Authors: Câmara Jéssica Maria Damião de Arruda , Silva Rayla Ingrid Tomaz da
Published: December 2024

O e-commerce representa uma nova forma para as organizações desenvolverem os seus processos. Entretanto, isso também acarretou mudanças no comportamento de compra dos consumidores. Isso gerou a necessidade de as empresas mapearem e segmentarem seus clientes de modo a compreender suas necessidades. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo segmentar os usuários de e-commerce da cidade de Natal/RN de acordo com variáveis demográficas e comportamentais. Para isso, foi utilizada uma metodologia descritiva, aplicada e qualitativa. O estudo se baseou na aplicação de um questionário, para coleta de dados, e na técnica estatística de análise de correspondência simples e múltipla, para definição de associações entre as características dos consumidores. Os resultados indicaram que o celular é a principal forma de busca por produtos, seja em sites ou aplicativos. Contudo, apesar disso e do avanço do comércio virtual, ainda há receio quanto a segurança das transações. Isso é evidenciado pela tendência do uso do desktop quando há um maior volume de gastos. Além disso, o estudo também mostrou que para consumidores até 39 anos a principal forma de busca é em sites de loja, indicando uma fidelização dos clientes. Desta forma, observa-se que a segmentação de clientes pode trazer um direcionamento estratégico para as organizações e pode auxiliar na elaboração de ações estratégias eficientes.

Published: December 2024

Objectives

Preanalytical phase is an elemental part of laboratory diagnostics, but is prone to humane errors. The aim of this study was to evaluate performance in preanalytical phase external quality assessment (EQA) cases. We also suggest preventive actions for risk mitigation.

Methods

We included 12 EQA rounds (Labquality Ltd.) with three patient cases (36 cases, 54–111 participants, 7–15 countries) published in 2018–2023. We graded performance according to percentage of correct responses in each case as ≥900 % excellent, 70–89 % good, 50–69 % satisfactory, 30–49 % fair and <30 % poor. Performance was simultaneously failed with ≥10 % of responses leading to harmful events.

Results

Overall performance was excellent in 7, good in 12, satisfactory in 10, fair in 4 and poor in 3 cases. Additionally, 7 cases showed failed performance. Routine requests with incorrect sample tubes or incorrect sample handling were detected with good performance. Lower performance was seen with sudden abnormal results, with rare requests, with false patient identification (never-events) and with incorrect test requests. Information technology (IT) solutions (preanalytical checklists, autoverification rules and patient specific notifications) could have prevented 33 of 36 preanalytical errors.

Conclusions

While most common errors were detected with good performance, samples with rare requests or those requiring individualised consideration are vulnerable to human misinterpretation. In many instances, samples with preanalytical errors should have been identified and rejected before reaching the laboratory or being directed to analysis. Optimising IT solutions to effectively detect these preanalytical errors allows for focus on infrequent events demanding accessible professional consultation. EQA preanalytical cases may help in education of correct actions in these occasions.
Abyss and Oppression: I Ching Symbolisms in Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle
Authors: Lai John T. P.
Published: December 2024

Being one of the most influential science fiction writers of the 20th century, Philip K. Dick (1928–82) was acclaimed as the “most brilliant Sci-Fi mind on any planet.” Thanks to the influential English translation by Richard Wilhelm (1873–1930) and Cary F. Baynes (1883–1977) published in 1950, the I Ching (or Yijing; Book of Changes), the ancient Chinese philosophical/religious classic and divinatory text, has transcended cultural borders, leaving a lasting impact on Western society against the backdrop of the counterculture hippy movement of the 1960s. With an extraordinary enthusiasm for the I Ching, Dick experimented creative use of the I Ching in the process of writing his best-selling novel The Man in the High Castle (1962), marking its debut in American fiction. Through a critical textual analysis of the novel, this paper attempts to unearth deeper levels of motifs by discovering the underlying symbolisms of the I Ching incorporated in the narrative, with special references to two related Hexagrams Kan (䷜ Abyss) and Kun (䷮ Oppression). Dick took full advantage of the multifaceted dimensions of their symbolisms to develop characterization and fictional plots, particularly foregrounding the core themes of universal anxiety and oppression.

