Authors: Tuyet Le Thi , Anh Dao Duong Thi , Trung Thu Nguyen Thi , Hong Hanh Nguyen Thi , Thuy Dung Le Thi , Binh Tran Quang
Published: February 2024

Objective: Obesity is a complex disease that involves interactions between environmental and genetic factors in its pathogenesis. The aims of this present study were to analyse the overall effects of some nutritional, physical and genetic factors with childhood obesity, and to build predictive models of childhood obesity.Material and Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 559 Hanoi primary school children (278 obese cases and 281 normal controls). Genetic analysis was performed to evaluate genotype on the rs6265 gene BDNF, rs6548238 gene TMEM18, rs6499640 gene FTO, and rs17782313 gene MC4R. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis were conducted to compare the two groups of children, so as to draw conclusions regarding influencing factors and to establish predictive models of obesity for Hanoi primary school children.Results: Factors increasing the risk of obesity found included: urban living areas (odds ratio (OR)=1.5), caesarean section (OR=2.1), high birth weight (OR=1.9-3.1), parental overweight and obesity (OR=2.1-5.1), short night sleeping times (OR=2.6), characteristics of child feeding; including early weaning (OR=2.1), gluttony (OR=19.1), no snacking (OR=2.4), controlled eating (OR=2.4) fat food hobbies (OR=2.7), and CC rs6548238-TMEM18 genotype (OR=1.8). A predictive model of childhood obesity for Hanoi primary school children was built, based on the BMI of parents, gluttonous characteristics, unrestricted eating with ROC=0.871.Conclusion: Childhood obesity develops as a result of interaction between eating habits, lifestyle characteristics of the child and genetic characteristics inherited from over nutritious parents. Encouraging parents to manage both their own weight and their children’s eating habits such as allowing children to consume food without undue restriction and reducing gluttony can serve as effective interventions to diminish the prevalence of childhood obesity within the community.
The Apian Pharmacopeia
Authors: Silverman Chloe
Published: February 2024

This article describes the pharmaceuticalization of honeybee health, a process that has accelerated alongside growing beekeeper concerns about unexplained colony losses over the past nearly two decades. Despite their uncertainty about the causes of colony loss and the role of pesticide exposures in rendering bees vulnerable, many entomologists agree that controlling populations of parasitic mites in bee colonies is the key to bees’ survival, making mite infestations a primary target for medical interventions. The pharmaceuticalization of honeybee health means that beekeepers need to track drug administration to prevent toxic interactions, avoid overuse, and reduce resistance. This means not only managing those chemicals intentionally applied, but also those ferried in from outside the colony, notably pesticides and fungicides. Medicalizing a range of husbandry practices like supplemental feeding and mite treatment has become a way to regulate beekeepers’ use of medicine as well as encourage it, making medicalization, paradoxically, a means of encouraging restraint.
Rationale for the Atlas of Genealogical Diagrams of the Lord Jesus Christ’s Family According to the Flesh. Old Testament Period
Authors: Мушкетова Александра
Published: February 2024

Исследовано родословие Господа Иисуса Христа от Адама, Иакова и его сыновей Левия и Иуды в Ветхозаветный период на основе Священного Писания и святоотеческого наследия, и разработаны генеалогические схемы. На пути построения реальной генеалогической ветви Господа Иисуса Христа встречается много неясностей, называемых в экзегетике «путаница», «развязывание узлов» и т.д. В процессе моделирования схем по методу инженерной системотехники были найдены решения некоторых из них. Новизна работы состоит в создании единого комплекта генеалогических схем, аналога которому ещё не было. Пользование этим Библейским атласом вносит ясность в понимание родственных отношений в земной семье нашего Небесного Создателя и Спасителя, и может служить наглядным пособием при изучении Священного Писания.

