Hermeneutics and comparative pedagogy.Language as material and powerful tool for assigning meanings, understanding, and transforming information
Authors: Nowakowska-Siuta Renata
Published: September 2023

Language and the processes of understanding the meaning of the concepts we use are of particular interest to scholars of comparative pedagogy, intercultural pedagogy, and other fields dealing with intercultural communication processes. It is also evident that the methodology of comparative pedagogy must include considering the process of understanding, for it is not possible to describe the solutions used in education without understanding the strategies that had led to a certain state of affairs. The article discusses the issue of understanding the meanings of concepts as a necessary methodological procedure of comparative pedagogy. It provides examples of theoretical perspectives on the importance of language as a tool we use to communicate, store and transform information. The article also shows the link between culture and the vocabulary and pragmatics of language and the extra-linguistic possibilities of understanding meanings.
Pedagogical hermeneutics at the time of political transition in Poland
Authors: Śliwerski Bogusław
Published: September 2023

The author analyzed the scientific dissertations of Polish scholars for whom hermeneutics as a direction of contemporary philosophy, including the method of researching ideas, theoretical premises of education and upbringing, contributed to the development of contemporary pedagogical thought and methodological self-awareness. The qualitative research paradigm requires researchers to be competent in understanding and interpreting the phenomena they are interested in. The aim of this article is therefore to make educators aware of the need to see in the analyzed dissertations from the period of the totalitarian state the use of hidden hermeneutics by scientists as a result of the existing political censorship. The freedom to conduct scientific research, regained in Poland after 1989, contributed to the dynamic development of general pedagogy, the theory of education and comparative studies of pedagogical thought. At the same time, the author warns against escaping from the freedom of a part of the scientific community as a result of subordinating the political correctness to the interpretation of the theories studied or the results of empirical research.
SENSORIAL TECHNIQUES OF ODOUR MEASUREMENTS – A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ODOUR CONCENTRATION AND ODOUR INTENSITY FOR A SELECTED WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY
Authors: Pawnuk Marcin , Sówka Izabela , Naddeo Vincenzo
Published: September 2023

Sensory analyses are one of the most frequently used odour research methods that allowestablishing the most important odour characteristics, i.e. odour concentration and odourintensity, characterised by a high degree of interrelationship. During an11-month study odourconcentration and intensity were measured at selected mechanical-biological solid municipalwaste treatment plant at 35 measuring locations to assess the degree of correlation between thosetwo parameters. Commonly used Weber-Fechner law was applied to assess the correlation. Resultsindicate a high degree of correlation between odour concentration and intensity, for example, R2valued for two different approaches at 0.87, and 0.95, while Pearson’s r valued at 0.93, and 0.97.Following the results this proves that odour concentration and odour intensity could potentially beused interchangeably for odour assessment. However, applying Weber-Fechner law for predictionof odour concentration based on odour intensity measurements gives imprecise results. Suchapproach could be potentially applied when limited measurements of odour concentration areavailable as determination of odour intensity that could be performed even by Facility employees.

Currently, we are dealing with an increasing number of crisis situations. The Covid-19 pandemic,the crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border and the war in Ukraine are examples of very serious crisissituations that the Polish state must deal with. Optimal actions related to crisis response requireoptimization of actions in each phase of crisis management. The first two of them: preparationand prevention are of key importance for the functioning of crisis management entities and theentire environment in the response phase. However, the effort and resources expended at thisstage must be based on the principles of economy. The main purpose of the research, the results ofwhich are presented in the article, is the choice and critical evaluation of selected methods usefulin the implementation of the process related to the proper identification, analysis and assessmentof the risk of threats. The article presents a scientific solution to research problems: Which crisisthreats currently impose the greatest risk? Which methods can be used to identify, analyzeand assess these crisis threats? Which of these methods can make it possible to use the latesttechnological advances? How to adjust the pragmatics of conduct to effectively identify, analyzeand assess risks? The research process considers the latest technological achievements, includingartificial intelligence methods, the increase in computing power and its availability, as well as therequirements stemming from the current complexity of the political and economic and socialenvironment.

