Authors: Lagad A.  , GogateV.
Published: October 2024

Vyanga (Melasma) is a common, acquired and symmetrical hyper melanosis characterized by more or less dark brownish maculae, with irregular contour, but clear limits, on photo exposed areas, especially the face, forehead, temples, and more rarely on the nose, eyelids, chin, and upper lips. In Ayurveda, Vyanga (Melasma) has been elaborated as one of the Kshudra Rogas (minor ailments). Vayu aggravated by Krodha (Anger) and Ayasa (Rest), get associated with Pitta and suddenly produces a thin, grey colored circular patch when reaches the face. Both modern and Ayurvedic sciences have considered the use of topical as well as oral medications and their combinations for the treatment of Vyanga (Melasma). In Ayurveda, Vyanga (Melasma) has been treated both by Antah-Parimarjan (Internal Intervention) and Bahi-Parimarjana (External Intervention) Chikitsa (Treatment). Though, several Ayurvedic texts such as Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Samgraha & Hridaya, etc., have elaborated the pathophysiology and treatment of Vyanga (Melasma), the available references are scattered. The treatment for Vyanga (Melasma) in Ayurveda is devoid of side effects it is very effective and it promises to stop the recurrence. The detailed description of its Hetu (causative factors), Samprapti (prognosis), the treatment (local and internal) is given in Ayurved Samhitas. Thus, there is need of in-depth review and compilation of Ayurvedic texts and literatures. This review may be helpful in better understanding of comparative pathophysiology and management of Vyanga (Melasma).
POSSIBILITIES OF PREDICTING THE OUTCOME OF THE COURSE OF ACUTE PURULENT-DESTRUCTIVE LUNG DISEASES IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD SARS-COV-2

Published: October 2024

Since the discovery of COVID-19, purulent-destructive lung diseases have been increasingly described and diagnosed around the world in patients who have fallen ill with or have had covid pneumonia. Treatment of purulent diseases of the lungs and pleura invariably remains an urgent problem. This pathology, painful for the patient, time-consuming for the doctor and expensive for the medical institution, combines intoxication due to a purulent-destructive process and impaired respiratory function. The occurrence of infectious destruction of the lungs and pleura is facilitated by immunodeficiency and immunosuppression, which are characteristic of patients suffering from haematological diseases, increased tendency to thrombosis, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, drug addiction, HIV infection, who have undergone extensive surgical interventions, organ and tissue transplantation. The peculiarity of the course of COVID lung infection is the consolidation of an inflammatory focus in the lungs, which can lead to the formation of abscesses and gangrene of the lungs, and sepsis, which is associated with high mortality in the long term after COVID disease. At the moment, the exact mechanism of development is not known, but it may be associated with diffuse alveolar damage, intraalveolar bleeding, stenosis or occlusion of alveolar arterioles, their thrombosis and, as a consequence of the above, necrosis of the cell parenchyma. Another factor in the occurrence of acute purulent-destructive lung diseases is pneumofibrosis, which is a frequent occurrence after covid pneumonia. A lung abscess is a necrotic lesion that forms a cavity filled with pus in the lung parenchyma with a characteristic level of fluid in the air on a chest X-ray. Most often, the cause of severe covid pneumonia is not only a virus but bacterial and fungal superinfection, including those associated with mechanical ventilation.

THE EMOTION OF A COMMUNICANT IN TRANSLATION: THE FUNCTION AND SEMANTICS OF COLOR NAMES
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Imangazina Meruyert
Published: October 2024

