Published: November 2022

In recent years, non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma has attracted wide interest in industrial and biomedical fields due to its many advantages, such as its high efficiency, simple systems, easy operation, non-toxic residue, and low cost. In this project, non-thermal (cold) plasma generated using a voltage source with a precise frequency (microwave up to 2.4GHz) using argon gas. The electrical properties studied to describe the discharges of argon gas plasma jets at different flow rates (Flow= (1, 2, 3, 4) L/min) and with voltages (150 V). The produced plasma jet column will be analyzed using Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) technology to determine plasma parameters such as electron temperature (Te), electron density (ne), plasma frequency (fp), Debye length (λD), and Debye (ND) number of the argon plasma jet. We use the Boltzmann plot to determine the electron temperature (Te) in the plasma, and the electron density (ne) is calculated by Stark broadening. The value of the electron temperature decreases from (0.991-1.273) eV and the electron density rises from (2.173-3.664) x1017 cm-3 with higher gas flow rates, also the Plasma plume length rises from (1.1-3.5) cm with higher gas flow rates, while the plasma jet temperature decreased with higher gas flow rates.

Strategic Risks Hindering Nuclear War Between China and the United States
Authors: Strigunov Konstantin Sergeevich
Published: November 2022

The object of the study is a hypothetical nuclear war between China and the United States. The subject of the study is the strategic risks preventing a nuclear war between China and the United States. The aim of the study is to determine the strategic risks that prevent the initiation of a nuclear war between China and the United States at the stage of making a decision to launch a first nuclear strike. Methods and methodology. The study was carried out within the framework of neorealism. A systematic approach was used as well as the methodology of classical military-political studies. Among the methods used were such general scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction. The method of studying documents and the factorial approach were also used. The article analyzes the strategic risks that prevent the unleashing of a nuclear war between powers with the world's largest economies in the context of intensive globalization.      The author concludes that the strategic risks of nuclear war outweigh the benefits of it especially in the context of intense globalization. The expectation of a nuclear strike and the mechanism for making a decision about it, in the author's opinion, are one of the most important factors in the low probability of actors to resort to nuclear war as a means of resolving contradictions. At the same time the misinterpretation of damage and the difference in understanding the scale of a nuclear strike also hinders a nuclear war. The novelty of this research. The issue of a hypothetical nuclear war between China and the United States is considered for the first time in scenarios of limited and massive nuclear weapons, simultaneously taking into account the factors of intensive globalization; the «fog of war» effect, which plays an extremely important role; the risk of a distorted interpretation by the attacked of the scale of nuclear strikes; different understanding by the attacker and the attacked of what is considered a limited strike and the risk of a disproportionate response; erasing the boundary between limited and massive nuclear strike in the context of intensive globalization and reducing the level of unacceptable damage; third party factors, incl. state or non-state actors capable of provoking a nuclear escalation.
MCC as a Tool of American Influence on Developing Countries
Authors: Yin Qun
Published: November 2022

In February 2022 there were massive demonstrations in Nepal against the $500 million "free" aid agreement between the country and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). The protests subsided, and the Nepalese parliament overwhelmingly approved the agreement. In July 2022, civil unrest broke out in Sri Lanka. A member of parliament shot himself, the prime minister's ancestral home was burned down, the defense ministry was forced to issue a "shoot-to-kill" order against protesters, and the president promised not to sign the MCC. In this article, the author explores the MCC as an instrument of American influence in developing countries, using Sri Lanka and Nepal as examples. Particular attention is given to specific mechanisms of economic pressure on developing countries to achieve political results. This article introduces the MCC organization and, by describing events in Nepal and Sri Lanka, reveals the role that the MCC plays in the process of American intervention in the Third World. The study analyzes statistics that illustrate the economic impact of the U.S. on developing countries. The author draws conclusions about the impact of U.S. activities through the MCC on the regional environment. There are many ways in which the United States intervenes in regional affairs. The MCC is only one of them, but it is particularly significant. Through it, the U.S. establishes privileged conditions for itself in negotiations with developing countries to achieve results that could not be obtained without economic pressure.
The Concept of Individuality and the Hero-artist in C. Bukowski’s Short Stories: Between Modernist and Postmodernist Structure of Feeling
Authors: Markovnenkov Dmitriy Viktorovich
Published: November 2022

