Asiyah, Maryam and Khadijah as Role Models for Contemporary Muslim Women
Authors: Anis Rehnuma Bint
Published: December 2020

Islam envisions a society built upon individual contribution and mutual cooperation towards a greater goal. Its aim is the achievement of piety at personal level and the establishment of the creed of Islam at a societal level. Thus, in a Muslim society success is not defined by the exploits and worldly achievements of a particular person, man or woman. Rather it is about the role of individuals towards creating a harmonious society where men and women evaluate each other, encourage one another and help and support themselves to establish the Deen of Allah in the land. This is the example of the role of the individual we receive from the Quran, the Ahadith of our Prophet (S) and from the women we meet in the Seerah of our Prophet Muhammad (S). This article strives to highlight the examples of three women from various periods of the history of Islam who played crucial roles at critical moments to provide support and shelter to three major prophets. The three ladies are Asiyah Bint Muzahim, Maryam Bint Imran and Khadijah Bint Khuwailid. The first was the wife of the Pharaoh of Egypt, the second was the first and only mother to give birth to a child without any male intervention, the third a powerful businesswoman of Makkah. But their stature and honour in Islam is not based on their personal positions or achievements. It is due to their roles in protecting and nurturing three prophets of the highest caliber â€“ Musa (A), Isa (A) and Muhammad (S) respectively. They epitomized how women can utilize their full potential not only for personal gain but also to create a better environment in the world in conjunction with their male counterparts. Their examples can provide a guideline for modern women as to how Muslim women today may achieve individual spirituality while contributing effectually towards the betterment of the society they live in.

RESPONSE TO REVIEW A.A. ONUCHIN AND V.A. SOKOLOV TO ARTICLE “THE CONCEPT OF THE DRAFT FEDERAL LAW” FOREST CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION “
Authors:   Center for Forest Ecology and Productivity of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Gagarin Yu.N.
Published: December 2020

This article (the response to review) provides a commentary on the proposals of the reviewers on improving the economic system of forestry through an objective ecological and economic assessment of forests and the excess of prices for forest resources over the cost of their reproduction. It is noted that this proposal retains the right of the forest owner (state) to sell forest resources and, accordingly, consolidates the current budgetary model of forestry, based on budgeting and control of forestry costs. The article expresses the opinion about the erroneousness of judgments defining forestry in the system of economic relations as a raw material sector of the timber industry.
Factors Influencing Innovation in Advertisement: A Study on the Perspective of Bangladesh Market
Authors: Enam Md. Ariful , Ayman Rahman
Published: December 2020

The research has been conducted to find out the factors affecting the advertising creativity in the context of Bangladesh. The research is a Conclusive Causal Research, where we tried to find factors influencing advertising creativity in the Bangladeshi market. The study was conducted through an online questionnaire survey as well as face to face interview with the hardcopy of the questionnaire, both of which involved 210 participants. An in-depth analysis was run through SPSS V25.0 to analyze the acquired data. It was found that Motivation and Divergence greatly influences Innovation in Advertisement, however, the Bangladeshi market does not intend to follow the global Trend. In addition to this, we proposed what the customer base of the market demands when it comes to brand promotions, and how they perceive the recent changes as well as what makes the promotional campaigns innovative. It was found that the younger customers tend to be more inclined towards the uniqueness, novelty, and originality of today’s advertisements, while they do not indulge in being included in the campaigns. Moreover, with the industry being more competitive and diverse, the work environment is expected to be more challenging as well as rewarding that will bring out the creativity out of the marketers.

Зацікавленість до застосування полімерних композиційних матеріалів в суднобудуванні в першу чергу викликана їх високою питомою міцністю, а також корозійною стійкістю, низькою теплопровідністю, немагнітністю, високою ударостойкістью, але найголовніше можливістю проектування і створення нових матеріалів і конструкцій з них. Отримані конструкції мають поліфункціональні властивості, тобто властивості, що залежать від компонентів матеріалу, з якого вони створені. Все це дозволяє проектувати не тільки конструкцію із заданого матеріалу, а й сам матеріал. Таким чином, досягнення в одній конструкції необхідних характеристик по несучій здатності і вібро, звуко-, радіопоглинанню дозволяє знизити не тільки її вагу але і забезпечити підвищення захищеності корабля по фізичним полям

