Authors: Овчарук Анастасия Сергеевна , Судник Светлана Александровна
Published: February 2025

В работе приводятся данные по половому составу, размерам, массе тела и весовому росту особей краба Харриса (Rhithropanopeus harrisii). Применение оригинальной методики морфометрии, созданной для вида R. harrisii, позволило составить базу биометрического паспорта вида из Таманского залива. Оценка особенностей биологии показала доминирование в пробе самцов (в 3,4 раза, ювенильных особей не встречено), что может быть следствием особенностей сбора материала или свидетельствовать о нестабильности условий среды обитания крабов, в том числе недостаточной обеспеченности пищей; длина карапакса особей составила 6,2–15,1 мм, его ширина – 7,7–26,3 мм. Максималь-ные и средние размеры самок оказались меньше в 1,3 и 1,7 раз соответственно. Впервые описаны особенности полового диморфизма вида по размерам частей экзоскелета (карапакса, абдомена, клешней клешненосных и мерусов ходильных ног), у самцов они, как правило, были крупнее на 9–45 % (исключение – ширина четвертого сегмента абдомена у самок была больше на 28 %). Получены новые черты морфологии вида: у особей обоих полов правая клешня оказалась на 7–16 % крупнее левой. Индивидуальная масса тела крабов в целом составила 0,17–3,83 г, при этом у самцов она была больше, чем у самок в среднем на 63 %. Оценена размерно-весовая зависимость: весовой рост и самцов, и самок несколько опережал их линейный рост. Даны рекомендации по измерениям сегментов абдомена крабов при оценке его ширины.

Published: February 2025

Балтийский янтарь является символом Калининградской области и всей России. Использование неликвидных (мелкодисперсных) фракций янтаря в настоящее время не предусмотрено в технологических схемах Калининградского янтарного комбината. В исследовании предполагается применение одного из компонентов янтарных отходов, а именно янтарной кислоты, составляющей порядка 10 % от веса отходов. В годовом выражении ее производство может достигать двух тонн. Наряду с известными свойствами янтарной кислоты как энергетического субстрата, антиоксиданта, вещества, участвующего в профилактике диабета, способствующего формированию радиорезистентности организма, нашедшего применение в лечении бронхолегочных заболеваний, миокардиопротекции, также обнаружена возможность ее трансформации в гамма-аминомасляную кислоту, относящуюся к группе адаптогенов и оказывающую не-фармакологическое действие на организм человека. В соответствии с действую-щими санитарными правилами янтарная кислота может входить в состав напит-ков. В работе представлена схема и рассмотрен механизм возможной трансфор-мации янтарной кислоты в гамма-аминомасляную в цикле Робертса (аминобути-ратном шунте). Разработанную технологическую схему производства сухого про-дукта, обогащенного помимо янтарной кислотой эссенциальными микроэлемен-тами (магнием, кальцием и калием), можно использовать для сокращения транс-портных издержек, а сам напиток – разливать на линиях непосредственно в по-требительскую тару в виде водных растворов, полученных их сухого вещества. Предполагается, что данный игристый напиток также станет атрибутом торжеств и будет использоваться для создания праздничной атмосферы. Исследование ак-туально на фоне растущего интереса к здоровому образу жизни и необходимости снижения негативных последствий, связанных с алкоголизмом, наркозависимо-стью и применением нейролептиков для улучшения общего состояния организма.

Published: February 2025

As a highly globalized sector, fisheries play a pivotal role in ensuring global food security, providing high-quality protein, and promoting socio-economic development. Due to its dependence on marine resources, the fisheries industry chain values close international resource sharing and cooperation that help facilitate sustainable utilization of fisheries resources, promote regional and international economic growth, maintain eco-balance, and address global challenges. This paper leverages 1253 articles from Web of Science (WOS) core collection data and 828 articles from China Knowledge Network (CNKI) journal literature as data sources to analyze the publication volume, author and research institution cooperation network, co-occurrence of Chinese and English keywords, citation clustering, and burst detection in this field from 1991 to 2022. This study finds that although a relatively stable publication growth trend has been observed in fisheries cooperation research, the fragmentation of collaboration networks indicates a lack of strong research partnerships. By conducting an in-depth analysis of the underlying factors and proposing policy recommendations, we aim to promote future international cooperation and research innovation in this field.

