Adverse effects of exposure of human to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are enormous. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine and compare BTEX in water, sediment and fishes (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, Oreochromis niloticus and Ilishia africana) from Badagry, Ojo and Ologe Lagoons in Lagos State, Nigeria, and to investigate if consumption of the fish has any human health risks problem. Fish, water and sediment samples were collected for three months (May - July 2023) using standard procedures. Data were computed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 22) and analyzed with analysis of variance while the differences in mean were separated using Least Significant Difference at p<0.05 being considered significant. There were no significant (p>0.05) spatial variations in the BTEX concentration in the water column, sediment and fish collected from Badagry, Ojo and Ologe Lagoons. Levels of BTEX in water, sediment and fish across the three sampling Lagoons were lower than the standard maximum permissible levels. Benzene with 3.57x10-8, 3.57x10-8 and 7.13 x 10-8 represent the highest hazard quotient (HQ) in C. nigrodigitatus from Badagry, Ojo and Ologe Lagoons respectively. Similarly, benzene with 7.13 x 10-8, 7.13 x 10-8 and 1.07x10-7 had the highest HQ in O. niloticus from Badagry, Ojo and Ologe Lagoons respectively. For I. africana, same value of benzene (3.57x10-8) was obtained as the highest HQ across Badagry, Ojo and Ologe Lagoons. Xylene had the least HQ in C. nigrodigitatus (Badagry and Ologe), O. niloticus (Ologe and Ojo) and I. Africana (Badagry and Ojo). However, HQ of toluene was the least for C. nigrodigitatus (Ojo), O. niloticus (Badagry), while ethylbenzene had lowest HQ in I. africana from Ologe lagoon. The estimated hazard index (HI) which ranged from 4.14x10-8 in C. nigrodigitatus (from Badagry lagoon) to 1.14x10-7 in O. niloticus (from Ologe lagoon) inferred no likelihood of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic incidents when the fish species are consumed. Hence, the examined fishes are safe for human consumption.

Published: August 2024

Gear type and characteristics, catch rates and landings, and the status of the Acetes beach seine fishery in Miagao, Iloilo were investigated based on the fishery-dependent data and formal interviews on all the coastal barangays. Specimen collection for morphological identification of species and determining the catch per unit effort (CPUE) were conducted at Brgy. Damilisan, Miagao, Iloilo from November 2021 to April 2022. The genus Acetes is known to aggregate in the coastal waters during nighttime and are captured using beach seines. The results of the morphological analysis revealed that the specimens collected were Acetes intermedius. In Miagao, there were 28 licensed beach seine operators. The total line length of a beach seine towing line ranged from 130 to 280 m and was deployed at depths of 5 – 60 m. The operators were all males, and most of them worked under an owner having an income of PHP 516.67 – PHP 2,673.33 per week. The crew comprises 4 to 5 persons, including the operator, 2–3 boat rowers, and 1 in charge of deploying the net; the rest are rope haulers. The operations were affected by environmental factors such as monsoons, tides, open and closed seasons, and hauling time. In Brgy. Damilisan, the highest monthly mean catch rate was 90.33 kg/haul, and the highest monthly estimated total landings was 2341.44 kg, which was recorded in January 2022. The information collected defined the seasonality of Acetes and the fishery practices that will help in the management of the beach seine fishery.
Metamorphic Success and Production cost of Holothuria scabra Reared on Microalgae Concentrates Compared with Live Microalgae
Authors: Garpa Tomilyn Jan , Caasi Olivier Josh , Juinio–Meñez Marie Antonette
Published: August 2024

The production of live microalgae poses challenges for the expansion of sandfish hatcheries, hindered by high costs and limited technical resources. In relation to this, the use of three imported commercial concentrates (Instant Algae®) - TW1200 (Thalassiosira weisflogii), TISO1800 (Isochrysis sp.), and Shellfish1800 (mixed diatom) - were compared with live Chaetoceros calcitrans (CC). The diet efficacy was evaluated based on larval development, growth, and survival to late auricularia (LA) with hyaline spheres (HS), and the number of post-settled juveniles. Larvae reared with TW did not progress beyond LA, while those fed CC exhibited earlier LA development, larger sizes (1028.43 ± 19.38 μm), and significantly more post–settled juveniles (9,268 ± 2,183.79) compared to SHELL and TISO. Although TISO larvae reached a larger size during LA (855.7 ± 62.67 μm), SHELL resulted in a higher number of post-settled juveniles. The better performance of CC and SHELL may be attributed to their higher carbohydrate content. Despite SHELL and TISO having lower juvenile yields and longer feeding durations, the estimated cost per juvenile using SHELL, TISO, and CC were PHP 2.00, PHP 11.77, and PHP 0.52, respectively. Results showed that microalgae concentrates are not a cost-effective option under the studied conditions. The potential use of microalgae concentrates as supplemental feeds and further research to develop the use of local microalgae concentrates to sandfish larval culture are discussed.

Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVE

Fronto-facial monobloc advancement with internal distraction (FFMBA) is a key procedure in the management of syndromic craniosynostoses. FFMBA involves circumferential dissection and linear enlargement of the orbit, potentially leading to mechanical stress on the optic nerve (ON). Several reports of transient vision loss during the distraction process led us to investigate ON shape modifications during facial advancement, with the aim to potentially refine current clinical guidelines on postoperative management and the distraction schedule.

METHODS

Twenty-six patients with Crouzon syndrome were included in this study. ONs were segmented on pre- and postoperative CT scans. Distraction amplitudes, linear and curved lengths, and cross-section diameters of the ON were assessed along the main axis of the nerve. A two-level hierarchical multivariate linear model was used to screen for factors associated with ON morphology.

RESULTS

The mean age at FFMBA was 4.4 ± 3.8 years. Two patients presented with transient impaired vision during distraction. The final mean fronto-orbital and temporo-zygomatic distraction amplitudes were 18 ± 4 mm and 18 ± 6 mm, respectively. At the end of distraction, ONs were elongated (+1.8 mm for curved lengths, p = 0.013), and their mean cross-section was reduced (−1.9 mm2, p < 0.001) in the proximal intraorbital portion (first 15 mm). In the 2 patients with visual symptoms, functional impairment was associated with ON area reduction (OR 0.487, p < 0.001) and increased temporo-zygomatic distraction amplitude (OR 2.240, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

ON was elongated during FFMBA, with proximal diameter reduction. Transient visual impairment with normal fundus examination during distraction seemed to have a morphological basis, based on 2 cases. These results suggest the importance of vision monitoring associated with fundus examination during distraction, and advocate for early extubation after FFMBA to allow clinical follow-up.
Lead slowing-down neutron spectrometry 1: cross-section data for 241Am(n, f), 242mAm(n, f), 243Am(n, f) at energies up to 100 keV
Authors: Koptelov E. A.
Published: August 2024

A review of the results of a series of works performed by a joint group of researchers from the INR RAS and the SSC RF–IPPE on the lead slowing-down neutron spectrometer SVZ-100 to measure the fission cross-sections of americium isotopes 241Am, 242mAm, 243Am by neutrons with energies below 100 keV is presented. Due to the large mass of the working substance (100 tons of high-purity lead) and the generation of neutrons by protons with an energy of 209 MeV at the INR RAS accelerator, the high aperture ratio of the SVZ-100 made it possible to study neutron-nuclear processes in microgram samples of radioactive nuclides, which is not available in experiments using time-of-flight spectrometry. Unique scientific information has been obtained, partially compensating for the missing, or supplementing the existing, but often contradictory or insufficient data of experiments performed both on time-of-flight facilities and on lead slowing-down neutron spectrometers at other research centres. The results of the work of INR RAS–SSC RF–IPPE are reflected in international nuclear databases and indicate in a number of cases the need to adjust the recommended approximating and calculated values. Information is provided on the few carried out experiments and planned studies of neutron-induced fission cross-sections of americium isotopes in other centres after the completion of the work of the INR RAS–SSC RF–IPPE.

