Serce Jezusa i „serdeczne afekty” w poezji religijnej polskiego baroku
Authors: Czechowicz Agnieszka
Published: November 2024

W artykule przedstawione zostały sceny przebicia Boku i Serca Pana Jezusa, pochodzące z poematów pasyjnych Wacława Potockiego i Wespazjana Kochowskiego oraz poetyckie wizje więzi Serca Bożego z sercem człowieka ukazane w żywotach wybranych świętych pochodzących z rękopiśmiennego cyklu hagiograficznego pt. Nowe niebo duchowne (1692). Autorka zauważa, że o ile w II połowie XVII w. oddziaływanie samego nabożeństwa do Najświętszego Serca na wyobraźnię poetycką polskich twórców jest jeszcze słabo widoczne, o tyle bardzo interesujące owoce literackie wydaje połączenie inspiracji kultem przebitego Serca Zbawiciela z pobożnością kordialną – nurtem pobożności o wyraźnych rysach ascetyczno-mistycznych, osadzonym w teologii chrystologicznej i ukierunkowanym na pobudzanie wiernych do zgłębiania tajemnic miłości Zbawiciela ku człowiekowi.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore secondary school English language teachers’ reflective teaching practices, techniques, and challenges in Bishoftu Town, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. A descriptive cross-sectional case study using mixed research methods (quantitative and qualitative) is the design of this study. Primary data were collected from 43 English teachers and 6 English department heads, selected through comprehensive and purposive sampling, respectively. Data collection methods included questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 20, employing frequencies, percentages, and mean scores. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The results revealed that the majority of English teachers had low engagement in reflective teaching and rarely used techniques such as audio-video recording, journal writing, and peer observation, while completely neglecting student feedback. The main challenges identified were lack of knowledge, skills, and experience; lack of institutional support and commitment; and absence of clear guidelines. The study recommends institutional commitment to reinforce and design tailor-made training based on clear guidelines at regional and national levels.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to determine school administrators' opinions on the risks and opportunities for school management resulting from the global pandemic (Covid-19), which affected the world in 2019. In this research based on the qualitative paradigm principles, phenomenological design was used. The study group involved 51 volunteer school administrators working in public schools under the Ministry of National Education in Bingol and Mus provinces, and determined by criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods. For the interview form used in the study, research permission was obtained from Ataturk Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee on 18/07/2024 with number: 05. The study data were collected by an interview form prepared by the researchers and including questions about the respondents' demographic characteristics and two open-ended questions to determine their opinions on sub-problems of the study. The data obtained were analysed by content analysis technique (MAXQDA). The research concluded that the 2019-2020 pandemic posed not only risks but also opportunities for school management, and it demonstrated the need to update some knowledge of school administrators, and it enabled to gain necessary experience for effective management in possible closures during war, epidemic, disaster, etc. in the future. The study suggests that conducting similar studies in different institutions will be beneficial for more effective management activities in terms of risks and opportunities during possible closures.
The reorientation of Venezuelan foreign policy during the Punto Fijo era: A focus on South American integration
Authors: Soares Nogara Tiago
Published: November 2024

Este artículo examina la transformación de la política exterior venezolana durante la era del “Punto Fijo” (1958-1998), centrándose en el giro hacia vínculos más estrechos con las naciones sudamericanas. Tradicionalmente, el enfoque regional de Venezuela se concentraba en las regiones andina y caribeña. Sin embargo, la década de los noventa presenció una reorientación estratégica gradual que expandió los vínculos de Venezuela hacia Brasil y el Mercosur. Este trabajo explora los factores clave que impulsaron este cambio. El análisis se estructura en torno a cuatro pilares: 1) un marco teórico para el estudio del regionalismo latinoamericano y la política exterior, 2) una investigación del régimen político del Punto Fijo y sus prioridades diplomáticas iniciales, 3) el impacto de la crisis económica de finales de los años ochenta en las políticas gubernamentales, y 4) la subsecuente rearticulación de la política exterior venezolana hacia las instituciones regionales sudamericanas, en particular hacia Brasil y el Mercosur. Este estudio llena un vacío en la literatura académica al destacar el origen del “giro hacia el Sur” de Venezuela antes de la presidencia de Hugo Chávez.
Molecular genetic and morphological characteristics of Micractinium thermotolerans and M. inermum (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) from pyroclastic deposits of the Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia)

