Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union in the Political Reflection of the “Zet”-movement in the Second Republic of Poland
The article is an attempt to present and analyze the concept of a foreign policy, formulated in the years of the Second Republic of Poland by the representatives of the political circle of “Zet”, and to relate to the issue of Poland’s relations with Soviet Russia (known later as the Soviet Union) and to the actions on the international arena of the eastern neighbor of Poland. The underground Polish Youth Union “Zet” was established in 1886 in Warsaw in order to fight for a united, independent, democratic and socially just Republic of Poland. In interwar Poland, while maintaining a secret character, “Zet” coordinated the activities of a network of public organizations and periodicals (forming the so-called “Zet”-movement) influencing the political and social life in the country. In Soviet Russia, and later in the Soviet Union, “Zet” saw a threat to the reborn Republic of Poland in the imperial and aggressive nature of the foreign policy of the Bolsheviks. “Zet” supported the federal program and then the Promethean program. The organization also advocated a close cooperation among the western neighbors of the Soviet state. The concepts of the Zetist foreign policy relating to Soviet Russia and the Soviet Union were based on the postulate to weaken “The Red Kremlin”, defined as a declared opponent of independent Poland.
Z polskiej leksykografii biograficznej, nekrologicznej i komemoratywnej. Rosja i ZSRS a Polska – ofiary antycywilizacji. (Bibliografia prac z lat 1832–2021 – w wyborze)

From Polish biographical, obituary and commemorative lexicography. Russia and the USSR versus Poland – victims of anti-civilization. (A bibliography of selected works from 1832-2021)
The paper presents selected issues in the area of Polish biographical lexicography from the genological perspective. The author proposes to distinguish a new type – obituary and commemorative lexicography. She states that no monographic work on biographical lexicography has been published within the Polish scholarly society. The existing publications are only in the form of thematic/problem and review articles. The second part of the paper contains a list of 379 Polish dictionaries; the bibliography covers the years 1832–2021. The data presented are considered statistically important. The bibliographic list includes various types/forms of dictionaries – strictly biographical dictionaries, lexicons, encyclopedias, dictionary-encyclopedias, encyclopedic guides, reference books (e.g. Who is who?), directories of people (e.g. The Book of Siberians), personal loss books, cemetery books, lists of people, alphabetical lists of people, lists of surnames, nicknames, registers of the dead, deported and others, indexes of people (e.g. of repressed people) and others, inventories (e.g. names of labor camps), etc. Formally, publications of this type meet the requirements of studies in the field of lexicography because: 1/ they constitute a linearly ordered set (by lexicographic order), and 2/ they are specific databases storing specific information.

“Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here”
The article reflects on a volume of letters by Georgiy Efron, a son of the poet Marina Tsvetaeva, written between 1940 and 1944. In it, I discuss the editorial and translatorial strategies adopted by Grzegorz Ojcewicz, which were designed to create a comprehensive biographical and psychological study of the author of the letters. This is evidenced by a carefully prepared philological commentary to the correspondence and the thematic articles included in the volume. I consider Efron’s letters in the context of the three-volume edition of his “Diaries”, an earlier editorial initiative by G. Ojcewicz dated 2019–2021.
Evaluation of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy results in patients who underwent cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation with the endocapsular phacoemulsification method
Authors: Yetkin Ali Asgar
Published: January 2023