The study that assessed the impact of treatment of groundnut shell on performance, nutrient digestibility, and nitrogen utilization by Sokoto red goats was carried out at Professor Lawal Abdu Saulawa Livestock Teaching and Research Farm, Federal University Dustin-Ma, Katsina State.  Fifteen growing male goats used for the experiment were allotted to three treatments at five for each treatment in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with each one serving as a replicate. The experiment comprised of three treatments namely T1, T2 and T3 at inclusion levels of urea treated GNS at 0%, 10% and 20% respectively. The feeding trial was carried out for 84 days. Growth, digestibility, and nitrogen utilization parameters were measured. The proximate analysis revealed slight increase in crude protein while crude fibre decreased with increased level of inclusion of GNS. Lignin composition also slightly reduced from 11.90% in T1 to 10.90% (T3). There were significant differences (P<0.05) in weight gain per day, daily feed intake and feed efficiency. Average daily weight gain (75g/day) and feed efficiency (0.15) were higher in treatment T3 than those of other treatments but with lower average dry matter intake (490.83g/day). The nitrogen intake, faecal nitrogen, urine nitrogen, nitrogen absorbed, nitrogen balance, and nitrogen retained were significantly different (P<0.05) across the treatments. Treatment T3 which contained 20% inclusion level of UGNS was the best among all the diets because it contained 86.90% CPD, 95.66% EED, 92.76%, CFD 17.45%, 14.27 g/day nitrogen balance and 81.82% nitrogen retention.  The feed cost per kg liveweight gain was significantly less (P<0.05) in treatment T3. The conclusion of the study was that treatment T3, which contained 20% urea treated GNS performed better than others.

Published: August 2024

This research aims to describe the representation translation process in solving linear programming problems. The representation translation process will be explained at each stage of problem-solving according to Polya. The types of representation that will be explained are algebraic, numerical, graphic, and verbal. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of two mathematics education students taking linear programming courses. Both subjects are students with high mathematical abilities who have good communication skills so that researchers can explore more in-depth information about the representation translation process. The instrument in this research is a linear program test which consists of two problems. The research results showed that subject 1 (S1) and subject 2 (S2) fulfilled three stages of problem-solving, namely understanding the problem, making a plan, and implementing the plan. Both subjects used all four representations in solving problems. The translation process that occurs starts with exploring sources, compiling initial knowledge, building targets, and determining suitability.
Effect of agroclavine on NK activity in vivo under normal and stress conditions in rats
Authors: Starec M , Fišerová A , Rosina J , Málek J , Kršiak M
Published: August 2024

Agroclavine is a natural, clavine type of ergot alkaloid with D1 dopamine and ?-adrenoceptor agonistic properties. We showed previously that in vitro agroclavine enhances natural killer (NK) cell activity, increases interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma production and prolongs the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. The aim of this study was 1) to test the effect of agroclavine on NK activity in vivo, and 2) to assess the potential toxicity of high doses of agroclavine on cardiac and liver functions using creatine kinase MB (CKMB) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as biochemical markers in normal and stressed animals. The effect of stress was studied because we examined promising anticancer properties of agroclavine and malignant diseases are supposed to be a potent stressful event for patients. In our experiments 3-month-old male rats of the Wistar-Kyoto strain were used. Agroclavine was injected intraperitoneally (0.5 mg/kg or 0.05 mg/kg) 30 min before stress (four hours' restraint and immersion in 23 °C water). The animals were killed 30 min after stress, blood was collected and the spleen was removed. Non-stressed animals treated with agroclavine were killed 5 h after the drug administration. The results confirmed our previous in vitro results and showed that also in vivo agroclavine increases NK cell activity under non-stress conditions. Agroclavine only slightly increased CKMB and had no influence on ALT in non-stressed animals. These promising results are limited by the fact that agroclavine (0.5 mg/kg) diminished NK cell activity and significantly increased ALT and CKMB under stress conditions.
MATRIX METALOPROTEINASE AS A POTENTIAL SALIVARY BIOMARKER FOR ORAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
Authors: Santoso Astrid Widhowaty , Setiadhi Riani
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the most prevalent form of oral cancer. The five-year survival rate for OSCC varies considerably depending on the stage of the disease, ranging from 40% to 60%. The majority of cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in a significantly reduced life expectancy. Therefore, there is a clear need for effective strategies to detect cancer at an early stage. Aim: The objective of this article is to identify the potential of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) as a salivary biomarker for the early detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Review: Saliva is considered a potential source of biomarkers for oral cancer due to its continuous contact with cancerous lesions in the oral cavity and the various enzymes, hormones, antibodies, antimicrobial constituents, and cytokines it contains. MMP is an extracellular endopeptidase enzyme present in saliva and associated with the carcinogenesis process. It has been identified as a salivary biomarker for the early detection of OSCC. The levels of several MMP proteins in the saliva of OSCC patients have been found to be elevated, including MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-11, MMP-12, and MMP-13. Conclusion: The increased levels of salivary MMP, which were most specifically found in OSCC patients, included MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-12, and MMP-13. This suggests that MMP may be a potential salivary biomarker for the early detection of OSCC

