CATEGORY OF POLITE SPEECH IN THE LINGUISTIC CULTURES OF JAPAN AND IRAN
Authors:   Chelyabinsk State University, FRANTSEVA N.A.
Published: January 2025

Polite speech is an important aspect of successful communication; each culture creates its own principles of polite speech, but general points can be traced. This article attempts to establish a measure of similarity and difference between the concepts of polite speech in Iran - “taarof” and in Japan - “keigo”. Partially for this, the Brown-Levinson theory was applied, however, since the emphasis is shifted from the general theory of politeness, to specifically polite speech, a study was carried out of the main features of the linguistic expression of politeness in these cultures. Despite the fact that the importance for each culture of the use of polite speech by its speakers is reflected as the uniqueness of politeness systems, a high degree of similarity between them has been observed.
Influence Peddling
Authors: Buzescu Gheorghe
Published: January 2025

Trafficking in influence is addressed at the international level in the context of affirming the need for criminalization and law enforcement in this area, in art. 18 of the United Nations Convention against corruption, adopted in New York on October 31, 2003 and ratified by Romania through Law no. 365/2004 where it is stipulated that "each state party adopts the legislative measures and other measures that prove to be necessary to assign the character of a crime, in the event that the acts were committed with intent: a) the act of promising, offering or giving to a public agent or any other person, directly or indirectly, an improper benefit, with the aim that the respective agent or the respective person abuses his real or supposed influence, in view obtaining from an administrative authority or from a public authority of the state party an improper benefit for the initial instigator of the act or for any other person; b) the act of a public agent or another person to request or accept, directly or indirectly, an improper benefit for himself or for another person, with the aim of abusing his real or supposed influence, in order to obtain a improper use from an administrative authority or from a public authority of the state party”. It has been observed that the provisions of this convention have a much more extensive nature than the precedent of the instrument adopted in the matter of anti-corruption, as it addresses the requirements for the criminalization of various acts, including influence peddling. The criminal convention on corruption, adopted within the Council of Europe, in Strasbourg, on January 27, 1999, ratified by Romania through Law no. 27/2002, states, in art. 12, that "each party adopts the legislative measures and other measures that prove necessary to criminalize as a crime, according to its internal law, if it was committed with intent, the act of proposing, offering or giving, directly or indirectly, any use improperly, for remuneration, to anyone who affirms or confirms that he is able to exercise an influence in making a decision by any of the persons referred to in art. 2, art. 4-6 and of art. 9-11 [i.е. national public agents, members of national public assemblies, foreign public agents, members of foreign public assemblies, international officials, members of international parliamentary assemblies, judges and agents of international courts], regardless of whether the improper benefit is for oneself or for someone else, as well as the act of requesting, receiving or accepting the offer or promise, as remuneration, for such influence, regardless of whether the influence is or is not exercised or whether the alleged influence produces or does not produce the desired result"

Published: January 2025

This reflection paper describes the implementation of Team-Based Learning (TBL) in the pharmacology curriculum for first-year MBBS students at the Faculty of Medicine, UiTM during the Musculoskeletal (MSK) module. TBL was primarily introduced to overcome the challenges and limitations inherent in traditional tutorial methods, including a shortage of teaching staff and the lack of an interactive, student-centred learning approach. The TBL format consists of Individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT), Team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT), an appeal session to clarify iRAT and tRAT, and an application exercise using problem-based questions (PBQs). This approach fosters active learning, promote critical thinking, and encourage teamwork. This paper also reflects on the process, highlighting the importance of preparation by both educators and students, as well as thorough grouping process of the students to enhance team dynamics. Challenges faced including various technological issues, facilitator inexperience, and the suitability of clinical cases are discussed, with suggestions for improvement. These include having a more diverse case materials and structured peer feedback in the future. The experience showed that TBL encourages student engagement, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of pharmacological concepts. In conclusion, TBL fosters essential skills like critical thinking, communication, and teamwork, which are crucial for future medical professionals. Although TBL requires substantial preparation, it minimizes passive learning and enables facilitators to manage larger groups more effectively. Additionally, TBL approach allows the identification of students’ misunderstandings of fundamental pharmacological concepts that requires further explanation by the facilitators. This collaborative approach minimizes the need for multiple facilitators, allowing them to focus on providing targeted feedback and managing larger groups more effectively.
A Review on Pharmaceutical Marketing Strategies from Medical Representatives in Doctors’ Prescribing Decisions
Authors: Acharya Amrita , Hamid Abu Bakar Abdul
Published: January 2025

