Identity, Power, and Dignity: A Positional Analysis of Gisela in Her High School Mathematics Classroom
Authors: Gargroetzi Emma C.
Published: May 2024

Multiply minoritized learners face racialized, gendered, and ableist hierarchies of mathematical ability that shape the organization of schools and classrooms and can significantly challenge access to identities as mathematical learners and practitioners as well as to fundamental human dignity. Classrooms and everyday interactions can perpetuate or interrupt these conditions. Contributing to questions about the relationships among identity, power, and dignity in mathematics learning, this article presents a positional interaction analysis of Gisela, a Disabled 10th-grade Latina student, as she took up, challenged, and renegotiated identities of mathematical thinker, learner, and community member over the course of one school year.

A jogállamfogalom német felfogása
Authors: Stefánia Bódi
Published: May 2024

Ebben a cikkben a jogállam fogalmát a témakörrel foglalkozó német szerzők gondolatain keresztül szeretném bemutatni. Ismeretes a jogállam angolszász, német és francia megközelítése. A jogállam eszme legismertebb német kutatói Robert von Mohl és Carl Theodor Welcker jogtudósok voltak, de szót ejtünk a jogállam paradigma kapcsán Kant, Fichte és Humboldt nézeteiről is. Természetesen a jogállam fogalom lényege minden demokratikus gondolkodó esetében ugyanazt jelenti, egy emberi humánumot szolgáló, jogszabályokon alapuló demokratikus hatalomgyakorlást, melyben érvényesülnek a legalapvetőbb államszervezési elvek, alkotmányos értékek és maradéktalanul érvényesülnek az emberi jogok.
Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Yemeni Patients: Prevalence, Phenotypes, and Resistance Profile to Last-Resort Antibiotics
Authors: Humaid Abdulrahman A. , Al-maqtari Maher Ali , Alzomor Abdulkarim Kassem , Thabit Anes A.M.
Published: May 2024

The spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp), which is one of the top pathogens in the WHO list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, is a true threat to human life. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, carbapenemase phenotypes, and resistance to last-resort antibiotics of CRKp isolated from clinical specimens of inpatients and outpatients in 3 health-service facilities in Sana‘a-Yemen between December 2020 and November 2022. The carbapenemases produced by these isolates were phenotyped by mCIM and eCIM, and the susceptibility of the isolates to last-resort antibiotics was determined using the disk diffusion method. A total of 140 CRKp isolates were recovered in this study, mostly from urine specimens (35 %), from inpatients hospitalized in the gynecology ward (30%) and intensive care units (22.9 %). Differences in CRKp prevalence were insignificant between females and males and between age ranges but significant between urban and rural residents. Moreover, 75.7% of CRKp isolates were producers of metallo-β-lactamases and 81.4, 78.6 %, 17.1%, 15.7 %, and 7.1% of these isolates were resistant to aztreonam, ceftazidime+ avibactam, colistin, fosfomycin, and tigecycline, respectively. In conclusion, there is a considerable prevalence of CRKp isolates among Yemeni patients. These isolates are mostly metallo β-lactamase producers and have remarkable resistance to most lastresort antibiotics. Accordingly, there is a need to establish and employ urgent control and prevention measures to diminish the spread of CRKp and limit its emergent resistance to last-resort antibiotics in our community.

Authors: Aziz Shadha Nasser , A.M. Abdulwahab  , Thana Shuga Aldeen
Published: May 2024

The main goals of this study are to synthesize a mixed metal oxide nanocomposite (NC), CdO-CuO-Co3O4, and to analyze its structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and DC electrical resistivity. According to the XRD analysis, CuO nanoparticles (NPs) have a monoclinic structure, while CdO and Co3O4 (NPs) have cubic structures. The TEM images revealed a decrease in the particle size of CdO-CuO-Co3O4 (NC) compared with that of the NPs. The optical properties of CdO-CuO- Co3O4 (NC) were examined using a DRS in the wavelength range of 400-700 nm. The DC electrical resistivity results showed the semiconducting electrical behaviors of the samples.
Propagation intensity and phase distribution of a Partially Coherent Lorentz–Gauss Vortex Beam in a Gradient-Index Medium
Authors: Qusailah Mohammed S. , Alkelly Abdu A. , Al-Bahry Wafa’a A.
Published: May 2024

