Features and Major Issues of Indian Economy
Authors: Kumar Vinod
Published: September 2024

Theodore Roosevelt remarked, “A peep in the past prepares you better for the future”. Thus, for understanding the present state of the Indian economy and its future prospects a brief comment on its past will be appropriate. The Indian economy, before the British came around the middle of the nineteenth century, was quite sound. According to an estimate, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of India in the sixteenth century was about 25% of the world economy, the second largest in the world. However, after the arrival of the colonial rule the Indian economy faced disaster; from being an exporter of processed goods it changed to being an exporter of raw materials and a buyer of manufactured goods. As per British economist, Angus Maddison, India’s share of the world income went from 27% in 1700 A.D. (compared to Europe share of 23%) to 3% in 1950. After India got independence in 1947, the process of rebuilding the economy started. However, it was mostly centralized and the period from 1947 to 1991 was termed as the licence raj, because the successive governments followed protectionist economic policies. This trend led to a balance of payments crisis in the year 1990. The year 1991 turned out to be watershed in the Indian economy when the government of India in June 1991 announced major liberalization policies in Indian economy. The emergence of India as a major economic power in the world happens to be one such idea. Since then, Indian economy has progressed immensely with GDP progressing at the rate of 6 to 8% per annum and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years. India is also backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships. India has finally arrived in the category of fast emerging economies. It is fast entering the league of high growth nations. The future seems to have much more in store. But a lot depends on how the grey areas are tackled. We have finally been able to unshackle ourselves from the stigma of being a low growth economy and have infused dynamism into our economic system. Not only is India achieving higher growth rates year after year, the rate at which it is moving towards higher growth targets is also higher. In this research paper discuss the features of Indian economy and major issues of Indian economy.

Published: September 2024

This research explores how critical theory challenges the normative foundations of contemporary global economical governance, offering alternative visions for modern economy, democracy, and human rights. By exposing the hidden assumptions and power structures inherent in neoliberalism, realism, and cosmopolitanism, critical theory critiques the dominant paradigms that shape global politics and economy. It argues for a transformation towards more inclusive, pluralistic, and democratic forms of governance. Through a detailed examination of global institutions like the WTO, UN, and the Paris Agreement, the essay illustrates how these entities reflect and perpetuate global inequalities. Finally, it proposes alternative models that prioritise social and environmental sustainability, citizen participation, and respect for cultural diversity, aiming to inspire transformative change in global governance.
The Research on “Shandong Image” and “Shandong Imagination” in Contemporary Film and Television Works
Authors: Liu Yong , Zhang Haiyan , Liu Lin , Liu Yanxia , Wang Tao
Published: September 2024

The “Shandong Image” and “Shandong Imagination” in contemporary film and television works not only reflect the profound heritage of regional culture, but also reflect the inheritance and innovation of regional culture. Shandong people are often portrayed as upright, forthright and indomitable in film and television works. These characteristics come from Shandong’s profound cultural heritage and historical tradition. With the development of society and the diversification of culture, the image of Shandong people also shows a more diversified trend in film and television works. The “Shandong Image” and “Shandong Imagination” have both traditional positive images and more complex and multi-faceted role shaping. The contemporary film and television works have shaped the “Shandong Image” and “Shandong Imagination” through the construction of geographical space, the portrayal of dialect characters, the rendering of historical background, local folk customs, regional culture labels, etc. These works reconstruct the “other” image based on the perception of Shandong cultural image. These “Shandong Image” and “Shandong Imagination” form the collective imagination with Shandong cultural characteristics and build the cultural identity of Shandong people.

The Transformation of Animated Character Images: A Perspective on the Shift in Contemporary Chinese Public Aesthetics
Authors: Zhang Yifu
Published: September 2024

As a rising star among various film categories in China, animated films hold a pivotal position. Directly targeting a vast audience of children and teenagers, they enjoy a natural advantage in cultural dissemination and ideological guidance. Since the creation of China’s first animated film, The Big Stir in the Studio in 1926, a distinctive national style has been one of the most prominent hallmarks of domestic animation. With the integration of modern artistic concepts and advanced animation production technologies, Chinese animation has, after a rich developmental journey, ultimately formed its unique creative paradigm and aesthetic philosophy. As a “young” art form, animation employs a wide array of content expression methods, encompassing artistic forms such as ink wash painting, sculpture, watercolor, and oil painting. Its “all-encompassing” nature also determines that animation art possesses a strong “moldability,” making it more susceptible to the influence of various cultural trends during the creation process. This is particularly evident in the evolution of character design influenced by aesthetic preferences in different periods since the founding of New China. This article will delve into the transformation of public aesthetics since the establishment of New China by examining the artistic expression and gender body structures in characters from domestic animated films. It aims to contribute to the development of China’s animation industry and promote outstanding Chinese culture.

