Authors:   Researcher Karakalpak State University named after Berdakh Nukus, Karakalpakstan, Jumaniyazova Feruza I.
Published: March 2023

Konglish (Korean 콩글리쉬) is officially a Korean-style English language and it is the English language used by Korean speakers. This term is a combination of the sounds of two words with different meanings, the less common terms are Korlish (1988), Korenglish (1992), Korglish (2000) and Kinglish (2000). Konglish contains words that have come into Korean from English, and many of them are incomprehensible to English speakers. A common example is the Korean term 핸드폰 (hand phone) for the English "mobile phone". Straight English words, wrongly translated words from English into Korean, or fake English words imported from Japanese have been used as the “Konglish” words in Korean. The use of “Konglish” is common in South Korea as a result of American cultural influence, but the language is not familiar to North Koreans. English is also present in the domains of main streets, restaurants, and shopping areas in Seoul and the rest of South Korea, where Koreans use English mainly to sociolinguistically express luxury, youth, sophistication, and modernity.

Ensino de Jovens e Adultos: princípios e desafios da Andragogia no Brasil
Authors: Pôncio Rafael José
Published: March 2023

Percebe-se que os adultos investem cada vez mais em sua formação, aprendendo não apenas através da prática, mas também debruçando-se sobre novas teorias e conhecimentos que possibilitam uma nova formação profissional ou uma maior atuação dentro de seus empregos. Essa necessidade também se mostra relevante para as empresas, visto que um funcionário bem qualificado agrega valor para os negócios. Por isso é possível perceber ações empresariais cada vez mais voltadas para a formação dos seus funcionários, tanto a nível público como privado. No setor público, por exemplo, estimula-se a continuidade na formação em ensino superior, principalmente em para cargos de chefia e como pré-requisitos para promoções. O funcionário, em geral, também recebe apoio para a conclusão destas formações, geralmente no formato de licenças remuneradas. Já no ambiente privado, treinamentos e consultorias também são apresentadas como formas de alinhar os colaboradores com as metas e propostas da empresa. Todos os treinamentos, cursos e demais formações internas do ambiente empresarial devem partir dos princípios da Andragogia, uma vez que a realidade do trabalho é, atualmente, uma premissa exclusiva dos adultos. Desse modo é possível perceber que a Andragogia está ganhando cada vez mais espaço para além da sala de aula, o que, em seu princípio, era o único ambiente em que a formação ocorria. Sendo assim, o que podemos perceber é que o horizonte de atuação das práticas andragógicas vão se estender ainda mais ao longo dos próximos anos, se tornando uma área fundamental dentro do mundo corporativo.

Published: March 2023

Image processing and artificial intelligence have come so far in the age of technology that they are now used in every field. AI is meant to help people do their jobs better and with less help. Virtual painting is a clever tool that lets us paint by just moving our hands. This app uses hand tracing and finger movement recording to show marks. With this program, we can open the camera on our computer or laptop and draw with our hands, colored pens, or pens we made ourselves. Image processing is used to figure out how the hand is moving. This turns the person in front of the camera into a great illustrator who can pick out colors and draw in similar directions on the screen. OpenCV, which is the brain of the system, and Media Pipe have been added to this application.

Published: March 2023

Este artigo tem como base a dissertação de mestrado defendida no Programa de Pós Graduação em Educação e Contemporaneidade da Universidade Estadual da Bahia – UNEB, cuja pesquisa realizada foi sobre o movimento dos trabalhadores pelo acesso à educação, principalmente, na primeira República e procura contribuir com os estudos referentes à educação anarquista, sem a pretensão de esgotar as reflexões e o debate. Como procedimento metodológico adotou-se a pesquisa documental em fontes primárias e levantamento bibliográfico sobre a temática. O resultado do estudo demonstra que as diferentes correntes ideológicas da época, que disputavam a hegemonia nas organizações políticas dos trabalhadores, estavam tão empenhadas em diversas iniciativas na luta pela educação formal para as categorias representadas por elas, que a educação libertária propôs um modelo próprio, visando a transformação da sociedade capitalista.

