Values are the regulatory components inherent in any culture. Values are formed only in culture and are certain regulators of human activity. In the process of learning foreign languages, special attention is paid to the national-cultural component when choosing textbooks. The authors of the article have shown that the purpose of intercultural education is to preserve linguistic and cultural diversity in society and to prepare the subjects of the education process for a successful dialogue of cultures that can neutralize linguistic and cultural differences for productive intercultural interaction. At the same time, the authors proceed from the cultureforming and anthropocentric concepts of modern language education and propose to rely on the basic culture of the individual in choosing the textbook content, which allows a person to live in harmony with both the universal and national culture, as well as with the culture of other peoples.

The versatility of philosophy manifests itself clearly in the historical context, when the discord of thinkers merges into a single intellectual stream. Everyone's biography is a creative odyssey that runs through the stormy sea of his modern era. On this path, the "provincial" or "metropolitan" origin of the philosopher is not so significant. Much more significant is the image that remains in the memory of contemporaries as a milestone of the pillar road of philosophical thought. The article presents the material of a conversation with Professor R.L. Livshits, organized on the eve of his 75th anniversary. Small strokes indicate the stages of his creative path, philosophical maturation from a student to Doctor of Science. The twists and turns of his creative destiny, which reflected the very breath of the Soviet era, are shown. Within the framework of the intellectual meeting, the issues of ethics of scientific work, demarcation of science and non-science, modernization of the Russian education system were touched upon. The polemical pages of the intellectual biography of the Far Eastern philosopher are highlighted and the problem of choosing a strategy for the development of the Russian North and the Far East is also considered.

AbstractBackground: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) play a significant role in informing clinical decision-making and improving the quality of health care. Kenya, a lower-middle income country, is faced with a high disease burden amidst a shortage of health workers. Well-developed and implemented CPGs are essential in guiding quality healthcare practices.Objective: We aim to assess the quality of available and accessible national CPGs in Kenya, make recommendations on their development, adaptation and implementation to improve health outcomes. Methods: We will use the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) tool to assess the methodological quality of available and accessible CPGs. Our focus will be guidelines on diseases or conditions under the broad categories of maternal disorders, neonatal disorders, nutritional disorders, injuries, communicable and non-communicable diseases in Kenya. We will search websites and databases of the Kenyan Ministry of Health, health associations of Kenya and contact relevant experts or personnel in these organizations. We will also use the google search engine to identify any eligible guidelines. Three reviewers will independently conduct data extraction and quality assessment of the guidelines using the English version of AGREE II tool with six domains (scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, clarity of presentation, applicability, and editorial independence). Analysis: We will use descriptive statistics to analyse the results and present findings as quality scores. The results of the 23 items and the six domains in the AGREE II tool will be presented in mean and standard deviations.Dissemination: We will disseminate the findings of this study through publication in a peer-reviewed journal, presentations at scientific conferences and relevant healthcare stakeholders meetings.

Gender-Based Labour Force Participation and Wage Gap in Pakistan: Does Globalization Matter.
Authors: Sana Moniba , Jaffri Atif Ali
Published: October 2022

This study has investigated the impact of globalisation on gender-based gaps in the labor market (GBGLM) of Pakistan for the period 1982-2017. Particularly, the study has estimated the impact of trade openness(OPEN), foreign direct investment (FDI), workers’ remittance inflows(WRI) and exchange rate(ER) on gender-based labour force participation rate differential (LFPRD) and wage differential (WD). The study has applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Johansen’s cointegration approach on two models estimated for LFPRD and WD. The error correction models (ECM) have confirmed an error correction mechanism as reflected by negative and significant coefficients of lagged ECM terms. The study has applied all relevant diagnostic tests to ensure the validity of empirical findings. The results of the study indicated that in the long run, OPEN reduced LFPRD and WD, whereas, FDI augmented LFPRD. ER depreciation decreased LFPRD and augmented WD. WRI also augmented LFPRD and WD. The study concluded that OPEN and Real GDP are prominent factors in reducing WD and LFPRD of Pakistan, whereas, FDI and WRI augmented LFPRD. This is a very important finding in the context of the stagnant real sector of Pakistan where agriculture and industry have performed lower than rapidly growing services sector of Pakistan. Since most of the exports emanate from the real sector of Pakistan, therefore, relatively more focus on real sector as compared to financial inflows can play a crucial role in reducing GBGLM of Pakistan. The policy implication based on results is that to reduce GBGLM of Pakistan, trade liberalisation with special focus on the commodity-producing sector is right policy option in Pakistan
Analysis of the experience of implementation of military exercises in the armies of leading nato member countries
Authors: Kurishko E.A.
Published: October 2022

