Wie stellt sich jener Bertold Brecht in dieser vierten Zeile eines Gedichtentwurfs aus dem Jahr 1921 vor, einem Entwurf, der in Zusammenhang mit Brechts bekannterem Gedicht Vom armen B.B. steht? Als Bohemien, in dem sich die bürgerliche Selbstverfasstheit in einem ,,ekstatischen
Lebensstrom“ nach dem Vorbild bekannter Natur- und Stadtapologeten des 19. Jahrhunderts wie W. Whitman, A. Rimbaud und F. Villon auflöst?2 Oder als überaus selbstbewussten Dichter, der vor einer außerordentlichen Karriere steht, der Geschichte schreiben wird,
und der weiß, dass zu beidem nun einmal auch die Speichelleckerei gehört? Brechts frühe Skizze zeigt den prahlenden Angehörigen einer intellektuellen Führungsschicht, der Mitmenschen einer Gefahr zutreibt, der sich bei Vorgesetzten durch Schmeichelei hochdienert.

Published: April 2023

Cultural and educational work was an integral, but relatively independent part of a unique military-historical phenomenon: party-political work, which was successfully carried out in the Armed Forces of the Soviet state throughout their history. In contemporary Russian historiography increased attention to the problem of cultural and educational work in the Red Army (RKKA) since the 1920s to June 1941 was embodied in the corresponding array of historiographic sources. The author of this article analyzes two types of historiographic sources: materials of scientific conferences and articles by Russian researchers published from 2001 to the present. A distinctive feature of contemporary Russian historiography is its exceptionally dynamic and unfinished nature, which left a strong imprint on the materials of scientific conferences and articles by Russian researchers covering a number of aspects of the cultural and educational work in the Red Army. There is a process of overcoming the methodological crisis and the emergence of new theoretical and methodological approaches in Russian historical science.

Authors: Yusufu Faith , Awoyemi Olanike Bosede , Komolafe Kehinde John
Published: April 2023

This study looked at the link connecting the growth of the economy and health spending in Central and Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa. To assess the short and long-term effects of total per capita health expenditure on the growth of the economy across Sub-Saharan African areas (East Africa and Central Africa), the panel data analysis was employed. In the short-term, total per-capita health expenditure (THE_PC) in Central Africa has an upbeat outcome on economic growth (LGDP_PC) at all levels of significance. In the long-term, current health per-capital expenditure (CHE_PC) has an upbeat outcome on the growth of the economy (LGDP_PC) at 5% and 10% significance levels, whereas life expectancy at birth (LEB) has a downbeat outcome on the growth of the economy. In East Africa THE_PC in the short and long-run has a favorable effect on the growth of the economy (LGDP_PC) at 5 and 10% significant levels, whereas CHE_GDP has a downbeat outcome on the growth of the economy (LGDP_PC) at all levels in the long-run. The findings imply that increasing per-capita health spending will boost the growth of the economy in the short term while increasing CHE_PC and LEB will boost economic growth in the long run. More investment in health services is recommended.

Asymmetric Shocks In Oil Price: An Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity Approach
Authors: Nchege Johnson , Aduku Ebikabowei Biedomo
Published: April 2023

This study empirically examined the asymmetric oil price shocks in Nigeria from 1981q1-2019q4 using the Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) model. The EGARCH model was employed to investigate the asymmetric oil price shocks by obtaining the conditional variance from the estimated results. Empirical results revealed a weak indication for leverage effect and a strong indication for asymmetric effect. The positive egarch (L2) coefficient means that unanticipated increases in the price crude Oil are more profitable than unanticipated decreases in the price of crude Oil. Also, the results revealed strong asymmetry of oil price shocks in Nigeria. In specific terms, the positive asymmetric coefficient (1.8276) means an observed tendency of the crude oil price shock to be higher by approximately 1.83 per cent in declining oil prices in the crude oil market than in rising prices in the oil markets. Based on the above, the study recommended appropriate export diversification policies to reduce the dependency on crude oil exports as the major export (revenue) in the economy. This will offset crude oil price shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic shock on Oil price, especially from an unanticipated decrease in crude oil prices in the international market.

Authors: Mbah Catherine Chidinma , Uzonwanne Maria Chinecherem , Adonike Kingsley Chidera , Egbunike Innocent Acho
Published: April 2023

The interconnectivity of global economies has created undue uncertainties in severeal domestic economies. As a result, this paper specifically investigates the trans-Atlantic transmission of interest rate shocks with a view to identifying any macroeconomic concern for Nigeria using Annual time series data from World Bank’s Development Indicators 2020. To achieve the objectives of this study, various econometric tests were carried out on the variables such as the Augmented Dickey- Fuller (ADF) test, variance decomposition test as well as the impulse response test. The impulse response analysis of our VAR model shows that Nigerian variables respond significantly to shocks from foreign variables. The study therefore concluded that shocks in Nigeria are mostly from across the Atlantic. In line with this, the study recommended that monetary authorities in Nigeria should base their policy making on foreign shocks with a view to stabilizing the macroeconomic environment.

