Published: September 2024

Background: This study aims to determine whether cigarette smoking and anxiety degrees are related among nurses. Methods: A correlation design study was conducted at Baquba Teaching Hospital in Diyala Governorate, and the study period extended from September 10th, 2023, to January 28th, 2024. A nonprobability purposive sample was used to include 200 nurses working at Baquba Teaching Hospital, Iraq. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from January 10th to February 7th, 2024. There were two components to the study instruments. Initially, the demographic sheet contained the individuals' sociodemographic data. The Taylor manifest anxiety scale is included in the second section. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Results: Findings of the current study showed that 47.5% of nurses had a moderate level of anxiety, while 35.5% experienced a small level of anxiety, and 17.0% suffered from a severe level of anxiety regarding smoking cigarettes. The nonparametric correlation analysis (Spearman's rho) carried out to examine the relationship between cigarette smoking and anxiety levels among nurses yielded a significant correlation coefficient of 0.01 (p > 0.05). The findings revealed a strong and positive correlation between all aspects related to cigarette smoking and anxiety levels. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, it concluded that nurses reported moderate levels of anxiety, and it was displayed that there was a relationship between nurses' anxiety levels and cigarette smoking depending on their age groups and length of hospital employment. Recommendation: It is recommended that training and educational programs be implemented to cultivate a suitable health promotion culture among nurses, thereby enabling them to offer more effective support to patients who smoke.

Published: September 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects a person's psychological and physical health, which lowers their quality of life. Hemodialysis is a common kind of replacement treatment for patients with chronic renal disease. The data on symptoms is expanding as the need to manage symptoms in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) becomes more widely recognized. Finding non-pharmacological ways to improve CKD patients' quality of life was the goal of this study. A brief overview of the existing research on non-pharmacologic therapies aimed at improving symptoms and enhancing quality of life in dialysis patients with advanced chronic kidney disease is provided in this study. Not only are there no clinical practice guidelines available to treat those frequent symptoms, but there is also a dearth of research about the best ways to integrate symptom intervention techniques into clinical care. According to the present review research, this combination of physical and cognitive behavioral intervention may be employed as a non-pharmacological technique to limit physical and cognitive decline and improve quality of life in the HD population. This suggests a promising direction for further research and application in HD care.
Comparing the Effectiveness of Water Sponging Combined with Antipyretics Versus Antipyretics Alone in Lowering Fever in Children: A Systematic Review
Authors: Widiyanto Aris
Published: September 2024

Background: Fever occurs when the body temperature rises above normal due to external factors, such as exposure to high temperatures or heat sources. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of water sponging in combination with antipyretic versus antipyretic only on reducing body temperature in children with fever. Methods: This was a systematic review of primary studies using true experimental designs collected from online sources published between 1994 until 2024. Articles were screened using the PRISMA flow diagram with the following keywords: body temperature, children, fever, febrile, water sponging, antipyretic, randomized controlled trial. The data was reviewed accordingly. Results: The findings have revealed that three studies found no significant difference in temperature drops between tepid water sponging combined with antipyretics and antipyretics alone. Other studies, however, noted a faster initial drop with the combination, but temperatures equalized after two hours, with some children experiencing additional discomfort. Conclusion: The study concludes that while tepid water sponging combined with antipyretics initially reduces fever faster, both methods equalize within two hours, and the combination may cause additional discomfort.
The Substorms Impact on Processes in the Ionosphere and Plasmasphere of the Earth
Authors: Kotova G. A. , Khalipov V. L. , Stepanov A. E. , Bezrukykh V. V.
Published: September 2024

During magnetospheric substorms in the F region of the ionosphere and up to altitudes of ~1000 km, a polarization jet (PJ) is developed. Measurements of energetic ring current ions on the AMPTE/CCE satellite and driftmeter data on the DMSP satellites evidence that the formation of PJ is associated with the injection of energetic ions (10–100 keV) into the inner magnetosphere during substorms. In the region of PJ development, the characteristics of the ionospheric plasma change: the plasma density decreases, sometimes by an order of magnitude, and at the same time, the plasma temperature increases significantly. In addition, simultaneously with the westward plasma drift, upward plasma drift is usually observed. The upward ion flux from the region of PJ development of ~109 cm–2 s–1 is an order of magnitude greater than the average daytime ion flux from the ionosphere to the plasmasphere. Measurements on the MAGION-5 satellite in the plasmasphere on the same L-shells, where the polarization jet is recorded in the ionosphere, show an increase in the cold ion density. The density “humps” observed near the plasmapause are apparently formed due to plasma flows from the ionosphere accompanying the formation of the polarization jet. Thus, the consequences of substorms are observed throughout almost the entire magnetosphere.

