BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF EDUCATION TERMINOLOGY (BASED ON EURO PARLIAMENT TERMCOORD PROJECT)
Authors: Ivdit Diasamidze  , Lali Tavadze  , Natia Katamadze
Published: July 2024

Education is the field undergoing systematic changes and development that results in the necessity of constant research. Consequently, this process presents a handful of modern terminology that might become ambiguous by creating obstacles to understanding in different languages. Modern terminology mainly originates from the English language that has become the source of spreading the terms amongst different languages worldwide. Therefore, many people struggle with properly comprehending the idea behind a term that may cause misunderstanding of modern terminology misleading the process and consequent outcomes.
 The goal of Euro Project- Terminology coordination between Euro Parliament TermCoord and Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University corpus.bsu.edu.ge is to harmonize the multilingual term base of the European Parliament. Moreover, the project aims at research and lexical processing of thematic (medicine, culture (archaeology), education) terms, referring to sources and academic reference materials. Besides the driving force of the project is to create modules for field terms and reference materials on www.terminology.bsu.edu.ge; The process of working on terminology within the framework of the project is being carried out by developing the terminological corpus base of BSU (Batumi Shota Rustaveli state University). It will contain the thematic terminology that is being developed by BSU academics and students with copyright protection.
This particular study aims to determine what challenges and benefits have been identified in the process of working in the field of education. Quantitative, descriptive and comparative  methods have been applied in this research paper. The quantitative method has been used for data collection analysis, while the descriptive and comparative methods have been attributed to content analysis.
The results suggest that the benefits are as follows: (a) education terms have been processed and placed on www.terminology.edu.ge, which will be needed within the framework of association with the European Union; (b) processed thematic terminology in the area of education is available and the process of coordination-harmonization with TermCoord is the subject to be completed; (c) the thematic terminology will serve to minimize ambiguity in the field of education.  And the challenges are as follows: (a) some terms do not have corresponding Georgian equivalent; (b) some terms cannot be referred to any kind of sources in Georgian; (c) some terms cannot be referred to any kind of context in Georgian.
The Role of the Principal-Agent-Client Model in Understanding Corruption in the Public Procurement Sector in Malaysia
Authors: Mohd Yusof Hairuzzaki , Mohd Yusof Danial , Mohd Adnan Normala
Published: July 2024

Corrupt practices in public procurement in Malaysia are explained in this paper using a principal-agent model. The government leaders, who are typically politicians, ministers, or their relatives, are referred to as the" principal" while the officials who carry out their duties are referred to as "agents". The actors in the model who constitute the third party — the other actor in the cycle of corruption — include clients, customers, and the public at large. The principal-agent-client framework was applied to 18 selected corruption cases in Malaysia to describe and analyse the actors involved in the transgressions and illegal acts in these cases. The cases were investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) from 2014 to 2019, charged and found guilty by the courts in Malaysia. The findings show that all the actors in the role of agent were public officials, while the actors in the role of client were from the private sector, and the actors in the role of principal were high-ranking government officials, their relatives, and politicians.
Metodologije za kvalitativno vrednotenje kakovosti odprtih podatkov
Authors: Žnideršič Klara , Marolt Matija , Veršič Aleš , Pesek Matevž
Published: July 2024

Članek predstavlja pregled metodologij za kvalitativno vrednotenje odprtih podatkov. Različni pristopi so bili razviti tako za ocenjevanje metapodatkov, ki opisujejo posamezne zbirke podatkov, kot tudi za ocenjevanje samih podatkov. Metodologije pogosto temeljijo na standardih in širše sprejetih smernicah za zagotavljanje kakovosti podatkov, posamezne vidike (meta)podatkov pa obravnavajo kot dimenzije, združene v kategorije. Slednje med različnimi metodologijami niso poenotene, kar otežuje primerjavo ali združevanje rezultatov, vendar poznavanje različnih pristopov pomembno pripomore pri razvoju novih, učinkovitejših in bolj interoperabilnih rešitev. V primeru razvoja novih orodij za vrednotenje odprtih vladnih podatkov v Sloveniji je potrebno upoštevati še dodatna priporočila. Trg odprtih podatkov v državah Evropske unije namreč regulirajo zakonodaje in smernice tako na nacionalni, kot na ravni Unije. V tem prispevku predstavljamo pregled smernic in standardov ter izpostavljamo izzive za izdelavo poenotene metodologije, ki bi pripomogla k dvigu ravni kakovosti in dostopnosti odprtih podatkov.

