Authors: Dahal Rewan Kumar
Published: December 2022

Organizational effectiveness is primarily about assessing an organization's performance using several criteria. This study aims to determine Nepalese telecommunications companies' organizational effectiveness using a performance score based on the most crucial non-financial performance metrics (namely, context, focus, integration, and interactivity). The quantitative research strategy was utilized to extract the information from the designated working delegates of the Nepalese telecommunication industry. The study employed a probability sampling technique, and the quantitative data were obtained using an organized questionnaire survey to compute the performance scores of the sample organizations and the industry as a whole. The findings revealed that Nepal Telecom's score was 58.40 (systematic) and Ncell's score was 69.54 (transforming), averaging the industry score was 61.43. Such scores represent the extent to which the Nepalese telecommunication industry has applied non-financial performance measures to enhance organizational performance knowledge.
Girasol: respuesta a la aplicación foliar de boro en suelos del litoral suroeste de Uruguay

Published: December 2022

Si bien el área de siembra del cultivo de girasol (Helianthus annus L.) en Uruguay se redujo en la última década, se está promocionando la siembra de girasol para destinar el aceite a la producción de biodiesel. El girasol es un cultivo particularmente sensible a la deficiencia de boro (B) por lo cual el nutriente puede ser necesario para maximizar el rendimiento. En Argentina se ha encontrado respuesta a B foliar en girasol, pero no se dispone de información sobre el tema en Uruguay. Se instaló una serie de doce experimentos a campo en suelos representativos del litoral suroeste, cuya concentración de B osciló entre 0,45 y 1,19 μ g-1. Los tratamientos consistieron en aplicaciones foliares de 300, 600 y 900 g ha-1 de B al estado de botón floral y un control. Ni el rendimiento ni el contenido de aceite mostraron aumentos significativos por la aplicación de boro. Sin embargo, en tres sitios el rendimiento disminuyó con la dosis de 900 g B ha-1 (P<0,10). Los resultados indican que los suelos usados en este estudio tendrían un suministro adecuado de B para el girasol. Se concluyó que es poco probable encontrar respuesta a B en este tipo de suelo y que de aplicarse una dosis preventiva ésta no debería exceder 340 g ha-1 de B para evitar riesgos de toxicidad.> <0,10). Los resultados indican que los suelos usados en este estudio tendrían un suministro adecuado de B para el girasol.

Plant-derived Molecules for the Treatment of Tuberculosis: A Review
Authors: Yadav Meena , Sharma Poonam
Published: December 2022

Synthetic anti-TB drugs are being used to treat tuberculosis (TB) as they are effective, however, they are accompanied by many side effects. The disease has remained largely uncured till date. The use of plant extracts or phytochemicals along with the anti-TB drugs is a very attractive strategy to make the treatment more effective as phytochemicals have no side-effects, are much less toxic than synthetic anti-TB drugs, are safe to use and most importantly, do not produce resistant strains as opposed to synthetic anti-TB drugs. Approximately 420,000 plant species have been identified globally and among them only a few have been explored for their therapeutic potential. Traditional medicine in different parts of the world has employed crude extracts of several plant species to cure tuberculosis. Several anti-TB phytochemicals have been found in plants that are identified to have therapeutic qualities.  These phytochemicals are majorly glycosides, flavonoids, triterpenes, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, flavonoids, diterpenoid, lipids, tannins, sterols etc. by nature. They are either antimycobacterial or act synergistically with anti-TB drugs and reduce their adverse effects. Phytochemicals ameliorate the symptoms either by reducing the oxidative stress in the afflicted tissues or by regulating the inflammatory response. Hence, plant derived molecules have great potential to be used for the alternative treatment strategy for TB in future.

