ON THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS OF CREATION OF CITRUS «TREE GARDENS»
Authors:   Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Federal Research Centre the Subtropical Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sochi, Russia, Gorshkov Vycheslav Mihailovich
Published: March 2024

The main breeding techniques used in the 50s of the 19th century by breeder F.M. Zorin – creator of the Friendship Tree, candidate of agricultural sciences (1944), are considered. Fyodor Mikhailovich developed valuable varieties of mandarin oranges, grapefruits, lemons, plums, figs, and hazelnuts. Author of more than 40 scientific papers. He was awarded the State Prize for the creation of new varieties of fruit plants. This article shows theoretical research and practically used methods for breeding new varieties of citrus fruits. The basis of his research was vegetative hybridization (from Greek “hybris” – inbreeding) – the production of hybrids by grafting. Zorin F.M. paid a special role in the breeding work to “tree gardens”, which were of both scientific and industrial importance. Fruits from such a tree could change shape, size, color and ripening time. At the same time, he paid attention not only to the selection of the scion, but also the rootstock. As a result, such a tree had many trunks, and the crown consisted of numerous varieties and species of three genera – Citrus, Fortunella, Poncirus of the Rutaceae family. Almost the entire Pomeranian subfamily (Aurantioideae) grafts onto each other and is highly compatible. It is important to take into account varietal characteristics: timing of flowering and ripening, as well as their biology. The main advantages of citrus «tree-gardens» are the saving of garden space, the aesthetic appearance of the trees and originality, as well as the ability to obtain more varieties per unit area.

Whole blood analysis can evaluate numerous parameters, including pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO3−, base excess, glucose, electrolytes, lactate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin, and hemoglobin. This valuable tool enables clinicians to make more informed decisions about patient care. However, the current body of literature describing perioperative whole blood analysis in Dorset sheep (Ovis aries) is small, so clinicians lack adequate information to guide their decision-making when evaluating test results. We evaluated arterial and venous whole blood pH, bicarbonate, pCO2, lactate, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen before and for the first 24 hours after surgery in 2 cohorts of male and female Ovis aries undergoing one of 2 major cardiovascular procedures, a Single-Stage Fontan or an inferior vena cava to pulmonary artery extracardiac conduit implantation (IP-ECC). The cohort undergoing a Single-Stage Fontan, which is the more complex procedure, exhibited greater deviation from baseline measurements than did the cohort undergoing the IP-ECC for lactate, bicarbonate, and creatinine. The cohort undergoing the IP-ECC showed no significant deviation from baseline for any parameters, potentially indicating a better safety margin than expected when compared with the Single-Stage Fontan. Together, these results indicate the clinical value of arterial and venous whole blood measurements in perioperative management of sheep and can provide a reference for clinicians managing sheep after significant cardiovascular procedures.

Published: March 2024

Extended-release (ER) local anesthetics are often incorporated in multi-modal analgesia or as an alternative when the effect of systemic analgesics may confound research. In this study, we compared the analgesic efficacy of 2 ER bupivacaine anesthetics with different ER mechanisms, a slow-release bupivacaine-meloxicam polymer (BMP) and a sucrose acetate isobutyrate bupivacaine (SABER-B) system. We used a full-thickness unilateral skin incision porcine model to evaluate the efficacy of these 2 ER bupivacaine analgesics. Eighteen male swine were randomized into 3 groups: control (saline; n = 6), bupivacaine:meloxicam (10 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg; n = 6), and SABER-B (10 mg/kg; n = 6). After surgery, pigs were assessed for changes in body weight, salivary cortisol level, and response to von Frey testing at 1, 3, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 h. Body weight and salivary cortisol levels were not significantly different between groups. Based on the von Frey testing, the pigs that received analgesics showed a significantly higher withdrawal threshold of nociceptive stimulus than those that received saline at 1, 3, 6, and 24 h after the surgery. At 48 h after surgery, the SABER-B group had a significantly higher withdrawal threshold than the saline group. The withdrawal threshold was not significantly different from the baseline measurement on intact skin at 3 and 6 h after surgery in the BMP group or 1 and 3 h for the SABERB group. The analgesic effects of BMP were greatest at 3 and 6 h after surgery and that of SABER-B as 1 and 3 h SABER-B provided an earlier onset of analgesia and longer analgesia duration than did BMP. This study demonstrates that ER bupivacaine can provide pigs with 24 to 48 h of analgesia for incisional pain.

