Introduction. The countries of Central Asia, including Kyrgyzstan, are characterized by high prevalence and morbidity of HCV infection. Identification of HCV genotype and mutations associated with resistance to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) plays an important role either in conducting molecular epidemiological studies or choosing the treatment tactics.
The aim of the work was to research of the genotype diversity of HCV variants circulating in Kyrgyzstan and the identification among them the mutations associated with the development of resistance to DAA.
Materials and methods. 38 serum samples from HCV-infected residents of Kyrgyzstan were analyzed in this study. The nucleotide sequences of viral gene fragments (NS3, NS5A, NS5B) were determined by Sangers sequencing and deposited in the international GenBank database under the numbers ON841497ON841534 (NS5B), ON841535ON841566 (NS5A), and ON841567ON841584 (NS3).
Results. The HCV subtypes 1b (52.6%; 95% CI 37.367.5%), 3a (44.8%; 95% CI 30.260.2%) and 1a (2.6%; 95% CI 0.513.4%) are circulating in Kyrgyzstan. 37% (95% CI 1959%) of subtype 1b isolates had C316N mutation in the NS5A gene; 46% (95% CI 2370%) had F37L mutation in the NS5A gene; 45% (95% CI 2272%) had Y56F mutation in the NS3 gene. Among subtype 3a isolates, resistance-associated mutations in NS5B fragment were not found. 22% (95% CI 945%) of subtype 3a sequences had a Y93H mutation in the NS5A gene. A combination of Y56F + Q168 + I170 mutations was identified among all sequences of NS3 gene. DAA resistance mutations were not found in NS3, NS5A, NS5B genes of subtype 1a sequence.
Conclusion. A rather high prevalence of mutations associated with resistance or significant decrease in sensitivity to DAA among HCV sequences from Kyrgyzstan was shown. Updating of data on HCV genetic diversity is necessary for timely planning of measures to combat epidemic.

Authors: Ushkalenko Nikita D. , Ersh Anna V. , Filatov Pavel V. , Poltavchenko Alexander G.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. Following the successful eradication of smallpox, mass vaccination against this disease was discontinued in 1980. The unvaccinated population continues to be at risk of infection due to military use of variola virus or exposure to monkeypox virus in Africa and non-endemic areas. In cases of these diseases, rapid diagnosis is of great importance, since the promptness and effectiveness of therapeutic and quarantine measures depend on it.
The aim of work is to develop a kit of reagents for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for fast and highly sensitive detection of orthopoxviruses (OPV) in clinical samples.
Materials and methods. The efficiency of virus detection was evaluated by single-stage ELISA in the cryolisate of CV-1 cell culture samples infected with vaccinia, cowpox, rabbitpox, and ectromelia viruses, as well as in clinical samples of infected rabbits and mice.
Results. The method of rapid ELISA was shown to allow the detection of OPV in crude viral samples in the range of 5.0 1025.0 103 PFU/ml, and in clinical samples with a viral load exceeding 5 103 PFU/ml.
Conclusions. The assay involves a minimum number of operations and can be performed within 45 minutes, which makes it possible to use it in conditions of a high level of biosecurity. Rapid ELISA method was developed using polyclonal antibodies, which significantly simplifies and reduces the cost of manufacturing a diagnostic system.
The Contro of Esca : Status and Perspectives
Authors: Di Marco Stefano , Mazzullo Alessandro , Calzarano Francesco , Cesari Augusto
Published: July 2023

The development of an effective control strategy for esca greatly depends on major progress in understanding
the disease biology and epidemiology. Experimental trials were carried out in vineyards and single infected
vines in order to evaluate the effectiveness of different fungicides, application methods and cultural practices in
controlling esca: experiences with sodium arsenite, dinitro-orthocresol, fosetyl Al, triazoles and first attempts with
Trichoderma are discussed. Ongoing trials show promising results with fosetyl Al activity against Phaeoacremonium
spp. under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, with the prospect of a favourable effect on esca control. Research is
now being focused on the potential of a control strategy to prevent or reduce the establishment and development of
the disease. The management of esca should be based on the age of the plant, the stage of the infection as well as the
degree of spread of the disease.
On the Factors that May Have Influenced the Esca Epidemic in the Eighties in Tuscany
Authors: Surico G. , Bandinelli R. , Braccini P. , Di Marco S. , Marchi G. , Mugnai L. , Parrini C.
Published: July 2023

