Authors: Shlair Lateef Mezaal  , Dunia Tahir Hameed
Published: February 2023

Spaced Repetition have been used as a strategy in teaching phrasal verbs for secondary school students. It helps the students of all ages to remember what they have studied in classroom. This strategy helps the students to keep their memory active all the time and make them save a big amount of information in order to use it when they need. This strategy can be considered as a revision to what they learn before. The present study aims to find out the effect of using spaced repetition strategy (hence for: SRS) on teaching phrasal verbs for Iraqi secondary school students and they can get benefits from this strategy by: 1. Finding out whether there is any significant difference between the students' achievement of the experimental group and that of the control group in English phrasal verbs in the posttest. 2. Finding out whether there is any significant difference between the students' achievement at the recognition level and that of the production level of the posttest. A sample of (60) female students were chosen randomly from the second stage of secondary school at Dar Al-Salam School for Girls in Al-Dhuluiya district in Salah Al-Din Governorate during the first semester of the academic year (2021-2022), from which (60) female students were selected, and they were divided into two equal groups according to Both groups were equalized in terms of their age, educational attainment of the parents, and their score in the English language subject in the previous grade of the academic year (2020-2021).

Published: February 2023

Background: Ankle sprain is the most common injury in the world of sports and anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is most commonly affected. It is often underestimated, mismanaged and often result in delayed treatment, prolonged recovery times and long-term sequela. PRP may have enhancing effect on healing of partial tear of ATFL. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the role of PRP on partial tear of ATFL.
Methods: A randomized controlled trail was done among athletes with partial tear of ATFL who visited Department of Sports Medicine, RIMS, Imphal during January 2021 – June 2022. Patients with MRI diagnosed partial tear of ATFL (N=48) randomized into PRP injection plus rehabilitation, (n=24) and rehabilitation alone, (n=24) groups. The outcomes were compared using Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) score for function and Visual analogue scale for pain at baseline, 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th weeks respectively.
Results: Baseline characteristics were not statistically significant. There was statistically significant improvement seen in within the group comparison from baseline to 2nd, 6th, 12th and 24th weeks in both FADI and VAS in both the groups. There were statistically significant difference in mean changes of VAS and FADI score between the two groups from baseline to 2nd (p=0.007);(p=0.012), 6th (p=0.018);(p=0.009) and 12th (p=0.004); (p=0.001) follow-ups respectively with PRP group having more improvement however no significant difference at 24th weeks.
Conclusion: Ultrasound guided PRP injection along with standard rehabilitation program might be a treatment of choice for partial ATFL tear.

Authors:   Institute of Regional Economics Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Pesotskiy Andrey А.
Published: February 2023

The socio-economic system of Russia and its regions has faced two shocks in recent years – restrictions caused by the pandemic coronavirus in 2020 and sanctions imposed in spring 2022. In these conditions, the need to form methods for forecasting economic shocks that can respond to the emerging challenges becomes more relevant. The article provides an analysis of economic shocks as a phenomenon, and offers some approaches to assessing the shock impact, applied both abroad and in Russia. Shocks to Russian regions are investigated using the principal component analysis (PCA) and R-statistics tool (R programming language). As a result, three clusters are identified, which include subjects of the Russian Federation, based on the degree of damage caused by restrictive measures at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Conclusions are drawn on the possibilities of improving the tools for assessing economic shocks at the macro- and meso-levels.

A quantitative spatial methodology for delimiting historical centers - an application in Guarda, Portugal
Authors: Soares Maria , Fonseca Fernando , Ramos Rui
Published: February 2023