Authors: Loan Phan P. , Thanh Phuong Nguyen
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to determine the optimal protein and lipid levels for tire track eel (Mastacembelus favus) fingerlings. Nine test diets comprised three protein levels (40, 45, and 50%) and three lipid levels (6, 9, and 12%). The experiment was conducted in triplicate for 56 days. The initial sizes of fish varied from 3 to 5 g. There were significant interaction effects between protein and lipid levels on final body weight, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. The dietary protein levels affected weight gain and daily weight gain, while the dietary lipid levels affected length gain. The protein-sparing effect of lipids did not occur in the fingerling stage. Daily feed intake was affected by dietary protein levels but not lipid levels. Feed conversion ratios were lower with increased lipid levels; the lowest value was found at the protein level of 45%. The protein efficiency rates of fish were improved with increased dietary protein levels but were reduced with increased dietary lipids. Increasing dietary lipid levels of the fish resulted in higher body lipid deposition. Survival rates were high and were not affected by the experimental diets. The optimal levels of dietary protein and lipid for growth performance and feed utilization of the Mastacembelus favus fingerlings were 40% and 9%, respectively.

Indications for the Use of Vitamin D in Everyday Life Clinical Practice in Individuals with Cerebral Palsy
Authors:   Internal Medicine, Rehabilitation, Social Medicine, D- 97769 Bad Brückenau, Bavaria, Germany, Goischke Hans-Klaus
Published: February 2025

There is currently an increasing demand for chronic inflammation to be recognized as a comorbidity in cerebral palsy (CP). A broad immunomodulatory and
anti- inflammatory strategy in therapy management should be introduced into daily care. Vitamin D status is increasingly recognized as an important aspect,
as the steroid hormone is attributed to a complex physiological function. In summary, by 2024 there will be sufficient pathoimmunological evidence that
children with CP will benefit significantly from daily high- dose vitamin D supplementation throughout their lives. The reduction of chronic inflammation
in the CNS, positive effects on the skeletal and muscular system, prevention and therapeutic support of infections are the target for the active form of vitamin
D, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (calcitriol). In particular, quality of life is increased by improving reduced muscle performance and reducing the potential risk
of falls. Children with PC are prone to hypovitaminosis D and about half of the children had a vitamin D deficiency. If the Endocrine Society empirically
recommends vitamin D supplementation for healthy children and adolescents aged 1 to 18 years to prevent disease , this treatment option should be used
because of cytokine dysregulation in CP with poorer neurological development . Proactive therapy with vitamin D supplementation is equally important
in women who want to have children, primarily to reduce the risk of CP.

Authors:   Neurosurgeon at Hospital da Restauracao, Brazil, Albino Jesuino
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Spondylodiscitis is a global term that includes vertebral osteomyelitis, spondylitis and discitis, representing approximately 3 to 5% of all cases
of osteomyelitis. It occurs in around 0.5 to 2.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants/year, with men being more affected. It has a bimodal peak incidence, the first peak
up to 20 years and the second between 50 and 70 years. Most cases have an indication for non-surgical treatment, so surgery is reserved for specific cases.
Objective: To analyze the epidemiology of the population affected by spondylodiscitis and assess the response to surgical treatment.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in a tertiary center in Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil, investigating spondylodiscitis in all patients with back
pain without a history of trauma or neurological deficit without a diagnosis of degenerative spine disease. The diagnosis of spondylodiscitis was confirmed
in all cases with magnetic resonance imaging. The study period was two years.
Results: During the study period, we diagnosed 31 patients with spondylodiscitis, 58% were male, the mean age was 64.9 years, the main comorbidities
were systemic arterial hypertension, dialysis renal failure and diabetes, previous non-neurological surgeries (Caesarean births, permanent vascular catheter
for dialysis, cardiac surgery on the iac etc.) were identified as a risk factor, 58% of patients have motor weakness and L4-L5 were the most frequent level
affected. Antibiotic therapy was used in accordance with current guidelines.
Conclusion: The clinical profile of our patients was 6 decades of life, male patients with neurological disabilities, clinical management has favorable results.
The enforceability of payment as a requirement to access other food processes: a constitutional analysis
Authors: Castillo Benites Viviane Salli
Published: February 2025

