Politeness Maxims in Saad Al-Hariri’s and François Hollande’s Speeches on Refugees
Authors: Abdulsada Mohammed , Yacoub Balsam
Published: December 2022

This study explores the politeness maxims implied in two refugee-centric speeches given by Lebanese prime minister Saad Al-Hariri and French president François Hollande. Drawing on Leech’s (1983) six-maxim politeness approach, the study aims at recognizing these maxims, describing their forms, and uncovering the intended purposes. The research, additionally, elaborates on sympathy as a key element in the pragmatic analysis of the two speeches sampled for analysis. To do so, a careful investigation of the words, phrases, and sentences is conducted so as to sort and highlight all sympathetic forms. Then, a brief comparison is made between the two speeches in terms of sympathy and politeness. To do so, a qualitative methodology is followed in the analysis, where frequencies are reached. First, the research introduces the preliminaries of the study as to the definition of key terms, elaborates on politeness, draws on Leech’s politeness theory, and reviews a few related studies. Then, a sample of two speeches is chosen, analyzed, and investigated for politeness. Finally, the paper reaches a few conclusions and findings, in addition to some further studies. The paper finds that the two speeches under study are very sympathetic towards refugees and that the relevant references carry multiple forms of politeness maxims. The paper, also, reports a noticeable difference between the Arab discourse and the European discourse concerning refugees and their suffering.

Authors: Elizabeth Morey Herrera Jesica , Hebe Valdez Heliana , Cabral María José
Published: December 2022

La enfermedad de Chagas es endémica en Latinoamérica abarcando desde el sur de Estados Unidos hasta la región sur de Argentina. Este proyecto se efectuó en 2 etapas diferentes. En la primera etapa se trató de un estudio de corte transversal que implico en un trabajo de campo en los barrios que nuclea el Centro de atención primaria de la salud (Caps.) de La Cañada. En el que se escogió al azar 112 mujeres comprendidas entre 15 y 35 años. Obteniendo una prevalencia de la enfermedad del 7%. Del total de las encuestada el 57%(n=64) no tenía conocimiento sobre la enfermedad ni sobre el diagnóstico de la misma. En la segunda etapa se revisaron las historias clínicas desde 2017 a 2022 de mujeres que concurrieron a un hospital de tercer nivel que residían en el área de estudio y tenía serología para Chagas.  Lo que nos permitió observar el descenso de la prevalencia desde 5% a 1% desde 2017 a 2021. En el 2022 la prevalencia aumenta en relación al año anterior al 2%. Es importante tener en cuenta no solo el diagnóstico de laboratorio requerido en contextos determinados y puntuales nos van a permitir identificar la enfermedad de Chagas; sino también tener en cuenta aquellos factores que incrementen la posibilidad de adquisición de la misma como lo son el escenario ambiental, los antecedentes familiares y el lugar de procedencia. Estos elementos nos van a permitir sospechar la enfermedad y ofrecer como agentes de salud la detección del T. cruzi en población más vulnerable y evitar complicaciones en la mujer a largo plazo como así también disminuir el riego en futuros embarazos.

Published: December 2022

A intoxicação exógena por drogas é um dos principais problemas de saúde pública. Esse agravo causado pelo uso de substâncias lícitas e ilícitas trazem prejuízos e danos à saúde dos usuários, acarretando desde dependência química até o suicídio. O objetivo desse estudo é traçar um perfil sociodemográfico das intoxicações por drogas de abuso no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, qualitativo e transversal sobre os dados relacionados à intoxicação por drogas de abuso através do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único do SUS – Ministério da Saúde (DATASUS-MS) nos anos de 2010 a 2020, reunidos em tabelas para análise estatística. Observou-se uma predominância por pessoas do sexo masculino (74,32%), pardas (34,46%), da faixa etária dos 20-39 anos (56,88%). A principal circunstância foi o abuso (75,45%), e a maioria evoluiu com cura sem sequelas (70,88%). Dessa forma, faz-se necessária a adoção de medidas práticas de vigilância, promoção e prevenção em saúde, visando a diminuição do agravo.

