Introduction. It is relevant to generalize the experience in carrying out medical and evacuation measures in the combat zone for those affected by combat toxic substances during the implementation of medical support measures for the defensive operation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Purpose of the work: based on studying the features of the use of chemical munitions during the armed Russian aggression on the territory of Ukraine, identify problematic issues of anti-chemical protection of military personnel and scientifically substantiate ways to solve them.
Materials and methods. Using the methods of comparative analysis, a systematic approach and generalization, the features of the use of chemical munitions, the medical consequences of the defeat of military personnel and the implemented anti-chemical protection measures were studied. The study materials were: guiding documents on the organization of medical protection in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, NATO countries, materials of specialists of the working group on generalizing experience in carrying out medical and evacuation measures in the combat zone for those affected by combat toxic substances (CTS) for the period from December 2022 to March 2024 inclusive.
Results. An analysis of the features of the use of chemical munitions during the full-scale Russian invasion of the territory of Ukraine, the medical consequences of the defeat of military personnel was conducted. The practical experience of organizing medical and evacuation measures in the combat zone for those affected by combat toxic substances was generalized and the effectiveness of anti-chemical protection measures was assessed. The problematic issues of chemical protection when the Russian aggressor used CTS during hostilities were identified and operational and long-term ways of solving them were proposed.
Conclusions. Summarizing the problematic issues of protecting military personnel in the conditions of the use of chemical munitions during the armed Russian aggression on the territory of Ukraine, the authors came to the conclusion that they are due to the inconsistency of the regulatory and legal regulation of measures for the medical protection of military personnel with new tactics, forms and methods of using chemical munitions, the unsatisfactory provision of means of anti-chemical protection and means of medical protection in conditions of chemical contamination, and insufficient knowledge and skills of personnel regarding actions in conditions of chemical contamination.

Introduction. Chromatographic methods are often used in the study of pharmacokinetic parameters. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic parameters and metabolism of sodium 2-((4-amino-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (ASP) as a potential active pharmaceutical ingredient with high rates of proven acto- and stress-protective effects, which can be recommended for use in military and civilian medicine.
The aim of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic parameters and metabolism of sodium 2-((4-amino-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (ASP) in the blood serum of rats by intragastric administration.
Materials and methods. Blood sampling of experimental animals was carried out within 24 hours with intervals of 0.25, 0.75, 2.5, 7.5, 13.5 and 24 hours. Approval of the ethics committee № 6 of 08.06.2021. The obtained plasma was used to determine the concentration of ASP (chromatographically) and identify possible metabolites (mass spectrometrically). To evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of ASP, the following data were calculated: area under the pharmacokinetic curve "concentration-time" (AUC), total clearance (cl), the constant elimination (Kel), volume (Vd), period elimination half-life (T1/2).
Results. The analysis of the main pharmacokinetic parameters of sodium 2-((4-amino-5-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (ASP) by intragastric introduction to rats was held. For oral use AUC is 3.7088 μgh/ml. The half-life (T1/2) is 6.06 hours. The following possible metabolic products were predicted for phase II biotransformation. This is a reaction of O-glucuronation of an aliphatic acid, formation of a thioester through S-methylation, and possible formation of a glycine conjugate. And also carnitine conjugation (based on a collection of enzymes). Analysis of the pseudomolecular ion peak shows the possible formation of a glycine conjugate corresponding to the structure predicted in BioTransformer. The presence of O-glucuronide as a metabolite was confirmed by PLS DA VIP score and t-test analysis.
Conclusions. As a result, the main pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, cl, Kel, Vd, T1/2) and metabolism (formation of thioether, formation of conjugate of glycine and O-glucuronide) of sodium 2-((4-amino-5-(thiophene)-2-ylmethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (ASP) in the blood serum of rats was studied.

Biodiesel is made through a transesterification reaction between vegetable oil and short chain alcohol with a NaOH catalyst and microwaves. This research uses soybean oil as raw material, aiming to determine the microwave power and optimal concentration of the NaOH catalyst. The volume ratio of methanol and soybean oil is 1:12, with the NaOH catalyst weighed according to the variables. The transesterification reaction was carried out by mixing soybean oil and methanol, then heating using a microwave for 2.5 minutes. After that, the mixture was separated using a separating funnel and left for 2 hours until two layers formed: biodiesel on top and glycerol on the bottom. Biodiesel is washed with distilled water at 40°C, then heated in an oven at 100°C for 1 hour. After cooling, the biodiesel is weighed to calculate the yield and its viscosity and density are measured. The research results show that microwave power and NaOH catalyst concentration affect the quality of the biodiesel produced. The highest yield of 99.8% was obtained at 400 watts of power and a catalyst concentration of 0.5%.