Published: November 2024

During the study of algal diversity in pyroclastic deposits of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Chlorella-like green algae strains VCA-72 and VCA-93 were isolated from samples collected from along the Baydarnaya river bed on the Shiveluch volcano in 2018 and at the outlet of thermal vapors along the edge of the caldera on the southern slope of the Gorely volcano in 2020. Identification of the strains was carried out within the framework of an integrative approach using microscopic and molecular genetic methods, including preliminary taxon identification, obtaining nucleotide sequences of the small subunit and the internal transcribed spacer rRNA, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees and secondary structures of the ITS1 and ITS2 rRNA regions. On the phylogenetic tree, strain VCA-93 was clustered in the Micractinium thermotolerans species clade. No differences were found when comparing the helical domain models of ITS1 and ITS2 in M. thermotolerans. Strain VCA-72 occupied a basal position in the M. inermum clade. The secondary structure patterns of the helices of strain VCA-72 were generally similar to those of M. inermum, but intraspecific variability was noted, mainly due to substitutions in the apical and lateral loops. Five hCBC substitutions were found in the helical regions of the studied M. inermum strains, while no CBC substitutions were found. A detailed analysis of morphology and life cycle allowed us to identify the characteristics of the cells in aging cultures: their size was significantly higher than in vegetative ones and they were pear-shaped, oval, and ellipsoidal with a shallow, wide constriction in the center. In addition, cells with colorless lipid droplets were detected in aging cultures of both species. The ability to synthesize and accumulate lipids indicates the great potential of the strains for the production of biodiesel fuel. A review of the habitats of previous and new findings allowed us to note the ecological plasticity of the studied species. The results obtained complement the information on the biogeography of the species: this is the first record of M. inermum for the territory of Russia, and that of M. thermotolerans, for the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Galliformes and Anseriformes are two branches of the Galloanserae group, basal to other Neognathae. In contrast to Galliformes, Anseriformes have not been thoroughly researched by cytogenetic methods. This report is focused on representatives of Anseriformes and the evolution of their chromosome sets. Detailed cytogenetic analysis (G-banding, C-banding, and fluorescence in situ hybridization) was performed on three duck species: the northern pintail (Anas acuta, 2n = 80), the mallard (A. platyrhynchos, 2n = 80), and the common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula, 2n = 80). Using stone curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus, 2n = 42, Charadriiformes) chromosome painting probes, we created homology maps covering macrochromosomes and some microchromosomes. The results indicated a high level of syntenic group conservation among the duck genomes. The two Anas species share their macrochromosome number, whereas in B. clangula, this number is increased due to fissions of two ancestral elements. Additionally, in this species, the presence of massive heterochromatic blocks in most macroautosomes and sex chromosomes was discovered. Localization of clusters of ribosomal DNA and telomere repeats revealed that the duck karyotypes contain some microchromosomes that bear ribosomal RNA genes and/or are enriched for telomere repeats and constitutive heterochromatin. Dot plot (D-GENIES) analysis confirmed the established view about the high level of syntenic group conservation among Anatidae genomes. The new data about the three Anatidae species add knowledge about the transformation of macro- and sex chromosomes of Anseriformes during evolution.
Prevalence of AZFс Y chromosome microdeletions and association with spermatogenesis in Russian men from the general population

