Albert Bitzius‘ Engagement für die Volksschule
Authors: Hofer Markus
Published: November 2024

Albert Bitzius, alias Jeremias Gotthelf (1797-1854), was a clergyman, school inspector, writer and journalist who campaigned with great commitment for the improvement of primary schools in the canton of Berne. This source-based study analyses his positions in the educational policy conflicts of the time and examines the strategies he pursued in order to achieve his goals. The historian and Germanist Markus Hofer demonstrates that Bitzius had a much more significant influence on the development of the school system at local, regional and cantonal level than previously assumed. At the same time, Hofer shows how Bitzius incorporates his positions on school policy into the novel "Leiden und Freuden eines Schulmeisters" (1838/1839), which was enthusiastically received by the pedagogical thinkers of the time.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates land use and land cover changes (LULCC) in the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) from 1985 to 2017, highlighting significant reductions in forestland, ericaceous land, and grassland, with a marked increase in agricultural areas. The landscape metrics revealed increased habitat fragmentation and edge effects, negatively impacting biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Five distinct plant community types were identified, demonstrating varying levels of species richness and diversity. Soil analyses indicated degradation in edge habitats compared to interior areas. The study underscores the need for robust conservation strategies, including enhanced forest protection, land restoration, sustainable agriculture, and long-term habitat monitoring. Recommendations emphasize community involvement, soil conservation, and policy support to mitigate LULCC impacts and promote sustainable management of the BMNP, ensuring the preservation of its unique biodiversity and ecological integrity. These measures aim to balance conservation with the socio-economic needs of local communities.

Authors: Dash Jyotirmayee , Raj Sidharth , Jana Arun , Pillai Vijay , Singh Akshita , Raghavan Nisheena
Published: November 2024

In the pursuit of improved accuracy in medical diagnostics and treatment, Terahertz (THz) technology has emerged as a powerful tool for precise margin detection, particularly in oncology. This chapter explores the cutting-edge advancements in THz imaging and spectroscopy, emphasizing their potential to delineate tumor margins with unprecedented precision. THz waves, with their unique interaction with biological tissues, offer a non-invasive and highly sensitive approach to distinguishing between healthy and malignant tissues. The ability of THz technology to provide real-time, label-free imaging makes it a promising candidate for intraoperative use, potentially reducing the rates of incomplete resection and recurrence. We discuss the principles underlying THz imaging, its integration into clinical workflows, and the challenges that must be addressed to fully realize its potential. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the transformative impact of THz technology on margin detection, paving the way for more accurate, personalized, and effective surgical interventions.
The Effect of Increasing Aerobic Exercise on the Expression of NF-κB and COX-2 Genes in Heart Tissue of Rats Under a High-fat Diet
Authors: Farahbakhsh Flora , Khanmohamadi Rahmatulah
Published: November 2024

Background: Several studies have shown that obesity alters the function and structure of the heart. Objectives: This study examined the impact of increasing aerobic exercise (IAE) on the mRNA expression of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) in the cardiac tissue of rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into two groups and fed two types of diets for eight weeks: Control and HFD groups. After eight weeks, the rats on the HFD were further divided into HFD and HFD + IAE groups. The exercise program was conducted for six weeks, with five sessions per week, progressing from moderate to high intensity. The program followed the principle of gradual overload and was based on the maximum speed of the rats. The expression of COX-2 and NF-κB genes was assessed. Results: The expression of COX-2 and NF-κB genes increased in the HFD group compared to the control group. After six weeks, the expression of NF-κB and COX-2 genes decreased in the HFD + IAE group compared to the HFD group. Conclusions: Six weeks of IAE appears to reduce the inflammatory process in rats with HFD-induced obesity.
Ekonomický růst, nerůst a scénáře možných budoucností
Authors: Nováček Pavel
Published: November 2024

The values which people hold are influencing not only present behaviour, but also our future. Research conducted by Ronald Inglehart in the second half of the 20th century tried to capture the shift from material to post-material values in economically developed and prosperous countries. This leads us to the principal dilemma. How to maintain world ecosystems and the human environment in reasonable quality in times of growing consumption needs and desires of more than eight billion people? The threat of climate change brought James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia hypothesis, to formulate “sustainable retreat” as an alternative to sustainable development. The concept of “degrowth” is an alternative idea aimed at unsustainable human activities. Degrowth seems to be similar to the “zero growth” idea proposed in the first report to the Club of Rome Limits to Growth in 1972. We are entering times of turbulent change. Therefore, it makes sense to be interested in the future. In this contribution we suggest seven ideas for alternative scenarios of the future.
Sociální hodnota krajiny a její (ne)zobrazování na Východním Sepiku (Papua Nová Guinea): příklad „storyboards“
Authors: Lužný Dušan
Published: November 2024

