The influence of a microbial inoculant Europlus®, containing AM fungi (Glomus sp.) and beneficial
rhizobacteria (Bacillus sp.), on the concentration of micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) in the aboveground biomass and roots of six garden pea genotypes was studied. The experiment was conducted
under field conditions in the Maritsa Vegetable Crop Research Institute on Alluvial-meadow soil.
It was found that the microbial inoculant had a weak effect on the agrochemical properties of the
soil. The combined inoculation increased the concentration of Fe in the aboveground biomass of
most genotypes by 2.4%-22.9%. The increase of iron in the roots was by 4.4%-12.6%. Application
of combined inoculant, in some cases, increased the Mn concentration in the aboveground biomass
of genotypes - by 9.3%-35.7% compared to the controls. This was associated with an increased in
Zn concentrations (+2.1%-64.9%) and Cu concentrations (+5.2%-20.2%) in aboveground biomass of
inoculated genotypes. Microbial inoculant application increased root Mn, Zn and Cu concentrations
by 4.8%-35.1%, 5.3%-20.8% and 3.3%-24.4%, respectively, compared to non-inoculated controls.
The response of the individual pea genotypes to the formation of symbiosis with AM fungi was
different. The bioinoculant increased root colonization rates with AM fungi by over 7% on average.
A correlation was recorded only with Fe concentrations.
The genotype factor had a greater effect on the micronutrient concentrations in pea samples. Inoculation with AM fungi and beneficial rhizobacteria had a weaker effect, but it was also statistically
significant in terms of the concentration of Fe, Mn and Zn in aboveground biomass and roots.
Hierarchical cluster analysis classified the aboveground samples of pea genotypes from the
inoculated and non-inoculated treatments into two main clusters based on the concentration of micronutrients. The 12 root samples were divided into 3 groups.

Published: December 2024

The use of electric vehicles (cars, motorcycles, scooters, trucks, buses) in the cities is an essential component so that cities can be considered smart cities. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for the Electric School Bus Routing Problem which aims to minimise costs and optimise transportation times and cost of the students. We propose a Genetic Algorithm with a pre-Selection Operator, Tournament Selection Operator, Crossover-K Operator, and Mutation-S Operator to solve the Electric School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP).

Published: December 2024

The picking problem is part of the item picking problem in a warehouse for a given order and is the most expensive in the process; Optimizing the item collection time is essential because it is a bottleneck in the service rate of orders fulfilled and has a significant impact on the efficiency of the supply chain. This work proposes a strategy to reduce the picking time by minimizing the route using  a genetic algorithm; a comparison is performed with other heuristic strategies in warehouses with different morphologies and considering orders of different sizes.
Personal Course Timetabling for University Students based on Genetic Algorithm
Authors: González López Brenda Sunuami , García Hernández René Arnulfo , Ledeneva Yulia
Published: December 2024

This paper presents the optimization problem of generating a Personal University Course Timetabling (PUCT) for students from a Published Course Catalog (PCC) and an evolutionary approach to solve it. A PPC is a result of a manual or automatic process of a university course timetabling system to assign classes to times and spaces, considering constraints and preferences. However, independently of how the PPC was created, each university student faces particular constraints to select its timetable's courses. Due to the complexity of generating the timetable manually, several students were currently not considered a better option. In this paper, we present a method based on a genetic algorithm that considers the constraints and preferences presented by students at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico for generating a PUCT. According to experimentation with a ground truth dataset, the proposed method not only shows better quantitative results than manual generation of the timetable but also shows good qualitative results based on the evaluation of the students.
Critical Insights into Ethnic Minority Education Policies in the People's Republic of China: A Study of the Dai Language Curriculum
Authors: Yang Jianlin , Saenghong Nannaphat , Nawarat Nongyao , Leepreecha Prasit
Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the implementation of the Dai language curriculum within a culturally diverse school setting in Xishuangbanna, China. Employing a qualitative research methodology, including semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis, the study examines three key aspects: curriculum implementation, diverse perspectives, and the influence of Chinese Preferential Policies (CPPs). Originating from a 2017 directive by the Xishuangbanna Office of Education emphasizing bilingual education in Dai and Chinese Mandarin, the curriculum's inception and execution are analyzed. After conducting interviews and observations with various stakeholders, including Dai and non-Dai students, educators, parents, and community leaders, we discovered that Dai students have a strong connection to their cultural heritage. Moreover, non-Dai students are interested in exploring their own languages and cultures. Additionally, the study highlights the significant influence of CPPs on curriculum implementation, underscoring its role in facilitating development and community engagement. However, the paper argues that while CPPs-driven language education may benefit dominant ethnic groups, it may inadvertently hinder cultural inclusion for non-dominant groups within the educational framework. This paper contributes nuanced insights into the complexities surrounding the implementation of ethnic language curricula in culturally diverse educational settings, shedding light on both opportunities and challenges inherent in CPPs-driven educational policies.