Published: November 2024

The Y chromosome contains a set of genes with testis-specific expression that are responsible for the development of testes and spermatogenesis, and it is the most important target in the search for genetic causes of male infertility. Most of these genes are located in the “azoospermia factor” AZF locus (regions AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc) on the long arm of the Y chromosome. Microdeletions of the Y chromosome, leading to the removal of the entire AZF locus as well as one or more regions (complete deletions), are one of the leading causes of spermatogenesis impairment and infertility. However, the role of partial AZFc deletions (gr/gr, b2/b3, b1/b3) in spermatogenesis failure is unclear, and their impact on spermatogenesis varies between populations. The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency of various types of AZFc microdeletions and to search for associations with spermatogenesis parameters in men of Slavic ethnicity from the general Russian population (n = 700, average age 25.8 years). To identify AZF microdeletions, the presence/ absence of 15 STS markers was analyzed using multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. Age, weight, height, and the volume, concentration, total count, proportion of motile and morphologically normal spermatozoa in the ejaculate were recorded for all participants. In the studied sample, 19.9 % (139/700) of men were found to have AZFc microdeletions, of which 16.7 % (117/700) were carriers of a partial b2/b3 deletion, 3.0 % (21/700) had a partial gr/gr deletion, and 0.14 % (1/700) had a complete b2/b4 deletion. Neither AZFa nor AZFb microdeletions nor other types of AZF deletions were detected. The overall frequency of all types of AZFc deletions, as well as each type of partial microdeletion, b2/b3 and gr/gr, did not differ in the groups of azoospermia, severe oligozoospermia (≤5.0 mill/ml), oligozoospermia (5.0 < SC < 16.0 mill/ml), and normal sperm concentration (≥16.0 mill/ml). Comparison of semen parameters in groups with different types of partial AZFc deletions and the control group (without deletions) also did not reveal significant differences. Thus, partial AZFc microdeletions b2/b3 and gr/gr do not have a significant impact on spermatogenesis in Slavic men. It is suggested that in Slavs, partial AZFc microdeletions b2/b3 and gr/gr are fixed in Y haplogroups N3 and R1a, respectively, and their negative impact on spermatogenesis is balanced by other genetic factors. The higher frequency of partial AZFc deletions (19.7 %) in Slavs compared to European populations (7.3 %) established in our study may be explained by the widespread distribution of these Y haplogroups in the Slavic population of Russia.
ÉTICA DO HISTORIADOR A LUZ DE QUESTÕES TRAUMÁTICAS E SENSÍVEIS: uma breve reflexão
Authors: Santos Anabele Cristine Lisboa , Bicalho Lucas Matheus Araujo
Published: November 2024

A breve reflexão a seguir tem como objetivo pensar sobre o papel do historiador e o compromisso ético do seu ofício. Para tanto, é necessário construir um panorama geral em torno do próprio fazer historiográfico, parafraseando de Certeau: o que fabricaria um historiador? E como essa prática se relaciona à responsabilidade social? Faz parte da pesquisa histórica o trabalho direto com tudo aquilo que é produzido pelos seres humanos, permitindo acesso à compreensão de significados das suas ações do passado e do presente. As fontes históricas são fundamentais nesse processo. Uma das abordagens relevantes de análise é o estudo de caso, no qual daremos maior ênfase neste trabalho. Para sustentar teoricamente as discussões, serão utilizados: Michel de Certeau, com a obra “A operação Historiográfica” e  Carlo Ginzburg com “Unus testis: o extermínio dos judeus e o princípio da realidade”.

Published: November 2024

The changes in the contemporary world require teachers to develop new teaching approaches. These requirements can only be met with improvement in teachers’ professional training and assessment activities. Assessment activities are a key aspect of professional competence in the education process. Teachers and their students from the first gymnasium in Petropavlovsk participated in the study. The study employed a mixed-method approach over three years. The study aimed to answer seven research questions grounded in the literature by developing a training program and experimentally testing it among teachers. At the onset of the program, all teachers were at the critical (lowest) level for the formation of assessment activities. With consistent training and support, the teacher’s level of formation improved significantly, even to the optimal (highest) level. The study revealed four components of evaluation: motivational; informative; technological; and reflexive. These components were embedded in various criteria, indicators, and research methods. The study also revealed the questions commonly asked by teachers during the assessment and when engaged in student participation. This is the only study that has simultaneously examined teacher competence, interdisciplinary assessment methods, teacher development, and student cognition. The theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the integration of planetary identity into the teacher education curriculum, focusing on its impact on future educators' professional identity. The study involved 448 university students in Kazakhstan, who were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental groups participated in courses emphasizing ethnic values and multicultural education, while the control groups followed traditional pedagogical content. The results indicated that the planetary identity of students in the experimental groups, particularly those in group E1, developed more significantly compared to those in the control groups. This study confirms that planetary identity can be conceptualized and fostered in teacher education through structured courses that promote multicultural values and global awareness. The findings suggest that incorporating planetary identity into the curriculum can positively influence teachers' professional and personal growth, aligning them with global educational goals. Future research should explore the long-term effects of such educational interventions and refine the measures used to assess planetary identity in diverse educational contexts.

