Authors:   The Korean Association of Practical Arts Education, Kim Hyo-Shim
Published: June 2024

This study analyzed pre-service teachers’ educational needs regarding the content elements of clothing life education included in the “human development and leading life” and “living environment and sustainable choice” areas of the 2022 revised Practical Arts Education curriculum. The study employed Borich's calculating model using the score gap between the required competence level (RCL) and their present competence level (PCL). The survey included 18 content elements related to clothing life education: 4 items in the knowledge and understanding category, 7 items in the process and function category, and 7 items in the value and attitude category. The data were collected through a survey of 413 pre-service teachers at J University, with additional questions on sex, school year, major, and experience with clothing life lectures. The study used SPSS Statistics 24 to statistically analyze the data.
The main findings are as follows:
First, pre-service teachers tended to value the teacher's ability and highly rate their abilities in the values and attitudes categories of clothing life education. There were statistically significant differences according to gender and experience with clothing life lectures. Second, educational needs for clothing life education content elements tended to be concentrated in the “living environment and sustainable choice” area, especially in the process and function categories, and encompassed elements from the value and attitude category. The highest needs were for planning and implementing sustainable actions in everyday life, followed by exploring ways to increase the value and use of living resources, sustainable food, clothing, living life, self-made, and creative attitudes, attitudes toward cherishing living resources, and understanding the impact of one's choices on the community’s life and environment.
Based on these results, the conclusions and suggestions are as follows:
First, the clothing life education for pre-service teachers should prioritize and balance content elements in the “living environment and sustainable choice” area. It is necessary to devise integrated programs that cultivate practical values and attitudes through activities in the process and function categories. Second, strategies should be planned considering the gender of pre-service teachers, and efforts should be made to expand and implement clothing life education. Third, it is essential to further study the educational needs related to the specific textbook units, including input from field teachers, and the results should inform teacher education and retraining programs.

Following the exponential growth of information and communication technologies, the smartphone market, as well as advances in wireless data networks (3G and 4G), has accelerated. Mobile apps for social networking and instant messaging have been created by these firms. Other instant messaging (IM) smartphone programs like WhatsApp (WA), Viber, and IMO have also been created. WA is the most widely used instant messaging program. With WA, you can send and receive messages in a variety of formats, including text, voice, video, and documents. Various cybercrime incidents were committed through WA's. WA use leaves several artifacts that may be examined to detect the digital evidence. In addition, iOS and Android are two of the most popular smartphone operating systems. Because of this, the inquiry will involve the use of forensic investigative techniques and methodologies. Forensics on both iOS and Android cellphones were utilized to investigate a digital crime that was believed to have been perpetrated in WA. To conclude the investigation, we analyzed chat logs, phone records, and other media to gather proof. Legal framework and established processes were used to guarantee that evidence was preserved from change or destruction and that the witness's account was acceptable in court throughout the investigative process. It was finally stated that the inquiry and evidence had been presented. As a result, WA forensic artifacts might be evaluated and found effectively utilizing the mobile forensic procedure.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the mass ratio on the capacitance of electrodes made from TiO2-based composites. The composites were synthesized using a wet chemical method and applied using the doctor blade technique, incorporating TiO2 and rGO derived from coconut shell activated carbon. Our findings reveal that at a 1:1 mass ratio, the atomic composition of Ti and O was non-uniform, although there was evident adherence of TiO2 elements to the sample surface. In contrast, at mass ratios of 1:3 and 1:5, a decrease in the concentration of Ti atoms and an increase in O atoms were observed, indicating a reduction in Ti oxidation. SEM analysis further revealed that particle size significantly impacts capacitance: smaller particle sizes yielded higher capacitance. In the 1:1 mass variation, the discharge process was protracted, taking up to 29.3 minutes and generating an electrical energy of 0.000413 joules with a capacitance of 489 μF. These insights are pivotal for optimizing the composition and mass ratio, fostering the development of electrode materials characterized by enhanced capacitance and energy efficiency. Such advancements hold promising potential for a range of applications in the energy storage sector.

