Vida nossa ou vida da gente: um estudo variacionista dos pronomes possessivos de 1.ª pessoa do plural
Authors: Alves de Araújo Aluiza , Alexandre Ferreira Sara , Pereira da Silva Francisco de Assis
Published: July 2023

Tendo por base os pressupostos teóricos da Sociolinguística Variacionista, o presente artigo objetiva investigar a variação entre os pronomes possessivos de primeira pessoa do plural nosso/a(-s) e a forma inovadora da gente na fala culta fortalezense. Para tanto, utilizamos a amostra do projeto Descrição do Português Oral Culto de Fortaleza - PORCUFORT - FASE II, constituída por 36 informantes retirados do tipo de inquérito Diálogo entre Dois Informantes (D2). Os resultados evidenciam que a variação das formas da gente e nosso/a(-s) favorecem o uso da variante conservadora, sendo a mais utilizada na comunidade de fala estudada. Embora a variante inovadora tenha se mostrado influenciada pelos fatores linguísticos tamanho do grupo e tipo de posse, concluímos que a forma da gente ainda apresenta contextos de restrição de ocorrência, e, portanto, inferimos que a mudança no paradigma pronominal possessivo na comunidade analisada ainda está bem distante de ser implementada.

Соотношение правового статуса индивидуального предпринимателя и плательщика налога на профессиональный доход
Authors: Репях А.С.
Published: July 2023

На сегодняшний день в экономическом и правовом поле нашего государства существует множество сложностей, связанных с развитием не зарегистрированной деятельности и неформальной занятости населения, что существенно отражается на сфере налогообложения. В связи с появлением в современном обществе такой категории граждан как самозанятые, которые являются плательщиками налога на профессиональный доход, а также их ростом в сфере товаров, работ и услуг, в настоящее время особо актуальным является вопрос определения правового статуса самозанятых граждан. В юридической литературе многие авторы рассматривают правовое положение самозанятых лиц через призму такой категории граждан, как индивидуальный предприниматель, однако смешивать эти две категории граждан представляется нецелесообразным. В настоящей статье автором рассмотрены основные аспекты соотношения правового статуса индивидуального предпринимателя и плательщика налога на профессиональный доход, проанализированы особенности регистрации в качестве индивидуального предпринимателя и самозанятого, выявлены законодательные пробелы, а также предложены пути их решения.

Authors: Khosravi Vahid , Rokhforouz Fatema , Mazloomy- Mahmood abad Seyed Saeed , Rastjoo Saeide
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Preventive behaviors are among the most important strategies to fight against COVID-19. The level of awareness, attitude and performance of people towards COVID-19 is of great importance in accepting or doubting to receive the vaccine. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the role of awareness, attitude and performance of COVID-19 regarding the acceptance of the vaccine among university students in Yazd.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study based on the web. The studied population included university students in Yazd city. 392 students were selected by available sampling method. The questionnaires were completed online. To collect data, a standard questionnaire of awareness, attitude, performance, and acceptance of the vaccine was used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis through SPSS 20 software.
Results: The results showed that the level of awareness, attitude and performance of female students was significantly higher than male students (p<0/05). The vaccine's acceptance level had no significant relationship with demographic characteristics. Also, the average score of awareness, attitude and performance of students who accepted the vaccine was higher than the students who did not believe in the vaccine; but, this result was not statistically significant (p<0/05).
Conclusion: Considering the important role of people's awareness, attitude and performance towards COVID-19 in disease prevention, it seems that other factors such as the benefits and risks of the vaccine and the level of people's trust in the government and their country had an effect on the acceptance of the vaccine.

