Assessing the Role of Fruit Tree-Based Agroforestry in Climate Change Adaptation: A Case Study in Sofi District, Harari Regional State, Ethiopia
Authors: Sima Daba Bogale , Estifanos Solomon , Asfaw Zebene
Published: January 2024

The article investigates the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in the Sofi District of Harari Regional State, Ethiopia, with a focus on smallholder farmers practicing agroforestry and monoculture. The study aims to understand smallholders' perceptions of climate change, identify climate change indicators, analyze observed climate trends, and explore adaptation strategies. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining focus group discussions, semi-structured surveys, key informant interviews, and meteorological data analysis. The study area, Sofi District, was described in terms of geography, climate, geology, soil, and land use. Results indicate that smallholders in Sofi District have observed rising temperatures, decreased rainfall, and increased drought frequency over the last three decades. Smallholder farmers practicing agroforestry are found to be more resilient to climate change impacts compared to monoculture practitioners. The study reveals that farmers perceive frequent droughts, erratic rainfall, shortness of rainy seasons, and temperature increases as significant indicators of climate change. Furthermore, respondents attribute climate change to anthropogenic factors such as deforestation, rapid population growth, and lack of soil and water conservation. Adaptation strategies employed by smallholders include crop diversification, adjusting planting dates, fruit tree-based agroforestry practices, reducing the number of animals kept, compost preparation, and improved animal feed production. Agroforestry practitioners exhibit significant differences in adaptation strategies compared to monoculture practitioners, emphasizing the importance of diverse coping mechanisms. Major constraints faced by farmers include pests and diseases, soil erosion, livestock deaths, crop loss, decreased farm income, and poor soil fertility. The study underscores the role of agroforestry in mitigating these challenges and enhancing smallholders' adaptive capacity. The findings suggest that agroforestry provides shade, fruit for income and consumption, reduces evapotranspiration, and minimizes soil erosion, making it a valuable approach for climate change adaptation. The research implies that promoting agroforestry practices can contribute to sustainable agricultural development and resilience in the face of climate change. Policymakers and agricultural stakeholders should consider supporting and implementing agroforestry initiatives to enhance the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers in similar contexts.
Optimizing Waste Management in Construction: A Policy Development Approach for Sustainable Practices
Authors: Kayenat Monzerina
Published: January 2024

The construction industry is pivotal in advancing infrastructure but also contributes significantly to environmental degradation through waste generation. This research investigates waste management practices in three construction projects in Chittagong, Bangladesh, aiming to develop a feasible waste management policy. Through a rigorous analysis of site-specific data, the study identifies the types and quantities of waste generated and evaluates existing waste management practices. The paper proposes a policy focused on reducing waste through strategic planning, efficient resource utilization, and enhanced recycling efforts. While the study provides a foundational policy framework and contributes to sustainable construction practices, it also acknowledges its limitations due to the sample size and geographical focus. Future research directions include broader application and longitudinal studies to assess the policy's impact, integration of advanced technological tools for waste tracking, and a more in-depth stakeholder analysis to foster inclusive and comprehensive waste management solutions. This work serves as a stepping stone towards more sustainable construction practices, with implications for environmental, economic, and regulatory aspects of construction waste management

Authors: FARES Mohamad HAJ , SERTBAŞ Ahmet
Published: January 2024

This research addresses the escalating concerns surrounding privacy, particularly in the context of safeguarding sensitive medical data within the increasingly demanding healthcare landscape. We undertake an experimental exploration of differentially private federated learning systems, employing three benchmark datasets—PathMNIST, BloodMNIST, and OrganAMNIST—for medical image classification. This study pioneers the application of federated learning with differential privacy in healthcare, closely simulating real-world data distribution across twelve hospitals. Additionally, we introduce a novel deep-learning architecture tailored for differentially private models. Our findings demonstrate the superior performance of federated learning models compared to traditional approaches, with accuracy levels approaching those of non-private settings. By leveraging resilient deep learning models, we aim to enhance privacy, efficiency, and effectiveness in healthcare solutions, benefiting patients, healthcare practitioners, and the overall healthcare system through privacy-protected healthcare.
Global biogeographic regions for ants have complex relationships with those for plants and tetrapods

