BACKGROUND: Computational research plays an important role in predicting the chemical and physical properties of biologically active compounds important in future structural modifications to improve or modify biological activity. OBJECTIVE: This research focuses on quantum chemical and spectroscopic investigations properties of synthesized 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives. METHODS: Quantum chemical calculations were obtained using B3LYP, HF, and M06-2x level methods with the 6-31++G (d,p) basis set. Afterward, IR, 1H, 13C, UV-Visible experimentally parameters were compared with the results obtained using the B3LYP/6-31+G*(d) basis set of the molecules to be able to characterize the structures. RESULTS: Based on the quantum chemical calculations compound with acetamido group on the phenyl ring is the most reactive, and compound with nitro substituent is the least reactive and the the strongest electrophile among tested compounds. With the exception of compounds with dimethylamino group, all other compounds have a pronounced tautomer between OH and C = O group. The calculated and experimental values are in agreement with each other. CONCLUSION: The molecular structure in the ground state of six 3-cinnamoyl 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives was optimized using density functional theory. The observed and computed values were compared and it can be concluded that the theoretical results were in good linear agreement with the experimental data.

I draw on my experience with postgraduate students and also engage with extant work in anthropology, sociology, and social semiotics, though the principal concerns of the essay are conceptual. I present three ‘relational spaces’, of which two are seeing their first published outing in this paper.
Working on the Root System of Social Connections in a Community
Authors: Russell Cormac , Hofman Joop
Published: February 2024

This manuscript explores the transformative potential of neighbourhoods as pivotal units of societal change, employing the metaphor of a forest’s root system to highlight the intricate web of social connections foundational to vibrant communities. Advocating for an asset-based, relational strategy, it underscores the importance of nurturing community connections to foster belonging, mutual support, and collective efficacy. Through the lens of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and the case of the Voorstad neighbourhood in Deventer, Netherlands, it demonstrates how grassroots initiatives can create sustainable, inclusive communities. By urging policymakers and practitioners to prioritize relationships as the cornerstone for addressing complex social challenges, this work suggests a nuanced approach for building more connected, resilient, and democratic societies.

This article presents the practical experience of applying some techniques of cognitive visuality in teaching English to students of non-linguistic specialties. The significant number of assignments and their advantages are investigated on the example of presented visual materials in S. Gorlin’s textbook “Nuclear English”. Each lesson in the textbook contains completely new material related to the nuclear power plant, nuclear structure of plants, uranium mining, management of nuclear reactors, nuclear waste recycling, and conflicts during mining. The above topics for study require the use of cognitive visuality to understand the content of the texts and improvise the whole course of the sequence of work. Visual information (illustrations, graphs, cartoons, pictures, infographics, videos, flip charts, slides, and presentations) encourages the use of intellectual capacity, critical thinking, active imagination, creative approach to information transfer. The study revealed that the main purpose of applying cognitive visuality is not to recreate new material but to construct material for learning simply. The application of cognitive visuality elements promotes clear learning of lexical material and stimulates visual perception to memorize the studied topics
Linguocultural function of taboo in cognition of nation
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kashkeyeva A. , Kulzhanova B. ,   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University
Published: February 2024

The concept of “taboo” is one of the basic concepts in the linguistic picture of the world and is of great importance both for an individual linguistic personality and for the linguistic community as a whole. Taboo means “sacred” or “untouchable” in Tongan and comes from superstitions and various fears. This is a ban not only on the concept, but also on the name of this concept in the language, that is, on the word. Since knowledge in general can be defined as a socially and historically formed human attitude to the world, the study examines the linguistic and cultural features of prohibitions and taboos arising from folk knowledge. The main goal is to focus on the problem of taboos in consciousness, to compare the worldview and understanding of the ban by Kazakhs, to determine the linguistic, linguistic, cultural, educational values of taboos based on the continuity of knowledge and traditions. As a result of the research, it was proved that the phenomenon is viable and it needs to be studied from both an ethnographic and linguistic point of view. The differences between taboos and euphemisms are shown. Functional-semantic, cognitive models of analysis in this study can be used in the field of lexicology.

Authors: Padmanabhan Veenashankari , Dev Bhawna , Garg Mehak , Ingole Sanjeevani , Gnanavel Harini
Published: February 2024

Background: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the breast is a rare condition that is usually incidentally detected as discoloration of the skin. Patients are asymptomatic, and it is mostly left undisturbed. However, the closest differential diagnosis of primary angiosarcoma of the breast can have a similar imaging appearance. Multimodality imaging will help to differentiate between the two, and in very few cases, tissue diagnosis warrants confirmation.
Case presentation: We hereby report the case of a young female who initially presented with swelling and discoloration near her face and neck and who, on a one-year follow-up, incidentally noticed discoloration over her left breast. She underwent an ultrasound, a dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of both breasts and a dedicated left breast X-ray mammogram.
Conclusion: With all these modalities confirmed, the discoloration was caused by an AVM of the breast.

