The structure, thermal and some physical properties of lead fluoroborate glasses containing 30 mol% SiO2 have been investigated by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The glasses were prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that the network of these glasses consists mainly of BO3, BO4, SiO4, and PbO4 structural units. The thermal stability of the glass samples determined by differential thermal analysis was found to be about 80°C. Dilatometric measurements showed that the glass transition temperature and dilatometric softening temperature decrease with increasing lead content, whereas the coefficient of thermal expansion increases. The density and molar volume increased with the increase in lead content. The conductivity of the investigated glasses mainly depends on the mobility of F– and Pb2+ ions. The variation in volume resistance upon changing the composition has been correlated with the structural changes in the glass network. The results obtained in this study indicate that the investigated glasses can be potential candidates for advanced technologies as solder and sealing materials.

The effect of introducing cerium oxide (CeO2) at 5% and 9% concentrations as dopants to improve the catalytic performance of the copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles was studied using a hydrothermal technique. The seed layer is placed in an autoclave, usually made of Teflon, and heated with water for 10 hours at 100°C. The resulting films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and photoluminescence (PL). The grain size decrease as the doping concentration increases, while the roughness, and RMS increase. The sensor was developed to detect different concentrations of ammonia (NH3) gas. CuO at 9% of CeO2 sample exhibited the highest sensitivity about (48%) for NH3 gas at 1.5C.

Medical cobalt-chromium alloy has been widely used in oral implants due to its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, etc. However, its antibacterial properties should be improved as an implant. In this paper, nano-zinc oxide and Ag-loaded zinc oxide coating were prepared on cobalt-chromium alloy using the hydrothermal and photoreduction methods, and the influencing factors of the preparation process were studied. The effects of pH, hydrothermal temperature and time on the morphology of nano-sized zinc oxide were investigated. The results show that the zinc oxide has satisfactory morphology when the hydrothermal time is 3.0 h, hydrothermal temperature is 100 ℃, and pH value is 9.5. The effects of light intensity, illumination duration and AgNO3 concentration on the size and dispersion of silver nanoparticles on the Ag-loaded zinc oxide were studied. The results show that the Ag-loaded zinc oxide has satisfactory morphology under the illumination intensity of 0.6 W/m2 , illumination duration of 60 min and AgNO3 concentration of 1.0 mol/L. By analyzing the morphology, phase, quality and thickness of zinc oxide and Ag-loaded zinc oxide coating, it is found that the needle-like zinc oxide array is uniformly loaded with silver particles. The average thickness of the coatings is 6.80 μm, and the average weight is 1.67 mg. The antibacterial test shows that the Ag-loaded zinc oxide coating has better antibacterial performance than the pure zinc oxide coating, both of which were better than the blank control sample.

Sol-gel auto combustion was used to create a sequence of soft ferrites, NixMg1- xFe1.9Sm0.1O4(x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4 & 0.6). The XRD, FTIR, UV-vis, & four probe I-V techniques, respectively, were used to evaluate the structural, optical, and electrical properties. The cubic crystal structure was confirmed by the XRD pattern. The range of 25.71 - 33.67 nm was found to be the average crystallite size. FTIR spectra provided evidence of the tetrahedral band's existence. With the enhancement of Ni2+ concentration, Eg was determined from 2.28-3.21 eV. It was confirmed by the ranges of DC electrical resistivity that materials might be used in transformers to lessen eddy current losses.

Biodiesel is a clean-burning, oxygenated monoalkyl-ester fuel manufactured from natural, renewable sources like new/used vegetable oils and animal fats. The injection time has a significant impact on engine performance, particularly pollutant emissions. The purpose of this research is to see if Chlorellea Emersonii methyl ester (CEME) can be used as a fuel alternative in a compression ignition (CI) engine. The CEME was synthesised using a transesterification technique, and the engine parameters (performance, emission, and combustion) were investigated using 20 (v/v%) biodiesel blends at retard, standard, and advanced injection timings (IT). In this study an alteration in injection timing were done with TRC and BF combination. Other than conventional injection timing of 23o bTDC three more injection timing included ie 24o bTDC (advance IT), 21o bTDC (retarded IT) and 22o bTDC (retarded IT). Outcome results showed 22o bTDC(retarded IT) with 2.12% improvement in BTE followed by 24.5%,35.15% and 90.2% reduction in HC,CO and smoke.

