Sports participation among individuals with autism spectrum disorder: shifting the focus from symptom relief to performance.
Authors: Tørring Marte Fossflaten , Pedersen Arve Vorland
Published: December 2023

Our scoping review of studies using sports as interventions for individuals with ASD revealed most studies have focused on symptom relief and management of problematic behavior, not sports participation for enjoyment or performance. Few such studies have measured performance, and none have addressed the suitability of particular sports for individuals with ASD. We therefore explored whether some sports are better suited for individuals with ASD, given their symptoms, and for the purpose of performance and competition on equal terms. We hypothesized that, in certain sports, the rules of the sport and their specific demands might be less triggering, and, in some cases, symptoms may even benefit athletes with ASD. This article provides an overview of sports categories and discusses how they are compatible with some of the common symptoms/features of ASD. Variability between and within those categories are exemplified with a selection of sports, to aid athletes, or children with ASD and their parents or therapists, in choosing an appropriate sport
Integrated Information Theory: Pseudoscience or appropriately anomalous science?
Authors: Frankish Keith
Published: December 2023

The integrated information theory of consciousness (IIT) has recently been branded pseudoscience. Its methodology is certainly anomalous, but does that make it pseudoscience or an appropriately anomalous science of an anomalous phenomenon? This article considers the question and argues that the accusation of pseudoscience has merit. At best, IIT is a metaphysical theory mispresented as science.
Wenzel et al. (2023) Let’s talk about this: Co-rumination and dyadic dynamics of moral repair following wrongdoing
Authors: Wenzel Michael , Rossi Cara , Thai Michael , Woodyatt Lydia , Okimoto Tyler , Worthington Everett
Published: December 2023

Interpersonal transgressions threaten victims, offenders, and their relationship, often leading the parties to ruminate about the wrongdoing—not only individually, but also together, in acts of co-rumination. We investigate how two forms of co-rumination—co-reflection and co-brooding—influence, or are influenced by, individual rumination and victim forgiveness or offender self-forgiveness. Our study used a prospective-longitudinal-dyadic design (N = 110 dyads), where relationship couples were recruited prior to an incident and, once a partner reported feeling wronged by the other, completed repeated surveys over four time-points 24-48 hours apart. Cross-lagged panel models indicated that co-rumination was related to increased subsequent individual rumination; forgiveness and self-forgiveness were related to reduced subsequent co-rumination; and self-punitiveness showed positive feedback cycles with co-brooding and offender rumination, whereas genuine self-forgiveness seemed to draw on co-reflection via individual rumination and, in turn, reduced co-reflection. Co-rumination plays an important, yet complex, role within processes of moral repair.
Isaac Asimov’s sci-fi novella “Profession” versus professionalism: Reflections on the (missing) scientific revolutions in the 21th century
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: December 2023

This is a partly provocative essay edited as a humanitarian study in philosophy of science and social philosophy. The starting point is Isaac Asimov’s famous sci-fi novella “Profession” (1957) to be “back” extrapolated to today’s relation between Thomas Kuhn’s “normal science” and “scientific revolutions” (1962). The latter should be accomplished by Asimov’s main personage George Platen’s ilk (called “feeble minded” in the novella) versus the “burned minded” professionals able only to “normal science”. Francis Fukuyama’s “end of history” in post-Hegelian manner is now interpreted to an analogically supposed “end of scientific history” without “scientific revolutions” any more. The relevant dystopia of the prolonged or even “eternal” period of normal science is justified to the contemporary institution of science due to mechanisms such as “peer-review”, “impact-factor rating”, the projects’ competition for funding, etc. Positive feedbacks forcing all scientists needing careers to be more and more orthodox are demonstrated therefore establishing for that dystopia to be the real state of contemporary science. Two counterfactual case studies based correspondingly on Feyerabend’s “Against method” (1975) if Galilei should make his discoveries today and Sokal’s hoax (1996) if he suggested a scientific masterpiece to be really rejected by journals are discussed. Still one case study considering the abundance of Kelvin’s “clouds” on the horizon of today’s physics (dark matter, dark energy, entanglement, quantum gravitation, phenomena refuting the Big Bang, etc.) serves to verify the aforementioned conjecture that science has already entered that dystopia of eternal normal science. The conception of “ontomathematics” implying “creation ex nihilo” being scandalous for the dominating paradigm is sketched as an eventual revolutionary way out. An imaginary and utopic “happy end” reinterpreting the analogical “happy end” of Asimov’s “Profession” finishes the essay “instead of conclusion” relying on the Internet and AI in an increasingly “fluid” and anti-hierarchical society.Keywords: Asimov’s “Profession”, “George Platen”,
Assessing Data Quality in the Age of Digital Social Research: A Systematic Review

