Effects of Bilingualism on Cognitive Processing
Authors: Mackenzie Cory
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The general purpose of the study was to examine the effects of bilingualism on cognitive processing.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effects of bilingualism on cognitive processing. Preliminary empirical review revealed that bilingualism is associated with cognitive advantages, such as enhanced attentional control, executive function, and working memory capacity. Through a review of existing literature, it was found that bilingual individuals often outperform monolinguals in cognitive tasks, supporting the Bilingual Advantage Theory. Additionally, evidence suggested that bilingualism may contribute to a slower rate of cognitive decline in older age. These findings have implications for educators, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, highlighting the potential benefits of promoting bilingual education and language preservation efforts.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Bilingual Advantage theory, Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Reserve theory may be used to anchor future studies on bilingualism and cognitive processing. The study made significant contributions to theory, practice, and policy. It supported the Bilingual Advantage Theory by demonstrating enhanced cognitive processing abilities in bilingual individuals. Recommendations included further exploration of underlying mechanisms, tailored interventions in educational and clinical settings, and policies supporting bilingual education and language diversity. These findings and recommendations aimed to advance understanding of bilingualism's cognitive benefits, inform practice in education and healthcare, and influence policy development for promoting linguistic diversity and cognitive development.

Submissão Feminina no Romance A Vida em Flor de Dona Bêja a Partir da Personagem Maria
Authors: Amarante Nascimento Vinícius , Aparecida Ribeiro Lopes de Almeida Edwirgens
Published: March 2024

RESUMO: No romance escrito por Agripa Vasconcelos A vida em flor de Dona Bêja de 1957, que representa o ciclo do povoamento do estado de Minas Gerais no século XIX, Dona Beja é a figura feminina da história de Araxá que protagoniza o romance. Entretanto, essa pesquisa objetivou analisar as representações criadas sobre a mãe de Dona Beja, a personagem Maria, pois, a partir da sua participação no enredo do romance é possível repensar a situação feminina na sociedade patriarcal e perceber a tentativa de dominação masculina sobre as mulheres que se expressou a partir de diversas formas de violência. Desse modo, é possível afirmar, que a partir de uma ficção histórica, é possível repensar as desigualdades que foram sendo constituídas ao longo da história entre homens e mulheres.

В статье представлены результаты исследования быстроты восприятия и переработки зрительной информации у студентов при занятиях различными видами спортивных игр. Опытно–экспериментальную группу составили студенты первых, вторых и третьих курсов, проходящие специализацию по таким видам спортивных игр как баскетбол, волейбол и футбол; опытно – контрольную группу - студенты таких же курсов, но проходящие специализацию по таким видам спорта как борьба (поясная), легкая атлетика и плавание (бег и плавание на длинные дистанции). Результаты исследования показали: занятия игровыми видами спорта, по сравнению с «не игровыми видами» спорта способствуют поддержанию высоко уровня показателя быстроты восприятия и переработки зрительно информации. При анализе, результатов, общих для всех курсов студентов игровых специальностей, было выявлено: в первую очередь наилучшие показатели быстроты переработки зрительной информации достоверно улучшаются у занимающихся футболом; во вторую – волейболом, в третью очередь - баскетболом. Но в то же время не у всех занимающихся баскетболом и волейболом в одинаковой мере ожидается отмеченное улучшение искомого показателя, так как уровни индивидуальной изменчивости (вариативности) результатов в каждой группе игроков, колеблются в очень больших пределах и составляют 62.7–80%. Следовательно, специализированные занятия по баскетболу и волейболу предъявляют более высокие требования к проявлению индивидуальных способностей (возможно, и естественно - «природных задатков») занимающихся, особенно функционально важных для выработки устойчивых, тактика - мыслительных навыков в избранном виде игры.

