Impact of Using Automatic Smart Control Technology Using UV Rays on Hydroponic Chili Plants
Authors: Satria Habib , Aldhi Muhammad , Susilawati Susilawati , Irwandi Putra , Ridha Arrazy Elba
Published: March 2023

The rapid development of time has reduced the land used by farmers for farming due to development. For that, design a hydroponic system to minimize the land. Chili hydroponic plants are a type of vegetable that has many benefits and is liked by many people. So that hydroponic chili cultivators can produce optimal harvests, a tool is designed using automatic smart control technology using UV lamps. The findings in the field are that there are several steps that must be taken so that hydroponic plants can be more optimal in the results of chili cultivation. The first step is to design a smart plant control automatic tool, then use several sensors including EC sensors, ph sensors, RTC sensors, and ultraviolet lamps. An initial study of the potential benefits to be gained by partners or chili farmers based on the results of field testing is that this technology can maximize harvest time efficiency from manual hydroponic cultivation, which was originally 90 days to 70-80 days. Therefore, the automatic smart plant control system using UV lamps has a harvest speed of 70-80 days, while the manual method can reach 90 days. Thus, it is hoped that the economy of chili cultivators will increase if the smart plant control automatic system is used.
Stress, stressors, stress responses and coping strategies among student nurses in Anambra State, South-East Nigeria
Authors: Afonne Anulika Johnson , Agbakoba Nneka Regina , Nwankwo Clementina Ukamaka
Published: March 2023

The study was a cross-sectional survey, aimed at assessing the level of perceived stress, common sources of perceived stress, physio-psycho-social responses and coping strategies to stress among student nurses undergoing training in Anambra State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique method was adopted for the study in which 183 student nurses from 4 different institutions were surveyed. Perceived stress scale (PSS) was used to determine the respondent’s level of stress and sources of stress. Physio-psycho-social response scale (PPSRS) was used to ascertain the respondent’s physio-psycho-social well-being, while coping behaviour inventory (CBI) was used to assess the respondents coping strategies. Results showed that 77.66 % of the participants had moderate level of perceived stress (mean score range 1.34-2.66), while 8.83 % had high level of stress (mean score range 2.67-4.00) and 13.51 % low stress level (mean score range 0-1.33). The major source of stress for most of the students was from assignments and workload. The overall mean PPSRS indicated a best health status for most of the institutions. The scores for all the institutions fell within the moderate use of the coping strategies, and the most common coping strategy adopted by the students was problem-solving behaviour. It is recommended that institutions and nurse educators should adopt measures to reduce stress on the students, by giving out assignments at the commencement of a course to give ample time for students to accomplish the academic tasks.
Emotional intelligence and resilience in secondary school Physical Education students during the COVID-19 pandemic

Authors: Torres-Gázquez Silvia del Carmen , López-García Ginés David , Granero-Gallegos Antonio
Published: March 2023

Emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience play an important role in the lives of adolescents, and this has been especially so during the coronavirus pandemic, which has affected the mental health of young people. The study objectives were: (i) to analyse the correlations between the EI variables and resilience; (ii) to analyse the differences between the resilience variable and the EI variables according to the sex variable; and (iii) to analyse the predictive relationship between the EI variables and the resilience variable according to sex. A cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive design study was carried out with a convenience sample consisting of 150 students (78 girls; 72 boys) between the ages of 12 and 18 years (M=14.83; SD=1.72). The scales administered were: The Emotional Quotient Inventory and the Resilience Scale. The descriptive statistics were calculated - Student's T test was used to check for differences based on the sex variable, and linear regression analysis was performed to check the prediction ratio of the EI subscales on resilience. The results demonstrated positive and significant relationships between the EI variables and resilience, with EI and resilience being higher in boys than in girls - this differs from previous data, perhaps influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The results also reflect that EI positively predicts resilience to a greater extent in boys than in girls.

