Published: April 2024

Leptospirosis is a reemerging zoonotic disease of worldwide significance, endemic to the southern region of India, with clinical manifestations similar to other febrile illnesses; hence, it is often misdiagnosed and underreported. Inadequate information about the disease burden and the regional circulating serogroups contributes to its neglected disease status. This study aimed to identify the infecting Leptospira serogroup in the coastal region of Mangaluru and study the clinical symptoms and outcome among leptospirosis patients. Serum samples were collected from 30 patients with confirmed leptospirosis admitted to a tertiary care center in Mangaluru and screened by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) for the infecting serogroup. The clinical profile of these cases was reviewed, and data regarding epidemiological factors such as age, sex, complications, and mortality were recorded. The MAT identified a higher occurrence of serogroup Bataviae (n = 7, 43.75%) and serogroup Australis (n = 5, 31.25%) compared with other serogroups screened in this study population. Patients were aged 16 to 65 years, with a predominance of males. The clinical presentation of leptospirosis ranged from a mild febrile illness to multiorgan failure. Fever (n = 29, 96%) was the common clinical presentation, followed by myalgia, nausea, and abdominal pain. Acute kidney injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome were the common complications observed. Determining the circulating serogroup is necessary to understand the epidemiology and diversity of Leptospira serogroups among animals and humans to strategize appropriate preventive measures.

Published: April 2024

Community participation is a critical element in the management of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus breeding sites. Many educational interventions have been conducted to encourage prevention and elimination of breeding sites among different community actors, such as government-run programs for vector surveillance aimed at preventing and eliminating breeding sites at the household level within a community. Getting people involved in prevention and elimination of vector breeding sites in their communities requires communication and social mobilization strategies to promote and reinforce those prevention actions that, in turn, should be effective from the entomological standpoint. Articles published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, were reviewed to assess whether educational interventions targeting Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus were effective in reducing entomological indicators or in improving practices to prevent the presence of or eliminate breeding sites. The most widely used indicators were larval indices and the practices associated with reducing/eliminating breeding sites. We found that using a community-based approach adapted to eco-epidemiological and sociocultural scenarios explains the reduction of entomological indicators by educational interventions. Those who design or implement educational interventions should strengthen the evaluation of those interventions using qualitative approaches that provide a more complete picture of the social context and the barriers and facilitators to implementing vector control. Engaging school children in cross-sectorial collaboration involving the health and education spheres promotes the participation of the community in vector surveillance and reduces the risk of arboviral disease transmission.

Malaria elimination is one of the top health care priorities in India, necessitating accessible and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. A malaria slide bank in India is a collection of quality-controlled malaria-positive and -negative slides and is considered a vital asset for quality diagnosis. The collection of blood samples, preparation of blood smears, staining, quality control, molecular characterizations, and slide validation were carried out according to standard operating procedures in accordance with the WHO reference laboratory. The true count and parasite density per microliter were computed in accordance with WHO guidelines. Over 27 months, 48 batches (8,196 slides) were prepared. Overall, the majority of slide batches were Plasmodium vivax (45.9%; 22/48), followed by Plasmodium falciparum (25%; 12/48), malaria-negative infections (25%; 12/48), and mixed infections (4.1%; 2/48). All 48 batches passed internal validation by WHO-certified level-1 microscopists. For a batch, the true count was the median of the validators’ counts (range, 111–280,795 parasites/µL). Except for mixed infections, the PCR results agreed with the verified microscopy results. Malaria slide bank slides would be a valuable tool for quality control, assurance, and microscopist training.

