La práctica docente del profesorado novel de educación primaria en su ingreso al servicio profesional
Authors: Gómez-Solís Myriam
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this article is to describe the difficulties in teaching practice, as well as the coping strategies, experienced by beginning elementary school teachers in Mexico upon entering the service. The study is qualitative with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, which allowed us to rely on narratives obtained through semi-structured interviews of five novice teachers. The results are presented from a perspective of theories and beliefs of educational practice in four dimensions: school context, anticipation, conduction and evaluation of the teaching-learning process. It is identified that teachers download the lesson plans elaborated on the Internet, from which the difficulties in the three moments of teaching derive since planning is the starting point to anticipate experiences and guide the actions of intervention and evaluation. Regarding the coping strategies, they have the teaching experience as a reference.

Published: October 2023

This academic essay aims to generate a reflection on the profile of the students of the major of English Teaching for I and II Cycles of the Universidad Nacional, in response to the multigrade school as an educational context in Costa Rica. For this, it begins with a brief historical review, as a contextualization, of the importance of the major being a pioneer in the incorporation of this type of primary educational institution in the formation of its university students. Subsequently, a mention is made about the pedagogical competences, at the level of professorship and baccalaureate, as a profile of the students of the major. In addition, a description of the characteristics of the single-teacher school is included, which must be considered within the training and professional awareness of the student body. Finally, it is mentioned how the program has been strengthening the professional profile of its students through The Umbrella English Teaching Project, the inter-unit work between the Basic Education Department [División de Educación Básica - DEB] and the Rural Education Department [División de Educación Rural - DER], and the participation of the student body in pedagogical activities of didactic and investigative training.

How Do the Demographic Differences of Architectural Students Correlate to Their Performance in Multidisciplinary Fields?
Authors: Soliman Mona H. , Farag Mamdouh , Hosny Fatima A.
Published: October 2023

Architectural education needs creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. However, little research has looked into how demographic differences, especially gender and learning style, affect the performance of architecture students especially in multidisciplinary curricula. Therefore, the paper aims to investigate the relationship between learning styles and gender among architecture students and their academic performance in a biomimicry-based practice.  A practice one-week workshop was employed with a sample of architecture students to identify their idea-generation style and creativity, through novelty, resolution, and elaboration. The study found that Learning styles greatly influence idea generation style preferences and creativity performance in teamwork. Females tend to be more collaborative idea-generators during the initial stages than males. Also, Scores of novelty and elaboration were more closely tied to learning styles, while resolution scores were more associated with gender. Despite many limitations such as the focus on a specific multidisciplinary field (the architectural articulation of biomimicry), the results contribute to the development of architecture teaching strategies and the broader field of biomimicry by providing insights into how different students approach biomimicry-based design challenges.
Analysis of Different ORM Tools for Data Access Object Tier Generation: A Brief Study
Authors: Hule Kuldeep , Ranawat Rekha
Published: October 2023

The Data Access Tier, also known as the Data Access Layer (DAL), is a specific tier within the 3-tier architecture or other software architectural patterns. The interaction between the application's business logic and the underlying data storage or database is managed by it. This pattern provides an abstraction layer that encapsulates the logic required to access and manipulate data in a data storage system. This paper demonstrates the related work that happened in the past regarding the generation of the data tier in between the business layer and the actual Database of the MVC/MVT architecture for faster software development. This study will go further into the imbalance of impedance among programming languages that are object-oriented and relational databases. It also elaborates on many researchers' perspectives on this topic using the ORM tool to generate such an ORM tier. Also, this paper illustrates the different shortcomings of this ORM tier. Pointing out the various approaches to data access layer generation, from databases to programming languages. Pinpointing the pitfalls of the researcher's work and how the researcher has presented their research paper. This paper will also suggest one of the proposed modules to overcome the shortcomings of the ORM tier. The proposed module has two approaches to generating the Data Access tier: reverse engineering, which means mapping from table to code, and Forward engineering, which means generating code first and then creating databases from the code.

