A violência contra a mulher é um problema de saúde pública de proporções epidêmicas no Brasil, embora sua magnitude seja em grande parte invisível. Ao se abordar essa temática no contexto das Comunidades Quilombolas, percebe-se que a violência contra a mulher quilombola difere da violência contra a mulher urbana devido fatores relacionados ao passado histórico- cultural, dificuldades de acesso a serviços públicos, falta de estrutura, telefone, energia e instrução. Esse estudo trata- se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem de análise na antropologia interpretativa de entrevistas com 30 mulheres quilombolas. O papel das mulheres quilombolas era definido desde o seu nascimento com significativa influencia cultural. Nesse trajeto sofriam violência, mas não tinham a quem relatar ou alguém que as pudesse tirar dessa situação. Ao realizar uma análise da mulher quilombola frente à violência doméstica, evidencia- se uma perspectiva intrínseca à sua relação com um passado marcado pelo patriotismo escravocrata.

Originality/value: This ground-breaking empirical study concentrates on GPP in State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (SI-HEIs).
ANALYSIS OF A NEW TYPE OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGGEAR WITH TWO PINIONS ENGAGED ON THE SAME SETOF TEETH ON THE RACK
Authors: Bujak Jarosław , Nakielski Marcin , Szczęch Marcin
Published: April 2024

Electric power steering is the most commonly used solution in passenger cars. It is a more economical andreliable solution than the hydraulic equivalent. Its main parts are usually the rack, pinion, and worm wheel,which are subject to wear during driving. A steering gear that works incorrectly poses a direct threat to thesafety of the driver and other road users. The paper presents various types of electric power steering gears,with a particular emphasis on the problems that arise during the design of the pinion and rack. In this paper,a new electric power steering system consisting of a steering gear with two pinions working on a commontoothing of the rack (TPEPS) is proposed. The benefits of placing two pinions on one tooth set of a steeringrack are described, which eliminates many problems during production, and thus allows the reduction inproduction costs. As part of the analysis, design challenges for a new type of transmission are presented,taking into account key customer requirements, with a particular emphasis on durability and ensuring thedesired noise level, which is important due to the replacement of cars with an internal combustion drive withan electric drive. This paper presents selected friction and noise test results for a new power steering system.A comparison is made with a system that has two pinions and different teeth on the rack (DPEPS). The resultsindicate that the new system could become an alternative solution due to its lower friction value and lowernoise.

El aprendizaje cooperativo es una metodología de enseñanza que fomenta el trabajo en equipo y la colaboración entre los estudiantes para lograr objetivos comunes. Por ese motivo, el objetivo de la investigación fue analizar la incidencia del aprendizaje cooperativo en el aprendizaje del idioma inglés en los estudiantes de décimo grado de la Unidad Educativa Cristo Rey. La investigación fue de tipo no experimental, aplicando el método analítico-descriptivo que fue respaldado mediante la revisión bibliográfica, los instrumentos de recolección de datos fueron aplicados a 38 estudiantes legalmente matriculados en décimo grado periodo 2022-2023 en la Unidad Educativa antes mencionada y 2 docentes que impartieron clases de inglés a los estudiantes encuestados. De la misma forma, los datos recolectados fueron analizados, esto tuvo como resultado que el aprendizaje cooperativo en el área de inglés tuvo una favorable acogida por parte del alumnado y profesorado, pero aun así una minoría expresó sentirse inconforme con las actividades que se realizan en este tipo de aprendizaje, dado que si uno de los compañeros no cumple con su parte como resultado le puede llegar a afectar en las calificaciones de todo el grupo e incluso esto les puede llegar a crear estrés. En síntesis, este tipo de aprendizaje es esencial para incentivar la comunicación, mejorar las relaciones interpersonales, motivar, desestresar y mejorar el rendimiento académico del alumnado, considerando que este se aplique de forma correcta, igualitaria y equitativa, caso contrario se obtendrán resultados adversos.
MENSTRUAL LEAVE AND GENDER EQUALITY
Authors: Reljanović Mario Lj. , Rajić Ćalić Jovana M.
Published: April 2024

