Mathematics is an important element for national development in that people in society use it for solving life practical problems. The Zambia government has relentless promoted the importance of mathematics and science in schools through certain education programmes such as JETS. However the performance of pupils as well as students in mathematics has not been encouraging. Mathematics achievement to a certain extent is determined by ones self-efficacy and anxiety (May, 2009). Mathematics instructors in Zambian schools lack the instruments as well as the competencies to reliably and validly measure the two concepts. One instrument that can be used to assess mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety is the mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety questionnaire (MSEAQ) developed by May (2009). However the psychometric properties of this instrument has not been established on the Zambian sample. This study aimed at investigating the reliability and construct validity of the mathematics self-efficacy and anxiety questionnaire (MSEAQ) on a Zambian sample. A quantitative research design through structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to achieve the research objectives. The 29 item MSEAQ with two sub scales was administered to a non-probability sample of 132 mathematics, engineering, natural and applied sciences university freshmen from Mulungushi University. The factorial structure models underlying the MSEAQ was investigated using item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) as well as the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Statistical analyses provided acceptable fit of the MSEAQ measurement model with the empirical data. The study has demonstrated evidence of reliability and construct validity for the usage of the MSEAQ in the Zambian context.

Статья посвящена исследованию возможностей применимости тензорного метода стоимостного анализа сетей интегрального обслуживания. Анализ экономической эффективности процессов развития инфраструктуры сетей интегрального обслуживания показывает, что технологии интеграции телефонных служб в сети передачи данных являются востребованными из-за широких возможностей по уменьшению стоимости владения сетевыми инфраструктурами. Отмечается, что технологии мультисервисных сетей требуются первоначальных капиталовложения на модернизацию оборудования передачи данных для обеспечения должного качества обслуживания, установку интерфейсов взаимодействия внутри и вне сети, а также средств мониторинга и управления мультисервисной сетью. Показано, что реальные сети связи характеризуются большим числом узлов и имеют сложную архитектуру. Это затрудняет их аналитическое описание и использование методов, основанных на моделях теории массового обслуживания, случайных марковских процессов и теории вероятностей. В данной статье рассматривается возможность применения тензорной методологии к стоимостному анализу сетей интегрального обслуживания. В работе представлены полученные результаты применимости тензорного метода для стоимостного анализа сетей интегрального обслуживания. Полученные результаты доведены до инженерных расчетов, что позволило привести примеры расчетов конкретных топологий сетей.

Published: July 2023

Educational feedback is a facilitating tool in improving medical interviewing skills through simulation practices. The simulated patient (SP) programme at the University of Pécs Medical School aims to provide efficient help for educators and students alike in language for medical purposes, communication and clinical courses. The constructivist feedback methodological approach ensures that students in history taking classes learn from role-playing in simulated scenarios and the feedback offered from the simulated patient. Effective assessment includes the learners’ own reflection and the patients’ non-judgmental observation on perceived interpersonal communication skills, observed professional misconduct, students’ ability to cope in emotionally challenging situations, and suggestions for improvement. Giving feedback has to be offered regularly to enable improvement in medical communication and nurture self-confidence. Our questionnaire survey of the students who attended history taking courses involved both self-reflection and instructor feedback based on their performance during simulated scenarios. The results of the study demonstrated substantial developments in relationship-building skills and self-confidence for students in post-course clinical practice.
Folklore-based value profile of the Slovak culture: use of folktales in cultural studies
Authors: Hrivíková Tatiana
Published: July 2023

The article describes the use of folktales in courses on intercultural communication. It is based on the idea that globalisation has made intercultural competence a highly needed competence. Students can benefit from studying in courses focused on theories about culture and their application in practice. Folktales are an excellent source of texts originally transmitted in oral tradition through history. They reflect the values and practices of the cultural community. The heroes/heroines represent the ideal patterns of behaviour while the villains are their opposites. Analysing these stories, the students can learn a lot not only about their own culture but others as well. We provide a list of possible tasks that help them understand the various layers of cultures and implement their knowledge of theory in a practical way. Whether practising in seminars, doing home assignments, or proving their understanding in tests, folktales provide an enjoyable and effective mode of learning.
A forrásnyelvi kompetencia és a szaktudás szerepe a jogi szakfordításban – egy kismintás vizsgálat tanulságai
Authors: Lesznyák Márta , Bakti Mária , Sermann Eszter
Published: July 2023

