Integration of Systematic Screening For Tuberculosis in Outpatient Departments of Urban Primary Health-Care Facilities in Zambia: A Case Study of Kitwe District
Authors: Zulu Davy Wadula , Silumbwe Adam , Maritim Patricia , Zulu Joseph Mumba
Published: November 2021

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent globally, yet 3 million cases are missed every year. The World Health Organization recommends systematic screening of suspected active TB patients among those visiting the healthcare facilities. While many countries have scaled-up systematic screening of TB, there has been limited assessment of the extent of its integration into the health system. This study sought to explore factors that shaped the integration of systematic screening of TB in outpatient departments of primary healthcare facilities in Kitwe district, Zambia. Methods: This was a qualitative case study with health providers including district managers, TB focal point persons and laboratory personnel working in six purposively selected primary healthcare facilities. Data was collected through key informant (n=8) and in-depth (n=15) interviews. Data analysis was conducted using QDA Miner software and guided by Atun’s Integration framework.Results: Integration was facilitated by perceptions of the magnitude of the TB burden, alignment of the intervention with national TB aspirations, knowledge of stakeholder interests, power and values, regular performance management and intra-facility collaboration. Constraining factors included external partners’ influence in the TB screening program, unbalanced incentivization mechanisms, donor-driven financing and social determinants of health such as gender and stigma including the COVID-19 pandemic.Conclusion: Systematic screening of TB is not well integrated into the primary healthcare facilities to capture all those suspected with active TB that make contact with the health system. Finding the missing TB cases will, therefore, require contextual adaptation of the systematic screening for TB and strengthening the health system.
Expansion of detectable area by floating electrodes in capacitive three-dimensional proximity sensor
Authors: Deguchi M.
Published: November 2021

In the capacitive proximity sensing method, arranging multiple sensing electrodes makes it possible to obtain the three-dimensional position of a nearby object. The author has developed a capacitive proximity sensing method using LC resonance in three reactance elements. In this method, the detectable area can be greatly extended by the floating electrodes, which are capacitively connected to the sensing electrode. By connecting multiple floating electrodes in series, the detectable range can be extended up to the length of the array of floating electrodes. When these electrodes are arranged on a frame, the region surrounded by the frame becomes the detectable area. By applying this frame on any surface, it is possible to make the surface within the opening of the frame a non-contact operating panel, which can be applied as a gesture input device.
Perbandingan Penerbitan dan Harga Buku Mengikut Genre di Malaysia dan Jepun Menggunakan Data Akses Terbuka dan Simulasi Monte Carlo
Authors: Dahlan Hadi Akbar
Published: November 2021

Reading habits are often associated with an increased cognitive level. However, book genre can also affect the cognitive level. This is because different book genres can be attributed to different types of knowledge and tendency towards a specific book genre can be viewed as a preference towards a specific type of knowledge. Research on Malaysians’ interest and the tendency towards book genre and type of knowledge can be investigated using the publication data of each book genre and its prices. The objective of this research is to analyse and compare the book publications and the average price of each book’s genre in Malaysia with those of Japan. Comparison was done based on book categorisation genre strategy to 12 book genres. Based on Monte Carlo simulation method data, Malaysians are attracted to book genres on language, literature and science. While the Japanese are more interested in the book genres of social sciences and hobbies/art. The similarity between Malaysian and Japanese societies are that both societies also favour book genre of literature. However, it is possible that the themes of literary genre in Japan and Malaysia are very different. The result of this study can be used to identify the differences between Malaysian and Japanese reading habits as well as for formulating strategies to change Malaysian reading habits towards the style of Japanese reading habits.

Published: November 2021

Three mutant rice (Oryza sativa L.) lines (AG1, AG2 and AG3) were selected as heat tolerant mutants from a gamma-ray-irradiated population of a heat-susceptible line (AG), based on their floret fertility grown under high temperatures. They were subjected to heat stress treatment (45°C, 22 hrs) at the 5-leaf stage, together with a heat-tolerant cultivar N22 and AG. Analysis of seedling root growth by WinRHIZO scanning revealed that N22 and AG3 were more heat-tolerant than the other lines (AG being the most heat susceptible). Following heat stress, a significantly higher level of oxidative damage, as indicated by TBARS, was observed in AG than in N22 and AG3. The proline accumulation was significantly higher in N22 and AG3（12- to 13.5- fold）than AG (2.5- fold). Similarly, significantly greater increases of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were observed in N22 and AG3 than in AG. The expression of four heat shock proteins was also investigated using qPCR: OsHSP16.9, OsHSP80.3 and OsHSP100.9were induced by heat stress to various levels while OsHSP72.6was down-regulated in all tested lines. The heat-induced expression of OsHSP16.9 and OsHSP100.9 in N22 and AG3 was about twice that of AG. Higher proline accumulation and expression of the three HSP genes, as well as elevation ofT-AOC and SOD activity were observed in the heat-tolerant N22 and the mutant line AG3 under heat stress

