LITERARY TEXT AS A MEANS OF INTERCULTURAL LEARNING
Authors: Protić Anđela
Published: February 2025

Interculturality represents an important aspect of upbringing and education, contributing to the development of social sensitivity, an understanding of diversity and the creation of a positive cultural identity. The paper emphasizes the role of educators and teachers in the implementation of intercultural learning, as well as the importance of a deeper understanding of cultural dynamics and the application of appropriate methods during the upbringing and education of children. Special attention is given to the selection of literary texts that suit the age and interests of preschool and lower primary school children, as well as their significance for the educational process.Examples for preschool-age children include the works of Ljubivoje Ršumović: The Story of Michelangelo, The Cat and The Lovely Veronicas, as well as, the poem We Went to Africa, Grimms' fairy tales such as Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderell and The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. These provide fundamental lessons on respecting diversity and cultural differences through easily comprehensible narratives. For younger primary school students, valuable texts include the collection of Eskimo fairytales, The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Rooster by Yuri Druzhkov, The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen and stories by Jasminka Petrović such as Two Pots, Four Lids and Two Water Lilies Around a Stump. With proper methodological interpretation, these examples can greatly enhance the development of students' intercultural competencies, teaching them important values such as acceptance, respect and understanding of diversity, which are essential for developing empathy and openness toward the world around them.

Authors: Prusak Błażej , Valunaite Oleskeviciene Giedre
Published: February 2025

Globalisation and the growth of e-business and e-commerce have fuelled the need for English as the lingua franca for business communication worldwide. Business internationalisation means that language learners should be prepared to communicate with native speakers who often use rich idiomatic language in business communication. Non-native speakers have a need to master business idioms not to be at any disadvantage in business communication. Colour idioms are an important part of business vocabulary as they carry certain colour symbolism which enhances business communication. Knowledge of colour idioms also helps to build cultural awareness of certain differences, especially between foreign language users and native speakers. The current study focuses on idioms that incorporate specific colours and are related to the broad area of business (economics, finance and management). The main aim of the paper is to focus on colour idioms and colour symbolism in business language, to provide contextual analysis of the symbolism of colours in business by providing an extensive resource for the learner of Business English.

THE END OF POLITICS
Authors: Kovačević Slaviša
Published: February 2025

This paper problematizes the ‘end of politics’ thesis as reconstructed in the works of Daniel Bell and Francis Fukuyama. The author reaffirms the political theory of Hannah Arendt and elaborates on the empirical indicators of the technical state, challenges to sovereignty, militarism, and the narrowing of alternatives. The paper critically examines the ‘end of politics’ as the de-legitimisation of the content of a particular political model. The end of politics, history, or humanity is not possible in an absolute sense. Instead, we can speak of the end of certain models of politics, episodes in history, or phases in human development. The dynamics of society, change, and development are continuous processes. Every ‘end’ opens the door to new forms, ideas, and practices that shape the future. The theses about the ‘end’ should not serve as predictions, but rather as reflections on current crises and potential directions for development, aimed at avoiding stagnation and regression.
La Rand invertida
Authors: Hecht Gabrielle
Published: February 2025

El agua no era la única sustancia subterránea que demandaba ser evacuada antes de proceder a la explotación minera. Más importante aún, la excavación y perforación de túneles exigía la remoción de roca. Cuanto menor era la ley de mena, mayor era la proporción de piedra estéril. Una vez en la superficie, las rocas estériles tenían que ir a alguna parte. Fuera de las excavaciones, las rocas se amontonaban inexorablemente. La minería creaba montañas y madrigueras. La Rand hueca era también, simultáneamente, la Rand invertida, dada vuelta.
A Critical Interpretation on Sandhi Sharir
Authors: Meena Dr. Urmila
Published: February 2025

Sandhi Sharir, the study of joints within Ayurvedic anatomy, is a fundamental aspect of the musculoskeletal system.
Understanding the classification, structure, function, and pathology of Sandhis (joints) provides essential insights into both
traditional and modern medical practices. The bone that does Dharan of the body serves as the primary support for the human
body. These bones are attached to one another by a variety of joints, which allows them to hold the body in the right position.
Only the joints allow the body to move, therefore understanding the Sandhi's structure and function is crucial for a better
understanding of the Sandhi. Aacharya Sushruta has quoted that although there are numerous Sandhi in our body which
cannot be counted so only Asthi Sandhi should be considered while enumerating Sandhi. The definition of Sandhi in various
Ayurvedic literature are given as “Asthi Samyoga Sthaaana” or “to unite” or “the meeting point of two or more structures
counted so only Asthi Sandhi or bony joints should be considered under the term Sandhis.A thorough knowledge of the
structures and functions of the joint is required to diagnose and treat the disease of joints.

