Kokemuksen jäljillä
Authors: Launis Kati , Tikka Marko
Published: December 2023

Kokemuksen tutkiminen on kiehtovaa ja samalla äärimmäisen haastavaa. Kokemus elää, muuttuu ja vaihtelee yksilöstä toiseen eikä ole yhtenevä esimerkiksi sellaisten yhteiskunnallisten ryhmittymien kuin "työläisten" keskuudessa. Toisaalta voidaan todeta, että tutkimus paljossa on aikaisemminkin ollut sidoksissa kokemuksesta syntyneisiin aineistoihin. Muistelmien, haastattelujen, kyselytutkimusten ja joskus tilastojenkin takana on jonkun kokemus. Tutkija voi tilastonkin yhteyteen palauttaa kokemuksen aikalaislainauksin ja muistelmin, mutta samalla on syytä kysyä, mitä kokemus kertoo. Kenen tai keiden kokemuksesta on kulloinkin kyse?

Authors: Ali Amanda D. , Narine Lendel K.
Published: December 2023

With a limited body of literature examining residents’
preferences for Extension topic areas, this brief report examined the educational
interests of Utah residents. It explores opportunities for future programming based on
residents’ preferences for topic areas and their information-seeking behaviors. Data
were gathered from Utah residents in May 2021 via an online Qualtrics survey (n = 668).
Results showed the topics of highest interest to Utah residents were strengthening
family relationships, emergency preparedness, mental health, food storage, and healthy
couples’ relationships. Residents’ information-seeking behaviors were somewhat
consistent with their interests; residents searched most frequently for information on
mental health, strengthening family relationships, nutrition education, financial
planning, and healthy couples’ relationships. Extension organizations are encouraged to
learn more about residents’ interests and participation preferences to recruit and
retain participants, given changing societal trends.

Authors: Harmon Kasey , Ruth Taylor , Reiling Bryan , Conner Nathan , Stripling Christopher T
Published: December 2023

Professional development (PD) programs for science and
agriculture teachers designed around the inquiry-based learning (IBL) teaching strategy
could help to improve science proficiency amongst our high school students. PD that
continues over a longer period of time is more effective than short-term workshops. The
purpose of this study was to explore the impact of a prolonged PD program on teachers’
confidence in using IBL strategies for teaching animal sciences content. The following
research questions guided this study: RQ1: What were participants’ perceptions of a
prolonged PD program? and RQ2: How did the prolonged PD program influence the
participants’ confidence in using IBL? For this project, the teachers completed three
online modules focused on best practices for using IBL in the classroom and then
participated in a five-day in-person PD program that was offered in Tennessee and
Nebraska during June and July of 2022. Basic qualitative methodology was used, and four
focus groups were conducted. The following themes emerged: perceptions of the PD and
confidence in using IBL. Allowing teachers to work through the IBL activities as
students appeared to increase their confidence in using IBL to teach animal science
concepts in the future.
Impact of Climate Change in Physical Activity and Competitive Sports: Adaptive Measures and Evaluating Future Impacts in Arunachal Pradesh, India
Authors: Sinha Sandip , Mondal Tanmoy
Published: December 2023

The aim of this paper is to make a detailed study on climate change's impacts on physical activity and organized competitive sports with further attention paid to their adaptation efforts and evaluating the future impacts with special reference to Arunachal Pradesh, India. Linkages between climate and human activity cannot be ignored and it is a universal phenomenon and is certainly possible due to adaptations. These adaptations have direct linkage with physical, mental, emotional, social and overall wellbeing of human beings. Ignoring the degree of adaptation could impact the health upto severe consequences due to climate change. The relationship between sport and environment has to be examined to understand how environment and climatic parameters impacts sport in terms of training, performance and sports injuries. Arunachal Pradesh is a hub of youth potentials especially in sports. Looking at the present climatic crisis, the study aims to assess the impacts of climate change, and measures to be taken by organized competitive sport entities to adapt to the impacts. The study adopts a descriptive analysis including both qualitative and quantitative assessment by exploring secondary information. The findings of the study states that most of the outdoor sport activities especially endurance sports are strongly influenced by meteorological parameters. The effects of weather on sports are varied, performances can get reduced or improved, becomes very severe during extreme weather conditions leading to threat for life. If climate change progresses in scope and severity as predicted, no doubt physical activity and outdoor organized competitive sports is under threat. The valence of this paper lies in its conceptualization of the climate vulnerability on sport activities and its potential to inspire future research and interest in this domain. However, it is important for government, agencies, sports organizations, coaches, athletes, environmentalists, and health experts to have the tools to identify the risks and understand their vulnerabilities.

