‘Landscape of Memory’: the case of Bronze and Iron Age Armenia
Authors: Avetisyan Hayk , Gnuni Artak , Bobokhyan Arsen
Published: March 2023

Historical memory lies at the basis of identity of each society and predetermines the value system of that society. However historical memory is not purely an abstract category: the existence of it is justified only in a certain landscape, the separate elements of which, as landmarks, create the so called ‘landscape of memory’. This ‘embodied’ sphere of memory, which is expressed both in geographical units as well as in spiritual and material values predominates especially in traditional societies, which in contradiction to industrial and post-industrial future-oriented societies, are wholly oriented to the memory – to the past and ancestors. Thus, the ‘landscape of memory’ is a stratified database of memory under which a concrete space becomes sacred and the time – cyclic.

Published: March 2023

During the 2007-2008 field season seven tombs were excavated at Lori Berd. Four of these date to the end of the Late Bronze Age. One of the largest tombs (Tomb 81) of the site is located nearly in the centre of the cemetery, 70 m south of the Stepanavan-Lori Berd road. The oval (13.5 × 6.1 m) burial mound was composed of stones and soil, measured 0.6 m high. The centre was slightly sunken: it had a flat surface, and was oriented to the northwest – southeast. Sixteen large slabs forming the false vaulted roof of the burial chamber were discovered 0.2 – 0.4 m below the grass-covered mound. The four central stones were placed in the horizontal position, while the parameter stones were leaning towards the chamber.

The hill of Arin-berd is located in the south-eastern periphery of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, on the northern edge of the Ararat Valley (Figure 1). On the hilltop are the ruins of a fortress built by the Urartian king Argišti I (785/780-756 BC). The fortress has been identified with certainty as corresponding to ancient Er(e)buni, which is mentioned in a number Urartian inscriptions discovered both on the site, and in Karmir-blur, as well in the Ḫorḫor annals of Argišti I in Van fortress and duplicate found in St.Sahak’s church in Van. The first information on the site goes back to 1879, when on a foothill, the first inscription of Argišti I was discovered. In 1894, an archaeological survey was conducted by A.A. Ivanovskij on behalf of the Imperial Archaeological Society of Moscow.
The golden statue of the goddess Anahit in the context of the artistic culture of ancient Armenia
Authors: Margaryan Hasmik
Published: March 2023

Many narratives on the temples and cult centres of ancient Armenia, particularly on the temples in the Euphrates and Aratsani river valleys are preserved in the Classical and Armenian early medieval written sources. One of the most significant temples was the temple of the goddess Anahit, located in the settlement Erez of the province of Acilisene. Acilisene’s land properties and political weight was so great that Pliny the Elder and Dio Cassius named this province after the temple Anaetica. This religious centre occupied one of the most important places among famous temples of Asia Minor, such as the temple of Anahit in Zela (in Comana Pontica) and the temple of Enyo-Ma in Comana Cappadocia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of hydrocortisone combined with vitamin C and vitamin B1 versus hydrocortisone on sublingual microcirculation in septic shock patients. METHODS: This pilot study enrolled septic shock patients admitted to the ICU of a tertiary teaching hospital from February 2019 to January 2020. We randomly assigned the enrolled patients to the treatment group (hydrocortisone combined with vitamin C and vitamin B1 added to standard care) and the control group (hydrocortisone alone added to standard care) in a 1 : 1 ratio. The primary outcome was perfused small vascular density (sPVD) monitored by a sublingual microcirculation imaging system at 24 hours after treatment. RESULTS: Twelve patients in the treatment group and ten in the control group completed the study. The baseline characteristics were comparable between the groups. No statistically significant difference was found in the sPVD between the groups at baseline. The sPVD in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 4 hours after treatment (mean difference, 7.042; 95% CI, 2.227-11.857; P = 0.009) and 24 hours after treatment (mean difference, 7.075; 95% CI, 2.390-11.759; P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with hydrocortisone, hydrocortisone combined with vitamin C and vitamin B1 significantly improves microcirculation in septic shock patients.
Localized White Matter Tract Integrity Measured by Diffusion Tensor Imaging Is Altered in People with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Associated with Dual-Task and Single-Task Gait Speed
Authors: Haddad Seyyed M.H. , Pieruccini-Faria Frederico , Montero-Odasso Manuel , Bartha Robert
Published: March 2023

