Idealistic Philosophy ('I') as Thing-in-itself as Spaceship and Timelessness
Authors: Fransisko Yakub , Melan  , Sirnawati  , Yappo Yohanes , Rosen Imelda , Mariani Evi , Munte Alfonso
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is merely to examine the philosophy of idealism that seems to be self-oriented (thing-in-itself in/or I) or as if narcissistic anthropocentric and the source of the problem of evil is evil as the logical consequence as the stigma, but when it unfolds in education, whether it be Christian education or education management, it itself then becomes signified, interpreted and signaled. Qualitative research with data search techniques through secondary sources presents various philosophical perspectives as an overview while talking about the philosophy of idealism from Emmanuel Kant, Cartesian, Martin Heidegger, and Quentin Meillassoux through various journals related to researchers' searches. Results show that the philosophy of idealism that departs from the self (thinking, chatting and crossing) becomes spatial constructs in education, including Christian religious education or in researchers' discipline, namely Christian education management.

A Study of the tax balance of electronic cigarettes
Authors:   KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW, Lee Wooyong , Suh Junghwa
Published: November 2023

As liquid e-cigarettes were distributed and sold in Korea, the definition and taxation basis for e-cigarettes were newly established in regulations related to tax levies such as the Local Tax Act related to tobacco taxation, and the law was revised again to impose tax levies at 89% of general cigarettes as cigarette-type e-cigarettes emerged. However, since e-cigarettes are taxed at a lower level than general cigarettes without a clear basis, it is necessary to discuss this. As can be seen in the previous study (Darshak Sanghavi, 2014), in fact, in order to reduce the smoking rate, it may be more effective to prevent the first smoking of adolescents rather than inducing smokers to quit smoking. Therefore, relatively less tax charges should not be imposed on e-cigarettes, giving the effect of encouraging smoking of e-cigarettes.
In terms of taxation equity with general cigarettes and smoking cessation policies, it is necessary to revise part of the Local Tax Act so that e-cigarettes can be taxed at the same level as general cigarettes, and through the revision of the Individual Consumption Tax Act and the National Health Promotion Act, the level of tax charges for general cigarettes and e-cigarettes must be the same. Currently, e-cigarettes are taxed lower to encourage smoking of e-cigarettes.This study attempted to summarize the problem of taxation equity of e-cigarettes, which has been discussed continuously, and to suggest a solution to this. It is hoped that the results of this study will further rationalize the taxation system of tobacco-related tax charges in Korea and contribute a little to the establishment of taxation policies that both smokers and non-smokers can agree on.
Study on the Improvement of Mandatory Tax Appeal System
Authors:   KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW, Hwang In Gyu , Jung Sun Kyun
Published: November 2023

To protect the rights and interests of taxpayers, it is crucial to have a constitutional, legal, and economical tax appeal system in place. The Constitution of Korea grants citizens the right to request a trial, and in the case of an administrative trial, it stipulates that judicial procedures shall be applied mutatis mutandis. However, the current mandatory tax pretrial procedure may pose challenges to this right as it falls under administrative adjudication, necessitating the application of judicial procedures mutatis mutandis.
This study is based on the decision of the Constitutional Court of the local tax appeal procedure, which was previously ruled unconstitutional and changed to an arbitrary pre-trial procedure, and the general administrative appeal system, which is operated as a voluntary pre-trial procedure through law amendments. It reviewed whether the current necessary pretrial procedures infringe upon the right of access to courts or whether judicial procedures are not applied mutatis mutandis.
The problems identified with the current tax pre-examination procedure are as follows: 1) Judicial procedures were not sufficiently applied to the Board of Audit and Inspection's request for examination. 2) The National Tax Service’s request for examination has fatal problems with independence and fairness. 3) The request for adjudgment by the Tax Tribunal also has problems in detail.
In this paper, the following improvement measures were proposed. 1) Request for examination by the Board of Audit and Inspection should be abolished. 2) The National Tax Service focuses on voluntary procedures. 3) It is also desirable to convert request for adjudgment by the Tax Tribunal to a voluntary procedure.
This study contributed to the protection of constitutional rights by suggesting ways to guarantee taxpayers' right of access to courts.

