APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF MOTIVATION OF STAFF OF HEALTH AND RESORT INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Vysochina Marina , Fokina Natal'ya
Published: December 2024

The activities of sanatorium and resort institutions have significant socio-economic significance, which is expressed in the form of various economic and social effects manifested at the levels of individuals (recreation residents, employees of institutions), territories (local communities), regions and the state as a whole. The success of enterprises in this area directly depends on their ability to ensure the quality and variety of services provided. In the process of providing health resort services, there is close interaction between their consumers and the staff of the institutions. Accordingly, the perception of the quality of a sanatorium-resort product by vacationers is largely determined by the attitude of employees towards them. This means that employees must be motivated to provide quality services and to be attentive and responsive to the requests of service consumers. In light of the above, the issue of forming an effective system of motivation for personnel of sanatorium and resort institutions becomes relevant. Particular attention should be paid to the financial component of the motivation system, since for most workers it is of paramount stimulating importance.
The article analyzes the characteristics of the work of employees of sanatorium and resort institutions, focusing on the characteristics of the work of medical personnel. An analysis of factors influencing the motivation of employees of the enterprises under consideration is presented. It has been established that wages calculated using the traditional approach (salary + bonus) at most domestic enterprises in the sanatorium and resort industry do not perform a stimulating function, since its size practically does not depend on the efforts of staff. That is, such a financial incentive instrument does not affect labor efficiency and does not contribute to quality service for vacationers. The main motivational tools and methods for assessing personnel performance are considered. It has been established that the formation of the financial part of the motivation system based on the KPI method is the most acceptable for organizations of the sanatorium and resort complex. The author’s approach to the formation of a personnel motivation system based on KPI is proposed. For this purpose, possible KPIs have been identified for individual positions provided for by the operating regulations of the sanatorium and resort institution.

Published: December 2024

Entre aquellos residuos mineros que generan mayor preocupación ambiental se encuentran las presas que jales, que pese a los recubrimientos que se aplican sobre las superficies para evitar futuras percolaciones, la fina granulometría de sus partículas propicia el transporte y diseminación de las mismas ante fuertes lluvias o vendavales en zonas conurbadas a la actividad minera. El presente estudio reporta la caracterización de los polvos residuales, comprobando la condición mixta de las partículas que favorecen la liberación de elementos traza y metales base. Se identifico un inosilicato de calcio y hierro como matriz de la muestra, además de la presencia de especies como galena, esfalerita y cubanita, que corroboran las altas concentraciones de metales base moderadamente enriquecidos. Los índices de acumulación reportan la presencia de elementos potencialmente tóxicos en relación a la plata, el elemento de mayor factor de enriquecimiento y por el cual es posible catalogar a estos residuos mineros como una fuente extractiva alternativa.

Published: December 2024

Con la finalidad de evaluar el impacto en la resistencia a la compresión de probetas de concreto reforzado con fibras de PET sin tratar y tratadas mediante hidrolisis alcalina, se reporta el comportamiento de probetas de concreto estandarizadas bajo la norma ASTM C31. La caracterización de los agregados se realizó usando procesamiento de imágenes con ImageJ, obteniendo partículas de tamaños pequeños de arena, grava y microfibras de PET. El diseño experimental factorial 32 incluyó variaciones en la longitud de las fibras (1, 2 y 3 cm) y en sus porcentajes (0.15%, 0.25%, y 0.35%). Los ensayos de compresión indicaron un incremento significativo en la resistencia de las probetas con fibras de 3 cm, con un aumento significativo del 10% comparado con el blanco. Se realizó un tratamiento de hidrolisis alcalina, siguiendo el diseño experimental Taguchi, mostrando que variables como la concentración de NaOH, la temperatura y el tiempo de exposición afectan la pérdida de peso de las fibras PET, lo que impacta en su adherencia en el concreto. Las micrografías de las fibras tratadas revelaron una mayor rugosidad y un aumento en la adherencia del cemento, evidenciando la efectividad del tratamiento. Destacando que en las fibras tratadas el módulo de Young disminuyó respeto a las fibras de PET sin tratar.

