Authors: Srikrishna Shiva , Sadhana Kasula , Sri S Ramya
Published: June 2023

In the present research work, we have designed a pulsatile formulation of Bosentan to treat High blood pressure as per the chronotherapeutic pattern of the disease. Core tablets were prepared by incorporating different concentration of disintegrants and were compressed in between different concentration of polymers. The core and compression coated tablets were subjected to pre-formulation, physicochemical and In-vitro drug release studies. FTIR studies revealed that there was not any chemical reaction between pure drug Bosentan and polymers. The pre and post-compressional parameters of tablets were also found to be within limits. Our optimized formulation F-6 releases Bosentan after a lag time of 2 hours and 98.01 % up to 12 hours. Formulations were stable for at least 3 months under standard long-term and accelerated storage conditions.

New species and subspecies of Rutelinae
Authors: Agrawal Arvind
Published: June 2023

Rutelinae constitutes the second largest subfamily of Scarabaeidae in India with around 400 described species in five tribes. The last comprehensive taxonomic revision of the group was by Arrow, 1917 through a fauna of British India Volume on the group. Since then there is no revision of the group. Arrow’s work had a reasonably good collection base covering most areas of India. But Chhattisgarh and many other states remain unrepresented in his work. Even the states represented are, however, poorly sampled. Since 1917, few additions made have also failed to properly sample the country.
When ‘Good intentions’ Backfire: A Case for Non-Transracial Legal Guardianship Rather Than Adoption and Why Transracial Adoptions Are Not Trauma Informed
Authors: Ozor Commer Chidimma
Published: June 2023

What are the consequences or impacts of transracial adoptions where the adopters are in the United States adopting either in the United States (domestic) or internationally (inter-country)? Findings from this study suggest that transracial adoptions have caused and continue to cause adoptees significant trauma and distress despite healing efforts like therapy, connecting with other transracial adult adoptees, and ceasing contact with adopters, for example. This article explores the experiences of transracial adoptees, the majority of whom use three words to describe the impact of their adoptions—trauma, grief, and loss. The primary recommendation is for the abolition of transracial adoptions, whether within the United States (domestic) or international (inter-country) as they are a harmful and legal mechanism that causes family separation and loss despite incorporating trauma informed practice. Non-transracial legal guardianship is a more trauma informed approach than transracial adoption that can ensure that children are safe and living in a home that allows them to not only survive, but thrive. These recommendations can be implemented if social workers are trained to be part of the solution of mitigating harm to children, rather than being complicit by allowing transracial adoption to continue.
Informal social control and the endorsement of police legitimacy: A confirmatory factor analysis
Authors: Lown Josh
Published: June 2023

High-profile shootings by police officers and the mass protests that followed have highlighted the necessity of social work scholars to address new perspectives in community safety. Collective efficacy is a theoretical framework that explores how individual-level interactions impact community-level outcomes. Despite evidence that indicates collective efficacy is an effective mediator to community-level crime and violence, criticisms of the model question the influence of informal social control and whether or not it represents policing in another form. This paper seeks to understand the relationship between informal social control and police legitimacy to understand how residents’ inclination to intervene reflects a replication of the worst aspects of formal institutions of social control. I performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) across 15 endogenous variables and two latent exogenous variables to create two pathways that assessed the relationship between informal social control and police legitimacy. Results from the CFA pathways indicate that increased levels of informal social control among neighborhood residents was related to decreased levels of police legitimacy. Implications of these findings for abolitionist social work scholars are discussed along with the study’s limitations and future directions for research.

