Published: March 2023

This work aimed to study the competitive ability between Paspalum virgatum L. and Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça in different soil fertilities. Three independent experiments were set up in a completely randomized design, with four replications. Each experiment corresponded to different levels of soil fertility (low, medium and high) and were arranged in a substitutive series in the proportions of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100% of Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça with Paspalum virgatum L. The height, number of tillers and the dry matter mass of the plants were determined 60 days after the emergence of the species. Data were analyzed using the graphical analysis method, constructing diagrams based on productivity or relative and total variations, determining the competitiveness indices (CR), grouping coefficient (K) and relative aggressiveness (A). For the three fertility levels of the soils studied, the crop was superior to the competitor in terms of height, tillering and dry matter accumulation in the proportions of equivalent population densities (50:50), proving greater competitive ability through relative competitiveness values greater than 1 and crop aggressiveness greater than 0.

Published: March 2023

Paspalum virgatum L. is a grass weed common in pasture and has difficult control, mainly due to its similarity to forage, is found in areas of degraded pastures in the state of Mato Grosso. The objective of this work was to evaluate seed germination and seedling emergence of razor-blade grass (P. virgatum L.) when exposed to different sowing depths. Two independent experiments were carried out, one using straw from Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu (Experiment I) and another from Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa (Experiment II). The treatments for both experiments were organized in a 7x2 factorial scheme, considering seven depth levels (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 cm). The bottom of the pots was sealed with filter paper and gauze. The emergence of seedlings was recorded daily until 28 days after sowing. The data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance. For experiment I, there was a significant effect on the soil cover factor in relation to %E and IVE, where the use of straw was more efficient. For experiment II, there was no effect of the soil cover factor in relation to %E and IVE. The greater the depth, the lower the emergence of razor-blade grass seedlings.
Evaluating the effectiveness of a broader approach to reading instruction: A single-case study of a reading intervention
Authors: Dunford Saya , Hill Vivian
Published: March 2023

Aims

This small-scale study investigated outcomes from a reading intervention which taught a broader range of reading skills. The intervention followed recommendations made by Solity (2020), with instruction on high frequency words (HFWs), grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs), and vocabulary, taught through frequent, distributed practise of skills and real books.

Method

Five students in Year Five (all with English as an Additional Language and low levels of literacy skills) from an inner London Borough primary school took part in a reading intervention delivered daily over 3 months (45 sessions). A mixed methods single-case study design was implemented. Students were assessed pre- and post-intervention using interviews, Diagnostic Reading Assessment, questionnaires on students’ reading views and confidence, and fluency reading the 100 HFWs and GPCs. Questionnaire and interview feedback were gained from education staff. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Themes and quotes from qualitative data provided an understanding of the students’ and staffs’ views.

Findings

Results indicated increases in students’ knowledge of HFWs and GPCs, and students showed improvements in reading ability in at least one skill assessed. Most students felt they were better and more confident at reading, although views towards reading were mixed.

Limitations

The small sample size and lack of control group mean that results may be difficult to generalise to other school populations.

Conclusions

This research goes some way to demonstrating the efficacy of a reading intervention approach which focuses on teaching a broader range of skills compared to a sole focus on systematic synthetic phonics.
MARTIN LISTER’S 1678 AMMONIS CORNU AND THE MISREADING OF HILDOCERAS BIFRONS (BRUGUIÈRE, 1789). AN HISTORICAL INSIGHT ON THE RELEVANCE OF ARTWORK AND DETAILS IN TAXONOMY
Authors: RIDENTE DOMENICO
Published: March 2023

