Published: October 2023

Language and numeracy literacy are the basic skills required for students to analyze reading or numbers in different contexts. Literacy and numeracy skills must be mastered and possessed in order to increase competitiveness and improve the quality of human resources. However, what happens is the low reading ability of Indonesian school children known from the results of the PISA test. In 2018, Indonesia ranked 70th out of 78 countries. Students' difficulties in critical thinking are known due to the lack of students who can solve Higher Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions and teachers who have not been able to create HOTS-based questions. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Culture decided to implement competency assessment for all schools. The purpose of this study is to provide insight into the concept of Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA) to improve reading, writing and arithmetic skills in primary schools. The research method used is literature research. Based on the review of the literature approach, it was found that AKM focuses more on the ability to reason using language or literacy and using mathematical logic or numeracy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy and anti-aging Practice and Protocols
Authors: Slater Gordon L
Published: October 2023

In the quest for effective anti-aging solutions, this paper explores the potential of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a promising, noninvasive approach. HBOT involves exposure to high-pressure oxygen environments and has demonstrated notable effects, including the reduction of senescent cells, promotion of angiogenesis, and improvement in tissue health. Emerging protocols featuring intermittent exposure to hyperbaric conditions have shown promise in increasing length of the telomere, enhancing cognitive function, and rejuvenating various physiological aspects. Despite promising preclinical results, the lack of substantial clinical trial data remains a gap, and concerns about potential adverse effects persist. Standardized protocols, guidelines, and biomarkers are crucial for optimizing the potential benefits of HBOT in anti-aging strategies. Further research is imperative to ascertain ideal treatment parameters and safety profiles, particularly for individuals seeking healthy aging outcomes.
Antibiotic use in Barcelona in 2023 in primary care and the potential reduction by adjusting box sizes to current guidelines
Authors: Llor Carl , Rodríguez-Bernuz Cristina , Troncoso-Mariño Amelia
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Prior research has not examined the size of antibiotic packages prescribed. We assessed 2023 prescription rates in Barcelona and the most prescribed presentations in pharmacies, while evaluating potential reductions if all amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate containers had 20 doses. Methods. Antibiotics prescribed by primary care doctors working for the Catalonian Health Institute in Barcelona in 2023 were analysed by calculating the defined daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants and day (DID). Results. The observed prescribing rate was 8 DID, with penicillins accounting for 4.6 DID (57.2%). The most frequently prescribed antibiotics were amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate, making up 4.4 DID. If all the 30-dose presentations of amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate had been 20-dose containers, the total number of DIDs would have been 3.3, resulting in a reduction of 1.1 DID (25.4% less). Conclusions. Antibiotic prescribing rate in Barcelona was low. Aligning the dosage of antibiotics with established guidelines could further reduce antibiotic consumption.

Published: October 2023

The Ghana Education Service has employed two categories of chemistry teachers who are expected to deliver in line with a set standard of teaching and assessment. The study investigated professionally trained chemistry teachers and untrained chemistry teachers using Shulman’s PCK model. The study investigated their knowledge of teaching and assessment. A multi-case study design was used to investigate multiple knowledge domains of chemistry teachers in senior high schools within the Tamale Metropolis in the Northern Region. One hundred fifty chemistry students and 12 chemistry teachers were selected through a random sampling technique, and in one of the schools, a convenient sampling technique was utilised. The study employed questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observation to solicit data from the participants. The quantitative data gathered was analysed by employing descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. The qualitative data was analysed by developing common themes and patterns in the respondents’ responses. Comparatively, the findings revealed that the professionally trained chemistry teachers exhibited higher knowledge of teaching and assessment in chemistry than the untrained chemistry teachers. Case-by-case analysis and comparison of the findings indicated that some untrained chemistry teachers exhibited higher knowledge in teaching and assessment than some of the professionally trained chemistry teachers. It was therefore recommended that colleges of education and universities that train teachers should concentrate on the pedagogical development of chemistry teacher trainees. Content knowledge alone would not ensure professional teaching of chemistry. Ghana Education Service, in collaboration with other governmental and non-governmental agencies, should periodically organise workshops and seminars for in-service chemistry teachers’ professional development to be trained in modern pedagogical trends. In-service chemistry teachers should be given opportunities for further studies to learn and discover emerging methods and strategies for teaching chemistry

Authors: Mwirigi Patrick Mwenja , Kaudo Basil Okoth , Kibet Cyrus Kipruto
Published: October 2023

