The recent increase in the share of zero-leverage firms is most pronounced in the Software and Services, Hardware Equipment, and Pharmaceutical and Biotechnical industries. The reasons for these industries’ conservative debt policies are not fully disclosed. How companies in technological sectors manage to perform well attracting no debt and loosing debt tax shield benefits is a mystery. This study aims to determine why high-tech firms are less likely to have debt in the capital structure. On the basis of a sample of US-based firms from the RUSSELL 3000 index for 12 years, we show the factors leading to a zero-debt structure. After dividing the sample into high-tech and non-high-tech subsamples, we demonstrate the gap between zero-debt motives for technological and traditional sectors. We show that the common determinants of corporate structure cannot fully explain why high-tech firms choose a zero-debt policy. Testing the possible motives of debt financing avoidance, we find that high-tech firms are more financially constrained than non-high-tech firms. We further show that unconstrained high-tech firms may avoid debt to maintain their financial flexibility. On top of that, managerial entrenchment also adds to the zero-leverage choice of high-tech companies. The study results are helpful for executive management teams and investors since they shed light on the specific style of financing choice for technological firms.

risis situations, like the COVID-19 pandemic, have historically been identified as times of enhanced innovation and entrepreneurial activities. Innovation actors are required to respond quickly to a new situation bearing in mind the effects of actions across their network of partners and competitors as well as rising economic complexity. Indeed, first indications suggest that this pandemic is no different and has facilitated the use of digital technologies. In order to assess these developments, this paper studies new service offerings based on digital technologies using the example of three major Russian banks. We found that banks have now developed into technology platforms that use their experience to engage in areas like education, advanced robotics, and health care. Technologies developed by partner organizations, such as the integration of blockchain solutions, have spread rapidly. Thereby, banks have obtained a strategic advantage for launching innovations in the financial industry, including technology and knowledge transfers from other industries.
The History and Implications of the Medical Education Accreditation System in Korea: Implementation and Activities in Early Stages
Authors: Meng Kwang-ho
Published: March 2023

Following the opening of eleven medical schools in Korea in the 1980s, the issues of standardization and accreditation of medical education came to the forefront in the early 1990s. To address the medical community’s concern about the quality of medical education, the Korean Council for University Education and Ministry of Education conducted a compulsory medical school evaluation in 1996 to see whether the medical schools were meeting accreditation standards or not. The evaluation was a “relative evaluation” rather than an “absolute evaluation.” The Accreditation Board for Medical Education in Korea (ABMEK), established in 1998, was a mere voluntary organization, but with the full support of the Korean medical community, it successfully completed its first cycle of evaluations on all 41 medical schools from 2000–2004. The history of medical education evaluation activities, including those of ABMEK, was not well recorded. In 2004, ABMEK changed its name to the Korean Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation (KIMEE) as a corporate body and the government paid much attention to its voluntary accreditation activities. In 2014, the Ministry of Education officially recognized the KIMEE as an Institute for Accreditation of Higher Education Evaluation. The most important lesson learned from the history of ABMEK/KIMEE is the importance of cooperation among all medical education-related organizations, including the Korean Medical Association.
Current Trend of Accreditation within Medical Education
Authors: Ahn Ducksun
Published: March 2023

Currently, accreditation within medical education is a priority on the agenda for many countries worldwide. The World Federation for Medical Education’s (WFME) launch of its first trilogy of standards in 2003 was a seminal event in promoting accreditation within basic medical education (BME) globally. Parallel to that, WFME also actively spearheaded a project to recognize the accrediting agencies within individual countries. The introduction of competency-based medical education (CBME) with the two key concepts of “entrusted professional activity” and milestones has enabled researchers to identify the relationship between patient outcomes and medical education. Recent data driven by CBME has been used for the continuous quality improvement of trainees and training programmes as well. The goal of accreditation has shifted from the single purpose of quality assurance to balancing quality assurance and quality improvement. Even though there are a plethora of types of postgraduate medical education (PGME), it may be possible to accredit resident programmes on a global scale by adopting the concept of CBME. In addition, the alignment of the accreditation for BME and PGME, which center on competency, will be achievable. This argument may extend the possibility of measuring the outcomes of the accreditation itself against patient outcomes as well. Therefore, evidence of the advantages of costly and labor-consuming accreditation processes will be available in the near future and quality improvement will be the driving force of the accreditation process.

