Authors: Mukhametshin R. F. , Kovtun O. P. , Davydova N. S. , Kurganski A. A.
Published: April 2023

Objective. To identify predictors of newborn infants mortality before medical evacuation.

Materials and methods. The observational, cohort, retrospective study included 564 newborns: 526 patients survived and 38 died after 604 visits of the resuscitation-consultation Center transport team (critical care transport — CCT team). Patient's anamnesis, objective data of a patient at the time of examination by CCT team, the volume of intensive care provided and treatment adjustments during preparation for the transfer, records of patient's monitored parameters and indicators of prognosis were analyzed.

Results. Compared to survivors, non-survivors neonates exhibited significant increases in premature new-borns (gestation period <29 weeks in 55.26% vs 10.27% in survivors, P<0.001) and significantly increased need in a high-frequency ventilation (7.89% [1.66-21.38] vs 0.57% [0.12-1.66] in survivors, P=0.005), and in cate-cholamines support (use of adrenaline was 13.51% [4.54-28.77] in non-survivors vs 0.76% [0.21-1.94] in survivors, P<0.001). Both early and late neonatal infections predominated in non-survivors: ([26.32% [13.40-43.10] vs 8,75% [6,47-11,49, early infection, non-survivors vs. survivors, respectively, P=0.002) and (23.6% 8 [11.44-40.24] vs 10.46% [7.97-13.39], late infection, non-survivors vs. survivors, respectively, P=0.028). Significant differences in the fraction of inspired oxygen (30% [30-30] vs 45% [30-60], P<0.001), oxygenation saturation index (2.71 [2.54-3.03] vs 4.48 [2.55-7.67], P<0.001), and SpO2/FiO2 ratio (316.67 [313.33-320] vs 207.25 [151.67-313.33] P<0.001) were found between the groups of survived vs. non-survived neonates, respectively. Logistic regression model revealed following markers of neonatal mortality: birth weight, development of early and late neonatal infection, and the oxygenation saturation index.

Conclusion. Low birth weight, development of early or late neonatal infection and an increase in the oxygenation saturation index are the risk factors of death in newborns requiring medical evacuation.

Authors: Reyzábal Mª Victoria
Published: April 2023

Se realiza un recorrido extenso sobre el acceso, la formación inicial y permanente, las funciones y competencias de la supervisión educativa, desde el enfoque de su aplicación comprometida y ética. No es solo una mirada legal o técnica de la supervisión, sino especialmente relacionada con las implicaciones que su desempeño posee a lo largo de la práctica, tanto en la Administración como en su trabajo directo de visita a los centros docentes. El objetivo del trabajo, por tanto, es suscitar la reflexión social sobre la ética que debe presidir la acción supervisora, dada su relevancia para el funcionamiento de los sistemas educativos. La formación que poseen los supervisores y las responsabilidades que asumen en el desarrollo sistémico de calidad, suponen un compromiso modélico del que no se pueden distanciar, pues su actuación adecuada tiene un importante impacto en el quehacer diario de buen número de profesionales de la docencia, al igual que en la mejora de la calidad educativa, mediante su acción ante los directivos escolares. Se abordan, por tanto, temáticas que poseen gran relevancia a todos los niveles; en este caso, poniendo el énfasis en la responsabilidad de la supervisión como modelo ético de conducta dentro del sistema educativo.
A Avaliação Externa de Escolas em Portugal. Da Sustentabilidade no Presente, aos Desafios no Futuro
Authors: Lopo Guerreiro Helder
Published: April 2023

O conceito de ‘sustentabilidade’ entrou no discurso da educação e é um estado desejado para o sistema, políticas ou simples projetos. A sustentabilidade só é alcançada com o contributo de uma complexidade de fatores, que diferem de caso para caso. A avaliação externa de escolas é reconhecida como uma atividade sustentável, pois existe há quase nove anos, foi implementada ao longo de dois ciclos e sobreviveu à mudança de ciclos políticos. Com recurso a uma cuidada análise do quadro legal e de publicações oficiais, olhámos para cada um dos ciclos a fim de compreendermos quais os fatores que mais têm contribuído para a sua sustentabilidade. Aproximamo-nos agora do tempo para iniciar o seu 3o ciclo. Desenhámos um cenário possível, tendo por base que existem condições favoráveis à continuidade da atividade, excetuando a incógnita que um novo ciclo político pode trazer. Chegados a este ponto, constatamos que a vontade de mudar e melhorar a avaliação externa pode trazer riscos conflituar com a sua própria sustentabilidade.

