Authors:   Konrad Lorenz editores, Contreras García Francia , González Alvarado Tania Elena , Cabanelas Lorenzo Pablo
Published: January 2025

Introduction/Objective: this study explored the relationship between employee empowerment, internal communication, and organizational culture, analyzing their impact on talent attraction and retention.

Methodology: researchers administered a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire to a sample of 802 employees from a multinational corporation operating in an emerging market. The data underwent analysis using regression techniques.

Results: the findings highlighted a strong positive relationship between employee empowerment and internal communication, along with a significant association between empowerment and talent attraction. Additionally, the analysis revealed an inverse relationship between organizational culture and internal communication, suggesting that a stronger organizational culture enhanced internal communication, thereby improving talent attraction.

Conclusions: developing a workplace environment that prioritized empowerment and internal communication during times of change, coupled with promoting a positive organizational culture, strengthened talent management even in challenging scenarios such as the pandemic. This study offered a comprehensive perspective on the interplay of these variables and identified new avenues for advancing talent management practices.

Metodología: se aplicó un cuestionario de 20 ítems con escala de Likert a una muestra de 802 empleados de una empresa multinacional en un mercado emergente. Los datos se analizaron mediante regresión.

Resultados: los resultados indican una relación positiva fuerte entre el empoderamiento de los empleados y la comunicación interna, así como una asociación significativa entre el empoderamiento y la atracción de talento. Además, se observó una relación inversa entre la cultura organizacional y la comunicación interna, lo que sugiere que una cultura organizacional más sólida podría mejorar la comunicación interna y, por ende, la atracción de talento.

Conclusiones: la creación de un entorno laboral donde el empoderamiento y la comunicación interna son prioridades en tiempos de cambio, y donde la cultura organizacional se promueve de manera positiva mejoran la gestión del talento humano, aun bajo escenarios difíciles como la pandemia. Este estudio ofrece una visión integral de cómo estas variables interactúan y sugiere nuevas líneas de investigación para mejorar la gestión del talento.
Pengembangan Pembangkit Biogas dalam Kajian Sains Islam untuk Keberlanjutan Pelestarian Lingkungan
Authors: Sudibyo Henny , Wresta Arini
Published: January 2025

Biogas is a renewable energy derived from the degradation of organic materials, such as agricultural waste, livestock waste, and others. Several Qur'anic verses in Islam explicitly support the wise and effective utilization of natural resources; this includes the concept of sustainability and sustainable management of resources. “Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.” is an example of biogas management' relationship with the Qur'an (QS. Thaha: 54). Biogas made from livestock manure is an example of wise resource utilization and is in line with Islamic teachings about not wasting natural potential. Using biogas as a renewable energy source reflects the concept of sustainability (istidamiyyah), which is highly encouraged in Islam. The use of biogas reduces the use of fossil fuels, reuses organic waste that normally pollutes the environment, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Biogas generation is closely related to Islamic teachings on environmental conservation, effective resource management, and the role of humans as khalifah on earth. By utilizing renewable energy such as biogas, Muslims can apply the teachings of the Qur'an to protect the Earth, prevent damage, and maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to synthesize 4-nitro-4’-methoxy chalcone and determine the potential of 4-nitro-4’-methoxy chalcone as an antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The synthesis of 4-nitro-4’-methoxy chalcone was carried out using the grinding technique, an environmentally friendly green synthesis approach—characterization of the synthesized chalcone using FTIR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. The research demonstrated that 4-nitro-4’-methoxy chalcone could be synthesized via grinding techniques using 4-methoxyacetophenone, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, and NaOH as catalysts. The synthetic process achieved higher yields and was environmentally friendly due to the absence of organic solvents. The resulting product was yellow crystalline with a yield of 54.42% and a melting point of 172°C–173°C. Antibacterial activity tests revealed that the synthesized chalcone exhibited greater inhibition against E. coli than S. aureus. This was evidenced by the clear zones formed (9.57 mm for S. aureus and 12.46 mm for E. coli), indicating that 4-nitro-4’-methoxy chalcone possesses strong antibacterial activity.

