AIMING FOR MORE INCLUSIVE SOCIETIES THROUGH EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN IRAN AND ITALY

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract. This study provides an in-depth analysis of two education systems which, at first glance, differ widely both geographically and culturally. This initiative stems from the desire to share knowledge and practices between countries to respectively improve levels of inclusion in schools. In Italy, inclusive education, a cultural and political priority within the education sector since the 1970s, aims to ensure equal opportunities for development and access to education for all students, regardless of their individual characteristics such as gender, origin, religion, and ability. In Iran, on the other hand, although in recent years there has been more awareness regarding inclusive education, few measures have taken place. These have generally been initiatives from teachers, school principals and other stakeholders aimed at ensuring access to education for all students. Both countries recognise the importance of a student-centred approach and consider collaboration among educational actors fundamental. Iran and Italy also face similar challenges, even if at different levels and perspectives, related to the need for further teacher education and broader awareness of diversity and the risks of exclusion. In line with the principles underpinning the inclusive paradigm, these differences and similarities between the two contexts represent a wealth of opportunities for those seeking reflections through comparison to address emerging needs in the respective countries. This paper highlights the benefits of intercultural education to promote inclusive and equitable quality education for all in both countries.
Application of Genomic DNA Markers in Genetic Diversity of Safflower Germplasm

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Safflower(Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oilseed and medicinal crop with high economic value.However,because of the wide geographical spread and jumbled germplasm resources of safflower,the full exploitation and utilization of safflower resources were limited.With the rapid development of molecular marker techniques in recent years,the classification of germplasm resources and the molecular assistant breeding of safflower were greatly benefited from them.Advances were summarized in genetic diversity research of safflower by using molecular marker such as RAPD,AFLP,ISSR,RAMP and SRAP.The further application of molecular markers in safflower genetic diversity and germplasm research was discussed.
Lichen resistance to extraterrestrial conditions: Viability, ultrastructure and algal growth

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the Lichen and Fungi Experiment (LIFE) the lichen Xanthoria elegans demonstrated considerable resistance to space and simulated Mars-analogue conditions being exposed on the International Space Station. This first European long-term exposure (559 days) of eukaryotic organisms tested their ability to cope with the combined hostile conditions of space and to cope with Mars-analogue atmosphere and insolation. \nThe samples showed remarkable resistance to the applied conditions, due to symbiotic features and adaptations. The algae resumed photosynthetic activity and both symbionts (photo-/mycobiont) showed high rates of metabolic activity (LIVE/DEAD staining). The results indicated 50 to 80% active algal cells and 60 to 90% active fungal hyphae. \nPreliminary simulation studies focussed on viability after UV-radiation considering the protective effect of e.g. secondary lichen compounds. The present study investigated the cellular structural resistance of the anhydrobiotic lichen X. elegans after 1.5 years in space. The ultrastructure of the photobiont has been analysed, considering bio-membrane integrity, thylakoid-membranes, symbiotic interfaces and signs of structural damage after irradiation and vacuum effect. The current study focusses on the results obtained by culture experiments, demonstrating the algal growth capacity of the samples of X. elegans after being exposed 1.5 years in space.

Pulp Theology: Disputation and Divine Intervention in Pulp Fiction

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract: Pulp Fiction (1994) prompts its viewer to consider the possibility of divine intervention and to explore the issue of divine justice to which that possibility gives rise. The anachronic plot presentation allows the audience to ponder Vincent and Jules' dispute about whether they experienced a miracle with the knowledge that Vincent will later be killed by Butch. This then prompts a review and reevaluation of Butch's character in relation to the gold watch for which he risks his life. Thus, the audience experiences an increasing capacity to make sense of the theological details that construct the characters, scenes, and dialogue.
The Microbial Life of Meat: Friend or Foe?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Meat, a nutrient-dense food, is a complex biological matrix intricately associated with microbial activity. This relationship encompasses both beneficial microbes, used in fermentation, and harmful microorganisms responsible for foodborne illnesses and spoilage. Common pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Clostridium botulinum pose significant health risks, while spoilage microbes like Pseudomonas spp. and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) compromise meat quality. Contamination can occur during slaughter, processing, handling, or storage, necessitating stringent control measures. Modern approaches, including hygienic practices, temperature control, advanced packaging technologies, and the use of natural antimicrobials, mitigate microbial risks. Emerging techniques like high-pressure processing (HPP) and cold plasma treatment offer promising alternatives for microbial management without compromising meat quality. Furthermore, advances in microbiome analysis and metagenomics provide deeper insights into microbial dynamics, paving the way for innovative solutions. Understanding the microbial interplay in meat is critical for enhancing food safety, extending shelf life, and addressing consumer demands for high-quality, sustainable products.
The Effect of Communicative Language Teaching on Kurdish EFL Learners' Speaking Skills in Soran Independent Administration

