El turismo alternativo como impulsor del cosmpolitismo
Authors:   Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina), Ramos Aldo
Published: January 2023

Cosmopolitanism is considered to be a way of life associated with travellers who are able to reach out to other societies. This approach produces greater tolerance, empathy, awareness and global belonging. This allows us to understand the world’s problems (environmental, economic, social) as our own and forces us to reflect on the need to become directly involved. But in order to achieve a cosmopolitan world, it is nec‑ essary to promote mechanisms. In this sense, tourism, which inevitably involves the movement of people, is an important driver of change. Obviously not just any form of tourism, but that which achieves a symbiotic relationship between visitor and host community. This is why alternative tourism should be encouraged as an instrument of cosmopolitanism. The aim then is to reflect on the benefits of developing a cosmopolitan society and how alternative tourism could contribute to this philosophy of life.

Published: January 2023

В работе представлены результаты исследований пористой структуры промышленных образцов адсорбентовцеолита NaX (со связующим), активного оксида алюминия АОА и влагостойкого силикагеля GP-SORB WS на анализаторе ASAP 2020 «Micromeritics». Найдены характеристики пористой структуры сорбентов, такие как, удельная поверхность, объем пор, размер пор и распределение пор по размерам. Характеристики пористой структуры адсорбентов рассчитаны по изотермам низкотемпературной (77К) адсорбции-десорбции азота. По дифференциальному распределению объема пор по размерам в диапазоне до 500 Å, выявлено, что у адсорбента NaX в большей мере преобладают поры с размерами меньше 20Å, тогда как у адсорбентов АОА и GP-SORB WS характерным является преобладание мезопор. Наибольшей величиной удельной поверхности обладает адсорбент NaX в сравнении с АОА и GP-SORB WS, что связано с его более тонкопористой и однородной структурой. Для цеолита NaX изучено влияние влагосодержания на изменение характеристик его пористой структуры. Установлено, что удельная поверхность, общий объём пор, а также объёмы макро-, мезо и микропор цеолита NaХ в зависимости от его влагосодержания уже при незначительном содержании сорбированной влаги существенно уменьшаются.

The paper presents the results of studies of the porous structure of industrial samples of adsorbents NaX zeolite (with a binder), active alumina AOA and moisture-resistant silica gel GP-SORB WS on the ASAP 2020 Micromeritics analyzer.The characteristics of the porous structure of sorbents, such as specific surface area, pore volume, pore size, and pore size distribution, have been found. The characteristics of the porous structure of the adsorbents were calculated from the isotherms of low-temperature (77 K) adsorption-desorption of nitrogen. According to the differential distribution of pore volume by size in the range up to 500 Å, it was found that the NaX adsorbent is dominated by pores with sizes less than 20 Å, while the AOA and GP-SORB WS adsorbents are characterized by the predominance of mesopores. The NaX adsorbent has the highest specific surface area in comparison with AOA and GP-SORB WS, which is associated with its finer and more uniform structure. For NaX zeolite, the influence of moisture content on the change in the characteristics of its porous structure was studied. It has been established that the specific surface area, total pore volume, as well as the volumes of macro-, meso- and micropores of NaX zeolite, depending on its moisture content, significantly decrease even at a low content of sorbed moisture.

В данной работе представлены результаты разработки имитационной модели уборочных работ сельскохозяйственных культур в среде AnyLogic. Работа выполнена на данных конкретного землепользования по внутрихозяйственной логистике одного из предприятий Новосибирской области (ОС Элитная, р.п. Краснообск: 54°54'57"с.ш., 82°57'6"в.д.). В основу модели заложены математические зависимости сроков созревания основных сельскохозяйственных культур в зависимости от их требований к условиям теплообеспеченности территории (сумм температур воздуха ∑t>10ºC), а также выполнена кластеризация культур по их назначению (кормовые и зерновые). В основе расчётного модуля также использовали параметры машинно-технологического обеспечения предприятия: ширина жатки комбайнов, объем бункера комбайнов и кузовов обслуживающих транспортных средств (ОТС), площади участков, назначение и урожайность сельскохозяйственных культур. Описано построение структуры работы взаимодействия комбайнов с ОТС, учитывая их технические характеристики, фактические и прогнозные данные суточных метеопараметров. Продемонстрирована возможность использования имитационной среды AnyLogic для решения частных задач в области сельскохозяйственного производства. Имитационная модель может быть использована в качестве инструмента поддержки принятия решений при планировании тактики и стратегии проведения уборочных работ, а также оптимизации уборочно-транспортных процессов в растениеводстве.