Published: November 2024

Modules are algebraic structures formed from Abelian groups and rings as scalars. A module is a Noetherian module if it satisfies the ascending chain condition on its submodules. An R-module M is called an almost Noetherian module if every true submodule in M is finitely generated. There is a new class of r-Noetherian modules. Let\ R be a ring and M an R-module, M is said to be an r-Noetherian module if every r-submodule of M is finitely generated. The symbol r refers to the true ideal of the ring with Ann\ a=0. The properties to be studied are the ascending chain properties of r-Noethetian modules. Furthermore,, the relationship of r-Noetherian module with Noetherian module and almost Noetherian module will be studied. This research uses a literature study approach. The stages carried out in this study begin with completing the proof of the lemma relating to the ascending chain on the r-Noetherian Module. Furthermore, completing the proof of the proposition regarding the relationship of the r-Noetherian module with the Noetherian module and almost Noetherian module. The property of ascending chain on r-Noetherian module is that every ascending chain line of r-submodules on r-Noetherian module will stop at a finite step. Furthermore, the connection of r-Noetherian module with Noetherian module and almost Noetherian module is mutual subset

Published: November 2024

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different lead (Pb) concentrations on some growth characteristics of French marigold (Tagetes patula L.). The research was carried out at Siirt University (Türkiye) Faculty of Agriculture, Agricultural Biotechnology Laboratory. In the study, French marigold (T. patula L.) seeds were used as plant material. Five different concentrations of lead (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm) were considered as research subjects. 7 pots were used for each concentration, and the laboratory experiment was set up in a randomized complete plots design with 7 replications. In the experiment, a 2:2:1 ratio peat:sand: soil mixture was used as the plant growth medium. Plant height (cm), stem thickness (mm), the number of branches per plant, the number of flowers per plant, single flower weight, and plant fresh and dry weights (g) were evaluated. According to the results, the difference between Pb concentrations was found to be significant in terms of all parameters except for the number of branches, and fresh and dry plant weights. In the study, according to Pb concentrations, plant height values were between 46.25-52.50 cm, stem thickness was between 4.13-5.77 mm, the number of branches was between 4.25-5.75 per plant, the number of flowers was between 3.25-6.25 per plant, single flower weight was between 0.84-1.49 g, plant fresh weight was between 11.66-14.32 g and plant dry weight varied between 1.10-1.29 g. In the study, promising results were obtained that the French marigold can be used for phytoremediation in Pb-contaminated areas.
Teaching students to write academic papers through the use of generative artificial intelligence tools
Authors: Khaustov O. N. , Tormyshova T. Yu. , Sukhanova N. I.
Published: November 2024

Importance. Currently, there is an increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in foreign languages teaching, particularly in writing. Generative AI stands out for its ability to provide users with evaluative feedback, which allows students to correct and improve their written work. Some scholars have argued for the inclusion of extracurricular interaction with generative AI in traditional teaching methods in order to utilize its linguistic and didactic potential for revising drafts. However, the effectiveness of these teaching methods has not always been a focus of scientific research. The purpose of the study is to devise a methodology for instructing students in writing in a foreign language, incorporating their extracurricular engagement with one of the instruments of generative AI, which provides feedback. Additionally, it aims to test the efficacy of this approach during experimental instruction.

