Published: January 2024

Los agentes causantes de las diarreas neonatales en terneros causan grandes pérdidas en los hatos ganaderos. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la frecuencia de patógenos relacionados a la diarrea neonatal bovina en terneros de ranchos ganaderos del Centro y Sur del estado de Veracruz. Se realizó un estudio por conveniencia en seis municipios del estado de Veracruz. Se tomaron muestras de heces directas del recto, se identificaron y refrigeraron hasta su procesamiento. Así mismo, se aplicó una encuesta por animal. Las variables de estudio en los terneros fueron: la edad, el sexo y diarrea. Se utilizó el Kit Rainbow Calf Scours”. Los datos de las encuestas se analizaron con estadística descriptiva a través del programa STATA ver 14.0, se determinó la frecuencia y se realizó una X2. De los 100 terneros muestreados, el 16% fue positivo a la presencia de algún patógeno de la diarrea neonatal bovina. Los ranchos ubicados en Sayula de Alemán, fueron los que presentaron mayores animales positivos con el 42.8%. De acuerdo con el sexo, la mayor frecuencia se presentó en las hembras con el 19.4%.  Con relación a la edad de los animales, la frecuencia fue del 16% para todos los animales. Sin embargo, 15.1% de los animales que no presentaron diarrea fueron positivos a algún patógeno. Se encontró que, de la totalidad de las muestras recolectadas, 2 (2%), 5 (5%), 3 (3%) y 10 (10%) fueron positivas a Cryptosporidium spp, E coli, Coronavirus y Rotavirus respectivamente.

GIFTS OF THE HOLY QUR’AN AND THEIR IMPACT ON MORAL ADVANCEMENT AND BUILDING HUMAN VALUES IN THE LIGHT OF SURAT AL-HUJURAT
Authors: Ali Hamad ALMUKHYTAH Mashaer
Published: January 2024

This research delves into an analysis of the verses of Surah Al-Hujurat, focusing on their elucidation of ethics and human values. The Surah encompasses narratives and events that transpired during the era of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. These events prompted the revelation of verses that provide divine guidance on how to address these incidents, outlining the virtues, morals, and values both individuals and the society should embody. These principles serve as the foundation for societal cohesion, protecting it from discord, division, hatred, and resentment. The study aims to clarify the implications of the verses by extracting the morals and values they advocate, whether by commanding certain behaviors or prohibiting others. This analysis draws from exegetical literature, the interpretations scholars have derived from the verses, as well as books dedicated to ethics
ETYMOLOGY OF WORDS AS INTRODUCTION TO ROOTING AND INVESTMENT OF LINGUISTIC HERITAGE. AN APPLIED STUDY ON THE INSTRUMENT NAMES USED IN TRADITIONAL CRAFTS IN THE SULTANATE OF OMAN
Authors: Muvaffak ALHASAN Muhammed , Saif AL MANEI Ali Salim
Published: January 2024

Etymology is the study of the origins of words, exploring how words reproduce and multiply by examining the roots of words, the sound and semantic changes that have occurred over time, attempting to reconstruct an identity card for the word that shows its origin and the path it has taken over time until it reached its current state. Despite the extreme importance of etymological studies in documenting linguistic heritage, clarifying its roots, and linking it to the standard language, etymological dictionaries are still scarce in the Arabic library in general. This research aims to shed light on the importance of etymological studies in rooting linguistic heritage, reproducing its links to the standard language, and investing it if possible by recycling it, through an applied experiment on a set of names of tools used in traditional calligraphy in the Sultanate of Oman. This etymological study aims to create a historical profile for each word by studying its etymology, and its origin from which it descended. It distinguishes between words with Arabic roots and borrowed words from other languages, if any. Then it studies the sound and semantic changes that these words have undergone until they reached their current form.

