Authors: A. Pratheepa  , D. Lalithamani  , K. Revathi  , N. Kannimozhi
Published: December 2023

An episiotomy is an incision made in the perineum- the tissue between the vaginal opening and the anus during child birth. Pain at the episiotomy site is more distressing for the mother during postnatal period. An ice pack application or warm shallow bath (sitz bath) may increase comfort and promotes healing. The main aim of this present study was to compare the effect of Crushed ice pack application and Sitz bath on episiotomy pain and wound healing among postnatal mothers. A Matched group design was adopted in this study. By using Non probability purposive sampling technique 22 postnatal mothers with episiotomy were selected as samples at Ramakrishna Hospital, Coimbatore and 11mothers were assigned randomly to each group I and group II. Episiotomy pain was assessed by using Numerical Pain Intensity scale and Wound healing was assessed by using Davidson REEDA scale. Group I received crushed ice pack application and Group II received sitz bath. Intervention was given for 10 minutes twice a day for three consecutive days from first postnatal day. Data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The statistical analysis revealed that the calculated mean scores of episiotomy pain in the group I and group II was1.72 and 2.9 respectively and the mean difference is 1.2 with the standard deviation of group I and group II was 0.64 and 0.53 respectively. The calculated ‘t’ value 11.3 was greater than the table value of 2.086 at 0.05 level of significance. The calculated mean scores of episiotomy wound healing in the group I and group II was 1.54 and 1.81 respectively and the mean difference is 0.27 with the standard deviation of group I and group II was 0.5 and 0.6 respectively. The calculated‘t’ value 2.6 was greater than the table value of 2.086 at 0.05 level of significance. Finally, the study concluded that the crushed ice pack application was more effective than sitz bath in reducing the level of episiotomy pain and promotes wound healing among postnatal mothers.
The homogeneity effects of magnetic flux density distribution on the detection of railhead surface defects via the magnetic flux leakage method
Authors: Kara O , Çelik H H
Published: December 2023

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect railhead surface defects. For effective MFL testing, the homogeneity of the magnetic flux density distribution (MFDD) within the railhead is crucial. Inhomogeneous formation of the MFDD within the railhead
reduces the efficiency of the MFL testing. The homogeneity of the MFDD depends on the distance between poles (DBP) of the MFL testing system. According to the literature, as the DBP parameter increases, the MFDD becomes more homogeneous. In this study, four different homogeneity levels of
the MFDD are introduced based on the DBP parameter. 3D finite element method (FEM) modelling simulation is conducted to obtain MFL testing analyses. The analyses are performed on a rail that contains rectangular surface defects of varying depth and length. The results of this study are evaluated
using characteristic features of the MFL signal BX component, namely the slope of the baseline, the bottom value and the peak-to-peak value. The results show that if the homogeneity level of the MFDD within the railhead is higher, the bottom value and slope of the baseline decrease
and the peak-to-peak value increases. This indicates that higher homogeneity of the MFDD enhances the detection efficiency of the MFL testing. Eventually, it is found that with the formation of nearly 100% homogeneous MFDD in the railhead, the slope of the baseline, the bottom value and the
peak-to-peak value are enhanced by up to 83%, 77% and 12%, respectively.
GPU-accelerated polyenergetic forward projection for 9 MeV industrial CT system
Authors: Wang Kun , Wang Huan , Chen Hao , Chang Dingyue , Chen Fa , Kou Huaqin , Shuai Maobing
Published: December 2023

