Dampak Polusi Plastik Bahari terhadap Sosial Ekonomi Pariwisata Bekerlanjutan pada Pesisir Pantai Kendari dan Konawe
Authors: Imran Muhammad
Published: February 2025

Marine plastic waste has become a big scourge for local governments in Indonesia in developing the coastal tourism ecosystem. To reduce marine plastic waste, local governments in Indonesia have implemented various policies, but the impact has not been published well academically. This study aims to provide an in-depth approach to the consequences of marine plastic waste on socio-economic growth, especially on the coastal tourism industry in Kendari Southeast Sulawesi, such as how local communities and tourism visitors receive the consequences of the prohibition of littering, as well as the potential for behavior and change. In addition to conducting a survey of changes in the behavior of leaders and managers in beach tourism, this study will also conduct a statistical approach to measure and test the impact of economic growth of Kendari city as the capital of Southeast Sulawesi Province due to marine plastic waste. The results of the multiple linear regression model estimate show that marine plastic waste has a negative effect on the GDP of Kendari city per capita (coefficient -0.10, p-value 0.000). This means that an increase in the amount of marine plastic waste per kilometer of beach in the city of Kendari will reduce the GDP of the city of Kendari per capita. In addition, the number of tourist visits per year in the city of Kendari has a positive effect on the GDP of Kendari city per capita (coefficient 0.01, p-value 0.019). This shows that the increase in the number of tourist visits per year in the city of Kendari will increase the GDP of the city of Kendari per capita. The results of this study show that marine plastic waste has a negative effect on the socio-economy of local communities and beach tourism visitors in Kendari and Konawe.

Integrating Source Texts and Building Up Genre Awareness in ESP Classrooms: a Focus on Law Reports
Authors:   Moscow State University, Arinova B.
Published: February 2025

Texts as units of discourse have always been the units of study in ESP classrooms; for teaching purposes they can be viewed as linguistic objects or as vehicles of information, while in linguistics specialized texts are considered to be units of gen­res which share common characteristics. Reading source texts (legislation, case law, rulings etc.) is the staple of the legal pro­fession, par consequence, exposing law students to such texts in a legal English class prompts a lot of questions related to dis­course (context) awareness and genre-awareness. Building on the theories of language learning and ESP teaching methodolo­gies we discuss the effective treatment of texts of professional communication within legal English course. Drawing on the ex­ample of UK law reports the author outlines the principles of effective incorporation of professional texts: interaction, elabo­ration, contextualization and translation and explains what type of tasks could reflect those principles in the practice of teaching.

Authors:   Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Boldova T.
Published: February 2025

The subject of this article is the development of strategies for teaching foreign languages using digital communication. Therefore, the topic is an integrative learning environment, which, according to the method of the research, acts as an extra­curricular (curriculum) learning activity, which is necessary to increase academic performance and motivation. The study’s analyses were based on examining the scope of work with the online components of the network. Didactic work with this ap­proach was carried out on a variety of foreign language texts, on open and closed texts in the network space. This involved dynamic dialogue between students on various topics related to the subject matter being studied. As a result of the study, various dimensions (linguistic, sociocultural, intercultural, multimodal) presented in two groups of students were associated. According to the results obtained, students were highly motivated during their joint educational work using network applications when teaching foreign languages, which subsequently served to devel­op intercultural competence.

Published: February 2025

In the current complex geopolitical situation, international security is of paramount importance, and the role of a diplomat with skills of professional-oriented translation, including trans­lation of international documents, is increasing. A key task in the field of didactics of translation for language departments is the development of training handbooks, the aim of which is the for­mation of linguistic and translation competences, as well as an alytical abilities of students in the field of translation of docu­ments of official business style. To achieve this goal, the authors suggest using the handbook by Elena E. Osetrova and Dilyara K. Davletshina “Challenges to International Security”, designed to acquaint students with the organisational and regulating func­tion of the diplomatic substyle, as well as the description of syn­tactic and semantic models and other elements of the external organisation of this type of texts. The structure of this handbook, according to the authors, seems to be optimal, contributes to the expansion of students’ vocabulary in the field of international security and allows to practice the main translation transforma­tions at different levels of the text. Moreover, the article provides necessary methodological recommendations.