Authors: AK İlyas , ÖZTUNÇ Hüseyin Baha
Published: July 2023

Osmanlı Devleti’nin son dönemine Batılılaşma politikası damgasını vurdu. Bâbıâli, Tanzimat Fermanı ile Batı’ya yöneldikten sonra kulüp, birahane, tiyatro, müzik toplulukları ve balo gibi Avrupa örneği zevk ve eğlenceler yaygınlaşmaya başladı. Galata, Pera ve Beyoğlu’nda yaşayan yabancılar, Türklerin bu eğlence kültürüne adapte sürecini hızlandırdı. Batılılaşmayı sağlama adına Osmanlı seçkini de Batı kültür formları arasında yer alan görgü kurallarından ev içi düzenlemelere ve hatta baloda nasıl dans edileceğine kadar toplumsal değişimi amaçlayan yazılar kaleme aldı. Modernleşmek isteyen Osmanlı aydını gözünden Avrupa, uygarlığın zirvesinde görülüyordu. Batı’dan ülkemize elçilikler vasıtasıyla aktarılan balo ise hem eğlence hem de diplomatik amaçlarla düzenleniyordu. Osmanlı bürokrasisi ve aydın kesim ise balo kültürüne oldukça uzaktı. Bu durumun farkında olan Osmanlı seçkini ise “balonun adabımuaşereti nedir?” “Nasıl dans edilmeli?” “Baloda kadınlara nasıl davranılmalı?” gibi temel soruları eserlerine taşıyarak, seçkin kesimi balo konusunda eğitmek istiyordu. Bu sorular ile Osmanlı Devleti’nde ilk balo, balonun adabımuaşereti hakkında yazılanlar ve İstanbul’da yabancı elçiler tarafından düzenlenen baloların amacı bu araştırmanın temelini oluşturdu. Bu çalışma, 19. yüzyılda neşredilen ve balo adabımuaşereti hakkında bilgi veren eserler ile Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi’ndeki belgelere dayanmaktadır. Osmanlı son döneminde yazılan eserlerden faydalanmak suretiyle, balo adabımuaşeretinin nasıl olması gerektiği aktarılmaya çalışılacaktır. Diğer yandan da Osmanlı Devleti’nde ilk baloyu düzenleyen ve Türk gençlerinin de ilk danslarını elçilik salonlarında denemelerini sağlayan sefirlerin düzenledikleri baloların mahiyeti, arşiv belgeleri ışığında ortaya konulmaya çalışıldı.

Published: July 2023

Osmanlı Devleti ile Venedik Cumhuriyeti arasındaki son savaşlar 1715-1718 yılları arasında gerçekleşmiştir. Bu süreçte tarafların ekonomik ilişkileri kesintiye uğramıştır. Savaş dönemlerinde ticari ilişkilerin kesilmesi olağan bir durum olsa da 1718 Pasarofça Antlaşması’na kadar devam eden Osmanlı-Venedik ekonomik ilişkilerindeki durgunluk, Osmanlı Devleti’nin Venedik mallarına getirdiği ithalat yasağından kaynaklanmaktadır. Osmanlı Devleti, rakibini ekonomik yaptırımlarla yıpratmak için 1715 yılının sonunda bütün Venedik mallarının ülkeye girişini yasaklamıştır. Bununla birlikte yasağın tek muhatabı Venedik değildir. Osmanlı coğrafyasında Venedik malları ile ticaret yapan bütün müstemen tüccar, bu ticaretten men edilmiştir. İngiltere ve Hollanda elçilerinin tepkileri ve süre talepleri üzerine, tüccarlara ellerindeki Venedik mallarını çıkarıncaya kadar 6-7 aylık süre tanınmıştır. Yasak duyurulduktan sonra yeni mal girişine izin verilmediği gibi Avrupalı devletlerin gümrük muamelelerinde küçük değişiklikler yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, 1715’te Venedik mallarına getirilen ticaret yasağının amaçları, kapsamı ve sonuçları incelenecek; ulaşılabilen bazı gümrük kayıtlarından istifadeyle 1715 öncesinde Venedik’ten ithal edilen her çeşit emtia ortaya konacaktır.

Authors:   Dept of Clinical Research, Amity University Haryana, Bisht Ayushi
Published: July 2023

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic or acquired disorder in which balloon-like structures called cysts which are filled with fluid are formed inside the kidneys. The most common type of PKD is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The major cause of ADPKD are found to be abnormalities in the genes, and these abnormalities are inherited within generations. Genetic mutations such as spontaneous mutations are observed in some cases of ADPKD. Other causes of ADPKD can be hypertension and proteinuria. ADPKD develops due to mutations in the genes PKD1 or PKD2. It is found that 85% of the ADPKD patients have mutated PKD1 and 15% of the ADPKD patients have mutated PKD2. It is the 4th common cause which results in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Different researches and studies are undergoing to find novel treatments for the diseases. There is a need to have a clear understanding of molecular and genetic pathogenesis of ADPKD to help build novel therapies. After the approval of Tolvaptan, an V2R antagonist, slow growth of cyst and less chances of kidney failure were observed in ADPKD patients. Some other therapies like mTOR pathways inhibitors, somatostatin therapies also help in halting the progression of disease. Complementary therapies such as ayurveda and homeopathy, yoga, acupuncture which can help prevent the progression and symptoms of ADPKD. More and more advancement of technologies, stem cell and nanoscience have emerged in finding solutions for renal replacement therapies and restoration of renal function. Keywords: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), complementary therapies, stem cell and nanoscience.

