Authors: Mikaeva S. A. , Mikaeva A. S.
Published: January 2023

Article describes the device and assembly of a medical recirculator used in the premises of medical and preventive institutions in order to reduce the amount of microorganisms contained in the air and prevent infectious diseases. The air temperature during operation should be from +10 to +35 °C. Humidity is not more than 80 % at +25 °C. When switching on the recirculator for a limited period of time, it is recommended to determine the minimum duration of its operation in such a way as to ensure at least four times the passage of the entire volume of room air through the recirculator. It is advisable to combine the inclusion of the recirculator with daily cleaning before the start of the operation of the room, since intensive microbiological air pollution may occur during the cleaning process. The paper presents the technical characteristics, operating modes of the recirculator, bactericidal efficiency of work on various types of microorganisms, information about the materials of manufacture of a medical device, electromagnetic emission, noise resistance and recommended values of spatial separation between portable and mobile radio frequency communication means and the recirculator.

Published: January 2023

Child labor is a form of violence and exploitation of children with economic motives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increasing percentage of child labor from 2.35 percent in 2019 to 3.25 percent in 2020. This is a consequence of the supply side of child labor, the economic factor behind the availability of child labor. This study aims to analyze the effect of poverty on child labor in Indonesia using data from the March 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) and binary logistic regression analysis. The results showed that the highest percentage of child labor was found in poor households, the lowest 25 percent of per capita expenditure. By conducting a robustness check, the resulting poverty status has a positive and significant impact on the opportunities for child labor in Indonesia. The influence of poverty on child labor opportunities is largely due to household economic factors.
ANALISIS PEMBAGIAN MANFAAT DANA BANTUAN OPERASIONAL SEKOLAH (BOS) TAHUN 2018 DI KOTA SEMARANG
Authors: Damanik Dwi Pitari , Hayati Banatul
Published: January 2023

BOS is a government program that aims to ease the burden on the community on education funding for quality compulsory education. This study aims to determine the distribution of benefits, the amount of average benefits and progress of the BOS subsidies among school groups based on the level of acceptance in Semarang City in 2018. This study uses Benefit Incidence Analysis (BIA) analysis techniques to see the distribution of benefits in the BOS subsidies at each level of education by combining data from the number of BOS subsidy recipients and the amount of BOS funds received at each level of education. The BIA results obtained are then interpreted in the Lorenz Curve (Lorenz Curve) to see the progress of the BOS subsidy policy. The distribution of the benefits of BOS spending for public SD, SMP and SMA is mostly enjoyed by the highest group. The distribution of benefits received by the first quintile of schools (schools with the fewest students) is less than 20% of the total BOS subsidies at each level of education.  Inequality mainly occurs at primary school levels because the Lorentz curve moves away from the equalization line. Meanwhile, the education levels for SMP and SMA are relatively more even.

This holistic study that combined access, depth, efficiency and stability proved that Ghanaian financial institutions are inefficient and there is instability as well.
Cohesiveness in Expository Writing by Saudi EFL Students
Authors: Al Khotaba Eissa
Published: January 2023

This research aimed to examine cohesive connectivity in expository writing by language and translation students at the University of Tabuk in Saudi Arabia. Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) list of cohesive devices was used to examine the cohesion of expository texts of language and translation students. The study examined the cohesive devices’ quality and their contribution to the quality of writing. This mixed-mode research included 34 participants. 30 undergraduates participated in the expository writing assignment and 4 EFL teachers participated in the semi-structured interview. Students were selected purposively. Expository written texts were the instrument used to collect data in this study. Results showed that students encountered cohesion and coherence problems in achieving written texts’ unity, particularly in assigning their concepts and implementing appropriate cohesive signals, punctuation, and spelling issues. Expository texts were examined for cohesion additives, adversatives, and causal and temporal devices. Results of the study showed that the existence and unnecessary occurrence of lexical items cause non-cohesive writing and influence its texts’ quality, meaning, structure, and unity. The researcher recommends as related to the results of the study that cohesion devices be incorporated into the teaching of writing.