Background/Aim: Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common complication that develops after cataract surgery, and it can be treated neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different intraocular lenses (IOLs) on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO), to determine the time between surgery and Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, and to evaluate the efficacy, effectiveness, and complications of capsulotomy in patients who underwent cataract surgery with the phacoemulsification method and subsequently developed PCO.
Methods: The cohort study included one eye of each of 153 cases (63 males, 90 females) who underwent cataract surgery with the phacoemulsification method in our clinic from August 1, 2006, through August 1, 2008, and subsequently developed PCO. According to the type of IOL implanted, the cases were divided into three groups: polymethylmethacrylate IOL (Group 1), hydrophilic acrylic IOL (Group 2), and hydrophobic acrylic IOL (Group 3). The control examinations of the patients who underwent Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy were undertaken before capsulotomy and at the first week, first month, and third month after capsulotomy.
Results: Visual acuity improvement was detected in 96.7% of the 153 cases. It was determined that 9.1% of the cases had an intraocular pressure (IOP) increase of more than 5 mmHg at the third hour after capsulotomy and approached baseline values at the end of 1 week. The mean   total energy used in all the cases was 37.20 (14.70) mjl. The mean total energy used in 14 patients with an IOP elevation of above 5 mmHg was 71.07 (10.59) mjl. Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy was performed at an average of 6.29 (4.91) months in Group 1, 7.81 (4.35) months in Group 2, and 17.7 (12.35) months in Group 3. After capsulotomy, clinically significant cystoid macular edema was observed in 1.9% of the cases, IOL damage in 3.9%, and vitreous hemorrhage in 0.6%.
Conclusion: In this study, the incidence of PCO development was found to be lower in the patients who underwent hydrophobic acrylic IOL implantation; therefore, this type of lens should be preferred for implantation. Although Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is an outpatient treatment method that can be applied quickly and can increase visual acuity, it can also lead to complications. To eliminate most of these complications, it would be beneficial to minimize the energy used during the laser procedure.

Published: January 2023

En el contexto educativo, la ludificación ha emergido como una estrategia efectiva para potenciar el aprendizaje y la motivación. Con el auge de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación ha surgido la Ludificación Digital (LD). A pesar de que existen numerosos estudios que resumen las contribuciones de la ludificación en la educación, muy pocos han incluido a la educación preescolar. La presente revisión, se apoya en 25 estudios primarios publicados realizados entre 2014 y 2022 e indexados en Scopus y Web of Sciences; busca cerrar esta brecha al caracterizar las principales contribuciones y sintetizar cualitativamente los efectos de la LD. Los resultados indican que hay un interés creciente sobre el tema, en donde la mayoría de los estudios se originan en Asia; se publican en revistas; y se basan en la propuesta de videojuegos para computadoras o dispositivos móviles que buscan mejorar el aprendizaje de la lengua. Predominan las investigaciones de enfoque narrativo, basadas en muestras inferiores a diez participantes, que emplean elementos de juego de tipo Logro (Progresión). Los 15 estudios que midieron algún tipo de efecto de la LD reportan resultados positivos. Sin embargo, estos son difíciles de generalizar por las pequeñas muestras consideradas y su diversidad en la experimentación.

Published: January 2023

Ground condition is an important aspect that influences performance under the load. An effort to overcome the load problem can be done by improving unstable soil through soil stabilization using blood clam shell powder. In order to determine the shear strength and changes in its value, it can be done by conducting the Triaxial UU test on a mixture of clay and blood clam shell powder with addition of 10%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of soil weight and 4% coal ash. Mixed soil was then stored in plastic for 24 hours to achieve evenly distributed moisture content. Laboratory testing was carried out with reference to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards, aimed to calculate soil shear angle, cohesion, and soil shear strength values. The results showed that the addition of blood clam shell powder and coal ash increased the soil shear strength compared to the clay soil (without any addition). The highest shear strength value of 35,724 kPa was obtained by adding 25% blood clam shells.

Published: January 2023

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the consequences of impaired functioning of acetylcholine which can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Alzheimer's treatment is carried out using two approaches, namely compounds (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors) and noncholinergics (antioxidants). There are commercial drugs that can slow the progression of Alzheimer's, but their use can cause excessive side effects. The use of herbal plants as a cure for Alzheimer's disease has been proven to be safer and does not cause excessive side effects. Herbal plants that can be used and developed are black tea, red betel, curcuma, and cinnamon. This study determined that extracts of black tea, red betel leaf, curcuma, and cinnamon's formula have the best antioxidant activity and level of inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. F1 (cinnamon), F5 (cinnamon, black tea, red betel, and curcuma), F6 (cinnamon and black tea), and F11 (cinnamon, black tea, and curcuma) were the best formulations in each type of sample based on inhibitory AChE enzymes and antioxidants activity. F1 (cinnamon) is the most effective extract out of all formulations analyzed in this study.