The Legal Nature of Futures Contracts in Commodity Exchanges in Jordanian Legislation
Authors: Al-Amawi Dr. Mohammed Ali
Published: October 2023

Legal jurisprudence tends to classify futures settlement contracts in commodity exchanges as speculative and betting contracts, based on cash settlement as one of the methods for settling futures contracts. Sometimes, these contracts are settled by the difference between the opening and closing prices over a specified period. Such classification is a limited perspective based on legal jurisprudence viewing futures contracts as ordinary sales contrary to reality. Settlement futures contracts in commodity exchanges are distinctive contracts, and their uniqueness is derived from the nature of the assets traded. These contracts involve essential commodities that play a crucial role in national economies. Moreover, they are subject to a specific legal framework that differs from the legal system governing ordinary contracts. These contracts serve various purposes beyond buying and selling for immediate consumption and trade. They function as financial instruments for investment and risk management, serving purposes beyond simple consumption and immediate trade. The essential distinction that has led to confusion about futures settlement contracts is the time gap between their formation and execution, unlike ordinary contracts that are immediately executed.In this study, we attempted to unveil the ambiguity surrounding futures settlement contracts in commodity exchanges by highlighting their true nature as financial instruments playing a significant role in national economies. This reality has given futures settlement contracts a distinct legal nature.

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is called a silent epidemic which is not a life threatening condition, but a worldwide problem at the same time which contributes to poor quality of life. Aim: Design, implement comprehensive nursing interventions for adult women with stress urinary incontinence and evaluate the effect of these interventions on improving their quality of life. Quazi experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study. This study was carried out in the Urology and Nephrology Assuit University Hospital and its affiliate Clinic. A sample of 50 adult women, the mean age of studied patients was (42.22±11.84). Two tools were used by the researcher namely: Tool I: A structured interview questionnaire sheet it included two parts, part i: demographic data of patient and part ii: medical& urological data assessment. Tool II: Kings Health Questionnaire (KHQ), it is a standardized questionnaire used to assess the impact of stress urinary incontinence on quality of life. The results showed that the quality of life among adult women with stress urinary incontinence were improved after the implementation of comprehensive nursing interventions with a statistically significance difference (p>0.05) in all quality of life domains. . We conclude that provided comprehensive nursing interventions are effective in improving QOL in adult women with SUI. Given the study results, it is recommended that expand of public education efforts through various methods about importance of health educational interventions for appropriate management of stress urinary incontinence among women.

Our studies show that pathomorphological changes in the small intestine in acute experimental peritonitis are characterized by dystrophic, inflammatory-destructive and vascular disorders in the vascular tissue structures of the small intestine wall. In the pathogenesis of damage to the small intestine, deep inflammatory and destructive changes in the vessels of the microhemocirculatory bed, which subsequently lead to disruption of cell trophism, tissue hypoxia, damage to cellular elements, disruption of cellular metabolism, deficiency of energy and plastic materials, accumulation of perverted metabolic products in cells and tissues, are of great importance. The use of the “Zerotox“ enterosorbent in the treatment complex for the treatment of endogenous intoxication and toxemia had a positive effect on the morphofunctional status of the small intestine, on the clinical course of the disease, on the composition of the intestinal microflora, indicators of local immunological protection, improved clinical and laboratory signs of endogenous intoxication, reduced the recovery period bowel function, reduced the number of postoperative complications.

