Paradigm shifts: exploring AI's influence on qualitative inquiry and analysis
Authors: Williams Ryan Thomas
Published: December 2024

Technology has mostly been embraced in qualitative research as it has not directly conflicted with qualitative methods' paradigmatic underpinnings. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in particular the process of automating the analysis of qualitative research, has the potential to be in conflict with the assumptions of interpretivism. The short article aims to explore how AI technologies, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), have started to be used to analyze qualitative data. While this can speed up the analysis process, it has also sparked debates within the interpretive paradigm about the validity and ethics of these methods. I argue that research underpinned by the human researcher for contextual understanding and final interpretation should mostly remain with the researcher. AI might overlook the subtleties of human communication. This is because automated programmes with clear rules and formulae do not work well-under interpretivism's assumptions. Nevertheless, AI may be embraced in qualitative research in a partial automation process that enables researchers to conduct rigorous, rapid studies that more easily incorporate the many benefits of qualitative research. It is possible that AI and other technological advancements may lead to new research paradigms that better underpin the contemporary digital researcher. For example, we might see the rise of a “computational” paradigm. While AI promises to enhance efficiency and rigor in data analysis, concerns remain about its alignment with interpretivism.
Fair prices for fair wages in the agro-food chain: is farm production efficiency the missing link? Evidence from the processing tomato sector in Italy
Authors: Marchini Andrea , Ciliberti Stefano , Gastaldin Nadia , Turchetti Luca , Martino Gaetano
Published: December 2024

It is usually believed that the position of farmers along the agro-food supply chains is weak, and this circumstance leads farms to achieve modest prices for their products and, in turn, capture only a small share of the added value. Such a situation substantially limits farms’ efforts to adequately remunerate the resources employed, including contract and hired labor. This article argues that, while the unfavorable position of farms is a valid concern, it is also crucial to consider how the efficient use of resources employed in agriculture impacts their remuneration, by means of price mechanisms. An empirical analysis conducted on a FADN sample of farms producing processing tomatoes over the years 2014–2018 reveals that the product price which allows for adequate compensation of hired agricultural labor decreases with increasing efficiency. At the same time, all other things being equal, for price levels above the theoretical one, the profit of the farms increases and the possibility for fairer wages as well.
Methadone in Cancer-Related Neuropathic Pain: A Narrative Review
Authors: Ragaban Faten , Purohit Om , Del Fabbro Egidio
Published: December 2024

Background and Objective: Cancer-related neuropathic pain (CRNP) is often a significant burden on patients’ quality of life. There are limited treatment guidelines for cancer-related neuropathic pain outside of CIPN. Although opioids are considered a third-line treatment option, no consensus exists on which opioid is most effective, either as a single agent or in combination with other medications. Our aim is to review and update the literature for methadone use in CRNP, since the last review was conducted in 2006. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed to evaluate the use of methadone in cancer-related neuropathic pain. Articles were identified from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library using the following keywords: “methadone AND cancer pain AND neuropathic pain” and “cancer-related opioid treatment”. Results: Studies were included if they evaluated methadone’s efficacy or safety in neuropathic pain management for patients with cancer. This review focused on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and observational studies published between 2000 and 2024. Studies were excluded if they lacked specific data on cancer-related neuropathic pain or were case reports. Conclusions: The unique mechanisms of action and preliminary clinical trials support methadone’s status as the first opioid to consider for CRNP when non-opioid first-line treatments have failed to alleviate patient symptoms. Methadone can also be considered as a first-line opioid in patients with mixed nociceptive–neuropathic pain and any of the following features: renal dysfunction; administration of opioids through a feeding tube; a lack of financial resources/insurance; and a switch from another high-dose opioid. More research is needed regarding methadone for CRNP and methadone’s preferential use in specific sub-groups of patients.
Vulnerability in Colorectal Cancer: Adjusted Gross Income and Geography as Factors in Determining Overall Survival in Colorectal Cancer: A Single-Center Study Across a Broad Income Inequality in an American Context

