Authors: Drozdovska Olesia
Published: September 2024

The modern Russian-Ukrainian war and the propagandists of the aggressor country trying to change the perception of Ukraine as a sovereign state and subject of international relations raise the question of a comprehensive portrayal of our country's historical past. In this context, it is important to study the Ukrainian press as a transmitter of national ideology, a resource for preserving the memory of victories and defeats in the struggle for independence. The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the reflection in the newspaper «Holos z Nad Buhа» («The voice from over the Bug») of the realities of life in Eastern Galicia, in particular the Sokal region, during the Polish-Ukrainian war of 1918-1919. The author completed the following goals: analysed the content of «Holos z Nad Buhа» («The voice from over the Bug»); discovered the peculiarities of reflecting the events of that time in the newspaper; identified the main problem of publications and described the topics. Research methodology: historiographical, descriptive, comparative and systematic methods, as well as methods of qualitative content analysis, textual analysis and synthesis were used. Scientific novelty: the peculiarities of the coverage of the life of Sokal region and Eastern Galicia in general in December 1918 – May 1919 in the newspaper «Holos z Nad Buhа» («The voice from over the Bug») are determined; the main problematic directions of publications are defined and characterised. Conclusions. The newspaper «Holos z Nad Buhа» («The voice from over the Bug») is dominated by propaganda, official, and agitation materials. The main problematic areas of the materials published in it: 1) state independence and unity of Ukraine; 2) the Polish-Ukrainian war of 1918-1919; 3) events and problems of civilian life. Comprehending the content of the Ukrainian press published during the National Liberation Movement of 1917-1921 is important for the objective reproduction of those events. The events and facts recorded in it are necessary for forming collective memory, a significant basis of national identity.
Keywords: West Ukrainian People's Republic, Polish-Ukrainian War, «Holos z nad Buha»/«The voice from over the Bug», the county press, the issues of publications.
The magazine «Nashi Dni» [Our Days] (1941–1944): chronicle of Ukrainian cultural life under occupation
Authors: Sereda Oksana
Published: September 2024

The peculiarities of the functioning of the Ukrainian literary and artistic magazine «Nashi Dni» during the German occupation have been studied and its editorial and publishing policy in the conditions of censorship repression and limited information opportunities has been analyzed. The purpose of the article was to reconstruct the history of the magazine’s appearance, to characterize the composition of its editorial board, the duties of the editors, to reveal the pseudonyms and cryptonyms of the periodical’s employees. To this end, a number of tasks were completed – the memories of direct participants in the Ukrainian press publishing process of 1941–1944 were found and processed; a thorough analysis of the publication's content was carried out in order to identify all its employees and contributors; dictionaries of hidden names were reviewed in order to reveal the pseudonyms and cryptonyms of the authors. The research is relevant because the magazine «Nashi Dni» has been studied by researchers only in terms of its thematic content and as a source of information about Ukrainian cultural life under the conditions of German occupation. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that, thanks to a thorough study of the sources, it was possible to highlight the history of the magazine, look behind the editorial scenes and outline the duties of the editors of the publication, introduce a number of pseudonyms and cryptonyms into scientific circulation. General scientific (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and special (biographical) methods were used to achieve the tasks of this investigation.
The magazine «Nashi Dni» was published in Lviv on December 1, 1941 under the auspices of the Ukrainian Publishing House of Periodicals and Magazines for the Galicia District (later transferred to the Ukrainian Publishing House) and had the goal of «creating literature and art for the Nation». The editorial board was initially headed by Osyp Bodnarovych, then by Ivan Nimchuk, the responsible editors were Maria Strutynska and Antonina Strutynska. The editorial board also included Svyatoslav Gordynskyi, Vasyl Simovych, Ostap Tarnavskyi and Mykola Shlemkevych. A total of 30 issues were published, the last, issue 4/5, dated April–May 1944. It has been concluded that the magazine played a decisive role in the restoration and formation of the Ukrainian cultural space of Galicia under the conditions of occupation and managed to rally around itself creative Ukrainians from both sides of the Zbruch River.
Key words: «Nashi Dni», magazine, editorial office, pseudonym, literary and artistic life, German occupation.