Uninterrupted availability of vaccines requires a robust vaccine supply chain and logistics system (VSCLS). With special focus on remote and underserved settings, we assessed the reach and bottlenecks of the Ethiopian VSCLS after the initiation of the last mile transition. We explored the perspectives of key stakeholders using a qualitative phenomenological study. More than 300 in-depth interviews and 22 focus group discussions were conducted. The study was sequentially implemented over two phases to understand the bottlenecks at national and regional (Phase I) and lower (Phase II) levels. After the transition, the Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Supply Service started supplying vaccines directly to health facilities, bypassing intermediaries. The transition reduced supply hiccups and enabled the health sector to focus on its core activities. However, in remote areas, achievements were modest, and health facilities have been receiving supplies indirectly through district health offices. By design, health posts collect vaccines from health centers, causing demotivation of health extension workers and frequent closure of health posts. Challenges of the VSCLS include artificial shortage due to ill forecasting and failure to request needs on time, lack of functional refrigerators secondary to scarcity of skilled technicians and spare parts, and absence of dependable backup power at health centers. Vaccine wastages owing to poor forecasts, negligence, and cold chain problems are common. The VSCLS has not yet sustainably embraced digital logistics solutions. The system is overstrained by frequent outbreak responses and introduction of new vaccines. We concluded that the transition has improved the VSCLS, but the reach remains suboptimal in remote areas.

Infection with Strongyloides stercoralis is often asymptomatic but can be life-threatening in immunocompromised patients, which can be prevented by ivermectin (IVM) treatment. The efficacy of IVM has been reported to have lessened over time in some regions as a consequence of prolonged use and mass treatment campaigns. Ivermectin has been used in Thailand for more than a decade; therefore, we investigated the efficacy of a single dose (200 µg/kg) of IVM against in asymptomatic strongyloidiasis in northeastern Thailand. Fecal samples were collected before and 2 weeks after treatment and were analyzed for the presence of Strongyloides using a modified agar plate culture and the formalin-ethyl acetate concentration technique. Our results showed that single-dose IVM treatment successfully eliminated S. stercoralis infection in asymptomatic individuals in the endemic area with a 100% cure rate, indicating the high efficacy of IVM treatment in strongyloidiasis in northeast Thailand.

Groundnut milk also known as peanut milk, is an increasingly popular based beverage that serves as a potential alternative to cow’s milk. It is rich in essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals but limited research has explored its effect on nutritional status and biochemical indices. Therefore, this study assessed the effect of groundnut milk intake on nutritional status and some biochemical indices of Wistar rats. The Wistar rats (n=20), with body weight ≤50g were randomly divided into four groups of five rats each: Group 1 served as control. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were administered groundnut milk at daily doses of 247.2, 494.3, and 988.6 mg/kg respectively for eight weeks. Significant increase in abdominal circumference (P<0.005) between groups was observed. However, increase in the BMI and thoracic circumference between groups were insignificant (P>0.05). The levels of TC, TG and LDL-c were decreased significantly (P<0.005). However, HDL-c showed no significant difference. The decrease in atherogenic index, atherogenic coefficient and cardiac risk ratio indices were insignificant (P>0.05). The groundnut milk had no effect on serum total protein, adiponectin, and albumin while it increased serum leptin level significantly (P<0.005). The blood glucose levels of group 2, 3 and 4 were lowered dose-dependently (P<0.005) compared to the control. Groundnut milk showed no effect on liver and kidney-to-body weight ratio (P>0.05), but showed effect on heart-to-body weight ratio (P<0.005). The ratio of food and water intake of groups 2, 3, and 4 decreased significantly (P<0.005) compared to the control group. The results revealed that groundnut milk could play a positive role nutritionally and positively influence lipid profile, glucose, and leptin levels in a dose-related manner.

Published: April 2024

Microplastic (MP) release into the terrestrial environment has occurred since humans started manufacturing and using plastics. These tiny plastic particles can be found in various media, including the atmosphere, soil, freshwater, sediments, and organisms. MPs migrate through terrestrial environmental media due to wind, water, gravity, and biological processes. Although the variables that affect the migration process have been investigated in various settings, the mechanisms of MP migration in terrestrial environments have yet to be systematically characterized. This study classifies the migration mechanisms of MPs as physical, chemical and biological manners, and discusses the factors affecting migration mechanisms in dynamic factors, environmental factors and MP characteristics. Examining the action mechanisms of migration can establish a foundation for understanding the migration processes of MPs and provide a theoretical framework for modeling MP movement in environmental. Future research challenges include understanding the effect of MP characteristics in the migration process and simulating the migration of MPs in the environment in the long-term. Exploring the MP migration on various spatial and temporal scales, considering the life cycle of MPs is a worthy research direction.

