Authors: mu brahim , nsal Cansu , Bozda Bar , n Mikail , Bolu Abdullah
Published: October 2022

The relationship between alexithymia and quality of life has attracted the attention of researchers recently. However, these studies have been conducted on patient groups or the general population. This study aims to determine the simultaneous effect of the level of alexithymia on the components of quality of life in a healthy university student population using the structural equation model. The sample of this cross-sectional study consists of 183 healthy volunteer university students without mental and physical illnesses. Sociodemographic Data Form, Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) were applied to the participants. In this current study, 48.6% (n = 89) of the participants were female and 51.4% (n = 94) were male, and the mean age was 21.88 ± 2.11 years. 13.1% (n = 24) of the volunteers were categorized as alexithymic, 25.2% (n = 46) as borderline alexithymic and 61.7% (n = 113) as non-alexithymic. It has been shown that Toronto Alexithymia Scale has an inverse significant and moderate effect on the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale (Standardized regression coefficient -0.40). Our study shows that alexithymia has a detrimental impact on the quality of life of healthy university students who are not suffering from any medical or mental illnesses. It is thought that it would be beneficial to develop specific intervention methods for alexithymic individuals to remove these alexithymia-related problems and improve quality of life. Longitudinal research in the future will be beneficial in explaining the causal relationships between alexithymia and quality of life.

This study aimed to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of entrepreneurship education programs at universities in Bali. The identified results are used as the basis for formulating strategies for developing entrepreneurship education in order to be able to create more and more young entrepreneurs. The approach used in this research is SWOT analysis and internal–external matrix. The results of the study indicate that entrepreneurship education at universities in Bali has been going well; however, there are still obstacles or threats faced and weaknesses from the entrepreneurship education programs that have been running, such as lack of high public appreciation, especially parent’s respect toward the entrepreneurial profession, and the lack of awards obtained from universities. Based on the existing environmental conditions, in the future, the obstacles and weaknesses of existing entrepreneurship education need to be improved by frequently conducting literacy on entrepreneurship education to the community and giving higher awards to students who succeed in becoming entrepreneurs.

EU COVID-19 purchase and export mechanism: A framework for EU operational autonomy
Authors: Petti Alessandro
Published: October 2022

The burgeoning debate on EU strategic autonomy calls for an appraisal of the role of law in the pursuit of the EU’s strategic objectives. This article examines EU executive measures regarding procurement and free movement regulation of critical resources and vaccines in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. It introduces the notion of EU operational autonomy to account for the mixed operative framework governing the joint actions of the Union and its Member States.The article argues that this framework heralds new patterns of executive centralization whereby political motives increasingly inform legal structures. It identifies the internal and external facets of EU operational autonomy, and highlights the composite dynamics emerging from neighbouring country association to EU operational autonomy. The study of these dynamics also offers insights into the complex balance between the EU’s regional and multilateral commitments.

The New European Financial Architecture for Development: Change or Continuity?
Authors: Orbie Jan , Bougrea Anissa , Vermeiren Mattias
Published: October 2022

After years of discussions, the European Union’s (EU’s) new development finance architecture finally came into being under the umbrella of the ‘Status Quo Plus’. This article aims to, firstly, bring much-needed clarification in the nebulous landscape of EU development finance; and secondly, gain a more profound understanding of recent changes by examining to what extent they witness change or continuity. Based on a large variety of empirical data and secondary literature, we find that EU development finance has witnessed significant institutional changes while ideological trends are continued. Institutionally, we elaborate on the simplification of instruments, a shift in their accessibility – in favour of national development agencies and private actors whereby the European Investment Bank (EIB) loses its monopoly on commercial guarantees – and a reshuffling of power play in favour of the European Commission and (larger) EU Member States. In terms of policy content and underlying ideology, however, we observe a deepening of the trend towards financialization within EU (development finance) institutions which ties in with the geopoliticization of aid. We conclude that the ‘Plus’ represents institutional change that nevertheless primarily served (intentionally or not) to support a continuing ideological commitment to selling development finance to the market. The conclusions summarize the main findings and formulate suggestions for further research.

