Reflective Practice to Foster Critical Thinking among Students
Authors: Tlale-Mkhize Moretlo , Liebenberg Janet
Published: December 2024

A dynamic approach to fostering critical thinking skills has emerged in the arena of education through the integration of reflective practices. The purpose of this study was to explore the central role that reflective practice can play in promoting critical thinking. Critical thinking assists students to question and evaluate their actions. The research also emphasises the importance of reflective practice as a method of tapping into learners' experiences, challenging assumptions and critically analysing their actions. Reflective practice also provides learners with the opportunity to explore their thought processes, consider alternative perspectives and formulate informed decisions, ultimately developing critical skills. This was illustrated by a case study of 24 students enrolled in a diploma in Information Technology at a South African University of Technology. An action research methodology was employed. Action research complements the process of reflective practice because it is iterative in nature. After completing their assignments, the students were requested to fill out a reflective sheet. The collected data were subsequently subjected to content analysis for comprehensive examination and interpretation. The findings indicate that reflective practice enhances students' critical thinking skills.
Stanisława Brzozowskiego wejście w „świat rosyjski”. Kilka refleksji na kanwie powieści „Płomienie"
Authors: Koprowski Piotr
Published: December 2024

Specyficzna postawa i umysłowość polskiego myśliciela, krytyka literackiego, publicysty, pisarza i poety Stanisława Brzozowskiego (1878–1911), znajdujące odzwierciedlenie w powieści Płomienie, stanowiły podstawę, warunek wstępny wejścia twórcy w „świat rosyjski”. Niespełnienie rzeczonego warunku mogłoby oznaczać nawet swoiste zamknięcie owego świata przed Brzozowskim. Nie utożsamiał się on z Rosją carską, przedstawioną w powieści jako martwa struktura, będąca zaprzeczeniem człowieczeństwa, synonimem przemocy i gwałtu. Bliższa była mu Rosja rewolucjonistów dążących do przywrócenia na drodze radykalnych działań swobody i sprawiedliwości, a przy tym czerpiących ze skarbca europejskiej wiedzy i idei. To właśnie z tą Rosją poczuł się związany ideowo i – przynajmniej w jakiejś mierze – poprzez nią i w jej kontekście identyfikował się z realnym „tu i teraz”. Zarówno dla młodych Rosjan-orędowników zmian i przeobrażeń, jak i dla polskiego autora ważnym punktem odniesienia była literatura rosyjska, zwłaszcza Ojcowie i dzieci Iwana Turgieniewa. O ile jednak ci pierwsi potraktowali to dzieło i „zasady” życia jego głównego bohatera – Bazarowa jako literacki opis pierwszego, początkowego etapu ich działalności, o tyle Brzozowskiemu powieść ta umożliwiła pierwsze dorosłe wejście w rzeczywistość ideowo-mentalną epoki, w jakiej żył. W artykule ukazano fenomen i specyfikę wejścia w „świat rosyjski” autora Płomieni; przybliżono oceny, które na temat wizerunków Rosji, czy raczej dwóch Rosji, sformułował Brzozowski, poddając zarazem krytyce anachroniczne, zwyrodniałe – w jego przeświadczeniu – formy polskości.

Published: December 2024

В статье представлен путь трансформации «лагерной прозы» в русской литературе. Отмечены факты политического преследования в историческом развитии от древнерусской литературной традиции да современности. Это позволило проследить особенности формирования поэтики данного типа текстов с особенным углублением в ХХ веке, когда утвердился литературоведческий термин «лагерная проза». Автор указывает главные особенности данного феномена, а также приводит примеры того, как такая литература предстает в развитии, являясь окончательно не сформированным типом в силу объективных исторических причин.
Prolegomena do parametryzacji ekwiwalentów kontekstowych i słownikowych w bitekście polsko-rosyjskim: wymiar lakunarności (na przykładzie utworu gatunku fantasy
Authors: Fedorushkov Yury , Dudzińska (Grązik) Weronika
Published: December 2024