Salp swarm and gray wolf optimizer for improving the efficiency of power supply network in radial distribution systems
Authors: Salman Ihsan , Saffer Khalid Mohammed , Safi Hayder H. , Mostafa Salama A. , Khalaf Bashar Ahmad
Published: January 2023

The efficiency of distribution networks is hugely affected by active and reactive power flows in distribution electric power systems. Currently, distributed generators (DGs) of energy are extensively applied to minimize power loss and improve voltage deviancies on power distribution systems. The best position and volume of DGs produce better power outcomes. This work prepares a new hybrid SSA–GWO metaheuristic optimization algorithm that combines the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and the gray wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm. The SSA–GWO algorithm ensures generating the best size and site of one and multi-DGs on the radial distribution network to decrease real power losses (RPL) (kW) on lines and resolve voltage deviancies. Our novel algorithm is executed on IEEE 123-bus radial distribution test systems. The results confirm the success of the suggested hybrid SSA–GWO algorithm compared with implementing the SSA and GWO individually. Through the proposed SSA–GWO algorithm, the study decreases the RPL and improves the voltage profile on distribution networks with multiple DGs units.

Magnesium-rich intermetallic compounds Gd5Cu5Mg13 and Tb5Cu5Mg13 – intergrowth variants with CsCl and AlB2 related slabs
Authors: Reimann Maximilian Kai , Pöttgen Rainer
Published: January 2023

The magnesium-rich intermetallic compounds Gd5Cu5Mg13 and Tb5Cu5Mg13 were obtained from direct reactions of the elements (induction melting) in sealed tantalum ampoules. Both compounds crystallize with the orthorhombic Y5Cu5Mg13 type structure, space group Cmcm and Z = 4. The polycrystalline samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The structure of the gadolinium compound was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data: a = 414.78(2), b = 1921.87(12), c = 2573.89(16) pm, wR2 = 0.0492, 1611 F
2 values and 77 variables. Refinement of the occupancy parameters revealed a small degree of Gd/Mg mixing for the Gd3 site, leading to the composition Gd4.93(1)Cu5Mg13.07(1) for the studied crystal. The Gd5Cu5Mg13 structure contains slabs of equiatomic GdCuMg, which are embedded in a magnesium matrix. From a geometrical point of view, one can describe the Gd5Cu5Mg13 and Tb5Cu5Mg13 structures as intergrowth variants of distorted W/CsCl and AlB2 related slabs. The most remarkable crystal chemical feature concerns the bcc like magnesium slabs with short Mg–Mg distances ranging from 300 to 342 pm.

Socialist Egalitarianism in Everyday Life of Secondary Technical Schools in Czechoslovakia during the Normalization Period (1969–89)
Authors: Šimáně Michal
Published: January 2023

This article focuses on the realization of official government regulations of egalitarianism policy in secondary technical schools, especially on the informal practice that was “quietly” tolerated by the communist regime. The research is based on the historiographical approach of the history of everyday life. The primary research method is the oral history method based on interviews with witnesses—teachers who worked at secondary technical schools in the period under review. Research using the oral history method is further supplemented by the study of period legislation, periodicals, and the study of archival materials obtained in the National Archives in Prague and the Brno City Archives. The study provides a unique illustration of the application of the policy of egalitarianism in the everyday life of secondary technical schools in the normalization period in Czechoslovakia. In particular, the witnesses’ recollections reveal a practice toward some students that went beyond government regulations and influenced their studies in various ways, including admission procedures, dealing with disciplinary offenses, graduation, and obtaining a school-leaving certificate.
Universities between Inter- and Renationalization: An Introduction
Authors: Hoelscher Michael , Schubert Julia
Published: January 2023

