Authors:   Astrakhan state university, named after V.N. Tatishchev, Tsegay Merhawi , Sukhenko Lyudmila
Published: May 2024

Significant quantities of toxic heavy metals are regularly deposited into soil environments every day as a result of industrial and human activities, as well as natural emissions. Today, biological methods for reducing heavy metal pollution are becoming increasingly common as an innovative approach to combating heavy metal pollution. The purpose of this study was to identify soil bacteria capable of removing heavy metals and to explore the potential of native bacteria in the bioremediation process. During this experiment, various soil samples were collected from several sites (river bank Rvs1, bus station Bt2, agricultural site Ag3, landfill Gr4 and construction site Cn5). Five bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples using a conventional serial plate dilution method. Morphologically distinct colonies were selected and purified during incubation. Pure cultures of bacterial colonies were established and maintained as slant cultures. Depending on preliminary physical, chemical and morphological characteristics, isolates RvsS1, Bt2, Ag3, Gr4 and Cn5 were compared with the bacterial species: “Proteus”, “Staphylococcus”, “Pseudomonas”, “Bacilli” and “Klebsiella” respectively. Bacterial isolates were examined for their uptake of Cu, Cd and Pb in flask bioreactors. Strains RV1, Bt2, Ag3 and Gr4 removed 48.7%, 25.6%, 59.8% and 23.5% of lead, respectively. The removal efficiency of isolate Cn5 was 35.68% for lead and 48.53% for copper. Thus, the data demonstrate that the use of indigenous bacteria is potentially effective in the bioremediation of heavy metals.

Published: May 2024

Human Immunodeficiency Virus – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome HIV/AIDS stands as one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease globally and is regarded as one of the deadliest epidemic in human history. This study presents a mathematical model for understanding the dynamics of HIV/AIDS transmission, incorporating a saturated incidence rate. The model employs a system of ordinary differential equations, comprising various group of individuals including susceptible, asymptomatic infective, symptomatic infective, treated and AIDS class. The validity of the solution states affirms that the model is well-defined and holds epidemiological significance. The disease-free and endemic equilibrium states are identified, and their stability is analyzed using Routh Hurwitz criteria. Sensitivity analysis was carried out using normalized forward sensitivity index and result showed that the contact rate is the most sensitive parameter. However, it is observed from the numerical simulation that screening and treatment of the infective play a significant role in reducing the transmission of the disease. The outcome of the stability analysis for both disease-free and endemics equilibrium states indicates the potential for HIV/AIDS control.

Published: May 2024

Countless studies have examined the vital role of ELT textbooks as learning sources, particularly in terms of intercultural, multicultural, and trans-cultural analysis. Yet, none of them specifically talked about religious values as the research focus. Hence, this study aimed at construing religious values represented in a selected chapter of an Indonesian ELT textbook. Descriptive problem-driven content analysis was used as the research design, whilst the research data were collected through document analysis. Later, to analyze the data, the research utilized Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) (O’Halloran, 2008c) as the framework with a focus on representational meaning and transitivity analysis for each visual and textual data. The findings showed that two data modes represent religiosity, namely visual and verbal data. In visual, religious values (artifacts, beliefs, and behaviors) are represented by the classificational process while in verbal data; they are represented by the material and relational processes. Four of Indonesia's large recognized religious communities were represented namely Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Yet, there is no single datum that figures Islamic values, whereas, the Islamic community is the largest in the country and even in the world. Hence, this implication suggests that stakeholders (particularly textbook authors) should pay attention to the issue of how to fairly present the five legalized communities' values existing in Indonesia. Therefore, because Indonesia has varied its communities, ethnicities, and backgrounds, ELT textbooks should fairly embody the diversities more over the religious aspects which are the core competence to gain.

