Participation of young people in online social communities: an exploration of attitudes among university students in a case study in Spain
Authors: Cruz López-de-Ayala María , Vizcaíno-Laorga Ricardo
Published: June 2021

This study aims to examine the different dimensions of online citizen participation for the purpose of delving into the types of engagement that are being developed in order for citizens to benefit from the opportunities offered by the Internet. A self-administered survey has been carried out with 420 students from a Spanish public University (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos) from its five campuses in Madrid. A typology of attitudes has been developed, firstly with factor analysis, and then with a varimax rotation. Moreover, a hierarchical linear regression has been applied in order to discover the variables that might predict the typology of participation. The study shows that online participation is a complex phenomenon influenced by multiple personal and social factors. The results have revealed three points of view: 1. Scepticism toward the ability to exert influence; 2. Social networks as a channel for maintaining social contact and expressing opinions; and 3. Capability of empowering users. Certain attitudes toward social networks can predict online participatory behaviour in different types of profiles on these networks. Furthermore, age does not affect online participation, and gender only has an influence on sports and media profiles.
THE CONCEPT OF RELIGIOUS SECURITY: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES OF ACADEMIC RELIGIOUS STUDIES
Authors: Kolodnyi Anatolii , Fylypovych Liudmyla
Published: June 2021

The article considers the methodological approaches used by academic religious scholars in forming the concept of religious security, in particular in Ukraine. A complete and holistic strategy or program "Religious security of Ukraine" does not yet exist, but it is being actively developed. In general, security is understood as a state in which no one and nothing threatens anyone or anything.
The authors define the religious security of Ukraine as the protection of its spiritual and religious space from aggression, destruction, interference, imposition, coercion, correction, etc. by other non-Ukrainian structures, organizations, states, people who are aimed at blur and the destruction of the Ukrainian world, reducing its resistance to all other worlds.
The authors analyze in detail the external and internal factors of religious security of Ukraine, which threaten its independence and autonomy, individual and collective identity.
Based on this analysis, it is concluded that the Concept of national and religious security should contain provisions that ensure the free confession of faith by every citizen of Ukraine with the freedom of the religious communities functioning. The authors formulate the methodological approaches of Ukrainian academic religious studies that will allow to build this Concept. Among them: 1) worldview focus on building Ukrainian world, which is understood as a society dominated by Ukrainian values, Ukrainian visions, constructively change post-Soviet and Russian stereotypes and forms of interaction between people and social structures to specifically Ukrainian; 2) upholding the value of religious freedom and the plurality of religious life in Ukraine; 3) to affirm the openness of the religions existing in Ukraine, when one or another religious system is not closed to different tradition, but is open for communication with other institutions of both the secular and religious world; 4) to practice a new format of communication, which is possible only through and in the form of dialogue: dialogue between Church and State, Church and society, Church and Church; 5) to assist the state and its representatives in implementing the policy of equality with regard to religious organizations; 6) rely on the professionalism of experts and the responsibility of the media in objective coverage, scientific analysis and large-scale dissemination of information about the religious life of Ukraine. All this should contribute to the dominance of stability, predictability, legality, mutual understanding and cooperation of representatives of both the religious and state spheres, both secular and religious segments of Ukrainian society.
DIRECTIONS OF CHARITY ACTIVITIES OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
Authors: Kuryliak Valentyna
Published: June 2021

The article presents an analysis of the charitable activities of the Seventh-day Adventist Church as one of the representatives of the Protestant community. It was determined that one of the priority areas of social service to the community. Adventists consider charity, through which they try in every possible way to help people suffering from hunger, hostilities, conflicts and the like. In particular, attention is focused on the dominant Adventist charitable programs, such as: "The Eastern Angel" and "Hands of Hope", through which Seventh-day Adventists provide material and other assistance to the population in different parts of Ukraine. It has been established that from the moment of their inception to the present day Adventists have been carrying out important social programs aimed at improving the physical and material situation of socially unprotected segments of the population. Attention is focused on the fact that the contribution of Adventists to the socio-economic development of Ukraine, on the one hand, is relatively insignificant, but on the other hand, due to the conscientious fulfillment of their civic duties, believers of this denomination systematically serve the needs of society to the best of their ability. Adventists define their duty to the state and society as follows: paying taxes in good faith, developing business and creating new jobs, establishing real human relations, and active charity. It has been established that the life of Adventists is subject to Christian ethics: property rights, hard work, freedom of entrepreneurship, charity. As a result, all actions of the representatives of this religion are aimed at a person and his needs. A conditional guide in the social ministry of Adventists is the "Social Teachings of the Church of Seventh-day Adventists", which sets out the principles of social responsibility of Adventists to the society of which they themselves are a part. A powerful charitable organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the Adventist Relief and Development Agency, through which the Church is trying to help people in crisis situations. It has been established that since 2014, ADRA has been actively helping residents in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The reports of ADRA were analyzed, according to which it was established that the Adventist charitable agency implements food, non-food and other programs throughout Ukraine.
SACRALITY IN THE DIVERSITY OF MODERN LITERATURE: HUMANISM OR VALUE DESTRUCTIVENESS?
Authors: Lazorevich Irina
Published: June 2021

