Interference in English managerial discourse exemplified by business cases
Authors: Gabets A. A.
Published: January 2025

The article studies the aspects of discourse interaction in the field of managerial discourse from the perspective of linguosynergetics. The author examines 75 case studies published in Harvard Business Review from 2006 to 2024. The aims of the research are to reveal the types of discourses that are included in managerial discourse of case studies most often, to describe their qualities, lexical markers and the reasons for inclusion, to analyze their influence on the development of discourse in general. Discourse interference is analyzed through the prism of the linguosynergetic approach, which is based on the principle of non-linearity, and sense multiplication effects as a result of interaction of discourses and which describes the appearance of new senses and new opportunities for development of the discourses based on their coexistence and interaction. Their typical lexico-semantic fields, key words and clichés mark the genres of discourses. Methods of descriptive, discourse, context and pragma linguistic analysis are used in the research. The author concludes that discourse interaction is typical of managerial discourse in general, and elements of educational, medical, political and ecological discourses appear in the managerial genre more often than others, however, the reasons for the inclusion are unique for every type of discourse, and qualitative and quantitative variety of lexical markers is also different. Despite the biggest number of inclusions (45 %) the elements of educational discourse make little impact on the managerial discourse pragma semantic system, whereas medical (27 %), political (14 %), ecological (14 %) genres can destabilize the system of discourse in its initial mode and change the direction of its development.

Authors: Sokolova V. Yu.
Published: January 2025

In educational institutions, much attention is paid to educational, physical education and health work, focusing on optimizing and maintaining the health of students. And such an aspect of influence on the formation of health-preserving competence of children as the health and psychophysical state of the teacher himself is underestimated. However, insufficient understanding of the future teacher of the value of their own health, the lack of skills in applying health-preserving technologies on their own life experience leads to a low level of culture of their own health, which will have negative consequences during future professional activity. This article considers the issue of the need to create a special educational environment for students of pedagogical universities, which will promote both motivation for a healthy lifestyle and the formation of practical skills in health preservation. The work describes the experience of teachers of the Department of Physical Education and Health Protection of the Donetsk State Pedagogical University named after V. Shatalov in reorganizing the content of classes in order to understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle as an integral part of the general and professional culture of a teacher by future teachers.
Professional training of students by means of teaching reading in large classes model
Authors: Ashraf M. , Memon R. A. , Ahmed A. , Shevchenko V. D.
Published: January 2025

The students of Sindh University, Campus Dadu have a generally low level of English competence, notably in reading. This is primarily due to the large number of students in each class, more than sixty. The study aims to learn more about large courses and the teaching of reading in those classes in order to better understand and analyze the difficulty of teaching reading in large classes. This study is qualitative research. Simple convenient random data were collected via interviews, observations and field notes. Six teachers were interviewed and twelve classes were observed, each class of 50 minutes totaling 10 hours. Besides, field notes were taken and twenty-five students were interviewed. Coleman created a coding system that was used to examine the data in his investigation into huge classes in Indonesia. The educational environment of Sindh University is similar to that in Indonesia. The information was thematically examined. According to the data, the primary issue is class size, which encourages professors to take a dominant position and leaves pupils mostly passive. Observations of the classes showed that the professors carried out and explained the reading, while the pupils only remained on the receiving end. The teachers continued to have authority over the text. Further evidence from the study points to teachers’ ignorance of reading theories and instructional strategies. Additionally, this calls for assessing the class size, upgrading the instructional materials, and giving teachers professional development opportunities. All public sector degree-awarding institutions where the large class phenomena is popular would benefit from the study’s findings.

This article presents the features of mastering the academic discipline “Physical Education and Sport” by
university distance students, as well as problems related to its teaching. Some trends in the development of educational
systems related to the use of information technologies, in particular, distance learning and a blended form of organization
of the educational process, as the most promising, are considered. It was assumed that the use of blended learning
would ensure an increase in the success of solving educational problems of the discipline “Physical Education and Sport”,
taught to distance students. To test this assumption, a pedagogical experiment was conducted, in which distance students
participated, divided into control and experimental groups of 20 people each. In the experimental group, the educational
process was organized using blended learning, in the control group – in the traditional form. During this pedagogical
experiment, it was found that distance students who mastered the discipline “Physical Education and Sport” using the
blended form of education showed better theoretical knowledge, as well as methodological and practical skills in the field
of physical culture and sports compared to the distance students who mastered it in the traditional way. As a result of the
conducted research, high efficiency of blended learning in mastering the academic discipline “Physical Education and Sport”
by distant students has been established.

