Introduction. Due to the active introduction of digital technologies into human activity, there is a change in the way of work organisation, changes in the content of processes, including the profession of translator. Inclusion of the study of the peculiarities of the use of digital economy technologies in the educational process allows preparing future specialists for their professional activities. The aim of the work is to identify the main features of digital economy technologies, to determine the possibilities and directions of their use in the activity of a translator, as well as to identify the content of digital competences and ways of forming them in linguistics students in the educational process. Materials and methods. The methodology is determined by analytical approaches to identifying the features of digital economy technologies, the comparative method allowed us to form approaches to the content of digital competence in translation activity. The method of point-rating assessment allowed us to identify the level of formed designated knowledge, skills, abilities and competences. The survey method allowed to get feedback from the 4th year students of the direction “Linguistics” participating in the sample. As a theoretical basis we used scientific works devoted to the issues of digital competences of translators, as well as digital technologies in their professional activities. The results of the study and their discussion. The introduction of the issue of the use of technologies of the digital economy into the educational process of training future translators allows us to define the content of the discipline “Information Technologies in Translation”, the components of the translator's digital competence determine the directions of competence formation and the content of the current control. The policy of import substitution and sanctions has imposed requirements on the relevance of the applications and services used, which poses difficulties for the technical organization of the learning process and allows us to formulate new criteria for the selection of software. The results of the interim control showed an increase in the efficiency and quality indicators of the learning process in the discipline. Conclusion. A properly organized digital environment, modern information technologies selected on the basis of scientific criteria, an educational process aimed at motivating professional work and assessing the formation of both digital and translation competence allow to increase the efficiency of learning and its quality in the training of translation specialists.

Introduction. Currently, there is an increase in the risks of victimization among representatives of different age and social strata, including young people. The aim of this study was to reveal the role of the quality of students’ relationships with peers and parents in the determination of their victimization. Materials and methods. Russian university students (M=105) took part in the study. The following methods were used: a demographic questionnaire, O.O. Andronnikova's Methods for Studying propensity to Victim Behavior by O.O. Andronnikova, G. Armsden and M. Greenberg's Parent and Peer Attachment Questionnaire, Alvarez's Family Social Capital Questionnaire, Lau and Lee's Student Social Capital Questionnaire. The obtained results indicated the positive role of secure attachment to the mother and to the friend, family cohesion and the negative role of conflicts in the family in the prevention of victimized behavior in adolescence Realised victimhood is more closely related to mother attachment than to father and friend attachment. Communication and cohesion among family members prevent the realisation of victimhood, while conflictual relationships within the family contribute to it. The propensity for aggressive behaviour is determined by the characteristics of attachment to mother, father and close friend; family relationships, attachment to mother and attachment to friend predict the propensity for self-harm; the propensity for dependent and uncritical victimization is determined more by family relationships than by peer relationships. The practical significance of the results is discussed.

Introduction. The problem of training specialists in the field of psychological assistance, protection of the rights and legitimate interests of participants in activities is currently extremely relevant due to complex political relations. Professional training and education of specialists requires obtaining skills and abilities in assessing qualitative information in relationships and communication, working with text and speech information, taking into account the age, cultural, ethnic, gender and mental characteristics of opponents. The purpose of the study was to study the practical skills of students in mastering the methodology of qualitative analysis and the application of phenomenology and hermeneutics techniques in text analysis in the educational process. Methodology and methods: the methods of phenomenology and hermeneutics implemented by students studying in the areas of psychology and jurisprudence were used. Results and conclusions. Differences in the performance of tasks by students of different areas of training and profiles were established. Students have difficulties in formulating problems in the process of applying phenomenological techniques and a decrease in the level of subjectivity in describing the significance of the results obtained by hermeneutic techniques. The novelty of the qualitative research is the system of operationalization of indicators for the implementation of phenomenology and hermeneutics techniques, which allows to establish the structure of links between the components of the methods. Further prospects of the study are determined by the study of traces of the knowledge gained and skills of conducting a qualitative analysis of the text during the entire learning process and its use by students in the material of the final qualification work.