PARSING THROUGH BODO MYTHS: ITS REFLECTION AND SIGNIFICANCE IN SOCIETY
Authors: Narzary Hargouri
Published: December 2024

Throughout the inhabited world, in all ages and under every situation, the myths of man have flourished. It is a heritage shared by all humans and an inherent as well as a crucial part of culture since antiquity. For members of any society, primitive/folk or modern myths seem to hold timeless importance and veneration; they have been a living inspiration of whatever else may have appeared out of the human activity and mind. In a similar view, the Bodos possess a distinct mythological tradition that shows excellent varieties. It goes without saying that myths, i.e., mwdai daodwi ni solo in the Bodo society are not just human imagination or creation, but represent their actual human life. Myths form a valued part of their sacred circle of life and it serves as a vehicle of emotional introspection and release. In this paper, an earnest attempt will be made to explore the reflection and significance of myths in their society.

Authors: Deswal Deepak , Bisht Padam S , Mukta
Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of sectoral allocation of public expenditure on Haryana's economic growth from 2000 to 2023. Using time series analysis, the research investigates the dynamic relationships between sectoral expenditures—specifically on education, health, agriculture, industry, and infrastructure—and the state’s Net State Domestic Product (NSDP). Stationarity tests reveal that most expenditure categories exhibit long-term stability, while some require differencing to achieve stationarity. Granger causality tests indicate significant short-term relationships for sectors like infrastructure and industry, while cointegration analysis confirms a robust long-term equilibrium between sectoral expenditures and economic growth. Regression results highlight that infrastructure and industry have the most substantial positive influence on NSDP, whereas education and health show a delayed impact. The findings reveal the importance of strategic and sustained investments across sectors to drive inclusive and long-term economic development in Haryana. Policy recommendations include prioritizing growth-driving sectors, enhancing human capital through increased spending on education and health, and ensuring balanced allocation to address structural inefficiencies.

Guava is a fruit species of worldwide importance due to its characteristics favorable for consumption; for example, aroma, flavor, texture and vitamin C. This study aimed to characterize the physicochemical variability of Brazilian guava accessions grafted onto BRS Guaraçá, a nematode resistant rootstock, to guide the development of new cultivars. Fruits from 87 accessions from the Embrapa Semiárido Psidium Germplasm Bank, sampled in 12 Brazilian States and established at Petrolina, PE, Brazil, were analyzed in 2020 for peel and pulp color, pulp firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids, vitamin C, lycopene, and β-carotene in the fresh pulp. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and histograms construction. The results were significant (p< 0.05) for all quantitative variables, indicating phenotypical variability among accessions. The β-carotene contents ranged from 0.02 to 1.83 mg.100 g-1, with a mean of 0.49 mg 100 g-1. The lycopene mean value was 0.77 mg100 g-1, ranging from 0 to 3.7 mg 100 g-1. Accessions GUA33PE and GUA135RR showed high pulp firmness values and are recommended for the development of cultivars with greater resistance to transport. Accessions GUA31PI, with 686 mg 100 g-1 and GUA48SE, with 621 mg 100 g-1, showed high values of vitamin C and are recommended for the development of cultivars with higher contents of this bioactive compound.

We present a synthesis of all sampling programs aimed at collection of ichthyoplankton conducted in coastal waters of eastern Newfoundland during the period 1982–2016, describing seasonal patterns in the succession of 22 taxa in terms of diversity, probability of occurrence, and overall abundance. Additionally, we assess whether changes in these patterns occurred prior to and after the collapse of major commercial fish stocks and accompanying shifts in ecosystem structure. Despite differences in relative species composition and community structure among bays, we identified clear and repeatable patterns in the seasonal cycle of species succession from Placentia Bay, on the south coast, to White Bay on the northeastern coast of the island. Some of the differences among bays reflected latitudinal patterns in the timing of the seasonal environmental cycle, with increasing delays toward northerly bays. Relatively few species generally dominated the larval fish community, although dominance varied seasonally, particularly once emergence of capelin commenced in July and August. Abundance of larval fish reflected the changes in abundance of adult stocks of commercial species, with strong declines in density following stock collapses, but larval decreases extended to non-commercial coastal taxa potentially removed as bycatch or through impacts of changes in ocean conditions that contributed to the decline of major ecosystem stocks (e.g., Atlantic cod, capelin, American plaice). Although differences in timing and extent of ichthyoplankton collections confounded our data, the general consistency of our observations with other sources of information (e.g., research vessel trawl surveys) highlights the value of such collections to monitoring of areas poorly represented by other types of surveys. Knowledge of changes in larval fish community structure in coastal areas can set a foundation to understand better the potential interaction between anthropogenic and climate impacts on the ecosystem state in coastal areas.

