Value Pillars of Russian’ Identity under Conditions of Foreign Challenges
Authors: Ryzhova Svetlana V.
Published: November 2024

Based on the data of the general sociological survey of the population of the Russian Federation population in February-March 2024, the value foundations of the all-Russian identity are being studied, which are gaining more and more weight in the context of foreign policy pressures and confrontation between Russia and the collective West. Conceptual basis of the study is theoretical approaches to the exploring identity, values and formation processes of a political nation. The study showed that under the influence of the current president’s discourse and concepts enshrined in the leading strategic planning documents on sovereignty, traditional values and moral leadership, as well as thanks to the symbolic support from the Russian Orthodox Church, an all-Russian identity acquires the features of a macropolitical territorial-state identity. Hierarchically, leading values of the all-Russian macropolitical identity involve both conservative and classical liberal values: “faith in Russia” (42%), “common moral values” (38%), “respect for the rule of law and the rights of citizens, economic and political freedoms” (33%).). The conclusion is made that the value of “faith in Russia” due to its wide content format, political uncertainty and reliance on the all-Russian cultural canon allows it to become an ideological source for nation’s consolidation.

Published: November 2024

The social situation of development largely determines the cognitive and emotional development of a child. The use of digital devices is an important part of the social situation in development of modern preschool children. By the age of 5–6, children start using digital devices independently and in various modes highlighting importance of understanding their usage patterns. A questionnaire was administered to mothers of 663 5–6-year-old children to investigate this topic. It is shown that passive screen time (time spent watching video content) is almost twice as long as active screen (time spent interactively using digital devices, for example, for videogames, communication, learning, creating). It is also shown that screen time on weekends is twice as much as on weekdays. Weekend screen time reaches three hours exceeds age norms by one hour, indicating insufficient engagement in physical activities, non-digital games, and interpersonal communication. There was no difference in screen time between boys and girls. Screen time is shown to be inversely correlated with maternal education level. It is found that less than 30% of children engage in screen time with their parents.

Authors: Khasanshin R. H. , Ouvarov D. V.
Published: November 2024

Experimental data are presented on the minimum values of energies and flux densities of electrons, the impact of which on the cover glasses of solar batteries and reflecting elements of thermoradiators of artificial Earth satellites leads to electrostatic discharges. It has been established that the addition of protons to the composition of the particle flux acting on the studied samples can suppress the development of discharges. For a qualitative interpretation of the results obtained, a mathematical model is proposed.

To the theory of remagnetization kinetics of magnetic composites
Authors: Zubarev A. Y. , Iskakova L. Y.
Published: November 2024

Results of theoretical study of kinetics of the remagnetization of an ensemble of interacting ferromagnetic particles immobilized in a host non -magnetic medium are presented. The results show that the influence of interparticle interaction on the remagnetization is determined by the amplitude of the applied alternating field: it slows down this process in a weak field and accelerates it in a strong field. The interaction of particles increases both components of the complex magnetic susceptibility of the composite.

Published: November 2024

The rapid development of information technologies and their application in
production necessitates the continuous increase in the theoretical and practical
training requirements for specialists in the field of automation of technological
processes. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive approach to organizing
education, which includes the development of new teaching methods and techniques, as
well as the constant updating of educational materials. Analyzing practical teaching
experience under such conditions highlights a special direction in education that
combines methods of scientific research, technology, engineering skills, and
mathematical knowledge, known as STEM education. The full integration of the STEM
approach is most effectively realized through the study of robotics. The development of
robotic systems combines elements of mechanics, electronics, machine theory,
measurement, programming, automated control, and information and communication
technologies. Teaching robotics in engineering specialties enhances overall training
levels, fosters creative abilities, and improves communication skills. Traditionally, a
significant portion of time in robotics studies is devoted to working with equipment.
However, initially due to quarantine restrictions and now due to limitations associated
with ongoing hostilities, such access is restricted. A logical solution to this
situation is the organization of the educational process in a remote format. This paper
substantiates the need to supplement and coordinate remote education methods considering
the cultural, psychological, and sociological factors influenced by the hostilities. It
is proposed to expand the robotics basics course with topics covering the theory and
practical application of conceptual modeling in the design of robotic systems and
complexes. The possibility of conducting practical and laboratory classes based on
online platforms such as Tinkercad Circuits and WokWi is analyzed and justified. A
series of examples demonstrating the potential and capabilities of using this software
in conjunction with conceptual modeling methods is proposed.

