Published: January 2022

The ecological condition of Lake Bilikol under conditions of anthropogenic pollution from the Asa River has been recently documented. Major pollution events occurred in 1983-1984 and 1988 after the accidental release of industrial effluents from the Zhambyl Phosphorus Factory into the Asa River. This also became the starting point of environmental deterioration. In subsequent years, the flora and fauna of the lake were partially self-restored, but because of the impact of pollutants, the lake is still in the stage of severe degradation. This article examines changes in the ecological condition of Lake Bilikol under anthropogenic pollution inputs from the Asa River, which is the main source to the lake. This article also includes a description of the geographical location, information on lake fauna (fish stocks, water, and water birds), and hydrography and anthropogenic impacts. The level of anthropogenic impact and its duration over time, which multiplied after the accidental release of industrial wastewater from the Zhambyl phosphorus plant into the Asa riverbed in 1983-84 and 1988, is the starting point of ecological degradation of the lake and is reviewed in more detail. Chemical analysis results of water and soils of the lakebed, which are mainly polluted by phosphates and fluorides, and their transformation during the last 30 years are presented in methodical terms. In certain years, there was a partial self-restoration of the lake ecosystem (water quality, fauna, and flora). Nevertheless, the lake is currently experiencing severe ecological degradation because of the long-term influence of chemical pollutants. In the future, environmental protection measures are needed to plan practical measures for the rehabilitation of the lake using methods both for the acceleration of biological self-remediation and for hydro-mechanical cleaning of the lakebed and lake water.

. تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على الوضع الراهن لاستخدام الذكاء الاصطناعي في تعزيز السلامة المرورية بالدول العربية من خلال تحديد مجالاته الرئيسة المستخدمة، والتعرف على واقع استخدامه في السلامة المرورية، والتحديات التي تؤثر سلبًا في هذا الاستخدام. كما تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على التأثير المحتمل للذكاء الاصطناعي في الحَدّ من الحوادث المرورية وتحديد الممارسات العالمية لاستخدامه في مجالات الحركة المرورية على الطرق. ولتحقيق تلك الأهداف تم استخدام منهجي الوصفي الوثائقي والوصفي المسحي باستخدام الاستبانة كأداة للدراسة، حيث تم تصميمها وجرى إرسالها إلى كافة الدول العربية (22 دولة)، ووردت الردود من 8 دول فقط، هي: (السعودية، اليمن، الإمارات العربية، الكويت، الأردن، فلسطين، تونس، موريتانيا). وأشارت نتائج الاستبانة إلى محدودية استخدام الدول العربية لأنظمة الذكاء الاصطناعي في المجالات المختلفة لإدارة الحركة المرورية. واتضح أن أنظمة إدارة مركبات الطوارئ قد احتلت المرتبة الأولى في الاستخدام بمتوسط (1.89± 0.05)، وجاءت نظم إدارة الطرق الرئيسة والسريعة بالمرتبة الثانية بمتوسط (1.78± 0.83)، في حين لم تتوافر أنظمة إدارة الشاحنات، وأنظمة أولوية السير لمركبات النقل العام، وأنظمة التنبؤ بالحوادث المرورية، وهو ما يشير إلى أن الوضع الراهن لاستخدام أنظمة الذكاء الاصطناعي في مجالات إدارة حركة المرور على الطرق بالدول العربية المستجيبة لا يزال في بداياته. والخلاصة، فإن الذكاء الاصطناعي يمكن أن يعالج مشكلات الحركة المرورية على الطرق في مجالات إدارة الحركة المرورية، والسلامة المرورية، والنقل العام، والتنقل الحضري، ولكي يتم ذلك ينبغي على الجهات المعنية في الدول العربية تحديد أولويات تطبيق نظم الذكاء الاصطناعي المطلوبة، والتعامل مع الأطر التنظيمية التي تضع حواجز تَحدّ من تبني التقنيات الناشئة المبتكرة في مجالات الحركة المرورية، وإزالة كافة العقبات التنظيمية التي يمكن أن تؤثر سلبًا في تبني استخدام نظم الذكاء الاصطناعي، وتوفير قواعد آمنة للبيانات المرورية الرقمية المتعلقة بأنظمة الذكاء الاصطناعي، وإتاحة الفرص للقطاع الخاص للمشاركة في تطوير البنية التحتية لتطبيقات نظم الذكاء الاصطناعي المطلوبة في الحركة المرورية من خلال نظام الخصخصة، وضرورة مواكبة التطور المتسارع في التقنيات الحديثة لتعزيز السلامة المرورية.
Tending Immanence, Transcending Sectarianism: Plane of Mixed Castes and Religions
Authors: Babu Roshni
Published: January 2022