Autodesarrollo del pensamiento crítico y la práctica reflexiva en docentes de educación primaria con vivencias de riesgo sanitario
Authors: Pérez Estrada María Teresa , Garay Argandoña Rafael , Hernández Ronald M.
Published: June 2023

The contamination of drinking water with different chemicals and heavy metals, released from different anthropogenic sources, has become a global concern. Contamination of drinking water is a relatively new but steadily increasing problem as a result of population growth, urbanization and industrialization unprecedented since the 1990s, with significant implications for both the environment and human health. Contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation are linked to the transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery and polio. Much research has been done around water and human rights. However, international campaigns for access to drinking water and the campaign against privatization could increase the political priority towards water and force governments and the State to ensure basic water needs. That is why the application of the Health Risk Index is a key element in the detection and definition of priority areas, seeking to evaluate and characterize a resident population based on the health risk exposed. Although the State is responsible for ensuring vulnerability to risks associated with all services, including water, education must start from the youngest, and it is there, where teachers and professors must encourage critical thinking so that the educated can be multiplying entities. In this article, the definitions of critical thinking and reflective practice are analyzed under the collection of information related to the experiences of health risk in the Republic of Peru, going through the basic education teacher to the students, making an analysis of the behavior of this phenomenon in the educational system and finally evaluating critically the national curricular design.
Contribución metodológica a la epidemiologia y vigilancia genómica tropical: Desde las macrohabilidades del inglés
Authors: Barriga Fray Johanna Isabel
Published: June 2023

In the last two decades, there has been a commitment of political will and financial resources for the reduction of neglected tropical diseases. NTDs affect approximately 1 billion people, the majority of whom are poor. In the case of many of these tropical diseases, efforts have focused on expanding treatment coverage through mass drug administration. The disappointing reality is that in all geographic regions, some diseases persist. This has led the WHO to call for breakthroughs and new tools to accelerate progress in reducing the substantial burden such as genomics. Genomic surveillance is commonly employed as an important tool to understand the sources of outbreaks of viral and bacterial infections. However, despite the great advances in genomics, many medical students are not familiar with the appropriate terms, basically due to their low command of English, which is the language that dominates the scientific field. To learn about this reality, a diagnostic test was applied to Spanish-speaking students in the areas of medical sciences with the aim of estimating the students' ability to understand, dexterity or macro-skills in English in the context of epidemiology and tropical genomic surveillance. The results show that students have reading ability from good to excellent in more than 70% of the population studied, in contrast, the lowest domain is writing ability with 41.176% at a low-regular level.
The Dignity within Us: Harold Pinter’s Search for Truth
Authors: Roberts Matthew
Published: June 2023

“Art, Truth and Politics” juxtaposes the artist’s pursuit for truth with the citizen’s obligation to define the “real truth” of their lives. Drama does not need to distinguish what is real from what is unreal, leading an artist or spectator on an interminable quest to discover a play’s truth. However, citizens must identify what is true about their societies or risk losing a politics founded on dignity. Obtuse on this issue, Pinter leaves the reader to imagine what he must have meant by “the dignity of man.” In Anglo-European intellectual history, dignity typically refers to a quality—the soul or free will—that exceeds humanity’s material conditions. Conversely, Pinter’s definition of dignity corresponds with the existential poverty that he discusses in “Writing for the Theatre.” Pinter’s Nobel speech invites “us” to consider how dramatic truth—because it is easy to lose—concerns “what is so nearly lost to us.”
Provocation(s): Pinter, Politics, and Spectatorship
Authors: Roberts Matthew
Published: June 2023

What, precisely, makes Harold Pinter’s so-called political plays political? It is customary to associate plays such as One for the Road, Mountain Language, Party Time, and Ashes to Ashes with real political failures that occur outside the theater. This presentation experiments with the opposite approach. Drawing on archival evidence that describes how audience members responded to Mountain Language and Ashes to Ashes, “Provocation(s): Pinter, Politics, and Spectatorship” entertains the possibility that Pinter critiques the conditions that make spectatorship possible.
Domesticating Menace: Harold Pinter’s The Servant (1963)

After reviewing the various interpretations offered for the work, such as its critique of colonialism and homophobia, the author argues for a more detailed examination of the character of Susan, Tony’s fiancé, in order to highlight the film’s interrogation of not only power but patriarchal power.
William Carlos Williams and West Coast Poetic Culture: Personalist Poetics from Paterson to Bolinas Mesa
Authors: Soldofsky Alan
Published: June 2023