Published: April 2024

Social awareness or Kesadaran sosial in Bahasa Indonesia is a personality trait of individuals who possess intelligence and sensitivity towards the social environment in accordance with religious and social norms. The development of social awareness needs to be cultivated and ingrained through the educational process. Therefore, this research focuses on the study of habit-forming practices carried out at Mts. Zainul Irsyad Probolinggo through Islamic religious education integrated with the students' environment. By employing the analytical tools of Thomas Lickona and Ivan Pavlov's theories, it was found that character education is an effort to shape an individual's understanding of ethical values deliberately. However, according to Pavlov, instilling character education in an individual requires repetitive stimuli, thus referring to it as habituation. The results of this research indicate that the habit-forming practices of Islamic religious education at Madrasah Tsanawiyah have an impact on the social awareness of students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Zainul Irsyad Probolinggo, manifested in their social and moral skills within the community environment.

Published: April 2024

In recent years, the agro-industrial complex has emerged as a crucial sector in the Republic of Kazakhstan, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the nation's food security. State support for agriculture constitutes a multifaceted mechanism encompassing measures that influence the income of agricultural industries, the structure and scale of agricultural production, the agri-food market, and the social fabric of rural areas. Financial resources are allocated from budgets at various administrative levels to support the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan. The primary objective is to assess the efficient utilization of budget funds allocated to the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan. A combination of economic-statistical, estimated-comparative, logical, and analytical analysis methods was employed to achieve this goal. The results reveal that a targeted agricultural policy, coupled with effective state regulation mechanisms, enables the attainment of high levels of productivity and efficiency in this industry. Nevertheless, despite these successes, the current role of the agro-industrial complex in shaping the economy is deemed insufficient. This is evidenced by indicators assessing the sector's contribution to macroeconomic benchmarks. In conclusion, an evaluation of the current state of development in the Republic of Kazakhstan's agricultural industry reflects a positive growth trend in recent years. However, the agricultural sector continues to be among the less profitable segments of the domestic economy, grappling with persistent challenges that have yet to be fully overcome.

Authors: Askarova Zh. A. , Kogut O. Yu. , Askarova G. A.
Published: April 2024

The article considers the concept of “investment in human capital”, presents a theoretical and instrumental interpretation of the main components of human capital. The current assessment methods and indicators that characterize the effectiveness of investments in human capital are summarized. Also, a comprehensive and critical analysis of the current methodological aspects for assessing the effectiveness of investments in human capital was made. Education is considered as a property in the form of professional features and self-growing value on the basis of increasing labour productivity of an employee, which is correspondingly distinguished by the growth of wages. Creation of the methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of investments in education at the macroeconomic level is based on the comparison of public investments in education and average wages in the country. The average wage is considered as a productive indicator of the effectiveness of investments in education. The money that is spent on the education of the younger generation, in the foreseeable future will establish the degree of education of the population of the state and, in turn, its competitive advantage in the global community. The proposed model for assessing the effectiveness of investment in education is simple and convenient, it is able to link the efficiency of the firm's activities and the cost of human capital. The article shows the results of the assessment of investment efficiency of the implementation of the State Programme of Education and Science Development of RK for 2020–2025. The analysis of statistical data for Kazakhstan also shows the existence of a close relationship between the remuneration of employees and the volume of investment in education. The article has both theoretical and practical relevance, as it is related to the State Programme “Digital Kazakhstan” with the direction “Human Capital Development” and the topic is in relevant.