South African consumers’ knowledge of genetically modified (GM) food products and influences that affect the purchasing decision of GM foods
Authors:   University of South Africa, Van Zuydam SC , Kempen EL , Truter L
Published: July 2023

Prevailing food insecurity has necessitated the leveraging of alternative food products if the Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2), referring to zero hunger for the worldwide population, is to be achieved. Although the production of genetically modified (GM) plant-based crops has been adopted in South Africa (SA), and available for human consumption, a dearth of research exists in respect of SA consumers’ knowledge of, and the influences that affect the purchase of GM food products. An exploratory survey study design included 326 consumers, purposefully selected through snowball sampling from Mooi river, in KwaZulu-Natal province, SA. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to identify underlying drivers for the knowledge and influences on the purchase decisions of GM food products. It was found that although respondents were aware of GM food products and understood the meaning of “genetically modified”, they lacked general knowledge about GM food products, reflected in the minimal scope of their knowledge and uncertainty of GM components present in food products as identified through an EFA. Consideration for purchasing would include the potential to increase food supplies, the reduced usage of pesticides, carcinogenic effects, allergenicity, harmful effect on the environment, longer shelf life and the unnatural development of GM food products. Through EFA, consumption and production implications, consumer advantages, product identification elements, and agricultural pesticide practices were underlying drivers of the influencers of consumers’ GM food product purchasing decisions. Food insecurity could persist if GM consumer education is not re-introduced in SA to address consumer apathy and sense of disengagement towards GM food products. This is attributed to the limited consumer knowledge about GM food products. This study has contributed towards a better understanding of the current consumer perspective on GM food products and what it will take to turn the GM food product aversion into informed consumer decisions and practices. Future research in SA is needed to determine the demographic profile of consumers and how that will influence GM food product purchases in the wake of addressing food security.

Solanum incanum L. is a plant that belongs to the Solanaceae family, growing in tropical climates all over the world. Despite the extensive use of the root and fruit sap extract of S. incanum in the agricultural and ethnopharmaceutical industries in Africa, there is minimal scientific documentation regarding its pesticide bioactive phytochemicals and efficacy. The study investigated the photochemical content (phenolics, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids and alkaloids) of the methanol, ethyl acetate and hexane crude extracts of the root and fruit of S. incanum. The potential radical scavenging, (antioxidant), cytotoxicity, and efficacy activities of all crude extracts were examined using the 1, 1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), propidium iodide (PI) and aphid leaf dip (ALD) assays respectively. The total phenolic, alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoid and saponin content were highest in the methanol fruit (MFE), (3.49 ± 1.16 mg GAE/100 mg), steroidal fruit (SAE), (0.14±0.06 mg ATP/100 mg, hexane fruit (HFE), 3.62±1.23 mg QCT/100 mg, hexane root (Hroot), (1.19±0.47 mg LIN/100 mg and saponin (3.74±1.17 mg/100 mg). The aqueous extract of the ethyl acetate fruit had the highest antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 35.53±0.53 μg·mL-1 (p < 0.05) The methanol fruit and steroidal alkaloid extracts exhibited potent cytotoxicity against Vero cells demonstrating the highest cell mortality rate of 98% and 70% respectively at 100 μg·mL-1. Melphalan which was used as a positive control had a mortality rate of 75% cell at 100 μg/mL concentration. The methanol fruit extract exhibited the highest efficacy against the cabbage aphids with an LD50 of 13.16±3.78 μg·mL-1 (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the fruit and root of S. incanum have a variety of phytochemicals that may be considered for use as antioxidants and/or pesticides. By exhibiting the most potent cytotoxic activity against Vero cells, S. incanum roots have the greatest potential for the discovery of cytotoxic compounds necessary to develop anticancer drugs. The extracts with high potent efficacy against cabbage aphids need to be investigated further as pesticides to benefit the disadvantaged communities in the Southern African region. Key words: Antioxidant, cytotoxicity, lethal dose, mortality rate, phytochemicals, quantitative analysis

