Authors: Boichuk Oleh , Lyebyedyeva Yuliya , Stadnyk Mykola , Mishchuk Andrii , Shcherbin Liliia
Published: May 2023

The aim of the research is to study the impact of virtual space on adolescent socialization during the war by analysing the mechanisms of value formation, attitude to war, national identity and other aspects of socialization. The research involved such methods as expert evaluation, questionnaire survey, sociometry, correlation and regression analysis, as well as factor analysis using the maximum likelihood method. The methods of mathematical statistics were used. It was found that 75% of students use social networks every day, and 25% — several times a week. Instagram is the most popular social network among students, which is used by 65% of respondents, followed by Facebook with 30%, and TikTok with 20%. In general, the results of the study showed that the use of virtual space can have both positive and negative consequences for adolescents. These effects may include increased socialization and life satisfaction, but may also include the risk of developing bad habits and involvement in crime. It is important to conduct further research to understand the mechanisms of influence of virtual worlds on adolescent behaviour and to develop strategies to minimize negative consequences. Future research may be aimed at analysing different types of virtual space and their impact on adolescent socialization.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify mechanisms based on effective political decisions that will fully impose material damage caused by military actions on the aggressor country. The methodological basis of the work was formed by general theoretical and special scientific methods, which ensured the formation of reliable conclusions and the solution of the tasks. In the course of this study, the author identified the main procedural problems faced by citizens in the process of ensuring the right to compensation for damage caused to them as a result of hostilities. The analysis of the Supreme Court's case law shows that after the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the courts began to take a radically different approach to resolving the issue of compensation in favor of citizens, and in fact deny the immunity of the aggressor state. Authors identify the main political decisions that will be useful in the future for the actual resolution of the issue of compensation for damages. The author analyzes certain legal acts that define the mechanism of compensation for damage. The author assesses the international achievements of Ukraine that will further simplify the procedure for compensation for damages, in particular, international legal acts. In general, the study assessed the real state of affairs in Ukraine regarding compensation for damage to citizens as a result of armed aggression and concluded that effective mechanisms for such compensation have not yet been implemented.

Published: May 2023

The article presents the results of a study of the addition of high-viscosity unimodal HDPE on the complex of physicochemical, rheological and strength properties of PE100. The analysis of thermal properties according to TGA/DTA data as well as the results of studying the composition of volatile products, and the molecular weight characteristics of individual components and blends are presented. The conducted studies have shown that the introduction of high-viscosity unimodal HDPE into bimodal PE100 makes it possible to control the rheological characteristics of the material, shifting the “melt breakdown” to the area of high shear rates, i.e. to increase the processability of the original PE 100, and expand the processing range, which may be useful in the production of extruded sheets and profile products. At the same time, the strength characteristics of the finished product will remain at the level of PE100.

Authors: Damayanti Cicilia
Published: May 2023

The advent of digital technology has brought significant changes to political life, particularly in the use of big data for election campaigns. However, the use of psychographics in data analysis raises concerns about the manipulation of human behaviour and the potential harm it may cause. This article aims to explore the impact of psychographics on society in the digital era and the need for multiculturalism in computer programming. This study aims to examine the use of psychographics in political campaigns and its impact on society. Additionally, the study aims to highlight the need for multiculturalism in computer programming and the importance of data protection. The research method used in this study is book analysis, focusing on politics, technology, and big data. The study analyses the case of Cambridge Analytica and how it used psychographics to manipulate human behaviour. The study shows that the use of psychographics can lead to the creation of paradigms that promote hopeful ignorance, leading to a homogeneous society that may be vulnerable to societal explosions. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of multiculturalism in computer programming to avoid bias and the need for data protection through cryptography. The study concludes that the use of psychographics in data analysis must be critically examined to avoid manipulation and harm to society. Furthermore, computer programs must  embrace multiculturalism to avoid bias, and data protection must be prioritized to maintain privacy and security. Additionally, political candidates should be investigated thoroughly to reveal their authenticity beyond their ethos.

Diocesan priests’ moving or transferring abroad - at any motives – will affect both positively or negatively to the diocese they leave. Human mobility which is supported by the nowadays advanced and varied transportation facilities, enabling the greater possibility of this mobility. This research is discussing on the instruction of the Propaganda Fide entitled La Missione Universale issued issued on April 25, 2001, which regulates the diocesan priests’ mobility. Through the legal research method, with a juridical-normative approach, this study aims to analyse the degree of legal synchronisation between the instruction and the laws above it. It also analyses the legal synchronisation between the instruction and its implementation at a lower level, namely the follow-up by the Italian Bishops' Conference in the form of agreement document. The research shows that the instruction is corresponding to the laws above it, and its implementation at the diocesan level is in line with the instruction above it. Previously, the moving abroad of a diocesan priest is seen from negative side of the disciplinary point of view only. The instruction now puts it positively in a broader context, that is, in the frame of missionary collaboration and communion among particular Churches. Inter-diocesan co-operation in the form of exchange of priests for a specific pastoral ministry is an effective means to carry out the missionary mandate of the Church. The inter-diocesan collaboration of the priest exchange for a special pastoral service is an effective means to undergo the mission of the Church.

