Authors: Olenicz Magdalena , Niewęgłowska Magdalena
Published: April 2024

Vitiligo is a skin disease characterized by loss of skin pigmentation, visible in the form of bright white patches distributed on the surface of the body. It can be congenital (hereditary) or acquired. The aim of this study was to assess the self-esteem of people with acquired vitiligo. The study was based on an anonymous questionnaire completed by 195 participants. The majority of the respondents indicated that the placement of the skin abnormalities was a cosmetic concern, and that vitiligo affected their self-acceptance and contributed to their diminished emotional state. In their opinion, stress of daily life can influence the appearance of new vitiligo lesions or increase of already existing skin discoloration. Although vitiligo brings many challenges for the majority of respondents, they maintain that it has a minimal impact on their overall quality of life.

Ta‘āruf and Its Relevance to Interreligious Dialogue
Authors: Maulana Abdullah Muslich Rizal
Published: April 2024

This article discusses interreligious dialogue as expressed in the Qur’ān, namely al-Ḥujurāt (49) verse 13. Expressed with the term “ta‘āruf” (to know one another), this concept can be interpreted as a foundation for modern interreligious discourse, promoting peaceful coexistence and harmony within the Islamic worldview. In this case, the worldview approach serves as a semantic framework to reconstruct conceptual meaning embedded in the Qur’ānic verse, delivering the reader a deeper apprehension of how Muslims should engage with other religions. This article concludes that ta‘āruf conveyed the message of interreligious dialogue in Islam built on interrelated conceptions of words based on the root ‘a-r-f, resulting in three primary reflections: first, the Qur’ānic verse demands Muslims and all of humanity to carry out dialogue; second, the verse hints that proper knowledge and piety are required before commencing the dialogue, denoting theological and epistemological needs for an interfaith conversation; and third, the verse acknowledges the nature of human creation in diverse social and cultural backgrounds, signifying the foundation of Islamic ethics (akhlāq), which is essential to dialogue.
Shu‘bah ‘an ‘Āṣim - Lexical Parsing
Authors: Lone Haroon Rashid , Muhammad Salama
Published: April 2024

This study sheds light on the lesser-known fact that the Qur’ān was revealed in seven aḥruf (letters), with the wisdom to accommodate the diverse dialects of the contemporary Arab tribes. The detailed preservation of these recitations through a chain of reciters traced back to the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be on him) emphasizes their enduring importance. In this research work, we categorize the words with differences into the Seven Arabic Language Aspects framework for the riwāyah (narration) of Shu‘bah ‘an ‘Āṣim. During the process of corpus development, we focus on preserving the ‘Uthmānī Muṣḥaf syntax during Arabic text modifications, utilizing calculated token count and root word count fields to address subsequent occurrences of each word in the Qur’ān systematically. This research also introduces a distinct approach by categorizing variations according to Seven Arabic Language Aspects rather than the conventional method found in qirā’āt literature, which typically focuses on emphasizing differences in ḥarakāt (vowel sounds) and letters when contrasting with the riwāyah of Ḥafṣ. This provides a deeper understanding of the reasons behind such changes, including shifts in meaning or morphological forms. Additionally, this methodology enables the quantification of specific words, facilitating targeted practice by identifying verses where particular linguistic features appear most frequently.

Published: April 2024

Background:
While many researchers have investigated the influence of COVID-19 on fatigue and quality of life, its impact on exercise capacity has been little considered. It is therefore our aim to examine the impact of COVID-19 on exercise capacity and fatigue among individuals who have recovered from the virus.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient physical therapy department of a tertiary hospital and Primary health care center. The study comprised 116 participants divided into two groups: a normative group composed of individuals who had not been infected with COVID-19 in the past three months, and a control group consisting of those who had contracted COVID-19 within the preceding three months. The one-minute sit-to-stand test (1STST) was carried out to assess exercise capacity, following which fatigue was measured using the validated Arabic version of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS).
Results:
Of the 116 participants enrolled in this study, 76 (65.5%) were in the normative group and 40 (34.5%) in the control group. Following the intervention, the mean FSS score differed significantly between the normative (26.6; SD 10.9) and the control group (36.9; SD 14.8); p-value < 0.001, with participants in the control group reporting higher levels of weariness than those in the normative group. Moreover, as measured by 1STST, the median number of sit-to-stand repetitions completed by participants in the normative group (21.0) was considerably greater than that of the control group (20.0); p-value = 0.025.
Conclusion:
Participants in the control group reported higher levels of fatigue and demonstrated lower exercise capacity than those in the normative group.

