Agricultural Development Management in the Context of Ukraine's Foreign Economic Security
Authors: Ivanov Roman V. , Hurtovyi Yurii V.
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Unsolved pre-war problems of agricultural production are additionally burdened by ongoing military operations, which have caused inevitable changes in domestic and foreign markets. Identifying and eliminating threats to the development of the agricultural sector will increase the efficiency of agricultural production, which will increase the level of foreign economic security of the country and, at the same time, strengthen global food security.

Design / Method / Approach: Based on the data of domestic and international statistical services and organizations, we used economic and statistical methods (regression, trend analysis) and graphically presented the obtained results.

Findings: A critically low share of imports negatively affects foreign economic security and pricing in the domestic market. The products export of plant-origin and low-value metals, as opposed to the high-tech products import, is critical. The condition with the provision of fish and fish products, fruits, berries and grapes, eggs, vegetables, and melon food crops is unstable. It depends either on conditions in foreign markets or only on domestic factors. The geographical structure of foreign trade is unsatisfactory and threatening due to excessive imports from China. An inverse correlation between the export volume of Ukrainian agricultural products and the world level of food prices has been established.

Theoretical Implications: The work confirms the importance of the Ukrainian agricultural sector in the context of global food security.

Practical Implications: We offer a set of actions, the implementation of which will make it possible to eliminate problems in agricultural production that negatively affect the state of foreign economic security.

Originality / Value: Work on a highly specialized topic, which includes the development of agricultural processes against the background of ongoing military operations.

Research Limitations / Future Research: In further research, it is advisable to consider the importance of the agricultural sector in the system of economic security of different countries since this article is limited to the methodology of the Ukrainian government.

La Enfermería podría diseñar estrategias específicas que fortalezcan el afrontamiento del duelo en este grupo.
Intervenções terapêuticas com cavalos: uma ferramenta para o bem-estar dos estudantes?
Authors: Evangelista Eddy Keller Cesar , Cesario Raquel Rangel
Published: October 2023

Resumo: Introdução: A literatura sobre educação médica vem mostrando que os alunos de Medicina vivenciam dificuldades quanto à sobrecarga de atividades e tarefas, culminando com estresse e depressão, muitas vezes associados aos desafios trazidos pelo modelo pedagógico da Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo relatar os resultados de duas intervenções terapêuticas desenvolvidas com estudantes, tendo como foco situações-problema enfrentadas no curso de Medicina e como finalidade a promoção do bem-estar. Método: Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e exploratória. Criou-se um cenário para vivências psicodramáticas com cavalos. A amostra foi composta por duas discentes de Medicina, que atenderam ao critério de inclusão “participar do Centro Acadêmico”. As alunas atuaram como protagonistas-pacientes-participantes. As intervenções com cada participante foram individuais e agiram nos níveis intrapsíquico e sistêmico, considerando aqui o sistema educação médica. Além da dramatização em si no palco-arena, ocorreram entrevistas semidirigidas abertas, à guisa de aquecimento e compartilhamento dos resultados, no dia da intervenção e seis meses após. Resultado: As protagonistas-pacientes-participantes, provenientes de dois cursos diferentes, ambos com currículo organizado em Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas, cursavam o sexto e oitavo semestres do curso. Os “dramas-sofrimento em relação ao curso” escolhidos para serem trabalhados foram “competição na tutoria” e “sobrecarga”. A dramatização trouxe à tona tomada de consciência do seu protagonismo em relação ao problema e da possibilidade de aquisição de novas respostas espontâneo-criativas, o que foi verificado seis meses após, por meio do relato das protagonistas-pacientes-participantes. O trabalho terapêutico realizado proporcionou às discentes melhora no bem-estar e melhor desempenho nas atividades estudantis, pessoais e sociais, de modo a prepará-las a ser as profissionais mais humanizadas que o SUS busca. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que o uso das “intervenções terapêuticas com cavalos” pode auxiliar as escolas médicas no cumprimento das DCN, pela via da promoção da saúde dos discentes de Medicina.