Tree nursery establishment is a major component in the realisation of the global efforts to climate change adaptation and mitigation. The desire to plant trees is a function deeply influenced by preferences in both social and ecological aspects. This paper was aimed at evaluating the community’s tree species offtake preference in Turkana and identifying the optimal seedlings offtake season for planting in the drylands. In this study, data collection involved the meticulous acquisition of information directly from the nursery tree seedlings’ offtake records. The process involved systematic retrieval of the quantities of tree species sold over a three-year period from January 2020 to December 2022. A comprehensive dataset of 590 samples was assembled, enabling a detailed analysis of tree species preferences and their economic implications within the dryland context. The data was fed into SPSS version 27 for analysis. Seasonality indices were calculated, and descriptive statistics were conducted. Excel version 2016 was used to construct pivot tables, line charts and bar graphs. The results showed that Azadirachta indica (neem tree) stands out with a 40.1% preference rate among the top ten species, attributed to its multifaceted benefits. Conversely, Terminalia mantaly (umbrella tree) holds a more modest 2.69% preference. Exotic species dominate the top ten preferred list at 71.44%, while indigenous species make up 28.56%. The seasonality index conducted indicated April, September, October, and November having the highest indices, suggesting a propensity for heightened demand and increased seedlings offtake from the Turkana KEFRI nursery. The study’s recommendations emphasise the need to initiate seedling production activities well in advance to align with the optimal seedling demand season, thus enhancing the overall effectiveness of tree planting efforts
Neutrosophic Assessment and Decision Making
Authors: Voskoglou Michael Gr.
Published: October 2023

Smarandache’s theory of neutrosophy is a generalization of Zadeh’s fuzziness characterizing each element of the universal set with the membership degree, as in fuzzy sets, and in addition with the degrees of non-membership and indeterminacy with respect to the corresponding neutrosophic set. In the present work we use neutrosophic sets as tools for assessment and decision making. This turns out to be very useful when one is not sure about the correctness of the grades assigned to the elements of the universal set. Examples are also presented illustrating our results.

Authors: Chelombitko M. A. , Morgunova G. V. , Strochkova N. Y. , Lyamzaev K. G.
Published: October 2023

Background. The field of gerontology is actively seeking senolytics and senomorphs that can influence the quantity and activity of senescent cells in the body. Previous studies have demonstrated the geroprotective properties of mitochondrial- directed compounds based on plastoquinone and berberine in various in vitro and in vivo models. Thus, it is plausible that SkQBerb, a mitochondrialtargeted compound combining berberine and plastoquinone, may exhibit higher geroprotective potential compared to previously studied compounds.Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate the geroprotective activity of SkQBerb in a chronological aging model using MB135 myoblasts.Materials and Methods. The effect of SkQBerb on various aging characteristics of human MB135 myoblasts was assessed. Histochemical staining for β-galactosidase was performed using a commercially available kit. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 were determined using pre-made immunoassay kits. Additionally, Western blotting was employed to evaluate the levels of p21, pRb (Ser807/811), and LC3B proteins.Results. Analysis of the results revealed that SkQBerb, at concentrations ranging from 20–100 nM, effectively suppressed the accumulation of senescent cells in MB135 cells subjected to chronological aging. Furthermore, it significantly reduced the levels of IL-6 and IL-8, key factors associated with the secretory phenotype.Conclusion. The findings of this study suggest a potential geroprotective and senomorphic effect of SkQBerb. These results open up possibilities for utilizing this mitochondrial-targeted compound as a geroprotector in future applications.
Economic burden of some age-related diseases
Authors: Arbatskiy M. S.
Published: October 2023

Background. One of the main concerns posed by implementing new biomedical technologies is the lack of a pharmacoeconomic justification for the economic effect or the burden of certain nosologies on the state budget. To date, the medical literature on age-related diseases focuses on diagnosis, pathogenesis, new methods of treatment and the results of prescribed treatment. However, assessing the economic burden of these diseases is equally important. Only for selected diseases, regular publications on the calculation of the economic effect and economic burden of diseases can be found. For less common diseases, there are single publications, the information from which is no longer relevant and requires regular updating and maintenance.Aim. To conduct an indicative assessment of the economic burden for the most common age-related diseases.Materials and methods. When preparing the publication, foreign and domestic sources containing economic information about the most common age-associated diseases were used.Annual reports of biopharmaceutical companies producing drugs for the treatment of age-related diseases were used to obtain an understanding of current developments in the treatment of these diseases. Additionally, data from Rosreestr (Russian Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography) were used for certain diseases.Results. According to the analyzed information, it has been found that age-related diseases are a significant economic burden for the healthcare system of the state. However, not all specialized medical organizations assess the economic burden associated with such diseases.Conclusion. As a result of analyzing the economic burden of the most common age-related diseases, the conclusion can be drawn that regular assessment of the economic burden for Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis is necessary

