Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)’s evolution revealed that its mutation causes cystic fibrosis
Authors: Bai Duo
Published: December 2023

Cystic fibrosis ( CF ) is a hereditary disease that can lead to death, mainly caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ). These mutations exhibit varying mechanisms and severity levels, posing a challenge for understanding their impact. Here, we hypothesized that mutations occurring in functionally important, conserved regions of the CFTR protein might lead to more severe CF phenotypes, while mutations in other domains may be less harmful. To identify these crucial regions, we conducted a survey of amino acid substitutions in CFTR across primates and non-primate mammals. Intriguingly, we found that most naturally occurring substitutions clustered within two CFTR domains, which paradoxically lacked CF-causing mutations. In contrast, CF mutations in humans are mainly located in the relatively conserved regions of CFTR, namely transmembrane domain 1 ( TMD1) and nucleotide binding domain 1 ( NBD1 ). This study presents the distribution of naturally occurring substitutions, and our findings provides a unique perspective for inferring and predicting disease-causing genetic variations by analyzing evolutionary trends.
Knowledge graph construction and visualization analysis of coal mine accident safety management research based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer
Authors: Yu Zemao
Published: December 2023

Although the coal mining industry has implemented mechanization and automation, frequent coal mine accidents still occur, making coal mine safety a primary concern. To gain a comprehensive understanding of global progress in preventing coal mine accidents and managing safety, we utilized the Web of Science database (WOS) as our sample source. With the support of CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, we constructed a knowledge graph depicting publication numbers, research institutions, and keyword clustering to visually analyze coal mine accident prevention and safety management. Our research reveals that this field has undergone three stages of development: initial growth, steady progress, and rapid advancement. Particularly noteworthy is the current golden age of rapid development from 2018 to 2023 which has garnered significant attention from researchers. In terms of author collaboration networks, notable contributors with high publication rates and citation counts include Wu Qiang, Liu Quanlong, et al. Regarding institutional cooperation networks, major research institutions such as China University of Mining & Technology, Shandong University of Science & Technology, and Anhui University are actively engaged in important scientific research related to coal mining. Through keyword clustering analysis based on relevant literature review, it is evident that research on coal mine safety management primarily focuses on high-frequency keywords such as "coal and gas outburst","risk assessment" and "coal miners" By extracting the top nine emergent keywords with high-intensity levels and arranging them chronologically according to their emergence year, the evolution pattern over time was obtained for emergent words. Furthermore, it was observed that emerging keywords like "China", "subsidence" and "workers" have also gained increasing attention during this period.
Anodic protection strategy for zinc ion batteries
Authors: Yan Haixin , Xia Xixian
Published: December 2023

With the advent of the national dual-carbon strategy, there is a burgeoning demand for large-scale energy storage systems within the national grid. Nevertheless, lithium-ion batteries have been constrained in large-scale energy storage systems due to their limitations, encompassing scarce raw materials, diminished safety profiles, and environmental concerns. In recent years, zinc-ion batteries have emerged as the most promising option for large-scale energy storage systems, owing to their cost-effectiveness, heightened safety attributes, substantial theoretical capacity, and environmental compatibility. Nonetheless, zinc anodes continue to grapple with significant challenges, including dendrite growth, corrosion passivation, and the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER), which impede the progressive advancement of zinc-ion battery anodes. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the principal failure modes and mechanisms inherent to zinc anodes derived from an in-depth analysis of their associated issues. Furthermore, it systematically reviews the primary strategies for modifying zinc-negative electrodes, encompassing diaphragm modifications, electrolyte additives, and anode modifications. This endeavor aims to offer insights and support for enhancing zinc-ion battery anodes.

