Purpose of the study: to analyze the influence of dietary habits and the use of biologically active additives (BAAs) as a factor influencing the risk of COVID-19 in medical workers.

Materials and methods: A longitudinal online study was conducted from March to April 2022. Incidence was assessed as the percentage of COVID-19 cases among the total number of respondents. Characteristics of methods for studying actual nutrition were carried out using the method of retrospective recording of nutrition (method of analysis of frequency of consumption).

Results: respondents who took vitamin D in a prophylactic dosage were less likely to get sick with COVID-19 (confirmed SARS-CoV-2) – 35.9% did not get sick with SARSCoV-2; and those who didn’t take it – only 5.85%; p <0. 0001. Taking vitamin D reduced the odds (OR) of developing COVID-19 by 9.011 times (95% CI 4.581–17.710); and the relative risk of developing the disease by 46.5%. Prophylactic use of multivitamin complexes did not affect the risk of COVID-19 (p=0.14). It was found that the use of vegetables in the daily diet reduces the chance (OR) of the occurrence of clinical manifestations of a new coronavirus infection by 1.948 times (95% CI 0.845–4.492); and when consuming more than 400 grams per day – by 2.530 times (95% CI 1.015– 6.306). Daily consumption of green salads reduces the risk of disease by 29.5%.

Conclusion: impaired nutritional status leads to dysregulation of inflammation and oxidative stress; increasing susceptibility to infection and the risk of worsening the disease. The role of proper nutrition should not be overlooked and the use of vitamin D as a non–specific prophylaxis supports the immune system.

Published: July 2024

Essential oils (EOs) from conifer species are a potential source of biopesticides due to their various bioactive effects against pest insects. Since the harmful activity of pest insects often relies on their ability to fly, the disruption of wing morphology due to the use of essential oils (EOs) could be significant. This study investigated changes in wing shape and size in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster after exposure to EOs derived from selected conifers species. Drosophila larvae were treated with a diet containing 3% EOs from 6 Pinus and 3 Abies species. After completing their life cycle, the wings of adults were dissected and analyzed using the geometric morphometrics method. Changes in Drosophila wing morphology were observed. The potential effect of the major compounds of the tested EOs on wing morphology is discussed. We believe that this study lays the foundation for further evaluation of Abies and Pinus EOs in targeted toxicological studies against pest insects by focusing on the potential of EOs to disrupt pest activities that depend on wing morphology.
Engineering Design Optimisation Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Human-AI Collaboration
Authors:   , Vincalek Jakub
Published: July 2024

The primary contributions of this thesis are a comparison of a ducted winglet to two other geometries and a user study which investigated the relationship between engineers and an optimisation algorithm. With an ever increasing emphasis on sustainable and renewable energy production, new technology can increase the efficiency of existing infrastructure such as wind turbines. Aerodynamic devices known as winglets can be ﬁtted to the end of wind turbine blades to increase efficiency and reduce negative downstream effects. A patented winglet introduces a duct that channels freestream air from the bottom of the winglet to the top. The effectiveness of this design is simulated using computational ﬂuid dynamics and compared to two alternative designs across a range of angles of attack. The patented winglet had lower induced drag across a range of angles of attack. Following the comparison, optimisation methods including evolutionary algorithms are employed to further increase the efficiency of the winglet. These algorithms can be used when engineers would otherwise rely on intuition, preconceptions, and theory to try and ﬁnd optimal designs. The manner in which engineers utilise and engage with an evolutionary algorithm known as MAP-Elites is evaluated through a user study. 12 participants were given 20 minutes each to design a car that could travel over an inclined course with obstacles as far as possible. Their behaviour was compared to survey answers they provided before and after designing cars. Participants who engaged with the MAP-Elites algorithm outperformed baseline designs created by the computer and participants who did not engage with the algorithm. Participants were more likely to use the MAP-Elites algorithm even if they were unaware they were using it or if they had stated that they did not trust optimisation algorithms. Shortening the optimisation cycle is explored during the optimisation of the ducted winglet. The effects of increasing uncertainty in the results are explored through two studies on the robustness of evolutionary algorithms and a study on 2-dimensional aerofoils. The studies show that the optimisation cycle can be reduced to a certain extent while maintaining the original ranking of the designs.