Published: October 2023

In the modern study of evolutionary and taxonomic relationships of fish, the mitochondrial genome is used because of its small size and high mutation rate compared to the nuclear genome. mtDNA research helps to identify geographical and genetic patterns, as well as the origin of species, breeds and varieties. In this work, the genetic diversity of the herd of the northern type Sarboyan carp was studied using the COX1 fragment of mitochondrial DNA, and phylogenetic relationships between modern breeds, subspecies and species of the genus Cyprinus were analyzed. The analyzed haplotypes of Sarboyan carp bred in the Moshkovsky district on the farm of ECO-PARK LLC revealed relatively low indicators of genetic polymorphism. Phylogenetic analysis conducted on the basis of its own haplotypes and haplotypes taken from the NCBI international database suggests that the Sarboyan carp is a deeply hybrid grouping, which confirms the known data on the origin of this breed. The study of the median haplotype network showed that the haplotypes of carp and wild carp form related haplogroups through one common haplotype. The Sarboyan carp is represented by three haplotypes, 75% of which belong to the star-shaped structure (H1), and the remaining 25% are represented by various breeds of carp and carp from both Eurasia and North America.
The results of breeding the seaside scallop in a bottom aviary combining bottom and suspended methods of cultivation
Authors: Brovkina Elena , Kostina Elena
Published: October 2023

The cultivation of bivalves is currently one of the most promising areas of mariculture worldwide. The article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of traditional methods of cultivating scallop seaside, where the suspended method is considered more promising than the bottom. The specific productivity of cage cultivation is calculated, in which a little more than 10 ha (2.5-3.0 t/ha) is required to obtain 25-30 tons of marketable products. With the bottom method, 4-6 sites of 1 ha (2.5-5.0 t/ha) will be needed for growing 10-30 tons. The latter value even exceeds the indicators of cage cultivation, although it has always been considered as more reliable and productive. In order to minimize or avoid some of the disadvantages of traditional breeding methods, a new method of growing scallops was applied at the mariculture site in Kozmina Bay: in an aviary. The essence of the method is that before the release of the yearlings, the site is fenced with a fence from Delhi, which protects the mollusks from many predators and prevents the scallops from moving outside the site.

Published: October 2023

OBJECTIVES
To find the level of compliance and the associated factors of compliance with standard precautions among registered nurses.
METHODOLOGY
Cross-sectional study was conducted during March and August 2020 in four hospitals, two from each country; Pakistan and China. Data was gathered through a modified version of the adopted questionnaire from 424 registered nurses, selected by a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 26.
RESULTSThe overall compliance with SPs among registered nurses in Pakistan was 57.1%, and among the respondents from China was 75.2%. Gender, age and working area were associated with the compliance of SPs. Female nurses from China are 1.72 times less compliant, while the increasing age of Pakistani nurses increases the risk for non-compliance with SPs by 1.7 times. Participants working in Emergency Department in Pakistan were 2.07 times less compliant than those working in Intensive Care Unit/Coronary Care Unit (ICU/CCU). Lack of training increases the risk of being 2.9 times more non-compliant. For Chinese Nurses, less knowledge and a lack of resources were associated with non-compliance in both countries nurses.
CONCLUSION
Noteworthy numbers of nurses were found non-compliant with standard precaution practices in both study populations. Therefore, strategies like regular training on standard precautions, availability of Personal Protective Equipment and policymaking may improve compliance with SPs practice.

Objective

The study aimed to determine the frequency of nosocomial transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2) in a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Methodology

This cross sectional, analytical study was carried out in Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan from 1st June 2021 to 31st August 2021. Consecutive patients aged 18 years and above admitted for conditions other than COVID-19 with a negative rapid antigen test for COVID-19 at admission were included. Patients with respiratory symptoms or those who were hospitalized for any reason in the preceding six weeks in any health care facility were excluded. The study protocol was completed by 90.9% of participants. The rapid antigen test was repeated for participants at the time of discharge or symptoms suggestive of COVID-19. Patients with a positive rapid antigen test for COVID-19 either at the time of discharge or symptom onset were considered to have acquired nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infection. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21 for Windows was used for data analysis.

