Authors: Merinov Alexey V. , Zhurba Olga M. , Alekseenko Anton N. , Kudaeva Irina V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Changes in the levels of fatty acids (FA), reflecting the specifics of metabolic disorders in workers with vibration disease (VD), and persons with VD aggravated by metabolic syndrome (MS) have not been studied enough. Mass spectrometric study of the composition of FA in VD patients and cases suffered from VD in combination with MS seems justified, since these compounds can be included in the formation of disorders at the early stages of changes in health status under the influence of adverse factors, which will later establish significant prognostic indicators.
Materials and methods. The levels of esterified and free forms of fatty acids: saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in blood plasma, were determined on an Agilent 7890A/5975C gas chromatograph.
Results. The FA composition was studied in the surveyed cohort of people in vibration-hazardous occupations with a diagnosis of VD and VD+MS established in the clinic. Significant shifts in the FA levels were established, in VD + MS patients there was an increase in the concentrations of myristic, pentadecanoic, palmitic, margaric, stearic acids and ΣSFA when compared with VD patients. For all MUFAs and for ΣMUFA, large values were observed for the VD + MS group (p<0.001 to 0.027). For PUFAs, significant differences were noted in relation to the level of: α-linolenic, eicosatrienoic and eicosapentaenoic acids ω-3, total ω-3 PUFAs, linoleic, γ-linolenic and dihomo-γ-linolenic acids ω-6, total ω-6 PUFAs and total all PUFAs.
Limitations. The results apply to sixty six vibration-hazardous occupations surveyed. The influence of experience and dietary preferences on the FA composition in blood plasma has not been studied.
Conclusion. A study of the quantitative FA indicators in the blood plasma showed the total indicators of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in persons with VD+MS to be higher than in VD patients by 1.36, 1.33 and 1.12 times, respectively.

Introduction. The development of tourism in regions with an insufficient level of social infrastructure and a low self-cleaning capacity of the environment poses a danger due to the gain in infectious diseases. The level of water in Lake Baikal may determine the potential for dilution of chemical and microbiological contaminants in the coastal zone.

Materials and methods. The incidence of acute intestinal infections (AII) was studied in the area located on the south-eastern shore of the lake. Baikal (2016–2022). There were assessed risk-inducing factors including climate, water level of the lake, number of tourists, water quality. The values of relative risk, etiological share, economic damage were calculated.

Results. The incidence was 630.8 (455.9–781.9) in 0–14 years children, 16.0 (4.8–48.5) cases per 100 thousand population in people over 15 years old. The relative risk in children in the year of low water content of the lake. Baikal RR=1.498 (CI 1.067–2.102). The total level of economic damage caused by additional cases of rotavirus infection in children amounted to 4,528.960 of rubles with high water content, and 5,625.740 of rubles with low water content.

Limitations of the study relate to the inability to accurately estimate the number of tourists visiting the region; the inflation rate is not taken into account when calculating the economic damage.

Conclusion. The AII incidence in the children’s population of the coastal region is characterized by an increase in the years of water content in Lake Baikal, which differs from the optimal level, with changes in risk-inducing factors.
The Challenge Face in the Implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum in Northern Kenya
Authors: Hussein Adan
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Kenya is in the process of changing its educational system from one that is content-based to one that is competency-based. When implementing a new curriculum, teachers are likely to encounter difficulties, particularly with regard to the divisions of material and subjects, underlying presumptions, objectives, teaching strategies, and assessment techniques. In this regard, this study aimed to look into the challenges that northern Kenya had in implementing the competency-based curriculum successfully. The study's particular goals were to: Analyze the potential of the competency-based curriculum (CBC) and its effects on the stability of the education sector in northern Kenya, which will depend on the infrastructure available for its implementation; the results of this assessment will assist the government in implementing the competency-based curriculum. The 8-4-4 curriculum which is planned to be replaced by CBC had been implemented mostly by applying the transmission approach and children were reported to be attending primary school and not learning (KNEC, 2010 & UWEZO, 2013).