Background: Altered white matter (WM) tract integrity may contribute to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and gait abnormalities. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics were altered in specific portions of WM tracts in people with MCI and to determine whether gait speed variations were associated with the specific DTI metric changes. Methods: DTI was acquired in 44 people with MCI and 40 cognitively normal elderly controls (CNCs). Fractional anisotropy (FA) and radial diffusivity (RD) were measured along 18 major brain WM tracts using probabilistic tractography. The average FA and RD along the tracts were compared between the groups using MANCOVA and post-hoc tests. The tracts with FA or RD differences between the groups were examined using an along-tract exploratory analysis to identify locations that differed between the groups. Associations between FA and RD in whole tracts and in the segments of the tracts that differed between the groups and usual/dual-task gait velocities and gross cognition were examined. Results: Lower FA and higher RD was observed in right cingulum-cingulate gyrus endings (rh.ccg) of the MCI group compared to the CNC group. These changes were localized to the posterior portions of the rh.ccg and correlated with gait velocities. Conclusion: Lower FA and higher RD in the posterior portion of the rh.ccg adjacent to the posterior cingulate suggests decreased microstructural integrity in the MCI group. The correlation of these metrics with gait velocities suggests an important role for this tract in maintaining normal cognitive-motor function.
Multiple preferences induced aggregation with uncertainty influences in group evaluation of water resource management
Authors: Liu Jing , Zhang ErZi , Ma Chao , Yager Ronald R. , Senapati Tapan , Yatsalo Boris , Jin LeSheng
Published: March 2023

In many multi criteria group decision making problems, the individual evaluation values offered by experts are with uncertainties. Therefore, when assigning weights to those experts using preferences induced weights allocation, we can have two types of bi-polar preferences. The first one is the optimism-pessimism preference over evaluation values; the second one is the uncertainty aversion preference over the attached numerical certainty/uncertainty degrees. When performing preferences induced weights allocation, the certainty/uncertainty degrees will affect the optimism-pessimism preference induced weights allocation because the magnitudes of those evaluation values might not be the exact ones. Moreover, the importance of those experts in multi criteria group decision making can also have influence over the two types of preference induced weights allocation processes, and the importance can also be with uncertainties and can be expressed using basic uncertain information. Therefore, to handle this situation with multiple inducing variables and uncertainties, we simultaneously consider the influence of the uncertainties attached to evaluation values and the influence of uncertain importance of experts, and thus we at the same time adopt the method of confidence threshold and the method of uncertain importance level function to propose some synthesized method to adjust the induced weights allocation processes. We also propose a complete multi criteria group decision making problems to show the feasibility and reasonability of the proposed decision model for the complex situation where both evaluation values and expert importance are expressed by basic uncertain information.

Published: March 2023

Fruit detection is essential for harvesting robot platforms. However, complicated environmental attributes such as illumination variation and occlusion have made fruit detection a challenging task. In this study, a Transformer-based mask region-based convolution neural network (R-CNN) model for tomato detection and segmentation is proposed to address these difficulties. Swin Transformer is used as the backbone network for better feature extraction. Multi-scale training techniques are shown to yield significant performance gains. Apart from accurately detecting and segmenting tomatoes, the method effectively identifies tomato cultivars (normal-size and cherry tomatoes) and tomato maturity stages (fully-ripened, half-ripened, and green). Compared with existing work, the method has the best detection and segmentation performance for these tomatoes, with mean average precision (mAP) results of 89.4% and 89.2%, respectively.
Deep convolution neural network for machine health monitoring using spectrograms of vibration signal and its EMD-intrinsic mode functions
Authors: Pavithra R. , Ramachandran Prakash
Published: March 2023

