Published: September 2023

The aim of the article is to identify the role of chess achievement in the learning process and in enhancing learning motivation. The research was conducted using a complex set of quantitative and qualitative methods. The research was carried out by methods of a structured questionnaire survey (122) and an expert interview (15).Success in chess motivates a child to study mainly mathematics, native and foreign languages, while the other subjects are somewhat outside the scope of children's interests. Due to victories, learners strive to be the first in their studies, in sports and in all activities. The impact of chess is a positive shift in academic achievement and a change in aspirations for learning subjects.Comparing the results of the study conducted with parents and experts, it becomes clear that both parents and experts stress the role and impact of chess education on a child's academic performance, highlighting the role of sports victories as a tool to stimulate and enhance educational motivation. Frequent victories in sports tournaments are an encouraging factor for pupils to achieve educational success through participation in a number of subject, Olympiads increasing a child's desire to be involved in educational process.

The two main factors, culture and nature, are inseparable. The mutual connections of the latter, on the one hand, are clearly reflected in the poetic works, on the other hand, the natural and geographical location of the place, combined with the specifics of a certain culture, affects the cultural life of the given place, its manifestations. It should be noted, however, that in the modern world, as a result of urbanization, globalization and technocratization, the connection with one's own body, the natural world, traditional cultures and natural creativity is being disrupted. We believe that the practice of expressive art therapy can contribute to the establishment of connections with the nature. It can increase body awareness and promote understanding of the body as a thinking and feeling system. The body then becomes a creator of meanings, ideas that lives through the creation of art forms. They can be used in the context of expressive arts therapy, both nature-oriented and culture-oriented expressive arts therapy.

Published: September 2023

The article discusses the issue of the composition of verbs with foreign roots, with the study of borrowings of Arabic origin in the dialectal area of Syunik-Artsakh. It becomes clear that the borrowings of Arabic origin, which have become verbs in the Armenian language, differ from other borrowings.

Little attention is paid to the meaning of the grammatical and lexical patterns of the borrowed language. Some borrowings of Arabic origin have passed through other languages. Most direct or indirect borrowings from Arabic are formed by analytic verbs.

The group of borrowings does not have its substitutes in the Armenian language, but they did not pass into the literary language either. Borrowings of this type are called complete if they fill a gap in the expression of a concept in a borrowed language, e.g., munnat (մո̈ւննաթ) “1. gratitude, 2. envy, 3. duty" > minna(t) منّة > manna منّ "mercy, mercy". And those borrowings that have synonymous substitutes in a borrowed language can be considered partial, such as zarar anel (զարար անէլ ) "harm", zararlu (զարարլու) "harmful" < ضَرر (zarar) "disable".

Arabic borrowings did not affect on the general structure Armenian and its dialects. They enriched the vocabulary with the necessary concepts.

Published: September 2023

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of malignant cancers worldwide. Although molecularly targeted therapies have significantly improved treatment outcomes, most of these target inhibitors are resistant. Novel inhibitors as potential anticancer drug candidates are still needed to be discovered. Therefore, in the present study, we synthesized a novel 4-(1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-ylthio)pyrimidine derivative (compound 4) using fragment- and structure-based techniques and then investigated the anticancer effect and underlying mechanism of anti-CRC. The results revealed that compound 4 significantly inhibited HCT116 cell proliferation with IC
50 values of 8.04 ± 0.94 µmol L–1 after 48 h and 5.52 ± 0.42 µmol L–1 after 72 h, respectively. Compound 4 also inhibited colony formation, migration, and invasion of HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as well as inducing cell apoptosis and arresting the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. In addition, compound 4 was able to inhibit the activation of the MEK/ERK signaling in HCT116 cells. And compound 4 yielded the same effects as the MEK inhibitor U0126 on cell apoptosis and MEK/ERK-related proteins. These findings suggested that compound 4 inhi bited cell proliferation and growth, and induced cell apoptosis, indicating its use as a novel and potent anticancer agent against CRC via the MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Authors: Zang Binbin , Wang Lihui
Published: September 2023