The pharmaceutical industry is a critical driver of improved healthcare outcomes, significantly enhancing quality of life. Its growth has been fueled by increasing demands driven by the rising prevalence of chronic and age-related diseases and shifts in medical practices. This expansion has necessitated innovative and often complex marketing strategies to influence prescribing behaviour among doctors. The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, particularly in its marketing efforts, where direct consumer advertising is prohibited. Instead, pharmaceutical companies direct their marketing strategies towards doctors, who play a pivotal role as decision-makers in determining which drugs patients receive. These marketing efforts are designed to foster relationships, disseminate product information, and ultimately encourage the adoption of specific drugs. These various marketing activities are directed towards doctors beginning as early as medical school and continuing throughout their careers. Such strategies are designed to build relationships and shape doctors’ prescribing behaviour, with the ultimate aim of increasing sales for pharmaceutical companies. However, the influence of these marketing activities has raised concerns regarding the rationality of prescribing, the quality of prescribed medicines, and potential conflicts of interest. The balance between marketing efforts to boost sales and ensuring the responsible prescription of cost-effective medicines remains a challenge. In a country like Nepal, there are specific concerns regarding the quality of locally produced pharmaceuticals and the preference for multinational brands. This study aims to explore the various marketing strategies employed by pharmaceutical companies between 2019 and 2023, focusing on their impact on doctors’ prescribing decisions. Key promotional tactics include the provision of free drug samples, sponsorships for medical education, and personal interactions with medical representatives (MRs). The findings indicate that promotional efforts, particularly those involving personal engagement by MRs, significantly shape doctors’ drug prescriptions. However, this influence also raises ethical questions, with concerns over the potential for irrational prescribing and the role of gifts and incentives in shaping medical decisions.

Pesquisas onomásticas sobre nomes secundários não oficiais: revisão sistemática de literatura
Authors: Machado Julia
Published: January 2025

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática de literatura focada na investigação dos estudos sobre nomes não oficiais de pessoas. A partir da aplicação de um protocolo de pesquisa na aba de teses e dissertações do Observatório Onomástico (O-ONOMA), foram extraídos quatro trabalhos relevantes: Castro (2013), que explora os significados e funções dos apelidos ao rememorar os nomes oficiais, evidenciando a riqueza cultural e as camadas de significados sociais associadas aos nomes não oficiais; Cruz (2023), que aborda a variação dos apelidos entre jogadores de futebol brasileiros ao longo dos anos, destacando mudanças antroponímicas influenciadas pelo mercado esportivo; Camargo (2022), que analisa o impacto dos nomes de urna dos candidatos a vereador nas cidades paranaenses de Cascavel e Ponta Grossa, demonstrando como esses nomes podem influenciar decisões eleitorais; e Rech (2022), que investiga os sinais de nome na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), revelando características metonímicas e significados culturais profundos desses nomes. A análise desses estudos revela que a pesquisa sobre nomes não oficiais é vasta, abrangendo aspectos sociológicos, políticos e culturais. Os resultados indicam que, apesar da diversidade dos estudos existentes, ainda há uma lacuna significativa em pesquisas dedicadas a esses nomes em comparação a outros estudos antroponomásticos. Evidenciar e analisar esses trabalhos é crucial para captar tanto padrões gerais quanto nuances culturais e sociais dos nomes não oficiais. A continuidade e a expansão dessas pesquisas são essenciais para uma compreensão abrangente desse fenômeno multifacetado, destacando a necessidade de novas investigações nessa área de estudo. A exploração mais profunda das temáticas associadas aos nomes não oficiais pode contribuir para o entendimento das dinâmicas sociais e culturais em que esses nomes estão inseridos.
Personal Names of Vilnius Residents in the 16th–17th Centuries
Authors: Ragauskaitė Alma
Published: January 2025