The attempt in this article is to extrapolate the notion of hybridity latent in B. R. Ambedkar’s reflections on mixed castes, and outcastes, which subsequently leads to the causal link that he then derives gesticulating to social evils, namely, the origin of untouchability. Whether this embryonic notion of hybridity present in Ambedkar’s work is amenable to the extrapolation of Dalit identity thought along the lines of Gilles Deleuze’s notion of “immanent mixtures” is a thread that this study pursues. This certainly has broad implications for the prevalent notions of Dalit identity. This study ventures to read Ambedkar’s work, Riddles in Hinduism (1987) alongside Deleuze, probing into the intuitive link between notions of hybridity and the plane of immanence.

Ideological distancing from predetermined categories of identity considered to be reductive in nature by the intellectuals of Indian philosophical thinking view such predetermined notions as facile conceptions that run short of representative qualities of complex and varied particularities of reasoned engagement with one’s resources. Amartya Sen heralded this ideological position in his work titled, The Argumentative Indian (2006), in favor of heterodoxy and reasoned choice determining priorities between different identities. Lacunae regarding identification of resources prominent in Sen’s work is pointed out by Jonardon Ganeri, who hails from the cluster of contemporary Sanskritists competent in philological and theoretical exegesis of “sastric” philosophical literature from the classical period of India.

This study is a close reading of Jonardon Ganeri’s concept of ‘resources within’ which he develops in his work, Identity as Reasoned Choice (2012) to examine the potentiality of this concept to advance a theoretical framework that could counter a sectarian view of Indian tradition, as it is professed at the outset of his work. Sectarianism, which Ganeri opposes, identifies mysticism to be its chief trait which he shows to be selectively usurping only those resources grounded in Vedantic wisdom from India’s past.
Ethnic Identity, Discrimination and the Shaping of Remittance Culture in Ghana
Authors: Assan Joseph Kweku
Published: January 2022

This article examines birth-based structures and endogenous practices in the migration patterns of two ethnic groups in southern Ghana. The sampled ethnic groups for this study are the Akuapems from the Akan ethnic group located in the Akuapem North district and the Ada/Dangme’s from the Ga-Adangme ethnic group located in the Shai-Osudoku District and the Ningo-Prampram District (formally known as Dangme West District). The article discusses how ethnic identity influences remittance patterns and the utilization of sampled migrants’ home districts. Data from a questionnaire survey, interviews, and focus group meetings informed the study. The study results indicate a strong relationship between patterns, practices, and utilization of remittances and the respective norms and social values embedded within the migrants’ ethnic identity. The research also shows that migrants from ethnic groups with strong internal cohesion and less assimilation remit more than those from more ethnically heterogeneous groups. The study found that migrants from matrilineal ethnicity remit more than those of the patrilineal group. Ethnic values also shape the type of investments that internal migrants and their families may pursue. The research contributes to the debate on agency and endogenous development within birth-based structured societies. It also advances the discourse on birth-based identities, marginalization, and informal poverty reductions mechanisms and strategies.
Models for lipoxygenase with two alkoxide—Fe(III) centers: synthesis, structures, and properties
Authors: Wu Guiling , Zheng C.-Y.
Published: January 2022