Bauhaus Gestaltung as a New Philosophy of Life
Authors: Nikolić Sanela
Published: December 2020

The thesis of this text is that the modernist paradigms of art —work of art, creation, and aesthetic experience—were reinterpreted by the Bauhaus idea of the Gestaltung of life. This unique conceptual foundation implied the theoretical and practical education meant to form ( gestalten) not only art and culture, but also life as a whole, as a dynamic organism consisting of two elements—the individual and the space of the individual existence. Bauhaus architecture and design of objects for everyday use were practiced as the Gestaltung of living space in a postwar world of industrial production. The practices of fine arts were developed to improve the human sensory potential and perceptive relations to space. Gestalt psychologists and the Bauhaus worked out the implications of two different meanings of Goethe’s original idea of the Gestalt. The Preliminary Course (Vorkurs) as well as the reflected-light compositions (Reflektorische Farbenlichtspiele), and the artistic solutions of László Moholy-Nagy and Oskar Schlemmer are considered as the concrete educational and artistic achievements of the Bauhaus Gestaltung.
Zajedničke slike. Opus kustosa i povjesničara umjetnosti Vlastimira Kusika
Authors: Križić Roban Sandra
Published: December 2020

Opus povjesničara umjetnosti, likovnog kritičara, kustosa i muzealca Vlastimira Kusika (Osijek, 1953.–2018.) posvećen je dvama velikim područjima—gradu kao sveobuhvatnom prostoru pojedinca i društva te sudbinama umjetnika o kojima je pisao, priređivao im izložbe, a nerijetko je s njima i prijateljevao. Razmotrena ne kao historiografska cjelina, nego kao osobit rezultat flanerističke prirode osječkog hodača, u članku se Kusikova ostavština predstavlja u kontekstu „vlastite osjetljivosti” na koju se nerijetko oslanjao, krećući se između neuralgičnih točaka Osijeka u koje ugrađuje povijesti i sredine i pojedinaca. Te točke povezuje umjetničkim sudbinama, izmičući se od tradicionalnih pregleda te ustanovljavajući vlastitu metodu imaginarija. Kusik na osobit način interpretira umjetnika, djelo i umjetnost kao široko zamišljen kontekst na putu prema kojem se mnogo toga događa izvan željenog ili očekivanog scenarija.
Hinemihi o te Ao Tawhito
Authors: Upchurch Michael
Published: December 2020

This report discusses the overriding significance of cross-cultural relationships in heritage management and conservation with regard to Hinemihi o te Ao Tawhito, the whare whakairo (“carved meeting house”) “displaced” in the late nineteenth century from Te Wairoa in Aotearoa New Zealand to Clandon Park in England. Looking at the history and meanings of the meeting house through the relationships of those who interacted with her, it demonstrates how listening, learning, and understanding are at the heart of improving professional practice in museums and heritage practice globally. This article is derived from and expands upon an assignment written for the course MHST507 “Museums and Māori” taught by Awhina Tamarapa as part of the PG-Dip in Museum and Heritage Practice at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington in May 2020.
KING PEPI’S ROLE IN FORMING MEMPHIS, THE FUTURE CAPITAL OF EGYPT
Authors:   Centre for Egyptological Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Orekhov R. A.
Published: December 2020

There is a common point of view in Egyptology that Memphis was a state capital since the earliest times and that its protecting gods were Ptah and his spouse Sekhmet. Arguing this concept, the author tries to find the reason why a pyramid city of Pepi I — Mennefer — became a core of the future capital. The main conclusion is following: Constructing his pyramid complex, Pepi I probably included into it a cult center of Habes where Bastet and Imhotep, a high priest of Ra, were worshiped. Imhotep, a companion of the king Djoser, was known as a priest and charmer who tamed the fiery forces of Sirius associated with Bastet, after which the great drought was over. To commemorate this, New Year celebration and the first sun calendar were established. Imhotep’s tomb became an important cult place, where ceremonies important for surviving of the Egyptian state were conducted. In the second half of the Old Kingdom period the Nile started to flood much less, which led to the decline of agriculture. Thus, the role of the cult center of Habes and Imhotep grew greatly. By including Habes, Pepi protected the dominion of his pyramid city from negative influence of Bastet and decreased flooding. The fact that Mennefer was a successor of the aforementioned cult center determined its capital functions in future.
Rewriting Postcards: Experiments in Collaborative Transnational Curation
Authors: McGuirk Siobhán
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Since their invention, picture postcards have played a key role in circulating racist and imperial ideologies. In this paper, the researcher explores how experiments in producing and exchanging postcards used in the Global Gender and Cultures of Equality (GlobalGRACE) project attempted to subvert traditional anthropological and colonial perspectives. Drawing on examples created for the exhibition Exchanging Cultures of Equality held in London in 2018, the author discusses how GlobalGRACE researchers in six different countries individually and collectively sought to disrupt and challenge historical imaginaries using postcards. The creative process required them consider how they might differently visualize, articulate, and publicly share ideas about their work and field sites while also asserting the value of transnational exchange. The researcher argues that critical reflection on the tensions and challenges that arose from this transnational collaborative experiment are both productive and necessary in informing further and new decolonising engagements with postcards

