Year of sustainability, openness, and new roles: A Ukrainian university library in wartime
Authors: Kolesnykova Tetiana
Published: April 2023

One year of russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine to seize its territory and destroy the Ukrainian people as a nation, its language, culture, scientific achievements, and educational traditions have demonstrated the incredible adaptability of universities and their libraries. This paper aims to analyze the administrative aspect of the urgent adaptation of library teams of Ukrainian higher education institutions to martial law conditions in the example of the Scientific Library of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies (USUST). The paper considers the experience of survival, resilience, and adaptation of the USUST library to the war, which can be extrapolated to other libraries of Ukrainian higher education institutions. In addition, the study comparatively analyzes quantitative indicators of five university libraries as of January 1, 2022, and January 1, 2023. The main vectors of library activity are distance, openness, unification, and improvement of the single information space. The primary motivating factors for librarians’ resilience and adaptation to wartime working conditions are belief in the Armed Forces and the victory of Ukraine. The study emphasizes the importance of university libraries’ support of open educational resources as one of the methods of overcoming the Ukrainian linguocide. Library directors in wartime, with predominantly female staff, note the impact of psychological factors on their professional activities. Despite the threatening trends, libraries continue to support educational and scientific processes in their universities, launching new directions of activity.

Published: April 2023

Stripping analysis was proposed for the voltammetric determination of trace cadmium and lead in local rice wine alcoholic beverages. A bismuth-antimony film electrode (Bi-SbFE) was employed for accumulative preconcentration of trace metals by adding 4 mg L-1 of bismuth and 1 mg L-1 of antimony directly to the sample solution and simultaneously depositing bismuth, antimony, and trace cadmium and lead target metals on the glassy carbon electrode by applying a fixed potential of –1.1 V versus the Ag/AgCl reference electrode for 300 s. Pre-treatment parameters for mineralization of the sample were optimized using the wet acid digestion procedure. Under the optimum conditions, linear calibration graphs ranging 20-200 µg L-1 for Cd and Pb were obtained with detection limits of 0.22 and 0.62 µg L-1 and limits of quantitation 0.73 and 2.07 µg L-1, respectively. Reproducibility values for seven replicate analyses of 50 µg L-1 Cd and Pb were 3.6 and 3.3%, respectively. The developed method was successful for Cd and Pb analyses in Thai rice wine samples and results were validated by the flame atomic absorption spectrometric method. Most samples were not contaminated with Cd and Pb. The amount of Cd contaminants in only one of rice wine sample was still lower than the maximum permitted level of Cd in wine.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to identify how the process of critical thinking of prospective teachers in solving mathematical problems in the Department of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Science and Technology, Walisongo State Islamic University, is viewed from a qualitative learning style. The purposive sampling method was used to determine six prospective teachers as research subjects. Each visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning style is represented by 2 subjects. The auxiliary instruments in this study consisted of a learning style questionnaire, a critical thinking ability test, and an interview guide. Critical thinking indicators were developed through consideration of the main elements of FRISCO, the level of cognitive thinking according to Bloom and the Steps of Problem Solving According to John Dewey. Data processing through the stages of data collection, data reduction, and data verification with the triangulation method. The results of the study show that auditory and kinesthetic learning styles have lower critical thinking process characteristics than visual learning styles in solving math problems. From the interview process it was revealed that the ability to argue based on valid and logical facts, all types of learning styles is still quite low.

Published: April 2023

El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la asociación de las larvas de odonatos con las raíces de Eichhornia crassipes en la ciénaga La Larga. Para el muestreo de las larvas de odonatos se utilizaron técnicas estandarizadas para macroinvertebrados acuáticos. Se realizaron seis muestreos, y en cada uno se colectaron 100 individuos de E. crassipes, de los cuales se midieron la longitud y el volumen de las raíces. Se colectaron un total de 738 individuos y 10 especies de odonatos. Entre ellos, Miathyria marcella presentó la mayor abundancia, con el 83 % del total muestreado. El porcentaje de ocupación de las raíces de E. crassipes por las larvas de Odonata fue del 58 % (346 de las 600 raíces recolectadas). Las raíces recolectadas presentaron medidas entre 5-58 cm de largo y volúmenes entre 5-450 mL. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la composición y la estructura de las larvas respecto al volumen de las raíces. Las longitudes de las larvas variaron entre 2,4-24,3 mm, y la mayoría de los individuos colectados se encontró en el rango de longitud entre 5,1-10 mm. En conclusión, el tamaño de la raíz no es un determinante para la distribución de los odonatos en las raíces de E. crassipes, mientras que el volumen de las raíces de E. crassipes sí influyó en la composición de larvas.

