Published: July 2024

The present study aims to investigate the antioxidant and anti-constipation activities of the derived phenolic extracts in ribs wild cardoon (Cynara sylvestris). Analysed extracts (acetone, methanol and aqueous) exhibited high level of phenolic compounds and excellent antioxidant activities with significant IC50 values (p ≤0.05), as assessed by the DPPH radical-scavenging activity (0.84±0.08 - 2.44±0.007 μg/mL), ABTS cationic radical test (0.96 ±0.01- 136.67±6.75 μg/mL) and β-carotene bleaching assay (2.09±0.02-51.12±1.32 μg/mL). Also, higher levels of insoluble dietary fibers were found (56.18 ± 0.91% DW of neutral detergent fiber). The in vivo investigation was performed on Wistar rats to explore the ability of C. sylvestris aqueous extract (CSAE) in the enhancement of the gastrointestinal transit and the treatment of induced constipation by Loperamide (commercialized as Idium). A significant increase of 15, 24.5 and 32.4% in gastrointestinal motility was recordedwhen doses of CSAE increased (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg b.w, respectively). Food intake, water consumption, number and weight of stools were also increased in a dose-dependent manner, compared to the positive control (untreated). Moreover, CSAE provided significantly (p ≤0.05) and dose-dependently protection against oxidative stress by preserving normal antioxidant enzymes activities (SOD and GPx) in intestinal and colonic mucosa, and resorted hepatic enzymes (AST and ALT) and renal (urea and creatinine) levels to normal values. These results can be explained by the abundance of phenolic compounds and insoluble fibers in this plant. Therefore, its use can be encouraged in alimentary and pharmaceutical applications as antioxidant and laxative food supplements.

Purification of textile wastewater using biomass and in particular different fungi is gaining exponential interest to minimize the impacts of current physical-chemical and biological wastewater treatment by-products. This study investigates the potential of Malaysian Ganoderma lucidum mycelium pellets (GLMP) for the decontamination of wastewater samples received from a commercial textile manufacturer. All studies were performed under ambient temperature (26-35 ℃) and unsterilized conditions using a simple bioreactor design (stirred batch bioreactor) for a more practical assimilation of the current available wastewater treatment process system. The optimal conditions of adsorption by GLMP were determined by variation effects of adsorbent concentration (0, 8.75, 12.5 and 25 g/L), pH (unadjusted 7.10 – 8.22, 4 and 6), and wastewater dilution factor (1:0, 1:4, and 2:3, v/v). This method was proved to be effective in both decolorization and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction, simultaneously. The most significant percentage of decolorization observed was 77.24% in a 72 h treatment, whereas COD reductions were 78.32% in a 36 h treatment. The present study fits both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms as the values of R2 both model were close to 1, indicating the favorable adsorption of dyes towards Malaysian GLMP.

The paper proposes a new method and algorithm for creating a photo map of the seabed from photographs obtained from on-board photo and video systems of autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles during fulfillment of their various missions. This photo map is formed from photographs of the seabed by sequentially overlapping them. At the same time, data on the position of the underwater vehicle received from the on-board navigation system at the time of receipt of each photograph is used to position each photo image on the generated photo map. And to rotate and scale these photographic images, data on the orientation of the underwater vehicle in the global coordinate system and its height above the bottom, also obtained from the on-board navigation system, are used. To provide quick access to the photo map, it is proposed to store it on an on-board data storage device in the form of a tile map, widely used when creating interactive geographical maps, for example, Google Maps. However, the formation of a tile map is usually carried out on the basis of all the already received photographic images, as is done with satellite images, which cannot be applied on board underwater vehicles when data from the photo-video system is received sequentially. Therefore, a special algorithm has been developed and implemented that generates a tile map during the movement of the underwater vehicle and updates only the area of the tile map in which the photo is currently being taken. This minimizes the computational load and ensures the formation of a photo map of the bottom using standard on-board computing devices. The conducted semi-natural experiments with data obtained as a result of performing real missions using the MMT-3000 underwater vehicle confirmed the high efficiency of using the developed method and algorithm.

