Authors: (Qiaowei) Cai Rebecca
Published: January 2024

Menstrual poverty, a profound public health issue wherein females grapple with obstacles in acquiring menstrual materials, sanitation amenities, and pertinent instruction, has become a global concern. Particularly in regions of resource scarcity and nations with lower income, this predicament gravely impacts women’s quotidian lives, economic status, and psychosocial health. The present study delves into the impact and potential of public health policies in addressing menstrual poverty, underscoring the necessity of comprehensive menstrual health education, provision of free or affordable sanitary products, and consideration of specific environments and diverse population requirements in this process. While external influences, such as economic crises and public health incidents, may affect menstrual poverty, this paper delineates, via literature review, the pivotal role public health policies play in ameliorating menstrual poverty. Such policies not only facilitate the elevation of women’s mental health and social equity but also offer tangible strategies, like infrastructure enhancement, especially in resource-deprived locales. Nonetheless, the study also highlights several constraints and challenges, including cultural and societal impediments, fiscal restrictions, and others necessitating more in-depth exploration and solutions in future research and policy formulation. On balance, this investigation offers fresh perspectives and evidence for public health policy development, significantly aiding in the amelioration of menstrual poverty in low-income countries, thus yielding beneficial insights for promoting menstrual equity and enhancing the welfare of all individuals experiencing menstruation.

Authors: Abiodun Obaromi Davies , Olorunfemi Adams Samuel
Published: January 2024

Introduction: To account for over-dispersion in the impact of population density, number of schools, and average household size on tuberculosis prevalence in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province, this study compared robust count regression models with a Poisson regression model. Methods: The prevalence of tuberculosis in the province of Eastern Cape in South Africa in 2022 served as the basis for this study’s data. Various models, including the Poisson regression model; Summed up Poisson and Negative Binomial Relapse were used within the sight of over-scattering. Results: It was seen that Poisson Relapse models couldn’t deal with over-scattering present in the South Africa’s Eastern Cape Region Tuberculosis dataset. Modeling with Negative Binomial Regression (NBR) and Generalized Binomial Regression (GBR) was used to solve the over-dispersion issue because both approaches can accommodate the dispersion parameter. Based on both selection criteria, the Negative Binomial model performed slightly better than the Generalized Poisson model. The findings indicated that population density has a positive and significant impact on tuberculosis prevalence in South Africa, that the number of schools in the province has a negative but significant impact, and that the average household has no significant impact. Conclusions: The Eastern Cape Province of South Africa’s government ought to intensify its efforts to combat the spread and prevalence of tuberculosis by identifying, isolating, and treating tuberculosis early in the population and in schools.

Authors: Paul Chima , Agebe Ojobo James , Malachy Joseph
Published: January 2024

The study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown policy on the welfare of workers in the formal and informal sectors in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja, Nigeria, during the COVID-19 period using health and education services as case study. The study was motivated by the fact that the outbreak had a negative influence on both formal and informal workers’ well-being; nonetheless, concluding that the lockdown had an equivalent impact on both formal and informal sector workers in Gwagwalada Area Council without an empirical investigation may not have been reasonable enough. Thus, the need for this study to make a comparative analysis between formal and informal sector workers. For empirical purpose, independent two-sample t-test were used to compare perceptions of the two sectors regarding the effects of daily COVID-19 cases and the attendant lockdown stringency measures on health and education services uptake of workers in the two sectors understudy. A survey of 363 respondents was undertaken between the formal and informal workers in Gwagwalada Area Council of Abuja, Nigeria, to examine the effects of the pandemic lockdown policy measures on the uptake of education and health services. The study found that the informal sector workers were more severely affected than the formal sector during the lockdown. To address these challenges, the study recommends, among others, massive loans and grants for business owners with little or no interest rate to cushion the effects of the COVID-19.