Published: December 2022

Anaemia is a crucial issue among cancer patients and need to be treated properly. High incidence of anaemia in patients with cancer have been associated with several physiological manifestations, leading to decreased quality of life (QOL).
The current study aimed to assess the severity of anaemia, evaluate the current treatment guideline of anaemia, and to determine the association between the level of anaemia and its treatment on quality of life of breast cancer patients in Malaysia. This prospective study conducted among breast cancer patients in multicancer centers in Malaysia including three follow ups after receiving their chemotherapy. Clinical data were collected from their medical records and at each follow up, they asked to fill up a functional assessment chronic therapy (FACT-An) questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were done using SPSS.
 The mean age of participants was 52 ± 11 years old, and out of 120 participants, 32% received anti-anaemic treatments including 87% of them were prescribed with iron supplementation and only 13% received combination of blood transfusion and iron therapy. Surprisingly, none of the participants received erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs). Statistical tests also indicated a significant association between anti-anaemic treatments with haemoglobin level and QOL scores. However, this association was insufficient to significantly improve QOL or palliate anaemia severity among participants.
This study showed a great evidence that, the current practice of anaemia treatment (iron therapy) among breast cancer patients in Malaysia’s healthcare setting, was not sufficient to palliate anaemia severity or to improve patients’ QOL. There is still a lot of gaps to improve in the management of anaemia among breast cancer patients to show a significant improvement in haemoglobin level. Therefore, respective organisations and oncologists are required to raise awareness about the optimal treatment of anaemia among breast cancer patients, as a result, improve their general wellbeing

Published: December 2022

In the Rostov region, among cereal crops, winter wheat occupies a leading position in terms of the sown area. Breeders have developed wheat varieties, a productivity potential of which is 1.5–2 times higher than their actual yield in production. One of the most important factors that can destabilize gross grain harvests and reduce productivity are parasitic organisms, the most dangerous of which are rust pathogens (Puccinia triticina, P.striiformis, P.graminis). Brown rust (pathogen Puccinia triticina Erikss.) is one of the dangerous wheat diseases. The genetic diversity of cultivated varieties according to resistance types and genes that control it, provides reliable wheat protection against this pathogen. The purpose of the current study was to identify leaf rust resistance genes (Lr-genes) using marker selection for the winter bread wheat lines. The study was carried out in 2020–2021. The objects of research were 311 winter bread wheat lines of the FSBSI Agricultural Research Center «Donskoy». In the study of winter bread wheat lines, there were used such methods as DNA isolation using CTAB, PCR, and electrophoresis on agarose gels. Using molecular markers, there have been identified 24 samples with a functional allele of the Lr10 gene (1672, 518/21 (1), 595/21 (1) 595 (4), 625/21, 626/21, etc.), 49 samples with the dominant allele Lr26 (1105, 502/21, 526/21 (1), 526/21 (2), 529/21 (12), 557/21, etc.), 13 lines with the resistance allele of the Lr37 gene (1105, 1609, 1610, 1611, 1612, 1613, 1615, etc.). There was also found that the Lr17a gene was not detected in the studied lines.

Published: December 2022

There has been shown a main direction of winter rye breeding in the institution. There have been described the main stages of this process. There has been reported that the reduction in the length of the stem at the first stage due to the use of sources of short stems made it possible to increase the productivity level of the developed varieties on 17.2 %, and lodging resistance on 32.0 %. In order to compensate for the significant reduction of the assimilation surface area due to a stem length decrease as a main assimilating organ in rye, and to increase the role of leaves in this process, there have been developed the varieties with high resistance to a group of diseases, including leaf ones. In order to increase productivity and its stability, there were subsequently developed and used the large-leafy forms with an erectoid orientation. As a result, a productivity potential of the varieties reached 9 or more tons per hectare. The late-term variety ‘Talovskaya 45’ developed as a result of long-term and purposeful breeding, has been characterized as highly productive, winter tolerant, resistant to lodging and drought. The variety has been recommended for cultivation in three regions, namely Central Blackearth, Central and Middle Volga. The productivity on variety testing plots in these regions during the years of trials averaged 5.25 t/ha, 4.50 t/ha and 4.52 t/ha, respectively, and the maximum yield was 8.92 t/ha. The excess of the new variety over the standard varieties reached 0.5 or more tons per hectare. There has been given a morpho-biological characteristics of the new variety. The purpose of the current study was to show the efficiency of further improvement of the plant architectonics in improving winter rye productivity, to tell the history of development and provide a description of the new variety.