CURRENT ISSUES OF EVACUATION PLANNING
Authors: Matevosyan Hamlet , Gharibyan Haykandukht
Published: December 2024

The article considers a number of definitions of the term evacuation, population protection and civil defense in emergency situations, as the main measures, in emergency situations, and substantiates the fact that evacuation planning is a complex process, as well as the existence of a number of plans for the same phenomenon with their own characteristics. The basis for identifying the characteristics are the type of threat affecting, the evacuation period, the duration of stay in a safe place, the strata and number of the evacuated population, etc. Such an analysis shows that evacuation planning cannot be carried out using a single model plan, since it is a complex process, and the planning of the evacuation process should be carried out according to the type of danger.
DANGEROUS INFLUENCE OF TOXIC FINE PARTICLES IN THE ATMOSPHERIC
AIR ON THE HUMAN BODY
Authors: Grigoryan Samvel , Voskanyan Venera , Petrosyan Neda
Published: December 2024

There are many different particles in the city air: small and large, light and heavy. Only heavy particles “fall ” to the ground over time, while light particles practically do not settle. It is more difficult for small particles to overcome the resistance of the medium and “fall” to the ground. And for the smallest particles, resistance is also provided by the Brunian motion (Robert Brown). Tiny, invisible PM25 particles in the air penetrate deep into our lungs and bloodstream. These pollutants are responsible for about a third of deaths from stroke, chronic respiratory disease, asthma, allergies, bipolar disorder, depression and lung cancer, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke, and more. For the so-called ultra-fine particles PM 0.1 (with a diameter of up to 0.1 pm), Brownian motion completely prevails over the settling rate. Therefore, this smallest fraction of particles may never settle at all.
Unilateral Sanctions in the Procedure of International Criminal Courts With Emphasis on the Case of Venezuela 2
Authors: Najafi Aliasghar , Kaviyani Mobarakeh Ershad
Published: December 2024

As long as the sanctioning country observes international standards and general legal principles, including the principle of humanity, proportionality and necessity, and uses this tool to deal with the violation of the target state, that behavior is legitimate. In other words, it should not have such a degree that prevents people from their life, fundamental and human rights. In the case of Venezuela 2, as the first case in the international criminal courts, with the presumption of crime and the illegitimacy of sanctions, the behavior is in a non-member country by people who are in the country with non-member citizenship, and the only result is the crime in the member country. . Therefore, with the narrow interpretation of the statute of the Court and the silence in this regard, the matter is outside the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Unless persons other than the heads of the United States of America and with the citizenship of a member state are accused. Even though the Venezuelan government considers unilateral sanctions as a crime against humanity, it seems that the material element of the crime is violated, and according to the history of the constitution, the governments have not been willing to accept this behavior as a crime against humanity.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The sense of school belonging is a type of psychological need that has been confirmed to have positive psychological outcomes and supports the positive functioning of students in learning environments. Therefore, identifying individual and motivational factors that affect this sense is important. This study aimed to develop a structural model of school belonging based on academic identity, with the mediating role of students' academic engagement.

Methods and Materials: This correlational study utilized structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all female high school students in Khorramabad during the 2023-2024 academic year. Among them, 800 students were selected through multistage cluster sampling. They were then evaluated using the School Belonging Questionnaire (Barry et al., 2004), Academic Identity Scales (Vaz & Isakson, 2008), and Academic Engagement Scale (Reeve, 2013). Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis.

Findings: A positive and direct relationship was found between successful academic identity and academic engagement with school belonging, while a confused academic identity had a direct and negative relationship with school belonging (P<0.001). Successful and follower academic identities had a positive and direct relationship with academic engagement; confused and delayed academic identities had a direct and negative relationship with academic engagement (P<0.001). Academic engagement mediated the relationship between academic identity and school belonging. The overall model fit indices also indicated that the proposed model had a good fit.

Conclusion: Based on the study's findings, it can be concluded that students' academic identity and academic engagement contribute to their sense of school belonging.