Hildoceras bifrons (Bruguière, 1789) is a cosmopolite ammonite species from the Lower Jurassic of the Boreal and Mediterranean (Tethys) palaeogeographical provinces. Inter-demic and phylogenetic variability are noticeable, also affecting the most distinctive morphological trait: the spiral groove along the whorl flank. Since the XIX century, however, a number of morphotypes assigned to Hildoceras bifrons (many of which from the Apennines and other Italian localities) lacked a neat spiral groove, replaced by a shallow, variably evident and discontinuous inflection. Buckman (1918) provided a photographic illustration of a specimen he interpreted as corresponding to the holotype, until then represented by a drawing described by Lister (1678) as Ammonis cornu. Buckman’s illustration assessed the well-carved spiral groove as a distinctive feature of the holotype and a trademark of the species. Nevertheless, several authors insisted on referring faintly grooved specimens to Hildoceras bifrons, an attitude thus envisaged as due to their negligence or inaccuracy. In contrast with this view, it is herein argued that, on one hand, the specimen illustrated by Buckman, in quality of holotype or neotype, differs from Lister’s drawing to a point that it may not be the same specimen; on the other hand, Lister’s drawing (never formally invalidated as holotype) could have been legitimately considered representative also of those faintly grooved Hildoceras now assigned to Hildoceras lusitanicum Meister, 1913. This alternative view clarifies the taxonomic approach held by many authors, proving the coherency of their taxonomic work rather than their attitude at a superficial evaluation of diagnostic traits.

Da insensatez à responsabilidade: reflexões a partir da parábola de Lc 12,13-21
Authors: Pavão dos Anjos Osni
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a parábola do rico insensato de Lc 12,13-21, apresentando o contexto, a estrutura do gênero textual, a semântica e os seus desdobramentos. Na busca pela atualização do seu conteúdo foram apresentadas reflexões críticas acerca da sociedade de consumo, assim como a tendência do homem moderno em acumular. Fazer laço exclusivamente com os bens materiais proporciona mais produção de objetos, mais demanda de consumo e, consequentemente, mais material descartável, colocando em risco toda a vida do planeta. A resposta de Jesus na parábola é um convite à responsabilidade, partindo da conversão pessoal, renunciando ao individualismo e abrindo-se para a experiência do cuidado e do encontro fraterno, formando laços sociais com o outro e com o meio em que vive.
Culto e Religião na perspectiva de Jó e Qohélet
Authors: Pimentel Baquer Vinicius
Published: March 2023

O presente trabalho visa apresentar a perspectiva dos livros de Jó e Qohélet a respeito do culto e religião. Tanto Jó, quanto Qohélet, fazem parte da chamada “literatura sapiencial bíblica”. Entretanto, os referidos livros distam grandemente em diversos aspectos aos demais escritos sapienciais bíblicos. Seu aparecimento se dá no contexto da crise da sabedoria tradicional, assentada em demasia sobre os dogmas da teologia da retribuição. Jó é um grito do justo e inocente que sofre, enquanto os injustos prosperam. Sua obra não é uma resposta para o sofrimento do justo. Não há uma teologia de justificação ou de retribuição posterior. Antes, dotado de um realismo profundo, Jó objetiva-se ser o lamento do justo que sofre, porém confia em Deus até o fim. Qohélet, por sua vez, questiona-se sobre a “vanidade” da vida, sua fugacidade e a impossibilidade do ser humano de, verdadeiramente, poder possuir algo a que tenha direito a retribuição. Em relação ao culto e a religião, tanto Jó, quanto Qohélet, revelam-se defensores da possibilidade do culto absolutamente gratuito, sem a menor perspectiva de que Deus irá se constranger a agir em favor do suplicante. Culto e Religião são, nas obras em questão, expressão do louvor sincero e desinteressado, que não tenciona obter de Deus a solução para os problemas do tempo presente.
Evaluation of Explanation Methods of AI - CNNs in Image Classification Tasks with Reference-based and No-reference Metrics
Authors: Zhukov Alexey , Benois-Pineau Jenny , Giot Romain
Published: March 2023

The most popular methods in AI-machine learning paradigm are mainly black boxes. This is why explanation of AI decisions is of emergency. Although dedicated explanation tools have been massively developed, the evaluation of their quality remains an open research question. In this paper, we generalize the methodologies of evaluation of post-hoc explainers of CNNs’ decisions in visual classification tasks with reference and no-reference based metrics. We apply them on our previously developed explainers (FEM1 , MLFEM), and popular Grad-CAM. The reference-based metrics are Pearson correlation coefficient and Similarity computed between the explanation map and its ground truth represented by a Gaze Fixation Density Map obtained with a psycho-visual experiment. As a no-reference metric, we use stability metric, proposed by Alvarez-Melis and Jaakkola. We study its behaviour, consensus with reference-based metrics and show that in case of several kinds of degradation on input images, this metric is in agreement with reference-based ones. Therefore, it can be used for evaluation of the quality of explainers when the ground truth is not available.
Parametric PDF for Goodness of Fit
Authors: Katz Natan , Utai Uri
Published: March 2023

The methods for the goodness of fit in classification problems require a prior threshold for determining the confusion matrix. Nonetheless, this fixed threshold removes information that the model’s curves present and may be beneficial for further studies such as risk evaluation and stability analysis. We present a different framework that allows us to perform this study using a parametric PDF.

