Authors: Putienko O.O. , Kornilov L.V. , Lavryk N.S.
Published: February 2024

Актуальність. Важливою причиною зниження зору, сліпоти, анатомічної загибелі очей, що завершується інвалідизацією, є ураження рогівки. Серед неінфекційних уражень рогівки найбільш часті — травматична ерозія, стороннє тіло (пік визначається в 40–49 років). Але під час воєнних дій збільшується частота травм у молодшому віці. Тому низка аспектів ургентного хірургічного лікування пошкоджень рогівки вимагають вивчення. Мета. Вивчити ефективність застосування операції лікувальної автотрансплантації склери при травматичних ураженнях рогової оболонки ока. Матеріали та методи. У дослідження включено 18 пацієнтів (18 очей), 13 чоловіків, 5 жінок (19–72 роки) з тяжкими деструктивними ураженнями рогівки травматичного походження (непроникні поранення рогівки та сторонні тіла, контузії), у тому числі ускладнені перфорацією рогівки — 6 (30 %) або із загрозою перфорації (десцеметоцеле) — 2 (11,1 %). Терміни звернення були 1–8 діб (у середньому 4,32 ± 2,74). Офтальмологічне обстеження включало: візометрію, біомікроскопію (флюоресцеїновий тест), фотореєстрацію, визначення внутрішньоочного тиску. Додатково визначали кількісно площу зони ураження (у мм2), глибину ураження (оптична когерентна томографія (ОКТ)). Лікування проводили із застосуванням антибіотиків широкого спектра дії, протизапальних та метаболічних препаратів та запропонованої операції лікувальної автосклеропластики рогівки. Висновки. 1. Використання запропонованої операції лікувальної автосклеропластики рогівки дає можливість закривати посттравматичні дефекти рогівки, у тому числі з перфорацією, будь-якої локалізації. Операція лікувальної автосклеропластики рогівки може застосовуватись у порядку ургентної допомоги, а також за відсутності матеріалу і умов для алотрансплантації рогівки. 2. Результати проведеного лікування підтверджують доцільність використання лікувальної автосклеропластики рогівки при її травматичних ураженнях. Загоєння рогівки при застосуванні лікувально-тектонічної кератопластики автосклеральним клаптем спостерігалося в 94,4 %, гострота зору збільшилась в 66,6 % очей. 3. Відзначено важливість застосування ОКТ для діагностики особливостей деструкції тканини рогівки, оцінювання позиціонування та адаптації клаптя при автотрансплантації склери.

Authors: Tomy Mariya , Ramlal Shylaja , Parida M.M. , Kingston Joseph
Published: February 2024

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus harbouring other virulence factors in food is a serious threat to food safety. Delayed detection of MRSA may lead to fatal consequences due to the challenging treatment methods. To address the issue, early prognosis is prerequisite. We report one step QuEChERS detection method wherein, a media with selective agents such as cefoxitin, cyanidin, lithium chloride and methicillin (CCLM) was formulated for the specific cultivation and detection of MRSA within 5 hours. Direct application of the newly developed method was tested by screening food for MRSA and its comparison with conventional biochemical and molecular characterization. Growth of MRSA in the CCLM media was observed within 4 hours. This highly specific method is sensitive to detect 104 CFU/mL visually and 101 CFU/mL spectrophotometrically. 25% of food samples harboured MRSA which points to an immediate need of consideration by the authorities. The newly designed QuEChERS cyanin based chromogenic detection system is unequivocal with the conventional and molecular method of MRSA detection and can be of great use in diagnostic and in food safety laboratories.
Biofilm Formation and Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of Candida Species Responsible for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis in Pregnant and Non-Pregnant Women visiting a Tertiary Care Hospital in Southern India
Authors: Rachel R. , Anuradha M. , Leela K.V.
Published: February 2024

