Authors: Nafsi Tayaba , Syed Ali Furqan , Batool Faiza , Siddiqi Rabbia
Published: November 2024

This study examined local errors that eighth graders at a Pasrur private school made in their descriptive essays. Also, the sorts of local errors committed by L2 learners are identified in this paper. For both native speakers and non-native speakers, writing is a difficult undertaking. It requires not only a basic knowledge of grammar but also strong writing skills. This begins to be taught from the beginning of the school year. Error analysis is the process of identifying, interpreting, and analyzing mistakes/mistakes that are considered incorrect in relation to the grammatical rules of a language, and this is usually done by people learning a second language. To this end, the researcher does a comparative study of local mistakes made by 8th-grade boys and girls. Descriptive writing presents great difficulties. This study was conducted using a mixed methodology. The topic was given to fifty pupils, whose essays were then assessed for mistakes based on the frequency with which they appeared in his sample of carefully chosen compositions. According to the findings, misspellings are more common than sentence structure and word choice. According to this study’s findings, some of these mistakes are due to a lack of cross-linguistic proficiency. In other words, one source of these errors is the learner’s native tongue. Furthermore, this study concludes that the main cause of these local errors is a lack of grammatical and linguistic knowledge of the target language, that is English.

A Five- Pointed Likert Scale questionnaire was developed for students. Data were collected personally by the researcher after testing the reliability and validity of the instrument. The collected data were analyzed using mean, frequency and percentage through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It was found that students spend most of their time with their fellows and help each other if they have difficulty. Furthermore, all students follow discipline according to university rules. It is recommended that seminars and conferences may be arranged for university students about how to cooperate with each other and know how to deal with problems.
Cultural Myths of Mota Uwi Water Resources in Making Social Investigation: A case study in Ngalukodja Village, Indonesia
Authors: Wula Zainur , K. Mohammad Nhelbourne
Published: November 2024

The study aimed to discover the mythological culture of Mota Uwi Springs in achieving social order in Ngalukodja village, Indonesia. This is sociocultural research; data collection is done through observation and in-depth interviews with the snowball informant technique. The results showed that the sociocultural system and magical religious rituals were seen in people's lives that aimed to keep people from exploring forest products around the spring site, cutting trees for building materials and firewood. The public believes that if entering the source of the spring without customary rituals, natural disasters or calamities will befall the individuals who do it, even their families. The origin of the springs has been guarded by ancestral spirits for hundreds of years, defending the descendants who inhabited the Ngalukodja territory. The myth can realize the social order in maintaining the destruction of forests and springs and recognizing the continuity of the university, understanding the welfare of society and the common good.

Published: November 2024

A country's health system stands as one of its most critical infrastructures, significantly influencing the well-being of its citizens. In line with the World Health Organization's (WHO) widely accepted definition, a country's health system involves all organizations, people, and actions whose primary purpose is to promote, restore, or maintain health (World Health Organization., 2007). As indicated in this definition, a health system carries characteristics of complex systems posing significant challenges in its management and maintenance. The complex nature of the health system also challenges the country's policymakers to improve the outcomes of the health system. Examining specific key performance indicators of the health system can assist policymakers in gaining deeper insights into its internal capacities and identifying areas for improvement. This paper provides a comparative performance analysis of Türkiye’s health system compared to other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries using selected key performance indicators of the health system's capacity and resources. The methodology involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, data collection and analysis, and performance evaluation using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. In this performance analysis, health systems capacity-related indicators, such as health expenditure, number of doctors, number of nurses, and number of hospital beds, are used as input variables, and life expectancy at birth and citizens’ satisfaction with the healthcare system are output variables. The analysis intends to identify best practices and potential areas for improvement within Türkiye’s health system by benchmarking insights from other OECD countries.

Authors: Doskeyeva G. Zh. , Kuzembekova R. A.
Published: November 2024

Purpose. This research aims to explore how dual education introduced as part of the state policy of modernizing the education system enhances academic performance and increase students' satisfaction with learning outcomes in Kazakhstani technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions.