Authors: Carvalho Cleber de Sousa , Rios Sebastião
Published: October 2023

RESUMO O estudo apresenta reflexões acerca dos processos de evocação de memórias entre os congadeiros em Goiânia/GO, a partir da agência dos objetos sagrados - as coroas, as bandeiras e os bastões de mando. Foi desenvolvida pesquisa etnográfica nos festejos da Vila João Vaz entre os anos de 2017 e 2020. Observou-se que o uso dos objetos sagrados pode evocar memórias ligadas à ancestralidade e aos familiares que partiram. Em certos contextos, os objetos são dotados de poderes e configuram-se como instrumentos que possibilitam a comunicação com suas divindades, sejam os santos católicos ou entidades do panteão afro-brasileiro.

Authors: Teixeira Diego Siqueira de Lima , Carthery-Goulart Maria Teresa , Lukasova Katerina
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluate the performance in the Semantic and Phonemic Verbal Fluency tests in relation to the cognitive components of clustering and switching and explore the changes in development in elementary school. Methods Participants were 68 children from the 2nd to 5th grade of elementary school of a public school in the municipality of Santo André, divided into two groups, Learning Difficulty (LD) and Typical Development (TD). Results The Verbal Fluency tests were compared for the number of clusters, mean size of the clusters, and number of switches. All variables compared showed a statistically significant higher score for Semantic Verbal Fluency. Means and standard deviations of the same variables for year and group effect were realized in both Verbal Fluency tests. A statistically significant difference was observed only for the total number of clusters in the Semantic Verbal Fluency test for group effect, with the best performance of the TD group. A high correlation was observed between the total number of correct answers with the total number of clusters and number of switches in both Verbal Fluency tests. In addition, a correlation was observed between the total number of correct answers and the mean size of the clusters only in the Phonemic Verbal Fluency. Linear regression analysis showed greater variance for the total number of clusters, making it more predictable for performance in both verbal fluency tests. Conclusion Verbal Fluency tests may be sensitive and predictive for the identification of possible differences in school performance associated with reading.

ABSTRACT Purpose to identify a set of requirements for the development of an auditory-perceptual training simulator (APT) based on the experience of professors who provide APT. Methods This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Twenty-two professors answered an online questionnaire containing 31 items related to APT, involving items about the professional profile, conditions for APT in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Speech Therapy, APT structure, and evaluation of the APT effect. Result it was observed that there is a variation in APT procedures performed in Brazil. The main requirements indicated by the respondents for the APT involve the use of synthesized voices in the initial moments, followed by human voices later; the use of speech tasks with sustained vowels and connected speech; the insertion of complementary information such as gender, age, the profession of the speaker and the spectrography of the vocal signal; training with a minimum time of six hours; the evaluation of the training effect by comparing intra- and inter-judge agreement before and after training; the addition of the parameters of general degree of vocal deviation, roughness, breathiness, and strain; the use of validated continuous and numerical scales; and offering it from the second year of the undergraduate program. Conclusion although there is variability in the response of experts, a minimum set of requirements indicated for performing APT with new judges was identified.

There and Back Again: Extracting Formal Domains for Controllable Neurosymbolic Story Authoring
Authors: Kelly Jack , Calderwood Alex , Wardrip-Fruin Noah , Mateas Michael
Published: October 2023

Story generators using language models offer the automatic production of highly fluent narrative content, but they are hard to control and understand, seizing creative tasks that many authors wish to perform themselves. On the other hand, planning-based story generators are highly controllable and easily understood but require story domains that must be laboriously crafted; further, they lack the capacity for fluent language generation. In this paper, we explore hybrid approaches that aim to bridge the gap between language models and narrative planners. First, we demonstrate that language models can be used to author narrative planning domains from natural language stories with minimal human intervention. Second, we explore the reverse, demonstrating that we can use logical story domains and plans to produce stories that respect the narrative commitments of the planner. In doing so, we aim to build a foundation for human-centric authoring tools that facilitate novel creative experiences.

