Published: December 2023

Ukraine’s entry into the path of innovative economic development requires modernisation of the interaction between stakeholders of education, science and business to create a network of cooperation, taking into account the needs of stakeholders due to the situation in Ukraine as of 2023, focusing on changes in the world economy. The purpose of the article was to build a structural and logical scheme of analytical support for identifying trends and problems in the development of interaction between stakeholders in education, science and business. The methodology was based on the use of logical, systemic and comparative analysis. The analysis of budgetary funding for priority areas of innovation activity and sales of innovative products (services) and new technologies by budgetary funds managers showed no trends and priorities for the development of technology transfer and other intellectual property rights carried out by universities, research institutions, enterprises and organisations. The generalisation of changes and prospects of legislative regulation of support for educational, innovative, scientific and technical activities of business focuses on post-war reconstruction, which involves increasing confidence in the educational, scientific and expert activities of institutions for their effective functioning and increasing the volume of research funding. The analysis of the integration aspects of the research and innovation system into the European Research Area and support from international scientific organisations and foreign governments proved the support received from many national scientific communities and international scientific organisations in the creation of the portal for international scientific and technical cooperation and the international consortium for infrastructure and research. The practical significance of the study lies in the proposed directions for improving interaction with business of educational and scientific institutions in the process of implementing innovations separately by stages of interaction with stakeholders (attraction, financing and implementation)

THE ROLE OF THE NAVY IN SERVING THE SECURITY, PROSPERITY AND ORDER AT SEA: AN OVERVIEW OF THE INDO-PACIFIC CONSTRUCT
Authors: Krishnan Tharishini , Subramanian Puspanathan
Published: December 2023

In the context of geostrategic discourse, the rise of the Indo-Pacific construct has often been discussed in terms of power politics. This paper argues that the IP does not necessarily mean excellent power competition but can also promote a progressive value in the global maritime domain, such as creating a rule-based order at sea, freedom of navigation, and maritime connectivity. In order to comprehend the argument, this paper studies the extent to which the Navy can work towards achieving these values, as the sea is the core business of navies around the world, both during peace and wartime. Specifically, this paper seeks to analyse the role and function of navies in serving the common interests of the IP and its commitment towards a purpose, security, prosperity, and order at sea, namely first, ensuring the safety and security of the sea lines of communication, second, building on regional and global maritime networks, and third, assisting humanitarian and disaster relief and search and rescue. This paper finds that the Navy plays a significant role, and all these aspects are inclusive and shared with states; as such, navies are to serve the interests of the commitment of the IP.

Pandemic perspectives: How students navigate social relationships
Authors: Tahir Syed Inshaallah , Jan Tasleema
Published: December 2023

The development of social bonds helps to keep the social fabric of society intact. However, The Covid-19 outbreak has caused mayhem on social relationships and has changed the manner individuals interact with one another. Face-to-face communications were typically limited to primary members amid the apex of Covid-19 restrictions because some 'weak' ties were lost, and connections grew more confined to those closest. The case study approach was used in this qualitative work to understand students' perceptions of many facets of social relationships (family, relatives, teachers, classmates, coworkers, friends, and strangers) and how the Covid-19 Pandemic affects their interpersonal relationships. Six Post graduate students at Kashmir University participated in the study and were purposively selected and interviewed. The data for this study was collected by semi-structured interviews. The face-to-face interview with PG students at Kashmir University lasted up for forty-five minutes per student focused on the individuals’ stories and interpretations of their viewpoints about social relationships and experience of change in social relationships brought about by the Covid-19 outbreak. The results of this research lead to the conclusion that the existence of social ties has a great beneficial influence on psychological and physiological health, adding to an individual's overall well-being, but the lack of social relationships increases the likelihood of psychological discomfort. Social relationships provide freedom of self-disclosure to expose one's personal difficulties and feelings. The loss of in-person interactions as a result of the Covid 19 outbreak, as well as the total shift to virtual connections, had been a major difficulty. Increased virtual relations has created societal chaos and diminished value system. A significant drift in norms of interaction has been found.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. Long-term care is series of health and social care services provided at home or in an institutional environment to people with reduced functional capacity. Even though it is known that the quality of life (QoL) of elderly is on a lower level when compared to younger people, there is a small amount of information about QoL of long-term health care patients. The aim of our study was to determine the difference in QoL, depression, anxiety and stress of longterm health care users placed in and outside the institution.

Methods. This cross-sectional study included 100 long-term healthcare users, divided in two groups. First group consisted of 50 respondents from primary level of health care and second group consisted of 50 residents of nursing home. The research was conducted in the period from June to July 2022. A general socio-demographic questionnaire, SF-36 health questionnaire for estimating the QoL and the scale of depression, anxiety and stress (DASS-21) were used as instruments in this study.