This paper presents the results of the development of a simulation model of harvesting crops in the AnyLogic environment. The work was carried out on the data of a specific land use for on-farm logistics of one of the enterprises of the Novosibirsk region (Elite OS, Krasnoobsk: 54°54'57" s.w., 82°57'6" v.d.). The model is based on mathematical dependences of the maturation dates of the main crops depending on their requirements for the conditions of heat supply of the territory (sums of air temperatures ∑t>10ºC), and clustering of crops according to their purpose (fodder and grain) is also performed. The calculation module was also based on the parameters of the machine and technological support of the enterprise: the width of the harvester harvester, the volume of the hopper of the harvesters and the bodies of the servicing vehicles (OTS), the area of the plots, the purpose and yield of agricultural crops. The construction of the structure of the interaction of combines with OTS is described, taking into account their technical characteristics, actual and forecast data of daily meteorological parameters. The possibility of using the AnyLogic simulation environment for solving particular problems in the field of agricultural production is demonstrated. The simulation model can be used as a decision support tool when planning tactics and strategies for harvesting operations, as well as optimizing harvesting and transport processes in crop production.

Представлены результаты исследования механизма старения моторных масел при эксплуатации двигателей легковых автомобилей на моторных синтетических маслах Mobil Super 3000 X1 5W-40 SN/SM/CF и Kixx G1 5W-30 SN/CF за период от залива товарных масел до их слива при техническом обслуживании. Состояние моторных масел в процессе эксплуатации оценивалось по оптической плотности в зависимости от пробега, выраженного в километрах. Предложен критерий состояния работающих масел, определяемый произведением оптической плотности на пробег. Получены графические зависимости критерия состояния работающих масел от пробега, по которым определялись механизм старения, загрязненность масляной системы после замены масел и производительность системы фильтрации.

The paper presents the results of a study of the aging mechanism of motor oils during the operation of passenger car engines on synthetic motor oils Mobil Super 3000 X1 5W-40 SN/SM/CF and Kixx G1 5W-30 SN/CF for the period from filling in commercial oils to draining them during maintenance. The condition of motor oils during operation was assessed by optical density depending on the mileage, expressed in kilometers. A criterion for the state of working oils is proposed, which is determined by the product of optical density and mileage. Graphic dependences of the criterion of the state of operating oils on the mileage were obtained, which were used to determine the aging mechanism, the contamination of the oil system after oil change, and the performance of the filtration system.
Exploiting Molecular Symmetry to Quantitatively Map the Excited-State Landscape of Iron-Sulfur Clusters
Authors: Skeel Brighton , Suess Daniel
Published: January 2023

Cuboidal [Fe4S4] clusters are ubiquitous cofactors in biological redox chemistry. In the [Fe4S4]1+ state, pairwise spin coupling gives rise to six arrangements of the Fe valences (‘valence isomers’) amongst the four Fe centers. How a protein active site dictates the arrangement of the valences in the ground state, as well as the population of excited-state valence isomers, is poorly understood in part because of the magnetic complexity of these systems. Here, we show that the ground-state valence isomer landscape can be simplified from a six-level system in an asymmetric protein environment to a two-level system by studying the problem in synthetic clusters [Fe4S4]1+ clusters with solution C3v symmetry. This simplification allows for the small energy differences between valence isomers (sometimes < 0.1 kcal/mol) to be quantified by simultaneously fitting the VT NMR and solution magnetic moment data. Using this fitting protocol, we map the excited state landscape for a range of clusters of the form [(SIMes)3Fe4S4–X/L]n, (SIMes = 1,3-dimesityl-imidazol-4,5-dihydro-2-ylidene; n = 0 for anionic, X-type ligands, and n = +1 for neutral, L-type ligands) and find that a single ligand substitution can alter the relative energies of valence isomers by at least 103 cm–1. On this basis, we suggest that one result of ‘non-canonical’ amino acid ligation in Fe–S proteins is to alter the distribution of the valence electrons in the manifold of thermally populated excited states.

