Authors: Muhammad ASIF , Palitha Edirisingha  , Ali Riasat , Shehzad Saqib
Published: June 2021

The overload in teachers’ role has been renowned and optimized by generative adaptation of technology, which means teaching capability can be improved if educationalists blend technology tropically and timely. Based on this belief, this study tried to judge the teachers’ practices in Blended Learning (BL) environment in the context of secondary level students. For this purpose, an empirical study was conducted at Government High School No.1 (boys) Tordher district Swabi Khyber Pakhtun Khwa (KPK). All 120 enrolled science students of grade 9 and 4 science teachers participated in the study. The students’ perception of teachers’ practices of preparedness, innovation, and developing feedback skills in the BL environmentwere ascertained through a survey questionnaire whereas 20 students were also interviewed randomly. The responses were measured through a 5-point based Likert scale, data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The research method used for this study was the explanatory sequential approach of mixed-method (Creswell, 2014). Based on the study findings, teachers’ practices improved in the BL environment and hence recommended that secondary school teachers need to be encouraged to use the BL approach instead of merely using Information Communication Technology (ICT) or traditional methods of teaching.
The Relationship between the Teachers’ Expectation on the School Principals’ Ethical Behaviors and the School Principals’ Ethical Leadership Behaviors
Authors: Ilgan Abdurrahman , Ekiz Mustafa
Published: June 2021

This study aimed to analyze the teachers’ expectations related to the school principals’ ethical behaviors and the frequency of the school principals’ performing ethical leadership behaviors based on the teachers’ perceptions. Data were collected through the Teacher Ethical Expectation Scale (ÖEBÖ) and School Principal’s Performing Ethical Leadership Scale (PELBS) which were developed by the researchers for the aim of this research. The sample of the study consisted of 541 participant teachers selected from the population of the teachers working at public schools located in Sakarya, province of Turkey, during the 2018-2019 academic year. According to the teachers’ perceptions, it was found that the teachers’ expectations of the school principals’ ethical behaviors and the frequency of the principals’ performing ethical leadership behaviors were quite high. It was also seen that there was a significant positive relationship at a low level because of the path analysis, which was done to predict the school principals’ performing ethical behaviors through the teachers’ expectations on ethical behaviors. It was concluded that the ethical behaviors from the school principals expected by the teachers as the independent variable were seen to explain 8.6% of the variance in ethical behaviors performed by the school principals as the dependent variable.
Influence of graphene nano-platelets dispersion on the thermo-physical properties of sunflower oil
Authors: Bensam Raj , Muthuraj M.
Published: June 2021

In this article, thermal stability, viscosity, density and surface tension of graphene nano-platelet dispersed in sunflower oil are experimentally determined by varying the graphene concentration (0.1-1.1 wt.%) and temperature (40-100?C). The SEM micrograph and the EDS spectra are used to characterize the graphene. Nanofluids are prepared by ultrasonication technique (two-step method) and the maximum thermal stability of about 280?C is achieved at 1.1 wt.% graphene nanofluids. The dynamic viscosity diminishes in an exponential shape in acquiescence with the Arrhenius equation and the densities of samples are characteristic with linear decrement in the estimated temperature range. Density and surface tension increase with the graphene concentration, while a reverse trend is observed with temperature raise. The maximum thermal stability, viscosity, density and surface tension is obtained in the nanofluid with 1.1 wt.% concentration and the minimum is obtained in the nanofluid with 0.1 wt.% concentration.
U.S. Evidence from D&O Insurance on Accounting-Related Agency Costs: Implications for Country-Specific Studies
Authors: Donelson Dain C. , Monsen Brian R. , Yust Christopher G.
Published: June 2021

Many studies use country-specific evidence to investigate research questions of broad interest due to data availability or to exploit an exogenous event that allows identification. One such research stream largely examines Canadian directors' and officers' (D&O) insurance and finds that more coverage (i.e., higher limits) is negatively associated with financial reporting quality and positively related to litigation (accounting-related agency costs). However, the U.S. and Canada differ on key issues relevant to securities litigation and D&O insurance. Thus, we predict and find that premiums, rather than limits, provide information about U.S. accounting-related agency costs. Nonetheless, the incremental information provided by premiums about accounting-related agency costs is limited, and audit fees provide better information about these agency costs. Thus, although researchers argue for disclosure of U.S. D&O insurance information, the usefulness of such disclosures may be limited because audit fees are already disclosed. Our findings suggest caution in broadly generalizing country-specific studies.