Published: March 2023

Concern for patient safety underlies the need for interprofessional education (IPE). One way to measure the effectiveness of IPE is by measuring attitude change toward other healthcare professionals; however, there are currently no valid Korean tools to measure such a change in attitudes. Therefore, this study aims to develop and test a Korean version of the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS). The original IPAS was translated into Korean according to the World Health Organization’s guidelines after obtaining permission from the article’s corresponding author. A total of 414 questionnaires were collected from third- and fourth-year medical and nursing students at four Korean institutions in December 2018. To analyze the validity of the Korean IPAS, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Cronbach’s α was used to evaluate reliability. Results from the exploratory factor analysis identified four functions: teamwork, community-centeredness, patient-centeredness, and respect for diversity. Significant cross-correlations were found among the four functions (r=0.438–0.631, p

Published: March 2023

In light of the need for a tool to evaluate the clinical practice education environment as perceived by medical and nursing students, this study is was conducted to develop and validate the Korean version of the Undergraduate Clinical Education Environment Measure (K-UCEEM) as a measurement tool for managing the clinical practice education climate and quality of education. For validation, the UCEEM consisting of 25 items developed by Pia Strand in 2013 was adapted according to standard translation procedures. The K-UCEEM questionnaire was administered to 73 medical students and 135 nursing students who participated in clinical practice at one medical institution. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to confirm the validity of the instrument’s structure. In order to determine referential validity, the relationships among stresses in clinical practice were examined, and differences in factor scores were compared by gender and college. It was confirmed that the scale of 24 items and five factors showed a moderate model fitness index. The reliability of the factors ranged from 0.786 to 0.867. In addition, all five factors were found to have negative correlations with the clinical practice stress sub-factor, and there were statistically significant differences by gender and college. Through this study, the validity and reliability of the K-UCEEM were verified. In the future, it is expected that further verification of the scale, as well as evaluation and improvement of the clinical practice education environment based on this scale, will occur.
Latent Profile Analysis of Medical Students’ Use of Motivational Regulation Strategies for Online Learning
Authors: Yun Heoncheol , Kim Seon , Chung Eun-Kyung
Published: March 2023

Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the new norm of online learning has been recognized as core to medical institutions for academic continuity, and students are expected to be motivated and engaged in learning while maintaining distance from other peers and educators. To facilitate students’ and educators’ newly defined roles in online medical education settings, it is crucial to understand how students are actively motivated and engaged in learning. Hence, this study explored medical students’ motivational regulation profiles and examined the effects of motivational regulation strategies (MRS) on cognitive learning and learning engagement for online learning. Data were collected after the end of the first semester in 2020 from a sample of 334 medical students enrolled at a public university school of medicine. Latent profile analysis indicated three subgroups with different motivational regulation profiles: the low-profile, medium-profile, and high-profile groups. Regarding different MRS patterns in the high-profile group, mastery self-talk, performance approach self-talk, and the self-consequating strategy appeared to be most applicable for regulating learners’ motivation. Analysis of variance showed that the profile groups with higher levels of MRS use were connected to a higher willingness to use cognitive learning strategies and a higher degree of engagement in online learning. The findings of this study emphasize the use of specific sets of MRS to support learning motivation and the need to design effective self-regulated learning environments in online medical education settings.

