Authors: Escriva-Boulley Géraldine , Boiché Julie
Published: December 2020

Purpose: The present study aimed to explore the associations between parents’ physical 4 activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SED) and their explicit and implicit attitudes toward 5 these behaviors and their children’s PA and SED, and attitudes. Children’s age and parents’ 6 gender were taken into account. 7 Method: One hundred and seven dyads composed of one parent (Mage = 42.9 years) and 8 her/his child (Mage = 11.6 years) completed questionnaires assessing behaviors and explicit 9 attitudes toward PA and SED. Implicit attitudes were evaluated with an implicit association 10 test. 11 Results: Parents’ PA was positively correlated with their children’s PA, especially in children 12 (≤12 years). No significant association was noted for SED. The results showed a positive 13 correlation between mothers’ explicit attitudes and fathers’ implicit attitudes and, 14 respectively, their children’s explicit (regardless to their age) and implicit attitudes (> 12 15 years). 16 Conclusion(s): This study is the first to investigate the association between parents’ and their 17 children’ implicit and explicit attitudes toward PA and SED. The results indicate that focusing 18 on the increase of PA and the development of positive attitudes toward PA in both children 19 and parents could be an interesting mean to promote PA in interventions aiming to improve 20 families’ health.

Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic has become a cause of global concern because of its fast rate of transmission and high mortality rates in patients with comorbid illness. In absence of any vaccine or approved chemoprophylaxis, this threat will keep on increasing till effective solution is found. The ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, has released guidelines for use of certain herbs as an immunity booster in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection. Since the onset of the pandemic, several patients are approaching the practitioners for alternative medicine advices that will enhance overall health and keep diseases at bay. Although the herbs, which are used as immunomodulators to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, have long history of use but there is paucity of well documented and published data about its tolerability, safety and efficacy. Aims and Objectives: To study the outcomes of Ayurveda herbs treatment in individuals residing in coronavirus hotspot city. Materials and Methods: Individuals, who have approached our Ayurveda clinic, have received Ayurveda formulation containing Glycyrrhiza glabra, Zingiber officinale, Adhatoda vasica, Piper Longum, Piper Nigra, Acorus calamus and Sacrum offcinarum. These herbs have been consumed orally for about two months. Result: The herbs are well tolerated by all and none of the individual have developed any symptoms of influenza like illness or tested positive for COVID-19. These observations indicate that immunomodulator herbs mentioned in Ayurveda are well tolerable and safe. Conclusion: This formulation can be considered as preliminary evidence for the tolerability, safety and can be used as a prophylactic herbs, mentioned in Ayurveda. In view of the scarce information available for this newly appeared pandemic, such results can serve as a primary basis for carrying out further studies. Further investigations and clinical studies using the Ayurveda herbal medicine, described in this work, may help in reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection by boosting our immunity.

In Ayurveda, the diseases Kushtha represents all type of Skin disorders. Shwitra is considered as one of the variety of Kushta. On the basis of sign and symptoms Shwitra shows simmilarities with Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a progressive in nature and characterized by hypopigmented white patches. The signs and symptoms of Shwitra are; non exudative white, whitish red or coppery-red coloured patches on the skin, loss and discoloration of the hair, roughness and dryness of the skin. All the acharyas of Ayurveda has mentioned different types of shwitra. The Nidanas of shwitra are similar to kushtha but still various other Nidanas are also found in classics which are particular to shwitra. Samprapti of shwitra has been described separately only by Harita samhita. He said that due to vitiated Vata and Pitta dosha, Rakta dhatus Nirmmiti get disturbed and produces the ‘Shwet varniya’ patches. Considering the prognosis, shwitra is difficult to cure due to its chronic and relapsing nature. Acharya charaka mentioned Shwitra as a Raktapradoshaja vikara. In Charak samhita the treatment modulation for Raktapradoshaja Vyadhis are as Langhana, Virechana, Raktamokshana etc. Hence, all these procedures are applicable to Shwitra also. So, the present study deals with a systemic review of shwitra from all the classics of Ayurveda and importance of Langhana, Virechana and Raktamokshana in Shwitra.