Materials and Methods. The study involved second-year students of the specialty 45.05.01 “Translation and Translation Studies” of Lipetsk State Technical University. The participants of the control group (N = 25) are trained according to the traditional teaching method of writing in a foreign language, which does not involve the use of generative AI tools. The participants of the experimental group (N = 25) used the author’s methodology, which implies their extracurricular interaction with one of the tools of generative AI (ChatGPT 4.0, Criterion, YandexGPT). The aspects of control in the study are the following writing skills: a) writing a business letter; b) writing an essay of a contrastive and comparative nature; c) writing an essay of an argumentative nature; d) writing a film or book review. The Student’s t-test is used as a method of statistical data processing.

Results and Discussion. During the experimental training, it is proved that the innovative author’s method of teaching students writing in a foreign language, including extracurricular interaction of students with generative artificial intelligence tools, is more effective than traditional teaching methods in developing students’ writing skills: writing a business letter (t = 3.19 at p = 0.001), writing essays of a contrastive and comparative nature (t = 3.19 at p = 0.002), writing essays of an argumentative nature (t = 2.28 at p = 0.001), writing a film or book review (t = 2.46 at p = 0.001).

Conclusion. The novelty of the research lies in the development of a step-by-step methodology for teaching students writing in a foreign language, including extracurricular interaction of students with one of the generative artificial intelligence tools (ChatGPT 4.0, Criterion, YandexGPT). Based on the feedback they received from the AI, the students finalized draft versions of their work. The proposed methodology can be used in teaching students and students writing in a foreign language in secondary schools and universities.

Authors: Filatov E. M.
Published: November 2024

Importance. Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can already significantly transform the traditional foreign language teaching process. Researchers from different countries are considering the linguistic and didactic potential of different artificial intelligence technologies for solving some educational and professional tasks. Character.ai is one of the artificial intelligence tools on the basis of which it is possible to develop foreign language communicative skills of the learner. At the same time, the development of a step-by-step foreign language teaching methodology based on character.ai has not been the subject of separate research. The purpose of the study is to examine the aspect of developing students’ foreign language communicative skills on the basis of character.ai web application and to develop a step-by-step method.

Materials and Methods. The research methods are: analysis of pedagogical and methodical literature on the development of students’ foreign language communicative activity skills on the basis of various artificial intelligence tools, as well as the use of neural networks in foreign language teaching. Research and review articles from scientific journals included in the international scientific databases Scopus and Web of Science and the list of HAC RF have been used as materials for the study. An online survey has been conducted to determine students’ attitudes towards the use of character.ai web application in the teaching process. Results and Discussion. The following methodical functions of character.ai are identified: a) the possibility of creating a virtual person from scratch and choosing from ready-made ones; b) the possibility of using voice communication with a virtual person; c) the possibility of creating your own character and d) the possibility of changing the virtual person’s answer. These functions formed the basis for the development of a method of developing foreign language communicative activity skills on the basis of students’ interaction with the character.ai web application, consisting of six stages: 1) introductory; 2) goal setting; 3) technological; 4) interaction with the artificial intelligence; 5) discussion of results; and 6) assessment. A survey has been conducted to determine the learning domains of the learners’ use of the character.ai web application. The results of the survey show that: a) 37.4 % of the respondents used character.ai to practice role-playing; b) 40.2 % – to practice writing interaction; c) 22.4 % – to practice oral interaction.

Conclusion. The novelty of this study consists in highlighting the methodical functions of the web application character.ai, which should be taken into consideration when developing methods of teaching a foreign language on its basis. The prospects of the study consist in the development of methods for the development of foreign language communicative skills of higher education students on the basis of the web application character.ai.
“A curiosity that I want to discover for myself…”: the Russian language as perceived by the citizens of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea
Authors: Sushkova N. A. , Shurupova O. S.
Published: November 2024

Importance. The current problem of the Russian language perception by citizens of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea is examined. The familiarity level of Equatorial Guineans with the Russian language and culture, as well as their willingness to study Russian as a foreign language, is ana lyzed. The purpose of the study is to use a questionnaire to analyze the peculiarities of the Russian language perception by residents of Equatorial Guinea, as well as to identify ways to overcome possible difficulties in the study of Russian as a foreign language by Equatorial Guineans at the in itial stage.

