Twenty-first Century approaches to Metacognition and its impact on ELT – A Review of Indian Doctoral Theses
Authors: P Nivetha
Published: June 2024

Since colonial times, English Language Teaching (ELT) has been extensively practised in India. The Indian ELT scenario has evolved over the years, in tune with global developments. In recent times, researchers have begun to explore the efficacy of metacognitive approaches in ELT. This paper attempts to review the trends and methods adopted by Indian doctoral research scholars in the area of metacognitive ELT studies by analysing Ph.D. theses published between 2012 and 2022. Since metacognition can positively influence English language teaching, as with other subjects, the authors attempted to analyse the PhD theses that employed metacognition in ELT in the Indian context. Based on the data obtained from Shodhganga, an Indian theses repository, we identified 29 theses that matched our requirements. The study employed a systematic review method to review the theses and adopted the PRISMA guidelines to analyse the data. The themes, major trends and factors influencing metacognitive research were analysed. The study revealed that several researchers relied heavily on a blend of experimental and quantitative approaches, relegating methodologies, topics and context to the background. The overreliance on data-driven research likely stems from several factors such as, the prevailing research culture that emphasizes quantitative research over qualitative studies, uneven emphasis on interdisciplinary research, readily available reading material and data collection sources, and more importantly, the easy accessibility of samples. Finally, the article proposes a few recommendations to develop a metacognitive English Language Teaching culture in India, based on the findings.

Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to the education sector worldwide, requiring institutions to adapt quickly to ensure pedagogical resilience and sustainability. This case study examines the strategies implemented by the National University of Science and Technology, Oman, to survive and thrive during the pandemic. Using a validated survey instrument, the study collected data from 393 students and 92 teaching staff across four campuses. The survey assessed the challenges, effectiveness, and success of the digital pedagogy adopted during the pandemic. The results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods through SPSS 29 to develop a more comprehensive understanding. The results showed that students were generally satisfied with the pedagogical section of the survey, with higher cumulative grade point assessment level students showing higher satisfaction with online theory classes. The teaching staff were also satisfied with the technical support provided for conducting online classes. However, the study noted that student satisfaction with laboratory activities was lower compared to theoretical classes. To address this, the researchers suggest the use of augmented reality and virtual reality in laboratories to enhance the learning experience of students. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of pedagogical resilience and sustainability in the face of adversity, providing insights for institutions to develop effective strategies for surviving and thriving in disruption.
Digital Storytelling Learning Outcomes and Critical Factors: A Scoping Review
Authors: Nasir Wan Mohd Faizal Wan Mohd , Halim Lilia , Arsad Nurazidawati Mohamad
Published: June 2024

Students gain various learning outcomes through digital storytelling (DST). However, there is a lack of understanding about the facilitating factors and challenges of DST in achieving learning outcomes across all dimensions of learning. To bridge this research gap, the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework was utilized to conduct a scoping review. The search process involved surveying the relevant literature using seven electronic databases: Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and Google. The content analysis of 43 reviewed studies indicated that in the cognitive dimension, the facilitating factors for significant learning outcomes achieved include the involvement of multisensory learning, adequate opportunities to practice, an evaluation of one’s own ideas, and the DST iterative process. In the affective dimension, the facilitating factors involve reflected personal experiences, the use of interactive multimedia, and a sense of control while learning. In the social dimension, safe collaborative environments for students in which ideas are shared and feedback is received through digital media continually stimulate social communication and interaction during the DST-making process. However, DST is not a direct strategy; its implementation should be planned based on consideration of three challenges that affect learning outcomes: 1) suitability of approaches, 2) variability of duration, and 3) compatibility of technology. In conclusion, by recognizing and harnessing DST facilitating factors and challenges in relation to learning outcomes, educators, researchers, and policymakers could create more fulfilled learning goals. Future researchers should build on these critical factors in educational settings so that DST learning outcomes can be maximized.

