Many factors affect someone's learning of English. It can be the learners themselves and their environment. Several students aim to achieve a high stage of proficiency in English, but various obstacles hinder their progress. Some positive and negative language attitudes affect students' achievement and performance in English. Negative language attitudes affect students' achievement and performance in English, such as feeling shy, lazy, or uninterested in practicing and using the language. In this journal the researcher would like to find and share how a Positive Language Attitude affects proficiency and performance in English. The researcher will use a qualitative approach to conduct a survey using questionnaires to collect the data and read through all the results of the questionnaires to draw some of the effects between positive language attitudes and motivation toward students' proficiency and performance in Learning English as a second language. There are 50 students from Pre-Elementary Class F at Universitas Klabat Manado which the researcher chose to be the participants. As a result, the students can increase their achievement and performance in English by having a positive language attitude and being highly motivated.

The research was conducted to study the effect of hypochromic anemia in during the middle of the third trimester of gestation on production indicators and the quality of the offspring obtained. It was found that in the cows in case of the hypochromic anemia during gestation, milk productivity decreases with a high degree of probability and the duration of the service period increases. In addition, the quality of the resulting offspring decreases, which is characterized by the presence of antenatal anemia and body weight deficit. With a decrease in the hemoglobin level to 79.0 g/L in cows during gestation, the risk of fetal hypoxia increases, and with its lower value, the risk of giving birth to calves with hypotrophy syndrome increases. The sensitivity of the indicator was 1.0%, and its specificity was 41.2%.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this work is to describe the structural parameters of the immune system organs in the Mute swan (Cygnus olor). The work was carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Pathological Anatomy and Histology of the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. The object of the study were the corpses of immature Mute swans, the subject – the organs of the immune system (spleen, thymus, cloacal bursa). It has been established that the topography, macro- and microscopic structure of the cloacal bursa, thymus and spleen do not differ significantly from those of other members of the Aves class. The wall of the cloacal bursa consists of mucous, muscular and serous membranes. The folds of the cloacal bursa are lined with a single-layer multi-row epithelium, and the lymphoid follicles are the functional units of the organ. Macroscopic and histological studies have not found the presence of pathological changes in the thymus, spleen and cloacal bursa (necrosis, atrophy, hyperplasia, etc.), which characterizes them as fully functioning organs of the immune system, capable of fully performing their functions. Also, the paper presents the indicators of micromorphometry of the organs of the immune system of the Mute swans, which on the whole is a generalization of the studies.

Published: March 2024

The article presents calculations on the economic efficiency of the complex drug Virocoсcide for the treatment of trichocephalosis in cattle. In Belarus, nematodoses of the gastrointestinal tract of cattle are quite widespread, which annually cause significant economic damage to animal husbandry. So, with nematodoses of the gastrointestinal tract, the development of young animals is significantly reduced. Some trichostrongilides, trichocephalus are hematophagous and cause large blood loss in animals. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of Virococcide was carried out according to the results of average daily weight gain of calves after deworming. In 14 days after the application of the Virococcide, the average daily gain of the calves increased to 750.25 g/day, which is 1.60 times higher than in the infested animals. Statistically reliable data after application of the Virococcide were preserved until the end of the study, the greatest increase in calf gain was observed 28 days after deworming. During this period, it was 801.25 g/day, which is 1.70 times higher than the infected control group. The average increase in live weight gain per calf after application of the Virococcide was 36.79 kg, in the control group – 26.2 kg. The economic efficiency of using Virococcide at a dose of 100 mg/kg live weight twice per animal amounted per ruble cost to 10.96 ruble. And the economic efficiency of the basic preparation of fenbendazole as a single oral dose of 37.5 mg/kg live weight amounted per ruble of costs to 5.27 rubles.

Authors: N. Igwe Nwamaka , G. Orluwene Chituru , A Okerengwo Anthonia
Published: March 2024

Background: Low-grade inflammation, characterized by increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and decrease of anti-inflammatory cytokines, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and its associated complications. The study determined the levels of Adipokines (Leptin and Adiponectin) in obese and non-obese subjects with or without hypertension in a Nigerian population, in comparison with healthy (control) subjects.
Method: This cross-sectional study involved 60 physician diagnosed obese subjects attending the Endocrine and cardiology Clinics of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, and 60 sex matched non-obese subjects recruited from the blood donor centre. Obese subjects were divided into two groups: subjects with (30) and without (30) hypertension based on Physician assessment. Controls were also divided into two groups: controls with (30) and without (30) hypertension based on Physician assessment. Serum levels of leptin and adiponectin were evaluated using commercial Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique.
Result: The results showed that the mean serum level of leptin was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the subjects (1598.65+151.1; 2833.35+297.1) compared to controls (1408.28+503.4;1269.85+511.3). Also, the mean serum level of adiponectin was significantly (P<0.05) lower in the subjects (6.64+4.0;7.12+1.3) compared to controls (8.34+5.4;18.25+8.2).
Conclusion: The results suggest that serum levels of leptin and adiponectin were altered, and that obesity and hypertension are associated with elevated and decreased serum concentration of leptin and adiponectin, respectively in the Nigerian population studied, which greatly affects the physiology of the immune cells and hereby generating a pathogenic environment in obesity and hypertension.