The Different Legal Concepts of ‘Seat’ and ‘Registered Office’ in Cyprus Company Law
Authors: Papadopoulos Thomas
Published: October 2022

This article analyses the different legal concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ in Cyprus company law. The distinction between the concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ in Cyprus company law is very important for the definition of corporate investor in respect of the Republic of Cyprus as a contracting party in several extra-EU Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs). Although Cyprus is an incorporation theory jurisdiction with the ‘registered office’ as the connecting factor, the legal concept of ‘seat’ is also used in Cyprus company law with a different meaning than ‘registered office’. The Cyprus legislature uses explicitly the legal concept of ‘seat’ in Cyprus Companies Law (Chapter 113-Cap. 113) and is not restricted only to the legal concept of ‘registered office’. The difference between the legal concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ in Cyprus company law is underpinned by an analysis of Cyprus Companies Law (Chapter 113-Cap. 113), where the notion of ‘seat’ appears with a different meaning than the notion of ‘registered office’, and by the distinguishing nature of Cyprus law as a mixed legal system, which combines characteristics of both common law and continental civil law. Continental law notions, such as ‘seat’, are compatible with the mixed legal system of Cyprus. This distinction between the concepts of ‘seat’ and ‘registered office’ is also supported by arguments deriving from the implementation of the European Company (Societas Europaea (SE)) Statute in Cyprus. The adoption in Cyprus company law of both legal concepts of ‘registered office’ and ‘seat’ but with different meanings is also compatible with the EU fundamental freedom of establishment (Articles 49–54 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)).

Framing Accountability in Business-to-Government Data Sharing: The Gap Filling Role of Businesses’ Corporate Digital Responsibility
Authors: Schneider Giulia
Published: October 2022

This study questions the accountability gap in business-to-government data sharing: if most European policy efforts are being devoted to the objective of unlocking private datasets for the “public good” under the EU Strategy for data, less attention has been given to the subsequent moment of the performance and execution of business-togovernment data sharing agreements in a transparent and accountable manner to the public that should benefit from these. Given the accountability gaps left open by both public and the data protection regulations in the context of business-to-government data sharing, the analysis focuses on the notion of corporate digital responsibility as a gap-filler between public law-based and data protection-law based accountability models. The consideration of the specific problem of businesses’ accountability in B2G data sharing enables to contextualise the debate on the possible contribution of corporations to welfare objectives in the digital economy.

The WTO’s Fisheries Subsidies Agreement: What’s New and What’s Next?
Authors: Bangura Kadijatu Zainab , Kromah Abraham Zaqi
Published: October 2022

A major factor cited for the prevalence of overfishing has been the lack of stringent national and international regulations on subsidies in the fisheries sector. Heavily subsidized large-scale fishing operators are largely responsible for overfishing and overcapacity, while the small-scale fisheriy sectors of developing and least developed countries (LDCs) are disadvantaged as a result of the trade distortive effects of subsidized fishing. For several years, efforts have been made at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to negotiate disciplines to address the trade and environmental impacts of such subsidized fishing. At the WTO’s recent 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12), WTO Members adopted the first Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies to address this issue.

It Is Not a BIT Race, It Is a BIT Marathon: Comparing Pakistan’s and India’s Evolving Approach to Investment Policy
Authors: Rangachari Rekha , Duggal† Kabir , Aslam Fatima , Wahid Adeel
Published: October 2022

India and Pakistan initiated their journeys from distinct starting points, yet have since adopted similar approaches to structuring their investment policies. These two large, developing nations differ politically, but both seek to attract foreign investment and have faced many complicated investment disputes. Because of the significant role that each of these countries play in the developing world within their respective spheres of influence, it is worth examining their experience. Indeed, India has recently terminated numerous Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) after restructuring its investment policy while Pakistan is contemplating amendments to its existing investment regime and may adopt a similar approach. Related developments on the international plane could also further support the countries’ stances on renegotiating and adopting a balanced approach to their investment policies. In the future, it would be interesting to observe whether other countries adopt similar approaches.