An inherent tension between the global and the national frame of reference defines the modern research university. This seems to be the conflicting diagnosis of two recently published volumes on the matter: In their book on The University and the Global Knowledge Society, David J. Frank and John W. Meyer (2020) link the spectacular rise of the university to its lasting claim to generate “universalized truths” (Frank & Meyer 2020). John Aubrey Douglass and others (2021), in contrast, paint a decidedly different picture. In their volume on Neo-Nationalism and Universities, Douglass and eleven co-authors trace how universities have increasingly come under pressure by a recent wave of neo-nationalism that has challenged the very idea of the global research university right to its core. In presenting these contrasting accounts, the two volumes raise a number of pressing questions for science studies and higher education research more broadly: How do recent developments of neonationalism and populism connect to the longer history of national interests in science as a tool at the hand of the state? How do such nationalist tendencies play into, or counter, the global expansion of the university? And finally, how can we secure the transnational and open idea of a university in times when the specific organizations as well as their cultural core are threatened by national governments? To engage with these questions, this Review Symposium brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars who discuss the two volumes and share their diverse perspectives on Universities between Inter- and Re-Nationalization.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the early results of rapid deployment aortic valves (RD-AVR) and aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) techniques.
Methods: Between December 2019 to May 2022, 104 patients were operated on with aortic stenosis by RD-AVR (N = 52) and AVNeo (N = 52) techniques. Patients with isolated aortic valve stenosis and aortic stenosis concomittant with planned other cardiac surgeries were included.
Results: The mean age of patients in the RD-AVR and AVNeo groups were 67.4 ± 7.8 vs. 62.9 ± 8.7, respectively. Aortic cross-clamp time in the RD-AVR group was 56.7 ± 23.3 minutes, while it was 104.1 ± 27.9 minutes in the AVNeo group (P < 0.001). Cardiopulmonary bypass time in the RD-AVR group and in the AVNeo group was 89.8 ± 27.6 minutes and 141.8 ± 36.7 minutes, respectively (P < 0.001). Permanent pacemaker become necessary in four patients in the RD-AVR group secondary to type 2 AV block. Paravalvular leak was observed in six patients, who underwent RD-AVR, while grade 2 central aortic regurgitation was observed in one patient in the AVNeo group. Hospital mortality was 8% in the RD-AVR group and 6% in the AVNeo group (P = 0.696).
Conclusions: AVNeo procedure is a feasible technique in all age groups of patients with successful hemodynamic results in the early postoperative period and with the advantage of not requiring anticoagulants. It also can be applied with other cardiac surgical interventions.

Published: January 2023

As the world intensifies efforts to mitigate the effect of global climate change, an on-line survey was carried out involving 1,081 wood products and furniture manufacturers in Malaysia. The main objective was to evaluate the level of awareness, extent of adoption, and challenges faced by these manufacturers in adopting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The survey found that large-sized companies were more receptive to adopting ESG practices, as opposed to the medium-, small-, and micro-sized companies. Respondents were apparently more responsive to environmental requirements, followed by governance, and finally the social factors. Within the environmental sphere, compliance with using certified and legal wood and wood products, waste management, and conformance to emission standards were well received among respondents. The survey revealed that market forces and legislative requirements were the two most important factors that enticed respondents to comply with the ESG practices; among those respondents who did not comply with ESG requirements, the primary deterrent factors include lack of awareness, no direct benefit from adopting ESG, and the high cost involved. The ESG compliance may transform the wood products and furniture industries into a more sustainable industry, offering equitable wages and green jobs while producing high value-added products.