Authors: Ahiaku Philip Kwashi Atiso
Published: December 2023

The surging coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has impacted all spheres of the economy not sparing higher education in South Africa. The impact was felt by both staff and students not only on teaching and learning but also on their socio-economic, health and physical well-being. This paper sought to explore the experiences international students during the closure of the universities in the country due to Covid-19 pandemic. This paper adopted the data from self-designed questionnaire administered to 68 international students from a public university in South Africa The quantitative data were analysed using the descriptive statistics. The results show that international students were more vulnerable and exposed to socio-economic and mental challenges including sense of low esteem, financial distress and emotional distress during the pandemic which impacted negatively on their academic outputs and social wellbeing, amongst other things. The findings also revealed that the university authorities did not take the necessary steps to address the life circumstances of the international students. The paper, therefore, highlights the holistic understanding of how to mitigate and alleviate the socio-economic impacts of such pandemic in future through opening dialogue, changing institutional policy to respond to emergency as at when it occurs, and the universities or higher institutions should put in place intervention strategies to assist foreign students during the outbreak of a disease.
Dance, Time and Cosmogony in the Oral Tradition of the Brogpa of Ladakh, India
Authors: Robova Proletina
Published: December 2023

In the present article, I outline some aspects of dance in the religious and festive traditions of the ethnolinguistic community Brogpa in Ladakh, India. It is one of the few Indo-Aryan groups in the region have that managed to preserve various elements of their archaic pre-Buddhist and pre-Islamic religious traditions. In this context, I explore the relationship of dance as a cultural practice to the cult of deities lha, part of the pre-Buddhist folk religion spread throughout the Tibetan cultural area. The focus here is on key aspects of the conceptual meaning of dance that can be traced back to the Dardic religious traditions of the community. The persistent presence of dance as a central motif in local cosmology, festive customs and oral tradition is examined.

La coma en les dislocacions i les focalitzacions en llengua catalana i llengua castellana
Authors: Pimenta Gemma
Published: December 2023

En un article recent, Xavier Villalba adverteix que algunes de les errades de puntuació freqüents en català són causades per una mala comprensió de l’estructura gramatical de la llengua pròpia (i no tant per un dèficit en l’assimilació de la norma, com es pressuposa sovint). Es fixa en les vacil·lacions en l’ús de la coma en els casos en què hi ha dislocacions o focalitzacions i conclou que, tot i que la norma és poc sistemàtica i imprecisa en molts punts, molts dels usos no normatius en la llengua escrita no poden explicar-se per aquesta causa, ja que es reprodueixen també allà on la norma és clara i unívoca. Amb la intenció de millorar la comprensió gramatical d’aquestes estructures, Villalba proposa una sèrie d’orientacions per a l’elaboració de materials didàctics destinats a treballar aquest fenomen en l’ensenyament secundari, fonamentades en la reflexió metagramatical de l’alumnat basada en la seva pròpia competència lingüística i comunicativa. A partir de la seva proposta, hem dissenyat una seqüència didàctica adaptada a la realitat de les aules de secundària catalanes, que contempla, a més, les interferències lingüístiques i les diferències normatives entre català i castellà.
TÜRK DÜNYASI MASALLARINDA EVLİLİKLE İLGİLİ TESPİTLER
Authors: ÖZCAN GÜLER Derya , ÖZKAN Ali
Published: December 2023

Evlilik, toplumun temel beklentilerinden biridir. İnsanlar, bu beklenti etrafında, evlilik kurumunun şekillendirdiği geleneklerle kültürün bir parçası olmayı sürdürür. Evlilik ve evliliğin törensel yanını oluşturan düğün, birçok masal metninin mutlu sonla bittiğine işaret eden bir kod olarak kullanılır. Masalın içinde bir aksiyon ya da masalın sonunda iyinin ödülü olan bir mutluluk sembolü niteliğindedir.

Bu çalışmada Türk dünyası coğrafyasının çeşitli bölgelerinden seçili masallarda geçen, evlilik ile ilişkilendirilen konular ele alınmıştır. Evlenme, her kültürde olduğu gibi Türk kültüründe de çok önemsenmiş; bu nedenle toplumsal değerlerin aktarıldığı masal metinlerinde de sıklıkla kendine yer bulan bir motif olmuştur. Evliliğin toplumsal yapı içinde ele alınışı, masal gibi köklü bir anlatı geleneği içinde kendine nasıl yer bulduğu, hangi yönleriyle ve nasıl bir bakış açısıyla yansıtıldığının izini sürmek çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Azerbaycan, Başkurt, Gagavuz, Hakas, Kazak, Kırgız, Nogay, Özbek, Tatar, Tuva, Türkmen, Uygur, Yakut olmak üzere on üç Türk boyunun masalları ile ilgili lisansüstü tez çalışmalarında yahut kitaplarda yer alan masallar incelenmiştir. Bu masallarda evlilikle alakalı örnekler tespit edilmiş ve ele aldıkları konuya göre tasnif edilmiştir. Buna göre evlenme şartları, ikinci evlilik, çok eşlilik, hayvanla evlenme, olağanüstü varlıklarla evlilik, aile içi evlilik şeklinde evlilikle ilgili çeşitli alt başlıklar oluşturulmuştur. Altı adet alt başlık içerisinde de paragraflar şeklinde alt maddeler bulunmaktadır. Türk dünyası topluluklarının masallarında evlilik, masalın düğünle törensel bir havaya bürünen, masalın mutlu sonla bittiğini gösteren bir işaret olmaktan öte, masalın olay örgüsü üzerinde işlevsel bir önemi olan bir motif şeklindedir.