Still to be Named
Authors: Radebe NZ , Cakata Z
Published: March 2023

In this book, the authors discuss some of Simphiwe Dana’s songs from the decolonial perspective which has gained traction in academic circles, especially after the fallist movement. Still to be named: An exploration of African epistemologies using Simphiwe Dana’s selected works is a call for Africans to go back to their roots by denouncing Western ways of life and begin to embrace African epistemologies and ontologies that were destroyed by colonisation and Western imperialism. The authors advocate for the restoration of land and wealth of Africans after being dispossessed of these resources by ruthless colonialists who will at times forcefully move people from fertile land and dispossess them their livestock in the process. This has forced Africans to abandon indigenous ways of living by producing their own food to become migrant labourers which has led to the disintegration of African families as they were forced to support the capitalist economy. The book unveils that songs are a way of invoking healing to the soul and challenges readers to rebuild themselves from the damage caused by colonialism. The authors reveal that Simphiwe Dana’s music and literary art are underpinned by Black Consciousness as espoused by Biko and decolonialism as coined by Ngugi Wa Thion’go among others. The authors lament that racism and colonialism are still rife despite democratic governments in Africa which still perpetuate structural systems of colonialism and fail to effectively redress the injustices of the past. The book contributes to constructive discussions on decoloniality and it is hoped that it will make meaningful impact in changing the current status quo.
A Study on Natural Law in International Law: Focusing on the Historical Development and Modern Significance of Natural Law Theory
Authors:   Korea International Law Review, Oh Si Jin
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to review the natural law theory in international law in order to examine some of the limitations of today’s international legal system, that is, the legal system based on voluntaristic legal positivism, and to consider the modern implications of natural law theory. Today, it is difficult to find international law scholars who take natural law as their legal theory. Even if there are natural law theorists, they may simply be referring to or emphasizing morality/justice rather than taking an approach based on “true law” or metaphysics like the classical natural law theorists. Therefore, there may be more cases of doubts on the necessity of studying natural law. Nevertheless, there is significance in studying natural law. This is because it is difficult to say that there are no remnants of natural law in the international legal system today. Historical study of natural law has been taken in order to comprehend how it has changed its nature throughout the history of international law. Furthermore, the inter-related thesis of (classical) natural law has been identified. Even though it is difficult to find the adherents of natural law today, the traces of natural law could be identified. Traces such as pacta sunt servanda, opinio juris, general principles of law, obligation of reparation, jus cogens, right of self-defence, equity, and human rights are discussed. Apparently, depending on your point of view, these issues may not be traces of natural law theory. However, in this study, it will be stated that there is a part to increase the understanding of the international legal system through the study of natural law theory. The fact that natural law was influential until the 19th century means that this jurisprudence could not have evaporated in an instant. It does not simply mean that there was a transitional period. There may be remnants of natural law in today’s international legal system, and they may still be affecting it. Therefore, an understanding of natural law may be necessary to deeply examine the limitations of today’s international legal system.
La création d’affiliation en éducation physique
Authors: Margas Nicolas , Buchs Céline , Cazin Claire
Published: March 2023

L’affiliation entre élèves est prépondérante dans de nombreuses problématiques scolaires comme la motivation, le climat scolaire, les discriminations, le harcèlement et l’inclusion scolaire et sociale. En nous appuyant sur les déterminants psychosociaux de l’affiliation interpersonnelle et intergroupe, nous identifions les principes pédagogiques et didactiques qui, en éducation physique (EP), soutiennent l’affiliation. Nous illustrons ces principes au travers d’une séance inclusive basée sur la gymnastique artistique. Cette séance a été construite spécifiquement pour apaiser des relations difficiles entre les élèves de classes venant faire leur dernière année de primaire dans une nouvelle école suite à une restructuration scolaire (arrivants) et les élèves des classes habituelles de cet établissement (accueillants). Les changements d’attitudes et de comportement entre élèves documentent scientifiquement l’efficacité des principes identifiés. Ancrés sur des éléments communs aux activités physiques et sportives, ces principes sont didactiquement transposables à d’autres activités et à d’autres problématiques relationnelles.
Pourquoi l’interdisciplinarité à l’école ?
Authors: Tonnetti Benoît , Lentillon-Kaestner Vanessa
Published: March 2023

