В региональной конкурентной борьбе за привлечение туристических потоков, формирование позитивного образа региона сувенирная продукция играет не последнюю роль. Несмотря на то, что Санкт-Петербург не испытывает дефицита туристической популярности и востребованности, вопрос обеспечения его качественной сувенирной продукцией стоит крайне остро, что требует поиска новых подходов, более точной территориальной привязки, отражающей культурное, историческое своеобразие данного территориального образования. Именно в этом направлении велась разработка сувенирной продукции студентами кафедры анимации и медиадизайна СПГХПА им. А. Л. Штиглица, нашедшая отражение в данной статье.

In the regional competition for attracting tourist flows and creating a positive image of the region, souvenir products play an important role. Despite the fact that St. Petersburg does not experience a shortage of tourist popularity and demand, the issue of providing it with high-quality souvenir products is extremely pressing and requires the search for new approaches, a more precise territorial reference, reflecting the cultural and historical uniqueness of this territorial entity. It was in this direction that the design of souvenir products was carried out by the students of the Department of Animation and Media Design of the Saint Petersburg State Art and Industrial Academy named after A. L. Stieglitz, which is reflected in this article.
How can a black horse have brown fur?
Authors: Szymanowska-Ciepły Katarzyna
Published: April 2024

Hungarian equine coat colour-related terminology is a largely unresearched subject. Its unique situation as a rapidly developing jargon results in multiple nomenclatural systems used simultaneously in the specialised literature. The analysis of the nomenclatural systems’ inner structure suggests the usage of two differing methods of categorisation, one based on the visual properties of the subject, the other based on non-visual genetic factors of the described animal.

The paper reviews the colour categories’ main traits that influence their categorisation process and compares them with the Hungarian equine coat colours’ characteristics. The comparison reveals that Hungarian equine coat colour terms are in many ways similar to the conventional colour terms, but due to their differences they create a separate colour-motivated class of specialised terms.

The analytic part focuses on the different methods of categorisation present in the various nomenclatural systems in the equine coat colour related literature. It defines their main features and the underlying cause of their existence. It explores the division of the nomenclatural systems in accordance with their categorisation process and provides a detailed description of the traits of both traditional and modern nomenclatural systems discussing them on the basis of specific examples.

The further part of the analysis explores the semantic relationship between the conventional colours and the equine coat colours in the context of equine coat colour terms sharing their forms with Basic Colour Terms.

The research material consists of a database of Hungarian equine coat colour-related terms, gathered from a variety of zootechnical, sport and hobby literature and commonly available internet sources on the topic. The nomenclatural systems presented in the sources are visualised in the form of diagrams, illustrating the meaning of individual terms and the systems’ internal hierarchies.

The presented findings showcase the complexity of the specialised colour-motivated terms and their difference from the conventional colour terms. They present how external, non-linguistic factors like the development of the natural sciences may influence the relatively hermetic colour-motivated terminology.
Health effects and metabolic pathway of arsenic in children
Authors: Chowdhury Uttam K
Published: April 2024

