Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease resulting from dynamic, cumulative gene-environment interactions that cause lung tissue injury, alteration of its normal function and acceleration of cellular senescence. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function as critical epigenetic regulators of various aspects of cellular senescence. The objective of the present study is to identify the association between polymorphic variants of H19 (rs3741219), MEG3 (rs7158663), MALAT1 (rs619586), LINC00305 (rs2850711), LINC00261 (rs6048205), CDKN2B-AS1 (rs4977574), and LINC02227 (rs2149954) lncRNAs genes with COPD. DNA samples from COPD patients (N = 703) and healthy individuals (N = 655) were studied in this study and polymorphic loci were analyzed by real–time PCR. Association with COPD was established with H19 (rs3741219), MEG3 (rs7158663), LINC02227 (rs2149954), MALAT1 (rs619586) and CDKN2B-AS1 (rs4977574). Polygenic analysis has allowed to identify informative gene-gene combinations that include polymorphic variants of the studied lncRNAs genes and genes encoding molecules of signaling cascades associated with cellular senescence and apoptosis. Multiple regression and ROC-analysis revealed a COPD risk predictive model, which included gene–gene combinations of lncRNAs genes and smoking index (P = 4.01 x 10-48, AUC = 0.87).

Sociology Meets Epidemiology: Social Contagion Research in Search of Theoretical Basis
Authors: Dudina Victoria I.
Published: December 2024

Contemporary sociology pays more and more attention to the study of the processes of copying, imitation, and “viral” spread. Digital methods and abundant digital data have made it possible to study “social contagion” processes that were previously inaccessible to study. The “social contagion” means that sociocultural phenomena can spread in society like infectious diseases. Despite a variety of social contagion definitions, there is still no developed social theory of this phenomenon. However, the need to conceptualize the social contagion phenomenon is becoming increasingly tangible, since the conceptual framework of social contagion is increasingly used in empirical research and claims to be the optics through which the social reality of the digital society can be viewed. The article looks into some main areas of social contagion research in an attempt to reconstruct the contours of the theoretical model underlying such studies and to outline the ways of possible conceptualization of this phenomenon.
Young Сraft Entrepreneurs of Saint Petersburg about State Support Measures
Authors: Krupets Yana N. , Epanova Yulia V.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the attitudes of young craft entrepreneurs (artisans) towards government support measures for small businesses. The analysis is based on a series of qualitative interviews with artisans from St. Petersburg developing their businesses within the creative economy. The interviews were collected in 2021 and allowed to trace how the perception of government assistance changed in the pre-COVID and COVID periods. The authors prove that young entrepreneurs are focused on officially registering their business at a certain stage of its development for rational and ethical reasons. The key values in relations with the state are the value of autonomy and subjectivity, the avoidance of paternalism and the desire for comfort and clarity in bureaucratic procedures. COVID-19, on the one hand, has pushed young entrepreneurs to seek support from the state, on the other hand, the proposed government measures are of little demand and ineffective, since they do not meet the needs of entrepreneurs or “do not see” craftsmen as those in need.
Petrogenesis of granitoids from silicic large igneous provinces (Central and North-East Asia)
Authors: Tsygankov А. А. , Burmakina G. N. , Kotler P. D.
Published: December 2024