COSMOLOGIA E KILOMBOS
Authors: Costa Junior Jair , Cristina da Silva Cassia
Published: March 2023

Este ensaio apresenta uma crítica voltada às bases de sustentação dos modos de vida contemporâneo das sociedades ocidentais ou ocidentalizadas, sobejamente questionados em razão dos resultados constatados concernentes as incertezas quanto aos recursos naturais, tratados como matéria-prima para a produção de capital; e as relações sociais globalizadas, pautadas nas diferenças como denotativo de hierarquias. A intenção é demonstrar como a cosmovisão de uma cultura constitui-se um arcabouço de referências que orienta os comportamentos individuais, coletivos e políticos. Destacamos elementos e fenômenos oriundos dos modos de vida ocidental como herança da cultura eurocêntrica do colonialismo/imperialismo e, a contrapelo, as epistemologias do povo negro, transmitidas por meio das tradições orais, herança ontológica e cosmológica das sociedades africanas, como práticas contra-colonização do corpo, da natureza, do saber e do espírito. Evidenciado que há uma luta sendo travada no plano da cosmologia como disputa de projeto societário.

Published: March 2023

O presente estudo trata do fechamento de escola e os impactos sobre o território rural. Os efeitos a médio e longo prazo para um território, foi relatado por uma moradora local à partir de estudo de caso onde participou do processo de fechamento e narrou, além do processo, os efeitos vivenciados após o acontecimento que marcou a sua história de vida pessoal, profissional bem como a de toda a comunidade. Com objetivo geral de analisar os efeitos do fechamento de escolas para a comunidade rural, tem como objetivos específicos: enumerar os interesses econômicos do fechamento da escola; caracterizar o processo de fechamento e seus desdobramentos e sintetizar em que medida as comunidades podem resistir a esses processos. A metodologia consiste na fundamentação teórica em autores da área de educação que pesquisam a educação do campo e o fechamento de escolas como Pereira (2017), Mazur (2016), Schmitz (2015), dentre outros e também o estudo de caso onde utilizou-se a técnica de coleta de dados a partir do questionário enviado pelo aplicativo de whatsapp com a moradora local. O problema gira em torno da questão: Quais os efeitos do fechamento de escolas sobre o território rural? Concluiu-se que o fechamento de escola contribui para o êxodo rural, para a expansão do latifúndio e “periferização” do campo e das pequenas propriedades. Ainda, estagna os processos de desenvolvimento da agricultura, provoca o extermínio de cultura local e o empobrecimento social.

Published: March 2023

The Aloe vera commonly known as Gwarpatha or Ghrit Kumari is considered as a universal panacea. It is a gifted plant for the health, beauty, medicinal and skincare industry. However, considering the multiple uses of it in other sectors also, it needed to be explored further for other than known industrial and medicinal values. The present study highlights the additional industrial and medicinal properties of the plant. It includes preliminary phytochemicals screening, GC-MS analysis of a Methanolic Extract of Aloe vera (MEAV) leaves and finding out the compounds activities at the international compounds databases of NCBI like PubChem, Drug Bank etc. Out of 200 compounds detected through GC-MS, mainly 46 compounds falling in major peak areas were further explored at the compounds databases. Accordingly, some key phytocompounds such as α-D Glucose, Lactose, Maltotriose, Citronellyl Butyrate, Phytol, Myristic Acid, Capric Acid, Heptadecanoic Acid etc. depicted the important industrial activities like sweet modulator of food stuff, diluents/sweetener for dairy, alcohol, soft drinks, health, beauty, confectionary and pharmaceutical industry; moisturizing and fragrance agent in cream, shampoo, soap, perfumed products; emulsifier, texture enhancer; agent for the lubricants, greases, dyes, plastics, detergent and biodiesel etc. Other than them, several phytocompounds showing medicinal properties like anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, immunity booster, therapeutic agents for Rheumatoid Arthritis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, Asthma, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, Osteoporosis, Insomnia, etc. were also identified in the plant. Consequently, Aloe vera with its great industrial values can be a good source of raw material for several other industries like food, beverage, cosmetic, detergent, soaps, biodiesel pharmaceutical and may be considered for the sustainable aloe-cultivation as alternative cash crop in drought prone area like Bundelkhand region.