A Comparative Study on the Effectiveness of Rhythmic Stabilization Technique (PNF) and Conventional Physiotherapy in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
Authors: Kalunke Dr. Ankita
Published: December 2024

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee presents with pain, joint difficulty, reduced range of motion (ROM), and impaired proprioceptive accuracy, impacting the quality of life for affected individuals. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques have emerged as interventions to address muscle flexibility, pain, and ROM in OA. Recent research has highlighted impaired proprioceptive accuracy as a contributing factor in the onset and progression of knee OA. Rhythmic stabilization, a component of PNF, targets mechanoreceptor stimulation, offering promise in alleviating OA symptoms.
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of rhythmic stabilization PNF with conventional physiotherapy in managing knee OA. Thirty-six participants aged 40-60 were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A received rhythmic stabilization PNF, while Group B received conventional physiotherapy. Outcome measures included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain assessment. Results indicated significant pain reduction, increased flexibility, and improved functional mobility in both groups post-treatment. However, the rhythmic stabilization PNF group demonstrated superior outcomes compared to conventional physiotherapy alone. This suggests that rhythmic stabilization PNF is more effective in reducing pain, enhancing flexibility, and promoting functional independence in Grade 2-3 knee OA. These findings underscore the potential of incorporating rhythmic stabilization PNF into OA management protocols to optimize patient outcomes

Verdant Sanctuaries: Cultivating Flora through Biodegradable Pet Interment Pod Capsules
Authors: Zeneth H Janapin , Paul Vincent Bartolome , John Michael Narra , April Macanet , Louis G Lazaro Dr. Bryan
Published: December 2024

This study explores the development and evaluation of biodegradable burial pods for pets made from starch-based materials and plant fibers, primarily coconut coir. The aim is to create a product that respects the memories of cherished pets while promoting environmental sustainability. The research focuses on two experimental products with varying coconut coir concentrations—50% (Product A) and 75% (Product B)—to assess their tensile strength and biodegradability in different environmental conditions. Product A demonstrated higher biodegradability, breaking down rapidly within 10 days, but lacked sufficient tensile strength for long-term burial stability. In contrast, Product B exhibited superior strength, enduring significantly higher loads before failure, but decomposed more slowly. The study also considers the environmental implications of using coconut coir, a renewable material that repurposes agricultural waste, compared to traditional synthetic polymers. The findings highlight the trade-off between biodegradability and strength, suggesting that a balanced approach, such as the use of 75% coconut coir, optimizes both structural integrity and ecological impact. This research contributes to the development of sustainable pet burial alternatives, offering insights into material selection for applications requiring both durability and environmental compatibility.
The Impact of Influencers on Adolescent Behavior: Study of Attitudes and Decision-Making
Authors: John R Hibaya Mcbjay , Jenaira A Samartino , Francis Torres , Ronan Narra , Louis G Lazaro Bryan
Published: December 2024

This study examined the impact of social media influencers on the attitudes, values, and choices of 100 adolescents, addressing a gap in understanding adolescents' mental models regarding influencer content (Lajnef, 2023) [14]. A quantitative correlational design employing repeated measures ANOVA analyzed data from participants exhibiting diverse behaviors and decision-making patterns. The study utilized a survey instrument measuring perceptions across six dimensions: Intellectual, social, ethical, health, exposure to influencers, and decision-making. Results revealed a significant influencer impact (F(5, 95) = 17.69, p < .001, η²p = .15), demonstrating a large effect size on purchasing decisions, promotion of unhealthy lifestyles, and the shaping of attitudes and decision-making processes. This influence carries significant mental health implications, underscoring the need for critical thinking and media literacy skills. Post-hoc tests using Bonferroni correction revealed significant differences among the dimensions. Intellectual engagement was rated most positively, while ethical considerations elicited the most ambivalent responses. Specifically, participants perceived significant positive impacts on intellectual development and learning but expressed concerns about the ethical implications of influencer behavior and the potential for negative impacts on mental and physical health. Further research is needed to fully understand the underlying cognitive processes and long-term effects, considering cultural context and individual differences. The findings emphasize the urgent need for comprehensive media literacy programs, collaborative efforts among parents, educators, and policymakers, and the establishment of open dialogue platforms to promote healthy social media engagement and responsible decision-making among adolescents.

