Authors:   University of Cambridge, Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, de Silveira G. , Hutchings I. M. ,   University of Cambridge, Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy
Published: March 2024

Three test methods for the determination of the coefficient of friction of paper have been investigated : inclined-plane, horizontal-plane and strip-on-drum. Significantly different friction values were obtained for the same paper samples by each of the tests and the reasons for some of these differences were studied. Aspects such as contact deformation, contact pressure, testing procedures both environmental and mechanical and the presence of extractives were found to influence the frictional properties of paper and board.
Pediatric Patient with Omental Cyst: A Rare Case (CT scan is not Enough to Differentiate from Other Abdominal Cysts)
Authors: Aditia Donny , Dwihantoro Andi
Published: March 2024

Background. Omental cysts are rare intra-abdominal tumors in children. It is challenging to diagnose since other big abdominal cysts are difficult to distinguish from in clinical and CT imaging. Aim. This case report aims to accurately and thoroughly determine the diagnosis based on the anamnesis, clinical and imaging examinations to choose the best treatment for the patient. Case Report. A 4-year-old girl reported having an enlarged belly in the past two months; the anamnesis provided the diagnosis. A mobile, 15 cm by 15 cm mass with dull percussion was discovered during clinical investigations in the top border. It was determined by anamnesis, physical examination, and imaging that the diagnosis was an ovarian cyst. Instead of an ovarian cyst, we found an omental cyst during the operation, thus we had to conduct an excision and omentectomy and postoperatively achieved favorable results. She was discharged three day after. Discussion. An abdominal CT scan showed an ovarian cyst. In laparotomy, we found a giant omental cyst, not originating from the ovaries, and did an omentectomy to excision the cyst. CT scan shows that the giant abdominal cyst is difficult to distinguish between omental, mesenteric, and ovarian cysts. Precise identification of stomach cysts is necessary. Also, doctors need to read the CT scan image more carefully. Conclusion. Giant omentum cysts are difficult to distinguish clinically and imaging from ovarian and mesenteric cysts. There is a need for a more detailed history, physical examination, and support, as well as a more thorough reading of the CT scan.
An Unusual Case of Cheiralgia Paresthetica Caused by Lipoma
Authors: Mačiulaitis Tomas , Jucaityte Aira , Minderis Mindaugas
Published: March 2024

Cheiralgia paresthetica (CP) is a distinctive clinical condition arising from the compression of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBR). Typically, CP manifests as a burning-type pain in the dorsal and radial aspect of the hand. Existing literature highlight various etiological factors contributing to this condition, including constriction of the wrist, as with tight wristwatches or handcuffs. Symptoms may also arise from blunt traumas, distal radius fractures, and iatrogenic causes. However, CP induced by a lipoma is an exceptionally rare phenomenon. In this context, we present a case exemplifying the diagnosis and management of lipoma-induced CP.
Textile waste and education for sustainability: a Brazilian literature review
Authors: Leite Munaretto Elisangela Christiane de Pinheiro , Corrêa da Silva Maclovia
Published: March 2024

In Brazil, the way to dispose textiles waste is not widely available, and they aren’t considered a waste category such as metal, plastics, glass, and paper. Hence, tons of materials are send directly to landfills and open-air dumps. Additionally, the recycling possibilities requires specialized knowledge. The country has three main policies to administrate the environmental problems: National environmental policy (1981); National Solid Waste Policy (2010); National environmental education policy (1999). All of them have a point of convergence on reducing, not generating, reusing and recycling materials. The growing cost to the environment, land, air and water pollution, and to government to dispose, must call attention of the researchers to study and advocate for changes and to raise awareness. Studiers must put a great effort into to collaborate with redesigning and to produce less textiles waste. Following this discussion, this paper is a bibliographical survey in CAPES and SUCUPIRA’s databases (Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education), after querying with the keywords related to textile waste generation and education. Comprising the period 2017-2021, the study focuses on scientific documents – master and doctor dissertations – written in Portuguese language. The objective in doing a review of literature was to evaluate it according to the guiding concepts of education, sustainability and textile waste generation. This methodological alternative to conduct this research, and technical procedures, revising scientific information, focused on 13 articles. It is concluded that the bibliographic review articles, related to education and textile waste generation are not emphasized in academic production. Therefore, significant findings in literature could empowered academic public for changing attitude and stimulate new researches.
Agriculture in the cerrado: a sleeping giant rose up
Authors: Salatino Antonio , Faria Salatino Maria Luiza
Published: March 2024