organization considering modern innovative and investment trends
Authors: Druzhynin Maksym , Кhomenko Oleksandr , Ryzhakova Galyna
Published: November 2024

The article explores the concept of adaptogenic construction organization, which
ensures the ability of construction enterprises and projects to effectively adapt to
changes in the external environment under the influence of modern innovative and
investment trends. The key characteristics of such organizations are outlined, including
digital transformation, the implementation of advanced technologies, ecological
sustainability, and innovative management methods with a particular emphasis on modular
construction and other types of post-war reconstruction. The development of modular
technologies is examined, covering various aspects of this approach, from its economic
benefits to ecological and architectural opportunities, which experienced a breakthrough
after World War II for the rapid and cost-effective restoration of housing stock.
Examples of failures in modular construction technologies are provided, serving as
practical lessons for the industry. Special attention is paid to flexible management
mechanisms and risk minimization, which enhance the competitiveness of construction
companies in conditions of market instability and uncertainty. Other innovative methods,
such as skyscraper construction, rehabilitation of existing buildings, and the
introduction of green technologies, are also explored, as they have become crucial for
urban recovery after destruction. The article reviews modern construction standards and
ecological management practices, which help Ukraine move toward sustainable development
and improve the environmental situation in the construction sector. An analysis of
international standards (LEED, BREEAM, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, EDGE, WELL, and others) is
conducted, which contribute to increasing sustainability and energy efficiency in modern
construction development projects. Examples of the implementation of innovative
approaches in the construction of residential and commercial buildings are presented, as
well as projects that apply sustainable development principles. The article also
emphasizes the need for legislative adaptation and the introduction of new technologies
in the construction industry. Successful examples of the rehabilitation of existing
buildings, innovative approaches to the creation of public spaces, and the integration
of ecological practices into urban environments are highlighted.
Analytical-applied and organizational-structural support for innovative development
processes in agro-construction cluster enterprises
Authors: Onikienko Nadiia
Published: November 2024

This article explores the economic and managerial aspects of innovative
development within agro-construction clusters based on modern theoretical and
methodological premises and models of economic dynamics. The primary focus is on
analyzing territorial-industrial clusters that promote innovation and enhance the
efficiency of interaction between agricultural and construction enterprises. The article
discusses cyclical models of economic dynamics (Solow, Romer, and Cobb-Douglas models)
as tools for assessing the impact of innovation and identifying innovation stagnation.
These models help explain how economic processes unfold in different regions under the
influence of periodic (cyclical) changes and how these processes interact with spatial
factors. The aim of the study is to develop recommendations for improving the management
of clustering processes through the effective use of economic-mathematical models and
risk analysis associated with cluster organization. The article examines the key
advantages of territorial-industrial clusters, including increased productivity,
innovative development, and economies of scale through shared resource use. At the same
time, risks such as market monopolization, high entry costs for new participants,
dependence on regional specificities, and excessive competition among participants are
explored. The article also highlights the importance of integrating
economic-mathematical models into modern management information systems (BIM – Building
Information Modeling, ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning, SCM – Supply Chain
Management), which allow for more effective forecasting of cluster development and
identifying factors that contribute to or hinder innovative development. As a result,
recommendations are proposed for improving management approaches to minimize risks and
maximize the benefits of clustering, particularly in the agro-construction sector of
Ukraine.
Algorithm for controlling the operation of energy-efficient gas production points
Authors: Franchuk Yury , Klapchenko Vasily , Kuznetsova Irina
Published: November 2024

