Authors: Vk Vivek
Published: September 2024

To evaluate the effects of estrogen and estrogenic compounds on cognition in ovariectomized rats. Female Albino wistar rats (3–5 months old) weighing 250–300 g were randomly divided into seven groups: Sham, ovariectomized (OVX), OVX plus estradiol valerate, OVX plus ipriflavone, OVX plus raloxifene, OVX plus tibolone, OVX plus low-dose estradiol   valerate and  ipriflavone.  All   treatments   were   given orally for 3 months; whereas the drug groups received indicated drugs, the Sham and OVX control groups received saline. The escape latency of rats was tested by the Morris water maze test and the expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in hippocampus was determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The level of serum estradiol and the diameter of the endometrial gland and the thickness of endometrium were also evaluated. The latency of the OVX group was noticeably longer than that of the Sham group, and the latency of all treatment groups was lower than that of OVX rats. The expression of APP mRNA in the hippocampii of OVX rats was significantly increased relative to that in Sham rats; interestingly, expression of APP in treatment groups was significantly reduced relative to OVX rats.

Published: September 2024

The article examines various types of crafts practiced by the nomadic Kazakhs of the Semirechye region at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The analysis is based on data from the statistical cadastral historical source "Materials on the Survey of Indigenous and Russian Settler Economy and Land Use..." (hereinafter referred to as MKZ). The author discusses agricultural, trade, handicraft, free, cottage, and other types of crafts in the districts of Jarkent, Lepsy, Verny, and Kopal. It is shown that between 3% to 15% of the nomadic population engaged in these crafts in the districts. Using statistics, it is demonstrated that a small number of adolescents and women participated in these crafts, with the number of adolescents significantly exceeding that of women. The study explains why and for what purpose the income from crafts is presented not only in rubles but also in livestock (sheep). Calculations of income from crafts per family and per member in the districts show that agricultural crafts (herders, laborers, unskilled workers, horsemen, plowmen, harvesters, mowers, drivers, etc.) were the main source of income, thus the author directly proves the livestock-oriented nature of the livelihoods of the region's inhabitants.

The article presents the results of a study of the chemical and mineralogical composition of the raw material components in the ceramic mass and provides techniques for the technology of laying ceramic material by vibropressing using talc rock in the mass and methods for determining the composition of clay raw materials.
Formulations for the production of ceramic road surfaces, taking into account the factors of preference for mixtures to improve the properties of the finished product as a molding, drying and ceramic material, have been studied in two different components.
It was found that the introduction of talc into the ceramic composition has an effect on the formation of high-temperature augite and amphibole phases and the intensification of the formation of minerals in clay, on the formation of high-temperature phases - sanidine, ackermanite elements.
 
This process leads to an increase in the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting samples.The main patterns of formation of the structure and phase of ceramic compositions by firing in the temperature range 1000оC-1100оC were studied by isothermal control.In this pattern, sintering processes with solid and solid liquid-phase syntheses were carried out to ensure the phase - mineral composition, the study clarified the production of high-strength and frost-resistant ceramic pavement.
In order to be used in the improvement of the city territory (sidewalks, alleys, park areas, playgrounds, etc.), the possibility of obtaining ceramic road surfaces that meet environmental and operational requirements has been proven.
It has been established that one of the priority properties of ceramic road surfaces is a significant abundance of their porosity (25-30%), which allows you to quickly absorb moisture from precipitation (rain, sleet, etc.) and filter water through the body into the ground.Such properties of ceramic paving stones prevent the accumulation of moisture on the surface of the roadway and create comfortable conditions during pedestrian movement, reducing the likelihood of ice formation on the surface of the paving stones in the cold season.
Student's Attitude and Semantic Knowledge Towards Learning Geometry: Basis for Learning Plan
Authors: Gimotea Leslie Ann
Published: September 2024

