Authors: Atot Sugiri
Published: December 2023

This study is to learn about character education based on local wisdom, Wayang Sukuraga, through the cultivation of noble morality in primary school. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive method aimed at knowing the picture of character education on the basis of Wayang Sukuraga by cultivating the noble morals of students in elementary schools. Data collection was carried out with interview techniques, observations, and documentation studies. As for the results of this study, the strengthening of character education based on the phenomenon of Sukuraga through the cultivation of the noble morality of students in the school is very supportive both in student activities and school programs. This can be seen from the values contained in philanthropy, which support the formation of true human character. Because the philosophy is taken from the stories of everyday human life, Thus, the strengthening of character education based on this philosophy can be implemented by students in the practice of noble morals in school and outside school. This can be demonstrated by the vision, mission, and purpose of the school; character education strengthening programs with the integration of learning processes implemented in everyday life, integrated implementation in the intrakuricular, non-curricular, as well as extracurricular strategies of character strengthening education using methods of cultivation, uniformity, spontaneous activities, and student character successes that are more diligent in devotion.

Authors: Royet Thomas , Cece Valérian , Lentillon-Kaestner Vanessa , Vors Olivier
Published: December 2023

Les réflexions sur la manière d’intégrer l’éducation à la durabilité (ED) en éducation physique (EP) n’en sont qu’à leurs balbutiements. Pourtant, l’urgence de s’inscrire dans un modèle de société plus durable est grandissante. Quelle place peut tenir l’EP vis-à-vis de cet enjeu sociétal ? Cet article présentera les enjeux et principaux modèles scientifiques et institutionnels autour des questions de durabilité et la nécessité d’intégrer l’ED dans le parcours de formation de l’élève en EP. Nous présenterons un premier état des lieux des recherches existantes entre ED et EP et évoquerons par la suite des pistes d’intervention empiriques s’inscrivant dans un futur travail de doctorat.

Authors: Klima Helena , Burkhard Steven
Published: December 2023

Dans le cadre de notre mémoire professionnel à la Haute école pédagogique Vaud, nous avons cherché à savoir si l'offre de formation continue pour les enseignants d’éducation physique des établissements scolaires post-obligatoires du canton de Vaud répondait aux besoins du groupe cible (Burkhard & Klima, 2023). Sur la base d'un état des lieux de l'offre existante et d'une enquête auprès d'une vingtaine d'enseignants d'éducation physique de deux gymnases vaudois, nous avons pu recenser le nombre de cours suivis (2021-2022) et les motifs de participation, ainsi que mis en évidence certaines lacunes, notamment en matière de communication de l'offre. Malgré la petite taille de l'échantillon, l'étude nous a permis de dégager quelques pistes d'amélioration susceptibles d'augmenter le taux de participation aux cours de formation continue, qui est actuellement plutôt faible chez les enseignants d'EP par rapport aux professionnels suisses ayant le même niveau de formation (Office fédéral de la statistique, 2021).

Aim: Aging is associated with loss of muscle mass and strength. Low-Intensity Resistance Exercise with Moderate Blood-Flow Restriction (LIRE-BFR) improves these outcomes, but the long-term effect on arterial stiffness and safety in elderly people with low gait speed is unknown. Methods: This is a parallel, randomized controlled clinical study with 12 older adults (3 men; 9 women; 84.0 [76.0; 87.5] years old) who completed a 12-week training of traditional resistance exercise (TRE; n=6) or LIRE-BFR (n=6). All participants were evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks by carotid-femoral aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). Results: After 12 weeks of interventions, PWV decreased in TRE group (-2.9 [-8.1; 2.4] m/s) and increased slightly in LIRE-BFR group (1.1 [-3.2; 5.3] m/s) but no differences were observed between the groups (p=0.21 for group; Hedge’s g: 0.52). Mean blood pressure was similar between TRE (86.2 [81.8; 90.9] to 85.8 [76.5; 96.3] mmHg) and LIRE-BFR (92.4 [82.1; 103.9] to 85.5 [79.2; 92.4] mmHg, p=0.462 for interaction). Gait speed increased significantly after 12 weeks in both groups (p<0.001 for time) with no differences between them (p=0.693 for groups). Conclusions: Compared to TRE, LIRE-BFR increased PWV slightly, while gait speed increased similarly in both training modalities. Larger clinical trials including elderly people with low gait speed are needed to determine the clinical impact of these findings.
Hydrogen Bonding, Electron Transfer and Orbital Interactions between RDX and Al3O3-: Forces governing the initial encounter
Authors: AKIN FATMA AHU
Published: December 2023