Published: March 2023

Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the leading cause of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types among women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2-3) and to evaluate the interest of high-risk HPV typing by hybrid capture 2 (HC2) in severe cervical dysplasias. 110 women were subjected to cyto-histological diagnostics and to the HPV test by HC2. The HC2 performance tests included Chi 2. Our results showed that the average age at the gynecological consultation in relation to cervical lesions was 38.75 ± 9.59 (22-72 years). The overall prevalence of HPV infection was 41.8%. High-risk HPV (HR-HPV) was detected in 31.8% of the total patients. In comparison with the other cytopathological stages, the HC2 test made it possible to evaluate the rate of HR-HPV at the CIN2/3 stage at 86% (p<0.0061). In conclusion the prevalence of HR-HPV associated with cervical lesions is comparable to those in the literature. HC2 Allows good detection of HR-HPV in severe cervical dysplasias and can be used to compensate for the absence of vaccines in our country.

Published: March 2023

We combine the Planck-SZ2 galaxy cluster catalog with near-infrared photometry of galaxies from the VISTA Hemisphere Survey to identify candidate brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in 306 massive clusters in the Southern skies at redshifts of z > 0.1. We find that 91% of these clusters have at least one candidate BCG within the 95% confidence interval on the cluster centers quoted by the Planck collaboration, providing reassurance that our analyses are statistically compatible, and find 92% to be reasonable candidates following a manual inspection. We make our catalog publicly available to assist colleagues interested in multi-wavelength studies of cluster cores, and the search for gravitationally lensed explosive transients in upcoming surveys including the Legacy Survey of Space and Time by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Sri Lanka is a local hotspot for Cnemaspis day geckos with 40 currently known species with 100% endemism. In this paper, we evaluate the phylogenetic relationships of Cnemaspis species belonging to the alwisi group of the podihuna clade and describe two additional new species of Cnemaspis from Sri Lanka; one from Galgiriya mountain, Kurunegala District, and another from Ethagala mountain, Ampara District. These new species were recorded from granite caves within forested areas in isolated mountains in the dry bioclimatic zone (point-endemics). Both new species are microhabitat specialists with narrow niches limited to humid, cool, canopy-shaded granite caves and old buildings associated with granite caves, where they are camouflaged by their cryptic morphology and body colouration. Furthermore, both species prefer narrow (~ 6–12 mm), long (~ 120–450 mm) and deep (~ 80–260 mm) crevices as refugia. The regions in which these habitats are located receive relatively low annual rainfall (1,000–1,500 mm). These new species are medium in size (28.5–36.8 mmSVL) and can be differentiated from all other Sri Lankan Cnemaspis by the presence of clearly enlarged, subhexagonal subcaudal scales and the absence of precloacal pores in males. Both species described here are categorised herein as Critically Endangered (CR) under the IUCN Red List criteria. The major threats for these new species are habitat loss due to expansion of commercial-scale agriculture, illicit forest encroachments, and forest fires. Therefore, we recommend that relevant authorities take immediate conservation action to ensure the protection of these forest areas with their buffer zones in the near future.

