В работе продемонстрированы возможности спектроскопии ядерного эффекта Овер-хаузера (NOESY) при определении долей групп конформеров молекул фенаматов на примере флуфенамовой кислоты. Установлено, что доли групп конформеров объек­та исследования меняются до 32 % при переходе от системы с чистым ДМСО-д6 к растворителю на основе СК-СО2с добавлением 2 мол. % ДМСО-д6. Результаты проведенного исследования демонстрируют перспективность использования раство­рителей на основе сверхкритических флюидов для контроля преобладающей кон-формации малых молекул слаборастворимых соединений, что имеет высокий потен­циал для подбора условий их микронизации методами RESS, SAS, DELOS.

The results showed possibilities of nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) for conformational analysis of fenamates molecules (e.g. flufenamic acid). It has been established that the proportions of conformer groups were changed up to 32 % upon transition from a system with pure DMSO to a solvent based on SC-CO2with the addition of 2 mol. % DMSO. The results of the study can be applied to control the conformational equilibrium of small drug-like molecules using supercritical fluids for slightly soluble compounds. This information is a high potential useful for fenamates micronization by the RESS, SAS, and DELOS methods.

С использованием оптической ячейки высокого давления в интервале температур 403-443 К и давлений 5,3-24,5 МПа исследовано фазовое равновесие системы сера-пропан/бутан и установлен V-й тип фазового поведения. Растворимость серы в сверхкритической пропан-бутановой смеси оценена на основе характеристик паровой ветви фазового равновесия системы сера-пропан/бутан и описана с использованием уравнения состояния Пенга-Робинсона в сочетании с правилом комбинирования Мухопадхъяи и Рао. Установлено, что пропан-бутановая смесь в сверхкритическом флюидном состоянии, наряду с хорошими экстракционными свойствами, позволяет осуществить процесс обессеривания товарных углеводоро­дов. Например, снижение давления с 25 до 7 МПа позволяет уменьшить содержание серы в продукте на изотерме 413 К в два раза, а на изотерме 443 К - в 10 раз.

The results of an experimental study of the phase equilibrium of the sulfur-propane/butane system carried out in the temperature range 403-443 K and pressure range 5.3-24.5 MРa using a high-pressure optical cell are presented. The V type of phase behavior is established. The solubility of sulfur in a supercritical propane-butane mixture under the above mentioned thermodynamic conditions is estimated based on the characteristics of the vapor branch of the phase equilibrium of the sulfur-propane/butane system and described using the Рeng-Robinson equation of state in combination with the rule of combining Mukhopadhyay and Rao. It has been established that the propane-butane mixture in the SCF state, along with good extraction properties, allows for the desulfurization of commercial hydrocarbons. Reducing the pressure from 25 to 7 MРa makes it possible to reduce the sulfur content at the 413 K isotherm by two times, at the 443 K isotherm by 10 times.
The Impact of Individual and School Factors on Girls' Mathematics Achievement in New Zealand: A Hierarchical Linear Modeling Analysis of Year 9 TIMSS 2019 Data
Authors: Gao Huayu , Evans Tanya , Brown Gavin T. L.
Published: September 2024

Employing hierarchical linear modelling, this study comprehensively examined the impact of individual and school factors on the mathematics achievement of 2,801 girls across 110 schools in New Zealand. The results revealed that decile (school SES) emerged as the most influential factor, while the impact of school gender composition (single-sex or co-educational) was minimal. Moreover, confidence exhibited a significant effect on girls' mathematics achievement, whereas the influence of interest was not statistically significant. Intriguingly, the negative impact of mathematics values on achievement was more pronounced in single-sex schools compared to their co-educational counterparts. By integrating factors from the previous three studies, this research provides critical insights that contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay of variables influencing girls' mathematics achievement in the New Zealand educational context.

