Of the Passage to the Other World
Authors: Ursu Donna-Alexandra
Published: August 2022

The article focuses on the language employed by the people who went through a near-death experience (NDE) when depicting their journey to the other world, the Afterlife, as well as on C. S. Lewis’s essay ‘On Stories’ (1965) in an attempt to draw a parallel between the world that opens up after death, on the one hand, and the world of stories, on the other. Using Raymond A. Moody’s Life after Life (1975/2015) and Eben Alexander’s Proof of Heaven (2012) as my NDE corpus, I explore the linguistic vehicles and the underlying conceptual metaphors and image schemas used by NDErs when depicting the typical stages that make up their near-death experience. Starting from the assumption that the lexis provides us with points of access to the conceptual content and ultimately to a cognitive world, I use the analytical tools provided by Conceptual Metaphor Theory, namely conceptual metaphors and image schemas, so as to unveil the passage of the soul the other world. To this end, I uncover a ten-stage idealized cognitive model of NDE, based on Lakoff’s concept of ICM (1987) and Barsalou’s model of a frame (1992). One of the aims of the article is to evince that, despite the unanimous claim made by NDErs that their experience is ineffable, they do succeed in providing a depiction—as imperfect as it may be—of this passage between worlds, which results in a world in itself. At the discursive level, I argue that the true ‘creators’ of this world are the kinesthetic image schemas which are pre-conceptual in nature and inherently meaningful. What is more, I aim to unveil the convergences between the NDE narratives and stories as they are analyzed by C. S. Lewis in his essay ‘On stories’.

Published: August 2022

The study was designed to investigate Ethno-Religious Conflicts and Upsurge of Violent Crimes in Taraba State, Nigeria. The study made use of a cross-sectional research design. Data were collected from a randomly selected sub-set of Taraba state adult population (1,283,817). From the three senatorial districts of the state (Northern, Central, and Southern), two (2) Local Government Areas were purposively selected, being the areas with a history of intense ethno-religious conflicts were included in the study. The sample size was 1110, drawn using a mixed multi-stage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics like frequencies/percentages tables and charts were employed in interpreting the data, while chi-square and Pearson’s correlation analysis were used in analyzing the research hypotheses. A hierarchical multiple regression model was employed to predict socio-demographic factors associated with perceived nexus between ethno-religious conflicts and violent crimes. The study found out among others, a high perceived role of arms proliferation during ethno-religious conflicts in the growing incidence of violent crime (90.1%). The Paper among other recommendations recommended for proactive security measures to be employed to ensure that ethnic militias are not allowed to bear firearms and light weapons. They should embark on disarmament and mopping up of weapons.
Acute and subacute oral toxicity evaluation of Antarctic krill protein in Kunming mice
Authors: Liu Zhidong , Lin Na , Gao Fei
Published: August 2022

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) protein is widely acknowledged as a potential animal protein source due to its large biomass with excellent nutritional and utilisation properties. However, safety assessments of Antarctic krill protein (AKP) are highly warranted before its use as human food. The present work thus assessed the safety of AKP in a Kunming mice model through acute toxicity and a 28-day feeding study, where the Kunming mice were fed with AKP or control diets. In the acute toxicity study, a single oral dose of 10 g/kg bodyweight (BW) AKP caused no death or abnormal effects in male and female mice, and the bodyweight gain remained within the normal range. In the repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study, AKP was orally administered to Kunming mice at the doses of 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 g/kg BW/day for 28 days. The absolute and relative liver weight gained was only observed in the mice administered with high-dose of AKP. However, this increase was incidental as no weight gain or histopathological alterations were observed in the main groups. These findings were consistent with the normal background lesions in the clinically normal mice used in the present work, which were considered spontaneous and/or incidental in nature and unrelated to the treatment. These results demonstrated that AKP did not exert significant acute and subacute toxicity upon oral administration to Kunming mice.

‘White Malaga’ table grapes are seeded and widely grown in Thailand. They are converted by induction into seedless grapes to increase their value. It is difficult to identify seedlessness in table grapes without destroying the grape berry. The present work thus described a quick and non-destructive method for detecting and predicting seedlessness in ‘White Malaga’ table grapes by using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy together with chemometric analysis. The NIR spectra of 280 grape samples were recorded after harvest. Firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), pH, titratable acidity (TA), tartaric acid, number of seeds, and relevant physical properties were analysed. The width and weight of plant growth regulator (PGR) treatments were significantly lower than those in the untreated grapes, while the length, firmness, TA, and tartaric acid were not significantly different. Partial least square (PLS) regression was used to investigate the prediction. Classification models, namely principal component analysis (PCA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), were used to identify seedlessness. It was found that, QDA, as a representative of linear classification, resulted in the best classification of seeded and seedless performance, where the percentages of predictive ability (%PA), the percentages of model stability (%MS), and the percentages of correctly classified (%CC) were 97.27, 98.57, and 96.23%, respectively, for the training set with no pre-processing. Therefore, the NIR spectroscopy technique can be a non-destructive technique for seedlessness detection in ‘White Malaga’ table grapes.