In a secularized society, on the base of the rapid development of technologization and globalization, we also observe an intensive "return" of the sacred. It "returns" with the growth of nostalgia for the personalism of social relationships. And this return is reflected, in particular, through the phenomena of contemporary art – some of them are filled with appropriate symbolism and emotional atmosphere.
Undoubtedly, there is no historical period, which would be characterized by complete secularization and the absence of any sacredness. However, in the modern era, the uniqueness of the sacred is that it is not just a religious phenomenon. Because today's semantic space of the sacred is not only the idea of God, it is also about justice, identity, self-sacrifice and the search for answers. This is one of the main categories of value orientations, which relates to anthropological reality in all its diversity.
In this article, the author analyzes the manifestations of the Christian worldview and sacred meanings in modern literature work: the means of their expression and symbolism. After all, the Bible in modern literature is used in a unique way. Definitely, there are still a number of important Christian literature works, but more and more often artists use biblical symbolism to embody their creative ideas without mentioning Christian saints or biblical quotations.
The researcher examines a number of particularly popular fantasy novels of the early third millennium, in which the plotline is interwoven with elements of Christian sacredness and value categories, the meanings of their ideological guidelines. Cult literature works are also analyzed, where sacredness is hidden under other layers of meaning. In these works, the sacred is not immediately demonstrated, it may be seen in the value potential of the profane.
The reverse side of Christian sacredness is also comprehended – on the basis of works of art about demons and Satan, the artistic and ideological purpose of these works is considered. All this is subordinated to the goal of understanding the influence of ideas about the sacred (and in general – the transcendent) in its modern cultural expression on the transformation of the aesthetic axiosphere. The research is at the interdisciplinary intersection of religious studies, philosophy of religion, culturology and aesthetics.

Authors: KORUYUCU Aslıhan , BALABAN Fehmi Çağlar
Published: June 2021

Pamuk ve poliester günümüzde en çok kullanılan konvansiyonel lifler olarak tekstil endüstrisinde önemli bir paya sahiptir. Bu elyafların güç tutuşurluk terbiye işlemlerinde kullanılan kimyasallara alternatif olarak çevre atık yükü düşük ve sürdürülebilir doğal malzemelerinin elde edilmesi çalışmanın çıkış noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu noktada doğal materyallerden birisi olan muz kabuklarının, yapılarındaki potasyum, magnezyum ve kalsiyum mineralleri dolayısıyla tekstil materyali üzerinde bir alev almaya karşı kalkan görevi görebileceği düşünülmektedir.

