Student’s Challenges and Coping Strategies on Self-directed Modular Distance Learning: Input for Implementation Review
Authors: Bayron Abraham
Published: July 2023

The sudden transformation of learning modality had a remarkable impact on education. Teachers and students have been facing challenges in adopting the changes in the system. Thus, the study aimed to explore students' challenges in implementing the self-directed modular learning modality. The study employed the quantitative and qualitative mixed method of research and thematic analysis technique. The study found that secondary students encountered challenges in implementing the modular modality, such as lack of access to modern technology, module content issues, family and financial matters, time management, communication with the teacher, and the teachers' unclear instruction. Thus, financial support (e.g., food, school supplies, and monetary assistance) will be extended to students to lessen stress, anxiety, and depression. The government will allocate a sufficient budget for internet connection, bending machines, and computer sets. Training and programs in line with the technical skills enhancement of the students and parents will be taken into consideration, and the JRMSU College of Education must facilitate this as an extension program.
Structure and Types of Pashto Syllable
Authors: Shaheedkhel Sayed Kazim , Omari Mohammad Azam
Published: July 2023

The syllable is the phonological element that plays a vital role in the formation of the word. A complete and standard syllable consists of the Onset, Nucleus, and Coda, but at the same time, the Onset or Coda part of the syllable can also fall down. No syllable can be constructed without Nucleus and vowel sounds. The vowel in the syllable structure has as much value as the syllable has in the word formation. These vowels play a fundamental role in the syllable’s distribution and types. This article explores the intricate structure and various types of syllables found in the Pashto language, primarily spoken in Afghanistan. Syllables play a fundamental role in linguistic analysis, as they constitute the building blocks of words and affect the rhythm, stress, and intonation patterns in speech.

The findings of this study contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the Pashto language's syllable structure, shedding light on its unique phonological features. This knowledge holds significance for various fields, including linguistics, language teaching, and speech pathology, enabling researchers and language professionals to better analyze and comprehend the complexities of Pashto syllables.

Authors: Clotet Palà Núria , Tena Gallego Èlia
Published: July 2023

L’equitat educativa en general, i en STEM en particular, és un dels reptes de l’educació actual al nostre territori. En aquest article presentem com l’escola Salvador Vinyals i Galí, situada en un entorn desafavorit i amb un alumnat amb perfils poc representats en les STEM, inicia un procés de reflexió i canvi respecte al treball d’aquestes disciplines a l’escola. L’objectiu principal és la millora de l’aprenentatge i del posicionament STEM del seu alumnat (interès, percepció d’autoeficàcia, aspiracions…). Per fer-ho s’han dut a terme dues accions principals: la formació del claustre i la creació d’una aula STEM. Tot i que encara és aviat per valorar l’impacte, ja s’observen alguns canvis, per exemple, en la percepció de l’alumnat vers l’error, la participació en les activitats de tot l’alumnat o el foment d’altres tipus d’aprenentatge.

Published: July 2023

This article is the result of a research process within the Resistiré project, which evaluates the responses to the COVID crisis in social policy processes in several European countries. This study has taken into account the experience of girls and adolescents in situations of neglect in the circumstances that have surrounded their educational processes and their academic reality in the COVID period.
Situations of neglect in childhood are those that affect the normal personal, social and material development of minors, generating situations of high vulnerability that imply the need to activate alternative protection measures that guarantee the subjective right of every child and adolescent.
Thought should be given to the special relevance that the health crisis has had on the reality of these girls and adolescents whose legal guardians —affected by particular life situations— have been able to suffer in an aggravated manner in the face of a reality that previously constituted a highly vulnerable situation.
The article focuses on the reality of girls and adolescents in the Basque Country (Spain). For this purpose, and through the access to their narratives, the particularity of their vital conditions is identified, showing their high resilient capacity, as well as the difficulties, alternatives and capacities developed to face adversity.

