Promoting the formation of environmental awareness in children: the representation of nature in Chinese language textbooks
Authors: Ma Jingxue
Published: September 2023

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the integration of environmental education into language education. Drawing inspiration from Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), our focus lies on examining the kinds of participants in material processes in texts carefully chosen from a collection of widely utilized primary school Chinese language textbooks. We pay particular attention to the power and activity hierarchy of participants, to understand how these texts represent nature and the interconnections between fundamental elements in nature. Our findings reveal that these textbooks, through age-appropriate content, are deliberately crafted to instill environmental knowledge in young learners, nurture their ecological awareness and inspire actions aimed at safeguarding the delicate ecosystems that sustain all life forms.

Published: September 2023

The corrosion and bacterial behavior of AZ91 magnesium alloy coated with sol–gel-deposited amorphous tantalum oxide and hydroxyapatite have been investigated. The objective was to assess the potential suitability of AZ91 for permanent prosthesis applications. The coatings were applied in layered and hybrid configurations and characterized using various techniques including X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometry, and drop analyses. The antibacterial properties were evaluated through interactions with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli strains. Mechanical properties and adhesion were determined via linear scratch tests, and electrochemical corrosion tests were conducted in different media. The release of aluminum ions from the samples in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium was monitored over 28 days. The findings revealed that the amorphous tantalum oxide coating, particularly in combination with hydroxyapatite, improved antibacterial properties and positively influenced corrosion and scratch resistance. The layered and hybrid coatings demonstrated the highest corrosion resistance. The release of aluminum ions remained within acceptable levels in the tested medium. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the potential of sol–gel coatings on AZ91 for prosthetic applications, considering antibacterial behavior, corrosion resistance, and aluminum release.

Long term physicochemical stability study of novel ophthalmic formulations combining ceftazidime and vancomycin with and without cyclodextrins
Authors: Plaidy Pauline , Bouattour Yassine , Yessaad Mouloud , Sautou Valérie , Chennell Philip
Published: September 2023

Objectives

Ceftazidime (CZ) and Vancomycin (VM) are used to treat bacterial keratitis; however, their physicochemical incompatibility does not allow their co-administration. This incompatibility can be managed by buffering the mixture at an alkaline pH or by using cage molecules such as cyclodextrins (CD). The objective of this work was to compare the stability during 168 days of frozen storage of two formulations combining VA and CZ at a final concentration of 25 mg/mL: a CD-free formulation, at a pH=8.5 and a formulation with CD.

Methods

Beforehand, a stability indicating method (SIM) was developed. Samples were analysed after 1, 3 and 6 months, and after 12, 24 and 72 h after defrosting. Analyses performed were the following: visual inspection, chromaticity, turbidity, osmolality and pH measurements, particles counting, CZ and VM quantification, breakdown product research, and sterility assay.

Results

The developed SIM allowed the simultaneous quantification and breakdown products research of both VM and CZ, without interference of the breakdown products. The analyses showed the presence of a visually detectable precipitate and increased turbidity as early as the first day after thawing for CD-free formulation and on the third day for the formulation with CD. CZ concentrations systematically decreased after thawing for both formulations whilst VM concentrations remained stable. Osmolality and pH remained unchanged, and no microbial growth was detected throughout the study.

Conclusions

CD delayed precipitation by 48 h compared to the CD-free formulation but did not permanently eliminate it. Both formulations showed very limited physicochemical stability after thawing.
Brain functional connectivity and network characteristics changes after vagus nerve stimulation in patients with refractory epilepsy
Authors: Ding Yongqiang , Guo Kunlin , Wang Xinjun , Chen Mingming , Li Xinxiao , Wu Yuehui
Published: September 2023

Objective

This study aims to investigate the impact of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on the connectivity and small-world metrics of brain functional networks during seizure periods.

Methods

Ten refractory epilepsy patients underwent video encephalographic monitoring before and after VNS treatment. The 2-min electroencephalogram segment containing the ictal was selected for each participant, resulting in a total of 20 min of seizure data. The weighted phase lag index (wPLI) and small-world metrics were calculated for the whole frequency band and different frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma). Finally, the relevant metrics were statistically analyzed, and the false discovery rate was used to correct for differences after multiple comparisons.