The study focused on examining the characteristics of partially coherent Lorentz-Gauss vortex beams in a medium featuring a gradient refractive index. The study employed the ABCD matrix, deriving analytical expressions for the cross-spectral density function based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the relationship between the Hermitian Gaussian function and Lorentz distribution. The findings revealed that the topological charge, coherence length, and gradient refractive index coefficient are pivotal factors influencing the beam’s behaviour in the medium. An increase in topological charge led to an expansion of the dark spot in intensity, while the gradient refractive index plays a crucial role in altering the size and shape of the intensity periodically in the medium and does not affect the dark spot in the middle of the beam. The findings from this study hold potential for applications in remote sensing and optical communications, making them valuable for further research endeavors.
Applying House’s Translation Quality Assessment Model (2015) on Quranic Narratives
Authors: Khoshafah Hakima Mansour Ahmed
Published: May 2024

This study is an attempt to evaluate and assess the quality of the translation of the Quranic narrative of the Yunus into English, by Marmaduke Pickthall in his work The Meaning of the Glorious Quran (1930), in light of House’s model. The analysis covers the story of Yunus, the source and target texts comparing the source text’s profile and target text’s profile at the register level i.e. (field, tenor, and mode) suggested by House’s 2015 model. The analysis of the source text and target text has revealed that there are differences lexically and syntactically but there is a great effort to maintain the poetic and literary qualities of the original Arabic language. The statement of quality at the end states no translation can fully capture the depth and richness of the Quran.

Causes and Impacts of Water Pollution on Various water bodies in the State of Rajasthan, India: A Review
Authors: Kumar Mahesh , Mishra G. V.
Published: May 2024

Water quality and water resources make an impression on the social, economic and political advancement of society. With the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization linked with economic and social needs, the pollution of water has reached a level of no return. Water is defined as harmful for human and aquatic lives when it is become contaminated by unexpected substances such as heavy metals, agricultural and industrial chemicals, hydrocarbon fuels, radioactive materials, sewage, pharmaceutical drugs, and biologic agents such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. This water is considered polluted or contaminated (Bagul et al. 2015), The problem of water pollution becomes more hazardous in a region where availability of water is critically less like the state of Rajasthan (Coyte et al. 2019). The situation of surface water pollution in arid and semi-arid areas of state is alarming. We know that every living being needs water for their survival. All living being intake water directly or indirectly from various water resources. Intake of polluted water would be harmful for them. Transport of bio-accumulative pollutants to food chain makes the situation more grievous. So, it is the need of the hour to examine the magnitude and range of water pollution in the water bodies, especially in the state like Rajasthan. In the present scenario we can’t prevent water to being polluted totally but the scaling down of pollution is imperative. It is high time to take some steps to educate and spread awareness to the people regarding this alarming issue.
Mímesis dialéctica. Sobre un concepto básico en Adorno
Authors: Jarque Soriano Vicente
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This text goes as a reflection on the uses of the concept of mimesis as the core of Adorno’s thought. It starts with the proposals of the Dialectic of the Enlightenment, and then refers them to the way in which they reappear in the Aesthetic Theory, distinguishing the role of mimesis in he process of the production of the work and in that of its reception, both in art as in mass culture. Finally, it points to the possibility of enriching the concept by connecting it with Benjamin.
Adorno, mimesis, reception, culture industry, Benjamin.

Resumen
El texto se presenta como una reflexión en torno a los usos del concepto de mímesis como núcleo del pensamiento de Adorno. Se parte de los planteamientos de la Dialéctica de la Ilustración, para luego remitirlos a la manera en que reaparecen en la Teoría estética, distinguiendo el papel de la mímesis en el proceso de la producción de la obra y en el de su recepción, tanto en el arte como en la cultura de masas. Finalmente, se apunta a la posibilidad de enriquecer el concepto conectándolo con Benjamin.

