Authors: Orssatto Angelo José , Rizzi Claudia Brandelero , Rizzi Rogério Luis , Brun André Luiz
Published: December 2022

A dengue é uma das doenças mais importantes atualmente, ameaçando aproximadamente metade da população mundial, principalmente as regiões próximas aos trópicos, com climas tropicais e subtropicais, em áreas urbanas e suburbanas. O número de casos e mortes decorrentes da doença tem aumentado consideravelmente, implicando em maiores impactos sociais e econômicos. Uma boa estratégia para o combate ao vetor e ao tratamento apropriado aos contaminados é a preparação adequada dos órgãos responsáveis. Assim, estratégias que possam predizer a ocorrência de surtos da dengue desempenham papel primordial. Neste estudo fez-se a avaliação de diversas estratégias na estimação do número de casos positivos de dengue para o município de Cascavel, Paraná. Avaliou-se os métodos de Média Móvel, Suavização Exponencial, ARIMA, SVM, MLP, Florestas Aleatórias e Redes Neurais Recorrentes. As informações utilizadas no estudo foram o número de casos positivos no período de 2007 a 2014, o mês de ocorrência, a temperatura média, o índice pluviométrico e a umidade relativa do ar. O melhor desempenho foi alcançado pelo MLP com valor de 3,163 para a raiz do erro quadrático médio (RMSE). Em seguida, os melhores desempenhos foram obtidos pelos algoritmos de Floresta Aleatório e Média Móvel, com RMSE de 3,264 e 4,123, respectivamente.

Authors: Rhee Chai Ming , Sankaran Padmaan , Ming Yap Lee
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignancy which arises from hepatocytes. It is the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide in 2020. It predominantly metastasizes via the hematogenous route. However, there are possibility of distant metastasis via the lymphatic and bone dissemination in a few of HCC cases.

Case Series: We report two atypical cases of HCC with distant metastasis to cervical lymph node and bone in Malaysia. The first case reported is a HCC case of extrahepatic metastasis to cervical lymph node and the second case is a HCC case of extrahepatic metastasis to right femur.

Conclusion: The patients with atypical site of distant metastasis from HCC have poor prognosis. Overall physical examination should be done to prevent overlook for all the patients with HCC.

Authors: KONUKSEVER Dilek , YÜCEL KARAKAYA Sevinç Püren
Published: December 2022

Introduction: This study aims to determine the frequency of vitamin D deficiency according to gender and age groups in children admitted to our hospital.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the pediatric clinic of a tertiary care hospital in Ankara. Healthy children whose 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were measured for any reason from January 2015 to January 2020 were included in the study. The vitamin D levels of the participants were analyzed according to age, gender, and measuring season. Children were divided into 4 subgroups according to their age: infancy (0-1 years), preschool (2-5 years), school (6-11 years), and adolescence (12-18 years). Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations ≤20 ng/ml.

Results: A total of 16321 children were included in the study. The participants detected Vitamin D deficiency in 10777 (66%). The deficiency was mostly detected during adolescence (n: 6718, 51%). This was followed by the school period (31.3%), preschool period (15.1%), and infancy (2.7%), respectively. The deficiency was mostly detected during the winter months. While vitamin D deficiency was more common in women over the age of six, no difference was found between the sexes under the age of six.

Conclusions: In this study, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children was found to be high. Due to its role in many physiological events, urgent measures should be taken for the prevention, recognition, and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in children.

Factors associated with acetabular degeneration and protrusion in bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty
Authors: EMRE Fahri , ERTAŞ Erkan Sabri , BOZKURT Murat
Published: December 2022

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the effect of some factors such as the diameter of bipolar prosthetic heads, body mass index (BMI), age, gender, bone mineral density (BMD) and leg length discrepancy (LLD) on the acetabular protrusion in elderly patients who had hip bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) after femoral neck fractures.

