The increase in incorrect posture in the daily lifestyle of many individuals has led to numerous issues. Of these, lower back pain is recognized as the most common posture-related medical condition. Existing effective solutions for posture-related issues are complex to use, and are diverse in nature, ranging from the identification of the problem to the correction of posture. In this research, an attempt was made to provide an effective solution in the form of a short sleeve undershirt with carefully designed extensible structures matching the required reinforcement for different segments of the spine. The additional functionality of the proposed garment was verified through proper scientific testing using sEMG. The correction mechanism utilizes a combination of sensory tension applied to the wearer and the reinforcement of the spine with a specially made backbone structure attached to a custom-made garment. Woven narrow bands and warp knitted fabrics were used in the garment. The backbone structure is strategically placed on the garment to control the specific muscles related to correct postural balance. It was found that the garment reduces the activation of certain back muscles and promotes voluntary posture correction.

Published: July 2024

Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest rice consumption in the world. The strategic value of rice places it as a commodity contributing to inflation. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between rice prices and the inflation rate in Indonesia and to analyze the role of rice prices in the inflation rate in Indonesia. The rice price and inflation rate data used are secondary data with monthly periods obtained from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, Bulog (The National Logistics Agency), Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Trade, FAO and United States Department of Agriculture, and the United States Census Bureau. The analysis was carried out using Granger Causality and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) utilized by the E-Views application. The Granger Causality test results show a causality relationship between rice prices and the inflation rate in Indonesia with a bi-directional causality pattern. We also found a long-run relationship. Impulse Response Function shows that shock in the rice prices will affect inflation throughout the sixth month until it converges and is stable. In line with the results of the Impulse Response Function, analysis of Variance Decomposition shows that changes in rice prices play a role in explaining the difference in the inflation rate of 2,77%.

Published: July 2024

Agribusiness micro and small industries (MSI) have contributions in economic and social aspects. Financial institutions provide facilities and products to increase the accessibility of capital for Agribusiness MSIs. This study aims to analyze the influence of banks and non-bank financial institutions on the growth of micro and small food and non-food agribusiness industries. This study uses secondary data from potential village surveys in 2018 and 2022 with 82,900 villages in Indonesia annually. Data were analyzed using the Fixed Effect Model in Stata 15.0 software. The results show that four variables significantly positively affect Agribusiness MSIs: non-bank financial institutions (savings and loan cooperatives), electricity index, infrastructure and distribution index, and telecommunications and information index. The disaggregation results based on Agribusiness MSIs sector (food and non-food) show that the food and non-food agribusiness MSIs is positively and significantly influenced by non-bank financial institutions (saving and loan cooperative), the electricity index, as well as the telecommunication and information index. However, bank financial institutions, as well as infrastructure and distribution indexes, only have a significant positive effect on non-food Agribusiness MSIs. Alternative to increasing the number of Agribusiness MSIs units can be done with government support through policies to optimize the role of cooperatives and distribute infrastructure, especially related to telecommunications and information.
Deadline for examining an application for security in Czech and Polish civil proceedings
Authors: Zemandlová Anna , Drozdowicz Krzysztof
Published: July 2024

The article aims to analyse the issue of the deadline for examining an application for security in Czech and Polish civil proceedings. The comparative law method was used in the work. The publication compares normative solutions regarding the deadline for examining an application for security in the Czech Republic and Poland. The article presents an analysis of special solutions used by the legislator in selected cases where it is necessary to schedule a hearing or accelerate the consideration of an application for security. The issue of the consequences of considering an application for security in violation of the deadline set by the legislator is raised. The research conducted allowed the following conclusions to be drawn. In both Polish and Czech civil proceedings, security proceedings are an independent part of the proceedings, separated from enforcement proceedings. In both legal systems, the deadline for examining an application for security is advisory, and exceeding it does not result in any sanctions. In Czech civil proceedings, applications for security are not examined at a hearing, while according to Polish regulations it is obligatory in some cases. In the Czech Republic, there are two types of special security measures for the immediate protection of children and against domestic violence. Polish legislation seems to be more flexible and better protects the procedural rights of the parties than the Czech Code of Civil Procedure. The presented analysis may contribute to the discussion on possible changes in the provisions of civil procedural law in Poland and the Czech Republic.
SPREE estimation of the number of disabled people in terms of economic activity
Authors: Szymkowiak Marcin , Wilak Kamil
Published: July 2024

