Authors: Fan Tengwen , Chen Yuan , Li Song , Wang Ye , Shu Hua , zhao Jingjing
Published: January 2023

This paper examines the phonemic awareness among young Chinese children through two studies. Study 1 implemented a cross-sectional design with 120 children (4-6 years old) to explore the developmental level of phonemic awareness. Study 2 monitored the longitudinal development of 127 kindergarten students in a similar age period and further fathomed the longitudinal relation between phonemic awareness and character reading ability. At 4-5 years old, performance on dynamic phoneme deletion task was significant, suggesting that phonemic awareness has already developed in preschool Chinese children and could be detected by dynamic phoneme deletion task. Children’s variance in character recognition was best explained by dynamic phoneme deletion, highlighting the importance of phonemic awareness for early character acquisition in young Chinese children. These findings have important implications for Chinese reading acquisition.
Evaluating Causal Psychological Models: A Study of Imitation Theories of Autism Using a Large Sample
Authors: Tang Bohao , Wodka Ericka , Caffo Brian , Ewen Joshua
Published: January 2023

We used a large convenience sample (n=22,228) from the Simons Powering Autism Research (SPARK) dataset to causal, explanatory theories of autism positing a key role of imitation ability within the same, large sample. We used a highly theory-constrained approach, formalizing statistical models based on the proposals of Ornitz & Ritvo (1968), Rogers & Pennington (1991) and Mostofsky & Ewen (2011). Results disconfirmatory for the accounts of Rogers & Pennington and Mostofsky & Ewen, however limitations of the convenience sample affected the strength of the inference. While the results did not disconfirm the tested portions of Ornitz & Ritvo’s model linking sensory-motor function with social engagement and language, they did entail that other mechanisms must also be in play.

Authors: Hareera M.N.F.Z  , Wijesekara G.U.S.  , Bandara E.M.S.
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Garlic (Allium sativum, Family: Amaryllidaceae) is a seasoning plant cultivated all over the world. Garlic contains a lot of bioactive compounds including organosulfur compounds, saponins, phenolic compounds, and polysaccharides. Anticoagulant activity is one of the pharmacological properties of Garlic. The aim of this study was to review the mechanism of the anticoagulant activity of garlic and summarise the potential evidence about the anticoagulant activity of garlic from past studies. Method: Literature searches were conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar databases. 44 full articles were reviewed in detail in this study. The findings were reviewed and potential evidence for the anticoagulant mechanisms of garlic was summarised. Results: Organosulfur compounds in garlic play a major role in the anticoagulant property of garlic. Garlic exhibits anticoagulant activity mainly through three mechanisms. Those are inhibiting platelet aggregation, retarding thrombin formation, and promoting fibrinolysis. The anticoagulant activity of garlic is proven by several human, animal and in-vitro studies. Garlic significantly inhibits adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine induced platelet aggregation in healthy subjects. Garlic administration inhibit the thrombus formation in rats. Aqueous and methanolic extracts of garlic prolong prothrombin time. Extension in clotting time is reported with increasing concentrations of garlic extract. Conclusions: Garlic has been reported as a medicinal plant showing anticoagulant activity by resisting platelet aggregation, inhibiting thrombin formation and enhancing fibrinolysis and this study suggests that garlic reduces the risk of thrombosis therefore cardiovascular complications.

THE IMPACT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION ON THE FORMATION OF THE HEALTH CULTURE OF STUDENTS
Authors: Boyko G. L. , Kozlova T. G. , Sharafutdinova S.
Published: January 2023

The article examines the influence of physical education on the formation of a culture of health among students. After all, at present, the crisis of the state system of physical education has turned into a number of negative consequences for society, among which we can single out a decrease in the level of health of different age groups of the population, especially young people. This fact is of particular importance, since the state of health of education seekers is the most important indicator of the vitality of the people of any country. In view of the fact that the health of students of education deteriorates in the process of education, it is necessary to clarify the idea of the relationship between the two concepts «culture» and «health» in order to orientate in the concept of "personal health culture" and subsequently define the essence of the health culture of modern youth.

