Authors: Kaur Kiranpreet , Singh Kirandeep
Published: September 2023

The objective of the current study was to determine how private tuition affected the quality of secondary education. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of private tutoring on secondary school students' academic performance, the motivations behind secondary school students enrolling in private tutoring, the gender distribution of secondary school students enrolled in private tutoring, and secondary school students' perceptions of the subjects' difficulty and importance. An exploratory, descriptive methodology was used in this investigation. The sample of 200 students from the government schools of Chandigarh was chosen using a random sampling technique. The researcher used a self-made tool on the effects of private tutoring to gather data. Wherever applicable, percentages were calculated to analyse the students' opinions. The survey's findings showed that the majority of students, whether they are receiving private instruction or not, find it challenging to study on their own. The majority of students claimed that individual tutoring improved their ability to comprehend their classes and perform well on exams. A study also showed that after paying tuition, a significant portion of students' academic performance increased. The results show that the majority of students believe that getting decent grades without tuition is quite difficult.

Authors: Agrawal Nishit Anurag , Punwatkar Sushil
Published: September 2023

This scholarly article delves into the growing importance of gamification as a contemporary marketing tool for businesses. Despite its increasing adoption, there is a noticeable scarcity of scholarly investigation into how consumers perceive and embrace gamification, the factors influencing their behavior, and the varying effectiveness of gamification approaches in shaping purchasing choices and brand loyalty. Furthermore, the lack of a standardized framework for integrating gamification into existing processes presents challenges. This study aims to fill these gaps by examining how marketing gamification impacts consumer purchase intentions through elements like engagement, motivation & incentive, social influence, emotional connection, and decision-making processes. Through this analysis, we aim to gain deeper insights into gamification's cognitive impact on buying intentions, elevating its strategic importance in marketing strategies.

An Approach to Respiratory Monitoring of Anesthetized Patients With VA/Q Mismatch
Authors: Talmage Edward A.
Published: September 2023

During the last decade as increasing numbers of patients with severe cardio-pulmonary disorders have become candidates for anesthesia and surgery, it has become apparent that arterial hypoxemia may accompany seemingly adequate pulmonary ventilation with atmospheres containing high inspired concentrations of oxygen even in patients with normal pulmonary function and no impairment of diffusion. A recent review by Markello1 states that ventilationperfusion (VA/Q) mismatch (in the absence of true anatomical shunt) is most often the underlying cause of this hypoxemia. Determinations of A-aDO2 and calculation of dead space to tidal volume ratios (VD/VT), while clearly demonstrating this shunt-like effect, give little information of therapeutic value to help in obtaining a better VA/Q match. The anesthesiologist daily faces the necessity of providing a cyclic flow of alveolar gas distributed as evenly as possible throughout the lung without causing reduction and maldistribution of already impaired perfusion in situations where low cardiac output exists, as is the case in many of the patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Conversion of Single Rooms to Double Intensive Care Occupancy Addendum to Intensive Care Unit Design
Authors: Lubin David
Published: September 2023

In the Fall of 1974 Baker and I described a plan for a therapeutic island-designed intensive care unit.1 This design has been generally carried into effect in a new unit being built. The construction of a twenty-one bed intensive care unit in the existing space meant giving up this number of beds for at least nine or ten months. In addition to the loss of patient space, there would also be a significant loss of income.

The Education of Desire: Unsettling Sexuality, Gender, and Racial Politics in Contemporary Medical Romance
Authors: Herges Katja
Published: September 2023

Medical romance features health care heroes and heroines in a central love story. This article analyzes two contemporary literary examples of the popular but neglected genre of German medical romance, Julya Rabinowich’s Herznovelle (2011) and Irena Brežná’s Schuppenhaut: Ein Liebesroman (2010). This article argues that medical romance performs agile cultural work that ambivalently locates discourses of desire, race, and gender within popular, literary, and medical cultures. Through a range of literary and autofictional strategies, both works reveal how medical romance can reflect and produce bourgeois sexuality and whiteness in contemporary culture. Foregrounding their narrators’ appropriation of colonial imagery, I show that Herznovelle and Schuppenhaut open up critical questions about approaches to decolonization in German studies and medical culture.