A spectrum-image based representation of machine vibration signals with deep convolution neural network is proposed for machine fault classification in which the convolution layer is used for automatic feature extraction as an alternate to the conventional feature-based methods. Two different forms of spectrum representations are proposed, one based on the short time Fourier transform of the original signals and the other based on the short time Fourier transform of the intrinsic mode functions acquired by empirical mode decomposition. Empirical mode decomposition has its own merits in discriminating non stationary signals and the novelty of the work is to use the short time Fourier transform of intrinsic mode functions with deep convolution neural network model. The classification and validation accuracy of the model are investigated with respect to epochs. It is demonstrated that both spectrum-based techniques perform good with 100% model accuracies in a numerical experiment of binary classification on a bearing dataset that comprises of normal and faulty signals. In another experiment using milling data set, short time Fourier transform of intrinsic mode functions representation performs better with 100% training accuracy, F1 score of 0.8933 which is better than that of using short time Fourier transform of raw signals whose training accuracy is 64% and F1 score of 0.7486. The numerical study shows that the empirical mode decomposition based spectrum representation delivers the highest accuracy in the learning model obviating the necessity for independent feature extraction, feature selection, and dimension reduction. The numerical experiment is extended using empirical mode decomposition based spectrums for multiple class classification problems in bearing dataset. The confusion matrix obtained for 10 classes, shows that validation accuracy is 100% for all classes. The performance comparison throws light on the merits of empirical mode decomposition spectrum method over other state of the art methods.

Electro discharge machining (EDM) is a cycle for molding tough materials and framing profound contour formed openings by warm disintegration in all sort of electrically conductive materials. The goal of the venture to be concentrating because of working parameters of EDM for machining of silicon nitride-titanium nitride in the machining qualities with copper electrode, for example input Spark on time (Son), current (Ip), Spark off time (Soff), spark gap and dielectric pressure on the metal removal rate (MRR) and Electrode Wear Rate (EWR) were analyzed. Subsequently, using Taguchi analysis of various plots like Mean effect plots, Interaction plots, and contour plots, performance characteristics are looked at in relation to multiple process factors. Fuzzy logic and Regression analysis is utilized to combine various reactions into a solitary trademark record known as the Multi Response Performance Index (MRPI).The trial and anticipated qualities were in a decent programming instrument for discovering the MRPI esteem. For numerous performance aspects, such as material removal rate, electrode wear rate and so on, the optimal process parameter combination was established using fuzzy logic analysis. The key process factors, which included spark off time and current, were found using an ANOVA based on a fuzzy algorithm. Topography on machined surface and cross-sectional view of conductive Si3N4-TiN composite and surface characteristics of machined electrode is examined by SEM analysis and identified the best hole surface and worst hole surface. Sensitivity analysis is being utilized to determine how much the input values, such as Ip, Son and Soff, will need to alter in order to get the desired, optimal result. In the complexity analysis, each constraint of the machine, composite and process is addressed. Future researches might look into various electrodes to assess geometrical tolerances including angularity, parallelism, total run out, flatness, straightness, concentricity, and line profile employing other optimization methodologies to achieve the best outcome. The findings of the confirmatory experiment have been established, indicating that it may be feasible to successfully strengthen the spark eroding technique.

Published: March 2023

While there has been a trend in the last decades for publishing large-scale and highly-interconnected Knowledge Graphs (KGs), their users often get overwhelmed by the task of understanding their content as a result of their size and complexity. Data profiling approaches have been proposed to summarize large KGs into concise and meaningful representations, so that they can be better explored, processed, and managed. Profiles based on schema patterns represent each triple in a KG with its schema-level counterpart, thus covering the entire KG with profiles of considerable size. In this paper, we provide empirical evidence that profiles based on schema patterns, if explored with suitable mechanisms, can be useful to help users understand the content of big and complex KGs. ABSTAT provides concise pattern-based profiles and comes with faceted interfaces for profile exploration. Using this tool we present a user study based on query completion tasks. We demonstrate that users who look at ABSTAT profiles formulate their queries better and faster than users browsing the ontology of the KGs. The latter is a pretty strong baseline considering that many KGs do not even come with a specific ontology to be explored by the users. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to investigate the impact of profiling techniques on tasks related to knowledge graph understanding with a user study.

