Authors: Güler Duran
Published: August 2024

This study aims to determine the similarities and differences between Türkiye and European Union countries in terms of beekeeping and classify similar countries. The main materials of the study consist of the number of beekeepers, the amount of honey produced, and the trade balance values of European Union countries and Türkiye. In this study, multidimensional scaling analysis and cluster analysis were conducted to reveal the similarities and differences between Türkiye and European Union countries regarding beekeeping. The analysis results indicate that Spain and Romania are the most similar countries and Türkiye and Germany significantly differ from other European Union countries regarding beekeeping. Specifically, Türkiye was differentiated from other countries by its high honey production amount. The key characteristics that differentiated Germany from other countries were the number of beekeepers and a high trade deficit. In order to compete effectively with European Union countries in beekeeping, Türkiye should prioritize policies that encourage the export of honey in small, branded packaging.

Authors: Leksono Bayu Pratama , Zuraida Ana , Ni’mah Gusti Khairun
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of farmers toward agricultural insurance programs and to explain the reasons for their participation or non-participation in these programs. Both primary and secondary data were used as sources of information. A total of 40 farmers were selected using stratified random sampling. The results revealed that program participants had a neutral attitude towards the Manarap Baru Village Rice Farmer Insurance Program (AUTP), with an index of 3.18. At the same time, non-participants tended to disagree, with an index of 2.54. The main reasons for farmers not participating in the AUTP program varied, with some citing a lack of understanding about the program despite efforts by the insurance company to provide direct counseling. Conversely, the reasons for farmers joining AUTP included various advantages, such as financial protection against the risk of crop failure, reduced loss risk, and an easy claims process in case of loss.

Published: August 2024

The incidence of breast cancer in Indonesia is steadily rising. Women have the highest incidence of breast cancer. Acetogenins are highly effective inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I or NADH dehydrogenase, making them a promising option for therapeutic creation against breast cancer. The plant known as Annona muricata, also referred to as the soursop leaf plant, is purported to possess the ability to suppress the activity of breast cancer. Hence, it is imperative to assess the chemical composition of soursop leaves on receptors by docking experiments. Research utilizing the active site on the alpha estrogen receptor has determined that the reticulin molecule, with a free energy of -8.14 kcal/mol, is a potential contender for breast cancer therapeutic medications. Reticulin exhibits the highest affinity for binding to the active site of estrogen receptor alpha. This chemical exhibits the capacity to impede the growth of breast cancer.

Структура емоційної культури майбутнього вчителя початкових класів в умовах надзвичайних ситуацій
Authors: Тертична Таїсія
Published: August 2024

The article defines the category «emotional culture of the future primary school teacher in emergency situations» as the teacher's perceived readiness to implement emotional competencies necessary for the constructive solution of professional tasks in the complex conditions of today. A theoretical analysis of the scientific literature was carried out, and on its basis two aspects were distinguished in the structure of the emotional culture of the future primary school teacher in emergency situations ‒ intrapersonal (understanding one's own emotions and managing them) and interpersonal (understanding the emotions of other participants in the educational process and managing them), as well as psychological, pedagogical and cultural components are defined. It was established that the emotional culture of the future primary school teacher in emergency situations presupposes his motivation for effective professional activity, a system of relevant knowledge and skills, therefore the criteria for evaluating the level of its formation are determined: motivational-value, emotional-cognitive, reflective-active. It was concluded that a high level of emotional culture formation is one of the indicators of future teachers' readiness to effectively perform professional tasks in emergency situations. The teacher needs to know the potential risks from emergency situations, to be able to predict and recognize dangers, and if possible, to avoid or at least minimize their negative impact on the participants of the educational process thanks to a developed emotional culture
The Becoming-Greek Tragedy of Julian Barnes's Love, etc
Authors: Jiang Ying
Published: August 2024