The National Park of Bantimurung Bulusaraung located in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province, is a unique conservation area with a karst ecosystem. Forest fires have been an essential threat to the National Park.  The study aims to analyze forest fire occurrences, identify causes and forest fire prevention efforts at the National Park of Bantimurung Bulusaraung, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi. Data used in this study consist of monthly forest fire data from the National Park of Bantimurung Bulusaraung and monthly rainfall data from the Agency of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics in the period of 2015-2020, and information on fire causes, community participation in forest fire prevention derived from respondents of villagers living surrounding the national park. Data analyses using JASP 0.14.1 software. The study revealed that forest fires occur every year at the National Park of Bantimurung Bulusaraung with fires frequency of 20 times and burned area of 163,455 ha  from 2015 to 2020. The highest frequency occurred in 2015 of 8 times and burned area about 97,065 ha. The human factor has been the single fire causing factor, particularly negligence in fire use activities. There are several prevention measures conducted by the National Park management, including the socialization and training activities for community. The unique karst ecosystem seems to be a challenge in the fire suppression process.  Therefore, forest fire prevention involving community living surrounding the national park is critical in forest fire control in the National Park of Bantimurung Bulusaraung.

Pengaruh Inokulasi Mikoriza Arbuskular dan Pupuk Kandang Sapi terhadap Pertumbuhan Semai Kayu Putih (Melaleuca Cajuputi) di Tanah Pasca Tambang Batu Kapur
Authors: Budi Sri Wilarso , Nurdiani Meli
Published: January 2023

Post-mining soil has low fertility so that the revegetation process will be hampered. The addition of soil ameliorants and proper plant selection are necessary for successful revegetation. The use of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and cow manure is expected to help plant growth on post-limestone mining soil. The aims of this study were (1) to analyze the interaction effect of AMF and cow manure on the growth of eucalyptus plants in post-lime mining soil, (2) to analyze the optimal dose of manure in increasing eucalyptus growth. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatment factors (mycorrhizae and cow manure). The results showed that there was no effect of the interaction between AMF inoculation with cow manure. Giving AMF alone also did not significantly affect the growth of eucalyptus seedlings. While the single factor of cow manure had a significant effect on seedling growth, the best dose of cow manure was 15% which could increase growth in height and diameter by 28,04% and 38,41%, respectively, compared to control plants.

Published: January 2023

Forest and land fires (Karhutla) are a phenomenon that often occurs in Indonesia every year. Moreover, there are many changes in land use, such as on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan. For example, in Jambi, South Sumatra, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan. Climatic factors can affect the occurrence of forest and land fires. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hotspots and rainfall on the occurrence of forest and land fires in Indonesia 2019 to 2020. This study used NASA MODIS hotspot data, administrative maps, and rainfall data from the BMKG. The results of this study indicate that rainfall is very influential on the number of hotspots, if the rainfall is low then the hotspots is high and vice versa. July to November is the dry season in 2019, while 2020 is from August to October. From the results of the P-Value correlation test, only South Kalimantan Province is below the 0.05 limit, which is 0.041. Meanwhile, from the results of the R-Person correlation test, Jambi Province has a positive notation (+). Which means that rainfall has no effect on the number of hotspots in the two provinces.

Abstract

 This paper analyzes the policy of the Polish government in responding to the migration crisis in Europe. The Polish government decided not to accommodate more refugees from Africa and the Middle East for reasons of national security. The homogeneous character of society will be disturbed by massive waves of migration. On the other hand, as a member of the European Union, Poland has an obligation to follow the scheme of the distribution of refugee quota to his country. Using the securitization analysis of non-traditional security issues, this research will describe the securitization process that starts with securitizing actors, speech acts, existential threats, referent objects, audiences, and functional actors. The securitization process is carried out by constructing an issue that was not originally a security issue to a security issue. The findings of this study indicate that the Polish government's policy of rejecting refugees is a form of securitization of the issue of migration as a threat to its national security.
Pandangan Hak Asasi Manusia Terhadap Kebijakan Two Child Policy Presiden Xi-Jinping