Published: December 2024

Control and monitoring of Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) involve an underlying negative effect of the capture of non-target organisms. This study aimed to analyze and compare the capture of non-target arthropods between control methods and monitoring traps. Seven treatments were established in citrus orchards, with three replicates each in May to August 2022. Four treatments consisted of mass trapping, two using bait sprays, and a control treatment. Three monitoring traps per treatment baited with Cera Trap® and torula yeast borax pellets were used to monitor the capture of non-target organisms. Linear mixed models and contingency tables were used to evaluate the capture level between control treatments and monitoring traps. The total number of non-target specimens was 46,084, 41 families of Insecta and two of Arachnida. Diptera was the most diverse group, with 17 families. Fourteen families represented beneficial organisms in five orders. No effects were noted between control methods on the average capture of non-target arthropods and beneficial organisms. Monitoring traps showed differences in the average capture of non-target arthropods and beneficial organisms. Torula yeast was the attractant with the most insect captures. Mass trapping with Cera Trap® or GF 120® with traps baited with Cera Trap® revealed a decreased capture of beneficial organisms. Further research is needed to assess the impact of A. ludens control methods on non-target species for conservation purposes at the field level.

Published: December 2024

The Peruvian coast is considered the southern limit of the distribution area of the pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. However, sightings of this species were scattered and scarce. This study reports an unexpected increase in sightings of this species in northern Peru from 2021 to 2023. Over this period, a total of 34 groups were recorded, with 85.3 % (n = 29) observed just in 2023. This significant rise in sightings suggests shifts in dolphin distribution related to rising sea surface temperatures associated with a strong El Niño event.

Methodical Support for the Reflexive Management of Company Business Processes Based on the Theory of Reliability of Hierarchically Branched Systems
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Mrykhina Oleksandra , Farat Oleksandra ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: December 2024

The article develops methodological support for the reflexive management of business processes in companies. It is argued that
reflective management of business processes should be considered as a hierarchically branched structure. A model for evaluating
the effectiveness of reflective management, in particular for the business process of developing and preparing technology for
transfer, has been developed. The model was tested on technological enterprises of the Lviv region. The theory of reliability of
hierarchically branched systems is used for its substantiation, which allows: to increase the level of accuracy of the indicator of
technology readiness for transfer; to determine the nature of interaction of elements using recursive expressions; to develop time
and other parameters for assessment of the level of technology readiness within the given system; to substantiate scenarios of
reflexive management of business processes of enterprises.

Authors:   Odesа Polytechnic National University, Kulinska Anzhela
Published: December 2024

With the development of the state and society part of the functions of the state in managing the national economy are transferred
to the regions. This is due to the fact that regions are better able to coordinate state and local interests, as well as private and public
structures. Accordingly, the means of strategic planning of socio-economic development of regions are changing, especially in the
conditions of martial law. This is especially relevant in the current state of functioning of Ukraine, as it is important to find effective
means of stimulating regional policy to improve the quality of socio-economic relations in the region. Social transformations taking
place in Ukraine in recent years have led to an increase in the role and importance of the region in building a strong state.

Cost as an Economic Category
Authors:   National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute", Chernyshenko Olena
Published: December 2024

The article determines that the scientific and theoretical essence of the prime cost as an economic category largely depends on the
scope of use of this term, among which economic theory, accounting, financial management and international financial reporting
standards are allocated. It is proposed to define the prime cost as the total material, financial and intellectual costs of enterprise for
the creation, production and sale of products, expressed in financial (monetary) form, taking into account the socio-institutional
costs. A number of production functions of the cost of production have been identified and they have been combined into blocks
according to the type of tasks to be solved. It is determined that the performance of production functions is a condition for the
normal course of individual reproduction within individual enterprises. The production functions of the prime cost, which for the
most part are manifested in the internal environment of enterprise, and the functions that provide the market tasks of the enterprise,
have been proposed and substantiated.

