The Interrelation between Obesity Management and Climate Change in Greece
Authors:   Consultant Engineer, 107B El. Venizelou str., 73132, Chania, Crete, Greece, Vourdoubas John
Published: August 2024

Two major global problems of our era are climate change and obesity. Both are interlinked and interconnected having undesired social, economic, environmental impacts as well as harmful impacts on human health. The rate of obesity and overweight in children and adults in Greece is high compared to other EU countries causing many health, social and economic problems. Climate change is foreseen to have severe and harmful impacts in Greece as well as in other Mediterranean countries altering the climate conditions. Obesity and its treatment mitigate climate change, mainly due to the change in the dietary pattern of the treated patients. The proposed diets for managing obesity, based on Mediterranean dietary patterns, have less GHG emissions and lower climate footprint. Climate change makes more difficult the treatment of obesity, mainly due to the rising temperatures. Climate change has undesired and harmful impacts on obesity treatment in Greece while obesity treatment results in the mitigation of climate change in the country. Future policies for climate change mitigation and managing obesity in Greece should take into account their mutual interconnections and interlinkages in order to maximize their effectiveness in treating these two severe pandemics in the country.

Published: August 2024

In this research, the researcher investigates how the audience understands and interprets aspects of mystical phenomena contained in the movie "Badarawuhi di Desa Penari". These mystical phenomena can include various elements, such as local beliefs, myths, or spiritual practices presented in the context of the story. The research will focus on how the representations of local traditions and social norms presented in the movie influence the audience's perception of the culture. In knowing the perception, the researcher uses Alex Sobur's cognitive theory to explore the meaning that exists in the audience. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method that allows a more detailed explanation of the principles found. The data was collected through in-depth interviews in person and online via WhatsApp with the informants. This research reveals that continuous exposure to horror films can influence viewers' perception and increase their susceptibility to believing in the supernatural elements portrayed in these movies. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that individual beliefs vary and should be respected. Horror films can serve as a window into the cultural beliefs and practices surrounding supernatural phenomena in different societies. Therefore, it is paramount to always respect and value the local beliefs of the community, regardless of one's location.

Authors: Wiratno Esa Prasetyo , Rozi Fakhrur
Published: August 2024

This research analyzes the impact of the local language campaign conducted by Prabowo Gibran through the TikTok account @fillixpratama25, which demonstrates adaptation to digital trends and the preferences of young voters. Unlike previous studies that focused on political image and campaign strategies in other contexts, this research offers a new approach by emphasizing the use of local language on TikTok. The methodology used is a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm, utilizing field research methods. Data was collected through direct observation, document analysis, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. Critical discourse analysis by Teun A. van Dijk was used to understand how local language in this campaign builds or undermines social dominance and reflects power structures. The results of the study indicate that the use of local language and a relaxed communication style create emotional closeness with the audience, increase political awareness among young voters, and leverage the viral potential of TikTok to expand the reach of political messages. This campaign combines media ecology theory and social media campaign theory, highlighting how new media transforms the political communication environment and enables more direct interaction between politicians and the public. The conclusion shows that adaptive strategies in using social media with relevant local languages can strengthen the connection between candidates and voters, increase political awareness, and open new opportunities in political communication in the digital era.

Alterações morfológicas e status oxidativo induzidos pela exposição subcrônica ao clorpirifós em Artibeus lituratus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
Authors:   , Neves Pedro Henrique Costa
Published: August 2024

