Various chemical compounds (chlorine, chloroactive agents, bromine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, silver nanoparticles) are used to disinfect swimming pool water. To increase the reliability of disinfection it is advisable to combine chemical methods with ultraviolet radiation (UV). This makes it possible to significantly increase the processing efficiency at significantly lower material costs. A review of the studied combined methods of disinfection of swimming pool water showed that the most promising are combinations of UV radiation with compounds of oxidative action and metal oxide nanoparticles. For their widespread use, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the development of effective application modes with justification of the safety of treated water for people when it penetrates the body. Keywords: water disinfection of swimming pools, drinking water, ultraviolet radiation, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, silver nanoparticles, maximum permissible concentration, toxicity.

This Sounds Like an Episode of The X-Files: Analyzing How Twitter Users Interpreted the COVID-19 Pandemic through the Lens of Sci-Fi Television
Authors: Neece Nicole
Published: September 2023

While science fiction has a long-standing habit of predicting future technologies, The X-Files’ focus on anatomical manipulations as a means of control resulted in a plotline that inadvertently mirrored the COVID-19 pandemic which occurred a few years later. The proximity to such a similar, real-world situation resulted in some audiences interpreting their own experiences through the framework of sci-fi television, demonstrating that the discursive environment crafted through the text of The X-Files is continually applicable to contemporary anxieties and paranoia even after the show finished airing. In this article, I argue that The X-Files’ critiques of real-world abuses of powers and the running themes of paranoia and governmental distrust gave audiences a framework they could use to negotiate their anxieties, resulting in the series being used to both defend and reject COVID-19 protocols by sci-fi fans on Twitter. In this study, I utilize a thematic analysis of these tweets to examine how audiences perceived the implications of the show’s text and their lived experiences by using the lens of science fiction to contextualize the pandemic.

Published: September 2023

This paper discusses the archival and information usage practices of characters within the 2022 video game Horizon Forbidden West. It considers how science fiction settings, particularly those based in post-apocalyptic futures with different technology and information practices, can help us reflect on how contemporary society interacts with information and determines its use. Furthermore, the paper explores the social responsibility informational professionals have toward the world around them through contrasting various groups and characters within the game, positing that the main group's actions are the most morally lauded within the game's narrative.
The Library Wants to Kill You: Places of Information as Battleground and Sanctum in Halo
Authors: Streissguth Mackenzie
Published: September 2023

Video games are often a widespread access point for studying information-seeking behaviors, as a large portion of the population (and its youth) play them. Understanding how real-world analogues, like libraries, are portrayed in games can give us insights into how they mirror conflicts of reality. By examining the depictions of information systems and accompanying curators in Halo: Combat Evolved (2001), we can begin to investigate the perceptions of libraries and their antagonism in ludonarratives. Resulting analysis reveals multiple layers of archival hostility that are ultimately upended in later iterations in the game series, changing the nature of the library itself. This article closely examines the place-based narrative choices in Halo:CE while discussing the resulting possible impacts on the player.

Published: September 2023

Educators, as individuals, hold a crucial position in fostering the development of outstanding and high-caliber students. A teacher's comprehensive grasp and perception, coupled with their determination towards diversifying abilities and enhancing knowledge, are indispensable attributes. The teacher's proficiency in teaching high-level history subjects facilitates systematic instructional activities, commencing from the initial stages and progressing towards the conceptual development through the utilization of knowledge and skills, ultimately culminating with reinforcement and reinforcement activities. Of the 98 history teachers surveyed, the sample included 59 male teachers and 39 female teachers, and an independent T-test was conducted using SPSS Version 26 to examine the gender-based competency differences between the teachers. The teacher's teaching and learning proficiency across genders exhibited a significant difference, with a value of p < 0.05, whereas the teacher's professionalism and teaching effectiveness showed non-significant findings (p > 0.05). This study involved teachers who specialize in the subject of History. The effort to implement a wide range of teaching techniques by history teachers constitutes a shift in the subject of history that aligns with the National Education transformation process, as outlined by the Primary School Standard Curriculum (KSSR) and the Secondary School Standard Curriculum (KSSM). These standards necessitate the time and commitment of teachers to master the subject content and teaching strategies.