Published: September 2024

For the first time, on an example of the Vecherny Oasis, Thala Hills, Enderby Land, data on the content of microplastic particles (less than 5 mm) in the soils of East Antarctica were obtained. Seven samples taken from a depth of 0–15 cm were analyzed. Two soil fractions (less than 1 mm and 1–5 mm) were studied in 3 replicates (42 individual samples). The technique for isolating microplastic particles included soil sieving, density separation in zinc chloride solution, centrifugation, vacuum filtration, and microscopic analysis. For filtration, glass fiber filters with a pore diameter of 1.6 μm were used. Quantification of microplastic particles was carried out using a microscope, digital camera and advisory software. It was found that microplastic particles present in all analyzed samples. Their number varies from 66 to 1933 units/kg of dry soil. In most cases, particles less than 1 mm predominate, accounting from 70 to 100%. In 70% of cases, fibers dominate, in 30% – fragments of irregularly shaped plastics; films occur singly. There is no clearly defined confinement of increased amount of microplastic particles to infrastructure facilities; this may be a consequence of the influence of other factors, including local and long-range transport.
HOW NIKOLAY NEKRASOV TAUGHT RUSSIA TO LOVE ANIMALS? GRANDPA MAZAI AND THE HARES IN THE LIGHT OF ECOLOGICAL CRITICISM
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Fedotov Andrey , Uspenskij Pavel ,   HSE University
Published: September 2024

This article analyzes two of the main aspects of Nikolay Nekrasov’s poem for children, Grandpa Mazai and the Hares (1871) — the pedagogical and the ecological. The article demonstrates that this story about the rescue of hares during the spring flood, which is a standard selection in poetry readers in Russia, was intended as a graphic illustration of the “economic perspective” from which social elites viewed the Russian peasantry. But the story was so vivid and unusual that the economic aspect overshadowed the ecological issues. This article shows that this poem, addressed to children, was the first ecological text in Russian literature to posit a new type of attitude toward wild animals. Nekrasov’s ecological model took shape in dialogue with a variety of discourses extant at the time – about education, biology, and hunting. The poet’s work was elevated into the literary canon as an example of lyrics about “love for one’s little brothers”. But its message was greatly simplified over time, as other writers who aimed their work solely at children adopted it and gradually transformed “Grandpa Mazai” into just one of many texts that advocated for the humane treatment of animals.
TRANSLATION OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN FROM THE LANGUAGES OF PEOPLE OF USSR: BIBLIOGRAPHIC STATISTICS (1918–1984)
Authors:   The Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maslinsky Kirill
Published: September 2024

Like Soviet literature as a whole, Soviet children’s literature has been institutionally and symbolically constructed as multinational. Unfortunately, the national structure of Soviet children’s book publishing has been mostly neglected by contemporary researchers. The article presents statistical data on the scale and dynamics of translations of children’s books from the languages of the RSFSR and the USSR into Russian. The data comes from the bibliographic indices “Children’s Literature” which covers 1918–1984 years. The data allow to answer the questions: What share of the total resources of Soviet children’s book publishing was allocated to the publication of translations from the national languages of the USSR? How these resources were distributed among different languages? What was the genre composition of works translated from these languages? The bibliographic data indicate that a significant share of the resources of Soviet children’s book publishing was allocated to translations from the languages of the USSR. Meanwhile, in terms of genre composition these translations differed markedly from translations from higher status Western European languages.

Published: September 2024

Hamzah Fansuri was a Sufi figure, writer and Mufti in the Sultanate of Aceh Darussalam during the time of Sultan Alaudin Riayat Syah (1596-1604). The controversy about his thoughts is one of the reasons for the interest in this article. The interesting thing about his thoughts is about wahdatul wujud. At first glance, this thought is normal, but the interesting thing is the understanding that was developed in the process of Islamization in the archipelago when the two schools of Sufism, Sunni and Shia, met. Therefore, this article will discover this side of the controversy and of course its influence on the development of Sufism in Indonesia. Data obtained from library research. The data analysis technique was carried out using qualitative analysis techniques in a deductive manner. The results of this study show that the controversy over Hamzah Fansuri's thoughts about Wahdatul wujud is a Sufi concept that was influenced by the thoughts of previous Sufi figures such as Ibn Arabi and Al-Qunawi. Its influence on the development of Sufism in Indonesia lies in the understanding of Wahdatul Wujud, understood as a single form which is the ultimate reality. Being other than Allah are shadows or manifestations of a single being. Hamzah Fansuri understands that the essence of existence is only one, namely Allah SWT and everything is explained in metaphorical language.

