Authors: Doger Mehmet Fatih
Published: November 2024

This study was undertaken to investigate the use and motivations behind teachers' engagement in social networks, while exploring their self-presentations and attitudes within these digital communities. The aim was to shed light on the relationship between real-life and digital communities by focusing on teachers as a specific demographic group. To address the research questions, namely the demographic characteristics of teachers using social networks, the reasons behind teachers' usage of social networks, the role of these platforms in shaping teachers' self-perception and professional identity, a mixed-method approach was employed. The findings of the study indicate that social networks provide an ideal platform for individuals to present themselves, and teachers exhibit distinct patterns of behavior compared to other groups. Teachers express themselves more openly and assertively when their identities are anonymous. They actively seek attention to expand their social network, yet refrain from making political posts to avoid jeopardizing their online presence. They strive to portray an idealized image of themselves and make efforts to distinguish themselves from others. Based on the study's conclusions, it is recommended to develop a digital platform that caters to the interests, needs, and inclinations of teachers.

Published: November 2024

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Climate change has had an enormous impact on domestic animal production system. Thermal stress is the most prominent impact of global warming in goat production resulting in a range of physiological, metabolic and production disorders. Negative energy balance due to poor food quality and heat stress cause endocrinal disturbances: increased frequency of LH-waves (anovulatory cycles), increased diameter of dominant follicle (lower concentration of oestradiol)) and increased system or intrafollicular level of insulin–like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Glucocorticoids inhibit the release of gonadotrope hormones, which reduces fertility probably due to ovulation failure and reduced growth and maturation of follicles. A high temperature several days prior to and after mating was found to reduce conception rate, since heat stress may negatively affect oocytes, spermatozoa and embryos. Increased ambient temperature also affects animal health, reproduction and nutrition, resulting in poor reproductive performance, low product quality and quantity, or the possible outbreak of new diseases. The indirect impact of global warming is manifested in the reduced production of fodder used to feed animals due to long-term droughts or floods. In addition to decreased quantity of animal feed, the quality of fodder grown during droughts or floods is also questionable. As a result of feeding with poor quality feed and insufficient quantities, numerous metabolic and endocrine disorders occur that can significantly affect fertility and sexual performance in goats.
Factors Affecting the Adoption of MGNREGA Work in India: Empirical Evidence from Indian States
Authors: Shah Parth
Published: November 2024

Employment implies work for which one has been engaged and is being regularly paid by an employer.1 The Government of India passed the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), in September, 2005. In 2004-05 India had a poor employment rate of about 42% and had extremely high poverty levels hence this act was initiated by the government to solve problems along these lines.2 The Act gave a legal guarantee of a hundred days of wage employment in a financial year to adult members of a rural household who demanded employment and were willing to do unskilled manual work. The Act was to be applicable to areas notified by the Central Government and its objective was to enhance the livelihood security of the people in the rural areas by generating wage employment through works that develop the infrastructure base of that area.3 By guaranteeing 100 days of wage employment annually to rural households that were willing to perform unskilled manual labor, it provided an option to fall back on and reduced unemployment. The scheme not only created employment but also focused on developing infrastructure in rural areas like roads, canals, ponds, irrigational facilities and enhancing the quality of life. It promoted social inclusion by ensuring marginalized groups, including women and disadvantaged communities, had equitable access to work.
A Discourse-historical Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Selfportrayal Media Image Construction
Authors: Huiyuan Guo
Published: November 2024

Culture strategy is an important component of the national strategic system. Entering the new era, Chinese government has been striving to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) worldwide. Adopting the discourse-historical approach, the present study explores Chinese mainstream’s “self-portrayal” of TCM, investigating TCM related discourse from micro-leveled linguistic features, meso-leveled discourse strategies and macro-leveled themes, so as to delineate its media image in detail. After examining 361 reports from People’s Daily and China Daily, the study has found out that: (1) On the macro level, seven prominent topics have emerged. According to their level of exposure they are TCM disease prevention and healthcare services, TCM globalization, TCM administration, TCM scientific research, TCM professionals, TCM culture, and TCM industrialization. (2) On the meso and micro levels, three specific discourse strategies have been employed by the mainstream media with specific linguistic hints: strategy of nomination has been used to portray the diversity of TCM; strategy of predication has been used to assign positive attributions to TCM; and the strategy of perspectivation has played an important role in position media’s stance, which serves to present a holographic picture of TCM enjoying recognition from various respects.