As the first step in energy transfer from oxide passivated metal nanoparticles/surface defects to an energetic molecule for the controlled dissociation of the latter, the nature of the weak interactions between RDX and Al3O3- isomers are studied as a model system by DFT method with PBE0 functional and different basis sets (TZVP, Def2-TZVPP, TZ2P). Different electron density (NCI, IGMH, QTAIM, IQA, EDA-NOCV) and charge analysis methods (Hirshfeld, Mulliken, Hirshfeld-I, NPA) reveal that partial charge-transfer from Al3O3- to RDX via the C-H···O (1.851-2.481Å, O(2p)-to-C-H(*) type) and the C-H···Al (2.836-2.871Å, Al(3p)-to-C-H(*) type) interactions are possible. Hirshfeld analysis predicts 6-25% transfer of the -1 charge to RDX while Hirshfeld-I, NPA, and Mulliken predict 7-22%, 2-7%, and 7-13% transfer, respectively. Al3O3- (HOMO)-RDX (LUMO+n, n=0-3) type interactions including the charge transfer via the (ON)O···Al (2.846-3.511Å) interactions are found to excite the Al3O3 (kite) anion. The binding energies are in the -10 to -31 kcal/mol range. Vertical detachment energies of the complexes are within 2.5-3.9 eV, higher than the bare Al3O3- isomers by 0.3-1.3 eV. Complexation weakens the RDX structure and reduces the C-H stretching frequencies by 10-350 cm-1. Modulations in the bond lengths in the Al3O3 isomers shift the frequencies in the 0-1300 cm-1 region. New intermolecular vibrations enrich the terahertz region of the IR spectra. Complexation is found to augment the resultant dipole moment from 2.7 (Al3O3- (rec)) and 8.6 (Al3O3- (kite)) to the 2.9-16.0 Debye range, signalling effects on the workfunction of the aluminum oxide surfaces upon binding.

Authors: Osei, M. A. , Appiah N. A. , Adala C. E. , Asinyo B. K. , Howard E. K.
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aims to dissect the complex dynamics between globalisation, operational flexibility, and enterprise performance in Ghana's garment manufacturing sector.

Design/Methodology/Approach:  Employing a quantitative research design, the study analyses survey data collected from members of the Ghana National Dressmakers and Tailors Association (GNDTA) who are registered with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MoTI) database across major industrial cities: Accra, Kumasi, and Tamale. Two hundred and thirteen small and medium garment producers were sampled from the three ecological zones in Ghana by convenience and stratification.

Findings: The findings of the study revealed that globalisation significantly influences enterprise performance. Hence, operational flexibility did not influence performance. Additionally, operational flexibility did not explain the relationship between globalisation and enterprise performance.

 It can be concluded that fashion industries do not need operations to improve their performance, but rather globalisation to boost their performance in the fashion industry. It is recommended that fashion firms should focus more on globalisation to enhance their performance in the fashion industry.

Research limitation /Implication: This study focused on Globalisation, Operational flexibility, and Enterprise Performance.

Practical implication: It was discovered that there are practical implications of globalisation for Small and medium-sized garment enterprise practitioners and other small garment enterprises in developing countries.

Social implication: This study will assist policymakers in addressing globalisation's impact on Small and medium-sized garment enterprises considering that globalisation is a key factor in supporting the performance of enterprises' profitability and sustainability.

Originality/ Value: The inclusion of operational flexibility as a central driving force sets this study apart. Examining how globalization influences the ability of garment enterprises to adapt and be flexible in their operations contributes novel insights into the mechanisms that drive competitiveness in the global market.