Published: September 2024

Objective: We present a case of synchronous malignancies of rare bladder small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNC) and prostate adenocarcinoma and provide literature review of bladder SCNC. Case(s) presentation: A 72-year-old male smoker presented with 3 months history of gross hematuria. Ultrasonography showed a large hypoechoic mass in the right bladder. TURBT was performed and histopathology of the TURBT specimen showed a high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) demonstrated an isodense heterogenous undefined mass, with irregular border at right anterolateral side of bladder wall. Radical cystoprostatectomy, bilateral radical lymph node dissection and bilateral ureterocutaneostomy was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemical examination after radical cystoprostatectomy revealed bladder small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma coexisting with prostate adenocarcinoma (Gleason score 3+3=6, group 1). The patient eventually succumbed to disease after having symptomatic disease progression and metastatic disease five months after the surgery. Discussion: Bladder SCNC is a rare malignancy with an incidence of 1–9/1,000,000 reported. This tumor has an aggressive clinical course with high incidence of metastasis, and it tends to confer dismal prognosis. No specific clinical symptom exists. Histopathological recognition and immunohistochemistry is required to differentiate this rare entity. Conclusion: Clinicians and pathologists should be alert to the possibility of bladder SCNC despite extremely scarce incidence.
Keywords: Bladder cancer, small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, synchronous malignancy, case report.

Objective: This study aims to report a renal tumor in a horseshoe kidney successfully treated with an open left nephrectomy. Case(s) Presentation: A 3 years old girl with a lump in the left abdomen and intermittent hematuria was referred to our hospital. Whole abdominal contrast CT scan showed the presence of a left renal mass in a horseshoe kidney that infiltrates the left renal artery and is attached to the spleen. The patient underwent preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgical resection. Discussion: In a horseshoe kidney, renal tumors are uncommon. The limited kidney mobilization and access to the renal hilum and the abnormal and highly variable vasculature make surgical treatment of a tumor in a horseshoe kidney extremely difficult. Conclusion: Open surgery continues to be the treatment of choice for horseshoe kidney tumors due to their anatomical complexity, particularly in cases where the tumor is difficult to eradicate.
Keywords: Renal tumor, horseshoe kidney, surgical management.

Peneliti menguji beberapa teori dalam penelitiannya seperti teori-teori Pecking Order, Trade-off Theory, Market Timing dan Agency serta menguji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi struktur modal baik dari internal dan eksternal Perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor struktur modal internal maupun eksternal perusahaan yang banyak diteliti serta melihat faktor-faktor apa saja yang berpengaruh secara signifikan di setiap faktor internal maupun eksternal perusahaan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan data bersumber dari penelitian selama 5 tahun. Metodologi penelitian yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah Systematic Literature Review.  Dengan menggunakan protokol PRISMA diperoleh 30 artikel yang relevan, dari total data jurnal yang terindeks Scopus sebanyak 1.081 artikel, yang diterbitkan dalam periode tahun 2019 hingga 2024. Data yang berhasil dihimpun berasal dari jurnal nasional dan internasional. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa faktor-faktor internal perusahaan yang diteliti, seperti non debt tax shield, struktur kepemiikan perusahaan, earning volatility berpengaruh signifikan terhadap struktur modal perusahaan dan hal ini sejalan dengan teori Pecking Order yang mengasumsikan bahwa untuk menghasilkan laba perusahaan menggunakan dana dari internal perusahaan dan penggunaan utang dilakukan saat sumber-sumber pendanaa internal tidak mencukupi. Sedangkan faktor eksternal Perpajakan merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap struktur modal dan hal ini sejalan dengan teori Trade-off.

Background and Objectives: Time management is an essential skill that enables individuals to participate in daily activities effectively. The assessment of time management skills (ATMS) is a widely used instrument to evaluate time management skills, but its psychometric properties have not been examined in Persian-speaking populations. This study aimed to assess the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the ATMS (ATMS-P). Methods: A convenience sample of 144 healthy adults aged 18-55 years completed the ATMS-P, along with several other questionnaires. Face and content validity were determined using the impact score of each item, content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI) methods. The construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and convergent validity was assessed by correlating the ATMS-P with other related measures. The reliability was assessed using internal consistency and test re-test methods. Results: Face validity impact scores ranged from 2.2 to 4 and the CVR was in an acceptable range of 0.57 to 1, with a CVI of 0.87 to 1. The EFA identified three factors for the Persian version of the ATMS: Time management, organization and planning and emotion regulation. The convergent validity of the ATMS-P was supported by significant correlations with other related measures. The internal consistency of the ATMS-P was excellent (Cronbach’s α coefficient=0.926) and it demonstrated good test re-test reliability (ICC=0.903). Conclusion: The ATMS-P has demonstrated good psychometric properties, making it a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating time management skills in Persian-speaking individuals.

