Due to the high concentration of secondary metabolites present in nearly every part of the plant, black turmeric (Curcuma caesia Roxb.), a traditional medicinal plant, may provide a natural supply of antioxidants. The objective of this research is to determine the total phenolic content of the black turmeric rhizome ethanol extract using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The extraction was performed by macerating the material in a solution consisting of 70% ethanol. We employed the Folin-Ciocalteu method to ascertain the total phenolic content, which was then represented as gallic acid equivalent (GAE). The research revealed that there were 192 mg GAE/g of total phenolic content in the ethanol extract of black turmeric rhizome. According to the metrics measuring total phenolic content, the black turmeric rhizome ethanol extract may have antioxidant properties. This study provides important information about black turmeric's antioxidant potential which can be used to develop herbal products based on this plant.

Authors: Toor Muhammad Javaid , Sarwar Muhammad , Mirza Muhammad Arif
Published: October 2024

The study was primarily focused on investigating the effect of self-regulated learning (SRL) on the academic achievement of Chinese language learners among non-native learners. It was a true experimental research methodology based on pre-test and post-test research design. It was conducted at the University of Central Punjab (UCP) Lahore by selecting 70 students. After conducting the pre-test it was randomly allocated into dual groupings. One is the experimental while the other is the control group. After 16 weeks of treatment, a post-test was conducted. The results showed that the higher the achievement of learners of the experimental group than the learners alienated into the control group of the Chinese language post-test although all students performed equally in the pre-test which exhibited that all students had the same knowledge about the Chinese language before conducting research. It is also recommended that teachers should be conscious of employing the stratagem that initiates self-regulating learning in accordance with the contents of the textbook.  Foregoing the above, it is suggested that the developers responsible for implementing the curriculum should also design the courses to inspire students to boost self-regulating-learning skills among them.  Refresher-Courses for the professional-cum-novice instructors should be conducted to include the significance of self-regulating learning for students as well.  The present research study was focused on the behavioral domain of self-regulating learning with respect to academic achievement of students learning the Chinese language at the university level and more is appreciated to fill the gap.
Democracy and Ethnic Conflict: A Comparative Analysis of Cyprus, Pakistan and Palestine
Authors: Talat Daniyal , Nawaz Gulnaz
Published: October 2024

This study examines the complex link between ethnic strife and democracy in the three different contexts of Palestine, Pakistan, and Cyprus. Based on the knowledge that ethnically varied communities frequently struggle to manage interethnic conflicts, the research develops and evaluates theories to reveal the complex processes at work. The impact of inclusion in democratic government, the function of institutional strength, the impact of outside players, and the relationship between ethnic conflicts and economic inequality are the main topics of speculation. The research examines the viability of these theories in the unique historical, political, and social contexts of each nation by using a comparative approach. In Pakistan, where several ethnic groups live side by side, the study evaluates how democratic government either lessens or exacerbates past conflicts. The study looks at how democracy interacts with outside forces in the context of resolving conflict in the split island of Cyprus. Research in Palestine explores the intricacies of democratic struggles in the Palestinian territories and how they relate to the larger Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The results add to our understanding of how democracy may be used as a tool for controlling and averting ethnic tensions if it is framed and implemented well. The study also emphasizes the necessity of context-specific strategies, recognizing that different historical, cultural, and geopolitical elements particular to each situation must be considered for democratic administration to be successful in reducing ethnic conflicts.

This article examines the attitudes of Kazakhstani citizens towards health problems among immigrants. Respondents (N=401) from different regions of Kazakhstan took part in the study in 2023. According to the results of the study, it was found that (1) male respondents demonstrated significantly higher engagement with news about migrants compared to females. (2) Age and level of education were not associated with news engagement. (3) The probability of emigration correlated negatively with age but positively with education level, and positively with frequency of following migration news. (4) Individuals with conservative ideological orientations and liberal economic perspectives were more likely to follow migration news. (5) Attitudes towards immigrant health varied, with the majority supporting continuous health monitoring but divided opinions on whether immigrants pose a danger to public health. (6) Socio-demographic factors such as language, gender, experience living abroad, and ideological orientation influenced attitudes toward immigrant health. Therefore, understanding the complex attitudes of citizens towards immigrant health issues is essential for developing targeted interventions and policies that promote integration and address the diverse needs of both immigrants and the host population in Kazakhstan.