This article aims to show the pervasive influence of William Carlos Williams’s later more “personalist” work, in particular, on the poetry of Kenneth Rexroth, Philip Whalen, and Joanne Kyger. I analyze how Williams’s later poetics influence West Coast poets, particularly Kenneth Rexroth, whose idea of a “personalist” poetics stands opposed to the “impersonalist” aesthetics of T.S. Eliot-Ezra Pound wing of modernism. I then introduce close readings of several poems of Philip Whalen, whose personalist style is more internal and less extraverted than the other poets and represents another step away from the modernist Williams and toward a highly subjective personalist aesthetic where the poem can become a graph of the poet’s “mind moving.” I go on to argue that Joanne Kyger’s poetic practice is much influenced by Whalen’s innovative take on Williams’s discursive poetics and contend that Kyger’s Zen-influenced “poetics of interconnectedness” contribute to her reframing Bolinas as an aesthetic site strongly connected to Williams’s post-Paterson sensibilities.
Social justice implications of smart urban technologies: an intersectional approach
Authors: Sharma Nickhil Kumar , Hargreaves Tom , Pallett Helen
Published: June 2023

Techno-optimistic visions around smart buildings, homes, cities, grids, healthcare, etc. have become ubiquitous over the past decade. Using variations of machine learning and artificial intelligence, smart urbanism (SU) envisions an efficient, digital society. However, research shows that smart technologies reinscribe inequalities by prioritising the interests of the free market, technology-centric governance and data monetisation. Although there has been a growing concern over the injustices SU perpetuates, there is a lack of systematic engagement with power systems such as capitalism or heterosexism that underpin SU visions. A novel framework is presented that situates intersectional justice at the heart of SU. A mapping of 70 cases of ‘trouble’ with the promises of SU is used to address three core research questions: What are the ‘troubles’ with SU? To what extent are they intersectional? What can intersectionality add to the development of a just SU? The analysis shows how SU politics play out in relation to how users are understood and engaged, how different actors institutionalise SU and how dominant power systems are challenged. The presented strategy contributes to understanding not just the data politics in urban spaces, but also how they can be renegotiated and re-evaluated to solve multiple and interconnected urban crises without compromising on social justice.
Practice relevance
Citizen-led initiatives against SU should commit to intersectionality’s radical core to dismantle power structures to ensure local smart urban projects do not entrench global business-as-usual neoliberal agendas. Intersectional thinking can create spaces for deliberative dialogues between civil society groups and build alliances across groups that seek to challenge the hegemony of exclusionary urban policies. Urban planners and local governments, which are at the forefront of SU applications, should decentre technologies and rather focus efforts on working out how smart technologies can work in conjunction with other kinds of urban interventions, such as social, economic and environmental policy changes, collaborative planning, community development, etc. to herald more just urban futures. Designers of smart urban technologies should apply intersectional approaches to further challenge ‘Homo economicus’ (rational, White, technophilic, able-bodied) as the primary user type and to replace it with diverse user archetypes that express humanity, justice and generosity.
Preparation of Future Teachers for Measuring Technical Quantities
Authors: Bánesz Gabriel , Lukáčová Danka
Published: June 2023

In addition to acquiring pedagogical and methodological competencies, preparing future teachers of scientific subjects is also focused on acquiring practical skills of students from various technical fields. One of these fields is the measurement of technical quantities. The paper presents the methodological basics necessary for the preparation and implementation of environmental temperature measurement and the results of the measurements obtained by the students. Two thermometers were used to measure the temperature. The classical thermometer measured the air temperature, and a spherical thermometer measured the radiation temperature of the same environment. The obtained data were evaluated using methods of descriptive statistics, and the whole experiment was also assessed from the point of view of measurement methodology. The data obtained from the measurements of both thermometers showed differences, allowing the students to understand the difference between air and radiant temperatures.