Menstrual leave is one of the latest developments in Spanish law. By amending their labour law in order to recognize the right to menstrual leave, Spanish legislators have brought this topic back into the spotlight of European labour law. Although recognized in various legislations around the world, most notably in Asia, the right to menstrual leave has not been established as an international labour law standard. Therefore, there are many open questions concerning its recognition, the content of the legal institute, as well as the consequences of its introduction into the labour legislation. Authors deal with the question whether menstrual leave is a need of women today, so its introduction to labour law can be treated as a progressive legislative development. If so, what is the justification for introducing such special leave and in which circumstances it should be provided? In order to analyse these questions in more detail, research has been divided into several sections. After the introductory part, authors deal with the reasonings pro et contra introducing menstrual leave to national legislation. This is followed by comparative analysis of normative solutions in all countries that recognize the right to menstrual leave, and brief analysis of the possibility to introduce this right to the EU acquis. Finally, in concluding remarks authors offer the broader picture of the potential role and position of the menstrual leave in the national labour law and antidiscrimination law.

Authors: Patiño Vásquez Daniel Alexander
Published: April 2024

La introducción de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en la educación ha alterado la forma en que se lleva a cabo la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, ocasionando modificaciones sustanciales en la interacción entre los educadores y los alumnos. No obstante, este proceso también conlleva desafíos relacionados con la equidad, la privacidad y la igualdad de oportunidades educativas. El propósito central del presente estudio fue examinar cómo las TIC afectan en el rendimiento y la dedicación en profesores y estudiantes de acuerdo al uso de la misma. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, se implementó una metodología cuantitativa mediante una encuesta dirigida a docentes y estudiantes. Los resultados señalaron que la integración de las TIC ha modificado las estrategias pedagógicas, incentivando la participación activa de los estudiantes, por otro lado, también se ha evidenciado desafíos como la brecha digital y la carencia de formación tanto para docentes como para estudiantes en la correcta utilización de estas tecnologías. Se concluye que, para una aplicación eficaz de las TIC en la educación, es esencial abordar factores críticos como la capacitación y brecha digital, que obstaculiza el acceso equitativo a herramientas tecnológicas, dispositivos y conectividad. A pesar de los obstáculos, la familiaridad con las herramientas digitales sugiere una disposición generalizada para incorporar la tecnología en la educación, lo que podría mejorar la experiencia educativa a medida que más docentes se capaciten en su uso.

Authors: Ali Ahmad Jum'a Khatib Nur , Mohammad Siddiq  , Robingah
Published: April 2024

Background: Indonesia is rich with cultural diversity as the identity of the Indonesian nation. One form of diversity is folklore. As a cultural product, folklore contains value narratives that are important for national character building. Purpose: This research focuses on the narrative of Islamic value education content in folklore. The purpose of this research article is to find out the narrative of Islamic value education content conveyed in the Sang Piatu folklore. Design and methods: The research method used is descriptive-qualitative with a narrative structure and value approach as a conceptual reference for analysis. The research data was collected by using documentation technique. The object of analysis is the folklore of Sang Piatu from Bengkulu which was published as a non-educational textbook in 2016. Results: The results showed that the Sang Piatu folktale has a narrative structure: equilibrium, disruption, disequilibrium (recognition, resettlement), and new-equilibrium. The value of Islamic education is about seeking knowledge and sincerity which are narrated implicitly and explicitly through direct dialog or storytelling narrators. The folklore of the Sang Piatu becomes an educational medium to form a personality with Islamic values.

Authors: Elzhraa Elsayed Rady Fatma , Aboul Fotouh Saleh Samir , Hussein Elshafie Mohamed
Published: April 2024