Results

In the whole band, the wPLI was notably enhanced, and the network metrics, including degree (D), clustering coefficient (CC), and global efficiency (GE), increased, while characteristic path length (CPL) decreased (P < 0.01). In different frequency bands, the wPLI between the parieto-occipital and frontal regions was significantly strengthened in the delta and beta bands, while the wPLI within the frontal region and between the frontal and parieto-occipital regions were significantly reduced in the beta and gamma bands (P < 0.01). In the low-frequency band (<13 Hz), the small-world metrics demonstrated significantly increased CC, D, and GE, with a significantly decreased CPL, indicating a more efficient network organization. In contrast, in the gamma band, the GE decreased, and the CPL increased, suggesting a shift toward less efficient network organization.

Conclusion

VNS treatment can significantly change the wPLI and small-world metrics. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the impact of VNS therapy on brain networks and provide objective indicators for evaluating the efficacy of VNS.
Evaluation of Millability and Recyclability of Asphalt with Paving Interlayers
Authors: Saxena Ashray , Kumar V. Vinay , Correia Natalia S. , Zornberg Jorge G.
Published: September 2023

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has been widely incorporated into roadway base and surface courses, as they provide economic and environmental benefits that lead to sustainable construction practices. However, because of the increasing use of paving interlayers (e.g., geotextiles, geogrids, and geocomposites) during roadway rehabilitation, the likelihood of milling projects involving asphalt layers with paving interlayers (referred to as GRAP) has significantly increased. Consequently, the assessment of potential GRAP reuse in geotechnical and pavement applications becomes essential. This research study aims at evaluating the millability and recyclability of asphalt layers with paving interlayers. Specifically, sections with and without paving interlayers were first milled to evaluate the millability of asphalt layers with paving interlayers. Subsequently, the recyclability of GRAP for the base and surface course of pavements was assessed by quantifying the geotechnical characteristics of millings collected from asphalt layers with paving interlayers, referred herein as geosynthetic RAP or GRAP, and those without paving interlayers (RAP). The evaluation of RAP and GRAP materials for road base suitability included blending them with virgin aggregates and investigating these blends via determination of particle size distribution, binder content, compaction characteristics, abrasion resistance, hydraulic conductivity, and resilient modulus. The evaluation of RAP and GRAP materials for surface course suitability involved preparing asphalt mixtures that incorporated RAP and GRAP and quantifying their particle size distribution, indirect tensile strength, and moisture susceptibility. Comparison of the results obtained from five different base course blends and five different asphalt mixtures demonstrated that the base course blends and asphalt mixtures with GRAP exhibited properties similar to those with RAP. Also, the results of this investigation indicate that asphalt mixtures (surface course) and granular base courses can incorporate up to 30 % and 50 % GRAP, respectively, thus leading to sustainable roadway construction practices.
Mechanical Properties and Durability of High Toughness Concrete (HTC) Modified by EVA and SB Latex Powder
Authors: Feng Zhen-gang , Gong Xiaoran , Li Xiangnan , Cui Qi , Yao Dongdong
Published: September 2023

To study the effect of different polymer latex powders on mechanical properties and durability of high toughness concrete (HTC), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and styrene butadiene (SB) were used to prepare modified HTCs. The flexural strength, compressive strength, and toughness of the HTC specimens were investigated by the flexural strength test, compressive strength test, and toughness test, respectively. Moreover, the freeze-thaw test, salt ion freeze-thaw test, dry shrinkage test, rapid chloride migration test, and carbonation test were carried out to evaluate the influence of EVA and SB on durability of HTC. Results show that EVA and SB with proper content can obviously improve the flexural performance and toughness of HTC. The durability of HTC, including the frost resistance, salt ion frost resistance, dry shrinkage resistance, chloride ion penetration resistance, and carbonization resistance, can be totally enhanced with the addition of the two polymer latex powders because the EVA and SB can interweave with hydration products of the HTC to form a network structure, leading to a denser structure with less harmful and very harmful holes in HTC and thus preventing penetration and erosion inside the HTC.
ERDOGAN STAYS: PROSPECTS FOR TURKEY’S RELATIONS WITH THE US, EU AND RUSSIA. PART 2
Authors:   Institute of Europe, RAS, Shumilin Aleksander
Published: September 2023