Methodology. A survey involving 523 students from TVET institutions in Almaty city was conducted for this purpose. Using the SPSS software, the survey data were analyzed to investigate two hypotheses. The first hypothesis proposes that students in dual education systems achieve superior academic results, thereby potentially enhancing their success in the labor market compared to students in non-dual education systems. Hypothesis 2 suggests that dual education students report higher satisfaction with their learning outcomes and greater confi dence in their employability compared to students in non-dual education systems.  

Originality / value of the research. This study serves as a methodological trial to explore how dual education affects the quality of education in TVET institutions. It also aims to assess the impact on students' satisfaction with their learning outcomes and their confidence in employability.

The findings indicate that students in dual education programs exhibit greater confidence in their job market prospects, higher satisfaction with their educational outcomes, and superior academic achievement compared to those in traditional (non-dual) education.

Authors: Beketova K. N. , Kinasheva Zh. B. , Smagulova A. M.
Published: November 2024

Purpose. By analyzing the relationship between agricultural production, emissions, agricultural employment and local communities, the study aims to highlight the role of agriculture in economic development, as well as provide specific recommendations for policymakers in prioritizing agriculture.

Methods. The authors use linear regression as a methodology to establish and identify the relationship between agricultural indicators and GDP growth. The data was taken from various reliable sources, such as the Statistics Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the World Bank. The regression includes both dependent variables (GDP) and independent variables (agricultural activity). Statistical tests are also presented to assess the significance and reliability of the findings.

Originality / Value. The article presents new evidence of the dependence of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the agricultural sector. The uniqueness of the work lies in the identification of the main problems of the agricultural sector and the proposed solutions. The consideration of carbon dioxide emissions and rural employment issues adds a special scientific depth to the study.

Findings. The regression analysis identified factors that directly influence the growth of the GDP of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Moreover, the R-square indicates that a significant portion of the variance in the dependent variable can be explained by the selected independent variables, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in identifying the key determinants of agricultural productivity. As observed from the research results, Kazakhstan's agricultural sector requires more attention compared to the industrial sector. This sector is responsible for the growth of GDP and economic productivity, with empirical evidence supporting this. By supporting agrarian policies and investments, it is possible to combat poverty and sustainably develop the rural population.

Citizen Science approaches are now frequently applied to research questions requiring extensive sampling efforts that produce large data sets. The possible benefits of this strategy often lead researchers to overlook the critical early development period. This case study follows the startup of a citizen science project using volunteer cold-water SCUBA divers to track recruitment dynamics of endangered rockfishes. We track the early growth phase of this project using the number of outreach events, and resulting dive effort over the first seven years of the program. Though group members possessed diverse backgrounds and skills, all five participating groups exhibited several year lags in which outreach resulted in little survey effort. After several years, participation dramatically increased. Groups that joined later increased participation more rapidly, suggesting an interaction among divers in disparate groups, improvement in project messaging, and/or attraction to a successful project. Expectations for a slower starting phase, consistent messaging, direct teamwork alongside citizen science divers during data collection, and involvement in some elements of project design were helpful in building participation. Having realistic expectations and  understanding the relationship between outreach effort and participant engagement level allows scientists starting citizen-science data efforts to better estimate resource requirements.

The present study was conducted on laying Japanese quail to evaluate the effect of optimum dietary level of Shatavari root powder (SRP) along with vitamin E supplementation on egg production and egg quality parameter. Two hundred laying Japanese quail of 7 week age were randomly distributed in 5 dietary treatment groups (40 birds in each treatment with 4 replications) and reared on standard managemental conditions. A maize, soybean and rice bran-based basal diet (BD) having all the nutrients in the required quantity was prepared for layeras per NRC (1994) standard.The SRP was added over the BD at 1.0% level (T2), 1.5% level (T3), BD with SRP @ 1% + vitamin E @ 250 mg/kg (T4) and BD with SRP @ 1.5% + vitamin E @ 250 mg/kg(T5), whereas the T1 group was feeding only BD and serves as control. Each of such diets was offered as mash ad libitum to laying Japanese quails reared on deep litter for a period of 7 weeks (7-14 weeks of age). The results indicated significantly (P<0.05) higher egg production (33.25±0.47) in treatment T5 containing 1.5 per cent SRP along with vitamin E @ 250 mg/kg compare to rest of treatment group and control on 14th weeks age of laying quail. Similarly, the results revealed that the egg weight and shell weight showed significant difference among different treatment groups at all the stages except total egg production. The average egg weight from 7th to 14th week age was significantly (P<005) higher (12.00±0.40) in T5 group as compared to rest of the treatment groups. The shell weight of eggs were significantly (P<0.05) higher in T5, T3, T1 as compared to rest of the treatment groups. It was concluded that inclusion of SRP with vitamin E combination 1.5% and @ 250 mg/kg levels to common feedstuffs is sufficient to support the optimum egg production and improve egg quality traits of Japanese quails and there is no need to supplement the diet with additional ingredients.