The study focuses on the current modification of the carving tradition in the East Sepik region of Papua New Guinea, where local carvers began producing storyboards around the 1970s. These depict everyday scenes from the lives of the natives as well as mythological stories. Based on Hana Librová’s concept of the social value of landscape, the author identifies the absence of aesthetic depictions of landscape in East Sepik art and seeks to provide an explanation for the origins of storyboards and their form. He highlights the influence of Christianization and tourism on local culture, traditions and artistic production.
Dobrovolně skromní a nerůstoví: úvahy o setkávání a míjení mezi životním způsobem a změnou systému
Authors: Fraňková Eva
Published: November 2024

The chapter “Voluntary simplifiers and degrowthers: contemplations on meeting and missing between environmentally-friendly lifestyles and systemic changes” builds on the empirical research of professor Librová and its rich conceptual and theoretical interpretations, combining her sociological, philosophical, psychological, and theological insights. It discusses potential crossovers between this bottom-up inspiration of “green and colourful” lifestyles on the individual and household level, with more systemic insights of ecological economics and socio-metabolic studies, and related proposals of the degrowth movement. The chapter argues that despite the undoubted relevance of the grass-root examples for the broad social-ecological transformation, we will not be able to achieve it without active furtherance of far-reaching systemic changes towards not only more sustainable, but also more just and more democratic socio-economic system(s).
Good practices of pedagogical translanguaging: A global overview of emergence, development, and classroom applications
Authors:   University of Pannonia, Kacsur Annamária
Published: November 2024

This paper deals with the concept of translanguaging as a powerful tool for fostering inclusive education in linguistically diverse settings. Translanguaging, unlike traditional views of languages as separate, bounded systems, recognizes the flexible, integrated nature of multilingual communication. It highlights how speakers draw from their entire linguistic repertoires to construct meaning, depending on context and need. The paper aims to provide teachers in Transcarpathia with a comprehensive understanding of translanguaging and its pedagogical applications. It explores the historical development of the concept, its key characteristics, and its differentiation from code-switching. The paper also discusses the theory and practice of pedagogical translanguaging, highlighting its benefits for both teachers and students. It presents examples from various countries, including the United States, Italy, and South Korea, to illustrate how pedagogical translanguaging has been implemented in different educational contexts. One of the core principles of translanguaging is that all languages are valuable and can be used to support learning. Teachers can create a more inclusive and equitable classroom environment where all learners feel valued and respected via accepting this principle. Translanguaging can also help students to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them by allowing them to connect their experiences across different languages and cultures. In addition to its benefits for learners, translanguaging can also be a powerful tool for teachers. By using translanguaging strategies, teachers can create more engaging and interactive lessons that are relevant to their students’ everyday lives. Translanguaging can also assist teachers to develop their own language skills and to become more culturally sensitive. While the implementation of translanguaging in the classroom may require some initial training and planning, the benefits are well worth the effort. This paper provides valuable insights and practical guidance to support teachers in harnessing the power of translanguaging to enhance language acquisition, content comprehension, and overall student success.
Екзистенційний вибір героїв на тлі глобальних катастроф у технотрилерах Макса Кідрука «Бот: Атакамська криза» та «Бот: Ґуаякільський парадокс»

