Using the SolidWorks automated design system, analytical studies of the вЂњTurbulaвЂќ type rolling machine with an additional movable rocker link with a vertical axis of rotation were carried out for the possibility of determining the dependence between the change in the movement modes of the working array and the design features of this rolling machine. It is noted that the movement of the working array in the filling tanks with different types of movement can be carried out in cascade, waterfall, mixed, as well as closed modes of movement. During the implementation of each mode of movement of the working array, conditions are created for the performance of appropriate felting technological operations or mixing of loose fine-dispersed substances. It was established that the change in the modes of movement of the working array in the rolling container performing complex spatial movement depends on three factors вЂ“ the large-scale standard size of the rolling machine, the angular velocity of the drive shaft and the ratio of the interaxial distance of the container to the interaxial distance of the forks, which is characterized by the coefficient О», the relationship is established the relationship between these factors. Mathematical dependencies have been obtained to determine the maximum angular speed of the drive shaft of the вЂњTurbulaвЂќ type rolling machine with an additional movable rocker link with a vertical axis of rotation, which will correspond to the implementation of the necessary mode of movement of the working array, when it moves in a given capacity. The obtained results of analytical studies can be used in the relevant design bureaus of machine-building enterprises at the stage of designing rolling equipment with complex spatial movement of working capacities.
ВИЛЬЯМ ШЕКСПИР, РУССКИЙ ПОЭТ: ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ ТЕКСТА СОНЕТОВ ШЕКСПИРА В ПЕРЕВОДАХ С. Я. МАРШАКА

Published: May 2023

В статье предпринимается попытка ответить на вопрос о случайном или регулярном характере отклонений переводов, выполненных С. Я. Маршаком, от оригинальных текстов сонетов Вильяма Шекспира. С целью сравнения привлекаются переводы А. М. Финкеля. Сопоставление текстов сонетов с их переводами приводит к выводу о том, что для переводов Маршака характерно использование крайне малого количество словарных эквивалентов лексики Шекспира. С. Я. Маршак систематически использует метонимический перенос по модели «низкое — высокое» (в буквальном — пространственном — и переносном смысле), частными случаями которого являются модели «расположенное ниже — расположенное выше», «те лесное — бестелесное», «орган человека — его функция», «источник звука — звук». В переводах Маршака сонеты наполняются эпитетами, отсутствующими у Шекспира, и меняется цветовая палитра Шекспира, которую Маршак обогащает, при этом иногда сознательно заменяя в тексте простые цвета на более сложные. Смягчаются или вообще исчезают отрицательные коннотации слов. Меняется синтаксис стиха: повелительные предложения заменяются условными или повествовательными; упрек и вопрос превращаются в афористические высказывания. Исключение из общей тенденции С. Я. Маршака смягчать тексты сонетов Шекспира — 66-й сонет, экспрессия которого в переводе усилена. В статье делается предположение о том, что этот сонет С. Я. Маршак использовал как рупор для выражения своих эмоций по поводу событий 1937–1948 гг.
ОККАЗИОНАЛЬНОЕ СЛОВО ПОЭТА КАК ЕДИНИЦА ПЕРЕВОДА (НА ПРИМЕРЕ АНГЛОЯЗЫЧНОГО ПЕРЕВОДА СТИХОТВОРЕНИЯ ВЕЛИМИРА ХЛЕБНИКОВА «КУЗНЕЧИК»)