Aggregates play a crucial role in construction works, and this research aims to characterize aggregates from different sources in the Kathmandu Valley, considering factors such as particle size, shape, water absorption, and toughness, resistance to abrasion, crushing value, and impact value. The study investigated identifying and testing aggregates from the sources around and within Kathmandu Valley. A preliminary survey identified nine quarries around Kathmandu Valley based on accessibility to the valley and the highest producers (regarding materials volume). Coarse aggregate samples were collected from Dukuchap (Lalitpur), kaldhunga (Kavre), Bogati Panauti (Kavre), Aagra Khola (Makwanpur) and Melamchi (Sindhupal Chowk. Fine aggregates were collected from Melamchi (Sindhupal Chowk), Belkhu (Dhading), and Sankhu (Kathmandu). Evaluation of physical properties of aggregates included fineness modulus test, water absorption test, crushing value test, Impact value test, silt content test, Flakiness and Elongation test, and abrasion resistance test. Upon meticulous evaluation of the collected samples, it was observed that Fineness Modulus, specific gravity, water absorption, materials finer than 75μm and silt content of the sources were found in between the respective range of (1.97 to3.49), (2.53 to2.62), (1.05 to1.96) % and (1.74 to 5)% and (1.21 to 11.04) respectively. Similarly, specific gravity, water absorption, flakiness index, abrasion value, impact value, and crushing value of coarse aggregates were found in the range of (2.65-2.72), (0.36-1.07)%,(15.03-18.41)%,(15.94-41.52)%,(15.23-34.31)% and(13.55-28.68)% respectively.

Published: November 2024

Objetivo: En este estudio se comparó la respuesta la glucemia y lactato, durante el ejercicio y la recuperación en la carrera y ciclismo en un grupo de triatletas amateurs. Métodos: Durante el año 2019, 59 triatletas amateurs hombres (32,9±4,55 años) de la provincia de Barcelona fueron asignados aleatoriamente a una prueba de esfuerzo en tapiz rodante (n=30) o a una prueba en cicloergómetro (n=29). Se obtuvieron parámetros ventilatorios, glucemia y lactato, antes de la prueba en reposo, al final de la prueba y, a los 5min de recuperación. Resultados: Al finalizar la prueba y durante la recuperación, la glucemia fue mayor en el grupo de tapiz rodante que en el grupo de cicloergómetro (p<0,001). Al finalizar, el lactato fue mayor en cicloergómetro que en tapiz rodante (p=0,039). Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio revelan diferencias metabólicas significativas entre la carrera y el ciclismo durante pruebas de esfuerzo máximo. La glucemia fue notablemente más elevada al finalizar la prueba en tapiz rodante y durante la recuperación, en comparación con el cicloergómetro. Esto sugiere una mayor liberación de glucosa durante la carrera, posiblemente debido al mayor reclutamiento muscular y demanda energética. En contraste, los niveles de lactato fueron superiores tras la prueba en cicloergómetro, lo que podría atribuirse a un esfuerzo más localizado en grupos musculares específicos. Nuestros resultados deberían ser tenidos en cuenta por entrenadores y triatletas a la hora de diseñar sus programas de entrenamiento para promover una mayor eficacia en la preparación física y el rendimiento.

Published: November 2024

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of regular Life Kinetic (LK) exercises on the development of basic motor skills in 3rd grade primary school children (age group 8-9 years). . Randomly selected participants were divided into two groups as experimental group (n= 112) and control group (n= 106). In the pre-test day, object movements (throwing, throwing and catching, bouncing, dribbling) and self-movements (balancing, rolling, rope skipping, moving variably) of all participants were measured with MOBAK-3 test battery. Experimental group performed LK exercises for 12 weeks, while the control group did not participate in these exercises. At the end of 12-weeks programme, on the post-test day, the MOBAK-3 test battery was re-applied to all participants to measure changes in fundamental movements skills and the results were compared with the results of the pre-test day. Significant differences were found between the bouncing scores of the control and experimental group before and after the LK exercises (p<0.05). Additionally statistically significant differences were found between the self-movement scores of the control and experimental groups after the LK exercises (p<0.05). However, there were not statistically significant difference in object and self movement between the control and experimental group according to gender (p>0.05). It was concluded that LK exercises had a positive effect on the total change scores of subject and object movements. This shows that LK exercises may improve children's motor competence and skill tendencies.

This study explores the relationship between light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), depression and physical fitness among Shanghai junior high school students. A nationwide offline survey was conducted in Shanghai between August and December 2023 using a purposive sampling design. A total of 432 questionnaires were administered to six seventh-grade classes and eighth-grade classes from six schools in Shanghai; 416 responses were included in the final analysis. SPSS software version 29, the Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression techniques were employed to analyze the collected data. Higher levels of LPA and MVPA were correlated with lower levels of depression. However, only LPA was a significant positive predictor for depression among Shanghai junior high school students. MVPA did not show significant predictive power for depression. Only MVPA was positively correlated with 50 meters (50M), standing long jump (SLJ), 800/1000 meters (800/1000M), and total physical fitness (TPF), but not for sitting forward bend (FB) and vital capacity (VC); various measures of physical fitness were found highly correlated with each other. MVPA was also a significant positive predictor for 800/1000M, SLJ, 50M and TPF but not for VC and FB. LPA did not show significant predictive power for any physical fitness measures. The findings highlighted the importance of MVPA in enhancing physical fitness outcomes, while LPA primarily impacted depression levels. Various measures of physical fitness were highly interrelated. The results underscored the significance of promoting MVPA to improve physical fitness and reduce depressive symptoms in this population.