Cerrado is a savanna biome, the second in extension among Brazilian ecosystems. The soils of the Cerrado are among the oldest on Earth. Weathering effects resulted in impoverished, acid soils in the Cerrado. Until the inauguration of Brasília (the capital of Brazil) in central Brazil, Cerrado was regarded as useless for agricultural exploitation. Research and implementation of techniques of soil fertilization, plant and animal genetics, breeding, and farming technology turned the Cerrado the main Brazilian area for food production. Notable gains in overall production and productivity of several crops were obtained. Over four decades, grain production in Brazil increased 6-fold, whereas the cultivated area increased 1.6-fold. Brazil became the third world’s food producer and the second top exporter of food products. On the other hand, much of the original extension of the Cerrado domain was replaced by farming fields. In consequence, Cerrado is presently the most threatened Brazilian biome, chiefly due to losses and fragmentation of natural habitats. A balance between farming and environmental protection of the Cerrado is needed, aiming a sustainable food production, by means of a harmonic convivence of farming and environment preservation.
СУЧАСНЕ МАС-МЕДІА ЯК СЕРЕДОВИЩЕ ФОРМУВАННЯ МІФІВ
Authors: ZELENENKO Anatolii
Published: March 2024

В даній статті було проведено аналіз теми сучасних міфів притаманних західному суспільству двадцять першого сторіччя, їх варіативності та їх способи впливу на свідомість індивіду та мас. Зазначено особливості цих міфів, які суттєво відрізняють їх від класичних давніх міфів, що були актуальні для часів античного періоду. Данна робота розроблена з використанням принципів і методів функціоналізму з метою відображення специфіки сучасних міфів як невід’ємної складової соціального життя суспільства. Аналізуючи функціональні аспекти міфів, робота показує інструментальну сутність сучасних міфів у різноманітності їх вимірів в соціальному просторі. Також робота включає в себе надбання філософських принципів екзистенціалізму та тлумачення суб’єкта і його особливостей через принципи даної методології філософії Робота демонструє різноманіття середовищ утворення міфологем в соціальному просторі, Показано, як в сучасних індустріях використовуються методики психологічного впливу, звертаючи уваги на міфологеми, які використовують задля формування в індивіда специфічного погляду на споживання.У статті надано визначення міфу в просторі сучасного суспільного життя, як інструмента світоглядного плану, спрямований на формування світогляду індивідів, формування їх сприйняття самих себе через призму комплексних світоглядних систем з урахуванням міфологем, які в свою чергу представляють собою викривлення інформації про середовище існування індивіда. Висновки, які пропонуються в роботі, полягають у виокремленні окремого міфологічного прошарку у сприйнятті сучасного індивіда в межах західного світу. Цей прошарок визначається як продукт функціоналістичного впливу середовища на індивіда, формуючи в нього особливий світоглядний пласт, з яким індивід взаємодіє на свій манер. В статті пропонується розглядати цей світоглядний пласт, як окрему цілісну сферу світогляду індивіда, як варту окремого розгляду з перспективи філософського чи культурологічного дослідження.
Порівняльний аналіз МОДЕЛей ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ В КРАЇНАХ ЄС та Сполучених штатах ЯК РЕЗУЛЬТАТ ЇХ ДЕРЖАВНИХ ПОЛІТИК
Authors: STUDILKO Maksym
Published: March 2024

