Authors: Bobos Iryna , Komar Oleksandr , Fedosiy Ivan , Shemetun Oleksandr
Published: October 2023

To achieve the optimal compromise between yield and soil fertility that will help balance two important aspects of agricultural production – high crop yields and long-term soil fertility – it is necessary to understand the impact of changing row spacing on vegetable crop growth and the soil environment. The research aims to determine the adaptive properties of the Pharaoh variety by studying the feeding area and plant density to obtain high-quality chufa nodules in the Kyiv region. The main research methods were field studies and analysis of the variance of morphological traits and economically valuable indicators of chufa. It was found that different plant densities had an impact on the development of vegetative organs of chufa due to competition for resources during the growing season. The variety “Pharaoh” showed a high intensity of aboveground mass formation in sparse crops with a plant density in the range of 28-33 thousand plants per hectare, with the number of leaf bundles reaching 145.2-147.4 pieces, and their average height is 50.4-52.3 centimetres. At the same time, the size of the nodules increased with a lower plant density, since with a larger feeding area, plants formed more powerful ones with thicker leaf bundles. Plants arranged in a 60 × 60 cm spacing (28 thousand plants/ha) formed larger nodules with the largest dimensions: 3.1 cm in length, 1.0 cm in width, and 1.2 cm in thickness. It has been substantiated that chufa of the “Pharaoh” variety was characterised by higher economic and valuable indicators under the schemes of planting 60×50 and 60×60 cm nodules. The high marketable yield of freshly harvested nodules was formed at a plant density of 28-33 thousand units/ha and amounted to 4.2-4.6 t/ha. The highest average yield of nodules after drying was obtained under the plant spacing of 60 x 60 and 60 x 50 cm, which was 3.35 and 2.99 t/ha, which was 20.9 and 7.8% higher than the control, respectively. Chufa is a promising crop in terms of food security and income generation, and precise management of plant placement will help to balance yield and soil fertility

Published: October 2023

Agricultural producers use large quantities of mineral fertilisers and plant protection products, which leads to soil, seed and environmental pollution and reduces the profitability of production. Modern agriculture starts to shift its focus to biologisation, which includes the development and implementation of environmentally friendly alternative systems, the reduction of chemicals, the introduction of energy and resource-saving technologies, use of biological plant protection products and bio-organic fertilisers. The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of biological technologies for growing maize in an environmentally friendly way using various organic fertilisers. The following methods were used to study the new corn growing technology: analysis, synthesis, analogy, comparison, and generalisation; field and laboratory; calculation – assessment of economic and bioenergy efficiency. To study the effect of organic fertilisers of different biological origins on the assessment of the humus state of typical chernozems, field experiments were conducted to assess the impact on corn grain yield in the Ukrainian Steppe. After the application of organic fertiliser, the limits of organic carbon content in humus were 3.2-3.5%, humic acid 1.9-2.2%, and fulvic acid 0.7-1.0%. In the experimental samples of maize grain, the content of crude protein ranged from 13.5 to 14.0%, crude fat from 2.4 to 2.7%, crude fibre from 2.1 to 2.4%, crude ash from 1.3 to 1.7%, and nitrogen-free extractives from 64.7 to 67.4%, moisture from 12.0 to 14.9%. The grain yield in the control variant was 9.7 t/ha, and in the experimental plots, it was 11.5-13.4 t/ha. The data obtained can help in the development of biologically based maize cultivation technology following the ecological gradient of cultivation and yield with optimisation of the studied agrotechnical methods

Published: October 2023

Proper nutrition will help increase productivity, on the other hand, an imbalance of nutrients can cause damage to plants. Hydroponic cultivation is expected to play a role in saving the use of nutrients more effectively. The combination of amino acids and vitamin B1 was given at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 30 mL/L) respectively. Measurements included plant height (cm), weight (gram), diameter (mm), and fruit flesh thickness (mm) as well as the total sugar content (Brix). Results showed that increasing the concentration did not significantly affect the response. The results of the LSD test showed that the addition of amino acid and vitamin B1 at doses of 10 mL/L was significantly different for the fruit diameter, explaining that increasing the dose of nutrients does not always have the best impact. Thus, the addition of a combination of amino acids and vitamin B1 for melon cultivation can be given at it lowest dose (10 mL/L).