at subnational level
Authors: Žmegač Davor , Čolig Marina , Drezgić Saša
Published: July 2024

Based on the idea of converging the concepts and models used in real-sector strategic planning in order to be applied to the public sector, this paper is aimed at examining potential improvements of the standard process of strategic planning within regional economics, particularly in situational analysis as an initial stage. In accordance with the above, a simulation model of the application of quantified SWOT / TOWS matrix analysis was performed. Combinations of two methods of situational analysis were applied in the model, namely SWOT and TOWS matrix, and additionally introduced methods of Focus Group and Delphi method. Compared to the standard methods for developing strategic documents and analyses within the scope of regional economics planning, the proposed model emphasizes the connection between the real-sector tools and the strategic decision-making processes of the public sector, minimizes the subjectivization of the situational analysis by introducing the Delphi method, utilizing independent expert knowledge, which is also the main contribution of this model. The simulation model developed in this paper achieved satisfactory outcomes and could be applied in further research to solving of actual problems in strategic planning within the scope of regional economics. The model limitations are related to the quality of implementation of the focus group (sample, chief moderator’s expertise), the selection of experts for the Delphi analysis and the moderation of the Delphi method and the process of developing optional actions in the TOWS matrix. The paper’s main expected contributions are the findings obtained during modelling, model discussion and open questions related to potential future research, all based on the idea of convergence of the strategic planning tools used in the real and public sectors.

Taxonomy of the Typhula ishikariensis complex in Russia
Authors: Tkachenko O. B. , Hoshino T. , Matsumoto N.
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this publication is to show the history of the taxonomy of the Typhula ishikariensis complex and to provide more detailed geographical descriptions of those fungi in Russia. Three features on the description of this complex species are noted: morphological, crossing and molecular. Often, species described on different host plants have been recognized as synonyms of another previously described species, for example, T. humulina isolated from hop rhizomes and T. graminearum from first year seedlings of Pinus sylvestris and grass weeds have been synonymized with Typhula idahoensis. The latest work by Hoshino et al. distinguished four taxa (three species) based on dendrograms obtained by ITS and ribosomal DNA sequencing, crossing results, morphological and physiological characters: T. ishikariensis var. ishikariensis, T. ishikariensis var. idahoensis, T. hyperborea, and T. canadensis. T. ishikariensis var. idahoensis was found only in North America, and the last two species (T. hyperborea and T. canadensis) mainly in areas with extreme winter conditions. In Russia, Typhula ishikariensis var. ishikariensis, was recorded in the European part of Russia beyond the Arctic Circle: Apatity (Kola Peninsula), in places with a temperate climate: Moscow, St. Petersburg, the republics of Chuvashia and Mari El; and in Asia with a more severe climate: Sverdlovsk Region, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk Region (Hamar-Daban) and Sakhalin. T. canadensis and, presumably, the oldest T. hyperborea, inhabit mainly in areas with unstable and severe winter climates. T canadensis in Russia was noted by us in Asia in the Baikal region in the Ice Age refugium Khamar-Daban, Kamchatka and Sakhalin, and T. hyperborea in Asia in the Sverdlovsk region, Novosibirsk, Kamchatka and Chukotka (Anadyr), along with the European regions of Russia with a temperate climate in the Volga republics of Mari El and Tatarstan. These areas are characterized frequent autumn frosts, which promoted competition with another snow mold pathogen, the necrotroph Sclerotinia borealis. Underground damage of plant tissues, such as tulip bulb bases and roots, and hop rhizomes by T. ishikariensis var. ishikariensis occurred only in Russia. Perhaps the diversity in winter climate evolved and preserved diverse taxa, including ancestral forms. Obviously, such climatic fluctuations evolved organisms capable of survival under unstable stressful conditions, especially when climatic conditions change.

