THE LANGUAGE OF DHAD AND THE ARROWS OF LINGUISTIC GLOBALIZATION- CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS –
Authors: CHOUMISSA Benmadah , Belaid NACERA Chafa
Published: October 2023

This research paper is a modest touching on a topic that comes down in the context of a scientific activity that aims to clarify the position of the Arabic language among the languages of the world, and to investigate the challenges that it faces in the light of linguistic globalization, and to search for the antidote to eliminate this deadly linguistic poison that has spread in the Arabic language as a result of globalization Accordingly, language is a basic element in the knowledge society, as the self, identity, and tool for making society. The culture of every nation is latent in its language. It spreads with the strength of its people, and recedes with their weakness, as it is the cultural arsenal that builds the nation and protects its entity. Accordingly, who did not possess his language did not possess the reasons for progress in a time when he who did not advance was late, and therefore the great powers compete in order to enable their languages in their countries, and spread them in the world, harnessing all their political, material, human and technical power to achieve this goal, taking as a slogan in that “If you teach your people their language, you possess them.” It has been proven realistically, that the Arabic language lives today in the midst of the jungles of linguistic globalization and is waging a war of legitimate survival despite the challenges it faces, meaning that it has become fraught with foreign languages, as it has come to look at the English language with a superior look, while looking at the language of the Dhad with an inferior look, which is dangerous. Based on this, the problem we seek to address is: - What are the ways to improve the language of Dhad, and to advance it in the light of linguistic globalization? - Is the Arabic language able to keep pace with the developments of the times and withstand the hurricanes of globalization? To decipher this code, we relied on a plan that included an introduction and a conclusion, with three axes in the middle: - The website of the language of Al-Dhad globally. Linguistic globalization and its impact on the Arabic language. - Ways to advance the Arabic language to face linguistic globalization..
Transnational organized crime in Latin America: Current trends and prospects for military crime-fighting operations
Authors: Pyatakov A. N.
Published: October 2023

Transnational organized crime (TOC) is among the most pressing new challenges to international security due to both its direct economic and social repercussions and the threat it poses to the very institution of the sovereign state. This problem is particularly acute in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), which are marked by exceedingly high rates of TOC activity and influence of cross-border criminal groups. This study identifies current trends in the development of TOC in the region, as well as the approaches of the Latin American countries to combating it. In the first section the author advances a hypothesis that TOC is not an anomaly, but an integral part and an attribute of globalization. From this point of view, cross-border criminal groups may be perceived as a specific kind of TNCs. The second section considers the key trends and specific features of organized crime development in LAC countries. The author shows that cross-border criminal groups and TNCs share a number of common traits. In particular, their activities contribute to the erosion of national sovereignty as they seek to oust states from their sphere of interests by both legal and illegal means. The third section examines the current approaches of LAC countries to combating cross-border criminal groups. The author emphasizes the growing role of the armed forces in fighting organized crime, and the increasing militarization of public security on the whole. On the one hand, this trend towards the ‘policialization’ of armed forces shows that the authorities of Latin American states recognize the threat posed by cross-border criminal groups. On the other hand, it indicates their inability to counter this threat effectively. The author concludes that the TOP problem is unsolvable within the existing system of public relations in LAC countries, since it is rooted in the very nature of the current model of globalization.

Зерттеу нәтижелерінің көмегімен атмосфералық ауадағы озон концентрациясын өлшеудің ең тиімді жолы оларды тәжді разрядтағы иондардың қозғалғыштығы арқылы анықтау екенін көрсетті. Сондықтан, алдымен, оң бірполярлы тәжі жағдайында иондардың қозғалғыштығының мәндерін эксперименттік түрде өлшеу мүмкіндіктерін қарастырамыз. Озон концентрациясын өлшеу озонның физика – химиясы мен озон өндіру технологиясы үшін өзекті болып табылады, ал ауадағы озон мөлшерін үздіксіз бақылау тұрмыстық және қызметтік үй-жайлар мен емдеу орындарын озондауға дайындау кезінде де қажет. Барлық жағдайларда озонометрлерге олардың дизайнының қарапайымдылығы мен жоғары шуылға төзімділігіне, өлшеу дәлдігі кезінде жұмыс жасау ыңғайлылығына талаптар қойылады [15]. Берілген жұмыста разрядтық ток шамасының иондардың орташа қозғалғыштығының мәніне тікелей тәуелділігін ескере отырып, токтың ұлғаюынан разрядтық саңылау ішіндегі озонның көлемдік концентрациясын анықтауға мүмкіндік беретін, озонды оның жоғары концентрациясында бақылау үшін қолайлырақ болатын әдіс ұсынылды. Бақылау дәлдігі мен нәтижелердің сенімділігін арттыру үшін теңдестірілген өлшеу сұлбасы қолданылды. Кілтті сөздер: озон, тәж разряды, иондар, озон концентрациясы, өлшеу сұлбасы."

