Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the 140th anniversary of the birth of M. P. Prokopiev, Udmurt poet, publicist and public figure. The paper gives a brief biographical note, presents systematized material concerning his literary work. It is noted that in Udmurt poetry the foundations of political lyrics are connected with the name of M. P. Prokopyev. In his early life he wrote poems based on religious themes, imitated Russian classics and turned to translations of their works. It is suggested that his conversion to the Orthodox tradition was formed under the influence of Christian values transmitted during his studies at the Karlygan Central Votsk School and Kazan Inorodic Teachers’ Seminary. It is noted that M. P. Prokopyev was among the first Udmurt authors who turned in their poetic practice to the development of biblical themes, using the technique of approximate similarity to the quoted place from the Holy Scripture.

DECENTRALIZED WASTEWATER TREATMENT - A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR PROTECTING WATER RESOURCES FROM POLLUTION
Authors: Milićević Dragan , Milićević Marija , Trajković Rastislav
Published: June 2024

In locations with low population density or constraints in technology, resources, and personnel, the use of centralized wastewater treatment systems is not be justified. In such areas, decentralized wastewater treatment systems offer several advantages overcentralized systems. In these systems, the treatment and disposal of effluent is close to the source of waste water production, which reduces investments in a long sewage network and enables the application of other methods of wastewater transport, such as pressure sewerage and vacuum sewerage. A significant advantage of decentralized systems is their ability to be installed quickly, while also enabling local water reuse and implementation of the principles of circular economy, thereby enhancing productivity. In Serbia, according to the 2011 census, there are 449 settlements with more than 2,000 equivalent inhabitants whose wastewater should undergo at least secondary biological treatment. Given that approximately 80% of these settlements have populations ranging from 2,000 to 10,000, the implementation of decentralized wastewater treatment systems becomes imperative for sustainable water protection in Serbia. This paper provides a brief overview of decentralized wastewater treatment systems and, using the example of the municipality of Pirot, highlights the advantages and significance of implementing decentralized treatment to ensure a safe, reliable, economically justified, and ecologically sound solution for protecting water resources from pollution.

Authors: Milošević Vuk , Marchwiński Janusz , Lucchi Elena
Published: June 2024

The possibilities for the integration of tensioned membrane structures and photovoltaics have been researched intensively in the past decade. This integration has huge potential and is intended to bring benefits to both of these individual systems. This paper presents a preliminary communication of the research that is intended to facilitate the PV/membrane integration. Upon reviewing the current body of knowledge in the field, it is concluded that the mechanical properties of PV are known, some integration already occurred, both of the systems are still being perfected, however, it is not clear what properties a membrane structure needs to have in order to be suitable for the PV integration. Therefore, the goal of this research is to find out the relation between some of the structural parameters and the strains of the membrane, which are already determined as critical for the photovoltaics efficiency. The methodology of the research is laid out in this paper. A numerical simulation will be conducted in order to achieve membrane strains lower than the critical. For this, a set of variable parameters are selected and altered. The results should help the designers in choosing the values of the structural parameters, with the goal of designing tensioned membrane structures suitable for the integrations with photovoltaics.

Authors: Marković Nemanja , Velimirović Nikola , Stojković Nenad
Published: June 2024

Design of structures in medium or extremely sloped terrains is a demanding and challenging engineering task. Depending on the depth of foundations of the future buildings, different methods of securing foundation pit sides are used. Extremely high vertical excavations cannot utilize the standard methods of securing ground stability (use of “L” segments) so somewhat more complicated and demanding solutions must be found. This paper shows the method of temporary securing of the vertical excavation during the building construction, using the prestressed geotechnical anchors in combination with the RC frame, on the example of the Apartment complex in Montenegro.