Blockchain and Smart Contracts and the Role of Arbitration
Authors: Wiegandt Dirk
Published: October 2022

Blockchain technology is considered one of the most disruptive technologies of our times. At the same time, by means of smart contracts stored on a blockchain, all or parts of an agreement can be executed automatically upon certain triggering events. Some consider that with smart contracts becoming more and more complete and self-executing, we will enter into an era of dispute resolution without the involvement of a neutral third party (conciliator, mediator, arbitrator) or even an entirely dispute-free environment. By contrast, it is submitted that disputes are inevitable. The question is not whether disputes arise, but which means of dispute resolution are best suited to resolve disputes arising in the context of blockchains and smart contracts. While not the only mechanism, it is submitted that arbitration is particularly well-suited for many types of disputes and, if adapted to the specific expectations and needs of (enterprise) users of blockchains and smart contracts, may play a central role in a blockchain and smart contract environment.

Heterodox Views: What Is Wrong With the WTO and How to Fix It
Authors: Appleton Arthur , Macrory Patrick
Published: October 2022

The international trade architecture is out-of-date. A consensus among Members is almost impossible to achieve. Tariffs make little sense in an era of global supply chains. The trade system ignores most important environmental, governmental, labour, and human rights challenges. Anti-globalization rhetoric is undermining the international economy and the rules-based trading system. The World Trade Organization (WTO) needs to evolve. The provocative views expressed in this article are designed to stimulate discussion and an eventual dialogue on WTO reform.

EU’s ‘Distorted Economy’ Antidumping Approach Towards China: Improvement of Legal Certainty or New Legal Distortions?: Some Overall Observations
Authors: Andersen Henrik
Published: October 2022

In 2017, the EU introduced the ‘distorted economy’ rules in EU antidumping law. The new rules target in particular China. The question is whether the new rules and their application by the Commission provide an improvement of legal certainty for Chinese exporters and EU importers compared to the old antidumping regime of non-market economy treatment of China. This article makes a comparison between the new and old rules and their application by the EU institutions. The article argues that the new rules slightly improve legal certainty but that new uncertainties emerge as well. For example, the context of international labour law and international environmental law raises new questions.

Triphenyl phosphate activates estrogen receptor α/NF-κB/ cyclin D1 signaling to stimulate cell cycle progression in human Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells
Authors: Kwon Hyun Young , Park Seung Bin , Han Myoungseok , Park Jung-Woo , Lee Yongmin , Han Sang jun , Kwon Youngmin , Cho Yeon Jean
Published: October 2022

ObjectiveTriphenyl phosphate (TPHP) is one of the most commonly used organophosphorus flame retardants that may accumulate in the environment. However, its effects on human reproductive organs have not been well studied. We aimed to investigate the in vitro effects of TPHP in human Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells to elucidate how TPHP exposure disrupts intracellular signaling and cell proliferation in reproductive tissues.MethodsHuman Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells were exposed to TPHP.ResultsExposure to TPHP elevated the levels of estrogen receptor (ER) α and progesterone receptor-B and reduced ER β in human Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells. TPHP stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B and mitogenactivated protein kinase/ extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 kinase signaling, which may contribute to the activation of ER function and induce nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) in human Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells. Activated ER and NF-κB stimulate the expression of cyclin D1/ cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/CDK6, indicating cell cycle progression and proliferation.ConclusionThis report may provide new information on the molecular mechanisms underlying how TPHP exposure dysregulates the cellular physiology of the human endometrium.