Published: May 2023

В статье на материале стихотворения В. Хлебникова «Кузнечик» и его англоязычного перевода, выполненного Полом Шмидтом, рассматриваются приемы межъязыковой передачи сложно структурированных значений индивидуально-авторских неологизмов. Перевыражение стихотворения, содержащего «непереводимые» окказионализмы, рассматривается как акт поэтического сотворчества переводчика, воссоздающего эстетико-филологический эксперимент Хлебникова средствами другого языка. Формально-эстетическая эквивалентность перевода (максимально возможная передача всех идейно-эстетических, прагматических, языковых и индивидуально-стилистических особенностей исходного текста) начинается с отбора единиц перевода разных уровней. На глобальном уровне переводчик работает с системой текстовых значений, которые продуцируются стихотворением как единым смысловым целым. На локальном уровне требуется воспроизведение экспериментов с формой и содержанием, которые привели к появлению в исходном тексте индивидуально-выразительных знаков. Руководствуясь требованиями минимальности и мотивированности переводческих трансформаций, переводчик принимает во внимание возможность (а) полного или частичного воссоздания исходного словообразовательного механизма производства окказионализма и (б) полного или частичного сохранения исходного значения нового слова. Эквивалентная передача окказиональных значений достигается в переводе путем комплексной семантической трансформации исходного поэтического сообщения. Нетривиальные переводческие решения и применение переводческих приемов компенсации, экспликации, лексической замены, добавления и перестановки позволяют минимизировать потери в межъязыковой передаче сообщения. При этом частичная реконцептуализация (отличающееся от оригинала профилирование внимания читателя и детализация когнитивной сцены, сдвиг отношений между репрезентируемыми объектами и т. п.) на локальном уровне является объективно необходимой процедурой, позволяющей добиться эквивалентности перевода на глобальном макротекстовом уровне.
РИТОРИКА ФЕОФАНА ПРОКОПОВИЧА И ИСТОКИ КАНТЕМИРОВСКОЙ ПОЭТИКИ
Authors:   Петрозаводский государственный университет, Патроева Н.В. , Лебедев А.А.
Published: May 2023

В статье на материале риторических трудов Феофана Прокоповича и стихотворных текстов А. Д. Кантемира рассматривается специфика построения литературных произведений XVIII века в контексте риторики. Анализируются предпосылки, связанные с формированием индивидуально-авторского стиля А. Д. Кантемира, сопоставляются системы тропов и фигур речи в работах Ф. Прокоповича и использование риторических приемов в стихотворениях А. Д. Кантемира. Описываются особенности риторики Феофана Прокоповича (выделение групп словесных и смысловых фигур, отказ от вычурности и «словесных прикрас»; разделение всех фигур речи на три группы — для поучения, для услаждения, для возбуждения переживаний), рассматриваются особенности использования фигур речи в поэзии А. Д. Кантемира (в качестве доминант поэзии отмечаются инверсия, эллипсис, лексический повтор, период, риторический вопрос). Приводятся примеры совмещения нескольких фигур речи в пределах стихотворного контекста (инверсия, эллипсис, анафора, лексический повтор, асиндетон; гипербола, метафора, метонимия, инверсия и пр.). А. Д. Кантемир воплощает в своем творчестве жанр сатиры как синкретический; в этом случае тексты не только являются наставительными, но и способны затронуть эмоциональную составляющую. Сделан вывод о значимой роли Антиоха Кантемира в развитии жанра сатиры, как с точки зрения стилистической и языковой эклектичности, так и в аспекте использования риторических средств и приемов.
СЕМАНТИЧЕСКИЕ ПРЕОБРАЗОВАНИЯ В КОНТЕКСТАХ С НАРЕЧИЯМИ В ПОЭЗИИ БОРИСА ПАСТЕРНАКА
Authors:   Институт русского языка им. В. В. Виноградова РАН, Фатеева Н.А.
Published: May 2023