Published: November 2024

The proposed article examines the existential issues of Max Kidruk’s novels “Bot: Atacama Crisis” and “Bot: Guayaquil Paradox”, in particular: motifs of the absurdity of existence, alienation, freedom of choice, responsibility for one’s choice, fear of death, the search for the meaning of life and authenticity. A detailed examination of the symbolic elements, motives and themes that form the existential consciousness of the characters in the context of modern technological and environmental challenges is carried out; the role of technology as a central aspect of the modern existential crisis is emphasized. The impact of technological utopias and catastrophes on human consciousness and moral choice in literary interpretation and philosophical approaches to the analysis of literary works is investigated, which allows for a deeper understanding of the interaction of man with technological progress and the natural environment, highlighted in modern literature. In the course of the research, it was determined that existential issues occupy an important place in the literature of the 20th century and retain their relevance in modern literature. Max Kidruk, a Ukrainian writer known for his techno-thrillers, reveals in his novels different existential problems relevant to humanity: the motif of technological threat permeates both novels under study (“Bot: Atacama Crisis” and “Bot: Guayaquil Paradox”), reflecting the fear of the uncontrolled use of the latest technologies. The author raises the question of the ethics of scientific experiments and possible consequences for humanity. The motif of moral choice is also central to Kidruk’s works. Heroes are forced to make difficult decisions that affect their lives and the lives of other people; the author emphasizes the importance of moral principles in the modern world. The theme of human interaction with nature is relevant in both novels. Kidruk shows how human activities can lead to serious ecological disasters, emphasizing the need to raise environmental awareness and responsibility. The author raises issues about the nature of consciousness and the limits of scientific experiments, forcing the reader to think about the ethical aspects of technological progress. Consequently, both of Kidruk’s works address deep existential questions about the nature of evil, human responsibility, and the impact of technology on society. They emphasize that civilization can both elevate and destroy human spirituality, and call for awareness of the consequences of one’s actions. The common will of all people can stop absolute evil and its rule on earth, but for this everyone must fight their inner demons and make morally responsible choices.
A Magyarországon tartózkodó belső ukrajnai menekültek nyelvhasználati szokásai és nyelvi attitűdjei
Authors:   Ferenc Rakoczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education, Gazdag Vilmos
Published: November 2024

The armed conflict in eastern Ukraine since 2014 has escalated into the Russo–Ukrainian war that broke out on February 24, 2022, leading millions of Ukrainian citizens to decide about leaving the country and seeking temporary and, in many cases, permanent shelter abroad, including in Hungary. The threat to their existence posed by the military actions, the general mobilisation of men aged 18–60, and the economic downturn have led to a significant increase in the number of Ukrainian citizens leaving their homeland behind. At the same time, it is also important to highlight that the mobilisation law banned men of military age from leaving the country as of February 25, 2022, so that men who left the Eastern Ukraine region have predominantly found temporary shelter in the Western part of the country, including in Transcarpathia. At the same time, many men who were not obliged to mobilise because of a medical condition (e.g., disability) or family status (e.g., having at least three children) and who still had the right to leave the country also decided to go abroad. Their numbers are, of course, negligible compared to the number of women and children, who have left Ukraine. On the basis of the results of an online questionnaire survey conducted among internally displaced Ukrainians currently residing in Hungary, the paper aims to show how the Russian and Ukrainian native speakers of the data, having been exposed to a language environment with which they are completely unfamiliar, have developed language usage strategies and attitudes towards their mother tongue, Hungarian, and the various intermediary languages used during everyday communication. In the first part of the work, the migration processes that developed in the context of the war and the measures taken by the European Union in response to them are presented. The second part provides general information on the distribution of respondents by place of residence in Ukraine and by place of residence in Hungary, as well as other sociological indicators. The next section describes the respondents’ language skills and characteristics. This is followed by a presentation of respondents’ opinions on their attitude towards Hungary, the Hungarian language, learning the Hungarian language, and the possibility of returning to Ukraine. The paper also includes comments from respondents in the form of narrative texts, which help to provide a more balanced picture of the statistics.
16. YÜZYILDA YAZILMIŞ MUHTASAR BİR VEFÂT-I İBRÂHÎM MANZUMESİ
Authors: Akdöl Seyfeddin
Published: November 2024

Klasik Türk şiirinde ölüm, bir beyitten bir manzumenin tamamına kadar ele alınabilen bir temdir. İslâm dininin etki alanında yazılan bu tarz şiirlerde ölüm, insanın nihai sonu olması yanında yeni bir başlangıcın da ilk noktasıdır. Tasavvuf kültürü içinde kaleme alınan şiirlerde ise daha ziyade ölüm sonrasındaki dönem öne çıkmakta olup bu dönem Allah’a kavuşmanın ilk adımıdır.

Klasik Türk şiirinde özellikle mersiye ve maktel türleri ile akla gelen ölüm temi, genellikle felsefi bir kavram olmaktan uzaktır. Bu metinlerde ölüm kavramı üzerine derin düşünceler bulunmayıp ölümün insanda oluşturduğu duygu yoğunluğu sıklıkla felek benzetmesi üzerinden aktarılır. Felek zalim, gaddar, vefasız ve öleni bu dünyadan ayıran bir kişiye teşbih edilir. Mersiye ve maktellerdeki bu tutum bir diğer ölüm konulu şiirler olan vefat manzumelerinde de benzerdir. Bu manzumelerde ecel ve ölüme yönelik benzer içerikli beyitler bulmak mümkündür.

