Abstract. Normalization of bushes is one of the ways to increase the productivity and quality of the grape yield. Primarily the yield is regulated by pruning shoots during the dormant period, as well as by breaking off at the beginning of the growing season. The article presents the results of studies of the effect of the load of bushes with shoots and bunches of the Centennial Seedless variety on productivity indicators in subzone № 4 of the Central agroecological zone of viticulture of the Krasnodar region. The climate is temperate continental, the soils are represented by low-humus, leached powerful chernozems. Over two years of research on the effect of the load of bushes with shoots and bunches of the Centennial Seedless variety, variant with a high load of shoots and bunches (I) was distinguished by the lowest proportion of dead buds (20.2 %), the largest proportion of fertile shoots (68.4 %), a high fruitfulness coefficient k1 (0.97); variant with the average load of shoots and high load of bunches (IV) was distinguished by a high proportion of fertile shoots (62.4 %) and fruitfulness coefficients k1 (0.92) and k2 (1.48); variant with the low load of shoots and high load of bunches (IX) was distinguished by a fairly low proportion of dead buds (22.1 %) and high fruitfulness coefficients k1 (0.82) and k2 (1.53). In 2022, according to the large bunch weight, variant with the average load of bushes with shoots and bunches was stood out (910 g), variant IV was distinguished according to the high productivity of the shoot (785.2 g/shoot). Yield capacity over 20 t/ha were observed in variant I (26.66 t/ha) and variant IV (22.58 t/ha). In 2023, the highest average bunch weight was observed in the variant VII – 590 g, as well as the highest shoot productivity – 331.9 g/shoot, and yield capacity – 6.6 t/ha. The analysis of the qualitative indicators of grape berries revealed stable and optimal values for a variant with a high load of bushes with shoots and bunches (I). Without taking into account biotic stress, in 2022, a variant with an average load of bushes with shoots and bunches (V) stood out. On average, over two years, the most productive variants are with a high load of bushes with bunches (I, IV and VII). Keywords: normalization of bushes, fruitfulness coefficient, yield capacity, bunch weight, shoot productivity

To ensure future career readiness, students must develop a range of skills and capacities including technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, effective communication, social and professional network building, interpersonal and cultural awareness, resilience, and adaptability. The fluidity of careers also requires a greater emphasis on the development of metacognitive and reflective abilities so that graduates will have the capability, capacity, and confidence to use their personal resources appropriately and flexibly, regardless of environment. The research presented herein aimed to understand more about the employability skills viewed as important by four stakeholder groups - academics, students, graduates and industry - whilst also gauging perceived levels of attainment and confidence in those skills. The confidence and capability of academics to prepare Science students to be career ready was explored by conducting surveys and community-of-practice style workshops. The perspectives of industry employers, students, and graduates was sought via surveys, workshop and/or focus groups. In general, the ranking of the importance of employability skills was similar regardless of stakeholder group. Effective communication, effective management of time and working within a team were commonly deemed most important, while all groups ranked leadership skills and conflict resolution as of lesser importance. However, industry felt that ability to work independently, effectively communicate and time management skills were least likely to have been attained by Science graduates. This contrasted with most graduates indicating they were more confident in having attained these skills, and academics indicating they were more confident to teach these skills. A lack of career awareness was also identified, with many students changing their perspectives on career pathways after interactions with industry.

Published: October 2024

Cash waqf in Indonesia has great potential to improve community welfare. However, the realization is still not optimal. After previously OJK developed a cash waqf product integrated with sukuk (CWLS). Now OJK is reissuing a cash waqf product in collaboration with a deposit product or called cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD), as a deposit-based waqf innovation, offering a solution by integrating the social and commercial functions of sharia banking. However, there are no regulations governing cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD) itself, the implementation of CWLD can be different depending on the Islamic law adopted. In Islam there are four main schools of thought, each of which has a view on the concept of cash waqf and investment. Therefore, there is a need for studies related to CWLD analysis from an Islamic legal perspective. The research method used is library research. The source of data obtained is primary data sourced from books, journals, legal articles and other research results. The data collection technique in this research is by collecting literature that is relevant to this research. The results of the research obtained are that there is difference of opinion from four mazhab of thought regarding cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD). The Hanafi Mazhab and Maliki Mazhab allow it, while the Syafi’i Mazhab and Hanbali Mazhab do not allow cash waqf linked deposit (CWLD)

The reading practices of a Russian merchant in the second half of the 18th century
Authors: Kim Maksim Shisunovich
Published: October 2024