La collaboration entre enseignants et le transfert de connaissances entre les disciplines sont de plus en plus préconisés au sein de l’école. L’un des moyens d’y arriver est l’interdisciplinarité. Mais de quoi parle-t-on en évoquant l’interdisciplinarité ? Quels sont les apports d’une telle pratique ? Dans cet article, nous essayons d’éclairer le lecteur en proposant une définition de l’interdisciplinarité scolaire et en proposant une liste non exhaustive des avantages qu’elle représente pour les élèves et pour les enseignants, que ce soit au niveau des apprentissages, de la relation ou de la collaboration.Enfin nous nous intéresserons aux différents freins qui empêchent la mise en place de ce genre de méthode et dans une certaine mesure à la façon de les surmonter. Bien que cette approche puisse être utilisée dans toutes les disciplines, nous tisserons, dans ce texte, des liens entre l’éducation physique (EP) et les autres branches d’enseignement notamment avec un exemple concret de projet interdisciplinaire.

Authors: Deriaz Daniel
Published: March 2023

En éducation physique, les différences entre élèves sont importantes et prégnantes. Pour autant, il ne s’agit pas de les gommer, mais bien de construire les compétences recherchées en « faisant avec ». C’est pourquoi, dans cet article, nous proposons une forme de pratique scolaire (FPS) en course de demi-fond qui permette aux élèves de se mettre en projet, quelles que soient leurs ressources.
Enseigner l’éducation physique et sportive avec le modèle pédagogique « Sport Education » pour valoriser la diversité des élèves
Authors: Roure Cédric
Published: March 2023

L’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) dans les pays développés reste encore fortement enseignée à partir d’un curriculum multi-activités centré sur l’apprentissage par répétition d’habiletés techniques isolées. Cette forme d’enseignement tend à concevoir la diversité des élèves comme un obstacle plutôt qu’une richesse. Cet article a pour objectif de présenter le modèle pédagogique du « Sport Education » comme une alternative intéressante permettant de valoriser la diversité des élèves dans les leçons d’EPS. Après avoir présenté les éléments constitutifs de ce modèle pédagogique, un exemple dans l’enseignement des sports collectifs est proposé. Au travers de cet exemple, une attention particulière est portée sur la valorisation de la diversité des élèves.
Ouvrir la porte à l’inclusion en EPS
Authors: Schweiwzer Tess , Margas Nicolas
Published: March 2023

Faisant écho aux recommandations internationales, la demande d’éducation inclusive apparait maintenant dans les directives suisses à l’instar du projet 360 degrés du Canton de Vaud. Elle suscite cependant appréhensions et interrogations de la part des professionnels concernés. En effet, la transition de la logique intégrative vers la visée inclusive suppose non seulement des changements structurels, mais aussi des modifications profondes de l’enseignement pour permettre la gestion pédagogique de la diversité de la classe inclusive et la construction d’attitudes prosociales entre élèves divers, facteurs d’émergence d’une société moins discriminatoire. Notre article essaie d’identifier ces modifications liées à la volonté de faire ce pas vers l’inclusion. Au regard de celles-ci et des spécificités de l’EPS sur cette question, le pas vers l’inclusion permettrait aussi de resituer notre discipline au cœur du système éducatif et d’offrir des pistes de réponses face à d’autres problématiques éducatives vives par exemple le harcèlement scolaire.

Enseignement à distance et autodétermination
Authors: Cece Valérian
Published: March 2023

Face à des élèves à mettre en mouvement, la question de la motivation quitte rarement les esprits des enseignants. Les freins et les leviers à une motivation de qualité intéressent aussi bien les chercheurs que les professionnels de terrain. La théorie de l’autodétermination est une théorie motivationnelle qui propose de conceptualiser les déterminants de ce concept. Confrontés à la distance physique, l’enseignement de l’éducation physique, basé sur la proximité et le contact physique, demande une adaptation particulière aussi bien en termes de transmission des savoirs que de développement de la motivation. Cet article visait à offrir le point de vue de la psychologie sur cette problématique dans le cadre d’un enseignement à distance. Les antécédents théoriques à une motivation de qualité ont ainsi été confrontés à des suggestions pratiques pour les professionnels en considérant à la fois les opportunités et les menaces liées à cette modalité d’enseignement en éducation physique.

