Published: June 2023

Стаття присвячена актуальній проблемі формування комунікативної компетенції майбутніх фахівців у закладі вищої освіти. Зокрема, розглянуто методологію освітнього компонента “Українська ономастика”, його актуальність у сучасному суспільстві, неоднозначність і синтетичність. Аргументовано статус пропріальної лексики як важливого елемента національної ідентичності, що містить лінгвокраїнознавчу та культурно-національну інформацію й має величезне значення для формування когнітивної бази особистості. Встановлено, що розуміння прецедентних власних імен є важливим критерієм рівня сформованості навичок міжкультурної взаємодії, адже відбувається опанування не лише техніки мови, а й певного соціокультурного коду. Зроблено висновок, що пропріативна лексика здатна активізувати пошукову та дослідницьку діяльність здобувачів вищої освіти, стимулювати пізнавальні інтереси та творчу креативність молодого покоління.

The Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Youth Violence: Insights from Professional Key Informants
Authors: Aldallal Mohamed , Omari Deeb , Muvuka Baraka , Ryan Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has had drastic effects on youth violence protective and risk factors by isolating many at risk youth. While youth violence is a growing global health problem, there are limited studies exploring youth violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lake County in Northwest Indiana presents an opportunity for youth violence research and prevention given its socio-demographic context and its limited youth violence data. This study explored the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts on youth violence and its risk and protective factors from the perspectives of professional key informants in Lake County, Indiana.
 Methods
This study utilized a descriptive qualitative design inspired by the constructivist grounded theory. We recruited professional key informants through purposive and snowball sampling. Data collection consisted of virtual semi-structured key informant interviews that were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis consisted of inductive thematic analysis with open line-by-line coding, focused coding in Dedoose, and theme identification.
 Results
A total of six key informants were interviewed, representing diverse youth-serving occupations. These interviews revealed five general themes portraying the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth violence: mental health impacts on youth; socialization of youth; youth as victims, perpetrators, or witnesses; shifting of learning environments; and parent-child relationships. Key informants observed an increase in less visible types of youth violence, underlying pandemic-induced or-exacerbated youth mental and behavioral health issues, strained parent-child relationships, and the educational marginalization of youth in underserved communities during online learning transitions.
Conclusions
This study highlighted underserved youth’s vulnerability to the COVID-19 pandemic’s adverse impacts on youth violence experiences, risk, and protective factors. Our findings support the need to prioritize youth during and after crises, to utilize innovative strategies to better reach underserved youth, and to develop ethical and integrated youth violence data systems. Future research should explore youth’s lived experiences with violence throughout the pandemic.
An 8 Week Rural Surgical Clerkship: Does It Help to Produce more Rural Physicians?
Authors: Crump William J. , Dodds James A , Jones Caitlan S. , Watson James B.
Published: June 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of our study was to determine what effect an 8-week rural surgical clerkship rotation during the 3rdyear of medical school has on future practice site location.
Methods:
 We report the subsequent practice site for ninety-five 3rd year medical students who completed an 8-week rural surgical clerkship from 2013-2016 compared to a cohort from the same time who completed this clerkship on the urban campus, matched by year and specialty chosen.
Findings:
On first analysis, there is a significant correlation (p=.0026) between rural clerkship and subsequent rural practice. With secondary analysis, all but one of the students in the rural clerkship group who chose rural practice were rural track students completing most of both clinical years in the rural setting.
Conclusions:
As found previously, longer duration rural exposures are associated with more frequent subsequent rural practice, but we found no such association for the 8-week rural surgical clerkship. The previous report of positive attitude changes among urban-based medical students completing this rural clerkship may help them understand rural patients seeking their care in an urban setting, but such attitude changes are not adequate to affect the complex decision of practice choice. Future studies of rural exposures during medical school should focus on intermediate duration exposures as well as different specialty clerkships beyond surgery and seek an association with subsequent practice site location.
Seeking Education, Equity, and Diversity (SEED)
Authors: Ackles Crystal Ackles , Michael Anders, Ph.D
Published: June 2023

Introduction
Health care work cultures that embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) foster innovations, synergy, and appreciation for differences.  To promote DEI, health care systems have encouraged professional development on cultural humility, which is awareness of one’s values, beliefs, and social position, given the current cultural context while mindful of history.  The national SEED Project (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) is a professional development program that prompts reflection and perspective shifting about workplace culture and systemic change. However, reports that examine the SEED learning experience and the participants’ intention for behavior change are lacking.  The purpose of our study was to examine:  (a) The SEED learning experience, (b) How personal views can foster cultural humility, and (c) The impact of SEED on intentions to effect change.
Methods
A purposive sample of eight (N = 8) faculty and staff from a SEED cohort at an academic health science center, with regional programs, participated in in-depth interviews to explore their personal views of how to foster cultural humility in health care and the impact of SEED to prompt intentions for behavior change. The investigators conducted a thematic analysis using an inductive, iterative method.  Independently, they read each transcript and created codes for each comment. Subsequently, they compared findings, developed a coding frame, and grouped codes into potential themes. They then individually applied the coding frame to the data and considered themes.  Finally, they built consensus on codes and synthesized codes into themes.
Results
Thematic analysis indicated the participants had a profound learning experience, which prompted them to develop cultural humility by re-framing cultural experiences and resolving to become more proactive about DEI in the workplace. They found small group discussions were insightful and provocative. These discussions led to new perspectives and behavior change or intentions for behavior change.  Our analysis generated three themes: (1) Connecting with diverse perspectives, (2) Developing new perspectives, and (3) Being proactive with advocacy and new strategies.
Conclusion
Health care professionals and organizations can use our findings to encourage professional development that potentially stimulates behavior change, the ultimate goal of professional development, related to DEI.  Future studies should examine the impact of this professional development within their organization and in the delivery of health care.