Published: July 2024

This review (I part) presents an analysis of publications devoted to the ant-viral antiinfluenza activity of medicinal plants. It has shown that 63 species are found to be promising sources for obtaining anti-influenza drugs. Their roots, stems, leaves and fruits contain different chemical compounds inhibiting reproduction of influenza virus, both in vitro and in vivo. These compounds have different mechanisms of action. Some of them act upon components of the viral particle, others upon signaling pathways in the host cells. The first part of our review focuses on 28 species.
Chemical composition and biological activity of wild Linum (Linaceae) Species
Authors: Naumenko-Svetlovа A. A.
Published: July 2024

The review presents data from literature sources on the component composition and biological activity of aboveground and underground parts of wild species of the genus Linum L. (Linaceae DC. ex Perleb). In recent decades, studies have been carried out on the component composition of not only flaxseed oil, but also cell cultures in vitro. This information is especially relevant for starting herbal materials derived from wild Linum species with small habitats or insignificant thicket density. Currently, information on the component composition and biological activity of oils or extracts has been obtained for 54 wild Linum species, belonging to 8 sections of 2 subgenera. In the aboveground and underground parts of the studied wild species of the genus Linum, the following sunstances were found: mucilage (in leaves and seeds), proteins (in seeds), vitamins (in leaves, seeds), alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, coumarins, tannins, pigments, cyanogenetic glucosides and lignans. Essential oil was isolated from the aboveground flowering parts of L. perenne L., L. ausrtiacum L., L. hirsutum L., L. pubescens Willd. ex Schult., L. tenuifolium L., and L. catharticum L. The chemosystematics does not contradict the system we previously compiled based on morphological, anatomical and molecular characteristics of Linum species. Asian and European herbal medicine traditionally uses aboveground parts of L. perenne, L. baicalense Juz., L. altaicum Ledeb. ex Juz., L. olgae Juz. and L. heterosepalum Regel. The seeds and fatty oil exhibit coating, wound-healing, mild laxative, and analgesic properties. Extracts of wild-growing Linum species, as well as their individual components, have varied bioactivity like antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, yeast-static, antiviral, cytotoxic, inhibitory, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and antioxidant. Species characterized by a high content of aryldihydronaphthalene-type lignans (a typical representative is justicidin B) have an antiviral effect and are effective against SARS-Cov-2. The yellow-flowered Linum species in the section Syllinum, with predominant aryltetralin lignans (e.g. 6-methoxypodophyllotoxin and its derivatives), exhibit anticancer activity. In the section Linopsis, L. corymbulosum Reichenb., which contains (–)-hinokinin, may prove to be an object of comprehensive research as a promising source of domestic herbal substances that can be used as adjunctive treatments in the anti-hepatitis B therapy.

