The high expense of genotype determination and the low accuracy of the evaluation in a small number of genotyped samples when using genomic data and genetic markers to perform genomic evaluations are two major problems. The effect of levels of genetic markers in an F2 population obtained from Two-way crossing of native Iran chicken with low growth rate and Arian meat strain with high growth rate was investigated in this study in order to isolate SNPs with higher effect and use these markers in genomic evaluation as a suitable method of screening SNPs in order to increase the accuracy of the evaluation and reduce genotyping costs. In this study, the prediction accuracy of correction values in five marker groups with various MAFs was studied in addition to demonstrating the superiority of the ssGBLUP approach over the BLUP method from the 5-fold cross-validation (CV) method in the single-step assessment strategy. This group of markers (MAF 0.4 - 0.5) was introduced as the best level of allelic frequency to perform genomic evaluations for the growth trait after the results showed that using SNPs with an allelic frequency of 0.4-0.5 in each of the second to seventh weeks showed higher predictive accuracy than the information of all SNPs. In addition to enforcing a low genotype cost, using SNPs with an allelic frequency of 0.4–0.5 and developing low-density SNP chips with markers with the aforementioned properties can be utilized to reliably evaluate individuals based on genetic merit.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the current study was to elaborate the effect of dietary supplementation of Nannochloropsis on gene expression and metabolic profile of immune and antioxidant markers in growing Barki lambs. Sixty apparently healthy growing Barki lambs were enrolled in this study. Lambs were randomly allocated into two equal groups (30 lambs each). The first group considered control group, whereas the second group supplemented with commercially available Nannochloropsis powder for subsequent 30 days. Supplementation of growing lambs with Nannochloropsis could modulate gene expression profile of immune and antioxidant markers. Levels of immune (IL1B, IL2, Il6, IL8, RANTES, NFKB, MASP2 and TNFα) and antioxidant (SOD3, GPX4, PRDX2, and Nrf2) genes expression were significantly up-regulated in lambs supplemented with Nannochloropsis at day 30 than control and day 15. There was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the serum concentrations of SOD, CAT, TAC, GPx, NO, GSH, lysozyme activity, TNF-α, IL1, IL-6 and IgA with significant decrease in MDA level in supplemented group in relation to control ones. While IgG and IgM levels were not significantly (P > 0.05) differed among the tested groups. The results herein confirm that there was profound immunological, antioxidant alterations associated with dietary supplementation of Nannochloropsis in growing Barki lambs. Gene expression and serum profiles may serve as stand-in markers for immunological status monitoring and the development of an efficient management strategy for enhancing the health of growing Barki lambs.

Background Child mortality in Kenya is 41 per 1,000 live births, despite extensive investment in maternal, newborn, and child health interventions. Caregivers’ health-seeking for childhood illness is an important determinant of child survival, and delayed healthcare is associated with high child mortality. We explore determinants of health-seeking decisions for childhood illnesses among caregivers in western Kenya. Methods We conducted a qualitative study of 88 community members between April 2017 and February 2018 using purposive sampling in an informal urban settlement in Kisumu County, and in rural Siaya County. Key informant interviews, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were performed. We adopted the Partners for Applied Social Sciences model focusing on factors that influence the decision-making process to seek healthcare for sick infants and children. The discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed. Data management was completed on Nvivo® software. Iterative analysis process was utilized and themes were identified and collated. Results Our findings reveal four thematic areas: Illness interpretation, the role of social relationship on illness recognition and response, medical pluralism and healthcare access. Participants reported some illnesses are caused by supernatural powers and some by biological factors, and that the illness etiology would determine the health-seeking pathway. It was common to seek consensus from respected community members on the diagnosis and therefore presumed cause and necessary treatment for a child’s illness. Medical pluralism was commonly practiced and caregivers would alternate between biomedicine and traditional medicine. Accessibility of healthcare may determine the health seeking pathway. Caregivers unable to afford biomedical care may choose traditional medicine as a cheaper alternative. Conclusion Health seeking behavior was driven by illness interpretation, financial cost associated with healthcare and advice from extended family and community. These findings enrich the perspectives of health education programs to develop health messages that address factors that hinder prompt health care seeking.