Published: January 2023

Plant oils have been applied for numerous purposes. Developing the composition of oils through nanotechnology has become a requirement, whether from a medical or industrial point of view. In this study, nanoemulsions (NEs) of olive and peanut oils were evaluated. GC-MS was used to determine the saturated and unsaturated fatty acids contents in both oils. Based on the area %, cis-8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid (54.0%), myristic acid (30.7%), and arachidonic acid (23.1%) were the greatest constituents in peanut oil, while arachidonic acid (23.2%), cis-11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid (22.7%), and cis-11-eicosenoic acid (11.4%) were the greatest constituents in olive oil. TEM examination indicated that the diameter of peanut oil NEs (14.6 nm) was less than that of olive oil NEs (24.5 nm). Olive oil and its NEs exhibited more antioxidant activity than peanut oil and its NEs had IC50 values of 158.6, 102.5, 435.1, and 291.5 µg/mL, respectively. Negligible hemolysis was observed using olive oil, unlike peanut oil, while hemolysis based olive oil NEs was increased compared with hemolysis based peanut oil NEs, particularly at high concentrations of 600 to 1000 µg/mL. Molecular docking investigation offered the structure–activity correlation and binding modes of cis-8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid with Salmonella typhi (5ZXM) enzymes.

Published: January 2023

Today, in the field of science and technology, huge forecasting applications are used by scholars to forecast future values. Nowadays, using estimating the flood forecasting for peak flow discharges is very common for the risk assessment annually by quantitative data collections from different resources. The very famous and longest rivers of Pakistan i.e. Indus River and other rivers too like River Jhelum, River Kabul, and River Chenab are the prime sources of flooding. These rivers are the prime tributaries of the Indus River System. Pakistan's longest river, River Indus, is connected with the seven (7) gauge stations called Dams and barrages, and they are playing a vital role in the generation of electricity and also in irrigation for Pakistan. In this research paper, we calculated the flood risk for the Indus using the streamflow discharges on the daily basis. At present, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model is widely used to analyze these hydrological time series data. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) merges the potentiality of Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to work out problems of different kinds. For this purpose, we used the data for the years from 2002 to 2012 daily (6-months each year) streamflow period. In our analysis, the root means square error (RMSE) shows that the ANFIS model generated more satisfactory results than other models with minimum prediction errors. The ANFIS model is more reliable and has the feasibility of integrating the essence of a fuzzy system into the real world.1–28
Hydrology of the palmar state reserve, yucatán, México: hydrological budget of petenes
Authors: Batllori Sampedro Eduardo , Febles Patrón José Luis
Published: January 2023

Throughout the coastal zone of Yucatan state (Mexico), between the coastal sandbar, and the land with low dry forest, are the flooded low forest, mangroves, and swamps. It is within these swampy lands, where are found numerous arboreal islands or petenes (local name). It has been outlined that its importance is because the water contribution from springs to the basin. As a contribution to the knowledge of the petenes, it was developed a hydrological monitoring system to estimate the hydrological budget of a petén located 3 km southwest of the population of Sisal in the restoration zone of the Palmar Reserve, Yucatan. The analysis showed that the groundwater inflow represented 92 % of the total of inflow to the system, with the net precipitation representing only 6 % and the surface inflow 2 %. By the other side, the surface outflow represented 40 % of the total of the outflow of the system, the groundwater outflow 20 % and the evapotranspiration 40 %. The annual total balance resulted negative (it means fluxes out of the petenes) with a volume from storage of about – 129,288.28 m3. The springs in the interior of the petenes can become more determinant in the hydrologic balance of the community than the contribution of the pluvial precipitation, the hydrodynamics of swamps, or the influence of the waters of the sea.

Published: January 2023

The article presents a summary of the key findings from significant physicochemical parameters of drinking water, particularly screening for heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms for Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir. The drinking water quality is determined using the drinking water quality index (DWQI), which is based on turbidity, EC, Ca+2, and Mg+2. In Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir, drinking water security is significantly damaged continuously due to unsettling population growth and hasty waste sludge. In Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir, about 8% of the entire population has access to secured drinking water. Leading to a shortage of resources for safe and healthy drinking water, the residual 92 % is compelled to use contaminated water. Microbial contamination, turbidity, electrical conductivity, and hardness are the main sources of contamination since they are often released into water system supplies. About 60 to 70 percent of all malignancies are attributable to anthropogenic exercise-induced bone ailments. This study focused on the drinking water quality, sources of contamination, and water control methods in Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir. To confront the depressing water contamination stats of Jagheer Katkair, Muzaffarabad Azad Kashmir, there is an immediate commitment to implement preventative measures and treatment technologies.