Finding balance through compromising”. A grounded theory explaining barriers to evidence-based practice by course leaders in a small-specialist land-based higher education institution
Authors: van Veggel Nieky , Howlett Philip , Engward Hilary
Published: September 2024

The context of this research is course leadership in small specialist higher education institutions. Course leaders are pivotal members of the academic team, whose role bridges the interests of all institutional stakeholders. In small-specialist HEIs, course leader roles typically include pastoral care of students, curriculum development, quality assurance, admissions, course marketing and mentoring of colleagues. Despite the importance of this role, course leadership is under-researched. The limited research available focuses on the role itself, rather than course leader practice, with scant recognition of how course leaders use EBP. The purpose of this research is therefore to explain how course leaders use evidence to inform their practice in small-specialist HEIs.This study took a grounded theory approach to investigate evidence-based course leadership. Semi-structured interviews were held after which transcripts were coded and analysed through constant comparison and intensive memoing. The substantive theory “Finding balance through compromising” emerged from the data. This theory consists of three core categories: “finding balance”, “compromising” and “feeling undervalued”.The findings show that “compromising” takes place within the course leader role, between the course leader role and other roles held by the course leader within the small-specialist institution, and between the course leader’s professional and personal lives. Due to the underpinning factor “feeling undervalued”, course leaders rely on experience and institutional data, but not peer-reviewed evidence to inform their course leader practice, even though they do use these for their teaching practice. Course leaders explained that a lack of professional development, a lack of recognition and a lack of resources were the main causes for compromising, and that favouring experience-based practice over EBP is a means to find balance.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: This exploratory randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of an oral language intervention delivered in the heritage language for dual language learners (DLLs) whose home language differs from both the school and societal languages. The primary objective was to assess the intervention's impact on home language development and its transfer to second language skills.Method: The sample included 186 DLLs (48% girls) from Portuguese-speaking families in Luxembourg, where Luxembourgish is the societal language. With a mean age of 55 months at the study’s start, participants were randomly assigned to an oral language intervention in Portuguese or an active control intervention, both administered in preschool settings. Language assessments were conducted immediately post-intervention and nine months later.Results: Immediate post-intervention assessments showed significant gains in Portuguese language proficiency, including vocabulary, narrative skills, phonemic awareness, and letter knowledge, for the oral language intervention group compared to controls. Transfer effects were observed in Luxembourgish, with improvements in receptive vocabulary and phonemic awareness. Gains in Portuguese vocabulary and phonemic awareness were sustained at the nine-month follow-up.Conclusion: The findings indicate that school-based oral language interventions can enhance heritage language proficiency and facilitate skill transfer to specific domains of a second language. These results suggest that targeted preschool language support may benefit DLLs in developing both home and school language skills.

ONLINE LEARNING AND FACE-TO-FACE LEARNING: STUDENTS’ PREFERENCES AND PERCEPTIONS
Authors: Norhasanah
Published: September 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted face-to-face learning into online learning. This learning system has been conducted for more than a year. Teachers and students have to adapt to this condition. With such experience, students must have their opinions on these two learning modes. This study is aimed to find out students’ preferences and perceptions toward online learning that has been carried out during the pandemic and face-to-face learning that many educational institutions usually offer. It is also tried to investigate whether their perceptions influence their preferences for the learning mode. The data was collected using a survey and then analyzed using SPSS Statistics. Pearson Product Moment was used to analyze the correlation between variables, while students’ preferences and perceptions were explained through descriptive statistics. The results showed that 83 percent of students preferred face-to-face learning; they gave more positive responses toward face-to-face learning even though they also admitted the advantages offered by online learning. Another finding indicated that flexibility, ease of course, convenience, and time-saving influence students’ preference for online learning, while interaction and learning experience became some reasons for students to choose face-to-face learning. Most of the students had internet access to take online classes. However, they still considered face-to-face learning as an ideal class because 87 percent of students agreed that not all regions in Indonesia had good internet access to conduct online learning. This study was limited in generalizability since it was conducted in one university with only 64 students as participants; it was a small number of populations. However, this research could provide a little description and information related to students’ opinions on online learning. This study still needs to be improved with more participants and conducted in other places and situations.