Authors: Jasim Mohammed , Anakira Nidal , Kamel Lina , Amourah Ala , Fareed Ali , Kalbani Khamis S Al
Published: September 2024

The primary purpose of this study is to apply the Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) to various nonlinear initial value problems of different orders to evaluate its accuracy, convergence, and computational efficiency. OHAM is considered a highly effective technique for solving nonlinear differential equations and is commonly used in scientific and engineering disciplines. It combines the strengths of homotopy and asymptotic methods. OHAM offers a straightforward approach to controlling and adjusting the convergence of the series solution. This is achieved through the utilization of an auxiliary function that incorporates multiple convergent control parameters with one order of approximation, which are optimally determined. The OHAM approach heavily relies on the auxiliary function H(p) which allows for the flexible and efficient solving of nonlinear differential equations. By carefully constructing and optimizing the parameters of H( p), the convergence of the solution series can be effectively controlled. As a result, OHAM proves to be a versatile and effective approach for solving various mathematical and engineering problems. Several examples have been solved. Numerical comparisons, displayed in tables and shown graphically in figures, prove and confirm the capability, efficiency, and better accuracy with less computational work.

Authors: López García Marlon Andrés , López García Ayrton Marcelo , Guerrón Revelo Daniela Karina , Jacome Ruiz Karina Soledad , Barriga Miño Juan Andrés
Published: September 2024

El ápex petroso es una estructura piramidal formada por las porciones mediales del hueso temporal. Se encuentra en una región anatómica compleja que contiene diversas estructuras vasculonerviosas de vital importancia. Por ello, las lesiones que se originan o se extienden a esta área pueden provocar condiciones clínicas variadas y, a menudo, graves, debido al efecto de masa o a la invasión directa de los nervios craneales, el tronco encefálico o la arteria carótida interna. Las manifestaciones clínicas pueden ser muy variadas, desde un curso asintomático de la enfermedad, hasta cefalea de diversa intensidad, alteraciones auditivas, mareo y disfunción de pares craneales, entre otras. Dado que el ápex petroso no puede visualizarse directamente, los avances recientes en técnicas de imagen como la tomografía computarizada (TC) y la resonancia magnética (RM) han mejorado considerablemente el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las lesiones en esta área, permitiendo una detección más temprana y un diagnóstico preoperatorio más preciso. Los granulomas de colesterol, también conocidos como quistes de chocolate del oído o quistes de cúpula azul, son un tipo especial de tejido de granulación del oído medio que comúnmente se presentan en el ápex petroso. Estos granulomas representan las lesiones más típicas en esta área y suelen afectar a pacientes jóvenes o de mediana edad, frecuentemente con antecedentes de infecciones óticas recurrentes. Se presenta el caso de un paciente adulto masculino que experimenta episodios de cefalea intensa en la región temporoparietal derecha, los cuales no mejoran con el tratamiento inicial. Fue necesario el uso de técnicas de imagen avanzadas para llegar a un diagnóstico definitivo. Basándose en la evidencia y los hallazgos observados en la resonancia magnética, se concluyó que el diagnóstico final es un granuloma de colesterol del ápex petroso.

This work aims to develop a virtual tour of the IFMT Tangará da Serra campus facilities using 3D modeling and Virtual Reality (VR) to be applied in the discipline of introduction to Computer Graphics of the technical course of Maintenance and Support in Informatics integrated to High School . VR allows the interaction and navigation of users in 3D environments maintained by computer, using mapping channels and analysis of user behavior, enabling the exchange of information between the virtual environment and the user, affecting one or more human senses. It is an interaction and entertainment technology that can be successfully applied to assist in teaching strategies in high school subjects. With the evolution of education, that is, the improvement of the processes of exploration, discovery, observation and construction of knowledge, new teaching tools have been emerging, among which virtual learning environments stand out because they allow people to conduct experiments or perform tasks in a new and different way that they could not do in the physical/real world, such as flying, visiting places that do not exist or are difficult to access through the manipulation and analysis of the object of study itself. Thus, VR will be fundamental in this process of educational evolution, where the use of digital tools such as ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) is increasingly sought for the successful application of active teaching methodologies in the classroom. Therefore, the objective of this project refers to the development of an interactive VR system to be used with 3D VR glasses, designed, modeled and rendered using the free software Blender, to present a virtual tour of the facilities of the IFMT Tangará da Serra campus . This tool will be very useful for demonstrating computer graphics concepts to students, as well as to the external community, as a form of institutional promotion and marketing.