Large granitoid provinces can be divided into areal and linear types, which differ significantly in the area and volume of granitoids in their composition. It is shown using the example of the largest granitoid provinces of Central and Northeast Asia (Angara-Vitim, Khangai, Kalba-Narym, Kolyma). It is assumed that these differences are due to the structure of pregranitic basement and degree of thermal impact on the lower and middle continental crust. An important factor in the formation of granitoid provinces is mantle mafic magmatism, the estimated scale of which correlates with the volumetric and areal characteristics of the granitoid provinces. The role of mafic magmatism is an additional input of heat from the fluids into the melting region of crustal protoliths, as well as a material contribution that is realized through various mechanisms of magma mixing. Mixing at the deep level is the most effective, resulting in the formation of significant volumes of increased basicity salic magmas. The petrogenetic role of contrasting magmas mixing at the mesoabyssal level of the earth's crust, as well as in hypabyssal conditions (mingling dikes), is not great, but these manifestations are the key argument in justifying the synchronicity of mafic and granitoid magmatism. Granitoids of Silicic Large Igneous Provinces (SLIPs) are characterized by a heterogeneous isotopic composition, generally corresponding to the parameters of the continental crust. The extremely high heterogeneity of spatially conjugate granitoids due to the mixing of silicic magmas formed through the melting of a small number of sources with contrasting isotopic compositions, including through mixing with magmas of mantle origin. Mafic rocks included in the granitoid provinces correspond to the isotopic composition of the enriched mantle (Angara-Vitim batholith) or indicate a significant contribution of contamination with continental crust material (Khangai area). The metallogeny of SLIPs is determined by the erosional section size and the crustal protoliths type, the metamorphism degree of which largely determines the initial fluid content of silicic magmas. The melting of highly metamorphosed ancient crustal protoliths produces relatively “dry” silicic melts, the melting of low-metamorphosed crustal sources leads to the formation of “aqueous” melts, the differentiation of which ends with pegmatite formation with rare metal mineralization. Non-subduction origin SLIPs formation is associated with the mantle plumes impact (in the form of synchronous basaltoid magmatism) on the heated crust of young orogenic regions, where tectonic processes ended no more than a few tens of Ma.

АНАЛІЗ КОІНТЕГРАЦІЇ КРИПТОВАЛЮТ З ІНДЕКСОМ ДОУ-ДЖОНСА
Authors: ТРОЯН Кирило
Published: December 2024

У цьому дослідженні представлено детальний аналіз коінтеграції між криптовалютами та акціями, в якому розглянуто 12028 пар криптовалюта-акція з метою виявлення довгострокових рівноважних відносин. Ми виявили, що 54,76% проаналізованих пар демонструють значну коінтеграцію на 95% довірчому рівні, що свідчить про вищий ступінь інтеграції між цими ринками, ніж повідомлялося раніше. Наш аналіз класифікує криптовалюти на окремі групи та досліджує їхню коінтеграцію з акціями окремо, виявляючи різний рівень інтеграції між різними типами криптовалют.Найвищий рівень коінтеграції з фондовими біржами демонструють metaverse токени (100%), за ними йдуть NFT токени (63,68%) та платіжні токени (63,64%). Всупереч очікуванням, стейблкоіни демонструють сильну коінтеграцію з певними акціями. Ми також провели галузевий аналіз і виявили, що сектор розваг демонструє найвищий ступінь коінтеграції з криптовалютами (наближається до 80%), в той час як телекомунікаційний сектор - найнижчий (трохи більше 40%).Сила коінтеграції, виміряна за допомогою t-статистики, значно відрізняється між різними парами криптовалюта-акції. Помітна сильна коінтеграція спостерігається між певними криптовалютами, такими як Ellipsis, і великими акціями, такими як Walt Disney, Amazon і Salesforce.Наші висновки свідчать про те, що інтеграція між криптовалютами і традиційними фінансовими ринками з часом зростає, ставлячи під сумнів попередні погляди на криптовалюти як на ізольовані активи. Це дослідження сприяє глибшому розумінню міжринкової динаміки, пропонуючи нові погляди на інтеграцію ринків, переваги диверсифікації та еволюцію глобальної фінансової екосистеми. Результати дослідження мають значний вплив на управління портфелями, оцінку ризиків та регуляторні рамки в умовах дедалі більш цифровізованого фінансового ринку.

The Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Sanitation Practices and Anxiety in the General Population
Authors: Cliatt Leah , Petrides Joanna
Published: December 2024

Background: Illness anxiety and fear of contracting coronavirus increased considerably during the COVID-19 pandemic. The media, being in lockdown, and cyberchondria had the largest impact on the population’s anxiety surrounding illness. While this kind of reaction to illness is expected during the pandemic, there is limited data on post-pandemic illness anxiety levels in the general population. Patients’ perception of disease impacts medicine at every level; medical professionals need to understand the concerns and fears of their patients in order to treat the post-pandemic patient. We hypothesized that sanitation practices and anxiety surrounding illness have not returned to baseline pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.