The professionalization of the army is one of the main components of the process of creating optimal numbers, mobile, well-armed, combat-capable Armed Forces in Ukraine. At the current stage, the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is ensured not only by the availability of the latest types of weapons, sufficient funding of combat training activities and full staffing, but also by the high level of military and professional training of servicemen, the quality and dynamism of the educational process in military institutions of higher education.

Reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reforming the system of higher education - these factors determine the need to reform the system of training future officers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There is an opportunity to abandon outdated methods of organizing physical training and implement the most effective ones. An urgent issue before the development of new technologies is the research and analysis of the system of organization of physical training of servicemen of the Armed Forces of the leading NATO countries.

Recently, specialists in physical training of the armed forces of the leading NATO member states began to pay special attention to three main components (directions), namely: muscle strength; muscular endurance; cardiorespiratory endurance. [2].

Published: October 2022

The main advantages of modern professional armies are the possibility of selecting for military service people who meet the standards of mental and physical fitness for military service to the greatest extent, as well as the introduction of increased requirements for their military and professional training. Taking into account the peculiarities of the participation of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in military operations and the experience of conducting combat operations, the psychological and physical readiness of servicemen to perform assigned tasks is becoming increasingly important, in the formation of which special physical training plays the main role. The events of recent years have shown how important is the psychophysical readiness of military personnel to conduct combat operations, to perform tasks in extreme conditions, the ability to overcome the effects of increased stress on the psyche, their ability to successfully resist the influence of various stressogenic factors, while maintaining high performance. The purpose of the article is to conduct an analysis and generalization of literary sources and guiding documents about the issues of the military personnel psychophysical readiness improving by means of Special Physical Training.

The problem of psychophysical readiness acquires special significance in the professional activity of military personnel. This is caused by the specifics of military-professional activity and its high social significance in terms of the protection of state interests and the country's defense capability. Applied Military Physical Exercises (AMPE) are actively used to solve the problems of psychological training of servicemen in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations. AMPE includes: hand-to-hand combat, overcoming obstacles, moving through mountainous terrain, paramilitary cross country with throwing grenades and riffle shooting, forcing water obstacles and other exercises with maximum mental and physical stress. On the basis of the above, it is appropriate to define the psychophysical training of military personnel as a pedagogical process of forming the psychological stability of a military personnel during physical exercises with high density and load with special means that require neuropsychological stress.

Authors: Pasichnyk Viktoriya , Pityn Maryan , Okopnyy Volodymyr , Telikhovskyi Illia
Published: October 2022