Published: January 2023

People’s Republic of China (PRC) is one of the biggest countries in terms of its population. Which was the result of its people’s high fertility rate. The high rate of fertility creates an influx of birthrate, thus, increasing the population by a lot. But at the same time, it raises a new problem: China's economy can’t sustain the overly-grown population. China came with a new two-child policy, a policy dedicated to limiting the number of children a household could give birth to, a solution to cut out the influx of population. This, of course, sparked a wave of criticisms from the Western world. The West viewed; China’s policy as a breach of Human Rights as it limits its people’s freedom to give birth. This study uses a qualitative method which is descriptive analysis. The concept used is the concept of individual freedom in the form of Positive Liberty (positive freedom) and Negative Liberty (negative freedom). The results of the study, namely the Two-Child Policy, actually hurt human rights because people were forced to pay taxes if they had a second child with a value of almost 100 million rupiahs which eventually encouraged women to have abortions and sterilization. This policy also creates problems for those who wish to have more children. This policy is believed to be President Xi Jinping's effort to anticipate the slack in the Chinese labor supply due to the declining productive age population, so basically, this policy was issued not to side with human rights, but to safeguard China's economic interests

This journal analyzes and describes what strategies are prepared by Taiwan to deal with threats from China. In this case, China has ambitions to regain control of Taiwan which they consider as part of its sovereignty. While Taiwan itself considers that they are an independent country. This study aims to see Taiwan's strategy in dealing with security threats from China. This research methodology uses descriptive qualitative research with a framework of thinking using the concept of Bandwagoning. By using this concept, it can be seen that Taiwan uses an alliance with the US to counter security threats from China. The strong form of the alliance between the two can be seen in the establishment of the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) Security Agreement which is applied in the security agreement where the US is committed to protecting Taiwan from Chinese military attacks and selling weapons to Taiwan to ward off security threats from China

Mathematics anxiety is not a new topic in the field of education, but this construct held its significance in the field over time as it affects other constructs that also contribute to a quality mathematics education. The literature revealed that among senior high school students, mathematics anxiety was found to be prevalent. However, the literature lacked investigations with regards to the mathematics anxiety of this group of students and the factors that can affect it. To address the gap, this quantitative study examined the students’ experiences on teacher interactions, pedagogical practices and mathematical content and their significant relationship to the students’ level of mathematics anxiety. The respondents were 101 STEM students of Pikit National High School and the study used descriptive statistics as well as correlational analysis. The study revealed that STEM students experienced moderately positive teacher interactions, moderately student-centered teaching, moderately positive experiences on mathematical content, and obtained a moderate level of mathematics anxiety. It was further revealed that students’ experiences on teacher interactions and mathematical content have negative correlation with their level of mathematics anxiety and was found to be significant.

Evaluation of the efficacy of laghusootshekhar ras and praval panchamrut ras in the management of urdhwaga amlapitta: A review
Authors: Sachinkumar Sahebrao Patil
Published: January 2023

Amlapitta is a very common disease encountering in present era with more or less severity. It is the one that which bears the direct impact of the dietic errors that a person indulges. In this rapidly growing world, people neglect healthy food and are attracted towards the junk food, they are changing their diet pattern, meal timings, lifestyle and behavioural pattern. They are becoming more stressful with worry, tensions causing so many disorders which hampers digestion and is causing hyperacidity, gastritis, acid peptic disorders etc. All these disorders can be correlated with Urdhwaga Amlapitta in ayurveda. Modern medicinal systems have proton pump inhibiters, H2 blockers, antacids etc. which are being widely used all over the world, have their own limitations. These medications can not cure the disease permanently and only effective until used regularly, with a very high rate of relapse on leaving the medicine. This has encouraged me to assess the effect of commonly used ayurvedic approach, Shamana (Laghusootshekhar Ras and Praval Panchamrut Ras) in the management of Urdhwaga amlapitta. The study material comprises of 15 patients of Urdhwaga Amlapitta from OPD of Kayachikitsa, Ayurved Hospital and Cancer Research Centre, Wagholi having signs and symptoms of the disease as mentioned in classical ayurvedic texts irrespective of sex, religion, occupation etc. Patients were treated with Laghusootshekhar Ras and Praval Panchamrut Ras for 14 days and assessment was made based on patient’s response to the treatment on the basis of improvement in the classical signs and symptoms of Urdhwaga Amlapitta. The results showed that Laghusootshekhar Ras and Praval Panchamrut Ras has significant results in the treatment of Urdhwaga Amlapitta without any ADR.