İnsanın Evrendeki Konumunun Bilim Tarihine Yansımaları: Stephen Hawking Örneği
Authors: Koç Mustafa
Published: March 2024

Öz

Bu çalışmada ilkçağlardan günümüze değin, insanın evrendeki konumunu belirlemek amacıyla ortaya konan evren modellerinin gerçeklik algımızda ne tür değişimlere yol açtığı ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda, dünya merkezli evren modeli yerine Güneş merkezli evren modelinin önerilmesi ekseninde ele alınan her bir kuramın insanların gerçeklikle ilgili kavramlarını nasıl değiştirdiği ortaya konmuştur. Bilim tarihindeki bu tür değişimler kimi zaman önyargıların, kimi zaman da dinin etkisinde kalmış ve Galileo’yla birlikte evrendeki değişimlerin özel yasalarla işlediği anlaşılıncaya kadar devam etmiştir. Galileo’nun devrimci fikirleri sayesinde Kilisenin aklına, ölçütüne ve yöntemine başvurulmadan evren hakkında doğru bilgiye fizik ve matematikle ulaşılabileceği tezi öne çıkmıştır. Eğer evren Galileo’nun ifade ettiği biçimde matematiksel yasalarla yönetiliyorsa mekanik bir doğa anlayışı söz konusu demektir. Buna dayanarak Laplace eksiksiz bir dizi yasayı ortaya koymak için “bilimsel belirlenimciliği” savunmuştur. Bu ilke gelecekte nasıl bir evrenin bizi beklediğini ortaya koymayı hedeflese de bunun aksine geleceği kesin olarak bilebileceğimiz görüşüne bir sınır çizen “belirsizlik ilkesi” geliştirilmiştir. Nitekim insanoğlunun varlığı, kozmostaki yerine bağlı olarak evreni gözleyebileceğimiz bazı yasaları dikte ettiği artık bilinen bir husustur. Bu durum akıllı bir yaşamın koşullarını zorunlu kıldığı için insanın kozmostaki yeri kozmik bir değerle ifade edilir. Bu ifade biçimi zayıf antropik ilke bağlamında ele alınarak evrenin neden insanın varoluşuyla uyumluluk gösterdiği açıklanmıştır. İşte bu konunun tartışılmasına yönelik olarak makalede Hawking’in çalışmaları tipik bir örnek olarak ele alınıp değerlendirilmiştir.
SORGUN AŞAĞIKARAHACILI KÖYÜ: ESE ÜNAL KÖY ODASI

Published: March 2024

Türk kültüründe ve sanat tarihinde toplumsal rol üstelenen, bunun yanı sıra işlevselliği ön planda olan ve dönem üslubunun bir ürünü olarak inşa edilen yapılar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu yapılar içerisinde önemli bir grubu da köy odaları oluşturmaktadır. Bu yapılar yalnızca halk mimarisi bakımından önemli değildir ayrıca kültürel ve sanatsal açıdan da büyük bir değer taşımaktadırlar. Günümüzde kaderine terkedilen çoğu köy odası ise içerisinde barındırdığı sanatı ile yok olmaya mahkûm edilmiştir. Bu sebeple günümüzde geçmiş zaman izlerini, sanat anlayışını ve kültürünü okuyabildiğimiz örnek sayısı oldukça azdır. Çalışmada bu yapılardan biri olan Yozgat Sorgun ilçesine bağlı Aşağıkarahacılı Köyünde tespit ettiğimiz Ese Ünal köy odasının mimari ve sanatsal çözümlemesiyle birlikte tarihlendirmesi üzerine bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Günümüzde yapı işlevselliğini yitirmesinin ardından kaderine terkedilmiş, zarar görmüş ve kısmen yıkıma maruz kalmıştır. Bu çalışmayla bir kültür ve sanat eseri olan bu köy odasının, görsel ve teknik boyutta belgelenmesi, bilim camiasına tanıtılması ve yapının yaşatılmasına katkıda bulunmak hedeflenmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucu köy odasının 1882-1910 yılları arasında yapılmış olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Son olarak yapının yıkılmış olan aralık, atlık ve kahve ocağı kısmı restitüsyon çalışmasıyla plan ve görünüş olarak verilmiştir. Çevresel etkilere rağmen geçmişin izlerini ayakta tutmaya çalışan, bu yapı örneğinin restore edilerek, gelecek nesillere kültür ve sanat bilinciyle aktarılması gerekmektedir.