The creation of equal opportunities in the labour market for people with disability remains a challenge in many countries around the world. The impact of disability, especially when it comes to work opportunities for disabled people, cannot be properly understood without access to the relevant statistics. Information about working-age disabled people is crucial in the development of labour market policy. Such information should be available not only at the national level but also at lower levels of spatial aggregation. The main aim of this article is to propose a way of producing reliable estimates of key labour market indicators (economic activity rate, employment rate and unemployment rate) for working-age disabled people in Poland at the province level. The authors apply SPREE estimation and use data from the Labour Force Survey 2011–2019 (LFS) and the 2011 Census to produce estimates characterized by better precision and stability over time than what can be achieved by applying direct estimation. While the scale of changes in the labour market situation of working-age disabled people was found to be similar to trends observed in the whole working-age population, there are differences in spatial patterns associated with these two groups.

Published: July 2024

Water resource shortage has become an important factor limiting agricultural sustainability in China. In addition, the development and utilization of unconventional water resources are greatly important for alleviating agricultural water resource deficit. The Pakchoi was cultivated by using the surface soil (0–20 cm) from the field in this pot experiment. The experiment lasted for approximately 1 month to study microbial community structure variation under brackish water and reclaimed water irrigation. The 16S rDNA high-throughput assays revealed that soil bacteria mainly consisted of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria at the Phylum level, along with Arenimonas and Nocardioides at the Genus level under mixed irrigation with brackish water and reclaimed water. In summary, irrigation with pure reclaimed water promoted part of microbial communities and irrigation with pure brackish water inhibited the growth and activities of certain microbial communities. We found that mixed irrigation improved the microbial community structure diversity compared with that in response to pure brackish water irrigation, while decreased the community structure diversity compared with that in response to fresh water irrigation and pure reclaimed water irrigation.

ABSTRACT
This research aims to identify ELT lecturers' readiness to implement online learning. This research involved 30 ELT lecturers from three different time zones in Indonesia: the western, middle, and eastern parts of Indonesia. The study employed an explanatory mixed method in which the quantitative stage was conducted prior to the qualitative stage. Drawing on data from questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), the study found that regardless of the learning mode, lecturers' instruction remains similar except for the assessment process. However, this research also found that geographical location, learning materials, internet connection, and affordability contribute to lecturers' preference in selecting learning modes. This research implies that lecturers are ready to embrace the most of online learning; however, the utmost benefit from online learning can only be attained if the supporting systems are available for both lecturers and students.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACTSpeaking is one of the most crucial skills to cultivate and strengthen communication skills. Speaking proficiency is one of the most difficult components of language learning, particularly for those learning a foreign language. Many language learners have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. They frequently struggle with successfully expressing themselves in a new language. They cease communicating due to psychological hurdles or a lack of acceptable words and expressions. The purpose of this study is to investigate students' worries regarding the types of speaking anxiety experiences they have in the classroom. This research employs descriptive qualitative as a research design. Ten EFL students participated as participants, and the researcher used thematic analysis techniques to analyze the data. The findings of this study reveal that ten EFL students can be said to be anxious about speaking English. Some of them are classified as facilitative anxiety and debilitative anxiety. This study is intended to assist EFL students in considering the speaking demands of their language learners in the context of English language teaching and learning. ABSTRAKBerbicara adalah salah satu keterampilan yang paling penting untuk mengembangkan dan memperkuat kemampuan komunikasi.

