Authors: Trintignac Pascal , Champenois Jennifer
Published: June 2022

La pisciculture extensive en étang est une activité fragile économiquement. Les pratiques de cette activité permettent une gestion durable des étangs. La Région Pays de la Loire a mis en place dès 2010 des Actions Régionales de Gestion Durable des Etangs. Le principe est de préserver et promouvoir la production régionale extensive de poissons en étangs dans un double objectif économique et de préservation des milieux. A ce jour, plus de 600 ha d’étangs ont été concernés par ces actions permettant ainsi le maintien ou la relance d’une activité piscicole sur ces masses d’eau.
Integrating Concepts of TILT Into Teaching Modalities and Courses
Authors: Hamilton Whitney N.
Published: June 2022

A student's background, as it relates to limited higher education preparation, fewer resources, and a lack of prior familial college attendance, presents obstacles to student learning. Although many students face academic challenges, minority students are more likely to be academically disadvantaged, have disabilities, come from low socio-economic strata, are first-generation college students, and thus, are at higher risk for degree non-completion. Transparency in Learning and Teaching is a proven learning framework to remove those obstacles and improve the success of all students, especially those who are historically underrepresented. Students who are unfamiliar with the college experience and strategies for academic success benefit the most from transparent teaching approaches. TILT methods have the potential to narrow the racial achievement gap and improve the educational experiences of students. This chapter provides a clear framework for implementing TILT concepts into course modalities and assignments.

Drying is an important step in the post-harvest processes as a way of product conservation and quality preservation. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous and intermittent drying of maize grains with different rest periods on the integrity of their micro- and macroscopic structures. Maize grains were harvested with a moisture content of 0.3399 ± 0.001 dry basis (db) and subjected to continuous and intermittent drying with 4, 8, 12, and 16 hours of rest period. An experimental fixed-bed dryer, with controlled drying air conditions at a temperature of 100 °C and air flow of 1.5 m3 min.−1 m−2 (12 m3 min.−1 m−3), was used. Continuous drying was completed with a moisture content of 0.1628 ± 0.0003 db, whereas intermittent drying was interrupted with 0.2195 ± 0.0002 db and resumed after rest. The drying rate, integrity through grain images, the conformation of particles through scanning electron microscopy, and cell membrane integrity were evaluated. The drying rate increased with an increase in the rest period, the increase in rest period reduced the intensity of cracks, and the reduction in rest period led to higher dispersion and reduction in the size of starch granules and lower integrity of cell membranes.

One of the great challenges of the beet and cowpea cultivation in crop association is to maintain their productivity as that of their sole counterparts in semi-arid environment. In this context, the objective of this work is to assess whether there is bio-agroeconomic return in associations of beet-cowpea by the optimization of population densities and spatial arrangements of the component crops. Experiments were performed in randomised complete block designs with treatments arranged in a 4 × 3 factorial scheme, with four replications. The first factor was the population densities of cowpea (100, 80, 60, and 40% of the recommended population in single crop - RPSC) in association with beet, and the second factor was the spatial arrangements (2:2, 3:3, and 4:4), formed by beet (B) rows alternating with cowpea (C) rows. The competition and agronomic indices evaluated were aggressiveness, competitive ratio, land equivalent ratio, actual yield loss, intercropping advantage and the productive efficiency index. The economic indicators evaluated were gross income, net income, rate of return and profit margin. High agro-economic efficiency can be obtained in the cultivation of beet and cowpea intercropping when well-managing the factors of production, population densities and spatial arrangement of the component crops. The greatest agro-economic return of the cowpea and beet intercropping was obtained in the population densities of 40 and 100% of RPSC for cowpea and beet, respectively. The 2:2 spatial arrangement between beet and cowpea crops was the one with the best productive performance and higher indicators of economic return. The cowpea was the dominant crop while the beet was dominated.