A Novel Method for Solving Multi-objective Shortest Path Problem in Respect
of Probability Theory
Authors: Zheng Maosheng , Yu Jie
Published: October 2023

Transportation process or activity can be considered as a multi-objective problem reasonably. However, it is difficult to obtain an absolute shortest path with optimizing the multiple objectives at the same time by means of Pareto approach. In this paper, a novel method for solving multi-objective shortest path problem in respect of probability theory is developed, which aims to get the rational solution of multi-objective shortest path problem. Analogically, each objective of the shortest path problem is taken as an individual event, thus the concurrent optimization of many objectives equals to the joint event of simultaneous occurrence of the multiple events, and therefore the simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives can be solved on basis of probability theory rationally. The partial favorable probability of each objective of every scheme (routine) is evaluated according to the actual preference degree of the utility indicator of the objective. Moreover, the product of all partial favorable probabilities of the utility of objective of each scheme (routine) casts the total favorable probability of the corresponding scheme (routine), which results in the decisively unique indicator of the scheme (routine) in the multi-objective shortest path problem in the point of view of system theory. Thus, the optimum solution of the multi-objective shortest path problem is the scheme (routine) with highest total favorable probability. Finally, an application example is given to illuminate the approach.

Scientific activity is of particular interest to Republic of Croatia, as it holds a special place in the international (and particularly European) scientific domain. Scientists are known for their reputation, i.e., their productivity is often recognized in magazines that publish their research papers. University North has recently established a special reward system for scientist, in order to ensure proper rewards for scientific accomplishments, i.e., for published research papers, citations of said papers, and an overall improved recognition of the institution that employs them. This system has certain rules and criteria for rewarding scientists. The rewards in and of themselves are contributing to popularization of science at the institution in question; furthermore, rewarding provides for a very good incentive for publishing many research papers with excellent indexing. Publishing research papers is also important to the institution the paper is referencing, as it adds to said institution’s visibility and recognition in the European and international domain of research and science.
Ensouled Identity
Authors: Farris Joshua
Published: October 2023

The nature of personal identity is ultimately theological in nature. Through a survey of some of the recent philosophical evidence for the soul (in the analytic philosophical tradition), the following lays out reasons for why personal identity is accounted for by a soul because of the nature of phenomenal consciousness as essentially descriptive of persons. Yet, this conclusion is buttressed by theological reflection on personal origins and the end of life. Through a guided reflection on the origins of persons and the end of life (through the lens of dementia case studies), further suggested information about the person as a substance of consciousness reveals more than what is uncovered through philosophical or scientific analysis alone. In this way, and building on Priest’s recents work, the following is a sketch of personal identity as ensouled identity that moves beyond what Priest calls the ‘conditioned’ mode to the ‘unconditioned’ mode of theology.

Published: October 2023

Pretpostavlja se da sposobnosti emocionalne inteligencije s dobi napreduju i da je moguće poticati njihov razvoj, no vrlo je malo istraživanja koja se bave tim aspektom emocionalne inteligencije. Istraživanja razvoja u kontekstu modela sposobnosti emocionalne inteligencije kod djece, prema našim saznanjima, nema, a istraživanja na adolescentima upućuju na napredak u emocionalnoj inteligenciji, ali i na potrebu dodatnih istraživanja koja bi razjasnila tijek i korelate razvoja. Na uzorcima odraslih dobivene su značajne, ali u određenoj mjeri kontradiktorne razlike među kohortama koje sugeriraju da iskustvo doprinosi napretku u sposobnostima, ali i da starije kohorte imaju niže rezultate. Razvoj emocionalnih sposobnosti istraživan je i izvan konteksta emocionalne inteligencije, te se u ovom radu daje pregled tih istraživanja. Potrebna su dodatna istraživanja koja bi omogućila stvaranje cjelovite slike razvoja sposobnosti emocionalne inteligencije, što bi imalo mnoge korisne praktične implikacije.
Study of adherence to treatment of patients with diabetes in Ukraine.
Authors: Власенко І. О.
Published: October 2023

The patient's medication adherence significantly affects the achievement of therapy goals.