Authors: Vasilchenko S. A. , Metlina G. V.
Published: December 2022

The current paper has presented the study results of the application of herbicides ‘Meister Power MD’; ‘Remus VDG’; ‘Dianat, VR’; ‘Sekator Turbo, MD’ as elements of maize cultivation technology in the southern part of the Rostov region. Field trials were carried out in 2019–2021. The object of the study was the maize hybrid ‘Zernogradsky 354MV’, (included in the State List of Breeding Achievements in the 6th (North Caucasian) region in 2010). The purpose of the study was an economic and agronomic estimation of the application of herbicides ‘Meister Power MD’; ‘Remus VDG’; ‘Dianat, VR’; ‘Sekator Turbo, MD’ in the southern part of the Rostov region when cultivating maize for grain. The soil of the experimental plot was ordinary calcareous heavy loamy blackearth (chernozem) on loess-like loams. The content of humus in the arable layer was 3.36 %, pH was 7.0, P2O5 was 24.4; K2O was 360 mg/kg of soil. The hydrothermal coefficient during a vegetation period of maize was 0.62 in 2019; 0.70 in 2020; 0.86 in 2021. Thus, during the study years, the humidification conditions were very arid. As a result of the conducted study, it was revealed that the application of herbicides ‘Meister Power MD’; ‘Remus VDG’; ‘Dianat, VR’; ‘Sekator Turbo, MD’ had a positive effect on the phytosanitary conditions of maize sowing. The weediness reduced on 95.3–97.1 %. The grain productivity increase due to the application of herbicides was significant and amounted to 0.28– 0.53 t/ha or 17.4–24.2 % compared with that of the control. The cost of the herbicide ‘Meister Power, MD’ (5670 rubles per hectare norm) did not contribute to its high payback. The maximum payback was identified in the variant with the complex application of herbicides ‘Remus, VDG’ + ‘Dianat, BP’ and amounted to 5.50 rubles/rub. The application of herbicides ‘Remus, VDG’ and ‘Sekator Turbo, MD’ was also cost-effective with a payback of 5.36 and 5.45 rubles/rub., respectively.
Menuju Gereja yang Sinodal: Memahami Gagasan Sinodalitas Sebagai Cara Hidup dan Cara Bergerak Gereja di Millenium Ketiga
Authors: Nampar Hilario Didakus Nenga
Published: December 2022

Abstract: This paper intends to explore the idea of synodality proposed by Pope Francis as the main theme of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in 2023. From the results of literature research, the author finds that the idea of synodality, in fact, is not new and does not even have a theological basis. The Holy Trinity and the Eucharist are the two theological foundations of the idea of synodality. So that the theme of synodality does not just stop at an idea and a dream, Pope Francis also provides explains the method and dangers during the synod process. The synod method, which can also be useful for the Church's pastoral method, is meeting, listening, and discernment. The danger in the synod process and the life of the Church is a formalism that is triggered by clericalism, intellectualism, and complacency. From the exploration of the two theological foundations and the discourse of Pope Francis regarding the idea of synodality, the primacy of God in the life of the Church, faith as the basis of true participation in the life of the Church, and mission as a consequence of faith, are three important things that need to be constantly considered so that the idea of synodality can be understood and applied appropriately.

