The enteric nervous system is the largest and most complex division of the peripheral nervous system. Located in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract, it is a regulatory and coordination unit of the nervous system. Neurochemical, pharmacological, and functional studies describe three main classes of neurons in the enteric nervous system– primary afferent, interneurons and motor neurons. These are grouped in ganglia, which are connected and form plexuses. Acetylcholine is a major neurotransmitter that plays a pivotal role in the enteric nervous system and several non-neuronal structures. Internal cholinergic neurons and vagus terminals in the enteric nervous system use acetylcholine as the main excitatory neurotransmitter, regulating motility and mucosal function in the digestive system. The enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) that catalyzes the synthesis of acetylcholine represents the most specific cholinergic marker. Recent markers used to visualize cholinergic structures are the splicing variants of ChAT mRNA that are transcribed from the ChAT gene. Different alternatively spliced ChAT mRNA variants are transcribed in many animal species, including humans. In the mouse, seven variants in the 5’-noncoding region and two variants that differ in their coding region are described. Morphological, genetic and molecular analysis of ChAT and its splicing variants, as the most reliable and frequently used marker for cholinergic structures, would contribute to a better understanding of the physiological and pathological states of cholinergic neurons in the enteric nervous system.
Representation of Women in Game of Thrones: Sensational or Realist
Authors: Shubham Pandey
Published: November 2022

This paper intends to work on the portrayal of women in the television adaptation of George R. Martin’s epic fantasy novel, A Song of Ice and Fire. It is a medieval drama loosely based on the War of the Roses. The show has a huge fan base that includes people from all age groups, cultures, and nations. But at the same time, it has been strongly criticized for its explicit sexual violence, misogyny, and objectification of women. Elaina Docterman of TIME magazine wrote that the show has a “woman problem” and there are some hard-to-watch scenes of rape and sexual torture of women. Naked women have been objectified and used as props and critics have lashed out against the gratuitous nudity on the show, dismissing it as a lure to keep viewers hooked by providing exposition against the backdrop of sex and nudity.
Representation of Deaths due to Misrule during the Famine of 1974 in Neamat Imam’s The Black Coat
Authors: Rukunuddin Shaikh
Published: November 2022

Death is the irreversible cessation of organismic functioning and human death is the irreversible loss of personhood. Death occurs at different situations and moments and has important significance in various circumstances. The phenomenon of death is present from the beginning of the world and it has been represented differently in literature and culture. If we relate death only in relation to physical loss, the significance of death is narrowed to a specific space. But death has a wider spectrum than that of physical loss. Though most deaths are forgotten, some incidents of deaths are important because of various social, philosophical and historical circumstances. An important phenomenon relating to death is that sometimes mass deaths are caused by state administered misrule. As for example during famine the failure of government to take necessary steps results in loss of numerous lives. Such is the case with millions of deaths during the 1974 famine in Bangladesh under the regime of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Faulty economic policies, mismanagement, black market, corruption and power hunger of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman made havoc on the poverty-stricken people who were forced to die of starvation. Almost 1.5 million people died, but Mujibur Rahman acknowledged only 27000 deaths from starvation. Not only that, those who raised their voices against the misrule of the government are put to death by the state administered mechanism. This terrible situation of Bangladesh during the famine of 1974 is nicely portrayed in Neamat Imam’s famous novel The Black Coat. In this novel Imam very deftly upholds the autocratic rule of Sheikh Mujib which caused so many deaths from starvation. The violent death of Nur Hussain by Khaleque Biswas represents not only the death of an individual but also the violent suppression of conscious voice that has the guts to hold the government responsible for the misery of the people of Bangladesh. The present research article presents the pathetic condition of the people of Bangladesh during the famine of 1974 which made havoc on their lives due to the tyrannical government of that time.
¿ES LA EDUCACIÓN O LA SITUACIÓN ECONÓMICA LA PRINCIPAL DETERMINANTE SOCIAL DE LA MORTALIDAD INFANTIL EN BOLIVIA?
Authors: Coa Clemente Ramiro
Published: November 2022