Ambedkar’s Views on Social Justice
Authors: Kumar Vinod
Published: September 2024

Social justice is an application of distributive justice to wealth, assets, privileges and advantages within a society or a state. The essence of justice is the attainment of common good for all. Social justice involves the creation of a just and fair social order and provides justice for every member of the community. Social justice in India is the product of social injustice of the caste system. Such social inequalities pose a serious threat not only to society but also to Indian democracy. Under the traditional Hindu caste hierarchy, backward communities and women have suffered for centuries because they were denied equality, education and other opportunities for advancement. For B. R. Ambedkar, the concept of social justice stood for liberty, equality and fraternity for all human beings. He advocated a social system based on equalization in society among individuals in all spheres of life. Being trained as a social scientist, he acquired deep knowledge in every field of human activity to become a founder of his own independent ideology. He understood social, political, religious and economic problems as associated with caste and the position of women in Indian society. His ideology and beliefs are important for social progress and stability of the Indian society. In this research paper have discuss Ambedkar’s views on social justice.

Addiction and Anxiety Counselling
Authors: Kumar Vinod
Published: September 2024

Addiction and anxiety often go hand in hand. Depression may be the reason an addict begins using drugs or alcohol or, it may develop as the addiction progresses. Dual diagnosis of addiction and anxiety is, when a person has an addiction plus a psychiatric illness such as anxiety, doctors say that they have a “dual diagnosis”. The term is a reminder for the counsellors, physicians, and other medical professionals that this client has extra challenges on the road to recovery. Depression and other psychiatric illnesses increase the risk of addiction. Of all people who are diagnosed as having a psychiatric illness, roughly 29% are alcohol or drug abusers. As many as 37% of people who abuse alcohol and 53% of people who abuse drugs, have at least one serious mental illness. Depression, already common in the general population, is even more common among alcoholics and drug abusers. In this paper highlights the symptoms, causes, factors and counselling techniques of Addiction and Anxiety.
The Mediating Role of Emotional Stability and Social Skills in Psychological Resilience Following Emotional Trauma
Authors: L. B. Thaddeus
Published: September 2024

Emotional trauma can have a profound impact on an individual’s psychological well-being, leading to various adverse outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, not all individuals respond to trauma in the same way, with some exhibiting remarkable resilience. This paper explores the mediating roles of emotional stability and social skills in fostering psychological resilience following emotional trauma. Emotional stability enables individuals to regulate their emotions, maintain composure, and utilize adaptive coping strategies in the face of adversity. Social skills facilitate the development of supportive relationships that provide essential emotional and practical assistance. Together, these attributes create a synergistic effect that enhances resilience, allowing individuals to navigate challenges and recover from emotional trauma effectively. By examining the interplay between emotional stability and social skills, this paper underscores the importance of integrated interventions aimed at strengthening these traits to promote psychological resilience. The findings suggest that cultivating emotional stability and social skills can significantly improve individuals’ ability to cope with trauma and lead fulfilling lives despite adversity.
The Buffering Role of Physical Activity in the Impact of Sedentary Behavior on Lipid Metabolism
Authors: Mladenovic S. P.
Published: September 2024

Sedentary behavior, characterized by prolonged periods of inactivity, has become increasingly prevalent in modern society, contributing significantly to adverse lipid metabolism and associated cardiovascular risks. Physical activity, recognized for its beneficial effects on metabolic health, plays a critical role in mitigating these negative impacts. This integrative review explores the buffering role of physical activity in counteracting the effects of sedentary behavior on lipid metabolism. Through an analysis of recent studies, we examine the mechanisms by which physical activity improves lipid profiles, including enhanced lipoprotein lipase activity, improved insulin sensitivity, and upregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism. The review also highlights the contextual variability of these effects, emphasizing how factors such as obesity, age, metabolic conditions, socioeconomic status, and genetic predispositions influence the efficacy of physical activity as a protective measure. The findings underscore the necessity for personalized and context-specific public health strategies to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time, thereby improving metabolic health and reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases.
Understanding Perceived Ethnic Discrimination (PED) and Job Burnout Among Indian Expatriate Workers in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries: A Quantitative Study
Authors: Hasna C
Published: September 2024