During the operation of gas distribution networks, the gas pressure when moving to
the consumer decreases at the gas distribution point (GDP). When the gas pressure at the
hydraulic fracturing site decreases, a decrease in the temperature of the transported
gas is observed (Joule-Thompson effect or adiabatic expansion). As a result of a
decrease in gas temperature, condensate may form in the form of liquid fractions and
crystalline hydrates. As a result, it becomes possible that the operation of the
hydraulic fracturing pressure regulator will deviate from the planned mode with possible
condensate adhesion on the walls, impulse tubes and cavities of the regulator, affecting
the operation of instrumentation, contamination of filters, etc. Traditionally, this is
dealt with by maintaining the required gas temperature through partial combustion of the
transported gas with heating of the hydraulic fracturing room and gas. But always, when
burning gas, certain volumes of it were consumed, and therefore funds, and at the same
time gas combustion products entered the atmosphere. In addition, gas combustion, that
is, the use of open fire, increased the risks of hydraulic fracturing. In this paper, it
is proposed another algorithm for the gas preparation process when supplying it to the
consumer: to abandon additional gas costs and the disadvantages indicated with the
combustion procedure, while maintaining the necessary quality of gas preparation for its
further use using a simple conversion of bypass lines with two vortex channels. The
basis for this method of gas preparation was a series of works by the Department of
Physics on the theoretical substantiation of statistical patterns in the formation of
directed molecular flows. The proposed physical statistics is based on the universal
mechanism of long-range wave action (ULWM), the selective nature of which at the stage
of continuous streamers determines both the speed of the wave component and the loss of
rotational degrees of freedom of molecular motion. Thanks to this, we observe thermal
effects inherent in the Ranque-Hilsch effect. On this physical basis, an explanation is
given for the operation of both vortex tubes and a number of atmospheric phenomena,
including tornadoes and the appearance of lightning. It is on the basis of ULWM that a
description of the physical essence of the operation of two vortex channels
(condensation and decondensation) is given with a gain in energy and quality of
preparation of the gas mixture.
Overview of modern approaches to conflict management in distributed IT-projects
Authors: Oksamutna Lubov , Torba Tetyana
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the concept of conflict and the features of a distributed
team working in conditions of geographical distance, cultural differences and
communication barriers. The authors emphasize that these factors often cause conflicts
in distributed teams, as they complicate the interaction between team members, lead to
misunderstandings and reduce the effectiveness of joint work. It is noted that conflicts
can be of different nature: from personal disputes to professional disagreements
regarding the implementation of project tasks and goals. Regarding the concept of
conflict, various definitions and concepts that have different interpretations were
considered.The article pays special attention to the analysis of the causes of conflicts
in distributed teams. In particular, the authors highlight such main factors as
geographical distance, which makes direct communication difficult; cultural differences
that can cause different interpretations of the same situations and actions; as well as
communication barriers arising from differences in language skills and the use of
different means of communication. Such factors contribute to the emergence of
misunderstandings, reduce the level of trust and cooperation among team members, which
negatively affects the effectiveness of projects.Creative approaches to conflict
management are proposed, which include the use of modern tools to improve communication,
promote cooperation and ensure effective information exchange between team members. The
authors emphasize the importance of creating a favorable environment for open discussion
of problems and active listening, which allows timely identification and resolution of
conflicts.In addition, methods of a creative approach to conflict management, such as
facilitation, mediation, and the use of technologies for virtual cooperation, are
considered. These methods are aimed at minimizing the negative consequences of conflicts
that can affect the development and outcome of the project. Strategies to minimize
negative consequences include developing clear communication rules, holding regular
meetings to discuss current issues, and using project management software. The prospect
of further research is the development of models and methods of creative conflict
management in distributed IT projects. This includes creating innovative approaches and
tools to help resolve conflicts effectively with minimal loss to the team and the
project. Such research may cover the following aspects: development of integrated
communication platforms, analysis of cultural differences and their impact on team
dynamics, implementation of facilitation and mediation methods, development of stress
and emotion management techniques, creation of team dynamics models, study of the impact
of different leadership styles, and development of policies and procedures for
systematic conflict management.
Analysis of modern approaches to management of complex IT projects
Authors: Putii Illia , Teslenko Pavlo
Published: November 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of managing complex IT projects. Their
essence is revealed and the classification of factors affecting complexity is presented.
In the work, complex IT projects are those that require research and experimental
confirmation of project decision-making. It is shown that the complexity can arise
already at the beginning of the project, during the formation of its goal, or it can be
during the execution of project works, such complexity is related to the complexity of
project implementation. The work shows that the project can be classified as complex
based on certain qualitative and quantitative factors. The complexity of behavior was
considered separately, namely due to the technical complexity of project implementation,
which will require the use of complex technologies. This manifests itself as a lack of
experience and appropriate skills in the project team. To ensure effective management of
complex IT projects, developers use flexible management technologies, Agile, which
reduce project uncertainty through iterative development. But when the project team does
not have much experience in product development, or does not have the technology, when
the result of the application of innovations in management is unknown in advance,
research and experimental confirmation are used. To overcome the complexity during the
implementation of IT projects, it is recommended to use the approach called Spikes in
English. The work presents the author's interpretation of the definition of Spikes and
examples of their application. The relationship between innovativeness and complexity of
IT projects in the sense of using Spikes is revealed. For the second group of complex IT
projects, where the complexity is manifested at the beginning of the project work, the
application of the procedure of research and development works is proposed. The article
highlights the author's position regarding the purpose and degree of scientific research
in IT projects. It is noted that this approach is used exclusively for obtaining an IT
product, not a scientific product. The methods of managing scientific and research works
in IT projects are analyzed, their place and importance in ensuring the successful
completion of complex projects is shown. The hypothesis management workflow is
considered as an element of managing complex IT projects.