Methods

The study included a total of 209 patients with a mean age of 77.4 ± 6.0 years who underwent BHA. The difference between the femoral head diameter of the patients and the diameter of the bipolar prosthetic head was divided into two groups, ranging from 0 to -2 mm (same and 1,2 mm small size) . Acetabular enlargement and cartilage degeneration were followed by standard AP pelvis radiographs and clinical outcomes were evaluated by the Harris Hip Score (HHS) after surgery and during 5 years of follow-up.

Results

During the 5-year follow-up, while HHS values decreased, acetabular diameter increased. Acetabular protrusion developed in 21 (10%) patients, acetabular revision surgery was performed for 36 (17%) patients, the difference between native femoral head diameter and prosthetic head diameter was significantly higher in these groups, as was mean LLD (p = 0.0001). Mean T scores obtained with BMD were lower in these groups (p = 0.0001).

Conclusion

It is safer and more reliable to use a bipolar prosthetic head the same size as the patient’s native femoral head in BHA. When considering the acetabular protrusion and revision surgery rate in this study, small-size bipolar prosthetic head implantation is not recommended and may cause devastating complications.
Development of a Hydrodynamic Model for Regulating Water Drainage of Reservoir and Water Resources Management, Lamtakong Watershed of Thailand
Authors: Faksomboon Banchongsak
Published: December 2022

The goal of this research was to develop a hydrodynamic model (HDD-M) for water resource management in the Lamtakong Watershed (LTKW), as well as to simulate three scenarios: 1) Current land use conditions in 2021, 2) Forecasting predicted land-use changes in 2024, and 3) Water drainage regulation of the Lamtakong Reservoir (LTKR) for water resource management in 2024. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model and Geographic Information System (GIS) program were used to estimate and simulate the amount of Surface Runoff (S), Sediment Yield (SED), Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand concentration (CBOD), and Nitrate concentration (NO3) based on a comparison of simulated and observed data. In scenario 1, the S, SED, CBOD, and NO3 were calculated to be 238.44 million cubic meters (MCM), 840,613.68 tons per year, 2.38 mg/L, and 7.36 mg/L, respectively. In the second scenario, the S decreased to 14.75 MCM, whereas SED, CBOD, and NO3 increased to 56,757.48 tons, 0.56 mg/L, and 0.79 mg/L, respectively, when compared to scenario 1, (Scenario 2). Scenario 3 demonstrated that during the dry season of November to June, the standards of surface water were CBOD and NO3, and that increasing LTKR drainage can help prevent the deterioration of water yields. As a result, the HDD-M, which includes the reservoir's controlling water drainage, may need to be considered to satisfy water resource management goals.
Tensions, Complexities, and Compromises
Authors: Phillips Murray G. , Osmond Gary
Published: December 2022

Researching and writing about Aboriginal sport history is one of the most challenging, and rewarding, opportunities of our scholarly careers. It is challenging because non-Aboriginal people must engage with ontological, epistemological, theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues and ideas that often exist outside traditional Western conventions. Challenges for male scholars escalate in attempting to represent the experiences of Aboriginal sportswomen. Not only do we need to engage with racial theories and gender analysis, as Susan Birrell has done throughout her career, but it involves consciously creating narratives from the outside as non-Aboriginal men with all the boundaries and limitations this situation imposes. The final layer of complexity is that Aboriginal history-making involves appropriate recognition of, and involvement with, Aboriginal people, and creating reciprocal relationships and practices that are community-driven. We address these issues through a case study of the Marching Girls from the Aboriginal settlement of Cherbourg in Queensland, Australia.
The Figure of the Sportswoman, Sport, and Nationalism in Burma, 1956–70
Authors: LoSavio JoAnn
Published: December 2022