Introduction. Inclusive higher education is based on the principle of humanity and addresses the personal values of students. The purpose of the research is to examine the hierarchy of values and locus of control for students with disabilities. Materials and methods. Sample: 93 students aged 17 to 28. Methods: Rokeach Value Survey and the Level of Subjective Control questionnaire. Statistical processing methods: Mann-Whitney U test, mean values ranking procedure, binomial distribution procedure. Results. Students with disabilities attach high importance to both interpersonal relationships and independence. Students with disabilities more often have an external locus of control, particularly in the spheres of health, failure, family and, above all, industrial relations, but there is a small group of respondents with an internal locus of control. Respondents attributed their achievements and interpersonal relationships to both themselves and external factors. Respondents with an internal locus of control place higher values on a financial security and entertainment, while respondents with an external locus of control place higher values of mature love and a happy family life. Conclusions. Students with disabilities have different values and types of locus of control. Comparative analysis revealed differences between students with congenital and acquired disabilities, as well as students with internal and external locus of control. The research expands the perception of students with disabilities. This will allow you to get closer to solving the urgent problems of their adaptation and interaction with teachers and students. The research is of interest to psychologists and educators.

Issues of the effectiveness of the implementation of industrial policy and measures of state support for industrial enterprises have reached the level of state strategic decisions in connection with the emergence of new external and internal challenges facing Russia today. The main problem that urgently needs to be solved is the development of mechanisms for implementing state policy in terms of the application of state support measures in the context of ongoing sanctions and political pressure. The authors of the article presented an evolutionary cross-section of the content of industrial policy, provided criteria for classifying its instruments and forms of implementation through a description of government support measures. Consideration of industrial policy from the historical and functional side at the macro- and meso- levels (specific territory and specific industry) contributed to the systematization of government support measures for industrial enterprises. The relevance of the research interest is related to the fact that with a significant number of publications in Russia and abroad concerning the issues of improving industrial policy and measures of state impact on industrial facilities, the problem of appropriate effective methodological and practical support for the management of state support measures remains unsolved. The article presents a systematization of state support measures for industrial enterprises, a critical analysis of the methodology for selecting enterprises receiving state support, an assessment of the results of the implementation of the applied system of support measures, as well as the reasons for the gap between the stated goals of industrial policy and its actual results. In this scientific article, the authors propose to improve the approach to assessing enterprises that are recipients of government support in order to ensure that their choices comply with the goals of industrial policy.

Published: October 2024

Mass sports is an important socio-cultural phenomenon that influences the formation of values and behavioural attitudes in society. The study of the concept of creating a common value of mass sports is important for understanding its influence on public consciousness and the development of socio-cultural environment. The relevance of this study is due to the importance of the development of mass sports as a means of strengthening the physical and psychological health of the population, the formation of social unity and solidarity, which, in turn, allows us to talk about the creation of a common value of mass sports. The research methods included retrospective literature review, analysis and synthesis, systematization and grouping of data, mathematization in the context of frequency determination and modelling. The paper proposed a conceptual model for creating shared value in mass sports, which describes opportunities for the development of sport organizations through addressing social problems and on this basis creating economic value for organizations, local communities, and the economy of the country. The results of the study showed that the concept of creating shared value in mass sports implies not only the achievement of sports results, but also the formation of favorable sociocultural and socio-economic conditions for the development of society and the economy. An important aspect of the concept realization is the integration of mass sports into public life and the creation of conditions for equal access to sport for all groups of the population. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop mass sports and implement the concept of creating common value to ensure the health and well-being of society. The results of the study can be used to develop strategies for the development of mass sports based on joint value creation. The concept of jointly created value in mass sports is implemented at both the state and local levels of government.