Published: April 2023

Wstęp Występowanie ognisk epidemicznych w szpitalach stanowi wciąż aktualny i istotny problem. Określenia „ognisko epidemiczne” używa się względem osoby chorej wraz z jej otoczeniem, w którym istnieją warunki do przenoszenia czynnika chorobotwórczego na osoby wrażliwe. Ognisko epidemiczne szpitalne oznacza natomiast wystąpienie w szpitalu co najmniej dwóch, wyraźnie powiązanych ze sobą przypadków zakażeń. Ogniska epidemiczne w szpitalu stanowią zagrożenie nie tylko dla pacjentów, ale również dla personelu. Najważniejszym środkiem zapobiegawczym jest przestrzeganie obowiązujących procedur przerywania przenoszenia drobnoustrojów. Cel Celem niniejszej pracy była analiza ogniska epidemicznego o etiologii Klebsiella pneumoniae wytwarzającej karbapenemazę klasy B typu MBL, a konkretnie NDM (ang. New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase) w szpitalu wielospecjalistycznym. Materiał i metody Badania przeprowadzono w czasie trwania ogniska epidemicznego Klebsiella pneumoniae NDM, w schemacie postępowania od identyfikacji, przez wykrycie obecności karbapenemaz NDM, po analizę lekooporności. Wyniki i wnioski Nie ustalono źródła zakażenia w ognisku epidemicznym, natomiast za prawdopodobną drogę przenoszenia zakażenia uznano drogę kontaktową. Wszystkie badane szczepy były wielolekooporne.
Infekcyjne zapalenie rogówki – przegląd aktualnych badań, etiologia, leczenie oraz lekooporność
Authors: Dalkowska Barbara , Furga Artur
Published: April 2023

Infekcyjne zapalenie rogówki jest chorobą występującą globalnie, mogącą prowadzić do poważnych zaburzeń widzenia. Zapalenie może być spowodowane przez szereg mikroorganizmów, w tym bakterie, grzyby czy pierwotniaki z grupy Acanthamoeba. Klimat, położenie geograficzne oraz poziom rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego są czynnikami znacznie wpływającymi na etiologię. W krajach rozwiniętych o klimacie umiarkowanym infekcyjne zapalenie rogówki jest najczęściej spowodowane przez bakterie, głównie bakterie Gram-dodatnie. Zapalenie spowodowane Acanthamoeba, chociaż mniej częste, w krajach rozwiniętych może być powiązane z późniejszymi zaburzeniami widzenia. Soczewki kontaktowe, urazy oka, choroby gałki ocznej oraz choroby układowe to obecnie najważniejsze czynniki ryzyka. Szerokospektralna antybiotykoterapia jest standardem leczenia infekcyjnych zapaleń rogówki. Wzrastająca lekooporność prowadzi do zmniejszenia sukcesu terapeutycznego. Celem niniejszej pracy jest przegląd aktualnych badań, etiologii infekcyjnego zapalenia rogówki, podsumowanie wytycznych Amerykańskiego Towarzystwa Okulistycznego oraz analiza trendów lekooporności.

Published: April 2023

This article studies the magnetohydrodynamic flow of non-Newtonian ferro nanofluid subject to time-dependent pressure gradient between two vertical permeable walls with Cattaneo–Christov heat flux and entropy generation. In this study, blood is considered as non-Newtonian fluid (couple stress fluid). Nanoparticles’ shape factor, Joule heating, viscous dissipation, and radiative heat impacts are examined. This investigation is crucial in nanodrug delivery, pharmaceutical processes, microelectronics, biomedicines, and dynamics of physiological fluids. The flow governing partial differential equations are transformed into the system of ordinary differential equations by deploying the perturbation process and then handled with Runge–Kutta 4th-order procedure aided by the shooting approach. Hamilton–Crosser model is employed to analyze the thermal conductivity of different shapes of nanoparticles. The obtained results reveal that intensifying Eckert number leads to a higher temperature, while the reverse is true for increased thermal relaxation parameter. Heat transfer rate escalates for increasing thermal radiation. Entropy dwindles for intensifying thermal relaxation parameter.
Morphological and morphometric characteristics of fresh and cryopreserved spermatozoa of saanen bucks
Authors: Bogdaniuk A. , Petrushko M.
Published: April 2023

