Social and Speech Portraiting as a Method for Studying Heritage Russian: Elderly Russian Emigrants in Harbin and their Descendants
Authors: Oglezneva Elena A.
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT This article aims to describe the Russian heritage speakers in Harbin, elderly emigrants and their descendants, using the social and speech portraiting method. The Russian diaspora in China arose in the late 19th century when the Chinese-Eastern railway was built – a joint Russian-Chinese project. After 1952, a mass exodus of the Russian population from China began: repatriation or emigration to Australia, the USA and Brazil. In the early 21st century, less than ten members of the Russian diaspora remained in Harbin. The specific nature of the Russian emigrant language in Harbin was described through the social and speech portraiting of the heritage speakers’ identities. This method may be used to analyze the language of emigrants in different countries, to reveal the unique and universal processes in it. Additionally, the article describes strategies and tactics for gathering language material from elderly informants.

Published: December 2022

Oral cancers (OCs), being one of the frequent malignancies in the head and neck region, need prompt diagnosis and treatment. Apart from basic therapeutic modalities, immunotherapy has now been utilized as a novel approach to combat the disease. With the comprehension of the strategies adopted by cancer cells to evade the immune elimination by the body's immune system, targeted immunotherapies have now become the core area of research. The immune expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), programmed cell death protein ligand-1 (PDL-1), etc., are enhanced in OC and have been associated with evasion of the immune system. Targeted immunotherapies now include monoclonal antibodies targeting EGFR like cetuximab and panitumumab, programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors like pembrolizumab, cemiplimab, and nivolumab, and PD-L1 inhibitors like atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab. Targeted immunotherapies like chimeric antigen receptor T-cell treatment and small molecule inhibitors are in several clinical trials tried as monotherapy and adjuvant immunotherapy and have shown promising results. Other immunothera-peutic approaches such as cytokines like interferons or interleukins, vaccines, and gene therapy have also been an area of research for the management of OC. However, the cautious selection of appropriate patients with specific immune characteristics as a candidate for immunotherapeutic agents is a crucial component of targeted immunotherapy. This article elaborates on the immune contexture of oral cancer cells, the mechanism of immune evasion by cancer cells, targets for immunotherapies, existent immunotherapeutic agents, and prospects in the field of immunotherapy.
Access gate-related lower limb fractures in children and adolescents: a review of injury patterns and evaluation of associated injuries
Authors: Phala M , Rachuene P , Socutshana B , Bila K
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Lower limb fractures occurring in and around the home environment and caused by collapsing access gates present frequently to our emergency unit. There is currently limited literature evaluating injuries resulting from access gate accidents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the patterns of lower limb fractures, management options offered and concomitant injuries in children as well as adolescents presenting with access gate-related lower limb traumas. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional review of 43 children with 46 lower limb fractures was conducted between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2020. Hospital records and radiology archives of all children and adolescents under 12 years of age (24 males and 8 females) with lower limb fractures sustained following an access gate injury were reviewed and included for analysis. Data was analysed descriptively using SAS (SAS Institute Inc, Carey, NC, USA), Release 9.4. RESULTS: The prevalence of access gate-related injuries for all lower limb fractures in children and adolescents treated during the four-year period was 11%. The findings revealed that femur fractures are more common, accounting for 50.0% of the cases. The majority of cases were of patients younger than 6 years (71.9%), and predominantly affecting males (3:1). The fractures occurred in a home environment and were commonly related to non-motorised gates, in 93.8% of cases. The oblique fracture patterns comprised 40.6% of the fractures, and 68.8% of the fractures were located in the diaphysis. Open fractures constituted 50.0% of the tibia fractures. Mild head injuries associated with lower limb fractures were observed in 12.5% of the cases. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated the prevalence of lower limb fractures above all injuries related to access gates. The majority of the injuries observed in this study occurred in manually operated gates, and commonly affected younger patients. In light of these findings, further studies are required into the reasons for these injuries and preventative measures Level of evidence: Level 4.
Truth or DAIR? A review of debridement, antibiotics and implant retention
Authors: Blair N , van der Merwe J , Matshidza S
Published: December 2022

Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is a viable treatment option in early postoperative and acute haematogenous periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) with a stable implant. Despite lower success rates compared to one- and two-stage revisions, DAIR maintains satisfactory outcomes in selected patient groups and, if successful, has similar functional outcomes to primary arthroplasty. DAIR remains an attractive treatment option, providing satisfactory outcomes with decreased healthcare costs, reduced surgical burden on the patient and shorter hospital stays. With success rates of 37-90%, various factors need to be considered when deciding on DAIR as the appropriate treatment option for PJI. The risk of DAIR failure needs to be weighed against the potential benefits of DAIR success. Factors that increase success rates include an open DAIR procedure performed for a low-virulence, antibiotic-sensitive organism, within a short duration between symptom onset and/or index surgery and DAIR. The procedure involves intraoperative exchange of mobile components and copious wound irrigation, followed by an appropriate antibiotic regimen for a minimum of six weeks that can be administered either intravenously or orally in a well-optimised host, without significant soft tissue defects or contraindications to surgery. Factors increasing the risk for DAIR failure include chronic/late PJIs with resistant organisms, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in poor hosts with significant comorbidities, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis, advanced age > 80 years, patients with fracture indications for arthroplasty and those who cannot tolerate rifampicin- and fluoroquinolone-based antibiotic regimens. Unfortunately, there is no definitive factor to serve as an indication of whether DAIR will be successful, but with recent data showing that a failed DAIR procedure does not lower success in future staged revisions, then even in the face of a 50% success rate, DAIR can maintain its role as an initial treatment option in the management of PJIs
IMPROVING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF OIL WELL CEMENT USING POLYPROPYLENE FIBERS AND EVALUATING A NEW LABORATORY METHOD FOR MEASURING THE CASING CEMENT BONDING STRENGTH
Authors: Al Khalaf Hani , Federer Kovacsne Gabriella , Mohammed Nagham Alhaj , Remeczki Ferenc
Published: December 2022

The main objective of this study is to enhance the poor performance of oil well cement in terms of mechanical properties by using pure polypropylene fibers. Polypropylene fibers were added in increasing concentrations from 0 to 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, and 0.9% by weight of cement (BWOC). Rheological parameters, density, fluid loss, permeability, porosity, compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength were all tested. A new method for measuring the tensile strength of cement samples in the presence of a casing is also evaluated in this research. In addition, the interfacial bonding shear strength, which represents the strength of cement adhesion to the casing, was measured using a new laboratory procedure. The influence of adding polypropylene fibers on rheology, density, and fluid loss can be ignored, according to the results of the experiments. The permeability and porosity of cement samples increased as the proportion of polypropylene fibers increased, according to the findings. Further, an increase in polypropylene fibers concentration up to 0.3% BWOC led to improving the mechanical properties at different curing times. The bonding strength of the casing cement interface improved with increasing polypropylene fibers concentration up to 0.5% BWOC.

ON THE QUESTION OF THE PRACTICAL DIRECTION OF THE CREATIVE HERITAGE OF A. I. KOSHELEV
Authors: Laguzova Мaria A.
Published: December 2022

Aim. To evaluate the practical orientation of the journalistic, publishing, and memoir activities of A. I. Koshelev.

Methodology. The basis of the study is the content analysis of journalistic articles and memoirs of A. I. Koshelev in order to identify the author's orientation towards solving real problems facing the state. The creative heritage of A. I.Koshelev is studied in the context of the political events of the 19th century. 

Results. An important difference between A. I. Koshelev and most of his associates in the Slavophile circle is revealed: the predominantly practical orientation of literary and journalistic creative work. There are no abstract philosophical works among the works of the thinker, attention is focused on the practical issues of the life of the country in the 19th century: the socio-political structure, the development of the economy and finance, railway construction, publishing, etc. 

Research implications. Practical interest to the modern reader can be found in the judgments of A. I. Koshelev on optimizing the structure of the state life of Russia and on improving the forms of interaction between the authorities and the people. The relevance of the publicist's legacy is due to his negative attitude towards radicalism and commitment to the ideas of preserving the historical foundations of society and state.