Published: October 2023

The study was aimed at evaluating the effects of an aqueous extract of Allium sativum on the biochemical parameters and histo-architecture of lead-induced cerebella damage in male Wistar rats. Sixteen male rats were procured for the study. They were divided into 4 groups, with 4 rats in each group. Group 1 (Control group) received only food and water, those in group 2 were given lead at the dosage of 120 mg/kg body weight. Group 3 received lead at the dosage of 120 mg/kg body weight and the extract at 300 mg/kg body weight while those in group 4 were given lead at the dosage of 120 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg body weight of the extract. The extracts were administered orally for 21 days. Blood samples were collected for biochemical evaluation. The rats were sacrificed, and their cerebella were harvested for histo-morphological studies. The levels of Superoxide dismutase (22.49 ± 1.21) and Malondialdehyde (1.17 ± 0.092) were normal in group 1. There was significant derangement in their levels in group 2, Superoxide dismutase (9.83 ± 0.93) and Malondialdehyde (11.42 ± 1.82). In groups 3 and 4, the levels of Superoxide dismutase increased towards the levels of the control group (12.81 ± 1.13, 16.06 ± 0.29), while those of Malondialdehyde also decreased towards the levels of the control group (6.49 ± 0.57, 3.12 ± 0.36).  The histo-architecture of the cerebella in group 1, appeared normal, those in group 2 showed traumatic encephalopathy of the granular cell layer. In groups 3 and 4, there was mild tissue traumatic encephalopathy. The extract of A. sativum showed a significant protective effect on the biochemical parameters and histo-architecture of lead-induced cerebella damage in adult male Wistar rats.
PROBLEMS OF TEXT LINGUISTICS AS A KEY PROBLEM OF WORLD LINGUISTICS
Authors: Nigmatovna Turniyazova Shakhnoza
Published: October 2023

This article discusses the text and its linguistic status. The problems of text linguistics are inextricably linked with the transfer of units of the language system to speech, its real use in practice. The main issues of text linguistics, including the justification of speech units and their differentiation from language units, have not been seriously addressed in our research. Text syntax is on the verge of full scientific justification in the current period of development of linguistics. If it is fully justified, it should be called "big syntax", which differs sharply from ordinary syntax in terms of its object of investigation, namely, in which the relations between sentences, complex syntactic devices, paragraphs and chapters are checked.

Fal – Fortune Telling from Chalil Juzefovich’s Tefsir (19th Century)
Authors: Miškinienė Galina
Published: October 2023

At the junction of the 20th–21st centuries more and more attention was being paid to the written heritage of Lithuanian Tatars. From 1997 to 2020 seven catalogues of Lithuanian Tatars manuscripts were published. These catalogues describe the Lithuanian Tatars manuscripts, which are kept in state institutions, museums, archives, as well as in private collections of various countries. The larg- est collections of manuscripts are stored in Belarus and Lithuania. The emergence of such catalogues is an excellent basis for further comparative studies.

In 2020 the author of this article managed to get acquainted with a new collection of manuscripts stored in a private collection. Five manuscripts were reviewed and analysed during this research. All of them perfectly represent the main genres of Lithuanian Tatars manuscripts heritage – kitabs, semi-kitabs, hamails, and tefsirs.

The manuscripts are dated from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Five manuscripts from this collection were presented in the article “Lithuanian Tatar Manuscripts Written in Arabic Script from the Private Collection: New Discoveries” (2020). So far, the content of only one manuscript has been described in a published article. Starting with the catalogue of Lithua- nian Tatar manuscripts written in Arabic script (2005), in which the compilers drew attention to the content of the manuscripts, other catalogues (2011, 2015, 2020) were published according to the same principles – revealing the content of the manuscript. An opportunity to undertake textological analysis of texts opened for researchers.

The folklore material from some manuscripts makes a system of incantations, healing spells, and protective rites that were popular not only among the Muslim community, but also among Christians and Jews. This system is closely related to beliefs and superstitions, the origins of which are found in the universal Muslim culture adopted by the Turks. Kitabs and chamails are abound of astrological, calendrical and magical texts. Texts about auspicious and inauspicious days, dreamers and fals (fortune-telling) attract the attention of scholars.