Published: September 2023

The system of health fitness has been operating only for 20 years in Ukraine. Our state adopts the cult of a healthy lifestyle, which is why a huge number of fitness clubs have appeared. Organizational aspects of the health fitness system of Ukraine have not been studied sufficiently. The goal of the work is to improve the organizational support of the health fitness system in Ukraine. Fitness clubs are an important segment in the development of health motor activity. It is necessary to create relationships inside and outside the organization for the effective functioning of fitness clubs. The purpose of the organizational support of the fitness club is to support the response to changes in the external environment and the adaptation of the internal environment to these changes by providing the necessary resources, organizing the relationships between individual elements, and eliminating deviations that may occur. We have determined the factors of the microenvironment and the macroenvironment for the organizational support of the health fitness system. There was assessed the importance of the impact of each factor. This gives an understanding of the demand and significance of the professional activity of the fitness staff, the economic possibilities of the development and consumption of the health fitness system services (payability of the population), political stability and the intentions of the authorities regarding the development of society (today, unfortunately, the health fitness system does not interact with state and public management bodies, etc.). The factors of the remote environment also allow us to predict the possibilities of the development of science and technology, to reorient ourselves to promising/innovative fitness technologies in a timely manner. That is why the health fitness system must take them into account, respond in time and adapt to the corresponding changes.

Selection and playing orientation of footballers in the Netherlands
Authors: Dulibskyy Andriy
Published: September 2023

The national football program of the Netherlands is called the "royal methodology" of specialized training and sports training of young football players, which was introduced in Holland in the early 70s of the 20th century. The program was tested in detail and adopted for comprehensive application in the mid-80s of the same twentieth century. The basic principles of this technique with certain modern modifications exist in the Netherlands to date in almost all the best club football academies in the country.

The Dutch system of specialized game training and sports training of young football players today is one of the most effective in the world. Every year, Dutch football academies educate and give a "ticket" to professional sports to dozens of gifted players for Eredivisie clubs (the highest division of Dutch football), teams from the leading European club championships and the national football team of the country.

Training in the technique of the game and technical and tactical actions takes place mainly through the use at the initial stages of simple game techniques and educational games on small grounds. In such playgrounds, players will be able to experience a competitive environment similar to that they may encounter in real game situations during official or test games. The ideas of Rinus Michels and Johan Cruyff today are the basis of most Dutch youth club football programs, where the main emphasis in learning the game is on elements of ball control and game technical and tactical skills. The priority in these programs remains the development of game intelligence and technical and tactical learning.

The impact of weightlifting training on the somatotype of male students: a one-year study
Authors: Piven Oleksandr , Orlov Anatolyi
Published: September 2023

The sedentary lifestyle of students during online learning has been linked to negative effects on somatometry, including somatotype and other anthropometric characteristics. Online education can lead to increased sedentary behavior and reduced physical activity levels, which may significantly affect the physical form and body composition of students.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of engaging in heavy athletics training to positively influence the somatotype of male students aged 18-19 years. We conducted a year-long pedagogical observation involving 47 male students from various universities in Kharkiv who had no prior experience in sports. Among them, 22 participants engaged in heavy athletics training and constituted the experimental group, while the control group consisted of students who remained inactive during the observation period. Somatometric measurements were collected using the Carter method, which assesses somatotype based on three main anthropometric components in different age groups, including height-weight ratios, bone diameters, volumetric dimensions, and skinfold thickness. The somatotype was represented numerically as a combination of these components.

At the onset of the study, there were no significant differences in somatometric measurements between the control and experimental groups. However, after one year, the experimental group showed a considerable increase in the mesomorphic component and a decrease in the endomorphic component compared to the control group. While the ectomorphic component did not exhibit significant differences between the groups.