Authors: Quespaz-Sanchez Jonathan D. ,   Department of Informatics and Computer Science, Faculty of Systems Engineering, Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Quito, Ecuador
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to assess the accessibility of various Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) provider platforms on both national and international scales and compare their adherence to the World Wide Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0, as of the draft version released on June 8, 2021. The methodology involved the use of four automated tools for data collection and contrast: WAVE, LERA, ARC Toolkit, and A11Y. These automated processes were complemented by manual validation and the filtering of duplicated results. Furthermore, manual data collection was employed in instances where tools were insufficient, enhancing the comprehensiveness of the evaluation. Subsequently, a new quantitative scoring system was applied to the gathered data. The assessment focused on four critical activities: searching for a course, creating an account, enrolling in a course, and reviewing course content pages. These activities are deemed fundamental for accessing knowledge on the four platforms under scrutiny, encompassing two international providers (Coursera and edX) and two national platforms (CEC-EPN and MOOC UTPL). Results indicate that the international platforms chosen exhibit better accessibility than the national platforms. This comprehensive evaluation provides insights into the accessibility status of MOOC platforms and highlights areas for improvement in aligning with WCAG 3.0. The integration of automated evaluations with manual contributions proved essential for comprehensive results. Further research is necessary to advance web accessibility and ensure MOOCs positively impact education.

Authors: Shah Niki , Patel Vipul S. , Shaikh Anisa
Published: July 2024

Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is rupture of fetal membranes prior to labor in pregnancies between 28-37 weeks. PPROM is associated with significant maternal and neonatal morbidity or mortality. The present study was conducted to evaluate risk factor and etiology of PPROM and its fetomaternal effect in tertiary care hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, SMS Hospital, Ahemdabad. From August 2023 to February 2024.The study included 50 pregnant women between 28-37 weeks gestation with PPROM were subjected to detailed history and examination. Each patient was followed till her delivery and fetomaternal outcome was recorded.
Results: PPROM is a fair complication of pregnancy. 80% were belongs to 20-29 age, 70% were unbooked, 76% from low SE-class, 68% with gestational age of 34-36 weeks. Vaginal delivery was common 58%. The babies born to mothers with PPROM more in weight of 2-2.5 kg (48%). 34 had no risk factors to develop PPROM. Most common etiology for PPROM infection 16% and malpresentation 10%. Most of the mothers with PPROM had no complications. 17 (34%) babies required NICU admissions for complaints of premturity, respiratory distress, birth asphyxia, and sepsis. RDS was most common neonatal complication. 2 neonatal deaths in this study due to RDS and prematurity.
Conclusions: Effective PPROM Mx involves evaluating the risks and advantage of conservative Mx strategies. Whenever possible, Rx should be focused towards prophylactic use of antibiotics and steroids during pregnancy can reduce fetal and mother morbidity and mortality. Termination of pregnancy should be considered at the 1st sign of chorioamnionitis.

Published: July 2024

Researchers from a variety of disciplines are investigating the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as delivery vehicles for pharmaceutical solutions. In order to make the most of the therapeutic potential of EVs, various loading strategies have been devised. Despite the widespread application of exogenous methods, endogenous approaches are becoming increasingly preferred instead. Medicinal macro molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids can be loaded with relative ease using this technology that manipulates parental cells through genetic engineering. We examine the most effective ways for EV loading and demonstrate why endogenous is superior. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are able to transport pharmaceuticals, have the potential to tackle the problems of biologic therapeutic stability and off-target undesirable effects. In addition, we investigate the most recent findings and applications of this innovative method in order to shed light on the numerous potential therapeutic possibilities in the field of EV-based treatments. The possibility of endogenous loading of EVs with big biological medicines has been brought to light by recent research. In order to optimize the loading of biologic drugs in extracellular vesicles (EVs), researchers have been able to apply cargo selection and loading pathway molecules thanks to advancements in EV biogenesis. It has been established that endogenous EV loading is successful in preclinical in vivo trials, which demonstrates its promise in a variety of therapeutic situations.