Published: December 2023

Cancer is a major public health concern, impacting nearly 20 million people each year, and it is responsible for 1 in 6 deaths worldwide. The burden of cancer is increasing rapidly, straining health systems that are unable to prevent and manage the disease. Childhood cancer constitutes a significant and relevant public health challenge; it was the ninth leading cause of childhood disease globally, according to findings by the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study. Almost 80% of all children diagnosed with cancer live in low- and middle-income countries where treatment is often unavailable or unaffordable. As a result, only about 15–45% of these children survive compared with more than 80% in high-income countries. This represents a great health inequity.

Delivering on the mandate provided by World Health Assembly resolution 70.12, WHO together with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and other global partners launched the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer at the United Nations General Assembly during the third High-level Meeting on the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases in September 2018. The Initiative aims to increase global survival for children with cancer to at least 60% by 2030, while reducing suffering for all children with cancer. Five years after launching the Initiative, more than 70 countries across the World Health Organization’s 6 regions have advanced to different phases of action through implementation of the Initiative’s CureAll framework for action. Many successful approaches to implementing the CureAll pillars and enablers have demonstrated that improving care for children with cancer in low- and middle-income countries is possible as long as there is strong political will, multisectoral commitments and strategic investment.
Bringing About Industrial Democracy Within the Public Service - A Radical South Australian Response
Authors: Bentley Philip , Wang Kenneth
Published: December 2023

Nearly six years have passed since the Premier of South Australia appointed a Committee to examine and outline proposals for Worker Participation in the Public Sector. This Committee's conclusions and recommendations were presented to the Government in February 1973. Since then there have been several policy changes at the political level; numerous ventures into participation schemes; research studies on Joint Consultative Councils; and varying degrees of reaction from managers, trade unionists and employees. These are, of course, too numerous to be covered completely in this paper.

Sisters of Sparta: An Intersectional Approach to Depictions of Helen and Clytemnestra in Fifth-Century BCE Athens.
Authors:   , Jacobsen Brittany
Published: December 2023

This thesis uses an intersectional approach to understand Helen’s and Clytemnestra’s depictions in fifth-century BCE Athenian artforms. It investigates specifically the role that these women’s identities play in their depictions in vases and tragedy. By examining both vases and tragedy we can see whether the Athenians’ use of Helen’s and Clytemnestra’s identities varied depending on a form’s purpose.

The application of feminist theory in general to Classical Studies has only seen a rise in the last few decades. The use of intersectionality theory specifically has only become popular in the last decade. By using an intersectional approach, this thesis will shed more light on why the ancient Athenians chose to depict female mythological figures in their varying artforms as well as the significance of women’s different identities to this choice. In doing so, it will contribute to scholarship looking at intersectionality theory’s usefulness as an analytical tool to understand the ancient world and further illuminate our understanding of the use of ancient stereotypes surrounding gender. Moreover, given the cultural and historical construction of gender and its surrounding stereotypes, as well as the differing purposes of vase painters and playwrights, this thesis also contributes to the idea that retellings of myth reflect both their creators and their intended audiences.

This thesis is divided into two main parts; the first looks at Helen’s depictions on vases and then her depictions in tragedy, while the second looks at Clytemnestra’s depictions on vases and then her depictions in tragedy.

'Finding another Face inside my Face’: The Semiotics of Mime in Edgar Nkosi White's Racialized Dramaturgies”
Authors: Casado Gual Núria
Published: December 2023