Artykuł poświęcony jest zagadnieniu lakunarności w badaniach nad polsko-rosyjskim bitekstem (BTXT) i powiązaniu tych badań z dziedziną systemów uczących się. Zdefiniowano, czym jest zjawisko lakunarności i jakie są rodzaje luk w BTXT. Analizę przeprowadzono na trzydziestu BTXT typu {zdanie X L1|||zdanie X L2} zaczerpniętych odpowiednio z powieści Andrzeja Sapkowskiego Boży bojownicy i jej rosyjskiego przekładu Божьи воины autorstwa Jewgienija Wajsbrota. Podstawowym kryterium analizy jest asymetria między L1 (np. zdaniem w języku polskim) i L2 (np. zdaniem w języku rosyjskim) w ramach serii parametrów: typ konotacji, przynależność do stylu funkcjonalnego, frazem/niefrazem, hapaks, znaczenie sumaryczne/asumaryczne, dystrybucja komponentów, metaforyczność/niemetaforyczność, znaczenie leksykalne komponentów, przynależność do klasy paremii. Lakunarność rozumiana jest jako brak określonej cechy lub sumy cech w zdaniu X w L2 w stosunku do zdania X w L1. Taka lakunarność jest utożsamiana z asymetrią cech. Wyniki parametryzacji wspomnianej asymetrii świadczą, że parametryzacja i tagowanie BTXT mogą mieć właściwości modularne, co z kolei może służyć do trenowania sieci neuronowej, tj. do głębszej (automatycznej, niemanualnej) analizy większej liczby równoległych tekstów. W badaniu najwięcej uwagi poświęcono frazemom (FR) – kolokacjom i idiomom.

Abstract
The food enzyme endo‐1,4‐β‐xylanase (4‐β‐d‐xylan xylanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.8) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus subtilis strain AR‐153 by AB Enzymes GmbH. The genetic modifications do not give rise to safety concerns. The production strain meets the requirements for the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism and its DNA. It is intended to be used in four food manufacturing processes. Since residual amounts of total organic solids (TOS) are removed during one food manufacturing process, dietary exposure was only calculated for the remaining three processes. Exposure was estimated to be up to 0.463 mg TOS/kg body weight per day in European populations. Given the QPS status of the production strain and the absence of concerns resulting from the food enzyme manufacturing process, toxicity tests were considered unnecessary by the Panel. A search for homology of the amino acid sequence of the food enzyme to known allergens was made and no match was found. The Panel considered that the risk of allergic reactions upon dietary exposure cannot be excluded, but the likelihood is low. Based on the data provided, the Panel concluded that this food enzyme does not give rise to safety concerns, under the intended conditions of use.

Authors: Murtalieva V. , Tsybizova Alexandra A , Sergalieva Mariyam U
Published: December 2024

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the search and study of new antioxidants, including those of natural origin, which play an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases, the main pathogenetic factor in the development of which is considered to be oxidative damage to cells by reactive oxygen species (ROS), including atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus, inflammatory diseases etc. In this connection, the correction of redox disorders is crucial for the normal functioning of the body as a whole. It is known that hydroxycinnamic acids are powerful antioxidants, the main mechanism of action of which is the absorption of radicals, which is associated with their hydrogen or electron-donating ability and the stability of the resulting phenoxyl radicals. Amorpha fruticosa L. can be considered as a plant raw material containing hydroxycinnamic acids and providing antioxidant activity. In various parts of this plant, hyperoside, coumaric acid, quercetin, rutoside, luteolin, kaempferol, and hydroxycinnamic acids have been identified, which determine the biological effect of this plant.
In this connection, the purpose of this work was to quantitatively determine hydroxycinnamic acids and evaluate the antioxidant properties of the fruits of Amorpha fruticosa L., growing in the Astrakhan region.
The study used A. fruticosa fruits collected in the Volodarsky district of the Astrakhan region in 2023, on the basis of which an extract was obtained in a ratio of 1:5 by extracting crushed fruits with 60 % ethanol in a water bath at a temperature of 60° C for 2.5 hours followed by removal of alcohol. The quantitative content of hydroxycinnamic acids (HA) in the A. fruticosa extract was determined by spectrophotometric method. The antioxidant activity of the studied extract was measured using the method of reduction of the stable radical 2-2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. The content of total hydroxycinnamic derivatives in terms of chlorogenic acid was 12,26 ± 2.07 mg/g dry matter. A study of the antioxidant activity of hydroxycinnamic acids from A. fruticosa fruits against DPPH radical cations revealed a maximum degree of inhibition of 63,79 % and 79,18 % at an extractant concentration of 60 %.
As a result of the study, it was established that the quantitative content of the amount of hydroxycinnamic acids determines the antioxidant activity of the Amorpha fruticosa L. fruit extract and can be used as a promising basis for herbal medicines for use in the prevention of oxidative damage to cells.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT IN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT BASED ON REGIONAL PLANNING IN WALELAGAMA VILLAGE, WESAPUT DISTRICT, JAYAWIJAYA REGENCY
Authors: Tambunan Ayu Anggraini , Difinubun Muhamad Fagi , Payokwa Silvia
Published: December 2024

