Emotional intelligence and the second language acquisition in virtual learning environment
Authors: Bhatti N. V.
Published: December 2023

Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences has been further developed to focus on the research of human cognitive activities. Thus, the concept of emotional intelligence, which is the topic of the current paper, was introduced by John D. Mayer, Peter Salovey and ‎Daniel Goleman. General intelligence can be defined as the capacity to carry out abstract reasoning to understand meanings, to recognize the similarities and differences between two concepts and to make generalizations. Emotional intelligence is not a part of general intelligence. Emotional intelligence can be defined as an ability of a human to perceive oneself and interact with others with the help of obtained and processed emotional information. Language acquisition is mediated by the necessity to communicate with others. Consequently, the ability to manage the process of communication is of utmost importance in learning a language. Virtual learning environment reduces dramatically the immediate interaction of the participants of the process of education. It undoubtedly affects the process of acquisition and demands to reconsider the distribution of different learning activities.

Social Character of Artificial Intelligence Technologies
Authors: Danielyan N. V.
Published: December 2023

The article considers modern transformations of the ideas concerning subject’s cognitive abilities towards object because of the emergence and development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The developments of scientists and engineers from National Research University of Electronic Technology (Moscow, Russia) in the field of artificial intelligence have been taken as a foundation and material of this research. Their analysis allows making a conclusion that the humanity is rather far from the realization of ‘strong artificial intelligence’. We need a qualitative breakthrough in AI material and technological basis for it. Applying ‘model-dependent realism’ by S. Hawking in the course of the speculations in the article, the author concludes that the purpose of cognition in modern science is not to describe an objective reality, but to organize its subjective perception by some definite way. So, the purpose of cognition is the perfection of cognition models permitting a subject ‘to capture’ the reality. This idea is completely confirmed by Maturana and Varela’s autopoiesis theory and von Foerster’s ‘second-order cybernetics’. The article drafts some prospects of moving away from post-nonclassical scientific thinking in its current understanding, because the development of AI technologies results in ‘blurring’ borders of subjectivity in the cognition process. The author concludes that the modern world is moving in another epistemological paradigm where a new scientific revolution is inevitable.
Biophysical approach to modeling reflection: basis, methods, results
Authors: Bartsev S. I. , Markova G. M. , Matveeva A. I.
Published: December 2023

The approach used by physics is based on the identification and study of ideal objects, which is also the basis of biophysics, in combination with von Neumann heuristic modeling and functional fractionation according to R.Rosen is discussed as a tool for studying the properties of consciousness. The object of the study is a kind of line of analog systems: the human brain, the vertebrate brain, the invertebrate brain and artificial neural networks capable of reflection, which is a key property characteristic of consciousness. Reflection in the broad sense of the word, understood as an internal representation of the external world, is characteristic of a wide range of animals, and some of them (bumblebees, fish) even demonstrate reflection in the narrow sense of the word, understood as an inner self-representation. This complex behavior is realized by miniature brains of ~1 million neurons. The use of simple recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to obtain answers to general questions is illustrated. For example, it has been shown a small RNS is able to pass delayed matching to sample (DMTS) test, forming an individual dynamic representation of the received stimulus, allowing decoding by a special external neural detector. . It has been demonstrated in the reflexive game “even-odd”, the RNS has a huge advantage over a multi-layered neural network, with the same and a larger number of neurons – reflection defeats regression. It was found that the asymmetry of outcomes in the odd-even game, which was explained by various causes, including psychological ones – “it’s easier to catch up than to run away”, is reproduced in the game of two RNNs. Obviously, there are no psychological causes here and the advantage of the player playing for “even” is explained by the more complex strategy of the “odd” player – he needs to predict the opponent’s move and choose the opposite one.
What Relationships Do We Want with Technology? Toward Technoskepticism in Schools
Authors: Pleasants Jacob , Krutka Daniel G. , Nichols T. Philip
Published: December 2023

In this essay, Jacob Pleasants, Dani el G. Krutka, and T. Philip Nichols outline a vision for how technology education can and ought to occur through the core subject areas of science, social studies, and English language arts. In their argument for the development of a technoskeptical stance for thinking critically and making informed decisions about technology, they discuss past and current efforts to address both the teaching and use of technology within the subject areas and possibilities for a deeper and more coherent technology education. To support that goal, they present the Technoskepticism Iceberg as a conceptual framework to identify the technical, psycho social, and political dimensions of technology and highlight ways of thinking with greater depth about those dimensions.
Malignant anthrax in Russian Federation in 2023: two case reports
Authors: Nikiforov Vladimir V. , Sorokina Natalia A.
Published: December 2023