Abstract: Plastic surgery to change the shape of the nose (rhynoplasty) is a controversy that is present today as knowledge increases in the field of medical technology, increasing aesthetic influence which presents new trends in influencing a person's shape and appearance. On the other hand, nose reconstruction (septoplasty) is also needed because of an accident, disease or certain conditions in the nose. This paper analyzes the issue of plastic surgery on the nose as an effort to provide an understanding of biblical ethics to place this phenomenon in accordance with Christian ethical principles. The goal is for God's people to consider biblical and ethical principles in making ethical decisions before undergoing plastic surgery. In this study, researchers used descriptive analysis methods and literature studies. The type of data used is in the form of various books and articles according to the theme of the discussion. Based on existing research, researchers found that nose specialist plastic surgery procedures must be carried out according to the conditions that occur and are supported by clear goals and motivation. Such as plastic surgery of the cetoplasty type which is mandatory for the method of healing the respiratory tract in the nose and plastic surgery of the rhinoplasty type which actually does not have to be done because it is contrary to God's will, and does not agree with the perspective of bioethics and Christian ethics. It is possible to do this surgical procedure, but it must be based on clear reasons and objectives, and supported by the unavailability of other options apart from how necessary this operation must be carried out.

Dasar Teologis bagi Implementasi Etos Global dalam Perspektif Kristen
Authors: Tanga Guidelbertus , Kirchberger Georg Ludwig
Published: December 2022

Abstract: This article departs from the declaration of the global ethos, which was declared by the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago, in 1993. It expresses the belief that many people can agree with the principles and values stated in it. After that the question is raised how this ethos can be implemented. To answer this question, the article follows the suggestion of Hans Küng, the initiator of the global ethos, that every religion should investigate its traditions, in order to find a deeper understanding of these values and the motivations that can help to develop attitudes that support these values. So in this article a description is made of the Christian tradition, of God’s law and the essence of sin as a force and as human action. Then the whole history of salvation is described as an attempt from God to introduce himself with His true face as God who wants humans to have life in all the abundance, which therefore can be trusted as the basis and guarantor of human life and existence. Finally follows the conclusion that this truth about God needs to be proclaimed by the Christian Church, so that in response to God’s actions and works, humans can become able to let go selfishness and compulsion to seek as much wealth and power for themselves as possible. So people can become capable of practicing the values as stated in the declaration of the global ethos.

Keywords: global ethos, parliament of world religions, God’s law, core power of sin, Paul’s theology, justification, covenant theology.
Психолінгвістична структура стигмальних висловлювань про осіб з інвалідністю внаслідок інтелектуальних порушень
Authors: Lozova Olga , Grubi Tamara , Starynska Nataliia , Palamarchuk Mykhailo
Published: December 2022

Вступ. Стаття присвячена дослідженню психолінгвістичної структури стигмальних висловлювань про осіб з інвалідністю внаслідок інтелектуальних порушень (ІВІП).

Мета. Теоретично та емпірично дослідити специфіку стигмальних висловлювань суб’єктів з інтелектуальною нормою щодо соціальної спільноти людей з інвалідністю внаслідок інтелектуальних порушень.

Методи. Використовувались методи вербального асоціативного експерименту, семантичного диференціала.

Результати. У дослідженні зафіксовано високу словотвірну продуктивність інвектив, пов’язаних із концептуальною сферою розумової недостатності. Крім стереотипізації, виявлено тенденцію до нормативізації вживання інвективної лексики щодо осіб з ІВІП, яка стає поширеним штампом мовної свідомості. Обидва факти свідчать про обмеженість мовленнєвого досвіду широкого загалу в номінації зазначеної групи, яка суттєво підкріплює суспільну стигматизацію останньої. Доведено, що типові висловлювання про осіб з ІВІП є переважно проявом психічного захисту інтелектуально збережених суб’єктів від людей із психічними особливостями, який чинить негативний стигмувальний вплив на цю соціальну групу. Внутрішньо-психологічним механізмом породження стигмальних висловлювань стосовно осіб з ІВІП є механізм зсуву значення на смисл – підведення особистісного смислу під поширене значення.  Емпірично експліковані захисно-негативістські, рефлексивні, ілюзорно-міфологічні, захисно-терапевтичні та субстантивно-метафоричні асоціації, а також психосемантичні фактори, що передбачають необхідність захисту від спільноти людей з ІВІП та відображають можливість загрози від її представників – вказують на інактивну, латентну форму фіксації ставлення до цієї групи. Будучи актуалізованою, ця форма ставлення набуває відкритого характеру, вивільняючи негативний потенціал реагування. З огляду на це стигмальну риторику нормотипових членів суспільства щодо осіб з ІВІП можемо кваліфікувати не лише як спосіб психічного захисту, але як словесну агресію в рамках конфліктогенної мовленнєвої поведінки за інвективною її стратегією.

