Authors:   National University of Food Technologies, Kyiv, Ukraine, Batychenko S. , Melnyk L. ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: May 2024

The article discloses theoretical issues related to rural green tourism. The concept of rural green tourism is revealed, as well as its types of purpose and the level of activity of tourists (active-sports, active-educational, passive). The main prerequisites for the development and functioning of rural green tourism within Ukraine are determined. A distinctive feature of rural green tourism has been determined, namely, the tourist's stay in an ecologically clean environment, located in a certain area far from the urbanized environment with the possibility of direct participation in agricultural processes. The types of rural green tourism that are presented on the Ukrainian tourist market are described. Namely, agrotourism, which is a type of rural green tourism of both an educational and recreational nature, associated with the use of household farms or lands of agricultural enterprises, which are temporarily not used in the agrarian sphere. Recreational tourism using the capital housing fund on the estates of the owners and the available natural, recreational, historical-architectural, cultural-domestic and other assets of one or another area. Ecotourism, which is a scientific and educational type of rural green tourism, characteristic of rural areas and villages located within the territories of national parks, protected areas, natural parks, etc., where appropriate restrictions on loads on the territory and regulated types of recreational recreation are provided. The positive impact of rural green tourism on the development and functioning of rural areas is singled out. The problems of the development of rural green tourism within the territory of Ukraine are highlighted. As well as the specified prospects and strategic goals of the development of rural green tourism.
Active types of tourism and recreation: terminological discourse
Authors:   National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kolotukha O.
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the relationship of concepts related to active forms of tourism and recreation, such as "active tourism", "sports tourism", "sports and health tourism", "sports and recreation tourism", "amateur tourism", "adventure tourism" and "extreme tourism". These types of tourism use active means of transportation in the natural environment and the route technologies necessary for this, and have overlapping and overlapping subject areas. All these types of tourism, together with such as natural, responsible, sustainable, ecological, wild, green, soft tourism, etc., use terms to denote them, which reflect the trend of growing interest in nature and caring for the environment, based on the concepts of sustainable, balanced development of tourism. Therefore, they should be attributed to one generalized concept - nature based tourism, which should be understood as any active type of travel carried out directly in the little-changed natural environment, outside man-made landscapes. The concept of active recreation and its types should be defined separately. After all, a number of tourism researchers mistakenly refer to active tourism as some local types of active recreation, extreme entertainment associated with a certain risk to life. More than 50 such extreme types of active recreation have been identified, which can be conditionally divided into 4 groups: land, air, water and snow (winter). However, these types of active recreation in no way fall under the concept of tourism, because they are local in nature, instead, active tourism with its components has a deep route basis.
Estimation of Geometrical Spreading Factor and Coda-Wave Attenuation Characteristics for the Saurashtra Horst in Western Deccan Volcanic Province, Gujarat, India
Authors: Bala Indu , Kumar Santosh , Sandhu Manisha , Chopra Sumer , Kumar Dinesh
Published: May 2024

In the present study, we have estimated the coda Q (QC) and the geometrical spreading factor (gamma) for the Saurashtra region that is located in the western part of the Deccan Volcanic Province, Gujarat, India. The waveform data from the seismic network operated by the Institute of Seismological Research, Gandhinagar, are used for the analysis. We have used records of a total of 221 local earthquakes with epicentral distances less than 70 km from the seismic stations. The moment magnitude range of the earthquakes is 2.5–5.3, and the depth range is 1–22 km. The QC has been estimated at five central frequencies (1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 20 Hz) using 20, 30, and 40 s window lengths for vertical, north–south, and east–west components, respectively. The obtained QC values show that the attenuation in the region has a strong dependence on frequency and points toward a heterogeneous medium. The geometrical spreading factors are also estimated for two cases, that is, with and without Q at the same central frequencies and window lengths. The average geometrical spreading factors with Q are 1.37, 1.48, 1.40, 1.08, and 1.04, at central frequencies 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 20 Hz, respectively, whereas it is 1.59, 1.53, 1.47, 1.19, and 1.14, respectively, in the absence of Q. The estimated values also indicate that the medium is heterogeneous in the Saurashtra region. The estimated region-specific coda Q and the geometrical spreading factor may help in the modeling of strong ground motions and assessment of the seismic hazard for the Saurashtra region.