Authors: Padilla Sánchez Ariana Julissa , Padilla Sánchez Jesús Francisco
Published: November 2023

Introducción. La estenosis hipertrófica del píloro (EHP) es la causa más común de intervención quirúrgica en los primeros 6 meses de vida. Los factores asociados a la patogénesis son motivo de discusión. El uso de macrólidos se ha documentado como un posible factor de riesgo, aunque la evidencia es contradictoria. Objetivo. Proporcionar un análisis del riesgo de EHP posterior a la exposición a los macrólidos en el período prenatal o posnatal a través de la lactancia o por administración directa al neonato. Material y métodos. Se realizó una revisión en PubMed, Google escolar, UpToDate, Elsevier y SciELO. Se incluyeron 11 artículos para su análisis. Resultados. 4 de los estudios no encontraron una relación entre la EHP y el uso de macrólidos durante el embarazo, solo 1 reportó una asociación modesta. Para la evaluación del riesgo en la lactancia 2 de los 3 estudios incluidos no encontraron una relación. De las 7 publicaciones recopiladas para la evaluación del riesgo por exposición posnatal directa, 4 hallaron un incremento significativo del riesgo. Conclusiones. No se pudo establecer una relación entre la EHP y los macrólidos por exposición materna o a través de la lactancia, aunque sí para el contacto posnatal directo.

‘Biblical Images in the Traditional Culture of the Orthodox Peoples of Russia’: Exhibition of the Russian Museum of Ethnography for the 520th Anniversary The Gennady Bible (January — March 2021)
Authors:   The Russian Museum of Ethnography, Ganina Lubov G. , Madlevskaya Elena L. ,   The Russian Museum of Ethnography, Ostrovskii Aleksandr B. ,   The Russian Museum of Ethnography
Published: November 2023

The paper reveals the intention and its implementing through a museum exhibition. Based on thematically selected monuments of traditional and everyday culture, the exhibition touches on events, images of Christian historical memory. First of all, it is Annunciation, Christmas, Crucifixion and Resurrection, as well as a number of Old Testament stories — the Creation of the World, Noah's Ark, the Judgment of Solomon. The various thematic sections of the exhibition depict such significant images as the paradise tree of life, the lion, the archangels, as well as fish — the early Christian symbol of Jesus Christ, grapes (the symbol of the Church of Christ). The presented groups of objects are diverse in their place in folk life: ritual paraphernalia, nativity scene, house carvings, interior decoration items— ceramic products (plates, tiles), wooden painted utensils, woven and embroidered towels, decorative bone products, jewelry of the Eastern Slavs and Finno-Ugric peoples. The selecting of exhibits took into account that the ornamentation of objects of traditional and everyday culture had its source not always directly from the plots set forth in biblical texts, but also their folklore processing in the form of legends, beliefs; a number of sections display apocryphal Christian texts that were widespread among the people. The exhibition gave an idea of the integration of a number of key biblical subjects and images, especially the New Testament, into the worldview of Orthodox peoples. The fixation of certain images for specific categories of objects that had a specific purpose in everyday life created a single visible fabric of national Orthodoxy.
Ararat as the Main Pattern of the Armenian Text in Russian Poetry
Authors:   Moscow City University, Shafranskaya Eleonora F. , Keshfidinov Shevket R. ,   Moscow City University
Published: November 2023

The paper explores the current direction of modern literary criticism — local texts, in particular — the Armenian text in Russian poetry. The purpose of the presented study is to determine the range of associative images that arise in the mind of a modern person around the lexical token “Armenia”. The authors conducted a survey of respondents in one of the social networks. One hundred and ten responses (mostly representatives of the academic, intellectual environment, with a reader's background) became the basis for statistical analysis. The most common answer came to be the word “Ararat”. In the verbal culture Ararat has become an image and pattern of the Armenian text. The authors analyzed semantic and functional levels of this image basing on the poems by Russian poets of the 20–21 centuries (in alphabetical order): M. Amelin, P. Antokolsky, V. Bryusov, Y. Veselovsky, A. Gaspari, A. Gitovich, E. Yevtushenko, V. Zvyagintseva, R. Ivnev, V. Inber, G. Kubatyan, I. Lisnyanskaya, O. Mandelstam, M. Matusovsky, B. Slutsky and B. Chichebabin. In the present paper the works on fixing the semantic universe of experimental by researchers V. Nalimov and Zh. Drogalina became the basis for constructing methodological analytics, as well as G. Garipova's research on meta-consciousness reflected in the literary text. Research methods included generalization and systematization of the obtained data, quantitative method, mythopoetic method, philological analysis of the text. As a result, the authors of the article talk about the semantic field of the Armenian text, in which the Ararat acts as the paramount pattern — in the individual and general cultural picture of the world. The material of the study may serve as an algorithm for working with other patterns of the Armenian text, information about which is present in the statistical calculations.
Sergei Yesenin`s Poetic Intonation (By the Example of the Poem Cycle ‘Persian Motifs’ and the Poem ‘My Way’
Authors:   State Institute of Russian Language, Savchenko Tatiana K.
Published: November 2023

