DETERMINATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE THYME ESSENTIAL OIL SAMPLES
Authors: Kaya İlkay , Sönmez Gürer Eda
Published: December 2024

In this study, the antimicrobial efficacy of four commercial brands of thyme essential oil, sourced from four different vendors (pharmacy, e-commerce, herbalist, and supplier), was evaluated and compared according to their place of purchase. The research utilized standard strains, including Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853; Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579; and fungi Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Candida tropicalis DSM 11953. Antimicrobial activity was determined using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method. Among the four brands tested at ten different concentrations on four bacterial and two fungal strains, the thyme essential oil sourced from the pharmacy demonstrated the highest level of antimicrobial activity. Based on our experimental results, the essential oils demonstrated the strongest inhibitory activity against Candida albicans, whereas Staphylococcus aureus exhibited the highest resistance to the tested oils.. All tested concentrations of essential oil samples allowed the growth of S. aureus. These findings indicate that essential oils sold in the market and online, intended for therapeutic purposes, vary significantly in quality. Economic incentives may lead to adulteration of these oils, underscoring the importance of using plant material from the correct species and considering the geographical conditions that influence the plant’s chemical composition. The superior antimicrobial efficacy of the pharmacy-sourced thyme essential oil highlights the need to rely on trained health professionals when selecting products for health-related purposes.

What Can Popular Music and Library Music Learn from Each Other?
Authors: KLEIN BETHANY
Published: December 2024

Because library music is made with the specific goal of future media use, its consideration might seem incongruous with broader histories of popular music or irrelevant to challenges facing the popular music industries. Yet both popular music and library music are defined against a shared set of cultural and commercial values, and both have adapted to shifts in media production, circulation, and consumption. In this article, I consider how popular music and library music have engaged with notions of art, responded to digitalisation, and revealed assumptions about the cultural and economic value of music. A side-by-side comparison reveals similarities and differences between popular music and library music that help us better understand changes affecting them both, as well as how we listen to music and how musicians make money from music.

High-flow non-invasive ventilation (NIV) devices reduce the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. The objective was to evaluate the use of the non-invasive ventilation device with high-flow helmet CPAP designed in Peru in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19) hospitalized in the emergency services of five hospitals. Prospective multicenter and cross-sectional observational study from five hospitals from July to August 2020. 19 patients were recruited and divided into two groups (G-1 n = 10; G-2 n = 9) applying clinical and gasometric parameters as indicators of disease evolution upon hospital admission and within 24 hours. A progressive increase in these parameters was observed in those patients who used the NIVCPAP helmet within the first 24 hours. In G-01, improvement was evident in 90% (n = 9/10): PaO2 (range 48–137; average: 82.49 ± 8.07; p-value = 0.008), CO2 (25.2–51.0; 36.62 ± 2.62; p-value p = 0.327), and the PaO2/FiO2 coefficient (87–318; 191.5 ± 18.68). 10% of patients did not progress optimally, being subjected to endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. In G-02 the values ​​were %SatO2 (range 92–98; 96 ± 0.76) and the SaO2/FiO2 coefficient (214–228; 223.2 ± 1.80), indicating significant improvement within 24 hours (p < 0.001). It is concluded that the use of the CPAP helmet non-invasive ventilation (NIV) device contributes to improving gasometric values ​​and clinical condition. Being an alternative to recover typical cases of COVID-19 in all hospitals in Peru.

Published: December 2024

Cancer remains one of the most lethal diseases globally, with CHK1 being a critical pathway frequently altered in cancer progression. This study evaluated the anticancer and cytotoxic properties of the ethanol extract of Matoa (Pometia pinnata) leaves in silico and in vitro. Maceration was conducted to obtain the ethanol extract with physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity predictions conducted using Lipinski’s Rule of Five, pkCSM, and Pro-Tox II. Molecular docking was performed using Autodock Vina and DOCK6.2, followed by molecular dynamic simulations using GROMACS. Cytotoxicity assays on MCF-7 cells were carried out using the MTT methods. The results demonstrated that the extract tested positive for flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, glycosides, and steroids. The extract also shows potential inhibitory activity against CHK1, supported by favorable binding affinities and critical amino acid interactions. Additionally, the extract exhibited a moderate cytotoxic effect on cell MCF-7 with an IC50 of 139 µg/mL.
Species diversity of freshwater glass eel (Anguilliformes, Anguillidae) of Yilan, Taiwan, with remark on two new records
Authors: Lin Yen-Ting , Han Yu-San
Published: December 2024