Published: June 2024

The growth regulators in media have the potential to significantly influence the process of in vitro plant regeneration. The response of explants in forming shoots also depends on the type and the combination of growth regulators. This research aimed to identify the most optimal type and concentration of cytokinin for the multiplication of in vitro porang shoots. Additionally, it determined whether the addition of cytokinins should be accompanied by auxin/IAA for porang shoot multiplication. To achieve these objectives, a completely randomized design with six replications was employed, followed by a 5% BNJ. The tested treatments consisted of various combinations of growth regulators. Several observations were recorded, including the speed of explants forming prospective shoots/shoots (days), the age of the explants forming prospective shoots/shoots, the number of prospective shoots and shoots produced per explant, and shoot height (cm). The results showed that 1) Tdz 2 and IAA 0.5 mg.l-1 formed the highest shoots candidates and shoots in porang multiplication in vitro, and 2) the addition of BAP and Tdz 2 mg.l-1 should be combined with IAA 0.5 mg.l-1, while BAP and Tdz 3 mg.l-1 did not require IAA.

Tomato plants are expected to have an ideal growing environment to optimize their growth and production. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of various concentrations of biofertilizer, mulch types, and their interactions on growth and production of the Gustavi F1 tomato cultivar. A randomized group design (RGD) arranged factorially was used for the analysis, with the first factor consisting of no mulch (M0), straw mulch (M1), and plastic mulch (M2). The second factor was five biofertilizer concentrations, including 0 ml.l-1 (L0), 5 ml.l-1 (L1), 10 ml.l-1 (L2) 15 ml.l-1 (L3), and 20 ml.l-1 (L4). Data were analyzed using the F test (analysis of variance), and in cases of significant differences, the analysis proceeded with Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at an α level of 5%. Growth parameters observed in the experiments included plant height at 1 and 3 weeks after planting, while production parameters comprised fruit diameter, the number of fruits per plant, the percentage of fruits experiencing Blossom End-Rot (BER), and fruit weight per plot. The results showed that the use of plastic mulch significantly increased the number of fruits per plant, while the 0 ml.l-1 biofertilizer concentration showed the most effective reduction in the percentage of fruits experiencing BER. Moreover, an interaction between mulch and biofertilizer treatments was observed, particularly in relation to plant height 1 week after planting, the number of fruits per plant, and the percentage of fruits experiencing BER.

Misconceptions about Acceleration among Prospective Physics Teacher: The Importance of Discussion of Acceleration as a Vector Quantity
Authors:   Universitas Sanata Dharma, Sarkim Tarsisius
Published: June 2024

When teaching, researchers found that many students had misconceptions about acceleration. Students' understanding of acceleration is influenced by the terms acceleration and deceleration in everyday life. This misconception results in obstacles to a deeper understanding of motion and an inconsistent understanding of force and its influence on objects. The researcher was curious about what caused this misconception. Researchers suspect that students' misconceptions about acceleration occur because the concept of acceleration is not fully understood as a vector quantity and understanding acceleration is independent of understanding the influence of force on acceleration. This research aims to describe the problem of misconceptions experienced by prospective physics teacher students regarding acceleration and its possible causes. Data was collected over four years, namely from 114 prospective physics teacher students in the first semester of the physics education study program until 2022.They were high school graduates majoring in science where physics, which includes mechanics, is one of the compulsory subjects. Data was collected through multiple choice tests and descriptions. The research results show that the misconceptions experienced by students are: 1) Acceleration is not fully understood as a vector quantity; 2) Students have difficulty explaining the relationship between acceleration and the force that causes it.
Bedahşan İsmaililerine Ait Şifahi Bir Metin: Guharriz
Authors: Ay Zahide
Published: June 2024

