Authors: Giraldo Pérez Wilson , Otero Gómez María Cristina
Published: February 2025

The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between student diversity and the perception of university brand performance in two Higher Education Institutions (HEI). It is a comparative study conducted between two public universities located in Villavicencio - Colombia and Coatzacoalcos - Mexico.  The research model suggests that diversity has a direct and positive relationship with university brand performance and that this relationship is mediated by the students' level of education. To achieve the objective, a quantitative study was conducted using non-probabilistic sampling that included a total of 673 students from the two universities. Partial least squares (PLS) technique was employed to test whether student diversity can predict university brand performance. Additionally, a t-test was used to measure the similarity or difference of the means of the perception of the variables student diversity and university brand performance. The findings showed that the two variables have a causal relationship; however, the mediating effect of the level of education could not be proven. It is concluded that from the students' perspective, the elements of diversity, including inclusion, respect for ideas and beliefs, power sharing, collaborative work for decision making and participation, lead to university brand performance.

The objective of this study is to design a prospective and scenario-based competitiveness model based on the school's proposal of modified probabilistic trends, applied to an Excel tool so that they can expand their markets and enter the health market in Bogotá. To meet the objective, an instrument was generated with the proposed variables, a statistical analysis was carried out with a database of the Ministry of Health, Fasecolda, Chamber of Commerce of Bogotá, DANE, BACEX. The results obtained through the use of the proposed Excel tool allow the necessary calculations for investment and decision making. The originality of the model will allow local surgical suture manufacturing companies to implement strategies to enter the market with better or equal quality than multinationals. It is concluded that the model that would be applied is optimal, because it establishes prospective-competitive scenarios, with indicators of liquidity, profitability and productivity that favor competitiveness; such as Ebitda, current ratio, ROA, liquidity, indebtedness, concentration of liabilities, and the indebtedness ratio, which reflect its financial situation, allowing us to infer how competitive the organization is; competitive factors may pose probable scenarios that may occur in the pharmaceutical market.
GPR120/FFAR4 protects retinal vascular endothelial cells against high glucose injury via suppressing ROS-ERS mediated apoptosis
Authors:   Department of Ophthalmology, Xi’an Savaid Ophthalmology Hospital, Xi’an 710032, Shaanxi Province, China, Wang Li-Zhao
Published: February 2025

AIM: To evaluate the role of reactive oxygen species-endoplasmic reticulum stress (ROS-ERS) in the cellular protection of G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120/FFAR4) against high glucose (HG) induced human retinal vascular endothelial cell (HRVEC) injury and its underlying mechanisms.
METHODS: HRVECs were divided into the control group, GW9508 (an agonist of GPR120) group, HG group, and HG+GW9508 group. The cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by cell counting kit-8 and annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit, respectively. Western blotting analysis was performed to assess the protein expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1). The ROS assay kit was used for the detection of ROS production. Then the cells were transfected with siRNA of GPR120 and the ROS level and protein levels of ATF6, PERK, and IER1 were compared.
RESULTS: GW9508 promoted the proliferation of HRVECs, which was significantly reduced by the stimulation of HG. GW9508 remarkably reduced the apoptosis rate of HRVECs under HG and the expression of proapoptotic protein Bax, while increased the expression of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Under HG condition, a significant increase of ROS production was noticed in HRVECs, and GW9508 treatment greatly decreased it. The over-expressions of ERS-related proteins ATF6, PERK, and IER1 under HG were down-regulated by GW9508 treatment. After successfully transfected with siGPR120, the effects of GW9508 on the production of ROS as well as the expressions of ATF6, PERK, and IER1 were reversed.
CONCLUSION: GPR120 protects HRVECs against HG induced apoptosis, and suppressing ROS-ERS pathway is one of the mechanisms involved. Activation of GPR120 may be considered as a potential therapeutic target for diabetic retinopathy.

