Published: April 2024

Introduction. Achondroplasia is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder and
the most prevalent cause of dwarfism in humans. Case Report. A 38-year-old
male with achondroplasia required cardiothoracic surgical treatment.
Standing at 150 cm, weighing 68 kg, with a body surface area index of 1.68
m?, he had a history of diagnosed hypertension and Chiari malformation. A
transthoracic echocardiogram five years ago revealed mild aortic
regurgitation. In the recent cardiac examination, moderate-to-severe aortic
regurgitation, dilation of the Valsalva sinus, and coronary artery disease
were observed. The elective cardiothoracic surgery included mechanical
aortic valve replacement and myocardial revascularization with a single
bypass. Histopathological analysis of the aortic wall indicated mucoid
degeneration, atherosclerosis, and focal adventitial hemorrhages. The
postoperative course was uneventful, and normal blood pressure values were
confirmed with a Holter monitor. Conclusion. A comprehensive cardiac
evaluation is crucial for patients with achondroplasia, emphasizing the
significance of considering echocardiographic parameters in the context of
anthropometric characteristics. The proficiency and readiness of adult
physicians to consistently provide accurate diagnosis and treatment,
especially in urgent interventions or surgical procedures, are essential.

La pérdida de hueso debida a trauma es una de las causas entre otras que dictan la necesidad de una reconstrucción mandibular, no solo desde el punto estético, sino también desde el punto de vista funcional, la mayoría de fracturas mandibulares y faciales son causados por agentes externos cuya fuerza rebasa los límites de la elasticidad ósea, como traumatismos de alta o baja energía producidos por objetos romos o cortantes; la causa más frecuente suelen ser los accidentes en los que se ven involucrados, vehículos motorizados, eléctricos o autónomos (bicicletas, patinetas, etc), en segundo lugar están presentes traumatismos provocados por caídas sobre objetos duros, o traumatismos a causa de golpes contundentes, es por este motivo que en este artículo se describirán los tipos de fractura así como los porcentajes de presentación de las fracturas faciales más frecuentes.
Lessons from the 'Dark' Side
Authors: Dupret Katia , Umantseva Anya , Lazoroska Daniela
Published: April 2024

Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is important in handling complex societal problems. Even if collaborating is acknowledged as contributing towards societal change and innovation, collaborators’ emotional experiences during development, consolidation and completion of a given project are underexplored. This article discusses emotional labour in three cross-sectoral collaborations using participatory observations and interviews. It analyses the potentials and pitfalls of focusing on emotional labour that foregrounds collaboration as a dynamic that changes with the development phases of a project trajectory. The study finds that rendering interpersonal dynamics visible may both be a way to gain authority and legitimization in the collaboration but can also be used as a strategy to marginalise others. On the other hand, maintaining the invisibility of emotional labour can also be an expression of power. The obscurity of these complex dynamics makes it difficult to navigate and propose what makes a good collaboration. The paper aims to contribute, from a practitioner-oriented and theoretical vantage point to a more reflexive and sustainable practice and nuanced understandings of collaborative practices in research and at an institutional level, particularly in the field of social change and innovation.

Impact of Migration on Global Politics and Security
Authors: Sabriu Bexheti Miranda
Published: April 2024

Migration has presented a very important challenge at the global level in recent years, especially with the high economic disparity between countries and regions, wars and crises, and political instability. Even though migration policies and the legal system of asylum are at a solid level for the needs of society, the dilemma is still presented as to whether the flow of migrants affects and determines global politics and security or how this impact is at specific levels, especially at the level of income or economic capacity of regions or states. This is also the basic purpose of this study, where official data from the World Bank and United Nations give concise answers to the impact of the flow of migrants on political stability and global security. It turns out that at the global level, the flow of migrants does not represent a significant challenge in global and security policies, but at lower levels, according to countries, income represents a very significant determinant in political stability as well as Military Expenditure.
Generally speaking, migration determines a country’s economic, social, and security image. After the increased migration that includes both refugees and asylum seekers in the last decade as a result of political instability, poverty, Arab Spring and Syrian war and wars in the recent past and the recent war in Ukraine and Israel, the dilemma arises whether migration as a phenomenon (in terms of percentage) has an impact on political stability and security at the world level. This is the basis of this study, which, through statistically valid data from the World Bank and the United Nations, analyzes and generalizes a conclusion about the impact of migration on political stability and security at the global level.
The Effects of Propylene oxide Fumigation on the Mortality of Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Authors: Küçüktopcu Yeter , Isıkber Ali Arda
Published: April 2024