Characterization of COVID-19 Mitigation Measures Among Workers from May 2020-June 2021
Authors: Robinson Carly , Shannon Gidley  , Kara Garcia
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To determine the relationship between early adherence to COVID-19 mitigation measures (before vaccine availability) and later vaccination status (after vaccines were widely available) in the Southwest Indiana workforce population.

Design: Retrospective analysis of existing longitudinal cohort from two surveys: a COVID-19 prevalence survey in May 2020 and a follow up survey in June 2021.

Setting: This study focused on secondary analysis of existing data from two surveys of the same Southwest Indiana workforce population, spanning manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and service industries.

Participants: The analysis included participants who completed the 2020 survey (845), 2021 survey (492), or both (343).

Main Outcome Measures: Relationship of adherence to early mitigation measures on vaccine adoption. We also examined differences in demographic characteristics including age, rurality (rural, rural/mixed, or urban county based on zip code of residence), education level, gender, and workplace environment.

Results: Significant differences in age (p=0.02) and education (p=0.01), but not rurality, were observed between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. Furthermore, comparison of vaccinated and unvaccinated groups found significantly different responses to the degree of self-reported mitigation practices in early 2020.

Conclusions: Consistent with previous studies, we found that demographic characteristics such as age and education may influence vaccination status. Furthermore, our data suggest an association between willingness to practice mitigation measures at the beginning of the pandemic and willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Activities intended for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in West Sumatra in obtaining Halal product certificates. The activity began with socialization and registration by MSMEs for products to be registered for halal certification. MSMEs, which are generally engaged in food processing, lack knowledge of the importance of product legality. The need to obtain product certification is demanded by increasing market competition and public awareness of the importance of the safety of a product they consume. In addition, the lack of knowledge of small business actors about the procedures that must be passed is also a significant problem. So, the implementation of this activity is significant in increasing the competitiveness of partner products. This community engagement activity aimed to help partners in product and business development and become partner facilitators to obtain product Halal certificates.

Indonesia is recently facing the fertilizer issue as the shortage supply of subsidized fertilizers is aligned with the increasing price of non-subsidized ones. So, it eventually resulted in the unstable price of agricultural commodities. The issue has been becoming an obstacle for farmers practising agricultural cultivation, particularly those in Batang Tajongkek Village, Pariaman, West Sumatra Province. It needs to develop its potential for natural resources to make organic fertilizer from cow manure. Furthermore, the solution supports the government program on establishing integrated agriculture. Two activities were conducted to empower the area's potentials, which were counselling and composting demos, respectively. The aim was to ensure knowledge transfer to the farmers regarding the technology and critical method of cow manure composting. During the counselling, the farmers were facilitated to discuss the related issue of sustainable integrated agriculture, organic farming, and the making process of compost. Meanwhile, the process of composting from cow manure was also shown during the demo. Furthermore, the farmer was facilitated to analyze the content of produced compost, which was mainly focused on the content of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). The activities have empowered the people in the area to self-produce cow manure compost as an organic fertilizer. The analysis of the produced compost showed that the compost has yet to fulfil the national standard of solid fertilizer (SNI 7763:2018) regarding the content of macronutrients (N + P2O5 + K2O). However, the pH of produced compost has met the national standard. The pH was 7.27, which ranges from 4-9. For the compost to be utilized by the community, it is necessary to mix other materials in its manufacture so that the resulting compost complies with SNI.

Impact of removal of rubber plantations for urbanization on CO2 mitigating capacity by the loss of carbon sink in Kerala state, India
Authors: Ambily K.K. , Ulaganathan A. , Sathisha G. C.
Published: June 2023