Published: December 2023

While survey data has long been the focus of quantitative social science analyses, observational and content data, although long-established, are gaining renewed attention; especially when this type of data is obtained by and for observing digital content and behavior. Today, digital technologies allow social scientists to track “everyday behavior” and to extract opinions from public discussions on online platforms. These new types of digital traces of human behavior, together with computational methods for analyzing them, have opened new avenues for analyzing, understanding, and addressing social science research questions. However, even the most innovative and extensive amounts of data are hollow if they are not of high quality. But what does data quality mean for modern social science data? To investigate this rather abstract question the present study focuses on four objectives. First, we provide researchers with a decision tree to identify appropriate data quality frameworks for a given use case. Second, we determine which data types and quality dimensions are already addressed in the existing frameworks. Third, we identify gaps with respect to different data types and data quality dimensions within the existing frameworks which need to be filled. And fourth, we provide a detailed literature overview for the intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives on data quality. By conducting a systematic literature review based on text mining methods, we identified and reviewed 58 data quality frameworks. In our decision tree, the three categories: data type, the perspective it takes, and its level of granularity help researchers to find appropriate data quality frameworks. We, furthermore, discovered gaps in the available frameworks with respect to visual and especially linked data and point out in our review that even famous frameworks might miss important aspects. The article ends with a critical discussion of the current state of the literature and potential future research avenues.
Crises as claims
Authors: Marino Anna , Ruedin Didier
Published: December 2023

The objective of this article is to clarify the concept of crisis to make it more useful for empirical research in the social sciences and humanities. We present a theoretical frame in which crises are defined as claims. An actor makes a claim that a situation differs from what should be, and that the consequences of this are grave/negative. Crises thus have a normative side, implying that urgent action is needed to ensure that the situation does not get worse. An audience is required for a crisis to arise. We provide examples to show that this approach can be applied to many situations and argue that it allows for a more disciplined study of crises and their effects on social phenomena, bridging objectivist and constructivist approaches. In particular, the theoretical frame is suitable for studying the diffusion of references to crises.

Authors: Adnan Atshan Doaa , Munaf H. Zalzala
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Intrahepatic cholestasis is clinical syndrome which cause either by defect in synthesis or bile acid flow, the pathophysiology of cholestasis is complicated by a number of  variables, including oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and  dysregulation of bile acid transporter . Rats, mice, and guinea pigs were utilized as experimental animals, and ANIT was administered to them in order to create a model that closely resembled intrahepatic cholestasis in human. This study examined the protective effects of papaverine, a non-narcotic opium alkaloid derived from papaver somniferum and discovered as an FXR agonist, on cholestasis in rats induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT). Rats utilized in this study divided  into 3 groups (10 rats per each groups), group I (control) or vehicle group  rat administered corn oil (1ml/kg) once daily 48 hour before sacrifice group II rats orally administered alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) 100mg/kg single dose 48hour before sacrifice  group III rats administered 100mg/kg papaverine orally  for 7 consecutive days and  at day 5  rat administered alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) The results showed that papaverine treatment decreased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), total bilirubin, total bile acid, as well as increased antioxidant enzyme GPX and decreased MDA and inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor TNF- and interleukin IL1-β. In conclusion, papaverine may have a protective effect to alleviate ANIT-induced cholestasis and may be a therapeutic target to treat cholestasis.