Authors: Shiza Khan  , Saleem Dr Faiza
Published: March 2023

The term Investor Sentiment (IS) depicts the mental activities of investors and reflects their expectations towards the market. It plays a crucial role in their decision making process, which ultimately affects the stock market. The current research attempted to examine the nexus between IS and Equity Returns (ER) of 61 financial and non-financial firms of the KSE-100 index of Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Data was collected from the official website of PSX and the published annual reports of the companies for the period 2008–2019. Vector Auto Regression Model (VAR) was used to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The findings revealed that the Share Turnover (SHT) and Money Flow Index (MFI) indicated a significant positive relationship with ER for the KSE-100 index. Similarly, the Price Earnings Ratio (PER) was found to be significantly inversely related to ER. The current study is important both for investors to predict stock trends and for the government's formulation of policies to prevent excessive stock market volatility. It also suggests some important implications for policymakers and investors in order to improve investment policies and make good investment decisions.

Tax Technology, Fairness Perception and Tax Compliance among Individual Taxpayers
Authors: Nasira Perveen  , Ashfaq Ahmad
Published: March 2023

International Center for Tax and Development estimated that majority of the countries collect 80% of total revenue from taxation. However, most of the developing countries including Pakistan face difficulty in taxation compliance. In Pakistan, taxation system faces a major barrier to compliance in terms of trust deficit among citizens regarding tax authorities. The current study  attempted to assess the influence of tax technology on taxation compliance and how it helps to formulate fairness perception about the taxation system. It employed Technology Acceptance model (TAM) to extract the variables of the study according to the local setting of Pakistan. The population of the study consisted of individual tax filers including two segments of the society, that is, salaried individuals and self-employed individuals. Snowball sampling technique was used to collect the data by using a self-administered questionnaire. The selected sample generated 169 complete and useable observations/responses. The data was analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through Smart PLS. The findings indicated a significant direct influence of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and facilitating conditions on tax compliance. Moreover, fairness perception showed a significant positive influence on tax compliance, supported by fairness heuristic theory. The perceived tax fairness significantly mediates the association of the perceived ease of use and facilitating conditions with tax compliance. However, this mediation was not found in the relationship between perceived usefulness and tax compliance. This study could help tax administrators to cope with the issue of trust deficit among tax files and state authorities.

Management innovation is an important source of sustained competitive advantage because of its context-specific nature. The current research contributes towards advancing an indigenous management innovation theory in the context of Pakistan.  Previously, many studies have been conducted to build this theory in the context of developed economies. The current study draws mainly on institutional perspective. It explores how several individual and organizational contextual factors enable a business firm to implement a portfolio of new management practices to manage innovation in the textile sector. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. It resulted in exploring three contextual factors which remain critical to produce specific management innovations imperative for a company’s success. The findings allow the construction of propositions through encouraging future research. The implications for management theory and practice are also provided.
Measuring researchers’ success more fairly: going beyond the H-index
Authors: Formoso Giulio
Published: March 2023

Citation impact indicators play a relevant role in the evaluation of researchers’ scientific production and can influence research funding and future research outputs. The H-index is widely used in this regard, in spite of several shortcomings such as not considering the actual contribution of each author, the number of authors, their overall scientific production and the scientific quality of citing articles. Several authors have highlighted some of these limits. Alternative systems have been proposed but have gained less fortune.

In order to show that fairer criteria to assess researchers’ scientific impact can be achieved, a workable example is presented through a novel method, integrating the aforementioned elements by using information available in bibliographic databases.

