В статье приводятся результаты изучения влияния генотипа и сезона года на развитие волосяного покрова тёлок красной степной (Iгруппа), симментальской (II группа) и казахской белоголовой (III группа) пород. Установлено преимущество тёлок казахской белоголовой породы по показателям, характеризующим адаптацию животных к воздействию неблагоприятных факторов внешней среды. Так, они превосходили сверстниц Iи II групп по массе волоса с 1 см2 кожи на 6,02 мг (8,12%) и 2,80 мг (3,62%), длине – на 4,60 мг (14,28%) и 1,79 мг (5,11%), густоте – на 270,7 шт. (20,20%) и 158,4 шт. (10,91%). Волосяной покров тёлок III группы отличался лучше выраженной теплозащитной функцией, о чём свидетельствует его структура. Тёлки Iи II групп уступали сверстницам IIIгруппы в зимний сезон года по удельному весу пуха в образце волоса на 6,5 и 3,6%, переходного – на 3,0 и 1,3% соответственно. По удельному весу остевого волоса тёлки III группы уступали молодняку Iи II групп в зимний период на 9,5 и 2,9%. Аналогичные межгрупповые различия отмечались и в летний сезон года. По диаметру отдельных фракций волосяного покрова существенных межгрупповых различий не отмечалось. В то же время отмечена тенденция превосходства по величине изучаемого показателя у тёлок II группы, молодняк IIIгруппы во всех случаях отличался минимальным показателем.

The article presents the results of studying the influence of the genotype and the season of the year on the development of hair coat in heifers of the Red Steppe (group I), Simmental (group II) and Kazakh white-headed (group III) breeds. The advantage of the heifers of the Kazakh white-headed breed in terms of indicators characterizing the adaptation of animals to the influence of adverse environmental factors has been established. So, they surpassed their herdmates of groups I and II in terms of hair weight from 1 cm2 of skin by 6.02 mg (8.12%) and 2.80 mg (3.62%), length – by 4.60 mg (14.28%) and 1.79 mg (5.11%), density – by 270.7 pcs. (20.20%) and 158.4 pcs. (10.91%). The hair coat of heifers of group III was distinguished by a better expressed heat-protective function, as evidenced by its structure. Heifers of groups I and II were inferior to herdmates of group III in the winter season in terms of the specific weight of wool in the hair sample by 6.5 and 3.6%, transitional – by 3.0 and 1.3%, respectively. By the specific weight of the guard hair, the heifers of group III were inferior to young animals of groups I and II in winter by 9.5 and 2.9%. Similar intergroup differences were noted in the summer season. There were no significant intergroup differences in the diameter of individual fractions of the hair coat. At the same time, there was a tendency of superiority in the value of the studied indicator in heifers of group II, young animals of group III in all cases differed in the minimum indicator.

Published: January 2025

Resumen
Introducción: El índice de masa corporal (IMC) es una herramienta bastante efectiva a nivel poblacional. Por lo que, se han validado diversos instrumentos basados en él, como las siluetas corporales y el autorreporte; lo que permite obtener el IMC aún sin las mediciones de peso y estatura. La percepción errónea del IMC puede llevar a comportamientos no saludables, como dietas extremas. Por lo que, la educación sobre la imagen corporal realista y los hábitos saludables son necesarios para prevenir problemas de salud. Objetivo: conocer la asociación de la percepción del índice de masa corporal y los hábitos alimentarios y de actividad física. Métodos: estudio analítico, transversal con una muestra de tipo intencional. Se trabajó con 448 adultos residentes de Toluca, México. Se aplicó el cuestionario autocompletado de hábitos alimentarios y para el autorreporte de IMC se utilizaron: las siluetas corporales y el IMC autorreportado. Resultados: la mayoría de los participantes presentaron sobrepeso según el IMC por siluetas corporales, pero el autorreporte mostró que la mayoría estaba en normopeso y sobrepeso. La mayoría tenían hábitos alimentarios y de actividad física inadecuados. Las diferencias significativas se encontraron principalmente en los hábitos alimentarios y la dimensión de actividad física en relación al IMC por siluetas corporales y al autorreporte. Conclusión: la percepción del IMC proveniente de las siluetas corporales suele diferir con el autorreportado, especialmente en mujeres y personas con IMC elevado.  Los hábitos alimentarios y de actividad física suelen ser inadecuados no solo en adultos.
El Papel de las Mutaciones Genéticas en la Etiología y Severidad de las Cardiopatías Congénitas en Neonatos
Authors: Orozco González Claudia Nelly , Mendoza Angeles Milen M.
Published: January 2025