Published: January 2025

Methylene blue is a synthetic dye commonly used in the textile industry. Methylene blue waste that is discharged into water bodies without treatment causes environmental pollution. One method of waste treatment is adsorption. Hydrotalcite is an anionic clay consisting of stacked positively charged layers, usually divalent (+2) and trivalent (+3) metal cations, and has anions between the layers. This study aims to determine the synthesis method of Zn/Al-Oxalate hydrotalcite, and its characterization results are compared with Zn/Al-NO3 hydrotalcite to determine the optimum conditions of Zn/Al-Oxalate hydrotalcite in adsorbing methylene blue dye and to determine the kinetic and isotherm models of adsorption. Zn/Al-Oxalate hydrotalcite was successfully synthesized by the coprecipitation method and continued with the hydrothermal process at a temperature of 120°C for 20 hours. Hydrotalcite Zn/Al-Oxalate was characterized using FTIR and XRD. The optimum condition of hydrotalcite Zn/Al-Oxalate in adsorbing methylene blue dye was carried out by the batch method at optimum pH 7, contact time 60 minutes, adsorbent weight 80 mg, and methylene blue concentration 20 mg/L. The adsorption kinetics of hydrotalcite Zn/Al-Oxalate in adsorbing methylene blue followed the pseudo-second-order model. with a value of R2 = 0.9996 and k = 0.2047 mg/g.min and the adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model R2 = 0.9904, qm = 19.8413 mg/g and kL = 2.913 L/mg.
Foetal Mouse Neural Stem Cells Give Rise to Ependymal Cells in Vitro
Authors: Mokrý Jaroslav , Karbanová J.
Published: January 2025

NSCs are responsible for the generation of CNS cell types derived from the neural tube. Published data resulting from experiments studying the differentiation of NSCs in vitro or in vivo have confirmed their spontaneous tripotency, i.e. their ability to generate cells of the neuronal, astroglial and oligodendroglial lineages. The relationship between NSCs generated in vitro and ependymal cells has not yet been studied. To confirm that ependymal cells can also be produced by NSCs, we utilized the neurosphere assay, which permits isolation and cultivation of NSCs. Cells from the forebrain of E14-15 Balb/c foetuses were grown in DMEM/F12-N2 medium supplemented with EGF and FGF-2 to form multicellular neurospheres. After 3 to 8 passages, neurospheres were plated on surfaces coated with poly-L-lysine, polyornithine and/or laminin in dishes containing the same medium where cytokines were replaced with serum. Under these conditions, neurosphere cells spread over the surface forming a cellular layer consisting of β β-III tubulin+ neuronal, GFAP+ astroglial and O4+ oligodendroglial cells. When these cells were cultivated for prolonged periods, they formed islands of epitheloid cells. Following 2 to 3 weeks in vitro, ependymal cells with beating cilia appeared among these cells. Ciliated ependymal cells were observed in small clusters or as single cells scattered in certain areas. Confocal microscopy confirmed the presence of α α-tubulin-immunoreactive cilia arranged in tufts located on the apical surface of epitheloid cells. Our data indicate that ependymal cells are spontaneously derived from NSCs.
Distinct Co-regulation of Endogenous versus Transfected MITF-Dependent Tyrosinase Promoter
Authors: Šestáková B. , Vachtenheim Jiří
Published: January 2025

The tissue-specific control of gene activation in melanocytes is directed by the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), a master regulator of melanocyte development and differentiation. Tyrosinase is a rate-limiting enzyme in melanin biosynthesis and a prototypic MITF target. While the expression of tyrosinase is restricted to pigmented cells, the transfected tyrosinase promoter is active in a broad range of cell types if ectopic MITF is co-expressed. Here we used the E1A oncoprotein and its mutants as repressors of both the transiently transfected and endogenous tyrosinase promoter. We report that the requirement of the E1A N-terminus for repression of the MITF-activated tyrosinase promoter and the sensitivity to derepression by the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A are distinct when the activity of the transiently transfected or the endogenous promoter is analysed in U2-OS cells. Thus, for transiently transfected versus chromatin-embedded promoter, the activity of obligatory MITF seems to be executed through different mechanisms of transcriptional coactivation.