Documents of municipal self-government institutions are among the most important historical anthroponymy sources of the Lithuanian burgher estate. Town register books of Kaunas since the beginning of the 16th century are unique due to their chronological aspect. The research described in this article focuses on the recordings of 102 Vilnius residents (temporary visitors) made in 1551–1683. It aims to analyse the binary naming of individuals, the specificity of surname structure and to discern the stratum of personal names having Lithuanian origin. Also, efforts are made to identify factors determining the recording of anthroponymic forms in administrative manuscripts. However, records of historical sources would not be informative, devoid of the historical and social contexts. Hence, the discussion extends into relevant history fragments of Kaunas and Vilnius cities in the 16th–17th centuries. Several research methods, i.e., descriptive, comparative and reconstructive, were purposely applied to study the collected historical anthroponymic material extensively. Traditional Christian names were predominant among the examined recordings. The surnames of Vilnius residents are of patronymic and non-patronymic origin. The most popular were Slavic patronymic suffixes -(i)evič and -(i)ovič. In town register books of Kaunas, anthroponyms of Vilnius residents (Lithuanian nationals) were Slavicised in various ways. This situation was influenced by the specificity of legal documents, the competence of scribes and the Polonisation of Lithuanian anthroponyms. No consistency or uniformity was observed while recording Vilnius residents in town register books of Kaunas of the 16th–17th centuries. Long minutes of magistrate meetings and court sessions were handwritten. Surnames were only the textual elements in such extensive manuscripts. This article continues a short list of efforts on the historical anthroponymy of Lithuanian townspeople (Zinkevičius 1976, 1977, Ragauskaitė, 2003, 2005). The provided historical anthroponymic material, its analysis, and its conclusions will be relevant to the research of historical anthroponomy, town history, and the ethnic composition of townspeople (Kiaupa, 2010).
Improving Flaky Tests in Data Test Automation Pipelines
Authors: Dhanunjay Reddy Seelam
Published: January 2025

Flaky tests in data automation pipelines can cause unreliable test results, low developer confidence, and inefficient development cycles. These tests typically have a high degree of inconsistency in terms of pass/fail outcome, a phenomenon often due to unstable environments, changing data, or test logic that is bad to begin with. The paper thoroughly investigates test flakiness in data pipelines, offering detailed insights into its effects on development and quality assurance (QA) activities. The document delves into strategies for mitigating flakiness, including stabilization techniques for data, better test design, and infrastructure improvements. Other methods like root cause analysis powered by AI and self-healing automation are also considered to make these tests stable and reliable. By leveraging a combination of case studies and concrete empirical evaluations, the efficacy of these various strategies is shown, providing real-world guidance as well as frameworks for practitioners looking to develop more resilient and dependable data test automation pipelines. The findings of this research add to the growing body of work aimed at improving software testing methodologies, highlighting the importance of having stable and deterministic test results in our increasingly data-centric applications.
Herbal Remedies for Glaucoma

Published: January 2025

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of unrecoverable blindness. It's generally caused by increased intraocular pressure, which results in damage of the optical whim-whams and retinal ganglion cells, eventually leading to visual field dysfunction. Still, indeed with the use of intraocular pressure- lowering eye drops, the complaint still progresses in some cases. In addition to mechanical and vascular dysfunctions of the eye, oxidative stress, neuro inflammation and excitotoxicity have also been intertwined in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Hence, the use of natural products with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory parcels may represent an indispensable approach for glaucoma treatment. The present review highlights recent preclinical and clinical studies on colorful natural products shown to retain neuroprotective parcels for retinal ganglion cells, which thereby may be effective in the treatment of glaucoma. Intraocular pressure can be reduced by baicalein, forskolin, marijuana, ginsenoside, resveratrol and hesperidin. Alternately, Ginkgo biloba, Lycium barbarum, Diospyros kaki, Tripterygium wilfordii, saffron, curcumin, caffeine, anthocyanin, coenzyme Q10 and vitamins B3 and D have shown neuroprotective goods on retinal ganglion cells via colorful mechanisms, especially antioxidant, anti-inflammatory - apoptosis mechanisms. expansive studies are still needed in the future to ensure natural products’ efficacity and safety to serve as anvolition remedy for glaucoma.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of brand experience on brand loyalty, with brand love as a mediating variable among Gen Z in Klaten Regency in choosing local sneaker brands. The research employs a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected from 107 respondents selected through purposive sampling and analyzed using path analysis and Sobel test to examine mediation. The findings indicate that brand experience has a positive and significant effect on brand loyalty (β = 0.257; p = 0.011) and brand love (β = 0.604; p = 0.000). Additionally, brand love significantly influences brand loyalty (β = 0.609; p = 0.000). The Sobel test confirms that brand love significantly mediates the relationship between brand experience and brand loyalty (t = 3.711; p = 0.000). These findings suggest that a positive brand experience directly enhances consumer loyalty and indirectly strengthens it through brand love. Practical implications highlight the need for local sneaker brands to focus on improving brand experience and fostering emotional connections with consumers to build stronger loyalty