Nonverbal elements are additional, non-linguistic means of communication. In literary texts (original and translated) it is actively used to describe the internal experiences, emotions of the character, the attitude of the participants in the story towards each other, and the communicative situation. The main group of non-verbal means that cause difficulties in translation are the names of color terms that depict emotions. Changes in human skin color, which the article is devoted to, are universal phenomena, characteristic of all people, reflecting the internal state of the communicant, the appearance of his physiological state. The main goal of the study is to explain the cause of translation difficulties by showing the anthropocognitive and neurobiological motivation of color vocabulary denoting emotion in the novel “Abai Zholy”. During the comparative analysis of translations, it was revealed that the names of colors in the Kazakh language representing the inner state of the character, such as «kogeru» (to get blue), «surlanu» (to get grey), «kokpenbek bop kety» (to get dark blue), «bozaru» (to get pale), «qup-qu bolu» (to get white), «qap-qara bop ketu» (to get black) were equivalent to only one lexeme "pale" in Russian, highlighting such linguistic facts, the author explains the root cause of difficulties in translation by the fact that each nation has its own intellectual instinct in recognizing emotions, which reflects paraemotional elements in the language at different levels. The physiological motivation and psychological causators of the names of colors, which describe the change in emotion in the author’s narrative in the novel “Abai Zholy,” are explained on the basis of the experimental method, that is, on the basis of the results of neurobiological analysis conducted by foreign researchers. As a result of the study, it was proven that the Kazakh people have a deep level of recognition of human emotions, therefore in the Kazakh language there are many more para-emotional words reflecting changes in facial tone than in Russian, each non-verbal element in the Kazakh language has a neurobiological basis, each people has a different level recognizing human emotions and conveying them in language, which also affects translation. Although non-verbal means in works of fiction, including somatic non-verbal structures, are widely considered in paralinguistics, difficulties with their translation and insufficient attention to the causes of translation problems emphasize the relevance of the study. The article also uses the term "intellectual instinct" for the first time in relation to translation.

This research explores the growing phenomenon of mobile applications (apps) in foreign language learning. While acknowledging the accessibility and potential benefits these apps offer, the authors delve deeper, investigating the pedagogical considerations necessary for their effective integration into language learning environments. A key strength of the research lies in its exploration of both the advantages and challenges associated with mobile apps. The authors highlight the increased accessibility mobile apps provide, making language learning resources available to a wider range of learners irrespective of location or socioeconomic background (Warschauer, 2003). Additionally, the potential for personalized learning experiences through adaptive learning algorithms is acknowledged (Brusilovsky, 2001). However, the research also raises crucial concerns. The potential for apps to lack depth in cultural context and advanced language skills is a significant challenge (Hall, 1959). The authors emphasize the need to supplement app-based learning with traditional methods and resources that provide a more comprehensive understanding of the target language. Furthermore, the role of teachers undergoes a transformation with the introduction of mobile apps. Educators shift from being the primary source of knowledge to facilitators who guide learners and leverage the strengths of app-based features alongside traditional classroom activities (Belz & Steiner, 2009). This aligns with constructivist theories of education (Piaget, 1951; Vygotsky, 1978), which emphasize the active role of learners in constructing knowledge. Overall, the research underscores the need for a thoughtful approach to integrating mobile apps into language learning. By addressing the pedagogical considerations outlined, educators can harness the power of technology to enhance the learning experience while maintaining a focus on educational effectiveness and cultural understanding.

The application of wastewater from pig farming is an alternative to fertilize crops using the effluent produced in the activity. However, in addition to nutrients capable of meeting the needs of crops, this effluent also has residues of antibiotics for livestock use in its composition, which can interfere with the activity of soil microorganisms and reduce the enzymatic activity, leading to nitrogen losses into the atmosphere. Hence, this study evaluated ammonia volatilization behavior after adding swine wastewater with tetracycline-class antibiotics. Pots containing soil received doses of raw and digested wastewater (0.06 and 0.09 L), combined or not with doses of tetracycline (35 µg L-1), chlortetracycline (40.9 µg L-1), and doxycycline (14.9 µg L-1 volatilized NH3 was collected by foam absorbers containing phosphoric acid solution on the soil, which were changed every 48 h, totaling 11 collections at a time. The NH3 volatilization significantly increased when the swine wastewater (raw or digested) was added. The presence of antibiotics reduced NH3 losses, showing that they can inhibit urease activity. Our findings showed that tetracycline-class antibiotics can inhibit urease activity, contributing to the continuity of nitrogen in the soil.