Published: December 2024

Pacific Seabream, Acanthopagrus pacificus, is a popular marine fish from the Sparidae family. This species is an economically essential fisheries commodity in the south-coast Java, Indonesia. However, limited studies are available on A. pacificus in Indonesia. Only two studies reported the presence of A. pacificus in South-Coast Java. No study has been carried out on the biology of A. pacificus from south-coast Java. Therefore, biological studies of A. pacificus are needed, including genetic diversity studies. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of A. pacificus in South-Coast Java using the cytochrome c oxidase gene. Fish samples were bought from Bantul Fishing Harbor, Yogyakarta, Panganadaran Fishing Port, Bojongsalawe Fish Auction Center, West Java, and Binuangeun Fishing Harbor in Lebak Regency, Banten. The genetic marker was processed in PT. Genetika Science Indonesia follows the company procedure. Haplotype and nucleotide diversity were calculated mathematically using Arlequin software. The result showed that polymorphic loci were only 1.3%, indicating low polymorphisms. A. pacificus showed haplotype and nucleotide diversities of 0.511±0.110 and 0.15%±0.12%, respectively. Those values indicated low genetic diversity. This study concluded that the A. pacificus population in South-Coast Java showed low genetic diversity. This study provides the first data about the genetic diversity of A. pacificus in South-Coast Java, which is essential data for fisheries management.

Published: December 2024

Acanthopsoides molobrion is a freshwater previously known to be spread across Malaysia and Borneo. This study aimed to record for the first time the occurrence of the A. molobrion in Bangka Island, Indonesia, and update the geographic distribution of this species. This new record of freshwater fish provides an important contribution to the comprehension of the biogeography of the species. The purpose sampling approach was employed for this study to collect specimens. The species were then identified morphologically by the application of morphometric and meristic methods, and molecularly through the employ of DNA Barcoding. On 20th January 2023, two A. molobrion specimens were collected from the Bumang Kemuja River, Bangka Island using a fish trap. The new record of A. molobrion found here is the southernmost record for this species, expanding its geographic distribution. In addition, the latest record site is about 500 km south of the nearest locality in Peninsular Malaysia, and about 750 km southwest of the nearest locality in Borneo. The new record of A. molobrion has expanded the species' recorded distribution range, which has added to our understanding of this species. Furthermore, we present an updated record for the A. molobrion DNA sequence based on the COI gene. This sequence is the first DNA Barcode to Indonesia. Subsequently, the DNA sequence was registered into NCBI Genbank with the access code OR144414. This DNA barcode will be used as a standard for identifying A. molobrion and will aid in DNA and biotechnology-based studies in the future.

Published: December 2024

Global energy demand is steadily rising, necessitating the exploration of sustainable alternatives. Microalgae, such as Navicula sp., offer a promising solution. This study investigated the impact of light intensity on the growth, and biochemical composition (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and carotenoids) of Navicula sp. Cultures were grown in f/2 medium under four light intensity treatments: 2100 lux (control), 3500 lux, 4500 lux, and 5500 lux. Cell growth was measured through optical density analysis. Carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and carotenoid assays were performed using phenol-sulfuric acid, Bligh and Dyer, Bradford, and spectrophotometric methods. Maximum growth was observed on the eighth day of cultivation at 4500 lux light intensity. The best specific growth rate was achieved at 5500 lux. The highest biomass, carbohydrate, lipid, and protein productivity were attained at 5500 lux (24.65 mg/mL, 0.374 mg/mL/day, 0.399±0.204 mg/mL/day, and 0.025±0.018 mg/mL/day). Conversely, the highest carotenoid productivity was recorded at 2100 lux, 0.278±0.085 mg/mL/day. By those means, the increase in light intensity was positively correlated with microalgal cell growth, biomass, carbohydrate content, and carbohydrate, lipid, and protein productivity. However, a negative correlation was found with carotenoid pigment productivity. From this research, it is evident that a light intensity of 5500 lux offers a feasible option for the industrial-scale cultivation of Navicula sp. microalgae for biomass, carbohydrate, and protein production, while 2100 lux is more suitable for carotenoid production. This research compares the findings to previous studies, emphasizing the unique way Navicula sp. responds to different light levels.
Computational design of siRNA targeting Homo sapiens HER2 splice variant mRNA: A potential strategy for breast cancer intervention
Authors: Parikesit Arli Aditya , Ansori Arif Nur Muhammad , Kharisma Viol Dhea
Published: December 2024