Purpose: to substantiate the main provisions of the concept of game activity in the physical education of preschool children. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, induction and deduction, abstraction, comparison, classification and systematization. Results: the structure of the concept contains three blocks that constitute interconnected subsystems (methodological, subject and implementation). Within the framework of the first block, the patterns, functions and principles of game activity in the physical education of preschool children are defined. They are subordinated to the goal and task and methods and means. In turn, the content and focus of the means are embodied in the corresponding classification. The subject block is represented by all interested participants and contains a conditional division into "motivators" (administration, parents), "catalysts" (medical staff, psychologist) and "realizers" (physical education instructor, educator). The implementation block is represented by direct measures to achieve the goal of the concept based on the compilation of separate lesson programs. They are built taking into account the algorithm and consistently reflect the goal, tasks, methods, means, conditions and control. An element that affects other components of the structure of the concept of play activities in the physical education of preschool children is the individual characteristics of the contingent of preschool children, which determine the orientation of the content of the concept. The final element defines the result at the generalized level (compliance with the goal and tasks of the concept of game activity in the physical education of SEN), subsystem level (compliance with the goal and tasks defined in the methodological block) and partial level (compliance with the goal and tasks of a separate training program).
The influence of the rs2010963 polymorphism of the VEGFA gene on the response to the treatment of the “wet” form of age-related macular degeneration
Authors: Malachkova N. V. , Miteb Al-Jarrah Osama Mohammad
Published: October 2022

Annotation. Age-related macular degeneration is one of the main causes of vision loss in the elderly. By 2040, the population with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is expected to reach about 288 million. It was hypothesized that anti-VEGF therapy would significantly improve the vision and quality of life of patients with “wet” AMD. However, approximately one-third of patients do not benefit from this therapy, including due to macular fibrosis or retinal atrophy. It is believed that the role of genetic predisposition may also influence treatment resistance. Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify the response to treatment with aflibercept in patients with “wet” AMD with polymorphism variants rs2010963 of the VEGFA gene. The research group included 162 people who had a confirmed “wet” form of AMD, in contrast to which 105 people were included in the comparison group. The “wet” form of AMD was detected with the help of optical coherence tomography using the ILM-RPE parameter, while the patients received monthly intravitreal injections of the AVGF drug aflibercept (50 μl of solution – the recommended dose). Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the rs2010963 polymorphism of the VEGFA gene. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out using Statistica 10.0 and SPSS 23.0 programs. It was established that the presence of the mutant C allele increases the risk of resistance to anti-VEGF therapy both after the first injection and after the full course of treatment (p<0.05). A strong influence of the polymorphism after the therapy was observed in the areas of OCT 2, which corresponds to the inner upper part of the retina (OR=5.89; 95% CI 3.31 – 10.49) and OCT 3, which corresponds to the central area of ​​the retina (OR=4, 76; 95% CI 2.79 – 8.13). At the same time, there is an influence of mutant genotypes on treatment: yes, carrying both the heterozygous variant of ONP and the homozygous variant for the minor allele significantly contributed to the emergence of resistance to treatment (p<0.05). A pronounced degree of association of rs2010963 of the VEGFA gene with the emergence of resistance to the action of anti-VEGF drugs was revealed. Thus, the heterogeneity of RR and 95% CI indicators in different areas of the retina likely indicates a “zone-dependent” effect of rs2010963 of the VEGFA gene on the retina, which may be related to the peculiarities of its functioning and pathogenetic effect on the organ of vision.

Authors: Koteliukh M. Yu.
Published: October 2022

Annotation. The study on the metabolic profile in the long-term period after myocardial infarction with comorbidity is relevant. The aim of the work was to examine metabolic profile and echocardiographic parameters in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and obesity following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after a 1-year follow-up. A total of 60 patients with STEMI and obesity were examined. The first subgroup consisted of 20 patients with medicamentous therapy, and the second group – 38 patients with PCI. Adropin, irisin, fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-3 (CTRP3) were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The statistical processing of the study results obtained was carried out using the software package “IBM SPPS Statistics 27.0”. The following parameters were increased in patients who received combined medicamentous and PCI therapy before and after the treatment (p<0.05): end-diastolic size (EDS) (by 16.83% and 10.89%, respectively), end-diastolic volume (EDV) (by 45.95% and 18.92% respectively), end-systolic volume (ESV) (by 40.0% and 27.69%, respectively), stroke volume (SV) (by 33.85% and 18.46%, respectively), left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMMI) (by 18.93% and 10.06%, respectively), adropin (by 27.13% and 47.21%, respectively), irisin (by 2.07 times and 2.75 times, respectively) and CTRP3 (by 15.98 % and 31.96%, respectively), while the following parameters were decreased: systolic blood pressure (by 16.0% and 16.67%, respectively), diastolic blood pressure (by 15.56% and 14.44%, respectively), insulin (by 40 .38% and 48.59%, respectively), glucose (by 10.97% and 15.74%, respectively), atherogenic index (by 6.03% and 12.33%, respectively). Thus, patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis and obesity have been revealed with increased echocardiographic parameters and imbalanced energy and adipokine metabolism.

