Authors:   Lecturer professor PhD, Department of Music, Faculty of Reformed Theology and Music, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Email: noemi.miklos@ubbcluj.ro., Miklós Noémi
Published: July 2023

"Zoltán Kodály composed only two works for organ solo, the Organ Mass (Organoedia) and a Praeludium, which forms the introductory movement to the Pange lingua choral work. Nevertheless, his works involving the organ play a significant role in Hungarian organ music. The Hungarian idiom, characteristic for the composer's compositional style, is also reflected in the organ works, which form a very special, one might say exotic patch of color in the international organ repertoire. Keywords: organ, orchestra, choir, solo, accompaniment, text"

Current Trends in Russian Trade in Goods with the EU and China
Authors: Sidorov A. A.
Published: July 2023

The article examines the current trends in Russia’s foreign trade with the EU and China in the context of sanctions restrictions imposed by “unfriendly” countries.

Aim. The study aims to explore current trends in Russia’s foreign trade in goods with the EU and China in 2022.

Objectives. The author conducts an analysis of the dynamics of Russia’s trade with the EU and China; identifies the main commodity groups that have contributed to the changes in trade with the EU and China; explores the impact of sanctions restrictions on Russia’s trade with the EU; assesses the possibilities of reorienting Russia’s foreign trade towards China.

Methods. The main methods are the analysis of current statistics of foreign trade in goods between the EU and China; a comparative analysis of the dynamics of trade in commodity groups and individual goods with the EU and China; method of mirror statistics (due to the suspension of the publication of official data by the Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia).

Results. The analysis shows a decrease in trade turnover between Russia and the EU and its growth with China. With the EU the decline in exports was mainly due to metal industry products, chemical products, precious stones and metals, and timber; in imports —  at the expense of machinery and equipment. Trade with China in the main commodity groups has expanded, most significantly in terms of exports —  in chemical products, in terms of imports —  in machinery and equipment.

Conclusions. The role of Russian exports of mineral fuels and energy as the basis for trade with the EU and China in 2022 has strengthened in the face of sanctions restrictions and rising prices. Russia’s trade with the EU reduced mainly due to the sanctioned goods. The reorientation of Russia’s foreign trade towards China is partially possible, with the restraining factors: in terms of imports —  China’s lack of strong positions in certain high-tech goods; in terms of exports —  objective limitations on China’s domestic market capacity, a slowdown in economic growth, a decrease in the energy intensity of the economy, competition with Russia.

Authors: Lysunets M. V.
Published: July 2023

The relevance of the study stems from the need to establish a mechanism for cross-border carbon regulation in the global economy.

The subject of the study is different systems of carbon pricing in international practice in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The purpose of the work is to analyse the current state of decarbonisation of the economy and energy transition as well as the challenges, taking into account current trends in the world economy; to identify the existing problems in the further development of transboundary carbon regulation. Using data from official Russian and foreign sources one can examine specific features and shortcomings of the major existing systems of carbon regulation in international practice, one can also analyse carbon charges in major countries and regions of the world from the perspective of sufficiency for meeting carbon neutrality targets by 2050.

The study is based on a comprehensive approach to the consideration of possible options for the development of international carbon regulation and pricing. In the course of the research, the authors identify the existing problems in the decarbonisation of the world economy; study the objectives and possible consequences of the introduction of a carbon tax in the European region in 2026; and study the scenarios for the further development of the Russian economy as part of the global energy transition as set out in the Strategy for Socio-Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The main directions for the development of Russia’s regional system of international carbon units trade were also outlined and the prospects for this system integration into the international emissions trading system were assessed.

Published: July 2023

The relevance of the topic of economic models of innovative activity based on digital platforms is due, firstly, to the importance of the transition of the modern economy to an innovative development path; secondly, the importance of analyzing international experience in the development of innovative systems in order to possibly use the approaches that have developed in the world to form a national model of innovative development.