Likewise, it also aimed to determine the relationship between the leadership styles of the principals and its current SBM level of practice. The study was undertaken in eleven (11) public secondary schools in Mandaluyong City with fifty-five (55) teacher-respondents who are members of their respective SBM team.
The mixed method design was used in the study. Correlational method of research was used to determine the relationship between the leadership styles and the corresponding current SBM level of practice. Survey questionnaire was utilized to identify the perceived leadership styles demonstrated by the principals in implementing SBM. An interview through focus group discussion was conducted to determine how leadership styles of the school heads affect the implementation of school-based management. As revealed in the results of the study, most of the members of the SBM team in each school perceived that Transformational leadership, Transactional leadership, Strategic leadership, and Democratic leadership are the frequently leadership styles employed by the principals in the implementation of the school-based management.  Likewise, since the computed value 22.00 using the chi-square test is greater than the tabular value 18. 307 at 0.05 alpha and 10 degrees of freedom, the null hypothesis was rejected and concludes that there is a significant relationship between the principals’ leadership style and the status of the SBM level of practice. Most of the participants of the study perceived that leadership styles of the principals directly affect the performance of the whole team in achieving the status of SBM level of practice.

TACIT KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN SMES IN KENYA
Authors: OTUNDO JULIUS
Published: April 2023

According to Michael Polyani (2002), a Hungarian-British polymath, Tacit knowledge is bistructured with conscious and unconscious propositions. He emphasized that all employees needed a combination of theoretical and formal knowledge and experience, intuition, and spontaneous information. In SMEs, tacit knowledge is in the structure and relationship of people. This mixture allows them to know and act within the rules of the organization, and cope with changing conditions flexibly. Going by the established relationship between organizational competitive advantage and tacit knowledge, it is important to understand the tacit knowledge management strategies of the SME sector, which has been confirmed to be a major economic support for nations, irrespective of the development level. In developing countries such as Kenya, SMEs play a significant role in practically all economies, especially, with challenges relating to employment and income distribution (Ozkan et al., 2019, p. 1). In particular, the ability of SMEs in Kenya to compete is crucial to their economic success. Managing tacit knowledge will reduce the negative consequences of losing employees, preserve organizational memory, ensure continuity of performance, and reduce organizational knowledge gaps. These will, in turn, aid organizational competitive advantage (Adesina, A. O & Ochola., 2020). With the above in mind, this paper discusses how SMEs in Kenya presently manage their tacit knowledge focusing on people and processes in order to develop a framework that will support tacit knowledge management. It looks deeper at SMEs as a key component of knowledge management and a matter of management philosophy about knowledge.

Authors: KINGSLEY EKENE EMESI , ADELINE NNE ANYANWU , GABRIEL CHIDI UNACHUKWU
Published: April 2023

Students’ social goal orientation is a strong indicator and facilitator of effective learning. The study aimed to explore the students’ social goal orientation as a predictor of academic achievement in mathematics in Anambra State Nigeria. Four research questions and three null hypotheses were formulated for the study. The study adopted a predictive correlational design. The population comprised 21,204 SS II students from which a sample of 1500 was drawn using the multi-stage procedure to select the sample. A standardized research instrument such as; Social Goal Orientation Questionnaire (SGOQ) was used for data collection. Students’ mathematics achievement scores from the state-wide promotion examination were used to represent mathematics achievement. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine the reliability of the items in the instruments. Reliability indices were .82, for social affiliation, .79, for social approval, .68, for social concern, .87, for social responsibility, and .69 for social status. Standard multiple regression was used to analyze the collected data. Research question 1 was answered using multiple regression. Research question 2 was answered using unstandardized β. Research question 3 was answered using adjusted R2. Research question 4 was answered using standardized β. The null hypothesis 1 was tested using F-test for the regression model. The null hypothesis 2 was tested using a t-test for adjusted R2. The null hypothesis 3 was tested using a t-test for β at a .05 level of significance. Findings from the study indicated that social status goal orientation is the most predictor of students’ academic achievement when compared with the other dimensions of social goal orientation. Also, the analysis of variance indicated that the regression equation was statistically significant F(5, 1492) = 2.279, p < .05. This implies that at least one of the independent variables significantly predicted academic achievement in mathematics. Based on these findings, it was recommended that, despite the advances in social goal orientation research, further research is still needed to clarify the significance of this adaptive motivational construct in human development and also map out its’ nomological network that could lead to acceptable academic outcomes among the Nigerian students.