Published: November 2021

The present study aims at deciphering the response of Basmati rice mutants to high temperature stress. The work aims to find an early screening method by correlating seedling and physiological response to yields. After rigorous screening in controlled environment (growth chamber) and field conditions over a period of four years 16 mutants’ lines were selected: HTT-18, HTT-29, HTT-31, HTT-39, HTT-51, HTT-53, HTT-74, HTT-81, HTT-92, HTT-97, HTT-98, HTT-104, HTT-114, HTT-119, HTT-132 and HTT-138. These have been tested against standards: Super Basmati and IR-64. Field trials were conducted at three locations while early seedling-stage traits and their biochemical analyses were studied in growth chamber experiments. Data of seedling traits were used to establish correlations with paddy yield under hot field conditions. The temperatures were high at two sites: Multan and Bahawalpur ranging 24-46 °C and 25-45 °C respectively), and relatively lower at NIAB field station (26-45 °C. The paddy yield was significantly correlated with early seedling-stage traits such as shoot length (0.79**), shoot fresh and dry weight (0.48* and 0.49*), and cell membrane thermo-stability (0.60**). Additionally, significant higher activities of antioxidants (SOD and APX) and lower stress indicators (MDA, esterase and TOS) were observed in the heat tolerant mutants. These mutants were classified for their heat tolerance by principle component analysis (PCA) using yield-correlated early seedling-stage and other physio-biochemical parameters. As a result, the heat tolerance classification of mutants based on PCA coincided with the yield of mutants grown under hot field conditions. The present study suggests that these seedling parameters may be used as surrogates for field performance and used in the selection of thermo-tolerant Basmati rice
Herbaceous Traces: A History of Agri/cultural Sinuosities
Authors: Roulière Camille
Published: November 2021

In this piece, I follow the geo-temporal meanderings of native grasses (in particular yam daisy-Microseris lanceolate and native millet-Panicum decompositum) through the Australian colonial record and beyond to reveal co-constitutive entanglements which bear witness to a plurality of agri/cultural narratives. In particular, I draw on the concept of trace as theorised by philosophers Jacques Derrida and Édouard Glissant to explore and produce aesthetic interventions which reveal, shape, coerce and/or support these grasses’ presence and agency—their voices. Scattered through geo-temporalities and media, these interventions document—trace—native grasses’ historical experiences and the role(s) awarded to them. Their punctual nature accounts/allows for ruptures, disruptions and (dis)continuity: each intervention carries its own rhythms of the collision between past and future in its midst. This fragmentary state also supports the fluid positioning of voices—the crafting of a textual space where poetics become a tool of decoloniality. Such a juxtaposition of perspectives and representational practices aim to generate intertwining accounts of vegetal being-in-the-world. More precisely, it aims to provide new insights into how native grasses have shaped and been shaped by colonial and decolonial practices—to illuminate their sinuous trajectories with(in) the fabric of the land.
Collaborating with(in) the Garden: Stewardship, Performance, and Thinking Beyond the Spatio-Temporal Formations of Institutional Legacies
Authors: Bell Chris
Published: November 2021

What might it mean to conceptualize stewardship as a multi-species performance that contests the spatio-temporal boundaries of institutions? The proposed paper focuses on the Native American Medicine Garden (NAMG) on the University of Minnesota campus and the stewardship of Cânté Sütá (Oglala Lakota), paying specific attention to the role of plants in a distinctly Lakota-led initiative. I consider the NAMG as an undercommons, a generative site to challenge conformist settler logics governing land use (i.e., Morrill Act) and to envision not-yet thought modes of co-existence. I think from the garden to consider the relationship between stewardship and performance, arguing that the NAMG - as a pedagogical space of possibility - expands how and for whom coaltions are built. The NAMG sets the conditions for resistance by entities that likely would be identified as auxiliary or inert within settler-colonial notions of land-use, inviting non-native participants to approach the formation of plants not as an object of analysis, but as co-constituting philosophical thoughts and possibilities for existence.
Plant Art from the Amazon: Tree Performance in the Work of Frans Krajcberg
Authors: Vieira Patrícia
Published: November 2021