El objetivo de este estudio es probar estadísticamente si la educación de las madres es una determinante social más importante que la situación económica de los hogares para reducir la mortalidad infantil. Con información de la encuesta nacional de demografía y salud realizada en 2008 y usando el modelo de riesgos proporcionales de Cox, se concluye que la educación materna es una determinante social más importante que la situación económica de los hogares para explicar las diferencias en el riesgo de mortalidad durante el primer año de vida. Como indicador de la situación económica de los hogares se usó el índice de riqueza. Estos resultados son coherentes con los obtenidos en otros estudios y respaldan la afirmación de que la educación es la clave para reducir la mortalidad infantil.
Fragmentos de uma narrativa em curso sobre o profissional de apoio pedagógico na Educação Especial
Authors: Nunes Isabel Matos , Fernandes Marcia Alessandra Souza
Published: November 2022

RESUMO  
Apresenta reflexões sobre como está estruturado o serviço de apoio pedagógico ao estudante público-alvo da educação especial, no que tange à regulamentação do cargo e da função desse profissional que atua na sala de aula comum, com o professor regente. Para tanto, questiona sobre aspectos relacionados a nomenclatura, criação do cargo e especificação da função desse profissional no quadro de vagas do serviço público. Parte da rede municipal de educação de São Mateus, Espírito Santo, e utiliza dados da pesquisa qualitativa realizada por Autor 2 (2016) em que analisou a definição de diretrizes para a oferta da Educação Especial no Sistema e a outra que investigou as tensões da gestão municipal na garantia da escolarização de alunos com deficiência múltipla (AUTOR 1, 2016), destacando trechos de entrevistas e números sobre matrícula de estudantes e profissionais da modalidade. As reflexões elaboradas consideram que os governos, ao deixarem de instituir políticas de Estado (OLIVEIRA, 2011), além de normalizar o desvio de função, de impossibilitar o vínculo permanente do profissional com o fazer pedagógico, fere o direito do estudante e, no caso específico da Educação Especial, reforça e perpetua o estigma outsider (ELIAS; SCOTSON, 2000) da modalidade.

Published: November 2022

RESUMO

O presente artigo tem por objetivo evidenciar, a partir de narrativas de estudantes com deficiência, os desafios e barreiras enfrentadas no processo inclusão no ensino superior, tendo em vista, a fragilidade da implementação das políticas públicas que contemplem seu ingresso, permanência, aprendizagem e sucesso acadêmico.  Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, ancorada na metodologia de História de Vida. Para tal utilizou-se de entrevistas abertas, envolvendo estudantes com deficiência de uma universidade pública, que vivenciam suas experiências acadêmicas em diferentes municípios no estado do Amazonas. A partir das narrativas emergiram categorias temáticas que retratam a trajetória educacional para ingresso no ensino superior e questões envolvendo acessibilidade, inclusive a mobilidade e deslocamento atrelados à dinâmica das enchentes e vazantes dos rios, que constituem as estradas na Amazônia. Diante das narrativas dos próprios estudantes, pode-se evidenciar as barreiras enfrentadas durante o processo de escolarização, até o ingresso na universidade. Ficou evidente nos dados produzidos a necessidade de transformações na cultura organizacional das instituições educacionais. Pois, apesar do arsenal de documentos orientadores e legais, a luta pela implementação do direito a uma educação inclusiva é uma realidade que acompanha o percurso formativo dos estudantes com deficiência, também no ensino superior com deficiência.
PROTECTION SOCIALE DES PERSONNES VIVANT AVEC HANDICAP MOTEUR EN REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO : CAS DE LA VILLE DE KISANGANI DE 2015 A 2020
Authors: MBIDI Didier OMADJELA , OTEMIKONGO David ANGALAWE
Published: November 2022

Dans l’humanité entière, plus d’un milliard de personnes vivent avec un handicap sous une forme ou une autre et près de deux cent millions d’entre elles ont de très grandes difficultés fonctionnelles. Les Nations Unies note que, selon les estimations, 80 % des personnes handicapées vivent dans les pays en développement et souligne qu’il faut associer les personnes handicapées à tous les aspects du développement.