Published: January 2023

The objective of the research study was to find the extent to which disgust propensity-sensitivity is related to attitude towards homosexuals among parents. This study included 160 participants who were parents ranging in age of 21 to 70 from urban and rural localities of India. The study was conducted using the tools, Disgust propensity and sensitivity scale – Revised (DPSS-R) and The Development of Attitudes towards Homosexuality Scale for Indians (AHSI). The study used a correlational research design and the statistical analyses used were correlation, independent sample t-test and regression analysis. The study tested eight hypotheses and found a negative correlation between disgust propensity-sensitivity and attitude toward homosexuals among parents. The findings also revealed that disgust propensity-sensitivity has a significant impact on attitudes toward homosexuals. The results also showed that there is significant gender difference in attitude towards homosexuals among parents. According to the study, as parents' disgust propensity-sensitivity increases, attitude toward homosexuals decrease. The study also found that mothers have a more favourable attitude toward homosexuals than fathers. This study may aid in raising parental awareness of homosexuality and to raise awareness on how controlling the feeling of disgust can help in betterment of attitude towards homosexuals

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact. Knowing the variables that affect the increase in infection is crucial for public health decision-making. Mobility and socio-demographic conditions of the population are important factors in the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between people mobility, social determinants of health and COVID-19 cases using a Random Forest (RF) method. Methods: The COVID-19 cases were analyzed in the Maule Region, Chile. Spearman rank was performed to analyze the total mobility index for each municipality. RF regression was used to create a model between COVID-19 infections, mobility index and sociodemographic variables. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Total mobility was highly correlated with new COVID-19 cases, adjusted for total population, in each municipality (ρ: 0.52-0.92). An upward trend is observed for mobility and COVID-19 cases for the 30 municipalities analyzed. For the RF model, COVID-19 active cases, total mobility, and external mobility are obtained as VIM. The most relevant demographic variables were overcrowding, density and area of municipality. The R-Squared was 0.68 for the performed RF model. Conclusions: Artificial Intelligence methodologies are increasingly used for their excellent performance. RF Regression offers a clear solution for the design of predictor variables on the number of new cases per week. Mobility is a powerful predictor variable for the number of COVID-19 new cases.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a considerable public health problem prevalent among older men. Despite its eminent prevalence, the etiology of BPH is not well understood. Accumulating evidence indicates that modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease may also increase the risk of BPH and potentially contribute to BPH development. This study evaluated the ameliorative effect of Ceiba pentandra leaf on some lipids profile indices of rats induced BPH. Thirty six Wistar rats were divided randomly into six groups (n = 6). All the experimental groups except the normal control were induced benign prostatic hyperplasia using testosterone propionate and estradiol valerate at a dose of 400 µg and 80µg respectively, for 21 days. After induction, rats in the negative control (BPH Control) group received no treatment. Rats in the standard control group received finasterides (1mg/kg body weight), while rats in the low dose extract, medium dose extract and high dose extract groups received the plant extract according to their body weights in kilogram at 500 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg, and 1500 mg/kg respectively. Normal Control group received only feed without any special treatment. The animals in all the groups were allowed access to water and feed ad libitum for 28 days. The rats were anaesthetized after treatment period. Blood samples were collected and serum harvested for analyses using standard methods. Result showed that Ceiba pentandra leaf had ameliorative effect on the lipids profile analyzed.

Introduction: The human face is a disconcerting source of information, since cultural influences, masculine-feminine characteristics, the aging process, the subtleties of light that change with the orientation of the face, rest, smiling and others configurations endow each particular face with a uniqueness that is difficult to quantify. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not there is a golden ratio between the intercanine distance and the vertical measurement of the midface of fourth-year students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional and randomized study. The sample consisted of 40 fourth-year students from the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca, Ecuador. The observation technique was used. The following were observed and analyzed: 1) the intercanine distance and 2) the vertical measurement of the middle third of the face, to determine if there is a presence or absence of the golden ratio. Results: For the frequency of values about whether there is a Golden Ratio or not, it is shown that: in the intervals 2.65 - 12.90 mm (very close) there are 4 men with 13.33 % and 3 women with 6 00 %, in the interval 12.91 - 23.16 mm (close) there are 8 men with 26.66 % and 15 women with 30.00 %, and in the interval 23.27 - 33.52 mm (distant) there are 3 men with 10.00 % and 7 women with 14.00 %. Conclusion: It is observed that in 56.66 % of the fourth-year students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Cuenca there is a close correlation to the golden ratio between the intercanine distance and the middle third of the face, this being the most representative of the three intervals analyzed (very close, close and distant).
