The current study aims at investigating the effect of the MURDER strategy on on EFL pupils’ reading skills. To achieve the aims of this study, a hypothesis is assumed to be established. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of experimental groups in pre- post reading tests. For carrying out the aims of this study, and validating its hypotheses, a sample of sixty pupils have been randomly chosen from the First - intermediate class in Hasan AL-Sumidia Intermediate School for Boys, during the academic year 2022-2023. The two groups are equally divided into, group (A) represents experimental group that consists of (30) pupils who have been taught according to Murder strategies. Group (B) signifies control group which also includes (30) pupils who have been taught according to the traditional method. Making a pre and post achievement test. Both groups have been equalized in such variables such as educational level of parents, English scores achievement in preceding schooling year, and the pre-test of both groups. Five questions are composed to combine a post-test. Alpha-Cronbach method has been used to confirm the reliability coefficient. The discrimination power and difficulty level for each item have been determined via statistical analysis of the items. The entire sample has been exposed to the post-test as a result. The data gathered from the post-test findings have been statistically examined using the formula for the T-test of two independent and paired samples. According to the results, there is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught by using the MURDER strategy and the control group who is taught by using the traditional method in the pre-post achievement test. Based on the findings and conclusions of this study, appropriate recommendations and suggestions for future studies are put forward.

Mouth is the first area for the food to be in contact with oral epithelia and it could cause a chain of events initiated thermal injuries (because of eating or consumption of hot food) leading to ulceration epithelial hyperplasia or dysplasia and end by carcinoma. The elaboration of the food makes it risque to evaluate the r ole of various dietary components about oral carcinogenesis. Broiling or frying foods and the utilization of microwave increase oral cancer chance. The way is too long in this field and it needs more studies to focus on oral cancer especially oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this review we attempt t o clarify the impact of some diet items on oral carcinoma.

Published: November 2023

Across the United States, people are arrested and held behind bars for days, weeks, and sometimes even months, without ever seeing a judge or attorney. These delays violate the United States Constitution’s promise that an arrested person—who is innocent unless proven guilty—will have prompt access to the courts, the assistance of counsel, and a fair and speedy trial. These due process milestones begin at initial appearance: the first time an arrested person sees a judge about their case. At an initial appearance, the judge should inform an arrested person of the charges against them. The judge should also make an informed decision about whether, and under what conditions, to release a person from jail pending trial. The judge should hold this initial appearance promptly after arrest, and an attorney should advocate for the arrested person. Too often, none of these things happen. This policy brief outlines five best legal practices for jurisdictions to honor the United States Constitution and protect the rights of all arrested people. In addition to detailing each best practice, the publication outlines strategies for success that jurisdictions can use when implementing these vital policies.

Authors: Sousa Thiago Fernandes de , Silva Antônio Sérgio Mota da , Oliveira Antonio Edson Bantim
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo visa analisar as concepções trazidas pela ética das virtudes de Aristóteles, mormente analisando-se o conceito de justiça, de modo a identificar como esses entendimentos estão relacionados à busca pelo bem na referida ética. Diante da crise de valores, na qual se encontra a sociedade contemporânea, é necessário que se estude novamente os valores, tomando-os como princípios objetivos, superiores a mera subjetividade humana, a exemplo do valor justiça. Em vista disso, buscou-se responder o seguinte: qual é a natureza do bem almejado por todas as ações humanas e como tal conceito influencia o entendimento de virtudes, especialmente a acepção de justiça no pensamento aristotélico? Consoante o estudo da obra Ética a Nicômaco seria possível defender a hipótese de que as virtudes representam a excelência moral e ética nas ações humanas, sendo a justiça uma dessas virtudes, consistindo em um dos princípios fundamentais para alcançar o bem comum em uma sociedade.

Porphyrins are photosensitizers (PS) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, the most effective PS have poor water solubility, which limits their application in PDT. The solution to this problem is the use of targeted drug delivery, such as the oligonucleotide AS1411. In this work we studied the interaction of cationic mesoarylporphyrins with AS1411 by optical and dipole EPR spectroscopy.

Authors: Albanova Vera I. , Petrova Stanislava Y.
Published: November 2023

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic allergic skin disease, the most common of dermatoses during pregnancy. Exacerbation of AD can be at any stage of pregnancy, its main causes are an increase in progesterone levels, the predominance of Th2 cytokines, psychoemotional stress, violations of the gastrointestinal tract. Changes occur in the clinical picture, the lesions on the face and extensor surfaces of the extremities, papules. Treatment options for pregnant women are limited due to the unethical nature of clinical trials. It is safe to use topical glucocorticosteroids, moisturizers, narrow-band UVB 311 nm, calcineurin inhibitors are relatively safe. In systemic therapy in severe cases, the use of cyclosporine or a short course of prednisone is recommended. There is no evidence of the safety of selective immunosuppressants.