Methodology: The study employed a descriptive research design. Simple random sampling was employed. The study had a sample size of 45 primary school teachers and 15 head teachers. A questionnaire and interview schedules were used to collect data from the respondents.

Findings: Teacher quality determines the quality of curriculum implementation and one means of ensuring teacher quality is by making continuing teacher professional development available for teachers. The country should take into consideration teacher preparedness for the implementation of the new curriculum and whether the country is fully prepared to organize a teacher professional development program for sustained teacher quality.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study's foundation was Dewey's Social Constructivism Theory, which highlights how interaction and experience are the fundamental building blocks of human experience. The study suggests that in order to foster a positive attitude among teachers and successfully implement a competency-based curriculum, the Ministry of Education should increase its investment in teacher training and involve them in the curriculum change process. The study established that there was little extent of parental involvement in curriculum implementation in schools. Similarly, Sifuna and Obonyo (2019) examined the challenges hindering the effective implementation of CBC in Kenya. The study highlighted that there was an inadequacy of instructional materials and a lack of participation by parents in the curriculum implementation process.

Published: October 2023

Contributing to the growing call on integrated public diplomacy approaches, this study examines the priorities and opportunities of public diplomacy activities in regional integration and it addresses a literature gap on the most favorable public diplomacy approach that would give regional blocs room to take a more strategic role in policy communications. The study briefly conceptualizes public diplomacy and regional integration through an integrative strategic communication framework grounded in relationship building as an end goal of public diplomacy. The study suggests a reconsideration of public diplomacy approaches through a two-way communication to both domestic and foreign audiences. It reveals structural challenges to grounded engagements, dialogue and collaboration strategies of co-existence, understanding mutual interdependence and relationship building. Through a contextual analysis, the study expounds the view of public diplomacy beyond governments and to that which downplays globalization and reintroduces territory into its governance.
The Psycho-Social Effects of Xenophobia on Immigrants Living in Townships in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
Authors: Nyikadzino Rosemary
Published: October 2023

Xenophobia is an expression of hatred and intolerance towards foreign nationals. In recent decades, there have been waves of xenophobic attacks perpetrated against foreign nationals in South Africa, resulting in vandalism of property, displacement and homelessness, loss of lives and disintegration of families; this study sought to explore the psychosocial effects of Xenophobia in Gauteng, South Africa. The qualitative study approach was employed, and semi-structured interviews were used to obtain information from participants. Fifteen participants recruited through snowball sampling took part in the study. The fifteen participants were 8 males (53%) and 7 females (47%), and they represented five countries, namely Malawi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Zimbabwe, Somalia and Zambia. The mean age for the participants was 35.8 years. The interviews were audio-recorded and then transcribed to obtain textual data. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data, and four salient themes alongside other subthemes emerged. The four major themes were 1) discrimination, 2) fear and uncertainty, 3) identity crisis and 4) Vulnerability due to lack of protection from police and law enforcement. Xenophobia has had a telling effect on the psychosocial well-being of the immigrants. The findings suggest that there is need for a multi-level and multi-sectoral stirred by the government to mediate a lasting solution to xenophobia and the related consequences. Further research at grassroots level is recommended to obtain contextually rich information so that contextually relevant interventions can be implemented.

Published: October 2023

Estes resultados parciais de uma pesquisa de doutorado do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Matemática da UNESP – Rio Claro, insere-se na linha de pesquisa Relações entre História e Educação Matemática e tem como objetivo descrever a evolução histórica que culmina na concepção da Técnica da Transformada Integral Clássica, e as motivações que levaram a sistematização do seu modelo generalizado. As técnicas têm como foco resolver Equações Diferenciais Parciais (EDP) a princípio não tratáveis pelas teorias clássicas, como o conhecido método da separação de variáveis. Pretendemos fazer uma construção histórica, considerando o contexto do seu surgimento e desenvolvimento, passando pelas diversas modificações ao longo dos estudos e necessidades de se tornar uma técnica mais competitiva para a evolução do mundo tecnológico. Para atingir esse objetivo, faremos uma abordagem historiográfica que começa ao descrevermos algumas motivações históricas dos desenvolvimentos da Transformada Integral, e as principais ideias da Transformada Integral Finita por N.S. Koshlyakov. Além dos estudos detalhados realizados por G.A. Grinberg (1948), que generaliza os métodos de Koshlyakov, para o caso de mudança das propriedades do meio na direção da coordenada ao longo da qual a transformação é executada. E a aplicação de M.D. Mikhailov (1972), que propõe um núcleo de núcleo de processamento geral que unificou as várias transformações desenvolvidas até então, obtendo a solução para a equação da difusão linear em regiões finitas. Para assim, podermos entender esses movimentos que são precursores da proposta da Técnica da Transformada Integral Generalizada (GITT – Generalized Integral Transform Technique), de Özisik e Murray (1974). E, por fim, dos conceitos que surgiram com o formalismo da Técnica Transformada Integral Clássica (CITT - Classical Integral Transform Technique), proposta por Özisik e Mikhailov (1984).

