Formation and development of the Muslim confession in the Crimea at the turn of the 1980s – 1990s
Authors: Beloglazov BRoman , Osipovsky Semyon
Published: September 2023

The article considers the process of the revival of Islam in the Crimea in the late 1980s - early 1990s with the gradual return and further mass repatriation to the historical homeland of the Crimean Tatars. At the initial stage (1985-1987), local authorities, guided by the current anti-religious and anti-Islamicguidelines of the center, tried to prevent a religious upsurge in the Crimean Tatar environment, using measures of administrative and ideological influence and control. At the second stage (1988 - early 1990s) of the implementation of the policy of restructuring and democratization of public life, the Crimean authorities were forced to show loyalty to Muslims, the process of restoring traditional Islamic institutions and integrating Islam into the regional confessional space began.
Heart valve tissue engineering: technological success of biomaterials and biofabrication strategies
Authors: Mirani Bahram , Latifi Neda , Lecce Monica , Zhang Xiaoqing , Simmons Craig
Published: September 2023

Heart valve replacement is often the only treatment option for severe valvular heart disease. Current valve replacements, primarily mechanical and bioprosthetic valves, suffer from thrombogenicity or poor durability and do not provide growth, regeneration, and repair, features essential, especially, for pediatric and young patients. As an alternative to the currently clinically available valve substitutes, tissue-engineered heart valves hold the promise of realizing these features using bioresorbable materials that can host endogenous cells and are replaced by cell-secreted matrices in vivo over time, yielding a living valve in the patient’s heart. During nearly three decades, a variety of biomaterials and biofabrication techniques have been utilized to develop tissue-engineered heart valves. However, the quest for an ideal combination of biomaterial and biofabrication strategy to achieve longevity in these heart valve substitutes continues. Attempting to overcome various obstacles to this goal, the approach to heart valve tissue engineering has continuously evolved. Most notable examples are the application of biomechanical conditioning via dynamic cultures instead of growing valves in static condition to generate robust tissues that are capable of enduring hemodynamic loads upon implantation and more recently, implantation of acellular instead of cell-laden valves to avoid adverse in-vivo tissue remodelling. Additionally, more complex biomaterials and biofabrication technologies are currently being employed in efforts to recapitulate some of the crucial characteristics of the native valve tissue such as its microarchitecture and mechanical properties. With an emphasis on biomaterials and biofabrication technologies, this review first outlines various biomaterials used in heart valve tissue engineering and the role that material properties, such as degradation and mechanical behaviours, play in the success of the final valve product. Next, the strategies used in various steps in the development of tissue-engineered heart valves including scaffolding, origami-folding, biomechanical conditioning, and decellularization are explored. Lastly, the state of the art in the progress of tissue-engineered heart valves toward clinical translation is highlighted.

Murburn model of vision supports multi-layered photoreception and signal relay networks in human eye
Authors: Manoj Kelath Murali , Jacob Vivian David
Published: September 2023

From Maheswaranathan et al.’s work published in your journal Neuron (July 2023), we note the report of computational modelling of image/signal processing within the retina, advocating a three-layered network that included interneurons and ganglion cells. As seen from globally recognized personas, popular textbooks, timely reviews, and state of the science research communications on molecular/macroscopic visual cycle, the new pitch extends beyond the conventional view of photo-transduction (photoreception), which is conventionally depicted to occur at the rod cell outer segments (RCOS), within the rod/cone cell layer in the distal part of retina, adjacent to the retinal pigment epithelium (or RPE). Over the last two and a half decades, we have pioneered a novel paradigm called murburn concept, which posits that diffusible reactive (oxygen) species (DRS/DROS) are obligatorily involved in affecting/effecting routine molecular/macroscopic cascades in cellular physiology. Within the ambit of this pursuit, we had originally disseminated a cover-page credited piece in Biomedical Reviews (30th annual volume of the Bulgarian Society of Cell Biology published in 2020) quoting architectural, photo-biochemical and evolutionary rationales for the murburn model of vision. The current work by Maheswaranathan et al. gains physiological validation by our pre-dated ‘murburn’ pursuits.

Habits Are Not Goal Dependent: Commentary on Buabang et al. (2023)
Authors: Wood Wendy , Mazar Asaf
Published: September 2023

People sometimes commit action slips by absentmindedly repeating unwanted responses, such as entering an old password instead of the current one. In most accounts, such slips demonstrate stimulus-response habits in which familiar contexts directly trigger well-practiced but now incorrect responses. In contrast, Buabang et al. (2023) claim that action slips arise due to the continued influence of old, no longer accurate goal outcomes. Yet our reanalysis shows that Buabang et al.’s participants actually provide striking evidence of goal-independent S-R habits; they correctly repeated well-practiced responses despite reporting incorrect goals. We also show that Buabang et al. misinterpreted the results of their mediation analyses by overlooking the direct influence of stimuli on responses. Understanding how habits work is important because habit change interventions are unlikely to succeed with goal-directed strategies that overlook context cues’ direct cuing of practiced responses.