THE ROLE OF MEDIA CULTURE IN PROMOTING SOCIAL VALUES IN MEDIA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE “VALUE PARADIGM”
Authors: SACI Djalila
Published: January 2024

This research aims to explore and understand the vital role played by media culture in promoting and transmitting social values from the perspective of the "Value Paradigm." Therefore, it is essential to empower and equip media culture with the goal of shaping individuals and instilling in them critical thinking, social values, correct attitudes, and skills from media sources. The "Value Perspective" imparts an ethical view of media culture, attempting to recognize the exclusion of the "values" variable from its components, derived from the cultural and civilizational context of this vision from the outset. Excluding this variable from the analysis and interpretation process has led many media studies in the Islamic environment to produce distorted copies of Western studies. This "paradigm" does not oppose foreign theories but enriches them with variables that express cultural and civilizational differences and distinctions in social, economic, political, and cultural experiences

Published: January 2024

The advertising discourse is one of the discourses that penetrated the society largely. The scholar, who studies it, does not give up trying to analyze its representations and its compact structure; the linguistics and met linguistics. We found that this kind of discourse with its different purposes, economic, social… performs instructive and influential tasks in order to convince the receiver. The receiver receives the discourse in a teaser image in which language and audiovisual mechanisms have been overlapped. In the present study, we intended to apply some theoretical data in analyzing advertisements. That one may stand at the cultural representations deposited in the language of the advertising discourse. Also we intended to examine the extent of its importance in creating ideational affiliation and preserving the collective cultural memory. We relied on the descriptive method beside the analysis. It is the appropriate methods to analyze the advertisement discourse, in which we have to decipher all the meaningful code. We concluded that the producer of the advertisement discourse, uses the cultural representations in intentional to access the society’s memory and cultural identity. In this way, the producer can achieve the promotional goals. We also reached through the language of the advertisement discourse to examine the ideological and socio-cultural reality stacked in reflective patterns.
“THE EXTENT OF THE DIFFICULTIES TO LEARN READING ENCOUNTERED BY PRIMARY STAGE STUDENTS AT HAIFA DISTRICT SCHOOLS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THEIR TEACHERS”
Authors: AZAB Shirin
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to identify the degree of reading difficulties that students face in the primary stage in Haifa District schools from the point of view of their teachers. The researcher used the descriptive survey method to achieve the study's objectives. On the scale of Alawneh's study (Alawneh, 2023) to measure the difficulties of reading that face students in the primary stage in public schools in Haifa District schools from the point of view of teachers, it consisted of (30) items distributed on three axes. The results were most important in that the degree of reading difficulties faced by students in the primary stage in Haifa District schools from the point of view of their teachers is average. It was found that there are statistically significant differences at the significance level (α = 0.05) in the average responses of the study sample regarding the degree of reading difficulties they face. His request for the primary stage in public schools in Haifa district schools is due to the variables (sex, educational qualification). Based on the study's results, the most important recommendations were the need to rearrange reading subjects in primary schools, especially for fourth grade students, and to work to take into account the psychological factors of the child and his stages of development when arranging Reading topics in the Arabic language textbook
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS IN THE NEW MEDIA ENVIRONMENT: IMPORTANCE AND CHALLENGES
Authors: BERARDI Naima
Published: January 2024

There is no doubt that the developments in the field of technology and the information revolution that the contemporary world is witnessing are one of the most important major historical developments in human history. These current developments have led to major changes in the field of the media industry and the patterns of information consumption, production, dissemination, and sharing of its contents, which in turn has made the media sector divided into two areas: Traditional media: which includes newspapers, magazines, radio and television. New media: which is mainly based on new technology and the flow of information via the internet, mobile phones, applications, programs and social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others...... Considering that technological, scientific and technical development of any kind can be a double-edged sword, which has prompted legislators to regulate these areas in a way that serves media ethics and human rights of various kinds and avoid attacking them, we will try in this research paper to reveal the most important mechanisms developed by the Algerian legislator in the service of media ethics and to preserve the rights of citizens or what is known as the right to privacy

tuberculóides reacionais
Authors: Opromolla Diltor Vladimir Araujo , Ura Somei , Ghidella Cassio
Published: January 2024