Published: January 2025

Introducción: This study focuses on the development of a self-assessment model for outdoor education trainers in Malaysia. A trainer competency assessment instrument (OCL-OMR) was previously developed; therefore, there was a need to develop a new competency assessment model. Objective: The objective of the study is to identify the relationship between key competency attributes, including hard skills, soft skills, and meta-skills, with trainers' overall performance to guide co-curricular centres in enhancing their training programs.
Methodology: Using a quantitative design method, namely a One-Shot case study, the researchers assessed 240 trainers from co-curricular outdoor education centres across Malaysia. A stratified sampling method was applied to divide the population of trainers according to the main regions of Malaysia, including the North, West, East, and South regions.
Results: Regression analysis revealed significant relationships across multiple competency sub-attributes: philosophy, history, and psychosocial aspects (R-square = .681, F (3,236) = 167.60, p = .000); hard skills such as safety, environment, and technical expertise (R-square = .865, F (6,233) = 249.77, p = .000); soft skills like teaching, facilitating, and organizing (R-square = .964, F (9,230) = 690.97, p = .001); and meta-skills encompassing leadership, communication, and decision-making (R-square = .970, F (12,227) = 14209.92, p = .001).
Discussion: These findings highlight the comprehensive integration of various competency attributes and their robust influence on trainers’ competency levels.
Conclusions: The study concludes that this new competency model provides a structured framework to enhance outdoor education trainers' capabilities, enabling co-curriculum centres in Malaysia to design more effective and holistic training programs.
Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training and unification training on Aerobic Capacity and Muscle Strength in Intermediate Distance Runners- a systematic review
Authors: Susiono Ricky , Sugiyanto FX , Lumintuarso Ria , Tomoliyus Tomoliyus
Published: January 2025

Introduction and Objectives: Aerobic capacity and muscular strength are two important physical components that influence the performance of middle-distance runners. High-intensity interval Training (HIIT) and unification training have been recognized as effective methods for improving these parameters. However, scientific evidence comprehensively examining the effects of these two methods on middle-distance runners is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of HIIT and unification training on the aerobic capacity and muscle strength of middle-distance runners.
Methodology: This study was a systematic review that followed the PRISMA guidelines. Data were obtained from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases with inclusion criteria including experimental studies published in the last 10 years. A total of 20 articles were selected and analyzed qualitatively. The main parameters evaluated were changes in aerobic capacity (VO₂max) and muscle strength (dynamic and isometric) in middle-distance runners.
Results: This review found that HIIT significantly improved aerobic capacity through cardiovascular adaptation and oxygen efficiency. Unification training, which combines aerobic and strength components, showed significant improvements in muscle strength, especially in the lower limb muscles. Several studies have shown that combining HIIT and unification training synergistically affects both parameters.
Conclusion: HIIT and unification training improves aerobic capacity and muscular strength in middle-distance runners. The combination of both methods provided more optimal results. The practical implication is that coaches and athletes can adopt an integrated training approach to optimize performance. Further research is needed to explore the most effective exercise duration and intensity.

Introduction. Football is the most popular sport in Southwest Papua Indonesia. In a football match, the game lasts 2 x 45 minutes. However, football players are often injured due to collisions and errors in landing after jumping. Some factors that increase the occurrence of injuries are poor balance, and poor running speed. FIFA created FIFA 11+ as a training program to guard against sports-related injuries to football players. However, although there has been quite a lot of research related to the FIFA 11+ training program in Southwest Papua Indonesia, there still needs to be more research on the provision of the FIFA 11+ training program.
Objective. This study aims to determine the effect of the FIFA 11+ training program on speed and body balance.
Methodology. This experimental study has a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The research was conducted at the PS UNIMUDA Sorong Southwest Papua, Indonesia. The population sample consists of 42 boys between the ages of 18 and 23. FIFA 11+ practice is provided over 4 weeks (2 sessions in 1 week). The data obtained was then tested for Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression correlation tests using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) application version 26.
Results. The results showed that after the FIFA 11+ training program, there was a significant increase in speed and body balance. This was proven in the effect test, with SPSS showing results of p<0.05.
Conclusions. Based on the results and discussion above, the FIFA 11+ program significantly increases running speed and body balance.

