Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease of epidemic proportions and has emerged as a major healthcare problem. Compliance to medication plays a crucial role in achieving success in medical treatment and preventing complications. Objective: To assess the treatment compliance among the study participants and explore its perceived barriers and facilitators. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) among 308 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who were selected through systematic random sampling. Qualitative data was collected though in-depth interviews and were analysed by manual content analysis Results: Out of the 308 study participants 47% were found to have high treatment compliance and 20% and 35% were found to have medium and low compliance, respectively. On binomial logistic regression, age, duration since diagnosis, family support and current treatment regimen were found to be significantly associated with treatment compliance. Multiple facilitators of compliance could be identified of which, self-awareness of disease, fear of complications and family support were most pronounced. Whereas inability to purchase the medicines, forgetfulness, and lack of satisfaction with health services, were among the identified barriers of treatment compliance. Conclusion: High Compliance to diabetes medication was found among 47% of the study participants. Tailored interventions against the perceived barriers are necessary to promote compliance and improve glycemic control.

Published: January 2025

The research aims to provide theoretical frameworks on the study's variables (performance audit and software accreditation) and highlight the elements of performance audit and how to use them in obtaining software accreditation for colleges of management and economics through the intermediate role of analysis SWOT. The deductive approach was used to switch from the general aspect related to identifying what software accreditation and what performance audit and its elements to reach the aspect of activating performance audit elements in achieving software accreditation for colleges through the intermediate role of S analysis SWOT. Also, the inductive approach was adopted to switch from the special one related to the research problem observation to the general aspect by circulating recommendations for activating the performance audit elements to complete the program accreditation activities on time. The most important conclusion of the research is the lack of a comprehensive description of activities that develop teaching abilities, nor an extensive description of pedagogical approaches, methods and teaching aids of study programs, which is an obstacle to developing the quality of education and teaching and improving the teaching staff performance.
There is a lack of a description of how to include the expectations of stakeholders, the labour market, graduates, students, society, and policymakers in the curriculum and define learning goals.
There is also a lack of a clear description of how to achieve integration between executive education programs, study programs, and scientific contributions. The most important recommendations include a comprehensive description of activities that develop teaching abilities of pedagogical curricula, methods and teaching aids for study programs, which is an obstacle to the development of the quality of teaching and teaching, improving the performance of the teaching staff. Include a description of how to include stakeholders' expectations, the labour market, graduates, students, society, and policymakers in the curriculum, and define learning goals in strategic plans; include a clear description of how to integrate executive education programs, study programs, and scientific contributions.

Published: January 2025

Impaired fertility in cattle is the cause of economic losses in livestock farms. Complex treatment of cows with acute endometritis may include various approaches, including the use of antibiotics and interferon-based drugs. The therapeutic approach associated with the use of immunostimulating substances is the safest. The aim of the study was to evaluate the blood parameters of cows during the treatment of acute postpartum catarrhal endometritis using «Enrofloxacinferon-B» and «GentabiferonB». It was found that therapy with «Enrofloxacinferon-B», «Gentabiferon-B», and the traditional treatment regimen led to an increase in phagocytic activity, which was probably due to the activation of the immune system of animals. At the same time, during therapy with «Enrofloxacinferon-B», a decrease in catalase activity was observed, which may be due to a decrease in the level of active oxygen forms in the blood of animals during therapy with this drug. It was also noted that during the therapy with «Enrofloxacinferon-B» no changes in the level of the circulating immune complexes were observed, while with the traditional treatment regimen an increase in this indicator was observed. Therapy with «Enrofloxacinferon-B» did not lead to an increase in neutrophils. At the same time, both the traditional treatment regimen and therapy with «Gentabiferon-B» led to an increase in the proportion of neutrophils. It is noteworthy that there was no pronounced negative effect on blood parameters of all three endometritis treatment options. It can be assumed that the most optimal treatment regimen for acute postpartum catarrhal endometritis in cows may be therapy including «Enrofloxacinferon-B» at a dose of 20 ml at intervals of 24 hours for 5 days.

