Authors: Ocapan Jesus, Jr. , Tapayan Jennilyn
Published: April 2024

The transformational leadership attributes and leadership traits of nursing students are essential components in their competency development in Community Health Nursing. The study explored the level of transformational leadership and leadership traits of nursing students in relation to their level of competency in Community Health Nursing. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. 175 Level Two Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students were chosen as respondents through purposive sampling. The researcher utilized Mean, Standard Deviation, Frequency, Percentage, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient in the data analysis. Results revealed that the nursing students possessed high transformational leadership attributes and skills, leadership traits, and have a fair competency in their Community Health Nursing clinical exposure. Among the six constructs of transformational leadership, only delegation showed a highly influential relationship with competency. Meanwhile, no leadership trait manifested to correlate with nursing students’ competency at present. The study implies that nursing students with high transformational leadership attributes and high leadership traits will be future successful nurse leaders. Moreover, delegation skill is the key to becoming a competent leader and thus it is important to be introduced to nursing students even at their entry into the baccalaureate nursing education. This study also suggests that nursing educators ensure that they provide high-quality undergraduate nursing education, as this is vital in developing transformational leadership skills and improving leadership traits needed to produce competent nursing graduates who are well-equipped to work in the community setting.
Spiritual Birth: Exploring the Concept of 'Death before Death' in Mirza Khan Ansari's Poetry
Authors: Hashimi Sayed Asghar , Shihab Enayatullah , Hanif Khalilullah
Published: April 2024

The influence of theosophical and mystical principles permeates the poetry of the Rokhani Period, extending beyond its initial literary manifestation to subsequent poetic schools. This study delves into the concept of "death before death" within selected works of the esteemed poet Mirza Khan Ansari from the Rokhani Period. Referred to as "spiritual birth" in philosophy and "TAWALUD-E-MANAWI" in Farsi Dari, this theory is notably prevalent in Ansari's poetry. Central to Muslim belief is the anticipation of doomsday, underpinned by a commitment to truthfulness and righteousness. The imperative of preparing for death, abstaining from wrongdoing, aiding fellow beings, upholding the rights of Allah, and numerous other tenets all encapsulate the essence of "death before death." Thus, this research underscores the significance and urgency of exploring this theme. Through a meticulous examination conducted primarily in library settings, this paper elucidates how Mirza Khan's poetry embodies the theory of spiritual birth. It advocates for the prioritization of spiritual over physical birth and emphasizes the necessity of preparing for death as a transformative process. Employing descriptive and analytical methodologies, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between mortality and spirituality.

Authors: Costa Andressa Florcena Gama da , Morelatti Maria Raquel Miotto
Published: April 2024

Neste artigo, apresentam-se resultados de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida ao longo de cinco anos, cujo objetivo foi investigar o papel exercido pelo curso de licenciatura em Pedagogia e pela instituição escolar na forma como as professoras enfrentam os dilemas do início da carreira, sobretudo para ensinar Matemática, que possibilitam ou limitam o desenvolvimento profissional. Participaram da pesquisa cinco professoras formadas em instituições públicas e privadas que responderam a um questionário e participaram de entrevistas episódicas. Os dados evidenciaram mudanças graduais no ensino de Matemática motivadas pelo curso de formação inicial. E ainda, que o contexto de atuação influencia e pode até mesmo restringir a autonomia na organização das aulas. Conclui-se que o curso de licenciatura e a instituição escolar interferem nos seguintes aspectos reguladores do desenvolvimento profissional: afinidade/aversão à Matemática; isolamento/colaboração; conservadorismo/mudança e atuação por ensaio-e-erro versus a prática reflexiva.

As análises desse texto encontram-se sustentadas, entre outros, nos estudos de Machado (2011), Pimenta e Anastasiou (2014) e Tardif (2014). Como resultado foi possível inferir que a instituição precisa incorporar uma proposta permanente de formação pedagógica para seus docentes, pois isso contribui significativamente para a qualidade do ensino e para o desenvolvimento institucional.
Aceleradores do tipo mercapto-benzotiazol e mercapto-piridil. Parte I: relações estrutura e propriedades na vulcanização de NR e SBR
Authors: Costa Helson Moreira da , Ramos Valéria Dutra
Published: April 2024