Authors: Gallinari Franzo Giovanna , Carolino Miranda Nayara , Piante Chotolli Wesley
Published: March 2023

No ambiente escolar, observa-se constantemente eventos que possibilitam debates sobre como as questões de gênero e sexualidade são vivenciadas nas instituições escolares. Assim, verificou-se a necessidade de compreender a maneira tal qual uma gestora escolar vivencia e atua nestes espaços. Por meio de pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa com o uso de entrevista semiestruturada e análise de discurso, pretendeu-se analisar como uma gestora de escola pública de um município do interior paulista interpreta as questões de gênero e sexualidade em sua trajetória profissional. É possível concluir que o espaço escolar é marcado por ações hostis tensionadas por questões sociais, mesmo que se tenha uma aparente preocupação com os cenários de integração para os sujeitos frequentadores da educação. Em consonância, a demanda por cursos de formação é identificada, principalmente a partir da preocupação com as terminologias sobre as áreas aqui referenciadas.

EFL Students' Reactions to Peer versus Teacher Feedback to Improve Writing Skills: A Study at Intermediate School Level
Authors: Almutairi Raghad T
Published: March 2023

Feedback is crucial for assisting EFL writers since writing in English is challenging for them. Although numerous research studies have been done on the usefulness of peer and teacher feedback in EFL writing, studies that show the differences between the effectiveness of teacher's feedback versus peer's feedback and the student's reactions to mixing feedback are generally rare. This study was thus conducted on the peer and teacher feedback and both feedback model in three writing paragraphs for twenty students at an intermediate school in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia, where English is taught as a foreign language. To identify the students' reactions in the pre-post application of the questionnaire and the pre-post test design for one group of students, the study used a semi-experimental approach. The findings indicated no significant differences at a significance level of less than 0.05 between the mean scores of the peers and the teacher feedback. The experiment had success in terms of students’ positive attitudes towards mixing feedback models, the usefulness of peer comments, high percentages of feedback incorporations, and high overall writing scores. Therefore, based on the study results, the researcher confirms the usefulness of mixed feedback and recommends using it to improve student's' English writing skills.

Authors: Bandyopadhyay Prithwish , Mahmud Syed Shayeb , Bhattacharyya Anirban , Ghosh Ritu , Das Monojit
Published: March 2023

Context/Background: The future of Corona virus disease is still uncertain due to viral mutations. Immunization against COVID-19 has not yet been introduced for children aged 6-11 years. Parents are instrumental for the success of any immunization programme, being the chief decision makers for their wards. The study aims to assess the perceptions of parents regarding COVID 19 vaccination among children aged 6-11 years in an urban slum of Murshidabad and identify the factors influencing such perceptions among them.
Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted among 106 parents in a slum area of Murshidabad, West Bengal. Participants were interviewed using a validated WHO Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS). Bivariate and multivariable analysis were done using Chi square test and binary logistic regression respectively.
Results: Majority of the study subjects instead of parents were unlikely to vaccinate their children against COVID-19. The major concern centered around the safety (73.5%) of the vaccine. Higher level of education (p=0.003), previous history of COVID-19 infection in the family (p=0.004) and having a children aged between 6-8 years (p=0.006), influenced such perceptions, with the latter being the single most important predictor (AOR 4.126, P=0.007).
Conclusions: The likelihood of parents to vaccinate their child was found to be low. This underscores the importance of an effective communication strategy when such programme will be rolled out.