The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility of using the experience of implementing innovative activity models in individual countries of the world in shaping the directions for the development of the economy of the Russian Federation in order to improve the indicators of its socio-economic development.

The object of the study is the development of innovative activities of economic entities in the context of digitalization; the subject of research is digital platforms. The authors analyzed the ranking of the most innovative countries in the world; the types of models of innovative activity of developed countries are identified (leadership in science, dissemination of innovations, stimulation of innovations); the authors also traced the relationship, for which model of innovation, what types of platforms are most characteristic. The article substantiates the fact that a significant number of effects from innovation activity is achieved through the use of certain technologies and the modernization (restructuring) of individual business processes in the implementation of inter-company interactions based on digital platforms. Based on the characteristics and features of each considered type, the authors propose the most appropriate types of digital platforms for use in the implementation of one or another model of innovative activity.

The practical significance of the proposals lies in the fact that, depending on the chosen development strategy, the use of one or another type of digital platform will be effective for a particular economic entity.

GOOD OR BAD TEACHING PRACTICES? LEARNING FROM EFL CLASSROOMS
Authors: Suwartono Tono , Mularsih Pipit Sri , Khomsatun Khomsatun
Published: July 2023

Many factors why EFL learners in Indonesia tend to think that English is difficult to learn, one of which is how the teachers "cook" the teaching learning process to make them "drooling" and "want to eat" English more and more. In other words, teachers should be able to make the "recipe", execute the recipe in sequence, and then "garnish the dish" to make the students tempted to enjoy the material taught. Hence, this article investigates the reasons why most EFL learners reluctantly learn English and and find it difficult to master it. Literature review method was conducted to explore this study which is hoped to answer the questions put forward within this study. No "wow" beginning and poor teacher creativities are some of the main issues of EFL teachers which result in reluctance in the part of students in learning process. Additionally, teacher talks time (TTT), teacher centered learning, and other factors are discussed in this paper to be overcome by EFL teachers. Therefore, training and workshops on creative teaching for teachers are encouraged to conduct and a better attention to EFL teachers' quality control from the schools management and stakeholers should be given.

The current study aims at analysing phonological production of Sundanese beginner EFL learners in an elementary school in West Java. This study analyses both the production of vowels and consonants that are particularly present in English language but are not in the learners’ L1 i.e., Sundanese. Qualitative approach was used in the study. Participants were asked to read two English short stories titled “A Good Boy” and “A Greedy Mouse” while being recorded. Their recording was then transcribed using phonetic transcription. The learners’ phonological productions were then classified using the chart from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The study shows that the Sundanese EFL learners’ phonological production is heavily influenced by their first language.  There are several common mistakes found in the learners’ production of vowels, such as [a] ↔ [Ʌ], [e], [eə], [u:], [ɔ] 2. [ə] ↔ [e], [u], [Ʌ], [ei], [a], [aʊ], [ʊə] 3. [ʊ] ↔[u], [ɔ] 4. [i:] ↔ [I], [e], [ə] 5. [з]→[ei], [e], [ə] 6. [əʊ]→[ə], [ɔ], [ɔi], [u], [з] 7. [æ]→[e], [ei], [a], [ɔ], [i:], [Ʌ] 8. [aʊ]→[u], [a], [ɔ], [ə] 9. [ɒ]→[ə], [a], [ɔ], [e]. MIn the production of consonants, the common mistakes are: 1. [ð] ↔ [d], [h], [t], [ʤ], [ʧ] 2. [ʃ] ↔ [s], [ʧ] 3. [v], [f] →[p] 3. [ʤ]→[k], [ʧ], [g], [r] 4. [ŋ]→[n], [g], [s] 5. [k]→[ʧ], [ŋ] 6. [Ɵ]→[d], [t] 7. [d]→[h], [t], [n], [j], [l] 8. [ʧ]→[t], [ʃ] 9. [j]↔[r] 10. [l]↔[d] 10. [w]→[s], [j] 11. [n]↔[d] 12. [t]→[n], [h]. The results confirm several previous studies which consequently suggests that these learners need specific approach in EFL learning if their target is to be as close as possible to the standard pronunciation of English.