THE MISSION OF A JOURNALIST IN THE ESSAYISTIC INTERPRETATIONS BY OLEGARIO GONZÁLEZ DE CARDEDAL
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lylo Taras
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes Olegario González de Cardedal’s views on journalistic mission, that he interprets as a “ministry”. For him, a journalist is the minister of the word, the creator and the interpreter of events, the spokesperson of human being and the witness of human hope. For the Spanish Catholic theologian and author, the newspaper is both “structure and soul”. He believes that media is something more than an ordinary profitable enterprise and interprets journalism as a “spiritual ministry”. A prerequisite for the true ministry is the hierarchical system of values. In this context, for González de Cardedal the most important are “decisive values”, “permanent priorities”, from the positions of which one should think. He also defines two main ideals of mass communication: the development of nobility and the strengthening of freedom. In addition, Olegario González de Cardedal emphasizes such features of a journalist as the devotion to the truth, the respect for facts, the professional cognition of the order of reality, the empathy and the freedom in relation to the powerful of this world. Moreover, the essayist pays special attention to the need for a more targeted approach to the coverage of international events. Olegario González de Cardedal believes that a reader first of all looks in a newspaper not only for what helps him get closer to the people who live nearby, but also to those ones who live far away. This, in his opinion, is a necessity at a time when information is a source of orientation in the struggle for existence, especially at a time of integral challenges that make geographical distances relative. “Human life has already reached cosmic proportions, and we cannot be human without being neighbors. Even through a provincial newspaper, great events of the world must travel: its landscapes, its people, its destinies...” Recognizing the fact that all newspapers are fundamentally local, however, the thinker notes, they must all build a common consciousness, convince of the common purpose and hope. Keywords: journalistic mission, newspaper, values, ideals of communication, freedom.

Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Lyzanchuk Vasyl
Published: March 2024

The article reveals and characterizes the methodological features of teaching the discipline «Intellectual and Psychological Foundations of Mass Media Functioning» on the third year of the Faculty of Journalism at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. The focus is on the principles, functions, and standards of journalistic creativity during the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. As the Russian genocidal, terrorist, and ecocidal war has posed acute challenges to the education and upbringing of student youth. A young person is called not only to acquire knowledge but to receive them simultaneously with comprehensive national, civic, and moral-spiritual upbringing. Teaching and educating students, the future journalists, on Ukrainian-centric, nation-building principles ensure a sense of unity between current socio-political processes and historical past, and open an intellectual window to Ukraine’s future. The teaching of the course ‘Intellectual-Psychological Foundations of Mass Media Functioning’ (lectures and practical classes, creative written assignments) is grounded in the philosophy of national education and upbringing, aimed at shaping a citizen-patriot and a knight, as only such a citizen is capable of selfless service to their own people, heroic struggle for freedom, and the united Ukrainian national state. The article presents student creative works, the aim of which is to develop historical national memory in students, promote the ideals of spiritual unity and integrity of Ukrainian identity, nurture the life-sustaining values of the Ukrainian language and culture, perpetuate the symbols of statehood, and strengthen the moral dignity and greatness of Ukrainian heroism. A methodology for assessing students’ pedagogical-professional competence and the fairness of teachers who deliver lectures and conduct practical classes has been summarized. The survey questions allow students to express their attitudes towards the content, methods, and forms of the educational process, which involves the application of experience from European and American countries, but the main emphasis is on the application of Ukrainian ethnopedagogy. Its defining ideas are democracy, populism, and patriotism, enriched with a distinct nation-building potential, which instills among students a unique culture of genuine Ukrainian history, the Ukrainian language and literature, national culture, and high journalistic professionalism. Key words: educator, student, journalism, education, patriotism, competence, national consciousness, Russian-Ukrainian war, professionalism.