Published: November 2024

The challenges and other factors influencing entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs are phenomenal. They have manifested and metamorphosed in different ways for a long time, thereby impeding the success of the entrepreneurs, and affecting their business sustainability. An entrepreneur cannot progress without surmounting to a greater level these challenges (factors). However, variables from various theoretical factors were examined namely, sociological, psychological, innovative and the need for high achievement factors on three hundred and thirty-eight African immigrant entrepreneurs within the Central Business District (CBD) in Durban using cluster sampling technique. The outcome gave rise to the development of the framework of entrepreneurial success and sustainability, towards improved sustainability and successful entrepreneurship indicating that all four factors have positive significant influence on African immigrant-owned micro businesses in Durban, with innovation factors being more pronounced. The regression analysis showed that the model used accounts for 79% of the variance in improved sustainability. Hence, the power of the model is high, indicating that the variables under study play a key role towards entrepreneurial success and sustainability. These findings provide entrepreneurs with the required factors that will sustain their businesses. This study also provides additional insight for subsequent researchers in the form of findings and information on the topic of entrepreneurship and sustainability.
АПРОБАЦИЯ ШКАЛЫ ОЦЕНКИ КОМФОРТНОСТИ ГОРОДСКОЙ ИНФРАСТРУКТУРЫ ДЛЯ ЖЕНЩИН (НА ПРИМЕРЕ ОДНОГО ИЗ РАЙОНОВ ГОРОДА РОСТОВА-НА-ДОНУ)
Authors: Д.А. ГУГУЕВА
Published: November 2024

Различие между мужчинами и женщинами при использовании городской инфраструктуры (общественного транспорта, тротуаров, пандусов, магазинов, аптек и т.п.) детерминированы теми функциональными обязанностями, которые на них накладывает современное общество, так как в большинстве случаев именно женщина заботится о детях и пожилых родственниках, зачастую совмещая это с работой. Данное обстоятельство обуславливает ее традиционный маршрут по городу, который отличается от мужского. Цель данной статьи описать и классифицировать те требования, которые предъявляют женщины к городской инфраструктуре и провести оценку одного из микрорайонов города Ростова-на-Дону по выработанной шкале. Для достижения поставленной цели были поставлены и решены следующие задачи: на основании методов наблюдения и контент-анализа проведена классификация требований, которые предъявляют женщины к городской инфраструктуре, на основании классификации предложена система оценивания района/города, и далее эта система была апробирована на примере одного из микрорайонов города Ростова-на-Дону. По результатам проведенного исследования был определен уровень комфорта исследуемого микрорайона для женщин разных возрастов. По нашему мнению, предлагаемая оценка может быть использована в рамках социологического анализа городских пространств для дальнейшего повышения комфортабельности российских городов.

The differences between men and women in their use of urban infrastructure (public transport, sidewalks, ramps, shops, pharmacies, etc.) are influenced by the functional responsibilities imposed by contemporary society. In most cases, women are primarily responsible for the care of children and elderly relatives, often balancing these duties with their work. This results in a traditional route in the city for women that differs from that of men. The aim of this study is to describe and classify the requirements that women have for urban infrastructure and to evaluate one of the microdistricts in Rostov-on-Don using the developed scale. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set and solved: a classification of women’s requirements for urban infrastructure was conducted based on observational methods and content analysis; a system for evaluating districts/cities was proposed based on this classification; and this system was subsequently tested in one of the microdistricts of Rostov-on-Don. The results of the evaluation determined the comfort level of the studied microdistrict for women of various ages. We believe that the proposed evaluation can be used within the framework of sociological analysis of urban spaces to further enhance the comfort of Russian cities.
«НАЦИОНАЛИЗМ ОКАЗАЛСЯ СИЛЬНЕЕ ИДЕЙ БРАТСТВА[1]: МАСОНСКИЕ ИДЕИ В ОБЩЕСТВЕННО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОЙ ЖИЗНИ СЕВЕРОКАВКАЗСКОЙ ЭМИГРАЦИИ В 1920–1930-Е ГГ.
Authors: И.Л. БАБИЧ , Т.Л. БАБИЧ
Published: November 2024