Las cardiopatías congénitas (CC) son defectos estructurales del corazón que afectan a 5-8 de cada 1,000 recién nacidos, siendo una causa importante de mortalidad infantil. Aunque se desconoce la causa exacta, se reconoce el papel de mutaciones genéticas. La investigación actual busca entender cómo estas mutaciones afectan la severidad de las malformaciones cardiacas en neonatos. Se plantea que mutaciones en genes relacionados con el desarrollo cardiaco aumentan el riesgo y la gravedad de las CC. Se analiza el desarrollo embriológico del corazón y se identifican grupos celulares clave y vías de señalización. La comprensión de estos procesos es esencial para diagnosticar y tratar eficazmente las CC. Además, aproximadamente 400 genes están vinculados a enfermedades cardíacas, lo que influye en la diferenciación celular y las vías de señalización. Este conocimiento tiene el potencial de mejorar la evaluación del riesgo y la atención perioperatoria de los pacientes con CC, abordando complicaciones potenciales como insuficiencia cardíaca, problemas respiratorios y riesgos trombóticos.

Published: January 2025

Антибиотикотерапия началась с открытия А. Флемингом пенициллина – первого антибиотика в истории человечества. Этот этап в практической медицине, да и не только в медицине, начался с высочайшей степени воодушевления, с верой в то, что инфекционная патология скоро будет побеждена. Однако через некоторое время это воодушевление сменил скепсис, связанный с выработкой устойчивости многих микроорганизмов к пенициллину и другим антибиотикам. С этим была связана необходимость постоянного поиска все новых и новых антибиотиков, а введение их в практику привело к формированию большого количества штаммов микроорганизмов, обладающих большим набором патогенетических свойств, в том числе и множественной устойчивости к различным препаратам. С другой стороны, выяснилось, что антибиотики оказывают токсическое воздействие на некоторые функции организма человека. В связи с этим мы решили сделать обзор литературы, касающейся побочных токсических воздействий амфотерицином Б на макроорганизм.

THE INFLUENCE OF MATHEMATICS SELF-EFFICACY AND READING COMPREHENSION PROFICIENCY ON MATHEMATICS PROFICIENCY AMONG GRADE 10 STUDENTS
OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF MANIKI
Authors: Sheena Mae A. Balios  , Jelly Ace S. Basilio
Published: January 2025

The study investigates how mathematics self-efficacy and reading comprehension proficiency affect mathematics proficiency among grade 10 students in private schools of Maniki. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational design was used, with 183 randomly selected students surveyed on the three variables. The results indicated that students had high levels of mathematics self-efficacy, reading comprehension proficiency, and mathematics proficiency. It was found that a significant relationship exists between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics proficiency, while no significant relationship was observed between reading comprehension proficiency and mathematics proficiency. Additionally, the domains of mathematics self-efficacy, including mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and psychological states, were found to significantly influence students' mathematics proficiency. However, the domains of reading comprehension proficiency—literal comprehension, inferential understanding, and creative understanding—did not significantly impact mathematics proficiency. These findings suggest that mathematics self-efficacy plays a significant role in enhancing mathematics proficiency among grade 10 students.