2020 tavaszán a Szegedi Tudományegyetem Fordítói és Utószerkesztői Kompetencia Kutatóközpontja átfogó vizsgálatot kezdett, melynek célja annak feltárása, hogy a PACTE modell elemei milyen szerepet játszanak a humán fordításban és a gépi fordítások utószerkesztésében. A PACTE csoport fordítóikompetencia-modelljében kiemelt szerepet kap a nyelvtudás és a fordítandó szöveghez kapcsolódó szaktudás is. Tanulmányunkban e két tényező szerepét szeretnénk körüljárni egy kismintás mérés eredményeire támaszkodva. A kutatás keretein belül az első adatgyűjtést 2020 tavaszán végeztük, amelynek során 10 másodéves, fordító- és tolmácsképzésben részt vevő hallgató egy rövid jogi szakszöveget fordított, illetve utószerkesztett (szerzői jog témakörben). Emellett a hallgatók az angol nyelvi kompetenciáik releváns elemeit (olvasás, nyelvtan), valamint a vonatkozó jogi háttérismereteiket mérő teszteket töltöttek ki. Az elemzés során a teszteken elért pontszámok és a célnyelvi szövegek hibaszámainak összefüggéseit vizsgáltuk. Az eredmények arra utalnak, hogy a forrásnyelvi olvasás-készség szignifikánsan összefügg a fordítás és az utószerkesztés során nyújtott teljesítménnyel. A nyelvtani teszten (Use of English) elért pontszámok gyakran közelítik meg a szignifikáns értéket; feltételezhető, hogy nagyobb mintán itt is szignifikánst összefüggést látunk majd. Meglepő módon a jogi ismeretek teszt nem mutatott szignifikáns összefüggést a teljesítménnyel, de ennek háttérben a teszt formai hiányosságai is állhatnak, amelyeket a vizsgálat későbbi fázisára orvosolni kell.
Neologizmus-lexikográfiai helyzetelemzés az aktuális német szótárprojektek tükrében
Authors: Csák Éva
Published: July 2023

A Duden 2020-ban megjelent egynyelvű egyetemes kéziszótár 28. kiadását kritika érte nemcsak a genderpolitikai felfogása kapcsán, hanem számos új, nem bizonyítottan elterjedt újabb keletkezésű szó, közöttük túlnyomó többségében anglo-neologizmus szótárba való felvétele miatt. Vajon ennyire megengedő a Duden szótár csapata? Tanulmányomban mindenekelőtt a jelenleg elérhető, korpuszalapú egynyelvű német értelmező online szótárak összetételéről és az ehhez kapcsolódó aktuális lexikográfiai munkákról adok tájékoztatást. Ezt követően annak járok utána, hogy a Duden 28. kiadásában megjelent, az üzleti kommunikáció tematikájába illeszkedő neologizmusok felkerültek-e másik két közismert (DWDS és OWID) online szótárba. Amennyiben bármilyen formában szerepeltetve vannak a keresett lexémák, azokra a kérdésekre keresem a választ, hogy mennyire egyezik meg az adott lexéma jelentésének és a gyakorisági mutatóinak leírása a három szótárban, és vannak-e eltérések a grammatikai magyarázatok és a neologizmusokhoz kapcsolódó nyelvhelyességi bizonytalanságok vonatkozásában. Végül a fellelhető különbségek okaira igyekszem következtetni, és az újabb keletkezésű szavak szótározási lehetőségeinek perspektíváira hívom fel a figyelmet.
A startup vállalkozások terminológiája angol–orosz internetes glosszáriumokban
Authors: Huszár Erika , Hamsovszki Szvetlana
Published: July 2023

