Undergraduate Students’ Cognitive Obstacles in the Learning Power Series Concepts Using APOS
Authors: Tatira B
Published: April 2023

Power series are a powerful tool to study elementary functions that are widely used in computational sciences to obtain approximations of functions. However, students do not fully develop required mental structures due to the presence of cognitive obstacles. The purpose of this study was to develop students’ mental constructions in learning power series expansion using the activities, whole class discussions and exercises instructional approach. Literature on the activities, class discussion and exercise instructional approach in power series is scarce. This framework advocates for the use activities, class discussion and exercises teaching cycles to develop undergraduate students’ mental constructions in mathematics concepts. A qualitative case study research approach involving 101 first-year undergraduate students was adopted for this study. Students’ understanding of power series expansion was gathered by using a task-sheet and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis consisted of content analysis of students’ written responses to the exercises and identify categories. The results indicated that students partially developed the schema for expanding power series and solving related problems. Students had some content gaps in the pre-schemas, which in true became some cognitive obstacles in learning power series. Future studies may focus on mental constructions and obstacles in other aspects of series expansion.

Published: April 2023

The use of cement is expected to increase over the years as the infrastructure continues to develop, and the needs to repair or rehabilitate an old and deteriorated building are necessary. However, many investigations have been conducted to establish promising polymer concrete applications in the last few decades. Meanwhile, using concrete in the construction industry has led to environmental issues. It is because relying on cement production in concrete will contribute to about 7% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, polymer concrete was introduced in this study to minimise the use of cement in the industry. This research investigated the influence of different amounts of polypropylene (PP) fibre content on polymer concrete (PC) properties by determining the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. Furthermore, the results of PC failure characteristics have been discussed. The polymer concrete specimens in this study have been cast into cylinders and prismatic specimens using PVC pipe and plywood formwork to determine the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. By reinforcing PP fibre in the polymer concrete with a specific percentage of fibre reinforced, the overall strength of the polymer concrete was improved. Based on the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural test results, it has been hypothesised that the 0.16% PP fibre will considerably improve polymer concrete. Additionally, PP fibre maintains a moisture content of less than 0.5% in the aggregates, resulting in a significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of polymer concrete.

Authors: Ježek Jan , Oboňa Jozef , Manko Peter
Published: April 2023

This paper attempts to fill the knowledge gaps in biodiversity of non-biting moth flies in the Caucasus (especially in Abkhazia) and create a suitable basis for subsequent (not only) ecological studies. In total, records of 65 Psychodidae (Sycoracinae - one sp., Psychodinae 64 spp., altogether 33 genera) species/subspecies are presented based on specimens collected mainly in Abkhazia, with some additional data from Armenia, Georgia, and Russia (12 new records). The Psychodidae fauna of Abkhazia now comprises 57 species, 31 of which are newly listed here. The Caucasus region (including the territory of Abkhazia presented here) should be considered the most biologically rich and most endangered region in the world, with an exceptional richness of endemic and endangered species also from the point of view of psychodids biodiversity. Sixteen extremely rare species in this family (probably Caucasus or highland endemics) which need to be given increased attention, whether from the point of view of island ecology or biodiversity protection, have been herein confirmed.