The findings indicate that male students who engaged in heavy athletics training demonstrated significant improvements in their somatotype over the course of one year by increasing their mesomorphic component and reducing their endomorphic component. On the other hand, non-active peers experienced a notable increase in their endomorphic component during the same period.

In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of heavy athletics training to positively impact the body composition of male students and emphasizes the need for further research to explore the underlying mechanisms. The results provide valuable insights into promoting physical activity among young adults during online learning and have implications for fostering healthier lifestyles among the student population.

Authors: Prado William Oliveira , Bertassoli Bruno Machado
Published: September 2023

Skin flaps or flaps are skin segments partially removed from a donor tissue and mobilized to cover a nearby lesion, mainly due to trauma, oncological surgeries and correction of congenital anomalies. Unlike axial pattern flaps, the creation of subdermal flaps is based on the local vascularization of the skin through the subdermal plexus, which does not include a direct cutaneous vessel in its pedicle. The objective of this work was to address the correct use of each of the local subdermal flaps, highlighting their main particularities and starting from the principles of surgical planning, the importance of anatomical knowledge of the skin and the blood vessels that compose it, as well as the distribution of its tension lines. Knowledge of the wound healing process should be considered in reconstructive procedures for greater success in the approaches. The main postoperative complication in the use of these flaps is suture dehiscence, mostly caused by excessive tension on the edges of the wound. The described local subdermal flaps are advancement, rotation, transposition and interpolation.

Published: September 2023

Residues are the main element used by researchers in veterinary medical expertise. They are found at crime scenes and can be classified by various materials used as a means of evidence. This article aims to classify, identify, interpret and discuss the main types of residues of interest in legal and forensic expertise in veterinarian laboratories. In this review paper, research was carried out using articles, scientific reviews, dissertations, theses and books on the repositories Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scielo and Latindex. Investigation techniques are fundamental in the discovery of the authorship and materiality of crimes. The crime scene is the source of the residues left during the criminal act and the success of the investigation is determined by their identification, classification, interpretation and detailed analysis. Residues are the raw materials found and/or collected from the crime scene, related to the court exhibits. In forensic investigations, there are always several traces made up of different elements of physical, chemical or biological origin, which may or may not be related to the criminal act; such matters are explored in the veterinary medical expertise. Investigations provide necessary data for the preparation of expert reports, which are great tools for the judicial authorities. The evaluation of residues begins when arriving from the crime scene, and it must be decided which traces can be collected and sent for laboratory analysis. In the last century, there has been great evolution in the identification, preservation and chain of custody of residues and evidence, which help judicial processes. Collection, packaging and shipment is essential to maintaining the integrity and biosecurity of the samples. Therefore, the improvement of classification, identification and interpretation of residues is considered of great importance in legal and forensic investigation in cases involving animals.

Due to the increase of eye surgeries in the veterinary routine, and they being associated with moderate to severe pain, techniques for analgesic control have been sought, among which locoregional anesthesia stands out. This study aimed to describe the retrobulbar block technique in a lion (Panthera leo), 12 years old, 146 kg, treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná for a surgical enucleation procedure, illustrating its applicability in this species. The animal was previously sedated for transport with tiletamine-zolazepam at a dose of 3 mg/kg. Due to his state of consciousness when arriving at the hospital, a second administration of drugs was necessary. Dexmedetomidine (5mcg/kg), methadone (0,2mg/kg) and dextroketamine (2mg/kg) were used in combination. Induction was performed with remifentanil (10 mcg/kg/min) and propofol (50 mcg/kg/min) for about 10 minutes. Anesthesic maintenance was performed using the total intravenous anesthesia technique by administering propofol at a variable rate, adjusted between 12,5-50 mcg/kg/min, remifentanil at the rate of 5 to 10 ug/kg/h, dexmedetomidine at 0,5 to 1 ug/kg/h and ketamine at 0,6 mg/kg/h. Aiming at preemptive analgesia, a retrobulbar block was performed by anatomical reference through an inferotemporal approach of the orbit with 0,5% bupivacaine at a dose of 0,05 mL/kg. During the procedure, the physiological parameters remained stable within the reference values, and no analgesic rescue was necessary during the operation, confirming the effectiveness of the retrobulbar block. However, as it is a wild animal, the evaluation of postoperative analgesic efficacy was not feasible.