Assessment of Some Heavy Metals in Cereal Samples from Bayo and Hawul Local Government Areas, Borno State, Nigeria
Authors: IB Lawan
Published: March 2023

Bayo and Hawul local government areas are known for large production of cereal for consumption and commercial purposes, and uses tones of agrochemicals to increase yield. Long-term use of agrochemicals result in accumulation of heavy metals in soil and subsequent absorption by plant, hence the need to asses level of heavy metals in the cereal samples (sorghum and maize). Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AA-6800 SHIMADZO) was used to determine concentration of heavy metals in cereal samples collected from agricultural locations in Bayo and Hawul local government areas. When compared with joint safety limit of WHO/FAO, the levels of heavy metals in cereal samples were higher in most of the agricultural locations. The average daily dose (ADD) of the heavy metals computed for cereal samples were above the tolerable daily intake. The levels of heavy metals exposure due to consumption of cereals were above the acceptable risk levels (ILCR > 10-4 ), suggesting an individual developing cancer over a lifetime is of high probability. There is potential health risk for humans through the consumption of the studied cereal as revealed by high values of hazard quotient (HQ). Moreover, hazard indices (HI) of all the metals due combined non-cancer effects in the study were greater than one (1), suggesting potential health risk. As, Cd and Pb show consistency through consumption of the studied cereal samples and should be given priority to public health concern because of health risk associated with these heavy metals

Authors: N Mohammed
Published: March 2023

This study was aimed at detecting the level of SARS-CoV-2 antibody response among the staff of Federal University Gusau, Zamfara State. A cross-sectional study design and clusteredstratified-random sampling strategy were used to sample staff of the University comprising academic, technical and non-academic staff. SARS CoV-2 antigen Rapid Tests were carried out using on the spot analysis of nasopharyngeal and blood samples of the participants using SARS-CoV-2 antigen RDT kits and total antibody ELISA kit. None of the samples collected was positive to the antigen RDT kit, however further confirmation with ELISA kit revealed a prevalence of 32.8%. This study showed that academic staffs are more exposed to SARS-CoV-2 viruses due to high incidence of antibodies detected among the academics; however, the difference in the prevalence between academic and non-academic staff was not statistically significant. Knowledge of SARS-CoV-2, belief, behaviour towards COVID19 protocols, contact history and flu-like symptoms were risk factors that predispose one to SARS-CoV-2 viruses.
Demineralization and Characterization of Coal Deposit Found in Maiganga, Akko Local Government, Gombe State, Nigeria
Authors: Silas Kiman
Published: March 2023

The characterization of coal provides valuable information on its composition, environmental effects, and applications. This study investigates the leachate elemental composition, physicochemical properties, morphology, mineralogy, functional groups, and thermal behaviour of the demineralised and demineralized coal deposits in Maiganga, Gombe State. Three modes of coal demineralization including mixed acid-alkali, acid, and alkali demineralization were tested. The quantified carbon indicates the hierarchy of leachates in order; HCl+ NaOH Washed > NaOH Washed> HCl Washed (70.38%>64.42%>60.39%). The microstructure images showed crystallites on the coal matrix indicating the presence of mineral phases found abundant in the demineralised sample compared to the demineralized coal. Also, the compositions of demineralised coal appeared in oxide form while that of demineralized coal is elemental because the chemical treatment effects during demineralization dissolute the oxides. The FTIR spectra demonstrate different aliphatic –CH bonds in both samples indicating the Maiganga coal as sub-bituminous coal with high carbon content. The phases in the demineralised coal sample are SiO2, PbCO3, CaO, and Mg2Al2SiO5(OH)4 and for the demineralized sample, the phases are Ca4I8 O24, SiO2 and PbCO3. For efficient high-energy recovery the temperature of >848.2 oC is required as demonstrated by the two samples in thermal analysis, the Temperature Profile Characteristics (TPC) for the samples differ. Furthermore, the comprehensive combustion characteristics parameters indicated a higher and better combustion performance by the demineralized coal (2.4 x10-7 min-2 C-3) compared to the undemineralized coal (1.0 x10-9 min-2 C-3) sample. This finding demonstrated that mining the Maiganga coalfield may not pose threats to humans and the environment, and the coal is suitable for electricity generation.
THE MOTIVATION COMPONENT OF LEGAL PROTECTION OF SOCIAL MORALS IN THE ACTIVITIES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT BODIES OF UKRAINE: CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY
Authors: Ruvin Sergiy
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and legal discourse of the modern definition of the motivational component of the legal protection of public morality in the activity of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. As a result of the conducted analysis, it is necessary to state that motivational orientation should be interpreted as a category of philosophical praxeology, which is most closely related to the concept of determination, and therefore, taking into account that motivation is an element and axiological, it is appropriate to emphasize the importance of confidence and conviction of a person in the correctness and reasonableness their own aspirations. This is possible provided there is a clear regulatory basis, especially when it comes to protocol and such responsible work as law enforcement. The article establishes that the motivation of a law enforcement officer closely interacts with legal deontology, which, by its very nature, determines the basic moral and social principles of interpersonal relations, which motivate in what way a law enforcement officer should understand his professional purpose, how exactly to interpret his mission, and, at most, to realize why the law enforcement profession exists at all. It was established that when investigating the motivational determination of the legal protection of public morality within law enforcement agencies, it is advisable to, first of all, talk about the implementation of the function of legal protection as a professional duty of representatives of law enforcement agencies, which follows from legal norms. It has been established that the problem of the relationship between public morality and the axiology of law enforcement activity is not only a complex topical question and a complex cognitive process, but, in fact, a new epistemological mechanism of scientific immersion in the ideological social foundations of the era of law enforcement system reforms, the era of revolutionary changes and, unfortunately, military realities of modern Ukraine. It is suggested that the motivational determination of the protection of public morality by law enforcement agencies, or their moral self-regulation, should be interpreted as a very comprehensive process, characterized by external and internal determinants, conditioned by the object of legal protection itself and dependent on the specifics of a specific law enforcement agency and its structural unit.
The Real and the Human Imbricated… Žižek and Zubiri vs. Miller
Authors: Espinoza Lolas Ricardo
Published: March 2023