The subject of the study are two short stories by the American writer Charles Bukowski «Aftermatch of a lengthy rejection slip» and «Notes on the life of an aged poet». The selection of these stories is due to the fact that the first of them regards to beginning of Bukowski’s creative path, and the second one is connected with the mature period of his creation, which, in turn, allows not only to observe how the authentic style of Bukowski as a creator was forming, but also how an artist is able to capture the spirit of the historical epoch that is relevant to him. Thereby the object of the research is the image of the hero-artist, around which most of Bukowski's literary works are concentrated, including the stories selected for analysis. The purpose of this article is to analyze how the hero-artist in Bukowski’s short stories «Aftermath of a lengthy rejection slip» and «Notes on the life of an aged poet» experiences his historical present reflecting upon his professional status and his creativity. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that these stories were not subjected to scientific analysis in the domestic academic discourse and, therefore, Bukowski's short prose was not considered as a body of texts that has signs of modernist and postmodernist literature. Using comparative, descriptive and sociological methods in the study, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that Bukowski's work covers a specific historical situation in the United States, in which there is a transition from modern to postmodern mindsets, from the industrial mode of production to the postindustrial, which, in fact, Bukowski embodies in the image of his hero-artist and his creative practices vividly.
Features of Nonverbal Means of Communication as a Way to Express Social Status in a Literary Text (on the Example of A.P. Chekhov's Short Story "Thick and Thin")
Authors: Xu Min
Published: November 2022

In his early works, A.P. Chekhov often draws the reader's attention to the forms of behavior of the characters. In a literary text, nonverbal means of communication used to describe communication between actors acquire special significance. The article is devoted to the problem of typology, role and effectiveness of nonverbal linguistic means of communication in the aspect of their use in the author's literary text. The relevance of the research lies in the insufficient knowledge of the place and role of paralinguistic means of communication in the early works of A.P. Chekhov. The subject of the study is the linguistic means of describing nonverbal behavior in a literary text. The object of the study was the ways of expressing nonverbal communication of the characters of the work. In the course of the work, descriptive and analytical research methods were used. The research material was the story of A.P. Chekhov "Thick and Thin" (1883). The practical significance of the work consists in the application of the research results in the courses of the Russian language, communication theory, philological analysis of text, stylistics. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze, based on the classification of nonverbal means of linguistic units existing in linguistics, with the help of which A.P. Chekhov in his early stories describes the nonverbal behavior of the characters, their composition and functions.

Published: November 2022

Floodplains have become increasingly populated areas throughout Malaysia as shown in the case of Beaufort district situated in the state of Sabah at East Malaysia. This area is now exposed to flood hazards due to the rise of new settlements. Nonetheless, the commpunity in the district has managed to survive and thrive with the prevalence of flood hazards. The aim of this study is to identify the risk of loss level faced by affected communities in the area as well as the coping strategies practised during floods. A survey consisting of 241 heads of households in four villages was conducted in Beaufort. The raw data was analysed using the chisquare, mean score and frequency. The study outcomes reveal that there are various risks of loss present in all villages such as the risk of death (RD), the risk of injury (RI), the risk of property loss (RPL) and the risk of loss of home infrastructure (RLSI). However, the assessed risk levels are low, even at a flood height of 2.5 metres. Two cases in Beaufort, Kampung Bingkul and Kampung Malugus prove that the accessibility of disruption risk remains low with the same flood height level. The affected communities have traditionally developed coping strategies for flood hazards such as owning a boat or building houses on stilts and attics. The research outcomes can assist relevant local authorities to improvise policies related to flood management in high-risk floodplain areas.
Screening and Characterization of L-Asparaginase producing endophytic fungi associated with certain medicinal plants of Lamiaceae
Authors: Kathiravan A. , Gnanadoss Joel J.
Published: November 2022