O clorpirifós é um pesticida organosfosforado que se configura como um dos mais utilizados no Brasil nos últimos anos. Devido a diversos aspectos fisiológicos e ecológicos, morcegos se configuram como animais silvestres que acabam entrando em contato direta ou indiretamente com pesticidas utilizados em cultivos agrícolas. Esse contato acarreta danos sobre a saúde, reprodução e conservação das espécies afetadas. O objetivo desse estudo foi mensurar os efeitos causados pela exposição oral subcrônica do clorpirifós em morcegos frugívoros neotropicais. Morcegos machos adultos da espécie Artibeus lituratus foram capturados com redes de neblina, e, após período de aclimatação, divididos em dois grupos experimentais: grupo controle (CT) (n=7), alimentados com frutos sem tratamento e o grupo Clorpirifós (CP) (n=8), alimentados diariamente com frutos tratados com uma calda de Capataz ® (ingrediente ativo clorpirifós: 480,00 g/L; 48,0% m/v) a 15mL/L (dose comercial, recomendada pelo fabricante). Após 14 dias de tratamento, os animais foram eutanasiados e os tecidos foram coletados e devidamente armazenados para análises do status oxidativo, histológicas e hormonais. Os resultados mostraram que a exposição ao clorpirifós causou redução da atividade enzimática da catalase (CAT) no tecido hepático, aumento da atividade de glutationa s-transferase (GST) testicular e aumento na concentração de proteínas carboniladas (PC) no tecido renal. Na histologia renal foi observado redução do epitélio tubular e da área glomerular dos animais tratados com clorpirifós, assim como aumento de ocorrência de infiltração leucocitária, congestão vascular e marginação leucocitária. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a exposição ao clorpirifós em doses ambientalmente relevantes foi capaz de gerar alterações deletérias no status oxidativo e aspectos morfológicos de morcegos frugívoros. Palavras-chave: Pesticida; Ecotoxicologia; Estresse oxidativo; Histopatologia; Morcegos.

Effect of Social Interaction on the Use of Mobile Payment Apps in Karnataka, India for 16 to 18-year-olds
Authors: Adrakatti Nidhi , Bidwell Frances
Published: August 2024

This study looks at how the rural-urban divide and social influence (a factor that affects behaviour) impact mobile payment app use in 16-18-year-olds after the demonetization in India in 2016. The study uses participants from a Tier 1 city - Bangalore - and a Tier 2 city - Belgaum - both of which are located in Karnataka, India. A comparative quantitative method was used with the help of an online survey. A correlation coefficient was calculated from the data gathered, which helped us to conclude the level of influence one's surroundings may have on the use of mobile payments. In conclusion, it was found that social influence has a positive correlation with the use of mobile payments. However, the influence was not large enough to conclude that social influence is one of the major factors affecting mobile payment app use. Further research could find the correlation coefficient between mobile payment app use and all the other factors (listed in the paper) to find which has the most effect.
Automated College Application Essay Grading
Authors: Zhang Rinah , Malkov Stepan , Mbua Peter
Published: August 2024

In recent years, computer programs used to score essays have been explored extensively, with many different approaches being developed. Most of these approaches use Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques (Ade-Ibijola et al., 2012), a field of machine learning often used to analyze and understand text. These approaches fall under the name of Automated Essay Scoring (AES), which typically assesses essay quality with a single score (Ke and Ng, 2019). This paper proposes a natural language processing (NLP) model which predicts the quality of a college application essay, which is proximally measured through a college’s acceptance rate. Key essay factors include the number of grammar mistakes, sophistication of writing, repetition, and the text of the essay. Multiple different models were tested. A Random Forest Classifier relying solely on grammar, sophistication of writing, and repetition metrics achieved the best performance, yielding an accuracy of 89.7%. The second-best model was a combination of an LSTM and a logistic regression model. Other models significantly underperformed, yielding accuracies in the range of 40%-60%. Ultimately, our model may help a number of students going through the college application process to understand where their essay may stand compared to other students.
Increasing the Solubility of Glipizide Through Changes in Molecular Structure
Authors: Kumar Tanisha
Published: August 2024

Glipizide is a drug that is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which accounts for 90% of all cases of diabetes mellitus. Glipizide is a drug with poor solubility in water and therefore is not the best agent to be utilized in treating this condition. In this paper, new derivatives of glipizide were created to have a version of the molecule with higher solubility and more bioavailability as a result. Therefore, the objective of this investigation is to improve the solubility of glipizide in water. With the new derivatives found, glipizide can become more water soluble and therefore more easily accessible to the body to be used in the treatment of diabetes. Derivatives 1, 3, 4, and 5 have logP values of -0.23, 0.85, -0.93, and 0.01 respectively. These are much lower than the logP value (1.55) of glipizide. The derivatives are more bioavailable and therefore will require a smaller dose to have the same effect.
The Boundary Problem Reconsidered
Authors: Ye Yaqian
Published: August 2024