Authors: Marianti Aditya , Anggraito Yustinus Ulung , Christijanti Wulan
Published: June 2022

The potential of chitosan as a blood lead chelator and an antioxidant had been proven, yet its ability was still not optimal. Chitosan had a relatively large molecular size, which reduced the effectivity of its distribution towards the tissues. Gamma Co-60 irradiation technique was presumably applicable to solve the issue. The antioxidant activity of chitosan could also be optimized by the addition of vitamin E. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant activity of the combination of Gamma Co-60 irradiated chitosan and vitamin E in lead acetate-induced rats. Twenty-four rats, which were distributed in six groups, were treated using the combination of gamma Co-60 irradiated chitosan at a dose of 150 kGy and vitamin E 1000 IU. All groups, except for the naïve group, were induced with lead acetate. The positive control group was induced with only lead acetate, while treatment group 1 had an additional treatment of irradiated chitosan. The treatment groups 2-4 were treated using the combination of irradiated chitosan and vitamin E in increasing doses respectively for forty days. Blood serum was collected for measurement of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and Malondialdehyde (MDA). The results showed that the provided treatment increased the enzymatic activity of SOD, CAT, and GPx, and reduced the MDA level in lead acetate-induced rats. However, as the vitamin E dosage was increased, it posed several side effects. It was concluded that the combination Gamma Co-60 irradiated chitosan and vitamin E increased the activity of various endogenous antioxidant enzymes and decreased lipid peroxidation, dependent on the amount of vitamin E.

Authors: Muluneh Essey Kebede , Molla Habitu Liyew
Published: June 2022

The number of children wanted in one’s lifetime is one of the major factors influencing population dynamics. Knowing the factors influencing the desired family size is crucial in regulating the population growth of a nation. This study assesses the desired number of children and its determinants among Ethiopian women. The study used the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) data where samples were selected using two stage stratified random sampling. A total of 13,941 women with complete information on the study variables were considered in the study. Generalized linear model was used to identify determinant factors for the desired number of children among women in Ethiopia. The average number of children desired per women was 4.9. The random intercept negative binomial regression model was found to best fit the data. The model identified that women’s age, household head, contraception, wealth index, women’s education, religion, marital status, husband’s work, family size and age at first marriage were significantly associated with women’s desire for children (p < 0.05). Women who had attained a higher level of education preferred a smaller family size compared to women with no formal education. Desire for more children was high among mothers from rural areas, women in the poorest economic level and women having no work. Educating women and engaging them in income generating activities should be among the priority policy agendas.

The poor geology of Sangayan Diriya village has barred residents from getting access to water from the groundwater in their homes from time immemorial. This study was aimed at assessing the quality of boreholes sunk in close proximity to River Diriya wherein eight water samples were aseptically collected from the two available boreholes; borehole A (BA1, BA2, BA3 and BA4) and borehole B (BB1, BB2, BB3 and BB4). Standard procedures were employed for determining physicochemical properties, while pour plate method and most probable number (MPN) were used to estimate total viable bacterial counts and coliform count in the water collected, respectively. Results were compared with World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) permissible standards. Results indicated pH, temperature, total hardness, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), sulphate, nitrate, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and nitrate conformed to regulated standards, but mean phosphate concentration (1.79 mg/L) was above WHO allowable limit. However, out of the six heavy metals estimated in the water samples, i.e., Cadmium, Iron, Copper, Arsenic, Lead and Chromium, mean Iron concentration (1.16 mg/L) and mean Arsenic concentration (0.37 mg/L) were above allowable limits. The highest total viable bacterial count (6.3 × 104 CFU/mL) was recorded in BA2. Using the MPN method, BA4 recorded the highest coliform count (14 MPN/100 mL) while BB2 recorded the lowest coliform count (7 MPN/100 mL) each above WHO allowable limit. The findings in this study indicated that the water samples did not meet regulated standards and should be subjected to suitable treatment before drinking.