Published: February 2025

AIM: To compare the efficacy of different administration regimens of compound tropicamide eyedrops (CTE) for pupil dilation for children with dark iris.
METHODS: A prospective, comparative, randomized interventional study was conducted. Children in Group 1 received CTE 3 times with a 3min interval between each application. Children in Group 2 received CTE 4 times with a 5min interval between each application. We measured their pupil diameters at baseline (pre-drug instillation) and 30min and 60min post-drug instillation and assessed the pupillary light reflex at 60min post-drug instillation.
RESULTS: In total, 194 eyes of 101 children were enrolled. The changes of pupil diameter at 30min and 60min post-drug instillation were 1.2±0.6 mm and 2.3±1.0 mm in Group 1, and 2.3±0.9 mm and 3.7±1.0 mm in Group 2, respectively. Group 2 showed a larger change in pupil size than Group 1 at 30min (P<0.01) and 60min (P<0.01). The effect of pupil dilation in Group 2 was 1.25 times that in Group 1. The change in pupil size was positively associated with age. A higher proportion of children in Group 1 had smaller pupil diameter and reactive pupils at the final time point, with only 33 children (33.7%) had final pupil size ≥6.5 mm, and only 9 children (9.2%) had non-reactive pupils. Children in Group 2 achieved larger pupil diameter and more non-reactive pupils at the final time point, with 84 children (87.5%) had final pupil size ≥6.5 mm, and only 22 children (22.9%) had reactive pupils.
CONCLUSION: Increasing the frequency of compound tropicamide and lengthening the interval between eye drop applications can produce stronger mydriatic effects.

Published: February 2025

AIM: To evaluate the prevalence and the causes of blindness, severe visual impairment (SVI), and visual impairment (VI) and to investigate the frequency of cataract surgery in people aged ≥50y in Yueqing, Zhejiang Province, China.
METHODS: A population-based, cross-sectional study was performed using the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness technique. Eight-seven clusters, each consisting of 50 people aged ≥50y, were selected by probability-proportionate-to-size sampling. Three outreach teams conducted door-to-door visits. Visual acuity (VA) was measured using a tumbling E chart. Lens status and causes of VI were assessed by ophthalmologists for individuals with a VA of <6/12 in either eye. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect information about cataract surgeries.
RESULTS: Of 4350 eligible individuals, 4120 were examined with a 94.7% response rate. Age- and gender-adjusted prevalence of blindness, SVI, and VI were 0.5% (95%CI, 0.3%–0.7%), 0.7% (95%CI, 0.4%–1.0%), and 4.8% (95%CI, 4.2%–5.5%), respectively. Age was associated with an increased prevalence of VI, and the most common cause of VI was untreated cataracts, with the main barriers to cataract surgery being a lack of knowledge or awareness about cataracts. Of the 415 eyes operated on for cataracts, 68 (16.4%) eyes had a poor outcomes (VA<6/60) and 303 (73.0%) had a good outcomes (VA>6/18).
CONCLUSION: Prevalence rates of blindness, SVI, and VI in Yueqing are lower than other reported Chinese population-based studies. Cataracts remain the most common cause of blindness and VI.

Authors: Yahya Anwar Ali
Published: February 2025

In the recent years, learning analytics is attracting attention in tertiary education sector. This paper presents a case study of applying learning analytics approaches to discover knowledge from Outcome Based (OB) engineering programs' data. More specifically, Association Rule Mining approach is applied to a dataset extracted from the Self-Study Reports of 152 engineering programs accredited by American Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). In doing so, the dataset has been processed and transformed into a suitable representation. Apriori algorithm is then applied to generate rules involving PEOs and ABET SOs. The generated rules are filtered, and the filtered rules are used to draw a set of generic rules for mapping each PEO to ABET SOs and to discover the correlations among ABET SOs. Finally, the practical benefits of the discovered insights to the engineering programs' academicians, decision makers, and ABET are discussed.