As coberturas vegetais em áreas íngremes são essenciais para a conservação ambiental, manutenção da biodiversidade e proteção dos recursos hídricos. Elas atuam como uma camada protetora contra a erosão e desertificação, preservando a fertilidade e qualidade do solo. Este estudo realizado em Santa Luzia do Paruá - MA, comparou solos de áreas íngremes desflorestadas (amostra A) e com cobertura vegetal (amostra B). As análises químicas realizadas junto ao Laboratório de Análise de Solo da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU) mostraram que o solo desflorestado possui pH mais ácido, menor teor de matéria orgânica e capacidade de troca catiônica inferior, além de maior contaminação por metais, em comparação com o solo coberto. Embora ambas as amostras apresentem pH ácido, a amostra com vegetação tem pH ligeiramente mais elevado e melhor estruturação do solo. A ausência de vegetação compromete a qualidade do solo e aumenta a toxicidade por alumínio, afetando a saúde humana e o ecossistema. Este estudo destaca ainda a importância da cobertura vegetal para a retenção de nutrientes e a necessidade de intervenções, como calagem, para melhorar a fertilidade do solo. A conservação das áreas vegetadas é crucial para práticas agrícolas sustentáveis e a qualidade de vida das comunidades locais. Portanto, ações de preservação e manejo sustentável são fundamentais para mitigar os impactos do desflorestamento.

Published: September 2024

Os garimpos de ouro no Pará bem como em todo o país são grandes causadores de impacto ambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi introduzir a educação ambiental no garimpo de ouro Chico Elias localizado no Município de Pacajá e realizar o levantamento das informações sobre as consequências do uso do mercúrio na saúde da população local e no rio Anapu. Foram elaborados folders com explicação sobre os perigos do mercúrio nos ecossistemas e na saúde humana, também se buscou transmitir aos garimpeiros a importância do uso da retorta (cadim), instrumento que impede a emissão do mercúrio, na forma de vapor, para a atmosfera e que pode reduzir, em quase 100 %, o mercúrio gerado na queima do amálgama e que é inalado pelos garimpeiros. Além do uso da educação ambiental no garimpo, também foi realizado o levantamento de informações sobre uma possível contaminação do rio Anapu por mercúrio e se os moradores do entorno do rio e garimpeiros estão sendo atingidos, em sua saúde, pela atividade de extração do ouro. Esse levantamento foi feito com questionários fechados para três grupos distintos: garimpeiros, técnicos de saúde e meio ambiente e moradores do entorno do rio Anapu. Através dos resultados dos questionários foi possível observar que a atividade garimpeira realizada no garimpo está provocando alterações na qualidade da água do rio Anapu e na saúde dos trabalhadores do garimpo, que não usam equipamentos de proteção necessária, nem as retortas. Concluiu-se que há necessidade de se realizar um estudo mais profundo, com a análise da água, sedimento e peixes, com o objetivo de verificar o real impacto desse garimpo no ecossistema hídrico, além de propor projetos, no longo prazo, que ajudem a desenvolver uma consciência ambiental nos trabalhadores do garimpo.

Freshwater fish farming has developed considerably in many parts of the world in recent years, but the situation is not the same in the extra-customary center of Yakoma, in order to help combat food insecurity. The aim of this study is to contribute to the fight against food insecurity, while identifying the factors hindering the expansion of fish farming in the extra- customary center of Yakoma. To this end, 120 fish farmers were selected by multi-stage random sampling in the 10 neighborhoods of Yakoma, and surveyed in two stages in their households. Over 60.8% of respondents cited lack of technical support as the main obstacle to expanding fish farming. Cases of theft, low income and others were not very alarming. Ultimately, the extension of fish farming would promote the availability of foodstuffs, job creation and household stability; hence the fight against the circle of poverty and food insecurity.
Performance Analysis of Electric Vehicle Fast Charging System with Dual Active Bridge Converter using Triple Phase Shift Modulation
Authors: Myat Aung Myint , Win Soe
Published: September 2024