This article examines plant performance in the work of naturalized Brazilian artist Frans Krajcberg (1921-2017). Krajcberg saw his art as a way to give voice to forest plants that are being systematically destroyed through fires and logging, to give way to agribusiness ventures. He used burnt trunks of Amazonian trees he collected after forest fires to create a series of sculptures that denounced the environmental crimes taking place in the region. I resort to biosemiotics, New Materialism and Indigenous, peasant and riverine Amazonian thought as possible theoretical frameworks to interpret Krajcberg's sculptures as a human/plant collaboration that questions species divides and even the boundaries between living and non-living matter. The import of his pieces is clear: the bodies of the dead and charred trees are given a new life in Krajcberg’s work that incorporates them and turns them into art. I argue that his artworks are a fusion between the bare physically of the dead trees that speak to us through their materiality and the artist’s craft. The trees are very clearly inscribed into the sculptures that allow them to speak from beyond their grave, as it were, and to become living symbols of the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
The Role of Technology in Financial Inclusion-A Case Study Mobile Money Penetration in Ghana
Authors: Abbey Samuel Nii Attoh
Published: November 2021

With the flagship success of M-Pesa, mobile devices have become an important tool to facilitate the financial inclusion of the previously unbanked population in developing countries. Following the success of M-Pesa in Kenya in 2007, mobile money technologies became widespread across Africa. Beginning in 2009, Ghana experienced exceptional adoption of Mobile Money technology. Many studies have examined the influence of mobile money on financial inclusion from a variety of perspectives, and many have concluded that mobile money is a game-changer in this regard. The Mobile Money concept has evolved based on introducing the other value-added services such as microloans, savings, and insurance portfolios. The researcher used a questionnaire and a face-to-face interview to obtain qualitative data for this study. Together with other research, the statistics revealed that Mobile Money transactions in Ghana had more than tripled since it became the most popular payment method. Over the last year, the platform as a service has created over 140,000 jobs and has shown to be the safest channel. It has several advantages, including lowering the cost of printing and keeping cash on hand, as well as decreasing fraud because the technology underlying it gives appropriate audit trails to prevent fraud and boost economic growth.

Internet has become a part of our lives. Two-thirds of adult men and one third of females use internet in India. In that, 12% of websites are pornographic, 30% of net traffic is sex-related, 35% of downloads are of pornographic material. In India, 72% of adult males and 28% of adult women viewed pornography. One-third of people accessed the net for porn while in office or in school/college. In a study done on college students in a small town in South India, 84.2% view porn on a daily basis, one-half felt that they use porn more than they intended to see and were awake late at night; two-thirds felt that their academic grades dropped. On a multicity sex survey in South India on college students—69% watch, sex videos 6 hours a week; 24% of girls feel porn is harmless; 30% of students had sex relations with lovers, and 12% of girls became pregnant. In an objective assessment of porn consumption in medical students in Central India, 14 % of boys and 8% of girls were found to have the potential to become internet sex addicts. Cybersex addiction is six times more in men than in women. In the self-claimed hypersexual people, porn consumption was 6 times higher, total sexual outlets per week was three times higher, total sexual partners was double when compared with non-hypersexual people.

Research on the adoption behavior of water efficiency labeling is of great significance for improving citizens' water-saving consciousness and promoting water-saving techniques and standards. This study sorted out 559 papers about adoption behavior and then systematically analyzed the origin and research progress of water efficiency labeling in different fields. Finally, related theories and empirical analysis are integrated, and a research framework of ‘gold ingot’ that focuses on adoption behavior is constructed. The study found that the research mainly involves three contents in the current: adoption behavior of corporate users, adoption behavior of rural households and adoption behavior of individual users. Based on the above literature analysis, this study proposes a theoretical framework for research on the adoption behavior of water efficiency labeling.