The first part of the article examines the fundamental aspects of the transformation of foreign policy concepts and strategies of the Republic of Turkey at the end of the second and beginning of the third presidential terms of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The author’s assumption that the newly elected president in foreign policy is likely to follow the path of overcoming tensions with his Western allies and partners is justified by the analysis of the events taking place in Ankara’s relations with Washington given in the article. In the second part, the author of the article focuses on the emerging prospects for Turkey’s relations with the EU countries. The emphasis is on the analysis of the events of «crisis periods» in bilateral relations between Ankara and Brussels (in 2016 and 2020) and attempts to overcome their consequences. An important milestone in the trajectory of their reconciliation was Russia’s Special Military Operation on the territory of Ukraine. In its context, Erdogan continues to assert his role as an intermediary not only between Moscow and Kiev, but also as a channel of communication between Russia and the NATO countries as a whole.
FINNISH ECONOMY AMID THE CRISIS PHENOMENA 2021–2023
Authors:   Institute of Europe, RAS, Plyusnin Roman
Published: September 2023

This article is devoted to the analysis of the development of the economic situation in Finland in the context of the crisis phenomena of recent years. Their main source was the increase in world energy prices. Then the crisis worsened due to the consequences of Russia launching a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine. For Finland, this led to the emergence of additional crisis phenomena. In particular, for political reasons, economic cooperation with our country has been reduced to almost zero. Particularly sensitive was the rejection of Russian oil and gas in favor of Norwegian and American, the price of which was much higher. This factor, combined with the build-up of public debt during the tenure of Prime Minister Sanna Marin, has led to a chain reaction in the Finnish economy, which risks turning into a full-fledged crisis for it. The new Premier Minister Petteri Orpo does not have much time and resources left to prevent this scenario.

From Deviant Likes to Reversed Effects: Re-Investigating the Contribution of Unaware Evaluative Conditioning to Attitude Formation
Authors: Ingendahl Moritz , Woitzel Johanna , Propheter Nadja , Wänke Michaela , Alves Hans
Published: September 2023

Evaluative Conditioning (EC) is the change in liking of an object due to its mere pairing with a positive/negative stimulus. A central question in EC research is whether EC effects also emerge without awareness of the stimulus pairings. This is often tested by asking participants after the conditioning whether an object had been paired with positive or negative stimuli. If participants’ answers in these memory measures mismatch with the US valence (e.g., “positive” response when an object was paired with a negative stimulus), the pairings are classified as unaware. The last decade of EC research has found mostly no evidence for unaware EC, and sometimes even reversed unaware EC effects when using such memory measures. The present work demonstrates that such valence memory measures underestimate unaware EC effects due to differences between the normed and the subjective US valence. In two simulation studies, a re-analysis of previous studies, and four preregistered experiments (N = 502), we assess when this bias is more or less severe, depending on common procedural variations in EC experiments. We also propose an improved memory measure of aware/unaware EC. Yet, even when the bias was reduced in the corrected measure, no evidence for unaware EC could be found. Overall, our research shows that unaware EC may be difficult to detect with valence memory measures. Also, they support current memory-based and propositional EC accounts.

Authors:   Institute of Innovative Education of Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Denysiuk Olha
Published: September 2023

The article examines the peculiarities of the transformation of the foreign economic positions of the countries of South America on the example of Argentina and Brazil. The analysis showed that during the entire considered period of 2016-2021, Argentina's net international investment position is positive, while Brazil's is negative. In order to investigate whether Brazil has a double deficit problem, a vector autoregression was constructed. The simulation results showed that the hypothesis of a relationship between the budget deficit and Brazil's current account from 1996 to 2021 is not confirmed. Therefore, there is no double deficit problem in Brazil, budget and current account deficits are not causes of each other's deficit.

Theoretical and methodological foundations for safe social behavior
Authors:   Altay State University, Kosach Elena V.
Published: September 2023

In modern conditions much attention is paid to the issues of comprehensive security of children, which is reflected in the normative acts of the sphere of education. The important role in this process belongs to education. The progressing aggression, criminalization of adolescent environment, models of behavior deviating from social norms actualize the need to comprehend the concept of “safe social behavior”. The aim of the article is to carry out theoretical and methodological substantiation of the essence of the concept “safe social behavior”. Methodology and research methods. The general methodology of the study is represented by personal and activity approach, which allows to consider activity as a condition of accumulation of knowledge, gaining experience of safe social behavior; axiological approach – methodological orientation to define safe social behavior as an actual value for a modern person. The theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign psychological and pedagogical literature, Internet resources on the considered problem, systematization and theoretical generalization of the obtained data were used within the framework of this research. Results of the research. As a result of the theoretical analysis the essential characteristics of the concept of “safe social behavior” were identified. The substantiation of the relationship of safety, social behavior was carried out, the concept of “safe type of behavior personality” was clarified. The distinctive features of safe social behavior were determined. Conclusion. Safe social behavior is a complex socio-pedagogical phenomenon, affecting the problem field of education, socialization, personal changes. The model of behavior is based on the recognition of the value of social security, gaining knowledge, expanding social experience. Personal characteristics of an individual with safe behavior include social tolerance, desire for cooperation, the ability to find conflict-free ways of solving problems. Socio-pedagogical results of safe social behavior can be positive socialization, the inclusion of social security in their own hierarchy of values, the formation of subjectivity.