Yilan, Taiwan is the first place in East Asia where freshwater glass eels, the juvenile stage of Anguilla species, arrive by ocean currents. We collected glass eels by fyke net in Lanyang River estuary twice a month from July 2010 to November 2023. By morphological examination and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, we identified seven species of Anguilla. Most of the glass eels captured in Yilan belonged to the species A. japonica, A. marmorata, and A. bicolor pacifica. Only a few were A. luzonensis, and two A. celebesensis were recorded. In addition, two species were recorded for the time time from Taiwan; A. interioris and A. borneensis were confirmed by cytochrome b sequencing. Thus, we increase the number of Anguilla species in Taiwan from five to seven.

Two new species of dark-body snake eels are described based on specimens collected from Taiwan. Ophichthus kbalanensissp. nov. has a long tail; dorsal-fin origin above posterior third of pectoral fin; tip of lower jaw anterior to anterior-nostril tube; two simple, pointed protrusions along upper lip; preoperculomandibular pores 6 or 7 + 3; teeth on jaws and vomer mostly uniserial, except for biserial on posterior portion of maxilla and anterior portion of symphysis of dentary; vertebral formula 12-55-153 and median fins with narrow dark margins, except the pale fin origins. Ophichthus multidentissp. nov. has a dorsal-fin origin well behind gill opening; mainly 4 rows of teeth on jaws; no protrusions along upper lip; a smaller head; mean vertebral formula 24-64-163 and pale median fins. Based on some recent papers and our result, a revised key to species is herein provided.
A new species of Phyllophichthus Gosline, 1951 (Actinopterygii, Ophichthidae) from Taiwan
Authors: Hibino Yusuke , Endo Shunsuke , Ho Hsuan-Ching
Published: December 2024

A unique species of the flappy-snake eel genus, Phyllophichthus diandrussp. nov., is described based on a single specimen (270 mm in total length) collected from Dong-gang, southwestern Taiwan. The new species possesses several characters that are distinct from the only other species in the genus, Phyllophichthus xenodontus. Phyllophichthus diandrussp. nov. can be easily distinguished from P. xenodontus by having two papillae inside of nasal tube (vs three in P. xenodontus), 25 branchiostegal rays (vs 29), the dorsal-fin origin positioned behind the tip of the pectoral fin (vs not behind, usually above mid-pectoral fin), and the absence of the maxillary teeth (vs present). The relationship between Phyllophichthus and Leiuranus is discussed based on generic and morphological features.
Description of a new uniformly brown estuarine moray eel (Anguilliformes, Muraenidae) from the Central Indo-Pacific Ocean
Authors: Huang Wen-Chien , Hibino Yusuke , Balisco Rodulf Anthony , Liao Te-Yu
Published: December 2024

A new estuarine moray eel, Uropterygius hadessp. nov., is described based on 14 specimens from Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, southern Indonesia, and Fiji. It is a small-bodied, slender, uniformly dark-brown moray separated from congeners within the U. concolor species complex. The new species can be distinguished from congeners by the anteriorly positioned small eyes (5.0–7.2% of head length), absence of branchial pores, and extended inner rows of teeth which reach the posterior end of the jaws. Uropterygius hadessp. nov. represents a rare species of moray eel that inhabits turbid estuarine environments, preferring soft, muddy substrates, and burrowing and hiding among rocks or in fallen mangrove leaves. Additionally, Uropterygius mactanensis Huang, Balisco, Evacitas & Liao, another species recently separated from the U. concolor species complex, is reported for the first time from Iriomote Island in the Ryukyu Archipelago based on two specimens; this new record expands the geographic range of U. mactanensis from the central Philippines to southern Japan.

Dongsha Island, situated in the northern part of the South China Sea, is surrounded by coral reefs and deep-sea habitats. The coastal areas of the atoll, a marine protected area, serve as important nursery habitats for many reef fish species. At the same time, the offshore deep-sea continental slopes are historically important fishing grounds. Although previous inventories primarily focused on coral reef fishes within the atoll listing 652 species from 73 families, comprehensive surveys of fishes from deeper waters have been incomplete. In this study, the species composition of the fish fauna around Dongsha was updated by analyzing large volumes of frozen bycatch from commercial deep-sea trawlers operating in the area for the past four years and reviewing the existing literature. The species list increased to 1087 species belonging to 167 families, including several documented as new records and potentially undescribed species. This updated checklist also includes images of each species and most of their sagittal otoliths. This will assist further taxonomic work and significantly enhance understanding of marine biodiversity in the South China Sea.

