To Praise and/or to Reprimand? A Case Study of the Host School's Migrant Inclusion Strategies
Authors: Janiak Agnieszka
Published: October 2023

This paper investigates the question of how schools cope with the cultural change in the form of the increasingly common migration experience of a student and which of the strategies used determine the educational success of a migrant student. The focus is on school intercultural practices. The paper presents the result of qualitative research conducted in 2013-2019, which aimed to show the perspective of a Polish middle school student and her parent who, emigrating to the USA and re-emigrating to Poland, gained a comparative scale of inclusion practices applied in relation to a migrant student as well as awareness of the strategies which contributed to her mastery of the second language and a lasting attitude of favorableness towards the language and its culture. In order to include the sociolinguistic context, which is of particular significance for the problem investigated, the case study was expanded by an observation and partially structured interviews. The case report cited emphasizes the impact of specific inclusion practices which are worth attention (and possibly dissemination) as those that evoke positive emotions in the student, reduce the level of anxiety and stress, and focus on boosting the student’s self-confidence - as a result, they support educational success in achieving (acquired) bilingualism - and a lasting attitude towards the second language and the culture to which it gives access.

Published: October 2023

El bienestar laboral en una organización se ha vuelto un tema de gran importancia ya que contribuye a la satisfacción y motivación de los trabajadores, lo que a su vez se traduce en una mayor productividad y rentabilidad para la empresa o institución, siendo lo contrario, afecta el desempeño general de la organización. El objetivo de este estudio consiste en identificar el nivel de bienestar y la calidad de vida del personal administrativo y docentes de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca, Campus La Troncal, para promover el mejoramiento del ambiente laboral. Esta investigación adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo con alcance descriptivo y de tipo no experimental y se recopilo información mediante la aplicación de encuestas a los 64 funcionarios de este Campus Universitario. Entre los resultados más relevantes se pudo evidenciar que un bajo porcentaje de la muestra se encuentra desmotivado debido a la sobrecarga de trabajo e insatisfecho con el clima laboral, aludiendo a que los eventos de convivencia no cumplen sus objetivos. Estos hallazgos no indican que la institución presente un gran problema; puesto que, estas dificultades se pueden disminuir o eliminar con la implementación de nuevas actividades y medidas pensadas en el bienestar de los funcionarios.

Published: October 2023

O uso crescente das tecnologias da informação e da comunicação (TICs) por crianças e adolescentes tem suscitado preocupações sobre seus impactos na constituição psíquica do sujeito e no papel da parentalidade. Este estudo teórico, fundamentado na abordagem winnicottiana, discute as implicações das TICs no desenvolvimento infantil, destacando os conceitos de mãe suficientemente boa, handling, holding, fases de amadurecimento, espaço potencial e objeto transicional. O estudo conclui que as TICs podem ter um impacto positivo ou negativo no desenvolvimento infantil, dependendo da forma como são utilizadas. Um ambiente facilitador, que estabelece limites e oferece espaço para a criatividade, é fundamental para que as TICs sejam usadas de forma benéfica.

Authors: VANUSYA VANUSYA , RAJINI R ASHA , KIRUBAHARAN J JOHN
Published: October 2023

The study was undertaken to assess the relative efficacy of 3 vaccination regimens in turkey poults in a tropical country, using 3 different lentogenic ND vaccines. At 2 weeks of age, 24 poults from each group received primary vaccination with either F or LaSota or D 58 via eye/nasal drops. Humoral immune response was assessed by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. In all unvaccinated control groups, antibody titre waned by third week of age. All the 3 lentogenic vaccines elicited significant primary humoral immune response. Peak titre was observed at second week of post vaccination in D58 group and by third week post vaccination in RDVF and LaSota groups. All groups that had received LaSota booster vaccine showed significant anamnestic humoral immune response. It was observed that due to early induction in immune response in poults, D58 could be used as potential primary vaccine.

Education and Community Development in Contemporary Ogoni Society
Authors: Baala Gawuga Thompson , Barima-Kpurunee Faith
Published: October 2023

There is a missing link between education and community development. This becomes glaring when considering the educational awareness vis-a-vis the level of development in Ogoni communities today. Education should come with the know-how and consequently the ease with which communities evolve, notwithstanding, there continues to be a downward slope in community development in the face of growing educational awareness. This study uses the functionalist theory of development to evaluate how subsets within communities can functionally impress on the quality of development in their locales. The study argues that development is more organized where the people are involved concluding that by education, most people have a copious understanding of the kind of community development fashionable today but do not know how to engage their kits and kin to buy-in. It recommends the kind of education which sharpens skills and abilities of the people to identify challenges and solve them as subsets in their communities.