L'éducation physique à distance pour des élèves de 4 à 6 ans
Authors: Chablaix Pauline , Weber Serge
Published: March 2023

Témoignage de l’expérience d’une enseignante, en formation, ayant l’habitude de travailler avec le moins de fiches possibles pour favoriser le concret et le mouvement au quotidien de ses élèves de 4 à 6 ans. Face à la crise du coronavirus et du confinement imposé par le département, elle a dû avec sa collègue, mettre en place un système d’école à distance qui respectait le mouvement au quotidien. Comment maintenir ce fondement pédagogique lorsque c’est aux parents d’en assurer le suivi ? Quels effets sur les apprentissages en cours sur le thème de l’équilibre lors du retour des élèves à l’école ? Une complicité entre l’école et la famille a pu être trouvé, permettant l’autonomie des enfants et le maintien, voire l’amélioration des acquis moteurs pendant cette crise.
La vidéo 360° pour la formation professionnelle des enseignants
Authors: Roche Lionel , Rolland Cathy
Published: March 2023

Le confinement généralisé lié à la pandémie de Covid-19 a conduit nombre de formateurs à transformer radicalement leurs pratiques de formation. Nous présentons ici l’usage d’un nouveau type de vidéo pour assurer l’accompagnement de la formation professionnelle des étudiants : la vidéo 360°. Dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche financé, la plateforme Form@tion360 (Roche, 2020a) a été développée en France pour la formation des futurs enseignants d’Éducation Physique (EP). Différents usages de ce type de vidéo sont présentés (en présentiel et en ligne) ainsi que les effets formatifs suscités. Une tentative pilote de recours à ces outils suggère leur pertinence pour accompagner le développement professionnel des futurs enseignants, voire pallier un manque d’expérimentation en stage en période de confinement.
Réguler à distance à l’aide des MITIC
Authors: Lenzen Benoît
Published: March 2023

En éducation physique, la régulation des apprentissages des élèves peut s’avérer compliquée lorsque l’enseignement se déroule à distance, en contexte de pandémie mais aussi dans le cadre des devoirs actifs (active homework). Les MITIC permettent dans une certaine mesure de pallier ces difficultés. Toutefois, ces technologies ne les implémentant pas, les interactions sociales entre l’enseignant et les élèves, entre pairs et/ou avec les membres de la famille ne peuvent résulter que de la scénarisation didactique. Dans cette contribution, nous illustrons cette scénarisation à travers des ressources produites par l’équipe de Didactique et épistémologie de l’éducation physique à Genève pour l’enseignement à distance du yoga au cycle 2 (8-12 ans) et du CrossFit au cycle 3 (12-15 ans).
La coopération comme moyen pour les apprentissages moteurs en EPS
Authors: Van de Kerkhove Anthony , Perez-Cano Claude Emmanuel
Published: March 2023

Si le développement des compétences psycho-sociales à l’école est important et si l’EPS peut jouer un rôle fondamental à ce niveau, il est parfois reproché à certains enseignants d’oublier ce qui fonde notre discipline d’enseignement : le développement de compétences motrices et la transmission d’une culture physique, sportive et artistique. L’enjeu de cet article est de montrer qu’il ne s’agit pas d’opposer ces deux visées puisqu’en apprenant à coopérer, les élèves optimisent grandement leurs apprentissages disciplinaires. Après une rapide exploration des sous-bassement théoriques expliquant ce renforcement des acquisitions, deux illustrations pédagogiques sont proposées : l’une au collège, basée sur du handball avec un travail de verbalisation et de co-validation de compétences entre joueurs et observateurs, l’autre en lycée présentant les résultats d’une expérimentation en badminton visant à mesurer l’impact du coaching sur le temps de pratique motrice ainsi que l’effet des fiches de coaching sur les apprentissages des élèves.