Malignant anthrax is a serious health and agricultural problem in Russia. Since 1900, 70,000 outbreaks of infection among people and animals have been reported in Russia. Adequate veterinary measures have led to a decrease in the level of morbidity in livestock, which is the main causative agent. Moreover, the incidence of human illness has decreased, which is greatly facilitated by routine immunization of the population exposed to occupational risk of infection. However, despite the measures taken, epizootics and epidemic foci of anthrax are registered annually. As a result, anthrax occur often among residents of these areas.
This study discusses the modern course of the cutaneous form of anthrax, which was analyzed during the treatment of patients from two foci of anthrax infection in the Voronezh region in August–October 2023. The novelty of this observation lies in the opportunity to present to readers the evolution of skin changes in the carbunculus variety of cutaneous anthrax from the early stages of ulcerative process development to almost complete recovery.
Uniformly Processed Fourier Spectra Amplitude Database for Recently Compiled New Zealand Strong Ground Motions
Authors: Manea Elena F. , Bora Sanjay S. , Hutchinson Jesse A. , Kaiser Anna E.
Published: December 2023

We present a ground-motion parameter database for earthquakes recorded between 2000 and the end of 2022 in New Zealand, which was developed within the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NZ NSHM 2022) program. It comprises all the local events with moment magnitudes in the range Mw 3.5–7.8 for crustal seismicity and Mw 4–7.8 for subduction seismicity recorded by GeoNet strong-motion network. Out of 2809 events, 1598 (∼57.1%) were classified as crustal, 432 as interface (∼15.3%), 98 as outer-rise (3.5%), 597 as inslab (∼21.3%), and the rest are undetermined. Beside the information that GeoNet provides for each event, the source metadata also comprises moment tensor solutions and finite-fault source models compiled from the literature. Various distance measures are computed for each event–station pair, including estimates of rupture distance for sufficiently large events by incorporating finite-fault source models. More than 150,000 strong ground-motion records, within 500 km rupture distance, were processed using an automated algorithm that combines traditional processing algorithms and machine learning. Several intensity measures (i.e., smoothed and down-sampled Fourier spectral amplitudes, Arias intensity, cumulative absolute velocity, and duration measures) of the processed ground motions are presented in the database. Finally, the database includes station site parameters sourced directly from the 2022 NSHM compilation of Wotherspoon et al. (2022, 2023).
Educational Inequality between Rural Children in China and Black Children in the U.S.
Authors: Ding Xiaoshu , Hou Yichen , Li Ziyan , Qi Fuqiong
Published: December 2023

Educational inequality is caused by regional economic differences, educational resource allocation differences, class differences, and other factors. The concept of equal rights in education is an extension of equal rights in education’s political and economic fields. It refers to an important element of democratization of education, in which people are not restricted by political economy, culture, ethnicity, faith, gender, and geography. In law, people have the same right to education and have the same access to education. Conversely, education inequality still exists, and people suffer from certain discrimination or unfair treatment in education. Despite the rapid economic development in the world in recent years and the obvious progress in education investment and development, inequality in education is still widespread. This paper briefly examines educational inequality in four areas: the differences in education and the pursuit of equality between blacks and whites in American education; the educational problems and social reproduction of children in rural China; the influence of black students in the pursuit of educational equality and the influence of assimilation education; and also gender inequality in the field of education in rural China. Based on the principle of pragmatism, this paper attempts to seek the real reasons and substance behind the phenomenon through the current educational inequality situation to discover the factors that lead to educational inequality.

Authors: Bilash Oleksandr , Karabin Tetyana , Cherevko Pavlo
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the determination, systematization, and study of the system of Ecclesiastical Law sources. This is a necessary and primary task for understanding the content of ecclesiastical law and its establishment in the legal system of Ukraine.

The conducted analysis has given grounds to make up conclusions concerning the formal inequality and the subordination of some sources to others.

