Authors: Kozhakhmetova R. N. , Kolyeva N. S. , Panova M. V. , Shemakin V. V.
Published: July 2024

Augmented reality (AR-technologies) and virtual reality (VR-technologies) technologies are actively used in modern life, from the spheres of education and entertainment to museum activities. This article demonstrates the application of AR-technologies in modern society, mainly in museum activities. The authors emphasize the basic concepts of "AR-technologies" and "VR-technologies" and the advantages of using these technologies in museum activities. Among them are: maximum optimization of museum space, reduction of the need and cost of transportation of expensive exhibits, reduction of the burden on museum staff, convenience of obtaining reference information on various museum specimens, reduction of crowding near certain historical values and the possibility of viewing lost but digitally preserved materials. All of the above establishes the validity of this direction and the need to introduce these technologies into museum activities. As a result, the authors came to the conclusion that the introduction of augmented reality technologies (AR-technologies) and virtual reality (VR-technologies) has an exclusively integrative character and creates favorable conditions for modern museum activities.

Published: July 2024

The large plantain has been widely used since ancient times to treat many diseases, including constipation, cough and ulcers. The purpose of this study is to review the traditional use, botanical characteristics, pharmacological activity, phytochemical effects and toxicity of Plantago major. Some o f its traditional properties, including wound healing, antipyretic, antitussive, anti-infective, anti-hemorrhagic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, laxative, astringent and hemostatic, have been confirmed by recent studies. Phytochemical studies have shown that Plantago major contains volatile compounds, triterpenoids, phenolic acids and flavonoids. Current pharmacological studies have proven some of the traditional uses of Plantago major. However, additional studies of this plant are needed, since it can be used for the production of various natural preparations.The healing properties of the great plantain have been recognized all over the world for hundreds of years. This plant contains a number of effective chemical components, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic acid derivatives, iridoid glycosides, fatty acids, polysaccharides and vitamins, which contribute to its specific therapeutic effect. Accordingly, studies have shown that the large plantain is effective as a wound healing agent, as well as as an anti-cancer, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antibacterial and antiviral agent. It also fights fatigue and cancer, is an antioxidant and neutralizes free radicals.

Published: July 2024

Colostrum intake is an essential component for piglet survival. Assessing colostrum intake, and consequently transfer of immunoglobulins (Igs), has been difficult to quantitate in swine. In this study, the authors first sought to subjectively determine the least stressful method to collect necessary sample quantities for Ig quantitation. The immunocrit ratio (IR) method was used to quantify a benchmark Ig level for a commercial production system. Lastly, the authors sought to identify associations between IR and production parameters. The cephalic vein provided consistent sample volumes and caused minimal animal distress. Additionally, a small volume of serum (30 μL) can be used for IR testing. An IR benchmark was determined to be 0.098 for this production system. For this study, no significant associations were found between pre-weaning mortality or average daily weight gain and IR. Birth weight and parity had significant effects (P < .05) on IR, with parity 1 litters having lower IR than higher parity litters. Using the IR technique to identify IR benchmarks for piglets will help producers improve colostrum intake opportunities in piglets with suboptimal Ig levels. The IR method ascertains whether piglets are receiving adequate maternal antibodies until their own immune systems are developed.

Published: July 2024

Objectives: To determine if feed medicated with tilmicosin affects viremia (assessed using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]) in pigs exposed to a vaccine strain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), clinical signs associated with vaccination (body temperature), and average daily gain. Materials and methods: Purebred Yorkshire pigs (N = 192) were each assigned to one of five treatment groups. Groups 1a and 1b remained PRRSV-negative (controls), while Groups 2, 3, and 4 were injected with a modified-live (MLV) PRRSV vaccine. Groups 1b and 2 were fed non-medicated feed. Rations contained tilmicosin at 400 mg per kg for Group 1a and Group 4 and 200 mg per kg for Group 3. Blood samples were collected to measure serum tilmicosin concentrations and assess PRRSV viremia. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed and macrophages assessed for PRRSV viremia and tilmicosin concentrations. Results: Groups 1a and 1b remained PRRSV-negative. Number of PRRSV copies per mL in serum was highest in inoculated pigs at 10 days post inoculation, but did not differ among the three inoculated groups. Average daily gain (ADG) was higher in groups fed rations containing 400 mg per kg tilmicosin than in groups on non-medicated rations. Clinical signs of disease were absent in all pigs. Implications: Viremia associated with an MLV vaccine strain of PRRSV does not differ between pigs fed rations containing 200 or 400 mg per kg of tilmicosin. In the absence of clinical disease, pigs consuming tilmicosin-medicated feed have higher ADG than pigs consuming non-medicated feed.