The study aims to explore the role of the village government in managing natural tourism in Citorek Kidul Village, Lebak Regency, based on Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Tourism. The development of natural tourism in the Country Above the Clouds has both positive impacts and challenges for the local community. To enhance the management of this tourism site and attract more tourists, the involvement of the community and relevant stakeholders, particularly the government, is crucial. The research focuses on understanding the licensing procedure for managing natural tourism in the Country Above the Clouds, based on the regional regulation. The empirical juridical method with a descriptive analytical research specification is employed, using secondary data supplemented by primary data gathered through interviews with the Head of the Tourism Destination Division of Lebak Regency and the Head of Citorek Kidul Village. The study reveals that the village government's role in managing natural tourism is not yet optimal due to the insufficient fulfillment of the principles of independence and equality outlined in the regional regulation. Additionally, the licensing process is affected by inhibiting factors such as limited human resources with inadequate understanding of the OSS system, lack of facilities and infrastructure, and limited budget. On the other hand, driving factors include the tourism potential of the captivating cloud-covered mountains, community cooperation through organizations like "pokdarwis," and support and motivation from the village government.
Impact of Glycemic Control on Coronary Inflammation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Authors: Jiang Jinyao , Yin Yan , Li Yilin , Xu Bihe , Zou Zhiguo , Ding Song , Pu Jun
Published: July 2023

Background: Coronary inflammation causes significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic patients. This study investigated the relationship between coronary local inflammation, detected by pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI), and different blood glucose control levels in low-risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without diabetes. Methods: A total of 309 patients with low-risk ACS were classified into three groups: non-diabetes, well-regulated diabetes, and poorly regulated diabetes. Pericoronary FAI around the proximal or left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA), were evaluated by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and systemic inflammatory variables and other biochemical indicators were detected by flow cytometry. Results: Pericoronary FAI values around the proximal LAD, LCX, and RCA in poorly regulated diabetes were significantly higher than those in well-regulated diabetes and non-diabetes, whereas those in well-regulated diabetes were not statistically different from those in non-diabetes. Further, plasma glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level was positively correlated with the pericoronary FAI values in LAD, LCX, and RCA. However, no significantly increased systemic inflammatory mediators were found in diabetic patients with poor glycemic control. Conclusions: Diabetic patients with poor glycemic control may have higher coronary local inflammation as detected by pericoronary FAI surrounding the three major coronary arteries. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05590858.
Inhibition of Myocardial Remodeling and Heart Failure by Traditional Herbal Medications: Evidence from Ginseng and ginkgo biloba
Authors: Karmazyn Morris , Gan Xiaohong Tracey
Published: July 2023

Herbal-based medications have been used as therapeutic agents for thousands of years, particularly in Asian cultures. It is now well established that these herbal medications contain potent bioactive phytochemicals which exert a plethora of beneficial effects such as those seen on the cardiovascular system. Among the most widely studied of these herbal agents is ginseng, a member of the genus Panax, which has been shown to produce beneficial effects in terms of reducing cardiac pathology, at least in experimental studies. The beneficial effects of ginseng observed in such studies are likely attributable to their constituent ginsenosides, which are steroid-like saponins of which there are at least 100 and which vary according to ginseng species. Many ginseng species such as Panax ginseng (also known as Asian ginseng) and P quinquefolius (North American ginseng) as well as specific ginsenosides have been shown to attenuate hypertrophy as well as other indices of myocardial remodeling in a wide variety of experimental models. Ginkgo biloba on the other hand has been much less studied although the leaf extract of the ancient ginkgo tree has similarly consistently been shown to produce anti-remodeling effects. Ginkgo’s primary bioactive constituents are thought to be terpene trilactones called ginkgolides, of which there are currently seven known types. Ginkgo and ginkgolides have also been shown to produce anti-remodeling effects as have been shown for ginseng in a variety of experimental models, in some cases via similar mechanisms. Although a common single mechanism for the salutary effects of these compounds is unlikely, there are a number of examples of shared effects including antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects as well as inhibition of pro-hypertrophic intracellular signaling such as that involving the calcineurin pathway which results in the upregulation of pro-hypertrophic genes. Robust clinical evidence represented by large scale phase 3 trials is lacking although there is limited supporting evidence from small trials at least with respect to ginseng. Taken together, both ginseng and ginkgo as well as their bioactive components offer potential as adjuvant therapy for the treatment of myocardial remodeling and heart failure.

