Authors: Pietsch Marcus , Aydin Burak , Gümüş Sedat
Published: October 2023

Aggregated data meta-analyses indicate a correlation between instructional leadership and student achievement. However, it is unclear to what extent this relationship can be generalized across cultural contexts, as most primary studies stem from Anglophone regions. Drawing on international large-scale assessment data, this 3-level individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis examines this relationship over a 6-year period using a sample of 1.5 million students in more than 50,000 schools from 75 countries. The findings show that the mean correlation is close to 0 and that the relationship between instructional leadership and student achievement varies significantly across contexts. This is mainly due to the level of human development and cultural factors. Implications for policy, practice, and education research are discussed.
The Applicability of Multiple MCDM Techniques for Implementation in the Priority of Road Maintenance
Authors: Hasan Ali Ezzat , Jaber Firas Khairy
Published: October 2023

Priority of road maintenance can be viewed as a process influenced by decision-makers with varying decision-making power. Each decision-maker may have their view and judgment depending on their function and responsibilities. Therefore, determining the priority of road maintenance can be thought of as a process of MCDM. Regarding the priority of road maintenance, this is a difficult MCDM problem involving uncertainty, qualitative criteria, and possible causal relationships between choice criteria. This paper aims to examine the applicability of multiple MCDM techniques, which are used for assessing the priority of road maintenance, by adapting them to this sector. Priority of road maintenance problems subject to internal uncertainty caused by imprecise human judgments will be reviewed and investigated, as well as the most popular theories and methods in group MCDM for presenting uncertain information, creating weights for decision criteria, examining causal relationships, and ranking alternatives. The study concluded that through the strengths and weaknesses reached, fuzzy set theory is the most appropriate and best used in modeling uncertain information. In addition, the methods that are employed the most common in the literature that has been done to explore the correlations between decision criteria have been examined, and it is concluded that the fuzzy best-worst method may be utilized in this research. The Fuzzy VIKOR approach is most likely the best method for ranking the decision alternatives.

Published: October 2023

This study is set in a rapidly evolving digital world where websites have become vital, especially in the hotel industry. Hotel industries utilize websites to capture guests' first impressions through a welcome message. As a result, the study probed the typical rhetorical strategies (moves and steps) and the frequently used phrases or clauses in each move and step in the welcome messages on the websites of selected hotels in Western Visayas, where this region is set to claim a significant role in the tourist industry, attracting both local and foreign visitors. Using Google, the researchers used purposeful sampling to gather eligible hotel websites with welcome messages in Western Visayas. For the qualitative data, this study used Swale's Move-Step approach. The result shows that the welcome messages follow a common pattern. The researchers discovered that the corpora have four moves, and each move has one to three steps. These moves and steps represent the typical strategies of hotels' welcome messages. However, the phrases being used, especially the modifiers, vary in their exact formulation but convey the same underlying intention. This study reveals the structured language strategies employed by Western Visayas hotels in their website welcome messages. These findings have implications for ESP education, helping tailor language instruction for the hospitality industry. It aids educators in designing effective language learning strategies in line with evolving communication conventions, enhancing ESP education for specific professions.

Seroprevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Viral Diarrhea in the Dairy Cattle of Rupandehi District of Nepal
Authors: Tandan P. , Paudel Madhav
Published: October 2023

Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is a contagious disease caused by Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), which significantly impacts cattle health and productivity, leading to substantial economic losses for farmers. The Rupandehi district in Nepal, which shares an open border with India, is particularly vulnerable to the introduction and spread of BVD. Consequently, the objective of this research was to examine the prevalence of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) infections and the associated risk factors that contribute to it in the Rupandehi district of Nepal. A two-phase random sampling method was used, where a total of 92 blood samples were obtained from female cattle from Devdaha, Sainamaina, Tilottama, and Suddhodhan Municipality. Serological testing using ID-Screen® BVD p80 Antibody Competition ELISA revealed that 10 samples (10.86%) tested positive for BVDV infection. Cattle aged over 5 years exhibited a higher seroprevalence rate in comparison to other age groups of 3-5 years and < 3 years. Notably, Holstein (26.7%) and Holstein cross (15.4%) cattle exhibited a significantly higher prevalence compared to jersey, jersey cross, and indigenous cattle (p<0.05). None of the assessed risk factors, including repeat breeding (infertility), history of abortion, history of retained placenta, diarrhea, and neonatal death, were found to be statistically significant in relation to the seroprevalence. The findings of this study indicate a comparatively higher seroprevalence rate than previous studies conducted in Nepal. Furthermore, the farmers of the affected herds displayed a lack of awareness regarding BVD and its presence on their farms. These results emphasize the urgent need for the relevant authorities to recognize BVD as a serious issue and take necessary nationwide measures for its control and eradication.