Authors: Torres-Zapata Ángel Esteban , Brito-Cruz Teresa del Jesús , Villanueva-Echavarría José Rafael
Published: June 2021

El dominio de una lengua extranjera, específicamente el idioma inglés en América Latina, es una necesidad para todo profesional debido al proceso de globalización. Este fenómeno ha sido el principal motivo por el cual dicha lengua ha adquirido importancia a nivel mundial. Por tanto, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue caracterizar el dominio de conocimientos del idioma inglés en estudiantes de nuevo ingreso de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de una universidad pública en el sureste de México, lo cual permitirá la toma de decisiones en cuanto a la actualización del currículo de los programas educativos. Para ello, se desarrolló un estudio con enfoque cuantitativo; la muestra fue de tipo no probabilístico, y se consideró a la población total de estudiantes de nuevo ingreso de la facultad (generación 2020). El instrumento para la recolección de los datos fue diseñado por el cuerpo académico adjunto al centro de idiomas de la institución y organizado en tres secciones I: Auditiva; II: Lectura, y III: Uso del vocabulario y gramática. La evaluación diagnóstica del idioma inglés versión en línea se llevó a cabo en el mes de julio de 2020 y el análisis de datos se realizó durante el mes de agosto de 2020. Los resultados fueron procesados con el paquete estadístico SPSS, versión 25.0, para Windows. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo. El estudio estuvo conformado por una población de 602 estudiantes de nuevo ingreso de seis programas educativos de la facultad, de los cuales n = 424 (70.43 %) corresponden al género femenino y n =178 (29.57 %) al masculino. Los resultados demuestran que 77.41 % se encuentra en un nivel preliminar Básico. De hecho, el programa donde se evidencia el mejor desempeño es Psicología, mientras que el más bajo se encuentra en Educación Física. En síntesis, los niveles de logro alcanzados por los estudiantes están por debajo de la media nacional, lo que significa que aún requieren más tiempo de capacitación. Además, se deben identificar las deficiencias y dificultades en el aprendizaje del idioma inglés en los niveles académicos anteriores. Por ello, es posible concluir que la universidad debe actualizar su currículo y sus orientaciones pedagógicas para mejorar el dominio del idioma inglés y con ello la calidad de la educación profesional.
El reto de las universidades públicas de México para incorporar una educación pertinente acorde con la sustentabilidad
Authors: Zúñiga Sánchez Oscar
Published: June 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo de corte documental fue brindar una discusión teórica en torno a conceptos relacionados con el término sustentabilidad (es decir, desarrollo sostenible, educación ambiental, formación ambiental, ecopedagogía, biopedagogía y educación para el desarrollo sostenible) con el fin de detectar coincidencias y desacuerdos que sirvan de apoyo para gestores y tomadores de decisión de las políticas universitarias en el momento de incorporar dichos vocablos en el currículo de las instituciones de educación superior. Luego de presentar esa discusión teórica se puede concluir  que las universidades públicas del país, como organizaciones complejas, tienen el reto de comprender e implementar los principios de la sustentabilidad dentro del currículo universitario como parte de su compromiso con la Agenda 2030 y los objetivos para el desarrollo sustentable. Asimismo, se debe tomar en cuenta que la estructuración actual que caracteriza a las universidades públicas del país —basada en la departamentalización del conocimiento— favorece a la fragmentación de la ciencia, realidad cuestionada por la EDS, la cual invita a la reconciliación de las distintas disciplinas para contribuir al diseño y desarrollo de nuevos modelos teórico-metodológicos que permitan dar respuestas a los desafíos que enfrenta el desarrollo sostenible.