Authors: da Silva Iran Alves , Torres Sabrina Bezerra , Cabral Analúcia Guedes Silveira
Published: December 2022

Desde os primórdios da humanidade se faz utilização das plantas medicinais com fins terapêuticos. Contudo, o conceito de “natural”, contribui para concepção popular e errônea de que plantas medicinais não exercem mal algum. Esse estudo buscou analisar o uso de plantas medicinais por mulheres em hormonioterapia no Agreste Pernambucano. Neste contexto, foram entrevistados 96 mulheres com câncer de mama em tratamento de hormonioterapia, no Agreste de Pernambuco, por meio de questionários avaliativos enfatizando características socioeconômicas e dados referentes à utilização de plantas medicinais. Com isso, evidenciou-se que 69,80% da população estudada faz uso de plantas medicinais. A maioria das mulheres entrevistadas compartilham a opinião inverídica de que plantas medicinais não ocasionam prejuízos, à vista disso não buscam informações sobre o assunto. Sendo assim, observa-se que é necessário mais profissionais especializados para orientação sobre o risco de reações adversas e interações medicamentosas no que se refere ao uso de espécies vegetais e a terapêutica oncológica.

Published: December 2022

Ansible automation is not a new configuration management method but is a widely used and accepted DevOps tool to manage Linux as well as non-Linux servers across the networks. It not only helps to manage systems from the control host but also enables remote administration tasks such as package management, system evaluation, security scans, user management as well as service configuration implementations. This paper utilises the same concept for systems management and enables the configuration files as well as ansible yaml files packages and shipped through fully secured and signed rpm package which guarantees that neither the rpm package is tampered nor the shipped ansible yaml playbooks are modified. The rpm package can be built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and can also be signed to make sure that the package doesn't get any replaced files in between the time it is shipped by the vendor till it reaches the end user/customer. This paper will also talk about the rpm building best practices including spec files, public-private key pairs, rpm macros as well as yum metadata to host the package over the internet. The deployed package will make sure that it adheres to the complete lifecycle of the rpm package management, appropriate dependencies and suitable changelog as per the Open Source and Red Hat Package Management standards. Key Words: rpm, ansible, private-public keypair, rpm-macros- spec file, security.
Subthreshold Leakage Current Reduction Technique in Large Scale Integration with SRAM
Authors: Nayak Prof. Dipangi , Gawande Prof. Suresh S
Published: December 2022

- Static power dissipation is due to leakage current when the transistor is normally off. The two main sources of power dissipation in CMOS circuits are static and dynamic power dissipation. By scaling down the feature size the dynamic power dissipation has no effect but the static power dissipation has become equal or more than that of Dynamic power dissipation. So, in recent CMOS technologies static power dissipation i.e. power dissipation due to leakage current has become a challenging area for VLSI chip designers. Leakage current occurs in both active and standby modes. Gate leakage, subthreshold leakage cannot be solved by MOS structures nor by introducing new material. One of the feasible solutions is by combinational use of Low- Vt transistors for its high-speed capability and High- Vt transistors for very small leakage current. Multi- Threshold CMOS(MTCMOS) and Variable- Threshold CMOS (VTCMOS) are biasing techniques that uses combinations of different threshold voltage and are suitable for SRAM design. Keywords: leakage power, CMOS, VTCMOS, Feature size, Subthreshold,