A better, merit-based proxy measure is warranted and can be achieved, although a perfect score without shortcomings is a chimera. Any proposal on a new measure would require clear reasoning, easy math and a consensus between publishers, considering researchers’ and research funders’ point of view. In any case, the relevance of authors’ scientific achievements cannot be adequately represented by a quantitative index only, and qualitative judgements are also necessary. But the time is ripe to make decisions on a fairer, although proxy, measure of scientific outputs.

Information media is an essential medium in communication. So that the information provided is easy to see and read, the media used is placed in a visible place. Nowadays, data has become an inseparable part of process performance. With the advancement of technology, many new information media use electronic media that is used not only as news and advertising media but also as information media located in buildings or offices. Display running text matrix can be used to make the text according to the desired character. Besides, all Work and human needs are highly dependent on electrical energy. Human negligence in using electrical energy will cause waste, which also impacts the cost of using electrical energy. Therefore, we need a tool that can monitor the consumption of electrical power and limit the current use of the load, even if the user of electrical energy is not in place. Of course, making this tool requires a voltage sensor, sensor current ACS712, Arduino nano, and NodeMCU. This tool will monitor the power IoT-based and can be monitored via the internet as a graphical display on the server thingspeak.com. The results of this design can measure voltage one and voltage sensor two with an average error value of 1.75% and 1.38%, and the current measurement has an error value between 0.22% to 3.82% with an average error value of 1.46%.

Published: March 2023

Introdução: Os sarcomas primários do pulmão são tumores malignos raros com incidência estimada em torno de 0,5% de todas as neoplasias pulmonares. De suas tipificações descritas na literatura, duas especialmente, os leiomiossarcomas e os rabdomiossarcomas, apresentam semelhanças em seu perfil genético, morfológico e imuno-histoquímico, o que os levou a receberem uma mesma classificação: tumor rabdomioblástico inflamatório. Esse tipo de tumor costuma acometer tecidos moles em extremidades e tronco, e predomina em meio a homens jovens e de meia-idade. Em razão do pequeno número de casos de tumores rabdomioblásticos relatados na literatura, tanto seu diagnóstico quanto seu tratamento são pouco descritos. Relato de caso: Paciente, sexo feminino, 19 anos, apresentou três episódios de infecção respiratória no lobo inferior do pulmão direito em um período de 18 meses. A tomografia computadorizada do tórax evidenciou obstrução do brônquio intermediário e áreas de bronquiectasias no lobo inferior direito. Diante disso, realizou-se bilobectomia inferior-média, conduzida por cirurgia robótica. A paciente recebeu alta hospitalar três dias depois do pós-operatório. A imuno-histoquímica revelou tumor rabdomioblástico inflamatório de baixo grau. Conclusão: Este relato apresentou um caso de tumor pulmonar raro, abordado por uma técnica cirúrgica ainda não relatada para esse tipo de patologia.

СПЕЦИФІКА ОСВІТНЬО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНИХ ПРИНЦИПІВ ГРИ НА ГІТАРІ У ПРАКТИЦІ ШТЕПАНА РАКА (ЧЕХІЯ)
Authors: СТРИЖИБОРОДА Петро
Published: March 2023