Authors: Zedan Raed
Published: February 2025

This qualitative research study focused on science teachers' perceptions and attitudes towards the integration of digital books in elementary and junior high schools. In order to examine this subject, interviews were conducted with 138 teachers. The results emphasized the positive contribution of digital books to science teaching. The interviewees indicated that integrating this material presented a professional challenge, but listed a large number of advantages: introducing such books encouraged investigation, increased motivation, and improved learning achievements. At the same time, they had reservations and were convinced that there were also disadvantages, as some learners and teachers did not easily become accustomed to integrating digital books into lessons. An important matter raised by the teachers was the contribution made by integrating digital books to classroom climate during the lessons, thus the majority of the teachers indicated that they created a positive, comfortable, supportive, and cooperative atmosphere. They also stated that the learners maintained good relations among themselves and with their teachers and enjoyed and were satisfied with the lessons conducted by means of digital books.

Published: February 2025

Evidence-based instruction or active learning is being more widely implemented in college teaching, and there is a need for instructors, evaluators and researchers to quantify their implementation in order to, for example, determine the efficacy of a new instructional technique. Here we introduce a new method for measuring students' level of engagement with their learning. The method relies on an established and research-based theoretical framework and is built in the form of a mobile application for the two most popular smartphone platforms. Five separate studies presented here establish the fidelity of the method, its ability to measure subtle variations among students within the same class, the students' patterns of learning during out-of-class study periods, and the versatility of the app to make different measurements of learning in different contexts, including an exploratory examination of the impact of the sudden shift to remote learning prompted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Published: February 2025

Aim. Analysis of the objectivity and competence of assessments by foreign researchers of reserves and resources of minerals in the liberated territories of the Russian Federation, expressed, including in monetary terms.Methodology. Publications in Western media, discussion of these publications on Russian information portals, Russian and foreign encyclopedic online publications, as well as archival materials from the period of restoration of Donbass were analyzed.Results. The given list of deposits of mineral raw materials does not correspond to the real figures reflected both in the state balance of mineral resources of Ukraine and earlier information on the Ukrainian SSR as part of the USSR. Open foreign sources on coal in the Northern Black Sea region do not take into account the work necessary to restore the level of extraction of mineral raw materials and its primary processing to the level of 2014. Publications show the lack of professional competence of peer-reviewed articles, including those in the Encyclopædia Britannica.Research implications. This analytical study shows the level of incompetence and bias of foreign researchers in assessing mineral reserves and resources, while simultaneously revealing real factual data on subsoil use and monetary assessment of the volume of mineral resources in the liberated territories of the Northern Black Sea region.

Authors: Reshotkin O. V. , Alyabina I. O. , Khudyakov O. I.
Published: February 2025

Aim. The purpose of this work is to study the dynamics of air temperature and soil temperature in different soil zones of Western Siberia in relation to modern climate change.Methodology. Based on long-term data from 259 weather stations located on the territory of Western Siberia, an analysis of air and soil temperature distribution and their changes within the areas of nine soil zones (subzones) for the period 1951–2020 was carried out using geographic information systems.Results. It is shown that in the modern period in all soil zones of Western Siberia there is a climate change towards warming, which is characterized by zonality. The most significant increase in air temperature in the last decade is observed in the north of Western Siberia, especially in the arctic tundra, subarctic tundra and northern taiga subzones, and it becomes less noticeable as we move southward to the steppe zone. Modern warming leads to a change in the temperature regime of soils in Western Siberia and, as a result, a shift of soil-climatic zones to the north. Mapping models of the average annual air temperature for each decade of the period 1951–2020 and the climatic norm 1961–1990 were created, as well as mapping models of air temperature change (average annual and by seasons of the year).Research implications. The revealed changes in the atmospheric and soil climate must be taken into account when assessing climate risks and developing agrotechnical measures for growing crops, as well as measures to protect infrastructure facilities in the cryolithozone.