Endophytic fungi residing in the host plants are well known for the production of industrially significant enzymes. This study deals with the isolation of fungal endophytes and the screening of extracellular enzymes from nine different plants of the family Lamiaceae with potent medicinal properties. Overall, 40 endophytic fungi (LCJ401 - LCJ440) were isolated from selected medicinal plants. The isolated endophytic fungi were evaluated for their capability to synthesize industrially important enzymes like amylase, protease, cellulase, laccase and L-Asparaginase in specific solid media. The results indicated that 45%, 37.5%, 35%, 32.5% and 52.5% of isolates could produce amylase, protease, cellulase, laccase and L-Asparaginase enzymes respectively. Based on the primary screening, the L-Asparaginase enzyme was more dominant and therefore the promising L-Asparaginase producing isolates were estimated by the nesselarization method. Of these, LCJ413, LCJ428, LCJ432 and LCJ438 were known to produce a high amount of L-Asparaginase. These isolates were subject to molecular analysis by 18S rRNA sequencing and MEGA software was used to construct a phylogenetic tree. The endophytic fungi identified were LCJ413 (Curvularia sp.), LCJ428 (Arxotrichum sp.), LCJ432 and LCJ438 (Fusarium sp.). Findings here revealed that fungal endophytes of Lamiaceae taxa have high L-Asparaginase-producing potency and can be exploited as a substitute reservoir for anticancer enzyme production.

Nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates impact nearly every aspect of biochemistry, however, the use of such compounds as tools or medicinal leads for nucleotide-dependent enzymes and receptors is hampered due to rapid metabolism. Meanwhile, a successful strategy to address the instability of the monophosphate moiety in oligonucleotide therapeutics has been accomplished by their isosteric replacement with phosphorothioates. On the contrary, no practical methods exist to rapidly and controllably access stereopure di- and triphosphate thioisosteres of both natural and unnatural nucleosides. Here we show how a modular, reagent-based platform can enable the stereocontrolled and scalable synthesis of a library of such molecules. Such thioisosteric replacements can have profound effects on the potency and stability of lead candidates, as evidenced by data demonstrating that ligand-receptor interactions can be dramatically influenced by P-stereochemistry.
Localized Recrystallization of Lithium Metal Anode during Fast Stripping in High-Activity Liquid Electrolytes
Authors: Zhu Shang , Hong Zijian , Ahmad Zeeshan , Viswanathan Venkatasubramanian
Published: November 2022

Lithium metal anode is one of the most promising candidates for 'beyond-lithium-ion' batteries thanks to its high specific capacity and low negative electrochemical potential. However, the electrode-electrolyte interface instability hinders its commercialization as rechargeable batteries. During cycles of charging and discharging, the lithium metal anode is electrochemically plated and stripped along with the morphological evolution, which determines the cycling performance. In this work, with a phase-field model, we computationally characterize the morphological evolution dynamics during the plating and stripping steps at the lithium-metal-electrolyte interface. Our model is valid in a wide range of lithium concentrations in liquid electrolytes by incorporating nonidealities of electrolyte solutions into the interfacial reaction kinetics. Intriguingly, at fast stripping, i.e. high discharging overpotential, we observe an unexpected localized recrystallization phenomenon in high-lithium-ion-concentration valley regions. This recrystallization phenomenon mitigates the overall reaction rate heterogeneity and provides a potential approach to improve morphological stability. Furthermore, we systematically investigate the correlation between the recrystallization phenomenon and lithium-ion activity and draw a simplified phase diagram for the overpotential-dependent recrystallization.