In this article, we present a fal that we have found in the tefsir (sufra) written by Chalil Juzefovich. This tefsir is dated from the 19th century. Although the fortune-telling text, which is being described for the first time, has no analogues in other manuscripts, it will provide excellent material for further comparative studies. It is much more difficult to determine the source(s) of such texts, as they were very popular in folk culture, may have had a number of variants and a wide circle of distribution. However, with each newly discovered and decoded text, we reveal a layer of Lithuanian Tatar manuscripts.
On the Vowel Epenthesis and Epithesis in Turkish Texts in the Manuscripts of Lithuanian Tatars
Authors: Durgut Hüseyin
Published: October 2023

Adding a vowel that is not in the original of a word to that word for various reasons is called vowel derivation. There is no morphological reason for vowel derivation and it aims to facilitate the pronunciation. There are three types of vowel derivation: at the beginning of the word, within the word and at the end of the word. The derivation of vowels at the beginning of a word in Turkish is not seen much in standard Turkish and is more common in dialects. Vowel epenthesis is a common phonetic event in standard Turkish. This phonetic event is encountered both in borrowed words and in words of Turkish origin. One of the reasons for the vowel epenthesis in Turkish is to make the borrowed words that do not fit the syllable structure of Turkish fit the syllable this structure and thus to eliminate the difficulty of pronunciation in the borrowed words. As it is known, only some consonant pairs can be found together at the end of words of Turkish origin. For this reason, in words borrowed with consonant pairs that are not suitable for the syllabic structure of Turkish, we come across vowel derivations within the word. This vowel derivation, which first appeared in the spoken language, can also pass into the standard language over time. The vowel epenthesis can also be seen in some Turkish origin words in order to add strength to the meaning. In Turkish, vowel epithesis is not as common as vowel epenthesis. The vowel epithesis is mostly seen in dialects and there are very few examples in standard language. The vowel epithesis is a phonetic event that is more common in some Turkic languages than in Türkiye Turkish. The derivation of vowel at the end of the word, especially seen in borrowed words, provides ease of pronunciation in words of foreign origin that do not fit the sound system of the Turkish language. The vowel epithesis occurs in borrowed words containing consonant pairs that are not suitable for the syllable structure of Turkish, as well as in borrowed words with twin consonants at the end of the word.

It is seen that examples of vowel epithesis in Turkish texts found in manuscripts of Lithuanian Tatars are more common than in Türkiye Turkish. In particular, the Miraj text and some poems belonging to the Old Anatolian Turkish period, which are among the manuscripts in the “kitab” type, provide us with a rich material on this subject. In these texts, examples of vowel epenthesis and epithesis in borrowed words from Arabic and Persian are used in pairs in an interesting way. In other words, we see that the same borrowed word is used both with vowel epenthesis and epithesis. In this study, events of vowel epenthesis and epithesis in Turkish texts found in manuscripts of Lithuanian Tatars are examined and the reasons for the higher incidence of vowel epithesis in these texts are discussed.
Piotr Czyżewski’s “Alfurkan tatarski” (Wilno, 1616/1617) and its Authorship
Authors: Temčinas Sergejus
Published: October 2023

The article focuses on the textual characteristics of the Polish anti-Ta- tar pamphlet “Alfurkan tatarski” written by Piotr Czyżewski (Wilno, 1616/1617) and reveals its text being a compilation. There are at least four different indica- tions for this. They were a result of borrowing certain textual fragments from Matiasz Czyżewski’s earlier edition “Alkoran” (1616), which is considered lost. However, its long title describing the contents survives and can be safely com- pared to the extant text of Piotr Czyżewski’s “Alfurkan tatarski”. This comparison reveals thematic similarities between the two editions accompanied by identical wording which must be viewed as result of textual borrowing from the earlier edition into the later one. This collaborates well with A. Brückner’s comparison of the two editions (both were available to him in the early 20th century) which were reported to contain partially the same textual material.