В поэзии Пастернака обращает на себя внимание обилие словосочетаний с наречиями, которые наряду со своим основным значением передают идею интенсивности. Данное явление было отмечено исследователями поэзии Пастернака и прежде всего А. К. Жолковским в работе «“Обстоятельства великолепия”: об одной пастернаковской части речи» (1980). В нашей статье такие нестандартные пастернаковские контексты с наречиями анализируются с точки зрения семантических преобразований, а также качественно-количественного синкретизма и синестезии. Отмечается, что у Пастернака полнота и предельность действия или высокая степень проявленности признака обозначается каждый раз по-разному, в зависимости от семантики глагола или другого определяемого слова (лексическая функция Magn), иногда наречная группа представляет собой фразеологизм. При этом наречия, синтезирующие в себе качественное и количественное значение, нередко несут в себе идею хаотичности, беспорядочности, импровизационности, случайности, которая отражает полноту и «великолепие» пастернаковского мира (ср. врасплох, впопыхах, наугад, наобум, невпопад, на авось). Наречия не только создают семантическое смещение в контексте, внося в него смысловой оттенок интенсивности и импровизационности, но и обнаруживают персонифицирующее значение. Олицетворяющим элементом при этом могут являться только наречия (Разгневанно цветут каштаны), но в большинстве случаев наречие создает персонификацию вместе с глаголом, т. е. наречие интенсифицирует глагольную метафору, что иногда сопровождается и паронимией, сшивающей всю строку: На побежденной мостовой / Устало тополя толпятся. Персонификация также сочетается с интенсивностью и предельностью признака (Где день в красе земной / Сгорел скоропостижно). Демонстрируется, что идиостилевой значимостью для Пастернака обладают наречия настежь и насквозь, первое связано с «открытостью и распахнутостью во всей полноте», прежде всего по отношению к будущему, второе — с проницательностью и даром предвиденья. Также показывается, как благодаря наречиям формируется целостная структура текста. Примером служит наречие опять, которое в собрании сочинений Пастернака встречается 68 раз. Особо иллюстративными оказываются строфы из третьей части «Волн», где анафорическое опять буквально пронизывает текст насквозь, задавая в нем ямбическую структуру.
О ДВУХ БАЗОВЫХ МОНОХРОМАХ В ПОЭЗИИ Д. САМОЙЛОВА
Authors:   Казахский национальный педагогический университет имени Абая, Абишева С.Д. , Молдагали М.Б.
Published: May 2023

В статье рассматривается семантика и символика базовых монохромов в поэтических текстах Д. Самойлова. Материалом для работы послужили тексты из книги «Стихотворения» (2006). Была сделана выборка слов с корневой основой «бел-» и «черн-», составлен частотный словарь этих цветов и представлен их семантический анализ. В результате проведенного исследования было выявлено, что черный цвет в поэзии Самойлова как сохраняет традиционную негативную семантику, так и несет в себе положительную коннотацию, символизируя в последнем случае яркость, молодость и женскую красоту. Белый цвет поэт использует для описания классических образов чистоты, чаще всего они относятся к образам природы и женщин. Может белый цвет нести в себе и негативную семантику, связанную с болезнью и близостью смерти. Самойлов органически соединяет белый и черный цвет в стихотворениях, считая, что жизнь в равной степени содержит хорошее и плохое, светлое и темное. Эту взаимосвязь отражают его поэтические строки: «Чтоб черный цвет смешался с белым, / Что есть основа всех основ». Проведенная работа показала, что и отдельное употребление, и смешение двух базовых монохромов в поэзии Самойлова являются доказательством гармонической целостности его картины мира.
СЕМАНТИЧЕСКАЯ РЕДЕРИВАЦИЯ СЛОВА В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ПОЭЗИИ
Authors:   Санкт-Петербургский гос. университет, Зубова Л.В.
Published: May 2023