The State of Positive Education in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE
Authors: Jules Tavis , Nelson Amy , Mayworm Ashley
Published: December 2022

As part of Vision 2021 and the National Strategy for Wellbeing 2031 (Emirates News Agency, 2019), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has begun the journey of implementing positive education (PE). As a facet of positive psychology, PE focuses on school-based interventions and programs that target student well-being to ensure that youth are developing skills that contribute to their happiness and support their well-being (White et al., 2017). However, this approach is relatively new in the UAE, and much still remains to be learned about the most successful way to implement and evaluate it. The course of PE implementation in the UAE is similar to the implementation of other approaches targeting student well-being across the globe, namely social-emotional learning (SEL). Much like PE, SEL is viewed as an umbrella construct that focuses on developing specific competencies related to emotional intelligence in children and adults that impact their well-being (Elias et al., 1997).
Regulating Private Higher Education Quality in the UAE to Become an Educational Destination: Federal, Provincial, and Institutional Interests
Authors: Buckner Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

This policy paper examines how private higher education is regulated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with particular attention to whether branch campuses can and should seek national or international accreditations. Drawing on interview-based fieldwork in three provinces in the UAE, it identifies contrasting visions for the role of the private sector in the country. These conflicting visions create numerous challenges for the stakeholders involved, including private universities, who must balance multiple goals of regulators, shareholders, and students. The policy paper suggests that, as the UAE increasingly positions itself as an educational destination, meeting students’ diverse goals for their education needs to be a key consideration in policy reform.

Authors: Elmenghawi Fathia , Proff Alexandria
Published: December 2022

Despite a growing interest in the field of women and environments, the focus is mostly placed on women’s activities and needs in the home with less research on women’s use of public space. This study will examine women’s use of public space in Ras Al Khaimah. It aims at exploring the similarities and differences in women’s use of different public spaces. Two types of public spaces were chosen: educational and recreational. Schools were selected for the former and malls for the latter.
Findings of this study suggest that targeted leadership skills program for women at Ras Al Khaimah should be introduced to promote more meaningful engagement in public spaces, and urban public spaces should be designed to meet women’s needs for accessibility and privacy. These findings indicate the necessity of investing in creating culturally responsive public spaces that can be used by women and girls.

Published: December 2022

Background and Aim: Noise pollution is one of the urban problems that can affect the exposed individuals’ cognitive function. This study set to investigate the impact of traffic noise on drivers’ cognitive variables including perceptual capacity, speed of perception, and divided attention concerning the role of individual orientation and neuroticism.
Methods: This study recruited 35 male student participants. The Eysenck personality questionnaire was used to evaluate the participants’personalities (neuroticism and extroversion). Participants were then exposed to traffic noise, and the Adaptive Tachistoscopic Traffic Perception Test (ATTPT) was performed to assess their capacity and speed of perception. The Peripheral Perception Test (PPT) was also conducted to evaluate the divided attention using the Vienna test system software.
Results: Introverted and stable individuals had better performance  in perceptual  capacity and speed of perception tasks after exposure to traffic noise. However, these effects were not observed in extrovert and unstable individuals. This study also showed no significant alterations in variables in extroverted (introverted/extroverted) subjects with neuroticism (unstable/stable) concerning divided attention tasks after traffic noise exposure.
Conclusion: This study showed that divided attention in extrovert individuals with neuroticism was not influenced by traffic noise exposure. But perceptual capacity and perception speed was influenced by traffic noise in introverts and unstable subjects.
Keywords: Traffic noise; divided attention; perception; individual differences

Authors: Amiri Marzieh , Mohammadi Mahshid , Razavi Seyyedeh Zeinab , Abdollahi Hossein , Iran Pour Mobarakeh Zahra
Published: December 2022

Background and Aim: Adding noise to the speech audiometry tests increases the sensitivity and specificity of them. This study aimed to investigate the normative data for the Speech-in- Noise (SIN) perception test in normal-hearing adults aged 18–25, and evaluate the effect of gender and ear laterality on the test score.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 126 adults aged 18–25 years with mean(SD) of age: 22.28(1.61) years old participated. The SIN perception test using Persian monosyllabic words was performed in quiet and using 5 signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs; 0,± 5 and ± 10).
Results: The mean of SIN perception score was 96.48, 91 and 82.79% at the SNRs of +10, +5, and 0 for the right ear, and 97.09, 91.42, and 84.11% at the SNRs of +10, +5, and 0 for the left ear, respectively. The interaction effect of gender and ear laterality had no statistically significant effect on the test results in quiet and at any SNRs (p>0.05). Moreover, the main effect of gender on the test score was not significant (p>0.05), and there was no significant difference in the test score between the right and left ears (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Given the importance of including the SIN perception test in the routine audiology tests, considering normative data for this test is important. The normative data found in this study for this test can be routinely used in audiology clinics.