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a proposed hybrid model for managing the cost of agility smart supply chains using Nanotechnology. Methodology – The paper concentrates on a case study of the Egyptian Electric Cables company related to the new implementation of Nanotechnology in Egypt’s industrial sector. The data was collected through interviews with company officials specializing in Nanotechnology since 2022. The paper constructs a model for managing the cost of an agile smart supply chain using the Fuzzy Model. The methodology involves defining specific capabilities and attributes, establishing linguistic scales for performance evaluation, and computing fuzzy performance indices. These indices aim to quantify the performance of agile attributes and capabilities within the context of Nanotechnology’s application in smart supply chains, culminating in an overall Fuzzy Performance Index. Findings – The Egyptian Electric Cables company’s utilization of Nanotechnology within their agile smart supply chain demonstrates remarkable effectiveness, as indicated by the fuzzy performance index values. Their success appears in adeptly managing various factors: flexibility, allowing adaptability to market demands and diverse product ranges; responsiveness, ensuring strong supplier relationships and swift adjustments to market fluctuations; competence, exhibited through effective collaboration, product quality, and skilled workforce development; cost management, focusing on controlling expenses throughout the sourcing, manufacturing, and delivery processes; and performance, emphasizing efficiency, increased output, and resource optimization. These practical results prove the company’s success in integrating Nanotechnology to efficiently manage costs within its agile smart supply chain model. Originality – It is believed that there is no study to date examining the effect of using Nanotechnology on the cost management of agility smart supply chains. This paper contributes to the limited literature on Nanotechnology and cost management of agility smart supply chain. It develops a fuzzy model that integrates Nanotechnology within the scope of capabilities (Flexibility, Responsiveness, Competence, Cost, and performance) in sourcing, manufacturing, and delivery within the agile smart supply chain, the construction of this fuzzy model was guided by the researchers’ creation of the suggested hybrid model for agile smart supply chains, integrating Nanotechnology and leveraging advanced technologies. Keywords: Nanotechnology, Cost Management, Nano Supply Chains, Agility Supply Chains, Smart Supply Chains, Value Chains, RFID, 3D printing.
Proposed Combined Technique of Statistical Filter and Machine Learning for Exploratory Data Analytics and Features Selecting of Telecommunication Customer Churn
Authors: Nabawy Noha , Nofal Zohdy , Mahmoud Eman
Published: April 2024

This study can determine a customer churn based on his historical data and behavior. It indicates that an efficient churn prediction model should employ a significant volume of historical data to identify churners. However, existing models have several limitations that make it difficult to do churn prediction reasonably and accurately. To solve this issue this study proposed new combined technique of statistical filter and machine learning preprocessing is used. Furthermore, statistical methods are utilized to generate models, resulting in poor prediction performance. Also, benchmark datasets are not employed in the literature for model evaluation, resulting in a poor representation of the actual visual representation of data. Without benchmark datasets, it is impossible to compare different models fairly. An intelligent model can be utilized to relieve current issues and deliver more accurate churn prediction. Keywords: Customer churn, Data Acquisition, Exploratory Data Analytics, Feature selecting technique, Filter statistical technique, Machine learning.

Authors: Gana Usman , Ifegwu Eke Chukwuemeka , Mary Osi
Published: April 2024

Africa’s financial technology (FinTech) has significantly improved during the last several years as her economy evolved. Nigeria, as a vital part of the continent is undergoing so much as Africa is experiencing. Nigerian economy has undergone significant changes in recent years, particularly with the advent of FinTech. The infrastructure for Illicit Financial Flows, IFFs, evolved as well. To combat or curb IFFs and provide a stable operating environment for the economy, Nigeria must seek to increase transparency in financial decision-making and public debt management. In this study, regression and correlation were employed, together with primary, and secondary data gathered from the National Bureau of Statistics, to assess this subject matter. The aim was to unlock Nigeria’s financial prospects via curbing IFFs and instilling transparency in public debt management by properly deploying of FinTech in Nigeria. According to the results, weak or compromised FinTech are increasing facilitating IFFs, there’s great dearth of digital expertise, the transient nature of digital technology via virtual and traditional banks is obscuring demand for IFFs, regulatory frame is albeit obsolete and finally, there is a call for a multi-national approach. These findings will be helpful for policymakers working hard to rid this country of IFFs and strengthen our public debt management mechanisms. Keywords: Illicit Financial flows, FinTech; debt management; Credibility
Music therapy in Montenegro: Perspectives on the current situation
Authors: Rajčić Mirjana , Krkeljić Tatjana
Published: April 2024

Music therapy is in the process of inclusion in Montenegrin society, but it is not officially recognised and acknowledged, and there are no training programmes. Montenegro currently has only two music therapists, neither of whom works in the country. Given the early development of the profession in the country, this report provides information on what has been done in the field of music therapy in Montenegro until today, with no explicit focus on dementia or end-of-life care. An ongoing two-year project supported by the Montenegrin Ministry of Science, Musical Heritage of Montenegro – Musical Practices of Montenegro and their Potential (MusiH), will offer one segment oriented towards applied ethnomusicological approaches to music therapy and concrete therapeutic practice will be organised for the first time.
Music therapy in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: An overview and some perspectives on dementia and end-of-life care
Authors: Saada Buran , Coombes Elizabeth
Published: April 2024