Introduction: Regional differences in socioeconomic status (SES) are well known, and we believe that the use of geocoding (zip code) can facilitate the introduction of targeted interventions for underserved populations. This is a single-center, retrospective analysis of data extracted from the cancer registry at the Capital Health Cancer Center in Pennington, N. The Capital Health Cancer Center in central New Jersey primarily serves two counties, catering to a diverse patient population from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Methods: We abstracted 1269 consecutive cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosed and treated between 2000 and 2019 from the Cancer Registry of the Capital Health Cancer Center (CHCC). Using the definition of SES based on previously published work, and zip codes (geocoding), we created four SES levels. We stratified our subjects according to their stage at diagnosis, age at diagnosis, race, and ethnicity. The primary outcome variable was overall survival (OS). Results: There was a statistically significant difference in OS based on SES, with the highest overall survival (OS) in the high-SES group (47 months) and the shortest OS in the low and mid-low-SES groups (40.4 and 30 months, respectively). Subjects living in high-SES areas were predominantly white (88.2%) and diagnosed at a later age (mean of 68.9 years of age) compared to individuals who lived in a low-SES area, who were predominantly non-white (72.6%) and diagnosed somewhat earlier in life (65.1 years of age). White people were diagnosed later in life (70.9 years of age) compared to non-white populations, including Black (66.5), Asian (61.7), and Hispanic (58.5) (p = 0.001) populations, but this did not lead to a significant difference in OS (p = 0.56). Stage at diagnosis was a significant predictor of OS, but was unrelated to SES (p = 0.066). A Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) model showed that the risk of dying from colorectal cancer decreases with a higher socioeconomic status (SES). Those from mid-high-SES backgrounds had a 19% lower risk (HR 0.81), and those from high-SES areas had a 45% lower risk (HR 0.55) compared to individuals from low-SES areas. Conclusions: The vulnerability of patients with CRC in central New Jersey is a complex issue, influenced by many different variables. Our results indicate that SES is the most critical factor affecting OS after being diagnosed with CRC.
Design Methodology and Economic Impact of Small-Scale HAWT Systems for Urban Distributed Energy Generation
Authors: Budanko Marina , Guzović Zvonimir
Published: December 2024

Integrating wind turbines within urban environments, either as building-mounted units or standalone installations, represents a valuable step toward sustainable city development. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are commonly favored in these settings due to their ability to handle turbulent winds; however, they generally exhibit lower energy conversion efficiency compared to horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). Selecting optimal urban or suburban locations with favorable wind conditions opens the possibility of deploying HAWTs, leveraging their higher efficiency even at comparable wind speeds. This paper presents a methodology for designing highly efficient HAWTs for urban use, supported by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses to produce power curves and evaluate the energy conversion efficiency of both bare and augmented turbine designs. Differing from prior studies, this work also incorporates a detailed economic analysis, examining how reductions in the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) enhance the cost-effectiveness of small-scale distributed wind systems. The findings offer insights into the technical and economic viability of small-scale HAWT configurations for distributed energy generation across diverse urban locations with varying wind profiles.
Construction of Photothermal Intelligent Membranes for Point-of-Use Water Treatment
Authors: Jiang Hong , Wang Jiarong , Liang Ying , Qiao Chuan
Published: December 2024

For the removal of waterborne pathogens in remote areas and disaster emergency situations, point-source water treatment methods are more suitable. Photothermal sterilization is ideal for point-of-use (POU) systems, as it effectively eliminates pathogens without secondary pollution or bacterial resistance issues. By combining photothermal with membrane treatment, these membranes rapidly heat up under near-infrared (NIR) light, enabling both bacterial retention and sterilization. However, the decrease in membrane flux due to pore clogging during water treatment can significantly impact membrane efficiency. And adjusting the membrane pore size can significantly enhance flux recovery during cleaning, thereby restoring membrane efficiency. By synthesis multifunctional membranes that combine bacteria retention, sterilization, and flux recovery, it can meet the requirements of point-source water treatment: compact size, high efficiency, good safety, and easy maintenance. In this study, we developed an intelligent thermally responsive membrane (NIPAN@CNTs/PAN) by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and forming a copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide and polyacrylonitrile (NIPAN) coating into polyacrylonitrile membranes, offering dual functions of photothermal sterilization and self-cleaning. With 3% CNTs, the membrane achieves 100% sterilization within 6 min of NIR exposure, while the NIPAN layer’s added roughness boosts photothermal efficiency, achieving 100% sterilization within 4 min. Rinsing at 50 °C improved flux recovery from 50% to 87% and reduced irreversible fouling from 49.7% to 12.9%, demonstrating stable performance over multiple cycles and highlighting its potential for long-term use in practical POU applications.