Authors: Barnová Silvia , Geršicová Zuzana , Krásna Slávka , Gabrhelová Gabriela
Published: June 2023

The proposed paper reflects on the European Commission’s recommendations targeted at accessible, more attractive, and flexible vocational training. An emphasis is placed on an active and conscious collaboration of the actors of the educational practice, and attention is paid to undergraduate teacher training and the efforts to increase the interest in developing professional and key competencies through the digital and green transformation of the economy. The paper is based on the European Commission’s declared commitments, presented in the European Green Deal in 2019 (European Commission, 2019) as a challenge to eliminating existential environmental threats. For its application in practice, teachers’ sufficient knowledge in developing knowledge, skills, and pro-environmental attitudes in their students is essential. Additionally, attention is paid to the document ‘Council Recommendation on Key Competencies for Lifelong Learning’ adopted by the European Council, which committed each Member State to implement it in its curricular documents. On the application level, the paper is focused on vocational schoolteachers’ preparedness for accomplishing demanding tasks and on promoting their undergraduate training by utilising appropriate teaching methods and strategies.
Distance Education through Information and Communication Technologies
Authors: Hargaš Ján , Matisková Darina , Hargaš Branislav
Published: June 2023

The article deals with distance education through information and communication technologies, which has many advantages compared to traditional forms of education but also disadvantages. On the one hand, it allows to rationalise the work of teachers, helps to break down stereotyped activities, and makes it possible to interest and activate students. Still, on the other hand, not enough attention is paid to addressing psychological, sociological, and pedagogical problems. Flexibility and convenience can be included among the positives, i.e., learning for students at times that suit them best and in environments that stimulate them or where they feel comfortable.

Published: June 2023

Nowadays, it is necessary to use not only classic teaching methods be used in the teaching process but also non-traditional methods that can activate students to work independently and to find appropriate solutions to problems. At secondary vocational schools, the basis of students' education is teaching vocational subjects. Graduates of secondary vocational schools are expected not only to have professional knowledge but also the ability to communicate, solve problems independently, work in a team, and orient themselves in information. Therefore, teachers should include as many teaching methods as possible in teaching professional subjects, which will enable students to develop and improve key competencies. Our goal is to describe examples of several specific activating teaching methods that can be applied to teaching various vocational subjects.
The Benefit of Professional Education on the Performance of Civil Servants
Authors: Vorel David , Válek Jan , Sládek Petr , Šibor Jiří
Published: June 2023

The paper is devoted to the benefit of professional education to employees’ work performance. A properly set up education system motivates employees to continue their education and subsequently facilitates their work activities. However, simply completing a properly planned training course may not guarantee the facilitation of the performance of work activities. By subsequent evaluation of the educational activities of the employees, it is necessary to find out whether the setting of professional education is beneficial for them or not. The education system needs to be looked at holistically. It is impossible to separate the benefit for the employees and the knowledge gained by completing the course. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the effectiveness of professional education to determine knowledge at the input and output of educational courses. The research was based on findings from groups of civil servants.

Published: June 2023

Natural stones are one of the indispensable elements of people from shelter to weapons. Among these stone types, marbles and marble-derived products are among the objects that people always prefer, from bathroom to kitchen, from garden design to small decorative home decorations. While the marbles are named according to the regions where they are extracted, their types and qualities are classified based on observation by people who are qualified as experts in this field. This classification, which is made by experts based on observation, carries risks in economic terms, increases the workload and is a difficult process with a high error rate. These processes need a fast, easy and highly accurate digital transformation. In this study, feature extraction was done by using deep learning in the species classification of marbles. The extracted features were classified using machine learning techniques. As a result of the application made with the data set consisting of 3703 marble and marble-derived natural stone images belonging to 28 different species, a classification success of 99.7% was obtained with the DenseNet deep learning model and the K-Nearest Neighbor method.