FEATURES OF THE USE OF INTEGRATED INTERDISCIPLINARY RELATIONS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE LESSONS IN THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL
Authors: YATSYNA S. M. , KYSIL T. O.
Published: April 2024

The article focuses on a current scientific problem caused by changes in the theoretical and practical approach to education of younger schoolchildren. The leading ideas of the research are determined by the methodological potential that affects the formation of key and subject competencies in primary school pupils. In the process of implementing all the content lines of the subject “Literary reading”, in addition to mastering important competences, pupils of junior grades gain some experience of applying them in various types of educational and cognitive activities, individual practical experience. Since primary school teachers are multi-subjects, the reality of implementing the innovative technology of integrated learning will be successful. The article focuses on the implementation of integrated relationships, because practicing teachers often apply the convergence combining certain materials from the lessons of the Ukrainian language, literary reading, visual arts, natural science, mathematics. Since the combination of information from several subjects contributes to the activation of children’s cognitive activity, the mastery of a significant amount of educational material, the achievement of the integrity of knowledge and, most importantly, stimulates interest in learning and a sense of connection with life, this allows the primary school teacher to expand the interdisciplinary relationships of the subjects being studied by younger schoolchildren. The importance of education content and form integration is emphasized by A. Aleksiuk, O. Biliayev, I. Bolshakova, L. Varzatska, T. Donchenko, M. Danylov, Yu. Koliagin, V. Palamarchuk, O. Savchenko, N. Svetlovska, G. Selevko, O. Marynovska, M. Fitsula and others. However, expanding the content of interdisciplinary relationships and integration of learning serves to study new components of the researched topic. The article emphasizes that modern scientists propose to distinguish the interpretation of the concepts of “integrated learning” and “interdisciplinary relationships” that until recently, were interpreted as similar phenomena in the scientific literature. Following O. Savchenko, it was asserted that the content of lessons using integrated learning differs from lessons with interdisciplinary relationships since these are different didactic concepts. The peculiarity of integrated lessons is that they can be conducted on the basis of intra-subject, inter-subject and inter-system integration: combined two-, three-, foursubject, lesson-excursion, lesson-travel, lesson-immersion, lesson-hike, etc. Such lessons often serve as a continuation of the parallel study of related subjects within one lesson. On the basis of the defined theoretical foundations, various options for the use of integrated and interdisciplinary relationships in native language lessons at the New Ukrainian School were proposed.
Using storytelling to guide L2 pronunciation development
Authors: Baker Amanda
Published: April 2024

Storytelling is a central component of human communication and relationship building. For thousands of years, stories have been used to inspire and educate, to pass on knowledge to the next generation, to share personal passions and life histories and to make meaningful connections with others. Developing the ability to tell one’s story is clearly important, but in a second language (L2), achieving this aim can be quite challenging. This is especially true if problematic pronunciation gets in the way.

What personal stories does the L2 learner wish to share? What kind of connections do they wish to make with other people? This is the starting point. The L2 learner’s own stories, told first in the learner’s L1, become the platform for pronunciation instruction. This talk will discuss five keys to developing clear and fluent pronunciation (based on Baker, 2021), using storytelling as the vehicle for not only this development, but for the development of learners’ overall speaking competence and willingness to communicate as well.