However, amidst this cultural decline, a unique endeavor emerges in the heart of Mentawai: the preservation of tattoos through the intricate art of Mentawai tattoo batik. This qualitative ethnographic study delves into the depths dicourse of Mentawai tattoo batik, illuminating its significance in the preservation of Mentawai's rich tattoo heritage. Through meticulous observations across the four islands of Mentawai and in-depth interviews with tattoo owners, particularly the revered Sikerei who lead the sacred Lia rituals, this research uncovers the profound narrative woven within each tattoo motif. In Matotonan Village, once vibrant with tattoo culture, youth no longer hold tattoos in high regard, risking the loss of this ancient tradition. Yet, amidst this cultural shift, Mentawai elders embark on a noble mission: to immortalize the sacred symbols of their ancestors by transferring Mentawai tattoo motifs onto clothing. This symbolic gesture not only safeguards the legacy of Mentawai tattoos but also ensures their transmission to future generations. For the Mentawai people, tattoos transcend mere body art; they embody the sacred connection between humanity and the natural world of Mentawai. As efforts to preserve these timeless symbols gain momentum, batik adorned with Mentawai tattoo motifs emerges as a beacon of hope, igniting a revival of cultural pride and heritage in the heart of Mentawai. Through the production of tattoo motif batik as a burgeoning home industry, the legacy of Mentawai tattoos finds new life, promising to endure for generations to come.

Published: May 2024

In 2015, the thirteenth resolution of the Rwanda National Dialogues Council concluded that Rwanda should implement strategies for promoting the Kinyarwanda language and the values of Rwandan culture at all levels of education. The National Constitution of 2003, revised in 2015, stipulates Kinyarwanda as both the national and official language, a status this resolution aims to reinforce.  This study was conducted to analyze the best practices and challenges encountered by trainees and trainers during the implementation of Kinyarwanda Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) at the school under study, and to provide suggestions to mitigate these challenges. Two theories, namely constructivism and curriculum implementation theories, guided the conduct of the study. To address the identified research questions, the researchers employed a descriptive research design, conducting both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the collected data, which included both numerical and non-numerical information. The researchers used a questionnaire to collect data from both trainers and trainees. The study's key findings underscore the need to encourage certain best practices, including motivated learners and qualified and experienced trainers. However, some challenges persist in implementing Kinyarwanda CBC at IPRC Karongi/Technical Secondary Schools (TSS), such as the lack of specific training for Kinyarwanda trainers, the insufficient weekly timetable for Kinyarwanda subjects, and the lack of useful teaching and learning resources. Lastly, as recommendations of this study, trainees, should maximize their efforts in writing and speaking Kinyarwanda, trainers, on the other side, should increase their efforts in practicing CBT/CBA approaches, parents are urged to be role models and encourage their children to use Kinyarwanda language effectively, the school is should provide enough time for Kinyarwanda readings as well motivating trainees who participate in competitions of Kinyarwanda language whereas the decision makers in education are advised to carefully select and employ the qualified trainers, increase the weekly time allocated for teaching Kinyarwanda subject, improve the preparation and implementation of comprehensive assessments.

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar os saberes do conteúdo musical que constituem a identidade profissional de professores habilitados em Artes Visuais/Plásticas que ensinam música na escola. Fundamentados em base teórica sobre os saberes docentes, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa – de observação participante – que envolveu quatro professores de Arte. Os dados foram constituídos por meio de entrevistas, questionários e notas de campo da observação. Os resultados revelaram que os saberes do conteúdo musical que constituem a identidade profissional dos professores são relacionados à história da música e da arte, aos elementos da linguagem musical, às habilidades práticas, aos saberes teórico-práticos musicais e às perspectivas ontológicas. Em contrapartida, a análise do material empírico também revelou que os professores possuem limitações significativas, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao domínio teórico dos elementos da linguagem musical, ao propor as atividades práticas de ensino e aprendizagem e ao discutir os aspectos próprios do conhecimento musical.