Authors: Rijal Dharmaraj ,   Student of Liberty College Affiliated to Pokhara University, Thapa Deepak ,   Lecturer at Liberty College
Published: July 2024

The emergence of online payment has completely changed how consumers and businesses interact on a global scale. Online payment refers to payment that are made for goods or services that are ordered online or offline and are initiated using internet. Understanding how digital financial services affect consumer decision-making is becoming more and more crucial, especially in developing nations like Nepal. In Nepal, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) is dedicated to the security and effectiveness of Nepal's National Payments System (NPS) in recognition that payment systems are an essential component of every nation's financial system and are essential for its soundness, as well as for the execution of monetary policy and the growth of capital markets. The rise in e-commerce and mobile commerce activities in recent years can be attributed to the widespread use of mobile devices and internet connectivity. Research has indicated that the incorporation of electronic payment systems might have a noteworthy impact on consumer conduct, providing convenience and effectiveness during transactions (Jakhiya et al., 2020). Given the dynamic nature of Nepal's digital infrastructure, analyzing the differences in the adoption of these technologies and the ensuing shifts in customer behaviour might yield insightful information.
Impact on Annual Energy Cost due to Air-Conditioner selection for Hotel Business setup in North India
Authors: Singh Rajainder ,   Research Scholar, Turiba University, Riga, Latvia
Published: July 2024

Energy consumption is a critical factor in determining the overall cost and profitability of a hotel. High energy consumption can significantly increase operating costs, which directly impacts the overall financial performance of a hotel (Filimonau et al., 2011). By reducing energy consumption, hotels can effectively lower their operating costs and increase profitability. This can be achieved through various measures such as implementing energy-efficient lighting systems, optimizing HVAC systems, using smart technologies for better control and monitoring of energy usage, and adopting energy-saving practices in areas such as heating, cooling, and ventilation. Implementing these energy-saving measures can not only reduce the hotel's carbon footprint but also improve its competitiveness in the market (Čingoski & Petrevska, 2018). Additionally, promoting energy conservation in a hotel can also contribute to enhancing its reputation and attracting environmentally conscious guests (Filimonau et al., 2011). Overall, the impact of energy consumption on the cost and profit of a hotel is significant.

Authors: Abu Bakir Sahar Moh’d , Hanandeh Rami , Alzghoul Amro
Published: July 2024

The present study aims to extend this line of inquiry by investigating the influence of sustainable business practices about green marketing initiatives and GHRM practices on E Innovation. No less important is the role transformational leadership takes on in the interplay that this study tackles. 290 employees in the Jordanian telecommunication sector participated in the research using structured questionnaires. This was analyzed using structural equation modeling to examine relations among these constructs. These results were arrived at after discoveries that both green marketing initiatives and GHRM practices had a powerful positive influence on employee innovative behavior. However, transformational leadership was found to moderate these relationships and overcome the dark sides of implementation to enhance the positive effects of sustainable practices on innovation. However, all these insights could only generalize to the telecommunications sector in Jordan, and therefore, the need to give for further research in other contexts. This study contributes to the literature by empirically supporting TL as a facilitator for the fostering of innovation through sustainable practices; at the same time, the study acknowledges that the employment data using self-reports limits its findings and clarifies some explanations regarding specific statistical findings. The present study reinforces the need to implement business sustainable practices for fostering innovation, this time moderated by effective transformational leadership.

Authors: Kim Chul , Song Jun Hyeong , Kim Seung Hyoun
Published: July 2024

Objective: To prospectively compare the efficacy of conventional center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) and home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Ninety Patients were divided into HBCR and CBCR groups based on cardiovascular risk stratification and individual preference. The CBCR group performed supervised in-hospital exercise training 2–3 times/week and subsequent self-exercise at home. The HBCR group performed self-exercise at home after one or two sessions of exercise education. The cardiopulmonary exercise test results at baseline and those at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups were analyzed as primary outcome.Results: The peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2, mL/kg/min) in the CBCR group was 20.1 and 24.0 at baseline and 12 months, respectively, showing significant improvement (p=0.006). In the HBCR group, it only increased from 24.4 to 25.5, showing suboptimal improvement. A significant increase in the Korean activity scale/index was confirmed only in the CBCR group (p=0.04). The cardiovascular outcome did not differ between the two groups, nor did the dropout rate or demographic factors. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, only CBCR was associated with a significant improvement in peak VO2 and physical activity levels, a finding that differs from those of other studies and seems to be affected by COVID-19. Therefore, in situations where the importance of HBCR is emphasized, it is essential to introduce measures to monitor and enhance exercise adherence among participants.