Published: November 2024

The article analyzes approaches of managing the content of bank IT projects, which
is key to the successful implementation of new banking products. The article examines
literary sources on content management, including theoretical definitions and practical
application in the banking sector. The importance of banks for the country's economy and
the integration of IT projects for the automation of banking services are emphasized.
The peculiarities and challenges of managing development teams in the conditions of
martial law, which requires additional security and flexibility measures, with the need
to take into account risk management, are considered. Risk minimization strategies are
analyzed, in particular during military conflicts, which is especially relevant in the
conditions of modern challenges. Considerable attention is paid to the adaptation of
project teams to remote work, which has become a necessity in the conditions of the
pandemic and the legal regime of martial law. In addition, issues related to the
organization of communication in remote teams and methods of supporting high employee
productivity are considered. Using content management software is extremely important,
so a variety of software has been suggested. An integrated analysis of the effectiveness
of various software products for managing the content of IT projects was carried out,
which allows choosing the optimal tools for specific tasks. The paper presents the
methods of assessing the labor intensity and proposed approaches to automating the
assessment of the labor intensity of software development. Integrating the strengths of
various software development methodologies allows you to create an effective system for
managing the content of IT projects, which contributes to increasing their success and
minimizing risks. Based on the analysis, conclusions were drawn regarding the need to
introduce new technologies and approaches to IT project management in the banking
sector, which will lead to greater efficiency and stability in conditions of
instability.
Optimization of business process management in engineering companies
Authors: Tkachenko Fedir , Danchenko Olena
Published: November 2024

This article is dedicated to the study of methods and approaches to optimizing
business process management in engineering companies aimed at enhancing their
efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. In today's market, where technological
innovations and the speed of response to changes are critically important, optimizing
business processes becomes not just desirable but necessary. The process-oriented
approach to management is a key tool that allows considering a company's activities as
an integrated system of interconnected processes, ensuring transparency and control over
each stage of work. The authors examine the importance of business process modeling, its
goals, and stages, which include analyzing current processes, identifying bottlenecks,
and developing optimized solutions. Modeling allows not only visualizing and
understanding existing processes but also predicting the possible consequences of
changes and their impact on the overall efficiency of the company. Special attention is
given to the main modeling standards such as SADT (Structured Analysis and Design
Technique), which is used for structured analysis, software formation, and information
system development; IDEF (Integration Definition for Function Modeling), which provides
modeling of complex systems, model representation, and analysis; ARIS (Architecture of
Integrated Information Systems), which supports a comprehensive approach to business
process modeling, including description, analysis, improvement, preparation for the
implementation of complex information systems, and control; BPMN (Business Process Model
and Notation), which provides graphical representations of processes for simple and
accessible use; and BPEL (Business Process Execution Language), which focuses on
bridging the gap between modeling and executing business processes.Attention is also
given to the main methods of optimizing business process management, such as the Fast
Analysis Solution Technology (FAST) method, which allows quick assessment and
improvement of processes; process benchmarking, which involves comparing one's own
processes with the best practices in the industry; process redesign, which includes a
complete review and reconstruction of processes for their improvement; and process
reengineering, which involves radical changes in processes to achieve significant
improvements in key performance indicators. An important aspect is the comparison of
evolutionary and revolutionary approaches to business process optimization. The
comparison is based on the methods of process benchmarking and process reengineering,
where the former involves gradual changes and improvements, while the latter requires
radical changes and innovative solutions to achieve maximum efficiency.
Possible Hexaquark Explanation for the X(2370)
Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: November 2024