Published: December 2024

Fomes fomentarius, commonly known as the tinder fungus, has been extensively studied for its potential in a wide range of medical and biotechnological applications and its ethnomycological significance. Research has predominantly focused on this species, the other three species accepted within the genus—F. fasciatus from the Neotropics, F. inzengae from Europe and Asia, and F. graveolens from North America—remain underexplored in terms of their applications. Furthermore, in previous studies, three distinct lineages within F. fomentarius have already been identified. Through maximum likelihood analysis of a concatenated ITS + LSU sequence dataset, we also discovered five additional clades of potential unnamed taxa in Asia and Europe, as well as three distinct clades within the Neotropical specimens of F. fasciatus. Additionally, we have compiled a comprehensive list of known applications of F. fomentarius, and considering the taxonomic discoveries, some of these medicinal applications could correspond to other species. This review highlights the urgent need for thorough taxonomic studies to precisely define species as we explore their chemical, biological, and biotechnological potentials, emphasizing the importance of including specimens from underexplored regions such as the Neotropics.
Lexicogrammatical Choices and Cognitive Patterns in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Insights from Self-Other Differentiation and Sense of Agency
Authors: Kato Sumi
Published: December 2024

This study investigates key lexicogrammatical differences between individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and non-ASD individuals, utilizing a corpus of spoken language from both ASD and non-ASD participants. Participants included 54 individuals with ASD (mean age = 20, SD = 6.83) and 70 non-ASD individuals (mean age = 21, SD = 6.72), all aged 15 and older. Framed within the Systemic Functional Linguistics model, the analysis focused on the TRANSITIVITY system, which organizes human experiences into six Process Types: Material, Mental, Relational, Behavioral, Verbal, and Existential. TRANSITIVITY system is essential for representing human experiences by categorizing them into processes, participants, and circumstantial elements. A t-test revealed a significant difference in the use of Existential Processes, with ASD individuals showing a higher frequency of expressions, such as aru (exist: inanimate) and iru (exist: animate), compared to non-ASD individuals. This suggests that individuals with ASD favor direct, concrete expressions of existence, which align with the ecological self—a cognitive orientation focused on immediate, physical interaction with the environment. This contrasts with more relational or socially mediated language, revealing distinct cognitive patterns in how ASD individuals perceive the world. The study examines the role of cognitive profiles in shaping lexicogrammatical choices, particularly in relation to self-other differentiation and agency. These findings underscore the link between cognitive functioning and language use, offering insights for ASD diagnosis. No prior studies have used lexicogrammatical choices as diagnostic markers for ASD, providing new perspectives on the relationship between cognition and language, with significant diagnostic implications.

This paper examines the specificity of multilingualism in higher education in Kazakhstan based on the use and functioning of code-switching in the context of the state trilingual policy. The purpose of the study is to identify the degree of the implementation of the language policy from the point of view of students as direct participants in the educational process. The study is based on data from a sociolinguistic questionnaire with a sample of 400 undergraduate students from multilingual groups in technical, natural science and social educational programs at four leading universities in the western area of Kazakhstan. The study allowed identifying the types of code-switching most preferred by students and the main reasons why they code-switch in the educational context. However, students were unable to give clear answers regarding the impact of code-switching on the quality of their learning and identity. A conclusion is drawn that despite the active state promotion of all the three languages, it is too early to talk about significant success of the state language policy. Since multilingual groups are a relatively new phenomenon in Kazakhstan, students seem to lack a clear understanding of the essence of code-switching as a form of multilingualism in education, and they are not yet fully aware of the opportunities and benefits associated with it.
Critical Analysis to Abu-Obiedas Speeches: Strength and Weak Points from a Translational Perspective
Authors: K Talafha Duaa , BaniYounes Zein Bassam , Khanam Afeera , Tahat Abdelrazzaq
Published: December 2024