The Constitution provisions contains norms and principles relating to human rights and freedoms, defining Ukraine as a secular state and determine the positive duties of the state in the field of religion. The laws if Ukraine contains the large number of ecclesiastical legal norms regulating various aspects of state-confessional relations. Bylaws specify and detail the provisions of laws. Judicial law-making in the field of ecclesiastical law is manifested through the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, which in Ukraine are considered the sources of law, through the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which revises laws for compliance with the constitution and fundamental values, as well as the decisions of the Supreme Court, the conclusions of which are binding not only for judicial bodies but also for all subjects of authority, which implement in their activities a legal act containing the relevant legal norm.
Language as an Object of Ethical Reflection. A Turn Towards the Attitude of Taking Responsibility for Words
Authors: Żurawlew Tomasz
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on the category of taking responsibility for words, which is explicated as both a component of the moral awareness of language users and a socially desirable attitude that promotes the building of a communication community. The above category was analysed in view of legal regulations and, most importantly, theoretical findings from the field of communication ethics. The author used the conceptual apparatus of this theory to determine the way in which responsibility for words can be formed in axiological education. It was defined by referring to the primacy of respect for the values such as human dignity, freedom and truth understood as the opposite of falsehood. The author concluded that the attitude of taking responsibility for words should be formed through the transmission of knowledge regarding these values, assuming that they can be “experienced” relative to examples of the negative use and abuse of language as opposed to its responsible use. Therefore, this article presents general criteria for the ethical evaluation of communication facts, indicating how they should be used for the purpose of forming the attitude that involves responding with will to the discussed values.

Кількість кіберзагроз у сфері ІКТ постійно збільшується, тому розробка нових засобів для забезпечення безпеки є дуже важливим і актуальним науковим завданням. Серед таких засобів варто відзначити SIEM системи, які спрямовані на аналіз подій та управління інцидентами з метою запобігання негативним наслідкам та зменшення шкоди від кіберзагроз для користувачів. У попередніх дослідженнях автори провели аналіз існуючих SIEM систем та типів баз даних для них, а також розробили нову архітектуру хмарної SIEM системи. Наступним кроком є дослідження Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). У статті було визначено роль ESB у концепції архітектури Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), визначені її функції та переваги. Також автори проаналізували найпопулярніші сучасні рішення ESB та надали рекомендації щодо впровадження розвиненої SIEM системи на об'єктах критичної інфраструктури. Розроблений ESB компонент для ефективного функціонування SIEM систем на об’єктах КІ забезпечить цілу низку переваг, такі як широкий спектр роз'ємів і масштабованість рішення, гнучка маршрутизація даних, гарантована доставка інформаційних повідомлень, організація захищеного каналу передачі, централізоване управління, можливість моніторингу та діагностики стану передачі, а також можливість інтеграції зі сторонніми чергами повідомлень. Крім того, у дослідженні було сформовано специфікацію для SIEM системи в критичній інфраструктурі.

Published: December 2023

Halal micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the economy, supporting the rapid development of the world's halal industry. The performance of halal MSMEs is influenced by knowledge management and financial literacy. Based on knowledge-based theory, which focuses on internal factors to explain business strategies, innovation capabilities and risk attitudes can mediate the influence of knowledge management and financial literacy on the performance of halal MSMEs. Data collected using quantitative proximity from a sample of 195 owners of halal MSMEs in Malang Raya, Indonesia, was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings showed that knowledge management and financial literacy affect the performance of MSMEs. The innovation ability and risk attitude of MSME owners mediate the effects of knowledge management and financial literacy on the performance of MSMEs. When knowledge is managed effectively, it creates unique capabilities that contribute to improved performance through innovation, realized through innovative products, and risk attitude, realized through optimized opportunities.

Published: December 2023

The study aims to investigate methods and tools for studying students’ learning efficiency in online learning conditions in specialties like “nursing” and “physical therapy and ergotherapy” during the pandemic. Data was collected from 412 students of universities in Ukraine and the Republic of Kazakhstan. A survey was carried out to assess such methods, tools, and moral values that inspired students innately and motivated them to study in an online learning environment, where students rated elements of Technology Adoption and Use of Effort Expectancy lower than other elements such as moral values as important in both specialties. The elements of Conformity and Tradition were also rated highly. Students also highly appreciated the importance of developing and improving the technical, structural, and regulatory elements of online learning, as well as fostering the value of a healthcare professional survey on elements to improve the effectiveness of training future healthcare professionals in an online format. This suggests that moral and professional values of education and an inner desire to be a high-level professional and quality communication between students and teachers promote quality education in conditions of limited access to clinical practice and online learning.
ADMINISTRATIVE-LEGAL STATUS AS A CATEGORY OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Authors: Mykolenko O. I. , Mykolenko O. M.
Published: December 2023

