Published: May 2022

There are many determining factors that can be considered as the main cause of success and failure of a certain person in life which is full of challenges. And those who never care for the certain causes of their failure will fall, meanwhile those who want to learn the causes of their failure will rise. It seems so simple if just talk about ‘realize’, but in this context is the person who realizes and determines to change the causes, or at least to suppress them so that they will not be the influential elements for certain failure. “Several critics have pointed to the classical tragic shape of ‘The Mayor of Casterbridge’. It is the story of the rise and fall of a man of character, a man flawed in certain destructive ways; his story is confined in space and time: there clear echoes of Greek tragedy and of King Lear

Authors: AS Afrilia , AM St. Asriati , Ariana Ariana , AM St. Asmayanti
Published: May 2022

This study used qualitative research that consisted of ten students from senior high school in Luwu. To determine the extrinsic motivation when the students learn from home, the students answered the interview that consisted of ten items. The study discovered that learning English at home makes children sluggish and that their drive to learn lowers due to their surroundings, teachers, and parents. On the environmental side, disruptions at home, such as the sound of chickens, televisions, car horns, or the unsettling sounds of motorcycles, are common when beginning lessons. On the teacher's side, most teachers give students assignments without thoroughly explaining the material, causing students to be sluggish about taking home lessons, particularly in English subjects. Because they are lazy, teachers are ineffective at carrying out their responsibilities by satisfying the needs of children. Physiological demands, the market to be accepted and loved, the need for self-esteem, and the need for self-realization are all examples. When studying at home, their children's interest in learning is stifled by the lack of parental attention. Children feel abandoned when their parents are preoccupied with their professions. Parents and families must be there for this condition, especially during the learning period. The necessity of parents and families to participate actively in their children's education is vital, especially during a pandemic when teachers and educational facilities are restricted.

European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus, Walbaum, 1792), Golden grey mullet (Liza aurata, Risso 1810), and Common sole (Solea solea, Quensel, 1806) are the commercially important fish species caught by trawl and purse seine in Mersin Bay, in the Mediterranean. This study was aimed to investigate proximate compositions, carbohydrate levels, energy contents, fatty acid profiles, and the lipid quality indexes of European pilchard, Golden grey mullet, and Common sole caught by trawl. The crude protein, lipid, moisture, and ash content were determined as proximate compositions. The protein levels were determined as the highest levels in sardine (24.08%) followed by the common sole (18.91%) and golden grey mullet (18.01%). An inverse correlation between the moisture contents and the lipid levels among the fish was observed in this study. The ash levels, carbohydrate values, and energy contents were in the following order: European pilchard > Golden grey mullet > Common sole. Palmitic acid (C16:0) and oleic acid (C18:1n9) were the highest level of fatty acids in SFA (saturated fatty acids) and MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids) for the Golden grey mullet and Common sole, respectively. The levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in all fish used in this study were found to be different from each other (P<0.05). The amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were lower than that of EPA in European pilchard and Golden grey mullet. Although the levels of EPA and DHA in fish are found to be in the range of 4.91 - 11.01% and 6.85 - 8.87%, respectively and different from each other, these two fatty acids are good for health.

How did armed forces behave in response to dissent, political instability and territorial disintegration during the collapse of the Soviet Union? To date, substantial attention has been cast on the 1991 August coup attempt, yet our understanding of other potential instances of defection remains incomplete. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of defection throughout 15 Soviet republics. Results reveal that 13 republics experienced subordinates defecting and three experienced commanders defecting. In total, four different pathways led to defection. These findings produce the first comparative observations of defection in this historical time period and lend support to the claim that this phenomenon is equifinal in nature.

El tratamiento hormonal que reciben los hombres transexuales tiene entre sus efectos la masculinización de la voz. El objetivo de esta investigación es medir la mediana de la frecuencia fundamental en el habla (Mf0) en hombres transexuales en distintas etapas de su tratamiento hormonal y determinar si existe una alta correlación entre este parámetro y el número de dosis recibidas.

Utilizando Praat se obtuvo el valor de la Mf0 de una serie automática de palabras, su valor mínimo, máximo y rango. Grupo 1: sujetos con 11 o menos dosis de testosterona. Grupo 2: sujetos con 12 o más dosis.