Authors: Sano Naoyuki , Yoshino Hironori , Sato Yoshiaki , Honma Hideo , Cordonier Christopher E.J. , Kashiwakura Ikuo
Published: April 2023

Background:

We recently synthesized a compound in which 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole (MM4)
was coordinated to tiopronin monovalent (TPN-Au(I)) and reported its cytotoxic activity against human leukemia
cells in vitro.

Objective:

We further synthesized other heterocyclic compounds coordinated with TPN-Au(I) and assessed
their cytotoxic activity against hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and lung cancer cell line H1299 in vitro.

Methods:

Seven kinds of compounds were synthesized by introducing a five-membered heterocyclic compound
into TPN-Au(I). The number of viable cells was counted by a trypan blue dye exclusion assay. Fluorescence
conjugated-Annexin V and propidium iodide were used for the apoptosis analysis.

Results:

Seven compounds were successfully synthesized. Among these compounds, TPN-Au(I)-MTZ (3-
mercapto-1,2,4-triazole), TPN-Au(I)-MMT (2-mercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole), and TPN-Au(I)-MMTT
(2-mercapto-5-methylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole) effectively suppressed the proliferation and induced apoptosis in
HepG2 cells. In addition, TPN-Au(I)-MMTT and TPN-Au(I)-MMT also showed effective cytotoxicity against
H1299 cells.

Conclusion:

The present results showed that introduction of some five-membered heterocyclic compounds,
especially MMT and MMTT, to TPN-Au(I) improved the cytotoxicity against solid cancer cells.

Authors: Alotaibi Saud
Published: April 2023

Orthodontics is a specialty derived from dental sciences that starts by diagnosing, preventing, intercepting, modifying growth, and treating all dentofacial discrepancies. Medical interventions can cause harm besides their benefits. This review is done to evaluate the most common potential risks that can be caused by orthodontic treatment and detect the most common factor in the treatment that may lead to this hazard. The review was conducted based on PRISMA-S guidelines for literature search strategy for systematic reviews. Despite all the beneficial effects of orthodontic treatment, it also has negative effects on oral and peri-oral structures and social well-being. It is also important to obtain informed consent from patients before the initiation of any orthodontic procedure, especially in cases with a history of trauma or known adverse reactions.

Published: April 2023

Background:

The objective of this study was to investigate the attitude of Saudi dentists towards CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) in restorative dentistry, investigate the existing knowledge and improve the practice accordingly.

Methods:

At random, electronic surveys were distributed to Saudi dental practitioners. The study received 500 questionnaires, with 425 being deemed valid. The following sections were included in the questionnaire: (i) Practitioner demographic information such as gender, practice level, and practice experience; (ii) CAD/CAM knowledge and benefits; (iii) CAD/CAM skills and training required; and (iv) CAD/CAM clinical overview. Descriptive statistics such as numbers and percentages were used to analyze the collected data. The Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests were used to assess the results.

Results:

Males accounted for 292 (68.7%) of the participants, while females accounted for 133 (31.3%). General Practitioners accounted for the most subjects (253, or 59.5%), followed by consultants (91, or 21.4%) and specialists (81, or 19.1%). Among 425 dentists, 170 (40%) were aware of CAD/CAM, while 255 (60%) were not. Consultants and specialists demonstrated more significant levels of knowledge than general practitioners.

Furthermore, dentists with experience of more than ten years and experience of 5-10 years showed more understanding of CAD/CAM than dentists with less than five years of experience. Most participants (71.5%) do not use CAD/CAM in dental practice, whereas only less than one-third of them use it. Most participants (63.5%) plan to purchase CAD/CAM. Most dentists (74.4%) believe CAD/CAM technology is helpful in clinical procedures, while others believe it is useful in diagnostic and different functions. Most participants assume that CAD/CAM will eventually replace traditional methods. Most dentists assume that the use of CAD/CAM requires skills and training.

Conclusion:

The findings of this study show a prominent level of satisfaction and a favorable attitude among the surveyed dentists towards the usage of CAD/CAM technology in clinical practice.