The paper looks into the specificities of poetic intonation in Sergey Yesenin’s poems. Yesenin’s making as a poet took place in the Silver Age of Russian literature, which explains a syncretism of arts in his work. This concerns primarily a synthesis of poetry and music. The study focuses on poems from the “Persian motifs” cycle and a “short poem” “My Way” (“Moy put”). In songlike poems an intonational component, being the dominant one, finds its realization in the poem’s syntax. The analysis of the poems’ melody allows us to detect numerous chorus variations, which order the verses and underline their melodic cohesion. Melodic harmony is visible on the semantic as well as on the intonation and syntactic levels, including the composition, while alliterations and assonances account for the harmony of sound instrumentation of the poems. The paper also studies facture, an important concept which closely concerns the intonational component. The facture character of Yesenin’s poems is made up of the specificities of the metrics and rhythm, compositional-stylistic and rhythmic-intonational devices, pauses, stresses, author’s punctuation, etc.
The Garden of Eden — the Estate Garden — the Dacha Garden in the Russian Literary Tradition
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Skorokhodov Maxim V.
Published: November 2023

The paper deals with the evolution in Russian poetry of the 20th and early 21st centuries of motif complexes associated with the garden. The Garden of Eden acts as the prototype of the garden in Russian poetry. In poetical texts under study special attention is paid to gardeners and orchardists who follow in the footsteps of the Creator of the Garden of Eden. Mythologized images dating back to Anton Chekhov's play “The Cherry Orchard” (1903) and Alexander Blok's poem “The Nightingale Garden” (1915) are important for the literary tradition. The pleasure of nature's melodies, dreams of love, lyrical meditations, and philosophical reflections are all harmoniously connected with the inner space of the garden. The garden is connected by a gate, a gate or a door with the surrounding world, which is often hostile to its protagonists. The paper also dwells upon the works by Sergei Gorodetsky, Alexander Prokofyev, Bella Akhmadulina, Alexander Kushner and others. The lyrical hero of Gorodetsky's poem “My Garden” (1926) constructs his own poetic garden in reference to contemporary poets close to him. Prokofiev, in his poem “A Day Equal to a Millennium, Heavy Arms Spread...” (1931) writes of the death of both the manor house and the Nightingale`s garden inseparable from it. The Blokian tradition is resumed in Kushner's work. Akhmadulina's work is strongly influenced by her own experience of dacha life in Tarusa, which became a home for writers and artists in the 1950s and 1970s.
On Some Processes in Forming the Lexical Fund of the First Literary Language of the Slavs: Multi-word Nominations, Phraseological Calques, Phraseologisms
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Efimova Valeriya S.
Published: November 2023

