Authors: Bąk Iwona
Published: October 2023

The aim of article is to select a set of variables that affect decisions about the size of the expenditure incurred on recreation and culture in households of pensioners in Poland. The basis of the information of researches were unidentifiable microdata on income and expenditure of individual households from the household budget survey conducted in 2009 by the GUS (Central Statistical Office) which were associated with the results of a survey ”Tourism and recreation in households” conducted by the GUS in the same year. The integrated data set consisted of 1,308 households of pensioners. The study takes into account, first of all, the categorization variables and therefore to a ”best” set of factors characterizing household spending on recreation and culture used log-linear analysis. Using log-linear model has enabled more precise description of the relationships between categorization variables compared with indicators used to assess the quality characteristics of interdependence. In addition, log-linear analysis allowed to assess the impact of interactions between variables.

The significance of typography in the linguistic landscape during the Fascist period in Italy 1922–1943
Authors: Coluzzi Paolo
Published: October 2023

This paper discusses the use of lettering and typeface in the linguistic landscape in Italy during the Fascist period (1922–1943), focusing on inscriptions on public buildings and the lettering used in propaganda posters and other materials. After a general introduction, some definitions, and an overview of Italian Fascism, the paper introduces the methodology employed, which consists first of an analysis of the lettering used in Fascist public writings and their link to ancient Rome on the one hand and modernity on the other, and second of a simple test carried out among a sample of students at Universiti Malaya (Malaysia) to investigate their perception of 'Fascist' fonts. There follows an analysis and discussion of the data, which leads to the conclusion that some of the ideas behind this right-wing movement seem to be portrayed by the specific lettering and fonts used. Finally, these conclusions are compared to those arrived at in previous research on fonts

Published: October 2023

This research focuses on exploring the aftermath and diverse impacts of writing anxiety experienced by prospective nonlanguage teachers. The study primarily delves into the levels and types of writing anxiety that disrupt the academic performance and personal pursuits of future educators. The participants in this study encompassed 165 students pursuing majors unrelated to language, such as Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics (BSED Math), Bachelor of Culture and Arts Education (BCAED), and Bachelor of Special Needs Education (BSNED). To ensure accurate data collection, the study employed assessment tools, namely, the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) and the Causes of Writing Anxiety Inventory (CWAI), both exhibiting high-reliability scores of .757 and .936, respectively. Employing one-way ANOVA, the collected data were subjected to statistical analysis. The findings of the study indicated that the participants consistently experienced heightened anxiety levels in writing. The investigation also revealed that among the various types of writing-related anxiety, cognitive anxiety emerged as the most prominent, followed by somatic anxiety and avoidance behavior. Furthermore, the study identified time constraints and the pressure to achieve perfection as the two most prevalent causes of writing anxiety among the participants. The conclusions drawn from these findings are extensively discussed within the study, shedding light on the implications for both educators and students in a nonmetropolitan state university.
On a first order linear singular differential equation in the space K’
Authors: Adji Abdourahman Haman , Dmitrievna Shankishvili Lamara
Published: October 2023

We propose in this work to describe all the generalized-function solutions of the non-homogeneous first-order linear singular differential equation with A, B two real numbers, s and p∈N, n ≥ 1, q∈Z+, in the space of generalized functions K’. In the case of a second right-hand side consisting of an s-order derivative of the Dirac-delta function, we have completely investigated the considered equation when we look for the solution in the form of y(x)=∑k=0NCkδ(k)(x), with the unknown coefficients Ck which we have determined case by case, taking into account the relationship between the parameters inside. On the basis of what has been done, we focus our present research on applying the principle of superposition of the solutions that is conducting us to the awaited result when we also maintain the classical solutions of the homogeneous equation which remains the same.

