Authors: Gabr Dalia, G. , AlQahtani Ruba
Published: November 2022

The plants are very important for living organisms, there would be no life on earth if plants did not exist. Furthermore, when animals or humans consume many plants, they can have negative consequences. Plant toxicity is associated with a multitude of chemical toxins such as alkaloids, glycosides, proteins, and amino acids. There are numerous examples of poisonous species present in different families, one of them Euphorbiaceae. Euphorbiaceae is one of the four largest cosmopolitan families of flowering plants with 313 genera and around 8100, species. Morphological, phytochemical properties and medical uses for 11 wild species of Euphorbiaceae growing in Saudi Arabia were collected in this paper. Two species (Euphorbia fractiflexa and Jatropha glauca) don’t have data for its chemical and medical properties and need a lot of study. For the species growing on the Saudi Arabia, all studied species need further study except for Euphorbia granulata and Ricinus communis.

Language And Culture: Veritable Tools For National Development
Authors: Tola Abubakar Mubaraq
Published: November 2022

The use of language depends on the level of effectiveness and efficiency with which it is developed and utilised to determine the development of any individual or society. Every society strives to use its language to preserve its culture, shape its thought and worldviews. The paper aims at identifying how Yoruba oral tradition can be deployed to reflect our cultural heritage, shape our thoughts and conceptual beliefs. Ten Yoruba proverbs and five songs were collected and analysed. Twenty elders from various communities in Oka-Akoko kingdom of Ondo State who are custodians of Yoruba culture were randomly sampled and interviewed. Findings revealed that indigenous language users are influenced by cultural values that help to change their moral reorientation and reduce the menace of social vices in our society and foster national development. The paper concludes that language and culture are veritable tools for national development, especially because of their effectiveness in shaping the speaker's moral values and thus, promoting societal traditional values.

The Philippines has a high rate of diabetes cases that is sometimes caused by bad eating habits and poor lifestyle. A good eating practice is to have three meals in a day and two snacks between each meal to properly distribute the needed nutrients. The researchers have developed an application entitled “Nutrify” to help people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in planning their meal. The meal plan contains the calorie and macronutrient distribution. The decision-tree algorithm is responsible for the changes in the meals computed by the application, appropriately distribute the macronutrients, and optimize the plan's validity. The survey conducted shows that for all the participants' responses, the respondents are very satisfied with the application having a score of 4.62. However, results from the paired t-test could not prove the effectiveness of the application in managing the user's weight due to the short period to produce statistically significant results. In conclusion, the researchers have developed an application that will generate a meal plan and create a dietary goal for the user in order to help the user to stay healthy and avoid their existing health conditions becoming worse.

Authors: Jacqulyn Varsha , R. Mrs. Thiruchelvi , K Mrs. Rajakumari
Published: November 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a huge deal all around the world. It can be used in a variety of fields, including industrial, healthcare, agriculture, and the environment. Due to a lack of interaction among patients and doctors in the past, correct diagnosis was difficult to come by, and fatality rates were high. They were incapable of dealing with epidemics and pandemics. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) was recently developed to better and improve the healthcare profession. IoMT is a medical gadget that allows for increased patient convenience, price healthcare treatments, improved medical therapies, and more customized care. Wearable gadgets have been on the rise, with several benefits in terms of keeping watch of vitals and healthcare, igniting the growth of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). It allows electronic technologies to collect, analyze, and send information to cloud systems. This allows you to examine the patient's health status at any time and from anywhere, including body temperature, pulse rate, hearing beats utilizing ECG sensors, temperature, pressure, and observation. Digital gadgets have been designed and are widely used as a result of these systems. Doctors may keep track of a patient's health status in real time and prescribe medicine, vitamins supplements, and healthcare advice to them through. IoMT aids in the detection of body changes such as the growth of irregular masses of undifferentiated cells, the recognition of neural disorders, the checking of diabetic patients' glucose levels, the detection of psychiatric conditions using heartbeat, the real-time tracking of chronic disease symptoms, the screening of internal organ dysfunction, and the monitoring of cardiac blocks that cause heart attacks. IoMT assisted doctors in identifying and diagnosing COVID-19-affected patients and assisting them in providing appropriate therapy remotely. Clinical decisions were made with the help of IoMT as Artificial Intelligence (AI), telemedicine, and sensor technologies advanced. In the context of smart cities, IoMT introduces a new issue in the healthcare sphere. This chapter provides an outline as to how IoMT operates and how it has improved the lives of many patients through the use of modern technologies. This also includes a design and overview of IoMT, as well as numerous activities in the health-care industry, pop-up technologies, and several IoMT case studies in medical applications. It also lays out the IoMT's cybersecurity rules and indicates issues which need to be tackled at the parliamentary and community sectors.