Os autores selecionaram 20 casos entre aqueles considerados reacionais com reação tipo I generalizada, e com manifestações clínicas e histopatológicas semelhantes, e com uma reação de Mitsuda positiva, igual ou maior que 6mm. Os pacientes foram estudados do ponto de vista clinico, baciloscópico, histopatológico e evolutivo. As lesões clinicas se apresentavam como pápulas e placas eritematosas, bem delimitadas e havia pouco comprometimento neural. A baciloscopia foi negativa ou positiva fraca e a histopatologia exibia granulomas tuberculóides frouxos devido ao edema intra e extracelular e a congestão vascular. Nestes casos os surtos não se repetiram ou o fizeram somente mais uma vez. Consideram os autores a possibilidade deles serem devidos a multiplicação bacilar. A destruição dos bacilos pelas defesas orgânicas liberariam antígenos que desencadeariam uma reação de hipersensibilidade retardada que é o surto reacional. Estes casos estão bem caracterizados e acham que é importante admitir sua existência não só pelo seu significados para um melhor conhecimento da doença como também por sua implicação na terapêutica, visto que são casos com múltiplas lesões e paucibacilares.

Authors: Nogueira Wagner , Marzliak Mary Lise Carvalho , Gonçalves Otília S. J. , Brasil Mitie Tada L.R.F.
Published: January 2024

Os avanços na terapêutica e a implantação da poliquimioterapia, bem como as mudanças no conceito de cura conduziram a uma nova realidade na história secular da hanseníase no mundo, invertendo-se o fluxo de entradas e saídas do registro ativo de doentes, com importante queda do coeficiente de prevalência. No Brasil, após grandes investimentos na reorganização de serviços, com ênfase na capacita cão de pessoal e suprimento de medicamentos, os resultados da poliquimioterapia foram marcantes a partir de 1991. No Estado de São Paulo a série histórica de 1924 a 1994 da Prevalência mostra um decréscimo desde a década de 70, sendo esta redução bem mais acentuada a partir de 1991 com a implantação em massa da poliquimioterapia. Os resultados deste esquema no mundo foram avaliados na 445 Conferência Mundial de Saúde, na qual os países membros comprometeram-se a eliminar a hanseníase como problema de Salida Pública até o ano 2.000. Finalizando são apresentadas as expectativas de alcance desta meta pelo Brasil e Estado de São Paulo identificando-se como principais obstáculos para a redução da prevalência a níveis de eliminação os critérios normatizados para alta estatística e a possibilidade de ocorrência de recidivas, em fase de estudos.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: Ancient higher education has excellent teaching and research. Takshila University has produced scholars such as Chanakya, author of the great book Arthashastra, Panini, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and grammarian, Charaka, the father of Indian medicine, Surgeon Jivaka Kumarabhattaa, Sharada Peetha Temple University has 5000 scholars like Kumarajiva Buddhist scholar, Thonmi Sambhota and Library, Pushapagiri University, Kanthalloor Sabha in Kerala, and Ujjaini University Alumni Brahmgupa and Bhaskar II. Dipankar Sri-Jnana, a prominent Vikramasila scholar, released over 200 volumes, while Mithila, a centre of Brahminical culture, produced intellectuals like Jagaddhara, who created writings such as Gita and Gita Govinda. These are the world's oldest institutions; no Institutional Repositories were discovered during the Vedic period, but the Buddhist period gave rise to Institutional Repositories, which house collections of books on various subjects. Scholars and students rely on institutional repositories. Takshashila University students come from all across Aryavrat, as well as from places like Greece, Arabia, Japan, Indonesia, Mongolia, and China. Nalanda University specializes in Buddhist education, but it also offers other courses. It contains a massive Institutional Repository of manuscripts from many curricula and Sanskrit texts totalling 5,00,000 shlokas. During the fifteenth century, Tibetan scholar Taranatha wrote about the nine-story library of Nalanda University with 9 million manuscripts and the Saraswati Mahal manuscript library of Tanjore in his travelogues about the Nalanda institutional repository namely Ratnasagara, Ratnodadhi, and Ratnaranjaka located in a complex called 'Dharmaganja'. The University Institutional Repository provides services to its members and community to threaten the institution's visibility, standing, and public ideals.

