Предаване на ἀ-privativum в старобългарския превод на Oratio XXXIX (CPG 3010.39) на Григорий Богослов
Authors: Тасева Лора
Published: April 2024

The article studies the Old Bulgarian parallels of the Greek words with ἀ-privativum in the translation of Gregory the Theologian’s Oratio XXXIX, which was made in the first third of the 10th century. The correlates are systemized and considered in the context of other translated works of the early period of the Slavonic written heritage, on the basis of the data reflected in Slovník jazyka staroslověnského and its Řecko-staroslověnský index as well as in other 18 dictionaries to sources they do not cover. The comparative analysis offered allows for generalizations and conclusions in two directions. On the one hand, the material of Oratio XXXIX enlarges the list of translation correlates for words with ἀ-privativum with Greek words not registered for the period and their transponents as well as with non-filed counterparts of registered Greek lexemes. Some of these enrich the known word-formation nests with new derivates while others add non-witnessed stems to the translation paradigm. They all broaden the knowledge of the translation potentials of the literary language whose norm is still in a process of construction. On the other hand, some peculiarities are revealed, which could well be interpreted as local or individual translation markers: a) a relatively large number of correlates with preposition без or prefix без- in relation to those with не-, which is related with the Preslav origin of the translation; b) several transponents which do not belong to the word-formation nests which are habitual to the given Greek stems and which, at this stage, seem to be unique translation decisions; c) a relatively frequent usage of substantivated active participles (more often present ones) which are correlates of Greek participles, adjectives or adverbs, but are rendered by adjectives, present or past passive participles in the other texts observed.

Published: April 2024

Numerous studies have proven the pronounced mutual influence of both respiratory and intestinal viruses, which is often expressed in the suppression of one virus by another. The mechanism of interference is most often considered from the standpoint of multifactorial, it is related to the stimulation of specific products in infected cells, in particular interferons, which inhibit the replication of other viruses. At the same time, among the mechanisms of viral interference, RNA interference has attracted great interest among researchers. The microRNA system regulates many processes in eukaryotic cells, similar elements have been found in viruses. Viral microRNAs are capable of both enhancing viral infection and suppressing it. At the same time, despite the significant successes of experimental medicine, the mechanisms of viral interference remain not fully elucidated and require further, first of all, fundamental research.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are posing a challenge to public health, globally. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of three STIs in married women, clinical characteristics, and their associated risk factors. A cross-sectional study was performed among married women who attended the Gynaecological Hospital in Zakho City, Iraq from October 2021 to April 2022. A total of 150 high vaginal swabs were collected from each subject aged between 18 and 48 years (32.64 years ±8.01 SD). DNA was extracted from swabs to determine STIs using Multiplex Real-Time PCR. The frequency of STIs was 26 out of 150 (17.33%). Chlamydia trachomatis accounted for 17 (11.33%), Trichomonas vaginalis 7 (4.66%), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae 2 (1.33%). The highest rates of C. trachomatis, T. vaginalis, and N. gonorrhoeae were reported among young age groups. The level of education (p=0.043) and type of contraceptives (p=0.01) were identified as potential risk factors for T. vaginalis. The number of births (p=0.001) and using contraceptives (p=0.02) were reported as major risk factors for N. gonorrhoeae. Abnormal discharges (p=0.004), vaginal itching (p=0.03), painful intercourse (p=0.04), genital ulcers (p=0.03), and bleeding in the urine (p=0.001) were significantly associated with infections. The frequency of STIs was low in symptomatic patients but high among the reproductive age group. Education level, contraceptive usage, and number of births were identified as potential risk factors. Early detection of these factors is crucial for improving women's health.