В статье на материале современной русской поэзии (начиная со второй половины ХХ века) рассматривается употребление слов в тех первичных (или близких к ним) значениях, которые в результате языковой эволюции были вытеснены переносными. Семантическая редеривация (реконструкция, архаизация) слов осуществляется при нарушении их нормативной референции и синтагматики. Реконструированные слова являются одновременно и авторскими семантическими неологизмами, и семантическими архаизмами. Этимологически первичное значение глаголов и отглагольных существительных обнаруживается при их перемещении из сферы ментальных действий и состояний в сферу физической деятельности. У фразеологически связанных и денотативно ограниченных слов восстанавливается их исходное широкое значение. При этом в некоторых контекстах обнаруживаются синестезия и энантиосемия. Авторское изменение семантики слов может влиять на их грамматическую принадлежность: качественным прилагательным и наречиям возвращается статус относительных, прилагательные, восходящие к причастиям, вновь становятся причастиями. Семантическая редеривация слов иногда сопровождается устранением стилистического ограничения на их употребление. Реконструированные слова могут не совпадать с реально существовавшими, но во всех случаях они указывают ретроспективное направление семантических преобразований как сильного выразительного средства. Важно, что при восприятии словоупотребления, актуализирующего внутреннюю форму слов, исходным знанием читателя является современное производное лексическое значение, следовательно, оно неизбежно включается в смысл поэтически преобразованной лексики, побуждая читателя к языковой рефлексии.
ПРЕОДОЛЕНИЕ «ДОЛЖЕНСТВОВАНИЯ» И «НЕОБХОДИМОСТИ» В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ПОЭЗИИ
Authors:   Институт языкознания РАН, Соколова О.В.
Published: May 2023

В статье рассмотрена специфика неузуального функционирования показателей модальности в современной поэзии, на которую оказали влияние новые технологии. Выведение в фокус в новейшей поэзии канала коммуникации в качестве основного параметра коммуникативной модели (по Р. О. Якобсону) обусловило повышение роли прагматики как семиотической и лингвистической области, которая выражается через акцентирование роли коммуникативной ситуации, позиции адресата и самого отправителя. Для субъекта поэзии в эпоху новых медиа характерна установка на фиксацию ускользающих дейктических, прагматических точек в ситуации транскодирования, сдвига разных медиа и модусов. Исследование сосредоточено на выявлении специфики функционирования показателей, характеризующих «долженствование» и «необходимость», которые относятся к деонтической модальности. Частотность их употребления в современной поэзии связана с внутренним конфликтом между деонтической модальностью и самой природой поэтического дискурса, что обусловлено ориентацией поэтов на преодоление языковых, коммуникативных и социальных ограничений, эксплицитной формой выражения которых являются маркеры необходимости и долженствования.
МОРФОПОЭЙЯ. СЛОВО КАК ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЕ И ЕГО МОРФЕМНАЯ СТРУКТУРА
Authors:   Университет Эмори, Эпштейн М.
Published: May 2023

В статье рассматривается морфемная структура слова как самостоятельного литературного произведения, минимального по объему (размером в одну лексему). Морфопоэйя — это жанр словотворчества, материалом которого являются морфемы, а произведением — отдельное слово. Если слово не воспроизводится, а производится в языке («языковая дерзость», по М. Панову), то оно становится самостоятельной коммуникативной единицей, приобретает свойства предложения, т. е. может быть подвергнуто актуальному членению на тему и рему, в роли которых выступают составляющие его морфемы. Семантические отношения между морфемами внутри нового слова могут быть антонимическими, что приводит к созданию оксюморонимов — слов, состоящих из противоположных по смыслу морфем (например, «глокальный»). В статье исследуется также теснота морфемного ряда и ее количественный показатель — индекс компактности слова: чем больше семантических единиц приходится на фонетические единицы благодаря морфемному сжатию слова, тем оно оказывается плотнее, компактнее. Рассматривается также феномен «прыгающих» морфем — мобильных морфологических элементов, способных перемещаться из одного фрагмента лексической системы в другой. Наконец, устанавливается место морфопоэтики, изучающей морфопоэйю, в рамках морфемики: исследование механизмов словообразования должно вклю-чать и свободное, подвижное соотношение морфем в словотворчестве.
From “Fairly Good” to “Optimal” Energy Efficiency Practices within the Moroccan Manufacturing Sector: Are Financial Resources Sufficient?
Authors: Bensouda Mehdi , Benali Mimoun
Published: May 2023