Мета. Описати і презентувати розроблену співавторами нову наукову теорію – систему узагальнених фактів, знань і досвіду щодо розкриття різносторонності генезису психолінгвістичних явищ, властивих дітям дошкільного віку.

Методи. Використовувався комплекс теоретичних методів аналізу, дослідницького синтезу й узагальнення великої кількості джерел: по-перше, теоретичних і концептуальних підходів щодо дитячої мови і мовлення дітей та їх цілеспрямованого формування і розвитку; по-друге, емпіричних даних, отриманих як різними науковцями, які працюють у цій проблематиці, так і даних власних емпіричних досліджень.

Результати. Основні постулати розробленої нами теорії оволодіння L1 і розвитку мовлення представлені як інтеграція сучасних міждисциплінарних знань і практики дослідницької і проектної діяльності, синтезованих з науковою метою за сукупністю 14 модулів: (1) вектор розвитку мовленнєвих операцій і мовленнєвих дій; (2) місце і роль систематичного навчання в оволодінні L1 і розвитку мовлення; (3) роль імпліцитних мовних та інших видів знань у формуванні мовленнєвих операцій; (4) роль метамовних і метамовленнєвих знань, рефлексії над мовленням і об’єктивізації мови у формуванні мовленнєвих дій; (5) рівні усвідомлення у формуванні мовленнєвих дій; (6) співвідношення, у яких перебувають мовленнєві операції і дії та мовленнєві і мовні здібності, тобто мовні компетенції і мовленнєві компетентності; (7) взаємозумовленість мовних, психолінгвістичних і психологічних одиниць у розвитку мовленнєвої діяльності; (8) роль і місце психолінгвістичних одиниць у розвитку мовлення; (9) роль і місце психологічних одиниць у формуванні мовленнєвої діяльності; (10) роль і місце мовних одиниць у формуванні мовленнєвої діяльності; (11) взаємозв’язок мовленнєвої і навчальної діяльності; (12) психолінгвістичні передумови становлення мовленнєвої діяльності; (13) психолінгводидактичні умови цілеспрямованого формування мовленнєвої діяльності; (14) взаємозв’язок мовленнєвих операцій з іншими видами операцій.

Висновки. Презентована теорія – це внутрішньо не суперечлива система наукових уявлень, поглядів та ідей її розробників, що в узагальненій формі розкривають істотні властивості й закономірні зв’язки такої психолінгвістичної дійсності, як еволюція індивідуальної мови дошкільників і дитячого мовлення, на основі яких досягається їх пояснення. Ця теорія як інтегративна сукупність принципів не тільки відображає розуміння, представлені в світовій науці, а й ґрунтується на емпіричних дослідженнях, на глибокому проникненні в суть ґенези мовленнєвих явищ, що відбувається у психолінгвістичній природі дитини.
FUNDAMENTAÇÃO ONTOLÓGICO-KANTIANA DA DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA E O "ABANDONO" INTERNACIONAL
Authors: Oliveira Eric , Oliveira Jadson Correia de
Published: December 2022