Published: October 2022

Annotation. In connection with the variability of the location of tumors in the retroperitoneal space (RPST) and the location according to the adjacent structures, nonspecific clinical signs arise. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the main diagnostic and imaging methods that help in the differential diagnosis of RPST and the determination of surgical tactics. It is often difficult to differentiate imaging results, so the final diagnosis is determined based on the data of histological analysis, because the signs and characteristics of the corresponding types of tumors are specific for certain lesions and can correct surgical and medical tactics. The aim of the work was to analyze the methods of diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the retroperitoneal space and to improve the results of operative treatment of diseases of the retroperitoneal space. From 2018 to 2020 21 patients with neoplasms of the retroperitoneal space (8 men and 13 women) aged from 28 to 74 years were treated in the department of thoraco-abdominal surgery of the Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Tranplantology. The patients were operated on by various surgical approaches due to the difference in localization and distribution of tumors. The volume of surgical intervention depended on tumor localization, size and invasion into adjacent structures, which was established using instrumental research methods. 3 in order to prepare for operative treatment, all patients were consulted by related specialists. Surgical treatment of patients with tumors of the retroperitoneal space is a multicomponent, multidisciplinary problem that requires an experienced team of specialists of various surgical profiles. With the help of instrumental research data, the conclusion of pathogistological analysis of the tumor, a full range of treatment must be provided in each individual case, to avoid complications and relapse of the disease.

Published: October 2022

Annotation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic disease. Endogenic or genetic factors play a significant role in the COPD development. The aim of our study was to investigate a response to the tiotropium/olodaterol treatment in patients with different ADRB2 gene polymorphism. 100 patients with the diagnosis of COPD were included into the study. Pulmonary function testing was performed during all study visits. All patients received treatment according to GOLD 2019, which included a combination of long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA). According to the results of genetic testing all patients were divided into 3 groups: Arg16Arg – 23 patients (23%), Arg16Gly – 39 patients (39%), Gly16Gly – 38 patients (38%). Statistical processing of research materials was carried out using the SPSS statistical program package for Windows version 26.0. Descriptive statistics were determined for each interval variable and presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann-Whitney test and T-test, Wilkson test, t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test were used as part of the one-way ANOVA analysis, as well as with the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) followed by pairwise comparison of groups using Bonferroni corrections. Groups did not differ by sex, age, part of smokers, COPD duration. There was significant difference in RLM at the time of inclusion (p=0.01). There was a significant difference in the Pain value at the time of study completion (р=0.024). When comparing values of SGRQ questionnaire, there was a significant difference in the scales of Impact (р=0.006) and Total score (р=0.021). Thus, group Gly16Gly had better dynamics of SF-36 and SGRQ values during the study. Despite the absence of significant difference we can state, that Gly16Gly genotype has better response to treatment when compared to Arg16Arg, which is probably conditioned by the development of sensitization of ADRB2 receptor in Arg16Arg group.
Assessment of prevention and treatment programs efficiency for oncological diseases (on the example of the central Ukraine regions)
Authors: Zub V. O.
Published: October 2022