Selon la déclaration universelle des Droits de l'Homme, « tous les êtres humains naissent libres et égaux, en dignité et en droit ». Pourtant, dans de nombreuses sociétés des pays en développement et africains en particulier, nombreux sont les facteurs environnementaux à l'image des préjugés discriminatoires et l'absence de légalisation adaptée qui alourdissent et rendent insupportables les difficultés (insertion sociale, professionnelle et économique) rencontrées par les personnes handicapées. L’article 12 de la Constitution du 18 février 2006 de la République Démocratique du Congo telle que modifiée en 2011 jusqu’à ce jour dispose que tous les congolais sont égaux devant la loi et ont droit à une égale protection des lois qui est fondée sur les droits humains, elle véhicule selon l’étalon du droit.

Aussi, les personnes handicapées en général et celles qui souffrent de handicap moteur en particulier, sont-elles victimes d'une marginalisation et discrimination fondée quelques fois sur des préjugés et des croyances religieuses de la part des membres des sociétés que celles-ci vivent. Le plus sérieux problème que rencontre ces personnes en République Démocratique du Congo, particulièrement dans la ville de Kisangani se résume à la non assistance en termes de la protection sociale (aide sociale et action sociale d’un coté, et un vide juridique pouvant protéger cette catégorie des personnes vivant avec handicap dans tous les domaines de la vie et l’inapplication textes juridiques internationaux.

L’objectif mené par la présente réflexion est promouvoir d’un coté la protection sociale des personnes en situation de handicap moteur et d’analyser les mécanismes potentiels de la pleine jouissance des droits humains
Human Rights of Men in the World of Globalization-An Essence of Time: A Critical Appraisal
Authors: Dr. Ramesh kumar  , Rohit Kumar Verma
Published: November 2022

The life, liberty, and security of men cannot be given into the hands of women as a puppet in the Rule of Law under the conception of human rights, bearing in mind the “abuses of the law, preconceived ideology, predefined consequences and others against men, subjecting to exceptions.”  Men have also the universal, inherent inalienable, and natural human right to life with dignity and security. In today’s changing globalized scenario, the human rights of men have become the need of the hour and essence of time by reason of arbitrary deprivation and denial of human rights. This research has no intention against women’s human rights and feminism in any case and circumstance.  Gender neutrality is required in today’s context for certain matters as to human rights otherwise than some exceptions and exclusions in accordance with the time, necessity, circumstances, and others in this regard This research has especially emphasized the specification of human rights of men in a global perspective. This research has emphasized the human rights of men in the world of globalization as an essence of time as available.

Authors: Solís Montoya Vania Lorena , Castillo Herrera Beverly
Published: November 2022

En Nicaragua a partir del 2007, se da la ruptura con el modelo neoliberal, que implicaba la ausencia de políticas y lineamientos enfocados en el apoyo a las MiPymes. Con la toma de posesión del Gobierno de Reconstrucción y Unidad Nacional (GRUN), la promoción de la innovación y el emprendimiento se posiciona como una estrategia fundamental a nivel de país, y la creación de las condiciones necesarias para su operativización, desde una metodología de consenso y colaboración. El presente trabajo se enfoca en el proceso de inclusión del fomento del emprendimiento como estrategia país, y, la generación de estructuras y superestructuras referidas en las teorías de Marx, North y Veblen de las instituciones. Se destaca el aporte de la Comisión Nacional de Educación, y, más específicamente el aporte desde el subsistema de la educación superior, como punto de partida de la interacción exitosa y como puente en la operativización de los planes, programas y proyectos de gobierno. Se fundamenta en una metodología cualitativa, utilizando revisión documental, y de eventos nacionales, así como entrevistas semiestructuradas a las universidades más activas en temas de emprendimiento: UNAN-Managua, UNAN-León y URACCAN. Se conlcuye como la línea de trabajo clara desde la posición gubernamental ha facilitado la agenda conjunta de trabajo en temas de innovación y emprendimiento, desde la conformación de la Comisión Nacional de Educación, instaurando una cultura de trabajo consensuado, agendas unificadas y esfuerzos vinculados. Los elementos del ecosistema bajo el liderazgo de la Secretaría de Economía Creativa y MEFCCA, han desarrollado la vinculación entre sí, traspasando el esfuerzo individual, hacia un sistema con resultados unificados. Destacando el papel de las universidades como catalizadores y dinamizadores del ecosistema, asumiendo retos más allá de la transferencia de conocimientos.