Old Church Slavonic language emerged in a narrow elite circle of bookmen. It is a literary language of the medieval type, and this fact in many respects determines the peculiarities of its lexical inventory. The lexical fund of the language consists not only of words but also of multi-word names, which are lexical units-designations. The method of nomination by multi-word names was not alien to the Slavic folk speech of the time, however, most of the Old Church Slavonic multi-word names were created by Slavic bookmen themselves in the translation process (mainly from Byzantine Greek). The appearance of quite a large number of phraseological calques with multi-word names in the Old Church Slavonic lexicon is due to the need of nominating concepts related to the adoption of Christianity and “medieval encyclopedism”. The repeated use by bookmen of phraseological calque in different translated works led to the phraseologization of this phraseological calque. The author assumes that the main and defining property of phraseologisms is the possibility of extracting them entirely by a native speaker from his memory (in the case of the Old Church Slavonic language, mainly by a bookman). Thus, Old Church Slavonic phraseologisms are the results of processes that could take place in the language both over the centuries and in the period of the first Slavic translations but from a synchronous point of view, these results are already built into the lexical system, ready for use by a bookman. This is the fundamental difference between “phraseological calque” and “phraseologism”.
Poetry of Fact in the Tale and Story… How Did God Get Rid of Evil and Fierce Heretic Grishka Otrepev from the manuscript compilation of T. F. Bolshakov Collection
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tufanova Olga A.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the fragment Tale and Story… How Did God Get Rid of Evil and Fierce Heretic Grishka Otrepev from the manuscript narrative compilation of T. F. Bolshakov collection. The widespread edition of the monument was already known to N. M. Karamzin and published in Readings in the Imperial Society of Russian History and Antiquities, a brief edition, allegedly authored by clerk Vasily Sukov, published in the 13th volume of Russian Historical Library. In the handwritten collection, the text under study is an unfinished fragment and covers the events from 1584 to 1603. The main attention is paid to the deeds of Boris Godunov. The specificity of presentation of historical material in the Tale ... testifies to the author’s inclination towards the style of chronicle weather records. The absence of transcendental explanations of the causes of what is happening in the world of people, laconism in the presentation of events, documentary protocol, minimal use of figurative and expressive means indicate that the author deliberately abandoned the artistic techniques traditional for Russian medieval literature, putting the poetry of fact at the head. Many contemporaries of the events of Time of Troubles, declaring the principle of plausibility, sought to fit contemporary events into the context of world history in traditional literary ways. In the text, we are dealing with other principles for creating a historical narrative, when the facts speak for itselves, and its selection (in the absence of commentary) indirectly indicates the author’s assessment of an event or period in the country’s history. Perhaps the non-standard presentation of historical events and persons was one of the reasons why the text was not completed in the collection under consideration.
Olga Bergholz in the Literary Field: Path to the Legitimation of Status
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Prozorova Natalia A.
Published: November 2023

The study examines the position of O. F. Bergholz in the literary field of the 1930s and the struggle for legitimization of the status of the Leningrad poet in the early 1940s. The purpose of the paper is to determine the place of the poetess in the literary process of the 1930s and to identify the factors (dispositions) that contributed to her successful creative realization during wartime. In the 1930s, despite the «consecration» of M. Gorky, of Bergholz's first books, she became an object of attacks and repression: she was in a situation of alienation from the writer's environment due to the “Averbach case”, and spent six-month in prison isolation following trumped-up charges of counterrevolutionary activity. It was not that Bergholz fought for a strong position in literary field, but for the mere survival in it. After the repressions and prison, the theme of human suffering came into focus of the poetess's attention; she came to be inclined to view the blockade hardships of Leningrad residents. Bergholz's habitus, her author's strategy aimed at “helping people mentally”, correlated with the tasks of wartime. The reader's expectations for support not by the “poetry of conditional formulas”, but by a simple and “relieving” word coincided with Bergholz's aesthetics. The blockade texts moved her from the periphery of the literary field to its forefront. The poetess expressed the joint traumatic experience in a form of “letters” and “conversations” with a lively, personal intonation; let the Leningrad theme manifested in a new style (“barely poems”); opened readers` eyes on “themselves”; she conveyed the existential experience of a person on the verge of death and saw the heroism of the Leningraders as a psychological issue (how to escape “dehumanizing”). These factors allowed her to achieve the legitimate status of the besieged Leningrad`s poetess.
Traditions of Classicism in the Wooden Architecture of Historical Cities (by the Example of Tyumen)
Authors:   Tomsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Sitnikova Elena V. , Khramtsov Aleksandr B. ,   Tyumen Industrial University
Published: November 2023