Authors:   Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University, Kogan M. , Enaeva V. ,   Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University
Published: February 2025

The number of educational videos in English has remarkably increased due to Covid 19 pandemic, which caused the transition of educational institutions to the remote mode. These learning materials are available on different Internet portals both freely available (e.g. YouTube, university websites, MOOC platforms) and for subscription (e.g. IEEE courses available on IEEE Xplore). Though some of the video resources are relevant to topics con­sidered in the ESP courses, there are problems with their usage in the classroom because these authentic English educational resources are not language teaching materials. The paper de­scribes the authors’ experience on converting video course “Un­derstanding Blockchain Technology” developed by IEEE in the 30-min video lecture format into a didactic resource for ESP classes for Economics and IT students of SPbPU. The paper con­tains the algorithm of converting the video lecture into a lan­guage didactic resource consisting of 5 steps (making the video lecture script, the text complexity evaluation, timing the course, diving the course into a number of thematic episodes, and the development of pre-, while-, post- listening and knowledge review exercises to each episode), and the results of the pedagogical experiment on the integration of the adapted video course into the ESP curriculum.
On the Issue of Teaching a Foreign Language for Specific Purposes
Authors:   Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after V.Y.Kikot, Kuzhevskaya E.
Published: February 2025

Teaching a foreign language, as a part of the educational pro­cess at a Higher School, should contribute to the professional development of the student. Teaching a foreign language for spe­cific purposes is designed to expand the capabilities of future professionals, to give them another tool for solving specific pro­fessional problems. Thus, in law schools it would be advisable to include in the curriculum of foreign language classes the study of conversational strategies (Brown-Levinson theory, Grice’s Maxims), their application in one’s own speech and correct per­ception in the speech of the interlocutor. Which is one of the key points to understanding what was said, both in the case of friend­ly communication and in a conflict situation. In classes, students can be asked to consider examples of such speech behavior and analyze them. Here you can use both English-language sources (in the case of learning English) and Russian-language ones, drawing analogies and selecting an adequate translation. The article discusses several such examples that can be offered to future lawyers for consideration.
Teaching Values in an Advanced ESP Classroom in Humanities Universities
Authors:   MGIMO University, Krutskikh E. , Khvatova E. ,   MGIMO University
Published: February 2025

Since the early 1990s the Russian Federation has been trying to become a part of the Western educational system based on the liberal paradigm, and as a result it has abandoned its crucial func­tion, that of teaching pupils civic and national values. Amid the unfolding information war against Russia, it has become clear that schools and universities need to take up this mission to in­culcate the values of patriotism, civic duty, responsibility for the destiny of the country. Schools of tertiary education play a spe­cial role in shaping a critically minded person who upholds tra­ditional national values. Teachers of foreign languages are at the forefront of the ideological confrontation as teaching a foreign language at an advanced level is closely linked with the analysis and evaluation of texts that often have a biased perspective on international developments, particularly on Russia’s policy. Therefore, a premium must be placed on the methodology of teaching, selecting appropriate materials in order for students to develop a critical approach to working with information.

Translating Law Terms: Approaches and Techniques
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Shatalova N.
Published: February 2025

The article focuses on adaptation and alienation strategies in translating law terms. The first approach relies on the adaptation of terms to the recipient legal system, using both specifying and gener­alising transformations in coining equivalents. The second strategy aims at making the target audience aware of the discrepancies exist­ing between the two law systems, compelling the translator to create a descriptive phrase. The method employed in the analysis involves a comparative study of law terms, as well as addressing semantic and usage aspects of the terms. The latter may expand the scope of the meaning and require a more extensive commentary from the trans­lator. The article also highlights the importance of such factors as the target audience and usage. Both the strategies may be used in dealing with the same term, flexibility being the key quality of a translator.