Authors: Niyangoda Nalinda , Keppetipola Manoaj , Bowatte Anil
Published: October 2022

The CPEC is a vital element of BRI. In this paper, an effort was taken to study the evolving regional and global dynamics of the CPEC and its future. China has initiated a mega project named Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) related to infrastructure development and global connectivity. Its development strategy aims to strengthen connectivity and cooperation across six major economic corridors from Singapore to Syria including commercial and cultural transmission routes of the Asian continent connecting the rest of the world. Policy coordination, connectivity of facilities, unhindered trade, people-to-people contacts, and financial integration are the important aspects of BRI. It follows the principles of globalization through international cooperation and interdependence. The goals of the BRI are to foster peace, prosperity, openness, green development, innovation, and a road that unites different civilizations. This study aimed to analyze the geopolitical, geostrategic and geo-economic significance of the BRI along with the convergences and divergences of global and regional stakeholders with a focus on socio-economic development of Pakistan under CPEC. In this study, SWOT analysis was carried out, mainly focusing on the events connected to the CPEC. This project has the potential to integrate geopolitical and geo-economic environment in Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. It is the practical manifestation of China's vision of "Peaceful Rise" and regional integration for a win-win situation for partner countries. CPEC is considered to be the “flagship project” and a game-changer for its potential to link sea and land routes. Nonetheless, this project is planned to be completed by 2030 to generate tangible outcomes.
HUMAN WELL-BEING: THE ROLE OF FAMILY INSTITUTION
Authors: Abbasi Manzoor Ahmed , Ansari Sarfraz Hussain , Islam Rafaqat
Published: October 2022

Family has been the primary institution of human societies for ages. A balanced human life without family can hardly be conceived. The family bonding has started loosening in many societies of the world, due to ultra-liberalist thoughts in the West and, in result thereof, in the rest of the world. The emerging literature indicates that exceeding number of single parents and children being born out of wedlock have badly impacted the Western and some of the Eastern societies. Furthermore, over emphasis on nuclear family system, seems to have undermined the traditional status of parents in many societies, and Pakistan is not an exception to it. Islamic family life consists of a comprehensive system of rights and duties of all members in the family. This paper posits that every citizen needs to be educated to understand the quantum of responsibilities related to family life and, thereby, the citizenship. It will not happen automatically, it would require a conscientious effort to educate each citizen to embrace the notions of Islamic family life in true spirit. Life of human beings, as per Islamic concepts, does not end up in this world; rather all revealed religions propound continuity of life even after death. This world-view implies: accepting the Divine scheme of creation of this universe and more so human beings, living in conformity to natural laws and the commandments of the Creator, fostering the fine human attributes and passions of love, mercy, kindness, justice, equity, forgiveness and generosity.  Since the family is the closest circle of relations and an institution of common socio-economic and spiritual bonding, all family members are required to give their best to make this life happy, fulfilled and contented.
REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS: EMERGING AEROSPACE COMBAT TRENDS IN SOUTH ASIA
Authors: Khan Muhammad Fahim , Hamza Ameer , Ali Sajid
Published: October 2022

Technology dictates everything in the modern world but nothing is more technical than the human mind. It always gears up to explore new dimensions of the universe. Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) is the brainchild of a critical human mind that never relies on knowledge at hand and strives for more. Aerospace potential and capabilities have become crucial to modern forces in an age of global reach and South Asia is not an exception in any sense. It is argued that RMA in South Asia is likely to be employed more in aerospace to outmanoeuvre each other (India and Pakistan) in order to carry out rapid offensive operations against the enemy. 

This paper examines the emerging trends in aerial combat and military use of space simultaneously with a focus on on-going developments in South Asia. At first, this paper explores the emergence of aerospace potential for military means among major powers during the cold war. Following emerging global aerospace trends, it focuses how it encouraged a shift in strategy and doctrines of India and Pakistan because of drastic change in weaponry and how it created more space for the aerospace domain. Moreover, this paper analyses the defensive potential of arch-rivals India and Pakistan and explores the prospects of the aerospace industry in Pakistan.
Teaching Grammar through Literature to EFL Learners: A Corpus Approach
Authors: Khan Mamona Yasmin , Rasheed Nausheen , Rasheed Shaheen
Published: October 2022