Orta Asya’nın güneydoğu kesimlerinde, Hindikuş, Pamir ve Karakurum sıradağları bölgesinde ortaya çıkmış Bedahşan İsmailî geleneği, çeşitli yazılı ortodoks İsmailî metinlerini asırlardır kendi içlerinde sürekli kopyalamanın yanı sıra, tıpkı Anadolu Alevi geleneği gibi, heterodoks (“merkez”den çok “çevre”ye ait olan anlamında) bir topluma mahsus çeşitli şifahi eserler de üretmiştir. Biz bu çalışmada bu şifahi metinlerden Guharriz’i irdelemeye çalışacağız.
Bölgenin kendi içinden çıkan bir eser olan Guharriz’in edebî ve entelektüel düzeyi yüksek değildir. İçerisinde birçok yazım yanlışı vardır. Nesir tarzında yazılmış olmasıyla birlikte içinde çoğu Nasır-ı Hüsrev’e atfedilen şiirler de bulunmaktadır. Bizim açımızdan önemi, sözlü geleneğin hâkim olduğu dağlı heterodoks bir Alevi-İsmailî toplumu anlamamız bakımından, sadece teolojik mahiyette olmayıp tarihsel ipuçları da sunması açısından, bize göre bölgede üretilmiş en kullanışlı eser olmasıdır. Metnin içerisindeki bazı unsurların, örneğin yaratılış ile ilgili hikayelerin tıpkı Alevi Buyruk metinlerindeki gibi olması da bizlere Anadolu Aleviliğine bir başka açıdan bakmamızı sağlayabilecek bir tür laboratuvar sunması özelliğiyle, bizim için ayrıca önem taşır. Her iki gelenek de -Bedahşan İsmailîliği, cenaze töreni sırasında okunan Çerağname’de; Alevi-Bektaşi geleneği ise Vilayetname’de- Ahmed Yesevi’ye kudsiyet atfetmektedir. Bize göre Bedahşan İsmailîliği ve Anadolu Aleviliği arasındaki tek fark, birinin resmi olarak bir İsmailî devlete bağlı olması dolayısıyla dinî kimliğinin “Şii” olarak tescillenmiş olması bakımından aidiyeti konusunda akademisyenler arasında bir tereddüt söz konusu olmazken; diğerinin tarihsel açıdan Moğol istilaları sonrası tasavvufi bir ortamda ortaya çıkması ve resmî olarak herhangi bir Şii devlete bağlı olmaması dolayısıyla hangi dinî kimliğe ait olduğu konusunda hala tartışmalı olmasıdır. Hangi dinî kimliğe ait oldukları tartışması dışında, geleneksel açıdan ve ürettikleri şifahi malzeme açısından birbirlerine çok benzemektedirler. Guharriz metni, bize bunu sunan elimizdeki başlıca eserlerden biridir.

Objectives: Post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms were widely reported.However, data on post-COVID-19 conditions following infection with the Omicron variant remained scarce. This prospective study was conducted to understand the prevalence, patterns, and duration of symptoms in patients who had recovered from COVID-19.Methods: A prospective study was conducted across 11 districts of Delhi, India, among individuals who had recovered from COVID-19. Study participants were enrolled, and then returned for post-recovery follow-up at 3 months and 6 months interval.Results: The mean age of study participants was 42.07 years, with a standard deviation of 14.89 years. The majority of the participants (79.7%) reported experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms. The most common symptoms included joint pain (36.0%), persistent dry cough (35.7%), anxiety (28.4%), and shortness of breath (27.1%). Other symptoms were persistent fatigue (21.6%), persistent headache (20.0%), forgetfulness (19.7%), and limb weakness (18.6%). The longest duration of symptom was observed to be anxiety (138.75±54.14 days), followed by fatigue (137.57±48.33 days), shortness of breath (131.89±60.21 days), and joint pain/swelling (131.59±58.76 days). At the first follow-up visit, 2.2% of participants presented with abnormal electrocardiogram readings, but no abnormalities were noticed during the second follow-up. Additionally, 4.06% of participants exhibited abnormal chest X-ray findings at the first follow-up, which decreased to 2.16% by the second visit. Conclusion: The most frequently reported post-COVID-19 symptoms were joint pain, dry cough, anxiety and shortness of breath. These clinical symptoms persisted for up to 6 months, with evidence of multi-system involvement. Consequently, findings highlighted the need for long-term follow-up during the post-COVID-19 period.