Filtro de confiabilidade nas contratações estatais: a peculiaridade da suspensão de licitar e contratar do art. 84 da Lei das Estatais
Authors: Sundfeld Carlos Ari , Gabriel Yasser
Published: October 2023

Este artigo discute as inovações do art. 84 da Lei 13.303, de 2016 (Lei das Estatais) relativamente à análise prévia da confiabilidade dos parceiros privados em contratações estatais. A peculiaridade do art. 84 está em prever um poder sancionador externo, pelo qual qualquer empresa estatal está autorizada a aplicar a suspensão temporária de licitar e contratar por infrações que não necessariamente a envolveram. Isso se explica pelo objetivo da sanção, que não é dissuadir, compensar prejuízos ou suspender o sancionado do mercado público em geral, mas sobretudo prevenir riscos nas contratações futuras da própria sancionadora.

Authors: Mr. Bharath G  , Mr. Bharath K  , Dr.Venkatesh Sugumar
Published: October 2023

Skin diseases are common and can cause discomfort, pain, and even disfigurement if left untreated. Unfortunately, many people do not seek treatment due to a lack of knowledge about them. To address this issue, raising awareness and providing access to resources are essential. Recent advances in deep learning techniques have shown promising results in detecting skin diseases from images. Combining this technology with a user-friendly application can help to provide preliminary diagnosis and connect patients with qualified dermatologists for in-person or remote consultation. The proposed application will allow users to upload images of their skin ailments and receive an immediate diagnosis using deep learning techniques. The application will be equipped with a user-friendly interface and will be capable of detecting any type of skin disease such as allergies, viral infections, cancer, etc. Once the diagnosis is made, the application will then integrate the patient with a qualified dermatologist for further consultation. The application will provide various options for the patient to connect with the doctor, including call, chat or appointment scheduling. The doctor will have access to the patient's medical history and images of their skin condition, enabling them to make an informed diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment. In addition, a fundraising campaign will be conducted for patients who require financial assistance for their treatment. Public health campaigns and community outreach programs can also help to increase awareness about skin diseases and encourage people to seek treatment when necessary. By doing so, we can improve the overall health and well-being of our communities

Validity of the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills–Fourth Edition in People With Schizophrenia
Authors: Chiu En-Chi , Lee Shu-Chun
Published: October 2023

Importance: The Test of Visual Perceptual Skills–Fourth Edition (TVPS–4), which utilizes seven subscales, comprehensively assesses visual perception.

Objective: To examine the ecological, convergent, and discriminative validities of the TVPS–4 in the assessment of people with schizophrenia.

Design: Prospective and observational study.

Setting: Community rehabilitation facilities.

Participants: Eighty people with schizophrenia.

Outcomes and Measures: To examine ecological validity, we estimated correlations (Pearson’s r) between the TVPS–4 scores (i.e., overall scale and subscales) and the Activities of Daily Living Rating Scale–III (ADLRS–III). To examine convergent validity, we computed the correlations (r) between the TVPS–4 scores and two cognitive measures. An analysis of variance was applied to compare the TVPS–4 scores in groups with different disease severities to examine discriminative validity.

Results: Moderate to strong correlations were found between TVPS–4 scores and ADLRS–III scores (rs = .33–.61) and between TVPS–4 scores and two cognitive measures (rs = .44–.70). TVPS–4 scores could discriminate among the three groups with different severities of psychiatric illnesses (p < .05), except for two subscales (Visual Memory and Spatial Relationships).

Conclusions and Relevance: The TVPS–4 has sufficient ecological validity, good convergent validity, and acceptable discriminative validity in assessing people with schizophrenia. The Spatial Relationships subscale, which displays a strong correlation with the ADLRS–III, can reveal the status of daily living in people with schizophrenia. Two subscales showing inadequate discriminative validity should be used cautiously to discriminate people with different severities of schizophrenia.

What This Article Adds: The TVPS–4 showed three sound validities (ecological, convergent, and discriminative) for assessing visual perception in people with schizophrenia.