“DIALOGUE” WITH BIRDS AND OTHER NON-HUMANS:AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC ESSAY
Authors: PENNER R.V.
Published: January 2025

Birds are not a frequent guest on the pages of philosophical essays. At the same time, on a symbolic level, birds entered the human worldview system as a sign of wisdom (owl), goodness (dove) or love (swans). The article presents an attempt to rethink the figure of a bird. Together with aliens and digital actants, the bird is recorded as a participant in a “dialogue” with humans. Such a system implements the rejection of anthropocentric logic, which elevates a human being above all other elements of living and nonliving things. It has been replaced by an anthropo-morphistic attitude, in which a person remains the one who initiates the research intention, but does not rise above the others, in the comprehension of which, in turn, anthropomorphism is allowed. From here, birds from silent units hovering above our heads become “humble mentors” for humans.
THE CONCEPT OF EXISTENTIAL RISKS AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF THEIR ASSESSMENT IN THE LIGHT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PARADIGMS
Authors: VNUTSKIKH A.YU. , DENISKIN S.А.
Published: January 2025

The article deals with link of existential risks conception with civilization and formation conceptions of social philosophy. The authors research prerequisites and elements of the conception of existential risks in the light of ideas about social development in the works of I. Kant, K. Marx, V. Vernadsky, R. Guenon, N. Bostrom and other scientists and philosophers. On the one hand, the formation paradigm’s idea of a unified and progressive development of society is especially important for the concept of existential risks. On the other hand, the civilization paradigm’s idea of multiple civilizations, each of which faces a unique set of factors and risks is important for the concept of existential risks too. A scientific understanding of existential risks requires a synthesis of the ideas of these two paradigms, taking into account Vernadsky’s argument and idea of “selection of civilizations”. The authors suggest that we need an objective integrative assessment of existential risks associated with natural factors and emerging technologies. However, well-known project “Doomsday Clock” can’t be considered an adequate way of this assessment.
REASON AND CIVILIZATION
Authors: SMIRNOV A.V.
Published: January 2025

There are three types of inaccurate approach in civilization studies. Firstly, interpretation of civilization as an “imaginary community” resulting in denial of validity for “civilization” concept. Secondly, classifying civilizations on the basis of a peculiar randomly specified feature, most often religious (“civilizational approach” elaborated by historians and sociologists). Thirdly, explaining civilization as one and universal for humankind developing along a single line of progress. N. Ya. Danilevsky developed a theory of vsechelovecheskoye (embracing and gathering humanity but not “unifying” it by certain common criteria) way of civilizational progress for humanity, arguing that it cannot be explained as obshechelovecheskoye (universal in the sense of a single basic model for any “progressive” society). According to Danilevsky, the “basics” (nachala) for civilizational development are created by every cultural-historical type independently and cannot be imported from others, unlike specific civilizational achievements which mutually enrich all of them as they borrow them from one another. Since civilizational progress of any cultural-historical type is based on a specific type of sense-positing and specific type of reason, only vsechelovecheskoye, and not obshechelovecheskoye way of human civilizational progress is possible. To clarify the distinction between vsechelovecheskoye and obshechelovecheskoye, two other sets of notions are introduced: culture, big culture, civilization; consciousness, sense-positing, reason. Culture is always concrete and empirically experienced as a super-rich alloy of linguistic, ethnic, religious, socio-psychological, historical, geographical and other characteristics. Big culture is an abstract concept denoting a community of cultures sharing the same type of sense-positing. The cultures that the big culture embraces change over time, coming into existence and vanishing, though the big culture persists. Civilization is the institutional expression of the forms of socio-political and spiritual life developed by the big culture. Typology of sense-positing and reason is proposed as a set of lines along which human consciousness is capable of developing svyaznost’ (linkage, coherence, connectivity) as its basic specific ability. Russian civilization elaborates different aspects and forms of vsechelovecheskoye society and culture developed as a common deed. Vsechelovecheskoye type of civilization creatively heals the discord between different types of sense
WHO OWNS THE US FEDERAL RESERVE?
Authors: KATASONOV V.YU.
Published: January 2025