The BESIII Collaboration performed a partial wave calculation for decays of the X(2370) into γ Ks0 Ks0 η'. The decays exhibit a resonance X(2370) that has a Jπ = 0¯ assignment with a mass of 2395 MeV/c2.

The X(2370) is modeled as a Ks0 Ks0 η' hexaquark state with minimal coupling between the three meson clusters. The model predicts the correct Jπ value, and the calculated mass is about 15% less than the experimental value.

Authors: Avelino Frandoloso Gibran , Fabricio Rafael , Parolin Mulinari Rodrigo , Eduardo Carvalho João , Mattos de Barros Murilo
Published: November 2024

Hypopituitarism is a rare yet notable complication following neurosurgery in the suprasellar region. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who developed both clinical and laboratory-confirmed hypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus after undergoing surgical resection of a meningioma that involved the optic chiasm and pituitary stalk. While the tumor was successfully removed, the patient faced postoperative challenges, including elevated intracranial pressure, polyuria, and hormonal deficiencies, which were indicative of secondary hypopituitarism. This case underscores the necessity for prompt endocrine assessment and vigilant postoperative surveillance in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary region. Timely diagnosis and treatment of hypopituitarism are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
Is Semantic Chunking Worth the Computational Cost?
Authors: Qu Renyi , Bao Forrest , Tu Ruixuan
Published: November 2024

Recent advances in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have popularized SEMANTIC CHUNKING, which aims to improve retrieval performance by dividing documents into semantically coherent segments. Despite its growing adoption, the actual benefits over simpler FIXED-SIZE CHUNKING, where documents are split into consecutive, fixed-size segments, remain unclear. This study systematically evaluates the effectiveness of semantic chunking using three common retrieval-related tasks: document retrieval, evidence retrieval, and retrieval-based answer generation. The results show that the computational costs associated with semantic chunking are not justified by consistent performance gains. These findings challenge the previous assumptions about semantic chunking and highlight the need for more efficient chunking strategies in RAG systems.
Stokes’ Theorem for Spiral Paths
Authors: Tozzi Arturo
Published: November 2024

The macroscopic flow along the boundary of a closed curve is equivalent to the cumulative sum of microscopic flows within the enclosed area. Green’s theorem formalizes this relationship by connecting the counterclockwise flow within the surface of a two-dimensional manifold to the counterclockwise flow along its boundary. Building on this, Stokes’ theorem (henceforth ST) extends the concept to three-dimensional manifolds. By converting a surface integral of the curl of a vector field over the surface into a line integral around the boundary, ST enables the assessment of surface flows based on their boundary flows. In this context, we propose a further generalization of ST to include helicoidal spiral paths. This extension is applicable to a wide range of physical and biological systems where spiral motion plays a significant role, providing a robust framework for in-depth analysis of complex dynamical systems across multiple disciplines.
Rethinking the Drivers of Coronavirus Virulence and Pathogenesis: Toward an Understanding of the Dynamic World of Mutations, Indels, and Recombination Within the Species Alphacoronavirus-1
Authors: Olarte-Castillo Ximena A. , Choi Annette , Frazier Laura E. , Whittaker Gary
Published: November 2024