Appreciating the importance of research devoted to the problem of preserving the health of the younger generation, we at the same time emphasize that it requires further research in various directions. In particular, there is an acute problem of forming the readiness (needs, abilities and determination) of children and adolescents to consciously follow a healthy lifestyle. The possibility of physical education in forming a culture of attitude to one's health, and to health as physical, but also mental and moral-spiritual, has not been definitively revealed.

Some researchers limit the physical education of students to only physical education lessons, despite the fact that physical education lessons even fulfill the needs of children in the necessary amount of their motor activity.
THE INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPLIED PHYSICAL QUALITIES IN STUDENTS OF NON-PHYSICAL SPECIALTIES
Authors: Golubeva V. , Martinov Yu. , Nazymok V.
Published: January 2023

The article discusses approaches to the development of key physical qualities of students not majoring in physical education. It was revealed that one of the main components of student training in institutions of higher education is the development of applied physical qualities necessary for future work, which contributes to the formation of the necessary physical and mental qualities, motor skills in relation to the profile of the future profession. A student's physical and mental performance have a common physiological basis of support systems that are interconnected. Therefore, a low level of physical fitness can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of assimilation of training programs in the specialty, and in the future - on the possibility of being a capable specialist.

The reform in education places high demands on the physical training of future specialists. From the point of view of the peculiarities of physical activity, it makes sense to consider two directions: direct manipulation or operations on the patient's body and purely intellectual activity related to the clarification of the clinical situation, the choice of diagnostic and treatment tactics. However, in everyday activities it is often difficult to separate manual and intellectual activities.

Therefore, any specialty requires such qualities as the mobility of nervous processes; coordination of movements and muscle efforts; the ability to withstand long-term stress, the body's resistance to adverse environmental influences; emotional stability and will, concentration of attention, self-control, determination, stability.

Authors: Kvasnytsya O. M.
Published: January 2023

The present article analyzes the results of pedagogical survey and contrastive analysis of competition activity among national teams participating in Rugby-15 Championship 2022 season. It should be noted that the analysis of indices of competition activity at the championship using provided data will help supplement, expand, and substantiate current knowledge in the issue discussed. Indices of competition activity of rugby teams officially approved by the International Rugby Board, IRB were used in our research. Namely, the paper focuses on indices of standard (scrums and line-outs) and semi-standard plays (rucks, mauls) of New Zealand, South African Republic, Argentina, Australia national teams.

By the results of analysis of statistical data, it has been revealed that players of national team New Zealand prevailed over their opponents by indices of competition activity, successful scrums and line-outs; players of national teams South African Republic slightly prevailed by indices of rucks and mauls. However, by the most important index as assumed by us, namely the number of successful tackles of ball carrier, team New Zealand also prevailed.

Having analyzed the indices of competition activity, namely standard and semi-standard plays in Championship 2022 season we may state that rugby players of national team New Zealand prevail in three out of five indices of competition activity in rugby-15: more successful than other in scrums (87.5%); more successful on line-outs (88.5%); led by the important index of competition activity – tackling of a ball carrier (88.6%). At the same time, the best percentage of successful rucks and mauls was shown by players of South African Republic (94% and 92.3% respectively). According to this, better results of competition activity indices of national team New Zealand undoubtedly influenced on final general result at the aforementioned Championship.
Influence of special power loads on the performance of the main muscle groups of young powerlifters of various qualifications

Published: January 2023

The article presents that the data obtained in the course of the study give an idea of the level of development of the strength of the main muscle groups under the influence of special loads of powerlifters of various sports qualifications. Before modern science and practice of sports training in strength sports there are many problems: the rational distribution of power loads, the development of physical qualities, the increase in the functional reserves of the body, and others that are multifaceted and are solved in a complex way using pedagogical, psychological, medical and biological criteria for their evaluation. The task of the study is to determine the recovery time of power indicators of powerlifters of various sports qualifications after a directed power load and to identify the dynamics of muscle strength development in powerlifters before and after a power load. For powerlifters, extensor muscle strength is preferred. Powerful strength exercises and static efforts when performing competitive powerlifting exercises place great demands on muscle strength and static endurance. The return to the initial data of the strength of different muscle groups of powerlifters after a directed power load is not the same. Regardless of the level of sports qualification, the muscles of the trunk have the longest recovery time. The magnitude of the load in powerlifting is largely limited by the time required to restore the predominantly neuromuscular apparatus after strenuous exercise and heavy loads. Recovery of functions after exercise is characterized by a number of significant features that determine not only the recovery process, but also the hereditary relationship with previous and subsequent muscle activity, the degree of readiness to perform repeated work. The introduction of practical recommendations on the use of power loads for powerlifters into the educational process has made it possible to significantly improve the results of the power abilities of athletes of various sports qualifications.