The idealized figure of the “Burmese Sportswoman” as a narrative device in the development of Burmese nationalism is the subject of this essay. Burmese womanhood was an important vehicle in state reproduction in the mid-twentieth century, used by the state to communicate and define national identity. The Burmese Sportswoman was a subset of the larger archetype of the Burmese Woman, and the ways in which the state mobilized the Sportswoman to advance nationalism differed from its parent. Sport as a medium of delivery altered the ways in which the Burmese Sportswoman and female athletes carried out the state's agenda. Through an intertextual and visual analysis of the Burmese Sportswoman against the Burmese Woman, this article illuminates the significance of the Sportswoman figure and the role of sport in the matrix of power in postcolonial Burma.
Adolescent Self-Theories of Singing Ability Within a Choral Hierarchy
Authors: Adams Kari
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore adolescent self-views of singing ability through both implicit theories (i.e., fixed mindset and growth mindset) and self-concept meaning systems in the context of a choral hierarchy. Using a survey instrument modified from Dweck (1999) to measure self-theories of singing ability, I gathered data from middle and high school participants currently enrolled in a hierarchical choral structure. I analyzed descriptive statistics of survey responses to items designed to measure implicit theories of singing ability, singing self-concept, and goal orientation and differences among participants by ensemble placement in implicit theory and self-concept scores. In addition to these quantitative measures, I coded open-ended responses to two failure scenarios and examined participant responses by ensemble and gender. Both implicit theory and self-concept scores were higher for participants at the top of the choral hierarchy. Open-ended responses indicated that failure scenarios were associated with lowered self-concept and shame in ensemble placement, especially for female-identifying participants.
Instrumental Music Education in Rural North Carolina: A Descriptive Study
Authors: Causby Melody , Foster Catheryn Shaw
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate secondary instrumental music education in rural North Carolina. This descriptive study investigated the experiences, attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions that rural instrumental music educators (n = 55) held about their schools, students, and communities. Furthermore, the researchers examined how participants defined success for their programs, what challenges and rewards they experienced in their positions, and what skills they considered most important for themselves as teachers.

Results indicate that although rural music educators find the musical aspects of their positions rewarding, they believe that their nonmusical skills related to teaching, such as developing relationships with students and advocating for their programs, were more important than their own musical skills. Participants also considered student personal growth and experiences to be larger markers of success than musical performance abilities and reported moderately high levels of job satisfaction. The three greatest challenges named by participants were lack of support, limited funding or resources, and limited student involvement. Conversely, the most frequently reported rewards were musical experiences with students and witnessing students’ musical growth. Implications for music teacher education and recommendations for future research are discussed.
Analyzing the Growth of a Statewide Network to Increase Recruitment to and Persistence in STEM
Authors: Darrah Marjorie , Cowley Kimberly , Wheatley Christopher , McJilton Leah , Humbert Roxann
Published: December 2022

The First2 Network is a collection of people from K–12, higher education, government, and industry who are coming together to ensure that students of West Virginia, a rural Appalachian state, will be prepared to choose science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and persist in them. This project—funded by the National Science Foundation—combines many features, including semi-annual conferences, structured working groups, summer immersive experiences for students, a student ambassador program, and network improvement communities. The growth of the First2 Network is vital to make sure that these activities and programs are disseminated and sustained statewide. This article uses social network analysis to examine participation of people around the state during the first three years of the project. Findings indicate that the network is growing in number of people and in strength of connections. Network leadership members are playing key roles in the network, and student participants who persist in their STEM majors have stronger ties to the network. Social network indicators suggest that the network has manifested positive changes in the first three years of the project, which will lead to increased communication and collaboration among state agencies related to STEM persistence within the state.