Deleuze and Guattari's becoming is a dynamic alliance with beings. It is not a monad but creative involution. The incorporeal becoming deterritorialises the beings and roams nomadically between them. It has no subject or object, nor does it have centre or periphery; it is a becoming-in-itself. This article analyses the differences between Nietzsche's becoming and that of Deleuze and Guattari. It also summarises the three attributes of a becoming, which is solipsistic, revolutionary and always in-between. Julian Barnes's novel Love, etc exclusively utilises monologues as the narrative device which, along with its minimal personae, penetrating conflict and unsettling ending, prompts a becoming-Greek tragedy similar to Antigone. The becoming-Greek tragedy is not a simple average of the two beings; rather, it is a heterogeneous, molecular interbeing.
Alterity and Tragicality in Shakespeare and Fitzgerald
Authors: Bidgoli Mehrdad , Ladani Zahra Jannessari
Published: August 2024

This article attempts to trace the themes of alterity and tragicality in Shakespeare's Macbeth and Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. We offer a parallel study of the two works with an emphasis on the (anti)heroes’ struggles with time and the other human as metaphors of ‘alterity’. We present a thematic reading and argue that as Macbeth is preoccupied with his imaginatively fabricated future (time) and tries to execute anyone (the other) who jeopardises the totality of that ideal space, Gatsby is also preoccupied with his past (time) and tries to retrieve Daisy (the other). Tragedy, we discuss, is basically the ultimate result of these struggles. We suggest that Fitzgerald's work generally shares the similar theme of alterity with Shakespeare's Macbeth and somehow modernises the similar tragicality we witness in the latter.
Re/visiting

Published: August 2024

It is an honor to receive an invitation from Tawny Andersen and Dena Davida to republish the curatorial essay for our exhibition-event, CounterPoses: Reimagining Tableaux Vivants, that was presented by the gallery Oboro in Montreal in 1998. The opportunity to revisit the project and share it with a larger audience reignites the joy, generosity, and openness we experienced within the Montreal art community. During those years, we were engaged in interdisciplinary graduate studies that illuminated our interests in sensory aesthetics, affect theory, and experiential art, while our editorial positions at Parachute magazine located us at the nexus of the critical art apparatus, where we sought to expand upon art-historical discourse by nurturing writers working in cultural studies, media studies, and performance studies. Now full-time academics, we continue to be involved in these fields of inquiry as founding editors of the Journal of Curatorial Studies, as well as through independent curatorial projects.1
The Slowness of Sandkind
Authors: Friis Joachim Aagaard
Published: August 2024

In this article, I examine the potentials and challenges of curating performance art inside an exhibition space for raising environmental awareness. I begin by offering a short history of environmental performance art. While early works were inspired by social ecology, more recent works are better elucidated by Greg Garrard's notion of “deep ecology” and theories of the Anthropocene. I then move on to my case study: the performance SANDKIND by Danish artist Tora Balslev that I curated at Agder Art Center in Kristiansand, Norway. I combine Jean-Paul Martinon and Irit Rogoff's concept of “the curatorial” with Brad Haseman's performative methodology for practice-led research to develop my method of inquiry. I argue that the caring slowness of SANDKIND was its key feature, and that the meditative state that the slowness induced in the performer and audience created a heightened awareness of the other-than-human material of sand, thereby transforming the exhibition space into a multifaceted zone for more-than-human engagement.
Klimata
Authors: Lehrner Gwendolin
Published: August 2024

This article explores the notion of “curatorial research” within the realm of the live arts through the case study of the perfor mance exhibition Klimata (2019) curated by Léna Szirmay-Kalos, Dániel Kovács, and Jasna Layes Vinovršky, at the Berliner Flutgraben. In the article, I accentuate the transdisciplinarity of the project, which constitutes a paradigmatic example of curatorial research in exhibition settings. I argue that the project underscores the transformative potential of integrating the live arts with time-based media, or installation art, while foregrounding the embodied knowledge of the vulnerable body. Additionally, these forms are combined with non-art/scientific forms, enriching the transdisciplinary dialogue and expanding the boundaries of curatorial knowledge production. This investigation contributes to the progress of curatorial studies by providing insights into the dynamic intersection between curation and research.