Published: April 2024

The use of modifying additives in cement concrete compositions is the most affordable way to improve their technological, physical, and mechanical properties. However, the high cost and territorial limitation of the most effective modifiers (microsilica, metakaolin) production do not meet the growing customer’s demand. The development of mineral additives based on local raw materials will bridge deficit the most common additives, as well as reduce the consumption of Portland cement. The paper presents the results of determining the fracture toughness (crack growth resistance) of fine-grained concretes obtained from self-compacting concrete mixtures modified with thermally activated clay (Nikitskoye deposit, Saransk, Republic of Mordovia) and thermally activated mixture of clay and limestone (Atemar village, Republic of Mordovia). The paper contains the assessment of crack resistance of fine-grained concretes conducted in accordance with GOST 29167-2021 during equilibrium bending tests of type I samples. The paper found a 9 38% increase in fracture toughness of modified fine-grained concretes with increasing binder consumption due to the introduction of mineral additives in the composition under study

Authors: Loginova Svetlana
Published: April 2024

The article points out the lack of radically effective worldwide methods of anti-biocorrosion protection. The author considers the role of microorganisms on concrete corrosion, describes the mechanisms of biological effect and biofilm formation on concrete surface. The article focuses on the determination of causes and peculiarities of cement concrete biocorrosion in conditions of high humidity. According to the author, biocorrosive impact reduces strength characteristics of concrete and causes its fast destruction. The author has revealed changes in structural-phase composition of concrete during surface biofouling. Although there are available methods to increase the bio-resistance of cement-based concretes, it is problematic to guarantee their preservation because bio-destructors have the ability to adapt to the work environment. The paper attempts to assess and predict the resistance of a building material in a biologically aggressive environment properly

The paper describes the distribution of polyacrylonitrile roving filaments lengths in terms of risk theory by the normal distribution law. We identify the optimal fiber length experimentally. However, it depends on the type of fibrous material, its optimal dosage as a percentage by weight of asphalt concrete mixture, and fiber density. Also research dwells on the statistical methods of identifying the standard deviation of the cut length of fibre filaments on special cutting equipment which provides the substantiation of the law of distribution of fibre filament lengths. The results ensure the risk assessments and reliability of reinforcement of asphalt concrete mixture with polyacrylonitrile fiber. Moreover, according to the research, density of polyacrylonitrile fiber filaments affects the spread of the distribution law of the lengths of the filaments as follows: the higher the density, the lower the standard deviation of the cut fibre lengths; the denser the polyacrylonitrile fibre filaments, the lower the variability of the cut filament lengths.
Thermal conductivity coefficient determination of wooden glued structures taking into account macrostructure and wood density
Authors: Titunin Andrey
Published: April 2024

The paper considers calculated and experimental methods of determining the thermal conductivity coefficient of wooden glued structures. The author shows that when designing the thermal protection of building enclosure structures in the form of CLT-panels or wooden glued laminated timber, one uses reference data on the thermal conductivity coefficient for pine or spruce. In practice, the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient may be less than the reference value; as a consequence, the thickness of the building enclosing structures is overestimated. This is not reasonable in terms of material intensity of construction. When considering wood as an anisotropic material, the peculiarities of the macrostructure and differences in the density of individual layers, as well as the wood species, should be taken into account when determining the parameters of structures. Based on the physical description of the thermal conductivity process and the fundamental laws of heat and mass transfer, the author proposes that it is necessary to adjust the results of calculations to the actual values of the thermal conductivity coefficient of multilayer wooden glued structures. The paper presents the results of experimental determination of the thermal conductivity coefficient of pine and aspen wood using steady-state and unsteady heat flow methods. It is shown that, depending on the density and wood species, experimental values of the thermal conductivity coefficient from 0.102 to 0.115 W·m-1∙K-1 can be obtained.

TikTok, a popular short-form video platform, has evolved into a versatile communication tool with potential applications in education. Examining the various multimodal components present in TikTok videos can offer valuable insights for vocabulary acquisition. TikTok combines multiple modes (multimodal), like visuals, text, audio, and movement, to engage users. Understanding the synergy between these modes on TikTok, in conveying meaning and maintaining engagement, could inform more effective vocabulary teaching methods. This paper delves into the examination of two frameworks for analysing multimodal elements in pedagogical materials. The first framework discussed is Serafini's (2010), while the second is Machin and Mayr's (2012). The findings suggest that a key distinction lies in Serafini's narrow focus on pedagogy compared to Machin and Mayr's broader approach, which scrutinises the construction of meaning. The study concludes that Serafini's framework is most appropriate for analysing multimodal elements in pedagogical materials as it directly addresses the learning objectives in student learning. The results of this study hold implications for students, educators, and educational establishments.