Çalışmada, ilk olarak muz kabuğunun yapısından ekstraksiyon yöntemiyle büyük boyutlu ve yabancı maddeler uzaklaştırılmıştır. Bitkisel atık ekstratları ilk olarak yakma, haşıl sökme, merserize ve kasar ön terbiye işlemleri ile aynı gramaj ve konstrüksiyona sahip %100 pamuklu kumaşlara emdirme ve kaplama yöntemlerine göre uygulanmıştır. İkinci olarak ise; yakma, soğuk kasar ön terbiye işlemlerinden geçirilen %50 pamuk-%50 poliester karışımlı dokuma kumaşlar üzerine aynı aplikasyon yöntemleriyle uygulanmıştır. Muz kabuğu atık ekstratlarının pamuk ve pamuk-poliester karışımlı kumaşların yapısındaki dağılımını incelemek için SEM görüntüleri alınmıştır. Pamuk ve pamuk/poliester karışımı kumaşlarda emdirme ve kaplama sonrası muz kabuğu atık ekstraktlarının sıcaklık-zaman fonksiyonuna bağlı kütle kayıpları TGA analizleri ile tespit edilmiştir. Muz kabuğu ekstraktı ve ticari güç tutuşurluk kimyasallarıyla emdirme ve kaplama işlemine tabi tutulan %100 pamuklu ve %50 Pamuk-%50 PES karışımlı kumaşların alev alması için ortamda bulunması gereken oksijen miktarının belirlenmesi için LOI analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Authors: Smirnova Marina P. , Chizhov Petr A. , Baranov Andrey A. , Ivanova Yuliya I.
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency is a common comorbidity in many patients with chronic heart failure.
AIM: To study the parameters of intracardiac hemodynamics in the patients with chronic heart failure in the presence of iron deficiency.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 179 patients (36 men and 143 women, mean age 71.6 7.9 years) with heart failure of functional class 2-4 (NYHA). All the patients underwent a clinical examination, a 6-minute walk test, a general blood test; the level of NT-proBNP, iron, transferrin, and ferritin in blood serum were studied; the percentage of transferrin saturation with iron was calculated. The presence of iron deficiency was assessed based on a decrease in the level of serum ferritin less than 100 g/L or ferritin ranging from 100 to 299 g/L and saturation of transferrin with iron less than 20%. All the patients underwent echocardiography in one-dimensional, two-dimensional and Doppler modes (pulse-wave, constant-wave and tissue) in standard positions according to the generally accepted technique.
RESULTS: It was found that in the patients with chronic heart failure and iron deficiency compared with the patients without iron deficiency; the end systolic volume of the left ventricle, the size of the right ventricle and the systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery were significantly higher, and the speed of movement of the fibrous ring of the mitral and tricuspid valves and the working capacity were lower. Significant correlations were established between the concentration of iron and ferritin and the parameters of intracardiac hemodynamics.
CONCLUSIONS: Iron deficiency in the patients with chronic heart failure without anemia contributes to an early initial decrease in cardiac contractility with an intact ejection fraction.
Phased Array Analysis Incorporating the Continuous Wavelet Transform
Authors: Langston Charles A.
Published: June 2021

Nonlinear block thresholding of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) of 2D phased array signals offers high time-resolution solutions for analyzing seismograms of local and regional seismic events. An initial denoising step on an array ensemble reveals the regions of the scale-time plane that contain high signal-to-noise arrivals. Individual seismic phase arrivals in ensemble, denoised seismograms can be partitioned using scale-time gating in which CWT wave packets of an individual seismic phase on the scale-time plane for a reference array element are time-correlated with all other elements to find an optimum time shift for the phase across all elements. The seismic phase is then clipped out of the CWT of each array element using this optimal time shift for further analysis. The seismogram can be separated into component seismic waves for a detailed view of wave characteristics such as slowness and arrival azimuth using conventional frequency–wavenumber methods. However, the process can be taken further using the CWT of each phase to construct high time-resolution signal beams over the CWT scale. Local explosion data from the 2016 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Wavefields Community Experiment in northern Oklahoma are used to demonstrate these techniques in separating surface-wave modes and body waves and to examine the scattering of regional phases. High-resolution CWT processing in the 1–3 Hz band for northern Oklahoma reveals horizontal Rayleigh-wave refraction and multipathing. Rayleigh-wave phase-velocity dispersion measurements are used to construct a 1D velocity model under the IRIS experiment. Scale-time gating helps expose near-source surface reflections from a local M 3.6 earthquake that are used to verify the 4 km source depth obtained from a published regional moment tensor solution.

The daily life of the population in the second half of the 1940s – 1950s (by the memories of residents of Karelia)
Authors:   Institute of Language, Literature and History, Karelian Research Centre, Vavulinskaya L.I.
Published: June 2021

The realities of daily life in Karelia in post-war years, people’s perceptions of certain events in history, reflections on challenging life circumstances, interpersonal relationships during the period of transition from war to peace based on recollections by residents of Karelia and documents from the Republic of Karelia National Archives are demonstrated. Special focus is on the housing and food issues, the various ways people of the republic employed to adapt to the social and living conditions. The challenges of being a child in post-war time, the role of the school in upbringing are highlighted. Leisure-time arrangements for children and adults, the position occupied by sociocultural factors in the value system of people are shown. Relationships between people, where key aspects were the sense of obligation and mutual aid, are considered. It is argued that remodeling of post-war daily realities relying on recollections of residents of the republic widens the opportunities for reproducing the details of both the material dimension of life and people’s emotions and sentiments.