Published: December 2020

The objectives of this article are to seek the opportunity to enhance the local Indonesia timber material physical performances (encompassing the low-class quality of III and IV timbers with the Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) = 5,000 - 9,000 MPa) utilizing laminated composite technology to become higher-class timber quality (class II) with the Modulus of Elasticity (MOE)> 15,000 MPa so that it can be used as an alternative material for constructing the bridge mainframe structures (girder beams) especially for the Indragiri Hilir regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. This regency needs several hundred small-medium bridges for connecting 20 districts, 39 wards, and 197 villages using local materials such as local timbers. This laminating technology is not a new technology but the utilization of this technology for constructing the main bridges structures is challenging and limited to the implementation in the civil construction industrial sector. This study composed 2 types of the low-class quality (lcq) of timber materials (such as Shorea sp and Shorea peltata Sym) and 2 types of medium class-quality (mcq) ones (Dipterocarpus and Calophyllum) for constructing the main bridge structures. Based on the laboratory test results utilizing 80% of lcq materials and 20% mcq ones, these composite timber materials may increase the timbers MOE by 145% to 166% from the existing MOE value of the mcq solid timbers. Based on the simulations these laminated composites wooden bridge girders 2 x (70x20) m2, these timber materials have passed all the tests and the application of this technology may improve the lcq timber values and it could be used for an alternative material of the bridge girder's main structures.
Assessment of Long and Short Run Relationship Amongst Macroeconomic Variables and Economic Growth of Nepal
Authors: Pokhrel Shikha , Khadka Chakra Bahadur
Published: December 2020

This paper examines the long and short run relationship among selected macroeconomic variables and economic growth of Nepal. The objective of the research is to examine empirically the long and short run relationship among macroeconomic variables; gross fixed capital formation, human capital, government expenditure, foreign aid, and trade openness on economic growth of Nepal. The study period spanned from 1975 to 2016. The data has the annual frequency. The time series properties of the data were, first, analyzed using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and then Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration is employed to assess the direction of impact and long-run relationships between the variables. Besides these, other diagnostic tests are also conducted. The ARDL bound test analysis depicts the presence of cointegration relationship between real GDP and employed macroeconomic determinants. The negative and significant error correction coefficient further provides substantial evidence that there is long-run association among real gross domestic product and selected macroeconomic variables. The ARDL model shows that Gross fixed capital formation and government expenditure have a significant positive relationship on economic growth in the long run while trade openness has a significant negative relationship on economic growth in the long run. Thus, the findings suggest that GFCF and GE are the major macro determinants to robust the economic growth of Nepal. In order to achieve the desired rate of economic growth it is suggested that there should be a continuous investment in gross fixed capital formation including plants, machinery, raw materials, industrial buildings and technology (research and development). It is also suggested that structural changes should be made in school institutions with the provision of providing quality education with cognitive skills and added resources through quality and skilled teachers. Nepal must have more effective trade openness, particularly by productively controlling import of consumption goods, and by introducing import substitution policies, in boosting their economic growth through international trade.
An Estimation of Technical Efficiency of Poultry Farming in Nepal
Authors: Pradhan Nripesh Bahadur , Raut Nirmal Kumar
Published: December 2020