We present Stanley, a digital sculpture designed to engage audiences with the spontaneous and captivating emotional expressions of an artificial human. A 3D-printed face is brought to life through video projection mapping and a set of machine learning libraries and APIs, enabling real-time, embodied interactions with our virtual character. Stanley’s personality is shaped by traditional acting methods applied to a large language model. By creating human-machine encounters in emotionally salient scenarios, we explore how insights from acting and directing for the stage and the screen can enhance the development of compelling virtual agents. By interacting with Stanley, the audience experiences an entertaining yet unsettling encounter with AI technology, fostering a deeper understanding of machine learning techniques and enabling their critical reflection.
Genetic engineering approach to address microplastic environmental pollution: a review
Authors: Nyakundi David Onchonga , Mogusu Emmanuel Onyonka , Kimaro Didas Nahum
Published: October 2023

Polymeric materials have desirable chemical and physical properties, leading to a wide range of applications in consumer industries. However, such properties, which include high hydrophobicity, crystallinity, strong chemical bonds and high molecular weight, inhibit natural biodegradation of plastics by wild-type microbes. This has led to the accumulation of microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment, which is projected to be 12 000 million metric t by the year 2050. Such accumulation bears serious health side effects on both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Current methods used to control microplastics in the environment have proved inadequate due to high plastic production and extensive uses. Biological methods of controlling plastic pollution, which involve enzymes from various microbes, have emerged as an efficient, eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to plastic treatment and recycling. However, naturally occurring plastic-biodegrading enzymes possess limited biodegradation capacity due to low thermostability and biocatalytic activities, thus limiting large-scale applications. This review focuses on leveraged protein enzyme genetic engineering techniques intended to improve the catalytic performance of putative plastic-biodegrading enzymes and production of environmentally friendly bioplastics from natural fibres as a substitute for synthetic petroleum-based plastics. Genetically modified plastic-degrading enzymes possess boosted substrate interaction, increased hydrophobicity, better catalytic efficiency, increased thermostability and optimised plastic biodegradability.

Como resultado, obtuvimos una propuesta teórica que articula un conjunto de conocimientos para pensar la formación de profesores de Astronomía, poniendo en diálogo los resultados de investigación de dos campos para construir lo que llamamos la Dimensionalidad de la Enseñanza de la Didáctica de la Astronomía. Una conclusión importante es que sí es posible desarrollar discursos alternativos para la formación de profesores, y procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de este campo, de manera alternativa, lo que tendrá efecto en la formación de nuevos perfiles de profesores.
The Relationship Between Slow Wave Sleep and Blood Oxygen Saturation Among Patients With Apnea: Retrospective Study
Authors: Norouzi Ebrahim , Zakei Ali , Bratty Alexandra J. , Khazaie Habibolah
Published: October 2023

Background and Objective Prior research suggests that slow wave sleep (SWS) is disrupted in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it was not clear whether the reduction in SWS is related to abnormal breathing or the extent of OSA as determined by the minimum oxygen saturation. Further, there is limited research on the relationship between oxygen saturation and SWS. The present study examined the relationship between SWS and minimum oxygen saturation levels in patients with OSA.Methods The sample consisted of 589 patients with OSA (mean age: 48.54 years) who completed full-night polysomnography.Results Results showed that there was a significant difference in SWS scores across three apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) groups (AHI score 5–15 for mild apnea, 16–30 for moderate apnea, and >30 for severe apnea). Lower SWS scores were observed in the severe apnea group. Additionally, results indicated that as oxygen saturation decreased, the SWS scores decreased.Conclusions Results from this study indicate that oxygen saturation significantly predicts SWS amounts. These findings suggest that interventions for low oxygen saturation could enhance the amounts of SWS. The clinical ramifications of these findings are worthy of consideration.