A startupok működésével kapcsolatos terminológia nagyrészt angol nyelvű. A Budapesti Gazdasági Egyetem (BGE) Nemzetközi Üzleti Szaknyelvek Tanszék Kontrasztív Terminológia Kutatócsoportja több éve tanulmányozza, hogy egyes nyelvek hogyan fordítják ezt a terminológiát. Megállapítottuk, hogy míg a nyomtatott szótárak nem képesek követni a terminológia bővülését, illetve változásait, rendelkezésre áll több, a startup világhoz kapcsolódó online glosszárium. Angol–orosz viszonylatban összesen hat ilyen szó- és kifejezésgyűjtemény volt fellelhető az interneten, amelyből 374 terminuspár volt kinyerhető. Kutatásunk célja az volt, hogy feltárjuk, az internetes startup glosszáriumokban összegyűjtött terminusok milyen megfeleltetési és fordítási módok alkalmazásával kerültek át az orosz nyelvbe. A keletkezett célnyelvi terminusok interferenciajellemzőit szintén vizsgáltuk. Megállapítottuk, hogy startup témakörben a szakma és a laikusok közötti kommunikáció minden bizonnyal nehézkes, hiszen mind a hat glosszárium áttanulmányozása esetén is csak az esetek 52,31 százalékában lelhető fel nyelvileg transzparens terminus. Azt láttuk azonban, hogy az orosz nyelv meglehetősen nyitott az idegen szavak (átemelések, nemzetközi szavak) használatára, így amennyiben a hatékonyabb kommunikációra való igény erősödik, a ma még interferenciát okozó terminusok szélesebb körben való elterjedése várható.

Published: July 2023

In most of the social science research, farmers are classified into various categories based on their socio-economic status (SES), adoption levels, knowledge, and utilization patterns, where SES is the most commonly measured phenomenon. The study aimed to create a standard method of socioeconomic classification of the population for the developed scale with a scientific foundation that can be easily and simply applied to each sector or population stratum and is also useful for other variables of interest such as adoption, knowledge of farmers, etc. The socioeconomic status (SES) of the population in a nation is crucial since it is one of the key factors affecting a person’s health, education, mortality, morbidity, and nutritional status. The study was conducted in the year 2022-23 with 300 farmers from the state of Telangana. The number of classes was obtained by applying NbClust package in R software. The score range for the respective classes was calculated using Cumulative Square Root of Frequency (CSRF). The Nblust analysis suggested a 5-class cluster. The new five socio-economic classes include upper, upper middle, middle, upper lower, and lower class with scores of 25 and above, 21-24, 17-20, 13-16, and below 13 respectively.

Published: July 2023

his study presents the perceived characteristics of pig master, a mobile app developed as a Continuing Veterinary Education (CVE) tool for veterinarians. The CVE programmes are being taken up by various institutions in India and it was observed that many of the field veterinarians are not able to attend the regular CVE programmes for obvious reasons, for whom ICT tools like mobile devices can be useful. In this context, veterinarians’ perception of the mobile application on pig farming developed after the need assessment was assessed. The study was carried out with the veterinarians of the State Department of Animal Husbandry (SDAH), Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 91 field veterinarians was studied to whom Android Package on pig farming and questionnaires were sent. The ‘pig master’ mobile application was found to have good visual quality, more credible, effective in arousal of curiosity and was with high information coverage along with user-friendliness. Moreover, the app was also found with remarkable utility and helpful in decision-making as expressed by the majority of the field veterinarians. This study emphasizes the need of making CVE programmes effective by using digital media towards enrichment of knowledge of veterinarians.

Published: July 2023

The study analysed the investment and returns of installing solar-powered pumps, besides their economic feasibility and efficiency in arid and sub-humid regions of Rajasthan based on primary data collected for the year 2018-19. The feasibility analysis while accounting for different climatic regions of Rajasthan is imperative to examine since it influences the depth of water table and required power to extract groundwater which would, affect economic feasibility of pumps. Only subsidised investment in solar powered tubewells was found to be economically feasible in both regions. The efficiencies of solar-irrigated farms and savings in cost after installing solar-powered pumps were found to be higher for sub-humid region, which may be attributed to better utilisation of solar pumps, cultivation of high-value vegetables and adoption of improved technologies. The major constraint faced by farmers in adoption of solar-powered pumps in arid region was found to be their non-functioning in higher water table situations, while in sub-humid region, it was a high initial investment. Hence, there is need to have custom-made policies according to climatic regions of the country and to increase awareness regarding benefits of adoption of advanced technologies and high-value crops which can complement the benefits of adoption of solar-powered pumps.

Molecular hydrogen modulates brain glutamate/GABA-glutamine cycle in overweight humans
Authors: Korovljev Darinka , Ostojic Jelena , Todorovic Nikola , Ostojic Sergej
Published: July 2023

Introduction

We evaluated whether 12-week intake of molecular hydrogen (H2) in 5 overweight adults (3 women; age: 50.2 ±11.9 years, body mass index: 29.4 ±2.1 kg/m2) affects brain levels of the glutamate-glutamine-GABA cycle, critical amino acid neurotransmitters in the mechanism of neuronal activation during appetite regulation.