Published: January 2024

On a global scale, biodiversity is geographically structured into regions of biotic similarity. Delineating these regions has been mostly targeted for tetrapods and plants, but those for hyperdiverse groups such as insects are relatively unknown. Insects may have higher biogeographic congruence with plants than tetrapods due to their tight ecological and evolutionary links with the former, but it remains untested. Here, we developed the first global regionalization for a major and widespread insect group, ants, based on the most comprehensive distributional and phylogenetic information to date, and examined its similarity to regionalizations for tetrapods and vascular plants. Our ant regionalization supported the newly proposed Madagascan and Sino-Japanese realms based on tetrapod delineations, and recovered clusters observed in plants but not in tetrapods, such as the Holarctic and Indo-Pacific realms. Quantitative comparison suggests strong associations among different groups—plants showed a higher congruence with ants than with tetrapods. These results underscore the wide congruence of diverse distribution patterns across the tree of life, but the similarities shared by insects and plants that are not captured by tetrapod groups. Our analysis highlights the importance of developing global biogeographic maps for insect groups to obtain an unbiased geographic picture of life on Earth.

Purpose
This study aimed to assess the association of anxiety, headache, and insomnia on the QoL of patients with long COVID-19.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional survey between August 2020 and March 2023. A total of 147 patients with long COVID were included and their QoL was evaluated across eight domains using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Standardised protocols including the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) (n = 103), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (n = 73), and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) (n = 67) were also used.
Results
Participants with sleep disorders had significantly lower Vitality (p < 0.001). Participants with anxiety disorders had significantly lower Vitality (p = 0.001), poorer Mental Health (p = 0.008), and more severe Bodily Pain (p = 0.008). Participants with headache had significantly lower Vitality (p = 0.032), poorer Mental Health (p = 0.036), and poorer Physical Functioning (p = 0.016). Participants with both headache and anxiety had significantly lower Vitality (p = 0.005) and Mental Health (p = 0.043) domain scores. Correlation analysis revealed that higher scores for anxiety, sleep disturbance, and headache were independently correlated with poorer QoL across various domains. The presence of sleep disturbances was associated with a fourfold increase in risk of experiencing diminished Vitality (odds ratio [OR]4.47; 95% CI 1.01–19.69; p = 0.048).
Conclusion
Participants with anxiety, sleep, and headache disorders tended to have a worse QoL. The Vitality and Mental Health domains were the most adversely affected in patients with long COVID. Sleep disturbances were associated with a fourfold increase in the risk of poor Vitality.
Compositions of enzyme preparations for targeted modification of multicomponent bran
Authors: Vitol I. S. , Meleshkina E. P. , Krikunova L. N.
Published: January 2024

Microbial enzyme preparations (EPs) of the cellulolytic, proteolytic and phytase action, as well as their compositions, allow obtaining quite a wide spectrum of products of hydrolysis of proteins, non-starch polysaccharides and phytin by means of targeted biocatalysis upon action on grain bran. The use of EPs and multienzyme compositions (MECs) is inherently a modern tool for intensification of biochemical processes underlying one or another food technology. At the same time, EPs allow modifying products of processing plant raw materials, in particular cereal, leguminous and oil-bearing crops (deep processing) and obtain valuable feed and food ingredients. Two multienzyme compositions based on domestic and foreign EPs have been developed and scientifically substantiated. Optimal conditions have been determined for conducting enzymatic reactions when using wheat-lentil-flax bran as a substrate. High effectiveness of the developed MECs has been shown: the proportion of reducing substances (RS) in the hydrolysates under study increased compared to the mass fraction of the autolysates of wheat and three-component bran by 2.8 and 2.3 times (MEC‑1) and by 3.5 and 2.7 times (MEC‑2), respectively. The content of soluble protein increased by 4.7 and 3.0 times (MEC‑1) and by 6.4 and 4.2 times (MEC‑2). The proportion of soluble phosphorus increased on average by 3.0–3.5 times when using MEC‑1 and MEC‑2. It has been found by gel-electrophoresis that the fractions containing low-molecular-weight peptides and free amino acids (MW  < 1000 Da) in the hydrolysates obtained using MECs exceeded by 3–4 times the corresponding fraction in the hydrolysates obtained under the action of endogenous enzymes (autolysis). With that, according to the HPLC results, the concentration of amino acids that are most valuable in terms of nitrogenous nutrition of yeasts (aspartic acid, arginine) increased on average by 2.5–3.0 times, the concentration of valine by 5 times, histidine and isoleucine by 2.0–2.5 times in the experimental hydrolysates of three-component bran.
Disorder in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$
Authors: Dorband Moritz , Grumiller Daniel , Meyer René , Zhao Suting
Published: January 2024