A historical center can be defined as the oldest part of a city where a significant part of the building stock dates back to the early stages of urban growth. Historical centers often contain special urban fabrics with unique, historic, social and cultural identity. Owing to this, they have been subject to special urban planning interventions in order not only to protect the existing urban fabric and its originality, but also to revert depopulation and built deterioration processes aiming to make these old centers attractive and functional again. However, in the inter-urban domain, there is a deficit of spatial planning research, and the delimitation of historical centers is a topic that has been under explored. This paper describes a morphological approach for delimiting the historical center of Guarda, Portugal. Methodologically, the work uses building stock-age data from eight periods between <1919 to 2011 and is supported by both statistical and spatial analysis. Statistically, the urban evolution of the city was analyzed through threshold values and five novel building indexes. Spatially, the work involved disaggregated GIS analysis to map the evolution of built-up areas and to identify the consolidated urban areas. A sensitivity analysis was also performed to assess the influence of some parameters on the obtained boundary. Results indicated that the historical center of Guarda was consolidated in the 1960s and, since then, has been relatively unchanged. The obtained boundary shows a suitable spatial adjustment considering the consolidated urban area and the official boundary included in the Urban Rehabilitation Area.
Bayesian location estimation of mobile devices using a signal strength model
Authors: Tennekes Martijn , Gootzen Yvonne
Published: February 2023

Mobile network operator (MNO) data are a rich data source for various topics in official statistics, such as present population, mobility, migration, and tourism. Estimating the geographic location of mobile devices is an essential step for statistical inference. Most studies use Voronoi tessellation for this, which is based on the assumption that mobile devices are always connected to the nearest radio cell. We propose an alternative location estimation method following a Bayesian approach and using a physical model for the received signal strength. Our Bayesian framework allows for different modules of prior knowledge about where devices are expected to be, and different modules for the likelihood of connection given a geographic location. We discuss and compare the use of several prior modules, including one that is based on land use. For the likelihood module we propose a signal strength model using radio cell properties such as antenna height, propagation direction, and power. Using Bayes' rule, we derive a posterior probability distribution that is an estimate of the geographic location, which can be used for further statistical inference. We describe the method and provide illustrations of a fictional example that resembles a real-world situation. The method has been implemented in the R packages mobloc and mobvis, which are briefly described.

La renovación de la Venerable Tercera Orden de Santo Domingo y su impacto en la ciudad de México a finales del siglo XVII
Authors: Jiménez Gómez Ram´`ón
Published: February 2023

En este artículo abordo un tema que ha sido poco trabajado en nuestra historiografía: me refiero a las terceras órdenes, específicamente a la dominica. Examino crónicas, documentos de archivo y bibliografía de diversa índole. Analizo la importancia que tuvo esta institución en la ciudad de México durante los últimos años del siglo XVII. Elegí esta temporalidad porque es el periodo en que la Tercera Orden de Santo Domingo tuvo presencia en la capital del virreinato novohispano. A lo largo del texto, considero por qué los terciarios dominicos tuvieron un auge justo en esos años; para ello resalto la trascendencia que tuvo en este proceso la canonización de la limeña santa Rosa de Lima, notable tercera dominicana. Asimismo, indago en la relevancia que tuvieron algunas familias (por ejemplo los Medina Picazo y los Herrera) o algunos individuos (como Gonzalo Meléndez Carreño) en la consolidación de esta institución. Finalmente, se tratan las devociones que fomentaron y algunos problemas a los que se enfrentaron.

Published: February 2023

Rust disease caused by Uromyces Setaria is a serious airborne disease of foxtail millet that causes a considerable reduction in grain yield under severe infection. An attempt was made to manage the rust disease using fungicides, natural formulations and bioagents under field conditions. The present investigation was undertaken at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (ANGRAU), Nandyal, Andhra Pradesh, India to evaluate different fungicides (six), natural formulations (two) and bioagent (one)for effective management of rust disease for three consecutive rabi seasons during 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21. The experimental results indicated that the least percent disease index of 7.9 per cent was recorded with Hexaconazole (0.2%) and mean grain yield (1,585 kg/ha) with a 46.25 percent improvement in grain yield when compared with untreated control over three years of data. It was followed by 8.0 percent disease control achieved in continuous spray with Mancozeb at 10 days interval starting 30 days after sowing, which resulted in a 46.25 percent increase in grain yield (1,585 kg/ha) and Difenoconazole 25EC (Score @ 0.1 percent) with a percent disease index of 9.03 per cent and a 46.82 percent increase in grain yield (1,602 kg/ha). The natural formulations and bioagent has shown to be least effective in controlling rust disease compared to chemical fungicides, Among these, Neem seed Kernel Extract (5%) was found to be better with PDI of 25.1% compared other two treatments (Butter milk + Asafoetida and Pseudomonas fluorescens @10g/l. Two fungicides, i.e Difenoconazole and Hexaconazole were proven to be successful in reducing rust and offering marginal farmers in a cost-effective mode.The findings could aid in the development of rust management strategies in India, such as fungicide rotation and strategic fungicide treatment.