Tensiones entre el currículum formal y el vivido: Incidentes críticos que trastocaron la identidad docente durante la pandemia
Authors: Caballero Guichard Tamara Paola , Díaz Barriga Arceo Frida
Published: January 2024

La pandemia por COVID-19 ha representado un momento histórico en la educación, siendo un catalizador tanto de problemas coyunturales como de la visibilización de los docentes como actores y agentes curriculares, los cuales habitan un espacio dialógico y altamente tensionado entre lo prescrito por externos y lo que realmente acontece con sus alumnos. En este artículo se analizan las tensiones que vivió un docente de educación primaria al transitar entre el currículum como un plan y como vivido en la pandemia. Este análisis se basa en resultados preliminares obtenidos de un estudio biográfico narrativo que considera datos recopilados a través de entrevistas y narrativas de incidentes críticos. Los resultados revelan que el docente enfrentó tensiones curriculares relacionadas con los lenguajes y contenidos de los instrumentos curriculares, las expectativas sobre los actores educativos, su formación y los cambios en las disposiciones institucionales. Estas tensiones afectaron aspectos de su identidad docente, incluyendo el plano emocional, el epistemológico, el ideológico y el relacional.

The ‘Loose Use’ of Figurative Language in Pakistani TEDx Talks A Perspective of Relevance Theory
Authors: Munir Tahira , Sultan Sheba Rose , Kunwar Irfana
Published: January 2024

The current study utilised a qualitative approach to implement thematic analysis of the ‘loose use’ of figurative language in TEDx Talks, focusing on irony, hyperbole, and metaphor, within the framework of Relevance Theory by Wilson and Sperber, which states that the successful interpretation of figurative language depends on its own optimal relevance to the context. Two speeches from TEDx Pakistan, delivered in English, serve as the data sources. This qualitative study attempts to identify whether figurative utterances used in public speaking facilitate an appropriate interpretation of ideas. The study found that metaphor, hyperbole, and irony enhance communication without complicating interpretation. Metaphors connect details to the main message, hyperboles convey emotions vividly, and irony, when used appropriately, maintains meaningful communication. Also, strong implicatures are communicated instantly based on context and speaker attitude. This research suggests that mindful use of figurative language can empower public speakers to connect with audiences more deeply, paving the way for more impactful and memorable communication. There is a wide scope for future research in the public discourse of Pakistani English.
Empowering Tomorrow A Systematic Approach to STEM Education Pedagogy for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals and Students' Conceptual Understanding
Authors: Ahsan Nighat
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this research was to compare three different approaches to STEM education in terms of their impact on students' retention of STEM concepts and their ability to apply those concepts in real-world contexts: project-based learning, problem-based learning, and inquiry-based learning. Sixty (60) students in 9th grade made up the study's research sample. A cooperative teacher assisted them in their education. Two groups were formed from the participants. In contrast to the experimental group, which received training based on STEM concepts, the control group received more conventional methods of instruction. A 2x3 factorial design was utilised in the quantitative and experimental studies. We used the conceptual understanding in STEM subjects test (CUSST) to quantify students' grasp of STEM concepts. The study's primary findings indicated that STEM instructional strategies increased students' conceptual comprehension. All three phases of teacher preparation (pre-service, induction, and in-service) should incorporate STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) instructional practices into the science curriculum and training modules. The incorporation of STEM fields has the potential to enhance science education programmes, methodology, textbooks, and curricula. Stakeholders may be able to use this study as a springboard to investigate current teacher professional development programmes for gaps.

Effect of Graphene on Corrosion Resistance of Low Zinc Epoxy Coatings Applied to Low-Carbon Steel
Authors: Wang Jialing , Liu Yang , Cai Huayang , Shao Yawei , Xu Zhengyi , Wang Yanqiu , Wang Junyi
Published: January 2024

To reduce the consumption of zinc resources, it is necessary to reduce the zinc powder content of epoxy zinc-rich coatings. However, the reduced zinc powder content tends to reduce the degree of connectivity in the layer, which leads to a reduction in the corrosion resistance of the coating. The effective zinc powder content was also reduced. Therefore, it is important to increase the connection capacity of the zinc powder in the coating while reducing the amount of zinc powder. In this paper, an epoxy coating with low zinc content is prepared by using flake zinc powder instead of spherical zinc powder. It also uses graphene to connect zinc powder in the coating to increase the electrical conductivity of the zinc powder in the coating. This results in an increase in the protection of the coating determined, although the cathodic protection of the coating was not prolonged by the results of open-circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In addition, when the zinc powder in the coating is cleanly consumed, the complex nature of corrosion product formed with graphene can increase the barrier resistance of the coating thereby increasing the corrosion resistance.
Short- to Medium-Term Corrosion of Mild Steel in Highly Calcareous Seawaters: Effects of Calcium Carbonate Concentration, Coupon Orientation, and Nutrient Addition
Authors: Richardson Peter J. , Melchers Robert E.
Published: January 2024