Authors: ANILKUMAR R , IYUE M , PREMA N , SREEKUMAR C
Published: December 2023

Ultrasound scanning is one of the methods to diagnose pregnancy and it also helps in identifying twin bearing ewes, which requires special care during the last stages of pregnancy. Thirty-six ewes were examined by rectal probe and 493 ewes were examined with trans-abdominal probe. Sequential scanning with rectal probe from 3–6 weeks of pregnancy revealed very clear fetal movements and heart beat at fifth week. Using trans-abdominal probe 451 ewes out of 493 ewes scanned were diagnosed as pregnant with 23 of them showing twin pregnancy. Accuracy of identifying pregnant ewes at 60–75 days of pregnancy was 98.00% with 2.00% false positive cases. The accuracy of identifying twin was 69.97% and was more in Nilagiri ewes. No twin was diagnosed in Dorset Nilagiri cross ewes. Those ewes which were diagnosed to have twins were given additional concentrate feeding and all of them survived and gave birth to twin except one which had still born twin lambs.

Published: December 2023

An epidemiological study was conducted to determine the prevalence of various disease conditions among commercial layer flocks in the mining area of northern Karnataka. Flocks — 3 younger and 9 adult— showing poor performance were chosen from 6 different multiage commercial layer farms in the mining area for the study. Flock details including, breed, age, clinical history, mortality pattern, body weights and egg production were systematically recorded. In addition, ND-HI titers, IBD and IBV ELISA antibody titers and trace elements (iron, manganese, lead and cadmium) concentrations in feed, water and tissue samples, gross and microscopic lesions were studied. The study revealed gizzard erosion with cumulative mortality of 8.72, 8.3 and 16.83% in 3 flocks aged 2, 4 and 5 weeks, respectively. Anorexia, uneven growth, dullness, 26.83–48.19% lower body weights, droopy wings, ruffled feathers, pasty vents and penguin posture were the predominant clinical signs observed. Feed samples revealed Fe, Mn, Pb and Cd at 1,100–1,200, 240–340, 4.8–5.2 and 0.0–0.16 ppm, respectively; however water samples did not reveal any abnormality. The liver, kidney and gizzard tissues had higher levels of Fe, Mn, Pb and Cd. The study indicated that exposure to higher levels of Fe and Pb trace elements induced oxyradical cell injury leading to immunosuppression and gizzard erosion.

Published: December 2023

Two percent of the dogs with ascites of hepatic insufficiency were recorded. Decline in the values of Hb, PCV, RBCs and increased TLC and prothrombin time were recorded. Hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia with elevated bilirubin and liver enzymes were observed. Abdominal ultrasound revealed anechoic structure with focal and diffused hyper echoic, cirrhosis of liver and gall bladder disorders were recorded. Ascitic fluid was clear/transudate with a few mesothelial cells, lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils in most of the ascitic dogs. Decreased serum total protein, albumin and elevated serum ALT, AST, ALP, total bilirubin, prolonged prothrombin time and SAAG was good indicator for diagnosis of ascites due to HBD. Ascitic fluid analysis and serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) may be a key indicator for diagnose etiopathogenesis of ascites in dog.

Authors: ZHANG S , KIM I H
Published: December 2023

The experiment was conducted to observe the effects of dietary supplementation with Cr-Met supplementation on growth performance, relative organ weight, immune hormones, and meat quality in broilers under heat stress. Male broilers (672; BW = 46±5 g) were randomly allotted into one of the following 4 dietary treatments: (1) CON (basal diet), (2) C1 (basal diet + 20 mg/kg Cr-Met), (3) C2 (basal diet + 30 mg/kg Cr-Met), (4) C3 (basal diet + 50 mg/kg Cr-Met). Organic chromium in the form of Cr-Met was used. From d 8 to 21, BW gain was greater in C1 diet, and FCR was better in C2 and C3 treatments than in CON diet. The birds fed diets supplemented with Cr-Met had higher WBC and RBC level at 30 days old compared with those fed CON diet. The parameters of drop loss at 7 days, the highest presented in C2 diets, the lowest appeared in C1 diets. As the concentrations of adding Cr-Met increasing, the L (lightness) of meat was greater. We are able to observe the highest a (redness) in C1 diets, the lowest a in C3 diets, respectively. In addition, no distinctions were discovered from the data of hormones (BUN, creatinine, lymphocyte) and relative organ weights (spleen, liver breast, bursa of Fabrious, gizzard), abdominal fat and the pH of meat. In conclusion, Cr-Met fed in diets is beneficial for growth performance, immunity, under heat stress conditions. Besides, it had some effects on meat color and drop loss.
Changes in haematology, blood mineral profile, ultra structure and superoxide dismutase activities in erythrocytes in hypophosphetemic buffaloes given excess molybdenum
Authors: SHARMA A K , RANDHAWA S N S , UPPAL S K , RANJAN R
Published: December 2023