Published: January 2024

Despite the advances in high-throughput sequencing, many rare disease patients remain undiagnosed. In particular, the patients with well-defined clinical phenotypes and established clinical diagnosis, yet missing or partial genetic diagnosis, may hold a clue to more complex genetic mechanisms of a disease that could be missed by available clinical tests. Here, we report a patient with a clinical diagnosis of Tuberous sclerosis, combined with unusual secondary features, but negative clinical tests includingTSC1andTSC2. Short-read whole-genome sequencing combined with advanced bioinformatics analyses were successful in uncovering a de novo pericentric 87-Mb inversion with breakpoints inTSC2andANKRD11, which explains the TSC clinical diagnosis, and confirms a second underlying monogenic disorder, KBG syndrome. Our findings illustrate how complex variants, such as large inversions, may be missed by clinical tests and further highlight the importance of well-defined clinical diagnoses in uncovering complex molecular mechanisms of a disease, such as complex variants and “double trouble” effects.

Published: January 2024

In education, the importance of gathering and understanding student feedback cannot be over stated. Traditional methods of gathering feedback through surveys and assessments often suffer from limitations such as low response rates and subjectivity. This paper proposes a new approach to improve the feedback collection process by implementing a Student Feedback Mining System using sentiment analysis. The goal of this system is to automatically analyze and extract sentiment from student feedback and provide educators and institutions with valuable insights into students' overall satisfaction and feelings toward various aspects of their academic experience. The system uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to process unstructured text data, identify sentiments, and categorize feedback into positive, negative, or neutral feelings. Collecting student feedback through various channels such as online surveys, discussion forums and other feedback mechanisms. Cleaning and preprocessing the collected text data to remove noise, irrelevant information and standardize the format for analysis. Using state of the art NLP algorithms and sentiment analysis techniques to determine the emotional tone of feedback. This includes classifying sentiment as positive, negative, or neutral. Grouping feedback based on specific criteria such as course content, teaching methods, facilities and overall learning experience to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects affecting student satisfaction. Presenting analyzed data through intuitive visualizations and reports, making it easy for educators and administrators to interpret and respond to feedback. Creating feedback that enables continuous improvement by providing actionable insights for educators to improve their teaching methods, curriculum and overall learning environment. The proposed system aims to overcome the limitations of traditional feedback collection methods by automating the analysis process, providing real-time insights and supporting a data-driven approach to improving education. Using sentiment analysis, educators and institutions can proactively solve problems, improve the quality of education, and create a more positive and engaging learning environment.
The Ethics of Transhumanism from the Perspective of Gilbert Ryle Monist Ethics: Ambiguities and Prospects
Authors: Simanjuntak Mardohar Batu Bornok , Doweng Bolo Andreas , Loho Ambrosius Markus
Published: January 2024

Transhumanism attempts to overcome human limitations through the use of technology, such as nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and genetic modifications. In the monist ethical perspective, humans are considered complex material entities, and consciousness is understood as a product of the physical and chemical interactions in the brain with various other parts of the body. The problem is that with such artificial revolutions, ethical foundations based on corporeal limitations become irrelevant. Gilbert Ryle questions Platonistic dispositions that overly rely on reduction with the consequence of extractive knowledge rather than abstract knowledge. Plato's line of thought is then strengthened by Cartesian dualism, which, when applied in a monist perspective, can be reduced to an extraction of brain performance. Ryle proposes an abstraction that allows for the interaction between elements to form a unified understanding of the complex. Based on Ryle's thinking, a study of monist ethics can offer a thoughtful approach to constructing an ethical framework that aligns with the transhumanist era's revolution.