В статье исследованы причины, по которым северокавказцы согласились на участие в деятельности русских (а затем и кавказских) лож во Франции в 1920–1930-е гг. Источники статьи – архивные материалы, полученные авторским коллективом в двух ложах Франции – Великой ложе Востока и Большой ложе Франции, а также материалы ложи «Северная звезда» (работы Л. Кандаурова, П. Переверзева и П. Бурышкина). Авторы выделяют три этапа массового привлечения кавказцев в русские ложи: 1923–1924 гг. – ложа «Астрея», 1924–1926 гг. – ложа «Золотое Руно», 1927–1928 гг. – ложа «Прометей». В статье показано, что мотивация и смысл пребывания северокавказцев в русских масонских ложах на протяжении вышеозначенных трех этапов были и общими, и одновременно разными. Авторы отвечают на вопрос: дал ли что-нибудь опыт участия северокавказских эмигрантов в трех масонских ложах для их общественно-политической жизни? Думается, что в целом для движения данный опыт не дал определенных результатов. Тем не менее, отдельные северокавказцы, такие как Г. Газданов, И. Гайдар, К.Н. Хагондоков, не только получили свой личный опыт в духовном развитии, но и принесли общественно-политическую пользу, но не для Кавказа, а в целом для русской эмиграции.

The article investigates the reasons why North Caucasians agreed to participate in the activities of Russian (and later Caucasian) lodges in France in the 1920s-1930s. The sources for this study include archival materials obtained by the authors from two lodges in France—the Grand Orient de France and the Grande Loge de France—as well as documents from the lodge “Northern Star” (the works of L. Kandaurov, P. Pereverzev, and P. Buryshkin). The authors identify three phases of mass recruitment of Caucasians into Russian lodges: 1923–1924, represented by the lodge “Astraea”; 1924–1926, associated with the lodge “Golden Fleece”; and 1927–1928, linked to the lodge “Prometheus”. The article demonstrates that the motivations and significance of North Caucasians’ involvement in Russian Masonic lodges during these three phases were both shared and distinct. The authors address the question of whether the experience of North Caucasian emigrants participating in these three Masonic lodges contributed to their socio-political life. It seems that, overall, this experience did not yield significant results for the movement. Nevertheless, individual North Caucasians, such as G. Gazdanov, I. Gaidar, and K.N. Khagondokov, not only gained personal insights into spiritual development but also provided socio-political benefits, albeit not for the Caucasus specifically, but rather for the Russian emigration community as a whole.
ПРИОРИТЕТНЫЕ НАПРАВЛЕНИЯ СТРАТЕГИЧЕСКОГО ПЛАНИРОВАНИЯ ИНФРАСТРУКТУРЫ МЕГАПОЛИСОВ: МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ТРАНСГРАНИЧНЫХ ИННОВАЦИЙ В РОССИЙСКО-КИТАЙСКОМ ПРИГРАНИЧЬЕ