Published: September 2023

Present knowledge on bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) entry, morphogenesis and release in host cells is incomplete. This study reports the results of effect of drug cytochalasin D and nystatin on BVDV entry in bovine and ovine cells and effect of Brefeldin-A (BFA), on BVDV release in ovine cells. The bovine (MDBK) and ovine (SFT-R) cells were treated with various concentrations of cytochalasin D or nystatin before infection with BVDV and at 16 h post infection, the number of infected cells was determined by immunochemistry. The ovine cells were infected with BVDV before addition of different concentration of BFA at 8 h post infection and the supernatants at 24 hpi were subjected to RT-PCR or immunochemistry. The results showed that only a minor inhibitory effect was observed on the entry and infectivity of BVDV in both ovine and bovine cells even at highest concentration of cytochalasin D or nystatin. As revealed by RT-PCR and virus titration, BFA treatment inhibited the BVDV secretion in a dose-dependent manner with complete inhibition obtained by 2μg/ml of BFA. However, the intracellular virus particles in BFA treated cell pellet were infectious. Taken together, our results showed that entry of BVDV into bovine or ovine cells is not dependent on macropinocytosis or claveolae-mediated endocytosis and provided evidence of existence of a common mechanism of BVDV release in bovine and ovine cells.

Published: September 2023

Pregnancy involves interactions of numerous growth factors, proteins and hormones exerting their biological functions in cellular growth, migration, differentiation and signal transduction. FGF2, STAT5A and UTMP are important mediators of intra-cellular signals transduction and transcription functions during pregnancy. Mutations in these genes will eventually disrupt their biological functions leading to embryonic death. The present study was designed to analyze in silico the SNPs in buffalo FGF2, STAT5A and UTMP genes by homology modeling. In the present study genomic DNA was isolated from the blood of 75 adult female buffaloes which was subsequently used for the amplification of FGF2, STAT5A and UTMP gene specific regions. PCR products of 167 bp, 429 bp and 279 bp were obtained for specific FGF2, STAT5A and UTMP gene regions, respectively. Sequenced PCR products showed 96â€“97% similarity with bovine sequences on BLAST analysis for all the 3 gene segments. Sequence analysis showed 9, 3 and 9 distinct nucleotide differences in the regions of FGF2, STAT5A, UTMP genes, respectively. Furthermore, based on the nucleotide difference 3 variants for FGF2 and UTMP genes were deduced in comparison with the bovine sequence. Promotor region analysis of FGF2 and homology modeling of STAT5A and UTMP gene revealed modification in the protein structure arising due to the presence of nucleotide changes. In the present study single nucleotide polymorphism were deduced in FGF2, STAT5A and UTMP gene region of buffalo and homology modeling of the studied gene portions were carried out.

Published: September 2023

Uno de los intereses de la sociedad contemporánea es solventar las necesidades del ser humano en cuanto a relaciones sociales. Frente a esta necesidad, la escuela debe buscar el desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional (I.E), puesto que, parte del éxito en la vida se encuentra en la comprensión y control de emociones. En consecuencia, de las revisiones se encuentra que la Actividad Física es un mecanismo que permite al adolescente experimentar diferentes emociones y al mismo tiempo aprender a manejarlas. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar efectos de la actividad física y la inteligencia emocional en adolescentes mediante una revisión sistemática en los últimos 5 años. Es un estudio de revisión sistemática que empleó como principal motor de búsqueda las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect, Dialnet, Redalyc y Google académico mediante las directrices de la declaración PRISMA. La Actividad Física es un factor esencial para el desarrollo de dimensiones como el control, la reparación y la claridad emocional, sin embargo, resulta contraproducente para otras dimensiones donde el nivel es mucho más bajo. Conviene subrayar que la Actividad Física en grupo resulta fundamental, al igual que la reflexión con el docente sobre emociones que se generaron durante las actividades físicas.