Published: October 2023

Osmanlı Devleti yönetiminde 402 yıl kalan Filistin, Birinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında Siyonistlerin devlet kurma emellerine yönelik izledikleri stratejilerle İngiliz manda yönetimine geçmiştir. İkinci Dünya Savaşı’na kadar İngiliz manda yönetiminde kalan Filistin’de 1948 yılında İsrail devletinin kurulması ile birlikte Filistin sorunu farklı bir boyuta dönüşmüştür. İsrail ile Arap ülkeleri arasında çıkan savaşlar Filistin topraklarının kazanılmasından ziyade, İsrail’in topraklarını genişletmesiyle sonuçlanmıştır. Günümüzde Filistin, Doğu Akdeniz’de çatışmaların azalmadığı, İsrail’in işgaline ve saldırılarına uğramış Müslümanların kanayan yarası durumundadır. Uluslararası politika açısından da oldukça önem addedilen Filistin sorununun çözümüze yönelik farklı ülkelerin girişim ve barış planları olmuş, ancak bugüne kadar yapılan girişimler üç semavi dinin kutsal mekanlarını barındıran Filistin bölgesinde Müslümanlar ve Yahudiler arasında yaşanan çatışmaların sona ermesine ve barışın tesis edilmesini sağlayamamıştır. Bu çalışmada Filistin sorunu uluslararası politika açısından ele alınmış Türkiye, Avrupa Birliği (AB) Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) ve Çin’in Filistin sorununa yönelik politikaları ile uluslararası hukuk açısından incelenmiştir.

There was a moderate statistically significant positive relationship between the achievement sub-dimension of the OGAS and the OES neglect, exclusion and overall total and there was a negative and statistically significant relationship with the acceptance/affection and psychological autonomy sub-dimensions of the PAS. There was a moderate statistically significant negative relationship between the economic gain sub-dimension of the OGAS and the psychological autonomy sub-dimension of the PAS. It was found that social exclusion and the autonomic parental attitude scale were significant predictors of online gaming addiction in adolescents.
Conclusion: Social exclusion and autonomous parenting attitudes are effective on online game addiction in adolescents.
The Mental Stress of Immigrant Parents of Children with ASD in the United States During the COVID-19 Pandemics: A Study from Ecological System Perspective
Authors: Zhang Hui
Published: October 2023

Given that researchers interested in the experiences of minority parents of children with special needs sometimes recruit participants solely based on their ethnic origin, despite the socioeconomic and political divide between immigrant and native-born minority parents, little is known about the experiences of immigrant parents in the context of the global pandemic beginning in 2019, even though academics have seen major changes in family life in the context of COVID -19 constraints. By examining through an ecological system perspective and based on the findings of a qualitative interpretive phenomenological analysis(IPA) that sought to understand the experiences of 13 immigrant parents of children with ASD advocating for their children, who immigrated from 7 different countries and regions, this article discusses the mental stress experienced by immigrant parents during the pandemic. The findings about mental stress included coping with mental stress caused by being separated from family support networks, increased miscommunication caused by the shift from in-person to online communication, and increased workload as a home-based intervention provider due to practitioner shortages during the pandemic. This study implies that even though immigrant parents have demonstrated amazing resilience in dealing with the pandemic-related environment, external social support is urgently needed to assist them in managing the impact of pandemic-related stresses and concerns.