Published: November 2022

During the last decades, pollution with heavy metals (HM) became an important stress factor for plants. However, due to their biochemical plasticity, plants can adjust their metabolism to ensure survival under changing environmental conditions. In the most comprehensive and straightforward way these metabolic shifts can be addressed by the untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approach. However, although this methodology is well-established for cadmium-related responses, comprehensive metabolomics studies of Zn-induced metabolic shifts are still missing. Therefore, here we propose, to the best of our knowledge, the first gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomics study of Zn2+-induced stress responses in amaranth. Thereby, 419 metabolites could be annotated and 144 of them were unambiguously identified. The metabolic shifts were organ-specific and more pronounced in roots. The most of the responsive metabolites were up-regulated and dominated with sugars and, to a lesser extent, TCA-related organic acids (a total of 51 and 41, respectively) that could be attributed to their involvement in osmoregulation, ROS scavenging and complexation of Zn2+ ions. Galactose was the most Zn2+-responsive root sugar that indicated its possible role in Zn2+ ion binding to the root cell walls. A 59-fold increase of gluconate content in roots clearly indicated its involvement in Zn2+ chelation. A high Zn2+–induced up-regulation of salicylic acid in roots and shoots suggested a key role of this hormone in the activation of Zn2+ stress tolerance mechanisms. Thus, our study provides the first insight in the general trends in Zn-induced biochemical rearrangements and main adaptive metabolic shifts in A. caudatus plants.

Autophagy is essential for neuronal development and its deregulation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. NDR1 and NDR2 are highly conserved kinases, implicated in neuronal development, mitochondrial health and autophagy, but how they affect mammalian brain development in vivo is not known. Using single and doubleNdr1/2knockout mouse models, we show that only dual loss ofNdr1/2in neurons causes neurodegeneration. This phenotype was present when NDR kinases were deleted both during embryonic development, as well as in adult mice. Proteomic and phosphoproteomic comparisons betweenNdr1/2knockout and control brains revealed novel kinase substrates and indicated that endocytosis is significantly affected in the absence of NDR1/2. We validated the endocytic protein Raph1/Lpd1, as a novel NDR1/2 substrate, and showed that both NDR1/2 and Raph1 are critical for endocytosis and membrane recycling. In NDR1/2 knockout brains, we observed prominent accumulation of transferrin receptor, p62 and ubiquitinated proteins, indicative of a major impairment of protein homeostasis. Furthermore, the levels of LC3-positive autophagosomes were reduced in knockout neurons, implying that reduced autophagy efficiency mediates p62 accumulation and neurotoxicity. Mechanistically, pronounced mislocalisation of the transmembrane autophagy protein ATG9A at the neuronal periphery, impaired axonal ATG9A trafficking and increased ATG9A surface levels further confirm defects in membrane trafficking, and could underlie the impairment in autophagy. We provide novel insight into the roles of NDR1/2 kinases in maintaining neuronal health.
Moral Vagueness and Epistemicism
Authors: Hawthorne John
Published: November 2022

Epistemicism is one of the main approaches to the phenomenon of vagueness. But how does it fare in its treatment of moral vagueness?  This paper has two goals. First, I shall explain why various recent arguments against an epistemicist approach to moral vagueness are unsuccessful. Second, I shall explain how, in my view, reflection on the Sorites can inform normative ethics in powerful and interesting ways.  In this connection, I shall be putting the epistemicist treatment to work, engaging with a family of somewhat neglected issues concerning continuity that lie at the interface of metaphysics and ethics.
Stability of the Just Society

Published: November 2022

Political theorists have invested significant effort in studying the attributes of desirable social-moral states of affairs. Schaefer (forthcoming) aims to show that “static political theory” of this kind rests on shaky foundations. His argument revolves around an application of an abstruse mathematical theorem — Kakutani’s fixed point theorem — to the social-moral domain. We show that Schaefer has misunderstood the implications of this theorem for political theory. Theorists who wish to study the attributes of social-moral states of affairs should carry on, secure in the knowledge that Kakutani’s theorem poses no threat to this enterprise.