Ethnic discrimination becomes a significant threat to the occupational well-being of expatriate workers in workplace settings. One of the factors for the deterioration of occupational well-being due to perceived ethnic discrimination may be job burnout. The main objectives of the study were to find the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination and job burnout and to understand the differences in perceived ethnic discrimination and job burnout in different religious and age groups among Indian expatriate workers in GCC countries. Data were collected from 201 Indian expatriate workers (99 young adults, 102 late adults, 100 Muslims and 102 nonMuslims) in GCC countries using the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire and Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis was used to measure the association between perceived ethnic discrimination and job burnout, which revealed a significant positive correlation between perceived ethnic discrimination and job burnout. Student’s t-test was also applied, which showed a significant difference in perceived ethnic discrimination and job burnout between Muslim and non-Muslim expatriate Indian workers and a significant difference in job burnout between young adult and late adult workers. The study highlighted the importance of taking necessary measures to wipe out ethnic discrimination towards Indian expatriate workers in GCC countries.
Religious Coping in the Indian Scenario
Authors: Dhaka Gargi , Hooja Himangini Rathore
Published: September 2024

Religious coping plays a crucial role in how individuals manage stress and trauma, particularly within the diverse cultural context of India. This study explores the interrelationships between religious coping, post-traumatic growth (PTG), and psychological well-being (PWB) among a sample of 150 cancer patients aged 30-50 years admitted to Acharya Tulsi Regional Cancer Institute and Research Centre, Bikaner. Using the Brief RCOPE (Religious Coping Scale), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), and the PostTraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), we found that positive religious coping strategies are significantly associated with higher levels of PTG and PWB, whereas negative religious coping correlates with poorer psychological outcomes. These findings highlight the beneficial impact of positive religious coping on psychological resilience and growth while emphasising the detrimental effects of negative religious coping. The results underscore the importance of integrating spiritual and religious dimensions into mental health interventions to foster holistic healing and well-being. Despite its contributions, the study is limited by its reliance on selfreport measures and a cross-sectional design. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and qualitative approaches to deepen understanding and develop culturally sensitive mental health practices that incorporate religious coping mechanisms.
Adult Attachment Functioning and Marital Quality: A Psychosocial Study on Early & Middle Adults
Authors: Chakraborty Nabamita
Published: September 2024

Marital quality, adjustment and post-marital family harmony have been considered to be significant precursors to adult well-being. The research aimed to find out gender differences, if any, among early and middle-adult participants. It also sought interactions/ interconnections between adult attachment style, stressful life events and marital quality of male and female early and middle adults aged between 25 and 45 years. Each participant individually filled out selfreport measures such as the Relationship Structure Scale and the Marital Quality Scale. Snowball sampling was used to collect data from a sample of 45 couple participants aged 25 to 45 years. Statistical analyses were done. Statistical analyses revealed no significant gender difference in the marital quality of the participants. Global Avoidance, Global Anxiety and Anxious Attachment Styles are the predictors of high scores on the Marital Quality Scale (higher score indicates poorer marital quality). Discussion and implications throw light on policy-making in the area of family and marital therapy and the rights and well-being of children.
Influence of lifestyle factors on menstrual disorders
Authors: Priya M.Ranga , T. Gunasundari  , R.Manivannan
Published: September 2024

Menstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), significantly impact the quality of life of many women. These disorders can be influenced by various lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, stress, body weight, and substance use. This review examines the existing literature on the impact of these lifestyle factors on menstrual health. Nutrient deficiencies and imbalanced diets, especially those low in magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin D, are associated with increased severity of PMS and dysmenorrhea. Conversely, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are linked to more regular menstrual cycles. Regular physical activity is beneficial, often reducing menstrual pain and promoting cycle regularity. However, excessive exercise, particularly in athletes, can lead to energy deficits and hypothalamic amenorrhea. Stress is another crucial factor, with chronic stress elevating cortisol levels and disrupting the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to irregular cycles and exacerbated PMS symptoms. Body weight also plays a significant role; both obesity and being underweight can disrupt hormonal balance, with obesity leading to excess estrogen and heavy bleeding, and low body weight resulting in reduced estrogen production and amenorrhea. Substance use, including high intake of alcohol and caffeine, is linked to an increased risk of PMS and irregular cycles, while smoking exacerbates dysmenorrhea and accelerates menopause. Addressing these lifestyle factors through balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, effective stress management, and maintaining a healthy body weight is essential for improving menstrual health and overall well-being. Further research is needed to fully understand the complex interactions between lifestyle factors and menstrual health.
Exploring the Effectiveness of Human Waste Compost in Improving Agricultural Soil: A Comparative Study with Poultry Manure, Cow Dung, and Vermicompost
Authors: Islam Samanta , Raihan Asif
Published: September 2024