Published: December 2020

Four new species of Blennidus subgenus Agraphoderus are described from the Andes of Southern Peru: B. (A.) procerus n. sp., B. (A.) abramalagae n. sp., B. (A.) etontii n. sp. and B. (A.) straneoi n. sp. Together with B. (A.) jelskii (Tschitschérine, 1897), they form a very homogeneous group of probably closely related species (the jelskii group), which is distinguished from other members of the subgenus by the distinctive morphology of the aedeagus. A redescription of B. (A.) jelskii is given based on the lectotype and paralectotype designated by Straneo & Vereshagina (1991), supplementing Tschitschérine’s brief original description. The distribution pattern of the species presently included in the jelskii species–group is discussed, emphasizing distinctive traits of stenoendemic species inhabiting restricted geographical areas, and discussing their possible origin by allopatric speciation.

Landscape modification is one of the reasons for the decrease in rabbit populations. The objective of this study was to model wild rabbit habitat using landscape ecology to create a diagnosis method able to assess habitat quality at a large scale. Rabbit presence/absence was recorded on 536 plots of 1 ha. Spotlight transect counts indicated a low relative abundance (KIA = 2.3 rabbits/km). We produced a land use map with metric precision using remote sensing. Water, bare soil, herbaceous, shrubs and trees were identified. Landscape structure and diversity were evaluated using variables available in FRAGSTATS. A logistic regression was performed to assess the link between rabbit presence/absence and landscape structure. Our results indicate that a suitable habitat has a high diversity, a medium number of patches and a small proportion of shrubs. These results could be used to diagnose the landscape prior to any management action to enhance rabbit populations and conversely be helpful as a tool of integrated control in the cases of local outbreaks with agricultural damages.
Restoration of a wild grey partridge shoot: a major development in the Sussex study, UK

The scientific basis of wild grey partridge management has been known for a generation. This includes controlling nest predators, providing nesting cover, having sufficient insect food for chicks and appropriate rates of shooting. More recently, measures such as providing food for adult birds and habitats for protection from birds of prey have also been considered important. Habitat provision can be expensive, but in the UK costs can be partially recovered through governmental agri–environment schemes. The landowner still needs to pay for the essential gamekeeper. Since 2003/04, one part of the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust’s (GWCT) Sussex Study area has put these principles of environmental management into practice with the aim of restoring a wild grey partridge shoot to this part of Southern England. Results have been impressive, with the spring pair density increasing from 0.3 pairs/100 ha in 2003 to nearly 20 pairs/100 ha in 2010 on an area of just over 10 km2. Over the past two years a wild grey partridge shoot has taken place, and the landowner and his team have gained national recognition for their conservation work.

Published: December 2020

We conducted a structured analysis of lepidoptera larvae taxocenoses living in leaf bearing crowns of Dalechampii oak (Quercus dalechampii Ten.) in nine study plots in the Malé Karpaty Mountains (Central Europe). The differences between lepidoptera taxocenoses in individual oak stands were analyzed. A total of 96 species and 2,140 individuals were found. Species abundance peaked in May, while number of species and species diversity reached the highest values from April to May and from April to June, respectively. Abundance showed two notable peaks in flush feeders and in late summer feeders. Lepidoptera taxocenosis in the study plot Horný háj (isolated forest, high density of ants) differed significantly from all other taxocenoses according to Sörensen’s index of species similarity, species diversity, analysis of similarity on the basis of permutation and pairwise tests (ANOSIM), seasonal variability of species composition, and NMDS ordination.
Connectivity patterns and key non–breeding areas of white–throated bluethroat (Luscinia svecica) European populations