This research paper analyzes the difference and relationship between attitude and mathematical semantic knowledge of Grade Seven students, as a whole, and according to the profiles, namely, sex, educational attainment of the parents, family monthly income, and gadgets used for learning. The respondents of this study were restricted to seventh-grade students enrolled during the school year 2022- 2023 and were selected using a random sampling technique. The study concentrates on the least mastered skills presented in the Most Essential Learning Competency of K-12 Curriculum to assess the learning gap in Geometry, where most studies need to consider a plan that could help educators teach their lessons to the varying needs and interests of the students. The data in this research were obtained using the researcher-made questionnaire that had been validated by the experts and had undergone a reliability test. The result of the study shows that female students have more positive attitudes in learning Geometry than their male counterparts. Other profiles in the study did not affect students’ attitudes toward learning Geometry. Regarding mathematical semantic knowledge, it was found that all profiles did not affect the student's performance in the geometry assessment. Moreover, students must meet the required standards in understanding and performance, requiring effective learning plans and immediate interventions to address academic gaps. The result also revealed that males performed slightly higher than females in the Geometry assessment. The Grade Seven students' attitudes significantly affect their Mathematical Semantic Knowledge only slightly. It further shows that as they become more positive towards Mathematics, their Mathematical Semantic Knowledge is more likely to increase moderately.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To investigate the effects of various beverages on the color stability of permanent composite resins produced by additive (AM) or subtractive manufacturing (SM) techniques comparatively.
Materials and Methods: Six composite resin materials produced by SM (Vita Enamic-VE, Cerasmart-CE, Lava Ultimate-LU) and AM (Varseo Smile Crown plus-VSC, Saremco print Crowntech-SPC, Formlabs 3B Permanent Crown-FPC) techniques were selected and soaked in different solutions (artificial saliva, black tea, coffee) for different times (0, 1 and 7 days). L*, a*, b* values of the samples were recorded using a spectrophotometer. The color changes of the samples were determined using the CIELAB formula. In determining the color differences between the test materials, Kruskal-Wallis analysis was used when one-way analysis of variance wasn’t available. Results: Group VE was the least stained group on the 1st and 7th day of artificial saliva solution and the 7th day of coffee solution, while Group CE was the least stained group on the 1st day of coffee solution. In the tea solution, on the 1st and 7th days, there wasn’t difference in the materials' color change (p>0.05). Tea and coffee solutions caused statistically significantly more color change in all test materials than artificial saliva (except Group CE on the 7th day, Group VSC and FPC on the 1st day) (p<0.05). Conclusion: 3D permanent composite resins generally showed more staining than CAD/CAM milled composite resins. Tea and coffee staining solutions changed the color of the materials compared to artificial saliva. As the storage time increased, more color changes were observed.

Published: September 2024

Chemical mapping of nano-scale and atomic chemistry via spectroscopic electron microscopy has challenged researchers for decades due to the fundamental tradeoff between electron dose, noise, and resolution.
Inelastic spectroscopic signals (electron energy loss (EELS) or energy-dispersive x-ray (X-EDS) spectroscopy) that yield elemental signatures are rare, resulting in long dwell times to produce discernable structure.
This process often destroys the sample and distorts the chemical map during acquisition.Lower dose scans can be taken to combat this issue, but they often do not have enough signal to produce meaningful results.

Fused multi-modal electron microscopy offers nano- and atomic-resolution high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) recovery of material chemistry by merging low-dose elastically scattered high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) signals with the inelastic signals.
The process works best when all chemistries in the material are mapped spectroscopically and combined with a directly interpretable elastic signal.
This article bridges the gap between theory and practice by walking through each step of the fused multi-modal computational pipeline and pointing out best practices when running the code.
By the end of this tutorial, anyone with inelastic and elastic 2D projection data should be able to reproducibly reconstruct chemical maps using fused multi-modal electron microscopy.

Current Exercise Approaches in Elbow Pathologies
Authors: Surmeli Mahmut , Sonmez Mehmet , Yildiz Ramazan
Published: September 2024

Exercise therapy is a vital component in the rehabilitation of elbow joint pathologies, ranging from acute to chronic stages. This process offers numerous benefits, such as enhancing muscle strength, preserving joint health, increasing functionality, and improving overall quality of life. In the initial stages of recovery, exercises aimed at maintaining normal joint range of motion and stretching play a preparatory role in achieving optimal function. These exercises are vital for improving muscle and tendon flexibility, enhancing joint mobility, and preventing joint stiffness and contracture formation.

As weeks progress following traumatic injuries, strengthening programs become central to exercise approaches. These programs aim to improve daily living activities, personal care, and quality of life by enhancing neuromuscular performance. Flexibility programs are also fundamental due to the significance of range of motion in daily activities. The physiological adaptations induced by strength training positively impact various physical abilities, including cardiovascular fitness, balance, range of motion, and speed. Therefore, it is crucial to prescribe strength training appropriately based on individual responses, goals, or necessary adaptations.