ЗАРУБІЖНИЙ ДОСВІД РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ КРИМІНАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ ЗА ПОРУШЕННЯ НЕДОТОРКАННОСТІ ЖИТЛА
Authors: Роне А. П.
Published: January 2025

У статті проведено дослідження зарубіжного досвіду регулювання кримінальної відповідальності за порушення недоторканності житла, в результаті чого запропоновано внести до ст. 162 Кримінального кодексу України окремі зміни. Передусім, враховуючи підвищену суспільну небезпечність порушення недоторканності житла в співучасті, доцільно розглянути питання про можливість доповнення ст. 162 Кримінального кодексу України такою ознакою кваліфікованого складу кримінального правопорушення, як його вчинення за попередньою змовою групою осіб. На основі вивчення зарубіжного досвіду, практики Європейського суду з прав людини та національних судів запропоновано визначити житло у кримінально-правовому розумінні як приміщення, у якому особа постійно або тимчасово проживає, незалежно від приналежності такого приміщення до житлового фонду, цільового призначення приміщення, архітектурної форми. Стаття 162 КК України за своїм змістом є подібною до статей кримінальних законів зарубіжних держав, які передбачають відповідальність за порушення недоторканності житла. Незважаючи на те, що такі прояви об’єктивної сторони кримінального правопорушення, передбаченого ст. 162 КК України, як проведення незаконного огляду та обшуку, є невластивими кримінальним законам більшості зарубіжних країн, їхнє збереження в національному законодавстві є доцільним з огляду на потребу в додаткових гарантіях дотримання права особи на недоторканність житла як службовими особами під час проведення процесуальних дій, так і приватними особами.

Ethnographic Explorations of an Indian Community in the Southernmost Province of Italy
Authors: Singh Daman
Published: January 2025

Modern conventional agriculture is based on the overexploitation of natural resources, intensive monocultures, massive use of chemical fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms, leading to the de-seasonalization of production. This system of exploitation of natural resources, in Italy is accompanied by the exploitation of labour relying on foreign workers coming from various regions around the world. This article describes the labor integration in this sector of an Indian Sikh community located in the southernmost province of Italy, Ragusa. The objective is to illustrate the fragile working conditions and ethnicization processes in place. Predominantly employed in agriculture and particularly in the livestock sector, the Indian community is composed by individuals from the Punjab state, primarily of Sikh faith. The article shows the recruitment process of workers in the country of origin, the consequences of an ethnicization of the sector and the dynamics of social and economic marginalisation of the Indian population in the province. This research work is part of a doctoral programme and presents the first results of ethnographic exploration and a literature review.

The Strategic Narrative of the US Digital Diplomacy Against China During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ababakr Amer Mohammed
Published: January 2025

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the diplomatic relations of the states were challenged. In this situation, the US government has sought to use digital diplomacy against China to build strategic narratives and to express its identity and images in the international system. The current study sought to answer the following questions: How does the US State Department articulate its goals and policies in the international system against China by constructing strategic narratives in the wake of the global pandemic crisis? What are the important reasons for this US government agency's producing and spreading these narratives? The study argues that the increasing popularity of social media in the world during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the importance of digital diplomacy as a US foreign policy tool for producing strategic narratives in comparison with China. Using the method of qualitative content analysis, the hidden meanings of the content of the three social media platforms of Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube of the US State Department are shown. It highlights two strategic narratives that can be named: the right behavior of the United States in foreign and domestic policy and the wrong behavior of China in foreign and domestic policy. In the strategic narrative of America's correct behavior in foreign and domestic policy, two genres were shown 'the saviors of the world in the COVID-19 pandemic, confronting China's misguided policies as a security threat'. At the same time, in the strategic narrative of China's misbehavior in foreign and domestic policy, two other genres were identified: 'the opaque and irresponsible government towards the COVID-19 pandemic, the authoritarian inside, and the aggressive outside'.

