World Health Organization (WHO) defines accident as an unexpected and an unintended event causing physical and mental injures. Children being less aware of danger are more vulnerable to accidents are one of the five leading causes of death in developing countries yearly. Accidents are main cause of death among children aged between 1-5 years old. As children are explorative in nature a number of accidents occur in this age group. Aims of the study: To assess the knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of home accidents and to find association between the knowledge score of mothers and selected demographic variables. Methodology: A descriptive study approach was adopted and structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of mothers. Convenience sampling technique was used to select the 50 samples from the selected community at Mangalore. The results and Conclusion: Majority (36%) of the mothers belonged to the age group 25-31 years. Half (50%) of the samples are belonged to Muslim community, 60% of the samples were from nuclear family, most (36%) of the samples were having one under five child. Majority 34% had pre-university and 30% had secondary school education. Majority (84 %) of the respondents had moderately adequate knowledge, only few (4 %) had inadequate knowledge and only 12% had adequate knowledge on prevention of home accidents. The maximum score of knowledge score was about 19, range 16, mean 10.54, standard deviation ± 4.20 and the mean percentage was 13. The computed chi-square value chi-square value computed between the level of knowledge and selected demographic variables i.e. age (22=1.093) Religion (22=2.155), Type of family (22=2.614), number of children below 5 years of age (22=.398) educational status (23=1.840) of the mothers and whether the child met with any type of accidents (21=.368) not significant at 0.05 level of significance. Thus, it can be interpreted that there is no significant association between knowledge of mothers of under five children and selected variables. Knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of home accidents was moderately adequate. Under five home accidents are common in India and it is necessary to take adequate precautions to prevent it. Educating mothers is the best way to prevent under five accidents at home.

Published: December 2021

How are Industry 4.0 investments distributed across Italian regions and sectors? Which are the main drivers of diffusion? To address these questions, in this study we exploit rich firm survey data on the adoption of the new digital technologies and examine their adoption patterns. On the one hand, we produce novel insights into the drivers of structural change in the Italian economy, and on the other, we provide evidence on the technological upgrading of Italy's production capacity that is relevant for policy. The results of econometric tests on region-sector pairs indicate that corporate governance characteristics, innovation patterns and type of industrial relations are significant predictors of the uneven regional and sectoral distribution of Industry 4.0 investments.

Authors: Lossovskyi Ihor
Published: December 2021

The article attempts to analyze Ukraine's current efforts to counter Russian aggression at a wide range of diplomatic platforms. Based on the author's analysis of various diplomatic tracks, specific proposals are made to optimize and coordinate the necessary actions of Ukraine to ensure security and sovereignty, restore its territorial integrity within Ukraine`s internationally recognized borders, in the current geopolitical conditions in the world and European region. The author proposes to focus on the complex threefold task of joint proper realization of the three components of priority political and security efforts of Ukraine: fullfleged implementation of the Budapest Memorandum, in accordance with the assurances guarantees provided to Ukraine by five nuclear states – UN SC permanent members (the USA, UK, France, Russia and China); deployment of the UN International Peacekeeping Operation in Eastern Ukraine, which will consist of three important integral components: the international military peacekeeping contingent; a transitional international civil administration that will act as a temporary international local «government»; international transitional police and justice, whose responsibilities will include the formation of a local law enforcement and judicial system in accordance with international law and the legislation of Ukraine. The third important component ("pillar") of Ukraine's afforts to ensure security, sovereignty and territorial integrity in its counteraction to Russian aggression should be the continued active involvement of OSCE mechanisms, norms, principles and institutions. The article analyzes in detail the role and contribution of this Organization in ensuring the security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.