Electric vehicle DC fast charging systems, with power outputs ranging from 50 kW to 350 kW, drastically reduce charging times, enhancing EV convenience by enabling substantial battery charging within minutes. To further improve performance and reduce charging time, there is a growing need for more advanced and efficient DC-DC converter solutions in various charging systems. One of the most widely used solutions is the isolated high-frequency DC-DC Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter, favored for its high efficiency, compact design, and ability to provide galvanic isolation, which boosts both safety and performance. In this research, a novel 200 kW fast charger was chosen for modeling the fast-charging system. The proposed fast charger consists of two main sections: an AC-DC converter and a DC-DC converter utilizing the DAB technique to perform the charging function. The parameters of the components used in the model are also described. An isolated high-frequency transformer is integrated into the DC-DC converter to ensure isolation between the DC system and the electric vehicle. To enhance power quality, reduce reactive power consumption, and improve fast charging performance, triple phase shift modulation is introduced in this study. The effectiveness of the proposed modulation technique was validated through simulation results, with the modeling and simulations conducted using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model.
The relationship between business ethics and law: limits and possibilities
Authors: Stankevičienė Aksana
Published: September 2024

The moral values that form the company’s identity should remain one of the most important aspects in business, often exceeding legal regulation. At all times, the relationship between business ethics and law has balanced between the line to choose for economic benefits, the interests of the company and shareholders, employees, or consumers, whether the company can behave unethically within the limits of the law. This question has become particularly relevant since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, which has fundamentally forced various corporations to re-examine their beliefs and values, asking whether a law-abiding business can be righteous in war. The purpose of business ethics is to form standards of morally correct behaviour in business, to promote reliability, respect and accountability in organizations. It is business ethics that help enforce the law by specifying acceptable behaviour that no one can control, but which is necessary to make sense of the letter of the law. This article reviews business ethics violations in peacetime and legal regulatory issues and presents aspects of business ethics violations in wartime that are shaping new business limits and opportunities in the future.

Published: September 2024

The organizational ambidexterity of commercial banks has been the subject of recent research. As a novelty, research has yet to be conducted on the banking sector in a dynamic environment. This study’s goal is to identify the variables that affect ambidextrous banking. The research methodology uses quantitative techniques with six constructs: organizational ambidexterity (OA), dynamic capability (D-CA), organizational culture (O-CU), human capital (H-CA), and technological capacity (T-CA) with moderator environmental dynamism (E-DY). The research questionnaire was measured using seven Likert scales, and the data was processed using structural equation modeling and Smart PLS software. The results of all hypothesis tests are as follows: First, technological capacity, organization culture, and dynamic capability have a positive effect on organizational ambidexterity. Second, technological capacity, human capital, and organizational culture have positive results for a positive effect on dynamic capability. Third, the moderating effect of E-DY on the relationship between T-CA and OA has a negative and significant impact. Fourth, the moderating effect of E-DY on the relationship between O-CU and OA is insignificant. Fifth, the moderating influence of E-DY on the link between dynamic capability and organizational ambidexterity has a positive and significant impact. This study will contribute to the theoretical aspect by enriching the theory that human resource management, technological capacity, organizational culture, and dynamic capabilities are essential in organizational ambidexterity.

Low vitamin D levels are associated with different pulmonary diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, and obstructive sleep apnea. In this study, we aimed to assess the relation between vitamin D levels and COVID-19 severity. Positive COVID-19 patients were subjected to clinical examination, computed tomography of the chest, and laboratory investigations. Serum vitamin D level was measured and correlated with the severity and the clinical course of the disease. The study included 72 patients, classified into four groups according to the severity of the disease. There was a statistically significant difference between the four groups regarding age, lymphocyte count, serum vitamin D, C-reactive protein, and lactate dehydrogenase levels. Serum vitamin D levels can be correlated with COVID-19 severity and clinical course.
Theological examination of the name of Jesus from a hermeneutical approach
Authors: Cho Anna
Published: September 2024

