PRESENTATION OF NATURAL SCIENCE ACTIVITIES "WINDOW TO NATURE"
Authors: Masiulienė Jūratė , Steponaitienė Jurgita
Published: January 2022

At all times, the primary teacher has faced various challenges and goals. Each generation brings new expectations and challenges. And this generation, like no other, seeks to know the world around us with all the senses. The contemporary teacher develops students' ability to think critically and creatively, solves theoretical and practical problems, sees a close relationship between nature and man and the world around, takes personal responsibility for the preservation of the environment, protects the health of theirs and others. Therefore, we are increasingly talking about the importance of getting out of class, crossing school boundaries, seeing what surrounds us, discovering opportunities to learn from nature in nature, finding innovative solutions to make learning a truly exciting, attractive activity for every modern child. It is important for the digital world indigenous to learn to be in nature, to watch animals, plants, natural phenomena, to know values, to learn to behave responsibly with nature, to see how much and interesting activities in it can be discovered, and how much there is to know, experience, feel, experiment, study and analyse.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with a few of our activities that have evolved and matured from the great desire to "interest and surprise students with science education every day". Many of kindergartens and schools in Vilnius are interested in our activities. We are pleased to show you what has been achieved in pre-school and primary school students, prospective teachers. About our school-class butterflies and snails, the wonders of the planetarium, created by the visitors themselves, were filmed and told by the Positive Diary and TV show "Our Animals."

EFFECTIVENESS OF INTEGRATED THEMATIC EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY ABOUT BEES AND BEEKEEPING
Authors: Raudoniūtė Aušrinė
Published: January 2022

For the last two years the author of this study was giving educations for adolescents and adults about bees and beekeeping in Lithuania. It was noticed that despite the lack of general knowledge about bees, people are keen on improving their comprehension about social insects. However, starting from general educational programs for preschools and primary schools there was barely information about social insects. That was a reason for further analysis of how effective children can learn from integrated educational activities organised at school. The object of the study was preschool and primary school students from one school in Vilnius, Lithuania. The aim of this study was to analyse the feedback and questionnaires that were filled with preschool and primary school students before and after the education. Then to measure the impact of this education on students' knowledge, skills and attitudes. This study could help teachers to find more ideas for social insects topic in primary school. Moreover, it was revealed what are the most common misconceptions about bees and beekeeping so it could be used to avoid possible mistakes in pupil learning.
All in all, according to student reviews after education about bees and beekeeping, honey bees became more appreciable insect that was not before. And this is a little step for growing love for nature in the little human‘s heart.
Keywords: educational activity, bees, honeybees, beekeeping, effectiveness, social insects, beekeeping and honey bees misconceptions.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTEGRATED EDUCATION IN THE STEAM SCIENCE PROJECT
Authors: Saviciene Danguole
Published: January 2022

The STEAM science competition “Our Experiment” (organized by the Lithuanian Center of Non-formal Youth Education) is one of the opportunities to diversify the educational process and encourage students to take a deeper interest in natural sciences. We are convinced that the STEAM science-based competition encourages students to work in teams and collaborate on research. Teamwork skills are especially needed in today’s world of science and work, as one person’s mind or skills are no longer enough here. Already at school, it is important to point out that knowledge of one subject is often not enough to identify and solve problems, different sciences complement each other, and their integration often creates opportunities for innovation. Working with the STEAM method inevitably integrates subjects in the educational process. The STEAM science competition led to the search for an integrative topic. It became the subject of "Papyrus Production".
Subject - Knowledge of the world. Integrated programs: Lithuanian language, mathematics, art and technologies, information technologies, human safety. I wanted students to be able to apply cognitive skills in integrating subjects: critical thinking, practical skills, analysis and conclusions, information processing, application and deepening of knowledge, presentation. Nature of work - integrated lessons. The lessons took place in the gymnasium science laboratory.
Educational film based on practical activities:
Home Papyrus Production https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJClRehaATc
The STEAM science competition used the tools of the gymnasium's natural sciences laboratory (during the implementation of the EU-funded project “Supply of Schools with Natural and Technological Sciences” most Lithuanian schools were equipped with natural sciences - tubes, flasks, microscopes, sensors, optical kits).
The STEAM science competition led to the search for an integrative topic. "Papyrus production" is a topic of world cognition. Subjects were integrated: Lithuanian (analysis of the study material, expressive language for making a film), mathematics (weighing of bulk materials, time calculation, water temperature measurement), art and technologies (sheet cutting, gluing, drawing, drawing sketches), information technologies (filming of scenes, timer setting, searching websites for information on Egyptian symbols, papyrus production, glue production at home), human safety (safe handling of electrical appliances, boiling water, sharp objects). Throughout the learning period, students remained active as one activity changed to another. Students learned new concepts, worked on the principles of science, presented his competitive work to the school community, at student science conferences.
Keywords: engaging in educational material, educational method STEAM, smartphones.
CINOLOGY IN A GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOL
Authors: Statkevičius Dainius
Published: January 2022