The commercial poultry is growing rapidly in Nepal which requires that efficient level of output that ensures high levels of productivity and profit is produced. The objective of this study is to estimate the technical efficiency of the poultry farming in Nepal and its distribution spatially across the districts. The study utilizes Cobb-Douglas production function to define the structure of the production model and its error term is assumed to follow exponential distribution. Thereafter, using maximum likelihood estimator, parametric approach to Stochastic Frontier Method is applied to the data obtained from Nepal Commercial Poultry Survey 2015. The study finds technical efficiency of 92 percent suggesting high efficiency. Assuming half-normal distribution in the error term, however, yields technical efficiency of 89 percent. Further disaggregation of technical efficiency by districts shows its homogenous distribution across the districts covered in the study. The study, hence, suggests the possibility to increase its production to the level of potential output by improving technical efficiency. One of the various ways to improve technical efficiency is by ensuring high quality inputs both physical and technical to the poultry farms.
Migration trends and challenges in the Visegrad countries
Authors:   Corvinus University in Budapest, Gallai Sandor
Published: December 2020

The Visegrad region experienced the aging and the decline of its population in the past 30 years, as happened in other Eastern European countries. That development was aggravated by net emigration, the scale of which was overestimated at the time of the political regime changes and underestimated after the EU Eastern expansion. This article presents and analyses the main trends in migration to and from the Visegrad countries, and tries to prove that political considerations and public attitudes often prevented the formulation of appropriate government responses. Research on the motivations for emigration found that economic opportunities prevail as the most decisive factor in individual decisions on migration. Therefore, at the governmental level, the prospect of success to slow down or reverse the flow of net emigration depends on economic convergence between the Visegrad countries and the West.

Europe has undergone various security changes in the past and needs to prepare itself for managing the present and future security challenges appearing on the horizon. Within Central Europe, we can see a significant change in its security orientation and a gradual development by continuous involvement in security initiatives such as the current EU-led PESCO. This article aims to show the present Visegrad Group (V4) interest in maintaining an autonomous European security, as well as to analyse the current possibilities and security capabilities of Central European countries. The V4 countries are an important part of NATO and the European Union, even though they are small to medium-sized countries with limited security capabilities. Participation in the creation of collective security under NATO has a stable, several-year position in the countries, but the European Union is on the rise in its security agenda, and that is assumed by the V4 countries with its participation in EU initiatives such as PESCO and the integrated involvement of the V4 in ongoing military projects.

Published: December 2020

The European security environment has changed and the EU has become more independent in its security policy. New threats faced by the EU in 2014 (the migration crises) and other remaining threats (such as terrorism, organised crime, piracy) need solving by its greater involvement in the region. One problem that the EU tries to solve is the inconsistency of member states in security issues. In this article, we focus on the V4 group and their opinions towards EU security. This article examines strategies adopted by small/new EU member states to protect European borders and European territories and regions outside the EU that affect their security. For a long time, the V4 countries only participated sporadically in EU missions. The article shows what changes took place and what were the reasons for the decision to participate or not in the EU activities. The article raises the question of whether the show-the-flag strategy adopted by the V4 countries and their participation in EU missions is relevant for ensuring European security nowadays.

This article analyses the 2019 European Parliament (EP) election manifestos of populist parties in V4 countries as a contribution to the contemporary discussion on political populism. The aim of the study is to analyze the election campaign programs which populist parties operating in individual V4 countries presented for EP elections in 2019, using a qualitative content analysis of the official election programs of relevant populist parties and other sources of their communication. It tries to identify topics that have been framed as a problem or risk by Central European populists and how these topics have been interpreted in their programs. The so-called “immigration crisis” and the contemporary state of the European Union are seen as the most problematic topics by a majority of the populists. On the other hand, the majority of these parties do not want some Central European version of Brexit. Their rhetorical goal is rather the reform the Union.
Efectos del framing en diseños de realismo experimental. Consumo de encuadres y compromiso político en la campaña electoral mexicana de 2018
Authors: Muñiz Carlos , Echeverría Martín
Published: December 2020