Materials and Methods. The results of a survey conducted among of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea residents, which made it possible to formulate recommendations for teaching Equatorial Guineans the Russian language and forming a positive image of Russia as a great power in stu dents, are presented. The respondents included 9 men and 17 women aged 19 to 28.

Results. The study identified the motives of the Republic of Equatorial Guineacitizens to study Russian. The survey showed a high interest level in learning foreign languages, including Russian, as well as a positive attitude towards the Russian Federation, but at the same time revealed an al most complete absence of associations with Russian culture among the respondents. 100 % of re spondents consider it necessary to study Russian, as it will help in their professional activities. At the same time, 19 % of respondents do not have Russian culture knowledge, which proves the need for its further popularization. Although 69 % of respondents consider Russian difficult to learn, they show a high willingness to learn it.

Conclusions. The theoretical value of the obtained results is due to the fact that the study allowed to identify the main perception features of the Russian language by residents of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea who began to study it. Both the questionnaire created by the authors and the recommendations for teaching Russian to Equatoguineans developed on the survey basis is of practical importance.
Exam Experiences, Motivational Beliefs, and Belonging in First-Year University Physics Students: Insights from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Durk Jessie , Smith Amy , Rahman Nabihah , Christie Rebekah
Published: November 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to better understand the transition from secondary school to higher education regarding students’ assessment and written-exam experiences. We used mixed methods to investigate students’ experiences of first-year university physics exams and cancelled secondary school exams, regarding their motivational beliefs (regarding themes such as self-efficacy and test anxiety) and sense of belonging. Questionnaire findings from 78 physics students suggest those who felt more negatively impacted by cancelled school exams felt less prepared, less self-efficacious, and more anxious in their university exams than students who felt more positively impacted. Follow-up focus groups with five students revealed they felt out of practice sitting high-stakes university exams and unprepared for the new open-book format, contributing to their test anxiety. Cancelled school exams also provided short-term relief, but belongingness uncertainty; students felt unable to prove themselves and questioned whether they had earned their place in higher education. Our findings suggest that the exam experience is central to both creating a sense of belonging for students and building mastery experiences in terms of self-efficacy and test anxiety.
Educação personalizada não é educação emancipadora
Authors: Blikstein Paulo
Published: November 2024

Nesse artigo, discutimos dois futuros possíveis para as tecnologias educacionais e para a educação personalizada. Um é dominado por produtos corporativos de instrução programada em que a “personalização” é rigorosamente limitada ao ritmo de consumo dos materiais, sem que os alunos tenham qualquer escolha de conteúdos ou abordagens. Em um campo diametralmente oposto, encontramos na educação maker um uso de tecnologia que oferece a estudantes novas formas de expressão e de participação agêntica no mundo atual. Concluímos alertando para a apropriação do discurso educacional progressista por produtores desses sistemas de instrução programada e apontando que há, na intersecção da educação maker com o pensamento de Paulo Freire, um futuro mais promissor para as tecnologias educacionais.
УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ ГОЛОДОМОР У ЧЕХОСЛОВАЦЬКИХ ІСТОРИЧНИХ ДЖЕРЕЛАХ ТА ЧЕСЬКІЙ І СЛОВАЦЬКІЙ ІСТОРІОГРАФІЇ