The aim of this study is to assess image classification accuracy using the instrumentality of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). It is focused on evaluating the accruable benefits of Principal Component Analysis as part of an image preprocessing procedure for image classification. Land use land cover (LULC) and accuracy assessment datasets were obtained with remote sensing and geographic information system’s software. The principal component analysis was statistically used to assess the level of correlation amongst bands in Landsat 8. The image classification was premised on the Maximum Likelihood classifier for land use land cover analysis. To ascertain the accuracy of the classified images, the Producer’s accuracy, User’s accuracy and Kappa coefficient derivatives of accuracy assessment was calculated. The results revealed that the first three PCs of the raw Landsat data accounted for 99.37 % variance of the original Landsat data, while the last three PCs represented only 0.63% of the original data. The results of land use land cover based on raw bands composite were Forest (41%), Shrubs (33%) and Built-up (26%) respectively. On the other hand, land use land cover based on Principal Component Analysis showed Forest (39%), Shrubs (39%) and Built-up (22%) respectively. Comparing the results of Kappa coefficients of both LULC of raw bands’ composite was 0.88 while that of PCA was 0.91. Conclusively, there is a significant level of difference in the classification outputs of PCA derived classification and that of raw Landsat bands’ composite.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of digital technology on undergraduate students’ academics. It was guided by two objectives and one null hypothesis. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 378 undergraduate students was used for the study using a multistage sampling technique. Perceived Influence of Digital Technology on Undergraduate Students’ Academics Questionnaire (PIDTUSAQ) was used as an instrument for data collection. Cronbach Alpha analysis was used to estimate the internal consistency of the instrument and reliability coefficient value of 0.79. Research question was answered with descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. The null hypothesis was tested using independent t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Findings revealed negative influence of digital technology on undergraduate students’ academics as most of the students struggle with balancing the use of their smart phones/computers for pleasure and proper academic engagement. It was also discovered that gender had influence on the impact of digital technology on undergraduate students’ academics with females being the most influenced. Based on this, it was recommended that time management should be emphasized among undergraduate students to prevent distractions orchestrated by the inappropriate use of digital technology. Time hiatus for essential activity should be recognized and organized by students.

MFAP2 contributes to the proliferation and motility of lung cancer cells via Wnt/β-catenin pathway
Authors: He Xiuyun , Qiao Yunfeng
Published: June 2022

Purpose: To measure microfibrillar-associated protein 2 (MFAP2) expression levels in lung cancer and identify its role in lung cancer.Methods: Immunoblots and PCR were used to determine the expression of MFAP2 in lung cancer cell lines. The effects of MFAP2 on the viability and apoptosis of lung cancer cells were evaluated by CCK-8, colony formation, and flow cytometry (FCM) assays, while wound healing and Transwell assays were used to assess the effects of MFAP2 on the motility and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of lung cancer cells. Immunoblot assays were also performed to determine the effect of MFAP2 on the Wnt/β-catenin axis in lung cancer cells.Results: MFAP2 was highly expressed in lung cancer cells. Depletion of MFAP2 suppressed the viability and stimulated apoptosis in these cells (p < 0.01). In addition, knockdown of MFAP2 suppressed the motility and EMT of lung cancer cells (p < 0.01). MFAP2 mediated the Wnt/β-catenin axis and affected the viability and motility of lung cancer cells.Conclusion: MFAP2 is a promising target for lung cancer treatment.