Most bacteria and fungi are capable of producing biofilms, enabling them to thrive in nature on distinct surfaces. Biofilm formation stands out as one of the most prominent virulence mechanisms that contribute to the infection’s chronicity by functioning as a defense against antimicrobials and host immune systems. Microbial isolates capable of generating biofilms have been discovered to possess higher resistance to frequently administered antifungal drugs. In this research study, 91 Candida isolates from Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) patients were tested for biofilm development. Candida species were identified, and clinical isolates were tested for antifungal susceptibility (AST). Three methods were used to screen the isolates: the Congo agar method (CRA), the visual tube method (VT), and the Microtitre plate method (MTP). Nearly 60% of the 91 clinical isolates tested were recognized as Non-Albicans Candida (NCAC) species. Itraconazole resistance was shown to be the highest in clinical isolates, followed by Amphotericin B resistance. There were 11(12.09%) isolates that formed strong biofilms, 35(38.46%) isolates that formed moderate biofilms, and 45(49.45%) isolates that formed no biofilm. Because there is a growing incidence of NCAC in the study, it is critical to speciate the Candida species as NCAC are more resistant to routinely used azole medicines. Furthermore, a spike in the prevalence of biofilm producers has been reported, implying greater pathogenicity and antifungal resistance.
Impacts of Agricultural Practices (Pesticides and Fertilizers) and Amalnala Stream on Amalnala Lake in Gadchandur, India
Authors: Moon Utkarsh Ravindra , Durge Arpana Ashokrao , Wadhai Vijay S.
Published: February 2024

Amalnala lake is situated in the Gadchandur town of Chandrapur district in Maharashtra, India. The lake water was turning green in colour in the month of september. This study gives an insight into the causes and factors responsible for the greening of the lake adjacent to Manikgarh limestone mine in the month of September. It was noted that, phosphate concentration in lake water showed rise after July (2020, 2021) and peaked in August (2020, 2021). The phosphates were mainly contributed by organophosphate pesticides such as monocrotophos, profenofos, and chlorpyrifos, which were identified by liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS). The rise in phosphates showed complete correlation with the rainfall and chlorophyl a (chl a) content in September (2020, 2021). Similarly, the nitrate concentration of the lake showed peak in August (2020, 2021) followed by the rise in chl a content in September (2020, 2021). Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) of the lake was calculated and represented in terms of COD/BOD. The COD/BOD were highest in September (2020, 2021). Positive correlation was observed between the pH, total dissolved solids, and electrical conductivity of Amalnala Lake and Amalnala Stream which flows into the lake. This stream mainly carries the contaminants from open cast Manikgarh limestone mines to Amalnala Lake. Chl a was mainly contributed by two dominant species of cyanobacteria, Phormidium species CCALA 726 which was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and Microcystis aeruginosa which was identified by using the keys given by Desikachary and Komarek and Anagnostidis. This study thus concluded that the pesticides, nitrates, and Amalnala Stream contributed in the growth of cyanobacteria which causes the greening of the lake.
Pathogenic Factors of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli
Authors: Sajeena Tharakupeedikayil Abdul Majeed , Kalyanikutty Sudha
Published: February 2024

The Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are bacterial enteropathogens responsible for some intensive clinical syndromes such as bloody diarrhoea, hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and renal failure. These pathotypes come under the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) group. Monogastric farm animals such as pigs, horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys and aquatic animals like shellfish, fishes, and wild animals can act as major spillover hosts of STEC strains and could serve as the potential source of infection. The pathogen is notorious as a quickly emergent strain with acquired characteristics like different variants of Shigatoxin, many antibiotic degrading enzymes, Intimin, Enterohemolysin, Auto-agglutination Adhesins, Catalase-peroxidase, Zinc metalloprotease, Subtilase cytotoxin, tolerance to multiple adverse conditions, and biofilm formation. The bacteria are known for its long survival in different adverse physical-chemical conditions. The formation of biofilm is one of the major factors responsible for their persistence. Multidrug resistance is another related trait contributing to the high mortality rate of these strains. STEC strains are good candidates for studying the emergence of pathogens with acquired characteristics like genes. In this article, various virulent traits and multidrug resistance that enabled the strain to emerge as a serious public health menace were reviewed.
Molecular Detection of Carbapenemase-producing Uropathogens Isolated from Pregnant Women
Authors: Mazhari Bi Bi Zainab , Saiemaldahr Mohammed H.
Published: February 2024