Phosphorus deficiency in buffaloes resulted into development of macrocytic, normochromic anaemia with significant decline in haemoglobin, packed cell volume and total erythrocyte count. Erythrocytic superoxide dismutase activity was markedly decreased in hypophosphataemic animals given excess molybdenum (T2) in comparison to hypophosphataemic animals not given molybdenum (T3). Scanning electron microscopy of erythrocytes in both T2 and T3 animals showed presence of spherocytes, discocytes and slight membrane corrugations; while erythrocytes in healthy control (T1) appeared biconcave with mild poikilocytosis. From the present study it can be concluded that phosphorus deficiency induces ultrastructural abnormalities in erythrocyte, which is further aggravated by excess molybdenum supplementation. Increased oxidative damage may contribute structural changes in phosphorus deficiency and molybdenum toxicity.
SERVICE-LEARNING ȘI EDUCAȚIA PENTRU VIITOR. ABORDĂRI ȘI PERSPECTIVE DIDACTICE ACTUALE
Authors: OROS MIHAELA
Published: December 2023

Starting from Spiru Haret’s statement, we, the teachers, are constantly concerned about the novelties that come on the education system and how we cope with the changes in the current society. When we think about the future of education, we wonder how we can prepare ourselves permanently but also how we can prepare our students/students to integrate into a constantly changing world. As the world becomes an increasingly interconnected place, we are challenged by new scenarios that require new knowledge and skills “multidimensional, transversal, polydisciplinary, transnational”. One of the main concerns of the school in the 21st century is to participate alongside other institutions in the formation of an active, democratic, multicultural society that promotes true values, more acceptance, tolerance, good understanding among people. In this regard, many educational institutions around the world have begun, in recent decades, to adopt educational policies that build support bridges between schools/universities and the community by promoting skills: “to learn to know,” “to learn to be,” “to learn to do,” “to learn to live with others.” Thus, service-learning pedagogy penetrates more and more into the Romanian education system, even if at times this type of pedagogy is viewed with mistrust by teachers or parents, who express fears that students “lose time” in the idea in which they have to take standardised exams where the emphasis is placed on memory and cognitive learning. Service-learning projects involve actions in the educational, but also social spheres, based on the notion that community and civic involvement can be innovative means of applying theoretical content, complementing the range of competences and skills and modifying attitudes. These projects are led by students and allow collaboration between educational institutions and the community through the active participation of students in solving concrete problems of the current society.
EVALUAREA IN PROIECTAREA CURRICULARĂ INVERSĂ
Authors: Lungu Iuliana
Published: December 2023

The underlying principle of the present paper is the active learning supported by various strategies, methods and techniques for empowering students to develop their critical thinking and participate in directing their own knowledge acquisition. In this sense, backward course design creates the illustrative framework for an innovative pedagogy by planning assessment first, then the learning experience and teaching activities, having in view the main goal, i.e. students' understanding of the big ideas (the moral of the story of the course/learning unit), which can then be autonomously transferred to other real-world learning contexts. The basic rationale of this paper is to present the instructional model of backward course design of learning experiences, highlighting assessment modalities. To construct an authentic assessment, we employed with the students at our university the GRASPS model, a form of assessment that engages learners to use their thinking skills and demonstrate the application of essential knowledge, conceptual understanding and skills acquired throughout a unit of learning.
EDUCAȚIA RELIGIOASĂ - NOI PROVOCĂRI ÎN ERA DIGITALĂ
Authors: MARȚIAN NICOLETA , MARTIN RODICA
Published: December 2023