The article describes the administrative-legal status as a category of administrative law. It was established that the administrative-legal status is one of the most complex categories of administrative law, which is due to the following factors: 1) scientific sources are full of discus­sions about the elements that make up the content of the administrative-legal status; 2) lack of a differentiated approach to the characterization of the structural elements of the administrative-legal status, depending on which subject of administrative law is in question; 3) each part of administrative law (substantive, procedural and procedural) will provide its subjects with a specific legal status. On the basis of this, it was concluded that the administrative-legal status depending on the subject of administrative law and spheres of administrative-legal regulation can have different substantive and structural content. It has been proven that in order for the concept of “administrative-legal status” to become a category of administrative law, it must: 1) be interconnected and interdependent with other industry categories; 2) be in a relationship of coordination and subordination with other categories of administrative law; 3) to be a coherent and logical-systemic concept in terms of content, which would be used to explain any other administrative-legal phenomena and processes. It was concluded that the administrative-legal status of a person is, first of all, the state of a person, which reveals the specifics of his position in society (material legal status), the specifics of his participation in various administrative legal relations (procedural and procedural legal status). In this regard, each subject of admin­istrative law may have its own specific set of elements in the structure of administrative-legal status. It was found that the ECHR Commissioner has a specific set of elements in the structure of administrative and legal status, namely: goals, tasks, rights, powers and functions. It is ar­gued that most public administration bodies are characterized by the following standard set of elements in the structure of administrative and legal status: 1) goals and objectives; 2) subject of education; 3) authority; 4) functions as an optional element.

Published: December 2023

Aim: To investigate the effects of several sociodemographic conditions on adherence to spectacles treatment in adolescents.

Material and Methods: 10-19-year-old otherwise healthy adolescents who had been prescribed spectacles at least one year ago were included in this study. To quantitatively evaluate adherence to spectacles treatment, patients were asked to mark along a visual analog scale and the result was noted as an adherence score (AS). Sociodemographic conditions that have potential to affect adherence to spectacles treatment were questioned.

Results: This study includes 107 patients and the mean age of patients was 14.83 ± 2.75 years (10-19). The mean AS was 8.59 ± 2.21 (3-10) for mothers with a higher educational degree, and 6.85 ± 3.14 (0-10) for mothers with a lower educational degree (p =0.018). Similarly, the mean AS was 8.45 ± 2.40 (3-10) for fathers with a higher educational degree and 6.94 ± 3.08 (0-10) for fathers with a lower educational degree (p =0.033). According to logistic regression analysis, a higher educational degree in fathers was associated with 8 and more AS (odds ratio: 4.17, 95% confidence interval 1.14-15.25, and p =0.031). There was no significant difference in AS according to conditions regarding whether or not to use spectacles in a family and social environment (p >0.05, for all).

Conclusion: It was concluded that higher parental educational level is associated with higher adherence to spectacles treatment in adolescents.

Authors: Ratushnyak Daniel , Yajnik Vishal
Published: December 2023

BackgroundBacterial meningitis is a life-threatening disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can accompany bacterial meningitis in adult patients in <1% of cases and significantly worsens the patient’s prognosis.Case reportA 58-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of a 5-day history of progressive abdominal pain, when he suddenly developed “the worst headache of his life” and suffered a 4-minute seizure. Computed tomography head showed SAH. An emergent cerebral angiogram was negative for any bleeding source, and attention shifted to meningoencephalitis. Ultimately, the patient was found to have Group B Streptococcus (GBS) meningitis on cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this patient’s presentation of GBS meningitis, masked by a classic aneurysmal SAH presentation, represents a rare and acute presentation of an underlying disease complication. Increasing awareness of this presentation can support more rapid diagnosis, earlier treatment, and improved outcomes for affected patients.