Mobile Network Operators as Banks – Opportunites and Threats
Authors: Bećirović Suad , Plojović Šemsudin , Ujkanović Enis
Published: October 2024

Mobile phones have not only changed the way people communicate, but have also become an important tool for financial services. The question arises whether these financial services should be provided by a mobile network operator or not. Therefore the goal of this paper is to analyse the opportunities and threats for mobile network operators to provide financial services. The paper concludes that one of the major decision factors is the regulatory framework. If mobile network operators have to establish a bank in order to provide financial services then many advantages and synergies that could be derived from the core competences of the network operator will be lost. Synergies can be used if the mobile network operator can receive a licence as financial service provider, but not as a bank. However, if this is not possible it would be better for mobile network operators to partner with existing banks or similar institutions in order to use existing competitive advantages in the best way.

Published: October 2024

Hepatotoxicity can be caused by excessive drug use, triggered by increased oxidative stress which is considered as the initial mechanism of Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI). One of the causes of DILI is Isoniazid. One of the plants acting as a hepatoprotector in protecting liver cells is cinnamon (Cinamommum burmanii). This study aims to determine the effect of 96% ethanolic cinnamon extract as a hepatoprotector against an increase in Alanine Transaminase (ALT) levels induced by isoniazid. The parameters used to assess liver damage were rat plasma ALT. The sample used in this study was rat plasma, which was taken through the retro orbital sinus. This research is an experimental study with a sample of 25 experimental animals divided into five groups, namely negative control (K1), positive control l (K2), and experimental group with cinnamon ethanolic extract at a dose of 100 mg/kgbw (K3), 200 mg/kgbw(K4), and 400 mg/kgbw(K5). The research used a post-test-only control group design. The results were analyzed using the One-way ANOVA test followed by the post hoc Tukey test. The results proved that cinnamon ethanolic extract at doses of 100 mg/kgbw (P = 0.029), 200 mg/kgbw (P = 0.001), and 400 mg/kgbw (P = 0.000) was effective in reducing plasma SGPT levels in isoniazid-induced rats when compared with the positive control group (K2). The most effective dose was at 200 mg/kgbw (K4). Thus, this proves that all of the doses in experimental groups have a hepatoprotective effect against isoniazid-induced liver damage.

This study aims to obtain overall information about all proteins formed in body fluids, cells, or tissues at a certain time and to analyze the mechanism of cell responses to various types of stress and drugs. Single black garlic (SBG) has the potential to be a pharmacological agent. However, the safety of using single black garlic is still unknown, so a material toxicity test is needed. This research is a laboratory experimental research with a post-test-only control group design. An oral acute toxicity test was used. Observation time was 14 days and consisted of four treatments, negative control, SBG dose 2000 mg/kgbw (P1), 3000 mg/kgbw (P2), and 5000 mg/kgbw (P3). Post-treatment protein analysis was done using the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis method. Observations of clinical symptoms of SBG at doses of 2000 mg/kgbw, 3000 mg/kgbw, and 5000 mg/kgbw showed no clinical symptoms in mice, both motor activity and pupils were still normal, no convulsions (seizures), lacrimation, paralysis or death were seen in mice. Observations on plasma proteins showed differences in protein between the treatments at the SBG dose of 2000 mg/kgbw with the SBG dose of 3000 mg/kgbw and 5000 mg/kgbw, but the four treatments have the same type of protein in the protein band with a molecular weight of 25 kDa. So, it can be concluded that SBG doses of 2000 mg/kgbw, 3000 mg/kgbw, and 5000 mg/kgbw are not toxic to mice but can stimulate the expression of certain proteins.

Diarrhea is a defecation disorder with a frequency of more than three times in 24 hr with watery stools. Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), there are 1.7 billion cases of diarrhea that occur globally each year, and in Indonesia, 200 to 400 per 1000 residents each year with 60–80% of cases being children under five years old. Based on data collected by South Cimahi Public Health Center, there were 922 cases of diarrhea in 2022. Diarrhea can be prevented by implementing ODF and Clean and Healthy Life Behavior (PHBS). The Open Defecation Free (ODF) program aims to help people in the area to be free from open defecation. This study aims to understand the relationship between ODF and PHBS behavior with diarrhea incidence of residents in the South Cimahi Health Center area using analytical observation with a cross-sectional study design. A total of 112 residents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The results showed as many as 56.4% of families who have implemented ODF and have no incidence of diarrhea, and 86.2% of families who have not implemented PHBS with diarrhea. There is a relationship between ODF and PHBS with an incidence of diarrhea (P = 0,00) among residents in the South Cimahi Public Health Center area.