In recent years, political philosophers have devoted growing attention to the questions of political obligation. The debate mainly centers on the question “Is there a moral duty to obey the law?” Political obligation refers to a moral obligation to obey the laws of one’s state, and therefore the question may also be “Do we have political obligations?” At present, there are various theories offered to respond to this question, though none arereceiving widespread consensus.
In this paper, I am going to answer the question “Is there a moral duty to obey the law?” I will defend functionalist theories of political obligation against two well-known objections: the problem of unilateral annexation and the problem of historical injustice.  In Section 1, I will explain what functionalism is. In Section 2, I will explain the main objections against it. In Section 3, I will undermine these objections by showing them to depend on untrustworthy intuitions. In contrast, I will show that the case for functionalism can be made without relying on similarly untrustworthy intuitions. Section 4 is the conclusion.
The Application of Convolutional Neural Networks in Organ-on-a-Chip Technology: A Review
Authors: Anderson William , Sarmadi Morteza
Published: August 2024

Recent developments in microfluidics and biomaterials have enabled the creation of organs-on-chips (OoCs), which provide a controlled and lifelike in vitro microenvironment resembling an actual organ. Organ-on-a-chip technology offers a tremendous opportunity for efficient, cost-effective, and ethical drug testing and research. However, the high throughput and large quantities of data these complex microenvironments produce make it difficult for researchers to effectively analyze the data and draw valuable conclusions. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are most aptly positioned to address many of OoC’s challenges because of their ability to interpret microscopic images and facilitate the analytical process. Despite the growing field of AI, there have been a limited number of studies summarizing the various applications of CNNs in OoCs. This review aims to provide 1) an overview of the technology involved with CNNs and OoCs 2) an insight into the state-of-the-art applications of CNNs in OoCs including device parameters, predicting and tracking cell trajectories, super-resolution image segmentation, and image classification, and 3) an overview of existing challenges and opportunities ahead for clinical translation of this technology. Various applications of CNNs have been classified by the type of task. Different CNN models such as Faster R-CNNs, fully convolutional networks (FCNs), and Mask R-CNNs are explained and highlighted. This review article can be used as a resource for a better understanding of the potential of CNNs in biomedical research and clinical applications, particularly OoCs.
THE PATERNUS PLATE AND ITS SYMBOLISM
Authors: RUSCU Dan
Published: August 2024

The Paternus Plate and its Symbolism. The eucharistic
disk attributed to bishop Paternus of Tomis is a well-known artifact of the 6th cen
tury. Since its discovery in 1912 it was approached from several perspectives, going
from the evolution of the late antique and early Byzantine art to the study of the
foreign policy of the Eastern Roman Empire. The present study takes into discus
sion the symbolic significance of its decoration and reads it in the larger context of
the artistic evolution of Byzantium before iconoclasm. Regarded in the context of
the silver patens of the 6th century, the central monogram of Christ on the Paternus
plate reveals itself as representing more than just an ornament. For the believer it
had a clear symbolic significance: it represented Christ himself offering him the
Communion. The central motive was also connected to the border decoration, con
taining eucharistic symbols familiar to the contemporary viewer from several re
ligious texts and discourses. Regarding such a eucharistic artifact with eusebeia,
the 6th century believer was introduced into a salvific atmosphere, allowing him a
glimpse into eternity.
CONTINUITÀ LESSICALI, CONTINUITÀ E DI¬SCON¬TI¬NUITÀ SEMANTICHE E SIM¬BO¬LI¬CHE NELLE HISTORIAE ABBREVIATAE DI AURELIO VITTORE
Authors: ZUGRAVU Nelu
Published: August 2024

Lexical continuities, semantic and symbolic continui
ties and discontinuities in the Historiae abbreuiatae of Aurelius Victor.
The vocabulary of the writings of late Antiquity is a significant indicator of the
semantic and symbolic adaptations and changes absorbed by certain lexemes in har
mony with the changes that occurred in the sphere of the historical reality of referen
ce. At the same time, it allows us to evaluate the way in which the authors perceived
them and adapted them to their own political visions and moral conceptions or
religious options. There are important contributions in this sense. Following this di
rection of philological and historical analysis, we propose an original approach be
low, that is, to examine a series of terms taken from the work Historiae abbreuiatae,
or Caesares, by Aurelius Victor which, on the one hand, reveals both the persistence of
some elements of classical political thought, and the emergence of a specific political
culture of late Antiquity, expressed through a renewed semantics of traditional
words, while, on the other hand, it reveals some elements of the historical conception
and ideological orientation of the author. In this text we will analyze concepts from
the sphere of Roman citizenship (civis, urbs, Vrbs Roma), the denomination of the
state (res publica, res Romana, status Romanus, imperium, imperium Romanum),
social orders (populus, Quirites, plebs, uulgus) and the ideological and spiritual foun
dations of power (auctoritas, libertas).

