The European Education Area and the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors:   Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania, Stoica Adrian-Claudiu
Published: August 2022

Over the last decades, across the European Union (EU), the concern for improvement of vocational education and training within the member states grew in importance. The COVID-19 pandemic affected this area of a strategic importance. Therefore, the European Union is considering the adoption of the certain measures aimed at reforming it. According to the EU vision, vocational education and training are essential to the restoring of Europe after the COVID-19 pandemic. Each member state of the European Union manages its national education and training systems and establishes the content of the curricula. According to 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, (TFEU), the EU takes on the role of contributing to a quality education, encouraging the cooperation between member states. The fast outspread and the virulence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the instauration of a panic feeling at global level. The global dynamics was turned upside down, causing survival, production and consume issues. Governments decided to introduce restricting measures across the economical and social plans. World economy was greatly affected: the markets collapsed, both in Europe and the United States, Latin America and Africa. The states adopted measures at national level, closing the borders and enforcing protectionist decisions. In their turn, citizens were ready to accept isolation measures in order to protect their health and lives. At the same time, free circulation and commerce, as well as the financial system, suffered as well. Therefore, autocratic and populist manifestations were greatly fuelled. Recession was in place and hundreds of millions of people became unemployed across the globe. State aids are the only financial resource for millions of people and numerous companies. A complex vicious circle came into being: the reduction of trust led to less crediting, unemployment and bankruptcy.
Knowledge-based Society and the School

Published: August 2022

In a knowledge-based society, the school is the most important institution, being responsible for the society of the future. Dewey and Lipman showed that the traditional school failed, focusing on the transfer of knowledge from those who know to those who do not know, from teacher to student. Such a school is concerned with ensuring success, performance, but it offers answers to questions that students don’t ask and ignores questions that they raise. On the whole, the school needs to adapt its practices so that students can learn how to ask questions and how to think for themselves.
The Nonhuman Character of Technology And Nature Revealed Through Photography
Authors:   Technical University of Moldova, Perciun Andrei
Published: August 2022

Tools, like photography, are helping the man fighting nature. However, inside the essential structures of photography there is no signification function. Therefore, the objects represented in the photograph appear as they are in nature, meaningless and without human presence. The photograph, like other technical devices, does not retain the meaning of things. And so, photography is equivalent to nature, which equivantly has nothing to do with human meanings and values. Only in the field of subjectivity and human intersubjectivity the meanings given to world objects are able to survive. In addition, free of sense objects from photography or film, under the guidance of consciousness can combine in unexpected ways and, as a result, produce alternative meanings. Hereafter, the photograph circumscribes an element that corresponds to the basic function of art in general, namely the opportunity to readjust the daily life in which we live in by giving possible meanings and opening up alternative perspectives. In this context, the man is no longer formalized by abstract rationality, but returns to the rethinking of the living environment in which he cohabitates with others.

Prioritization of Cybersecurity Measures
Authors:   Technical University of Moldova, Bolun Ion
Published: August 2022

The considerable losses caused by the low levelof cyber security of companies, institutions and so on and the limited financial resources available imply the need to prioritize the implementation of measures to counter cyber attacks. For this purpose, the respective optimization problem is formulated as a Boolean mathematical programming one. At large dimensions, the use of known methods of solving the problem requires a large volume of calculations. That’s why, a simple rule for approximately solving the problem is obtained. By computer simulation, it is shown that the error of the solution when using this rule decreases considerably with the increase of the number of cybersecurity measures, more accurate – the more detailed such measures are. In order to reduce the error of solutions, three other simple algorithms are also proposed. The latter of these algorithms is more detailed and allows to reduce to a greater extent the solutions’ error.

