Nonlinear Langevin time-delay differential equations with generalized Caputo fractional derivatives
Authors: Dien Nguyen
Published: April 2024

In a Banach space, we consider the nonlinear Langevin time-delay
differential equations with ?-Caputo fractional derivatives. Using weighted
norms involving Mittag-Leffler functions, we obtain some existence and
uniqueness of solutions of the problem. Besides, in some cases, the
condition for the problem having a unique solution can be relaxed using
Burton?s method. We also obtain some Ulam-Hyers and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias
Mittag-Leffler stability results for the main equation. Two examples are
given to illustrate our theoretical findings.

Published: April 2024

Foi realizada a análise da viabilidade econômica de diferentes sistemas de produção de madeira com eucalipto (Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex. Maiden) em uma propriedade rural, no município de Alegrete, RS. A análise econômica considerou a comparação entre um sistema tradicional de pecuária da região e dois sistemas de conversão da área de pecuária para plantios homogêneos em duas densidades com 2.222 e 1.111 árvores/ha e dois sistemas silvipastoris com 1.000 e 500 árvores/ha. A análise foi realizada a partir da determinação da Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR). Os resultados evidenciaram que a pecuária extensiva, praticada nos moldes tradicionais da região, não apresenta viabilidade econômica. Os sistemas silvipastoris e os plantios homogêneos apresentam a possibilidade de incremento da renda com maior eficiência que a pecuária tradicional da região. A adoção da prática de manejo com desbaste de 70% das árvores promoveu maior incremento em produtividade total de madeira do que o manejo por meio de talhadia simples.

Perlocutionary Speech Act of Conveying Bad News in Medical Communication
Authors: Sejati Amanda Puspanditaning , Ningrum Dedah , Ridwan Heri , Handayani Sifa Rini
Published: April 2024

Conveying bad news in the medical field, can present a challenging scenario as it tends to evoke emotional responses such as sadness, anxiety, and anger in the recipients. Essentially, this communication scenario holds the potential to impact the recipient, aligning with the concept of perlocutionary speech acts. Research into perlocutionary speech acts in the context of delivering adverse news within medical communication has not been extensively explored. This study aims to provide an overview of perlocutionary speech acts observed in delivering bad news within a medical context, as depicted in The Resident series. Employing a qualitative research design, this study applied a pragmatic approach for data analysis. The dataset for this study comprises the dialogues of doctors in 11 distinct contexts involving the communication of bad news in The Resident series. The results of the study showed that perlocutionary speech acts appeared in the context of delivering bad news, including the act of asking for confirmation, calming, explaining, informing, suggesting, and convincing. Additionally, these speech acts incite various emotional responses in the recipients, including sadness, anger, self-blame, panic, surprise, and calm. The outcomes of this research serve as a valuable reference for enhancing communication skills and pragmatic competence among healthcare professionals when confronted with the task of conveying bad news.
Wandering in Pakistan: The Paradoxical World of the Marginalized in Nadeem Aslam’s The Golden Legend (2017)
Authors: Khoirunnisa Firda , Adipurwawidjana Ari Jogaiswara , Maulana Sandya
Published: April 2024

This study explores the idea of place in Nadeem Aslam’s The Golden Legend (2017) to frame the identity crisis befalling the Christian community in Pakistan as a mirror of the similar experiences of marginalized groups in Britain. As a British novel expected to be read by Western readers, the depiction of the marginalization happening in Pakistan is utilized to allude to the condition outside the country: a paradox. The depicted paradox also recalls the history of Islam’s development in Türkiye and Spain, represented by the Hagia Sofia and the Great Mosque. The loss of ‘home’ causes the marginalized to wander in Pakistan, and, at the same time, they try to establish their identities and be remembered by society, both in the sense ofbelonging and of inhabiting memory. It is the same with the unsettled immigrant of Muslim Pakistanis, begging for their citizenship and being acknowledged in Britain. This analysis is based on Bhabha’s notion of unhomeliness and Derrida’s host and guest concept, composing an understanding that having no exact ‘home’, the Christian community being a guest to the Muslim community whose territory is obligated to preserve, is treated inappropriately. With these findings, we argue that wandering through places in Pakistan is an action determining whether one’s self is constructed or otherwise, illustrating Muslims in Britain having the same fate by remembering the golden legend told in the novel.