We perturbatively study marginally relevant quenched disorder in AdS_33/CFT_22 to second order in the disorder strength. Using the Chern-Simons formulation of AdS_33 gravity for the Poincaré patch, we introduce disorder via the chemical potentials. We discuss the bulk and boundary properties resulting from the disorder-averaged metric. The disorder generates a small mass and angular momentum. In the bulk and the boundary, we find unphysical features due to the disorder average. Motivated by these features, we propose a Poincaré-Lindstedt-inspired resummation method. We discuss how this method enables us to remove all of the unphysical features and compare with other approaches to averaging.
Genesis of Legal Force: The Significance of a Formal Source of Law
Authors:   Law institute of the named after S. P. Korolyov Samara national research university, Spirin M. Yu.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the issue of the origin of a fundamental phenomenon for legal science and practice – legal force, which both the outer shells of normative texts (regulatory legal acts, normative contracts and other forms of objective law) have, and the legal norms themselves as generally binding rules of social interaction. The issues of formation and subsequent action of the category of «legal force» are considered from the standpoint of the embodiment of this category in the carriers of regulatory legal information – legal norms that need stable outer shells (formal sources of law). The author determines the methodological significance of the impact of the future formal source of law to genesis and the subsequent implementation of legal force as an abstract category of the legal system. Particular attention is drawn to the reflection of the significance of legal force through the prism of the property of universal validity in formal sources of law. The author establishes that the category of «legal force» may exist before the formation of a specific outer shell (form) of legal regulation, however, for its practical action, it fundamentally needs it. The fundamental distinction between the legal force possessed by the norms of law and the formal power possessed by formal sources of law (mainly normative legal acts expressing the state will) in the question of the genesis of the category «legal force» is associated with the distinction between methods for their determination and subsequent practical application. In this sense, the importance of the difference in the legal force of legal norms, the normative force of individual legal acts and the public power of legal documents is emphasized. The article provides examples from modern theoretical and legal literature, substantiating the need to study the category of «legal force» in the context of formal sources of law. The views of classical and modern authors in relation to the categories «legal force» and «source of law» are analyzed, the origin and content of the category «legal force» are clarified. Conclusions are drawn about the fundamental importance of the factors that determine the genesis of the category «legal force» and the sign of the general obligatory nature of objective law; an objective period of time is established for the emergence of the legal force of the norms of law and formal sources of law as their outer shells. The existence of legal force for the norms of law, systematically fixed in the normative text (formal source of law), is determined.
On the Formation of Biosafety Law as an Educational Course in Biojurisprudence in the Context of a New Tasks to Increase Legal Culture
Authors:   Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences RAS, Umnova-Koniukhova I. А.
Published: January 2024

The urgency of the article is conditioned by the need to increase the legal culture in the light of new biological threats and challenges caused by the development of biotechnologies and the importance of formation of the law of biosafety as a new educational course in biojurisprudence under these conditions. The research focused on scientific views on biojurisprudence, the relationship between biosafety law and biosafety law, as well as legal norms governing public relations arising from biosafety. In the context of the implementation of international legal standards in national law, special measures are being taken in the Russian Federation to ensure the convergence of international law and Russian biosafety legislation. In the process of scientific analysis, it is substantiated that the biosafety law structure is already partially determined by the content of specialized laws on biosafety, as well as other laws governing the conditions for the application of biotechnologies and human biosecurity, doctrinal program and strategic acts of the head of the Russian state and executive power. The aim is to improve the legal basis for biosafety in the Russian Federation. The article uses general and special methods of scientific research: system analysis, dialectical, formal-logical, comparative-legal, formal-legal. Purpose of the work: scientific and practical substantiation of the place of biosafety law in biojurisprudence and determination of its content as an educational course. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the author raises the question of the creation of a new educational course in biojurisprudence – the law of biosafety and proposes the structure of this course, based on legislation and scientific doctrine.
Interlocutory Judgment in Reduced Proceedings

