Authors:   Dept of pharmacy practice, Krishna Teja Pharmacy College, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh., Deekshith R.Sai
Published: January 2025

Diclofenac sodium (DFS) is a widely prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) effective in managing pain and inflammation in patients with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions. While DFS is known for its rapid analgesic effects and broad therapeutic indications, it also poses significant cardiovascular (CV) safety concerns. Research highlights that prolonged or high-dose use of diclofenac increases the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and thrombotic events. Despite clinical guidelines discouraging its use in patients with heart conditions, a large percentage of individuals continue its use after hospital discharge. This review explores the dual nature of diclofenac’s benefits for pain relief and its associated cardiovascular risks, discussing pharmacokinetics, therapeutic indications, adverse effects, and regulatory recommendations.

Психофізична проблема та деякі редуктивні підходи до її розвʼязання в аналітичній філософії ХХ ст.
Authors: Шрамко Ярослав
Published: January 2025

В цiй статтi розглядаються деякi важливi проблеми, що знаходяться в центрi уваги сучасної аналiтичної фiлософiї свiдомостi. Зокрема здiйснюється огляд пiдходiв до розв’язання класичної психофiзичної проблеми, якi були запропонованi в межах редуктивного фiзикалiзму. Насамперед викладається сучасна реконструкцiя самої психофiзичної проблеми. Наголошується, що характерною рисою аналiтичної фiлософiї є прагнення до чiтких i ясних формулювань проблем, що розглядаються. Коли йдеться про ту чи ту фiлософську проблему, дуже важливо точно визначити, у чому саме вона полягає i яке саме питання в межах цiєї проблеми потребує розв’язання. Для досягнення такої точностi i ясностi в аналiтичнiй фiлософiї використовують метод логiчної реконструкцiї фiлософських проблем задля їхнього подальшого логiчного i концептуального аналiзу. Пiд час такої реконструкцiї зазвичай розглядають низку тез щодо дослiджуваної царини, кожну з яких прагнуть надiйно обгрунтувати. Проблема ж виникає тодi, коли цi тези виявляються логiчно несумiсними мiж собою i ми опиняємося перед вибором, вiд якої з них слiд вiдмовитися. Райл розробив в книзi «Поняття свiдомостi» певний пiдхiд до розв’язання психофiзичної проблеми, який дiстав назву «логiчного бiхевiоризму». Логiчний бiхевiоризм є фiзикалiстською теорiєю редуктивного типу, оскiльки в його рамках будь-яке поняття, що належить до сфери свiдомостi, дiстає вичерпне пояснення суто за допомогою понять зi сфери фiзики, тобто здiйснюється повне зведення (редукцiя) ментальних феноменiв до фiзичних феноменiв.
Такий пiдхiд зiштовхується зi значними труднощами, оскiльки обмеження припустимої фiзичної мови поведiнковими предикатами iстотно звужує можливостi фiзикалiстичного аналiзу мови психологiї. Тому, починаючи з другої половини ХХ столiття серед прихильникiв редуктивного фiзикалiзму дедалі бiльшої популярностi почала набувати так звана «теорiя тотожностi».
Інформаційне суспільство як нова суспільно-економічна формація: методологічні та термінологічні аспекти
Authors: Брюховецький Микола
Published: January 2025

В статті аналізуються перспективи одночасного застосування цивілізаційного та формаційного підходів до дослідження інформаційного суспільства, а також розглядається специфіка цього типу суспільства як нової формації. Робиться наголос на методологічних засадах обох підходів та на їхньому термінологічному апараті.
Цивілізаційний підхід розглядає інформаційне суспільство як етап історії людства, що послідовно слідує за аграрним та індустріальним. В рамках такого підходу, виходячи з назв самих етапів, акцентується увага на домінуючому продукті (інформація) та специфіці праці (інтелектуальна праця). Натомість у формаційному підході наголос робиться на соціальних відносинах власності та класах. В статті обидва ці підходи співставляються та робиться висновок, що їх синтез дозволяє комплексно оцінити розвиток суспільств, враховуючи як економічну діяльність, так і соціально-класові відносини власності.
Особливу увагу приділено неможливості розгляду інформаційного суспільства в рамках капіталістичної формації через процеси інтелектуалізації праці та дематеріалізації її компонентів, що призводить до значного ускладнення відносин експлуатації та власності, і є нетиповим для капіталізму. Відтак, робиться висновок, що інформаційне суспільство слід розглядати через призму нової самостійної формації, що слідує за капіталізмом. Пропонуються варіанти термінів для нового соціально-економічного устрою та його основного класу.
Робота загалом розширює розуміння інформаційного суспільства як складного феномену, що перебуває на межі економічного та соціального аналізу, й пропонує інтегративний підхід для його вивчення.

