Teachers’ perspectives on innovative and interactive teaching methods
Authors: Latifi Fadil , Kasumi Hysen 
Published: September 2022

This study aims to reflect teachers' perspectives on the use of innovative and interactive teaching methods and to present the importance of the application of modern teaching methods by first-level teachers (grades 1-5) and second-level teachers (grades 6-9), in the development of student competencies. The research includes the Anamorava Region in Kosovo which covers an area of ​​650 km2 and has about 200,000 inhabitants. Quantitative methods were used to research this issue, while Likert scale questionnaires were used as a tool for measuring teachers' thoughts and attitudes. The research sample consists of 97 teachers working with first and second-level students. The results show that teachers do not use a variety of methods while a number of them state that teaching methods are always in coherence with the age and skills of students. A small number of teachers pay special attention to students' prior knowledge. Based on the general data from the research, I have noticed that teachers do not practice enough modern teaching methods to develop students' competencies and promote their activity and creativity.

Published: September 2022

As instituições de educação superior (IES) brasileiras, públicas e privadas, são formadas enquanto categoria administrativa por faculdades, centros universitários, universidades, institutos federais e Cefets, que somaram, em 2015, 8.027.297 matrículas, das quais 34.927 eram de estudantes público-alvo da educação especial (PAEE). Diante disso, objetivamos descrever o cenário das IES no ano de 2015, anterior à Lei de Reserva de Vagas para Pessoas com Deficiência, de 2016, caracterizando-as por meio dos microdados do Censo da Educação Superior, adotando a abordagem quantitativa e o método de base populacional. Com os resultados, foi possível traçar um perfil das IES frequentadas por estudantes PAEE no que diz respeito à organização acadêmica, à categoria administrativa e à mobilidade acadêmica e indicar as 10 IES (que oferecem cursos presenciais e/ou a distância) mais frequentadas pelos estudantes PAEE, gerando um “retrato” anterior à lei de reserva de vagas. Este estudo poderá servir como parâmetro para avaliações futuras que pretendam conhecer o impacto da referida lei nas matrículas de estudantes PAEE, bem como, por meio dos números/estatística, será possível conhecer melhor as características das IES brasileiras e, com isso, traçar políticas públicas para a efetivação do direito ao ingresso e permanência na Educação Superior de estudantes PAEE.

Authors: Passos de Freitas Vladimir , Costa Junior Arlei 
Published: September 2022

O objetivo do artigo é demonstrar a importância da atuação dos notários e dos registradores na colaboração junto ao Poder Público, seja na fiscalização tributária seja no combate aos crimes financeiros, e propor diretivas para sua efetividade. Utilizou-se o método hipotético-dedutivo, para análise da doutrina e da legislação. Por meio de estudo da evolução histórica dos tratados sobre prevenção e repressão aos crimes de lavagem de capitais, compreendeu-se a necessidade de um esforço harmônico para adequar as legislações dos países a esse intento. Para isso, criaram-se órgãos de inteligência – como o GAFI – para desenvolver estudos, manuais e recomendações a serem incorporadas nas legislações dos Estados. Dentre essas recomendações, a inclusão dos notários e registradores como agentes colaboradores do órgão nacional de combate aos crimes financeiros, que no Brasil é o COAF, por meio do envio de informações e alertas sobre atividades suspeitas, o que também contribui no combate à corrupção.
Effective Porosity Seismic Inversion for Porous Media Saturated with an Ideal Fluid Using Simulated Annealing
Authors: Zhou Dongyong , Wen Xiaotao , He Xilei , He Zhenhua 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Effective porosity inversion—a key technology for lithology prediction and fluid identification—plays a significant role in oil and gas exploration. Based on the analytical expression of the vertical reflection coefficient of fast P-wave at the interface of fluid-bearing porous media, a seismic record is described as a function of the porosity by combining the quantitative relationship among rock skeleton modulus, rock matrix modulus, and effective porosity. Considering the nonlinear relationship among them, the simulated annealing (SA) method is used to solve the nonlinear inverse problem, and effective porosity inversion is realized by utilizing the reflection coefficients, porosities, and interpretation results of well logs as prior constraints. A series of numerical analyses shows that reasonable constraints can make the inversion converge rapidly to the optimal solution, and the inversion results of porosity are effective and stable and have high resolution and strong noise immunity. The calculations of well data and sandstone reservoir data further verify the practicability of this method, and the solutions are in good agreement with well log porosity.
Reconstruction of the Diagenetic Environments of Tight Sandstone Reservoirs: A Case Study from the Tengger Formation in the Baiyinchagan Sag, Erlian Basin, Northern China