The development of processing enterprises, their low technological level, as well as the shortcomings of the regulatory framework are the reasons for the violation of the ecological balance of natural ecosystems. Wastewater from the dairy processing industry is contaminated with easily decomposable organic substances that can cause great damage to water bodies. Existing wastewater treatment technologies are extremely energy-intensive due to the shortcomings of the analysis of the composition of liquid media, which can reveal an excess of maximum permissible concentrations of no more than ten percent of the total amount of standardized pollutants. This paper provides information on the assessment of a biotechnological solution for the intensification of wastewater treatment processes in the filtration fields of a milk processing plant, as well as an assessment of the level of their pollution. Information is presented on the results of purification and its ability to reduce the concentrations of pollutants in the filtration fields: by suspended matter by 17 times, by mass concentration of fats by 17 times, by BOD5 by 45 times, by COD by 10 times. In addition, the use of this method allows to significantly reduce the intensity of the smell, which may indirectly indicate a decrease in the release of toxic gases (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide) from the waste liquid.

Organic fertiliser can be essential in cultivating healthy and quality medicinal herbs. This study aims to investigate the effects of organic fertilisers and worm tea application on the growth of Clinacanthus nutans. This experiment was assigned in a completely randomised design (CRD) with five replications (r = 5) for 60 days. The treatments consist of T1 (chicken dung), T2 (chicken manure + worm tea spray), T3 (vermicompost), T4 (vermicompost + worm tea spray), T5 (worm tea soil application), and T6 (worm tea soil application + worm tea spray). The measured parameters were plant height, number of leaves, root, stem and leaf fresh weight and dry weight, total biomass, shoot and root biomass, and relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value). The results indicated that the application of chicken manure + worm tea spray (T2) increases total plant biomass, number of leaves, leaf fresh weight, and dry weight, and shoot biomass by 59%, 35%, 141%, 107%, and 80% compared to T4. The results of this study suggest that combining poultry manure and worm tea spray is promising for promoting plant growth and productivity.

Authors: Aliene Onyinyechi Gift , Abasi Cyprian Yameso
Published: January 2025

This study dwelt on the preparation, characterization, and application of composites made from waste (PET) polyethylene terephthalate bottles with a resin identification code of 1 (RIC-1). These composites were prepared by melt mixing PET matrix with other fillers such as crab shell, clay, and chitin, resulting in binary or ternary composites. The physicochemical properties and characterization of the composites were analyzed using techniques such as , porosity testing, pH point at zero charge, surface area and FTIR. The composites were thereafter applied for the remediation of iron (III) ions from aqueous solution in which the rate and diffusion dynamics are investigated with the pseudo-first order(PFO), pseudo-second order(PSO) and the Weber- Morris intraparticle diffusion models. The results showed that the pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic model had a good correlation for all ternary composites, with R2 values of 0.9977 for PET/CBS/CLAY and 0.9847 for PET/CHITIN/CLAY. The pseudo- first order (PFO) model also showed good correlation, with R2 values of 0.9812 for PET/CHITIN/CLAY, 0.9276 for PET/CBS and 0.9207 for PET/CHITIN. These results suggest that PSO was more prevalent, and therefore infer that chemisorption was the dominant mechanism for adsorption in these composites.Webber-Morris intraparticle diffusion model applied to data gave a multi-linear correlation of the adsorption of Fe (III) ions on the binary and ternary composites as well as the single materials. However, R2 values of crab shell, clay, chitin, PET/CLAY, PET/CBS, PET/CHITIN, and PET/CBS/CLAY, were 0.9509, 0.9737, 0.9492, 0.9366, 0.9063, 0.9317, and 0.9169 respectively. The high R2 values of the rate models shows a positive adsorbent behaviour of the composites.

Self-worth has the meaning of the extent to which a person feels positive about himself, namely feeling good and valuable. Self-efficacy is an assessment of what they are capable of doing in various situations. And authenticity is an individual's understanding of themselves.

Various reasons and factors underlie students’ decision to work, making it increasingly common for students to study while working. Students tend to choose part-time jobs due to the flexibility of work schedules. However, balancing these dual roles is not easy. Many students struggle to allocate time between work and study, often failing to determine priorities, which creates challenges such as academic stress. One way to prevent academic stress is by developing resilience, which reflects an individual’s ability to endure and recover from difficulties. The more resilient an individual is, the greater their ability to overcome challenges. A quantitative non-experimental research method was employed, using non-probability sampling and purposive sampling techniques. The study utilized the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Perceptions Stress Scale (PAS) as measurement tools. A total of 109 part-time working students participated in this research. The results showed a significant negative relationship between resilience and academic stress.