Nri People and the Challenges of Preserving the Igbo Custom and Tradition: the case of Establishing an Igbo Traditional Centre
Authors: Chukwudi Ezenwa , Obiadi Bons N. , Onuorah I.M. , Kikanme E.I. , Mbah P.U. , Okafor C.C.
Published: October 2023

The lifestyle in Nigeria is shaped by distinctive ethnic groups and their culture. Most times, people come together in centres, public spaces to experience their culture, lifestyles and exhibitions. These centres are in most cases, called cultural centres. Over the years, they have played tremendous role in societies by promoting the arts, history, religion, and heritage of different cultures and the way of life of a particular group of people or community. At Nri, a town in Anocha local government area in Anambra State, the people still maintains the culture and tradition of the Igbo people yet, with no physical structure that supports such. Nri is widely asserted to be the motherland and cradle of the Igbo ethnicity. The leader of Nri, is the priest-king in its truest definition, more of a ritualistic father figure with mystic powers, but no military authority. With the disappearing tradition of the Igbos’ culture, and Nri particularly, the history of the people have been given very little attention as a result, a variable and sustainable eco-cultural tourism, through the use of museums, historical sites and cultural festivals, is needed for a logical prosecution of the war against the eradication of Igbo custom and Tradition.
The Significance of the Priest in the Healing of the Ten Lepers: A Contextual Interpretation of Luke 17:12-14
Authors: Okoh Blessing Uenosen , Ejenobo David Tejere
Published: October 2023

The significant place of Priest in the development of human society in the biblical era highlights the fact that it is an important issue in our modern church today. If the office of Priest had a place in the Bible, does it still have a in the contemporary religious institutions? How relevant is the office of Priest today? These and other relevant questions regarding the significance of the office of the Priest are what this paper tried to investigate. To achieve this objective, the study examined the role of the Priest in the story of the healing of Ten Lepers in Luke 17:12 – 14. The study adopted the historical-critical and hermeneutical methods in contextualizing the story of the healing of the Ten Lepers. The study discovered that it was the responsibility of the Priest to make the final pronouncement as to the cleansing of any Leper in Israel. In other words, the Priest played an active role in the cleansing of Leper in Luke 17 in the sense that even though they had been healed by Jesus, the pronouncement of the healing had to be made by the Priest. The study thus concludes that if attention is given to the significance of the Priest in modern day Christianity, it will enhance the ministry of the church as she seeks to fulfil her mission to the world as God intended and also serves as agents of socialization to better the society. The paper therefore recommended that biblical teachings on the significance of Priest in healing ministry of the church should be emphasized. The contemporary churches should be made to understand that the Priests function as mediator of equilibrium between holy and profane in human society.
August Meeting and Its Change Mantra: An Appraisal of the Quest for Economic Independence for Rural Women in the Igbo Ethnic Group of Nigeria
Authors: Scent Grace A.T. , Chukwu Christian Chima
Published: October 2023

The impact of discrimination, subjugation and marginalization has negatively affected the psyche of women, particularly those in the rural areas of south east Nigeria. But with the emergence of August meeting, a new change has occurred. On the basis of this, this study interrogated the essence of August meeting and its change mantra, especially its economic self reliance strategy for ameliorating the deplorable living conditions of rural women in the Igbo ethnic group of southeast Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive and survey research designs and data collection through structured questionnaires; focus group discussions and in- depth-interviews. Among the findings, the study revealed that August meeting is nowadays more than ever very committed to changing the ugly narrative of Igbo women through the building of basic socio-economic infrastructure in rural areas. Through the activities of August meeting and its change mantra, the economic self reliance of women has improved the deplorable living conditions of rural women thereby changing the widespread poverty amongst women. Thirdly, the study also showed that August Meeting has become a force to be reckoned with, particularly in the dismantling of all discriminatory and oppressive practices against women. Finally, the study concluded that all the initiatives to improve women socio- economically were in line with the promotion of higher rural productivity and the good welfare of the rural population. Based on these, the paper recommended that August meeting should be holistic in its engagement to promptly address the widespread poverty associated with women, particularly in rural areas. Secondly, August meeting should condemn any deviant behavior that is inconsistent with the change mantra. All concerted efforts should be guided to ensure peace and love reign in their different communities.
A Comparative Study of Radio and Television Stations in Rivers State Coverage of Gender Related Issues
Authors: Ikems Konye Cynthia , Nwoziri Hillary Obinna
Published: October 2023