Vefat manzumeleri (vefât-ı Nebî, vefât-ı Fâtımâ, vd.) arasında Hz. Peygamber’in küçük yaşta vefat eden oğlu İbrahim (ö. 632?) için yazılan “vefât-ı İbrâhîm” başlıklı eserler de yer alır. 14. yüzyılda Kırşehirli İsâ’nın manzumesiyle başlayan bu tarz şiirler, ilerleyen süreçte mahlassız biçimde yazma eserlerin (mecmua, cönk vd.) arasında yer edinir. Bu manzumeler edebiyat tarihi açısından arka planda kalmakla beraber Türkçenin halk imlâsını ihtiva etmesi yönünden ayrıca önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, şahsi bir kütüphanedeki mecmuada bulunan 16. yüzyılda Şabân adlı bir kişinin kaleme aldığı 72 beyitlik bir vefât-i İbrâhîm manzumesinin tanıtım, inceleme ve neşri yapılacaktır.
Impact of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff ) Sorokin on Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E Smith), an invasive maize pest in Chad
Authors: MBAIDIRO Taambaijim’d Josué , ONZO Alexis
Published: November 2024

The invasion of agricultural plots by Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E Smith) constitutes a serious constraint to the sustainable maize production in Chad. Since then, farmers have unsuccessfully used available chemical insecticides to control this pest at that respect, the present study evaluated the bio-efficacy of two strains (Chinese and Senegalese) of Metarhizium anisopliae on the pest, both under laboratory and field conditions. Laboratory results showed that both strains were virulent against FAW resulting in a mortality of 90 ± 5.77% for the strain from Senegal and 75 ± 5.00% for that from China. In the field, significant differences were observed among the four treatments tested, namely the two M. anisopliae strains (2.5 kg/ha), the control and Emamectin benzoate (20g/ha) for both the infestation of maize plants and FAW densities (P <0.05). Meanwhile, maize grain yields were significantly the highest in plots treated with Emamectin benzoate followed by plots treated with either of the two strains of the fungus whose yields were statistically similar (df = 3; F = 27.13; P <0.0001). This biopesticide was more virulent under laboratory and field conditions and could be a promising biological control agent against S. frugiperda as an alternative to synthetic insecticides. However, additional studies that evaluate the implementation cost of the microbiological control are very necessary for more objective and robust conclusions. Key words: Fall armyworm, microbiological control, Zea mays, Emamectin benzoate, biopesticides.

Published: November 2024

Introduction. Hyperglycemia causes the well-known microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) such as diabetic retinopathy, polyneuropathy and nephropathy, but it can also affect the inner ear, and hearing loss (HL) can be considered as one of the microvascular complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate association between HL and values of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2).
Methods. In this retrospective-observational cross sectional study, we included 80 patients divided into two groups: experimental group consisting of 40 patients with DMT2 and control group consisting of 40 patients who were not previously diagnosed with DM. Data were retrieved from electronic medical records of patients treated in outpatient clinic of the Ear, Nose and Throat Department, University clinical center of Republic of Srpska (UCC RS) from 2023 to 2024. 
Results. Out of 40 patients from experimental group, 15 were males (37.5%) and 25 were females (62.5%). Regarding glycoregulation patterns in experimental group, patients were stratified into three subgroups: HbA1c < 7% (N 17; 42.5%), HbA1c-9% (N 17; 42.5%) and HbA1c > 9% (N 6; 15%). In the experimental group, a significant (p<0.000) greater number of patients had HL, and significant greater number of patients had bilateral HL (N 32; 80%, p<0.05) with predominantly pronounced sensorineural HL (N 36; 90%, p<0.05).
Conclusion. Patients with DMT2 had a higher incidence of HL compared to controls. The sensorineural type of HL showed a significantly high prevalence among patients with DMT2. HbA1c levels may be a potentially significant predictor of HL in DMT2.

Computer vision in the industrial sector has the highest level of need because the work is done automatically and can speed up and save time for work productivity. Not always, work will be done manually by human workers who sometimes have obstacles in the process of taking place. The high cost causes the need for technology to simplify work so it does not materialize. A simple imaging system with computer vision is proposed in this study. Measurement of volume estimates from several samples was carried out to see the efficiency of computer vision imaging work by comparing the measurement results manually and water displacement method. Computer vision imaging is built using a CMOS camera, line laser, Raspberry Pi, Python programming language, and OpenCV. Imaging results show that computer vision has the ability to read the sample volume estimate more effectively against objects that have a symmetrical shape. The smallest error percentage of measurement of volume estimation by computer vision against manual method and the water displacement was 7.44% and 7.18% for sunkist oranges and 10.88% and 13.67% for symmetrical watermelon, respectively.