The current study focuses on the effect of pressure on zinc oxide, ZnO, which is considered an essential element in several fields. In this research, the method of calculation has been used from the commencement to find the ZnO compound's structural and electrical characteristics at various pressure levels. It is found that the obtained results related to the crystal structure of the compound with phase (B4) Wurtzite agree well with previous theoretical and experimental findings. In addition, the electronic properties showed that ZnO has a direct gap of 0.68 eV, and the density of states showed that the3d position of the zinc atom significantly contributed to building the density of the electronic states of the compound, followed by the P-terminal of the oxygen atom. As it became clear to us that changing the pressure applied to the oxide ZnO increases the value of its energy gap, while the pressure value of 13.38 GPa is the crystal transition point from phase (B4) to (B1).

Published: December 2022

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of pathological vascular remodeling is important for treating cardiovascular diseases and complications. Recent studies have highlighted a role of deubiquitinases in vascular pathophysiology. Here, we investigate the role of a deubiquitinase, OTUD1, in angiotensin II (Ang II)‐induced vascular remodeling. We detect upregulated OTUD1 in the vascular endothelium of Ang II‐challenged mice and show that OTUD1 deletion attenuates vascular remodeling, collagen deposition, and EndMT. Conversely, OTUD1 overexpression aggravates these pathological changes both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, SMAD3 is identified as a substrate of OTUD1 using co‐immunoprecipitation followed by LC–MS/MS. We find that OTUD1 stabilizes SMAD3 and facilitates SMAD3/SMAD4 complex formation and subsequent nuclear translocation through both K48‐ and K63‐linked deubiquitination. OTUD1‐mediated SMAD3 activation regulates transcription of genes involved in vascular EndMT and remodeling in HUVECs. Finally, SMAD3 inhibition reverses OTUD1‐promoted vascular remodeling. Our findings demonstrate that endothelial OTUD1 promotes Ang II‐induced vascular remodeling by deubiquitinating SMAD3. We identify SMAD3 as a target of OTUD1 and propose OTUD1 as a potential therapeutic target for diseases related to vascular remodeling.

Property law is present in every narrative, language and even in fairy tales as a fundamental right. The contribution, based on the fairy tales Up and The Emperor’s New Groove, aims to draw – in fairy tales as well as in reality – the boundaries within which this right can be exercised. The purpose of this paper, using an empirical and qualitative methodology, is to demonstrate how the use of fairy tales can be useful to teach young students of both primary and high school important concepts such as those part of the modern concept of “property” expressed recently by the legal doctrine and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights.
Law and Literature – New Tendencies Based on the Example of Science Fiction Motifs
Authors: Andruszkiewicz Marta
Published: December 2022

This article presents an example of law and literature movement applicability as a phenomenon in legal sciences. It shows the links between law and literature based on the example of the features that are characteristic of literature and, at the same time, are important in the reflection of the philosophy of law and in current law-making practice. This approach is inspired by a cultural approach to legal theory and philosophy (cultural studies of law). The law and literature movement deals with diverse issues in the field of the integration of legal sciences with linguistics and literary theory. The law and literature movement is not novel in the Anglo-Saxon legal culture, as opposed to Polish law science where it is rather new and has recently been gaining in popularity. In this paper, I will try to answer the question of how the law and literature movement and research perspectives originating from this trend could be an inspiration for further use in legal philosophy. This reflection is inspired by some works in the science fiction (S-F) genre.
Choice of Language in Discussions on Law. Pregnancy Termination in the Legislative Process of the Polish Sejm of the Eighth Term
Authors: Michalczuk-Wlizło Marta
Published: December 2022

The radicalization of views and the conflict concerning the possibility of, and the rationale for, the institutionalization of termination of pregnancy in Poland usually gain prominence before elections, when political parties, when presenting their programs, bring controversial issues that evoke extreme emotions to the debate. The appearance of the topic of abortion in the discourse is always accompanied by increased attention of the media, which makes the issue even more attractive for politicians. An analysis is presented of the bills amending the Act of 7 January 1993 on family planning, protection of the human fetus, and the conditions of permissibility of abortion, also known as the “Family Planning Act” or the “Anti-Abortion Act,” as well as of parliamentary debates1 focused on the issue of the right to abortion in Poland, that is primarily those debates where the issue of expanding or narrowing the enumerative catalog of prerequisites for permissibility of abortion was discussed. The temporal scope of the subject matter includes the legislative processes that took place before the eighth term of the Sejm. The paper is an attempt to interpret the regularities observed during the research and does not aspire to be an exhaustive description of the topic.
Teaching English for Legal Purposes (ELP) in the Era of the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Case Study of Students’ Perspectives
Authors: Sierocka Halina
Published: December 2022