Adult education and whose common good?
Authors: Clancy Sharon , Ross Cilla
Published: December 2024

In this article the authors explore the notion of ‘common good’ in relation to adult education. They do this by drawing upon the experiences of working-class family members who were both social learners and autodidacts, and who engaged in learning for their own sake and
for what they believed to be the common good. The authors use diaries, letters and interviews to reflect on how these learners used the lens of class to do this and ask whether in a less binary world, which appears fragmented, individualistic and focused on identity, an adult education for
the common good is either relevant or possible.
Engaging citizens: the Kent miners and workers’ education for the common good
Authors: West Linden
Published: December 2024

This article embodies a kind of backward travelling by revisiting the history of workers’ education in a mining community as part of our contemporary struggle to reinvigorate notions of the common good and popular education. Its focus is the complexities of working-class history,
disparaged in neoliberal condescension and oversimplified in some progressive thought: a history of contention and struggle, yet rich in experiment in dialogical, democratic and cooperative learning.
Foundations for folk at Fircroft: reality-driven competencies
Authors: Bate Angela
Published: December 2024

The Labour Party’s manifesto aims to reform further and higher education by integrating business, training providers and unions within a governmental effort to ensure a highly trained workforce. Skills England will align training with labour market needs, empower local leaders
and enhance support for job seekers. However, the focus on young people overlooks adult learners who are not yet ready for the labour market. At Fircroft College, an adult residential college in Birmingham, we address the needs of adult learners facing barriers such as trauma, homelessness
and unemployment. Our transformative learning model helps adult learners gain the skills and confidence needed to progress educationally, and to contribute to society and the economy. This paper describes Fircroft College’s approach. Notwithstanding funding limitations, and a national
policy which privileges labour market skills, it is based on developing reality-driven competencies through short-term, non-accredited learning focused on well-being, personal growth and coping skills. Fircroft emphasises practical skills rooted in real-world contexts, and makes the most of
the vital role which can be played in adult education by residential learning.
At Fircroft, we sing: introducing communal singing as a new traditional practice at Fircroft College of Adult Education
Authors: Mabbs Zoe , Henderson Holly
Published: December 2024

This short article gives an account of introducing the tradition of communal singing to Fircroft College of Adult Education in Birmingham, UK. Fircroft is an adult residential college and has its roots in the Danish folk high school movement. Communal singing is a strong tradition of
this movement, but the practice has not been used in Fircroft for many years. During the academic year 2023‐24, we incorporated this practice as a new tradition in the college. Here, we explain the reasons for introducing the tradition and reflect on our experiences, including identifying
the challenges of developing truly inclusive collective practices.

“They Assume I'm Not Intelligent Just Because I Have an Accent”: Supporting Retention of Nursing Students Who Speak English as an Additional Language
Authors: De Quezada Cristina Dominguez , Monsivais Diane B.
Published: December 2024

Background

Many nursing students who speak English as an additional language unfortunately face challenges that can hinder their academic success.

Method

A literature review was carried out to investigate challenges faced by nursing students who speak English as an additional language and strategies to promote academic success.

Results

A significant challenge is an implicit bias toward students who speak accented English, resulting in stigmatization from faculty and peers. Students frequently relayed that because of their accented English, they were perceived as being less intelligent, resulting in ongoing stress and often a lack of confidence. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework promotes success for students who speak English as an additional language.

Conclusion

The UDL framework is used to display strategies from nursing literature that promote success for students who speak English as an additional language.

Published: December 2024

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin condition, primarily characterized by intense pruritus and chronic inflammation. Current therapeutic options targeting the histamine H4 receptor (H4R) have shown limited efficacy in addressing both pruritus and inflammation comprehensively. This study investigates pyridopyrazine derivatives as potential H4R antagonists with a focus on their suitability for AD treatment. To evaluate these compounds, we applied quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models and molecular docking techniques. A set of 33 pyridopyrazine derivatives was analyzed using principal component regression (PCR), multiple linear regression (MLR), and partial least squares (PLS) methodologies. Molecular descriptors were computed, and collinearity among descriptors was assessed through principal component analysis (PCA). Model performance was evaluated using the root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) values, providing insight into predictive accuracy. The PCR model emerged with strong predictive capabilities, showing an RMSE of 1.017 and an R2 of 0.897. Furthermore, molecular docking results indicated potent binding interactions with H4R, primarily through hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Notably, compound C11 demonstrated the highest binding affinity, underscoring its potential as a valuable candidate for anti-inflammatory development. In conclusion, pyridopyrazine derivatives, particularly compound C11, exhibit promising anti-inflammatory properties with specific binding efficacy to H4R, suggesting potential for advancing AD treatment options.