Tuscany is one of the viticultural regions in Italy most severely affected by esca. The epidemic started in
1986, and at the time it was explained as being caused by the great frost that hit Tuscany and many other parts of
Italy the year before. Now, several years later, with a clearer understanding of the disease in the light of more recent
research, we re-examined the cause of the epidemic and ask which factors could have been more likely explanations
of that epidemic – factors such as the chemicals then used to control other vine diseases in Italy (active ingredients,
dosages, times of application), or, contemporary, methods to produce propagation material, changes in cultural practices,
or the rootstock that were then used in new vineyards and so on. We found little evidence that there was a
direct correlation between the cold damage suffered in 1985 and the increase in esca disease later. We suggest that
contributing factors causing the epidemic included the selective activity of fungicides used in the vineyard, which
may have led to a build-up of inoculum of the fungi causing esca, and poor quality planting material arising from
large scale propagation, resulting in vines more susceptible to weak pathogens such as Phaeomoniella chlamydospora.
Wood Discoloration and Decay in Grapevines with Esca Proper and Their Relationship with Foliar Symptoms
Authors: Calzarano F. , Di Marco S.
Published: July 2023

From two Italian vineyards affected with esca proper, vineyard A (Borghi, FC, Emilia-Romagna) and
vineyard B (Controguerra, TE, Abruzzo), located in different wine-growing areas and with different cultivars, 165
vines were collected that had shown the leaf symptoms of esca proper in the years before. Each vine was inspected
and the cubic volume of the main symptoms in the trunk was measured: discoloration, including the various forms of
dark necrosis, and decay. In each vine of both vineyards the extent of wood deterioration was compared with the
severity of the leaf symptoms recorded in the years before the vines were cut down. The existence of a correlation
between discoloration and decay in the wood colonisation process was explored. No correlation was found between
the severity of the wood deterioration and the severity of the leaf symptoms. The typical leaf symptoms were found
also on vines that had only wood discoloration without any decay. There was no correlation between wood discoloration
and decay in vineyard A in which the vine wood was more degraded, with a greater incidence of decay. In
vineyard B, however, in which the incidence of decay was less, a correlation between decay and discoloration was
potentially found.
A OFICINA HABILITADA

Nesse texto, pretende-se apresentar antecedentes da abordagem filológica que inspirou os estudos gramscianos desde finais da década de 70 do século passado. É objetivo identificar a quais antíteses ela foi submetida, antes mesmo de almejar se tornar hegemônica na interpretação da obra gramsciana. O objetivo desse texto é apresentar ao público brasileiro os antecedentes da corrente filológica que elaborou o método de trabalho o qual, hoje, é inspiração para realização da chamada Edição Nacional dos Cadernos do Cárcere, atualmente em fase de elaboração na Itália. Este escrito está dividido em três partes. Na primeira se faz uma tentativa de estabelecer os vínculos históricos entre a filologia tradicional e sua vertente genético-crítica. Na segunda e terceira parte trata-se, respectivamente, das contribuições de Gianfranco Contini e Dante Isella na concepção do método que consagraria seus formuladores, a ponto de ser estruturante para edições críticas de autores clássicos da literatura renascentista e, mais importante para o nosso caso, de Antonio Gramsci.
Geopolítica da Destruição

Published: July 2023

O artigo pretende analisar, inicialmente, a situação brasileira antes e durante os momentos de surgimento da Nova Ordem Mundial nos anos 1990 e seus significados internos em termos de sociedade, economia e política e os grandes os grandes interesses em jogo. Com isso é dado o objetivo deste: a geopolítica como expressão dos interesses e lutas internas marcadas pelas classes sociais. Esse objetivo não constitui novidade alguma, pois, neste ponto, liga-se à tradição de Carl von Clausewitz: não só a guerra, mas seus processos condutores espaço-sociais (geopolítica) são extensões ou continuações da política por outros meios. Para conduzir este processo o artigo percorrerá questões socioculturais do Brasil, as transformações políticas e econômicas pós-ditadura de 1964 e, através desta análise, induzir uma análise geopolítica marxista conducente ao agora-já da ordem internacional posta.
The triple construction in the Diwan of Tarfa bin Al-Abd, a systematic reading in Arabic expressions
Authors: محسن حسن
Published: July 2023