Os dados experimentais de ROSTEK et al. (1996) para a vulcanização da borracha natural (NR) e do copolímero de estireno-butadieno (SBR) foram correlacionados com os parâmetros estruturais de moléculas de aceleradores derivados do mercapto-benzotiazol e do mercapto-piridil. Embora a presença de negro de fumo nas composições de NR e SBR tenha trazido limitações ao perfeito entendimento sobre a real influência dos diferentes tipos de aceleradores, a modelagem molecular mostrou-se bastante esclarecedora, pois gerou, através de equações lineares, correlações satisfatórias entre o tempo de cura prematura (t25 – t5) e diversos descritores moleculares (área superficial específica normalizada; polarizabilidade normalizada; lipossolubilidade e outros) que foram condensados na forma de componentes principais (CP’s) em combinações lineares provenientes da análise multivariada.

O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) é uma condição grave e potencialmente fatal, a qual apresenta um elevado impacto na saúde pública mundial e que requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar e protocolizada para o manejo adequado dessa condição. Uma revisão sistemática da literatura foi realizada, abrangendo estudos publicados nos últimos 5 anos sobre TCE e o manejo da hipertensão intracraniana (HIC). Os estudos analisados abordaram diferentes tratamentos para HIC associada com o TCE, apresentando como enfoque a recuperação neurológica e a redução de sequelas. A falta de evidências claras sobre a eficácia dos tratamentos atuais para HIC destaca a necessidade de diretrizes novas baseadas em evidências. O manejo da pressão intracraniana em pacientes com TCE é crucial para o tratamento e a prevenção de possíveis complicações graves. Além disso, estudos futuros devem explorar opções de tratamento mais consistentes e eficazes para pacientes com lesão cerebral traumática, a fim de estabelecer melhor curso terapêutico para essa condição.

The present experiment was conducted in the year 2021 at Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, Jobner, Rajasthan, to determine the optimum dose (LD50) and duration of the chemical mutagen treatment for the induction of desirable mutation. A set of 100 pre-soaked fenugreek seeds were treated with 12 different concentrations of sodium azide, viz. 0.3 mM, 0.6 mM, 1 mM, 2 mM, 3 mM,
4 mM, 5 mM, 6 mM, 7 mM, 8 mM, 9 mM and 10 mM for three different durations, viz. 3 h, 6 h and 9 h. Results showed that a dose-dependent decreasing tendency was observed in germination percentage, survival percentage, root length and shoot length with increasing concentration and duration of sodium azide treatment. Almost all the mutagenic treatments resulted in decrease in germination percentage, survival percentage and seedling height (root and shoot length) with increasing concentrations and duration of mutagen in laboratory conditions. Also, the LD50 value was observed as an 8 mM sodium azide concentration for 6 h in fenugreek. The mutagen treatments given at 9 h duration were detrimental for fenugreek. They cannot be used for mutation induction as they are utterly lethal after a 3 mM sodium azide concentration. So, lower treatments of mutagens have influenced less biological damage and would be suitable for inducing desirable mutations.

Published: April 2024

The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) considered as most destructive pest, poses a significant threat to various crop species globally has developed resistance due to the indiscriminate use of synthetic chemicals. A study was carried out in 2018 at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to determine insecticide resistance, in five Asia II 1 populations of B. tabaci from different cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growing regions of north India. The susceptibility of the populations to different insecticide classes, viz. synthetic pyrethroid (cypermethrin); neonicotinoids (imidacloprid and thiamethoxam); thiourea (diafenthiuron) and diamide (cyantraniliprole) were assessed. Results revealed substantial heterogeneity in the responses of these populations to the insecticides. Sriganganagar and Bathinda populations exhibited moderate resistance to cypermethrin, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam. Low level of resistance was observed in Bathinda and Sriganganagar populations against diafenthiuron. All populations were highly susceptible to cyantraniliprole. No cross-resistance was observed between cyantraniliprole and other insecticides, suggesting its potential as an alternative for managing insecticide resistance. High levels of detoxification enzymes (esterase, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, and glutathione-S-transferase) in Sriganganagar and Bathinda populations indicated a positive correlation between insecticide resistance and detoxifying enzymes. These findings offer valuable insight for implementing insecticide rotation strategies to combat B. tabaci resistance in India.
EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF TEACHER SOCIAL IDENTITY ON MOTIVATIONAL ENHANCEMENT
Authors:   Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Gvelesiani Tamari
Published: April 2024