Sustainable management of natural resources in rural areas is a major challenge for many communities in Indonesia, especially in areas that still depend on local natural resources without structured planning. Walelagama Village, Wesaput District, Jayawijaya Regency, is an example of a community that relies heavily on forest management and agricultural land to meet its living needs. However, the lack of integrated regional planning means that natural resource management practices are often unsustainable and have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, this community service activity aims to increase community capacity in managing natural resources based on regional planning, with a participatory approach that integrates local wisdom and modern technology. The service activity was carried out in September 2024, with participants consisting of 35 people including the village head, village administrators and the local community. The method used in this activity is socialization carried out in the village head's office, followed by group discussions and regional zoning-based planning simulations. In this activity, participants are invited to understand the importance of regional planning to preserve nature while increasing agricultural productivity through appropriate zoning. This simulation allows participants to identify and map conservation, production and settlement areas that suit natural conditions and community needs. The results of this activity show that the people of Walelagama Village are starting to understand the concept of zoning-based regional planning, although there are several challenges that need to be overcome, such as limited technological infrastructure and differences in education levels between participants. Limited access to technology hampers people's ability to utilize data-based planning tools, while differences in education levels affect the level of understanding of the material presented. However, this program succeeded in increasing public awareness of the importance of planned and sustainable natural resource management. Overall, this service program makes a significant contribution in increasing the capacity of the Walelagama Village community in terms of managing natural resources based on regional planning. It is hoped that this activity can be the first step towards implementing better regional planning in the future, which will not only benefit the community, but also support sustainable environmental conservation. In addition, the results of this activity indicate the need for further support in the form of improved technological infrastructure and advanced training programs to ensure the sustainability of natural resource management at the community level.

He narrates the story of the Panar community and their struggles in maintaining their native tongue and culture. The novel simultaneously resists linguacides and ecocides.
Effect of Ultrasound-Assisted Maceration on Yield Percentage, Chemical Compound and Antimicrobial Activity of Citrus nobilis Peel Essential Oil
Authors: Fadillah Meilina , Widodo Eko , Djunaidi Irfan
Published: December 2024

Increasing concerns about the activity of antibacterial growth promoters have prompted the need to discover alternatives from natural materials that can be found in various types of plants and herbs. Siamese orange peels (Citrus nobilis) are one of the plentiful organic waste-containing essential oils known for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and other biological properties promising as the potential alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in livestock. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of orange peel essential oil between 2 different extraction methods and the effect of different solvent ratios on the yield of citrus essential oil, chemical compounds, and the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus casei. The evaluated methods were ultrasonic-macerated citrus essential oil (UMCEO) and conventional-macerated citrus essential oil (CMCEO), while the solvent ratios were 1:2, 1:4, and 1:6. The result showed that the solvent ratio was found to significantly give effect (P<0.05) to the yield of citrus peel essential oil with a solvent ratio of 1:2 obtaining the highest yield. Pretreating the citrus peel with ultrasound before hydro-distillation did not give a significant effect (P>0.05) on the chemical compounds of the citrus essential oil as analyzed by GC-MS. Both citrus essential oils were predominantly composed of cycloheptane (CMCEO: 48.5%; UMCEO: 44.09%) and d-limonene (CMCEO: 26.76%; UMCEO: 36.02%). The CMCEO showed a higher inhibition zone against Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus casei. The conclusion is that CMCEO seems to produce citrus peel essential oil with a stronger antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus casei, in particular with solvent ratio 1:2.
Use of YOLOv5 Trained Model for Robotic Courgette Harvesting and Efficiency Analysis
Authors: Kahya Erhan
Published: December 2024

The utilization of machine learning in vegetable harvesting not only enhances efficiency and precision but also addresses labor shortages and improves overall agricultural productivity. In this study, a machine learning method was developed for harvesting courgette fruit. Courgette is a fruit that can take a long time to select and harvest in the agricultural area where it is grown. The YOLOv5 models (nano, small, medium, and large) were used as a deep learning method. All metric values of the models were analyzed. The most successful model was the one trained with the YOLOv5m algorithm using 20 batches and 160 epochs with 640x640 images. The results of the model scores were analyzed as "metrics/precision", "metrics/recall", "metrics/mAP_0.5" and "metrics/mAP_0.5: 0.95". These metrics are key indicators that measure the recognition success of a model and reflect the performance of the respective model on the validation dataset. The metrics data of the "YOLOv5 medium" model proved to be higher compared to the other models. The measured values were YOLOv5m = size: 640x640, batch: 20, epoch: 160, algorithm: YOLOv5m. It was concluded that "YOLOv5m" is the best recognition model that can be used in robotic courgette harvesting to separate the courgette from the branch.