Purpose: To investigate the pharmacological effect of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription Danxiong particles (TDX105) and its mechanism of action.Methods: The active compound and targets of TDX105 were investigated via network pharmacology. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were enriched, and protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed. A network of ‘components-targets-pathways’ was developed with Cytoscape 3.8.0 software, while the formation of molecular docking analysis was conducted using Autodock vina software.Results: There were 304 compounds and 482 targets identified in total. Genes with degree ≥ mean node values were selected as the crucial targets, and string database was to be combined to 64 targets identified with cytoscape so as to draw a protein interaction map. A total of 137 pathways were enriched from 64 targets involving mainly 10 pathways, for example, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, human cytomegalovirus infection and focal adhesion. Then, compound-target and compoundtarget- pathways were constructed using cytoscape (3.8.0). Finally, the five most active compounds, viz, quercetin, myricetin, luteolin, ellagic acid and kaempferol, and the top ten targets AKT1, GAPDH, TP53, ALB, EGFR, MAPK3, JUN, MAPK1, SRC and ESR1 were selected for molecular docking. These targets and compounds had strong interactions through a combination of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic forces.Conclusion: The mechanism of action of TDX105 has been successfully explained using the combination of network pharmacology and molecular docking. This may offer a solid foundation to the clinical use of TDX105, and further strengthen the prospects of its development for clinical use.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: To investigate the spectrum-effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and the inhibitory effect on MUC5AC mucin of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine (PRPCA).Methods: The fingerprints of 20 PRPCA batches were established using HPLC and their similarities or differences were analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA). The inhibitory effects of MUC5AC mucin were evaluated in LPS-treated NCI-H292 cells. The spectrum-effect relationship between common chromatographic peaks and MUC5AC inhibition was established using a partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA).Results: Fifteen common chromatographic peaks were identified by analyzing HPLC fingerprints, with uridine, tyrosine, uracil, and inosine found as possible markers to distinguish the PRPCA from different sources. Spectrum-effect relationship analysis showed that the chromatographic peaks 5, 6, 10 (vernine), 12 (5-hydroxymethylfurfural), 14 (tryptophan) and 15 (adenosine) were closely associated with the inhibitory effect on MUC5AC mucin.Conclusion: The spectrum-effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and the inhibitory effect on MUC5AC mucin of PRPCA was successfully established in the present study. Our findings further reveal the material basis of PRPCA and provide an effective method for its quality control.

Published: June 2022

Chemical compositions and antimicrobial activities of twenty-two Aloe vera branded commercial products in Tanzania, a case of marketed soaps, creams, lotions, petroleum jelly, toothpastes and hair conditioner products in Dar es Salaam, were investigated. Chemical compositions were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) whereas antimicrobial activities were evaluated using agar dilution method against four bacteria species, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoneae and Salmonella typhi) and two fungal species Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of seven non-polar constituents, namely methyl palmitate, 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, methyl stearate, tetratetracontane, hexacosane, and pentacosane and methyl tetradecanoate as the most common ingredients among the products. Eleven compounds were detected in both the commercial products and reference A. vera extracts. The commercial products AVC5 and AVL3 inhibited the growth of E. coli and S. typhi at minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 7.5 and 12.5% (v/v), respectively, whereas AVC2 and AVC5 inhibited the growth of C. albicans and C. neoformans at 5.0% (v/v). AVC6 had 7.5 and 15.0% (v/v) MICs for C. neoformans and C. albicans, respectively. Other commercial products and the reference A. vera extracts were inactive against the tested microbes at a screening concentration of 10.0 mg/mL.

Effects of Temperature and Salinity on Incubation Time, Hatching Success, and Larvae Survival of the Giant Tiger Prawn Penaeus monodon under Experimental Conditions
Authors: Ndunguru Sawadi , Njau Marcelian , Lugendo Blandina Robert
Published: June 2022

Prawns are commercially one of the most important marine resources. However, in their early developmental stages, they face challenges related to physico-chemical and environmental changes. This study aimed at investigating the effects of temperature and salinity on egg incubation time, hatching success, larval and postlarval survival of the giant tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius 1798) obtained from the coastal waters of Tanzania. The adult females P. monodon collected off Rufiji delta were left to acclimatize and spawn at 28.5 ± 0.5 °C and 32 ppt in the hatchery. Spawned eggs were incubated at experimental temperatures of 27 °C, 31 °C and 35 °C with three subgroups of salinities of 30 ppt, 35 ppt and 40 ppt. The incubation time was longest (15.2 hours) at 27 °C and 30 ppt, and shortest (10.7 hours) at 35 °C and 40 ppt. Hatching success was highest (85.2%) at 31 °C temperature and 30 ppt salinity, and lowest (69.45%) at 35 °C and 40 ppt. Larval and postlarval survival was suitable at 27–31 °C and 30–35 ppt. These findings suggest that optimum rearing temperature and salinity for P. monodon range 27–31 °C and 30–35 ppt, respectively. Changes in temperature and salinity above the optimum range may jeopardize the hatching and subsequent survival of P. monodon especially at their early developmental stages which are more sensitive to environmental changes.