Climate change urgency requires a fast transition to a low carbon society which implies broad-scale changes at all levels, hence the need of an energy transition based on enhancing energy efficiency and renewable energy. Energy efficiency is pivotal to combat climate change, it is the most affordable and readily accessible resource, and the most profitable path to sustainability. Manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting energy efficiency practices (EEP) as they become more knowledgeable about the central role energy efficiency plays in their companies’ competitiveness and the planet’s sustainability. However, the severity of climate change requires the adoption of “optimal” EEP rather than “fairly good” ones. Companies’ satisficing behavior occurs when they do not operate as profit-maximisers, but as satisfactory solutions-seekers. This study explores avenues to address companies’ satisficing behavior regarding EEP. Our research model was empirically tested through survey data collected from 193 manufacturing companies in Morocco. Results show that satisficing negatively affects EEP. Financial slack and governments’ incentives have a positive direct effect on EEP without attenuating the negative relationship between satisfying and EEP. Mimetic pressure attenuates the negative relationship between satisfying and EEP. Based on our findings, policy implications are discussed.
Towards the Sustainable Decommissioning of Fixed Platforms by Aligning Ecosystem Services and Wind Generation: A Brazilian Case
Authors: Vieira Barboza Douglas , Jasmim Meiriño Marcelo , Da Silveira Barros Sérgio Ricardo , Fernandes Bella Ricardo Luiz
Published: May 2023

Brazilian legislation, as well as others around the world, determines that oil platforms, mainly fixed, must be decommissioned at the end of the feasibility of exploring the oil field, however, it is not common to consider the loss of ecosystem services that sustain life, the biodiversity and make resources available to humans. Considering the importance of the ecosystems that developed in the substructures of platforms, this work proposes a solution to maintain ecosystem services together with the development of clean, economically viable wind energy generation. For this, a proposal is built based on climatological, geographic, and wind power generation market data that seeks to demonstrate the financial viability of the specific case of the Robalo 1 Platform, which is located about 50 kilometers from other platforms to be decommissioned, in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, Brazil. It was found that when minimally valuing ecosystem services such as artificial reefs and integrating wind generation for the non-decommissioning of the fixed platform substructure, from the point of view of net present value, the project proves to be viable.
Financial Analysis of Solar Rooftop PV System: Case Study in Indonesia
Authors: Tarigan Elieser
Published: May 2023

The primary barrier to the dissemination of photovoltaic (PV) technology is its high cost as compared to other alternative options. This paper discusses some financial aspects of rooftop PV systems: module cost, BOS cost, useful lifetime, minimum attractive rate of return, and O&M cost. An equation and numerical calculation were made for estimating the unit cost of electricity of a rooftop system. The numerical calculation  and simulation were made by taking the condition of  Indonesia as the case study. It was assumed that (i) the useful lifetime of the PV system is 20 years, (ii) the annual maintenance cost is two percent of the total capital cost of the system, (iii) taxes and insurance costs are not to be paid, and (iv) capacity utilization is 20 percent. It is found that rooftop PV systems have the potential to provide power at competitive prices for residential with other alternative options for power generation.
Effects of Oil Consumption, Urbanization, Economic Growth on Greenhouse Gas Emissions: India via Quantile Approach
Authors: Khan Uzma
Published: May 2023

Although low-carbon economic growth has been emphasized in both the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, this is the first study to examine the interplay between oil consumption, urbanization, and economic growth in India's GHG emissions from 1965 to 2021. A quantile regression analysis found that a one percent rise in greenhouse gas emissions is linked to a 0.34 percent rise in economic growth, a 0.599 percent rise in oil consumption, and a 0.28 percent drop in urbanization. Using the Granger causality technique, researchers found that CO2 emissions cause economic development and urbanization in only one direction. On the other hand, oil consumption only has a one-way influence on carbon emissions and urbanization, and economic expansion only has a one-way effect on urbanization.
Fossil Fuel Energy Consumption, Economic Growth, Urbanization, and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in Kenya
Authors: Otim Jacob , Watundu Susan , Mutenyo John , Bagire Vincent
Published: May 2023

