Influences of Ernest Hemingway's Novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on Petro Marko's Novel "Hasta la Vista"
Authors: Karjagdiu Lirak , Mrasori Naser 
Published: March 2022

The reception of Hemingway's translated works in Albanian literature and culture had begun since the late 1950s, more precisely in 1957, and it had continued to grow in sixties, to reach a culminating and most successful reception in the last decade of the last century. In all likelihood Hemingway's works in Albanian literature and culture were received with warmth, curiosity, respect, admiration and enthusiasm both by readers and by literary critics, researchers, scholars, etc.In addition to the reception there are traces and evidences that Ernest Hemingway with his novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” had influenced and incited Albanian writer Petro Marko to write one of his best novels “Hasta la Vista”. This is due to the fact that both writers had gone to volunteer to fight in Spain, like many from all over the world. However, they lined up in different brigades, Petro Marko in the XII Brigade and Ernest Hemingway in the XV Brigade. They both wrote similar novels about this great historical event. Both these novels have in common some of the main themes, motifs, symbols, conflicts, events, style, etc. Therefore, using qualitative and comparative literature methods this article will attempt to shed light on the impact of Ernest Hemingway novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” on Petro Marko’s novel “Hasta la Vista” by focusing on the main similarities and differences of these two novels written by two authors who belong to different literatures and cultures on the same subject and theme, motivated by the same historical event, Spanish Civil War.The paper concludes that Hemingway’s novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” directly influenced the Albanian writer Petro Marko to write his novel “Hasta la Vista”. This is because, when Hemingway recounted his experience in the Spanish Civil War in his novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and after the Albanian writer, Petro Marko read his novel and had direct contacts with Ernest Hemingway, he wrote his own novel “Hasta la Vista” under Hemingway’s influence. As a result, Petro Marko’s novel is quite similar to Hemingway’s novel in terms of themes, motifs, symbols, characters, conflicts, style, etc., though there are differences between these two novels, as well.

Authors: Wanjere M.D , Kinoti M. , Iraki X.N , Ogutu M. 
Published: March 2022

The paper investigates management knowhow spillover from foreign direct investment effect on local firms performance. Scholars seem to agree on the importance of foreign direct investment spillover for country’s growth but opinions vary regarding its impact. The study sort to establish the effect of management know spillover from FDI on performance of manufacturing firms. Empirical and theoretical literature has been reviewed on the key constructs of the study and hypothesis formulated. The reviewed literature has led to formulation of a conceptual framework showing the link among key variable of study. The study population consisted of 100 companies with at least 10 percent or more foreign ownership and registered with Kenya Association Manufacturers. The study respondents consisted of the Chief Executive Officers or representative of the participating organizations. The data was collected on management knowhow spillover from FDI and its effect on local firm performance using a questionnaire. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and simple regression analysis. The study established that management knowhow was significantly correlated with manufacturing firm performance and the correlation coefficient shows the relationship was weak and positive. The management knowhow accounted for 6.6% of variation in performance (R2=0.066). The corresponding model was also found to be significant (F=5.144, P<0.05) as well the coefficient for management knowhow (β=0.252, t=2.268, P<0.05). The implication of these findings is that the country policy makers should not only concern themselves with attracting FDIs, but also in ensuring that they secure the spillover to local firms. Organisation and government need to put in place policies that encourage spillovers from MNEs.

The Role of Accounting in the Most Adverse Conditions of Life: The Diary of a P.O.W.
Authors: Diakomihalis Mihail 
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the paper is to reveal and demonstrate the importance of accounting in everyday life and particularly in the most adverse conditions of life, through the investigation of the diary of a Prisoner of War (P.O.W.). The author of the diary is a young individual who was an ex- WWII captive and consequently refugee in a concentration camp in Italy, in 1945, with elementary education but absolutely “illiterate” in accounting and economics issues. The handwritten diary of the P.O.W. is the core research evidence used, along with the existing literature regarding accounting in everyday life, including accounting histories of war. Additionally, the study draws on new research firmly embedded in everyday transactions. The detailed analysis of the diary reveals the contribution of improvised and self-taught bookkeeping, to the strengthening of the feeling of survival, the acquisition of the necessary and most asset, the achievement of the insatiable desire of repatriation and finally the acceptance of the patent defect caused from an impairment, through foresight to deal with it. The fulfillment of all the mentioned above aspiration supports that basic accounting knowledge, deriving from the needs of the individual according to specific circumstances of time and place, may be more than satisfied to record simple daily transactions, even by illiterate people.