Traditionally the names of both authors are treated as pseudonyms of an un- known person who was recently identified with Józef Karcan (the printer of Piotr Czyżewski’s first edition of “Alfurkan tatarski”) or, alternatively, with Tomasz Pawłowski (the abbot of the Benedictine monastery in Old Trakai in ca 1597 – ca 1617). Nevertheless, the very nature of the revealed textual bor- rowings,  accompanied  by  a  significant  rearrangement  of  the  general  struc

ture, suggests that both editions have different  authors.  Since  Matiasz  and Piotr Czyżewski in their publications call themselves brothers and mention each other’s editions, they, contrary to the established tradition, must be con- sidered the actual authors of the respective printed books, and not fictitious pseudonyms.
The Role of Rituals and Ceremonies in the Identity Struggle of a Society that Has Lost Its Language: the Example of Lithuanian Tatars
Authors: Aça Mehmet
Published: October 2023

Language, history, geography, belief, and culture have an important role in the societies to have a common identity and to maintain their existence by embracing this identity. Identity generally refers to a person or group’s defini­ tion of itself and its positioning among other people or groups. One of the basic processes of the formation of identities at the group level is collective memory. A common emphasis plays an important role in the formation of group identi­ ty. Rituals and ceremonies are very functional in highlighting a common past and keeping the collective memory alive. Ritual, which means the repetition of certain values related to individuals or groups with symbolic and invariable sequential behaviour patterns, is an emotional channel that feeds group con­ sciousness and  unity.  It guides new  knowledge  and experience.  Rituals  that connect the past to the present and the present to the future can be either reli­ gious or secular. Rituals contribute to the raising of group consciousness in the participants; they determine social status and roles; they offer ready patterns of behaviour by showing how the individual will behave in society; they connect individuals to the past with an emotional bond.

Lithuanian Tatars, who had important rights and privileges recognized by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as the equivalent of their important services, have preserved their identity thanks to the rights and privileges granted to them, Islamic beliefs, rituals and ceremonies. Religious rituals, commemoration and celebration ceremonies supported the efforts of Lithuanian Tatars to keep their traditions alive; contributed to efforts to maintain ties between them; it kept their commitment to the roots or the common past alive. Celebrations and ceremonies related to religious festivals and transition periods perform im­ portant duties in the transfer of culture to children and young people. The celebration and commemoration programs organized for the 620th anniver­ sary of the arrival of the Tatars in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, on the one hand, expressed loyalty to the Lithuanian State and the Lithuanian people, on the other hand, contributed to remembering the roots. In particular, Sabantuy, held in Lithuania in 2017, contributed to the development of the relations of Lithuanian Tatars with other Tatar groups living in the Russian Federation and Anatolian Turks.

In this study, rituals and ceremonies will be discussed and interpreted through various rituals (religious festivals, rites of passage, Sabantuy, etc.) and ceremo­nies that contribute to the efforts of the Lithuanian Tatars to protect their iden­tity and culture.
Back from the grave: the life, death, and revival of the independent counsel law, 1978–1994
Authors: B Hoff Samuel
Published: October 2023

This article furnishes a detailed case study of an American law which was established to create a semi-independent method for examining wrongdoing within the executive branch of the Federal government, thereby preventing a conflict of interest. Though the Independent Counsel Law was created in 1978 with strong support and eventually renewed twice, allegations of intrusiveness, ineffectiveness, and waste of government resources resulted in its lapse in 1992. The Independent Counsel Law was resurrected just two years later amid charges involving President Bill Clinton’s land deals. In addition to covering events associated with the law’s rollercoaster ride from 1978 through 1994, the essay presents arguments for and against the renewal of the Independent Counsel Law.
History of the diplomatic negotiation in the International court of justice narrative, a review of the ICJ jurisprudence
Authors: Safar Alice
Published: October 2023

Diplomatic negotiation serves as a fundamental prerequisite to both arbitration and judicial settlement, a dynamic that unfolds alongside the evolution of conventional international law. Negotiation stands as an essential and integral precursor to the arbitral resolution. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the jurisprudence of the Permanent Court of International Justice (P.C.I.J.) and the International Court of Justice (I.C.J.), shedding light on the critical role of negotiation in achieving agreements and peaceful dispute resolutions. The prevailing customary foundation mirrors an era in international law marked by the "quasi-legislative role" of traditional sources. The obligation to negotiate may seemingly encroach on State sovereignty while endeavoring to establish a framework for nonviolent conflict resolution. Thus, it becomes imperative to initially address the juxtaposition between the sovereignty principle and the obligation to negotiate. Considering these realities, sovereignties are compelled to find common ground, underscoring the pivotal role of diplomatic negotiation in binding what is commonly referred to as the community of nations, evolving towards a higher level of political awareness ensure sustainable commitments between Nations and international stakeholders.
PECULIARITIES OF GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN TRANSGENE DETECTION IN TOBACCO AND MAIZE PLANTS BY PCR
Authors:   Institute of Cell Biology and Genetic Engineering, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Nitovska І.О.
Published: October 2023