Authors: Oleksiuk Vasyl P. , Oleksiuk Olesia R.
Published: December 2022

The phenomenon of augmented reality (AR) in education is examined in the article. The use of computer data in augmented reality (AR) enhances the physical world. Such content is associated with particular places or things to do. Applications for augmented reality (AR) have recently become accessible on mobile devices. AR is made accessible through media (news, entertainment, sports). It is beginning to spread into other spheres of life (such as e-commerce, travel, marketing). However, the main influence on AR is education. The authors investigated the potential applications of augmented reality in education based on the examination of scholarly papers. They found ways to use augmented reality in the classroom to teach computer science. Students can observe how computer systems operate when their parameters are changed thanks to such apps and services. In addition, students can visualize algorithms and data processes as well as modify computer hardware for augmented reality objects. The article outlines the subject matter of author preparation for working teachers. A few applications for training in AR technology were taken into consideration at this occasion. The advantages of using augmented reality items in computer science education are highlighted. It has been demonstrated that using augmented reality offers a chance to improve the realism of research and offers an emotional and cognitive experience. The development of new representations of actual objects and the creation of new chances for collaborative learning all help to engage students in systematic learning.The age of teachers, student engagement, the use of technology in education, play and entertainment styles of learning, and other aspects that affect the adoption of augmented reality in school computer science were all examined by the writers. Numerous STEM augmented reality projects have been chosen. The attitudes of the teachers toward these projects were assessed using expert evaluation, and the projects with the highest ratings underwent evaluation.
Impact of Bilateral and Multilateral Aid on Domestic Savings in Low and Middle-Income Sub Sahara African Countries: Mediating Role of Institutional Quality
Authors: Wambaka Kosea
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of bilateral and multilateral aid on domestic savings in SSA countries, and assess whether the impact depends on the quality of institutions. Using a panel data set of 28 selected SSA countries from 1996 – 2015, a model was specified and estimated using the techniques of random effects based on results of the Hausman test. The results show that only bilateral aid has a significant negative impact on domestic savings of SSA countries, implying a crowding-out effect. However, the impact of multilateral aid was found insignificant. After interacting bilateral and multilateral aid with institutional quality, it turns out that the negative impact of bilateral aid persists whereas multilateral aid shows a positive impact on domestic savings. It is interesting to note that aid regardless of the composition crowds out domestic savings in middle income SSA countries even after interacting with institutions, while for the case of low income countries, foreign aid particularly multilateral aid complements domestic saving if accompanied with improvement in the quality of institutions.
Impact of Bilateral and Multilateral Aid on Economic Growth in Low and Middle-Income Sub Sahara African Countries: Mediating Role of Institutional Quality
Authors: Wambaka Kosea
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the study was to compare the impact of bilateral and multilateral aid on economic growth in middle and low-income Sub Sahara Africa (SSA) countries, and determine whether the impact is contingent on institutional quality. The study relied on panel data from 28 SSA countries from 1999 – 2015. Countries were grouped into middle and low-income countries following the World Bank classification, and a dynamic model was specified and estimated for both categories of countries using the technique of system GMM. After accounting for the differences in levels of economic development, the results showed that only multilateral aid had a positive and significant effect on economic growth in both middle and low-income countries, and that the impact is contingent on existence of good quality institutions. The study therefore recommends that donors should focus more on advancing aid through multilateral channels, and that governments of SSA countries—both middle and low-income—should focus on strengthening the quality of their institutions if they are to maximize value from multilateral aid.

The efficiency of various heteropoly compounds as well-known solid acids is investigated for the three-component condensation reaction of an aldehyde, b-ketoester and urea to afford the dihydropyrimidinones (DHPM). Compared to the classical Biginelli reaction conditions, this new method consistently has the advantage of excellent yields and short reaction time. The objective of this study is the use of Keggin heteropolyacid (HPAs) noted H3PMo12O40 and its ammonium salts H3-2xCuxPMo12O40 and (NH4)3-2xCuxPMo12O40 in Biginelli cyclocondensation reaction using: benzaldehyde, acetoacetate and urea with ratio (2:2:3) [3]. After synthesis, the prepared catalysts were characterized by: BET surface area, X- ray diffraction, Infra-red spectroscopy and DHPM by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR. The reaction results show that H3PMo12O40 is the best catalyst in our reaction conditions with an excellent yield around 94% which can be explained by significantly higher Brønsted acidity compared to that of traditional mineral catalysts. In the other hand, other excellent yields have been obtained in the presence of Cu0.25H2,50PMo12O40 and (NH4)3,00Cu0,00PMo12O40 89% and 59% respectively.

Approximate Analytic Solution of Riccati Equation with Fractional Order of Multi-Parameters
Authors: ALOMARI Abedel-karrem , SHRAIDH Rual
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we present an approximate analytic solution of the Riccati equation with fractional order of multi-parameters. The fractional order of Caputo types with generalized Mittag–Leffler kernel is adaptive, this kind of fractional derivative has three fractional parameters. Several properties of the fractional derivative and integral are studied. We use the homotopy analysis method to generate the approximate analytic solution to the problem. The effect of the fractional parameters on the behavior of the solution is studied, each parameter of the fractional derivative can change not only the solution behaviors but also the existence of the solution. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method. Comparisons of the exact solution and the approximate solution in the case of the standard derivative are made. For the fractional case, we calculate the residual error of the approximate solution. In all cases, the solution is accurate and simply applies.
Spatial prepositions for original (and richer) meanings: the case of Spanish
Authors: Rasia Maria Eugenia , Goni Rasia Guillermina M.
Published: December 2022