Pregnant women are at high risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). There is growing concern about the rise of Enterobacteriaceae that are resistant to drugs, including, more recently, those that produce carbapenemase. The study aimed to perform molecular detection and antibiograms of Enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenemase in pregnant women with UTIs. Using clinical specimens taken from the general hospital in Qurrayat, Saudi Arabia, we identified 83 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae. Microscan WalkAway Plus and Phoenix automated analyzers were used to carry out bacterial isolation using standard microbiological procedures. DNA sequencing was employed to identify the carbapenemase bla genes, while phenotypic techniques and PCR were employed to characterize bacterial strains. The carbapenemase bla gene was detected among the 30 members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Of these 30, bla gene variants were found in 13 isolates (41%) blaOXA-23; 11 (35%) blaNDM-1; 10 (32%) blaNDM-5; 7 (22%) blaOXA-24; 4 (12%) blaVIM and 3 (9%) blaOXA-48. A statistically non-significant relationship between the blaNDM-1 and Klebsiella pneumoniae (p = 0.33) was seen, and the correlation between the blaNDM variants was not significantly associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (p = 0.5) and Escherichia coli (p = 0. 14). Antibiotic resistance was extremely common, as evidenced by the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in vitro of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae against a number of antibiotic groups. These bacterial strains exhibited minimal resistance to amikacin (14; 46.6%) and were not resistant to two aminoglycosides, namely Ertapenem (30; 100%) and Meropenem (30; 100%). Our investigation shows that many Enterobacteriaceae that produce carbapenemases are a serious risk for pregnant women and others in the community. As a result, alternatives for therapy are limited to the aminoglycosides Ertapenem and Meropenem.

Navigating the Nexus: Examining Job satisfaction, Sleep quality, and Well-being among Mental Health Professionals
Authors: Jha Aarti Kumar
Published: February 2024

Abstract: The research delves into the reciprocal dynamics between Job satisfaction, sleep quality, and Well-being within the realm of clinical psychologists. Examining a sample of professionals in the field, our study unveils a notable impact of job satisfaction on sleep quality, revealing that higher job satisfaction corresponds to decreased sleep quality. Concurrently, poor sleep quality exhibits a significant adverse effect on overall well-being among clinical psychologists. Further analysis exposes a nuanced relationship, as job satisfaction directly influences well-being and exerts a substantial indirect effect mediated by sleep quality. These findings underscore the intricate connections between occupational satisfaction, sleep quality, and mental wellbeing in the context of clinical psychologists, offering insights that can inform targeted interventions to enhance their overall mental health and work-life balance.
Review on Development of E-Waste Management System
Authors: Burange Dr. R. A.
Published: February 2024

Abstract: Today, the advancement of technology has the power to change everyone's life. Although this innovation is beneficial, it creates serious effects on human health and environmental health. One of the main reasons for this is "e-waste" resulting from electronic products. With the use of electronic products all over the world, the amount of "e-waste" or e-waste has also increased and this has now become a serious problem. Improper disposal of e-waste has become an environmental and public health problem as it now accounts for the largest portion of water litter in the world's cities. Therefore, correct classification and management of e-waste requires the recovery of important information about waste. These growing wastes are hard in nature and rich in metals such as neodymium, indium, palladium, tantalum, platinum, gold, silver, lead and copper, which can be recovered from discards and brought back to the earth. Production cycle and daily use. In this project, a deep learning model is used to identify e-waste and general waste using image processing. The design model, on the other hand, selects the waste with good accuracy and takes less time. Wastes are divided into two groups according to the amount or value in the waste. By using this model effectively, we can solve e-waste management problems, improve recycling and contribute to environmental sustainability.

Authors: Durga N. Venu Laxmi
Published: February 2024

Abstract: The employment of carbonate-producing bacteria as a new approach to enhance the qualities of concrete has attracted a lot of interest since it is thought to be innocuous to theenvironment, natural, and maybe advantageous. This is a result of the favorable implications attached to these traits. The use of microbially induced carbonate precipitation as a remedy for several problems affecting concrete, such as fracture healing, reduction and change of porosity and permeability, and more, has been the subject of much investigation. Concrete crack healing is one of the topics that have been researched. Additionally, it has been shown that the procedure of bacterial carbonate precipitation, also known as bio deposition, contributes to the development of concrete's compressive strength. There has not yet been a thorough investigation of the research relating to the appropriate bacterial solution dose and its effect on concrete durability. This might occur as a result of the project not receiving enough time to complete it. As a result, it has been decided that an investigation will be conducted in order to determine the proper quantities of bacterial solution required for concrete. To do this, several concrete cube samples will be made using varying amounts of bacterial solution, such as 15 ml, 30 ml, 45 ml, 60 ml, and 75 ml, respectively. These quantities will be added to the appropriate moulds. This will allow you to determine the proper dosage of the bacterial solution to employ. In order to determine the optimal dosage that should be used, these various samples are also put through a battery of tests using a variety of laboratory techniques, such as the properties of materials, slump cone test, a compressive strength testing machine, an ultrasonic pulse velocity test, plate count cells, and scanning electron microscopes, Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT), Acid attack test.
Impact of mindfulness on undergraduates' aggressive behavior: Psychological resilience and self-efficacy as mediators
Authors: Li Yanhua , Si Mingda
Published: February 2024