The aim of the work was to investigate detection of different modifications of the green fluorescent protein gene (gfp) in the transgenic tobacco and maize plants by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methods. Total DNA isolation, PCR, electrophoresis of DNA in agarose gel, bioinformatic resources. Results. Three pairs of primers were used for PCR analysis of tobacco and maize containing wild-type gfp or mutant synthetic gene S65Tpgfp. The primer pair gfp1F-gfp1R interacted with the wild-type gfp gene only. The gfp2F-gfp2R primers interacted with the gfp gene of different modifications both in tobacco and maize. The gfp3F-gfp3R primer pair interacted with the modified S65Tpgfp gene in tobacco DNA, but not with maize samples. Conclusions. Primers for detection of heterologous gfp gene, which were both narrowly specific (only one gene modification could be detected), and universal (more than one gene modification could be detected), were verified. It was shown that the primer pair gfp2F-gfp2R was universal for gfp gene detection both in tobacco and maize plants by PCR. The results obtained with gfp2F-gfp2R were reliably reproducible, so this primer pair is recommended for general use.
NARRATIVAS MEMORIALÍSTICAS: POR UMA JUSTIFICAÇÃO FILOSÓFICA
Authors: Roberto Drawin Carlos
Published: October 2023

A expressão “narrativas memorialísticas” é de fácil compreensão, e, por conseguinte, pode parecer inusitada a pretensão de oferecer justificação filosófica a um significado aparentemente bem simples. Afinal, “narrar” é contar uma história e criar um enredo mais ou menos linear e banal, e, ao predicar a narração como “memorialística”, parece ser óbvio se tratar de algo relativo à recordação, e todos nós fazemos isso ao contarmos, todos os dias, uns aos outros, o que se sucedeu conosco em nossos afazeres e circunstâncias. Quando, no entanto, atribuímos às “narrativas memorialísticas” o estatuto de um método, a simplicidade do significado inicial pode ser justamente o elemento perturbador. A etimologia do termo “método” é bem conhecida, pois provém da palavra “caminho” (hodós), e um caminho ou itinerário é uma estrada (iter) que nos leva de um lugar a outro; por isso, segui-lo supõe possuir certo objetivo ou finalidade. Se já estamos onde queremos estar ou se nada sabemos sobre onde queremos ir, então não saímos do lugar ou, simplesmente, andamos em volta, mais ou menos perdidos. Mas, mesmo nesse caso, o objetivo está posto, embora permaneçamos parados ou andando sem rumo. Há sempre um objetivo explícito ou pressuposto, e a possível dificuldade se encontra em determinar qual trajeto devemos tomar para atingi-lo.
Hipocresía sintomática; ¿Liberación parcial del drama masculino?
Authors: Guillén Vargas Juan Manuel
Published: October 2023

Encarnar una masculinidad hegemónica engloba todos estos protocolos, conductas y actitudes que responden al problema de la legitimidad del patriarcado, es decir, conlleva una serie de prácticas que justifican una estructura de dominación de un género sobre el otro. Hay un arquetipo masculino que se espera de los hombres, en el que deben seguir una serie de mandatos como mostrarse fuertes, impulsivos, violentos, incluyendo también una serie de prohibiciones como la expresión de emociones que muestren debilidad. Sin embargo, hay excepciones dentro de los espacios exclusivamente masculinos donde esta ley hegemónica no se cumple al pie de la letra, eventos que se nombran en este ensayo como hipocresía sintomática masculina. Sin importar de que estas excepciones a la ley hegemónica de la masculinidad sean un acto hipócrita o no, nos muestran una serie de carencias producto de encarnar este arquetipo de hombre, que la ley masculina además no permite otra forma de satisfacer. De este mismo modo, nos invita a pensar en formas de masculinidad más allá de la hegemónica, que no se construyan desde la violencia y el malestar.
Kléruchiák és határkövek
Authors: Lindner Gyula
Published: October 2023