International literature demonstrates the influence of news media on the political attitudes and behaviors of citizens, stemming from the coverage and framing of politics. In the context of election campaigns, this news framing effect has usually been analyzed based on experimental designs, mainly through the manipulation of strategic game and issue frames. However, the need to conduct studies with greater realism has recently been raised, to increase the external validity and generalization of the findings. This approach, called experimental realism, seeks to link media content with opinion measurements to generate consumption indicators of certain types of news frames. Taking this procedure as a reference, this paper presents results on the impact of informative content consumption, focused on either the electoral strategy or programmatic proposals, in the development of the political engagement of citizens during the 2018 Mexican presidential campaign. The findings reveal an important effect of issue frame consumption on citizen political engagement according to all the measured indicators. Resumen La bibliografía internacional ha permitido determinar la influencia de los medios de comunicación en la generación de actitudes y comportamientos políticos de los ciudadanos, a partir de su cobertura de la política y en particular del framing de las noticias durante las campañas, de tipo asunto político y juego estratégico. Aunque habitualmente estos estudios se han elaborado desde diseños experimentales clásicos, recientemente se ha planteado la necesidad de realizar estudios de mayor validez externa y capacidad de generalización, llamados de realismo experimental, que vinculan contenidos mediáticos con mediciones de opinión para generar indicadores de consumo de cierto tipo de encuadres. Tomando este procedimiento como referente, el artículo presenta los resultados sobre el impacto del consumo de contenido informativo, enfocado ya sea desde la estrategia electoral o bien en las propuestas programáticas, en el desarrollo del compromiso político de los ciudadanos durante la campaña presidencial mexicana de 2018. Los resultados muestran un importante efecto del consumo del encuadre de asunto político sobre el compromiso ciudadano en todos los indicadores medidos.

Published: December 2020

It has been researched that applied nature of teaching chemistry is implemented in the framework of non-variant and variable components of the education subject-matter and it is realized at the lessons, optional and extra-curricular lessons, through the integration of chemistry with other school subjects of a natural science cycle. It has been grounded that applied nature of chemistry subject-matter can be realized with help of various means: to include applied knowledge into the contents of educational material; to add applied information to the texts of chemical calculation tasks and to the instructions how to carry out practical work; to use chemical experiment aimed at practice; to carry out integration of chemistry with other school subjects of a natural science cycle; to implement the realization of activity approach to education. Applied knowledge is the way to increase the motivation of teaching and to better acquire chemical knowledge. Its great didactical value consists in the fact that it facilitates acquiring scientific knowledge. There are several methods how to include applied knowledge into the process of teaching chemistry, namely: to support students who study by the curriculum with some additional materials concerning the meaning of a substance, principles and phenomena which occur in nature; to add it to the lessons at which the issue of applied nature are studied; to work out role-play lessons which contain a system of problem tasks connected with practical activity of man; to include applied information into a text part of calculation chemical tasks, into the instructions how to carry out practical work; into the contents of excursions and other extra-curricular lessons. It has been proved that the implementation of applied nature of teaching chemistry is challenging particularly in extra-curricular work. One of the forms of the organization of students’ educational activity aimed at the development of the skills how to apply acquired knowledge and to realize activity approach to studying is a training expedition. Training expeditions envisage such organization of the educational process when students, applying the acquired knowledge about the practices of studying the object of nature at the lessons of chemistry, biology, geography, can carry out independently their field experiments aimed at researching the ecological condition of the components of the environment. Key words: applied nature of teaching chemistry, applied knowledge, school course of chemistry, cognitive activity, extra-curricular work, training expedition.