The emergence of coronavirus in early 2020 and its rapid spread led to the pandemic that has affected almost all aspects of our lives, including education, law1 and the economy. After the first downtime and the initial shock it became clear that it was extremely important that learning continued; therefore, when schools and universities were closed and lockdowns introduced, online teaching became a priority. For the vast majority of teachers and students, however, it posed an enormous challenge as the situation required leaving their comfort zones, adapting to new conditions and / or acquiring new skills. Some of them were also forced to confront their prejudices towards this mode of instruction. This paper endeavours to provide some insights into the teaching English for Legal Purposes online in the times of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the course of Legal English carried out for Slovak judges, prosecutors and court staff in 2020 and 2021 provides a specific case background for the research. The study aimed to investigate how the course participants perceive learning Legal English online. The research particularly addresses the questions what their approach towards this mode of instruction was before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, what they like and dislike about online language learning, whether they find learning Legal English online more difficult than studying in a real classroom as well as whether online classes can be as effective and enjoyable as traditional ones. The study assumed both a quantitative and qualitative methodology encompassing a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The findings of the research show that an overwhelming majority of the respondents favourably evaluated the course and would definitely participate again in a similar format or recommend it to other learners.
Acquisition of Polish among Foreigners in Bilingual Couples with Poles: Impact Factors
Authors: Stępkowska Agnieszka
Published: December 2022

The article considers bilingual couples of Poles with foreigners residing in Poland with a special focus on the acquisition of Polish by the latter. Foreigners from such couples function not only in their families but also in wider circles of the host society. Communication needs resulting from contacts outside a bilingual couple and job commitments lead to situations when life in the host society becomes a challenge if these needs are not met. Theoretical framework for the analysis and interpretation of this phenomenon is the Complementarity Principle (Grosjean) and the concept of a domain (Fishman). Data were obtained from 24 in-depth interviews with bilingual couples. Qualitative methodology made it possible to grasp the complexity of the researched cases and phenomena which unveiled specific trends. Findings of the study revealed major factors that had a direct impact on the acquisition of Polish among foreigners in bilingual couples with Poles. The key impact factors referred to (1) the way of communication in the couple, (2) the couple’s language strategies towards children, and (3) the contact with the partner’s extended family, including the type of professional activity.
The nature of religious consciousness in the optics of cultural-historical psychology by Lev S. Vygotsky
Authors: Dvoinin Alexey
Published: December 2022

The article presents the author’s attempt to apply the ideas of Lev S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology to the analysis of the nature of religious consciousness. Cultural-historical psychology is offered as an adequate alternative to such fields as cognitive religious studies and evolutionary psychology of religion, because it does not ignore and does not reduce the social and cultural determinants of mental development. Based on the ideas of Lev S. Vygotsky and his studies of magical thinking and semiotic mediation of mental functions, the author from the psychological point of view considers religion as a special system of historically formed cultural (semiotic) means that contribute to mastering one’s own mental functions and behavior. It is suggested that these semiotic tools be referred to as religious or supernatural mental tools. The following groups of these tools are distinguished: 1) religious objects (natural or artificial); 2) religious actions (rituals); 3) religious images (objectified or subjective); 4) religious meanings (concepts). The nature of religious consciousness viewed through the lens of cultural-historical psychology by Lev S. Vygotsky is revealed by the author in a number of provisions: religious consciousness is a mental functional system resulting from the process of assimilation, mainly verbal semiotic means of a particular religious tradition; religious consciousness is constituted as dynamic systems of meaning that integrate the believer’s intellectual and affective processes; religious consciousness is social in origin and is formed in activity; semiotic mediation of mental functions and human behavior is the mechanism to form religious consciousness. Further work on the application of Lev S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology to the analysis of religious consciousness must include the development of experimental research methodology, the advancement of experimental hypotheses, and the consideration from the perspective of this approach of explanatory models and facts obtained in other approaches – cognitive religious studies and evolutionary psychology of religion.
Christian view on treating animals: theological criticism of P. Singer
Authors: Korostichenko Ekaterina
Published: December 2022