Статтю присвячено порівнянню моделей вищої освіти європейських країн та США як результатів їх державної політики. Автором досліджуються відмінності в національних системах освіти європейських країн та США у вимірах сформованих традицій вищої школи, фінансової незалежності від держави, доступності освіти різних категоріям населення, ступеня диверсифікації закладів вищої освіти за галузями знань, рівнем впровадження дослідницької складової в діяльність університетів. Автор досліджує переваги певних національних моделей освіти, ґрунтуючись на показниках таких світових рейтингів університетів, як Academic Ranking of World Universities (Шанхайський рейтинг), Times High Education (THE) та QS World University Rankings (QS). Автор робить висновок про те, що освітня система США, яка запозичила свою концепцію з європейської моделі університету, останнім часом запровадила кілька життєво важливих змін, таких як: різноманітність системи щодо академічних пропозицій, фінансову диверсифікацію та обмежену роль уряду, що підвисило американські університети на вершини міжнародних рейтингів. В той же час європейська модель освіти, яка у повному обсязі стандартизує університетські дипломи на всьому континенту та створює можливості для трансферу кредитів та визнання дипломів, забезпечила мобільність студентів і майбутніх випускників на європейському ринку праці. На сьогодні Європа запозичує певні елементи, притаманні системі вищої освіти США, диверсифікуючи джерела фінансування університетів, утворюючи приватні інституції та збільшуючи плату за навчання. Визначені напрямки трансформації та конвергенції національних освітніх моделей можуть слугувати векторами подальших реформ у вищій освіті України.
СOMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL MODERNIZATION OF GEORGIA AND SINGAPORE
Authors: TKACH Oleh , ADAMADZE Kristine
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the research of comparative analysis of the political modernization of Georgia and Singapore. The relevance of this subject is due to experience of successful development in the political and economic spheres of Georgia and Singapore, which was facilitated by the dynamic formation of political institutions. Political modernization in these states took place in an accelerated and “compressed” format.It is specified, that these countries are passing through rapid economic growth. Singapore, in particular, was part of the “first wave of Asian tigers” (along with Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea). Georgia, in turn, continues to demonstrate annual GDP growth, despite domestic political and regional instability.It is stated that Singapore is a prime example of economic transformation under authoritarianism. Singapore’s economic success was influenced by many factors, both political (effective governance, professionalism and competence of political leaders, political stability), geographical (a small island state located at the crossroads of sea routes), and cultural (Asian values). The achievements in the socio-economic sphere as a result of political changes were so amazing that they even interested the main reformer of the PRC, Deng Xiaoping. Many Chinese officials and intellectuals see Singapore as a possible benchmark for China.As for Georgia, in applying authoritarian forms of transformation, the leaders of the young post-communist Georgian democracy largely imitated the modernization that took place in Southeast Asia, including Singapore. The authors come to the conclusion that era of Mikheil Saakashvili clearly demonstrates the powerful modernization leap of the Caucasian republic, which was not afraid of temporary authoritarian measures to accelerate political evolution.The Georgian experience of reforms became so successful that the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko (2014-2019) invited a Georgian landing of reformers to Ukraine to transform individual ministries – the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Health.
ПРОЦЕС ВНУТРІШНЬОПОЛІТИЧНОЇ ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЇ США (ЕЛЕКТРОНЕ/ЦИФРОВЕ УРЯДУВАННЯ): РЕТРОСПЕКТИВА ТА НОРМАТИВНО-ПРАВОВІ ЗАСАДИ
Authors: PETROV Pavlo
Published: March 2024