Authors: Kang Du-Wang , Koh Su-Han , Kim Min-Kyo , Kim Do-Yeon
Published: June 2024

Objectives: This study investigated the impacts of exercise on irisin and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) expression, as well as triiodothyronine (T3) and free fatty acid (FFA) levels in elderly women.Methods: Thirty women aged 65 to 70 years (10 per group) were randomly assigned to aquatic exercise, land exercise, and control groups. The aquatic and land groups engaged in 3 exercise sessions per week (60 min/session) for 16 weeks. The intensity was progressively increased every 4 weeks.Results: Irisin and FGF-21 levels significantly increased in the aquatic exercise group. In the post-test, the aquatic exercise group had the highest irisin levels. Significant findings were observed for irisin and FGF-21 for the main effect between aquatic and band exercise groups (p<0.05 for both), the main effect between measurement times (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively), and the interaction effect (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively). The irisin level was significantly higher in the aquatic than in the land group 30 minutes after the last session (p<0.05). In both exercise groups, T3 levels were significantly higher 30 minutes after the final session (p<0.05) than before the program. The FFA level was significantly higher in the aquatic exercise group than the others. In the aquatic group, FFA levels were significantly higher 30 minutes after both the first (p<0.01) and the last (p<0.001) session compared to pre-program values.Conclusion: Differences in exercise type and environment can promote fat metabolism by stimulating hormonal changes that induce brown fat activity and browning.

Municipal waste management plays a crucial role in our communities and has far-reaching implications. Effective waste management contributes to environmental conservation. By reducing waste, recycling, and implementing sustainable practices, we protect our ecosystems and natural resources. Due to the increasing volume of waste and the increasingly complex administration of its collection and disposal, solid waste management is quickly becoming a demanding issue for municipalities all over the world. The objective of the paper was to describe the impacts of communal waste management on municipal budgets and to compare waste management expenditure intensity. The legislative changes, the focus on minimising waste for disposal and promoting a material recycling orientation will have a significant impact on municipal budgets. Local authorities must adjust to the standards established by the European Union. The Slovak Republic will need to progressively adopt these standards by incorporating them into national law

Published: June 2024

Background

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. It frequently metastasizes to bone, brain, lung, and liver, causing a shorter survival. Unusual metastasis also occurs. A few reports have been published, and the majority of described metastatic sites involved the gastrointestinal system and, occasionally, the thyroid gland. Gastrointestinal metastasis from primary lung cancer is rare; however, metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract as an event is frequent. However, distant metastasis to the thyroid gland is a rare event for all types of tumors.

Case presentation

In the present study, we report two cases of primary lung carcinoma with isolated colonic and thyroid metastases. The first one was a patient with lung cancer who presented with an acute abdomen and underwent right hemicolectomy, which revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of lung origin. The second one was a patient who presented with thyroid swelling that was preoperatively diagnosed as a metastatic thyroid carcinoma to the lung. So, the patient underwent total thyroidectomy with bilateral neck dissection. But the microscopic examination showed a picture of metastatic adenocarcinoma with mucoid activity, which was of pulmonary origin.

Conclusion

Thyroid and gastrointestinal metastases from lung cancer are rare, but they should be put into consideration. Clinical and radiologic evaluations are mandatory to help reach the diagnosis, but pathologic confirmation is inevitable.

Authors: Bognár József , Kiss Zoltán , Csáki István , Trzaskoma-Bicsérdy Gabriella , Trzaskoma Łukasz , Révész László
Published: June 2024

Soccer academies are responsible for the comprehensive development of young athletes, including formal education, living, and preparation for tournaments. Research on soccer youth development from the perspectives of coaches and parents of sports academy students has been limited. This study aimed to discover their perspectives on the key internal and external factors that influence the development of young soccer talents. Questionnaire data were collected from 79 coaches and 326 parents of U15 to U19 soccer players across eight soccer academies across four Central and Eastern European countries. The questionnaires presented 33 Likert-scale type questions organized around four dimensions to include internal factors, professional/sports factors, family/school factors, and other external factors.

Independent sample t-tests were used to demonstrate the differences between sub-samples, and a stepwise discriminant analysis to highlight the major influential factors.

