This study reports the concentrations of organic pollutants, nutrients, and some physicochemical parameters in water samples from Vlora Port. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, o-, m- and p-Xyelenes, Ethylbenzene) were analyzed organic pollutants. The levels of NO3-, NO2-, NH4-, N-total, PO4-, and P-total were determined. Temperature, PH, Conductivity, Turbidity, TDS, TSS DO, BOD and COD were physical-chemical parameters determined in the water samples. Vlora Port is located in the southern part of Albania in Vlora Bay, near Vlora City in the Adriatic Sea. Elevated activities in port areas (terrestrial and marine areas) are the main causes of water pollution. Urban pollution, agriculture, and water currents can influence marine water pollution in this area. To evaluate pollution levels at the port of Vlora, water samples (12 stations) were analyzed over a two-year period (2022 – 2023). Water samples were collected during two seasons: March and July of each year Analyses of organic compounds were performed using a gas chromatograph (Varian 450 GC) equipped with ECD and FID detectors. Nutrients were analyzed using the UV-VIS technique. Titration, automatic, semi-automatic, and gravimetric methods were used to determine the physicochemical parameters. Organic pollutants were detected in all the water samples. Nutrient concentrations and physicochemical values classified the marine water of Vlora’s port as moderately good. Levels of organic pollutants, nutrients, and physicochemical parameters in water samples from Vlora’s port were higher/comparable with those reported in previous studies of the Adriatic Sea (Albania coastline).

This study focuses on the investigation of the influence of the variations of ageing conditions on the mechanical properties of ferrosilicon-silicon carbide reinforced Aluminium metal matrix composites. The ageing temperature, reinforcement percentage volume fractions and ageing time of the composite were systematically varied during fabrication stages by keeping the Aluminium and Ferrosilicon compositions constant while varying the percentage volume fractions of Silicon Carbide (SiC). The samples produced were machined into hardness, impact and tensile tests specimens. Then the specimens were subjected to laboratory based accelerated solution heat treatment, quenching and artificial ageing. Array of comprehensive mechanical properties examination and characterization in line with the appropriate specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard manuals were conducted to determine the influence of ageing on the material’s strength, hardness, impact toughness and stress-strain characteristics. The study revealed significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of the material and the findings would provide valuable insight into the ageing behaviour of Aluminium-Silicon, thus, enabling the optimization of the material’s performance for use in diverse engineering applications.

Authors: Bernardo Martins Shalatiel , Mariano Martins da Silva Guilherme
Published: July 2024

Neste trabalho objetivamos mostrar a relação entre a teoria da Metaficção em narrativas fílmicas do gênero de horror conhecido como Slasher. Sob a visão de Waugh (1984), exploramos a história e os aspectos funcionais da teoria metaficcional, e usamos Hutcheon (1984) para entender como a autorreflexividade se manifesta nestas narrativas. Já nos aspectos próprios do estudo sobre o gênero em questão, utilizamos o trabalho de Ponte (2011) e de Cherry (2009) para mostrar como essas narrativas podem estar conectadas a influência do cinema na cultura e na organização social de determinados nichos de mercado. Analisamos, ao todo, recortes de 1 filme e de 2 episódios de séries do subgênero Slasher: 1- Condado Macabro de 2015; o episódio piloto de Slasher lançado em 2016 e o episódio piloto da série derivada do filme Scream de 2015.  Tendo isto em vista, discutimos as mudanças estruturais da passagem do gênero fílmico para a série televisiva, especialmente no caso da série de Wes Craven, originada de um conjunto fílmico anterior. Descobrimos que todos os objetos analisados apresentaram, de forma implícita ou explícita, uma correlação entre a Metaficção e intertextualidade, especialmente através do próprio questionamento do fazer ficção e da descrição de seus personagens, bem como da associação de símbolos como forma de comunicação.