Authors: Ndunguru Atanas
Published: April 2024

The study investigates the phonological adaptation of Kiswahili loaned words in Matengo Language, with specific objectives, namely: to examine the underlying structure and surface structure of the loaned Swahili words in Matengo Language and to assess the phonological processes involved in the loaned Swahili words in Matengo Language. The study was guided by the Generative theory.
Data were collected through interviews and documentary reviews, employing a descriptive approach. Ten adult native speakers of Matengo language were sampled from Mbinga District and those residing in Dar es Salaam using non-probability sampling (purposive).
The study revealed that borrowing across languages shares commonality in phonological processes, although there is variation in the environments where the processes take place. Several strategies for phonological processes were identified in the adaptation of Swahili loaned words in Matengo: substitution, vowel deletion, adoption or structure preservation, insertion, homorganic nasal assimilation, devoicing, and stopping.

A tale of Two Schools
Authors: Rodriguez Cristian
Published: April 2024

Digital devices and learners cannot be seen as separate entities but as a functional entanglement that come (and stay) together in a performative encounter in which they are mutually saturated with each other's agencies. This research intends to explore the nature of the entanglement between secondary school learners and their digital devices as well as the implications of this entanglement when theorising a framework for learning in secondary school. This presentation proposes a language and a series of metaphors to describe and understand why the integration of technology in the classroom seems to have failed to deliver the promised transformation. 

 

From an enactive perspective, it primarily uses a mix of phenomenological and ethnographic methodology to analyse students’ experience of learning with digital devices. Whilst a micro-phenomenological approach attempted to explore the unfolding of particular experiences, a socio-material micro-ethnographic approach was used as a form of contrasting the phenomenological first-person account with a socio-technical analysis of the entanglement. .

Philosophical Meanings of the Image of a Home in Folk Culture
Authors:   Chechen State Pedagogical University, Betilmerzaeva Maret M. ,   Kadyrov Chechen State University
Published: April 2024

The article highlights the philosophical meanings of the home as a phenomenon of linguistic culture, revealing the ancient layers of the hidden in folk culture, allowing to discover the true nature of familiar things. It is emphasized that the analysis of the meanings of home allows us to better understand the worldview of our ancestors, their ideas about the world and man’s place in it. The ontological foundations of the home, presented in all cultures as the center of the universe, a microcosm, opposed to the chaos of the outside world, are revealed. An analysis of the phenomenality of the meanings of the words “home”, “fire”, “smoke”, “name”, “surname (family)”, “blood” in the Chechen linguistic culture is given. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the peculiarities of the interpretation of home in the cultures of sedentary and nomadic peoples, the general and special are emphasized, which determines their mental originality; it is substantiated that fire is an important factor in the formation of social communications and the phenomenality of a home. In the Chechen linguistic culture, the symbolism of home is revealed in the origins of human sociality, when fire organizes a special space of unity for everyone who gathers around it. It is stressed out that in modern society there is a change in the semantics of home as a problem of everyday life.
The Essence of War: Analyzing the Basic Concepts
Authors:   Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots named after Hero of the Soviet Union A.K. Serov, Uryupina Marina А.
Published: April 2024