Exercise therapy not only aids in muscle strength recovery but also plays a significant role in injury prevention and enhancing functional outcomes. Studies highlight the importance of specific exercises for the elbow, wrist, and hand to prevent excessive joint range and increase muscle activation in the upper extremity.

In conclusion, exercise approaches in the rehabilitation of elbow pathologies should be comprehensive and tailored to the individual’s stage of recovery and specific needs. Early-stage interventions should focus on maintaining joint mobility and preventing stiffness, while later stages should emphasize strengthening, neuromuscular training, and functional exercises. Understanding the roles of various muscle groups and their coordinated actions is vital for designing effective rehabilitation programs aimed at restoring elbow function and preventing future injuries.

Authors: Yakut Ozdemir Hazal , Dundar Bayram
Published: September 2024

The hand and wrist are one of the most complex structures in the human body, with more than twenty joint connections and complex integrated movement segments. Therefore, knowing the anatomy of the hand and wrist well is important for the correct diagnosis of pathologies in this region, the creation of correct rehabilitation programs and the correct interpretation of the results. Pathologies of different severity and course can be seen in the hand and wrist, such as De Quarvin tendinitis, trigger finger, rheumatoid arthritis, tendon injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. When applying therapeutic exercise methods in hand and wrist diseases, the patient’s diagnosis, age, other accompanying diseases, medical condition, pain tolerance, inability to do in daily life and work, and functional status should be evaluated and the rehabilitation program should be personalized in line with the evaluation results. The stage of the disease (acute/subacute/chronic), whether there is an exacerbation, the presence of wound/scar tissue, the patient’s motor control ability, sensory disorders, the patient’s general health status and psychosocial status are other parameters that should be evaluated comprehensively and taken into consideration in treatment.As with other orthopedic problems, therapeutic exercise approaches and manual applications are an important component of the treatment for pathologies seen in the hand and wrist. Current exercise approaches and manual techniques include active/active assistive and passive hand-wrist range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises, tendon gliding, blocking exercises, place and holding exercise, traction, Mulligan mobilization, and massage approaches. The aim of exercise approaches and manual techniques applied to hand and wrist pathologies is to eliminate or prevent symptoms, problems or diseases, to increase hand and wrist functionality, to reduce the risk of injury, and to improve the person’s disease-specific and general health perception. In this section, we will present a comprehensive review of current exercise approaches and manual practices in hand-wrist pathologies and their clinical applications in the literature.

Assistive Technology and Older Adults in Disasters: Implications for Emergency Management
Authors: Akyuz Halil Ibrahim , Avan Cagri
Published: September 2024

Individuals with special needs need diff erent things to sustain their daily lives. It is important for these individuals to use assistive technologies according to their needs. Especially in disaster situations, it is a necessity for these individuals to be prepared to respond to their needs and to sustain their lives. Planned studies should be carried out for individuals with special needs before, during and aft er the disaster and a structure should be created to meet the urgent needs of the individual. In the disaster process, some measures should also be taken for assistive technologies according to the condition of the individual. Assistive technologies required for individuals with visual impairment, on the other hand, cause diffi culties for individuals in disaster processes, especially since physical devices are needed. Th erefore, there is a need to take state-supported measures for their procurement. Beyond physical disabilities, assistive technologies for mental disabilities are not suffi - ciently developed and studies that support the learning process come to the fore. While the primary assistive technologies for individuals with communication diffi culties are tools that will concentrate attention, they are eff ective in raising awareness of the individual before the disaster and teaching the rules. As a result, although there are many tools to facilitate the daily lives of individuals with special needs, their eff ective use in disaster periods will be benefi cial for individuals and their families.