[FeIII(OMe)(Hedtb)](ClO4)3·6.5CH3OH (1) and [FeIII(On-Bu)(Hedtb)](ClO4)3·3n-BuOH (2) (edtb = N,N,N',N'-tetrakis[(2-benzimidazolyl)methyl]-1,2-ethanediamine ) were prepared and display lipoxygenase activity. X-ray crystallography reveals that the FeIII centers in complexes 1 and 2 are ligated to three nitrogens of benzimidazole and two alkylamine nitrogen atoms from the edtb ligand, with a terminal alkyoxyl group occupying the sixth position. Complexes 1 and 2 both possess a FeIII—OR center (R = Me, 1; n-Bu, 2) with Fe—O bond distances of 1.799(3) Å and 1.789(5) Å, respectively. The UV-Vis spectra and electrochemical properties of the complexes were recorded. Both complexes have strong absorption peaks at around 375 nm and display lipoxygenase activity.

Published: January 2022

This work emphasizes in presenting new class of equilibrium-like problems, termed as equilibrium-like problems with trifunction. We establish some metric characterizations for the well-posed triequilibrium-like problems. We give some conditions under which the equilibrium-like problems are strongly well-posed. Our results, which give essential and adequate conditions to the well-posedness of triequilibrium-like problems, are acquired by utilizing the assumption of pseudomonotonicity. Technique and ideas of this paper inspire further research in this dynamic field.
Ghost-Managed Medicine
Authors: Sismondo Sergio
Published: January 2022

Ghost-Managed Medicine by Sergio Sismondo explores a spectral side of medical knowledge, based in pharmaceutical industry tactics and practices. Hidden from the public view, the many invisible hands of the pharmaceutical industry and its agents channel streams of drug information and knowledge from contract research organizations (that extract data from experimental bodies) to publication planners (who produce ghostwritten medical journal articles) to key opinion leaders (who are sent out to educate physicians about drugs) to patient advocacy organizations (who ventriloquize views on diseases, treatments and regulations), and onward. The goal of this ‘assemblage marketing’ is to establish conditions that make specific diagnoses, prescriptions and purchases as obvious and frequent as possible. While staying in the shadows, companies create powerful markets in which increasing numbers of people become sick and the drugs largely sell themselves. Most agents for drug companies aim to tell the truth, but the truths they tell are drawn from streams of knowledge that have been fed, channeled and maintained by the companies at every possible opportunity. Especially because those companies have concentrated influence and narrow interests, consumers and others should be concerned about how epistemic power is distributed – or ‘political economies of knowledge’ – and not just about truth and falsity of medical knowledge. In pharmaceutical companies’ ideal worlds, medical research, education and marketing would be tightly fused. Doctors trying to educate themselves would turn to companies’ agents, such as researchers and educators sponsored to spread particular messages, local sales reps hired to change doctors’ behaviour, or journalists supplied with news stories. Ghost-Managed Medicine shows that the real world of medicine is not very far from the worlds that the companies want to create. Big Pharma’s many invisible hands are busy throughout medicine, and medicine changes as a result.

Published: January 2022

Project schedule management is an important part of prefabricated construction project management. General contracting is an effective way to promote the development of prefabricated construction. However, at present, from the perspective of general contracting, the risk factors affecting the project progress of prefabricated buildings are not clear, and the relationship between risks is not known. The purpose of this study is to study the composition, hierarchical structure and transmission path of schedule risk factors of prefabricated construction in general contracting mode, so as to help the general contractor formulate effective schedule risk avoidance measures. This study uses grounded theory to obtain 22 risk factors that affect the progress of assembly building projects, and the data are from expert interviews. Using Delphi method and interpretative structural modeling (ISM), these factors are divided into seven levels, and the ISM model of schedule risk factors is constructed. The research shows that there are 60 progress risk transmission paths, and four progress risk transfer chains are obtained. This paper also further analyzes and puts forward suggestions to avoid risks for each level. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-010 Full Text: PDF

Spatial Distribution and Landscape Characteristics of Flores Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus Floris) Habitat in Flores Island
Authors: - Syartinilia , Raja Mohd Kris Setiawan
Published: January 2022