Methods: A 26-question survey was designed and distributed via Qualtrics. The questions included demographic information, sanitation practices, and illness anxiety levels pre- and post-pandemic. Participants were recruited in-person at Rowan-Virtua Family Medicine Offices. They were given the option to take the survey on their personal device using a QR code to access the survey or complete the survey in Qualtrics using the researcher’s laptop. All participants chose to complete the survey in Qualtrics using the researcher’s laptop.

Results: The study analyzed fifty-five responses using SPSS. Paired t-test for hand sanitizing and masking pre- and post-pandemic showed significant results (p= 0.001) towards a decline in these behaviors post-pandemic. Concern for contracting COVID-19 also decreased post-pandemic (p= 0.001). Furthermore, female identifying participants were more likely to make an appointment to see their physician if they develop a new symptom (p= 0.026). Lastly, 87% of participants were vaccinated for COVID-19 and 71% of participants received at least one booster. There was no statistically significant difference between ethnicity and illness anxiety post-pandemic.

Conclusion: Illness anxiety levels and sanitation practices have returned to pre-pandemic baseline.

Authors: Khadka Dambar Bahadur , Adhikari Laxmi , Khadka Pragya , Karki Dhan Bahadur
Published: December 2024

Background: Enzymatic hydrolysis alters the bio-functionality of whey proteins by generating bioactive peptides. Plant serine proteases as an alternative to animal and microbial proteases, recently considered useful for whey protein hydrolysate preparation to enhance nutritional and bio-functional properties.
Objectives: The present study thus aims at optimization of whey protein hydrolyzing conditions employing ash gourd protease (AGP) and evaluation of 2, 2 diphenyl -1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging (antioxidant) and angiotensin I- converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activities and potency of the generated hydrolysate.
Methods: Optimization was accomplished using response surface methodology and generating treatment combinations applying central composite design in two steps: first temperature (50-90°C) and pH (6-9) was optimized adding same concentration of AGP (0.3% v/v) at reconstituted WPC (0.6% protein) and then E/S ratio (2-6 %v/v) and hydrolysis time (1-6h) was optimized at reconstituted WPC (4% protein). The effect of hydrolysis time at optimized condition was also evaluated with response to degree of hydrolysis, antioxidant and ACE inhibition activities of the generated hydrolysate and its ultra-centrifuged fractions ≤3kDa and >3kDa. The AGP (Adjusted to activity 2U/mL) obtained after partially purification by three phase partitioning method was used for hydrolysis experiments.
Results: The optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of whey protein to achieve maximum degree of hydrolysis (13.99%) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (23.05%) were observed at 7.48 and 66.40°C. Similarly, the enzyme performed optimally at enzyme by substrate ratio of 5.85% (v/v) for 6 hours of hydrolysis, providing 19.31 % of degree of hydrolysis and 47.71 % of DPPH radical scavenging activity. AGP hydrolyzed whey protein compared to un-hydrolysed whey protein had significantly higher degree of hydrolysis, DPPH radical scavenging and ACE inhibition activity. The lower molecular weight peptides fractions ≤3kDa was found to be more effective (1.45 times) than the peptide fractions >3kDa however was less effective (1.19 times) than the whole hydrolysate regarding antioxidant activity. Similarly, ≤3kDa fraction of hydrolysate had 1.9 times higher ACE inhibition potential as compared to its whole hydrolysate.
Conclusion: Overall, the study showed that the AGP employed whey protein hydrolysate has potential for use as a natural antioxidant and ACE inhibition agent.