Our six years of field experience in Bangladesh showed that normally children under 11 years of age do not show arsenical skin manifestations. However, we have observed a few exceptions when (1) the arsenic content in water consumed by children is very high (≥1,000 µg/L) and (2) the arsenic content is not very high, but the children get poor nutrition. It appears that although 6.12% of 4,864 children showed arsenic skin lesions but hair and nail analysis of children (below 11 years) with or without arsenical skin lesions from affected villages of Bangladesh showed that 84% of the children had arsenic in hair more than the toxic level and 89% in nail above normal level. It appears that children living in arsenic affected villages have higher arsenic body burden but less dermatological symptoms. The value of arsenic excretion and arsenic intake per kg of body weight ratio for adults is 0.53 while that of the children is 0.69. This indicates total arsenic excretion is higher for children per kg of body weight than adults. The average values (n = 18) for speciation of arsenic in children urine are 15.60% In-As, 10.64% MMA, and 73.76% DMA. Overall percentage of MMA is higher, and DMA is lower in adults than children (average % MMA is 17.20 vs. 10.64 and % DMA is 64.62 vs. 73.76%, respectively). Therefore, the 2nd methylation step (MMA to DMA) could be more active in children than adults. The results indicate that the first reaction of the metabolism pathway is more active in adults than children, basically in adult’s male. Also shows a significant (t-test positive) increase in the values of the DMA/MMA ratio in children compared to adults of the exposed group (8.15 vs. 4.11, respectively). Moreover, it is also observed that the second methylation step in the arsenic metabolic pathway is more active in children than adults. Because there is no significant difference of the values of MMA/iAs ratio, but the values of DMA/MMA ratio are significantly different between adults and children of the exposed group (0.92 vs. 0.73 for MMA/Asi and 4.11 vs 8.15 for DMA/MMA, respectively). Thus, from these results we may conclude that children retain arsenic shorter in their body comparing adults.
Plasma metadherin mRNA expression in bladder cancer
Authors:   Department of Clinical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt., Abd El Hakeem Esraa
Published: April 2024

Urinary bladder cancer (BC) is the ninth most common cancer worldwide. At present, the clinical diagnosis of BC depends on self-reported symptoms, tissue biopsy specimens by cystoscopy and from voided urine cytology. However, cystoscopy is an invasive examination and voided urine cytology has low sensitivity, which might provoke misdiagnosis. The search for cancer biomarkers in blood is worthy of intense attention due to patients' comfort and ease of sampling. This work aimed to study expression of mRNA metadherin (MTDH) in plasma, serum BC specific antigen 1 (BLCA-1) and cystatin C as biomarkers of BC and their relation to different disease stages. This study included 59 BC patients, 11 patients with benign bladder lesion and 18 subjects as normal controls. MTDH expression was assessed by real time polymerase chain reaction, BLCA-1, and cystatin C by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The three biomarkers were elevated in BC patients than patients with benign bladder diseases and controls. Patients with BC grade 3 and 4 had higher cystatin C, BLCA-1 and MTDH in comparison to patients with grade 1 and grade 2 (p=0.000). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that BLCA-1 at a cutoff point of 32.5 ng/ml and area under the curve of 1.00, had 100% accuracy, 100% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 100% positive predictive values and 100% negative predictive value. In conclusion, BLCA-1 was a better biomarker than cystatin C and MTDH. Cystatin C, BLCA-1 and MTDH levels, can differentiate between benign bladder lesion and BC and correlated with tumor grades.
The role of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, interleukin-6 and neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio as a laboratory biomarker in COVID-19
Authors:   College of Medicine, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq., Al-Bayaa Yasmeen
Published: April 2024

Biomarkers such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) have a role in the pathogenesis of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to explore the differences between serum levels of such biomarkers in severe and non-severe COVID-19 cases and compare them with normal people and to evaluate the sociodemographic variables and chronic diseases effect on the severity of COVID-19. The study included 160 subjects, divided into two groups, a case group of 80 patients, and a control group of 80 normal persons. The case group was divided into two subgroups: 40 severe COVID-19 patients and 40 patients with non-severe disease. Blood IL-6 was assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), PCT by an immunoassay, CRP by an immunoturbidimetric assay and NLR from CBC. The levels of IL-6, PCT, CRP, and NLR were significantly higher in the case group than in control group (p= 0.001, for all). However, there was no difference between these biomarkers level in the non-severe COVID-19 subgroup and the control group (p>0.05 for all). The proportion of severe COVID-19 was significantly higher in patients aged >50 years, and in patients with chronic diseases (p=0.046 and p=0.001, respectively). We also found a strong correlation between such biomarkers and old age, and chronic diseases with the disease severity. There was a significant difference in the level of the three biomarkers (IL-6, PCT, CRP, and NLR) between patients’ subgroups and the control group. In conclusion, since the levels of these biomarkers are correlated with the severity of the COVID-19 disease, and there was a difference in the levels between the groups with severe and non-severe symptoms, we suggest a role of these biomarkers in predicting the severity COVID-19 disease and its poor prognosis.
The Off-cardinal Alignment of Chiang Mai’s City Plan in Relation to the Orion’s Belt