Brodziński pod presją romantyzmu... Dystans krytyka a (późny) entuzjazm poety
Authors: Zając Grzegorz
Published: November 2022

This article deals with the problem of Kazimierz Brodziński's various reactions to the literature falling within the concept of romanticism. It concerns his numerous critical statements as well as his poetry, above all the one that was written after his publication of the treatise O klasyczności i romantyczności tudzież o duchu poezji polskiej (1818). In this light, Brodziński as a critic – in the 1820s, falling into controversies with ideologues and enthusiasts of "new poetry" to a greater extent, a particular example of which is the work O egzaltacji i entuzjazmie, published shortly before the outbreak of the November Uprising, which does not always speak with the same voice as Brodziński the poet does. These differences were also visible relatively early due to the writer's aesthetic openness, for example, in the poem Widzenie na Górach Karpackich (1821). However, it is more important that they had increased as a result of a change in his attitude towards Polish affairs. The change, which was caused by the uprising itself as well as its tragic consequences for Poles and resulted in the creation of such works as the messianic poem Rocznica.
Pojedynek wirtuozów. Obraz gry na skrzypcach w warszawskiej publicystyce na tle romantycznego przełomu
Authors: Magdziak Agata

The article is devoted to the characteristics of different ways of perceiving and conceptualising violin playing at the time of the Romanticist breakthrough. The core axis of the aesthetic dispute described in the article is the polemic between Krystyn Lach Szyrma and Maurycy Mochnacki in the Warsaw press, inspired by a visit to Warsaw of the Italian violinist, Niccolò Paganini, who gave a concert with Karol Lipiński in 1829. The analysis of selected journalistic and critical texts from the first half of the nineteenth century, aims to show the direct influence of different ways of reception and aesthetic preferences regarding violin playing on the image of the instrument in poetry and other literary texts in the nineteenth century.
Zesłańczy romantyzm lat 20. i 30. XIX wieku. Autokomentarze Tomasza Zana do nienapisanego romansu
Authors: Pisula Anna
Published: November 2022

The article analyses the texts of Tomasz Zan, written during his exile, in terms of the author's literary consciousness and, most importantly, his understanding of the concepts of “romanticism” and “romanticist”. Zan used these terms in the context of his own intellectual activity, which can be regarded as a manifestation of creative self-proclamation. Many of the philomath's literary opinions are voiced in reference to his own romance, which he planned for years but never completed. Analysing his diary and correspondence, it can be concluded that the author's opinions concerning Romanticism were typical of those of the early 1820s, manifested in his association of this literary trend with German authors, as well as with the romance genre. Zan's views on the literary arts may have been shaped by his cultural isolation in connection with his exile, which prevented the philomath from engaging in discussions concerning Romanticism. From Zan's reflections on literature, it can be concluded that the author considered the following characteristics of a literary work to be of particular importance: accuracy in reflecting the local aspects, the personal, autobiographical nature of the work, and the impact of inspiration.
Zachodnie nowinki na wileńskiej prowincji – wpływy niemieckich poetów na ballady filomatów
Authors: Grzędowska Dominika
Published: November 2022

The article describes the influence of foreign, mainly German, literature on the ballads of the Philomaths – Tomasz Zan, Jan Czeczot and Adam Mickiewicz. The inspirations, references, and transformations of literary themes taken from German poets are presented in chronological order. The article begins with the answer to questions: why and how Zan used Lenora by Gottfried August Bürger in Neryna and Twardowski (common character and versification, intensifying the mood of horror). The full image of foreign references in this poet's work is completed by his version of Arion, based on the literary work by August Wilhelm Schlegel. Philomath used the character of a hero from Hellas, but he presented his fate in a dramatically condensed way. All these references lead to the conclusion that Zan transformed foreign threads in his own way, treating this activity as an exercise in his literary technique. A similar approach was shown by Jan Czeczot, who focused on native themes – but he added a large dose of humor, which was characteristic also of the most outstanding philosopher-writer, Adam Mickiewicz. The author of Ballady i romanse included in his collection a free translation of Friedrich Schiller’s Rękawiczka. He gave up the local color in it, creating a more “homely” version. In Świtezianka and Pierwiosnek, Mickiewicz referred to Johann Wolfgang Goethe. Świtezianka refers to Rybak with the motif of a fantastic figure emerging from the water. Pierwiosnek, like Fiołek, contains the lament of a metaphorical flower addressed to an insensitive lover. An analysis of Mickiewicz's references to his masters shows that this poet, like his friends, treated ballads as poetic exercises. He wanted to challenge his favorite writers. At the same time, these references confirm his manifestation of creative freedom. It turns out that the philomath ballads share the same approach to creation in this genre, which has been found in the example of transformations of material taken from foreign literature.
Szatańskie wersety. Juliusz Słowacki i Zygmunt Krasiński wobec "Kaina" George’a Gordona Byrona
Authors: Nowak Małgorzata
Published: November 2022