Narrative, Knowledge, and Moral Character in Art and Literature
Authors: Carr David
Published: December 2022

Although the term “narrative” has been subject to very loose usage, it should be clear that scientific theories cannot be considered as such in the same sense as literary and artistic works. But this clearly calls the latter into serious epistemic question. On the one hand, we are often drawn to saying that agents have learned or come to know (morally or otherwise) something from literary or other artistic fictions; on the other hand, their fictional status seems to preclude regarding this as knowledge. Drawing on insights from Plato’s Socratic and other dialogues, this paper argues that such learning from art and literature should be deemed genuine knowledge of an epistemically uncontroversial kind.
Epicurus, Pleasure, and the Twenty-First-Century Diet
Authors: Worth Sarah , Davids Ben
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we address the question of the ways in which pleasure, as associated specifically with eating food, can help us understand the philosophical complexities of pleasure and how it can be neither purely physical nor purely intellectual. Philosophers have argued for centuries that intellectual pleasure is superior to physical pleasure, but here we make it clear that they are inextricably linked and interdependent on one another. We appeal to Plato, Aristotle, and Augustine, but rely heavily on the ideals of Epicurus for an understanding of the relationship between moderation and pleasure. In the end, we argue for a balanced approach to eating that can serve as a model for both physical, sexual, and intellectual pleasures.
The “Most Strenuous of Anglers’ Sports Is Tarpon Fishing”: The Silver King as Progressive Era Outdoor Sport
Authors: Kokomoor Kevin
Published: December 2022

This paper examines and discusses Progressive notions of masculinity through the outdoor pursuit of tarpon angling. While more popular Progressive Era sports including baseball and football have long been the focus of sporting historians, adventures including hunting and fishing draw similarly clear connections between Progressive notions of manhood, competition, and fellowship. Similar to hunting in the Far West, the battle with a large tarpon off the coast of Florida appealed to sporting men because of the brute force it took to subdue one; the sport drew these prospective outdoorsmen away from major Northern cities and towards a sporting target singular in its size and presence. Sporting men reveled in the competition as well as the congeniality of the hunt, drawing themselves together on the fishing grounds and in the region’s lodges, while simultaneously attempting to distance themselves from all others through extraordinary catches.
Harlem’s Unsung Hero: The Life and Legacy of Holcombe Rucker
Authors: Jonsrud Jarrod
Published: December 2022

With an intense desire to improve the conditions of his native Harlem, New York, Holcombe Rucker established the city’s first summer basketball league and tournament. He established these activities because he believed his community deserved better. Rucker’s passion for teaching and mentoring young people through basketball consumed his short life. The sacrifices he made for Harlem, the lives of countless youth, and the game of basketball deserve more recognition. His spirit and legacy should not reside only on the basketball courts of Rucker Park. True to his motto of “Each One, Teach One,” each time someone he taught instilled those lessons in another person his spirit is revived, and his legacy is reborn. Investigation into Holcombe Rucker’s life and his mission to give the children of his community a better chance at overcoming their disadvantages serves as a reminder that he was a man who inspired a generation to reach beyond what it ever thought possible.
Austrian Sport and the Challenges of Its Recent Historiography
Authors: Marschik Matthias
Published: December 2022

In Austria sports history is situated between history (which is not interested in sports) and physical education (which is no longer interested in history). Although sports history enjoyed a long tradition at Vienna University, academic research in the field trickled to a halt in the 1980s. From the beginning of the 1990s, however, a new sports history emerged in the work of academic freelancers who came from different research disciplines. On the basis of this interdisciplinary approach they established a wide-ranging field of research based primarily on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and the British model of cultural studies. Initially, their work dealt with the obvious topic of soccer, but over the last decade, the focus has broadened to embrace questions of nationalism, migration, masculinity and gender, body politics, and space as well as other forms of sport and the nature of sporting cultures in general.
“A Blond, Broad-shouldered Athlete with Bright Grey-blue Eyes”: German Propaganda and Gotthardt Handrick’s Victory in Modern Pentathlon at the Nazis’ Olympics in 1936
Authors: Heck Sandra
Published: December 2022

Modern pentathlon requires mainly military skills and historically attracted the attention of officers only. Appropriately, the country that provided the best modern pentathletes simultaneously demonstrated its military strength. Gotthardt Handrick who interrupted a long-lasting Swedish hegemony over the modern pentathlon developed into Germany’s national pride. Surprisingly, his victory in the 1936 Olympics modern pentathlon competition is relatively unknown and under-investigated.