The study was carried out in Tokha Municipality of Kathmandu district from April, 2020 to June, 2020 to map the value chain of potatoes and assess the productivity and profitability within the existing value chain. Altogether 50 potato producers were selected along with 5 aggregators, 5 wholesalers, 5 retailers and 10 consumers using the random purposive sampling technique. The primary data were collected through field survey, focus group discussion and key informant interviews and secondary data were obtained from various published documents. The data obtained were analyzed in MS-Excel and SPSS. The average area under potato cultivation was 2.94 ropani with a productivity of 6.96 quintals per ropani, which is slightly lower than national-wise productivity (7.48 quintals per ropani). The cost of production per ropani was NRs. 13397 while cost incurred by traders per quintal (aggregators NRs. 3470, traders NRs. 4250 and wholesalers NRs. 3571). The average gross return was NRs. 28182.28 per ropani. The producers B:C ratio was 2.13 while aggregators (3.80), retailers (3.20) and wholesalers (1.99) with the net margin NRs. 7989.58 per ropani. The producer’s share on consumer’s price was 72.43% and the marketing margin for aggregators, retailers, and wholesalers was NRs.570.91, NRs.800, and NRs.587.44 respectively. The problems in quality assurance among traders and higher prices among the consumers were found. Thus, potato being an important cash crop, the decision¬-makers should take up initiatives for strengthening the potato value chain by establishing cold storage facilities in production belts and improving subsidized credit services to value chain actors.
THE GREEN ECONOMY PARADIGM: HOW CAN NIGERIA MAKE THE SHIFT
Authors: Okon Jacob Augustine , Joseph Umoh Okon
Published: January 2023

The notions of sustainable development and the green economy are inextricably linked, with just a thin line separating them. Looking at the definitions of two different concepts, for example, a green economy is defined by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) as a system of economic activities related to the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services that improves human well-being over time while avoiding significant environmental risks or ecological scarcities for future generations. However, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which inspired the GE, called for a Green Economy or, better yet, a Global Green New Deal (GGND). The GGND is a set of large-scale, internationally coordinated stimulus packages and policy actions that have the potential to expedite global economic recovery in the short term while also building the foundation for long-term sustained growth. It envisioned an economy devoted to healing the world’s damage, one that thrived through the establishment of a slew of new firms

Abstract.Education is one of the fundamental things for the development of a nation, and one of the things that is important is character education. Character education is important because of the moral crisis that has occurred in this nation, especially among the young people who will be its successors. One of the important philosophers who, during his lifetime, focused on character education was Ibnu Miskawaih. This study focuses on educational goals according to Ibnu Miskawaih and their relevance to the present. By using a literature study, this study seeks to describe educational goals according to Ibnu Miskawaih's view in a clearer and more understandable way for the general public. Ibnu Miskawaih revealed that one of the goals of education is to form good character because, as is well known, Ibnu Miskawaih was famous in his time as an ethical philosopher. According to him, character education should be more emphasized on students because students must master more than just academic education. Good character is the most important thing that students must possess.Keywords:Character Education, The Thought of Ibnu Miskawaih, Education Purposes.{Abstrak.Pendidikan adalah salah satu hal yang fundamental bagi perkembangan sebuah bangsa dan salah satu yang penting adalah pendidikan karakter.