Authors: Sah Ashok , Gurung Prakash
Published: October 2023

The experiment was conducted in Ratuwamai Municipality, Morang, Nepal to assess the impact of various cropping systems on soil fertility and nutrient status. Four different cropping systems (Rice-Wheat-Rice, Rice-Mustard-Maize, Rice-Maize and Rice-Mustard-Rice) were selected as treatments and all treatments were replicated five times in Randomized Complete Block Design. Soil samples from 0-15 cm depth were collected from each site and evaluated for soil pH, Soil Organic Matter content (SOM), Total Nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), available potassium (K), sand silt and clay content. All the tested parameters except Soil N content, sand content and clay content were found to be significantly affected by the cropping system. The soil in all four cropping systems were found acidic in nature with pH ranging from (4.18-4.48). The Soil Organic Matter was recorded highest (1.84%) from Rice-Maize based system and lowest amount of Soil Organic Matter was observed in Rice-Mustard-Rice based system. The highest N content (0.19%) was recorded from the Rice-Mustard-Maize cropping system and the lowest N content (0.02%) was recorded from Rice-Wheat-Rice cropping system which is statistically similar to Rice-Mustard-Rice based cropping system. The highest P content (163.95kg/ha) was recorded from Rice-Mustard-Maize and the lowest (75.28kg/ha) was recorded from Rice-Mustard-Rice based cropping system. The highest K content (169.18kg/ha) was recorded from Rice-Mustard-Rice cropping system and the lowest K content (57.76kg/ha) was observed in Rice-Wheat-Rice based system. The highest silt content (48.38%) was recorded from Rice-Mustard-Maize cropping system. The result indicated that the Soil Organic Matter, Nitrogen and Potassium were found to be deficit nutrients in all the cropping system.

Authors: Pandit Anup , Tangbetani Laila Lama , Dangol Nhuchhe Man Singh , Ranjit Sudina
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Anogenital wart (AGW) is the infection of the anal and genital mucosa and their adjoining areas by Human papilloma virus (HPV) 6, 11. Genital HPV infections are transmitted primarily through sexual contact. This study determines the clinicoepidemiological profile and sexual behavior patterns in patients with AGW.
Materials and Methods: A hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in patients diagnosed with AGW attending the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Bir Hospital between November 2019 and December 2020.  
Results: A total of 77 patients including 58 males and 19 females diagnosed with AGW were studied. The warts were recorded more commonly in married individuals (62.3%). The most common sites of warts were penis (84.5% of males) and vulva (57.9% of females) followed by perianal skin, and perineum in both males and females. Of the various morphologies, dome shaped warts were most commonly observed (58.6% in males and 73.7% in females). The individuals with extramarital contacts were at significantly more risk of AGW than those without such contacts (P =0.001). AGW cases were seen more frequent in patients with syphilis and HIV (7.8% and 2.6% respectively) compared to general population.
Conclusion: Genital warts were more common in 16 – 25 years of age, mostly married, and polygamous. Like all STD (sexually transmitted diseases), Genital warts (GWs) have important effects on the health of society and quality of life. Hence, awareness of the clinical presentations, sexual aspects, and possible risk factors of GWs leads to the use of effective protection measures.