La fabrique de l’autorité publique dans le bazar de Karachi : apolitisme, piété et ethos de la confrontation
Authors: Russo Sophie 
Published: March 2022

Quels sont les ancrages sociaux de la fabrique de l’autorité publique dans des contextes marqués par la violence et l’incertitude ? À partir d’une enquête de terrain conduite auprès des leaders de marchands dans le bazar de Karachi, j’explique en quoi l’adhésion à un style de vie constitue un mode efficace d’exercice de la domination. Si d’aucuns affirment que l’autorité publique se forme et se maintient souvent dans la violence, je souligne que les acteurs qui évoluent dans des situations de conflit valorisent des modes d’action, tels que la confrontation non violente, qui permettent de défendre des intérêts sans pour autant alimenter les tensions. Pour construire leur autorité, ces leaders privilégient également les registres de légitimation vernaculaires, notamment l’apolitisme, donc l’absence supposée de compromission avec le monde du crime, et la piété, qui va de pair avec l’honnêteté et le respect de la morale islamique dans la conduite des affaires. Ainsi l’autorité de ces leaders s’inscrit-elle à la fois dans les normes propres aux milieux marchands de Karachi et dans l’environnement urbain dans lequel ils travaillent.
Quand la vie devient non préférable : vieillir et ses effets sur l’usage de soi chez les Stoïciens
Authors: Monteils-Laeng Laetitia 
Published: March 2022

Le stoïcisme voit dans la vieillesse une circonstance indifférente n’interdisant pas le bonheur. La vieillesse peut toutefois rendre la mort préférable (Sénèque, Lettre 58 ; Marc-Aurèle, Pensées III, 1), quand elle signifie souffrir de façon excessive ou sombrer dans la démence ( lêros ) ( SVF III, 768). À travers la question de l’éventuelle incidence du vieillissement corporel sur nos fonctionnalités psychiques, c’est le problème des rapports, voire des interférences âme-corps chez les stoïciens que nous souhaitons reprendre à nouveaux frais. Après avoir remis en question l’homogénéité pneumatique du corps humain et notre capacité en tant qu’être rationnel à contrôler tous ses processus métaboliques, on tentera de reconstituer une théorie stoïcienne du vieillissement, pour en mesurer l’impact possible sur notre capacité à user de notre hégémonique.
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoter region gene polymorphism at positions -308G/A, -857C/T, and -863C/A with etanercept response in Iraqi rheumatoid arthritis patients
Authors: Mohammed Samer , Zalzala Munaf , Gorial Faiq 
Published: March 2022

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the association between polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene at locations -308G/A, -857C/T, and -863C/A with the tendency of being non-responder to etanercept.
Patients and methods: Between October 2020 and August 2021, a total of 80 patients (10 males, 70 females; mean age: 50 years; range, 30 to 72 years) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving etanercept for at least six months were included. The patients were divided into two groups responders and non-responders, based on their response after six months of continuous treatment. Following polymerase chain reaction amplification of the extracted deoxyribonucleic acid, sequencing by Sanger method was performed to identify the polymorphism at the TNF-α promoter region.
Results: In the responder group, the GG genotype of (-308G/A) and the AA genotype of (-863C/A) were both significantly present. The CC genotype of (-863C/A) was significantly present in the non-responders group. The CC of (-863C/A) SNP was the only genotype that appeared to increase the likelihood of being resistant to etanercept. The GG genotype of (-308G/A) was negatively correlated with the likelihood of being a non-responder. The (-857CC) and (-863CC) genotypes were significantly more prevalent in the non-responders group.
Conclusion: The presence of the (-863CC) genotype, alone or in combination with (-857CC), is linked to an increased likelihood of becoming a non-responder to etanercept. The GG genotype of -308G/A and the AA genotype of -863C/A significantly increase the likelihood of becoming responder to etanercept.
Synthesis, Characterization, In vitro Antiproliferative and Cytotoxic Effect of Ruthenium(II)-Bipyridine-Benzoylpicolinic Acid Complex on SK-MEL-28 and Normal L6 Cell Lines
Authors: Sivaraman Santhiya , Daniel Sheeba 
Published: March 2022