A tapir (Tapirus terrestris) was found with a serious injury to the head. The animal was captured and treated for 35 days with local cleaning and healing ointments, but with little progress in the wound healing process. The animal then received intradermal application of heterologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at the edges of the wound. MSCs were isolated from adipose tissue of a healthy donor horse, cultured and characterized according to the criteria of the International Society for Cell Therapy. From that moment on, the wound began to show greater vascularization and the presence of granulation tissue, leading to complete closure of the site after 3 months - the tapir was then reintroduced into nature. Therapy with MSCs proved to be effective in accelerating the healing process of the animal's wound.

Authors: Demidas H. , Galushko I. V.
Published: September 2023

The cultivation of red clover for fodder purposes on typical low-humus chernozems of the northern part of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine is profitable. Regardless of the technology components, it provides a net profit of UAH 14,962-23,743 per hectare with a profitability of 88-259% and a cost of 1 ton of feed units of UAH 1,415-2,662 and raw protein of UAH 5,363-10,265, a payback of energy costs in terms of gross energy (EER) yield per hectare of 6.2-9.0 and metabolisable energy (BER) yield per hectare of 3.2-4.6, with energy costs per 1 ton of feed units of 2.86-4.20 GJ. The purpose of the study was to determine changes in the economic and energy efficiency of growing different varieties of red clover for fodder purposes depending on the methods of sowing, seed inoculation with nodule bacteria and fertilisation. During the research, the following methods were used: field and laboratory – for conducting research in the field and laboratory conditions, analytical – to determine the chemical composition of dry biomass of red clover, calculation - to determine the indicators of economic and energy efficiency. The best rates of economic and energy efficiency of red clover cultivation are provided by the variety Typhoon when seeds are inoculated with nodule bacteria on fertiliser-free soil. The additional application of P60K90 or N60R60K90 against the background of inoculation, which is necessary to preserve soil fertility, worsens them, reducing net profit by 3,486-5,943 UAH/ha
The efficiency of fertilisation in the cultivation of high oleic sunflower on typical low humus chernozems
Authors: Yunyk Аnatolii
Published: September 2023

The cultivation of high oleic sunflower hybrids is very promising as sunflower is highly competitive on the international market and has a growing demand for oil as the main product of its processing. Despite the significance of sunflower as one of Ukraine's traditional crops, its cultivation technology still has many unresolved issues. Among the elements of cultivation technology aimed at increasing crop yields, research with high-oleic hybrids is of particular importance, as it requires studying the level of mineral nutrition and the need for sulfur application, considering their impact on the oleic acid content. The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of sulfur at different rates of mineral fertilisers on the formation of productivity of high-oleic sunflower plants on typical low-humus chernozems of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The research programme envisaged the establishment of a field trial in 2015-2017. The research was conducted in the form of a two-factor field experiment. The experimental program provides for the study of the following factors: factor A – mineral fertiliser application rates, factor B – sulfur application. The study was conducted using generally accepted methods for scientific research in crop production. The study revealed that the maximum amount of dry matter was accumulated in the variants with the introduction of N90R75K135+S30 and N120R100K180+S30. The addition of sulfur increases the dry matter yield from 5.69% to 9.27%. The highest yield of sunflower seeds is formed by applying N90R75K135+S30 -4.12 t/ha. A further increase in the rate of application of mineral fertilisers does not lead to a significant increase in yield. The introduction of S30 in combination with N90R75K135 allows increasing the yield of sunflower seeds by 0.35 t/ha or 9.28%. The correlation and regression analysis of the obtained research results shows a close correlation between the accumulation of dry matter mass in BBCH55-57 and BBCH 65-67 and the level of yield (respectively r = 0.917 and r = 0.972). The highest fat content in seeds (49.7%) with the highest oleic acid content (88.5%) and the maximum oil yield (2.05 t/ha) is provided by the cultivation of the ES Romantic hybrid with the introduction of N90R75K135+S30