Published: April 2024

Chiang Mai, the largest city in northern Thailand, was once the capital of the ancient Lanna kingdom, founded by King Mangrai on 19 April 1296 (Gregorian).  The historic city plan, which may have been influenced by Vaastu Shastra (an ancient Hindu knowledge of architecture), features almost a square shape with each side length ranging from 1.52 -1.57 kilometers, bordered by four walls facing the cardinal directions. However, a careful examination reveals that the east-west orientation of the city plan is tilted southeastward with an azimuth of 92.5°, prompting further investigation as to which method was used in the city’s orientation. Historically, two ways to lay out the directions were via the gnomon, such as the shortest shadow and the Indian circle methods, and via fixed stars. In this work, we carried out year-long measurements of the shortest shadow and the Indian circle methods and discovered that neither resulted in an error greater than 0.7°, allowing us to consider the orientation method as being associated with specific fixed stars.  A theodolite and a GPS were used to identify the orientation axis along the northern city wall, calibrated using the positional astronomy program Stellarium. Using precession-corrected Stellarium, the ancient sky can be simulated to uncover the aligned star at the same azimuth as Mintaka (δ Ori) in the Orion’s Belt at a height of 4° and possibly Alnilam (ε Ori) at a height of 1.5° (under an apparent sky condition) during the period between 1292 and 1296, which is close to when King Mangrai founded the city.
Pyrolysis of Latex Sediment from Concentrated Latex Industry and Properties of Pyrolytic Products

Published: April 2024

Concentrated latex is an intermediate rubber product in Thailand. It is an important industry that generates income for the country and Its southern region. The main products of the latex factory were concentrated latex and skim blocks. The industrial waste from the concentrated latex factory is called latex sediment. It appears to be a white mixed light-yellow sludge or a dark brown color, contains magnesium compounds, and phosphorus is an important element. Therefore, finding appropriate measures for rubber production and environmentally friendly industrial waste management is important. Therefore, this study investigates the pyrolysis of latex sediment as an alternative to industrial waste management. Pyrolysis of 100 g of latex sediment was performed at 300 °C, 500 °C, and 700 °C. From the experiment, it was found that the properties of the liquid product from the pyrolysis process at 500 °C were alkaline, with a pH of 9.45. However, acetic acid was the highest amount of organic substance in the liquid product. Substances in the amine and amide groups were also observed, a base result for the liquid product exhibiting an alkaline value. The pH is an important factor in the decomposition of organic substances under anaerobic conditions. Therefore, a 1 wt% liquid product was used in a volume of 13.5 mL, which is the most appropriate amount because it uses the least amount of liquid product to adjust the alkalinity of the skim latex serum before entering the anaerobic fermentation system. Pyrolysis is an environmentally friendly option for managing factory latex sediments for sustainable production and creating a good image for the organization.
Gid Crypto: Application for End-to-End Encrypt and Decrypt E-mail and Data
Authors: Jean Alain , Alherbe Tossaporn
Published: April 2024

Privacy and security in our digital environment have become essential today. Some data stored on hard disks, in flash memory, or exchanged through our communication channels is sensitive and should be kept confidential. Additionally, documents containing confidential information, such as business algorithms or new application coding, require adequate measures to ensure privacy and security. Therefore, data encryption is crucial in protecting information from being intercepted, misused, or stolen. While encryption tools are available for business e-mails, using these tools often requires subscribing as a member and paying extra fees. Effective tools are not limited to e-mail alone. Still, they can also be applied to any text data that requires a high level of security and complexity to ensure the protection of the data for a duration longer than it needs to be safeguarded. Our research aims to develop a stand-alone application that encrypts data to ensure its confidentiality without additional subscriptions or fees. The application is designed to be user-friendly, with fast encryption and decryption capabilities. It can be used not only for encrypting and decrypting e-mail messages but also for programming languages and Excel data. The application development utilizes techniques such as Diffe-Hellman, Mersenne Twister, and AES, arranged in layers to generate complex ciphertext that is difficult to decrypt without the developed application. LabVIEW was used for testing encryption speed. The attempt to attack encrypted data was subjected, but the result yielded no successful key retrieval.