The results indicate that both coaches and parents emphasize the importance of internal, professional/sports, and other external factors in soccer talent development. Coaches ranked cognitive (t=2.450, p=0.015), psychological (t=3.082, p=0.002), pedagogical (t=2.663, p=0.008) and moral role modeling (t=3.382, p=0.001) factors higher than parents. Parents gave higher priorities to the importance of the team’s results in the championship (t=-4.827, p=0.000), school results (t=-4.028, p=0.000), and financial support from family (t=-6.836, p=0.000). Overall, coaches’ beliefs focus upon professional conduct, expectations of the profession and the academy, while parents focus on supporting their children’s school and sports successes.

Ongoing cooperation between parents and coaches is critical to bring positive changes in the development and long-term successes of young players.
The violent beauty of a banlieue wasteland garden
Authors: Harper Sarah
Published: June 2024

Participatory arts can invite stormy and violent forms of participation when they are commissioned for sites where frustration, territorial control and pre-emptive self-defense involve practices of accepted street codes by those living within racialized, febrile territories. Through the case study of Aroma Home, a participatory art gardening project, in Paris’s northern peripheries, I analyze instances of affective, symbolic, performative and territorial violence as non-normative political acts of participation. Examining the underlying contexts and logics that led to these incidents, I argue that the most insidious act of violence in the project was the creation of our invasive, extractive garden on a hitherto unclaimed and unidentified patch of ‘free’ public ground. In creating a new identity for this wasteland and defining its use, we effectively limited, and implicitly prescribed, modes of participation that were culturally alien to those we most wanted to involve.
Deconstructing homelessness: Alternative narratives on and by marginalized and homeless groups in the city of Bologna
Authors: Sabatini Francesca
Published: June 2024

The paper addresses the political and cultural problem underpinning mainstream narratives on homelessness. The absence of data, in conjunction with the misconceptions associated with homelessness, translate into the criminalization and stigmatization of homelessness, both at the local level and in fragmented policies at national and international levels. Section one presents an overview of homelessness as a cultural and political problem; section two then introduces the Italian situation and Bologna as a case study. After a presentation of the method followed in section three, sections four and five describe and then discuss two projects initiated by a political collective in the city of Bologna that directly involve homeless people in the deconstruction of imageries and narratives around homelessness. Finally, section six draws conclusions about the need to generate new narratives capable of accounting for the intersectional and complex nature of the phenomenon of homelessness: new narratives capable of restoring to the homeless their articulate human identity.

Published: June 2024

Objective: It aims to carry out a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on this serious complication. Through critical analysis of relevant articles, we seek to deepen knowledge about the main infection control measures, the clinical panorama of events and the impacts on patients' health.
 
Method: In a systematic journey through relevant databases, such as PubMed, LILACS and SCIELO, 10 studies published between 2019 and 2024 were identified and analyzed.
 
Results and Discussion: The incidence of ACSC varies according to several factors, such as type of catheter, insertion site, length of stay and patient characteristics. The use of long-term catheters, insertion into the subclavian vein and colonization by antibiotic-resistant microorganisms increase the risk. ACSI can manifest itself through fever, chills, sweating, hypotension and other symptoms. Diagnosis is made through blood cultures and other laboratory tests. ACSCs can lead to prolonged hospitalization, increased costs, septic shock, organ failure and death. Preventing CLABSIs is fundamental and depends on rigorous measures, such as: Recent literature offers several valuable studies that contribute to the understanding of CLABSIs. The development of risk prediction models and the implementation of prevention packages such as the PPC are promising tools for reducing the incidence of CLABSI and improving patient outcomes.
 
Conclusion: CLABSI represents a significant challenge, but with effective prevention and control, we can minimize its impacts and guarantee patient safety. Continuous research and implementation of best practices are essential to combat this serious complication.

