„Człowiek gór” — od epickiej deskrypcji do ekspresji samoświadomości
Authors: Ługowska Jolanta
Published: July 2023

The term ‘man of the mountains’ appears in various cultural discourses basically in two contexts, referring either to the situation of people born in the mountains, living near the mountains, and whose their daily lives are connected to the mountains, or to people fascinated by the mountains, for whom mountain peaks and their own attitude towards them are the subject of verbalised reflection, often of a philosophical, axiological, and aesthetic nature. In the first case, one simply is a man of the mountains (permanently, due to the circumstances), while in the second case, one becomes such person, more or less consciously striving to achieve this status. The first situation is exemplified by literary works and various descriptions of journeys in which a highlander is treated as an integral, natural component of the landscape being described (such an image can be found in Stanisław Witkiewicz’s most famous work, Na przełęczy [On the Mountain Pass]). The second and chronologically later situation, on the other hand, is exemplified by specific testimonies of representatives of the mountaineering community. They function in the form of own literary works (written by, among others, Reinhold Messner, Jernej (Nejc) Zaplotnik, Denis Urubko, Jerzy Kukuczka, and Marek Raganowicz) or in the form of interviews with famous climbers, which are very popular among readers interested in mountain-related issues (an interesting example of this is the book Rozmowy o Evereście [Talking about Everest], in which Jacek Żakowski interviews Krzysztof Wielicki and Leszek Cichy). These books include various themes and reflections, often of a personal nature. The authors often do not limit themselves to presenting their own achievements in the field of extreme Alpine and Himalayan mountaineering but also highlight the specific process of inner growth of the climber, their discovery of mountain secrets, their own place in the world, and their knowledge of themselves and their abilities and limitations. These reflections also often reveal the symbolic meanings of mountain climbing, which may turn out to be a metaphor for human existence.
CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS FOR CHINESE TEACHERS: A STUDY OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS
Authors:   Ph.D., Hillcrest Christian College, Victoria, Australia, Liu Wei
Published: July 2023

Critical thinking is a vital skill that promotes students’ learning, enhances their creativity to solve problems, encourages them to seek new strategies and develops their thinking to a higher level. However, students cannot develop critical thinking by themselves, they need teachers’ support and guidance. The aim of the research is to explore how Chinese mathematics teachers define critical thinking, and how their gender, teaching experiences and perceptions of critical thinking affect their mathematics class. Quantitative and qualitative methods were applied in the study. Data collected were analysed by deploying the statistics of mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s γ analysis at a 5% level of significance. Based on this paper, results revealed that gender and teaching experience are not significant variables but teaching experience and culture influence teachers’ confidence and behaviour while teaching critical thinking. This study provided opportunities for future research, particularly in the area of closing the gap in mathematics teachers’ perception of critical thinking between China and Western countries, and how to support students develop critical thinking skills in their daily learning.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Scientific communication in its new model of performance, openly enabling access to information, has contributed that society can resort to scientific production in an easier way, which has occurred due to its availability in open access journals and institutional repositories. In a scientific context, the retrieval of information provides access to intellectual production from the possibility of its search in retrieval systems. Objective: To analyze the information retrieval systems (IRS) based on the search tools of the Brazilian institutional repositories of theses and dissertations available in the BDTD and its databases, comparing them with the parameters established by IBICT. Methodology: Conducts bibliographic research on the theme and documentary research from access to the standards, guidelines, and manuals provided by IBICT.Results: It confirms that the institutions participating in the BDTD do not necessarily need to stick to the standards in a partial way established by IBICT, being necessary only that they assign to their repositories the mandatory metadata standards, along with the use of the OAI-PMH protocol and the use of XML technology so that the collection of data occurs for availability in the national BDTD portal. Conclusion: The information retrieval systems of the repositories have technological tools and specifications that confer navigation in the systems by the users, contributing to the best search experience and access to information relevant to their informational issues.
Future Perfect: Imagination and Ideology
Authors: Peterson II Victor
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this paper is not to detail what kinds of systems of belief there are or the capacity to discern between individual beliefs. It does not attempt to demonstrate the character of belief. My hope is to disclose a mechanism whose function details the operation that articulates concepts whose content are expressed by the function of our beliefs. I propose a theory of imagination based on a generative recursive and creative capacity. What I am interested in are the possible realities that can be mapped out by virtue of the models of consequence derived from the employment of belief systems. I intend to do this by illustrating a means of these systems’ construction and deployment. Imagination becomes an expression of possibility by way of a modal operation characterized by the functional-content of our propositions regarding the world. Ideology, then, will be considered a system that dictates the necessity of beliefs prior to ascertaining their possibility and before their assertion.