The Wisdom of Plants: Guides in a Journey of Community-Based Inquiry
Authors: Terrones Nick
Published: May 2024

The COVID-19 global pandemic brought many stressors that greatly impacted communities on many different levels, and in the shadow of these stressors were opportunities to innovate. This was especially true for early learning communities, and specifically for Indigenous early learning communities. From a foundation of Community-Based Inquiry, I aim to tell my story as a first time director at Daybreak Star Preschool where our process of healing and re-membering Indigenous practices with preschool children is rooted in land-based pedagogy and curriculum. This process built a momentum for our early learning community to move from a place of simply surviving the pandemic, to a place where we could thrive in reciprocity with our plant relatives and their wisdom.

To Study Knowledge Regarding Healthy Lifestyle Modifications in Middle-Aged Diabetic Population
Authors: Patil Ketaki , Yadav Trupti
Published: May 2024

Background: Lifestyle plays a significant role in helping patients with diabetes control their blood sugar levels. Understanding early complications to prevent further adverse effects from uncontrolled sugar levels and a worsening healthy lifestyle is a prerequisite to knowledge regarding healthy lifestyle modifications. Exercise therapy has long been recommended for use in the management and prevention of type 2 diabetes. Dietary habits play an important role in the control of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. An increase in calorie intake leads to poor glycemic control. Stress levels can affect the increased glucose levels. Middle-aged adults are at increased risk of developing diabetes, and this population may benefit from targeted interventions to promote healthy lifestyle modifications. Therefore, a study is needed to assess the level of knowledge and awareness of middle-aged diabetic populations regarding healthy lifestyle modifications. Materials and Methods: A validated questionnaire was prepared on Google Forms and distributed among the diabetic population. Data was calculated automatically on Google spreadsheet. Results: Patients with diabetes exhibit little awareness of recommended lifestyle changes. A poor understanding of diabetes and its complications is demonstrated by 83.87 % of the population. 77.41% of persons have a poor understanding of dietary adjustments for diabetes. 86.02% of respondents exhibit insufficient awareness of physical exercise therapies for diabetes. 52.68% of people are unaware of how stress affects insulin secretion. Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, Given the early onset of diabetes problems, middle-aged diabetics have an increasing need for knowledge regarding appropriate lifestyle adjustments due to their higher risk of diabetes.

Published: May 2024

Objective. To study feasibility of atherosclerotic plaque (AP) detection in individuals working in the Arctic via rotating shifts (ARS) regarding sex, arterial hypertension (HTN), immune inflammation. Design and methods. In Yamburg village (68° 21’ 40” N), 99 males (M) and 81 females (F) with HTN 1,2 stages and normotensive individuals, comparable in age, work experience in ARS, office blood pressure (BP) were examined. Ultrasound examination of carotid arteries, biochemical blood test was performed. Statistica 8,0 (Stat Soft, USA), IBM SPSS Statistics 23 (IBM, USA). Results. Analysis was conducted in M and F groups with AP (n = 98) / without AP (n = 82): among them 57 M (58%), 41 F (51%) were with AP, Рχ2 = 0,6116; with/without HTN. In HTN M, more often than in normotensive M, AP was visualized in carotid arteries lumen: 72% (44 out of 61) vs 34% (13 out of 38), Рχ2 = 0,0209. Probability of AP in M was associated with highly sensitive C-reactive protein (p = 0,052), level of very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL CH) (p = 0,038), C-peptide (p = 0,004), interleukin IL‑6 (p = 0,048); with level of VLDL CH (p = 0,052) in F only. In M with AP, strong association with mean daily BP parameters was found. Conclusions. Carotid AP associated with HTH in ARS was frequently detected in M. Regardless of PB, AP in M was associated with systemic inflammation, raise of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase in VLDL CH level. According to logistic regression data in W, lipid metabolism disorders, hormonal changes and metabolic changes, but not immune inflammation, increased the chance of AP imaging in carotid arteries. In HTN M and F, AP was associated with systemic inflammation, pro-inflammatory cytokines due to HTN presence.