Published: February 2025

This study reviewed the legibility of Thai typefaces, type sizes, and colour contrast in mobile applications provided by Thai government offices. Although the Electronic Government Agency (Public Organization) (EGA) has introduced the Government Website Standards and Government Mobile Application Standards, these standards need to cover the design of Thai typographical concerns such as legibility and visibility in great detail. This study aimed to identify typographical issues that may arise in these mobile applications and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. The findings of this study could lead to future investigations that provide a better understanding of the topic and contribute to the development of appropriate standards and legislation. We conducted an in depth analysis of Thai Government mobile applications on Android focusing on public service areas. Using a smartphone to take screenshots and a vector graphics design program to measure physical type sizes based on the Bo Baimai height measurement, we measured the use of typefaces, type sizes, and colour contrast to ensure accessibility to all users. Additionally, we used a colour contrast analyser application to measure colour contrast and ensure accessibility to all users. Our study provides insights to improve user experiences with these applications and highlights that Thai web and mobile standards lack suitable fonts and sizes. We identified two main categories of Thai typefaces: conventional text fonts and Roman-like Thai fonts. Most Thai mobile applications used letter sizes bigger than 1.2 mm in Bo Baimai height, but some used smaller sizes, which could be worse for reading. The smallest type sizes for body text ranged from 1 to 1.7 mm. Regarding contrast ratios, we found that regular text in selected mobile applications did not meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 enhanced contrast requirement of a 7:1 ratio. However, some contrast ratios for large text met the 4.5:1 requirement. Some regular text with a 4.5:1 contrast ratio requirement passed the WCAG 2.1 minimum contrast test, whereas some large text with a 3:1 contrast ratio requirement also met the criteria. Our study suggests the need for developing better standards and regulations for Thai fonts, sizes, and colour contrasts in mobile applications to ensure accessibility for all users.

This is an experimental and statistical approach to assess the impact of AM and FM screen ruling in screen printing under the condition such as printing of a test target on both coated and uncoated paper with three different types of screen mesh count. The change in print quality according to the screen mesh count are focused here, because the screen mesh count is one of the key elements in screen printing that influences the ink flow through the mesh as well as the excellence of stencil image or halftone dots over the mesh. Under three different screen mesh count, the impact of AM and FM halftone in the print quality on both coated and uncoated paper grades are evaluated in the analysis part. The print quality assessment parameters taken as solid ink density, dot gain, hue error and print contrast at 30%, 50%, & 70% tonal areas of the print. Twelve different combinations of input variables such as coated and uncoated substrate, AM and FM halftone dots, 100 lpi, 120 lpi and 140 lpi screen mesh counts etc. are employed at different print trials. The print quality assessment and ranking of each experiment are done by Taguchi’s Grey Relational Analysis, which is a best method to implement in the decision-making process of quality control
Metodología de estudio territorial en la educación rural del municipio de Quinchía, Colombia
Authors: Bonilla Marquínez Olga Patricia , González Henao Michael Andrés
Published: February 2025

Artículo producto de tesis doctoral, que presenta el territorio educativo rural de Quinchía, como ejercicio para conocer las lecturas de los actores y dilucidar las implicaciones de estas en la constitución de un sistema-cuerpo, simbólicobióticodel espacio significado, compartido y coconstruido que emerge del cruce e intercambio de los anunciamientos individuales (mapas). La investigación se asume desde una postura compleja con elementos de la etnografía crítica como entrevistas dialogantes, encuestas de situaciones y taller situacional, siendo la triangulación de datos la técnica de rigor científico. Algunos resultados develan los niveles de lectura y conciencia dentro del dominio territorial, que son elementos “mapificados” del territorio educativo sometidos a la individualidad del constructo “sujeto”, en tanto las críticas, desde una condición entrópica positiva, deconstruyen el contexto simbólico-comunicacional de su cultura educativa. En la discusión y las conclusiones se puede avizorar la vinculación asimétrica entre las formas operantes de docentes, padres y estudiantes, lo que transforma las escuelas y colegios en sistemas cuasi-cerrados, aislados del territorio, cuyo principio organizativo responde al currículo y no a las relaciones actor-territorio, que configuran el escenario como un sistemas de control en equilibrio inestable, atemporal, cuyos principios instituidos evitan y rechazan toda emergencia que internamente pueda aparecer normalizando los vínculos excluyentes.