Published: April 2024

Bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium ST651ea, ST7119ea, and ST7319ea, were previously isolated from traditional Korean fermented soybean paste and identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and appropriate biochemical and physiological tests. Growth conditions for bacteriocin production by E. faecium ST651ea, ST7119ea, and ST7319ea were optimized regarding the inhibition of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium VRE19 of clinical origin, and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC15313 as a reference strain. When cultured in MRS broth for 24 h, E. faecium ST651ea, ST7119ea and ST7319ea produced 3200 AU/ml, 6400 AU/ml, and 6400 AU/ml, respectively, at 37oC, and 1600 AU/ml, 3200 AU/ml and 3200 AU/ml, respectively, at 30oC against E. faecium VRE19. MRS medium compositions were modified based on inclusion, exclusion, and/or replacement of components for optimizing the production of bacteriocins by these strains. Bacteriocins produced by E. faecium ST651ea, ST7119ea, and ST7319ea showed higher activity at 37oC after 15h with 20 g/l galactose replacing D-glucose and in setups containing organic nitrogen sources of only 10 g yeast extract/l and 15 g peptone/l in modified MRS. The bacteriocin produced by E. faecium ST651ea yielded 6400 AU/ml and 25600 AU/ml activity against E. faecium VRE19 and L. monocytogenes ATCC15313, respectively. For E. faecium ST7119ea results were 12800 AU/ml and 51200 AU/ml and for E. faecium ST7319ea were 12800 AU/ml and 51200 AU/ml against E. faecium VRE19 and L. monocytogenes ATCC15313, respectively. Based on the type and availability of different carbohydrates and organic nitrogen sources production of bacteriocins by E. faecium ST651ea, ST7119ea, and ST7319ea was reduced by up to 50%.

Published: April 2024

Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated nuclease 9 (Cas9) targeted genome editing system has already modernized plant science research and has been used to provide resistance sources against plant viral diseases. In this study, we have used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to introduce sequence-specific targeted gene silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana to successfully engineer complete resistance to Chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCuV). We proposed the multiplex type sgRNA (short guide) with CRISPR/Cas9 to increase the effective control against IR and Rep gene of DNA-A of ChiLCuV. Highly conserved regions having PAM (Protospacer Adjacent Motif) sequence were selected to design sgRNA cassette and inserted into binary vectors. This cassette was used to transform N. benthamiana by the leaf disc method and further transgenic plants were challenged with ChiLCuV and screened for resistance. Our results suggest that the resistance shown in N. benthamiana against ChiLCuV is quite stable.