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study investigates the effect of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) on the speaking skills of Kurdish EFL learners in the Soran Independent Administration. A quantitative research design was employed, which involved two groups of 7th-grade students, which consisted of 53 students from Dilara Secondary School and Hawdian Secondary School. The data were collected through a questionnaire that consisted of 8 items. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ performances after attending CLT sessions. The results showed that the student outperformed in fluency over accuracy, and their grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary expanded. They showed that CLT classes are engaging, the tasks are more real-world, and the classes are more student-centered. Thus, they demonstrated the effectiveness of CLT in promoting real-world communicative competence among young EFL learners in school settings.
Phil Spector and the New Movie Soundtrack

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article looks at the changes that occurred in pop music during the 1960s, which established the foundation for the reconfiguration of its relationship with film. The focus is on the work of producer Phil Spector and the radical changes that he brought to the medium of pop music in the early part of that decade. While the article stops short of suggesting that Spector was directly responsible for the transformation in cinema soundtracks heard in New Hollywood films from 1968 onwards, it does contend that his influence rendered pop music more accessible for movie soundtracks. Spector's innovative studio manipulations, which were designed to remove the sonic dominance of the vocal, were at the centre of these transformations.
Role of Vajraka Taila in the management of Vrana

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In today’s busy and fast life more people are living with conditions that increase their susceptibility to traumatic wounds, due to one or the other cause; thereby taking a heavy toll of life. As per Ayurveda, these type of wounds, which are caused by extrinsic factors are known as Sadyovrana. The major aspect of the management of the traumatic wounds is prevention of the infection, speedy healing, reducing pain, discharge and less discoloration after healing. In Ayurveda, various formulations for debridement are mentioned such as Kwaatha, Kalka, Churna, Rasakriya, Varti, Taila and Ghrita depending on the Avastha of Vrana. In the present study use of Vajraka Taila for external application, has been chosen. Total 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and the treatment was given for 15 days. The study showed that Vajraka Taila is very effective in Vrana.
Nocardia transvalensisDisseminated Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Nocardia transvalensis complex includes a wide range of microorganisms with specific antimicrobial resistance patterns. N. transvalensis is an unusual Nocardia species. However, it must be differentiated due to its natural resistance to aminoglycosides while other Nocardia species are susceptible. The present report describes a Nocardia species involved in an uncommon clinical case of a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and pulmonary nocardiosis. Microbiological and molecular techniques based on the sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene allowed diagnosis of Nocardia transvalensis sensu stricto. The successful treatment was based on trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and other drugs. We conclude that molecular identification of Nocardia species is a valuable technique to guide good treatment and prognosis and recommend its use for daily bases diagnosis.
Distal radial approach via anatomical snuffbox is associated with higer rate of radial spasm and greater patient discomfort

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background/Introduction Conventional transradial approach (c-TRA) at the wrist is considered as the default strategy for catheter-based procedures providing less serious access-related complications and better patients' comfort than transfemoral route. A novel distal transradial artery approach (d-TRA) via the anatomical snuffbox has been proposed recently as an noteworthy alternative. It is hypothesised that d-TRA may provide additional benefits without losing the efficacy of c-TRA. Purpose To assess consecutive patients' comfort undergoing coronary angiography or intervention by novel d-TRA in comparison with c-TRA. Methods In a span of 4 months, out of 465 caucasian subjects, 400 patients were included in a prospective, single-center, randomized (1:1) distAl vs traditioNal Transradial Access for coRonary procEdures Study (ANTARES). Hemodynamic instability, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, forearm artery occlusion or prior radial access failure were the exclusion criteria. An artery was punctured with anterior wall modified Seldinger technique, and standard 5F or 6F vascular sheaths were used. Pain/discomfort when access gaining, radial spasm, early (within 24 hours) postprocedural local neuropathy (thumb numbness) were the analyzed parameters determining patients' comfort in both groups. Results Baseline characteristics of patients were matched. Conclusion(s) Coronary procedures performed in consecutive patients via novel d-TRA are associated with worse patient's comfort determined by higer rate of radial spasm and early postprocedural local neuropathy, and greater pain/discomfort when access gaining, in comparison with c-TRA.