This report discusses the practice of music therapy in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), with a focus on the field of dementia and end-of-life care. It reviews music therapy in general in this part of the world, and also explores the extent to which music therapy is implemented and made available to the general public. Matters relating to access to music therapy trainings are also examined. The impact of culture and lack of trained music therapists in the OPT mean that at present, music therapy work in general is limited. The report concludes by offering glimpses into current initiatives and potential developments for the profession.
Music therapy in Turkey: Historical background and current perspectives on dementia and end-of-life care
Authors: Çifdalöz Burçin Uçaner
Published: April 2024

This report has two objectives: a) to provide a historical background of music therapy in Turkey covering the period from the Seljuks (1037-1194) to modern times, and b) to describe current music interventions applied in Turkey in end-of-life care and dementia. During the Seljuk and Ottoman period, many şifahanes (hospitals) were built, and important scientists of the period from the 9th century until the 19th century included music and health issues in their work. In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, some şifahanes were closed and some of them were destroyed in wars. Then, the use of music as a therapeutic agent was forgotten until the end of the 1970s. Later on, some articles on the subject were written and interventions were carried out under the name of ‘music therapy’. These practices are based on the interventions of music-based practices in hospitals. In 2013, music therapy was included as a discipline in the Department of Traditional and Complementary Medicine of the Ministry of Health. Since 2018, universities have begun to issue certificates of music therapy approved by the Ministry of Health. Since there is no undergraduate, graduate and doctoral level training, the number of music therapists is insufficient in Turkey. Health workers or musicians are performing music-based practices with end-of-life care and dementia patients, and these practices are viewed as music therapy. Ultimately, the services provided in end-of-life care and dementia in Turkey are not music therapy applications, but rather music- based interventions conducted by musicians or healthcare professionals.

The Hashtag #CharlasEducativas as a Teacher Affinity Space on Twitter
Authors: Ingrid Mosquera-Gende  , Paula Marcelo-Martínez  , Ana Yara Postigo-Fuentes  , Manuel Fernández-Navas
Published: April 2024

Twitter has positioned itself as one of the social networks most used by teachers, generating teacher affinity spaces for them to share and collaborate. This study analyses the hashtag #CharlasEducativas, to explore whether it represents a teaching affinity space on this social network. It is a hashtag linked to an educational project created in Spain and related to all educational stages in a cross-cutting manner. Using a mixed methods research, 6073 tweets with the hashtag #CharlasEducativas, published between January 2020 and July 2022, were analysed, including a total of 761 Twitter profiles. Using the software MAXQDA, a category system was developed to classify the most frequent topics in the interactions and to study the tone of the discourse. The social network analysis software Graphext was used for in depth analysis of the profiles with the highest participation. It was confirmed that the characteristics of affinity spaces (collaboration, horizontal nature, creation of community, existence of hierarchy and source of informal learning) were met. The interactions linked to this hashtag are positive, friendly and with a close and relaxed tone, which favours the generation of a group feeling, facilitating informal learning. In addition, the space has a strong hierarchy with leadership roles that allows the information to flow and be fed continuously.
TikTok: análisis de la actividad de la audiencia a partir de los metadatos

Published: April 2024

Con la expansión del «Big Data» y los algoritmos, es necesaria una reflexión profunda sobre cómo investigar las audiencias. Si antes el individuo era ubicado en una categoría social determinante de los gustos culturales, ahora la tecnología digital identifica pautas de comportamiento a partir del registro directo de sus acciones. Este texto explora el tipo de conocimiento que puede obtenerse del análisis de los metadatos teniendo en cuenta el contenido visionado. El trabajo de campo se ha centrado en TikTok; más concretamente, en Ac2ality, cuenta de información con 4,4 millones de seguidores en España (Comscore, 2023). Se han analizado todos los vídeos compartidos durante seis semanas del primer trimestre del año 2023 (n: 173). La finalidad era conocer (a) el grado de coherencia entre los metadatos de una misma pieza y (b) la existencia de correlaciones entre metadatos y tipo de vídeo/contenido. Para cada metadato (comentarios, «me gusta», guardados, compartidos y reproducción), se han establecido cuatro niveles de actividad (bajo, medio, alto y superior). La tendencia mayoritaria señala que los niveles obtenidos por los metadatos de un mismo contenido no son coincidentes, es decir, un vídeo tendrá más o menos alcance según el metadato observado. La homogeneidad de los vídeos hace que solo se detecten correlaciones claras entre tema y metadatos. Los temas con menor presencia pueden alcanzar niveles de actividad altos.
КНЯЗІ МСТИСЛАВСЬКІ ТА ЇХ СІВЕРСЬКІ ВОЛОДІННЯ в XV ст.
Authors: Келембет Станіслав
Published: April 2024