The component composition of 6 species of the genus Centaurea L. s.l. (C. gontscharovii Iljin, C. modesti Fed., C. phyllopoda Iljin, C. ruthenica Lam., C. scabiosa L., C. sibirica L.) growing in Siberia and Central Asia was studied. For the species C. modesti, C. phyllopoda, C. gontscharovii, the component composition was determined for the first time. Using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), 24 phenolic compounds were identified in the aerial parts of the studied species, of which 15 are flavonoids, and 9 are phenolic acids. Ethyl gallate was identified in all studied species. For Central Asian species, except for C. gontscharovii, the presence of avicularin, baicalin, and apigenin is characteristic. Gallic acid was identified in all species except C. sibirica. Chlorogenic acid was characteristic of all species except C. modesti. Syringin, salipurposide, avicularin, baicalin, and apigenin were found in C. ruthenica and C. phyllopoda. Dihydromyricitin was identified in C. ruthenica from Kazachstan only, eriodictyol and ellagic acid were identified in C. scabiosa, and fumaric and salicylic acids were identified in C. phyllopoda. In the studied species, the content of phenolic compounds in terms of dry raw materials was 0.6–6.7%.
Hillforts in the settlement system of the Sambian-Natangian culture of the South-Eastern Baltics in the 1st millennium AD
Authors: Khomyakova Olga A.
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the settlement system of the Sambian-Natangian culture of the South-Eastern Baltic region in the 1st millennium AD, the role of hillforts in it, and the structure of individual settlement centres. Hillforts are considered as dominants in the cultural landscape; together with unfortified settlements and economic zones they formed single districts. Burial grounds were located on the periphery of such centres. Individual settlement centres produced clusters of sites in the locations of amber gathering on the Kaliningrad Peninsula, along the Pregol River and the Kaliningrad Bay coast, which were important for the control of transport routes. This system was quite stable and could exist for a long period during the 1st millennium, evolving into the settlement system of the early medieval Prussians.
Women’s belt from mound 12 of the Belorechensk burial ground
Authors: Teplyakova Anastassia N.
Published: July 2024

The article focuses on the analysis of a belt and a silver belt set from a female burial of mound 12 of the Belorechensk burial ground (excavations by Nikolai Veselovsky in 1896) now kept in the collection of the State Hermitage Museum. There was a medieval principality of the Circassians known as Kremuk located in the middle reaches of the Kuban River, in the vicinity of the modern cities of Maikop and Belorechensk. The belt was found in one of the richest female burials which probably belonged to a noble Circassian woman. The burial can be dated not earlier than the second third of the 15th – early 16th century AD. It is a women’s belt, as it lacks details typical for men’s military belts – accessories necessary for mounting weapons. It is possible that it was assembled from different parts: the plaques constitute one complex, the tip and buckle are from another one. The place of production of the belt, both silver fittings and braid, can be defined as the Black Sea region. Sash fabrics can be either imported or produced in the workshops of the Northern Black Sea region.

Published: July 2024

The article is focused on the study of the alloy composition and the peculiarities of the manufacturing technique of metal objects uncovered during the excavation in the crypt in the northern part of the Panticapaeum necropolis. Based on the results of research on the details of funeral wreaths with natural science methods, it was established that they were made of gold of a fairly high standard. The use of such an alloy in the Roman period was recorded for items from the excavations at the Panticapaeum and Phanagoria necropolises. Bosporan jewellers made parts of funeral wreaths by mechanical processing: in the beginning, a metal sheet was forged, after that they cut out items of the required shape from it and applied an embossed ornament. Bronze objects found in the crypt, which were used by their owner during his lifetime, are mostly cast. They are made of pure copper, brass, tin-lead and lead-tin bronzes.
To studying coins of the Grand Principalty of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal (late 14th – early 15th century AD)
Authors: Gaidukov Petr G. , Grishin Igor V. , Kudryavtsev Andrey A. , Ushankov Evgeny M.
Published: July 2024

The article considers the results of years-long study in the coinage of the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal Principality of the late 14th – early 15th century AD (prior to the monetary reform of the early 1410s). About 17,500 coins were involved in the study, systematized and divided into four groups. The first group includes sovereign coinage from the period of independence of the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal Principality (5107 items), the second one includes monetary issues of Moscow governors after the annexation of Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow for the period of 1392–1410 (3074 coins), and the third one comprises anepigraphic coins of the late 14th – early 15th century AD, largely unidentified by issuer and place of their coinage (5427 coins). Bilateral imitations of Jochid dirhams (more than 3800 coins; some of which are associated with coins of the main groups due to common stamps) are not considered in the paper.
Openwork clasp from the Abakumlevo hoard of the 5th Century AD (Vladimir Region): technology and archaeological context
Authors: Morozov Aleksandr S. , Zaytseva Irina E.
Published: July 2024

