Authors: Calderón Valdivia Keren Olinda , Infantes Ruiz Veronica Hamileth
Published: January 2022

En este artículo se ha abordado la filosofía y la educación cristiana, con el objetivo de construir algunas reflexiones bíblico cristianas, las cuales serán compartidas con los docentes y los estudiantes, cuya filiación sea cristiana particularmente. Para construir estas reflexiones se ha realizado un análisis exhaustivo y hermenéutico, sobre algunas referencias bíblicas y filosóficas, en el contexto de la educación cristiana, cuyos tiempos y espacios son muy complicados, por los influjos de las demás filosofías, contrarias a la cosmovisión bíblico cristina, generando algunos trastornos en la enseñanza de los docentes, cuya filiación es cristiana. En este sentido, se concluye que la educación bíblico cristina tiene su base sobre los principios bíblicos, cuyo maestro de maestros es Jesús: modelo, ejemplo, paradigma y redentor.

Possibility and Probability in Siin Seereer Language
Authors: Faye Jean Christophe
Published: January 2022

The present work deals with possibility and probability in Siin Seereer, a language belonging to the West Atlantic branch of the Niger- Congo family. Possibility and probability are two notions which are so close in meaning and that lots of people make confusion in their uses mainly in the verbs and phrases used to express them. The enunciator, focusing on his/her observation of facts, shows the possibility or the probability that the grammatical subject has to realize the predicate. In other words, he/she accounts the possibility or the probability of the realization or the non- realization of the predicative relationship. Thus, we have pointed out that most of the verbs, operators and phrases used to express these concepts are most of the time placed at the beginning of the sentence. Furthermore, there are some verbs which are used to express possibility and that can also be used to express probability if they are combined with other verbs or phrases.

東尼、克許納的普立茲得獎作品《美國天使，國家議題的同志幻想》探討同性戀、宗教、政治、同志恐懼症、和身份等重大議題，亦激發意識型態、畏懼、及焦慮等種種意見衝突。然而，探討本劇的學術研究，無論為關於政治、宗教、或文化的意識型態戰爭，都不經意地透露出某方面的忽略或迴避──肉體。肉體在本劇中不僅舉足輕重且一再地帶給觀眾深痛的衝擊。《美國天使》中無所不在的肉體展現，尤其是感染愛滋病的男同志病體，在在證實了劇中具強烈身體感官的言語、意象、和行動的重要性。本文深究《美國天使》中運用肉體的意識型態和䇿略意涵，並論述克許納將肉體政治化，透過展現怪誕醜陋的男同志愛滋病體、疾病敍述、及性暴露的方式，為男同性戀者和愛滋病患爭取平權，並激發同情心與善解的人性光輝。

 

Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Angels in America, A Gay Fantasia on National Themes (1992) brings ponderous issues such as homosexuality, religion, politics, homophobia, and identity together in a fascinating and profound clash of warring beliefs, ideologies, fears, and anxiety. However, the plethora of scholarship which the play has inspired on the wars of ideology, be they political, religious, or cultural, has betrayed an unwitting negligence or avoidance in one regard—corporeality, which not only abounds in the play but also insistently makes poignant impressions on the audience. The pervasiveness of corporeality in Angels in America, specifically the AIDS-infected male homosexual body, attests to the centrality of visceral language, imagery, and action in the play. This study delves into the ideological and strategic implications of corporeality in Angels in America and postulates that Kushner politicizes corporeality to strive for equity for homosexual males and AIDS patients and to inspire sympathy and understanding humanity through the AIDS-infected male homosexual grotesquery, illness narratives, and sexual explicitness.