eSport is a sport of choice and is quite popular, especially among young people, including women. This virtual sport has been developed entirely with various ways to play. At the same time, there is a negative paradigm of eSport games for women in Indonesia, including damaging vision, causing numbness in the hands, forgetting to eat, being introverted, and using harsh language. From a cultural perspective, women who play eSport are considered to violate the nature of women because they reflect masculine characteristics. This study uses quantitative research with a causal-comparative design to examine the effect of female students' participation in playing eSports on psychological development, communication skills, and the risks of virtual games. The research data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially (Multivariate Analysis of Variance). The analysis results prove a simultaneous influence between eSport participation (duration of playing) and ​​female students' psychological conditions, communication, and virtual game risks. In partial testing, eSport participation only significantly affected the communication skills variable of female students, while the other two variables did not. Future research needs to conduct qualitative investigations to explore the clinical experiences of female gamers that help them train their communication skills. Given the existence of various gender discriminatory behaviours in eSports, female gamers may have good communication to protect themselves from the threat of discrimination, or vice versa.

Authors: Moral Moreno Luis , García Domingo Mª Begoña , Flores Ferro Elizabeth
Published: November 2024

Este estudio, con un enfoque cuantitativo no experimental, examina las barreras percibidas por estudiantes universitarios para realizar actividad física (AF) en el contexto pospandemia, comparando muestras de España (n=180) y Chile (n=161). Los participantes completaron un cuestionario en línea que recolectó datos sociodemográficos, de salud, de AF (IPAQ-SF) y de barreras percibidas para la práctica de AF (BBAQ-21). Las barreras más comunes identificadas fueron la falta de tiempo, de energía y de voluntad. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en el número total de barreras percibidas entre ambas submuestras, pero sí en el tipo de barreras. En los estudiantes españoles, las barreras más prevalentes fueron la falta de voluntad, tiempo y energía, mientras que en los chilenos predominaron la falta de energía, tiempo, recursos y la influencia social. Además, variables personales como el género, el curso académico, la situación laboral, el nivel socioeconómico, estar bajo tratamiento médico, las horas de trabajo remunerado y la restricción de AF durante el confinamiento por COVID-19 influyeron en la percepción de barreras para la AF, aunque de manera diferenciada entre los dos países. Los resultados subrayan la necesidad de desarrollar políticas y estrategias efectivas para promover la AF, adaptadas al contexto de cada universidad y a las particularidades culturales y sociodemográficas de su población estudiantil. Estas políticas deben tener en cuenta las barreras percibidas para fomentar hábitos saludables y mejorar la calidad de vida de los estudiantes en el contexto pospandemia.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to understand the role of money in the perspective of conventional economics and Islamic economics, using qualitative research methods. This research explores the concept of money as a legal medium of exchange and its function in people's lives. In a conventional economic perspective, money is seen as the main medium for carrying out transactions, a store of value, and a tool for measuring the value of goods and services. However, in Islamic economics, the concept of money is not only seen from its function as a medium of exchange, but also from an ethical and moral perspective, where the use of money must be in accordance with sharia principles, including the prohibition of usury and an emphasis on social justice. This research found that the role of money in people's lives is very important, both in conventional and Islamic economics. However, in Islamic economics, money should not be the final goal, but rather a means to achieve just social and economic prosperity. Money must be used to support sustainable economic growth and a more equitable distribution of wealth, in accordance with the values ​​of justice and benefit in Islam. In conclusion, the role of money in the Islamic economy has a broader dimension than just a means of exchange, because it also takes into account moral and social aspects.

Primary data was obtained through questionnaires distributed to 32 MSME respondents in the MMTC Complex in Medan who had received KUR facilities. Data analysis used a simple regression test to determine the relationship between the KUR variable and MSME income. The results showed that KUR had a positive and significant effect on MSME income. This is indicated by the t-count value of 9.951 which is greater than the t-table of 1.66088, and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows that 76% of the variation in MSME income is influenced by KUR, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the study.