Authors: Dhoundiyal Dr. Anupam , Salunke Sunil
Published: April 2023

Background: Barring few sectors like healthcare, the COVID-19 pandemic had severely affected most of the business. Tourism  and hospitality were amongst few industries harshly hit by the pandemic. In hospitality worst affected segment of HR were  'freshers' from hotel management institutes. With literally no experience and limited skills they have very few takers in industry  with minimum emoluments in offering. Objectives: The prime objective of this paper is to find out the change in the perceptions  of students from hospitality education after COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: This is survey-based study. The responses  were taken twice with same set of respondents, first when peak of second COVID wave was over and it looked that things will be  normal in near future and second responses were taken when third COVID wave seemed to be inevitable in India. Total 135  students took part in both the surveys and their responses were recorded for further analysis. Results: Pandemic compelled  students to think outside their usual choice of four major revenue producing department to commence their career. Marketing  and sales, retail industry, HR and training were their preferred choice. Communication and technical skills, physical fitness,  creativity and food safety were the attributes listed by them as essential for hospitality professionals. Further, respondents  wanted subjects like personality development and communication skills, hotel specific accounting and marketing operations.  HRM as practiced in hotel industry, food safety and hospital catering and investments and trading as core subjects in their  syllabi. Conclusion: It is high time that hotel management institutes should shift their approach from four operational  departments to other equally lucrative field like marketing and retail.
White Privilege in Times of War: Media Narratives of the Conflict in Ukraine
Authors: Altam Saleh , G. D.Kokane Dr.
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this article is to shed light on the media coverage of the initial stages of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Western media's reporting on the conflict was marked by biased and discriminatory comments. The Ukrainian refugees who fled to neighboring countries were compared unfavorably to refugees from other war-torn countries, based on superficial and irrelevant criteria such as skin color, religion, race, and qualifications, rather than on the basis of their human suffering. The European media coverage normalized conflicts in other parts of the world, particularly in the Middle East, portraying them as expected and commonplace. Conversely, conflicts occurring in Europe are deemed shameful for humanity, and white individuals are seen as unsuitable for becoming refugees. Additionally, the article examines the broader war scenario, suggesting that the current conflict may lead the world towards a third world war, due to the escalating tension between Russia and Western powers. The conflict may be geographically centered in Ukraine, but it is essentially a battle between Russia and Ukraine, with backing from the United States and Europe. This conflict has also had ripple effects on other nations, as tensions have risen between China and Taiwan, North Korea and Japan, and Kosovo and Serbia.
Plant Disease Recognition: A Visual Region and Loss Reweighting Approach
Authors: Keerthi K S  , Bincy Louis
Published: April 2023

Plant disease diagnosis is very important for agriculture because of its importance in increasing crop production. Nowadays the advances in image processing gives a new way. One of the newest way to solve this issue via visual plant disease analysis. In this paper, we discuss the problem of plant disease recognition. Here we tackle plant disease recognition via reweighting both visual regions and loss to emphasize diseased parts. We first compute the weights of all the divided patches from each image based on the cluster distribution of these patches to indicate the discriminative level of each patch. Then we allocate the weight to each loss for each patch-label pair during weakly supervised training to enable discriminative disease part learning. We finally extract patch features from the network trained with loss reweighting, and utilize the LSTM network to encode the weighed patch feature sequence into a comprehensive feature representation. Extensive evaluations on this dataset and another public dataset demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method. We expect this research will further the agenda of plant disease recognition in the community of image processing
Vector Control Technique for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Drives
Authors: Monika Gairola  , Dr. A. K. Swami
Published: April 2023

The importance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) is that they have high performance and efficiency for motor drives. The control characteristic of the high-performance motor is that it runs smoothly on the entire speed range, torque can be controlled even at zero speed, and acceleration and deceleration are fast. Optimization of the performance of speed control under various constraints and uncertainties is one of the biggest concerns in PMSMs. In this sense, various speed-control mechanisms have been proposed to identify better ways to control PMSM drives with high-speed characteristics and desired torque response. However, it is necessary to have a suitable control mechanism where better adjustment of performance can be achieved for a different operating condition. However, due to the complexity of the PMSM system, it is quite difficult to differentiate the system characteristics and dynamic control parameters when running in real-time. This paper intends to present a vector control method for PMSM drive called field oriented control (FOC) and results is studied using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Introduction and Aim: Gnidia glauca (Fresen.) Gilg of thymelaeaceae is enlisted as an endangered plant. Hemolytic triterpenoid saponins of oleanane and ursane classes are present in G. glauca. The purpose of the present study is to increase the production of hemolytic triterpenoids in vitro using salicylic acid as an elicitor in G. glauca cell suspensions.
 
Materials and Methods: Explants were collected and surface sterilized, then inoculated onto Murashige and Skoog medium for callus culture, further establishing suspension cultures that were treated with salicylic acid.  Saponins produced in the suspension culture were extracted and analyzed by HPLC and FTIR.  The hemolytic activity of saponins was confirmed by spectrophotometric assay in erythrocyte suspensions.
 