Published: January 2024

The article claims to be scientific novelty. The author's groupings of intermediate solutions in the civil process are proposed. The author proceeds from the identity of the concepts of shortened (summary) and simplified production; the distinction between these concepts is not the task of the study. Among the interim decisions made by the court, the following stand out. Firstly, decisions in abbreviated (summary) proceedings, including proceedings to secure a claim. Secondly, decisions taken regarding the part of the claim include, in particular, an interim decision on the appointment of an advance payment in favor of the rescuer in accordance with the Merchant Shipping Code of the Russian Federation or the Inland Water Transport Code of the Russian Federation. Thirdly, decisions to cancel previously made decisions, which are a stepping stone to the final decision; this group includes, for example, a decision of an arbitration court in the order of review due to newly discovered or new circumstances to cancel its own decision at the first instance. The relative scientific novelty lies in the fact that the proceedings to secure a claim, or security proceedings, are classified as summary (abbreviated), along with simplified, writ and correspondence. Simplified (written and expedited) proceedings are also proceedings on the allocation of court costs. In addition, the article makes assumptions about the relationship between correspondence and simplified production; between simplified and ordered production; between ordered and in-person production. Considerations are expressed on the appointment of a writ of execution, designed to distinguish controversial claims intended for review in the claim proceedings, and indisputable claims, for which court orders can be issued to collect debts.
Fabrication of green magnetized ferrite biochar nanocomposites from orange peels/MnFe2O4, peanut shells/CuFe2O4, tree twigs/Ni Fe2O4, and wood/CoFe2O4: characterization and application as adsorbents for adsorption/desorption/stability of basic Blue-XGRRL dye with possible mechanisms

One of the primary sources of water pollution is the wastewater released from textile industry. In the current research, green magnetized ferrite biochar nanocomposites for the purification of basic dye Blue-XGRRL were prepared and characterized. The optimal pH values to attain maximum adsorption for orange peels/MnFe2O4, peanut shells/CuFe2O4, tree twigs/Ni Fe2O4, and wood/CoFe2O4 were noticed in the basic range of 11 (43.5 mg/g), 10 (37.8 mg/g), 10 (31.9 mg/g), and 10 (14.9 mg/g) at 0.05 g/0.05 L at optimal adsorbent dosage correspondingly. The equilibrium observed within 60 min in order of 45.7, 39.9, 33.9, and 18.9 mg/g for adsorbents. The optimal initial dye concentration 100 mg/L was determined for 46.8, 41.4, 37, and 25 mg/g of dye removal utilizing their corresponding adsorbing material at optimal temperature of 30 °C. The data adhered to Langmuir equilibrium and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Positive Gibbs free energy values led to the conclusion that the process lacks spontaneity. For Blue-XGRRL dye, the maximum desorption (45.4, 41.9, 36.3, and 23.9%) was achieved. For the first two cycles, the removal efficiencies were constant and then marginally declined in third cycle. These green nanocomposites hold promise for effective adsorption in water treatment, signifying their potential as impactful and sustainable solutions.
The influence of technology perceptions on farmers' water-saving irrigation technology adoption behavior in the North China Plain
Authors: Wang Yongqiang , Wang Zhe , Zhao Mingyue , Li Bingrong
Published: January 2024