Authors: Mustafa Mahmood Mukhlif  , May Mohammed Jawad Al-Mudhafar
Published: December 2023

Till now, isatin derivatives have received a lot of interest in organic and medicinal chemistry due to their significant biological and pharmacological activities. Schiff’s and Mannich bases of isatins are an effective group of heterocyclic derivatives that play a significant role in medicinal chemistry as antimicrobial agents. In light of these facts, new Schiff bases and Mannich bases of isatin were synthesized. The monomer Mannich bases; 3(a-e) have been synthesized by reacting isatin with different secondary amines, piperidine, morpholine, and pyrrolidine, dimethylamine, diphenylamine, separately, and formaldehyde, while the dimer (5) formed by using piperazine and formaldehyde which then react separately with Phenylhydrazine to form new Schiff bases 4(a-e), and dimer Schiff base (6) as final products. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were identified using two spectroscopic methods; (Fourier- transform infrared) FTIR and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H-NMR) analysis. The preliminary in vitro antibacterial and antifungal screening results of new isatin derivatives [4(a-e) and 6] reported moderate to potent antimicrobial activity, the compound 4c exhibited moderate broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities compared to other derivatives. Moreover, compounds 4c and 6 have a good inhibitory effect against B. subtilis while amoxicillin (standard drug) shows no activity. For antifungal activity compounds (4a-c and 4e) have considerable activity towards C. albicans, whereas compound 4d exhibits slight activity and 6 of no activity.
Study the Effect of Formulation Variables on Preparation of Nisoldipine Loaded Nano Bilosomes
Authors: Al-Edhari Ghada Hamid , Al Gawhari Fatima Jalal
Published: December 2023

Nisoldipine (NSD) is a dihydropyridine class of calcium channel blockers used for hypertension treatment, it belongs to class II BCS (low solubility with high permeability), its absolute bioavailability is only 5% due to presystemic metabolism in the gut wall. It is also a substrate for a CYP3A and P-gp.

Bilosomes are lipid bilayer vesicles incorporating bile salts in their walls to prevent degredation by GIT bile salts.

The aim of this study is to prepare nisoldipine bilosomes as vesicular carrier and assess the effect of different formulation variables such as type of surfactant, amount of cholesterol, surfactant and sonication time on particle size, entrapment efficiency and poly dispersity index of the prepared bilosomes.

The prepared bilosomes were prepared by thin film hydration method and they were optimized using different types of non-ionic surfactants span20, 40 and 60 along with different amount of cholesterol and different sonication time.

The prepared formulas have particle size between 138.3 -392.4 nm, polydispersity index 0.12- 0.4 and entrapment efficiency equal to 48-82%.

Results showed that increasing cholesterol amount lead to increase entrapment with increase particle size further increase leads to decrease entrapment with further increase in particle size. While increase amount of surfactant (span 60) give higher entrapment of drug with decrease particle size. Span 60 give the best entrapment efficiency and increasing sonication time is associated with decrease in particle size and entrapment efficiency.
The Perceptions of General Population About Mental Health Services in Baghdad, Iraq: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Zaid Sabti Jumaah  , Ali Azeez Al-Jumaili
Published: December 2023

Background: Access to mental health services remains a challenge in many countries including Iraq, where mental illness is often stigmatized and marginalized. This can lead to negative outcomes such as decreased quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality.

 Objectives:  The present study aimed to explore the perceptions of general population in Iraq towards mental health services and identify the challenges facing patient access to these services. Methods: This qualitative study included face-to-face semi-structured interviews with general population in primary health care centers and private pharmacies in Baghdad between (December 2022 through February 2023). Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring themes and sub-themes. Results: Thirty participants were recruited in this study. The study found that the general population in Iraq have negative perceptions towards mental health services. The repeated themes were "public social stigma," "lack of privacy in public healthcare settings," and "lack of psychotherapy sessions in mental health services." The social stigma" was further divided into sub-themes including stigma from family, friends, or co-workers. Lack of privacy indicated there are too many interruptions in the environment of public healthcare settings. Lack of non-pharmacological therapy in mental health services, was expressed as a feeling that only medication therapy was offered, while psychotherapy was not available. Conclusion: The findings suggest that a cultural awareness is needed to reduce the social stigma associated with mental illness and to increase trust in the public mental health services. The results also highlighted the need for improved privacy and culturally-sensitive mental health services. To improve access to mental health services, it is crucial that healthcare providers, social workers, and society work together to promote and destigmatize mental illness.
The main mechanisms for ensuring national food security
Authors:   Federal Research Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas – All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, Altukhov Anatoly I.
Published: December 2023