The article delves into a consistent analysis of the opposing paradigms of the essence of war – the metaphysical and dialectical paradigms. The former is represented by two directions – “depoliticization” and “absolute politicization of war”. Specific conceptions of the essence of this phenomenon realized within its framework are described – economic, naturalistic, militaristic and axiological. It reveals their scientific inconsistency and reactionary political content – attempts to justify openly unjust, invasive, illegal wars with references to natural, native and eternal “laws” of social existence. The second direction reflects the views of those who reduce the essence of politics itself to armed violence, to a strategy in international relations “from a position of strength”, which they try to “justify” even clearly aggressive wars. The dialectical paradigm of war is based on the analysis of the essence of war as a unity of politics and armed violence, with the leading role of the former and the latter being driven by the latter, which, in turn, actively influences the former. The study implements the historical method of analysis in empirical and conceptual aspects. Structural-functional and world-system analysis methodology made it possible to incorporate the essential problems of modern international politics and military strategy into the content of the article, including Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine. Scientific novelty is contained in the unique methodology presented in the paradigms of the essence of war and the classification of their specific concepts. There are also elements of critical analysis of some modern concepts of our scientists on the analyzed problem.
Influence of JSC “RSMB Corporation” on the Development of Small and Medium Enterprise in Russia by the Example of Independent Guarantees
Authors: Abdulmanov Bulat A.
Published: April 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the Russian economy, contributing to GDP growth, creating new jobs and increasing the competitiveness of the economy. The state recognizes the importance of SMEs in the country’s economy, therefore it provides many support measures through various development institutions in the field of supporting SMEs. The article examines the impact of providing independent guarantees to JSC “RSMB Corporation” to SMEs. The study was conducted using the econometric package Econometric Views using the least squares method. It has been proven that the provision of independent guarantees by JSC “RSMB Corporation” to SMEs has a positive impact on the growth of tax deductions for SMEs (legal entities) in Russia. High interest rates on loans have a negative impact on the development of SMEs, which affects the reduction of tax deductions for SMEs (legal entities) in Russia. The results of the study can be the basis for the development and improvement of support and lending programs for SMEs.
Functional Relationship of Elements of Political Infrastructure
Authors:   Baltic State Technical University “Voenmeh” named after D.F. Ustinov, Shchegolev Eugeny N.
Published: April 2024

The article delves into the functional relationship between the elements of political infrastructure, which is the entire array of tools that allow interaction between political power and civil society. On the one hand, these are tools at the disposal of political institutions (state, political parties, other institutions of political representation). These tools are specific, and the algorithms for their use are reflected in the legal framework of the state. On the other hand, this array also includes not always obvious and tangible means of influencing the consciousness, perception and behavior of citizens, which are contained in the political culture that integrates ideologies, political archetypes, and distinctive features of mentality. In addition, the new technological conditions of digitalization have become a “great challenge” both for the individual behavior of citizens and for the transformation of their interaction among themselves and with political authorities. In order to transform this challenge into an opportunity for development, political infrastructure participants should be involved in the development and evaluation of alternatives for the optimal development of territories and, consequently, the state as a whole.
O plano nacional de educação em disputa no governo Lula
Authors: Trópia Patrícia Vieira
Published: April 2024

Este ensaio tem por objetivo discutir o significado histórico e  político do Plano Nacional de Educação, mais precisamente o processo de disputa em torno de sua implementação durante o governo Lula. Duas questões, em particular, mobilizam a análise: 1) a manutenção dos vetos, pelo governo Lula, ao projeto aprovado na Câmara (Lei nº 10.172/) e 2) o déficit entre as metas propostas e as alcançadas ao final de 2010. Quais seriam as razões para o primeiro governo do Partido dos Trabalhadores ter mantido os vetos?
Conferência nacional de educação 2010 e a construção do plano nacional de educação 2011-2021
Authors: Gorni Doralice Aparecida Paranzini
Published: April 2024

O presente texto apresenta uma reflexão sobre em que medida a realização da Conferência Nacional de Educação 2010, com vistas à elaboração do Plano Nacional de Educação 2011/2020. Consiste em um sinal do aprimoramento do processo de democratização da sociedade brasileira e, em decorrência da sua educação, constitui um ensaio subsidiado no estudo e análise das políticas educacionais brasileiras, a partir do século passado, e de seus impactos sobre distintos cotidianos escolares. Para tanto, analisa brevemente alguns elementos presentes no seu desenvolvimento, no período em questão, com vistas a evidenciar que a educação brasileira encontra-se em um estágio em que se torna imprescindível a constituição do Sistema Nacional de Educação. A posição assumida pelo governo federal de coordenar o movimento nacional em prol da construção do novo Plano Nacional de Educação evidencia o reconhecimento deste fato. No entanto, permanece o desafio de garantia das condições necessárias para que este seja materializado nos distintos contextos escolares. Neste sentido, o documento final da Conferência Nacional de Educação 2010 renova as expectativas de que, na próxima década, a democratização da educação brasileira possa se consolidar como fato e não apenas como direito.