Published: January 2025

Purpose: The study examines the role of community education skill acquisition programmes in reducing unemployment among youths in Cross River State. Design/Methodology/Approach: A survey consisting of 60 items was developed, validated, and administered to 500 unemployed youths in Cross River State. The survey aimed to gather their perception towards the effectiveness of community education skill acquisition programmes on unemployment reduction.   Findings: The results indicate the moderate impact of these programmes, indicating a moderate level of effectiveness. The mean score for males is higher than the mean score for females, indicating that male respondents perceive the programmes to have a greater impact on unemployment reduction compared to their female counterparts. Conclusion: While the programmes have shown some positive outcomes, the study also reveals several challenges and constraints faced by the programme participants, including accessibility issues, skill-job mismatch, inadequate support and limited stakeholder engagement. Research Limitations and Implications: The reliance on self-reported data and limited generalizability to other contexts suggests the need for further research to explore the effectiveness of community education skill acquisition programmes in different settings for identifying best practices in implementation. Practical Implications: Community education skill acquisition programmes should be designed and implemented in a way that addresses the specific needs of unemployed youths and involves stakeholders in the process to increase programme effectiveness. Contributions to Literature: Community education skill acquisition programmes can only play a more significant role in reducing unemployment and promoting sustainable employment opportunities for youths if and when constraints are addressed strengthened with stakeholder engagement.

Authors: Rasmiyya Mammadova, Aghayeva Tarana Rasmiyya Mammadova, Aghayeva Tarana , Zahida Alieva Zahida Alieva
Published: January 2025

The authors have investigated the possibility of making functional drinks by adding natural plant-based additives to black tea. They conducted an experiment on four different tea samples, by evaluating changes in their quality and properties, such as tannin, caffeine, vitamin C and P, and antioxidant activity. As a functional additive, they were used hibiscus and rosehip powders that derived from respective plants. The study shows that hibiscus powder increased antioxidant activ-ity significantly, 1.68 times higher than rosehip. But rosehip increased vitamin C more than hibis-cus, 275 mg% and 128 mg% respectively. Also, the total flavonoid content in hibiscus supplement is 410 mg of catechins per 100 g: which is 3.3 times higher than rosehip. Vigorous stirring method was used to mix the tea with herbal supplements. Two samples of "Azerçay" tea were mixed with rosehip additives, while two samples of "Berga" tea were mixed with hibiscus additives. When rosehip was added, the vitamin C content in the test sample was increased from 63% to 154 mg%, while the addition of hibiscus increased it from 86% to 104 mg. With the addition of the rosehip, the vitamin P content increased 2.25 times and 2.17 times with the addition of hibiscus.

Exploring the Interplay of HIF-1α Expression and its Correlation with Selected Biomarkers in Acute Kidney Injury Patients
Authors: Fiaz Khadijah , Khalid Arsalan , Ullah Asad , Arshad Dr Adnan
Published: January 2025

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a complex and heterogeneous clinical syndrome, characterized by the sudden decline in renal function, and has greatly contributed to worldwide mortality and morbidity. Its incidence is 68.55% in Pakistan and is still on the rise. The study intended to the analysis of gene expression of HIF-1α and correlate it with the expression of a chosen kidney injury biomarker panel comprising of NGAL, KIM-1 and L-FABP in AKI patients.
Materials and methods: Out of blood samples of 50 patients enrolled with AKI in our study, 14 patients with superimposition of acute-on-chronic kidney injury (males n=5; females n=9) were selected along with blood samples of 4 healthy controls (males n=2; females n=2). Their RNA was isolated and mRNA gene expression was quantified by RT-PCR.
Results: Analysis showed that HIF-1α expression significantly correlated positively with NGAL (r=0.8829, p=<0.0001) and KIM-1 (r=0.9199, p=<0.0001) mRNA gene fold expression in all male and female AKI on CKD patients, whereas, only the expression of L-FABP in males (r=0.9535, p=0.012) positively correlated with HIF-1α and there was no correlation of it in females (r=0.4067, p=0.2774). 
Conclusion: We concluded that a positive correlation of all these kidney injury biomarkers in all patients and L-FABP in males suggested that comorbidities such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sepsis and liver disease produce hypoxic cellular conditions in the sensitive medulla of the kidney, damaging it easily, and can worsen renal function unless treated properly.