Authors: Agi Precious , Lasisi Dr. Raimi
Published: September 2023

This study examined the impact of building mental strength on career development among youths. It is built on the rationale that youths need to build mental strength to be able to understand them and make the right career choices especially in the choice of courses they eventually study in school as a foundation for their career path in life. To achieve these four research questions and four objectives were raised to guide the study. The key indicators of lack of mental strength (stress, fear and pressure etc.) were identified and measured against those of career development. The indicators identified further informed the research questions and the objectives of the study. Two theories were adopted, and they are; social cognitive theory of Albert Abandura and John Lewis Holland theory of career and vocational choice theory, these aided the theoretical focus for the study. A sample of 400 questionnaire respondents was determined using the Taro Yamane formula and 22 key persons were purposively determined for interview. The study adopted the mixed method design and a multistage sampling approach to select the questionnaire respondents and interview participants. Following the mixed method design, the data collection techniques involved the use of a self-designed questionnaire to gather quantitative data and an interview guide to collect qualitative data from key persons. To analyze the data collected, simple percentages presented in tables were used for the quantitative data, while the thematic content analysis was deployed to analyze the qualitative data. Drawing from the analysis, the findings show that 56.2% of the participants strongly agreed that youths need to build mental strength, and 58.8% agreed that building mental strength can help to fight fear; which is one of the indictors of lack of mental strength based on the findings. Hence, the study recommends among others, that programs should be created to encourages mental strength building

This study examines the impact of stock market valuations on foreign direct investment in the Nigerian economy. This was aimed at ascertaining how the development of the Nigerian Stock Exchange has stimulate the inflow of foreign direct investment to Nigerian businesses. Historical data was collated and estimated employing the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) technique. The empirical results indicate that market capitalization and value of deals in the exchange exert a positive impact on foreign direct investment inflows to Nigeria. Although, further observations indicate that only stock market capitalization exert a statistically significant impact on foreign direct investment inflows to Nigeria. Furthermore, it emerged that all share index is negative and has a statistically valid impact on foreign direct investment inflows in Nigeria. On the basis of the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made: Government should consider the maintenance of prudent macroeconomic policies and also continue to create conducive environment to stimulate the flow of foreign direct investment; Also, there is need to increase citizens’ knowledge and awareness about participation in the stock market through conscious sensitization and education from schools to offices and places of worship.
Extraction of information from a cellular phone (mobile communication device) during investigative (search) actions
Authors: Kobets Mykola
Published: September 2023

The relevance of the study is substantiated by the need to develop a system for procedural registration of information (statements) withdrawn from a mobile phone using hardware and software complexes, the content of which proves the involvement of a person in the commission of a criminal offence, since such a documentation mechanism has not been developed in practice. The purpose of the study was to highlight theoretical and applied approaches to the legal support of investigators’ actions to extract information from a mobile phone found at the incident scene. In accordance with the set goal and specifics of the subject of research, a set of the following methods was applied: formal logical, system and structural, hermeneutical, modelling, and generalisation. The study considers the actions of the investigator during the pre-trial investigation of criminal offences, when a cellular phone (mobile communication device) was found at the incident scene, which makes it necessary to use special knowledge. The profile and qualification of a specialist who needs to be involved in the inspection of a mobile phone are determined depending on the purpose and objectives of the investigative (search) action, established primary data on the nature of a criminal offense. A procedure for obtaining information (computer data) from a cellular phone (mobile communication device) is proposed, which provides for the creation of an “image”/electronic report of available information, which is recorded on a digital medium in the form of a file, fixed with an electronic label as a checksum. The practical value of the study lies in the procedural solution of the issue of extracting information (statements) from mobile phones, which is important during pre-trial investigation and documentation of digital information (computer data)