Keywords:    Penaeus monodon, Temperature, Salinity, Incubation time, Hatching success, Survival rate.
Seasonality in Phytoplankton Species Composition and their Influence on Small Pelagic Fish along the Western Pemba Channel
Authors: Kyewalyanga Margareth S
Published: June 2022

The influence of phytoplankton biomass on small pelagic fish groups was studied at three sites along the Western Pemba Channel, to assess the contribution of seasonality. Sampling took place at the three sites in the coastal waters of Tanga, Tanzania. The study used in-situ data from July 2016 to January 2017, remotely-sensed chlorophyll-a data from August 2016 to August 2017 and 2019–2020, and small pelagic fish catch data from the same periods as the remotely-sensed data. The dominant groups at all the three sites were diatoms, dinoflagellates, and cyanobacteria, with diatoms having the highest number of species compared to the other two. In comparison to the southeast monsoon season, phytoplankton species and biomass were significantly higher during the northeast monsoon season. The most plentiful fish were anchovies, which had high peaks in both seasons, followed by sardinella, while mackerel had the lowest catch. Chlorophyll-a and anchovy catches showed a positive correlation; however, the relationship was not significant (r = 0.47, df = 11, p = 0.12). Both variables showed the highest peaks in October, while other fish groups showed very weak and insignificant positive or negative correlations. These findings suggest that factors other than phytoplankton biomass contribute to controlling small pelagic fish availability.

Keywords: Phytoplankton; monsoon seasons; chlorophyll-a; Pemba Channel; small pelagic fish.
Od Saida do filologii i z powrotem

Form Said to Philology and Back Again

The article presents the relationship between Edward W. Said’s thoughts and a specific philological tradition in the context of the reception of postcolonial theory in the area of Polish literary research. The author demonstrates that philology in the sense given by Said can support postcolonial studies as well as constitute an inspiring tradition for contemporary literary studies.

In the first part of the article the author presents how the attitude of the American humanist to philology was changing. In Orientalism, Said criticizes Renan’s scientist practice, but in all his works he highly values this discipline and perceives it as an emancipatory, humanistic activity that transcends the dynamics of knowledge and power. Author of the article shows that the concepts of Giambattista Vico and Erich Auerbach are extremely important for the Palestinian-American critic. The next part of the article presents that Said uses methods characteristic of philology in his works, often in spite of the methodological declarations attributed to him (discourse theory).

Comparative (Transnational) Research on Censorship of Literature in the Former Communist Countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Preliminary Findings and the State of the Art Overview The article reviews the state of research in multilingual literature and proposes the original research concept. In the first part, entitled: “Transnational research”, the Author describes the possibilities which were offered by the adhibition of the new methodological concept in comparative research on communism in European countries of the former Eastern bloc. In the second part, “Research on communist censorship”, the Author summarizes the trend of research on communist censorship, which was dynamically developing since the collapse of the system, with particular emphasis on the issue of censorship of literature. In the last part: “Comparative research on communist censorship” she juxtaposes both trends and draws a new research proposal from them. The Author notes that there is no scientific study yet to discuss censorship in all former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe as 1. a supranational phenomenon and 2. using the same methodological perspective. Therefore, she proposes to conduct such research and sees the transnational approach as particularly useful here, which – releasing the researcher from the national perspective of political histories – creates an opportunity to trace the “flows” of ideas, people, and cultural texts between the Eastern bloc countries.