Authors: Yurkiv Nadia , Danylyshyn Bohdan
Published: December 2021

The relevance of the publication is due to the need to analyze the effectiveness of the Deposit Guarantee Scheme developed in Ukraine in the context of identified problems related to the clearing of the banking system of Ukraine by withdrawing from the market «schematic» and under-capitalized banks that had poor credit portfolios. The purpose of the article is to investigate the problems of the activity of the Deposit Guarantee Fund in Ukraine and to substantiate recommendations and measures for the improvement of this system. Research methods: terminological and statistical analysis, comparison, logical generalization, analysis, synthesis. The limits of the study: the analysis is limited by the study of internal factors for the period 2013–2018, as well as the available statistical information as of November 2019.The analysis of the main problems of the DGF activities has allowed to identify the key ones, which are currently: incorrect definition of the objectives of the Deposit Guarantee Scheme in Ukraine, which are enshrined in the DGF Development Strategy for 2013–2017; the lack of adequate interaction of the deposit guarantee system with other elements of the system of ensuring financial stability; limited resources of the Fund and lack of tools for profitable placement of own funds; a small amount of the guaranteed deposit amount for bank deposits and a limited number of claimants for reimbursement.The results of the analysis suggested ways to ensure approximation of national banking legislation to guarantee deposits to the requirements of the European Union, in particular to Directive 2014/49/EU and 2014/59/EU: clarification of legal terminology (definition of terms «unavailable contribution»; «contributory contribution»; «guarantee»; «target level»; «low risk assets», etc.); attribution to the main task of the Fund the protection of the rights of all contributors, including legal entities, financial institutions, etc. with the corresponding extension of the Fund's powers; changes to the Fund's financing system and investment principles of the Deposit Guarantee Scheme in line with EU standards, etc.The findings and recommendations obtained from the analysis will have a positive effect on improving the efficiency of the deposit guarantee system in Ukraine and bringing it closer to EU requirements.

RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA IN THE POLISH INFOSPHERE – CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Marek Michał
Published: December 2021

The publication addresses the issue of stimulation through private media companies and foreign entities of anxiety and social tensions on the wave of the Covid19 pandemic. The publication presents the process of influence of environments permanently involved in the process of disinformation, in activities serving to intensify social polarization and the effects of the crisis as a result of activity in the Internet space. An important element of the publication is to indicate the relationship between the described centers of influence spreading harmful content and their participation in the popularization of content convergent with the messages of Russian disinformation centers. The presented material is based on the analysis of content posted by portals identified as permanently involved in the process of popularization of Russian disinformation narratives. The aim of the article is to show the threat to social order resulting from the activities of unrestricted alternative portals influencing, among other things, social networks. The activity of the indicated environments, which seem to be partially copying the Russian information agenda, is shown as an element of activities destabilizing the modern country and society. The paper lists the specific aspects influenced by these environments, and emphasises the connection between these aspects and the goals of Kremlin policy (specific narratives and the goals they are supposed to pursue are indicated). Portals and examples of publications are also listed. The analysis aims to identify the threat to contemporary European society posed by the lack of adequate country control over the Internet (especially social networks) – this issue is examined in the context of attempts to exploit this condition by an external factor for hostile activity.
cão aos olhos (da mente) de Darwin
Authors: Carvalho André Luis de Lima , Waizbort Ricardo
Published: December 2021

Este artigo discute a importância do tema da mente animal na argumentação de Charles Darwin em defesa de sua teoria evolutiva. Para tal, lançamos mão de um estudo de caso, acompanhando o “cão de Darwin” em páginas de sua obra. Procuramos demonstrar: 1) que, no discurso de Darwin, a questão da mente animal está intimamente ligada à teoria darwiniana da origem comum (common descent); e 2) que o cão descrito pelo naturalista, como protótipo do animal darwiniano, detém uma vida mental e subjetiva complexa, com elementos de continuidade e de descontinuidade em relação à percepção dos animais no imaginário da Inglaterra vitoriana.

O personagem Manuel Ferreira da Câmara ficou conhecido na historiografia pelo seu perfil político, sobretudo por sua atuação como parlamentar no período da Independência. Sua trajetória histórica, contudo, caracteriza-se pela associação entre os interes-ses políticos e a face de estudioso das ciências naturais. Câmara realizou, a pedido do gover-no português, uma viagem científica por diversas regiões da Europa Central e Setentrional (1790-1798), onde visitou importantes regiões mineiras e freqüentou renomadas escolas de mineração. No contexto dessa viagem, elaborou dois artigos sobre as obsidianas (vidro vulcânico) da Ilha de Kandia que permaneceram em língua alemã até os dias de hoje. Dada a importância dos artigos, uma vez que neles podemos observar o envolvimento do autor nas controvérsias geológicas no período do final do século XVIII e início do XIX, decidimos traduzi-los para o português de modo a que mais pesquisadores possam ter acesso.