Published: July 2023

Synchronization of estrus involves handling the estrus cycle so that a large number of cows can be bred at approximately the same time. Proper cow/heifer selection as well as efficient coordination are all key elements for the success of synchronization programs which were lacking in the study area. The study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the effect of Alfaglandin C and fixed factors on estrus synchronization and efficiency of Artificial Insemination (AI) in North Shoa zone of the Oromia region. The study population encompassed indigenous and crossbred cows and heifers found in six purposively selected kebeles (smallest administrative unit within a district) from the three selected districts (Wucale, Dagam and Kuyuu). Multistage sampling procedure was used to select target districts, kebeles and experimental cows/heifers. A total of 180 cows and heifers fulfilling estrus synchronization criteria were selected purposively and injected with synchronizing hormone (Alfaglandin C). The level of significance among categorical variables was determined using the chi-square (x2) test. About 70.6% of the cows and heifers injected with Alfaglandin C exhibited estrus. Exhibition of estrus following hormone injection was significantly (p<0.05) lower in Wuchale district compared with that of the other two districts. Likewise, the agroecology, farming system, herd group, and breed had a significant (p<0.05) effect on estrus exhibition. Among cows and heifers inseminated following estrus exhibition, 62.2% conceived as confirmed by pregnancy diagnosis (PD) test conducted at 45-day post AI, which dropped to 58.3% as observed by the PD test conducted three months’ post AI. Agroecology, farming system, herd group, and genotype of cows and heifers showed significant (p<0.05) influence on the conception rate (CR). The highest CR was observed among cows of Kuyuu district, which was significantly (p<0.05) different from that of the other two districts. The overall calving rate was 91.1%. The semi-intensive part of the study also showed better estrus synchronization response and better reproductive performances which directly associated with the management practices. Treating industrial byproducts, better management, and promoting AI can achieve better estrus synchronization and efficiency of artificial insemination.

The increasing demand by the teeming human population on animal agriculture for their daily animal protein intake requires every livestock, including goat products, to be on the menu list. Dismally, consumer acceptance and consumption of any product hugely rest on their behavioural attitudes. This study aimed to assess consumer perception of goat milk and meat in some areas of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Structured questionnaires were used to gather information on socio-demographic and economic characteristics and perceptions about goat meat and milk consumption. Also, information about consumer attitudes, their familiarity towards goat products and their awareness of the nutritional qualities of the animal’s product were gathered. Data from the 386 consumers selected randomly in Amathole and Buffalo city municipalities were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. Consumption of animal products was affirmed by 95.5% of the respondents. Respondents’ knowledge of goat milk breeds and their willingness to consume the product were 28.6% and 41.7%, respectively. Apart from the goaty odour (29.1%), about 55.8% of the respondents had no specific reason for not consuming goat milk. Many respondents (68.3%) consumed goat meat and had no specific reason for this high consumption pattern other than seeing it as just any other meat (42.2%). Most respondents did not know the specific nutritional benefits of consuming goat milk (42.7%) and meat (70.4%). There was a significant and positive association (P<0.05) between the age of respondents, whether they knew about goat milk, consumption of goat milk and the nutritional benefits. There was a significant association (P<0.05) between the educational level of the respondents and goat milk knowledge and their willingness to consume goat milk. The study findings indicate that a larger proportion of the respondents consumed goat meat and milk. However, there is potential for increasing the percentage of consumers for these products through education about their health benefits.

Przedstawiciele Kościoła w obliczu śmierci Jana III Sobieskiego
Authors: Skrzypietz Aleksandra
Published: July 2023

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie duchownych, którzy obecni byli na dworze w ostatnich chwilach życia króla Jana III i tych, którzy przybyli do stolicy bezpośrednio po jego zgonie. Wydaje się, że mimo długiej choroby monarchy, jego śmierć nastąpiła nagle, ku zaskoczeniu osób zgromadzonych na dworze. Działania podejmowane przez duchownych w tych trudnych chwilach wiązały się nie tylko z pełnionymi przez nich funkcjami, ale także z nową sytuacją polityczną oraz z napięciem, jakie zapanowało w rodzinie królewskiej. Rolę wiodącą przejął – co oczywiste – prymas Michał Radziejowski, ale szybko okazało się, że przeszkadzał mu w jego działalności biskup kujawski Stanisław Dąmbski, który konsekwentnie przez całe bezkrólewie i w okresie elekcji będzie starał się odegrać znaczącą rolę polityczną. Kolejnym celem artykułu jest też ukazanie wysiłków duchowieństwa, wypełniającego obowiązki tradycyjnie im przypadające, ale również starającego się o rozszerzenie swoich wpływów i zdobycie silniejszej pozycji politycznej.

HEROISM OF SAMIRAH AL-ABBAS IN RIORDAN’S THE SHIP OF THE DEAD
Authors: Meidiansyah Reza Akbar
Published: July 2023

People tend to associate heroes and heroism with the acts of being brave and risking life. However, actions that have both of these features are far more likely to generate heroic labels than actions that have only one feature. This paper aims to show the heroism of Samirah al-Abbas in the Rick Riordan’s third novel of the Magnus Chase and the Gods Of Asgard trilogy entitled The Ship of The Dead. This paper approaches the heroism values of the character by applying the concept of the Great Eight popularized by George R. Goethals and Scott T. Allison. The findings show that throughout the plot of the book, Samirah exhibited six of eight heroic traits, which are caring, charismatic, inspiring, selfless, smart, and strong.