Evlenme şartlarında daha çok kısıtlı bir zamanda zor bir işin yapılması şart koşulmuş; şartı da bazen evlenecek kişiler bazen ebeveyn belirlemiştir. İkinci evlilik maddesinde baba olan erkeğin ikinci evlilik yapması nedeniyle zalim üvey anne motifi tespit edilmiştir. Türk dünyası masallarında çok eşlilik, genelde hükümdar konumundaki erkeklerin çocuksuzluk sorunu nedeniyle başvurduğu bir çözüm olarak yansıtılmıştır masallarda. Bazen iki bazen altmış adet karısı olan erkeğin eşleri arasındaki kıskançlık da masalda entrikanın ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Tespit edilen alt başlıklar içinde örneğine en çok rastlananı hayvanla evlenmedir. Hayvanla evlilik yapan kişi genelde kadındır ve Türk dünyası masallarında en çok ayı ve yılanla evlilik tespit edilmiştir. Olağanüstü varlıklarla evlenme başlığı altında, insanın devle ve periyle evlenmesi örneklerine rastlanır. Devle evlilik yapan kahraman genelde kadındır ve zor kullanarak, kaçırılarak evlenmek zorunda kalmıştır. Perilerle evlilikte ise evliliği yapan kahraman genelde erkektir, peri kızıyla mutlu bir hayat yaşar.

Türk dünyası masallarında aile içi evlilik örneği sayıca azdır. Masallarda aile fertlerinden biriyle evlilik, çeşitli sebeplerle gündeme geldiği hâlde evliliğin gerçekleşmediği görülmüştür.
ANADOLU ESNAF DANSLARI
Authors: FERATAN Muharrem
Published: December 2023

Makalenin ele aldığı konu geçmişten günümüze kadar Anadolu kent kültüründe yer alan esnaf birlikleri geleneği ve bu birliklerin eğlence toplantılarında sergilenen esnaf danslarıdır. Anadolu sahasında yer alan Türk esnaf dansları hakkında bilgi vermeyi amaçlayan bu makalenin temel amacı, Türk kent eğlence kültüründe yer alan esnaf toplantılarının geleneksel danslarla ilişkisi ve günümüze kadar gelmiş esnaf danslarının hangileri olduğudur. Anadolu’da ilk esnaf teşkilatlarının temeli Doğu Roma imparatorluğu olarak da bilinen Bizans imparatorluğu dönemine dayanmaktadır. 11. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında itibaren Anadolu’ya gelerek yerleşik hayata geçmeye başlayan göçebe Türkler, bu yeni topraklarda kendi kültürel dokusunu oluştururken eski göçebe geleneğinin yanı sıra buradaki yerleşik uygarlıkların mirasından da yararlanmışlardır. Nitekim bu yeni dönemde Müslüman Türklerin kurduğu esnaf oluşumlarından en önemlisi olan Ahilik geleneği, yereldeki kültürlerle bir etkileşimin sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu gelenek Osmanlılar döneminde de devam etmiş, İstanbul’un fethinden sonra ise değişerek Lonca sistemine dönüşmüştür. Daha sonrasında Gedik ismini alan esnaf teşkilatları 18. yüzyıla kadar devam etmiştir. Bu teşkilatlarda görülen esnaf sohbet geleneği ise günümüzde Anadolu’nun çeşitli yörelerinde yaren, velime, barana, sıra gecesi vb. gibi farklı isimlerle yaşatılmaktadır. Esnafın fiziksel ve psikolojik rahatlama, iletişim ve sosyalleşme amacıyla bir araya geldiği bu toplantılarda müzik ve dans önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bugün Anadolu’da görülen kimi dansların kökeni ise bu toplantılara dayanmaktadır. Bu konu bağlamında hazırlanan makalede öncelikle Anadolu’da görülen esnaf birlikleri ele alınmış, sonrasında ise esnaf birliklerinin dans ile ilişkisi ortaya konulmuştur. Son olarak da çalışmanın özünü oluşturan Anadolu esnaf dansları ve günümüzdeki icraları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Bu araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemine başvurularak konu ile ilgili yazılı görsel materyallerin incelenmesini ve çözümlenmesini içeren “doküman incelemesi” ve “eleştirel söylem analizi” teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca söz konusu Anadolu esnaf danslarının günümüzdeki icralarına dair görüntüler Kare kod (QR kod) sistemi ile çalışmaya eklenmiştir. Çalışmamızda genel olarak Anadolu sahasındaki esnaf dansları ve bu dansların oluşum sürecinde etkili olan esnaf teşkilatları ile ilişkisi tartışılacaktır.
TATAR KIZI (1909) VE TATAR KIZLARI (1913) ADLI ESERLERİNDEN HAREKETLE FATİH EMİRHAN’IN KADIN HAKLARI KONUSUNA BAKIŞI
Authors: GÜNGÖR Gözde
Published: December 2023