Authors: Polatcan Mahmut
Published: October 2023

Although research on the outcomes of leadership practices has increased, the research area on the antecedents of leadership has been underexplored. This study investigated the associations between leadership self-efficacy, motivation to lead and leadership practices that influence the leadership behaviours of higher education students. In the study in which the cross-sectional research design, the sample comprised 545 undergraduates from Turkey. The results showed that increasing student leadership self-efficacy beliefs directly affected leadership practices. Also, in research found the motivation to lead to having an important partially mediated role in the relationship between student self-efficacy beliefs and leadership practices. This study contributes to the existing body of international knowledge on school leadership research by concluding that the effect of leadership self-efficacy and students' motivation to lead on student practices. As a result, in study propose that educational activities aimed at enhancing undergraduate students' leadership self-efficacy and motivation to lead include elements that concentrate on developing students' leadership self-efficacy and motivation to lead. Implications for policy, practice and research are discussed.

Educating for Participatory Citizenship in the Social Sciences Classroom: A Practical Experience
Authors: Corrales Serrano Mario
Published: October 2023

Within the competences developed in the social sciences classroom in secondary education, one of the most influential in shaping society is social and civic competence. In this context, educating for citizen participation and democracy is one of the main tasks in this stage since it lays the foundations for personal development, and it is the last stage in which competencies are developed globally. This exploratory type of research carries out a qualitative analysis of the results of a didactic intervention whose purpose is this task. It was carried out with a sample of 143 students, chosen by convenience procedure, not probabilistic, under the necessary conditions to participate in the intervention during the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 academic years. Its objective is to analyze the training of secondary education students in Spain from the areas of social sciences and philosophy for democratic participation in society. The analysis methodology was qualitative and was carried out with the help of WEBQDA software. The results show an evolution in the knowledge about the concepts of "democracy" and "participation" and the disposition for citizen participation in the students included in the sample.
“Family Keepers” or “Career Seekers”: Understanding the Life Experiences and Educational Trajectories of the Young Chinese Restaurant Owners in the United States
Authors: Wang Yuejia
Published: October 2023

This qualitative research investigates how Chinese restaurant owners negotiate their education opportunities, family solidarity, and social identity during their migration for success in the United States. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with nine Chinese restaurant owners in Western New York and identified two types of participants on the basis of their family backgrounds and educational attainments: the "family keepers" and the "career seekers". In short, "family keepers" tend to see ethnic business ownership as a way to sustain their families, while "career seekers" regard the ethnic business as a jumping-off point toward a new career. Incorporating the concept of transnational habitus from Bourdieusian scholars, this study argues that immigrants develop different transnational habitus within which they constantly reframe distinct mechanisms to evaluate their ethnic, family, and human capital for upward social mobility. By offering a comprehensive lens to understand immigrants’ human agency in coping with social and racial inequity, this study suggests one’s capital is dynamic and two-sided when transferring internationally. A certain type of capital denotes both advantages and disadvantages in immigrants’ transnational journey. It also raises the significance of with-group variance in understanding new immigrants’ upward social mobility.
“Teachers’ Impact on the Implementation of Human Rights Education in International Indian Schools in Kuwait
Authors: Lakshminarayanan Radhika , Košir Suzana
Published: October 2023

With globalization, the establishment of private international schools has increased, particularly in nations with large migrant populations. These schools are affiliated to accreditation bodies from their respective country of origin for curriculum and assessment, although they may also be subject to certain norms within host countries. This duality alludes that students’ knowledge is largely dependent on the teacher who effectuates the official curriculum defined by the accrediting institution into the actual curriculum within the classroom. Although this reflects on all courses taught, it has wider implications in the effectiveness of Human rights education (HRE). This paper investigates key factors that determine the effective implementation of HRE by teachers in international schools, using the case study of Indian schools in Kuwait. By developing the 3I model (Introduction, Interpretation, and Implementation), the researchers determined the causative linkages in the structure and effectiveness of school curriculum for HRE, measured with exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The results indicate that human rights are not adequately addressed in the official curriculum and the teacher’s own knowledge and comprehension of human rights influences the application of HRE in the actual curriculum, which may present scope for bias and subjectivity.