Authors: DEMİRCİ Cavide , ÇELİK Sedef
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of technology-enhanced foreign language teaching on the English attitude of special talented individuals. Within the framework of the research, activities were prepared and applied to teach the goals set for gifted individuals more efficiently and permanently with the help of various technical tools. Also, the effects of these practices on students' English attitudes were examined. In the research mixed method was carried out. In line with the purposeful sample selection for the research, a total of 30 6th and 7th grade students studying at Bilecik Science and Art Center participated. In the study, the Attitude towards English Scale developed by Orakcı (2017) was used to measure the English attitude of gifted individuals. The SPSS program for the analysis of quantitative data, paired sampled t-test analysis, totals and averages and for the analysis of qualitative data, induction and content analysis were used. The results of the research reveal that technology-supported alternative teaching methods have a significant effect on increasing students' attitudes towards the English course in a positive way. It is emphasized that the technology-assisted language teaching method discussed within the scope of the study has the potential to be an important alternative to traditional teaching environments in English teaching in terms of students' vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
Microwave-Induced Plasma To Recondition Scrap Particles For Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Ruiz Alberto , Plantà Torralba Xavier , Hernández Rossi Ricardo , Vilaseca Llosada Montserrat
Published: October 2023

The use of microwaves is one of the techniques utilised in industrial environments which allow time and energy reductions. One of the most interesting aspects is the production or treatment of materials, either as raw material or as residue, using a microwave-induced plasma (MIP) torch. In particular, this technology allows the modification of the particles' shape with origin in waste or rejections, either as scrap or powder, reintroducing them effectively in the powder industry. We can mention other advantages such as cost reduction in powder generation or cost reduction in transportation because it is possible to use a waste powder "in situ". The scaling and power of the equipment allow their ubication near the production place, optimizing processing times. This article is a fast overview of several works realised to recover some waste production with tungsten carbide as central axis.

Struktur und Inhalt des Verwaltungsplanungsrechtssystem für die Verwirklichung der rechtsstaatliche Verwaltung
Authors:   Korean Administrative Law Association, Kang Hyun Ho
Published: October 2023

In dieser Arbeit geht es nicht darum, die Probleme spezifischer Einzelgesetze im Zusammenhang mit der Verwaltungsplanungsgesetzgebung in Korea im Detail zu erfassen, sondern vielmehr darum, ein Gesamtbild aus der Perspektive der rechtsstaatlichen Verwaltung in Bezug auf die Verwaltungsplanungsgesetzgebung zu zeichnen. Hinsichtlich der rechtlichen Natur des Verwaltungsplans stand der Verwaltungsakt-Charakter im Vordergrund, aber auch der gesetzgeberische Aspekt seines Inhalts sollte berücksichtigt werden. Denn so betrachtet ist es möglich, die Phasen des Plans zu kontrollieren. Wie bei der rechtlichen Phasentheorie ist auch auf die Steuerung der Verwaltungsplanung auf der Grundlage der Planungsphasentheorie zu achten. Der Inhalt der rechtsstaatlichen Verwaltung kann zwar unterschiedlich sein, aber die wichtigsten Elemente sind Einfachheit, Klarheit und Vorhersehbarkeit. Daher ist es notwendig, das Verwaltungsplanungsrechtssystem auf einheitliche und systematische Weise neu zu organisieren. Aus Sicht der rechtsstaatlichen Verwaltung muss das Verwaltungsplanungssystem drei Säulen als Grundpfeiler etablieren: die Verwaltungsplanungsphase, die Verwaltungsausführungsphase und die Verwaltungsmanagementphase. Mit diesen Säulen als Mittelpunkt wird die vorläufige Bezeichnung „Einheitliche Bauordnung nach koreanischem Vorbild“ gefordert. Im Hinblick auf die konkreten Inhalte des Verwaltungsplanungsrechts ist eine einfache Institutionalisierung der Planungsphasen in drei Phasen erforderlich. Die praktische Beteiligung der Interessenträger an der Erstellung des Plans sollte sichergestellt werden. Es ist notwendig, den Zusammenhang zwischen Planung und Umwelt stärker herzustellen. Es ist auch erforderlich, die für die Aufstellung oder Entscheidung eines Verwaltungsplans erforderlichen gesetzlichen Grundlagen im Verwaltungsplanungsrecht näher darzustellen. Damit die als Verwaltungsplan bezeichneten Verwaltungsmittel ordnungsgemäß funktionieren, ist es notwendig, das Vertrauen in den Verwaltungsplan zu schützen. Es ist notwendig, den Namen in „Integrierte-Genehmigungs-Verfahrensklausel“ anstelle von „Genehmigungsfiktion“ zu ändern. Gefordert wird auch die Schaffung eines neuen Verwaltungsplanungsrechtssystems.