XIX. yüzyılın ortalarında Tatar edebiyatında Marifetçilik akımı etkisinde yeni bir edebiyat oluşmaya başlar. Musa Akyiğitzade, Zahir Bigiyev, Rızaeddin Fahreddin, Fatih Kerimi gibi temsilcilerin modern türlerin ilk örneklerini verdiği bu dönem Tatar edebiyat tarihinde Megrifetçĕlĕk (Marifetçilik) devri edebiyatı olarak adlandırılır. Bu devir aydınlarının temel gayesi halkı cehaletten bataklığından kurtarmak ve eğitim vasıtasıyla modern bir toplum oluşturmaktır. Edebi eserler bu amaç doğrultusunda kaleme alındığından gerek eser kişileri gerekse kurgu bakımından didaktik mahiyettedirler. Genellikle eserlerin kurgusu eski ve yeni dünya görüşünün çatışması üzerine oturtulur ve bu çatışma ile bir taraftan cehalet eleştirilirken diğer taraftan eğitimi, ahlakı, davranış biçimleriyle her yönden idealize edilmiş kadın ve erkek tiplemeler ile modern toplum için örnek bireyler okura sunulur.

Rus meşrutiyeti sonrasında değişen siyasi ve toplumsal koşullar doğrultusunda bir önceki dönemden farklı bir edebiyat anlayışı gelişmeye başlar. Özellikle 1906-1908 yılları arası edebiyat dünyasında gözlenen edebi gelişmeler modernizmin müjdecisi niteliğindedir ve nihayet 1910’lu yıllar itibarıyla Rus ve Avrupa edebi akımlarının etkisinde modernist çizgide Tatar edebiyatı oluşur. Kuşkusuz bu devrin edebiyatçıları da tıpkı bir önceki dönemin temsilcileri gibi çağdaş bir Tatar toplumu yaratmayı hedeflemektedirler. Bununla birlikte toplumsal meselelere yaklaşımları, ideolojileri, edebiyat anlayışları ile seleflerinden farklılaşırlar.

Abdullah Tukay, Ayaz İshaki, Galiesgar Kamal, Mecit Gafuri, Derdmend, Necip Dumavi, Gali Rehim, Feyzi, Şehir Ehmediyev, Galimcan İbrahimov gibi temsilcileriyle gelişen modernist Tatar edebiyatının mühim temsilcilerinden biri de Fatih Emirhan (1886-1926)dır. Edebiyat tarihinde Emirhan XX. yüzyıl başı Tatar edebiyatını çeşitli yönleriyle Batı edebiyatına yakınlaştırmış oluşuyla tanınır. Bu çalışmanın ‘Giriş’ bölümünde yazar; edebi akım, inşa, usul vb. konularda Tatar basın hayatı ve edebiyatına kazandırdığı yenilik üzerinden tanıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. İkinci bölümde Tatar toplumunda aydınlanma devrinin en başta gelen meselelerinden biri olan kadın hakları konusuna yazarın eserleri üzerinden değinilmiştir. Bu bölümde yazarın kadın temasını doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak ele aldığı roman, piyes vb türlerdeki tüm eserleri verilmemiş konu kıssa geleneği ile kaleme aldığı Tatar Kızı (1909) ve Tatar Kızları (1913) eserleriyle sınırlandırılmıştır. Son olarak ‘Değerlendirme ve Sonuç’ bölümünde ise yazarın sözü edilen eserleri ve kadın teması bir önceki devir edebiyatıyla mukayese edilerek değerlendirilmiştir.
TÜRKÜLERDEN BİR TÜRKÜ: “BUGÜN PAZAR-I AŞKTIR” TÜRKÜSÜNÜN METNİ ÜZERİNE
Authors: ÇEVİK Mehmet
Published: December 2023