Advanced Machine Learning application for Permeability Prediction for (M) Formation in an Iraqi Oil Field
Authors: Mohammed Noor alhuda K. , Farman Ghanim M.
Published: March 2024

Permeability estimation is a vital step in reservoir engineering due to its effect on reservoir's characterization, planning for perforations, and economic efficiency of the reservoirs. The core and well-logging data are the main sources of permeability measuring and calculating respectively. There are multiple methods to predict permeability such as classic, empirical, and geostatistical methods. In this research, two statistical approaches have been applied and compared for permeability prediction: Multiple Linear Regression and Random Forest, given the (M) reservoir interval in the (BH) Oil Field in the northern part of Iraq. The dataset was separated into two subsets: Training and Testing in order to cross-validate the accuracy and the performance of the algorithms. The random forest algorithm was the most accurate method leading to lowest Root Mean Square Prediction Error (RMSPE) and highest Adjusted R-Square than multiple linear regression algorithm for both training and testing subset respectively. Thus, random Forest algorithm is more trustable in permeability prediction in non-cored intervals and its distribution in the geological model.

Authors: Khan Natasha , Khan Shaukat , Rehman Faisal , Sajid Muhammad
Published: March 2024

The structural and seismic properties of the Paleocene carbonate reservoir are re-evaluated, using 3D seismic data multi-attributes, to improve reservoir prediction accuracy rarely documented earlier. This study highlights a number of relevant post-stack seismic attributes for understanding the structural setup and seismic properties of a carbonate reservoir. The structural analysis was carried out using seismic interpretation, combined with multi-attribute analysis for prospect actualization and generation of a 3D structural model to determine the structural aspect. The structural interpretation reveals the presence of faults and an asymmetrical anticlinal structure demonstrating a four-way closure, confirming compressional tectonics. The high amplitude anomaly (-6 to 12) combined with the RMS attribute (23 to 32) suggests bright spots in the Paleocene carbonate reservoir and gas saturated zone, the variance attribute (0.05 to 0.03) highlights the presence of two major faults, and the lower instantaneous frequency demonstrates the presence of hydrocarbons. The attribute results indicate that the Lockhart Limestone possesses good reservoir potential as revealed by DHI (bright spot), gas saturated zone and a trapping mechanism supported by four-way structure closure in the region and can help to understand analogous carbonate reservoirs in similar geological settings around the world.

Published: March 2024

The presence and emergence of Neo-Protestant cults on Romanian territory beginning with 19th aroused several reactions both from traditional churches and from civil authorities. The attitude towards the "newcomers" was different, taking various forms of manifestation. These reactions varied in intensity: from opposition to persecution. They also differed from one territory to another. The authorities (civil and religious) have acted independently of each other and in synergy. Most often the association was led by the pressure from the religious authority towards the political authority. These reactions also produced several effects among the modern religious movements. This presentation will show some of them. It is also worth emphasizing the attitude of civil society where it existed and was preserved in historical sources.
THE GENEALOGY OF CAMEROON'S COLONIAL DEBT NEGOTIATION
Authors:   PhD, University of Yaounde I, Cameroon, Christelle Nadège Guedem Noumbi
Published: March 2024