The heightened application of chemical fertilizers to enhance agricultural output jeopardizes agricultural and environmental sustainability. The present study assessed the influence of various organic amendments on soil properties. The experimental design encompassed a Randomized Complete Block Design, with treatments that included a control group along with vermicompost, human waste compost, poultry manure, and cow dung. The primary focus of the experiment was to evaluate multiple soil attributes, such as soil texture, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K), available sulfur (S), and exchangeable sodium (Na), to determine the impact of different manure applications. The findings of the study confirmed significant alterations in soil physicochemical parameters due to the application of these treatments. Notably, poultry manure and vermicompost exhibited the most substantial positive effects on total nitrogen, resulting in increases of 0.16% and 0.14%, respectively. In cases of phosphorus deficiency, both poultry manure and human waste compost were found to be effective in increasing soil phosphorus levels. Moreover, vermicompost and poultry manure were found to enhance the exchangeable potassium levels, with values of 0.467 and 0.432 meq/100 g soil, respectively. Sulfur content was notably higher in plots treated with poultry manure (20.5 ppm), followed by vermicompost (17.87 ppm) and human waste compost (17.21 ppm). Additionally, the treatment with human waste compost exhibited the highest electrical conductivity (243 µs/cm), while poultry manure had the most significant impact on increasing organic matter, showing a substantial 2.76% increment. The study's findings advocate for a transition from chemical fertilizers to compost fertilizers, which would enhance agricultural soil and promote sustainability in both agriculture and the environment.
PHILIPPE BAIL, LES COMPETENCES DANS UNE MARGUERITE
Authors: RENARD V
Published: September 2024

« Neque mittatis margaritas vestras ante porcos* » Matthaeus VII, 6 Il fut un temps, au début de ce siècle, où les enseignants de médecine générale clarifiaient les concepts de l’enseignement de la spécialité et même de la discipline, théorisée pas à pas depuis près de trente ans. Vous nous direz, ça fait vraiment un Bail cette histoire ! Et vous auriez raison, ça fait complètement un Bail. Plus précisément un Philippe Bail. À l’époque, directeur du département de médecine générale de la faculté de Brest, il partageait les concepts de la discipline, localement avec Jean Jouquan, médecin interniste, rédacteur en chef de la revue Pédagogie médicale, et nationalement avec le CNGE. J’ai le souvenir lointain de Philippe venu exposer les concepts constructivistes à la faculté de Paris-Est Créteil. À l’époque, je n’avais pas manifesté a priori un enthousiasme dévastateur pour ce qui s’annonçait un échange et une formation conceptuelle. Avec du recul, c’était probablement faute de lecture et d’expérience pédagogiques, et faute de devoir privilégier le quotidien du fonctionnement de la formation disciplinaire. Nous sommes devenus, à l’issue de cette formation, des convertis d’évidence du constructivisme et de la construction des compétences. Cette formation a donné à tous les participants l’envie d’aller plus loin, de travailler, de lire, de se former, de décliner en pratique les données conceptuelles au service des étudiants et de la spécialité et de la discipline. Philippe Bail était didactique, simple, ouvert, humain. Encore fallait-il illustrer et visibiliser les concepts pour la médecine générale. En faire une sorte d’image précieuse reconnaissable entre toutes et dont l’impact visuel soit fort. Philippe Bail, expert au sein du groupe national sur le référentiel de compétences du CNGE mené par Claude Attali, est l’inventeur en 2009-2010 du format de la marguerite des compétences, influencé par le schéma du référentiel CanMeds, aboutissant au célèbre numéro 108 de la revue exercer, avec l’article où figure la marguerite1. Il est probablement fortuit que le mot latin et auparavant grec signifiant perle soit le mot « margarita ». L’inventeur de cette perle pédagogique illustrant les compétences à construire pour devenir médecin généraliste est décédé cet été. Il a écrit un livre bouleversant sur les derniers mois de sa vie de médecin malade2. Nous remercions Philippe Bail de son apport pour les patients, à Lannion comme partout en France, pour la formation en médecine générale, pour la pédagogie, pour les enseignants attachés à la transmission des savoirs et à la qualité des soins.
QUE SONT LES VIOLENCES MEDICALES SELON LES MEDECINS GENERALISTES ?
Authors: HUTZLER M
Published: September 2024