This research focuses on an innovative approach utilizing in silico methods to design small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the HER2 splice variant mRNA in Homo sapiens. HER2 is known to be overexpressed in certain types of breast cancer, contributing to tumor progression and poor prognosis. By designing siRNA molecules that can specifically bind to and degrade HER2 mRNA, this study aims to reduce HER2 protein levels, thereby hindering the growth and spread of breast cancer cells. The in-silico design process involves identifying optimal siRNA sequences that maximize target specificity and minimize off-target effects, which is crucial for potential therapeutic applications. This approach represents a promising step towards personalized medicine in the treatment of breast cancer, offering a targeted strategy to combat this variant associated with aggressive disease. The methodology comprises the RNA computational tools used for the design, the selection criteria for siRNA candidates, and the potential implications of this research in a clinical setting. The resulting outcomes are 2D and 3D siRNA designs that could potentially silence HER2 mRNA through an in-silico approach. The leads were generated using a de novo modeling approach, with no existing template available in GenBank. Moreover, it is concluded that computational tools can generate sufficiently stable 2D and 3D RNA models that could be advanced for further molecular simulation studies. The benefit of this outcome is that it facilitates better preparation for wet laboratory experiments in siRNA assays, with future implementation in vivo and clinical trial settings.

Kayu tangi (Lagerstroemia sp.) is one of the medicinal plants that is often used traditionally by Balinese people for treating insomnia, diabetes, and dysentery. This study aims to determine the phylogenetic trees and the active compounds in Lagerstroemia tomentosa extract and its antioxidant activities. The methods used in molecular identification are DNA isolation, PCR, and DNA sequencing. The DNA sample was BLASTed to see its homology with the sequences in GenBank. These sequences were then used for phylogenetic tree analysis. The phytochemical analysis was done using the GC-MS method and the antioxidant activity test used the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) after being reacted with the tested extract.  The results of molecular identification showed that the samples used were closely related to Lagerstroemia tomentosa species (MW044208.1). The antioxidant activity test results showed an IC50 of 2.1 ugml-1 which is included in the very strong category. The phytochemical test results showed that the most dominant compounds contained in the plant stem bark were furfural (AUC 8.54%), beta-sitosterol (AUC 6.00%), and gamma-sitosterol (AUC 3.81%). Based on PubChem data, these compounds have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties as well as insecticide and herbicide. In conclusion, kayu tangi is very close to  Lagerstroemia tomentosa and it’s potentially used as a medicine with strong antioxidant activities.

This study examined the academic workload and academic performance of English students undertaking a dual-course programme at the NCE level in North Central Nigeria, with a focus on proposing curriculum redesign strategies. The study was guided by 5 objectives, 5 research questions and 1 null hypothesis. Grounded in Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), the research identified the cognitive challenges posed by the dual-course structure, emphasizing the need to balance intrinsic, extraneous and germane cognitive loads. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 2,800 students across Federal and State Colleges of Education in North Central Nigeria. Findings revealed that students faced significant challenges such as imbalanced workload distribution, time management difficulties and high stress levels. Negative perceptions of the dual-course programmes were prevalent, particularly regarding their manageability and structure. Curriculum redesign strategies, such as balancing workload across courses, reducing overlapping content and introducing flexible schedules, were strongly endorsed by respondents. A correlation analysis between workload and academic performance showed a moderate negative relationship, indicating that increased workload adversely affected students' GPA. This study underscored the necessity of curriculum reforms informed by CLT to optimize academic outcomes and enhance students' overall learning experiences in dual-course programmes.