Flores Hawk-Eagle (FHE, Nisaetus floris) is one of the endemic and keystone species that was rarely studied among other eagles. The study on the FHE is currently experiencing limited information for estimating their distribution area. Therefore, the FHE habitat distribution is required as the essential information for developing the strategies and conservation action. The objectives of this study were to identify the spatial habitat distribution and analyze the characteristics of the habitat. Minimum convex polygon (MCP) and kernel-density estimation (KDE) 95% was combined with the land cover map for delineating the patch habitat of FHE. Slope, elevation, and land cover were used as environmental variables. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) combine with GIS were used for characterizing the landscape habitat. The results showed that there were eight habitat patches with a total area of 1.132 km2. Six principal components were retained from PCA analysis which explained 71.96% of data variance. Habitat characteristics of FHE describe its requirement for nesting and hunting activities for principal components 1 to 4, while for flight activity related to principal components 5 and 6. Forests and savannahs become the main habitat preference for both nesting and hunting activities. Results of this study will be supported as baseline information for developing conservation strategies and action for FHE.

Tandemové kojení jako specifický prostředek kontaktního rodičovství – zkušenosti matek
Authors: Hanáčková Veronika , Masopustová Zuzana
Published: January 2022

The phenomenon of tandem nursing has not been much captured by psychological research. Tandem nursing is practiced by some mothers who follow the trend of attachment parenting. In tandem nursing, the mother breastfeeds both the younger and the older child at the same time. In-depth interviews were conducted with four women who claimed to practice attachment parenting and breastfed their toddler child together with their older sibling at preschool age. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the data, and four main themes were identified: 1) Efforts to maintain breastfeeding at all costs – from the decline of breastfeeding in pregnancy to the sharp increase after childbirth to the ideal of self-reinstatement; 2) Mother in the middle – „I feel like I'm still…always in the middle…physically and mentally…between the children“; 3) Tandem nursing as a safeguard for the older child in the new family structure and the mother's efforts to support sibling relationships; 4) Support and criticism of tandem nursing leading to reinforcement of beliefs.

How Organizations Can Use High Performance Work Practices To Augment Employees’ Performance Oriented Behaviors?
Authors: Awan Sajid Hussain , Habib Nazia , Akhtar Ch. Shoaib , Naveed Shaheryar
Published: January 2022

We examine the relationship between high performance work practices and employee performance mediated by employee involvement, motivation, and satisfaction. We collected data on adapted scales from 292 heads of departments of various public and private sector institutions from Pakistan. The results indicated a positive and significant impact of high performance work practices on employee involvement, motivation, satisfaction, and performance. Besides, results also supported the mediation of employee involvement and motivation. However, the relationship between employee satisfaction and performance was not found significant and similarly, its mediation was also not established as we expected. The study is first of its kind, where a composite model of high performance work practices was tested for its employee-related outcomes. Moreover, the mediation of employee involvement and employee motivation in the relationship between high performance work practices and employee performance is also a noteworthy contribution of the current research in the Pakistani context. The results are generalizable to public and private sector higher education institutions of Pakistan but can also be used in other organizations with caution.

Authors: Amir Muhammad , Iqbal Naveed , Tahir Sheeza
Published: January 2022

Due to speedy trade and industry expansion in the emerging economies it is creating stern environmental corrosion. Effluence makers’ enterprises are mostly responsible for environmental deterioration. Therefore, it is the responsibility of those firms to take steps to control this corrosion in the environment. This research explains the effect of corporate environmental responsibility (CER) on corporate financial performance (CFP) with the moderating effect of organizational slack and industry competition. Data was collected from annual reports of 50 KSE 100 index companies from 2012-2019, containing total 450 observations. Dynamic penal model was used to test the study hypothesis by using Eviews, different pre and post estimations are applied to confirm the data validity.  Empirical results indicate that corporate environmental responsibility has significant positive effect on corporate financial performance, while the moderating effect of organizational slack is negative. Industry competition has significant positive moderating effect on the relationship, i.e., if there is high competition in industry then firms will invest more in environment to attract more consumers and to create good will in market. The study reveal that those firms will lead where competition is high and who will focus on their responsibility towards environment.
Impact of Globalization on Aggregate and Agricultural Employment in Pakistan
Authors: Jaffri Atif Ali , Sana Moniba , Khan Asadullah
Published: January 2022