Background. Cryopreservation of spermatozoa with the best morphofunctional characteristics may allow their use
for assisted reproductive technologies in goat breeding throughout the year to effectively increase livestock. Aim. To
evaluate the influence of seasons on morphological and morphometric characteristics of fresh and cryopreserved goat
sperm. Methods. The ejaculate samples of three sexually mature bucks of the Saanen breed were obtained during the
breeding and non-breeding seasons. To assess the morphological characteristics, the smears of sperm were stained
and then visualized under a light microscope with a magnification of ×1,000. For morphometric measurements, sperm
micrographs were taken and analyzed using the ImageJ software. The cryopreservation of sperm was performed in a
medium with 10 % glycerol and 20 % egg yolk. The samples were thawed in a water bath, then the morphological and
morphometric characteristics of the cells were evaluated. Results. After the cryopreservation, the number of sperm
with abnormal morphological structures was significantly higher compared to fresh sperm, both in the breeding and
non-breeding seasons (p ≤ 0.05). After the cryopreservation, the length and width of the head decreased significantly
(p ≤ 0.05) compared to the corresponding sperm sizes before the cryopreservation. Analyzing the morphological char-
acteristics of the tail part, we revealed the fact of its reduction after the cryopreservation, probably due to twisting,
loop formation, and detachment of its part. Conclusions. It was found that in the non-breeding season, the number of
spermatozoa with damaged morphological structures increases, compared to the breeding season, which must be taken
into account when using reproductive technologies. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of Saanen
buck spermatozoa change after the cryopreservation, regardless of the season, which indicates the need to choose the
fertilization tactics that will ensure the selection of spermatozoa without any morphological abnormalities.
Mutation types and frequency in Nigella damascena L. in the М2 and M3 generation, using ethyl methanesulfonate, nitrosomethylurea and a new derivative of dimethylsulfate, DG-2
Authors: Gubanova Yu.
Published: April 2023

Aim. To identify mutations and evaluate the mutation frequency in Nigella damascena L. cultivars (cvs) Bereginya
and Charivnytsya (M2 and M3 generation), following treatment of their seeds with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS),
nitrosomethylurea (NMU) and a new derivative of dimethyl sulfate, DG-2. Methods. Treated Nigella seeds of two
cvs with the mutagens for 6 and 16 h and in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.5 % for EMS and NMU and 0.05 and 0.5 %
for DG-2. Results. A wide range of mutations (59 types) was obtained, that was divided into six groups: five groups
with changes in the morphological type and one group with changes in the physiological type. Among the detected
mutations, there were both previously known mutations and those obtained in this culture for the first time. The high-
est mutation frequency (30 %) affecting synthesis of chlorophyll and structure of stem, shoots and leaves and 20 % for
physiological features, was registered for NMU at 16 h and 0.05 % in cv. Bereginya. However, this NMU concentra-
tion appeared to be lethal for cv. Charivnytsya. Conclusions. The new mutagen DG-2 proved to be most effective for
inducing mutations in the corolla petal color of nigella, namely 4.0 at a 0.5 % concentration of the mutagen and 16h
exposure for cv. Bereginya and 4.0 % at the same concentration and exposure for cv. Charivnytsya. DG-2 caused a
substantial number of mutations in all six mutation groups affecting morphological and physiological traits. The clas-
sic mutagen EMS was also effective across the spectrum of mutation groups in our study; however, it caused mutations
at a lower frequency. The maximum mutation frequency under influence of EMC at a concentration of 0.05 % and an
exposure of 16 h in cv. Bereginya was 11.0 %, and in cv. Charivnytsya 8.0 %. For all three mutagens used, an increase
in the concentration of the active substance and of exposure time led to an increase in the mutation frequency in N.
damascena plants. We will select mutants with economically valuable traits, such as tall, lodging-resistant plants and
early maturing ones, for further work on the development of new cultivars of N. damascena for industrial cultivation.

Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) widely used in the therapy of preventing the formation of blood clots, improving the oxygenation of peripheral tissues. IPC is an established method in the therapy of post-operative recovery and in geriatrics and sports medicine. The purpose of our study was to determine functional changes in heart rate variability (HRV) and peripheral hemodynamics during exposure to lowintensity IPC depending on different types of regulation of the autonomic nervous system. We investigated 62 participants in age of 18-22 years. Testing sessions that included pressure of 40 mmHg and 20-minute period of temporary occlusion of the lower extremities was performed by intermittent pneumatic compression with Recovery Pump PRX device (“Mego Aftek AC Ltd”, Israel). During the procedure exposure and recovery period, arterial blood pressure was recorded with Korotkov’s auscultative method by mercury tonometer (“Dr. Frei”A-10, Switzerland). Heart Rate was monitored using a Cardio Trainer Polar H9 (“Polar Electro Oy”, Finland). For monitoring hemodynamic changes, impedance cardiography (ICG) method (“ХАІ-medica”, Kharkiv, Ukraine) was applied by 15 s. Based on the spectrum power values in the range of 0.15–0.4 (HFnorm), 3 groups of volunteers were determined using sigma deviations. Group 1 included 29 volunteers with an advantage of the sympathetic link of regulation of the autonomic nervous system (the background HFnorm was less than 40 nu). Group 2 included 19 persons with a normotonic type of autonomic nervous system regulation (HFnorm from 40 to 60 nu). Group 3 included 14 individuals with predominance of the parasympathetic link of the autonomic nervous system (HFnorm above 60 nu). In conclusion, IPC treatment in groups 1 and 2 inhibited the sympathetic activation, increased the blood flow in the large femoral arteries and tone of small arteries. In group 3, the blood outflow from the lower extremities was predominance, the blood flow volume and speed decreased. Therefore, we conclude effectivity of the low intensity IPC using. Also, HRV and peripheral hemodynamics depend on the types of regulation of the autonomic nervous system.

Published: April 2023

Abstract. Restricted access to markets and complex rules remain a global barrier to growing small enterprises. A randomized sample of 200 farmers were carefully selected for the study. The study assessed farmers methods of linking to markets in Mbombela South Africa and analyse the determinants of engaging in specific types of markets. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires divided into sections were applied. The descriptive statistics and logistic regression methods were used for data analysis. The results showed that majority of smallholder farmers used informal markets and linkage to market information is through cell phone. Some of the major challenges farmers faced when accessing markets were transportation and inadequate market information. The empirical results of the study showed that the variables that positively influenced the choice of specific types of markets by farmers were gender (P<0.030), age (P<0.007), distance to markets (P<0.057), easiness of accessing markets (P<0.007), challenges with accessing markets (P<0.042) and access to extension services (P<0.003). The study concluded that the smallholder farmers in the Mbombela Local Municipality have difficulties in accessing formal markets and rely on informal markets to sell their farm products. The study recommended that farmers should be trained on the use of social media channels in accessing agricultural markets. Government should support to improve infrastructures like roads to assist farmers in accessing market. The study concluded that transport costs should be managed through shared and collective transportation arrangement with other farmers to convey farm produce to the markets for sale.

Published: April 2023

Radicalism exists in every religion, including Islam. There are various motives of the perpetrators to carry out radical actions, one of which is literal religious knowledge, such knowing the hadith. Radicals subscribe to an essentialist or primordialist worldview when it comes to comprehending religious teaching in the context of societal violence. They view religious conflict as a natural part of religion. This essay aims to investigate the radical potential of the jihad hadiths. The author also examines how radical organizations figuratively construct this potential to support their violent actions. This study finds that literal interpretation of jihadist hadiths frequently serves as a catalyst for religious violence. It does this by applying qualitative approaches to hadith literature. Jihad is only understood as battle in this context (qitaal). The humanist interpretation of the hadith of jihad, which can imply a commitment to maintain truth and justice, is negated by this literal interpretation.

Published: April 2023

This article explores the influence of misogynist hadith texts on islamic boarding school community in Kerinci. The pattern of life in Islamic boarding schools is something phenomenal because it describes their behavior which is based on their understanding of sacred texts such as hadith. However, this behavior is certainly different when viewed from the paradigm of text interpreters, whether textualist or contextualist. This article highlights the dimension which in the context of living hadith is known as collective performation. This research focus on tracing the hadiths that developed in traditional and modern Islamic boarding schools. By using a qualitative method with an ethnographic and gender approach to two types of Islamic boarding schools in Kerinci, the authors found that traditional Islamic boarding schools tended to be textual. They understand the hadith that prohibits women from traveling without a mahram strictly according to its textual meaning. Meanwhile, modern Islamic boarding schools understand this hadith contextually, that safe and secure environmental conditions allow women to leave the house without being accompanied by a mahram. The authors argue that the differences in the meaning of this hadith cannot be separated from the reading sources developed at the Islamic boarding school, as well as the influence of the teaching staff.