P. Singer is called one of the most influential living philosophers in the world, and one of the most controversial. The author of "Animal Liberation", "Practical Ethics", "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" created his own project of preference utilitarianism, in which he placed animals as moral subjects equal to man. In this, he questions Christian anthropocentrism: a human in his system of ethics is intrinsically no better than a chimpanzee or a dog. He recognizes the uniqueness of all species, speaking out against speciesism (discrimination on grounds of species). Singer's ethics is completely independent of religion. Raising issues related to abortion, euthanasia, animal rights, etc., the philosopher inevitably arrived to confrontation with Christian ethics and religious worldview in general. Religion, especially Christianity, plays a significant role in his works, since he considers many of the provisions of Christianity: the special position of humans in the natural world, the attitude to the sanctity of life - to be morally problematic. The article analyzes Peter Singer's critical theses on the Christian religion, including Christian ethics. The second section considers the responses of a number of modern religious thinkers to Singer's criticism of Christianity. In conclusion, the arguments of both sides are analyzed, their strengths and weaknesses are outlined, involving a broader tradition of secular-religious dispute. Conclusions are made about the validity of P. Singer's criticism of religion. Although said criticism is broadly integrated into the works of the philosopher, it is hardly a focus point - rather a tool to solidify Singer's position on practical questions like abortion, euthanasia, animal rights, etc. The negative attitude to religion has roots in Singer's early acquaintance with the Bible and the unhappy past of his family (two of the philosopher's grandparents died in concentration camps). The question of the meaninglessness of suffering largely determines the philosophy and practical ethics of P. Singer. Arguing with theologians, he most often resorts to the classical argument from evil. Singer's criticism of Christian religion is limited, reduced to the problem of the meaninglessness of suffering, the Euthyphron dilemma, criticism of the sanctity of human life, the "dominion" of man over nature. With the exception of a detailed analysis of the bias of Christianity against animals, the criticism is not original.

Introduction. Currently, the paradigm of cloud computing has become widespread in many areas of human life. Particular attention is paid to the use of cloud technologies in emergency response management systems. In Ukraine, such systems are multi-level, mainly with state administration. The use of cloud technologies also opens up new opportunities for the processes of information integration in these systems. Therefore, the problem of building cloud computing models for data integration in multilevel emergency response management systems is quite relevant. Purpose of the article. The purpose of the article is to build a model for integrating data coming to different levels of a 3-level emergency response management model using cloud computing technology. Three main levels of government carried out by public authorities – strategic (state), operational (regional) and tactical (direct executors) are involved in responding to crisis and emergency situations and are the object of research work in terms of data integration using cloud computing. Results. The analysis of a 3-level emergency response management system was carried out for the purpose of transformation, integration and storage in cloud structures of data coming from different sources. A study was made of the process of converting primary data to a state that allows them to be used as input in analytical systems. A hybrid cloud infrastructure for processing and storing data at various levels of management is proposed. It is proposed to use a role-oriented user interface for accessing a catalog of services that are publicly available in a hybrid cloud. The advantages of using cloud technologies in creating a joint information environment and situational awareness for a 3-level emergency response management model are shown. Conclusions. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that the use of cloud technologies in multi-level emergency response management systems can provide an opportunity to solve the problem of processing and storing a large amount of incoming data and provide an advantage in the processes of creating a joint information environment and awareness of the situation. The results of the work can be useful in building a cloud infrastructure for multi-level control systems.

It is considered organizational and legal forms of exercise by the subjects of powers in the studied field and ways of regulating their competence. It is revealed that the method of partial regulation was used to regulate the competence of military-civilian administration in the field of administrative-territorial system solving issues of in the legislation, when only their most important powers are determined. At the same time the competence of military administrations in the specified field is defined by dual — the way of the subject to the powers (own powers) and which are only presented in the legal context and in a combined manner (expanded powers). It is argued that the legal status of military-civilian administrations and military administrations in a multi-level hierarchical system of subordination in certain cases causes additional approvals in resolving the issues of administrative and territorial system. It has been proven that the legal regime of Martial law has been affected by the process of resolving the military administrations of the administrative-territorial system, and therefore this process can exclude the stages of public hearings, publication on official websites and other media information on disposal information the heads of these administrations. Considering the national nature of solving the issues of administrativeterritorial system, their importance and relevance, it is suggested to switch to the way of whole regulatory regulation of competence military-civilian administration and military administrations the author formulates proposals for improving the current legislation in the specified field.
ФІНАНСОВА ГЛИБИНА ЕКОНОМІКИ УКРАЇНИ: СЕКТОРАЛЬНИЙ РОЗРІЗ