Taking an overview of the context in which we live our lives, we can easily observe that we are constantly facing the challenges of a changing world. Particularly in the case of young people, we notice prominent differences, primarily because they belong to the generation of modern technology and the virtual world. We are witnessing a rapid transition from face-to-face human interactions to the digital universe, through the use of tablets and smartphones, where time and space take on new meanings, and interpersonal relationships may not be as effective and transparent. The religious aspect justifies its importance within the spectrum of educational sciences by addressing the need for meaning in life, which in turn contributes to a sense of security and self-esteem as a protective factor for individuals. In the current context, marked by cultural and religious diversity, religious sensitivity in education prepares the younger generations to transcend their own boundaries. It becomes a gateway to understanding religious diversity and the experiences that stem from it.
Philosophical conceptions and their applications in the degree course in physical education: A case study

Published: December 2023

The transformations of knowledge are the object of study of different pedagogies that aim to contribute to the formation, especially of the human one, of the individual. It is no different with Philosophy. This area of knowledge seeks ways - pedagogical alternatives - for the teaching-learning process, in Higher Education to become understandable both for students, especially in the Physical Education course, since they prioritize only the technical-practical aspect. Thus, it is stated that the object of the discipline of Philosophy in the Physical Education Course is, essentially, to constitute the connection of the game and sport to the body and movement.

This lecture reveals the role of waqf endowments in contributing to preserving heritage manuscripts and libraries. It assumes that the objectives for endowing manuscripts and libraries as waqf in Islamic civilisation are embodied in four higher aims, namely: (i) gaining reward from Allah, the Almighty, by making manuscripts containing beneficial knowledge available to all, for Allah’s sake; this objective, in itself, illustrates the philosophy on knowledge and learning in our civilisation. (ii) Propagating the sciences, and building the society of knowledge to the greatest extent possible, as evidenced by the generality of manuscript endowments terms, and freedom from any conditions denying them to students of knowledge. (iii) Preserving the intellectual property rights, literary and moral, of the owners of the manuscripts and books, but not to transform these rights into money in the hands of the author or his heirs; rather for knowledge to reach those seeking it, and those equipped to fulfil its due right, whether the scholar’s progeny, relatives, or others. (iv) Enabling the contribution of manuscripts, books, and libraries to the service of public faculties of Islamic law (sharī‘ah); particularly, in protecting religion and intellect, through transmitting and cementing the fundamentals of religion, refuting specious claims against it, and spurring creative jurisprudential effort (ijtihād) and renewal (tajdīd), novel contributions, and advances to confront and overcome the challenges of reality. The lecture also reveals the role of jurisprudents (sing. faqīh) in developing the legal process for endowing manuscripts—considering these as movable assets, and allowing their waqf endowment by way of juristic preference (istiḥsān). The lecturer linked the creative jurisprudential rulings related to protecting the waqf endowment of manuscripts, books and intellectual property rights on one hand, and modern and contemporary laws on protection of intellectual property that have attached this protection to world trade agreements, on the other hand. He called for the renewal of legislative frameworks in Muslim countries, as an obligation, to secure protection of our heritage—manuscripts, and the diverse knowledge repositories, and energise their renaissance role, through a progressive and global civilising vision.

This case study aims to evaluate the impact of an afterschool physical activity (PA) program integrated with mathematics on elementary school students’ Body Mass Index (BMI), fitness levels, and comprehension of geometry concepts–a recommended strategy for preventing child obesity. Utilizing descriptive statistics and t-tests, the study analyzes pre- and post-geometry assessments and FITNESSGRAM® assessments. Despite no significant weight change, the findings reveal improved cognitive understanding of geometry concepts and enhanced fitness levels. This research contributes valuable evidence supporting the positive effects of integrating PA into math learning environments, particularly benefiting low socioeconomic status (SES) and underrepresented children, addressing the decline in both physical activity and math performance during childhood.
The Development Of Alternative Tourism In Tunisia: Innovate Or Disappear"! An Example Of Saharan Tourism
Authors: Elfaleh Imed
Published: December 2023