This article examines the name of ‘Jesus’ theologically through the hermeneutic methodology of the speech act theory. We can say that to believe in Jesus is to believe in the name of Jesus. However, even though the name of Jesus represents Jesus, theological research following the name of Jesus has not been actively conducted. If Jesus is the Son of God and the Saviour, there must be a theological and hermeneutical discussion about what theological implications are in the name of Jesus, which implies all of this and how this name of Jesus affects our lives. Therefore, this article judges that theological consideration of the name of Jesus is necessary and tries to examine the name of Jesus through the hermeneutical methodology of the speech act theory.Contribution: The performative nature of the name of Jesus signifies the presence of Jesus. By having faith in the name of Jesus, believers put the saving meaning of his name into action, and the power of Jesus becomes a reality in their lives.

Rabies is endemic in Sudan with continuing outbreaks occurring annually, the most common animals affected are dogs, followed by goats and equids. This work focused on equid rabies, to elucidate the current situation of the disease through analysis of reports of equid rabies outbreaks in Sudan during 2010–2022 supported by laboratory confirmation of the disease. During the study period, 66 animals were affected during 35 equid rabies outbreaks. The highest incidences were found in Al Gezira (30.3%), followed by Darfur (24.2%) and Kordofan (15.2%). The highest incidence rate was observed during 2018 (33.3%), followed by 2015 (16.7%). Within seasons, the highest incidence rate was reported during October – December (33.3%), followed by July – September (30.3%). Chi-square analysis revealed a significant correlation between rabid animals and year, season, and state. Wald statistics demonstrated that year and season had a significant association with the disease. Virus antigen was identified (72.2%) in brain tissues using the fluorescent antibody test. Viral nucleic acid was amplified (n = 6) with a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay.Contribution: As equids are kept in close contact with humans and other animals in the country, according to the present investigation, equid rabies in Sudan is a potential public health concern, emphasising the importance of implementing effective control measures.
Evaluation of the Vertical Loop of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve at the Mental Foramen Region - A Retrospective Study
Authors: Rajanikanth B. R. , Prasad Kavitha , Kapoor Saumya , Choudhary Aakriti
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

The objective of this study was to assess the vertical loop of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) at the mental foramen region by measuring the vertical height of the loop from the lower border of the IAN canal to that of the lower border of the mental foramen using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted using CBCT scans of 541 patients aged 18 years and above from March 2015 to March 2022. These scans were analysed to determine the height of the vertical loop of IAN at the mental foramen.

Results:

Statistically significant value was obtained, with the highest value being 11.6 mm and a mean value of 3.81 mm. The right-side vertical loop of IAN at the mental foramen region was significantly higher in males (3.92 ± 1.78) than in females (3.59 ± 1.42). Statistically significant results were obtained on both sides amongst the different age groups.

Discussion:

The vertical loop at the mental foramen region is considered to be significant for planning and performing various oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. A CBCT is a must, but in its absence, a safety zone of 7–10 mm is to be allowed to prevent inadvertent nerve damage.
Uporaba novih tehnologij pri jezikovnem pouku
Authors: Pisanski Agnes
Published: September 2024

The paper presents an overview of the possibilities of using new technologies in language teaching. The use of new technologies in language teaching depends on both the willingness of the teacher to accept them and use them in the classroom, as well as the equipment available. The possibilities for using new technologies are grouped into three main categories: language teaching resources, general resources and electronic communication. In addition to a brief description of each of the possibilities, the most important advantages and disadvantages of its use are assessed as well. For each category, possible examples for English and Slovene language teaching are given.
Korpusi in jezikoslovje
Authors: Gorjanc Vojko
Published: September 2024

With the emergence of corpora, more quality data on linguistic reality is available in linguistics than ever before. With the development of the methodology of corpus collection and corpus analysis, methodology enabling a thorough insight into language operation and effective language description has developed as well. Along with user-directed material descriptions of language and its operation, new professional types of discourse are formed which are juxtaposed to the traditional types; in today's society of knowledge, its ways of creating and transmitting knowledge and intellectual skills are formed in a democratic dialogue between the creators of knowledge and those who need this knowledge.