Authors: Kruzhalin V. I. , Mazhar L. Yu.
Published: February 2025

Aim. Justify the possibility of applying a geosystem approach to the development of tourist space in the Russian Federation.Methodology. The work on the analysis of the sustainable development of tourist space was carried out in the context of the geosystemic paradigm, which has become well-established in geographical science in recent decades. It enabled the authors to substantiate the geosystem approach and adapt the methods of system-structural analysis to the study of the tourist space. The work included several stages: organizational, analytical, informational, applied and an implementation stage. The combination of geographical methods within the framework of the geosystemic approach made it possible to develop an algorithm for the general development of the tourist space in Russia.Results. The joint activity of the authors of this article covers the period from 2018 to the present. Over this period an analysis of the theoretical foundations of the tourism spatial organization has been conducted, the scientific and methodological foundations for the formation of interregional tourism projects have been determined, a model of the spatial organization of the“Western Facade of Russia”interregional tourism project has been created, and a starting version of the web portal, which isposted on the Internet,has been developed. One of the most important results of the study is the algorithm for the development of tourist space, the basis of which is the idea of a “territorial tourism and recreation system” (TTRS), based on a “supporting tourism and recreation framework”. In the course of joint work there was identified an interregional tourism and recreation system that underlies the tourist space of the zone of the “Western Facade of Russia” interregional tourism project, covering the territory of four adjacent regions located between the Moscow Capital Region and the state border in the west of the country.Research implications. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the establishment of scientific and methodological foundations and the creation of an algorithm for the development of tourist space based on the geosystem approach, which was tested on the example of an interregional tourism project. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the “Western facade of Russia”web portal in the organization of tourism activities on the territory of four constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Published: February 2025

Alm. The purpose of the article is to identify some general and regional features and reasons for the dynamics of domestic and external (outbound) tourism development in the Russian Federation over the past 20 years. It is proposed to describe and evaluate the existing significant and diverse resource potential of domestic tourism development in the country in the context of the actual directions of domestic tourism development in Russia proposed by the authors.Methodology. Comparative geographical and statistical research methods were used. The following indicators were used, reflecting the dynamics of the development of the tourism industry for the period from 2002 to 2021: the number of Russian tourists sent by tourist companies on tours in Russia and abroad, thousand people and % to previous years. The materials of the study were the official data of Rosstat. Within the period 2002–2021, data for 2007, 2009 and 2015 were selected, which made it possible to identify some features and patterns of the dynamics of the Russian tourism industry in connection with domestic and foreign policy and economic reasons.Results. An analysis of statistical indicators characterizing the dynamics of the development of domestic and external (outbound) tourism in the Russian Federation over several periods showed that the tourism industry responds quite quickly to both positive and negative reasons affecting its dynamics, with a time lag of only 1–2 years. It is confirmed that the economic crisis of 2008, the coronavirus pandemic of 2020–2021, as well as sanctions in connection with the political events of 2014 and 2021. significantly and ambiguously influenced the development of the tourism industry in Russia. Many regions of Russia still associate their hopes for further economic development with the tourism industry, but the potential resources for tourism development are very unequal.Research implications. The article summarises new statistical material on the topic under study and introduces the author's typology of domestic tourism development directions in Russia.

Aim. To assess the implementation of the reform of solid municipal waste management in the Russian Federation (RF) as a whole and at the level of a separate constituent entity of the Russian Federation – the Oryol region.

Procedure and methods. The research methods were the economic and geographical analysis of the logistical aspects of the MSW management system and the study of the effectiveness of the legal norms governing this system.

Results. Problems that reduce the effectiveness of reforming the MSW management system at the federal level have been studied.