Lessons Learned about Evaluating Fairness from a Data Challenge to Automatically Score NAEP Reading Items
Authors: Beiting-Parrish Magdalen , Whitmer John
Published: May 2023

Natural language processing (NLP) is widely used to predict human scores for open-ended student responses for education assessments in various content areas [9]. Ensuring algorithmic fairness and minimizing distortion based on student demographic background and other contextual factors is crucial to ensure that scoring does not inaccurately represent student populations [14]. This study presents a fairness analysis of six top-performing entries from a data challenge involving 20 reading comprehension items from the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). These submissions were initially analyzed for fairness based on race/ethnicity and gender. This study describes additional fair-ness evaluation by the challenge team, which included extra contextual variables for English Language Learner Status, Individual Education Plans, Free and Reduced-Price lunch, and other variables. Several items showed lower accuracy for predicted scores for some student subgroups, particularly for English Language Learners, compared to other students. This study recommends considering additional demographic factors in future fairness scoring evaluations and new approaches to fairness analysis that consider multiple factors and the contexts in which student identity is experienced.

Authors: M.S Piravin. , Deivanayagi Deivanayagi , Sivaraj Saranya
Published: May 2023

Among all odontogenic cysts, Radicular cyst is the most common inflammatory odontogenic cyst. They develop from epithelial rests of malassez in the PDL, as a result of inflammation. It is a true cyst that occurs in association with the root of the non-vital tooth. An inflammatory response occurs in the periapical tissue, leading to resorption of bone and formation of granulation tissue which are infiltrated by inflammatory cells. Though treatment of choice for smaller cystic lesions involves endodontic therapy, massive cystic lesions don't heal completely with non-surgical endodontic treatment. Massive cystic lesions need Endodontic treatment followed by surgical decompression treatment. In this case report, we present the diagnosis and surgical management of an infected radicular cyst of the mandible.

Authors: Balyan Hardeep , Kamal Gola Neel , Karia Rutu , Choudhary Neha , Arya Anubhav
Published: May 2023

Diaphragmatic hernias are more common among neonates and infants. Smaller defects may remain asymptomatic in childhood and present later in adult life. Congenital diaphragmatic hernias in adults are usually asymptomatic or may present with symptoms arising due to mass effect on the lungs and/or due to dysfunction of herniated organs. The omentum and transverse colon commonly appear in the herniated sac. However, larger defects in the diaphragm may also cause other parts of the intestine, spleen, and kidney (of either side) to herniate into the thoracic cavity. We present a case series of three adults with left-sided Bochdalek hernia, which was noted as an incidental finding. The size of the defects in the left hemidiaphragm in all the cases were large enough, 74.0mm, 57.0mm and 62.0mm respectively, to cause significant herniation of abdominal structures. During the operative treatment, we preferred the abdominal approach in all the cases: in case one and three for better reduction of organs and repair of the large defect; and in case two as obstruction of the bowel was suspected. The defect in case one and three was repaired by mesh reinforcement while in case two, a primary repair of the defect was done with sutures followed by fixation of mesh over it. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia in adults almost always necessitates surgical repair of the defect to avoid complications like strangulation or incarceration of the herniated structures.

Toothpaste is a gel or paste type of substance which is applied to a toothbrush to clean the teeth. This mainly white substance removes particles of food and plaque from your teeth and prevents bad breath as well.Toothpaste tablets are exactly what they sound like — a waterless toothpaste powder that's pressed into a tablet.An alternative option for toothpaste is toothpaste tablets ,the use of toothpaste tablets is easy to recycle the toothpaste tablets jar but not toothpaste tubes.The toothpaste tube to fully biodegrade take 500 million years ,its property as much as like toothpaste and also having the ability among plaque control and to provide the better oral hygiene.The materials which are used to make toothpaste tablets are polishing agent which is used abrase the tooth surface ,therapeutic agent like antimicrobial anti inflammatory ,antiseptic agents and oral transporter.And the methods of preparation is conventional method either by dry or wet granulation method. My aim of the content is to avoid toothpaste tubes and there by using toothpaste tablets .

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Neck of femur fracture is one of the most common fractures of elderly age group. Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty of Hip is most widely accepted treatment protocol. Posterior (Southern moore) approach is one of the widely used approach all over the world. In this approach Short external rotators are detached from their insertion and reattached. Hence there is a need to assess the function of External rotation of Hip post operatively. A Methods: Prospective study was carried out in patients with Neck of femur fracture who underwent Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty of Hip with Southern moore approach from May 2021 to May 2022 in a single institution. All patients were followed up and assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months and function of short external rotators was assessed with Augustssons Strength test. Control for the muscle strength was considered opposite (Normal) side of hip. Patients with Any other ipsilateral fractures were excluded. Analysis of the data was done for the external rotator muscle strength at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months with comparison to normal hip of patient. The overall mean age was 69 years. Results: All the patient were followed up till 6 months post operatively. There was reduced strength of short external rotators in all the patients compared to normal hip at 6 weeks, with no significant difference in strength at 3 months. 12 out of 13 had equal muscle strength at 6 months. This study concludes that Detaching of Short external rotator in southe Conclusion: rn moore approach does not affect the muscle strength at 6 months. However it is found to be weaker in initial month.
Studies on Culex pipiens Complex and the filarial Parasite, Brugia pahangi
Authors: OBIAMIWE B.A.
Published: May 2023