Herbal liquid formulations are the preparation for oral health related issues like toothache, swelling, redness, bacterial or fungal infection in mouth, tooth decay, bleeding gums, weakened gums, etc. Such preparation also improves gums strength, removing bad breath and give fresh feel during good start of the day. Dentists generally use such preparations as antimicrobials before or after oral surgery to sanitize the surface of affected gums and teeth to avoid further contamination. Herbs like Tulsi, Clove, Mint, Ginger etc., are generally used either alone or in combination in herbal mouth-wash preparations which also render antibacterial activities. The other herbs like Eucalyptus and Liquorices have been reported to possess antibacterial, anti-oxidant, aromatic, anti- inflammatory and sweetening properties. In the present work, the research continues with formulation and evaluation of a herbal mouth rinse by using a combination of selected herbal extracts of Tulsi, Bael, Eucalyptus leaves and Liquorices rhizome for their antimicrobial activity against S. aureus using agar well diffusion plate technique. It was found that the formulated herbal mouth rinse or preparations gave satisfactory results in controlling the microorganism. Different physicochemical tests of prepared preparations were performed to figure out their pH, phase separation, homogeneity and scent.,

Published: July 2024

Introdução: Este estudo trata de Cuidados Paliativos (CP) e a importância do saber sobre ele entre os profissionais das Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI) atuantes nesse processo de final de vida, o qual visa não causar sofrimento ao paciente que se encontra em um estado bem debilitado e humanizar seu fim de vida. Método: Revisão integrativa utilizando de métodos descritivos, observacionais e classificando os artigos selecionados, em bases de dados como Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO). Resultados: A fim de obter cuidados paliativos qualificados, o que mais ressalta é uma otimizada coordenação entre profissionais, idosos e famílias, como também de comunicação. Além de bons financiamentos e intervenções de ensino sobre CP à equipe multidisciplinar atuante. Quando a autonomia do idoso é prejudicada ou há algo que o desampare ao ficar somente em sua casa ou com familiares, as ILPI são o caminho mais viável para esta pessoa. Como também, poucos conhecem sobre o que realmente são os CP de qualidade, como proceder com os idosos em ILPI que precisam de cuidados. Pois, comparando entre estudos, onde havia mais capacitação e coordenação de profissionais, mais haveria conforto de qualidade e humanidade nos CP. Conclusões: Tais cuidados ainda é um processo de muita vulnerabilidade para muitas ILPI em todo seu conjunto, diante de muitas dificuldades sensíveis desse cuidado. Mas, deixa-se claro que o treinamento constante dos profissionais, correto financiamento e bons métodos de coordenação de cuidado são imprescindíveis para o correto modo visto até agora.

Published: July 2024

To conduct a study of the quality of life of children who have suffered from multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS‐C) associated with SARSCoV‐2 in the post‐rehabilitation period against the background of correction of microecological imbalance.The study involved 49 children aged 2 to 12 years who underwent MIS‐C associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 and received treatment in a hospital (DGKB No. 3 in Novosibirsk), and then underwent rehabilitation on an outpatient basis. The duration of rehabilitation was 7–8 weeks. All children were prescribed a course of additional rehabilitation for 30 days in order to correct microecological imbalance, which included: Biovestin, a dietary supplement in liquid form, containing bifidobacteria of the Bifidobacterium longum MC‐42 strain; the official drug, Kudesan, (active ingredient Coenzyme Q10); and the official drug, Succinic Acid. The assessment of physical, social, educational, emotional and psychological functioning, as well as quality of life as an integrating indicator before and after a comprehensive rehabilitation course using the parental form of the Reds OL Generic Core Scales questionnaire (Russian version) was carried out.After the rehabilitation course, children who underwent MIS‐C associated with SARS‐CoV‐2 showed signs of dysfunction of various organs and systems, which may be the result of an imbalance in the microbial ecosystem and requires mandatory correction. The introduction of a probiotic product and drugs affecting metabolic processes into the rehabilitation course led to a decrease in inflammatory reactions, as well as normalisation of metabolic processes and increased oxygenation, which improved the condition of the children and their quality of life.Federal Research Center for Fundamental and Translational Medicine (FRC FTM), Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences

Published: July 2024

To identify the main types of hydroecological restriction on the use of water resources and their spatial patterns in the Ural and Tobol river basins within the steppe zone.A comprehensive assessment of the water‐environmental situation in the regions of the studied basins studied was carried out on the basis of the calculation of water‐environmental stress – the ratio of water intake and free flow (average long‐term flow minus ecological). To assess the environmental restrictions on water use, data from the State reports, “On the State and Protection of the Environment" were used. Exposure to the risk of flooding of settlements was analysed according to information from the registers of settlements at risk of flooding (flooding). Analysis of the dynamics of channel processes was carried out using Landsat satellite images. For the rivers of the Tobol River basin, an approach based on taking into account the nature of channel transformations in the sectors of the state border of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan was used.As a result of the research, the main types of hydroecological restriction in the transboundary basins of the Ural and Tobol were identified. In particular, the key factor limiting water use is the availability of a guaranteed volume and adequate quality of water resources. Hydrological restrictions associated with the negative impact of water include the risks of flooding of settlements during the passage of spring or summer floods, as well as intensive riverbed transformations (in the Ural River basin).The Ural and Tobol river basins (within the steppe zone) are characterised by the development of a rather complex hydroecological situation in some areas. Taking into account the long cycle of low water content in these rivers, the general hydroecological situation has aggravated in recent decades, the primary problem being that of guaranteed provision of water resources of standard quality. As a result, an urgent task is to develop an algorithm for a comprehensive assessment of hydroecological restrictions on water use and their consequences for the population and economy of the regions of the steppe zone.

The aim of this research is an analysis of the long‐term dynamics of the composition and number of migratory waterfowl in the southeast of the forest zone of Western Siberia.Visual observations of waterfowl migration were carried out in the format of daily 2‐hour morning counts in April‐May through a period 18 years (1998–2023) near the Tomsk on the Tom river. Additionally, in 2002–2003, simultaneous migration was also observed on the Ob river in the southern, central and northern parts of the Tomsk region. The method of E.I. Gavrilova and E.V. Kumari was used with some modifications. Birds were counted which were transit flying via the territory, as well as birds sitting on the lake water in the area of the observation point.Twenty‐one species of waterfowl have been registered. Analysis of long‐term dynamics has revealed a trend towards a decrease in the total number of migrating waterfowl. In the most abundant species, Anas acuta, this trend is statistically significant. In some species – Anas strepera and Cygnus Cygnus – the trend of dynamics is positive.Most likely reason for the decline in waterfowl numbers is excessive spring hunting. A reduced hunting duration or the introduction of a moratorium every few years may be among the responses required. We suggest using the period of mass migration to monitor the waterfowl resource. This period is shorter and when the greatest number of birds migrate.

The aim of the research is to study the parasitic invasion of small ruminants in the mountainous zone of Armenia during summer and autumn, in this case to determine the invasiveness of parasites of the digestive tract of sheep.The material was feces collected from sheep on pastures in the coastal zone of the Getik River during 2022. The work was carried out at the Scientific Centre of Zoology and Hydroecology, National Academy of Sciences, Republic of Armenia. The material researched also included mollusks and oribatid mites – intermediate hosts of biohelminths.As a result of the study of parasitic invasion of small ruminants in the mountain zone of Armenia, the taxonomic composition of parasites was determined. Helminths found in sheep belong to the classes Trematoda, Nematoda, and Cestoda, protozoa – to the class Protozoa.In the autumn season, representatives of seven genera of parasites of the gastrointestinal tract were found – Moniezia, Dicrocoelium, Fasciola, Nematodirus, Strongylus, Trichuris, Eimeria, while in the summer season, only representatives of five genera were found – Moniezia, Dicrocoelium, Nematodirus, Strongylus, Eimeria.As a result of these studies, it can be concluded that natural and climatic factors of the environment have a significant impact on the structure of the helminth complex of sheep in the mountain region of Armenia.All parasites found can have a detrimental effect on the sheep's body. However, the severity of the invasion in the samples taken is not at the level that could lead to serious diseases in sheep. This suggests that the treatment methods used on farms are at a fairly high level.