VERBALIZATION OF THE CONCEPTUAL SPHERE “HEART” IN THE ENGLISH, RUSSIAN AND UZBEK LANGUAGE WORLD PICTURES
Authors: VALIEVA Nargizakhon
Published: September 2024

After the transition to the anthropocentric paradigm, several scientific studies are being conducted in cognitive linguistics; in particular, attention is paid to the concept since it is one of the main concepts of this field of linguistics. This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the verbalization of the concept of “heart” in English, Russian, and Uzbek languages. The author of the article gives the meanings and features of the term “concept” from the perspective of foreign and national linguists and also identifies the features of the concept structure. The study of the verbalization of the concept was carried out based on lexicographic data given in explanatory and phraseological dictionaries of the English, Russian, and Uzbek languages. The cognitive map of the concept of “heart” was made based on the structure of the concept given by cognitive scientists. The relevance of the topic of the work is that the work was carried out within the framework of a new anthropocentric linguistic direction - cognitive linguistics and the importance of the comparative study of languages to identify their national and cultural specifics. The novelty of this article is the fact that it was the first to make a cognitive analysis of the verbalization of the concept of “heart” in English, Russian, and Uzbek languages. The results of the study showed that despite the universal representation of the concept “heart” in any language, the concept in question has certain features of verbalization in each of the languages being compared.
THE ISSUE OF TYPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ECONOMIC PUBLICATIONS
Authors: RAKHMANOV Said
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the establishment and development of economic journalism in Uzbekistan, a relatively young but rapidly advancing field, as well as the primary responsibilities of mass media outlets that operate in this space. Comparative research was done on the scientific perspectives of national and global scientists, as well as an analysis of the typological features of economic publications. The topic of genres, a major determinant of print media's circulation, audience, distribution area, and popularity in the contemporary market economy and transitional time, is examined, and scientific recommendations are provided. The article's relevance lies in the fact that it identifies economic journalism issues through its typological characteristics. The typology of the press pays attention to circulation, and financial sustainability, and the fact that the readership has been declining in recent years has been proven by specific examples. Tabloid journalism elements are preserved, advertisements take up more space in newspapers, and economic analysis is highlighted as one of the main issues being studied in economic publications, showing their scientific novelty by providing recommendations and suggestions from a practical standpoint. Their implementation not only preserves the economic publication audience but also contributes to its expansion and increasing quality.
DISCOURSIVE PERSONALITY IN THE LIGHT OF CURRENT LINGUISTIC TRENDS: CONCEPT, STRUCTURE, AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
Authors: NORMURODOVA Nozliya
Published: September 2024

The anthropocentric approach in linguistics has led to the development of linguopersonology, whose central concept is the langauge identity (LI). LI is studied in terms of structure, typology, linguocognitive, psycholinguistic, and communicative-pragmatic aspects. The development of critical discourse analysis has expanded the concept of LI, transforming it into discursive personality (DP), which takes into account a person's linguistic abilities and discursive practices. A new theory of DP is being formed, which includes the study of DP in artistic discourse, where the author and characters are considered the models of DP. The relevance of the research is confirmed by the tasks of linguopersonology: the analysis of the structure, linguistic markers, and distinctive features of DP. The author's DP reflects a conceptually significant worldview, while the character's DP includes linguistic, communicative, cognitive, and cultural competences. The study of DP demonstrates anthropocentrism, associated with authorial modality and intentionality, and contributes to understanding the creative potential of the author and characters.

Mucociliar clearance is an innate defense mechanism that protects the
pulmonary system from the harmful consequences of inhaled agents,
including those of biological, chemical, and physical nature. Ciliated
cells, which line the surface epithelium of the airways, provide the
force necessary for mucociliary clearance by the coordinated beating
of their cilia. These highly specialized cells are therefore critical to the
health and function of the pulmonary system. In this article, the basic
biology of ciliated cells and the structure of the cilium are described.

PEDIATRIC FOREIGN BODY INGESTION - A CASE SERIES
Authors: Shankar Aiswerya , Ramalakshmi V.
Published: September 2024

Foreign body ingestion is a frequent and potentially serious issue in pediatric medicine. Children, driven by their natural
curiosity and tendency to explore their environment orally, are particularly susceptible to swallowing non-food items.
This phenomenon, most common in children aged six months to three years, can lead to a range of complications depending on the type, size,
shape, and location of the ingested object. Preventive measures are critical in reducing the incidence of foreign body ingestion. Parents and
caregivers should be educated about the risks and advised to keep small objects, batteries, and magnets out of reach of young children.
Additionally, educating parents about the importance of supervising young children during play and mealtimes can help mitigate the risk. In cases
where foreign body ingestion is suspected, prompt medical evaluation is essential.