Research implications. Disclosure of the main problems that reduce the effectiveness of reforming the MSW management system, and the development of proposals that can optimize this system at the level of a particular region. In particular, attention is drawn to the need for legally unambiguous definitions of waste classified as MSW in the Federal Classification Catalog of Waste (FKKO). The need to adopt legislative norms that stimulate the deepening of MSW sorting and the development of recycling industries is pointed out. Specific proposals for logistical optimization of the territorial waste management scheme at the level of a separate region (Oryol region) are presented.
Influence of landscape-ecological changes on river flow transformation of two analogues drains in the southwestern part of the Ob-Irtysh basin
Authors: Kurakova A.  A. , Medvedkov A.  A.
Published: February 2025

Aim. The transformation of water runoff (for the period from 1959–1980 to 2016) is considered on the example of two analogous catchments of the Nitsa and Pyshma rivers (the right tributaries of the Tura river) in terms of area characteristics and natural landscape conditions. Ob). These catchment areas differ only in the degree of anthropogenic transformation, which allows them to be considered as interesting objects for comparative analysis.

Procedure and methods. The average values of monthly water consumption, maximum and minimum water consumption were selected as primary hydrological data. In conjunction with the dynamics of hydrological parameters, climate change trends are also considered, and their contribution to the formation of the runoff of the Nitsa and Pyshma rivers is shown. It was found that climate dynamics at this stage does not significantly contribute to changes in the structure of the liquid flow of the rivers under consideration. The trends of landscape abioticization in the two studied catchments are estimated based on the analysis of land use dynamics, calculation of the rate of change in the area of anthropogenic objects and the degree of fragmentation of the basin land area by artificial boundaries. It is revealed that the most transformed catchment is the river catchment area.

Results. Nitsa (78% of anthropogenic-modified and technogenic-transformed landscapes and 14% of non-fragmented territory, compared to 58% and 20% within the Pyshma river catchment area, respectively). The influence of anthropogenic transformation of landscapes (in the form of increased abioticization of the catchment area and its fragmentation) on the change in the structure of the liquid flow of two rivers is estimated. Increasing the degree of abiotical and fragmentation of the catchment contributes to greater response of Nitsa river on the climate change that is observed in the form of increasing the role of spring floods and increased flood risk.

Research implications. It seems that this approach is of interest for predicting fluctuations in river flow in conditions of increasing climate instability. In conclusion, a set of indicators for assessing the ecological state of watersheds is proposed. In conclusion, it is proposed to assess the ecological state of catchments by the sum of parameters: phytomass reserves in dynamics, the degree of fragmentation of the territory by area and linear objects of anthropogenic (including technogenic) origin and its change trends. and its change trends, dynamics of surface and underground runoff components, change in the share of spring floods and summer-autumn floods in the river runoff structure, dynamics of river runoff during hydrological phases, presence and recurrence of catastrophic hydrological events (abnormally high floods, floods, river shallowing, etc.).

The study aims to analyze how stance is realized linguistically in presidential discourse, the methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis were applied. Based on the results drawn from the quantitative analysis, pragmatic functions of stance features, speaker’s preferences for these resources and their frequencies in the texts were revealed.

Results. The analysis showed that yet Zelensky used all three types of stance-taking resources – boosters, attitude and self-mention markers, he opted for the latter two ones, avoiding the extensive use of certainty and intensity devices. The article concludes that the strategic use of stance features is of great value to the politician as it helps emphasize or de-emphasize social actions or social actors, enhance credibility, and persuade recipients into believing or doing something.

Research implications. The article specified the concept of stance in relation to political communication and demonstrated that stance features can serve a manipulative purpose exploited by politicians to enhance credibility. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of using stance to study manipulation in political communication.