This study was carried out in 2014-2015 at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection, Entomology Laboratory. This study aims to evaluate the viability of propylene oxide (PPO) as an alternative fumigant to methyl bromide (MeBr) for the efficient control of Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and to model the mortality rates of P. interpunctella insects using different regression techniques. The biological effectiveness of PPO was assessed across all life stages of P. interpunctella during a brief exposure period (4 hours) under three conditions: normal atmospheric pressure (PPO alone), low pressure (PPO+Vacuum), and an atmosphere enriched with carbon dioxide (CO2) (PPO+CO2). For all PPO treatments, PPO was directly introduced into the fumigation chamber at seven or more concentrations using different micro-syringes of different volume ranges: 2.5-25 µl l-1, 1.5-45 µl l-1, 1.5-30 µl l-1, and 0.5-15 µl l-1 for eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults, respectively. The results indicate that 100% mortality was observed in eggs at concentrations of 25 µl l-1, 20 µl l-1 and 20 µl l-1; in larvae at concentrations of 45 µl l-1, 30 µl l-1 and 40 µl l-1; in pupae at concentrations of 30 µl l-1, 15 µl l-1 and 25 µl l-1; and in adults at concentrations of 15 µl l-1, 10 µl l-1 and 10 µl l-1 for the PPO alone, PPO+Vacuum, and PPO+CO2 treatments, respectively. The results obtained from the developed regression models for insect mortality reveal that these models generally exhibited a better fit when described by exponential and third-order polynomial functions. In summary, this study indicates that PPO treatments hold significant promise for rapid insect control, particularly in the case of the Indian meal moth, rendering them invaluable for quarantine purposes.

Authors: Yıldız Songül , Özcan Muharrem
Published: April 2024

Küresel ısınma, tarım alanlarında ve tarımsal üretimde çeşitli sorunlara yol açan önemli bir faktördür. Dünyada önemli çay üreticileri olan Çin, Hindistan, Kenya, Sri Lanka ve Türkiye gibi ülkelerdeki çay tarımında küresel ısınma etkileri son zamanlarda artış göstermiştir. Dünya çay tarım alanlarının etkilenme dereceleri çay veriminde azalma, sel ve su baskını, toprak erozyonu, kuraklık gibi farklı şekillerde meydana gelmektedir. Türkiye çay tarım alanlarında da, değişen sıcaklık ortalamaları, yağış miktarı ve yağış düzensizliği sonucunda çay üretiminde rakımlara bağlı olarak farklı düzeylerde etkilerin oluşmaya başladığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında yapılan anket çalışmasının sonuçlarına göre, kıyı kesimlerde ve özellikle ilk sürgün hasatta verim kayıplarının oluşmasına karşın, yüksek rakımlarda ikinci ve üçüncü hasatta verim artışlarını teşvik ettiği görülmektedir. Küresel ısınmanın ülkemiz çay bahçelerinde su baskını stresi, düz ve düze yakın arazilerde kurumalar, eğimli arazilerde ise toprak kaymaları gibi etkiler yaptığı görülmektedir. Ülkemiz çay alanlarında küresel ısınmanın etkilerinin azaltılmasına yönelik olarak, çay üreticilerinin bilgilendirilmesi, eğimli alanlarda toprak kaymasını önleyici kültürel önlemlerin alınması gerekmektedir. Kalıcı çözümler için, ıslah çalışmalarıyla, su baskını ve sıcaklık stresine yönelik verimli ve dayanıklı çeşitlerin geliştirilmesi ve bunların ülkemiz çay bahçelerinin yenilenmesinde öncelikle kullanılması sağlanmalıdır.

Authors: Kibar Beyhan , Kibar Hakan , Gündebahar Emine
Published: April 2024

Cauliflower is among the perishable vegetables after harvest. In recent years, the popularity of fresh-cut cauliflower has increased among consumers as a minimally processed product. This study was carried out to determine the effects of exogenous putrescine (PUT), citric acid (CA) and salicylic acid (SA) treatments on postharvest quality of fresh-cut cauliflower stored at 4±0.5 °C and 90±5% relative humidity for 21 days. In the study, a total of seven different treatments using two different doses (0.5 and 1.0 mM) of PUT, CA and SA were investigated. To evaluate the quality of fresh-cut cauliflower, the necessary measurements and analyzes were performed at periodic intervals on days 0, 7, 14, and 21 of storage. The results demonstrated that quality properties changed significantly depending on the postharvest treatments and storage durations. With the increase of storage duration, weight loss and ash content increased, while K, Zn and Cu contents decreased. In general, the treatments examined in the study had positive effects on postharvest quality of cauliflower. Among the treatments, especially 1.0 mM PUT was found to be more effective. Compared to the control, 1.0 mM PUT treatment decreased weight loss by 61.32%, though it increased protein content by 14.48% and P content by 21.55%. It was concluded that 1.0 mM PUT treatment can be recommended as an alternative application method to extend the storage life of fresh-cut cauliflower and reduce postharvest quality losses.