The global call for gender equality requires the contribution from everybody, especially broadcasters, because it is their responsibility. The study examines the extent of broadcast media sensitivity to gender issues with particular emphasis on number of programmes, type, frequency and direction of programmes, and the challenges of broadcasting gender-based issues. The study was underpinned on the gate-keeping theory. Survey research design was employed, and NTA, AIT, Treasure FM (Radio Nigeria) and Nigeria Info FM – were purposively selected based on their ownership. Findings reveal that broadcasting in Nigeria is not sensitive enough to gender- based issues seeing that the number of gender-related programmes broadcast in all four stations of study was relatively small compared to the overall number of programmes broadcast. The major challenge encountered in the broadcast of gender-based issues in the stations include a dearth of funds for the production and sponsorship of such programmes and the cultural inclination of Africans in general. The study strongly recommends the enactment of gender specific laws mandating broadcast media to be sensitive in their programming.

Pemberdayaan Jemaat dalam Menghadapi Dampak Modernisasi dan Globalisasi
Authors: Pasaribu Nehemia
Published: October 2023

Gereja dalam keragamannya yang kaya memiliki peran unik sebagai komunitas yang benar-benar global. Orang Kristen perlu berjejaring dan bekerja sama untuk menghadapi tantangan globalisasi. Gereja membutuhkan suara global yang bersatu untuk menanggapi kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh globalisasi baik terhadap manusia maupun lingkungan. Tidak ada ruang untuk ketidakpedulian terhadap cara dunia dijalankan. Orang Kristen harus terlibat dalam debat terkini tentang globalisasi adalah mengenali peluang dan tantangannya. Globalisasi menawarkan peluang yang luar biasa yaitu kemudahan komunikasi, transportasi dan perjalanan dapat digunakan untuk berbuat banyak kebaikan dalam memberdayakan masyarakat miskin dan kurang mampu. Sementara orang-orang Kristen berperang melawan modernitas dalam masalah moral, kita sering menganggap netral masalah lain yang berasal dari modernitas seperti individualisme, materialisme, dan konsumerisme. Meskipun globalisasi berkontribusi pada penciptaan masyarakat yang lebih terbuka dan telah membawa manfaat ekonomi bagi banyak orang, itu sering berarti pengucilan besar-besaran orang miskin. Sebagai orang Kristen, kita dipanggil untuk pemuridan integral, yang melibatkan penggunaan sumber daya ciptaan Tuhan secara bertanggung jawab dan berkelanjutan. Kita dipanggil untuk mengubah dimensi moral, intelektual, ekonomi, budaya dan politik kehidupan kita. Tugas gereja yang paling kritis di generasi kita adalah menawarkan alternatif yang menarik bagi ketidakseimbangan yang tidak adil dalam tatanan ekonomi dunia dan nilai-nilai budaya konsumennya.

Cheiloscopy is an application of lip phenotypes (sub-clinical cleft phenotype/lip whorls) to establish the identity of an individual. Any kind of change in lips can be caused by facial expression/ facial movement and allow an accurate clinical assessment. All along an orthodontic estimation of lip protrusion, lip competence and lip lines are examined by visual inspection and are recorded in the medical notes. It has been shown in molecular studies that initiation and growth of facial primordia are restrained by an interaction between fibroblast growth factors, sonic hedgehog, bone morphogenetic proteins, homeobox genes Barx1 and Msx1, the distal-less homeobox (Dlx) genes, and local retinoic acid gradients. While mesoderm proliferation during facial development may cause inadequate growth of the maxillary, medial and lateral nasal processes. This review study is mainly focused on the determination of the responsible genetic markers for the deformation of lip prints. This summarized study can be helpful in the identification of an individual especially wherever lip prints are recovered from the scene of the crime.