Authors: Niaz Rabia , Somroo Rufina , Tariq Manahil
Published: February 2024

Background: Round block technique (RBT) is a versatile technique for the excision of benign and malignant breast lesions with oncologic safety. Although a technically challenging procedure, it has the benefit of an inconspicuous scar and desirable aesthetic outcomes and wider exposure for tissue resection and remodelling. This study discusses the utility of RBT for the excision of different pathologies, complications, and cosmetic outcomes as it is underutilized in the developing countries.
Methods: The study was conducted at the breast surgery clinic, at Liaquat National Hospital. All patients with benign (fibroadenomas, benign phyllodes) or malignant (carcinoma, malignant phyllodes) lesions undergoing the round block technique were included. The clinical size, site, distance from the nipple, pathology, pathological size, and margin status were recorded. Early and late complications were documented during the follow-up. At the time of the final study analysis, patients were interviewed for cosmetic outcome satisfaction using the Harvard scale (4-point Likert score)
Results: Overall, 49 patients were included in the study over 2.5 years. The mean clinical tumor size was 4.72cm, of which 63% were in the upper quadrant, and the average distance from the areolar margin was 1.71cm. The pathology included 21 fibroadenomas and 18 carcinomas, with the mean size of 4.14cm. Early complications were seen in 12 cases, and late complications were observed in 2 cases which were all managed conservatively. The cosmetic outcome was found to be fair by 6.1% of the patients, good by 87%, and excellent by the 6.1% of them.
Conclusion: RBT is a technically challenging procedure but is easily adaptable. It provides good exposure for excision of both benign and malignant tumors of the breast while maintaining the oncologic safety margin and good cosmesis, especially for young patients with large lesion in the upper inner quadrant.
SEARCH FOR NEW SOURCES OF VALUE CREATION AND SOCIAL VALUE IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL MARKET
Authors:   Social Sciences Akademy, Łódź, Poland, Petecki Ignacy , Mnykh Olha ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: February 2024

Since the beginning of the 21st century, scientific discussions on the issues of sustainable economic development and socially responsible investing have intensified. This is explained by the lack of a direct correlation between GDP growth and environmental sustainability, which harms the natural environment and has a weak impact on the quality of society's life. The global business practice demonstrates new trends in the development of high-tech markets, the increased intensity of processes of market capitalization of innovative companies, and the multiplication of consumer capital of their clients, leading not only to a redistribution of power among global players in industrial and consumer markets but also creating new barriers to access to raw material resources. In the era of society's informatization and the accelerated replacement of technology generations, the processes of functioning and development of socio-economic systems are carried out in close interaction of all factors of production and various mechanisms of distribution of production, logistics, and marketing opportunities. Liberalization of foreign economic activity has affected the target orientation of the development of domestic markets, where the state increasingly relies on market mechanisms and introduces new incentives for private initiatives and industrial privatization, removing restrictions on trade and distribution activities. The openness of the country's national economy poses urgent tasks for redirecting capital flows (both public and private), attracting investors to environmentally friendly choices of innovative investment projects, and ensuring more sustainable entrepreneurial activities. The efficiency of using all factors of production in the conditions of deepening energy and socio-ecological crisis will depend on the holistic vision of top managers of the future perspective in the development of "producer-consumer" relations, as well as the argumentation of socially oriented policies with concrete results of multiplying social value. Global economic challenges require an adequate response from production and consumption management, as well as a functional reboot of the content of "producer-consumer" relations, redistribution of risks associated with the adoption of new eco-technologies, their commercialization for long-term perspective purposes – improving the quality of life and the growth of the social value of goods.
EVOLUTION OF VIEWS ON INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY
Authors:   Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Fedorova Natalia
Published: February 2024

The modern transformational nature of the development of the social system creates uncertainty in the field of characteristics of its newest stage, which is conventionally defined as post-industrialism, as well as its future stages. For a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of the modern transformation process, as well as the determination of its driving forces, it is important to use an adequate research paradigm of the process of social evolution. The article analyzes existing approaches to determining the main institutional factors of the socio-economic development of society, which opens up the possibility of expanding the theoretical base of post-industrialism research and forecasting its main manifestations in the future. The results were obtained thanks to the application of methods: logical-historical – when studying the process of evolution of theoretical approaches to the periodization of economic development; abstractions – when characterizing the main approaches to determining groups of factors of socio-economic development of society; general and special – when establishing the unity of existing approaches regarding institutional factors of socio-economic development of society. It was established that against the background of a large number of theories regarding the main institutional factors of social progress, used in the scientific literature, each of them builds a conditional, simplified, schematic philosophical model of socio-economic evolution and its factors. Thus, among the main sources of socio-economic development of society, scientists distinguish such institutional factors as competition, economic freedom, market mechanism, property, division of labor, distribution mechanisms, social systems, associations, values, ethics, morality, justice, legal norms, contracts, administrative apparatus, science, universities, technostructures, etc. Such a variety of versions indicates the absence of a unified approach to the analysis of the process of formation and development of a new society. It requires a deeper theoretical understanding since the definition of the essence, sources, and forms of manifestation of a new stage of social development opens up prospects for a deeper understanding of its features as an environment in which the entire complex of socio-economic relations of society.