Published: December 2022

Визначення диспропорцій у формуванні фінансової глибини економіки дозволило відстежити невідповідності в розвитку банківського, небанківського секторів і ринку капіталу і, як наслідок, виявити розбалансованість усього процесу фінансового поглиблення. Кількісна оцінка банківського сектору України за період 2000 р. – серпень 2022 р. за допомогою показників монетизації економіки (співвідношення грошової бази до ВВП, М3 до ВВП), активів банківської системи (співвідношення активів НБУ і банків до ВВП, банківських кредитів до ВВП, вкладень банків у цінні папери до ВВП, частки наданих банківських кредитів суб’єктам господарювання і фізичним особам, частки наданих банківських кредитів строком до одного року, частки споживчих та іпотечних кредитів фізичних осіб), співвідношення капіталу й зобов’язань банків до ВВП (частки депозитів суб’єктів господарювання і фізичних осіб, частки строкових депозитів) свідчить про відрив банківської глибини від потреб реального сектору, а саме про відсутність «довгих» фінансових ресурсів і орієнтацію банків на швидкий дохід. Кількісна оцінка глибини небанківського сектору за період 2005 р. – II квартал 2022 р. (за допомогою співвідношення активів небанківського сектору до активів фінансового сектору; обсягів послуг, наданих страховими компаніями, кредитними спілками, фінансовими компаніями і лізингодавцями, ломбардами, недержавними пенсійними фондами) свідчить про зростання частки активів фінансових компаній і витіснення страхової галузі з 2015 р. Кількісна оцінка глибини ринку капіталу з 2000-х років говорить про його низьку роль у формуванні фінансової глибини через відсутність фінансових інструментів з високими інвестиційними властивостями і незначні обсяги ліквідності біржового обігу цінних паперів. Активізація банківського кредитування й біржової торгівлі цінними паперами виокремлено як напрями покращення формування фінансової глибини економіки України.

The Evolution of Israel's Religion from Abraham to Pre-Exilic and Its Significance for Christians
Authors: Tjhin Suyadi , Dendeng Leonardo C.
Published: December 2022

This article examines the evolution of Israel's religion from the Abrahamic Pre-exilic (approx. 2100-586 BC). The main data of this research is a literature study with a qualitative methodology through an Integrative Critical Analysis (ICA) approach to achieving the aims or objectives of the research. The conclusion or research results obtained are that the evolution of Israel's religion occurred not only in an applicative manner but also substantively. The evolution of Israel's religion can be said to be inseparable from the population, natural, socio-political, marriage, or family factors, where religion is the ultimate concern for survival, aligning life with the universe (aligning one's self with the universe), appeasing the gods including Baal, Asherah, Molok, and others to get their favor (how to placate the deities and secure their favor) with the background of the principle that obedience can be a blessing and disobedience can be a curse. Its significance for Christians is that Israel's religion and Christianity have historical and theological links to deepen understanding of the Bible; as a mirror of faith and Christian life; and how Christians should practice their religion in a pluralist society and the midst of pluralism.
The paradox of safety between pastors and female congregants
Authors: Khosa-Nkatini Hundzukani P. , Mofokeng Jacob T.
Published: December 2022

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a world concern; however, in South Africa it has been declared as a national crisis that is embedded in the social-cultural context and history of the country. One of the greatest challenges in South Africa is the high unemployment rate and the pressure to fit into society. Some of those unemployed South Africans go to church for prayers with the hope to get employed. Unemployed South Africans are vulnerable due to unemployment and pressure to fit in, and this is sometimes influenced by social media. Some pastors take advantage of these individuals either by asking them to plant a “seed” (money) or taking advantaged of them sexually. Women, young and old are the most vulnerable in church, the pressure to get employment, to get married, to stay married, to have children etc. are the most common prayer requests from women in church. GBV in South Africa have been an ongoing investigation by various disciplines. One of the most difficult and sensitive realities to investigate is the existence of clergy who abuse women they are supposed to care for as caregivers. The Church has been in the front line in spearheading programms within it to deal with GBV but little to done are said about Pastors as perpetrators directly the problem of GBV has been further fueled by socio status, poverty, gender and equality issues, African culture, long-standing silence about a problem that undermines the very foundations of pastoral work and institutional Christianity: sexual abuse of women by pastors. The aim of this article to challenge theology and the church on how the cycle of perpetrators among pastors can be broken and what role can pastoral counsellors’ play regarding both victims and offenders to prevent history from repeating itself and assure female congregants of their safety in church, this study will use literature review.
Celestial India: Madame Blavatsky and the Birth of Indian Nationalism
Authors: Lubelsky Isaac
Published: December 2022