We explored the roles of psychological resilience and self-efficacy as mediators in the relationship between mindfulness and aggressive behavior. A sample of 720 Chinese undergraduates completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience
Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Chinese version of the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Results showed that psychological resilience played a mediating role between mindfulness and aggressive behavior, as did selfefficacy, and psychological resilience and self-efficacy
played a chain mediating role between mindfulness and aggressive behavior. Thus, mindfulness can not only directly affect individuals' aggressive behavior but can also indirectly affect their aggressive behavior through psychological resilience and self-efficacy. Our research results provide
theoretical guidance for the practical management and control of aggressive behavior of college students.
Work–family conflict influences the turnover intention of Chinese rural preschool teachers: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Wang Fang , Wang Zhicheng
Published: February 2024

We examined the association between work–family conflict and turnover intention by exploring the mediating effect of job satisfaction and the moderating effect of career calling. Data from 1,346 Chinese rural preschool teachers were processed using correlation analysis and hierarchical
linear regression analysis. The results revealed that work–family conflict was significantly and positively associated with rural preschool teachers' turnover intention. Job satisfaction mediated this relationship, while career calling moderated the association between work–family
conflict and job satisfaction. These findings contribute to understanding of turnover intention among rural preschool teachers and suggest the need to enhance career calling to promote job satisfaction and reduce turnover in this profession.
The impact and mechanism of culture mixing on travel intention
Authors: Pan Youxian , Liu Qian , Wang Xinran , Xie Yibo
Published: February 2024

Although culture plays an essential role in destination image creation, few studies have examined the effectiveness of culture mixing in the tourism industry. Thus, we tested the impact of culture mixing on travel intention with a sample of 279 tourists in China. Results revealed a
distributional effect of cultural iconicity on culture mixing, which suggests that tourists preferred culture mixing and showed a strong travel intention, but only for destinations with a low level of cultural iconicity. In contrast, they expressed a negative response to culture mixing when
the destination had high cultural iconicity. Additionally, we examined the mediating roles of confusion experience and creativity perception to further strengthen understanding of culture mixing in the tourism context. Our findings provide insight into how to build creative tourism destination
environments and advise prestigious destinations on how to utilize cultural tactics in advertising.

Authors: Zhu Caixia , Xia Minghe , Xie Heng , Wang Yushi , Ye Jiahua , Xu Jie
Published: February 2024

We examined how perceived organizational support and collective efficacy affect the job satisfaction of primary school teachers in China, and explored whether collective efficacy mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and job satisfaction. We gathered data
from 245 teachers using the Job Diagnostic Survey, the Organizational Support Measurement Scale, and the Collective Teacher Efficacy Scale. Our results confirmed there were positive correlations between job satisfaction and perceived organizational support, and between job satisfaction and
teachers' collective efficacy, supporting our initial hypotheses. Notably, perceived organizational support directly influenced teachers' job satisfaction and also indirectly influenced their job satisfaction through collective efficacy, highlighting the potential for future research to explore
strategies that enhance both organizational support and collective efficacy, ultimately ensuring teachers find satisfaction in their job.