Reflective practice provides positive reinforcements for students in higher education to develop reflective writing skills, allowing them to enhance academic performance, self-reflection, decision-making and problem-solving strategies. This systematic review aims to describe essential aspects of reinforcing reflective practice through reflective writing and the contributions of reflective practice to the praxis of the students’ reflective writing skills in higher education. Using 20 of 745 peer-reviewed articles published from 2018 to 2024 in Scopus and Web of Science-indexed journals, this research applied the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to underpin the data search and identification criteria, data selection and data analysis procedures. The findings show that reflective practice embedded in reflective writing can enhance students' academic performance, particularly reflective writing skills, self-reflection and appreciation of diverse cultures, shared beliefs and values and other practices across disciplines. Such vital aspects contribute to the praxis of effortful reflective writing skills developed to implement the processes of writing essays reflectively while concentrating on collaboration, critical thinking skills, deep learning and feedback. This reflective practice assists students in reinforcing their enthusiasm to keep writing reflective essays regardless of challenges and hindrances they encounter. The more time they spend on reflective writing skills, the more they will likely appreciate reflective practice that cultivates the powerful values behind writing activities.
ANALYSIS OF THE FOUR-COMPONENT SYSTEM REDUCED MODEL CONSIDERING THE THEORY OF INTERCEPTOR-PROTECTOR ACTION
Authors: Golovchenko I. , Ratnikov V.
Published: June 2024

This paper provides a means of analysing a four-component system using a model consistent with the theory of interceptor-protector action. The given model is a further development of already well-studied three-component systems and was previously demonstrated without a symbolic and graphical solution. Elements of the theory present a complete analytical algorithm that can potentially be applied to any system of DNA-specific mixtures of aromatic drugs; components that inhibit the deleterious effects of noxious agents that interfere with biologically relevant molecular interactions, or conversely, inhibitors of catalytic agents. Such analytical models are important in the context of designing new drugs to regulate their efficacy and targeting. For the purposes of this article, the fourth component of the system is considered to be specific to the interceptor/protector in a three-component system, acting as a regulator of the inhibitory activity of the third component, with any interaction with the other two components being completely ignored. A full graphical representation of the model is given only for the extreme cases where the affinity to the fourth component is either completely absent or infinite. The qualitative analysis of the graph of the real four-component system is carried out by tracking the proximity of the experimental points to one of the previously mentioned graphs.
SIZE STRUCTURE OF PORPHYRIDIUM PURPUREUM AND TETRASELMIS VIRIDIS POPULATIONS UNDER DIFFERENT CULTIVATION REGIMES
Authors: Klochkova V. , Shumeiko D. , Lelekov A.
Published: June 2024

The study of the size structure of cultures of marine red Purphurium purpurium (Vogu) Ross and green Tetraselmis viridis Rouch microalgae under batch and quasi-continuous modes of cultivation with different irradiance was carried out. Cell size distribution was determined using a laser analyzer "Laska-TM" and a microscope with a camera. Based on a sample of 50 random cells, the mean diameter value was found. It is shown that in the accumulative mode of cultivation the cell size remains constant. The average cell diameter of Porphyridium cells ranged from 8.9 to 9.3 μm, and that of Tetraselmis from 6.8 to 7.4 μm. The result obtained is supported by literature data on cultivation of the microalga Chlorella protothecoides. The quasi-continuous regime was carried out in the exponential growth phase, when the culture density is low and the only limiting factor is the light flux intensity. It was experimentally found that the average cell diameter of both microalgae increased with increasing irradiance. It is shown that the values of average diameters obtained on the laser analyzer are overestimated than the results obtained using a microscope. The obtained data can serve as a basis for the development of growth models of the accumulative culture of microalgae. The constancy of the average cell size makes it possible to abandon complex distributed cell population models.
CARBON NANOCOMPOSITES IN MEDICINE: GRAPHENE AND POLYGRAPHENE AS POSSIBLE DRUG DELIVERY VEHICLE FOR INTESTINAL ONCOLOGY
Authors: Botin A. , Mashal D. , Popova T. , Rizk M.G.H. , Cordova A.
Published: June 2024