Международное право и коммерческое суррогатное материнство: запрещать или разрешать
Authors: Сейдинова М.А.
Published: October 2023

Интенсивное развитие международных коммерческих соглашений о суррогатном материнстве создало серьезные этические и юридические дилеммы в отношении гражданства детей, рожденных суррогатными матерями, и отцовства детей, зачатых в соответствии с условиями коммерческого суррогатного материнства, а также возникновением проблемы потенциальной эксплуатации суррогатных матерей. В статье эти проблемы рассмотрены через призму международного права в области прав человека, чтобы выявить, следует ли государству применять запретительный или разрешительный подход в отношении этой практики. Автор статьи определяет коммерческое суррогатное материнство как практику или договоренность, согласно которой предполагаемый родитель (родители) выплачивает суррогатной матери прямо или через посредника финансовое вознаграждение сверх фактических личных расходов, понесенных суррогатной матерью. Утверждается, что право на неприкосновенность частной жизни является достаточно широким, чтобы охватывать право на заключение соглашения о суррогатном материнстве. Однако государства могут ограничить это право, если это необходимо для защиты  прав других лиц и/или защиты общественной морали. В этом контексте коммерческое суррогатное материнство проблематично по нескольким причинам. Во-первых, имеются веские основания полагать, что это равносильно продаже ребенка. Во-вторых, есть доводы, что коммерческое суррогатное материнство неприемлемо с моральной точки зрения, поскольку усиливает гендерное неравенство. Сложно обеспечить достаточную защиту от потенциальной эксплуатации суррогатных матерей (особенно в развивающихся странах, где женщины часто соглашаются на коммерческое суррогатное материнство по причине бедности). Если любой из этих аргументов будет принят, то в рамках международного права можно требовать от государств запретить коммерческое суррогатное материнство. Более того, даже если эти аргументы останутся спорными, они все же могут полагаться на эти аргументы для оправдания запрета коммерческого суррогатного материнства. Этот вывод имеет серьезные последствия для любого потенциального многостороннего договора, регулирующего международное коммерческое суррогатное материнство, если только он не запрещает эту практику, и в этом случае его полезность будет ограничена, учитывая практически отсутствие спроса на международное альтруистическое суррогатное материнство.
Некоторые вопросы обеспечения законности нормативных правовых актов исполнительных органов
Authors: Билялова М.И. , Мусилимова К.С.
Published: October 2023

В условиях проводимых глубинных преобразований в общественно-политической жизни Республики Казахстан, конституционной реформы, коренной модернизации системы государственного управления на принципах «человекоцентричной» модели особую актуальность приобретают вопросы законности нормотворческой деятельности исполнительных органов, олицетворяющих самую многочисленную и разветвленную ветвь государственной власти. При-надлежность нормативных правовых актов исполнительных органов, с одной стороны, к средствам осуществления задач и функций исполнительной власти, а с другой — к одному из элементов механизма правового регулирования обусловливает важность научно-теоретического исследования их юридической природы, реального достижения целей и задач государственного управления при строгом соблюдении принципа законности в процессе их подготовки и издания. Проанализировано понятие нормативного правового акта исполнительных органов как средства правового регулирования в сфере государственного управления; исследованы наиболее типичные нарушения законности, допускаемые субъектами исполнительной власти; предложены меры по совершенствованию организационно-правового механизма обеспечения требований законности к нормотворческой деятельности исполнительных органов, устранению последствий путем отмены и (или) приостановления незаконных актов во внесудебном и судебном порядке.
Avaliação da autoestima por medida implícita: aplicação do Function Acquisition Speed Test (FAST)
Authors: Marcelino Madeleine Reinert , Elias Nassim Chamel
Published: October 2023

Autoestima pode ser medida por diversos testes de medida explícita, mas também vem sendo avaliada através de testes de medida implícita. O Function Aquisition Speed Test (FAST) tem sido utilizado pela literatura para acessar medidas implícitas, como os estereótipos de gênero. Os objetivos desse estudo foram verificar se o FAST é sensível a relações que participam do conceito de autoestima e comparar seus resultados com a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (EAR). Foi realizada a aplicação remota de uma versão do FAST com 50 estudantes universitários, junto com a EAR. Os resultados mostraram que os estudantes mostraram autoestima positiva tanto no FAST quanto na EAR, mas não houve correlação estatística entre os resultados dessas medidas. Os resultados apontam que o FAST pode ser usado para estudar autoestima e que ele mede um tipo de autoestima diferente da EAR.