Single Blastocyst-Stage Embryo Transfer should be Promoted for IVF Cycles Using Donor Sperm (IVFD)
Authors: Li Mingzhao , Xue Xia , Shi Juanzi
Published: March 2024

Background: Twin pregnancies carry significant fetal, perinatal and maternal risks. Thus, it is important to evaluate clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization with donor sperm (IVFD) in the first attempt with double cleavage-stage embryos and explore optimal number of day 3 high-quality embryos for the blastocyst transfer on day 5. Methods: We retrospectively identified all IVFD embryo transfers (IVFD-ETs) for the initial time between 2014 and 2021 at our hospital. We mainly analyzed the twin pregnancy rates for double day 3 embryo transfers and clinical outcomes of day 5 blastocyst transfers by prolonged culture with different numbers of day 3 high-quality embryos. Results: Among 1512 IVFD-ETs, 834 were day 3 embryo transfers and 678 were day 5 blastocyst transfers. Our data indicated that the twin pregnancy rates reached up to 40% in the 674 double cleavage-stage embryo transfers and it was not due to the quality of the transferred embryos. For prolonged culture with 2, 3 and 4 day 3 high-quality embryos, the cycle rates of no high-quality blastocysts obtained were 30.43%, 19.80% and 7.91%, respectively. The clinical pregnancy rates were 56.52%, 74.26% and 72.32%, respectively. The twin pregnancies rates were 7.69%, 14.67% and 6.77%, respectively. Conclusions: Transferring double cleavage-stage embryos had high risks of twin pregnancies in the IVFD-ETs. Blastocyst transfer was safe and recommended for the patients with three or more high-quality embryos on day 3.
Ectopic Pregnancy History as an Independent Factor Associated with Recurring Ectopic Pregnancy in Women with Bilateral Salpingectomies. A Matched-Pair Study of IVF Patients
Authors: Lin Mingmei , Xu Wanxue , Liang Mingyu , Yang Shuo , Li Rong
Published: March 2024

Background: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) is purportedly elevated among individuals with a history of EP (referred to as the EP group) compared to those with no previous ectopic pregnancy (non-EP group). Nevertheless, the question of whether an EP history represents an autonomous risk factor for subsequent ectopic pregnancy of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients remains a subject of debate. Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single center. A total of sixty-seven patients with a prior ectopic pregnancy (EP) who underwent bilateral salpingectomy were included, and they were age-matched with a control group of 201 patients who did not have a history of EP but underwent bilateral salpingectomy during the period from January 2011 to April 2017. In all cases, laparoscopic salpingectomy was performed, followed by subsequent IVF-ET and frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Results: The cumulative clinical pregnancy rates in the EP group and non-EP group were 65.7% and 73.6%, respectively, demonstrating no significant difference. Likewise, the cumulative live birth rates between the two groups were comparable (50.7% in the EP group vs. 63.6% in the non-EP group, p = 0.2). However, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy was significantly higher in the EP group compared to the non-EP group (15.9% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.003). Subsequent regression analyses revealed a significant association between a history of EP and an elevated risk of ectopic pregnancy. Conclusions: Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy even if they have had bilateral salpingectomies are at a significantly higher risk of subsequent ectopic pregnancies, indicating that a prior ectopic pregnancy is an independent risk factor for this condition, even if fallopian tubes have been removed.

Amaç: Bu araştırmada, kronik hastalığı olan bireylerin öz bakım yönetimi ile aile üyelerinin bakım yükü arasındaki ilişkinin belirlemesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı desende yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir devlet hastanesinde yatan, 235 kronik hasta ve onlara bakım veren aile bireyleri oluşturmuştur. Veriler Hastaya Ait Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Barthel İndeksi, Kronik Hastalıklarda Öz Bakım Yönetimi Ölçeği, Bakım Verene Ait Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, ve Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 25.0 ve LISREL 8.7 programları kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği puan ortalaması 31.74±14.95 olarak bulunmuştur. Bakım yükünün hastanın günlük yaşam aktivitesi ile doğrudan negatif ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Öz bakım yönetiminin alt boyutlarından olan öz korumanın bakım yükü ile ilişkisi olmamasına rağmen sosyal korumanın bakım yükü ile pozitif ve doğrudan ilişkisi bulunmaktadır.
Sonuç: Bakım yükü ile ilişkili değişkenler; hastanın günlük yaşam aktivitesi, sosyal koruma düzeyi ve bakım verenin cinsiyetidir. Bakım yükünü azaltmaya yönelik uygulamalar planlanırken, hastanın bağımlılık durumunun ve hastalığa ilişkin öz bakım yönetiminin göz önünde bulundurulması önerilmektedir.
Explicitation and the translation of English adjectival compounds into Romanian.
Authors:   Universitatea din București, Drăgan Ruxandra