The Tunisian tourist offer has long been standardized and focused on a coastal product. Tourism institutions and actors have shown efforts to diversify this offer, particularly by introducing alternative tourism such as Saharan tourism, where local development's geographical, tourist, and socio-economic opportunities seem obvious. Tourism is one of the world's most important economic activity, having significant economic growth potential for emerging and least developed countries. However, in its current incarnations, it is controlled by foreign operators, and its focus on coastal tourism is unfavorable. In order to attain growth, the nation must develop its travel offerings using a variety of strategies, such as improvement of current solutions, positioning the offer as having value, and surprise the customer. Innovation requires specialized marketing, as it requires defining or redefining the activity, developing or revising the offer, analyzing the competition, and understanding the new customer behavior. However, the results expected from such a policy remained insufficient and concluded that while desert tourism is meant to be a by-product of coastal tourism, coastal tourism still predominates in Tunisia. Saharan tourism is defined as a "desert" product, similar to thalassotherapy and golf. It serves as a way for guests who have travelled to the coast to extend their stay. Saharan tourism remained a complementary product (complementation to the sea through circuits towards the Sahara). This work aims to include how the Sahara and these regions can become fully-fledged tourist destinations.
Entrepreneurs Versus Established Companies: Who Are the Real Job Creators?
Authors: H. Friar John , Zaarour Nizar , Bargal Basma
Published: December 2023

An important question in economic development is who is responsible for creating more jobs: startups or established companies. Several researchers have claimed that entrepreneurs are responsible for most job creation, while others have found that it is the established companies. This becomes important in deciding which policy approaches to pursue: recruiting large companies to relocate with different financial and economic inducements or by relying on entrepreneurship. In this paper we perform a statistical analysis of job creation by entrepreneurs versus established companies. We use a data set that covers a larger time period than other studies, includes all industries and non-employers, and follows individual companies. We find that over the whole time period that established companies generated the greater number of jobs. However, in shorter time periods the entrepreneurs did. This may help in explaining some of the prior contradictory findings. But from a policy perspective, the findings suggest that both approaches are necessary.

Authors: Allaka Prasant , Awopetu Lawrence , Tiwari Kamlesh
Published: December 2023

As the higher education landscape evolves, universities continuously seek innovative methods to enrich student learning experiences and equip them with valuable skills for their future careers. However, the effectiveness of such integration demands rigorous evaluation and validation. Educators and researchers are turning to randomized controlled trials (RCTs), a robust methodological approach borrowed from clinical trials and social sciences, to address this need. This research study aims to assess the impact of adding a skill-driven certification program (MS-Excel) to a Historical Black College and University (HBCU) course curriculum using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. The study involves two groups of students, each subjected to different incentive methods. Group A is required to complete the certification as part of their coursework, while Group B is offered bonus points contingent upon successfully obtaining the certification. Rigorous statistical methodologies, such as descriptive and inferential statistics, were used to depict the research outcome thoroughly. To conclude, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and Chi-Square methods are used. The finding from the study showed that the treatment group showed a better result with the intervention than the control group.

The post-modern transformation of society painfully impacted religion. In this case, the religious mainstream changes drastically. Accordingly, mass culture becomes dominant in post-modern society. Rejection of “the great narratives” – and religion is one type of such great narratives, - entailed desacralization of religion and caused virtualization and profanation of the religious life which resulted in the cynical and contemptuous attitude to the radiational religious life, etc. All the stated, according to religious interpretation are signs of the apocalyptic society. In this case, the issue concerning the role of religion in the socius of this type becomes actual. And it is the main issue in this sociological sketch.
Loss Aversion in Women’s Professional Golf: Results from the 2023 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, California
Authors: Bukszar Ed
Published: December 2023

There have been three significant loss-aversion studies involving professional golfers; all focused exclusively on men. Each study found significant loss aversion in these real-world settings, in response to suggestions that loss aversion would disappear if the stakes were high enough and decision makers had a chance to learn from previous mistakes. Together, these three studies cast significant doubts on the validity of those caveats. But they also beg the question: How would results for professional women golfers compare? The current study focuses on loss aversion in women’s professional golf in what was the highest-staked competition in Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) history: the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach, California. Results from that within-subject study, reported herein, show similar levels of loss aversion, and at a highly significant level. Implications are discussed.

