A Study on the Impact of Self-diagnosis of Mental Health among College Going Students in Chennai
Authors: - R SONALI DEVI , - S SUDARMATHY
Published: May 2024

Understanding the intricate and multifaceted impacts of self-diagnosis on the mental well-being of college students is essential. Self-diagnosis refers to the process wherein individuals assess and identify their own mental health issues without professional verification . Many college students resort to self-diagnosis as a method to comprehend and address their mental health challenges, facilitated by the plenty of online resources and the availability of self-help materials. While self-diagnosis may offer a sense of empowerment and self-reliance, it harbors substantial risks and repercussions for students' mental health.
Primarily, self-diagnosis increases the likelihood of misinterpreting symptoms and misidentifying conditions, potentially leading to incorrect self-management strategies. Lacking expertise in mental health, students might misinterpret ordinary stress or mood fluctuations as indications of severe disorders, causing unnecessary distress and anxiety. Furthermore, self-diagnosis continues stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental illness, as individuals often rely on incomplete information and assumptions to characterize their experiences. Consequently, students who engage in self-diagnosis may encounter barriers in seeking timely and appropriate professional assistance, delaying evaluation and treatment and aggravating their symptoms.
Moreover, the tendency for self-diagnosis fosters a culture of self-reliance and isolation among college students. Deprived of professional guidance, individuals may resort to self-medication or alternative therapies, risking adverse outcomes. Additionally, the struggle to articulate emotions and establish connections with peers undergoing similar challenges exacerbates feelings of alienation and neglect among self-diagnosed individuals.
The ramifications of self-diagnosis extend beyond individual well-being, implicating systemic shortcomings within educational institutions. Colleges and universities often lack adequate resources and support services to address students' mental health needs, fostering an environment conducive to self-diagnosis. Moreover, factors such as peer pressure, financial constraints, and academic pressures cultivate a competitive culture that reinforces students' inclination toward self-diagnosis and self-management.
To lessen the adverse effects of self-diagnosis, educational institutions must prioritize awareness, destigmatize help-seeking behaviors, and enhance access to professional mental health services. By fostering a supportive environment that encourages open dialogue and proactive intervention, colleges and universities can better meet the mental health needs of their students and reduce the pervasive impact of self-diagnosis.

Authors: - Tanima Bhatia
Published: May 2024

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in China has led to the implementation of significant regulatory efforts, including regulations on Recommendation Algorithms, Deep Synthesis, and Generative AI. These regulations aim to address issues, such as discrimination, transparency in content generation, and accuracy in AI outputs. China’s approach to AI regulations is guided by the New Generational AI Development Plan of 2017, emphasizing technology-driven innovation, socialist principles, market dominance, and open-source collaboration. The country’s strategic roadmap focuses on achieving leadership in AI development, aligning with global trends, and fostering innovation through policy reforms and ethical frameworks. In comparison, India’s fragmented frameworks illustrate a lack of an organized governance system. By adopting principles from China’s regulations, such as developing comprehensive legislations, establishing centralized authorities, and mandating transparency and user control measures, India can ensure the responsible advancement of AI technologies and address the emerging ethical, legal, and social challenges.

Exploring the Intersection of AI and Emotional Intelligence: Navigating the Promise and Peril
Authors: - Taleb Hammad
Published: May 2024

An emerging area of research explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on workers' emotional intelligence (EQ) in the workplace. EQ encompasses the ability to perceive, process, manage, and effectively utilize one's own and others' emotional states, crucial for deep interpersonal understanding. Leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution, and employee well-being are domains significantly influenced by EQ in the workplace. The utilization of AI tools such as chatbots, emotion analysis, and sentiment detection in the workplace is an evolving topic. Emotion AI is gaining traction in organizational settings and holds great potential for enhancing productivity. However, there is limited understanding of employees' perceptions and experiences regarding its implementation. To address this gap, we conducted interviews with 80 IT professionals in Pune. Our findings reveal that (1) participants perceive emotion AI as a potential intrusion into the privacy of their emotional data, (2) it may compel adherence to personal work expectations, and (3) employees may engage in personal work to safeguard their emotional privacy. These results underscore the importance of research and policy considerations concerning the preservation of personal privacy in the workplace, as well as the recognition and delineation of an individual's right to what we term emotional autonomy.