Published: September 2023

Aim to evaluate the effect of dry extract of mistletoe leafs on the change of vascular endothelium vasodilation function in rats under conditions of chronic alcohol intoxication.
Material and methods. The chronic alcohol intoxication was modeled in female Wistar rats by course of oral administration of ethanol at the rate of 3g/kg/day. The tested extract and the reference drug ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate were administered per os at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The vasodilation function of the vascular endothelium was assessed by the change in the rate of cerebral blood flow during modification of the endogenous nitric oxide synthesis. The concentration of active forms of endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthase isofrom was determined by enzyme immunoassay.
Results. The course of the tested extract and the reference drug resulted in an increase in the rate of cerebral blood flow in relation to untreated animals by 48.1% (p0.05) and 40.2% (p0.05), respectively. The restoration of endothelium-dependent vasodilation of cerebral vessels was also noted with the administration of the studied extract of white mistletoe and the reference drug. The analysis of changes in the NO-synthase system showed that, when using the tested extract, the concentration of eNOS increased by 76.3% (p0.05), and iNOS, on the contrary, decreased by 22.1% (p0.05), which was comparable with the indicators of the group of animals receiving the reference drug.
Conclusion. The use of mistletoe leaf dry extract leads to the restoration of endothelium-dependent vasodilation of cerebral vessels in rats with chronic alcohol intoxication, probably due to the improvement of eNOS-dependent mechanisms of nitric oxide synthesis.

Aim to implement a comprehensive approach to treatment of patients with tuberculosis in anti-tuberculosis medical organizations.
Material and methods. Fifty-two patients and fourteen employees took part in the study. For psychodiagnostics, we used the "TOBOL" questionnaire, the diagnostics of professional "burnout" by K. Maslach, S. Jackson, the Wheel of Life concept by Paul J. Meyer. The data was analyzed using Mann Whitney U-test, Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Results. The older patients had a tendency for excessive vigilance and aggressiveness in their attitude to the disease. The harmonious and anosognostic types of attitude to the disease were prevalent in patients with permanent employment. The medical workers demonstrated a high level of emotional burnout. The training aimed at prevention of burnout was the part of the study. After the training, the registered values of emotional exhaustion were reduced by 7 points, the depersonalization score shifted from high to average, the reduction of personal achievements score raised by 5 points.
Conclusion. The age and social status can influence the type of attitude towards tuberculosis. Patients under 40 years of age with permanent employment have a more favorable prognosis of adherence to treatment and persistent clinical cure of tuberculosis. The introduction of an integrated approach to the provision of medical care with the mandatory presence of psychological support is relevant and necessary. This study substantiates the expediency of creating a psychological assistance office in a medical organization.

C’è “chi [chiede] d’invidia o di gelosia”. E noi proviamo a rispondere
Authors: D'Achille Paolo
Published: September 2023

Ci sono pervenute moltissime domande relative al campo semantico dell’invidia. C’è chi ci chiede semplicemente la definizione della parola; chi se sia possibile distinguere lessicalmente un’invidia “buona” o “positiva” (per cui si vorrebbe godere della stessa fortuna o felicità di altre persone, possedere i loro stessi beni o raggiungere gli stessi risultati da loro ottenuti, ma senza provare alcun sentimento malevolo, di ostilità nei loro confronti) da quella “cattiva” o “negativa”, che invece si nutre di astio e determina sofferenza per la felicità o la fortuna altrui. C’è poi chi chiede se tra invidiare e provare invidia ci sia una sfumatura semantica diversa, se sia dialettale l’espressione prendersi d’invidia e quale sia la differenza tra invidia e gelosia e quindi tra invidioso e geloso. Un ultimo quesito riguarda la costruzione del verbo invidiare (a qualcuno qualcosa o qualcosa di qualcuno?)