Published: September 2023

Improving crop productivity requires integrated management of soil fertility. This study aimed to assess the effects of tillage and the cropping system with soil amendment on the productivity of sorghum and cowpea. The experimental design was a completely randomized block with the treatments arranged in a split plot and three repetitions. Four tillage methods were allocated to the main plots and four cropping systems combined with four types of soil amendment were allocated to the sub plots. The results showed that ploughing and tied-ridging generated higher grain yields of sorghum than minimum tillage and manual zaï. The two cropping systems 1) 2 rows of sorghum alternated with 2 rows of semi-erect habit cowpea and 2) 1 or 2 row(s) of sorghum alternated with 1 or 2 row(s) of creeping habit cowpea in interaction with soil amendments generated higher grain yields for sorghum ranging from 895 to 1097 kg ha-1 and stover yields ranging from 1913 to 2370 kg ha-1 in the third year of study. Minimum tillage and ploughing proved to be more efficient in improving cowpea grain yields in the cropping system of 1 row of sorghum alternated with 1 row of creeping cowpea with soil amendment. These results show that tillage and crop association with soil amendments are likely to optimize agricultural productivity.

Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Malocclusion and TMD were believed to have a correlation when it is associated that the alteration of form might cause alteration in the stomatognathic system function. A multidisciplinary approach is particularly important for the successful treatment of chronic TMD cases. Management of TMD involves the work of dentists from various specialities. It is multifactorial in nature and requires proper examination and treatment planning. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to find out the awareness of TMDs among postgraduate students.
MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY:
The present study was retrospective in nature. A questionnaire involving TMDs was sent to all postgraduates involved in patient treatment through google forms. All participants were asked to anonymously answer the structured questionnaire containing multiple-choice and open-text questions in google forms. The questionnaire was specially developed for students and was organized into three sections.
RESULTS:
204 participants responded and returned the completed questionnaires. Results showed that 98 % of the respondent’s occlusal disturbance causes TMD and TMJ problems are associated with malocclusion. The majority of the participants were aware of the aetiology and diagnosis but only 53% of them were aware of the treatment protocols.
CONCLUSION:
The causes and diagnosis domains of the questionnaire yielded a high degree of agreement while the treatment modalities were not known. Most of them were not aware of the treatment modalities reason being a lack of knowledge during the course of their undergraduate and postgraduate study.

Preliminary testing, namely the antibacterial screening test, active extract at a concentration of 0.5% against Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, and Salmonella thypi. The results of the antibacterial activity test using the TLC-Bioautography method using chloroform: methanol (7:1) as an eluent showed results with an Rf value of 0.89 which inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, and Salmonella thypi bacteria. While the results of testing the antibacterial activity using the Agar Diffusion method obtained the largest diameter of the inhibition zone at a concentration of 20% for Escherichia coli bacteria with an inhibition zone diameter of 12.15 mm, Shigella dysenteriae with an inhibition zone diameter of 11.72 mm, and Salmonella thypi with an inhibition zone diameter of 12.67 mm.
Forecasting Exchange Rates Comparison In The Presence Of Instabilities
Authors: I. Nemushungwa Azwifaneli
Published: September 2023

Exchange rate forecasting is an inherent approach in financial risk management, yet previous forecasting models were criticized for their poor predictive ability, mainly during periods of exceptional macroeconomic weaknesses. This is attributed to their failure to identify the importance and strength of key transmission and amplification channels, especially those linked to financial markets and uncertainty. Though there is no model that can be precise, especially during periods of crises, it is important to find a model that can yield near-accurate results. The present study therefore evaluates the different forecasting models, considering how each handles instabilities. The Rossi Sekhposyan forecast rationality test results reveal that the EGARCH model under general error distribution and APARCH under normal error distribution show the strongest evidence against rationality around the year 2009, identifying the concentration of instabilities during that time. This vindicates the need to control for instabilities in forecasting. This implies that, in the presence of instabilities, the fluctuation tests are more powerful than traditional tests.

Published: September 2023

West Nile virus (WNV) is an arbovirus whose more severe, neurologic symptoms may include seizures, paralysis, or coma. Despite a variety of possible symptoms, most people do not realize they are infected with the virus with a majority of those infected not developing any symptoms. Members of the population aged 65 and older naturally experience reduced immunity to viruses as they get older. Exposure to West Nile virus can occur around one’s home, in a park, natural area, alongside a source of water, or even walking along a trail. Areas exist around town that present risks of being infected or encountering large numbers of mosquitoes, which may present future infectious risk.