Adherence to DM therapies ranges from 36% to 93%. Improving adherence is expected to reduce healthcare costs, reduce HbA1c and the risk of complications. In Ukraine, the majority of patients with diabetes (PwD) do not achieve satisfactory glycemic goals. Adherence to the treatment of PwD has not been studied in Ukraine. Survey of their adherence to therapy of PwD was conducted.

The aim of the work was to study the adherence to treatment of PwD.

The survey of PwD regarding adherence to treatment was conducted by the questionnaire method using remote forms with applying Google forms.

The conducted survey identified the numerous problems regarding the use of drugs and adherence to the treatment of PwD in Ukraine. Main reasons of low adherence to therapies of PwD are memory problems and cognitive impairment fear of hypoglycemia; problems with the use of equipment (glucometers, pens); emotional exhaustion; poor communication with the doctor; polypharmacy; unavailability of necessary treatment and control DM. At the same time, the survey revealed communication problems with doctors and pharmacists. According to PwDs view in Ukraine, the attributes they expect from a doctor and pharmacist are: more information and training; a more accessible explanation of the goals and regimen of treatment. To improve the situation, medical and pharmaceutical workers should use accessible language, without using complex terms and show interest, support, compassion, tolerance, empathy and sometimes appropriate humor. In the words three intervention strategies of pharmacists to increase adherence to treatment are identified: educational (increasing patients' knowledge about DM), behavioral (consultations, monitoring treatment goals, behavior change, monitoring adverse reactions), and educational-behavioral.

Intervention strategies by pharmacists will improve adherence to treatment, which can be implemented according to GPP, tailored to patients of this nosology. Improving adherence to diabetes treatment will improve treatment efficacy and achieve glycemic goals and prevent the development of complications.

Factors Affecting Economic Crisis in Ethiopia: A Literature Review
Authors: Regasa Atinafu , Lemmi Ettisa Demelash , Tadesse Efa
Published: October 2023

The majority aims of this study of the literature reviews are to investigate factors influencing the economic crisis in Ethiopia, which is a developing country in East Africa. Ethiopia has experienced a range of economic difficulties over the last few decades, such as huge rates of inflation, quickly increasing unemployment, dropping currency value, and restricted access to credit. This study looks at both internal and external factors—such as population growth, unstable politics throughout the religions, enough infrastructure and governance, and the amount of outstanding external debt—that affect the nation's economy.

Vary academic papers, reports, and articles from institutions, government agencies, and international organizations are examined in this study. This study offers insights and a thorough grasp of the complex factors affecting Ethiopia's economy through the incorporation of prior research on the topic.

Findings from this literature review reveal that political instability, characterized by protests, ethnic tensions, and political transitions, greatly hampers the economic development of Ethiopia. This instability reduces investor trust, interferes with corporate operations, and deters foreign direct investment. The economic crisis is made worse by ineffective governance, which is characterized by corruption, inefficient bureaucracy, and inadequate execution.

Inadequate infrastructure additionally hinders commerce, investment, and production. Examples of this include restricted access to telecommunication, transportation, and electrical networks. Although a potential resource in terms of human capital, rapid population expansion also presents difficulties, such as rising unemployment rates and dwindling funding for healthcare and education.

External causes are a major contributing element to Ethiopia's economic problems as well. The country's main exports, oilseeds, textiles, and coffee, are highly impacted by changes in global commodity prices, which also lead to trade imbalances and unstable revenue streams. Furthermore, the burden of external debt restricts government spending and limits resources for development projects.

To overcome these challenges and mitigate the economic crisis, this literature review suggests several policy recommendations. These include improving political stability through transparent governance and inclusive policies, investing in infrastructure development to enhance productivity and competitiveness, and diversifying the economy to reduce reliance on primary commodities.