Stylistic Techniques in Demotivational Posters During COVID-19 Pandemic and Self-Isolation Period
Authors: Gukosyants O. Yu.
Published: April 2024

This study examines the visual stylistic devices used in the iconic component of demotivators during the pandemic and self-isolation period. It is argued that the significant impact potential of the iconic component of demotivators stimulates their creators to produce more expressive visual components. Achieving this goal is possible through the implementation of stylistic techniques not only in the verbal text but also in the accompanying imagery. It is noted that the most frequently used visual stylistic device in the analyzed material is metaphor. The impactful effect in the examined demotivators was also achieved through the presence of visual hyperbole, comparisons, allusions, contamination, gradation, pun, allegory, parallelism, and antithesis in the iconic part. It was found that stylistic techniques exclusively in the iconic part are present in 47% of the analyzed polycodal texts (in 13% of cases, the verbal component was completely absent, in 34% of cases, the presented verbal text served as an explanation of the meaning reflected in the illustration). 53% of the examined polycodal texts demonstrated the presence of stylistic techniques in both the iconic and verbal parts. Furthermore, the duplication of stylistic techniques in the verbal text and the image is characteristic only for 33% of the analyzed demotivators.
Motif of Mask in Joseph Brodsky’s ‘Great Elegy for John Donne’
Authors: Bogdanova O. V. , Baranova T. N.
Published: April 2024

This article offers an interpretation of the well-known poem by Joseph Brodsky, ‘Great Elegy for John Donne’ (1963). While traditionally elegy is analyzed in comparison with texts of the English medieval poet and preacher, where echoes of poetic and prose lines of John Donne are identified in Brodsky’s verses, the authors propose a different approach — viewing ‘Great Elegy...’ as an independent work by Brodsky, loosely connected to the verses and sermons of the abbot of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It is shown that at the time of creating the elegy, the young poet knew very little about Donne, leading the elegy to be an extension of Brodsky’s own ideas and beliefs that were already present in his previous works. None of the allusions to Donne suggested by critics were genuinely Donnesque but rather organic to the poet’s worldview at that time. The genre specificity of “Great Elegy for John Donne” is clarified during the analysis, demonstrating its connection to Brodsky’s genre of “great poems.” It is argued that the elegy was not a model of discipleship to Donne but an embodiment of the painful reflections prompted by a terrifying early diagnosis of “heart defect.” In this grand elegy, Brodsky donned Donne’s mask and through such mystification attempted to touch upon the mysteries of life-death, sleep-death, and grasp that “choral height” which transcends the Lord.
Works of R. Edelbauer in Context of Contemporary Austrian Literature of Early 21st Century
Authors: Shastina E. M. , Kazakova Yu. K.
Published: April 2024

This study explores the novels of contemporary Austrian writer Raphaela Edelbauer (Raphaela Edelbauer, b. 1990) “The Fluid Land” (Das flüssige Land, 2019), “DAVE” (DAVE, 2021), “The Incommensurables” (Die Inkommensurablen, 2023) in the context of contemporary Austrian literature of the early third millennium. The relevance of the research is driven by the necessity to comprehend the trends in Austrian literature during an era of global changes. It is revealed that, on one hand, the author continues the traditions of Austrian literature of the second half of the 20th century, particularly on a thematic level (Austrian identity, overcoming the past, the false idyll of provincial Austria, conflicts between fathers and children, etc.), while on the other hand, delving into pressing contemporary issues (transhumanism, artificial intelligence, etc.). The concept of fictionality is central to the analysis, exploring the ways and specifics of its implementation in the artistic text in alignment with the author’s communicative intentions. Special attention is given to Edelbauer’s individual style, the uniqueness of narrative organization in the examined genre varieties (parable novel, science fiction novel, historical novel), and the quest for a “personal” language. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that Edelbauer’s work, distinguished by prestigious literary awards in Austria and Germany, has not been a subject of study in Russian literary studies.
Commemorating Jubilee of Jan Hus in Russian Empire: Preconditions, History, Cultural Context.
Authors: Egorova K. B.
Published: April 2024