Artificial membrane-feeding technique and a method for rearing and selection of mosquitoes for studying the susceptibility of Culex pipiens to filarial parasite, Brugia pahangi are described. The genes red-eyed (re) and sb (gene in C. pipiens controlling susceptibility to B. pahangi) are recessive and located in the chromosome bearing the sex-determining locus (m), Whereas a Malayan strain of C. p. fatigans was completely refractory, C. p . molestus (London strain) showed 33.3 – 45 % susceptibility to B. pahangi. A red-eyed C. pipiens strain susceptible to B. pahangi was obtained by hybridisation between C. p. molestus (London strain) and C. p . fatigans (Bobo Diculasso strain).
Studies on the Life History of Palpopleura lucia lucia (Aniaoptera : Libellulidae)

The life history of Palpopleura lucia lucia (Drury) has been studied under laboratory conditions. P. Iucia Iucia had 10 larval instars and larva! development lasted on average 39.8 days, the final instar larvae attaining an average body length of 12.81+0.54mm .Morphometric studies involving the principal characters of the external morphology which might be useful in distinguishing the various instars were also carried out.
The Comparative Viability of some Insecticide Susceptible and Resistance Strain of Lucilia cuprina (Wied) and Musca domestica (Linn.) (Dipteria Cyclorrhapha)
Authors: IWUALA MOSES O.E.
Published: May 2023

The comparative viability of eight strains of flies, comprising susceptible and insecticide resistant lines of Lucilia cuprina (Wied.) and Musca domestica (Linn.) was investigated, in terms of their longevity, reproductive potential, and their capacity for increased resistance. Based on survival records, mean longevity for the resistant flies was greater than that of the susceptible flies, although the measure of increased survival did not reflect the degree of resistance. Egg out-put by the resistant flies was significantly less than that of the susceptible strain; but hatch and pupation rates were about the same. Also the emergence rates of the adult flies from pupae were identical for both the resistant and the susceptible strains. Using diagnostic doses of gamma BHC and diazinon, increased tolerance of insecticides was noted in both adults and larvae of all the resistant strains with persisting selection pressure. The increase in resistance was much more in the larvae than in the adult flies; and more so in the organo-phosphorus resistant strains than in the organochlorine resistant strains. Reasons for the differences in longevity and oviposition rates of the susceptible and resistant flies are discussed, and the possible implications for fly control of the higher rates of resistance increase in the larvae are indicated.
Field Parasitisation of the Eggs of Acomthomia tomentosicollis Stol (Hemiptera: Coreidae) at Ibadan , Nigeria
Authors: EGWUATU R. I. , TAYLOR AJIBOLA, T
Published: May 2023

Gryon gnidus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) was found to be the major egg parasite of Acanthomia tomentosicollis Stol, parasitising an average of 38%of the egg batches over a period of one year. Weekly levels of parasitisation ranged from 0 – 76~ but this did not prevent the host from reaching population levels that can cause economic damage. The factors responsible for the latter are discussed. Two other minor egg parasites, Anastatus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) and Ooencyrtus sp, (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) are also reported. The incidence of parasitisation by the two were, however, low ranging from 0.04% to 0.1%.

Authors: NWANA IFEDIORAMMA, E
Published: May 2023

Eggs of Cylas puncticollis laid in self-made cavities in vines or tubers of Ipomoea batatas took 2 – 4 days to hatch at laboratory temperatures of 22C – 31C and 63 – 94%R. H. A larval period of 17 – 23 days and a pupal period of 4 – 6 days were recorded. Over 55% of eggs normally laid in the field were deposited in the basal portions of the vines but in the laboratory, C. puncticollis showed no preference to. lay in the tip, middle or basal portion of the vine. Larval feeding tunnels within the vines ran downwards towards the tuber attachments.

Influence of wine storytelling on the global wine tourism experience
Authors: Santos Vasco , Dias Alvaro , Ramos Paulo , Madeira Arlindo , Sousa Bruno
Published: May 2023

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the role of wine storytelling as an antecedent in the wine tourism experience, namely on other constructs such as winescape attributes, sensorial attraction, wine excitement and cultural experience. This study analyses the combined use of five wine tourism experience dimensions as well the influence of storytelling as a key antecedent of the wine experience. This study extends existing knowledge by identifying new key drivers which focus on wine tourist behavioural responses within visits to the wine cellars. Data were collected within two wine tourism settings in Madeira and Porto wine cellars, from two convenience samples of 647 international wine tourists. Using partial least square structural equation modeling, the results show a direct impact of wine storytelling on the wine tourism experiences of wine tourists, through winescape attributes and sensorial attraction, that also act as mediators, with wine excitement and cultural experience as the outcomes of the visit/tasting.