Mild steels exposed to marine immersion conditions in which carbonate solubilities are exceeded, leading to deposition of calcareous material, have been shown to exhibit much-reduced corrosion rates compared with corrosion under conditions in which there is no exceedance of solubility limits and therefore no calcareous deposition. However, the differences in corrosion including the potential effect of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in these conditions have not been examined systematically in the literature. The study reported herein involves short- to medium-term marine immersion exposures (up to 18 month) of mild steel coupons in natural seawater (control) and in environments using the same seawater source dosed with (1) CaCO3, acting as an inorganic particulate suspension representative of that encountered in seawater with elevated calcareous content; and (2) a nitrate salt, acting as an industrial pollutant and bacterial nutrient source. The results show the extent to which the deposition of particulate CaCO3 from suspension in seawater onto and into the rusts reduces the rate of corrosion of mild steel; a rate that was found to be dependent on the coupon orientation within the seawater. Coupons that were permanently buried beneath a cap of settled CaCO3 particles exhibited a 70% reduction in corrosion rate compared with the representative control coupons. The results also show that for these exposure durations and conditions, while iron-related bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria populations were identified in high concentrations (respectively ∼1 × 106 cfu/g and ∼1 × 102 to 4 × 106 cfu/g, depending on coupon orientation) within the rust products themselves after 18 month of exposure, there was no clear evidence of MIC. These findings indicate that short and medium-term (nonaccelerated) studies of MIC for mild steel are insufficient or even misleading for the prediction of long-term corrosion rates in these environments.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a implementação do planejamento energético nas políticas públicas brasileiras. Através de pesquisa quali-quantitativa, realizou-se primeiramente o levantamento de dados de irradiação solar no território brasileiro, enfatizando o Estado de Santa Catarina e de investimentos no setor fotovoltaico realizados na área de estudo, desenvolveu-se uma análise sobre a Lei de Ordenamento Territorial do Município de Joinville, SC. Desta forma, concluiu-se que o país ainda não apresenta planos ou políticas eficientes que preparem o desenho urbano das cidades para otimizar a geração eficiente de energia solar.

Contexto e Objetivo: Refletir e correlacionar sistematicamente as discussões que perpassam pelo binômio crescimento urbano versus desenvolvimento sustentável, evidentemente propõe uma integração de discussões sob a tríade: Urbanização, Problema Ambiental e Ciência Ambiental. Isto em função de que a Ciência Ambiental é uma ciência multifacetada que adentra diversos campos teóricos e pragmáticos, contudo, centraliza suas discussões sob o prisma do “Problema Ambiental”, que neste estudo, é discutido sob as bases do processo de urbanização. Método: Para operacionalizar esses conceitos, bem como estruturar uma exploração descritivo-analítica, esta pesquisa adotou-se a estratégia de revisão integrativa da literatura, tendo uma abordagem qualitativa e procedimento exploratório. Nesse sentido, as discussões que sistematizam e analisam o tema em epígrafe, são divididas em duas percepções, 1) a conexão entre a Urbanização, o Problema Ambiental e a Nova Agenda Urbana - NAU; e 2) Urbanização: problemas sociais, ambientais e seus desafios globais, sendo que a junção desses elementos propõe as discussões inerentes ao tema em epígrafe. Resultados: Diante disso, os reflexos e apontamentos finais rementem à ideia inicial-central que consiste em evidenciar a integração-distorção existente na tríade Urbanização, Problema Ambiental e Ciência Ambiental como sendo o caminho necessário para compreender o conteúdo existente entre o Crescimento Urbano e o Desenvolvimento Sustentável.