Published: January 2025

Ecological sanitation converts human waste into safe compost, known as humanure, offering a sustainable solution for managing faecal matter. This approach not only recycles nutrients but also reduces environmental pollution. Enriched humanure was prepared by mixing humanure, biochar and human urine in ratios of 1:1:1 and 1:1:1.5 and the mixture was enriched for 30 days. The pH, electrical conductivity (EC), nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content of the bioinputs (humanure, biochar, human urine) alone and the enriched humanure (1:1:1 and 1:1:1.5) were characterized. To test the efficacy of the enriched humanure, field trials were conducted during the winter and summer seasons in Vridhachalam on marigolds (Hybrid-Bens tall) using a randomized block design with 11 treatments in three replications. Treatments included bioinputs alone, unenriched and enriched humanure, 50% enriched humanure + 50% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), RDF + farm yard manure (FYM) and FYM alone. Fertilizers and manures were applied based on the crop s' nitrogen requirement of 90: 90:75 kg/ha. The results showed significantly higher plant growth, flower yield (27.0 to 27.5 t/ha) and flower quality were recorded in the application of enriched humanure in the ratio of 1:1:1 followed by 1:1:1.5 compared to all other bio-inputs treatments and the control. Enriched humanure (1:1:1) proved the most effective treatment for improving marigold growth and yield.
Capacity Building and Participation in Conserving the Multi-Layered Cultural Heritage of Bergama
Authors: Okyay Bayazit Gülce Güleycan
Published: January 2025

Capacity building, as a frequently emphasized approach in the global discourse, takes precedence in all disciplines with regard to the possibilities it offers. The idea of applying this approach to the field of conservation can be considered one of the prominent topics in current heritage studies. Various endeavors, such as improving the knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors of individuals and communities, strengthening institutional/organizational structures, and dynamizing the relationship between heritage and its context, are becoming increasingly important from the relevant perspective. In this light, this article primarily aims to adapt capacity building to the field of conservation and examine its conceptual framework in detail. It scrutinizes the approach within the context of the “involvement of communities, NGOs, and other stakeholders in the management process”, as mentioned in the World Heritage Capacity Building Strategy. Within this scope, the research specifically focuses on the urban core of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bergama (Pergamon) and Its Multi-layered Cultural Landscape, where daily life and, accordingly, heritage-community relations continue to form and evolve. It can be argued that a unique methodological construct has been proposed for this research, based on the general capacity building framework presented by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Firstly, the key actors of the heritage area were examined. Moreover, the existing and targeted capacity, as well as the needs of the area, were evaluated. The identification of research-specific capacity indicators through keyword scanning, a survey conducted with the local dwellers, semi-structured interviews, the utilization of a capacity building scale developed for experts, and frequency analysis are among the dominant tools employed in the above-mentioned process. In this framework, the research ultimately aims at developing a holistic capacity building approach towards Bergama.

An accident was happened? Conceptual and input biases in the overpassivization of English unaccusative verbs
Authors: Kim Jieun , Han Shinshil , Lee Sang-Ki
Published: January 2025

The overpassivization of unaccusative verbs (e.g., An accident was happened) has been widely observed among second language (L2) learners, regardless of their first languages. In an attempt to determine the effects of cognitive factors on overpassivization, the present study investigated how input frequency, types of alternation (i.e., unaccusatives with and without transitive counterparts), types of causation (i.e., externally and internally caused events), and the interactions among these factors affect L2 learners’ judgments of English unaccusativity. A forced-choice acceptability judgment task (AJT) was administered to 97 Korean EFL learners, utilizing 52 items based on the three factors. According to a multilevel regression model, all those factors and the three-way interaction among them significantly predicted learners’ AJT scores. Specifically, in externally caused event construals, learners demonstrated greater accuracy when exposed to high frequency and non-alternating verbs. Additionally, accurate judgments on alternating unaccusatives were associated with discourse contexts interpreted as internally caused rather than externally caused. These findings highlight the importance of considering the statistical nature of language learning, learners’ learning histories, and potential conceptual biases in explaining L2 English unaccusativity. Overall, the study sheds light on the complex interplay between linguistic input and cognitive factors in L2 acquisition processes.