Published: July 2023

Fiscal decentralization as a product form of political economy policy is a determinant of a country's economic growth. However, the implementation of these policies is considered vulnerable due to a lack of transparency and accountability, so that abuse of authority at the local government level often occurs which causes moral hazard and triggers fiscal policy inefficiencies. We describe the search related to fiscal decentralization through this research and how the potential for moral hazard can occur in Indonesia. This type of research is a literature study using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data collected is in the form of results from literature reviews, journals, books, newspapers, and documentation that are considered relevant. After reviewing, criticizing, and synthesizing representative literature in such a way, we are able to find several facts indicating that fiscal decentralization can be a solution to overcome economic inequality, on the other hand it can also be utilized by various parties for personal gain. With various polarizations built by the authorities, moral hazard has the potential to occur at any time.

Berdasarkan hasil observasi awal yang dilakukan tim Abdimas pada komunitas PKK di Desa Pantai Mekar,   terdapat paling tidak 3 aspek permasalahan terkait pemberdayaan wanita, yaitu: Mayoritas keluarga di Desa Pantai Mekar bergantung hanya pada penghasilan suami, sehingga dapat dikatakan wanita di Desa Pantai Mekar kurang berdaya secara ekonomi, Desa Pantai Mekar merupakan wilayah di Bekasi yang memiliki hutan mangrove yang cukup luas, saat ini telah tercipta produk hasil mangrove seperti dodol mangrove, sirup mangrove dan kepiting crispy. Hanya saja saat ini kemasannya masih sangat sederhana, sehingga kurang dapat bersaing dengan produk serupa di pasaran. Produk yang sangat inovatis saat ini belum memiliki sistem pemasaran yang masif. Pola pemasaran yang dilakukan saat ini masih sangat sederhana hanya diikutsertakan saja pada bazar yang kadangkala diadakan oleh pemerintah daerah. Disisi lain, perlu sistem pemasaran yang lebih modern untuk proses pengenalan dan penentrasi pasar. PKK Desa Pantai Mekar telah mencoba untuk membuat kuliner berbahan Mangrove untuk diolah menjadi Sirup, Dodol dan Selai. Saat ini juga Tim PKM Ubhara Jaya dan PKK Desa Pantai Mekar sedang melakukan perbaikan dalam proses produksi, pemasaran dan perijinan terkait merek. Diharapkan kuliner berbasis Mangrove dapat menjadi sumber perbaikan ekonomi bagi para wanita di Desa Pantai Mekar

Correlates of compulsive use of social media and academic performance decrement: A stress-strain-outcome approach
Authors: Singh Sonali , Gupta Pragya , Singh Jasial Sumeet , Mahajan Aarushi
Published: July 2023