The paper considers one of the most important directions in modern pharmacology - targeted delivery of medicines, namely the directed transport of medicinal substance to given area of body, which is realized with help of carriers, which, as a rule, have sizes of tens or hundreds of nanometers, different nature and chemical structure. The delivery of antitumor drugs using nanoparticles is being discussed. Immobilization of drugs on nanocarriers makes it possible to increase their bioavailability. Various graphene derivatives - graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) - are being tested as carriers for drug delivery. There are several approaches for targeted drug delivery in oncology. The first, simple one is the attachment of both low– and high-molecular preparation to the surface of the carrier directly. The drug doxorubicin is firmly bound to surface of graphene oxide and is released only in acidic environment of tumor. The second, more complex method is to attach to surface of carrier not only active substance, but also guiding molecules - ligands. Sometimes ligand itself can be a drug at the same time. Polygraphene (PG) is an original modified analogue of thermally split graphite, obtained in the form of new form of expanded graphite, after repeated chemical modification and thermal activation, it is reduced to the characteristics of a layered material with stacks of carbon monolayers of smaller multiplicity (from 5 to 50), up to single sheets of graphene. The results of tests of PG as an effective basis for the immobilization of enzymes are presented, in particular, on the example of antitumor enzyme L-lysine-α-oxidase. These data indicate prospects of possible biomedical use of PG in oncology, namely, in treatment of intestinal cancer. Modified forms of graphene and polygraphene should be considered as new carrier of drugs.
SAFETY OF CARBON NANOCARRIERS IN BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS: BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF GRAPHENE AND ITS DERIVATIVES
Authors: Botin A. , Rizk M.G.H. , Popova T. , Cordova A.
Published: June 2024

The article considers one of the most important factors allowing to determine the possibility of wide and safe use of graphene nanoobjects in modern biomedicine - this is the biocompatibility factor, namely, the interaction of a graphene-containing substance with a given part of the body, which is realized at different scales and at different levels of organization of living matter. Graphene and its derivatives have shown exceptional properties and potential for various applications. While graphene derivatives as graphene-oxide (GO), reduced graphene-oxide (rGO), few-layers graphene (FLG), and multi-layers graphene (MLG) exhibit similar properties to graphene, more research is needed to address scalability and cost-effectiveness for practical applications. In tissue engineering, graphene-based materials have shown promise in scaffolds, biosensors, and drug delivery systems, but optimizing biocompatibility and functionalization strategies are crucial for safe and effective use. This work is a try to better understanding the complex interactions between graphene and biological systems, including cells, tissues, and organs, which is necessary for future research and expanding the use of graphene in biomedical applications.
CRITICAL AND LETHAL OXYGEN CONCENTRATIONS FOR SOME BLACK SEA FISH (SHORT REVIEW)
Authors: Parfyonova I. , Soldatov A.
Published: June 2024

Information on critical and lethal oxygen concentrations for some Black Sea fish is summarized. It is shown that the Black Sea fish species can be conditionally divided into two groups with respect to resistance to oxygen deficiency. Group 1 with high sensitivity and low resistance to hypoxia, which is represented mainly by pelagic and some bottom-dwelling fish species (Trachurus mediterraneus, Spicara smaris, Merlangius merlangus). Group 2 with low sensitivity and high resistance to hypoxia, representatives of which are mainly bottom and a number of bottom fish species (Scorpaena porcus, Mullus barbatus barbatus, Uranoscopus scaber). Among these species, the most resistant and least sensitive to hypoxia species are the S. porcus and the Neogobius melanostomus, which are widely represented along the Black Sea coast. The lowest values of critical and lethal oxygen tensions were obtained for them: 33-36 and 4-11 kPa, respectively. The range of dependent respiration is 22-31 kPa.
Effect of MLC901 on Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Literature Review
Authors: Ilham M. Arya Rifqi , Hunaifi Ilsa , Dirja Bayu Tirta
Published: June 2024

Acute ischemic stroke is an acute episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal infarction or damage that persists for ≥24 hours in the brain, spine, and retinal. Stroke is the second highest cause of death worldwide. The total prevalence of stroke continues to increase in the world and in Indonesia. However, stroke treatment is still less effective, so adjuvant therapy needs to be developed; one of them is MLC901. However, this therapy still needs to be studied further regarding its effect on acute ischemic stroke and the biomarkers used as the prognostic factors, such as red cell distribution width (RDW). This paper aims to determine the effect of MLC901 therapy on RDW values in acute ischemic stroke by analyzing various previous studies from different databases as a reference. Increased RDW values are associated with poor outcomes of acute ischemic stroke. MLC901 was shown to have neuroprotective and neurorestorative abilities in neurons that are under stress due to ischemia. MLC901 also can reduce inflammatory responses, reduce oxidative stress, and increase erythropoietin (EPO) production. So, administration of adjuvant MLC901 therapy can reduce RDW values and improve neurological outcomes in acute ischemic stroke.
Comparison of The Relative Brain Sizes and Learning Abilities of Animals of The Rodentia
Authors: Suripto Suripto
Published: June 2024