Authors: Jung Hanna , Lee Jea Woog , Lee Geon Ho
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore, using topic modeling, the social value of doctors and medicine demanded by society as reflected in published newspaper articles in Korea. Ultimately, this study aimed to reflect social needs in the process of developing the Patient-Centered Doctor’s Competency Framework in Korea. For this purpose, a total of 2,068 newspaper articles published from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed. Through topic modeling of these newspaper articles over the past 5 years, 18 topics were derived and divided into four categories. Focusing on the derived topics and keywords, the topics derived in specific years and the proportion of topics by year were analyzed. The results of this study make it possible to grasp the needs of society projected through the press for doctors and medicine. Due to the nature of the press, topics that frequently appeared in newspaper articles were mainly social phenomena related to requirements for doctors, particularly dealing with economic and legal aspects. In particular, it was confirmed that doctors are now required to have a wider range of competencies that go beyond their required medical knowledge and clinical skills. This study helped to establish doctor’s competencies by analyzing social needs for doctors through the latest research methods, and the findings could help to establish and improve doctor’s competencies through ongoing research in the future.
Homonegative Labyrinth of Representational Distortions: Planning Im/Possibilities for Higher Education LGBTQ+ Students in Mumbai
Authors: Arun-Pina Chan
Published: March 2023

This article accentuates higher education LGBTQ+ (HE-LGBTQ+) students’ lived experiences of off-campus housing in the Deonar Campus District of Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India. It is observed that key urban stakeholders such as brokers, landowners, neighborhood resident families, and hostel wardens informed by cis-heteronormative moralities work in tandem in shaping the student housing market. The article argues, first, that these powerful urban stakeholders collectively contribute to two mutually feeding phenomena—”studentphobia” and “cis-heteronormative familification”—which in turn effectuate a homonegative labyrinth of representational distortions of the HE-LGBTQ+ student-image. Secondly, when compounded with an increasingly unaffordable urban housing market in the finance capital of India, it results in relatively acute experiences of “spatial dysphoria” for HE-LGBTQ+ students that cannot be comprehended within the neat binary of socio-spatial un/belonging. Methodologically, this article takes a trans-disciplinary approach to analyze the spatial stories of disbelonging of 13 HE-LGBTQ+ students that follow three stages: (a) securing a home, (b) making a home, and (c) leaving home. The article concludes that what is needed to enable a sense of belonging for HE-LGBTQ+ students in India is not necessarily “LGBTQ+ inclusive” or, for that matter, “exclusively LGBTQ+” housing; rather, it is for planning practices to take on queer and trans approaches that undo cis-heteronormativity in urban housing and homes.

Published: March 2023

Background. Spermogram remains one of the main laboratory methods of male infertility diagnosis, but normal spermogram do not guarantee the patient’s fertility. More over, it does not allow us to find out the cause of infertility in 10–30 % cases. The sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) studying is a possible solution to this problem.

Aim. To systematize the currently available information about of clinical significance, causes, methods of diagnosis and treatment of SDF to be used by an urologist in rutine practice.

Materials and methods. The search of publications in databases was carried out eLIBRARY and PubMed using the keywords: male infertility, sperm DNA fragmentation, etiology, causes, varicocele, oxidative stress, diagnostics, treatment. 111 studies were selected, which are included in this review.

Results. Alcohol, tabacco smoking, narcotic substances, psychoemotional stress, adverse environmental factors and occupational intoxications, reproductive system infections and inflammation, varicocele and older paternal age can lead to SDF increasing and unfavorable reproductive outcomes, for natural pregnancy and while use an assisted reproductive technologies. The data on the role of metabolic syndrome in the genesis of SDF are equivocal. The oxidative stress is the main mechanism of sperm DNA damage. The SDF level can be estimated using direct (Comet, TUNEL) and indirect (SDS, SCSA) methods. Treatment of SDF is aimed at eliminating the detrimental factors, combating oxidative stress and recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone use.