Мета: дослідити історію роду князів Мстиславських, які були відгалуженням династії Ґедиміновичів і найближчими родичами володарів Великого князівства Литовського, протягом XV ст. Особливу увагу приділено фактам приналежності до Мстиславського князівства містечок-волостей, розташованих у межах історичної Сіверської землі – Мглина, Попової Гори та, вірогідно, Дрокова. Методи: застосовано як загально-наукові (аналіз, синтез, дедукція, індукція), так і спеціально-наукові методи дослідження – історико-хронологічний, порівняльно-історичний, історико-генетичний, історичної реконструкції тощо. Новизна: в рамках заявленої теми вперше конкретизуються деякі проблемні епізоди, що стосуються хронології правління князів Мстиславських та складу їх сіверських володінь. На думку автора, Мглинська волость була приєднана до Мстиславського князівства суттєво пізніше його утворення, зокрема в 1406 р. А Попова Гора, імовірніше, опинилась у володінні Мстиславських лише в середині XV ст. Визначається конкретний рік смерті князя Івана Юрійовича – 1485-й. Встановлюється, що після московської окупації Сіверщини 1500 р. Мглин і Попова Гора перейшли у володіння князів Можайських-Стародубських. Висновки: вперше у вітчизняній історіографії критично розглянуто історію роду князів Мстиславських, систематизовану в форматі виокремлених біографічних нарисів, протягом того періоду, коли територія Мстиславського князівства включала деякі північні волості Сіверської землі.

Давно відомо, що прийняття людиною історичних подій, особисті переживання часу, спогади та оцінки сучасників – безцінні джерела для відтворення епохи. Залюднення історії, наповнення її живими людськими свідченнями – є запорука об’єктивнішого та переконливішого її відображення. У цьому контексті его­документи (епістолярій, спогади, щоденники, записки) являють собою неоціненне джерело знань про минувшину. Вони немовби розфарбовують чорно­білу матрицю різноманітними кольорами неповторного людського досвіду.
Tadalafil in Neonates and Infants With Pulmonary Hypertension Secondary to Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Authors: Kiskaddon Amy , Dang Tanaka , Mauriello Daniel
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVES

The primary outcome of this study was to describe the dosing regimen of tadalafil in neonates and infants diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Secondary outcomes included tolerability, efficacy, adverse events, discontinuation of therapy, and changes in echocardiography.

METHODS

This was a single-center, retrospective review of neonates and infants <1 year of age at initiation of tadalafil for PH secondary to BPD from January 2010 to November 2021. Data collected from the electronic medical record included patient demographics, tadalafil dosing, oxygen support, mechanical ventilation, concomitant PH medications, adverse events, and echocardiography information.

RESULTS

Forty-two patients—4 neonates and 38 infants—met the inclusion criteria. The postnatal and post-menstrual age (median, IQR) at diagnosis were 121 (35.5–153.5) days and 42.6 (40.6–47.6) weeks, respectively. The initial and highest tadalafil doses (median, range) were 1 (0.25–2) and 1 (0.5–2) mg/kg/day. Only 1 patient experienced pulmonary overcirculation and required tadalafil to be discontinued. Over half (57.1%) of the patients in this study discontinued tadalafil therapy owing to improvements in pulmonary artery pressures.