Material and methods

A 1.5-T single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to assess the tissue concentrations of relevant metabolites.

Results

The mean glutamate and glutamate-plus-glutamine levels at the posterior cingulate gyrus decreased significantly during the study; this was accompanied by a significant drop in GABA levels at left prefrontal white matter, and glutathione levels at anterior cingulate gyrus. No changes in the brain metabolites were found in the comparable group of overweight individuals (n = 4, 2 women; age: 41.0 ±13.9, BMI 26.8 ±1.3 kg/m2) followed-up in the past without this treatment.

Conclusions

We showed a possible hydrogen-driven upregulation of neurotransmitters involved in appetite stimulation leading to hunger suppression and weight loss. Further studies analyzing appetite-controlling metabolic pathways affected by H2 would require monitoring of additional biomarkers of satiation and satiety during different feeding regimens.
The Photographs of Nair Benedicto and the Memory of Protest in Brazil
Authors: Zerwes Erika
Published: July 2023

This chapter focuses on the work of photojournalist Nair Benedicto during the final years of the military dictatorship in Brazil. It examines her work in relation to other known photographs from the period in order to show some of the ways in which photography, activism, and collective memory can be articulated in visual culture. As photographer and activist, Benedicto played an important role in connecting different social movements both through her photographic practice and through her professional and political engagements. In doing so, she helped to shape the visuality associated with political and social protests in contemporary Brazilian history.
Photography, Memory, and Women in May ’68
Authors: Memou Antigoni
Published: July 2023

The dominant narrative configurations of May ’68 in France have rendered the figure of the “radical protesting student”—typically male—as the primary actor in the events, while women’s role has largely been erased from the “official” collective memory. The most frequently exhibited and published visual documents of the era dovetail neatly with these narratives, representing female participants either as problematic emblems or as passive, inactive, and bereft of political agency. This chapter focuses on photographs of female participants in the events that can be considered “canonical,” and asks how women have been portrayed in the visual narratives that dominated the post-1968 public discourse and whether alternative representations of them were, and maybe still are, excluded from this canon.
Scarcity in Visual Memory: Creating a Mural of Sylvia Pankhurst
Authors: Vlessing Clara
Published: July 2023

This chapter looks at the “premediation” (Erll & Rigney, 2009) of a mural of the early 20th-century activist Sylvia Pankhurst and considers a number of photographs that it remediates, asking the question: How did these images end up here? The chapter follows the images in relation to broader characteristics of Pankhurst’s remembrance, exploring the long and often complicated pathways they take to become carriers of cultural memory. This exploration reveals the many different forms of political or aesthetic attachment behind the mural, which themselves are shaped by institutional, financial, or technological constraints and possibilities, and demonstrates that even in a culture of “post-scarcity” (Hoskins, 2018) and supposed imagistic abundance the visual memory of activism is still governed by scarcity.
‘Miracula et alia id genus’
Authors: Dow Douglas N.
Published: July 2023

When they renovated their church at the charterhouse in Galluzzo outside of Florence, the Carthusians commissioned Bernardino Barbatelli (called Poccetti, 1553–1612) to decorate the space with some of the earliest monumental images from the life of their founder, Saint Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030–1101). These scenes of Saint Bruno highlight the important role that the Carthusians had played in sacred history, and make a case for their continued relevance as the Roman Church faced the threat of Protestantism. In the process, the images also celebrate other important figures from Carthusian history, holding them up as examples of how their eremetical order had loyally served the Church in the past and would do so in the future.

