Published: October 2022

In ayurveda Ipomoea cairica has its own importance to treat various health problems. It is tropical plant and a wild relative of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), which is considered as one of China's most invasive alien species. Ipomoea cairica is a climber plant in the Convolvulaceae family that is frequently used as a medicinal herb in India and Western Asia. In this study two different solvents like water and ethanol were used for the extraction of Ipomoea cairica. The highest extraction yield was obtained by using Ethanol. The antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content of aqueous and Ethanolic extracts were investigated using various in vitro assays. Study revealed that Ethanolic extract showed the highest antioxidant potential activity by DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity. The same extract also exhibited the highest phenolic content (22.03±1.21 mg Gallic acid equivalent/g dried Ipomoea cairica) and the highest flavonoid content (8.54±0.42 mg Quercetin equivalent/g of Ipomoea cairica). These results indicate that ethanolic extract of Ipomoea cairica can be used to reduce oxidative stress.

Depuis 2019, les « compétences numériques » dans les cursus scolaire et universitaire français sont enseignées au moyen de la plateforme en ligne Pix. L’étude de cette plateforme et de ses caractéristiques relevant de la gamification permet d’interroger les enjeux de ces nouvelles formes d’enseignement. Nous avons procédé à une enquête menée auprès de deux cohortes d’étudiants afin d’évaluer leurs modalités d’appropriation et d’observer leurs résultats, que nous avons pu comparer à des résultats en enseignement traditionnel. Les résultats de notre enquête permettent d’analyser les enjeux portés par la plateformisation gamifiée de l’enseignement dans la modification des contenus pédagogiques, dans la relation à l’autorité enseignante et dans la nouvelle posture apprenante.
Regulatory Changes to Livestock Waste
Authors: Sladkova N. A. 
Published: October 2022

This article discusses the features of the application of new requirements in the field of animal waste management. From March 2023, a number of new provisions in the legislation come into force, which contribute to the transfer of animal waste from the jurisdiction of the environmental area to a new industry for the management of animal by-products.The adopted changes are aimed at increasing the efficiency of involving livestock by-products in agricultural production, including to ensure the reproduction of the fertility of agricultural land, and should help reduce the administrative burden on agricultural producers.However, the introduced norms in a number of cases leave the dual position of animal husbandry waste, keeping the requirements of environmental legislation regarding them as production and consumption waste.
Social Change: A Gestalt Approach
Authors: Melnick Joseph 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
This article addresses some of the dilemmas generated by social change initiatives faced by Gestalt practitioners and by anyone involved in such efforts (the word practitioner is being used to include therapist, intervener, coach, and consultant). First, a few assumptions are noted, then the term social change is defined, and next the focus is on psychotherapy, which includes a case study of my experience working in a Veterans Administration Hospital. This is followed by an examination of conflict which, if not the cause of social friction, is often an outcome difficult to address. Finally, a set of process-oriented principles that can help guide social change practitioners are offered.
Mobilizing Commitment for Social Change: Two Cases
Authors: Gross Thomas F. 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
Social change processes involve multiple, diverse constituencies attempting to collaborate. What major factors enable or hinder them to work through their differences and come to shared awareness, mobilized commitment, and implementation of their goals? Two cases of multi-stakeholder social change will be examined: one successful and one problematic. In the first case, my role was as the facilitator/consultant, whereas in the second case, my role was as a participant. The Genesis Transformation Model explains some of the effective dynamics in the first case, and some of the problematic dynamics in the second. For a deeper understanding of why the first case was successful and the second one problematic, Gestalt therapy concepts are helpful.
THE MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF HEART BEATS NUMERICALLY
Authors: Abdel Rahman Abdel Gadir Abdel Radi , Hadi Haidar ِ Alamin Hind Abdel , Mohammed Elnaeem Hassan Abdelrhman 
Published: October 2022

Each normal heart beat begins with the discharge depolarization of the sinoatrial (SA) node, high up in the right atrium. This is a spontaneous event, occurring 60–100 times every minute. Depolarization of the SA node does not cause any noticeable wave on the standard ECG (although it can be seen on specialized intracardiac recordings). The first detectable wave appears when the impulse spreads from the SA node to depolarize the atria. This produces the P wave. The atria contain relatively little muscle, so the voltage generated by atrial depolarization is relatively small. From the viewpoint of most leads, the electricity appears. The aim of this study depends on collecting, describing and analyzing information using several examples and types of curves theory. Several stages of the proposed models are designed and implemented on the solution programs used in Matlab programming .The quality algorithm was programming . The quality algorithm was used and developed to classification heart beats for accurate results. The proposed model contributed to providing an integrated computer solution for all stage of the classification starting from the stage of classification of heart beats in curve theory and the stage of displaying and representing the results graphically in the Matlab program . this was done by sampled taker ECG from patients to reach accurate readings that provide an ideal model applicable in many of the techniques that contribute to solving our daily problems.