Speeches of Abu-Obieda constitute a cornerstone in the ongoing Al-Aqsa deluge war that embarked the agony between Israel and Hamas troops in Palestine. These speeches were presumably different from regular speeches of any regular army spokesmen in that Hamas is but a folk group that chooses to defend its freedom. This paper comes to analyze the weaknesses and strengths of these speeches as literature would barely cover them unless a paper by Alnwihe and Al-Abbas has touched upon a few points. The researchers disseminate CDA by Fairclough ,Aristotle's modes of persuasion and textuality theory by Beaugrande and Dressler to bring about these weaknesses and strengths. It is found that on the level of topics, speeches of Abu-Obieda bear real accusations based on featured logos prior to them while digression causes confusion to the English audiences. Linguistic devices, though show fewer weak points as far as Arabic discourse is concerned, the translation of these linguistic devices impedes the clarity of the message because of the cultural-specific terms and ‘enallage’ which are language devices peculiar to the Arabic language. Other linguistic devices such as cohesion and modality contribute to the power of the discourse in that they level up the cohesive and coherent force of the text. It is recommended that Abu-Obieda shall concentrate on reporting information more than adorning the text with Arabic stylistic devices that are difficult to be rendered into English by auto-generated translations.

The research method used was quantitative with a descriptive approach and associative analysis, involving 70 respondents of mothers with children under three years old. The study's results showed that the mother's age, education level, employment status, knowledge, positive attitudes, and family support significantly influenced breastfeeding decisions. The P-values found were 0.045 for age, 0.012 for education level, 0.038 for job status, 0.002 for knowledge, 0.008 for positive attitudes, and 0.005 for family support. Mothers' understanding of the benefits of breastfeeding had the highest odds ratio (3.3), indicating that mothers with good knowledge were 3.3 times more likely to provide exclusive breastfeeding. These findings emphasize the need for educational interventions and social support to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding for mothers' and babies' health and improve the community's quality of life.
The Trial Against Atheism in Naples (1688-1697)
Chronology and Documentation
Authors: Spruit Leen
Published: December 2024

In the period between 1688 and 1697 Naples was the stage of a large-scale inquisitorial trial against a group of intellectuals accused of atomism and atheism. The documentation presented here reveals that ‘atomism’ was used as both an ideological and defamatory label. The introduction and spread of modern scientific and philosophical ideas in Naples was in fact linked to a broader cultural renewal. ‘Atomism’ was thus used as a rallying cry by liberals, and viewed by their adversaries as a convenient doctrine to attack. Eventually, the Inquisition not only succeeded in preserving the practice of regular inquisitorial activities within the Kingdom but also established a precedent through a series of imprisonments and abjurations. This precedent served as a cautionary measure and deterrent against those engaged in innovative research endeavours.
Lingua inclusiva: forme, funzioni, atteggiamenti e percezioni
Authors: De Cesare Anna-Maria , Giusti Giuliana
Published: December 2024

This volume includes seven contributions devoted to inclusive language, understood in two interrelated meanings: the inclusion of women in discourses dominated by masculine forms and the inclusion of people who do not identify with binary gender identities. The goal is to stimulate respectful and informed discussion about linguistic structures, with a focus on Italian. The research presented, based on qualitative and quantitative corpus analyses, psycholinguistics experimental studies and questionnaire-based sociolinguistic investigations, describes specific language varieties or text types, highlights the main structural differences between Italian and German, investigates the supposed neutrality of the so-called ‘unmarked’ (or even ‘inclusive’) masculine or the public perception of inclusive language, and reflects on the use of grammatical desinences in the construction of gender identity in chatbots. A concerning scenario emerges from all the contributions, particularly for the degree of visibility of women in Italian cultural discourse and for the lack of denotation of prestige associated to the female gender.
Strategie linguistiche per la valorizzazione delle differenze di genere nei testi normativi delle università italiane
Un’analisi corpus-based
Authors: Riccio Anna
Published: December 2024

The University is actively committed to promoting inclusive language that takes gender differences into account, both within the academic context and institutional communication. Using a corpus-based approach, this study examines the linguistic strategies adopted by Italian universities through regulatory and administrative documents, offering an up-to-date analysis of language practices related to gender issues.
New Daily Persistent Headaches with Migrainous Features Following Proton Pump Inhibitor Use: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Tolebeyan Amir Soheil
Published: December 2024

Migraine disease is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurrent pulsating unilateral headaches, occasionally accompanied by sensory disturbances. Comorbidities such as cardiovascular complications, epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders are commonly associated with migraines. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed for acid-related conditions, but their use has been linked to adverse effects, including headaches. This case report presents the first case of new daily persistent headaches and chronic migraine disease associated with using proton pump inhibitors.