O imaginário social em Goiânia: cidade-espetáculo ou cidade-paranoia?
Authors: Dos Santos Ilana Mara Borges Barreto , Resende Sandra Catharinne Pantaleão
Published: July 2023

As cidades, no século XXI, são multiculturais, uma vez que abarcam uma coexistência de experiências de distintas naturezas que acumulam-se no tempo e no espaço. Considerando a diversidade do espaço urbano, buscou-se refletir, em uma perspectiva qualitativa, guiada por uma abordagem histórica e dialética, a instituição do eurocentrismo como emblema da modernidade e o surgimento do pós-colonialismo, em contraponto a esse pensamento. A seguir, lançou-se um breve olhar sobre a “construção” da América Latina a partir da visão de zona periférica, destacando-se os imaginários e as representações culturais nas cidades, na perspectiva de Néstor García Canclini (2008), mediante os termos cidades-espetáculo e cidades-paranoicas. Trazendo a discussão dos estudos culturais para o Brasil, foi analisada a cidade de Goiânia, capital do estado de Goiás, tendo em vista sua influência na rede urbana do centro-oeste brasileiro. Por conseguinte, tendo em vista o projeto urbanístico da cidade, com influências dos modelos urbanistas francês e inglês, viu-se que a presença do imaginário eurocentrado na capital ainda é preponderante, uma vez que sua paisagem urbana permanece sendo projetada pelos agentes sociais como símbolo de civilização e modernização. Por fim, a partir dos estudos de Canclini (2008) fez-se uma breve análise das construções imaginárias e representativas de Goiânia e qual o seu impacto na construção da cidade ora como cidade-espetáculo, ora como cidade-paranoica.
Refração política, campo do poder e gestão democrática em escolas públicas de Niterói-RJ: analisando o discurso sobre o princípio da gestão democrática na prática de gestores escolares
Authors: Dos Santos Pablo Silva Machado Bispo
Published: July 2023

As relações entre o Estado, a Legislação e a Política não podem de forma alguma ser reputadas como harmônicas, assim como, é impossível observar correspondências diretas entre estes três entes basilares dos fenômenos das sociedades contemporâneas. Partindo desse pressuposto, esse Projeto de Pesquisa procura compreender de que maneira   o Princípio   da   Gestão Democrática   se   manifesta   em   escolas   públicas   do município de Niterói, município este que vem a ser o maior IDH da Região Metropolitana II do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para tanto, será utilizada uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa que procura compreender os fenômenos sociais a partir de investigação intensiva do mesmo, sem, no entanto, buscar captar as frequências em que tal fenômeno se manifesta. Assim, mediante a escolha de diretores escolares a serem abordados por intermédio de questionários e entrevistas, análise de documentos oficiais sobre as escolas e redes de ensino e documentos internos das referidas escolas, esperamos identificar a existência de assincronias entre o Princípio da Gestão Democrática, previsto em Lei e a análise dos dados oriundos das fontes elencadas. A nossa hipótese é a de que há fortes discrepâncias entre os referidos documentos e o discurso dos gestores escolares, o que denominamos “Refração Política” e que este fator seria obstáculo para que a Gestão Democrática se concretizasse nas escolas.

Published: July 2023

É sabido que grande parte das ocorrências referentes a eventos adversos a medicamentos originam-se de Interações Medicamentosas, o que pode levar a falha terapêutica e/ou consequências a saúde dos pacientes. Boa parte dessas interações poderiam ser evitadas se os profissionais prescritores e a própria população que usa vários medicamentos tivesse acesso a informações importantes dentro desse assunto. Assim, esse artigo visa mostrar uma revisão das interações medicamentosas de quatro classes terapêuticas, classes essas com grande expressividade no número de prescrições medicamentosas, antitireoidianos, glicocorticoides, anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais e anticoncepcionais, e por consequência contribuir para o uso racional de medicamentos.
THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE STATE AND MUSLIMS IN THE USSR AND FOREIGNERS’ CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE SOVIET STATE: ANALYSIS OF DOCUMENTS DISCOVERED IN 2022
Authors: Akhmadullin Vyacheslav Abdulovich
Published: July 2023