Published: August 2024

Public relations (PR) play an essential role in political campaigns in Nigeria. This study examines the use of public relations in political campaigns in Nigeria and its impact on political communication. Political campaigns in Nigeria have evolved from door-to-door meetings and rallies to sophisticated campaigns that use public relations techniques such as media relations, social media, public speaking and other related tactics. Public relations strategies used in political campaigns in Nigeria include agenda setting, issue creation, image building and crisis management. Political campaigns also use media gatekeepers to influence news production and build a positive public image. This study highlights the positive and negative impacts of PR on political campaigns in Nigeria, including increased voter turnout, use of propaganda, polarization and political violence. The methodology that will used to achieve this objective, qualitative research design will be employed. Qualitative research methods are useful in exploring complex phenomena, understanding social processes, and generating in-depth accounts of experiences, attitudes, and behaviors. The study concluded that while public relations is critical to the success of political campaigns in Nigeria, it must be used ethically and responsibly. In addition, political campaigns must be open and fair and must not use propaganda, polarization or violence to gain political power. Finally, five recommendation was suggested.
Da servidão à liberdade
Authors: Scholz Caio Cezar
Published: August 2024

Para pensar a questão: “afinal, qual é a tese da tua Tese?”, este percurso teórico cumpre a pretensão de propor uma abordagem eminentemente filosófica acerca do aprender, a fim de fornecer-lhe uma consistência conceitual e, consequentemente, afirmá-lo como um acontecimento que ocorre em um movimento que leva da servidão ao vislumbre da liberdade. Para tanto, primeiro, o aprender é pensado como uma noção pressuposta e subjetiva na filosofia antiga e na medieval, a partir de recortes das filosofias de Platão, de Aristóteles e de Tomás de Aquino; depois, na modernidade, ele ascende ao protagonismo filosófico, ao ser colocado como um problema, no percurso que leva do primeiro Discurso (1973) ao Emílio (1999), de Rousseau; e, por fim, na contemporaneidade, ele transita da via do problema para a via do conceito filosófico, a partir da filosofia da diferença de Deleuze e impulsiona pesquisas acadêmicas no âmbito da educação e áreas correlatas. Assim, tal percurso é composto por meio de ressonâncias entre as filosofias de Rousseau e de Deleuze, amparados pela perspectiva teórica da literatura de Cândido e pela narrativa literária de Exupéry, em um cenário caracterizado pelo entrelace da ética com a política. Nesse sentido, este estudo promove a abertura de um espaço para pensar o aprender por outras vias, para além do ensinar, da educação e de suas áreas correlatas. Além disso, também contribui para abrir outras linhas de interpretações das obras de Rousseau e de Deleuze, na medida em que, por um lado, investiga possíveis influências de Rousseau no pensamento de Deleuze e, por outro, incentiva uma leitura dos textos de Rousseau por meio do modo próprio de fazer filosofia proposto por Deleuze. Como fundamentação teórica, este estudo se encontra amparado pela bibliografia primária de Rousseau e de Deleuze, pela bibliografia secundária de comentadores e linhas de interpretações consolidadas de ambos os autores e de pesquisas acadêmicas atuais acerca do aprender.
"O que quer uma mulher?"
Authors: Rosa Miriam Izolina Padoin Dalla
Published: August 2024

Em resposta à questão “afinal, qual é a tese da tua Tese?”, esta tese afirma que a parrhesía se contrapõe à submissão e ao sofrimento psíquico, possibilitando a invenção e a expressão da feminilidade, seja por meio da palavra falada ou escrita. Portanto, estuda o conceito de parrhesía relacionado com a mulher, por meio das práticas do franco-falar sobre si, que são operadas em sua construção da feminilidade. Suas principais referências bibliográficas são os últimos três cursos desenvolvidos por Foucault e textos psicanalíticos de Freud a Lacan. Seu objetivo é discutir os enigmas da feminilidade a partir da questão posta pela clínica psicanalítica “O que quer uma mulher?”, em sua articulação ao conceito de parrhesía elucidado por Foucault.