Published: September 2024

Disasters are chaotic environments where the normal order of life is disrupted and people panic. Aft er a disaster occurs, it leaves devastating traces and it can take a long time to get back to normal life. Vulnerable groups are among the groups that disasters leave devastating traces. Vulnerable people include children with special needs who need help and carers. Children with special needs show diff erent characteristics from adults in terms of understanding and reacting to physiological, behavioural, traumatic events emotionally and developmentally. In this respect, meeting the special needs of children with special needs who are at risk and aff ected by disasters during the re-normalisation phase is of great importance. However, it should not be forgotten that in addition to the recovery phase, children with special needs have unique physical, mental, behavioural, developmental, communication, therapeutic and social needs that need to be met during the preparation and response phases of disasters. Because disaster management is a whole in modern management system. People and organisations involved in the care and welfare of children can be prepared to reduce the negative impacts of disasters on children. Damages can be mitigated. These preparations can promote preparedness and resilience for children and families, as well as for communities, and ensure that the needs of children with special needs are not neglected in planning, response and recovery efforts. Therefore, local, regional, national and even international agencies and organisations serving children with special needs should collaborate to ensure the safety, health and well-being of children in disasters.

The Role of Social Media Superspreaders in Online Information Warfare
Authors: Kallioniemi Pekka
Published: September 2024

In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the role of large social media accounts in the spread of disinformation. Initial studies on this subject were carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic. One such study found that 73% of all mis- and disinformation could be traced back to a so-called "Dirty Dozen" referring to 12 influential accounts with large followings. A similar trend appears in the realm of geopolitics, a domain where disinformation and propaganda were primarily disseminated in the past through official and embassy accounts but are now "outsourced" to individual accounts. This study focuses on identifying potential superspreader accounts that have shared pro-Kremlin messages following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In addition to identifying these accounts, the research will also categorize the most successful false narratives during this period in terms of their spread and popularity".

The fashion industry is one of the industries that generates the greatest environmental pollution and unfair working conditions. The general objective of this work was to study the decision-making process of actors and organizational leaders in the fashion industry in order to describe the process of generating sustainable enterprises and the role that incentives from the market, government and institutions have about this problem. In particular, the objectives were: to determine the intrinsic motivation mechanisms or incentives that drive sustainable business models in this industry; characterize consumer perception and describe their priorities when choosing sustainable fashion products; and finally, explore assistance measures and programs from the government and other organizations. With a mixed methodological approach, a field study was carried out that included three data collection instruments: a survey of 321 consumers, and seven in-depth interviews with key referents, including on the one hand three emblematic businessmen and on the other, four leaders of supporting institutions. The results showed that these enterprises were founded by intrinsic motivations of entrepreneurs given by environmental values and close experiences with the communities. Institutions promote ventures by providing technical advice and favoring access to commercial channels. The market for fashion values compliance with sustainable policies and fair employment, and the main sustainable consumption driver was the communication of product specifications.

Published: September 2024

This article presents an analysis of the process of implementing innovation policies in three Brazilian public universities. Interviews were conducted with innovation managers from three universities in the country, identifying how the process developed, what the main challenges were, and the opportunities for the implementation of innovation policies in these institutions. The results indicated that this is a complex and multifaceted process, which involves the integration of different areas and institutional actors. Among the main challenges found are the lack of financial and human resources, the lack of alignment with government policies, and institutional bureaucracy. However, opportunities to strengthen the culture of innovation in these institutions were also identified, such as the creation of incentive mechanisms for innovation, the formation of partnerships with companies and research institutions, and the approximation with society through technology transfer and entrepreneurship. We conclude, therefore, that the implementation of innovation policies in Brazilian public universities is a challenging process, but one that can bring important benefits for the social and economic development of the country. For this, it is necessary to strengthen dialogue and cooperation among the institutional actors involved, as well as the creation of favorable conditions for the promotion of a culture of innovation in these institutions.

This research proposal aims to analyze the "Proyectos de Tecnologías para la Inclusión Social" (PTIS) program, a science and technology policy instrument implemented by the National Program of Social Technologies and Innovation of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MINCYT) in Argentina. The study will begin with a description of the initial conditions that led to the program's creation, and then analyze the management and linkage processes that were necessary to achieve access to and/or production of technologies by actors involved in the social economy.
The research is expected to generate a corpus of information that will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the benefits of applying social innovation strategies. Additionally, it aims to serve as an input for policymakers who wish to include this perspective in their work dynamics. It is essential that institutions assume an active role and contribute to the construction of a citizenry that is committed to solving common problems.