Financial Development, Governance and Economic Growth: A Causal Analysis
Authors: Cordor James K. , Kollie Genesis B.
Published: July 2024

This study seeks to establish the causal relationships among variables of financial sector development, governance quality, and economic growth in Liberia. To achieve this objective, the researchers gathered secondary time series data from the World Development Indicators and the Worldwide Governance Indicators covering the period 1980 to 2019. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model and the Granger Causality Test were used for estimations. The estimation results (particularly the Granger Causality Test) found a uni-directional causal relationship flowing from financial sector development to economic growth - implying that economic growth is caused by financial sector development. Among other things, this study recommends that policy measures that are meant to revamp the Liberian economy be channeled through the financial sector; and that the Government, through the Central Bank, ensures that lending interest rates on borrowed funds are kept in minimum range to enable the private sector acquire loanable funds for investment purposes.

Published: July 2024

Rivers are renowned for the provision of essential ecosystem services; and their presence in peri-urban and rural areas play and essential part in supporting their welfare and development. The zooplankton diversity in the Amagba-Okoroma River located in a peri-urban area in Benin City, Nigeria was investigated to provide foundational data on the ecological state of the river. Zooplankton and water samples were collected and analysed seasonally, three times each in the month of March and July, 2023 from three stations using standard methods. Principal component analysis shows that out of the 20 environmental factors, seven significantly influenced the zooplankton community. Three zooplankton groups comprising a total 360 individuals from 23 taxa were recorded. Of these, 11 species of rotifers, 8 cladocerans and 4 copepods were the predominant species found. Ecological indices suggested that species diversity were heterogeneous in favour of stations 2 and 1, as opposed to 3 being the least diverse. The zooplankton population was numerically higher in the dry season than in the wet season, albeit statistically similar. Cluster analysis showed that the organisms were grouped by stations into 2 clusters. Canonical correspondence analysis demonstrated a robust correlation between zooplankton and the physico-chemical parameters of the peri-urban river, with species such as Diaphanosoma sarsi and Euryalona orientalis being responsive, suggesting positive connection with BOD5 and DO. Whereas species like Moina micrura, Mesocyclops aspericornis and Mesocyclops salinus were tolerant. Generally, the studies show that the zooplankton diversity is influence by the physico-chemical factor of the river, and hence can be used as a biomonitoring tool for water quality.

Learning to read in elementary schools is considered very important. This is due to the fact that learning to read plays not only a role in improving a child's language skills, but not only the ability of that, namely to improve students in learning other subjects. However, the teaching of reading in elementary schools is still below standard and far from expectations. This is because the development of children's reading habits is still not the main emphasis in learning to read in elementary schools. In addition, learning to read is still considered monotonous and boring. Some educators continue to use this method ineffectively when teaching students to read. On the other hand, the instructor ignores the development of students' metacognitive skills through mastery of various reading methods. Students who are still considered to have relatively low reading skills are likely to be affected by this situation. This paper provides a number of alternative reading learning techniques that are expected to improve students' understanding of basic school reading, especially in the high grades.

In defense of an ordinary life Kantian view on the scope of moral requirement
Authors: Chen Zihan
Published: July 2024

This paper examines Kant's line of argumentation for the establishment of the highest principles of morality against the background of ethical naturalism. The primary problem of moral philosophy is to understand in what sense we speak of the concept of ‘morality’. Whereas the ordinary understanding of morality is that it comes from nature, Kant argues that morality comes from reason, or that it is a rational norm. Having established the highest principles and norms of morality, Kantian moral philosophy then proceeds to argue that these highest principles and norms are binding on our reality as human beings. This argument is systematically necessary for Kantian moralists. Norms are norms in the sense that they are binding in practice, and therefore the highest moral norms have to be binding in the sense that they are most necessarily binding on practical action, otherwise this would be contrary to the meaning of the highest norms themselves.
Stratiﬁed diﬀerences: the mediation role of international non-governmental organizations
Authors: Han Jingyue
Published: July 2024

Since the end of the Cold War, the world has become increasingly multipolar, and internal conflicts have gradually become one of the main forms of armed conflicts in the world. In order to better promote world peace, it is essential to mediate conflicts through multiple forces. With the continuous development of international non-governmental organizations, the mediation of international non-governmental organizations has become the mainstream in this field. However, the statute of limitations of mediation by international ngos has always been a hot issue. On the basis of summarizing previous literatures, this paper classifies the conflict levels according to the bottom and top conflicts, and further examines the effectiveness of international ngos in regulating conflicts from the intensity and degree of conflicts, so as to judge whether international ngos can cope with crises in a reasonable way. Based on the analysis of the effectiveness of international ngos in conflict resolution and the current international situation, this paper puts forward corresponding suggestions for China to better participate in international governance.