The current work was conducted to elucidate the pharmacological effect of pyrazole-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives against acute lung injury in rats in sepsis and their mechanism of action. Various pyrazole-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a]-pyrazine derivatives have been synthesized in a straightforward synthetic route. They exhibited a diverse range of inhibitory activity against NF-ĸB with IC
50 ranging from 1 to 94 µmol L–1. Among them, compound 3h [(4-(4-((4-hydroxyphenyl)sulfonyl) phenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) (8-(methylamino)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-2-yl)methanone] was identified as the most potent NF-κB inhibitor with IC
50 of 1.02 µmol L–1. None of the synthesized compounds was found cytotoxic to normal cell-line MCF-12A. The pharmacological activity of the most potent NF-ĸB inhibitor 3h was also investigated in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis injury of the lung in rats. Compound 3h was administered to rats after induc tion of lung sepsis, and various biochemical parameters were measured. Results suggested that compound 3h significantly reduced lung inflammation and membrane permeability, as evidenced by H&E staining of lung tissues. It substantially reduced the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1B, IL-6) and oxidative stress (MPO, MDA, SOD). It showed attenuation of NF-ĸB and apoptosis in Western blot and annexin--PI assay, resp. Compound 3h also reduced the production of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from the lung and provided a protective effect against lung injury. Our study showed the pharmacological significance of pyrazole-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a] pyrazine derivative 3h against acute lung injury in sepsis rats.
Philosophical inquiry into intercultural communication and the teaching of culture in foreign language teaching
Authors: Jie Zeng
Published: September 2023

Based upon meaning holism in the philosophy of language, this article discusses issues of intercultural communication and explores the philosophical basis of cultural difference, pointing out that cultural difference does have its necessity, but can be bridged through language exchange and education under the guidance of a holistic view of language. This is so because culture essentially consists of a system of beliefs that a language user has of the world, life and society. Such being the case, this article proposes an independent, systematic and specialised curriculum for the teaching of culture so as to help students enrich their system of cultural beliefs, by virtue of questioning and speculating in an effort to find the rationale for foreign culture beliefs.
Using the ordinal priority approach for selecting the contractor in construction projects
Authors: Alkaabi Sajjad Ali Mahmood , Raoof Mahjoob Ahmed Mohammed
Published: September 2023

Effective decision-making process is the basis for successfully solving any engineering problem. Many decisions taken in the construction projects differ in their nature due to the complex nature of the construction projects. One of the most crucial decisions that might result in numerous issues over the course of a construction project is the selection of the contractor. This study aims to use the ordinal priority approach (OPA) for the contractor selection process in the construction industry. The proposed model involves two computer programs; the first of these will be used to evaluate the decision-makers/experts in the construction projects, while the second will be used to formulate the OPA mathematical model. The experts’ interview was used to identify the criteria of evaluation process of the decision-makers/experts, while Delphi survey with principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to identify the required selection criteria of the construction projects contractors. The results illustrate that there are 20 criteria for selecting the construction contractor, and 7 criteria for evaluating the decision-makers/experts in the construction projects. Finally, the proposed model has been applied in a real construction project, and showed good results.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro metabolic compartmentalization between strains of actinobacteria and rhizobia isolated from Brazilian semiarid soils and observe the effect of their coinoculation on the development of cowpea plants.

 

Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the importance of microbial interactions in soil, such as metabolite and enzyme sharing, for nutrient cycling and plant growth promotion.

 

Method: Twenty-six rhizobial strains and 23 actinobacteria were cocultured in vitro in media containing xylan, pectin and calcium phosphate. Strains were characterized regarding compatibility on different substrates. Two Streptomyces sp. strains and eight Bradyrhizobium sp. strains were selected and coinoculated in cowpea plants in a greenhouse to evaluate plant development and gas exchange.

 

Results: Compatibility between strains varied significantly among the tested substrates, being higher in pectin and phosphate. Coinoculation resulted in increased values of several biometric parameters compared to standard treatments with only rhizobia or nitrogen fertilization.

 

Conclusions: The association of microorganisms with distinct metabolic capabilities, such as enzyme production, promotes bacterial coexistence and facilitates plant development through complementarity mechanisms.

 

Originality: There are scarce studies on metabolic interactions and growth promotion involving actinobacteria and rhizobia from semiarid soils.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: To evaluate the potential of actinobacterial strains from the Brazilian semiarid to establish facilitation relationships with native rhizobia from the same region.

 

Theoretical framework: The study is based on the ecological and biotechnological importance of soil actinobacteria, producers of biosurfactants and enzymes, and of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia in legumes.

 

Method: 50 strains of actinobacteria were isolated from soils from Ceará with different levels of anthropization and 19 strains of rhizobia using cowpea. The morphological, cultural and micromorphological characterization of the strains was performed, as well as the evaluation of their enzymatic profiles. In vitro facilitation tests were conducted between cellulolytic actinobacteria and non-cellulolytic rhizobia.

 

Results: The soil areas presented a similar composition of actinobacteria, but strains from the anthropized area showed higher enzymatic activity. Two Streptomyces strains promoted the growth of non-cellulolytic rhizobia in vitro, indicating potential application as bioinoculants in microbial consortia.

 

Conclusions: The study contributes to the knowledge of the interaction between beneficial microbial groups from the semiarid region and their possible biotechnological use in agriculture.

 

Originality/value: Works on coinoculation between actinobacteria and rhizobia from semiarid soils are scarce.