La enfermedad renal crónica se presenta cuando los riñones pierden la capacidad para eliminar el exceso de líquido, electrolitos y desechos en la sangre. La anemia es una patología común entre los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica, siendo la base de muchos de los síntomas relacionados con una función renal disminuida que se asocia con un aumento de mortalidad y hospitalizaciones. El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar anemia y enfermedad renal crónica en pacientes dializados que acuden a Metrodial Chone. El estudio presentó una metodología de enfoque cuantitativo, el tipo de estudio fue observacional, de diseño correlacional, retrospectivo y transversal. Como resultados, se obtuvieron 112 pacientes dializados por enfermedad renal crónica, en ellos se estudiaron valores de hemoglobina, donde el 84.4% presentaron niveles bajos dando como resultando anemia, además, con el perfil renal, urea, creatinina y BUN presentaron niveles elevados, mientras que los electrolitos, la mayoría presentó valores normales. Por último, se utilizó la prueba de spearman para correlacionar los niveles de hemoglobina con perfil renal y electrolitos, como resultado, se pudo observar que no se presentó relación entre las variables. Se concluyó que, la anemia es una enfermedad común en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica y están estrechamente relacionados por algunos mecanismos. Ocasionando que los niveles de hemoglobina se mantengan por debajo de lo normal. Sin embargo, la anemia no siempre presenta una relación en el perfil renal o con los electrolitos.

Authors: Öztürk Altınayak Serap , Velioğlu Elif
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between postpartum maternity blues and breastfeeding and the effect of maternity blues on breastfeeding.
Methods: This cross-sectional was conducted with 302 mothers who applied to Taşköprü State Hospital between May and December 2023 and met the research criteria. Data were collected using a “Sociodemographic Information Form”, the “Postpartum Maternity Blues Assessment Scale”, and the “Breastfeeding Attitude Scale”. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, as well as t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression were used. A significance level of p<.05 and a 95% confidence interval were applied in all statistical tests.
Results: The study found that the mean age of the mothers was 29.70±3.74 years, 54.3% were high school graduates, 77.8% were not employed, 78.1% had an income equal to their expenses, and 68.5% lived in a nuclear family. The mean total score on the Postpartum Maternity Blues Assessment Scale was 63.10±11.68, and the mean total score on the Breastfeeding Attitude Scale was 89.01±17.21. There was a statistically significant negative relationship between the scores on the Postpartum Maternity Blues Assessment Scale and the Breastfeeding Attitude Scale (p<.05). The level of postpartum maternity blues explained 88.7% of the variance in the breastfeeding attitudes of the mothers.
Conclusion: As maternal blues increases in the postpartum period, breastfeeding attitude decreases.
Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (K.A.P.) of doctors prescribing Vancomycin in a tertiary care hospital towards Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (T.D.M.) of Vancomycin
Authors: A Vinayak , Belhekar Mahesh , Krishnamurthy Bhaskar , Bhilwade Sujeet
Published: December 2024

Objective: Vancomycin is frequently prescribed to treat infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Precise dosing through therapeutic drug monitoring is critical for optimising treatment outcomes, minimising toxicity, and reducing antimicrobial resistance. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of clinicians regarding therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin at our institution given the low utilisation rate of this service.

Methods: Clinicians from the internal medicine and paediatrics departments provided written informed consent for participation. Data on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring were collected using a pre-validated questionnaire. Responses were analysed using Microsoft Excel version 2406.

Results: Of the 126 clinicians who were approached, 100 participated (50 from each department). Most respondents (79%) were postgraduate doctors with one to three years of experience. Although all participants were aware of therapeutic drug monitoring and 92% knew the service was available, the majority primarily recommended therapeutic drug monitoring for antiepileptic drugs. For vancomycin, only 42% regularly suggested therapeutic drug monitoring, 52% identified appropriate sampling timing, and 35% were aware of its therapeutic range. Although 93% acknowledged vancomycin’s adverse effects, with 34% citing nephrotoxicity, only 46% recommended therapeutic drug monitoring in cases of toxicity. The cost of the service was noted as a barrier by 34%.

Conclusion: Clinicians were aware of therapeutic drug monitoring but did not have comprehensive knowledge of vancomycin-specific guidelines. Cost and varied opinions on routine therapeutic drug monitoring hindered its implementation.

Intervertebral disc degeneration, inflammation, and bioactive lipids
Intervertebral disc degeneration
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common condition that is associated with significant morbidity. There is no specific treatment available for IVD except for surgical intervention. IVD is an inflammatory condition. I propose that IVD can be prevented and managed by local administration of lipoxin A4 (LXA4), a potent anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective and anti-osteoporotic metabolite formed from arachidonic acid (AA).
Keywords: intervertebral disc, degeneration, lipoxin A4, arachidonic acid, inflammation.