Published: December 2023

Atrair e reter os profissionais da geração Z é de extrema importância para as organizações, porém pode ser um tanto complexo para as organizações entenderem essa nova geração, pois, além de criar um equilíbrio entre as gerações é preciso que as organizações entendam os anseios da geração Z para assim atrair e reter esses talentos na organização. Assim, surge a necessidade de adaptação das empresas com a entrada da geração Z devido a diversidade de gerações presentes dentro do ambiente organizacional. Para manter o equilíbrio com a geração Z é necessário avaliar suas habilidades de forma que sejam complementares as habilidades das gerações anteriores tirando o melhor das gerações e aplicando seus resultados dentro da organização, mas atrair os jovens da geração Z requer dinamismo, pois uma empresa flexível e inovadora tem grandes chances de atrair os jovens utilizando da tecnologia na seleção através de realidade virtual e técnicas de gamificação e também dos diferenciais que ela oferece, não só tangíveis, mas principalmente os intangíveis. As grandes empresas em sua maioria aparentam já estar preparadas para receber a geração Z em seu ambiente de trabalho, como exemplo podemos citar a Apple e a Google. Este paper tem como objetivo avaliar se as organizações estão preparadas para atrair e reter os talentos da geração Z, como atrair e reter essa geração, identificando a diversidade de gerações e o equilíbrio com a geração Z, elencando os desafios e benefícios gerados nas organizações para compreender seus conceitos e importância.

Published: December 2023

Latar belakang: Infeksi menular seksual (IMS) merupakan infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri, virus, maupun parasit yang sebagian besar ditularkan melalui hubungan seksual secara vaginal, anal, atau oral. Prevalensi IMS di seluruh dunia diperkirakan mencapai 333 juta kasus per tahun dan setiap hari terjadi lebih dari 1 juta kasus IMS. Pelaporan data IMS saat ini diestimasikan hanya mewakili 50−80% dari total keseluruhan penyakit IMS di Amerika Serikat, yang mencerminkan keterbatasan screening, kurangnya informasi mengenai transmisi penyakit, serta rendahnya tingkat pelaporan data. Data mengenai IMS penting diketahui sebagai bahan kajian perencanaan dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian penyakit. Tujuan: Mengetahui profil penyakit IMS di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUD Dr. Moewardi periode Januari 2016 sampai Desember 2020. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian retrospektif dengan menggunakan data sekunder berupa rekam medis dan buku registrasi di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUD Dr. Moewardi, Surakarta, periode Januari 2016−Desember 2020. Hasil: Didapatkan jumlah kasus baru IMS rawat jalan di Poliklinik Kulit dan Kelamin RSUD Dr. Moewardi sebanyak 275 kasus selama 5 tahun terakhir. Terdapat 192 kasus kondiloma akuminata, 16 kasus ulkus genital, 35 kasus keluarnya cairan dari genitalia laki-laki, dan 20 kasus keluarnya cairan dari genitalia perempuan. Kesimpulan: Penderita IMS yang berobat di RSUD Dr. Moewardi mayoritas berjenis kelamin laki-laki dengan diagnosis terbanyak adalah kondiloma akuminata. Data ini dapat menjadi acuan dalam upaya pengendalian IMS dengan meningkatkan anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik dan penunjang, serta memberikan edukasi terkait tindakan preventif pada pasien.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) is a rare Mullerian disorder characterized by uterine didelphys, hemivaginal obstruction, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This paper aimed to describe a rare case of HWW in order to give better understanding of the disease, as well as diagnosis and treatment. Then urgent action is taken in the form of incision and drainage of pus. Methods: We searched medical record of a 17-year-old girl complaining of vaginal pain since menarche. Ultrasound examination found hematocolpos and vaginal septum, pelvic MRI found uterus didelphys and left renal agenesis, then the septal incision was performed to facilitate pus drainage. Conclusion: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich is a rare condition with varying age of onset. Anamnesis, physical examination, ultrasonography, and MRI are needed to confirm diagnosis. As an urgent measure, a septal incision and pus drainage are performed to reduce symptoms and complications that could occur in the future. In addition, the patient needs to undergo septal resection as a follow-up treatment which can only be done in a hospital where urogenital and reconstruction divisions are available.