Effets biocides des alcaloïdes, des saponines et des flavonoïdes extraits de Capsicum frutescens L. (Solanaceae) sur Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera : Aleyrodidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Biocide effects of alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids extracted from Capsicum frutescens L. (Solanaceae) on Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). In an attempt to elaborate a strategy of integrated pest management on vegetable crops in Morocco, insecticidal activities of alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids extracted from Capsicum frutescens L. fruits against eggs and adults of Bemisia tabaci infesting tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. Daniella, were carried out under controlled conditions. Alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids, dissolved in ethanol at 1%, were tested at 0, 5, 10 and 20 g.l-1. The three compounds affected egg and adult survival, significantly. The mortality of embryo and adult varied according to the compound considered and for each compound according to concentration and exposure duration. For eggs, the corrected mortality varied from 35 to 59% for alkaloids, 14 to 31% for saponins and 10 to 14% for flavonoids. In adults, the mortalities were spread from 29% to 86%, 14 to 48% and 6 to 29% with alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids, respectively. Significant correlation between egg and adult mortality, due to the compounds tested, were observed. However, eggs required higher concentrations than adults; the LC50 was 13.78 vs. 6.83 g.l-1 for alkaloids, 98.63 vs. 32.28 g.l-1 for saponins and nontoxic vs. 120.65 g.l-1 for the flavonoids. Therefore, alkaloids were shown more effective against B. tabaci than saponins or flavonoids. However, the LT50 estimated for compounds, killing more than 50% of the population studied, was sufficient for viruliferous adults to inoculate TYLCV to plants before they died. The use of these compounds in integrated pest management merit further study.
Thermoelectric power factor of a 70 nm Ni-nanowire in a magnetic field

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Thermoelectric (TE) properties of a single nanowire (NW) are investigated in a microlab which allows the determination of the Seebeck coefficient S and the conductivity σ. A significiant influence of the magnetization of a 70 nm ferromagnetic Ni-NW on its power factor S^{2}σ is observed. We detected a strong magneto thermopower effect (MTP) of about 10% and an anisotropic magneto resistance (AMR) as a function of an external magnetic field B in the order of 1%. At T = 295 K and B = 0 T we determined the absolute value of S = - (19 \pm 2) μV/K. At zero field the figure of merit ZT \approx 0.02 was calculated using the Wiedemann-Franz-law for the thermal conductivity. The thermopower S increases considerably as a function of B up to 10% at B = 0.5 T, and with a magneto thermopower of \partialS/\partialB \approx - (3.8 \pm 0,5) μV/(K.T). The AMR and MTP are related by \partials/\partialr \approx -11 \pm 1 (\partials = \partialS/S). The TE efficiency increases in a transversal magnetic field (B =0.5T) due to an enhanced power factor by nearly 20%.
Process-centered environments for Web-based instructional modules

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Given the substantial development effort internationally to extend the Web as the basic interface for distributed information systems, it is appropriate to adopt the Web technologies as the primary user interface and primary server interface for computer-delivered educational modules. The Web interface gives, a coherent and standard framework for integration of visual, audio, and text information, and for moving among elements of the educational module (local or remote). The process of developing Web-based educational modules for distance learning, often requires significant investment of time and efforts. This is sometimes hampered by a lack of resources and tools to support embedding of graphics, voice, and video clips. This paper surveys the current state of the art of Web-based instruction and presents a process model for a process-centered environment for generating Web-based course lectures. The tools surveyed include ClassNet, a tool developed at Iowa State University for managing Internet class activities, and WebCT, a tool developed at the University of British Colombia which facilitates the creation of integrated Web-base educational environments.
Gli impieghi non riflessivi di se/sibi nelle lingue romanze: dati e teoria