Objective. The aim of the study was to investigate the content of fatty acids (FA) in the blood plasma of Novosibirsk men (“ESSE-RF3” in the Novosibirsk region) with established and newly diagnosed arterial hypertension (HTN). Design and methods. Within the framework of the multicenter single-stage epidemiological study ESSE-RF3 in the Novosibirsk region, 1200 residents of Novosibirsk (men — 600, women — 600) aged 35–74 years were examined. The random number study included 340 men with an average age of 54,63 ± 11,34 years, of which 156 people with established HTN, 49 had AH for the first time, and 135 people without HTN. In the blood plasma, the fatty acid spectrum of blood, including omega‑3,-6,-9 FA, was determined by highperformance liquid chromatography. Results. The level of alpha-linolenic and gamma-linolenic FAs was 1,21 (p = 0,005) and 1,39 times higher (p = 0,013) in the group of men with established HTN (who did not reach the target values of blood pressure against the background of therapy), respectively. The content of gammalinolenic acid was 1,46 times higher in the group of men with the first ever detected HTN (p = 0,038) when compared with the group of men without HTN. The relative chance of HTN in men, regardless of risk factors, is directly associated with an increase in the level of gamma-linolenic FA, and inversely associated with the level of hexadecenoic FA in blood plasma. Conclusions. Thus, from the studied FA in blood plasma, an increase in the level of gamma-linolenic FA can serve as an additional informative biomarker indicating a high probability of developing HTN in men.

Design and methods. The study included 66 women divided into two groups: group 1 — 33 women with a history of HTN during pregnancy. The distribution of different HTN disorders of pregnancy was the following: 75% — gestational HTN; 12,5% — chronic HTN; 12,5% — preeclampsia. Group 2 — 33 women with a history of normotension during pregnancy. Walking for at least 150 min per week (30 min a day, 5 times a week) for 9 months was a mandatory component of the physical training program in group 2. Women in group 2 continued clinical follow-up without physical training program. All participants filled in a specially designed questionnaire. Anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical parameters were evaluated, including PA level, quality of life (short questionnaire SF‑36), and serum leptin and adiponectin concentrations. Results. A PA training program for 9 months in women with a history of HTN during pregnancy led to a decrease in waist circumference and body mass index, a decrease in serum leptin levels and an increase in serum adiponectin levels, an increase in PA levels and an improvement in quality of life for account of the general physical and spiritual components.
“…noxiousness of my work:” Miroslav Macháček’s 1971 "Henry V" at the Normalized National Theatre
Authors: Pšenička Martin
Published: May 2024

The essay focuses on the 1971 production of William Shakespeare’s rarely staged historical drama Henry V, directed by Czech director Miroslav Macháček at the Prague National Theatre in a new translation by Czech literary historian and translator Břetislav Hodek. Macháček staged the play shortly after the 1968 occupation of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops. The premiere of the play provoked negative reactions from influential Communist officials, including the leading post-1968 politician Vasil Biľak. Macháček’s performance, which, in the director’s words, was intended as a universal anti-war parable, became a political topicality that the newly emerging normalisation authorities understood as a deliberate political, anti-socialist provocation. The essay traces the background of the production, including the translation of the play, and the consequences of the staging for Macháček. At the same time, it attempts to unravel a number of ambiguities and ambivalences associated with the period of normalization (1970s and 1980s) and its research. A special focus is given to the production itself as it disturbed the audience with its ambivalence. In this analytical section, the essay works with Norman Rabkin’s conception of Henry V, as presented in his essay “Rabbits, Ducks, and Henry V,” which traces Shakespeare’s complex grasp of the historical figure and the events associated with Henry. Macháček, who staged the play several years before this essay by Rabkin, pursued similar intentions with his stage concept. It was this unsettling ambivalence that carried within it the features of both a parable and a political gesture that spoke out against the communist occupation.
No Calm After the Storm. A Decade of "The Tempest" in Polish Theatres (2012–2021)
Authors: Romanowska Agnieszka
Published: May 2024