Indonesian people had long used plants as traditional medicine. In addition to maintaining health, traditional medicine was in great demand and prevents disease. We often encounter syzygium polyanthum leaves as a complement in tamarind and pepes, which were believed to act as a preservative. This study aimed to determine qualitatively bay leaf extract as an antimicrobial, Salmonella typhi. Methanol extraction of syzygium polyantum leaves would be partitioned with hexane and ethyl acetate solvents. The anti-microbial potential was shown in the Maximum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) test, the identification of the compound using GC-MS and its potential as antibacterial was shown by docking the molecule using docking in silico technique against 5L3J protein. The MIC results were shown that the hexane partition at 100 ppm had 22.09 mm inhibition and the ethyl acetate partition at 80 ppm, had 18.15 mm inhibition. The GC-MS’ testing  resulted of syzygium polianthum leaf extract showed the presence of alpha-pinene, alpha-cubenene, 1H-Cyclopropa [a] naphthalene, nerolidol, humulene epoxide II, phytol, 9,12,15-Octadecatrien-1-ol, Squalene, Alpha-tocopherol, Beta-sitosterol, azulene, valence, Azulene and beta-Panasinen. However, the lowest binding affinity value was obtained from the cytosterol compound of −9.45 kcal/mol in ethyl acetate and Valencene solutions of −6.93 kcal/mol in n-hexane solvent. While the positive control-Chloramphenicol was −36.93 kcal/mol. This means that the syzygium polyanthum leaf extract could be used as an alternative medicine for typhoid.

The climate can thus be viewed as a mixture or aggregate of weather. Weather describes conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere behaves over relatively long periods of time. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), 30 years is the classical period for performing the statistics used to define climate. As a consequence, the 30-year period proposed by the WMO should be considered more as an indicator than a norm that must be followed in all cases. Climate is thus now more and more frequently defined in a wider sense as the statistical description of the climate system. This includes atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere of the interactions between them (IPCC, 2007). Climatic conditions help to shape various ecosystems and habitat around the globe. The climatic factors are impact on physical features as well as human life. It is a major role play in human environment and they also effects on his food, clothing, dwellings, and their occupations. Agriculture, our primary source of food, is critical for human survival, but its importance for the environmental climate. The agriculture system are depends on the climatic conditions and that’s view presence agriculture is an uncertain. The plants and animals are affected by atmospheric conditions; it is not unreasonable that we should expect man to show effects of a similar (Robert, 1907). Agriculture and climate are two broad factors effect on crop and livestock. Climatic conditions effects on the distribution of crops, livestock and their productivity (Madhuri S., 2003). The crop growth and its productivity are declining due to increase in temperature, declining organic matter of soil and increase rate of evapotranspiration. The temperature and humidity increase in summer and winter season to increase pests, diseases and weeds. Changes in precipitation pattern increase the likelihood of short run crop failure and long run production declines (Crosson, 1997).

In context of pandemic COVID-19, all communities of world are under strong psychologically pressure of outbreak corona virus and its impact on human life. Due to its severity and deleterious effects, controlling and transmission of COVID-19 virus among society is at highest priority all over the world. According to WHO (World Health Organization) to avoid the infection of COVID-19 virus and combat directly with virus use the sanitizer or disinfected on daily basis as preventive strategies against COVID-19 virus. In present attempt, we have highlighted the detrimental effects of disinfectant or sanitizer on human and environment. Information on use of disinfectant and sanitizer to prevent the spreading of virus and its deleterious effects was collected from 10 families by web based (Google form) survey through different questionnaires. Gathered information reveals, that families are continuously applying disinfectant or sanitizer on body surface to inactive or destroy the effects of microorganism. As sanitizer and disinfectant is complex mixture of various concentrations of chemical agents and such chemicals may have adverse impact on human health, environment, water ecosystem and aquatic life as well. Collected information concluded that, about 90% families agreed that sanitizer and other disinfectant have adverse impact on human health, 80% families granted that sanitizer produce adverse effect on water ecosystem and 70% families said that sanitizer and other disinfectant have detrimental impact on environment and aquatic life. Finally, we recommended that, to reduce the side effect of disinfectant and sanitizer, we have to use the safe concentration, eco-friendly and herbal based sanitizer and disinfectant in present pandemic scenario.