Published: January 2023

Nowadays, the food truck business is gaining more popularity in Malaysia. It is a new
trend for the new generation of street food lovers as a food service of ready-to-eat and fast
food. Essentially, the fundamental aspects of halal food production include cleanliness,
free from contamination, and healthy food. The processes include every aspect of personal
hygiene, dress, equipment, and premise where food is processed and prepared. However,
the outbreak of foodborne diseases is the consequence if there is an element of
carelessness during the processing and handling of food, which is supposed to be in a
more hygienic and safer environment. Unsanitary food handling procedures, poor water
quality, and an unhygienic working environment were among the causes of foodborne
illness cases in Malaysia. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the
relationships between knowledge, attitude, and practices of food safety and hygiene
among Muslim food truck handlers. Using convenience sampling, the data were collected
from 121 Muslim food truck handlers in the Klang Valley in Peninsular Malaysia. A
quantitative research survey was conducted using a structured, self-administered
questionnaire to obtain responses from Muslim food truck handlers. Statistical analyses
including descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and Chi-square analysis were
employed in this study. The findings showed that decent knowledge, attitude, and
practices of food safety and hygiene among Muslim food truck handlers are crucial. These
attributes have significant relationships, indicating that a better understanding of Muslim
food truck handlers in terms of their knowledge, attitude, and practices of food safety and
hygiene is critical to the long-term sustainability of the food truck business industry.

Food safety remains a major issue around the world particularly when the COVID-19
pandemic becomes the main issue nowadays. Food safety is essential to the human
population worldwide because food is the primary energy source and nutrition for
humans. Therefore, food handlers' personal hygiene is one of the factors that are necessary
to maintain food safety. The purpose of this study was to assess the food handler’s
compliance with personal hygiene practices in randomly any food outlets across Malaysia
including Kuching, Sarawak; Lawas, Sarawak; Johor Bahru, Johor; Kuala Penyu, Sabah,
and Gurun, Kedah. A quantitative method, a cross-sectional descriptive study to one
thousand and five (N = 1005) food handlers who participated in the questionnaire and
observation checklist was developed by modifying questions in accordance with the Food
Hygiene Regulations 2009. Overall, the mean percentage of conformity in adhering to
food handler attire was the highest observed at Gurun, Kedah and Kuala Penyu, Sabah
with 86.96% and 80.79%, respectively, followed by Kuching, Sarawak with 77.5%, Johor
Bahru with 76.71%, and Lawas, Sarawak with 74.93%. Personal hygiene practices
conformity showed a high mean percentage with all districts scoring >91% higher than
non-conformity. The food handlers also show less unhygienic behaviour while on duty
and scored a mean percentage of > 92%. Although in that positive behaviour, some of the
food handlers did not perform some unhygienic practices (≤ 8 %). In conclusion, there is
no significant difference (p-value > 0.05) in the level of conformity between the mean
percentages among all districts. Thus, this issue shall raise a concern to the food industries
in order to make sure their workers comply with the legal requirement and to avoid any
food poisoning outbreak related to food hygiene and food safety in the future.

Factors affecting adoption of mobile phone applications among farmers in Lilongwe, Malawi: The case of Mchikumbe 212
Authors: Mahata Cynthia , Mhagama Peter
Published: January 2023

The Ministry of Agriculture, through the Department of Agriculture Extension Services, intensified the use of ICTs in Agriculture extension as one way of mitigating the high extension worker to farmer ratio in Malawi. ICT-based agricultural extension in Malawi has evolved from using traditional ICT tools to modern ones. Of interest to this study is the Mchikumbe 212 platform. This service was launched by Airtel Malawi, in partnership with the Human Network International (HNI) in September 2015. The service aims to transform farming by increasing farmers’ access to information and advisory services. It provides farmers with access to practical information about agriculture via interactive voice response and short messaging services, where farmers listen to agriculture extension advisory services on a crop of their choice on their mobile phones by dialing 212. However, the adoption of the Mchikumbe 212 platform has not been satisfactory as the number of registered users has decreased since its launch. The study, therefore, aimed at analysing the factors affecting the adoption or rejection of the Mchikumbe 212 platform among farmers in Malawi. Data was collected using face-to-face interviews with both adopter and non-adopter farmers of the technology drawn from Lilongwe district. Key informant interviews were also conducted with officials from Airtel Malawi, Ministry of Agriculture and Human Network International. The study finds that there are several factors that both positively and negatively affect the adoption of the technology. Farmers who adopted the Mchikumbe 212 platform found it easy to use and navigate, convenient, affordable and accessible, and that it gave timely and relevant information for direct application in their gardens. Non-adopters showed preference for face-to-face extension over the Mchikumbe 212 platform citing absence of instant feedback as the main reason for non-adoption. Further, very little was done to promote the platform by the Ministry of Agriculture and Airtel Malawi. As a result, farmers did not associate Mchikumbe 212 platform with the government extension system. This is one of the factors that have negatively affected its adoption.