To determine the species composition of bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) in Belarus and to indicate their areas of distribution and hosts. To establish the taxonomic position of Belarusian specimens of Nycteribiidae.Own collection of bat flies, collected in 2019–2023 in Belarus. Species identification was carried out both by morphological characteristics and using molecular genetic methods.There species preferences on hosts of bat flies in Belarus:P. monocerosis found mainly onM. dasycneme, recorded in the northern part of the country;N. kolenatiiis widespread throughout Belarus, and recorded only on theM. daubentonii. Deviations of some morphological characteristics from the keys and descriptions of the species of theN. kolenatiiindividuals studied were revealed. The individuals presented in GenBank asN. kolenatiirepresent three different genetic lines. The Belarusian samples belong to the central haplotype KH1.Bat flies in Belarus were found on two species of bats:M. daubentoniiandM. dasycneme. The genetic heterogeneity of representatives ofN. kolenatiiand the detected variability of taxonomically significant morphological characters may indicate both incorrect species identification ofN. kolenatiisequences deposited in GenBank, as well as the presence of cryptic species among representatives of this group. The hidden genetic diversity and identified morphological features of species of the genus Nycteribia require further study, including taxonomic revision based on comprehensive morphological and genetic analysis.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this work was to assess the degree of genotoxic influence of the habitat on individuals of Russian sturgeon and sterlet raised in cage farming conditions in the Volga delta, using micronucleus and DNA comet tests.The blood of the individual Russian sturgeon and sterlet was shaved off during their lifetime. A comet DNA test was performed using the alkaline method. The number of erythrocytes with micronuclei was determined microscopically. To assess the physiological state of sturgeons, conventional hematological and biochemical methods were used.In the samples of fish blood smears studied, the average proportion of erythrocytes with micronuclei was 3.20 ± 1.24 ‰ in Russian sturgeon and 5.25 ± 1.18 ‰ in sterlet. The proportion of DNA in the comet tail in erythrocytes of Russian sturgeon was 3,99 %, and in sterlet 6, 48 %. The values of tail moment and Olivet moment were also lower in Russian sturgeon. Among sterlet erythrocytes, a more heterogeneous pattern of DNA damage can be noted. The length of the comet tail in starlet individuals turned out to be lower than in Russian sturgeon: apparently, larger fragments of these molecules were formed when the DNA of starlet erythrocytes was damaged. The physiological state of sterlet individuals can be characterised as normal, and that of the Russian sturgeon as satisfactory, due to the deviations identified in the values of some hematological and biochemical blood parameters.Having studied the influence of the environment on individual sturgeon kept in cage aquaculture conditions in the Volga delta using micronuclear and DNA comet tests, we can conclude that there was no acute genotoxic effect at the time of the study.
OS RELATOS TESTEMUNHAIS NA EUROPA E NA AMÉRICA LATINA: definições e funções
Authors: Calegari Lizandro Carlos , Haiski Vanderléia De Andrade
Published: July 2024

The protocene of testimony could already be found in ancient Greece, but this genre has become more and more important in modern times, during the XXth century, soon after the First World War, due to the accumulation of catastrophes verified in that period. With Jean Norton Cru’s works, shortly after the 1914-1918 war, the testimony gained relevance, due to the fact that the author conceived the event devoid of grandeur or grandiloquence, and due to the fact that the soldiers were marked by fragility, pain, and trauma. Cru conceived the testimony within a historical perspective. With the Nazifascism, the German communism, the socialist and the Hispanic-American dictatorships, the testimony began to be studied in its intersection with fiction. Because of so much barbarism and horror, fiction has been called upon to help to say what was considered unspeakable. Due to the singularities of the events, two major trends of testimony emerged: the Shoah and the testimonio. This presentation aims at recovering some thematic and formal particularities of testimony throughout history, emphasizing the Shoah and the testimonio, highlighting their similarities and differences, as well as presenting works which fit within these tendencies. Beatriz Sarlo, Dori Laub, Jean Norton Cru, Márcio Seligmann-Silva, Shoshana Felman, and Valéria de Marco are some of the authors who underscore the present approach.
A FORMAÇÃO EX-CÊNTRICA DE KAMBILI EM HIBISCO ROXO DE CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE
Authors: Azevedo Maria Tereza Costa de
Published: July 2024

Postmodern aesthetics can be understood by its significant deconstructive content and this is observed in the dilution of artistic and literary standards, especially when issues of race, class, gender, or even nation are highlighted. It is through the deconstruction of paradigms that this research is directed, by analyzing the work of the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie entitled Hibisco Roxo (2011) in which she narrates the formation process of the teenager Kambili and the shy resistance cultivated in the girl that in the end points out for their possible emancipation. In this way, we analyze how the process of formation and de-formation occurs in its trajectory, which in addition to deconstructing the standard formation of perfectibility propagated by the traditional literary model, the Bildungsroman (Formation Novel), subverts it to the ex-perspective -centric of a girl, Nigerian and suffering from the sad legacies of colonialism and patriarchy. To do this, we will base ourselves on studies on the Bildungsroman and the chronotopic change undergone by the literary genre in the works of Bakhtin (1992), Cristina Ferreira Pinto (1990) and Wilma Patrícia Maas (2000); on the concept of eccentricity we are guided by the studies of literary critic Linda Hutcheon (1988) and on Emancipation we draw on discussions present in Kant (1783) and Adorno (1995).
LITERATURA GAY E A ABORDAGEM DOS ESTUDOS CULTURAIS
Authors: Oliveira Rubenil Da Silva
Published: July 2024