The highly transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2, Delta (В.1.617.2) and Omicron (В.1.1.529), emerged as "variants of concern" (VOCs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the confirmed SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron cases among the patients of Uni Hospital (Panagyurishte, Bulgaria). A total of 240 samples out of 2,373 PCR-positive samples collected from COVID-19 patients for the period from 1st July 2021 to 4th February 2022 were analyzed at NCIPD by whole genome sequencing to determine the viral variant. The Delta variant was confirmed for 103 patients, while Omicron for 137 patients. The analysis showed that 6/103 of the Delta variant cases belonged to hospitalized and unvaccinated patients with comorbidities, at a mean age of 68.8 years, two of whom had a lethal outcome. The Omicron cases were mainly in ambulatory patients (136/137), with only one hospitalized. The largest number of Omicron infected patients were in the age group of under 20 years; respectively, this age range had the lowest number of Delta variant cases. The Delta variant was the dominating SARS-CoV-2 variant in the period July 2021 - December 2021; however, it was subsequently displaced by Omicron domination. COVID-19 associated mortality remains one of the most important clinical outcomes.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar como os cigarros eletrônicos afetam a saúde bucal de seus usuários e quais alterações o seu uso provoca.  A metodologia foi realizada com uma pesquisa ativa nas bases de dados: PUBMED, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde Brasil (BVS-BRASIL), SCIELO. Após a pesquisa dos  Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS), foram selecionados: "Cigarros Eletrônicos" AND "Tabagismo" AND "Nicotina", de maneira que na PUBMED, por ser uma biblioteca em língua inglesa, foram utilizados "Electronic Cigarettes" AND “smoking” AND "Nicotine".Em seguida, tais palavras foram truncadas de acordo com o radical comum a ambos os idiomas e aplicadas a cada base de dados considerada (BBO, Cochrane, Embase, Lilacs, Pubmed e Scielo), seguindo-se, para isto, uma estratégia de busca previamente estabelecida. Foram considerados os últimos 10 (dez) anos em cada base até Setembro de 2023. Foram encontrados 12 artigos, que contemplavam os idiomas português e inglês, e destes, 6 foram excluídos por não apresentarem coerência com o tema do trabalho. Foram utilizados para a construção deste trabalho 6 artigos, sendo 5 revisões de literatura, e 1 pesquisa.Dentre os estudos utilizados, alguns deles afirmam sobre os malefícios dos CEs tanto a cavidade oral, quanto ao corpo humano como um todo. Outros confirmam que o uso dos cigarros eletrônicos não é uma forma de tratamento plausível para combater o uso de cigarros convencionais, e que os CEs possuem relação direta com a alteração da saúde periodontal.  Observou-se que mesmo o cigarro eletrônico sendo proibido, continua sendo muito utilizado pela população jovem.Observou-se que o uso constante do cigarro eletrônico causará vários tipos de adoecimento para o organismo. Necessita-se de maior conscientização aos Jovens, além de um maior rigor na fiscalização do consumo.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
The motivation of this research is related to the use of QRIS in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM) in Semarang District. QRIS is a digital payment tool introduced by Bank Indonesia in 2019. The Government's initiative in launching QRIS is to make it easier for people who prefer digital payments, especially young people in Indonesia. The use of QRIS itself is increasing every year. The Governor of Bank Indonesia stated that more than 90% of UMKMs in Indonesia have used QRIS. The benefits of using QRIS for UMKM are faster payment processes, no need to prepare for money returns, increased sales turnover, easier settlement process, and financial discipline. The model used in this study is the Technology Accepted Model (TAM). TAM is a method to measure individual reception to the use of information technology systems. This research uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM) are used as populations in this study. In the sample selection, the researchers conducted the dissemination of the questionnaire with two events, namely online and offline. The samples obtained after the implementation of disseminated questionnaires and according to the conditions of the research sample are as many as 210 UMKM. Further, SmartPLS version 4 software is used for data processing. The findings from this study are that product knowledge variables significantly affect the use of QRIS. Perceived usefulness variables have also been found to influence the use. The same thing was also found in the perceived ease of use variable. Other findings that are backward related to the perception of risk variables. On this variable, it has been found that there is a negative influence against the use, so, it can be concluded that UMKM in Semarang district is still afraid related to financial risk as a result of the QRIS use.

Published: April 2024

Objective: In recent years, the existing problems in higher education institutions on one hand, and the increase in competition among these institutions for attracting students on the other hand, have seriously challenged their capacity fulfillment. Considering the popularity and development of social networks and their marketing capabilities, this research aims to identify a model that can enhance the brand of higher education centers. Methodology: This study was conducted in four stages (the first two stages qualitatively and the next two quantitatively) using a mixed approach. Initially, through scientometrics, relevant and authoritative documents and articles related to brand enhancement in educational centers were identified, and the most important actions were recognized through qualitative content analysis and inferential methods. Then, using a quantitative approach, the related model was identified through fuzzy screening validation and fuzzy cognitive mapping method. The methodology of this research is applied in nature, mixed in the qualitative part, and descriptive-survey in the quantitative part. The qualitative section's population was documents and records, and in the quantitative section, experts were targeted, with samples collected purposively in both sections. Findings: As a result, the qualitative part identified nine essential factors, with "recognition" determined as the initial action and "strategy and management style" as the final action based on the derived model. Conclusion: Therefore, it is necessary for stakeholders (researchers, research centers, and related organizations) to pay more attention to these two areas. One of the main reasons for advancements in international educational centers has been the focus on social media marketing and, of course, branding and brand management.