Introduction. Risk assessment is an integral initial stage of the risk management procedure aimed at reducing damage to the health and life of employees. Currently, the legislation does not establish uniform concepts and criteria for assessing occupational risk. Scientific literature presents a variety of approaches and methods for assessing occupational risk from harmful and dangerous factors of industrial activity. Problem Statement. It is necessary to develop a model for assessing occupational risk in the units of the Federal Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia, which allows us to take into account the likelihood of harm to the health of an employee as a result of exposure to harmful and (or) dangerous industrial factors and the severity of health disorders as a result of such exposure. Theoretical Part. For the assessment of occupational risk in the units of the Federal Fire-Fighting Service of EMERCOM of Russia, we take the definition of risk established by the National Standard of the Russian Federation GOST R 12.0.010-2009 "Occupational safety standards system. Occupational safety and health management systems. Hazard and risks identification and estimation of risks". The assessment of the probability of causing harm to the health of an employee was carried out using the following indicators: the frequency of injuries, the frequency of death, the frequency of disability. The severity of health disorder was assessed through the indicator of labor loss by personnel from health damage. Conclusion. The paper considers various methods for assessing occupational risk from harmful and hazardous factors of industrial activity. A mathematical model is proposed for assessing the risk of health damage in the units of the Federal Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia on the principle of labor loss by personnel from various types of health damage. Its values were calculated for employees of the Federal Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia for 2015-2019.

The aim of the study - to study the clinical features and indicators for asthma control inoverweight children to optimize treatment strategies.Material and methods. 200 schoolchildren with asthma who were treated in the pulmoallergy department of the Chernivtsi Regional Children's Clinical Hospital have beenexamined. 52 patients with excess body weight (body mass index was greater than 25,0)belonged to group I, and children with body weight corresponding to the age norm (bodymass index from 18,0 to 24,9) were included into clinical group II under observation.Results. It has been found that the average number of points according to the ASTquestionnaire in patients of group I reached 14,0 ± 1,33 points, and in the comparisongroup – 16,3 ± 0,54 points (p˃0,05). At the same time, the share of patients withuncontrolled course of the disease among the overweight children reached 61,5% incomparison to 48,3% in the comparison group (p˃0,05).Indices of the risk of uncontrolled asthma (the sum of AST test scores <16) in childrenwith overweight have shown the following results: odds ratio = 1,6 (95% CI: 0,29-8,59),relative risk = 1,4 95% CI: 1,00-2,08) and attributive risk = 6,8%. Before treatment theindex of AKDNFG - 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazones (AKDNFG) of the main character in thegroup of excess body weight children was 60,8 mmol /g of protein, and in group of normalbody weight children – 59,6 ± 9 mmol /g of protein. After the course of basic therapy,these indices gave next results – 47,2 ± 4,18 mmol/g of protein in group I and 4,3 ± 0,29mmol /g of protein (p> 0,05) in group II.Conclusions. Bronchial asthma in overweight children is more likely to debut at an earlyage and characterized by a persistent course. Predisposition to the body overweight inpatients with bronchial asthma has a negative effect on the indices of the disease controlachievement, although it is accompanied by an evidence decrease of the inflammatoryprocess of the respiratory tract in the course of treatment.