Mitigating climate change and global warming through carbon sequestration by tree ecosystems is of prime importance since they are cost-effective, environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable. Urbanization is a part of development, and rubber plantations are usually removed for this purpose, especially in Kerala, the southern state of India. Besides latex, the economic produce, and the associated income, the rubber tree is a fairly good sink for carbon in its biomass, with an average carbon content of 42 per cent and substantial carbon stock in the soil. In the present study, an account of total carbon loss by the removal of rubber plantation for urbanization and developmental activities are given. The present popular clone (RRII 105) existing in major share (85%) of the total rubber cultivation in India accounts for carbon sink loss 57 t ha-1, 57.5 t ha-1, 43.2 t ha-1 for 23 years and 148 t ha-1, 75 t ha-1 and 62.1 t ha-1 for 30 years from biomass, litterfall and sheet rubber respectively. The recent clones RRII 414, RRII 429 and RRII 417 have higher growth rates and higher biomass (44-50 per cent) carbon sink loss compared to the existing popular clone RRII 105. The carbon sink loss in the form of stored carbon in soil is 56.5, with a soil carbon content between 1.2 to 2 per cent. Due to the growth variation in diverse environments with extreme climatic conditions, the clones recorded differences in carbon stock and carbon sink loss. The central region of Kerala showed a higher loss, and a lower loss was in the drought-affected northern region than the southern region. The total carbon sink losses for 23 and 30 years were 214.2 and 341.5 t ha-1, respectively. This study points out that the serious carbon sink loss due to the removal of rubber plantations results in disturbing the self-sustained, carbon-friendly and economically sound perennial rubber ecosystem. Vegetation having higher C-sequestration potential and trees with higher lignin content is essential to increase carbon capture for mitigating the impact of the removal of plantations. From the present study, it is clear that the removal of rubber plantations is affecting the carbon sink loss, thereby the CO2 mitigating capacity, and is a serious matter of concern.

Shape memory alloys are a unique class of materials that are capable of large reversible deformations under external stimuli such as stress or temperature. The present study examines the phase transformations and mechanical responses of NiTi and NiTiHf shape memory alloys under the loading of a spherical indenter by using a finite element model. It is found that the indentation unloading curves exhibit distinct changes in slopes due to the reversible phase transformations in the SMAs. The normalized contact stiffness (F/S2) of the SMAs varies with the indentation load (depth) as opposed to being constant for conventional single-phase materials. The load-induced phase transformation that occurred under the spherical indenter was simulated numerically. It is observed that the phase transformation phenomenon in the SMA induced by an indentation load is distinctly different from that induced by a uniaxial load. A pointed indenter produces a localized deformation, resulting in a stress (load) gradient in the specimen. As a result, the transformation of phases in SMAs induced by an indenter can only be partially completed. The overall modulus of the SMAs varies continuously with the indentation load (depth) as the average volumetric fraction of the martensite phase varies. For NiTi (Ea > Em), the modulus decreases with the depth, while for NiTiHf (Ea < Em), the modulus increases with the depth. The predicted young modules during indentation modeling agree well with experimental results. Finally, the phase transformation of the SMAs under the indenter is not affected by the post-yield behavior of the materials.

Published: June 2023

Most workers in Nigeria, like other developing nations, find it difficult to sustain themselves and their family despite the adjustment and re-adjustment of the minimum wage. This study, therefore, examined the effect of social-demographic factors such as: Age, Sex, Level of Education and Placements in an organization on wage determination. The study was a descriptive research survey. The population was all the 86 staff of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Ilorin. While the study employed both stratified and simple random sampling technique. 60 employees of the ministry served as the study sample size. 66% of the respondents were males, while 34% female. The formulated hypothesis was tested with multiple regression. The result revealed that age, sex, level of education, family size and cadre level of placement of worker jointly predicted employee wage determination. The variable jointly predicted 17% changes observed in the reported employee wage determination. The study concluded that social-demographic factor such as: age, sex, level of education and employee placements in the organization affect wage determination. The study recommends that for an effective policy formulation the policymaker should consider the principle of wage differential because it ensure adequate coverage and measurement of the necessary variables that ought to be included while determining the minimum wage.
Study of the Relationship between Conflict Properties and Performance Indicators of Organizational and Technical Systems on the Example of a Special Purpose Communication Network

Published: June 2023

The system approach to the study of organizational and technical systems, including organizational and technical elements and the interaction between them is used. The analysis of the literature on the investigated problem is carried out, the choice in favor of the conflict theory for the study of organizational-technical systems is made and the necessity of solving the scientific problem of clarifying the applicability of existing assessments of the conflicts of the system is determined. The hypothesis of the existence of a relationship between estimates of the conflict relations of elements and performance indicators of organizational-technical systems is considered.

By the example of a special purpose local communication network a mathematical model of conflict interactions is developed, utility functions of its elements are introduced, existing and new methods of evaluation of conflict relations of elements and the system as a whole are considered.

On the model of the considered local network we conduct a full-scale experiment to define the network performance (the ratio of the data transmission rate to the channel capacity, the central processor load, the ratio of the transmission time of a fixed amount of data to the minimum achievable with the use of the entire channel capacity) in various conditions of its operation, including the impact of negative factors. For each investigated state of the local network, we modify the mathematical model to calculate the values of the conflict relations of the elements and the system as a whole.

The choice of estimates of the conflict relations, potentially having connection with efficiency indicators is carried out. The correlation between the selected set of assessments of conflict relations and performance indicators is determined by methods of correlation analysis. As a result of the analysis, we singled out the estimates, which can be used to predict the degree of change in the conflicts of the system and its elements when modifying or changing the conditions of functioning.