The morphological structure is considered one of the main structural pillars from which the linguistic formation of the speech of the Arabs in general and the language of poetry in particular is composed, because it is functionally related to the vocal tool that the writer invests to represent the meanings that swell in himself verbally, as well as its connection to the semantic aspect that secretes his psychological response to formulas in the performance of meaning, especially if the uses respond to These formulas are semantic with the nature of his presence in the sentence_ Therefore, this issue occupied the attention of morphological studies, showing the interdependence of a type of formulas in the formation of speech and the extent of the functional level that it bestowed on its structure. Likewise, this study required the highest degree of attention due to the importance of its origin (noun and verb), as they are the two main elements in the composition of the sentence and the formation of Phrase

Authors: Yunissov Yersin , Imankul Aizhan , Urunbassarova Eleonora , Rakimzhanova Sayana , De Velasco Judith Josefina Hernández García , Seisekenova Ainash , Tursynbaeva Aigul
Published: July 2023

The study aims to establish the ideas of Kazakh Generation Z students about a modern person’s life success and determine their relationship with moral qualities. The authors utilize the methods of document analysis, survey, and data analysis. The study is conducted on 160 students in two different specialties, economics and the humanities. The results demonstrate that economics students are more likely to note qualities associated with socioeconomic status and the attitude to activity and work, while humanities students are more focused on the qualities of moral consciousness and the attitude to other people. The study also shows that some young Kazakh people deem immoral qualities important in achieving life success. Kazakh student youth believes that negative qualities prompt people to commit immoral actions and deeds, while more positive qualities, on the contrary, shield the individual from immoral actions. The authors conclude that the young Gen Z in Kazakhstan continues to adhere to traditional cultural values and considers them important in achieving success. However, traditional values are not static and may change depending on the professional and regional socialization environment of Gen Z youth.

Gender violence is a problem that has been increasing in recent years as a consequence of intolerance and cultural diversity in personal and social relationships. The aim of this study was to describe the scientific evidence on gender violence between intimate partners. The methodology used was the narrative review and analysis of articles published between 2019 and 2022 in the Scopus, EBSCO and Jane's databases, obtaining a total of 21 articles. The findings show that the existence of gender violence is a social problem that causes frustrations transferred to the partner, most of whom are women who report the various types of violence: physical, economic, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse. The main characteristics of violence are related to male dominance in the relationship, social isolation and subjugation of power due to economic, educational and cultural deficiencies, among others. It is concluded that exposure to violence requires timely psychological interventions that can mitigate the impact on mental health, which is why a comprehensive policy response is needed to benefit vulnerable populations.

Background: The culture of the school is one of the most significant factors to consider when trying to create an efficient learning and working environment for the staff, teachers, and students at the schools. Aim: The purpose of the research was explained to the behavior of students with regard to school culture in high schools. Methods: The study was conducted in Hue, Vietnam, from 2021 to 2022, and it sampled two high schools with a total of 339 students and 55 teachers. Results:  The research questionnaire was prepared by teachers and students at the high school level, and it was based on the behavioral manifestations of high school students. According to the instructors and other students, the students have a sense of cultural conduct. This includes respecting adults, including their parents, teachers, and other school officials, as well as dressing in a manner that is acceptable for their age and the situation. Nonetheless, there are still some children who do not dress well, who are not appropriate for the situation, who behave inappropriately toward teachers and other school officials, and who are likely to pick up risky behaviors such as smoking, gambling, and other such activities. Conclusion and Implications: The findings of this study on the behaviors and cultural expressions of high school students have made it possible for educators and teachers to design curriculum that is suitable for their students.