Abstract. In 2025, forecasts indicate that Asian companies, especially from China and India, will dominate the IPO market. Understanding global capital cost drivers is essential, particularly as energy sector costs increase. Research highlights that superior accounting information can narrow the investor-management gap, reducing equity and debt. This study investigates the impact of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) volatility, Research and Development (R&D) investment, and earnings management on cost of capital, considering the potential moderating effect of agency costs. The analysis includes 1,565 observations across 313 firms from 2018 to 2022, focusing on the energy sector in China, India, the United States, and Indonesia. The study uses panel data regression to examine the relationships between OCI volatility, R&D investment, earnings management, and cost of capital, focusing on agency costs’ moderating role. Initial findings reveal that earnings management significantly and negatively influences cost of capital. Further, R&D investments in China and Indonesia show a negative and significant impact on cost of capital, contrary to positive and significant findings in India and the United States. Companies are advised to sustain efficient, future-oriented project selections. Keywords: OCI Volatility, R&D investment, earnings management, agency cost, cost of capital

AUSTRIA’S POLICY TOWARDS IMMIGRATION AND EU IMMIGRATION POLICY
Austria’s migration policy has changed over the past years. The analysis of contemporary immigration processes taking place in Austria is not only an interesting, but also a very dynamic issue. The mentioned changes had an influence on internal situation of the country, as well as on the attitude towards the EU migration policy. The aim of the analysis will be to diagnose the main line of Austrian policy towards contemporary migration processes. The research goal was to indicate the nature of changes in Austria’s policy towards immigration and their causes. The analysis concerned both the internal dimension and Austria’s activity on the European forum. The thesis was accepted that these two levels are interconnected, and Austria’s attitude towards the EU immigration policy is a reflection of the changes that can be observed in the state’s internal policy. The article first presents the stages of shaping Austria’s internal immigration policy, and then the state’s attitude towards the EU proposals to solve the so-called migration issue. With regard to the second issue, the focus was on two elements: the European Union’s response to the events related to the outbreak of the migration crisis and the work on a new pact on migration and asylum, undertaken in connection with the abandonment of the forced relocation program.

THE CZECH REPUBLIC IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: 20 YEARS OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE EYES OF THE CZECH SOCIETY
The Czech Republic has been a member of the European Union since 2004. Accession was decided by the country’s citizens in a referendum in 2003, with more than 77% of voters approving of this move in international politics. Over time, the Czech public’s assessment of the European Union and its actions has become increasingly critical, which has become apparent in opinion polls. The number of those dissatisfied with the functioning of the EU at the turn of the first decade even exceeded the number of those satisfied. The Czechs were positive about the EU’s environmental, security or cultural activities, while they were negative about the euro and its possible introduction from around 2009. The reasons for this can be traced to important international events that were also noticeable in the Czech Republic (financial crisis of 2008-2010, migration crisis, COVID-19 pandemic). A feature of the country is also the relatively sceptical attitude of political parties towards European integration, which was also significant.

CHANNEL ISLANDS TOWARDS THE VISION OF INDEPENDENCE
As a result of the events that occurred in Catalonia in 2017, the independence aspirations of nations, territories and the authorities of certain regions have become a more frequently analysed topic. The formation of new states is not a short and easy process. In addition, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the international community in order for the new state to function smoothly in its relations with other subjects of international law. In recent years, also in the context of the Channel Islands, discussions have arisen about their possible independence. Within this small archipelago there are dependent territories: The Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey, within which there are two other jurisdictions of Alderney and Sark. Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU), which occurred as a result of the June 23, 2016 referendum, also affected the situation in its dependent territories.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION OF SENATE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LEGITIMACY OF ITS EXISTENCE
The aim of the article is to analyse the prevailing views on the constitutional position of the Senate of the Republic of Poland. Attention was paid to the powers of the analysed body, its constitutional status, as well as its real impact on the functioning of the state. An important feature in this regard is the reflection on the purposefulness of the existence of this body in the context of its current competences. Both the views on the science of law and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Tribunal will be analysed. The formal-dogmatic method was used in the article. It seems that the legitimacy of the existence of the Senate in the context of the current Constitution is at least substantively questionable. Therefore, according to the authors, the extension of the powers of the Senate should be considered. Then the functioning of a bicameral parliament in a unitary state would be substantively justified.

THE EVOLUTION OF ITALIAN FOREIGN POLICY AFTER RUSSIA’S AGGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE: INTERNAL AND GEOPOLITICAL ASPECTS
Russia’s aggression against Ukraine led to an evolution in Italian foreign policy and a move away from the hitherto pragmatic relationship with Moscow. Rome has ensured full support for the EU, NATO and US strategy towards the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, both by implementing sanctions against Russia, moving away from energy supplies from Russian sources, and providing strong political (EU membership) and military support for Ukraine. It has done this despite the reluctant attitude of much of the political class and society (pacifism, anti-American and pro-Russian sentiments). The impossibility of further “privileged cooperation” with Russia, and the need to diversify the supply of energy sources, has forced the Italian government to pay more attention to the “enlarged Mediterranean” region, where Italy’s main political and economic interests are concentrated (security, energy sources, immigration control, trade routes). This implies a more dynamic interpretation of Italy’s international role and a new security formula in the area.