This paper investigates how Handrick’s performance at the 1936 games was presented in Germany in various press documents and thereby gives insights into the Nazis’ instrumentalization of the sport. By analyzing different articles in German newspapers and journals it is aimed to detect the propaganda that possibly contributed to the construction of Handrick’s heroic image in an up-tothat-date minor sport. It is argued that the often criticized military links of modern pentathlon never turned out to be so true than in the pre-war atmosphere of the 1936 Olympics.
Developing Catachrestic Sport Histories: Toward a Critical Biography of Elite Distance Runner Sydney Maree
Authors: Walton Theresa
Published: December 2022

Transnational citizen and athlete Sydney Maree’s life story, like many personal histories, reveals the lived experiences of larger political and cultural shifts. Drawing from an in-depth interview with Maree, I develop the theoretical framework for a critical biography using Critical Legal Studies (CLS) and postcolonial theorist Gayatri Spivak’s concepts of the subaltern and catachresis. In particular, I apply the notion of catachrestic history as developed by historian Tani Barlow to explicate the historical, political, and cultural contexts which condition Maree’s personal story and within which his life can be understood. In order to make a case for catachrestic history, I highlight the useful ways critical biographies have developed within CLS, examining the ways notions of the subaltern and catachresis extend and more fully develop this project. Rather than provide a chronological account of Maree’s life story, I offer brief critical examples of his experiences, as an example, ultimately, of catachrestic history.
Dissenting Voices: The Discourse of Competition in The Sportswoman
Authors: Couturier Lynn E.
Published: December 2022

In the 1920s, the appropriateness of competition for women became contested among educators and the public. In order to avoid the problems associated with men’s highly competitive athletics, many women physical educators sought to deemphasize competition and promote simple participation. According to sport historian Roberta Park, these women were “searching for a middle ground” in the debate. There was, however, another group of women whose position dissented from the polarized positions of the public as well as those who promoted the “middle ground” when it came to women’s competition. These women were the editorial staff of The Sportswoman, which was a periodical on women’s sport published from 1924 to 1936. While the editors included multiple perspectives on women’s competition, their own position was frequently in direct conflict with some of the other contributors. This paper highlights the overt and covert strategies used in the magazine to promote the acceptability of women’s competition in sport.
Swimming History after Deconstruction: A Queer Engagement
Authors: McLachlan Fiona
Published: December 2022

In this paper I make a case for history that is both deconstructive and creative. I begin from my position of “deconstructionism” and move towards queer engagement, which I argue, is a productive term that enables me to embrace deconstruction and subjective approaches to history making, without falling into the trap of writing a coherent “self ” into the text. I create an example of a fragmented swimming history to illustrate what queer engagement might look like in practice.
Figures from Her rINK
Authors: Popovic Megan L.
Published: December 2022

“Figures from Her rINK” is an affective, autoethnographic piece that blends reflexive, narrative writing, and poetic representation to explore how lived sporting experiences of the past inform perceptions of Self in the present. Writing—in ink—from the position of doctoral researcher—in the academic arena, or rink— I weave my struggle with writing about paradoxical experiences and finding meaning in the memories as a competitive figure skater, and the comprehension of feminine/ity within the sport and academic arenas. Using personal journals, photographs, and recorded performances from skating, instead of writing from a conventional linear, rational, disembodied pattern, I carve my feminist sport history into the writing itself via spiraling logic, visual thinking, and kinesthetic learning. Moreover, this paper brings voice to memory, feminine consciousness, embodiment, self-awareness, and self-acceptance in and through the autoethnographic story of figure skating memories and meaning.
John L. Griffith and the Commercialization of College Sports on Radio in the 1930s
Authors: O’toole Kathleen M.
Published: December 2022