El xeroderma pigmentoso es un trastorno cutáneo hereditario poco común que se transmite de forma cromosómica recesiva con un diagnóstico clínico importante y un pronóstico nefasto. Se ve afectado por defectos moleculares intrínsecos en la reparación del ADN celular y se ve alterado por la exposición a la luz, lo que lleva a la acumulación de foto productos cancerígenos y a la inhibición de genes supresores del crecimiento tumoral. Las manifestaciones degenerativas de la piel, los ojos y el sistema nervioso son evidentes desde la primera infancia. Este es un desafío terapéutico y la participación médica multidisciplinaria es esencial. Caso: Se trata de un paciente de 93 años de edad que ingresa por presentar desde la edad de 20 años máculas hipo e hipercrómicas localizadas de manera difusa en todo el cuerpo, en especial en la cara, tórax y miembros superiores Estas se complican 20 años más tarde con la aparición de úlceras recurrentes en labios, nariz; acompañadas de pérdida progresiva de las pestañas asociadas a xeroftalmia y xerostomía. Hace 5 años se presentan lesiones de aspecto tumoral ulcerativas y supurativas que comprometen todo el labio inferior, y otra en la mejilla derecha. El estudio histopatológico de una de las lesiones tumorales denuncio carcinoma epidermoide). Se puede evidenciar ectropión de ambos párpados con resequedad de la mucosa conjuntival por la xeroftalmia, que contrasta con múltiples pecas de pigmentación melánica de diferentes formas entremezcladas con máculas hipocrómicas y telangiectasias que brindan al paciente un aspecto monstruoso.

The Mediating Role of Social Media on the Correlation of Parental conflict and academic Performance of University Students
Authors: gul Hina , Zia Muhammad Ali , Rasheed Abdul
Published: May 2024

Social media encompasses discussion boards, publishing platforms, and social network sites. Facebook, YouTube, blogs, discussion forums, and other internet-based apps are a few examples of social media. The primary aim of this research was to investigate the influence of social media usage among university students on both their academic performance and parental conflict. Secondly to investigate any potential mechanisms that may underlie this link. Numerous researches have looked at the detrimental effects of conflict between parents on children's academic performance, which suggests that social media may play a mediating role in the relationship between parental conflict and university students' academic success. Quantitative research approach was used. To gather the data, the target population was 100 students of Thal University in Bhakkar. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. Data collection tool was a questionnaire which has close ended questions. The findings suggest that students' engagement with social media has become ingrained in their daily routines, consuming a significant portion of their leisure time. The extensive time spent on social media by respondents underscored its negative impact on their academic performance. The array of both advantageous and detrimental factors affecting the intellectual and spiritual growth of the younger generation has greatly expanded with the advent of mobile phones and other computer technologies.
Climate Impacts of Plastics: Global Actions to Stem Climate Change and End Plastic Pollution
Authors: Rucevska Ieva , Skripnikova Natalia , Thomassen Carina , Husabø Eirin , Berglihn Elisabeth , Raubenheimer Karen , Urho Niko
Published: May 2024

Science provides convincing evidence that greenhouse gas emissions generated across the plastics life cycle are estimated to be between 3.8 and 4.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. This is set to grow with a projected increase in primary plastic production. This report presents the synthesis of an extensive literature review of the plastics life cycle. It analyses the countries’ submissions to the UNFCCC, the Paris Agreement, and the Intergovernmental Committee on plastic pollution. It also suggests measures that co-benefit addressing plastic pollution and achieving the global climate goals. This report reveals critical gaps in the current reporting practice for accounting plastics impacts on climate under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement and points out the role of the international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, (the instrument) in stemming climate change. The report argues that the development and the implementation of the plastics instrument provides a unique opportunity to strengthen global efforts in addressing climate change across the plastics life cycle, complementing the broader decarbonisation activities of the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. To combat climate change alongside the plastics life cycle, the primary focus must be on reducing the production of plastics and focusing on low-carbon design as well as improving waste management and remediation. Additionally, the report draws attention to the lack of internationally agreed definitions used for the assessment of the impacts of plastics on climate, which would guide research, national reporting, and policy interventions in the future.