When ensuring national food security, it is necessary to proceed from the essence of this economic category in relation to the state, and not to its individual regions. It is the State that should be entrusted with the responsibility for its reliable provision, regardless of the influence of internal and external threats and challenges. Its role in the development of the entire food supply system of the country’s population is especially increasing in modern conditions of increasing sanctions pressure on it and conducting a special military operation in Ukraine. At the same time, the responsibility of the State for mobilizing domestic resources to achieve national interests in the field of food security is also increasing. At the same time, a successful solution to the problem of reliable provision of national food security is possible only on the basis of the paradigm of scientific and technological development of the agricultural sector of the economy, as well as the use of a system of effective mechanisms providing at the same time an optimal combination of market self-regulation and state impact on the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of food products and agricultural raw materials, as well as increasing the predictability of ensuring national food security and achieving its goals. According to different relations of interaction of mechanisms of production, logistics and consumption of food by the population, different models of ensuring national food security are mainly formed. In the conditions of sanctions pressure, it is important to implement the provisions stated in the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation, for which it is necessary to adjust the existing mechanisms for its provision in relation to modern realities. It is necessary to adopt a system of effective organizational and economic measures that contribute to the consolidation of the efforts of government, science and the business community for the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex, increasing the competitiveness of its products in the domestic and foreign agri-food markets.

Published: December 2023

The article reveals the peculiarities of social work with problem families based on the realities of today. The methods of theoretical analysis, description, comparison, systematization and generalization were used to reveal the purpose of the study. The author of the article examines the main aspects of the formation of problem families in society and highlights the legislative framework for social protection of such target groups. It has been established that the provision of social support to troubled families in times of war ensures the optimal implementation and improvement of all social work. It has been found that social work with problem families in today’s conditions involves the development and implementation of motivational measures for such families to lead a healthy lifestyle and solve their own problems (resolving aggression in communication, building relationships in the family, proper childcare, material improvement). It is proved that social work with problem families in today’s conditions, in particular in times of war, is extremely important, because today the percentage of such families is significantly increasing, which is primarily due to the military factor, which creates hopeless situations in such families. The study found that in order to improve the areas of social work with problem families, it is necessary to simplify the process of providing social services, as well as to strengthen the interaction of social protection specialists with charitable organizations, charitable foundations, associations of citizens and representatives of socially responsible companies. The article reveals that an important area of social work with problem families in times of war is social support for such families.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CLIMATE OF THE COLLECTIVE IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR
Authors: Isachenko Viktoriia
Published: December 2023

The article discusses modern approaches to defining the concept of social and psychological climate. It has been established that in the conditions of military tension, the socio-psychological state of a person undergoes a destructive effect on the personality, which can be accompanied by long-term depression, anxiety disorders, the formation of post-traumatic stress syndrome, a decrease in work capacity, and a lack of interest in professional development and growth.The main approaches to defining the concepts of «influence» and «informational social influence» have been analyzed. A theoretical analysis of the concept as a process and result of an individual’s change in the behavior of another person, his attitudes, intentions, ideas, assessments, etc. in the process of interaction with him, was carried out. And the ways of using informational social influence in the context of the constructive and destructive effect of informational social influence on the individual in the conditions of war are analyzed.It has been established that informational influence can be manipulative in nature, which in turn will reflect on the mental, social and psychological well-being of Ukrainians.The mechanism of the influence of information manipulation, which can manifest itself in the form of propaganda, provocation, disinformation, intimidation, is revealed, and the place and role of constructive communication in the process of counteracting manipulative influence is defined. A theoretical analysis of the concept of «isolation» was carried out. It was determined that this is a protective mechanism that removes associative connections when the threat of danger is perceived.It was established that the social isolation of the individual in the collective makes support, empathy, and mutual understanding impossible in critical situations and in situations of uncertainty. And this, in turn, can increase the feeling of constant danger, excessive excitement, panic attacks, problems in relationships, the inability to express and show one’s feelings and experiences. On the basis of theoretical analysis, it was determined that the role of the leader is actualized in the conditions of martial law, because the situation that has developed requires him to be flexible in thinking and speed of decision-making, objectivity of reactions to external challenges in conditions of changeable situations and limited resources.We see the prospects for further research in the diagnosis of the current state of the social and psychological climate in the collectives of educational institutions, and in the search for optimal ways to solve the problem.The role of the team and the leader in the formation of a favorable social and psychological climate is characterized.