A Phenomenological Study of EFL Teachers’ Experiences in Putting Multiliteracy Pedagogy through Online Teaching
Authors: Handrayani Dina , Suryati Nunung , Astuti Utari Praba
Published: July 2024

This research explored the implementation of multiliteracy pedagogy during online teaching in higher education. A qualitative method was used with interviews, observation, and document analysis. Five EFL teachers who taught reading and writing courses were the participants. Findings showed that the teachers utilized strategies in the class during online learning, like integrating students' prior knowledge with the new material, using students' and teachers' center methods, creating strategies to build students' critical thinking, and giving students projects. However, in scaffolding dimensions, some teachers argued that face-to-face learning was the more appropriate way to maximize scaffolding. Adapting the framework of the New London Group (1996), Kalantzis and Cope (2005), and Cope and Kalantzis (2015), the result indicated that five EFL teachers implemented multiliteracy pedagogy by using different strategies: creating an enjoyable environment in situated practice, utilizing many multimodalities in overt instruction, building students' critical thinking in critical framing, and existing knowledge and skills into students' project in transformed practice, and others. Based on the results, several suggestions will be valuable to future researchers: integrating multiliteracy pedagogy into other courses and investigating multiliteracy pedagogy in online and face-to-face learning.

Listening is primarily needed for meetings, speaking for explaining work progress, reading emails, and writing for composing emails. The most challenging situations for using English are listening in meetings, speaking to provide information or during phone conversations, reading emails, and writing emails. The findings suggest a focused approach to English learning, addressing specific challenges such as enhancing listening and speaking skills and improving tasks like explaining work outcomes and writing emails.
Análisis contrastivo de la encapsulación fórica en checo y español basado en corpus de sentencias jurídicas
Authors: Pešková Jana
Published: July 2024

Contrastive analysis of phoric encapsulation in Czech and Spanish based on corpus of legal sentences. The article aims to examine the typology of textual cohesion mechanisms in Spanish and Czech, especially in legal texts of the Court of Justice of the European Union. It focuses on the phenomenon of phoric encapsulation, a cohesive mechanism which consists of condensing and summarising preceding (anaphoric encapsulation) or following (cataphoric encapsulation) textual segments. The typology of phoric encapsulation is explored, distinguishing between grammatical and lexical elements. The function of grammatical proforms such as pronouns and adverbs, as well as nominal syntagms and connectors, is detailed. In view of the terminological variety related to the concept, the term phoric encapsulation is proposed and translation strategies from Spanish into Czech are analysed, using a corpus of legal texts. The topic is approached from a contrastive perspective, assessing whether the distribution and typology of encapsulation mechanisms are maintained in translation. Questions are raised about translators’ perception of these elements and the possible modification of their semantics in the translation process. Translational patterns are classified, focusing on changes in semantics such as explicitation, recategorisation or implicitation. The analysis of judgments of the Court of Justice of the EU in Spanish and their translation into Czech reveals the presence of encapsulators in stereotypical constructions, common in the legal genre. The tendency towards a certain literalness in translation, especially in the preservation of the semantics of encapsulators, is highlighted. A close relationship is observed between encapsulation and the use of discourse markers, evidencing grammatical patterns in the Czech translation.

„Für Zucker ist er zu dumm, der kann studieren!“, so wird die Äußerung der Seniorin eines Hamburger Handelshauses kolportiert. Offensichtlich brachte ein solches Umfeld der Wissenschaft nicht gerade besondere Wertschätzung entgegen. Dennoch gelang es Senator Werner von Melle, bei vielen vorausschauenden Hamburgern eine Summe von knapp vier Millionen Mark einzusammeln, so dass am 12. April 1907 die Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung ins Leben treten konnte. Der „Basisband“ der Reihe „Mäzene für Wissenschaft“, würdigt in Kurzbiographien alle Persönlichkeiten, die sich in der Gründungsphase der Stiftung für diese engagiert haben, sei es nun finanziell oder durch Mitarbeit im Kuratorium. Viele von ihnen sind weit über Hamburg hinaus bekannt geworden, andere jedoch vollständig in Vergessenheit geraten. Eingeleitet wird das Buch durch den Essay „Aktuelle Vergangenheit“, der die Begründer der Stiftung in den kulturellen und wissenschaftspolitischen Kontext Hamburgs um die Jahrhundertwende einbettet.