Sexualidades em cena: da (hetero)normatividade ao queer em The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Authors: Ruzene Felipe Daniel
Published: November 2022

Este texto visa apresentar a temática da sexualidade presente no filme The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) a partir da transformação experimentada pelas personagens principais, Brad e Janet. Ambos representam os padrões (hetero)normativos e monogâmicos, porém, a partir do contato com a pluralidade da micro-sociedade do castelo de Frank-N-Furter, passam por novas experiências e descobrem suas sexualidades e anseios. A escolha deste filme se deve ao fato dele subverter, veementemente, os padrões de normatividade e levar o público a se identificar com o “outro”. A dita “anormalidade” de seus personagens é abordada com muita naturalidade, ou mesmo, como algo preferível à normatividade vigente na sociedade. Produzido no contexto da contracultura, identificado entre os midnight movies, a obra é considerada, ainda hoje, como um grande símbolo dos movimentos minoritários e da comunidade LGBTQIA+.

In the present study, a novel analytical procedure development concept is utilized along with a chemometrics approach. Two sensitive UV spectrophotometric methods were developed for quantifying a new antipsychotic agent, pimavanserin tartarate, in tablets. The scanning speed and sampling interval of the UV spectrophotometric methods were the critical method variables investigated and optimized by a face-centred cubic design during the development phase. A zero-order (222 nm) and a first derivative (maxima: 256 nm and minima: 283 nm) method displayed linear response over 0.5-100 µg mL-1, with impressive validation results. Further, the procedure robustness capability index was measured by using Monte Carlo simulation. In a nutshell, the present spectrophotometry based studies reveal aptness of the novel concept for developing robust and rapid analytical methods availing regulatory flexibilities for estimating pimavanserin tartarate in tablets

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a kind of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by the chronic transmural inflammatory state of gastrointestinal tract that typically affects ileum, colon, and perineum. Although the precise etiology is unknown, the major risk aspects concerned with CD consist of several environmental factors, altered microbiota, unhealthy low fiber- high carbohydrate diet, and certain medicines like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The disease has wide distribution and inflammation may affect the different areas of the alimentary tract in diverse people. In about 80 % of patients, only small bowel involvement is typically present, affecting distal ileum resulting in ileitis. In about 50 % patients, both ileum and colon are affected resulting in ileocolitis and in approximately 20 % patients, disease is limited to colonic portion. Perianal disease affects almost one-third of patients. As per the various genetic researches in the CD patients, various genetic mutations affect the body’s immunological system that results in severe inflammatory state. The two major gene mutations which result in the pathological state of CD are autophagy-related 16-like 1 (ATG16L1) and nucleotidebinding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2/ Card15). The main techniques used for diagnosis of CD include the combination of pathological findings, endoscopic and radiographic findings demonstrating the disease features. The utmost preferred radiologic study for assessing the small bowel CD is abdominal computerized tomography (CT). The goal of current treatment strategies is to address symptomatic relief. Sequence of treatment includes induction therapy, followed by maintenance of remission. The currently used drugs that effectively can cause induction as well as maintain remission include 5-aminosalicylic acid, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) inhibitors, immunomodulators and steroids. Treatment and management should be integrated with lifestyle and dietary amendments to prevent therapeutic failure and consideration of surgical intervention.