Polyenergetic forward projection has great significance in inspecting hazardous materials, establishing optimal radiographic variables and investigating beam hardening effects. However, it is computationally intensive to perform polyenergetic forward-projection calculations for high-resolution
phantoms. To address this issue, a rapid polyenergetic forward-projection algorithm is proposed for a 9 MeV industrial computed tomography (CT) system. The FLUktuierende KAskade (FLUKA) software package is used to generate the 9 MeV X-ray spectrum data. Two voxelised phantoms are used to model
scanned objects, one being a multi-material cylinder and the other a single-material turbine blade. An incremental version of Siddon's algorithm is adopted to calculate the intersection lengths between the X-rays and the auxiliary phantoms. Three strategies are utilised to accelerate the calculation,
in which: the intersection lengths do not vary with the energy bins and can be used repeatedly until all the energy bins are counted; a graphics processing unit (GPU) is used to accelerate the ray tracing algorithm by utilising a parallel computing technique; and faster memory access is achieved
by binding the auxiliary phantoms to texture objects. The simulation results in this paper show that the GPU-based approach not only maintains the image precision but also gains significant speed-ups over the conventional central processing unit (CPU)-based Siddon method. Furthermore, beam
hardening artefacts can clearly be seen from the profile curves of the reconstructed slices, indicating that this method is effective.
Team knowledge sharing: A game-based learning approach
Authors: Phung N. B. H. , Dung T. Q. , Duong N. T.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Business simulation games that have been widely used in teaching in recent years have been proven to help students develop teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Aim. The current research aims to assess how team cohesion and knowledge sharing attitudes relate to organisational climate and knowledge sharing (KS) intentions.

Methodology and research methods. Through the use of a game-based team learning environment, this study examined the students’ attitudes and intentions regarding KS. As part of the study, questionnaires were also administered to 202 students at business colleges in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Bootstrapping estimation was used to test all hypotheses using a structural equation model (SEM).

Results. The research findings showed that (1) organisational climate positively influenced team cohesion, as well as KS attitudes positively influencing KS intentions; (2) organisational climate was positively related to KS attitudes and intentions; (3) team cohesion was positively associated with KS attitudes and intentions; and (4) a significant relationship exists between organisational climate and KS intentions through the mediation of team cohesion and KS attitudes.

Scientific novelty. The study helps to examine the relationships between the four variables that have been done before.

Practical significance. The research findings suggest that teachers should establish grading standards and encourage students to express their opinions. In addition, it is crucial to create a good atmosphere and enhance cohesion in the class so that they can trigger students’ KS attitudes and intentions.

The Humanizing Power of Narrative in Academic EFL Teaching as Response to COVID-19 Post-pandemic Education Challenges
Authors: Łukaszyk-Spryszak Aleksandra , Sańczyk-Cruz Anna
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic enforced rapid changes in teaching methodology, practically revising the widely applied academic practices and traditional approaches. Upon entering the spaces of classrooms after demanding remote learning, academic teachers and students encounter several challenges that pertain to building humanizing learning environments, as times differ from those before the pandemic. Therefore, promoting humanizing pedagogy in higher education is critically needed right now. The purpose of the article is to detail theoretical and practical solutions for academic teachers to inspire them to implement a narrative approach in their academic classrooms. Empirical studies support that when humanizing pedagogy is put into practice, it can strengthen reflective and dialogic approaches to teaching English, including teaching a specialist language. The practical suggestions on how to implement these approaches into teaching EFL and ESP in the context of Polish higher education distinctively show the potential of narratives and storytelling as didactic tools translating into an opportunity to design modern, high-quality English language courses.

Culture War and the School of Talk. Teacher of Polish: Fighting or Constructing One
Authors: Biedrzycki Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

The school is not independent of the processes ruling the public space. One of them is the crashing of values known as a culture war. The article shows the consequences of adopting one of the narrative strategies: celebration, promotion, and emancipation. It conducts to polarization during the lessons of Polish when the teacher follows one of them. In this situation four ways of behavior are possible: imposing one’s own values, calling into question the values of the other side, quasi-professionalism, dialogue, and solidarity. Dialogue is constructive but not easy aim to achieve. Polish is shown here as the school subject serving to build consensus, solidarity, understanding the other person, the perceiving values in dissimilar opinions.
Humanities Didactics – in-between Solidarity and Dissent
Authors: Kwiatkowska-Ratajczak Maria
Published: December 2023

The author focuses on the paradigms of the Polish language didactics and points out that methodological theories sometimes have been ahead of the literary observations about socially practiced humanities. The perceived common places and differences make it possible to build real “bridges” between the disciplines. The researcher highlights the specificity of didactics as a branch of knowledge that can combine dichotomies. She emphasizes the need to approve contradictions. The essential disagreement – forcing one to think about the sense of the proposed solutions – may involve organizing the educational paths of a young man thinking independently.