Authors: Barghash Mahmoud A. , Shurbaji Tala Raed , Romman Rama
Published: April 2023

Background:

Hydroponic system has spread across Europe, but its use in developing countries is limited. Hydroponics may represent the industrial version of farming. It is established within buildings; it depends on automation, can go vertically, and has better use of land resources. However, the feasibility of hydroponic farms is hindered by the start-up cost and may be improved through the proper scheduling of the harvest to be in the optimal duration to take advantage of price seasonality and traditional farming production fluctuations.

Methods:

To improve the feasibility of hydroponic farms, this work develops a new operation research model that includes sales price variations, volume and productivity of plants, space limitations, electrical installation, solar panels, etc. This model aims to address the most important questions that farmers face, that is, what, when and how much to plant. Certain assumptions are made, such as reusable packaging, solar panels, and limiting the plantation to selected popular crops in Jordan that can be easily marketed. The model is applied to a farm of size equal to 500 m2 in area and 4000 m3 in volume.

Results:

The main result of this work is the valuable figure that shows the plantation schedule. It shows the timely plantation (how much and when) for each type of the selected plants. Further analysis is performed regarding the profit and total plant volume as compared to the total volume of the farm. It also evaluates actual production versus target production.

Conclusion:

This work evaluates the expected profit of the selected hydroponic farm to be 17,778 JD compared to an average of 1000 JD from traditional farming of land with the same square meters.
The Utilization of Antenatal Care Services among the Pregnant Women in Somalia: A Scoping Review
Authors: Ali Kaltun Said , ABM Alauddin Chowdhury , Aimakhu Christopher O.
Published: April 2023

Background:

Women in Somalia suffer from one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. The good utilization of antenatal care (ANC) services significantly minimizes maternal and child mortality. The study aimed to identify the utilization of antenatal care services among pregnant women in Somalia.

Methodology:

We performed a scoping review based on the York methodology. This methodology entails a thorough search of published academic articles, conference proceedings, and grey literature via PubMed, Scopus, Google, and Google Scholar, focusing on English-language material.

Results:

Findings revealed that a significant number of Somali pregnant women utilize the ANC services, though not to the required number of visits as recommended by the WHO. Financial constraints, poor attitude of the healthcare providers, partner's attitude toward ANC services, lack of accessibility due to ANC services being far away, long waiting times, family matters, lack of awareness or media exposure, gravida, parity, and a good number of them believing that ANC is not necessary for their health were among the reasons given for an inadequate visit or non-utilization of the ANC services.

Conclusion:

The motivation to utilize ANC services, the initiation of visits within the early stages of pregnancy, and the completion of the required number of visits during pregnancy are crucial in preventing pregnancy-related issues and reducing maternal mortality. This must be encouraged among Somali women.

A study on ‘meokda’ type of compound verb education for foreign learners
Authors:   Korean Language & Literature, Lee Young-ju
Published: April 2023

Vocabulary education in foreign language learning is mainly done through textbooks or dictionaries, so it remains as the acquisition of fragmentary knowledge and most of it proceeds with memorization of individual words. However if lexical knowledge is approached at the sentence level and educated, practical language use can be experienced and can be usefully used in real life. In particular, in the case of compound verbs formed by combining two elements, the form, meaning, and syntactic change are changed, so care must be taken in their use. ‘Meokda’ is a single word, but sometimes combined with other words to create a diverse vocabulary. In addition, it is a frequently used vocabulary related to food in everyday life, and it has been differentiated into various meanings by combining with other words, and the range of its use has widened. So, for practical use, it is necessary to look at the form, meaning, and syntactic. Therefore, in this study, considering these points, we tried to present an educational method centering on the food compound verb. When 'meokda' is combined with 'noun', most of the preceding nouns were [-eating], and even after being synthesized, most of them had other meanings unrelated to 'eating'. However, when the preceding element is a verb, it was found to be a compound verb that has a syntactic structure similar to 'meokda' and not a compound verb. In addition, it was confirmed that various types of compound verbs such as compound verbs with various arguments under the influence of preceding verbs and compound verbs in which the semantic role of the target argument plays an important role were found. Considering this point, an educational method was proposed to examine the meaning and syntactic structure together so that compound verbs could be formed into sentences rather than understood as individual words and connected to actual use.