Despite many years of research and continuous improvements in scientific equipment, some of the thermodynamic properties of binary systems are still unknown, or are only theoretically predicted or calculated. This situation often arises from the difficulties in preparing alloys for experimental measurements. The alloys from the Mg-Pd system, especially for the Pd-rich side, are difficult to produce, and the availability of thermodynamic data is very limited. Therefore, this paper presents calorimetric studies on the standard enthalpy of formation of alloys from the Mg-Pd system, which were prepared using mechanical alloying. Three alloys (S1, S2, and S3) were synthesized, homogenized, and subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to investigate their phase composition. The XRD studies showed that the alloys designated as S1 and S2 were the intermetallic phases Mg6Pd and Mg0.9Pd1.1, and the S3 sample was a mixture of MgPd and MgPd3 intermetallic phases. Their heat effects, measured by drop calorimetry, were used to calculate the values of the standard enthalpies of formation of the prepared phases. The values obtained were as follows: −27.5 ± 1.1 kJ/mol at. for the Mg6Pd intermetallic phase, −72.7 ± 1.0 kJ/mol at. for the Mg0.9Pd1.1 intermetallic phase, and −46.8 ± 1.5 kJ/mol at. for the alloy which was a mixture of MgPd and MgPd3. These data were compared with values from the existing literature on the enthalpy of formation of alloys, as well as with data calculated using Miedema’s model.

Influenza is a disease of significant morbidity and mortality. The number of anti-influenza drugs is small; many of them stimulate the appearance of resistant strains. This article presents the results of assessing the antiviral activity of 1,2,3-triazole-containing derivatives of alkaloid lupinine for their ability to suppress the reproduction of orthomyxoviruses (influenza viruses: A/Vladivostok/2/09 (H1N1) and A/Almaty/8/98 (H3N2)). The ability of (1S,9aR)-1-[(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-methyl]octahydro-1H-quinolizines with aryl-, 4-((4-formylphenoxy)methyl)- or 4-((3-tert-butyl-5-ethyl-2-hydroxy-benzoyloxy)methyl)- substituents at the C-4 position of the triazole ring to reduce the infectivity of the virus when processing virus-containing material was established, indicating good prospects for the studied compounds as virucidal agents affecting extracellular virions. The experimental results demonstrated that the triazolyl lupinine derivatives exhibited varying degrees of affinity for both hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins. Furthermore, these compounds demonstrated inhibitory effects on the replication of influenza viruses with different antigenic subtypes. The obtained biological data are in agreement with the results of molecular docking, which showed strong binding energies of the investigated compounds under study with biological targets—hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins. Following the evaluation of antiviral efficacy among the studied triazolyl derivatives of lupinine, four compounds have been identified for subsequent comprehensive in vitro and in vivo investigations to further elucidate their antiviral properties.

Published: December 2024

Though antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) are required for hospitals, the involvement of transplant recipients in programmatic interventions, protocols, and metrics has historically been limited. Though there is a growing interest in studying stewardship practices in transplant patients, optimal practices have not been clearly established. A component of ASPs, antiviral stewardship (AVS), specifically targeting cytomegalovirus (CMV), has been more recently described. Understanding AVS opportunities and interventions is particularly important for transplant recipients, given the morbidity and mortality associated with viral infections, challenging clinical syndromes, ultrasensitive molecular diagnostic assays, antiviral resistance, and costs of viral disease and medications, as well as antiviral drug toxicities. This review highlights opportunities for AVS for CMV, EBV, HSV, VZV, SARS-CoV-2, respiratory syncytial virus, and BK polyomavirus in transplant patients.