Leadership Practices among Islamic Private Secondary School Principals in Southern Thailand: Validating a Model of Strategic Educational Leadership
Authors: Chehdimae Hamdan , Mohd Ali Hairuddin
Published: December 2022

This study explored the levels of strategic educational leadership practices (PSELP) among the principals of 92 Islamic private secondary schools (IPSS) in Southern Thailand as perceived by teachers at the schools. It also sought to validate and confirm a hypothesized structural equation model of PSELP based on the data provided by 918 IPSS teachers from the districts of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat. The survey instrument was a seven-point PSELP scale with 44 items adapted from five previous studies. Descriptive statistics (i.e., means and standard deviations) were used to summarize the perceived levels of PSELP in nine aspects or domains. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied on the data to test the adequacy of the proposed PSELP model. The results showed that the teachers had the perception that their principals effectively practiced all five factors of strategic educational leadership and exhibited the four characteristics of strategic leaders. This discovery contradicted previous findings that school principals’ leadership practices were low or inadequate. The CFA results established the proposed nine-factor model of IPSS principals’ strategic educational leadership practices as valid and reliable, confirming the presence of strategic orientation, strategic alignment, strategic intervention, strategic translation, strategic intervention, restlessness, absorptive capacity, adaptive capacity, and leadership wisdom in the model. The findings have raised a new concern, that is, if the principals of the IPSS have actively and extensively been practicing strategic leadership, what then could be the causes of the poor performance of the IPSS in Southern Thailand? This concern has paved new directions for future research involving the quality of Islamic schools in the region.
Health Beliefs and Willingness to Engage in T2D Preventive Behaviours Among Malay Youth: A Qualitative Inquiry
Authors: Asraf Ratnawati Mohd , Hanah Atiqah , Supian Nadya
Published: December 2022

Due to sedentariness and poor diet and nutrition, the youth of today are increasingly exposed to early-onset Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Malaysian youth are particularly at risk for T2D since Malaysia has the highest prevalence of obesity among its young population in Asia. Our concern led us to the conduct of this study, which was aimed at discovering what sixteen young Malaysian undergraduates knew about T2D, their health beliefs, and their perspectives on T2D and lifestyles. The study also sought to ascertain if the youth would be willing to engage in T2D prevention behaviours to ward off the onset of the disease. The results of the study would help to inform us of the beliefs that other Malaysian youth may have on this issue and also of the possible content that we could propose for Diabetes Awareness Programmes aimed at Malaysian youth. The interview questions were based on the six constructs of the Health Belief Model (Abraham & Sheeran, 2014) and a written interview was conducted via email with the 16 undergraduates. The data, analysed thematically, produced seven themes. We found that the participants generally lacked proper knowledge of and are confused between types of diabetes. Nonetheless, they expressed a willingness to alter their lifestyles to incorporate healthier habits and a more nutritional diet, but were deterred by family attitude, social norms, and social media influence. We recommend two urgent actions. First, an awareness programme to enhance youth’s knowledge of T2D to showcase its gravity and consequences. Second, educating the public, especially families, on rendering support to youth who wish to live a healthier, diabetes[1]free life.
“ALTIN BÜLBÜL” MASALININ JUNG’UN ARKETİPSEL SEMBOLİZM KURAMI BAĞLAMINDA İNCELENMESİ
Authors: TÜRKAN Hüseyin Kürşat
Published: December 2022