Published: August 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential protective impact of anthocyanin against tissue damage and oxidative stress provoked by varicocele within the testes of adult rats. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 male rats were divided into four groups as follows: a control group undergoing a sham procedure, a varicocele group without intervention (V), a varicocele group treated with anthocyanin (VA), and a group receiving anthocyanin treatment alone. Following a 56-day treatment period, the indicators of oxidative stress were gauged in the blood plasma, while histological modifications were evaluated utilizing the hematoxylin and eosin staining technique. Results: In the varicocele group treated with anthocyanin, we observed noteworthy enhancements in Johnsen score, epithelium thickness, and seminiferous tubule diameter compared to the untreated varicocele group. Treatment groups exhibited substantial elevations in testosterone levels and antioxidant enzyme levels. Furthermore, there was a reduction in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), an established marker of oxidative damage, and a decline in histological damage in the treatment groups. Conclusions: The outcomes underscore the potential safeguarding influence of anthocyanin against testicular damage stemming from varicocele induction, suggesting its beneficial role in countering oxidative stress and tissue impairment.

Surviving Suicide: Emotional Reconstruction of the Bereaved
Authors: Fidan Fatma Zehra
Published: August 2024

Objectives: Suicide is a stigmatized and marginalized act by society that damages the lives of those close to the suicidal person and makes rebuilding their lives difficult. In understanding the social reality after suicide, emotions that are components of social action play a key role. This study’s main aim is to understand the emotions of those close to the suicidal person and the cultural roots of these emotions. Materials and Methods: To obtain the necessary data, in-depth interviews were conducted with 23 individuals who were close to someone who had committed suicide, and the data were analyzed using discourse analysis. Results: The following results were obtained: Anger was the most prominent emotion in those close to the suicidal person. This anger was directed toward actors who were indifferent to the problems that led to suicide and toward the individual who committed suicide. Those close to the suicidal person were in a state of anger, shame, fear, guilt, and fear of being blamed due to social stigma and marginalization. The most significant feature of those close to the deceased is the emotional disturbances resulting from the coexistence of opposing emotions. Conclusions: Making periodic programs for the treatment of relatives of people who committed suicide and spreading a functional education program to all stages of education to raise individuals sensitive to human rights are among the urgent measures that the state of social law can take.

Authors: Shabana Marwa E. , Soliman Ahmed S.A , Abouelfadl Dalia M. , Yassen Noha N.
Published: August 2024

Background: Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a highly aggressive tumor of the digestive tract, and its incidence and mortality rates are gradually rising. Tumor metastasis is considered a major obstacle to successful treatment. Therefore, assessing new biomarkers of CRC metastasis and prognosis is mandatory. CD82 is regarded as a wide-spectrum metastasis and invasion suppressor. Loss of CD82 expression is a commonly notable biological characteristic of colon carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of KAI-1/CD82 as prognostic markers in various stages of CRC. Materials and Methods: Paraffin blocks and clinicopathological data of 50 patients with CRC were obtained from private laboratories. The expression of CD82 tumor cells was immunohistochemically assessed by image analysis in all specimens of CRC. CD82 cell tumor cell expression was classified into low and high groups. Results: Among the 50 cases of CRC, 18 (36%) had high levels of positive KAI1/CD82 expression, whereas 32 cases (64%) had low levels. The immunohistochemical expression of KAI1/CD82 in CRC cases under investigation showed statistically significant inverse correlations with depth of invasion, presence of distant metastasis, stage, and Duke’s classification, but not with tumor grade or lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Accordingly, immunomorphometric analysis of CD82 in tumor cells can be utilized as an accurate tool to assess factors such as prognosis, treatment response, metastatic disease, and tumor recurrence. KAI1/CD82 may be viable therapeutic targets to reduce the risk of CRC patients developing metastatic disease.