Authors: Kuang Tingyue , Lyu Dongjuan
Published: February 2024

In this study we explored how green virtual brand community experience influences green community identity and green customer citizenship behavior. The target population comprised consumers who had the experience of joining Xintiandi's virtual brand community in China. The results of
a survey conducted with 436 members of this brand community indicated that green information experience, green entertainment experience, and green interactive experience were determinants of green community identity. There was a positive association between green community identity and green
customer citizenship behavior, and green community identity acted as a mediator between green virtual brand community experience and green customer citizenship behavior. Our research enriches the existing literature by establishing the roles of green information experience, green entertainment
experience, and green interactive experience as they influence green community identity, which, in turn, generates members' voluntary behaviors in supporting environmentally friendly activities.
Unveiling the influence of locus of control on social exclusion and conspicuous consumption
Authors: He Lingling , Chen Zongshu , Li Xuanying , Huang Jinfu , Liang Shichang
Published: February 2024

We explored the conditions and reasons for the influence of locus of control on the relationship between social exclusion and conspicuous consumption. Two studies were conducted to address this objective. Study 1 provided evidence that individuals with an external locus of control,
believing that their fate is determined by external factors, exhibited a stronger inclination toward conspicuous consumption when experiencing social exclusion as opposed to social inclusion. Conversely, individuals with an internal locus of control, perceiving their fate to be within their
own control, did not demonstrate a significant difference in conspicuous consumption between social-exclusion and social-inclusion conditions. Study 2 further validated this hypothesis by employing alternative manipulations and measures, and uncovered the underlying mechanism behind these
findings, revealing that the effect of personal control and social exclusion on conspicuous consumption was mediated by self-efficacy. Implications of the findings are discussed.
Subordinate self-serving attribution of leader respect and employee interpersonal deviance
Authors: Shen Huali , Zhao Xiaokang
Published: February 2024

Subordinate self-serving attribution of leader respect (SSALR) refers to the extent to which employees attribute leader respect to intrinsic personal factors, such as their ability and contribution to the organization, rather than extrinsic factors, such as leadership or luck. Based
on attribution theory, we proposed that subordinate SSALR triggers psychological entitlement, inducing subordinate interpersonal deviance. In Study 1 (n = 139) and Study 2 (n = 200) we conducted experiments to investigate the association between subordinate SSALR and subordinate
psychological entitlement, and, by extension, interpersonal deviance through psychological entitlement. Empirical results showed that subordinate SSALR positively correlated with subordinate psychological entitlement. Additionally, subordinate psychological entitlement was positively associated
with subordinate interpersonal deviance and mediates the relationship between subordinate SSALR and subordinate interpersonal deviance. This study's contribution lies in testing, for the first time, the influence of subordinate SSALR on subordinate interpersonal deviance, which has important
theoretical and practical significance.

Published: February 2024

A quality teacher–student relationship facilitates students' psychological wellbeing, but the mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear. To address this issue, we investigated the role of a supportive school climate in the link between teacher–student relationships
and college students' psychological well-being. We used a paper-based questionnaire to collect data from 318 students enrolled in three universities in west China, and used Amos 22.0 software to establish a structural equation model. The results indicated there was a significant positive link
between teacher–student relationships and students' psychological well-being, and that supportive school climate partially mediated this link. This study extends the conclusions of prior research and provides new insights into how teacher–student relationships affect the psychological
well-being of college students.
The relationship between general self-efficacy and income of Chinese employees: Emotion as a mediator
Authors: Tu Tianye
Published: February 2024

I examined the relationship between general self-efficacy and the income of Chinese employees, and the mediating role of emotion in this relationship. Analysis of data obtained in a survey of 209 employees in Shanghai revealed that general self-efficacy was positively related to income.
Additionally, emotion fully mediated the positive relationship between general self-efficacy and income. The study validates and enriches resource-based theory by demonstrating that general self-efficacy, as a type of strategic resource, is positively related to employee performance. Additionally,
it reveals the important role of emotion in the association between strategic resources and employee performance. The findings imply that managers of Chinese enterprises should assess the general self-efficacy of job applicants through surveys and interviews. Furthermore, Chinese leaders should
adopt a leadership style designed to improve the emotional state of their followers.