Published: January 2024

The results of long-term meteorological observations indicate that climate warming is a real phenomenon that has been accelerating significantly in recent decades. Climate change creates new conditions for forestry. The purpose of the study is to determine the potential productivity of the forests of the Moscow region and its unrealized potential in the conditions of ongoing climatic changes. The results of long-term meteorological observations are used in the work. To assess the impact of changes in the provision of heat and moisture on forests, methods based on the dependence of potential productivity on climatic factors were used. Over the past 100 years, there have been significant changes in the climatic conditions of the growth of stands, taking place against the background of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere: an increase in the average annual temperature (more than 2 times compared to the beginning of the XX century) and an increase in the duration of the growing season (on average by 30‑40 days), changes in the annual amount of precipitation and their redistribution by seasons year. According to the calculations carried out, along with this, there has been an increase in the potential productivity of the forests of the Moscow region by 1.6 times over the past 120 years. In conditions of an increase in the average annual temperature, precipitation, and the duration of the growing season, an important task of forestry should be the adaptation of forestry measures to current changes in order to increase forest productivity and the level of provision of ecosystem services, to adapt forestry to new conditions.
Comprehensive assessment of the suitability of water resources for irrigation

Published: January 2024

Assessment of the suitability of water resources for irrigation purposes using various approaches. The closure of the North Crimean Canal system has led to an increase in water scarcity in the Republic of Crimea. As a result, limited usable water resources have been used for irrigation purposes. For a comprehensive understanding of the consequences of this type of anthropogenic activity, it is necessary to assess the quality of water in terms of its negative impact on plants, soil, elements of irrigation systems and irrigation techniques. The article provides a brief description of the most widely used approaches in world and domestic practice to analyze the suitability of water resources for irrigation purposes. Based on them, on the example of specific water management facilities whose resources are used or are planned to be used for irrigation, a comprehensive assessment of water quality was carried out. As a result of the study, it was found that the analysis of the suitability of water resources for irrigation purposes, based only on the assessment of their chemical composition, does not always allow us to get an unambiguous answer to the question whether they should be used for irrigation, since this is further influenced by a number of factors: the amount of precipitation, the volume of irrigation norms, the method of irrigation, the type of soil and others. However, its results contribute to the justification of actions aimed at reducing / preventing the negative consequences of the use of water in agriculture that does not meet the quality requirements.

Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, Shatashvili Tamara Alexandrovna
Published: January 2024

The work was carried out according to an innovative methodology that combines the approach of regression of Gaussian processes with the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb optimization algorithm with limited memory in order to predict the turbidity parameter of water at the outlet of sand-filled filters used in micro-irrigation systems. The order of significance of the variables involved in predicting the “turbidity” parameter at the outlet of filters with sand filler has been established. In particular, the input variable “Turbidity” can be considered the most important parameter in making a forecast. The methodology applied in the work can be successfully applied to other filtration processes with the same or different types of filter media, but the characteristics of each filter and experiment must always be taken into account.
Objects as Agents (Some Comments on O.L. Gubarev’s Response)
Authors: Puzanov D. V.
Published: January 2024

This article builds on the earlier discussion about the actor traits associated with North Germanic weapons. The historical theories and evidence used by O.L. Gubarev to support his approach are analyzed. It is argued that he seems to echo the historiographical tradition relying on oversimplified a priori assertions, rather than a comprehensive analysis of the concept of “living” things in certain cultures. In his polemical response, he misinterpreted some historical sources and the views of other researchers, while also presenting his own controversial ideas as undeniable facts. In conclusion, it is suggested that the beliefs in the ability of inanimate things to have person-like qualities and play an actual social role, the distinction between living and non-living nature, as well as the practice of attributing souls to non-living entities, should be regarded as separate problems that are not clearly related in all cultures.
The Role of the Oath Taken by Foreigners for Becoming Naturalized Russian Citizens (from the 15th to the Early 20th Century)
Authors: Voronin I. K.
Published: January 2024