Spirituality In Leadership – A Psychological Approach
Authors: Ruchi Dhawan  , Dr Kanika Sachdeva
Published: December 2023

The concept of spirituality and leadership is widened in this research to include strategic leadership as well as traditional spirituality. It will be necessary for future advancement in the subject of spirituality and leadership to have greater clarity on the degree of research being conducted, as well as the distinction between individual and societal spirituality. A framework is presented to accomplish this goal, and it illustrates how a top-level leader's personal spiritual beliefs may be utilized as a schema to filter and organize data during strategic decision-making. This functioning is moderated by the leader's progressive growth and meta-belief, which are impacted by the organization's setting and leadership method, among other variables. A complex understanding of spirituality and leadership may be gained via the use of this framework. It also provides as a starting point for examining many different types of spirituality that can be found in organizations.

Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada Salisilik asit (SA) uygulamasının, kadmiyum (Cd) stresine maruz bırakılmış buğdayın (Triticum aestivum L.) Bolal çeşidine ait yapraklarındaki apoplastik antioksidan enzim (katalaz, peroksidaz ve süperoksit dismutaz) aktiviteleri ile lipid peroksidasyonu ve hidrojen peroksit miktarı üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bitkiler 22/20 oC’de toplam 18 gün büyütülmüşlerdir. Bitki yapraklarına 12. gün farklı konsantrasyonlarda (0.01, 0.1, 1 mM) SA uygulanmış ve bundan 3 gün sonra, bitkilerin yetiştiği ortama farklı konsantrasyonlarda (25, 50, 100 μM) Cd uygulanmıştır. On sekizinci gün bitki yaprakları araştırmamızda deney materyali olarak kullanılmışlardır. SA uygulamaları, 50 ve 100 μM Cd’de katalaz (CAT) aktivitesini artırırken POX aktivitesini düşürmüştür. 25 ve 50 μM Cd’e maruz kalmış buğday yapraklarında ise SOD aktivitesini genelde artırmıştır. Ancak, 100 μM Cd’de aktiviteyi düşürmüştür. SA uygulamaları, 25, 50 ve 100 μM Cd etkisi altındaki buğdayda lipid peroksidasyonunu (LPO) düşürürken 25 μM Cd’de SA’nın 3 konsantrasyonuda H2O2 miktarını artırmıştır. SA 50 μM Cd’de H2O2 miktarını artırmıştır. 100 μM Cd’de 0.01 ve 0.1 mM SA uygulamaları aktiviteyi artırırken, 1 mM ise düşürmüştür.

Sonuçlarımız bitkilere Cd stresine maruz kalmadan uygulanan SA’nın hem apoplastik antiokdidatif enzimleri hem de LPO ve H2O2 miktarlarını düzenleyerek bir koruma sağlayabildiğini göstermektedir.
Antonio Vieira e a pregação no século XVII:
Authors: Fernandes Marcio Luiz
Published: December 2023

A teoria psicossomática aristotélico-tomista acerca das paixões constitui o fundamento principal da visão dos jesuítas nos séculos XVI e XVII. Tal conhecimento reflete-se na forma como o teólogo e pregador jesuíta Antonio Vieira (1608-1697) serviu-se de tais teorias, na arte da pregação, para mover os afetos, persuadir a razão e convencer os ouvintes. Desse modo, apresentamos os elementos essenciais que caracterizam a teologia da pregação, no período da Escolástica Barroca a partir do sermão das chagas de São Francisco. Neste sermão o padre Antonio Vieira reconhece em Francisco de Assis a segunda estampa de Cristo crucificado. Além disso, discute as questões das paixões da alma na sua relação com os sentidos humanos e apresenta a unio mystica como expressão da conversão. Assim, no âmbito de uma espiritualidade que, como aquela dos jesuítas, valoriza o conhecimento de si mesmo, o sermão permite notar como se articulam no discurso o elemento psicológico e cognitivo, os aspectos da memória e da imaginação, dos afetos e da inteligência com a finalidade de converter e persuadir.
Voorlopige kriteria vir wie en wat die leksikograaf is