Ichthyofaunal diversity in Jia Bharali River of Assam, Northeast India, has been carried out from September 2018 to March 2021. The study emphasized the documentation of fish faunal diversity in relation to water parameters of previously undocumented ecological pockets of Himalayan foothill zones of north-bank landscapes of Assam. Study revealed altogether 69 fish species belonging to 6 orders and 20 families in Jia Bharali River. Cypriniformes was the most dominant (42 species) order followed by Siluriformes (14 species), Perciformes (8 species), Synbranchiformes (3 species), whereas, Beloniformes and Clupeiformes support one species each. The highest species diversity was found in Site-1 (H’ = 3.76) whereas, in terms of seasons, the highest species diversity was found in retreating monsoon (H’ = 3.80). Among the 69 species of fish, 56 species (81.16%) were IUCN categorized as Least Concern, 6 were Not Evaluated (8.7%), two species were Near Threatened (2.90%), three were Data Deficient (4.34%), and one species each was Endangered (1.45%) and Vulnerable (1.45%) respectively. Analysis of the relationships between water parameters and ichthyofaunal diversity showed a positive correlation between increasing dissolved oxygen and species richness. Water temperature and pH showed a positive correlation with species abundance in the study area.

POST-2005 TURBULENT JOURNEY TOWARDS DEMOCRACY. THE ERDOĞANISATION OF TURKEY
Authors: Matos André
Published: February 2023

Turkey-EU relations have been very unstable over the last decades. Since 2005 the leverage power of the European Union started to reveal signs of stagnation or lack of effectiveness. Simultaneously, Turkey’s democratic performance has tangibly weakened. 

This article postulates that Turkey has worsened its democratic performance since 2005 due to an internal dynamic of a growing authoritarianism and the subsequent drifting apart from the EU. In other words, the Erdoğanisation of Turkey hindered its Europeanisation and democratisation processes.

In order to assess the validity of this statement, methods such as literature review, official documents’ analysis and quantitative analysis will be used. It will be privileged a hermeneutical approach that underlines the phenomena’s interpretation through a hypothetical-deductive reasoning strategy. 

In terms of structure, this article will be divided as follows: a first section will be devoted to briefly revise Turkey-EU relations, especially considering the breaking point of 2005; the second part will focus on an analysis of the evolution of Turkish democratic performance, including a quantitative approach; and the third section, before the final considerations and reflections, will introduce the concept of Erdoğanisation, attempting to understand its role in the country’s developments over the last decade.

Women’s writing in English began to appear soon after the poems, stories and novels all  came  together,  although  sporadic  and  hesitant.The  larger  changes  in  intellectual, socio-cultural  reconstruction,  and  multi-dimensional of Women’s image, role and status that  were  part  of  the  widespread  social  movements  of  the  entire  19thcentury  gave Women’s writing clear focus and purpose. Indian English literature has been making great strides during the last few decades thereby attracting the international attention. In fact,  the  post-independence  period  in  the  history  of  Indian  English  writing  is  generally equated with the modern period. It must be said in the light of all considerations that the post-independence  Indo-English  prose  and  poetry  has  characteristics  which  make  it distinctive and different from the writing of the earlier period.The post-1947 era, that is the period after India gained independence, is marked by the country‘s search for her own identity  as  a  new-born  nation  in  the  modern  world.