Sustainable development: modification of principles and institutions
Authors: Vasiliev V. P.
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze the system of institutions of sustainable development and the implementation of their principles at the interstate, national macro and micro levels. The interrelation of ecology, economy and social dynamics as a single complex of institutions for solving the problems of sustainable development is shown. The universality of the goals of modern transformations in the field of environmental protection and socio-economic development, a wide range of improving the well-being of the population does not remove the existence of specific strategic goals for the countries of the post-industrial and pre-industrial stages of development. The modern interpretation of the sustainable development goals denies the stagnation of economic development and the reduction of consumption for the realization of environmental sustainability. Articulation of specific tasks at the interstate level is a vector of strategic planning at the national level, goal setting and designing the activities of public companies. The analysis of the formation of the institutional infrastructure of interaction between public companies and stakeholders in the field of non-financial reporting on ESG and financing of “green” investments is given. Non-financial reporting is transformed from the tasks of PR management into the direction of goal-setting and the formation of a new structure of financial activity, including the social development of companies.
Health and older adults: stereotypes and objective indicators
Authors: Novoselova E. N.
Published: April 2024

In the context of ageing, the problem of health among older adults needs special attention. The article attempts to analyze key health indicators among older people, their perception and acceptance of their own age, as well as the perception of them by others. The article also analyzes processes of inclusion of older people in the economic, social, and cultural life. Trying to determine the age boundaries of an old age, the author comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to identify a single correct classification, due to the heterogeneity of the “elderly” group, the discrepancy between their views on life, the difference in health status and their perceptions of illnesses. The analysis factors influencing this heterogeneity will help to understand the main problems of life expectancy and will make it possible to develop more effective programs to prolong a healthy lifestyle and active aging. The author analyzes such health indicators as: life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, self-assessment of health, social and medical literacy of the elderly population. The author does not ignore the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an impact on physical and mental health of older people, as they were the main risk group during the pandemic.

The article is based on the results of the most significant and recent Russian and foreign works in the fields of sociology of ageing and sociology of health. The methodological basis of the work is a secondary analysis of research data from the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), etc.

Authors: Liadova A. V.
Published: April 2024

The article deals with digital mediatization of health in the sociological discourse and its main directions. Noting that the issues of the impact of traditional media on health attitudes and behavior have been sufficiently developed in the domestic research field, the author focuses on the importance of the elaboration the problems of social construction of youth health in the era of digital media.

Hepp. Based on this, the work presents a definition of mediatization of the health sector and key aspects of its study.
Differentiation of the concepts of sober lifestyle and healthy lifestyle in social sciences
Authors: Zotova V. A.
Published: April 2024

The central concepts of the subject area we are considering are two categories – healthy lifestyle and sober lifestyle. Definitions of key terms in the subject area under consideration are considered. The component composition of the concept of healthy lifestyle is analyzed. It is concluded that a healthy lifestyle is a much broader concept, and the term “sober lifestyle” is included in its semantic spectrum. A cause-and-effect relationship between the concepts has been discovered; there is an obvious one: a sober lifestyle is the first step to a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, a contradiction was discovered in the relationship between the concepts of healthy lifestyle and sober lifestyle in everyday mass consciousness: complete abstinence from alcohol is perceived by the public as an anomalous pattern that does not fit into the idea of a conventional social standard. Absolute sobriety is still considered a deviation, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle does not exclude violations of a sober lifestyle. An assumption has been made that the categories “sober lifestyle” and “healthy lifestyle” are located in different dimensions of a person’s worldview – in the mental-volitional and functional (activity) ones, respectively. The article concludes with possible approaches to studying the relationship between the concepts of a healthy and sober lifestyle.
Social phenomena of physical culture and sports through the eyes of young people
Authors: Belozerov V. I.
Published: April 2024