Dentro do contexto jurídico-constitucional brasileiro tem-se adotado de forma pacificada uma fundamentação kantiana da dignidade da pessoa humana, importando na premissa de que a mesma é condição inerente e indissociável de toda a pessoa humana, compondo, pois um elemento do seu Ontos (seu ser). Entretanto tal concordância quanto o real sentido e alcance da dignidade da pessoa humana, não se observa na produção acadêmico-científica que muito vem combatendo tal hegemonia quanto à sua fundamentação, o que faz nascer o seguinte questionamento: Seria a fundamentação ontológico-kantiana da dignidade da pessoa humana uma característica universal ou um elemento axiológico atribuído tão somente aos membros do “bando” dos países ocidentais, ao arrepio dos sujeitos “abandonados”? Para a solução de tal questionamento lançar-se-á uma leitura fundamentada, sobretudo, nas premissas do pensamento de Giorgio Agamben a respeito da figura dos: bandos, do ato de abandonar e do Homo Sacer (homem sacrificável). Utilizou-se da revisão bibliográfica teórica e do método lógico dedutivo. Verificou-se que, através da semiótica proposta, o abandono, ou seja, o exercício do poder soberano capaz de afastar um indivíduo, ou mesmo nações, da titularidade de Direitos fundamentais e da dignidade da pessoa humana são grandes óbices a uma dignidade ontologicamente fundamentada.

EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THERMAL PROPERTIES OF A SCREW ELECTRO-MECHANICAL HYDROLYZER FOR PROCESSING POULTRY BY-PRODUCTS
Authors: Zablodskiy N. , Kovalchuk S.
Published: December 2022

Poultry farming is one of the key players in agriculture, but as a result of the activity of this industry, an excessively large amount of waste, mainly feathers, is generated. Feathers are valuable keratin raw materials for processing. One of the most effective methods of processing feather waste on an industrial scale is the hydrothermal hydrolysis method. Increasingly, hydrothermal hydrolysis of poultry by-products is performed in a screw electromechanical hydrolyzer. The screw electromechanical hydrolyzer is characterized by its versatility, and the mechanical forces arising during operation improve the mixing and heat transfer processes. Temperature control during hydrothermal hydrolysis in a screw electromechanical hydrolyzer is extremely important, so the study of this work is relevant.The purpose of this work is an empirical study of the thermal properties of a screw electromechanical hydrolyzer. To achieve this goal, a screw electromechanical hydrolyzer was developed for the processing of poultry by-products.The objects of the study were selected: a self-regulating heating cable SRF 30-2CR with a power of 30 W/m and a length of 1 m for preheating raw materials, a ring micanite, 1.2 kW, 230V for the main heating and two single-phase stators, 720 W for magnetic field exposure. Measurements were carried out in a closed room with an ambient temperature of 24 oC for 15 minutes using an infrared pyrometer BENETECH GM533A. Control of the upper limit of the heating temperature is carried out using a TENSE DT-36E digital thermostat with a J-type thermocouple.According to the results of the study, the dependence of the temperature of the research objects on time was obtained. The obtained results make it possible to state that the proposed screw electromechanical hydrolyzer is capable of maintaining the necessary temperature parameters for hydrothermal hydrolysis of poultry by-products.

Published: December 2022

As the conducted studies show, deviations and asymmetry of the outside have the greatest impact on the electric drives of production machines and mechanisms.Voltage asymmetry leads to losses that have an electromagnetic and technological component.Studies on the effect of voltage asymmetry on the technological characteristics of working machines and mechanisms have shown that their productivity decreases with voltage asymmetry. However, there are no studies on the influence of spring asymmetry on the energy characteristics of working machines.The purpose of the study is to establish the effect of voltage asymmetry on the energy characteristics of belt conveyors.With voltage asymmetry, constant and variable losses in an asynchronous electric motor change.It is proposed to carry out an energy evaluation of the electric drive of the belt conveyor according to the specific consumption of electricity.The influence of voltage asymmetry on the energy characteristics of belt conveyors was studied. The dependence of the specific power consumption on the change in stiffness of the mechanical characteristics of the electric motor, which is caused by voltage asymmetry, is obtained. It was established that slippage and power losses increase with voltage asymmetry. As a result, specific losses of electricity in the electric drive of belt conveyors increase.