The paper addresses an urgent issue, the preservation of the wooden architecture of historical cities, and dwells in particular, on an All-Russian phenomenon — wooden buildings in the classicist style. In the construction of historical cities of Russia and Siberia in the nineteenth century. mandatory construction on “exemplary” projects led to the widespread spread of classical wooden architecture. Although the construction of Tyumen in the second half of the nineteenth century was no exception, as the other cities of the country, it had unique features. A comprehensive scientific analysis of wooden buildings in the classicist style on the territory of the city of Tyumen obtained following results: objects in this style were identified with their systematization according to spatial planning and architectural and artistic characteristics; characteristic features determined. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the systematization of the types of classical wooden buildings in Siberian cities (through the example of Tyumen) on the basis of bibliographic, archival and field studies. The architectural analysis of the objects allowed for making conclusions about the value of wooden classical houses, the need for their fixation (making sketches, photo fixation, dimensional drawings), further study and preservation. The theoretical and practical significance of the paper lies in the collected, analyzed and systematized material on the wooden architecture of the historical Siberian city, which can be used in the preparation for the lectures on the history of architecture of Siberia, promotion of historical and architectural heritage, in the implementation of projects to preserve the wooden architecture of cities and in other areas.
The Image of a ‘Tree-cow’ in Slavic Folk Culture
Authors:   Stavropol State Pedagogical Institute, Sinchuk Svetlana D.
Published: November 2023

The paper discusses the hypothesis that there was once a figurative-semantic identification of a cow / bull and a tree in the Slavic folk culture. The analysis of such identification is carried out taking into account the peculiarities of the pagan worldview. Images of horned animals are rarely found in Slavic decorative and applied art, since horns have acquired a negative meaning in the context of the Christian religion. Therefore, traces of such archaic views should be sought using appropriate data from folklore, linguistics, and ethnography. Also, in the process of searching, it is necessary to go beyond the Slavic world and turn to the traditional cultures of the peoples neighboring the Slavs in the north and northeast; since their Christianization was carried out at a much later time, the remnants of their pagan cults have come down to us in greater safety. The origin of the figurative-semantic connection between the concepts of “cow / bull” and “tree” is explained by the fact that these animals, like the world tree, acted once as cosmological symbols. This explains the interchangeability of their images, observed in folklore and in ritual practice, as well as the genesis of a number of homonyms and words of the same root, existing in the Russian dialect vocabulary, united by the corresponding theme.

Published: November 2023

Quercetin, like triterpenoids, decreases blood glucose levels. Quercetin has several limitations including low solubility, low percutaneous permeability, and low bioavailability. The formulation of quercetin preparations in a Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC) system is one solution to increase its solubility. The quercetin NLC system was successfully formulated by the high shear homogenization method at a speed of 6000 rpm. The solid lipid glyceryl monostearate and  sunflower oil play important roles in the formation of NLC. The physicochemical characteristics examined in this study included the particle size, dispersion, viscosity, pH, and entrapment efficiency. The particle size of NLC quercetin ranges from 22.98 ± 0.008 nm to 41.04 ± 0.082 nm, with p-values < 0.05. The dispersion power of quercetin NLC ranges from 5.12 ± 0.11 cm to 7.01 ± 0.28 cm, p values < 0.05. The resulting pH range is 7.3 ± 0.01 to 7.4 ± 0.01, and the resulting viscosity is 223.7 ± 9.8 cps to 492.0 ± 0.0 cps. Entrapment efficiency range of (62.20 ± 0.245)% to (86.17 ± 0.287)% ( p < 0.05). The ratio of solid lipid concentration to liquid lipid concentration in NLC quercetin has a significant effect on particle size, dispersion, and entrapment efficiency.

Este trabalho dialoga sobre o trabalho do psicopedagogo na elaboração do diagnóstico, que é feito com estudantes com deficiência visual total ou baixa visão no processo de alfabetização. Objetivou-se discorrer sobre as dificuldades que os alunos Dvs têm no processo de alfabetização, e como elas podem ser trabalhadas por meio do diagnóstico e auxílio de um psicopedagogo dentro da escola pública. A atuação desse profissional dentro da Instituição supracitada é desafiadora, por diversos motivos, entre eles estão: a falta de laudo médico, o grande e diversificado grupo de estudantes com deficiência, com dificuldades de aprendizagem ou as duas coisas simultaneamente. A pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem crítico-dialética e de tipo exploratória, teve como instrumento uma análise teórica do objeto. Todo recurso pedagógico, tempo, metodologia, avaliação, auxílio, material didático, estratégias metodológicas que o educando com deficiência visual possa ter dentro do seu processo educacional, contribui e possibilita para que ele possa construir uma formação significativa. Isso implica na configuração de condições igualitárias e aprendizagem entre os diferentes. Assim como o professor da sala regular, o psicopedagogo desempenha um trabalho muito importante no desenvolvimento sociocognitivo dos estudantes com deficiência visual. O processo de alfabetização do estudante com deficiência visual precisa conter o sistema braile. Essa é a ferramenta que vai possibilitar o entendimento da lógica da escrita, a reflexão sobre como se relaciona a construção do conhecimento e a análise do contexto sociohistórico que o estudante vive e ajuda a produzir. Durante as atividades do diagnóstico o psicopedagogo precisa saber respeitar o tempo do estudante e utilizar uma gama diversificada de materiais, que oriente jogos, brincadeiras e exercícios de leitura\escrita.