Authors: Pada Judee Rose
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to determine the extent of parental involvement in the development of reading proficiency among Grade 7 students. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study employed systematic sampling to identify 280 parents of Grade 7 students from 11 secondary public schools in the Sibulan 1 and 2 Districts, Division of Negros Oriental. Data collection was facilitated through the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil IRI) Assessment Tool and a validated questionnaire. Statistical analyses included percent, weighted mean, mean, and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that parental involvement in parenting was "high," while involvement in communicating, volunteering, learning at home, and decision-making was "somewhat high." The results showed that students' word reading scores were at the "instructional" level, whereas their comprehension scores were at the "frustration" level. Additionally, the study identified parenting as the only significant predictor of students' word reading and comprehension scores. Furthermore, student characteristics such as sex, age, and school location significantly predicted word reading scores, with female, younger, and urban-based students performing better. These findings underscore the critical role of parental involvement, particularly in parenting, in enhancing students' reading proficiency. The study suggests that targeted interventions to increase parental engagement in various forms could potentially improve reading outcomes for Grade 7 students.
Resonant Electro-Mechanical Coupling : A Possible Renewable Energy Source
Authors: L Gordon Mark
Published: June 2024

This paper looks at a simple Electro-Mechanical System that is tuned to resonate with both mechanical and electrical resonance. The intention is to couple the system resonance such that the amplitude of the output voltage is increased. The basic setup consists of a forced Mass-Spring System consisting of a speaker driving a mass attached to a tension-spring. The mass is a Neodymium cylindrical magnet. The vertically driven system couples to a magnet coil which sits over the magnet. Thus, by induction a voltage is generated within the coil. The coil is connected in series with a set of electrolytic capacitors. The resulting Resistor-Capacitor-Inductor (RCL) circuit is so designed as to resonate. The idea behind this coupling is to increase the output voltage of the circuit, thereby creating a voltage supply that could be boosted via transformer action, if necessary. Noting that the resulting circuit provides a source of single-phase electricity, such a setup could be used to charge small electronic devices like cellphones and mobile earphone sets. Mechanical resonance is indicated by the erratic vibration of the speaker, spring and magnet system. Knowing the magnet mass and measured resonant frequency the approximate spring constant can be calculated. The resonant frequency is then used as the driving frequency for the electrical circuit consisting of the RCL components. Noting the electric circuit resonance frequency, the approximate capacitance needed can be calculated using the driving frequency and the inductance of the said magnet coil. Using the circuit capacitance and appropriate circuit resistance, the maximised quality factor is sought, therefore the objective of the electric circuit design is to maximise the output voltage. The power generated by the device was found to be less than ~1 W. This system can be optimized to deliver maximum power output at the required resonant frequency, by greatly increasing the coil turns, using closer tolerances between the moving magnet and the wound coil and/or using materials that would ensure added magnetic coupling. Such a system can be used as a possible source of renewable energy especially on reciprocating engines, where exciting forces are available.

As funções de promover a ação pública e a de julgar são diversas. Cabendo ao Ministério Público a exclusiva promoção da ação penal pública nos termos do artigo 129, I, da Constituição Federal, e mencionando o artigo 89 da Lei n° 9.099/95 que o Ministério Público, ao oferecer denúncia, poderá propor suspensão do processo, é certo que a interpretação mais consentânea é de que se trata de faculdade do órgão da Justiça Pública. Assim, não pode o Juiz imiscuir-se, indevidamente na ação em curso para, passando sobre a manifestação ministerial, conceder a suspensão do processo. Caso se pretendesse que tal benefício fosse direito público subjetivo, tal fato viria descrito no texto legal e não seria na palavra poderá dirigida ao Órgão Ministerial. Também o texto legal não mencionou que o juiz poderia agir ex officio para concessão deste benefício. Desse modo, o que a lei não distinguiu, não cabe ao intérprete fazê-lo.

A adicção é caracterizada como uso compulsivo da droga e é analisada neste artigo, sob o prisma do condicionamento clássico. Tolerância e desejo compulsivo pela droga, "craving" não são somente fenômenos neurobiológicos, mas também respostas condicionadas (CRs), resultantes de reações antecipatórias do organismo, eliciadas por sinais do contexto associados, previamente, ao efeito da cocaína. Este artigo pontua que tolerância e "craving" são respostas, pelo menos em parte, extrafannacológicas. Também, o contexto não é mera reprodução de propriedades físicas, mas envolve atribuição de sentidos no processo da adicção .. Assim, a compreensão dos processos psicológicos em humanos pode ter relevância clínica, vez que pode apontar para diferenças individuais de vulnerabilidade da adicção à cocaína.