Metabolic syndrome refers to a cluster of metabolic abnormalities in the body, including central obesity, elevated blood pressure, high glucose, and triglyceride levels, as well as low HDL levels. The Mediterranean diet, known for its specific composition, is believed to mitigate metabolic syndrome. This study aims to assess the impact of adhering to the Mediterranean diet on individuals with metabolic syndrome. It employs an observational analytic approach, utilizing a prospective cohort of 30 participants who followed the Mediterranean diet regimen as part of their treatment at a clinic in Bandung City. Systematic Random Sampling was used to select participants, and blood pressure was measured at the beginning (T1) and end (T2) of the study. Data on dietary intake were collected using the Relative Mediterranean Diet (rMED) scale via a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test, were conducted to compare dietary compositions across adherence groups and to assess the impact of the Mediterranean diet on metabolic syndrome components. The findings revealed that participants, with an average age of 57.94 years and 69.44% female, experienced significant improvements in certain metabolic syndrome components, such as waist circumference (fruit and nut intake), triglycerides (vegetable intake), HDL (meat intake), and blood glucose (dairy product intake). However, no significant effects were observed for legumes, seeds, fish, and olive oil components on MetS.

Philosophical and Anthropological Problems in the Work of M. Horkheimer
and T. Adorno “Dialectics of Enlightenment”
Authors: Plekhanov Ilya N.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the work of the Frankfurt
school theorists M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno “Dialectics of Enlightenment.
Philosophical fragments” from a philosophical and anthropological
perspective. These thinkers became famous primarily as representatives of
sociological knowledge. The study showed that their heritage also raises
philosophical and anthropological issues. The work shows that in “Dialectics
of Enlightenment” the authors offer an original concept of the history of
European culture, presented from the perspective of the evolution of being
and consciousness of the individual. Thinkers are convinced that the entire
history of European culture appears as a distinction between man and nature,
the removal of the natural from the consciousness of the individual. Modern
culture is considered by M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno as the apogee of this
sociocultural crisis, after which, according to them, “non-existence” comes.
Based on the presented assessment of theorists of the Frankfurt School, a
conclusion is made about the validity of understanding the current crisis of
European culture (crisis of the 20th century) as a sociocultural
transformation, marking the entrance to a new stage in the dynamics of the
countries of this region.
New Data on the Campaign of Sultans Bakhty-Giray (Delhi-Sultan) and
Murad-Giray against Kabarda in the Spring of 1729
Authors: Sen’ Dmitriy V.
Published: October 2024

The concept, organization and conditions of the campaign against Kabarda
in the spring of 1729, led by the sultans Bakhty-Giray (Delhi-Sultan) and
Murad-Giray, are analyzed. The main controversial issues of the study of the
topic are considered, related to the number of forces that set out on the
campaign, its reasons and causes (which were of particular importance for
Bakhty-Giray), the sequence of military actions, etc. New arguments are
presented in support of the opinion that the army of the sultans was not
many thousands strong and that the Kabardians could probably even outnumber
it. New documentary sources are being introduced into scientific
circulation, allowing us to clarify the assessments of military operations
that have already been established in historiography, as well as the
composition of the opposing forces. For the first time in historiography,
the opinion about the participation of Kalmyks, who traditionally supported
Bakhty-Giray, in military operations has been substantiated in detail. The
thesis about the attackers storming the so-called Crimean walls and that
their retreat actually took place and turned into a flight is critically
examined. New information has been revealed that reports the death of the
sultans Bakhty-Giray and Murad-Giray in Kabarda, whose deliberate murder,
apparently, was not originally part of the plans of the princes Kurgokin.