The article presents data on the emergence and spread of the invasive potential of the dangerous pest Metcalfa pruinosa (Say) in the conditions of the Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The insect was recorded for the first time at the botanical-geographic site "Far East" in the NBG in May 2016. Since then, M. pruinosa the has expanded its range, and new sites of insect infestation have been found in the NBG and on private grounds outside the botanical garden. The host plants were identified and the extent of their damage was assessed. The most populated plant species belonged to the genera Rosaceae, Aceraceae, Oleaceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Amaranthaceae, Apiaceae, Araliaceae, Balsaminaceaee. The phenology of citrus flatid planthopper was investigated. It has been established that the insect has one generation per year. The development of the M. pruinosa is limited to a minimum air temperature of 17–20 °С. In the first decade of May, the appearance of larvae citrus flatid planthopper is observed. The first imagos are recorded in early or mid-July, depending on the meteorological conditions of the year. The complete disappearance of adults occurs at the end of August. In order to prevent the further introduction, spread and harmfulness of M. pruinosa in Ukraine, the following measures should be considered: (1) trade of plants for planting is necessary only from pest-free production sites, (2) periodic inspections of plants for colonization by M. pruinosa larvae should be carried out in June , (3) conduct a special inspection of wax threads, (4) apply insecticides against the young immature stages of M. pruinosa, (5) increase public awareness of this pest.

Authors: Sagaydak D. , Bogolubov V.
Published: September 2023

The system of continuous air monitoring during active hostilities near Kyiv was turned off in order to ensure security and mask the movement of Ukrainian military equipment. A study was conducted to determine the impact of military actions on the movement of air masses contaminated with fine dust: solid particles up to 2.5 microns (PM2.5) and 10 microns (PM10). During the fall or detonation of rockets, artillery shells and mines, as well as during the movement of a large amount of heavy military equipment, a large amount of finely dispersed dust of PM2.5 and PM10 fractions is formed, which spreads over long distances and settles on buildings, soils and plants. Getting this dust into the lungs negatively affects the human body in the form of respiratory diseases and cardiovascular complications. Usually, it is almost impossible to collect and analyze all the factors and factors affecting the person and the environment, because it is too complex a system in which accurate data and calculations are difficult, especially during active military operations. The collected monitoring data can help in the general assessment of the impact on the population and the surrounding natural environment and assess the potential damage caused by aggressive military actions.

During the study, the concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 solid dust particles in the atmospheric air after missile, artillery, bomb attacks and other influential factors of a military nature was analyzed, as well as an assessment of the potential impact of such particles on the health of the population and the environment.

Sampling was carried out on the territory of the city of Kyiv in the Shevchenkivskyi, Holosiivskyi, Obolonskyi, Svyatoshynskyi, Solomyanskyi districts. Due to the fact that it was impossible to predict the place of fall or impact of projectiles, some measurements were made in places as close as possible to the points of impact.

The results of the analysis of the impact of PM2.5 and PM10 fine particles on the environment showed that due to atmospheric air pollution, the particles can settle on plants, enter the soil, water and subsequently negatively affect the state of local ecosystems.