Ungaretti: the Soldier and the Poet
Authors: Srebotnjak Vanda
Published: October 2023

The study focuses on a very detailed overview of the events both on the Karst section of the Isonzo Front as well as in Brienne-le Chateau, Gigny-Brandon, France, during World War I and Giuseppe Ungaretti’s participation in the various battles along with his composition of individual poems. Based on the historical documentation and concurrent reading of his letters from the front and the place and date of the creation of his poems, it can be confirmed that the poet’s voluntary participation in the war played a key role in his poetic creation but also in his national self-determination. The detailed overview of the historical facts and his composing also led to the yet undetected inconsistency between the geographical placement of some poems in the village of Lokvica na Krasu and the actual situation on the front.
The role of pH in cancer biology and its impact on cellular repair, tumor markers, tumor stages, isoenzymes, and therapeutics
Authors: Akl Maher M. , Ahmed Amr
Published: October 2023

The intriguing connection between pH and cancer is explored in this manuscript. The role of pH in cancer biology, including its impact on cellular repair, tumor markers, tumor stages, isoenzymes, and therapies, is highlighted. pH variations can affect cellular repair processes, potentially leading to cancer development. Changes in pH also disrupt various cellular functions, such as enzyme activity and DNA modifications, impacting cancer biology. The acidic tumor microenvironment resulting from pH changes promotes tumor growth and affects surrounding normal tissue. Additionally, pH variations influence specific isoenzymes activity, aiding in cancer diagnosis and targeted therapies. Targeting the pH microenvironment in cancer treatment shows promise, utilizing strategies like pH-sensitive nanoparticles and inhibitors. However, considerations must be made regarding normal cell impact and systemic pH balance. An innovative approach involving a glucose derivative, glucosodiene, inhibits tumor glucose metabolism and restores cellular pH balance. Understanding the intricate relationship between pH and cancer provides insights for diagnostics and treatments. Further research in this field can lead to innovative approaches to combat cancer and improve patient outcomes.

Mobile robotic platforms are autonomous devices consisting of mechanical, electrical and electronic components that allow them to move on land, water or in the air. These platforms can be used in a variety of industries, including medicine, industry, research and intelligence, and military applications. The article deals with a new automated system with autonomous stabilization based on a mobile platform for measuring the thermal indicators of objects. The developed 3D model of a mobile robotic platform for measuring the thermal performance of objects with an autonomous stabilization system is presented. Attention is focused on the choice of optical devices for measuring the thermal performance of objects, namely, a night vision camera and a thermal imaging camera. A description of the day-night camera operation is given, and its application areas are analyzed. The physical principle of operation of thermal imaging cameras and their applications are described. It is established that the image quality varies depending on whether the thermal imager is active or passive. The TELEDYNE FLIR TAU 2 thermal imaging camera was chosen for the new mobile platform, which uses infrared imaging technology to detect the thermal signatures of objects. Possible errors of optical devices were analyzed: calibration error, reading error, video image delay error, other instrumental errors (from the influence of temperature, lighting, orientation in space, noise, etc.). Experimental studies of the developed mobile robotic platform for measuring the thermal performance of objects with an autonomous stabilization system were carried out, having previously calibrated it, and their results are presented. It is determined to measure the surface temperature of an object using a thermal imaging camera; it is necessary to know its emission, which is determined by the properties of the material from which the object is made. This can be done using a calibrated infrared source, making it possible to measure the temperature of objects in the image accurately.

The article deals with the issues of planning and obtaining shaping trajectories of the mechanisms of a parallel structure of the biglide type. The possibilities of forming functional trajectories of a biaxial two-coordinate biglide in the direct problem in the form of generalized coordinates of the degrees of freedom and the inverse problem in the form of gripper pole coordinates are considered. The conditions for the occurrence of ambiguity in the position of the mechanism in direct and inverse problems are revealed. To avoid ambiguity, it is proposed to control the process of forming a trajectory using an additional parameter. In the process of computer 3-D modeling, singular configurations of the biaxial bigglide mechanism with parallel guides were studied. Analytical models for the formation of trajectories are developed and kinematic conditions are proposed for avoiding locking processes in the mechanism in singular configurations. Singular configurations with quasi-zero and negative stiffness have been found for the mechanism of a parallel structure of the biglide type. Using the Lagrange principle of virtual (possible) displacements, analytical models of the generalized stiffness coefficients of the mechanism are obtained depending on the formed configuration. Configurations with quasi-zero stiffness correspond to zero values of the stiffness coefficients, and for negative stiffness, a characteristic transition through a singular configuration. Analytical expressions for the relative rigidities of the biglide mechanism are obtained and diagrams of their change for different configurations are constructed. The influence of the design parameters of the biglide on the value of the relative generalized stiffness of the entire mechanism has been studied. It has been established that within the range of configuration angle change from 0 to 12° and from 45° to 80°, the values of relative stiffness coefficients are much higher than within the range from 15° to 45°, which allows controlling the rigidity of the mechanism and having a positive effect on the positioning accuracy of the pole. biglide.