This study aimed to assess the food safety of cabbages grown from Mantalongon, Dalaguete, Cebu. Cabbage samples acquired from three different farms in Mantalongon were tested for the presence of Salmonella spp. (and other potentially pathogenic bacteria) and pesticide (cypermethrin) residues. To detect the presence of Salmonella spp., pre-enrichment and enrichment methods were done. For the analysis of cypermethrin residue, samples were subjected to gas chromatography. No putative Salmonella spp. colonies (with a black center) were isolated However, other potentially pathogenic bacteria suspected of Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp., or Shigella sp. were isolated Cypermethrin concentrations (0.006-0.054 mg kg-1) were within the maximum residue limit. Knowing that some vegetables are eaten raw or slightly cooked, consumers are at risk of ingesting residual amounts of pesticides and are prone to bacterial infection. Hence, the food safety of fresh vegetables should be monitored from local farms to markets.

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is the sole FDA-approved serum biomarker for early detection, progression, and treatment response of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, pancreatic cancer).  It is more specific than other serum biomarkers for PDAC. Understanding the clinical relevance of genetic variants and other conditions on CA 19-9 expression is thus critical for proper interpretation. This review covers PDAC risk assessment, screening, early diagnosis and treatment monitoring with a focus on CA 19-9 and genetic factors that influence serum levels with or without PDAC.

Published: June 2024

Accessing clean and pure water is a crisis for women and families all over the world. Without the proper resources to receive water can lead to the fatality of women and their families. This paper explores water scarcity and household coping mechanisms to water scarcity with special reference to women households in Chidothe village. It identifies the sources of water in Chidothe village, understands the challenges faced by women in fetching water and explores household coping mechanisms to water scarcity with the purpose of raising awareness to the community’s situation. Although the water supply system was expanded in 2001, many areas including Chidothe village are still experiencing water problems. In the past years’ researchers and policy makers have focused on improving the performance of water utility infrastructure in order to eliminate this threat. However, little efforts have been made to understand social issues to water shortage and how people respond to them. Data gathering methods were individual interviews and focus group discussions. All interviews were audio recorded. The data was processed manually and analyzed thematically. The results were analyzed through insights and arguments from Feminist Political Ecology (FPE). The study reveals that women and girls in Chidothe Village have a greater responsibility to fetch water, are facing challenges to access portable water such as lack of money to connect to tap water, the absence of water kiosks in the village further worsens the problem and circumstances force them to draw water from unsafe sources, hence, exposing themselves to diseases. The results imply that there is an urgent need to address water supply systems in order to prevent people from water borne diseases. The study concludes that there is need to incorporate women in decision making to articulate their concerns and interests at local level and also water aid stakeholders should use gender sensitive approaches when planning, designing and implementing water projects.

Authors: Joseph Esther Ojone
Published: June 2024

This study examines the impact of Sunday school and Madrasah to religious and moral education in Igalaland. In the study of religious and moral education, the focus has been on Christian and Islamic religious education obtained from the formal school as it is embedded in the Nigerian educational curriculum, much attention has not been given to religious and moral education outside the formal school context hence, the aim of this study is to provide the relevance of Sunday school and Madrasah to religious and moral education in Igalaland. The methodologies applied in this study are multi-dimensional: socio religious and descriptive approaches. This is achieved through structured interview, focus group discussion, and participant’s observation and existing literatures. Findings from this research show that people learn about the communal, social, intellectual, ecclesial and moral dimensions of their faith in their various places of worship. This study recommends efficient methods through which Sunday schools and Madaris can be effectively utilised to bring about moral reforms in Igalaland. The study concludes that since education can be described as a system of imparting ideals and cultural practices of the society to the next generation in an unending process, the young need to be initiated into their faith according to the various stages in Sunday school and Madrasah.
Moral Implication of Big Brother Naija (BBN) on Nigeria Youths
Authors: Jibrin Amos Ochimana
Published: June 2024