NASI KAPAU AS GASTRONOMIC TOURISM ATTRACTION IN WEST SUMATRA
Authors: Mardiyah Siti , Yanthy Putu Sucita , Antara I Ketut
Published: October 2023

Nasi kapau is a famous culinary delight from West Sumatra. This cuisine is also well-known with the 'Uni'  as the sellers. The 'Uni', or the female merchant, sells nasi kapau in a unique and distinguished way. Nasi kapau has developed into a culinary tourism attraction in West Sumatra in Los Lambuang and Nagari Kapau. This research aims to analyze the element of nasi kapau to improve the cuisine as a gastronomic tourism attraction in West Sumatra. This research uses a qualitative descriptive analysis method. In-depth interviews was done to five women that have experience in selling nasi kapau over 27 years. This research indicates the need for a development strategy to develop nasi kapau as a gastronomy tourism attraction. Storytelling is required to complete the missing gastronomy triangle to market nasi kapau. Collaborative governance is also essential in stakeholder collaboration in achieving research objectives. Empowering the community as human resources in tourism is also vital in developing nasi kapau as gastronomy tourism. Nasi kapau is already a renowned culinary attraction, but to elevate the cuisine into becoming gastronomic tourism attraction, certain measures are required as a strategic development to achieve this objective

Mycotoxin source and its exposure causing mycotoxicoses
Authors:   Department of Biology, College of Sciences, University of Hail, Hail, Saudi Arabia, Alshammari Nawaf
Published: October 2023

Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by fungi such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Fusarium spp., and mushrooms. They are present in the mycelium or in the spores of the fungus. They cause human health problems once ingested. This is common in countries with high ambient temperature and relative humidity such as in the tropical regions. The consumption of moldy food and feeds are injurious to people and animals. The linked acute and chronic diseases target organs in humans and animals. The clinical symptoms depend on the intrinsic toxic features of the mycotoxin, the quantity, and length of exposure. The diseases caused by ingesting mycotoxins are reffred as mycotoxicoses. Therefore, it is of interest to document known data on the mycotoxin source and its exposure causing human hazards leading to mycotoxicoses.

Diabetic nephropathy/diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the leading causes of renal failure. Early identification of the development or progression of diabetic nephropathy using appropriate screening and diagnostic tools is very important in order to provide timely and proper management. Inflammation plays a crucial role in development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of inflammatory markers (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio-NLR) as an early indicator to prevent the progression of diabetic kidney disease. A total of 158 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were distributed into three groups according urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Levels of inflammatory markers neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was recorded and compared among the three groups. Significant differences were detected between the groups in terms of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.000).Characteristic curve analysis of inflammatory markers and microalbuminuria prediction demonstrated an area under curve (AUC) of 0.869 for neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.000). A NLR cut-off point of 2.2 has 72.3 % sensitivity and 78.1 % specificity, which suggested sufficient accuracy. Increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was significantly correlated with diabetic nephropathy progression and increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio can be considered as an early indicator and a prognostic risk marker of diabetic nephropathy.