Published: July 2023

The complex of polyacrylic and polyurethane films physical and mechanical properties and the operational properties of leather decorated with them has been studied. The polyacrylate and polyurethane protective coatings formation is performed on the grain face of the semi-finished leather.

150–200 µm thick films are formed from the polymer solutions and aqueous dispersions. Acrylic films are obtained from a dispersion of methylbutylacrylate and a dispersion modified by acrylic lcarboxyethanolamine of kerosene-gas-oil fraction natural naphthenic acids. Polyurethane films are formed by the method of condensation structure formation in the presence of water vapor based on 4,4’-diphenylmethanediisocyanate, polyethylene glycol and polyester. Polyacrylurethane films are obtained from an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane and acrylate Lepton SPC.

The coating is applied to the semi-finished leather by watering and spraying the polymer composition. The complex of physical-mechanical and sorption-diffusion properties of polymer films has been studied. It was found that the films obtained from the polyacrylurethane composition outperform polyurethane and polyacrylic by 1.9 and 6.7 times, respectively. Modification of the polyurethane composition with a polyacrylic polymer makes it possible to obtain films with higher sorption-diffusion properties.

Polyurethane coated leather is superior to polyacrylic in the complex of physical and mechanical parameters, in particular in terms of adhesive strength in 3.4-4.4 times, and polyacrylurethane coated leather - in 5 times. Such leather has the highest sorbino-diffusion capacity, which is 1.4 times higher in vapor permeability compared to skins with polyacrylic coating. The acrylurethane polymer-based composition is promising formation of eco-coatings based on them in the technology of manufacturing leather materials. The studied polymeric film formers can be used for the formation of various kind protective coatings on a wide range of semi-finished leather products.

Authors:   Office of Chief Prosecutor, Victim Protection and Assistance Manager, Kosovo, Kastrati Basri , Pavleski Aleksandar ,   Faculty of Philosophy, Institute for Security, Defence and Peace
Published: July 2023

Contemporary security risks and threats initiate a new thinking about security and a new thinking about the content of the security agenda. The world is confronting both, by traditional (military) and contemporary (nonmilitary) threats today, which must be prevented and defeated collectively, by applying a mutual set of traditional and new approaches and methods. Such a situation directly raises the dilemma about the essential thinking of security in today's modern world. Therefore, the paper analysis about these security aspects is divided into two main directions. Regarding the first one, the focus is on the evolutionary nature of the security and its changing perceptions and theoretic understandings in different contexts, while in the second one, the focus is on the contemporary understanding of security in today's modern world, especially through the prism of increasingly promoted concepts of the environmental security, food security, and energy security. Key words: risks, threats, environmental security, food security, energy security

Desa Olio, Kabupaten Kupang, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur merupakan salah satu wilayah di Indonesia yang memproduksi garam. Selama ini, produksi garam dilakukan secara konvensional di mana tambak garam secara horizontal digunakan sebagai media penguapan air laut. Akan tetapi, penggunaan tambak garam ini memiliki kelemahan, seperti produksi garam yang terbatas akibat pengaruh iklim dan membutuhkan waktu produksi yang lebih lama. Kegiatan pengabdian ini ditujukan untuk mengenalkan dan menerapkan teknologi 3D rope evaporator sebagai media penguapan air laut yang mampu memberikan hasil positif terhadap produksi garam. Penggunaan teknologi ini mampu meningkatkan laju penguapan sehingga jumlah garam yang diproduksi semakin banyak. Teknologi ini dibangun secara prototipe di lahan milik petani garam, kemudian diuji coba dan dievaluasi perfomansinya. Hasil uji coba tersebut kemudian disosialisasikan di mana 3D rope evaporator yang dibangun mampu mempercepat proses penguapan air laut dan mampu menghasilkan produk garam yang lebih halus dan lebih putih. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini jelas tidak hanya berhenti saat ini saja. Ke depannya, kegiatan ini akan dilanjutkan dengan fokus kegiatan yang berbeda di antaranya pendampingan dan konsultasi terkait tahap scale up teknologi, pemurnian garam, dan diversifikasi produk garam.