Recent years have seen the possibility of introducing into scientific circulation declassified documents of the highest state and political bodies, public organizations, and the spiritual directorates of Muslims, which until now were unknown in wide circles. They allow us to examine the forms and methods of activity of the Soviet state in building relationships with Muslims and to identify the directions, principles, and features of the work of state and public organizations in this sphere. A characteristic feature of religious policy in the late 1960s, one of the main conductors of which was the Council for Religious Affairs under the USSR Council of Ministers, established in December 1965, was the creation of a picture of the harmony of religious life and prosperity of religious organizations in the country. The Soviet Union demonstrated to the world that Soviet Muslims, like their coreligionists from other states, could go on Hajj to Saudi Arabia. The quantity of Hajj travelers from the USSR was extremely small and there was a huge disproportion not only between them and the number of Muslims who wanted to perform Hajj but also between the number of applications received by the organizers of the Hajj and the authorities, including the Council for Religious Affairs. At the same time, the heads of Muslim spiritual administrations could travel to Hajj several times. Analysis of archival documents discovered in 2022 showed the attitude to Muslims who made the Hajj from several angles: from the Soviet state, ordinary Muslims of the USSR, the authorities and Muslims of the countries visited by Soviet pilgrims during their journey, such as Sudan and Egypt. Very revealing is the attitude towards the Soviet pilgrims from the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ranging from ordinary people to the authorities, including the king.
Impact of single-piece flow thermo-chemical treatment process conditions on hole quenching deformation
Authors: Stachurski W. , Sawicki J. , Zgórniak P. , Wołowiec-Korecka E.
Published: July 2023

Pulsed low-pressure carburizing (LPC) and omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) are innovative methods for quenching the surface layer. The thermo-chemical treatment carried out by this method reduces quenching geometric deformations, with detailed numerical values not available in the literature due to the short existence of this method.Sixteen toothed elements of EN 20MnCr5 steel were subjected to pulsed low-pressure carburising with omnidirectional jet quenching in 4 groups, varying the process temperature (920C, 960C) and in two groups performing a tempering treatment. The elements were tested before machining by measuring their internal hole diameters, radial runout, roundness and cylindricity. These values were tested again after treatment. The direction of change and the statistical significance of the effect of treatment and its parameters, temperature and tempering were analysed.Thermo-chemical treatment significantly affects geometric changes in diameters, roundness, cylindricity and radial runout compared to elements without heat treatment due to physical transformations occurring during this treatment (p<0.05). Changing the process temperature in the value range of 920C-960C affects the hole diameter (makes it smaller) (p<0.05), but does not affect radial runout, cylindricity and roundness. The observed dimensional changes in diameters have numerically small values (<0.005 mm). The tempering treatment can affect the values of average diameters. Its effect on roundness, cylindricity and radial runout was not observed.In the temperature range studied, the method of pulsed low-pressure carburising + omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching makes it possible to raise the temperature of the process and shorten its duration without significant geometric changes in the treated elements.The method of pulsed low-pressure carburising and omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) ensures the maintenance of reproducible quenching deformations at a level significantly lower than conventional processing methods.The method of pulsed low-pressure carburising together with omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) is a method that has been used briefly in the industry, and there are few reports on it to date.

One of the current promotional strategies adopted by many brands in Indonesia is leveraging the K-Wave (Hallyu) phenomenon. A skincare manufacturer aims to capitalize on this opportunity by appointing the popular K-Pop girl group, Twice as their brand ambassador. The significant investment in this collaboration raises high expectations for skincare products, particularly regarding their chosen brand ambassadors' impact on purchasing decisions and brand loyalty. Hence, this research aims to examine the influence of various dimensions (visibility, credibility, attractiveness, and power) of K-Pop artist Twice on skincare product consumers' purchasing decisions and brand loyalty. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the mediating role of customer satisfaction in the relationship between purchasing decisions and brand loyalty among cosmetics product consumers. This research employs a non-probability purposive sampling technique, with a sample size of 200 respondents aged between 15 and 34 years, encompassing all genders. The respondents must have prior experience using cosmetics products and be aware of Twice as one of the skincare brand ambassadors. The data analysis technique employed is the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The findings indicate that the dimensions of "visibility" and "power" have a positive yet insignificant effect on purchasing decisions, while "credibility" and "attractiveness" exhibit a positive and significant impact on purchasing decisions. Additionally, the "visibility" dimension of the brand ambassador demonstrates a positive and significant influence on brand loyalty. However, the dimensions of "credibility," "attractiveness," and "power" of the brand ambassador show a positive but insignificant effect on brand loyalty. Furthermore, the results highlight the positive and significant influence of purchasing decisions on customer satisfaction, and customer satisfaction, in turn, has a positive and significant impact on brand loyalty.