Edebî metinlerin içerik yönünden incelenmesinde “arketip” kavramı dikkat çeker. “Arketip”, C. Gustav Jung tarafından ortaya konulan ve “kolektif bilinçdışı”nın insanlık âlemindeki yansımalarını karşılayan bir kavramdır. Jung, bilinçdışını kişisel bilinçdışı ve kollektif bilinçdışı olarak ikiye ayırır. Arketipler ise bu kollektif bilinçdışının temel unsurlarıdır. Kollektif bilinçdışı ile insanların doğuştan gelen fakat farkında olmadıkları her türlü (kaygı, korku, utanç, kibir vs.) duygusal olguların varlığı kastedilir. Buna zıt olarak kişisel bilinçdışı ise insanların kişisel yaşamlarında tecrübe ettikleri ve o tecrübelerden etkilenerek vuku bulan davranışlar kastedilir. Kollektif bilinçdışı geneli kapsarken kişisel bilinçdışı daha özeli kapsar. Jung’ın arketip kavramı da bu noktada devreye girer. Jung’un “Arketipsel Sembolizm” olarak adlandırdığı kuramda; mit, masal, hikâye vb. anlatıların -içeriksel bağlamda- insanlığın ortak değer ve tutumlarına gizli olarak yer verdiği belirtilir. Bu gizli değer ve tutumların her biri bir arketiptir. Arketipler, ilkel insan ile modern insanın buluşma noktasıdır. Birçok arketip olmakla birlikte Jung’un daha çok “Gölge”, “Yüce Birey”, “Persona”, “Anima/Animus” “İç/Tüm Benlik” gibi arketipler üzerinde durduğu görülür. Söz konusu arketipler, Joseph Campell’ın “ayrılma-erginlenme-dönüş” çizgisinde daha geniş ve ayrıntılı olarak sistemleşmiştir. Campell, Jung’un arketiplerini bu çizgide incelemiş ve örneklerle yorumlamıştır. Edebi eserler, estetik ve ruhsal zevkin dışavurumu olduğu gibi aynı zamanda ortak bilinçdışının imgesel yorumlarıdır. Masallar da bunlardan biridir. İçeriğinde birçok arketipsel unsur bulundurur. Bu arketiplerin tespit edilerek çözümlenmesi; insanlığın ortak değer ve tutumlarının, inanç ve yargılarının belirlenmesi bakımından önemlidir. Makalede, Nedim Bakırcı’nın “Niğde Masalları” adlı eserindeki 50 masal metni taranmıştır. “Altın Bülbül” masalı seçilmiş ve masal, arketipsel sembolizm bağlamında incelenerek çözümlenmiştir.

TÜRK-İRAN MİTOLOJİ VE İNANIŞLARINDA DÜALİST VARLIK ANLAYIŞI
Authors: ÖZKAN Murat Sultan
Published: December 2022

Göktürk yazıtlarında yer, gök ve insanın Gök Tanrı tarafından yaratıldığı ima edilmektedir. Yazıtlarda tanrıça Umay’a ve kutsal yer-sulara da yer verilmekte, onlardan da yardım istendiği belirtilmektedir. Türk mitolojisinde evrenin doğumu ve insanın yaratılışı açıklanmaktadır. Bazı mitolojik derlemelerde tanrıların doğumuna da yer verilmektedir. Mitolojik anlatılardaki evren tasavvuru Oğuz Kağan destanındaki anlatılarla da örtüşmektedir. Türklere göre tanrılar ve ilk maddi unsurlar öncesizdir. Bu öncesiz unsurlar su, toprak, kaya ve tohumlar olarak belirtilmektedir. Gök Tanrı, bu öncesiz unsurları kullanarak evrende iyi olanları ve kötülüğün temsilcisi Erlik’i yaratmıştır. Kötülüğün kaynağı ve yaratıcısı ise Erlik’tir. Türk mitolojisine göre her varlık tinsel ve maddi unsurlardan oluştuğu gibi insan da ruh ve bedenden müteşekkil bir varlıktır. Zerdüştlüğün varlık anlayışı Türk varlık anlayışıyla paralellik taşımaktadır. Zerdüştlükte varlıklar önce tinsel olarak yaratılmış daha sonraki devirlerde maddi olarak yaratılmışlardır. Türk ve İran varlık anlayışında hem ontolojik hem de etik düalite vardır. Zerdüştlükte iyi olan şeyleri yaratıcı Ahuramazda, kötülüğün kaynağı ve yaratıcısı ise Ehrimen’dir. Böylece iki düşünce sisteminde de kötülüğün kaynağı negatif güçler olduğundan kötülük problemi de ortadan kalkmaktadır. Yaratıcı güçlerin düalist olmasının yanında evrende de bir düalitenin olduğu belirtilmektedir. Var olan her şey soyut olan tinsellik ve somut olan maddenin birlikteliğiyle var olmaktadır. Bu düalite insan için de geçerlidir ve insan da ruh ve bedenden müteşekkil bir varlıktır.