In recent decades, there has been an increase in the incidence of both sexual identity disorders and
schizophrenia among psychiatric hospital patients. These conditions are often accompanied by high levels of comorbidity and the risk of self-destructive behavior, including self-harm. Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to the emergence and exacerbation of these conditions is extremely important for the development
of effective drug and psychotherapeutic treatment approaches. The purpose of the work was to
analyze the factors that contribute to the occurrence of self-harm in this category of patients on the example of a clinical case, as well as to evaluate existing approaches in treatment and psychosocial rehabilitation.
The study used clinical-psychopathological, clinical-dynamic, and experimental-psychological methods of
analyzing the mental manifestations of a patient with schizophrenia and a sexual identity disorder who performed an independent bilateral orchiectomy, guided by delusional judgments. Establishing the motivation for self-harm presents certain difficulties due to their unpredictability and impulsivity, especially in schizophrenia patients. Understanding the relationship between these disorders and self-harm is key to developing more effective treatment approaches. The comorbidity of sexual identity disorders and schizophrenia requires careful analysis of not only clinical, but also socio-cultural factors contributing to the formation of self-destructive
behavior, which emphasizes the need for comprehensive methods for the assessment, treatment,
and rehabilitation of such patients, making it possible to identify both internal and external factors provoking auto-aggressive behavior.

Published: December 2024

A ingestão aguda de cafeína é capaz de aumentar a força e a potência muscular. Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar as evidências sobre o impacto da cafeína no exercício físico. Através de uma revisão abrangente da literatura existente, busca-se fornecer uma análise detalhada das dosagens eficazes, oferecendo uma base para a categorização da cafeína como um auxiliar ergogênico eficiente em exercícios de força e de resistência. Para a elaboração do trabalho foram selecionados artigos disponíveis no banco de dados Medline, que atendessem aos critérios de inclusão: estudos experimentais (grupos controle e experimental); utilização de delineamento cego ou duplo-cego; realização de ingestão aguda de cafeína ou bebidas contendo cafeína em dose conhecida; utilização de protocolo de exercícios de força ou de resistência. A dose utilizada nos estudos varia de 3 mg/kg até 11 mg/kg de massa corporal. A cafeína pode melhorar a força, potência muscular e resistência em treinamentos, com doses agudas de 3 mg/kg sendo eficazes. Doses mais altas (6, 9 e 11 mg/kg) aumentam a força, mas também podem causar maior fadiga. O nível de treinamento não afeta esses resultados e a cafeína não influencia significativamente antioxidantes ou marcadores de dano muscular. Homens e mulheres treinados podem se beneficiar igualmente, especialmente em exercícios com cargas moderadas a altas. A cafeína é recomendada para otimizar o desempenho e pode reduzir a percepção subjetiva do esforço.

Published: December 2024

As plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC) podem ampliar as fontes de nutrientes para a população, devido à alta diversidade das espécies vegetais presentes no Brasil. O Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) é um dos exemplos de PANC, nativa da Amzônia e ainda pouco explorada, principalmente em relação ao seu valor nutricional. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver e avaliar o potencial nutracêutico de uma droga vegetal a base de camu-camu, bem como realizar a encapsulação e controle de qualidade das mesmas. A amostra utilizada foi a droga vegetal do fruto maduro, colhido em praias da região Oeste do Pará, obtida por desidratação e triturada em liquidificador industrial. Foram determinados o pH, índice de acidez, índice de intumescência, granulometria, teores de umidade, cinzas, lipídeos, proteínas, carboidratos, vitamina C, atividade antioxidante e antimicrobiana, e realizada a encapsulação, bem como testes de peso médio e desintegração. O pH obteve resultado de 4,5 ±0. A acidez do fruto foi de 2,9%±0,07, enquanto que o Índice de Intumescência foi de 1,75%±1,06. O pó obtido foi considerado grosso. Além disso, a umidade presente se destacou em 25,65%±0,01, enquanto que as cinzas foram de 0,54%±0,178. Os dados de lipídeos, proteínas e carboidratos foram, respectivamente, 1,24%±0,29, 5,39%±3,54 e 67,19%±3,66. O teor de vitamina C foi de 1,1132 mg/g±0,22. Os testes de peso médio e desintegração estavam dentro dos padrões esperado pela farmacopeia. O fruto não teve atividade antimicrobiana neste estudo. Apesar disso, o camu-camu apresentou esse potencial em trabalhos de outros autores. Assim, esse fruto pode ser utilizado tanto na indústria alimentícia quanto na farmacêutica, de forma que ele possa atuar como uma nova perspectiva os futuros medicamentos e suplementos alimentares funcionais.