VULNERABILIDADE OU MACHISMO: REFLEXÕES ACERCA DO PERSONAGEM INFERNINHO DO ROMANCE CIDADE DE DEUS
Authors: Fim Luciana Carvalho dos Reis
Published: September 2024

Após residir por vinte anos em Cidade de Deus, Paulo Lins coloca-se como protagonista deste espaço complexo e multifacetado. No entanto, a visibilidade conferida pela narrativa não se volta para os trabalhadores comuns, mas para aqueles envolvidos com a criminalidade ou que orbitam em torno dela. Curiosamente, essa visibilidade recai predominantemente sobre personagens masculinas, refletindo uma imposição machista que permeia o ambiente retratado. O objetivo desta análise é examinar como as ameaças que cercam a figura de Inferninho, descrito como “ora bandido, ora malandro”, são exacerbadas pela violência e pelo laço sanguíneo que o torna vulnerável, especialmente ao confrontar a presença de seu irmão Ari, descrito como uma “personagem-travestida” no romance Cidade de Deus (2002). A obra de Lins oferece um retrato cru e visceral da vida nas favelas cariocas, onde a narrativa transcende a mera descrição de conflitos periféricos, apresentando uma guerra contínua pelo poder, ascensão social e dinheiro. O conjunto habitacional Cidade de Deus não é apenas um cenário; é um símbolo da realidade social tanto carioca quanto brasileira, refletindo uma estrutura de poder desigual e uma luta incessante pela sobrevivência e pelo domínio. Através de uma exaustiva pesquisa e análise, o livro destaca a dinâmica de poder e a violência que permeiam a vida no conjunto habitacional. A visibilidade concedida às figuras masculinas envolvidas com a criminalidade, como Inferninho, revela não só as tensões intrínsecas à favela, mas também as normas e expectativas sociais que moldam e limitam as vidas dos personagens. A obra, portanto, oferece uma reflexão profunda sobre as estruturas de vulnerabilidade e machismo presentes na sociedade.

Background: Diabetes mellitus plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) by promoting the process of atherosclerosis thus patients with diabetes are comparatively at higher risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and is often associated with complex coronary artery disease. Aims and Objectives: To compare coronary angiographic findings of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Sylhet M.A.G. Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet during the period from January 2017 to June 2017. Fifty acute ST elevation myocardial infarction patients with diabetes and 50 acute ST elevation myocardial infarction patients without diabetes fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. Diagnostic coronary angiography was performed via the trans-femoral approach using standard techniques. Cine angiographic films were analyzed independently by two experienced operators who had no knowledge of the patient's clinical information. Results: The age of the diabetic and non-diabetic patients were similar (51.82 ± 9.19 years versus 52.66 ± 10.22 years; p=0.667), sex [45 (90.0%) male and 5 (10.0%) versus 42 (84.0%) male and 8 (16.0%) female; p=0.372] and common risk factors such as smoking [26 (52.0%) versus 31 (62.0%); p=0.313], hypertension [27 (54.0%) versus 36 (72.0%); p=0.062] dyslipidaemia [45 (90.0%) versus 39 (78.0%); p=0.102] and family history of CAD [14 (28.0%) versus 16 (32.0%); p=0.663]. No vessel disease was [0 (0.0%) versus 7 (14.0%); p<0.05] was significantly fewer in diabetic than in non-diabetic but single vessel disease [13 (26.0%) versus 18 (36.0%); p>0.05], double vessel disease [19 (38.0%) versus 10 (20.0%); p>0.05], triple vessel disease [16 (32.0%) versus 14 (28.0%); p>0.05] and left main coronary artery involvement [2 (4.0%) versus 1 (2.0%); p>0.05] ...