Published: November 2022

Action research is a crucial authentic training tool in teacher education programmes. The visual arts in early childhood education (ECE) are important to release children’s creativity and help their engagement skills. This case study examines the experiences of two preservice teachers in the UAE who completed action research projects during their final year of teacher training. Their participants consisted of four groups of children aged between four to six years. The preservice teachers were required to conduct interviews, do classroom observations, and do journalling, while their progress was monitored by a supervising instructor. The NVivo 12 software was used in the analysis of final reflections and interview responses. Three main themes and several important observations emerged from the experiment. The findings suggest that preservice teachers value action research as an authentic practical field research experience. Action research can positively impact literacy teaching using visual arts and 21st-century skills in early childhood despite challenges such as limited space and resources. These should be addressed to enhance implementation.

Published: November 2022

The high number of internet users and the development of social media such as Instagram and Tiktok currently one of the factors in the developmeny of high consumption of fast fashion products that are slowly changing people’s lifestyle. Consumers make undirected purchases which result in increased hedonic motivation and shopping orientation. This study to examine whether social media affects impulse buying behavior through hedonic shopping motivation and shopping orientation in purchasing fast fashion products. This study uses descriptive and verification quantitative research methods using structural equation model (SEM) analysis which is processed using SmartPLS on 239 respondents of generation Y and Z in West Java. The result showed that (1) social media have a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying behavior, (2) social media have a positive and significant effect on hedonic shopping motivation, (3) social media have a positive and significant effect on shopping orientation, (4) hedonic shopping orientation have a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying behavior, (5) shopping orientation have a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying behavior, (6) positive and significant hedonic shopping motivation and shopping orientation able to mediate the effect between social media on impulsive buying behavior. This study shows that social media usage can influence impulse buying behavior, especially in buying fast fashion products. Hedonic shopping motivation and shopping orientation can be influenced by social media and affect impulsive buying behavior so that requires attention for producers in selling which products will be sold or not. On other hand, consumers also need to pay attention to products that they are going to buy so that their purchasing patterns are more focused.
Recommendation for changes to the guidelines of trauma patients with potential spinal injury within a regional UK ambulance trust
Authors: Cowley Alan , Nelson Magnus , Hall Claire , Goodwin Simon , Kumar Dhushyanthan Surendra , Moore Fionna
Published: November 2022

Background: Spinal assessment and immobilisation has been a topic of debate for many years where, despite an emerging evidence base and the delivery of new guidance overseas, little has changed within UK pre-hospital practice. Since 2018, South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS
Foundation Trust has spent time working with local trauma networks and expertise from within the region and international colleagues to develop a set of C-spine assessment and immobilisation guidelines that reflect the current best available international evidence and significant changes in
international pre-hospital practice from settings such as Scandinavia and Australasia.Methods: A specialist group was commissioned to review the topic of pre-hospital spinal immobilisation and explore potential for evidence-based improvement. In conjunction with local trauma networks,
subject matter experts and a thorough review of recent literature, a series of recommendations were made in order to improve spinal care within the authoring trust.Results: Seven recommendations were made, and an updated set of guidelines produced. These included the removal of
semi-rigid collars from pre-hospital spinal immobilisation; the creation of two tiers of patients to ensure that the high-risk and low-risk populations are considered separately and an accompanying decision tool to safeguard both cohorts; an increased emphasis on the risk of spinal injury
in the frail and older patient; an emphasis on spinal motion restriction rather than rigid immobilisation; an increased emphasis on self-extrication; and the use of a marker for emergency departments.Summary: An updated set of guidance has been produced using a combination of specialist
and expert opinion alongside a literature review with close involvement of key stakeholders, both public and professional. The new guidance helps to ensure a patient-centred approach where each person is considered an individual with their risk of injury and management measures tailored to
their specific needs.