Ao final, a Tese discute o gozo suplementar como próprio da sexualidade feminina, sustentando uma posição de abertura para o ‘querer’ da mulher, manifestado em ato por meio da parrhesía.
O fetichismo como pressuposto da crítica da economia política em Karl Marx
Authors: Lima Gerson Lucas Padilha de
Published: August 2024

O propósito central deste texto é explicitar e problematizar a questão: qual é a tese da tese? O fetichismo corresponde à ideia de inversão mística da sociedade capitalista. Isto é, os indivíduos apreendem de forma distorcida a realidade sócio-histórica contraditória em que são gestadas de forma alienada a produção e reprodução de suas vidas na sociedade civil burguesa. Deste modo, a organização social aparece como algo mágico, misterioso, ocultando seu conteúdo essencial, tendo assim a função social de legitimação material e ideológica da dinâmica contraditória do capital, influenciando efetivamente a ação dos indivíduos no seu dia a dia na sociedade. O fenômeno do fetichismo, embora apareça explicitamente tematizado em O Capital (obra de maturidade de Marx), uma abordagem dialética (portanto, não apenas nominalista) que busque apreensão das determinações operantes da ideia mostra sua presença na totalidade da obra e, igualmente, no processo geral de constituição da sociedade capitalista. Todavia, a abordagem dialética da dinâmica histórica do real aponta para a possiblidade concreta de sua superação, mediante a práxis revolucionária dos indivíduos socialmente organizados, a fim da instauração da emancipação ou o reino da liberdade. Tal empreendimento humano não se constitui em uma utopia abstrata, ilusória, vislumbrada a partir de uma hipótese exterior à realidade vigente. Contrário senso, a perspectiva da revolução socialista é perspectiva a partir das potencialidades concretas que estão abafadas, bloqueadas na imanência contraditória da sociedade vigente. Apenas nessa sociedade emancipada os indivíduos terão possibilidade de vivenciar, no dia a dia de suas vidas, a liberdade, a igualdade de justiça concreta, que se estabelecem de forma fetichizada, abstrata, na sociedade burguesa. Desse modo, na sociedade comunista os indivíduos, livres das travas sociais vigentes na sociedade capitalista — as classes sociais, o estado burguês, e os demais complexos fetichizados existentes —, poderão desfrutar do desenvolvimento integral dos atributos humanos efetivos existentes.

A Smart Farm Monitoring and Control System using Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Ndubueze Herbert Otuosorochi
Published: August 2024

Agriculture is one of the most important sector that accounts for economic growth in the developing countries of the world. Many developing countries are now focusing on agricultural development, yet the sector is not without challenges including climate changes, drought, flooding to mention but a few. These result in poor yield of agricultural products. In this work, we l developed a robust smart system to enhance both irrigation and flooding monitoring and control, leveraging on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to boost agricultural production. In the system’s implementation, Arduino based instrumentation, integrated with temperature, soil moisture and water level sensor shall be adopted to monitor the agricultural environment, while reporting the status wirelessly through the Radio Frequency (RF) modules to the base station. The base station will evaluate the received data and either activates or deactivates the irrigation or drainage pump using specified threshold values. The remote reporting the state of farm shall be done by deploying a 900Mhz transmitter interfaced with the system’s controller. This work shall be validated using an experimental test bed, which shall be used for field experiments, data collection and evaluation. The result of the work shall highlight the potentials of WSN technology in monitoring and control technology of both irrigation and flooding within the farm and in turn boost productivity