This Communication intends to analyze literature through the approach of cultural studies as a current of literature criticism. In this sense, it is considered pertinent to discuss that the concept of culture implies thinking beyond the product created by a minority, since exercising cultural criticism implies understanding how a given society works (CEVASCO, 2005). On the other hand, defenders of other currents of literary criticism accuse it of being militant, of having no method, however, they are wrong when they say there is no method, as we can draw up a panel of cartographies for this and thus have a method, a path to study of gay literature, for example. To this end, the research carried out followed a qualitative approach and a bibliographical type, as it involves an investigation carried out by consulting books and periodicals, both printed and available on the internet in digital libraries and blogs. Among the authors read Cevasco (2005), Matterlat and Neveu (2006), Bhabha (2014), Silva (2010), Hall (2014) and others. Therefore, literary critics who accuse cultural studies scholars need to step back and realize that as societies change and new historical realities are constructed, gays move from invisibility to social visibility, as does the literature that deals with them.
A RESISTÊNCIA NA CONTÍSTICA DE MARIA LUCIA MEDEIROS
Authors: Lacerda Ana Júlia Chaves de , Sarmento-Pantoja Augusto
Published: July 2024

The present work aims to investigate the resistance processes contained in Maria Lucia Medeiros's short stories. In my aesthetic project there is a strong content of social criticism accompanied by narratives that raise situations of surveillance and control, violence, punishments and, of course, resistance. The aim is to assess and map how power relations are established and which devices and technologies are used to control bodies in Medeiros' stories. For this investigation we chose three short stories, among them Quarto de Hora (1994), Velas. Por quem? (1990) and Chuvas e Trovoadas (2003). As a theoretical basis we will use the works of authors such as Michel Foucault (1985, 1988, 2005, 2010) and Giorgio Agamben (2007) who investigate power, devices, resistance, etc. We understand such concepts by these authors where power works in a network and is in all areas of life. Likewise, devices that are technologies of power that aim to respond to an emergency, therefore have a strategic purpose of controlling and ensuring the gestures, conduct, opinions and speeches of living beings. Power works like a web that binds everyone, but as soon as there is a power relationship, there is a possibility of resistance. In effect, we will investigate the devices, power relations and resistance to them.

Prospects of Unification of the Procedural Form of Resolution of the Issue of Recovery of the Procedural Term in Civil and Administrative Proceedings
Authors: Plotnikov Dmitriy A. ,   Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the Vyatka State University
Published: July 2024

One of the trends in the development of the civil process in recent years is the legislator's attempt to unify the same type of procedural institutions in the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the CAS of the Russian Federation and the APC of the Russian Federation. Among the issues that were beyond the attention of the legislator, one can name the definition of the optimal civil procedural form for considering the issue of restoring procedural terms. Currently, within the framework of civil proceedings, it is envisaged to resolve this issue through a court session, and in administrative proceedings, on the contrary, without a court session. In the article, based on an analysis of civil and administrative proceedings in the post- Soviet space, judicial practice, the author argues in favor of establishing a unified procedure for restoring procedural terms in the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation and the CAS of the Russian Federation — through a court session.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to generate correlational-predictive knowledge for active participation in voluntary sports of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic Primary School) students in Indonesia. This secondary study utilizes one of the newest collections of big data at the Center for Physical Literacy and Sports Education Studies, Postgraduate School of IKIP Budi Utomo. Of the 6,576 respondents to the sports culture survey for Indonesian students, 335 of them were Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students. From the proposed causal model, personal awareness, group norms, social support, and active participation in voluntary sports were selected for further analysis. The path analysis strategy found that the direct contribution of personal awareness to active sports participation was insignificant (0.020). The contribution of personal awareness indirectly, through social support (0.022), with a significant total effect (0.042). The findings of this study support the proposition about the importance of group norms and social support in improving voluntary sports for madrasah students.