Published: January 2025

The military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, and the further introduction of martial law affected all spheres of Ukrainian society, including the non-profit sector’s activities. As a result, civil society institutions were forced to adapt to new public needs, as well as to emerging security challenges and new regulatory restrictions. In this research note, we examine on one side, how the martial law and previous legislation (and the related societal upheavals) have shaped the new roles and functioning of non-profit organizations in Ukraine and, on the other side, what the challenges to volunteers’ and domestic non-profit organizations’ activities in Ukraine deriving from these regulations and legislations. The identification of these challenges ensues from a survey of the Ukrainian non-profit sector as well as an analysis of Ukrainian regulation, statistical data, and recent scientific papers. Overall, we highlight a key discrepancy between Ukrainians’ concept of charitable activities as well as humanitarian aid and the Western approach to the same concepts and suggest regulatory improvements to address other challenges identified to facilitate philanthropic activities in Ukraine.

Published: January 2025

The development of information technology has had a big impact on human life. The impact of the development of information technology is the internet, which reaches all circles of society. The development of the internet has positive and negative impacts. The positive impact of the internet is that it helps humans get information quickly and can be reached anywhere. Meanwhile, the negative impact of the internet itself is the existence of cybercrime. There are various modes of cybercrime, one of which is the most often encountered by the public: adware-type malware, often known as malicious online advertising. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence public awareness of cybercrime in adware. This research uses a quantitative method approach with sample criteria for respondents who live on Java Island with an age range of 18–45 years and actively use the internet. The data from the distributed questionnaires was processed with the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SSEM) using SmartPLS 4. The results obtained showed that of the 10 hypotheses that had been proposed, 8 were accepted. Based on these results, there are factors that influence public awareness of cybercrime, including the use of social media, cybercrime information and news, cybercrime law enforcement, and adware knowledge. Furthermore, adware knowledge is influenced by cybercrime information, news, and social media usage.

Published: January 2025

User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) play a crucial role in determining a system's usability. Although designed for widespread use, the Solo Destination app has not been assessed for its usability. This study evaluates the app using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and Human-Centered Design (HCD) methods. The sample size was determined using Slovin’s formula, resulting in 50 participants, with 5 chosen for in-depth interviews to gain deeper insights. The initial evaluation showed that the app scored 55.55 on the SUS, placing it in the marginal low category within the acceptability range. This score corresponds to a grade scale of D and an "OK" adjective rating. Interviews conducted during the inspiration phase provided detailed data for the subsequent ideation phase, where brainstorming identified seven main issues: features, reminders, event updates, information delivery, color, layout, and hierarchy. In the implementation phase, solutions to these issues were developed into a prototype using Figma. The improved prototype was then retested using the same methods. The retest showed a significant improvement, with the SUS score rising to 82.05. This places the app in the acceptable category, with a grade scale of B and a "good" adjective rating. This research highlights the importance of continuous usability evaluation and user focused design. Addressing identified issues significantly enhanced the app’s usability, ensuring better user acceptance and satisfaction.
Comparison of clinical artificial oocyte activation protocols on mouse egg activation and embryo development
Authors: González Lucas N , Sulzyk Valeria , Cuasnicú Patricia S , Cohen Débora J
Published: January 2025

In brief

Artificial oocyte activation (AOA) with Ca2+ ionophores is a valuable tool in assisted reproduction but may affect cellular events critical for embryo development. This study shows the impact of different AOA protocols on embryonic development efficiency and meiotic progression.