D’après une communication de Mathilde Hutzler (Université Paris-Est Créteil) En France, les violences médicales (VM) sont essentiellement abordées, dans la littérature scientifique, par le prisme des violences obstétricales et gynécologiques vécues par les patientes ou par celui des violences institutionnelles vécues par les soignants. Les violences médicales (VM) en soins primaires, exercées par des soignants sur des patients, sont peu décrites. Explorer les représentations des médecins généralistes (MG) sur ce sujet paraît essentiel au vu des effets potentiels sur les parcours de santé des patients : perte de confiance envers le système de santé et rupture de soins1.
LE PRSI : EVALUATION D UN NOUVEL OUTIL DE REPERAGE DE LA MALTRAITANCE INFANTILE EN MG
Authors: BELOT E , VIGUIER C
Published: September 2024

D’après une communication d’Élodie Belot (Université de Toulouse) du travail de thèse de Charlotte Viguier (Université de Toulouse) En 2019, l’Observatoire national de l’enfance en danger estimait à 2,17 % les mineurs bénéficiant d’une mesure de protection de l’enfance. Ces chiffres étaient probablement sous-estimés, car 22 à 25 % des adultes interrogés déclaraient des faits assimilables à de la maltraitance dans leur propre enfance. Cette différence pouvait s’expliquer par un tabou sur le sujet, une définition de la maltraitance infantile complexe et équivoque, et des difficultés de repérage des enfants maltraités. Le PRSI est un nouvel outil d’aide au repérage de la maltraitance infantile en médecine générale, portant sur quatre questions (petit déjeuner, régime, sexualité, insultes).

Published: September 2024

The present study was planned to study the therapeutic efficacy of different therapeutic regimes for enhancing uterine immunity and fertility response in Murrah buffaloes suffering from sub-clinical endometritis. Thirty postpartum buffaloes (28 to 45 days postpartum) found positive for sub-clinical endometritis by endometrial cytology in various dairy farms of Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) were included in the study. These animals were randomly divided into five treatment (n=06/group) and were subjected to different treatment regimen. Group 1 animals were intramuscularly injected with 500 mcg cloprostenol, Group 2 animals were given 500 mcg Cloprostenol intramuscularly + 500 mg single intrauterine infusion of cephapirin benzathin, Group 3 animals were given single intrauterine infusion of 100 mcg E. coli LPS in 30 ml sterile PBS solution, Group 3 animals were given single intrauterine infusion of 500 mg Oyster glycogen in 30 ml sterile PBS solution and Group IV animals were given single intrauterine infusion of 0.25% Lugol’s iodine (20 ml). All the 30 buffaloes were tracked for next successive oestrus and were again subjected to endometrial cytology and were bred by natural service and confirmed for pregnancy between 35 to 60 days post-breeding by trans-rectal ultrasonography. The pre-treatment PMN percent varied significantly (P<0.05) between treatment groups. Significant decline (P<0.05) in post-treatment PMN percent was observed in all the treatment groups. The first service pregnancy rate was found to be highest (66.67%) in Group 3 and 4. Whereas overall pregnancy rate was higher (83.33%) in treatment Groups 2, 3 and 4.

Familiar agriculture is predominant in the production of milk buffaloes in São Paulo southwest, Brazil. The production of buffaloes’ milk is sold almost exclusively to cheese production inside and out São Paulo State. This search was done in a proprerty located in Alambari, São Paulo, specialized in the production of Murrah buffaloes, with 21 animals, born between March and May in the year 2017. Blood was collected at 24 to 48 h from the birth, every 15 days and at the completetion of weaning (91 days of age). The samples were collected in vaccum tubes of 10 mL with coagulum activator, by a puncture of the jugular vein. With the application of the virus neutralization tests, we could see 90.47% reagent animals for BoHV-5 and or BoHV-1 in the first two days of life. The geometric medium titles (GMT) of antibodies reduced significantly from the time 0 (1.4563) to the time 6 (05721) (P=0.0001), showing adequate transference of passive immunity through the ingestion of colostrum by buffalo calves, with the persistence of antibodies until 3 months old. Considering that most buffalo calves were reagents after sucking the colostrum, it is possible to conclude that there is a great occurrence of BoHV-5 and or BoHV-1 once there is a crossed reaction among these and the cattle with no historic of vaccination for the agents.