The positive attitudes and behavior toward nature can be expressed through literature in poetry. Snyder's Mother Earth: Whales is a poem that promotes environmental values. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how literary devices reveal environmental values in Snyder's Mother Earth: Whales. This study used an Ecocriticim approach and environmental values concept by Stern and Dietz to analyze on of Gary Snyder's poems in Turtle Island anthology of poems entitled Mother Earth: Whales. This study found that, in Mother Earth: Whales, Snyder endeavored to reveal environmental value of biospheric value by using figurative languages. In this poem, he used seven cynicisms, three similes, two allusions, two personifications and four metaphors. Furthermore, the researcher suggests a future researcher to use pragmatic approach and VBN theory.

Published: July 2023

Introducción: El engagement laboral es un efecto psicológico positivo relevante en la literatura, y prácticamente son inexistentes estudios de validez de la versión ultra-breve de la Utrecht Work Engagement Scale en Latinoamérica. Objetivo: identificar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión ultra-breve de la Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-3) y analizar su equivalencia con la versión UWES-9 en una muestra de docentes de una Universidad Pública de México. Método: la muestra final fue de N=247 profesores universitarios, quienes contestaron la UWES en sus versiones de 9 y 3 ítems, así como el Cuestionario de Evaluación de Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo para personal de edu¬cación (CESQT-PE) con el propósito de estimar su validez discriminante. Resultados: Los resultados confirmaron correlaciones muy altas entre ambas versiones del UWES (3-9) (r=>.82-.93), una estructura unidimensional del UWES- 3 con mayores cargas factoriales (>.75), valores de consistencia interna satisfactorios (>.70) y correlaciones altas en la dirección esperada y similares con el CESQT-PE (q=.02-.08). Conclusiones: Se concluye que existe equivalencia del UWES-3 y el UWES-9 y se discuten los beneficios prácticos de la versión ultra-breve para la medición del engagement laboral en docentes universitarios.
Shock-Responsive Social Protection in the Sahel: Niger, Mauritania, and Senegal
Authors: Watson Carol
Published: July 2023

In the face of shocks that are recurrent, predictable, interrelated, and multi-annual, governments and the international community are increasingly looking to the potential of shock-responsive and adaptive social protection to address multidimensional risk in a sustainable and integrated manner. This is the case in the West African Sahel, where social protection systems are being strengthened and an array of new delivery approaches are underway to coordinate efforts and address shocks related primarily to food security arising out of climate and conflict-related shocks and displacement. Drawing on more detailed assessment of shock-responsive policy and programming in Niger, Mauritania, and Senegal, and informed by current global thinking, this paper identifies key issues, trends, and lessons learnt, and highlights emerging themes for support and engagement.
Development of Virtual Reality Based Maritime Literature Learning: Exploring Madurese Local Wisdom in the Folklore of Jokotole
Authors: Amil Ahmad Jami'ul , Dellia Prita , Ismail Nor Hasimah , Narawi Mohammad Syawal
Published: July 2023

This study focuses on the development of Virtual Reality (VR)-based language learning media, literature, and teaching to enhance writing skills and facilitate the process of learning literature and local knowledge related to ships, naval warfare strategies, and understanding Jokotole stories while incorporating local wisdom. The research follows the Borg and Gall Research and Development model, consisting of seven stages: problem identification, information gathering, product design, product testing, design revision, design validation, and product revision. The developed learning media is intended for use on android or similar devices, utilizing a virtual box, and integrates Madurese local wisdom from folklore through VR technology. The research aims to address two main questions: (1) How to develop VR-based learning media for maritime literature that focuses on local wisdom related to sailing and naval warfare strategies in Jokotole folklore, and (2) What is the process of reading learning using VR media? The research findings include the development of a storyboard based on the Jokotole legend using unity software and limited to five events. The naval strategy incorporates the influence of the Jokotole figure and their authority. Furthermore, shipping technology and weapons involve the use of sickles, machetes, and whips, while the ship model (Cadik) functions as transportation. The study concludes that the process of learning literature using VR media enhances student enthusiasm and facilitates the formation of writing ideas. VR media is highly engaging for students and can be an alternative approach in literature learning, allowing for the reinterpretation of folklore content.