Metodologías para el aprendizaje por competencias de Ecuaciones Diferenciales aplicadas en Física al utilizar tecnología en la carrera Física Matemática
Authors: Herrera Castrillo Cliffor Jerry 
Published: October 2022

Este trabajo de investigación se desarrolló en su primera etapa para dar respuesta a la pregunta: ¿cómo se debe disponer de metodologías para el aprendizaje por competencias de Ecuaciones Diferenciales aplicadas en Física al utilizar tecnología en la carrera de Física Matemática de la Facultad Regional Multidisciplinaria de Estelí, UNAN-Managua? Esta surgió por iniciativa propia, frente a la observación de las dificultades que presentan los estudiantes al momento de relacionar ecuaciones Matemáticas en componentes de Física, no logrando adquirir aprendizajes ni alcanzar las competencias necesarias.
El estudio se aborda desde el enfoque mixto con predominancia cualitativa; en la indagación se utiliza el proceso inductivo, debido a que el investigador interactuará con los estudiantes y los datos que emerjan durante el camino recorrido. La propuesta de metodologías toma los componentes de Física del Plan 2021 de la UNAN – Managua, donde se aplican ecuaciones diferenciales, esto con miras a definir metodologías, las cuales pueden ser adaptadas a la creación de Bases Orientadoras de la Acción (BOA), documentos mediados pedagógicamente y manuales, para el uso correcto de software y aplicaciones tecnológicas, que en el mundo actual no se puede obviar.
Something Unheard Of: The Unparalleled Legacy of Jules Lequyer
Authors: Viney Donald Wayne 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article examines the thought of the nineteenth-century French thinker Jules Lequyer, who influenced Charles Renouvier, William James, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Charles Hartshorne, who never ceased to promote Lequyer's importance, refers to the Frenchman in all but five of his twenty-one books. Lequyer is especially noteworthy because of his philosophical defense of human freedom against any sort of determinism.
From Drive to Value
Authors: Brown Jason , Zhadiaiev Denys 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article takes up the processual account of drive and its derivations in relation to desire and emotion with an aim to explore the continuity of feeling from internal drive to value in the world. A mental state or act of cognition begins with an impulse and the category of instinctual drive. Drive partitions to desire, which is shaped by value. The combined concept/feeling can remain internal as emotion or distribute into action in vocalization or display. The transition in the mental state from drive (need) through desire (want) is constrained by intrinsic value, which accompanies the object outward as extrinsic value (worth). The partly intrapersonal nature of action prevents feeling from externalizing. Feeling drives concepts to completion. Concepts propelled by feeling undergo specification to images and/or objects. The feeling in the action gives intensity to emotion; the concept in the perception gives the quality of emotion. Feeling empowers concepts to finality, as emotions, ideas, or act/objects. In the animal mind, feeling empowers drive categories. In the human mind, feeling distributes as emotion into a diversity of ideas. Feeling unfelt in lower organisms is felt in a human mind according to the degree of individuation.
A Review on Bioethanol Production through the Valorization of Food Waste in Indonesia
Authors: Trisna Tifara Elaine , Jai Jyotsna , Shirleen Deborah , Matthew Ryan , K Katherine 
Published: October 2022

Biofuels are one of the numerous alternatives that are currently being considered to replace fossil fuels as it is more environmentally friendly. Specifically, bioethanol is often thought as a better alternative to gasoline fuel as it is considered cleaner, more renewable, and greener as it is synthesized from renewable feedstock which contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the environment. As bioethanol is produced from carbohydrate and starch rich food crops, food waste (FW) poses a potential source for bioethanol production as it is especially rich in carbohydrates and lipids. Bioethanol production itself consists of several steps which includes food waste selection, pretreatment, saccharification and fermentation, and recovery. Cafeteria FW was reviewed to be the best type of FW for bioethanol production as it has the highest carbohydrate and starch content. Subsequently, acid pretreatment was considered to be the best method due to low cost, high yielding, and time efficient method. Moreover, the non-isothermal simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (NSSF) produces 1.42 g ethanol/L.h with a time of 38 hours. Lastly, the enzyme-assisted extraction technique is most preferred to recover the bioactive compounds as it led to the highest yield of product (94%) compared to other methods.
Teach Smarter, not Harder: A Call for Empowering EFL Teachers with Strategies to Activate Learner-Centeredness
Authors: Albedaiwi Sultan Abdulaziz 
Published: October 2022