Authors: Kazerani Marzieh , Raji Sara , Javadi Rad Fatemeh , Mottaghi Mahdi
Published: August 2024

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) is the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which leads to increased inflammation and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels to predict inflammatory conditions in HD patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 eligible maintenance HD patients referred to 22 Bahman and 17 Shahrivar hospitals in Mashhad were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. We collected demographic and clinical data, as well as values of inflammatory markers such as NLR, PLR, and hs-CRP, from the patient’s medical records. Results: Forty-six of the patients were female. The mean age of the patients was 37.96±10.29 years, and the mean duration of HD was 54.32±50 months. The mean hs-CRP levels, NLR, and PLR were 6.08±5.70 mg/L, 2.79±1.18, and 125.80±57.14, respectively. The results showed a statistically significant and direct relationship between PLR and hs-CRP levels (P=0.01). There was no correlation between NLR and hs-CRP levels (P=0.8). Additionally, PLR was inversely correlated with hs-CRP in hypertensive patients (r=-0.283, P=0.04), female patients (r=0.3, P=0.04), and patients with HD duration of less than five years (r=0.3, P=0.001). Conclusion: Based on these findings, the PLR is a useful inflammatory marker in HD patients with ESRD that correlates with hs-CRP levels. We recommend further investigations to establish its accuracy in clinical care.

Nowadays there is a trend emerging in academic events. Among students, it has become a communal tradition to give gift bouquets at special academic moments such as completion of proposal exams, results exams, final or thesis exams, and graduation. This also happened to IAKN Toraja students. This research aims to find patterns and motivations for giving gift bouquets among IAKN Toraja students because this tradition has never happened before. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative field study with data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews, and literature study. The results of data collection were validated, then analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions, and verification. The research results show that the pattern of giving gifts is an old tradition but has emerged with a new face as a trend due to a series of social change processes supported by the power of social media. Motivation for giving gifts as a form of appreciation, sign of love, expression of happiness, joy, form of care, and memories. Giving gifts among students can be categorized as charity in the version stated by Mauss because students do not always expect to receive gifts in return, but most give sincerely on the basis of friendship. As for students who feel burdened to reply, this is more of a form of kindness, so they don't want a reply or want a reply basically to strengthen social relations.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pola pemberian hadiah tersebut merupakan tradisi lama namun muncul dengan wajah yang baru sebagai tren dikarenakan adanya rangkaian proses perubahan sosial yang didukung oleh kekuatan sosial media. Motivasi pemberian hadiah sebagai bentuk Apresiasi, Penghargaan, Tanda Kasih, Ekspresi Kebahagiaan, suka cita, Bentuk Kepedulian, Kenangan. Pemberian hadiah di kalangan mahasiswa bisa dikategorikan charity dari versi yang dikatakan Mauss dikarenakan tak selamanya mahasiswa berharap dapat balasan hadiah tapi kebanyakan memberi ikhlas atas dasar pertemanan. Adapun mahasiswa yang merasa terbebani untuk membalas maka hal itu lebih ke bentuk kebaikan sehingga tak ingin balasan maupun ingin balasan pada dasarnya untuk memperkuat hubungan sosial.

У статті узагальнено передумови розвитку музично-педагогічної освіти Буковини до 50-х рр. ХХ ст. із урахуванням соціокультурних, громадсько-просвітницьких, ідеологічних, персонологічних чинників. Основними передумовами розвитку музично-педагогічної освіти визначено: ідеологічний тиск в умовах панування Австро-Угорщини, Румунії; багатонаціональність регіону; розвиток традицій хорового співу та потреба підготовки педагогів для діяльності хорів, заснування музичних товариств («Чернівецький союз співаків», «Товариство сприяння музичному мистецтву на Буковині», «Чоловіче співацьке товариство», «Буковинський Боян», «Союз», «Союз українських професійних музик» тощо); діяльність музичних шкіл, насамперед музичної школи імені М. Лисенка в Чернівцях; заснування державної Чернівецької чоловічої учительської семінарії, її жіночого відділення; функціонування приватних учительських шкіл; відкриття Чернівецького університету; заснування педагогічної школи, далі педагогічного училища на основі учительської семінарії; створення Чернівецької консерваторії музики та драматичного мистецтва тощо. Важливою передумовою розвитку музично-педагогічної освіти на Буковині стала активна, діяльнісна позиція представників різних сфер освіти, громадських і культурних діячів, які власною професійною педагогічною, мистецькою діяльністю утверджували національні мистецькі, освітні традиції (Ю. Федькович, С. Воробкевич, І. Сінкевич А. Гржімалі, Є. Мандичевський та ін.).