The genealogy of the Lord Jesus Christ from Adam, Jacob and his sons Levi and Judah in the Old Testament period was studied on the basis of the Holy Scriptures and patristic heritage, and genealogical diagrams were developed. On the way to constructing the real genealogical branch of the Lord Jesus Christ, there are many ambiguities, called in exegesis «confusion», «untying of knots», etc. Some of them have been resolved in the process of designing the diagrams using the method of systems engineering. The novelty of the work lies in the creation of a single set of genealogical diagrams, which has no analogue yet. The use of this Biblical atlas brings clarity to the understanding of kinship relationships in the earthly family of our Heavenly Creator and Savior, and can serve as a visual aid in the study of the Holy Scriptures.
The Ladder of Spiritual Ascent in the Reflection of the Divine Hymns of St. Simeon the New Theologian
Authors: Рупова Розалия Моисеевна
Published: February 2024

Автор статьи предлагает взглянуть на Божественные гимны прп. Симеона Нового Богослова в расширенной перспективе. Она утверждает, что они — не только чисто поэтические произведения, отражающие чувства души, переживающей целый спектр состояний — от отчаяния богооставленности до потрясений в моменты встречи с Богом. В статье представлено обоснование гипотезы, что Божественные гимны являются еще и редким примером поэтического выражения полноты аскетического опыта. Включенность гимнов прп. Симеона в число текстов, репрезентирующих мистико-аскетическую традицию Восточного христианства, породило исследовательскую задачу: сопоставить путь духовного восхождения, представленный в них, с другим аскетическим руководством — «Лествицей» прп. Иоанна Синайского. Сравнение этих двух систем пастырских наставлений для подвижников привело к выводу, что методика прп. Симеона Нового Богослова — яркий пример творческого усвоения и развития Традиции, свидетельство того, что аскеза, по сути, есть творчество и не может не быть таковым в силу исключительно личностного характера процесса Богообщения, составляющего ее стержень.

The author of the article suggests looking at the Divine Hymns of St. Simeon the New Theologian in an extended perspective. He argues that they are not only purely poetic works, reflecting the feelings of the soul, experiencing a whole range of conditions — from the despair of God-forsakenness to upheavals at the moments of meeting with God. The article presents the rationale that the Divine hymns are also a rare example of the poetic expression of the fullness of ascetic experience. The inclusion of hymns Simeon among the texts representing the mystical-ascetic tradition of Eastern Christianity gave rise to a research task: to compare the path of spiritual ascent presented in them with another ascetic guide — «The Ladder» of St. John of Sinai. A comparison of these two systems of pastoral instructions for ascetics led to the conclusion that the methodology of St. Simeon the New Theologian is a vivid example of the creative assimilation and development of the Tradition, evidence that asceticism is essentially creativity and cannot but be so due to the exclusively personal nature of the process of Communion with God, which is its core.

Authors: LARIONOVA Katerina , KAPINOS Hennadii
Published: February 2024

In this article, we single out the main characteristics of the bank's profit and examine its constitutive elements as well as its sources of formation. It’s pointed out that profit management plays a key role if a bank is to operate successfully. We also suggest our definition of profit management in banking, its purpose, and its main objectives . The article provides a detailed analysis of the financial performance of Ukrainian banks in 2020-2022 and identifies the main factors that negatively affected the amount of profit in 2022. The main factor behind the decline in the profitability of domestic banks was a significant increase in provisions for losses incurred and expected because of the war. Despite the hardships of the war, the banking sector remains operationally efficient and continues to be profitable. The article states that under the current circumstances, it is rather difficult for banks to increase their activities, so the main factor in a bank’s profitability is cost reduction. However, the results of the analysis showed that in 2020-2022, revenues consistently exceeded expenses and during this period we noticed steady growth in bank revenues. The article analyzes the main indicators of profitability of the banking sector of Ukraine in 2020-2022. The main trends that have occurred over the past three years in the domestic financial market have both directly and indirectly affected the financial results of the Ukrainian banking system.