AOA with Ca2+ ionophores is an experimental procedure that benefits patients who fail to obtain fertilized eggs. However, the impact of non-physiological Ca2+ increases on cellular events involved in the egg–embryo transition and early development remains poorly understood. Using the mouse model, this study compares common Ca2+ ionophore protocols applied in clinical practice – one or two exposures to A23187 or a single exposure to ionomycin – focusing on embryonic development and cellular events associated with egg activation. All groups of ionophore-activated eggs exhibit lower levels of first mitotic division compared to those activated by spermatozoa or SrCl2, attributable to variations in Ca2+ dynamics during activation. At the cellular level, these eggs presented defects in spindle morphology and chromosome segregation during meiosis progression, associated with lower levels of cytoplasmic ATP, without changes in reactive oxygen species. These findings highlight the importance of optimizing Ca2+ management in AOA protocols.

Проведена оценка состояния нарушенных пожарами, рубками и насекомыми-вредителями участков лесных земель в предгорьях Восточного Саяна в присущих району исследования лесных формациях - кедровой ( Pinus sibirica Du Tour), пихтовой ( Abies sibirica Ledeb.), сосновой ( Pinus sylvestris L.), еловой ( Picea obovata Ledeb.), лиственничной ( Larix sibirica Ledeb.), березовой ( Betula pendula Roth), осиновой ( Populus tremula L.), а также на участках лесных культур. Установлено, что вследствие воздействия пожаров, насекомых-вредителей, рубок и ветровалов происходит ухудшение санитарного состояния лесов. Выявлены закономерности естественного лесовосстановления на нарушенных участках лесных земель. Отмечено, что в результате разрастания густого травяного покрова, образования мощной подстилки, разрастания мха сфагнума ( Sphagnum L.) и возникновения частых пожаров на большей части нарушенных участков лесных земель отмечается неудовлетворительное лесовосстановление. На участках с достаточным количеством жизнеспособного подроста естественное лесовозобновление происходит вегетативным способом мягколиственными малоценными древесными породами (березой и осиной), которые, в свою очередь, угнетают молодое неокрепшее поколение хвойных деревьев (в том числе лесных культур) за счет затенения и конкурентной борьбы за почвенные элементы питания.

An assessment of the state of forest lands disturbed by fires, logging and insects in the foothills of the Eastern Sayan Mountains in the forest formations inherent in the study area (Siberian stone pine ( Pinus sibirica Du Tour), fir ( Abies sibirica Ledeb.), Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.), spruce ( Picea obovata Ledeb.), larch ( Larix sibirica Ledeb.), birch ( Betula pendula Roth), aspen ( Populus tremula L.)) as well as in forest crops was carried out. The impact of fires, insects, logging, and windfalls was found to result in degradation of the forest health conditions of all forest formations within the boundaries of the foothills of the Eastern Sayan Mountains. Characteristics of natural reforestation on disturbed areas of forest lands were revealed. Unsatisfactory reforestation was observed on most of the disturbed areas of forest lands due to proliferation of the dense grass cover, the formation of a thick duff, the growth of sphagnum (Sphagnum L.) and the occurrence of frequent fires. In cases where there is a sufficient amount of healthy regeneration, natural reforestation occurs by vegetative propagation of soft-leaved low-value tree species (birch and aspen), which, in turn, inhibit the young immature generation of coniferous trees (including forest plantations) due to shading and competition for soil nutrients.
ОПЫТ ТУШЕНИЯ ТОРФЯНЫХ ПОЖАРОВ ПОДТОПЛЕНИЕМ
Authors: СЕКЕРИН И.М. , ЗАЛЕСОВ С.В. , ЕРИЦОВ А.М. , КРЕКТУНОВ А.А.
Published: January 2025