Published: April 2024

This editorial will focus on tumor immunity and the factors that alter the tumor immune micro-environment. The role of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) will also be discussed in detail, including the types, mechanism of action, and role. Gastric cancer (GC) often presents in the advanced stage and has various factors predicting the outcomes. The interplay of these factors and their correlation with the TILs is discussed. A literature review revealed high intra-tumoral TILs associated with higher grade, HER2-, and Helicobacter pylori negativity. Moreover, stromal (ST) TILs correlated with lower grade and lesser recurrence risk in GC. High TILs in ST and invasive border also correlated with mismatch repair deficiency status. Further characterization of the CD3+, CD8+, and other cells is also warranted. In the future, this complex correlation of cancer cells with the immune system can be explored for therapeutic avenues.
Îsâgûcî Mantığa Giriş : İnceleme – Çeviri - Tahkik
Authors: Esîrüddin el Ebherî
Published: April 2024

Esîrüddîn Ebherî is an important thinker whose works were taught as textbooks for centuries in many parts of the Islamic world, especially in Seljuk and Ottoman madrasas. Although he wrote numerous works in many fields ranging from phi- losophy to mathematics, astronomy to logic, Ebherî was most famous for his works Hidāyat al-Hikma and Esagoge and was recognized as a logician. Esagoge, which attracted great attention and interest both in the Islamic world and in the West because it was one of the first books of logic taught in madrasas for centuries and even until recent times, was published in Rûmiye in 1625 by T. Nofarinsis with its Latin translation and later translated into English and Turkish. Because of its similarity in name to Porphyries’ and his widespread fame, there has been various speculation about both the name and the nature of Ebherî’s Esagoge. Some have argued that it is a summary (muhtasar), some a revision, and some a commentary or tafsīr of Porphyries’ Esagoge. Even if it is thought that Ebherî may have been inspired by Porhyries’ work, albeit indirectly, in writing the work in ques- tion and determining its title, it is not possible to say that it is a revision, quotation, or commentary of his work.

Breaking The Shadowy World Of Courtesans: Women, Myth, Music In Kavita Kane’s Menaka’s Choice
Authors: Chandran Sarika , Devi Dr. S Rema
Published: April 2024

Mythologies are primarily male-centered stories representing, upholding, and idealizing patriarchal norms and aspirations. Patriarchy regulates and controls women's sexuality through mythological stories. Females are frequently treated as property to be transferred or enjoyed by men. The objectification of women's bodies is a recurrent issue in mythologies throughout the world, including India. In Indian mythology, Apsaras, the eternal seductresses of Indra's court, are clear references to female objectification. Apsaras, despite their greater importance and might, are mentioned only as passing characters in Indian mythology. They were never allowed to speak on the main platform and tell their story. However, in her novel Menaka's Choice, Indian-English novelist Kavita Kane breaks this tradition by projecting the most beautiful and brilliant apsara of Indralok, Menaka as the protagonist.

Budget management, academic services, and implementation of teacher professional education are important points in teacher education and training activities. The purpose of this study was to determine budget management in terms of the level of ease of managing the teacher professional education (TPEP/PPG) budget, academic services with indicators of reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy, and learning outcomes. A qualitative approach is used in this research method. Sources of research data were obtained from 12 PPG managers and 10 academic staff at four higher education institutions of the Ministry of Religion in Indonesia. Questionnaires and in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The study's findings show that budget management originating from state and regional government budgets does not pose many challenges because technical guidelines for budget use are already in place, and their implementation is monitored and evaluated by the ministries of technology, research, and higher education, as well as religion. Academic services are well-implemented, and learning outcomes are favorable, with a graduation rate of 80%.