The increase in the level of CO2 emissions has triggered the global temperature to rise above the pre industrial levels. The unprecedented climate change has resulted in flooding and droughts that have displaced millions of people from their homes, plunged them into poverty, famine, and stunted economic growth, especially in countries with shoddy infrastructure. The large-scale use of fossil fuels across the globe, increase in urbanization and economic growth are likely to worsen the environmental quality. However, the proponents of the economic growth hypothesis do not admit that the consumption of fossil fuels and urban expansion, increase the level of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. The current study examines the effects of fossil fuels consumption, economic growth, urbanization and CO2 emissions in Kenya over the period 1971 to 2014. The study follows a formal time series econometric estimation strategy and estimates the long-run model using an autoregressive distributed lag. The study findings show that economic growth and the uptake of fossil fuels increase CO2 emission, while urbanization reduces it.  The study recommends phasing out subsidies for conventional energy supply, promoting energy efficiency and accelerating the development of clean energy technologies.
Integrating Environmentally Friendly Management of Water Resources toward Ecological and Socio-Economic Sustainability

Published: May 2023

In small-scale reservoir management, ecological factors must be a top priority, because the sustainability of the ecosystem in the reservoir is very important to maintain sustainable water availability. Efforts to maintain water quality, reduce pollution and maintain the balance of the ecosystem in the reservoir must be carried out consistently. In an effort to maintain the sustainability of small-scale reservoir management, collaboration between the government, local communities and other related parties is needed. By prioritizing ecological, social and economic aspects in a balanced way, it is hoped that the management of water resources in small-scale reservoirs can run in a sustainable manner, provide benefits to local communities, and preserve the surrounding environment. The research method used in this study is to use quantitative methods with a total sample of 137 respondents. Data collection techniques used observation and structured interview techniques to collect data on ecological, social and economic factors that affect the sustainability of small-scale reservoirs. The analysis technique used is the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) statistical test with AMOS program. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be concluded that the first hypothesis which states the influence of ecological factors on the sustainability of small-scale reservoirs cannot be accepted. Then the second and third hypotheses show that social and economic factors together have a significant influence on the sustainability of small-scale reservoirs. This shows that in the management of water resources in small-scale reservoirs, not only ecological factors need to be considered, but also social and economic factors.
Greening Public Policy: The Effects of Environmentally Friendly Regulations, Public Support, Sustainability Orientation on Green Governance
Authors: Erna Erna , Mutaqin Zenal
Published: May 2023

Developments in the public sector continue to increase with the emergence of various types of services that experience changes and demands from the public to public sector reform to pay more attention to green governance and orientation in various public policies. This is because climate change and environmental degradation are increasingly becoming a global concern and are increasingly showing their negative impacts. The public is increasingly aware that environmental protection and sustainability are very important. Therefore, the use of renewable energy is important to implement in supporting green governance. Green policies were largely adopted as the impact of climate change worsening. In public sector, the policies were used as a benchmark for environmentally friendly policies. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the effect of regulations related to the environment, public support, and sustainability orientation towards green governance by implementing renewable energy which is mediated by green public procurement. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach. A total of 214 respondents from environmental agencies’ employees used a simple random sampling technique. The data analysis technique used is Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of this study indicate that regulations related to the environment, public support, and sustainability orientation have a positive effect on green public procurement and green governance. Furthermore, green public procurement is able to mediate the influence of environmental regulations, public support, and green perceptions on green governance.