Authors: AHAMED Dr. Fayaz
Published: June 2023

The opportunity presented by modern living allows us to celebrate the many exquisite and distinctive religious traditions and to bring to light the many advantages that their preservation offers to society. Commercial banks were founded in a framework distinct from the Islamic context, with distinct foundational ideals and paradigms. As a result, most Muslims have not largely accepted those banks. In Oman, where the banking system transformed from regular public banking services to Islamic banking services to meet the demands and requirements of the Sharia complaint system where interest is not utilized as guided by Islamic economics. Hence, the focus of this research is on the halal earnings of Islamic banks. The primary goals of this study are to empirically investigate and assess the elements influencing the halal profits of Islamic banks in Oman while emphasizing significant data about banking performance that can aid decision- and policy-makers in the banking sector. The research subject was covered by secondary data, where the financial statements for Bank Nizwa and Al-Izz Bank for the five years from 2017 to 2021 were received from the Muscat Stock Exchange. In addition to using quantitative research to determine the relationships, this study was undertaken to investigate the halal profit of Islamic banks. Halal profit guarantees that the bank's earnings are obtained ethically and legally, in accordance with the standards and principles held by its clients. Halal profit also boosts clients' trust in Islamic banks. The discussion in the paper is anticipated to serve as a road map for a future initiative to elevate Islamic banking through an unwavering focus on innovation and the desire to provide excellence in everything banks do, including the creation and provision of a wide array of integrated products and services that are perfectly in line with Sharia principles.

Authors: Soares Junior Jalmir , Sampaio Jarbas
Published: June 2023

The present work focuses on an analysis of textbooks. This teaching tool was chosen due to its importance in the teaching and learning process in Brazilian schools. The goal is to verify the adequacy of mathematics textbooks to the competencies and abilities presented at BNCC, and it has as central research question: How do the textbooks of Mathematics address the content of Spatial Geometry and how is this content articulated in relation to the BNCC for effective learning in High School? It was sought to evaluate qualitatively, based on learning criteria required by the BNCC, the second-year high school textbook most commonly used by schools in the city of Camacari in Bahia, specifically in the chapters of Space Geometry. The textbook alone will not be able to sufficiently develop in the student all the necessary abilities and competences, much of the methodology used by the teacher.

Within this paper, we provide an expert opinion on five evidence-based psychological strategies that could help endurance participants overcome slowing down and stopping during performance: goal setting, motivational self-talk, relaxation, distraction, and pacing. We argue that these strategies are well-suited for delivery as brief-contact, educational interventions that could be accessible to large numbers of participants who do not have access to a sport and exercise psychologist. These interventions could be delivered using websites, online videos, workshops, or magazine articles. We propose a novel use for implementation intentions (i.e. if-then planning) to develop endurance participants’ conditional knowledge of when to use specific strategies. In addition, although research evidence suggests that these psychological strategies may be efficacious for overcoming thoughts of slowing down or stopping, there are important limitations in the research evidence. In particular, there is a dearth of ecologically valid, field-based effectiveness studies. Finally, we consider situations where attempts to resist slowing down or stopping during endurance activity may not be advisable. Scenarios include when there is an increased likelihood of injury, or when environmental conditions increase the risk of life-threatening events.

Authors: Sastria Emayulia
Published: June 2023

This current study aimed to examine the levels of TPACK among pre-service and in-service science teachers, including several influencing factors such as gender, status, and age. Through a study of TPACK dimensions of the 211 pre-service and in-service biology teachers and science teachers were identified. The results depicted that pre-service and in-service science teachers dominate the understanding and application of non-technological dimensions. Otherwise, it was found that technological dimensions needed to be more knowledgeable for pre-service and in-service science teachers. The analysis of the variance test demonstrates significant differences were identified regarding status and age. However, no dimension was found to be significantly different regarding age level. To sum up, pre-service and in-service science teachers have different understandings and applications of ICT integration in science classrooms. Professional teaching can be developed by improving knowledge and skills of technology, pedagogy, content, and their integration.
