SCYTHIAN TRIBES OF THE PHASIANS AND ASII IN THE ARMENIAN
HIGHLAND AND CENTRAL ASIA
Authors: Khorikyan H.
Published: September 2023

Xenophon’s data about the ethnic composition of Armenia has been
repeatedly examined in the professional literature, and the researchers have
often expressed opposing opinions about the ethnogeographical realities of
Ancient Armenia. We have touched upon these issues, too, which allowed us
to examine the information given by Strabo that caused disagreements.
The examination of the ancient sources shows that a part of the tribe
called Iranian Phasians lived in the vicinity of the present-day city of Poti in
Western Georgia, and Armenian Phasians were located in the upper courses of
the Yeraskh River and the sources of the Ułtis River. The existence of Phasians
in the north indicates that the Phasians established in Armenia having moved
from the Caucasus and most likely settled in Anpayt Basean initially, gradually
spreading to the south, to Basean, firmly retaining their name in the canton
name.
During their invasions the Scythian tribes also settled in different parts of
Armenia: the Phasians in the canton of Basean, and the so-called Asii
Scythians in the canton of Aseatspor. Moreover, the Asian Asii and Pasiani
indicated by Strabo can be considered the Central Asian branch of the Asii and
Phasians mentioned in Armenia. What is important both in Xenophon’s and
Strabo’s accounts is that the mentioned tribes are mentioned side by side, with
almost the same names, and are considered the Scythian people.
During the Scythian invasions, the Scythian Asii and Phasiani tribes,
settled in the Armenian Highland had already assimilated with the Armenians
by the end of 5th century BC and kept their name only in geographical names.
As for Strabo’s information about the Central Asian Asii and Pasiani
tribes, these were also Scythian tribes and some part of them lived in Armenia,
Western Georgia and the North Caucasus

Consumer demand for bakery products prepared using composite flour, such as biscuits, is growing. The incorporation of buckwheat flour, soy flour, and kinema flour can be considered in composite flour-based biscuits since they have good nutraceutical properties and their gluten-free nature can help avoid celiac disease. The purpose of this research was to study the physicochemical and functional characteristics of buckwheat flour, soy flour, and kinema flour as well as their potential as functional foods. The biscuits were prepared with a mixture of buckwheat flour, kinema flour, and soy flour in 10%, 30%, and 50% concentrations with whole wheat flour to evaluate the quality and acceptability of the biscuit. The composite flour biscuits were examined for their proximate compositions. The DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to assess the antioxidant properties of the biscuit extract, while the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the Aluminum Chloride Colorimetric Assay were both used to assess the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, respectively. The overall acceptability of biscuits by sensory analysis was highest at a 50% level of Black kinema flour (BLKF). Sample M (BLKF 50 %) had 0.66, 21.06, 1.61, 11.88, and 3.23 % moisture, fat, crude fiber, protein, and ash, respectively. The highest total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were found in black kinema flour (748.22 mg GAE/g and 8.92 mg GAE/g, respectively), while the highest level of antioxidant activity was found in brown kinema flour (313.56 μg/ml). BRKF 50:50 had the highest antioxidant activity (440.43 μg/ml), while BLKF 50:50 had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents (692.67 mg GAE/g and 8.60 mg GAE/g, respectively). The qualitative evaluation of the phytochemical content and amino acid in various flour varieties as well as in composite biscuits gave positive results. Thus, the composite flour biscuits could serve as a low-cost functional food.

Authors: Abdulwadud Omar , Nyareza Sailas , Mthoniswa Justina Phiri , Nonde Linda , Malasha Floyd , Lifuka Eda
Published: September 2023

Objectives: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a core competency for all healthcare professions including military healthcare personnel. We surveyed military health personnel knowledge and experience with Cochrane, EBM and the Cochrane Library at Defence Force Medical Services in Zambia.