Bu makalede, bağlama ve türkü sanatçısı Erdal Erzincan’ın 2002 yılında çıkan Al Mendil adlı müzik albümündeki “Bugün Pazar-ı Aşktır” türküsünün metni ele alınmaktadır. Hüseyin Bayrak tarafından Hacı Bayrak’tan türkü olarak derlenmiş olan bu metin; kimi kaynaklara göre Erzurumlu Emrah, kimi kaynaklara göre ise Nesimî’ye aittir. Ancak yapılan literatür taraması göstermektedir ki metin, her iki şairin de şiirleri arasında yer almamaktadır. Diğer taraftan bu metnin çeşitli kaynaklarda bulunan kimi varyantlarının Derviş Muhammed adına ya da anonim bir ürün şeklinde kayıtlı olduğu da görülmektedir. Tüm bunlar metnin kaynağı ve sahibi problemini tamamen karmaşık hâle getirmektedir. Buna bağlı olarak da taranan kaynaklardan elde edilen mevcut bilgi ve belgelerin bu problemi çözme konusunda şimdilik yeterli olmadığı görülmektedir. Ancak metnin, çalışma kapsamında yapılan taramalarla tespit edilememiş, dikkatlerden kaçmış, yani ulaşılamamış yazılı ya da basılı başka kaynaklarda bulunuyor olma ihtimali de elbette mümkündür. Diğer taraftan bu metinle ilgili yeni bilgi ve belgelerin gelecekte ortaya çıkarılması ihtimali de elbette söz konusudur. Ancak bugün, çalışmaya konu edilen şiir, mevcut hâliyle bir türkünün metni olarak tedavüldedir. Bu metin incelendiğinde, kimi yerlerinin yapı ve anlam açısından şiirin dokusuna uygun olmadığı; yer yer belirsizlik, bulanıklık ya da anlamsızlığa yol açabildiği görülmektedir. Bu durumun, metne sözlü kültür ortamında yapılan çeşitli müdahalelerden kaynaklandığı anlaşılmaktadır ki bu tür müdahaleler sözlü kültür ortamı için oldukça doğaldır. Bu nedenle de mevcut metinde eksik ya da yanlış olduğu iddia edilen noktalarla ilgili türkünün -aslında içten birer teşekkür ve saygıyı hak eden- kaynak kişisi, derleyicisi ve türküyü geniş kitlelere ulaştıran icracısına yönelik herhangi bir suçlayıcı yaklaşımda bulunulması kesinlikle düşünülemez. Bu makalede söz konusu türküye ait mevcut metin, önce sahibi ve kaynağı açısından tartışılmış, ardından da gerekli görülen yerleri bilimsel ölçütler göz önünde bulundurularak tamir edilip çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında tamir etme bağlamında metne yapılan müdahaleler, şimdilik karşılaştırma yapılabilecek orijinal ya da en azından daha eski bir metin bulunamadığı için -her ne kadar bilimsel ölçütlere bağlı kalınmaya çalışılsa da- büyük oranda araştırmacının kişisel görüşlerini içermektedir. Bu bakımdan çalışmada metnin tamiri ve çözümlenmesine dair ortaya konan görüşler tartışmaya ve dolayısıyla metne dair problemlerin çözümü bağlamında sunulacak katkılara açıktır.
PRIORITIZING PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FACTORS OF EVENT-BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS USING INTERPRETIVE STRUCTURAL MODELING
Authors: Joshi Mangesh
Published: December 2023

This paper is aimed at the application of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) for prioritizing the factors associated with the performance evaluation of event-based information management system (EBIMS). The study identified thirteen such critical factors deciding the performance of Event-Based Information Systems. Literature review along with experts' opinions were collected to arrive at the final thirteen factors. In this paper, the authors have used Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach to interpret the interdependency among the selected factors. In addition, MICMAC (cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification) analysis is also performed to illustrate the relative driving and dependence power among the selected factors. This paper infers that event processing algorithm, data volume and quality, and hardware and software along with query complexity are the most dominating factors which have the highest driving power and the minimum dependence power as they drive other factors and sit at the top of the interpretive structure model.

Ecological-friendly and unhazardous materials are being prepared by the scientific community in search of novel lead-free ferroelectric materials. K0.5Na0.5NbO3belonging to the ABO3 perovskite was found to be promising ferroelectric lead-free material. A new set of compound, namely, double dopant LKNZN compound was prepared by solid state route. Here, Lithium is partially replaced with Sodium, at A-site, and Zirconium substituted with Niobium, at B-site. The compositional formula of the present investigations is: [((K0.5Na0.5)(1-x)Lix) (Zr0.025Nb0.98)O3], where x=0, and 0.025 9 (labelled as KNN1 and KNN2). In addition we have prepared (K0.5(Na0.475Li0.025)) (Zr0.025Nb0.98)O3 (labelled as KNN3). XRD patterns obtained at room temperaturehave shown maximum intensity peak of (111), confirms the formation of a single-phase. SEM pictures of KNN1 and KNN2 have shown cubical grain with bimodal grain distribution, whereas KNN3 consist of circular bimodal grain distribution. Delectric measurements were studied on the said above samples. It is observed a hump around 200°Cand dielectric transition at 4520°C for all the samples. From this it is evident that: (i) the samples are transforming from orthorhombic phase to tetragonal phase near 200°C (ii) around 420°C, samples transform from tetragonal phase to cubic phase. Theresults were corroborated to the tolerance factor and lattice distortions.