Published: January 2022

這項研究主要調查台灣非英語系主修的大學生英語閱讀焦慮，英語自我效能以及閱讀能力等三者之間的關係。本研究對象為209名非英語系的大三學生。此次研究採用兩份問卷，外語閱讀焦慮問卷和英語學習自我效能問卷，以及多益閱讀測驗來了解這三項變數之間的關係。研究者在兩份問卷各加入開放式問題，以了解學習者對自身英語學習自我效能和英語閱讀焦慮的認知。結果顯示，學生英語學習自我效能與閱讀能力之間的關係呈正相關，但與英語閱讀焦慮之間則是負相關。另外，學生英語閱讀自我效能和英語學習自我效能呈現高度相關。然而，英語閱讀焦慮與不同程度的閱讀能力並無任何關聯。就閱讀焦慮的因素而言，大多數學生在閱讀陌生的詞彙和句子結構時都會經歷閱讀焦慮。學生英語學習自我效能越高者，在閱讀理解上的表現則愈佳。而閱讀能力在中間的學生，其英語學習自我效能和閱讀焦慮則呈現顯著差異的負相關。總而言之，這項研究增加對於非英語系主修學生在英語學習自我效能以及閱讀焦慮認知上的了解，以及這些因素在英語閱讀能力上產生的影響，同時提供語言教師非英語系主修學生的閱讀焦慮來源。教學建議則提供教師未來於課堂參考，以有效提升學生的英語學習自我效能及降低閱讀焦慮。

 

EFL learners’ reading performances can be greatly influenced by affective factors, such as anxiety and self-efficacy. This study investigates the effects of non-English major EFL learners’ reading anxiety and overall-English-learning self-efficacy on their reading proficiency. 209 non-English majors participated in the study. Two questionnaires, the Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale and the Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy, and a TOEIC reading subtest were utilized to examine the relationship between the three variables. Open-ended questions at the end of two questionnaires were added to obtain learners’ perceptions of overall-English-learning self-efficacy and reading anxiety. Results showed that the relationship between overall-English-learning self-efficacy, reading self-efficacy, and reading proficiency was positive respectively whereas that between overall-English-learning self-efficacy and anxiety was negative, particularly for the students in the middle group. Reading anxiety, however, was not correlated with reading proficiency at different levels. Students had the highest level of reading self-efficacy when comparing to the self-efficacy of other language skills. They mostly experienced reading anxiety when reading unfamiliar vocabulary and sentence structures. To conclude, this study can be of importance in understanding the relationship between the three factors and provide language teachers with non-English major students’ sources of reading anxiety. Pedagogical implications are provided for language teachers’ future references.

Published: January 2022

O reservatório San Roque se constitui na principal fonte de água (70%) para a cidade de Córdoba, a segunda maior cidade da Argentina. Analogamente a muitos corpos hídricos do planeta, a grande superfície do reservatório favorece a ocorrência de fenômenos gerados pelo vento. Estes, por sua vez, são quantificados pela distribuição do fetch. Este é o motivo que torna o campo de fetch inovador: permite quantificar os efeitos no corpo hídricos devido à ação do vento. Estes efeitos se manifestam como altura e energia de ondas, seiches, tensões de fundo, transporte de sedimentos, desestratificação térmica e erosões de margens. Por este capítulo é apresentada a análise bidimensional comparativa entre dois importantes métodos de obtenção do fetch. Os métodos foram recomendados em publicações distintas do Shore Protection Manual, sem mencionar as implicações da escolha nas respectivas épocas. A análise comparativa bidimensional foi realizada através da aplicação do modelo computacional ONDACAD. Os mapas de campo de fetch pelos dois métodos revelaram que a localização do maior fetch não é condicionada pelo método adotado. Por ambos os métodos os maiores valores de fetch ocuparam regiões próximas, junto à margem a sotavento. Quanto à distribuição, por um dos métodos foram gerados campos de fetch mais suaves e sem descontinuidades aparentando, mesmo que intuitivamente, ser mais adequado para representar fenômenos como alturas de ondas e seiches. Esses resultados contribuem para a compreensão do comportamento das respostas geradas pelos métodos no espaço bidimensional em corpos hídricos interiores de grande superfície, como baías, lagos, reservatórios.