Authors: Kan Muhammed Enes , Mert Eda
Published: March 2024

Genellikle 2000 yılından sonra doğanları ifade etmek için kullanılan Z kuşağı, bugün dünyanın %32’sinin oluşturmakta ve bu nüfusun önemli bir bölümü de üniversitelerde eğitim öğretimlerine devam etmektedir. Z kuşağı zamanının büyük bir çoğunluğunu eğitim kurumlarında geçirdiği için onlar hakkında en çok deneyimi olan kişiler bu kurumlarda görev yapan öğretmen, idareci ve diğer hizmet personelleridir. Geleceğe yön veren öğretmenler ve diğer öğretim elemanlarının gençleri nasıl algıladığı hem eğitim ve öğretimin kalitesini etkilemekte hem de gençlere karşı davranışlarını şekillendirmektedir. Söz konusu bu tablo, bu çalışmanın temel motivasyon kaynağı olmuş ve çalışmada üniversitelerde görev yapan öğretim elemanlarının Z kuşağı kavramına ilişkin algılarının metaforlar aracılığı ile tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Katılımcıların verdikleri cevaplar içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilerek 126 metafor, 10 farklı kategoride sınıflandırılmıştır. Katılımcıların Z kuşağını teknolojiyle alakalı metaforlar ile sıklıkla ifade ettiği ve katılımcıların geliştirdikleri metaforların “İçinde Büyüdüğü Çağa Uygun Teknolojik Bir Kuşak”, “Özgürlüğüne Düşkün, Kurallara Karşı ve Yenilikçi Bir Kuşak”, “Mevcut Durumu ve Gelecekteki Hali Belirsiz, Karmaşık, Sürprizlerle Dolu Bir Kuşak” kategorilerinde yoğunlaştığı görülmüştür. Z kuşağının olumlu yönlerine vurgu yapan metaforlar olmasına rağmen genellikle Z kuşağının belirsizliğine vurgu yapan, Z kuşağına karşı nötr yaklaşan veya Z kuşağını tamamen olumsuz metaforlarla açıklayan öğretim elemanlarının daha fazla olduğu ve öğretim elamanlarının yaşları ilerledikçe Z kuşağından geleceğe yönelik ümit ve beklentilerinin azaldığı tespit edilmiştir.
Debating Darwin, o el combate entre las dos culturas: reflexiones sobre un malestar en la historia de las ideas
Authors: Jiménez-Pazos Bárbara
Published: March 2024

Este artículo rastrea los orígenes del choque de ideas que vertebra el debate que Michael Ruse y Robert J. Richards llevan a cabo en Debating Darwin. En esta obra, los autores discuten sobre el contexto sociocultural que alimentó la teoría de la evolución de Charles Darwin para reconocer las similitudes conceptuales que comparte con dicotomías clásicas sobre las formas humanística o científica de percibir e interpretar el mundo. El objetivo de este artículo es, pues, reflexionar, a la luz de las tesis del desencantamiento del mundo y de la incidencia del conocimiento científico en las imágenes del mundo, sobre la raíz de la que brota el malestar cultural que fundamenta estas formas duales de percepción y descripción del mundo en la historia de las ideas: la supuesta incapacidad de la concepción científica del mundo para satisfacer impulsos estético-existenciales básicos de la naturaleza humana.
TRICHODERMA AS A PROFICIENT BIOCONTROL AGENT FOR PHYTO-PATHOGENIC FUNGI – MECHANISM OF ACTION AND GENETIC ADVANCES

Published: March 2024

Plant disease management presently relies heavily on chemical fungicides.  However, their harmful impact on human and ecosystem, and development of  fungicide-resistant strains has emphasized on biological control as alternative  eco-friendly strategy for disease management and sustainable agriculture.  Trichoderma is a widely used as biocontrol agent against various phyto pathogenic fungi owing to its effective strategies to suppress plant pathogens.  The control phenomenon involves direct mechanisms like mycoparasitism,  secretion of hydrolytic enzymes which degrade the cell walls of pathogenic  fungi, and indirect mechanisms like competition for resources, induction of  plant defense mechanism and antibiosis. Trichoderma’s multifaceted approach  to biological control makes it environment-friendly option for managing plant  diseases. Recent biotechnological approaches have simplified the isolation and  characterization of efficient biocontrol agents, along with the identification of  their genetic by-products. These techniques facilitate the cloning of these  microbes in plants, with aim to bolster their resistance to both biotic and  abiotic stresses. Biotechnological advances have not only reinforced the  symbiotic interaction between microbes and plants but also allowed the  modification of processes through microbial biocontrol agents (MCBAs).  Genome sequencing of MBCAs has provided valuable insights into their  genetic makeup, aiding their characterization.