The application and promotion of water-saving irrigation technology are of great significance for maintaining food security and the sustainable development of agricultural water resources. Based on the characteristics of integrated agricultural technologies, a binary logistic model was used to analyze the impact of technology perception on farmers' adoption behavior regarding water-saving irrigation technologies using data from surveys of 775 wheat and maize farmers in the North China Plain. The results show the following: the perceived ease of use of technology significantly contributes to farmers' water-saving irrigation technology adoption behavior, but the effect of the perceived usefulness of technology is not significant. Government regulation plays a moderating role in the impact of the perceived ease of use of technology on the adoption of water-saving irrigation technologies by farmers. In addition to the perceived ease of use of technology and technology training, large-scale farmers are influenced by government advocacy and technology subsidies, while smallholders are mainly influenced by the perceived usefulness of technology. Therefore, the focus of future work should be on improving farmers' perceptions of the ease of use of water-saving irrigation technologies, expanding the scope of technical training and technical subsidies, and strengthening government advocacy and education.
Verification of the constitutionality of normative legal acts (based on the practice of the Russian Сonstitutional Сourt)
Authors: Petrov Aleksey A.
Published: January 2024

This article examines the practice of the RF Constitutional Court in the cases on verifying the constitutionality of laws and other legal acts. Such cases formed the main content of the activities of the Constitutional Court in the field of judicial constitutional normative control at the first stage of its history (1992–1993), but then they became a rarity. The reasons for such dynamics are revealed. It is concluded that the criteria related to the issues of competence of public authorities and officials are subject to exclusion from the list of criteria for verifying the constitutionality of legal acts established by the Law on the Constitutional Court, since the constitutional judicial assessment of legal acts according to these criteria should be given as part of the consideration of disputes on competence by the Constitutional Court. Special attention is paid to the issues of verifying the constitutionality of legal acts in terms of the norms’ content; practical examples show the variety of situations in which such verification becomes possible. The possibility of restoring normative regulation is indicated if it was present in a legal act that was recognized as inconsistent with the Constitution on criteria not related to verifying the content of such act.

Authors: Olalekan Olovu G. , Akulich Maria M.
Published: January 2024

This article aims to compare the relevance of social media among Nigerian and Russian youths from a networking perspective. The importance of social media and its implications have attracted the attention and research interest of scholars from different countries and fields of knowledge. Nevertheless, among the plethora of sociological research, there is a lack of scholarly work on a comparative analysis of social media’s importance for young people in different countries. Therefore, in this study, the research focuses on understanding the similarities and differences of the economic and social life of Nigeria and Russia. The aim is to understand the relevance of social media networks to the youths of the two countries. The study used a sample survey method using questionnaire, 150 copies of which were distributed to Nigerian and Russian youths each. The questionnaire used the English and Russian languages for the corresponding groups of respondents. This study has shown that both Nigerian and Russian youths have much in common in their assessments of the economic and social relevance of social networks for business development, consumer behavior, and human relationship.

This article studies the development of the criminal law protection of public relations arising during the administration of justice, namely, the issue of criminal liability for the provision of falsified items and documents provided to the court by persons not involved in the case in response to the judicial act, to which such documents are requested by the court to resolve the case. The relevance of this issue lies in the constantly growing number of cases submitted to the RF courts, which in turn increases the possibility of encroachment on public relations protected by the chapter 31 of the RF Criminal Code. This article aims to analyze the evidence of falsification in civil and administrative cases in relation to acts committed in the process of providing falsified evidence in response to a judicial act seeking evidence. The author makes a proposal to improve the criminal law by expanding the characteristics of a special subject of falsification of evidence in civil and administrative cases by referring to a person providing evidence to the court based on the obligation imposed by the court on such a person to provide them. Additionally, the article considers the possibility of qualifying the studied acts in the conditions of the current legislation.