A importância da navegação na Amazônia é representada pela vasta malha hidroviária que permite ligar pontos equidistantes do país, os quais se deparam com o novo cenário de movimentação das commodities agrícolas rumo ao exterior utilizando essas vias navegáveis através de grandes comboios. E esta ligação do Mato Grosso via terrestre até chegar a Itaituba onde se faz a utilização dos comboios têm sido de grande relevância quando se trata do crescimento da produção agrícola, desenvolvimento das estações de transbordo de carga, portos fluviais e o uso do rio. No intuito de manter a segurança da navegação e promover a economicidade, utilizou-se as metodologias preconizadas pela PIANC (1997 e 2004) para dimensionamento do canal de navegação e buscou-se analisar a largura requerida nos Estreitos de Boiuçu e de Breves, de forma que a largura requerida esteja relacionada ao raio de curvatura e ângulo de deriva. Estas normas apresentam metodologias para o cálculo da largura do canal navegável, profundidade, comprimento mínimo dos trechos retos, raio mínimo das curvas, entre outras recomendações. E para que se possa realizar o dimensionamento da hidrovia é de fundamental importância, o tipo e a dimensão do comboio escolhido, sendo esta observação pontual e necessária para o estudo do dimensionamento do canal de navegação da futura Hidrovia dos Estreitos, onde, neste estudo, verifica-se a largura do canal navegável, boca, comprimento, ângulo, raio de curvatura adequados para que a navegação ocorra com segurança.
Chitosan nanoparticles as a new technique in gene transformation into different plants tissues
Authors: Tawfik Eman , Ahmed Mohamed
Published: January 2022

The utilization of chitosan nanoparticles is a novel technique for gene transformation into plant tissues. It takes a few minutes to transform gene to plant. UidA gene was detected in Escherichia coli (K12 strain) using polymerase chain reaction analysis by UidA-specific primers. The gene was transformed into the explants of two different plant species (Solanum tuberosum and Paulownia tomentosa). These plants have different natures as crop and woody plants respectively. Therefore, they have different abilities to express the UidA gene. The gene is expressed into blue color in plant tissues due to the formation and expression of the GUS enzyme. The transformation of the UidA gene was detected morphologically by the formation of blue color; and molecular using PCR. Chitosan nanoparticles were characterized by UV/Visible spectroscope and photographing with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). As a result of this research, it is suggested that chitosan nanoparticles be used in gene transformation into plant tissues. Because it is safe, quick, and inexpensive, as well as biocompatible and biodegradable.

Published: January 2022

Despite all the advantages of consuming meliponid honey, meliponiculture has not been sufficiently promoted in Argentina yet, and published studies on these species of bees are very scarce. Tetragonisca fiebrigi honey (TfH) or Yateí honey has recently been incorporated into the Argentine food code. This study assesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and acute toxicity by oral administration of TfH in rats. In addition, we present the melissopalynological analysis and physicochemical characterization. High-performance liquid chromatography identifies and quantifies sugars and phenolic compounds. The T. fiebrigi honey analyzed exhibited ABTS•+ and DPPH radical scavenging effect (IC50= 98.28 mg/ml and IC50=337.83 mg/ml, respectively). A significant reduction in hind paw edema (44.44%) was observed in rats pretreated with TfH honey (1000 mg/kg b.w.) 3.0 h after dosing and significantly reduced transudative and granuloma weights at all doses tested (27.34%, 35.53% and 47.53% granuloma inhibition). The TfH honey oral administration produced analgesic responses in the three models used (acetic acid, formalin, tail immersion). Ferulic, ellagic, coumaric, gallic, cinnamic acids and the flavonoids quercetin and hesperetin were identified and quantified. Fructose (40.9%), glucose (29.02%) and sucrose (1.06%) were the main sugars. TfH honey administration did not produce lethal effects or clinical signs of disease in the acute toxicity study. The results showed that T. fiebrigi honey could be a good source of bioactive natural compounds with therapeutic and nutritional value.