The brief report on the activities of the St. Petersburg Slavic Charitable Committee for the year 1869 includes a record that society members discussed the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus and established a prize for an essay on the Czech religious figure. The inclusion of Hus in the list of “jubilarians” worthy of honor not only highlights the significance of this religious thinker for the Slavic world but also touches upon certain political aspects of Russian history. The article analyzes the reasons for the Russian public's attention to Hus’s persona, provides a characterization of the views of Russian intellectuals at the time of the contest announcement regarding the legacy of the Czech religious figure, and presents reflections on how the proposal to support Jan Hus’s 500th jubilee aligns with the tradition of honoring cultural figures in the Russian Empire by the mid-19th century. The material draws from both published documents and sources not yet introduced into scholarly circulation. The motives behind honoring Jan Hus's legacy are seen in the acknowledgment by the chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the committee, Gilferding, of the Orthodox foundations of the Czech reformer’s teachings, deeming it possible to use Hus celebrations as a lever of influence on Czech society and advance the idea of political and religious unity among all Slavic branches in Orthodox faith.

Published: April 2024

At the stage of rapid development of science and technology, the primary task of the school is the formation of a comprehensively developed personality, which is carried out in the pedagogical process, the structure of which includes an important and mandatory process of education. It is impossible to organize a well-founded process of personality development without pedagogical diagnostics aimed at studying the individual characteristics of pupils and the socio-psychological characteristics of the children's collective.
      With the help of diagnostic techniques, the teacher receives data on the state of the educational process, the quality of education and upbringing of students, processes this data, analyzes and evaluates them, corrects and predicts the development of the educational process and students.
       In the process, the younger generations must assimilate what has already been accumulated by society, that is, to assimilate educational knowledge, values brought to their level of development, master a certain culture of behavior, abilities, learn the norms and experience of society's behavior and develop a certain system of views on life.
     Upbringing is the process of transferring social and historical experience by the older generation to new generations in order to prepare them for life and work, which is necessary to ensure the further development of society.
     Today, modern society is moving towards the modernization of education. As a result of significant transformations, state educational and subject standards are aimed at teaching in their content, giving secondary importance to the education of students and value orientation.
    It is necessary to determine the level of upbringing with the help of diagnostic tools, methods and techniques and, based on the identified qualities, organize a student-oriented and personality-oriented upbringing process.

Authors: Karianga Hendra
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This research aims to analyze the impact of corruption on individual and community development, economics and politics as well as public sector services.
 
Methode: The type of research used is normative legal research using an analytical approach.
 
Result and Conclusion: The impact of corruption on individual and community development, economics and politics as well as public sector services, namely the Impact of Corruption on Individual and Community Development can trigger people's distrust of the government. This triggers public apathy towards the programs being or will be planned by the government. Eliminating the nature of cooperation between the community and the government. The Impact of Corruption on Economic Development sluggish economic growth and investment, decreasing productivity, low quality of goods and services, decreasing state income from the tax sector, and rising national debt. The impact of corruption on political development hampers the government's function as the guardian of state policy because it hampers the government's role in regulating allocations, equalizing access and assets, and maintaining economic and political stability. The impact of corruption on public sector services causes bureaucracy to become inefficient and causes higher administrative costs.

Subject. The article addresses the impact of automation on accounting and control methodology. Objectives. The study aims at systematization and generalization of knowledge about problems and possibilities of organizing the accounting and control in an automated environment. Methods. The methodology of the study rests on dialectical approach, observation, synthesis of disparate information, analysis of obtained results, and elements of accounting methods, such as accounts, double entry, balance sheet, etc. Results. The paper lists and analyzes changes in the control function of accounting and synthetic accounts in automation conditions, investigates limitations associated with the use of synthetic accounts, specifies the blurring of boundaries of synthetic and analytical accounting in accounting programs. It gives the interpretation and criteria of double entry in automation conditions, introduces the concept of analytical double entry. Conclusions. In the context of automation, approaches to reflecting information on synthetic accounts are changing, including by adding analytical positions that are not peculiar to them. Analytics in the programs became a part of double entry, which blurred the information boundaries between the two areas of accounting, enabling not only to detail the indicators of synthetic accounts by analytical ones, but also analytical accounts by synthetic ones. Synthetic accounts are not used in management programs, however, management balance sheet is prepared, for this purpose the double entry should be shifted from the level of synthetic accounts to the level of analytical ones.