Dogs for 15,000 years have been an integral part of all humanity in our life and culture. In recent times, canitherapy has gained in popularity as a therapeutic approach based on the positive effects of human-dog interaction on the physical, psychological and social aspects of humans. This method is often used in institutions for child care and education (kindergartens, schools, care homes), health care facilities, retirement homes and other special facilities for children and adults with various mental disorders. In order to introduce pupils to the basics of cynology, to promote canitherapy, charity and social activities, various activities are organized at Kaunas Vyturys Gymnasium in order to involve as many pupils as possible. This activity is also being integrated into the long-term project “Sustainable School”. It is also sought and emphasized that a person must go to a kennel if he wants to have a certain breed of dog, but if he wants to have dog (does not matter breed), he must go to a shelter. This way is to combat breeding of undocumented breeding dogs. The gymnasium organizes educational classes with dogs for primary school learners, social campaigns "Support the homeless", integrated project "Use waste and help the homeless", quizzes "Do you know dogs and their breeds". Also it is planned to prepare an elective subject for students of grades 11-12 “Basics of Cynology”.

INTEGRATION OF STEAM EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE FAIRY TALES CREATION PROCESS
Authors: Žvinklienė Zinaida
Published: January 2022

At the preschool age, it is crucial for the development of children's linguistic abilities to select and purposefully apply various methods and techniques is crucial. One of the effective ways of speaking and developing a language is fairy tales.
STEAM activities are increasingly used in the educational process. The idea was to combine these activities with the creation of fairy tales. We believe that integration of STEAM activities in the fairy tales creation process helps to develop children's linguistic skills, emotion perception and expression, strengthens critical and creative thinking and enables to gain problem-solving skills. Through research and experiments children learn more about their immediate environment. Children unfold their experiences and impressions in their own works.
The idea of integrating STEAM educational activities in the fairy tale creation process has been implemented. The children experienced many positive emotional reactions, such as: interest, surprise, curiosity, achievement joy, sense of togetherness and closeness. This encouraged the children to become more interested, to ask questions, to tell about their impressions, to reveal them in their works. Children's critical and creative thinking and ability to solve problems increased. While taking tests, the children learned how to apply the results guessing methods.

Estimation of Parameters of PTRC SRGM using Non-informative Priors
Authors: Singh Rajesh , Singh Pritee , Kale Kailash
Published: January 2022

Reliability is an essentially important characteristic of software. The reliability of software has been assessed by considering Poisson Type occurrence of software failures and the failure intensity of one parameter say (η_1 ) Rayleigh class. Here, it is assumed that the software contains fixed number of inherent faults say (η_0 ). The scale parameter of Rayleigh density (η_1 ) and fixed number of inherent faults contained in software are the parameters of interest. The failure intensity and mean failure function of this Poisson Type Rayleigh Class (PTRC) Software Reliability Growth Model (SRGM) have been studied. The estimates of above parameters can be obtained by using maximum likelihood method. Bayesian technique has been used to about estimates of η_0 and η_1 if prior knowledge about these parameters is available. The prior knowledge about these parameters is considered in the form of non- informative priors for both the parameters. The proposed Bayes estimators are compared with their corresponding maximum likelihood estimators on the basis of risk efficiencies under squared error loss. The Monte Carlo simulation technique is used for calculating risk efficiencies. It is seen that both the proposed Bayes estimators can be preferred over corresponding MLEs for the proper choice of the values of execution time.