“Living Voices, Living Fortunes”. Democratization of History in Reportages of Svetlana Alexievich and Malgorzata Rejmer The article analyzes the causative, emancipatory potential of the reportage of testimony, which going beyond its reporting function becomes a new form of liberating the voices of the victims of communist regimes and „remémoration” of the past. Svetlana Alexievich’s Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets and Małgorzata Rejmer’s Mud Sweeter than Honey. Voices from Communist Albania generate a space for reckoning with undemocratic past where it becomes possible: to (re)interpret history and regain the experience of its participants, to face up to historical trauma as well as to bring the identity back to the subdued. The discussed reportages question the objectivity of history, a homogeneous vision of the past, and thus open up to the constant reinterpretation of historical events.
Between “Written” and “Dictated” (an Example of Sienkiewicz’s Archive)
Authors: Kuniczuk Agnieszka
Published: June 2022

Henryk Sienkiewicz is reknown as one of the most important Polish writers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Study of his work can be complement by his extensive correspondence (Letters form Sienkiewicz alone have 14 volumes) or his notes. Particularly noteworthy are the literary work’s rough-drafts. Recently the library of the Ossolinski National Institute bought the latest collection, the Sienkiewicz’s archive from one of the writer’s descendant. In this archive is located a considerable collection of manuscripts, rough-drafts and documents written in Sienkiewicz’s wife handwriting. This collection contains noticeable fragments of drafts with doubtful authorship: written by writer’s wife, however presumably dictated by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Author will prove the meaning of this part of the archive for all research in Sienkiewicz’s heritage. Then, she will try to determine the authorship of one of the rough drafts.

Muzyka jako spotkanie

Music as an Encounter What is music?

One of the possible answers for this question is that music establishes a specific form of communication, which finally occurs to mean an encounter. How has this conclusion been created and how to justify it? It all comes from the interdisciplinary encounter of different perspectives of academic research. Setting in a relation, and so referring to each other, sociological and phenomenological methods result in discovering music (musical language and style, piece of music, musical thought and process) that is an effect and means of social communication. When providing this statement with deeper insight, one comes to the conclusion that every social communication has an encounter as its basis. Whereas so called 'philosophy of encounter', or 'of dialogue', which grows from the phenomenological radices makes it clear that it is an encounter of the two persons: a dialogue between 'I' and 'You'. The groundwork of this musical drama, like of a drama of any other kind of communication, is the reciprocity that establishes a specific relation. Alfred Schütz called it: 'relation of mutual tuning'. It is a tuning of thoughts and wills of participants of the encounter. This supplies the relation with an almost alchemical power of metamorphosis, making it possible to transform 'I' and 'You' into 'We'. And so it makes a harmony. Conclusions from new academic disciplines remain therefore close to the old knowledge – for Boethius already saw music as harmony. What is music? There are as many answers as perspectives. How to reach the truth then? There is a need for a meeting (sic!).

Rivals [Rywale], or the Burgeois Opera in Kraków: History, Cultural Context, Meaning

During the period of stagnation in Kraków’s theatre culture in the 2nd half of the 18th century, an opera entitled Rivals, or the Tattoo in Kraków [Rywale czyli czapstrzyk w Krakowie] was created by Kacper Meciszewski (libretto) and Zagórski (music; not preserved to this day), unknown by first name. Although mentioned several times in the theatre studies literature, it has not been by far a subject of separate musicological research. This opera is an example of a work that can be described as a 'burgeois opera', i.e. a model of magnate operas, regarding to both theme and structure of the libretto, as well as to musical arrangement, transferred to the middle class standards and entrepreneurial capabilities of that time. Seemingly non-original, secondary and, due to its provincial character, relevant only to the 18th century residents of the former capital city, it seems to have a slightly deeper meaning. In order to understand the significance of Rivals in its full, this article will present the history of the comedy’s creation and staging, an analysis of the libretto and a hypothetical form of musical setting in the context and in comparison with analogous operas of that period. For a better understanding of the title tattoo meaning, the history of its creation and reception as well as the condition of Kraków regiment band will be outlined.
Synodalność i prymat jako wyzwanie w ekumenicznym dialogu katolicko-prawosławnym
Authors: Bujak Janusz
Published: June 2022