Museum artifacts can be imagined as “vibrant matter” (Bennett 2010).1 Indeed, it could be argued that one function of museums and exhibitions may well be to create circumstances that let us experience material objects as inspiring, vital, and “vibrant”—a term that incidentally links all matter to those vibrations of air molecules that we call “sound.” But what is it that makes objects vibrant?

Aggressive giant dumbell-shaped thoracic vertebral hemangioma: illustrative case
Authors: Gionso Matteo , Baram Ali , De Robertis Mario , Tomei Massimo , Ajello Daniele , Cariboni Umberto , Pessina Federico , Fornari Maurizio , Capo Gabriele
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Vertebral hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the spine, diagnosed incidentally in most cases. In 0.4% of patients, the lesion is considered aggressive, causing neurological deficits. This subtype of hemangioma is characterized by strong postcontrast enhancement, cortical lysis, and epidural extension causing myelopathy and/or radiculopathy.

OBSERVATIONS

A 52-year-old man presented with myelopathy symptoms, namely lower-limb hypoesthesia up to the T4–5 sensory level, right leg hyposthenia, and urinary incontinence. Imaging studies revealed a giant dumbbell-shaped lesion causing spinal cord compression, associated with signal alteration of the T3 vertebral body. The diagnosis of schwannoma was not certain given the radiological features, so a biopsy was planned and confirmed the diagnosis of vertebral hemangioma. Preoperative embolization, spinal fusion, and gross-total resection of the extravertebral component of the lesion were performed.

LESSONS

This report should raise awareness of the differential diagnosis of dumbbell-shaped spinal tumors and the therapeutic strategies available for aggressive vertebral hemangiomas, a rare lesion that should be managed in a multidisciplinary setting.

Cape gooseberry is a fruit that contains various active compounds such as vitamins A, B, and C, proteins, minerals, tocopherols, and carotenoids, among others, which provide health benefits. The objective of this research was to experimentally optimize a colloidal system formulation based on cape gooseberry, gum arabic (GA), and maltodextrin (MD) (SCU+GA+MD) with the purpose of being subsequently used in a spray-drying micro-encapsulation process to protect and preserve its active components. A shear homogenizer colloid mill type was employed for the colloidal system preparation. The formulation design was conducted using a face-centered central composite design (α = 1), considering the independent variables: GA (1.0-3.0%) and MD (9.5-13.5%), and the dependent variables: total solids (TS), viscosity (μ), zeta potential (ζ), particle size (D[4,3]), total phenols (TF), and antioxidant capacity (DPPH and ABTS assays). The optimal formulation was achieved with MD: 12.3% and GA: 3.0%, where the dependent variables were: TS: 32.2±0.1%, μ: 581.0±7.8 cP, ζ: -22.6±0.6 mV, D[4,3]: 77.9±2.0 µm, TF: 97.2±1.1 mg GAE 100 g-1, DPPH: 12.6±1.4 mg TE 100 g-1, ABTS: 13.5±0.6 mg TE 100 g-1. Experimental validation of the shear homogenization process for an integral colloidal system of cape gooseberry confirmed its physicochemical stability with significant solid content, rendering it suitable for spray-drying micro-encapsulation processes.

INVESTIGATING STUDENTS’ ONLINE CRITICAL READING SKILL: A STUDY IN AN EFL CONTEXT
Authors: Kurniati Nur Utami Sari'at
Published: August 2024

The digital lifestyle requires students to read any online discourse more critically. The paper presents the result of a study in which 42 EFL learners are asked to demonstrate their critical reading skills through answers to the questionnaire and test. Both instruments are adapted from Cottrell's (2011). The participants are intermediate EFL learners in Indonesia. They are 19-20 years of age, male and female. All of them enroll the Discourse Analysis course. The result reveals that most of them have a positive attitude and give a positive response to some key questions under the critical thinking skills. They show the ability to identify unfair techniques used in a text and are good at reading between and beyond the lines. They do further research when they are hesitant about something they read and know how to evaluate source material. With some refinements and piloting, future research might be done on other language skills.