Published: November 2023

Los avances tecnológicos y metodológicos de las últimas décadas (e.g., información satelital, potencia de los ordenadores, análisis geoespacial, desarrollo de algoritmos) facilitaron buscar soluciones a problemas complejos como el cambio global. Estos avances permitieron que surjan plataformas informáticas para modelar servicios ecosistémicos, que cuantifican los beneficios de la naturaleza y evalúan cómo son o serán afectados por acciones humanas. Actualmente, existen variadas plataformas con diferentes grados de aptitud según el contexto, destacándose k.LAB por ser gratuita, de código abierto y presentar un enfoque de ciencia colaborativa, además de integrar diferentes técnicas de modelado con inteligencia artificial. k.LAB es muy versátil para responder a las demandas de diferentes usos, desde programar y modelar SE hasta tomar decisiones. Sin embargo, quienes cuantifican y mapean SE, especialmente en Latinoamérica, tienen escaso conocimiento de k.LAB; esto dificulta aprovechar su potencial, tal como sucedió con herramientas de acceso libre y código abierto (e.g., la adopción de R requirió tiempo, revisiones, discusiones y materiales didácticos en revistas especializadas). Este trabajo presenta las capacidades de k.LAB en el contexto de las plataformas de modelado de SE. Primero, introducimos estas plataformas en términos generales, con énfasis en las más usadas. Luego, caracterizamos k.LAB técnica y filosóficamente. Después, presentamos un caso de estudio en el norte de la Patagonia argentina, ilustrando la obtención de mapas de tres SE (captura de carbono, polinización y recreación al aire libre) utilizando aplicaciones de modelado dirigidas a personas sin experiencia en programación. Finalmente, establecemos características deseables en las plataformas de modelado de SE para discutir ventajas y limitaciones de k.LAB en relación con otras alternativas. Esperamos brindar un marco general útil para el modelado de SE y ampliar el conjunto de herramientas para abordar problemáticas vinculadas al cambio global en la Argentina y otros países de la región.
INCREASING THE ROLE OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SECURITIES MARKET IN UKRAINE
Authors: Buriachenko Andrii , Botsman Yurii
Published: November 2023

It is noted that the concept of liquidity in the securities market has a slightly different meaning compared to the concepts of liquidity in securities, banks, or enterprises. Over the years of research, the liquidity of the securities market has been defined in various ways, depending on the specific characteristics under examination. It has been established that businesses accumulate surplus monetary resources (savings) from the public through institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies, commercial banks, and investment institutes, converting these resources into investments. The government implements its credit and monetary policies through the issuance of state securities. Fiscal and monetary policies, in turn, serve as tools employed by the government to regulate the interactions of participants in the stock market. Overall, the economic policy of the state, as expressed in the balance between state investments and state consumption, plays a role in determining the wage levels in the public sector, influencing investment opportunities, business needs, and the level of savings among the population. It is argued that in modern studies, the concept of market liquidity is considered in the context of a specific issuance of securities, with the primary focus on the ability to quickly complete a substantial transaction (involving a significant volume of securities) and its impact on the market price of the specific security issue in question. Moreover, the liquidity of a particular issuance of securities is somewhat interconnected with the overall liquidity of securities since the rapid completion of a substantial transaction with minimal impact on the market price is linked to the investor's ability to quickly sell the security at a reasonable cost. The market density of a specific security issue reveals how much the supply and demand prices (current quotations) of those securities deviate from the average market price. In a liquid market, there is only a minor deviation between supply and demand prices, implying that significant transactions have limited influence on the market price. When determining market density, the spreads between bid and ask prices are often employed, which represent the difference between the asking (selling) and bidding (buying) prices of a specific security issue (the asking price is higher than the bidding price). Generally, the smaller the spread between bid and ask prices, the more liquid the market is, particularly when there is a substantial number of bid submissions.
Mechanically-controlled multifaceted dynamic transformations in twisted organic crystal waveguides
Authors: Chandrasekar Rajadurai , Rohullah Mehdi , Vinay Pradeep Vuppu , Singh Shruti
Published: November 2023