У пропонованій статті розглянуто основні освітньо-педагогічні принципи відомого сучасного чеського гітариста українського походження Штепана Рака. Його багаторічний виконавський досвід та педагогічна практика у провідних навчальних закладах Європи (Фінляндія, Чехія), численні майстер-класи по цілому світу, різножанрова композиторська творчість дозволили сформувати авторську унікальну цілісну концепцію навчання гітарної гри для початківців та фахівців. Основу педагогічно-методичної творчості митця складає опора на навчальні традиції його вчителя Ш. Урбана. Наукову новизну і мету статті складає уведення до наукового обігу українського мистецтвознавства узагальнення методично-педагогічних принципів Ш. Рака (Чехія) у грі на гітарі. Основними методологічними підходами і методами дослідженнями виступають – історично-хронологічний, аналітичний, порівняльний. Філософсько-естетичний підхід у концепції Ш. Рака передбачає сприйняття гітари як інструмента для музичного висловлювання, комунікації зі слухачами, провідника у світ високого мистецтва. Методичний підхід враховує специфіку п’ятипальцевої методики звуковидобування, яка повинна застосовуватися з початкового етапу опанування інструмента, та формування навиків «економної» гри шляхом спостереження за рухами пальців у обох напрямах активації струни. Репертуарний підхід гітарної методики Ш. Рака враховує вікові, технічні, художньо-мистецькі, виховні завдання з урахуванням фізіологічних показників та музичних здібностей учня. Доповненням до навчально-методичної концепції Ш. Рака слугує й аналіз його творів для початкового навчання. Творчість для дітей у діяльності Ш. Рака займає окремий напрям, спрямований не лише для опанування інструмента в його звуковидобувних та штрихових позиціях, але й на осмислення засад інтерпретації музичного твору на гітарі, подолання сценічного хвилювання та набуття сценічного досвіду виконавства та інтерпретації. Висновки. Методично-педагогічні принципи Ш. Рака умовно можна розділити на декілька підходів: філософсько-естетичний, методичний, репертуарний. Кожен з підходів сприяє формуванню не лише конкретних виконавських навичок гітариста, але й реалізації виховних та аксіологічних завдань.

Belief can not be enforced. That phrase is often used as a philosophical argument why religious freedom should be upheld. Associated with the issue of human rights, religious freedom became one of the individual rights that can not be dihegemoni by any authority. In fact, included in this latter region, the freedom is no religion at all. If this issue is positioned with Islamic law on the one hand and with the laws of Indonesia on the other hand, practically will invite conversation is not simple. Whereas in Islam, acts out of Islam which is known as riddah is viewed as a crime. Then, how is it possible not to religious freedom can be juxtaposed with the belief in one God who became the first principle of Pancasila state ideology. Thus, the claim that religious freedom is a basic philosophical getting strong argument, not necessarily can be a reality. Keyakinan itu tidak dapat dipaksakan. Inilah kalimat yang sering dijadikan argumen filosofis kenapa kebebasan beragama harus dijunjung tinggi. Dikaitkan dengan isu hak asasi manusia, kebebasan beragama menjadi salah satu hak individu yang tidak dapat dihegemoni oleh otoritas apapun. Bahkan, termasuk dalam wilayah yang terakhir ini, kebebasan untuk tidak beragama sama sekali. Apabila isu ini diposisikan dengan hukum Islam di satu sisi dan dengan perundang-undangan Indonesia di sisi lain, praktis akan mengundang perbincangan yang tidak sederhana. Padahal dalam Islam, perbuatan keluar dari Islam yang dikenal dengan riddah dipandang sebagai sebuah kejahatan. Kemudian, bagaimana mungkin kebebasan untuk tidak beragama dapat disandingkan dengan Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa yang menjadi sila pertama dasar negara Pancasila. Dengan demikian, klaim kebebasan beragama yang secara filosofis mendapatkan dasar argumentasi yang kuat, tidak serta merta dapat menjadi realitas kehidupan.

Authors: Ardinal Eva
Published: March 2023

Science of Nahwu is recognized as a discipline that is loaded with a variety of rules and theories, as the result of a process of a long journey in the history of Arabic linguistics. Starting from the codification and systemization activities of Arabic vocabulary is quite time consuming, then linguists (al-Lughawiyyûn / linguist) construct and lay the basic principles of the rules of the language. The basic principles of nahwu at first is  very simple then evolved into a "science" which is very complicated and cumbersome. Nahwu is no longer just functions as a deductive rule or a grammar, but it also has become one of the instruments to understand the Qur'an itself, which in turn gave rise to many theories nahwu developed by experts nahwu (nuhât / Grammarian). This, of course, more difficult to understand and learn the science of Nahwu itself. For the purposes of education and teaching that is deemed necessary rethinking and renewal (tajdid) in the field of teaching and teaching nahwa materials simplification.
TEACHING SKIMMING ARTICLES IN AN ESP CONTEXT BY USING METACOGNITIVE STRATEGY TO INCREASE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION
Authors: Trimadona Eliza
Published: March 2023