Published: August 2024

Journalistic text plays an important role in information transfer such as the latest events, issues, or problems from parts of the world. With the rapid development of digital platforms, journalistic can be accessed easily through the internet, which arouses the need for translation as a means to bridge understanding between languages. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate students’ strategies and errors in journalistic text translation. By referring to translation strategies adapted from Newmark (1988), Hoed (2006), Baker (2011), the target text was analyzed based on several strategies including transference, calque, naturalization, accepted translation, paraphrase, modulation, transposition, cultural equivalence, addition, omission, and explication. Based on the translation quality assessment model adapted from Nababan et al. (2012), the translations made by the students have decent quality for accuracy and a medium level of competence in producing acceptable translations. However, the translation products have a high degree of readability which means they are easy to understand. Based on the classification proposed by Sukur et al. (2020), the finding shows that the errors made by the students in translating journalistic texts include a lack of cultural background knowledge, situation concordance, use of unsuitable words to the context, and failure to understand speech act. With some suggestions to overcome those challenges, this study is expected to provide pedagogical insight for translation courses regarding the practice of journalistic translation.
PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHERS’ TRANSLANGUAGING PRACTICES
Authors: Riyanti Dwi
Published: August 2024

Translanguaging in which more than one language is allowed to be used in the classroom is currently a trending issue that has been widely claimed to be helping students to foster foreign language learning, including learning English as a foreign language. While research on translanguaging within the EFL settings has been abundant, only a few studies are within the Indonesian context. Thus, it is crucial to investigate how translanguaging is employed within a high school context in Indonesia.  Employing a qualitative case study, the study involved four pre-service English teachers who had a teaching practicum at a senior high school. The data were gathered from observing the recorded videos of participants’ teaching practicum teaching practicum as the participants while having a teaching practicum, interviewing them as a follow up of the observation, and open-ended questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed thematically based on emerging themes. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers translanguage as they teach their students for various reasons, suggesting that translanguaging is important to enhance students' comprehension and to create a less stressful classroom atmosphere.

The objective of this article is to provide a bibliographic survey on the relationship between COVID-19 and stroke through a systematic review conducted in national and international journals without temporal delimitation, using articles indexed in multidisciplinary and health databases. The databases investigated were: BVS, PubMed, ERIC, SciELO, Web of Science, and Sociological Abstracts. Among the studies found, 37 articles were selected. Some of these were then used to produce the "literature review" section. Since stroke and COVID-19 can present similar symptoms, diagnosing stroke can be more challenging in some cases, highlighting the need for further research on the subject. The studies show a relationship between the severity of the condition and the occurrence of vascular events, with a higher incidence observed in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs). Additionally, it is important to mention the significance of d-dimer levels in the patient, as it is a factor with high predictive value for thrombotic events. The challenges in improving diagnosis and treatment are primarily due to the difficulty in understanding the pathophysiology, triggering events, and research on the topic.
Identification of cattle fertility haplotypes