Le rôle singulier de l’engagement corporel dans la construction des compétences psychosociales des élèves
Authors: Schweizer Tess , Margas Nicolas
Published: March 2023

Les compétences psychosociales supposent la construction des attitudes et des valeurs qui les sous-tendent. Collaborer requiert ainsi des attitudes prosociales et des valeurs de bienveillance, avoir une démarche réflexive, une attitude critique et des valeurs d’affirmation de soi. Pour cela, l’enseignant cherche à convaincre ses élèves de l’utilité de certaines attitudes et valeurs par « le dire » (i.e., expliquer) ou par « le faire » (i.e., proposer des pratiques faisant émerger cette utilité). Nous pointons ici une troisième voie pour construire ces attitudes et valeurs qui sous-tendent les compétences psychosociales. En effet, les contextes émotionnels intenses associés à l’engagement corporel en éducation physique (EP) sont, à certaines conditions, des vecteurs d’adhésion aux normes de classe et d’émergence des attitudes et des valeurs nécessaires aux compétences psychosociales. Sous cet angle nouveau, l’EP peut devenir un levier puissant et singulier du système scolaire pour construire ces compétences et plus largement éduquer.
La « validation réciproque » entre arbitres et combattants en lutte scolaire
Authors: Baron Romain , Perez-Cano Claude Emmanuel
Published: March 2023

A travers cet article, nous présentons une démarche de terrain tout en discutant des effets produits chez les élèves à travers l’activité lutte scolaire. Celle-ci s’inscrit dans le parcours de formation de nos élèves en mettant en œuvre la notion de « validation réciproque » entre deux combattants et deux arbitres à l’issue des combats afin de développer des capacités psycho-sociales de communication et de développement de l’esprit critique entre les élèves. L’enjeu est de montrer l’activité de ciblage et de prospection de l’enseignant pour favoriser les discussions entre élèves en utilisant, en repérant et en s’appropriant des indicateurs en situation. Nous caractérisons la manipulation récurrente de ces repères comme un « effet de résonance » permettant aux élèves de progresser sur leur activité de repérage autant dans leur activité de combattant que dans celle d’arbitre. Celle-ci nécessitera d’activer des gestes professionnels de planification comme d’accompagnement que nous tenterons de mettre en évidence.

Rwanda reported its first Covid-19 imported case on 14 March 2020. Psychologists intend to ensure social reintegration of Covid-19 Survivors but little is known on the magnitude of anxiety disorder and effect caused by fearing that outbreak from their families. The present study aimed to determine the level social stigma and anxiety disorder among Covid-19 survivors in Kigali City and cross sectional study design was conducted. A total of 425 Covid-19 survivors participated in the study. Data was corrected by Community Health Workers (CHWs) using structure interviewed questionnaire. Data has been analyzed using SPSS version 21. The study findings show that 50.6% of the respondents were male, 56% of respondents were married, 33.9% had secondary level of education, 67.5% were living with a range of 3 to 5 household members and the mean age of respondents was 37.5 years. Generally, results revealed that 50.1% of respondents presented high level of social stigma and 48.5% shown high level of anxiety disorders. It concluded that discontinued job had greater association with stigma and anxiety disorders and this means that they faced economic related challenges while they were sick and supposed to be confined to their houses. To address this health pattern, researcher recommends the Rwandan government and other partners find solution to people who lost their job due to Covid-19 and continue to provide financial support to the most vulnerable people. Community awareness about mental health problem for early detection and full management within health institutions need an improvement.
Midwives and Nurses Play Important Roles in Every Pregnancy
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Croatia, S Franjić
Published: March 2023

Due to various changes, each pregnancy needs to be monitored continuously for the purpose of normal fetal development, maternal health and timely intervention in case of complications. The role of the nurse is important because when monitoring the pregnancy, the nurse cooperates with a doctorspecialist in gynecology and monitors the physical and mental condition of the pregnant woman. Quality communication between the nurse and the pregnant woman is very important in order to recognize possible complications. Midwives play a similar role because they also participate in the continuous monitoring of the course of pregnancy. Midwives provide predictable and adaptive care and give women the information and advice they need. The art of midwifery consists of sensitivity to the needs of women and families therefore the midwife must be able to meet those needs in the most appropriate way.

Published: March 2023

The day hospital lasts longer than 6 and shorter than 24 hours without overnight stays. The nursing documentation is based on the Nursing List with already prescribed patient assessment tools. The documentation enables the standardized method of monitoring the patient’s condition in case of necessary hospitalization and provides the possibility of measurement and comparison. The nursing history is filled in by all nurses. Anamnestic data are collected primarily from the patient, from the escort, the person caring for the patient, medical and other staff, and from medical records. Data are also collected on the basis of a physical examination, data that cannot be obtained at the time of taking the anamnesis, and are necessary for the continuation of health care and discharge of the patient, should be entered later.