Published: May 2023

This paper aims to analyze the determining factors in the use of sustainable agro-industry by implementing renewable energy and environmental management performance. The paper also aims to investigate environmental policies carried out by the local government to minimize land-use conversion of agricultural utilization to non-agricultural functions. This study uses a data driven empirical approach in examining agro-industrial utilization in land-use conversion in Boyolali, Indonesia. The nature of the study was by employing sociology of law to analyze policy aspects in social interactions in environmental performance and sustainability ideas in land-use coversion cases. The results of the study show that the orientation of economic growth by implementing a renewable system and preserving agricultural land is the basis for regional policies to protect agricultural land. The findings also highlight spatial planning as the most important aspect in technical implementation of sustainability pratices in the cases of land-use conversion to non-agricultural functions. The findings would imply the need for optimization and control of agricultural land protection through environmentally-friendly local policies to control land-use conversion and maintain sustainable functions of land. The findings also imply to the importance of environmentally-friendly policies ranging from preparation of regulations, determination of regional spatial plans, environmental permits, and incentives in managing sustainability of environmental performance in land-use policy in local context.
MUSIC THERAPY FOR PAIN AND ANXIETY IN HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Authors: Bar Arvida , Monalisa Monalisa , Damayantie Netha , Halimah Halimah
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Music has been widely recognized for its effectiveness in controlling anxiety and pain. However, in particular groups such as children, the implementation may be challenging, especially regarding the type of music selection. The aim of the study is to evaluate the music therapy efficacy on pain and anxiety management in pediatric care to improve the management of pain and anxiety in the pediatric population. Methods: This review was written according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. In assessing the impact of music therapy as a method of pain and anxiety management in pediatric care, a database tracking was conducted for articles publicized between 2000 and 2022. The databases used including Sciencedirect, Cochrane library, PubMed, and Wiley online library. Articles were deemed if the study subjects ranged in age from 0 to 21 years old, the intervention was live or recorded music, and the study took place in an inpatient background. Results: 1,129 publications were discovered. In final search of literature, there are 12 articles included in this review. There is consistent and consequential evidence that music may relieve pain and anxiety in hospitalized children before and during procedures. The type of music that is widely used is classical and traditional instrumental music. In addition, there were only two studies using nursery rhymes. Conclusion: The patient’s preference in choosing music for children enables them to determine the appropriateness of therapy. Classical music can be the main choice in applying music therapy in reducing anxiety and pain in children.
The Position of the AU and its Member States in the Global Condemnation of the Russia-Ukraine War
Authors: Aleabelah Asong Brain
Published: May 2023

International crises such as the war in Ukraine bring about significant changes not only in paradigms, but also in alliance systems. The return of war as a means of regulating international relations has greatly aggravated the interests of Western powers and the African continent, which is at the geopolitical forefront of the war in Ukraine. This study aims to identify the position of the African Union (AU) and its member states on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It highlights the AU’s institutional position at the outset of the conflict, before analyzing the positions of its member states, sometimes in contradiction with the principles of the AU and the United Nations (UN), calling for the immediate cessation of the war initiated by Russia. Similarly, the study shows that African countries, in their mixed positions have a more cynical view of a world order whose rules seem to be determined by the West and it is this difference in perspective that may explain the indulgence of some African states towards Russia.