The article considers a round openwork clasp from a hoard of ornaments of the Volga-Finnish women’s attire found in 2021 in the village of Abakumlevo 3 (Suzdal District of Vladimir Region). Currently, the clasp as the entire complex of hoard items is not a typical find on the territory of Suzdal Opolye. The authors conducted a technological analysis of the ornament and made a review of items similar in appearance from the Volga-Finnish sites. The features of the formation of a wax model were studied and the composition of the metal in the clasp was determined. The review of openwork clasps with a similar design and individual ornamental elements showed that the formation of the appearance of the clasp from the Abakumlevo Hoard dates back to the late 4th – early 5th century AD, and all structural elements find analogies, first of all, in the ornamentation of the Ryazan-Oka archaeological culture. Breast clasps recorded to the north and northeast of the main area of the above culture can be considered as markers of the migration directions of the Middle Oka region’s population, actively influencing the surrounding Volga-Finnish population related to the former.
B.S. Zhukov in the history of Russian archaeology: to the scientist’s anniversary
Authors: Kuzminykh Sergey V. , Lopatina Olga A.
Published: July 2024

B.S. Zhukov is one of the key figures in Russian archaeology of the 1920s. Palaeoethnological field of research at Moscow University was established by D.N. Anuchin who suggested his famous triad, a synthesis of prehistoric archaeology, anthropology and ethnography. In the early 1920s, Zhukov, his disciple, went further and put the teacher’s ideas into practice by proposing a research programme and building a team of young researchers – archaeologists, anthropologists, ethnologists, and experts in other areas. The leader of the palaeoethnological school, B.S. Zhukov did not only absorbed Anuchin’s idea of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of humans in their past and present development, but also implemented it in the course of large-scale complex expeditions and in-depth research. Zhukov’s school as a special research direction was developing for a short period in the mid and second half of the 1920s. However, it raised a generation of archaeologists, anthropologists and ethnologists, who made an invaluable contribution to the development of Russian and world science.
Sustainability in the Cleaning World: With Tomorrow in Mind
Authors: Aron Diana M.
Published: July 2024

Starting from the idea of „sustainability culture”2by Stephen Ashkin, the Father of Green Cleaning3, in which the actions and choices we make are defining for improving health and the environment, I conducted a study that explores the behind-the-scenes stories of a company in the cleaning industry. In this movement, the major battles are fought by the staff in middle and top management, but the weapons are in the hands of the cleaning agents. It is a process that involves numerous efforts and requires significant resources to minimize costs, streamline activities, and reduce waste. All of this is because, in the battle against filth, „the choices we make -- from our daily actions and words to the things we buy and ultimately throw away -- really do matter” 4 (Stephen Ashkin).

The Sociology of Managerial Communication in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Iosif Liliana
Published: July 2024

Managerial communication has undergone concurrent evolution with organizational theories, starting from the twentieth century. Technological progress, evidenced by the emergence of computers and the expansion of networks, has diversified communication methods in the digital era. Subsequent research has focused on sociological theories such as the classical management theory by Fayol and Weber, the Human Relations Theory, and McGregor's X and Y theory. Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) fundamentally alters managerial communication, bringing increased efficiency, predictive analytics, and automation. A study at MASPEX Romania highlights the positive impact of AI on reporting and collaboration processes. However, ethical dilemmas arise, including those related to privacy and social impact, necessitating regulation and heightened attention. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact and implications of Artificial Intelligence in the context of managerial communication in organizations.