Published: December 2023

The problem of children’s mental health is of special interest to scientists in view of its importance for the formation of a future healthy society. This issue becomes especially relevant in emergency situations, such as war, when the number of stressors and their impact is difficult to predict. This article has examined the experience as well as approaches of social services in Ukraine and Sweden in providing support to traumatized children during wartime. There have been outlined three phases in terms of working with traumatized children, i.e. identification, treatment, and prevention. The study has investigated and compared the practices of social workers in contrasted countries within these phases defined. The study presented is a collaborative effort between Sweden and Ukraine, investigating the support provided to war-traumatized children by social services. The research has been based on an inductive approach. The interviews conducted with social workers, psychologists, school counselors, and representatives of relevant organizations are at the core of this paper. The experts’ opinions on the topic mentioned have been reviewed. Moreover, the similarities and differences in providing social support in compared countries have been highlighted. The main factors influencing the approaches to the work of social workers with traumatized children of the compared countries have been determined. The approaches to working with parents in terms of supporting war-traumatized children in contrasted countries have been considered. Various problems related to providing social and psychological support to traumatized children such as resources and the capacity of the social support system have been reviewed. The impact of other factors on the occurrence of psychological trauma in children, which experts emphasized, has been examined. In particular, special attention has been paid to social media’s impact. The role of social workers at the stage of trauma prevention has been also considered, as well as the problems of the social support system that have arisen. The urgency of addressing the mental health of children and the importance of collaboration between authorities to provide effective support and treatment have been mentioned.
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE PHILOLOGISTS BY MEANS OF MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE LIGHT OF SOCIO-CULTURAL AND LINGUODIDACTIC SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES
Authors: Bosa Vita
Published: December 2023

The article substantiates the need to use sociocultural and linguodidactic scientific approaches to the problem of formation of professional competence of future philologists by means of modern information technologies. The analysis of the pedagogical and linguistic aspects of the problem under study made it possible to isolate the leading system characteristics of the professional training of philologists at the university (essence, composition, structure, functions, history of the system) and to clarify the manifestation of the system characteristics of the phenomenon under study in the university environment as a system object. The necessity of introducing the socio-cultural component (at the normative, organizational, technological and methodological level) to the content of modern information technologies as requiring the formation of an appropriate level of socio-cultural knowledge from all subjects of the organization of the educational process in the university implementing the relevant educational programs is emphasized.The use of leading scientific approaches is correlated with the educational environment of HEI; noted that any educational environment is inherently informational and linguistic environment. The specificity, type and level of this information depends on the type and level of HEI, the direction of training, etc. It is noted that modern information technologies allow to create a special information environment of the institution of higher education and the corresponding educational program due to the involvement of modern educational, organizational, technological, didactic, methodological information to all stages and components. The linguodidactic foundations of professional training of future philologists are presented in the light of the Pan-European recommendations on language education, as well as the main problems and factors that make it possible to implement a linguodidactic approach to the formation of professional competence of future philologists.

Under conditions of full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompt social assistance for general public becomes significant, which determines scientific justification of safety-related branch of contemporary social work. The aim of the article is to analyze transformation of social work based on system approach in unison of components (theory, praxis, training of specialists) with regard to actual conditions of modern society, martial law, increased danger for general public. Analysis, synthesis, generalization of scientific facts, comparison and explication of theoretical ideas are used as methods. Emphasis is made on the concept of steady development and quality of life to improve the content component of social work in conjunction with assistance, support and accompaniment of social groups and communities. Special attention is paid to emergencies, in which social work must promptly react and develop social accompaniment technologies. Because in a wide sense social work is seen as a tool for balancing social opportunities for proper human existence, it must perform both traditional tasks of assisting those in need and self-assistance in order to reach a new quality level of social subjects’ interaction through productive pro-social activities. Among the tasks of social work in the field of security: prompt response to a negative event, research of extreme conditions and their leveling in view of the survival and social functioning of the population, identification and maximum overcoming of consequences in the system of assistance and provision of social services, prevention of negative circumstances. Theory and praxis of social work in the field of population security determines the necessity to train specialists, social workers, who will provide effective social support and protection under conditions of contemporary dangers and threats.