У статті проведено загальний аналіз машинного перекладу на основі правил, виокремлено певні правила, якими керуються дослідники й розробники під час розроблення сучасних систем машинного перекладу. Розглянуто історичний досвід архітектури МП, що включає перше покоління (1960–1980-і роки) й базувалося на прямому перекладі, друге покоління (1980-і роки до теперішнього часу) складається із систем на основі правил, таких як системи передачі й інтерлінгва, а третє покоління (1990-і роки до теперішнього часу) включає системи на основі корпусів, які базуються або на статистичних даних, або на основі прикладів. Обґрунтовано, що машинний переклад на основі правил (Rule-based Machine Translation), також відомий як машинний переклад на основі знань (Knowledgebased Machine Translation), спирається на морфологічні, синтаксичні, семантичні й контекстуальні знання про вихідну та цільову мови відповідно і зв’язки між ними для виконання завдань перекладу. Доведено, що в машинному перекладі на основі правил лінгвіст формалізує лінгвістичні знання в лексиконах і правилах граматики. Ці знання використовуються системою для аналізу речень мовою оригіналу та їх перекладу. Розглянуто окремі системи МП на основі правил, такі як Systran, Lucy LT, Apertium, ParSit, і деякі системи, які концентруються виключно на перекладі окремих діалектів. Аналіз цих систем виявив, що, якщо вихідна мова багата морфологічно, для аналізу вихідного тексту використовуються специфічні мовні морфологічні правила. Потім застосовуються специфічні для мови синтаксичні правила для визначення синтаксичних категорій слів, що містяться в реченні. Зроблено висновок, що машинний переклад на основі правил – це парадигма машинного перекладу, у якій лінгвістичні знання кодуються експертом у формі правил, що перекладаються з вихідної мови цільовою.
ПРЕЦЕДЕНТНІ ОДИНИЦІ ТРАНСФОРМОВАНОЇ СТРУКТУРИ У ФУТБОЛЬНИХ МЕДІАТЕКСТАХ

Стаття присвячена вивченню особливостей функціонування прецедентних одиниць трансформованої структури в сучасних спортивних медіатекстах футбольної тематики. Для дослідження вибрано новинний футбольний сайт «Футбол 24» (https://football24.ua), рубрика «Блоги». Спортивні медітексти є переважно матеріалами інформаційного плану для оперативного передавання відомостей про спортивні події, однак часто ці медіатексти містять авторську оцінку й характеризуються високою експресивністю, створюваною відповідними мовними засобами. Аналіз фактичного матеріалу виявив, що в сучасних спортивних медіатекстах журналісти активно використовують прецедентні одиниці, зокрема й трансформованої структури, чим посилюють експресивне навантаження висловлення. Виявлено три типи структурно-семантичних трансформацій прецедентних одиниць: заміна компонентів (субституція), розширення структури висловлення (експлікація), усічення його частини (імплікація). Трапляються також поєднання кількох типів трансформації в межах одного висловлення. Зміни прецедентних одиниць налаштовують читача на необхідність декодувати авторський задум, зашифрований у тексті. Вербальний код текстів аналізованого футбольного блогу розраховано на адресата, який має спільну з автором когнітивну базу. Будь-які трансформації прецедентної одиниці дають автору можливість лаконічно й водночас експресивно описати ситуацію у футбольному середовищі. В аналізованих текстах трапляються такі трансформації прецедентних одиниць, які передбачають обізнаність реципієнта в подіях, що відбуваються в сучасному футболі. Так, до складу прецедентних одиниць журналісти можуть уводити назви футбольних клубів, прізвища гравців і тренерів тощо. Такі зміни дають змогу авторам точніше передати інформацію, конкретизувати деталі. У результаті дослідження виявлено, що в спортивних медіатекстах трансформовані прецедентні одиниці виконують інформаційну, оцінну, парольно-ідентифікаційну, експресивно-підсилювальну, а також ігрову й уточнювальну функції.