A plethora of researches have been conducted to improve the grammar teaching technique of English language in order to make it easier for the students to learn English in a fun way. To teach the grammar, the corpus approach proves to be very beneficial. The focus of this study is to explore the way how literary poems can be of great use for teaching English language to the students, by using a Simple Concordance Program Scp (4.09). For this purpose, we have selected four English poems. This is an exploratory research. This study investigates the ways in which the application of Corpus Analysis Tool on poems can assist English language teaching. Hence, it makes it easy for the students in ELT classrooms to comprehend the grammatical structures. The results illustrate that the Scp (4.09) tool helps in extracting the words with higher frequency rate but as well as in the teaching of imperative, conditional sentences, present (indefinite, continuous and perfect) and simple past tenses, as it provides the concordances of the words. Further researchers can find out the word collocations by using the same tool. Moreover, the selected poems in this study, can be analyzed through other corpus tools available. This study can also be expanded to the stylistic analysis of the poems. The literary devices used by both poets can be studied, compared and taught to the students.
Evaluation of the efficacy of several sclerosing agents for pleurodesis in rats
Authors: BALTA Cenk , KUZUCUOGLU Mustafa , ASLAN Figen , YEKDES Ali Cem
Published: October 2022

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficiencies and effects of different sclerosing agents.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-five female Wistar-albino rats were included in this study and divided into five groups randomly.
Isotonic saline (group 1), iodopovidone (group 2), rifamycin (group 3), autologous blood (group 4), talc (group 5) were given into
intrapleural space. On postoperative 28th day, ipsilateral and contralateral pleural and parenchymal fibrosis and inflammation were
evaluated.
Results: There were statistically differences between control and other groups on macroscopically pleural fibrosis examination
(p=0.004, p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.000, respectively). Microscopically pleural fibrosis were determined in all groups when compared
to control group (p=0.023, p=0.023, p=0.035, p=0.001, respectively). There were no significant differences between sclerosing agent
groups (p>0.05). Significant differences were observed according to microscopic pleural inflammation evaluation between talc group
and other groups. There was superiority in talc group according to intraparenchymal inflammation grade compared to other groups
(p=0.010, p=0.042, p=0.030, respectively). Macroscopically, fibrosis and microscopically, inflammation were significantly observed
between talc and other groups in the contralateral pleura (p = 0.037and p=0.009, respectively).
Conclusion: Iodopovidone, autologous blood, talc, and rifamycin can be used as effective pleurodesis agents. However, we found that
rifamycin and autologous blood are safer as effective pleurodesis agents. We think that these two agents can be used in patients with
secondary lung diseases due to their less intraparenchymal inflammation rates. It may be advantageous to prefer other sclerosing
agents which has lower costs and less side effects comparing to talc.

Published: October 2022

The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of hot air and infrared drying on the content of total polyphenols and anthocyanin dyes in selected types of small fruits. In the work we used chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa Michx.) variety Nero, elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) variety Haschberg, sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) variety Fanal, red currant (Ribes rubrum L.) variety Lake, black currant (Ribes nigrum L.) variety Triton, cherry elaeagnus (Elaeagnus multiflora Thunb), raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) variety Heritage and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) variety Bluecrop. Drying was performed in a Concept S1060 hot air dryer and a Yden CI IR D5 infrared dryer. The analysis of the content of anthocyanin dyes was performed by the pH differential method, the determination of the total content of polyphenols was performed by the Folin - Ciocalteu method. By analyzing fresh fruits, we found the highest content of anthocyanin dyes in the fruits of chokeberry (3036.97 mg.100 g-1 DM) and the lowest in the fruits of cherry elaeagnus (83.86 mg.100 g-1 DM). The total polyphenol content ranged from 726.07 mg GAE.100 g-1 dry matter (cherry elaeagnus) to 7895.61 mg GAE.100 g-1 DM (chokeberry). After drying in a hot air dryer, the content of anthocyanin dyes decreased by 62.20% (in elderberry) to 72.52% (in cherry elaeagnus) and the content of total polyphenols by 45.16% (in chokeberry) to 53.34% (in red currant). After drying in an infrared dryer, the decrease in the content of anthocyanin dyes was 50.41% (in elderberry) to 71.22% (in cherry elaeagnus) and total polyphenols 41.05% (in chokeberry) to 47.89% (in sour cherry).