Published: September 2023

A deficiency in hydrogen sulfide has been implicated in the development and progression of diabetic chronic kidney disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of diabetes on the H2S system in early-stage diabetic kidney disease. We characterised gene and protein expression profile of the enzymes that regulate H2S production and degradation, and H2S production capacity, in the kidney from 10-week-old C57BL6Jdb/db mice (n = 6), in age-matched heterozygous controls (n = 7), and in primary endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to high glucose. In db/db mice, renal H2S levels were significantly reduced (P = 0.009). Protein expression of the H2S production enzymes was differentially affected by diabetes: cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) was significantly lower in both db/db mice and high glucose-treated HUVECs (P < 0.0001; P = 0.0318) whereas 3-mercatopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) expression was higher in the db/db kidney (P < 0.0001), yet lower in the HUVECs (P = 0.0001). Diabetes had no effect on the expression of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) in the db/db kidney (P = ns) but was associated with reduced expression in the HUVECs (P = 0.0004). Protein expression of degradation enzyme sulfide quinone reductase (SQOR) was significantly higher in db/db kidney (P = 0.048) and lower in the high glucose-treated HUVECs (P = 0.008). Immunofluorescence studies revealed differential localisation of the H2S enzymes in the kidney, including both tubular and vascular localisation, suggestive of functionally distinct actions in the kidney. The results of this study provide foundational knowledge for future research looking at the H2S system in both kidney physiology and the aetiology of chronic diabetic kidney disease.
El papel de las ciencias sociales en básica secundaria: ¿un desafío para formar la ciudadanía en Colombia?
Authors: Madrid Hincapié Joan Manuel
Published: September 2023

Este artículo es derivado del proyecto de investigación “Impacto formativo del área de ciencias sociales en el desarrollo de capacidades que fomenten la convivencia ciudadana en contextos educativos rurales”. Por tanto,  busca coadyuvar a la reflexión en torno a la enseñanza de dicha realidad en el nivel de básica secundaria y media técnica, ya que la aprobación de la misma según el Ministerio de Educación Nacional [MEN], representa que el estudiante alcanzó unos indicadores de logro y unos estándares de competencias que demuestran su capacidad para la mediación de conflictos, valorar el disenso, fortalecer la identidad nacional, lo cual resulta contradictorio con ciertas particularidades idiosincráticas que han conllevado a la naturalización de la violencia, la corrupción, el engaño, entre otros. Situación que en efecto no se resignifica exclusivamente con una normatividad, paradigma, enfoque, modelo educativo, sino a través del proceso en el que se hallen las causas que impiden transformar conceptual y prácticamente las formas de su enseñanza.
Desarrollando el Éxito Educativo para Todos: Reflexiones, Propuestas y Retos Conceptuales en torno a la Equidad Educativa
Authors: Sánchez-Santamaría José , Ballester Vila María Gracia
Published: September 2023

La equidad es un componente esencial para el desarrollo de una educación de calidad orientada al éxito de todos. En la definición establecida por la OCDE (2007), la equidad educativa se compone de dos dimensiones: inclusión educativa y justicia. Son muchos los dilemas, controversias e implicaciones generadas por esta caracterización. Por ese motivo, y debido al uso confuso que en muchas ocasiones se realiza en torno a la equidad, en este trabajo se intenta contribuir a clarificar el concepto de equidad educativa. Para ello se emplea un método descriptivo con enfoque hermenéutico a partir de una muestra teórica de fuentes información relevante. El resultado es una caracterización unitaria de la equidad como inclusión, justicia y diversidad cohesiva como base del éxito educativo para todos.