The aim of the study - to study the diagnostic significance of clinical and laboratoryparameters in the verification of acute non-streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis in childrenin order to determine rational treatment tactics.Material and methods. To achieve this aim, two clinical groups were formed. The first (I,main) group consisted of 66 patients with acute tonsillopharyngitis of non-streptococcaletiology, as evidenced by the negative result of bacterial examination of the lavage ofthe pharynx and posterior pharyngeal wall. The second (II) clinical group included 32children diagnosed with "streptococcal acute tonsillopharyngitis".Results. The total score on the McIsaac scale, which did not exceed 2 points, wasregistered in 15.2 ± 4.4% of group I patients and 6.2 ± 4.2% of patients in the comparisongroup. The sensitivity of the method was 15.2%, specificity – 93.7%, positive and negativepredicted value – 83.3% and 34.8%, respectively, with odds ratio – 2.6 [95% CI: 0.5-13,0]. The average content of leukocytes in the blood less than 8.9 × 109/l was registeredin 57.6% of patients of group I and 48.8% of representatives of the second (P˃0.05). Thesensitivity of this laboratory test in the detection of non-streptococcal tonsillopharyngitiswas 57.6%, specificity – 55.6%, predicted value of a positive result – 54.1%, predictedvalue of a negative result – 59.1%. The relative risk of non-streptococcal etiology of ATPwhen registering a patient with less than 8.9 × 109/l of peripheral blood leukocytes was1.7 (95% CI 0.9-2.9), the absolute risk – 0.1 with odds ratio of 1.7 (95% CI 0.9-2.9).Conclusions. The proposed clinical scales and some paraclinical parameters haveinsufficient diagnostic value, so they cannot be used independently for early verificationof non-streptococcal etiology of tonsillopharyngitis in children.

Purpose - to study particular properties of the course of the infection among hospitalizedchildren depending on the nature of their treatment provided in pre-hospitalizationperiod in order to improve the results of treatment of children with COVID-19.Material and methods. In a random sample 263 children with COVID-19, admittedto the Department of infectious diseases of the Regional Children's Clinical Hospitalof Chernivtsi, have been examined. The first clinical group includes 68 patients thatreceived antiviral treatment as a part of symptomatic therapy (average age 6,5 ± 0,74years, male ratio 54,4%), and the comparison group - 195 children that did not receiveantiviral activity treatment (average age 6,4 ± 0,41 years, male ratio 50,8%).Results. Most patients with COVID-19 presented signs of moderate to severe medicalstate when admitted to hospital. Patients that did not receive any antiviral therapy in thepre-hospitalization period showed delayed body temperature normalization response (onaverage on the 5th day of the treatment) and, starting from the day 10 of hospitalization,experienced elevated body temperature again caused by infectious and inflammatoryprocess as a result of COVID-19 complications. Changes concerning hemostasisinclude an increase of absolute count of platelets in the blood, reduction in plasmarecalcification time and increase of plasma D-dimer levels (p <0,05). Administration ofantiviral therapy to the children with Covid-19 in the outpatient setting is accompaniedwith absolute risk reduction of a positive PCR test 25% on the 14th day of the disease.Conclusions. Therefore, administration of antiviral therapy to the children with Covid-19in the outpatient setting is characterized with slightly faster temperature normalizationresponse, better clinical signs, virus elimination (minimization of the possibility of apositive PCR test 25%), as well as less excessive hypercoagulable disorder.

The portion of rural residents was 66.6%, girls(75%) predominated among children who fell ill.Results. It has been revealed that in most cases the contact of newborns with COVID-19patients was confirmed. Mostly children were admitted from home on average onthe second day after the onset of the disease, predominantly with the typical clinicalsymptoms of acute respiratory viral infection, at the onset of the disease gastrointestinalmanifestations prevailed in only two of patients. The course of the disease was favorable.Conclusions. The detected changes in the follow-up infants’ complete blood count requirefurther dynamic clinical and paraclinical observation.
LA OBRA DE GARCÍA GOYENA Y EL PROCESO CODIFICADOR IBEROAMERICANO
Authors: Rodríguez Ennes Luis
Published: June 2021