Quatro textos e algumas idéias sobre o papel da tradução da e “astrolomia” na expansão marítima portuguesa nos anos quatrocentistas e quinhentistas
Authors: Machado Cristina de Amorim
Published: December 2021

Os anos quatrocentistas e quinhentistas em Portugal são reconhecidos como um período de muitas traduções, que decerto impulsionaram e igualmente foram impulsionadas pelo desenvolvimento náutico. Um fator que também se pode destacar na expansão marítima é a forte presença de astrólogos árabes e judeus na região, apesar de a astrologia, nesse cenário, ainda estar amalgamada à astronomia, tratando-se, portanto, de uma “astrolomia”. Neste artigo, analisaremos quatro textos desse período, que, articulados por algumas idéias, podem revelar o importante papel da tradução na transmissão dos textos científicos, além de explicitar um pouco mais os próprios conceitos de tradução e ciência.
Circunstâncias da Cartografia no Brasil oitocentista e a necessidade de uma Carta Geral do Império
Authors: Souza Bruno Rangel Capilé de , Vergara Moema de Rezende
Published: December 2021

Na década de 1860, diversas iniciativas cartográficas foram organizadas em torno do recém-criado Ministério da Agricultura, do Comércio e das Obras Públicas. Mesmo com a presença de instituições e funcionários militares, a criação dessas empreitadas simbolizou a crescente necessidade de conhecimento do território pelo governo imperial. O presente trabalho visa refletir sobre estas iniciativas cartográficas, e de que modo os agentes da época buscaram confeccionar mapas mais adequados às estratégias administrativas e de representação de uma imagem territorial, que culminou com a Carta Geral do Império publicada em 1875 e 1876.

Ciência, imaginário e civilização em Couto de Magalhães
Authors: Borges Luiz Carlos , Medina Manuela Brêtas de , Monteiro Lívia Nascimento
Published: December 2021

A Ciência no Brasil oitocentista concentrava-se em indivíduos que, por diletantismo ou profissão, faziam do território brasileiro o objeto de seus estudos. Muitos deles, enquanto súditos ilustrados, dividiam-se, tal qual Couto de Magalhães, entre as atividades de Estado e as de Ciência. Este artigo analisa o discurso científico desse autor, com base em sua obra O selvagem, publicada em 1876 e comissionada pelo imperador Dom Pedro II. Essa obra expressa um ideário de nação, no qual os povos indígenas desempenham um papel central, pois é a partir do aproveitamento de suas qualidades e da apropriação de seu conhecimento que o Brasil, como nação civilizada e integrada, poderia ser construído.

Observando afinidades entre matemática, discurso e outras manifestações da nossa cultura, buscamos evidenciar que: (1) As disciplinas, por si só, não dão conta de cumprir com questões que elas próprias se propõem. Para fazerem isso, demandam a participação de outros conhecimentos, no escopo de outras disciplinas. Sendo assim, não há entidades “puras”, plenamente concebidas dentro de uma disciplina. (2) Modos de pensamento se configuram a partir da conjuntura histórica, no fluxo dos acontecimentos de um tempo em um lugar. Destes modos de pensamento se derivam os conceitos que são enunciados nas diferentes disciplinas. Uma vez expressos no jargão disciplinar, estes não deixam transparecer o seu caráter situado, independentes das fronteiras disciplinares. A partir destas constatações propomos uma leitura desdisciplinar daquilo que seria dito matemático.
Entre livros, lentes e miasmas