Обобщен опыт ликвидации торфяных пожаров в летний период на территории Свердловской области. Установлено, что большинство торфяных пожаров развивается из беглых низовых в мае, когда на территории области наблюдается пик горимости. Чаще всего торфяные пожары возникают на заброшенных осушенных торфяниках. При продвижении беглого низового пожара по осушенному торфянику на участках с обнаженным торфом или со значительным запасом напочвенных горючих материалов горение заглубляется в торфяную залежь и формируются многоочаговые торфяные пожары. Кроме того, обнаружение весной на осушенных торфяниках очагов горения нередко связано с непотушенными в прошлом году торфяными пожарами. К наиболее эффективным способам ликвидации торфяных пожаров относится подтопление, при котором создаются специальные плотины высотой до 0.5 м, препятствующие сбросу воды по элементам рельефа, ручьям, канавам. Первая плотина создается в самом низком месте очагов тления, а затем - каскад дополнительных плотин вверх по рельефу местности. Каждая плотина должна держать уровень воды до 0.5 м. Экспериментально установлено, что способом подтопления можно потушить 80 % всех очагов торфяных пожаров. Там, где потушить пожар подтоплением невозможно, его тушат сосредоточенной струей воды. После ликвидации торфяного пожара требуется длительный мониторинг за потушенной площадью, поскольку возможно повторное возгорание от скрытых очагов тления.

An experience of eliminating peat-bog fires in summer period on the territory of Sverdlovsk Oblast is summarized in the article. It was found that most peat-bog fires develop from fugitive grassroots fires in May, when forest fire peak is observed in the region. Most often, peak fires occur on abandoned drained peat bogs. When a runway ground fire spreads across an uncovered peat bog in areas with bare peat or with a significant supply of ground combustible materials combustion deepens into a peat deposit and multifocal peat-bog fires are formed. In addition, the detection of fires in drained peatlands in spring is often associated with peat fires that were not extinguished last year. The most effective way to eliminate peat-bog fire is flooding, in which special dams are created up to 0.5 m high, which prevent the discharge of water along the relief elements streams, and channels. The first dam is created in the lowest place of the smoldering centers and then a cascade of additional dams is created up the terrain relief. Each dam should hold the water level up to 0.5 m. It is experimentally established, that by the method of flooding 80 % of all peat-bog fires can be extinguished. Where it is impossible to extinguish fire by flooding, it extinguished with a concentrated stream of water. After the elimination of peat-bog fire it is required long term monitoring of the extinguished area, since it is possible that open smoldering foci will reignite.

Published: January 2025

This article is the first study on the naming strategies in the ethnobotanical nomenclature of medicinal plants in Cashinahua (Pano). This linguistic group is located in the Yuruá-Purús basin, on the border between Peru and Brazil. This study focuses on the variety spoken in Peru. First, within the framework of cognitive semantics, we have seen the use of an important series of metonymies, metaphors and metaphtonymies to name a whole paradigm of plants according to their medicinal uses and the Cashinahua cosmovision. A Cashinahua taxonomy has also been identified that distinguishes plants with a generic name and distinct curative properties, and several plants with specific names and similar curative properties. There are also specific plant names that correspond to a single plant family. Finally, four morphosyntactic processes have been analyzed, which are prefixation, nominal composition, suffixation and clitization, and the whole paradigm of nominalization of clauses in Cashinahua has been described for the first time.

The use of nicknames to refer to Premier League English Football Teams in Spanish digital press
Authors: Luján-García Carmen , Núñez Nogueroles Eugenia Esperanza
Published: January 2025

As alcunhas estão associadas, há muito tempo, a vários desportos em diferentes países e línguas, pelo que não é de estranhar que sejam utilizadas para designar diferentes clubes de futebol ingleses. Muitas vezes, estes apelativos estão culturalmente ligados às origens ou à história destas equipas de futebol, bem como aos seus adeptos. Investigações anteriores centraram-se na análise da utilização de alcunhas no domínio do desporto, mas não foram encontrados estudos recentes que abordem a área específica dos clubes de futebol ingleses. Este artigo pretende fornecer dados sobre a utilização de alcunhas referentes a equipas de futebol inglesas que participaram na Premier League durante a época 2023/2024 no contexto da imprensa digital espanhola. O motor de busca de anglicismos ‘Observatorio Lázaro’ é usado para extrair exemplos de utilização real de vários jornais espanhóis em linha, de abril de 2020 a fevereiro de 2024. Uma análise qualitativa e quantitativa da amostra revela que os jornalistas espanhóis tendem a utilizar muitos dos apelativos examinados para se referirem a clubes de futebol ingleses. As motivações subjacentes a estas utilizações são discutidas, tendo em conta algumas funções linguísticas pragmáticas destas alcunhas.