Authors: Zamanian Maryam , Moradzadeh Rahmatollah
Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives: Indirect methods for estimating hidden populations are essential. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of cigarette and waterpipe consumption in the Arak metropolis, Iran, directly and indirectly through network scale-up.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,604 participants. Daily and weekly cigarette and waterpipe consumption data were collected to measure the prevalence directly. The indirect network scale-up method was used to estimate the size of cigarette and hookah smokers. A confidence interval of 95% was considered.
Results: About 49.9% of the participants were men. The average age of men was 39.8 and women 38.7 years. In the direct method, the prevalence of smoking at least one cigarette per day during the last year in women and men was 1.8% (1.0-3.0) and 38.3% (34.9-41.9), respectively. The prevalence of using waterpipe at least once a day during the last year was as much as 0.9% (0.03-1.8) and 4.1% (2.8-5.7) for women and men. In the indirect method of network scale-up during the last year, the prevalence of continuous smoking was 4.8% (4.3-5.0) in women and 19.7% (19.6-19.9) in men. The prevalence of waterpipe in women was calculated at 7.8% (7.8-8.0) and 9.8% (9.7-9.9) in men.
Conclusion: Based on the results, the prevalence of waterpipe and cigarette smoking was high in the Arak, especially among young people. It is suggested to the health system policymakers to pay attention to measures related to reducing the prevalence of these two risk factors, especially among young people, in their health plans.
Prevalenza di steatosi epatica in HIV e fattori di rischio correlati.
Authors: Brogna Valeria , al. et
Published: January 2025

La malattia epatica associata a disfunzione metabolica (MASLD) è divenuta la forma più comune di epatopatia cronica nella popolazione generale e nelle persone con infezione da HIV (PWH). L’elevata prevalenza di MASLD nelle PWH è dovuta, oltre a fattori metabolici comuni alla popolazione generale, a fattori correlati all’infezione da HIV, compresa la terapia antiretrovirale (TARV).
A causa di differenti metodi di selezione della popolazione e delle metodiche diagnostiche adoperate, la prevalenza di MASLD nelle PWH è molto variabile negli studi presenti in letteratura. Dati provenienti da recenti metanalisi sono però concordi nel dimostrare un’elevata percentuale di PWH affette da MASLD anche nella regione europea. Una caratteristica peculiare nelle PWH sembra essere una maggiore prevalenza di steatosi epatica nelle persone con BMI < 25 kg/m². Tra i fattori HIV-relati, il peso della TARV nella steatogenesi epatica è ancora oggetto di dibattito: alcuni studi propongono un ruolo di tenofovir alafenamide e inibitori delle integrasi nelle PWH, ma le evidenze presenti in letteratura sono ad oggi contrastanti.
Pochi studi hanno analizzato la storia naturale della MASLD nelle PWH, alcuni dei quali hanno evidenziato un tasso di progressione maggiore rispetto alla coinfezione HIV-HCV. La MASLD inoltre sembra essere strettamente relata ad altre complicanze cardiometaboliche nelle PWH.
Sono poche le strategie terapeutiche approvate per il trattamento della MASLD nelle PWH e non sono noti gli effetti di nuovi farmaci contro la steatosi in questo specifico setting di pazienti.
“Ho uno stato di salute complicato…e l’infezione da HIV sta proprio lì in mezzo”: uno studio qualitative su come gli anziani..
Authors: P. Pack et al. Allison
Published: January 2025

Condizioni corniche associate all’età sono in aumento tra gli adulti anziani con HIV. Le multimorbidità complicano la cura non solo dal punto di vista del paziente, sebbene si sappia poco su come gli adulti anziani con HIV e condizioni corniche multiple (MCC) diano priorità e gestiscano le proprie situazioni.
Questo studio affronta tale lacuna nella ricerca.
Uno studio qualitativo esplorativo è stato condotto tra gli anziani con HIV e MCC. Le linee guida per l’intervista sono state sviluppate usando una revisione della letteratura. Le interviste individuali, condotte da remoto da coordinatori della ricerca addestrati nei metodi qualitativi, sono state audioregistrate e trascritte. L’analisi tematica è stata disegnata usando il Framework Method. Un totale di 30 partecipanti è stato arruolato da due centri clinici accademici a Chicago, Illinois, e Chapel Hill, North Carolina, e da un centro clinico di comunità a Raleigh, Carolina. L’età media dei partecipanti era di 63 anni; metà si identificata come Black e due terzi come maschio.
L’analisi tematica mostrava: 1) misurarsi con le MCC è comune e complicato; 2) la priorità data alle diverse condizioni varia secondo l’importanza percepita e la difficoltà di gestione; 3) la gestione delle visite può essere complesso; 4) le MCC possono rendere difficile aderire ai trattamenti farmacologici; 5) l’insicurezza abitativa ha un impatto negativo sulle visite e sull’aderenza alle medicazioni, e 6) la preoccupazione per le interazioni avverse da farmaci e per le conseguenze indesiderate è comune. In conclusione, la cura centrata sulla persona e un supporto aggiuntivo sono necessari per gli adulti anziani con multimorbidità.