Published: September 2024

The freeze-thaw process leads to structural and functional damage due to excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The addition of exogenous antioxidants to sperm diluents is of great importance to overcome oxidative damage during freezing. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of three diluents Tris Turmeric, Tris Turmeric Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Tris Turmeric Ethylene glycol on the cold survival ability of buffalo sperm. Semen was collected from five local adult male buffalo breeds. A base diluent of Tris-citric acid-fructose (TCF) was prepared, adding 20% whole egg yolk (TCFY). The Tris extender without turmeric, without DMSO, and without EG was kept as a control. Other extenders are Tris containing turmeric TT (100 ml/5 ml Tris), Tris containing turmeric dimethyl sulfoxide TTD (100 ml/5 ml Tris + 1.5% DMSO) and Tris containing turmeric and ethylene glycol TTE EG (100 ml/5 ml Tris + 1.5% EG). Semen samples were added and a pure sperm concentration of 60 × 106/ml was achieved. Frozen buffalo sperm after thawing showed significant improvements in all research parameters of the three breeding samples compared to the control. Tris Turmeric Ethylene was the type that best improved sperm survival under frozen conditions, followed by Tris Turmeric and Tris Turmeric Dimethyl Sulfoxide compared to the control. A significant decrease in sperm motility after thawing was evident as usage time increased in all expanders. There was a significant increase in total antioxidant content (TAC) and insignificant change in malondialdehyde (MDA) of the diluent used compared to the control. Conception rate (CR) was higher in Tris Turmeric Ethylene glycol (65.2%), followed by Tris Turmeric (60.3%) and Tris Turmeric Dimethyl Sulfoxide (55.9%) compared to the control (36, 7%). It can be concluded that Tris Turmeric Ethylene Glycol is considered the best agent for improving cold survival and sperm fertility, followed by Tris Turmeric and Tris Turmeric Dimethyl Sulfoxide.

Managemental factors related to productivity levels of dairy animals have been regarded by farm owners in many countries. This study was conducted to reveal the associations of milk yield losses with locomotion score (LcS) in Anatolian buffalo cows.  Buffalo cows (n=61) raised at a private buffalo farm enrolled to the Buffalo Breeders Association (BBA) of Bafra district of Samsun province in Turkey were scored by LcS. To determine the effect of environmental factors, two parity (P; 1=1-2; 2=≥3), stage of lactation (SL; 1=≤118d; 2=≥119d), flank and leg hygiene score (FLHS; 1=1-2; 2=≥3) and body condition score (BCS; 1=1-2; 2=≥3) subgroups were obtained by the group means. To record LcS values, a chart with 1 to 5 points (1=normal, 2=mildly lame, 3=moderately lame, 4=lame and, 5=severely lame) was used. A significant difference (P˂0.05) was found in the loss of daily milk yield (dMYL) of cows with 2 or 2.5 LcS and cows with 3 LcS. Besides, a high correlation (r=0.789; R2=0.791) was estimated between dMYL and LcS. Finally, preventing LcS increment in the herd base was suggested to herd owners to prohibit milk losses.