The aim of the research is to identify and reconstruct the reading practices in the second half of the 18th century. The article examines reading based on the annotations found in manuscript No. 1621 of the Pogodin Collection in the Manuscript Department of the Russian National Library, belonging to Maksim Ivanov, a merchant from Mosalsk. These reader annotations form the basis for analyzing and recreating the reading practices of a provincial merchant in the second half of the 18th century. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the methodology used has not been previously applied, and the problem of reading itself remains one of the least studied in Russian science. Moreover, the source of the research is the manuscript monument introduced into scientific use by the author of the article. The research has found that annotations were part of Maksim Ivanov’s reading practices, allowing him to return to selected texts, creating his own book navigation, expressing and recording his reactions, assessments, arguments, and conclusions. He also communicated not only with other readers of the book but also with himself.
The experience of using project-based assignments to form linguocultural competence in non-linguistic students during foreign language classes
Authors: Shemchuk Yuliya Mikhailovna
Published: October 2024

The study aims to describe the experience of using project-based assignments in forming linguocultural competence in non-linguistic students during foreign language classes. The study material consists of final project assignments at the end of sections in the textbook “Zeit für Deutsch” (“Time for German”) by S. A. Volina, G. B. Voronina, and L. M. Karpova. The scientific novelty of the study lies in describing the content and stages of project-based assignments aimed at forming linguocultural competence in non-linguistic students in German language classes, which corresponds with the goals of foreign language teaching in higher education institutions. The results of the study indicate a positive attitude of learners towards project-based assignments in the study of not only foreign languages but also the culture associated with the language. The following advantages of these assignments for learners should be highlighted: 1) application of previously learned vocabulary; 2) assimilation of new lexical units containing cultural semes; 3) motivation to seek new information related to cultural differences; 4) a creative approach to project implementation; 5) a playful nature of social interaction. The use of project-based assignments in foreign language teaching effectively forms linguocultural competence in non-linguistic students, which contributes to the adaptation of speech behavior to the cultural characteristics of the interlocutor, minimizing the likelihood of misunderstanding. This ensures successful and harmonious interaction in the process of cross-language communication.

The article proposes a conceptual-thematic classification of terminology in the subject area “Energy” and reveals its role in structuring and systematizing industry terminology. This approach is considered relevant in the context of identifying general principles for the formation and development of energy terminology. The aim of the research is to determine the specificity of a thematic stratification of energy terminology in English and Russian, based on the identification and description of the content and differential features of thematic groups. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the fact that, based on the findings, the foundations for a thematic stratification of energy terminological vocabulary have been revealed. In addition, the following thematic groups have been identified, characterized by equivalence in both languages under study: Energy Actors; Consumers; Energy Objects and Other Infrastructure Elements; Appliances and Equipment; Resources, Substances and Materials; Procedures and Technologies; Processes, Properties and Conditions; Implementation Mechanisms; Energy Information. The results are of significant theoretical value for the study of industry terminology, contributing to the expansion of knowledge within the investigated area of scientific and professional knowledge and activity.
Pejorative plurality in the Adyghe linguistic consciousness
Authors: Bizhoev Boris Chamalovich , Khezheva Maryana Rashadovna
Published: October 2024

The research aims to identify and reconstruct the main ways of pejorative plurality representation in the Adyghe linguistic consciousness. The research is novel in that it is the first one in Adyghe linguistics to explore and systematize ways of expressing pejorative and contemptuous plurality. The paper is dedicated to analyzing the main ways of conveying the semantics of pejorative plurality. The work examines affixal means of representing the semantics of pejorative quantity, investigates lexical and phraseological units with the semantics of disapproving plurality, and identifies constructions that represent the semantics of pejorative plurality in the Kabardian language. The research findings have shown that pejorative plurality is represented in the Adyghe linguistic consciousness by lexical, phraseological, paremiological, and word-formation means. Thus, the basic way of pejorative quantity representation in the Adyghe linguistic consciousness is to attach the plural suffix to phraseological and lexical units with a disapproving evaluative connotation. In addition, the research has revealed complex words, set expressions, and constructions with the semantics of disapproving countless plurality, derogatory indiscriminate counting.