This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach and uses data collection techniques in the form of interviews. The results of the interviews suggested that during the pandemic, people who work as entrepreneurs experienced a decrease in income due to decreased consumer buying interest during the pandemic and some private employees at industrial factories experienced layoffs due to the work from home policy which made them lose income. The significant decline in income during the pandemic has an impact on PPR installment payments, resulting in delays to delinquent payments. To overcome the problem of PPR installment financing, the Wirogunan Residence community takes several actions by looking for additional income such as opening a business that is still needed during the pandemic, making loans to relatives or closest relatives to applying for financing restructuring at the bank.

Published: May 2024

Quelles leçons allons-nous tirer de plus de deux années de crise épidémique de COVID-19 dans l’océan Indien, à La Réunion, à Madagascar, aux Comores et à Mayotte, mais aussi dans d’autres collectivités d’outre-mer et dans l’hexagone ? La crise épidémique de COVID-19 n’est pas qu’une crise sanitaire. Les travaux de l’OPPEE (Observatoire des politiques publiques en situation épidémique et post épidémique, créé en juillet 2020 à l’Université de Bordeaux), montrent comment les disciplines rassemblées autour de cet objectif commun entrent en résonance les unes avec les autres. Il s’agit de décrire, d’analyser, de comprendre les effets de cette crise, sur les sociétés, dans leur grande diversité culturelle, économique, social. L’océan Indien nous offre ici des exemples de gestion de la crise épidémique très significatifs de cette pluralité de situations. L’approche pluridisciplinaire mobilisée lors du colloque du 6 juin 2023 à Saint-Denis nous permet de mesurer plusieurs de ces effets que l’on aborde ici du point de vue juridique (Régions ultrapériphériques, Union européenne, statut du corps humain), politique (campagnes des municipales de 2020 à La Réunion, Covid-Organics à Madagascar), culturel (masques et chansons, médecine traditionnelle), médical et social (conditions de vie, précarité, soutien à la parentalité, travail social, activité physique adaptée), Cet ouvrage entend également ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives de recherche dans la période de « l’après covid », tout en formulant de nombreuses réflexions sur la prise en charge des publics en difficulté du point de vue de la santé publique et du développement social.

Published: May 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy and short-term psychodynamic therapy on sexual dysfunction and the quality of sexual life in women attending counseling and psychotherapy centers in Isfahan. Methods: The research design was a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The population included all women in Isfahan province suffering from sexual dysfunction in 2023. Sixty individuals were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned into three groups: twenty in the first experimental group, twenty in the second experimental group, and twenty in the control group. The first experimental group underwent emotion-focused psychological intervention based on the therapeutic protocol by Gilbert (2014) in fifteen 60-minute sessions, and the second experimental group received short-term psychodynamic psychological intervention based on the therapeutic protocol (Davanloo, 2013) in twelve 60-minute sessions held weekly, followed by a one-month follow-up. The control group was placed on a two-month waiting list for the most effective intervention. Data collection for analysis was conducted using the Rosen et al. (2000) Women's Sexual Dysfunction Questionnaire and the Simonds et al. (2005) Women's Sexual Life Quality Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using mixed ANOVA with SPSS version 25. Findings: The findings indicated that both treatments were effective in reducing sexual dysfunction in women (F = 73.08, p < .001) and improving the quality of sexual life (F = 18.02, p < .001). However, there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of the two therapeutic methods in reducing sexual dysfunction and increasing the quality of sexual life in women (p < .001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that both emotion-focused and short-term psychodynamic therapies are effective in reducing sexual dysfunction and improving the quality of sexual life in women. Both treatments can be used to reduce psychological issues in women attending counseling centers.