This article reflects on how the issue of the Real allows us to rethink the human of today in a more complete and up-to-date way. And for this purpose, two apparently dissimilar perspectives of understanding the Real are discussed: that of the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, which is rooted in Lacan’s psychoanalysis, and that of the Spanish philosopher Xavier Zubiri, which is born from a deep critical dialogue with Heidegger’s ontology. This paper will show the unity of two visions of the Real that lie at the heart of what is human and that allow us to criticize certain very influential psychoanalytic thought, centred on Jacques-Alain Miller, which cannot account for what is happening to us radically in the current era, or, perhaps, in any era.

Evaluation of olfactory threshold changes in patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion
Authors: Yıldırım Mücahid , Erdur Emire Aybüke , Erdur Ömer , Metli Şule Nur
Published: March 2023

Aim: Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) provides an orthopedic effect that solves the problem of transverse deficiency of the maxilla. Moreover, it contributes positively to the functioning of the entire nasopharynx by increasing the cross-sectional area and volume of the nasal tract, thus reducing airway resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in olfactory threshold after RME treatment of patients with maxillary transverse deficiency.
Methodology: Olfactory threshold and identification tests as well as acoustic rhinometry parameter (Volume1, MCA1, Volume2, MCA2) measurements were conducted for 40 patients (11–16 years) before treatment (T0) and 6 months after (T1) rapid maxillary expansion application.
Results: A significant improvement was observed when the olfactory threshold values at T0 (0.96 ± 0.07) and T1 (0.79 ± 0.13) (p < 0.001) were compared. A significant improvement was also observed upon comparing the identification test results at T0 (0.63 ± 0.13) and T1 (0.79 ± 0.11) (p < 0.001). The acoustic rhinometry results showed a significant increase in Volume 1, MCA1, Volume 2 and MCA2 in the right and left nasal cavities after treatment (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: In this study, acoustic rhinometry showed that nasal cavity area and volume increased in patients who underwent rapid maxillary expansion therapy. Further, the olfactory functions measured by the olfactory threshold test and identification test improved significantly.

ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF THE STATE AUDIT OF BUDGET INVESTMENTS
Authors: Ismailova Assel , Sembiyeva Lyazzat , Burtebaeva Aruzhan
Published: March 2023

The realities of today require prompt actions from governments within the framework of their state policies. Close attention is paid to the effective management of public funds, respectively, socioeconomic development, the growth of real incomes of the population, the increase in its standard of living and, in general, the question of human-centricity.
Budget investments have a special role as an instrument of economic development. However, the question is in the effective use of this tool. The simple reasons for not achieving socioeconomic goals are deviations from the time of project implementation and, accordingly, cost overruns. Researchers and practitioners name various reasons for time deviations that lead to a greater deviation in costs, i.e. the presence of time overruns in government projects increases the likelihood of cost overruns.