Published: August 2024

Abstract. An analysis of the reproduction rates of modern Holstein cattle populations has shown that one of the key factors influencing the decline in the reproductive qualities of cows are genetic factors. In recent decades, a large amount of data has accumulated on the presence in the genome of recessive mutations in the DNA sequence, which in the homozygous state reduce the reproductive functions of animals, causing embryonic mortality. The use of a limited number of outstanding sire bulls for artificial insemination has reduced the original genetic diversity. In this regard, the identification and determination of fertility haplotypes in populations has recently become an integral part of breeding work with cattle. Genotyping of 584 heads of Holstein cattle from 2 farms in the Sverdlovsk region was carried out in order to identify heterozygous carriers of anomalies: HH0 (FANCI), HH1 (APAF1), HH3 (SMC2), HH4 (GART), HH5 (TFB1M), HH6 (SDE2), HH7 (CENPU), HHB (ITGB2, BLAD), HHC (SLC35A3, CVM), RABGGTB, RNF20 and TTF1. The scientific novelty lies in determining the frequency of occurrence of fertility haplotypes that have not previously been studied in the Sverdlovsk region. The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency of occurrence of fertility haplotypes of Holstein cattle in populations of the Sverdlovsk region. Research methods. To diagnose mutations, we used test systems developed in the Laboratory of Molecular Basis of Breeding, Department of Biotechnology and Molecular Diagnostics of Animals, L. K. Ernst Federal Research Center. Results. The number of fertility haplotypes in the studied herds differed not only in the frequency of occurrence of the defect, but also in the number of types of detected haplotypes. In the population of “Kamenskoye” JSC, the largest number of animals were carriers of fertility haplotypes HH4 and HH3 with a carriage frequency of 1.891 and 1.412 %, respectively; the educational and experimental farm identified the largest number of haplotypes HH3 and HH6 with a carriage frequency of 4.082 %.
Viral Hepatitis During Pregnancy
Authors: Trivedi Subhashini , Mishra Prakash Chandra
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the implications of viral hepatitis on pregnancy outcomes, conducted over one year at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Rewa, involving 60 pregnant women diagnosed with Hepatitis types A, B, C, D, and E. The research primarily focused on assessing the risks associated with gestational diabetes, preterm labor, cesarean sections, and vertical transmission rates. Results indicate significant associations between viral hepatitis, particularly types B and C, with increased risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes and notable rates of vertical transmission. These findings highlight the necessity of integrated care approaches, including early screening, careful monitoring, and the use of antiviral therapy where appropriate, to improve health outcomes for both mothers and their infants. Despite limitations such as the small sample size and single-center setting, this study contributes crucial insights into the management of viral hepatitis during pregnancy and underscores the need for broader research to validate and expand upon these results.

Ці системи, засновані на використанні відновлюваних джерел енергії, сприяють енергетичній незалежності, знижують викиди парникових газів і сприяють економічному розвитку регіонів через створення нових робочих місць та скорочення залежності від імпортованих енергоресурсів. У статті аналізуються шість ключових бізнес-моделей, які можуть підтримати розвиток децентралізованої генерації електроенергії: енергетичні кооперативи, модель "Pay-as-you-go" (PAYG), оренда обладнання, енергетичні послуги (ESCO), колективне фінансування та публічно-приватні партнерства (PPP). Кожна з цих моделей має свої особливості, переваги та недоліки, що дозволяє вибрати оптимальні варіанти залежно від специфіки потреб та умов.

Published: August 2024

The article examines the essence and types of selective risks of bank depositors and their features in the conditions of martial state. The main types of selective risks of bank depositors are characterized. The expediency of improving the determination of the rating of banks when determining the risk of incorrect bank selection is substantiated. An approach to improving the determination of the rating of financial stability of banks by normalizing financial indicators taking into account their normative values is proposed. It has been established that an important factor in the depositor's determination of the bank's reliability in nowadays conditions is the level of its technologies. The essence of the risk of incorrect choice of the deposit currency by the depositor is determined and a method of its assessment based on the application of Value at Risk measurement technology is proposed. It has been established that the main source of risk of incorrect choice of deposit currency by the depositor is the level of devaluation or revaluation of the national currency during the deposit period. The expediency of using Value at Risk technology to assess this risk is substantiated. It has been established that in the conditions of martial state and increased turbulence of the foreign exchange market, it is advisable to assess the risk of incorrect choice of the deposit currency taking into account both the volatility and the trends in the exchange rates. The essence of the risk of the wrong choice of the term of the deposit is determined and the complexity of its assessment in the conditions of martial state is substantiated. Attention is focused on the importance of effectively managing the risk of the wrong choice of the type of deposit in the conditions of martial state by forming a so-called financial security cushion in the form of placing a certain amount of funds on demand deposits or time deposits with the right of early withdrawal. The necessity of developing a strategy for forming the optimal portfolio of a bank depositor in the conditions of martial state is substantiated, which can become the subject of further scientific researches.