Conclusion. The level of SDF is an important indicator for assessing male reproductive potential and predicting the success of various methods of overcoming infertility. Recently, there has been an expansion of indications for the use of methods for assessing the integrity of sperm genetic material in the clinical practice of specialists in the field of reproductive medicine.
Linguo-pragmatic potential of Persian omens and superstitions

Published: March 2023

This paper attempts to find out the linguo-pragmatic potential of Persian folk omens and superstitions according to their reasonableness / unreasonableness for the individual and the functions they perform in daily lives of Iranians. The views of national and foreign scholars on the problem of folk omens and superstitions studying and systematizing, the reasons and consequences of the functioning of these linguistic and cultural units in human communities are briefly characterized; classifications proposed by researchers are examined. Some scholars consider fear as a reason of human belief in omens and superstitions, as well as trying to explain environmental phenomena that go beyond everyday experience and do not fit the usual imagination. There is no doubt that beliefs compiling these microtexts have come from ancient times, but despite their specific, often illogical nature, they are so ingrained in the minds of people that continue to function in contemporary communities as peculiar cultural constants and prescriptions regulating everyday human behavior. Scholars point out objective and non-objective folk omens and superstitions. Objective or true omens are based on centuries-old experience and observations of generations, they have a logical explanation, and therefore it is useful to imitate them. Non-objective or false superstitions reflect unrealistic, non-existent links between phenomena, man and nature, they are false and fictitious. The paper outlines some peculiarities of reasonable and unreasonable Persian signs and superstitions functioning in comparison with the Ukrainian ones in the respective linguistic and cultural communities. These microtexts have been found to perform a number of functions in a person's daily activities, including regulatory, prognostic, axiological, moral, ethical, psychotherapeutic, and other functions. It is concluded that the study of folk omens and superstitions through the spectacle of linguo-pragmatics opens the way to a better understanding of the processes of comprehension of the surrounding reality by representatives of a certain linguistic culture, that are always characterized by vivid ethno-specificity.
Introduction to Chinese American literature: Amy Tan phenomenon
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, VECHORYNSKA T.
Published: March 2023

The paper deals with Chinese American literature that is reviewed from the perspective of new theories of post-ethnicity, transnationalism, transculturalism. It is argued that in the context of globalization the markers of ethnicity and exoticism are being replaced by a new understanding of this aesthetic phenomenon. Though widely read and discussed in the world, Amy Tan's writings that combine Chinese and American images remain rather unknown for a Ukrainian reader. This paper considers the Chinese American discourse as an integrant part of Amy Tan's bicultural novels. From a broad philological perspective, involving West / East culture, literature, philosophy, history, this paper highlights the mechanisms of literary representation and identity specificity in the interplay of constructed Chinese American images in Amy Tan's six novels: "The Joy Luck Club" (1989), "The Kitchen God's Wife" (1991), "The Hundred Secret Senses" (1995), "The Bonesetter's Daughter" (2001), "Saving Fish from Drowning" (2005), "The Valley of Amazement" (2013). The emphasis is laid on the artistic mechanism of destereotypization, and synthesis of various cultural images and identities in portraying the American Chineseness. The research is conducted with reference both to cultural, historical contextualization in the study of Chinese American images as dynamic results of cultural interaction. The paper reveals the multiple dimensions of Chinese American identity through unveiling such categories as "Chineseness", "American Chineseness", "Americanness", involving cross-cultural intertextuality and narrative intermediality. In the paper "Chineseness" is viewed as a global, transnational cultural phenomenon.

Published: March 2023

The causal linkage between food security and global threats has not been fully resolved, whereas the relationship between food insecurity and armed conflict has been a key question in both policy and academic circles for recent decades. However, at both the global and national levels, the short-term impacts of such shocks on food security pillars is not well understood. Drawing on latest research and insights, this study attempted to prove that Russia’s war against Ukraine is a global threat to food security and investigate the short-term war-induced effects on food security in the world. It overviews the reasons contributing to the current global food crisis, the impact on food security dimensions, as well as the global community responses. According to WFP-FAO report, the consequences of a looming food crisis may be more pronounced and ultimately the number of people facing acute food insecurity worldwide is expected to rise from currently 222 million people regarded food insecure globally. As far as the current food crisis goes on and the war continues it is difficult to assess future outcomes.