Published: April 2024

This research aims to assess the environmental feasibility of a wind power plant by investigating its noise disturbances, shadow flicker, and zones of visual influence. The model is applied as a case study for a 50 MW wind power plant, located in the Nakhon Ratchasima province of northeastern Thailand.  The acoustic noise emissions were analyzed using the sound propagation and absorption models under the wind conditions on the site studied.  The shadow flicker around each wind turbine generator, in terms of the number of hours per year, was also simulated along with the analysis of the zones of visual influence according to the number of wind turbines that can be seen by an observer from a certain distance.  The results show a maximum sound level of 47 dBA, within the allowed limits of the 50 dBA legislation of the Department of Pollution Control of the Royal Thai Government.  Similarly, the shadow flicker within 1 km of the wind turbines is 10 hours/year, well below the international standard of 30 hours/year.  Results of the zones of visual influence indicate that between 15 and 20 turbines are visible from observation points surrounding the potential wind power plant.  The results applied to this case study suggest that the potential wind power plant is well-suited regarding its environmental impacts and should typically not incur negative impacts for the local communities. Studies like these are vital to gaining the trust of the communities living near wind power plants to address their concerns and minimize opposition.

Vandana Shiva: Ecofeminista y pionera del posthumanismo ético
Authors: Núñez-Puente Carolina
Published: April 2024

Vandana Shiva se encuentra entre las ecofeministas más conocidas dentro y fuera del mundo académico. Este artículo examinará las propuestas de algunas de sus obras—Staying Alive: Women, Ecology, and Development (1988), Ecofeminism (coescrito con Maria Mies, 1993), Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability and Peace (2005) y Terra Viva: My Life in a Biodiversity of Movements (2022)—junto con los principios del posthumanismo ético. En cuanto al último, me apoyaré en el trabajo de Stacy Alaimo, Karen Barad, Jane Bennet, Rosi Braidotti y Donna Haraway. Mi análisis mostrará que las ideas de Shiva anticipan y dialogan con las de las autoras mencionadas. Por tanto, evaluaré cuestiones tales como: la crítica a la jerarquía humano/no humano, especialmente entre mujeres privilegiadas y no privilegiadas; la sabiduría ecológica de las mujeres tribales; el llamado mundo natural como ejemplo de relaciones éticas; la importancia de la cooperación, el cuidado y el amor para sostener la vida; la capacidad agente y la subjetividad de lo no humano; y la interconexión entre lo humano y lo no humano. En definitiva, el artículo espera demostrar que la obra de Shiva prevé el posthumanismo ético.

Childhood in foster care institutions in Central Pomerania between 1945 and 1975
Authors: Apanel Danuta
Published: April 2024

The study provides an overview of the situation of children, victims of the war nightmare, who found themselves in foster care institutions in Central Pomerania after the end of the Second World War. The post-war period of development of these institutions was very diverse. It was associated with the social, political, administrative and economic changes that were taking place in Poland at the time. In the difficult conditions of life in the Recovered Territories, care activities for abandoned children were carried out by childcare and educational institutions, health care, daycare, and aid institutions of different natures. The aim of the study is to show the theoretical assumptions and practical contexts concerning the child and childhood in the space of foster care institutions in Central Pomerania in the years 1945–1975 and the transformations taking place in these institutions, which had an impact on the quality of childhood of the pupils/foster children.The main research problem of this study is contained in the question: How did the areas of childhood (economic, social-emotional, learning, preparation for independent living) change in foster care institutions in Central Pomerania in the context of the State’s welfare policy between 1945 and 1975?Verifying the research assumption was mainly done using archival document analysis and interviews. The study fills a gap in the regional literature in this scope and provides a basis for further in-depth research.
The impact of a child’s suicide on family structure and relationships between its members
Authors: Sowińska Danuta , Kołodziej Kosma
Published: April 2024