This study introduces mechanically induced novel phenomena such as standing, leaning, stacking, and interlocking behaviors in naturally twisted optical waveguiding microcrystals on a substrate. The twisted crystal self-assembled from 2,4-dibromo-6-(((2-bromo-5-fluorophenyl)imino)methyl)phenol is flexible and emits orange fluorescence. Crystal’s mechanical flexibility in the perpendicular direction to (001) and (010) planes can be attributed to intermolecular interactions, including C-H···Br, N-H···O, C-H···O, and π···π stacking interactions. Through a systematic process involving step-by-step bending and subsequent optical waveguiding experiments at each bent position, a linear relationship between optical loss and mechanical strain is established. Additionally, the vertical standing and leaning of these crystals at different angles on a flat surface and the vertical stacking of multiple crystals reveal the three-dimensional aspects of organic crystal waveguides, introducing light trajectories in a 3D space. Furthermore, the integration of two axially interlocked twisted crystals enables the coupling of polarization along their long axis. These novel crystal dynamics expand the horizons of crystal behavior and have the potential to revolutionize various applications, rendering these crystals invaluable in the realm of crystal-related science and technology.
Quantitative Measurement of Cation-Mediated Adhesion of DNA to Anionic Surfaces
Authors: Hao Xian , Gu Qufei , Isborn Christine , Long Makenzie , Ye Tao
Published: November 2023

Anionic polyelectrolytes, such as DNA, are attracted to anionic surfaces in the presence of multivalent cations. A major barrier toward molecular-level understanding of these attractive interactions is the paucity of measurements of the binding strength. Here, atomic force microscopy-based single molecule force spectroscopy was used to quantify the binding free energy of double-stranded DNA to an anionic surface, with complementary density functional theory calculations of the binding energies of metal ion-ligand complexes. The results support both electrostatic attraction and ion-specific binding. Our study suggests that the correlated interactions between counterions are responsible for attraction between DNA and an anionic surface, but the strength of this attraction is modulated by the identity of the metal ion. We propose a mechanism in which the strength of metal-ligand binding, as well as the preference for particular binding sites, influence both the concentration dependence and the strength of the DNA-surface interactions.

Published: November 2023

Nowadays, the field of web application development for psychologists and social workers is not sufficiently developed by IT specialists. This is due to the fact that in the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, psychologists had enough personal communication to provide assistance or advice to clients. After the introduction of quarantine norms, the work of psychologists became much more complicated, as a number of restrictions were imposed. At the same time, the need for counseling patients with mental and other illnesses is not decreasing. Demand is growing among those people who have not been so active in psychologists before - the situation encourages them to take care of their health. This problem is solved by programmers of different directions. The task was to develop a web application that could give a psychologist the opportunity to conduct online video conferencing using the necessary tools for online interaction with the patient, based on the original software solution. An online game "Metaphorical Associative Cards" was developed on the basis of the developed web service. No special skills are required to work in this application, and the interface is simple and clear to any user. The user has access to the following pages: the main page should contain information about the website, its news and other information; the course page contains a list of available psychological games that help the psychologist to establish close contact with the client, even online; personal account is a page where you can view and edit personal information of the user; registration, login or password recovery page. This application is already used by psychologists in test mode. In the future, the tools of a psychologist will be expanded and the main page will be developed, where information about psychologists and their articles will be published.

K131 Antarctic sea ice science: A case study of infrastructure, strategies, and skills
Authors: Stevens Craig , Robinson Natalie , Langhorne Pat
Published: November 2023

​
If you are fortunate enough to have access to a port-side win-dow when flying into McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, you’ll see a long, slender glacier that spills off the south-western flank of Mount Erebus and then floats out into the waters of the Sound. This is the Erebus Glacier tongue, as big as any glacier in New Zealand,  but  tiny  in  Antarctic  terms.  It  is  also  uncommonly  narrow  relative  to  its  length,  and  edged  by  substantial  undulations.  It  has  been  the  focus  of  research  ever  since  Scott’s  last expedition, with geologist Griffith Taylor documenting its structure (Taylor 1922). Remarkably, given the decades-long interval  between  occurrences,  the  last  few  kilometres  of  the  glacier broke off during their time there (Stevens et al. 2013). The abnormal structure, history of research, and ease of access mean it has been scientifically pored over for decades. It was also the starting point for the development of some Antarctic infrastructure that has been a mainstay of New Zealand sea ice research for more than thirty years. Ernest Rutherford is supposed to have said ‘we don’t have much  money  so  we  have  to  think’  (da  C.  Andrade  1964).  In  the  era  of  ~10%  success  rates  for  funding  applications,  this  could be augmented to additionally say ‘and be flexible and be prepared to take one’s time’. Big science is about big missions, large  teams  focused  on  a  fundable  goal,  with  its  end-points  well defined. Certainly, within this envelope, research takes its meanders and, science being science, advances are often found in the side-meanders. What about a different kind of mission? What if the mission is built upon meanders? What if we could go from listening to a glacier through to predicting the impacts of a changing climate?