New Ideas About the Structure of Reality, or How to Connect Relative Motion With an Absolute Reference Frame and Describe Relativistic Effects Without Einstein’s Postulates
Authors: Nawrot Witold
Published: February 2024

The paper presents a new approach to space-time problems that is completely different from the approach used for over 100 years. The essence of the changes are two new ideas that can be treated as a complement to the theory of relativity. The first is the description of reality as a four-dimensional Euclidean space. What we observe as space-time dimensions are directions in objective (Euclidean) space, and these directions are not constant but depend on the pair of bodies – the observer and the observed body. Depending on the choice of body pair, the same direction in objective Euclidean space can be interpreted as a temporal or spatial dimension of the observer’s coordinate system. The new model allows the body to be described directly as a wave and allows for a connection of the ideas of absolute space and the relativity of motion. The second idea binds the transmission of signals (quanta) to the systems of sending and receiving particles. As a result, the motion of the quantum is always constant in the system of the sending and receiving particle. This justifies the constancy of the speed of light regardless of the relative velocity of the bodies. Quanta are no longer independent particles but are disturbances of particles, which are treated as waves.

The proposed changes simplify the description of relativistic phenomena, eliminate the need to apply Einstein’s postulates by introducing mechanisms describing the relative motion and propagation of quantum, bind the description of relativistic and quantum phenomena by describing bodies directly as waves, extend the range of phenomena described within one model and solve many problems impossible to solve within the theory of relativity.

The paper compares the descriptions of particular problems in the Theory of Relativity with the descriptions of the same issues in the new model. In most cases, the predictions of both models are similar, but the differences in the construction of the models give different conclusions in some cases, which is the basis for proposing specific experiments allowing verification of the proposed approach. Some of the proposed experiments can be carried out with the use of existing experimental devices.

Quaternion Quantum Mechanics: The Baryons, Quarks, and Their q-Potentials
Authors: Marek Danielewski , Sapa Lucjan
Published: February 2024

The results presented here are based on the Planck-Kleinert crystal concept. The rigorous use of quaternion algebra allows postulating the scalar, vectorial, and quaternion propagators in the ideal elastic continuum. The propagators are used in constructing the proton, electron, and neutron 2nd order partial differential equation systems, PDES. The results generate the two 2nd order PDES for the \(u\) and \(d\) quarks from the \(up\) and \(down\) groups. It was verified that both the proton and the neutron obey experimental findings and are formed by three quarks. The proton and neutron are formed by \(d\)-\(u\)-\(u\) and \(d\)-\(d\)-\(u\) complexes, respectively. All particle PDES comply with the Cauchy equation of motion and can be considered as stable particles. The u and d quarks do not meet the relations of the Cauchy equation of motion. The inconsistencies of the quarks' PDES with the quaternion forms of the Cauchy equation of motion account for their lifetime and the observed Quarks Chains. That is, they explain the Wilczek phenomenological paradox: "Quarks are Born Free, but Everywhere They are in Chains".

Published: February 2024

Climate change that occurs in Indonesia, especially in the upstream and middle Citarum areas is marked by changes in rainfall. In addition to the phenomenon of climate change, an increase in the number of people that occur in an area will have an impact on land cover changes that will affect river flow, so the dominant parameters that cause changes in the flow between changes in rainfall and land cover changes need to be reviewed. This study aims to determine the effect of changes in rainfall and land cover changes on flood discharge and the shift of flow duration curve. The author chose 4 SUH methods, namely SUH Nakayasu, SUH Soil Conservation Service (SCS), SUH ITB-1 and SUH Snyder-Alexejev to analyze high flow, and 2 methods, namely the F.J. Mock and NRECA methods to analyze low flow. The results of the research analysis are land changes that occur does not have a major impact on changes in the value of runoff coefficient, flood discharge analysis for Cikapundung-Pasirluyu sub-watersheds found that changes in flood discharge are dominated by changes in rainfall.