The Study of Jadidism in Soviet and Russian Historiography
Authors: Shihaliyev Sh. Sh. , Navruzov A. R.
Published: February 2024

The article provides an overview of the history of the study of Muslim reformism, known in the scientific literature as Jadidism, in the works of Soviet and Russian researchers. At first, it included only the reform of Islamic education, and later it began to be understood as a broader movement of “Muslim enlightenment” aimed at reforming the entire Muslim society. The study of the history of Jadidism in Russia began in the 1920s. Soviet scientists through the prism of the Marxist theory of the development of socio- economic formations. In the post-war years, Soviet historians and social scientists wrote critically about Jadidism. During the years of Khrushchev’s “thaw”, scholars tried to reconsider the essence of Jadidism in the socialist context of historical research through the reinterpretation of Islam as a specific Tatar national cultural heritage, called “mirasism”. A new stage of Russian historiography in matters of Jadidism began in the post- Soviet period, when Jadidism began to be seen as a social movement of Russian Muslims aimed at forming a nation of the European type. In general, it can be said that studies in Russian and Soviet historiography on the history of Jadidism in the Crimea, the Volga-Ural region, Central Asia and the Caucasus are distinguished by different methodologies and conceptual approaches, while works on the history of the Jadid movement in the Volga-Ural region are more complete. Despite the fact that there is no common understanding of the phenomenon of Jadidism in the Volga-Ural region, nevertheless, scientists of different directions (historians, philologists, Islamic scholars) have done a lot of work in studying this issue. In this regard, the history of Muslim reformism in the North Caucasus, in particular in Dagestan, is practically not studied. As well as there is no special work on this region.
The Religious Space of Badakhshan: Ismailism and Sufism
Authors: Vasil’tsov K. S.
Published: February 2024

Nowadays, the culture and cultural identity of the Pamir peoples are largely determined by the widespread and predominance of Ismailism, the largest movement within Shiite Islam, in this region. Local folklore narratives associate the key role in the spread of the Ismaili madhhab with the name of the poet, philosopher and preacher (da‘i) Nasir-i Khusraw (11th century). Yet the available now written sources do not provide sufficient grounds to ascertain definitely the real character of Nasir-i Khusraw activities in Badakhshan and the subsequent history of the Ismaili da‘wa in the Pamirs. This article examines a range of issues and problems dealing with the morphology of the religious space of Badakhshan, forms, ways and methods of interaction between Ismailis and Sufi tariqas, the influence of Sufi doctrines on intellectual history and local Ismaili religious practices.
On Jizya as a Motive for the Tabuk Expedition: on the Ayat 9: 28–29
Authors: Ibrahim T. K.
Published: February 2024

This publication continues the critical study (started in the fourth issue of the journal for 2019) of the dominant thesis in traditional Islamic political and legal theology about Jizya as a tribute from Non-Muslims, allegedly established by the Prophet Muhammad. In the first part of the publication presented in this issue, the traditions about the descent of verses 9: 28–29 (especially 9: 29, later known as the “Jizya verse”) as the reason for the Prophet’s establishment of the Tabuk expedition are subjected to a formal (hadithological) and substantive analysis. The exploration is conducted in line with the Reformist Modernist discourse, focusing on the disclosure of the truly humanistic spirit of prophetic Islam and the pacifist pluralistic attitude of the Qur’anic message.
The Tabari’s Tafsir to Surah “Al-Fātiḥa”. Translation from Arabic and Comments. Part 4: Ayyats 6–7
Authors: Frolov D. V. , Zaripov I. A.
Published: February 2024

This article concludes a series of publications of the commented translation into Russian of the interpretation to the Surah “al-Fatiha” (No. 1) by the founder of classical Muslim exegesis Muḥammad ibn Jarīr aṭ-Ṭabari (839–923) from the book “Jāmi‘ al-bayān fī ta’wīl al-Qur’ān” (The Comprehensive Exposition of the interpretation of the Qur’ān). This part contains sections devoted to ayats 6–7 of this surah. Based on examples of pre- and early Islamic literature grammatical questions about the case of the word ghayr and the need for the use of the particle lā in these ayats are analyzed here in detail. The Tafsir to this verses also treats the theological problems related to the nature of God’s benefactions and His wrath, continues the controversy with the Qadarites regarding determinism and free will. There are also given here traditions ascribed to the Prophet Muhammad and the “ancient fathers of the Ummah” on the interpretation of these ayats. The conclusion speaks about the inimitability of the Qur’ān on the example of the surah “al-Fatiha”.
Husain Faizkhanov (1823–1866) on Modernity: an Analysis of Correspondence Between 1855 and 1866
Authors: Khabutdinov A. Yu.
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the views of Husain Faizkhanov on the realities of Modern times, which were reflected primarily in his correspondence in 1855–1866. We investigate how Husain- Hazrat reflects the geopolitical situation, that is, the Crimean War (1853–1856) and the subsequent expansion of Russian borders in Kazakhstan and Central Asia in the 1850s and the half of the 1860s. In the conditions of competition between Russia and the West, H. Faizkhanov analyzes the system of organization of European science, its connection with reality. We examined his reflection of the Great Reforms of the 1860s and to the opportunities that opened up as it’s result for Muslim Tatars. At the same time, we considered his attitude to similar modernization reforms in the Muslim world, primarily in the Ottoman Empire and Egypt.
Perceptions of Open Educational Resources by Teaching Staff in Higher Education in Ireland
Authors: Hayes Amy
Published: February 2024