Foot and mouth disease is considered one of the major hindrances to the growth of animal husbandry in Nigeria, with a projected annual loss of about 7 billion naira. We sought to establish the hematological and biochemical features in Nigerian indigenous cattle naturally infected with FMDV by comparing the hematological and biochemical features with breed, sex, and age. Forty cattle showing clinical manifestations and confirmed positive for FMD with the FMD rapid diagnostic kit were sampled for this study. Standard hematological and serum biochemical techniques were adopted for the analysis. Demography findings revealed more clinical FMD cases in the White Fulani breed (50%) compared to the least in Red Bororo (10%), females (60%) compared to males (40%), and adults (60%) compared to young (40%) cattle, respectively. There were generalized neutrophilia, lymphopenia, hypoproteinemia, increased ALT, and decreased AST enzymes when compared with reference ranges. All parameters analyzed regarding sex revealed no significance in their mean ± standard deviation, except neutrophils and absolute neutrophils, with p-values of 0.022 and 0.003, respectively. The results of all parameters regarding ages showed no statistical significance when comparisons of their mean ± SD were analyzed. We therefore conclude that there were more incidences of FMD in white Fulani, female, and adult cattle compared to other breeds, male and young animals, respectively, in Nigeria. The hematological and biochemical features appeared better in the Red Bororo breed, female and adult FMD-infected cattle compared to other breeds, male and young FMD-infected cattle respectively.

The aim of this study was to identify the preputial aerobic bacterial flora from bulls, rams and bucks and to determine their antimicrobial sensitivities. Preputial swabs were collected randomly from twenty each of clinically healthy post pubertal bulls, rams and bucks. Using standard bacteriological techniques, the following bacteria were identified; Escherichia coli (bulls 26.5%, rams 19.2% and buck 22.7%), Staphylococcus aureus (bulls 25.0 %, rams 26.0 % and bucks 24.2 %), Streptococcus (bulls 20.6%, rams 26.0 % and bucks 25.8%), Salmonella (bulls 14.7%), Shigella (rams 15.1% and bucks 15.2%) and Klebsiella (bulls 13.2%, rams 13.7 % and bucks 12.1%) species. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the proportions of bacterial species and different animal species. In bulls, all bacterial isolates were susceptible to Ciprofloxacin (100%) and Levofloxacin (100%) while 60% of the bacterial isolates showed resistance to amoxicillin, ampiclox and streptomycin. In rams, all the bacterial isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin (100%) and gentamycin (100%) while 40% of bacterial isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol. In bucks, all bacterial isolates were susceptible to amoxicillin (100%), ampiclox (100%) and gentamycin (100%) while 20% bacterial isolates were resistant to streptomycin. This study shows that a few bacteria colonize the prepuce of ruminants in Maiduguri and there is need for preputial washing prior to breeding to reduce contamination of semen during natural mating or collection. Amoxiciillin, ampiclox, ciprofloxacin and gentamycin could be used as therapeutic agents to diseases that could be caused by the bacteria in prepuce of these animal species.

The Relevance of Off-Campus Activities to the Achievement of College Students
Authors: Wang Ling
Published: October 2024

When students finally face the work scene, they practice the theories and teaching methods they have learned in the classroom discussion with teachers, and their learning can be best reflected, which we call off-school activities. In fact, not everything can be studied in the four walls of the classroom. When students begin to explore outside the classroom, they can learn so much during their off-campus activities. In todays education ecology, after-school education activities, as an effective extension and enrichment of school education, are increasingly important, and their forms are more diversified, which accurately meet the diversified learning and development needs of students and parents. However, the rapid development of after-school education is also accompanied by the lack of norms, weak theoretical research and other problems, leading to the confusion in the practical and theoretical levels. The main problems include the vague definition of the nature, the policy system is not perfect, and the management system needs to be improved. Off-campus educational institutions are faced with challenges such as insufficient radiation force, limited resources, and the urgent need for improving facilities and teachers. Especially for college students, the increased participation in extracurricular activities highlights the seriousness of off-campus academic education, but the leading role of public institutions is limited, and the overall participation is insufficient. Therefore, it is very important to explore and solve these problems, to promote the healthy development of college students extracurricular education and to build a perfect theoretical framework of after-school education.

CREATION OF A SITUATION OF SUCCESS AS A MODERN PEDAGOGICAL PROBLEM IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
Authors: Harutyunyan G. , Janikyan S.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the study of one of the most important problems of modern pedagogy — creating a situation of success in primary school which in today’s changing life is considered an important and pressing issue, as it is the basis for the correct and effective organization of the educational process.

Success is associated with joy and positive emotions that a person experiences during and as a result of the work done. Having positive emotions in the corner of the memory makes the work perform in a pleasant way.

Consequently, if a student has achieved a positive result and felt the joy of success, then he is involved in further educational activities with pleasure and interest.