Authors: BEERALADINNI DEVENDRA , PATIL B L
Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out in Karnataka state to assess the relative agricultural sustainability status ofKarnataka during the year 2021–22 using Sustainable Livelihood Security Index (SLSI). Three indicators, viz.Ecological Security, Economic Efficiency and Social Equity Index were used. The results of the study show that inKarnataka better conditions for sustainable agriculture exist in majority of the Southern districts. However, few Northern districts, viz. Belagavi, Raichur, Bagalkote and Ballari have better level of ecological security and some Southern districts Bengaluru (U), Bengaluru (R), Chikkaballapur, Kolar and Ramanagara have low level of ecological security. In economic efficiency and social equity indicator also, majority of the Northern districts lagged behind compared to southern districts while Belagavi and Kalburgi districts have shown better performance compared to rest of the districts in the state. Adoption of sustainable agricultural practices such as judicial use of fertilizers and plant protection chemicals, efficient water use techniques (drip and sprinkler irrigation), use of organic manures and diversification of farm activities would help in sustainable agricultural development. To achieve ecological sustainability, steps need to be taken to enhance forest cover through afforestation especially in the districts which have poor ecological security. Further, there is a need to enhance the crop yield, encourage dairy farming and improve work force participation through training and skill development in the districts with poor economic efficiency.

An experiment was conducted during 2017–18 in the aeroponic unit of ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute inShimla, Himachal Pradesh, to evaluate 3 potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar’s, viz. Kufri Mohan, Kufri Lauvkarand Kufri Himalini growth and production behaviour under 2 different planting periods spaced 10 days apart duringthe autumnal season. The yield per plant and the total number of mini-tubers were shown to be strongly impactedby the planting season as well as the cultivar, according to the findings. The average number of tubers harvested was 32.7/plant in early (10th September) planting as against 21.2 mini-tubers/plant in late (20th September). Similarly, yield per plant was significantly higher (67.67 g/plant) with early planting than with late planting (35.99 g/plant). The production behaviour of the potato varieties under consideration varied significantly. The maximum yield/plant and mini-tuber numbers were recorded in Kufri Lauvkar (34.17 and 73.12 g/plant, respectively), which were significantly higher than the remaining 2 cultivars, which were statistically at par for both the number of yield/plant and minitubers. A delay in the planting of 10 days under aeroponics results in a significant reduction not only in the vigour of plants but subsequently in the number as well as weight of mini-tubers harvested. Thus, for attaining higher rates of multiplication under aeroponics during the autumn season, planting should not be delayed beyond 10th September in a hilly temperate wet zone.
Companhia Teatro Moderno de Lisboa (TML): engagement, resistance and cultural creation in the 1960s
Authors: Paranhos Kátia Rodrigues
Published: March 2023

Social theatre and politically engaged theatre are two designations that gained acceptance amid a lively debate that went on throughout the late 19th century and consolidated in the 20th century. Its turning point lay in the structure of the relations between theatre and politics or even between theatre and propaganda. This text addresses what resistance and political-cultural protest meant to Grupo Teatro Moderno de Lisboa (TML), from Lisbon/Portugal, in the 1960s, based on the interviews and discourses about their collective creation processes, theoretical research, and social intervention. According to many interpreters, the Group broke with the theater establishment of 1960 and came out as one generation's great movement. It only lasted for 4 years, from 1961 to 1965. During this time, TML staged theatrical texts by Carlos Muniz, Dostoyevsky, Miguel Mihura, John Steinbeck, Luiz Francisco Rebello, William Shakespeare, and José Carlos Pires. These artists made up and remade different universes according to their purposes and wishes. By reading the above authors' texts in the 1960s, these Portuguese artists gave new meanings to the present and to the past itself – recalling here Brecht's "past and present in one". The political and aesthetic issues in the plays were updated through debates between the theater group and the audience —quite a difficult task in a period when a political-cultural protest against the "Estado Novo" dictatorship was increasingly strong and constant, and in which official censorship, always vigilant against heterodox artistic manifestations, was stifling. Being active in the politically engaged theater then meant looking for different staging places and other points of view on the years of lead. Utilizing its actions, it is a ground principle, and its practices, TML would sow the seeds of the independent theatre group movement, having taken the first steps in the pathway toward an intervention theater that, later on, these groups took upon themselves to continue with. Despite adversities, theatrical experiments that go against the grain of prevailing thoughts are still tenaciously current on the agenda. Doing theater amid commercial pressure is, undoubtedly, a form of provocation, of insubordination to the "hit parade" market, to which Comuna – Teatro Pesquisa, Teatro da Cornucópia, O Bando, Casa da Comédia, A Barraca, the Évora Culture Center and SeivaTrupestill resort.