The aim of the study was to detect variations in the exonic and intronic regions of the myostatin gene in buffaloes with different body conformations. The regions of the gene were analyzed using the PCR-sequencing technique comparing an animal with muscle hypertrophy and ten animals with normal musculature. The hypertrophied buffalo sequence was compared to the others and no exclusive genotype was identified. It suggests that the found MSTN variants are not singly associated to muscle hypertrophy in buffaloes.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the relevance of online psychological testing and determine the level of demand for psychological support of the educational process in the Ukrainian educational system. The tasks of scientific research are focused on reconciling the request for psychological support from Ukrainian school students with the proposals of the psychological cluster in the local educational space. The research methodology involves the organisation of a case study based on interviews with students in the form of open-ended questions about their experiences and the role of psychological tests in education. The use of a homogeneous sample is due to the need to study the basic understanding of the problem of psychological support for schoolchildren in Ukraine in complex socio-cultural conditions. The results of the study can be grouped into two key positions: the demand for psychological support is quite high (92.8%); the use of online psychological testing is highly relevant among students (76.2%) and is one of the priority elements of psychological support in the educational process. The students interviewed who had undergone psychological tests testified to their positive impact on their overall psycho-emotional state and noted their important role in overcoming learning difficulties. The novelty of the study is determined by the socio-cultural conditions of the crisis caused by the martial law in Ukraine and the transformation of the usual psychological support measures for students during their studies. Conclusions. Thus, online psychological tests, which have emerged as an alternative format of psychological support for schooling, have shown satisfactory results in the context of correlation between the demand for psychological assistance and the supply of psychological support from the authorities and school administration. Online testing provides sustainable and continuous psychological support for students, even when it is difficult to communicate with specialists in the field. The role of online psychological testing is growing due to the flexibility and mobility of the organisation, which is especially important in the dynamic conditions of turbulent socio-cultural development. Prospects for the study are to expand the basic case study using a variation sample, which will add a number of important variables to the student audience of the study.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the article is to describe an interplay between school teachers and students in virtual reality when studying mathematics and to reveal its peculiarities in order to maximize the virtual learning environment. This study seeks to achieve the following objectives: to explain the models of interplay between school teachers and students; to outline methodical, organizational, technical, and psychological peculiarities affecting the implementation of a productive interplay; to study the teaching methods enhancing the productivity of interplay; and to reveal the requirements to teachers’ training course on the organization of productive interplay in virtual reality. The research was carried out on the basis of observation methodology involving systematical watching, recording, and analyzing the interactions between teachers and students in the learning environment. The research was organized between September and November, 2023, involved the population of 34 school teachers from five secondary schools. The findings showed that an interplay between teachers and students refers to the dynamic exchange of ideas, feedback, and support within the educational process. A productive interplay between school teachers and students is based on positive communication, clear instructions, mutual respect, empathy, flexibility, and use of collaborative and cooperative approaches to teaching. An interplay between school teachers and students in VR when studying mathematics can be implemented through collaborative learning model, interactive model, student-centered model, flipped classroom model, and peer learning model. Besides, an interplay involves methodical, organizational, technical, and psychological peculiarities affecting its productivity. The research outlined the teaching methods oriented towards the maintenance of a productive interplay between school teachers and students in VR when studying mathematics. It was proved that the incorporation of VR tools in the mathematics classroom demands advanced teachers’ training to use this technology effectively. The findings may be used at the institutions of higher education training future mathematics teachers to update their curriculum.
Cultivating Multicultural Dispositions: Assessing the Impact of a Multicultural Education Course on Preservice Teachers at an HBCU

Published: September 2024

This research examined the impact of a multicultural education course on the cultivation of critical dispositions and cultural competence among future educators at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The purpose of this study was to understand how this course affected students' self-awareness, recognition of personal biases, and broadening of worldviews. Using a mixed-methods approach, post-only quantitative data from the Multicultural Teacher Dispositions Scale (MTDS) and qualitative reflections from 23 preservice teachers selected through convenience sampling were combined in the study. The MTDS evaluates three dispositions of multiculturalism in preservice teachers: meekness, social awareness, and advocacy. The results revealed from moderate to strong endorsement of the meekness disposition, which means openness to diverse perspectives and self-reflection. The social awareness was moderately endorsed, with students recognising systemic inequities and valuing diverse viewpoints in education. The advocacy disposition showed mixed results, highlighting areas for growth in challenging institutional biases and promoting inclusivity. The qualitative analysis identified three key themes in students' reflections: embracing discomfort, self-awareness and bias recognition, effective communication as well as cultural sensitivity. Participants reported broadened worldviews, greater appreciation for cultural diversity, and increased confidence in engaging with diverse backgrounds. The study provided empirical evidence for the effectiveness of structured multicultural education courses in enhancing critical dispositions and cultural competence among preservice teachers. It emphasises the importance of incorporating opportunities for self-reflection, exploration of diverse perspectives, and addressing personal biases and discomfort within teacher preparation programs. These findings are crucial for teacher education programs at HBCUs preparing culturally competent educators for increasingly diverse classrooms. The study also suggests a need for on-going research on strategies to cultivate multicultural dispositions and to study the long-term impact of multicultural education courses on teaching practices.