Context: Quality of life, in general terms, can be considered as the perception of expectations and ways of thinking about their satisfaction with life. Due to the accumulation and variety of their functions, such as workload, environment and work demand, teachers are exposed to major psychosocial risks, which can trigger overload and make them susceptible to work stress, which can lead to mental exhaustion and consequently lead to the depression. Objective: To analyze the quality of life (QoL) and depression in health professors at a public university in the state of Sergipe. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 146 professors in the health area of the Federal University of Sergipe. Three data collection instruments were used, the Whoqol-Bref, the Beck Depression Inventory and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data collection took place from February to November 2015. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. Results: Of the 146 professors evaluated in the health area, 58.2% were female, with a mean age of 44.44 years. The majority worked in an exclusive dedication regime (52.05%), and were dissatisfied with the conditions (70.5%) and salary remuneration (78.8%). Most professors had a positive perception of their quality of life (84.9%) and were satisfied with their health (67.8%). The prevalence of professors with depression was 29.5%, most of which were mild. Conclusions: Professors, in the majority, were satisfied with QoL and health. However, the prevalence of depression was high and there was an association with QoL, dissatisfaction with work conditions and leisure activities. Greater attention to professors in the health area by university management is recommended, with a view to developing health promotion actions in the university environment.

Authors: Putri Jona Widhagdo
Published: February 2024

Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, plays a crucial role in the region and contributes significantly to the regional bloc's stability, economic growth, and diplomatic initiatives. The archipelago serves as a pivotal anchor within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), stipulating political leadership and strategic direction over the years. Indonesia fosters trade and investment within the region, as seen from Indonesia's role in completing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) negotiation, the largest free trade agreement in the world involving ASEAN and several trading partners such as China, Japan and South Korea (The ASEAN Secretariat, 2023). Indonesia promotes dialogue and cooperation to address regional challenges such as trans-boundary issues, security concerns, and environmental sustainability. Indonesia is also currently one of China’s most important partners in Southeast Asia. China is now Indonesia's largest trading partner and export market, with China's official data showing that in 2022 the bilateral trade reached $149.1 billion, up 19.8 percent year-on-year. In the same year, China was the second-largest source of investment in Indonesia in 2022, with $8.2 billion (Duqiang, 2023). In addition, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has played a major role in supporting infrastructure development in Indonesia. Both nations continue to engage in high-level diplomatic dialogue and seek common ground on various regional and global issues. This article attempts to show the role that Indonesia plays as it continues to show the way for other ASEAN countries to navigate economic challenges and, at the same time, forge stronger ties with China. This article also examines the bilateral relationship between Indonesia and China and how it affects Indonesia’s capability to lead other ASEAN countries, especially after Indonesia’s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2023.

This paper introduces an innovative approach to forecasting stock prices. Forecasting stock prices is crucial in assisting investors in making informed decisions. Our research presents a unique method that utilizes transformer-based machine learning approach for stock price forecasting. This method exploits self-attention mechanisms to grasp intricate patterns and dynamics within historical stock price data. To bolster our model performance, we integrate investors’ sentiment collected from social media by using sentiment analysis with the help of natural language processing. Utilizing the variation caused by investors’ sentiment over time, as well as external macroeconomic factors, our proposed model outperforms benchmark models. Through extensive comparisons with various benchmark machine-learning algorithms, results produced by our proposed method are favorably comparable to those produced by conventional approaches. Across multiple machine learning models, our preferred model demonstrates superior performance, achieving an RMSE value of 0.96 compared to the RMSE value of 1.58 obtained from LSTM model.
The Impact of Regional and Segmental Factors on the Benefits and Risks of Venture Capital Financing
Authors: Nováková Barbora Marie
Published: February 2024

This paper presents an analysis of aspects of venture capital (VC) financing, focusing on risks and rewards, correlation with geographic location and industry. The results were obtained through statistical analysis of data from public startup databases and a questionnaire distributed to selected VC-funded startups. The aim of the paper was to analyze the risks and benefits of VC funding and the impact of regional and segment factors. The paper identifies the key benefits of VC funding as fast and flexible access to capital, while the key risks include loss of control over the business and high pressure on performance. The analysis suggests that the perceived riskiness of VC financing is strongly influenced by both geographic location and industry. Certain geographic locations were found to have an affinity for specific industries, suggesting regional specialization within the VC market. The paper reveals significant trends in funding, with the dominance of technology startups, business platforms and the HealthTech sector, and increasing activity in certain regions in recent years.