Authors: Puspitasari Dwiyanti , Rusli Edward Adijaya , Husada Dominicus , Kartina Leny
Published: November 2021

Background: Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are the result of a reaction between taint agents that infected the patient when the patient is hospitalized. A Study from The Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that most HAIs in hospital are urinary tract infection, most of the infection incident in patient are caused by catheter. Catheter indwelling is notable in medical sphere. This study aimed to inquire case number of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, the feature of CAUTI patients, the type of bacteria that cause CAUTI, and what is the relation among sex and bacteria colony.Materials and Methods: An analytic observational study with the population of pediatric hospitalized patients of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital was conducted in January-December 2017. Samples collected were positive urine culture from pediatric hospitalized patients. Information regarding the bacteria that cause CAUTI, gender, and length of catheter usage were collected.Results: There were total 140 samples of positive urine culture in pediatric patient, and 38.5% was diagnosed as CAUTI. Overall CAUTI was often found in male subjects (51.9 %), and similar with ≤1-year old patients which also often found in male subjects (60.8%). The highest length of catheter usage was 3-5 days (42.5%). All subjects had fever as a clinical sign and 83.3% had suprapubic pain. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae infections were highly discovered. There was an association between gender and urine culture colony count (p=0.02).Conclusion: CAUTI is commonnly found in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, and two bacteria that cause the most infection were E. coli and K. pneumoniae.Keywords: catheter, urinary tract infection, healthcare associated infection
Mutual Effects of Free and Nanoencapsulated Phenolic Compounds
on Human Microbiota
Authors: Cassini Carina , Zatti Pedro Henrique , Angeli Valéria Weiss , Branco Catia Santos , Salvador Mirian
Published: November 2021

:

Phenolic compounds (PC) have many health benefits such as antioxidant, anticarcinogenic,
neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities. All of these activities depend
on their chemical structures and their interaction with biological targets in the body.
PC occur naturally in polymerized form, linked to glycosides and require metabolic transformation
from their ingestion to their absorption. The gut microbiota can transform PC
into more easily absorbed metabolites. PC, in turn, have prebiotic and antimicrobial actions
on the microbiota. Despite this, their low oral bioavailability still compromises biological
performance. Therefore, the use of nanocarriers has been demonstrated to be a
useful strategy to improve PC absorption and, consequently, their health effects. Nanotechnology
is an excellent alternative able to overcome the limits of oral bioavailability of
PC, since it offers protection from degradation during their passage through the gastrointestinal
tract. Moreover, nanotechnology is also capable of promoting controlled PC release
and modulating the interaction between PC and the microbiota. However, little is
known about the impact of nanotechnology on PC effects on the gut microbiota. This review
highlights the use of nanotechnology for PC delivery on gut microbiota, focusing on
the ability of such formulations to enhance oral bioavailability by applying nanocarriers
(polymeric nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, solid lipid nanoparticles). In addition,
the effects of free and nanocarried PC or nanocarriers per se on gut microbiota are
also described.

Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 5-10% of all strokes and is a
subtype of hemorrhagic stroke that places a heavy burden on health care. Despite great progress in
surgical clipping and endovascular treatment for ruptured aneurysms, cerebral vasospasm (CVS)
and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) threaten the long-term outcomes of patients with SAH. Moreover,
there are limited drugs available to reduce the risk of DCI and adverse outcomes in SAH patients.
New insight suggests that early brain injury (EBI), which occurs within 72 h after the onset of
SAH, may lay the foundation for further DCI development and poor outcomes. The mechanisms of
EBI mainly include excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB)
destruction, and cellular death. Mitochondria are a double-membrane organelle, and they play an
important role in energy production, cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and survival. Mitochondrial
dysfunction, which can lead to mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) collapse, overproduction
of reactive oxygen species (ROS), release of apoptogenic proteins, disorders of mitochondrial
dynamics, and activation of mitochondria-related inflammation, is considered a novel mechanism
of EBI related to DCI as well as post-SAH outcomes. In addition, mitophagy is activated after
SAH. In this review, we discuss the latest perspectives on the role of mitochondria in EBI and DCI
after SAH. We emphasize the potential of mitochondria as therapeutic targets and summarize the
promising therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondria for SAH.

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy and lactation is a widespread preventable cause of neurodevelopmental impairment in newborns. While the harmful effects of gestational alcohol use have been well documented, only recently the role of paternal preconceptual alcohol consumption (PPAC) prior to copulating has drawn specific epigenetic considerations. Solid human and animal model data demonstrated that PPAC may affect sperm function eliciting oxidative stress. In newborns, PPAC may induce changes in the behavior, cognitive functions and emotional responses. Furthermore, PPAC may elicit neurobiological disruptions, visuospatial impairments, hyperactivity disorders, motor skill disruptions, hearing loss, endocrine and immune alterations, reduced physical growth, placental disruptions and metabolic alterations. Neurobiological studies on PPAC disclosed also changes in brain function and structure by the disruption of the growth factors pathways. In particular, as shown in animal model studies PPAC alters brain nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) synthesis and release. This review shows that the crucial topic of lifelong disabilities induced by PPAC and/or gestational alcohol drinking is quite challenging at the individual, societal, and familial levels. Since a nontoxic drinking behavior before pregnancy (for both men and women) during pregnancy and lactation cannot be established the only suggestion for couples planning pregnancies is to completely avoid the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
challenges of public speaking in the wings of culture
Authors: Stambouli Najoua
Published: November 2021