Application of Roy’s Adaptation Model in Clinical Nursing: A Systematic Review
Authors: Hosseini Marzieh , Soltanian Mitra
Published: December 2022

Background: Adaptation is a process in which a person is actively involved for a period of time and uses different strategies. Roy’s adaptation model sees individuals as an adaptive system in a stable interaction with internal and external environment; therefore, they constantly change and try to adapt. When the individual does not make the desired adaptation and hence ineffective responses, nurses learn about it. The present study aimed to systematically review the studies conducted in Iran on the Roy’s adaptation model.
Methods: This is a systematic review study, and it has been done purposefully by focusing on research purpose. A computerized search was performed systematically with no time limitation till October 2021, by using keywords: Roy’s adaptation model, Nursing and Iran in Web of Sciences, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, IranDoc, SID and Magiran databases. The articles were evaluated using the Consort checklist. A total of 235 articles were found, and the systematic review of the articles was performed based on PRISMA. Finally, full text of 34 suitable articles were selected and analyzed after several steps of evaluation.
Results: Out of the reviewed articles, 23.52% were published in international journals in English and 76.47% were published in Iranian journals in Persian and English. All the articles were original researches and intervention studies that 5.88, 47.05, 41.17, and 5.88% of them were experimental, quasi-experimental, clinical trial, and randomized controlled trials, respectively. Also, in all the studies pre-test and post-test were used, 5.88, 88.23, and 5.88% of them utilized random, availability, and block sampling, respectively.
Conclusion: Application of care program based on the Roy’s adaptation model increased physical and psychological adaptive (healthy) behaviors in patients with chronic diseases, which might improve the patients’ psychological adaptation to the disease, proper disease control, reduction of complications, and quality of nursing care.

Determining Serum Amyloid-A (SAA), Haptoglobin (Hp), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α) and Interleukins-1 (IL-1β) and 6 (IL-6) Levels in Neonatal Calves with Amoebiasis
Authors: Kabu M. , Koca H.B. , Sayber G.
Published: December 2022

Background: Amoebiasis is a pathogen organism which is well-known both in human and veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to determine serum amyloid-A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukins-1 (IL-1β) and 6 (IL-6) levels in neonatal calves which were naturally infected with amoebiasis. Methods: In the study, 40 one to four-week-old calves with amoebiasis which were clinically diagnosed with diarrhea and were non-responsive to the treatment, and 10 healthy calves were used. From the stool samples taken from the calves which were clinically diagnosed with diarrhea, Entamoeba histolytica was detected by using ELISA kit. Serum was obtained from the blood taken from vena jugularis from all calves. Concentrations of SAA, Hp, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in serum were measured in ELISA by using commercial kits. Also, some enzymes measurements were made from serum. Result: Concentrations of SAA, Hp, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in calves with amoebiasis were higher (p less than 0.05) in comparison to the control group. To conclude, amoebiasis led to an increase in the concentrations of SAA, Hp, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in neonatal calves. We suggest that this might have stemmed from the inflammatory response against amoebiasis.
Andamiaje: a casi medio siglo de su creación
Authors: Díaz Maggioli Gabriel
Published: December 2022

La metáfora del andamiaje fue acuñada en la segunda mitad del siglo XX para dar cuenta de una forma específica de mediación de los aprendizajes. Desde su inicio en el campo educativo, ha evolucionado y se la ha utilizado para hacer referencia a una amplia variedad de constructos relacionados con la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Debido a la polisemia resultante de esta situación, se decidió realizar un metaanálisis de la literatura sobre andamiaje desde su incepción hasta tiempos recientes. Dicho metaanálisis confirmó la existencia de diferentes conceptualizaciones de la metáfora y evidenció la necesidad de abogar por un posicionamiento epistemológico específico en el campo de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.
Deconstructing Sins from the Moral Compass of Don Carlos Cobello in F. Sionil Jose’s Sins
Authors: Edaniol Aubrey Anne C. , Medina Benedict O.
Published: December 2022