Authors: Caicedo Getial Milena Lizeth , Valenzuela Delgado Lisseth Carolina
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo surge como resultado de una experiencia educativa que pone en manifiesto la dificultad que presentan los estudiantes de educación superior de diversos perfiles profesionales, para comprender textos escritos en inglés. También, se exhibe insuficiente reconocimiento de vocabulario, y falencias para retener información sobre estructuras gramaticales propias del idioma extranjero.
En consideración a las dificultades de los estudiantes universitarios, mencionadas anteriormente, frente al proceso de comprensión lectora en inglés, nos centramos en el marco del programa educativo “Administración en Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo”, en la Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios; lo que ha dado lugar a una investigación de tipo cualitativa apoyada en el método “Inglés con Propósitos Específicos” (ESP – English for Specific Purposes) (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987, p. 9), tomando la técnica de grupo focal basada en observación, entrevistas y encuestas. Con la intención de propiciar el aprendizaje de vocabulario técnico y expresiones en inglés, y que a partir del ejercicio lector se contemplen los objetivos comunicativos para sacar el mayor provecho y reforzar la comprensión de lectura.
Adicionalmente, con el mencionado método ESP se busca incentivar el diseño de materiales propios, que contribuyan a la motivación en la adquisición de un idioma extranjero. Para lo cual es necesario identificar un contexto, sus características, el contenido determinado y unos objetivos, a través de un proceso de reflexión y evaluación constante.
Finalmente, se asume que el ejercicio adecuado de la lectura requiere del lenguaje y sus habilidades, lo que conduce a un proceso interactivo de creación de significado y así mismo sirve como principio organizador de las estructuras del texto, un hecho importante en el proceso de aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera.

Unilateral Primary Aldosteronism Lacking KCNJ5 Somatic Mutations is Associated with an Elevated Risk of New-Onset Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Chan Chieh-Kai , Yang Wei-Shiung , Lin Yen-Hung , Wu Vin-Cent , S Chueh Jeff
Published: February 2025

The association between KCNJ5 mutations and the risk of developing new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) in patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism (uPA) remains underexplored. To investigate this association, we conducted a longitudinal study using data from the Taiwan Primary Aldosteronism Investigation database. Our sample included 360 uPA patients with adrenalectomies between 2012 and 2017, with 191 (53.1%) having KCNJ5 mutations in their adrenal adenomas. We found that uPA patients harboring KCNJ5 mutations had a higher rate of complete clinical success (69.5% vs. 43.8%, p < 0.01) and complete biochemical success (93.8% vs. 86.6%, P = 0.04) compared to those without KCNJ5 mutation at six months to one year after adrenalectomy. Over an average follow-up period of 8.5 years, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that uPA patients with KCNJ5 mutations had a significantly lower risk of developing NODM (hazard ratio [HR]=0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.17-0.996; p=0.049). Additionally, we identified higher body mass index (BMI) (HR=1.23; 95% CI, 1.11-1.37; p<0.01) and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (HR=0.98; 95% CI, 0.97-0.99; p=0.01) as potential predictors of NODM based on baseline characteristics. The association between uPA patients without KCNJ5 mutations and higher incidence of NODM was less pronounced in subgroups characterized by younger age, higher BMI, higher eGFR, and lower potassium levels. In conclusion, uPA patients without KCNJ5 mutations have a higher incidence of NODM, with 13.6% affected during a long-term follow-up. Our findings suggest that uPA patients without KCNJ5 mutations may require more frequent follow-up for NODM after adrenalectomy.

Authors: Anttalainen Anna , Ukkola-Vuoti Liisa , Vihervaara Ville , Silvola Saija , Kuittinen Outi
Published: February 2025

Background: Large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs) form a notable subgroup of lymphomas; however, their associated long-term comorbidities and mortality rates remain under-researched in real-world settings.
Material and methods: This nationwide Finnish population-based matched cohort study included virtually all LBCL patients (N = 7,019) diagnosed from 2008 to 2019, alongside age, sex, and region-matched controls (1:1 ratio) without lymphoma. Diagnoses of LBCLs were obtained from the Finnish Cancer Registry, with data linked to additional nationwide registries. Baseline characteristics were summarised using descriptive statistics. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, while Cox regression was used to analyse factors associated with OS and evaluate the risk and associated factors of comorbidities considering the competing risk of death.
Results: The 5-year survival rate for LBCL patients, median age 70.7 years and 52.7% male, was 50.0% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 48.7% – 51.3%), compared to 82.6% (95% CI 81.5% – 83.6%) for controls. Among LBCL patients, older age and a higher Charlson comorbidity index were associated with increased mortality. Conversely, female sex, later diagnosis year, and radiation therapy were associated with improved survival. Patients with LBCL exhibited an elevated risk of long-term comorbidities, including solid tumours, hematological and skin cancers, lung and thyroid diseases, mental and behavioral disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. After 12 years of follow-up, lymphoma accounted for the primary cause of death in approximately 43% of LBCL patients.
Interpretation: Large B-cell lymphomas are linked with significant long-term comorbidities and elevated mortality rates.