Lithium metal batteries are considered highly promising candidates for the next-generation high-energy storage system. However, the growth of lithium dendrites significantly hinders their advance, particularly under high current densities, due to the formation of unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers. In this study, we demonstrate that molybdenum-based MXenes, including Mo2CTx , Mo2TiC2Tx , and Mo2Ti2C3Tx , form more stable LiF/Li2CO3 SEI layers during lithium plating, compared to the conventional Cu electrode. Among these, the bimetallic Mo2Ti2C3Tx MXene, with its higher fluorine terminations, produces the most stable LiF-rich SEI layer. The formation of this stable inorganic SEI layer significantly reduces the nucleation overpotential for lithium deposition, promotes uniform Li deposition, and suppresses dendrite growth. Consequently, the Mo2Ti2C3Tx substrate achieved prolonged cycling stability of approximately 544 cycles with coulombic efficiency of ~99.79% at high current density of 3 mA cm-2 and capacity of 1 mAh cm-2. In full cells, the Mo2Ti2C3Tx anode, paired with an NCM622 cathode, maintained capacity retention of 70% over 100 cycles with high cathode loading of 10 mg cm-2. Our approach highlights the potential of Mo-based MXenes to improve the performance of lithium metal batteries, making them promising candidates for the next-generation energy storage system.

A biocompatible integrated bladder electronics for wireless capacity monitoring assessment
Authors: Duan Lin , Jin Ming-Liang
Published: January 2025

The real-time assessment and personalized monitoring of human bladder status is important for individuals with involuntary voiding, overactive bladder and bladder disorders such as urinary incontinence. To address the shortcomings of traditional urodynamic methods where the equipment is bulky, complex, invasive, expensive and unable to continuously monitor bladder status, and to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and family members to know the patient’s bladder capacity, this paper designs the biocompatible integrated bladder electronics for wireless capacity monitoring assessment. The device employs chitosan, which exhibits favorable biocompatibility, to fabricate patch electrodes, and optimizes their performance through the plasticizing effect of glycerol, with a polarization resistance of 4.8983 kΩ, a maximum tensile force of up to 107.5 kPa, and remains chemically stable for long-term wear. The principle of bioelectrical impedance analysis is employed to integrate a hardware system comprising multiple modules, including a microcontroller, information processing, communication, display and power supply. After the integrated system design is completed with electrodes connected and encapsulated, data on bladder electrical impedance changes is gathered and transmitted wirelessly to the user interface for non-invasive real-time monitoring and intelligent assessment of bladder capacity. The experimental results demonstrate a high correlation between human bladder electrical impedance and bladder volume, with a systematic measurement correlation coefficient reaching 96.7%. The research equipment is portable, simple to operate, and radiation-free to the human body. It has significant potential for real-time monitoring and intelligent alarm of bladder capacity.

Implementasi Steganografi Dengan Menggunakan Metode Masking And Filtering Untuk Menyisipkan Pesan Ke Dalam Spectrogram Audio
Authors: Kusuma Permadi , Prayudi Yudi
Published: January 2025