Os casos de infecções virais congênitas têm representado um desafio crescente para a saúde pública em todo o mundo. O presente estudo possui objetivos de descrever os principais efeitos das infecções congênitas na saúde neonatal e as estratégias de prevenção e manejo adotadas pelos sistemas de saúde. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura cujos dados foram coletados nas bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), publicados no período compreendido entre 2019 a 2024. Como resultados, após a avaliação na íntegra das 18 publicações, 6 foram excluídas por não apresentarem um conteúdo pertinente, restando 12 trabalhos para constituir o banco de dados dessa pesquisa. Autores descrevem que, quanto mais precoce a infecção pelo vírus na gravidez, maior o envolvimento do sistema nervoso central e a ausência de microcefalia no nascimento não descarta a infecção na gestação, e/ou danos no neonato, enfatizando assim a importância do acompanhamento rigoroso no pré-natal. Concluiu-se que as falhas no acompanhamento pré-natal das progenitoras podem ter interferido no desfecho do parto, acarretando consequências para o período neonatal dos bebês avaliados.

Published: December 2024

We evaluated the lethal doses (LD50 and LD80) of the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion on a wild strain of Schistocerca gregaria through topical application at different concentrations. Treatments were administered under extreme conditions, specifically between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. and between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. The results revealed nychthemeral variations in sensitivity to the insecticide, with differences in mortality between individuals treated in the morning and those treated in the evening. The data indicate that, at all tested doses, mortality was generally higher in L5 larvae treated in the morning compared to those treated in the evening, with observed mortality differences ranging from 2% to 7%.

Published: December 2024

In this study it was aimed to investigate effects of ozone treatment during incubation of broiler eggs as an alternative application for fumigation. A total of 240 eggs from 45-week-old Ross 308 broiler breeder flocks were utilized. The eggs were weighed and randomly assigned to two groups: one without ozone and one with ozone. A commercial ozone generator was placed in the incubator, with ozone gas generated for 1 minute every hour to provide ozone gas at a concentration of 0.050 ppm. Throughout the 18-day incubation phase, ozone gas was applied in three-day cycles. On the 18th day of incubation, six randomly selected eggs from each experimental group were placed in sterile bags to assess the microbial load of the eggshell. Furthermore, six eggs were randomly selected from each experimental group to assess embryo growth. The total aerobic bacteria and Coliform sp. count were found higher in control than ozone group (P < 0.01). The yeast mold count, egg weight, embryo weight and embryo yolk sac weight were found to be similar between the groups (P > 0.05). It can be determined that using ozone instead of fumigation during incubation in broiler chicken eggs reduces eggshell total aerobic bacteria and coliform counts, but not affected to embryo traits such as weight, yolk sac weight and length.

Authors: da Rocha Martins Renata Moquillaza
Published: December 2024

The objective of this Article is to demonstrate how arbitration proceedings involving publicly listed corporations, multiple shareholders, and consolidation of proceedings are being processed in Brazil. Some listed companies in Brazil are required to submit to arbitration all corporate disputes, and there is no procedural rule set forth by law or by the rules of some of the arbitration chambers in Brazil on how to consolidate similar proceedings initiated by different parties on the same issues, and how to decide on the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunals. This issue has since been discussed by scholars, legislators, and arbitration chambers, that propose different solutions, and has recently been ruled by The Brazilian Superior Court of Justice. Within this context, a deductive approach will be applied to the Article, with bibliographic and case-law research.