Authors: Wardana Puspitarini Nindya , Saputra Surya , Putri Chantika Azzahra Anindita , Khairunnisa Sekar Hasna
Published: December 2023

Relapse is a return to the initial form of malocclusion after correction. Relapse occurred after the patient underwent a fixed orthodontic treatment, and it could be associated with the role of third molar eruption. The use of removable orthodontic appliances can maintain the retention period to prevent relapse. This report aims to report the use of removable orthodontic appliances in correcting a minor relapse case. A 23-year-old patient came to RSGM UMY complaining of misaligned upper and lower front teeth for several months after completing fixed orthodontic treatment. She felt her lower front teeth were crowded and moved more backward than the other teeth. The treatment used maxillary and mandibular expansion plates to gain space. The active plate on the maxilla was a medium labial arch and a simple spring on the mandible. A checkup of the patient was seen once a week which involved cleaning the oral cavity and the plate, measuring the space by the activated expansion screw, and checking for correction of individual teeth. The bilateral expansion plate can be used to correct mild anterior crowding due to relapse, followed by an active plate with a simple spring. The success of treatment was influenced by the patient’s cooperation and compliance with using removable orthodontic appliances.
Role of hyaluronic acid in post-extraction healing
Authors: Shukla Kirti , Pebilli Kranthi Kiran
Published: December 2023

In dental practice, rapid healing of post-extraction wounds is integral in reducing the risk of infection that causes patient discomfort. Wound healing is a dynamic process requiring adequate vascularization and collagen matrix deposition. The renewal of vessels determines traction that stimulates remodelling of the extracellular matrix, potentiating neo-vessel responses. The presence of topical agents may aid the regenerative and repair mechanisms & improve the healing process of damaged tissues. Commercial preparations based on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) have shown to improve the healing of connective tissue, epithelium, and mucosa. HA is used during the healing process as it primarily creates a temporary structure for depositing extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, initiates cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration, and regulates vascular endothelial cell function. The present review article discusses the possible complications of delayed post-extraction healing and the role of hyaluronic acid in post-extraction wound healing and alveolar osteitis.

Authors: Nandini  , Kumari Muskan , Bhati Muskan , Sharma Preeti
Published: December 2023

: Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) are a group of conditions that affect the muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other supporting structures in the body. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors associated with MSD, to evaluate the occurrence of MSD and to ascertain if they are also aware of the measures to prevent and manage these conditions.

A questionnaire based study was done including the dental students who were working in clinics, this comprising of third year, final year as well as interns of our institute via social networks. The variables taken into consideration were demographic details presence and absence of pain, average working hours per day, break between attending patients, best practices followed by subject to minimize MSD.

: Among 270 dental students, 202 responses were collected, with response rate of (74.81%). The most common site affected by MSD was the lower back reported in 26.3% subjects, while other regions affected in descending order were, neck (16.8%), more than one region (15.3%) followed by Upper back (14.9%), no pain(10.8%), Shoulders (9.6%) and elbow (6.3%).Statistical analysis among the different variables showed how awareness regarding measures like stretching exercises and physical activities positively influences work performance and act as a catalyst in reducing MSD.

: Occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among dental students is significantly high due to lack of awareness regarding maintaining proper posture, implementing regular breaks and physical exercises. MSD in dentistry can be diminished through following proper posture, taking adequate breaks between the patients and maintaining good physical health.