W ostatnich dziesięcioleciach w dialogach ekumenicznych coraz częściej pojawia się temat relacji pomiędzy prymatem a synodalnością. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim oficjalnego dialogu katolicko-prawosławnego, który od pierwszego dokumentu, przyjętego w Monachium w 1982 roku, aż po ostatnie dokumenty z Rawenny (2007 rok) i Chieti (2016 rok) podejmuje kwestie dotyczące prymatu i synodalności w kontekście eklezjologii eucharystycznej. Ważnym dokumentem dotyczącym tych samych treści jest studium Grupy Roboczej św. Ireneusza opublikowane w 2018 roku. Celem artykułu Synodalność i prymat jako wyzwanie w ekumenicznym dialogu katolicko-prawosławnym jest ukazanie rozwoju myśli synodalnej i prymacjalnej w pracach Międzynarodowej Komisji Mieszanej do Dialogu Teologicznego między Kościołem Rzymskokatolickim a Kościołem Prawosławnym oraz oceny stanu synodalności w Kościołach prawosławnych z punktu widzenia teologii wschodniej, jak również prezentacja dokumentu opracowanego przez Grupę Roboczą św. Ireneusza, który ma ambicję wnieść swój wkład w oficjalny dialog katolicko-prawosławny. Zauważalny impas w dialogu wynika – zdaniem autora artykułu – w dużej mierze z eklezjologii sprowadzającej Kościół do poziomu lokalnego, etnofiletyzmu prawosławnego, rywalizacji o pierwszeństwo w świecie prawosławnym pomiędzy patriarchatami moskiewskim i konstantynopolitańskim oraz negowania, również przez wielu teologów katolickich, prawomocności rozwoju prymatu biskupa Rzymu w pierwszym, a zwłaszcza w drugim tysiącleciu. Synodality and primacy as a challenge in catholicorthodox ecumenical dialogue In recent decades the topic of the relationship between primacy and synodality has increasingly come up in ecumenical dialogues. It especially refers to the official catholic-orthodox dialogue, started from its first document adopted in Munich in 1982 to the recent documents of Ravenna (2007) and Chieti (2016), addresses the issues of primacy and synodality in the context of Eucharistic ecclesiology. The study of the St. Irenaeus’ Working Group published in 2018 is another important document on the same content. The aim of the article Synodality and Primacy as a Challenge in Catholic- Orthodox Ecumenical Dialogue is to show the development of a synodal and primacy thought in the work of the International Mixed Commission for Catholic-Orthodox Dialogue. It both estimates the state of synodality in the Orthodox Churches from the perspective of Eastern theology and presents a document produced by the St. Irenaeus Group who aspires to contribute to an official Catholic-Orthodox dialogue. The noticeable impasse in the dialogue is, largely due to ecclesiology that reduces the Church to the local level, Orthodox ethnophilicism, competition for primacy in the Orthodox world between the Moscow and Constantinopolitan patriarchates and the denial of the legitimacy of the development of the primacy of the Bishop of Rome in the first and especially the second millennium. The denial is shown also by many Catholic theologians.

Süregelen tarih boyunca mekân kavramı kullanıcısı da düşünülerek pek çok farklı açıdan pek çok farklı kitle ve düşünür tarafından ele alınmış ve incelenmiştir. Üzerine düşünceler üretilerek geliştirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Son dönemlerde bütün dünyayı etkisi altına alan, çözülmeyi bekleyen, küresel bir sorun haline dönüşen ‘Covid-19’ koşulları, yaşamları ve mekânları olumsuz etkilemektedir. Kapalı mekânlarda geçirilen zorunlu zaman diliminin hastalığın artışına bağlı olarak paralel ilerlemesi, mekânın kendi kapsamından farklı olarak, yeni bir boyutta irdelenmesinin gerekliliğini kullanıcılarına ve tasarımcılarına tekrar düşündürmüştür. Bu durum mekân kavramı bağlamında ve kapsamında yeni istekler, ihtiyaçlar, gereklilikler doğurmuş ve mekânın yeniden kurgulanması ve kullanımı konusunda tasarımcılar için mekâna farklı bir perspektiften bakma olanağı sunmuştur. Bu nedenle makale özgün olarak mekân kavramını bilinç bağlamında farklı bir açıdan ele alırken, kapsayıcı mekân kavramını da içinde barındırarak konuyu bir örneklem üzerinden değerlendirmiş ve geliştirmiştir. Makalenin yöntemi öncül olarak bilimsel araştırmalara ve çalışmalara çoğunlukla zemin hazırlayan ve araştırmacıların sıklıkla kullandığı araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan literatür taraması ile başlamaktadır. Yapılan literatür taramalarından yola çıkılarak mekân kavramının çok farklı açılardan incelendiği saptanmış, mekânın kendi içerisinde kullanıcı bağlamında farklı gruplara ayrıldığı, özel ve genel mekânlar olarak adlandırıldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Makale kendine genel mekân bağlamında kapsayıcı mekân kavramını konu edinerek, araştırma sürecini analiz, yorum, ‘Covid-19’ önlemli özgün tasarım örneği olan bir otel lobisi tasarımıyla desteklemiştir.
Cloud Based QR Code for Confidential Message