Published: October 2023

Communication is something vital in human existence. Communication is generally divided into two, namely verbal and non-verbal. For deaf and speech impaired people, the comic used is sign language and the intermediary used is a web-based application based on sign language from SIBI, with the implementation of the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) method to analyze its usability and use. The use of this method in sign language dictionaries is to change the time coefficient into distance, because similarities in images can produce patterns from the object that is the example. In this test there are 24 letters and for each letter 10 image models taken via camera are used, and training is carried out with 50 datasets. The average test result collected reaches 90% because the condition of the hand can be said to be like the condition of other hands. This application is used to learn SIBI language, translate and read hand movements via real-time video. And during testing, accuracy results affect certain situations such as camera capacity, model coloring in the background and hand movements, and light brightness in the training data.

The Sensitivity test reveals no irritation, redness or marked skin changes and grittiness revealed the smooth texture of the oil. All formulations exhibited a good anti dandruff activity against Malassezia furfur. The maximum zone of inhibition was observed in F5 (Phyla nodiflora, Chrysopogon zizanioides and Eucalyptus in coconut oil) against M.furfur. Conclusion: The study showed that the formulation of F5 consisting Phyla nodiflora, Chrysopogon zizanioides and Eucalyptus globulus in coconut oil base was best suitable to control dandruff in scalp in human beings.

Hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress have been associated with disease progressions such as cardiovascular disorders, degenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases with various complications. Increasing lipid peroxidation can be detected by measuring the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), and Glutathione (GSH). This study aims to analyze the total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) and the effect of fermented honey-garlic (FHG) on oxidative stress parameters MDA, SOD, and GSH in hyperlipidemic rats. TPC was calculated using the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method at 405nm using gallic acid as the standard. TFC was determined using a colorimetric test with AlCl3 at 433nm using quercetin as a standard. Wistar male rats were treated with a high cholesterol diet to induce hyperlipidemia (>100mg/dl), then treated with oral FHG at different doses, 2.5; 5; and 10ml/kg/day for 14 days. The positive control group was treated with simvastatin (10mg/kg/day) for 14 days orally. Serum was taken to analyse MDA, SOD, and GSH. The DPPH free radical scavenging experiment was used to calculate the antioxidant potential of the FHG at 525 nm. The results showed that FHG has a TFC value of 4.7mg QE/g and a TPC value of 6.4mg QE/g, with IC50 values of 49.34g/mL. FHG also demonstrated outstanding antioxidant capabilities indicated by significantly increase SOD levels but not MDA and GSH levels. The reduction of oxidative stress in rats treated with FGH is facilitated by antioxidant activity.

The study aimed to develop a technology for the production of a finished form of medicinal probiotic agents against human intestinal infections based on active strains of lactic acid and propionic acid bacteria with a wide range of biological activity and resistance to antibiotics. From the laboratory collection of lactic acid and propionic acid bacteria isolated from the intestines of healthy people, two associations of bacteria were compiled with antagonism against test cultures of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella gallinarum, Mycobacterium B5, Candida albicans, Pasteurella multocida, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli 8739, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603 and ATCC BAA 2524, Staphylococcus aureus 3316 and 9, Salmonella enteritidis 35382, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 835, as well as the ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes amylase and proteinase, B vitamins, and essential amino acids. The resistance of the selected associations of lactic acid and propionic acid bacteria to the used antibiotics has been studied, which will allow for using them, if necessary, in the complex therapy of diseases. Technology for the production of probiotic medication from these associations has been developed. It was found that the most active preparation in terms of bacterial titer and antagonistic activity and the most stable one during storage for 6 months was the liquid preparation obtained by growing association No. 2 (L. plantarum 2v/A-6+L. brevis B-3/A-26+L. acidophilus 27w/60+P. shermanii 8) on nutrient medium No. 1 (De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe agar with CoCl2) using 7% sucrose and 1.5% gelatin as a protector. The liquid preparation from association No. 5 grown on medium No. 1 showed a more complete preservation of production-valuable signs during storage compared to the results of using nutrient medium No. 4, while the use of protector No. 1 was more optimal. To test the stability during the storage of dry preparation forms, an accelerated method was used by warming them up for 15 minutes at 60°C. It was found that after warming up, the best preservation of viable bacterial cells was observed in association No. 2 on nutrient media No. 1 and No. 4, in association No. 5 on medium No. 4 dried with protector No. 2 (7% sucrose and 1.5% gelatin + 7% skim milk powder), while the titer of bacteria was equal to 1.2×109, 3.5×108, and 2.0±0.2×108 colony-forming units/g, respectively. Antagonistic activity in these association variants was observed against all test cultures taken into the study with zones of suppression of their growth ranging from 10 to 24 mm.