Results:  Product enhancement of hemolytic triterpenoid saponins was observed in cell suspensions treated with salicylic acid that also induced concomitant change in medium pH compared to control set of culture.  Results of HPLC and FTIR analyses confirm the presence of triterpenoid saponins in suspension culture extracts. The optimal concentration of salicylic acid was found to be 200 µM for product enhancement, pH alteration.  Hemolytic saponins concentration was observed to be increased with increasing concentrations of elicitor supplemented to the medium. 
 
Conclusion: Cell suspension is a viable alternative technique to produce the phytochemicals in vitro using elicitors that avoids destructive harvesting of endangered plants like G. glauca.  Results of the present study demonstrate the large scale production of hemolytic saponins through cost-effective approaches.

Published: April 2023

Aims: This study was undertaken to explore the effects of the pandemic period for students in the 4th and 5th years of a
dentistry program who were completing internships through the Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry in terms of their health, education, and socioeconomic status.
Methods: For this study, a total of 200 voluntary participants completing internships in the 4th or 5th year of enrollment in the Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry were asked to fill out a questionnaire that was created with the aim of understanding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on interns in terms of education, health, transportation, and socioeconomic status. In the statistical analysis of the survey data, a frequency distribution table was created for general characteristics and the chi-square test was applied to compare the obtained answers. Confidence intervals were evaluated at 95% and the significance value was accepted as 5%.
Results: The overwhelming majority of the participants reported that the pandemic affected their general health, and almost
all of them reported that they were worried about the future and that the COVID-19 pandemic had reduced the quality of their education and their academic motivation. More than half of the participants stated that they were adversely affected by online education and that they had difficulties in terms of transportation while continuing their internships during the pandemic. It was also determined that a relative or acquaintance of nearly all of the participants had been diagnosed with COVID-19, and nearly half of the participants lost a relative or acquaintance due to COVID-19.
Conclusion: This study has revealed that dentistry students were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to a larger
extent than expected, with serious consequences for their mental health, hopes for the future, and general enjoyment of life. We conclude that it is important to provide regular psychological support, academic assistance, and motivational programs for dentistry students, as well as support for all healthcare professionals in general, in order to prevent the problems that arose from the pandemic from becoming permanent.

Published: April 2023

In dental treatment procedures such as exposure of the pulp, root perforation, apexification or revascularization due to traumatic injuries, it is very important to ensure the tissue repair process. In this way, the formation of a mineralized barrier can be induced. The most commonly used material for this purpose is MTA. However, its disadvantages are the long curing time, difficult manipulation and the need to apply moist absorbent cotton after the process. Pre-mixed calcium silicate cements (CSC), which allow easy application, have become very popular in recent years. This review aimed to compare and present the literature on pre-mixed CSC.

Published: April 2023

The frequent spread of intestinal worms among carnivorous animals is found in a number of diseases that are dangerous to the human body. Intestinal worming infection rates are high among stray cats and dogs as well as domesticated animals. In the research work, studies were conducted to differentiate intestinal worming in cats brought in from micro-districts of Uralsk, West Kazakhstan region. The results of the studies determined the extent of intestinal worming among cats, their species composition, seasonal dynamics of infections and the level of the age of the disease. The city of Uralsk revealed a widespread of cat helminth infections. (IE- 36.1%). By intestinal helminth infestation, the primary toxocariasis Toxocara mystax) is 19,7%, and by spread toxocariasis (Toxascaris leonina) is 12,4%. The degree of the extensiveness of infestation, depending on the time of the year, was determined; it was found that in summer and autumn, the infestation reaches a high degree of extensiveness. It was found that intestinal worm infestation in cats is associated with age. Toxocariasis is more common in 6-month-old cats. And with age, the incidence of this worming disease decreases significantly. In cats over five years old, this worming disease is sporadic.