The international Pediatric Oncology Exercise Guidelines (iPOEG) support physical activity among children and adolescents affected by cancer. Knowledge translation efforts are needed to ensure that those who will use and/or benefit from the iPOEG have access to it. This mixed-methods study followed co-production principles as guided by an integrated knowledge translation approach within the Knowledge to Action (KTA) Framework, to engage end-users (i.e., professionals and patients/caregivers) to: (1) identify the types of resources needed; (2) co-produce an iPOEG brand; (3) co-produce resources and content; and (4) co-produce dissemination plans to distribute the iPOEG Toolkit (i.e., resources and content). End-users indicated requiring resources such as posters, infographics, social media posts, and videos, and co-created resource content covering quick tips to get active and movement-related education and information. Generated strategies to disseminate the iPOEG Toolkit included: (1) academic presentations; (2) brief education sessions and facilitated discussions to different end-user groups; (3) engaging champions from different end-user groups; (4) emails and email reminders; (5) mainstream news outlets (e.g., newspaper, magazines, or segments on the television [i.e., local news]); and (6) social media. Co-production of the iPOEG Toolkit and dissemination plan were guided by two phases within the KTA framework to build tools that can promote the reach of the iPOEG, ultimately increasing physical activity in this population.
Building history awareness through Kartini Film (2017) in History Subject learning at the high school
Authors: Merryasni Arlyan
Published: January 2024

A problem that often occurs during the process of learning history at the high school level is the tendency to receive information that is only delivered from teachers to students. The main goal in history learning is to build students' historical awareness individually or in groups achieved through a learning process. History subject learning in schools is more likely to use the lecture method so that history is often analogous to memorizing an event or figures in history. This kind of method pays less attention to intellectual skills and understanding of history awareness for the students. Therefore, a learning strategy is needed to build historical awareness for students so that history is no longer seen as mere rote knowledge. Currently, Generation Z is still in high school. Their general nature tends to be practical, which makes them ignorant of history. Historical films, especially Kartini film (2017), can invite students to understand the importance of historical awareness about past events that affect the present. In this study, the authors used a qualitative approach where this research is descriptive. This study aims to find out or describe the reality of the events under investigation to find out and understand how to build historical awareness through the Kartini film for generation Z. Results of this study show that students can realize historical events through the Kartini film and even able to explain in detail about the problems that occurred at that time and bring it to today's modern issues. Students can build historical values through film because film involves all the emotions within themselves. Learning history is no longer just sharing information from teachers to students but can be through the feelings presented in historical films.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is the formation of theoretical foundations for the development of accounting in forestry enterprises in response to the challenges of the concept of sustainable development, in terms of the development of accounting support for the reproduction of forest resources of Ukraine for the purpose of their preservation and restoration during and after the wartime.

Results. The accounting system in the forest industry needs a conceptual review, as it does not reflect the real economic essence of operations that take place with forest resources. The inconsistency of the methodical provision of accounting for operations with forest resources to national and international accounting standards was revealed, as the existing method overestimates the liquidity of the company's assets. Accounting support for the reproduction of forest resources is proposed, which is based on the identification and grouping of costs for the reproduction of forest crops and contributes to the formation of complete and reliable information about the structure of the company’s assets and their liquidity. The proposals are aimed at increasing the efficiency of forest asset management based on accounting information at the stage of forest resource reproduction to accelerate their recovery during and after wartime.

Scientific novelty. For the management of forest resources based on the principles of sustainable development, it is necessary to form a new procedure for displaying information on forest use operations in the reporting of forestry enterprises. It was established that the reporting of Ukrainian enterprises in the part of forest utilization operations does not reflect the specifics of the activities of forestry enterprises and does not allow to estimate the costs of conservation, reproduction and use of forest resources.

Practical value. A procedure for disclosing information on forest use operations in reporting has been developed, which provides for the display of forest resources as part of long-term biological assets. And directions for expanding the indicators of the Notes to the annual financial statements and the information content of the Report on sustainable development in the part of forest use operations aimed at satisfying the informational interests of stakeholders of forestry enterprises are also proposed. Disclosure of information about the state and reproduction of forest resources will contribute to the reliable formation of indicators of the country’s national wealth and will allow to increase the level of investment attractiveness of domestic enterprises in the forest industry to maintain and restore their economic condition during and after wartime.