У рамках наукового дослідження здійснюється аналіз певних елементів внутрішньополітичної цифровізації США. Метою дослідження полягає у комплексному аналізі ретроспективи та нормативно-правових засад процесу внутрішньополітичної цифровізації США в контексті становлення електронного/цифрового урядування. Зазначається, що процеси трансформації системи міжнародних відносин знаходяться під впливом глобальних змін, що диктують тенденції до внутрішньої трансформації акторів міжнародних відносин, які у свою чергу повинні модернізуватись щоб бути здатними якісно позиціонуватись у системі міжнародних взаємин. Розуміння такої модернізації «центральних» акторів системи міжнародних відносин наддасть змогу усвідомити відповідні тенденції та напрямки для якісної трансформації «периферійних» держав. Розуміння яким чином «центральні» країни такі як США здійснюють подолання глобальних викликів, первинно у сфері інтеграції процесів цифровізації сприятиме виробленню якісних рекомендацій, у першу чергу, для «периферійних» акторів міжнародних відносин. Здійснюється комплексне дослідження ретроспективних нормативно-правових засад процесу цифровізації США починаючі з «базових» цифрових трансформації, що були притаманні періоду другої половини ХХ ст. та початку ХХІ ст. Визначається фундаментальний комплекс інституційні засади забезпечення внутрішньополітичної цифрової модернізації США. У висновках стверджується, що комплексний, модернізаційних підхід до процесу внутрішньополітичної цифровізації, зокрема проведення якісної інформаційної політики серед населення використовуючи технології соціальних мереж у поєднанні з якісним нормативно-правовим підґрунтям та розгалуженою системою політичних/неполітичних інститутів спряли всеохоплюючому впровадженню цифрових технологій у США.

Variation of the diet of the sea urchin (Diadema mexicanum (Diadematoida: Diadematidae)) according to its size in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
Authors: Bogantes-Retana Andrea , Barquero-Jackson José , Vargas-Guerrero Mario , Alvarado Juan José
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The sea urchin Diadema mexicanum, due to its bioerosion activity, is considered of ecological importance. This phenomenon could negatively or positively affect coral reef ecosystems. The bioerosion process varies according to the abundance and size of the sea urchin.

Objective: Juvenile organisms possess different metabolic needs compared to adults, so knowing their stomach content according to size allows us to quantify the selection of substrate bioeroded.

Methods: To determine this, D. mexicanum individuals were collected in 12 sites from January 2009 to September 2010 along the Eastern Tropical Pacific coast. The stomach content was categorized in Carbonated Fraction (CF), Non-Carbonated Fraction (NCF), and Organic Matter (OM). Stomach content was analyzed according to a) juvenile (< 2.5 cm) or adult (> 2.5 cm) stage and b) locality.

Results: Juveniles presented the following stomach content average percentages: 20.7 % OM, 12 % NCF and 67.9 % CF; and adults: 11.4 % OM, 14.8 % NCF and 73.8 % CF. Based on a Wilcoxon test and a Kendall linear regression, the following results were obtained. The carbonated fraction in the stomach increased by 0.47 units on average for every cm of growth (p < 0.05). OM consumed by D. mexicanum increases only 0.05 units for every cm of growth (p < 0.05). We found a difference of stomach content depending on the site (p < 0.05) and life stage (p < 0.05). Localities like Huatulco and Coco presented significant differences that could be related to local oceanographic conditions.

Conclusions: We relate these changes of the stomach fractions to the necessity of the juvenile sea urchins for nutrients to maintain their growth. The amount of OM is crucial for the development of early stages, meaning that there is a difference in substrate selection associated with growth.
Plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels in black-necked pheasants, gray and chukar partridges with cannibalism treated with silymarin and tryptophan
Authors: Nikolov S. , Kanakov D. , Ivanov V.
Published: March 2024

Plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels were studied in black-necked pheasants, gray partridges and chukar partridges divided into 4 groups (n=12 in each group; n=6 by sex): first group (negative control) – clinically healthy birds, second group – birds treated with tryptophan, third group – birds treated with sylimarin, fourth group (positive control) – birds with signs of cannibalism. In the pheasants and chukars with signs of cannibalism, cholesterol levels were higher than these in the control group. On the opposite, the triglyceride levels in the other three groups of birds with canniba­lism were substantially lower than those in the healthy group. Supplementation with tryptophan tended to increase blood cholesterol and triglycerides in pheasants, gray and chukar partridges. In the groups treated with silymarin, the levels of the studied indicators were significantly higher in comparison to birds with cannibalism.