Why did Seneca the elder consider Gaius Asinius Pollio to be a founder of the first public recitations in Rome?
Authors: Snedkova Ekaterina V.
Published: December 2023

Gaius Asinius Pollio (c. 75 BC - 4 AD), Roman commander, politician, orator and writer is also known as the founder of public recitations in Rome. The reason for this was the following phrase from the Controversions by Seneca the Elder: “Pollio was the first of all the Romans to have read his works to the invited public” (Contr. IV. praef. 2). Nowadays it is accepted by scholars that Pollio did not introduce public recitations, however, there is still no consensus on what exactly this innovation was. In this article, the author considers modern interpretations of the fragment from the Controversions and offers her own interpretation, concluding that Pollio initiated the reading of works for a wider audience at a more formalized level.
Application of civil law norms on compensation for losses and unjust enrichment in the protection of violated rights in the field of compulsory pension insurance
Authors: Roshchepko Natalya V.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the problems of protecting the rights of subjects of compulsory pension insurance. The grounds and procedure for compensation by the policyholder, as well as by the insured person (pensioner) for the amounts of real damage caused to the bodies of the Social Fund of the Russian Federation, in the form of overpaid insurance coverage, are analyzed. The relevance of the provisions of Chapter 60 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on unjust enrichment when resolving such disputes by courts is also noted, which is permissible due to the direct instructions of the law on insurance pensions. Unlike the insurer, the right of the insured person (pensioner) to compensation for losses is not legally established. However, the provisions of Article 15, Art. 393 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation are in demand when collecting the amounts of an unassigned (unreceived) old-age insurance pension as lost profits from the policyholder or insurer. The need to apply civil legislation is due to the specific nature of the declarative nature of the right to old-age insurance. At the same time, this places the burden on the plaintiff to prove the completeness of the grounds for implementing this measure of legal liability, which reduces the effectiveness of the protection of pension rights. The article formulates proposals for improving the legal regulation of the purpose of insurance coverage for compulsory pension insurance.
The problem of political correctness in consecutive interpreting from Russian into English
Authors: Ivoylova Nadezhda Yu. , Yastrebov Semyon M.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the notion of political correctness and its impact on the decision-making in interpreting from Russian into English in the sphere of politics. The correlation between the notions of political correctness and adequacy of translation is analyzed. Translations of V. Putin’s and S. Lavrov’s speeches and interviews are studied in terms of strategies and techniques employed by the interpreters for the sake of political correctness. Adequacy of translation is also assessed. Conclusions are drawn stating direct dependency of interpreters’ choices on the type of potential discrimination and on the communicative situation requirements. In case of potential discrimination based on gender, race, age, religion, health, appearance, sexual orientation or social status, the political correctness requirements normally do not come into conflict with the communicative situation requirements, so the interpreters use the corresponding English euphemistic equivalents or resort to transformations, mainly generalization. Nevertheless, when political correctness is aligned with political or economic issues, adequacy of translation tends to require direct naming of things, with political correctness waived. This allows to raise the question whether euphemization related to the description of a state’s outer policy or its economic consequences should be part of the sphere of political correctness.
The inverted-u-shaped impact of fintech development on bank risk: A study of liability structure and economic uncertainty
Authors: Wang Jing , Selamat Aslam Izah , Ashhari Zariyawati Mohd , Yahya Mohamed Hisham Hj
Published: December 2023

In the evolving landscape of financial digitization, the implications of fintech development on commercial bank risk are increasingly vital. This research rigorously examines the depth and breadth of fintech's influence, particularly emphasizing the interplay between liability structures and periods of economic flux. A methodical econometric analysis was undertaken, analyzing panel data from 2011 to 2021, spanning 281 commercial banks. This research encompasses 15 national banks, 266 regional banks, 52 listed entities, and 229 unlisted institutions. Analysis leveraged the capabilities of Stata 17.0 software. The findings depart from a linear interpretation. Instead, fintech's impact on bank risk follows an inverted "U-shaped" trajectory—initially escalating risk, then mitigating it. The liability structure emerges as a consequential intermediary in this dynamic. Moreover, the influence of fintech varies depending on the bank type and equity composition. In times of economic volatility, this relationship is further accentuated. These insights hold paramount significance for commercial banks amid the current digital revolution. They provide a roadmap for judiciously balancing risk in a time when fintech innovations are dominating, ensuring resilience and adaptability in an unpredictable financial domain.
THE STUDY OF X-RAY SPECTRUM OF COMA GALAXY CLUSTER
Authors: Zadorozhna L. , Tugay A. , Prikhodko O. , Malyshev D. , Sahai Y. , Savchenko D. , Pulatova N.
Published: December 2023