Published: January 2023

The semi-arid region of Paraiba is devastated by extreme climatic conditions, in which the low index and the irregularity of the rains are factors of great negative impact for the development of the region. We found in rainwater collection systems, an important alternative for the region, which can increase the volume of water available to a municipality, for the same rainfall regime. Therefore, one of the main objectives of the study was to estimate the Potential Volumes of Rainwater Capture (VPC) for the urban area of ​​São João do Cariri. These volumes will be estimated based on the proposed use of the city's impermeable surfaces as rainwater catchment areas for non-potable purposes. Such an estimation is important for the adequate dimensioning of cisterns, in order to guarantee the supply of thenon-potablewater demands of the population during the dry season.
Names of an illegitimate child in modern Ukrainian language
Authors:   Odessà Polytechnic National University, Fomina Liudmyla , Senyk Hanna ,   Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the composition of the lexical-semantic group “names of an illegitimate child” in the Ukrainian language, in particular in dialects, as well as with the word-forming structure, etymology and semantic processes that take place in it. Special attention is paid to the history and etymology of the lexemes байстрюк, бастард and копил. The active use of the word байстрюк in the modern literary Ukrainian language, in particular in its colloquial version, is emphasized. It was found that the Ukrainian nominations of an illegitimate child represent a very diverse range of motivational models: ʻlocus of conception or of a birth of a child’, ʻthe lewd nature of the mother’s behavior’, ʻabnormal appearance of the child in the family’, etc. The lexical implementation of these models differs significantly in different regions of Ukraine. Borrowed mainly from the Polish language or through its mediation, lexemes to denote an illegitimate child show a wide phonetic and word-forming variation in the process of adaptation to the system of the Ukrainian language or — more narrowly — to the peculiarities of certain dialects. Most names represent pejorative connotative semes — rude, abusive; but sometimes they show sympathy for an illegitimate child.

On the ore-formational affiliation of gold deposits of the Beltau-Kuramin volcano-plutonic belt in Eastern Uzbekistan (according to thermobarogeochemical data)
Authors: Pavlun Mykola M.
Published: January 2023

Gold deposits in the Beltau-Kuramin volcano-plutonic belt (Eastern Uzbekistan) are traditionally considered mineral products of the volcanogenic-hydrothermal class of shallow formations. However, geological, geochemical, isotope-geochemical and precise thermo- barogeochemical studies of the physical and chemical conditions of their formation give reason to question their shallow nature. Comparison of the thermobaric conditions of ore-genesis, the chemical composition of the fluid’s aqueous and gas phases, the value of the paleotemperature gradient (ΔT/100 m) of the hydrothermal solutions of the Kochbulak and Kyzil-Alma deposits with those belonging to the medium-depth formation of the plutonic-hydrothermal class (Lyahov, 1988; Lyahov, Pavlun, Piznyur, Popivnyak, 1995) shows that there are much more similarities than differences with genotypic deposits of medium depths. Signs that call into question the shallow nature of gold deposits in the Beltau-Kuramin volcanic-plutonic belt include the following: interspersion of gold ore process and dike magmatism; high-medium temperature level of hydrothermal processes (> 390–200 °С); relatively high pressure in the mineral formation system (from 40 to > 58 MPa); a high content of Na+ and Cl– ions in solutions of fluid inclusions according to the data of triple water extractions and a significant predominance of Na+ over K+ (by two to five times); high and predominant content in the gas phase of the productive stage solutions of CO2 (up to 97 %) and CH4 (up to 45%); the presence in fluid inclusions at room temperature of a liquid phase of CO2 of relatively high density (up to 0.560 g/cm3); high purity of native gold of early generations; exclusively electronic electrical conductivity of galena; relatively insignificant paleotemperature gradient (ΔТ/100 m) in ore bodies of different morphology (15–20 °С/100 m for vein structures and 9–12 °С/100 m for ore-explosive ones). Geological data indicate a large erosion section of ore-conjugated morphostructures, which is at least 2000–2500 m, depending on the depression or domed nature of the volcanic morphostructures. At shallow depths of the formation of the syn-ore paleosurface, the gold deposits would have been completely eroded, while in the modern erosion section there is a large scale of vertical mineralization. Ore-formation correlation of gold deposits in Eastern Uzbekistan increases the prospect of deep horizons of these deposits, as well as gold-bearing areas and ore occurrences, where prospecting and evaluation work will be carried out.
Development of demographic processes in the Fergana region of Uzbekistan: yesterday, today, tomorrow
Authors: Temirov Zokirjon A.
Published: January 2023