The work is devoted to topical issues of theoretical research of scientific approaches to interpreting the concepts of "export potential" and "logistics potential". The purpose of the article is the research and systematization of theoretical approaches to the content of the above concepts, as well as the scientific substantiation of the essence of the "export-logistics potential" category. The research uses general scientific and unique methods: inductive and deductive - to justify approaches to determining the essence of export and logistics potential concepts; comparative - to outline the typical characteristics of the studied images within the framework of resource and system approaches; graphic - for a visual representation of the "export and logistics potential" definition; abstract and logical - for generalization and formation of conclusions. The author's interpretation of the essence of "export and logistics potential" is proposed, under which it is appropriate to understand the component of the production and economic potential of the state, which affects the formation of the national economy structure, determining its profile and degree of involvement in the system of foreign economic relations and global logistics networks. It has been studied that the export-logistics potential ensures efficient trade, which meets international standards and minimizes emissions into the environment. It has been established that the formation of the export-logistics potential is a complex, dynamic process aimed at interacting with the external environment and ensuring high quality of export products selling. It was established that the export-logistics potential provides efficient export goods traffic, associated with minimal expenditure of time and financial resources, as well as analytical transport support that meets international standards and minimizes harmful environmental emissions. It is substantiated that the export-logistics potential is characterized by the presence of hierarchical levels: micro- (enterprises), meso- (region), macro- (state), and mega-levels (international level).

Introduction. The identification of the interdependent development of society and business contributed to the introduction of corporate social responsibility in entrepreneurship as a guarantee of obtaining from its activity not only an economic effect but also the stimulation of social and environmental development. After all, the development of society requires constant changes in the consumption of various types of goods and services under the condition of a safe level of ecology and agriculture as the basis of food security in society, which necessitates the stimulation of productive activities of corporate social responsibility in agrarian business and its serving industries.
Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is an analysis of the strategic development of international corporate social responsibility in agribusiness. The main tasks are: to investigate the modern strategic directions of the development of corporate social responsibility, focusing on agrarian businesses, to identify problems and find resources to overcome them.
Results. Strategies for the development of corporate social responsibility in business are generally formed in relation to the goals and directions of the development of business activity and aim, as a final result, to increase the level of development of business activity, society, and preservation and protection of the environment. Social, ecological, economic, intra-economic, and external strategic directions of CSR influence have been identified, with implementation carried out directly by enterprise employees or with the assistance of interested participants, or "stakeholders." An analysis of CSR business strategies was carried out with the aim of forming the optimal option for obtaining mutual benefits for all interested parties. It was determined that the relevant strategies do not have permanence and need improvement, correction, and adaptation in accordance with evolutionary changes in the development of society.
Conclusions. The process of implementing CSR in business has a long-term nature and requires determining the optimal relationship between the chosen areas of social responsibility development in combination with the economic activity of business structures. The main directions of CSR development in agribusiness are assistance and promotion of the development and motivation of labor personnel; introduction of waste-free economic production; maintenance of relationships with clients; brand distribution; and environmental protection. The international direction of CSR is oriented in the direction of "green activity," affecting the reduction of the level of poverty and inequality.