The foundation for lucrative corporate/academic media partnerships was established in the late 1920s and early 1930s. This study examines the role of Maj. John L. Griffith—the Big Ten’s first full-time commissioner and a leader in the National Collegiate Athletic Association—in promoting the expansion and commercialization of intercollegiate athletics. In his public speeches, private correspondence, and editorial commentary in his monthly publication, the Athletic Journal, Griffith positioned intercollegiate sports as the antithesis of the emerging social welfare policies of the New Deal. His anti-Socialist rhetoric reflected the themes used by the new radio corporations in their successful effort to dominate the airwaves at the expense of non-profit broadcasters, and it facilitated the gradual accommodation to commercialized broadcasts of college sports by yoking intercollegiate football to ideals of democracy and capitalism.
Representing “The Rocket”: The Filmic Use of Maurice Richard in Canadian History
Authors: Field Russell
Published: December 2022

In the late 1950s, a team of French-Canadian filmmakers at the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) began working in the new techniques of cinema verité (direct cinema). They focused their cameras on moments of everyday life, capturing folkloric elements of Québécois culture as well as sporting moments. One figure who appears in a number of productions is Maurice “The Rocket” Richard, star forward with the National Hockey League’s Montreal Canadiens and an iconic figure in French-Canadian society at a time when nationalist sentiments were bubbling to the surface. This paper examines two feature-length documentary films—Un jeu si simple (1964) and Peut-être Maurice Richard (1971)—as well as two short animated films—Mon numéro 9 en or (1972) and The Sweater (1980)—to consider The Rocket mediated through filmic images. It is about the myth as much as the man, seen through the filmmaker’s lens.
From Black Power to Indigenous Activism: The Olympic Movement and the Marginalization of Oppressed Peoples (1968-2012)
Authors: O’Bonsawin Christine
Published: December 2022

During the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games, Indigenous boxer and member of the Australian national team Damien Hooper was nearly disqualified from Olympic competition for entering the ring wearing a shirt inscribed with the Aboriginal flag of Australia. National Olympic officials cited charter rule 50, which forbids political, religious, or racial demonstrations inside an Olympic venue, to immediately reprimand this Indigenous athlete for his actions. Using the Hooper example, this paper argues that Olympic principles and governing laws undoubtedly infringe on the fundamental human rights of marginalized and oppressed populations throughout the world. Specifically, Olympic Charter rule 50 categorically sustains the illegal missions of colonizing settler governments that attempt to rule over Indigenous people and their lands. Within the Olympic domain, Indigenous athletes are forced to assume the identity of the colonizing settler citizenry, thereby further validating the political authority of an illegally imposed governing structure.
“Decisive Political Means”: International Security Cooperation and the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games
Authors: Duckworth Austin
Published: December 2022

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected Seoul, South Korea, as the host of the 1988 Summer Olympic Games in Baden-Baden, Germany, in 1981. Due to the acrimonious history between the two nations, in particular North Korea’s bombing of a South Korean civilian airplane in 1987, fear existed that North Korea might attack the games. In response to the North Korean threat, the IOC, national governments, and national Olympic committees worked together to provide security for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. As relations between the United States and Soviet Union slowly improved, protecting the Olympics factored into arms-control discussions between the two rivals. Simultaneously, despite a long-held aversion to politics interfering with sport, the situation forced the IOC to manipulate political ties to ensure a safe Olympic Games. This system of international security cooperation had a lasting impact on Olympic security.