Identity, Displacement and Obscuring the Native Personality: Towards Decolonising Indigenous Folks in Ìlàjẹ Names
Authors: Omosule Segun , Ajimisan Stephen
Published: December 2024

Fulfilment takes diverse forms and superimposing identity on supposed subjects who attempt to imitate whatever belongs to the impostor and considering it as the best standard they could imitate is the greatest form of satisfaction that a group of people that are not remotely connected could have from an overseas people. Apart from subsuming the identity of the people in the overall supremacy of the tiny people of an island in Britain, colonialism represents a subtle robbery of the possessions of the weak. Twenty indigenous surnames in the Ìlàjẹ/Ìkálẹ̀ communities of Ondo State exemplify the immediate and long-term goals of the colonialists. The names are interpreted and divorced of their underlying colonial undertones which seek to praise and arrogate positive vibrations to the subsisting relationship between the folks and those who colonized them. While deploying the tool of post-colonialism, the essay unravels the tool of diplomacy, exaggeration and arrogation of divine capabilities to themselves as reasons for the holistic acceptance of the colonialists as next to God, superhuman and greater than the black folks.
A Literary Study of Tọ́pẹ́ Àlàbí’s Lọ́gán Tí Ó Dé
Authors: Akinduti Taiwo Ọpẹyẹmi , Wale-Olaitan Anu Oluwakemi
Published: December 2024

Tọ́pẹ́ Àlàbí is a renowned Yorùbá artiste, whose gospel music is widely recognized within and outside of Nigeria. In one of her titles, Lọ́gán tí Ó Dé, she makes it explicit that barrenness goes beyond biological classification. In Àlàbí’s opinion, any void in human’s life means barrenness. The lyrics reveal that the significance of barrenness is associated, not only with childlessness, but also with individuals who are unable to keep pace with their equals in the world of achievement. By using Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics, this essay explored how Tọ́pẹ́ Àlàbí’s Lọ́gán tí Ó Dé deconstructs the import of barrenness, reveals people’s attitude towards the barren and indicates the effects of people's view of the barren. In addition to listening to, and transcribing Tọ́pẹ́ Àlàbí’s Lọ́gán tí Ó Dé, oral interviews were conducted with twelve selected individuals. The study concludes that metaphoric expressions in music could help project a people’s understanding of their socio-cultural environment.
Psychological Content of the Leading Role of Facilitative Activity
Authors:   Hryhorii Skovoroda University in Pereiaslav, Khupavtseva Nataliia , Spivak Vitalii ,   Kamianets-Podilskyi Ivan Ohiienko National University
Published: December 2024

The purpose of our research is to show psychological content of the leading role of facilitative activity, to highlight these basic ideas according to the prin­ciples of facilitation and facilitative interaction.
Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. Also, in our research we used empirical methods, such as a statement experiment.
The results of the research. The attributive analysis of facilitation as the type of the activity allowed us not only to identify and correlate its attributes, but also to establish that this activity can be basic for teachers and students in the system of secondary educational institutions. We showed, that statements regarding the social essence of the individual, the leading role of a facilitative activity in the process of its development became the methodological basis for the separation of the principle of learning and interpersonal interaction. As a whole, they make us possible to support the processes of self-expression, self-development and self-realization of the teacher’s personality, the development of his/her unique individuality, by taking into account a complete system of inter­related concepts, ideas and ways of performing actions and activities. The basic ideas that constitute the essence of the principles of facilitation are highlighted: regarding individual freedom; regarding the person’s need for self-actualization; regarding the individuality of a person; regarding education and upbringing as facilitative prerequisites of a person in the development of individuality and personal growth; regarding psychological and pedagogical support; regarding the development of the subjective experience of a person in the process of life; regarding trust and faith in a person, his/her individuality; regarding the equal treatment of all participants in the pedagogical process.
Conclusions. We proved, that ideas of facilitative interaction internalized by the teacher were directly included in his/her subjective experience and create a coherent structure of the teacher’s “Me”. In the existing traditions of the organization of learning, the subjective experience of the participants of inter­personal interaction is considered as imperfect, insignificant, burdened with ran­dom ideas, and therefore facilitative interpersonal interaction is either ignored or levelled, or artificially processed. Facilitation to a large extent implies the subjective experience of all participants in the educational process, affects the formation of different and unique personalities.