Glioblastoma mimicking autoimmune meningitis in an adult: A complex diagnostic challenge
Authors: Wakabayashi Mana , Ogiwara Toshihiro , Ito Kiyoshi , Sato Atsushi , Hanaoka Yoshiki , Kobayashi Kenichi , Shimizu Yusaku , Hongo Kazuhiro
Published: February 2025

Background

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis. It commonly affects the brain and rarely spreads outside the central nervous system owing to barriers like the blood–brain barrier. We present a rare case of GBM with atypical features mimicking autoimmune meningitis, complicating the diagnosis.

Case Description

A 45-year-old previously healthy man presented with persistent headaches, dizziness, vomiting, neck pain, diplopia from bilateral abducens nerve palsy, and cognitive dysfunction. The cerebrospinal fluid analysis did not confirm meningitis, although initial clinical and radiological findings suggested autoimmune meningitis. Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed postcontrast leptomeningeal enhancement and meningeal thickening. A spinal MRI revealed a contrast-enhancing lesion at the L1 level with leptomeningeal enhancement of the spinal cord. Despite empirical steroid therapy, his condition worsened, resulting in severe neurological deficits and impaired consciousness. A biopsy confirmed GBM through L1-2 laminectomy. Although adjuvant therapy was scheduled, his health rapidly declined, and he passed away on the 24th day of admission before receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Conclusion

GBM can rarely present with noticeable symptoms and radiological features resembling autoimmune meningitis, posing diagnostic challenges. GBM cases involving spinal dissemination typically have a poorer prognosis, emphasizing the necessity of thorough diagnostic strategies. These should encompass histopathological biopsy and advanced imaging for optimal management, as delayed intervention significantly impacts survival. This report highlights the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for GBM and prompt intervention, including biopsy, in the presence of atypical clinical, radiological, and laboratory signs suggestive of meningitis.

Background

Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgeries often face complications, such as pseudoarthrosis and rod fractures (RFs), particularly at the lumbosacral junction. While transforaminal lumbosacral interbody fusion (TLIF) at L5-S1 is thought to improve outcomes, its efficacy in major ASD surgeries remains unclear. This study aims to compare clinical and radiological outcomes and implant complications in patients undergoing spinopelvic fixation with or without L5-S1 TLIF.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 157 ASD patients who underwent high-grade osteotomies and spinopelvic fixation from 2021 to 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: those with L5-S1 TLIF (C group, n = 71) and those without (NC group, n = 86). Outcomes included rod fracture (RF) rate, sagittal alignment, and patient-reported measures such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), assessed at baseline, 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.

Results

RFs were significantly lower in the C group (4% vs. 13%, P = 0.03). Improved postoperative sagittal vertical axis and pelvic tilt were noted in the C group (P < 0.01). Both VAS and ODI scores were significantly better at 6 and 12 months in the C group (P < 0.01), along with higher SF-36 scores. No significant differences in baseline characteristics, estimated blood loss, or operation time were observed.

Conclusion

The use of L5-S1 TLIF reduces RF rates, improves sagittal alignment, and clinical outcomes in ASD surgery. Incorporating TLIF at L5-S1 may optimize outcomes without increasing perioperative risks.

Aim. To assess patients’ adherence to conservative treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma and analyze the reasons for non-compliance with recommendations.

Methods. A survey was conducted among patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (112 people aged 40 to 89 years), which included 17 questions with answer options.

Results. The survey revealed a number of both understandable and unobvious factors that reduce patients’ adherence to treatment, such as inconvenience or impossibility of drops instillation, lack of understanding of the seriousness of their diagnosis and the need to follow strictly the prescribed treatment, and lack of desire to discuss with the doctor the reasons for non-compliance with treatment.

Conclusions. Physicians need to have an open dialogue with patients about their concerns and beliefs, the cost of medications, and develop an individualized plan to optimize compliance with intraocular pressure-lowering medications.