Objective: This study aimed to present a structural model of the quality of life for the elderly based on self-care with the mediating role of social support. Methods: The research employed a correlational design using structural equation modeling. The study population consisted of individuals aged 60 to 75 years living in urban homes in Tehran, with 314 participants selected as the research sample. The data collection tools included the Iranian version of the Phillips Social Support Questionnaire (1986), the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (1989), and the Elderly Self-care Questionnaire by Younesi et al. (2020). The statistical technique used was a full latent variable structural equation model, and the data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, AMOS version 24, and R software version 4.3.1. Examination of the model fit indices indicated that the model overall is in excellent condition for explaining and fitting the data. Findings: The results showed that both social support and self-care have a significant positive effect on the quality of life variable for the elderly. Moreover, the self-care variable also has a significant positive impact on the social support variable at a 95% confidence level. Additionally, the self-care variable significantly affects the quality of life of the elderly through the mediating variable of social support. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, the mediating role of social support can play a significant role in examining changes in the quality of life of the elderly. It is recommended that the importance of social support be emphasized and taught in elderly care centers and other counseling and guidance centers.

Published: May 2024

Six alkaloid compounds were isolated (the discovery of a natural drug, which is a combination of the six alkaloid compounds). Alkaloids viz., 1,3,5-Triazine-2-carboxylic acid, 4-amino-6-methyl; 1,2,4-Triazino[5,6-E][1,2,4]-triazine-3,6-dione, hexahydro; 2-(4,5-Dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4-pyrazole)-5-nitrobenzoic acid; 4-metyl-3,4-dihydro-[1,2,3] trizolo [4,5-d] pyrimidine-5,7-dione; Propanoic acid-3-(perhydro-2,5-dioxo-imidazol [4,5-d] imidazole-1-yl) and 1,2,3-Triazolo[4,5-f] benzotriazole- 4,8(4H,8H)-dione, were isolated from Cinnamomum verum cortexes by using ethanolic acetic acid, sulphuric acid, and ammonia solvents, and they were characterized by using preliminary qualitative tests, gas chromatography-mass spectrumGC-MASS. The medicinal efficacy was studied for these six alkaloidic compounds theoretically by using the Autodock program and the results showed the presence of high efficacy of the compounds. Then the medicinal efficacy was measured biologically for the six compounds mixture in vitro depending on the synergistic interaction principle by using various concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 mg/ml) by using of agar diffusion technique. The results showed that the six alkaloidic compounds’ mixture is biologically active against Alternaria alternate fungus, where the inhibition zone diameters were recorded equal to 27, 33, 41, 45, and 49 mm respectively towards the pathogenic fungus. Also, cytotoxicity tests for the different concentrations of six active alkaloid compounds mixture proved there is no toxic effect belonging to them towards red blood cells, and no hemolysis effect appeared in blood cells. Therefore, six alkaloid compounds isolated from Cinnamomum verum cortexes can be used as active drugs for the treatment of various diseases especially those caused by pathogenic fungi represented by Alternaria alternate, without any side effects.

Thalassemia is a chronic, life-threatening genetic blood disorder that has numerous socio-economic and health impacts on patients, caregivers and families globally. The issue of thalassemia is rapidly increasing among infants and children, and a large proportion of the affected population is living in developing countries like Pakistan. The patients suffering from the chronic issue bear symptoms such as pale skin, weakness, shortness of breath and jaundice. Thalassemia has severe complications with long-lasting consequences on the patients as well as their caregivers. Limited health care services, lack of social support, misconceptions about the condition, the stigma and discrimination within their families and communities can lead to disruption of their physical, cognitive, social and economic conditions. Several coping mechanisms are applied to deal with discomfort that could manage stress-related demands that arise due to environmental transactions that eventually exceed personal resources. The present study examined the psycho-social challenges faced by caregivers of thalassemia patients and identified the coping strategies employed by these caregivers in Gujrat city. Researchers used the purposive sampling technique for this quantitative study to collect primary data through a structured questionnaire. The findings highlighted that the caregivers of thalassemia patients face various psychological challenges such as depression, fear of losing a loved one life, and feelings of isolation. This can negatively impact the overall well-being of the caregiver. Additionally, they face social challenges, including social stigma and limitations in maintaining social connections.