We examined genetic diversity in seven individuals of the plant species through isozymic analysis. Isozymes are powerful tool for determining genetic variability within and between the populations of plant species. The endangered Arachniodes amabilis was monomorphic for the all twelve loci scored. This study emphasizes the potential use of data on population structure for managing and monitoring rare species.
Analysis of repeated measures: A comparison of alternative method
Authors: Rugmini P. , Jayaraman K.
Published: December 2022

Data arising from repeated measurements of experimental units occur in many occasions in forestry and related fields. Very often such data are analysed without considering their several peculiarities, like correlation between successive measurements and heterogeneity of variances, which may lead to erroneous conclusions. The present study was undertaken with the objective of identifying appropriate methods of analysis of data from long term trials characterised by repeated measurements on experimental units. In this study, three different methods of analysing repeated measures, viz., two way analysis of variance, univariate mixed model analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of variance methods were compared using data collected from a study on several soil properties observed from multiple core samples from 0-15, 15-50 and 50-100 cm layers under six different types of vegetation and another study on annual yield of latex from rubber trees in three years and the appropriate methods of analysis to be followed in respective cases were identified. The study revealed that multivariate analysis of variance is the most appropriate method of analysis for majority of the soil properties as well as for annual yield of latex from rubber trees.

Mango and neem leaf extract were prepared by soaking the measured leaves into 100ml of distilled water under appropriate conditions. Consequently, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out by distinctly adding the mango and neem leaf extract to prepared solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) to produce aqueous dispersion of silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles produced were investigated using FTIR, UV-Visible and AFM Spectroscopy at 15 minutes, 24 hours and 48 hours respectively. Reduction in OH absorption proves chemical interaction of mango extract with AgNO3. UV/Visible also revealed colour changes from faint yellow to brown to reddish brown within 15 minutes and 24 hours of incubation at room temperature. Atomic Force Microscopy revealed that the sizes of mango-based dispersion are smaller than that of neem-based dispersion.

Творческое наследие Ованеса Туманяна занимает важнейшее место в армянской литературе и во всей духовной культуре. Творчество поэта стало наилучшим воплощением прошлого и настоящего Армении, ее духовных сил и художественных традиций. То обстоятельство, что Туманян творил на стыке двух столетий – XIX и XX веков – может стать отправной точкой для изучения философского контекста его творчества. В целом его можно представить как систему представлений о действительности, с помощью которых можно выделить, описать или реконструировать любую социально-психологическую единицу, будь то нация, социальная группа или индивид. Creative heritage of Hovhannes Tumanyan occupies the most important place in the Armenian literature and in the entire spiritual culture. The poet's creative works has become the best embodiment of the past and present of Armenia, its spiritual power and artistic traditions. The fact that Tumanyan created at the turn of two centuries – XIX and XX centuries – can be the starting point for studying the philosophical context of his works. In general, it can be represented as a system of insightful perceptions of reality, with the help of which one can single out, describe or reconstruct any social-psychological unit, whether it be a nation, a social group or an individual.
Ղունկիանոս Կարնեցու «Աշխատութեան վրայ» բանաստեղծությունը

Стихотворение ашуга-поэта переходного периода развития армянской литературы Лункианоса Карнеци (1781/1786 –1841) «О труде» имеет познавательный смысл. Одним из свойств ашугской поэзии является периодическое повторение в каждой строке и строфе слова или словосочетания как смысловой единицы, подчеркивающей смысл и суть данного стихотворения. Здесь это слово «դատել» в значении «работать», «трудиться». Карнеци обращается к несущим вдохновение основам духовного облика человека – трудолюбию, мужеству, творчеству. Стихотворение, имеющее так- же признаки светского духа, является одним из примеров развития армянской поэзии. The poem by minstrel-singer of the transitional period in the development of Armenian literature - Ghunkianos Karnetsi (1781/1786-1841), “On Labor” has a cognitive meaning. One of the features of minstrel poetry is the periodic repetition in each line and stanza of a word or phrase as a semantic unit, emphasizing the meaning and essence of this poem. Here the word «դատել» means “to work”, “to labor”. The author refers to the inspirational principles of the spiritual image of a person - diligence, courage, and creativity. The poem, which also has signs of a secular spirit, is one of the examples of the development of Armenian poetry.