Textile fibres find application in many fields, such as; Apparel manufacturing, Medical, Agriculture, Packaging, Civil construction, Shipping. Some of these fibres lack special characteristics required for some specific application without any additional treatment. Large scale production of linen fibre has been limited by the tendency of the fibre to absorb water, degradation by micro-organisms and sunlight. These factors ultimately lower the strength and the service life of the fibre. Hence, the need to improve the hydrophobicity of natural linen fibre before application. Poor dye-fibre interaction has been an area of constant interest in the textile industry. This has been expressed by bleeding, crocking, bleaching of fabric resulting to fading of the fabric. These shortcomings are sometimes due to poor treatment, manufacturing processes and customer handling. Natural linen fiber is an eco-friendly ligno-cellulosic fiber known for its strength, resistance to degradation, hydrophobicity when pointedly modified. In this research, chemical modification of scoured and bleached linen fibre by Acetylation, Methylation and Benzoylation was carried out. The chemically modified fibres were evaluated by techniques such as SEM and FTIR spectroscopy. The mechanical property (strength) was determined after each modification. The result obtained revealed an absorption band at 3432 cm-1 - 3450 cm-1 confirming the OH group in the linen fibre. The band at 704 cm-1 indicated the presence of a benzene ring from benzoyl chloride. The chemical modification changed the morphology of the linen fibre for improved dye–fibre interaction. The chemically modified species were dyed and further subjected to a dye fastness test. The results revealed at 4.33a ± 0.69, 5.00a ± 0.00 and 4.67a ± 0.58 as against3.00a±1.00, 3.33a±0.58 and 2.67a±0.58 for light fastness, wash fastness and rub fastness respectively when subjected to ANOVA analysis. In conclusion, benzoylated linen fibre was observed to most improved dye-fibre interaction.

Authors: Li Xia , Kongsuwan Waraporn , Yodchai Kantaporn
Published: December 2023

Peaceful dying process is considered as an important outcome of high-quality of palliative care and end-of-life care. To meet the patients’ needs of peaceful end of life, appropriate nurses’ practice of peaceful end-of-life care is demanded. However,  no specific instrument was found to assess nurses’ practice of peaceful end-of-life care. This paper aims to report a preliminary development of an instrument to measure practice of peaceful end-of-life care among nurses. Theory of Peaceful End of Life developed by Ruland and Moore was employed as a framework in initial creating 30 item questionnaires of Nurses’ Practice of Peaceful End of Life Instrument (NP-PECI) in English language. The steps of validating contents of questionnaires were followed. Three experts in this area were reviewed and gave comments on each item. Content Validity Index (CVI) was evaluated and its average value was 0.94. Some unclear language items were revised. A pilot study in 60 Chinese nurses in a community hospital was done during March, 2021. The reliability of the NP-PECI was measured by using internal consistence reliability in which Cronbach’s alpha was 0.973. The result of this pilot study showed that the NP-PECI with 30 items was valid and reliable. However, rigorous evaluation of psychometric properties of this instrument will be recommended in a large sample size.
Las sociedades frente al problema ambiental
Authors: Spivak L’Hoste Ana
Published: December 2023

Este libro se propone ahondar en dimensiones y conceptos clave para abordar el problema ambiental desde las ciencias sociales. Sus textos se organizan en dos partes. En la primera, se examinan las distintas formas en que se reflexionó acerca de la relación naturaleza-sociedad, desde las miradas dicotómicas hasta la configuración del ambiente como problema social. La segunda parte se centra en el rol que juegan los conocimientos expertos y no expertos en el análisis de ese problema.

Los autores, provenientes de la antropología, la sociología, la historia, la economía, la filosofía y la educación ambiental, no tienen como objeto profundizar casos de estudio sino destacar, a partir de ellos, discusiones transversales. Más precisamente, se proponen echar luz, a partir de esas discusiones, sobre los aportes de las ciencias sociales para comprender las formas y efectos de los deterioros del planeta producidos por la actividad humana y, por qué no, para dar pistas sobre rumbos alternativos.
FIFA World Cup 2022 and Bangladesh
Authors: Khan Anisur Rahman
Published: December 2023

The FIFA World Cup is the most exalted sporting event in the globe. Although Bangladesh is not historically a great football-playing nation and has never been any close to the final stage of World Cup qualification, the FIFA World Cup matters so much for Bangladesh. This content analysis is an effort to understand the implications of the FIFA World Cup 2022, held in Qatar, in Bangladesh from the standpoint of the sociology of sport. News, events, opinions and activities published in various national and international online English news portals capturing the connection between the FIFA World Cup 2022 and Bangladesh have been analysed. Findings have been categorised and analysed according to the essence of the major theoretical perspectives in sociology: functionalism, conflict theory and symbolic interactionism. Three theoretical perspectives in sociology offer meaningful explanations about the interface between the FIFA World Cup 2022 and Bangladesh. According to functionalism, the FIFA World Cup 2022 conveyed several beneficial consequences for Bangladesh. But some incidents of dysfunction were also noted. The ways Bangladeshi expatriate workers involved in World Cup-related construction projects were exploited and suffered has been explained by conflict theory. The whole of Bangladesh was inextricably connected with the FIFA World Cup 2022. This factor is explained by symbolic interactionism.

The melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a crop of great economic importance for the world, and in Brazil it is mainly intended for the export of its fresh fruits to the European market. In the North region, especially in Roraima, the cultivation of melon is one of the alternatives for exploring the cerrado areas, as its favorable edaphoclimatic conditions enable cultivation during the off-season in Brazil. The yellow melon is grown by most producers in Roraima, however, the technology adopted by the producers implies low yields and quality of the fruits required by the foreign market. The Northeast region of the country adopts techniques for the use of mulching (soil cover using polyethylene film), where beneficial factors are associated with curcubitaceae, protecting the soil against evaporation, saving water, energy, fertilizers and hindering pest infestation. (weeds and insects), and diseases. In addition, they use agrotextile to cover plants, which reduces the attack of pests and diseases in the melon crop. Thus, proper management provides good perspectives for the cultivation of melons with excellent quality, reducing the use of pesticides and being profitable for the producer. Therefore, in view of this context, this study sought to review inherent information on the efficiency of the use of mulching management associated with TNT in the melon crop.