An Approach Towards Load Pattern Clustering on Smart Meter Data
Authors: Tylor Matthew
Published: July 2023

Life in the modern century is heavily reliant on an enormous amount of electricity consumption as technology has become the most integral part of daily life. In this context, smart grid systems play a pivotal role to maintain the uninterrupted power supply which needs to be monitored in a timely fashion to keep track of the electric consumers’ usage pattern. The smart meter is the one of smart applications of the smart grid that collects huge amounts of consumer load data on a daily basis which has become a focus for various researchers and analyzers to study load characterization. In this paper, an approach has been proposed to recognize the energy consumption patterns among diverse types of consumers ranging from residential to industrial levels. This approach is worth considering not only for load pattern recognition but also for involving customers in different events such as demand response or peak shaving. In such a way, this analytical mechanism certainly assists in reducing power wastage and saving costs. The proposed methodology is based on a two-fold clustering algorithm with the use of state-of-the-art technology, machine learning. The primary goal is to classify electric customers' data collected from smart meters. Then, analyzing the classified results with an aim to predict power consumption patterns for the customers in the future and making the right energy policy that will benefit both the grid operator and consumers as well.

Published: July 2023

Kenya’s construction industry is experiencing exponential growth in tandem with construction trends globally. With the growth experienced in the industry, there has been significant growth in the economy and a 50% contribution to the world’s landfill waste and pollution to the adjacent environment. Globally, the construction industry is among the largest consumers of natural resources and significant contributors to pollution. This has given rise to high pressure to adopt environmentally sensitive approaches in the construction industry to present a competitive advantage. It is, therefore, crucial to address the need for sustainability measures for Landscape Architecture projects to increase knowledge and awareness, create incentives geared towards supporting sustainable practices, and leverage legal instruments and policies. Green construction practices and strategies have positively impacted the environment and the Kenyan construction industry’s social and economic performance. However, there are several barriers to the adoption and improvement of monitoring and evaluation of sustainable practices, thus slowing down the industry in taking charge of sustainability.
Concept Analysis of Social Responsibility Based on Walker and Avant’s Method
Authors: Kim Jong Gun
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Social responsibility has been accepted as a core value of nursing profession, particularly in the area of health disparity, but it seems to be difficult to understand for what is meant by social responsibility. The purpose of this study was to explore ways to define the concept of social responsibility of nursing in order to understand the meaning of social responsibility in the field of nursing profession. Methods: The concept analysis process by Walker and Avant was used to clarify the meaning of social responsibility of nursing. Results: Defining attributes of social responsibility of nursing included praxis, as approach to strategizing for social and structural change of inequity, care for an oppressed group which is under social suffering caused by the privilege and power, and action for health policy change in social and political unequal contexts. The antecedents of social responsibility of nursing included reflectivities in identifying personal characteristics, taking seriously the perspective of other vulnerable population, recognizing social environmental status quo (‘fair or unfair’), developing competences in ethical and moral reasoning with social issues. Consequences of social responsibility of nursing were achieving social justice, as equal access to basic human health need in societal level, equal access to effective nursing practice delivery system and development of health promotion policy for world health administrative practices (“health for all”) in nursing. Conclusion: This study provides a guidance to direct future studies through the procedure of identifying conceptual attributes in the context of social responsibility of nursing. Future studies are suggested to develop instruments for social responsibility as well as development of educational programs to promote social responsibility competences in nursing students and nurses.