The novel “Sins” by F. Sionil Jose depicts the adventurous life of an affluent man whose confessions rationalize the sins he committed as judged only against social standards but ironically narrates the dire consequences as moral concepts. The study aims to deconstruct the prevailing theme of sins as social notions to prove that sins are moral constructs and to teach that morality is an inherent feature of man's mortality. To establish these contradicting ideologies, the study utilized the deconstruction approach in literary criticism by Jacques Derrida. Deconstructionism exposes embedded ideologies by revealing inconsistencies in the text. Specifically, content analysis was integrated to examine words and phrases in-depth to analyze rooted messages. This paper found out that the novel claims incest, premarital sex, and sexual exploitation as sins established only by society and should be judged by it and not beyond it. However, through investigating its instabilities, it was revealed that the novel actually justifies sins against the character's morality because of his belief in mortality as the recipient of suffering, forgiveness, retributive punishments, and even conscience. Thus, the novel inculcates that sins are not just mere social concepts, they are the foremost moral constructs.

The inclusiveness of women's lives is not enough if it only about social life, but it must also be involved in every process of formulating state legislation through the legislature. To fulfill this, women must be actively connected in the electoral process in parliamentary seats held and women's representation, The role of woman in national legislation is a form of effort to make legal products that are inclusive of woman's lives. The role of women in national legislation is very important considering that every year there are considerable amount of women who nominate themselves as legislators. There are two research questions provided in this study; the first is how woman's political rights portrayed in national legislation according to Act No.7 of 2017. It aims to find out how woman's political rights portrayed in national legislation according to Act No.7 of 2017. This is the basic foundation of women's political rights which have been regulated in the law which includes a 30 percent quota of women in legislation. The second research question is, how the concept of women's political rights in national legislation according to Yusuf Al-Qardhawi. It aims; (1) to explain the concept of this contemporary scholars, Yusuf Al-Qardhawi, regarding to his opinion, (2) to compare the law in Indonesia with the concept of Yusuf Al-Qardhawi on his partiality towards the role of women as legislators.  This research is a type of normative legal research or literature study. This research uses a combination of approaches, they are law approach and conceptual approach. The data source used is a secondary data source. The data analysis method used is by analyzing the application of hermeneutics or interpretation.  The results of this study show that; First, Act No. 7 of 2017 on general elections, what needs to be underlined in this case is that the biggest challenge of achieving the results of the 2014 legislative election, there are improvements in the administrative sector of the General Election Commission (KPU), not only with sanctions given to the party in fulfilling the 30 percent quota but also emphasizing understanding towards women before nominating themselves as legislators with political education and understanding them the importance of the 30 percent quota. Secondly, The concept offered by contemporary scholar Yusuf Qardhawi regarding the representation of women in the realm of national legislation in Parliament is very moderate and follow the times.

Insect infestations are considered one of the major problems causing enormous economic losses in stored grains. Laboratory bioassays were performed to establish the mortality induced by the commercially available Beauveria bassiana strain ATCC74040 (formulated product: Naturalis®) and by Metarhizium anisopliae strain CIST8 against four stored products pests. Adults of four grain and legume pest species (Cathartus quadricollis, Callosobruchus maculatus, Sitophilus granarius, and Oryzaephilus surinamensis) were exposed in laboratory assays to three different concentrations (103, 105 and 107/mL) of each entomopathogenic fungal strain. For each insect species, fungal strain and concentration, the mortality was recorded daily over a period of 7 days. Mean survival time and final cumulative mortality were determined, and 7-day mortality curves were established. A significant effect of insect species, fungal strain, and conidial concentration was observed on the 7-day mortality curves and the final cumulative mortality. Also, the mean survival time varied significantly with the conidial concentration. In addition, a significant interaction between insect species and fungal strain was recorded for all three assessed parameters. In general, at all tested concentrations, B. bassiana strain ATCC 74040 caused higher mortality than M. anispliae strain CIST8 in all four insect species. Our results suggest that entomopathogenic fungi could be effectively used as part of an integrated pest management program for the control of legumes and grain pests.