Published: June 2022

The QR code was created to be used for data storage and high-speed reading applications. QR codes are used to connect
important world products that have been tagged with a QR code to the internet. A new QR code with two storage cloud layers is
proposed: a private cloud and a public cloud. The private cloud is imperceptible to typical QR code perusers. It can also be utilized
for archive verification. It comprises data encoded utilizing QR code with a blunder revision limit, which assists with further
developing the first record from a duplicate and the QR code storage limit. The public cloud is, in many cases, perused by many.
While the public level is created by replacing dark modules with clear finished designs, the private level is created by replacing dark
modules with clear finished designs. This confirmation is addressed by being aware of the print-and-scan process's used finish. The
acknowledgement method is commonly used in both private message exchange and confirmation situations. The capacity limit is
frequently worked on by increasing the number of code letters in order Q or increasing the size of a two-level QR code for secret
messages. When the coding alphabet QR is increased or the pattern size is increased, the storage capacity is frequently significantly
increased.
AI AND DATA MINING FOR CYBER SECURITY

An interference identification framework is programming that watches a solitary or a
gathering of PCs for evil activities like information collecting and degrading framework
standards. Most of the techniques in this interference discovery framework are unequipped
for managing the dynamic and complex nature of computerized assaults on PC frameworks.
Notwithstanding the way that versatile procedures, for example, AI frameworks can bring
about higher identification rates, diminished misleading problem rates, and proper calculation
and correspondence costs. Constant model mining, request, arrangement, and a more modest
than-ordinary information stream are for the most part potential results of information
mining. This exploration paper offers an elegantly composed outline of AI and information
digging systems for computerized request interference recognition. No matter what the
amount of references or the congruity of a rising technique, each system was perceived,
assessed, and dense in the papers. Because of the significance of data in AI and handling
techniques, a few huge advanced instructive files utilized in AI and information digging are
introduced for computerized security, alongside certain tips on when to utilize every
approach.

Tradutor/intérprete da libras: um caminho para a acessibilidade
Authors: Sander Ricardo Ernani , Sander Marieuza Endrissi
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo traz reflexões sobre a atuação do profissional tradutor intérprete da língua de sinais - Tils, na sua caracterização e atuação no ambiente escolar. A pesquisa qualitativa com base em quatro sujeitos profissionais Tils de diferentes estados brasileiros, tendo como objetivo de traçar o perfil desses profissionais e  de identificar as dificuldades dos mesmos nas relações com o aluno surdo, com a instituição em que atuam e com os professores. Apesar dos avaços na legislação brasileira em relação à acessibilidade educacional e inclusão social de um modo geral, mas em específico com a ascensão legal e acadêmica da Libras no país, e ainda, com os progressos da regulamentação da profissão dos tradutores intérpretes de língua de sinais, todavia, há muito a avançar. Percebe-se enormes lacunas na formação do profissional Tils, que geralmente atua sozinho diante do aluno surdo e muitas vezes, pouco acolhidos pela instituição, que não o vê como um profissional fundamental à acessibilidade. É imprescindível que haja o reconhecimento do papel intermediador da interpretação pelas instituições de ensino, inclusive, do próprio profissional.