This study aims to evaluate the quality of growing media made from cocopeat that was soaked for 10, 15, and 20 hours. The phytochemical test results showed that the growing media did not contain tannins, as evidenced by the absence of color changes in the test. The organic carbon content of the growing media decreased as the soaking duration increased, with values of 20.12%, 17.34%, and 15.03%, respectively. The analysis revealed that the water content of the growing media increased with the duration of soaking, with values of 15.7%, 19.26%, and 23.4%. This increase in water content can be explained by higher water absorption during longer soaking periods, resulting in a greater water retention capacity of the growing media. The pH of the resulting growing media fell within the ideal range for kangkung (water spinach) growth, i.e., 6.2, 6.5, and 6.9. Overall, the growing media demonstrated good quality in supporting plant growth and has potential as a growing medium with natural pest control properties.
КОНЦЕПТ «КРАСА» В АНГЛІЙСЬКІЙ ТА УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ МОВАХ
Authors: КОЗИРЬ Єлизавета
Published: December 2024

Дослідження присвячене проблемі порівняльного аналізу суб’єктивно-оцінних, асоціативних смислів в українській та англійській мовах, об’єднаних концептом «краса». Робота спрямована на опис мовних засобів позначення краси людей та навколишнього світу з погляду інтенцій того, хто говорить з урахуванням суб’єктивно-оцінних та асоціативних конотацій, що виникають під час продуктивної мовної діяльності. У дослідженні виявляємо та проаналізовано прототипи, когнітивні метафори, стереотипні уявлення та зразки краси, важливі для сприйняття та правильної інтерпретації інформації, що надходить слухачами, тобто для рецептивної мовної діяльності. Актуальність дослідження пояснюється недостатньою розробленістю у порівняльному аспекті української та англійської мов таких напрямів: не систематизовано суб’єктивно-оціночні та асоціативні смисли концепту «краса»; не описані зразки та когнітивні метафори краси; не досліджено співвідношення понять «красивий» та «модний»; не систематизовано способи вираження краси наявними мовними засобами з погляду продуктивної мовної діяльності; не описані лакуни в зіставлюваних мовах щодо концепту «краса»; не показано динаміку розвитку концепту «краса» в українській та англійській мовах у порівняльному аспекті, хоча потреба в таких показниках постає у перекладацькій та літературній практиці. Об’єкт цього порівняльного дослідження є оцінні-естетичний концепт «краса», представлений в українській та англійській мовах лексичними та фразеологічними одиницями. Предмет дослідження становлять універсальні та специфічні характеристики мовних засобів, що реалізують значення краси в мові, а також їх складники, що містять суб’єктивно-оцінні, асоціативні та стереотипні уявлення. Гіпотеза цього дослідження зводиться до того, що зміст концепту «краса» об’ємний за однойменну поверхневу мовну сутність, тому що в мові цей концепт об’єктивується в значній кількості мовних засобів, а у свідомості носіїв мови він представлений низкою прототипів і стереотипних уявлень, і охоплює особливу систему асоціативних та суб’єктивно-оцінних смислів. Мета дослідження полягає в тому, щоб виявити суб’єктивно-оцінні змісти, стереотипні, еталонні та асоціативні уявлення, що впливають на породження та сприйняття мови в українській та англійській мовах, а також описати відповідні їм мовні засоби, та зіставити когнітивні метафори. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в тому, що вперше зроблено спробу виявлення та системного опису суб’єктивно-оцінних та асоціативних смислів, стереотипних уявлень, когнітивних метафор та еталонів краси у мовній свідомості українців та англійців. Під час дослідження показано відмінність концептів «краса» в українскькій та англійській мовах, що полягає в несиметричності та нерівномірності співвідношення мовних форм та їх змістового змісту.