According to Tadeusz Kowzan, facial mime may be regarded as the system of kinetic signs that is closest to verbal expression. At the same time, as Kowzan contends, mime constitutes —together with gesture— the most personal and individualized expressive mode in the theatre, submitted as it is to the performer’s physical, psychological and actoral idiosyncrasies. In the dramatic production of the Afro-Caribbean playwright Edgar Nkosi White, mimic expression plays a prominent role: indeed, a broad variety of facial inscriptions informs both the dialogues and stage directions of his plays. Even if the mimic signs devised by the author have differentiated functions and do not exist in isolation, complementing as they do other verbal and non-verbal signs, most of them expose the inner and external tensions underlying situations of racial oppression. Considering the double axis of eye- and mouth-expression that determines facial gesturality, this essay intends to analyze the mimic expressivity of Edgar Nkosi White’s characters and its specific contribution to the author’s theatricalization of the phenomenon of racialism. At a more general level, the mimic designs inscribed in Edgar Nkosi White’s plays will be shown to unveil the discourse of ambivalence that tinges the racialized body when this is portrayed and represented from the victim’s point of view.
The Interaction of Cannabis Consumption with Heavy Episodic Drinking and Alcohol-Induced Blackouts in Relation to Cannabis Use Consequences Among Recent Undergraduate College Cannabis Users
Authors: Guo Ying , Dai Chia-Liang , Ward Rose Marie , Mason W. Alex
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Risky alcohol use patterns, characterized by heavy episodic drinking (HED) and alcohol- induced blackout, are prevalent in college students. However, it is not clear if experiencing HED and blackout among college-attending cannabis users heightens risk for adverse cannabis use consequences. The purpose of this study was to examine whether heavy episodic drinking and blackout episodes moderate the relationship between cannabis consumption and cannabis use consequences among college students. Methods: Undergraduate college students (n = 4331) were recruited from a Midwest University in 2021. This analysis used a subset of data from past 6-month cannabis users (n= 772; 17.8% of the full sample). Among cannabis users, 64.5% identified as female and 87.8% were White with an average age of 19.99 (SD=2.88). A linear regression was conducted with two two-way interactions of cannabis consumption and HED frequency as well as cannabis consumption and alcohol-induced blackout episodes. Results: Results showed a statistically significant positive association between cannabis consumption and cannabis use consequences (B=0.73, p<.001), adjusting for the other variables in the model. Blackout, but not HED, was a significant moderator (B=0.19, p=.003). Discussion: The findings of this study indicate that blackout experiences amplify the relationship between cannabis use and cannabis-related consequences among college students. This underscores that blackouts not only signal a risk of problematic drinking but also exacerbate the association between cannabis use and its negative consequences. Conclusion: Findings may inform college campus interventions targeting cannabis and alcohol concurrent-users who experience alcohol-induced blackouts to reduce their additional risk for cannabis-related consequences.
Mitygacja i adaptacja – dynamika zmian i kontynuacja w systemie prawa ochrony środowiska
Authors: Baran Mariusz , Iwańska Barbara
Published: December 2023

Odpowiedź systemu prawnego na kryzys klimatyczny opiera się na dwóch podstawowych kierunkach działania (środkach) – mitygacji oraz adaptacji. Pojęcie mitygacji klimatycznej rozumieć można szeroko i odnieść je do całokształtu działań, które mają na celu ograniczanie antropogenicznych emisji gazów cieplarnianych oraz zwiększenie ich pochłaniania przez pochłaniacze. Termin „adaptacja”, pomimo że obecnie jest już szeroko stosowany w agendzie zmian klimatycznych, nie ma jednolitej definicji. Złożoność koncepcji adaptacji do zmian klimatu i terminologii wynika z bardzo wielu czynników (wzajemnie sprzężonych) – zróżnicowania potrzeb adaptacji czy zróżnicowania opcji i metod adaptacji – co przekłada się ma mozaikę możliwych rozwiązań adaptacyjnych. Z perspektywy polityki oraz prawa ochrony środowiska jako przedmiotu interwencji prawodawcy (jego źródeł, dynamiki rozwoju, otwartości i cech) mitygacja i adaptacja stanowią wyraźny przykład integracyjności polityki i prawa ochrony środowiska i ich pogranicza z innymi politykami oraz przedmiotami ingerencji prawodawcy. Dzieje się tak, ponieważ mitygacja i adaptacja jak w soczewce skupiają potrzebę integracyjności i przekrojowości neutralności klimatycznej jako celu polityki Unii i państw członkowskich w dziedzinie środowiska. Integracyjny wymiar mitygacji i adaptacji (zarówno w jej aspekcie zewnętrznym, jak i wewnętrznym), uzasadniający podejmowanie kompleksowych i spójnych działań w różnych obszarach, stanowi nie tylko przejaw kontynuacji zjawiska integracyjności i specjalizacji w obszarze prawa ochrony środowiska. Przekrojowy i różnorodny charakter działań przede wszystkim adaptacyjnych, podejmowanych na różnych płaszczyznach i sektorach oraz zróżnicowanie środków realizujących adaptacje wykorzystujących różne instrumenty i formy działania (także instrumenty prawne) nie uzasadnia wprawdzie ich wyłączenia z zakresu kategorii instrumentów (prawa) ochrony środowiska. Uzasadnia natomiast pytanie, czy w kontekście charakteru działań (instrumentów) adaptacyjnych oraz pojęcia ochrony środowiska rozumianego jako podjęcie lub zaniechanie działań umożliwiających zachowanie lub przywracanie równowagi przyrodniczej, które polegają w szczególności na racjonalnym kształtowaniu środowiska i gospodarowaniu zasobami środowiska zgodnie z zasadą zrównoważonego rozwoju, przeciwdziałaniu zanieczyszczeniom oraz przywracaniu elementów przyrodniczych do stanu właściwego, nie byłoby właściwe użycie pojęcia instrumentów „(prawa) zrównoważonego rozwoju”, co, wydaje się, lepiej oddawałoby istotę rzeczy.