Published: September 2023

La histoplasmosis es una micosis sistémica causada por la inhalación de microconidias del hongo dimórfico Histoplasma capsulatum. La forma de progresión extrapulmonar de esta entidad es frecuente en pacientes inmunocomprometidos, siendo el sistema gastrointestinal uno de los principales sitios anatómicos de diseminación; sin embargo, es muy inusual la manifestación de histoplasmosis gastrointestinal aislada sin un foco pulmonar inicial. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 24 años de edad con antecedente de lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) de difícil manejo que requirió altas dosis de corticosteroides durante varios meses, quien debuta con cuadro agudo de colitis ulcerada por Histoplasma capsulatum sin compromiso de otro órgano o sitio anatómico, por lo que se concluye como un caso de histoplasmosis confinada a colon, el cual epresentó un reto clínico para el control de la infección fúngica en el contexto de patología autoinmune.
Carta de la Directora del Centro de Investigación de la Comunicación Aplicada
Authors: Arévalo-Martínez Rebeca-Illiana
Published: September 2023

La ética de la comunicación ha ocupado un lugar fundamental, particularmente al relacionarla con los medios de comunicación (ONU, 2019), con el periodismo ético (White, 2017) y en los últimos años, con la necesidad de tenerla siempre presente dentro del evolutivo ecosistema de información digital (UNESCO, 2022). Asimismo, a estas preocupaciones se suma la creciente desinformación y discursos de odio por lo que surge la imperiosa necesidad de la alfabetización digital, mediática e informacional que pueda poner en el centro el respeto a los derechos humanos y las libertades fundamentales (Guterres, 2021). En este número, al reflexionar sobre las prácticas y problemas éticos de la comunicación, partimos del concepto de ética de la comunicación como aquella que conecta la acción con el sentido de la vida, es decir, el derecho y deber de procurar que la comunicación esté basada en la verdad y en la justicia social (Del Prado, 2018).

This article examines the sociology of work in an unstable environment produced by COVID-19 with emphasis on sustenance of employment among urban artisan labourers in Owerri, Imo State. It interrogates the resilience of this occupational type in the face of such disruptive shock as COVID-19. it aims to understand the ways in which COVID-19 Pandemic has affected the ability of artisan labourers to secure employment and value for their labour. A sample of 180 respondents was randomly selected from six different artisan labour market locations for the study. Survey method was used since there is a need for data from the artisan workers themselves. The nonparametric methods of analysis namely; Spearman’s rank correlation was adopted to analyze collected data. Results show significant erosion of employment potentials with 50 percent reduction in number that had a 7-day work week, reduced work time, unaffected earning potentials, engagement with higher number of short-term contracts per capita, 50% reduction in number that never did short term work, conscription of greater number of household members and eroded buying power of compensation packages and sundry rewards for work. This shows that though Nigeria was not one of the most affected countries, it has, however experienced reverberations from the most affected countries. The results compel the advocacy that persons in the informal sector may have to benefit from government programmes for the formal sector such as pension schemes.
Recycling urban wastelands in Greek cities. Challenges and opportunities
Authors: Dimelli Despina
Published: September 2023

In the context of socio-economic development and the degradation of the modern city and its inhabitant’s quality of life, the regeneration of every available urban void can lead to better urban environments. The existence of wastelands of any scale, inside and outside the urban fabric leads to urban discontinuity, disorientation and shrinking of space. In the context of the regeneration of the urban fabric and the revitalization of cities, these "dormant" spaces, present various dynamics, and possibilities through the redefinition of their identity and their reintegration into the city’s form, function, and structure.