This study has empirically investigated impact of globalization on aggregate and agricultural employment in Pakistan for the data period 1986-2017. Globalization is proxied by variables trade openness, foreign direct investment, workers’ remittances and exchange rate. Other explanatory variables are real GDP, gender based wage gap and labor force. The study has applied Johansen’ cointegration technique and Error Correction Model to estimate the long run and short run relationships. The findings of the study indicate that in the long run trade openness has negative whereas FDI has positive effect on aggregate as well as agricultural employment in Pakistan during the data period. Interestingly, exchange rate and workers’ remittances affect aggregate and agricultural employment differently. Other important finding is that real GDP and gender based wage gap also deteriorate aggregate and agricultural employment in Pakistan. The study concluded that globalization in the form of trade openness has not supported employment whereas FDI enhanced employment in Pakistan. Policy makers need to consider sector specific effects of globalization while designing policies to achieve inclusive growth in Pakistan.
Evaluation of Some Male and Female Rats’ Reproductive Hormones Following Administration of Aspartame With or Without Vitamin C or E
Authors: Azeez Omar H
Published: January 2022

Aspartame (ASP) is a sugar substitute. Its use rose because it has been demonstrated to have deleterious effects after being metabolized. In the presence of antioxidant vitamins C or E, the effects of ASP on reproductive hormones of adult male and female Albino Wister rats were investigated. A total of eighty male and female rats were used in this study. The rats were divided into four groups: group 1, received no treatment; group 2, received ASP at 40 mg/kg BW; group 3, received ASP at 40 mg/kg BW with vitamin C at 150 mg/kg BW; and group 4, received ASP at 40 mg/kg BW and vitamin E at 100 mg/kg BW. All treatments were given orally by gavage needle once daily for consecutive 90 days. The levels of estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone hormone (TH) were measured after 90 days in blood plasma. In comparison with the control group, ASP treatment resulted in lower levels of E2, FSH, and LH in male and female rats. When the antioxidants vitamin C or E was given, the effects of ASP were reversed, and the levels of E2, LH, and FSH were increased. The testosterone hormone was likewise significantly increased by ASP, but testosterone hormone concentrations were decreased by vitamin C or E treatments. Long-term ASP consumption caused interfering with testicular and ovarian hormonal activity, while vitamins C and E on the other hand, overcome longstanding consumption ASP's effects.

La Escuela Radiofónica como Estrategia para la Formación de Líderes en Comunicación Popular en los Barrios de la Zona Norte de Medellín.
Authors: Rendón López Lina María , Ortega Carrillo José Antonio
Published: January 2022

Nuestro trabajo describe una experiencia de educación informal realizada en el seno de una organización no gubernamental radicada en la ciudad colombiana de Medellín. Su ámbito de actuación son los barrios de la zona norte de la ciudad (comunas 1 a la 7) habitados por sectores de población situados en los márgenes socioeconómicos y culturales. La plataforma educativa que presentamos, es una emisora de radio comunitaria denominada "Zona Radio" que emite en la banda de frecuencia modulada desde septiembre de 2011. Por su naturaleza comunitaria la radio nace desde, por y para el pueblo, que la funda, organiza y desarrolla, gracias al liderazgo de la citada Corporación Educativa.>br>Como elemento caracterizador destaca la formación en la Corporación de un equipo de profesionales tituladas en comunicación y periodismo, procedentes de las Universidades Antioquia y Luis Amigó. Ellas compartieron con los grupos de voluntariado, la génesis y desarrollo de una Escuela Radiofónica en la que se formaron los líderes de comunicación popular, que pronto se convirtieron en productores de los programas que conformaron la primera parrilla de emisión. El modelo investigador utilizado tuvo como nudo gordiano la metodología de la investigación participativa, sustentada por los enfoques teóricos del constructivismo y el cognitivismo pedagógico. Igualmente, se tuvieron en cuenta los supuestos y aportaciones de las teorías de las inteligencias múltiples, el aprendizaje social y la inteligencia emocional, entre otras.