The effects of various tillage methods and herbicide applications on crop yield and broadleaf weeds in chickpea production were investigated. For this reason, a 3-year (2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 chickpea growing season) field experiment was conducted in Diyarbakır region, Türkiye. The experiments were laid out in split-plot design with three replications, in which tillage methods [moldboard plow+cultivator (MP+C), disc harrow+cultivator (DH+C) and cultivator (C)] were main plots, and herbicide applications [pre-emergence (Pre), post-emergence (Post), pre-emergence+post-emergence (Pre+Post), Weed-free check, weedy check] were sub-plots. The higher grain yield was observed under MP+C than DH+C and C treatments although the difference among tillage treatments was not significant in the 2020-21 and 2022-23 production seasons. Among the herbicide applications, the highest grain yield was found at the pre-emergence herbicide treatment following the weed-free check plots. When the treatments were evaluated in terms of their effects on weed observations, it was observed that tillage with moldboard plow and pre-emergence herbicide application were more effective in controlling weeds.

Se evaluó el estado ecológico del río Colorado (Tucumán) durante la primavera del 2021. Se eligieron tres sitios: S1, previo a la unión del arroyo Calimayo; S2, en la confluencia; y S3, aguas abajo de la misma. Se colectaron muestras del epiliton y fitoplancton, para análisis cualitativos y cuantitativos, asimismo se midieron diferentes parámetros fisicoquímicos. La riqueza algal total fue de 83 especies, el fitoplancton tuvo 79 taxones (14 fueron exclusivos) y el epiliton 69 (4 fueron propias). El epiliton presentó mayor diversidad y equitatividad que el fitoplancton. En ambas comunidades se registraron especies sensibles a la polución en el S1 que fueron reemplazadas por taxones tolerantes en los siguientes sitios. Las aguas del S1 se clasificaron como sulfatadas cálcicas-sódicas, con pH alcalino, buena oxigenación, baja demanda bioquímica de oxígeno (DBO5), conductividad eléctrica (CE) media-alta y mayor diversidad en la ficoflora. En los S2 y S3, fueron bicarbonatadas cálcicas-sódica, registraron una disminución en el pH y CE, bajo oxígeno disuelto (OD), valores más elevados de DBO5, de nutrientes y una menor diversidad. Este trabajo es el primer reporte taxonómico de la ficoflora del río Colorado y brinda información de la importancia del empleo en conjunto de variables bióticas y abióticas de los cursos fluviales, para un conocimiento holístico de la calidad del agua.
Spatiotemporal Distribution Characteristics and Spatial Formation Mechanisms of China's Fresh Produce New Retail
Authors: Wang Xiaoyu , Yan Hongmin
Published: December 2024

As a product of the mobile internet era, the new retail model represents a transformation of traditional and online retail. This emerging force will have a significant impact on the spatial planning and layout of urban commercial facilities and refined new infrastructure in the post-COVID-19 era. Using spatial statistical data and revenue data from 2018 to 2022 on fresh produce new retail outlets in China, along with the ArcGIS analysis platform, this paper studies the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of fresh produce new retail and its revenues before and during the COVID-19 outbreak in China, aiming to uncover the inherent spatial mechanism logic. The results show: (1) The spatial distribution of China's fresh produce new retail model decreases from east to west and increases from south to north, with a concentration in three major urban agglomerations, particularly the Yangtze River Delta region; (2) Cities with a higher number of fresh produce new retail outlets have developed a mature online consumer market, with convenient transportation conditions and a well-established logistics system; (3) Between 2018 and 2022, the number of fresh produce new retail outlets expanded, and new retail brands increased at the provincial level. Provinces with more outlets have introduced more fresh produce new retail brands; (4) The outbreak of COVID-19 significantly affected the development and profit models of fresh produce new retail. In 2018-2019, the online and offline revenues of fresh produce new retail were nearly equal, but from 2020 to 2022, online business volumes led to a massive surge in revenue, leaving offline sales far behind. Since 2020, offline revenue has almost remained unchanged. The article argues that the spatiotemporal evolution of fresh produce new retail not only reflects the diversification of consumer types and the transformation of demand but also serves as a barometer for the spatial layout of new retail infrastructure. This model represents the establishment of sustainable new consumer relationships, responding to the development of mobile internet and the construction of healthy digital cities. The mobile internet market, big data, smart logistics, flexible fresh supply chain mechanisms, flat distribution models, and intelligent operations all guide spatial planning for urban 5G infrastructure, logistics centers + forward warehouses, long-distance transportation, small street network "capillary" traffic micro-circulation, and the future construction of smart communities. Urban spaces must continuously and sustainably adapt to changes in consumer demand to maintain their competitiveness among global cities.