Negotiation is a process of communication and exchanges between at least two parties whose object concerns the organization of a relationship or the settlement of a problem between them. During the decolonisation, France and Cameroon decided to share the assets and liabilities located on the territory of Cameroon. This distribution, a consequence of negotiation, started before independence, was the way to peacefully settle questions of the State’s debts. Alexander-Nahum Sack, jurist and specialist of the State’s succession, thinks that negotiation is the appropriate way to peacefully settle financial issues such as infrastructure management and colonial debts during the territorial separation of the former colonial power from the former colony. This historical essay therefore intends to show that, instead of asking for cancellation, France and Cameroon authorities agreed for distribution after several negotiations. So, the imputation of the debt contracted by France in Cameroon on January 1, 1960, is the consequence of an agreement. It is within this framework that on April 16, 1957, the two parties set down in a first document which was to serve as a compass for subsequent meetings, the legal bases relating to the postcolonial management of foreign investments in Cameroon, while laying down the milestones for their future bilateral cooperation. Based on a variety of documentation, the aim is to show that France and Cameroon, after negotiations, have choosen the distribution of the existing assets and liabilities. France, like Cameroon, as well as international creditors, had an interest in agreeing. Cameroon had to negotiate, so as to make a good impression with Foreign Direct Investors and external creditors needed Cameroon's cooperation for the protection of localized investments on its territory. Even though those debts were incurred in the exclusive interest of Cameroon under French administration, it agreed to negotiate.

A comprehensive analysis of the rules for ensuring industrial safety of equipment operating under excess pressure

was carried out. An algorithm has been developed for conducting non-destructive testing of equipment operating

under excess pressure at an oil refinery when technical and economic difficulties arise with carrying out an internal

inspection associated with the unloading and loading of a catalyst, adsorbent, or other substance, nozzle, and other

internal devices, the unloading of which requires steaming, which may lead to deterioration of properties, loss of catalytic

activity and adsorption capacity, mechanical destruction, impossibility of regeneration after contact with atmospheric

air and will require their replacement. The implementation of the proposed set of measures for non-destructive

testing of equipment operating under excess pressure at an oil refinery will help improve the level of industrial safety

Capital social y delitos violentos. Análisis para 101 comunas urbanas de Chile
Authors: Jara Alejandro
Published: March 2024

Este estudio evalúa la existencia de relación entre capital social y violencia, expresada en delitos ocurridos en 101 comunas urbanas de Chile, durante el año 2009. La hipótesis propone que el capital social explica los diferentes niveles de violencia en la ciudad, una vez que se controlan variables como la densidad poblacional, la movilidad de las personas y el hacinamiento crítico, entre otras. Se asume que la violencia tiene un origen multicausal, siendo el capital social uno de los elementos estructurales del entorno que, vinculados a otros factores de orden personal, pueden propiciarla. Los resultados indican una relación negativa entre capital social y delitos violentos en general; así como que diversas formas de violencia pueden ser explicadas por un conjunto diferente de variables. De este modo, el delito de robo con violencia e intimidación, donde la violencia tiene carácter instrumental, se explica por variables asociadas a la oportunidad de cometer delitos; en cambio, los homicidios se explican por variables estructurales del entorno, tales como la exclusión de recursos económicos y sociales

The modern agriculture is exclusively based on externally applied agrochemicals that make the soil fertility vulnerable. The external application of soil-borne bacteria is the upcoming sustainable system which will maintain the soil fertility and simultaneously enhances the plant growth. The total of 15 bacterial isolates belonging to Azotobacter spp. were isolated from different rhizospheric soils collected from different agricultural fields of Pune district. All the isolates were screened for their plant growth promoting traits, i.e. Gibberellic Acid (GA) and Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) production and were characterized biochemically. Out of these 15 isolates 3 (Azo1, Azo2 and Azo3) isolates showed highest GA (0.10, 0.15 and 0.30 mg/ml) and IAA (0.29, 0.25 and 0.15 mg/ml) production efficiency. These three promising isolates showed positive effects on growth and health of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L).

The aquatic weed E. crassipes was taken for investigation as a potential source for production of organic fertilizer. It was initially supplemented with organic manures viz. cow dung and poultry manure to study the efficacy of prepared manure. The comparative studies were performed on different types of soils. Different physicochemical and physical parameters of plant growth were determined. Results with saline soil showed an interesting effect on growth of wheat plants. The results were highly promising and proved to show better effects on the growth of wheat plants. The addition of E.crassipes organic manure increases the organic content of red soil to the extent of 20.7%, black soil to the extent of 20.5% and saline soil to the extent of 15.5%. The aquatic weed water hyacinth may be a low cost alternative source of organic fertilizer in plenty full supply. The possible ways of combating its proliferation and the various methods of eradicating this weed not proved much. Then its utilization may become an eary way of its management. The results also signify the use of E. crassipes as the organic manure. The study of water hyacinth as biofertilizer revealed that the incorporation of water hyacinth into soil crops system increased the performance of the wheat plant. Since water hyacinth is locally available, plentiful and cost free, its effective use as organic soil amendment would be an interesting method for soil restoration. Its use for manure preparation will help get rid of this notorious weed which causes aquatic environmental pollution problems.