Authors:   University of Scholars, Rashid Md. Mamunur
Published: October 2024

Sending down the iron for mankind, mentioned inverse 57:25 of Al-Qur’an, is one of the most significant blessings from Allah (SWT). Everything Allah (SWT) provided us, of course, for the needs, uses, and benefits of human beings. The mention of sending iron and its attributes (strong power and benefits for the people) in the Qur’an must have special significance, whether we comprehend it or not. The interpreters of Al-Qur’an explained the origin and the attributes of iron according to their contemporary pieces of knowledge. Modern scientific knowledge provides us the opportunity to uncover a better understanding of the origin of iron as well as its attributes. This research work aims to identify, explore, and demonstrate the findings regarding the origin and the attributes of iron mentioned in Al-Qur’an, through the study of modern scientific resources. All the required information & data, for this research, have been taken from the relevant and available online sources. The findings of this research demonstrate the superiority and uniqueness of iron compared to all available elements/materials. These findings may also give us a better understanding of mentioning “Iron” in the Holy Book of the Qur'an.

Authors:   University of Washington, Sabour Adel , Hendawi Abdeltawab ,   University of Rhode Island, Ali Mohamed ,   University of Washington
Published: October 2024

This research introduces a novel framework for analyzing Arabic linguistic styles, focusing on the Quran as a case study. Unlike previous studies that often focus on a single style or regional variations, ours examines the unique features of multiple styles within the single text. Our approach addresses inconsistencies in Arabic character representation. This creates a standardized format for analyzing the text, ensuring consistent results. This research utilizes a Provenance Tracker to connect different linguistic styles and document their lineage through narrators By analyzing a single text that showcases multiple styles, this study paves the way for identifying the unique characteristics of each linguistic style. Additionally, the research develops algorithms to map individual letters, words, and diacritics between each style. Moreover, this allows for in-depth linguistic analysis, revealing the unique characteristics that define each style. This opens new avenues for research into the Arabic language’s rich stylistic diversity.

Published: October 2024

The high demand for concrete production induced high consumption of freshwater, river sand, and cement. This had resulted in harmful issues for the environment such as a high carbon footprint, water shortage, greenhouse effect, and more. These negative impactions for environment had led to the use of rice husk ash (RHA) and coal bottom ash (CBA) as a replacement for cement and sand respectively. The main objective of this study is to investigate the concrete quality through the non-destructive test (NDT). Concrete with seawater, RHA, and CBA was tested on its surface and internal strength using rebound hammer test and ultrasonic pulse velocity test respectively. To achieve the objective, seven (7) series of mixtures were prepared. RHA is fixed to 10% of cement replacement by weight, while the volume of sand is replaced CBA by 10% increment up to 100%. All specimens are tested at 7 and 28 days. In addition, NDT’s result was later compared with compressive strength. The outcomes of this investigation shown that regression values (R2) more than 0.85 sufficiently indicate the relationship between the non-destructive test and compressive strength. As a result, the seawater concrete combining RHA and CBA produced by this study has a good quality and compressive strength. Hence, this study offered environmentally friendly materials, seawater, rice husk ash, and coal bottom ash are presented as eco-materials in concrete to partially replace conventional materials.

A shake and a surge: Assessing the possibility of an earthquake-triggered eruption at Steamboat Geyser
Authors: Reed Mara , Barth Anna , Taira Taka'aki , Farrell Jamie , Manga Michael
Published: October 2024

When and why earthquakes trigger volcano and geyser eruptions remains unclear. In September 2022, Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone, USA erupted 8.25 hours after a local M3.9 earthquake—an improbable coincidence based on the geyser’s eruption intervals. We leverage monitoring data from the surrounding geyser basin to determine if the earthquake triggered this eruption. We calculate a peak ground velocity of 1.2 cm s−1, which is the largest ground motion in the area since Steamboat reactivated in March 2018 and exceeds a threshold associated with past earthquake-triggered geyser eruptions in Yellowstone. Despite no changes in other surface hydrothermal activity, we found abrupt, short-lived shifts in ambient seismic noise amplitude and relative seismic velocity in narrow frequency bands related to the subsurface hydrothermal system. Our analysis indicates that Steamboat’s eruption was likely earthquake-triggered. The hours-long delay suggests that dynamic strains from seismic waves altered subsurface permeability and flow which enabled eruption.
Guidelines for Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Treatment in Children and Adolescents: Growth Hormone Deficiency, Idiopathic Short Stature, and Primary Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Deficiency
Authors: Zelinska Translated by N.B.
Published: October 2024

On behalf of the Drug and Therapeutics, and Ethics Committees of the Pediatric Endocrine Society, we sought to update the guidelines published in 2003 on the use of growth hormone (GH). Because idiopathic short stature (ISS) remains a controversial indication, and diagnostic challenges often blur the distinction between ISS, GH deficiency (GHD), and primary IGF-I deficiency (PIGFD), we focused on these three diagnoses, thereby adding recombinant IGF-I therapy to the GH guidelines for the first time. 
Methods. This guideline was developed following the GRADE approach (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). 
Results. This guideline provides recommendations for the clinical management of children and adolescents with growth failure from GHD, ISS, or PIGFD using the best available evidence. 
Conclusions. The taskforce suggests that the recommendations be applied in clinical practice with consideration of the evolving literature and the risks and benefits to each individual patient. In many instances, careful review highlights areas that need further research.