Published: October 2023

Finding novel antimicrobial components has achieved a global research focus as the contaminating and pathogenic microbes develop resistance against standard drugs. Current study encompasses Agar well diffusion mediated Antimicrobial (Antibacterial and Antifungal) analysis using methanol extract of marine red algae Centroceras clavulatum (C. agardh) Montagne collected from coasts of Kannur District, Kerala. Tests have performed against 5 pathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus aeruginosa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae and 5 strains of pathogenic fungi such as Candida albicans, Candida auris, Candida pelliculosa, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis using various concentrations of sample. When compared to the colony inhibition by standard (Chloramphenicol and Fluconazole) (10µl), 25 µl concentration of sample has effectively inhibited most of the tested strains. The study suggests Centroceras clavulatum (C.Agardh) Montagne as potential seaweed to be used for isolating various antimicrobial components.

Nozzle clogging is a common problem in Al deoxidized continuous casting steel production. Clogging occurs when impurities in liquid steel and deposit build up on the wall of the submersible nozzle (SEN). The results of the study on the change of elements Al, Ca, O, N,… in the process of Ca addition continuous casting, the impurity composition in liquid steel and the composition of the deposit layer on the SEN wall can indicate the evolution of SEN clogging through the Ca/Al ratio and predict well the occurrence of calcium aluminate phases affecting the clogging process.
Analysis of temperature field and phase transformation by numerical simulation during welding A516 grade 70 structural carbon steel
Authors: Vu Dinh Toai
Published: October 2023

The temperature field plays an important role in the fusion welding process, it determines the microstructure and properties of the welded joint. It is very difficult and expensive to determine the temperature in the welded joint experimentally, so this study proposes a solution to determine the temperature field as well as the phase transformation during welding by numerical simulation using SYSWELD software. Through the analysis of the welding temperature field, we can evaluate the ability of the fusion/penetration of joint, the size of the heat-affected zone as well as some welding defects that may be encountered to determine the feasible heat-input range for a specific welding joint. The analysis of welding temperature-time curves will assess the ability to form the hard microstructures such as martensite or bainite that cause brittleness leading to a decrease in the working ability of the welded joint, on that basis, the suitable welding parameter can be found. The research results show that for a butt-welded joint made of A516 grade 70 structural carbon steel with 16 mm thickness, 4 welding runs will have to be welded with the corresponding feasible heat-input ranges respectively of 2252 J/mm ≤ q1 ≤ 2402 J/mm, 2828 J/mm < q2 < 3328 J/mm, 2458 J/mm < q3 < 2518 J/mm and 2878 J/mm < q4 < 3628 J/mm.

Maraging steel is used to make parts that need high hardness and durability while it is also needing great ductility for processing and shaping. In order to achieve the above mechanical properties, the steel needs to be quenched and aged with an appropriate amount of time to control the precipitation of intermediate phase on martensite. In this study, the maraging steel (03Ni18Co9Mo5TiAl) was quenched at 920 oC and then aged at 490 oC with a time interval from 2 h to 10 h to evaluate the effect of aging time on the microstructures and hardness of steel. The results have shown that, at the first 6 h aging interval, the hardness value is proportional to aging time and reaches its maximum value at 53.5 HRC. If the aging time continues to increase, the tendency expands the particle size of intermediate phase will decrease the hardness value on the obtained samples.