This study evaluates the impact of a Health Education Programme (HEP) on HIV/AIDS awareness among students with visual impairments in Gindiri. It is prompted by the observed low awareness levels of HIV/AIDS within this demographic. The primary objective were to determine the effectiveness of HEP as an intervention tool for enhancing HIV/AIDS awareness. Guided by three research questions, the study employs a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The population includes all primary five and six pupils from the School for the Blind in Gindiri, with a sample of 10 students (balanced by gender) from these grades. The experimental group participated in the HEP, while the control group was not. Data were collected using a researcher-designed HIV/AIDS Awareness Instrument and analyzed using mean, percentage, and t-test statistical methods. The findings conclusively demonstrate the effectiveness of the health education programme in enhancing HIV/AIDS awareness among students with visual impairments. The baseline similarity between groups and the significant post-intervention gains in the experimental group validate the programme's impact. These results emphasize the importance of targeted and inclusive health education initiatives for addressing public health disparities among vulnerable populations.

“Un sujeto ausente, pero tras bastidores”
Authors: Saporosi Lucas
Published: December 2024

En el presente artículo analizo las operaciones críticas que realizan Judith Butler y Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak sobre ciertos planteos de la teoría de la historia de Hegel en dos trabajos de los años ochenta: Sujetos del Deseo. Reflexiones hegelianas en la Francia del siglo XX (Butler, 2012 [1987]) y “Estudios de la Subalternidad. Deconstruyendo la Historiografía” (Spivak, 2008 [1985]). Para hacerlo, parto de la revisión q ue llevan adelante respecto de las nociones hegelianas de deseo, (auto)conciencia y sujeto para luego comprender la reflexión sobre la cuestión del tiempo histórico y los modos de aparición de los sujetos de la “subalternidad” (Spivak) o de la “alteridad” (Butler). El trabajo propone la hipótesis de que en esta relectura crítica las autoras realizan un corrimiento epistemológico, más que una ruptura completa, respecto a los desarrollos teóricos de Hegel. En consecuencia, pueden revisar, historizar y resituar estas nociones sobre la misma plataforma teórica hegeliana y desestructurar sus fundamentos constitutivos.
La escritura de lo ausente
Authors: Ema Llorente María
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar obras mexicanas publicadas en el siglo XXI que tratan el tema de la desaparición — relativa tanto a hechos históricos como a personas, objetos, ideas o experiencias —, haciendo uso de distintos tipos de tachaduras, veladuras y marcas textuales. Estas obras, que pueden incluirse dentro de la ficción documental (Rivera, 2019), obligan a reflexionar sobre la relación que existe entre lo exterior y lo interior del texto; entre la realidad y la ficción. Partiendo de un acercamiento a estos dos últimos conceptos, se estudiarán los distintos tipos de tachaduras que aparecen en las obras, sus funciones y significados, en el marco de las ideas apuntadas por Chirinos (1998), Rivera-Rodas (2001), Fabre (2005) y Ballester e Higashi (2017). Se propone que estas marcas textuales son una forma de hablar del vacío mediante el vacío, que se incorpora a los textos provocando un contraste entre lo literario y lo no literario — real o histórico —.

Este texto analisa reflexões de Gunther Anders sobre a tecnologia em uma sociedade atualista. Anders destacou a busca por atualização tecnológica e a tendência das pessoas em desejar serem gadgets, o que chamou de lacuna prometeica. Partindo da premissa de que a tecnologia afeta a percepção do medo, banalizando ameaças e dificultando a identificação de perigos reais, as principais hipóteses elencadas abordaram a alienação causada pela (falsa) conformidade tecnológica e a incapacidade de temer o invisível (ou o que é exageradamente mostrado). Em conclusão, argumenta-se sobre a importância da reflexão crítica sobre as implicações morais e existenciais da tecnologia na sociedade atualista, simbolizada pela bomba atômica. Dessa forma, consideramos as reflexões de Gunther Anders sobre a bomba atômica e sua análise crítica da sociedade um diagnóstico fundamental daquilo que Mateus Araújo e Valdei Pereira chamam de atualismo.