L’histoire des planches de l’Encyclopédie et la correspondance de Diderot
Authors: Cammagre Geneviève
Published: December 2024

La correspondance de Diderot peut-elle contribuer à une histoire des planches de l’Encyclopédie ? On se propose d’examiner d’abord des documents purement informatifs – reçus ou attestations – puis des textes vraiment épistolaires qui offrent des allusions ou des développements plus importants sur le travail de Diderot comme directeur de la manufacture des planches. Il s’avère que, d’une part, la confrontation de la correspondance avec d’autres sources fournit des enseignements précieux et est propice à de plus amples investigations, et que, de l’autre, la plongée dans la subjectivité de l’encyclopédiste nous permet de saisir l’ampleur de sa tâche et les difficultés qu’il a dû surmonter.
Le travail éditorial de Diderot dans les cent premiers articles de l’Encyclopédie
Authors: Stenger Gerhardt
Published: December 2024

Cette étude essaie d’abord de mieux comprendre le travail éditorial de Diderot quant à l’établissement de la nomenclature des premiers volumes de l’Encyclopédie, puis s’intéresse à la question de l’attribution de certains articles, anonymes ou pas. Premier constat : sur les cent premiers articles, une infime minorité est constituée de contributions originales. Deuxième constat : les sources utilisées dans l’ensemble des cent articles se comptent sur les doigts des deux mains, avec une nette prépondérance du Dictionnaire de Trévoux. Troisième constat : près de la moitié des cents articles revient à Diderot. Nous avons réussi à attribuer plusieurs entrées avec plus ou moins de certitude, et même à tirer deux encyclopédistes de l’oubli. La conclusion est sans appel : une signature apposée en fin d’article (y compris l’astérisque) n’est pas une preuve formelle et irrévocable de paternité. Gardons-nous d’attribuer les yeux fermés un article ou sous-article à tel auteur nommé ; parfois, il faut douter et décider au cas par cas. L’identification des sources utilisées en est un bon moyen.

La construction des personnages chez Diderot
Authors: Goffart Alexia
Published: December 2024

Cet article s’intéresse aux personnages dans les œuvres de Diderot, de leur construction en tant qu’individus à leur rôle au sein de l’intrigue, pour montrer comment cet instrument est mis au service d’une pensée philosophique, scientifique ou esthétique. Les personnages agissent comme des médiateurs, des passerelles entre l’auteur et son lecteur, dès lors les portraits brossés par Diderot jouent un rôle essentiel dans leur réception et influencent directement la perception du lecteur, d’autant que beaucoup d’entre eux prennent pour modèles des personnes réelles, plus ou moins proches de Diderot et de son époque. Selon les besoins narratifs, les personnages peuvent être tour à tour des porte-paroles du philosophe ou de simples outils démonstratifs, ils servent alors à prouver une théorie et participent aux expériences en tant qu’acteur ou en tant qu’objet. Engagés dans des dialogues qui imitent l’interaction entre auteur et lecteur, ils prennent tantôt la position de celui qui transmet le savoir, tantôt celle de celui qui le reçoit, incarnant ainsi un double de Diderot lui-même ou de son public. Le personnage du philosophe est finalement la pierre angulaire des textes diderotiens, charriant en lui les fondements mêmes de sa réflexion.
Les cliniques juridiques aux États-Unis : un modèle reproductible ?
Authors: Slama Serge
Published: December 2024

L’article traite des principales caractéristiques du système d’enseignement clinique du droit existant aux États-Unis depuis plus d’un siècle et de ses évolutions récentes dans la perspective de son implantation en France. Apparues en réaction aux méthodes d’enseignement académique traditionnelles puis progressivement intégrées dans le cursus juridique, les cliniques juridiques sont devenues essentielles dans l’enseignement du droit aux États-Unis en bénéficiant d’importants financements aussi bien publics que privés. Si elles constituent de plus en plus un instrument de prestige au sein des facultés de droit dans un système très concurrentiel, elles sont toujours influencées dans leur fonctionnement quotidien par le modèle de la justice sociale.