Proposed Criteria for Being a Lexicographer. There is surprisingly little systematic academic research on who exactly lexicographers are. This issue was identified a decade ago by Rufus Gouws. Gouws (2012) not only investigates the activities of those involved in Lexi­cography, but critically questions the roles of the active participants. Gouws (ibid.) concludes by emphasising that it is imperative to develop unambiguous criteria for who can be called a lexicog­rapher. This article aims to help develop these criteria by placing the work of Gouws under the microscope in the form of a case study with an underlying thematic analysis. Gouws' own contri­butions to the meta- and practical lexicography, as well as to dictionary didactics and pedagogy, attests to his productivity, expertise and relevance. This case study includes a literature review of Gouws' research articles from the last 10 years since the publication of the 2012 article mentioned above. The articles are analysed thematically to deduce the general roles and activities of the lexi­cographer. These roles or activities are discussed incisively, and from this discussion, a set of ten­tative criteria is proposed for who can be called a lexicographer. Keywords: lexicographer, metalexicographer, dictionary maker, edu­cator, linguist, linguistic citizenship, activism
Lexicography, Culture and Mediation. Or Why a Good Lexicographer Must Also Be a Good Cultural Mediator
Authors: Curcio Martina Nied
Published: December 2023

Culture-bound items are often omitted in lexicographic resources, and when they are present, they are rarely described in an appropriate way, especially in bilingual dictionaries: the listed equivalents often do not reflect the meaning of the cultural word precisely, usage examples may be missing and above all — especially for a non-native speaker — important information on the cultural level is omitted (Nied Curcio 2020). Communication problems and misunderstandings which are triggered not by divergences on the linguistic level, but on the cultural level, can arise between speakers of different languages and cultures. Specific cultural knowledge and an advanced level of intercultural competence are required. Mediation of texts and concepts and using mediation strategies can provide significant input developing the lexicographer's intercultural competence, which is essential for an adequate lexico­graphic description of cultural aspects. Mediators often resort to their plurilinguistic and pluricul­tural repertoire and use mediation strategies. The same skills can also be harnessed by lexicogra­phers for adequate and successful descriptions of culture-bound items in lexicographic resources. In this article the focus is on the concept of mediation; the Companion Volume of the Common Euro­pean Frame­work of Reference for Languages (2018) shows parallels in the requirements of skills between mediators and lexicographers, and advocates the use of mediation strategies by lexicogra­phers to ensure that cultural information is adequately represented in the dictionary. Keywords: bilingual dictionaries, cultural items, translation, inter­cultural competence, mediation, mediation strategies, plurilingual com­petence, pluricultural competence

Урбанизация и рост населения в мегаполисах - общий тренд для многих стран мира. По прогнозам ООН, к 2050 году две трети жителей планеты будет проживать в городских районах. В связи с этим возникнет потребность значительного развития и перестройки городской инфраструктуры. Вместе с тем строительство выступает одним из главных факторов загрязнения окружающей среды. Помимо этого, эксплуатация возведенных объектов обходится все дороже: увеличивается стоимость энергии, ужесточаются стандарты экологической безопасности. Все это способствует активному росту интереса именно к подходам и технологиям устойчивого (зеленого) строительства.

Urbanization and population growth in megacities is a common trend for many countries of the world. According to UN forecasts, by 2050, two thirds of the world's population will live in urban areas. In this regard, there will be a need for significant development and restructuring of urban infrastructure. At the same time, construction is a major contributor to environmental pollution. In addition, the operation of constructed objects is becoming increasingly expensive: energy costs are increasing and environmental safety standards are becoming stricter. All this contributes to the active growth of interest in approaches and technologies of sustainable (green) construction.