Published: December 2020

Using ring recovery data from the EURING databank, the aims of this study were: (1) to identify the chief migration and wintering areas of white–throated bluethroat European subspecies, L. s. namnetum, L. s. cyanecula and L. s. azuricollis, (2) to evaluate the degree of connectivity between breeding and non–breeding regions and determine the migration patterns of each subspecies, and (3) to evaluate whether recovery data are sufficient to answer the previous questions adequately. Most of the recoveries were obtained during the autumn migration period (n = 155, 68.9%), followed by winter (n = 49, 21.8%) and spring (n = 21, 9.3%). For L. s. azuricollis, we did not find any ring recoveries at more than 100 km in autumn or spring, and there were none at all in winter. All analyses thus relate to L. s. cyanecula and L. s. namnetum. Both subspecies move across a NE–SW axis from their breeding to their wintering areas within the circum–Mediterranean region, mainly in Iberia, following population–specific parallel migration routes. L. s. namnetum mainly uses the Atlantic coastal marshes from France to south–western Iberia, where the chief wintering areas are found. L. s. cyanecula, however, uses both Atlantic and Mediterranean wetlands in autumn, but only those in the Mediterranean in spring, thus giving rise to a loop–migration pattern. Telescopic migration was demonstrated for L. s. cyanecula. Recovery data were insufficient to identify in detail the entire wintering range for all white–throated bluethroat European populations. Technologies such as the use of geolocators will play a relevant role in this scenario.
Intensive monitoring suggests population oscillations and migration in wild boar Sus scrofa in the Pyrenees

Published: December 2020

As few studies have analysed local variability in populations of wild boar Sus scrofa in Western Europe in recent years, our understanding of ecological processes currently affecting this species is limited. To analyse questions regarding local variability in wild boar abundance, we used information from 442 traditional drive hunts monitored throughout eight hunting periods in the Pyrenees mountain range (Urdués, N Spain). Results showed temporal oscillations in abundance, and a non–linear decrease of 23% in the number of wild boar seen per drive hunt between 2004 and 2011. Numbers of dogs and hunters per drive hunt also affected indexes of wild boar abundance. Inter–annual variations in bag size may cause overestimations of variations in boar abundance and may even deviate from the population dynamics inferred from the number of wild boars seen per drive hunt. The multimodal patterns of wild boar abundance during the hunting periods suggest migrations in the Pyrenees. Our findings highlight the limitations of hunting bag statistics in wild boar. Further studies are required to guarantee information–based sustainable management of wild boar populations.
Spatial distribution patterns of terrestrial bird assemblages on islands of the Sabana–Camagüey Archipelago, Cuba: evaluating nestedness and co–occurrence patterns

Using distribution data of 131 terrestrial bird species on 17 islands of the Archipelago Sabana–Camagüey, Cuba, we tested for non–randomness in presence–absence matrices with respect to co–occurrence and nestedness. We conducted separate analyses for the whole assemblage and sub–matrices according to trophic levels and residence status (breeding and migratory). We also explored the influence of weighting factors such as island area and isolation. The C–occurrence analyses were susceptible to the species subsets and the weighting factors. Unweighted analyses revealed a significant negative co–occurrence pattern for the entire assemblage and for most sub–matrices. The area weighted analyses always indicated strong non–random structure. However, an analysis with intra–guild species pairs showed that most pairs were randomly assembled; very few pairs had a significant segregated pattern. Bird assemblages followed a nested subset structure across islands. Nestedness was strongly correlated with area and unrelated with island isolation. Overall, this study suggests that terrestrial bird assemblages were shaped by extinction processes mediated through area effects rather than interspecific trophic guild competition. Data suggest that conservation of largest islands will guarantee high terrestrial bird richness on the archipelago.
Assessment of National Performance Trials of Potatoes in Mid-Altitude Regions of Kenya