This work represents an attempt to synthesize mesoporous silica nanoparticles and to take advantage of its surface area, pore size and pore volume for delivery of drug. In this work hesperidin, a bioflavonoid obtained from citrus fruit, was successfully loaded on silica nanoparticles by solvent immersion method. Hesperidin loaded nanoparticles were characterized for surface area, pore size, pore volume, in vitro dissolution, differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The SEM and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm result demonstrated that both blank and hesperidin-MSNs possessed spherical surface with little aggregation. Mesoporous particles had surface area of 812.232 m2 g-1. It had pore size and volume was 2.242 nm and 0.635cm3 g-1, respectively. In vitro drug dissolution study showed slow release of hesperidin; which may be due to interaction between silanol function groups. This technique seems to produce particles with larger surface area and can be used as an effective carrier for drug delivery

Objective: To understand the thoughts, feelings, and support needs of student nurses called into practice during a pandemic. Methods: A descriptive narrative method was used as part of a collaborative approach with student nurses to help them explore their thoughts and feelings about working during the pandemic and also identify resulting support needs. Results: Student nurses were excited about the opportunity to join the workforce and both develop new skills and use existing competencies. However, there was also nervousness about their readiness for practice and the financial and health implications for themselves and their families. Conclusion: Students are an important part of the nursing workforce and the pandemic provided unique opportunities to learn key competencies in an unprecedented situation. Recognising the contribution of student nurses will enhance the response to future pandemics and providing clarity for the role of the student in these situations will ensure appropriate support is in place. Consequently, plans for student nurses to join the workforce should be put into place before another pandemic develops.
A Study in the Integral of Sine and Cosine Functions
Authors:   Faculty of Informatics Engineering, Al-Sham Private University, Damascus, Syria, Jdid Maissam ,   Business Supervisor, Department of Mathematical, Faculty of Science, Damascus, Syria, Suleiman Fatima Al
Published: November 2022

Trigonometric functions are among the most widely used functions in many science fields, especially sine and cosine functions because they are essential for periodic functions that describe sound and light waves in different types and wavelengths. Therefore, researchers studied the integrals of sine and cosine functions in different forms of the integrating function. In this paper, we spotlighted several most important yet under-studied integrals that are poorly mentioned in Arabic and foreign textbooks and studies. In addition, we studied Integral of Sine and Cosine for n as a positive rational number and concluded that each of these integrals leads to functional series. When studying the convergence of these series using the D'Alembert ratio test, we found that these series are convergent over the entire set of real numbers. This convergence is highly useful when applying such integrals in different science fields.

Published: November 2022

This study investigated the teachers’ and students’ perceptions on language acquisition for young learners using Mobile App in EFL context. Many ways have been found to assist young learners in acquiring English as a Foreign Language. This study applied survey where the teachers’ perceptions were obtained from the observation, while the students’ perceptions were taken from the observation questionnaire. The respondent and participants were taken from six elementary schools in which there were twelve English teachers and 569 students of grade 4th in Indonesia. The result showed that teachers thought most students were anxious and didn’t have self-esteem and a good motivation while learning English. The teachers’ perceptions don’t always match the students’ ones or vice-versa in learning English in EFL context. It is expected that the mismatches of teachers’ and students’ perception are not greater than the match ones.
Evaluación presupuestaria a las juntas parroquiales de la provincia de Loja, para medir la eficiencia y eficacia del presupuesto del sector público.
Authors: Ortega Valeria , Moreno Yenny
Published: November 2022

La presente investigación se ejecutó considerando la fase evaluativa del presupuesto público, con el fin de medir la gestión desarrollada en las juntas parroquiales. Se aplicó índices e indicadores de gestión y ejecución presupuestaria; teniendo como base, datos de la Parroquia Quinara. Por consiguiente, se procedió a medir la eficiencia y eficacia en el manejo y ejecución de los recursos financieros, para determinar el grado de cumplimiento de las metas y objetivos alcanzados. Los principales resultados indican que la eficacia presupuestaria de la entidad está por debajo de los niveles adecuados demostrando así que no se ejecutó en un 100%. Así también, con los resultados obtenidos se pudo evidenciar que no está cumpliendo a cabalidad con las actividades programadas en el presupuesto público lo que afecta a la comunidad en los próximos periodos. De lo expuesto anteriormente se llega a la conclusión que las juntas parroquiales rurales al no presentar una adecuada proforma presupuestaria y al existir una gran variación en sus reformas estas se ven afectadas para los siguientes años. De manera que en la junta parroquial rural de Quinara el presupuesto no se encuentra ejecutado en su totalidad lo que ocasiona ineficiencia en la gestión, por lo que se necesita de manera inaplazable una mejor planificación para la eficiente gestión, para cumplimiento de los programas y proyectos del presupuesto en las parroquias.
El vínculo entre el capital social y la asociatividad productiva agropecuaria: Evidencia empírica para la provincia de Loja
Authors: Díaz-Tandazo Gonzalo
Published: November 2022