Population growth has forced the planet to rethink attitudes towards sustainability. Meeting current and future human needs is a major challenge, as it involves trying to balance the exploitation of natural resources while meeting society's needs. This challenge becomes even greater when an exponential increase in population is observed. In this sense, one of the human needs is food, and therefore the production of beef has been the focus of study by environmentalists, due to the large occupation of areas. Thus, the main objective of this study is to understand consumer expectations according to different institutional logics and to identify the most adapted Industry 4.0 technologies to meet these requirements. For this, a bibliographical survey of the technologies used in the sector and the consumer's view of socio-environmental changes was carried out. It was observed in the results that there is a continuous need to use technologies in agriculture for monitoring, since the number of consumers concerned about the origin of the meat and an ecologically correct production has increased.

The use of drone can be a viable way of detecting and correcting errors in a timely manner, thus avoiding accidents on the construction sites. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can reduce the time spent in carrying out monitoring tasks, improve the overall performance of the project and streamline the reaction process to potential risks. The main objective of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to analyze the use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for safety inspection at construction sites. The articles were searched in 3 databases, restricting the publications of scientific articles in the field of engineering in the last 10 years, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, resulting in 29 articles. From the SLR, it was possible to identify the advantages of using drones to improve activities related to the safety of construction sites, as well as to identify dangerous situations, identify the ideal use techniques and identify barriers to the use of drones for inspection of construction sites. The improvement in safety performance arising from the use of UAVs reduces accidents at construction sites, and, therefore, reduces injuries and disabilities generated by such accidents.

The article dialogues with studies on race relations in basic education and with studies on implementation of educational policies and presents the results of qualitative research that aimed to identify and measure the available evidence of implementation of anti-racist educational practices in 86 public elementary schools in the city of São Paulo based on the analysis of their political-pedagogical projects. The methodology was based on the analysis of the content of these documents using the instrument Matrix for the Evaluation of the Political Pedagogical Project - Anti-Racist Education in Elementary Education (MAP³- EAEF). The results indicate that the evidence of the work to combat racism in school available in the Political Pedagogical Projects is fragile and insufficient. In particular, the commitment to objective goals of racial equity between blacks and non-blacks is not very explicit in the documents analyzed.

Better Together: What we get wrong about kindness
Authors:   Character Lab, Zaki Jamil
Published: February 2023

What does it mean to be kind, and why is it so important? Kindness is any action that you perform that’s not designed just to help yourself, but to improve the well-being of somebody else. That can include acts of cooperation where two people mutually benefit, like working on a project together.
The Muscle-Readers, a Historical Sketch
Authors:   Leverage Research, Research Leverage
Published: February 2023

The notion that subtle nonverbal cues play an important role in social interaction is relatively uncontroversial. What the upper bounds of this capacity might be, however—how much and what kind of information can be conveyed through these channels—remains unclear and, at present, under-explored. In the present work, we consider possible answers to the question and ways in which it could be addressed by considering an historical line of investigation known as muscle reading. Spurred by public interest in mentalism and the specific popularity of thought-readers, researchers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries began investigating the possibility that information about our thoughts and inclinations could be “read” from muscle tension, unconscious vocalizations, and other subtle cues. While covering some of the same ground as contemporary research on nonverbal communication, the literature of this era contains many reports that go well beyond this. Feats such as locating a hidden object, guessing the suit of a card, and determining words or names held in another’s mind were said to be achieved in controlled conditions or by academic researchers themselves. In some cases, subtle but telling movements were also said to be captured by early biometric apparatuses. While we believe that such claims should be interpreted with caution, we contend that the reports of these early researchers should not be dismissed merely because of their age and that a better understanding of this literature offers important leads for investigators today.
The Urgence of Teacher's Example for Student Education in School
Authors: Nurhuda Abid , Putri Yulita
Published: February 2023

Education is designed to form students who have high moral ethics and character both individually and socially. The character of the students themselves can be formed by the teacher through the way of speaking, tolerance, conveying material and example while at school. In addition, technology has also contributed to the news lately ranging from oppression, hostility, to bringing each other down. The problem describes the phenomenon of moral decline which is very concerning, so that a solution is needed, one of which is the exemplary attitude of the teacher to his students. So the purpose of this study is to describe the urgency of teacher exemplary for student education in schools. The method used is qualitative with a literature study approach followed by documentation techniques when data collection is then analyzed and finally concluded. The results of the study indicate that the Urgency of Teacher Exemplary for Student Education in Schools is more dominant in instilling their character either directly (formally) from words, actions and ways of dressing or indirectly (non-formally) starting from wisdom, tolerance, to sincerity.