The ABO and Rh blood group phenotypes, alleles, and genotype frequencies have many biological and medical implications. The frequency differs broadly according to races, geographical borders and ethnicity, even within the same region. This study was designed to determine the frequency of ABO and Rh blood groups among blood donors attending the regional blood transfusion centre in Delhi. The gel card method was used to determine the ABO and Rh(D) blood groups of donors who donated blood between January 1, 2020, and June 30, 2022. The assumption of Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was used to determine allele and genotype frequencies of blood donors. A total of 16,925 blood units were donated during the study period. Donors phenotype frequencies of ABO were as follows: ‘A’ (23.88%), ‘B’ (37.38%), ‘AB’ (9.97%) and ‘O ’(29.27%). Rh(D)+Ve (D) were (94.9%) and Rh(D)-Ve (d) were (5.01%), which follow an order of B > O > A > AB and Rh-D > d for Rh. Donors ABO and Rh (D) allele frequencies were IA-0.183, IB-0.277, IO-0.541 and ID-0.776, Id-0.224 respectively. Allele frequencies follow an order of IO > IB > IA and Rh- ID > Id. Donors ABO genotype frequencies were AA-0.0333, AO-0.198, BB-0.0768, BO-0.30, AB-0.101, OO-0.293 and Rh(D) genotype frequencies were DD-0.602, Dd-0.347, dd-0.0501. Genotype frequencies follow an order of BO > OO > AO > AB > BB > AA and DD > Dd > dd. Among our donors, which were mostly from northern India, the ABO and Rh(D) blood groups have the highest proportion of ABO-B and Rh(D)+Ve and the lowest proportion of ABO-AB and Rh(D)-Ve, with a stable order of B > O > A > AB and D > d for phenotype, IO > IB > IA and ID > Id for allele and BO > OO > AO > AB > BB > AA and DD > Dd > dd for genotype.

Academic procrastination is one of the significant issues among students in universities. The study aimed to understand the Eidetic Parents Test (EPT) implementation and its effectiveness on Academic Procrastination among university students. Ten participants were selected and the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (Tuckman, 1991) was administered. The Eidetic Parents Test was conducted, and post-intervention scores for Academic Procrastination were taken on the Tuckman Procrastination Scale (Tuckman, 1991). Data was analyzed using a paired-sample t-test. The study's results revealed a significant difference between the levels of Academic Procrastination after (M=59.60, SD=2.70) and before the intervention (M=38.00, SD=4.24). Nonparametric analysis through Wilcoxon signed-rank test depicted a non-significant difference among males and females on the Academic Procrastination Scale. The Eidetic Parents Test (EPT) is an effective intervention in reducing the levels of Academic Procrastination among university students. Therefore, it has been suggested that EPT can be used as an intervention for Academic Procrastination.
A Question of Support: Assessing a Composition Learning Community for Student Learning and academic success
Authors: Varty Nicole G.
Published: October 2023

Learning Communities (LCs) represent a high impact practice in higher education with marked benefits for all stakeholders. In general education composition courses, learning communities can provide key support for students. This paper provides an example of a mixed-methods assessment design, and its consequent revision due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, investigating whether and how a composition learning community supports student learning and academic success. Comparing LC and non-LC courses, as well as online and in-person courses, the results of this study find significant increases in academic success for students in face-to-face (or in-person) LC courses, and no significant increases for students in online LC courses. Engaging in a robust assessment cycle provided the key evidence both for areas where our composition learning community is succeeding in its goals, as well as important areas for improvement, particularly in the current era of increasingly turning to online educational modes.

Published: October 2023

Meaningfully engaging faculty in assessment presents a continual challenge for general education administrators. Faculty perceptions of assessment—including that assessment serves no purpose other than “checking a box” for accreditation and that it conveys little benefit to the instructor—often hinder instructor engagement. A low-cost assessment mini-grant program can overcome these misperceptions, increasing faculty engagement with both the assessment process and the general education program. In this article, a general education administrator describes the structure, delivery, and results of an assessment mini-grant program, and three faculty members share how their participation in the program shaped their teaching and improved their perceptions of—and engagement with—general education assessment.