La rápida globalización y la creciente necesidad de comunicación interlingüística requieren corpus modernos y en tiempo real para ayudar a los estudiantes de idiomas. Los métodos tradicionales para crear dichos corpus, especialmente en español, son inadecuados debido a su incapacidad para procesar la gran cantidad de datos no estructurados disponibles en internet. En este estudio se exploran las metodologías de inteligencia artificial (IA) para la adquisición automática de documentos en español de la web, preprocesándolos y clasificándolos con el fin de construir un corpus vasto y flexible para el aprendizaje del español. La investigación aplica el rastreo web mediante el framework Scrapy para recopilar datos, que luego se limpian y clasifican utilizando modelos avanzados de procesamiento del lenguaje natural (PLN). En concreto, el estudio emplea el algoritmo BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) y su variante mejorada RoBERTa para lograr la clasificación de documentos. Mediante una combinación de técnicas de aumento de datos y modelos de aprendizaje profundo, el estudio logra una alta precisión en la clasificación de texto en español, lo que demuestra el potencial del uso de la IA para superar las limitaciones de los enfoques tradicionales de creación de corpus.

Background: From ancient times, plants have been prized for their prophylactic, pain-relieving, and healing properties, and today we still rely on the curative properties of these medicinal plants. Natural resources, including plants, have played a vital role for human beings from the past to the present. Healing with plants is one of the indispensable approaches implemented by mankind since the existence of humanity.

Purpose: The majority of the world’s population, especially in developing countries, obtains the necessary source for their food and health from natural resources, including plants. All of those customs and medical procedures, whether they date back to the time of the apothecaries or not, are attempts to improve the quality of life by overcoming disease and suffering.

Methods: Numerous plant species found all over the world are used medicinally because they contain active ingredients that operate directly on the body pharmacologically. Known for their effectiveness in treating central nervous system disorders, some well-known and established medicinal plants of Indian origin are discussed in this review.

Results: Researchers have identified a number of benefits of traditional medicine, including its diversity, adaptability, accessibility, applicability in developing nations, growing appeal in wealthy nations, relative affordability, and low frequency of adverse effects from medicinal plants. According to estimates from the WHO, central nervous system disorders affect more than one billion people globally. These conditions include multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, migraine and other headache disorders, neuro-infections, brain tumors, and traumatic nervous system diseases. Mental disorders, on the other hand, are psychiatric illnesses or diseases (i.e., anxiety, depression, behavioral disturbances, etc.). These include Bacopa monniera, Centella asiatica, Convolvulus pluricaulis, Withania somnifera, Ocimum sanctum, and Emblica officinalis. A few of the most promising ones include Alternanthera sessilis, Clerodendrum infortunatum, Argyreia nervosa, Moringa oleifera, Cassia tora, Elaeocarpus ganitrus, Spinacia oleracea, and Chenopodium album, which are also listed in old Indian scriptures from the time of Charaka.

Conclusion: The focus is an attempt to compile all scientific publications pertinent to the topic so as to serve as a ready reference for future researchers working in the field of natural resources and its effect on mental health.

Pediatricians and pediatric trainees in North America are increasingly involved in caring for children and adolescents in or from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In many LMICs, hazardous environmental exposures—notably outdoor and household air pollution, water pollution, lead, pesticides, and other manufactured chemicals—are highly prevalent and account for twice the proportion of disease and deaths among young children as in North America. Climate change will likely worsen these exposures.