ENDURANCE OF THE SUBALTERN: A STUDY OF A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS BY KHALID HOSSEINI
Authors: Yasin Ghulam , Waqar Sajid , Javed Noveen , Naeem Ahmad
Published: June 2021

Purpose of the study: The present research aims to explore the oppressed and marginalized Afghan women who are made subaltern socially and religiously. It further reveals the ability of women to endure the violence and to create the vision of women empowerment through their suppressed bodies.

Methodology: The primary data of research relies upon the text of A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Hosseini (2007). Further, it has also been collected from secondary sources like articles and reviews mentioned in the reference list. The selected text is analyzed under the theoretical framework of the theory of subaltern by Spivak (1988), utilizing the content analysis.

Main findings: The study dismantles the struggles of marginalized women for their survival and to free them from the suffocating chains of repression and violence. Nana, Mariam, and Laila being the subaltern know the word ‘Endurance’ while living in dilapidated social conditions. They show the degree of resistance and then also unite to stand against societal prominence. Mariam- the harami, sacrifices her life for Laila and Laila becomes the voice of her coming generation who can challenge the subaltern attitude and will speak loudly.

Application of this study: Utilizing the theory of subaltern by Spivak, this research answers the question “Can the subaltern speak?” as ‘Yes’. It brings a message if the subaltern group combines and stands against the unjust norms, they will no more remain a subaltern and will be applicable for academicians and researchers as well.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The study is distinctive because it explores the literature that portrays the stories of almost every home and corner of the world. Despite passing phases of woman's rights, the female gender is still being suppressed. It also unveils how gender inequality, poor and gender-biased educational systems, the justice system, and constrained or child marriages are being practised.

Authors: PARÇA Filiz , ÜNAY Aydın
Published: June 2021

This preliminary study was carried out to investigate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on yield, seed characters and chlorophyll content of confectionery sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The experiment was conducted at Tavas/Denizli in the 2018 growing season. The experimental design was “Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)” with four replications. Seed coating and soil spraying of AMF applications were compared with control (non-treatment AMF). The differences among treatments were significant for plant height (cm), head diameter (cm), seed width (mm), single plant yield (g), thousand kernel weight (g), yield (kg ha-1), chlorophyll content index (CCI) and soil plant analysis development (SPAD) values. The seed coating had significant and higher values for plant height (cm), head diameter (cm), seed width (mm), single plant yield (g), thousand kernel weight (g), yield (kg ha-1), chlorophyll content index (CCI) and SPAD values, whereas hull ratio was found to be similar between AMF applications and control. It was concluded that seed coating with AMF can be profitable for confectionery sunflower producers due to increased yield and low cost. The results of this preliminary study should be supported by findings from multiple locations and years.
Influence of Morphological Attributes of Cowpea Genotypes on Oviposition of Pulse Beetle (Callasobruchus maculatus F.)
Authors: Senthilraja N. , Patel P.S.
Published: June 2021

Background: Cowpea is an excellent host for Callasobruchus maculatus (F.). These beetles cause havoc in stored cowpea. They have the habit of cementing their eggs to the surface of the host seeds. Hence, the present study was aimed to the find the influence of morphological characters of cowpea varieties/genotypes on oviposition of the pulse beetle. Methods: The ovipositional preference of C. maculatus on 14 cowpea varieties/genotypes was studied under the free choice condition and the data thus obtained were correlated with the morphological characters like seed shape, colour and texture. Result: Each variety/genotype had a significant effect on egg laying by C. maculatus. Significantly least oviposition was noticed in GC 3 (35.33 eggs), having a rough testa texture and greater number of eggs were found on GC 1612 (117.33 eggs) having smooth texture. The pulse beetle preferred smooth textured seeds for egg laying irrespective of its shape and colour. This was again confirmed by one of the genotypes GC 1702, which belongs to the Holstein group based on the eye pattern of the cowpea, in this genotype the pulse beetle preferred to lay eggs on the smooth brown portion surrounding the hilum than the wrinkled white portion.
Community Effects of Police-Related Deaths: Associations With Low Birthweight Births and Poverty Among US Counties

Published: June 2021

Police-related deaths are a public health problem; however, their effects on community-level reproductive health outcomes remain largely unexplored. Among US counties with populations >100,000 (N = 580), we examined the longitudinal association between police-related deaths and rates of low birthweight (LBW) (<2,500 grams) deliveries, with counties stratified by quartiles of poverty. In the two lowest poverty quartiles, two or more police-related deaths were associated with a 5% (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02, 1.09) and 10% (IRR 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.15) higher rate of LBW births, respectively. The effect was not significant in the two highest poverty quartiles. No counties are “immune” from the important effects of police-related deaths and therefore the public health importance of police violence is a ubiquitous one regardless of social class or position.
Seeking Help From Formal Sources Among Teen Dating Violence Victims: Exploring the Role of Incident and Victim Characteristics
Authors: Buker Hasan , Hoffman Chrystina Y. , Tran Quan
Published: June 2021