Spatio-temporal prepositions like hasta ‘until’ find crucially distinct uses across Spanish varieties. In many cases, uses disallowed in more restrictive variants alternate nontrivially with canonical P distribution, raising pressing questions on spatiotemporal prepositions, lexicalized denotational properties, and their potential exploitation in complex semantic representations.
In Central American varieties in particular, Ps like hasta ‘up to’ show puzzling behavior in two instances: (i) with spatial situation verbs and copulas, in nondynamic, nondurative predications locating an object relative to a perspectival landmark; (ii) with punctual verbs, situating the V-described happening relative to a distal (temporal) vantage point. Both cases are unexpected for general crosslanguage principles touching on aspectual requirements imposed by projective or directional Ps and the specific nature of the verbs combined.
Here, we draw on a general crosslanguage condition for otherwise unpredicted uses of directional spatial Ps building on perspectival location and extend the analysis to accommodate progressive uses in the locative/temporal domain accordingly. We follow the premise that directional/projective prepositions express directions on an interval, and that such directions can be defined either by inherent ground properties or by the relative position of an observer. In noncanonical uses, we contend, the object is situated relative to a landmark serving as origo of the relevant conceptual space. Polar coordinates in the analysis guarantee proper inclusion of all points in the perspectival path, accommodating negation effects accordingly.

Fungal isolates of Fusarium were collected from symptomatic chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants growing in fields within the Souk Tlat commune in the Gharb region. Morphological and molecular characterizations were performed of the fungal isolate N3 obtained from a chickpea plant. PCR amplification and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer using the primers ITS1 and ITS4 were applied to identify the fungal isolate N3. The maximum similarity index of the fungus was found to be 99.33% with Fusarium equiseti (accession no. MT111122). In the pathogenicity test, both chickpea seed dip inoculation and soil infestation by the spore suspension of Fusarium isolate were adopted. Four weeks after chickpea seed inoculation, few plants emerged, and those that emerged were stunted. A high percentage of inoculated seeds did not emerge and showed accentuated rot symptoms. Eight weeks after sowing seeds in infested soil, the obtained chickpea seedlings displayed root necrosis, browning at the crown, and wilting. In addition, these plants showed a foliar alteration index of 0.395. The re-isolation was positive for different parts of chickpea plants for both seed and soil inoculation. Fusarium equiseti isolate decreased the length of the root and aerial parts, and the number of leaves and branches of the inoculated chickpea plants either by seed inoculation or soil infestation with values of 0.91 cm and 19.73 cm, 1.29 cm, and 19.44 cm, 1.11 and 18.66, and 0.0 and 2.08 respectively, whereas the corresponding values for the control plants were 27.16 and 28.33 cm, 29.05 and 31.05 cm, 24.21 and 25.66, and 3.50 and 3.11, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of F. equiseti on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Morocco.

Poverty alleviation programs have been carried out in Malaysia for decades. However, poverty still exists in society and it seems to persist despite various efforts to alleviate it. The persistence of poverty among pockets of society is difficult to address. Intergenerational poverty is probably one of the reasons contributing to this scenario. Poverty is 'handed down' to the next generation and the cycle is hard to be broken. It is well documented in the literature that the incidence of poverty is more prevalent among single mother households whilst there is limited research on single father's issues. The methodology employed for this research is action research whereby an intervention will be introduced throughout the research period. The objective of this research is to develop specialized poverty alleviation programs for single parent households in Baling yet it is still in its preliminary stage. Hence, this paper provides descriptive information about the single parent respondents.

Published: December 2022

The study investigated the influence of perceived difficult topics by senior secondary school students and how this perception affects their academic achievement in Economics in Lagos State Education District V, in Nigeria. A total of three hundred and seventy-seven (377) students were selected for the study through simple random sampling technique. One research question and two hypotheses were raised and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that greatest percentage of the students chose calculations and statistics as the most difficult aspect of Economics with an overall highest 27.4% and the lowest in ranking of difficulty is explanation of terms 8.3%. Also, findings showed that perceived difficult topics in Economics has positively strong significant impact on academic achievement in Economics (ꞵ1 = 0.65; p<0.05). Among the recommendations made in line with the findings of this study is that students should be taught Economics with activity-based methods to improve their academic achievement in the subject.
The Research of the Foreign Trade Competitiveness in Dynamic Approach on the Example of Poland
Authors: Salamaga Marcin
Published: December 2022

One of the study proposals of the intensity of the intra-industry trade was presented Glejser et al. (1982). It is competitive with many foreign trade indicators which do not take account of the country specialization in import and export and do not refl ect adequately the effects of trade imbalances. On based the variance of the export and import specialization indicators Glejser et al. (1982) created a tool that overcomes these shortcomings. The proposed method, however, was not equipped with an appropriate statistical and econometric tools, which greatly limits its practical usefulness. This article attempts to improve the method and test it on the example of foreign trade in Poland.