Authors:   Vipava Unit of Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Primorska, Slovenia, M Peršolja
Published: March 2023

Introduction: To describe and compare characteristics of working hours and work schedules among nurses in 2019 and 2021. Evidence about the association regarding the relationship between nurses’ working hours and schedules with the COVID-19 pandemic is limited. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted at a medical unit of a secondary care regional hospital in Slovenia. Of 71 employees who were eligible, 24 fulfilled the criteria and their data were included in the study. Results and Discussion: There were substantial differences in working hour and schedule characteristics between 2019 and 2021. Compared to 2019, nurses in 2021 worked more hours, more long shifts, had fewer free weekends and education days, and almost double the number of sick days. Conclusion: While the nurse manager managed some of the working hour and schedule characteristics appropriately, additional awareness raising, and implementation of a related computer program, are suggested to optimize and develop work schedules.

Cooled dialysate incites peripheral vasoconstriction and thus counter Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH). Currently, up to 70 percent of IDH patients rely on cooled dialysate to ameliorate symptoms ranging from anxiety, restlessness, dizziness, muscle cramps, vomiting, nausea and abdominal discomfort. Presently, there is a plethora of research highlighting the effectiveness of cooled dialysate in ameliorating IDH. However, many of these studies have inherent weakness and thus may not be used to underline that cooled dialysate is indeed worthwhile. For example, the studies only relied on small samples. Further, the studies were conducted over fairly short periods of time. Consequently, to conclusively underpin the efficacy of cooled dialysate, it is necessary to undertake more in-depth research. The following document discusses the critical aspects of cooled dialysate.
Dielectric relaxation and dielectric decrement in ionic acetamide deep eutectic solvents: Spectral decomposition and comparison with experiments
Authors: Maji Dhrubajyoti , Biswas RANJIT
Published: March 2023

Frequency dependent dielectric relaxation in the three deep eutectic solvents (DESs), (acetamide+LiClO4/NO3/Br), was investigated in the temperature range, 329T/K358, via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Subsequently, decomposition of the real and the imaginary components of the simulated dielectric spectra was carried out to separate the rotational (dipole-dipole), translational (ion-ion) and ro-translational (dipole-ion) contributions. The dipolar contribution, as expected, was found to dominate all the frequency dependent dielectric spectra over the entire frequency regime, while the other two components together made tiny contributions only. The translational (ion-ion) and the cross ro-translational contributions appeared in the THz regime in contrast to the viscosity dependent dipolar relaxations that dominated the MHz-GHz frequency window. Our simulations predicted, in agreement with experiments, anion dependent decrement of the static dielectric constant (_s ~ 20 - 30) for acetamide (_s ~66) in these ionic DESs. Simulated dipole-correlations (Kirkwood g factor) indicated significant orientational frustrations. The frustrated orientational structure was found to be associated with the anion dependent damage of the acetamide H-bond network. Single dipole reorientation time distributions suggested slowed down acetamide rotations but did not indicate presence of any rotationally frozen molecules. The dielectric decrement is, therefore, largely static in origin. This provides a new insight into the ion dependence of the dielectric behaviour of these ionic DESs. A good agreement between the simulated and the experimental timescales was also noticed.

Published: March 2023

Understanding diffusion in microstructures plays a crucial role in many scientific fields, including neuroscience, cancer- or energy research. While magnetic resonance methods are the gold standard for quantitative diffusion measurements, they lack sensitivity in resolving and measuring diffusion within individual microstructures. Here, we introduce nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center based nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a novel tool to probe diffusion in individual structures on microscopic length scales. We have developed a novel experimental scheme combining pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) with optically detected NV-NMR, which allows for the quantification of molecular diffusion and flow within nano-to-picoliter sample volumes. We demonstrate correlated optical imaging with spatially resolved PGSE NV-NMR experiments to probe anisotropic water diffusion within a model microstructure. Our method will extend the current capabilities of investigating diffusion processes to the microscopic length scale with the potential of probing single-cells, tissue microstructures, or ion mobility in thin film materials for battery applications.
Social Purpose of Criminal Law
Authors:   Ulyanovsk State University, Ulyanovsk, 432007 Russia, Medvedev E.V.
Published: March 2023