Les points de tangence de Sylvie Germain
Authors: Garfitt Toby
Published: December 2024

Sylvie Germain affectionne le terme « point de tangence », qui évoque l’intuition d’un autre monde, transcendant, celui de l’invisible et souvent de l’éternité, souvent aussi associé à la mort et aux morts. Elle insiste souvent sur les images d’écoulement et de fulguration, pour célébrer la possibilité d’un contact entre l’ordre humain et un ordre transcendant, avec tout ce que cela implique en fait d’un regard second, capable de percevoir ce qui échappe à nos sens physiques. Les points de tangence de Sylvie Germain peuvent ainsi être interprétés au niveau des affinités intertextuelles : tangence avec le monde textuel de Simone Weil ou de Vladimir Jankélévitch, ce qui permet de voir les points de tangence sous forme de méditation christique ou de phénoménologie de la pensée.
Representación histórica, televisualidad y formación ciudadana: contrastes de los biopics televisivos Sudamerican Rockers (2014) y Los Prisioneros (2020)
Authors: Ábalos Consuelo
Published: December 2024

La historia reciente sirve de fuente inagotable para las producciones ficcionales y los biopics televisivos (Bignell, 2019), que establecen cómo se representa la “historia” de figuras que conforman parte de un imaginario cultural determinado. Si bien las estrategias narrativas de las series biográficas se articulan en torno a historias personales y representan hechos reales, existe una construcción vinculada a la televisualidad (Caldwell, 1995) que problematiza cómo se construye la veracidad y similitud del contexto histórico en los cuales están insertos los elementos biográficos. Este trabajo busca examinar las operaciones de resignificación histórica en relación con las condiciones de producción bajo la cual opera la mediación de los biopics televisivos y su potencial diferencia en términos de formación ciudadana. Esta propuesta contrasta las estrategias narrativas de dos series sobre una misma banda musical, el grupo chileno Los Prisioneros. Mediante un análisis narratológico (Aumont y Marie, 2009) de las series Sudamerican Rockers (2014) y Los Prisioneros (2020) se identifican las diferencias en la manera en la que se construye el relato de un mismo grupo musical y el impacto que las condiciones de producción tienen en los énfasis que se relevan de una misma “historia” y su contexto histórico.
Ovidian intertextuality and metamorphosis in Prudentius
Authors: Hardie Philip
Published: December 2024

Richard Bentley famously called Prudentius ‘Christianorum Maro et Flaccus’. Recent work has explored the extent and detail of Prudentius’ Virgilian intertextuality, most notably in the allegorical epic the Psychomachia, but also in many others of his works. Horatian lyric is laid under contribution not just in the lyric metres of the hymns in the Cathemerinon. The personal Praefatio and Epilogus allude mostly to Horace, and hardly at all to Virgil (not surprising, given Horace’s use of first-person genres in autobiographical mode). In this paper I focus on allusion to a poet arguably almost as important for Prudentius as Virgil and Horace, Ovid. In particular, I look at Prudentius’ allusion to the themes and language of Ovidian metamorphosis.
Defining Human Rights in Times of Covid: Human Rights Discourse in the UK and Devolved Legislatures
Authors: Cousson Anne
Published: December 2024

The British government’s reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic has meant wide-ranging restrictions imposed on people living in the UK with minimal parliamentary oversight. Thus, human rights and civil liberties were affected, as far as both individual freedoms and constitutional guarantees are concerned. However, given the urgency created by the health crisis and the controversial nature of human rights speech in the UK, using it to criticize the government’s measures was bound to be a politically charged choice. Through an analysis of parliamentary discourse in the main Covid-related debates both in the British Parliament and in the devolved legislatures, this article argues that human rights were not used as an expression of common values in a time of national crisis, but as a divisive rhetorical tool. Focusing thus on political discourse rather than on the effective effects of Covid restrictions on human rights allows us to identify ideological fault lines. Indeed, the analysis shows a highly differentiated definition of human rights between political parties on the one hand and between the different nations on the other.
“An Emergency Within the Emergency”: The Effect of Government Policies on the Mental Health and Wellbeing of the Population of England During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Barrett Susan
Published: December 2024