Pada saat mengirim pesan kepada pihak tertentu dan tidak ingin pesan tersebut diketahui oleh pihak lain, maka penting untuk menghindari kebocoran informasi. Namun masalah yang teridentifikasi adalah terdapat kekurangan pengetahuan untuk mendeteksi Steganografi audio yang membutuhkan teknik metode yang dapat membaca dan melihat pesan rahasia. Salah satu metode yang bisa dipakai dalam steganografi adalah Masking And Filtering. Masking sebagai media penanda pada audio yang dapat menyisipkan pesan. Filtering memberikan nilai pada bagian yang sudah diberikan tanda.  Metode ini salah satu yang sering digunakan karena sederhana, cepat dalam proses penyisipan data, serta memiliki kapasitas penyimpanan yang cukup besar. Metode Masking And Filtering mampu menyembunyikan pesan dengan cara menyisipkan kedalam Spectrogram audio sebagai media penyimpan.  Filter digunakan untuk memastikan pesan tersembunyi berada dalam rentang frekuensi yang telah dianalisis sebelumnya, sehingga membuat manusia tidak dapat mendengar dengan jelas audio tambahan yang sudah disisipkan yang merupakan pesan tersembunyi.  Setelah penyisipan selesai, file audio disimpan dan dilakukan pengujian untuk memastikan bahwa kualitas audio tidak terganggu dan pesan tersembunyi tetap tidak terdeteksi seperti melakukan modifikasi pada file stego untuk menguji ketahanan dan keamanan pesan rahasia. Berdasarkan penelitian, steganografi sulit dideteksi oleh mata telanjang, untuk mengambil pesan yang sudah  disembunyikan, maka bisa dilakukan dengan menampilkan Spectrogram audio yang terdapat pesan rahasia. Cara  melihat pesan yang disembunyikan menggunakan aplikasi Audacity yang dapat melihat gelombang suara. Hasilnya pesan yang disematkan pada audio tidak mengalami kerusakan meskipun sudah dilakukan kompresi, pemotongan, dan sebagian proses yang dilakukan dalam audio.
A Mathematical Review on EEG Channel Selection Techniques for Motor Imagery Classification
Authors: Lee Seungjun
Published: January 2025

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology is recently being spotlighted as the performance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) increased drastically. Although there are several instruments to measure brain's activity, Electroencephalography(EEG) signal is in limelight as it has high temporal resolution and is non-invasive, while being extremely portable. However, the raw EEG signals can not be directly used in BCI systems as it includes a lot of artifacts, and has numerous channels. Therefore, selecting only the needed channels and rejecting ones that include big noises are crucial to increase the performance of classification. Motor Imagery EEG (MI-EEG) is a type of EEG where subjects imagine that they are moving their body. MI-EEG channel selection techniques can be divided into two big groups: Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) based models and non-CSP based models. Therefore in this paper, we introduce the models classified in the criteria above, using detailed and strict mathematical terms, and compare each approach's accuracies.

Pressure Injury（PI） are localized damages to the skin or underlying soft tissues typically caused by intense and/or prolonged pressure, shearing, friction, or combination of these factors. The wound is difficult to heal and easily leads to infection and other complications. The repair of PI has become a global health problem. This paper describes the preparation and characterization of Graphene Oxide (GO)/Alginate (Alg) gel-loaded Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and the effects of GO/Alg/PRP on cell proliferation and angiogenesis have been evaluated by cell experiments. The effects of GO/Alg/PRP on the Ischemic Reperfusion (I/R) model in mice were evaluated in animal experiments, and the relationship between oxidative stress and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (P38MAPK)/ Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway was investigated. GO/Alg, PRP and GO/Alg/PRP all promote cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, wound healing, collagen deposition and epithelial regeneration, and reduce oxidative stress damage of cells and tissues. Among these, GO/Alg/PRP plays the most significant role. We also found a relationship between oxidative stress and the p38MAPK/NF-κB pathway. Our findings suggest that GO/Alg/PRP could be an effective strategy for the treatment of I/R injuries and may serve as a basis for the development of novel PRP based bioactive wound dressings.

Published: January 2025

The construction industry in Kuwait is experiencing a transformative shift with the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, particularly BIM 6D for sustainability analysis and 7D for facility management. This study investigates the integration of these dimensions to address sustainability challenges in Kuwait’s construction sector, aligning practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through qualitative interviews with 15 stakeholders—including architects, engineers, and contractors—and analysis of industry reports, policies, and case studies, the research identifies both opportunities and barriers to BIM adoption. While BIM offers significant potential for lifecycle analysis, waste reduction, and energy efficiency, its adoption remains limited, with only 27% of construction waste recycled. Challenges include high initial costs, a shortage of skilled personnel, and resistance to change. The study highlights actionable strategies, including enhanced regulatory frameworks, university curriculum integration, and professional training programs led by the Kuwait Society of Engineers, to address these barriers. It also emphasizes the critical role of collaboration among government bodies, industry leaders, and institutions like the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research. Drawing from successful international BIM projects, the findings offer a practical framework for improving sustainability in arid regions, positioning Kuwait’s experience as a model for other Middle Eastern and North African countries. This research underscores the transformative role of BIM technologies in advancing global sustainable construction practices and achieving a more efficient and eco-friendly future.