Authors: Zhang Kaiqi
Published: July 2024

Based on the documentary Itaewon Crush, guided by proximization theory, this paper makes a comparative study of the discourse strategies of the documentary on the theme of sudden catastrophic events from two aspects: negative proximization and positive proximization. It is found that the entities recognized to be ODCs and IDCs, the use of lexical items, and the communication effects achieved are different in negative proximization and positive proximization. The former takes government and disaster as the external threat to the deictic center, emphasizing the serious consequences of disasters and government actions to realize the documentary’s warning effect. The latter establishes a positive influence between the external entities and the deictic center to achieve the documentary’s humanistic value.

Break Out of the Sea Surface: Genetic Algorithm based Search Path Planning Model for Locating and Searching Submersible Lost in Deep Sea
Authors: Wang Zhiyu , Lu Siyu , Zuo Jingyang
Published: July 2024

Deep-sea tourism and exploration, which require regulatory approval due to safety concerns, are burgeoning entertainment activities. Our study introduces a probabilistic model for locating missing submersibles to facilitate these approvals. The model predicts the submersible's location based on Newton's second law, analyzing three potential malfunction scenarios. It incorporates dynamics to account for variations in water flow and terrain, using a normal distribution to handle random location fluctuations. To address the complexities of deep-sea search and rescue, we propose a method that integrates detailed equipment selection, suited to the extreme conditions. Furthermore, we develop a discrete grid-based model for search path planning. This model simplifies path planning into a sorting optimization problem by connecting grid centers and calculating the probability integral for each grid. Our research also discusses the scalability of our positioning and search models, crucial for adapting to various deep-sea environments. We demonstrate the efficacy of our model through simulations and calculations, proving its potential to enhance safety and efficiency in deep-sea tourism projects. This comprehensive approach ensures that our probabilistic model not only predicts the submersible's location but also optimizes the search process, addressing both regulatory and practical challenges in the field of underwater exploration.

Mexico’s South-southeastern region (here on ‘Macrosouth’) has traditionally been lagged and impoverished vis-á-vis Mexico’s northern and center region, which comprise, altogether, the so-called ‘Macronorth’ (encompassing northern, northwestern, western, and center regions). With the sole exception of highly private investment concentration on the Mayan Riviera of touristic nature, the rest of the ‘Macrosouth’ region (encompassing the Gulf of Mexico, South-pacific and Southeastern region) and its states down to the Gulf of Mexico and South Pacific region have remained isolated and disconnected from the Riviera bonanza zone, featuring better living standards, high economic growth, and better employment opportunities.
Under this framework and the emergence of a new democratic leftwing government in Mexico with strong social support and commitment to promoting a balanced regional development throughout the country, under a socially inclusive strategy it results explainable its emphasis granted on fostering a balanced regional development, under a socially inclusive strategy, its decision to earmark mammoth public productive investments toward the referred region, such as the Mayan Train and the Mexican Corridor (Dos Bocas Refinery in Tabasco state) all of them immersed in the same Macroregion aiming to paralleling foster economic growth and well-being within this region and diminishing the prevailing asymmetric gap between North and South.
Although the unprecedented public investments channelized so far into the Macrosouth are expected to promote an economic bonanza in this region, there is no guarantee whatsoever that such growth will render seamlessly and simultaneously a socially inclusive and sustainable development in such a region for the coming years as conceived by Mexico´s ongoing economic strategy. Under this context, the article aims to highlight some remarks and challenges ahead to overcome to implement a socially inclusive and sustainable regional strategy in this Macroregion in the coming years and the role of the State as an unavoidable key agent in attaining a balanced, socially inclusive and a sustainable approach in such region.