The existential construction in Spoken Modern Hebrew
Authors: Halevy Rivka
Published: December 2022

This contribution is part of the Debate section that dialogues with the two-part paper "The Syntax of Existential Constructions" by Shlomo Izre'el from Tel-Aviv University published in Volume 11 in 2022. In this response and rejoinder to Izre'el's monumental paper on existential constructions in spoken Israeli Hebrew, I call attention to the fact that unlike European languages, Hebrew is a non-subject oriented or non-configurational language type, and highlight that existential particle yeš in Hebrew is a TAM marker. I further enhance on the multifactionality of constructions featuring particle yeš far beyond bare assertion of existence. In addition, I refer to the high productivity of competitive configurations to the bare existential yeš construction based on a range of eventive-situative and locational verbs that are widespread in current use of Hebrew.

Published: December 2022

This study aims to examine the philosophy of compliance with sami’na wa atho’na in the accountingeducation process. The object of this research is a Vocational High School as known as SMK MHI Jember, avocational school that is established and operates in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. This type ofresearch is a qualitative research with Husserl Phenomenology method. The resource persons in this studyamounted to 4 people, namely the chairman of the pesantren foundation, the treasurer of the foundation, thechairman of the MHI Vocational School, and the accounting teacher of the MHI Vocational School. This studyshows that the phenomenon of strict sami’na wa atho’na is not just student compliance with the teacher, but aspart of ethical development in the accounting education process at SMK MHI. Theoretically, the results of thisstudy can contribute to the accounting learning process which in the process emphasizes the usefulness of theaccounting discipline through the formation of the ethical character of students, as David Hume's theory ofUtilitarian Ethics, that an activity and policy is said to be good if it can provide benefits to the majority ofsociety. In addition, accounting educators and educational institutions that have study programs or accountingexpertise competencies can take the results of this study into consideration for manifesting the philosophy ofsami'na wa ato'na in the development of the accounting education curriculum in the era of the independentcurriculum and the 4.0 industrial revolution, where the moral crisis is be of serious concern.
Opportunities and Challenges in the Implementation of Plurality - Majority (District) Electoral System for Strengthening the Indonesian Presidential System
Authors: Aris Mohammad Syaiful
Published: December 2022

Presidential government system has its own disadvantages, one of them is the possibility a minority president presence in this system, namely a president who is not supported by a parliamentary majority, even though the President has a strong mandate from public, but with a minority position, the government’s agenda which carried out by the president could be hampered by parliament or the legislature, therefore it is needed a coalition government. The combination of a presidential system with a multi-party system is difficult to implement because whoever the president is elected will be encountered with a certain condition that it is impossible to support him in parliament without forming a coalition. In order to respond the problem in strengthening the presidential system in Indonesia, the author offers a majority general election system or district system (first Past the Post) as an effort to create an effective and responsible government. This is a legal study which used two approaches, namely statutory approach and conceptual approach. Based on the results of study, it can be concluded that the majority system was more appropriate for creating an effective and responsible government because it could encourage the simplification of political parties and the responsibilities of people’s representatives to the voters in each district.
SLOVAK AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR THE FIRST-YEAR BACHELOR STUDENTS
Authors: Gluchmanova Marta
Published: December 2022

Every year, more and more foreign students are enrolled at the Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies in Prešov of the Technical University in Kosice. For this reason, Slovak Language for Foreign Students was introduced as a compulsory subject in the 1st year of bachelor’s study. The purpose of the paper was to emphasize the teaching of Slovak as a foreign language and thus help to overcome the problems of foreign students in studying professional subjects. The aim is to provide them with suitable tailor-made study material within the blended form of teaching. Slovak language teachers at the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities used mixed innovative methods and forms of study and tried to increase the language and communication skills of students. The paper compares the results of e-exercises and the final e-test of 140 foreign students from different study programmes in the first year of their bachelor study in the winter semester 2021. Slovak language teachers were able to identify students’ strengths and weaknesses based on the results of experimental research. Elimination of the most frequent mistakes will help students to increase the level of technical Slovak language, which they can apply during the study of professional subjects and in future practice in Slovak companies. The university-wide Moodle platform was used for blended learning in teaching Slovak as a foreign language at the Faculty.