Published: March 2024

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major human pathogen, because it causes both community- and hospital-acquired infections. Several multidrug-resistant high-risk clones of K. pneumoniae have been reported worldwide, and these are responsible for high numbers of difficult-to-treat infections. In Greece, a K. pneumoniae ST39 high-risk clone was detected in 2019 in a survey of carbapenem- and/or colistin-resistant Enterobacteriacae. The present study included nine carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates collected during a retrospective analysis from October 2020 to December 2020. They were isolated from nine different patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital in Volos, Greece, and they were selected for analysis due to their phenotypic profile. In this study, we analyzed A165 strain K. pneumoniae ST39 isolated from a blood culture in November 2020. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using Ion Torrent Platform, and resistance genes, virulence determinants, capsular types, insertion sequences, phage regions, and clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR) regions were detected by bioinformatic analysis. The molecular characterization revealed antimicrobial resistance genes, including sul2 for sulfamethoxazole; dfrA1 for trimethoprim; blaVIM-1 and blaKPC-2 for carbapenems; aac(6′)-II for aminoglycosides; fosA for fosfomycin and aad1 for streptomycin, blaSHV-40, blaSHV-85, blaSHV-79, blaSHV-56, and blaSHV-89 for beta-lactams. Point mutations were identified in ompK36, and ompK37 and in acrR, gyrA, parC. Several replicons were found, including CoIRNA, IncC, IncFIB(K), IncFIB(pQiL), and IncFII(K). The capsular typing revealed that the strain was KL23, O2afg. The genome sequence of A165 was submitted to NCBI under PRJNA1074377 and have been assigned to Genbank accession number JAZIBV000000000.
Excavations at the Umayyad and Early Abbasid Reservoir-Enclosure of ‘Ayn Sawda (Azraq Oasis, Jordan)
Authors: Abu Azizeh Lorraine , Bonnéric Julie , Couturaud Barbara , Stavy Aurélien
Published: March 2024

In the centre of the Azraq oasis in the Eastern Desert of Jordan, there is a long wall previously interpreted as a huge water reservoir that was fed by the ‘Ayn Sawda spring. The site, seen as belonging to the category of the Umayyad “desert castles,” is best known through the many basalt blocks with mortise and tenon joints that were found there, several being carved with figurative representations in bas and high relief. These form an exceptional archaeological collection with no known iconographic parallel. Given the uncertainty of both the function and dating of the structure, between 2013 and 2016, the Azraq ‘Ayn Sawda Reservoir Project (Ifpo) made a topographical plan of the site and an inventory of the carved blocks, and carried out excavations, an architectural study and an assessment of the state of preservation. The results suggest an enclosure delimiting an agricultural area to the west and a water reservoir to the east. It was built in the Umayyad period, somewhere between 664 and 690 AD, and probably reconfigured in early Abbasid times, somewhere between 768 and 900 AD. Excavation also revealed unusual and various building techniques designed for very specific environments. This monument exploited all the possibilities of this rich oasis to enhance the landscape.