Didactic game Radioactive City: application and analysis from the perspective of chemistry undergraduates
Abstract The didactic games provide more instigating classes, arouse the interest of students and motivate them to learn. Based on this idea, the research objective was to apply the didactic game Radioactive City, with undergraduate students in chemistry, to analyze whether they would have difficulty playing, whether the rules of the game were well designed and whether the knowledge would motivate them to learn. The qualitative, explanatory field research counted on the participation of seven undergraduate chemistry students from a public federal technological university. At the end of a course, they participated in a semi-structured interview. The results show that the difficulties encountered at the beginning of the game were because some players did not fully read the rules; those who had no difficulties formulated schemes, mental representations, made decisions, exchanged information and worked as a group. In relation to the rules of the game, the results indicated that it was a didactic resource of good applicability, with well-established rules, allowing the game to advance. The motivation category emerged as one of the main factors of the game, because everyone said that it awakened their curiosity to know and learn the knowledge present in the context of the game.
Liczman z zamku Ogrodzieniec. Próba interpretacji
Authors: Imiołczyk Ewelina
Published: December 2023

Wśród zabytków pozyskanych w trakcie badań zamku Ogrodzieniec w 1964 r., prowadzonych pod kierownictwem ówczesnego dr. Jerzego Szydłowskiego, odkryto liczne zabytki ruchome, w tym także numizmaty. Niewątpliwie w tej kategorii zabytków na uwagę zasługuje liczman z rachmistrzem, datowany na lata osiemdziesiąte i dziewięćdziesiąte XVI w. Typologicznie ów zabytek można określić jako Mitchiner 1430/1430a. Omawiany typ, znany jako Rechenmester-Typus lub Schulpfennig, posiada na awersie przedstawienie mężczyzny za stołem w trakcie wykonywania obliczeń. Na rewersie natomiast mamy litery alfabetu ułożone w pięciu liniach. Prezentowany zabytek pochodzi z pracowni trzech Hansów Schultesów, działających w latach 1553–1612 w Norymberdze. Liczman znajdujący się obecnie w zbiorach Muzeum Górnośląskiego w Bytomiu (nr inw.

Monety tego typu charakteryzują się bardzo bogatą symboliką i stanowią ciekawy przykład dalekosiężnych kontaktów handlowych.
Numizmaty i bulla ołowiana z Traktu Wolborskiego w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim
Authors: Ziętek Jacek
Published: December 2023

Piotrków Trybunalski to miasto bardzo zasłużone dla historii Polski: siedziba królów, miejsce sejmów i trybunałów koronnych. Pierwsze udokumentowane odkrycia archeologiczne pochodzą z drugiej połowy XIX w., a większe badania archeologiczne prowadzone były od lat sześćdziesiątych XX w. Podczas nadzorów archeologicznych wykonywanych w 2014 r. przy ulicy Starowarszawskiej na Trakcie Wolborskim dokonano interesujących odkryć. Spod mostu na rzece Strawie wydobyto prawie 200 monet (od XV do XX w.) oraz znaleziono bullę – pozłacaną pieczęć ołowianą z herbem Tudorów. Wśród monet dominowały numizmaty królów Polskich (od Władysława Warneńczyka do Stanisława Augusta Poniatowskiego). Odkryty zbiór monet jest największym zespołem pozyskanym w trakcie prac archeologicznych na terenie miasta. W przypadku pieczęci z herbem Tudorów można przypuszczać, że z uwagi na zdobienie i specjalne wykonanie w pozłacanym ołowiu, nie była to plomba towarowa. Mogła za to stanowić zabezpieczenie specjalnego daru przekazanego przez dwór angielski Henryka VIII dla króla Polski Zygmunta I.

Miejsce, na którym zlokalizowane jest stanowisko, od dłuższego czasu ulegało zniszczeniu na skutek niekontrolowanego wybierania piasku na potrzeby okolicznych mieszkańców. W 2020 r. natrafiono na pozostałości grobu ludności kultury pomorskiej. Celem prac terenowych było określenie stopnia zniszczenia cmentarzyska oraz uchwycenie jego zasięgu. W takcie sondażowych badań archeologicznych przeprowadzonych na stanowisku zarejestrowano m.in. jeden pochówek kultury przeworskiej. Przeprowadzono także badania za pomocą wykrywacza metali, jednak nie pozyskano zabytków, które można byłoby wiązać ze wspomnianą kulturą.
Zarys prezentowanego obiektu nie był wyraźnie czytelny na tle piaszczystego calca. W momencie odkrycia naczynie nie było zachowane w całości, a zapinka znajdowała się między fragmentami ceramiki. Silnie skorodowana fibula prawdopodobnie była pierwotnie umieszczona wewnątrz kubka pełniącego rolę pojemnika na przepalone szczątki. Zarówno naczynie, ze względu na cechy mikromorfologiczne – pogrubiony brzeg bez facetowania oraz wałeczkowate ucho, jak żelazna zapinka nawiązująca do typu B według Kostrzewskiego i grupy 18 według Gebharda, datowane są na fazę A2 młodszego okresu przedrzymskiego.
Zaprezentowany grób może być jedyną pozostałością przestrzeni grzebalnej ludności kultury przeworskiej lub jednostkowym pochówkiem dziecka zlokalizowanym poza cmentarzyskiem lub na jego obrzeżach. W sąsiedztwie nekropolii znajdować się musiała osada, która charakteryzowała się dogodnym położeniem na tle sieci hydrograficznej.
Bezpowrotnie utracone i zniszczone materiały kultury przeworskiej mogły się przyczynić do lepszego poznania osadnictwa przeworskiego w tym rejonie, zwłaszcza w okresie młodszoprzedrzymskim, z którego źródła są słabiej reprezentowane niż te z pierwszych wieków naszej ery.