Alphacoronaviruses are widespread but understudied in comparison to betacoronaviruses. Recombination, mutations, and indels are hallmarks of coronavirus replication, which together facilitate viral spillover and emergence, especially within the alphacoronaviruses. The species _Alphacoronavirus-1_ comprises distinct viruses of cats, dogs and pigs. In cats, high-pathogenicity feline coronavirus (FCoV) is infamous as the cause of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a lethal disease that can now be treated with antiviral drugs. FCoV-1 exists as two distinct genotypes (type -1 and -2) and is transmitted as a low-pathogenicity virus that causes mild or asymptomatic disease. The high-pathogenicity FCoV variants arise in cats already infected with FCoV, and while the mutations responsible for this phenotype change remain enigmatic, the main determinant of pathogenicity is the viral spike glycoprotein. FCoV-1 disease outcome is driven by a combination of both within- and between-host evolution, whereas FCoV-2 disease appears to be driven by recombination with co-circulating canine coronaviruses (CCoV). FCoV-1 virulence can be largely explained using the “furin cleavage site (FCS) disruption hypothesis,” which argues that low-pathogenicity FCoV-1 contains an intact FCS while high-pathogenicity FCoV-1 has a disrupted FCS that is unable to be cleaved. FCoV-2 virulence and pathogenesis is exemplified by FCoV-23, a novel canine/feline recombinant virus that caused a widespread outbreak of severe disease in Cyprus during 2023. As such, _Alphacoronavirus-1 _mayexist as adynamic "metavirome"1 that is in a constant state of flux, presenting notable challenges for disease surveillance and management, and in risk-assessment.

Published: November 2024

In this work, we studied the avian diversity of an urban environment in the northern Algerian Sahara (Ghardaïa city). Bird data was collected using point counts distributed across three habitats of the urban-rural gradient. A one-way analysis of variance was used to assess the impact of habitat on species richness, number of families, and species abundance. During this study, 44 bird species belonging to 10 orders and 23 families were identified. The highest values of the Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H' = 3.82), Margalef index (D = 3.66), and Simpson index (D = 0.92) were observed in the rural habitat. The differences in species number, families, and abundance were significant among the different habitats, with rural habitats on the outskirts of the city harboring the greatest number of bird species and families.
Violencia, Verdad y Diferencia ontológica. Un análisis fenomenológico a partir de Girard.
Authors: García Sánchez Jacobo
Published: November 2024

En este artículo ensayamos una lectura fenomenológica de los conceptos girardianos de violencia, víctima expiatoria e ignorancia sacrificial. En un primer momento, estudiaremos las categorías filosófico-fundamentales de Verdad, Fenómeno y Ser a la luz de los análisis de Girard sobre el mecanismo mimético-expiatorio; el objetivo será mostrar cómo la determinación del fenómeno desde el horizonte de la diferencia ontológica oculta, necesariamente, la esencia de la violencia sacrificial. Posteriormente, analizaremos cómo la revelación bíblica de la estructura de tal violencia trae consigo una posición ontológica que desborda, por principio, la determinación del ser como diferencia. Tal posición ontológica, que se realiza plenamente en la figura de Jesús de Nazaret, revela la esencia del Padre como Amor, pues “solo el amor perfecto de Cristo puede cumplir sin violencia la revelación perfecta” (Girard, 2021, p. 276).

Published: November 2024

The implementation of Islamic law in Aceh over the past two decades has not only reflected the enforcement of Sharia but also illustrated the cultural and political dynamics of Acehnese society. As a region rich in customary law traditions and social pluralism, the response of Acehnese communities, particularly in multicultural border areas, to violations of Islamic law and its existence varies widely. Islamic law in Aceh is often interpreted through the lens of political identity and local culture, while the maqashid sharia values, such as the protection of life, property, and security have yet to be fully integrated into daily practices. This study employs an anthropological approach with qualitative methods. Data collection was conducted through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and narrative analysis of the experiences and perspectives of local communities. The study focuses on how communities construct, understand, and respond to Sharia as part of their social lives. The findings reveal that border communities in Aceh perceive Islamic law not only as a religious rule but also as a political identity symbol to reinforce their social standing, including in rejecting the construction of non-Muslim places of worship. However, the study also highlights a gap in understanding and applying maqashid sharia, attributed to limited socialization and cross-cultural dialogue. Nevertheless, Islamic law remains respected as a crucial element of the social structure, although its interpretation is often situational and contextual.