Growth-promoting hormones are produced naturally in the animal body and can also be artificially synthesized and supplemented. It is challenging for control laboratories to monitor them and verify if the presence of certain RALs is due to an illegal practice or natural occurrence. Resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) are Zeranol (α-zearalanol) and its primary metabolite taleranol (β-zearalanol), which also include α- and β-zearalenol, zearalenone and zearalenone. Administration of zeranol, a non-steroidal oestrogenic growth-promoting compound, to animals raised as food is banned in the EU due to the potential risk to human health. Commonly found in animal feed is zearalenone also known as the Fusarium spp. toxin. The purpose of this study was to monitor the farms from which urine samples were taken, if zeranol or taleranol were used as a growth promoter for weight gain or if their presence would be a consequence of feed contamination with zearalenone. Through the statistical model we can distinguish illegal use of zeranol from consumption of food contaminated with Fusarium spp. toxin based on comparing the sum of zeranol and taleranol mass concentrations with the sum of zearalenone and its two major metabolites, α and β-zearalenol. We have analyzed urine samples using a confirmatory method by LC-MS/MS. The samples were taken from different regions of Albania. During the year 2023 from January to December, forty eight (n=48) urine samples from sheep, goat, swine were taken in the study. After analysis, all the urine samples resulted compliant lower than the decision limit for confirmation CCα for all compounds except three (n=3) urine samples, two from sheep and one from swine. Based on statistical model we can conclude that the feed was contaminated by mycotoxin Zearalenone. But further investigation should be conduct, to indicate the origin of the finding in order to protect animal health and public health.

The shallot plant is a strategic vegetable product horticultural commodity with high economic value. The research aims to determine the effect of sago waste bokashi on three shallot varieties on peatlands. This research was conducted in Alah Air Village, Tebing Tinggi District, Meranti Islands Regency, Riau Province, for four months, from September to December 2023. The study used a completely randomized design with two factors, namely bokashi sago waste (dolomite, dolomite + stem bark, dolomite + fronds, dolomite + sago pulp, dolomite + mixture of the three sago wastes) and shallot varieties (bima brebes, Trisula, and ss Sakato). Parameters observed were plant height, number of leaves, percentage of bulbs formed at 35 hst, number of leaves, number of bulbs per clump, weight of wet bulbs per plot, weight of dry bulbs per plot, and percentage of bulb shrinkage. The results showed that the parameters of the percentage of bulbs appearing 35 hst and the number of bulbs had a significant effect. In contrast, the parameters of plant height, number of bulbs per clump, wet weight per plot, and dry weight per plot were not significantly affected.

Published: September 2024

This study applies Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) SWOT analysis to evaluate Quick Response Code for Payment (QRIS) technology services in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). IPA results show variables in Quadrant I (top priority for improvement), Quadrant II (maintain quality), Quadrant III (low priority), and Quadrant IV (may be excessive). In this context, data security risks and QRIS controllability were identified as top priorities. SWOT analysis, based on IPA results, reveals MSME strengths in security risk control and QRIS controllability, as well as weaknesses in variables that are considered low-priority or possibly excessive. Opportunities lie in potential improvements to data security and QRIS controllability, while threats may arise from variables that are considered low priority or may be overrated. Recommendations involve focusing on developing data security, maintaining good service quality, and efficient resource allocation according to the needs of MSMEs.

The stock market plays a crucial role in the allocation of capital and the economic growth of a country, including Indonesia. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the stock prices of companies within the LQ45 Index during the 2019-2022 period. Through an empirical analysis approach, this research explores the impact of capital structure (Debt to Equity Ratio - DER), liquidity (Cash Ratio), ownership structure (Institutional and Managerial Ownership), and company size on stock prices.This study aims to analyze the factors influencing stock prices of companies listed in the LQ45 Index during the period of 2019-2022. Financial data and market information were collected to identify significant factors affecting stock prices. The study employed multiple linear regression analysis to explore the relationship between independent variables, namely capital structure (DER), liquidity (Cash ratio), ownership structure (KI and KM), and company size (SIZE), with stock prices. The results show that, in this context, Institutional Ownership (KI) has a significant positive effect on stock prices, while Company Size (SIZE) also has a significant influence. These findings indicate that these factors collectively contribute to determining stock prices. The implications of this research provide a deeper understanding of the factors influencing stock price behavior in the capital market.