An Empirical Study on the Creative Learning Environment Fostering Student Creativity: A Multiple Mediation Analysis Using Smart PLS 4
Authors: Wang Wenqing , Tie Fatt Hee , Omar Intan Marfarrina Binti , Chen Wei , Li Pandao , Shi Chundong
Published: July 2023

Creativity should be seen as a critical skill for students in the twenty-first century and a stated objective of formal education that supports students in navigating an ambiguous future. There is evidence that a creative learning environment would encourage students to be more creative in the classroom, but research is lacking to support this. This study examines whether a creative learning environment will encourage students to be more creative in three ways: learning goal orientation, network links, and knowledge sharing, based on Amabile's componential theory of creativity. A total of 388 Chinese university students participated in the surveys. The collected data were analysed by SmartPLS 4, the approach of multiple mediation analysis. The results demonstrate that a creative learning environment makes students more focused on learning goals and more willing to share information, significantly positively affecting student creativity. However, network ties do not play a role in the link between a creative learning environment and student creativity. In the end, this study discusses the theoretical and educational implications of the results, the drawbacks of the study, and recommendations for future studies.

Tertiary Education Tax, Information Technology Development Levy and Funding of Educational System in Nigeria
Authors: Omodero Cordelia Onyinyechi , Adeyemo Kingsley Aderemi , Ekundayo Olugbenga , Omesue Chukwudi Emmanuel , Eriabie Sylvester , Lawrence Imeokparia
Published: July 2023

Due to poor funding of education in Nigeria, there has been a lot of instability in the educational system which ranges from frequent industrial revolt to a complete shutdown of schools in the country. The situation has become unbearable for families that now have their wards sitting at home due to no academic activities going on in the institutions of learning. This is not just because of poor governance but has been majorly attributed to limited sources of income available for school funding. The study assesses the effectiveness of tertiary education tax and information technology development levy in providing the needed funds for schools. The secondary data employed for this study cover a period from 2010 to 2021 and the multiple regression model is applied for the analysis. The result reveals that education in Nigeria requires more funds as the tertiary education tax lacks the capacity to adequately fund academic activities in the country. However, information technology development levy exerts a considerable impact on education financing. Therefore, the study proposes that the government should exploit other funding opportunities from other national income sources to augment the tertiary education tax. Also, the government should improve the fiscal planning for education expenditure by reducing the funds for other less essential expenditure responsibilities in the annual budget. The study also suggests that the government should endeavor to address the issues affecting the educators so that they can continue their classroom activities without grievances.

Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan.

 

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pada tahap awal, ditemukan bahwa perencanaan program sekolah yang dilakukan oleh tim masih mengacu pada program sebelumnya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengembangan perencanaan program sekolah untuk mengakomodasi kebutuhan saat ini. Saat ini, sekolah telah menyusun rencana program sekolah yang dibuat oleh tim TPMPS, kemudian disosialisasikan kepada tim manajemen untuk mendapatkan masukan dan saran. Perencanaan program sekolah, yang juga dikenal sebagai RKS (Rencana Kerja Sekolah), didasarkan pada hasil rapor pendidikan dan peta jalan/RKJM (Rencana Kerja Jangka Panjang).

Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pentingnya memperhatikan skala prioritas utama kegiatan di sekolah saat menyusun perencanaan program sekolah. Dengan demikian, program-program dapat berjalan sesuai rencana. Program-program yang telah diusulkan namun belum terpenuhi dapat dimasukkan dalam usulan program untuk tahun berikutnya.

ABSTRAK

Latar belakang yang mendorong penelitian ini adalah guru dalam mengajar di kelas belum memaksimalkan penggunaan media interaktif dikarenakan terbatasnya kemampuan guru untuk membuat media pembelajaran berdasarkan powerpoint. Sehingga, peserta didik kurang berminat mengikuti pembelajaran matematika terlebih pada materi penjumlahan dan pengurangan yang merupakan dasar sangat penting. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk meningkatkan minat belajar peserta didik melalui penggunaan media yang menarik dan interaktif. Metode penelitian yag digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan sampel penelitian sejumlah 28 peserta didik kelas 1 SD N Plamongansari 02. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan peneliti yaitu observasi, wawancara tidak terstruktur, angket respon peserta didik, dan dokumentasi. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan skor 1.329 dan total skor maksimal 2.240. Angket minat belajar yang sudah didapat kemudian dinyatakan dalam bentuk persentase. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan angka 79,1% dan tergolong dalam kriteria sangat tinggi. Artinya penggunaan media PPT interaktif memiliki dampak positif terhadap minat belajar peserta didik dan memungkinkan peserta didik untuk terlibat secara aktif dalam pembelajaran.