The Industry 4.0 has gained prominence in academic discourse and innovation policies due to its appeal stemming from cost reduction and global momentum. It is grounded in electronic and digital technologies that integrate machinery, software, and personnel for commercial objectives, offering benefits such as traceability and flexibility, alongside challenges like continuous training and technological dependency. Its implementation is paramount for competitiveness, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which encounter specific obstacles and require technological adaptation. Our aim is to describe and analyse levels of implementation maturity of Industry 4.0 in Argentine SMEs, pinpointing obstacles and impacts. Implementation was assessed in companies from Entre Ríos and Santa Fe, employing a comprehensive questionnaire covering aspects like cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and robotics. Data from 15 interviewed companies between 2022 and 2023 were analysed, along with policies and incentives through bibliographic review and secondary data. Challenges encompass economic-financial difficulties and reliance on specialized providers. Recommendations include revising economic support instruments, establishing phased credit programs, and conducting crucial research to determine necessary skills for employees in Industry 4.0 processes and SME digitalization, facilitating workforce updating and retraining. The importance of updating technical education to incorporate relevant competencies for Industry 4.0, such as programming, automation, and data acquisition and analytics, is emphasized.

The main objective of this work is to offer a comprehensive vision of the MSMEs in the province of Córdoba in terms of the degree of digitalization and sustainability, which highlights virtues and/or imbalances, with the purpose of serving as a reference in the adoption of timely measures to enhance its virtues and adjust its weaknesses. For this, a study was carried out on a sample of 577 MSMEs from different sectors of the economy and located in the province of Córdoba. The data was collected through a questionnaire directed at the highest level of the company. The questionnaire was structured in two blocks. In the first, respondents are asked about the general features of their companies, such as the sector of activity, geographical location, number of employees, gender of the manager, family control of the company, growth expectations of employment and sales, and the degree of internationalization. In the second block, information is collected on the degree of development of digitalization (strategies and barriers) and also on the entrepreneur's perception of the application of sustainable development (derived benefits and barriers or obstacles to achieving business sustainability). The data were collected between the months of March to May 2022, which were then analyzed using a descriptive statistical analysis. Among the main findings we find that the main drivers of digitalization are knowledge of the possibilities and advantages of digitalization, the destination of resources and the training and qualification of managers. While the main barriers are insufficient broadband connection, high investment costs and lack of well-qualified personnel. Meanwhile, in terms of sustainability, its main benefits are the improvement of image and reputation, the generation of advantages over the competition and the increase in the degree of customer satisfaction.
La Cadena de Maíz en Entre Ríos: entre el déficit y el subdesarrollo
Authors: Coronel Claudio Fabián
Published: September 2024

En el presente artículo se propone una caracterización de la cadena del maíz en Entre Ríos como una cadena subdesarrollada, la cual se deduce de su comparación a escala nacional e internacional y se estima cuantitativamente el grado de pérdida teórica de valor agregado que representa la elevada inserción internacional del grano en desmedro de la demanda de la industria local, considerando un intervalo temporal que va desde 2019 al 2022 y utilizando como modelo de estimación de la demanda interna de maíz, el esquema desarrollado por el (en su momento) Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca de la Nación Argentina en 2014. Los datos analizados permiten concluir que la Provincia de Entre Ríos se encuentra atrasada no solo internacionalmente, sino que en comparación nacional y con Provincias de la Región Centro en cuanto al desarrollo de la cadena. No obstante, su tradición agroalimentaria sugiere que existen capacidades de desarrollo que pueden ser impulsadas rápidamente con adecuadas políticas públicas y de coordinación para el agregado de valor al maíz en origen, especialmente la conversión del grano en proteína de alto valor y otras más complejas como el uso medicinal del alcohol de maíz y otros derivados que deben ser estudiadas con mayor profundidad.

This study investigates the effects of interpersonal trust among private college lecturers in Tangerang (i.e., trust in colleagues and leaders) on innovative behavior and examines the mediating effect of knowledge sharing on this relationship. A total of 244 private college lecturers in Tangerang participated in this study. The results revealed that trust in coworkers and trust in leaders have positive effects on knowledge sharing activities. Although the effect of trust in colleagues on innovative behavior is not significant, trust in leaders has a significant effect on innovative behavior. The effect of lecturer knowledge sharing on innovative behavior was also found to be significant. In addition, the results show that knowledge sharing has a full mediating effect on the relationship between trust in colleagues and innovative behavior and a partial mediating effect on the relationship between trust in leaders and innovative behavior.