Published: February 2025

This cross-sectional prospective cohort study investigates the clinical prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) in Lebanon. It is the first clinical study of its kind in Lebanon. Using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, patients initially underwent symptoms evaluation. Following this, participants received comprehensive ocular examinations, including the Tear Film Break-Up Time (TBUT), ocular surface staining, Schirmer’s test, and assessment of Meibomian gland quality and expressibility.
Our findings indicate a high prevalence of DED, with 73.9% of participants exhibiting symptoms, stratified into mild (32.4%), moderate (19.7%), and severe (47.9%) cases. The mean OSDI score was 33.31 (SD = 14.77). TBUT measurements averaged 6.5 and 6.85 in the right and left eyes, respectively. Ocular surface staining among DED patients was graded across four levels, with most eyes classified between Grades 1 and 3. Schirmer's test results showed reductions of 20% in the right eye and 31% in the left eye. Analysis of Meibomian gland quality and expressibility revealed that Grade 0 was present in 52.1% of cases, Grade 1 in 36.6%, and Grade 2 in 11.3%.
Our study identified smoking, contact lens use, and dyslipidemia as prevalent associated conditions, with a statistically significant association between these factors and DED (p < 0.001). Overall, our results confirm a high prevalence of DED in the Lebanese population, with modifiable risk factors that contribute to disease onset and severity.

The results of the review of the types of polymer composite materials used in domestic shipbuilding for the production of ship hulls and structures are presented. It has been established that the construction of vessels with a hull length of more than 70 m from polymer composite materials is currently not carried out for several reasons: limitation of length by the requirements of the rules of classification societies, lack of a single universally recognized worldwide methodology for calculating the strength parameters of composite hulls, high cost, restrictions on the use of composites by the requirements of international conventions and codes in the field of fire safety security. It is determined that polymer composite materials based on glass fibers and epoxy (or polyester) resin as a binding medium are most often used for the manufacture of ship structures in domestic shipbuilding. Molding is most often used as manufacturing methods, and vacuum infusion is used if special equipment is available. This is due to cost savings, the need for the introduction of complex and expensive vacuum infusion systems, ventilation systems for production facilities and heating of layers of composite materials in the production of elements of marine power plants and structures. With the reduction in the cost of materials such as carbon fiber, basalt-reinforced complexes, hydrocarbon fiber, and others, the prospect of using composites opens up not only for small-scale, but also large-tonnage displacement vessels for the manufacture of hull structures and superstructures, internal combustion engine parts, and other elements. The disadvantages of polymer composite materials such as high cost, difficult disposal and non-compliance with fire hazard, according to the requirements of international maritime codes and conventions, are considered, which may be a direction for future research.

Authors:   Pamukkale University- Denizli Turkey, Mutesi Hawa , Acimis Nurhan Meydan
Published: February 2025

Background: Despite the existence of other public health interventions, vaccination remains a cornerstone in the fight against pandemics. COVID-19 has led to loss of many lives, global economic deteriorations, and unemployment, hence the call for urgent interventions which includes introduction of COVID-19 vaccines.
Aim: The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine among residents of Jinja District, Eastern Uganda.
Method: A population-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 210 participants from Jinja District between 8th and 21st October 2021. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using IBM SPSS version 26.
Results: 45.2% of the participants had adequate level of knowledge with a 56.2% COVID-19 vaccine acceptability rate. Highly educated participants were most likely to have adequate knowledge of COVID-19 vaccine than the lowly educated ones (OR= 2.64; 95% CI; 1.32-5.26, P= .006). Having a high level of education (OR=2.7; 95% CI; 1.38-5.10, P= .004) was significantly associated with vaccine acceptability. Farmers and students were less likely to accept COVID-19 vaccine.
Conclusion: The general population of Jinja District demonstrated a low level of adequate knowledge and acceptance towards COVID-19 vaccine. There is need for more public awareness campaigns on the topic using radio and television as means of communication.
Protection of Rights of Knowledge Holders and Practitioners of Traditional Medicine in Tanzania
Authors:   National Institute for Medical Research, Mashoto Kijakazi Obed
Published: February 2025