Con un análisis econométrico entre la variable participación asociativa, capital social y los factores socioeconómicos seleccionados se muestra los limitantes en la cooperación agroproductiva para la provincia de Loja. Mediante el método cualitativo con grupos focales de funcionarios del ente rector agropecuario, más entrevistas a presidentes de asociaciones agropecuarias se refuerza el modelo cuantitativo. De los resultados cuantitativos y de la investigación cualitativa se pudo deducir que los factores que limitan la asociatividad productiva agropecuaria en la provincia son la edad, ingresos, intermediarios, crédito, desconfianza, falta de cooperación y no creer en la honestidad de los demás. En este sentido se puede observar el vínculo existente entre el capital social y la asociatividad relacionado con la debilidad agroproductiva en la provincia de Loja,  lo que supone no compartir objetivos comunes especialmente en lo relativo a la producción, comercialización o gestión de recursos. La falta de compromiso existente entre los miembros de las asociaciones agropecuarias, que no quiere asumir responsabilidades sobre la estructura organizativa o de negociación con los clientes y escases de aportes económicos o inasistencia a las reuniones ha llevado a que los agricultores no participen en las organizaciones. En este escenario para la intervención pública se sugiere la generación de programas crediticios con bajo interés, ofertas de acceso a mercados, diseño de programas de formación, reformas administrativas eficientes, mayores incentivos tributarios, circuitos cortos de comercialización y sobre todo el impulso de una nueva generación de productores con conocimientos administrativos y tecnológicos.
Fire management in Ethiopia: past, present and future
Authors: Livingstone John , Kassa Habtemariam , Yimam Kebede , Hagazi Niguse , Shibeshi Amsale , Zewdie Solomon
Published: November 2022

Human pressure and intensified drought have seen Ethiopia recurrently affected by severe wildfire emergencies since 2019. This article reviews the history, causes and impacts of wildfires in Ethiopia, identifies gaps, and discusses plans for improving fire management using an integrated approach at national, subnational and community levels. Not having a national wildfire management strategy undermines Ethiopia’s capacity for forecasting, preventing and suppressing wildfire, and fire management must be an integral part of land-use management policies and practices. These must consider cultural values, socioeconomic realities and ecological differences where fires occur, including rangelands, dry forests and woodlands, and requires multi-level governance and devolution of responsibility and increased support for local decision-making.
Digitalisation – ‘The Invisible Hand’ of Digital economy
Authors:   The Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, Dumitra Edi-Cristian , Gândea Iulia Maria ,   The Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania
Published: November 2022

This paper explores the way in which digitalisation might be considered the metaphor of ‘The Invisible Hand’ for the current economic environment, in which the paradigm of economics has been shifted towards a Digital economy and the transition has been accelerated by the crisis determined from the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the mainstream of Classical economics has been replaced by digital activities based on the development of digital technologies, both as goods and services, production processes, and infrastructure. As a fast solution for recovering after the difficult period, many businesses have implemented digital technologies in their business models and strategies. Hence, the present paper collects information available from the scientific literature, creating a brief overview of digitalisation, the Digital economy, and the role of digitalisation in developing the Digital economy. Moreover, the metaphor is explained as digitalisation represents the driver for business development, achieving sustainable business strategies, implementing innovative business models for higher revenues, and reshaping the economic environment. The methodology used by the authors is the review of scientific literature relevant to the research, approaching the main ideas exposed, and exploring them for conclusions and further discussions.
"The behavior of the consumer of financial services in the post-pandemic period "
Authors:   The Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, Enăchescu Vladimir-Aurelian
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the global economy, and the financial services sector has been no exception. The way in which consumers interact with financial institutions and products has changed significantly in the past year, and these changes are likely to continue in the post-pandemic period. In particular, the rise of digital banking and payments has accelerated dramatically, as has the move towards contactless transactions. At the same time, concerns about data security and fraud have increased, as criminals have sought to take advantage of the upheaval caused by the pandemic. As a result, the behaviour of the consumer of financial services is likely to change significantly in the post-pandemic period. Financial institutions must be prepared to adapt their products and services to meet the needs of their customers in this new environment. Research shows that the behaviour of the consumer of financial services has changed in the post-pandemic period. The increase in awareness of the importance of financial planning and saving has led to a change in spending habits. Consumers are now more likely to research comparison shop and make decisions based on value, rather than price. They are also more likely to use online resources to research and compare products and services. These changes in behaviour are likely to continue in the post-pandemic period, as consumers become more mindful of their finances.