Authors: Khongyai Suttiya , Vibulphol Jutarat
Published: January 2025

This research studied self-directed learning in online English reading of seven secondary school students who attended a ten-week Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) learner training. The CALL learner training was sequenced using Knowles’s (1975) six steps of self-directed learning, which were setting climate, analyzing needs, setting goals, choosing materials, using strategies, and evaluating the outcomes. Each training session covered three components: pedagogical, strategic, and technical training. The training was conducted over ten weeks and included three required sessions and seven optional consultation sessions. During the training, the learners conducted three weeks of self-learning independently. Three sources of qualitative data, including learners’ learning logs, consultation recordings, and interviews, were used to examine the development of learners’ self-directed learning throughout the training. Overall, all participants showed improvement in their self-directed learning in online English reading after the training. However, goal setting and material selection seemed to be the main challenges for most participants. The findings suggested that more research on using CALL learner training should introduce more technology for different online reading tasks since the current study only presented limited tools.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the possibility of turning the military-industrial complex into a locomotive of the economy. The government tries to get orders from other countries, in particular, from EAEU member states. Here, the active role of the Diaspora cannot be overlooked. In addition to the ambitious projects of technopolises today more than ever they can also be real in the sense that new technologies can be imported from abroad at more favorable prices from some developed countries. Finally, the government should review the import duties for technologies to promote their entry and use in Armenia. In particular, the tax policy should be established for the development of information technologies new, state-of-the-art free technology zones, which are exempt from basic taxes.
ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF TOURISM ON MACROECONOMIC
INDICATORS: EMPIRICAL RESEARCH FOR ARMENIA
Authors: KHARATYAN Alvard , SVAZYAN Anahit
Published: January 2025

This study assesses the impact of tourism on the economy of Armenia. Hypotheses were proposed, the reliability of which was tested by multivariate regression and Vector Autoregression (VAR) models. A Granger causality test was applied, according to which tourism revenue is the cause of changes in private consumption, and the reverse is not true. There is no Granger causality between the other variables. The interactions between tourism, economic growth and private consumption, as well as the dynamic effects of random shocks on these variables, were evaluated using the VAR model. According to the results of models, the development of tourism contributes to the appreciation of Armenia's national currency. Tourism has a significantly positive impact on Armenia’s economic growth, private consumption, and imports of goods and services. Specifically, a 1% increase in tourism revenue: a) boosts private consumption by an average of 0.032% in the current quarter and 0.03% two quarters later, b) raises imports by an average of 0.06 percentage points in the current quarter, and c) leads to a 0.04% increase in economic growth in the current quarter.
ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF ANALYSIS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A MULTIMODAL EMOTION RECOGNITION
Authors: RUSHANYAN Aharon RUSHANYAN
Published: January 2025

This article, we investigate how systems of emotion recognition based on multimodal
support through CNN can be useful in economic analysis. Traditional economic theories
rely mainly on quantitative and qualitative information and essentially exclude vital nonverbal emotional cues in the determination of human actions. Engaging audio and visual pathways, this innovative approach, links psychological knowledge with economic one and thereby enhances comprehension of purchase decisions, market forces and workplace affective states. The approach entails capturing the audio and video data, feature extraction for the acoustics of the audio through MFCC and the human face using facial landmarks, and the use of CNN. The fusion layer integrates all such modalities for improving the accuracy of prediction. The practical use entails use of sentiment analysis and integrating incidences of collecting sentiment scores concurrently and in standard activities such as product release and effect of a policy.The effectiveness of the system to decode emotions makes easier for firms and policy makers to make economic decisions with an incorporation of emotions, a concept that is a milestone in the sphere of economical analysis. Further modifications are possible in subsequent studies with bigger datasets and more complicated networks associated with this system. The article also shows how multimodal emotion recognition systems can revolutionalise conventional economic models using the might of artificial intelligence technology and behavioral information.
Sustainability in IT education: A game-based approach
Authors: Gangstø Benedicte H. , Divitini Monica
Published: January 2025