Results

The frequency of nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2 was 2.7% (13/482). Patients with nosocomial COVID-19 stayed longer in the hospital than those who tested negative (7.5±4.0 versus 4.8±3.6 days; p=0.006). Age (p=0.796), gender (p=0.453), department of inpatient stay (p=0.943), major surgery (p=0.678), minor surgery (p=0.576), and visit to the radiology department (p=0.707) did not affect nosocomial spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Conclusion

Nosocomial transmission of COVID-19 was infrequent, accounting for 2.7% of participants in this study.

OBJECTIVES
To determine the histopathological assessment of microvascular invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Resection Specimens and its correlation with tumour size and grade.
METHODOLOGY
This retrospective cross-sectional study included the biopsy-proven Hepatocellular (HCC) case with microvascular invasion (MVI) noted in the resected specimens evaluated by two independent consultants Histopathologists. The exclusion criteria were; all patients below 18 years, unfixed autolyzed samples, and incomplete requisition-filled forms. Numerical data, i.e., patient age and tumour size, are presented as mean with standard deviation. Categorical variables, i.e., tumour size, grade, and presence or absence of MVI, were submitted as numbers with percentages. Continuous variables, i.e., tumour size and differentiation grade, were assessed using the Chi-square test. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.
RESULTSMost patients, 34.4%, fall into the age group of 47-70. Most patients were males, 63.6%, and microvascular invasion was noted in 49.09% of cases. Most cases were of moderate to poorly differentiated tumours, 80.0%. MVI was statistically significant with the grade of the tumour.
CONCLUSION
Microvascular invasion is an important prognostic marker noted in a surgical resection specimen. Although the exact definition and risk stratification is unclear, survival studies have proven that MVI is associated with poor outcomes.

This study evaluated pain relief and functional outcomes in patients who underwent surgical stabilization following post-operative discitis.
METHODOLOGY
A cross-sectional was conducted at the Department of Orthopedic and Spine Surgery, Peshawar. The study duration spanned from 2020-2023. The inclusion criteria for participants involved patients who had experienced post-operative discitis and subsequently underwent surgical stabilization, with a stipulated minimum follow-up period of two weeks. Pain relief was measured using the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for back and leg pain, while functional outcomes were evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The acquired data were subjected to analysis utilizing SPSS version 26.0.
RESULTSOut of the 35, 51.4% were male, and 48.6% were female, with a mean age of 47.5 years (SD ± 10.9 years). The most frequently affected lumbar spine level was L4-L5 in 57.1% of patients. 31.4% were smokers, and 45.7% had comorbidities, primarily consisting of diabetes or hypertension. Significant improvements were observed for back pain (baseline: 9.29 ± 0.71, post-stabilization: 5.37 ± 1.47, p = 0.001) and leg pain (baseline: 3.32 ± 2.17, post-stabilization: 1.91 ± 1.02, p = 0.001). Functional outcomes also showed substantial recovery (baseline: 51.57 ± 6.91, post-stabilization: 34.89 ± 6.85, p = 0.001). Preoperatively, the patients exhibited a spectrum of disability levels, with 29% experiencing severe disability. After two weeks of surgical intervention, substantial improvement was noted, 6% had severe disability. At the last follow-up, only 1% remained severely disabled, underlining the significant enhancement in functional outcomes post-stabilization.
CONCLUSION
Surgical stabilization is associated with significant pain relief and improved functional outcomes in patients with post-operative discitis.

Published: October 2023

Este trabajo se centró en la revisión sistemática de la literatura relacionada con la integración y el impacto de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en el rendimiento académico. El objetivo principal fue comprender cómo las TIC, cuando se implementan adecuadamente, pueden potenciar o limitar el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. A través de una metodología basada en la revisión de diez estudios clave, se identificaron hallazgos consistentes que subrayan el potencial significativo de las TIC en la mejora del aprendizaje y la enseñanza. Sin embargo, también se destacaron desafíos, como la necesidad de familiaridad y formación adecuada en estas herramientas. Los resultados indican que, mientras las TIC ofrecen oportunidades inigualables para la innovación educativa, su implementación efectiva requiere una consideración cuidadosa de varios factores pedagógicos y contextuales.