Published: November 2024

Автори статті проаналізували чеські та словацькі історичні джерела з проблематики Голодомору в Радянській Україні 1932–1933 рр. Досліджено чеську та словацьку історіографію з цього питання. З’ясовано, що в колишньому чехословацькому, а після 1990 р. — ні в чеському, ані в словацькому історичному просторі місцеві історики не використали потенціал накопиченого матеріалу міжвоєнного періоду (архівного, преси, радіоматеріалу, подорожніх нотаток тощо). Щодо проблематики радянського голоду, зокрема Голодомору в Україні 1932–1933 рр., не було опубліковано жодної спеціальної монографії. Проблема представляється лише в окремих розділах загальних праць, присвячених історії сталінізму чи радянської історії загалом. Також бракує перекладної літератури, зокрема українських авторів. Така ситуація зумовлена тим, що в другій половині XX ст. в Чехословаччині не існувала, a після 1990 р. в Чехії та Словаччині не виникла наукова школа україністики. Наразі вона тільки формується.
Радянський наратив «ворожої церкви» у світлі культивування міфу про Українську греко-католицьку церкву середовищі української діаспори
Authors: Пшеничний Т.
Published: November 2024

У статті представлено масштаби діяльності радянських спецслужб та підконтрольних їм структур, що діяли під патронатом Російської православної церкви, за межами Радянського Союзу. Після ліквідації Української греко-католицької церкви на Львівському псевдособорі 1946 р. та встановленням тотального державного контролю над церковною сферою західних областей Української РСР, УГКЦ мала змогу легально існувати та розвиватись у тих країнах світу, в яких були потужні осередки української діаспори з Галичини. Проте навіть існування цієї церкви за межами СРСР вважалося в радянських політичних колах небезпечним. З греко-католицькою церквою пов’язували функціонування українського націоналістичного руху, яке підтримувала діаспора. Тому, з метою домогтися розриву відносин української діаспори з Українською греко-католицькою церквою, а відтак обмежити її зв’язок з українськими націоналістами, радянські спецслужби за допомогою Російської православної церкви 1946 р. розпочали масштабну кампанію з дискредитації УГКЦ в середовищі української діаспори. Також у статті продемонстровано участь у цьому процесі Ради в справах Російської православної церкви та підконтрольних їй, як і самій Російській православній церкві, організацій за межами СРСР. Звісно, наведений матеріал віддзеркалює лише однин із багатьох сегментів масштабної кампанії проти українського народу, його цінностей, традицій, національної церкви.
Modulation of gut microbiota in targeted cancer therapy: insights on the EGFR/VEGF/KRAS pathways
Authors: Gong Li , Yang Shixue , Huang Junli , Li Yongsheng
Published: November 2024

The rise in the incidence of cancer globally has led to a heightened interest in targeted therapies as a form of anticancer treatment. Key oncogenic targets, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS), have emerged as focal points in the development of targeted agents. Research has investigated the impact of gut microbiota on the efficacy of various anticancer therapies, such as immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, a notable gap exists in the literature regarding the relationship between gut microbiota and targeted agents. This review emphasizes how specific gut microbiota and gut microbiota metabolites, including butyrate, propionate, and ursodeoxycholic acid, interact with oncogenic pathways to modulate anti-tumor effects. Conversely, deoxycholic acid, lipopolysaccharide, and trimethylamine n-oxide may exert pro-tumor effects. Furthermore, modulation of the gut microbiota influences glucose and lipid metabolism, thereby enhancing the response to anti-KRAS agents and addressing diarrhea induced by tyrosine kinase inhibitors. By elucidating the connection between gut microbiota and the EGFR/VEGF/KRAS pathways, this review provides valuable insights for advancing targeted cancer therapy and optimizing treatment outcomes in clinical settings.