Due to the recent climate change, organizations all over the globe are developing plans for reducing carbon emissions by developing clean energy technologies and energy efficient devices. However, the path for transition to green energy system is still unclear and in general, the representation of green energy supply for transition pathways is limited. Therefore, this study outlines a plan for getting Swedish energy sector completely carbon neutral by 2050. The approach can also be applicable to the majority of nations worldwide. Computer based simulations are performed on Energy PLAN software for making clean, green and sustainable energy system that can balance every component of entire energy system during the study period 2022 to 2050. This study takes into account the sustainable use of renewable sources for all economic sectors as well as the interchange of energy with nearby nations under the two scenarios. Additionally, the energy system works in tandem with other industries to create a fully carbon-free environment. The results revealed that, 50% de-carbonization is possible till 2035 and 100% de-carbonization is possible till 2050. This enables a discussion of how ambitious 10-year goals might serve as a first step toward the mid-century elimination of fossil fuels from the energy sector.

The past few decades have been marked by a substantial increase in health spending in Central and Eastern European countries. At the same time, healthcare systems have experienced significant changes, as a consequence of economic and political transformation processes that these countries have undergone after the fall of communism. The aim of this paper was to briefly present current situation and trends in healthcare financing in Central and Eastern European countries. Our approach is based on an analysis of a number of healthcare expenditures indicators which are connected to healthcare spending patterns in each of these countries. Comparative research of these countries aims to demonstrate a degree of similarities or variations in the structure and finances in health systems. According to results, public involvement in health financing is still dominant in the majority of countries, but it has recorded a downward trend. On the other hand, private spending has been increasing mostly due to increase in out-of-pocket payments.

Managerial economics, with its specificity, provides a special insight into the management of private health care institutions. According to the sources of the Financial Agency (FINA) and the national classification of activities (8622 and 8610), the observed industry in the Republic of Croatia in 2020 contains 675 entities, out of which 9 are in special private hospitals (8610), and others are in specialist medical practice (8622). The effectiveness of managers in conditions of uncertainty and increased risk is reflected in the availability of information and their experience in similar situations. Precisely the lack of information that was present at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic indicates the effective strategic thinking of managers (owners) of the observed institutions who responded in a timely manner to market needs in these conditions. In doing so, they acted as a substitute for specialist health care because it was not able to provide adequate service to the required extent. Key words: managerial economics, private health care, COVID-19 pandemic, company, market structure

Creating a Digital 3D Model of the Dental Cast Using Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry Technique
Authors: Al-Tameemi Reem , Hamandi Sadiq , Al-Mahdi Akmam
Published: March 2023

Photogrammetry is a technique used to obtain a reliable database of any physical object, by creating a digital 3d model using multiple photos taken at different angles around the object. Recently, several fields have used this technique to build digital 3D models, such as topography, architecture, engineering, and medicine.  Many recent dentistry studies have used the Structure-from-motion (SfM) Photogrammetry technique to reconstruct a digital three-dimensional (3D) model of a dental cast as an alternative to conventional scanning. In this research, the dental casts are constructed by applying the SfM Photogrammetry technique in which a guide to stepwise workflow is provided by utilizing simple tools which are: a smartphone camera, homemade photo studio setup, and Agisoft Metashape software. The agreements between the generated models and the reference dental casts are assessed using the Bland Altman method by calculating the mean value differences. All the calculated differences are not statistically significant (P-value >0.05), and they are also clinically accepted as the range of the mean differences (-0.042 to 0.355) is less than 0.5mm. this demonstrates that the resulted 3D models closely approximate the overall geometry of the dental casts.
Investigation of Early-Stage Breast Cancer Detection using Quantum Neural Network
Authors: Amjad Y. Sahib  , Muazez Al Ali  , Musaddiq Al Ali
Published: March 2023

aided image diagnostics (CAD) have been used in many fields of diagnostic medicine. It relies heavily on classical computer vision and artificial intelligence. Quantum neural network (QNN) has been introduced by many researchers around the world and presented recently by research corporations such as Microsoft, Google, and IBM. In this paper, the investigation of the validity of using the QNN algorithm for machine-based breast cancer detection was performed. To validate the learnability of the QNN, a series of learnability tests were performed alongside with classical convolutional neural network (CCNN).  QNN is built using the Cirq library to perform the assimilation of quantum computation on classical computers.  Series of investigations were performed to study the learnability characteristics of QNN and CCNN under the same computational conditions. The comparison was performed for real Mammogram data sets. The investigations showed success in terms of recognizing the data and training. Our work shows better performance of QNN in terms of successfully training and producing a valid model for smaller data set compared to CCNN.
Evidential Decision Theory and the Ostrich
Authors: Levinstein Benjamin Anders , Isaacs Yoaav
Published: March 2023