Published: September 2023

La presencia femenina en cargos de gestión académica en las universidades españolas está aún lejos de ser igualitaria, en especial en las posiciones más altas de la jerarquía. Este artículo presenta y discute resultados obtenidos de dos investigaciones sucesivas sobre los estilos de liderazgo, las necesidades formativas y las bases de poder puestas en juego por mujeres (en el primer estudio) y hombres (en el segundo) a cargo de organizaciones de educación superior. Se centra en la primera fase –de carácter descriptivo– de ambos estudios, basada en un cuestionario diseñado ad hoc respondido por 136 mujeres y 129 hombres. Los datos fueron procesados usando el paquete estadístico SPSS 11.0. Los resultados muestran sólo sutiles diferencias entre los estilos de liderazgo y las necesidades formativas de ambos grupos. En consecuencia, se sugiere que la investigación se centre en el modo en que tanto hombres como mujeres afrontan distintos problemas más que en buscar diferencias en sus estilos de liderazgo.

Formación para la Ciudadanía Intercultural. ¿Qué sucede en los Conservatorios Superiores?
Authors: Bernabé Villodre María del Mar
Published: September 2023

Los especialistas en Música formados en los Conservatorios Superiores comparten una carencia didáctica tanto general como específica. Más allá del hecho de que se precisaría una formación didáctica específica para atender a un especialista que tendrá entre sus posibilidades laborales la docencia, tampoco se les forma para atender la realidad pluricultural del aula española. Este artículo ha partido de un análisis comparativo detallado de los diferentes currículos de los Conservatorios Superiores del territorio español, para mostrar cómo la formación didáctica se limita, en el mejor de los casos, a las especificidades de la docencia instrumental. La comparación curricular sirvió como base para elaborar una propuesta que, desde las diferentes materias propias del currículo musical Superior, se pudiese aplicar en las aulas sin necesidad de variaciones legislativas más complicadas de aprobar fuera del propio centro. La cuestión de la atención a la pluriculturalidad no es considerada significativa, puesto que no aparece incluida en el desarrollo de las programaciones consultadas. Ante esta situación, el citado análisis comparativo y reflexivo llevó a la elaboración de propuestas que podían incluirse en las distintas asignaturas, para garantizar de este modo la atención a la diversidad cultural en la futura aula laboral y, por tanto, el trabajo de la interculturalidad desde el Conservatorio Superior.

Influencia en el consumo voluntario de árboles y arbustos forrajeros en los indicadores sanguíneos de corderos
Authors: Gutiérrez-González Delfín , Ramírez-Baffi Andrés
Published: September 2023

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la inclusión de diferentes niveles de follajes arbóreos en el consumo voluntario de materia seca y perfil metabólico sanguíneo de corderos. Se desarrolló en la estación de pastos y forrajes "Villena Revolución" de La Habana, Cuba. Se utilizaron 24 corderos destetados de la raza pelibuey, con 84 ± 9,75 días de edad, peso vivo promedio de 15,80 ± 2,74 kg y distribuidos en seis grupos con un diseño completamente aleatorizado (DCA) durante 120 días. Los tratamientos consistieron en la inclusión en la ración totalmente mezclada (RTM) en dos niveles (20,40%) de follajes arbóreos (Tithonia diversifolia, Morus alba, Leucaena leucocephala) en sustitución (80,60%) de Cenchrus purpureus híbrido Cuba OM-22; la cual se ofertó en una sola ocasión (08:30 a.m.) a razón de 12% base húmeda (BH) del peso vivo. Las mezclas fueron isoenergéticas, pero no isoproteicas. Se determinaron indicadores bioquímicos sanguíneos (glucosa, colesterol, triglicéridos, urea, creatinina) y hematológicos (hemoglobina, hematocritos). El consumo de materia seca fue superior (1,31 vs. 1,37 kg/d, p<0.0001) cuando participó el 40% de follaje de morera y leucaena en la mezcla. Dentro del perfil sanguíneo, la glucosa, la creatinina, la hemoglobina y los hematocritos estuvieron por debajo de los límites fisiológicos para la especie, mientras que el colesterol, los triglicéridos y la urea dentro del rango normal. Se concluyó que la inclusión del 40% de morera y leucaena en la mezcla con Cenchrus purpureus híbrido Cuba OM-22 mejoró el consumo de materia seca y mantuvo influencia en el perfil metabólico sanguíneo.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de los días postparto al inicio de un tratamiento para inseminación artificial a tiempo fijo (IATF) en vacas Bos indicus o cruzas de cría de carne con ternero al pie en un sistema pastoril. Se utilizaron 188 vacas de entre 2,5 y 12 años, todas ellas entre 30 y 100 días postparto al momento de iniciar el tratamiento. Las vacas se ubicaron en Upala, Costa Rica, durante el último trimestre del año 2019. Los grupos de tratamiento se dividieron en 4 según los días postparto: Grupo 1 (entre 30 y 45 días; n= 39), Grupo 2 (entre 46 y 60 días; n= 40), Grupo 3 (entre 61 y 75; n= 66), Grupo 4 (de 76 a 100 días; n= 43). Para un análisis posterior, el Grupo 1 se subdividió en 3 subgrupos: Grupo 1A (entre 30 y 35 días postparto; n= 11), Grupo 1B (entre 36 y 40 días; n= 12), Grupo 1C (de 41 a 45 días; n= 16). El porcentaje de preñez en general fue del 56,9% (107/188). No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos: 48,71% (19/39), 70,00% (28/40), 53,03% (35/66) y 58,13% (25/43) para los grupos 1, 2, 3 y 4, respectivamente (p= 0.22). El porcentaje de preñez en los subgrupos 1A, 1B y 1C fue del 45,45%, 50,00% y 50,00%, respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas (p= 0.79) entre ellos. Tampoco se encontraron divergencias en los otros parámetros evaluados, como el estatus ovárico (p= 0.63), la interacción entre el estatus ovárico y los días posparto (p= 0.52), y el efecto del toro (p= 0.42). En conclusión, bajo las condiciones de este trabajo, no hay discrepancias en la tasa de preñez si se inicia un tratamiento de IATF entre 30 y 100 días postparto.
Корпусное исследование конкуренции конструкций с функцией «понижения агенса» в славянских языках
Authors: Плунгян В. А. , Подгорная А. Д.
Published: September 2023