The relevance of the study is due to the lack of data on the cortical mechanisms of regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the body of dogs. In this regard, this article is aimed at revealing the issue of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in dogs with various types of higher nervous activity under the influence of short-term food deprivation. It is shown that the effect of short-term food deprivation is characterized by changes in metabolism in the body of dogs, which are limited by the state of the nervous system of these animals. In the intact state, the glucose content in the blood of dogs with different types of higher nervous activity does not reliably differ, while the lactate content in the blood of dogs with a weak type of higher nervous activity is higher by 16.2% (P < 0.01), and pyruvate is lower by 6.3% (P < 0.001) from the indicators of dogs with a strong balanced mobile type. Within a day after the beginning of food deprivation, the glucose content in the blood of dogs decreases by 4.6–8.2% depending on the type of nervous activity (P < 0.05–0.01). During the day after the beginning of deprivation, the ratio of lactate to pyruvate in the blood of dogs, depending on the type of higher nervous activity, increases by 19.1–36.0% (Р < 0.01), the content of total cholesterol and triacylglycerols in the blood plasma decreases by 3, 5–12.9% and the ratio of lipids of different densities changes significantly. In particular, in the blood plasma of dogs of a strong balanced mobile type of higher nervous activity, the cholesterol content of high-density lipoproteins decreased during the day by 7.1% (Р < 0.05). Thanks to the conducted research, it was possible to obtain fundamental knowledge of the cortical mechanisms of regulation of carbohydrates and lipids in the body of dogs, which will form the basis of the development of new, modern methods of correction of metabolism, taking into account the type of higher nervous activity. Prospects for further research consist in the development of new methods of correction of metabolism based on the use of nanoaquachelates of biogenic metals, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body of dogs.

Published: September 2023

A dor musculoesquelética crônica (DMC) é uma condição complexa e uma das principais causas de incapacidade funcional, sendo a Educação em Neurociência da Dor (END) considerada atualmente uma importante estratégia no tratamento fisioterapêutico. O objetivo do estudo foi explorar quais são as percepções dos pacientes com DMC sobre estratégias de END no tratamento de Fisioterapia. Este estudo é uma metassíntese e os artigos foram selecionados por duas pesquisadoras de forma independente. Sete estudos compuseram esta revisão e, a partir da análise temática, foram identificados três temas relevantes: (1) Crenças e experiências no processo de reconceituação da dor, (2) Influência das estratégias pedagógicas sobre a reconceituação da dor e (3) Relação entre reconceituação da dor e benefícios clínicos. Os estudos indicam que os participantes encontram desafios no processo de reconceituação da dor, sendo o maior deles a mudança na crença de que a intensidade da dor está diretamente relacionada à lesão tecidual. Os participantes demonstraram preferir intervenções longas, em grupo e associadas a exercícios, além de estratégias pedagógicas que ofereçam explicações que contemplem suas experiências.

New Risks and Threats in China’s Economy: Consequences of Sanction Pressure or Falling into the “Middle-Income Trap”?
Authors: Zakliazminskaia Ekaterina O.
Published: September 2023

The decline in the country’s GDP growth rates is determined by the structural imbalances of the transitional economy of China, the consequences of the geo-economic war unleashed by the United States, and the inevitable crisis of growth, accompanied by the risk of falling into the “middle-income trap”.
At the initial stage, the sanctions pressure on China caused considerable concern, however, since May 2023, Beijing began to introduce effective countersanctions that can reverse the situation with the sanctions pressure and lead to its weakening.
Another factor of concern about the situation in the country’s economy is related to the difficulties in further search for internal growth drivers. Since 2019, China has come close to high-income countries, but the PRC has not yet managed to overcome the milestone and stand on a par with “rich” states.
The main conclusion of the study is that risks and threats are growing in the Chinese economy due to sanctions pressure and approaching the “middle-income trap”.

Authors: Tur’inskaya Khristina M.
Published: September 2023

The article highlights the issues of state-building and nation-building in post-colonial Cameroon. An outline of the current situation in the economy, politics, social sphere and cultural agenda is given. The author focuses on key facts and events from the history of statehood, politics, culture and social thought of modern Cameroon. Important dates are associated with the names and activities of famous Cameroonians: politicians and statesmen Ahmadou Ahidjo and Paul Biya, writer Mongo Beti, who saw culture as a means of political mobilization and a way to protest against the French colonial and neo-colonial domination in Africa.
The paper discusses the causes of the “Anglophone crisis” and separatism of “Southern Cameroons”, as well as the problems of the territorial and administrative structure in Cameroon, which are directly related to the national and federal issue. The experience and prospects of Cameroonian federalism and unitarianism, the results of the “Major National Dialogue”, initiated by the central government in order to resolve the acute internal political crisis in the country, are analyzed.