Animals from the order rodentia are often used as experimental animals to study the fields of biology, medicine and animal husbandry, but are rarely used as objects of study to determine their position in evolutionary development and their role in the surrounding environment. One aspect of animal evolutionary development is learning behavior. Learning behavior in animals, especially those related to intelligence, is correlated with the relative size of the animal's brain. This research has examined the comparison of intelligence levels and relative brain size between animals, especially four species of animals from the Order Rodentia, namely mice (Mus musculus), mice (Rattus assimilis), hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) and guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus). The learning ability of test animals was measured using the T-Maze procedure according to a complete group randomized experimental design. Data on the learning ability of the test animals were processed using ANOVA Model I and continued with the Orthogonal Contrast Test. The results of the research show that the average learning ability from highest to lowest is possessed by mice, hamsters, guinea pigs and mice. This learning ability data is in sync with data on relative brain size, namely the relative size of the largest brain in mice and the relative size of the smallest brain in mice. The learning ability of mice and rats, which both come from the same family, namely Disciples, is not significantly different from that of hamsters from another family, namely Cricetidae. Rats, mice and hamsters, which all come from the same suborder, namely Myomorpha, have much higher learning abilities compared to guinea pigs which come from another suborder, namely Hystricomorpha.

The Effect of Absorption of The Heavy Metal Lead (Pb), in Depuration Media on The Quality of Seaweed Renderment
Authors: Maghfiroh Hanifatul , Rahim Andi Rahmad
Published: June 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of lead (Pb) heavy metal absorption in depuration media on the agar quality and yield of seaweed (Gracilaria sp) from local coastal waters, and to assess its potential use in industry. The research method involved analyzing six seaweed samples using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) to measure Pb content and calculate the dry matter yield. The results showed that the SB samples (SB1, SB2, SB3) did not contain detectable levels of Pb, indicating that their growing environment was relatively free from heavy metal contamination. In contrast, the SS samples (SS1, SS2, SS3) showed detectable levels of Pb, with the highest concentration in SS2 (2.65 mg/kg). The dry matter yield in the SB samples averaged around 20%, while the SS samples had a slightly higher average yield of around 21.5%. These results indicate that the SS samples had a higher dry matter content compared to the SB samples. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the SB samples are safer for industrial use due to the absence of Pb contamination, whereas the SS samples require further treatment to reduce the risk of Pb contamination. This study emphasizes the importance of regular monitoring and testing for heavy metal content in seaweed to ensure product quality and safety, as well as effective environmental management of coastal waters to prevent heavy metal contamination of vital natural resources.

The article explores educational challenges in Asmat Regency, part of South Papua Province, hindered by geographical and social factors. It scrutinizes the educational landscape, emphasizing the low average years of schooling (AYS) and geographical issues affecting access. Data reveals that most Asmat children only reach basic education due to uneven educational distribution and limited transportation access. Influencing factors include a shortage of educators and insufficient school facilities. AYD trend analysis indicates that achieving the mandatory nine years of education is far from the government's target. In response, a policy program is devised to enhance AYS in Asmat, involving dormitory construction, educational aid, scholarships, school building development, staff housing, and teacher and educational staff restructuring. Despite its holistic approach, effective monitoring and evaluation are crucial for successful implementation. Aligned with South Papua's developmental potential, this article aspires that these measures contribute to advancing education accessibility and quality in Asmat Regency

Paródia e Opróbrio? — Ainda no século VIII, era matéria de controvérsia entre os cristãos o crucifixo na arte. Sereno, Bispo de Marselha (séc. VIII), e Cláudio, Bispo de Turim (séc. IX), consideravam-no “um opróbrio da Paixão e uma paródia da morte de Cristo”. A veneração dessa imagem constituía uma negação da ressurreição (Cláudio de Turim, PL CV, col. 461-462). Até essa época, não figurava a crucifixão nos mais célebres monumentos do cristianismo em Ravena, Roma e Constantinopla. Na Basílica de Santa Sofia, apesar das suas inúmeras decorações, nada consta sôbre esta cena culminante da vida de Jesus.