Published: July 2024

The present study was conducted to determine the incidence and extent of uterine adhesions following uterine torsion in Mehsana buffaloes. A total of 109 uterine torsion-affected buffaloes were recorded for treatment during the January, 2020 to December, 2022, and they are included in the present work. All the buffaloes were scanned by per-rectal, trans-abdominal ultrasonography and grossly inspection of the uterus during the caesarean section for the presence of adhesions and its nature of extensiveness to the uterus. The uterine adhesions through ultrasonography were predicted by the presence of fibrin bands and absent of anechoic fluid between the omentum and uterine serosa layer.  Grossly, the extent of the uterine adhesions was classified as either localized or widespread type flimsy to dense in nature during the caesarean operation. The intra-operative in-situ detorsion was achieved in buffaloes with flimsy type uterine adhesions.  The overall incidence of adhesions was recorded to be 29.36%. Among them, the incidence of localized type was observed in 21 buffaloes (65.62%) and widespread variety in 11 buffaloes (34.38%), either flimsy or dense. The majority of adhesions were found between the uterus and the inner omental layer.  It is concluded that the incidence of uterine adhesions in uterine torsion-affected buffaloes was reported to be 29.36% using different techniques to identify the localized to widespread uterine adhesions. Further, ultrasonography can be helpful in the prediction and early detection of uterine adhesion in buffaloes with uterine torsion, which helps in better obstetrical management.

Online learning has become an integral part of higher education in today's digital era, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Video conferencing (Vicon) technology plays a crucial role in this transition, enabling direct interaction between teachers and students without the need for physical presence in the classroom. This study aims to analyze the use of Vicon features in the context of online learning and its impact on the smoothness of the learning process. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to students of the Faculty of Computer Science at UPN Veteran Jawa Timur, with the System Usability Scale (SUS) method employed for calculation. The collected data were then qualitatively analyzed to determine the effectiveness of Vicon use by identifying usage patterns, obstacles faced, and student perceptions of its impact on the learning process. Analysis of the SUS scores, usage patterns, challenges, and student perceptions revealed a low average SUS value. This indicates that while Vicon facilitates direct interaction and effective material delivery, there are still significant technical obstacles and low participation rates. These findings suggest the need for improvements in the technical aspects of Vicon and strategies to increase student engagement in online learning environments.

Signs, including pictograms, present in public space are intended to enforce a specific behavior. Due to their simplicity and unambiguity of the message, they can be an effective tool of public healthcare. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge referred to the meaning of the sign prohibiting alcohol consumption during pregnancy among first-year medical students who do not have vast knowledge at present level in this field. The study was conducted among academic youth in Poland, and assumed a 5% risk of error, hence, for p <0.05 the differences were considered statistically significant. Out of the total number, there were 1,123 questionnaire forms correctly completed and these were further selected for the final analysis, which comprised of 751 by women and 372 by men. Among the respondents, over 92% properly recognized the sign warning against the use of alcohol during pregnancy. Moreover, more than 45% declared previous contact with this sign and above 53% claimed that they already had knowledge of the sing’s meaning. The graphic form of the sign allows for its correct interpretation, thus products which may become harmful especially to pregnant women and fetus can be clearly and legibly marked.

Vitamin D regulates not only bone metabolism but also many other processes, including the functioning of lymphocytes. Human T cells have a nuclear receptor for vitamin D (VDR). Studies to date have shown significant seasonal variations in conventional T cell populations in humans living in temperate climates.

Objectives. The aim of the current paper was an assessment of seasonal changes of γδ T and iNKT cells in healthy individuals.