A sharp rise in the prevalence of mixed anxiety-depressive disorder is observed during the pandemic. Along with symptoms of anxiety, asthenic complaints and cognitive impairment predominate among clinical manifestations of post-COVID-19 depression [4-7]. This drives the patients to first contact general practitioners and neurologists. In the reported clinical case a female patient, who had recently survived coronavirus infection, developed a moderate depressive episode. Antidepressant monotherapy with vortioxetine (Brintellix) as initial treatment was selected based on the polymorphic clinical picture of mood disorder that included not only clear cognitive and asthenic symptom clusters, but also anxiety symptom cluster. Furthermore, vortioxetine is compatible with anticoagulants still taken by the patient due to recommendations of general practitioner. Taking into account the patient's hypochondriacal fixation on her physical health, it is important to note that vortioxetine has no adverse effects on the function of cardiovascular system. In real clinical practice, vortioxetine (Brintellix) shows high efficacy and good tolerability when used for treatment of depressions developing after coronavirus infection.

Aim. To study the results of the course and outcomes of pregnancy in women depending on weight gain and to determine the risk of complications of the gestational period. Using the continuous sampling method, we conducted a retrospective study of the outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth in 1080 women with initially normal body weight. The initial body mass index in pregnant women of the survey group was in the parameters of 18.5–24.9. Depending on the recommended (11.5–16.0 kg) weight gain, pregnant women were divided by us into 3 subgroups: MG; GS1; GS2. The MG (363 people) included pregnant women whose total body weight gain during the entire pregnancy corresponded to the recommended weight gain parameters (11.5–16.0 kg). GS1 (543 people) included pregnant women whose total body weight gain was below the reference values (11.5 kg). GS2 (174 people) included women whose weight gain during pregnancy exceeded the reference values (16.0 kg).was carried out using the polymerase chain reaction method (Kvant-21 test). Results. With an excess of the recommended weight gain in women, parameters in which the relative risk index was more than 2 were found to be 3.5 times more than in women with a deficiency in body weight gain. These include iron deficiency anemia (8.57); gestational arterial hypertension (2.59); pregnancy-induced edema (3.2); pathology of the urinary system of inflammatory origin (3.4); ZRP (2.63); the birth of infants with a body weight of 2000 to 2499 g (2.76) and a body weight of 4500–4999g (2.77). Conclusion. Our results suggest that excess weight gain during pregnancy, even against the background of normal initial body weight, is a risk factor that has a negative impact on the condition of women and infants, to a greater extent than lack of weight gain. However, it should be noted that at present there is a certain trend towards an increase in the number of pregnant women with a lack of weight gain, which also carries certain risks for their health, although to a lesser extent than excess weight gain.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: The study examined the extent to which teamwork quality (TWQ) impacts team performance in the Agile software development space in the U.S. and how the TWQ factors (Communication, coordination of expertise, cohesion, trust, mutual support & value sharing) are ranked in terms of importance to team performance
Materials and Methods: The study used correlation and regression analysis to determine the degree of the relationship and the effect of the extended TWQ factors on Agile software team performance. Additionally, the study assessed the relative importance of the TWQ factors to team performance. Participants in the study included IT workers from the software development team in U.S. companies with in-house teams using the Agile methodology. Data was collected using an online survey through survey monkey. The data was presented through descriptive statistics and analyzed using regression analysis.
Findings: The study found all the extended TWQ factors were strongly correlated to the team performance. The analysis showed that a statistically significance predictive relationship exists between the extended TWQ factors and Agile software development team performance. However, only mutual support and value sharing contributed statistically significantly to the model. Among these factors, mutual support was ranked as the most important TWQ factor in relation to team performance, while trust was ranked as the least.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: This empirical study tested and extended the TWQ model on team performance in the Agile software development space in the U.S. for software development teams and how these TWQ factors are ranked in terms of importance to team performance. The findings provide insight to project teams and team leaders, product owners, scrum masters, and project managers about the TWQ model from the perspective of agile software development teams. The findings also address the critical TWQ factors that are needed for building effective and efficient Agile software development teams.
Exploring Hindu-Buddhist Philosophies: The Role of Quiet Ego and Non-Attachment in Fostering Resilience among Young Indians
Authors: Goswami S. , Brahmi M. , Suresh G. , Sharma G. , Kumar J.
Published: July 2024