Child labour is the most inhuman evil practices in the society .The main aim of the study is to create awareness among employment of children in urban cities. India is sadly the home to the largest number of child labourers in the world. The census found an increase in the number of child labourers from 11.28 million in 1991 to 12.59 million in 2001. M.V. Foundation in Andhra Pradesh found nearly 400,000 children, mostly girls between seven and 14 years of age, toiling for 14-16 hours a day in cottonseed production across the country of which 90% are employed in Andhra Pradesh. For instance, political opponents often reach opposite conclusions from the same facts, and editorial cartoonists often exaggerate facts to make their point. First, the "assertion" may be spoken, written, pictured, or maybe gestured. For the purpose of the study, descriptive research is used. Descriptive research helps to accurately portray the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or group. Convenience sampling method is used in this study to collect the samples. When population elements are selected for inclusion in the sample based on access is called convenience sampling. The statistical tool used is graphical representation .The total number of responses collected in the survey is around 200. It was found that the constitution makes it mandatory for the Government to protect and promote freedoms, and to assure every citizen a decent standard of living. In this study Children are actually future components inside the shape of awesome instructors, scientists, judges, rulers, docs, planners, engineers, politicians on whom the complete society founded (rests). Unfortunately tens of millions of kids are deprived of their childhood and right to training and there via they're subjected to exploitation and abuse. The age of the kid has been in another way described in different laws. The final outcome of the study is that the government has to strict the existing laws to ensure and safeguard the children from being exploited and discriminated against in the name of employment.
JOHN MEARSHEIMER’S REALISM AND THE UKRAINIAN CRISIS
Authors: Zhumatay  , Yskak  , Omarov
Published: August 2024

The paper sheds light on the ongoing debate around the Ukrainian war in American and Western scholarship, the focus is especially on John Mearsheimer’s views on the Western perception and attitudes towards Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine. An in-depth critical analysis of Mearsheimer’s essay titled “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault” published in the aftermath of the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 and his other works have shown that putting the blame on Putin and demonization of Russia for the Ukrainian crisis is a dominant and prevailing discourse in the West. In this ongoing debate, John Mearsheimer seeks to change such narratives viewing them as one-sided and biased, forcefully and persuasive ly arguing that the Western nations led by the United States are to blame for this international crisis that has led to military conflict in Ukraine. The prime cause of the Ukrainian conflict according to Mearsheimer, lies in the eastward expansion of NATO since the 1990s, which is seen by Russia as a grave threat to its national security. Another reason of why there is a bitter tension between the West and Russia is that the American and European leaders’ beliefs of international politics are shaped and guided by a flawed view in which they tend to trivialize realis m, contemporaneously subscribing to liberalism, a school in international relations theory that dominates the discourse about the Transatlantic security. Although Mearsheimer’s realist stance and views about the Ukrainian war and European security do not constitute mainstream discours e in the West, they contribute to a proper understanding of this international crisis from the perspectives of realism.

«Жұмсақ күш» туралы мақалада американдық саясаттанушы Джозеф Най алғаш рет 1990 жылдардың басында ұсынған тұжырымдамаға талдау жасалады. Жұмсақ күш мемлекеттің немесе басқа субъектінің әскери күш немесе экономикалық мәжбүрлеу арқылы емес, мәдени, саяси және сыртқы саяси құралдар арқылы басқа елдердің мінез-құлқы мен қалауына әсер ету қабілетін білдіреді.Жұмсақ күш мәжбүрлеудің орнына тарту және сендіру қабілеті ретінде анықталады. Ол зорлық-зомбылық пен мәжбүрлеу шараларына сүйенетін қатал күшке қарсы тұрады. Сонымен қоса, мақалада жұмсақ күш қолданудың тарихи мысалдары талданады, мәдени дипломатия және бұқаралық ақпарат құралдары мен технологиялар арқылы оң ұлттық имиджді насихаттау сияқты соңғы мысалдар қарастырылады.Қазіргіхалықаралық саясаттағы жұмсақкүштің рөлі жаһандану және өзара тәуелділіктің артуы, сондай-ақ оның әртүрлі мемлекеттердің сыртқы саясаты мен дипломатия мен халықаралық ынтымақтастықтың жаңа формалары үшін маңызы тұрғысынан талданады. Мақалада жұмсақ күш заманауи халықаралық аренада елдерге мәжбүрлеу мен агрессиядан гөрі тарту және ықпал ету арқылы өз мақсаттарына жетуге мүмкіндік беретін маңызды құралға айналғаны атап өтілген.