Continuous goal representations: Distance in representational space affects goal switching
Authors: Senftleben Ulrike , Frisch Simon , Dshemuchadse Maja , Scherbaum Stefan , Surrey Caroline
Published: January 2025

Theorists across all fields of psychology consider goals crucial for human action control. Still, the question of how precisely goals are represented in the cognitive system is rarely addressed. Here, we explore the idea that goals are represented as distributed patterns of activation that coexist within continuous mental spaces. In doing so, we discuss and extend popular models of cognitive control and goal-directed behavior, which implicitly convey an image of goals as discrete representational units. To differentiate empirically between discrete and continuous formats of goal representation, we employed a set-shifting paradigm in which participants switched between color goals that varied systematically in their distance in representational space. Across three experiments, we found that previous goals biased behavior during goal switches and that the extent of this bias decreased gradually with the previous goal’s distance in color space from color information in the current trial. These graded effects of goal distance on performance are difficult to reconcile with the assumption that goals are discrete representational entities. Instead, they suggest that goals are represented as distributed, partly overlapping patterns of activation within continuous mental spaces. Moreover, the monotonous effects of distance in representational space on performance observed across all conditions in all experiments imply that the spreading of goal activation in representational space follows a monotonous (e.g., bell-shaped) distribution and not a nonmonotonous (e.g., Mexican-hat shaped) one. Our findings ask for a stronger consideration of the continuity of goal representations in models and investigations of goal-directed behavior.

Examining challenges and opportunities for effective democratic management practices in university classrooms
Authors: Omodan Taiwo Christianah , Makhasane Sekitla Daniel , Tsotetsi Cias Thapelo
Published: January 2025

The study examines the challenges and opportunities in embedding democratic management practices in university classrooms. Grounded in the theoretical framework of Critical Pedagogy, as advocated by Paulo Freire, and utilising a transformative paradigm within a participatory research design, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 participants, including 10 student teachers and 5 lecturers from a selected university in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the data. The findings reveal significant challenges to the adoption of democratic practices, such as entrenched traditional teaching methods and a lack of institutional support and resources. However, the study also highlights the transformative potential of democratic practices in fostering critical thinking, personal growth, and a more inclusive educational environment. In conclusion, the study emphasises the need to reassess and revamp educational policies and practices to support the implementation of democratic principles in classroom management. It calls for a comprehensive approach that includes professional development for lecturers, curriculum redesign, and the provision of sufficient resources to overcome the identified challenges and leverage the opportunities for creating a more engaging, inclusive, and empowering learning experience for all students.
Talentmenedzsment jelenléte a hierarchikus struktúrájú szervezetek mindennapjaiban egy empirikus vizsgálat eredményei alapján
Authors: Balogh Mónika
Published: January 2025

Aim: The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness of talent management as an important segment of human resource management, which is not untouched by the everyday life of organisations with hierarchical structures. Dealing with talent and paying close attention to it is not only important for the talent, it should also be important for the employer.
Methodology. The questionnaire was completed voluntarily, and the data was collected anonymously. The confirmation or rejection of the hypotheses formulated in relation to the research objective was typically examined along the lines of the responses to single or multiple-choice questions. After aggregation of the results obtained on a computer, the data were evaluated and analysed by means of statistical calculations.
Findings: The empirical survey results show an almost equal proportion of respondents who know the term talent management 55% and those who have not heard of it 45%. Among those who have heard of the term, 31% do not know the exact meaning of the word, only 24% of the sample know both the term and its content. Around 14% of respondents are aware that talent management exists within their organisation, with 18% clearly stating that there is no such development direction in their current workplace. 67% of respondents were not aware of talent management in their own workplace. More than half of the sample, 51%, believe that talent management is important and 37% consider this segment of human resources very important. 12% think that it is not important whether or not outstanding employees are managed within the organisation.
Value: The most important value of the study is the real employee feedback received during the empirical research and the insight into how talent management is implemented in the workplace of the survey participants. Talented employees are a complex challenge for human resource management. Following their often outstanding performance in job interviews, the real challenge for employers is to retain this talent.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the experiences and procedures related to first aid provided by law enforcement services.
Methodology: A quantitative survey was conducted among customs officers of the National Tax and Customs Administration between April and August 2023. The research involved semi-structured interviews with ten customs officers. The majority of the interviewees were male (80.0%). The average age of the study sample was 40.5 years (SD = 6.59; CI 95% 36.2 – 45.1), while the average number of years in service was 13.3 years (SD = 6.92; CI 95% 8.6 – 17.9).
Findings: According to the results of the research, first aid knowledge and skills for law enforcement officers are quite often needed in practice. Customs officers most often provide first aid in the event of accidents, trauma or acute nausea. Lack of first-aid training mobilises negative emotions in the person taking action: feelings of insecurity, fear, helplessness. Negative feelings make the first aid less effective.
Value: This is the first study that has used qualitative methods to examine first aid practice that provided by customs officers.
Factors of visual organization effective on the protection of vernacular landscapes in the foothill villages