The European Union of Aquarium Curators (EUAC) includes 150 members and is an important association for the European public aquarium community. Since 2004, over one quarter of a million euros were awarded by the EUAC Conservation Fund to approximately 50 projects, which spanned across the globe. While projects varied greatly in content and scope, several achieved a significant impact in local populations and/or their focus species. This paper reports on results achieved by these conservation efforts and what improvements can be made, to ensure that the funding is indeed invested in conservation efforts per se.
Perhaps the most valid conclusion to be drawn from the list of projects covered in this work is the fact that, regardless of the outcome, as far as preservation of the species are concerned, local communities were actively engaged in a subject that would, otherwise, remain unknown to them. Additionally, these EUAC funded projects highlight how public aquarium activities reach far beyond the acrylic panels surrounding the tanks and indeed the walls of the institution, as they spread around the world and raise awareness within local communities to preserve biodiversity. These results further suggest that a future direction for EUAC, as well as the public aquaria it consists of, could – indeed should - include more strenuous lobbying with legislating bodies, to ensure more adequate – and stronger – in situ conservation measures. In conclusion, with so many doubts being raised by different movements about the existence of aquaria and zoos, it is important that the public is aware that it is their visit to see the ambassadors of different species of animals that supports the funding of many of these pilot projects that aim to preserve species in their natural environment.

In the face of persistent soil degradation in Benin due to poor agricultural practices, including excessive use of chemical fertilizers, there is an urgent need to seek solutions that integrate microorganisms of interest. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of combining three strains of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on maize production in northern Benin. The study involved 34 growers in Ouénou, Bagou, and Kokey. The experimental set-up consisted of three elementary plots with three treatments. Growth parameters were measured every 15 days, from the 15th to the 60th day after sowing, on ten plants per plot. Plant nutritional status, grain yield and mycorrhization were measured. Results showed that biostimulant + 50% NPK_Urea had similar positive effects on growth parameters to those induced by the application of 100% NPK_Urea. Gains of 30.25 to 36.35% were recorded in plant height at Kokey. On the other hand, biostimulant+ 50% NPK_Urea induced a better phosphorus uptake of 21.08 to 27.77%. In addition, the grain yield of mycorrhizal plants was 8.37% higher than that of plants receiving 100% NPK_Urea at Ouénou. These results show that this technology could be integrated into the agricultural system to promote sustainable maize growing in Benin.
Cell-Penetrating Peptides Uptake Pathways and Role in Drug Deliverywith Potentials for Gene Therapy and Vaccine Development

Since their discovery, cell-penetrating peptides have seen widespread use in the process of delivering cargo that is impossible to pass through the cell membrane. They have demonstrated highly good delivery for oligonucleotides, which makes cell-penetrating peptides an effective tool for gene therapy. In addition, they have shown very efficient delivery for other payloads. In order to cure a range of ailments, cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) have the ability to effectively deliver therapeutic molecules to target cells. Therefore, using them is essential to enhancing therapeutic vaccinations. Recent research has led to the discovery of a large number of cell-penetrating peptides, each of which has its own unique structure and set of underlying processes. Despite the fact that it is known that numerous routes are open for particles to be taken up, the majority of the methods by which these particles enter cells still need to be defined in more detail. It is a fact that cell-penetrating peptides may be absorbed either by direct translocation or through endocytosis; nevertheless, classifications of cell-penetrating peptides are not often associated to particular entry processes. In addition, it has been shown that CPPs not only have the potential to increase the cellular absorption of an antigen, but also the ability to assist in the passage of other biological barriers. The main aim of this study is to discuss the Cell-Penetrating Peptides Uptake Pathways and Role in Drug Delivery with Potentials for Gene Therapy and Vaccine Development. The present research covers the immunostimulatory characteristics of the multiple vaccine components delivered by various CPPs. Cell-penetrating peptide uptake pathways/mechanisms, CPPs as novel vectors for gene therapy, CPPs in vaccine development, antigen delivery for vaccine development, etc. were all discussed in this study.