Analysis of Illustrations in 『Sinjajeon(新字典)』 editedby Nam-seon Choi(崔南善)
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, KIM YOUNGOG
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this paper is to understand the current status of the illustrations in 『Sinjajeon』 edited by Nam-seon Choi in 1915, and to analyze the origin and characteristics of the illustrations in 『Sinjajeon』. Through this, the influence of illustrations in Korean Word Chinese-character dictionary compiled after 『Sinjajeon』 and the relationship between Korean and Chinese Word Chinese-character dictionarys compiled at the same time were identified.
Research on the dictionary in Korea was mainly conducted on the ‘motivation and influence relationship of compilation’, ‘organizing method’, and ‘shape, sound, and meaning of recorded Chinese characters’. In addition to this, this paper focused on the illustrations in the dictionary to understand the origin of the illustrations and the influence relationship was reviewed. The results of the review are as follows.
First, 『Sinjajeon』 edited by Nam-Seon Choi was the first Korean dictionary to use illustrations, and was introduced under the Chinese character.
Second, 『Sinjajeon』 edited by Nam-Seon Choi was influenced by the illustrations of China's 『Xinzidian』 edited by Er-kui Lu at the same time.
Third, the illustration of 『Sinjajeon』 edited by Nam-Seon Choi was influenced by 『Xinzidian』 edited by Er-kui Lu. However, it was not necessarily the same with 『Xinzidian』 edited by Er-kui Lu. The illustrations in 『Sinjajeon』 edited by Nam-Seon Choi were similar to Wang-Qi’s 『Sancaituhui』 and Nie-Chong Yi’s 『Sanlitujizhu』.
This study identified the current status of illustrations in 『Sinjajeon』 edited by Nam-Seon Choi in 1915 and studied the characteristics of illustrations in 『Sinjajeon』. This is expected to contribute to understanding the influence between Korean and Chinese Word Chinese-character dictionary. In addition, it will be able to contribute to the study of book exchanges in East Asia in the future.
Philological study of Jinyangyeongo : Focusing on the first edition
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, Jang Yeon-soo
Published: January 2024

This paper is a philological review on Jinyangyeongo of Jinyang Ha family. Jinyangyeongo has been first published in woodblock print at Haeinsa in 1609, and, it is covering Songheon Ha Jeup(1303~1380), Koheon Ha Yoonwon(1322~1376), Mokong Ha Jajong(1350~1433), Kyungjae Ha Yeon(1376~1453) and Yeondang Ha Woomyung(1413~1493) in order. The complier of Jinyangyeongo is Ha Hon(1548~1620). Jinyangyeongo, like the general Sego, was compiled for the purpose of preventing the loss of the literary works of the ancestors. However, it is notable in that it was published in an early period, and that royal person, Gyeongsang-do provincial governors, Gyeongsang-do county governors, and Dongnae county governors were involved in its publication. Although Jinyangyeongo was revised in 1859 and 1907, the composition and content are almost the same. Therefore, this study focuses on the compilation characteristics and publication history of the first edition.
First, by examining the composition and compilation background of the first edition, it was confirmed that Jinyangyeongo was published with the intention of improving the status of the family by aligning with Jinyang- hassisebo. Next, it was confirmed that traces of ancestors were collected from various documents in addition to the poems which was mostly commended. Representative examples include Jinsansego, Pilwonjapgi, Haedongmyeongjeok, and Donggukyeojiseungram. In particular, it adopted the composition method of Jinsansego, and collected the calligraphies in Haedongmyeongjeok, which is a feature that cannot be found in Sego of the same period.
In addition, by revealing the relationship between each person who participated in the publication and the compiler, it was confirmed that the publication method of Jinyangyeongo was quite different from the general case of publishing a collection of literary works. Also, the location of Haeinsa is noteworthy, and the fact that Jinyangyeongo was published confirms that Haeinsa was used as a publishing base for the Nammyeong School before Deokcheonseowon was royally chartered in 1609. Lastly, this study includes review of the process to create a complete Sego, by founding clues showing that the first edition was revised several times. The above details have certain philological significance in that they allow us to confirm in detail one aspect of the Sego in the mid-Joseon Dynasty.
Aspects of reconstruction of the Byeongjahoran narrative based on Jeong Se-gyeong's defeat
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, Kim Iihwan
Published: January 2024

The Manchu War was a strange war in many ways, but the post-war process was especially so. There were attempts to free King Injo, who was isolated in Namhansanseong Fortress, from the siege, but none were successful. High-ranking officials who died in the process received rewards, and generals who survived despite losing the battle received large and small punishments. Jeong Se-gyu, who survived despite suffering a crushing defeat, showed an exceptional performance by being recognized for his defeat and advancing to a high-ranking position. It received relatively good reviews primarily because of the political faction to which Jeong Se-gyu belonged. King Injo’s intention was to escape responsibility for the defeat in the Manchu War and use this as an opportunity to strengthen his power. In addition, it is also the result of the desire of noblemen to prove their loyalty with the logic of ‘participating in King Geun-wang’s army’ and to gain realistic benefits by becoming recipients of veterans. We traced these complex aspects by looking at a variety of historical materials, personal practical data, and descendants' memorial records written against the background of the Manchu War.
The sorrow and suffering of the Byeongja War appeared in the poetry of Kim Sang-heon and Choi Myeong-gil
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, Kang Ji-hee
Published: January 2024