The tiger (Panthera Tigris) has been on the ICUN red list of endangered species since 1972. In the early 20th century, 100,000 wild tigers roamed Asia and today approximately 3,600 remain. India is home to over half of the remaining wild tigers and continues to struggle in creating effective conservation plans. Poaching, habitat destruction and prey depletion are several primary causes of tiger population degradation and remain major barriers to rejuvenation of healthy populations in the wild. Wildlife corridors are essential to the process of repairing fragmented habitats. Through the use of GIS and remote sensing this research has located a wildlife corridor which has potential to connect several existing wild tiger habitats which would assist in conservation.
Habitat Selection of Wolverines: A Geospatial Analysis of Wolverine Movements in Southwest Montana

Published: September 2023

Wolverine research in the contiguous United States is not abundant and understanding of the ecology of this species is not fully understood in this ecosystem. Specifically lacking in research is data regarding wolverine movements. This paucity of data and analysis inhibits the ability to effectively develop and implement conservation and management strategies. This paper seeks to identify patterns and habitat preferences of wolverines with respect to their movements. Specifically, do they avoid roads and clear-cuts zones from timber harvest and do they display a preference to topography features during movements? Using GPS locations of wolverines a regression analysis was applied. We found that roads, clear cuts, slope or aspect do not influence wolverine movements in this study area.

Published: September 2023

The policy frame reveals that the General Insurance Corporation (GIC) in India during the pre-reform period was well-directed to achieve national planning and development objectives. Analyzing the performance of the GIC, including the progress of four subsidiaries, is essential to highlight achievements and business trends between 1973 and 1999-2000. The analysis should focus on trends in paid-up capital, gross premium, net premium, underwriting profits, net profit, and investment income. In general insurance contracts, insurers indemnify the insured for losses caused by specified risks, charging a remuneration called premium. Premiums are received for one year and are renewed only if the contract is renewed. The Insurance Act 1938 requires insurers to provide separate figures for businesses mobilized in and out of India, indicating the volume of business undertaken by organizations
Purusarthas: The Value Paradigms of Human Life (The Bhagavat Gita Perspective)
Authors: Pramod Kumar Dash
Published: September 2023

In the context of human life, the Hindu scriptures have suggested four cardinal values of life, such as, dharma, artha, kāma, and moksa. These four cardinal values are called Purusārthas or the fundamental goals of human life. Human life is empirical and therefore, contextual.`Understanding values and `living with such values invite the dilemma in value paradigms because man lives through contextual contingencies. The dialectics of `dharma and adharma`, `artha and anartha`, `kāma and niskāma`, and `moksa and bandha` are to be understood in the context of ever-changing human life. In this paper, we shall discuss how the dilemma in value paradigms is resolved by the dialectical understanding of the apparent opposites in the context of practical human life. Dharma is a value paradigm (Purusārtha) and related to other Purusārthas such as artha, kāma, and moksa. In the schemata of Purusārtha, artha and kāma are empirical values and moksa is the trans-mundane value (Paramapurusārtha). When artha and kāma are regulated by dharma one attains the ultimate state of freedom which cannot be expressed through any empirical mode of experience.Dharma is discussed from several categories, such as dharma-artha, dharma-kāma, vastu-dharma, jaiva-dharma, mānava-dharma, āshrama-dharma, varna-dharma, swadharma, raja-dharma, prajā-dharma, guna-dharma, and so on, from an empirical standpoint.

In fact, women's discussion is contemporary thinking. Women's life has been the central theme of Hindi literature even in the initial period, but the fact is that in this either the life story of the woman remained in the center or her tragedy. In fact, women's awareness of their identity, self-consciousness and existence gradually developed in post-independence Hindi literature. Self-awareness, consciousness of one's rights and existence emerged as the main force of women's discussion.