Authors: Haritwal Teena , Tiwari Mrinalini , Agrawala Paban
Published: January 2022

Because of our increased dependency on the use of radiation in areas such as the food industry, agriculture, space exploration, diagnostics and treatment of various diseases including cancer, the possibilities of unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation have considerably increased. Hence, there is a need to develop an effective radioprotective agent that can protect against the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation. So far, many synthetic and natural substances studied for use as radioprotectors have failed to reach clinics. Natural compounds are becoming more popular in radiation research due to their low toxicity, higher efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Plants and herbs contain a plethora of bioactive compounds having antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and immunostimulant properties which can act either in isolation or in combination to protect against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation This review mainly focuses on the radioprotective potential of various herbs and plants. The results obtained from various herbal extracts have shown protection against radiation-induced injuries in preclinical studies. This evaluation may help develop a potent radioprotector of desired efficacy.

Published: January 2022

Comparative nutritional analysis of citrus varieties cultivated in Pakistan has not been reported. Citrus is consumed all over the world due to its taste and also has pharmacological components. The present investigation evaluated the antioxidant, reducing power, total flavonoids and phenolics, DPPH free radical scavenging, protein kinase inhibition, and the antimicrobial activities of eight Pakistani citrus varieties. Grapefruit showed maximum total antioxidant potential (77 µg AAE/100 mg), followed by Kinnow and Shakri. Khatai showed maximum reducing power potential (69.6 µg AAE/100 mg) while Shakri and Grapefruit trailed it. All the varieties showed significant DPPH free radical scavenging activity. Maximum total phenolics in citrus juice were found in Shakri and Kinnow; 26.2 and 25.9 µg GAE/100mg, respectively. Variation in total flavonoids content was observed as Kinnow>Grapefruit>Shakri>Khatai. All the citrus juices showed mild to moderate antibacterial activity, while Mosambi and Malta contained potent antifungal components. HPLC analysis of citrus juices revealed that catechin was present in all citrus genotypes except Kinnow. The study concludes that citrus juices contain strong antioxidative potential, bear protein kinase inhibitors and can be used as cancer chemoprevention and supportive nutrition.

Published: January 2022

The menace of drug resistance, bioavailability and drug delivery to the target sites has motivated researchers to search for new antimicrobial agents from medicinal plants and subsequently use them for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles for effective killing of bacteria challenging to kill using crude extracts. The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was done using aqueous extract (AQE) of Euphorbia heterophylla, while characterization and the killing rate of conjugated silver nanoparticles (CAgNPs) were carried out using standard methods. The maximum wavelength obtained for CAgNPs was 410.33 nm, while the size distribution was 237.8 d.nm. The Fourier Transform Infra-Red result showed O-H (3308.94 cm-1), which is responsible for stabilising and reducing silver ions, while the Transmission Electron Microscopy revealed the presence of monodispersed spherical shapes CAgNPs. The Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy confirmed the presence of silver. There were reductions in the clinical bacterial isolates exposed to CAgNPs as the exposure time increased. Escherichia coli was killed between 6-7 h while Salmonella typhimurium was killed at the seven has the value of 0.00 log10 CFU/ml was recorded respectively. However, there were increments in the populations of clinical bacterial isolates in control as the time of exposure increased. Therefore, the study suggests that the CAgNPs exhibit intense antimicrobial activity and the potential to be developed as an alternative agent to treat bacterial infections, curb multidrug-resistant bacterial infection, and promote speedy drug delivery to the target sites.