Published: March 2023

Nodules are tumors that may present cystic or solid content. That benign mammary feature constitutes up to 80% of all palpable lumps existent in women. Among these nodules, fibroadenoma is the most common in women aged between 15 and 35 years old. Thus, it's important for the scientific community and the population to the study parameters, such as the growth of young people that presents mammary nodules, the risk factors, the most frequent types in young women, as well as the diagnostic description. This study has an exploratory qualitative approach, done through an integrative revision of the scientific literature available in Portuguese and foreign languages from 1988 to 2020 about mammary nodules in young women. The importance of carrying out this research is justified by the analysis of the mammary nodule incidence in young women over the years, and thereat verify if there were precursor wounds of mammary cancer. Therefore it is possible to find if there is an increase in its incidence and perform an early diagnosis to attend to the antecedence of the symptoms of this benign disease. In addition, if there is a history that biases the increase of cancer risk in the future, it's possible to prevent it based on the identification of high-risk lumps. This topic has an authentic profile, with no referent article, and has not been discussed in the existent platforms, so it makes this relevant and innovative

Analysis of Water Quality of a Lentic Water Reservoir of Arrah, Bihar (India) by Application of the Water Quality Index (WQI)
Authors: Gupta Anjali
Published: March 2023

The water quality index (WQI) is a dimensionless number using arbitrary grading curves to normalize values by combining various characteristics of water quality water into a single value. It has been utilized traditionally to evaluate the water quality for rivers, streams, lakes, and other water sources. So the purpose of the current investigation is to evaluate the WQI of a lentic water body in Arrah (Bihar). For the three seasons' WQI calculations i.e. Monsoon, winter and summer, physico-chemical variables were tracked. For calculating WQI ten physico-chemical parameters were recorded. pH ranges between 7.54-7.86, total alkalinity from 112-167, total hardness 70-160, TDS 325-487, Calcium 43-67, Magnesium 26-130, Chloride 30-52, Sulphate 16-36, DO 5.2-5.7 and Nitrate from 21-34.

The permitted levels were met for the variables total hardness, pH, TDS, Calcium, Dissolved Oxygen, Chloride, Nitrate and Sulphate. On the other hand, the values of total alkalinity were higher in the winter and summer seasons, and the value of magnesium in the summer season was higher than prescribed by Indian Standards.
Use of Cultulings in Business Communication: A Case of Flattery
Authors: Hasanzadeh Saba , Shakeebaee Golshan
Published: March 2023

Since business without appropriate language use is impossible and language is an inseparable ‎part of a culture, knowing about the cultural patterns of communities can also be valuable. ‎Considering language as an essential component of any given culture, studying linguistic ‎expressions can reveal a society’s hidden cultural patterns, a concept known as cultuling ‎analysis. The current study looked at the “flattery” cultuling demonstrated in Persian and ‎English films. To achieve this, excerpts of dialogues from 100 Persian and 100 English films ‎were taken and analyzed by means of cultuling analysis (CLA) methodology from linguistic, ‎cultural, and psychological angles. The result showed that flattery can happen in formal and ‎informal situations among people from both equal and unequal status. Moreover, Iranian ‎people’s use of flattery displayed cultural patterns of overstating, high context, power ‎distance, low trust, and collectivism, while English people’s use of this cultuling revealed ‎their hidden culture, including low-context, high-trust, understanding, individualism, and ‎power distance.‎