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the lockdown and containment measures that were put in place by the UK government severely disrupted NHS mental health services. Surveys carried out during this period showed a decline in people’s wellbeing leading to fears that the country would soon face an unprecedented mental health crisis. This paper shows that not everyone was affected in the same way and that those whose mental health deteriorated the most were those who had already been most at risk prior to the pandemic. It concludes that rather than creating a new crisis, the pandemic merely exacerbated existing problems.
COVID-19 and Scottish Independence: The Instrumentalisation of the Pandemic in the Constitutional Debate
Authors: Gérard Nelly
Published: December 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic unfolded in the UK in a specific context where, in the aftermath of the Brexit referendum, much of the political scene had been dominated by constitutional politics. Feeding into this debate about Scotland’s status within the UK, the Covid-19 crisis and its management became yet another argument for political parties to legitimize their constitutional policies. Drawing on the Discourse-Historical Approach and using party manifestos, this article investigates how the Covid-19 pandemic is constructed in the discourses of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party, and how it fits into the debate on Scotland’s constitutional future. The article concludes that the Covid-19 pandemic is instrumentalised in the larger constitutional debate, either to promote independence and constitutional reform in the case of the SNP, or to undermine nationalist rhetoric through the use of depoliticisation strategies in the case of the Scottish Conservative Party.

Background: Hearing aid verification is required to objectively measure hearing aid outputs by ensuring that the amplified speech spectrum closely approximates the prescription goals.Objectives: This study aimed to determine audiologists’ perceptions and practices regarding hearing aid verification and identify facilitators and barriers to its use.Method: A cross-sectional national e-survey included questions related to demographics, perceptions of verification, verification practices and two open-ended questions regarding the facilitators and barriers to conducting hearing aid verification in South Africa.Results: Seventy-eight South African audiologists, with experience ranging from less than a year to 34 years, completed the online survey. Of these, 76.3% conduct hearing aid verification, while 23.7% seldom or never perform this verification. Among the audiologists who conducted verification, 81.0% reported performing it on both adults and children. More than three-quarters (86.6%) indicated that they conduct verification only during the initial fitting, while half (53.8%) do so only when a problem arises. Thematic analysis revealed the following barriers to verification: improper equipment, a lack of equipment, non-standard clinical practices and time constraints.Conclusion: There are several challenges faced by South African audiologists in performing verification. It may be feasible to address these barriers by raising awareness about the value of verification, offering training, and advocating for the purchase and utilisation of verification equipment.Contribution: This study’s findings provide information on the current practices of hearing aid verification in a socioeconomically diverse setting. Furthermore, it highlights important challenges such as a lack of equipment as well as time constraints.
Новые примеры и частичная классификация 15-вершинных триангуляций кватернионной проективной плоскости
Authors: Gaifullin Alexander Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2024

У. Брем и В. Кюнель (1992) построили три 15-вершинных восьмимерных комбинаторных многообразия, "похожих на кватернионную проективную плоскость", с группами симметрий $\mathrm A_5$, $\mathrm A_4$ и $\mathrm S_3$ соответственно. Д.А. Городков (2016) доказал, что эти три многообразия на самом деле кусочно линейно гомеоморфны $\mathbb H\mathrm P^2$. Заметим, что $15$ - это минимальное число вершин восьмимерного комбинаторного многообразия, которое не является кусочно линейно гомеоморфным $S^8$. В настоящей работе построено много новых 15-вершинных триангуляций кватернионной проективной плоскости $\mathbb H\mathrm P^2$. Удивительный факт заключается в том, что удается найти примеры таких триангуляций с очень разными группами симметрий, в том числе никак не связанными с группой $\mathrm A_5$. А именно, найдено 19 триангуляций с группой симметрий $\mathrm C_7$, одна триангуляция с группой симметрий $\mathrm C_6\times \mathrm C_2$, 14 триангуляций с группой симметрий $\mathrm C_6$, 26 триангуляций с группой симметрий $\mathrm C_5$, одна новая триангуляция с группой симметрий $\mathrm A_4$ и 11 новых триангуляций с группой симметрий $\mathrm S_3$. Более того, получен следующий классификационный результат. Доказано, что с точностью до изоморфизма имеется ровно 75 триангуляций $\mathbb H\mathrm P^2$ с 15 вершинами и группой симметрий порядка не менее $4$: три триангуляции Брема-Кюнеля и 72 новые триангуляции, перечисленные выше. С другой стороны, показано, что имеется много триангуляций с группами симметрий $\mathrm C_3$ и $\mathrm C_2$, а также с тривиальной группой симметрий.
$\mathbb Z_2$-гомологии пространств орбит $G_{n,2}/T^n$
Authors: Ivanovic Vladimir , Terzic Svjetlana
Published: December 2024