The most seriously spread malignant tumor of melanocytes throughout the body is a melanoma type of skin cancer. SK-MEL-28 cell line is one of a series of melanoma cell lines. The objective of the present investigation is to study the anticancer activity and cytotoxicity of novel [Ru(bpy)2(bzpic)2]2+ (bpy = 2,2ʹ-bipyridine and bzpic = 3-Benzoylpicolinic acid) complex on SK-MEL-28 and normal L6 cell lines using MTT assay method. The morphology of the cancerous SK-MEL-28 cell line at various concentrations of the [Ru(bpy)2(bzpic)2]2+ complex is assessed by 2-fold dilution method, and the in vitro antiproliferative effect of the complex on the cancerous SK-MEL-28 cell line is analyzed by direct microscopic observation method. The percentage viability of the complex on cancerous SK-MEL-28 cell line at various concentrations is determined. The IC50 value of the complex against the SK-MEL-28 cell is found to be 39.109 µg/mL which shows good antiproliferative effect. The IC50 value of the complex against normal L6 cell line is found to be 55.315 µg/mL. The results revealed that the percentage of growth inhibition of the cell is based on dose-dependent manner and the formation of formazan crystal indicates this. The fluorescent microscopy observation clearly determines that the synthesized [Ru(bpy)2(bzpic)2]2+ complex shows late apoptosis on SK-MEL-28 cell line and early apoptosis on L6 cell line. Hence, it is evident that the synthesized complex exhibits good in vitro antiproliferative effect with lower cytotoxicity.

Effect of Feeding Different Levels of Corn Silage on Milk Yield and Quality in Dairy Assaf Ewes
Authors: Zaazaa Ahmed , Sabbah Mohammed , Qubbaj Tawfiq , Omar Jamal Abo 
Published: March 2022

This study aimed to investigate the impact of feeding by different corn silage (CS) proportions on ewes milk yield and fatty acids composition. Twenty-one lactating Assaf ewes were divided into 3 groups (7 ewes each). The following dietary treatments based on increasing the proportion of CS in the total mixed ratio (TMR) were tested; (1) 47 % AH (0 % CS in the TMR) correspond to 0 % CS, (2) 23.5 % AH (23.5 % CS in the TMR) correspond to 50 % CS, and (3) 0 % AH (47 % CS in the TMR) correspond to 100 % CS. After 8 weeks of feeding, the type of diet had no significant effect on milk yield and solid; however, it significantly affects the milk fat. The levels of C8:0 and C14:0 were not affected by different silage levels. While the C10:0 and C12:0 significantly increased when fed on a 100 % CS diet. However, a significantly lower level of C16:0 (33.22 %) was observed in the 100 % CS compared to feeding on silage at 50 and 0 % (40.66 and 37.98 %, respectively). Similar trend was observed for C18:0, the lowest was in 100 % CS compared with the different feeding diets (7.52, 12.69, 10.61 % for 100, 50, 0 %, respectively). Total USFA in milk were decreased (p < 0.05) by feeding 100 and 50 % CS compared to 0 % CS feeding. It can be concluded that the replacement of alfalfa with CS had some influence on milk composition, especially the fatty acids profile.
HIGHLIGHTS

Utilization of nonconventional feed ingredients is important to reduced feed cost and improving its nutritive value
Milk composition, especially the fatty acids profile when replaced portions of alfalfa can be affected by feeding corn silage
More research is needed to confirm our findings