Dynamics of “Transdanubian settlers” in Bessarabia in the early XIXth century: migration processes and natural growth
Authors:   State University of Intelligent Technologies and Communications, Ukraine, Ganchev Aleksandr
Published: August 2022

The population dynamics of Transdanubian settlers in Bessarabia during the first half of the XIXth century is a significant matter that can be addressed within historical demography. This paper uses its methods and employs the potential realization forms in the population’s age-andsex structure – a model or mode of the community demographic reproduction amid the large-scale migration. The research results are based on a comparative analysis of three variants of the population’s natural growth coefficient, calculated by us. The first one is applied to larger time intervals where birth and death rates are unknown; the second is for annual intervals where the total birth and death rates are known in absolute data. The third one is based on the birth and death rates variability, calculated for individual colonies. The author concludes that the investigated period is the time of community formation through resettlement and adaptation to the new Budzhak realia, its stabilization, and evolution in the region due to internal potential. The period 1818–1835 is a stage in population resource formation. In 1835–1850, the community develops demographically through self-reproduction without the intervention of migration factors. In 1850, the community totals 82,200 people due to demographic growth and birth rate. Obviously, the demographic potential of the group in the first half of the 19th century was quite strong.

Published: August 2022

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most affecting autoimmune neurodegenerative disease characterized by chronic neuroinflammation, demyelination and impaired neuronal conduction. The oligodendrocytes toxicity by inflammatory cytokines and oxy-radicals are considered to be the most important factor in demyelination of motor neurons. The dysfunction of neuronal A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) contributes to the demyelination of neurons by triggering the pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxy-radicals and neuroinflammatory cascades. In MS pathogenesis, Antigen presenting cells, MHC protein, CD4+T-cells, GM-CSF along with effector cells enhance the activation of macrophages in adenosinergic declined conditions, where it shows cumulative effects which leads to oligodendrocytes toxicity and demyelination of motor neurons. In general, A1AR is mainly expressed in macrophage lineage cells in central nervous system which could control the macrophage activation upon stimulation by its agonists. In this review, we have mainly emphasized on the pathogenesis of MS and highlighted the importance of adenosinergic system in reversing the molecular events in MS. In addition, we have discussed about the beneficial role of A1AR agonists in MS management.

Published: August 2022

Background: Suffering from recurrent boils (furunclosis) is a common problem in our locality as it is noticed by many dermatologists especially in association with increasingly hot weather. The most common causative organisms are staphylococci. Objective: The aim of the study was to shed the light upon this problem and compare two systemic therapeutic agents for the prevention of recurrence, doxycycline and rifampicin. Patient and method: One hundred thirty-five (135) Patients with recurrent boils from Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital dermatology outpatient department were included in this study; age ranged from 10 to 64 years old and out of total patients 32 were males and 103 were females. Patients were assessed by full history and clinical examination done by dermatologist. An aspirate from the content of the boil was taken from 30 patients for bacteriological culture. The patients were treated by topical with or without systemic anti-staph antibiotics followed by a preventive protocol of doxycycline100mg twice daily for two months duration in 50 patients and rifampicin 600mg for ten days in the other 85 patients. Both groups used topical sodium fucidate 2% ointment twice daily in nostrils, axilla and perineum for ten days. All were followed up for 2 years to assess the recurrence after treatment. Results: Out of 135 patients treated, 3 (2.22%) patients defaulted from follow up (they were from doxycyclin group) and out of the remainder 132, only 9 (6.8%) patients had recurrence after treatment; 7 (14.89%) patients from the doxycycline group and 3(3.52%) patients from rifampicin group. Forty 40 (85.1%) patients responded well to doxycycline without recurrence for 2 years compared to 83 (97.65%) patients treated with Rifampicin with no recurrence during the 2 years of follow up. The noticed side effects were gastric upset in doxycycline and urine discoloration in rifampicin. Conclusion: Rifampicin regimen in prevention of recurrent boils significantly showed higher effectiveness in addition to more tolerable, easier, shorter course, and fewer side effects than doxycyclin.