This study aims to examine the issue of coastal communities that have not been successfully empowered, through a collaborative framework of Triple Helix (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff 1995). Based on a study that has been conducted in Hamlet IV, Kuala Indah Village, Sei Suka District, Batubara Regency using the action research method to the seekers and shellers as respondents, it was found that their socio-economic level is still low. Their low level of education, income, and proficiency requires intervention through collaboration with the Triple Helix model from parties who are members of academia (University of North Sumatra), village government (Kuala Indah Village), and industry (PT. Inalum). Through collaboration, the community can be assisted socio-economically, in increasing their capacity to be trained in innovative treatment so that there is active involvement in the treatment and utilization of various coastal wastes, which the initiation of knowledge transfer is facilitated by the university. The results of the analysis show that university innovations directed at community development can bring changes in socio-economic practices so that they can reflect the actual needs of local communities. The survey results show that fishing families looking for and shellfish peelers need new skills that can be used as entrepreneurial ideas that have never been given by the government. Strong cooperation between the roles of triple helix actors in this model can produce alternative jobs for fishing families based on innovations provided through the management of coastal waste into calcium innovation products which can then lead to overall poverty alleviation.

Predicting Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) information and confidence levels is needed to enhance green light optimal speed advisory (GLOSA) and/or Eco-Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (Eco-CACC) systems. This study proposes an architecture based on transformer encoders to improve prediction performance. This architecture is combined with different deep learning methods, including Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), Long-Short-Term Memory neural networks (LSTM), and Convolutional Long-Short Term Memory neural networks (CNNLSTM) to form an ensemble of predictors. The ensemble is used to make data-driven predictions of SPaT information for six different intersections along the Gallows Road corridor in Virginia. The study outlines three primary tasks. Task one is predicting whether a phase would change within 20 seconds. Task two is predicting the exact change time within 20 seconds. Task three is assigning a confidence level to that prediction. The experiments show that the proposed transformer-based architecture outperforms all the previously used deep learning methods for the first two prediction tasks. For the first task, the transformer encoder model provides an average accuracy of 96%. For task two, the transformer encoder models provided an average mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.49 seconds, compared to 1.63 seconds for other models. Consensus between models is shown to be a good leading indicator of confidence in ensemble predictions. The ensemble predictions with the highest level of consensus are within one second of the true value for 90.2% of the time as opposed to those with the lowest confidence level, which are within one second for only 68.4% of the time.

Wheat Black Point, a seed-borne disease caused by Alternaria alternata, significantly impacts wheat production, reducing yield and quality. This study combined experimental and in silico approaches to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides against the esterase domain of A. alternata. Field trials assessed fungicide performance and optimal dosages, while laboratory analyses tested fungal susceptibility using the agar well diffusion method. Computational modeling, including AlphaFold 2 and molecular docking, investigated fungicide binding mechanisms. Leveraging machine learning and Explainable AI (XAI) techniques, this study integrates SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) interaction values with XGBoost, a robust gradient boosting algorithm, to analyze the interaction of temperature, humidity, and precipitation with various pesticides in controlling Black Point Disease in wheat. By employing 1000 Monte Carlo simulations, the study provides a comprehensive evaluation of both individual and combined effects of these weather parameters on pesticide efficacy, offering a transparent and interpretable framework for optimizing pest control strategies. The findings revealed that Propiconazole (Tilt) demonstrated superior efficacy, with Dose 4 providing the highest disease suppression and yield improvement in field trials. Structural analysis of six fungal proteins revealed three important proteins, AFE1, AFE2, and AFE3. These proteins contain the Esterase_PHD domain, which is critical for the survival of fungi in host cells. Docking simulations identified robust interactions between Propiconazole and the C1 binding pocket of these proteins, yielding favorable Vina scores (-5.1 for AFAE1 and AFAE2; -4.7 for AFAE3). Results of SHAP indicated that the moisture-dependent pesticides (Propiconazole and Cymoxanil + Mancozeb), worked better under wet and humid climates, whereas region-specific pesticides (Metribuzine and Thiophanate-methyl), were effective in semi-arid and moderate climates. Adaptable pesticides, like Chlorothalonil + Metalaxyl-M and Sulfosulfuron, demonstrated consistent efficacy across variable climatic conditions. The integration of machine learning and AI tools with traditional agricultural practices is recommended to optimize fungicide application strategies. These findings highlight the critical role of tailoring pesticide application to regional environmental parameters to improve disease management strategies.