Pugsadba : ces figures invisibles du leadership féminin et jeune chez les Moose (Burkina Faso.)
Authors: Konkobo Adjara
Published: June 2024

RÉSUMÉ: Cet article traite de la problématique de l’invisibilisation des jeunes filles (pugsadba) dans le leadership féminin et jeune à Yako, une ville moaaga (mossi) au Burkina Faso, régi par des normes patriarcales et gérontocratiques. Le concept d’intersectionnalité est mobilisé pour montrer que le genre, l’âge et le statut conjugal constituent des facteurs combinés de domination qui conduisent à la mise à l’écart des pugsadba des espaces de leadership à Yako. Leurs ainées, mariées ou veuves, règnent en leaders féminins, et leurs pairs masculins de même âge, en leaders jeunes. L’analyse de ces catégories, leadership féminin et leadership jeune permet de comprendre le processus par lequel les jeunes femmes continuent d’être marginalisées dans les champs du pouvoir. ABSTRACT: This article addresses the issue of the invisibility of young girls (pugsadba) in the fields of female and youth leadership in Yako, a Moaga, environment in Burkina Faso, governed by patriarchal and gerontocratic norms. The concept of intersectionality is used to show that the gender, age, and marital status, are combined factors of domination, that lead to the exclusion of pugsadba from leadership spaces in Yako city. Their older counterparts, whether married or widow, reign as female leaders, while their male peers lead in youth leadership roles. Analyzing the contours of these categories of “female leadership” and “youth leadership” help to understand the process by which young women continue to be marginalized in the field of power.

Türk xalqlarının təsəvvüründə səma cisimləri haqqındakı örnəklər arasında da Ülkər ulduzu, onun etiologiyası ilə bağlı nümunələr özünəməxsus yer tutur. Müxtəlif nəzəri mənbələrdə və şifahi örnəklərdə çox parlayan Ülkər ulduzu bir çox hallarda ulduzlar topası, Türkiyə folklorşünaslığında “ulduz kümesi” kimi tanıdılır. Bu örnəkləri araşdırarkən ilk növbədə Ülkər ulduzunun adlandırılması məsələsinə toxunmağı lazım bilirik. Bir çox tədqiqat əsərlərində və lüğətlərdə bu ada müəyyən izahlar verilmişdir. Ülkər ulduzu bəzi şifahi örnəklərdə elə bizim ifadə etdiyimiz kimi, Ülkər adlandırılır. Müxtəlif Türk xalqlarının folklorunda Ülkər fərqli adlarla ifadə olunur.
XI-XIV əsrlər Türkmən alimlərinin əsərlərində tez-tez ulduz topası Pleyada (Ülkər) haqqında danışılır. Salar Babanın əsərində o, Sureya, Qazi Bürhanəddinin əsərində Pərvin adlandırılır. Türk xalqları arasında geniş yayılmış şifahi örnəklərə görə, qədim zamanlarda Ülkər havanı idarə edən ruh imiş. Ülkər nə vaxt görünməyə başlasa, öldürücü soyuqlar və fırtınalar başlayar.
Örnəklərdə əksər hallarda ulduzun maddi olaraq yaranışından söz açılır. Digər bir örnəkdə Ülkər adının yaranışından bəhs olunaraq, müəyyən hərəkətlə əlaqələndirilir. Bu mövzulu örnəklərin süjetlərində “göyə çıxma” motivi əsas yer tutur. Ülkərin digər bir canlı tərəfindən göyə aparılması faktına da Türk xalqlarının təsəvvürlərində rast gəlinir.
Bütün bunlardan belə nəticə çıxarmaq olar ki, Türk xalqlarının dünyagörüşündə indiki vəziyyəti soyuq hava ilə əlaqələndirilən Ülkər ulduzu örnəklərdə yür üzündə yaşayan hər hansı canlıdır. Həmin canlı müəyən səbəblərdən göy üzünə qalxır, Ülkər ulduzuna çevrilir.
Analysis factors affecting the acceptance of multi-lane free flow in Indonesia
Authors: Candraswari Jauhar Malika
Published: June 2024