Published: August 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of chito-oligosaccharides (COS) from Tilapia fish scales. There is a massive potential in sustainably prospecting from these resources: algae, vertebrate, crustaceans, molluscs, residues from fish farms, and fisheries such as bones, skin, and fins, internal organs and non-bio-degradable substances such as scales—the production COS achieved by chemical hydrolysis involving demineralization, deproteinization and deacetylation. The antibacterial activities performed against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus agalactiea, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi. The bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect measured by taking Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC), and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBC). Chitin yielded 32.74% from 100 grams of dried fish scales in this study, whereas Chito-oligosaccharides yielded 24.12% from 100 grams of chitin. The ratio of MBC/MIC determination reveals the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of a COS. The bactericidal properties were visible in COS. The potential antibacterial effect of COS obtained by Tilapia fish scales could be utilized for biomedical purposes such as wound healing.
De falacias y sofismas: una mirada cáustica sobre el imperio de la ley como axioma
Authors: Caballero Trenado Laura
Published: August 2022

Javier Vilaplana, especialista de extensa trayectoria en litigación, disecciona en este ensayo el concepto de nuevo cuño posverdad en el marco del proceso judicial, donde se concitan al menos dos versiones contradictorias, y en el que, con frecuencia, los “hechos alternativos” se imponen a los “hechos objetivos”. En consecuencia, la realidad acaba difuminándose, por lo que “justicia y verdad no tienen por qué ir exigible o necesariamente de la mano” (Vilaplana, 2021: 17). Esta advertencia es el vector que sobrevuela el conjunto de esta obra, en la que, con la paciencia de un entomólogo, el autor desgrana con prolijidad, pero con una prosa ágil y amena todas las cuestiones que convergen en torno a un juicio para que esta mutación fructifique y cristalice en una realidad distorsionada. De este modo, planteada en torno a 25 capítulos muy breves, Vilaplana desbroza el fenómeno de la posverdad a la luz de la relación, esencialmente, con la justicia y la legalidad, desde un tanteo con lo más general hasta lo más concreto.
Terceros civiles y garantía del juez natural en la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz: análisis de la Sentencia C-674 de 2017 desde una perspectiva transicional
Authors: Estrada Valencia Fabio
Published: August 2022

El escrito tiene como objetivo formular una crítica a la Sentencia C-674 de 2017, en la cual la Corte Constitucional colombiana, con fundamento en la teoría de la sustitución de la Constitución, declaró inconstitucional el acto legislativo que preveía que los terceros civiles que participaron en crímenes durante el conflicto armado debían ser investigados por la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP), con fundamento en que se reemplazaba integralmente la garantía del juez natural. En el texto se realiza un análisis de la doctrina y la jurisprudencia para concluir que, contrario a lo sostenido por la Corte Constitucional, el aludido acto legislativo sí superaba el juicio de sustitución de la Constitución, desde una perspectiva transicional.

Authors:   Catholic University of Ghana, Fiapre-Sunyani, Bono Region, Ghana, Kwabena Odum James
Published: August 2022

The Ministry of Education (MoE)/Ghana Education Service (GES) require all mathematics teachers to use manipulative materials to teach mathematics in Junior High Schools (JHSs) because they have the potential to demystify learning of the subject. The study was designed to examine the use of manipulative materials in teaching mathematics among junior high school teachers in the Seikwa Central Circuit of the Tain District of the Bono Region. The questionnaire was used to collect data from 15 teachers and 9 headteachers sampled from JHSs in the Seikwa Central Circuit of the Tain district. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to the quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire. The study showed those teachers use manipulative materials in teaching mathematics in the classroom. Teachers knew the benefits of manipulative materials in learning; two factors challenged their use in the classroom: non-availability and inadequate supply of manipulative materials, and the high cost of preparing some manipulative materials. The study concluded that most JHS teachers in the circuit improvise most of the manipulative materials they use in the classroom since they are not supplied by MOE/GES, NGOs/Philanthropists, Tain district assembly, and PTA/SMC. The study recommended that stakeholders in education in the Seikwa Circuit should boost the supply of manipulative materials and organize periodic in-service training for JHS teachers on the use and development of manipulative materials for teaching mathematics. Lastly, MOE/GES should organize in-service training on the use of problem-solving in teaching mathematics.

Published: August 2022

Consumptive behaviour has changed as a frequent and normal act to be done as a result of globalization. Several previous research/studies have revealed that such consumption tendencies are influenced not just by brand quality and price, but also by psychological factors such as peer pressure. Due to the lack of communication barriers, an individual's tendency to follow others emerges as motivation. The goal of this research is to see if there is a correlation between the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) phenomenon and consumer behaviour. This study employed a quantitative method with an explanatory research approach. The data was collected using online questionnaires sent to 125 millennials aged 20 to 38 years old, using a convenience sampling technique. With a Pearson correlation value of 0,970, this study found a positive and strong relationship between FoMO and Consumptive Behaviour.