The phenomenon of Big Brother Nigeria (BBN) has garnered significant attention due to its moral implications on Nigerian youth. This paper delves into the ethical ramifications of BBN on the younger generation of Nigeria, exploring how the show’s content influences their behavior, values, and perceptions and other factors that are responsible for moral decline among Nigerian Youths. The rise of reality television programs, such as BBN, has perpetuated a culture of voyeurism and sensationalism, which raises concerns regarding the impact on the moral fabric of Nigerian society. BBN exhibits a wide range of behaviors, including deceit, manipulation, and public humiliation, which can normalize and desensitize the youth to these negative actions. One of the primary moral implications of BBN on Nigerian youth is the erosion of traditional values and ethics. This study adopts historical, descriptive and sociological approaches. It was revealed that the show often emphasizes materialism, instant gratification, and superficiality, promoting a value system that prioritizes fame, wealth, and self-interest.  On the positive side, BBN also exposes the Nigerian youth to diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. It offers a platform for social issues to be discussed, raising awareness and encouraging critical thinking. It concludes that, its content and presentation have the potential to shape the behavior, values, and perceptions of the younger generation. The study recommends that the citizens and government should rise to take serious measure against the activities of Big Brother Naija or better still to set laws that will check and regulate their activities.

This research aimed to understand the US’s strategic interests, political goals, and geopolitical considerations in Afghanistan post-US military occupation, highlighting its strategic value for the US, given its connection to Central Asia, South Asia, China, and Russia, and its importance to US. This study used qualitative research to conduct a content analysis of the US’s strategic interests and geopolitical considerations in Afghanistan post-withdrawal, using the theories of realism offensive and defensive to determine the value of Afghanistan for the US in the region, thereby revealing US’s clear strategic interests. Afghanistan helped as a US strategic base, reducing China, India and Russia’s influence in the region, promoting its weapons industry, energy resource, indirect engagement and diplomatic initiatives, counter-terrorism, and non-proliferation and regional stability. The US also established a military presence and stable government in Afghanistan, focusing on US interests. Afghanistan has become a battleground for great powers like US, India, China, and Russia, who has used its strategic location for their own interests. The US has worked for its interests in Afghanistan for 20 years, and its policy changes and goals remain safe after withdrawal. However, their interests remain constant. The Afghan government and future generations must recognize Afghanistan’s significance for US strategic interests and geopolitical considerations. US’s priorities and policies change in the region, and when regional and great powers pose challenges, US’s presence in Afghanistan becomes possible.
Legal problems of adoptive families in China
Authors: Van Lu
Published: June 2024

In the People's Republic of China, as in many other countries of the world, modern government policy in the field of family relations is focused on mobilizing the entire society to support families in raising children and supporting children left without parental care, including through placing children in foster care families. However, the legislation in the area of placement of children left without parental care is not perfect and requires a subjective assessment in terms of its compliance with the interests of children’s rights. This form of placement for children without parental care, like a foster family, has made in Chinese legislation relatively recently and is important for protecting the rights and interests of children without parental care. At the same time, the existing legislative rules ensuring the placement of children left without parental care in foster families are not perfect. Thus, the legal problems of placing children without parental care in foster families, related both to the restrictive framework that is imposed on the children themselves who are subject to placement in foster families, and the restrictive framework that is established for the foster families themselves (the age limit of parents, the number of children who can be raised in one foster family) deserve special attention. The article focuses on the legal problems of placing children without parental care in foster families. An analysis of existing problems has shown that there is an urgent need to modernize legislative norms related to placement in foster families in order to ensure the best and comprehensive interests of children, rather than maintaining the approach according to which the family becomes part of the bureaucratic and traditional framework, making it the last link in the implementation of state politicians.