In 1917 Annie Besant, a white Englishwoman, was elected president of the Indian National Congress, the body which, under the guidance of Gandhi, would later lead India to independence. Besant – in her earlier career an active atheist and a socialist journalist – was from 1907 till her death the president of the Theosophical Society, an international spiritual movement whose headquarters’ location in Madras symbolized its belief in India as the world’s spiritual heart. Celestial India deals with the contribution of the Theosophical Society to the rise of Indian nationalism and seeks to restore it to its proper place in the history of ideas, both with regard to its spiritual doctrine and the sources on which it drew, as well as its role in giving rise to the New Age movement of the twentieth century.
Dudjom Rinpoche's Vajrakīlaya Works: A Study in Authoring, Compiling, and Editing Texts in the Tibetan Revelatory Tradition
Authors: Cantwell Cathy
Published: December 2022

It is often assumed that a revelation must be new and innovative, and that the point of a new sacred text must be to revitalize the heritage. Yet, in the Tibetan Nyingma Treasure Revelatory tradition, the ongoing vitality of textual production often has more to do with the fresh blessings rather than altogether novel content. This book is the first to analyse precise continuities and changes in comparing the new and the old, considering examples of the creation and development of tantric revelations, including further reworkings in subsequent generations. In doing so, the focus enlarges to encompass materials from the broader religious heritage, as well as from specific lineages of related visionary lamas. By identifying such exact linkages and departures, it is possible to answer questions both of how and why developments may occur, not limiting the purview merely to the individual stories of the virtuoso lamas producing the books, but looking also to the tantric communities of which they are a part. The case studies in the book stem from the prolific writings of the famous twentieth-century scholar-lama Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje Rinpoche, who contributed to numerous revelatory traditions of the past, as well as producing his own revelations. They concern a single tantric deity, Vajrakīlaya, the most popular Nyingma deity, whose tantras and ritual practices stem from the earliest formulations of Tibetan tantric Buddhism, and who is closely connected with the culture heros and founding fathers of the Nyingmapa. This particular focus gives us the opportunity to discover patterns in the creation of new tantric texts which have significance beyond the specific examples.
Między piosenką poetycką a poezją śpiewaną – twórczość Mirosława Czyżykiewicza w perspektywie genologicznej
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Polska, Brucki Szymon
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is an attempt to classify the works of Mirosław Czyżykiewicz – an outstanding guitarist, composer and vocalist, one of the most valued performers of poetic song and sung poetry in Poland; and to question the validity of the division into the above-mentioned genres existing in the scientific discourse. As it turns out, the bard’s original work eludes the previously known typology, according to which both these varieties of song are treated as separate verbal and musical phenomena. Meanwhile, their far-reaching similarity, or rather the lack of clearly identifiable differences, do not allow us to think of them as completely different genres.

Vitamin D Supplementation of 7–8 Years Old Children from Different Geographical Areas (48–52° North Latitude): Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Senkevich Olga A. , Chernobrovkina Maria A. , Kovalsky Yuri G.
Published: December 2022

Background. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children by their geographic latitude of residence requires follow-up study. This is crucial for implementation of preventive measures that can reduce the risk of developing pathological conditions associated with vitamin D deficiency.

Objective. The aim of the study is to study the vitamin D supplementation of 7–8 years old children living in different geographical latitudes of one subject of Russian Federation.

Methods. The study included relatively healthy children living in three geographical areas (northern — 52°, central — 50°, southern — 48°) of one region (Khabarovsk Krai). Vitamin D supplementation was evaluated by 25(OH)D serum concentration via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Vitamin D insufficiency was diagnosed at 25(OH)D concentration of 21–30 ng/ml, deficiency — 10–20 ng/ml, severe deficiency — < 10 ng/ml; optimal 25(OH)D concentration was considered as 30–100 ng/ml.

Results. The increase in prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency has been revealed with gradual increase from southern (57%) to central (73%) and northern (83%) geographic areas in 7–8 years old children living in the same region. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency (25(OH)D  30 ng/mL) among children living in the northern geographic area was greater by 3.8-fold (95% confidence interval 1.2–12.7) then among peers living in the southern areas.

Conclusion. One factor affecting 25(OH)D serum concentration in children of this region is the insolation level determined by the geographical latitude of residence. The 4°N difference is significant in determining vitamin D status in residents of relatively high latitudes. Further studies of factors associated with 25(OH)D concentration in children living in different latitudes are required (insolation level, number of sunny days per year, food and household characteristics in families).