Introducción: La metodología docente del Aprendizaje Basado en Casos (ABC) es una metodología de aprendizaje activo que genera un mayor nivel de participación de los estudiantes y aprendizajes significativos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar y comparar una actividad de ABC utilizando un razonamiento deductivo (analizar y extraer conceptos teóricos en un caso proporcionado) frente a una actividad de ABC utilizando un razonamiento inductivo (crear un caso introduciendo de forma implícita conceptos teóricos) respecto al rendimiento académico y satisfacción de los estudiantes, así como analizar la relación con la percepción de autoeficacia.
Metodología: Se desarrolló un estudio descriptivo transversal. 111 alumnos realizaron ambas actividades ABC (deductivo e inductivo). Ambas actividades de aprendizaje versaron sobre con contenidos teóricos de psicología de grupos. Las variables recogidas fueron: puntuación de la actividad, satisfacción con cada actividad, calificación del examen teórico y percepción de autoeficacia. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, correlacional y comparativo mediante T-Student de muestras relacionadas.
Resultados: Las calificaciones de la actividad ABC inductiva fueron significativamente más elevadas frente a las calificaciones de la actividad ABC deductiva (p=0,042). El nivel de satisfacción de los alumnos en el ítem de ayuda a pensar críticamente fue evaluado más favorablemente en la actividad de ABC deductivo (p=0,029). La relación entre la calificación de la actividad de ABC inductiva y la calificación obtenida en el examen teórico fue significativa. No hubo correlación de ninguna de las actividades con la autoeficacia percibida de los estudiantes.
Conclusiones: La actividad de ABC con un razonamiento inductivo es más efectivas para lograr el rendimiento académico y la satisfacción con las actividades evaluadas por parte de los estudiantes es alta.

El tiempo de trabajo, como materia jurídica, ocupa una posición central en el ordenamiento jurídico laboral. Así ha sido desde sus orígenes y a lo largo de su desarrollo, si bien en la actualidad plantea nuevas perspectivas y desafíos en su regulación, mostrándose insuficiente en sus contenidos el marco legal de referencia, que demanda la ineludible intervención de la negociación colectiva para completarlo.
El presente artículo analiza el marco jurídico del tiempo de trabajo y permite descubrir todas las potencialidades de la negociación colectiva como fuente reguladora de esta condición de trabajo, en todas sus vertientes.
En particular, se estudian aspectos tan importantes como: jornada, descansos, horario, horas extraordinarias, permisos, vacaciones, desconexión digital. También se ofrece un análisis del tiempo de trabajo desde la perspectiva de la conciliación de la vida personal, familiar y laboral, así como desde la perspectiva del feminismo.
Finalmente se identifican los nuevos espacios abiertos a la negociación entre los representantes de los trabajadores y empresario y se exponen las propuestas.
Performance, imagen y temporalidad en "Trilogía de la guerra" de Agustín Fernández Mallo.
Authors: Montoya Juárez Jesús
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo pretende analizar el papel de lo performativo, la tecnología visual y lo matérico en Trilogía de la guerra (2018), novela que defiende una estética que toma en cuenta la complejidad de representaciones y medios a través de los cuales configuramos la experiencia en nuestro siglo y, a la vez, representa una fórmula artística que reproduce el gesto de subvertir el “tiempo cero” del capitalismo global interviniendo artísticamente sobre la idea de temporalidad.
Environment, Ethics, and Entity Economics, Economia Aziendale. Historical and Ontological Aspects
Authors: Galassi Giuseppe
Published: November 2023

The paper stresses the failure of ‘economics’ to predict and prevent repeated economic crises and the most critical topic of the environmental failure and ecological crises, founded also on economic theories and misconceived choices. The implication is a search for alternatives through an ontological-evolutionary-institutional approach and empirical investigations.

The search for political ‘normative economics’, entity economics, accounting and information science copes with social and ecological-environmental problems, and systems science; it is necessary to keep always in mind these interactions for fully understand and correctly interpret the present ‘social-economic reality’.

The problem concerning environmental decisions goes beyond ontology and belongs to ethics. It must underline the debates on ‘evolutionary ethics’, not only related with ‘environmental and ecological economics’, the management of environment and reporting, but also with ‘evolutionary ontology’; the new perspective affirms that ‘existence’, for instance, of a moral behavioral attitude, can reveal itself as a ‘norm’ thus relating ethics to ontology.