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an educational program based on educational tasks in Islamic education social values among ninth grade students. To achieve the goal of the study, a scale was built to measure social values. The study population consisted of 80 ninth-grade students from Janaa Basic School affiliated with the Directorate of Education for the First Zarqa Region for the 2023/2024 academic year. They were chosen intentionally and divided into two groups: the control group, which was taught in the usual way described in the teacher’s guide, and the experimental group, which was taught according to the educational program based on educational tasks. The researcher used the quasi-experimental method. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) between the two mean scores of the post-test performance of the study individuals on each of the areas of social values (cooperation, respect, honesty, freedom, altruism, and justice), and the areas of social values as a whole attributed to the teaching strategy variable in favor of the experimental group. In light of the results of the study, the researcher recommended the need to train Islamic education supervisors and teachers to build educational programs based on educational tasks, employ them in the classroom, and pay attention to social values.

The concentration of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), aluminium (Al), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) in spring waters in the vicinity of Kochani was investigated to ascertain the health risk exposure. Heavy metal water contamination is possible mostly due to wrongful human activities either industrially or residentially and exposure to toxic doses of heavy metals can cause acute and chronic diseases.
To examine heavy metal contamination of spring waters as well as possible seasonal variations, water samples in two seasons, autumn 2021 and spring 2022 were collected. For this aim, ten locations within the area of Kochani were selected. The spring water samples were collected directly from the source or from the catchment that was made. The samples were collected in appropriate bottles, previously washed with detergent and rinsed with distilled water. The examination of heavy metals was carried out immediately after sampling using UV spectrophotometric method, with an absorption spectrum of 190-1100 nm. The results have revealed no major deviations from the maximum concentrations allowed for Pb, Cd, Al, Mn, and Fe defined within the Official Guidelines in the Republic of North Macedonia, except moderately increased levels of lead in two samples during autumn season and manganese in four samples in the spring season 2022.

Enhancing Lexical Acquisition and Linguistic Proficiency via Technological Means
Authors: Al Ghazali Fawzi , Al Shamsi Aysha
Published: February 2024

The utilization of technological apparatuses affords a veritable wealth of authentic contextual opportunities for both the deliberate and serendipitous acquisition of lexicon. Notably, Online Mobile Dictionaries (OMDs) serve as instrumental tools, adept at fostering a profound comprehension and proficient utilization of vocabulary, all while imparting profound insights into its etymological origins and nuanced contextual applications. The principal objective of this scholarly inquiry is to discern the discernible impact wrought by OMDs in the realm of bolstering vocabulary acquisition. In pursuit of this overarching aim, meticulously structured experimental and control cohorts were assembled and subjected to rigorous pre- and post-assessment examinations. Additionally, a questionnaire was methodically disseminated to collect quantitative data, thereby affording the opportunity to delve into the students' nuanced perspectives on the integration of OMDs within the pedagogical milieu of language courses. The findings arising from this rigorous investigation resolutely buttress the proposition that the incorporation of OMDs within the context of language instruction engenders salutary outcomes. These outcomes are characterized by a heightened proficiency in discerning the derivational and inflectional facets of lexical entries, and a consequential amelioration in phonetic acuity. Furthermore, it is posited that the concomitant utilization of semantic mapping, in tandem with OMDs, represents a pedagogically astute strategy for the consolidation of learning. This synergistic approach is most efficaciously disseminated through the auspices of "Blended-Learning" platforms, thereby promoting learners' autonomy and facilitating a more nuanced comprehension of the linguistic terrain.