Authors: Berezina T.N. , Deulin D.V. , Sechko A.V. , Rozenova M.I.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the dependence of professional burnout of secondary school teachers on the favorable educational environment and on the age characteristics of teachers. The study was carried out in two stages (the first stage included the study of the relationship between the professional burnout of teachers and age characteristics; the second stage was aimed at studying the relationship between the indicators of the favorable educational environment of the school and the professional burnout of teachers). The study involved 70 subjects (women, mean age 43.2 + 12.61 years, minimum age 23 years, maximum age 62). The main research methods were: diagnostic (MBI professional burnout questionnaire, educational environment safety questionnaire, psychotic atmosphere in the team questionnaire, assessment of the index of relative biological aging according to V.P. Voitenko) and statistical (correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression with the inclusion of variables). The authors come to the conclusion that for teachers with a work experience of 1 year or more, there is no linear relationship between experience, calendar age and indicators of professional burnout. At the same time, there is a correlation between the indicators of burnout and the index of relative biological aging: the higher the indicators of burnout, the stronger the rate of biological aging of the body. The main conclusion in the work is the established fact of the relationship of professional burnout with an increase in biological age, and the absence of a linear relationship with calendar age and length of service. On the other hand, professional burnout depends on the degree of favorable educational environment: the more favorable the environment, the less burnout.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain that is often comorbid with psychiatric disorders and other pain-related conditions. The practice of yoga improves symptoms among patients with IBS, although the virtual delivery of yoga in this patient population remains understudied. The purpose of this article is to report feasibility and acceptability of a 6-week pilot yoga intervention among IBS and healthy control participants, which was transitioned to an online format in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants attended 3 virtual study visits and received 60-minute private yoga sessions twice weekly for 6 weeks via Zoom. Sixteen females (n = 8 in IBS group, n = 8 in control group) with a mean age of 34.7 identified as White (87.5%) and Asian (12.5%). All participants attended all 3 study visits; 14 participants attended 12 yoga sessions, 1 attended 11, and 1 attended 9. At the end of the study, 81.3% of participants strongly agreed that participating in the online study was beneficial and convenient, and 87.5% strongly agreed that participating in the online yoga program was beneficial. Our online study and yoga intervention was feasible and acceptable; future studies with larger and more diverse populations will be conducted to investigate health effects among individuals with IBS.

Objetivo. Traducir y adaptar culturalmente el Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) a tres variedades del quechua y analizar su validez, confiabilidad e invarianza. Materiales y métodos. 1) Fase de adaptación cultural: el PHQ-9 fue traducido del inglés a tres variantes del quechua (Central, Chanca, Cuzco-Collao) y traducido nuevamente al inglés, posteriormente expertos y grupos focales permitieron adaptar culturalmente las  traducciones. 2) Fase psicométrica: se evaluó la uni-dimensionalidad del PHQ-9 adaptado mediante un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (CFA), la confiabilidad se evaluó mediante consistencia interna (Alpha y Omega), y la invarianza de medida según variedades del quechua y variables sociodemográficas se evaluó empleando CFA multigrupos y modelos MIMIC (Múltiples Indicadores y Múltiples Causas). Resultados. Cada una de las adaptaciones del PHQ-9 a las tresvariedades de quechua reportaron ítems claros y culturalmente equivalentes. Posteriormente, con 970 datos de quechuahablantes adultos varones y mujeres, el modelo general unidimensional reportó un ajuste adecuado (índice de ajuste comparativo: 0,990, índice de Tucker-Lewis: 0,987, residuo estandarizado cuadrático medio: 0,048, raíz del error cuadrático medio de aproximación: 0,071), lo mismo ocurrió para cada variedad del quechua. La confiabilidad fue alta para todas las variedades (α = 0,865 – 0,915; ω = 0,833 – 0,881). Los resultados del CFA multigrupos y modelos MIMIC confirmaron invarianza de medida según variante del quechua, sexo, residencia, edad, estado civil y nivel educativo. Conclusiones. Las adaptaciones del PHQ-9 a Quechua Central, Chanca y Cuzco-Collao ofrecen una medición válida, confiable e invariante, confirmando que se pueden hacer comparacionesen los grupos evaluados. Su uso beneficiará a la investigación y a la atención en salud mental de poblaciones quechuahablantes.