Social media users feel overwhelmed by the amount of information inundated by followers and friends they have on various platforms of social media. They devote a lot of time to maintaining these online connections. This causes social media fatigue and poses a serious risk to social media users' wellbeing and productivity. Students could become victims of compulsive social media usage, which could lead to a decline in their academic performance. With the help of the stress-strain-outcome framework, this study attempts to establish the indirect relationship between compulsive use of social media and academic performance decrement via social media fatigue. Further, this study examined the moderating role of self-control (SC) in the relationship between social media fatigue and its negative effect on academic outcomes, which has not been analyzed so far. The effect of moderated mediation was assessed using the PROCESS Macro. The findings of the study suggest the mediating role of social media fatigue between compulsive use of social media and academic performance decrement. Further, the moderating role of self-control was established between social media fatigue and academic performance decline. The originality of the study lies in associating social media fatigue with decrement in academic performance and showing how self-control is helpful in mitigating its effects. This analysis can be insightful for students and educators who tend to ignore the negative impact of students' over-reliance on social media on their academic performance. The findings suggest that social media overuse by students requires self-regulation and requires careful scrutiny by educators in creating appropriate solutions to lessen social media's detrimental influence on higher education. The research provides useful recommendations for self-control on social media usage behavior.

Authors: Sinan Mukaddes , Yalcin Ozlem , Karakas Zeynep , Goksel Evrim , Ertan Nesrin Zeynep
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND:

Thalassemia patients have reduced red cell deformability and decreased plasma zinc levels in their blood.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of zinc (Zn) on the hemorheological parameters and antioxidant enzyme activities in β-thalassemia major (TM) and healthy volunteers (HV).

METHODS:

Hemorheological parameters were measured using LORCA (laser-assisted optical rotational cell analyzer) after adjusting the hematocrit to 40%. Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4.7H2O) was used for Zn incubation with a concentration of 0.5μg/dl. Oxidative stress and antioxidant status were determined using commercial kits.

RESULTS:

Data showed that after Zn incubation, EImax, the area under the EI-osmolarity curve (Area), and Omax decreased in TM. However, no significant difference was observed in the osmotic deformability parameters of HV. The increased elongation index was obtained at different shear stresses for TM and HV, and SS1/2 decreased in both groups. The AMP and aggregation index (AI) decreased in TM, and the required time for half of the maximum aggregation (t1/2) increased in HV. However, Zn did not affect oxidative parameters in both groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study showed that Zn incubation increased deformability and decreased aggregation in thalassemic erythrocytes. It means that Zn supplementation will contribute to microcirculation in thalassemia patients.

Accelerated non-negative tensor completion via integer programming

The problem of tensor completion has applications in healthcare, computer vision, and other domains. However, past approaches to tensor completion have faced a tension in that they either have polynomial-time computation but require exponentially more samples than the information-theoretic rate, or they use fewer samples but require solving NP-hard problems for which there are no known practical algorithms. A recent approach, based on integer programming, resolves this tension for non-negative tensor completion. It achieves the information-theoretic sample complexity rate and deploys the blended conditional gradients algorithm, which requires a linear (in numerical tolerance) number of oracle steps to converge to the global optimum. The tradeoff in this approach is that, in the worst case, the oracle step requires solving an integer linear program. Despite this theoretical limitation, numerical experiments show that this algorithm can, on certain instances, scale up to 100 million entries while running on a personal computer. The goal of this study is to further enhance this algorithm, with the intention to expand both the breadth and scale of instances that can be solved. We explore several variants that can maintain the same theoretical guarantees as the algorithm but offer potentially faster computation. We consider different data structures, acceleration of gradient descent steps, and the use of the blended pairwise conditional gradients algorithm. We describe the original approach and these variants, and conduct numerical experiments in order to explore various tradeoffs in these algorithmic design choices.

Background

Plasmodium spp. infection triggers the production of inflammatory cytokines that are essential for parasite control, and conversely responsible for symptoms of malaria. Monocytes play a role in host defense against Plasmodium vivax infection and represent the main source of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is a key regulator preventing exacerbated inflammatory responses. Studies suggested that different clinical presentations of malaria are strongly associated with an imbalance in the production of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Methods

A convenience sampling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Plasmodium vivax-infected patients and healthy donors were tested for the characterization of cytokine and adenosine production and the expression of ectonucleotidases and purinergic receptors.