Results. Respondents who were institutionalized had significantly lower values of domains and summary scores of QoL compared to respondents whose health care took place outside of institutions, where the difference was observed in physical health summary score (37.67±6.20% vs. 50.39±10.74%, p<0.001), and the mental health summary score (44.87±11.82% vs. 51.83±16.01%, p =0.015). Respondents who received long-term health care institutionally had significantly (p=0.011) more mild anxiety (12%) and moderate anxiety (34%) compared to respondents who received long-term health care outside the institution (4% vs. 14%).

Conclusion. Our results showed that residents of nursing home had significantly worse physical and mental functioning, as well as more frequent occurrence of anxiety symptoms compared to users of longterm health care placed outside institutions, in home environment.

Analysis Of Facts or Circumstances That Are Proven Simply In The Context Of Proving Other Creditors In Bankruptcy Applications
Authors: Nadima Giacinta , C. Adam Richard
Published: December 2023

In filing a bankruptcy petition, the petitioner must fulfill the requirements for the petition to be granted by the panel of judges. These requirements are stipulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 8 paragraph (2) of Law No. 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations. According to these requirements, the bankruptcy petitioner must provide evidence that there are other creditors, either by presenting these other creditors as witnesses or by the debtor's acknowledgment in the form of promissory notes or other documents. However, in its implementation, it turns out that the method of proving this is subject to multiple interpretations, leading to legal uncertainty, namely whether other creditors need to be present in the hearing or if the debtor's acknowledgment is sufficient. This research will be conducted using a normative research method, which involves studying legislation with an approach to bankruptcy cases in Indonesia

A Course Design for Remote Teaching Advanced Topics in Neuroscience
Authors: Ramos Raul , Rivera-Rodriguez Emmanuel J
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed educators to engage in remote teaching out of necessity, but as our relationship with teaching technology grows, remote teaching has emerged as a suitable substitute for in-person education. In this manuscript, we detail a course design for remote teaching advanced topics in neuroscience at the undergraduate level. The course and its different features were designed to fulfill a set of learning goals that closely align with those put forth by the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Furthermore, these learning goals can be applied to any advanced neuroscience class, regardless of the topic material. To achieve these goals, we created a curriculum with distinct design features. These features included a synchronous lecture-discussion system, asynchronous lesson content videos, guest principal investigators, and deemphasized grading. Instead of traditional examination, the students participated in assignments designed to give them extensive science communication experience. At the end of the course, we indirectly assessed student outcomes using an Instructor Course Evaluation survey distributed by the university. From this survey, we were able to conclude that students’ perception of the final course outcome was highly satisfactory, with strong indications that the students believed we met our learning goals. Thus, the course design described herein represents a tool for others wishing to utilize it for remote teaching advanced topics in science.
A Versatile Psychoneuroimmunology Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience
Authors: Mesmer Vanessa , Gaudier-Diaz Monica M
Published: December 2023

The Psychoneuroimmunology Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (PNI CURE) was designed with the purpose of engaging undergraduate students in research and discovery. As part of this experience, students were assigned to a team based on their personal interests. Each team selected a psychosocial variable of interest (e.g., sleep, belongingness, stress, or happiness) and identified two well-validated questionnaires to assess it. Then, student volunteers donated blood samples and completed student-selected questionnaires via Qualtrics. The blood samples were assayed by the course instructor for proinflammatory cytokines. With the collected data, students 1) evaluated the association between peripheral inflammation and their psychosocial variable of interest and 2) created hypotheses regarding inflammation in the brain. Students’ experimental results were reported in the form of a research manuscript and scientific poster, both of which comprised 15 percent of their course grade. Further, to evaluate the effectiveness of the PNI CURE, students were asked to complete assessment surveys before and after project implementation. Assessment results demonstrate that participating in the PNI CURE increased self-efficacy and research identity among students. Besides exposing undergraduates at UNC-CH to a comprehensive research experience, we hope to inspire neuroscience educators to adopt and adapt the PNI CURE as a mechanism to broaden undergraduate research opportunities in neuroscience.

Introduction: The common and key in the pathogenesis of PCOS and chronic endometritis (CE) is the chronic course of inflammation. Persistent damage to the endometrium leads to impaired endometrial receptivity and creates conditions for the development of infertility. The purpose of the study was to identify the most common endometrial pathology in women with PCOS and infertility and to analyze the effectiveness of infertility treatment in women with this pathology, to evaluate reproductive outcomes. Materials and methods: Analyzed 240 case histories of patients of LLC “Clinic of Professor Pasman”, Novosibirsk Clinical Oncological Dispancery for the period 2012-2022, diagnosed with PCOS, Infertility. Patients were included in the study group by random sequential selection. The frequency of occurrence of each of the PCOS phenotypes was analyzed, as well as the prevalence of endometrial pathology. The most common pathology is chronic endometritis, therefore, in addition to the standard methods of treating infertility in PCOS, CE was additionally treated by the following methods: photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the introduction of a macrophage medium into the uterine cavity. Results and discussion: In 61% of cases, hysteroscopy was performed and endometrial pathology was detected, which indicates the need to diagnose the endometrium in women with PCOS, especially before using ART. The most common endometrial pathology is chronic endometritis (61.6%). PDT and the introduction of macrophage medium increase the effectiveness of the treatment of CE and infertility in PCOS. The results obtained indicate a high incidence of PCOS without hyperandrogenism and obesity.