The main objective of this article is to analyse the available literature on the impact of a child’s suicide on family structure and relationships between family members. The available literature from 1976-2021 was analysed. The analysis showed that families abandoned after the suicide death of a family member experience feelings of hurt, denial, shock and anger, resentment, shame and guilt. Social ostracism affects the social exclusion of families affected by the suicide death of a child, who are deprived of adequate support from institutions and the community. Bereaved families, being in shock and confusion at the beginning of their bereavement, had no one to turn to for help. The sudden death of a child by suicide leads to a deepening of the trauma and makes the grieving process impossible. People who have suffered a loss feel the need to give the death some meaning. The results of the literature search are, however, not satisfactory, contributing to my own research in terms of the family’s experience of bereavement following the death of their child by suicide. The findings show little development in the topic of postvention following the suicide death of a child. There is no public education on this subject.

La ansiedad hacia las matemáticas es un indicador que afecta el rendimiento académico y la actitud de los estudiantes hacia esta disciplina. Investigaciones previas han identificado este problema en diversos entornos educativos. Esta puede manifestarse a través de actitudes negativas, rechazo a la materia, bloqueos cognitivos y emocionales. Para abordar esta problemática, es importante integrar estrategias prácticas dentro del contexto pedagógico. En este sentido se plantea una propuesta didáctica dirigida a estudiantes de décimo año de educación general básica. Esta propuesta busca atender la ansiedad matemática y reducirla, creando un entorno de aprendizaje más significativo. En este estudio, se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado para medir la ansiedad en matemáticas a los estudiantes. Se evaluó la confiabilidad del instrumento mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach (α = 0.94). La recolección de datos se realizó con 42 participantes, combinando métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los resultados demostraron una distribución equilibrada por género y proporcionaron información detallada sobre los niveles de ansiedad reportados. Se identificaron diferencias significativas entre géneros y se resaltó la importancia de diseñar intervenciones pedagógicas para abordar la ansiedad en matemáticas. Para la propuesta didáctica se considera la metodología activa apoyada en la integración de herramientas tecnológicas como Wordwall, Phet Simulations y GeoGebra aplicadas a la enseñanza de funciones lineales que permitirán mejorar la comprensión y reducir la ansiedad en los estudiantes. Estos recursos hicieron los conceptos matemáticos más accesibles, aumentando la confianza y disminuyendo el estrés asociado con la resolución de problemas. En conclusión, esta metodología promovió un aprendizaje efectivo y una actitud positiva hacia las matemáticas.

Published: April 2024

El uso de agroquímicos ha generado una serie de consecuencias ambientales: erosión de suelos, contaminación del aire y de agua subterránea y superficial debido al arrastre y lixiviación de residuos de plaguicidas en forma de vapor y partículas sólidas, de modo que resulta indispensable implementar métodos que aminoren dichos impactos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue conocer la importancia de la agroecología en la mitigación de impactos ambientales derivados del uso de agroquímicos. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica a través de una búsqueda de artículos incluidos en bases de datos científicos, se obtuvieron 13 documentos que permitieron construir 4 categorías: Impactos ambientales asociados al uso de agroquímicos, fundamentos de la agroecología, la agroecología en Ecuador y beneficios ambientales de la agroecología. El análisis de estos artículos indica que, es necesario que las actividades agrícolas se desarrollen bajo un modelo agroecológico para mejorar la calidad del ambiente y preservar la biodiversidad.