18. yüzyıl Avrupa burjuvazisinin, bir tarafta İngiltere’de Avam Kamarası vasıtasıyla iktidardan pay aldığı, öbür tarafta başta Fransa gelmek üzere diğer ülkelerinde ise Ancien Régime (Eski Rejim) diye isimlendirilen geleneksel düzeni
değiştirmek veya en azından yeniden düzenlemeyi hedeflediği bir yüzyıldır. Yeni bilimin yükselişinin yanı sıra Batı Hristiyanlığında Protestanlığın yükselişi de Aydınlanmanın ortaya çıkmasında etkili olmuştur. Batı düşünce ve siyasal
geçmişinde Aydınlanma ve din arasındaki ilişkinin niteliği meselesi sosyal bilimler alanında önemli bir tartışma konusudur. Aydınlanma veya daha genel bir ifadeyle modernite, din muhalifi bir siyaset ve felsefe olarak görülmüştür.
Aydınlanma 17. asır Avrupa düşüncesinde insanın din ve gelenekleri terk ederek kendi aklı vasıtasıyla hayatı idrak ve yorumlama gayretini işaret eden bir kavram şeklinde doğmuştur. Aydınlanmanın din-karşıtı olduğu şeklindeki görüşler
büyük ölçüde Fransız deneyiminden çıkarılmıştır ve bahse konu yaklaşım Aydınlanmayı yekpare bir hareket şeklinde görür. Ancak 18. asırda İngiltere, İskoçya, Almanya, İsviçre, Avusturya ve İtalya’da temel olarak görülen Hristiyan
Aydınlanmasıdır. Başta Kant gelmek üzere, tüm Aydınlanma filozofları, gerçek aydınlanmanın, bireysel, sosyal ve politik yaşamın problemlerine, vahye ve imanın sınırlarına başvurmadan, aklı ve felsefi yöntemlere müracaat ederek
çözüm bulmakla söz konusu olabileceğini, bu şekilde mistisizmin karanlığı ve dogmatizmin yanlış ve koyu ışığının aksine, aklın ışığına yönelinebileceğini dile getirir. Böylece önceki herhangi bir devrin aydınlarından daha fazla,
Aydınlanmacılar, aklın evreni kavrayabileceği ve evrenin insan ihtiyaçlarına boyun eğeceği düşüncesine sıkı bir şekilde yöneldiler. Aydınlanma, bir düşünceler yumağı olarak nitelendirilebilir; hatta söz konusu yumakta ipler birbirine
dolanmıştır ve karmakarışıktır. Filozoflar, ele aldıkları çeşitli meseleler açısından hem kendi aralarında hem bazen kendi içlerinde karşıtlıklar ortaya koyarak çelişkili fikirler sergilemiştir.

Afrika ile Türkiye arasındaki ilişkiler, 1998 yılında dönemin merhum Dışişleri Bakanı İsmail Cem'in ilk ziyareti ile başlamıştır. Ancak, Ak Partinin iktidara geldiği 2003 yılından sonra Türkiye'nin Afrika'ya yönelik eğitim, spor, ticari
ve sosyal diplomasisi daha olumlu ve verimli şekilde gelişti. Siyasi olarak Senegal ve Türkiye, komşu ülkeleri arasında demokratik modelleri ile karşımıza çıkmaktadırlar. Bu birlik noktası, Türkiye ile Senegal’in ekonomik ve siyasi
olarak kurmak istedikleri ilişkilerde önemli bir faktör olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Türkiye ile Senegal, 2022 yılında belirli alanlarda (medya ve telekomünikasyon, güvenlik, denizcilik işbirliği ve spor) beş yeni ikili ortaklığın[1]
imzalanmasıyla ilişkilerini güçlendirme kararı almışlardır. Türkiye'de daha çok ileri teknoloji, Senegal'de ise; ekonomik kaynak ve insan gücünün bulunduğunu belirtmek gerekir. Güven ve karşılıklı anlayış çerçevesinde uyumlu işbirliği
önlemlerinin alınması, Türkiye ile Senegal arasında çok taraflı ilişkilerin gelişmesine yol açacaktır.