GERMANY’S FEMINIST FOREIGN POLICY IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE
The concept of a feminist foreign policy, which aims, among others, to counteract all forms of discrimination, inequality and gender stereotypes against women around the world, has been gaining in importance over the past few years. The first countries that decided to adopt its theoretical principles into political practice were Sweden and Canada. When Annalena Baerbock assumed the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2021, Germany joined this group as well. The diplomatic strategy towards women she announced, based on rights, resources, representation and diversity, constitutes the new orientation of German foreign policy. The goal of the article is to present the origins and definition of Feminist Foreign Policy, the principles of this concept presented by Auswärtiges Amt, the examples of the activities within the scope of the feminist foreign policy undertaken in Germany so far, as well as the analysis of the challenges related to implementing its main themes, especially in the face of the Russia-Ukraine war.

THE CONCEPT AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF STRATEGIC AUTONOMY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION: THE EXAMPLE OF SPACE POLICY
The author of the article addresses the issue of strategic autonomy of the European Union. He points out the origin of the term in French defence policy and its further evolution into the open strategic autonomy within the European Union. The author then analyses the development of the various elements of the EU Space Strategy, and consequently attempts to answer the question of whether and to what extent, in light of past experience, the European Union, is able to become autonomous in the field of its activity in space. The author concludes that the European Union does not, as yet, have the full capacity to develop its competence in space security and defence on its own. Meanwhile, Europe should both as the EU and NATO significantly expand its strategic space capabilities with the goal of moving closer to becoming an equal partner, but not a rival, to the United States. It should become fully independent of a self-isolating Russia, and ensure its autonomy from new Asian space powers like China and India. Unlike Russia, this does not preclude cooperation in the scientific field or the prudent use and provision of commercial services.
Customer Engagement Prediction on Social Media: A Graph Neural Network Method
Authors: Ma Tengteng , Hu Yuheng , Lu Yingda , Bhattacharyya Siddhartha
Published: September 2024

With the rapid prevalence and massive user growth of social media platforms, efficiently targeting potential customers on these platforms has grown in importance for companies. Enhancing the likelihood that a social media user will engage with brand posts holds profound implications for online marketing strategy design. However, predicting customer engagement on social media comes with its own set of challenges. In this work, we design a graph neural network model called the graph neural network with attention mechanism for customer engagement (GACE) to predict customer engagement (like/comment/share) of brand posts. We exploit large-scale content consumption information from the perspective of heterogeneous networks and learn latent customer representation by developing a graph neural network model. We examine GACE using a large-scale Facebook data set, and the comprehensive results show significant performance improvement over state-of-the-art baselines. Furthermore, we conduct an interpretability analysis, which sheds some light on the explanation of the proposed model. To illustrate the practical significance of our work, we provide examples to quantify the economic value of improved predictive power using a cost-revenue analysis in the context of targeted marketing.
Shareholder Activism and the Deterrence Effect of Democratic Politician Shareholders
Authors: DesJardine Mark R. , Shi Wei , Werner Timothy
Published: September 2024

Firms strategically establish political connections in the hopes of obtaining access to resources and opportunities controlled by the state. However, little is known about benefits that may accrue to firms from ties with politician shareholders. We explore potential spillover benefits of such ties in the context of financially motivated shareholder activism (“financial activism”). Specifically, we examine whether financial activists are deterred from targeting firms owned by Democratic politicians, who tend to adopt a more interventionist and stakeholder-oriented stance toward economic regulation than Republicans. Based upon an analysis of S&P 1500 firms over a 15-year period, we find that the number of Democratic politician shareholders is negatively associated with a firm’s likelihood of being targeted by a financial activist. This relationship is stronger when Democratic politician shareholders are more publicly prominent and when firms have more Democratic-leaning boards. Our study shows that the benefits firms derive from politician shareholders spill over beyond the business-government interface into the domain of corporate governance.