Materials and Methods: During May 2013 and March 2014, we used a pretested self-administered survey to collect data from the study participants. Categorical associations was tested by Chi-squared or Fisher's exact test. The strength of association between categorical variables was expressed using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: The overall participation rate was 92% (57/62). The sample consisted of doctors, nurses, clinical officers, medical licentiates and other professions. Nearly 44% worked in military clinics, 28% hospitals, 23% head office and 5% in training schools. Most (79%) of respondents have heard of EBM, but 84% had low knowledge and 88% lacked EBM training. Nearly 77% agreed that EBM was useful in clinical practice, 98% showed interest in EBM training and 46% declared workplace EBM promotion. Awareness about Cochrane was 53% and only two recognized Cochrane South Africa as their reference centre. Awareness and usage of the Cochrane Library was generally very poor and only one knew the database. Medical doctors were roughly five times more likely to cite organizational barriers to the Cochrane Library compared to nurses and clinical officers (Adjusted OR=5.19, 95% CI, 1.15–23.52, P=0.03).

Conclusions: Military medical personnel encounter considerable barriers to adopt EBM in clinical practice. Addressing their multifaceted barriers would facilitate the delivery of evidence-based healthcare and improve patient outcomes.

It is increasingly prevalent in digital learning and teaching strategies for discerning a global perspective on creating the student learning experience. Multimodality is an emergent phenomenon that may influence how digital learning is designed, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic in which immersive learning environments, such as a virtual learning platform, were employed. This immersive platform may assist learners in engaging in, paying attention to, and reflecting on their learning. This quasi-experimental study examined the effects of multimodal teaching on primary school learners’ English vocabulary and their attitude toward the learning environment. The participants were 59 primary school students in the northeastern part of Thailand. They were divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The former consisted of 33 students, while the latter comprised 26. Following Nation’s (2013) word knowledge framework, two tests were developed to measure participants’ receptive and productive knowledge of the words. L2 vocabulary scholars validated the tests, and the reliability of the tests was checked using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The questionnaire was also developed to explore the participants’ attitudes toward using multimodal teaching methods to improve their vocabulary knowledge. The results showed that although both groups increased their vocabulary knowledge, the statistical analysis revealed that the multimodal teaching technique significantly enhanced participants’ receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. The results also indicated that primary school participants had a positive attitude toward using multimodal teaching methods to improve their vocabulary knowledge. The current study suggests that the multimodal teaching method effectively improves Thai primary school learners’ receptive and productive word knowledge and helps them learn new vocabulary.

The objectives of this study were 1) to study education administrators’ exertion of authority 2) to compare education administrators’ exertion of authority under Phitsanulok Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The variables were divided by the administrators’ experiences and the sizes of the institutions. The population in this study was 1,161 education administrators and teachers. The number of the samples was 291 determined using Krejcie and Morgan Table, stratified random sample of the sizes of the institutions, and simple random sampling. The study used a 5-point rating scale questionnaire for item-objective congruence ranged between 0.80-1.00 and the reliability was at 0.962. Data analysis statistics were mean, standard deviation, t-test statistic, one-way ANOVA test, and pair difference test by Scheffe’s method. The results were found as follows.

1) In general, the level of education administrators’ exertion of authority was high. The aspect with the highest mean was the authority of information technology access (x  = 4.17), while that with the lowest mean was the authority of punishment (x  = 3.56).

2) There was no difference, in general, in the comparison of education administrators’ exertion of authority divided by work experience. However, when each aspect was considered, there were statistically significant differences in the authority of punishment and the sizes of the institutions at statistically significant level of .05.

Published: September 2023

This study was conducted to investigate two main aspects. First, it seeks to analyze how intellectual capital impacts firm performance. Second, it examines how intellectual capital impacts firm performance through earnings quality. To achieve these objectives, 114 financial datasets from service businesses listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) during the period from 2019 to 2020 were utilized. The hypotheses were tested through various analytical techniques, including descriptive statistics, normality tests, a correlation matrix, structural equation models, and path analysis. The findings revealed that earnings quality indirectly impacted firm performance, as assessed by Tobin's Q and return on assets. The study demonstrated that earnings quality, measured through discretionary accruals, served as a partial mediator between intellectual capital and return on assets. Furthermore, earnings quality was identified as a full mediator in the association between intellectual capital and Tobin's Q. After analyzing the data during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was found that businesses that utilized information technology systems and employed efficient distribution channels demonstrated high relational capital efficiency (RCE). This efficiency positively affected market value. The practical contribution of this study provides managers with measurement methods for intellectual capital development, enabling them to enhance operational efficiency in intellectual capital and generate high earnings quality that reflects market value. Additionally, it highlights the importance of adapting to digital-era economic changes. Regulatory bodies can further promote and support intellectual capital to increase market value.
An analysis of urban residents’ efficiency in paying for water services delivered by municipalities: A case of Chinhoyi Town, Zimbabwe
Authors: Chimwanda Peter , Nyamugure Philimon , Mdlongwa Precious
Published: September 2023