Aims Studies have shown that probiotic bacteria inhibit the onset and progression of carcinogenesis through different pathways. Our objective in this study was to determine the effect of probiotic bacteria on the expression of growth-related genes Rel A, IKB, and Casp3 in HT29 colon cancer cells Methods & Materials In this study, the Lactobacillus brevis probiotic bacteria were first cultured, and after the supply of media conditioning, they were treated on HT29 cancer cells. The bacterium’s cytotoxic effect (bacterial T cells) was investigated using a microculture tetrazolium test (MTT). DNA was extracted from the treated cells, and a DNA Ladder assay was performed. Also, the 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) test was performed to show cell apoptosis. After ribonucleic acid (RNA) extraction and complementary DNA (cDNA) preparation to determine the mechanism of the effect of this bacterium on cellular signaling, the expression of growth-related genes Rel A, IKB, and Cas3 was measured using a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Findings The microculture tetrazolium (MTT) test showed that L. b bacteria inhibit HT29 cells’ proliferation, induce apoptosis in these cells, and inhibit Rel A gene proliferation by increasing IKB gene expression. Also, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and DNA ladder assay following the treatment of HT29 cells regarding the mentioned bacteria showed qualitative changes in cell apoptosis. In addition, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results showed that L. b increased Casp3 gene expression in HT29 colon cancer cells (P=0.038). Conclusion Our findings indicate that L. b stimulates the apoptotic cell signaling pathway in HT29 colon cancer cells. It can be used as a new treatment strategy or therapy for colon cancer treatment.

Background: Salmonellosis is one of the important diseases in the poultry industry, which also causes public health concerns. Objectives: We studied the effects of enrofloxacin and herbal medicines on growth performance, blood parameters, meat oxidation, and cecal microbial population in broilers challenged with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST). Methods: A total of 240 one-day-old (male) Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly divided into 6 groups: negative and positive control, enrofloxacin, and three herbal medicines (A, B, and C) containing different proportions of cinnamon, thyme, licorice, and marjoram extracts with compounds of organic acids. The dosage of enrofloxacin and A, B, and C herbal medicines were 1, 1, 1, and 2 mL/L in drinking water, respectively, prescribed from days 16 to 21. On day 10, all groups except negative control were challenged with 1 mL suspension containing 1×107 CFU/mL ST. Performance traits were measured in intervals of 1-10, 11-24, 25-42, and 1-42 days. Blood parameters, meat oxidation, and cecal microbial population were measured on day 21. Results: Among the challenged groups, medicine C and enrofloxacin showed the lowest levels of Salmonella infection (P<0.05). Medicine B had a better effect on performance traits (P<0.05). Medicine A had the lowest amount of malondialdehyde in meat. Medicines A and B caused the lowest cholesterol and triglyceride concentration in serum (P<0.05). Conclusion: The above-mentioned herbal medicines can be used as beneficial additives in poultry nutrition to improve growth performance, reduce the Salmonella population in the gastrointestinal tract, and cholesterol, triglycerides, and meat oxidation.

Background: Aflatoxin is one of the most important fungal toxins with documented hepatotoxic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressive properties. This mycotoxin is mainly produced by species of the genus Aspergillus in feed. Therefore, the application of compounds, which prevent complications of aflatoxins without losing feed quality, is highly beneficial. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of the Echinacea purpurea L. essential oils on the regulation of the microbial population of the gastrointestinal tract and some blood factors of aflatoxin-fed zebrafish. Methods: Zebrafish were divided into four groups of 45 fish in three replicates: control (G1); G2, fish fed with feed containing 500 µg/kg E. purpurea L. essential oils; G3, fish fed with feed containing 500 µg/kg E. purpurea L. essential oil and 3 ppm aflatoxin B1(AFB1); and G4, fish fed with feed containing 3 ppm AFB1. The fish were fed with diets for 60 days. After this period, they were euthanized, blood was collected from the tail vein, and blood smears were prepared. Fish hepatopancreas were used to measure alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase enzymes with an auto-analyzer. Also, intestinal contents were cultured to evaluate microbial population. Results: Results showed that liver enzymes increased in the aflatoxin group (P<0.05), and concurrent use of the essential oil along with AFB1 reduced the liver enzymes compared with the AFB1-treated group. Moreover, AFB1 could convert the microbial population to pathogens. Differential blood counts in the G2 and G3 groups showed an increase in the percentages of neutrophils and thrombocytes. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, E. purpurea L. essential oils could reduce the adverse effects of chronic contamination with AFB1 in zebrafish. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to better understand the immunological function of E. purpurea L. in zebrafish and its mechanism of action against AFB1.