This article considers the role of the oath of Russian citizenship as confirmation that foreigners become naturalized as Russian citizens. The concepts of “cross kissing”, “cross-kissing record”, and “oath” are examined in relation to the procedure of citizenship acquisition in Russia from the 15th to the early 20th century. Particular emphasis is placed on the genesis of the essence and scope of the oath institution in Russia. A comparative analysis is performed on the oaths taken by foreigners to assume the positions of public officials and subjects of the Russian emperors. The obtained results show that the change of citizenship did not entail compulsory religious conversion as long as the 17th century. All applicants for Russian citizenship had the right to take the oath in their native language and in front of the clergy member representing the religion they professed. As the oath of citizenship gained legitimacy and popularity in Russia, the lawmakers tried to unify the procedure, while ensuring that the oath text and ceremony remain sacred.
Gunpowder Production in Peter the Great’s Russia (Insights from Russian Historiography)
Authors: Alexeev Т. V.
Published: January 2024

Based on an analysis of the studies published by Russian researchers of the pre-revolutionary, Soviet, and post-Soviet periods, the article overviews the development of gunpowder production in Russia during the reign of Peter I, from the end of the 17th century to the first quarter of the 18th century. The early development of military-technical policy pursued by the Russian state in producing gunpowder is considered. Its inconsistency and zigzag nature are shown. The industrial infrastructure for gunpowder production and the major stages of its history are described. The characteristic features that point to its institutionalization as an integral part of the Russian military industry are identified: state management of the industry, centralized introduction of new techniques, and establishment of an effective personnel training system. The conclusion is made that the efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in gunpowder production through the use of saltpeter and sulfur were unsuccessful. Gunpowder production in Russia was also greatly influenced by the European raw materials market and technical expertise. The need for further research on this topic is highlighted.
Evgenia Vladimirovna Gutnova as a Historiographer of the English Medieval Parliament: The Anglo-American Research Perspective
Authors: Sidorova Т. А.
Published: January 2024

This article considers the Anglo-American historiography of the early English parliament based on the extensive contribution and heritage of Evgenia Vladimirovna Gutnova (1914–1992), an outstanding Soviet and Russian medievalist and historiographer. E.V. Gutnova was a pioneer and groundbreaker in the historical and historiographical study of the English state and medieval parliamentarism during the 13th–14th centuries. Through her work, she expanded the pool of historiographical sources available to the scientific world. This vast collection included the fundamental works on the English constitutional history of the Middle Ages published by major historians of England and the USA in the middle of the 19th–the first half of the 20th centuries. She performed a detailed analysis of their concepts of the English medieval parliament by comparison of the Whig-liberal (W. Stubbs) and “critical” (F.W. Maitland) models in line with the Marxist methodologies of history. Here, based on the historical-genetic and -comparative methods, along with historical analysis and synthesis, E.V. Gutnova’s role in the study of the early English parliamentarism within the Anglo-American historiography was defined. The conclusion is made that she developed and introduced an innovative historiographical concept, which has become a widely used algorithm for research in the field of foreign history of historical science, with the Anglo-American historiography of early parliamentarism in England as its integral part.
“Science on Display”: The Russian Phenomenon of Science Popularization in Eric Ashby’s Perspective
Authors: Korzun V. Р.
Published: January 2024

This article considers the popularization of Soviet science through the lens of the Australian botanist Eric Ashby, the author of the book “Scientist in Russia” published in New York in 1947. Although it has gone unnoticed in Russian historiography, this publication deserves thoughtful consideration for many reasons. Firstly, it addresses the current problem of public history. Secondly, it clarifies the role of cultural factors and national traditions in the development of Soviet science. Thirdly, it sheds light on the formation of a system of values in relation to science and scholars, which is closely linked to commemorative events. As an attentive foreign observer, E. Ashby succeeded in sketching his ideas about Soviet science. Here, his viewpoints are analyzed. The conceptualizing of the phenomenon of science popularization associated with academic anniversaries is discussed with respect to the celebration of the 220th anniversary of the USSR Academy of Sciences in June 1945, in which E. Ashby participated. The conclusions drawn from the study are as follows. E. Ashby related the extensive popularization of Soviet science to cultural paradigm, Russian literature, pre-revolutionary enlightenment practices, and the practical concept of applied knowledge. He emphasized the important role of science popularization in elevating the status of scientific knowledge and scholars in Soviet society. However, he also stressed possible negative consequences of overpopularized science, such as the hierarchization of the academic community based on popularity rather than scientific achievements.