The article is based on the systematization of scientific and pedagogical works related to the professional training of maritime professionals in the Google Scholar Scientific Search System and the electronic catalogs of the National Library of Ukraine. Author submitted his quantitative and qualitative analysis. The dissertation researches of modern Ukrainian scientists, in particular Barsuk S.L., Voloshinov S.A., Gerganov L.D., Dobroshtan O.O., Kozak S.V., Litvinenko I.Y., Osadcha K.P., Primina N.M., Sokol I.V., Spichak T.S., Frolova O.O. are analyzed in detail. Thus, based on scientific activity, which has been documented in different time periods, there has been an increase in research on the professional training of maritime professionals and in particular ship navigators. The following aspects of studying the problem of professional training of specialists in the marine industry in the scientific and pedagogical theory have been identified: formation of foreign language competence (Barsuk S.L., Kozak S.V., Litvinenko I.Y., Primina N.M.), formation of professional competence (Gerganov L.D., Sokol I.V.), algorithmic training (Voloshinov S.A.), mathematics teaching (Spichak T.S., Dobroshtan O.O.), formation of socio-cultural competence (Frolova O.O.), training for profession-oriented communication (Smelikova V.B.). In the work it is noted that the dissertation research aspects in the formation of foreign language communicative competence of maritime specialists are based on the requirements of the international maritime industry documents, especially the professional activity in multinational environment and increasing competition in the global labor market. The study also points out that the formation of the same professional competence of navy professionals is theoretically and experimentally tested by structural models in the process of study of professional disciplines and production. It is noted that the study of mathematics by future maritime specialists should be built on the model of a methodological system for the implementation of cross-curricular links. Further searches are seen in the study of the analysis of practical experience of professional training of marine industry in Ukraine. Keywords: marine industry specialists, vocational training, pedagogical theory.

While preparing physics and mathematics specialists, and in particular physics teachers, it should be paid attention to the general principles, which in a compact form contain not only all known experimental and theoretical positions, but also allow predicting new discoveries. These principles include integral variational principles that were first formulated in mechanics. Preparing physics teachers’, the principles are studied in the theoretical physics course in its first section – “Classical mechanics”. By studying classical mechanics, unlike the general course “Mechanics”, students encounter many generalized and abstract concepts, the formation of which puts before teachers a lot of methodological problems to be solved. The following methods were used for research: systematic scientific and methodological analysis of textbooks and manuals, articles on the research problem; observation of the educational process; synthesis, comparison and generalization of theoretical positions, discovered in the scientific and educational literature; generalization of own pedagogical experience. The authors of the article summarized the results of the analysis of textbooks and their own experience, and on the basis of this, one of the possible ways to study the topic “Lagrange equation”. According to this method, the content of this topic should be disclosed through the following questions: generalized coordinates, generalized forces; generalized speeds and their units of measurement. We can state that the given method allows students to form a sufficiently deep and stable understanding of the concepts of “generalized coordinates”, “generalized forces”, “generalized velocities” and gives an idea of using the Lagrange equation for solving tasks that are difficult to solve using only Newton's laws. Further research will be related to the study of the methodological features of the study of the Lagrange equation on the basis of the integral variational principle of Hamilton-Ostrogradsky. Key words: future physics teachers, classical mechanics, generalized coordinates, generalized forces; generalized speeds, Lagrange equation.

The article reveals the relevance of professional and communicative culture formation of future preschool educators, presents and describes the dynamic model of professional and communicative culture formation of future preschool educators, outlines the provisions that were the basis for its development. Methodological approaches (systemic, synergistic, acmeological and competent) with corresponding principles, pedagogical conditions are defined according to the structural components of the model (conceptual, substantive-procedural and resultant blocks). The stages of the content-procedural block realization are outlined, forms and methods of work are presented. The content as the core category of constructing a model of professional-communicative culture formation of future preschool educators based on the G. P. Guilford approach (regarding aspects of intellectual functioning), the stage of its realization (motivational, content-transformative and interpersonal stages) and the interdependence of these stages on the basis of vitagen learning are substantiated. Modern pedagogical technologies of teaching are briefly characterized: cognitive-oriented (cognitive technological model “Criterion-oriented learning”, team training), game interaction in the educational profession of higher education institution (reflexive technologies of removing stereotypes, business and role-playing games) and personality-oriented (“sociodrama”, tutoring). Keywords: model, modeling, approaches, teaching technologies, pedagogical conditions, formation of professional and communicative culture of future preschool teachers.