Success in educational activities is directly related to subsequent success in various areas of life, since at school students acquire not only knowledge, but also life experience that accompanies them throughout their lives.

Creating a situation of success in elementary school depends on the cooperation and mutually agreed upon work of the primary school student, parent and teacher. The teacher’s task is to create conditions for students to feel the joy of success, realize their capabilities and believe in themselves.

Summarizing the outcomes of the research, the article substantiates the creation of a situation of success in primary school as a modern pedagogical problem. The paper serves as a guideline for teachers aimed at creating a situation of success in the pedagogical process of primary school and increasing the effectiveness of teaching activities.

Authors: Manucharyan S. , Nalbandyan T.
Published: October 2024

The problem of developing communicative abilities is paramount in the processes of socialization of preschoolers, the formation of interpersonal relationships, orientation in various situations and the search for an appropriate solution. We have analyzed the scientific and theoretical studies of communicative abilities, clarified the purpose, methodology of the problem and identified the problems that were justified by the research work and summarized the results obtained.

The article considers communication and joint activity as the most important components of a preschooler’s daily life. It is during communication that the child learns about the world, learns to react to the environment, builds relationships and acquires social experience and abilities. The most important structural element of a child’s activity is the need to communicate with adults and peers. It is scientifically proven that communicative abilities with peers become a guarantee of a child’s social and personal development and determine the success and effectiveness of further development. The desire to cooperate with peers, to become a member of a social group of peers pushes a preschooler to certain actions that, when working together, are compared with the actions of a partner. Comparing classes enriches a child’s social experience. The impact of the pedagogical ways proposed by us, aimed at developing the communicative abilities of older preschool children, will contribute to the social and personal development of the child, the construction of interpersonal relationships.

Formation and development of communicative abilities in the senior preschool age is a specially organized pedagogical process. It involves work planning, selection, planning, a sequence of effective means and forms to ensure the continuous development of communication abilities of preschoolers.

It is shown that the experience and knowledge accumulated by students in solving theoretical problems can also be used in implementing design problems. The article presents two experimental problems of varying complexity as an example. The first problem relates to determining (estimating) the pressure exerted by a standing person on the floor. In contrast to the accepted formal approach to performing such a problem, special attention is paid to the method of determining the contact surface of the foot with the floor, which is also important from an interdisciplinary point of view. It is no coincidence that a significant portion of design work involves the application of knowledge from more than one discipline. The next problem considered in the article is related to determining the coefficient of friction of a body with a plane by using elementary devices. Two solutions to this problem are given. Comparisons of these approaches are also presented, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
THE REFERENCE TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN THE FATES OF THE HEROES FROM SASUN IN M. GALSHOYAN’S COLLECTION OF THE STORIES “THE CLOUDS OF MOUNTAIN MARUTA”. “UNCLE TOROS” AND “THATTON”

Mushegh Galshoyan as a distinguished figure of the newest period of the
Armenian literature, depicts the fates of the Sasun dwellers who had to flee
from Western Armenia to Eastern Armenia during the Armenian Genocide in
his story collection "Clouds of Mountain Maruta".
People were united by one common goal: they settled down and built
houses, but they did not lose the hope of returning home, they missed their
country.
Each hero of a story, living in a new reality, uprooted from the
motherland and settled in a new land, keeps memories of Yergir alive. In the
deep layers of each character‘s minds, those memories become so real and
vivid that they unconsciously want to go back to Yergir, with the greatest urge
to complete their unfinished life in the realm of dreams and illusions.

We attempted monitoring and mapping of the active fire events in Punjab, during the wheat and rice harvesting period of 2017-2021 from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) at 375 m aboard. The analysis showed that the highest fire counts were observed in the central region, followed by the south-west and thelowest in the north-east region of Punjab during all the years. Moreover, during the wheat season, highest fire counts were observed in 2019, being 2535, 11062 and 6212 in north-east, central and south-west regions, respectively. However, during rice, highest fire counts were observed in 2020 in the north-east being 2857 and in 2021 the central and south-west regions being 40960 and 30351 respectively. In line with the number of fire counts, the highest concentration of gases and particulate matter obtained from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) was also observed in the central zone. During the wheat harvesting season, central zone experienced the highest concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 in May 2018 and that of SO2 and O3 in May 2019. Similarly, during the rice harvesting season, central zone also experienced the highest concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 during November 2017 and that of SO2 in 2018. However, the highest concentration of NO2 was observed in October 2018 and that of O3 in October 2020 in the central region. Analysis of the concentration of NO2 and SO2 obtained from the Soumi-NPP satellite also had similar results to CPCB. Such a high concentration of gases and particulate matter might be attributed to crop residue burning a significant positive correlation was observed between fire counts and concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). In view of the alarming deterioration of air quality, there is a dire need to check this practice in the region by providing incentives and viable alternatives to the farmers.
District wise spatiotemporal analysis of precipitation trend during 1900-2022 in Bihar state, India
Authors: Singh Priyanka , Mall R K , Singh K K