Background and purpose: Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a widely used antitumor and immunosuppressive drug, but it is highly cytotoxic and has carcinogenic and teratogenic potential. To reduce adverse effects of CP therapy and the frequency of its administration, the microencapsulation of CP into biodegradable polymeric matrices can be performed. However, according to the literature, only a few polymers were found suitable to encapsulate CP and achieve its’ sustained release. Experimental approach: In this research, spray-dried cyclophosphamide-loaded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) microparticles were prepared and characterized in terms of their average hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity index, surface morphology, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, thermal properties and cytotoxicity against 3T3 cells. Key results: The obtained CP-loaded microparticles had a regular spherical shape, uniform size distribution with an average diameter of 4.21±0.04 μm and zeta potential of -34.2±0.2 mV. The encap­sulation of cyclophosphamide into the PHBV matrix led to a decrease in melting and degradation tempe­ratures and an increase in diameter, glass transition and cold crystallization temperatures compared to blank microparticles. Moreover, microencapsulation of cyclophosphamide lowered its cytotoxicity compared to the pure drug: the number of dead cells in the culture decreased by 28 %, while their metabolic activity increased by 20 %. The cumulative in vitro drug release studies showed a gradual release of CP up to 18 days, so the obtained microparticle formulation can be used as a sustained-release cyclophosphamide delivery system. Conclusion: In this research, a novel cyclophosphamide-loaded platform based on PHBV micro­particles was established and characterized. Overall, this study offers promising prospects for cancer therapy in the future.

Las investigaciones recientes subrayan la importancia del involucramiento de los representantes legales en la gestión educativa para mejorar el rendimiento académico y el clima escolar Smith, (2020). Este estudio tiene como objetivo general determinar las estrategias de gestión institucional que promuevan el acompañamiento efectivo de los representantes legales en los procesos pedagógicos de los estudiantes, mejorando la calidad educativa y fortaleciendo la implicación familiar. Se adoptó un enfoque mixto, con alcance correlacional y descriptiva, coordinado con el tipo de investigación deductiva e inductiva. La técnica empleada fue la encuesta con un cuestionario de respuestas politómicas en escala de Likert aplicada a 44 representantes legales de bachillerato. Para determinar la fiabilidad del instrumento se aplicó Alfa de Cronbach estableciendo un valor de 0.98; los resultados ayudaron a tener una visión completa de las causas que influyen en el acompañamiento de los representantes legales en las actividades pedagógicas de sus representados. Se analizaron aspectos teóricos sobre la relación entre gestión institucional y el acompañamiento de los representantes legales, evaluando su impacto en el rendimiento estudiantil. Se identificaron los factores que limitan su participación, y a pesar de estas barreras, los resultados muestran un alto potencial para incrementar la participación de los representantes legales; como recomendación se propone implementar una guía con estrategias de gestión institucional para promover la colaboración efectiva entre escuela y familia como clave para el éxito académico de los estudiantes complementado de políticas internas que fortalezcan la comunicación y el reconocimiento del papel de los representantes.

Myxomycetes associated with bark of Larix in Hedmarken, Norway. Which species live there and where on the lower part of the stem do they thrive best?
Authors: Vetlesen Per
Published: October 2024

In Hedmarken, Norway, a survey of 36 Larix trees was conducted for myxomycetes at 17 sites. Bark from the larches was systematically collected at different heights in the four cardinal directions and 320 moist chambers were cultivated. This resulted in 763 identified myxomycetes representing 47 species, and four of these species were recorded in Norway for the first time: Didymium orthonemata H.W. Keller & T.E. Brooks, Echinostelium apitectum K.D. Whitney, E. paucifilum K.D. Whitney, and Physarum echinosporum Lister. The study shows that myxomycetes generally do not, have preference for any of the cardinal directions, but there are differences in species richness between individual trees and locations. At heights between 0.5 and 2 meters above the ground, no major differences in species richness were found. The study shows that a substantial number of moist chambers must be cultured in order to document the majority of the species that live on the bark of larches. A comparison of the results across different landscape types indicates that certain species have a preference for specific land-scape types.