Florencio García Goyena nació en Tafalla (Navarra-España) en 1783. Fue un español que vivió en el exilio francés durante diez años debido a sus ideas liberales. Por este tiempo conoció de primera mano las obras jurídicas revolucionarias y llegó a ser un admirador de Napoleón y muy particularmente del gran Código de 1804. Cuando regresa a España es nombrado Ministro de Justicia y en 1847 fue elegido Jefe de Gobierno. En 1851 escribió un Proyecto de Código Civil que contiene alrededor de dos mil artículos inspirado fundamentalmente en el Código napoleónico. Este texto jamás fue promulgado por razones políticas pero tuvo un poderoso influjo en los tres grandes legisladores iberoamericanos: Bello, Teixeira de Freitas y Vélez Sársfield.
ALGUNAS PRECISIONES EN PUNTO AL HISTÓRICO DISTANCIAMIENTO ENTRE LOS ÓRGANOS JURISDICCIONALES Y LA CIUDADANÍA: LA POSITIVA EXPERIENCIA ANGLOSAJONA
Authors: Rodríguez Ennes Luis
Published: June 2021

En los países del Common Law la judicatura goza de una independencia plena del poder político y el hecho de que, en punto a su consideración social, ocupe la cima de los honores, no obsta en modo alguno para que coexista con una masiva participación popular en la administración de justicia y, en consecuencia, se constate un mayor acercamiento al ciudadano en general, tanto por lo que atañe al seguimiento de los trámites procesales como al empleo por parte de los juristas de un lenguaje llano, inteligible, sin merma en modo alguno de la exquisita cortesía que rodea todas las actuaciones procedimentales. Así las cosas, nos proponemos partir de las referencias históricas a la multisecular separación del Antiguo Régimen entre jueces y justiciables, para centrarnos en un análisis de la situación actual – que en poco ha mejorado la anterior – efectuando una comparación con la de los países que siguen el sistema del Common Law de cuya praxis judicial es factible extraer provechosas enseñanzas para un auténtico aggiornamento de nuestro Derecho adjetivo.

Politics and Ethic of Care of the Self in Albert Camus’s The Plague
Authors: Bairva Mukesh Kumar
Published: June 2021

Albert Camus’ The Plague articulates a new aesthetic of existence that resists biopolitical normalization. It means cultivating one’s self and not attempting to discover an authentic and hidden self because it entails a continual process of becoming.  The sudden eruption of plague in Oran, signifies a rupture in history of its people as the “bored populace is consumed by commercial habits aimed at making money”. In The Plague, if some people become more self-centred and insensitive, characters such as Rieux, Rambert, Peneloux and Joseph Grand show concern for the suffering people and stand in solidarity with them. Their characterization as ordinary individuals who assume responsibility for others’ existence in times of disaster reflects Camus’ hermeneutic of care of the self as an ethical project.  Camus aptly asserts that “ordinary acts of courage and kindness are more helpful than the illusion of superheroes”. Deriving a cue from Foucault, Heidegger and Levinas, the paper attempts to explore how care of the self is intertwined with ethics and politics. It is argued that without spiritual discipline and caring for others, the ethical transformation of self cannot take place. It indicates fashioning of the self more freely and self-reflexively and thus speaking truth to power and sacrificing for others. The paper examines this poetics of self which shares an ethical relationship with truth, freedom and kindness.

Published: June 2021

The study objective is describing the interpretation features of Kulakovsky's ideas and images in the history of Yakut Soviet literature; outlining the national uniqueness of the literary word by this classical poet. The methodological basis of the research is theoretical issues of source studies as a philology area, as well as major aspects of textual criticism. In this paper, we selected comparative and hermeneutical methods of text analysis based on the literary language analysis. The research results show that in Kulakovsky's texts the poetics of oral folk art is equated with an unshakable basis of his individual style, but in works of the classics there are distinct guidelines of the desire to detach from tradition to establish a literary form. The practical and theoretical significance of the research is to present new perspectives of studying the national classics problems.