Los valores encontrados son comparables con los esperados para hombres no transgéneros. No se encontraron diferencias significativas respecto a la Mf0, Mf0min, Mf0máx y rango, al comparar los grupos 1 y 2. Existe una correlación baja entre el número de dosis y la Mf0.

Existe una asociación entre el tratamiento hormonal y la masculinización de la voz, sin embargo, no existe evidencia que señale que a mayor número de dosis de hormonas exista una mayor masculinización de la voz. Se necesita realizar nuevas investigaciones con población más grande para verificar estos resultados.

This study investigates how socioeconomic, environmental, and institutional variables affect the growth of cattle ranching in the state of Pará, Brazilian Amazon. Covering the period from 1995 to 2019, we used an econometric model based on the Ordinary Least Squares method. Resultingly, we found that the price of fat cattle and the supply of rural credit exert a positive effect on herd growth. The deforestation rates are directly associated with herd expansion. More precisely, the variable for the deforestation rate, lagged by two periods, significantly impacts herd increment in the present time. Furthermore, a essential step towards increasing the cattle herd was the creation of the Agricultural Defense Agency of the state of Pará. Overall, this study shows that the expansion of cattle ranching in Pará is a multivariate phenomenon determined by socioeconomic, environmental, and institutional dynamics of the regional and national economies.

Оценить распространенность глаукомы нормального напряжения в Казахстане с использованием результатов Государственной программы скрининга. Материалы и методы. 1 806 876 участников в возрасте 40-70 лет прошли скрининговые обследования на предмет выявления глаукомы. Кроме того, измерение внутриглазного давления (ВГД) с помощью аппланационной тонометрии с использованием тонометра Маклакова под местной анестезией проводилось вместе с другими офтальмологическими исследованиями: визометрией, авторефрактометрией, компьютерным исследованием поля зрения, наблюдением переднего и заднего сегментов глаза при щелевой лампе и оценкой диска зрительного нерва с помощью прямой офтальмоскопии. Результаты. Была исследована распространенность различных типов глаукомы, включая первичную открытоугольную глаукому (POUG), первичную закрытоугольную глаукому (PACG) и глаукому нормального напряжения (NTG), с особым акцентом на последнем. НТГ был обнаружен у 10 711 респондентов, что составляет 0,6% от всех участников с нормальным или более низким ВГД. Выводы. В этой статье было продемонстрировано исследование распространенности НТГ, и более чем у 10 тысяч человек была диагностирована глаукома нормального или низкого напряжения в соответствии с результатами Государственной программы скрининга.

Resume: To assess the prevalence of normal-tension glaucoma in Kazakhstan using the results of the State Screening program. Materials and methods. 1 806 876 participants aged 40-70 years underwent screening examinations for the detection of glaucoma.

Стремительно растущий автопарк современных городов ведет к загрязнению атмосферы соединениями свинца, что делает актуальным поиск путей коррекции его негативного влияния на организм. С этой целью с помощью общепринятых методик было изучено влияние фитопрепарата биофениколя на параметры антиоксидантной системы крови экспериментальных крыс, в течение 50 суток интрагастрально получавших ацетат свинца. Результаты исследования подтвердили антиоксидантные свойства биофениколя, вероятнее всего, связанные с входящей в его состав глицирризиновой кислотой. Полученные данные обусловливают в дальнейшем возможность применения биофениколя для коррекции нарушений в организме при свинцовой интоксикации.

The rapidly growing number of vehicles in modern cities leads to air pollution with lead compounds, which makes it urgent to find ways to correct its negative impact on the body. For this purpose, generally accepted methods used to study the effect of the biophenikol, a herbal medicine, on the parameters of the antioxidant system of the experimental rats’ blood, which received lead acetate intragastrically for 50 days. The results of the study confirmed the antioxidant properties of biophenikol. These outcomes most likely were associated with glycyrrhizic acid contained in the tested medicine. The data obtained predetermine the further possibility of using biophenikol to correct disorders in the body associated with lead intoxication.