Ecological and evolutionary processes are recognized as the main factors generating and maintaining biodiversity. However, how biodiversity knowledge is collated, organized, and distributed worldwide influences our perceptions and inferences about biodiversity and the underlying processes. We demonstrated that name-bearing type specimens (NBT), the most fundamental reference for the identity of any species, of all freshwater and brackish fish species in the world are mostly housed in museums in Global North countries. The unequal distribution of NBT results from historical and socioeconomic factors and has implications for both the Global North and South countries. For the Global North, which concentrates most of NBT, we found a mismatch between NBT housed in their ichthyological collections and their native biotas. On the other hand, countries with most NBT of their native species housed elsewhere face a barrier in advancing biodiversity research due to the difficulty in accessing reference material, hampering global efforts in cataloging, reviewing, and describing new species. We advocate that if we are truly committed to advancing biodiversity research, we should pursue global initiatives to make the distribution of biological knowledge fairer among countries, which involves programs for specimen repatriation and facilitation of accessibility of NBT material to researchers from the countries in which they were collected.

Authors:   SSI ", Zaiets Svitlana ,   Institute of Education Content Modernization"
Published: August 2024

The article analyses world practices in assessing academic freedom as a set of the following elements: freedom of teaching, freedom of research, freedom of learning, free and unrestricted dissemination of knowledge and research results, institutional autonomy, employment security and financial security. It has been established that in some countries the concept of academic freedom is enshrined in the constitutions of the countries. Educational legislation in most of countries provides a predominantly declarative description of the concept of "academic freedom". Academic freedom has been shown to be under threat around the world. Methods and tools for assessing academic freedom include surveys of participants in the educational process, comparative analysis of the regulatory environment, receipt of reports of violations in the "Scholars at Risk" project, calculation of the European University Association's autonomy "Scorecard", determination of the Academic Freedom Index by the V-Dem project etc. The dynamics of the Academic Freedom Index are analysed based on data set indicators in 2023. Conclusions are drawn about the decline in the level of academic freedom in certain countries of the world and in Ukraine, and the need to measure its extent and the volume of violations in the field of higher education is substantiated. The results of the systematisation and analysis of the main approaches to assessing academic freedom are presented, their advantages, disadvantages, reliability, integrity, comparability, and frequency of data collection are specified. The requirements for the methodology for effective measurement of academic freedom are defined: complexity, systematicity, integration, flexibility, validity, adequacy, independence, and formability as the basis for development projects. The need to develop a domestic methodology for assessing academic freedom as a key criterion of academic reputation and quality of higher education institutions is emphasised.

Department LC (DLC) is a work unit of PT. GREAT INTEGRATED. DLC functions as an employee training and development facilitator at PT. GREAT INTEGRATED. in DLC there is less than optimal output and there are consumer complaints regarding the quality of the implementation of the training program in the form of conveying information on less than optimal training implementation schedules. Employees also express complaints when working with a team, even when working deadlines. These complaints: the appearance of anxiety, dizziness, and lack of comfort when working in a team. The results of the open system diagnostic method found that the complaint was caused by conflict in interaction between teams, which was caused by limited non-formal communication, such a situation resulted in the intensity of direct interaction between team members being less than optimal. This form of communication causes misunderstanding, the misunderstanding is not because the team is unable to express opinions, so further forms of intervention for DLC are a function of the team itself, because the cohesiveness of the DLC team is not optimal and it is necessary to carry out team building activities to increase team cohesiveness.