As a content producer and presenter of the radio show program, "The Wings of Culture", broadcasted live every Friday on Radio Ribat Fm, Monastir, I have faced different challenges. This paper draws on my personal experience to examine the various challenges I have so far met while presenting the program. My presentation tackles in its first part how the radio host should inform, instruct, and entertain simultaneously the audience especially that the program targets British and American literature and civilisation. The second important challenge to address is how to use voice, word choice, and pitch in order to enact an effective public performance, and accordingly help the audience create the required mental picture specifically in the condition of the absence of a visual image. The third part, however, is devoted to talk about how to manage time, work under pressure, and have quick thinking particularly when engaging in conversation with a guest.

Published: November 2021

The experience of using information space in the process of students’ work over a course paper in linguistics has been examined in the article. The importance of information and communication technologies in this type of educational activity is determined. There are three levels of students’ information and communication activities depending on the development of the students’ information competence and the involvement of information and communication technologies as the main and auxiliary resources for writing a course paper. Adaptive, productive and creative levels of information and communication activities are highlighted. The type of the above-mentioned student actively engages various online platforms for surveys, classifications and processing of the source base of research, etc. It is stressed that information resources are mostly used at the preparatory stage and less in the final one. The need to create a single information base of linguistic resources has been emphasized.

Published: November 2021

This paper will identify some of the barriers and challenges in teaching English early in Indonesia. We believe that teaching English as a foreign language has many obstacles and challenges that must be raised and published so that all parties with interest in teaching foreign languages ??in Indonesia, especially in early childhood, will receive enlightenment. So, we have first received much input from various data sources that we access electronically. All of our data is related to the purpose of this study, and we analyze it with a descriptive qualitative design under the control of a phenomenological approach so that the results will be valid and reliable findings. Based on the discussion of the findings, we can conclude that many teachers are often hampered by a lack of enthusiasm, limited study schedules, teaching resources, inadequate materials, and excess students in class. On the other hand, students have shallow learning motivation and very few skills related to learning English as a foreigner. Therefore, this is an insight for many parties who work in succeeding in English teaching in Indonesia.

Published: November 2021

Impatience with the prevailing wage system - due to its components that place too much emphasis on non-monetary rewards and too much emphasis on age and seniority - is evident among young workers. The Directors strongly felt that the growing pool of trained workers in the city did not fit into the current system of relations in the factory. These feelings are expressed both in training programs intended to instill traditional values ??and in prevailing recruitment procedures. There are no examples of other types of tension and anxiety-caused by lagging the current factory system from (to) the changes taking place. In society at large - rather than the role of women in Japanese companies. Perhaps more than any other interaction. The relationship between men and women in Japan is very different from what has developed in the West. Perhaps more than any other type of relationship, the changes caused and accelerated by the events of the last years have influenced the roles, attitudes and behavior of Japanese women. The resulting tensions were evident in factories and in the offices of large Japanese companies.

Authors: Rusfian Effy Zalfiana , Alessandro Jodie Daffa
Published: November 2021

Social media advertising currently has an impactful influence on the customer response toward a brand or a product. Marketing activities that occur on the brand's social media sites are also the main reason for generating brand equity and influencing customer response. The followers that are included on the social media sites of the brand are the customers that follow the latest information about the brand’s product, price, and promotion. Consumers look for information about specific brands on these social media sites, especially Indonesian local brands. Furthermore, these websites have a great influence on consumers' purchasing intentions. The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of social media marketing campaigns (SMMA) on consumer response (CR) through brand equity (BE).and analyze what type of content is shared and preferred by social media users This study uses a mixed-method approach by using Explanatory Design. This study showed there is a positive relationship between SMMA towards CR. BE has the influence of mediation for SMMA and CR. The study also showed that value proposition branding on a social media advertisement properly could improve the consumer response. The results of this research can be used as basic data for local branding marketing strategies.