While English and other Germanic languages make extensive use of compounding as a means of expanding their lexicons, in Romanian and Romance languages, in general, compounding is merely a minor word formation process. For this reason, the translation of English compounds into Romanian is a challenging endeavour that usually involves the spelling out of syntactic and semantic information otherwise implicit in the original derivatives. Building on these ideas, the present paper explores the translation strategies employed to render deverbal -ed adjectival compounds into Romanian. It is shown that the typological differences between the two languages lead translators to adopt strategies which, to a large extent, entail obligatory explicitation (see Klaudy & Károly 2005, Klaudy 2003, 2009, 2017, Molés-Cases 2019, etc.), though cases of implicitation are not excluded.

Tuning in to Kids: Theoretical basis, Program Description, and Factors Impacting Effectiveness
Authors: Havighurst Sophie , Ambrosi Christina C. , Harley Ann , Kehoe Christiane
Published: March 2024

This paper introduces Tuning in to Kids (TIK), a suite of parenting programs that take an emotion-focused approach to working with parents and carers to improve parent functioning, the parent-child relationship, and children’s emotional, social, and behavioural functioning. A range of theoretical influences have shaped the program including emotion socialisation theory. A proposed theoretical model for the program is outlined that considers ways in which the program might lead to change. TIK program content and delivery methods are outlined. The final section of the paper outlines a socioecological model that explores the layering of factors contributing to program effectiveness, including child, parent, and family factors; the program content; facilitator factors; organisational factors; and finally, the wider social, cultural, and political influences. These factors provide a framework for reflecting on and understanding what can be both enablers and barriers to program effectiveness.

Antibiotic resistance, that occurs globally, has led to a reduction in the efficacy of many contemporary conventional antibiotics. The aim of this study was to characterise an exopolysaccharide, produced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain S16, accession number OQ734845, observed to be effective against, an identified strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, at 0.156 g/L, and against Staphylococcus aureus SO183, at 0.260 g/L. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain S16, was previously isolated from soil, in a mixed animal farm, at Ajibode area, Oyo state, Ibadan, Nigeria, through the pour plate method, before it was identified, through biochemical tests, and molecular studies. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry (MS), of the exopolysaccharide, revealed monosaccharide moieties of glucose, rhamnose, xylose arabinose, D-ribose, galactose, mannose and inositol and each possessed varying peaks. The phenol-sulfuric acid method, quantified the carbohydrate sugars concentration, as 0.0060 g/L. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed a sparsely flaky, exopolysaccharide surface, with globular projections. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), revealed nitrogen (48.00%), carbon (20.10%), phosphorus (12.60%), sodium (8.00%) and oxygen (6.00%), were the predominant elements in the exopolysaccharide, while manganese (0.33%), was the least predominant. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, revealed the presence of carboxyl, imine or oxime, nitro, halo, and anhydride functional groups. The exopolysaccharide, was a modified exopolysaccharide; specifically, a manganese-containing, phosphorylated, nitrogenous, heteropolysaccharide. The manganese, likely conferred on the exopolysaccharide, the potential for a range of biological activities. From available documented research, this is the first time, a manganese-containing exopolysaccharide has been reported.