Published: December 2023

Food fraud is a concern for both consumers and business operators, but can simply be controlled by food industries ensuring compliance with food laws as a moral duty for authentic food quality and safety. Intentional tampering with food content at any stage of production, processing and trade, may have far reaching implication as it may constitute a risk to human, animal, plant and environmental health. Therefore, there is need for quality of a foods to be genuine and undisputed in its nature, origin, identity, and claims, and meet expected properties (i.e., authentic). Ensuring food authenticity necessitates efficient and effective tracing and tracking of food products, particularly those with low production levels visà-vis demand, coupled with high nutritional, medicinal and or economic values. Detection of food fraud remains complex when considering the complex nature of foods. Besides discussing food fraud and related terminologies, this paper focuses on the combined spectroscopy and chemometrics approach for assessment of food authenticity Understanding of the nature of fraud, gathering the appropriate datasets, establishing global partnerships (where need be), predicting vulnerability, while employing food management systems, may facilitate management and or prevention of food fraud. Viewing the complex nature of food, and then with intentional tampering with its nature, detecting fraud associated with any given food and or food product remains complex. Spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics, although sophisticated, have revealed a good fit for the job, and hand held tools such as Scio (consumer physics, which is used to scan foods in the IR range) have been made to surpass the challenge.

The study determined the perceptions of teachers at Bacolod-Kalawi National High School towards distance learning amid the pandemic. Distance learning, being one of the flexible learning options approved by the Department of Education, was observed during the school year 2021-2022. This study used descriptive-quantitative research design to describe the profile of the respondents in terms of their perception towards distance learning to ensure valid information and reliable response of the respondents. Qualitative research design was used through semi-structured survey questionnaire as the main instrument in data gathering in securing information on the perceptions and challenges of distance learning by using three open-ended questions relevant to the perception being tackled. In selection of the respondents, thirty-three (33) teacher-respondents of the study were randomly selected from the teachers experiencing and teaching through distance learning at Bacolod-Kalawi National High School. The results indicated that the support of the school administration in the conduct of distance learning played an important role in the performance of the respondents’ duties while giving importance to the quality of instruction, encouraging their learners to make good use of technology, but having to deal with the hidden or unexpected expenses caused by this mode of learning.

As the world deals with the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact is especially felt in the educational landscape, notably among nursing students. The sudden shift in the learning environment during this time has sparked considerable mental and emotional stress, potentially influencing their well-being and academic standing. This research sought to examine the correlation between burnout and overall well-being in nursing students from two specific universities during the transitional phase back to face-to-face learning. An extensive questionnaire that was completed by the students themselves and used in the research was used to thoroughly evaluate many aspects of burnout and well-being. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal achievement were the factors of burnout that were explored, and the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of wellbeing were assessed. To guarantee a trustworthy interpretation of the gathered data, analytical procedures including chi-square and correlation tests were used. The findings revealed significant insights into the experiences and trials faced by nursing students in this changed academic climate. Evidently, varying degrees of burnout were experienced by these students, with emotional exhaustion being a recurring theme. A noteworthy correlation was observed between the age of the students and their inclination towards depersonalization, suggesting that age might play a crucial role in the management of academic pressures and responsibilities. Furthermore, the research revealed notable variations in mental well-being across gender and in overall well-being across age, particularly in the realm of social dimensions. This crucial finding highlights the pandemic's differentiated impacts on various demographic groups and the necessity for specifically tailored strategies to counter these unique challenges. The findings indicate a nuanced negative correlation between burnout and well-being, suggesting that an increase in burnout levels does not have a significant impact on the decrease of well-being levels. While lacking statistical significance, the aforementioned data implies the significance of sustained endeavors aimed at mitigating burnout and its possible unfavorable impacts on overall welfare. In brief, this study offers crucial perspectives on the encounters of nursing learners during the post-pandemic era, with a particular emphasis on the correlation between burnout and wellness. Despite the presence of a weak correlation, the data highlights the necessity for targeted interventions that aim to mitigate burnout to enhance the general welfare and academic achievement of nursing students who face challenging circumstances.