The urgency of the development and use of glass fibers for the creation of microfiber dressings for the treatment of chronic wounds in combat conditions has been determined. The availability of such materials is especially important in the conditions of hostilities, which are characterized by the need for quick resuscitation of the wounded and the provision of emergency aid on the battlefield. The use of such materials will save life, shorten the rehabilitation period, and speed up the recovery of the military and civilian population.
An analysis of the scientific and technical literature on the composition and properties of bioactive glass fibers for medical use was carried out. The compositions and properties of glass fibers for various purposes were analyzed and their possibility of use in the development of bioactive glass fibers for medical use was established. The selection of the compositions of bioactive glass fibers with a prolonged biocidal effect for the rapid healing of wounds and the restoration of bone tissue is substantiated. The mechanism of action of biocidal components and boron ions in the composition of bioglasses on the ability to inhibit the negative effects of pathogenic microorganisms was analyzed. The use of boroaluminophosphate glass fibers for the manufacture of effective dressings for the treatment of wounds in crisis situations in combat conditions will increase the percentage of survival and reduce the duration of treatment due to the direct action of cations and anions of the materials in vivo. The main theoretical principles of the creation of bioactive boroaluminophosphate glass fibers, modified with group II metal cations, which will be characterized by the presence of a strengthened surface layer, and characterized at the same time by high biocompatibility, biocide with prolonged action and non-toxicity, have been determined. The introduction of domestically developed bioactive glass fibers into medical practice will significantly increase the competitiveness of domestic medical materials, as well as ensure defense capability and safety, and contribute to the stabilization of the market in the conditions of sustainable development of the state.

Evaluación de la confiabilidad de una nueva propuesta de medición volumétrica de las vías aéreas superiores mediante tomografía computarizada de haz cónico
Authors:   , Hidalgo de Avilez Natalia Paz
Published: November 2024

Introducción: Recientemente, estudios han realizado análisis tridimensionales de las vías aéreas superiores (VAS). Sin embargo, hubo una falta de delineación de las VAS de acuerdo a los límites anatómicos y/o marcas móviles de tejidos blandos que fueron utilizados. El objetivo del presente estudio es definir los nuevos márgenes de las VAS en tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (TCHC) según marcas óseas anatómicas y evaluar la confiabilidad del método. Materiales y Métodos: 30 tomografías fueron seleccionadas de la base de datos del centro de cirugía maxilofacial CIRMAX. Se siguió un protocolo de posicionamiento natural de la cabeza mediante fotografía y la reorientación virtual de la imagen de la TCHC en 3 planos; y se evaluó el volumen de las VAS de acuerdo a los límites propuestos. Tres observadores evaluaron por duplicado y en dos momentos cada TCHC con el fin de analizar la reproducibilidad intraobservador e interobservador. Resultados: Los valores medios para la reproducibilidad intraobservador e interobservador de la medición del área y del volumen de las VAS por duplicado y en dos momentos de medición mostraron un valor p menor a 0.05 por lo que no se encontraron diferencias significativas. Conclusiones: Se ha propuesto un nuevo método para la delineación de las VAS en las exploraciones con TCHC para la evaluación del volumen y el área de las VAS y se ha encontrado que es confiable.
Determinación de la proporción de Adenocephalus pacificus en "Bonito" Sarda chiliensis en el terminal pesquero de Villa María del Triunfo en Lima 2018, Perú
Authors:   , Navarro Huaman Lorena Lucia
Published: November 2024

Adenocephalus pacificus es el agente causal de la difilobotriosis humana en el Perú, siendo uno de los tres países endémicos de esta enfermedad en Sudamérica. Asimismo, este parásito se encuentra infectando a diversas especies de peces marinos como Sarda chiliensis (bonito) una de las de mayor consumo en nuestro país considerándose además como una de las principales fuentes de infección de esta zoonosis. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la proporción de bonitos (Sarda chiliensis) parasitados con larvas plerocercoides de Adenocephalus pacificus procedentes del Terminal Pesquero de Villa María del Triunfo (VMT), Lima (Perú), durante la estación de otoño del 2018. Se recolectaron 100 especímenes de bonito fresco durante los meses de abril, mayo y junio de 2018. Luego de realizar la necropsia, colecta e identificación morfológica de las formas parasitarias halladas en cada espécimen no se logró detectar la presencia de larvas plerocercoides de A. pacificus (0%); sin embargo, se logró identificar formas larvarias de Anisakis spp. (39%) y Heterosphyriocephalus tergestinus (25%). Probablemente, las condiciones medio ambientales correspondientes a la época de la colecta (otoño) fueron desfavorables para la presencia de A. pacificus específicamente para S. chiliensis, por lo cual, el presente hallazgo otorga nuevas pistas sobre las relaciones ecológicas del parásito en el mar peruano.