Esse artigo propõe uma discussão sobre a produção das teses médicas apresentadas à Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro que dissertaram acerca do cólera-morbus à época em que a epidemia chegou ao Brasil (c.1855). Interessa-nos perceber a influência de determinados autores estrangeiros, lentes da Faculdade, paradigmas médicos, além dos cânones impostos (principal através dos Estatutos) para a confecção do trabalho de final de curso dos “doutorandos”. Esses olhares nos aproximam de algumas questões pertinentes à história da leitura e do livro que, apenas mais recentemente, têm sido pensadas pelos historiadores que se debruçam sobre o “livro médico”. Além disso, buscamos perceber como os “doutorandos” se posicionavam em relação às descrições e “enquadramentos” da “epidemia reinante”, especialmente no que versa sobre sua sintomatologia e as causas apresentadas para sua aquisição.
Similitudes y diferencias entre dos propuestas dominantes de la enseñanza de las ciencias en la Argentina en las primeras décadas del siglo XX
Authors: Reichenbach Cecilia Von , Cappannini Osvaldo
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo intenta aportar a comprender las condiciones en que la física fue enseñada en las primeras décadas del siglo XX en la escuela media Argentina. Se analizan dos de los manuales más difundidos en el país: un texto europeo y uno criollo: el “Tratado elemental de física” de Adolphe Ganot y Gustav Maneuvrier y los “Apuntes de física” de Tebaldo Ricaldoni. Se consideran semejanzas y diferencias desde distintos aspectos: origen y preparación de los autores, grado de actualización respecto de los últimos adelantos científicos, perspectiva pedagógica, contexto socio educativo en el que fueron publicados los textos, e impacto de la difusión de los mismos. Se profundiza el análisis en cuanto a contenidos disciplinares, centrándolo en las ondas electromagnéticas, relacionándolas con modelos de interacción entre materia y radiación, por tratarse de un tema de notables avances, científicos y tecnológicos, en esa época.
“O Novo Commércio Oswáldico”
Authors: Silva Matheus Alves Duarte da
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo acompanha o estabelecimento de medidas de saúde pública contra a peste bubônica centradas na caça e na destruição dos ratos em São Paulo e no Rio de Janeiro. O argumento central do texto é que não se tratou de uma mera aplicação de uma teoria europeia no Brasil ou da difusão de um conhecimento produzido no exterior e adotado no país. Ao contrário, defende-se que a adoção dessas medidas, simbolizada na figura do “ratoeiro”, no Rio de Janeiro, foi fruto de uma circulação de conhecimento, posto que determinados saberes sobre a doença desenvolvidos por pesquisadores europeus na Índia, como Paul-Louis Simond, foram reconfigurados no Brasil e voltaram modificados para a Europa.

Background: Malaria is a parasite that is transmitted to human through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. Every year human was exposed to the threat of malaria infection. This disease becomes more fatal as these parasites show resistance towards the drug available. Thus, searches for new antimalarial drug are crucial. This study was carried out to evaluate the antimalarial activity in Canarium odontophyllum leaf extracts (methanol, acetone and aqueous) against erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium berghei NK65 using Plasmodium Lactate Dehydrogenase (pLDH) Assay and SYBR green I fluorescence Assay. Method: Three types of solvents were used to extracts Canarium odontophyllum leaf according to increasing polarity index; acetone, methanol and aqueous. These extracts were made into eight-fold serial dilution; concentrations ranging from 0.00001μg / ml as the lowest concentration until 100 μg / ml as the highest concentration and further tested on Plasmodium berghei NK65 infected erythrocytes via ex-vivo. The IC50 (inhibition concentration) 50 readings were taken at the point of 5% parasitemia level and in the synchronization process. Both PLDH assay and SYBR green I fluorescence assay were being carried out simultaneously. Result: The One-way ANOVA showed that there is no significant difference between extracts at 5% parasitemia level, even so methanol was further tested on synchronization process as it showed the lowest reading of IC50 among the three extracts for PLDH assay and SYBR green I fluorescence assay respectively, (IC50 0.00045μg / ml, 0.002 μg / ml). For synchronization stages, the One-way ANOVA result showed there is no significant difference between stages of morphology. However, methanol extracts showed the most potent on schizont, (1.16x10-5 μg / ml ) and young trophozoite, (0.00195 μg / ml ) stages for each method respectively. Conclusions: All three extracts of Canarium odontophyllum leaf were effective on Plasmodium berghei NK65, however methanol showed most promising results and further research on the fractions were required for proper drug development.