Annotation. Oncology remains a global problem for humanity. International efforts to overcome it aim at implementing programs for prevention and early detection of neoplasms. The article is devoted to the study and analysis of the results of the implementation of programs to fight oncological diseases in Ukraine in the period until 2022. We have performed a one-time exploratory and descriptive research by the means of processing the materials of state and targeted regional programs to fight oncological diseases, which were implemented in the regions of the center of the Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy regions), and we have assessed the level of their funding and implementation results. The study was conducted on the basis of information provided by the Health Departments of regional state administrations in 2021, as well as data obtained from the websites of these Health Departments. Statistical methods (analysis of relative values, calculation of absolute growth rate), structural-logical analysis and systematic approach were used. The research established that the implementation of programs for the prevention and control of oncological diseases made it possible to achieve positive dynamics of the main indicators of providing oncological care to the population (decrease in the one-year mortality rate, decrease in the neglect rate, increase in the percentage of patients covered by special treatment). However, against the background of positive trends, the level of funding programs in the field of cancer prevention remains insufficient. According to the findings of our research, certain gaps in oncology programs were revealed, namely: insufficient attention to the development of palliative medical care for cancer patients and problems of oncology in children. The obtained data serve as the basis for the development of measures to improve the work of the oncology service in Ukraine.
Psychoemotional state of patients with cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx
Authors: Kushta A. O.
Published: October 2022

Annotation. The work is devoted to the study of the psychoemotional state of patients with tumors of the oral cavity. The aim of the study was to find out the manifestations of physical problems, such as pain and difficulty swallowing, as influencing factors on psycho-emotional stress and as a result of reducing the quality of life in patients with oncology of the oral cavity and oropharynx in the pre- and postoperative period. An analysis of the psycho-emotional state (according to the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS)), pain syndrome (using a visual analogue scale (VASH, Visual Analogue Scale, VAS)), and the presence of dysphagia (according to the classification developed and tested by us) of 34 patients with oncopathology of the oral cavity before and after treatment was carried out. In the postoperative period, patients are divided into two groups depending on the type of analgesia. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using Excel software from the Microsoft Office 2003 package, STATISTICA 5.5 (belongs to the Central Scientific Research Institute of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, license number AXXR910A374605FA) according to the Student’s criterion at p<0.05. The obtained results of the study indicate that long-term postoperative analgesia has a positive effect on the reduction of pain syndrome, restoration of swallowing and correction of the psycho-emotional state. Thus, the detection of a malignant tumor in the oral cavity and oropharynx in itself leads to severe psychological stress. Moreover, psychological health deteriorates sharply if the development of a tumor is accompanied by pain, impaired swallowing, and sleep. Therefore, high-quality analgesia leads to the elimination of pain syndrome and improvement of swallowing, which in turn has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of the patient in the postoperative period.
EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MOBILE APPLICATIONS IN ENHANCING LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Rocque Sarvesh Raj
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to examine how mobile applications relate to learning and development. It will determine whether these two factors are properly intertwined and whether these two factors are fully justified in being related. As a result of examining the literature, and reviewing the results of our survey, we have developed a framework for research. This framework will provide evidence that mobile technologies have a positive impact on classroom performance both directly and indirectly. These technologies foster the learning and development process at all levels, which ultimately enhances the individual's competency by equipping him or her with a more comprehensive skill set. A total of one hundred and eighty interviews were conducted with educators during the research process. These interviews were conducted to develop the findings presented in this article on the impact of mobile applications in the classroom as a result of the research process. There is a growing body of research that suggests the use of mobile apps can be an effective tool for fostering creativity, learning, and development in a variety of settings, both formal and informal. They have been shown to be beneficial in a number of ways when it comes to promoting learning and development. When compared to traditional methods of teaching, mobile apps have shown to be more effective in promoting holistic learning and increasing learning speed than traditional methods of teaching, especially when it comes to promoting holistic learning and increasing learning speed. With the introduction of mobile applications to the education sector, many novel learning strategies have been developed within this sector as a result of the introduction of mobile apps. The use of mobile devices in the classroom has resulted in a number of changes in this respect. The use of mobile apps can provide students with a variety of games that are designed to encourage them to engage in a positive thought process as well as allow them to gain a deeper understanding of what they are learning as they interact with the games and become engaged with them on a more personal level. "Mobile learning" refers to the use of mobile devices and apps in order to facilitate the learning process in an attempt to facilitate the learning process mobile devices and apps in order to facilitate the learning process. The term may also refer to the way in which mobile technology can be used to support a continuous learning environment.