O impacto dos institutos federais nos arranjos produtivos locais através da inovação tecnológica
Authors: Brito Ricardo , Lima Sanches Keila
Published: July 2024

Os Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFs) são instituições públicas que oferecem educação profissional e tecnológica, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento regional por meio do Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão. Esta pesquisa analisa as contribuições do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí (IFPI) para os APLs no Estado. A metodologia incluiu uma revisão de literatura descrevendo conceitos e características dos APLs e o papel dos IFs no desenvolvimento regional, além de analisar documentos para mapear os APLs no Piauí e identificar a sua contribuição. Os resultados mostram um número reduzido de APLs no Piauí, concentrados principalmente nas regiões norte e meio-norte. Observou-se também um baixo volume de publicações acadêmicas sobre APLs e a atuação dos IFs no desenvolvimento regional, além da pouca divulgação das ações estratégicas dos IFs. O estudo sugere a necessidade de autoavaliação pelos IFs em termos de efetividade e publicidade de suas ações estratégicas, e oferece insights para a formulação de estratégias institucionais que fortaleçam a cooperação e estimulem o desenvolvimento econômico regional junto aos APLs.

Light pollution as a factor of influence on humans and the environment
Authors: Kurochkina Valentina , Zhiryakova Alyona
Published: July 2024

The invention of Thomas Edison opened a new era in the development of mankind. It influenced many spheres of life: it led to breakthroughs in the electric power industry, changed the approach to construction and design, gave impetus to the development of enterprises, allowed a person to independently build his day, regardless of the time of day, and also ensured his safety. However, the increase in the number of large cities and the development of infrastructure has led to the fact that now the topic of lighting raises more questions related to the negative impact of artificial light sources on both humans and the environment.
The excess of light at night has led to the emergence of such an environmental problem as light pollution. This problem is man-made, its impact is on humans, animals, and plants. Scientific studies show that about 30–40 of the luminous flux from modern lighting devices and installations is superfluous and leads to light pollution. Billboards and architectural lighting make the night city more beautiful, however, this lighting causes both direct and indirect damage to the environment, leads to unnecessary waste of energy, and, accordingly, to financial losses. In addition to the environmental and economic factors of the influence of light pollution, a person is exposed to psychological effects. Insomnia, as a consequence of a violation of the biological cycle, leads to a deterioration in concentration, a decrease in immunity, as well as an increase in irritability and depression.
At the moment, scientists, environmentalists, design engineers, economists and doctors in different countries of the world are studying the problem of light pollution and developing measures to combat it: studies are being conducted on the impact of urban lighting on the overall level of illumination of cities, new types of lighting devices are being developed to reduce their impact on the environment, methods are being developed for the competent placement of light sources in certain territories.
New trends in the functioning of social protection mechanisms
Authors: Karpikova Irina
Published: July 2024

This work is devoted to the characterization and analysis of the most obvious trends emerging in the last few years in the field of social protection and reflecting changes in the mechanisms of its implementation. The analysis of scientific works in the field of social protection made it possible to identify and characterize the following main social protection mechanisms: social insurance; social security; social services; social support and assistance. In order to identify trends in the development of social protection mechanisms, the author reviewed the social protection measures introduced and implemented in recent years. The systematization and analysis of these measures were carried out on the basis of materials from an online survey conducted by the author of 28 experts in the field of social protection and social work from among researchers and teachers of higher education representing 19 cities of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the materials of the expert survey, scientific publications and statistical indicators made it possible to form a list of measures in the field of social protection that have appeared in recent years. These include: payment of maternity capital in connection with the birth of the first child; a single monthly allowance for families with children; preferential mortgage loans; social contract; active longevity programs; long-term care system; accompanied accommodation; introduction of digital technologies in the field of social protection. A review of the social protection measures mentioned by experts and considered in the scientific literature, which have appeared in recent years within the framework of the activities of the sphere of social protection and related branches of social orientation, allows us to draw some conclusions and conclusions concerning the trends in the development of social protection mechanisms. The analysis of these measures made it possible to assess their focus on solving acute socio-demographic problems. The systematization of the analyzed social protection measures has shown a tendency for the predominant development of social protection mechanisms in the field of social services, social support and assistance, which makes it possible to ensure the necessary standard of living for the population. A significant decrease in the role of social insurance mechanisms, taking into account the labor contribution of beneficiaries of social protection, has been revealed.
A nők szerepe az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia fegyveres erejének kötelékében az első világháború időszakában
Authors: Molnár Zoltán
Published: July 2024