Moderata Fonte'sFloridoro: Invoking Dante to Refashion the Myth of Circe
Authors: Andreoni Giulia
Published: February 2023

In Floridoro (1581), Moderata Fonte exposes literary tropes that undermine women. She revises the narrative of Ulysses so that the original misdeed comes not from Circe but rather from Ulysses himself, who seizes the sorceress's powers and abandons both her and their daughter Circetta. In refashioning the myth, Fonte relies on Dante's representation of Ulysses as fraudulent and cunning in order to challenge the trope of the heroic knight, and she presents the island of Ithaca as another locus of hell, purgatory, and paradise. Her aim is to raise consciousness about the subjugating mechanisms that oppress women, and thus possibly break an ever-repeating infernal cycle.
The Language of Power: Casini and Bancheri's In-Depth Analysis of Italian in Immigration and Global Contexts
Authors: Danesi Marcel
Published: February 2023

This review article looks at a groundbreaking book in sociolinguistics by Simone Casini and Salvatore Bancheri, What Is the Language of Power? Theoretical Reflections on Italian, Italiese and Other Languages, which focuses on the forms and uses of Italian in immigrant communities, as well as the role of the Italian language in the global village in which we now reside. Based on research conducted on the kind of Italian that takes shape in immigrant communities, called “Italiese,” one of the main insights that can be gleaned from this penetrating book is that the language that emerges in immigrant communities is a product of creative mechanisms, enlisted unconsciously to render the native language (or dialect) adapted to solving everyday communicative problems that pertain to the new environment socially and conceptually. By making the English input conform to the native language, structurally and semantically, the result is a code that allows for direct access to the new reality on its own terms. The book also relates the ways in which Italiese is constructed and employed to the history of Italian itself, ending with a broad examination of the roles that the language should be playing in an international context today. As such, it provides an expansive theoretical framework for assessing the factors that contribute to making a language, such as Italian, an instrument of control over any environment, real or virtual—hence, a “language of power.”
Uma Experiência no Pibid de Geografia: percepção do aluno sobre o lugar de vivência e a pedagogia freireana
Authors: Giarola Lucas Luan , Zanin Gustavo Domingos
Published: February 2023

Este texto discute os resultados de práticas educativas, aplicadas em contexto de sequência didática, no âmbito do Pibid. As práticas buscaram conhecer o bairro Bela Vista, em São João del-Rei - MG, a partir da percepção dos estudantes que vivem no lugar. Nas práticas, buscou-se motivar e sensibilizar alunos a pensarem e a repensarem suas ações no ambiente escolar e na comunidade onde vivem, à luz da pedagogia freireana. Assim, foi solicitado que os educandos desenhassem lugares que gostam e não gostam em seu espaço de vivência, sendo considerados neste texto 16 desenhos. Como respostas ao que menos gostam, eles destacaram a falta de infraestrutura adequada no bairro (37,5%), a violência (12,5%), as questões ambientais (12,5%) e os problemas enfrentados no transporte público (6,25%). Quanto ao que mais gostam, foram citados espaços de lazer (25%), igrejas (25%) e a própria casa (18,75%), dentre outros. Esse resultado leva a pensar na forte ausência do Estado na periferia, evidenciada pela falta de infraestrutura, violência e escassez. Visando uma mudança nesse cenário, foram elaboradas cartas endereçadas ao prefeito, por parte dos estudantes, com suas reivindicações de melhorias. Essa experiência contribui, também, para entender e reforçar a importância do Pibid na formação do profissional professor.