Authors: Mandal Gopal
Published: September 2023

Raja Ram Mohan Roy, known as the “Father of Modern India’s Renaissance,” worked tirelessly for social change. He is credited with bringing about a new era of enlightenment and liberal development in India. Because of the significant contributions he made to India’s development in the 18th and 19th centuries, he is usually referred to as the “father of modern Indian renaissance”. These advancements enhance Indian culture in every way. However, few people in Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s era were fully aware of the new age’s importance. The goal of human civilization should be interdependence between people and nations rather than independence in isolation, and this should apply to both individuals and nations. His goal was to fully reawaken the Indians to their individual cultural identities and to help them better understand the realities that were unique to their respective civilizations in the spirit of sympathetic cooperation. In this article, we discuss and explore Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s remarkable life and the contributions he made to society.
Revisiting Aristotle’s Politics: Insights on Governance, Citizenship, and Democracy
Authors: Kumar Sudhamayee
Published: September 2023

Over time, there has been a growing ignorance of or disrespect for the fundamental nature, purpose, and conclusion of politics, particularly in third-world nations. Plato is more awed by the unity that penetrates objects, whereas Aristotle is more awed by diversity. As a result, Aristotle distinguished each science as having its own field by conducting extensive observation and minute analysis of objective facts, whereas Plato distinguished each science as having its own field by working deductively from his philosophical conceptions of virtue and the good. This has resulted in unpleasant conditions, such as bad governance and bad leadership, which have become the plague of politics in some regions. There is no denying the fact that a lack of clarity in understanding what politics is one of the signs that effective, ideal, or honest practice or reality of politics does not exist. Political philosopher and scientist Aristotle was the first to define politics and its topic, character, objective, or goal. He gave a definition of politics by identifying its core tenets, including art, science, ethics, the rule of law, education, etc. According to this perspective, there is an underlying relationship between politics, ethics, economics, and the state. In this paper, we want to define this relationship in great depth.

The Thermometer Sheath An Illusion of Asepsis
Authors: Beck William C.
Published: September 2023

It seems very possible that a thermometer moved from one person’s mouth to another might be a vector for the transmission of harmful microorganisms. This is particularly true in the hospital where many patients are infested with harmful or potentially harmful microbes, and also many patients are at greater risk because their disease or indeed their therapy renders them vulnerable. Although nosocomial infection has been under careful scrutiny in the last few years, the ubiquitous thermometer has largely escaped study.
Fear - a Harmful Emotion. How May We Eliminate It From the Surgical Patient’s Mind?
Authors: Guthrie Donald
Published: September 2023

EDITOR’S NOTE: The late Dr. George Crile was not only a very dear friend of Dr. Guthrie, but also convinced him that fear had a noxious influence upon surgical convalescence. The term anoci-association lacked the euphony of the word “stress”, so that it never had the impact of the latter. Not having the steroids for therapy the surgeons of 1922 had to avoid the stress phenomenon rather than treat it. In present times when the events of our daily lives bombard our adrenals with stressful situations we physicians and surgeons are apt to forget the simpler methods of prophylaxis. Re-emphasis is hereby given by reprinting a paper of Dr. Guthrie which stands the test of 56 years. It presaged by many years the post-anesthetic room, the critical unit, and progressive medical care, which have come into widespread use. In view of the Reverend Sweetser’s article, it was felt that this might be a companion piece.
“Stars in the Water”: Hermann Broch’s Die Unbekannte Größe and the Language of Interwar Experience
Authors: Lambert Richard “Tres”
Published: September 2023