Authors: Rahman Yusuf Arief , Prasetyo Angga
Published: February 2024

The practice of plagiarism can threaten the credibility of academic documents such as final assignments, theses, theses, and dissertations. Universitas Muhammadiyah Ponorogo (UMPO) is one of the best Muhammadiyah Universities in Indonesia. All academic documents at UMPO are well stored. However, plagiarism is only found in the Turnitin database and in the title of academic documents. This research aims to pre-screen academic documents in the internal scope by creating a plagiarism application that is easy to use and cheaper in terms of cost than using Turnitin. The steps of making a plagiarism detection system in academic documents using information retrieval (IR) with waterfall development. The design process starts from system requirements analysis, design, implementation, and testing. This plagiarism detection system goes through several stages, namely tokenisation, stopword removal, stemming, and termweigthing. Tokenisation involves converting uppercase letters into lowercase letters and removing punctuation marks. Stopword removal removes noise, stemming converts words into basic forms, and termweigthing uses local and global weighting to calculate similarity with the Vector Space Model. Document similarity is calculated using cosine similarity, rejected documents are considered free of plagiarism. If there is no similarity, the document is accepted as a source document, while the rejected document is not stored in the database. Further research on the document plagiarism detection system that previously only used the txt file extension, in the future it can use the .doc or HTML extension so as to increase the effectiveness of the performance of academic document examination time.

Introduction: Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a neonatal respiratory and vascular pathology with a high mortality rate. Furthermore, its prevalence is 1 to 2 per 1000 live births, accounting for 8%-10% of neonatal deaths. The therapeutic approach involves supporting pulmonary recruitment and pharmacological vasodilation, most notably sildenafil. Methodology: The study is a narrative review of the literature that was carried out from the PUBMED database using the keywords “Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn” and “Sildenafil”, with the time filter in the last 30 years (1994- 2023). Discussion: Physiologically, during fetal life, the lungs remain filled with fluids, but immediately after birth, pulmonary vascular resistance decreases drastically, allowing alveolar oxygen tension and ventilation to be possible. However, in the pathogenesis of neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension, there is an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and remodeling of the vascular structure after birth, which potentiate this exaggerated vasoconstriction. Therefore, the standard exam for investigating the pathology is echocardiography. Sildenafil is a drug used to treat neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension, as it enhances better blood flow and better delivery of oxygen to tissues, through its physiopharmacology aimed at vasodilation secondary to inhibition of phosphodiesterase-5. Conclusion: Neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension is still one of the main neonatal pathologies with high morbidity and mortality in the neonatal population, due to the complexity of presentations and the variation in therapeutic responses to pharmacotherapy.

A importância da qualidade do sono e os seus benefícios são estudados desde a antiguidade; Hipócrates, por exemplo, considerado o pai da medicina, afirmava que a falta de sono está correlacionada com o aborrecimento, gerando um esgotamento físico e mental no ser humano. Logo, no século XXI, pode-se afirmar que o sono é um estado fisiológico normal e contribui de forma eficaz para reestabelecer o processo hemostático do organismo, englobando: termorregulação, metabolismo enérgico cerebral, solidificação da memória e visão binocular. Desta forma, recomenda-se que um adulto jovem durma cerca de sete a nove horas por noite para que os benefícios do sono sejam efetivos. Todavia, os estudantes do curso de medicina possuem dificuldades para manter esta rotina diária, pois são submetidos a uma carga horária extensiva, participando de aulas em todos os turnos (matutino, vespertino e noturno). Vale ressaltar que além das atividades diárias da faculdade, os discentes, em busca de uma boa formação acadêmica e profissional, participam de ligas acadêmicas, estágios, monitorias e iniciação científica, o que aumenta o estresse e a sobrecarga. Diante disso, o presente estudo possui como objetivo geral: avaliar a qualidade do sono e o padrão sono-vigília dos acadêmicos de medicina, a partir de uma revisão sistemática de literatura. Concluiu-se com o estudo que a grande parte dos estudantes de medicina possuem, além de uma má qualidade do sono, uma má qualidade de vida com diversos fatores estressores que contribuem para essa realidade.