Chinhoyi urban local authority is failing to deliver obligated services such as water provision to residents, citing unavailability of funds due to non-payment by the residents as the main cause. This research aims at establishing whether or not this deterioration in water provision is indeed due to non-payment by citizens. Ten households were randomly selected from each of the sixteen residential areas in Chinhoyi. Each of the households was given a questionnaire to complete and the responses were analysed using Limdep and SPSS. The efficiency of residents in paying for water services was estimated using the Stochastic Frontier method. The factors that were used in the model were either quantitative or ordinal-qualitative. A likert-scale with ratings 1 to 5 was used for the ordinal factors. Results show that residents are paying for the water services provided by the municipality, suggesting that the poor supply of water by the Chinhoyi municipality is not due to non-payment by citizens. These results imply that revenue being collected from residents is either not sufficient for the provision of water or has a part that is being directed elsewhere. It was also established that water quantity, amount charged, household income, opportunism and inability significantly affect the amount of revenue paid to the municipality by the residents. The effect of opportunism  and inability was, however, negative. Implying that an increase in each of the two factors reduces both the amount that a household will pay and the efficiency of the individual household.
Flipped classroom approach in EFL context: Implementing self-regulated learning to improve students’ performance in use of grammar
Authors: Alkhalaf Maha
Published: September 2023

The Flipped Classroom has gained popularity in various fields, including the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, offering new possibilities for improving students' grammar skills. This study aimed to investigate the implementation of self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies within the Flipped Classroom to enhance students' performance in the use of grammar.  The sample comprised 50 high school students in a Saudi Arabian school. Using the quantitative research paradigm, the study employed a pretest and posttest control group design within the domain of quasi-experimental research. The experimental group was given instruction using multiple SRL strategies while the control group was given instruction without SRL strategies in a Flipped Classroom. The results indicated a significant difference in the post-test scores between the experimental (which utilized SRL strategies) and the control group (which was taught without SRL strategies). The findings suggest that SRL strategies in Flipped Classroom positively impacted students' grammar skills. Additionally, the study categorized students into different proficiency levels and found significant differences in grammar skills based on proficiency levels. The study also aligned with the social cognitive model of SRL, which emphasizes the importance of performance control, and self-reflection phases in the learning process. The study recommends the integration of SRL strategies in Flipped Classrooms to enhance students' grammar skills and calls for further research to explore the impact of SRL strategies on other language skills in EFL contexts. Overall, the study contributes to the understanding of how SRL strategies can be used to improve language learning outcomes within the Flipped Classroom Approach.

The major part in the process of humanization of systems is the capability of distinguishing the emotions of the person. In this research paper we represent the composition of an instinctive system that is capable of detecting the emotion by using their facial expressions. Three techniques of neural network are tailored, educated and subordinated to different jobs, after this the performance of the network was improved. A live videotape operation that can currently simulate the person’s emotion depicts how well the model connects to the world. Since the invention of computers many technologists and masterminds are introducing instinctively intelligent systems that are very helpful to humans mentally and physically. In the previous decades the usage of computer has increased rapidly which helps in developing fast literacy systems, where internet has provided vast quantum of data for teaching the machine. These two enlargements elevated the exploration on intelligent learning systems by using neural networks in favorable ways. The facial emotion detection machine needs to be trained to get the system ready. The installation of OpenCV(Open Source Computer Vision) is essential for this machine. OpenCV is a library that is required for computer vision.