THE ROLE AND PROPERTIES OF GRAMMATICALIZATION IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING A CLASS OF PREPOSITIONS (based on the French language)
Authors: Grechukhina Zemfira , Kislyakova Evgeniya
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the concept of the term grammaticalization, its interpretation by domestic and foreign authors. The problem of correlation of grammaticalization and lexicalization in the process of prepositions formation is touched upon. The purpose of the article is to describe the main characteristics and features of the manifestation of grammaticalization in the formation of French prepositions. During the analysis, methods for describing prepositional units, component analysis (decomposition of the meaning and form of prepositional units into their constituent semantic and grammatical elements); distributional analysis (identification of linear connections of prepositional units, their compatibility) were used. The authors come to the conclusion about the convergent nature of some mechanisms of grammaticalization, the integral properties of which are unidirectionality, gradualism and partiality of the process for a certain form of a preposition in a specific period of language development, therefore only a diachronic approach gives an idea of prepositions as an open class, replenished at each stage of the history of a language new forms in the process of grammaticalization.

Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the concept «profane». The study is carried out within the framework of theolinguistics. The object of our study is the concept «profane». The subject is the representations of the concept «profane» in linguistics, religious sociology and philosophy. The study is based on the data from etymological dictionaries. The purpose of the paper is to perform a comparative analysis of the linguistic and socio-philosophical representation of the phenomenon «profane». In the paper, various approaches to its interpretation are considered in detail and the forms of its representation are described. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the concept «profane» in linguistics. The analysis of dictionary entries with the key word «profanus» made it possible to reveal some essential features, in particular, the multiple meanings and paradoxicality of the concept «profane». The semes, forming the scope of this concept, on the one hand (explicitly) indicate the unrelatedness to the sacred; on the other hand (implicitly) demonstrate its signs.

This paper makes an attempt to provide a thorough insight into the essence of causative-consecutive interaction and prove that it is the base of scientific knowledge. Everything in the world has its cause and effect. They are essential components of medical knowledge which are reflected in medical terms. The aim of the article is to investigate the way medical terms represent the gnoseological category of cause and effect, to reveal its explicit and implicit characteristics. The methods of definitional, derivational, semantic, categorical, conceptual, and compositional analysis are used in the investigation. The paper assumes the terms representing the category of cause and effect prevail in medical terminology. This prevalence is due to extralinguistic factors such as aetiology and the consequences of a disease. The authors introduce the notion “causal term relevance” and develop a number of rules of relevance. These rules and the study of extralinguistic factors and implicit logical links between word(term)-building elements revealed 11 prototype causative-consecutive characteristics. Each group represent one type of causative-consecutive relations. Definite category features, demonstrating cause and effect categories, combine terms in every group. Conclusion. The category of cause and effect is one of the most important medical concepts because it deals with the theory of pathology and is able to represent both the aetiology of the diseases and the conditions of the development of the disease by language means. The choice of language means by the author of the term influence the evolution of the scientific concept.

The issue of designing a glossary of medical lexis is considered. The stages of its development are identified and described. At the first stage, the choice of sphere and target audience is justified. At the second stage, typological parameters are determined, according to which the glossary is terminological, bilingual, explanatory, thesaurus and encyclopedic, network one. At the third stage, a corpus of terms, as well as their dictionary and contextual definitions, selected from dictionaries of medical terms and popular-science medical text in the amount of 282 units, was formed. At the fourth stage, the analysis of dictionary and contextual definitions is carried out using component analysis. At the fifth stage, the glossary is designed in spreadsheet with hyperlinks. The designed glossary contains the following structural components: term, dictionary definition, context, context translation, contextual definition, term translation. The identified parameters of the glossary, the stages of its development, and the methodology for studying of lexis can be supplemented.
COMPARISON OF FORMS OF KNOWLEDGE IN A SCIENTIFIC TEXT
Authors: Dudina Mariia
Published: December 2024

Special knowledge coded with the help of scientific language is difficult for understanding by a non-specialist. The understanding of a new scientific idea is reached by explaining it by means of scientific knowledge representation forms in the text. The comparison is made between such forms of scientific knowledge representation as an explicative, a definition and an explanation as they are related to expanding the meaning of new notions. The results of analysing the role that an explicative plays in the text as a form of knowledge representation are described in the article. Research methods of the form are characterized. Identification, comparison and explanation of the difference between functioning of explicatives, definitions and explanations are relevant due to the development of scientific knowledge in the course of increase in scientific and technological inventions that have to be described.
Indigenous Advocacy: A Historical Overview of Environmental Movements in India
Authors: Karem Sasidhar
Published: December 2024