Introduction. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is currently an important global health disease. At the same time vitamin D deficiency is considered the other public health problem around the world. Some studies suggest involving insufficient or deficiency of vitamin Din the etiopathogenesis of T2DM. Materials and methods. 58 patients, 33 women (56.89%) and 25 men (43.10%) were included in the observational study. Demographics (age, gender), personal anamnestic data (duration of diabetes, micro-and macrovascular complications, therapy with vitamin D supplements), anthropometric and biochemical parameters were assessed. The anthropometric measurement included height (meters), weight (kg) and body mass index (BMI) defined as a ratio of weight to the square of height (kg/m2). Biochemical parameters included the fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), as well the level 25(OH)D. We followed the correlation between vitamin D levels and the duration of diabetes, BMI, blood glucose levels, HbA1c, TC, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, TG. Results.

Pregnancy is an important event in women’s life as it involves various physiological and anatomical alterations to match and accommodate with the development of the fetus. Due to c-morbidities and pregnancy related complications, pregnant women often requires medical management which includes medication use. We reviewed the literature for studies that assessed medication use among pregnant women in the Arabian countries. Prevalence of medication use among pregnant women from Arabian countries varied from 40% to 98.2%. The most commonly used medications were vitamin and supplements, analgesics, antibiotics, and herbal medicines. The most frequently reported justification for self-medication were: inconvenience, less expensive, previous experience with disease, and that the diseases are not serious. In conclusion, the use of medications during pregnancy were found to be prevalent among pregnant women in the Arabian countries.
Venom Peptides of Echis carinatus against SARS-CoV-2: Effective Inhibition of Human ACE2 Receptor and MPro Spike Protein
Authors: İLHAN Süleyman , ATMACA Harika
Published: November 2023

The search for effective inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to the exploration of diverse compound libraries. Molecular docking and virtual screening techniques have been employed to identify potential drug candidates. Natural products, known for their wide variety and reduced toxicity, have gained significant attention in these screenings. Snake venom proteins, characterized by their diverse biological activities and unique molecular structures, offer a promising avenue for the discovery of bioactive molecules with therapeutic potential. In this study, we focused on the investigation of snake venom proteins isolated from Echis carinatus, specifically Schistatin (SCH), phospholipase A2 (PLA2), Disintegrin (DS), and Echistatin (ECH) for their potential as inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2. Through molecular docking analysis, the binding interactions between these venom proteins and key SARS-CoV-2 targets, the main protease (Mpro), and the ACE2 receptor were examined. Results revealed that PLA2 exhibited the most favorable binding affinity to both Mpro and ACE2, surpassing the reference drug ritonavir (RTV). SCH, DS, and ECH also demonstrated promising binding affinities with both targets. This study sheds light on the unexplored potential of snake venom proteins, specifically PLA2, SCH, DS, and ECH from E. carinatus venom, as inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2. Further experimental investigations are warranted to validate their antiviral activities and assess their therapeutic potential in combating COVID-19. The exploration of snake venom proteins presents an intriguing avenue for the discovery of novel drug candidates with broad applications in the treatment of various diseases, including viral infections such as COVID-19.
Street food experience and destination image: a study on tourist perceptions in Da Lat
Authors: Truong Thi Lan Huong , Nguyen Thi Diem Kieu
Published: November 2023