Published: December 2020

Potato is the second most important food crop in Kenya after maize. It is a valuable cash and food crop mainly grown by small-scale farmers. Potato is cultivated mainly under rainfed production conditions at altitudes between 1500 and 3000 metre above sea level (masl). Consequently, National Performance Trials (NPTs) test sites are located in these highlands. Recently, potato production has spread to the mid-highlands (1200-1500masl) mostly due to high food demand occasioned by population increase, and migration of small scale farmers from the densely populated highlands to the more spacious midlands. Consequently, there is increased need to breed potato varieties that can grow profitably in the warmer mid-altitudes. This development called for identification of new conventional NPT test sites located in the mid-altitudes. Six mid-altitude sites were identified and client-managed conventional NPTs carried out. Twenty six potato genotypes were evaluated for two seasons. First season crop was planted in 2016 while the second season crop was planted in 2017. There was a significant (p≤ 0.001) effect of genotypes, environments and genotype x environment interaction in the first season. Trans-Nzoia was the highest yielding site. All genotypes yielded between 10 and 25 ton/ha. In the second season, only environments showed significant (p≤ 0.001) effects. Again, Trans-Nzoia was the highest yielding site. Across the two seasons, Trans-Nzoia gave an average yield of 26.96 ton/ha followed by Kabete at 18. 21ton/ha. All the other four sites yielded less than 10 ton/ha. The high yields at Trans-Nzoia and Kabete could be due to higher altitudes in these two sites compared to the others. In order to develop potato varieties that can produce profitably in the warm mid-altitudes, breeding and early generation selections activities should be based in these areas.

The distribution of village names based on pre-Christian Finnic personal names in the northern Baltic Sea area
Authors: Raunamaa Jaakko
Published: December 2020

The article studies pre-Christian Finnic anthroponyms and their spread in the northern Baltic Sea area at the end of Middle Ages (c. AD 1520). This is done by analysing village names based on pre-Christian Finnic personal name elements. The primary research material consists of various editions of documents from the 15th and 16th centuries. The analysis demonstrates that village names based on pre-Christian Finnic anthroponyms are most densely located in Varsinais-Suomi, Häme, Northern and Eastern Estonia, Southern Karelia, the Karelian Isthmus and Eastern Ingria. The first four areas are home to significant Iron Age settlements. It seems that the use of the pre-Christian Finnic name elements under investigation originally started in these areas and spread eastwards.

Published: December 2020

A qualidade do leite pode ser afetada pela presença de resíduos de antibióticos decorrentes do tratamento de doenças infecciosas em vacas lactantes. Pesquisas comprovam a incidência significativa e frequente de resíduos em amostras de leite. Esta incidência provoca impactos financeiros devido ao descarte do leite e aos transtornos que a presença de resíduos provoca no cotidiano das indústrias de beneficiamento de leite. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o volume de leite descartado pelas indústrias de beneficiamento devido à presença de resíduos de antibióticos no leite captado em propriedades na região Sul de Minas Gerais, durante as estações do ano, épocas de seca e chuvosa, considerando as classes de antibióticos β-lactâmicos e tetraciclinas. Para isso, foram feitas análises utilizando o kit BetaStar® S Combo (Neogen) para detecção dos resíduos das classes β-lactâmicos e tetraciclinas. Houve descarte de leite na indústria pela presença de resíduos de antibióticos da classe β-lactâmicos e tetraciclinas, sendo que o maior volume de leite descartado foi devido a presença dos resíduos da classe β-lactâmicos. Observou-se que nas estações da primavera e verão e nos períodos chuvosos houve um aumento no descarte de leite pela presença de resíduos da classe tetraciclina em relação às estações do outono e inverno. Esses resultados apontam que a má utilização dos antibióticos em vacas lactantes e o não descarte do leite durante o período de carência nas propriedades rurais impactam em um volume maior de leite descartado pela indústria provocando perdas financeiras.