Antimicrobial peptides constitute key factors in insect humoral immune response against invading microorganisms. In this study, biochemical approach was identified antimicrobial peptides which appeared in larval hemolymph of Spodoptera litura after bacterial challenge. HPLC profile showed two major peaks in two samples, Brassica oleracea and Ricinus communis fed S. litura that were collected at 5 min interval. It was shown to be active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The highest zone of inhibition was observed in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in B. oleracea fed S. litura hemolymph fraction II and R. communis fed S. litura hemolymph fraction I and it also contributes the increased antioxidant, lysozyme, and less hemolytic activity were increase in treated groups. TLC activity was tested with hemolymph extract samples, pink color pots was identified the protein present in the samples. An SDS-PAGE result shows that high expression of antimicrobial peptide present in the treated sample. The appearance of peptides with such different properties in insect hemolymph in response to immune challenge indicates the complexity of the insect immune system.

Sugeriu-se uma sequência de exercícios físicos em forma de cartilha informativa que podem ser aplicados por fisioterapeutas e/ou educadores físicos para suas pacientes ou clientes, a fim de prevenir, minimizar ou tratar a Incontinência Urinária de Esforço visando melhorar a qualidade de vida e promover a saúde das mulheres idosas.
Possibilidades e aplicabilidades da (verdadeira?) avaliação formativa no ensino superior brasileiro: um olhar para a graduação em educação física
Authors: Oliveira Aurélio Luiz de
Published: January 2022

Este estudo tem como objetivo levantar perspectivas sobre o processo de avaliação na prática da formação universitária brasileira, ressaltando a identidade conservadora que a avaliação, enquanto processo, apresenta até os dias de hoje. Ao percorrermos o campo da sociologia da educação, podemos observar que existem, fundamentalmente, duas formas de abordagem que permeia toda a problemática da avaliação educacional: a sociologia implícita e a sociologia explícita da avaliação. O que se pode constatar é que está ocorrendo um processo de inversão, uma vez que se está colocando quem pode mais em universidades gratuitas e quem pode menos (ou nada pode) nas universidades pagas. O descaso para com o sistema de avaliação pode ser atribuído e apensado à conotação prática que é defendida por muitos docentes para os cursos de graduação, podendo ser eles em nível de licenciatura e/ou bacharelado. Portanto, não são apenas as práticas avaliativas formais e informais e as suas consequências que podem interessar a uma sociologia da avaliação em Educação Física, mas também os moldes que envolvem, ou não, os professores.
Community Resilience and Adaptive Capacity: An Integrative Perspective
Authors: Chukwuemeka Ogugua AGBO
Published: January 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the adaptive capacity for community resilience. Adaptive capacity supports the residents of a local community to survive and recover during and after a disaster. The holistic view of community resilience is seen as personal attributes possessed by community residents which enables them to survive during and after a disaster. Reviewed articles and other secondary sources that discussed on the topic of community resilience and adaptive capacity were used for this study through content analysis and empirical evidence. The discussion of the theories in this paper shed more light towards understanding the four-way adaptive capacity. Community resilience increases the chance of community adaptation during and after a disaster. This study will encourage private businesses and professional individuals to become part of a community by providing them with resources needed to survive in the face or after a disaster. It will also contribute to related research in the future which focuses on adaptive capacity for community resilience.