It is important that pediatricians and other pediatric health professionals from high-income countries who work in LMICs be aware of the disproportionately severe impacts of toxic environmental hazards, become knowledgeable about the major local/regional environmental threats, and consider environmental factors in their differential diagnoses. Likewise, pediatricians in high-income countries who care for patients who have emigrated from LMICs need to be aware that these children may be at elevated risk of toxic environmental diseases from past exposures to toxic environmental hazards in their countries of origin as well as ongoing exposures in products imported from their home countries, including traditional foods, medications, and cosmetics.

Because diseases of toxic environmental origin seldom have unique physical signatures, pediatricians can utilize the environmental screening history, supplemented by laboratory testing, as a diagnostic tool. To prepare pediatricians to care for children in and from LMICs, pediatric organizations could increase the amount of environmental health and climate change content offered in continuing medical education (CME) credits, maintenance of certification (MOC) credits, and certification and recertification examinations. Broadly, it is important that governments and international agencies increase resources directed to pollution prevention, strengthen the environmental health workforce, and expand public health infrastructure in all countries.

The object of study is the drying of agricultural plant products. Artificial heat drying of agricultural plant products (seeds, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.), as a traditional method of canning and preparation for storage and further processing, usually takes place in dryers of seasonal use. To reduce the consumption of traditional types of organic fuel, it is proposed to use a lightweight portable film solar collector to heat the drying agent in seasonal dryers. A mathematical description of thermal processes in a solar collector is given. To increase the efficiency (degree of air heating), devices are proposed – heat exchange intensifiers. Effective methods of increasing the thermal power of the solar collector based on the use of ring and spiral turbolyzers of the coolant flow and sectional multi-pipe (multi-element) absorber have been theoretically substantiated, experimentally confirmed. The use of these structural elements of the solar collector will increase the thermal performance per unit area of the solar radiation absorber, which will increase the heating of the blunt carrier with 26 °С before 32 °C for tube absorbers and up to 36 °C for sectional absorbers. Maximum specific power of the solar collector with an area 240 m2 – 0.2 kW/m2 with a specific flow rate of the coolant of 23 m3/h·m2. For systems of active ventilation of seed material with specific air flow rates up to 100 m3/h·m2, it is possible to heat the atmospheric air up to 10 °C, which ensures round-the-clock drying of the product. A simplified mathematical model is formulated to intensify parameters according to the data of experiments. The heat transfer coefficients from the film absorber of solar energy to the heated air are determined. The results of the experimental determination of the thermal characteristics of the solar collector and its energy efficiency are presented. As the calculations showed, a further increase in the performance of the tubular solar collector is possible with an increase in the flow rate in the film absorber, which can be realized by reducing the diameter of the pipeline.

The object of this study is the hydrodynamic processes in ceramic catalytic converters used in high-temperature petroleum refining. This is essential for improving fuel quality and adhering to environmental regulations. The research addresses the optimization of catalytic converter performance by understanding the interactions within their porous ceramic structures, influenced by fluid flow, heat transfer, and chemical reactions. It advocates for computational modeling to simulate these processes more accurately, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods.
The paper is aimed at developing a robust system integrating computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with experimental data to optimize ceramic catalytic converter performance. A mathematical model was created to combine fluid dynamics within the ceramic’s porous structure with the chemical kinetics of catalytic reactions in petroleum refining.
Key findings show that optimizing parameters such as flow velocity and catalyst loading enhances the distribution of reactants across its surface, leading to improved conversion efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The research demonstrates that diffusion and kinetic limitations critically influence catalytic performance. Higher cobalt concentrations in the catalyst layer promoted diffusion-controlled reactions, enhancing efficiency at high flow rates.
The results offer practical applications for the petroleum refining industry, providing a framework to design more efficient catalytic converters. This modeling approach enables engineers to optimize catalytic system designs, improving operational efficiency and compliance with regulatory standards.
Moreover, the study highlights areas for further research, such as expanding the model to include more complex operational conditions and integrating real-time experimental data for better accuracy. This will improve both the design and performance of ceramic catalytic converters in high-temperature refining processes. Future work could also explore scalability for industrial systems, facilitating the integration of optimized catalytic converters into refinery setups to meet performance and environmental standards.