Entramados comunitarios vecinales estudiantiles posibles. Cómo revertir los efectos sociales nocivos de la estudiantización
Authors: Cisterna Muñoz Paula , Marín Jara Daniela , Saravia-Cortés Felipe , Prada-Trigo José
Published: January 2024

Esta investigación aborda las formas en que los entramados comunitarios entre estudiantes y comunidades vecinales de los barrios aledaños a los campus universitarios pueden ser potenciados y fortalecidos, en contextos de estudiantización. Se aborda específicamente el caso del campus de la Universidad del Bío-Bío en la ciudad de Concepción, Chile. La metodología utilizada es de tipo cualitativa, con elementos participativos. Se aplicaron entrevistas a 20 personas que habitan el barrio alrededor del campus, incluyendo vecinos que arriendan a estudiantes y que no, dueños de negocios locales y estudiantes universitarios que viven en el barrio. Para su procesamiento se aplicó análisis de contenido asistido por el software Atlas.ti, obteniéndose una aproximación a las percepciones sobre los entramados comunitarios entre estudiantes y vecinos. En un segundo momento, dicha información fue utilizada para la realización de intervenciones al interior del campus universitario con stands informativos, que fueron también un espacio para levantar información desde el estudiantado sobre posibles estrategias para el fortalecimiento de los entramados comunitarios. Participaron en esta instancia 73 estudiantes. Esta información fue analizada también aplicando análisis de contenido. Los resultados muestran que los vecinos del barrio reconocen el contexto de estudiantización, que se ha ido acrecentando con el tiempo, y tienen una percepción de entramados comunitarios débiles con los estudiantes universitarios y entre vecinos en general. La relación entre comunidad vecinal y estudiantes es contradictoria: por un lado, es valorada por aspectos económicos y sociales, pero tiene aparejada conflictos. Los estudiantes visualizan diversas maneras de fortalecer dicha relación asociadas principalmente a la relación entre arte y vida comunitaria, al ámbito educativo, al voluntariado y a la extensión universitaria. En todas estas, se considera que la universidad en tanto institución debe cumplir un rol relevante como coordinadora y facilitadora de procesos de encuentro y de fortalecimiento de los entramados comunitarios.

Cosmetics are products of several substances or ingredients with a predetermined time limit. Efforts to extend the time limit of cosmetic use are made by adding preservatives. One preservative that is often used is methylparaben. Methylparaben has been tested using spectrophotometry, voltammetry, and HPLC. In this study, electrode modification was carried out in the voltammetry test to obtain a low detection limit. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the working electrode composition of carbon paste, bentonite nanoparticles, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and paraffin on the best response in the analysis of methylparaben by cyclic voltammetry, knowing the optimum measurement conditions of pH with the best electrode composition in the analysis of methylparaben by cyclic voltammetry. FTIR characterized bentonite nanoparticles to determine vibrations and functional groups, and XRD was performed to determine the phase and particle size. The electrode was made from a mixture of carbon, bentonite nanoparticles, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and paraffin. The best electrode composition was added with titanium dioxide nanoparticles to obtain a higher peak current. XRD characterization of bentonite nanoparticles showed an average particle size of 43.8155 nm. The result of determining the best electrode composition is 3:2:3:2 with an anodic peak current of 9.6.10-4 A. The best methylparaben measurement at pH seven solution conditions. The latest research shows that carbon paste electrodes modified with bentonite and titanium dioxide nanoparticles can be used for methylparaben analysis.