GAME METHODS OF TEXT ANALYSIS (“PASTELS” BY PAVLO TYCHYNA)
Authors: Moklytsia Maria
Published: January 2023

The subject of research is game components of the creative process, their manifestation in the genre-stylistic features of Pavlo Tychyna's cycle of poems "Pastels". Applying game methods in the study of literature is defined in the article as problematic, since the game does not take place inside the object of cognition, but around him. The research methodology is genre-style analysis based on the psychology of creativity, taking into account cultural contexts, using elements of deconstructivism and intermediate approach. The relevance of the research lies in the proposal to use game methods for in-depth analysis of literary text. It is a relevant appeal to Tychyna's poems intended for school study, since analysis examples common in methodological materials are often superficial. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the actualisation of game methods for an in-depth analysis of literary texts, in justification of the playful nature of creativity and features of genre and style as a manifestation of this nature. The article offers a completely new analysis of the “Pastels” cycle which can be used as a method for studying other lyrical works.

Playful nature of the lyrical cycle "Pastels'' manifests itself in the title, and hence the beginning of the game offered by the author to the reader, unfolds at the genre level. Looking for an answer to the question about which the nature of writing poems is evidenced by a quick pencil drawing, the reader joins the intermediate game. Then the game manifests itself most obviously in the figurative speech of poetry: it is a game in words, or a guessing game that emerges from the nature of image creation, since symbols, allegories and metaphors differ in the mechanisms of formation of additional values. Symbolisation is a hint of something more important, but not directly named; allegory is a conscious coding; metaphor is a concealment subject through the description of its not too obvious qualities. Cognition of added figurative meanings (or polysemy) is in fact a guessing game. Knowledge of the text through the game method can be called an in-depth analysis that happens intellectually and at the same time emotionally, thanks to the game. This is the way emotional intelligence works.

Introduction. Male infertility is one of the main causes of forced childlessness of couples around the world. Currently, a limited number of drugs for the treatment of male infertility are available on the market. Biologically active supplements (dietary supplements) containing L-carnitine are often used in the complex therapy. The results of determining the therapeutic activity of a new drug, a peptide complex obtained from cattle testes (PP-R-001) for the treatment of male infertility and comparing its effectiveness with L-carnitine in the models of oxidative stress induction in cell cultures are presented. Material and methods. The study was carried out on cell lines of transplanted piglet testicle (PTP) and bovine embryonic testicle (TEB). Two experimental approaches were used to induce oxidative stress (OS) in testicular cells: co-culturing cells of either PTP or TEB with cisplatin (cis-Pt) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The protective effect of the PP-R-001 peptide complex was assessed by the induction of apoptosis and testicular cell death, migration activity, the number of cells with DNA double-strand breaks, the level of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial activity of cells under OS conditions. Results. The effect of PP-R-001 significantly exceeded the effect of L-carnitine on the survival rate and decrease of apoptotic cell number of PTP and TEB under OS conditions. PP-R-001 significantly increased the migration activity of both cell lines. It was found that PP-R-001 significantly reduced the level of intracellular lesions that lead to apoptotic death of TEB and PTP cells exposed to both cis-Pt and H2O2: the drug increased the activity of mitochondria and decreased the number of DNA double-strand breaks and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Conclusion. The data obtained indicate that PP-R-001 has a multimodal effect on testicular TEB and PTP cells in the oxidative stress models, which is superior to the effect of L-carnitine widely used in male fertility supplements.