The paper describes the studies of the seasonal camps that steppe herders arranged in the balka systems of the Sal and Manych rivers in the Rostov region as well as their results. It also considers the model of everyday economic activities that small groups of mobile herders who occupied these sites engaged in throughout several historical periods. Extreme scarcity of material remains suggests that the everyday routine of the site residents depended on the biological rhythm of the animals and that the occupants of these sites used a minimalistic set of tools and implements. Production activities included repairs of broken items and fabrication of necessities using locally available materials as well as hoarding of some raw materials, such as bones, and, possibly, skins and hides. Presumably, the sites occupants prepared some reserves of fodder (reed mace) and fuel (reed mace and dung cakes that they used as fuel), and dried meat and dairy products as was done by the Kalmyks in the 18th — early 20th centuries. Absence of construction structures and hearths suggests that the site residents built small dwellings using locally available materials (turf/mudbricks, mace reed, wood) employing expedient technology and using, predominantly, open fire or bonfire pits for cooking food or keeping warm, dung cakes were their main type of fuel. Absence of construction structures also emphasizes that these people stayed in balkas for a short period of time.
SOVIET SCIENCE AND THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL REVOLUTION: GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES (1960–1970)
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the RAS, Tikhonov Vitaliy
Published: December 2024

The article characterizes the development of Soviet science in the conditions of the scientific and technical revolution in the 1960s and 1970s. The work is based on the analysis of factual and conceptual achievements of historical science with the involvement of documents from the Russian State Archive of Modern History and the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The theoretical models of the scientific and technical revolution (NTR) that existed in the USSR and developed Western countries are analyzed. It is pointed out that the theory of NTR, unlike the concept of post-industrial society, did not allow a comprehensive look at the development of the socio-economic structure. Special attention is paid to the development of information technologies in the Soviet Union, as well as to the problem of introducing innovations into real production. Based on the documents of the Central Committee of the CPSU, it is demonstrated that the Soviet leadership did not understand that the USSR was lagging behind the world leaders in the introduction of electronic computing technology. It is concluded that the Soviet Union managed to create a grandiose scientific and technical complex, which, for a number of reasons, did not become a full-fledged locomotive of the transition to a new technological order. In the Soviet economy, “administrative pressure” played a special role, but it allowed solving only a limited range of problems and did not provide an opportunity for comprehensive rebuilding of the economy. The Soviet leadership thought in terms of the industrial era, the regulated economy lacked incentives for innovation, often lacked the necessary technologies and resources, and the system itself reproduced an inertial development model.
DOUBLE START: O. A. ESIN’S RESEARCH STRATEGY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF URAL METALLURGICAL SCIENCE IN THE 1930S–1970S
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Bugrov Konstantin
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the research strategy of O. A. Esin (1904–1979), a prominent chemist and metallurgist who made a significant contribution to the development of the scientific and educational complex of the Urals. It examines the main stages of Esin’s research career and characterizes his contribution to solving specific scientific problems. The author shows that Esin’s career included a turning point — double start — when he switched from electrochemistry to the study of pyrometallurgical processes. The author also examines two major discussions about the structure of slags and the nature of metal oxide reduction processes that Esin and his students initiated in the late 1940s–1950s, and reveals the arguments of these discussions, analyzing the research papers and the polemical components of the fundamental work of O. A. Esin and P. V. Geld entitled “Physical Chemistry of Pyrometallurgical Processes”. An emphasis is placed on the significance of Esin’s capacity to make alliances, particularly with the chemist G. I. Chufarov, the author of the adsorption- catalytic theory of metal oxide reduction; the crucial importance of mentoring in Esin’s strategy is addressed specifically. It is concluded that the successful relaunching of Esin’s career had important consequences for metallurgical science, since the new research center emerged in Urals, laying the foundations for the emergence of an independent Institute of Metallurgy of the Ural Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