Authors: Wang Xinyu , Zhao Yanan , Jin Yezhu
Published: March 2023

Power batteries are a crucial component of electric vehicles and other electric equipment. Their long-term high-rate discharge generates a lot of heat, which can lead to battery failure, shortened battery life, and even safety accidents if not managed properly. Due to its high thermal conductivity, the heat pipe can quickly conduct heat away from the battery and separate the heat source from the heat sink. In addition, due to its excellent isothermal performance, the heat pipe can also achieve the characteristics of low-temperature preheating and high-temperature cooling of the power battery by reducing the inhomogeneity of the battery temperature field to reduce the temperature difference. In this paper, we review the current state of the art in thermal management of automotive lithium-ion battery, and highlight the current state of thermal management of batteries based on the combination of nanofluids and heat pipes. Finally, the development of nanofluidic heat pipes in lithium-ion battery heat management systems is prospected.

BACKGROUND: The problem of cervical elongation is becoming increasingly important due to the rising prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse. In Russia, descent and prolapse of pelvic organs account for 39% of all gynecological pathologies.
AIM: This study aimed to compare the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment for cervical elongation in combination with vaginal wall prolapse in patients of three clinical groups.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 105 patients aged 30 to 55 years with a combination of cervical elongation and vaginal wall prolapse of degrees III were followed up. The patients were divided into three clinical groups based on the implemented surgical techniques, including group 1 (n=36) with Moscow surgery, group 2 (n=35) with modification of the Manchester surgery using synthetic implants, and group 3 (n=34) with Manchester surgery.
The patients underwent a comprehensive clinical examination, surgical treatment, and follow-up in the early and long-term postoperative periods (1, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months). The efficacy of surgical treatment was assessed using a questionnaire. During dynamic monitoring, a gynecological examination with a Valsalva maneuver, and transperineal, and transvaginal echography were performed.
RESULTS: During the first month after the surgery, patients noted irregular dragging pains in the perineum and/or inguinal region every second. A frequent urge to urinate was reported in 16.7%, 17.1%, and 17.6% of patients in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. A further survey revealed that the surgical treatment results were satisfactory, as it had a positive effect on the quality of life and mood and contributed to an increase in social and sexual activity. According to the physical examination, there were no signs of prolapse recurrence and mesh-associated complications. Erosion of the anterior vaginal wall over the polypropylene endoprosthesis was detected 6 months after the surgery in 3 (8.6%) patients of group 2.
Genital prolapse recurrence was diagnosed after 1236 months in 7 (20.6%) patients of group 3. After 36 months, degree I prolapse of the posterior (n=1) and anterior (n=1) walls of the vagina was revealed in patients of groups 1 and 2, respectively.

Isthmic-cervical insufficiency (ICI) is one of the main causes of recurrent miscarriage, leading to an increase in perinatal mortality rates and a deterioration of womens reproductive health. There are currently several methods for diagnosing ICI during pregnancy. In the non-pregnant state, its diagnosis is mainly made retrospectively based on a history of preterm birth due to shortening of the cervix. The main treatment for ICI during pregnancy is cervical cerclage. Despite the well-established technique, this surgical intervention is not always effective for prolonging pregnancy and is associated certain pregnancy risks, including uterine contractions, bleeding, and infection. Cases of cervical rupture after suturing have also been reported, which can ultimately lead to miscarriage or preterm delivery. There have been repeated cases of pregnancy loss in women even after the timely detection of ICI and surgical treatment, suggesting that these women are at risk of miscarriage in the future. For such patients, it is necessary to develop an examination algorithm to identify the various aspects of their cervical insufficiency and treatment at the pregravid stage.