Material and methods. Peripheral blood was drawn from healthy volunteers – approx. 20 a month – and an additional cohort of 20 volunteers donated blood four times, once every four months. Percentages of γδ T and iNKT cells was assessed with flow cytometry.

Results. A pronounced accumulation of iNKT cells was noted in spring, the differences in γδ T cells were less notable. Vitamin D significantly hampers γδ T proliferation in vitro. Conclusions. In the presented article, we show seasonal variability within two populations of unconventional T lymphocytes – γδ T and iNKT.
The relationship between foreign direct investment and trade openness: Evidence from six developed economies
Authors: Yeboah Evans
Published: July 2024

Subject and purpose of work

In recent years, the competition for economic dominance globally has led developed economies increasingly to focus on outward foreign direct investment (FDI) and exports to other developing nations. However, there has been a notable research gap, with most studies concentrating on assessing the significance of FDI and trade openness in developing countries, while less attention has been paid to developed countries. This study explores the relationship between FDI and trade openness with economic growth in six developed economies.

Material and methods

Utilising annual data spanning from 1990 to 2022 from the World Bank, the study employs the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method for analysis.

Results

The estimated results indicate a negative long-run relationship and a positive short-run effect of FDI in the selected economies. Furthermore, the findings reveal a positive long-run association and a negative short-run impact of trade openness. The causality test indicated a bidirectional relationship between trade openness and economic growth.

Conclusions

The study suggests that various governments should enhance their investment environments to leverage the benefits of FDI inflows.

The authors discovered a new population of Hieracium lucidum Guss., a species hitherto considered strictly endemic to Monte Gallo. Useful elements for the ecological characterisation of the new population are provided. The stretch of carbonate coastline between the Egadi Islands and the western portion of the Province of Palermo displays a very high wealth of valuable floristic elements and represents an unicum in terms of both phytogeography and ecology. Considering the extreme fragmentation of the distribution pattern of many endemic and exclusive species that characterise this district, as in the case of H. lucidum, the authors suggest upgrading the strategies to protect the local botanical heritage, going beyond the species approach and thinking on a wider territorial scale.
Investigating the Link between Flow, Perceived Feedback and Performance in Art
Authors: Stamin Ioana
Published: July 2024

The current study set out to investigate the effect of flow experienced during artistic activities on performance. Furthermore, the study looked into how the relationship between flow and performance was affected by a moderating variable, namely the perceived feedback given by art teachers. Based on a non-experimental cross-sectional model, the research included a sample of 108 students of various art degrees. The results suggested that flow predicts performance in art (ΔR2 = .10, p < .001), while perceived feedback acts as a moderator on the link between flow and performance (F(3, 104) = 11.17, p < .001), having a buffering effect and not an enhancing effect as this study initially proposed (ΔR2 = .057, β = -.24, p < .01). Moreover, a separate moderation analysis was performed for each subscale of the perceived feedback measuring instrument. Some possible explanations of the buffering effect are presented based on the scientific literature.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination knowledge and attitudes among the Qasim region's population in Saudi Arabia to improve vaccine uptake and reduce HPV-related disease burden.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among primary healthcare visitors in the Qassim region. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed participants' demographic information, and knowledge about HPV disease, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccine.
Results: The mean age of participants was 32 years whereas 75% were females and 25% were males. The majority of participants had bachelor's degrees (58%) and high school diplomas (36%). Most of the participants were married (59%) while 31% were divorced. Knowledge about HPV and cervical cancer was low, with only 32.7% being aware of HPV and 37.2% knowing its link to genital warts. Furthermore, 38.4% were aware of the HPV vaccine, with females more informed than males (41.9% vs. 28.1%). Social media was the primary information source. Only 2.3% reported of participants getting vaccinated. The reasons for low vaccination included a lack of interest and concerns about side effects.
Conclusion: Efforts to improve awareness and vaccine uptake should target specific groups like males and younger individuals through tailored educational interventions. Integrating the vaccine into the national schedule and school-based programs can enhance acceptance. Collaboration between stakeholders is vital in promoting vaccine safety and dispelling misconceptions.
Prognostic significance of mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio in pediatric patients with acute kidney injury
Authors: Çeleğen Kübra , Çeleğen Mehmet
Published: July 2024