The increase in Indonesia’s competitiveness ranking in 2018 is one indicator of improving the quality of industry and vocational education in Indonesia. However, the quality of the Indonesian workforce is still not good enough, even declining. The Dual System Education Program at the Vocational High School level is an important factor in solving unemployment problems and improving the quality and competitiveness of human resources in Indonesia. This study uses the correlation of the DSE cost index with the competitiveness index of the manufacturing industry in the provinces of Indonesia. The significant positive correlation between the two variables indicates that an increase in the budget for training and certification costs in Dual System Education in Vocational High Schools will increase business competitiveness in the manufacturing industry sector. In addition, this study also looks at the correlation between the DSE cost index and the open unemployment rate for vocational high school graduates in East Java Province. Both variables show a negative correlation, but not significant. This means that the dual system education budget does not significantly affect the open unemployment rate for vocational high school graduates between districts/cities in East Java Province. Improvements in budget allocations, training, apprenticeship systems, certification, curriculum, and collaboration with the business world in the Dual System Education system (DSE) of Vocational High Schools in East Java Province are expected to be able to make vocational education graduates have competencies that are in line with market demand and are ready to work. work so as to increase the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.

The purpose of this article is to consider the geo-economic prospects of signing the EAEU Free Trade Agreement with Iran. This is especially important for Armenia, which, as a full member of the EAEU, is particularly interested in deepening economic cooperation between Iran and the EAEU. The agreement will not only increase the organization’s turnover, but also turn Armenia into a transit state, which, being the only land country of the EAEU, bordering Iran, will play a key role in the transportation of goods. It is important to note that Iran, which has traditionally been guided by the principle of protectionism (a policy of restricting imports from other countries in order to stimulate the growth of national production) in the face of severe international sanctions, provides customs privileges to the EAEU member countries for about 500 names of products, which can make EAEU products competitive in the Iranian market, therefore. The EAEU’s entry into the Iranian market will further enable to enter the markets of the Middle East. The scientific novelty of the article is to identify the features of the development of the integration process of the EAEU member countries, identify the main problems that arise in the conditions of their integration and justify promising areas of development along with the possibility of cooperation of member countries with other countries trying to build new and mutually beneficial relations within the EAEU.

The information contained in this article is designed to help transgender singers and their voice teachers understand what to expect vocally during initial changes that occur on testosterone therapy in order to build awareness around and facilitate the accommodation of this period of rapid vocal change.
Singing Finnegans Wake: A Key to Samuel Barber’s “Nuvoletta”
Authors: Pollack Howard
Published: January 2022

Samuel’s Barber’s 1947 “Nuvoletta,” the only freestand-ing song of the composer’s maturity, derives its text from the most famously arcane novel in the literary canon, James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake. Musicologist Pollack dissects the text in a literary analysis, but also showing how its vivid imagery and lyric resonance is treated in Barber’s musical setting, thus offering performers crucial preparation for its performance.

Could Sotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody, be helpful in COVID-19 symptoms in cats and ferrets?
Authors: Sayıner Serkan
Published: January 2022

Although the types of coronaviruses seen in animals differ, recent studies have also shown that they are affected by COVID-19, known as SARS-CoV-2. The impact of COVID-19 on animals is a factor that should be followed carefully, especially since different variants appear in humans every day and this disease is transmitted from human to animal. Thanks to vaccination, animals are less affected by different types of coronaviruses. Cats and ferrets are especially affected much more in COVID-19, causing damage to the lungs and other organs. Recently, it has been shown that the use of monoclonal antibodies, especially in the early stages of COVID-19, by people with chronic diseases, positively affects the course of the disease, reduces the frequency of hospitalization and the possibility of falling into intensive care. Sotrovimab is a pan-sarbecovirus monoclonal antibody, and 12-13 studies to date have shown that individuals with chronic disease are less affected when given in the early stages of the disease when the symptoms are mild. We also think that if especially old cats and ferrets are treated with Sotrovimab in the early stages of the disease when they contract COVID-19, it will positively affect the prognosis of the disease.
The Importance of Entrepreneurship in Micro and Small Enterprises in Uncertainty and Barrier Scenarios