DESIGN NEURAL NETWORK-PID CONTROLLER FOR TRAJECTORY TRACKING OF DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE MOBILE ROBOT
Authors: Thái Nguyễn Hồng
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes the design of a neural network controller based on a sample controller for controlling the trajectory-tracking motion of a differential drive mobile robot (DDMR). Firstly, the trajectory tracking model for DDMR is established based on position error. Next, a perceptron neural network is designed with three hidden layers to control the trajectory tracking of DDMR. The backpropagation algorithm is used to train the neural network with training data obtained from the PID controller with time-varying parameters. The authors have developed this approach and experimentally verified it with minor tracking errors. The neural network's weight matrix (W) and bias vector (b) are updated in real-time, providing an advantage over other methods. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by the DDMR's NURBS trajectory tracking error, which does not exceed 2.17 cm, and the DDMR's motion error, with linear and angular velocities not exceeding 0.004 m/s and 0.0007 rad/s, respectively. The proposed controller can supplement traditional controllers in controlling the trajectory of autonomous mobile robots, thereby improving the ability to generate local trajectories to avoid dynamic obstacles by the neural network

Ivan Puni in Berlin: an Emigrant’s View on Russian Art (Based on the Book «Modern Painting»)
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Galeeva Tamara A. , Petkau Aleksandra Yu. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: March 2024

The study is devoted to the artistic and critical activity of the Russian avant-garde master I. Puni within the framework of his Berlin period (1920–1923). The material for the analysis was the book «Modern Painting», written by I. Puni, which summarized not only the original texts of Puni’s public lectures, but also his reflection on the critical reaction that was provoked by them. Based on the structural-semiotic analysis, the author found that parallels could be drawn between Puni’s speeches (public lectures, responses to criticism) and his artistic works in the context of time and place (the first post-revolutionary wave of emigration from Russia 1918–1922). During his years of emigration, Puni was among those who formed views on the art of his time. During this period, the critic went from understanding the mechanistic techniques of the composition of Russian non-objective art to the importance of the intuitive principle as the basis of creativity and spectator work in the perception of a work of art, semantically filled and ambiguously readable. On the pages of the book, the artist joins the discussion with E. Lisitsky, V. Tatlin, the largest European artists, justifying his view on the pressure points of modern art.

Fishery and notes on the biology of Pacific ocean perch Sebastes alutus (Sebastidae) off the Commander Islands
Authors: Kurbanov Yu. K. , Ovcherenko R. T.
Published: March 2024

The  fishery and some aspects of the biology of the Pacific ocean perch  Sebastes alutus  off the Commander Islands. It has been established that the harvest of this species is episodic in nature, is not subject to seasonal dynamics and is carried out in a local area located west of the Bering Island. The contribution of this water area to the total catch of rockfishes in the Petropavlovsk-Commander subzone in 2001–2022 did not exceed 26.5%. Near the Commander Islands, S. alutus  was observed at depths of 138–370 m at a water temperature near-bottom of 3.1–3.9°C, and in catches it was represented by individuals 17–45 cm length. Presumably the formation of accumulations in the upper part of the continental slope to the west of the Bering Island is due to the presence of an anticyclonic circulation, which contributes to the formation of high concentrations of zooplankton as the main food source and favorable conditions for the development of spawned larvae.

Authors: Kang Hye-Kyung
Published: March 2024

This is a case study designed to determine the educational effect of online English content using the Storytelling Learning Method (SLM). The study focused on the course Learning English through Film offered by a cyber university in Seoul. A survey was conducted among 1,024 students from 86 universities who participated in the course. The course was based on the film A Dog’s Way Home (Smith, 2019) and followed the story of the film for 15 weeks over a semester. At the end of the semester, a survey was carried out to assess the following: 1) satisfaction with the online English learning content and improvement of English skills, 2) the effectiveness of SLM, and 3) students’ perceptions of their English skill improvement. The survey results revealed that 76% of the students found the SLM to be effective, and 92% expressed their interest and active participation in the course. In addition, 80% of the students reported that the online classes were more helpful in learning English, with listening and understanding context identified as the most improved language skills. These findings support the effectiveness of strategically structured course content utilizing SLM in terms of enhancing students’ motivation to learn and their academic achievements.
On Some Features of Axiological Analysis of Lexical Units in the Modern English Language (Based on Mass Media Texts)
Authors: Bobrova Ekaterina , Khokhlachev Evgeny
Published: March 2024