The current paper examines with the use the case studies the regeneration process of wastelands in Greece. As wastelands integration, their new role and their implementation procedures is a subject of public discussion as the 2009 economic crisis led to new tools for their regeneration the paper with the analysis of two case studies will examine the procedures and the results of wastelands regeneration in Greece. It will evaluate the role the existing spatial planning framework and it will investigate the factors that define the processes and procedures of wastelands regeneration and their effectiveness in order to make these areas new sustainable zones in the urban tissue.

The current article focuses on emerging transformations in fashion creative processes in regard of the enhancement of digitalization processes, the opportunities offered by new sustainable business models, and a new relation between user, production, and consumption. In particular, this article discusses the case of the Italian manufacturing districts where digitalization strongly pervades the production, integrating the local craftsmanship savoir-faire with up-to-date technologies. Within the strategic duo“fashion and technology”, we highlight emerging opportunities for the integration of creative processes and manufacturing skills. Moreover, the need for sustainable practices offers new significant insights into the integration of the roles of the designer and manufacturing processes. Moving from this discussion, the article presents an overview of ongoing transformations of fashion design practices in relation to the technological and social issues, offering a framework to read the articles included in this issue.

Published: September 2023

The European Commission within the Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles cited circular business model solutions and ecodesign strategies as paramount for the sustainability of the textile sector. Nevertheless, how can sustainability knowledge be transmitted to the constellation of SMEs? The Eu Act for skills identified a gap between the knowledge currently owned by companies and the skills required for the green transition. The research investigated the possibilities of conducting the upskilling by integrating the Life Cycle Design approach within fashion design education. A toolkit has been developed for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of eco-design strategies in which Life Cycle Assessment analysis has a keyrole. The toolkit validation took place through a set of intensive workshops and a structured course, involving around 400 students at university level. Finally, the brands involved have enthusiastically greeted the effectiveness of students’ outcomes.

PROBLEMA: el aumento demográfico y la asegurabilidad alimentaria se ha convertido en un tema de alta convergencia en organismos internacionales, según la Organización de Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO), esta necesidad induce en la elevada producción y el uso elevado de insumos de producción reduciendo la eficiencia en costos y eficacia en el volumen productivo. OBJETIVO: realizar modelos lineales bajo estándares de machine learning a los insumos frente al volumen cosechado. MÉTODO: para su resolución se aplica un modelo lineal machine learning bagging y boosting. RESULTADOS: los predictores más importantes según la estratificación de los componentes son la cantidad de herbicida, cantidad fq (N) y cantidad fq (NPK), además, las variables del modelo adjudican comportamiento directamente proporcional, es decir, los estimadores son positivos para cada elemento. CONCLUSIÓN: el mayor predictor, es decir, cantidad de herbicida, ayuda a que las hierbas perjudiciales que pueden sustraer los minerales y nutrientes a los cultivos crezcan, no obstante, estos pueden alterar los ecosistemas del suelo (microbiota) reduciendo considerablemente la calidad producto agrícola.

PROBLEMA: La pandemia ha afectado significativamente la operabilidad empresarial, obligando en determinados casos a modificar su estructura para adaptarse a la nueva realidad, sin embargo, existe una proporción que en parte no gestiona cambios, lo que aumenta el riesgo de quiebra e insolvencia, convirtiéndose en un perjuicio para las personas vinculadas a la entidad. OBJETIVO: evaluar mediante modelo algorítmico las variables trascendentales en el ínfimo riesgo y vulnerabilidad empresarial en un escenario de Covid-19. MÉTODO: Análisis comparativo cualitativo de conjuntos borrosos (fsQCA), proporciona un paso hacia una comprensión holística y simultánea de los patrones que crean estas condiciones, utilizando un enfoque teórico constructivo RESULTADOS: basados en el cálculo algorítmico, la variable independiente  (Insuficiente flujo de efectivo para mantener el personal y operaciones comerciales) es la necesaria para las combinaciones probabilísticas. CONCLUSIÓN: es necesario que la empresa conozca como las externalidades han afectado a la empresa, es decir, como los cambios vertiginosos del entorno han sido inductores del riesgo.