Published: March 2023

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) is a mature aggressive large B-cell lymphoma of putative thymic B-cell origin arising in the mediastinum, with distinctive clinical, immunophenotypic, genotypic, and molecular features. Cases that arise outside the mediastinum are very uncommon. A 27-year-old woman presented with mass which had an extramedullary, extradural component at the right T5-6 foramina indenting to the spinal canal, extending craniocaudally from the middle mediastinum to the level of the aortic hiatus. Pathological examination of the mass revealed atypical lymphoid cells with medium-large size, eosinophilic and clear cytoplasm In our case CD23 and MAL expression with morphological findings supported PMLBCL. PMLBCL may be seen with abnormal localization and clinical presentation. Immunohistochemical profile including MAL is helpful to detect these cases.
Factores asociados a la ocurrencia de protestas en Colombia, 2000-2018
Authors: Galindo-Español Andrés Mauricio
Published: March 2023

This article seeks to make a comprehensive framework analysis to better understand social protest and its complexities. In this sense, in order to determine the factors associated with social protest in Colombia from 2000 to 2018, a descriptive study was conducted at the municipal level by implementing count models and according to potential explanations based on the grievance theory, resource mobilization, and political opportunity structure. The main result is the difference between the factors associated with the occurrence and those associated with the frequency of protests. To control the effect of population size, an additional model was implemented by separating municipalities with less and more than 1 000 000 inhabitants, which reduced the dispersion found in social protest.
Transiciones inacabadas: un estudio comparado de la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz de La Habana en los municipios de San José y Calamar (Guaviare) e Ituango (Antioquia)
Authors: Torres-Pedraza Johanna Paola , García-Romero Julián Esteban
Published: March 2023

This research seeks to analyze two transitional scenarios that the implementation of the Havana Peace Agreement generated at the local level using a comparative method to detect causal configurations that would explain such scenarios. The municipalities of San José and Calamar (Guaviare) and Ituango (Antioquia) were selected as case studies. The research questions are: how are transitional scenarios configured in the Colombian regions? What is the role of the state, political actors, armed groups, and communities in these scenarios? We use the structural relational approach of Charles Tilly (1998) to understand how a macro political process such as the Peace Agreement changes the relations between actors at the local level. We found that the place of the state has been occupied whether by an articulation between cooperation agencies, ex-combatants, and the Community Action Boards (JAC); or by a mixture of state agencies, armed groups, and the JAC.
Nada se tira, todo se transforma. Devenir docente-ciruja: gestión de la precariedad cotidiana en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires
Authors: Schwamberger Cintia , Grinberg Silvia
Published: March 2023

In this article, we propose that the idea that nothing is thrown away becomes an integral part of the daily management of precariousness in schools affected by the logics of New Public Management (NPM). We retrieve results of qualitative investigation on special education schools in urban poverty and environmental degradation contexts in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. We discuss urban recycling and the ways in which these dynamics affect schools and their teachers, and we maintain that teachers adopt basic subsistence practices like scavenging as one way of classroom management. The notion of scavenger-teacher refers, precisely, to that condition; the way in which teachers integrate the recovery of waste to get the necessary materials to do their work.
CONHECIMENTOS EM CHOQUE
Authors: Rodrigues Igor Morais Mariano
Published: March 2023

Enquanto subdisciplina que articula as práticas etnográfica e arqueológica, a etnoarqueologia foi definida de diversas formas e em diferentes lugares desde seu estabelecimento em meados do século XX. Com uma breve revisão bibliográfica, este artigo apresenta as principais modificações pelas quais ela passou, demonstrando que a etnoarqueologia não pode mais ser reduzida a uma única estratégia de pesquisa que tem apenas o positivismo como sua base filosófica. Entende-se que a etnoarqueologia se transformou tanto quanto as referidas práticas que a compõe e a legitimam como subdisciplina, sobretudo, quando se considera o grande potencial reflexivo, e de afetação, propiciado pela prática etnográfica, motivada por questões arqueológicas. As mudanças ocorridas nos objetivos da etnoarqueologia, nas formas de interação de seus praticantes com distintas populações, assim como na produção de seu conhecimento como um todo, são pensadas aqui por meio do “choque epistêmico”, inspirado na ideia de “choque cultural” de Wagner (2010).