Businesses function within the confines of a systemic approach while operating in an environment that is always changing. Individuals and society as a whole have ever-evolving desires and anticipations, which must be accommodated by
businesses operating in the dynamic environment in which they are positioned. Businesses, one of the primary purposes of which is to produce goods and services to meet the demands and needs of consumers, are obligated to fulfill
people's expectations by making the most of the resources they already possess in a way that is both effective and efficient, and they must also remain aware of the happenings in the world around them. Because of this, in order
for businesses to thrive in a dynamic environment that is constantly shifting and becoming more globalized and to achieve long-term profitability, organizations need to make strategic decisions, put those decisions into action
by adopting a strategic approach, and operate in a manner that is both efficient and effective in the context of organizational performance. This obligation, which must be fulfilled by enterprises, has an impact on the organizational
performance, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of the process of strategic management. Because one of the management techniques that has a substantial impact on the performance of companies is the perspective in strategic
management, and this practice is one of the reasons why. Practices of strategic management are what determine whether or not an organization will be successful, whether or not it will survive in the long run, and whether or not
it will have a competitive advantage. In light of this backdrop, the purpose of the research is to investigate the effect of the strategic management process in businesses on the efficiency and effectiveness of organizational performance
in the context of the relevant literature. It is hoped that the study collection will make a contribution to the field of business management by casting light on fresh studies that will be made in the field as well as applications

Workplace ostracism is defined as individuals being excluded or ignored by other employees. Organizational commitment, on the other hand, is the individual's identification with the organization and intra-organizational activities
and their sincere commitment to them and therefore willingness to make a superior effort. The main purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between workplace ostracism and organizational commitment and to reveal how
employees' perceptions of workplace ostracism have an effect on their organizational commitment. For this purpose, a survey-based research was conducted with the total participation in Trabzon University. Within the scope of this
study, a survey-based field study was conducted on 148 academicians. As a result of this research, it was determined that the perception of workplace exclusion had negative effects on affective commitment, continuance commitment
and normative commitment, which represent organizational commitment.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology has determined the possibility of in vivo study of morphostructural and morphometric changes in the central zone of the retina, including epiretinal proliferation. Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) allows assessing changes in the vitreoretinal interface and chorioretinal complex "at different depths", the use of this method for lamellar macular holes (LMR) can be used not only for diagnosis, but also for assessing changes and the extent of the process. Purpose. To determine the possibilities of SLO in diagnosing and assessing the prevalence of epiretinal proliferation in lamellar macular holes in comparison with OCT data. Material and methods. In a study conducted on the basis of S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution, Saint Petersburg branch, 48 patients with an established diagnosis of LMR were included, while epiretinal proliferation was diagnosed in 27 (52.6%) patients by OCT. SLO was performed in 21 patients with epiretinal proliferation diagnosed by OCT. Results. The best visualization of epiretinal proliferation was achieved by processing the image with a decrease in the intensity of red and an increase in blue and green. With epiretinal proliferation, there was a lower maximum correctable visual acuity and pronounced structural changes in the retina: a foveolar tubercle in 6 (12.5%) patients, a violation of the ellipsoidal zone in 10 (20.8%) of 48 patients, while its length was 110.26±19.85 µm. An inverse correlation was established between the values of the epiretinal proliferation area and the index of the minimum retinal thickness (R=-0.7, P=0.005), which indirectly confirms the gradual loss of retinal tissue during LMR due to the development of epiretinal proliferation. Conclusion. The performance of SLO allows visualization of epiretinal proliferation and determination of its area, which can be useful both in the dynamic observation of LMR and in planning surgical treatment for this pathology.