Odpowiedzi na to pytanie należy szukać w charakterze zmian klimatu i istocie polityki i prawa ochrony klimatu. Tezą stawianą w tym opracowaniu jest twierdzenie, że w dobie narastającego kryzysu energetycznego rośnie znaczenie unijnego prawa ochrony klimatu w zakresie mobilizowania państw członkowskich do podejmowania odpowiednio ambitnych działań na rzecz ochrony klimatu. Pogłębiający się kryzys energetyczny wymaga nie tylko podejmowania działań o charakterze doraźnego wsparcia odbiorców wrażliwych. Zintensyfikowane muszą zostać działania mogące przynieść skutki długoterminowe, w tym zwiększenie odporności UE i państw członkowskich na negatywne skutki gospodarcze i społeczne, które mogą zostać wywołane przez przyszłe kryzysy energetyczne. Jednocześnie kryzys energetyczny powinien stanowić uzasadnienie do odpowiedniego doboru instrumentów wdrażania działań na rzecz ochrony klimatu, zwiększenia solidarności państw członkowskich w zakresie ponoszenia ciężarów realizacji działań zmierzających do ochrony wspólnego dobra (ochrony klimatu).

Increased production of sunflower oilseeds requires the use of yielding, adapted to the conditions of cultivation varieties and hybrids resistant to harmful pathogens of the growing area. A number of reasons contribute to the decline in crop resistance. One of them is the emergence of conditions for the development of not only new diseases, but also more aggressive races of already well-known pathogens. The most effective and environmentally friendly way to control crop diseases is to create sustainable breeding material. In this regard, in the conditions of the East Kazakhstan region studies were conducted to assess the resistance to false powdery mildew of the promising breeding material of sunflower created by the specialists of the East Kazakhstan Agricultural Experimental Station. Quantitative indices of affected plants and the intensity of sporoniferous lesions on seedlings were determined. Characterization of the degree of susceptibility of the tested samples on a 5-point scale was given. The results of the experiments confirmed the possibility of selection at different stages of the breeding work. The selected source material can be used as parental forms in the creation of new sunflower varieties and hybrids.