Rooted in the profound philosophies of Hinduism and Buddhism, this research endeavors to meticulously examine the intricate interrelationships among resilience, the concept of a quiet ego, and non-attachment. The primary objective of this inquiry is to systematically elucidate the contributions of a quiet ego and non-attachment to the psychological well-being and adaptability of the contemporary younger generation confronted with a myriad of complex challenges. The aim is to discern the underlying traits that underpin resilience within the contextual framework of these venerable philosophical traditions. Central to this investigation is the transcendence of the ‘ego’ or ‘Ahaṁkāra’ in Hindu philosophy, wherein the cultivation of a self-concept that is less self-centered and more psychologically flexible assumes paramount significance in navigating adversities. Concurrently, the Buddhist principle of ‘Non-Attachment’ and its Hindu counterpart, ‘Anasakti,’ advocate for relinquishing fixations, material possessions, and desired outcomes. Embracing a psychological stance characterized by acceptance, impermanence, and liberation from life’s tumultuous nature, these principles acquire particular relevance in the Indian context. The contemporary link between a quiet ego, non-attachment, and psychological distress underscores the detrimental impact of excessive self-focus on health, as elucidated by Tayal et al. (2020). To empirically test our proposition, we recruited 200 respondents (20-25 years) from urban regions of India. Utilizing the Quiet Ego scale (QES) (Wayment & Bauer, 2014), Non-attachment scale (NA-7) (Sahdra et al., 2010), and Resilience scale (RS-14) (Wagnild & Young, 1993), our statistical analyses unveiled a robust positive correlation between Quiet Ego (QE), Non-Attachment (NA), and resilience. Furthermore, our study delved into the predictive relationship between QE and NA on resilience, revealing a statistically significant model where both factors positively influenced resilience (p<0.001). This underscores the crucial role of a quiet ego and practicing non-attachment as effective predictors of coping with life stressors. In the broader context, our findings emphasize integrating these concepts into contemplative practices and interventions for a culturally relevant and holistic approach to resilience enhancement. By exploring beyond Western paradigms and integrating principles from Indian Darshanas, such as the ‘Quiet Ego’ and ‘Non-Attachment,’ our research offers a clear and cohesive pathway to a more nuanced understanding of human resilience, facilitating effective coping strategies in the face of life’s challenges. This narrative underscores the profound potential of these cultural elements in cultivating resilience, providing valuable insights for both research and practical applications.

Published: July 2024

Tax regulation is a crucial factor in driving economic growth and societal cohesion by effectively balancing fiscal responsibilities and incentivizing behavior. The collection of financial resources through taxation serves the dual purpose of meeting fiscal needs and facilitating strategic goals in public financial management. In today’s context, establishing a strong connection between tax regulation and the improvement of living standards is essential. Enhancing the framework of tax regulation mechanisms can significantly impact socio-economic dynamics by ensuring taxation is adaptable to evolving circumstances. Fiscal authorities must prioritize improving the quality of tax administration and refining models for managing state tax risks. This article seeks to refine the mechanisms involved in shaping and implementing tax regulation with the aim of improving living standards. The study proposes that providing accessible and reliable information about tax policies and budget allocations can foster greater societal tax responsibility. Transparency in government spending helps alleviate concerns about the prudent use of taxpayer funds, ultimately influencing people’s livelihoods positively. Keywords: tax regulation, standard of living, tax regulation, tax policy, taxes, economic development, social stability.

Published: July 2024

Бұл мақалада түркі тілдері қыпшақ бұтағына кіретін қазақ және қарақалпақ тілдеріндегі ортақ сөздердің семантизациялануы қарастырылды. Мағыналық айырмашылықтар мен ұқсастықтарды дәлелдеу үшін «көз», «сана», «бас» сөздеріне аталған тілдер бойынша семантикалық талдау жасалды. Түсіндірмелі сөздіктердегі мағыналарын сипаттай отырып, мағыналық әлемі талданды, кейбіріне көркем шығармалардан мысалдар беру арқылы дәлелденді. Семантикалық талдау бір тілде ғана емес түркі тілдері әрі оның ішінде қазақ және қарақалпақ тілдеріне салыстырмалы зерттеу жасалғандығы мақаланың өзектілігін көрсетеді. Себебі бүгінде салыстырмалы-тарихи тіл білімі ғылыми зерттеулерді қажет ететін салалардың бірі. Зерттеу жұмысының нәтижесі ретінде ортақ сөздердің семантикалық табиғаты әрдайым дамып отырғандығын, бір тілдегі мағына екіншісінде кеңейгенін не тарылғанын, я болмаса мүлде өзгергенін байқадық. Бірақ тілде қандай өзгеріс болса да аталған тілдердегі сөздер өзінің түркілік түпкі негізін сақтап қалған. Кейбір сөздердің мүлде жаңа мағынаға ие болып тілдің лексикалық қорын ұлғайтқанын және сөзді жаңаша дамытқанын анықтадық.