Purpose: The increasing desire of the community towards fulfilling the practical needs of life is currently accommodated by the rapid development of communication technology in the last five years in Indonesia. One example is the emergence of various food delivery applications. This will affect the pattern of daily food consumption in the community. Therefore, this study determined the personal and socio-environmental factors that influence the frequency of online food ordering (OFO) behavior and also high-risk food consumption through online food delivery services (OFDS) among young adults in Depok City.
 
Theoritical Framework: This study adopts the social cognitive theory, developed by Bandura, as its framework. This theory is one of the most widely applied theories to discusses the determinants of health behavior. It is built on an understanding of the interactions that occur between individuals and environment.
 
Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study conducted with 686 participants of young adults aged 20–39 years that lived in Depok City, West Java Province, Indonesia, for minimal the last six months. They were administered a questionnaire through Alchemer, formerly SurveyGizmo. Descriptive statistics were employed for all variables measured. A T-test and a Chi-square test were conducted to determine the factors influencing the OFO frequency and high-risk food consumption through OFDS. Predictor variables were generated using multi-logistic regression models.
 
Results: The personal and socio-environmental factors related to the frequency of OFO behavior were attitudes toward risk, benefit, barriers, features of OFDS, satisfaction with OFDS, socio-environmental influence, perception about OFDS, and online food preference. Furthermore, the factors associated with high-risk food consumption through OFDS were attitudes toward benefit, features, satisfaction with OFDS, socio-environmental influence, perception about OFDS, online food preference, and knowledge of OFDS. The predictor for the frequency of OFO behavior was satisfaction toward OFDS (ß = 3.3; CI: 2.4–4.7; p-value <0.001), while those for high-risk food consumption were personal and socio-environmental factors (ß = 1.8; CI: 1.3–2.5; p-value = 0.001 and ß = 1.7; CI: 1.2–2.4; p-value = 0.001, respectively).
 
Conclusions: Satisfaction, social environment, and food preference play essential roles in OFDS. The findings demonstrated the urgency of conducting further studies to elaborate on the association of OFDS with non-communicable diseases.

Published: December 2023

Objective: This research aims to identify the study of Right to Health and Development in India especially through the existing framework of Law specifically related to bioinformatics and medical infrastructure laws in India.
 
Methodology: Exploratory and Analytical research is employed in this work using Primary and secondary data from Legislations, Journals, Books, Articles, and reports and also a data set from empirically sourced data.
 
Result: The survey indicated that the Urban Primary Healthcare Centres (UPHC’s) find it difficult to address the Gender Disparities in Health Access, Age-Related Health Service Utilization, Effectiveness of Bioinformatics in Health Management, Impact of Medical Infrastructure on Health Outcomes, Regional Disparities in Health Access, Community Engagement and Health Services, Bioinformatics Adoption and Staff Capacity.
 
Conclusion: Right to health, bioinformatics and medical infrastructure in themselves are a very broad subject matter.  The concept of Right to Health aimed at Development in the advent of advances in the technology, the study of medicine and the modes of experimentation, has changed drastically and the approach in respect to the findings involved in these studies have radically changed. Therefore, invariably this has to be dealt with constitutionally as Right to Health is an implied right that has taken birth from the fundamental right of Life and Liberty as envisioned under the Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and the same has to be looked into from a detailed perspective in relation to the medical infrastructure and preservation of the biological samples and subsequent updating in terms of databases. Ultimately the services offered in the UPHC’s by the state should be on par with, if not ahead, of the Private Health Care Centres in order for the concept of Right to Health to be fully realised and the UPHC’s should ensure work, clinical consideration, training, retirement aide, medical care, education and social security of the Doctors and staff at in the UPHC’s.

Экспериментальная часть работы выполнена в виварии кафедры паразитологии и ветеринарно-санитарной экспертизы ФГБОУ ВО МГАВМиБ-МВА им. К.И. Скрябина. Перепелов породы Техасская белая в 60-суточном возрасте распределяли на две группы (опыт, контроль) по 20 голов в каждой. Опытной группе перепелов в основной рацион методом опрыскивания корма добавляли кормовую добавку на основе 55 %-ной водно-масляной эмульсии рыбьего жира, комбикорм скармливали на протяжении 30 суток, контрольная группа перепелов кормовую добавку не получала. В период эксперимента всех перепелов подвергали регулярному клиническому осмотру. Ветеринарно-санитарную оценку тушек перепелов проводили согласно действующим нормативным документам и общепринятым методикам. По результатам проведенных исследований нами установлено, что применяемая кормовая добавка не оказывает отрицательного влияния на организм перепелов, птицы активно поедали корм и пили воду. В опытной группе перепелов было отмечено увеличение прироста живой массы на 5,4 %, сохранность поголовья на 5,0 %, выход съедобных частей тушки на 2,0 %, также отмечено снижение несъедобных частей тушки (кишечник, селезенка, семенники) на 1,4 % по отношению к контрольной группе.