Most teen dating violence (TDV) victims do not seek help after their victimization experience. While research has identified that victims are more likely to turn to informal versus formal sources, there is a lack of knowledge about what factors are predictive of help-seeking from formal sources. The current study explored the impact of incident and victim characteristics on help-seeking from formal sources among middle and high school TDV victims (N = 2,174). Findings indicate that the severity and location of the victimization significantly increase the likelihood of help-seeking from formal sources.
GASTROPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF ONION PEEL (Allium Cepa L. Var Ascalonicum) EXTRACT ON WISTAR RATS INDUCED BY MEFENAMIC ACID
Authors: Putri Awalya Rahma , Helianti Dina , Rumastika Nindya Shinta
Published: June 2021

Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) have been implicated in the etiology of gastritis. Mefenamic acid is a non-selective NSAID used to treat mild to moderate pain and inflammation. Mefenamic acid induces gastritis through its inhibition of prostaglandin that results in increased HCl secretion, decreased mucin, and bicarbonate ion production. This study aimed to investigate the gastroprotective effect of onion peel extract (OPE) against mefenamic acid-induced gastritis. In this study, the gastroprotective effect of OPE was examined through mucosal integrity scoring. A total of 28 male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, normal (Group 1), mefenamic acid+NaCMC 0,5% (Group 2), mefenamic acid+OPE 600mg/kg body weight (Group 3), and mefenamic acid+OPE 1200mg/kg body weight (Group 4). All rats were sacrificed on day 15 then all gasters were collected. Histopathological examination was done under a microscope with 100X magnification. Administration of mefenamic acid without OPE at all significantly increased gastric mucosal damage (p<0,05). Administration of OPE 1200mg/kg body weight significantly decreased gastric mucosal damage (p<0,05). Group 4 shows no significant difference (p=0,66) with the normal group (Group 1). This indicates that administration of OPE 1200mg/kg body weight per oral ameliorates mefenamic acid-induced gastritis.

Authors: Zam Riza Indira Fadillah Zam , Sulistyaningsih Erma , Marchianti Ancah Caesarina Novi
Published: June 2021

The fly is the vector of several intestinal diseases. It can transmit pathogenic agents, including bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, as well as parasites such as Entamoeba histolytica, Balantidium coli, and Giardia lamblia. The dairy farm is one of the sites where the flies are commonly found. This study analyzed the association of the bacteria and parasites pattern in flies and the prevalence of fly vector-borne diseases at the dairy farm. The fly samples were collected at the Rembangan Dairy Farm, and the bacteria and parasite were identified at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jember. The prevalence data of fly vector-borne diseases were collected from the Public Health Centers around the study site as secondary data. Bacteria identification using selective media found only E. coli, but no parasite was observed in the samples. We found diarrhea, typhoid, and dysentery as fly vector-borne diseases. Statistical analysis using chi-square resulted in p=0.072, meaning no significant association of the bacteria and parasites pattern in flies and the prevalence of fly vector-borne diseases at the dairy farm. The use of secondary data for disease prevalence could be a limitation of the study. Further study by directly examines the samples from fly vector-borne diseases is needed to draw a definite conclusion.

Dark chocolate contains two derivates of metilxantin, I.e. caffeine (1,3,7-trimetilxantin) and theobromine (3,7 dimetilxantin). Theobromine can be found in plasma. Theobromine concentration in plasma determined not only by drug dosage but also by pharmacokinetic parameters. This research aimed to determine pharmacokinetic parameters by using HPLC (High Performace Liquid Chromatography) method. This study used Quasi Experimental Design by using 16 plasma samples collected at the 0, 1.5, 3, 6, 10, 24 hours. The pharmacokinetic parameter calculations were obtained from the polynomial curve and linear curve of drug concentration in plasma by time. The maximum concentration (Cmax) theobromine on plasma after consumption of dark chocolate bar per oral was 4.173 mg/L. The maximum time (Tmax) was at the 2.501 hours. The half time (t½) theobromine was 4.880 hours. Theobromine clearance in plasma was 14.2 ml/kg/hour. The study has reported pharmacokinetic parameters of theobromine in plasma after eating dark chocolate bars orally.