The article deals with reference books and other sources of data about the Slovenian language found in digital form. It begins with dictionaries as classic reference books in various computer environments, followed by morphological lexicons and language corpora as the new types of reference tools and finally language proofing tools found in text processors, translation software and speech technologies. The article ends with a short assessment of the current situation and predictions for future development.
Kaj izvira iz jezikovnih virov,
Authors: Vintar Špela
Published: September 2024

Language resources such as corpora, lexica and thesauri as well as basic language analysis tools are needed on the one hand for linguistic description and the production of reference works, and on the other hand for the development of various user applications. The paper describes some areas of exploiting language resources for linguistic and other purposes from the user's perspective. The overview begins with corpus-based methods in lexicography, grammar and translation studies, then we briefly list some better-known technologies such as spell-checkers, thesauri and machine translation tools. In recent years the field is increasingly focussing on semantic applications for Document Classification and Summarization, Information Retrieval and Ontology Building. The second part of the paper presents two specific fields of exploiting language resources: Automatic Term Extraction and Knowledge Discovery in the medical domain through Text Mining.
Škofjeloški pasijon – med vero in dvomom
Authors: Zajc Neža
Published: September 2024

With the treatment of the first recorded Slovene play, this article makes an attempt to give a concise portrayal of the main lines of interest for its studying. The elucidation of the literary and historical background concerning the origins of the Passion is attempted in order to ascertain its genre and a special concordance with the basic principles of the Baroque literary and art period. The placement into three different strands of the Baroque, which also signify the different levels of representation, was used to present the complexity of the Baroque in general and to open up the problem of the status ascribed to the literary work of that period. A linguistic, and above all, a detailed stylistic analysis was applied to confirm the appropriate literary and theoretical definition of the Škofja Loka Passion and to touch upon the still non-researched ways of examining this dramatic piece.
Medkulturna pragmatika pri pouku slovenščine kot J2
Authors: Mikolič Vesna
Published: September 2024

Intercultural pragmatics can be understood as a modern approach to contrastive analysis of languages and cultures. The article elucidates its development and significance for both, the development of linguistic studies, as well as the educational process. Its role is presented as part of the current efforts to include intercultural communicative competence in the teaching of foreign languages, where those areas of intercultural pragmatics need to be foregrounded that enrich or re-define the methods of teaching Slovene as a second/foreign language. The illustrated examples will serve as an argument that including intercultural pragmatics in the teaching of foreign languages does not signify only an embedding of cultural elements, but also an enlightened approach to intercultural differences in linguistic systems and their use, which will aid students to an efficient communication in a foreign language environment.
Pojmovanje časa in prostora ter kozmologija v poeziji in poetiki Gregorja Strniše
Authors: Žižek Urbas Andreja
Published: September 2024

The poetry and poetics of Gregor Strniša were created in a gradual and syncretic process, based on the meeting points between philosophy, mythic thought and the natural sciences, in particular cosmology. He introduced scientific principles into his literary hermeneutics, such as the specific and general theory of relativity and the principle of indeterminism, while in his own way, he also answered the speculative theories of good harmony of the universe, and the anthropic principle of the universe. His collections of poetry, the most prominent being the last five (Želod or Acorn in English, Oko or Eye, Škarje or Scissors, Jajce or Egg, and Vesolje or Universe), can be understood as cosmological models, since they are built on the basis of thought-out compositional principles, which over and over again define place and time. For Strniša, science and poetry are two possible routes towards the comprehension of the universe, truth, everything; unfortunately, his poetry remains too enigmatic and hermetic for many readers.
Vloga stereotipov v sodobni slovenski kratki prozi
Authors: Bošnjak Blanka
Published: September 2024

The theoretical framework for the role of an actor as a category in prosaic subjectivity was argued by Algirdas Julien Greimas with his actant model, foregrounding the required relation between subject and object. This may result in encountering the problem of stereotypes (Toril Moi) that still appear in modern literature, and are related mainly to the understanding of gender roles or the position of a woman and a man and their relationship within a society. The article focuses on the role of the female figure as a subject of modern Slovene short fiction, reflecting the various possibilities of verbalisation (e.g. the phenomenon of a stereotypical female figure as a seductress and its ironisation, the figure of a devoted wife or of an active woman).