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Emergency Remote Learning on the perceptions of Open Educational Resources. This was achieved by comparing the perspectives of academic teaching staff in this research with those documented in pre-COVID-19 studies. A total of 105 participants from 16 institutions in Ireland were surveyed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative questions. The findings indicate that the shift to Emergency Remote Learning has not significantly diminished the perceived barriers to Open Educational Resources. Instead, it has brought forward fresh concerns about the implications of Open Education on conventional teaching methods. Although a national policy would grant individual institutions the autonomy to devise courses in line with their mission and strategy, the outcomes of this study highlight the need for practical assistance, training, and guidance at an institutional level.

Strategic Planning on Productivity through Leadership Commitment and Employee Involvement
Authors: Yangailo Tryson
Published: February 2024

Empirical research studies that have examined the relationship between strategic planning and productivity have produced mixed results, with some studies presenting that strategic planning has a significant impact on productivity, while other studies have failed to find the relationship between strategic planning and productivity. This study attempted to clarify and understand the relationship between strategic planning and productivity by including some contingency variables considered relevant in the implementation of strategic planning namely leadership commitment and employee involvement using 156 sample data collected through questionnaire from management employees of Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority. Model fit, validity and reliability were tested using regression analysis, principal component analysis and factor analysis using Jamovi software. The study presents that strategic planning and leadership commitment have a significant impact on productivity and that leadership commitment mediates the association between strategic planning and productivity. This study provides empirical evidence on the nature of the relationship between strategic planning and productivity. This study also gives evidence that leadership commitment is very relevant in strategic planning process at all stages and that no manager should isolate him/herself from strategic planning process.
A Love Letter to Ironing: Learning and Unlearning
Authors: Lynne Heller  , Tricia Crivellaro
Published: February 2024

What does ironing have in common with learning to build a digital world? This exposition explores the nature of learning and unlearning through the juxtaposition of skills, specifically ironing, a competency acquired for the most part through unconscious absorption, versus creating in a digital medium where our learning was much more self-conscious. In learning to build and program in Unreal Engine (UE5), a game engine capable of enabling a virtual reality (VR) experience, we learned, once again, what it means to learn. The exposition is written as a lyric essay to encompass both the prosaic and poetic ways that we engaged with a project titled, Craft and the Digital Turn. By using VR as a means of data visualization we sought to bring our craft backgrounds together with future trends in digitalization and communication. Through personal narratives and histories, melded with theory and analysis we hope to record a process that was deeply engaging and extremely challenging for us as practitioners.

Latvian women's experiences in the convergence of crises in Latvia in period 2020-2022
Authors:   University of Latvia, Felcis Weronika , Felcis Elgars ,   University of Latvia
Published: February 2024

This study explores vulnerability of Latvian women in the context of the climate crisis, post-pandemics and threat of war. Women are more concerned about environmental problems than men but have less resources to build their resilience towards a variety of interconnected social, political, ecological and economic crises. Aspects such as women’s political rights to access, control and manage environmental resources determine their vulnerability. As their role is often assigned to maintaining a healthy environment at home, at work and in the community, unequal pressures, unfair expectations and unspoken challenges were explored in the qualitative research. Since no similar research has been carried out before, a broad group of participants were invited to participate in the study. The immediate aftermath of pandemic restrictions and the time of Russian military aggression in spring 2022 interfered with the phase of data gathering and in result broadened the spectrum of issues discussed with women. The historical moment in which we conducted our research has shown that long-term and time-stretched risks play a secondary role in women's lives. Because of their social role as caregivers, immediate problems usually require much more of their attention and resources. This leads to limitations in possible adaptation and resilience building.