To get good understanding of reading, the students can use skimming, reading quickly without missing important points. However, some students still do not know how to do skimming effectively, even in ESP context, because they still use the tradional one. This paper discussed about metacognitive skimming strategy to increase students understanding towards long articles. The steps of the strategy are (1). provide them with ten pages articles and ask them to read, (2). Stop them while just reading two or three paragraphs, (3). Take opportunity of their confussions to explain about why they read this, (4). Extend the discussion to show that how people read is closely connected to why they read, (5). Then ask them to  speculate on the purposes of reading texts in science and how these purposes may influence the way they approach the technical reading material, and (6). Discuss how skimming can be used in the research context. It hopes that by using this strategy the students could read long text by considering the purpose of reading itself especially in ESP context.

This study aims to trace the syntax of the linguistic sentence in children with Down syndrome by giving them pictures from children's stories and asking each child to describe the pictures after hearing the natural children’s descriptions. This is to trace the syntax used by children with Down syndrome and demonstrate they are to communicate with their peers and the way they construct linguistic sentences as their ability to speak and express is less than their ability to understand what is being said. This study focused on answering the question it posed, which is the extent of the ability of children with Down syndrome in the Sultanate of Oman to express themselves and what structures they adopt in their expressions. This study is based on a clear principle saying that the linguistic sentence is a complete expression indicating a meaning. The study finds that these children, compared to normal children, rely on sentences with transformational structures. This is possibly due to the lack of the expressive vocabulary they need to describe a scene or an image. They use the past tense and imperative, not the present tense.

High school students can be considered examples of individuals who suffer pressure from social dynamics, as they are inserted in exhausting academic and personal lives. From this, one of the solutions found to relieve such situations of physical and psychological exhaustion is the use of substances classified as psychoactive. However, many of these students who use these substances do not have the proper knowledge about the effects they cause on health, especially related with the quality of sleep. Therefore, this paper is justified by the importance that sleep has in studies, which, according to psychology, is in the processes of understanding, assimilation and memorization of what has been learned. The objective of the present research is to analyze, from a bibliographic point of view, the relationship between the consumption of psychoactive substances and the students' perception of the quality of their sleep, having as target public, the high school students from IFRS - Vacaria Campus. In this way, a qualitative and quantitative questionnaire was sent by Google Forms aiming at data collection and survey, with the purpose of observing the quantity and frequency that are used, in addition to the influence that they exert on the students’ quality of sleep. After analyzing the obtained data, it was possible to conclude that the use of psychoactive substances interferes students' sleep quality, and that the lack of information on the subject interferes with the perception of this physiological condition.
When Bereavement Makes Enemies Human
Authors: Tamayo Ruiz Lucas
Published: March 2023

Across the world, one common feature that unites societies suffering under violent conflict is the experience of trauma. Most commonly, this trauma is understood as a paralyzing force that inhibits its victims of thinking clearly and rationally, creating the need for others, mostly political elites representing these constituencies, to speak out in their place. By appropriating their constituencies’ trauma, then, political elites are enabled to instrumentalize it to legitimize their political goals, such as the perpetuation of the violent conflict itself. In this paper, however, I argue that trauma can also be a powerful source of agency for the traumatized, with the potential to transform them into agents with the capacity to create frameworks for peace. In examining the case of the Parents Circle/Families Forum (PC/FF), I show how the experience of trauma through the conflict enables the victims of trauma to understand the irrationality of the armed conflict, countering the political elite’s narrative and prompting them to promote a peaceful solution to the war. Furthermore, their efforts can be a powerful source of reconciliation by engaging across conflict lines, thus promoting both sympathy for and empathy with the supposed enemy.