Важнейшей задачей современного молочного животноводства является обеспечение населения полноценными и безопасными молочными продуктами, что определяет соответствующие требования к агропромышленному комплексу. Одним из способов решения данной проблемы является повышение молочной продуктивности животных при сохранении здоровья путем использования в кормлении пробиотических препаратов. В задачи исследования входила оценка морфологических и биохимических показателей крови высокопродуктивных коров при включении в рацион пробиотика «Румит-V». Научный эксперимент был проведен на базе ООО «Зазеркалье» Грязовецкого района Вологодской области. В промышленных испытаниях задействовано две группы по 30 коров, подобранных методом миниатюрного стада. Коровы контрольной группы получали хозяйственный рацион, а животным опытной группы ежедневно на протяжении 90 дней в дневное кормление дополнительно к основному рациону скармливали по 50 г пробиотика «Румит-V». По окончании эксперимента в опытной группе коров, по сравнению с контролем, установлено повышение общего белка на 2,2 %, глюкозы на 15,2 % (Р ˂ 0,05), отмечалось снижение концентрации мочевины на 11,2 %, ферментов ЛДГ на 12,2 %, АСТ на 19,2 % (Р ˂ 0,05), АЛТ на 11,7 % (Р ˂ 0,05). Таким образом, скармливание высокопродуктивным коровам ферментативно-пробиотического препарата «Румит-V» способствовало нормализации обменных процессов в организме

Crossbred goats (48) of almost similar age group and body weight, positive for gastrointestinal nematodosis were randomly divided into 8 groups of 6 each. The egg per gram of faeces was determined prior to the treatment (0 day) and at every 15 days interval up to 100 days post treatment. The herbal formulation consisted of sample AAU/CI incorporated into urea molasses block (UMB) and was fed @ 15g/animal/ day. There was 100% efficacy of the MUMB (FBZ) administered in group 1 in stall feeding animal and 84.45±9.99% in group 3 MUMB (FBZ) grazing animal respectively. The overall efficacy of MUMB (AAU/CI) in stall feeding and grazing animals (group 5 and 6) were 78.33±11.33 and 90.48±6.02 respectively. The overall efficacy of UMB administered in stall feeding and grazing animal (group 2 and 4) was 20.37±3.42 and 1.52±1.52% respectively. There was significant (P<0.05) difference between the different groups at different ages. From the observations it is evident that the faecal egg count of helminth infected goats reduced significantly following the treatment with the herbal formulation.

The demand for livestock products is increasing at an unprecedented rate in the state of Jammu and Kashmir due to changing socio-economic, nutritional and demographic profile. The state has to spend a whooping sum of Rs 20,000 million (333 million USD) on import of livestock products/inputs like mutton, poultry, feed etc from neighbouring states of Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat etc. The profitability of livestock production systems hinges around the quantity of output produced and quantity of feed consumed besides other factors. The demand-supply scenario of the fodder revealed 7,459 thousand metric tonnes of fodder availability over the estimated requirement of 12,563 thousand metric tonnes for livestock population of 10,938 thousand. The state is 40% deficit in fodder on dry matter basis and the deficiency is more pronounced in the segments of green fodder and concentrates. Strategies need to be framed for improving the productivity of pasture and grazing and other support lands. Institutional mechanisms have to be developed for adoption of optimal system of rotational and deferred grazing and intermittent grazing of cattle/buffalo and sheep/goats. Formulation and implementation of strategy for development of support lands (common property resources) needs greater collaboration among stakeholders with a lead role to animal/sheep husbandry departments.

Published: December 2023

The selective breeding methodology was followed for improving the productivity of Black Bengal goats under field conditions. Superior bucks were procured from the field and were trained for semen collection. The germplasm was transferred to the nearby village herds through AI. The height, length and girth of Black Bengal female goats at 3 months of age in the random bred population increased in the kids born from selective breeding. The body weight of Black Bengal goats in the random bred population at 3 and 12 months of age in the kids parented by selected bucks, the body weight was higher. Significant difference was not noticed between the random bred population and the population descended from selected bucks, but improvement in performance of the later was noticed for all the age groups. Phenotypic correlation between the body weight and morphometric traits was highly significant for both males and females. Strategy for long-term improvement of productivity through selective breeding was discussed.

In the present study, fatty acid profile of subcutaneous adipose tissue of indigenous and crossbred pigs were evaluated. Saturated fatty acid content was substantially high across genetic groups. Among the saturated fatty acids, palmitic acid was higher followed by stearic acid. Among the unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid was highest followed by linoleic acid, palmitoleic acid and linolenic acid. Poly- unsaturated fatty acids constituted more than quarter of the total unsaturated fatty acids. All the 3 genetic groups which are predominantly used for pork production in north east India, had a low content of essential fatty acid (CLA).