In the world, the living conditions and health of the population have a certain impact on demographic processes. High population growth rates cause demographic problems. As a positive solution to these problems, a number of international organizations, including the United Nations Population Fund, have set the main task of «improving the lifestyle of the population and ensuring sustainable development» (https://www.unfpa.org/world-population-trends). These tasks include studies aimed at identifying and evaluating the features of the development of demographic processes in densely populated areas, the factors influencing them, and developing a forecast. In the world, priority is given to research in this direction, especially to determine the territorial features of population regeneration, improve public health and life expectancy, study the impact of economic and social development of regions on demographic processes. It is also important to determine the unique geodemographic situation due to the influence of natural and economic, socio-geographical and other factors on the population of the regions, factors influencing the development of demographic processes and their territorial characteristics, to improve the scientific basis of regional demographic policy and directions of development, and develop special programs . This article highlights the territorial features of the development of demographic process- es in the regions of the Fergana Valley in 1991-2020, developed forecast parameters up to 2040, and presented important conclusions.
Entre o saber e o poder
Authors: Pereira Pedro Bruno Lima
Published: January 2023

A proposta desta investigação bibliográfica é identificar em algumas das principais obras dos teóricos Michel Foucault e Paulo Freire, aproximações em suas linhas de pensamento no que se refere aos conceitos de saber e poder, utilizando-se do modelo de educação brasileira como objeto de questão. A inquietação foi levantada ao ser observado pelo pesquisador um conflito de ideias ao teorizarmos uma educação crítica e dialógica, no sentido de Freire, mas que pratica a disciplina e a penalização, no sentido de Foucault; que diz defender a igualdade, a justiça e a democracia, no sentido de Freire, mas possui um ensino dual, classificatório e excludente, no sentido de Foucault. As leituras nos possibilitaram apresentar contribuições teóricas de ambos os autores ao denunciarem a necessidade de ser romper as relações de poder no espaço escolar, incentivando a busca de uma educação como prática da liberdade. Chegamos à conclusão que é uma discussão corajosa problematizar o discurso de Foucault na perspectiva da educação libertadora de Paulo Freire, pois nos aproximamos, infelizmente, do debate de uma evolução insignificante na história da educação brasileira, mas, por outro lado, nos ajuda a pensar, desvelar e reinventar o espaço social na perspectiva da luta e da resistência às práticas de dominação escolar.
Evacuation of PCIA Officers to the Mordovian ASSR in 1941: Qualitative Analysis of the Management Team
Authors: Bogatyrev Eduard D. , Kistanov Sergey V.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to the nomenclature analysis of the command leadership of the internal affairs and state security bodies evacuated from the Union Republics of the USSR to the Mordovian ASSR in 1941.

Materials and Methods. Within the framework of this study, materials located in the Central State archive of the Republic of Mordovia were used. To analyze the materials presented in the study, general scientific methods of analysis and systematization and specific historical methods were used: historical-genetic and historical-typological.