Lord Byron's Cain in the reception of Polish Romantics was sometimes overshadowed by other works of the English aristocrat: poetic novels, Manfred and Don Juan. The aim of this article is to indicate possible connections between Cain and Juliusz Słowacki's Kordian and Zygmunt Krasiński's Irydion. The basis for such a juxtaposition is the presence of the figure of the devil in each of these works – Lucifer, Satan, Mephistopheles and Masynissa, respectively. The analysis of satanic themes, particularly the relationship between humans and demons, the strategy of temptation, the role of rationalism, and images of God, based on close reading and the use of the English-language version of Byron's drama, points to the very high probability that Polish authors played an intertextual game with Byron's work – albeit one conducted at a time when both were making their first attempts to free themselves from the spell of Byronism, which largely shaped Polish Romanticism in its early phase.
Islam w twórczości Juliusza Słowackiego
Authors: Nawarecka Lucyna
Published: November 2022

The article addresses the issue of Islam in the works of Juliusz Słowacki. The author assumes that the purpose of Orientalism was not only to heighten the sense of mystery hidden in the world, but - above all - to reveal the mystery of the human being, the depths of the human psyche, as well as to justify irrationalism, which was of great importance to Romanticists. She also claims that Słowacki did not translate qasidas but used them as an inspiration for his own poem, which was significantly different from the original. The most significant change introduced by the poet was to make Shanfara a follower of Islam, which led to accusations of anachronism. However, the number of references to the Qur'an and the protagonist's religious dilemmas testify to Słowacki's deliberate decision to change the chronology, placing the protagonist in the Arab world after the birth of the Prophet. Religious consciousness is thus an indicator of the depth of a man endowed with a soul and later, in the period of mysticism, also with a spirit.
Słowacki – polityk. Uwagi na marginesie dwóch listów do Adama Czartoryskiego
Authors: Kunicki-Goldfinger Tomasz
Published: November 2022

The article presents an interpretation of two letters written by Juliusz Słowacki to Prince Adam Czartoryski. The letters show how political action was important to the Polish romantic poet. In contrast to past research, it shows the depth of Słowacki’s political thought. He considered various forms of government and chose the best option. Słowacki wrote about three forms of government: Roman, Homeric Greek, and Gospel-based. He also wrote about the importance of filioque. The equality between Jesus and the God father in relations to Holy Spirit showed the way to universal priesthood and ecumenical council. Słowacki a model of a democratic state based on a group of three people. The group would consist of a brother who directs the spirit, a soldier, and a marshal. In Polish, we would say about person who gives meaning to things and weight to ideas. We can observe the development of various forms of government over time.According to Słowacki, political presence is possible through self liberation. We should consider the consequence of our future actions and always keep in mind the immortality present in each of us. Being fully a citizen is possible thanks to the poet – the liberator. In order to recognise the spirit of a nation, poets should use their intuition and write down the results as a historical record. Write down the results as a historical record. In his letters, Słowacki pointed to Mickiewicz’s role in College de France and urged that the poet’s position should be stabilised. Słowacki proposed to Prince Adam Czartoryski that he would sway the feelings of Poles to make them love and admire the Prince. Słowacki showed how important poetry was in the process of building a new nation. His most importance message to Prince Czartorsyski was that he should do something heroic. Słowacki’s trip to Lesser Poland in 1848 was very important on a political level.
Onomastyczne konteksty Glogera
Authors: Bogdanowicz Elżbieta
Published: November 2022

According to the author of the article, when analysing Zygmunt Gloger's achievements from the perspective of onomastics, it should be concluded that he strove to save Polish anthroponyms and toponyms from oblivion. It can be said that his preoccupation with names stems from his interest in cultural onomastics, which is part of cultural linguistics, assuming language (including proper names) to be a product of culture and at the same time as a medium of cultural content specific to a given person and society. For this reason, he constantly encourages the collection of different types of -onyms and searches for motivations, which, based on available academic knowledge, gave rise to given names.
Issues of Implementation of the Fair Trial in the Albanian System: Analysis in the Framework of the Constitutional Court and ECHR's Jurisprudence on Albania's Cases
Authors: Bode Jola , Peppo Etlon
Published: November 2022