The present paper analyses the impact of financial intermediation, and implications to economic growth. The main object of the paper is to prove empirically the existence of a positive association between insurance market indicators and economic development. The novelty of our study is related to the use of variables from the insurance sector, which is considered, along with the banking sector (and capital markets), as a major player involved in financial intermediation. The variables of interest used in our sample refer to the macroeconomic levels in the Member States of the European Union, and the time span being 2007-2019. For econometric analysis, we chose to use a dynamic panel data model using the generalized method of moments. Thus, we investigate how the variation of economic growth measured by the level of GDP per capita is influenced by the first lag of it, together with the insurance sector, the banking sector and the government expenditures. The variables used in our study are insurance penetration rates, measured as a percentage of gross written premiums and GDP, inflation, private consumption, balance of payments, government spending, and level of private credit (calculated as a percentage of GDP).

At the level of the European Union, pensions from redistributive public systems are the main source of income for the elderly. A quarter of the European Union's population is made up of retirees, and their numbers have been steadily rising in recent years. In the last decade, in Romania, the issue of sustainability of the public pension system has become more and more acute and solutions have been sought for the transfer of responsibility for the payment of pensions from the state to the individual through privately administered pensions. In the field of social policy, the constant concern has been to ensure a decent income for the elderly. The paper aims to identify the financial sustainability of private pension systems, the investment strategies used by these funds, the structure of investment portfolios, the profitability achieved by fund managers. The research method used will be statistical-mathematical. The research data are processed based on the reports and data of the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF), the Private Pension System Supervisory Commission (CSSPP), the Romanian Association of Private Administrative Pensions (APAPR), the National Institute of Statistics (INS) and those from EUROSTAT. The results of this research consist in highlighting the problems of the current private pension management system and the economic developments of the Romanian economy in the coming decades
"Economic development and environmental degradation: A panel ARDL/PMG model for EU-27 countries "
Authors:   The Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, Jianu Ionuț
Published: November 2022

This research aims to examine the relationship between economic development and environmental degradation in European Union over the period 2000-2019 using a Panel ARDL/PMG model. In this respect, I have used GDP per capita expressed in PPS to catch the economic development and greenhouse gas emission per capita as a proxy for environmental degradation. The study confirms a positive impact of greenhouse gas emissions (per capita) on GDP (per capita) on short-run, but also a negative effect on long-run - the long-run effect being present in 24 EU Member States.

Open government data (OGD) contributes to increasing the quality of public services provided by local public administration to citizens. These data create the necessary framework to be able to determine the opportunity of certain public policies or decisions for the life of the local community. The OGD is still being adopted in public sector organizations. Considering that the digitalization of the public services of a city is a topic that occupies an important place on the public agenda, this article presents a review of the literature, a proposed research model and a case study from the city of Iași, Romania. The Local Public Transport Company makes open data available to all interested parties and allows the development of solutions that support urban mobility and the quality of life of citizens.
Utilizing Social Constructivism to Cultivate Teacher Educators’ and Trainees’ Digital Competence: Energizing Leaner-Cantered Approach
Authors:   Victoria University, FST, Kakeeto David
Published: November 2022