The study investigates the adoption of the Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system in Indonesia, focusing on factors influencing user acceptance and usage. Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the research examines the perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) of MLFF, as well as their impact on behavioral intention to use (BI) and actual system use (ASU). The results indicate that while users encounter difficulties due to lack of guidance and socialization, the perceived usefulness of MLFF significantly influences behavioral intention to use it. Therefore, to enhance the adoption of MLFF, it is recommended that service providers improve user education and highlight the system's benefits. These efforts can increase user understanding and acceptance of MLFF, ultimately driving its effective usage on toll roads in Indonesia.
Complicated Dextroversion of the Heart: A rare constellation of multiple congenital malformations in an infant: Case report and literature review
Authors: Akhil Mehrotra  , Faiz Illahi Siddiqui  , Mohammad Shaban
Published: June 2024

Dextroversion of the heart is a form of dextrocardia resulting from congenital malrotation of the heart about its long axis. The earliest reference to the condition is credited to Paltauf, who, in 1901, differentiated it from the other forms of dextrocardia. Since then, a considerable volume of information regarding this type of right-sided heart has accumulated. In spite of the fact that the radiologist is often the first to be confronted with the anomaly, only scant information concerning it is available in the radiological literature. Dextroversion may exist in association with an otherwise normally developed heart or it may be accompanied by numerous varieties of congenital cardiac anomalies. Dextroversion is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by situs solitus (normal position) of thoracic and abdominal viscera with right cardiac apex. Isolated dextroversion, i.e., without associated congenital heart disease, is rare, but its occurrence permits adult survival, setting the stage for late development of acquired heart disease. Exceptionally, dextroversion with abdominal heterotaxy has been mentioned by Robert P. Grant after reviewing the literature of 122 patients of dextroversion of heart in 1958. Herewith, we are reporting a case of dextroversion with situs solitus in association with a characteristic conundrum of multiple and rare congenital cardiac defects, in a 6 month old infant.

Authors: Ghislain Berlin Viban  , Ali Gürel,Honorine Nug
Published: June 2024

This research seeks to unveil the sedimentological features of Imam Hatip for the first time in this region.Found in the Çiftlik Basin particularly at latitude 38°10'48.15" N and longitude 34°28'9.42" E and about 1535 m above sea level.In this article,Imam Hatip in Çiftlik (IMA-1 to IMA-16) (A-P), consisting of paleosols and terrestrial sediments in which a profile from a collection of 54 specimens was initially examined.This article assesses the depositional patterns of fluvial and lacustrine sediments at Imam Hatip during the Quaternary period. The Quaternary deposits comprise terrestrial sediments and paleosols, encompassing a range of particle sizes from fine to coarse grains, including peat, silt, clay, sands, and pebbles. While some coarse and angular grains originated from nearby sources, finer grains likely underwent extensive transportation by wind and water, experiencing repeated cycles of erosion and deposition with a core depth of 860cm. The sedimentological depositional features of the Imam Hatip Formation in the Çiftlik Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey, are investigated in this study. The Imam Hatip Formation represents a significant geological unit in the region, offering insights into the depositional processes and environmental conditions during its formation. Through detailed field observations, sedimentological analyses, and stratigraphic interpretations, this study aims to characterize the depositional facies, sedimentary structures, and lithological variations within the Imam Hatip Formation. Additionally, paleoenvironmental reconstructions and interpretations will be conducted to elucidate the depositional environments and paleoclimatic conditions prevalent during the deposition of the formation. The integration of sedimentological data with regional geological context and stratigraphic frameworks will provide valuable insights into the depositional history and paleogeography of the Çiftlik Basin during the time of Imam Hatip Formation deposition. This research contributes to the broader understanding of sedimentary processes and paleoenvironmental dynamics in Central Anatolia, while also providing a foundation for further geological investigations and resource assessments in the region. The sediments exhibit significant variability in sorting within unconsolidated or partially lithified sediments and paleosols. While some levels display poor sorting, others exhibit moderate sorting characteristics. Additionally, paleosol, silty, and sandy levels commonly contain quartz, feldspar, amphibole, as well as fragments of metamorphic, volcanic, and igneous rocks.