Athén hódításaiból nemcsak az athéni polgárok, hanem maguk az istenek is profitáltak. A Kr. e. V. század során ugyanis Athén a meghódított, olykor kléruchiává szervezett területeken a konfiskált földekből az isteneknek is (Athéné, Apollón, Poseidón stb.) dedikált parcellákat. Erről számos esetben tanúskodnak az adott területen (Aigina, Chalkis, Samos, Kós) talált határkövek (horoi), amelyek jelzik, hogy a földterület az istenség szentélykörzetének a részét képezi, akár úgy is, mint mezőgazdasági művelés alá vont temenos. Ezeket a földbirtokokat gyakran bérbe adták, és a befolyt bérleti díjat az istenség kultuszhelyének a finanszírozására fordították. A tanulmány az athéni expanzív külpolitika ezen vallási aspektusait vizsgálja a rendelkezésre álló irodalmi és epigráfiai források tükrében.
Sókratés androgün filozófiája
Authors: Mogyoródi Emese
Published: October 2023

A tanulmány Sókratés férfiasságának és nőiességének kérdéskörét járja körül, részben általában azon értelmezésekkel vitába szállva, amelyek a görög filozófiát alapvetően mizogünként fogják fel, részben azokkal, amelyek megkülönböztetik a (férfias) „elvek etikáját” és a (nőies) „gondoskodás etikáját”. E célból áttekinti a sókratési életmód, tanítások, illetve módszerek azon vonásait, amelyek férfiasságát (katonai hősiesség, bátorság, viszontagságtűrés), illetve nőiességét („sókratési evangélium”, bábáskodás, gondoskodás és szolgálat) tanúsítják, és amellett érvel, hogy Sókratés e férfias és nőies attitűdök harmonikus egységét valósítja meg, és így elkerüli a mindkét nem esetében ártalmas „türannikus apa”, illetve „felfaló anya” archetípusát. Sókratés filozófiája se nem férfias, se nem nőies, de nem is gendersemleges, hanem androgün. Sókratés androgün filozófiája fejeződik ki etikájában is, melyben az általa képviselt legfőbb elv épp a gondoskodás, ezért esetében nem érvényes a fenti szembeállítás.
Myopic Misunderstandings?

This paper engages with Nathan Meyer’s (2022) paper ‘Finding Sites in Mediterranean Survey’. Building upon longstanding critiques of Mediterranean survey practices, Meyer argues for a re-direction of survey practices. We feel that several of his core arguments reflect an unbalanced view on the role of site and off-site data in Mediterranean surveys, conflating intensive and siteless surveys. Moreover, while these critiques seem to us unnecessarily negative regarding the analytical potential of off-site data, they also reflect an overconfident attitude towards the use of site data for comparative purposes.
Preliminary inventory of intertidal flora in Vigur Island, Iceland
Authors: Milesi-Gaches David Pierre
Published: October 2023

This study presents the initial findings of a pilot intertidal inventory conducted on Vigur Island, Iceland. The primary focus was to identify the flora species present in the intertidal zone, without delving into their distribution or coverage. Using transect and scanning methods, this inventory provides insights into the biodiversity of this coastal region. This preliminary assessment lays the groundwork for future comprehensive studies on the island's intertidal biodiversity.
Bibliometric Analysis of Covid 19 and Industry 4.0 Studies Published In Web of Science Database