The article discusses twelve productions based on The Tempest shown in Polish theatres in the years 2012-21, a decade whose challenges included escalation of the migration crisis, increasing climate change, social and political unrest around much of the globe, and the covid pandemic, but which was also marked by important Shakespearean anniversaries. In order to inspect the play’s significance for contemporary Polish audiences the productions are scrutinised in relation to four categories of interrelated issues: modification of characters, depiction of suspended reality connected with sleep, dreaming, memory and recollection, references to current social and political challenges, and employment of the play’s meta-artistic potential. The productions’ interpretative tendencies reveal a number of common denominators which are analysed with an aim of explaining why, in today’s Poland, the possibility of reconciliation and return to some form of re-established order that the playwright contemplates is seen as very difficult, if not impossible.
Passion and Politics in Diego de Brea and Jakub Čermák’s "Edward II": Marlowe’s Controversial History on Czech Stages
Authors: Mišterová Ivona , Krajník Filip
Published: May 2024

The present article outlines the stage history of Christopher Marlowe’s history Edward II on Czech stages, focusing chiefly on how the respective directors approached the titular character of Marlowe’s play and his sexuality. The study focuses on two post-2000 productions of the play: Diego de Brea’s Edvard Drugy for the Slovenian National Theatre, which toured to the 16th “Divadlo” International Theatre Festival in Pilsen, West Bohemia, in 2008; and Jakub Čermák’s production of Edvard II. for the independent Czech theatre company “Depresivní děti touží po penězích” (Depressive Children Yearn for Money) that premiered in 2023 in Prague. Since for both Czechs and Slovenians, King Edward II is a minor figure of English history and Elizabethan history plays are generally less appealing to them than other genres, both the directors sideline the political dimension of the story to fully explore the issue of social and sexual norms and relate it to current social and cultural discussions both in the West and the former Eastern Bloc. Stressing the motif of social and sexual otherness even more bravely than most recent Western productions, de Brea and Čermák offered not only valuable contributions to both local and global reception of Marlowe’s Edward II, but also raised the visibility of LGBT theatre in a region where it has only a modest history and tradition.
Other "Hamlet" in Puppet Theatre: A Contribution to Central European Theatre Diversity of the 1980s-1990s
Authors: Trefalt Uroš
Published: May 2024

This study aims to address the stigmatization and reductionism of Central European culture by many scholars and to decentralize it. At the Crossing Borders with Shakespeare Since 1945 conference, the roundtable discussion raised questions about naming and defining “Central Europe” and revealed several discrepancies. However, the discussion lacked cultural, political, and historical context. To address this, the author examines a lesser-known artistic genre, puppet theatre, for answers and comparisons. Zlatko Bourek, a Croatian artist and director, offers a unique perspective on the theatre of the 1980s and serves as an example of the diversity and heterogeneity of Central European cultural expression. Bourek’s work draws from the tradition of Central European puppetry and explores connections between the Iron Curtain and Yugoslavia. His artistic style is exemplified in his adaptation of Tom Stoppard’s play Fifteen-Minute Hamlet, which masterfully condenses the entire plot of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet into a fifteen-minute performance. Bourek’s concept of combining Shakespearean tragedy with farce, presented through Japanese traditional Bunraku theatre, represents an important experiment of the 1980s. The use of syncretism and the aesthetics of ugliness are notable features of this experiment. It is a breakthrough in the perceived history of puppet theatre for adults and an aesthetic experiment in the era of Central European totalitarianism.