Key words: primary open-angle glaucoma, patient’s adherence to treatment
Reaktivität von Koordinationsverbindungen XX : Redoxverhaiten von Oxo-3,5-disulfobrenzcatechinato-vanadium(V)
Authors: Braun-Steinle D. , Fallab S.
Published: February 2025

The oxydation of pyrocatechole-3,5-disulfonic acid by vanadium(V) in acidic solution has been studied spectrophotometrically. Analysis of kinetic data suggests two parallel reaction paths: (a) An initially formed intensely coloured VO2+ substrate complex reacts monomolecularily to give a semiquinone intermediate which is rapidly oxidized to the quinone by a second VO2+. (b) The VO2+-substrate complex is attacked directly by a second VO2+ yielding the quinone and 2 VO2+. Catalysis by Fe3+ is explained by reaction of the corresponding iron(III)-chelate of the substrate with VO2+.

Glucose-labeled steryl glycoside (0.5 mc/mM) has been obtained biosynthetically by incubation of a lettuce (Lactuca saliva L.) leaf particulate fraction with UDP-glucose-14C. When dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide and incubated with the same particulate fraction, steryl 14C-glucoside (SG) was found to be converted by acylation to esterified steryl 14C-glucoside (ESG). The identity of ESG has been confirmed by deacylation and by recrystallization of the deacylated product with carrier steryl glycoside to constant specific activity. This experiment demonstrates the biosynthesis of ESG in plants by acylation of SG.

Published: February 2025

В статье проанализирован ряд моделей стратегического управления на предприятии. Определены основные этапы их формирования и ключевые элементы обеспечения их реализации. Построение системы стратегического управления осуществляется на основании определенной модели, с конкретными, в зависимости от обстоятельств, стадиями (этапами и элементами). Выявлено, что любая система стратегического управления имеет сходные составные элементы и, соответственно, ее построение осуществляется на основании базовой модели, в которую входят три стадии: стратегическое планирование, стратегическая организация, стратегический контроль и регулирование. Предложен алгоритм комбинаторной композиции базовой модели системы стратегического управления на предприятии. Развернутый вид реализации этапов комбинаторной композиции формирование системы стратегического управления раскрывает процесс согласования элементов, в частности целей, функций, задач, ресурсов, управления, что помогает качественнее адаптироваться к изменениям.

Spontaneous or Stimulated? Investigating Raman’s Detection Limits in Aqueous Environments
Authors: Mohn Karsten , Dong Bin , Mahapatra Shivam , Singh Ishaan K. , Lomont Justin P. , Wan Boyong , Zhang Chi
Published: February 2025

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method for analyzing chemical compositions across diverse samples. Spontaneous Raman scattering (spRS) provides complete Raman spectra but typically yields low signal levels, requiring long signal integration times. In contrast, stimulat-ed Raman scattering (SRS) produces much stronger signals, allowing for rapid spectral acquisition, and has been widely used to accelerate chemical imaging. Despite advances in both techniques, it remains unclear which method offers superior limits of detection (LODs) for molecules in biological samples. While theoretical comparisons under ideal conditions suggest that performance depends on photon flux and integration time, no experimental studies have directly compared the LOD of spRS and SRS spectroscopy. In this study, we systemati-cally compare the LOD of frequency-domain spRS and SRS for water-soluble analytes in aqueous solutions, a common environment for biological specimens. We first introduce a simplified LOD estimation methodology by taking only three measurements to derive the dilu-tion maximum (DM). This methodology achieved LOD estimates closely aligned with those obtained through serial dilution. Using this approach, we assessed the impact of various parameters, including Stokes laser power, the presence of beam scanning, number of pixels, and pixel dwell time, on the LOD of SRS spectroscopy and determined optimal conditions for SRS. Our results demonstrate that at short inte-gration times, SRS exhibits shot-noise-limited performance, with LOD inversely proportional to the square root of the acquisition time. At longer integration times, photothermal effects can cause deviations from ideal LOD scenarios. Under optimized experimental conditions, spectral-domain SRS confidently detects ~700 μM dimethyl sulfoxide in water and 1 g/L glucose and bovine serum albumin in aqueous solutions without spectral averaging. This performance can surpass that of spRS spectroscopy, even with equal or longer integration times.