The Influence of Boron on Some Plant Nutrients in Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Authors: Jadhav Sujeet S.
Published: August 2022

Boron is one of the important micronutrients which plays important role in plant growth. The supply of boron to the plants plays key role in behaviour of other macro and micro nutrients in the plant. The response of plants to boron varies with soil type, environmental conditions and plant species also. So, the excess or deficiency of boron may affect the uptake and availability of other plant nutrients. The sweet Sorghum is important crop used as food, fodder, fuel and fertilizer. It can produce sugar juice from the stem that is useful to produce ethanol, jaggery and syrup along with grains. The sweet Sorghum c. v. Madhura and RSSV-9 were selected for the present investigation. The seeds of these varieties were sown in the earth pots having 2x3x2 feet in size and depth. An average of 25 kg of black soil was used with average 2 kg of organic farm manures per pot. The selected soil was analysed for its original boron concentration. The soil is having 0.0339 ppm boron in it with p H 6.7. After 15 days, 40 days and 70 days of sowing, the pots were treated with different boron concentrations like 10 ppm, 50 ppm and 100 ppm along with control having distilled water only. Five fresh leaf samples were collected randomly on the 5 th day of last boron treatment and washed with distilled water for further analysis. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to study the behaviour of inorganic contents like magnesium and manganese in sweet sorghum cultivars Madhura and RSSV-9 after treating with different boron concentrations. The results are showing consistent decrease in magnesium content due to all the boron treatments in both the cultivars but significant decrease in Mg content reported with 100 ppm boron in c. v. Madhura. The manganese activity is increased due to 10 ppm boron treatment in both the varieties. As boron treatment is increased the Mn level is decreased as compare to control plants in both cultivars under investigation.

Authors: Ramachann Nithya , Al-Muqaimi Saeed Khalfan , Al-Hajri Nasser Rashid
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Oman is the first country among the GCC countries to implement corporate governance (CG) principles. Corporate governance regulates the fundamental principles that govern the activities of businesses, like the responsibilities and roles of the Board of Directors (BoD), financial reporting and auditing, remunerations, and internal control system. Banks play a vital role in the economic development of a country. Adopting CG practices and the audit function in banks paves the way for transparent financial reporting. Furthermore, the audit committee has an impact on the financial performance of a firm as they undertake the task of preventing fraudulent financial reporting. From the above discussion, the purpose of this study is to understand and examine the characteristics of the audit committee by exploring its association with its performance. Methodology: All the eight listed banks on the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) have been selected for the study, and data has been collected from the banks' annual reports for five years (2016-2020). The study has been conducted based on three CG characteristics such as the number of members in the committee, number of committee meetings and number of non-executive members in the committee. Measuring firm performance has been done by calculating Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Correlation and regression analysis has been used to study the relationship between CG factors and bank performance. ROA and ROE are dependent variables. The three CG factors are independent variables, and bank size has been used as a control variable. Results/Findings: This study shows a positive relationship between the banks' performance and the number of committee meetings and non-executive members and a negative impact between the number of members in the committee and bank performance. Originality and Practical Implications: Further research on this study area can be conducted after 2021, considering the impact of audit committee characteristics on bank performance before and during COVID – 19.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: This study examined the effect of the rate of carbon footprints in an economy on the financial performance of listed insurance companies in selected countries in the sub-Saharan African region. It is argued in the study that factors that are external to the insurance industry (carbon footprint) intensify risks faced by the insurance firms. Methodology: The study employs secondary data from the sampled insurance firms' annual audited financial statements. Data was collected from forty-five (45) insurance firms in eight (8) selected sub-Saharan African countries from 2010 to 2019. A dynamic estimation procedure was adopted based on the system GMM estimation technique using dependent variables (ROA, ROE and Tobin’s Q), explanatory variable CO2 emission and moderating variables of firm’s size, economic growth and inflation rate. Results/Findings:The results from the study reveal that the pattern of effects of carbon footprints differ in terms of the measurement used for a performance indicator. In particular, the study found that the level of carbon footprint in the economy exerts significant negative effects on all the performance indicators of insurance firms. Optimal risk and sustainable insurance procedures are therefore recommended in the study.