Published: May 2024

This study analyzed Naver, Daum, Google, YouTube, and Twitter using TEXTOM for two years and four years as of January 18, 2020. The results are as follows. First, the total number and volume of keyword search data related to youth and diet were slightly higher after COVID-19, showing that interest increased due to COVID-19. Second, as a result of frequency analysis, ‘education’ was the highest before COVID-19, and ‘health’ was the highest after COVID-19, showing that interest in health is increasing due to the increased importance of health and immunity due to COVID-19. Third, as a result of frequency weight analysis of the top 50 keywords, ‘education’ showed the highest frequency before COVID-19, and ‘acne’ after COVID-19. Fourth, the results visualized using word cloud showed that the keywords ‘education’ before COVID-19 and ‘health’ after COVID-19 appeared the largest and boldest, showing the highest frequency and importance. As a result of the above results, we were able to use the text mining method to apply it to eating habits, and we used materials visualized as a highly readable word cloud in units such as eating problems in adolescence and balanced meal planning and selection in the home economics curriculum to improve the teaching of the class. The direction of proper eating habits education, including using it as a medium, was presented.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to present a case of implementing educational programs that integrate theory and experience, leading to practical environmental conservation practices within households, and to analyze and evaluate their effectiveness. To achieve these goals, various hands-on environmental education programs related to family life, including carbon-neutral practices, clothing, food, housing, and design, were implemented for early adulthood. Pre- and post-surveys provided by the Korea Environmental Preservation Association were utilized to assess awareness and willingness to engage in environmental conservation among participants, and consultation with an expert was conducted to understand the effectiveness of the educational programs. As a result, the findings confirmed a notable enhancement in participants' environmental consciousness and commitment to action following the program compared to pre-program levels. The results of open-ended questions showed that the content participants wanted to learn and what they actually learned in the classes were similar, validating the effectiveness of the program. The consultation results indicated that presenting various practical methods related to household life would be effective; however, there was a suggestion for the need to consider aspects such as post-practical food management and the unique characteristics of multicultural household members when developing educational programs. This educational initiative holds promise for instigating perceptible shifts in the awareness and proactive engagement of young adults across the spectrum of household dynamics, thereby contributing significantly to the establishment of sustainable living paradigms.
Bibliometric Analysis on Trends of Home Economics Research in China Using CiteSpace
Authors:   Korean Home Economics Education Association, Zheng Yiyuan , Yu Nan Sook
Published: May 2024

This study analyzed the trends of home economics research in China by examining the distribution by period, keyword distribution, distribution of researchers, citation frequency, and distribution of research institutions. For this purpose, data collected from CNKI, spanning from 1984 to 2022, resulted in 149 articles selected for final analysis. The analysis conducted using CiteSpace for the bibliometric research method yielded the following results: Firstly, a significant amount of home economics research was conducted between 2018 and 2022, with a notable increase in research in 2015 and 2020. Secondly, the analysis of keyword distribution showed that research centered around home economics education, home economics philosophy, etc., was active, and various research areas formed clusters. Thirdly, the major contributors to China's home economics research were Li, Xiong, Xia, and Wu, who mainly conducted independent research. The research by Li (2006) had the highest citation frequency, and Jilin Agricultural University published the most research among the institutions. This study indicates that despite quantitative growth due to social changes, China's home economics research lacks diversity and consideration of research outcomes. Therefore, participation from scholars, practical application of the discipline, increased government support, and cooperation for future comprehensive and qualitative research are necessary.
Research note: Gender and educational differences in childcare time: Evidence from the Czech Republic
Authors: Klímová Chaloupková Jana , Pospíšilová Kristýna
Published: May 2024