This article is devoted to the study of social phenomena of physical culture and sports, as one of the significant and promising areas of modern sociological research. Starting with a reference to the understanding in Russian legislation of the content of the concepts of “physical culture” and “sport”, as well as their relationship with each other, the author of the article draws attention to the importance of studies of ideas about social phenomena of physical culture and sports that have developed among various groups of the population, in particular, among young people. To identify these ideas in youth, and above all, in its most active part – student youth from September 4 to 8, 2023, he conducted an author’s pilot empirical study “Social phenomena of physical culture and sports” among bachelor students of the sociological faculty of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov 1–3 courses in two areas of training – “Sociology”, as well as “Public policy and social sciences”.

             As part of this study, students were asked to answer blocks of questions aimed at identifying the motivation and involvement of student youth in physical education and sports. The author’s analysis of the results of the study showed that between physical education and sports, students of the sociological faculty of Moscow State University do not see much difference, actually identifying them, and more than half of students actually identify physical education with the discipline taught by him at the university. At the same time, the process of communication in virtual space (in networks, chats, blogs, etc.), communication with friends, as well as walks in the fresh air, for students of the sociological faculty of Moscow State University are more priority than the activities of physical education and sports themselves.
Understanding the essence of the “Great game” by representatives of Anglo-Saxon geopolitical schools
Authors: Elishev S. O.
Published: April 2024

This article is devoted to understanding the essence of “The Great Game”, that is, the policy of containing the development of Russia by Anglo-Saxon elites and powers (dating back more than two centuries), representatives of Anglo-Saxon geopolitical thought. Perceiving Russia as the main obstacle to achieving its global geopolitical hegemony, Anglo-Saxon elites and powers actively waged large-scale diplomatic, economic, information wars and battles against Russia, military operations, conducted operations to organize coups d’etat and “revolutions”, trying to destroy Russia both by actions from outside and undermining it from within. Naturally, to justify this kind of policy, a certain ideological justification and information support was required, which were carried out in particular by English and American geopolitics.

             The author emphasizes that the ideological justification of the “Great Game” by Anglo-Saxon geopolitics began in the classical period of the development of geopolitics, a characteristic feature of which was the unlimited dominance of the ideas of geographical determinism, which interprets the entire course of the development of human civilization as fundamental geopolitical dualism – the confrontation between two different powerful types of human civilizations and states – the powers of the Sea (sea, colonial powers) and Land (continental, land powers). The author considers the geopolitical concepts of the founders of the American and English national schools of geopolitics – A.T. Mahan, J.H. McKinder, N. Spikeman, formulated the main ideas of Atlantism – the geopolitical theory and practice of the collective West, NATO member countries that assign a leading role in world history to maritime states and civilizations.

             Within the framework of the modern period of the development of Anglo-Saxon political thought (which is characterized by the development of geeconomic concepts and a civilizational approach), the author of the article analyzes the views of American globalist geopolitics – J. Kennan, G. Kissinger, F. Fukuyama, Zb. Brzezinski, S. Huntington, as well as one of the founders of the civilizational approach – the English historian A. Toynbee,  as well as the concept of the “death of the West” P. Buchanan.
Increasing the cost accuracy of implementing green retrofitting in high-rise office buildings
Authors: Kussumardianadewi Bernadette Detty , Latief Yusuf , Ilyas Tommy , Rarasati Ayomi Dita
Published: April 2024

Implementing green retrofitting can save 50–90% of energy use in buildings built worldwide. Government policies in several developed countries have begun to increase the implementation of green retrofitting buildings in those countries, which must rise by up to 2.5% of the lifespan of buildings by 2030. By 2050, it is hoped that more than 85% of all buildings will have been retrofitted. The high costs of implementing green retrofitting amounting to 20% of the total initial construction costs, as well as the uncertainty of costs due to cost overruns are one of the main problems in achieving the implementation target in 2050. Therefore, increasing the accuracy of the costs of implementing green retrofitting is the best solution to overcome this. This research is limited to analyzing the factors that influence increasing the accuracy of green retrofitting costs based on WBS, BIM, and Information Systems. The results show that there are 10 factors affecting the cost accuracy of retrofitting or customizing high-rise office buildings, namely Energy Use Efficiency, Water Use Efficiency, Use of Environmentally Friendly Materials, Maintenance of Green Building Performance during the Use Period, Initial Survey, Project Information Documents, Cost Estimation Process, Resources, Legal, and Quantity Extraction applied. These factors are shown to increase the accuracy of green retrofitting costs.
Efecto par: minoría étnica y rendimiento en el último año de colegio en Ecuador
Authors: Meneses Karla , Vergara Sobarzo Lucía Andrea , Chamorro Enríquez Paola Denisse
Published: April 2024