Indian agriculture has undergone enormous change since the Green Revolution in order to meet the demands of the country's constantly expanding population. Utilizing chemical fertilizers excessively to protect plants is one such change. Concerns about these chemical fertilizers’ detrimental impacts on human and soil health have recently risen. Alternative approaches, such as eco-friendly bio fertilizers, are being used to counteract these negative impacts of conventional fertilizers. Consequently, a deeper comprehension of farmers' preferences for bio fertilizers is required especially in hill vegetable cultivation. This study focuses on the several variables that significantly influence the farmers' decisions to use bio-fertilizers. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted, and the findings revealed that experience, effectiveness, product quality, brand loyalty, advertising, and dealers' influence were some of the key factors that drove farmers to use bio-fertilizers

O câncer do colo do útero (CCU) é uma afecção caracterizada pela replicação desordenada de células que revestem a
cérvice uterina. Descrever as principais dificuldades encontradas durante a assistência de Enfermagem no rastreamento do câncer
no colo uterino (CCU). Estudo de delineamento metodológico, revisão de literatura, que teve como foco realizar a análise de artigos
científicos sobre a atuação de Enfermagem nas dificuldades enfrentadas no rastreamento do (CCU) no âmbito da atenção primária.
A pesquisa foi desenvolvida durante o mês de outubro de 2023 e para direcionamento do estudo foi formulada a seguinte pergunta
norteadora: quais as produções científicas disponíveis na literatura abordam sobre a atuação de Enfermagem frente às dificuldades
enfrentadas no rastreamento do câncer de colo do útero no âmbito da atenção primária? A investigação bibliográfica abarcou as
seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Google Acadêmico, Medical Literature Analysis and
Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). Com base nos relatos obtidos, compreendeu-se que o profissional enfermeiro desempenha
papel primordial no contexto da prevenção do CCU, articulando ações de prevenção correta e acolhimento. Embora exista muitas
dificuldades de acesso, adesão ao tratamento, demora nos resultados ou falhas na comunicação entre paciente-profissional, deve-se
organizar logisticamente um fluxo adequado para que essa mulher tenha um acesso de qualidade e que fortaleça o vínculo com a
rede de atenção, fixando assim, uma linha de cuidado integral. Conclui-se que diante das dificuldades encontradas para realização
das ações de rastreio e prevenção do câncer no colo uterino, é necessário que o enfermeiro conheçam bem a realidade da população
da sua área de trabalho e desenvolva ações que visem minimizar os fatores contribuintes para a não realização das ações de rastreio.

As DCNT são patologias responsáveis por estabelecer limitações a longo prazo na vida das pessoas que convivem com
essas doenças. identificar, na literatura científica, as estratégias sobre a atuação da enfermagem no cuidado a pessoas com doenças
crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT). Trata-se de uma Revisão da Literatura realizada por meio da busca nas bases de dados
Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Google acadêmico, Pubmed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS). A busca foi
realizada no período de 1 a 31 de outubro de 2023. Foram selecionados artigos originais, que respondessem ao objetivo do
estudo, no idioma português e publicado nos últimos 7 anos e de acesso aberto. Excluíram-se teses, dissertações, editoriais e
manuais técnicos. Utilizou-se os descritores do DECS: “Enfermagem”, “Doenças Crônicas não transmissíveis ”, “Enfermagem
na atenção básica” , conectados por meio do operador booleano AND. Foram selecionados 7 artigos para compor a amostra do
estudo. A equipe de enfermagem estabelece um auxílio essencial para a evolução do estado de saúde das pessoas com DCNT, de
modo que, está presente desde a prevenção até ao tratamento destas patologias, a fim de garantir um cuidado holístico a esses
usuários, por meio da qualificação da assistência, principalmente por meio da educação em saúde, que está presente desde a
prevenção até a reabilitação. Desta forma, o enfermeiro atua na integração da necessidade do cuidado aos cidadãos com DCNT
por meio de ações que facilitem o acesso da pessoa doente aos serviços, como a Visita Domiciliar, prática comum da ida de
profissionais de saúde até aos usuários que têm dificuldade ou pouca frequência na UBS. O profissional enfermeiro tem uma
importância no cuidado às pessoas com DCNT, sendo fundamental durante a estratégia de ações de promoção à saúde com
atuação principalmente sobre os fatores de risco das DCNT.