Published: July 2024

Қазіргі таңда әлемде сақтандыру үрдісі кең қарқын алуда. Қазақстандағы сақтандыру – бұл банк секторынан кейінгі еліміздегі қаржы секторының екінші маңызды саласы болып саналады. Сақтандыру қызметтері экономикалық өмірде маңызды рөл атқарады. Бұл қызметтер экономикалық активтерді қорғауға мүмкіндік берсе, сонымен бірге корпоративті жинақты ұлғайтуға көмектеседі. Сақтандыру негізінен тәуекелдерді, шығындар мен шығындардың әсерін азайтады, қаражат жасайды және төлем балансына ықпал етеді деп айтуға болады. Осы сақтандырудың атқаратын қызметтерді ескере отырып, сақтандыру – бұл сақтанушының көзқарасы бойынша сенімділікті тудыратын, мүмкін зиянды болдырмауға бағытталған шараларды қабылдайтын, экономикада капитал жинақтауға мүмкіндік беретін және ұлттық құндылықтарды ұлттық мағынада қорғайтын қаржы секторы. Бұл зерттеудің мақсаты экономиканың қозғаушы күші мен даму деңгейінің индикаторы болып табылатын сақтандыру секторының әлемдік нарығында Қазақстанның орнын салыстыра қарастыру болып табылады. Бұл тұрғыда Қазақстанның сақтандыру секторының негізгі көрсеткіштері мен даму деңгейі талданды. Сонымен қатар зерттеуде Қазақстандағы өмірді сақтандыру саласы қарастырылды. Зерттеу нәтижесінде Қазақстанда сақтандыру секторының ЖІӨ-дегі үлесі 2 %-дан аспайды, дамыған елдерде бұл көрсеткіш 8-12 %-ды құрайды. Зерттеуде сақтандыру секторының төмен көрсеткіштерінің ықтимал себептері талқыланды. Кілтті сөздер: сақтандыру секторы, Қазақстан, өмірді сақтандыру, жалпы сақтандыру, сақтандыру сыйлықақысы.

Authors: Doğan Mehmet Emin , Kotanlı Sedef , Kaya Menduh Sercan
Published: July 2024

During the radiological examination with CBCT of the patient who complained of joint pain, a structure with a length of 8.1 mm and a diameter of 0.6 mm was detected, starting from the sigmoid notch and descending down the ramus. The patient was unaware of the existence of this structure, and moreover, the patient did not show any symptoms. There was doubt as to whether the observed structure was an anatomical variation or a pathological phenomenon, and MRI was used to determine its content. It was realized that the structure imaged by MRI carried a branch of the maxillary artery. This structure was called the sigmoid canal. It was noteworthy that this anatomical structure was likely to cause complications in surgical interventions.
The importance and use of defibrillation in pediatric surgery
Authors: Kıyıcı Nida
Published: July 2024

Pediatric surgery is a delicate and complex process. Anatomical and physiological characteristics of pediatric patients are different compared to adults and this may increase the risk for some complications during surgical interventions. Complications that may occur during surgical procedures may include sudden cardiac events and cardiac arrest. These situations are among the emergencies that require rapid intervention and one of the most effective tools of this is defibrillation. Defibrillation is a procedure that is used to correct the life-threatening arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia). This procedure aims to restore normal rhythm through electric shock to the heart. In children, defibrillation requires great care in terms of correct timing and using appropriate energy levels. Since incorrect practices may cause serious harm, correct use of defibrillation is vital in the management of possible complications during pediatric surgery.