Additions to the history of Hungarian medieval royal centre rehabilitations in the interwar period
Authors: Pleskovics Viola
Published: April 2023

After the Treaty of Trianon (1920) the long-destroyed medieval royal centres of Hungary could be used as sites to replace the “lost historic monuments” on the areas separated from Hungary.

In 1934, the art historian Tibor Gerevich, a famed person in Italian-Hungarian cultural diplomacy became the Chairman of the National Committee of Historic Monuments. The Committee lead three iconic works among others during this era: the excavation of the medieval royal palace of Visegrád, the rehabilitation of the ruins of the medieval provostal church in Székesfehérvár, and the renovation of the medieval royal palace of Esztergom. The reconstructions of two of them could have been fulfilled, using the modernist style of the Italian restaurations. Until these works, the reconstructions happened only with additions in historicistic styles. The study examines the transformation as a phenomenon which did not happen so sharply. During the planning processes, the attitude of historicistic way of seeing can be also observed in the architectural renovation practices.
Practice of praxis
Authors: Ritchie Laura
Published: April 2023

The practice of praxis involves engaging in learning with an active awareness of the developmental process as it occurs. Although self-regulation assists in self-directed learning, heutagogy and engaging with praxis are not independent of collaboration and connection with others. Beside the strategic mental and physical aspects of learning, a person's affective states and processes impact their engagement and achievement. Outside the formal framework of education, finding a way to support learning through collective engagement can be a challenge. This study explores an experimental community-based innovation to facilitate deep learning in an informal setting amongst a diverse group of creative adults. An online platform, YapNet, was created to address the gap for people to engage with praxis through a self-directed, interdisciplinary network that encouraged deep learning through critical, respectful feedback. Individuals shared incomplete professional work in progress on the platform, noticed and responded to one another through dialogic commentary. The benefits of this engagement are demonstrated through case studies, of a musician and of a writer. The learning demonstrated by these professionals is discussed and the core principles of YapNet are outlined for transferable use in other social and professional settings.

Published: April 2023

Ethiopia's government proposes paving existing roads or building modern intersections in cities to reduce maintenance costs. An unimproved signalized intersection at 6° 51′ 47.9″ N and 37° 45′ 50.1″ E is selected for this research. Cost-benefit analysis is used to evaluate the proposed innovative approach to designing and implementing an intersection and to compare whether the new road projects will have an adequate return. This research suggests converting the current intersection into a signalized roundabout to calm traffic. Signalized roundabouts have a higher net present value and a modified internal rate of return than improved signalized crossing intersections. Considering the country's high inflation rate, three scenarios recommend using a signalized roundabout.

La crisis ucraniana: algo más que un conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania
Authors: Bermejo-García Romualdo
Published: April 2023

El conflicto armado en Ucrania no es un mero conflicto ruso-ucraniano. Con la llegada de Biden a la Presidencia de los Estados Unidos, ya se respiraba un aire de conflicto que, por las causas expuestas en este estudio, llevaron a la invasión del 24 de febrero, que pasará a la historia no solo del continente europeo, y Rusia es Europa, sino a nivel mundial. La invasión rusa desencadenada por la «Operación Militar Especial» es una reacción a una serie de acontecimientos que se fueron fraguando desde el cambio de siglo con unos fines muy concretos, que consistían en debilitar a Rusia, tanto a nivel económico, como político y militar. Una coalición de Estados denominados democráticos se oponen a Rusia, aunque lo que buscan no es la defensa de las libertades y la protección de los derechos humanos, sino la estrangulación de Rusia. Esta coalición «democrática» y también bélica, supone una cobeligerancia «de facto» ejemplar, cuando no «de jure», sobre todo si se toma en consideración el desarrollo tecnológico actual
Monitoring the storage volume of impounding reservoirs in inaccessible regions using multi-sensor satellite data: the case study of Tuyen Quang Reservoir (Vietnam)