Osteoma is a benign osteogenic neoplasm characterized by gradual growth. Commonly, it manifests in the craniofacial region, marked by the proliferation of compact and/or cancellous bone. Despite its frequent occurrence, peripheral osteoma’s precise etiology and pathogenesis remain unknown. Post-surgical excision recurrence is rare, and malignant transformation has yet to be documented. This study aims to detail an unusual case of an 11-year-old male patient presenting with a solitary peripheral osteoma in the right retromolar trigone region, a previously unreported site. The patient was initially asymptomatic, but after one month, the lesion induced facial asymmetry and discomfort while chewing. Successful surgical intervention resulted in the lesion's removal, and after 1 year of monitoring, no signs of recurrence were observed.

Achieving a favorable outcome after endodontic treatment depends on a clear understanding of tooth anatomy, identification of variations, and precise root canal location. Multi-rooted mandibular molars often deviate from the expected configuration, sometimes featuring additional roots, such as radix entomolaris (RE) and radix paramolaris (RP), posing challenges during treatment. Detecting these variations is challenging due to their proximity to the distal root, and overlooking them can lead to complications. This study presents three cases involving RE and RP and offers insights into their clinical management, encompassing thorough clinical assessment, diagnosis, and root canal treatment. At follow-up examinations, patients were asymptomatic with no radiographic evidence of persistent infection. Therefore, clinicians must be aware and informed about the potential presence of additional roots in mandibular molars during root canal procedures, as understanding and addressing anatomical variations like RE and RP is crucial for achieving favorable outcomes in root canal treatments.
Effect of COVID-19 on sleeping patterns and its correlation to body weight gain, screen time, and mental health: a cross-sectional study among adolescents in Riyadh
Authors: Al-Hijji Banan , Hirsh Enas
Published: June 2024

Objective: This study aimed to assess self-reported sleeping pattern changes among adolescents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, back during COVID-19 and examined these changes in correlation with increased body mass index (BMI) and screen time usage, and changed eating habits.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among Saudi parents of children aged 12-18 years. An online questionnaire assessed physical activity, BMI changes, screen time, sleep patterns, and mental health effects during the lockdown. Participants' mental health status, was assessed by the patient health questionnaire.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 14.98 ± 2.03 years, and 18.2% were obese during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of them, 53.1% observed weight gain during the lockdown. Only 20.5% were involved in physical activities, 42.3% used smart devices for more than 3 hours daily, 83.8% had increased screen time, and 50.6% noticed an increase in sleeping hours. Almost 25% had mild mental health effects, while 41.8%-21.6% had anxiety and depression, respectively. A non-significant relationship was found between differences in sleeping hours during lockdown and BMI, dietary habits, physical activity, screen time, school performance, psychological states, and the prevalence of mental health disorders, anxiety, or depression. Participants with improvement in school performance during lockdown had a significantly higher mean BMI before and during the pandemic, and a higher percentage of those who noticed an increase in the average time screen use during lockdown as compared to before.
Conclusion: Evaluating the pandemic's long-term consequences on adolescents' behaviors and psychological health is needed.
Modelling the impact of manufacturability and import dependence on the efficiency of the processing industry of Ukraine
Authors: Ishchuk Svitlana , Sozanskyy Lyubomyr
Published: June 2024

The article aims to model the processing industry of Ukraine in the direction of increasing its economic efficiency according to the criteria of manufacturability and self-sufficiency (i.e. reducing import dependence). The regularities of the impact of technology and import dependence on the functional efficiency of the economy’s industrial sector are revealed. The authors’ hypothesis that higher economic efficiency in processing is explained by its greater focus on high-tech processes and production with a greater degree of the processing of raw materials, as well as a lower level of dependence on imported components, has been empirically proven. With the help of correlation-regression analysis, dependence between change in structural parameters (the share of high- and medium-high-tech industries in terms of output and the share of imports for intermediate consumption) and efficiency (the share of GVA in output) is substantiated. Deterministic economic-mathematical models (solved by linear programming) for optimising output and GVA in the processing industry and intermediate consumption were built according to the criteria of increasing manufacturability and reducing import dependence, both towards increasing efficiency. Such intermediate consumption (in terms of imported and domestic components of costs) was modelled, under which the indicator of the share of GVA of Ukraine would correspond to the level in Poland. The optimised data obtained form the basis for strategic planning, as they show what the output (by manufacturability) and intermediate consumption should be to ensure the desired level of economic efficiency of the Ukrainian processing industry.