In this paper, I analyzed the Chinese poems of Cheongeum Kim Sang- heon and Jicheon Choi Myeong-gil, who had the most intense conflict between the Cheokhwa and Juhwa factions among the retainers who guarded Namhansanseong Fortress, and attempted to examine the horrors of the war and the resulting wounds and agony that remained in their minds after the end of the war.
In the case of Cheongeum, his upright character and attitude are clearly visible in the poems he wrote after the end of the Byeongja War. He still called the Qing dynasty ‘barbarians’ and was angry at the reality of the Qing dynasty’s exclusion. After the court's discussion turned towards surrender, he attempted suicide after starving for six days, but failed, and this regret remained in his heart even afterwards. In addition, the fact that his eldest brother Kim Sang-yong took refuge in Ganghwa Island and died when the castle fell was imprinted in him with deep sadness. He could not help but feel regret and sorrow over the return and death of Crown Prince Sohyeon, who was taken to the Qing Dynasty. He was saddened by the decline of the Ming dynasty even as the Qing dynasty was becoming more and more powerful, and he desperately hoped that the Ming dynasty, which had shown favor to Joseon, would regain its status as an emperor kingdom.
In the case of Jicheon, he criticized Cheongron's insistence on reconciliation and thought that true loyalty lies in protecting one's lordly father and preserving one's country. This perception is also reflected in his poems, and rather than expressing resentment over defeat in the war or anger toward the Qing Dynasty, he expresses painful memories of the Byeongja War, sorrow for his friends and Crown Prince Sohyeon who were sacrificed in the war, and concerns about the reality facing Joseon, a promise to repay the favor before death, and an expectation and hope that the country will prosper again after overcoming this tribulation.
In this way, the two people show very different views in their perception of the Byeongja War and their response after the end of the war, and this difference in opinion can be seen to be reflected in their poetry.

Based on the results of the 2018 Riskesdas, the proportion of breastfeeding patterns for infants aged 0-5 months in Indonesia is 37.3% exclusive breastfeeding.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the marmet technique and oxytocin massage on the smoothness breastfeeding .

Methods: This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, employing a two-group pretest-posttest design with a control group. The experimental group was administered the Marmet technique, while the control group received oxytocin massages for seven consecutive days. The sample for this study consisted of 60 first-day postpartum mothers, with 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. The research was conducted at PMB Bengkulu City. The research instruments used observation sheets, and data analysis was tested using the t-test and processed using computerization.

Results: The statistical results obtained showed that there was a significant difference between the groups given the marmet technique and oxytocin massage regarding the smoothness of breast milk, where the marmet technique group had better improvement. There is a relationship between education and parity with breastfeeding fluency but there is no relationship between age and work with breastfeeding fluency. Intervention and parity variables are the most effective variables in increasing the smooth breastfeeding of postpartum mothers.

Conclusions: There is an effect of the marmet technique and oxytocin massage on the smoothness of breast milk. It is expected that midwives can provide midwifery care for postpartum mothers by applying the marmet technique and oxytocin massage for the smooth production of breast milk and can be disseminated to the community

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Internet hospital has become a new trend of medical service, but there is no research on the competitive strategy of internet hospitals from the point of internet hospital market analysis. However, the correct competitive strategy is the guarantee to realize the benign operation of the enterprise.

OBJECTIVE

The study on competitive strategies of internet hospitals aims to provide basic ideas for the high-quality development of internet hospitals.

METHODS

In this study, an internet hospital built by a public tertiary hospital in Tianjin was the research object. Porter's Five Forces model was used to analyze the threat of competitors, the threat of new entrants, the threat of substitutes, the bargaining power of suppliers and the bargaining power of purchasers of the internet hospital.