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract The aim of the article is to investigate the non-coreferential uses of the Latin reflexive pronoun se / sibi in the Romance languages. In prepositional phrases, the stressed form of this pronoun replaces the outcomes of illu(m) in Ibero-Romance, Gallo-Romance and Gallo-Italic, whereas its unstressed form is used in place of illu(m) as the Indirect Object in Castilian and Sardinian (as part of a clitic cluster) and in southernmost Calabrese (as isolated pronoun). Furthermore, the outcomes of se / sibi also convey Direct and/or Indirect Objects of 1st and 2nd person plural in several areas of the Romance domain. We argue that this multifunctionality is related to the morphological gender and number neutrality characterising this pronoun, whose syntactic role is clarified by either prepositions or verbal valency. Moreover, as a 3rd person marker, it also develops the so-called «non-person» feature (as claimed by Benveniste), designating a generic reference, of which plurality represents only one of its possible realisations.
Use Kalanchoe bolssfeldiana as Oviposition Plant for Mass rearing Orius sauteri (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

kinds of plant: young stem of kalanchoe (Kalanchoe bolssfeldiana), soybean (Glycine max) sprout and leaf of jade tree (Crassula portulacea) were tested to be used as oviposition plant for Orius sauteri. No significant difference in egg laying preference, number of eggs laid, preoviposition and oviposition period and longevity of the female were observed between bugs oviposited on these plants. Supplied with rice moth eggs or aphids as food, O. sauteri had a preoviposition period of 3.3 d, laid 42.1 eggs in 9.7 d and lived for 15.0 d. Eggs laid in kalanchoe had a high hatching rate and could safely be stored for 13 d at 4-6℃ and the nymph stages of Orius also developed well on this plant. Beside, kalanchoe could be more easily cultivated than soybean sprout and jade tree leaves, so kalanchoe is considered as a better oviposition plant for Orius in mass rearing.
Design of a Mid-IR Laser Based on a Ho:Nd-codoped Fluoroindate Fiber

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this work, a novel mid-infrared continuous wave laser, based on a fluoroindate fiber co-doped with holmium and neodymium, is designed to emit at ${\lambda }_s = \ 3.92\ \mu {\rm m}$ , when pumped at ${\lambda }_p = \ 808\ {\rm nm}$ . The laser is modeled considering a nine-level system, by taking into account experimental spectroscopical parameters. Since the energy transfer coefficients are unknown, they have been evaluated starting from the measured emission spectra of the bulk glass, reported in literature, and comparing their ratio with respect to the ratio between the simulated signal gain coefficients. The designed laser promises higher slope efficiency and power threshold lower than those obtainable with a holmium-heavily-doped fiber, having same fiber section geometry, same refractive indices and pumped at ${\lambda }_p = \ 888\ {\rm nm}$ . Slope efficiency $\eta \ = \ 16.67{\boldsymbol{\% }}$ and input power threshold ${P}_{th} = \ 0.2\ W$ are obtained for the fiber length ${L}_{fiber} = \ 0.4\ {\rm m}$ , dopants concentrations ${N}_{Ho} = \ 8 \times {10}^{26}\ {\rm ions}/{\rm m}^3$ and ${N}_{Nd} = \ 1 \times {10}^{26}\ {\rm ions}/{\rm m}^3$ , and output mirror reflectivity ${R}_{\rm out} = \ 60{\boldsymbol{\% }}$ . This result encourages the fabrication of a continuous wave laser based on a Ho:Nd-codoped fluoroindate fiber.

Supercharacters of discrete algebra groups

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The supercharacter theory of a finite group was introduced by Diaconis and Isaacs as an alternative to the usual irreducible character theory, and illustrated with a construction in the case of finite algebra groups. We extend this construction to arbitrary countable discrete algebra groups, where superclasses and indecomposable supercharacters play the role of conjugacy classes and indecomposable characters, respectively. However, we adopt an ergodic theoretical point of view. The theory is then illustrated with a characterization of standard supercharacters of the group of upper unitriangular matrices over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic.