This article discusses the results of an analysis of the social purpose of criminal law, which is perceived as a separate branch of law. The most common doctrinal views on the social origins of criminal law as a social regulator were considered. Based on the results obtained, a new vision of the problem was proposed and the concepts under study were redefined. The protection of social values by criminal law was emphasized as the background for strong public relations. The mechanism of infringing the values and their bearers (physical and legal entities, the entire society and state), as well as the social ties in various spheres of human activities arising from these values, were covered. From this perspective, the causes of many controversies in the theory of the general part of criminal law can be explained. Additionally, the existing disputes over some of its problematic issues can be settled, such as those in the theory of the object of crime in order to reconcile the upholders of the view that any object of crime concerns social relations with the supporters of the concept of interest (good) and alternative points of view. The above-specified approach to unfolding the social purpose of criminal law enables further comprehensive studying of its functional potential because it demonstrates more clearly that the origins and functions of law make it a social regulator with regard to changes that it should and can induce in the objective reality.
On the Nature of Intermediary Relations in Insurance
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, 420008 Russia, Ivanishin P.Z.
Published: March 2023

This article considers the problems associated with the activity of insurance intermediaries, the legal capacity of insurance agents and brokers with regard to meeting licensing requirements, the relation between the agency contract and the guarantee contract for the purposes of insurance, as well as the place and role of the insurance broker in the legal relations under study. It also provides a classification of the intermediary relations in insurance and defines its criteria. Based on the results obtained, the conclusion is made that the insurance agent acting for and on behalf of the insurer can perform the following physical actions in addition to the legally significant ones, i.e., concluding insurance contracts: searching for and bringing in new clients, negotiating, arranging and justifying the calculation of an insurance premium, and involving clients in partner-intermediary relations of the insurer. The analysis of the legal nature of the insurance broker as against the insurance agent shows that the criteria for differentiation include both legal features, such as legal capacity, and particular contractual constructions. The insurance broker acting for the benefit of the insurer acquires intermediary functions on the basis of mandate or commission agreements, agency agreements, or paid services agreements. All actions of the insurance broker in the interests of the insurer (reinsurer) are specified by paid services agreements because the insurance broker becomes an actual agent of the insurer in exercising their obligations to genuinely represent the interests of the insurer under the agency agreement, mandate or commission agreements, which is expressly prohibited by law. The detailed survey of the multi-level models of intermediary-partnership relations, in which several entities become involved in the intermediary relations, reveals that confusion can be avoided by recognizing the sub-agent or sub-broker relations at the regulatory level.

Published: March 2023

El COVID-19 se ha convertido en un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. El uso de los productos naturales y en particular de las plantas medicinales, resulta ser una herramienta terapéutica para el tratamiento de la enfermedad y su correspondiente sintomatología. La revisión que a continuación se presenta, luego de una búsqueda en bases de datos de rigor científico, ha tenido como objetivo identificar los productos naturales de origen vegetal que pueden ser empleados, con fines preventivos o como terapias complementarias, contra dicha infección viral. Las evidencias muestran que, aunque aún no existen suficientes ensayos clínicos para definir el uso de determinados recursos vegetales, la mayoría de los autores se inclinan a sugerir aquellas plantas que han mostrado, por estudios previos, actividad antiviral, efecto mucolítico, antiinflamatorio, inmunomodulador, inmunoestimulante, mucoprotector, antitusivo, expectorante, broncodilatador, hepatoprotector, entre otros. Cabe destacar que el mayor número de publicaciones científicas relacionadas con la temática, hacen alusión a la medicina natural tradicional de China y la India. Aunque los científicos a escala mundial han dedicado esfuerzos para encontrar medicamentos preventivos o tratamientos para tal afección, aún se necesitan evidencias científicas más fehacientes (ensayos clínicos estandarizados) que puedan constatar la real eficacia y seguridad de algunas plantas medicinales o metabolitos secundarios derivados de estas.

Background:

A new optimization algorithm is presented. The method is biased with new non monotone line search an accelerated three term conjugate gradient method damped of Quasi Newton method   compared to previews method design efficiency in provident of more than one factor  for different optimization problem are  more dramatic due to the ability of the technique to utile  existing data.