This article investigates the role of the “Sterne im Wasser” as the central leitmotif in Hermann Broch’s Die Unbekannte Größe (1933). As a plot device, the “Sterne im Wasser” motif fuels Broch’s construction and parody of the main character Richard Hieck’s mathematical world view. Richard’s failures to assign meaning to the “Sterne im Wasser” by means of mathematical reasoning mirror Broch’s critique of the narrowly discursive attempts at meaning-making, and especially logical positivism, that characterize the Viennese interwar period and the late modernist obsession with linguistic precision. Beyond the parodic dimension of Broch’s novel, however, the “Sterne im Wasser” motif also models the production of meaning via metaphor and self-consciously performs literature’s ability to create meaning where other discursive languages fail. What Broch regards as his least successful novel in fact delivers a powerful defence for the necessity of literature in the age of scientific precision.
Arterial oscillography as an indicator of adaptation of the cardiovascular system during active orthostatic test
Authors: Vakulenko Dmytro , Vakulenko Lyudmila , Barladyn Olga , Khrabra Svitlana , Dembrynskyi Ivan
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of an effective means of early diagnosis of premorbid conditions, control of the effectiveness of treatment results, physical exercises and sports, namely the orthostatic test, as well as registration methods that make it possible to assess the state of the cardiovascular system and the functional reserves of blood circulation regulation mechanisms. The orthostatic test is the simplest and most accessible method, which makes it possible to assess the state of the cardiovascular system and the functional reserves of blood circulation regulation mechanisms. 21 people aged 18-22 years without health complaints were examined. Arterial oscillograms were recorded during blood pressure measurement with an electronic tonometer in the supine position and after standing up. For the morphological analysis of the arterial oscillogram, the Oranta-AO Software Complex (PC) developed by the authors was used. The type of arterial oscillogram, the level of health, and the adaptation capabilities of the subjects were evaluated. Orthoprobe is accompanied by an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, which indicates its stimulating effect on the state of the sympathetic link of the autonomic nervous system. According to the results of the arterial oscillogram in the supine position, only 33% of the examined were excellent and good. After standing up, the quality of the arterial oscillogram improved in 47% of the examinees, which indicates the functional nature of disorders caused by the lability of the autonomic nervous system and the positive effect of the orthoprobe on the pulsatility of blood vessels.

Deterioration refers to a decrease in the functional capacity of the cardiovascular system and its regulatory mechanisms. The use of PC Oranta-AO enables the doctor (as well as the patient) in offline or online mode, immediately after measuring blood pressure, to obtain conclusions about the state of the cardiovascular system and its regulatory mechanisms.
Study of the effectiveness of the technique of developing the strength abilities of gymnasts aged 7-8 years
Authors: Deineko Alfiіa , Krasova Inna , Semyzorova Alla
Published: September 2023

In recent years, significant progress has been made in deepening the essence of gymnasts' physical training, in particular the development of strength as the basis of their technical excellence, as well as the impact on the body of individual components of training loads. It has been established that the means of strength training for 7-8 year old gymnasts are diverse, but their scope of application is quite limited. Therefore, purposeful cooperation of scientists and practitioners is necessary to generalize and create a methodological array of knowledge regarding the specifics of the practical use of strength exercises in the educational and training process of young gymnasts. The developed author's method of developing the strength abilities of 7-8 year old gymnasts consisted of six interconnected structural components: 1st "Basic" - general developmental exercises for developing the strength of muscle groups: arms and shoulder girdle, abdominal press, back, legs , as well as complex exercises; 2nd "Imitation exercises and tasks for adopting and maintaining a posture" - static exercises that are of great importance for the formation of the correct posture of athletes 7-8 years old: "Swallow", "Plank", "Shuttle", "Corner", letters of the alphabet "G" and "D"; 3rd "Circular training" - exercises for working out all muscle groups that make up the "circle" with a clear normalization of the load and at the same time individualization of tasks at each "station"; 4th "Recovery" - breathing exercises and exercises for acquiring skills and abilities to relax and stretch muscles after performing strength exercises; 5th "Homework" - exercises for independent performance at home, selected individually for each gymnast; 6th "Game exercises and tasks" - exercises that created a positive competitive atmosphere and increased the emotional background during training sessions.

The implementation of the author's method of developing strength abilities into the educational and training process of 7-8 year old gymnasts confirmed its high efficiency, as evidenced by a significant increase in the results of the athletes of the main group. Moreover, the difference between the average group results, gymnasts of the control group and the main group in the test tasks is statistically reliable.

The article examines issues related to the construction of a training process in freestyle wrestling, paying attention to psychological preparation during competitions. Organization and formation of loads, use of technical elements and exercises to improve sports form according to sports qualification and training period.

In sports wrestling (freestyle wrestling), the conditions of competitions differ from the conditions of training classes. Coaches and psychologists must train athletes not only physically and tactically, but also develop in them the ability to resist many pre-competition and competitive factors that have a disorganizing effect and cause inconsistency of functions, that is, reduce reliability in competitive activities.

Before the responsible start, an attitude related to the expectation of the most likely result of the competition is formed. Often, the setting of tasks is formed on an unconscious level. However, the more complex the future activity is in terms of its structure, the more conscious, volitional components prevail in the formed attitude.