CONCLUSIONS

Tadalafil 1 mg/kg/day was the most commonly used dose regimen in neonates and infants. Tadalafil at this dose of 1 mg/kg/day appears well tolerated in neonates and infants with PH secondary to BPD and correlates with improvements in pulmonary artery pressures. Further studies evaluating tadalafil in comparison to other phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors in neonates with PH secondary to BPD are warranted.
Ethanol Content of Medications and Its Effect on Blood Alcohol Concentration in Pediatric Patients
Authors: Chung Emily , Reinaker Kristin , Meyers Rachel
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE

Ethanol is a common excipient used in liquid medications to enhance solubility and inhibit ­bacterial growth. While the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have released guidance for how much ethanol is acceptable in medicines, many medications contain more than the recommended amount. The objective of this study was to determine what effect these medications would have on blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for pediatric patients, defined as those medications that would increase the BAC by ≥2.5 mg/dL.

METHODS

A list of medications dispensed to pediatric patients from a single hospital over a period of 4 months was obtained. The package inserts of these medications were reviewed to determine ethanol content. Typical doses were used to determine the amount of ethanol pediatric patients weighing 10, 20, and 40 kg would receive. The theoretical BAC was then calculated for each medication containing ethanol.

RESULTS

Seven hundred ninety-six medications were dispensed for pediatric patients during the study period, of which 33 contained ethanol. Seven medications would be projected to increase the BAC above 2.5 mg/dL with a normal pediatric dose.

CONCLUSION

While most medications do not contain ethanol, we found 7 that contained enough ethanol to potentially raise the BAC above 2.5 mg/dL. Health care practitioners should consider the ethanol content of medications prior to recommending them in children and when assessing overdoses.
Ekolojik Ekonomi Üzerine Üç Makale: AB Ülkelerinde Ekonomik Büyüme, Çevresel Regülasyonlar ve Teknolojik İnovasyon
Authors: Koçak Elif
Published: April 2024

Sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri doğrultusunda sürdürülebilir bir çevre için ülkeler çeşitli politikalar uygulamaktadırlar. Ancak gelinen noktada küresel ısınmanın artmasıyla birlikte çevre kirliliğini önleme konusunda uygulanan politikaların etkinliği tartışmalara yol açmaktadır. Çevre kirliliği dünyanın ekolojik dengesini bozarak küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliğine yol açmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çevre kirliliğine yol açan etmenlerin araştırılıp, söz konusu bu etmenlere karşı önlem alınması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada ekonomik büyüme, çevresel regülasyonlar ve teknolojik inovasyonun çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkileri 3 ayrı bölümde 3 ayrı model olarak incelenmiştir. İlk olarak ekonomik büyümenin çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkileri Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi çerçevesinde araştırılmıştır. Bunun için, 17 AB ülkesinin (Almanya, Belçika, Avusturya, Danimarka, Bulgaristan, İrlanda, Çekya, Finlandiya, Fransa, İtalya, Lüksemburg, Hollanda Malta, Portekiz, Romanya, Yunanistan ve İspanya) 1993-2018 yılları arası baz alınarak elde edilen veriler ikinci nesil panel veri teknikleriyle analiz edilmiştir. Buna göre ekonomik büyümenin ilk aşamalarında çevre kirliliği artarken, ekonomik büyümenin ilerleyen aşamalarında çevre kirliliğinin azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. İkinci olarak, çevresel regülasyonların çevre üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmış olup; 17 AB ülkesi için 1995-2018 yılları arası baz alınarak elde edilen veriler, ikinci nesil panel veri teknikleriyle analiz edilmiş ve çevresel regülasyonların çevre kirliliğini azalttığı saptanmıştır. Son olarak, teknolojik inovasyonun çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkileri 17 AB ülkesi açısından 1995-2018 yılları arası baz alınarak araştırılmıştır. Buna göre, teknolojik inovasyonun çevre kirliliğini azaltacak düzeye henüz ulaşmadığı saptanmıştır.

Large amount of both historical and modern indices calculated from radio-souding data was developed for the storm prediction. In this work we processed 75 storm indices and other parameters, which could potentially be connected with the storm development. First part of the article is devoted to the effectivity of particular indices with special emphasis on the comparison of various modifications of the convective available potential energy (CAPE). Afterwards there were examined possibilities of the use of various combinations of indices and other parameters, and benefits of these combinations for the thunderstorm forecast. The forecast of the afternoon storms based on midday soundings is analysed in detail, as for this time point, a combination of indices has apparently the biggest benefit.