Published: December 2022

In the paper, a new approach to fuzzy Multi-Attribute Decision Making methods has been proposed, with the application of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers model. After the presentation of OFN model, it has been used as part of the fuzzy SAW method. Ordered fuzzy numbers allow to immediately distinguish between type of criteria, and the presented examples show the usefulness of the proposed method.
Analysis of Possibility of Application of Higher-Order Hierarchical Credibility Estimators in Automobile Insurance
Authors: Topolewski Marcin
Published: December 2022

The work concerns the applicability of credibility estimators of order higher than one, called hierarchical estimators, to posterior estimates of claim ratio in motor insurance systems based on the history of the insured. The first part presents the idea of the credibility estimation method. In the second part the linear credibility estimator is discussed. The third part introduces appropriate for risk models in the form of claims distributions, which are used to derive the corresponding hierarchical estimates of the first order. The fourth section expands the discussion of the hierarchical estimators of the order two. In the empirical fifth part previously presented solutions are used to estimate the loss ratio for the sample insurance portfolio, results are discussed and conclusions concerning the possibility of application of second order hierarchical estimators into motor insurance are formulated.

Basis for evaluation are the main indicators proposed by Eurostat to monitor the progress of the EU countries in implementing this concept development. The method used in this work is the Z. Hellwig and zeroed unitarisation method. The study covered the period 2009–2013. The study shows that EU countries have different levels of implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy, which is reflected in their classification into groups with different levels.
Equivalence Scales Based on Stochastic Indifference Criterion: The Case of Poland
Authors: Kot Stanislaw Maciej
Published: December 2022

The paper presents the concept of the stochastic equivalence scale (SES), which is based on the stochastic indifference criterion. The SES is any function that transforms the expenditure distribution of a specific group of households in such a way that the resulting distribution is stochastically indifferent from the expenditure distribution of a reference group of households. The stochastic indifference criteria are also used in developing the method of the estimation of the SES. Non-parametric and parametric SESs are estimated using the Polish Household Budget Survey for the years 2005–2010.
Effects of Being in an Occupation – Is ISCO 1 Digit Classification Enough to Model Wages in Poland?
Authors: Ryczkowski Maciej
Published: December 2022

Contrary to neoclassical assumptions of perfect competition, there is a consensus that factors affecting wages include sex, level of education, age, job experience, occupation, post, work-related responsibility and a whole set of personality traits. The paper presents an econometric model that allows to explain wage differences in Poland and extends analyses of wage determinants in Poland by taking into account occupations broken down in accordance with the 2-digit level of International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). The analysis shows that ISCO 2 digit level is an important and statistically significant determinant of wages in Poland, while models of wages basing on ISCO 1 digit might be not enough to properly capture the role of occupations.

Authors: Panek Emil
Published: December 2022

In the reference to articles Panek (2014, 2015) in the paper two version of the so called twisted turnpike in the nonstationary Gale economy are presented. There states that if in the non-stationary Gale economy the optimal growth process in the certain period of the time reaches the twisted turnpike and the von Neumann prices do not change to abruptly, than irrespectively of the length of the horizon of the economy such a process for all next periods can be found in the turnpike’s proximity, except for perhaps the final time.

Analysis of the wood properties of Dicorynia guianensis Amsh. in the context of using in outdoor architecture. This article deals with the analysis angélique wood (Dicorynia guianensis Amsh.) properties to verify suitability for use in the arrangement of external architecture such as the construction of terraces. Particularly, tests included determination of hardness by the Brinell method and total and partial shrinkage. The presented characteristic of properties was complemented by the analysis of wood colour stability during exposition to natural weathering factors for six months. Changes of particular colour parameters (lightness L*, chroma C*, hue h) were determine as well as the total colour change ΔE*. The colour stability was examined on untreated wood surface as well as on wood finished with clear and colouring oils. It was found that the angélique wood belongs to the group of very heavy wood (specific gravity 807 kg/m3) and is characterized by the favourable technical parameters, primarily the high hardness (average hardness 45,64 MPa). Furthermore, the angélique wood is the wood of average shrinkage (average total shrinkage 14,37%). Dimensional stability does not differ from the properties of wood commonly and successfully used for wooden external construction. The results showed that during external exposition angélique wood became darker. Using wood surface protection preparations such as oils resulted in the slowing down the weathering processes effects.