Background. Mean platelet volume (MPV), which is regarded as a marker of thrombocyte function and activation, is related to increased morbidity and mortality. In critically ill patients, the ratio of MPV to platelets can independently predict adverse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio (MPR) for mortality in children with acute kidney injury (AKI).
Methods. In this retrospective study, patients hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between March 2020 and June 2022 were evaluated. Patients between 1 month and 18 years of age with AKI were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were compared between survivors and non-survivors. The MPR ratio was calculated on the first and third days of admission to the intensive care unit. A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between MPR and mortality. ROC curves were used for the prediction performance of the logistic regression models and cut-off values of the thrombocyte indices.
Results. Sixty-three children with AKI were included in the study. The total mortality rate was 34.9% (n=22). MPR ratios were significantly higher in the non-survivors at admission (p=0.042) and at the 72nd hour (p=0.003). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, thrombocyte counts and MPR72h ratio were found to be independent risk parameters for adverse outcomes in children with AKI.
Conclusions. MPR is an inexpensive and practical marker that may predict the outcome of children with AKI.

Published: July 2024

The Egyptian Qolloquial Arabic is widely used to articulate Arabic song lyrics, which have phonological differences that can alter the sounds of spoken words. These differences occur in specific phonemes, including the phonem [q] and [ʤ] changing to the phonemes [ʔ] and [ɣ]. This research employs a comparative qualitative method and document analysis through Pra at analysis to obtain visualization results of speech sound errors when pronouncing the phonemes [ʔ] and [ɣ]. Them form of speech sound errors in this study is obtained through a comparative analysis of the phoneme sounds of Native Speaker and Non Arabic Speakers. The data on speech errors were collected from four stanzas of Egyptian Qolloquial Arabic song lyrics. The results of this study show substitution errors of the phoneme [ʔ], which canges into the phoneme [ʕ]. Meanwhile, the pronounciation of the phoneme [ɣ] is articulated like the phonem [g] in Indonesian. This study also shows errors related to the addition and deletion of speech sounds at the beginning of words. These errors refer to the phonetic structure components, including the nature and articulation area of the phoneme, as well as the acoustic components in the fundamental frequency and sound intensity. This research is a novelty in Arabic linguistics by comparatively analyzing phoneme speech errors of Non Arabic Speakers when articulating  Arabic songs. Therefore, it is hoped that future research can develop studies that analyze vocal speech errors in using Egyptian Qolloquial Arabic when articulating other Arabic songs.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh investasi terhadap pertumbuhan tenaga kerja dalam perspektif makro syariah. Investasi memiliki peran penting dalam mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan penciptaan lapangan kerja. Namun, dalam konteks ekonomi makro syariah, investasi juga harus memperhatikan prinsip Islam yang meliputi keadilan, keberlanjutan, dan kesetaraan aktivitas ekonomi. Dalam penelitian ini, kami melakukan tinjauan literatur terhadap studi yang relevan mengenai pengaruh investasi terhadap pertumbuhan tenaga kerja dalam perspektif makro syariah. Hasil tinjauan literatur menunjukkan bahwa investasi yang berbasis prinsip ekonomi Islam, seperti investasi sektor keuangan syariah, perbankan syariah, dan sektor riil yang halal dan beretika, memiliki potensi meningkatkan pertumbuhan tenaga kerja yang adil dan berkelanjutan. Temuan-temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa investasi syariah dapat menciptakan kesempatan kerja baru, mengembangkan keterampilan tenaga kerja, serta mendorong inklusi keuangan dalam rangka mencapai pertumbuhan ekonomi yang sejalan dengan prinsip ekonomi makro syariah. Hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa nilai koefisien determinasi R Square (R²) sebesar 0,029 yang berarti bahwa perubahan yang terjadi pada variabel terikat dapat dijelaskan oleh variabel bebas sebesar 2,9%, sedangkan sisanya 97,1% dijelaskan oleh variabel lain di luar variabel yang diteliti. Ini mengandung arti bahwa perubahan pertumbuhan yang terjadi pada tenaga kerja 2,9% secara simultan dipengaruhi oleh faktor investasi. Kemudian sisanya 97,1% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain. Limitasi pada penelitian yaitu hanya menggunakan data yang di batasi pada data tahun 2013-2022 dan ada kemungkin dalam penelitian ini tidak sepenuhnya mempertimbangkan semua faktor yang mempengaruhi investasi terhadap tenaga kerja.