A primer biliaris cholangitis (PBC) egy krónikus gyulladással járó ismeretlen eredetű autoimmun cholesta­ticus májbetegség, amely kezeletlen esetben végstádiumú biliaris cirrózis kialakulásához vezet. A diagnó­zis a cholestaticus májenzimek emelkedett szintjén és ezzel egyidejűleg a szérumban kimutatható anti­mi­tokondriális (AMA) és/ vagy PBC specifikus antinukleáris antitestek (ANA) jelenlétén alapszik. A májbiopszia elvégzése a diagnózis felállításához ritka esetektől eltekintve nem szükséges. Az AMA­pozitivitás önmagában normál májenzimértékek esetén nem elégséges a PBC diagnózisának felállításához. A PBC a betegekre mind a májbetegség progressziója (májcirrózis kialakulása), mind pedig tünetei révén (cholestaticus viszketés, sic­ca komplex, fáradtság) hatással van. A betegség klinikai megjelenése és lefolyása különböző lehet, ezért a betegek személyre szabott kezelésének és gondozásának biztosítása fontos élethosszig tartóan. A kezelés és a gondozás célja a végstádiumú májbetegség kialakulásának megelőzése és az ezzel összefüggő tünetek eny­hítése. Az elsővonalbeli kezelésre az urzodeoxikólsav (UDCA) javasolt. Az orális obetikólsav­ (OCA) kezelést feltételesen jóváhagyták PBC­betegek kezelésére, UDCA­val kombinációban azon esetekre, akik nem meg­felelően reagálnak az UDCA­ra, vagy monoterápiaként azon betegekben, akiknél UDCA­intolerancia észlel­hető. Magyarországon társadalombiztosítási keretek között nem elérhető. A betegek májtranszplantációs előkészítése szükséges, ha a májcirrózis szövődményei alakulnak ki, vagy ha a betegség progrediál, mint pl. folyamatosan emelkedett bilirubinérték vagy MELD­pontszám >15, vagy súlyos, kezelésre nem reagáló visz­ketés jelentkezik. Minden PBC­s betegnél figyelembe kell venni, hogy fokozott osteoporosis­kockázat állhat fenn, ezért ennek szűrése és kezelése szükséges. Jelen összefoglaló az EASL klinikai gyakorlati útmutatója nyomán ismerteti a PBC­s betegek ellátásának strukturált, élethosszig tartó és egyéni megközelítését, amely keretet nyújt az ellátó hepatológusnak a diagnózis felállításához, a hatékony kezeléséhez és gondozásához.

Parents have a significant role in children education. Children maintain their knowledge and habits in school life and in the family environment throughout their lives. These behaviors and attitudes acquired in the family environment directly affect students' school success. In this study, the tradition of parents reading, democratic attitude, training, support, comparison, incompatibility, parent- school relationship, educational status, income levels, and the number of children have been compared. Survey method among quantitative research methods and demographic information scale developed by the researcher were used in the study. The third grade comprised a sample of 307 students from 9 schools determined by random sampling from primary schools in Northern Cyprus. It concluded that parents 'level of education, income level, divorce and having three children directly affected children's school success accaording to reading tradition, democratic attitude, educational support, comparison, lack of livelihood and the state of the parents' relationship with the school variables.

The current study aimed to explore the effects of group counseling with Gestalt therapy in reducing psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and stress among Yezidi Women who have fled the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It also aimed to investigate the impact of Gestalt group psychotherapy in reducing the flashbacks of the traumatic events in Yezidi women who have been traumatized and experienced traumatic events which will help them to forget about their past experience and start a new life, The participants of the study consisted of (15) women from the age group (14-24) who were selected from Bersiv Camp2 located in Zakho city in North Iraq. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale were used to reveal the levels of depression, anxiety and stress. The data was analyzed using independent sample t-test to examine the mean difference between the pretest and posttest of the level of depression, anxiety, and stress among the participants. The findings of this study indicated that these traumatized women suffered from depression, anxiety and stress. However, after undertaking group counseling with gestalt therapy techniques during two months, their levels of depression, anxiety and stress have been reduced. The differences were put to test and found to be significant. The researcher specified a number of recommendations and suggestions for further studies that will be of help for psychotherapists, psychologists and counselors to design psychological programs and strategies to control psychological disorders among traumatized people; especially women who have experienced traumatic events.
Effects of Involving Specialists in Human Trafficking Victim Support and Protection