PROBLEMS OF REFUNDING OVERPAID RECYCLING FEE
FOR SELF-PROPELLED VEHICLES
Authors: Yakunin D. V.
Published: April 2023

On the basis of a specific court case, the problem of the refusal of customs authorities to return the paid recycling fee for imported self-propelled vehicles is considered. When determining the obligation to pay the recycling fee, the customs authorities are guided solely by the product code of the unified Commodity Nomenclature for Foreign Economic Activity of the Eurasian Economic Union, ignoring the actual characteristics of the imported self-propelled vehicle.
ON SOME PECULIARITIES OF ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN LAW WORDS:
LINGUOCULTUROLOGY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Ushakova I. B.
Published: April 2023

The article presents reflections based on a comparison of some English and Russian law words groups. The words under consideration cause no difficulties for translation but they are interesting for analysis in terms of the linguoculturological approach which highlights the importance of the idea that a language is a reflection of the character, the worldview of the people and their history. A special focus of the compared words analysis is on the application of certain lexical items cultural development principle. The practical significance of the observations presented in the article lies in the fact that they can be used during practical classes of a university course "English for Law".
Emission Line Profile Variations in the Early Coronal Phase of the Nova V2944 Ophiuchi
Authors: Rudy Richard J. , Russell Ray W. , Sitko Michael L.
Published: April 2023

V2944 Ophiuchi was a Fe ii type novae that reached moderate excitation and displayed large variations among the profiles of its emission lines. The profiles become increasingly double-peaked as the ionization level of the parent ion increases. At the extremes, H i and O i have flat-topped profiles while the coronal features [Si vii] and [Ca viii] peak in the line wings and have centers that fall to near the continuum level. He ii, N v, and [Si vi] display intermediate behavior but in the same sense that the line center depth is smallest for He ii and largest for [Si vi. A possible explanation for these profile variations is that the emission line region is ring-like in structure and becomes increasingly flattened as line excitation increases.

Microsatellite loci were screened from the genomic data of Dysomma anguillare and their composition and distribution were analysed by bioinformatics for the first time. The results showed that 4,060,742 scaffolds with a total length of 1,562 Mb were obtained by high-throughput sequencing and 1,160,104 microsatellite loci were obtained by MISA screening, which were distributed on 770,294 scaffolds. The occurrence frequency and relative abundance were 28.57% and 743/Mb, respectively. Amongst the six complete microsatellite types, dinucleotide repeats accounted for the largest proportion (592,234, 51.05%), the highest occurrence frequency (14.58%) and the largest relative abundance (379.27/Mb). A total of 1488 microsatellite repeats were detected in the genome of D. anguillare, amongst which the hexanucleotide repeat motifs were the most abundant (608), followed by pentanucleotide repeat motifs (574), tetranucleotide repeat motifs (232), trinucleotide repeat motifs (59), dinucleotide repeat motifs (11) and mononucleotide repeat motifs (4). The abundance of microsatellites of the same repeat type decreased with the increase of copy numbers. Amongst the six types of nucleotide repeats, the preponderance of repeated motifs are A (191,390, 43.77%), CA (150,240, 25.37%), AAT (13,168, 14.05%), CACG (2,649, 8.14%), TAATG (119, 19.16%) and CCCTAA (190, 19.16%, 7.65%), respectively. The data of the number, distribution and abundance of different types of microsatellites in the genome of D. anguillare were obtained in this study, which would lay a foundation for the development of high-quality microsatellite markers of D. anguillare in the future.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of early-life host specific probiotic and lactoferrin (LF) supplementations on diarrhoea incidence, iron (Fe)-zinc (Zn) balance and antioxidant capabilities in serum of neonatal piglets. A total of eight sow litters obtained from parity matched sows were randomly divided into four groups and assigned to one of the four interventions: control (2.0 ml normal saline), bovine lactoferrin (bLF) (100 mg bLF in normal saline), probiotic (Pb) (1×109cfu of swine originPediococcus acidilacticiFT28 strain) and bLF+Pb (both 100 mg bLF and 1×109cfu ofP. acidilacticiFT28). All the piglets received supplementations once daily orally for first 7 days of life. The incidence of diarrhoea markedly decreased in bLF group compared to control group. Notably, no incidences of diarrhoea were recorded in Pb and bLF+Pb groups. The Zn and Fe concentrations were significantly increased from day 7 to 21 in bLF and on day 21 in bLF+Pb group. No such changes were noted in Pb group. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in serum was significantly increased on days 7 and 15 in bLF group and on days 7 and 21 in bLF+Pb group. Malonaldehyde concentration was markedly reduced from day 7 to 21 in bLF and bLF+Pb groups. The concentrations of nitrate on days 15 and 21 and malonaldehyde on day 7 were significantly higher in Pb group, but mean TAC was unaltered from day 0 to 21. Although no correlation between the incidence of diarrhoea and Zn/Fe and oxidant/antioxidant homeostasis was noted in the Pb group, the supplementation ofP. acidilacticiFT28 alone was sufficient to prevent the incidence of diarrhoea in neonatal piglets. Taken together, it is concluded that strategic supplementation ofP. acidilacticiFT28 in early life could help in preventing diarrhoea until weaning of piglets.