Lingkungan hidup dan manusia saling bergantung satu sama lain, dan hak atas lingkungan yang baik dan sehat diatur dalam berbagai undang-undang di Indonesia. Dalam upaya menjaga kelestarian fungsi lingkungan dan mengelola sampah, diperlukan partisipasi aktif dari masyarakat dan pelaku usaha. Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA) berperan penting dalam pengelolaan sampah, namun masih terdapat banyak kendala, terutama dalam mengoptimalkan fungsi Workshop 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) yang seharusnya berperan dalam edukasi masyarakat tentang pemanfaatan sampah daur ulang. Teknologi yang terus berkembang dapat digunakan untuk menyebarluaskan informasi penting mengenai pengolahan dan pemanfaatan sampah. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan membangun sebuah media informasi menggunakan metode FAST (Framework for the Application of System Thinking) yang dapat membantu masyarakat memahami dan menerapkan pemanfaatan sampah daur ulang, sehingga dapat menjaga lingkungan yang bersih dan bebas sampah, serta mendorong kreativitas dalam mengolah sampah menjadi produk bernilai jual.

Introduction. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effects of odours of various nature and strength in experimental conditions on the parameters of the cardiovascular system and the person’s functional state in order to update objective and informative methods for assessing early changes in the body due to the adverse effects of odorous substances.
Material and methods. The specified concentrations of food flavors (orange, cognac and coffee) were supplied to the participants of the study using an ECOMA T08 olfactometer. The composition of the aerosols was controlled by chromatography-mass spectrometry. The physiological parameters of the volunteers were assessed by measuring blood pressure, heart rate and calculating the index of functional changes (IFC).
Results. In an experiment with an odour characterized as “pleasant”, the study participants found a statistically significant decrease in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure when exposed to the maximum noticeable concentrations of volatile substances of the flavor relative to the initial state: p1-3=0,001 and p1-3=0,003, respectively. At the same time, a significant decrease in IFC was determined already at the threshold concentrations of the flavor (p<0,01), indicating a favorable effect of the odour and increasing the level of adaptive capabilities of the body. According to the results of the odour identified as “unpleasant”, a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (p1-2=0,011) was revealed, but only when exposed to a threshold concentration, when the odour has not yet acquired an “intrusive”, “annoying” character.
Limitations. The lack of standardized methods of exposure, the influence of individual preferences and past experience on odour-induced effects.
Conclusion. Indicators of the functional state of the cardiovascular system can be used as one of the criteria for evaluating the body’s reflex response to environmental pollution in areas where odour-producing enterprises, including food production, are located. The issue of conducting such an assessment is particularly relevant for emissions with a predominantly “pleasant” odour, since their ability to cause annoyance and, consequently, to have a negative impact on the health and quality of life of the population is often questioned.
Comparative studies of the toxicity of new synthetic detergents based on anionic and nonionic surface active substance
Authors: Epishina Tatiana M.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Among the complex of environmental factors that are subject to toxicological and hygienic studies, household chemicals deserve great attention due to their mass production, a variety of components and formulations, as well as possible direct effects on the human body.
The purpose of the work is to conduct comparative studies on the study of toxicometric parameters of new synthetic detergents.
Material and methods. In accordance with the planned purpose of the study in the biological testing laboratory of the “Federal Scientific Center of Hygiene named after F.F. Erisman”, experiments were conducted to establish the parameters of acute oral toxicity, to determine the presence of a possible irritant effect on the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes, the single and multiple (10 applications) skin-resorptive effect of the working solution was studied, the sensitizing properties of the compounds were investigated. The research was carried out in accordance with the methodological guidelines: MG 4230–86, MG 2102–79, MG 2196–80, MG 1.1.578–96. At the end of the study, rats were euthanized using CO2 at the AE0904 animal euthanasia unit. The results of the conducted studies were processed by statistically generally accepted methods using the Student’s t-criteria in the Microsoft Excel.
Results. When studying the acute oral toxicity of samples of synthetic detergents, it was found that the average lethal dose LD50 (rats) is > 5000 mg/kg of body weight. When applied once to the skin (rats and rabbits) and to the mucous membranes of the eye (guinea pigs and rabbits), the samples of detergents do not cause irritation, do not have a skin-resorptive (rats) and allergenic effect (guinea pigs).
Limitations related to the analysis of the results of experimental data on toxicometric parameters (determination of LD50, irritant effect on the skin and mucous membrane of the eye, skin-resorptive and allergic effects) without taking into account the carcinogenic effect of new synthetic detergents on the body of warm-blooded (rats).
Conclusions. Comparative studies have not revealed any differences in the toxicometric parameters of the studied synthetic detergents. It was found that in all samples, the average lethal dose LD50 orally is
>5000 mg/kg of body weight; irritant effect on the skin and mucous membranes of the eye – 0 points; clinical signs of intoxication with irritative and resorptive action were not revealed; sensitizing properties of the drugs – 0 points. Synthetic detergents samples according to the studied parameters belong to low-risk compounds.