As the level of criminality at European level in continuous growth, a recently introduced legislative package aiming to protect and promote victims’ rights has been introduced by the European Commission. The provisions of the “Victims Directive”, alongside of the First European Strategy to protect and promote victims’ rights are practically urging the member states to a full reversal of the victim’s position both within the civil society and within the justice system, as the victim goes from being the passive subject of a crime, to the active subject within the European support and protection mechanism. The present article reveals the results of a research conducted in the main source country for victims of human trafficking, Romania, with the aim of examining the extent to which the new provisions have been introduced into the national framework and into the national practice. By involving both practitioners and victims of crimes into the qualitative research, a series of systemic and procedural gaps have been identified and addressed and some positive, transferable practices could be revealed and promoted. Through the study interpreting data collected by means of structured interviews we came to the conclusion that most provisions of the new legislative framework have not been integrated into the generic victim support practice for reasons stemming from the obvious lack of funds to accommodate considerable societal institutional changes in a quick manner, to lack of personnel training and in some cases, attitudinal deficiencies of practitioners. On the other hand, a multidisciplinary, victim centred approach based on a public private partnership has proved to have positive results in the field of human trafficking victim support and crime prevention.
A Filosofia no Ensino Médio em Moçambique: Uma perspectiva polí­tica
Authors: Pinto Valmir Flores , De Sousa Samuel Antonio
Published: December 2020

O ensino de filosofia no ensino médio constitui uma realidade em Moçambique a partir da independência polí­tica e vem com propósito de contribuir para as soluções dos problemas que o paí­s estava a viver. Depois da independência em 1975, o paí­s conheceu momentos conflitantes, como a guerra civil, existência do monopartidarismo, a ausência da democracia e a liberdade de expressão. A inclusão da filosofia no currí­culo de ensino médio, a partir dos anos 90, tinha como finalidade contribuir para o desenvolvimento epistemológico, moral e polí­tico dos estudantes do ensino médio. Refira-se, segundo Ngoenha (1993), que a questão central da filosofia polí­tica é a liberdade como um esforço filosófico, o qual não pode deixar de se inscrever no quadro de um esforço africano mais global ligado ao nascimento da filosofia africana que, por seu turno, está intrinsecamente ligado à busca da identidade que caracteriza a visão africana. Portanto, a introdução da disciplina de filosofia no ensino médio alinha na necessidade de responder a uma causa comum de África em dotar os estudantes/cidadãos de uma visão africana que permitisse encontrar soluções dos problemas sociais de vária ordem assentes na indagação do mundo.

Photosynthetic responses of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to increasing durations of weed-free and weedy environments were investigated using a critical period for weed control study under field conditions. The presence of weeds induced the shade avoidance response and was accompanied by a reduced red to far-red ratio (R/Fr) of reflected light supporting previous assertions it is an important signal regulating crop-weed interactions. Despite increases in stomatal conductance and leaf intercellular [CO2] with increasing duration of weed presence, CO2 assimilation and photosynthetic efficiency continually declined. This coincided with reduced Calvin cycle capacity suggesting induction of biochemical rather than stomatal limitations on photosynthesis. Weed removal prior to reproductive stages resulted in maintenance of high photosynthetic capacity. When weed presence extended to reproductive stages and beyond the critical period for weed control, however, CO2 assimilation and photosynthetic efficiency never recovered. Yield was highly correlated with photosynthetic efficiency and in a similar manner, declined with increasing durations of weed presence through reduced seeds per plant. We conclude that the lasting consequence of weed competition is impairment of photosynthesis, which may provide an important mechanism to explain yield loss.
Confined Growth of NiAl-Layered Double Hydroxide Nanoparticles Within Alginate Gel: Influence on Electrochemical Properties
Authors: Prevot Vanessa , Touati Souad , Mousty Christine
Published: December 2020

NiAl Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) alginate bionanocomposites were synthesized by confined coprecipitation within alginate beads. The NiAl based bionanocomposites were prepared either by impregnation by divalent and trivalent metal cations of pre-formed calcium cross-linked alginate beads or by using the metal cations (Ni2+, Al3+) as crosslinking cationic agents for the biopolymer network. The impregnation step was systematically followed by a soaking in NaOH solution to induce the LDH coprecipitation. Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), electron microscopies (SEM and TEM) confirmed the biotemplated coprecipitation of LDH nanoparticles ranging from 75 to 150 nm for both strategies. The drying of the LDH@alginate beads by supercritical CO2 drying process led to porous bionanocomposite aerogels when Ca2+ cross-linked alginate beads were used. Such confined preparation of NiAl LDH was extended to bionanocomposite films leading to similar results. The permeability and the electrochemical behavior of these NiAl@alginate bionanocomposites, as thin films coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes, were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, demonstrating an efficient diffusion of the K4Fe(CN)6 redox probe through the LDH@alginate based films and the improvement of the electrochemical accessibility of the Ni sites.