The Covid 19 pandemic, which emerged in 2019 and spread rapidly and became a hot topic in the world, has negatively affected people's lives in every sense. In order to eliminate these negative effects, many practices such as masks, curfews, distance education, working from home and vaccination have been implemented. Despite these, the Covid 19 epidemic has brought the production sector to a halt. It is thought that this situation can only be overcome with Industry 4.0 technologies, which envisage using robots instead of human factors. It is thought that the production style, which requires robots to work 24 hours a day, on which Industry 4.0 is based, may be a good method in combating the Covid 19 epidemic, as it reduces the need for humans. Even in the field of health, Industry 4.0 applications are expected to produce positive results in terms of both treatment and prevention of infection. The idea of benefiting from Industry 4.0 technologies during the Covid 19 pandemic period has been influential in academics turning to this field and many studies have been conducted on the subject. This study was conducted to examine the studies using the bibliometric analysis method. In this context, bibliometric analysis was conducted to determine the number of publications addressing Covid 19 and Industry 4.0 issues, the most cited articles, the most published authors, countries and journals. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used to obtain publications. The keywords used were subjected to a filtering process to prevent the inclusion of articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria, resulting in 305 publications. R statistical software was used to analyze the obtained data. According to the analysis results, India was found to be the country with the most articles on Covid 19 and Industry 4.0 according to the main affiliation of the author.
Select and Augment: Enhanced Dense Retrieval Knowledge Graph Augmentation
Authors: Abaho Micheal , Alfaifi Yousef H.
Published: October 2023

Injecting textual information into knowledge graph (KG) entity representations has been a worthwhile expedition in terms of improving performance in KG oriented tasks within the NLP community. External knowledge often adopted to enhance KG embeddings ranges from semantically rich lexical dependency parsed features to a set of relevant key words to entire text descriptions supplied from an external corpus such as wikipedia and many more. Despite the gains this innovation (Text-enhanced KG embeddings) has made, the proposal in this work suggests that it can be improved even further. Instead of using a single text description (which would not sufficiently represent an entity because of the inherent lexical ambiguity of text), we propose a multi-task framework that jointly selects a set of text descriptions relevant to KG entities as well as align or augment KG embeddings with text descriptions. Different from prior work that plugs formal entity descriptions declared in knowledge bases, this framework leverages a retriever model to selectively identify richer or highly relevant text descriptions to use in augmenting entities. Furthermore, the framework treats the number of descriptions to use in augmentation process as a parameter, which allows the flexibility of enumerating across several numbers before identifying an appropriate number. Experiment results for Link Prediction demonstrate a 5.5% and 3.5% percentage increase in the Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) and Hits@10 scores respectively, in comparison to text-enhanced knowledge graph augmentation methods using traditional CNNs.

Research background. The aim of this study is to determine and compare the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of juices and extracts of the peel, aril and membrane of the cultivated and wild pomegranate fruits.
Experimental approach. The content of total phenols, total flavonoids, total flavonols, total flavan-3-ols and total anthocyanins was determined spectrophotometrically. The individual phenolics were quantified by HPLC. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH and ABTS tests and neutralisation of hydroxyl radical, while the antiproliferative activity was measured in vitro by sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay.
Results and conclusions. Total phenolics were statistically highest in wild pomegranate peel extract, expressed in gallic acid equivalents, 340.92 mg/g (p<0.05), while total flavonoid content was the highest in cultivated pomegranate peel extract, expressed in quercetin equivalents, 31.84 mg/g (p<0.05). The sample of wild pomegranate peel extract showed the highest antioxidant activity with respect to free DPPH and ABTS radicals. The samples of cultivated pomegranate peel and membrane extracts had almost identical and the strongest effect on the inhibition of hydroxyl radicals (41.24 and 41.23 μg/mL, respectively). The sample of wild pomegranate peel extract showed the strongest effect on the growth inhibition of all tested tumour cell lines.
Novelty and scientific contribution. In this study, the bioactivity of different parts of cultivated and wild pomegranates was determined and compared. In the available literature, the individual antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of only some parts of the pomegranate fruit was investigated. All parts of the pomegranate fruit were investigated, including the membrane, which was barely analysed in other works. The wild pomegranate has also been less analysed in previous studies. Future research should focus on in vivo studies of the obtained pomegranate samples.