The research undertaken is based on the analysis of speciality literature, the regulatory framework applicable to accounting in Romania, and the accounting officer based on International Financial Reporting Standards. Results and Findings: The study aims to identify the advantages and threats that digitalization induces in the field of accounting practice and the major paradigm shifts that digitalization will bring to the exercise of the profession by accountants. The study will also look at the limitations that digitalization has in the field of accounting and the significant changes that digitalization will impose on the education and training of professionals in the field of accounting.
A Risk Management Framework For Life Insurance Companies
Authors: Trivedi Sonal
Published: August 2022

Purpose: After the outbreak of COVID-19, the insurance business has experienced losses in terms of decreased demand for an insurance policy, lower return on investment, and increased claim settlement. Thus, risk management plays a significant role in mitigating the risk for businesses. However, risk management is restricted as a predefined approach for managing threats of uncertainty resulting from the activity or error of humans. Furthermore, the life insurance industry faces the challenge of paying claims in case of an increased death rate after the outbreak of COVID-19. Thus, there is a need for a better risk management framework. Methodology: This paper identifies the gap between the existing risk management model and the model specified by IRDA and suggests a model to mitigate the insurance risk. The study posits that whether an individual is more suitable or not for life insurance can be decided based on a simple factor. By using this tool/model of risk management, a life insurance company can reduce its risk of providing insurance to a customer exposed to high risk. Practical Implications: This study will help life insurance companies to mitigate their insurance risk.

Purpose: The study focused on the effect of technological advancement on the Risk management of insurance companies in Nigeria. The study's objectives were to examine how technological innovations enhance the identification of policyholder risk by insurance companies and evaluate how information technology has improved the identification of risks inherent in investment by insurance companies. Methodology: A survey research design was employed in this study. The study focused on the 14 composite insurance companies in Nigeria, only five of which were selected based on gross premium written and retention ratio. The targeted population of the study was 1569, while the sample size was 181 employees of the selected insurance companies. A well-structured questionnaire was formulated and administered, out of which 163 were filled and used for analyses using regression analysis with the SPSS (IBM 23) package. Results and Findings: The results showed that technological innovation had enhanced insurance companies' identification of policyholder risks. In contrast, information technology has not improved the identification of risks inherent in investment by insurance companies. Thus, the study recommended, among others, that insurance companies should invest more in information technology to help achieve better results.

Kotitaloustyön poliittinen talous ja moninaisen eriarvoisuuden muodot
Authors: Mesiäislehto Merita , Näre Lena , Wide Elisabeth
Published: August 2022

Tämä artikkeli analysoi kotitaloustyötä ja siihen kytkeytyvää eriarvoisuutta Suomessa. Kansain­välisesti tarkasteltuna kotitaloustyö eli kodeissa tapahtuva palkattu siivous- ja hoivatyö on yksi nopeimmin kasvavista toimialoista, joka työllistää miljoonia ihmisiä Euroopassa. Silti työ jää usein näkymättömäksi. Uusliberaalin talouskurin nimissä julkisen sektorin osuutta ja vastuuta hoivasta on pyritty vähentämään niin globaalissa pohjoisessa kuin etelässä, minkä johdosta hoiva siirtyy instituutioista enenevässä määrin koteihin. Hoivan ja siivoustyön siirtyminen koteihin synnyttää globaaleja liikkuvuuksia kotitaloustyön perässä. Artikkeli tarkastelee kotitaloustyötä tekevien työntekijöiden asemaa Suomessa. Se tutkii, minkälaisena kotitaloustyö näyttäytyy Suomessa kansainvälisesti verrattuna ja millaisia moninaisen eriarvoisuuden muotoja koti­taloustyöhön liittyy. Artikkeli taustoittaa kotitaloustyön ilmiötä kansallisilla tilastoilla kotitaloustyötä tekevistä henkilöistä ja heitä palkkaavista kotitalouksista. Empiirinen aineisto koostuu kotitalous­työtä palkkaavien työnantajien ja kotitaloustyötä tekevien ulkomaalaisten työntekijöiden haastatte­luista. Artikkeli osoittaa, että kotitaloustyöhön liittyvä eriarvoisuus juontuu työntekijöiden oikeudel­lisesta asemasta, kotitaloustyön statuksesta ja luonteesta sekä työsuhteen muodosta.
INDICATORS OF HUMAN SOCIALITY IN SLOVENIA
AND THE NETHERLANDS: EVIDENCE FROM
EXPERIMENTS WITH STUDENTS
Authors: Velkavrh Žiga , Ule Aljaž
Published: August 2022

In the article we report a series of experiments
with volunteers designed to detect differences in behavioural characteristics among Slovenian, Dutch and
international students. Using eight standard tasks from
experimental economics, we investigate the differences
using experimental measures of solidarity, trust, cooperation, positive and negative reciprocity, competition,
honesty, and risk attitudes. No significant cohort effects
in any of the eight decisions are found when we compare the Slovenian and international cohorts. Still, when
comparing the Dutch and Slovenian cohorts, Dutch
students are found to exhibit lower levels of solidarity,
generosity and honesty. This points to differences in sociality between institutionally similar yet ideologically distant countries like Slovenia and the Netherlands.