Published: January 2025

The article describes the application of thin-layer chromatography method for the detection of synthetic pyrethroids in hen's eggs obtained in poultry farm egg production facilities located in the Leningrad region after insecticidal treatment with 1% s-biotrin solution. Chromatography was carried out according to the adapted methodology with the use of UVK-HDi ultraviolet cabinet, the company “Petrolaser” Ltd. Sample preparation was based on the analysis of literature sources and the experience of the experiments conducted earlier. For this purpose, the egg contents were homogenized and subjected to extraction with the addition of organic solvent acetone. The obtained extract was centrifuged at 1000 rpm. The precipitate was dehydrated in a desiccator until the lowest mass was reached. No pesticide content was detected in chicken egg samples collected from the insecticide treated poultry house. The results were consistent with those of samples from a control poultry house that had not been treated. The chromatography results of chicken egg samples from production facilities were compared with the results of eggs experimentally treated with a 1% insecticide solution. Solutions of the active substance at the same concentration were used as a control to evaluate the chromatography results. Substance stains on the plates corresponded to the values of pure substance solution samples. The mobility coefficient of s-biotrin was 0.31±0.03. The method of thinlayer chromatography is an accessible and indicative method of qualitative analysis of the content of residual concentrations of synthetic pyrethroids and disinsection efficiency. The use of modern equipment and materials of domestic production makes this method available for laboratories and research organizations of various levels, which demonstrates the relevance of the development of this technique in the context of the need for import substitution.

Authors: Polyanskaya A. I. , Vasiliev D. V.
Published: January 2025

Pig farming is a promising area of animal husbandry in the context of import substitution, the number of enterprises that breed this breed of pigs is increasing. Yorkshire people have high fertility, early puberty, a large daily increase in body weight and the resulting products are not only meat-sucking, but also bacon. The stomach of pigs performs the following functions, such as: formation of gastric juice and enzymes; promotion of a food coma, followed by the formation of chyme; transportation to the duodenum. In addition, knowledge of the basics of the formation of the cardiovascular system is necessary for veterinary specialists engaged in various manipulations in the abdominal cavity. Blood drainage from the gastrointestinal tract is of great diagnostic importance in various diseases associated with the digestive system, such as: gastritis, gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer, intestinal obstruction, portosystemic shunts Cadaveric material for research was delivered to the Department of Animal Anatomy of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the Leningrad Region from the pig breeding complex. The objects are corpses of Yorkshire pigs of two age groups: newborns (1 day of postnatal ontogenesis) and 30 days from birth. To study the age and breed characteristics of the venous bed of pigs, a set of modern anatomical research methods was used: fine anatomical dissection; filling of the venous bed with latex followed by macromorphometry; vasorentgenography. In the course of our study, it was found that from the wall of the stomach in the area of its great curvature and large omentum, venous blood outflows into the right and left gastro-omentum veins, where the left gastro-omentum vein flows into the splenic vein, collecting blood from the wall of the stomach of its cardiac department and tissues of the spleen, and the right gastro-omentum the vein merges with the gastrointestinal duodenum to form the right gastric vein, diverting blood from the stomach wall of its pyloric section and the initial part of the duodenum. Numerous small veins of the diverticulum merge into the left gastric vein. This is an anatomical and topographic feature of the venous bed of Yorkshire pigs.

Published: January 2025

Under experimental conditions, the effect of different feed additives (prebiotic, probiotic, sorbent) on the structure of the rectus head of quadriceps femoris muscle of broiler chickens of meat cross “Cobb-500” (age 35 days) was studied on the basis of light and transmission electron microscopy and micromorphometry methods. The chickens were divided into four groups. In the control group chickens received the basic diet, and in three experimental groups prebiotic, probiotic, sorbent of domestic production was added to it. Light-optical studies determined the ratio of muscle fibers and connective tissue component in the muscle structure, dimensional indices of muscle fibers and their bundles, thickness of endomysium and perimysium, the degree of vascularization of the muscle. At the ultrastructural level, the thickness and packing density of myofibrils, as well as the degree of development of the mitochondrial apparatus of muscle fibers were assessed. It was shown that probiotic administration was accompanied by compaction of muscle structure due to a decrease in the representation of connective tissue component, an increase in the number of largediameter muscle fibers, and better development of mitochondrial network in muscle fibers. Application of prebiotic resulted in activation of metabolic processes in muscle fibers against the background of increase in the total area of mitochondria, increase in the representation of large fibers in the structure of muscle bundles, but the muscle structure was loose due to significant representation of connective tissue component of muscle. When sorbent was used, the muscle structure was characterized by an increase in the representation of connective tissue (more than in other groups), which led to lose packing of muscle fibers in bundles, as well as the predominance of muscle fibers of small and medium diameter in the structure, which was accompanied by an insignificant increase in the total area of mitochondria. The obtained data indicate a different effect of feed additives on tissue metabolism, which leads to changes in the structure of quadriceps muscle of broiler chickens of experimental groups. The obtained data should be taken into account when formulating diets in industrial poultry farming.