In the field of psychology, motivation is viewed as the process through which individuals prioritize incoming messages based on their needs and subsequently engage in behaviour accordingly. When exploring factors contributing to teachers' motivation, it becomes crucial to emphasize the role of teachers' social identity. Teachers with elevated social identity and group belonging levels often integrate didactic and innovative methods in their teaching practices, driven by their confidence in their abilities. These methods not only foster students' independence and autonomy but also enhance the learning environment. As part of the study, 405 teachers from both private and public schools in five diverse cities across Georgia took part in the quantitative survey. The convenience sampling method was employed throughout the research process; therefore, the results cannot be generalized to the population of teachers in Georgia. The study reveals that teachers perceive themselves and their colleagues similarly, indicating a strong collective identity within the teaching community, regardless of individual differences. Demographic factors such as teacher status, income, city, and education do not significantly affect this sense of belonging. Identified regulation emerges as the primary form of motivation among teachers, reflecting their perception of the importance of their profession. Moreover, there is a positive correlation between social identity and teacher motivation, suggesting that a stronger sense of belonging corresponds to higher motivation levels.

Authors: Mwami Boniface , Muasya Reuben , Nguluu Simon , Kinama Josiah , Muli Benjamin , Luvanda Albert , Theuri Alice , Wambua John
Published: April 2024

Background: Sorghum is an important source of fodder in the semi-arid areas of Kenya. However, its biomass yield has remained low due to the low soil moisture content which is associated with low rainfall.  Objective: To evaluate the synergistic effects of combining rainwater harvesting practices on biomass yield and the morphometric traits of sorghum in semi-arid Kitui County. Methodology: The study was conducted in a randomized complete block design under rainfed conditions between March and August 2021 at the Research Farm of South Eastern Kenya University. It had twelve treatments, including three farming systems (conventional flat planting, ridge and furrow, and zai pits) with three soil mulching types (transparent plastic film mulch, black plastic film mulch, and grass mulch). The farming systems without mulching were used as control treatments. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means were separated using Fisher’s protected Least Significant Difference test at 0.05 %. Results: The zai pits with black plastic film mulch and flat planting with grass mulch had the highest and lowest moisture content of 68.65% and 52.5% respectively compared to flat planting. The highest biomass yield was observed in ridge-furrow with black plastic film mulch (3283.33kg ha-1) and ridge–furrow with transparent plastic film mulch (3266.03) and was not significantly different. The lowest biomass yield was recorded in conventional flat planting and zai pits and was not significantly different. In all treatments, there was a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) in morphometric traits. Implications: The farming system and the type of soil mulching determined the increase of soil moisture content, biomass yield, and morphometric traits. Conclusion: Combining ridge-furrow and black plastic mulch is recommended to improve the biomass yield of sorghum in semi-arid Kitui County, and other areas with similar agroecological conditions.

Objective: Rare study of the non-coding and regulatory regions of the genome limits our ability to decode the mechanisms of fatty liver hemorrhage syndrome (FLHS) in chickens.Methods: Herein, we constructed the high-fat diet-induced FLHS chicken model to investigate the genome-wide active enhancers and transcriptome by H3K27ac target chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) profiles of normal and FLHS liver tissues. Concurrently, an integrative analysis combining ChIP-seq with RNA-Seq and a comparative analysis with chicken FLHS, rat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and human NAFLD at the transcriptome level revealed the enhancer and super enhancer target genes and conservative genes involved in metabolic processes.Results: In total, 56 and 199 peak-genes were identified in upregulated peak-genes positively regulated by H3K27ac (Cor (peak-gene correlation) ≥0.5 and log2(FoldChange) ≥1) (PP) and downregulated peak-genes positively regulated by H3K27ac (Cor (peak-gene correlation) ≥0.5 and log2(FoldChange)≤–1) (PN), respectively; then we screened key regulatory targets mainly distributing in lipid metabolism (PCK1, APOA4, APOA1, INHBE) and apoptosis (KIT, NTRK2) together with MAPK and PPAR signaling pathway in FLHS. Intriguingly, PCK1 was also significantly covered in up-regulated super-enhancers (SEs), which further implied the vital role of PCK1 during the development of FLHS.Conclusion: Together, our studies have identified potential therapeutic biomarkers of PCK1 and elucidated novel insights into the pathogenesis of FLHS, especially for the epigenetic perspective.