Evidential Decision Theory is flawed, but its flaws are not fully understood. David Lewis (1981) famously charged that EDT recommends an irrational policy of managing the news and “commends the ostrich as rational”. Lewis was right, but the case he appealed to—Newcomb’s Problem—does not demonstrate his conclusion. Indeed, decision theories other than EDT, such as Committal Decision Theory and Functional Decision Theory, agree with EDT's verdicts in Newcomb’s Problem, but their flaws, whatever they may be, do not stem from any ostrich-like recommendations. We offer a new case which shows that EDT mismanages the news, thus vindicating Lewis’s original charge. We argue that this case reveals a flaw in the “Why ain’cha rich?” defense of EDT. We argue further that this case is an advance on extant putative counterexamples to EDT.

Early Childhood in the Era of Post-humanism: Lending an Ear to Nature
Authors: Jansen van Vuuren Eurika
Published: March 2023

Parents, or pre-school educators in early childhood education, focus on assisting children to attain the highest possible pre-numeracy and pre-literacy skills in an attempt to give children a better academic foundation. Children are presented with technology, for example, in the form of a tablet, that act as baby-sitters even before they can speak properly, and this has largely deafened them to the sounds of nature. Sounds of man and machine are the only ones most children will be exposed to, due to their living in cities with few natural spaces. Children are not taken into nature to experience it and get to know the sounds of the bio-network, of which they are an integral part. Rural children may have a better chance to get to know, respect and cherish nature, due to their context, but their guides - parents and/or communities - have sunken into their own disregard for their environment. It is only when children are taught to listen to and appreciate nature that they will be enabled to begin moving back to being ‘mensch’ where the focus, ironically, moves away from the human and focuses instead on creating an equilibrium between humanity and nature, rather than stripping the planet of its natural resources through harmful practices. This empirical research explored the literature to highlight the significance of listening as a mode of developing an appreciation of and caring for nature. Attuning children of the post-humanist era to their natural environment through listening will encourage them to understand their function as part of nature, and assist in the restoration of the planet.
A Reflection on Implementation of Posthumanist Pedagogy in Polytechnics in Zimbabwe during COVID-19 Era
Authors: Nyika Richard , Motalenyane Alfred Modise
Published: March 2023

The COVID-19-induced lockdown resulted in the closure of learning institutions and subsequent intermittent college attendance as a way of preventing the spread of the virus. In Zimbabwe, the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation Science, and Technology Development instructed tertiary institutions to adopt online learning in addition to face-to-face learning as a way of ensuring that learning continued during COVID-19 restrictions. There was a shift from exclusively humanist education, where humans have been believed to be the only agents in the teaching and learning process, to posthumanist education, where technology was used as a tool for learning. This study explored the organisational preparedness of TVET institutions to take on board posthuman pedagogy when online learning was blended with face-to-face learning. This was a qualitative study that used observations and in-depth interviews to collect data on the institutional preparedness of two randomly sampled TVET institutions to embrace posthumanist education. Ten randomly sampled lecturers were interviewed to elicit their views and experiences of implementing blended learning, which is largely ingrained in posthuman pedagogy. An observation was made on the suitability of technological infrastructure to support blended learning. Ten randomly selected students from each institution participated in focus group discussions to elicit the organisational preparedness of institutions for blended learning. Results showed that the institutions were not ready for blended learning. Lecturers and students were not equipped or skilled to use online technologies. The infrastructure to drive online learning was inadequate. Inadequacies in the internet infrastructure affected their understanding and acceptance of online learning.