Abstract
The Lower Cretaceous Tengger Formation located in the Baiyinchagan Sag of the Erlian Basin comprises mainly deeply buried tight sandstone. The identification of high-quality reservoirs in these thickly stacked and heterogeneous units requires a comprehensive understanding of the diagenetic environmental history of the rocks. This paper reports an integrated study involving thin-section petrography, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, fluid-inclusion analysis, and vitrinite reflectance analysis of Tengger Formation sandstones with the aim of characterizing the diagenetic conditions of the reservoir rocks and providing guidance for future petroleum exploration. Observed mineral assemblages, the distribution of authigenic minerals, and the distribution and nature of pores suggest the presence of two types of diagenetic environment, acidic and alkaline, which have varied over time and vertically through the rock column. Acidic conditions are indicated by quartz overgrowths and dissolution of both feldspar and carbonate cement. In contrast, alkaline conditions are indicated by the precipitation of carbonate cement, feldspar overgrowths, quartz dissolution, and occurrences of authigenic illite and chlorite. Changes in pore fluid chemistry controlled the evolution of the diagenetic environment. The early diagenetic environment from 110 Ma to 107 Ma was syndepositional and thus controlled by the chemistry of water in depositional centers, which is interpreted to have been weakly alkaline. Significant burial that occurred at 107 Ma induced pulses of hydrothermal fluids and petroleum into the reservoir rocks, which caused a shift to an acidic diagenetic environment. From 103 Ma to 70 Ma, subsequent episodes of uplift and burial caused periodic alternation between acidic and alkaline diagenetic environments. Three distinct episodes of oil and gas charging interpreted from petrography and the homogenization temperatures of fluid inclusions played a critical role in the enhancement of porosity through time. From 70 Ma to the present, acidic diagenesis gradually weakened because of the consumption of organic acids during the process of interaction between rocks and fluids. This study demonstrates the importance of understanding the diagenetic history of reservoir rocks and provides the basis for improved reservoir characterization and optimized hydrocarbon exploration of the Tengger Formation.
Reform des Schengen-Systems
Authors: Hunziker Evamaria 
Published: September 2022

Unbestrittenermassen sah sich der Schengen-Raum in den letzten Jahren mit verschiedenen grösseren Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Die Reformvorschläge, welche die Kommission am 14. Dezember 2021 präsentierte, bezwecken, den Schengen-Raum im Hinblick auf Bedrohungen der öffentlichen Sicherheit oder öffentlichen Ordnung widerstandsfähiger zu machen und die Wiedereinführung von Personenkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen zu vermindern. Untersucht man jedoch die konkret vorgeschlagenen Massnahmen, wird ersichtlich, dass diese - sozusagen nebenbei - verschiedentlich die Rechtsposition von Schutzsuchenden in der EU schwächen und gewisse bislang unionsrechtswidrige Praktiken der Mitgliedstaaten legalisieren würden.
--
Il est indéniable que l'espace Schengen a été confronté à plusieurs défis majeurs au cours des dernières années. Les propositions de réforme présentées par la Commission le 14 décembre 2021 visent à rendre l'espace Schengen plus résistant aux menaces pour la sécurité publique ou l'ordre public et à réduire la réintroduction des contrôles des personnes aux frontières intérieures. Toutefois, si l'on examine les mesures concrètes proposées, il apparaît qu'elles affaibliraient - parallèlement - la position juridique des personnes en quête de protection dans l'UE et légaliseraient certaines pratiques des États membres jusqu'ici contraires au droit de l'Union.
Unequal, undiversified and underrepresented: women on the backburner in local decision making in South Africa’s local government
Authors: Joseph Juliet Eileen 
Published: September 2022

The object of research: Firstly, the study highlights that women are still underrepresented in local government at the district level in leadership positions remaining on the backburner as decision makers. Secondly, the study examines the notion of patriarchy and male dominance that results in the marginalization and exclusion of women in municipal decision making. The study contributes to the current body of knowledge through identifying the challenges that prevent the equal representation of women as decision makers in local government.
Investigated problem: South Africa has been consistently praised for its advcancement in drafting a progressive constitution and legislation that provides for gender equality. Despite the progressive achievements, women remain underrepresented at the municipal level, as South Africa has not attained the target of 50/50 equal representation as far as women mayors, women are more likely to be underemployed in comparison to men; women do not receive the same and/or fair remuneration in comparison to their male counterpart and women are not able to progress as fast as men in their careers once in local government structures , into leadership role that grant women equal access to become decision makers alike their male counterpart. The reasons for the low proportion of women to men in leadership is attributed to intersecting oppressions that women remain confronted with and can be seen to be connected to historical patriarchal norms and institutional values, which excludes and marginalizes women and institutional culture is stronger than the process of changing this culture.
The main scientific results: The findings of the study suggest that women are lagging behind in decision making. Secondly, organizational structures that are attributed to the presence of dominant behaviours in the workplace can be seen to be linked to patriarchy and male dominance exclude and marginalize women. Thirdly, women’s representation within South Africa at the municipal ward and PR levels is on a downward spiral, when comparing the 2021 electoral results to previous electoral results in 2016. Notably, there is a lack of practicality of women's status in local government, policy enacted such as the Women Empowerment and Gender Equality Bill contains the key element that failure to comply with the Constitution justifies punitive action against the defaulting unit. This includes local councils and executive officers. Clause 11 requires 50 percent representation of women. Highlighting instances of failure to comply, with no punitive actions taken. South African women are passive recipients of male-dominated decision making in local government.
The area of practical use of the research results: South African public and private sector institutions. Any persons connected to gender justice within society

Published: September 2022

The buying behavior of Korean food culture is interesting to study because of its familiarity in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine the buying behavior of traditional Korean food among Indonesian. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach. Data were collected through an online questionnaire from 100 respondents. The results showed that subjective knowledge about Korean food did not affect the purchase intention of Korean food, while the image of the Korean country affected purchasing traditional Korean food. Halal label testing as a moderating variable was carried out in this study. Halal label moderates' knowledge on purchase intention and does not moderate the Korean image on purchase intention. The new thing offered in this research is the discussion of the cultural invasion that attacks Indonesian.