Le storie degli animali nel Corano di Ahmad Bahgat: Quando gli animali prendono la parola
Authors: Tebbini Nadia
Published: December 2021

Nella letteratura di ispirazione islamica, i racconti delle vite dei profeti hanno sempre messo in rilievo il contributo degli animali, seppur relegato a una posizione secondaria e ausiliare a quella dell’uomo. A ciò fa eccezione la raccolta Qiṣaṣ al ḥayawān fil Qur’ān (Le storie degli animali nel Corano) dello scrittore e giornalista egiziano Ahmad Bahgat. Nei suoi 16 racconti, ispirati agli episodi coranici che hanno visto animali al centro di miracoli e prodigi, i protagonisti sono gli animali che raccontano come in un diario, in prima persona e dal loro punto di vista, la vicenda riportata nel Corano. Per la prima volta si fa luce sulle loro esistenze, senza che queste vengano eclissate da quelle degli esseri umani con cui sono stati in contatto. È quindi interessante analizzare la rappresentazione degli animali nell’opera e coglierne l’originalità. La prima parte sarà dedicata alle fonti dell’opera e alle implicazioni che queste hanno sul tessuto narrativo. La seconda parte sarà invece focalizzata sulla scelta dell’animale come mezzo per aggirare il tabù islamico (religione iconoclasta) della rappresentazione dei Profeti, operando una sovrapposizione (parziale o totale, nel corpo e nello spirito) tra il profeta e l’animale. La terza parte tratterà dell’animale/virtù in quanto doppio invertito dell’uomo/vizio e sul conseguente smantellamento dei pregiudizi su alcuni animali nella cultura arabo-musulmana.

Breaking the Paradigm of Sensing, Seizing, and Transforming - Evidence from Axel Springer
Authors: Leemann Niklaus , Kanbach Dominik , Stubner Stephan
Published: December 2021

Dynamic capabilities have typically been conceptualized as sensing, seizing, and transforming. This article explores the interplay of these procedural dimensions employing a longitudinal case study of Axel Springer, a leading media corporation that has exercised dynamic capabilities to convert from a print publisher to an internet company. Insightful evidence is produced from interviews with current and former top managers. The case study shows iterations, overlaps, and interconnections between sensing, seizing, and transforming. Sensing-by-seizing is introduced as a dynamic capability to seize concrete opportunities while concurrently sensing them. A conceptual model furnishes implications and recommendations for managerial decision-making.
Forgotten Personal Territories in the Traditional Iranian House: A Critical Reading
Authors: Valibeigi Mojtaba , Danay Sara , Mokhtari Yegane
Published: December 2021

This study aims to investigate the critical reading individual areas on traditional Iranian house. The method of this research is a deductive content analysis. This research has done in three steps; preparation, organization and final report or conclusion. First, in the preparation stage, the individual and family territory in Iranian culture is defined. In organization phase, by reviewing plans, maps and visual observations of Iranian houses, individual and family territories is classified. And in the last steps, a conclusion from the situation of privacy and individuality in Iranian house is explained. It seems that family privacy has been the main function of traditional Iranian houses. Despite the spaces which could be as a personal and individuality territories, they didn’t get this functions and individualism and individual values have been forgotten. Accordingly, individuality is not considered as a valuable being who needs his/her own territory, but his/her role is determined in relation to other people and values like veil, purity, cooperation and humility are given importance.
Comparison of Generalized Extreme Value, Log Normal and Weibull Distributions for Assessment of Low-Flow
Authors: Vivekanandan N.
Published: December 2021

Assessment of low-flow is an important aspect for water quality management, reservoir storage design, determining minimum release policy and safe surface water withdrawals. For which, the annual minimum d-day average flow is generally adopted procedure for characterizing the low-flow in a stream, which can be obtained by averaging the flow using moving average method for ‘d’ consecutive days viz., 7-, 10-, 14- and 30- days. This paper presents a study on comparison of three probability distributions such as Generalized Extreme Value, 2-parameter Log Normal (LN2) and Weibull adopted in estimation of low-flow for river Cauvery at Kollegal gauging site. The parameters are determined by three methods viz., method of moments, maximum likelihood method and L-Moments (LMO), and are used for estimation of low-flow. The adequacy of fitting probability distributions adopted in low-flow frequency analysis is evaluated by quantitative assessment through Goodness-of-Fit (viz., Chi-Square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov) and diagnostic (viz., correlation coefficient and root mean squared error) tests, and qualitative assessment using the fitted curves of the estimated low-flow. The results of quantitative and qualitative assessments indicate that LN2 (LMO) is better suited amongst three distributions adopted in estimation of 7-, 10-, 14- and 30- day low-flows for river Cauvery at Kollegal site.