Published: May 2024

Проведено аналіз сучасних літературних джерел, що стосуються особливостей лікування за мастопатії у собак і кішок. Цей аналіз свідчить, що дисплазії молочної залози у дрібних тварин є значно поширеними. Методами вибору для їх лікування є оваріогістеректомія та гормональна терапія. Профілактика патології здійснюється шляхом оваріоектомії до першої тічки. Це оперативне втручання значно знижує ризик виникнення патології. Естрогени яєчників та прогестерон впливають на розвиток молочних залоз. Вони регулюють проліферацію та диференціювання епітеліальних клітин, сприяють процесам проліферації у молочній залозі. Для лікування новоутворень широко застосовується хірургічна резекція. Важливим є визначення типу пухлин та аналіз прогностичної інформації так як вони суттєво відрізняються за морфологічними особливостями та біологічною поведінкою. В цей час гістологічна діагностика забезпечує основу для належного лікування та подальшого спостереження. Раннє виявлення та оптимальне хірургічне втручання відіграють важливу роль. Доброякісні пухлини також потребують хірургічного видалення. Радикальна мастектомія за мастопатій є необхідною у пізніх стадіях захворювання. Консервативне лікування базується на антагоністі прогестерону аглепристоні, так як у виникненні даної патології вирішальну роль відіграє цей гормон і його синтетичні аналоги. Аглепристон є конкурентним антагоністом прогестерону, який показаний для лікування різних залежних від нього фізіологічних або патологічних станів. Аналіз літературних джерел показав, що на сьогодні під час лікування мастопатій дуже мало уваги приділяється гомеопатичним засобам, які за цієї патології успішно застосовуються у гуманній медицині. Необхідні подальші дослідження для вивчення ефективності гомеопатичних препаратів під час комплексного лікування мастопатії у собак і кішок.

Published: May 2024

Застосування антибактеріальних препаратів є важливою складовою за низки запальних процесів. Адже в більшості випадків одним з етіологічних чинників є збудник. Але збудники теж еволюціонують і пристосовуються до дії лікарських засобів. Як результат такого пристосування ми сьогодні маємо проблему світового рівня антибіотикорезистентність: явище, коли раніше ефективні засоби стають абсолютно безкорисними і арсенал боротьби зі збудником стрімко зменшується. Саме тому перед світовою спільнотою стоїть завдання з пошуку принципово нових антибактеріальних препаратів. Однією з гідних альтернатив є саме ефірні олії, і зокрема олії гірчиці та м’яти перцевої.
Misinformation perceived as a bigger informational threat than negativity: A cross-country survey on challenges of the news environment
Authors: van der Meer Toni G. L. A. , Hameleers Michael
Published: May 2024

This study integrates research on negativity bias and misinformation, as a comparison of how systematic (negativity) and incidental (misinformation) challenges to the news are perceived differently by audiences. Through a cross-country survey, we found that both challenges are perceived as highly salient and disruptive. Despite negativity bias in the news possibly being a more widespread phenomenon, respondents across the surveyed countries perceive misinformation as a relatively bigger threat, even in countries where negativity is estimated to be more prevalent. In conclusion, the optimism of recent research about people's limited misinformation exposure does not seem to be reflected in audiences’ threat perceptions.

Published: May 2024

Organophosphate pesticide poisoning has become a global concern in recent decades. This study aimed to explore the protective effects of resveratrol, a well-known bioactive natural product, on human normal skin fibroblasts after paraoxon treatment and its specific mechanisms. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay was used to study the effect of resveratrol on the viability of normal skin fibroblasts after paraoxon treatment. Delta alpha pi staining was performed to observe apoptosis in the normal skin fibroblasts. JC-1 staining and 2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein staining were used to investigate mitochondrial damage. The expressions of p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling pathway-related proteins were determined using western blotting. Resveratrol enhanced the viability of normal skin fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner after paraoxon treatment. It significantly reduced the number of cells showing nuclear concentration/fragmentation and the apoptotic level after paraoxon treatment. Moreover, resveratrol significantly lowered the 2’,7’-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence intensity in normal skin fibroblasts, decreased the JC-1 green fluorescence level, and increased the red fluorescence level in normal skin fibroblasts with increasing concentrations. Finally, resveratrol considerably reduced the expressions of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase. Resveratrol can alleviate paraoxon toxicity in normal skin fibroblasts by reducing apoptosis, mitigating mitochondrial damage, and inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Therefore, resveratrol may be a novel therapeutic option for organophosphate pesticide poisoning.