Predicción de la satisfacción sexual en mujeres y hombres casados
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Moral de la Rubia José
Published: October 2023

Este estudio tiene como objetivos determinar la relación y el potencial predictivo de variables demográficas, religiosas (convicción religiosa y asistencia a servicios religiosos), ajuste diádico, satisfacción marital, alexitimia, depresión, ansiedad, afectos positivos y negativos, deseabilidad social y engrandecimiento marital, sobre la satisfacción sexual. Se empleó una muestra incidental de cien parejas de casados. Se realizaron los análisis considerando datos emparejados, así como cada muestra por género. Como técnicas estadísticas se emplearon las siguientes: correlación, regresión lineal múltiple (método Stepwise) y análisis factorial por componentes principales, para generar variables ortogonales y calcular modelos de predicción por el método Enter. La satisfacción sexual autorreportada resultó independiente de la frecuencia de relaciones sexuales en las mujeres, pero no en los hombres, lo que puede reflejar una naturaleza reforzadora diferencial. Mujeres y hombres se asemejaban en la necesidad de enamoramiento y satisfacción marital para la satisfacción sexual. Las diferencias estribaban en las emociones y la religión. Las emociones negativas, sobre todo ansiedad impiden la satisfacción sexual femenina. Las emociones positivas, junto con una tendencia a enaltecer la satisfacción marital favorecen la satisfacción sexual masculina. La religiosidad es un inhibidor de la satisfacción sexual masculina. De aquí se pueden derivar aspectos importantes para complementar la terapia sexual.

El estudio de las premisas histórico-socioculturales de la familia mexicana se remonta a los años cincuenta del siglo XX y se extiende durante 5 décadas (Díaz-Guerrero, 1963, 1972, 1981, 1994, 2003). Los estudios psicométricos y descriptivos con adolescentes de 12 a 15 años de edad, estudiantes de secundaria de escuelas públicas y laicas, se centran en las premisas como unidades distribuidas en una serie de factores conceptualmente claros y robustos. En el presente trabajo se detallan los hallazgos derivados de una aplicación a una muestra de 266 hombres y 320 mujeres de las mismas características, en 2008, a cuyas repuestas se hacen análisis psicométricos dividiendo las premisas en aquellas referentes a normas conductuales y aquellas que indican creencias. Los análisis muestran dimensiones similares a las reportadas en las investigaciones anteriores, destacándose mayor claridad conceptual y solidez estadística, así como interrelaciones más significativas y teóricamente congruentes entre las dimensiones. Finalmente, el análisis de varianza por sexo y grado escolar muestra una transformación mayor en el caso de las mujeres en cuanto a la postura tradicional de la cultura.
Dinámica de las Premisas Histórico-Socio-Culturales: Trayecto, vigencia y prospectiva
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Díaz Loving Rolando
Published: October 2023

La aproximación etnopsicológica al estudio del comportamiento humano establece un importante corrector para la generalización de supuestos no probados, aplicados indiscriminadamente desde una perspectiva universalista. De hecho, se puede postular que toda investigación psicológica debe considerar una línea base cultural derivada de ecosistemas particulares y participantes específicos, que permita reconocer tanto la aportación biológica universal como la idiosincrática socio-cultural sobre el fenómeno estudiado y sobre su manifestación. El foco de atención del presente artículo es el efecto de la cultura sobre el comportamiento, mediante un análisis profundo de las premisas socioculturales (Díaz- Guerrero, 1967; 1977; 2003), con interés en la disección de las normas y creencias que las constituyen, y la relevancia que estas tienen para describir la cosmovisión de diferentes regiones culturales, distintos periodos históricos y su impacto sobre la predicción del comportamiento.
Ciencia y conocimiento objetivo de la realidad. Metateoría y psicología funcional
Authors:   Universitat de Barcelona, Arnau Gras Jaime
Published: October 2023