Ecuador presenta diferencias educativas y socioeconómicas entre el grupo mayoritario de la población (mestizos) y las minorías étnicas (afroecuatorianos, indígenas y montubios). El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la relación entre el efecto par de la composición escolar y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de tercer grado de bachillerato autoidentificados como minoría étnica. Como base teórica se empleó la función de producción educativa y como método de estimación se aplicó un modelo jerárquico lineal. Los resultados muestran que el efecto neto de un aumento de las minorías étnicas en la composición escolar empeora el rendimiento académico tanto de este grupo como del mayoritario, experimentando un deterioro más fuerte este último grupo, pues las notas de todos los estudiantes convergen, pero hacia la baja. Estos resultados llevan a repensar el sistema educativo ecuatoriano desde un enfoque inclusivo y a revisar la implementación de la Ley Orgánica de Educación Intercultural.

Authors: Vieira Cristiane Ramos , Serra Roberto Juliano Benedito , Araujo Maicon Marinho Vieira , Souza Marcelo Dias de
Published: April 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the initial growth of red tent seedlings in different doses and sources of N.
 
Theoretical framework: Based on scientific articles found on search engines and books in the area of soil fertility and plant nutrition. This is to support the explanation of how the morphological characteristics of seedlings, which explain their growth, are affected by nitrogen fertilization, depending on the dose and source of fertilizer applied.
 
Method: The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with five doses of N and five replications, using urea and ammonium sulfate as sources, which were evaluated separately. The doses tested were: T0 – without addition of N; T1 – 50 mg dm-3; T2 – 100 mg dm-3; T3 – 150 mg dm-3; T4 – 200 mg dm-3, for each source tested. At the end of 90 days, the morphological characteristics of the seedlings were evaluated: height, diameter, height/diameter ratio, dry mass of the aerial part, dry mass of the root part, aerial dry mass/root dry mass ratio, height/aerial dry mass ratio and, Dickson quality index.
 
Results and conclusion: Growth, dry mass production and seedling quality were greater at a dose of 200 mg dm-3 when using urea as a source of N. When the source was ammonium sulfate, the greatest growth in height occurred at a dose of 100 mg dm-3, however, the greatest growth in diameter, the greatest production of dry mass and quality, were observed at a dose of 200 mg dm-3. This is the recommended dose for the species studied.
 
Research implications: These results indicate that nitrogen fertilization is essential for the quality growth of red seedlings, and the dose to be applied is essential for this to happen, since values lower than this dose may not allow the plant to perform at its maximum. growth potential. Meanwhile, higher doses do not guarantee greater growth and will result in unnecessary expenses and, probably, loss of growth due to toxicity.
 
Originality/value: Using nitrogen fertilizers, in the correct dose for the species, increases its growth potential and guarantees the production of quality seedlings within the nursery.
Why Does Financial Distress Happen to Companies? (Case Study on Primary Consumer Goods Sector Companies Listed on IDX)
Authors: Rokhayati Isnaeni , Muntahanah Siti , Achadi Ady , Oktaviani Rina
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This research aims to find out how the influence of liquidity, leverage, probability and sales growth on financial distress conditions. The dependent variable in this study is financial distress. Meanwhile, the independent variables are liquidity, leverage, profitability, and sales growth.
 
Method: The population in this study are primary consumer goods sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2018-2022. The samples obtained were 16 companies which were selected using purposive sampling method. The analytical tool used is panel data regression analysis with the help of eviews 10 software.
 