Construction of the Chinese Image Through Frame Theory
Authors: Zhang Yunxin
Published: April 2024

"Divas Hit the Road: Silk Road" transcends the conventional framework of official media in constructing the Chinese image. It shifts from a communication approach primarily focused on "self-construction" to prioritize "other-construction," while still incorporating "self-construction" in a secondary role. This shift presents a more diverse perspective of the Chinese image. Additionally, the presences of well-known actors and celebrities with a huge fan base also play important roles in international communication and the construction of the Chinese image. The show has received unanimous praise from audiences and has a wide-ranging overseas influence. It is broadcast across various social media platforms worldwide, achieving remarkable reach and impact. Upon investigation, it is observed that frame theory is mainly utilized in analyzing news events rather than variety shows. Therefore, this study adopts a case study method along with a text analysis method, employing a three-level analysis that categorizes frames into high, medium, and low levels, to analyze the Chinese variety show "Divas Hit the Road: Silk Road." The research found that the program represents a successful transformation of travel variety shows, not only breaking the "homogenization" dilemma of variety shows but also broadening the international audience's understanding of China, playing a positive role in the construction of the Chinese image.
Epileptic Seizure Detection by Cascading Isolation Forest-Based Anomaly Screening and Easy Ensemble
Authors: J B Dr.Shajilin Loret
Published: April 2024

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal-based emotion recognition has attracted wide interests in recent years and has been broadly adopted in medical, affective computing, and other relevant fields. Depression has become a leading mental disorder worldwide. Evidence has shown that subjects with depression exhibit different spatial responses in neurophysiological signals from the healthy controls when they are exposed to positive and negative. We focus our analysis in the main aspects involved in the recognition process (e.g., subjects, features extracted, classifiers), and compare the works per them. We propose the emotional activation curve to demonstrate the activation process of emotions. The algorithm first extracts features from EEG signals and classifies emotions using machine learning techniques, in which different parts of a trial are used to train the proposed model and assess its impact on emotion recognition results. The primary objective of this project was to improve the performance of emotion recognition using brain signals by applying a novel and adaptive channel selection method that acknowledges that brain activity has a unique behavior that differs from one person to another and one emotional state to another. The result shows that our proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of classifying depression patients emotion as positive and negative

A helyi televíziózás kihívásai Magyarországon
Authors: Deés Szilvia
Published: April 2024

A helyi televíziók országszerte a maguk többmilliárd forintnyi eszközparkjával, az általuk foglalkoztatott többezer emberrel az ország egyik legnagyobb közszolgálati tartalmakat is előállító médiavállalkozásai, noha legtöbbjük csak minimális vételkörzetben, heti alig néhány órás saját szerkesztésű adással jelentkezik. Annyi szerkesztett műsort gyártanak közönségüknek, amennyi esemény a településen történik. A folyamatban levő technológiai változások, a médiakonvergencia, a digitalizáció, az új platformok születése, és az ezt (ki)követelő fogyasztói, nézői attitűdök változásai együttesen olyan környezetet alakítanak ki a helyi televíziók körül, amely változást követel meg tőlük az életben maradásához. Vajon maradhat-e a nézettségét egyébként mérni nem képes helyi televíziózás a lineáris sugárzás mellett, vagy érdemes azt inkább online felületekre költöztetni, átalakítva a szerkesztőségi munkát is? A válasz a nézőhöz való viszonyuk, az új platformok használatában látszik, amelyet néhány a területen úttörő média már meglépett. Ennek a kihívásnak a hátterét és tapasztalatait mutatja be a cikk.
Dinamikus képességek kialakulásának vizsgálati keretrendszere
Authors: Farkas Tamás
Published: April 2024