Today, almost no serious study on global economics and politics can do without taking into account the “Federal Reserve System”. This is the Central Bank of the United States of America, called the “US Federal Reserve System”. The special significance of the American Central Bank is because it issues the US dollar, which is not only a national currency, but also a world currency. The special status of the US dollar was determined eighty years ago, when in 1944 the gold dollar standard was adopted at the international conference in Bretton Woods (USA). It became the basis of the world monetary and financial system after World War II. In the future, this system underwent serious changes, especially after the Jamaica Conference of 1976, where it was decided to cancel the gold dollar standard and replace it with a paper dollar standard. The US dollar then managed to maintain its leading positions in the world monetary and financial system. It is still successful today, despite the fact that the share of the US dollar on the world market is gradually decreasing. Many are concerned about the question: how do American currency resources survive deep world crises? Here, the US Federal Reserve System cannot do without help, but the system's activities are not transparent, because this corporation is private. However, over time, information about the activities of shareholders and the “pitfalls” of the Federal Reserve System has appeared, which is presented in this article.
CRITICISM AND CONTINUITY OF ONTOGNOSEOLOGICAL PROVISIONS OF THE KANTIAN SYSTEM IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF F. G. HEGEL
Authors: TEPLYKH M.S. , AKHMETZYANOVA M.P.
Published: January 2025

The article provides a comparative analysis of the foundations of the philosophical systems of two prominent representatives of German classical philosophy, I. Kant and F.G. Hegel in the context of their ideological continuity. The essence of the main ontological and epistemological foundations of the worldview of two thinkers is revealed, the influence of Kant’s philosophy on Hegel is shown, and the main provisions of criticism are considered Hegel’s Kantian philosophy, as set out by him in the “Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences”, from the standpoint of an interpretative reading of this criticism, during which it consistently becomes clear that the transcendental world of man is revealed in the process of his own cognition, and Kantian philosophy practically abandons attempts at cognitive comprehension of the supersensible, citing the that it cannot be a subject of theoretical thinking, but only a matter of religious faith. In the course of the theoretical analysis, the semantic differences in the category of reason underlying both worldview systems are revealed: according to Kant, pure, or theoretical, reason is universal and necessary, but still, human consciousness, the content of which is the "ideal,‘' while Hegel is the superhuman substantial essence of all things, the ideal process of thinking of thinking itself, comprehending itself.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the quality of midwifery care service provided to women by midwives at Women and New-Born Hospital (WNBH) in Lusaka District of Zambia using a modified SERVQUAL scale questionnaire. The study intended to evaluate the quality of the service from the viewpoint of service providers and recipients of the service (Women).
Methodology: The research design was a non-experimental design utilisation a quantitative cross-sectional method. Systematic sampling was used to select 385 women and 185 midwives from the various health units. Quantitative data was analysed by employing descriptive statistics using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact was conducted to test statistical significance between the independent and dependent variables.
Findings: Majority of women (321, 83.4%) mentioned that midwives provide poor quality of midwifery service while majority of midwives (183, 99.5) termed their quality service level as fair. The service quality gap between the perceived and expected quality service from the SERVQUAL questionnaire ranged from 0 to -15 for all the dimensions under study showing that standards were not reached.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Utilizing the SERVQUAL (service quality) theoretical model the research sought to identify service quality gaps which could enhance customer satisfaction if addressed. Recommendation includes a targeted effort by health facility to improve service quality through in-depth look at the tangibility, assurance, responsiveness, empathy and reliability dimensions of service quality. Quality should be a concern of every health care provider in the delivery system. Health institutions in Zambia, should make it as a mandate to understand client’s quality expectations in order to meet their quality needs leading to improved patient’s satisfaction, and ultimately increased facility utilization.
Finding Friends: The Role of Loneliness on the Formation of Online Friendships Among Adolescents
Authors: Dreslin Brandon , Hedrick Meagan
Published: January 2025