Introduction. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the commonest urological diseases. Aim. To review current research on the use of 5-alfa-reductase inhibinors (5-ARI) in the treatment of BPH: finasteride and dutasteride. Materials and methods. We have done a search and analysis of publications for last 20 years using elibrary, PubMed, Cochrane Collaboration and Embase databases. The inclusion criteria were: prospective (cohort) studies and randomized clinical trials (RCTs). The total number of sources included in this review was 36. Results and discussion. The review highlights the following sections: clinical and side effects of 5-ARI inhibitors, evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy with 5-ARI inhibitors and the reasons for its inefficiency, conclusions. The analysis of works devoted to the clinical effects of 5-ARI showed the absence of a complete cure for BPH against the background of modern pharmacotherapy with a moderate positive effect in most patients. The known side effects of 5-ARI suggest there are additional mechanisms of those medications besides of inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase and new studies are needed to identify them. The lack of generally accepted indicators for 5-ARI effectiveness monitoring makes it difficult to assess it. And the insufficient effectiveness of drug treatment of BPH may be associated with the inability to classify the pathophysiological diversity of the disease and its phenotypes. Conclusions. New studies are needed to study the individual specific composition of the pancreatic tissue and a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, which will improve the results of drug therapy and develop individual therapeutic solutions for patients.
Study on Dae Cha and Noewon Cha
Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Lee Haeng-Cheol
Published: January 2023

This study compared and analyzed the records of Dae Cha and Noewon Cha in Korean and Chinese historical records. This analysis showed that these two types of tea should be approached from an East Asian perspective, breaking the notion that had been recognized as unique domestic teas of Goryeo. In addition, Dae Cha and Noewon Cha are good research topics for understanding the negotiations of East Asian tea culture in the 10th century. An analysis of the records of the two countries suggested that Dae Cha was produced and used for 139 years from 909 to 1047 in the Wuyue, Min, and Goryeo dynasties. Noewon Cha may have existed throughout the Silla, Wuyue, and Goryeo Dynasties for 132 years, from 916 to 1047. Through this study, Dae Cha was produced in Muzhou, Zhejiang Province. Hence, the possibility that Noewon Cha could be Shilla's tea could be explored. In this paper, the Shilla theory, the Wuyue theory, and the Goryeo theory were raised in relation to the origin of Noewon Cha. In this study, some issues that need to be identified through future research have emerged. These include the problem with the name of Noewon Cha, which is marked differently in the records of the two countries, the problem of the production area of Noewon Cha, and the tea culture negotiation relationship between the countries that existed in the Korean Peninsula and the Chinese mainland in the 10th century. This study is expected to enrich the discourse of Dae Cha and Noewon Cha and give new vitality to research in this field.
Altered Antioxidant Activities of Cudrania tricuspodata Tea: A Study on the Different leaf Processing Methods
Authors:   The Korean Tea Society, Kim Sun Hwa
Published: January 2023

This study examines the general ingredients and antioxidant activities of control, hot air-dried leaves tea (HDT), pan-fried tea (PFT), and Ddeok-cha (DDC) made from Kkujippong (Cudrania tricuspidata) leaves. The general ingredient contents obtained for all processing methods were similar. However, the crude protein contents were relatively higher in HDT, whereas the highest contents of crude ash were obtained in PFT. The pH of the extracts was in the range 5.61-6.09. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were the highest in the PFT extract (247.79 mg/100 g and 173.27 mg/100 g, respectively). The PFT extract also had the highest DPPH and ABTs radical scavenging activity, and α-glucosidase inhibition activity. The Kkujippong leaf processed as tea imparted no cytotoxicity in the cell viability assay and exerted no concentration-dependent NO-production inhibition activity. The lowest NO-production inhibition activity at 500 μg/mL concentration was obtained for PFT. In conclusion, we recommend that the pan-fired tea using Kkujippong leaves can be used as alternative tea due to the better functionality and higher stability.

Oral dosage forms are mostly preferred route for administering drugs to patient. But due to the poor solubility many drug has limited used in oral administration. Solubility is a one of the significant factor which affects dissolution rate and bioavailability. Solid dispersion is an effective method of improving the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble drugs and hence its bioavailability. In this study will focus on various methods of solid dispersion preparation, their advantages and major challenges