O presente artigo teve por objetivo realizar revisão bibliográfica das teses e dissertações nacionais defendidas no período de 2011 a 2020, no sentido de analisar os estudos científicos que abordaram o emprego de herbários como incentivo no aprendizado de Botânica. Tratou-se de pesquisa de caráter exploratório e bibliográfico, em duas etapas. Na primeira fase, foram utilizadas estratégias de busca, cujo levantamento deu-se em fevereiro e março de 2021, no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES e na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações - BDTD. Os resultados apontaram 61 dissertações e quatro teses. Na segunda fase, a partir da leitura dos resumos, foram selecionadas seis pesquisas para análise. Concluiu-se que a temática ainda é pouco estudada. O uso da ferramenta didática dos herbários no contexto da sala de aula auxilia em despertar a curiosidade científica nos alunos, além de incentivar a conscientização ambiental.

Published: March 2023

Cilj raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali obstaja povezava med življenjskim slogom in zavzetostjo pri delu. V raziskavi sta bila uporabljena dva vprašalnika. Prvi je standardizirani vprašalnik UWES – 9, verificiran vprašalnik za merjenje zavzetosti pri delu. Drugi vprašalnik je bil oblikovan za merjenje življenjskega sloga posameznikov, analizirana pa je bila njihova fizično aktivnost, prehranjevalne navade ter navade, povezane s spanjem. V vzorec sta bili vključeni dve skupini, in sicer »Športniki«, natančneje pri olimpijskem komiteju registrirani člani Powerlifting zveze Slovenije ter kontrolna skupina, ki so jo predstavljali naključni posamezniki. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da se zavzetost pri delu med »Športniki« in »Nešportniki ne razlikuje, da se fizična aktivnost, prehranjevalne navade in spalne navade med »Športniki« in »Nešportniki« razlikujejo ter da obstaja povezava med življenjskim slogom in zavzetostjo pri delu. Povezava med življenjskim slogom in zavzetostjo pri delu kaže pomen posvečanja pozornosti življenjskemu slogu zaposlenih za organizacije.

Authors: Wang Lei , Zhang Qi , Wong Philip Pong Weng
Published: March 2023

Prior studies on night market tourism have mainly investigated by governments and scholars on the current situation products and development strategies with descriptive research. There are no empirical studies that have explored the perceptions of tourists in the development of night market tourism. More importantly, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, issues of night market products and services, and tourists’ opinions about night markets have become a challenge. This study aims to examine the relationships between attitude, subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioural control (PBC), perceived without travel risk, and visit intention towards night markets aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative approach was used using an online survey method involving 387 respondents followed by subsequent empirical testing of the proposed hypotheses, which was performed using SPSS and AMOS. The results indicate that attitude, SN, PBC, and perceived without travel risk positively influence intention. Furthermore, SN also displayed a significant positive influence on attitude, PBC, and perceived without travel risk. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications, as well as limitations were discussed.

Background: The current study was carried out in the animal house-College of the Veterinary Medicine/University of Mosul-Iraq. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of volatile oil extract of rosemary on some physiological and reproductive parameters of suckling female rats and their pups. Methods: 24 suckling female rats were used and have been distributed randomly to four groups 6 suckling female rats for each group. The first group was considered a control group that was administered only with corn oil orally while the other groups were treated orally with volatile oil extract of rosemary 250,500, 1000 mg/kg body weight for 21 days (time of suckling). Result: Results revealed that the treatment of suckling female rats with volatile oil extract of rosemary caused a significant P less than 0.05 decrease in body weight of suckling female and its pups in 7,14,21 days of suckling time and an increase significantly P less than 0.05 the mortality of suckling female and its pups, as well as increase the growth factor of pups(days) significantly which include (open of ears, obtained of hair, obtain of teeth and opened of the eyes), compared with the control group. Doses of volatile oils extract of rosemary (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg b.w.) caused a significant P less than 0.05 increase of testicular descent and primary preputial separation of male suckling pups (days) and a decrease significantly P less than 0.05 Ano-gential distance (AGD)/mm, as well as increased vaginal opening significantly P less than 0.05 of female suckling pups compared with the control group. There was a significant decrease P less than 0.05 in each of estrogen, prolactin, FSH and LH in all doses of rosemary oil used in the study, while there was no significant difference in progesterone copared to the control group in suckling females.
Life cycle assessment of indoor vertical farms