Published: August 2022

Endocrine disruptors are natural or synthetic substances or mixtures which we learn more about through an increasing number of studies. They interfere with synthesis, secretion, transport, metabolism, binding to receptors, and excretion of natural hormones, thus negatively impacting healthy organisms and their following generations. Exposure to endocrine disruptors in childhood, starting from intrauterine life, has critical importance. Concerning pediatric endocrinology, endocrine disruptors are especially associated with changes in male urogenital system development, effects related to pubertal timing and thyroid function, and predisposition to obesity. It seems possible that they might be related to gender incongruence phenomenon which has recently started to be observed in adolescents. Precautions are needed to be taken to prevent exposure of children to endocrine disruptors and should be emphasized that precautions taken today will protect future generations from the effect of endocrine disruptors tomorrow.

A utilização de espécies vegetais para a cura de doenças e sintomas remonta ao começo da civilização, desde que o homem começou a usar e a alterar os recursos naturais para seu próprio benefício. Fitoterapia sigfinica etimologicamente “terapia com plantas”, e se define como a ciência que pesquisa a utilização dos produtos de origem vegetal com intuito terapêutico para se precaver, suavizar ou curar um estado patológico. Neste contexto, a fitoterapia engloba plantas medicinais, extratos e medicamentos fitoterápicos. Diante da importância dos extratos das plantas para o tratamento de infecções, o presente estudo teve como objetivo determinar a Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) sobre a técnica de microdiluição em caldo da fase clorofórmica de Raphiodon echius frente as cepas de Candida krusei. Para o teste de microdiluição em caldo, a fase clorofórmica de Raphiodon echinus apresentou CIM 50 de 256 μg/mL para as cepas do fungo. Considera-se, portanto, que o produto testado apresenta um efeito antifúngico contra as cepas de Candida krusei.

Introduction: Amoebic liver abscess (ALA) is the most commonly seen extra intestinal manifestation of Entamoeba infection.[1] Out of which, a rare complication of amoebic liver abscess is rupture of liver abscess. We report 43 cases of ruptured amoebic liver abscess coming with acute abdomen which were operated at Department of Surgery, Dhiraj general hospital, Vadodara from January 2020 to December 2021. Surgical treatment in these cases should be carried out in a timely fashion prior to the presentation of systemic repercussions or death.  result: Out of all patients, 37 patients were male and 6 were female and 37 patients were chronic alcoholic. The mean age was 47 years. At presentation, most cases had clinical signs of generalized peritonitis. Ultrasonography for collection in peritoneal cavity showed moderate free fluid with internal echoes suggestive of pyoperitoneum. Out of which 09 patients had free air under the diaphragm. All 43 patients underwent resuscitation and then shifted for surgery. All underwent exploratory laparotomy for ruptured liver abscess.  Intraoperatively, 05 patients had a single abscess in the right lobe, 06 had abscess in both lobes of liver and 33 had multiple abscesses in right lobe.

The present research work describes formulation and evaluation of celecoxib containing gel using transdermal delivery. Transdermal potential of nanoparticulate gel was investigated using in-vitro and in-vivo study. In present study procured drug samples were investigated under preformulation studies. For development of nanparticles containing celecoxib, nanoprecipitation method is used. The formulated nanoparticles were evaluated for different parameters such as zeta potential, particle size, % entrapment efficiency, in-vitro drug release, SEM and stability studies. The formulated nanoparticles were formulated as gel using carbopol. Formulated carbopol gels were characterized for appearance, spreadability, pH, viscosity, drug content, consistency index and ex-vivo drug release, in-vitro drug release. Formulated gels were evaluated for in-vitro studies (skin irritation and skin permeation). Further evaluated for stability studies as per ICH guidelines, results of stability studies reveled that both the formulated gels were found to be stable at stuied temperatures.