Learner empowerment entails making them autonomous in both learning and living and this is also the fulcrum on which the post-pandemic educational paradigm rests. Teachers in the contemporary times are required to train their students on the strategies of lifelong learning and become self-learners. Therefore, this study aims to gauge the perceptions of 110 EFL teachers at Qassim University on their level of motivation and empowerment for their B.A students. The study also establishes correlation between motivation and student empowerment. A quantitative research design is applied here to achieve the goals of the study. A reliable and validated 20-close ended questionnaire items is administrated to the participants using Google Forms and precise data sought. The study results show that EFL teachers at Qassim University have a high positive perception in motivating their students to English learning with a total average of (M=4.11). Furthermore, the study also reported a high level of student empowerment with strategies of self-learning reaching (M=3.90, STD=.708). Finally, a strong and direct correlation was found between motivation and empowerment of Saudi EFL students, in which Pearson coefficient was computed at (.841) and the probability value (Sig.=.000). Accordingly, it is recommended that EFL teachers use active strategies which motive and empower their students to be centered in the learning process.

Published: October 2022

Problematic relationship within fragmented team structures and inefficient multi-stage project developmentprocesses are the two major issues that affect project development performance in the construction industry.The problems are particularly apparent In Thailand’s developing economy. This paper focuses on the study ofrelationship among construction project team members at the pre-design appraisal development stage as thefirst step to improve the competitiveness of project development in Thailand’s construction industry.
Recently completed large commercial residential projects in Bangkok’s central business district were usedas case studies. For the field research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a selection of clientorganisations and key project members using a standardised questionnaire to collect relevant quantitative andqualitative data. UCINET, the social network analysis software, was implemented to analyse quantitative data toreveal the relationship characteristics.
The transformed aggregate scores of strength and satisfaction of relationship, as well as some of theproject network characteristics like low network density (0.2045 out of 1.000) in selected case study projects,did not appear to be very accommodating to the creation of good relationship. Other network characteristics,including high reciprocity (68.75%), above average reachability (8 out of 11), relatively short (1.405) averagegeodesic distance and small degree centralisation (27% out degree and 37% in degree) suggested a closerelationship among key project members. Moreover, supportive personal and subgroup characteristics such aslow to average (1 to 6 out of 11) out and in degree centrality and a high clustering coefficients (0.725 out of1.000) were considered as the key factors to achieving effective knowledge creation and transfer. This will beexplored further in part 2 of this research.

Satellite DNA arrays barcode chromosomes to regulate genes
In this piece, Dr Helen Rowe summarizes how arrays or strings of multi-copy satellite DNAs can barcode chromosomes to regulate cell fate, by acting as molecular switches. Rowe explores Dark matter in relation to DNA and its unknown function and that makes up a huge 98% of our genome. Intense research in this area has revealed that dark matter contributes to gene-regulatory networks that serve to control where and when sets of genes are switched ON or OFF. Specialised cell types work by each expressing a unique set of genes: for example, a cell that functions in the adaptive immune system, such as an activated T cell, will switch on a different subset of genes than a neuron in the brain. Likewise, development is a highly regulated process, whereby different sets of genes are progressively switched on in different tissues. Thus, the dark matter within our genome contributes to the control of gene regulatory networks and biological systems.

Financing the green transformation
Looking at how finance can initiate an efficient green transformation, Christian Keuschnigg, Professor at the University of St. Gallen analyses what a large-scale reallocation of capital and labour would do for the environment, especially with key carbon-producing systems like the extraction of fossil fuels coming to an end. He looks at three questions, including how fast are emissions to be reduced? Are substitute solutions available? And how fast can existing resources be reallocated? Estimating the green difference governments could make to the environment with new technology also.

Tick-borne Diseases Transmission Research: Co-Feeding in Ticks
Tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis are primarily transmitted during the blood feeding process, through systemic and co-feeding horizontal transmission routes. In this article, Research Professor Jianhong Wu explores transmission routes explaining that systemic transmission involves the transmission of the pathogen from infectious ticks to susceptible hosts, and the transmission of pathogen from infectious hosts back to susceptible feeding ticks. Co-feeding transmission provides an exchange of tick-borne pathogens between co-feeding infected and susceptible ticks (perhaps at different stages) directly even though pathogens have not been established within the reservoir host.

How can Daoism benefit Western education?
Here open Access Government speaks to Dr Tom Culham on the benefits of incorporating Daoism in Western education. Throughout this illuminating interview, Dr Culham looks at how Daoism could be used to progress current societies on an international scale. Culham explains that the world is in crisis - we have emphasised reason and neglected the whole human including feeling and emotion in Western education. Daoism teaches us to embrace rational thinking and feeling to broaden and deepen our connection to others and the lived world. He explains how western cultures emphasise logic and rational thinking over all else, at the expense of feelings and emotions. Culham believes that in the a current society there is a need to marry both western thinkings and eastern traditions to solve international and personal problems.