Background: At new alluvial zone of WB, milk production has not received adequate attention and this has been a major obstacle in dairy development. Methods: Experiment was conducted on 14 Jersey crossbred cows to compare 2 milking operation viz. flat-parlor machine (group-I) and full-hand (group-II) milking at NDRI, ERS (WB). Result: The statistically analysed data of 280 milk samples revealed that milk quantity was significantly higher in group-I as compared to group-II but SCC, CMT, SFMT were significantly lower in group-I than group-II. Other quality parameters (MBRT, fat, SNF, TS, protein, FPR) were varied non-significantly between groups. The time required for milking/animal was significantly higher in group-II than group-I but milk extraction rate significantly lower in group-II than group-I. BCS of animals of both groups varied non-significantly with in a normal range. Significantly higher milk quantity was recorded during morning than evening milking session in both groups. Non-significant variation of SCC, CMT, SFMT, MBRT, fat, SNF, TS, protein, FPR were found in between two milking sessions of each group. The milk extraction rate was significantly lower during evening than morning whereas time required for milking/animal was higher in morning than evening session in both groups. It can be concluded that higher quantity and quality of milk can be produced in flat-parlor machine milking operation in comparison to full-hand milking operation in Jersey crossbred cows at new alluvial zone of West Bengal.

A consecuencia del ventarrón de aire fresco que la nouvelle vague trajo consigo, las cinematografías de muchos países se consolidaron como las más interesantes del planeta. Polonia es cuna de los dos directores a los que queremos homenajear en la presente edición de CineScrúpulos: Krzysztof Kieslowski y Andrzej Zulawski. De registros claramente distintos, comparten un elemento en común: ambos finalizaron sus carreras en Francia debido a una serie de circunstancias vinculadas con ciertas presiones del gobierno que derivaron en censura o en control de los contenidos.

This article examines the tradition of Qolbul Al-Qur'an recitation at Majlis Mistiqbigh in Seduri, Wonodadi, Blitar, regularly practiced as an act of worship to strengthen the congregation’s connection to Allah SWT and as an expression of religious identity. Academically, it addresses the need for in-depth study on the preservation and transmission of Quran-based traditions as living cultural practices. The study aims to understand the meanings embedded in Qolbul Al-Qur'an recitation and its spiritual impact on the community. Using the Living Quran approach and Karl Mannheim's theory, the study explores three dimensions of meaning: objective, expressive, and documentary. The findings reveal that the objective meaning of this tradition is to foster the spiritual growth of the Seduri, Wonodadi, and Blitar communities, nurturing a deep reverence for the Qur'an. The expressive dimension reflects the congregation’s belief in the blessings and virtues of Qur'anic recitation, while the documentary meaning underscores the tradition’s roots and continuity in the community. In conclusion, the Qolbul Al-Qur'an recitation is not only a spiritual practice but also a foundational element shaping the religious and cultural identity of the local society, ensuring the community’s enduring connection to the Qur'an.

Chronic liver disease (CLD) and cirrhosis are leading contributors to global morbidity and mortality, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently arising in patients with advanced liver damage. This review explores the interplay between immune dysfunction and the progression of cirrhosis to HCC, emphasizing the pivotal role of immune status in HCC pathogenesis. Chronic inflammation, cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction syndrome (CAIDS), and immunosenescence create a permissive environment for tumorigenesis by impairing immune surveillance and promoting hepatocyte stress. Key mechanisms include T cell exhaustion, dysregulated cytokine signaling, and gut-liver axis dysfunction, which collectively drive malignant transformation. Emerging immune biomarkers, such as PD-1/PD-L1, LAG-3, TIGIT, and soluble CD14/CD163, offer promise for refining HCC risk stratification and improving early detection. Integrating these biomarkers into existing surveillance protocols could enhance screening efficacy, particularly in high-risk populations such as the elderly and immunocompromised. Current guidelines recommend biannual ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein testing for cirrhotic patients, but adherence remains suboptimal, and late diagnoses are common. A personalized approach combining clinical risk factors, immune markers, and patient demographics may improve surveillance outcomes. Future research should focus on validating immune biomarkers in large cohorts, exploring novel therapeutic targets like LAG-3 and TIGIT, and developing tools to quantify immune dysfunction for risk stratification. By addressing immune dysregulation as a critical factor in HCC development, this review highlights the potential for improved HCC screening adherence and early detection for better patient outcomes through immune-based strategies.