Published: December 2023

Consideration of the integrative-axiological approach as a methodological basis and its ascertainment in the logic of project culture formation determines the possibility and expediency of its application in the context of systemic, multi-subject, personal-activity, cultural approaches.The most important condition for the implementation of the integrative and axiological approach is the personal orientation of the pedagogical process, which allows considering the pupil and the teacher as its equal components, and the content of education as a generalized culture intended for the formation of norms, values, interests of the individual, which contribute to its formation. Following this approach, the process of project culture formation is interpreted and implemented as co-creation.Modern trends in the field of education require a rethinking of the main approaches to the organization of the educational process, provide for the transformation of processes related to personality development. This, in turn, determines the necessity active involvement of student youth in project activities. Project activities contribute to the search for optimal ways, systematic and consistent solving of problems, in particular life problems. It is the implementation of projects in both educational and future professional activities that ensures the development of critical thinking, creativity, independence and requires the proper level of project culture formation. Thus, in the context of modern approaches, the design activity of specialists in various fields, and, therefore, the formation of their project cultures.It has been established that the teacher's project culture, as the most important component of a new type of pedagogical professionalism, is the fundamental basis for theoretical modeling, conceptualization, technologization and practical-project activities in the emerging new reality of education.The formation of project culture among students is facilitated by the provision of psychological-pedagogical, organizational-pedagogical and technological conditions in the educational process. Evaluation of the effectiveness of formative work is carried out on the basis of the dynamics of the levels of formation of the studied phenomenon.

Authors: Araújo Alessandra Ramos Macedo , Oliveira Sabrina Batista de , Lenza Camila Silva
Published: December 2023

Osteochondrosarcoma is an osteoid tumor. Its extra-skeletal presentation is rare, accounting for only 1% in domestic animals. It predominantly affects visceral organs, with extremely low occurrence in mammary glands. The diagnosis is complex, relying on the detection of chondroid matrix in histopathological examinations and morphological interpretation. It is an aggressive neoplasm with rapid growth and a high potential for metastasis, resulting in a reserved to unfavorable prognosis. Tumor size is directly linked to the risk of necrosis, ulceration, and metastasis. In this case report, we describe a 12-year-old mixed-breed dog presenting an ulcerated mass in the right inguinal breast and other nodules in the mammary chain. Edema was observed in the right pelvic limb, a regional mastectomy was performed and a sample was sent for histopathological examination, which confirmed osteochondrosarcoma.

Published: December 2023

A dog's diet plays a crucial role in determining its health, quality of life, and life expectancy. Historically, canine nutrition has been dominated by industrially processed dog foods, which are mass-produced and sold globally. However, in the last few decades, there has been a growing trend towards natural feeding, which has been hailed for its nutritional advantages and health benefits. This move towards natural feeding has raised pertinent questions about its effectiveness compared to industrially processed dog foods. Our overall objective, therefore, is to analyze the influence and implications of natural feeding on the health and well-being of dogs. This study poses the following research question: What are the main differences, in terms of health, quality of life, and life expectancy, between dogs that are naturally fed and those that consume industrially processed dog foods? This study consists of a literature review, with the aim of consolidating available knowledge on the topic. The inclusion criteria covered studies published in the last ten years, available in databases such as Google Scholar and Scielo, in Portuguese and free of charge. The search descriptors used were "natural canine feeding", "industrially processed dog food", "canine health", and "canine life expectancy". The reviewed studies indicated that natural feeding could provide superior digestibility, better fecal quality, and potential reduction of food allergies compared to industrially processed dog foods. Moreover, it was observed that naturally fed dogs tend to have better body condition and longer life expectancy. However, it was also evident that adopting natural feeding requires adequate knowledge to ensure that all nutritional needs are met, avoiding deficiencies or excesses that may compromise the animal's health. Natural feeding, when well-balanced and planned, can bring numerous health benefits to dogs. However, it is essential that pet owners seek appropriate guidance to ensure a complete and balanced diet.

Those involved in the heating industry of large-scale facilities have different expectations of them. It is expected that heating systems will be characterized, among other things, by rational investment and operating costs, enable maintenance of internal conditions suitable for workers or related to the technological process. Identification of selected factors influencing the selection of infrared gas heaters for heating the industrial hall is the purpose of the article. The identified factors form a base of criteria for their evaluation using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multi-criteria method. Using an industrial building as an example, a hierarchical model is presented to determine which variant meets the requirements to the highest degree and which decision can be considered optimal. The presented algorithm allows a thorough analysis and evaluation of the factors affecting the selection of infrared gas radiant heaters as a heating solution for industrial halls. In the case of the analyzed hall, the solution with ceramic heaters and standard radiation efficiency proved to be the solution with the highest decision-making index.