Изучаются группы $\mathbb Z_2$-гомологий пространства орбит $X_n = G_{n,2}/T^n$ для канонического действия компактного тора $T^n$ на комплексном многообразии Грассмана $G_{n,2}$. В качестве исходной берется модель $(U_n,p_n)$ пространства $X_n$, построенная В.М. Бухштабером и С. Терзич (2022), где $U_n = \Delta _{n,2}\times \mathcal F_n$ - произведение гиперсимплекса $\Delta _{n,2}$ и универсального пространства параметров $\mathcal F_n$, определенного в работах Бухштабера и Терзич (2019, 2022). Ими также было доказано (2023), что пространство $\mathcal F_n$ диффеоморфно пространству модулей $\mathcal {M}_{0,n}$ стабильных кривых рода $0$ с $n$ отмеченными точками. В настоящей работе с помощью результатов Ш. Кила (1992) и О. Джейхана (2009) о группах гомологий пространства $\mathcal {M}_{0,n}$ эти группы выражены в терминах стратификации пространства $\mathcal {F}_{n}$, являющейся составной частью модели $(U_n,p_n)$. В результате получено индуктивное по $n$ описание циклов в пространстве $X_n$. Также найдены явные формулы для групп $\mathbb Z_2$-гомологий пространств $X_5$ и $X_6$. Результаты для $X_5$ повторяют результаты работ Бухштабера и Терзич (2023) и Х. Зюсса (2020), но получены отличными методами. Результаты для $X_6$, по-видимому, являются новыми.
Práticas (orto)gráficas seiscentistas na História do Futuro de Padre António Vieira
Authors: Banza Ana Paula , Freire Cameron Helena
Published: December 2024

17th century (ortho)graphic practices in História do Futuro by Father António Vieira:
This text analyses Father António Vieira’s spelling practices in História do Futuro based on a new conservative manuscript reading. Written, for the most part, between 1664 and 1665, the fragments of the História do Futuro that have come down to us, attached to Vieira’s inquisitorial process, are working texts, unpolished versions, which, therefore, may eventually reveal some marks of the “classic” period of Portuguese. On the other hand, taking into account that Vieira’s training in spelling falls within the “etymological” period and that his reputation places him among the “good authors”, also in terms of spelling, we seek to identify the conservative and innovative marks and, eventually, the manifestation of an individual practice, which, as is known, was, in Vieira’s time and until the beginning of the 20th century, a notorious trend, particularly among great writers.
O material linguístico português no Thesaurus Polyglottus de Hieronymus Megiser (1603)
Authors: Dębowiak Przemysław
Published: December 2024

Portuguese linguistic material in Thesaurus Polyglottus by Hieronymus Megiser (1603): Thesaurus Polyglottus is a lexicographical work published in 1603 in Frankfurt am Main by a German linguist and historian, Hieronymus Megiser. It is a multilingual dictionary that contains more than 8 thousand articles displayed on almost 1600 pages. The Latin entries are followed by equivalents in various languages, mainly European. In each article the author presents as many equivalents as he was able to collect. Portuguese linguistic material is only represented in around 170 articles, which, however, does not make it any less interesting. The article exposes, at various levels (graphic-phonetic, morphological and semantic), the traits of the Portuguese words included in this work which are mostly botanical and zoological terms. Taking these factors into account, we also try to identify the possible sources of the Portuguese vocabulary, among which works of Conrad Gessner and Amato Lusitano from the 16th century stand out.
Da língua indígena à língua geral – algumas reflexões sobre a formação da Língua Geral Paulista
Authors: Hlibowicka-Węglarz Barbara
Published: December 2024

From indigenous language to general language – some reflections on the formation of the General Language of São Paulo:
In Portuguese America, the general languages were the languages of indigenous origin used by the administration and the Church as an instrument of interethnic communication. These languages were spoken by everyone who was part of the colonial system. In the Brazilian territory, two general languageswere formed in very different linguistic contexts: the Língua Geral Paulista (LGP) and the Língua Geral Amazónica (LGA). Established in the 16th century, LGP emerged in the São Vicente region and was widely spread by the bandeirantes of São Paulo to other states in the 17th and 18th centuries. After a period of great expansion, and because of the political and social changes that took place in colonial society, this general language lost its hegemony in the 19th century and ceased to be spoken at the beginning of the 20th century. The article aims to analyse the socio-historical conditions that led to the formation, expansion, weakening and disappearance of the General Language of São Paulo.
Archiwum Pomocy na Uniwersytecie im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu
Authors: Heruday-Kiełczewska Magdalena
Published: December 2024