Background and Objectives: Investigating and recognizing the factors affecting the psychological health of the elderly plays an effective and key role in improving their life. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the role of spiritual capital and sense of coherence (SOC) in predicting the psychological health of elderly women.
Methods: The present descriptive correlational research was done on the elderly women covered by the Imam Khomeini (RA) relief committee of South Khorasan Province, Iran, in the fall of 2023. A total of 120 eligible individuals were selected as the research sample using the convenience sampling method. The data collection tools included the spiritual capital scale by Golparvar et al. Antonovsky’s SOC Questionnaire, and the psychological health subscale of the short form of the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire. For data analysis, the Pearson correlation test and multiple regression were employed using SPSS software, version 24, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: The results showed a direct relationship between spiritual capital and SOC with the psychological health of elderly women (P<0.01). The components of spiritual capital explained 55% of the variance in psychological health, while the components of SOC explained 36% of the variance.
Conclusion: Strengthening and placing greater emphasis on spiritual capital and SOC, along with holding educational workshops to increase awareness among the elderly, will provide a foundation for improving psychological health.

Authors: Dr Archana K Deshmukh
Published: November 2024

This research article explores the eco-consciousness in Jim Corbett's writings, emphasizing his deep connection to nature and his commitment to wildlife conservation highlighting his dual role as a hunter and conservationist, revealing his empathy for animals and understanding of their ecological significance. While Corbett's tales are often thrilling accounts of hunting man-eaters, they also contain profound reflections on environmental balance and respect for all species. Written at a time when the modern conservation movement was in its infancy, Corbett’s works showcase a forward-thinking approach to ecological preservation, advocating for a shift from anthropocentrism to a more inclusive view of nature’s intrinsic value. This literary analysis underscores how Corbett’s blend of adventure storytelling with environmental insight remains relevant, especially in today’s demanding context of environmental crisis. Through an ecocritical lens, this article argues that Corbett’s writing serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable and ethical stewardship of nature.

Lake Tisza is a lowland reservoir with an area of 127 km2 in the middle of the Carpathian Basin established in the 1970s. Among its original functions, in addition to flood control, it was expected to irrigate a larger agricultural area and increase water freight transport. Today, buffering of extreme water conditions, nature conservation and recreation have become the main profiles. The diverse hydroecological features and mosaic landscape structure of the lake allow for versatile nature conservation and utilization in tourism. This differentiated use is in line with the worldwide trend of favouring locations with multiple leisure activities in close proximity to each other. Lake Tisza offers fishing, swimming, sailing, canoeing, nature observation boating and cycling opportunities, but due to its status as a Ramsar bird conservation site, it is also a valuable destination for ornithologists. In the course of our research, we examined the current spatial pattern of these activities and the possible arrangement of expedient further development.

Hypertension is a disease with a global prevalence of 1.3 billion cases in 2019, which is the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia is 34.1% among the adult population, with a mortality rate of 427,218. The failure of hypertension patient management is mostly due to a lack of awareness of the importance of adherence to hypertension treatment and a lack of knowledge. This study aims to determine the effect of health education by health volunteers using e-booklet on the knowledge and adherence to treatment of hypertensive patients at Batujajar Health Center area. This study used a quasi-experimental design with intervention and control groups. The sample in this study consisted of 32 respondents, who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The results showed that health education by health volunteers using e-booklet significantly increased the mean knowledge of hypertensive patients, with the mean value of knowledge rising from 75.6 to 86.8 after the intervention. Patients' adherence to treatment also increased, with the mean value rising from 4.4 to 6. The results showed a significant positive effect on both variables, with a p-value of 0.016 for knowledge and 0.001 for treatment adherence, respectively. Based on the findings, health education conducted by health volunteers using e-booklets significantly impacts the knowledge and medication adherence of hypertension patients in the Batujajar Health Center area. It is recommended that health volunteer training be conducted periodically by healthcare professional and that the e-booklet be utilized as an educational tool at the health center and as a credible reference source for the community.