Investigation of Identity and Ontology at Salango, Ecuador (BCE 100-300 CE)
Authors: Juengst Sara L. , Lunniss Richard , Cruz Y. Zindy , Cobb Emilie M. , Bythell Abigail
Published: October 2023

Bioarchaeologists have increasingly investigated social identities of past peoples, engaging with theory from a variety of sources, including Indigenous perspectives. In this article, we discuss and compare successive Very Early Guangala (100 BCE–CE 1) and succeeding Early Guangala (CE 1–300) phase burials located near the north perimeter of Salango, a shoreline site and ritual sanctuary serving multiple communities of the central coast of Ecuador. Very Early Guangala burials in low mounds included many infants, accompanied by stone figurines and marine shells, who demonstrated skeletal lesions of pronounced and chronic stress. Early Guangala burials were located in the same area but without funerary architecture. These later burials were predominantly adult at the time of death, endowed with a different set of goods, and displayed distinct frequencies of pathological conditions (possibly related to demographic differences). Isotopic evidence of diet and migration show that throughout both periods, connection to the ocean through foodways was common, despite the possibility of some individuals migrating to or from the area. Drawing on theory about relational identities and community, we interpret these paleopathological, mortuary, and isotopic trends to demonstrate that in particular contexts, humans and objects were seen as interchangeable and that a lifelong connection to the ocean was at the core of community at Salango.
A modeling approach to introduce haptic feedback in multimodal awareness for groupware systems
Authors: Rodríguez Andrés , Bibbo Luis Mariano , Collazos Cesar , Fernandez Alejandro
Published: October 2023

The key to effective collaboration is awareness; traditional groupware systems have relied on visual cues to achieve it. Audio has been used to complement and overcome the limitations of graphical displays to maintain awareness. However, the emergence of alternative user interface strategies, such as haptic feedback, presents new opportunities to promote awareness. Yet, designing effective haptic awareness mechanisms is challenging due to the lack of documented experience. Therefore, we suggest using flexible prototyping and evaluation tools to facilitate an exploratory design process. We also propose that the design of awareness features should consider modalities to be used and the relationships between them from the outset. To support this idea, we introduce a modeling language and supporting tools to express haptic awareness features. We show how the language can be used in the context of model-driven development of groupware.

Esta investigação tem como campo de pesquisa uma escola estadual da rede de ensino do Ceará. Analisam-se as particularidades de uma nova estratégia voltada aos jogos interclasses, campeonato anual realizado e que envolve os estudantes de uma Escola Estadual de Educação Profissional. Em virtude das limitações impostas pela pandemia da Covid-19, propõe-se, nesta investigação, realizar uma análise microetnográfica de uma nova modalidade de jogos interclasses: o Interclasse de Jogos Digitais, feito inovador, até então, nunca executado na rede pública estadual de ensino. Tal estratégia foi pensada para apoiar, diretamente, a disciplina de Educação Física e suas práticas, diante da impossibilidade de realização das competições em jogos tradicionais. A condução da investigação foi baseada na seguinte questão norteadora: Como o Interclasse de Jogos Digitais potencializou e tornou viável a prática da Educação Física, diante das céleres mudanças provocadas pela pandemia, na seara da educação? A partir da necessidade de adaptação, tornou-se indispensável criar verdadeiras trincheiras de abrigos ao público discente, atraindo-o e inserindo-o no âmbito escolar, inicialmente, de forma remota e, posteriormente, com a retomada das aulas presenciais, não perdendo o pensamento voltado aos jogos on-line, às linguagens de programação, desenvolvimento de códigos e suas tecnologias. Este estudo aponta para o alvorecer de novas práticas educacionais que deixarão um importante legado, não para uma área específica do conhecimento, mas um alicerce sólido para uma verdadeira prática interdisciplinar.