Abstract: In This paper we describe mental health care devices for children and adolescents, their families and expectant families that are developed from the field of public health, in the Metropolitan Health District of the Province of Neuquén (2008-2012). This characterization comes from a qualitative descriptive research in which the revision of existing health records and the use of surveys and interviews with the professionals involved were used as data collection instruments. The devices described this way become relevant under the concept of “good practices” in health from which they seek to systematize successful experiences that may be applicable and transferable to other realities. “Good practices” that, in this case, aim at accompanying key stages in the psychic structure of human beings having, therefore, a high preventive potential and a health promotion potential as regards mental health level.

The Ministry of Health, through a Program called “Remediar” and with the participation of 24 Schools of Medicine, is implementing a Training Program on Rational Therapeutics in Primary Health Care intended for doctors working in the fi rst level of care. In the Course on Absolute Cardiovascular Disease Risk (ACVDR), the use of WHO Guidelines for the Assessment of Risk adapted for Argentina is promoted. Objective: To present the results of a qualitative study enquiring professionals who attended the course, regarding the knowledge and use of the Guidelines. Material and Method: Semi-structured deep interviews to explore dimensions such as patient-doctor relationship, the approach to people with cardiovascular disease risk and the factors involved in the process of patient care. Population: Doctors who work in Health Centers in the provinces of Catamarca and La Rioja and took the course on ACVDR. Results: Interviews took place between September and December 2013. Twenty professionals from La Rioja took the course and thirty-one from Catamarca; fi ve interviews were conducted in each province. Professionals said that the training received had an impact on clinical practice and that the use of the Guidelines simplifi es and improves the treatment of patients with risk factors, giving them security and reducing variability in clinical practice. They also stated that the use of the Guidelines makes communication easier and helps the patients to get involved in their own treatment. Conclusions: The Course has motivated professionals to use the Guidelines in their daily clinical practice. However, different shades where observed regarding the use of this tool. Along these lines, the use of the Guidelines can be encouraged or hampered by factors beyond training, among which institutional factors stand out. It would be convenient to extend the study including professionals from other provinces.

Objective: To determine the immunization status of health professionals and technicians belonging to the health team from state hospitals of the province of Cordoba regarding Hepatitis B vaccine; Measles and Rubella vaccine; Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine (MMR); Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccine (DT); and influenza (flu) vaccine. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out on a sample of 844 workers from public hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Health of the province of Cordoba during the years 2013 and 2014. A self administered questionnaire was used and univariate analysis and bivariate analysis were done. For the assessment of factors associated with vaccination, chi square statistics was applied; a 5% margin of error was defined (p < 0.05) and a confidence interval of 95 %. Results: The proportion of professionals and technicians with coverage was: Diphtheria and Tetanus Vaccine (DT) 87.2%, Hepatitis B vaccine 77.6%, MMR vaccine or Measles and Rubella vaccine 69.0% and influenza vaccine 55.2%. Better immunization status was found among those with higher education, less seniority, and younger age with significant differences regarding sex in hepatitis B and less seniority in Measles and Rubella vaccine. Conclusion: The workers studied present an immunization status below the one internationally recommended. However, it is similar or higher to the level reported in different countries, showing that the under-coverage of health professionals is an outspread problem that must be prioritized by the authorities, given the implications for the workers themselves and the population they assist.

Vulnerability regarding food insecurity is understood as a situation in which there is a risk, motivated by economic, social or environmental conditions, that access to enough harmless food to satisfy eating needs may be reduced. We worked with deep interviews to 20 people belonging to different neighborhoods in the capital city of the province of Neuquén, Argentina. Existing statistics for the population under study were also reviewed. As a conclusion, the homes studied are considered vulnerable to food insecurity since most of the enumerated factors affect food security negatively and those with more encouraging characteristics do not have consolidated assets to face adversities without suffering important risks as regards the nutritional situation of each of their members.