Published: October 2024

Background: Stroke is an medical emergency which is 3rd most common cause of death in developed countries. The cumulative incidence of stroke ranged from 105 to 152/100,000 persons per year, and the crude prevalence of stroke ranged from 44.29 to 559/100,000 persons in different parts of the country during the past decade. These values were higher than those of high-income countries. The WHO clinically defines stroke as “the rapid development of clinical signs and symptoms of focal neurological disturbance lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than vascular origin. Aim and Objectives:  To compare the level of serum HDL level between two categories of stroke. Objectives:  To compare the levels of serum HDL and study of lipid profile between two categories of stroke. Materials and Methods: Sample size is of 100 patients and case control study was done, with 50 patients having ischemic stroke and 50 having haemorrhagic stroke who presented in Geetanjali medical college, Udaipur. Detailed physical and neurological examination was done. Fasting blood sample, Random blood sugar was taken in plain tubes. Results were recorded. Results: Study showed HDL was significantly decreased in ischemic stroke than hemorrhagic stroke and Total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL were more in ischemic stroke than hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusion: This study shows that there is a significant decrease in HDL in ischemic stroke than Hemorrhagic stroke.

Introduction Face is the interpreter of emotions, mirror of soul, powerhouse of senses and wayfor communication. Facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve which serves vital functions of lacrimation, salivation, taste, hearing and facial expression. It necessitates urgent measures to understand the cause and nature of nerve injury and undertake immediate steps for restoration and rehabilitation of facial symmetry. About 90% of lower motor neuron facial nerve disorders- inflammatory, traumatic or neoplastic, happens along its intratemporal course. Over past two decades, many developments have been made. Newer technologies like radiology, electrodiagnostic study and emergence of intraoperative monitoring have been helpful. Complex course within the bony canal, congenital dehiscence, fine branching, interconnections, segmental blood supply, all these factors show significantly, heading towards causation and final result of insult to nerve. A list of etiologies commonly Bell's palsy, followed by Temporal bone fracture, Iatrogenic trauma, Herpes Zoster Oticus, Otitis Media (OM), Cerebellopontine (CP) angle or Intratemporal neoplasm (facial nerve Schwannoma), result in facial nerve paralysis. The nerve testing depends on determining the scale of distal axonal degeneration (electrodiagnosis), function of branches of the nerve (topo diagnosis) and radiologic guidance in indicated cases1. The pathways of the facial nerve are variable, and knowledge of the key intratemporal and extratemporal landmarks is essential for accurate physical diagnosis and safe and effective surgical intervention.

CNS co-infections by pyogenic and tuberculosis are uncommon infectious processes, with few cases reported to date. These superadded bacterial infections during CNS tuberculosis present usually atypical clinical manifestations. Bacterial meningitis is a rare but severe complication of patients with spondylodiscitis. CNS tuberculosis has a broad spectrum of disease patterns and a high risk of complications and mortality. Although bacterial infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is a lifethreatening neurological emergency only few papers reported. Here We report a case of 48 year old diabetic male who was diagnosed with Neurotuberculosis with bacterial meningitis and cervical spondylodiscitis and treated with both Antibiotics and Anti-Tuberculous drugs and patient improved symptomatically. Keywords: Bacterial meningitis, TB Meningitis, Cervical Spondylodiscitis, Anti-Tuberculous drugs.

Introduction: The neonatal period presents the greatest daily risk of death compared to any other stage of childhood. Objective: To study the clinical profile of neonates admitted in Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) in a tertiary teaching hospital of a tribal area. Materials and Methods: A retrospective case record analysis of all admissions between January 2017 to December 2022 was done based on medical record data. The neonates with complete record were included in the study. Results: Total of 1476 newborns were admitted from the year 2017 to 2022 in SNCU of TRIHMS, out of which, 860 (58.3%) patients were male and 612 (41.5%) were females. 84.4% admissions were inborn and 15.6% were outborn patients. Major causes of admission were neonatal jaundice (22.4%) followed by prematurity (15.4%), neonatal sepsis (15.1%) and birth asphyxia (11.4%). The outcome rates for survival, referral, deaths and LAMA were 79.3%, 9.7%, 5.8% and 5.1% respectively. The leading causes of mortality were birth asphyxia (22.3%), prematurity (21.2%) and sepsis (11.8%). Conclusion: In our SNCU, common causes of deaths are birth asphyxia, prematurity, sepsis respiratory distress syndrome and congenital heart disease. Enhancing antennal care, improving access to healthcare facilities, ensuring timely referral of high risk cases, building capacity and providing intensive interventional management can significantly reduce neonatal mortality and its associated complications. Surveillance and training interventions for managing these causes should be established and reinforced. Keywords: Neonates, morbidity, mortality, preterm, sepsis.
Mesenteric Dedifferentiated liposarcoma presenting as a massive abdominal lump: A Rare Case