Communicating Democracy: The Discourse of Political Leaders of the Baltic States
Authors: Romāne-Kalniņa Līga
Published: July 2023

The term democracy, which is a compound noun consisting of two Greek words demos and kratos and stands for people and power, recently has acquired yet another meaning, that of a way of governing the state based on the will of people. Communication is one of the key elements of a democratic polity; whereas language serves as one of the key forms in the realisation of political communication. The public communication of political leaders of the Baltic States, specifically, the presidents as representative leaders, during the tree decades of restored independence has been focused on the idea of democracy, emphasizing the thematic areas of ‘returning to the West,’ ‘returning to Europe,’ and ‘returning to democracy’ as central elements of national identities of those states. The paper offers a corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis of presidential speeches given by the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during the three decades of independence with the focus on the linguistic representation and discursive construction of democracy.
Diş Çürüklerinin Farklı Yaşam Koşullarına Sahip Köpeklerde Makroskobik Olarak ve Probla İncelenmesi
Authors: ERER Esma
Published: July 2023

Bu çalışmada farklı yaşam koşullarında bulunan sahipsiz köpeklerdeki diş çürüklerinin evcil köpeklere göre neden daha fazla olduğunun açıklaması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma Erciyes Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Cerrahi Anabilim Dalına çeşitli nedenlerle getirilen farklı yaşam koşullarına sahip değişik ırk, yaş ve cinsiyetteki 34 köpeğin dişleri üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Köpekler yaşam koşullarına göre eşit şekilde sokak ve evcil köpeği olmak üzere iki ana gruba ayrıldı. Olgular dental plak, kalkulus, periodontal hastalık ve abrazyon durumları göz önünde bulundurularak diş çürükleri yönünden probla ve makroskobik olarak incelendi. Çalışmadaki evcil köpeklerin sadece 1’inde çürük gözlenirken, sokakta yaşayan sahipsiz köpeklerin hepsinde lezyonun varlığı kaydedilmiştir. Çürükler en çok maksillar 4. premolar, 1. ve 2. molar dişler ile mandibular dişlerin oklüzal yüzeylerinde ve proksimalinde sarı-kahverengi lekelenmeler şeklinde görüldü. Kanin dişlerde daha az çürükle karşılaşıldı. Dental abrazyona çürük olan dişlerin hemen hepsinde karşılaşıldı. İstatistiksel analiz verilerine göre farklı seviyelerdeki dental plak ve kalkulus ile diş çürüğü arasında zayıf yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Ancak periodontal hastalık bulunan hayvanların çürükle arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı.

Sonuç olarak köpeklerin yaşam koşullarının diş çürükleri üzerinde istatistiksel olarak son derece anlamlı bir ilişkisinin olduğu belirlendi. Barınma koşulları, beslenme şekilleri, davranış bozuklukları, diş sağlığı ve ağız hijyenin yetersizliği vb. birçok faktör sokak köpeklerinin ağız ve diş sağlığını evcil hayvanlara göre daha fazla etkilediği görüldü. Yaşam koşullarının çürük gelişimi üzerine etkisini inceleyen çalışmaların azlığı nedeni ile bu farklılıklar tam açıklanamadı. Bu sebeple çalışmaların artırılması, hayvanların ağız ve diş sağlığını korumaya yönelik önlemlerin alınması yönünden faydalı olacaktır.

This research is motivated by the fact that there are heads of madrasa aliyah in Banjarbaru City who have not yet made a quality culture development program in the madrasa they lead. They haven't even made a vision and mission, as well as the goals for developing madrasas properly, which are the basis for other programs, so that the head of the madrasa has no direction and will be difficult to measure. As active administrators of the Banjarbaru City KKMA researchers seek to provide assistance through a School Action Research which was carried out for 5 months, namely from January to May 2023. This research was carried out in two cycles, where each cycle consisted of four stages, namely planning, implementing, observing and reflection.

Este estudo consta de uma revisão de literatura sobre manifestações do bruxismo em crianças e adolescentes com Síndrome de Down (T21) que apresentam diversas alterações no seu desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, inclusive de interesse odontológico, necessitando de uma atenção multidisciplinar. O objetivo desta pesquisa é conhecer a etiologia e manifestação do bruxismo em crianças e adolescentes com T21. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica narrativa valendo-se de livros e de artigos científicos em revistas disponíveis na internet. Os resultados apontaram que crianças e adolescentes com T21 apresentam três vezes mais mordida cruzada posterior em relação às crianças e adolescentes típicos; o bruxismo está presente em mais da metade das crianças acometidas pela T21; pacientes com T21 apresentam números significativos de comorbidades bucais; ainda não se encontra totalmente elucidada na literatura as causas do bruxismo em crianças e adolescentes com T21. Ao final do estudo, foi possível verificar que existe associação entre o bruxismo diurno e a T21 decorrente de múltiplos fatores. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas sobre as causas e as manifestações do bruxismo nesta síndrome.