Сакральність як атрибут держави
Authors: Врона Христина
Published: April 2023

В статті проводиться характеристика феномену сакральності держави, і, зокрема, сучасної світської держави, досліджується процес сакралізації держави в його історичному розвитку. Висловлюється думка, що сакральність є невід’ємним атрибутом держави, яким вона володіє від початку свого існування, в силу її природи, та продовжує відтворювати сакральні властивості у сучасному світі. Робиться припущення, що, з одного боку, в нашому сьогоденні зберігається сакральне сприйняття держави на підсвідомому рівні, оскільки кожен індивід є членом певної соціальної системи, і самим фактом свого народження долучений до накопиченого попередніми поколіннями досвіду, уявлень і вірувань, що впливає на його свідомість і систему цінностей, з іншого - держава зберігає свої сакральні властивості, що проявляються в її релігійних функціях, підтриманні традицій та здійсненні обрядів пошани політичними діячами на високих державних посадах. Аналіз феномену сакральності сучасної держави, дослідження його історичних витоків, розкриття сутності має значення для більш ґрунтовного осягнення природи держави, її зародження, становлення та розвитку, ролі та функцій, які вона виконує та значення у сучасному світі, а також процесу державотворення в цілому.

Meningita și encefalita de diferite etiologii poate avea modificări patologice ale stării psihice în perioada acută, precum și în perioada de consecințe pe termen lung ca urmare a bolilor inflamatorii ale creierului, care sunt de interes într-un plan individual de tratament, de observare și reabilitarea fiecărui pacient afectat de aceste afecțiuni. Recunoașterea tardivă a encefalitei și meningitei poate duce la consecințe neuropsihiatrice pe termen lung, riscuri potențial fatale. În mod tradițional, aceste patologii sunt tratate de specialiști în boli infecțioase, neurologi și medici generaliști, în timp ce, există simptome și sindroame care merită atenția psihiatrilor. Bolile inflamatorii ale creierului pot provoca consecințe severe, simptome și sindroame, atât neurologice, cât și psihiatrice, inclusiv convulsii, tulburări de mișcare, tulburări afective, calitative și cantitative ale conștiinței, uneori patologie ireversibilă a memoriei și inteligenței, adesea o scădere, sau disfuncții cognitive pronunțate, echivalente psihosomatice, patologia sistemului nervos central și a funcțiilor autonome. Cauza encefalitei este de obicei infecțioasă: 1. Agenți virali, 2. Purtători animale, 3. Patogeni bacterieni, 4. Encefalita cauzată de paraziți și ciuperci, 5. Procesul demielinizant în encefalita acută diseminată este cauzat de etiologie neinfecțioasă. Mecanismele patogenezei depind și de factorii de risc și de etiologie, de originea bolii inflamatorii cerebrale. Principalele mecanisme patogenetice în bolile inflamatorii ale creierului care agravează starea somatică a pacientului și, în cele din urmă, starea psihică sunt: 1. Reproducerea bacteriană, 2. Răspunsul celular la inflamație, 3. Tulburările de transport membranar cauzate de citokine, 4. Creșterea permeabilității vasculare și membranare. În perioada acută, tabloul clinic poate fi caracterizat prin simptome psihiatrice și neurologice, simptome iritative, deficite neurologice, stări cu tulburări de conștiență de diferite grade (de la somnolență ușoară la stări severe de precomă, comă, delir) și simptome psihiatrice. grave, acoperind diverse psihopatologii, cel mai adesea tulburări afective severe (anxietate, tulburări de dispoziție – depresie, manie), tulburări de comportament, deficite cognitive, anomalii ale sistemului autonom sau episoade psihotice. Conform unei surse moderne (2023), cele mai frecvente și importante simptome neuropsihiatrice în bolile infecțioase ale creierului pot fi clasificate în 4 grupe: 1. Сognitive, 2. Аfective, 3. Оculare, 4. Сomorbide.

The approach used in this research is a quantitative approach with the type of correlational research. The population in this study was class VIII students at SMP Negeri 12 Kota Serang with 144 subjects out of 226 students. This research uses random sampling technique in determining the sample. The data collection method in this study used a parenting and antisocial scale that had been validated by expert lecturers and processed the data using SPSS for windows 24.0 series. It is known to have the results of a simple correlation analysis (r) it is found that the correlation between the relationship between parenting and antisocial parenting is -0.228 with a significance of 0.006 <0.05. This shows that there is a relationship between parenting and antisocial parenting. While the direction of the relationship is negative because the r value is negative, which can be seen from the Pearson correlations, which is negative, meaning the higher the influence of parenting, the lower the level of antisocial attitudes experienced by students. The value of determination (R square) of 0.052 can be interpreted that social support provides an effective contribution of 5.2% towards antisocial attitudes, meaning that there are still 94.8% caused by other variables not discussed in this study.