In the rich tapestry of India’s environmental movements, the threads of indigenous advocacy are woven intricately, embodying centuries-old connections between land, culture, and sustainability. As we embark on this exploration of environmental activism in India, it is imperative to acknowledge the profound role that indigenous communities have played in shaping the country’s conservation narrative. From the verdant forests of the Western Ghats to the arid landscapes of Rajasthan, indigenous peoples have been stewards of the land, safeguarding its biodiversity and ecological balance for generations. Their intimate relationship with nature, rooted in traditional knowledge and spiritual reverence, forms the bedrock of environmental activism in India. This comprehensive paper provides a detailed exploration of the historical evolution, ideological foundations, and transformative impacts of environmental movements in India. By scrutinizing seminal movements such as the Chipko Movement, Narmada Bachao Andolan, and the Appikko Movement, it elucidates diverse strategies, mobilization tactics, and overarching objectives. From Gandhian principles of non-violence to Marxist critiques of capitalist exploitation, the paper navigates through ideological underpinnings, revealing the rich tapestry that has shaped India’s environmental activism landscape. Furthermore, it dissects tangible outcomes and legislative achievements, including landmark environmental laws and the establishment of protected areas. Amidst successes, the paper critically examines contemporary challenges faced by environmental movements, such as conflicts between conservation and development, indigenous marginalization, corporate influence, climate change, and misinformation. Through nuanced analysis, it offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of environmental activism in India, underscoring its pivotal role in sustainable development.

Authors: Yılmaz Aykut , Demircan Orcan , Tutuş Ramazan
Published: December 2024

Aim of study: This study aims to determine the variations within Q. coccifera and the effects of geographical differences on the variations among populations.
Area of study: Samples in this study containing Q. coccifera populations of Mediterranean countries were obtained from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database.
Material and method: In this study, all populations belonging to Q. coccifera and Q. calliprinos based on rbcL gene and matK gene-partial trnK gene intron sequences, were collected from NCBI database. It is aimed to determine more informative results about the phylogenetic relations of populations and to evaluate the barcoding regions in terms of their abilities to reveal the relationships and variations of populations. For this purpose, Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA 11) was performed.
Main results: For both barcoding regions, the presence of the samples with higher variations in the Eastern Mediterranean region was clearly observed. Moreover, remarkable variations were recognized among Q. coccifera populations.
Research highlights: The samples from region called Levant quite possibly strengthen the presence of two different species as Q. coccifera and Q. calliprinos or two intraspecific taxa such as Q. coccifera subsp coccifera and Q. coccifera subsp calliprinos. However, this needs to be supported by studies including Q. calliprinos and Q. coccifera samples from East Mediterranean region of Türkiye to Egypt.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: Non-Specific Chronic Neck (NS-CNP) is a multifactorial condition with excessive activity of accessory muscles of respiration in the neck. Studies have portrayed significant relationships between chronic neck pain and respiratory parameters. The study intends to find the impact of respiratory training on lung function and cervical ROM in NS CNP. Methods : The study recruited 64 subjects with pain who were advised to undergo conventional electrotherapy for a week. Pre-intervention measurements were taken, and subjects were divided into 2 groups. Group A received respiratory training and conventional therapy, while Group B received conventional therapy. Post-test measurements were recorded and statistically analyzed. Findings: The post-values of all the outcome measures were significant with an obtained p-value of 0.00, which is <0.05 in both Group A and Group B. Comparing all the outcome measures between the groups showed a significant difference in Cervical flexion along with FVC, SVC, and MVV with the obtained p values of <0.05 which is below the threshold chosen for the statistical analysis. Novelty: The novelty of this study is to implement respiratory training along with conventional neck exercises in the management of NS-CNP. Conclusion: This study concludes that respiratory training and conventional neck exercises significantly improved neck mobility and pulmonary function.