Colistin is widely used for the prophylaxis and treatment of infectious disease in humans and livestock. However, the global food chain may actively promote the dissemination of colistin-resistant bacteria in the world. Mobile colistin-resistant (mcr) genes have spread globally, in both communities and hospitals. This study sought to genomically characterize mcr-mediated colistin resistance in 16 Escherichia coli strains isolated from retail meat samples using whole genome sequencing with short-read and long-read platforms. To assess colistin resistance and the transferability of mcr genes, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and conjugation experiments were conducted. Among the 16 isolates, 11 contained mcr-1, whereas three carried mcr-3 and two contained mcr-1 and mcr-3. All isolates had minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for colistin in the range 1–64 μg/mL. Notably, 15 out of the 16 isolates demonstrated successful transfer of mcr genes via conjugation, indicative of their presence on plasmids. In contrast, the KK3 strain did not exhibit such transferability. Replicon types of mcr-1-containing plasmids included IncI2 and IncX4, while IncFIB, IncFII, and IncP1 contained mcr-3. Another single strain carried mcr-1.1 on IncX4 and mcr-3.5 on IncP1. Notably, one isolate contained mcr-1.1 located on a chromosome and carrying mcr-3.1 on the IncFIB plasmid. The chromosomal location of the mcr gene may ensure a steady spread of resistance in the absence of selective pressure. Retail meat products may act as critical reservoirs of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance that has been transmitted to humans.
Symbiotic microbial communities in various locations of the lung cancer respiratory tract along with potential host immunological processes affected

Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among all cancers worldwide. The 5-year overall survival rate for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is estimated at around 26%, whereas for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the survival rate is only approximately 7%. This disease places a significant financial and psychological burden on individuals worldwide. The symbiotic microbiota in the human body has been significantly associated with the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of various diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. Studies have demonstrated that respiratory symbiotic microorganisms and their metabolites play a crucial role in modulating immune function and contributing to the pathophysiology of lung cancer through their interactions with the host. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the microbial characteristics associated with lung cancer, with a focus on the respiratory tract microbiota from different locations, including saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), bronchial brush samples, and tissue. We describe the respiratory tract microbiota’s biodiversity characteristics by anatomical region, elucidating distinct pathological features, staging, metastasis, host chromosomal mutations, immune therapies, and the differentiated symbiotic microbiota under the influence of environmental factors. Our exploration investigates the intrinsic mechanisms linking the microbiota and its host. Furthermore, we have also provided a comprehensive review of the immune mechanisms by which microbiota are implicated in the development of lung cancer. Dysbiosis of the respiratory microbiota can promote or inhibit tumor progression through various mechanisms, including DNA damage and genomic instability, activation and regulation of the innate and adaptive immune systems, and stimulation of epithelial cells leading to the upregulation of carcinogenesis-related pathways.

Introduction

Aeromonas hydrophila and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are potent bacterial pathogens posing major hazards to human health via consuming fish harboring these pathogens or by cross-contamination beyond the contaminated environment. The aim of this study was to determine risk variables associated with the presence of certain pathogenic bacteria from Mugil cephalus fish in retail markets in Egypt. The virulence genes of A. hydrophila and S. aureus were also studied. Furthermore, the antibiotic sensitivity and multidrug resistance of the microorganisms were evaluated.

Methods

In a cross-sectional investigation, 370 samples were collected from mullet skin and muscle samples, washing water, fish handlers, knives, and chopping boards. Furthermore, fish handlers’ public health implications were assessed via their response to a descriptive questionnaire.

Results

S. aureus and Aeromonas species dominated the investigated samples with percentages of 26.76% and 30.81%, respectively. Furthermore, A. hydrophila and MRSA were the predominant recovered bacterial pathogens among washing water and knives (53.85% and 46.66%, respectively). The virulence markers aerA and hlyA were found in 90.7% and 46.5% of A. hydrophila isolates, respectively. Moreover, the virulence genes nuc and mec were prevalent in 80% and 60% of S. aureus isolates, respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility results revealed that all A. hydrophila isolates were resistant to amoxicillin and all MRSA isolates were resistant to amoxicillin and ampicillin. Remarkably, multiple drug resistance (MDR) patterns were detected in high proportions in A. hydrophila (88.37%) and MRSA (100%) isolates. The prevalence of Aeromonas spp. and S. aureus had a positive significant correlation with the frequency of handwashing and use of sanitizer in cleaning of instruments. MRSA showed the highest significant prevalence rate in the oldest age category.

Conclusion

The pathogenic bacteria recovered in this study were virulent and had a significant correlation with risk factors associated with improper fish handling. Furthermore, a high frequency of MDR was detected in these pathogenic bacteria, posing a significant risk to food safety and public health.