Published: April 2023

The article addresses the issue of regulating the manifestations of violence in sports at the international level, being proved the need to adopt the specialized legislation in the Republic of Moldova for the successful resolution of the contravention / criminal cases committed on this occasion. At present, sport fulfills a variety of functions, extremely useful from a social point of view, being largely focused on the competition between the participants. It should also be noted that each type of competition is based on aggression to some extent, which is especially noticeable in those sporting events where there is a direct confrontation of rivals (for example, football, judo, boxing, free wrestling, rugby etc.). Sport is the only form of activity in which violence is allowed "in a civilized way" in the contemporary world. Therefore, in order to understand the violence involved in sports, we must not only refer to the forms of interpersonal aggression on the sports field, but also to the mentality involved in the particular form that organized sport in contemporary society. Conflicts arise in all areas of social life, and many of them can turn into aggressive behaviors. The presence of aggression in these cases is confirmed by numerous rules that try to limit it to a minimum. However, sports are dominated by athletes whose aggressive behaviors are stimulated by the use of doping substances in sports competitions in order to obtain favorable and advantageous results. In this context, sports, athletes can generate certain concrete situations of manifestation of an inappropriate ethics reflected by: doping; pressure on the expected sports result; marketing - sport becomes a commodity; hooliganism manifested by fans and spectators of sports competitions; corruption and manipulation in sports; depersonalization of the athlete, which in fact becomes a commodity; politicization - sport becomes an instrument of political struggle; deviation from the principles of "fair play" in favor of pragmatism; racism; unethical behavior of sports champions, especially professionals; negative effects on the health of the performance athlete, even from an early age; frequent abuse of anabolic steroids among athletes, etc.

In the last century, the incredible rapid progress of science disciplines such as molecular biology, molecular medicine and molecular genetics necessitated reinterpreting the definition of life. Life can be defined as the organized metabolization of genetic information. This perspective is important for understanding the development of living organisms and for answering questions about possible pathologies. For this reason, life sciences have focused on the questions of what genetic information is, how it is used and transferred. The use of new technologies in the Human Genome Project and subsequent large-scale projects such as ENCODE and HapMap has made it much easier and faster to understand the structure of genetic information, its replication and processing processes and product profiles. In this way, the new and large number of data produced makes it possible to reach the causes and possible solutions of pathologies. Although our knowledge on this subject is constantly increasing, understanding the basic functioning of the genetic material’s structure, replication, transfer and transformation into products is the first step. In this chapter, the structure, types and properties of DNA and RNA molecules, as well as the processes of self-replication and transformation of the DNA molecule into a product are discussed with a general point of view.

After the completion of the human genome project in 2003, the use of Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory therapy has gained momentum in modern medicine and pharmacy, with the demonstration of genetic variations among humans. Genome studies show that a person is special and separates from other people like a fingerprint. Differences in these personal genetic characteristics determine the individual’s susceptibility to diseases, treatment response and behavioral differences. The importance of the environmental factors behind the genetic structure in determining the phenotype has been understood with the Human Genome Project, followed by the Hap Map Project, then ENCODE, and the latest epigenome project. In the journey of Nutrigenetics and Epigenetics, we frequently encounter the question of genotype-phenotype. Genotype is the genetic code of individuals. The phenotype is the external appearance of the person that is affected by the genotype and environmental conditions. When we look at the gene structure among individuals, although 99.99% is the same genomic structure, a 0.1% change in between, that is, SNP (the replacement of one base by another in the DNA sequence) causes these changes. It has been observed that these differences in phenotype arise from differences such as food, living conditions, lifestyle, socio-cultural, and interaction with the change of economic levels. This situation also causes different diseases, different microbiota, allergies and etc.