Introduction/Main Objectives: The article aimed to explore the nature, level and extent of women participation in administrative and political leadership in the Mtubatuba Local Municipality (MLM). It adopted the socialist feminism theory as its framework. Research Methods: Qualitative research methods was used in which data were collected using semi-structured interviews from eight women working in the Mtubatuba Local Municipality's political and administrative structures selected using purposive sampling methods. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze data received from participants. Novelty: The researchers found that women's leadership in both the administrative and political realms of the MLM was a struggle that demanded endurance against various harsh forces mainly stemming from culture and patriarchy. Finding/Results: The article concluded that the excessive prevalence of gender inequality and male dominance in leadership was worsened by the fact that the few women in management and leadership were not seriously considered in decision-making. This was regardless of the existence of many national and local level policies and strategies aimed at elevating women into leadership with the agenda of attaining gender equality.

Introduction/Main Objectives: The study proposed is written based on the results of quantitative research and the analysis of the theory and practice of leadership. The study's main objective is to determine the essential traits of a leader for effective interaction with team members. Background Problems: Most research on this topic chose a leader's traits based on analyzing literary sources rather than on empirical research. Novelty: The traits for the most effective collaboration between leader and team members were chosen by potential and actual members of the leader's team, namely students and teachers of the University. Research Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey of 103 teachers and 421 Bogomolets National Medical University (Kyiv) students. The statistical analysis was carried out using Wald Test. Finding/Results: The research confirmed that both respondent categories admitted the importance of all leadership traits. At the same time, such traits as passion, effectiveness, self-confidence, determination, and ability to take risks appeared to be more significant for the students than for the teachers. The teachers ranked such a trait as decency higher than the students did. Also, such issues as the importance of organizational culture, ethical aspects of leadership, and the most effective leadership style for productive interaction with team members were examined. Conclusion:  This study proposed complex recommendations for creating the most productive model of the interaction between the leader and team members based on the data obtained.

In the past, the means of information transmission have undergone drastic changes, the monopoly of the media itself has begun to fall apart, and the audience has become users, whose choice of new media directly affects the future development of the media. Therefore, for new media, the construction of user thinking can not be ignored.
‘Kahani’ (The Story) within us and beyond: Decoding Amitabh Bhattacharya’s lyrics from an existential perspective
Authors: Jha Sayani
Published: April 2023

It may also be taken as an analogy regarding the significance of retaining moderation and equilibrium in one's life. Amitabh firmly believes in the existentialist perspective that acknowledges life's transience and fleetingness. The conventional ways of thinking and doing are unable to grasp the complexity of human existence. Both of these ideas are congruent with a sense of uncertainty about the nature of human life and the connection between people and the wider environment in which they live. After World War II, the fragmented world was forced to re-evaluate human existence and look for meaning and purpose in life. Amitabh Bhattacharya's ‘Kahani’ (the story), a contemporary song, prompts its listeners to discover the authenticity of life.
A Study on Prevalence of Obesity and Overweight among Adolescent Girls
Authors: Singh Shweta
Published: April 2023

The unabated rise in the prevalence of overweight in adolescents is one of the most alarming public health issues facing the world. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was determined among 732 affluent adolescent girls of Bengaluru. The results indicated that 21.17% of the girls were overweight and 13.38% were obese. Information regarding knowledge, attitude and dietary & lifestyle practices of 98 obese and 155 overweight adolescent girls was collected using a structured questionnaire. It was seen that although 49% of the adolescent girls had fair knowledge, and all the subjects had positive attitudes towards nutrition and healthy lifestyle, a negative correlation was seen between Knowledge and Practice; and Attitude and Practice. Faulty dietary practices such as irregular meal pattern, frequent consumption of energy dense, high calorie food and drinks and physical inactivity were seen to be the main causes of obesity and overweight in the girls. It was also seen that the intake of protein and fat was significantly higher (p<0.05) than the RDA for obese and overweight adolescents.

Сульфиды галлия обладают широкой запрещенной зоной в диапазоне 2,85–3,05 эВ
и перспективны для использования в фотовольтаике и оптоэлектронике, нелинейной оптики, оптоэлектроники, терагерцевых устройствах, а также в качестве пассивирующих слоев в полупроводниковых приборах III–V групп. В данной работе тонкие пленки сульфида галлия GaxS1−x впервые были получены методом плазмохимического осаждения из газовой фазы (PECVD) с помощью транспортной реакции с участием хлора, при этом непосредственно высокочистые элементы (Ga и S) были использованы в качестве исходных веществ. Неравновесная низкотемпературная плазма ВЧ-разряда (40,68 МГц) при пониженном давлении (0,01 Торр) являлась инициатором химических превращений. Были изучены зависимости состава, морфологии поверхности, структурных и оптических свойств
полученных пленок от мощности плазменного разряда.