Основная цель – рассмотрение приоритетных направлений стратегического планирования инновационного развития инфраструктуры мегаполисов и их роли в российско-китайском приграничье. Теоретико-методологическая базаисследования опирается на труды ведущих ученых и аналитиков в сфере экономической социологии и урбанистики, внешнеэкономического публичного дискурса, китаеведения, цифровой гуманитаристики и урбанистики, международного разделения труда и кооперации. За основу взята концепция «умный город», реализуемая в России и Китае. Основными задачами стали определение авторской позиции по планированию инновационных технологий в развитии инфраструктуры мегаполисов и крупных городов России и Китая, а также проведение типизации в условиях интенсивного сотрудничества и обмена технологиями. Итоговые результатыдемонстрируют расчеты оснований реструктуризации основных капитальных фондов для создания инновационной системы инфраструктуры мегаполисов для снижения социально-экономических рисков в российско-китайском приграничье с последующим формированием трансграничного сверхгорода, включенного в планы народнохозяйственного развития обеих стран. Авторы обосновывают введение таких понятий, как трансграничный мегаполис и трансграничная мегаполисная агломерация, доказывая ее обоснование на примере северо-восточных провинций Китая и Дальнего Востока России, демонстрируя параллели с историей государств и регионов Кавказа.

The main goal is to examine the priority directions of strategic planning for the innovative development of the infrastructure of megacities and their role in the Russian-Chinese border area. The theoretical and methodological basisof the research is based on the works of leading scientists and analysts in the field of economic sociology and urban studies, foreign economic public discourse, Chinese studies, digital humanities and urban studies, international division of labor and cooperation. The concept of a “smart city”, implemented in Russia and China, is taken as a basis. The main tasks include defining the author’s position on planning innovative technologies for the development of megacity and large urban infrastructure in Russia and China, as well as conducting typologies under conditions of intensive cooperation and technology exchange. The final results demonstrate calculations for the restructuring of the main capital funds to create an innovative system of megalopolis infrastructure to reduce socio-economic risks in the Russian-Chinese border area, subsequently facilitating the formation of a cross-border supercity integrated into the economic development plans of both countries. The authors substantiate the introduction of such concepts as a cross-border megapolis and a cross-border megalopolis agglomeration, proving its justification by the example of the northeastern provinces of China and the Russian Far East, while drawing parallels with the history of the states and regions of the Caucasus.
КИНЕМАТОГРАФ КАК ИНСТРУМЕНТ СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНОГО КОНСТРУИРОВАНИЯ
Authors: Е.А. ГЕРБУТ , А.А. ЕРЕМЕЕВА , М.А. ПАРИЙ
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается кинематограф в аспекте социокультурного проектирования. В исследовании прослеживается процесс становления кинематографа в качестве идеологического инструментария. В рамках данной темы даётся краткий обзор первых мыслителей, которые писали о роли кинематографа в формировании социокультурного контекста. В первой части работы обосновывается ценность кино как мультимедийного феномена, способного создавать смысловые образы. Проводится анализ идей учёных и деятелей искусства, таких как Лев Кулешов, Сергей Эйзенштейн, Всеволод Пудовкин, повлиявших на современный образ кино. Вторая часть посвящена концепции образа в кинематографе, предложенной Дзигой Вертовым и доработанной Жилем Делёзом. Согласно идеям Вертова, с помощью камеры и монтажа можно изменить передаваемый образ, заставить зрителя по-другому посмотреть на объект. Именно это свойство кино дает ему возможность создавать культурные концепты. В третьей части кратко рассматриваются концепции образа движения и образа времени, которые Ж. Делёз считал ядром кинематографа и основой смыслотворчества. Согласно французскому мыслителю, кино движет нашими мыслями с помощью этих двух основных концепций. Поскольку тема образов в анализе кино Делёза очень детализирована, в данной статье даётся только общий обзор образов.

The article examines cinematography from the perspective of socio-cultural design. The study traces the process of cinema becoming an ideological tool. Within the framework of this topic, a brief overview of the first thinkers who wrote about the role of cinema in shaping the sociocultural context is given. The first part of the work substantiates the value of cinema as a multimedia phenomenon capable of creating meaningful images. An analysis is carried out of the ideas of scientists and artists such as Lev Kuleshov, Sergey Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin who influenced the modern understanding of cinema. The second part is devoted to the concept of the image in cinema, as proposed by Dziga Vertov and further developed by Gilles Deleuze. According to Vertov’s ideas, with the help of a camera and editing, one can change the transmitted image and prompt the viewer to look at the object differently. This characteristic of cinema enables it to create cultural concepts. The third part briefly examines the concepts of the image of movement and the image of time, which J. Deleuze considered the core of cinema and the basis of meaning-making. According to the French thinker, cinema moves our thoughts through these two main concepts. Given that Deleuze’s analysis of images in cinema is highly detailed, this article provides only a general overview of these images.