General economists, entity economics theorists, as well as accountants and information scientists should be familiar with the potentials and limits of ‘ontology’, also for the ongoing expansion of computerization of scientific research in most of the scientific domains. The renewed interest, particularly in ontology, arouse specifically from systems scientists in constructing a wide variety of artificial intelligent systems.  For its analysis, the study has been structured into two periods of time: until the middle of the 20th century and from that moment on. The paper ends by showing the new developments in information systems and their ontological approach

X-RAY VISUALIZATION AS IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUE FOR FRAGMENTS OF DEEP-SEA HABITAT-FORMING SCLERACTINIANS
Authors: Molodtsova T. N. , Mishin A. V. , Simakova U. V.
Published: November 2023

Deep-sea colonial Scleractinia (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) are indicator species of vulnerable marine ecosystems known as deep-sea coral reefs. The number of species of deep-sea community-forming colonial Scleractinia is small and specimens of good preservation, especially those collected in a live state, can be easily identified to the species level. Identification of fragments, especially those of the basal part of colonies, can be difficult. We have shown that X-ray examination can effectively distinguish colony fragments of the widespread deep-sea community-forming scleractinian corals Desmophyllum pertusum and Solenosmilia variabilis (Caryophylliidae). The skeleton of S. variabilis is considerably denser and less X-ray permeable compared to D. pertusum. The calyx cavities of the corallites of S. variabilis are visible only at the periphery of the fragment and practically do not extend to the outside. In D. pertusum, the cavities of the corallites can be deeply traced in the fragment body, they have a conical shape and considerably expand to the periphery. The proposed method of identification is inexpensive, does not require special sample preparation, and allows rapid identification of bulk material.

At the mouth of the Onega River, communities of air-water vegetation of the seaside type are formed by the forming brackish marshes. Classification of vegetation was carried out from the position of an ecological and phytocynotic approach, it contains 6 associations with the dominance of plants of the ecological group of gelophytes, in relation to the aquatic environment: Potamogetonetum pectinati, Scirpetum tabaernemotanae, Eleocharitetum uniglumis, Bolboshoenetum maritimi, Bolboshoenetum maritimi ecleocharitosum uniglumis, Phragmitetum australis. The communities of such associations develop on hut-sand soils of marches in conditions of slight salinity. Together, this vegetation forms a special type of biogenic shores, called cable.
أسس اختصاص محاكم الأحداث: دراسة مقارنة بين النهجين الأمريكي والكويتي
Authors: المطيري فارس مناحي
Published: November 2023

تناولت الدراسة موضوع أسس اختصاص محاكم الأحداث في كل من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية ودولة الكويت، مبيّنةً مواطن التشابه والاختلاف في كلا النظامين القانونيين. هدفت الدراسة إلى تقييم أسس الاختصاص الخاصة بمحاكم الأحداث في الولايات المتحدة والكويت. تبنت الدراسة المنهج التحليلي المقارن؛ حيث قامت بتحليل السوابق القضائية للمحكمة الفيدرالية العليا الأمريكية والنصوص التشريعية الكويتية، وانتهت إلى وجود أحكام قانونية في النظام القانوني في الولايات المتحدة لا يعرفها المشرع الكويتي، كما انتهت إلى أنه لا يوجد ما يمنع من تبني هذه الأحكام في النظام القانوني الكويتي، ومنها تبني الاختصاص المتزامن مع جرائم الأحداث بين محاكم الأحداث ومحاكم البالغين، ومنها أيضًا إتاحة سلطة التنازل القضائي والتشريعي عن الاختصاص من قبل محكمة الأحداث في بعض الحالات لمحاكم البالغين. تميزت الدراسة بالحداثة؛ كون الأداة التشريعية - محل التقييم - هو قانون الأحداث الكويتي الصادر عام 2015، وكون أسس الاختصاص، التي سلطت الدراسة عليها الضوء، منها ما هو جديد، ومنها ما هو غير معلوم بالنسبة إلى أنظمة الأحداث العربية؛ بما يجعل هذه الدراسة متسمة بالجدّة والفائدة للفقه والتشريع العربي.

This paper is based on my study of a few holdings in Malabar with regard to the economics of paddy cultivation. It has been my experience in the course of the investigation, which is being conducted under the auspices of the Madras University, to find the people mostly indifferent and sometimes critical about the doings of the Agricultural Department. The causes of such indifference, as I see them, are presented in this article.