Published: October 2022

The aim of research was to verify scientifically variability of selected parameters of hygienic quality of fresh (A), marinated (B-E) and grilled (G) poultry meat in relation to its storage conditions. Marinated meat was kept under various conditions (12 hours and 48 hours at a temperature of 0 to 4 °C and 5 to 8 °C) until it was heat-treated. Using microbiological and physico-chemical methods, poultry meat was analysed in fresh, marinated, as well as grilled state. During the experiment period, water activity, pH, salt, and fat content, but also TVC - total viable count of microorganisms, coliforms, MFF - microscopic filamentous fungi and yeast were analysed. The value of aw ranged from 0.92 (EG) to 0.99 (AG and D). The range of mean pH values ranged from 5.82 to 6.15. The salt content was lowest in fresh meat (0.16 g/100g), in samples of marinated meat it ranged from 0.38 to 0.47 g/100g. Thus, in neither case was the maximum permitted salt content (1.3 g/100g) exceeded. The difference between the lowest and the highest fat content was very observable. The lowest value of fat content 3.40 g/100g was obtained in the sample AG. On the contrary, the highest fat content (10.24 g/100g) was detected in the sample D. The average TVC value in fresh poultry meat was 4.01 log CFU/g. In marinating process, the value increased to 4.21 log CFU/g (12 hours, 0 to 4 °C) and to 4.65 log CFU/g (48 hours, 5 to 8 °C). Microorganisms were present in number of less than 1.101 CFU/g in grilled meat. The number of microscopic filamentous fungi and yeasts was low in fresh meat and marinated meat (<4.101 CFU/g). After grilling they were not detected. Coliforms indicating the cross contamination were not present in the samples. All the obtained results were statistically evaluated. The data were processed to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) in the general linear models (GLM), Scheffe’s test and Pearson correlation coefficients (rxy).

Authors: Solgajova Miriam , Drab Stefan , Mendelova Andrea , Kolesarova Anna , Marecek Jan
Published: October 2022

The suitability of a barley grain for malt production depends upon a large number of quality parameters that are crucial for the identification of high-quality malt varieties. The grain and malt technological quality parameters of five samples of four spring malting barley varieties were studied in order to estimate their malting potential. Selected barley varieties proved to be of satisfactory malting quality in terms of analyzed technological parameters. First-class grain percentage in the analyzed samples ranged from 84.9 to 94.6 %. Hectoliter weight reached values from 634.2 to 737.1 g.dm-3. Barley samples also contained a relatively high starch content of 63 to 68 %. Nitrogenous substances ranged from 9.9 to 11.3 % and all tested varieties met the requirement for nitrogen content. These samples were micro-malted and resulting malt was analyzed. All tested malt samples achieved high and satisfactory extract content of 82.4 - 84.3 %. Statistically significant (p<0.05) the highest extract content was confirmed in variety LG Tosca (84.3 %) which was found to be relatively the best technological quality also for its kernel size and optimal starch and protein content. The average value of friability was 98 %. The intensity of proteolytic modification among varieties was satisfactory (Kolbach index 39.18 - 47.17 %). The viscosity of the wort reached values from 1.41 to 1.47 mPa.s-1, varieties provided clear wort in all cases. Based on the results of grain and malt quality parameters it can be concluded that all tested spring barley varieties are suitable for malting process.

The meat industry in recent years leaning towards the replacement of synthetic antioxidants, such as BHT, for natural, mostly plant-based alternatives.  For such purpose, polyphenol-rich plant species are selected and researched. Amelanchier (Amelanchier alnifolia) fruit seems to be an interesting option for adding to meat products to increase oxidative stability. In our study, we incorporate 3 and 5 ml of Amelanchier extract into pork sausage and observed changes in pH, color, sensory, and oxidative stability for 21 days period of vacuum storage. During storage period we measured pH values, color (expressed as cieLab coordinates), malondialdehyde concentration. Also, sensory evaluation was conducted. We compared those experimental meat products with sausages without any antioxidant and commercially used synthetic vitamin C. In our study we did not observe negative effects of Amelanchier extract addition compared to control groups in terms of pH, color and sensory properties. Regarding oxidative stability, Amelanchier extract was able to retard oxidation processes at comparable rate as vitamin C. Amelanchier therefore shows promising possibilities for food industry. However, further study of this natural resource is still needed.