Background: The majority of proximal femur fractures (PFFs) affects the elderly. The present study was conducted to analyze the functional outcome of proximal femur fracture in patients having cardiac diseases. Materials and Methods: A prospective medical record of 50 cases that underwent surgery at Department of Orthopedics, LG Hospital and AMC MET College, Ahmedabad, Gujarat (India) were selected who were having proximal femur fracture with cardiac diseases. The preliminary history, examination details and functional outcome was assessed using Harris Hip score. After taking detailed history and examination, the patients were followed up after 4-6 weeks and 3-4 months. All statistical calculations were done using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) SPSS 21 version statistical program for Microsoft Windows. Results: The mean HHS at 4-6 weeks was 42.33 and at 3-4 months was found to be 65.43 and the p value found to be 0.0001 which is a significant value. The maximum mean HHS found in patients having LV dysfunction was 43.45 and minimum mean HHS found in patients having an old MI i.e. 30.23. At 3-4 months, mean HHS was found to be maximum in patients with H/O CABG that i.e.

Introduction: Sexual Risk Behaviour (SRB) among undergraduates has emerged as an important public health issue worldwide. Therefore, the study objective is to assess the prevalence of SRB and its associated factors among second-year undergraduates in a lower resource setting. Methods: A descriptive-cross-sectional study was carried out among 1290, second-year undergraduates in Sri Lanka using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling. Four universities were randomly selected out of 10 eligible universities. The cluster size was 30 and 43 clusters were allocated proportionate to the total second-year undergraduate population and three faculties selected. University Health Risk Behaviour (UniHRB) Inventory is a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) developed, translated and validated in a local setting. SRB was assessed using 18 items, and the minimum score obtained was 0 and the maximum possible score was 78. The minimum threshold score for the presence of SRB was 27 based on expert opinion. A SAQ was developed to assess its associated factors. The factors significantly associated with SRB were identified using appropriate significant tests. All the variables significant p £0.05 in the bivariate analysis were checked for possible effect modification with each other for SRB. In logistic regression analysis forward stepwise logistic regression method was used to identify Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results: Overall response-rate for the study was 88.1% (n=1136). Prevalence of SRB was 3.5% (95%CI:2.6%-4.7%) and it was more among females (3.9%, 95%CI: 2.5-5.8%) and undergraduates of the Engineering Faculty (5.3%,95%CI:1.8-12.2%). SRB was significantly associated with risky-substance-use (AOR=5.7; 95%CI:1.7-18.4), undue-risk-behavior (AOR=9.0;95%CI:2.6-30.4), being emotionally abused during childhood (AOR=5.9; 95%CI:1.6-20.9), perpetrating physical bullying (AOR=2.2;95%CI 1.5-3.1), discrimination due to religion (AOR=4.1;95%CI:1.2-14.2) and negatively associated with EI (AOR=0.96;95%CI 0.92-0.99). Conclusions: Co-existence and clustering of HRBs were observed, Higher emotional intelligence was significantly negatively associated with SRB.

Miscarriages is when an embryo/foetus expires before the tenth week of gestation. It occurs most commonly early during pregnancy. Women who had a miscarriage looked to be more likely to die before the age of 70 than those who had any other pregnancy outcomes. Objective: To determine the frequency of uterine abnormalities related with persistent miscarriages in pregnancy on ultrasound. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of 4 months from February 2022 to May 2022. A sample size of 70 patients was collected using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected from Memorial Christian Hospital Sialkot. Patients with multiple miscarriages due to uterine abnormalities were included in the current study. Patients with less than two miscarriages, self-induced miscarriages and miscarriages due to foetal anomalies were excluded. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: The study showed that the mean age of affected women experiencing miscarriage is 28.72. The highest rate of miscarriage was found in 38 (54.3%) of females and least in 4 (5.7%). The common cause of miscarriage was fibroids. Out of 70 females, 34 (48.6%) had fibroids, 14 (20%) had cervical incompetence, 9 (12.9%) had uterine adhesions, 6 (8.6%) had abnormal uterine size, 4 (5.7%) had uterine polyp and remaining 3 (4.3%) had congenital anomalies. Conclusion: The study concluded that miscarriages and uterine factors are closely linked. Uterine fibroids have shown the highest percentage of patients that had undergone miscarriage.