The role and ftinction of Psychiatric nurses in Community Mental Health Setting
Authors: Kim SoYaJa
Published: September 2024

In the 30 years following world warll, major changes in concepts of mental health and provision of mental health services have been apparent.These trends are a product of social ideologies, changing public opinion, fiscial conditions, and new technologies. Deinstitutionalization of mental patients was a movement that aims j:o minimize the amount of care provided in institutional settings and to increase the care provided by outpatient agencies in the community. Case management has been defined as a systematic process of assessment, planning, service coordination and /or referral, and monitoring through which the multiple service needs of clients are met.Nurses are the most qualified professionals to provide case management services to the chronically mentally ill who are living in the community. Case management optimizes the clienfs self-care capability and provides for quality health care along a continuum, decreases the fragmentation of care, improves the client’s quality of life, and provides for cost containment by the prevention of unnecessary duplication of services or institutionalization. The nurse case manager is the bridge linking community services with those provided by the mental health clinics. Each nurse case manager will act as provider of services in her field of expertise, as well as coordinator of those services provided by others.

The purpose of this study is to establish and to practice the effective nursing care, to improve the nursing activites and the bedside of nursing.During the past few years many studies have remarked that nurse spend less and less time at the bedside, largely because they have been busy with other time-consuming activities such as charting notes.If charting time could be reduces, the nurses would have more time for the patients.Yet clear, concise, and accurate charting is essential.We decided to review nursing recording methods.Firstly, we identified that nursing record contents and pattens in recent years through 30 charts of nursing record of the psychiatric wards, in three of university hospitals. Most of that was descriptive and repeated which we confirmed. Also the data was devided by meaning and content. We developed our work with record of the behavior observation record.24 of psychiatric nurse specialists found the content validity with high score.From 1995, July 1 to July 3(three days), pre-testing of behaviour observation record tool was done at one of sample psychiatric hospitals.Then it was modified to 14 items by psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses.The 14 items are delow : 1. personal hygiene 2. psychiatrisfs rounding 3. activity therapy 4. walking 5. meals 6. wandering in the ward 7. bed rest 8. ward activity 9. visiting hour 10. interview 11. sleeping 12. laboratory exam 13. consultation to other department 14. special treatment From Aug 1 to 20(20 days), we applied to 50 of inpatient with recorrected tools.There were some limitations which are lack of explanations of need for a special form. For example, acting—out patient, suicide attempt patient, special demending patient and patients in seclusion room. Because of this limitation, we decided to include the old nursing record for more effectivity.Wth this research, some of nurses remarks were :“Very compart and much better than the old form.“Save a lot of time—less waste of paper. w , “New form is more efficient, concise and saves time.

Intertextuality and recontextualization in music: an analysis of songs
Authors: Cruz Fabielle Rocha
Published: September 2024

Critical Discourse Analysis is an area in constant development, especially with the relevance of multimodal texts, which are becoming increasingly frequent due to the presence of technology. Considering the significance of CDA in applied linguistics and other areas, this article aims to present the concepts of intertextuality and recontextualization based on the use of music, considering that many texts are based on other works. With the conceptualization of these two essential elements in the area of Critical Discourse Analysis, as well as the understanding of multimodality as texts that use different modes to converge their meanings, the article presents the analysis of excerpts from three songs to demonstrate the applicability in a context diverse and non-academic, as CDA is commonly attributed to research. The results indicate that some songs create meaning by constructing lyrics with literary, historical, cultural, and journalistic references inserted into the lyrics through recontextualization and intertextuality.
Língua e Sentido: uma perspectiva ecocognitiva
Authors: Duque Paulo Henrique
Published: September 2024

Este estudo investiga a interação entre linguagem e construção de sentidos a partir de uma perspectiva ecocognitiva, destacando como a linguagem transcende suas funções comunicativa e simbólica para influenciar a percepção e o comportamento humanos. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e três estudos de caso, demonstramos como sentidos evocados por pistas linguísticas se adaptam e se modificam em variados contextos. Os resultados sugerem que o processo de construção de sentidos é intrinsecamente dinâmico e está profundamente enraizado nas interações entre o indivíduo e seu ambiente, desafiando modelos semânticos tradicionais e apontando para uma visão mais integrada da cognição humana.
Mestiçagens do processo ibérico e brasileiro: Al-Andalus, (im)permeabilidade linguística como paradigma geopolítico e colonialidade
Authors: Gruber Gabriel D.
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo propõe repensar a categoria da linguagem perante seu papel na geopolítica da formação dos Estados-nações Brasil e Portugal. Para isso, dissertamos a respeito das categorias de contatos linguísticos propostas por Zinkhahn Rhobodes (2015) em contraste com a perspectiva de DeGraff (2005) sobre a não excepcionalidade do processo de crioulização. Adotamos o giro decolonial como metodologia e imperativo ético de fugir do eurocentrismo científico-cultural, de modo que buscamos redimensionar a importância africana no processo da língua brasileira “culta” e da língua portuguesa. Para tanto, a importância científico-cultural e o apagamento da ocupação muçulmana em Al-Andalus são tratados como paradigmas linguísticos.
Perdoo, mas nunca esqueço: os efeitos de memória na música Latinoamerica
Authors: Pelayes Geicilayne Tavares , Tavares Kelly Christhyne Lins , Lins Sheyla Jayane Tavares
Published: September 2024