The results of studying the character of inheritance of valuable traits of the first-generation hybrids obtained from crossing foreign and domestic varieties of oats in the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals are presented. The experiment was conducted on the experimental field of the Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture for Northern Trans-Ural Region in 2019 and 2020. The object of the study were 18 F1 hybrid populations and 6 parent varieties: Talisman, Otrada, Foma, Sang, Solidor and Ensiler. Productivity elements were evaluated according to the methodology of the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources. B.A. Dospekhov's methodology was used for statistical data processing. Inheritance of phenotypic traits was determined according to G.M. Beil and R.E. Atkins. Analysis of the yield structure elements demonstrated the lack of advantage of foreign selection varieties over the genotypes obtained in the Northern Trans-Urals. It has been established that the Otrada variety is not inferior to Sang, Solidor and Ensiler varieties in terms of panicle ear grain content and the thousand-kernel weight, and Foma is superior to them. It has been determined that crosses between the varieties of local and foreign selection have a high percentage of success (42–68%), which makes them promising in the breeding process. It has been revealed that 50% of hybrid combinations are characterized by depression in the trait "plant height" – the degree of phenotypic dominance in this case varies from –22.2 to –3.1 units. Crossing of Foma with foreign varieties ensured overdominance in the panicle height, its grain content and the thousand-kernel weight. According to the degree of phenotypic dominance of the productivity elements, the following promising hybrid combinations have been identified: Ensiler × Otrada, Sang × Otrada, Foma × Sang. In the above combinations, selection of high-yielding genotypes can be carried out from the second generation onwards. It is recommended to select promising lines among hybrid combinations, where one of the parental forms is the Foma variety, in the later generations. Hybrids of the first generation obtained from crossing the Talisman variety with Ensiler, Sang and Solidor varieties have no advantages over the parental forms and are unpromising for the breeding process.

The effectiveness of pre-sowing treatment of soybean seeds and application of biorational insecticides in reducing the number of major pests of soybean in the conditions of the Primorsky Territory have been studied. The results of using insecticides and biopreparations to regulate the number of dominant pests of soybean have been presented. The studies were conducted in 2020 and 2021. The efficiency of insecticidal protectants Imidor Pro, SC (2 l/t) and Tabu, WSC (1.0 l/t), bioinsecticides Fitoverm, EC (0, 16 l/ha), Proclaim, WSG (0.3 kg/ha), Batsikol, L (15 l/ha), Biosleep BW, L (2 l/ha), Biosleep BT, P (2 kg/ha) against two-striped leaf beetle (Medythia nigrobilineatus Motsch.) and soybean pod borer (Leguminivora glycinivorella Mats.) were studied. Pre-sowing seed treatment with insecticides Imidor Pro and Tabu reduced damage of soybean plants in the sprouting phase by Medythia nigrobilineatus beetles compared to the control by 94.0–98.2%. Seed dressing with imidacloprid-based preparations provided effective protection of crops against the pest in the sprouting – branching phase. Biorational insecticides based on avermectin C and Bacillus thuringiensis showed high biological efficacy (71.1–98.8%) on the 5–10th day after treatment against the two-striped leaf beetle. Soybean seed damage when bioinsecticides were used against Leguminivora glycinivorella was 1.9–3.0% compared to 5.6% in the control. The conducted studies testify to the prospect of using the preparations of biological origin to control the number of dominant pests in soybean crops.

Enzyme immunoassay, being a more sensitive method, makes it possible to identify specific antibodies in samples of combined milk. The ELISA study of harvested milk in farms can become an important element in the system of anti-brucellosis measures regarding the control of the epizootic state in farms taking into account the availability and ease of implementation of this method. For screening express-diagnostics of bovine brucellosis the method of enzyme immunoassay with milk of cows has been developed. ELISA with milk serum is specific, sensitive, easy to formulate, account for and interpret the results. It has been found that the conditions of storage and transportation of milk samples corresponding to room temperature values and leading to fermentation do not affect the level of specific anti-viral immunoglobulins for eight days, and the question of the use of a cold chain during transportation of milk samples to be examined to the place of analysis can be withdrawn from the agenda. When working out the optimal sample preparation, the difference in the specific signal when setting the ELISA between the milk serum obtained by high-speed centrifugation and the milk serum obtained by fermentation for 24 hours was less than 10%. Therefore, high-speed centrifugation was chosen for the preparation of milk serum samples during the ELISA study. The possibilities of using ELISA with milk serum on vaccinated and non-vaccinated cattle against brucellosis have been studied. Milk and blood for testing in the ELISA should be taken 6 months or more after vaccination (within the instructional time frame). A high level of correlation was established between ELISA data with milk and ELISA data with blood serum, regardless of epizootic or immune status (satisfactory and unfavorable herds, vaccinated and unvaccinated animals), which amounted to 86.8–92.0%.