Published: May 2024

The article discusses the results of scientific research on the development and use of high-intensity educational technologies - project-based and game-based learning in the system of professional training for future reserve officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The article demonstrates the interconnection and continuity between the study of disciplines at specialized departments and the study of military training disciplines by students of the military training center at Samara State Technical University. The aim and outcome of their education, when studying military engineering and military management disciplines, is to develop a set of military engineering and military management professional competencies. The final stage of students' education is a training camp, during which they consolidate a large amount of material they have learned and prepare for the final military training assessment. However, a socio-didactic contradiction arises: on the one hand, there is a need to review a large volume of educational material, but on the other hand, there is limited time available. Therefore, the authors turned to the use of well-known intensive teaching technologies - projectbased and game-based learning - in global and domestic pedagogy. Project-based learning technology intensifies students' independent creative project activities and is multifunctional. It includes a mandatory pragmatic component, the completion of which stimulates students' interest in solving specific problems, acquiring knowledge freely, and applying it in practice. Its application is considered on the example of practical classes on automotive equipment restoration. Game-based educational technology in the format of business and role-playing games is discussed using the example of a practical class on "Military Repair Workshops".

TRANSLATION OF CULTURAL REFERENCES IN «MY LIFE AS TEENAGE ROBOT» EPISODE TITLES INTO RUSSIAN: FOREIGN LANGUAGE PRACTICAL COURSE
Authors:   Samara State Technical University, Zhuravlev A.P.
Published: May 2024

Intertextual references, or cultural references, are quite common for various kinds of imaginative works, such as novels, movies, cartoons and computer games. Being an integral feature of such works, they play an essential role in creating their unique atmosphere, to say nothing about cases when such references are a key to understanding a plot or some certain aspects of a particular work. The issue of cultural references becomes extremely essential when it comes to translation of imaginative works from one language into another. This problem is quite complicated and comprehensive. In order to solve it, a translator should be taught to consider a number of factors all at once. Apart from being able to recognize a cultural reference (which is quite often “disguised” by the author by means of a play on words, etc.), a translator should also consider whether or not his audience is familiar with the origin of this reference, as well as select proper translation techniques and transformations in each particular case. All this requires a translator to be well aware of topics considering history and culture of foreign countries, show excellent professional skills and have creative approach to the process of translation.

The object of the study is the existential love, manifested in Russian artistic culture. The subject of scientific work is the figurative realization of the existential of love in modern poetry. The material for the article was the poetry of Karina Seydametova, namely her new poetic selection from the literary and socio-political almanac “Poetry Day - 21st Century”. At the center of the hermeneutic analysis are images of winter, blizzards in the poet’s poems: winter for Russian people is associated with an ontological search for “another kingdom”, the initiation path of a cultural hero, which is aimed at searching for a bride, sacred knowledge and love. The blizzard text in Russian artistic culture is inscribed in the text of fate and is associated with the philosophy of love and death. Parallels are drawn with the winter road cycle of A.S. Pushkin, in which the problem of love is resolved. The results of the study consist in identifying the cultural and philosophical potential of modern poetry for further study of the problem of the philosophy of love and death in Russian artistic culture and its national existence. The results of the work may be of interest to literary scholars who include literature in the space of a large dialogue of cultures, and can also be used in teaching courses in cultural studies and philosophy.

The interaction of an architectural object with urban space changes over time and depends on a number of external factors. Inclusion in the aspect of studying the interaction of an object and society is currently a promising direction. As a result of this process, a number of changes occur in the space-planning structure of the object, in the functional structure of the school site. The study proposes to consider external factors influencing the nature of the interaction between the educational object and the sociocultural urban space, to identify and systematize internal factors that influence the functional structure, space-planning solutions of the building and the saturation of the functional frame of the school site. The article provides a number of advanced examples of designing school facilities in the “school-city” concept. When introducing such an approach at the design stage, the functional scenario for the development of educational, leisure, and sports activities applies not only to direct participants in the educational process, but also to residents of the surrounding buildings. This method makes it possible to strengthen the sociocultural connection between society and the city, filling the environment with cultural events, social meetings and sporting events. The school building takes on a new interpretation both in architectural practice and in the sociocultural aspect of the city’s development.
MODERN BRANDING AS A RETHINKING OF THE THEORY OF LUXURY CONSUMPTION BY V. SOMBART

Published: May 2024

The views of the classic German sociologist W. Sombart regarding the social practices of luxury consumption are of undoubted scientific interest. The article, in relation to modern realities, examines the psychological types identified by Sombart that are predisposed to promoting the bourgeois way of life. Sombart's ideas regarding the ideological component of Western European capitalist entrepreneurship, revealed as a unity in the entrepreneur of the images of a conqueror, organizer and merchant, which has a mythological nature in Anglo-Saxon culture, are also being developed by modern researchers (the American anthropologist D. Graeber, for example). Comparison of Sombart's ideas with the views of M. Weber, L.N. Gumileva reveals aspect of inequality of behavioral inclinations within a nation and the inequality of expression of such inclinations between nations, which in no way contradicts modern science and ethics, since it can relate to the parameters of the distribution of types of temperament, and could also turn a material for the development of ethological studies of behavioral stereotypes, which are not enough in modern stage of science development