Published: July 2023

Most psychiatric disorders are moderate to highly heritable, often with different genetic architectures. Although genetic research in psychiatry has progressed, its findings, interpretation, and impact on clinical psychiatry are unknown to most mental healthcare professionals. This article addresses key genetic concepts to understand some clinical entities, emphasizing genetic terminology and types of mutations. Particularly, we describe the role of heritability in the early days of psychiatry genetic research, the most used study designs, and their main objectives. On the other hand, we review some genetic and genomic databases useful for clinical practice. These include Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, ClinVar, Ensembl, and The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database. Finally, a clinical vignette is presented in which we can apply genomic medicine tools. Since the evidence in psychiatric genetics is based on studies carried out in European or North American ancestral populations, we must develop local studies to increase the knowledge and application of genomic medicine on underrepresented populations.
Decolonizing the African musical language and Identity through Onyeji’s ‘Research Approach to music composition’ in Nigeria
Authors: Ekpo Omotolani Ebenezer
Published: July 2023

Ongoing research in the arts, humanities and social sciences has largely explored different subjects on decolonising African socio-cultural perspectives, including music composition and performances. Art music composers in Nigeria and diaspora beyond creative expression have adopted their native languages as a viable tool for decolonising their continent. More recently, works and arguments of music scholars like Meki Nzewi, Dan Agu, Bode Omojola, Olusoji Stephen, and Christian Onyeji, among so many, have emphasised the deliberate creative engagement of indigenous languages and musical idioms as a tool for recovering Nigerian indigenous identity and sustainability of their indigenous musical cultures. Building on Hofstede’s theory on cross-cultural interactions and Vygotsky’s Sociocultural theory in addressing the issue of decolonising Africa through music and language, the study employed qualitative and ethnographic research methods to investigate the significance of Onyeji’s research compositional approach in sustaining African musical culture and identity. The study findings based on the analysis of the music piece “Abigbo for Modern Orchestra” and its creative milieu within the context of decolonisation conclude that art music composition based on thorough cultural investigations of a particular musical style or ensemble for heritage preservation is an effective medium of decolonising African music and language.

Key words: intensity level, cost of gross product, output of gross product, profit, labor costs, stock ratio, working capital turnover ratio, feeding ration

For the effective organization of production, the study of the climatic conditions of the region is of great importance. The latter makes it possible to choose the activities of the areas corresponding to those conditions, for which there are the most favorable conditions. Therefore, in the article, we have given a brief description of the cattle station of Askeran region. In the article, we presented the company’s production resource potential, the main indicators of production and economic activity. Since land is the main means of cultivation in agriculture, we have presented the composition and structure of the company’s land fund and investigated the purpose of its use. While raising the issues of intensification, we could not but touch on the composition and structure of fixed and circulating assets. Therefore, we have presented the existing fixed and working capital of the company, their composition and structure and the level of use. We have made appropriate calculations and analysis regarding the indicators related to the effectiveness of the use of fixed and working capital. In the article, we have presented the labor and household resources available to the enterprise, the indicators of the possible use of the annual fund of working time, the wage fund, the average monthly wage, on which we have made relevant analyses. Intensification includes all the most important economic aspects of the organization and has a direct impact on the final production results. Intensification indicators should be as complete as possible and should accurately reflect the actual state of production, the level of development and the degree of intensity.

Summarizing the results of the work, we can conclude that tourism has become one of the most profitable types of business in the world, it accounts for about 10% of the total world income. The number of tourists is constantly increasing, according to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in 2022 their number will be more than 900 million people.
Many countries owe their prosperity to the development of tourism. From this point of view, the Republic of Armenia is not an exception in the direction of tourism development, where the Lori region occupies a leading position. The development of mountain tourism in the Lori region will stimulate the tourism business of the Republic of Armenia.
As we are informed from the statistical department of the Ministry of Trade and Economic Development of the Republic of Armenia, including the air cargo, each tourist who stays in the Republic of Armenia for seven days leaves Armenia for about 800 to 1000 US dollars. If we multiply this number by the number of 75,000 tourists, we get about $75 million. Assessing the impact of tourism on the country’s economy, it can be noted that the specific (unit) weight of tourism in Armenia’s GDP ranges from 6% to 8%. From this perspective, the share of Lori region tourism is quite large.
Lori region can increase the growth of budget revenues from tourism. Expert studies prove that the revenues from tourism have tendency to increase by about 20% annually. However, the tourism sector of Lori region is facing serious problems. Special attention is paid to the solution of the problems in the development and implementation of tourism programs in Armenia planned by the state concept of tourism development. Today, some of the problems are being successfully solved, in particular, the acute transport problems have been solved, the situation in the hotel sector has improved. Only in recent years, about 20 large hotels have been restored and opened in RA, besides a serious competition is also observed in the restaurant industry.