La vacunación contra el SARS-CoV-2 no está exenta de efectos adversos. Se presenta dos casos de afectación endocrina asociada a la vacunación por la COVID-19. Mujer de 46 años que, luego de la primera dosis, presentó fiebre persistente y signos de tirotoxicosis, tras el diagnóstico de tiroiditis subaguda asociada a vacunación por la COVID-19, el cuadro remitió con el uso de corticoides. Varón de 71 años, que luego de la vacunación por la COVID-19, presentó hipoglicemias hiperinsulinemicas, con resultado positivo deanticuerpos antiinsulina. Se le diagnosticó con una hipoglicemia autoinmune asociada a la vacunación por la COVID-19 y recibió tratamiento con prednisona, controlando los episodios de hipoglicemia. En conclusión, las enfermedades endocrinas asociadas a vacunación por la COVID-19 son extremadamente raras y su detección oportuna permite su tratamiento adecuado.

Published: October 2023

El objetivo fue caracterizar el contenido de sodio en preparaciones de consumo frecuente fuera del hogar en tres zonas de Lima Metropolitana. Se realizó un estudio transversal para el cual se identificaron veinte preparaciones de consumo frecuente según el lugar de expendio. La determinación del contenido de sodio se obtuvo mediante espectroscopía de absorción atómica en preparaciones recolectadas en el 2019. La mediana del contenido de sodio en productos de venta ambulatoria fue 492,36 mg/100 g (RIQ: 83,93 - 918,78); 471,37 mg/100 g, en preparaciones tradicionales y típicas (RIQ: 76,04 - 765,39); y 471,06 mg/100 g (RIQ: 115,31 - 695,18), en comidas rápidas. El 65% de las preparaciones fueron consideradas altas en sodio según los parámetros peruanos, mientras que el 30% de las preparaciones también presentaron un alto contenido, de acuerdo con los parámetros del Reino Unido. La mayoría de las preparaciones expendidas y consumidas fuera del hogar presentan un elevado contenido de sodio. Es esencial involucrar a todos los actores que participan en la preparación de alimentos para el consumo fuera del hogar, con el fin de sensibilizarlos e incluirlos en la promoción de políticas enfocadas en la reducción delconsumo de sodio.
Ewolucja statusu społecznego i pozycji wielkich osiedli mieszkaniowych w strukturze rezydencjalnej miasta postsocjalistycznego. Wybrane przykłady
Authors: Szafrańska Ewa
Published: October 2023

Wielkie osiedla mieszkaniowe o zabudowie blokowej, w języku potocznym i w literaturze naukowej określane też „blokowiskami” lub „osiedlami z wielkiej płyty”, stanowią najbardziej widoczne dziedzictwo socjalizmu we współczesnych miastach postsocjalistycznych i bardzo istotny element struktury społeczno-przestrzennej tych miast. Głównym celem artykułu jest ilustracja przemian, które nastąpiły po 1990 r. w strukturze społecznej, oraz prestiżu tych osiedli w mieście postsocjalistycznym, a także określenie, jaki jest kierunek, tempo, determinanty i efekty tych przemian. Za ważne uznano odpowiedź na dwa pytania: po pierwsze, jakie jest miejsce wielkich osiedli mieszkaniowych z strukturze społeczno-przestrzennej miasta postsocjalistycznego, a po drugie, czy osiedla te powielają ścieżki przekształceń wielkich osiedli w miastach zachodnioeuropejskich, czy też przekształcają się w sposób swoisty, specyficzny dla miast po socjalizmie? Pracę oparto na analizie dostępnej literatury omawiającej przemiany osiedli w wybranych krajach i miastach Europy Centralnej i Wschodniej oraz publikowanych wcześniej własnych badaniach empirycznych autorki.