يتناول هذا البحث مسألة صلاة الجمعة والجماعة للمسافر، وهدف إلى الوقوف على حكم في صلاة الجمعة والجماعة للمسافر وفق الاجتهادات والاختلافات الفقهية مع مناقشة الباحث لها واعتبار الراجح منها. واستخدم الباحث المنهج الاستقرائي والمنهج المقارن والمنهج التحليلي. وخلص إلى عدة نتائج تلخصت في أن السفر المعتبر للتمتع بالرخصة؛ يُرّجح الباحث القول القائل بعدم التحديد، وأن القصر يشرع في مطلق السفر قصيره وطويله قريبة وبعيده من غير تحديد ذلك بمسافه معينه، بل كل ما سمى سفرًا لغة أو عرفًا فإنه تقصر فيه الصلاة وما لا فلا. ورجّح الباحث في حكم صلاة الجمعة للمسافر القول بعدم وجوبها، كما رجّح أن الجماعة في السفر واجبة أيضًا. وأثبت الباحث مشروعية الجمع الحقيقي مطلقًا بين الظهر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء جمع تقديم أو تأخير لعذر السفر، كما أن الراجح في مسألة قصر الصلاة للمسافر، أن القصر هو السنة والإتمام جائز مع الكراهية. وأوصى الباحث الفقهاء والمفتين والخطباء والدعاة، بالأخذ بالآراء الميسرة مما يتعلق بمسألة صلاة الجمعة والجماعة للمسافر، وفق ما يحقق التيسير والتخفيف كما هو الأصل في الشريعة الإسلامية السمحاء، لا سيما أن غالب الآراء الراجحة تميل للتيسير ورفع المشقة والحرج. كما أوصي الباحث أساتذة الجامعات وطلاب الدراسات العليا وطلاب العلوم الشرعية، بمزيد من الاهتمام بالمسائل الفقهية التي تمس حياة الناس اليومية، ويكثُر فيها السؤال عن الحكم الشرعي الأصوب فيها.

Objective: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of cognitive impairment among elderly people in rural Haryana, India and determine its association with smoking, alcohol consumption and impairments. Material and Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study carried out among 575 elderly people aged 60 years and above in the rural field practice area of a medical college in the Haryana state of India. Cognitive impairment was evaluated by the Mini-Cog test. To determine factors associated with cognitive impairment, unadjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval were obtained and binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to calculate adjusted odds ratios. Results: Cognitive impairment was found in 4.5% of the elderly subjects. Those aged 75 years and more, currently not married, illiterate, elderly living alone, current smokers, currently consuming alcohol and elderly with visual, hearing or activities of daily living (ADL) impairments had significantly higher cognitive impairment. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that illiteracy (adjusted OR=3.173, p-value=0.033), living alone (adjusted OR=6.299, p-value=0.015), current tobacco smoking (adjusted OR=5.393, p-value=0.029), current alcohol drinking (adjusted OR=7.360, p-value=0.001) and ADL impairment (adjusted OR=6.427, p-value=0.001) were independently associated with cognitive impairment. Conclusion: Tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption and ADL impairment were independently associated with cognitive impairment in the elderly people of Haryana state of India. Early screening and timely intervention for signs of cognitive decline may help in improving their quality of life.
Superficial Soft-Tissue Masses of the Head and Neck: A Pictorial Review
Authors: Ju C. , Pham N.
Published: October 2022