Overcoming the maximum muscle effort, fatigue in the process of fighting, the wrestler shows volitional efforts, taking into account which willpower qualities develop depending on the difficulty. This is especially significant for juniors, who still have fully developed moral and psychological qualities, which have self-regulation techniques, so necessary in the struggle.

Tension in sports activities can be not only emotional, but also operational. Operational tension arises as a result of the complexity of the work performed, emotional tension - as a result of the action of negative emotional irritants.

It has been established that only under the conditions of training load, adequate psychotype of the athlete, the reactivity of the central nervous system increases and the mechanisms of ensuring effective sports activity in extreme conditions, which, in fact, are accompanied by any competitions, are improved.

The article examines the peculiarities of neurodynamic characteristics and determines their influence on the formation of the skill level of qualified basketball players. Methods of assessment of simple visual-motor reaction, balance of nervous processes and functional mobility of nervous processes were applied using hardware and software computer complex "Multipsychometer-05". It is shown that skilled basketball players demonstrate a low level of speed of a simple sensorimotor reaction. The obtained data confirmed the opinion of other researchers that simple reactions are not significant for successful performance in game sports. Complex reactions are more important and significant, affecting the result, because almost all activities in basketball and other game sports are built on complex reactions. It was established that for qualified basketball players, a characteristic feature is a balance between the processes of inhibition and excitation, which is confirmed by the values of the level of manifestation of the excitation process according to the "Reaction to a moving object" test. In the test of functional mobility of nervous processes, qualified basketball players have an average level of speed of mastering the skill of performing a new task, a lower than average level of bandwidth, an average level of the minimum inter-signal interval, which reflects the maximum speed of information processing, the parameters of reflectivity and impulsivity are balanced, but there is a tendency to the shift of indicators in the direction of reflectivity. According to the research results, it can be concluded that this level of neurodynamic characteristics is sufficient to ensure game activity in basketball.

This article presents an analysis of the preparation of qualified bodybuilders during the competitive period. The study focuses on the impact of training and nutrition on the development of muscle mass and achieving an optimal physique for bodybuilding competitions.

During the competitive mesocycle, bodybuilders utilized a structured training regimen that consisted of four microcycles: the adaptation microcycle, impact microcycle, recovery microcycle, and competitive microcycle. Each microcycle targeted specific muscle groups and employed varying intensities and volumes of training to stimulate muscle growth and preserve mass.

The research involved 15 qualified bodybuilders affiliated with the regional bodybuilding federations of Kharkiv and Poltava. The study duration spanned 28 days, and the participants' muscle group circumferences were measured at the beginning and end of the research period. Significant statistical differences were observed in the circumference measurements of the shoulder, waist, and thigh (p<0.05). Shoulder circumference increased from 44.1±0.8 cm to 46.2±0.5 cm, waist circumference decreased from 84.2±2.3 cm to 77.3±1.8 cm, and thigh circumference increased from 62.3±0.9 cm to 64.8±0.6 cm.

The results revealed a positive progression in muscle groups, indicating the effectiveness of the competitive mesocycle in bodybuilding competitions. The proposed structured training regimen and microcycle content can be recommended for practical implementation in the training process of qualified bodybuilders. This may further enhance their ability to achieve optimal physique and excel in competitions.

Future research prospects involve the development of a structured training regimen and content for the transitional period of bodybuilding preparation. This can lead to even more effective preparation and performance improvements during competitive events.

In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of a well-designed training regimen and proper nutrition for qualified bodybuilders during the competitive period. The findings provide valuable insights for athletes, coaches, and sports scientists to optimize training strategies and foster success in bodybuilding competitions.

The article highlights the problematic issue that the number of operational level officers with limited functional capabilities increases every year in higher military educational institutions of Ukraine. Much better conditions are being done that are necessary for the functioning of students with special needs in Ukrainian higher education institutions, but today there are still a number of problems that complicate the process of integration and adaptation of students with special needs. This category of officers who received injuries or contusions during combat missions and lost all functional abilities for a long period of time, or because of sustained injuries or illnesses received during the performance of official duties, due to their health status, cannot attend regular physical training classes and common physical fitness tests. It is evident that after the end of the war, there will be significantly more people with disabilities in Ukraine. Therefore, it is necessary to think about creating state programs in order to involve this category in all spheres of human life in Ukrainian society, about creating conditions for the appropriate accessibility of health care facilities for them, sanatorium treatment, employment, cultural institutions, about the availability of legal support and information, etc. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyse alternative exercises and tests for assessing of physical fitness level of operational level officers with limited functional capabilities according to physical condition indicators. Conclusions. The focus of officers’ physical training is to recover as quickly as possible from an injury or trauma, or to be physically fit while maintaining as much as possible functionality of the injured or wounded body part.