Analysis of Wear in UHMWPE Artificial Hip Joint Using Finite Element Method: A Review
Authors: Wahyudi Mujib , Nur Achmad Zain
Published: January 2025

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the most commonly used materials in the fabrication of artificial hip joints due to its excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and wear resistance. Despite its advantages, the wear of UHMWPE components over time leads to the generation of wear particles, which are responsible for osteolysis and implant failure. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has emerged as a powerful tool to simulate the wear mechanisms of UHMWPE in hip implants, providing a deeper understanding of the stress distribution, wear prediction, and optimization of implant designs. This review explores the current state of FEM applications in UHMWPE wear analysis, focusing on the material properties, wear mechanisms, FEM simulation models, and future directions in this research area.
A educação escolar sob as influências dos discursos ideológico- neoliberais: o retrocesso em essência
Authors: Oliveira Ethyenne Goulart , Shimazaki Elsa Midori
Published: January 2025

Fundamentado nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, o presente trabalho discute o processo de ocorrência das influências dos ideários neoliberais sobre a educação escolar, compreendendo-as essencialmente como retrocesso. O estudo se insere na perspectiva histórica e historicizadora dos pensamentos pedagógicos situados nas principais mudanças sociais, e se assenta no método materialista Histórico-Dialético. Compreende-se que as reformas atuais, destinadas especialmente à etapa final do Ensino Básico, constituem meio de ocultamento e negação das contradições evidenciadas entre os movimentos de ‘privatização’ e ‘socialização’, cuja eminência da necessidade de superação se opõe aos interesses hegemônicos burgueses que objetivam a sua manutenção e perpetuação.

Math Lexical Aptitude of the Arabic Speaking EFL Sophomores
Authors: Amani Eseid Abuzied
Published: January 2025

This study gauges the mathematics lexical aptitude of the Arabic speaking EFL sophomores as college students who had their math in Arabic language at school. The study presumes that, the mostly numeric constituent of math and relatively limited lexical content, should enable faster L1-L2 transition and less language barriers. Hence, applying this math numeric-lexical association as a factor of enhancing and expediting Arabic-to-English shift, a sample of 19 Arabic speaking EFL sophomores is taken. The method used in the study is a devised test of two columns for the sophomores to match; one containing worded math terms and phrases, and the second containing numeric items, i.e., values, formulas, geometric shapes. Supposedly the sophomores must have enough math knowledge and skill that enable them to easily match the two columns correctly from their secondary school background especially after they have already “anglicized” it in the math course(s) they studied as freshman college students. This study concludes that the Arabic speaking EFL sophomores don’t reflect the expected Arabic-to-English shift as expected despite the math numeric-lexical association.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to study the behavior of wheat under non-irrigated conditions in the context of recent climate changes, with the objective of choosing the soil for the maximum manifestation of the plant's biological potential under conditions of thermohydric stress. In this sense, five work points were placed in plots sown with the Glosa wheat variety on two types of soil (loamy-sandy and chernozem), in order to evaluate the plant's behavior according to fertility. The obtained results highlighted a degree of twinning of the plant of about 89.74%, in the wheat crop placed on chernozem, exceeding by 16.8% the degree of twinning recorded in wheat plants grown on sandy-loamy soil, where the average of the analyzed points was 72.94%. The analysis of the phytosanitary state of the wheat crop revealed a degree of attack of 46-64% caused by the infection with Puccinia striiformis + Septoria tritici and 0-1.9% caused by Erysiphe graminis, the intensity of the attack being slightly higher with the sown wheat on the chernozem type soil as a result of a higher density of plants and the induction of a wetter microclimate the architecture of the leaf apparatus. The results obtained during the harvesting of the plant, highlighted the recording of the highest productions in the plots of wheat sown on chernozem soil (3664-4735kg/ha), exceeding on average by 82.5% the production recorded on sandy-loamy soil.
Testing and Developing Critical Thinking in an ICLHE Context: Correlations Between Language Competence and Critical Thinking Skills
Authors: McDonnell Christopher Liam , Mezzadri Marco
Published: January 2025

This contribution aims to investigate the potential correlations between performance on critical thinking (CT) assessments and the development of academic language competences in a vehicular language. The context is a preparatory programme (Foundation Year) at the University of Parma for international students who wish to continue their studies in Italy. Specifically, the participants in this study were divided into two subgroups: the first composed of students from Myanmar and the second consisting of students whose first or additional language is from the Slavic language family. Initially, students’ gains on critical thinking assessments after explicit asynchronous critical thinking training were investigated and matched with their performance on a test for Italian as the vehicular language of the Foundation Year (FY) programme. Successively, the correlations between these two datasets were analyzed. The results of the analysis show that, although the CT instruction was effective and led to gains, a clear correlation between CT and performance on the language assessment was not found. Nonetheless, some tendencies as regards the overall development of the students’ language competences were noted, which testify to a possible link between CT and receptive language skills, despite the distance between students’ L1 and the vehicular language. Further investigation should be devoted to analyzing the intersections between CT and a pervasive emphasis on thinking skills throughout the syllabus of the programme. Thus, a follow-up study has been planned which aims to consider more extensively the development of English language competences for academic purposes within the same educational context.