Hadith is the second source in Islamic Law. As from the Start MUHAMMAD (SAW) forbid the companion to write Hadith but after some time the Holy Prophet gives permission. From the Start of giving protection to Hadith or Quran basically, we are seeing two types of methods one is to memories and the second one is in written form. After Companion, their followers have spread to different locations. In these locations, Kufa played a Vitol role . Followers of this area were taking a keen interest in this subject. For this purpose they make all the necessary arrangements for example build Madrassa and wrote the Hadith according to the rules of narrating (riwaya) and deep comprehension (diraya) of Prophetic statements. In this Research article, we will describe shortly the editing services of the followers of center Kufa. How they have followed the rules and what are their efforts in this subject.
Habitat selection and foraging site fidelity in Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) breeding in the Baltic Sea
Authors: Beal Martin , Byholm Patrik , Lötberg Ulrik , Evans Tom J. , Shiomi Kozue , Åkesson Susanne
Published: January 2022

Habitat preferences and foraging strategies affect population-level space use and are therefore crucial to understanding population change and implementing spatial conservation and management actions. We investigated the breeding season habitat preference and foraging site fidelity of the under-studied and threatened, Baltic Sea population of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia). Using GPS devices, we tracked 20 adult individuals at two breeding colonies, in Sweden and Finland, from late incubation through chick-rearing. Analyzing foraging movements during this period, we describe trip characteristics for each colony, daily metrics of effort, habitat use, and foraging site fidelity. We found that daily time spent away from the colony increased throughout the season, with colony-level differences in terms of distance travelled per day. In general, terns selected shallow waters between 0–5 meters in depth with certain individuals using inland lakes for foraging. We show, for the first time, that individual Caspian Terns are faithful to foraging sites throughout the breeding season, and that individuals are highly repeatable in their strategies regarding foraging site fidelity. These results fill important knowledge gaps for this at-risk population, and extend our general knowledge of the breeding season foraging ecology of this widespread species.
Habitat selection of sympatric Siberian Grouse and Hazel Grouse in natural and exploited forests of the lower Amur region
Authors: Ludwig Tobias , Siano Ralf , Andreev Alexander V.
Published: January 2022

The Siberian Grouse (Falcipennis falcipennis), which is endemic to the “dark-needle” taiga of the Russian Far East, is one of the least studied grouse species in the world. We examined post-breeding habitat selection of Siberian Grouse and contrasted it with that of the better examined Hazel Grouse (Tetrastes bonasia) in two areas near Komsomolsk na Amure, Russia. To infer species-specific preferences, we used field sampling, logistic regression, and AIC model selection, and compared late summer habitats of Siberian Grouse and Hazel Grouse in a mountain- and hilly area in the dark needle taiga. Our study is the first to explain Siberian Grouse habitat relationships with an empirical modelling approach. Results indicate proportions of coniferous/ pioneer trees forest and rejuvenation to be the most important covariates separating Siberian and Hazel Grouse observation sites in forests from both areas. Siberian Grouse tended to select sites with low proportions of pioneer trees and rejuvenation but availability of dwarf shrubs. Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis) appeared to be of high importance for the presence of Siberian Grouse in both regions. Hazel Grouse were common in places dominated by pioneer trees with high canopy cover, and high proportions of grass/herb cover. Hazel Grouse also occurred more often in forest sites with dense vertical layering and rejuvenation. Modern forestry, which results in increasing amounts of forests at younger successional stages, is likely to favour the Hazel Grouse at the expense of the Siberian Grouse.
Harm Imbrication and Virtualised Violence: Reconceptualising the Harms of Doxxing
Authors: Anderson Briony , Wood Mark A
Published: January 2022

This article develops a framework for analysing the harms of doxxing: the practice of publishing personal identifying information about someone on the internet, usually with malicious intent. Doxxing is not just a breach of privacy, nor are its effects limited to first‑order harms to an individual’s bodily integrity. Rather, doxxing increases the spectre of second-order harms to an individual’s security interests. To better understand these harms—and the relationships between them—we draw together the theories of Bhaskar, Deleuze and Levi to develop two concepts: the virtualisation of violence and harm imbrication. The virtualisation of violence captures how, when concretised into structures, the potential for harm can be virtualised through language, writing and digitisation. We show that doxxed information virtualises violence through constituting harm-generating structures and we analyse how the virtual harm-generating potential of these structures is actualised through first- and second-order harms against a doxxing victim. The concept of harm imbrication, by contrast, helps us to analyse the often-imbricated and supervenient relationship between harms. In doing so, it helps us explain the emergent – and supervenient – relationship between doxxing’s first- and second-order harms.
Henry James, Affect and the Writer/Researcher in the Academy
Authors: Cole Catherine
Published: January 2022