The X-ray spectrum of the Coma galaxy cluster was studied using the data from the XMM-Newton observatory. We combined 7 observations performed with the MOS camera of XMM-Newton in the 40′ × 40′ region centered at the Coma cluster. The analyzed observations were performed in 2000–2005 and have a total duration of 196 ksec. We focus on the analysis of the MOS camera spectra due to their lower affection by strong instrumental line-like background. The obtained spectrum was fitted with a model including contributions from the Solar system/Milky Way hot plasma and a power law X-ray background. The contribution of the instrumental background was modeled as a power law (not convolved with the effective area) and a number of Gaussian lines. The contribution from the Coma cluster was modeled with a single-temperature hot plasma emission. In addition, we searched for possible non-thermal radiation present in the vicinity of the center of the Coma cluster, originating e.g. from synchrotron emission of relativistic electrons on a turbulent magnetic field. We compared the results with previous works by other authors and spectra obtained from other instruments that operate in the similar energy range of 1−10 keV. Careful and detailed spectrum analysis shall be a necessary contribution to our future work – searching for axion-like dark matter particles’ manifestations in the Coma cluster.
A NEW APPROACH TO THE ANALYSIS OF LIGHT CURVES OF PULSATING RR LYRAE STARS WITH THE BLAZHKO EFFECT
Authors: Keir L. E.
Published: December 2023

We discuss the new approach for the analysis of the long-term dense series of observations of RR Lyr-type pulsating stars with the Blazhko effect. The standard way, namely The frequency analysis of the O–C values for the times of maxima does not allow for to detection of the complex nature of the periodic changes in the shape of the light curves, including bi-cyclicity. We have shown the perspectives of a new approach on the example of the analysis of FISge variable observations containing a total of 55 observational nights during a period of five years (AZT-3 Telescope, Mayaki Observational Station, SRI “Astronomical Observatory”, I. I. Mechnikov ONU). The study is based on the data obtained by S. N. Udovichenko during the 2013 and 2014 observational seasons as well as on data obtained by S. N. Udovichenko and the author during the 2018 observational season.
Our results show that in order to understand the features in the shape of the light curve variations for RR Lyr type pulsating stars with the Blazhko effect, it is necessary to have data for full cycles of variability over a long time, and not just the moments of maxima.

Metal-poor stars allow us to establish the early history of the Milky Way, furthermore the stars on advanced evolution stage (e.g. giants, AGB stars etc.) give the opportunity to research the peculiarities of stellar evolution at low metallicity. On the base of the 11-m Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) spectra obtained using HRS fibre-fed echelle-spectrograph during 2018–2020, the atmospheric parameters and elemental abundances of four metal-poor stars HE 1523-0901, HD 6268, HD 121135, and HD 195636 ( [Fe/H] ~ -1.5 – -3.0) have been obtained. The iron abundance was determined based on the equivalent widths of absorption lines. The carbon abundance was obtained using the molecular synthesis fitting for the CH (4300-4330 ÅÅ) region, nitrogen from CN at 3883 Å, oxygen from [O] line at 6300 Å and IR triplet at 7770 Å The relationship between the chemical enrichment of stars and their stellar evolution is considered. It may be associated with the processes of mixing inside the stars, and the mechanisms of matter transfer during stellar evolution.