On the Questions of Spin and Spin Quantum Correlations in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Quantum Information
Authors: Bagchi Shrobona
Published: April 2024

The majority of current understanding of the quantum correlations is in the field of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. To develop quantum information and computation tasks fully, one must inevitably take into account the relativistic effects. In this regard, the spin is one of the central tools. For this purpose, it is of paramount importance to understand and characterize fully the theory of spin in relativistic quantum information theory where the spin states act as qubit. This area is still far from being resolved. As a result, this article will explore the recent studies of the concepts of the spin and spin quantum correlations in inertial frames and some apparent paradoxes regarding this concept. We will mainly focus on the problem of characterizing the spin, reduced spin density matrices and spin quantum correlations in inertial reference frames and the apparent paradoxes involved therein. Another important aspect is the use of tools of quantum field theory to extend several concepts in non-relativistic domain to relativistic one. In this regard, we analyze the development of the theory of relativistic secret sharing and a correlation measure namely the entanglement of purification.
FORMAL AND SOCIAL DEMOGRAPHY: CURRENT LINKS IN TANZANIA
Authors: S. Awinia Christopher
Published: April 2024

This chapter sheds light on recent population trends in Tanzania. It explores the contribution of fertility, mortality, and migration to population growth. It uses social demography as an analytical framework to identify social, cultural, economic, and behavioral drivers of population trends. It highlights the importance of location most notably in rural areas where fertility rates are high and literacy is low. Rural-urban migration is also influential in driving recent urbanization. Because the majority of urban migrants are poor, low-skilled, and unemployed, this fuels high rates of poverty among urban youth. Their low human capital also restricts full participation in the productive economy, preventing the harnessing of a large dividend from recent demographic changes.
Perspective Chapter: Ubuntu Model of Health Care – Re-Envisioning Nursing Practice in the Digital Era
Authors: Mulaudzi Fhumulani , Gundo Rodwell
Published: April 2024

Ubuntu is an African philosophy that emphasizes the importance of care, concern, and interconnectedness between people. During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, nurse practitioners and nurse educators were forced to rely on digital technology, but many faced challenges due to a lack of resources and skills. To adapt to global changes, nurses need to embrace digital transformation and be involved in the design and implementation of digital technology. Unfortunately, nurses’ voices are often unheard in this process. The Ubuntu philosophy can offer valuable insights, reflecting the African continent’s ethos and social wisdom, to promote digital inclusion. In this chapter, we will delve into the significance of an African voice in digital governance through the lens of the Ubuntu community model of nursing.
Comparative Exergy Analysis of Thermal Power Plant Systems
Authors: Ravindra Kumar Pasupuleti , Ravi Kumar Naradasu
Published: April 2024

The concept of exergy, derived from the second law of thermodynamics, becomes a valuable source tool in analyzing thermal systems’ performance. Several terms encountered in the literature are synonymous or closely related to exergy, which are available energy, essergy, utilizable energy, and availability. The thermal efficiency of the power plants can be increased by adopting supercritical and ultra-supercritical conditions. Pressures exceeding 221.2 bar and steam temperatures exceeding 374.5°C are being used for supercritical thermal power plants, whereas the corresponding values for ultra-supercritical conditions are greater than or equal to 250 bar and 600°C. So, there is ample scope to enhance the steam conditions and optimize power plant configurations further to improve the plant efficiency. The power plant cycle is simulated by using Cycle Tempo version 5.0 software. It is used for advanced thermal energy system optimization. In the present work, for the thermodynamic analysis of supercritical—660 MW, and ultra-supercritical—800 MW power plant, cycle capacities are carried out and compared with subcritical power plant capacity of 500 MW. The important conclusions drawn from the current research work are the improvement in feed water temperature, optimum steam extraction pressures, and comparison of exergy efficiency of various thermal systems.

The COVID-19 pandemic also significantly affected civic activities and third sector actors. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) had to quickly adapt to the consequences of the pandemic and strengthen their resilience in times of increased uncertainty. Despite the significant limitation of the possibilities to carry out their own activities and implement ongoing projects, the actors of the third sector were able to re-focus their innovative action and utilize emerging opportunities to open new activities and programs to support both institutions’ resilience toward crisis and support their own communities through tailor-made social innovation. The aim of the chapter is to conceptualize strategies of NGOs in Slovakia aimed at strengthening the resilience toward negative impacts of the pandemic on both managements of NGOs and well-being and health of the own communities. Using data on the activities of 106 community-led NGOs in Slovakia, we will demonstrate the ability of third sector actors to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