This paper describes the implementation of a renewable energy system that operates independently. It comprises a photovoltaic generator (PV) that supplies power to a solar pumping system, driven by a permanent magnet direct current motor (PMDC) via a DC-DC Buck converter. Consequently, the objective is to maintain steady operation with continuous power supply despite changes in two environmental parameters, including solar irradiation and absolute temperature. The maximal power extraction of the PV panel using the usual perturbation and observation (P&O) technique achieves this objective. This method must provide appropriate duty cycle control for the DC-DC buck converter when the user-selected Fixed-Step Size (FSS) is used, unfortunately, selecting an insufficient fixed-step size led to a power ripple issue with the PV panel. Incorporating a new Variable Step-Size (VSS) into the traditional P&O algorithm shows the occurrence of the enhanced P&O-MPPT control approach. The proposed technique is validated by utilizing the PROTEUS/ISIS software. For various climatic situations, the results demonstrate that the proposed control technique is preferable to the one based on the standard P&O-MPPT.

Effect of Accounting Information System on the Quality of Financial Reporting of Listed Companies in Non-Financial Sector in Nigeria
Authors: Olamide Olayemi Oluseyanu
Published: May 2024

The ability of the Accounting Information System (AIS) to produce Quality Financial Reporting (QFR) depends on various factors such as Information Quality (IQ), System Quality (SQ), Service Quality (SERVQ), and User Competency (UC). These factors have effect on and determine the QFR produced by the AIS. Hence, this study examines the effect of AIS on the QFR of listed companies in Nigeria non-financial sector. Cross-sectional survey research design was employed for the study. Primary data were collected through questionnaire. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to examine the effects of SQ, IQ, SERVQ and UC on QFR respectively. SEM results indicated that SQ (β=0.338,p=0.000<0.01), IQ (β=0.324,p=0.000<0.01), and UC (β=0.050,p=0.000<0.01) have significant and positive effects on QFR respectively while SERVQ (β=-0.626,p=0.038>0.01) has a negative and insignificant effect on QFR. The study recommends that firms should ensure their AIS is updated for new technologies that would enhance QFR and employ competent people who are also conversant with financial reporting standards to use the AIS and prepare financial reports.

Published: May 2024

Non-alcoholic fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent lipid disorders worldwide. In the pursuit of drug discovery and development, animal modeling is crucial to elucidate the mechanisms underlying a disease. One form of animal model of NAFLD involves the induction of a high-fat diet (HFD). However, most HFDs exhibit complexity in the formulation, and commercial HFDs tend to be costly. This study aimed to formulate an HFD feed with minimal ingredients that are capable of inducing liver steatosis. This study commenced with the development of 4 dietary formulations (F1, F2, F3, and F4) comprising various food components with specific proportions and treatments. A proximate analysis was conducted for each formulation. Subsequently, the most promising formulation was administered to the rats for 14 days. On day 15, liver organs were harvested for histological analysis. The results showed that among the four formulations developed, HFD F4 exhibited the best physical appearance and nutritional proximate components, characterized by its stability in form and high fat (41.8%), high protein (21.5%), and low carbohydrate (23.2%) content. Histology examination revealed that two weeks of administration of F4 administration led to severe degeneration, inflammation, and necrosis in rat hepatocytes compared to the normal group (p < 0.001), thus confirming that HFD F4 may be developed as an inducer of steatosis in rats.

A gravidez é um período de mudanças sociais, físicas e psicológicas. Por este motivo, é importante ser devidamente acompanhada pelo Enfermeiro Especialista em Saúde Materna e Obstétrica (EEESMO), que terá a responsabilidade de orientar a mulher durante todo o processo de gravidez. Este capítulo pretende fornecer informação baseada na evidência sobre as necessidades nutricionais neste processo. O papel do EEESMO será o de promover hábitos saudáveis e prevenir possíveis complicações. Verificamos que durante a gravidez existe um aumento das necessidades nutricionais, que se traduz num aumento da ingestão calórica, por este motivo é importante controlar o peso e promover uma alimentação equilibrada, com os macronutrientes e micronutrientes adequados na altura da gravidez, dando especial atenção a possíveis défices que possam ocorrer, para poder recomendar a suplementação adequada. É também importante referir a importância de uma adequada segurança alimentar, para evitar possíveis infeções, uma vez que durante a gravidez há uma diminuição do sistema imunitário, e garantir uma adequada higiene e tratamento dos alimentos. Por fim, o desconforto durante a gravidez é comum, pelo que é importante fornecer o apoio individual adequado para aliviar os sintomas.