Authors: Kumar Saurabh 
Published: March 2022

Free vibration analysis is carried out on axially inhomogeneous beams resting on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation. The material properties of the beam like Young’s modulus, modulus of rigidity and material density are considered to be varying along the length direction following constant, linear and exponential material models. The beam is subjected to different combinations of clamped and simply supported boundary conditions. The formulation is based on Timoshenko beam theory and energy method along with Hamilton’s principle is used to derive the governing equations. The effect of material gradation and the 2 parameters of elastic foundation on the natural frequencies are studied in detail. The present results are validated by comparing them with established ones and satisfactory matching is observed.
HIGHLIGHTS

Free vibration behavior of axially functionally graded beams in investigated
Three different material models and three boundary conditions are considered
Effect of two parameter elastic foundation is considered
Timoshenko beam theory and Rayleigh Ritz method are employed
It is found that the stiffness of elastic foundation significantly affects the natural frequency of the beam

Published: March 2022

Sleep problem or insomnia is one of the most common causes of health problems, affecting around 10 - 20 % of the world population. Traditional Thai massage (TTM) is a popular alternative treatment in Thailand for reducing fatigue and improving sleep quality. This study aimed to examine the effect of traditional Thai massage on sleep quality in adults. Twenty-eight adults with poor sleep quality (based on Verran and Snyder-Halpern sleep scale) participated. They were randomly allocated into a control group (n = 14) and a TTM group (n = 14). Participants in the TTM group received three 90-min whole body traditional Thai massage sessions within one week, whereas the control group participants maintained their daily lives. Quality of sleep was assessed before and a day after the massage sessions. The outcome measure was the Verran and Snyder-Halpern sleep scale. The within-group data was analyzed by Paired t-test, whereas ANCOVA did the between-group data.
The results showed that the participants in the TTM group had significantly decreased score of sleep disturbance (31.63 ± 2.95 vs 45.47 ± 3.24, p < 0.001) and increased the effectiveness score (70.73 ± 7.33 vs 53.47 ± 4.23, p < 0.001) after the last session of massage as compared to those of the control group. We conclude that TTM could significantly improve sleep quality without any adverse effects.
HIGHLIGHTS

The overall prevalence of insomnia in Thai adults was 40.8 % and is commonly found in the Thai population
Sleep quality was associated with all the academic performance in adolescents and cognitive function in adults
Traditional Thai massage could significantly improve sleep quality without any adverse effects
Since this treatment is generally safe and comfortable, it could be used as an alternative therapy to treat people with sleep problems

TEOLOGIA DAS RELIGIÕES: NOVO PARADIGMA DO PENSAR TEOLÓGICO
Authors: Vicente José Armando 
Published: March 2022

O tema da teologia das religiões vem ganhando a cada dia uma importância mais decisiva no cenário da reflexão teológica contemporânea. De fato, a teologia das religiões é um tema teológico recente. Podemos dizer que a ela teve seu nascimento na época do Concílio, ou seja, nos anos que lançaram suas premissas mais imediatas e nos que se seguiram. O tema é, portanto, extremamente complexo e sua abordagem exige um tratamento cuidadoso. A teologia das religiões estuda, à luz da fé cristã, a experiência comum a toda a humanidade como uma “espera anônima” do mistério de Cristo. A teologia das religiões é parte integrante do discurso teológico da Igreja. Queremos alertar, aqui, que a teologia cristã das religiões, embora sendo necessariamente “confessional”, não deve, porém, ser provinciana ou bairrista. Pelo contrário, ela deve adotar uma perspectiva global que abarque, na sua visão, a totalidade da experiência religiosa da humanidade. Do ponto de vista da fé cristã surgem as seguintes questões: De que maneira as realidades em que as pessoas vivem sua vida religiosa entram no projeto de Deus para a salvação da humanidade? Aos olhos de Deus que significado tem a realidade do pluralismo religioso no mundo?