This paper analyzes the enforceability of the payment of alimony as a prerequisite to access other processes related to alimony, from a constitutional perspective. It is examined whether this requirement violates fundamental principles such as access to justice, equality, and due process. Through doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis, we seek to determine the legitimacy of this condition and its compatibility with fundamental rights. This is a basic investigation, where the main findings reveal that the prior payment requirement to access food processes violates the right to access justice and effective jurisdictional protection, according to doctrine and jurisprudence. In addition, it is highlighted that judges must guarantee proportional and fair decisions. Finally, we advocate for a legal system that does not collide with fundamental rights.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to improve the overhaul time efficiency of coating equipment at PT XYZ, which is a crucial part of the steel sheet galvanizing process. Inefficient overhaul processes can lead to significant downtime, affecting the company’s productivity and profitability. The study identifies factors contributing to prolonged overhaul times and provides solutions to enhance time efficiency through the application of the Seven Tools method. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study methodology. Data were collected from the Maintenance Department of PT XYZ from February to May 2024, through interviews with technicians and maintenance managers, as well as historical data on overhaul times and maintenance frequency. Analysis was conducted using cause-and-effect diagrams (fishbone), Pareto charts, and process flow analysis. The results indicate that the frame cleaning process using a burner takes the longest time, specifically 17 hours. The primary causes are insufficient burner operation training for workers and the use of only one burner. Proposed solutions include operator training and the addition of burners to expedite the frame cleaning process simultaneously on both sides. Implementing these solutions successfully reduced the overhaul time from 60 hours to 50 hours, a 17% reduction. This research contributes to improving maintenance process efficiency in the manufacturing industry, offering practical solutions to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
Aligning Graduate Teacher Education with Labour Market Needs: Strategies for Enhancing Employability in Complex and Dynamic Labour Markets.
Authors: Samakao Misheck , Masaiti Gift
Published: February 2025

It has been established that there are complex relationships amongst education, labour supply, demand and employability. The relationship amongst these variables has kindled numerous debate amongst scholars, academicians, economists and scientists. Education itself influences the levels of labour demand and supply. Similarly, the levels of labour supply and demand have strong influence on the overrall levels of employability on the labour markets. There are linkages in between the variables that significantly determine the cause-effect relationships. Understanding the relationships amongst these variables could significantly help in finding the solution to the problem of graduate unemployability on the labour market. This article aimed at exploring what could be done with graduate teacher education in order to increase demand for graduate teachers on the labour market. The study employed mixed methods research which was grounded in pragmatism. Both probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods of data collections were used. The quantitative data was analysed using SPSS while thematic análysis was used to analyse qualitative data. The study results indicated that graduates do not have additional skills for employability on the labour markets. Furthermore, it was also established that the traditional graduate teacher education could be transformed by linking it to the labour markets needs. The introduction of the international language skills, culture, research, innovations and entrepreneurial skills could significantly transform the graduate teacher education thereby making it of a higher quality and consequently translating into increased demand and supply for the enhanced graduate teacher employability on the labour market.

Rwanda, a landlocked country in East Africa, has undergone remarkable transformation in the decades following the 1994 genocide against Tutsi. The investment made in the technology and education system is a means of fostering the development of human capital. Thus, recognizing the role of education in the achievement of human capital development, the country has undertaken significant education reforms and policy initiatives in recent years to improve the quality and accessibility of education across the country. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the extent to which educational policies and reforms contributed to human capital development. Conducted in 30 districts, the study employed a cross-sectional survey research design under an explanatory quantitative research approach to collect data from 310 teacher respondents. The data collected were analyzed using bivariate correlation and regression analyzes. The findings revealed a positive and significant relationship (p<0.05) between current educational policies and reforms on the development of human capital in Rwanda. Additionally, the linear regression model indicated that the implementation of the competency-based curriculum (CBC) (β= 0.207, p < 0.5), designed content in the CBC (β= 0.364, p < 0.05), the infrastructure and resources (β= 0.151, p < 0.05), and the provided teaching and learning materials (β= 0.113, p < 0.05) contributed significantly to human capital development in Rwanda. They contributed 35.6 % (Adjusted, R2 = 0.356, p < .05) of the variance. Recommendations include regular teacher training programs on innovative teaching approaches, ICT integration in teaching and learning, inclusive education, gender-responsive pedagogy, as well as planning activities that involve student engagement directly, such as diverse competitions in their respective subjects, and field visits.

Published: February 2025

This research aims to analyze the influence of conventional learning methods and game-based methods on students' interest in learning in Entrepreneurship subjects (KWU) at SMAN 4 Pasuruan. Interest in learning is a key indicator of successful learning, so an innovative and relevant approach is needed to improve it. In this research, a qualitative approach was used with in-depth interview methods as the main data collection technique. The research respondents involved students from SMAN 4 Pasuruan. Apart from that, this research also utilizes literature from trusted sources regarding the effectiveness of game-based and conventional learning methods. The research results show that conventional methods, which rely heavily on lectures and assignments, are less able to attract students' attention optimally. This is especially seen in material that requires creativity, emotional involvement, and active participation from students. On the other hand, educational game-based learning methods have significant advantages in creating a learning atmosphere that is more interactive, fun and relevant to students' needs. Educational games are proven to be able to connect theoretical concepts with practice through real-world simulations, which directly increase students' interest in learning. This research concludes that combining conventional methods with game-based learning can be an effective solution in increasing students' interest in learning.