Today’s teens communicate with their friends through many online social platforms and digital mediums. It might be believed that increasing levels of social connectedness through the internet must decrease feelings of loneliness among younger generations. Paradoxically, however, loneliness may be plaguing more adolescents than ever before. This study investigates the role loneliness plays in adolescents’ abilities to form and maintain online friendships. Three hypotheses were formed to gain insight into the research question. Self-reported answers to measures of loneliness and friendships were provided by 56 American high school and college students 15-20 years of age through an online survey and a post-survey interview. A multiple regression analysis was conducted on the quantitative data and a content analysis was performed on the qualitative data obtained from data collection. Results from statistical testing and qualitative analysis indicate that (a) gender is not a significant predictor of loneliness, (b) education level is a significant predictor of loneliness, and (c) even though many participants felt less lonely while communicating with their online friends, no conclusions can be made on whether forming and maintaining online friendships circumvents loneliness. Several reasons may explain the inconclusive hypothesis. Regardless, it can be concluded that several motivations exist for why adolescents form and/or maintain an online friendship. Overall, this research presents a unique perspective on how adolescents feel and function in the digital age.

Published: January 2025

Estimating the aboveground biomass (AGB) in roadside trees is essential for quantifying carbon sequestration in urban areas. This study, therefore, aims to develop allometric parameters to estimate AGB, carbon storage, and carbon sequestration for five dominant tree species—Platanus occidentalis, Ginkgo biloba, Zelkova serrata, Quercus palustris, and Chionanthus retusus—in Daegu's Jung-Gu District, Korea. A regression analysis was conducted using two equations: the first equation, the most widely accepted formula for AGB estimation, uses the diameter at breast height (DBH) as the primary variable, and the second one uses measurements of the diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height (H), and tree density (p). The results showed  R2 values exceeding 0.94 for all species examined. According to these parameters, the five dominant roadside tree species in Jung-Gu District, consisting of a total of 5,082 trees, store 50 tons of carbon and sequester 180 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in this District.
ENHANCING CLASSROOM ENGAGEMENT THROUGH AI-POWERED EMOTIONAL, HEAD POSE, AND GAZE TRACKING: A NOVEL APPROACH TO RESPONSIVE TEACHING

Active participation of students in classroom is crucial for enhancing the
learning process. Their emotional state significantly influences not only the
content they grasp but also their level of engagement during lessons and
their overall academic performance. Emotions impact how motivated
students are to study, concentrate, and manage their learning. Monitoring
students’ emotions in the classroom and handling them properly are
important for a better learning experience. However, it can be an added
challenge for teachers who also need to focus on creating and teaching
high-quality lessons. To support responsive teaching, we have developed an
AI powered classroom monitoring tool that detects emotions and headpose, and tracks students’ eye movement so that the teachers can monitor
students' emotional states and engagement levels. In this research, we
address one of the limitations in the existing work, head-pose estimation to
improve the model accuracy. This model includes the following steps: (1)
analyzes students’ emotional states — such as confusion, happiness, and
more — during the lesson, (2) tracks their gaze direction to determine if
their focus is on the instructor, to their sides, or if their eyes are shut
completely, and (3) monitors head orientation to identify where students
spend most of their time looking. After completing the analysis over a
specified span of time, the AI powered tool generates a detailed report on
student focus and emotional status to present educators with statistics that
can be used to tailor their teaching strategies whether it's online or in a
classroom setting. As a result, teacher can improve the teaching materials
for better content delivery and support adaptive teaching methods.

TikTok advertisements are highly effective at boosting the promotion of health and beauty products but also carry negative repercussions, influencing immoral behaviour among Gen-Z. While researchers and society are increasingly concerned with moral decline, the specific connection between TikTok advertisements and unethical behaviour remains unclear. Thus, this present study examines the impact of TikTok advertisements on health and beauty products, examining how their portrayal of beauty standards and lifestyles may promote immoral behaviours among Gen-Z while raising awareness of the associated risks and ethical implications for parents, educators, marketers, and policymakers. Using the convenience sampling method, questionnaires were collected from targeted respondents as part of the study’s quantitative research approach. The data were analysed using SmartPLS version 3.0 in Structural Equation Modelling to investigate the antecedents of TikTok advertisements towards immoral behaviour on Gen-Z, concerning health and beauty products in Malaysia. The findings demonstrated a significant impact of specific elements of TikTok advertisements, particularly images and subject matter, on the moral decadence of Gen-Z, while other elements, like captions and language, did not show a statistically significant effect. The study also confirmed a strong link between social contagion theory and the effect of TikTok advertisements on Gen-Z. The importance of this research will raise Malaysian awareness to be responsible in ensuring their TikTok advertising or content adheres to ethical standards when promoting their health and beauty products.