Published: March 2024

In the present study a comparison between microwave assisted digestion and conventional wet acid open digestion system for dissolution of bivalve tissue samples was carried out. Sample matrix decomposition was done by using a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The determination of trace elements (Zn, Co, Cu, Cd and Pb) in commercially popular bivalve species from two important fish landing centers in Mumbai was used for this purpose. The recovery of heavy metals after analysis was done using certified reference material TORT 2- Lobster hepatopancreas for both the digestion methods. The results of the present study indicate that microwave digestion system for heavy metal analysis is the preferred method for rapid and good quality results. It provides better recovery and precision for heavy metal analysis. The sample preparation step is much easier by microwave digestion system compared to conventional open digestion methods for heavy metal analysis. It is particularly ideal for trace metals like lead and cadmium as they are generally present in very small concentration in biological samples. In the current study microwave digestion proved to be better method than conventional open digestion method with rapid sample digestion process and least sample contamination problem.

Published: March 2024

Wild edible mushrooms are more popular non timber forest products (NTFPs) which are highly valued as functional food for their medicinal and nutritional benefits. Several wild mushroom species have been pointed out as sources of bioactive compounds, in addition to their important nutritional value. They are the major source of income for the indigenous communities throughout the world. In Bonai Forest Division, Sundargarh, Odisha, survey was conducted during 2021 to 2022 with informants using semistructured interviews and gathered the information about the wild edible mushrooms available in their forest with their marketability. It was observed that the mushrooms play as an excellent source of livelihood for local communities in Bonai Forest Division and these mushrooms are sold in the local markets starting from 10- 20 rupees to 400 rupees. Therefore, the wild edible mushrooms which are available in the state need more exploration. It could be a valuable nutraceutical, making them essential in combating food insecurity. Additional research is needed so that the wild edible mushrooms can be commercialized which can play a key role in the socio-economic upliftment of the tribal people and will add organic food to the urban food basket.

Published: March 2024

The aim of this article is to highlight that critical thinking and creativity generate innovation that is at the core of long-term competitiveness. The creation of culture of critical thinking and creativity should start with the education system – in primary and secondary schools, then it should find its way in science and research activities of institutes and universities, and finally, it should be implemented at all business levels – with the purpose of achieving systemic innovation. It is only in the conditions of a strategic education-science-business synergy, in an environment of promoting critical thinking, creativity and innovation, that long-term competitiveness is possible, which can result in large-scale development of nations, societies and businesses. The achieved level of competitiveness should in its turn be protected against external and internal threats by introducing security measures that include the entire system of physical, technical, information and procedure security, while recognizing and protecting intellectual property and trade secrets. In terms of relevance and methodology, this article reviews existing significant challenges to innovation and competitiveness management; questions are proposed demanding further research in the field of regulations, as regards leading innovation in a global context. Conclusions are drawn about the need of strategic synergy of the priorities of state policies in the fields of science, education and business. It is stated that only coordinated long-term prioritization and planning in economy, science and education, which involves development of focused scientific research in priority sectors (industries) and creation of staff predominantly for these priority sectors of national business development, can ensure long-term competitiveness, sustainability and growth.
Knowledge Management and Intellectual Property in the Organization
Authors: Papagalska Dimitrina
Published: March 2024

This paper aims to demonstrate the interrelationship between knowledge management and intellectual property management in the organization as a prerequisite for achieving and maintaining competitiveness in different types of organizations. Knowledge subject to management can refer to both processes of creation of intellectual property objects and in terms of their market realization. Among the characteristics of this type of intellectual property knowledge is that it is concentrated in experts in the field, either internal or external to an organisation, and that the intellectual property legislation and market are dynamic. These are just some of the premises justifying the importance of managing this knowledge for the purpose of maintaining the competitive advantage of organisations that own intellectual property assets. The author’s thesis is that the management of an organisation’s intellectual assets inherently involves the management of knowledge associated with them, but knowledge management itself is not limited to that associated with intellectual property. An interdisciplinary methodology is used, the approach is from the general to the particular. Complex, systemic, and structural approaches are used as well as the methods of analysis and synthesis.

Published: March 2024

The aim of the article is to show through a theoretical overview that there is an inextricable link between economic growth, technological progress, innovation and intellectual property. This connection has been realized since the dawn of economic science, by economist theorists who, even without mathematical models, and some of them even before a terminological and legal framework covering the matter was created, managed to prove that without innovations and technologization of production and labor skills, it is not possible to achieve sustainable economic growth. The relationship between innovation and economic growth is also depicted through the EC’s innovation development index, where the difference in assessment between the developed economies of the so-called “Western worldˮ and developing, commodity economies.