O antagonismo da luta de classes é pressuposto fundamental desta análise que aborda os efeitos de memória materializados no discurso. Partindo do pressuposto de que há uma relação inseparável entre língua, história e ideologia, uma vez que o sujeito é produzido pela ideologia e só existe como resultado de processos de interpelação ideológica, as materialidades discursivas analisadas aqui remetem ao antagonismo de classes e foram retiradas da música Latinoamerica da dupla Calle 13. Definimos como campo referencial a luta de classes a partir dos efeitos de memória do que nomeamos por formação discursiva (FD) da resistência. Com base nesse pressuposto, buscamos compreender como os processos discursivos que se repetem nos países que formam a América Latina fundem-se por meio de distintas formações ideológicas.
Tradução do artigo “O mito urbano: um questionamento crítico do imaginário sociolinguístico das cidades como espaços de diversidade”
Authors: Macedo Anderson Lucas da Silva
Published: September 2024

Tradução do artigo The Urban Myth: A critical interrogation of the sociolinguistic imagining of cities as spaces of diversity, de Britta Schneider, que explora como o conceito de "cidade" é interpretado nas pesquisas sociolinguísticas contemporâneas, destacando seu papel como centro de multilinguismo e diversidade. A análise revela que, em vez de o espaço urbano em si influenciar o uso linguístico, são os laços sociais e discursos associados a esse espaço que desempenham um papel crucial. Estudos de caso mostram que tanto a diversidade quanto a homogeneidade linguística em ambientes urbanos estão interligadas a práticas político-econômicas e histórias translocais. O texto sugere que as elites sociais, frequentemente associadas a ambientes urbanos, tendem a reproduzir formas normativas e homogêneas de linguagem. A popularidade do conceito urbano na sociolinguística é interpretada como uma consequência do desejo de substituir a ideia de um território nacional monolíngue por uma visão urbana multilíngue. O estudo conclui que o apelo da urbanidade pode estar contribuindo para a perpetuação de uma visão idealizada da cidade na pesquisa.
A TECNOLOGIA EM SALA DE AULA: UM APLICATIVO COMO PROPOSTA DIDÁTICA PARA O TRABALHO COM O GÊNERO CONTO / /TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM: AN APP AS A DIDACTIC PROPOSAL FOR WORKING WITH THE SHORT STORY GENRE
Authors: Ruiz Lima Priscila Juliana , Da Cunha Malheiros Santana Andréia
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo apresenta uma proposta didática aplicada em 2023 em uma turma de nono ano – Ensino Fundamental – da rede pública estadual do Paraná. Esta proposta didática teve como produto educacional um aplicativo, intitulado “Contemos”, que trabalhou com contos, abordando tanto a perspectiva teórica como a prática. O aplicativo trabalhou com quatro contos. Neste artigo, o foco será na estrutura do aplicativo, no desenvolvimento da parte teórica e na leitura proposta para o conto O barril de amontillado, (Poe, 2019). Tal aplicativo foi utilizado como suporte para o trabalho desenvolvido com a literatura e articulou a linguagem, o estudo do gênero conto, sua forma composicional e seu caráter fruidor. Essa pesquisa-ação (Thiollent, 2011) teve como objetivo verificar as potencialidades do aplicativo para o trabalho com contos visando à leitura, reflexão e produção de textos em ferramentas digitais de aprendizagem. No decorrer do artigo, serão apresentados brevemente alguns fundamentos teóricos a respeito da linguagem (Bakhtin, 2003), algumas considerações a respeito do conto e suas particularidades (Cortázar, 1993) e a forma como as tecnologias digitais podem subsidiar a prática pedagógica, partindo de uma abordagem colaborativa e interativa (Coll e Monereo, 2010). Os usos efetivos do aplicativo “Contemos” nos permitem assegurar que o trabalho com a tecnologia em sala de aula só se sustenta quando as ferramentas digitais são mediadoras da relação entre professores, alunos e conteúdos e quando a natureza das atividades propostas estimula a aprendizagem significativa.