As the cultural heritage of a country, the texture of vernacular villages is the main factor that forms the vernacular landscape. These textures provide visual values that play a determinant role in presence and residence continuity in rural areas. However, many vernacular landscapes of foothill villages in Iran have become problematic due to interferences and a lack of proper management mechanisms. It is essential to formulate a theoretical framework for parameters affecting the vernacular landscape protection to handle the development process and preserve this precious heritage. This is an exploratory study in terms of nature and is descriptive-survey research in terms of data collecting method. The statistical population comprises 31 experts in architectural and rural fields who were interviewed through a non-random network method. The techniques used in this study include content analysis, Delphi, and correlation, and the collected data are analyzed using SPSS software through Q factor analysis, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. The results show that 9 factors can be extracted based on the priorities and mental patterns of the experts for visual organization: adaptability, coordination and orderliness, visibility, comfort, permeability, compatibility, legibility, attractiveness, and landscape. Among the mentioned factors, the higher explained variance percentage (14.097%) belongs to adaptability. According to the obtained results, 99.4% of variations in the vernacular landscape have been explained by these 9 factors among which, visual attractiveness and visibility have the highest effect on vernacular landscape protection in foothill villages with impact coefficients of 0.318 and 0.279, respectively at the significance level of 99%.
The Red Supergiant Progenitor Luminosity Problem
Authors: Beasor Emma R. , Smith Nathan , Jencson Jacob E.
Published: January 2025

Analysis of pre-explosion imaging has confirmed red supergiants (RSGs) as the progenitors to Type II-P supernovae (SNe). However, extracting an RSG's luminosity requires assumptions regarding the star’s temperature or spectral type and the corresponding bolometric correction, circumstellar extinction, and possible variability. The robustness of these assumptions is difficult to test since we cannot go back in time and obtain additional pre-explosion imaging. Here, we perform a simple test using the RSGs in M31, which have been well observed from optical to mid-IR. We ask the following: By treating each star as if we only had single-band photometry and making assumptions typically used in SN progenitor studies, what bolometric luminosity would we infer for each star? How close is this to the bolometric luminosity for that same star inferred from the full optical-to-IR spectral energy distribution (SED)? We find common assumptions adopted in progenitor studies systematically underestimate the bolometric luminosity by a factor of 2, typically leading to inferred progenitor masses that are systematically too low. Additionally, we find a much larger spread in luminosity derived from single-filter photometry compared to SED-derived luminosities, indicating uncertainties in progenitor luminosities are also underestimated. When these corrections and larger uncertainties are included in the analysis, even the most luminous known RSGs are not ruled out at the 3σ level, indicating there is currently no statistically significant evidence that the most luminous RSGs are missing from the observed sample of II-P progenitors. The proposed correction also alleviates the problem of having progenitors with masses below the expected lower-mass bound for core collapse.