This case study examines a sixty five-year-old male presenting with a distended abdomen, lower back discomfort, and dyspnea on lying down, progressing over three months. Physical examination revealed multiple hard palpable lumps in the abdomen. Initial radiological evaluation indicated a connective tissue tumor, leading to a trucut biopsy revealing a spindle cell neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential. The tumor was found to be resistant to immunotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Surgical resection unveiled multiple mesenteric tumors along the small bowel and also involving the descending colon, diagnosed as a dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Liposarcoma encompasses five histological subtypes, with dedifferentiated being the least common and comprised of poorly differentiated cells. Although liposarcomas typically originate from the retroperitoneum, the occurrence of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the small bowel mesentery is exceedingly rare. This case report aims to underscore this uncommon occurrence, discuss diagnostic and treatment strategies, and advocate for further research into targeted therapies addressing specific immunohistochemistry markers to enhance outcomes for such patients, who generally face a grim prognosis Keywords – dedifferentiated liposarcoma , mesenteric tumors, spindle cell malignancy, mesenchymal tumors of GIT.
Os vaga-lumes, as ruínas e a formação humana
Authors: Nolli Marcelo Ricardo
Published: October 2024

Este ensaio procura apresentar uma reflexão em torno da ideia benjaminiana de “declínio da experiência” na modernidade. O objetivo consiste em argumentar que a obra de Walter Benjamin não permanecesse no impasse da nostalgia por tempos anteriores, nem decreta o “desaparecimento da experiência”. Tal explicitação se deve à necessidade de não compreendermos este autor como um filósofo conservador ou reacionário, pois mesmo diante do declínio da experiência Benjamin não a lamenta, mas visa atravessar essa situação por meio do potencial político e estético que daí surge. Isso nos permite entendê-lo como um pensador oposto aos arautos da ruína, na separação de Arendt, sem também ser um arauto do progresso. Para tanto, tomamos como base a crítica que Didi-Huberman realiza ao filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben e ao poeta-cineasta Pier Paolo Pasolini, que aderem a uma postura desesperadamente apocalítica do presente, ao decretarem a “morte das sobrevivências”. Por fim, defendemos que a formação humana precisa tratar destes aspectos, mas sem se imobilizar ou se resignar. Tal discussão iniciada por Benjamin torna profícua a perspectiva de pensar as derrotas, os fracassos, e também as aberturas e pontos onde, mesmo na escuridão, ou nas ruínas, podemos vislumbrar as sobrevivências, o que honra a forma da imagem dialética benjaminiana.
UNIVERSALIZAÇÃO DAS BIBLIOTECAS ESCOLARES
Authors: Sousa e Silva Lívia , De Medeiros Adriana Francisca
Published: October 2024

Esta pesquisa tem como principal objetivo analisar as publicações referentes à lei 12.244/10, que dispõe sobre a universalização das bibliotecas escolares no Brasil. Foi realizado um recorte temporal dos anos de 2010 até 2022 no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES para sumarizar o quantitativo de produções e apresentar uma breve análise do conteúdo dos artigos que tratam sobre a temática. Constata que a universalização das bibliotecas escolares continua a ser um tema em questão e que a realidade ainda está distante das propostas da lei 12.244/10 e das diretrizes nacionais e internacionais que norteiam a biblioteca escolar e suas atividades.