This study compared the effects of a 6-week combined plyometric and sprint-training program on the sand to regular preseason training, on the athletic performance and technical actions of beach handball (BH) players. Athletes were randomly assigned either to the control (CG, n = 12; BH training only) or the experimental group (EG, n = 12; plyometric + sprint + BH training). Assessments conducted before and after the training period included a squat jump, a countermovement jump, the Abalakov jump, a 15-m sprint, a modified Course-Navette endurance test, and four sport-specific BH throwing speed tests: a standing penalty throw, a 3-step running throw, a jump throw, and a 360º jump throw. The training intervention enhanced all athletic performance measures (all, p < 0.05). In contrast, the only improvement in the CG included endurance performance (p < 0.05). Significant time-group differences were noted in favor of the EG compared to the CG (p < 0.05) in the squat jump, the countermovement jump, the Abalakov jump, the jump throw velocity and 360º jump throw velocity. In conclusion, compared to BH regular training, 6 weeks of sand surface preseason plyometric and sprint training combined with regular BH training induced greater improvements in athletic performance and specific skills in BH players.
Is the Field Test of FUT-SAT a Better Experimental Design
to Identify the Specific Characteristics
of Tactical Performance according
to Youth Male Soccer Players' Positional Roles?
Authors: Ciro-Cardona Juan , Marulanda-Tabares John , Moniz Felipe , Valencia-Sánchez Wilder
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to compare soccer players’ tactical performance according to their positional roles in the field test of FUT-SAT. The sample consisted of 54 male players from elite youth clubs (Medellín-Colombia), U16 and U17 categories. Participants trained five times per week (Tier 3). We used the System of Tactical Assessment (FUT-SAT), which evaluates tactical behaviour and performance through core tactical principles of soccer. The field test is structured in a numerical configuration of a goalkeeper + 3 players vs. 3 players + a goalkeeper played during 4 min on a playing field 36 m long by 27 m wide. All teams were structured with one player in each positional role (one defender, one midfielder, and one forward). To determine the differences between the positional roles, the following factors were analysed: the number of actions, the percentage of correct actions, the place of action related to the principles, and the Tactical Performance Index of core tactical principles. A total of 2891 tactical actions distributed in nine games were analysed. A Kruskal-Wallis test for the independent groups (defenders, midfielders, and forwards) or a one-way ANOVA was used. There was no difference in soccer players’ tactical performance and behaviour between players of different positional roles in the field test of FUT-SAT. Therefore, teams need to be evaluated with the system of play with players in all field sectors in medium or large sided games. The system of play can be chosen according to the category given that competitions are held in reduced spaces and with fewer players.

Regular exercise can modulate the immune system functioning through changes in the number and function of leukocytes as well as in red blood cells and other typical blood markers. High intensity exercise promotes increases in cytotoxic activity, phagocytic capacity, chemotaxis and cell apoptosis. The aim of the study was to compare the chronic effects of a 24-week training program using CrossFit® methodology on hematological variables of men vs. women. Twenty-nine CrossFit® athletes (35.3 ± 10.4 years, 175.0 ± 9.2 cm, 79.5 ± 16.4 kg) participated in the study. The blood count, the lipid profile and glucose markers were measured every two months during the study period. The erythrocyte count and hemoglobin concentrations increased in months 4 and 6 in men and women, respectively. Hematocrit levels increased in men in months 2, 4 and 6, while in women only in month 6. Red cell distribution width increased in men in month 6 when compared to the value in month 2. Segmented neutrophils increased in men in month 6 and eosinophil levels increased in women in month 6. Differences between the two sexes were observed in monocytes levels at baseline, as well as in months 2, 4 and 6. Cross-Fit® training increased red cell count indicators in both sexes, which may be related to increased erythropoiesis. Some white blood cell counts were altered and these differed between sexes. The number of lymphocytes remained stable throughout the experiment.

Published: October 2023

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of free cash flow activities on the financial performance of listed Pharmaceutical firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of operating cash flow, changes in working capital, non-cash expenses and capital expenditure on return on assets of the selected Pharmaceutical firms. The study adopted an ex-post facto design. Data were generated from the audited financial reports of the seven selected listed Pharmaceutical firms in Nigeria from 2010-2021. Panel multiple regression technique was employed to analyze the data using Stata 14.2. The study found that operating cash flow and changes in working capital have significant positive and negative effect on return on assets with t-statistics and (p-values) 4.93(0.000) and -5.47(0.000) respectively investment in non-current assets exerted a non-significant negative effect on return on assets with t-statistics and (p-values) -0.06(0.950) and -0.27(0.785) respectively. These results imply that only operating cash flow contributed positively to financial performance among the free cash flow activities. Therefore the study recommended efficiency in free cash flow management, particularly the management of working capital to cushion the adverse effect of financial performance of the firms.

The study investigated the Impact of mind-mapping instructional strategy on Secondary School Students Achievement and Retention in Biology in Delta State. Two research questions were raised and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The design for the study was pretest, posttest, and delayed test control group quasi-experimental design. The Sample for the study comprised 151 SSII Biology students sampled using simple random sampling technique. Instruments used for data collection were duly validated Biology Achievement Test (BAT). Reliability of BAT was established using Kuder-Richardson formula 21 (KR-21) which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.81. Obtained data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, percentage and ANOVA. The results show that there was a significant difference in the mean achievement and retention between students taught Biology using mind-mapping strategy and lecture method. It was concluded that mind-mapping strategy promotes students’ achievement and retention in Biology more than the lecture method. It was thus, recommended that biology teachers in secondary schools should adopt and integrate the use of mind-mapping strategies in the teaching and learning of Biology in Delta State.