Metal complexes of mixed ligands were prepared from a derivative of Cefepime and the amino acid glycine. The suggested structures of metal complexes of Cefepime derivatives and glycine with Co+2, Ni+2, Cu+2, Zn+2 and Cd+2 results were characterized by the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy and 1HNMR spectrum (300 MHZ, DMSO-d6), micro elemental analysis, magnetic moment, conductivity etc. The obtained results suggested that Cefepime reacted with metal ions as a bidentate ligand through the nitrogen of the β-lactam thiozolidine and carboxylate ion forming a five-membered ring and from oxygen and amine group of glycine as mixed ligand complexes. The shapes of the formed complexes were shown to be distorted octahedrals. Except for the L(gly)Co complex, it is tetrahedral. All the metal complexes showed significant antibacterial activity compared to the free ligand. The antibacterial test of the L(gly) Co complex showed higher activity than other metal complexes against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Candida albicans.

Published: July 2024

Heavy metal contamination in drinking water causes serious health issues. The hazards of heavy metals, especially iron contamination affect human health such as skin roughness, the stickiness of hair, weakness of teeth etc. The objective is to study the heavy metals contaminated water remediation process by mushroom cultivated bags. The mushroom cultivation used agro wastes; the cultivated residues were known as spent mushroom substrates. In the present experiment, Calocybe indica spent mushroom substrates to treat heavy metal contamination from drinking water. The iron-contaminated water concentration rapidly decreased from 0.231±0.01 to 0.134±0.00 with maximum exposure periods. The time exposures, or contact time, have increased and removal efficiency has improved along with the incubation time. The study data inferred more heavy metal adsorption than untreated water samples. An initial pH range of 4.0 to 5.0, a contact duration of 10 minutes, an initial iron (III) concentration of 50 mg/L and an absorbed dose half-saturation constant of 0.4 g were used. The current study showed that the increasing pH of the medium enhanced the adsorption capacity of the spent mushroom substrate. Similarly, the time exposures, or contact time, have increased and removal efficiency has grown along with the incubation time. These findings underscore the potential of utilizing spent mushroom substrates as an economical and portable biosorbent for rural water treatment applications.
Navigating Ultra-Large Virtual Chemical Spaces with Product-of-Experts Chemical Language Models
Authors: Nakata Shuya , Mori Yoshiharu , Tanaka Shigenori
Published: July 2024

Ultra-large virtual chemical spaces have emerged as a valuable resource for drug discovery, providing access to billions of make-on-demand compounds with high synthetic success rates. Chemical language models can potentially accelerate the exploration of these vast spaces through direct compound generation. However, existing models are not designed to navigate specific virtual chemical spaces and often overlook synthetic accessibility. To address this gap, we introduce product-of-experts (PoE) chemical language models, a modular and scalable approach to navigating ultra-large virtual chemical spaces. This method allows for controlled compound generation within a desired chemical space by combining a prior model pre-trained on the target space with expert and anti-expert models fine-tuned using external property-specific datasets. We demonstrate that the PoE chemical language model can generate compounds with desirable properties, such as those that favorably dock to the dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) and are predicted to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), while ensuring that the majority of generated compounds are present within the target chemical space. Our results highlight the potential of chemical language models for navigating ultra-large virtual chemical spaces, and we anticipate that this study will motivate further research in this direction.