Background: Despite Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma being one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in India, knowledge about these diseases among healthcare professionals seems inadequate. Aims: This study aimed to assess the knowledge gained by medical and paramedical staff in the prevention and management of COPD and asthma following a two-day training program. Settings and methods: This quasi-experimental (before-after) study was carried out among medical and paramedical staff of public health systems of the government of India in three training centers in Maharashtra. Aquestionnaire was given in the form of a pre-test before a two-day training program. The training was comprised of prevention and management of COPD and asthma. After completion of training, a post-test was given, and scores were calculated. Statistical analysis: A two-tailed paired sample t-test was used to assess knowledge gain. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 77 participants completed both pre-test and post-test before and after the training programme. Twenty-Five (32.5%) were female and 52 (67.5%) were male. The mean age of participants was 42.7± 7.9 years. The majority (92.2%) of the participants were medical professionals. Only nine participants (11.7%) had ever attended a training program on COPD or asthma. The mean pre-test score was 14.68±3.88, while the mean post-test score was 25.60±6.52. There was a statistically significant improvement in knowledge scores at all three training centers, among both genders and across all qualifications (p<0.001). Conclusion: Adequate training of medical and para-medical staff in public health systems across the country can result in effective and timely diagnosis, treatment, and referral for patients with COPD and Asthma. This will ensure a reduction in the social and economic burden of disease.

ORGANIZATION OF CONSOLIDATION OF EDUCATIONAL KNOWLEDGE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF SCHOOL SUBJECTS OF THE SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN CYCLE)
Authors:   Lugansk State Pedagogical University, Dyatlova E.N.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the didactic foundations of the organization of the stage of consolidation of socio-humanitarian knowledge by secondary school students in order to digestion them. Modern psychological and pedagogical approaches to the consideration of the essence of the process of memorization and consolidation of knowledge are presented and traditional and innovative techniques and methods of consolidating educational ma- terial are described as well. The publication contains a description of experimental work designed to improve the process of consolidating knowledge in the lessons of subjects of the socio-humanitarian cycle. The actual problem of conducting experimental work is determined as the identification of effective techniques and methods of consolidat- ing of socio-humanitarian knowledge, normatively fixed by general education programs. It was assumed that the solution of the presented problem would allow not only to determine the effectiveness of individual techniques and methods of consolidating socio-humanitarian knowledge, but also, in general, would allow for the solid assimilation of the program content in the practice of school education. The course of experimental work including the ascertain- ing, forming and control stages is described. The main project that was carried out at the formative stage consisted in the application of techniques and methods for consolidating socio-humanitarian knowledge of a reproducing na- ture as memorization, retelling, reproduction, and repetition. Productive nature contains conversation, observation, interaction with a textbook, performing exercises and tasks and associative-intellectual nature includes association of images, grouping of material into categories, the use of words that promote memorization, the use of schemes and the use of logical chains. The intermediate and final results of the experimental work are presented on the basis of the establishment of criteria and levels of determining the quality of consolidation of socio-humanitarian knowl- edge. The dynamics of improving the quality of knowledge consolidation is proved as a result of the application of techniques and methods of consolidation of a productive nature. The prospects of applying techniques and methods of fixing associative-intellectual character are recognized.

Authors: Kılıçarpa Ulaş Aytaç
Published: April 2024

Egzoz supapları büyük mekanik ve termal yüklere, ayrıca motor ömrü boyunca yüksek çevrimli yorulmaya maruz kalan son derece önemli parçalardır. Emisyon normlarının her geçen gün daha sıkı hale gelmesi, daha yüksek yanma sıcaklıklarını ve basınçlarını beraberinde getirmektedir. Artan yanma sıcaklıkları ve basınçlarına ilk maruz kalan parçalardan biri egzoz supaplarıdır. Dolayısıyla supaplara aktarılan ısının daha kolay transfer edilmesi, supap üzerindeki sıcaklık dağılımının iyileştirilmesi ve supapların maruz kaldığı yüklerin azaltılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, sodyum katkılı ve mono-metalik egzoz supaplarıyla ayrı ayrı termal testler yapılarak, bunların sonuçları karşılaştırılmış ve sodyum katkılı supaplarda tabla ve boyun bölgesindeki sıcaklıkların 100-120 °C daha düşük olduğu ölçülmüştür.