Materials and Methods:

 New monotone line search, new monotone line search, new modification of Damped Quasi-Newton method, Motivation and New Quasi-Newton Algorithm (MQ) and Global convergence.

Results:

In this work, we have n tendency to compare our new algorithm with same classical strategies like [7] by exploiting of unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem the functions obtained from Andrei [5, 6] Waziri and Sabiu (2015)[10] and La couzetul (2004)[3]. The numerical experiments demonstrate the performance of the proposed method. We selected seven relatively unconstrained problems with the size varies from 10 to 100. We consider the three sizes of each problem so that the total number of problem is 21 test problems. We stop the iteration when   is satisfied  All codes were written in Matlab R2017a and run on a pc with Intel COREi4 with a processor with 4GB of Ram and CPU 2.3GHZ we solved test problems using two different initial starting points.

Conclusion:

In this research article, a project on an accelerated three-term efficient algorithm for numerical optimization has presented the method as completely a derivative-free algorithm with less NOI and NOF and CPU time computed to the existing methods .using classical assumption the global convergence was also proved. Numerical results using the three terms efficient algorithm show that the algorithm is promising.

This study was conducted in the technical college of Mussaib / department of Animal Production Techniques to investigate the effect of season on some follicular fluid biochemical parameters in the ovaries of the- . Fifty ovaries were collected from Karbala and Najaf butcheries for two seasons: the first season (August 2021) and the second season (January 2022). Moreover, collected follicles were divided according to their sizes into three groups (first group < 3 mm), (second group 3-5 mm), and (third group > 5mm) The results showed a significant increase (P ≤ 0.01) for protein, glucose, cholesterol, and sodium, and a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) for calcium in the first season compared to the second season, and the significant increase was (P ≤ 0.05) for potassium in the second season compared to the first season. As for the follicles sizes the result exhibited, there were highly significant differences in the size of the follicles for the first group (< 3 mm ) P≤0.01, as it reached in the first season 8 (32.00%) and in the second season 13 (52.00%) and also found highly significant differences in the size of the follicles for the second group (3-5 mm) 11 (44.00%) in the first season and 6 (24.00%) in the second season (P≤0.01). for the follicles of the third group (> 5mm), there were no significant differences, as it reached 6 (24.00%) in the first season and 6 (24.00%) in the second season. The groups also differed significantly within the same season. The highly significant increase for the second group was (P≤0.01) compared to the rest of the groups within the first season, while in the second season, the high significant increase was for the first group (P≤0.01) compared to the rest of the groups.

Tea is one of the plantation products within the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia, which plays an essential role as a mainstay commodity that boosts the Indonesian economy. Each type of tea has different properties, and the aroma of each type of tea can measure the quality of the tea. The human sense of smell is still very limited in classifying pure types of tea. Therefore, a device is needed to help measure the aroma of tea from an electronic nose. The devices attached to several gas sensors help humans take data from the smell of pure tea and calculate the value of each type of tea to test datasets with data mining algorithms. This study uses the C4.5 algorithm as a classification method with advantages over noise data, missing values, and handling variables with discrete and continuous types. Meanwhile, Chi-square is used to perform attribute severing in the data preprocessing process to increase the accuracy of dataset testing. Testing a pure tea dataset with four whole attributes, namely CO2, CO, H2, and CH4, using the C4.5 algorithm resulted in an accuracy of 93.65% and an increase in the accuracy performance of the C4.5 algorithm by 94.27% with dataset testing using Chi-Square feature selection with the two highest value attributes.
Health challenges in Indonesia
Authors: Anne Booth
Published: March 2023

Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world by population and has made considerable progress since the 1960s in terms of economic growth and structural transformation. But in recent years it has become apparent that the health of the nation is far from satisfactory. The purpose of this article is to review recent literature on health problems in Indonesia and to outline the policy challenges which face the government. Since 2001, the provision of primary health care has been decentralized to sub-provincial levels of government but they lack often lack the resources, and trained staff to provide adequate services to rural populations in particular. The literature suggests that while most health indicators have shown some improvement in recent years, there are still large variations by region and social class. The country is still far from achieving the goal of universal health coverage.