This research was conducted due to the low ability of students to speak, including in presenting responses to review texts by considering structure and oral aspects. Factors causing this include a lack of confidence in expressing main ideas in front of the public, as well as the ineffectiveness of teaching methods used by educators. One teaching method that can improve students' self-confidence is expressive writing therapy. This study used a quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test designs and a control group. The research results showed that students' abilities improved in presenting responses to review texts by considering structure and oral aspects. There was an increase in the average pre-test score from 27.50 to 83.35 in the post-test for the experimental class. There was a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class, with an average post-test score of 85.35 for the experimental class compared to 41.62 for the control class.
Les alternatives à l'anticoagulation par héparine en hémodialyse intermittente et leur application potentielle chez le patient de réanimation
Authors: Ferriere Elsa , Joly Dominique , Touam Malik , Guéry Bruno

L’hémodialyse intermittente (HDI) nécessite habituellement une anticoagulation systémique transitoire par héparine, fractionnée ou non, afin d’éviter la thrombose du circuit extracorporel. Chez les patients à risque hémorragique élevé, différents procédés permettent d’effectuer une HDI sans anticoagulation systémique. Deux procédés donnent d’excellents résultats, avec une fréquence de coagulation du circuit extracorporel rapportée très faible, mais ont l’inconvénient d’une mise en œuvre technique significative : (i) l’anticoagulation régionale au citrate (qui expose potentiellement à une accumulation de citrate tri-sodique) ; (ii) l’utilisation d’un dialysat enrichi en citrate sans calcium et sans magnésium, avec réinfusion de calcium et de magnésium en fonction de la dialysance ionique. D’autres procédés ont l’avantage d’une mise en œuvre très simple : (i) réduction de la durée de séance d’HDI à 2h, en augmentant si nécessaire la fréquence hebdomadaire des séances ; (ii) des séances d’HDI plus longues (4 heures), en utilisant une membrane AN69 coatée à l’héparine et/ou un dialysat commercial contenant du citrate et du calcium, ou à défaut en changeant systématiquement le circuit extracorporel et la membrane après la deuxième heure. Bien que très utilisée, la technique de rinçages itératifs ou de prédilution du circuit extracorporel par du soluté salé isotonique a une efficacité modeste.

Introduction to The Problem: The use of QR-Code is currently quite widely used for payments and is starting to gain considerable traction in Indonesia. Talking about QR Payment payments, Bank Indonesia also innovated a QR-Code-based payment system called QRIS.Purpose/Objective Study: The research aims to analyze the significant influence of knowledge, benefit and risk on customer interest in using the BSI QRIS electronic payment system at BSI KCP Indrapura.Design/Methodology/Approach: Research methods with quantitative methods described in multiple linear regression analysis models. Primary data by distributing questionnaires to respondents as a sample from August 2022 to December 2022. Sampling design with simple random sampling technique. Using the Slovin formula, the number of respondents who became a sample was 90 people for further analysis.Findings: The results of the research are as follows: (1)The estimation model shows an R2 value of 0.770 which represents the value of the coefficient of determination. This means that 77% of the dependent variable variation is able to be explained by the independent variable in this model. The remaining 23% is explained by other causes that are not included in the model; 2) The regression model on the independent variable simultaneously influences the dependent variable, so that the independent variable regression model can be used to predict the dependent variable; and (3) This research resulted in the output that there is a significant influence between the benefit on customer interest in using the BSI QRIS electronic payment system at BSI KCP Indrapura. However, it is not knowledge and risk that do not show a significant influence, so it can be concluded that the two have no relationship at all to customer interest in using the BSI QRIS electronic payment system at BSI KCP Indrapura.