Authors: Werner Michael , Schütte Andreas , Weiss Sebastian
Published: September 2023

In this study, vortical flows around a generic triple-delta wing geometry were investigated at transonic speeds. The focus of this work was the investigation of vortex interaction at medium to high angles of attack. To this end, numerical simulations were performed at two different Mach numbers, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. To assess the performance of different turbulence models in predicting the complex flowfield, comparisons with experimental data were performed. In addition to the integral forces and moments, surface pressures from pressure-sensitive paint and velocity field data from particle image velocimetry were used. Across all investigated test cases, the best agreement with experimental results was achieved by the Menter shear stress transport turbulence model.
Who Qualifies to Manage the Church? Exploring Historical and Biblical Accounts of Management and Agency Theories in Not-For-Profit Organisation (NPO) Sector in Gauteng, South Africa
Authors: Boya Kgaugelo Sammy
Published: September 2023

As an NPO, the church has always required managers to run its affairs. In the books of Genesis, Acts and Timothy, there are inferences of management that human beings and churches had to adhere to. Thus, even though management has grown in other fields, such as business, it is also an indispensable commodity in NPOs in general and churches in particular. Qualitative research methods in the form of interviews and document analysis were employed. A total of 26 church managers from five Gauteng regions were interviewed. Data was analysed through the use of Atlas ti. Software. The findings indicate that while most participants had theology qualifications, many felt the need to acquire managerial qualifications. These findings suggest that church managers require both Biblical and academic qualifications in management. While most participants had theology qualifications, many felt the need to acquire a managerial qualification. This article contributes to the areas of management and agency theories. Thus, this strengthens the argument that all modern organisations, including NPOs, ought to be strategically managed.

Published: September 2023

The Pabon Lasso Model is often used to assess the efficiency of hospitals as the most important component of the health care system. The present study sought to evaluate and compare the efficiency of hospitals in northern Iran before and after the COVID-19 pandemic using the Pabon Lasso Model. This descriptive study was conducted in 36 public, private, and social security hospitals in northern Iran from 2019 to 2020. The hospitals were selected using the census method. The data were collected using the forms approved by the Ministry of Health and Education. The three indices of bed occupancy rate, bed turnover frequency, and the average length of stay were calculated and plotted using the Pabon Lasso graphs. The collected data were analysed using the paired samples t-test. The average bed occupancy rates in 2019 and 2020 were equal to 67.72% and 52.28%, lower than the national standard rate. Moreover, the average lengths of stay were 2.58 and 2.83 days and the bed turnover rates were 96.7 and 77.94, higher than the national standard rate. Of the total 36 hospitals in 2019, 33.3% of hospitals were in the first quarter (low efficiency), and 16.6% in the third quarter (high efficiency). Furthermore, the data for 2020 indicated that 38.8% of hospitals were in the first quarter (low efficiency), showing an increase compared to 2019 and 19.4% of hospitals were in the third quarter, indicating a decrease compared to 2019. The paired samples t-test indicated that the bed occupancy rate and bed turnover showed significant differences in 2019 and 2020 (P-value<0.05). The data confirmed that the average length of stay and bed turnover in the studied hospitals were favourable. In addition, unlike private hospitals, the number of efficient units in public hospitals decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, hospital managers need to pay more attention to improving performance indicators and increasing productivity in these hospitals.

Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the effectiveness of interventions for changing movement during weight-bearing functional tasks in people with patellofemoral pain (PFP).

DESIGN: Systematic review with network meta-analysis (NMA).

LITERATURE SEARCH: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception up to May 2023.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized controlled trials involving people with PFP and nonsurgical, nonpharmacological interventions on task kinematics were included.

DATA SYNTHESIS: NMA was conducted for frontal knee movement data, and pairwise meta-analysis was used to pool data when NMA was not possible. Reduced movements were those changes that indicated movements occurring with less amplitude. The GRADE approach was used to grade the certainty of the evidence.

RESULTS: Thirty-seven trials were included (n = 1235 participants). Combining knee/hip exercises with internal feedback had the strongest effect on reducing frontal knee movements (standardized mean difference [SMD] from NMA = −2.66; GRADE: moderate evidence). On pairwise comparisons, the same combination of interventions reduced frontal hip movements (SMD = −0.47; GRADE: moderate evidence) and increased sagittal knee movements (SMD = 1.03; GRADE: moderate evidence), with no effects on sagittal hip movements (GRADE: very low evidence), compared to knee/hip exercises alone. There was no effect for single applications of braces on the frontal knee movement (GRADE: very low evidence) and taping on movements of the knee, hip, and ankle (GRADE: very low to low evidence) compared to no intervention.

CONCLUSION: Knee/hip exercises combined with internal feedback techniques may change knee and hip movements in people with PFP. The combination of these interventions can reduce frontal knee and hip movements, and can increase sagittal knee movements. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(12):748-760.