Published: December 2022

Modern microclimate systems for keeping poultry require new approaches. Air cooling and heating systems in the poultry house environment require significant water and energy resources. Therefore, the authors proposed an energy-efficient microclimate system in poultry houses using low-potential water energy from the use of shell and tube heat exchangers and soil heat exchangers. Among the included control parameters, the most important are the temperature in the room, the amount of harmful substances and air humidity. The amount of pollutants in the air is determined by the amount of air entering the room and the number of animals in it. When creating a mathematical model of the ventilation system in the poultry house, a material balance of harmful substances is created. One of the important factors is air consumption. Approximate functions of the required air exchange, as well as the required amount of water depending on the temperature of the outside air, were found. Depending on the required water consumption, the heat exchangers will be connected to work in autonomous mode using magnetic valves. One by one. At an outside air temperature of +23 ºС, it is necessary to use three heat exchangers with a water consumption of 2.5 m3/h. And in the temperature range from +35 ºС to +40 ºС, six heat exchangers with a water consumption of 57 to 108 m3/h are needed. A simulation model of heat and mass exchange in poultry houses in the summer period of the year was developed using heat exchange equipment in the MATLAB Simulink software complex. The indoor humidity change time constant will be equal to the time required to establish the indoor humidity set point once the humidity change rate is equal to the initial one. Model studies showed that the constant duration heating is 118.4 s. The productivity of the ventilation system is expressed as an approximate function and ranges from 36,000 to 170,000 m3/h. In fact, the simulation model system stabilizes in the summer period of the year in terms of temperature and humidity for up to 1000 seconds. Relative humidity is 60 %.

The relevance of the study presented is conditioned upon the fact that the current national policy of control and supervision, including industrial safety, is designed to detect and prevent violations of the permissible level of danger for people and the environment by entities engaged in economic activities. The purpose of this study is to analyse occupational risks in enterprises and to explore new approaches, methodologies and ways of improving the assessment of occupational risks in production facilities. The methodological foundation of the study is based on a combination of various general scientific methods of scientific knowledge: analysis and synthesis of information, comparative method, and methods of induction and deduction. Improving the state of occupational safety requires improving the principles of occupational safety management. In addition, an assessment of the risk to the life or health of employees from economic activity should be performed and defined as the product of the probability of one accident per year and the probable number of lost working days per employee during the year. The study identified that workplace risk assessment should be re-evaluated whenever changes are expected in the company that may affect safety, such as new processes, new equipment, new materials, or changes in the work organisation or the work environment. The steps of risk assessment are clarified, the means of eliminating or reducing the risk are identified. It was demonstrated that a risk assessment should be developed and used to help employers or managers, and it was emphasised that once risks and dangers have been identified, appropriate action should be implemented with proper legal compliance. The practical significance of the presented research is that it can be used both in practice and for studying the theory of occupational risk assessment at enterprises.

The aim of the current research is to identify the level of perceptions of science teachers at the secondary stage in the city of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, on the nature of science in the light of some variables. The Nature of Science Questionnaire-C (VNOS-C) developed by (Lederman et al., 2002) was applied to them. Data were analyzed by using the mean, standard deviation, percentage, independent two-sample T-test, and one-way ANOVA, followed by LSD test to determine the direction of statistically significant differences. The research reached the following results: the existence of sufficient conceptions of the concepts of the empirical basis of scientific knowledge, scientific knowledge based on evidence and exploration, the cumulative and changing nature of science, and scientific knowledge based on and dependent on application. Partial perceptions of concepts of scientific knowledge that include imagination and creativity, and scientific knowledge are integrated into the cultural and societal factors of society and the difference between scientific theory and law. The research did not find statistically significant differences for the concepts of the nature of science attributed to specialization, gender or teaching experience, except that: there are statistically significant differences in the concept of scientific knowledge based on evidence and exploration for the benefit of science teachers with specialization (physics) compared to other disciplines, as well as the presence of statistically significant differences in the concept of total knowledge of the concepts of the nature of science attributed to the teaching experience, and in favor of science teachers with years of teaching experience (more than 15 years), and there were statistically significant differences in the concept of scientific knowledge, including imagination and creativity, and in favor of the category (more than 15 years) compared to other experience categories. The research recommended the necessity of creating the necessary conditions and capabilities to raise the level of knowledge of science teachers about the nature of science.