В статье рассматриваются конструкции с функцией «понижения агенса» и их переводные эквива-ленты на материале параллельного корпуса романа М. А. Булгакова «Мастер и Маргарита» в пе-реводах на польский, чешский, болгарский, сербский и немецкий языки. Под данным ярлыком объединяются средства, лишающие агенс привилегированного коммуникативного статуса, что проявляется в его реализации в нехарактерной синтаксической позиции, полном опущении или сниженной референтности. Специализированные средства, выполняющие данную функцию, в сла-вянских языках включают пассивы (с выраженным агенсом Очки были растоптаны толпой или без него) и различные имперсональные конструкции, среди которых формы третьего лица множе-ственного числа, не допускающие выражения подлежащего (Очки растоптали), и форма на -no / -to в польском (Rozdeptanо okulary).

На основе 909 контекстов, извлеченных из корпуса, был проведен анализ их распределения и об-суждены в том числе периферийные средства «понижения агенса» (декаузативы, лексические сред-ства, позволяющие не выражать агенс, инфинитивы, номинализации) в связи с аспектуальными характеристиками клаузы, референциальным статусом агенса и дискурсивной важностью участ-ников. В результате были выявлены группы контекстов со сходным маркированием. В частности в цепочках, описывающих последовательность действий ситуационно заданных групп лиц (Туда съездили, в квартире побывали), в польском доминируют употребления форм на -no / -to, в то время как в других славянских языках сохраняются конструкции с формой 3-го л. множ. ч. оригинала, наиболее многочисленные в корпусе.

В русском тексте их оказывается больше, чем в переводных, что можно объяснить ограничением на их употребление в контекстах, в которых референциальный статус агенса соответствует неопре-деленному (В дверь постучали): в других славянских языках такие контексты требуют прибегать к заменам на неопределенное местоимение, декаузатив, номинализацию или иное лексическое сред-ство, позволяющее оставить агенс невыраженным. Аналогично при родовом статусе агенса (Я не знаю, как поступают в таких случаях) в рассматриваемых языках используется или нехарактер-ный для русского рефлексивный имперсонал, или лексема со значением ‘человек’.