Published: January 2022

Economic, political, and technological uncertainties require organizations to prepare adequately for new events that occur each day. Economic crisis, changes in the policies of each country and technological developments are classic examples of these changes in organizations. Seasonality is one of the economic phenomena that occur, and different forms of management are required. The seasonality that is described as a systematic and temporal imbalance of the tourist phenomenon that does not need to be regular, caused by the climate or by the vacation periods, and is based on the consumer behavior that can be expressed in terms of the number of visitors, traffic, highways, jobs, and tickets at attractions. Therefore, through a careful analysis of seasonality, it is possible that the losses are predicted, and the negative impact is not so grotesque on the company. For this, it is good that the manager uses the cost assessment methods to assume the seasonality of sales and thus be able to guard against the negative effects of the same. The objective of this research is to understand how owners of micro and small businesses in coastal cities consider themselves entrepreneurs or not and how they deal with obstacles such as seasonality through cost management. The methodology used was based on an exploratory and bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, seeking to analyze the triad: Entrepreneurship, Seasonality and Cost Management. The field research was applied through a semi-structured questionnaire to the sample of 100 Microentrepreneurs in the trade of goods and services in Caraguatatuba and São Sebastião, central cities of the North Coast of São Paulo. The main results show that most of the interviewed entrepreneurs perceive a certain impact caused by seasonality, understand the use of Cost Management to improve their processes and are adapted to one of the main costing methods highlighted by the bibliography.

This study explored current disciplinary practices by primary school teachers in Eswatini. A missed method design was employed using 48 primary teachers in the Hhohho region in the Kingdom of Eswatini. Instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. Data was collected and analyzed both quantitative and qualitatively. For analyzing data for questionnaires and observation, descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were used and for analyzing data for interviews, thematic analysis was used. The findings of this study indicated that the participants are using guidance and counselling to discipline student as disciplinary measure. The study established that some disciplinary practises are not effective to curb students’ misbehaviour in schools such as corporal punishment and suspension. Conclusions arrived at indicate that public primary schools have adopted the use of guidance and counselling services. Few disciplinary practices were also found to be detrimental to academic performance. Therefore, this study suggested that guidance and counselling training should be given to all teachers. This therefore necessitates further investigation on the use of disciplinary practises and their impact towards the learner behaviour in all the four regions of Eswatini, since this study focuses in one region.

Authors: Kassymov Aidyn , Ruzhansky Michael , Suragan Durvudkhan
Published: January 2022

In this note, we obtain a reverse version of the integral Hardy inequality on metric measure spaces. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the weighted reverse Hardy inequality to be true. The main tool in our proof is a continuous version of the reverse Minkowski inequality. In addition, we present some consequences of the obtained reverse Hardy inequality on the homogeneous groups, hyperbolic spaces and Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.

Authors: Ahamed Molla Basir , Allu Vasudevarao , Halder Himadri
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we investigate the Bohr phenomenon for the class of analytic functions defined on the simply connected domain

\(\Omega_{\gamma}=\bigg\{z\in\mathbb{C} \colon \bigg|z+\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}\bigg|<\frac{1}{1-\gamma}\bigg\}\) for \(0\leq \gamma<1.\)

We study improved Bohr radius, Bohr-Rogosinski radius and refined Bohr radius for the class of analytic functions defined in \(\Omega_{\gamma}\), and obtain several sharp results.
Note on an elementary inequality and its application to the regularity of p-harmonic functions
Authors: Sarsa Saara
Published: January 2022

We study the Sobolev regularity of \(p\)-harmonic functions. We show that \(|Du|^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du\) belongs to the Sobolev space \(W^{1,2}_{\operatorname{loc}}\), \(s>-1-\frac{p-1}{n-1}\), for any \(p\)-harmonic function \(u\). The proof is based on an elementary inequality.