Results. As part of the study, a conditional separation of the command staff of the evacuated employees of the internal affairs and state security bodies was carried out, then their analysis was carried out by positions at the previous duty station. Within the subcategories, the differentiation of employees by groups of similar positions was carried out and conclusions were drawn on the significance of these employees in wartime conditions. It should be noted that a significant number of senior staff arrived in the Mordovian ASSR from the Sumy region of the Ukrainian SSR, which was provided for by the evacuation plan.

Discussion and Conclusions. The study has allowed us to confirm the importance of high-ranking evacuated law enforcement officers, which was confirmed by the short period of their stay in evacuation (1-2 months). A more detailed layout of senior staff by position allowed us to identify patterns for the most important evacuated “specialties” of the security forces.
Psychological Features of the Relationship between Manipulative Inclinations and Interpersonal Relations of Students
Authors: Garanina Zhanna G. , Kuleshova Natalia E.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The article analyzes the problem of manipulation and the influence of students’ manipulative inclinations on interpersonal relationships. A theoretical study of this problem shows the existence of opposite points of view on the phenomenon of manipulation, where, on the one hand, it is considered as a destructive process that destroys interpersonal relationships, and on the other hand, when used for humane purposes, leading to positive results in relations between people.

Materials and Methods. The results of an empirical study of the manipulative qualities and interpersonal relations of students of various areas of training using a set of methods are presented: methods of manipulative attitude (according to the Bant scale); methods of diagnosing interpersonal relations T. Leary; test for Machiavellianism (Mac-V); statistical data processing methods: Mann – Whitney U-test, Pearson correlation analysis.

Results. Statistically significant differences between manipulative inclinations and Machiavellianism of students of various areas of training were revealed. With the help of correlation analysis, statistically significant relationships were established between students’ manipulative inclinations and a low level of friendliness and a high level of dominance in interpersonal relationships.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results obtained confirm the assumption that the manipulative tendencies of students of various areas of training negatively affect the nature of interpersonal relationships, since they are largely based on an unfriendly attitude towards others and the desire to dominate other people.
Recreating the Images of Chan Master Huineng: A Systemic Functional Approach to Translations of the Platform Sutra
Authors: Yu Hailing
Published: January 2023

The book applies systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to the comparison of four English translations of the Platform Sutra (1930, 1977, 1998 and 2011) in the field of translation studies. The Platform Sutra is an ancient Chan Buddhist text that records the public sermons and conversations of the Chan master Huineng (638-713). The focus of the book is on the image of Huineng recreated in each translation. The book integrates quantitative and qualitative analyses, adopting corpus linguistic tools such as SysFan, SysConc, and Wmatrix, with its methodology applicable in future studies. The analyses of the four translations are conducted from the perspectives of verbs of saying, personal pronouns, Mood and Modality, multimodality and evaluation, and textual complexity, which are within the ideational, interpersonal and textual metafunctions of SFL respectively. Both the recreating of images and the lexicogrammatical choices are further interpreted by taking the context of translation (Field, Tenor, Mode) into consideration. The book provides an appropriate way to combine systemic functional linguistics with translation studies, highlighting the relationship between language, culture and translation. It also raises the question concerning the status of translated texts as the basis of scholarly research in the English world.
The Buddha’s Middle Way: Experiential Judgement in his Life and Teaching
Authors: Ellis Robert M.
Published: January 2023

The Middle Way was first taught explicitly by the Buddha. It is the first teaching offered by the Buddha in his first address, and the basis of his practical method in meditation, ethics, and wisdom. It is often mentioned in connection with Buddhist teachings, yet the full case for its importance has not yet been made. This book aims to make that case. The Middle Way can be understood from the Buddha’s life as well as his teachings. His early life follows a symbolic quest through the extremes of the Palace and the Forest, followed by the discovery of the Middle Way. His similes, such as the raft, the lute-strings, the arrow, and the blind people with the elephant are not just allegories of Buddhist teachings, but relate closely to the universal human experience of balanced judgement. This book also has a critical case. Although it has transmitted the Middle Way, the Buddhist tradition has also often ignored or distorted it. The Middle Way is experiential, authentic and creative, and thus threatening to the power of a tradition that has instead emphasised the Buddha’s authority as a source of abstract, absolute revelation. The Buddha’s Middle Way aims to differentiate the universal Middle Way from Buddhist tradition.