This article examines the perspective of teacher educators and teacher trainees in an academic teacher education program regarding the application of social constructivist approach in cultivating ICT integration in teacher training, in order to have teachers fit for the 21st Century Education. This article provides an overview of social constructivism and its implications for ICT integration in classroom practices. Objectives of the study were to establish how social processes cultivate teacher educators’ and trainees’ technology knowledge and also to establish how social processes cultivate teacher educators’ and trainees’ technology skills. Participants were teacher trainers and trainees from School of Education, Makerere University and data were collected using focus group discussions. Data were analysed qualitatively by transcription. It was found out that; social interactions indeed cultivate a number of technology knowledge, but participants exhibited low levels of judgment and negotiation, low levels of data management, problem solving and critical thinking skills. It was concluded that; content analysis through team work is a basic technique for developing teacher educators’ and trainees’ technology knowledge and also, the digital skills require continuous active practice and they cannot be attained in isolation of technology knowledge.
5. századi kerámia a Visegrád-Gizellamajorban feltárt kiserőd déli épületszárnyából
Authors: Ottományi Katalin
Published: November 2022

A Visegrád-Gizellamajorban feltárt késő római kiserőd legfelső rétegében megfigyelhető átépítések és a pusztulási omladékból előkerült új típusú leletanyag már az 5. század első feléhez köthető. A déli épületszárnyon belül két helyiségben maradtak meg ilyen késői rétegek. A 4–5. század fordulójától a hagyományos római kerámiaformákon új díszítések jelennek meg, illetve új edényformák tűnnek fel. A rontott töredékek felvetik a helyi kerámiagyártás kérdését, ugyanakkor nagyon sok hasonlóság mutatható ki a Dunakanyar többi, ugyanilyen korú lelőhelyével, műhelyével, sőt a Duna túlsó partján élő szvébek, szarmaták kerámiájával is.

Szőlőmaradványok egy avar fegyveres férfi sírjából Dunaszentgyörgy-Kaszás-Tanya lelőhelyről
Authors: Kenéz Árpád , Pető Ákos
Published: November 2022

Az M6-os autópálya építése során Dunaszentgyörgy-Kaszás-tanya lelőhelyen egy avar kori temető került feltárására, melyek nagy része a közép és késő avar korra keltezhető temetkezés. Az egyik férfi gazdag mellékletű sírjából, a medence tájékáról szőlőmagok kerültek napvilágra. Az avarok növénytermesztéséről nagyon keveset tudunk, éppen ezért az elmélyültebb, magasabb termesztéstechnológiai fejlettséget igénylő szőlő maradványainak előkerülése nagy jelentőséggel bír a hazai archaeobotanikai kutatás számára. A feltárt magokat részletes és precíz archeometriai (morfometriai) vizsgálatoknak vetettük alá a növénytani maradványok minél pontosabb meghatározása végett. A szőlőmaradványok szerencsés előkerülése számos információt közvetít az egykori temetkezési- és kulturális szokásokkal kapcsolatban.

Az Alsónyéken és Dunaföldváron feltárt régészeti lelőhelyekről összesen 234 avar kori sírból kerültek elő emberi maradványok. A szériákban a történeti népességek körében általában gyakori, életmódra is utaló elváltozások közül több is előfordult. Három esetben a morfológiai elemzés alapján csonttuberkulózisos fertőzést feltételeztünk. Az alsónyéki anyagban a koponyák rossz megtartása miatt taxonómiai elemzést nem lehetett végezni. A dunaföldvári avar kori népességben kimutatott, az europidmongolid földrajzi változathoz sorolt egyéneknek köszönhetően a vizsgált népesség, taxonómiai összetételét tekintve, a térség más hasonló korú populációitól jelentősen eltér.

Egy Ugrin nevű személy a 11. században Novgorodban
Authors: Gyóni Gábor
Published: November 2022

A novgorodi Szent Szófia székesegyház korai feliratai között egy Ugrin nevű személy nevével találkozhatunk. Noha e személy közelebbi kiléte ismeretlen (minden bizonnyal egy magyarról van szó), ennek kapcsán röviden áttekintésre kerül a Rusz, és különösen Novgorod magyarokra és az Urál vidékére vonatkozó „táj- és népszemlélete”, óhatatlanul is visszakanyarodva a mégiscsak létező Jugria-problémához.