La psicología, como cualquier otra ciencia, se construye mediante la aplicación de un método cuyo resultado es la consecución de teorías explicativas, de mayor o menor alcance. Por otra parte, el teórico de la ciencia, ubicado más allá de la inmediatez de los fenómenos estudiados por los científicos, considera a la ciencia como un discurso o texto sometido a unas reglas rigurosas que la configuran. Estas reglas son definidas por los teóricos de la ciencia como paradigmas. En este escrito se sostiene que la psicología, como toda ciencia positiva, tiene también unos paradigmas metateóricos que la condicionan y que suelen cambiar con su devenir histórico. Por último, se concluye que el paradigma imperante en los años 30 y 40 del siglo pasado, dentro del ámbito de la psicología del desarrollo, es definible por funcionalismo genético.
Contradicciones e inconsistencias en los padres fundadores de la psicología

Como comentario al artículo de Pardos sobre Kuhn, Wallon y las anomalías de la psicología funcional, pasamos revista a algunas inconsistencias que hemos encontrado en los escritos de Wilhelm Wundt y William James; prestamos especial atención a las relacionadas con el problema mente-cuerpo, así como también a la definición y los métodos, para concluir que la psicología fue una ciencia problemática desde sus mismos comienzos.

México presenta los niveles más altos de violencia escolar en educación secundaria, en comparación con el resto de los países de la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico (OCDE). El desarrollo de programas de prevención de la violencia escolar basados en la evidencia científica y la adopción por el sistema escolar de los mismos son urgentes. Para este fin, es necesario contar con instrumentos de evaluación confiables y válidos que permitan diagnosticar el problema. El objetivo de este estudio es adaptar el Cuestionario de Violencia Escolar en una población de 333 estudiantes de secundaria de Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas. Los resultados muestran que la estructura factorial del cuestionario en esta población es válida y confiable, pudiéndose mantener las cinco dimensiones propuestas por los autores originales de este instrumento.
Impacto de las prácticas de crianza sobre el desarrollo de las funciones ejecutivas durante la infancia. Una revisión de la literatura
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Stelzer Florencia , Cervigni Mauricio ,   Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Martino Pablo ,   Universidad Nacional de Rosario

El término prácticas de crianza (PC) hace referencia a una serie de comportamientos y manifestaciones afectivas de los progenitores y/o responsables del menor, que se caracterizan por estar orientados principalmente a la socialización y al cuidado del infante. Diversas investigaciones han hallado un vínculo entre las PC y el desarrollo de ciertas habilidades cognitivas y emocionales del niño. Entre ellas destacan las funciones ejecutivas (FE), que conforman un conjunto de procesos cognitivos de orden superior, cuyo desarrollo está fuertemente asociado a la plasticidad cerebral dependiente de la experiencia. El presente artículo constituye una revisión del vínculo hallado entre las PC y el desarrollo de las FE durante la infancia. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los diferentes diseños utilizados para el estudio de la relación entre ambos constructos, confrontando los resultados de las distintas investigaciones. Se concluye señalando que la diversidad metodológica y operativa de los estudios analizados no permite efectuar una afirmación definitiva respecto del vínculo entre las PC y el desarrollo de FE. Por tal motivo, se plasmarán algunas consideraciones metodológicas que podrían clarificar el vínculo entre ambos constructos.

El propósito del estudio fue determinar la prevalencia en el consumo de drogas y alcohol en dos facultades de una universidad particular de la Ciudad de México y comparar los datos obtenidos con los ya reportados en los años 2000 y 2002. Con este fin se aplicó el cuestionario SAEU a 397 estudiantes de las licenciaturas en Psicología (n = 202) y Ciencias de la comunicación (n = 195), utilizando los mismos procedimientos empleados en los estudios anteriores. Los resultados mostraron aumento en el consumo de 6 de las drogas monitoreadas; complementariamente, se observó un incremento considerable en el consumo de alcohol y de intoxicación alcohólica en los estudiantes. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de identificar las características de los bebedores problemas y de diseñar un plan preventivo acorde con las características de dichos estudiantes.