Authors: Rosińska-Bukowska Magdalena , Bukowski Józef
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest analiza lobbingu w kontekście geograficznego zróżnicowania regulacji dotyczących tego rodzaju działalności. Dodatkowo podjęto próbę wskazania miejsca polskich regulacji w tym systemie oraz oceny realizowanych praktyk lobbingowych na tle międzynarodowym. Istotą przeprowadzonego badania jest zwrócenie uwagi na przestrzenne zróżnicowanie lobbingu, w tym społeczny odbiór tego typu działalności – swoistą geografię lobbingu i kierunki dokonujących się w tym zakresie zmian. Badane zagadnienia mają charakter interdyscyplinarny i dotyczą szeroko pojętych nauk społecznych, w tym: ekonomii międzynarodowej, ale i geografii społecznej, teorii lokalizacji, socjologiczno-kulturowych aspektów funkcjonowania państw i działających na ich terenie podmiotów, kwestii etycznych etc. Opracowanie składa się z trzech części. W pierwszej przedstawiono istotę lobbingu we współczesnym świecie – strategie i metody oddziaływania na sferę legislacji. W drugiej zaakcentowano różnice między dwoma podstawowymi modelami realizacji i oceny działań lobbingowych – amerykańskim i europejskim. Następnie przedstawiono podstawowe zasady monitorowania lobbingu o charakterze uniwersalnym oraz konsekwencje regionalnego zróżnicowania postrzegania lobbingu dla metod prowadzenia monitoringu tej działalności w poszczególnych państwach. Polski model lobbingu omówiono w ostatniej części artykułu – zaprezentowano go przez pryzmat realizacji lobbingu w polskim parlamencie.

Background: In recent years, the role of novel foods in public health has rapidly grown due to increased life expectancy, rising medication costs and consumers’ focus on obtaining health benefits. Methods: This study evaluates the acid production, microbial growth, physicochemical and textural properties of common bean-fortified yogurt (CBWFY) during 28 days of cold storage. Result: All varieties of CBWFY showed higher acidity and lower pH value, resulting in a higher microbial population after production and during 28-day storage. The color values “a” and “L” did not vary significantly in all samples and remained steady after 28 days, while the “b” value increased. The highest syneresis (14.86%) was found in white bean whey, while the lowest syneresis (1.81%) was observed in kidney bean whey. In terms of texture, the cohesiveness of CBWFY and the control sample decreased, while the hardness, springiness and gumminess improved during cold storage. Remarkably, cranberry bean whey had higher values (cohesiveness, springiness and gumminess) despite the hardness found in white bean whey.
TAWHID AND THE CRITICISM OF MODERN HUMANISM: Reflection on Alî Sharî’atî’s Thought
Authors: Taufik Zulfan , Taufik Muhammad
Published: December 2023

Modern humanism's promise of elevating human status through anthropocentrism affects the humanitarian crisis. In this context, Islam, as a God-centered (theocentric) religion, faces a significant challenge in demonstrating that it has adequate human dimensions and a fundamental role for humans today. The purpose of this article is to look at Alî Sharî’atî’s tawhidic worldview and his critique of modern humanism. This study is based on a qualitative literature review using a descriptive-analytic method on Alî Sharî’atî’s primary works. This study shows that tawhid is the core teaching of Islam, which is the basis for responding to humanitarian crises. In the monotheistic worldview, humans only fear one authority and only feel responsible to one judge. On that basis, monotheism bestows freedom and nobility in humans. From this view, Sharî’atî sees that the absence of God (metaphysical) on philosophical grounds has given rise to inevitable contradictions in modern humanism, both Western liberalism, marxism, and existentialism.
La existencia del mundo
Authors: Barbaras Renaud
Published: December 2023