Published: November 2021

Politeness is very important in communication to maintain a harmonious relationship between the speaker and the speech partner and to avoid conflict. Politeness is a way to maintain and save the face of the speaking actor. A positive politeness strategy in speaking frankly with pleasantries is the speaker's effort in expressing polite behavior in the form of language. The focus of this research lies in positive politeness strategies in speaking frankly with pleasantries in the Tondano Javanese community. This study aims to describe and explain positive politeness speaking strategies used by the Tondano Javanese people who live in Kampung Jawa Village. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection is done by listening, recording, and taking notes. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the theory of politeness strategies by Brown and Levinson (1987), which is related to the concept of 'face'. The results show that the Tondano Javanese people use ten positive politeness strategies and these strategies are used in speech situations when the interlocutor is lower or equal in power to the speaker, and the relationship between the speaker and the speech partner is familiar.

Authors: Stepanova Liubov Iurevna , Shchukina Daria Alekseevna
Published: November 2021

The concept of a thesaurus is examined in the article; the importance of creating individual author's thesauri for a better understanding of the linguistic personality of the writer and his worldview reflected in the units of the language system is determined. This provides the opportunity to conduct the diachronic study of the language and make comparative analyzes of various writers' idiolects, etc. The individual author's picture of the world in Bazhov’s tales using the method of comparing formal and functional thesauri proposed by L. Gasparov is examined in the article. This approach made it possible to determine the features of the language system of Bazhov's tales with the functioning of such lexical units in it that contribute to the understanding of the niche occupied by the lexical-semantic field “precious metals and stones” and other interacting spheres in this picture of the world including natural-geographical and everyday spheres, professional and mythopoetic spheres.
Digestive impact of cow when ingest plastic waste
Authors: Ashok K. , Babu M. , Jula V. , Mullai Nila K.
Published: November 2021

Plastic ruminal impaction is a disorder that allows the ruminant ruminants to aggregate in indigestible plastic foreign bodies contributing to impacted ruminations, indigestibility, chronic tympani, and many others. The ruminants are fed indigestible plastic waste products without discrimination. In the urban regions of the developed world, the disease is mostly found in stray animals. The chemicals in the rumen, which are absorbed in the food chain by milk or meat products, are steadily discharged in the rumen. The harm to human wellbeing is done by these substances. Currently, the only alternative is to detect and treat ruminal impaction due to plastic materials in ruminants for exploratory rumenotomy. Good animal husbandry methods and proper handling of waste plastic are included in the control mechanisms. The present study examines in detail and illustrates its effect on public health on epidemiology, pathophysiology; detection, care, prevention, and regulation of ruminal impaction caused by ruminant plastics.

The study states that the spread of Sufi teachings in Crimea in the 13th-15th centuries should be considered as a display of the continuous recursiveness of spiritual culture. The prerequisites for apperception are developing as a result of the formation of an institutional matrix, the basis of which was the union of the so-called nomadic empires and Hellenistic states. Maintenance of the Khazar heritage, the impact of the Hellenistic culture, and recursive practice contributed to the spread of Sufism. The atmosphere of the Golden Horde became a certain “fertiliser” for the establishment of the social structure and development of the spiritual life of the medieval Turkic world. The research highlights the specifics of Jochid rulers’ attitude towards Christians. The study describes the role of the first Muslim rulers in the development of new religious traditions of the state, the spread of the Arab-Muslim educational model in the Crimean ulus, the impact of Sufi brotherhoods on the socio-cultural development of Crimea and the influence of prominent Sufis on the ruling elite. In conclusion, the apperception of Sufism is an organic, tradition-based perception of doctrine as the basis of the medieval Crimea’s ideology.

Acting is an ancient art form that has existed since time immemorial. Acting as a creative activity is one of several types of performing arts, and they all have three common phases of development; training/preparation, rehearsal/practice and performance. In addition, any study of the performing arts must take into account the reality that a performer is always embedded in the contextual environment and participates in one or more of the three phases of development. Acting in modern cinema remains an activity that involves instantaneous interaction with others, while maintaining the ability to draw from personal past experiences and imaginations about oneself, others and/or the environment. The purpose of this study was to identify the features of acting in cinema and to identify the difference with the work in the theatrical environment. The main methods of this study were analysis and comparison. Although theatrical and cinematographic traditions represent stylistic and aesthetic differences, the actor's training and the concepts of the play are more similar than contradictory. What crosses time, culture and the environment is the need to train the actor.