The study assessed the adaptive capacity of millet/yam farmers in the six Area Councils of FCT using Geoinformatics. The objectives of the study were to analyze the variation of millet, yam and the climatic elements for the six-area council within the period of study (2000-2021), to analyse the trend of climate characteristics as regards millet and yam yield in Abuja and to establish the relationship between the crop yield and climatic variables under study. Socio-economic indicators were used to map the adaptive capacity of FCT farmers to climate variability from 2000-2021. The arable crops considered are: yam and millet. The selected climatic variables based on their importance to crop production are: rainfall, temperature and relative humidity. Simple computations of sums, annual averages were performed on the climate variables of rainfall, temperature and relative humidity. The result was summarized into annual mean for analysis. The regression result revealed that the variance in, millet and yam respectively be explained by the climatic elements under study. Similarly, of the variance in yam and millet respectively can also be explained by the climatic elements under study. Hence, there is no significant difference in impacts of changes in climatic elements between yam and millet yield. Therefore, it can be concluded that, the trend of climate features varied among the six area councils. The area's relative humidity would only marginally decrease by 2026, according to climate scenario forecast. It is recommended that steps should be taken using locally applied evidence-based technology to prevent uncertainties that might discourage the production of yam and millet by offering improved yam breeds and millet seedlings that are resilient to shocks from climate fluctuations.

The known information about this worldview phenomenon is summarized in the article. The author defines the semantic meaning of the word, the features of the phenomenon and notes common features with the traditions of other peoples. Objective: to determine the meaning of the words myzha and myzhjyny in the traditional culture of the Komi-Permyak people and to bring out the ritual and mythological complex associated with them. Research materials: published materials of the XIX–XXI centuries, field materials of the author. Results and novelty of the research: the author’s field materials are introduced into scientific circulation. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the representations about myzha is carried out, which allows to identify their specifics and dynamics of development; to identify the connection with ritual practices; to identify common features with other peoples. At the present, the Komi-Permyak people use words with the root myzh in several meanings: illness, punishment from supernatural power, and witchcraft damage. The representations about myzha are syncretic. They combine faith in polytheism, ancestral cult, animism. They led to the development of a number of ritual practices aimed at diagnosing the 139 Bulletin of Ugric Studies.

Abstract
Introduction : The use of contact lenses can cause dry eye syndrome due to impaired meibomian gland function. Impaired meibomian gland function causes the tear film to evaporate quickly. Contact lenses decrease the production of the tear film reflex due to decreased sensitivity of the ocular surface. The tear film becomes unstable due to friction between the contact lens and the surface of the eye. Decreased tear film production and increased evaporation due to contact lens wear increase the occurrence of dry eye syndrome.
Case Report : Based on this study, 26 out of 41 respondents who filled out the OSDI questionnaire experienced dry eye syndrome. Then, of the 41 people who underwent the Schirmer test, 23 of them had dry eye syndrome. The research results obtained a significance value of more than 0.005 where H1 was rejected and H0 was accepted.
Discussion : Dry eyes due to soft contact lenses are influenced by many factors, namely factors from the respondents themselves such as age, gender, general health, eye health and use of systemic drugs. Lens material and lens replacement schedule, lens disinfection systems, use of lens drops, additional treatments such as additional supplements, topical medications, punctal plugs, ergonomic factors and environmental factors.
 
Keywords : contact lenses, dry eye syndrome, OSDI questionnaire, Schirmer test.

Rhythmic gymnastics, a distinguished discipline within the Olympic sports family, exemplifies a sophisticated blend of athleticism and artistic expression, categorizing it as a technicalcombinatory sport where precise motor control is paramount. This study investigates the relationship between academic performance in subjects requiring logical and mathematical reasoning and the proficiency of gymnasts in handling rhythmic gymnastics apparatus. Through the analysis of statistical data and mathematical assessments, the research aims to determine the impact of mathematical skills on executing complex and high-risk elements in rhythmic gymnastics routines. The findings reveal a significant correlation between mathematical test scores and gymnasts' performance, indicating that cognitive abilities in logical and mathematical reasoning substantially enhance the athletes' capability to perform intricate maneuvers with precision and control. This suggests that success in rhythmic gymnastics is not solely dependent on physical attributes but is also significantly influenced by cognitive skills. These results underscore the importance of integrating cognitive training into athletic preparation to achieve excellence in rhythmic gymnastics.