Avaliou a influência de diferentes doses de polímero hidroretentor em função de diferentes lâminas de irrigação no cultivo de pimentão. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação no Instituto Federal Goiano, em Urutaí, Goiás. O delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 4 × 4 com quatro repetições, sendo quatro lâminas de irrigação (50, 75, 100 e 125%) obtidas diariamente junto ao tanque Classe A e quatro doses de solução de hidrogel (0, 200, 400, 600 mL). As mudas de pimentão foram adquiridas de viveiro comercial registrado. O hidrogel foi diluído 50g para cada 10 litros de água, fornecido na cova de transplantio. Foram avaliadas as variáveis: número de folhas (NF), altura de planta (HP), espessura da casca (EC), total de produção (TP), comprimento do fruto (CF), diâmetro do fruto (DF), peso médio dos frutos (PMF) e número de frutos comerciais (NFC). O uso de solução hidroretentora em pimentão, cultivar Magali R, interferiu significativamente no aumento do peso médio dos frutos, sendo a dosagem recomendada correspondente a 400mL de solução.
Definition of puritanism and its interpretations
Authors: Yerokhin V. N.
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the appearance in the context of the development of the English Reformation in the middle of the 16th century of supporters of the further reformation of the Church of England following the example of the European continental reformed churches and the conceptual understanding of the views and practices characteristic of the supporters of the continuation of the Reformation in the country, by contemporaries and subsequent researchers. It is analyzed how, conceptually, descriptively and conceptually, the views and characteristic features of the activities of the supporters of the continuation of the Reformation were fixed, and it is shown under what circumstances the terminological designations of the supporters of the further Reformation by their opponents began to appear and how these more radical reformers called themselves. The emergence of the concept of "Puritanism" and the theological views, doctrinal and ritual practices characteristic of the Puritans are considered. The difficulties with the definition of the concept of "Puritanism" and discussions among researchers in determining the relationship between Puritans, supporters of the Church of England, and Separatists are shown. A review and analysis of opinions on the question of the interpretation and definition of Puritanism in modern historical science is presented, demonstrating the semantic components and aspects of the concept of "Puritanism" in the entire spectrum of its meanings. The continuing diversity of opinions and the lack of a single generally accepted definition of Puritanism, according to the author, still exists due to the complexity of this phenomenon. For further work in the interpretation of Puritanism, the author considers the contextual-operational approach heuristically productive, which is currently taking shape in the practice of concrete historical research on this problem.

Excess thyroid hormone secretion can cause endocrine metabolic disorders, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, including heart enlargement, atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure. The present study investigated the molecular mechanisms of hyperthyroidism-induced AF. A rabbit susceptibility model of hyperthyroidism-induced AF was constructed, and metoprolol treatment was administered. Norepinephrine levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of markers for sympathetic remodeling (growth associated protein 43 and tyrosine hydroxylase in atrial myocardial tissues and stellate ganglia). Primary rabbit cardiomyocytes were cultured and identified by immunofluorescence staining, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining was used to measure cardiomyocyte apoptosis; western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, including Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3, as well as to measure the phosphorylation states of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway proteins. Metoprolol inhibited sympathetic activation and cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the rabbit model by inhibiting the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Immunofluorescence staining results revealed that the rabbit cardiomyocytes were isolated successfully. Inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling alleviated norepinephrine-induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Sympathetic activation promotes apoptosis in cardiomyocytes with hyperthyroidism-induced AF via the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. The results of the present study provide a novel theoretical basis for the potential clinical treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism and AF.