Published: March 2023

Indoor vertical farms (IVF) have expanded rapidly in recent years as an approach to secure resilient food provisioning in urban areas. Sustainability is often promoted by IVFs, focusing primarily on farm-level metrics and information about work with packaging. However, there are few assessments of the implications IVFs have throughout their life cycle due in part to the novelty of the industry. This chapter aims to provide information and guidance on conducting an environmental sustainability assessment of an IVF employing life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Throughout the chapter, the different phases of an LCA are outlined, and guidance is provided for practitioners in order to aid their work, assumptions, and methodological choices. Furthermore, important processes and insights from previous research are provided to promote a more sustainable IVF industry.
Attitude of Russians towards immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021)
Authors: Voronina Natalia
Published: March 2023

The objective of the author was to identify the presence, nature and factors of changes in the attitude of Russians towards immigrants during the coronavirus pandemic. It was revealed that the pandemic exacerbated the problems of natural population decline, and migration flows decreased, thereby reducing the compensation for natural decline by the influx of immigrants. On the one hand, this could increase the negative attitude of the host society towards immigrants, exacerbating the negative consequences of the coronavirus for society. On the other hand, the reduced “contact” with immigrants could switch the perception from immigrants to more acute problems, thereby making the attitude more neutral. For the empirical basis of the analysis the data of the European Social Survey for 2018 were used (for comparison with the pre-pandemic level of attitudes towards immigrants), as well as data from the Department for Comparative Political Studies of the Federal Scientific Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FCTAS RAS) for 2020–2021. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the assessment of the changes brought by immigrants to the economy, culture and everyday life of the country remains predominantly negative among Russians. The assessment of the consequences for the economy became more neutral during the study period, the perception of the consequences for the daily life of the country practically did not change, but the assessment of the consequences for culture became more negative. The regression analysis showed that the predictors of the negative attitude of Russians towards immigrants during the pandemic were: the perception of the acuteness of the problems of interethnic relations and the influx of visitors, the problem of increasing unemployment and the education of youth and adolescents, violation of the norms of public behaviour, as well as tension between men and women, the type of settlement (the larger it is, the more negative the attitude). Positive predictors turned out to be the level of institutional trust, age (the younger, the better the attitude), as well as awareness of the severity of the problem of population decline and low fertility in Russia.

The urgency of the problem is due to the need to develop the ability to differentiate muscle efforts in children aged 11–12 with a mild degree of mental retardation involved in football. The aim of the study was to substantiate the methods of using training devices that provide conditions for the development of the ability to differentiate muscle efforts in children aged 11–12 years with a mild degree of mental retardation engaged in football. Research methods: analytical review of scientific sources, questionnaires, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment. Special training devices were used in classes with children, simulating the performance of technical actions with the ball in conditions of countering external forces. The results of the study: after a pedagogical experiment in children of the experimental group, the error in the accuracy of performing foot movements up to the specified mark on the ”football cinematometer” is significantly less than in the control group. It was found that when performing equilibrium in the “Romberg Test” and when juggling the ball in children of the experimental group, the results were significantly greater than in the control group (p < 0,05). Conclusion: the use of special training devices in the technical training of children aged 11–12 years with a mild degree of mental retardation contributed to the effective development of the ability to differentiate muscle efforts and coordination abilities in general.