Background: Lack or inadequate implementation and enforcement of legal frameworks for accessing and benefit sharing arising from the use of traditional and indigenous knowledge is associated with sub-optimal exploitation of traditional medicine knowledge and related research outputs in many African countries.
Objectives: This study assessed the practice of protecting the rights of holders of traditional medicine knowledge, and identified challenges in regulating, registering and protecting traditional medicine based services, processes and products in Tanzania.
Methods: Practice of protecting the rights of holders of traditional medicine knowledge in Tanzania was assessed through interviews with 12 knowledge holders and practitioners of traditional medicines, and 12 key informants from national regulatory authorities, and research and high learning institutions involved in traditional medicine research and development in Tanzania.
Results: Absence of frameworks for accessing and benefit sharing arising from the use of tradition medicine knowledge, mistrust and inadequate knowledge on procedures for protection of traditional medicine based intellectual property hampers the practice of protecting the rights of holders of traditional medicine knowledge in Tanzania. Costly and bureaucratic procedures are among the challenges encountered by knowledge holders and practitioners of tradition medicine in registration of their traditional medicine products and practices. Poor network relationship between holders of traditional medicine knowledge and research community slow down the progress of traditional medicine research and development. Lack of guidelines for regulation of traditional medicine research may be the result of overlapping roles of the National Institute for Medical Research and the Council of Traditional and Alternative Medicine
Conclusion: In Tanzania, the environment for protecting the rights of holders of traditional medicine knowledge is sub-optimal. To stimulate exploitation of traditional medicine for economic growth, there is a need to develop and implement national and institutional frameworks for accessing and benefit sharing arising from the use of traditional knowledge.

Published: February 2025

Let $\mathfrak{R}$ be a prime ring of characteristic different from $2$, $\mathcal{Q}_r^m$ be its maximal right ring of quotients, $\mathcal{C}$ be its extended centroid and $\omega(s_1,\ldots,s_n)$ be a noncentral multilinear polynomial over $\mathcal{C}$. Suppose that $\mathcal{H}_1$, $\mathcal{H}_2$ and $\mathcal{H}_3$ are three $X$-generalized derivations on $\mathfrak{R}$. If $$\mathcal{H}_1\bigg(\mathcal{H}_2(\omega(s_1,\ldots,s_n))\omega(s_1,\ldots,s_n)\bigg)=\mathcal{H}_3(\omega(s_1,\ldots,s_n)^2)$$ for all $s_1,\ldots,s_n\in \mathfrak{R}$, then we detail all potential configurations of the maps $\mathcal{H}_1, \mathcal{H}_2$ and $\mathcal{H}_3$.

Modeling and Identification of Helicopter Educational Model – Methodology Proposal
Authors: Tkáčik Tomáš , Jadlovská Anna
Published: February 2025

This article deals with the design of a generalized methodology for the identification of nonlinear dynamic systems using a combination of analytical and experimental identification methods. The proposed methodology is divided into modules that can be repeated if necessary. Verification of the methodology is presented on the modified helicopter educational model CE 150 from Humusoft company. A mathematical model of the system with both rotors approximated by a black-box nonlinear model is presented. The proposed experiments for obtaining experimental data are described in detail and are used in the estimation of model parameters. The gray-box model is validated in a control structure with a control law optimized for microcontrollers. Indirect validation of the gray-box model with the real helicopter educational model points to good approximation properties of the gray-box model and its potential for further use in the identification and control using artificial intelligence methods.
Workload negotiations for early and mid-career researchers in an Athena Swan gold-awarded department
Authors: Mathew Ruby Christine
Published: February 2025

In the UK academia, the Athena Swan (AS) Charter, established in 2005 is considered a significant innovation to improve women’s representation in senior positions. While several studies claim a measurable improvement in structural and cultural issues faced by women in AS-accredited universities, studies question the legitimacy of these claims considering persistent gender issues in academia. Using a grounded theory approach, the current study addressed this gap by investigating the impact of AS accreditation on the lived experience of early- and mid-career academics in UK Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subject areas. The findings show the performativity dimension for women who work in these spaces where women are required to undertake additional workload, which disrupts their more rewarding research activities. The added workload for women includes blood work associated with managing emotions, pain, and menstrual bodies in the science lab, as well as mothering responsibilities associated with cleaning and maintaining the lab spaces, and caring and nurturing work associated with pastoral care duties. This study argues that this added workload can have negative implications for women’s careers, which is not reflected in AS workload models.