Amino acid-based, sustainable organic nanozyme for allergic biomolecule detection
Authors: LEE DONG HOON , Kamruzzaman Mohammed
Published: July 2024

The newly emerged organic nanozymes overcome the chronic issues associated with inorganic nanozymes due to their sustainable properties. However, several limitations have been identified from recently developed agricultural-centered, organic compound-based nanozymes, including a narrow variety of constituent materials and a relatively larger physical diameter due to the monotonous fabrication strategy hurdling its diverse application. To mitigate these limitations, a novel organic compound-based nanozyme with smaller physical dimensions and a wide range of materials is desired. Herein, the amino acid-based, sustainable organic nanozyme (OA nanozyme) is introduced, which exhibits peroxidase-like catalytic activity. A modified fabrication process based on single chelation/polymer entanglement was developed for fast (up to 3 hours) nanozyme fabrication resulting in a smaller physical diameter with homogenous morphology (within 100nm, D90), and a designated surface charge (negatively charged in neutral pH). This OA nanozyme exhibits decent kinetic profiles (Km = 0.009 mM, H2O2), and has been successfully used for detecting allergic biomolecules using surface charge interaction and achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 21.37 pgmL-1, for histamine with higher selectivity, capable of sensing molecule within 3 minutes. It is envisioned that this amino acid-based organic nanozyme will be utilized for further sustainable applications.

Published: July 2024

The article delves into the examination of the integration and disintegration functions of religion within Kazakh society. Authors endeavor to address this issue by drawing upon the research conducted by Russian scholars. To delineate the role of the evolution of Tengrianism and Islam in Kazakhstan's history and the formation of the religious worldview of the Kazakh people, the perspectives of 19th-century and contemporary scholars are scrutinized. Employing comparative historical and structural-functional methods, the study unveils the potential impact of these religions on the socio-spiritual development of society. The article poses inquiries regarding the conflicting perceptions of traditional Islam's authority, precipitated by the actions of contemporary politicized radical Islamic factions, the proliferation of Islamophobia, and the low levels of education and religious literacy within society. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the activities of Neotengrians seeking to alter the tenets of Tengriantva and the missionary endeavors of neo-Protestant religious associations. Throughout the investigation, the authors assert that the activities of religions in Kazakhstan have contributed to an elevation in the religiosity of the populace, prompting shifts in the ethno-confessional landscape, and fostering trends in the dissemination of Islamophobias and Islamic radical ideologies. To safeguard religious stability and spiritual cohesion within the nation, the state is urged to incorporate religious education into secondary schools, specialized, and higher educational institutions, alongside the development of scientific frameworks aimed at reconciling the tensions between traditionalism and innovation within society.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the implementation of inter-country variability (ICV) in shaping human resource management (HRM) practices, specifically focusing on soft skills development within a legal entity in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Based on a thorough literature review, the research highlights the practical use of these inter-country differences and the importance of customized approaches in developing economies. The study involved a two-month case-study analysis with 30 participants. The Bochum Inventory of Personality and Competences (BIP) questionnaire and ICV-specific training techniques, including role-playing, case studies, presentations, and Design Jams, were used. The results showed significant improvement in participants’ soft skills, particularly in social competencies, indicating the effectiveness of the ICV-based program. The study tested and confirmed two hypotheses: that ICV may influence organization-specific incentives for soft skills development and that incorporating ICV-based differences enhances the acceptance of foreign HRM practices. The study’s methodology was validated using Cronbach’s Alpha and statistical t-tests (p<0.05). Participants expressed a strong willingness to continue their involvement, suggesting the potential for ongoing positive impact. This research not only contributes to the understanding of HRM practices but also provides a valuable methodology for future works on utilizing ICV in foreign HRM implementation in diverse organizational settings.