The article represents current state and analysis of tourism infrastructures in Lori Region as an important factor in the development of tourism.
Since tourism is one of the important keys to the economic development of the region now, it’s quite necessary to study and evaluate the current state of tourism infrastructures, the degree of their development as well as the possibilities of use.
Lori Region is famous for its unique nature and rich historical and cultural resources, which have great potential as a tourist attraction. However, because of insufficient coverage and weak development of those infrastructures it has remained a passive field of tourism for a long time.
At the same time, it should be noted that the constantly increasing number of tourists in Lori Region indicates the growing pace of tourism, which has been greatly facilitated by the recent infrastructure development. The quality of hotel resorts, guest houses, public foodservice, transport services and roads has improved significantly.
We’ve analyzed and assessed the hospitality industry, transport and oublic catering industry services, entertainment facilities and their activities, significance and location.
In our study, we highlighted both the advantages and the gaps in the operation of the tourism infrastructures, and offered several recommendations for their regulation.
Having analyzed the subject matter we came to the conclusion that the region needs serious investments for the development of tourism infrastructures.
Only if the infrastructure network, which includes hotels, restaurants, transportation, communication, and other service facilities, is upgraded can the region’s tourism development prospects be fully realized.

Key words: milk, ricotta, syneresis, globulin, albumin, thermophilic bacteria

The aim of our research is to obtain a milk protein product similar to ricotta cheese. In its appearance and production technology, ricotta is somewhere between cheese and cottage cheese. But in terms of texture, softness and versatility, this is a unique product.
Our idea is to get a superfood from yogurt and ricotta. The new product, due to a special technology, will not contain lactose and will be useful for people with lactose intolerance, as well as children and athletes. The developed technology of the above product will undoubtedly interest local producers and open a new direction for dairy production in Armenia. The production of soft, especially fresh and early ripening cheeses can be widely implemented at existing farm and urban dairy enterprises without significant capital investments, which will increase the volume of cheeses and improve the efficiency of their production.
The experimental ricotta was made from reconstituted milk. fat content: 3.2%, dry fat-free substances: 8.2%, density: 1027 kg/m3, titratable acidity: not higher than 21oT. Reconstituted milk was kept for 9-12 hours at 6...8°C for hydration.
Based on the results of the research, from the samples made in three ways, the one corresponding to the properties we needed was chosen. In the production by the thermoacid method, the yield was 0.148 kg per 1 liter of milk. It has a pronounced aroma and good taste, delicate, but not uniform, with low taste.
The yield of the sample obtained using citric acid by the thermoacid method was 0.157 kg per 1 liter of milk. With a pleasant taste and aroma, delicate, but again not uniform enough.
When using calcium chloride by the thermo-salt method, a homogeneous fine-grained clot with good taste and aroma was obtained. Milk yield was 0.165 kg per 1 liter of milk.

Key words: degree of uniqueness of the text, information system, final qualification work, search for borrowings

This work aims to develop a prototype of an information system for determining the uniqueness of the final qualifying works of the university. The following results were achieved as a part of the work: a block diagram of the informational system’s representation was built, and a graphical model of the informational system was designed using UML diagrams. A module for replenishing the database has been developed in two aspects: the names of the works and the content of the works, with the ability to check the compliance of the content with the name of the work in the database. A module generating a report and searching for the text’s uniqueness based on the work's title has been developed. When implementing the search for borrowings in the title of the work, the author's method of word primary processing was developed using an array of direct forms of valuable words, taking into account the grammatical and syntactic specifics of the Armenian language. The development and implementation of an information system in the university’s educational process will contribute to increasing the degree of uniqueness of student research work.