Published: April 2023

Water stored by reservoirs is critical for irrigation, electricity generation, drinking water supply, recreation, fisheries, and flood control. Therefore, the reservoir's water storage volume (SW) must be measured and monitored frequently for better watershed management. Since SW data is often not publicly available, finding a method to quantify SW objectively and accurately but to facilitate local water management is necessary. This study proposes a method for monitoring water surface area and storage volume using multi-sensor satellite remote sensing data through the Tuyen Quang Reservoir case study in Northern Vietnam. Accordingly, the water surface area was first delineated from multi-temporal optical satellite images, such as Landsat series and Sentinel-2 images, using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index and resampled into 30-m pixel resolution data. Using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model data, the water depth at each pixel was then calculated by the difference between its elevation and the reservoir shoreline's mean elevation. The results showed that the reservoir's water surface area increased rapidly during 2003-2007 (from 579 ha to 5,516 ha), fluctuated insignificantly in 2008-2020, and reached 7,196 ha in 2021. Consequently, SW was raised from 11.8 million m3 in 2003 to 1.68 billion m3 in 2021. Our estimations agree with the depth and SW of Tuyen Quang Reservoir published in 2019. Our proposed method could be an effective water resource management tool in developing countries where the number of impounding reservoirs increases dramatically yearly without the financial afford to build gauging stations.

For the Kurds, 45-million population, Barzani name is associated with the legendary, full of charisma figure Mustafa Barzani, the deceased Masud Barzani’s father, the current president of the Kurdistan Region. After the death of Mustafa, Masud took over the leadership of established by his father the Democratic Party of Kurdistan and continues his policy. With the right education, which he gained from his family home, in an atmosphere of high politics and installing from an early age the idea of sacrificing for their own nation, Masud, like his father, became a man, who is recognized and respected by Kurdish community. Although a state called Kurdistan does not exist on the map of the world and the Kurdistan Region, is only a small part of the ethnic Kurdistan in northern Iraq, Masud succefoed in creating a far-reaching autonomy for the Kurds, as well as making this region one of the most important part in the area of Middle East.

Konflikty zewnętrzne i wewnętrzne w trylogii tajwańskiej Anga Lee
Authors: Kowalski Adrian D.
Published: April 2023

Article is devoted to the analysis of the theme of conflict in the first three films by Ang Lee, which make up the trilogy Father knows best. Author examines how conflicts are expressed in films Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet and Eat, drink, man, woman. Author refers to the biography of the director and marks important fact that Ang Lee recognizes experiences of his youth – especially the difficult relationship with his own father – the driving force of his work. It is considered therefore that impressively diverse films – stylistically, thematically and typically – have common themes, which – originated in the trilogy – find their development in later films. Author analyzes the assumptions of Confucianism and Toaism contained in the trilogy and examines the duality of Chinese personality, based on the foundation of ethnic-family, ethnocentrism, respect for authority, the division of gender roles, emotional control and conservative foundations, that Ang Lee contests and deploys in new, multicultural and global environments. Consequently author examines the issue of collision between the Eastern and Western perspectives, conflict of generations and the conflict as carrier of change. The conclusion is that the trilogy presents different variants of catharsis, which will penetrate into the later Ang Lee’s films.

GENERATION HONEYCOMB-STRUCTURE OF TITANIA NANOTUBES AND THEIR CHARACTERIZATION
Authors: Arsha A. S. , Raja D. Henry
Published: April 2023

In this research, we highlight the honeycomb structure generated by electrochemical anodization and the effect of anodization voltage on the diameter and wall thickness of titania (TiO2) nanotubes. According to our observations, a tiny change in the anodization parameter causes the morphology of nanotubes to vary. As a result, nanotube production is an extremely delicate process. Following the experimental section, we obtained nanotubes with diameters of 38, 55, and 91 nm and anodization potentials of 20, 30, and 40 V, respectively. With constant time, temperature, and pH, nanotubes grew and became longer at 20 V. Such morphology significantly impacts titania nanotube applications like photocatalysis for wastewater treatment.

Managerial ability comes from capabilities, skills and experiences that reflect on strategic differentials for all organizational levels, being a premise of greater efficiency and accounting and tax knowledge that can bring great benefits to the results of organizations. In this context, this study seeks to verify the influence of managerial skill on the accounting and tax compliance of publicly traded companies at a global level. This research is characterized as descriptive, with a quantitative approach, carried out through documents collection and the data were treated by multiple linear regression. The research population comprises public companies from 28 countries, with a sample of 11,506 companies from 2012 to 2019. In general, the results showed that managerial skill positively influences the level of accounting-tax compliance of companies. When comparing the results between the groups of countries analyzed, it is evident that the country's legal orientation becomes a complementary factor to managerial skill in determining accounting-tax compliance. For example, companies with more skilled managers located in common law countries have greater accounting-tax noncompliance, on the other hand, companies with greater managerial skills from civil law and Muslim countries have greater accounting and tax compliance. The study reinforces the premise that companies from common law countries and with greater managerial skills are concerned with providing higher quality accounting information to external users, placing less emphasis on the use of corporate accounting for tax purposes.