A Nagy Háború idején korábban soha nem tapasztalt mértékben került sor a hátország bevonására, különösen a nők mozgósítására. A háborús erőfeszítéseket támogató tevékenységük azonban nem korlátozódott csupán a hazájukra, a hátországra, ugyanis egyre többen kerültek közülük segéderőként, haditudósítóként való alkalmazásra a hadszíntereken. Sőt jó néhányan a fegyveres küzdelmekben is részt vettek. A tanulmányban a nők az osztrák–magyar hadszíntereken betöltött szerepét vizsgálom meg, bemutatva hősiességüket és áldozatvállalásukat, illetve azt, hogy sokszor a társadalom és a férfiak ellenállásával is meg kellett küzdeniük.
History of the Dental Cement
Authors: Spielman Andrew I. , Forrai Judit

The history of adhesives in dentistry dates back to the first millennium when Mayans used to attach semiprecious stones to teeth as dental jewellery. The first dental cement was introduced in 1796 and, as demand for esthetics and bonding strength increased, was perfected throughout the next 150 years. Since 1955, new adhesives using bonding agents have been developed.

Published: July 2024

The dental mirror stands as an essential instrument within the realm of dental examinations and interventions. Its primary function is to render the structures, organs, and teeth within the oral cavity visible from all three dimensions, facilitating a comprehensive assessment. Concurrently, it keeps the tongue, buccal tissues, and oral mucosa away from the working area, ensuring optimal visibility and access. Additionally, the dental mirror boasts the capability to illuminate dark or obscured regions, further enhancing the clinician's ability to conduct thorough evaluations and procedures with precision.

Keresztény növényszimbólumok vizsgálata és tájépítészeti alkalmazásuk lehetőségei
Authors: Karácsony Lenke
Published: July 2024

A növény a tájépítész szemében színekből, textúrából, habitusból és élettani igényekből áll, ezzel szemben a keresztény középkor – és később a reneszánszon át egészen a barokkig – a növényt és virágát, mint lélekkel rendelkező, a testi valóságnál többet megidéző képződményt kezelte. Mondhatni emberként: fizikai tulajdonságait rávetítette az emberi természetre és hasonló módon értelmezte azokat. A növények ilyen módon történő megszemélyesítésével alakultak ki a növényszimbólumok.
A paródiáról az első szlovén eposzparódia tükrében: Csokonai és Simon Jenko
Authors: Bakonyi Gergely László
Published: July 2024

A műfajkutatás eredményei elengedhetetlenek ahhoz, hogy az irodalomról beszélni tudjunk. Nehézsége abban áll, hogy a kutatás folyamatosan, dinamikusan változó kategóriákra irányul, a műfajok transzformálódnak. A műfajokat a szövegkapcsolatok metaforájaként értelmezve tehát a vizsgált rendszer nyitott, ennek egyik oka, hogy a szövegek a befogadás folyamatába ágyazottak.
A gyógyszerészet lehetséges közeljövője és a szakmatörténet 2024 májusából nézve
Authors: Dobson Szabolcs
Published: July 2024

Az alábbiakban most, 2024. 05. 19-én kísérletet teszek arra, hogy a „jövőbe nézzek”. Húsz-huszonöt év múlva érdekes lehet ezt a rövid írást visszaolvasni. Ha valamennyire igazam lesz azért, ha pedig tévedek, azért. Meglátásom szerint az elkövetkező kb 20-25 év paradigmaváltást fog hozni a szakmában. A mai huszon-harmincévesek még nem fognak nyugdíjba menni, mikor olyan patikákban és feladatkörökben dolgoznak, amelyek pl. a mai Gyógyszerészi Kamara és sokak szerint pokolbéli víziók.
Del patrimonio territorial eurocentrado al patrimonio-territorial decolonial. Giro epistémico desde el Sur
Authors: Batista da Costa Everaldo
Published: July 2024