Abstract
Eliminating parasites in fecal sludge (FS) remains one of the major concerns in developing countries. To address this issue, experiments were conducted in triplicate vertical-flow constructed wetland (VFCW) units corresponding to free flow, 7 days and 14 days of retention time (RT). The effect of plant density on the system's performance was monitored in each planted bed unit and compared to the non-planted unit (standard). Following a bi-monthly application rate of FS at a nominal load of 200 kg TS m−2 year−1, the performance of the system in terms of helminth egg removal was calculated for each hydraulic RT tested. Untreated FS applied on the bed units contained high parasitic egg loads with a median number of 62.51 helminth eggs/g. The removal efficiencies of helminth eggs ranged from 82 to 100% in the leachates and were affected by the hydraulic RTs and the presence of plants (p &lt; 0.05). On the other hand, accumulated biosolids on the bed units still contained high concentrations of pathogens exceeding the WHO standards and should not be applied directly in agriculture.

Abstract
Generation of anion sulfate radicals (SO4•−) and hydroxyl radicals (HO•) by UV/Persulfate and the UV/Peroxydate processes have been successfully studied to degrade Ponceau S dye. Under [PS] = 0.06 mM; [H2O2] = 2 mM; [S2O82-] = 2 mM, the UV/Persulfate process was effective (kapp = 0.163 min−1) than the UV/Peroxydate process (kapp = 0.054 min−1). The lack of dissolved oxygen, the excess of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dosage at 2 mM, and the alkaline pH of 10.01 significantly reduced the UV/Peroxydate efficiency. The scavenging effect of the hydrogenocarbonates and nitrates on the PS dye degradation by the UV/Persulfate process was significant, whereas chlorides had a slight influence. The composition of seawater in chlorides, sulfates, carbonates, and bromides decreased the photoactivity of the studied processes. The presence of phenol showed that the reactive affinity of the (HO•) is more superior to the SO4•−. The UV/Persulfate process achieved 82.35% of chemical oxygen demand removal against 59.56% for the UV/Peroxydate in about 100 min. This study demonstrated that the UV/Persulfate process is a viable option for PS dye degradation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for studying the PS dye degradation under varying some new operational factors. However, the identification of by-products, their nature, and their concentration requires special attention.

Abstract
This study comprehensively considers two elements of water environmental sensitivity and pressure using the combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative calculation. And it puts forward the water environmental collaborative constraint zoning method and focuses on the construction of the water environmental collaborative constraint zoning evaluation index system using the fuzzy optimization programming model to determine the index weight. This study takes the Liaohe River Basin in Liaoning Province as a study area through two-dimensional quadrant analysis of water environmental sensitivity and pressure; it is divided into four types of areas: high-pressure and high-sensitivity area (HP-HS area), high-pressure and low-sensitivity area (HP-LS area), low-pressure and high-sensitivity area (LP-HS area) and low-pressure and low-sensitivity area (LP-LS area), respectively. The results show that the proportion of HP-HS area is 28.4%, the proportion of HP-LS area is 10.1%, the proportion of LP-HS area is 22.2% and the proportion of LP-LS area is 39.3%, respectively. The evaluation results are in line with the actual situation of the Liaohe River Basin in Liaoning Province. According to the results of different zoning, this research puts forward the optimization and adjustment scheme of industrial layout to achieve the comprehensive and coordinated sustainable development of population, economy, society, and environment in the study area. The research results also have been applied to the formulation of ‘14th Five-Year Plan’ for water ecological environment protection of key river basins in Liaoning Province.

Published: September 2022

Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant disease among women, being responsible for a considerable percentage of fatalities and comorbidities every year. Despite advances in early detection and therapy, evidence shows that breast cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing other chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases.
Autonomic dysfunction is an emerging, but poorly understood topic that has been suggested as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in breast cancer patients. It clinically manifests through persistently elevated heart rates and abnormal heart rate variability, even before any signs of cardiovascular dysfunction appear. Since changes in the left ventricular ejection fraction only manifest when myocardial injury has already occurred, it has been hypothesized that autonomic dysfunction can constitute an early biomarker of cardiovascular impairment in breast cancer patients.
This review focuses on the direct and indirect effects of cancer and its treatment on the autonomic nervous system in breast cancer patients. We highlight the mechanisms potentially involved in cancer and antineoplastic therapy-related autonomic imbalance and review the potential strategies to prevent and/or attenuate autonomic dysfunction.
There are gaps in the current knowledge; more research in this area is needed to identify the relevance of autonomic dysfunction and define beneficial interventions to prevent cardiovascular disease in breast cancer patients.