Result and conclusion: The results showed that liquidity and leverage are significantly influenced to financial distress, while profitability and sales growth are not significantly influenced to financial distress. The limitation in this study are the independent variables used were only liquidity, leverage, profitability and sales growth, and the research was only conducted on consumer non- cyclical. Future researchers are expected to use another measure for projecting financial distress, to add independent variables and examine companies other than consumer non-cyclicals and increases the observation period in the study.
 
Research implications: The implication of this research is that the company is expected to increase current assets, controlling external loans, increase profitability and increase sales growth to avoid financial distress.
Potencial Citric Acid Production by Fungi Using Hemicellulosic Hydrolysate of Coffee Husk as Substrate
Authors: Sarrouh Boutros , Zanetti Lofrano Renata Carolina
Published: April 2024

Objective: The aim of this experimental assay was to produce citric acid via submerged fermentation, using hemicellulose hydrolysate from coffee husks as main substrate.
 
Theoretical framework: Obtaining citric acid through fermentation processes, especially submerged fermentation, has become viable due to the use of low-cost materials, such as industrial subproducts derived from green biomass.
 
Methodology: The hemicellulose hydrolysate was obtained from the acid hydrolysis process of the coffee husk. The strains of the fungi Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus westerdijkiae and Rhizopus sp. were employed to carry out the fermentation assays. A bioreactor consisting of a 500 ml flat-bottomed flask was used, with an inlet for supplying air and an outlet for removing samples
 
Results and Conclusion: The obtained results showed an increase in number of spores of the studied fungi as well as citric acid accumulation during the first 72 h of fermentation. On the other hand, after 96 h of fermentation citric acid concentration began to decrease indicating its consumption by the studied fungi, probably due to the lack of nitrogen sources and the cellular stress caused by the mixed composition of the hemicellulose hydrolysate.
 
Implications of the research: There is a need to study the interaction between the nitrogenous nutrients to be added to the fermentation medium and the concentration of reducing sugars as the sole carbon source in the lignocellulosic hydrolysate.
 
Originality/value: This work highlights the potential production of citric acid by fungi using a coffee husk as a renewable biomass.
Valuation of Environmental Intangible Assets: A Bibliometric and Systematic Analysis
Authors: Toro Lina María Maya , Ripoll Vicente Ripoll
Published: April 2024

Objective: This paper presents a systematic bibliometric analysis of the literature on intangible valuation, especially environmental intangibles, to analyze the relevance of the subject, the state of scientific knowledge, and research opportunities.
 
Theoretical Framework: Intangible assets are relevant for companies because they can contribute to higher company valuation. Some research studies have successfully classified the different types of intangible assets and developed models to value companies that include them. However, diverse results have not allowed reaching a consensus on their use in company valuation.
 
Method: The Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist (ProKnow-C) methodology was used; articles on intangible assets were analyzed with the VOSViewer® software, while an analysis of the articles for environmental assets was performed with the lens.org platform.
 
Results and Discussion: It was determined that most intangible asset valuation models are empirical and use regressions to perform the valuation.  Intellectual capital is one of the intangible assets that has been proposed by more models.
 
Research Implications: Some opportunities for future research on this topic are identified; these are adjusted to models that consider the main environmental assets and are easily applied by companies.
Immune correction in patients with sepsis (literature review)
Authors: Stepanov A. V. , Shapovalov K. G.
Published: April 2024

The search for domestic publications on this publication was conducted in the database on the RSCI website, and foreign ones in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases in the period 2022-2023. Their analysis showed that actively studied approaches to the immunocorrection of sepsis are aimed at changing the content or activity of cytokines, growth factors, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, as well as myeloid suppressor cells. When modulating the action of cytokines, a variety of approaches are used, such as changing the affinity of cytokines to their receptors, extending the half-life of cytokines and «fine-tuning» the action of cytokines. For the safe and effective use of bioregulators for immunocorrection in sepsis, additional multicenter studies of their clinical effectiveness are needed, including taking into account the stratification of patients into individual endotypes and the mechanisms of action of bioregulators.