Objective: This study explores the gender and educational differences in the time spent on childcare in the Czech Republic. In particular, we ask how gender and educational gradients in parenting time intersect and whether they vary by the child’s age. We consider the time parents spend in basic, interactive and focused childcare care as a way to address the intensive parenting model.
Background: Prior research has documented an increase in parental time investment in childcare associated with changes in gender roles and the spread of norms of intensive parenting. However, it remains unclear whether educational and gender differences in parenting time are converging because of these changes and how they vary by the child’s age.
Method: Using time-use data from the Czech Household Study Panel Study—a nationally representative sample from the Czech Republic (2015)—we applied mixed regression models to analyse time spent on three types of childcare activities.
Results: The results indicate that highly educated parents allocate more time to basic and focused care, reflecting a commitment to intensive child-centred parenting. In addition, higher-educated fathers of preschoolers engage more in interactive care. Although gender disparities persist among higher-educated parents, the gap narrows for parents with children older than three years.
Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of analysing parenting time across different activities and child ages to understand family dynamics and child opportunities.

Comparative evaluation of stress generation in primary teeth restored with zirconia and BioFlx crowns: A finite element analysis
Authors: Deolikar Sayali , Rathi Nilesh , Mehta Vini
Published: May 2024

Background: Maintaining the functional integrity of primary teeth is important, as these teeth are integral in vital functions such as mastication, speech development, and space maintenance for permanent teeth; hence, premature loss of primary teeth can affect a child’s quality of life. Various restorative materials are available to restore the function of grossly decayed teeth. Stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns are widely used in pediatric dentistry; however, there are certain disadvantages associated with these materials. Recently introduced BioFlx crowns provide acceptable esthetics with a conservative approach. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence regarding their strength and clinical acceptability. Finite element analysis measures the physical response of teeth and assesses the stress generation, which is important to estimate the integrity of the restorations and crowns. Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare stress generation in primary teeth restored with zirconia and BioFlx crowns using finite element analysis. Methods: Models of extracted teeth restored with zirconia and BioFlx crowns were used for the study. The finite element analysis of these models was carried out through Analysis of Systems (ANSYS) software. The models were subjected to a simulated occlusal loading force of 245 N. Results: Von Mises stress generated in BioFlx crowns along with underlying dentin was much less compared to that which was generated in zirconia crowns. Conclusion: Restoring the functional integrity of carious teeth is essential. BioFlx crowns can be used as full coverage restorations and can be a suitable alternative to zirconia crowns and traditional stainless steel crowns.

У статті визначено та деталізовано п'ятнадцять факторів якості просторового розвитку господарських систем, які враховують сучасні умови функціонування соціально-економічної системи, виклики, ризики і загрози, що пов'язані з володінням державою природними ресурсами та намаганням розвинути національний природно-ресурсний актив. Зазначене стало основою для розробки універсальної моделі оцінювання якості просторового розвитку господарських систем на базі узагальненого інтегрального показника як єдиного критерію оцінки. Його формалізовано за: а) дванадцятьма інтегральними показниками найбільш вагомих якісних факторів просторового розвитку (економічного розвитку; інфраструктури; соціального розвитку; інноваційності; екологічної стійкості; туризму та культурного розвитку; регіональної співпраці; цифрових технологій та новацій; інклюзивного розвитку; управління водними і земельними ресурсами; аграрної політики; енергетичної безпеки); б) урахування вагових коефіцієнтів за кожною потенційно-факторною детермінантою, які визначено й встановлено методом логічного проєктування. Розкрито та охарактеризовано: 1) місце і роль національних природно-ресурсних активів у формуванні оновлених господарських відносин за чотирнадцятьма просторами сталого господарювання (економічній, інтернаціоналізації бізнесу, податковій, торговельній, технологічній, інфраструктурній, енергетичній, політичній, інноваційній, екологічній, безпековій, регуляторній, соціальній, геополітичній); 2) структурований формат, за значенням для господарських відносин, місця і ролі природно-ресурсних активів у формуванні оновлених господарських відносин за трьома пріоритетами на рівні територіального утворення (економічний, технологічний, екологічний) та на національному (економічний, соціальний, екологічний); 3) сутність і зміст реконструктивних просторових технологій організації та розвитку господарських систем, що дозволило сформувати два комплекси реконструктивних технологій, рекомендованих до використання в Україні на повоєнному етапі просторової організації та розвитку господарських систем.