New Objectives and New Opportunities for Economic Growth
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Ershov M.V.
Published: October 2023

The growth of the global economy and the advancement of leading countries is considered to be on the rise in 2023, but overall dynamic has slowed significantly. At the same time, central banks of developed countries continue to raise rates, limiting opportunities for economic growth. It is noted that under new conditions the issue of strengthening the internal mechanisms of economic development is becoming more urgent. Under sanctions the Russian economy is faced with fundamentally new circumstances and other challenges, which requires additional levers of regulation and economic support. The need to support economic growth based on domestic demand factors, the creation of new sources of financial resources and new mechanisms for their formation are emphasized. Nevertheless, it becomes more important to provide the economy with long-term money to finance investments accessible to a wider range of market participants; a stable and non-depreciating ruble exchange rate is advisable, etc. All this requires a significant modification of monetary and financial approaches.
The nature of creative activity and “creative industries”. Noonomy and Noosociety
Authors:   Free Economic Society of Russia, Bodrunov S.D.
Published: October 2023

the article critically analyzes the widespread views on the problems associated with creative activity, on the composition and role of the so-called creative class and creative industries. The author shows that many popular views, despite their widespread prevalence, do not stand up to either theoretical or empirical testing. At the same time, these distorted ideas did not appear from scratch, but reflect, firstly, the increased role of creative activity, and, secondly, the specific framework in which creative activity is placed in the conditions of modern capitalism. The author contrasts these ideas with his own view of the nature and prospects of creative activity, which can and should be put at the service of the goals of human development.

Pearlescent transformation of enterprises as a microeconomic stage of transition to noonomy
Authors:   Central Economic Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuropatkina L.V.
Published: October 2023

this paper discusses a new “pearlescent” concept of enterprise management, which ensures its sustainable development due to the flexibility of the internal structure, the combination of hierarchical and democratic models for making and implementing decisions, expanding the planning horizon and focusing on the future, as well as increasing the intellectual and creative intensity of labor. Pearlescent enterprises are the most relevant form of organizing the functioning of production at the stage of formation of a new industrial society of the second generation (NIS.2). NIS.2 is distinguished by a high level of knowledge-extensiveness and knowledge-intensity of industrial production. This stage initiates the transition to a qualitatively new form of social relations − noonomy (S.D. Bodrunov), where material needs are met mainly through the creation of automated, intelligent industries using information and computer technologies with minimal participation of people in the process of social production and there is a development of a creative, cultural, non-economic person. The expansion of the corps of Pearlescent enterprises and the development of the Pearlescent sector of the economy, which includes Pearlescent industrial, educational, research and development organizations, can become a reliable foundation for the further formation of NIS.2 and the transformation of the Russian economy into noonomy. Justification of the expediency of developing the Pearlescent sector of the economy as a necessary stage on the way to the creation of NIS.2 should be considered a new step in the theory of building a society of the future.
Theory of noonomy in the system of regional development
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Batov G.K.
Published: October 2023

at present, society is faced with the choice of the vector of the direction of socio-economic development and methods of technological modernization of the foundations of the economy. The existing problems and contradictions of the modern social structure have become impossible to solve within the framework of the existing formational system. On one hand, the need to choose new approaches is due to the fact that the current system, which is imputed to permanent crises, slows down progressive socio-economic shifts, and on the other hand, there is an aggravation of urgent problems that need to be addressed in the short term. Numerous publications offer various paradigms for solving these and other problems. Among them the most promising is the theory of noonomy, which contains the necessary prognostic potential for comprehending and understanding trends in both the near and distant future. These publications touch on the global or country level, leaving the regional aspect unaddressed. This study examines how elements of the theory of noonomy can be implemented at the regional level and whether it can act as a methodological and theoretical tool that allows the implementation of strategic projects for the development of the region. The possibility of using project management methods to implement aspects of the theory of noonomy is substantiated.

Chinese strategemic thinking and its origins in the cultural tradition of China
Authors:   Vladimir Malyavin’s Center for Cultural Exchange and Education “Sredotochie”, Mikhailov A.F.
Published: October 2023

the article presents an original view of the Chinese strategy of success and the meaning of the key 36th stratagem of the ancient Chinese canon. This understanding was revealed to the author of the first translation into Russian, Vladimir Malyavin after many years of studying the Chinese art of Tai Chi Chuan and is of fundamental importance for grasping the essence of the Chinese intuitive approach to building a successful strategy in life, when a person encounters different circumstances along the way. A true strategy is not a mental activity based on ancient book texts, but the cultivation of a special tuned state of integrity, centering and suspense, which allows a person to act intuitively in the only right way, not choosing, but following the potential of the situation, keeping calm in any circumstances, without fear of change and increasing periods of uncertainty.