Este trabajo teórico tiene el objetivo de confrontar dos debates sobre el patrimonio desarrollados en los dos lados del Atlántico (Europa y Latinoamérica), respectivamente, el patrimonio territorial (eurocentrado) y el patrimonio-territorial (decolonial). Metodológicamente, (1) explica el origen del concepto “patrimonio territorial” (elaborado por el geógrafo español J. Ortega Valcárcel y el urbanista italiano A. Magnaghi; (2) presenta el concepto “patrimonio-territorial” latinoamericano (propuesto por el geógrafo brasileño E. B. Costa); y (3) reconoce las derivaciones analíticas hechas por otros autores, a partir de las dos propuestas originales. Además de aclarar la frontera entre las dos perspectivas (de matrices epistémicas y praxis distintas), el estudio defiende un giro de pensamiento sobre los sitios vulnerabilizados y sujetos subalternizados y humillados en la larga duración formativa-territorial de los países latinoamericano.

Authors: Severiano Hernández Mónica , Hernández Sánchez María Isabel , Illescas Palma Gisela , García Denisse
Published: July 2024

Ante las complejidades de un sistema patriarcal, antropocentrista y capitalista, las organizaciones campesinas generan estrategias de vida basadas en la comunidad, la solidaridad y en relaciones armónicas con la naturaleza. Tal es el caso, de la organización campesina cafetalera Vinculación y Desarrollo Agroecológica en Café (VIDA) ubicada en Veracruz, México. VIDA a través de su aproximación a la agroecología como práctica y movimiento social ha construido estrategias de vida para su resiliencia ante factores externos. Se realizó un análisis sobre distribución del esfuerzo, composición de ingreso y vinculación a redes de intercambio, donde, se identificó que las estrategias que sostienen a las familias campesinas cafetaleras se caracterizan por: vinculación socioeconómica a nivel familiar y organizativa, participación de mujeres y juventudes, y diversificación de redes de comercialización.

Las monedas complementarias, también llamadas cuasimonedas, son instrumentos alternativos a la moneda soberana que pueden colaborar con el desarrollo territorial local. Tomando como caso de estudio a la ciudad de Dina Huapi (Río Negro, Argentina), identificamos el rol clave del gobierno local en la creación de un sistema complementario en el contexto de la crisis del COVID-19. Describimos como la implementación de esta herramienta ha servido en el objetivo de dinamizar la economía local, manejar de forma efectiva fondos públicos y constituirse como una herramienta de fiscalización innovadora.
Safeguarding the Rights of Children Living in Kinship Care in South Africa
Authors: Kruger Hanneretha
Published: July 2024

By the early 2000s the practice of using the foster care system as a measure to subsidise the income of families who cared for the children of relatives was firmly entrenched in South Africa. This caused a rapid rise in the number of children receiving the foster child grant. By 2010 more than 500 000 foster child grants (FCGs) were in payment. The foster care system could not cope with this pressure, resulting in the lapsing of more than 110 000 foster child grants between April 2009 and March 2011. The High Court intervened at the request of the Centre for Child Law in Pretoria, placing a moratorium on the lapsing of foster care orders and giving the Department of Social Development (DSD) until December 2014 to come up with a "comprehensive legal solution" to solve the foster care crisis. The December 2014 deadline was extended four times, eventually until December 2022. The "comprehensive legal solution" that the North Gauteng High Court tasked the minister with in 2011 required amendments to both the Social Assistance Act 13 of 2004 and the Children's Act 38 of 2005. The first of these amendments, the Social Assistance Amendment Act 16 of 2020, came into effect on 30 May 2022 and the second, the Children's Amendment Act 17 of 2022, on 8 November 2023. This article considers the question whether the department's response to the so-called "foster care crisis" as contained in these Amendment Acts and their regulations complies with South Africa's obligations in terms of international law and the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996.