The relevance of the topic is due to the need for studying modern means of linguistic impact, including manipulation, which is a part of today’s Mass Media sphere. High axiological potential of lexical units, which is one of the most powerful means of linguistic impact, deserves special attention of language experts. Axiological aspect of lexical units can be detected in different language levels (lexical and semantic, textual) with the use of various research linguistic methods. The article provides an overview of theoretical basis for axiological analysis of lexical units in Mass Media texts in the modern English language. Besides, the text seeks to highlight several techniques for lexical axiological analysis, such as inherent and adherent evaluation, as well as combined evaluation of lexical units within the Mass Media text. As a result of the analysis, high axiological potential of lexical units in military and political sphere was revealed, including combined lexical units with adjectives as an evaluative component. The authors identified cases of combined evaluation within the Mass Media text as a sign of textual intentionality for making a linguistic impact on a reader.
Macroeconomic Transformations of the Russian Unemployment Rate at the Beginning of the XXI Century
Authors: Bylkov Vladimir
Published: March 2024

Unemployment is one of the main indicators of the labor market. The study analyzed the level of unemployment for more than 20 years of market transformations in Russia. The study examined characteristic of general and registered unemployment. The research determined the role of the dynamics of this indicator in assessing the current socio-economic situation in the country. We found that an increase in the unemployment rate indicates the formation of social risks of destabilization of the labor market. The conditions for the onset of crisis phenomena in the domestic labor market are predetermined. The study identified bifurcation points of changes in the indicative values of the indicator as an element of possible socio-economic shocks leading to deviations in the functioning of the labor market. It is confirmed that for an objective assessment of the factors affecting the unemployment rate, it is necessary to use labor supply and demand indicators. In addition, we analyzed the data on the number of citizens who applied in search of work to employment centers and the declared need for workers. Comparison of these indicators made it possible to draw very logical conclusions.

To compare surrogate markers of immunogenicity between recombinant and inactivated influenza vaccines, this study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis for each strain. Three databases of Medline (Pubmed), Embase and Cochrane Central were searched to identify all published literature up to July 2023. Out of a total of 1,658 initially identified articles, 14 randomized controlled trials were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The program R version 4.3.1 was used to estimate the mean difference of geometric mean titer (GMT) and the pooled risk ratio (RR) of seroconversion and seroprotection with 95% confidence intervals. The meta-analysis results found higher GMT effect sizes for recombinant influenza vaccines compared to inactivated vaccines for A/H3N2 (MD=124.87, 95% CI 52.63-197.11) and B/Yamagata (MD=19.89, 95% CI 7.61-32.17) strains. In terms of seroconversion rates, recombinant influenza vaccines exhibited higher seroconversion for A/H3N2 (RR=1.33, 95% CI 1.26-1.40) and B/Yamagata (RR=1.75, 95% CI 1.06-2.89) strains. Slightly higher seroprotection rates were observed for A/H3N2 (RR=1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07) and B/Yamagata (RR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.13) strains with recombinant vaccines. The findings from this study contribute valuable evidence for regulatory decisions when introducing recombinant vaccines in South Korea.

Published: March 2024

The phenomenon of the low literacy level of elementary school students that occurs at UPTD SDN 3 Kerticala has an impact on students' common writing and reading skills. One alternative way that can be done to improve literacy skills in students, especially writing skills, is with a journaling training program. The type of research the author uses is qualitative research with descriptive methods. The subject of implementing this journaling program is class IV with 9 students. The procedure used in this study is the action class, which consists of 4 stages: (1) planning, (2) implementation of the action, (3) observance or observation, and (4) reflection. There were still deficiencies in the research conducted, as this research was not very in-depth and only carried out once. Hence, the results could have been more optimal, and there were no significant results from implementing programs designed to improve students' literacy skills at UPTD SDN 3 Kerticala. This limitation is expected to be a reference for improvement and further program development.