Članek prinaša v Slovenijo prvo vojaško sociološko raziskavo o inkluzivnosti istospolno usmerjenih
pripadnic in pripadnikov v Slovensko vojsko. Na podlagi fokusiranih strukturiranih intervjujev smo problematiko proučili z obeh zornih kotov; s socialnega
(percepcije lezbijk in gejev) in institucionalnega vidika
(percepcije Slovenske vojske). Raziskava je pokazala,
da so v pretežno heteronormativnem okolju istospolno
usmerjene pripadnice in pripadniki Slovenske vojske –
kljub varstvu dostojanstva in integritete – izpostavljeni
različnim oblikam verbalne diskriminacije, nezaupanje v disciplinske organe institucije pa jim vzbuja strah
pred razkritjem istospolne usmerjenosti. Potreba po
razpravljanju o tej dokaj tabuizirani problematiki je
očitna, kot je nujno prepoznavanje prednosti socialne
diverzitete v sodobnih vojaških organizacijah.

Published: August 2022

The aims of this study were to compare surface electromyographic (EMG) activity and kinematic variables among open, somersault, bucket and crossover backstroke-to-breaststroke turning techniques, and identify relationships between the integrated electromyography (iEMG) and kinematics profile focusing on the rotation and push-off efficacy. Following a four-week of systematically increasing contextual interference intervention program, eight 12.38 ± 0.55 years old male swimmers randomly performed twelve repetitions (three in each technique) turns in and out of the wall at maximum speed until the 7.5 m reference mark. Surface EMG values of the right vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis, rectus abdominis, external oblique, erector spinae and latissimus dorsi were recorded and processed using the integrated electromyography (iEMG) and the total integrated electromyography (TiEMG) that was expressed as a percentage of iEMGmax to normalize per unit of time for each rotation and push-off phase. Complementarily, 2D sagittal views from an underwater video camera were digitized to determine rotation and push-off efficacy. The crossover turn presented the highest rotation and push-off iEMG values. Erector spinae and gastrocnemius medialis had the highest activity in the rotation and push-off phases (89 ± 10 and 98 ± 69%, respectively). TiEMG depicted a very high activity of lower limb muscles during push-off activity (222 ± 17 to 247 ± 16%). However, there were no relation between TiEMG and rotation and push-off time, tuck index and final push-off velocity during the rotation and the push-off phases across all the studied turning techniques. The rotation efficacy in age-group swimmers were dependent on rotation time (p = 0.04). The different turning techniques were not distinguishable regarding iEMG activity as a possible determinant of rotation and push-off efficacy. Our study has direct implications for selecting appropriate exercises and designing training programs for optimizing the rotation and push-off phases of backstroke-to-breaststroke turning at young ages.
Effects of Maximal Eccentric Exercise on Deep Fascia Stiffness of the Knee Flexors: A Pilot Study using Shear-Wave Elastography
Authors: Wilke Jan , Schwiete Carsten , Behringer Michael
Published: August 2022

The deep fascia is intimately linked to skeletal muscle and may be involved in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The present study therefore explored the effect of eccentric exercise on fascia stiffness and its relation with DOMS. Healthy active male adults (n = 19, 27 ± 4 years) performed 6 x 10 maximal eccentric knee flexions using an isokinetic dynamometer. Before (baseline) as well as immediately (T0), 1 hour (T1), and each day up to 72 hours (T24 to T72) afterwards, shear wave elastography was used to measure the mechanical stiffness of the biceps femoris muscle and the overlying fascia. As a surrogate of DOMS, pain upon palpation was captured by means of a 100mm visual analogue scale. While muscle stiffness remained unchanged (p > 0.05), deep fascia stiffness increased from baseline to T24 (median: 18 kPa to 21.12 kPa, p = 0.017) and T72 (median: 18 kPa to 21.3 kPa, p = 0.001) post-exercise. Linear regression showed an association of stiffness changes at T24 and pressure pain at T72 (r2 = 0.22, p < 0.05). Maximal eccentric exercise leads to a stiffening of the fascia, which, in turn, is related to the magnitude of future DOMS. Upcoming research should therefore gauge the effectiveness of interventions modifying the mechanical properties of the connective tissue in order to accelerate recovery.