Information Technology (IT) has a critical role in supporting sustainable development. However, there are also various ways in which IT contributes negatively to it. Despite the ever-growing need for IT professionals qualified to take on these challenges, education in sustainability and IT has so far been lacking. IT students need an understanding of the far-reaching implications of IT, and to acknowledge their responsibility for the systems they create, to actively contribute to positive change. To address this need, our research explores how collaborative games can be utilized as a tool to develop IT students’ knowledge and perception of sustainability and its connection with IT. Previous research has found the use of games to teach sustainability promising, and in this paper, we present SustainIT, a 3D collaborative game for IT students. In SustainIT, the players communicate across the past and future to make more sustainable decisions for an IT company. The learning goals of the game are to promote systems thinking, an understanding of the connection between sustainability and IT, and to challenge existing perceptions. Focus has been put on finding effective game elements to promote learning and engagement to support these learning outcomes. In the paper we present the design and the evaluation of the game. The final prototype was evaluated by an expert in sustainability in IT education, and a group of students within the target group. The overall evaluation was positive, with the game being evaluated as relevant and interesting. However, the evaluation also pointed out some challenges with the integration of background information about sustainability into the game. Our findings can inform the development of games aimed at cultivating the understanding of the impacts of IT on sustainability.

Authors: Saragih Radisman , Saragi Paltiada , Sianipar Andree Washington Hasiholan
Published: January 2025

Penyalahgunaan narkoba di kalangan remaja Indonesia telah menjadi isu kritis yang memerlukan perhatian serius dari berbagai pihak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dampak penyalahgunaan narkoba terhadap kesehatan fisik dan mental remaja, serta bagaimana hal ini mempengaruhi perkembangan sosial dan akademis mereka. Metode penelitian melibatkan studi literatur komprehensif dan survei yang dilakukan terhadap 500 remaja dari berbagai latar belakang di beberapa kota besar di Indonesia, termasuk Jakarta, Surabaya, dan Medan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyalahgunaan narkoba berdampak signifikan terhadap kesehatan fisik remaja, termasuk penurunan fungsi organ vital, peningkatan risiko penyakit menular seperti HIV/AIDS, dan masalah gizi. Secara mental, remaja pengguna narkoba cenderung mengalami gangguan psikologis seperti depresi, kecemasan, dan gangguan tidur. Selain itu, terdapat bukti kuat bahwa penyalahgunaan narkoba berkontribusi pada perilaku agresif dan peningkatan risiko bunuh diri di kalangan remaja. Dampak sosial dari penyalahgunaan narkoba juga sangat merugikan. Remaja yang menggunakan narkoba seringkali mengalami kesulitan dalam menjalin hubungan sosial yang sehat, mengalami isolasi sosial, dan cenderung terlibat dalam aktivitas kriminal seperti pencurian dan kekerasan. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa prestasi akademik remaja pengguna narkoba menurun drastis, ditandai dengan rendahnya nilai akademik, absensi yang tinggi, dan peningkatan angka putus sekolah. Penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya dukungan dari keluarga dan komunitas dalam pencegahan dan rehabilitasi penyalahgunaan narkoba di kalangan remaja. Program edukasi yang menargetkan remaja dan orang tua mengenai bahaya narkoba terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran dan pengetahuan tentang risiko yang terkait dengan penyalahgunaan narkoba. Selain itu, program rehabilitasi yang holistik, yang mencakup dukungan psikologis, medis, dan sosial, sangat diperlukan untuk membantu remaja pulih dari kecanduan narkoba.

This discussion is intended not only to introduce the candidate's thoughts and ideals, but also to demonstrate each candidate's ability to identify and solve societal problems. The candidates continue to make every effort to attend every invitation, both from the KPU and from other sources, such as campus debates or dialogues, religious organizations, national television, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). What is intriguing is Gibran's work, which has received a lot of criticism from netizens, both supporters and opponents. In fact, many insinuations were made against Gibran on various social media platforms, prompting the use of the terms Samsul, belimbing sayur, plonga-plongo, and others. This essay seeks to comprehend Gibran's debate technique and style on the stage of the 2024 presidential election. The results revealed Gibran's practice of declining debate invitations outside of the KPU in order to keep his thoughts and views hidden from his political opponents. Gibran did admirably in the KPU debate, outperforming his debate opponent, who was expected to be brutally bullied by his more senior and experienced debate opponent. The abrasive debating style while being polite and the tricks used drew the attention of netizens on social media. This gimmick subsequently became viral on numerous social media platforms, and he was even referred to as a “suhu” rather than a “cupu”.  This is a qualitative study conducted utilizing a desk study approach, which entails collecting and processing data from available sources such as websites and YouTube videos relating to the research's themes and issues.