In the course of the present research the authors conducted a literary review of 16 scientific publications, including 2 textbooks, 2 monographs, 3 articles in international journals Scopus, 4 articles in journals recommended by CQASHE of MSHE of the RK, 5 articles in the database Google Scholar. As an analysis of the literature shows, the issues of tools and technologies for promotion in the Internet environment remain open and debatable. One of the most important digital solutions for product promotion are virtual exhibitions, which, however, have not been sufficiently studied and reflected in modern scientific literature on marketing. Therefore, virtual exhibitions are the subject of study in this paper. The purpose of the study is to develop practical recommendations for organizing and holding virtual exhibitions as an effective tool for the successful promotion of goods and services on the market. The main directions of the research are the study of world, Russian and domestic experience in carrying out online exhibition activities for its use in the activities of Kazakh enterprises. The idea of the study is to create a virtual platform in Kazakhstan to assist national firms in holding virtual exhibitions. The results of the study are that the authors have developed a model of marketing technologies for promoting products on the Internet, and offered practical recommendations for the creation and operation of a specialized exhibition company for organizing virtual exhibitions. Kazakh companies can use the authors’ recommendations for holding virtual exhibitions to successfully promote their products. In addition, the results of the study will be used to teach courses in «Digital Marketing» and «Marketing Communications».

On Mediated Translations of Fairy Tales
Authors: Jivanyan Alvard
Published: April 2024

In the present article, we regard mediated translations of fairy tales as unique recreations, making the afterlife of the original text and contributing to its variability. Our attention has been focused not so much on the equivalence of the mediated translation to the original as on the nature and main characteristics of the mediated translation as a text. The goal of this study has been to rethink the very status of indirect translations involving intralingual and intersemiotic readings of the original in our research. The survey results have demonstrated the fascinating potential of the source text to modify and transform.
Mediated Translation between Italian and Russian Languages
Authors: Giust Anna
Published: April 2024

La forza del destino was commissioned to Giuseppe Verdi by the St Petersburg Imperial Theatres in 1861, and premiered in November 1862,  at the Bolshoy  Kamenny Theatre. The opera was written on a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, and draws its subject from the Spanish drama Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino, by Ángel de Saavedra, through an Italian version by Faustino Sanseverino, and with insertions of fragments from Schiller’s trilogy Wallengstein. In this paper I analyse the genesis of the opera, considering the typical derivation of Italian operatic librettos from pre-existing literary works, a process that combines mediated and inter-semiotic translation. This allows me to show the artistic resources offered by mediated translation in the field of stage literature. On another level of discussion, given that for the Premiere Apollon Grigor’yev translated the libretto from Italian to Russian, I consider the role of translation on the reception of this subject by the local audience.
Literary and Cultural Enrichment in Soviet Armenia: Exploring Russian-Mediated Translation Traditions in the Soviet Era
Authors: Ghazaryan Ruzan
Published: April 2024

This paper seeks to underline the pivotal role the Russian language played in nurturing a rich educational and cultural atmosphere in Soviet Armenia. In fact, Russian greatly contributed to the shaping of the educational environment exerting immense influence on the academic progress and intellectual growth. It aims to provide insight into the translation traditions prevalent in the Soviet era where Russian assumed the crucial role of a cultural facilitator. In fact, it served as an intermediary language for not only Armenia, but also other Soviet republics making the large body of foreign literature accessible for Soviet readers. Yet, following the abolition of the Soviet regime, translation practices and methodologies experienced a sudden transformation guaranteeing the rapid transition from translations mediated by Russian to direct translation approaches. We believe this study will help shed light on the interplay of language and culture in the context of Armenian’s historic journey from the Soviet era to the present day.

This study aims to identify how certain factors, such as internal environmental locus of control and environmental insight, can influence pro-environmental behavior. The research method used involved collecting data through questionnaires distributed via Google form to 100 students from tertiary institutions in the city of Surabaya. The sample in this study was selected through an accidental sampling technique, which means that the respondents were selected by accident according to their availability. The data obtained from the questionnaire will be analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. Multiple linear regression is used to identify the relationship between several independent variables (in this case, internal environmental locus of control and environmental insight) to the dependent variable (pro-environmental behavior). The results of multiple linear regression analysis can provide information about the significant influence of the internal environmental locus of control and environmental insight on pro-environmental behavior