Cancer is a deadly disease that occurs in skin, pancreas, breast, and other body  
parts. Breast cancer is nowadays more common and can develop from various  
cell lines like MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, BT-20, etc. Early diagnosis and treatment  
can reduce the frequency of fatalities due to breast cancer, but early cancer  
screenings are often postponed due to erroneous information, fear, and  
ignorance. In the present work, we used molecular docking to find out the  
effect of solasodine binding on different cancer receptors. Solasodine was  
extracted from black nightshade (Solanum nigrum), a weed that was long used  
against stomach ache in Ayurveda. The isolated solasodine was even used in  
ointments against skin cancer. Docking such a medicinally potent compound  
resulted in positive response against a few receptors like Farnesoid X,  
epidermal growth factor receptor and progesterone receptor. MCF-7 breast  
cancer cell line was chosen for further ex-vivo studies and the results of MTT  
assay showed significant anti-cancer effects at solasodine concentrations of 500  
and 1000 µg mL-1. These findings indicated that Solasodine was a vital  
candidate as drug against breast cancer.

Published: March 2024

Tra le malattie dell’anziano vi sono quelle neurologiche come il Parkinson, l’Alzheimer e la Demenza senile. Questo studio analizzerà in modo prevalente il paziente con la patologia di Alzheimer in quanto comporta una gestione più complessa, in correlazione agli stati violenti, spesso verso il personale sanitario, che il paziente di Alzheimer può manifestare. Scopo di questo articolo e comprendere il differente modo d’interazione che un OSS può acquisire e produrre con il paziente nella relazione violenta attraverso un approccio bioenergetico tipico del Metodo Summa Aurea®. Riuscire a mitigare e anche a far scomparire le manifestazioni disfunzionali diviene fondamentale sia per il benessere dell’Operatore Socio Sanitario sia per il paziente. Comprendere inoltre come ridurre il proprio stato di stress, conseguenza del carico relazionale e di responsabilità, è un ulteriore elemento informativo di questa pubblicazione
Use of dehydrated sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) in rabbit feeding. 2 - Effects of a high dietary incorporation on performance and health of does and growing rabbits, under a sub-optimal breeding commercial environment

Published: March 2024

The effects of a high dietary (26%) incorporation of dehydrated sainfoin (DS) (Perly cultivar) on the performance and health of reproductive does and growing rabbits were analysed in a sub-optimal professional breeding environment (presenting previous coccidiosis), and over two non-consecutive reproductive cycles (2 replicates). Performance and health of does and growing rabbits were compared for 2 groups of 194 does and associated litters, when fed isonutritive feeds containing either 0 or 26% DS (DS0 and DS26 groups). Dietary DS incorporation had no effect on doe live weight, fertility rate, mortality, culling rate and doe coccidia excretion levels (P>0.05). In replicate 1, kit growth before weaning was similar among the two groups, but was 12% lower for the DS26 group in the 2nd replicate (significant interaction). Similarly, a significant interaction was detected between the effect of the diet and the replicate for the mortality rate of kits before weaning, i.e. a higher mortality was detected for DS26 (3.3 vs. 1.8%) in replicate 1, while in replicate 2 it was lower (2.1 vs. 4.4%). After weaning, the post-weaning growth rate was improved by 4% (P=0.02) for the DS26 group, while the mortality rate decreased (7.1 vs. 4.5%, P<0.001). Coccidia excretions of growing rabbits were not affected by dietary sainfoin or by replicates. A high incorporation of DS (26%) should be recommended after weaning to improve the performance of growing rabbits without impact on reproducing does.

Published: March 2024

A avaliação de programas e projetos centrada em especialistas aparece no âmbito das avaliações a partir do século XIX pela necessidade de institucionalizar a acreditação dos processos educativos e regulamentar a qualidade das instituições. Fundamentado nessa argumentação, este artigo, de abordagem qualitativa, tem como objetivo apresentar a avaliação de especialistas em educação do Ceará e do Piauí, acerca dos sistemas de avaliação em larga escala – Spaece e Saepi. Os dados foram obtidos mediante aplicação de questionário disponibilizado via Google Forms e a análise realizada com uso de estatística descritiva e inferencial. Como conclusão, constata-se que as percepções dos especialistas dos dois estados divergem em alguns aspectos, especialmente no que diz respeito à utilização e ao grau de interferência de fatores internos e externos à escola nos resultados da avaliação em larga escala. Esse fato pode estar associado à configuração de cada modelo de avaliação e ao perfil dos especialistas consultados.