Development strategies for the green hydrogen economy in emerging economies
Authors: Bacil Fabianna , Black Anthony , Domingues Marina , Jin Jun , Lema Rasmus , Robbins Glen , Scholvin Sören
Published: January 2025

Green hydrogen is widely recognized as a promising solution for reconciling economic growth with environmental sustainability. It holds significant potential for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, such as steel and chemicals, and for fostering industrial development, job creation, and technological learning. However, the pathways through which emerging economies can effectively seize these opportunities remain underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by analyzing the green hydrogen strategies of Brazil, Chile, China, and South Africa. Drawing on extensive data, including stakeholder interviews, governmental documents, and academic sources, it uncovers marked contrasts in how these countries approach this window of opportunity. While Chile and South Africa prioritize green hydrogen, and Chile adopts an export-oriented agenda, Brazil and China adopt more technology-agnostic approaches that emphasize domestic markets. These variations reflect differences in natural resource endowments, energy infrastructure, and market dynamics. The analysis reveals that industrial policies across these countries focus predominantly on supply-side measures, with demand-side incentives lagging behind. Moreover, private sector responses often diverge from national strategies, illustrating the challenges of aligning policies with market realities. The findings emphasize the need for tailored, context-sensitive approaches to green hydrogen development, challenging the notion of a universal blueprint. For policymakers in the Global South, this study offers critical insights for leveraging green hydrogen for industrial transformation.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the impact of employee engagement on organizational performance in government hospitals, with particular attention to the moderating role of Psychological Capital – comprising resilience, optimism, self-efficacy, and hope - in strengthening this relationship. Grounded in theories of employee engagement and Positive Organizational Behavior, this research positions Psychological Capital as a critical construct that enhances an individual’s motivational and cognitive resources. By integrating these theoretical perspectives, the study elucidates how engagement and Psychological Capital jointly influence performance outcomes. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected via structured surveys from hospital employees in various administrative and clinical departments. Statistical analyses were then conducted to assess the direct influence of employee engagement on performance, as well as the interaction effect (moderation) of Psychological Capital. Findings confirm that employee engagement has a significant positive effect on performance, underscoring the importance of motivational and supportive work environments in government hospitals. Moreover, the moderating role of Psychological Capital is evident, as higher levels of resilience, optimism, self-efficacy, and hope substantially strengthen the engagement–performance linkage. These results underscore the necessity of strategies - such as organizational learning programs, clear alignment with the hospital's vision and mission, and active employee participation - to cultivate both engagement and Psychological Capital. By highlighting the combined importance of engagement and Psychological Capital, this study offers practical insights for hospital management to refine human resource strategies. Interventions designed to enhance Psychological Capital can bolster engagement, thereby improving service quality and operational efficiency, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes. While previous research has established the positive association between engagement and performance, this study uniquely contributes by empirically testing the moderating role of Psychological Capital within the government hospital context. The findings offer a novel framework for developing targeted interventions that elevate employee motivation, well-being, and organizational success in a setting marked by administrative challenges and resource constraints.

This research aims to analyze the impact of logistics integration and procurement risk management on supply chain performance in goods distribution for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies. The SEM method uses Smart-PLS software version 3.3. The respondents are 202 companies from the economic sector, logistics centers, and transportation service providers. The study results show that information sharing and supplier integration have a significant positive impact on supply chain performance through sharing information about plans, volumes, key performance indicators (KPIs), on-schedule delivery status, and transportation management systems. The novelty of this study is that it shows that procurement risk management is proven to moderate the impact of information sharing on supply chain performance. However, procurement risk management does not reduce the impact of long-term supplier relationships and integration on supply chain performance. It was clear that deliveries were not going well, as deliveries were made in response to demand via the spot market due to truck availability and high prices. Long-term relationships do not have a significant positive impact on supply chain performance.

A estratégia de pesquisa para o desenvolvimento do estudo foi o envio de um questionário contendo sete perguntas, além das perguntas de perfil, sendo perguntas abertas com o objetivo de obter as percepções acerca do objeto de pesquisa e os seus motivos subjacentes. O questionário foi encaminhado a sete empresas, tendo sido respondido por três empresas relevantes no setor de O&G.