This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of measures to support the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic in the People's Republic of China. A network description of economic and social support measures in China and other countries was made, and the relative amounts of support as a percentage of the gross domestic product produced were disclosed. The structure of economic support measures is analyzed. It was found that the relative size of the economy's aid does not affect the growth of the real gross product. On the example of China, the effectiveness of administrative actions to localize the pandemic and support the economy is revealed, while the role of educating the appropriate civil initiative is noted. During a pandemic, the key factor in the subsequent recovery of the economy is not the amount of cash injections and benefits provided, but the discipline and responsibility of the authorities and society.

The article considers the features of complex optimization of construction waste management and defines its role in the formation of the concept of "sustainable construction". The authors note that in order for the construction, demolition and waste management industries to remain competitive in the global market, they must continue developing and implement innovations in the supply chain to improve efficiency, sustainability, and reduce energy, waste, and resource consumption. This requires serious research on intelligent, mobile, and integrated systems. Radically advanced robotic artificial intelligence systems for sorting and processing must be developed with an emphasis on the required reuse of materials and components. Many industries face an uncertain future in which the applicability of today's technological constraints cannot be assumed. The construction industry is likely to be significantly impacted by the capabilities of transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, nanotechnology, virtual reality, and robotics. The application of such technologies presents significant opportunities for this industry.

Compliance control is successfully applied in the practice of risk management and procurement activities of many global and some Russian companies, often working with foreign investments. This tool has demonstrated high results in the system of internal control of contract performers when conducting purchases for state and municipal needs. Taking into account that compliance control is a fairly new area of research in Russia, an urgent and interesting task is to study the theoretical aspects and mechanisms of this type of control by Russian companies on a par with other traditional forms of control and audit of public procurement at the level of organizations.

Are heated tobacco products a healthy alternative to cigarettes?
Authors: Romaszko-Wojtowicz Anna , Doboszyńska Anna
Published: June 2021

As well as being an extremely widespread addiction, tobacco smoking is a well-known cause of numerous deaths around the world. Most (80–90%) of lung cancer cases occur among smokers. The awareness of harmful effects of smoking is growing constantly. Manufacturers of tobacco products have recently opted to face this challenge by marketing heated tobacco products. Based on the performed research, tobacco companies maintain that these products are less harmful. They advertise their products as a smokeless, unconventional, less harmful cigarette. Due to the short follow-up period, the studies on consequences of using heated tobacco products are still scarce. This article presents a review of the literature focused on the use of heated tobacco products as an alternative to traditional cigarettes.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a multivariable model and online decision-support calculator to aid in preoperative discrimination of benign from malignant splenic masses in dogs.

ANIMALS

522 dogs that underwent splenectomy because of splenic masses.

PROCEDURES

A multivariable model was developed with preoperative clinical data obtained retrospectively from the records of 422 dogs that underwent splenectomy. Inclusion criteria were the availability of complete abdominal ultrasonographic examination images and splenic histologic slides or histology reports for review. Variables considered potentially predictive of splenic malignancy were analyzed. A receiver operating characteristic curve was created for the final multivariable model, and area under the curve was calculated. The model was externally validated with data from 100 dogs that underwent splenectomy subsequent to model development and was used to create an online calculator to estimate probability of splenic malignancy in individual dogs.

RESULTS

The final multivariable model contained 8 clinical variables used to estimate splenic malignancy probability: serum total protein concentration, presence (vs absence) of ≥ 2 nRBCs/100 WBCs, ultrasonographically assessed splenic mass diameter, number of liver nodules (0, 1, or ≥ 2), presence (vs absence) of multiple splenic masses or nodules, moderate to marked splenic mass inhomogeneity, moderate to marked abdominal effusion, and mesenteric, omental, or peritoneal nodules. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the development and validation populations were 0.80 and 0.78, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The online calculator (T-STAT.net or T-STAT.org) developed in this study can be used as an aid to estimate the probability of malignancy in dogs with splenic masses and has potential to facilitate owners' decisions regarding splenectomy.