In March 2022, after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, an Aid Archive was established at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, as a means of documenting the university’s activities in support of embattled Ukraine. After February 24, many relief efforts, both for Ukrainians who came to Poland and those who stayed in the country, left traces on the Internet. Knowing how social media works and how difficult it is to find a post or website after a while, Dr. Magdalena Heruday-Kielczewska, a member of the Archival Studies Department at the History Faculty, created an archive that would preserve evidence of the activities of University employees, doctoral students and students. The archive, which is exclusively electronic, preserves screenshots of websites and Facebook pages, emails from employees, official communications from the rector, and reports on activities undertaken by certain units of the University (faculties and libraries). This effort resulted in creation of new sources that can be easily shared, testifying to the emotions and to the involvement of the University community in response to current dramatic events. The purpose of this article is to present the activities of the Archive, its structure and problems that arose during its organization.
Multiliteracies: Teaching with short stories
Authors: Fretschel-Hojarski Andrzej
Published: December 2024

Despite the recognizable advantages of exploiting literary works in the ESL classroom, language educators are challenged with not only addressing the cognitive and linguistic aspects of reading, but also emphasizing the sociocultural dimension of textual discourse. The Multiliteracies Framework for Language Teaching responds to this call by exploring reading as a socially situated practice during which learners interact with, analyze, and interpret texts, thereby promoting cross-cultural awareness and creative meaning construction. Towards that end, short stories offer a promising middle ground as textual resources due to their genre-speciﬁcity and rich thematic diversity. The following article provides a brief introduction to the MFLT and reading as meaning design (Part I) as well as two sample lesson plans based on Roald Dahl’s classic short story, The Umbrella Man (Part II).
Vida digital y tendencias delictivas en el sur global: sobre el impacto del mayor uso de Internet en las oportunidades para la delincuencia
Authors: Figueiredo Alves Silva Braulio , Miro-Llinares Fernando
Published: December 2024

Este estudio aborda una laguna en la literatura sobre las tendencias delictivas al explorar cómo el aumento del uso de Internet y el proceso de digitalización reforman fundamentalmente las oportunidades para la delincuencia. Analizamos la relación entre la agencia humana y la estructura social, demostrando cómo el ”mundo virtual”, al alterar los hábitos sociales, crea un terreno fértilpara el ciberdelito. Se empleó el Modelo Lineal Multinivel (MLM) para estimar la participación en los delitos de daños a la propiedad (PDC) en función de las tipologías individuales. Además, extendemos nuestro análisis para tener en cuenta los patrones estacionales y prever tendencias mediante el método Holt-Winters (HW), considerando los efectos de la pandemia de Covid-19. Los hallazgos muestran que la adopción de tecnologías digitales ha transformado las interacciones sociales yel comportamiento delictivo, reduciendo la participación en delitos en las calles y aumentando la exposición a delitos en el ciberespacio, especialmente entre los adolescentes. Los resultados también revelaron que la variabilidad en la trayectoria de participación delictiva se explica tantopor la tipología individual como por el acceso a Internet. Además, los ciberdelitos aumentaron significativamente después de marzo de 2020 en comparación con los delitos violentos. Estos nuevos patrones y tendencias subrayan la necesidad de contar con agencias especializadas enla aplicación de la ley para abordar los ciberdelitos y las amenazas en línea, así como promover estrategias de prevención y educación.

In summary, the ICPJE was born from an initial small group that met previously in Granada to advance the visibility and quality of research in clinical, social and administrative pharmacy practice. Even prior to its formal naming, the group had made progress recently, although it recognises the need to consolidate its work. The group is dedicated toward strengthening clinical, social and administrative pharmacy practice, not only as a discipline, but the entire profession, including the patients served by its clinicians and researchers. The ICPJE was founded by a select group of journals; but ultimately it is a group that is open to any other journal in the field. Each journal is represented by a vibrant group of individuals, including the editors and publishing companies. The ICPJE will be reaching out to various stakeholders seeking collaboration and insights from fellow scholars and practitioners throughout the world.