En este artículo se describe una metodología de adaptación de presentación de contenidos basada en agentes de software y servicios web para ser empleada en plataformas de elearning. En principio, a modo de contextualización se enfoca lo referido a la transición social producida por la influencia de las TIC's así como en la educación. Del mismo modo, se aborda el advenimiento de la educación a distancia y la problemática educativa subyacente en ésta, así como también la importancia de los estilos de aprendizaje en relación al hecho educativo. Luego, se describen brevemente las fases de la metodología propuesta que en sí misma lo que pretende es ofrecer al lector una orientación muy general acerca del proceso de adaptación de contenidos en función de los estilos de aprendizaje en plataformas de teleformación y se subrayan algunas reflexiones finales.
Las TIC en la Formación del Profesorado.
Authors: Domínguez Alfonso Rocío
Published: January 2022

La inserción de las TIC en la educación es mucho más que la adquisición de habilidades básicas en su uso y manejo. Aunque estas sean las competencias básicas, es necesario que el docente conozca las estrategias metodológicas y didácticas así como las distintas posibilidades que las tecnologías ofrecen dentro del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. De este modo han sido entendidas por la UNESCO, y por ello propone un conjunto de destrezas-competencias básicas obligatorias y necesarias en la formación del profesorado y en su desempeño profesional; que deberán empezar a desarrollarse en la formación inicial, complementarse con los primeros años de ejercicio docente y actualizarse durante todo la vida laboral.
La educación inclusiva y el mundo digital: nuevos retos en la sociedad del conocimiento
Authors: Luque de la Rosa Antonio
Published: January 2022

En una época como la actual, en la cual se está produciendo de manera simultánea el auge vertiginoso del desarrollo tecnológico en las sociedades avanzadas junto a la expansión de una crisis económica a nivel mundial que pone en entredicho los pilares más básicos de la sociedad del bienestar, no podemos dejar de lado la consideración de los principios inclusivos desde la perspectiva educativa, como salvaguarda del modelo social establecido, siendo necesaria la incardinación de las posibilidades que nos ofrece el mundo digital en la educación como vía para garantizar el desarrollo del conjunto de los ciudadanos y evitar así una mayor fragmentación social.Ante dicho panorama, en el presente artículo realizaremos una descripción de aquellos retos y compromisos sociales que, a nuestro entender, deberían acometerse a nivel político e institucional si queremos apostar por la consolidación de una sociedad inclusiva y, concretamente, por la atención a las necesidades educativas del alumnado con discapacidad, ante los avances de la era digital.

La inclusión: un camino en construcción

La Educación Especial surge ante la necesidad de hacer realidad el derecho de atender a todas las personas por igual. Desde los años 80 del pasado siglo hasta la actualidad, se pueden observar dos movimientos principalmente: por un lado la integración escolar y por otro lado la inclusión. La integración escolar tiene por objeto la educación de alumnos diferentes que no se ajustan a una norma, bien por sus capacidades cognitivas o bien por sus alteraciones sensoriales o motoras, mientras que la inclusión toma como punto de partida el rechazo de políticas, culturas y prácticas que se declinan ante la exclusión. La educación, para poder cumplir con su finalidad ética, debe esforzarse por corregir y aminorar las posibles desigualdades sociales y conseguir una escuela para todos mediante una educación de calidad dentro del marco de la escuela. En el desarrollo del currículo se hace necesaria la adopción de nuevas estrategias docentes, métodos y medios de enseñanza que no pueden ser prescritas por la Administración sino que deben ser diseñadas por los docentes en sus aulas para sus alumnos.