In this paper I am going to examine the role of the fiction writer/academic in university writing programs, especially the way in which they wear numerous research hats. Multi-skilled in every sense of the word, they range over university research restlessly - research for a novel one day, pedagogical research the next, time snatched, if they’re lucky, to pursue their ‘formal’ research projects, to apply for funding not just from the ARC but from the Literature Board and other community funds available to writers. They find the time to give conference papers and meet other researchers in their fields. While researchers in other disciplines such as science might say this is how it is in the academy today, especially in relation to expected research outcomes, the researcher in a writing program, I would argue, often enters research in a more complex and diverse manner, doffing one hat to replace it with another - sometimes deliberately crossing over into different research styles and genres, sometimes forgetting which hat they’re actually wearing.

Writers Barnstorm Postgraduate Creative Writing Schools
Authors: Lynch Gay
Published: January 2022

Postgraduate creative writing has taken off and the candidates are under scrutiny: first-class passengers carrying literary gongs and impressive publication lists; business-class passengers with professional writing backgrounds in journalism and literary bureaucracy; economy-class passengers returning midlife from the world of work and carrying small publication records (a book, short stories, some poems); and student concession passengers fresh from Honours. This paper will argue that while all these groups enrich and diversify the creative writing cohort, economy-class passengers, focused and requiring little in-flight service, are value-added.
Fields of Inquiry: Poetic Composition, Revision, and Transcendence
Authors: LaFemina Gerry
Published: January 2022

Composition is not a one-time event; revision helps us hone our thoughts/perceptions/feelings and enables us to explore ideas more fully, give moments greater lyricism. Furthermore, done well - done with anemphasis on craft - this process embodies and expands student curiosity about the world, themselves, and the art form. This prepares them for the composition, prepares us for the deeper cave to explore, the fleeting nirvana that is our next best poem.
Products of the Discipline

Five books submitted as products of Australian writing programmes cover the spectrum from poetry to non-fiction. Such diversity makes generalisation difficult, but the very framework for a review of ‘university books’ assumes some grounds on which to approach these texts as a group,and invites inquiry into the ‘zeitgeist’ of a specific literary culture.

Fictocriticism, Affect, Mimesis: Engendering Differences
Authors: Gibbs Anna
Published: January 2022

I want to begin by suggesting that fictocriticism is a ‘haunted writing’: traced by numerous voices which work now in unison, at other times in counterpoint, and at others still against each other, in deliberate discord. The problem of haunted writing comes to the fore in academic discourse when disciplinary authority and discursive protocol function as the voice of the dead stalking the present so as to paralyse it with terror, or else as a kind of watchful superego as resistant to modification as if it were a text inscribed in stone. In an act of defiance, an attempt to exorcise the paralysing interdictions of disciplinary academic authority, feminist writers in particular have sought other relationships to such forms of authority than those of simple submission and unthinking repetition.
Margins: The poetic text and its theoretical gesturing
Authors: Hecq Dominique
Published: January 2022

Say poem and I see margins emerging. Question. How marginal is poetry? To answer my question I must shift to the margins of poetics and you must be prepared to occupy the margins of poetry. Why? Because the discourse produced in that kind of ‘in-between’ space stakes out for itself and shows how poetry is a language mode that challenges speech and thought frames as it displaces them towards, or within, various margins. And why? Because poetry puts its finger on the disjunction between speech andwriting. After all, Rilke says somewhere that poetry is the capacity to ‘remain in the open’, the ability to take risks.
Fiction Writing: Theft or Weft?
Authors: Lynch Gay
Published: January 2022

What can a writer of fiction steal: a voice, a landscape, some history, a story, a name? Is barefaced best, ficto-critical more honest, slight of hand more deft? Good relationships and elaborate permissions have failed to protect the best of writers. Preparing for hostilities can warp a narrative. Examining the heart of a dark obsessive story could lend to an exploration of the notion of heredity, but what if the story is historically anchored to a name, your name, or at least the name you took up with a man? Is it the weight of the exegesis bearing down, which demands of the writer such self-conscious examination of the inchoate novel, conceived but not transformed? This paper sets the rights and privacies of others, against the quirks of imagination, and the trust writers invest in themselves in order to create their work.
Writing/Reading: Renegotiating criticism