The translational turn in narrative medicine: A study of Margherita Guidacci’s Neurosuite
Authors: Arnaldi Marta
Published: December 2024

This essay invokes a translational turn in narrative medicine. My argument is grounded in two primary considerations: first, that illness is a fundamentally estranging experience resembling that of speaking a foreign language, and second, that discourses of and around health and disease have been dominated by narrative paradigms that have failed to capture the essentially translational (as in foreign and foreignizing) speech, or lack thereof, of those who suffer. This argument challenges the master plot of illness as narrative in favour of a disruptive idea of illness as translation. Margherita Guidacci’s Neurosuite (1999a; first published 1970)—a collection of 80 poems recounting the poet-patient’s experience of incarceration in a psychiatric hospital in Italy—serves as a primary source of translational epistemology and psychiatric knowledge. Through the analysis of selected passages, I demonstrate how translation itself is a self-critical concept and practice that invites us to question our beliefs and values, including the assumption that translating is always beneficial and harmless. At times, I argue, it is important to preserve the incommunicable and the untranslatable as ethical and just forms of knowledge, especially in contexts of psychiatric suffering. A translational approach to narrative medicine can assist us in addressing, and potentially exploiting, these epistemic gaps, thereby putting the experience of the sufferer at the forefront of both clinical and literary practice.

Translating concepts from Latin American philosophy: Ontologies and aesthetics in the work of Rodolfo Kusch
Authors: Price Joshua M.
Published: December 2024

In El pensamiento indígena y popular en América (1977), philosopher Rodolfo Kusch aims to recuperate a form of thinking he believes lies at the root of the American continent. Thinking in and from the Americas has an ontological dimension for him: being in the Americas is different from being in Europe, and Kusch ties this ontological distinction to a linguistic and grammatical distinction in Latin American Spanish that does not exist in English (ser vs. estar). These and other key concepts posed a challenge for my co-translator, the late Maria Lugones, and me as we set out to produce an English translation of Kusch’s book. The purpose of this article is to consider how translating challenging concepts of this type can bring worldviews and linguistic horizons into new relationships with one another and engender new intellectual narratives and traditions. Moreover, translating concepts can be a means of analyzing or interpreting those concepts (Gaddis Rose, 1998), and is hence a productive exercise in its own right. The article focuses on several concepts that are difficult to translate and that Kusch identifies in Latin American Spanish as his entry points to uncover the bases for an autochthonous Américan philosophical tradition. These concepts include América (which could be misleadingly translated as “America”); pulcritud (order or cleanliness) in contrast to hedor (stench) as a binary at the heart of Latin American modernity; and, most of all, the distinction in Spanish between estar and ser, on which Kusch bases a complex ontological theory informed by Quechua and Aymara thinking.

Optimal Inventory Policy for Lowering the Cost of Decentralized Framework Via Side-Chain Transaction
Authors: Verma Rohit Kuma , Mamita Mamita
Published: December 2024

The global supply lines of incredible defenselessness have been exposed by COVID-19. Item
accessibility becomes a critical consideration in such extreme cases. This research examines oblique
transference, a crucial inventory management technique under decentralized frameworks that may be crucial in
handling stock outs during unexpected emergencies. In addition to responding quickly to stock outs, horizontal
transshipments are also very environmentally friendly because they significantly lower generation and
transportation-related pollutants. In a decentralized setting, this study considers optimal horizontal
transshipment and replenishment decisions. We construct a multi-stage stochastic model that accounts for client
exchanging behavior and request instability. We demonstrate that the optimal transshipment decision follows a
double-threshold structure, much like in the centralized setting. Two estimating mechanisms the arranged
component (NP) and the individual mechanism (IP) are used to determine the optimal renewal quantities. The