It is well established that lichens from polar regions of the Earth are capable to perform photosynthesis at sub-zero temperatures. Majority of them show a high degree of cryoresistance, however, species-specific differences exist. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate behaviour of primary photochemical processes of photosynthesis in Antarctic endemic species Himantormia lugubris at sub-zero temperature. For the purpose, the method of constant rate (2°C min-1) cooling (from +20 to -40°C) with simultaneous measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters related to photosystem II (PSII) was used. During the cooling, potential yield of photosynthetic processes in PSII (FV/FM), and effective quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII) were measured in 30 s interval. From the FV/FM and ΦPSII data sets, S-curves reflecting temperature dependence of the two chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were constructed and analyzed. The S-curves were found tri-phasic in response to sample temperature decline: (1) slight or no decline phase, (2) rapid decline phase, followed by (3) slow change reaching critical temperature at which the primary photosynthetic processes were fully inhibited. Critical temperature was found -30 and -20°C for FV/FM, and ΦPSII, respectively. The latter critical temperature was accompanied by an increase in background chlorophyll fluorescence (F0) indicating inhibition of energy transfer from light-harvesting complexes to core of PSII. A newly-designed chlorophyll fluorescence parameter (a differential, i.e. the difference between the maximum value-normalized FV/FM, and ΦPSII) was used in order to evaluate the temperature at which the processes related to photosynthetic electron flow through thylakoid membrane carriers (ΦPSII) and the energy flow through PSII (FV/FM) differed to a largest extent. This parameters proved to be temperature-dependent and useful in the evaluation of cryoresistance.  Based on our study, H. lugubris, its primary photosynthetic processes in particular, might be considered as higly resistant to sub-zero temperature.
Changes in immunological characteristics of summer crew during a short term expedition to Antarctica

Published: October 2023

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of extreme climatic conditions and isolation on levels of pre-selected immunological parameters in humans. This article describes changes in immunological parameters measured in members of the 9th Czech Antarctic Scientific Expedition during their field work in Antarctica in summer time. The total of 15 sera samples were collected in the morning shortly before the expedition, the second collection was proved in the middle and the third in the end of stay at the Czech Polar station (Mendel station). The statistically significant difference appeared in eight of 11 parameters, from which the value of C3, C4, IgA, and number of monocytes decreased; level of IgG and number of non segmented neutrophils increased. The difference was showed also in the middle of stay, when the level of IgM, number of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the first part of stay decreased, in the second increased. The way of life in the station, physical performance and extreme climatic condition, probably positively affected the results of some studied immunological parameters.
Comparative anatomical and physiological characteristics of Ranunculus glacialis and estimation of its adaptive potential in natural habitats and the PABGI nursery (Murmansk region)

Published: October 2023

Ranunculus glacialis (L.) A. Löve & D. Löve is a rare species that is included in the Red Data Book of the Murmansk region. It belongs to a group of northern species that, under climate change conditions, will be exposed to a reduction of range and loss of genetic diversity. The objective of this study was to estimate the adaptive potential of this species in the Khibiny Mountains, which is the edge of the eastern limit of its range. Plants growing in natural conditions of the Khibiny Mountains and in the nurseries of the  Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute (PABGI) were compared in terms of leaf mesostructure and pigment content. Under nursery conditions, at higher temperature than in the field, R. glacialis plants showed quantitative rearrangement of leaf mesostructure. Changes associated with increases in internal leaf volume and disturbance of ontogeny, changes in morphometric indicators of assimilating organs (mass and leaf area), reduced productivity and, consequently, reduced resistance to growing conditions were also found in the PABGI-cultivated plants. In this study, we show that this species has a low level of genetic diversity and a limited adaptive potential in the extreme eastern edge of its range in Russia (Kola Peninsula), as evidenced by numerous experiments on acclimatization of R. glacialis under nursery conditions in the Khibiny Mountains.
A Non-Contact Object Delivery System Using Leader-Follower Formation Control for Multi-Robots

Rapid improvements in the area of multi-robot control algorithms pave the way to design and implement robotic swarms to deal with sophisticated tasks including intelligent object transportation systems. It is crucial to manage the structure of the numerous robots to behave like a whole body for task accomplishment. The leader-follower formation control approach offers a simple and reliable way of keeping the swarm formation in appropriate limits to cope with challenging tasks. Autonomous object transportation with multi-robot systems enjoy the benefits of the leader-follower formation control approach. However, most of the developed transportation systems achieve the task by locating the load onto the robots or by pushing the load in the means of a physical contact. These approaches may lead to a hardware or payload damage due to heavy loads or physical contacts respectively. In this study, a novel non-contact object delivery system is introduced for eliminating the drawbacks of physical contact between the robots and the payload. Permanent magnets are used for propulsion of the payload located on a cart with passive casters. The stability of the proposed multi-robot system is satisfied by a formation controller using potential functions method augmented with a cornering action sub-controller. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed system during a straight motion and cornering with the root mean square values of the distance between the robots as 1.46 × 10-4 [m] and 0.065 [m] respectively.