The Ukrainian VLBI system of decameter radio telescopes URAN successfully solves many scientific problems, but implementing aperture synthesis technology has a number of difficulties. One of them is significant phase distortions in this range caused by an inhomogeneous propagation environment. Therefore, the task arose to develop an alternative technology with the conventional name "Interferovision", which would allow us to restore radio images with a limited number of antennas, operate with broadband signals, not require flatness of the objects scene, and have an extended field of view.
A method of direct image reconstruction when observing objects in space, using a multi-element interferometer, is proposed. This method is based on a physically based principle that is similar to holography. The wave front is registered by the antennas of the interferometer, and further processing is equivalent to its playback in reverse and registration of the resulting spatial interference image. There are no special requirements for the radiation of individual points of the source, except for its delta correlation. A finite frequency band is considered, and each point can be characterized by its own spectrum, that is, its own autocorrelation function of radiation. The resolution of the direct reconstruction method depends on its width. With the quasi-monochromatic approximation, the autocorrelation functions of the radiation of all the source points degenerate into sinusoids, and the restoration of the image becomes possible only with the use of the Fourier transformation. A theoretical justification of the method for spaces of different dimensions has been obtained. Interferometric systems of the same rank with many antennas are reduced to a same canonical form with fixed number of virtual antennas placed at the origin of the coordinates and at unit distances on the coordinate axes. The ambiguity of the obtained solution is eliminated by using an additional antenna.
A simulation of the proposed method of direct image reconstruction for two-dimensional space was carried out. Despite the low conditionality of the system for estimating the distance, when it increases, the angular characteristics are preserved. Therefore, the method is promising for restoring radio images of space radio sources.
THE JET KINETIC LUMINOSITIES FOR THE UTR-2 SOURCES WITH THE STEEP LOW-FREQUENCY SPECTRA
Authors: Miroshnichenko A. P.
Published: December 2023

Earlier we have determined that the UTR-2 radio sources with steep linear spectra possess greater jet propagation velocity and lesser characteristic age than the UTR-2 radio sources with steep break spectra. Also examined galaxies and quasars with steep break spectra display greater mean values of the central black hole masses and mass accretion rates, than corresponding these for galaxies and quasars with steep linear spectra. Besides, as we have determined, the radio structure of the UTR-2 steep-spectrum sources is giant, its linear size has Mpc-scale. The source’s giant structure is formed by jets with enveloped radio lobes. So, this indicates on the powerful jets of the radio sources with the steep low-frequency spectra. Since the source jets are connected with the accretion disk of the source, it is important to examine relations of their physical characteristics. With this purpose we obtain estimates of the jet kinetic luminosity for the UTR-2 steep-spectrum sources on the assumption of the equality of the corresponding mass accretion rate and the jet matter flux. Using our calculated values of the jet propagation velocity and the mass accretion rate for the UTR-2 steep-spectrum galaxies and quasars, we estimate their jet kinetic luminosities. The obtained values of the jet kinetic luminosities are ~ 1045 erg/s, pointing out the great power of jets for the examined steep-spectrum sources. It is essential, that the examined objects display the relation of their kinetic luminosity and corresponding redshift (cosmological evolution).

Published: December 2023

The radio telescope (RT) URAN-4, located near the city of Odessa, started to work in 1987 as a component of the radio interferometric system URAN, which operates in the decameter range of radio waves and whose elements are placed in several points throughout Ukraine. The first successful VLBI observations of compact cosmic radio sources in the URAN system were carried out on the RT URAN-4–UTR-2 interferometer at the end of 1987. In the same period, a program was launched for regular observations of powerful cosmic radio sources 3C 144, 3C 274, 3C 405, 3C 461 at frequencies of 20 and 25 MHz in the radiometric mode.
Later, several stages of modernization of radiometric equipment and systems for automation of observations took place. This made it possible by 2000 to switch to practically continuous radiometric monitoring of a group of these radio sources. Method of measuring and processing of the records of the radio sources passage through RT direction pattern, statistics of the observation records on time periods in dependence on the registration systems of the data obtained during more 35 years observations on the RT URAN-4 are considered in this paper. Some results are given which related to the study of the flux densities of the observing radio sources and ionospheric scintillation effect which is essential at the decameter wavelength range.