Sports traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for up to 20% of all sports injuries, and the number of cases is growing year by year due to an increase in the number of people involved in sports, the growing popularity of extreme and contact sports, as well as a high level of motivation to achieve record results. Mild TBI dominates, which can provoke the development of a very wide range of complications and negative consequences. In the programs for the prevention of complications and the rehabilitation of athletes after TBI, TBI features are not sufficiently considered, which significantly differ from household, road or criminal injuries. There are no instrumental methods for diagnosing the severity of the injury. Sports TBI is characterized by repeated frequent TBI, elevated body and brain temperature, peripheral redistribution of blood flow and hypocapnia, which significantly affect cerebral blood flow. Brain injury is an independent cause of the development of cerebral hyperthermia, which significantly worsens the consequences of TBI. To diagnose sports TBI, the method of microwave radiometry of the brain (MWR) can be used. For the prevention of complications, the technology of craniocerebral hypothermia (CCH), which allows for to reduce of physical general and cerebral hyperthermia, and increases the resistance of cerebral cortex neurons to hypoxia and trauma could be used However, these approaches in sports medicine are used sporadically, which, is due to the lack of awareness of coaches and doctors of sports teams. The purpose of the review is to present MWR and CCH in sports TBI.

Due to an increase in the consumption of food, feed, and fuel and to meet global food security needs for the rapidly growing human population, there is a necessity to obtain high-yielding crops that can adapt to future climate changes. Currently, the main feed source used for ruminant livestock production is forage grasses. In temperate climate zones, perennial grasses grown for feed are widely distributed and tend to suffer under unfavorable environmental conditions. Gene editing has been shown to be an effective tool for the development of abiotic stress-resistant plants. The highly versatile CRISPR-Cas system enables increasingly complex modifications in genomes while maintaining precision and low off-target frequency mutations. In this review, we provide an overview of forage grass species that have been subjected to gene editing. We offer a perspective view on the generation of plants resilient to abiotic stresses. Due to the broad factors contributing to these stresses the review focuses on drought, salt, heat, and cold stresses. The application of new genomic techniques (e.g., CRISPR-Cas) allows addressing several challenges caused by climate change and abiotic stresses for developing forage grass cultivars with improved adaptation to the future climatic conditions. Gene editing will contribute towards developing safe and sustainable food systems.

Published: December 2022

Poplar and willow species in the Salicaceae are dioecious, yet have been shown to use different sex determination systems located on different chromosomes. Willows in the section Vetrix are interesting for comparative studies of sex determination systems, yet genomic resources for these species are still quite limited. Only a few annotated reference genome assemblies are available, despite many species in use in breeding programs. Here we present de novo assemblies and annotations of 11 shrub willow genomes from six species. Copy number variation of candidate sex determination genes within each genome was characterized and revealed remarkable differences in putative master regulator gene duplication and deletion. We also analyzed copy number and expression of candidate genes involved in floral secondary metabolism, and identified substantial variation across genotypes, which can be used for parental selection in breeding programs. Lastly, we report on a genotype that produces only female descendants and identified gene presence/absence variation in the mitochondrial genome that may be responsible for this unusual inheritance.

Authors: Palma Dewi Isabella , Nadiasari Eliana
Published: December 2022

Distance learning is learning that is carried out separately between students and educators, the learning carried out is designed using communication tools or learning management media to support learning. In the 21st century, there are abilities that must be mastered by someone called 21st Century Competencies, one of which is the ability to collaborate. The purpose of this study is to describe distance learning activities to teach student collaboration skills and describe the influence of learning activities on distance learning in developing collaboration skills. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with a literature review method equipped with field data. The results showed that there are several things that need to be considered in designing distance learning activities to teach students' collaboration skills, namely 1) dividing students into groups, 2) using media that supports students to provide responses, ideas, comments and so on in the form of video conference forums and LMS, 3) instructions on feedback activities, and 4) the culture built in learning activities. Indicators of collaboration ability are also obtained, namely 1) cooperation and interdependence to achieve common goals such as cooperation in groups, discussion, active contribution, and flexibility, 2) being responsible for the basis of learning and behavior of each such as being responsible for work and working productively, and 3) the implementation of a cohesive work activity such as being able to adapt, communicate well,  and respect for others.  In addition, there are advantages and disadvantages of this design of distance learning activities.