The article analyzes modern approaches to the development of media and human potential. It presents a modern European approach to digital tools in the educational process, especially in the professional activities of teachers, supporting new levels of communication and interaction for all participants in the educational process, as well as digital subjects of the educational process aimed at developing competencies.

The study used the theoretical method of historical and pedagogical analysis, generalization, comparison, study of curricula, other documentation and practices of educational activities, and factual generalization, which allowed us to explore the origins of the concept of "media. Foreign experience in domestic practice is determined by the empirical method - observation and analysis.

The results reflect the general state of digital literacy in Ukrainian society, it was determined that the most prepared in this regard are representatives of the age group of students. The categories of media and information and communication competence, structural analysis allowed us to consider the system of competencies based on their basic components.

The article focuses on the importance of teachers and students acquiring the knowledge, skills, and abilities to realize and protect their democratic rights and responsibilities on the Internet. According to researches, media literate students should be able to critically and consciously evaluate media texts, maintain a critical distance from mass culture and resist manipulation.

OBJECTIVE

Intracranial saccular aneurysms are vascular malformations responsible for 80% of nontraumatic brain hemorrhage. Recently, flow diverters have been used as a less invasive therapeutic alternative for surgery. However, they fail to achieve complete occlusion after 6 months in 25% of cases. In this study, the authors built a tool, using machine learning (ML), to predict the aneurysm occlusion outcome 6 months after treatment with flow diverters.

METHODS

A total of 667 aneurysms in 616 patients treated with the Pipeline embolization device at a tertiary referral center between January 2011 and December 2017 were included. To build the predictive tool, two experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, six ML algorithms (support vector machine [SVM], decision tree, random forest [RF], k-nearest neighbor, XGBoost, and CatBoost) were trained using 26 features related to patient risk factors and aneurysm morphological characteristics, and the results were compared with logistic regression (LR) modeling. In the second experiment, the models were trained using the top 10 features extracted by Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) analysis performed on the RF model.

RESULTS

The results showed that the authors’ tool can better predict the occlusion outcome than LR (accuracy of 89% for the SVM model vs 62% for the LR model), even when trained using a subset of the features (83% accuracy). SHAP analysis revealed that age, hypertension, smoking status, branch vessel involvement, aneurysm neck, and larger diameter dimensions were among the most important features contributing to accurate predictions.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, an ML-based tool was developed that successfully predicts outcome in intracranial aneurysms treated with flow diversion, thus helping neurosurgeons to practice a more refined approach and patient-tailored medicine.

Introduction: In invasive cervical specimens or precursors, high-risk human papillomavirus Deoxyribonucleic acid may be detected to identify females at risk of developing cervical cancer. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of human papillomavirus among women undergoing Papanicolaou smear tests in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among women undergoing the Papanicolaou smear test in the Department of Gynaecologic Oncology, Nepal Armed Police Force Hospital, between 1 June 2022 and 15 November 2022. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethical Review Board. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
Results: Among the 199 women, 6 (3.02%) (0.64-5.40, 95% Confidence Interval) had human papillomavirus infection. The mean age of the infected females was 31.17±5.57 years. Human papillomavirus DNA for 16 and 18 were detected in 4 (66.67%) and 2 (33.33%) females, respectively.
Conclusions: The prevalence of human papillomavirus in females was found to be lower than other studies done in similar settings.
Full Recognition for Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in the Philippines: The Case of the Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples in the Bangsamoro and Lessons for Cordillera
Authors: Saliga Romeo
Published: December 2023

Indigenous Peoples constitute between 14 and 17 per cent of the population of the Philippines. In the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, a unique identity is taking shape, known as the Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples. The rights of Indigenous Peoples are guaranteed by the Philippines Constitution and international law. The passage of the Bangsamoro Organic Law provides opportunities for the Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples to assert their rights to ancestral domain, self-governance, cultural preservation, social justice and human rights. However, despite these developments, significant progress on the ground remains vague.