Introduction: death in children in the world during the perinatal period according to the World Health Organization (WHO) corresponds to 2,3 million in the first 20 days of life; while nursing interventions in the clinical field in the NICU are an argumentative model, of application in bioethics and decision making in front of the different vital processes of the health of patients, this is achieved through empathy and physical touch in the process of accompanying the bereavement. Objective: to interpret and integrate conceptual frameworks related to the role of nursing and bereavement support during palliative care in neonatal units.Methods: qualitative-hermeneutic, narrative-interpretative and documentary study based on literature review. Development: the role of nursing is paramount in neonatal units, since they participate in the fundamental care of this population, as indicators and statistics provide the relationship and incidence of neonatal death and the activities carried out for the end of life of neonates, where nursing professionals during the development of clinical interventions with the user and their families question themselves about their duties and obligations, managing to carry out a suitable practice, using bioethical principles. Conclusions: the appropriate intervention of palliative care and other processes adhering to it can have a positive impact on the dignified death and grieving process of the patient and their families; it is evident that nursing interventions in the clinical field in the NICU are an argumentative model, applicable in bioethics and decision making in front of the different vital processes of the health of patients

Authors: Pelcastre Neri Aldo , Herrera Paredes José Manuel
Published: July 2024

Introduction: the diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in a child impacts family dynamics, which is why it is necessary to understand the phenomenon from effective adaptation, an essential reason to have a mid-range theory that allows analyzing family adaptation in the care of children with T1D. Objective: develop the mid-range theory “Family adaptation in caring for children with type 1 diabetes”. Methods: the theory was developed from Fawcett's methodological proposal in which concepts of interest are identified, the concepts and propositions are classified according to the phenomenon, the propositions are organized hierarchically, and the diagram that addresses the phenomenon is constructed. Results: the mid-range theory “Family adaptation in the care of children with type 1 diabetes” is proposed, which allows us to understand and effectively address the challenges that families face in caring for their children with cancer; which helps to validate and refine the propositions, which in turn will contribute to the growth and advancement of knowledge in this field.Conclusions: the Midrange Theory “Family adaptation in the care of children with T1D” (AFDT1) allows us to understand family functioning in the face of diagnosis and coexistence with T1D due to its theoretical integration with empirical knowledge. It is suggested to test the theory through quasi-experimental or experimental studies

Introduction: Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology with potential to enhance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. This study investigates the impact of implementing AR in STEM learning. Objectives: to evaluate the effectiveness of AR in enhancing students' motivation, understanding, academic performance, and problem-solving abilities in STEM disciplines. Method: a mixed methods approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The study involved 180 university students and 12 STEM instructors from various programs. Data collection methods included standardized tests, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and artifact analysis. Results: the AR group showed significant improvements in academic performance, motivation, and attitudes toward STEM subjects compared to the control group. Qualitative data supported AR's potential to create more engaging and interactive learning experiences. Students reported better understanding of complex concepts and increased interest in STEM fields.Conclusions: integrating AR in STEM education can enhance academic performance, motivation, attitudes, and comprehension of complex concepts. These findings support the importance of exploring and implementing AR technology in STEM educational settings to improve learning outcomes and foster student engagement

Objectives: this study investigates the identification of bacteria that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) in order to evaluate their resistance to multiple drugs (MDR) and the occurrence of C-reactive protein in UTIs during pregnancy.
Methods: in this study, analyzed urine and blood samples from 120 pregnant women in Al Samawa City to identify bacteria causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) during pregnancy. Escherichia coli is the most common pathogenic bacterium, responsible for UTIs connected to pregnancy. C-reactive protein is a highly responsive protein that is used to detect infectious or inflammatory disorders.
Results: out of the total sample, 102 (85 %) were positive for different types of bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Coagulase negative staphylococci, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter cloacae complex, Kocuria rhizophila, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
Conclusion: the study found that nitrofurantoin is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, while cephalexin is ineffective against them. This study recorded the highest CRP concentration above normal range in pregnant women infected with K. pneumonia, followed by pregnant women infected with P. aeruginosa and E. faecalis, in contrast lowest CRP within normal range in non-pregnant women 44 specimens (control), at p. value < 0,05
Relational Power in the Era of De-Risking
Authors: Zhang Tianqi
Published: July 2024

The global hegemony of the United States has been increasingly challenged by regional powers. Beginning with the decoupling strategy officially proposed by the Trump administration in 2019, the Biden administration has further intensified and refined the decoupling measures against China aiming to weaken China comprehensively using a small yard, high fence approach. From decoupling to de-risking, the world has entered an era of de-risking. This study examines the interpretation and manifestation of relational power in contemporary times through three dimensions: interest connections, interest and value connections, and connections based on a community with a shared future. The goal is to establish a relational network centered on China to counter U.S. marginalization of China, rally and lead the Global South to build a community with a shared future for humanity, and break through the barriers of the pan-Western alliance led by the U.S.