У статті висвітлюється структура розробленої моделі: її концептуально-цільовий, змістовий, технолого-методичний, організаційно-діяльнісний і результативний компоненти, ціннісно-змістова основа й функції кожного з них. Обґрунтовано склад концептуально-цільового компонента модельного конструкту. Розкрито такі його елементи: 1) загальну мету моделювання 2) методологічні підходи; 3) цілі підготовки: складники системи професійно-цифрових компетентностей викладача (реалізована ідея ізоморфної відповідності груп компетентностей певним професійним функціям); 4) дві групи принципів досягнення цих цільових орієнтирів. Акцентовано увагу на провідних функціях змістового компонента моделі. Схарактеризовано цілісні властивості і напрями оновлення змісту підготовки: культуропанівний, системно-цифровий, цілісно-розвивальний, гуманістично-психопедагогічний, валеологічно-захисний і євроінтеграційний. У технолого-методичному компоненті моделі віддзеркалено складники двох авторських технологій: 1) організації цілісного саморозвитку майбутніх викладачів у модульно-розвивальній системі їх дистанційного і змішаного навчання; 2) психолого-педагогічного супроводу культивування майбутнім викладачем психічного оздоровлення і національно значущих дій у ситуації воєнного стану в країні. Їх функція – виступати провідними цінностями-засобами розкриття оновленого змісту і досягнення нових цілей. Розкрито системні умови досягнення якості організації педагогічних дій у вимірі оновлених цілей підготовки. Зроблено акцент на результативному компоненті моделі, який виконує функцію сукупного відтворення потенційно можливого нового знання про професійну підготовку у педагогічному ЗВО.
Ключові слова: структура моделі; професійна підготовка; ЗВО; майбутній викладач; професійно-цифрові компетентності; принципи оновлення змісту; принципи побудови і реалізації технологій; цифровізація.

У статті визначено поняття військової освіти, професійного саморозвитку офіцерів розвідки і її складників, системи військової освіти в Україні та її компонентів, принципу освіти впродовж військової кар’єри. Проаналізовано систему неперервного професійного саморозвитку офіцерів розвідки в Україні, яка поєднує формальну та неформальну військову освіту. Формальна освіта охоплює здобуття ступенів бакалавра, магістра, доктора філософії та доктора наук, що забезпечує структуроване та академічне навчання. Неформальна освіта включає курси підвищення кваліфікації та професійну військову освіту, що спрямовані на неперервне професійне вдосконалення без присудження академічних кваліфікацій. У статті деталізовано варіативні шляхи професійного саморозвитку офіцерів розвідки, які включають послідовне здобуття освітніх ступенів та проходження курсів професійної військової освіти на тактичному, оперативному та стратегічному рівнях. Зазначено, що майбутні офіцери мають можливість будувати індивідуальні освітні траєкторії, поєднуючи формальну та неформальну освіту для досягнення високого рівня професійної підготовки. Особлива увага приділено концепції неперервного навчання, що дозволяє офіцерам розвідки поступово вдосконалювати свою військову майстерність протягом усієї кар’єри. Це досягається шляхом систематичного проходження курсів підвищення кваліфікації, що сприяють набуттю нових та вдосконаленню набутих професійних компетентностей. У ході дослідження з’ясовано, що поряд із здобуттям формальної освіти, офіцери розвідки систематично проходять підвищення кваліфікації за спеціальними програмами, які охоплюють різні рівні військової освіти. Це забезпечує неперервний професійний саморозвиток офіцерів на тактичному, оперативному та стратегічному рівнях. Робота підкреслює важливість інтеграції професійної військової освіти з системою управління кар’єрою, що сприяє ефективному впровадженню нових стратегій, технологій у військовій сфері.
Ключові слова: неперервна освіта; військова освіта; професійна військова підготовка; професійний саморозвиток; принцип освіти впродовж військової кар’єри; офіцери розвідки.