Authors: Toan Trinh Quoc
Published: June 2024

The article points out some new trends in Vietnam's criminal law based on analyzing and evaluating the main new contents of the Criminal Code 2015 (amended and supplemented in 2017). Firstly, the article analyzes some trends in the development of crime regulations in the direction of criminalizing socially dangerous acts that have recently appeared in the process of national development and decriminalizing some criminal acts prescribed in the Criminal Code 1999 are no longer dangerous to society, including the fields of economics, environment, high technology, and human rights. Secondly, the article clarifies the trend of developing humanity in criminal justice based on the provisions of the Criminal Code 2015. The article also pays attention to the study of the issue of internationalization and internalization of criminal regulations in international treaties to which Vietnam is a member country as shown in the Criminal Code 2015. Based on the above results, the article proposes several recommendations to continue to change and improve Vietnam's criminal law in the future.
Error Analysis of EFL Students in Word-Formation Process
Authors: Muhammed Shawqi Aisha Sonay , Sultan Amra Ibrahim
Published: June 2024

This study analyzes errors made by EFL university students in the Word-Formation process, especially in Clipping, Blending, and Compounding. The problem of the study is that many undergraduate students at English departments who study English as a foreign language are uncertain about using the process of word-formation correctly in their post-graduate careers. The study involves (150) English as a Foreign Language undergraduate students (male and female). The results of the study show that the performance of Iraqi EFL learners in the recognition and production tests of the three morphological processes (i.e., Clipping, Blending, and Compounding) is good, with fewer errors according to the mean percentage score of errors for each of the clipping, blending, and compounding processes. Students’ overall performance on the recognition test of the three morphological processes is better than on the production test of the three morphological processes. On average, the performance of EFL students on tests of recognition and production in the three morphological processes is poor. According to the analysis, clipping is found to cause more errors than the blending and compounding processes. These results indicate that the EFL students make errors in the area of the English Word-Formation process (i.e., Clipping, Blending, and Compounding). Finally, it is recommended that more attention should be directed to morphological knowledge in teaching the English language.
Prayer as Creativity in the Religious Discourse of Orthodoxy (Constants and Innovations)
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences Moscow, Russian Federation, Postovalova V.I.
Published: June 2024

On the basis of the theolinguistic description of one of the oldest discourses in the human world – the euchological, or the discourse of a prayer – the issue of the possibility, specifics and limits of the application of the linguocreative approach to the characterization of religious discourse is considered. The paper analyzes the paradoxical situation of the discrepancy in the perception of Orthodox prayer from the outside observation and from the inside of the Orthodox spiritual experience. From the perspective of the Orthodox worldview, prayer (conciliar and personal) provesto be a unique spiritual and semiotic activity, eternally new in its content, while its form remains unchanged. In the religious consciousness of believers, the prayer’s eternal novelty is perceived as a creative beginning of the prayer experience. The article reveals the theological foundations of the creative nature of the prayer as well as the internal recourses of euchological discourse for realizing the “infinite” creative potential in it. The main features of euchological discourse are depicted – mystical (mysterious) nature, grace (the openness to Divine energies), miracle-working (the supernatural ontological action of prayer), apophaticism (the inaccessibility for an exhaustive rational explanation).

The purpose of the research was to study and identify among the collection samples of sunflower from the N. I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) the most promising ones for the de-velopment of new large-seeded source material. The studies were carried out in 2022–2023 on the fields of the Don experimental station – a branch of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops in accordance with the methods of conducting field experiments with oil crops. In the source material nursery, 30 foreign and Russin samples of confectionery sunflower from the VIR collection were studied. Among the 30 studied numbers, only 13 had a weight of 1000 seeds above 100 g, which indicates their large-seeded size. According to the method of A.I. Mamonov on the differentiation of genotypes by the size of achenes using the indicator of the number of seeds in 1 liter, it was confirmed that all 12 samples are large-seeded. According to meanings of oil content and huskness, nine samples belong to edible type, and three – confectionary type.