RESULTS

The 7 local internet hospitals and 2 famous medical information technology enterprises-led internet hospitals were included in the study. The internet hospital as research object faces the dual competitive pressure from local physical hospitals-led internet hospitals and internet hospitals led by well-known medical information technology enterprises. There is a gap between the clinical specialty characteristics of it and those of internet hospitals built by local specialty hospitals. The bargaining power of doctors of it is lower than that of medical information technology enterprise-led internet hospitals and there is no bargaining space for patients. The competition of the digital medical consortium using the internet hospital as a platform is fierce and the main competitor of it is WeDoctor. The doctors resources of it are fewer than those of the enterprise-led HaoDaiFu and WeDoctor and it can't provide rapid online diagnosis and treatment services.

CONCLUSIONS

Internet hospitals are a new trend in medical service. Porter's Five Forces model analyzes the competitive situation faced by internet hospital from five aspects. The corresponding competitive strategies are proposed. Internet hospital should focus on the service radius, sustainable development, medical service content, cooperation and patients' interests. This study provides theoretical and practical basis for analyzing the development strategy of internet hospitals, fills the gap in the strategic research of internet hospitals and provides basic ideas for the high-quality development of internet hospitals.
MATRIX TRANSFORMS OF SPEED-SUMMABLE AND SPEED-BOUNDED SEQUENCES
Authors: Aasma Ants , Natarajan Pinnangudi N.

First we recall the notions of $A^{\lambda}$-boundedness, $A^{\lambda}$-summability and the absolute $A^{\lambda}$-summability of sequences, and the notion of $\lambda$-reversibility of $A$, where $A$ is a matrix with real or complex entries and $\lambda$ is the speed of convergence, \ie; a monotonically increasing positive sequence. Let $B$ be a lower triangular matrix with real or complex entries, and $\mu=(\mu_{n})$ be another speed of convergence. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix $M$ (with real or complex entries) to map the set of all $A^{\lambda}$-bounded sequences (for a normal matrix $A$) into the set of all absolutely $B^{\mu}$-summable sequences, and the set of all $A^{\lambda}$-summable sequences (for a $\lambda$-reversible matrix $A$) into the set of all absolutely $B^{\mu}$-summable sequences.

In Zábalo community within the Cuyabeno Fauna Production Reserve, a 26-year local initiative aimed at river turtle management was initiated following a significant decline in Podocnemis unifilis and P. expansa populations. Despite the program's lengthy history, weak monitoring and validation procedures prompted a comprehensive evaluation of management efficacy to strengthen the communitarian program. This assessment encompasses population estimates derived from nesting data (density, abundance, hatching success, hatchling production) for P. unifilis between 1994 and 2019. Some available data were also compiled for P. expansa which has not been the main focus of the communitarian program. Results highlight a positive temporal trend in P. unifilis population estimators, and a consistent high hatching success (81%), underscoring the program's contribution to the conservation of the species. Nonetheless, further research is imperative to assess age-specific population trends and enhance monitoring and management strategies for the relatively rare P. expansa.

ASPECTOS ECOLÓGICOS PARASITARIOS EN Pleurodema nebulosum (ANURA: LEPTODACTYLIDAE) EN LA REGIÓN DEL MONTE, SAN JUAN, ARGENTINA
Authors: Castillo Gabriel , González-Rivas Cynthia Jesica , Acosta Juan Carlos
Published: January 2024

Pleurodema nebulosum es una especie con amplia distribución en Argentina. Se analizó el parasitismo y su relación con el sexo, perturbación humana, masa y tamaño corporal. Se identificó al nemátodo Aplectana nebulosa (Cosmocercidae) en el intestino largo. Encontramos que la abundancia media parasitaria se asoció positivamente con el tamaño (longitud hocico-cloaca), sexo macho y perturbación humana. Un mayor tamaño corporal condujo a un aumento de la abundancia media de parásitos. Los machos de ambos ambientes estaban más parasitados que hembras. La abundancia media de parásitos fue mayor en el ambiente perturbado en comparación con el control. Discutimos nuestros resultados en un contexto ecológico. Se provee información novedosa sobre el parasitismo en esta especie de anfibio en el desierto del monte de Argentina.