Published: October 2022

Kindergarten teachers use art-based activities and practices because they are useful and functional in learning processes and they help learning in other subject areas. While teachers allocate great deal of classroom time for art practices, an art curriculum is not required or enforced at kindergarten level. The objective of this study was to examine kindergarten curriculum, and to clarify at what extent curriculum objectives and learning outcomes met art education learning outcomes specified for elementary level art education state standards. Document content analysis and descriptive survey questionnaire were used to collect information. Content analysis method was also employed to examine classroom applications and practices. Kindergarten curriculum and visual arts curriculum were also compared and analyzed in relation to teacher responses. The study clarified a need for an art integrated approach to kindergarten. Kindergarten activities majorly consist of art-based practices, therefore kindergarten curricula should be designed based on an art-based comprehensive understanding of educational interventions.

The Empowerment of Women in Tamil Nadu: A Multi-Dimensional Approach
Authors: C Vijayachandrika
Published: October 2022

The advancement of women's political, social, economic, and health status, together with their increased autonomy and empowerment, is a very significant goal in and of itself. Furthermore, achieving sustainable growth depends on it. Every aspect of productive and reproductive life, including shared responsibility for the upkeep of the home and the care and rearing of children, requires the full participation and partnership of both men and women. Because of their excessive workloads, lack of authority, and influence, women over the world are threatened with losing their lives, their health, and their general well-being. Women typically obtain less formal education than men around the world, yet at the same time, their own skills, knowledge, and coping techniques are frequently undervalued. Power dynamics that prevent women from leading healthy and satisfying lives exist at all societal levels, from the most intimate to the most visible. To effect change, policy and programme actions are required that will increase women's access to stable employment and financial resources, lessen their heavy domestic burdens, remove any legal barriers to their participation in public life, and increase social awareness through efficient education and mass communication campaigns. The position of women also affects their ability to make decisions at all levels and in all areas of life, particularly in relation to sexuality and reproduction. To ensure the long-term effectiveness of population programmes, this is also crucial. Experience has shown that initiatives aimed at advancing women's position have the greatest impact on population and development programmes.

A gestão democrática das cidades: perspectivas e desafios da realidade brasileira
Authors: Silva Jailce Campos e , Rodrigues Lucas Rego Silva
Published: October 2022

O Estatuto da Cidade preconiza que a gestão democrática da cidade, por meio dos instrumentos de participação popular, é uma forma de a população exercer a sua cidadania e viver e conviver em uma sociedade mais justa. Este trabalho objetivou identificar e analisar as perspectivas e desafios entre o potencial emancipatório da gestão democrática das cidades prevista no Estatuto da Cidade e o processo de urbanização excludente que caracteriza boa parte dos grandes centros urbanos brasileiros, cuja dinâmica urbana caótica é controlada pelos interesses do capital imobiliário que se mobiliza para enfraquecer ou controlar a participação política da sociedade na tomada de decisões relevantes do poder político na cidade, contrariando a proposta da Constituição Federal e do Estatuto da Cidade ao estabelecer o paradigma da gestão democrática das cidades.

Tem como objetivo analisar os processos de reintegração de posse promovidos pela Prefeitura de Ribeirão Preto. Como objetivos secundários, mapeamos os terrenos objetos das lides e verificamos a quantidade de processos promovidos nos últimos 10 anos. Confrontamos os dados empíricos de localização dos terrenos objetos de reintegrações de posse e da quantidade de reintegrações de posse nos últimos 10 anos com categorias teóricas, em especial de David Harvey, sobre os processos de acumulação de capital através do empreendedorismo urbano. Percebemos que dois locais são os principais focos dos processos, ambos próximos a projetos urbanos, sendo possíveis focos de investimentos. Concluímos que a situação das ocupações urbanas permeiam a fronteira da legalidade, de acordo com os interesses da Prefeitura.