A portal pressure gradient of more than 10 mmHg is defined as "clinically significant portal hypertension" due to manifestations such as splenomegaly, gastroesophageal varices, ascites, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatopulmonary syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of portal hypertension among patients with chronic liver disease admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine of a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with chronic liver disease in the Department of Internal Medicine of a tertiary care centre from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
Results: Among 247 patients with chronic liver disease, the prevalence of portal hypertension was 38 (15.38%) (10.88-19.88, 95% Confidence Interval). A total of 16 (42.11%) patients were in the age group of 51-60 years and males were 36 (94.74%). Ascites as a complication were found in 4 (10.53%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of portal hypertension among chronic liver disease inpatients in a tertiary care centre was found to be lower than other studies done in international settings.

Authors: Gómez Romero Celeste , Rodríguez Lluís Juan , Pérez Talia Marcos
Published: October 2023

En los países de las Américas, la participación de las juventudes en la esfera política y partidaria suele verse limitada por barreras legales e institucionales como la edad mínima para presentarse a cargos, la falta de medidas de acción afirmativa y la exclusión de la toma de decisiones en los partidos políticos y otras organizaciones. La investigación analiza las buenas prácticas y las estrategias implementadas por los partidos políticos de las Américas para promover la participación significativa de las personas jóvenes en la esfera política y partidaria. Para este objetivo, se ha realizado un análisis de la normativa interna y las prácticas de 314 partidos políticos con representación parlamentaria en 33 países del continente americano. Sin pretender ser exhaustiva, la investigación explora de manera amplia el conjunto de mecanismos partidarios para promover la participación juvenil tanto en su estructura interna como sus acciones a lo largo del ciclo electoral. Se complementa con recomendaciones dirigidas a los actores políticos para fortalecer los derechos políticos y la participación de las personas jóvenes.

Expansive fiscal policy causes government expenditure to accelerate faster than its revenue. Debt is the most common alternative used by a country in financing a budget deficit. Fiscal policy is said to be sustainable if the government is able to manage its debt and financing so that it does not burden the budget in the future. This study aims to determine the effect of debt and macroeconomic variables on fiscal sustainability in Indonesia in 1986-2020. The data used is secondary data in the form of time series obtained from the APBN, IMF, the Ministry of Finance, and The World Bank. This research uses Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) analysis method. The conclusion of this study shows that in the long term, the government is less able to respond to the increase in debt burden so that fiscal policy in the 1990-2021 period is not sustainable. In addition, debt ratios, oil prices, economic growth, and interest rates each have a significant effect on the primary balance ratio. Meanwhile, the exchange rate has no significant effect on the primary balance ratio.

Representation of suicide in suicide memes
Authors: Govorov S. A.
Published: October 2023

The present article provides an overview of current research on suicide memes, their role in the formation of suicidal ideation, as well as their impact on the Internet users’ mental health in general. The model of “cyber suicide contagion” by P. Marsden is applied to assessing memes’ suicidogenic potential. According to this model, it depends on the emotional representation of suicide in a meme. Currently existing suicide memes’ classifications are being reviewed and assessed for their further development and practical application. The following theoretical classification of suicide memes is proposed: non-humorous “pro-suicidal”, non-humorous “anti-suicidal” (such as used in suicide prevention organizations), humorous suicide memes. It is hypothesized that emotional representations of suicide in humorous memes: 1) vary in different memes; 2) are determined by individual perception; 3) both positive and negative aspects of suicide representation need to be present in order for a comical effect to occur. Presumably, in case of humorous suicide memes, a more complex perception of suicide arises, which may simultaneously reflect a presence of suicidal thoughts and a critical attitude towards them. A number of modern studies is analyzed, highlighting positive and negative aspects of suicide memes’ impact on mental health. It is concluded that suicide’s representation in a meme is not the only factor determining its suicidogenic potential.

Published: October 2023

The results of studies of the Grit scale (perseverance and perseverance in achieving long-term goals) show its significant relationship with academic performance and career success. However, emotional instability can reduce the chances of achieving these goals. The paper examines the features of the correlation between the Grit scale and the Neuroticism scale (a general tendency to negative emotional reactions). Using linear regression, we analyze data from the survey of the NTI University 2035 platform users (391 respondents). The data from the whole sample reveals the following patterns: high indicators on the Depressiveness and Vulnerability scales are negatively effect Grit and, hence, reduce perseverance in achieving goals regardless of gender. When studying the relationships separately for men and women, we found that Anxiety can be a significant obstacle for men, whereas for women, this indicator is insignificant.