A dinamikus képességek irodalma az üzleti tudományok egyik kiemelkedő jelentőségű kutatási területének tekinthető. E képességek támogatják a szervezeteket abban, hogy stratégiai szintű változásokat tudjanak eszközölni, amelyekkel képessé válnak arra, hogy reagáljanak a környezeti kihívásokra. Bár a terület irodalma széleskörű, a képesség kialakítása még kevesebb figyelmet kapott. Mind a dinamikus képességek, mind azok kialakulása útfüggő, abban számos egyedi jellemző figyelhető meg, ugyanakkor azokban hasonlóságok azonosíthatóak. A dinamikus képességek kialakulása szervezetektől függetlenül három fő szakaszban valósul meg. Az első szakasz az egyéni szint, a megalakulás időszaka, amikor összeállnak azok az egyének, amelyek a kialakítást végezni fogják. A második az emberközi, interakciós szakasz, ahol a képességet létrehozó egyének egymással interakcióba állnak. A harmadik és utolsó szakasz az érettség szakasza; ekkorra már nem csak egyéni és egyénközi, de szervezeti szinten is értelmezhető dinamikus képességet tudott az adott szervezet előállítani.
Technológiával könnyebb, de milyen áron? – A technostressz jelenségének vizsgálata, különös tekintettel a felsőoktatás fogyasztóira
Authors: Kincsesné Vajda Beáta
Published: April 2024

Bár a technológia fejlődése sok lehetőséget nyújt a szolgáltatásnyújtás folyamatainak fejlesztésére és a fogyasztók bevonásának javítására, természetesen nemkívánatos hatásai is vannak, ezek egyike a technostressz. Mivel a magyar nyelvű szakirodalom jelenleg igen szegényes e jelenség feltérképezésében, e tanulmány egyik célja a technostressz fogalmának, szerepének, elméleti alapjainak nemzetközi szakirodalom alapján történő ismertetése. A technostresszorok (techno-invázió, techno-túlterhelés, techno-komplexitás, techno-bizonytalanság és techno-kiszámíthatatlanság) a felsőoktatás szereplőire is hatással vannak, és kutatásuk a tekintetben is különösen fontos, hogy az utóbbi években az oktatási tevékenységek közül számos került az online térbe. A felsőoktatás fogyasztóinak véleményét két fókuszcsoport-interjú segítségével kezdtük feltárni, e korai eredmények szerint az egyetemi hallgatók az oktatás online folyamatainak kapcsán az előnyök mellett valóban észlelik a technostresszorok valamennyi típusának jeleit, különös tekintettel a techno-túlterhelésre és a techno-komplexitásra.
A nemfogyasztók szerepe a fenntartható csomagolás elterjedésében
Authors: Maksimovic Ágnes , Törőcsik Mária
Published: April 2024

A fogyasztók számára egyre fontosabb az élelmiszerek és a háztartási termékek csomagolásának környezeti hatása. A fenntartható csomagolás iránti igény növekszik, mivel a műanyagok és a műanyag csomagolások életciklusához kapcsolódó káros környezeti terhelés egyre nagyobb mértékben jelentkezik. Jelen tanulmány célja a nemfogyasztók véleményének megismerése a csomagolóanyagokra vonatkozóan, kimutatni körükben a környezettudatos megítélés elterjedtségét. Az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy a nemfogyasztók pozitív attitűddel álltak a műanyag csomagolás csökkentéséhez, előnyben részesítik az újratölthető kulacs használatát a műanyaggal szemben, illetve preferálják a papír csomagolást. Megállapítottuk, hogy a nemfogyasztók közvetlen környezete is befolyásolhatja csomagolóanyag megítélésüket, különösen a műanyag csomagolás esetén. Az eredmények alátámasztják azt az állítást, hogy a nemfogyasztók számára fontos a fenntartható csomagolás, így feltételezhetjük, hogy a nem anyagi okból történő lemondásuk mögött környezeti megfontolás is áll. Az eredmények arra is rámutattak, hogy a nemfogyasztók fontos szerepet játszanak a fenntartható csomagolás elterjedésében. Megállapításunk segíthet a szakértőknek a fogyasztói igények és preferenciák megértésében, ami kulcsfontosságú lehet a fenntartható csomagolások kínálatának további terjedésében.