Results

Here we show that despite a strong inflammatory response, monocytes also bear a modulatory role during malaria. High levels of IL-10 are produced during P. vivax infection and its production can be triggered in monocytes by P. vivax-infected reticulocytes. Monocytes express high levels of ectonucleotidases, indicating their important role in extracellular ATP modulation and consequently in adenosine production. Plasmatic levels of adenosine are not altered in patients experiencing acute malaria; however, their monocyte subsets displayed an increased expression of P1 purinergic receptors. In addition, adenosine decreases Tumor Necrosis Factor production by monocytes, which was partially abolished with the blockage of the A2a receptor.

Conclusion

Monocytes have a dual role, attempting to control both the P. vivax infection and the inflammatory response. Purinergic receptor modulators emerge as an untapped approach to ameliorate clinical malaria.
The importance of time in nutrient regulation: a case study with spotted-wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii)
Authors: Deans Carrie , Hutchison William
Published: July 2023

Introduction

The ability of living organisms to acquire the nutrients needed to carry out required physiological functions has important consequences for fitness. However, an organism must not simply meet the requirements for individual nutrients, but must ingest an optimal balance of multiple nutrients. Despite this, animals rarely consume truly balanced resources, and instead commonly feed selectively across multiple unbalanced resources to reach an optimal balance, i.e., intake target. Nutritional research has predominantly focused on the behavioral strategies employed during nutrient regulation, as well as the fitness consequence of failing to meet intake targets, but little work has been done on the temporal aspects of this process. For instance, within what timeframe must organisms reach their intake target before a fitness cost is incurred? Hours, days, weeks?

Methods

In this study, we investigated how nutrient regulation interval impacts consumption and performance in adult female spotted-wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). Females were constrained to either a protein- orcarbohydrate-biased diet over different time intervals and at different schedules, while control flies were constrained to one diet for the entire feeding period.

Results

Regulation interval had a significant impact on feeding behavior and consumption. Total consumption was highest on the shorter interval treatments, where diets were alternated more frequently, and declined as the interval period increased. The relative consumption of both diets was statistically-different across intervals and was higher for the carbohydrate-biased diet. Consumption of the protein-biased diet was more variable across intervals and was more strongly impacted by the daily timing of diet switches. Performance data showed that shorter regulation intervals led to longer fly lifespans, a result commonly observed in studies exploring the impacts of diet macronutrient ratio variability on performance.

Discussion

These results show that the temporal aspects of nutrition, such as feeding intervals and the timing of resource availability, can have strong impacts on feeding behavior, nutrient regulation, and fitness. These results provide an insight into how consumers may deal with changes in host phenology, the availability of hosts, and changes in nutrient availability within hosts. Understanding these mechanisms will be important for predicting responses to changes in nutrient cycling and resource availability mediated by natural and anthropogenic habitat modifications, such as global climate change.

Monkeypox (mpox) is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the mpox virus. Mpox symptoms are similar to smallpox with less severity and lower mortality. As yet mpox virus is not characterized by as high transmissibility as some severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, still, it is spreading, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM). Thus, taking preventive measures, such as vaccination, is highly recommended. While the smallpox vaccine has demonstrated considerable efficacy against the mpox virus due to the antigenic similarities, the development of a universal anti-mpox vaccine remains a necessary pursuit. Recently, nucleic acid vaccines have garnered special attention owing to their numerous advantages compared to traditional vaccines. Importantly, DNA vaccines have certain advantages over mRNA vaccines. In this study, a potentially universal DNA vaccine candidate against mpox based on conserved epitopes was designed and its efficacy was evaluated via an immunoinformatics approach. The vaccine candidate demonstrated potent humoral and cellular immune responses in silico, indicating the potential efficacy in vivo and the need for further research.