The increased prevalence of suicide among autistic people highlights the need for validated clinical suicide screening and assessment instruments that are accessible and meet the unique language and communication needs of this population. We describe the preliminary psychometric validation of the Suicide Assessment Kit-Modified Interview (SAK-MI), in a sample of 98 autistic adults (58% women, 34% men, 7% nonbinary; MAGE=41.65, SD=12.96). A four-item negative affect score derived from the SAK-MI demonstrated adequate reliability (ω=.796, BCa 95% CI [.706, .857]), as well as good convergent validity with related measures. Ordinal SAK-MI “categories” (1–5) demonstrated divergent validity (r=-.067–.081) and good convergent validity, strongly correlating with mental health (r=.446–.744) and suicide assessment instruments (r=.576–.696). SAK-MI categories showed strong ability to predict participants identified by clinicians as “above low risk” of future suicide attempt (AUC=.887, posterior Mdn=.889, 95% CrI [.810, .954], PAUC>0.8=.976). SAK-MI classifications > “Category 3” provided an observed sensitivity of .750 (Mdn=.810, [.669, .948], PSe>0.8=.544) and an observed specificity of .895 (Mdn=.899, [.833, .956], PSp>0.8=.995) for “above low risk” status. Our findings indicate that the SAK-MI is a psychometrically strong clinical assessment tool for suicidal behavior that can be validly administered to autistic adults without intellectual disability.
Erring on the Side of Caution: Two Failures to Replicate the Derring Effect

It has been claimed that deliberately making errors while studying, even when the correct answers are provided, can enhance memory for the correct answers, a phenomenon termed the derring effect. Such deliberate erring has been shown to outperform other learning techniques, including copying and underlining, elaborative studying with concept mapping, and synonym generation. To date, however, the derring effect has only been demonstrated by a single group of researchers and in a single population of participants. This paper presents two independent, preregistered replication attempts of the derring effect. In Experiment 1, participants studied 36 term-definition concepts in a within-subjects, laboratory study. On error-correction trials, participants were presented with a term-definition concept and were asked to generate an incorrect definition before correcting it. Error-correction trials were compared to copy trials, where participants simply copied the term-definition concepts and underlined the key concepts. Experiment 2 was an online study in which participants studied trivia facts using a similar protocol. Memory for the studied facts was then tested either immediately (Experiments 1 and 2) or after 2 days (Experiment 1). Unlike the original demonstrations of the derring effect, cued-recall performance did not significantly differ between the error-correction and copy conditions, and the Bayes factors provided moderate support for the null hypothesis in both experiments. We discuss potential explanations for our findings and consider them in relation to key theories and the broader literature on the role of errors in learning.

Mental speed theories of intelligence suggest that people are smarter because they are faster. Weargue that attention control plays an important and fundamental role in mediating the relationshipbetween basic sensory processes and more complex cognitive processes such as fluidintelligence. One of the most successful paradigms for establishing a mental speed theory ofintelligence is the inspection time task. In this paper, we examine the mental speed and theattention control perspectives on the inspection time task and its relationship with fluidintelligence. Integrating experimental and correlational approaches, we find that attention controlexplains the inspection time task’s correlation with fluid intelligence and working memorycapacity. Attention control and inspection time are correlated beyond their relationship withother measures of processing speed. Further, while we find no evidence that selective attentionspecifically is related to inspection time performance, both attention control and inspection timepredicted declines in accuracy as participants sustained their attention over time; other measuresof processing speed did not predict sustained attention performance. Collectively, these resultsindicate that inspection time is related to the ability to control attention, especially the ability tosustain attention over time.

Is conscientiousness a useful construct across cultures? Using the PISA 2012 data, we examined whether perseverance, a measure of conscientiousness, was related to achievement and truancy across 62 countries/regions (N > 470,000). We investigated whether these relationships were linear or curvilinear in nature and assessed the utility of item-level information. After establishing partial metric invariance of the Perseverance measure across various countries/regions and cultural regions, our findings unveiled that perseverance consistently predicted both math achievement and truancy, with predominantly linear associations. Notably, among the five items of the Perseverance scale, the item reflecting one's tendency to give up easily in the face of challenges emerged as the strongest and most consistent predictor of math achievement. Further, country-level correlations between perseverance and both math achievement and truancy displayed contradictory patterns compared to individual-level correlations, suggesting the presence of biasing factors in how people respond to these measures. Nonetheless, it appears reasonable to conclude that measures of conscientiousness are pan-cultural predictors of achievement and truancy.