The process of a fair trial constitutes an important part of human right standards, for which Albania is making efforts to develop. Article 6 (1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), being the main tool in the area of fundamental rights and freedoms, lists the components of a fair, independent, impartial, legal and public trial within a reasonable time applicable in both civil and criminal trials. The paper aims to present an overview of the evolution of this principle in the Albanian constitutional system in order to understand how this principle has evolved in a former dictatorship such as Albania and how much this principle conforms to the standards sanctioned under Article 6 (1) of the ECHR. As one of the most significant legal events in Albania, judicial reform’s impact on the justice system is also analysed regarding the application of the standards of a fair trial. Naturally, all components of a fair trial are of essential importance, but considering gaps in enforcement and issues of their practical misinterpretation, this paper is focused in components such as: access to justice, trial within a reasonable time and trial by an independent and impartial court. Through the jurisprudence of the Albanian Constitutional Court and European Court of Human Rights on cases against Albania, the present paper outlines and seeks to address the matters of enforcement of such components in the Albanian system, such as: How is the constitutional defence of a free trial provided and what has been the Constitutional Court’s role in this regard? How have ECHR’s guidelines on cases against Albania affected the correction of misinterpretations in the national system? How has the judicial reform affected the enforcement of such components, and what are the subsequent problems and challenges?

The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the acknowledgement of the consumer's attitude towards organic products and the selection criteria for sales personnel at the largest bio-fair in Lima, Peru. A quantitative approach, with an applied type, a correlational level, a non-experimental, and a cross-sectional design was used in the research technique. In this context, the population consisted of 78 organic product sales managers. The survey technique was applied, and the author's questionnaires were used as an instrument, yielding good findings in terms of validity, reliability, and confirmatory factor analysis. A multiple correlation matrix with Spearman's rho statistic was constructed and interpreted. The results obtained showed a moderate positive relationship between consumer attitude acknowledgement of organic products is and sales personnel selection criteria (p. = 0.000; r = 0.568), giving validity to the general hypothesis. Similarly, bilateral asymptotic significance values of less than 0.001 allowed the acceptance of the specific hypotheses proposed by the researchers.

Behavior and Socio-Economic Development: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
Authors: Al Fozaie Mohammad Tariq
Published: November 2022

Why do people engage in bad behavior? Are people inherently evil? Is human nature inclined towards unethical behavior? Or are the causes of bad behavior external to the self? This paper employs an explanatory research design to provide descriptive explanations as to why people might engage in bad behavior by examining views from different disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, ethics, theology, and economics. The paper finds that people engage in bad behavior due to the duality of human nature, cognitive inefficiencies, psychological tendencies, bounded rationality, and having a poor regulatory focus. In summary, consensus is lacking among scholars within and across disciplines as to what constitutes bad behavior, as well as a lack of consensus as to why people might engage in such behavior – this in turn contributes to a lack of a theoretical framework which properly defines what constitutes bad behavior and how, and whether, it is quantifiable.

Empowering and Emancipatory Local Budgeting: From Narcissism to Altruism
Authors: Pasoloran Oktavianus
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to create a regional budgeting political model based on the public aspiration fund policy. As a populist initiative to collect particular interests among regional budgeting stakeholders, the public aspiration fund is a reality. This research employs the interpretive-critical approach to show the discursive reality that develops from the language of public ambitions. The study's findings indicate that, on the one hand, the public ambition fund is justified as a sort of "response" to community needs and interests, but on the other hand, the public ambition fund is a form of narcissism in regional budget politics. According to the findings of the study, fighting for community goals must be motivated by an altruistic desire to help the community as part of prosocial action that benefits the greater community. Participating in the screening process of community aspirations requires budget participants to have "feeling in" empathy, which is acquired by entering into the emotional state of the community through a heightened understanding of the community's predicament. The hope is that municipal finances will be reoriented in more emancipatory and empowering directions through funding a range of programs with the primary purpose of “people's welfare”.

Politeness in an Educational Context
Authors: Albawardi Areej , Alqahtani Albandari
Published: November 2022

Human daily social interaction is anchored in interpersonal discourse, and linguistic politeness is thus vital to our everyday language including face-to-face and computer-mediated communication. Politeness conventions in emails are not being taught to students and seem to be a work-in-progress. In a power-asymmetrical context such as student-teacher interaction, requests are pragmatically demanding, complex, and inherently face-threatening acts (Brown & Levinson, 1987). Little research has been conducted on face-saving and politeness in requests produced by a sufficient number of participants. This paper attempts to investigate requestive emails written in English by Saudi students directed to instructors belonging to the same Saudi academic institution. The study attempts to examine how English language female students employ linguistic politeness in composing their requestive emails. In more detail, it aims to examine English language students’ use of email openings and closings and uncover the different devices employed in both, including address term’s presence/absence and formality/informality. Results show that most students (97%) in the current data opt for including an opening pre-request, while only 72.5% of their emails include a closing.