The present study evaluates the haematological indices of pullets fed with varying dietary levels of incorporated Moringa oleifera leaf meal. One hundred pullets at point of lay were purchased from the Kogi State University Poultry department and were randomly allocated into five treatment groups of twenty pullets each, designated as T1 (control), T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively, housed in deep litter pen in the experimental poultry house of the same University and were fed with formulated feed containing 0%, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% and 1.2% dietary levels of leaf meal incorporated diets and water provided ad libitium. The pullets were fed with the feed formulation for eight weeks after which blood samples were aseptically collected and analyzed for packed cell volume, haemoglobin, and red blood cells, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, lymphocytes and heterophils. Data collected were statistically analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on statistical product and service solution (SPSS) version 20, at 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). Results showed that at four weeks, there was a statistical significant difference (p < 0.05) in the white blood cells and heterophils while other parameters did not exhibit any statistical significant difference (p > 0.05). At 8 weeks, no statistical significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in all the parameters. This shows that Moringa oleifera leaf meal did not significantly affect the haematological profiles of the pullets at point of lay.

Objective: To compare the frequency of post-operative wound infection with single layer versus multiple layer closure of wound in patients undergoing major surgeries.
Study Design: Quasi-experimental Study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Aug 2018 toAug 2019.
Methodology: After getting written consent and considering the inclusion criteria 150 patients were chosen for this study. They were indiscriminately separated in two groups by using chit method. In Group A, patients underwent surgery with single layer closure. In Group B, patients underwent surgery with multiple layer closure. Most of surgeries were done under general anesthesia. Then post-operative wound infection was noted in the patients of both groups by using proforma. SPSS version 20 was used for all the collected data analysis.
Results: In this study mean age of the patients in Single Layer Group was 48.17±9.07years and in Double Layer Group was 51.55±18.72 years. Male to female ratio was 1:1.03. The most common cause of surgery was colostomy closure found in 34(22.67%) patients. Wound infection noted in 19(12.67%) patients. In Single Layer Group patients the wound infection was found in 4(5.3%) patients whereas in Double Layer Group the wound infection was noted in 15(20%) patients (p-value=0.007).
Conclusion: Single layer closure is safe technique which showed significantly less post-op wound infection than to double layer closure of skin in patients undergoing major surgeries.

Study Design: Quasi-experimental study
Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan
Methodology: Sixty ASA physical status I and II patients undergoing upper limb surgery were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups (n=20) in each group. Regional anesthesia was achieved with 3mg/kg of Lignocaine hydrochloride(L) (02%) in Group A (n=20). Group B received 3 mg/kg of Lignocaine hydrochloride plus Dexmedetomidine (D/L) 0.5 μg/kg. Group C (n=20) received 3 mg/kg of lignocaine hydrochloride plus 300 mg of paracetamol (P/L). Onset and recovery time of Sensory and motor blocks and post-operative pain using visual analogue score was evaluated.
Results: Group B showed significantly less sensory block onset time and motor block onset time as compared with Group Aand Group C. Similarly, sensory block recovery time and motor block recovery time were significantly more in Group B compared to other groups. visual analogue score was significantly less in Group B in comparison with Group A and C. First postoperative analgesic request time was significantly longer in the Group B than in Group C.
Conclusion: It was concluded that Dexmedetomidine/Lignocaine hydrochloride provides better analgesia compared to paracetamol/Lignocaine hydrochloride in intravenous regional anesthesia.

¿Escuela o prisión?

Las deficiencias o limitaciones de la familia hacen que el Estado tenga que asumir el cuidado, orientación y educación de los niños abandonados, en situación de peligro o que han cometido acciones delictivas. En muchos casos, la misma estructura social imposibilita que la mayoría de la población pueda dar una debida atención a la infancia, lo que supone una grave contradicción social. Por otro lado, los sistemas institucionales que históricamente han cuidado de la infancia han cumplido una función de aislamiento más que de educación o "reeducación". En El Salvador, la protección de menores en situación irregular se encuentra sometida al Código de Menores y a la jurisdicción de tribunales especiales, y se cuenta con un centro de observación, un centro de orientación y dos centros de readaptación. La historia, organización y funcionamiento del Centro de Orientación Rosa Virginia Pelletier muestra cómo las estructuras institucionales pueden contradecir de hecho los objetivos formales y las intenciones personales. La normatividad informal exige al personal de ese Centro una función de vigilancia y a las internas un papel de reclusas, lo que puede terminar convirtiendo socialmente a las niñas en verdaderas "delincuentes". Al final del estudio se sugieren algunas medidas concretas que pueden ayudar a superar esta situación, aunque un cambio más a fondo no parezca posible en las presentes condiciones sociopolíticas.