Authors: Murzea Cristinel I.
Published: July 2024

The young national Romanian state would reaffirm itself in the first decades of the 20th century as a factor of equilibrium and of collective security in the Balkan Peninsula, in the context of the two wars which were about to begin (1912;1913), both conflicts which would precede the greatest diplomatic and military conflict known to international society until that time, namely the First World War (1914-1918). Romania acted in accordance with the principles of public international law regarding its external policy to maintain its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of state built from the ruins of the former Ottoman Empire, thus acting for the respect of the status quo in the Balkan area according to the regulations of international treaties, seen as formal sources of law.
Development of Scientific Thinking in Contemporary University Education: An Amplified Analysis
Authors: Sanduleac Sergiu
Published: July 2024

The present paper elucidates the issue of developing scientific thinking in contemporary university education systematically, taking into account certain principles. The problem of forming scientific thinking in university education resides in two aspects. The first is related to students, their attitudes, skills, and motivation to develop scientific thinking. The second aspect concerns the ability of highly qualified teaching staff to ensure optimal development of scientific thinking in students. In this context, several internal and external factors contributing to the development of scientific thinking in university education are presented. As a result, three directions of intervention are proposed to shape scientific thinking at the initial and continuous training stage. As a basis, the analysis of the Domain-Specific Learning Model is proposed, which would allow students to assimilate scientific concepts limited to the field of their studies.

Indonesia's location on the equator is exposed to a high UV index, which triggers various health problems due to ultraviolet radiation, including melanoma. Melanoma is the 5th deadliest cancer that develops from the malignant transformation of melanin in oxidative stress conditions. Therefore, antioxidants are needed. Calabash is a natural exogenous antioxidant with an IC₅₀ value of 80.21 µg/mL (strong activity). Optimal formulations of cream containing calabash are determined by the concentration of ingredients and the selection of comprehensive analytical methods. This research aims to optimize cream preparations of calabash leaves ethanol extract with varying concentrations of Cremophor RH 40 as a surfactant using the multilevel categoric-one factor method. The cream was made with Cremophor RH 40 concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The cream was made by mixing the water phase (Nipagin, Glycerine, and Aquadest) and the oil phase (Cremophor RH 40, BHT, IPM, Cetostearyl alcohol, and Nipasol) after both phases reached a temperature of 60ºC in mixer speed no 1 for 15 minutes then followed by adding calabash leaves ethanolic extract until a homogeneous cream was formed. The parameters observed were organoleptic, homogeneity, the type of cream, pH, viscosity, dispersibility, and adhesion. The viscosity, dispersibility, and adhesion were chosen as the parameters for the formula optimization. The cream of calabash ethanolic extract was shown as green, homogeneous semi-solid with a soft texture and distinctive aroma, and was an oil-in-water (O/W) type cream. The average pH of 5.6 was suitable for facial skin. The viscosity value increased with increasing surfactant concentration while dispersibility decreased. The results of formula optimization obtained the optimum formula was FIII with a concentration of Cremophor RH 40 of 15% and a desirability value of 0,896.

Resveratrol has potential activity as an antioxidant. Several studies have formulated resveratrol into topical preparations, but the low solubility of resveratrol causes low release of the active substance. Dimethylsulfoxide is a widely used ingredient in topical preparations, which can be used to increase the solubility of poorly soluble substances Nanocream is a nanoparticle-based topical drug delivery. The globule size is nanoscale, which can help improve drug solubility. The aim of the research was to conduct a comparative dissolution study between resveratrol nanocream formula and resveratrol conventional cream preparation with the addition of dimethylsulfoxide at various concentrations of 3%, 5% and 7%. The research method began with formulating resveratrol nanocream preparation. The preparation consisted of lipid components dispersed into a cream base. The lipids consisted of VCO, tween 80 and propylenglycol. Loading drug of resveratrol lipid was 300 mg, then tested for transimtance value and globule size. Conventional resveratrol cream formula was made into FI, FII and FIII, where each formula used different concentration of DMSO. Physical characteristics testing was conducted on nanocream and conventional resveratrol cream.Analysis of dissolution test results was observed among FI, FII and FIII in conventional cream formulas. The dissolution test results of these three formulas were also compared with the resveratrol nanocream preparation. Observation of dissolution results was assessed from the percentage of active substance released at minutes 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60.The dissolution test results showed that there was no significant difference in the percentage of active substance released between the conventional resveratrol cream preparation formulas, but there was a significant difference between the three conventional resveratrol cream preparation formulas and the resveratrol nanocream preparation.