In discussions on creative writing pedagogy the terms ‘reading’ and ‘criticism’ are often used as if reading, writing and criticism are discrete, formal, functions. Students must read, they must ‘read as writers’, they are expected to learn from their reading of texts and apply this critical and analytical knowledge to their writing…

That could be the definition of a novelist.
Challenges to Afghan Refugee Children’s Education in Pakistan: A Human Security Perspective
Authors: Jahangir Asifa , Khan Furqan
Published: January 2022

Human security is an essential component of the contemporary intra-state conflicts; promulgating renewed understanding of the perpetuating nature of the Afghan problem. Afghanistan, from the Soviet invasion to the US’ long war, faces continued Human Security challenges, especially lack of education in around 80 percent of school-aged children of Afghan refugees. Pakistan, which itself has the second largest number of school-aged children out of school, faces illiteracy in children of Afghan refugees as the surmountable challenge that links down to the seven broader components of human security identified by Mahbub-ul-Haq, Pakistan’s former finance minister and economist, in the 1994 Human Development Report. The growing illiteracy in second and third-generation Afghan refugees is the product of poverty, socio-economic disparities, and socio-cultural restrictions, especially in regards to the relative discouragement of female education. In order to offset the gravity of challenges to the educational aspect of human security, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is continuously cooperating with the Pakistani government in enhancing educational infrastructure in terms of community and home-based schooling, vocational and technical training, and capacity building of Pakistan’s schooling system to accommodate Afghan refugee children. Therefore, the paper takes qualitative checks of the primary sources from the government of Pakistan and UNHCR and secondary sources to find the answers to three following questions in different four parts of the paper. The result of this study is that the main challenge for Afghan refugee child education in Pakistan is the poor quality of education. Therefore, UNHCR should work with the Pakistani government to develop investment programs and put in place solid surveillance and oversight of schools to improve their quality to an acceptable standard.

The present study aims to explore different perceptions about the concept of work-life balance and the coping strategies used by working women to maintain this balance in the culturally unique context of Pakistan. The participation rate of working mothers has increased substantially in the labor force of Pakistan, creating problems for them in balancing their work and life responsibilities. Having a job with kids and family responsibilities comes in conflict with social and cultural values. This study adopted a qualitative research approach for in-depth exploration of the topic, engaged a snowball sampling technique to collect the data from 16 professional women using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. The themes identification in this qualitative study is through the Braun & Clarke thematic six-phase approach. The main objective of the thematic analysis is to recognize themes; identify the significant data patterns, and achieve the research objectives. Thematic analysis revealed that the participants perceived work-life balance as a personal philosophy, managing both sides and event-based. Working women showed their faith in Allah and considered it the most helpful coping strategy. This faith gives them greater strength and courage to deal with problems. Pakistani working women frequently used various work-life balance coping strategies such as; support systems, time and stress management, determining priorities, and task crafting. The study implies that organizations should implement such HR policies and practices that support working women, providing them with child care centers and flexible schedules.

Молодежь как социально-демографическая группа является важным общественным ресурсом, она в скором будущем будет определять механизмы управления обществом, развивать и направлять как внутреннюю, так и внешнюю политику государства. Но эксперты отмечают низкий уровень доверия молодежи к государственным институтам, а также низкий уровень вовлеченности молодежи в политическую жизнь. Знание уровня готовности региональной молодежи к участию в политике, выявление факторов и условий низкой политической активности молодых людей в регионе необходимо для разработки региональной стратегии повышения политической активности молодежи. Именно это и определило проведение авторами прикладного социологического исследования путем анкетирования, в котором приняли участие 514 человек. В результате исследования было выявлено, что молодежь не относит политику к приоритетам своих интересов, интерес к политике носит скорее ситуационный характер, нежели постоянный, хотя молодые люди зачастую готовы заявить о своих интересах, так как обладают высоким уровнем профессиональной и личностной культурой. К важным факторам и условиям низкой политической активности молодых можно отнести низкий уровень доверия к политическим элитам, при этом высок уровень готовности к участию в политической жизни региона. Это необходимо учитывать при разработке региональных программ повышения политической активности молодежи.