The differential diagnosis of superficial masses in the head and neck is broad and encompasses both benign and malignant soft-tissue tumors. Certain superficial masses of dermal origin do not fall under the World Health Organization classification for soft-tissue tumors but, nonetheless,
present similarly and should be considered in the differential. Although many of these superficial masses cannot be definitively diagnosed on imaging alone, recognizing certain imaging patterns and ancillary clinical features may help narrow the differential diagnosis and distinguish benign
and malignant lesions. The present article does not aim to provide a comprehensive review of all superficial head and neck masses but rather helps to organize the more common masses by cellular origin and provides an overview of pertinent demographics or risk factors to aid in informed decision-making.Learning
Objective: To generate a differential diagnosis of head and neck superficial soft-tissue tumors based on clinical history and imaging features

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the application of guided discovery learning models based on lesson study for community learning on student learning outcomes. The type of research that pseudo-experiments use with research design is pretest-postest control group design. The population consists of students of class X MIPA at public high school 1 Padang. Sample selection is carried out by random sampling techniques, and selected sample classes, namely X MIPA 1 and X MIPA 4. The instrument used in this study is a test instrument in the form of multiple choice questions consisting of 20 questions with 5 answer options. Data analysis techniques use n-gain tests, normality tests, F tests and hypothesis tests (t tests). The average learning outcomes of students of the experiment and control classes were 81, and 72, respectively,.The level of influence of LSLC-based guided discovery learning models is analyzed through n-gain test scores. From the results of the study obtained an n-gain score in the experimental class of 0.74 with a high category while the control class was 0.61 with a medium category. At the significance level of 0.05 indicates the value of tcount (2.746) > ttable (1.995). So that the implementation of a guided discovery learning model based on lesson study for community learning has a problem with improving student learning outcomes
Acheloios, Thales, and the Origin of Philosophy
Authors: Nicholas J. Molinari
Published: October 2022

Acheloios, Thales, and the Origin of Philosophy: A Response to the Neo-Marxians fundamentally changes our understanding of a pivotal moment in the history of mankind – the origin of the philosophical experience in 6th century Ionia. Through a careful analysis of the archaeological record, a close reading of hundreds of ancient sources, and a deep investigation into the various languages of our past, Nicholas Molinari demonstrates the importance of the influence of the cult of Acheloios on Thales; provides a critique of the Neo-Marxian prioritization of coined money and conflation of metaphysical cosmology and philosophy; and, most importantly, reintegrates beauty and love as philosophy’s ultimate source.

Wetlands are productive ecosystems, providing an array of services that sustain the well-being of dependent biota. Post industrialization and globalization era witnessed a spurt in the anthropogenic activities, leading to the degradation and decline of fragile ecosystems. This necessitates the conservation of vital ecosystems through sustainable management tenets, this requires an understanding of the livelihood support of ecosystems. The focus of the study, discussed in this article, is to understand the worth of wetlands through the accounting of provisioning, regulating, and cultural services. The provisioning services through accounting of tangible benefits (fish, fodder, water, etc.) considering residual values indicate an annual revenue of INR49.70 billion. Similarly, accounting of non-use values of ecosystems through the benefit transfer method indicates regulating and cultural services support of INR196.89 billion and INR37.93 billion per year, respectively. The annual flow of the total ecosystem supply value accounts for INR284.52 billion per year and the net present value (NPV) amounts to INR7320.6 billion, signifying the ecological, socio-cultural, and environmental support wetland provides to ecosystems in Karnataka. Appraisal of ecosystem services allows for adjusted national accounts, which reflect the output of ecosystem services as well as the depletion of natural resources and the degradation costs (externalized costs of the loss of ecosystem services) of ecosystems in economic terms, which will help raise awareness and provide a quantitative tool to evaluate the sustainability of policies towards prudent management and conservation of fragile livelihood-supporting ecosystems. The monetary valuation of ecosystem services can help in building a better understanding of their influence on well-being and can further facilitate information-driven decisions and policy reforms that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the judicious use of natural resources.