Привлечение немецкого перевода позволяет определить результативные контексты, а также сред-ства, альтернативные конструкции с man, которая за счет широты употребления часто использует-ся как «фильтр» для контекстов с семантикой имперсонализации (к которым относится частотный в корпусе пассив, es с глаголами звука и конструкции с местоимениями 3-го л. множ. числа для обозначения ситуационно заданной группы лиц).
The effect of background Turkish music on developing and supporting intrinsic motivation in preschool period
Authors: Cömert Semanur , Özbey Saide
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to examine the effect of Turkish Music, which is played in the background in preschool education environments, on the intrinsic motivation levels of children in the preschool period. The study used a “quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design with retention test”, one of the quantitative research models. The study group of the study consists of 21 children aged 48–72 months, who were selected by purposive sampling method, attending the kindergartens of primary schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the city center of Tokat, Türkiye. The “Motivation Scale for Preschool Children (DMQ18)” was employed as a data collection tool to measure the motivation levels of children. In the study, while routine training activities were applied in the experimental group, Turkish Music pieces selected in accordance with each activity were played in the background. In the experimental group, background Turkish Music was played five days a week for four weeks. In the control group, the teacher practiced only daily activities. The study found a significant difference between the control and experimental group post-tests in favor of the experimental group. The study contributed to the literature as the first study to reveal that Turkish Music, which is played in the background during activities in preschool educational environments, makes a significant contribution to the intrinsic motivation levels of children.
Behavioral addictions in the ICD-11: An important debate that is anticipated to continue for some time
Authors: Brand Matthias , Potenza Marc N.
Published: September 2023

The Journal of Behavioral Addictions featured a debate on the topic of “behavioral addictions in ICD-11” in 2022. Three main debate papers were published and a total of eleven commentaries. One main topic of considerations in the three debate papers and in the majority of commentaries was compulsive sexual behavior disorder. The debate was balanced, collegial and conducted at a high scientific level. Although there are some disagreements regarding specific details, all authors consider more research on behavioral addictions as important. This scientific debate has been and continues to be enormously important to behavioral addiction research and clinical practice.

Development neuro-fuzzy model to predict the stocks of companies in the electric vehicle industry
Authors: Barlybayev Alibek , Zhetkenbay Lena , Karimov Didar , Yergesh Banu
Published: September 2023

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) it is a type of neural network that combines the strengths of both fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks. ANFIS is particularly useful in stock trading because it can handle uncertainty and imprecision in the data, which is common in stock market data. In stock trading, ANFIS can be used for a variety of purposes, such as predicting stock prices, identifying profitable trades, and detecting stock market trends. One of the key advantages of using ANFIS for stock trading is that it can handle both linear and non-linear relationships in the data. This is particularly useful in the stock market, where the relationships between different variables are often complex and non-linear. ANFIS can also be updated and retrained as new data becomes available, which allows it to adapt to changing market conditions. Therefore, the main hypothesis of this work is to understand whether it is possible to predict the dynamics of prices for stocks of companies in the electric vehicle (EV) sector using technical analysis indicators. The purpose of this work is to create a model for predicting the prices of companies in the EV sector. The technical analysis indicators were processed by several machine learning models. Linear models generally perform worse than more advanced techniques. Decision trees, whether fine or coarse, tend to yield poorer performance results in terms of RMSE, MSE and MAE. After conducting a data analysis, the ANFIS and Bayesian regularization back propagation Neural Network (BR-BPNN) models were seen to be the most effective. The ANFIS was trained for 2000 epochs which yielded a minimum RMSE of 5.90926
Designing a platform-based model of civic participation within the smart-city concept for post-war Ukrainian cities
Authors: Dunayev Igor , Gavkalova Nataliia , Kud Aleksander
Published: September 2023

The object of research is the concept of a smart city. The study considered the problem of interaction between local authorities and citizens in a smart city based on a platform approach. It was determined that the human-centric concept of a smart city involves representing the functions of the city government in the form of specific public services, the purpose of which is to satisfy the needs of citizens. Public participation and active citizenship are recognized as a key component of smart city development. The mechanisms of public participation in the smart city include information, consultations, discussions, public control of finances and joint funds. Multiple digital communication channels, including social networks, instant messengers, websites, e-mail, and various platforms for citizen appeals, could be used simultaneously to communicate through these mechanisms. This leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of interaction. As a result, information related to active public participation on official city websites is fragmented and often out of date. The scalable digital platform serves as a single environment for the exchange of information and resources between citizens and authorities and helps reduce the time and resources spent on organizing such communications. An example of the development of a digital service on the blockchain is given, implemented in the Bitbon decentralized information platform of Ukrainian origin. The practical application consists in ensuring broad citizen participation in filling funds and monitoring their financial transparency. The results of the implementation of platforms for the development of smart cities are organizing open data, encouraging stakeholders to participate in city management, developing innovative creativity and open dialog