Organizmalar yaşamlarını devam ettirebilmek için abiyotik çevresel koşullara uyum sağlarlar. Özellikle ortam sıcaklığındaki değişimler; canlıların beslenme, üreme, gelişim ve morfolojileri üzerinde etkilidir. Sıra dışı sıcaklık değişimleri özellikle ektotermik hayvanlar için ölümcül olabilir. Karasal ektotermler. doğada donma noktasının altındaki sıcaklıklarda hayatta kalabilmek için davranışsal, fizyolojik ve biyokimyasal bazı özel stratejiler geliştirmişlerdir. Bazı türler göç ederek su ya da toprak altında kış uykusuna yatmak suretiyle dondurucu sıcaklıklardan kaçınırlar. Bazıları ise donma koşullarına maruz kalarak kışı geçirmek zorundadırlar. Genel olarak dondurucu soğuğa dayanıklılık donmadan kaçınma (süper soğuma) ve donma toleransı stratejilerine bağlıdır. Donmadan kaçınma durumunda vücut sıvılarının donma noktasının altındaki sıcaklıklarda sıvı formu korunurken donma toleransı stratejisini kullanan canlılarda ise vücutlarındaki toplam suyun %50’sinden fazlasının donması tolere edilebilir. Karasal hibernatör hayvanlardan bazı amfibi ve sürüngen gruplarında da tespit edilen donma toleransı stratejisi onların dondurucu kış koşullarında hayatta kalmalarını sağlamaktadır. Bu özel türler kriyoprotektif mekanizmaları ile donmanın ölümcül etkilerinden korunurlar. Donma süresince yaşamsal faaliyetleri tamamen duran bu hayvanlar çözündükten sonra kısa bir süre içerisinde de normal yaşama dönerler. Bu mucizevi mekanizmanın araştırılması yalnızca hayvanların karmaşık adaptasyonunu açıklamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda doku ve hücre kriyoprezervasyon teknolojisine de kaynak sağlar. Bu derleme amfibilerin donma toleransı stratejilerine dair bilgiler sunarak henüz yeterince çalışılmamış bu konuda araştırma yapmak isteyenlere katkı sağlayacaktır.

Potensi energi alternatif salah satunya adalah limbah biomassa tongkol jagung yang dihasilkan dari aktivitas produksi pertanian yang jumlahnya sangat besar. Tongkol jagung memiliki nilai kalor sebesar 4059.853 kal/gr sehingga semakin banyaknya tongkol jagung yang digunakan akan mempercepat proses pembakaran. Akan tetapi proses pembakaran yang dilakukan harus dibantu oleh serbuk kayu kering sebagai pemantik bagi api. Kayu kering yang memiliki nilai kalor lebih besar dari tongkol jagung akan terbakar lebih cepat dan membantu membakar tongkol jagung. Hasil dari nyala lampu terdapat pada massa tongkol jagung 400gr dengan variasi volume air 250ml menyala redup selama 1 menit. Pada massa 500gr lampu menyala redup selama 1 menit pada variasi volume air 150ml dan 200ml. Sedangkan lampu menyala terang selama 20 detik pada variasi 250ml air. Hal ini juga membuktikan bahwa banyaknya volume air yang digunakan dapat mempengaruhi nyala lampu.

The adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare variant accounting for only 1-4% of all primary gallbladder carcinoma. Regardless of the histological types, all gallbladder carcinomas have silent and rapid progression resulting in delayed diagnosis and poor prognosis. Even with medical and/or surgical interventions, the median survival of patients with adenosquamous carcinoma, one of the histological variants, is less than a year. However, we present a case of adenosquamous carcinoma with an unusually better prognosis. A 70-year-old female patient, after being diagnosed with gallbladder carcinoma was suggested for surgical resection but was lost to follow-up since then. Two years later, the patient presented and was managed with extended cholecystectomy. The slow progression and non-recurrence of the tumour during follow-up for two years after the surgery indicates a better prognosis in this case.

Strongyloidiasis, a parasitic infestation by Strongyloides stercoralis, involves the gastrointestinal tract with a spectrum from duodenitis to enterocolitis. However, gastric involvement with the manifestation of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is an extremely rare condition due to Strongyloides stercoralis. Due to irregular excretion of larvae, unclear symptoms, paucity of effective diagnostic tools and low parasitic load, makes clinicians difficult to reach the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis. Here, we present a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a large gastric ulcer whose aetiology was identified to be Strongyloides stercoralis infection of the gastric region by the diagnosis of exclusion.