The role and challenges of big data in healthcare informatics and analytics: Review
Authors: Alhamoud Mohammad Yahya , Sa'ad Ziyad Khalid Saeed , Alharbi Murad Salman
Published: November 2024

It appears that data-related research, and in particular big data research, is ongoing and producing results faster than we can keep up with. This has challenged us to prepare an updated version of this survey that will cover these fields in the future. It appears that big data and healthcare informatics applications need more research targeted towards them. This research needs to be directed in terms of both developing the most appropriate technology that is adequate for streamlining the new healthcare practices in various regions, as well as in comparison to the current technologies and practices, and targeting research towards ways of coordinating healthcare professionals and hospital financial departments. Collaborative and interdisciplinary research among various stakeholders and professionals is also critical in overcoming the challenges related to big data and healthcare informatics. Moreover, besides the new big data technologies and practices developed alongside the fourth industrial revolution, future evolution needs to be supported by the development of appropriate regulatory frameworks. These may also embrace existing ethical considerations and constraints, particularly those related to making data available for researchers. Finally, the importance of having alternative and continued training for healthcare professionals related to data ethics and legal considerations is a must.

Background Tracheal intubation in critically sick patients presents a significant risk of complications attributable to variables such as respiratory failure, hemodynamic instability, and drug sensitivity. Present recommendations mostly depend on expert opinion and data from elective intubations, lacking substantial evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in critical care environments (ICU, ED, general wards). This systematic review sought to assess high-quality evidence-based methods for intubation in critically sick patients, concentrating on pharmacological agents, techniques, and equipment. Methods A thorough search of PubMed, BioMed Central, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials found pertinent randomized controlled trials examining treatments aimed at enhancing the success rate and safety of tracheal intubation in critically sick patients. A meta-analysis was conducted when applicable. Results Intubation problems in critically sick patients vary from 4.2% to 39%. Pre-oxygenation by non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has shown enhanced effectiveness over conventional techniques in extending safe apnea duration and minimizing desaturation. Although high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) enhanced comfort, its advantages for apneic oxygenation were restricted in this demographic. Etomidate and ketamine had equivalent safety and effectiveness as sedatives, whilst succinylcholine and rocuronium showed similar success rates as neuromuscular blocking drugs. The sniffing position outperformed the ramping position for laryngoscopy.
Experiencias de movilidad. Una ventana al mundo.
Authors: García Valencia Ana Cecilia , Sánchez Alfaro Gabriela
Published: November 2024

Experiencias de movilidad: Una ventana al mundo es una recopilación de 24 textos escritos por estudiantes, egresados y egresadas de la Universidad de Colima, quienes nos comparten sus vivencias de intercambio nacional e internacional. A través de sus letras podemos viajar a diferentes destinos, probar la paella española, el kimchi coreano, caminar por las calles de Veracruz o por los caminos nevados de Canadá, entre muchas otras vivencias. En estos relatos sin filtro, cada estudiante nos permite mirar a través de sus ojos lo que es adentrarse a otras culturas, sistemas de evaluación, climas y vivir con personas de diferentes países. Con una honestidad digna de reconocerse, los textos están plagados de nostalgia por México, de reconocer y añorar el hogar a miles de kilómetros de distancia; nos invitan a estar en la disposición de seguir sorprendiéndonos por las aventuras y hacen hincapié en la enorme oportunidad que representó esta experiencia. El común denominador de estos relatos es el agradecimiento, no sólo a su Alma Mater, sino también a sus padres y a un país que les ha permitido formarse y prepararse para su desarrollo académico en lugares al interior de México o en países como Perú, Chile, Italia, India, Alemania, España, Corea del Sur, Canadá y Tailandia. Por primera vez podemos escuchar las voces de estudiantes que comparten su sentir a un nivel personal, académico y cultural. Es un libro que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia de abrir la mente a lo nuevo, a lo desconocido, a observar sin juzgar y a disfrutar la vida en ambientes multiculturales.