El artículo no se hace la pregunta de si el mundo existe, sino que cuestiona el sentido del ser del mundo desde Husserl y explora, desde el pensamiento de Patočka, y a diferencia de Husserl, la posibilidad de una donación no ideal del mundo que permita poner en cuestión el enfoque neorrealista de la existencia de éste. Se trata de denunciar el conflicto que opera en el Husserl de las Ideen 1, entre la fenomenología de la percepción y la fenomenología de la razón, y de hacer valer la posibilidad de una dimensión caótica del mundo, irreductible a un puro cosmos. En realidad, la crítica de este conflicto, que procede de la concepción intuicionista de la evidencia, abre el camino a la alternativa de una donación no intuitiva del mundo. Esta tesis inspirada en la concepción merleau-pontyana de lo infinito permite criticar la perspectiva realista y hacer valer la novedosa propuesta de un archi-realismo del mundo.

There are many definition of chromatography and separation of micro impurities is very personal research mind and these impurity get enter medical product. Zero residual solvent emission by the estimation of OVIs researcher never though they needed to do. Micro peaks resolution it is a sign of pooling of organic volatile impurities in formulation. This technique, depending on the nature of the compounds, gas chromatography is very efficiently found in organic volatile impurities. A pharmaceutical impurity has many routes to get merge into pharmaceutical products. It is approved by International Pharmacopoeia up to some level limit; it has recommendate to health concern for human use. They don't harm human being. A pharmaceutical impurity is unplanned synthesis of chemical entity, which has not listed chemical drug products; these are not accepted by IUPAC and other regulatory body. If it is shows in synthesis so it can be eliminated separately, identified cause by method development and solutions. So it will not get harm to anyone. There are multiple methods of segregation of impurity, organic volatile impurity can be absorb by gas chromatography method, it is under controlled to do safe and desired product as per pharmaceutical transcription. It can be leaching and forms various stages of synthesis as well as production steps. It can be eliminated before impurity proliferation goes up high in medicinal product. It has many subtitled types of impurity that can be check and eliminated through advance analytical technique. It is developed by through the understanding of environmental monitoring and defense purpose, so it is easy to remove air bubble in column and pump and get sharp linear and enough nonlinear resolution. Nonlinear peaks can extend to broad shape and it will be merging into linear peaks by the solutions selection criteria and it has a novelty of work. Also reduce the multiple using solutions and avoidance of hazardous solvent system means column don't get trouble shoot in other methods this is known other advantages of methods development for OVIs. This estimation is not unusual, when product looking around the bend educational analysis of product is important.
Use of Animal Venom Peptides/Toxins in Cancer Therapeutics
Authors: Upadhya Ravi Kant
Published: December 2023

Animal venoms possess variety of toxins/proteins/peptides which act as ionic channel inhibitors and target vital physiological processes. Toxin peptides isolated from honey bee, wasp and scorpion show membrane binding, growth inhibition and strong cytolytic properties. These also inhibit angiogenesis and induce caspase-dependent apoptosis in melanoma cells through the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway protecting the experimental animals against tumor development. These toxin peptides exert cytotoxic effects on human oral cancer cells by inducting apoptosis via a p53-dependent intrinsic apoptotic pathway. These can be used as cancer therapeutic agents by loading them in liposomes. This lead to increase in their target specificity against cancer cells, shorten cell survival, and produce higher reactive oxygen species (ROS), and does enhancement in the number of apoptotic cells. In addition, toxins enhance G0/G1 enrichment upon treatment of cancer cells. Further, encapsulated honey bee, wasp and scorpion venoms exert much potent anti-cancer effect on many cancer cells lines. Upon slight chemical modifications animal toxins could gear up higher selectivity, show much improved target specificity and lesser toxic effects because of charge optimization. After their improvement they show superiority over the conventional chemical drugs as an increase in net charge of the peptide, its hydrophobicity and anionicity and fluidity of the target cell membranes. It primarily imparts effect through biophysical interaction with the target cell membrane. Toxin peptides are best candidate as they selectively target malignant gliomas and play significant role in GBM immunotherapy. Venom toxins/peptides are good natural sources of compounds/molecules which could act as prototype or template which can be used for development of new therapeutic agents and best tools for diagnosis of not only for cancer but also for other diseases.