Published: November 2024

In this paper, an Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Test (NDT-UT) has been carried out on steel using the Simulink-Matlab Mathematica computation method. This study aims to analyze the NDT-UT output signal for material defect detection using secondary data as the first sample. The sample is then analyzed using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method to produce a spectrum waveform and image thermography. It can be seen that there is a decrease in signal height from 1 a.u to 0.55 a.u. The first sample waveforms were used to analyze the second sample, third sample, and fourth sample, and all the samples had different defects. The results of the sample analysis are in the form of a thermographic image that shows the temperature level based on the distribution of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) images on the sample surface. The NDT-UT output signal produces a sinusoidal wave similar to the results of the Simulink-Matlab modeling analysis on the initial input echoes and the back wall, with a percentage inequality of 10%. Then validated the sinusoidal signal from the NDT-UT which gave a percentage of inequality between 0% – 42%. More complex or irregular defects result in a larger percentage or vice versa.

Published: November 2024

The ferroelectric thin film material of barium zirconium titanate (BZT) on the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate was successfully prepared using the sol-gel method. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of crystal size on the variation of holding time. The lattice parameter data has a value of a = b of 3.918 Å and for c it is 4.01 Å. The results of this study indicate that the crystal structure of BZT is tetragonal because the lattice parameter has the same values a and b but not equal to c. To obtain the bandgap energy, a thin film plot method of Ba(Zr0,5Ti0,5)O3 was used at a temperature of 700 °C with a holding time of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes, and 2 hours. The optical thin layer bandgap energy of Ba(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 was calculated using the Tauc plot. The absorbance values obtained were 3.277 a.u, 3.0654 a.u, 3.323 a.u, and 3.424 a.u. The maximum transmission (TM) occurs at 1 hour holding time which gives a percentage of TM1 44.477% and TM2 20.568%. While the 2 hour hold time gives a minimum transmission (Tm) of Tm1 10.859% and Tm2 7.759%, respectively.

Authors: Muhammad Juandi , Krisman Krisman
Published: November 2024

Biomass dryer (BD) was a useful device to improve the time efficiency of drying activities in traditional systems. The fuel source of biomass can be obtained from agricultural wastes, such as corn cobs and coconut shells. The classic problem of BD is the inhomogeneous temperature inside the chambers, which leads to damage to the product if the air circulation is not controlled. This study utilizes an electronic controller to automatically manage airflow by a fan and open the window to obtain a homogenous temperature in each chamber. The window will be opened instantly if the temperature inside the chambers exceeding 46 °C. This testing sample product is a cracker, locally called ‘krupuk’. Cracker is made from tapioca flour and dried for several days after cutting processes. Our previous test successfully improves time efficiency in drying the post-harvest agricultural product. The proposed dryer consists of a cabinet with 3 chambers, an open fire drum, a couple of automatic windows, and an electronic board as a controller. The resulting test shows a homogenous temperature average for the 3 chambers is 50 °C.

The high sensitivity and low power consumption of Fiber Bragg grating (FBG), has been widely applied in optical technology to measure temperature and strain. Currently, the need for detection by the industrial sector is increasingly being developed, one of which is the detection of characteristics in honey solutions. The use of FBG as a detector has a great opportunity to see the unique characteristics of the honey solution. Therefore, this problem needs to be followed up by analyzing the effect of honey temperature on the FBG output power, changes in Bragg wavelength, and the rate of temperature change. The research method was carried out by placing FBG in a heated honey solution, then measuring the temperature between 30 - 60 °C with an increase of 5 °C. The FBG used consists of a wavelength of 1550 nm and 1310 nm which is fed with 1 milliwatt of input power. The results showed that the highest output power of FBG against honey solution B was in the range of 213.60 × 10-6 - 214.58 × 10-6 W. Changes in Bragg wavelength were quite significant for the increase in temperature of honey solution with a difference of 0.58 - 0.76 nm.

Published: November 2024

Cartan's extended homotopy formula is set to obtain the Chern-Simons-Antoniadis-Savvidy (ChSAS) measurement form transformation. This indicates a change in each of the results that the quasi-invariance nature of the gauge with a closed shape under the meter transformation. The results of the initial calculation of the ChSAS form then show a singlet anomaly for each value of n as a dimension variation. These results have illustrated the relationship with the Chern-Simon form theory. The results of the final calculation of the ChSAS shape on the gauge transformation are then described in relation to the Zumino anomaly which reaches an anomaly variation that depends on the p and n terms.