Precipitation over a region plays vital role in determining availability of water resource whereas study of spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall helps in managing precipitation associated risks like drought, flood etc. The present study is carried out in the state of Bihar, India using District-wise rainfall data of Bihar for period 1900–2022. Major findings of study indicate that CV and SD of monsoon season and annual rainfall are in a moderate range except for districts Begusarai and Jahanabad; however, CVs for pre-monsoon, winter, and post-monsoon seasons were high for all the districts. Innovative trend analysis of the rainfall indicates either no trend or a negative trend except in few districts, and in recent years the negative trend is observed in almost all the districts. To understand homogeneity in rainfall, the precipitation concentration index and its trend analysis performed through Mann-Kendall test. PCI analysis indicates irregularly distributed annual and uniformly distributed monsoon rainfall. High inhomogeneity in annual rainfall is due to the post-monsoon PCI contribution.   PCI trend was found positive in the southern, extreme northern, and central parts of Bihar, whereas extreme west districts of Bihar like Aurangabad, Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas, and extreme eastern districts like Purnia, Katihar, Araria, and Supaul had negative trend.
Characteristics and Efficiency of Heat Transfer for Natural Convection by Ag-CuO/H2O Hybrid Nanofluid Inside a Square Cavity with Corrugated Walls
Authors: Razik Benderradji , Meryem Brahimi , Hamza Gouidmi
Published: October 2024

A parametric numerical study is conducted on laminar natural convection and heat transfer in a cavity with opposing undulated walls saturated with a hybrid Ag-CuO/water nanofluid. The two vertical walls of the sinusoidally undulated cavity are maintained at hot and cold temperatures, while the upper and lower walls are thermally insulated. The investigation examines the effects of relevant parameters such as the sinusoidally undulated geometry of the walls for different volumetric fractions of nanoparticles (0% ≤φ≤6%) and Rayleigh numbers (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106) Thefinite-volumee discretization method is employed to solve the system of governing equations. The results indicate that an increase in the volumetric fraction of nanoparticles enhances the heat exchange rate in the cavity. Additionally, the Rayleigh number, with a significant increase in surface area, strongly influences the dominant heat transfer mode in the cavity. Furthermore, an increase in the number of wall undulations leads to a reduction in the heat transfer rate.
Impactos da política de salário-mínimo e tributação do trabalho formal sobre o bem-estar e decisão das famílias

Published: October 2024

O presente artigo traz uma abordagem de interação entre política fiscal e desemprego através de um modelo dinâmico estocástico de equilíbrio geral (DSGE) que versa, sobretudo, analisar efeitos de políticas fiscais trabalhistas sobre o desemprego. O modelo permite fazer considerações acerca dos mercados de trabalho formal e informal, avaliar o prêmio à qualificação no Brasil e corrobora a ideia de que o mercado de trabalho formal brasileiro é muito mais explicado pela sua própria rigidez do que pela dinâmica econômica.  O modelo teórico foi calibrado para a economia brasileira e utilizando uma análise de equilíbrio parcial, os resultados mostraram o trade off entre investimento em capital e educação, lazer e oferta de trabalho no setor formal e informal das famílias.
Custo da Reserva Legal para os produtores agropecuários fluminenses entre 2006 e 2017
Authors: Campos Samuel Alex Coelho
Published: October 2024

Os dos fatores de produção essenciais à produção agropecuária é a terra. Contudo, o código florestal limita a área que o produtor pode realizar o corte raso objetivando à preservação ambiental. Essa restrição implica em um custo de oportunidade geralmente arcado integralmente pelos produtores rurais. Para calcular esse custo para os produtores representativos médios do Rio de Janeiro, foi utilizado a metodologia proposta por Zhou, Ang e Poh (2006). Os resultados indicaram que o custo de oportunidade varia proporcionalmente em relação à receita agropecuária dos produtores representativos médios, com perceptual que oscilou entre 3% a 95% da receita proveniente da atividade agropecuária. Destaca-se também que esse custo médio elevou entre os períodos analisados, que pode ser atribuído, dentre outros, à redução da área média do estabelecimento agropecuária. Como forma de reduzir esse custo podem ser implementados o Programa de Apoio e Incentivo à Preservação e Recuperação do Meio Ambiente previstos no Código Florestal.