A Meta-Analysis on the Determinants of Online Product Reviews with Moderating Effect of Product Type
Authors: Rawat Kavita , Kumar Sunita
Published: November 2022

The technological advances in digital space have provided a renewed impetus for business to expand their footprint across digital modes. The growth of the internet and the ease of its access to the masses has encouraged many businesses to go online. Online e-commerce platforms make it easy to search, locate and place orders. Technology-assisted supply chains and fast delivery mechanisms ensure that users don't have to go elsewhere to fulfill their needs. To earn loyalty and customer satisfaction, e-commerce platforms have evolved into a sophisticated recommender system. It has evolved from just an informational source to a participative mode where users can share their experiences about their purchases. Customer values other user experiences more than the information provided by the seller. The presence of many conflicting and contradicting reviews can make the task of making rational decisions difficult for many users. Many studies were performed to understand what constitutes a review helpful and came up with different or mixed outcomes. The present study reviews the factors that influence online customer reviews helpful. Meta-analysis was performed to reconcile the mixed findings of different factors of online review helpfulness. The meta-analysis found that with the moderating effect of product type, factors like review length, readability, rating, reputation, and expertise positively correlate with helpfulness. Further, the customer finds moderate reviews more helpful in terms of polarity. Meta-analysis has a mix of findings for the selected data points in the study. The mixed findings include product type (search, experience, or other) and helpfulness measurement criteria.

The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has generated new challenges for regular basic education teachers, who, day by day, interact with students and constitute a significant part of the student's development. These new circumstances have affected teachers, raising their stress levels and affecting their skills. In this context, this study aims to determine the influence of social support and general self-efficacy on subjective discomfort in Ecuadorian regular basic education teachers. The methodology used was based on the predictive design in which 311 teachers participated, 230 women and 81 men. The selected instruments were the Duke-UNK-11 Functional Social Support Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GAS) and the Kessler Subjective Discomfort Scale-10. The results showed that the Social support variable significantly influences subjective discomfort, showing that teachers who have high levels of social support show lower levels of subjective discomfort. It is concluded that social support is a predictor of subjective discomfort in Ecuadorian teachers of basic education.

Published: November 2022

This paper studies the common writing mistakes committed by IMCO's foundation students. Therefore, it supports students in addressing their issues and prepares them for their degree studies. The study investigates the common writing mistakes at the foundation level (A1 to B1). To investigate writing problems in linguistic, cultural, educational, and social contexts. To recommend potential dynamic solutions to support IMCO's students and other learners to write better. A team of experts in English language teaching with experience of five to fifteen years in the field conducted an experimental study through the first semester of the academic year 2021–22 on 5 groups, each made of 20 to 27 students. The experiment recorded the common mistakes committed by learners on an excel sheet for ten weeks. The paper also used bibliometric analysis to map errors on the international level by analyzing articles from five recent years (from 2005 to 2022) from Scopus via VOSviewer. Data collected was analyzed via Yale DHlab Raw Graph 2.0 beta. Findings reveal that the main mistakes committed by learners are linked to spelling, punctuation, irrelevant ideas, thesis statement writing, topic, sentence, use of the verbal sentence, verb-subject agreement, run-on sentences, structure, layout issues, and plagiarism issues. Several factors contribute to these issues, including the impact of language one on language two, lack of reading, motivation, and the impact of online learning. Findings also reveal that although lecturers use a student-centred approach, they lack high-tech skills in dealing with writing issues, requiring apps, technology, and artificial intelligence. The paper is valuable as it adds value to teaching productive skills to non-native English speakers, and it combines the use of scientific research methods.

There is an increasing awareness of the prominence of the virtual setting environment as education shifted from conventional face-to-face teaching and learning to a blended environment that includes distance education. This phenomenon has also affected how teaching is delivered in Higher education institutions. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that limit the provision of task-fit digital devices in an Open Distance Learning (ODL) University in South Africa. The article emanates from data collected from a collaborative project by different universities entitled “The dynamics of space and place in Sub-Saharan higher education institutions”. This study deployed qualitative research methodology and data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The Task-Technology Fit model was used as a theoretical framework. The investigation led to several critical findings which were categorised into the following themes: deficient technologies, delayed procurement of digital appliances, supplying used computers to newly appointed academics, negative implications of pedagogical practices and finally, poor ICT support.