Tanzimat’la ilk örneklerini veren Türk romanı, Cumhuriyet’le birlikte yeni temaları bünyesinde barındırmaya başlar. Sosyal, siyasi ve iktisadi anlamda yaşanan değişmeler romanın konusuna dâhil edilir. Özellikle İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın neden olduğu iktisadi çöküşün yanı sıra “türedi zenginler” de sosyo-ekonomik hayatı derinden etkilerken romanlarda da işlenen konulardan birisi hâline gelir. Savaş ekonomisinin neden olduğu gelir düzeyindeki adaletsizlik ve ortaya çıkan sosyal değişim sanatçıların üzerinde durduğu konulardır. Halide Edip Adıvar da ilk eserlerini Millî Edebiyat Dönemi’nde vermeye başlayıp sanatçı kimliğini Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde devam ettiren yazarlardandır. Yazar, kaleme aldığı Sonsuz Panayır’da Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde ortaya çıkan iktisadi yaşam koşullarının toplumsal hayata etkilerini merkeze alır. Romanda İkinci Dünya Savaşı’yla birlikte zenginleşen sınıf ile orta ve alt düzey gelir grubuna sahip insanların hayatlarından kesitler aktarılır. Sosyal ortamı etkileyen iktisadi koşulların ayrıntılarını vermek amacıyla romanın şahıs kadrosu genişletilir. Romanın şahıs kadrosu, farklı sosyal ve iktisadi özellikleriyle mensubu oldukları sınıfların önde gelen isimleridir. İktisadi hayat koşulları, büyük bir panayır etrafında aktarılır.
Sonsuz Panayır İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından Türkiye’de yaşanacak olan iktisadi ekolün değişim eşiğinde kaleme alınır. Bu yıllarda savaşın getirdiği ekonomik boşluk, karaborsa ve kaçakçılar tarafından doldurularak toplumda yapay bir zengin sınıfı türemiştir. Romanın başkarakteri Ayşe’nin sınıf atlamak için türedi zenginlerin yaşadığı semte gitmesiyle dönemin iktisadi temeldeki yaşam şartları gözler önüne serilir. Karşılaşılan yeni ortamla birlikte ortaya çıkan iktisadi yapılanmanın temelinde iki farklı düşünce yer alır. Devlet temelli iktisat modeli ile kapitalist eğilimli iktisadi yaklaşım romandaki geniş şahıs kadrosunun dâhil olduğu iki farklı ekonomi ekolünü temsil ederler. Yapılan bu çalışmada da romanın kişiler ve mekânlarından hareketle döneme yansıyan iktisadi yapı ortaya konulmuştur.
Optimising Software Lifecycle Management through Predictive Maintenance: Insights and Best Practices
Authors: Abhishek Goyal
Published: December 2024

Predictive maintenance within SLM continues to grow as the revolutionary approach that optimises availability and enhances durability and performance of software systems while minimising the extent of downtime. This paper looks at the incorporation of predictive analysis in the SDLC mainly to forecast when software programs are likely to fail in an effort to minimise downtime. Using advanced technologies like machine learning, time series analysis, log mining, and automated testing, organisations can begin looking at ways to improve the ability to head off problems and improve the quality of software while decreasing maintenance costs. The paper focuses on correcting, adaptive, perfective, and preventive maintenance and explains the role of predictive maintenance in anticipating and preventing developing flaws. In addition, the advantages of adopting predictive maintenance in the software lifecycle are explained, which include safety, longer life span of assets, and a better fit with the keywords of Industry 4.0. The paper concludes with best practices for successfully incorporating predictive maintenance into SLM, emphasising data-driven decision-making, aligning maintenance strategies with business objectives, and ensuring continuous system optimisation.

Modified polypropylene composites were obtained by incorporating both chopped glass and mineral fillers. The compositions prepared were characterized. Studies on melting and crystallisation behaviour of PP composites were carried out with the help of differential scanning calorimetry. Studies revealed that peak melting temperature of PP were slightly affected by the presence of chopped glass fibers and wollastonite in the entire composition range. Unlike the crystalline/amorphous systems, the peak melting temperature remained more or less unaffected in the composites. Wollastonite acted as nucleating agent and facilitated crystallization/ nucleating effect.