The aim of the present study is an insight into the history of installing the oldest limnigraph on the Czech Republic´s territory. Despite an undisputed success and progress of the Czech hydrology under the leadership of the Swiss hydrologist Andreas Rudolph Harlacher in 1870–1890, installation of limnigraphs in our country was markedly delayed, as compared to Switzerland, Germany or even within the Austrian Empire. Actually, the first limnigraphs appeared in the above countries some 10–30 years earlier. A digitization of the oldest Czech systematic water level observations and gathering of all archive materials related to the “Staroměstské mlýny” site in Prague resulted in an unexpected finding: the oldest limnigraph recording sheet was revealed, however, for an unknown limnigraph profile. Only two facts were clear, i.e., that the profile of limnigraph was situated in Prague (but unclear were exactly) and that the recording started in November 1900. Our paper answers the basic questions were the limnigraph was located, what instrumentation it included, why the recording was cancelled, and what was the further destiny of this limnigraph. Additionally, we present a brief information on the very beginnings of installation of limnigraphs in the period 1900–1914 on the territory of the present-day Czech Republic.
A Brief Review on Phytochemical Constituent and Pharmacological Activities of Anisomeles malabarica (L.)
Authors: R. Bhuvaneshwari , Anandhan R.
Published: April 2024

Anisomeles malabarica L., also known as ‘Malabar catmint’ and ‘Peiyamuritti’ in local Tamil, is a genus of herbaceous herb in the Lamiaceae family. This Malabar catmint is native to tropical and subtropical India and Sri Lanka. Catmint is regarded as a medicinally significant plant because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-anaphylactic and anti-bacterial properties. It is well-known for its ability to treat a variety of health problems such as dyspepsia, rheumatism, amentia, anorexia, wound healing and swelling, and teething problems in children. Its leaf extract is effective against epilepsy, intestinal worms, halitosis and gout. It is used as astringent, carminative and febrifuge. Because of the presence of various acids such as anisomelic acid, 2 acetoxymalabaric acid, betulinic acid, ovatodiolide, -sitosterol, anisomelyl acetate anisomelin, malabaric acid, triterpenebetulinic acid, geranial acid, and others, this medicinal herb is used not only for medicinal purposes but also as folkloric medicine and in the production of several cosmetics and aromatics. Because the cultivation practices of the medicinally important plant are time consuming, we can use advanced plant cultivation techniques such as tissue culture to produce a large number of plants in a short period of time and in a small area. The purpose of this review paper is to describe the various aspects of A. malabarica botanical description, medicinal values, phytochemistry, pharmacological properties, and cultural practices.

The green transition started speeding up in the European Union together with the European Green Deal. It is a great challenge for rural communities and rural entrepreneurs, not only farmers. Within SHERPA, a Horizon 2020 project, 41 multi-actor platforms were established to discuss rural future in different parts of the EU. In Poland three such platforms were created, including MAP Zielone Sąsiedztwo located in the biggest and most diverse Polish region. The study presents the results of the debates conducted within the rural society-science-policy interfaces focused on the rural vision and challenges and opportunities related to green transition in rural areas of Mazowieckie region. The results show that rural stakeholders see both challenges and opportunities of the green transition. In their opinion a key element should be diversification of rural economy to make it at a regional level more resilient to the challenges already on the horizon and unexpected events such as COVID-19 pandemic and war in the Ukraine.

Published: April 2024

Данная статья посвящена вопросам концептуального восприятия и детализированного прочтения современного музыкального текста. На материале фортепианных пьес уфимского композитора Валерия Скобёлкина разбираются структурные, содержательные компоненты и константы музыкального текста. Обогащение творческого диапазона музыканта приёмами-инструментами конструктивного семантического анализа, заключающегося в расшифровке смысловых структур и их многополярных значений, не только не умаляет и не уменьшает, но, наоборот, увеличивает пространство возможностей, поле вероятностных смыслов, мир звукообразов, творимый исполнителем при воспроизведении, воплощении авторского текста

This article covers the issues of conceptual perception and detailed reading of a contemporary musical text. Through the example of piano compositions by the Ufimian composer Valeriy Skobyolkin, the structural, content-related components and constants of the musical text are analyzed. The enhancement of the musician's creative potential with techniques and tools of the constructive semantic analysis, which consists of decoding sense bearing structures and their multipolar meanings, not only diminishes, but, on the contrary, augments the range of possibilities, the variety of possible meanings, the world of sound patterns, created by the musician while performing the author's text.