This research is critical because accurately predicting future land requirements directly
impacts food security in the region. The government and interested parties can make more precise and strategic
planning by projecting land needs. This allows for optimal land allocation for various purposes, such as
farming, housing, and more. This study focuses on Blangkejeren District to estimate the demand for rice fields
in the future to support food security in the sub-district. Complex data analysis is performed using Powersim
Studio 10 Express software to develop the model. Primary information comes from related agencies like the
Gayo Lues Central Statistics Agency, Bappeda Gayo Lues, and the Gayo Lues Agriculture Office. The yearly
additional predicted rice field area for Blangkejeren District shows a steadily increasing trend from 2025 to
2045. In 2025, the extra rice field region was estimated to be approximately 1818.64 hectares. This prediction
demonstrates a consistent annual growth, with an additional rice field area attaining over 2677.78 hectares by
2045. The study results show that population expansion in Blangkejeren District from 2025 to 2045 will cause a
significant rise in food demand, which also carries implications for land needs. On that basis, sustainable and
strategic planning in land administration and improving agricultural efficiency is the key to ensuring future
community welfare and food security.

SEMANTIC TRANSFORMATION OF THE TERM IMAGE IN MODERN LITERATURE
Authors: KHATAMOVA Dilfuza
Published: December 2024

This article examines the problems of replenishing the modern literary terminological system with new concepts and issues of transforming the boundaries of the sphere of perception of the term and its semantics in Russian terminology. As a result of the expansion of the boundaries of the sphere of perception of the term image in modern literary criticism, a new type of image appears — an image-symbol, which requires the formulation of questions of identification, interpretation, transformation, and equivalence of the concept. The article identifies the factors of the origin and replenishment of the typology of the modern image, the definition of its semantic field, and the boundaries of the sphere of perception through a review and generalization of modern theoretical concepts, problems of identification of definitions of terms, as well as the problem of their interpretation within the framework of the latest methodologies. The purpose of the study is to disclose the issues of selecting equivalents in the Uzbek language to borrowed terms entered through the Russian language and to consider their competent usage.
ARCHPRIEST AVVAKUM: THE FUSION OF TRADITIONS AND INNOVATION IN THE SYMBOLISM OF THE “LIFE”
Authors: TSOY Marina
Published: December 2024

The article examines the transitional period of Russian literature of the XVII century, when important changes occurred in the system of genres and stylistic trends. Particular attention is paid to the process of confrontation between the traditional Byzantine orientation and new Western European influences. The key figure in the literature of that time is Archpriest Avvakum, whose "Life" is considered as a unique example of a combination of old and new literary traditions. Researchers note that although Avvakum did not strive to become an innovator, his works are distinguished by extraordinary expressiveness and originality. Analyzing the language and style of the "Life", the authors of the article point out a complex combination of canonical and colloquial elements and emphasize the significance of biblical quotations and symbols in the text. The article analyzes the symbolic system of "The Life of Archpriest Avvakum". The main attention is paid to the relationship between traditional symbols and the author's imagery to discover particular details regarding the images embedded in the symbolism. The narrative of the Life unfolds in two planes - sacred and ordinary, which are traditional for medieval literature. The peculiarity of the text is the innovative combination of the heavenly and the earthly, which violates the established ancient Russian literary canon

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant postoperative complication that contributes to increased morbidity, prolonged
hospital stays, and healthcare costs. Understanding the incidence, risk factors, and preventive measures is essential for improving patient
outcomes. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the incidence of SSIs in general surgical patients, identify key
risk factors, and assess the effectiveness of prophylactic strategies, particularly antibiotic use. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted
across databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library, identifying 30 relevant studies published from 2019 to 2024. Data were
extracted regarding sample size, type of surgery, incidence of SSIs, associated risk factors, and microbiological findings. Arandom-effects model
was utilized to calculate the pooled incidence and odds ratios (OR) for risk factors. Results: The pooled incidence of SSIs across the studies was
13.5% (95% CI: 11.3%–16.7%). Significant risk factors included obesity (aRR: 2.5), diabetes (OR: 5.07), smoking (OR: 21.15), and prolonged
surgery duration (OR: 1.42). The most commonly isolated organisms included Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella spp.
Prophylactic antibiotics demonstrated effectiveness in reducing SSI rates, although extended use raised concerns about antibiotic resistance.
Conclusion: SSIs remain a major challenge in general surgery, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to mitigate risk factors and optimize
antibiotic prophylaxis. Enhanced infection control practices are crucial for reducing SSI incidence and improving patient care outcomes.