Свобода и автономия личности: к вопросу о приватном пространстве
Authors: Чеснокова Леся Владимировна
Published: January 2022

Рассмотрены свобода и автономия личности в связи с правом на приватное пространство, возникшее в европейских обществах Нового времени. Условием существования приватности является наличие автономного индивида и общества, признающего за ним право на физическую и психологическую неприкосновенность. Возможность принимать автономные решения противоречит установкам патернализма, согласно которым можно вмешиваться в решения индивида ради его блага. Забота об индивиде по-разному оценивается в различных культурных контекстах. В обществах, где в качестве приоритета выступает уважение к свободе и неприкосновенности личности, она может восприниматься как вмешательство в приватную сферу человека и унижение его достоинства. Предпочтительным в публичной сфере является соблюдение социальной дистанции, что дает индивиду возможность самостоятельно делать выбор и нести за него ответственность.
Конфессиональный фактор в развитии экологической культуры в современном обществе

Published: January 2022

Взлеты экологизма и утверждение концепции «зеленого» общества и зеленой экономики являются, согласно позиции авторов, состоянием постсекулярного общества, в котором конфессиональность воспринимается как культурно-историческая традиция, связанная с прошлым, эпохой потребительского по отношению к природе сознания. В данном контексте авторы последовательно исследуют конфигурации конфессионального фактора и экологического сознания в России и Европе. Сделан вывод о том, что европейское экологическое сознание нонконфессионально и в будущем обречено на поражение по сравнению с исламским фактором. В России отношение к экологическому сознанию определяется альянсированием государства и традиционных конфессий, что создает коридор возможностей в рамках конфессионального фактора создавать самостоятельные и комплиментарные модели экологического сознания и экологической политики.

An 88-year-old right-handed man was admitted to our hospital for cognitive impairment and right-sided paralysis. His head non-contrast computed tomography (CT) showed large low-density areas (LDA) and fibrous structures in the left occipital and temporal lobe regions. Despite the fact that it had been more than 10 years since his stroke, rehabilitation was effective. This is a rare case in which cerebellar culmen -substantia nigra tract assisted rehabilitation after stroke.

Liver fibrosis is considered now as one of the most spread disease worldwide. It is attributed to different underlying causative agents such as viral infections, ethanol-induced liver steatosis, and non-ethanol-induced hepatic steatosis, autoimmune and inherited disorders. Hepatic fibrosis was known to behave as tissue repair mechanism in which the initiation occurred through complicated series of interrelated and regulated signaling. These signals involved interactions between different types of cells. Among these cells are hepatocytes, non-parenchymal cells such as hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, biliary epithelial cells, liver associated lymphocytes, and the non-resident infiltrating immune cells. current work was aimed to investigate the possible potential hepatopretective effects of krill oil alone and in combination with silymarin against Carbone tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis/injury in white albino rats. Moreover, fifty white albino rats of both genders were utilized in this study. During such study liver fibrosis/damage was induced by intraperitoneal (I.P) injection of Carbone tetrachloride (CCl4) 50% in olive oil 1ml/kg twice weekly for 6 consecutive weeks in the induction group. Krill oil alone and in combination with silymarin was administered orally concurrently with I.P CCl4 for 6 consecutive weeks in the treatment groups. At the end of treatment period all animals were killed ,serum and tissue samples were collected for subsequent analyses. Serum levels of aminotransferases (ALT,AST), albumin , total serum bilirubin (T.S.B), and total anti-oxidant capacity were measured spectrophotometrically. In addition tissue level (content) of liver hudroxyproline content (Hyp) was determined by ELISA and relative liver weight percentage (R.L.W%) was also estimated.Results were significantly revealed that krill oil potentiate the hepatoprotective effects of silymarin against Carbone tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis/injury.