Culinary experiences can be seen as one of the initial impressions of a destination for tourists and a significant factor in their decision-making process. It serves as an effective marketing tool for shaping the destination’s image. This study explores the causal relationships between street food experiences, particularly those related to local culinary culture, with destination image, satisfaction, and future behavior of tourists. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 412 domestic tourists who had experienced street food in Da Lat, a renowned destination in Vietnam. The empirical evidence affirms that when tourists have positive street food experiences, their perception of the destination image is also positive, leading to higher satisfaction, positive word-of-mouth behavior, and a higher likelihood of returning to the destination. The results also emphasize the importance of cultural consumption value in the street food experience through distinctive characteristics. Based on these findings, the study also proposes further research directions and managerial implications for local authorities and businesses aiming to highlight the cultural and emotional aspects of street food experiences, thereby enhancing the destination image in visitors’ eyes.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN ICAO LEVEL 4 AND 5 IN AVIATION ENGLISH: EXPECTATIONS AND RESULTS
Authors: Masiulionienė Gabrielė , Tupčiauskaitė Gytė
Published: November 2023

The Authors investigated the Aviation English proficiency levels of Vilnius Tech Aircraft Piloting and Air Traffic Control (ATC) students by considering general English examination scores, marks for Aviation English modules and proficiency levels of a specialised speaking task. The aim was to assess how well students acquire the skills and abilities not only to pass an Aviation English proficiency examination (level 4), but also to obtain a higher level 5 necessary for a longer endorsement of their language certificate. Finally, it was determined which areas of language are the easiest and most difficult to master with regards to either a level 4 or 5 according to the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) Rating scale. It was found that four out of five students have the background skills to reach at least an ICAO level 4 upon graduating, however only a fifth are able to achieve a higher level 5. The proportion of level 5 students does not match the proportion of students with good initial general English results, so there should be a greater focus on improving the language training programme by making it more challenging and broadening its scope in terms of vocabulary and grammar in particular.

The dispersed remnants of stellar nurseries, stellar associations, provide unparalleled samples of coeval stars critical for studies of stellar and planetary formation and evolution. The Carina Stellar Association is one of the closest stellar associations to Earth, and yet measurements of its age have varied from 13 to 45 Myr. We aim to update the age of Carina using the lithium depletion boundary (LDB) method. We obtain new measurements of the Li 6708 Å absorption feature in likely members using optical spectra from the Goodman High Throughput Spectrograph on SOAR and NRES on LCO. We detect the depletion boundary at M

K
≃ 6.8 (M5). This age is consistent within uncertainties across six different models, including those that account for magnetic fields and spots. We also estimate the age through analysis of the group’s overall variability, and by comparing the association members’ color–magnitude diagram to stellar evolutionary models using a Gaussian Mixture Model, recovering ages consistent with the LDB. Combining these age measures we obtain an age for the Carina association of

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the Class I source Oph IRS 63 in the context of the Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks large program. Our ALMA observations of Oph IRS 63 show a myriad of protostellar features, such as a shell-like bipolar outflow (in 12CO), an extended rotating envelope structure (in 13CO), a streamer connecting the envelope to the disk (in C18O), and several small-scale spiral structures seen toward the edge of the dust continuum (in SO). By analyzing the velocity pattern of 13CO and C18O, we measure a protostellar mass of M
⋆ = 0.5 ± 0.2 M
⊙ and confirm the presence of a disk rotating at almost Keplerian velocity that extends up to ∼260 au. These calculations also show that the gaseous disk is about four times larger than the dust disk, which could indicate dust evolution and radial drift. Furthermore, we model the C18O streamer and SO spiral structures as features originating from an infalling rotating structure that continuously feeds the young protostellar disk. We compute an envelope-to-disk mass infall rate of ∼10−6
M
⊙ yr−1 and compare it to the disk-to-star mass accretion rate of ∼10−8
M
⊙ yr−1, from which we infer that the protostellar disk is in a mass buildup phase. At the current mass infall rate, we speculate that soon the disk will become too massive to be gravitationally stable.

O + 3.7 at 0.6 < z < 1.0. Furthermore, we show that both the visual merger sample and the pair sample exhibit a similar evolution in the merger rate at z < 1, with

The visual merger sample has a specific star formation rate that is about 0.16 dex higher than that of nonmerger galaxies, whereas no significant star formation excess is observed in the pair sample. This suggests that the effects of mergers on star formation differ at different merger stages.