Published: May 2024

This meta-analysis examines the efficacy of the cognitive behavioral approach to interventions toward the improvement of executive function for children/adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD). This meta-analysis paper has identified ten studies involving 437 participants with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder aged between 5 and 18. All the participants reported IQs were at or above 70. A random effect meta-analysis yielded a moderately significant effect (Hedge g = 0.72) with significant heterogeneity [Q(10) = 228.36, p < .001]. There were considerable variations in the executive function domain, i.e., working memory (hedge g = 1.23) and inhibition (g = 0.47), showing significant treatment effects. On the other hand, cognitive flexibility (g = -0.51) and planning (g = -0.07) show non-significant effects toward cognitive behavioral interventions. The finding suggests that the cognitive behavioral approach to intervention demonstrates efficacy in improving executive function in children or adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. All the cognitive behavioral intervention studies were conducted in developed countries, so differences between the approaches between developed and developing countries were inconclusive. Future studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral techniques in intervention for low-functioning autism spectrum disorder children.

Blind Tennis: Coaches’ perspectives on an Australian-based program
Authors: Young Janet , Fitz-Gerald Ray
Published: May 2024

We generally think of Melbourne Park as the home of the Australian Open. Few would be aware that it is also home throughout the year to a program that attracts a loyal group of blind and vision impaired players. This program joins a growing number of national and international tennis programs that are breaking down long standing barriers for individuals who are blind or vision impaired (Lin, 2004). Reversing what was previously considered impossible, tennis is no longer only played by players with sight. It is now a fully inclusive sport that can also be enjoyed by persons who are blind or vision impaired. This paper reviews the Melbourne Park Blind Tennis program that is truly remarkable in terms of the benefits it affords all participants.

Authors: Kuzmina-Rimsa Irina , Parandjuks Rihards
Published: May 2024

Tennis, a sport that can be played at any age, has become very popular in Latvia, and its prestige and commercialization have promoted the development of the sport in Latvia as well. However, taking into consideration that the tennis infrastructure is still not sufficient in quantity, there are not many opportunities to play it in sports schools. The study's authors wanted to find out why public sports schools do not choose to include tennis in their range of sports sections. Currently, most young tennis players train in private tennis clubs. To clarify the situation, quantitative data surveys were conducted with representatives of sports schools, as well as qualitative interviews with specialists in the field of tennis. The results showed the impact of different aspects - the competence of coaches in the regions, infrastructure availability, and the funding model specifics. Based on the study's results, the authors develop recommendations that should be followed so that tennis is more present in state sports schools. In this way, the mass formation of the sport would be promoted. Thus, there is a higher probability of tending to a sport of increased achievement.

Erneut Spezialbestimmungen und der Schutz aussenpolitischer Interessen im Fokus
Authors: Ladanie-Kämpfer Daniel
Published: May 2024

Im Jahr 2023 ergingen zahlreiche Urteile zum BGÖ. Wie bereits in vergangenen Jahren waren insbesondere Spezialbestimmungen anderer Bundesgesetzte sowie der Schutz aussenpolitischer Interessen und internationaler Beziehungen der Schweiz regelmässig Streitgegenstand. Die Prüfung vermeintlicher Spezialbestimmungen, die dem Zugangsrecht nach BGÖ vorgehen, scheint den Gerichten gelegentlich noch immer Schwierigkeiten zu bereiten. Teilweise kommt es hier zu latenten Widersprüchen in der Rechtsprechung. Hingegen festigten die Gerichte ihre Praxis zum Schutz der aussenpolitischen Interessen und der internationalen Beziehungen der Schweiz. Dabei üben sie in Einklang mit ihrer ständigen Rechtsprechung eine gewisse Zurückhaltung bei der Überprüfung von Entscheiden vorwiegend aussenpolitischen Gehalts, zeigen zugleich aber auch deutlich auf, dass diese Zurückhaltung nicht als Freipass der Behörden für eine willkürliche Anwendung der entsprechenden Ausnahmebestimmung verstanden werden darf.