O disclosure permite que a contabilidade atinja o seu principal objetivo, o de prover informações úteis e confiáveis aos seus usuários. Assim, fundamentado na Teoria da Divulgação, o presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar o nível de disclosure das provisões e passivos contingentes ambientais de empresas com alto potencial de poluição. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, aplicando-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo nas demonstrações financeiras entre os anos 2010 e 2019. Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se de check list elaborado de acordo com os critérios estabelecidos pelo Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis Nº 25 (CPC 25) para reconhecimento e divulgação das provisões e passivos contingentes de natureza ambiental. Os achados revelam uma baixa evidenciação dos itens estabelecidos, apesar do crescente número de observações afirmativas nos últimos três anos. Quanto ao nível de disclosure, os resultados evidenciaram que o segmento com maior destaque foi o de extração e tratamento de minerais, ao evidenciar no grupo de empresas listadas no ISE um percentual de 73%. Em relação à análise dos grupos, realizou-se a média das empresas listadas e não listadas no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE), evidenciando através do teste T de student a existência de diferença estatística significativa entre as médias, de 27,66 e 15,21, respectivamente, rejeitando-se a hipótese nula de pesquisa.

There are many features that athletes must have in order to be successful in futsal. One of these features is agility based on rapid and sudden change of direction. This study was conducted to examine the agility of futsal players playing in different positions (goalkeeper, defense and attack) and to analyze their responses to different agility tests. The research data were obtained by subjecting indoor soccer players playing in the Universities Futsal League to agility tests and revealing their answers at the end. 30 futsal players playing in the Turkish Universities Futsal League, with an average age of 21.57±1.97 years, participated in the research voluntarily. Pro-Agility Test, 505 and Zig Zag agility tests were used to determine agility characteristics. Futsal players participating in the research, Pro-Agility agility test values 4.56±0.29 sec, 5 0 5 agility test values 2.33±0.18 sec, Zigzag agility test values with the ball 8.33±0.39 sec and without the ball Zigzag agility test values were found to be 6.44±0.31 sec. When futsal players’ answers to different agility tests are compared according to their positions; In all tests, it was determined that the players playing in the offensive zone had the best agility test values; Statistically significant differences were found in the values of Pro-Agility test, 505 agility test, zig-zag test with and without the ball (p<0.05). As a result; In futsal, where there are many rapid and sudden changes in direction, the agility of the players is considered very important for the players in all positions. It can be said that the agility feature of futsal players is in good condition regardless of position, regular measurement of agility features with and without the ball, including studies to improve the agility feature in the trainings, are some very important criteria for the athletes to reach the desired performance level.

Covid-19 salgını sırasında eğitime ara verme, spor salonlarının kapatılması ve sokağa çıkma yasakları gibi kısıtlamalardan dolayı akran ilişkilerinin olumsuz yönde etkilenmesi muhtemeldir. Dolayısı ile akran ilişkilerinin bu kısıtlamalardan ne düzeyde etkilendiğinin belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bu nedenle araştırmanın amacı, Covid-19 salgını sürecinde spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin akran ilişkilerini incelemektir. Tarama modelinde yürütülen bu araştırmanın örneklemini, İnönü Üniversitesi spor bilimleri fakültesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 160 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilere online olarak, Kaner (2000) tarafından geliştirilen akran ilişkileri ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada ikili grup karşılaştırmaları için bağımsız örneklem t testi, ikiden fazla grup karşılaştırmaları için tek yönlü ANOVA testi kullanılmış, anlamlılık düzeyi <.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, Covid-19 salgını sürecinde spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin cinsiyete göre güven ve özdeşim ve sadakat alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir fark olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sınıf düzeyine göre, güven ve özdeşim ve kendini açma ve bağlılık alt boyutlarında, 2. sınıf öğrencileri lehine bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Spor yapma durumuna göre ise, spor yapan öğrencilerin lehine güven ve özdeşim, kendini açma ve sadakat alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir fark olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
