SOLID DISPERSIONS OF TRICLABENDAZOLE AND THEIR PROPERTIES
Authors: Khalikov M. S.
Published: May 2024

The study purpose: systematization of research results on the production technology
and properties of triclabendazole (TCB)-based solid dispersions and polymer
substances. Research results: we performed the analysis of technology features for
producing solid dispersions (SDs) of the TCB substance with various polymeric
substances (polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxyethyl starch, pectins, arabinogalactan, etc.),
physicochemical properties of the obtained SDs (solubility, TCB preservation and
release in model systems), toxicity, and biological activity. HPLC and UV spectroscopy
methods were used to study the TCB solubility, preservation, and release from SDs. The
solubility rate was taken as an optimization parameter according to which Triclafascid
was selected in the form of a SD in the formulation TCB:AG (1:9) for its further
introduction into veterinary practice. We studied parameters of the toxicity and antifasciloid effect, process performance, and other parameters as required to introduce
Triclafascid. To improve the solubility of Triclafascid, an alternative approach was
used to obtain its salt forms by including succinic acid in its formulation. The resulting
SDs had significantly higher solubility and efficacy parameters when the TCB dosage
was reduced. A series of studies was conducted to develop laboratory regulations and
pilot production regulations for introducing Triclafascid into veterinary practice.
Conclusions: the systematization of the obtained data on formulation, and on studying
physical, chemical, technological, and biological properties made it possible to
determine measures to introduce Triclafascid into veterinary practice.
HISTOCHEMICAL REACTIVITY ASSESSMENT OF THE GLYCOCALYX IN TREMATODES BEFORE AND AFTER ANTHELMINTIC
Authors: Bibik O. I.
Published: May 2024

The structural organization of the glycocalyx layer in contact with the plasma
membrane of the trematode tegument is a mechanism that ensures parasite’s body
homeostasis and homeorhesis, and therefore its shape and morphological structure
preservation. The analysis by a common method of histological preparations made
from trematodes before and after anthelmintics and histochemically stained for
mucopolysaccharides in the tegument using light microscopy showed that the
anthelmintic effect caused changes in the staining of structural components of the
organ. After anthelmintics, histochemical reactivity and tinctorial properties of the
glycocalyx located on the trematode tegument membrane surface changed. The
color grade change in stained glycocalyx and tegument in trematodes after the drugs
indicates quantity and quality redistribution of glycosaminoglycans that ensure
vital physiological processes of helminths. Any damage to the glycocalyx structure
and metabolic processes in its layer by an anthelmintic informs about changes in
chemical nature of biocomponents of the surface part of the parasite's body. Severe
swelling of the tegument and basal membrane due to increased permeability of
boundary structures and interaction of water molecules with biopolymers causes
their swelling with changing the conformational structure. Protective glycocalyx
properties are disrupted, which means a reduction in absorption, adhesiveness and
barrier functions of trematodes in the host-parasite system.

Published: May 2024

The antiparasitic activity of disinfectants is provided by active substances (AS) they
contain. A disinfectant often contains several active substances. A correctly selected
ratio of the composition components creates a synergistic effect due to which the
antiparasitic activity of a disinfectant is increased. However, the opposite effect is
also possible when individual components can reduce disinfection properties of a
disinfectant with neutralizing other active substances included in its formulation.
This article is devoted to the results of the study on ovicidal efficacy (OE) of
three disinfectant compositions based on Dazomet with the addition of additive
components such as ADBAC and Triameen Y12D. In addition, an analysis was carried out of the dependence of the drug disinfection activity on the combination
of active substances included in its formulation. It was found that ADBAC added to
Dazomet enhanced its ovicidal effect and added Triameen weakened it. The OE of
the drugs was studied for non-invasive Ascaris suum eggs isolated from the genital
organs of a female swine roundworm. The experiments were carried out using the
suspension method with a multipurpose microchamber. The exposure time was 24
hours. The egg viability after disinfectant treatment was determined by cultivation
in a humidity chamber.
Triangulation does not support reported prospective effects on work engagement: Simulated reanalyses of twelve cross-lagged panel models
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Folke Filippa , Melin Bo , Melin Marika
Published: May 2024

Studies using cross-lagged panel models (CLPM) have shown prospective effects of initial scores on various predictors, e.g., job control and depressive symptoms, on subsequent scores on work engagement when adjusting for initial work engagement. However, it is well established that cross-lagged effects may be spurious due to correlations with residuals and regression to the mean. Here, we reanalyzed data simulated to resemble data in twelve studies using CLPM, suggesting increasing/decreasing prospective effects on work engagement. Through triangulation, we show that all of these twelve suggested prospective effects appear to have been spurious rather than truly increasing/decreasing. Researchers need to be aware that correlations, including effects in cross-lagged panel models, do not prove causality. For improved causal inference, we recommend researchers to triangulate and scrutinize cross-lagged effects by fitting complementary models to their data.

Seemingly "habitual” responses can be caused by both habits and strategic action selection
Authors: Du Yue , Haith Adrian
Published: May 2024

After we have practiced a task extensively, we often struggle to adapt to changes in task requirements, committing frequent habitual “slips of action” where we revert to our originally learned actions. Habitual action selection of this kind is often attributed to an obligatory stimulus-response association which competes with goal-directed responses. An alternative interpretation, however, is that, when task requirements change, we adjust by strategically building on our existing learning. That is, we may first retrieve the action we originally practiced, then switch this to a different action if needed. This retrieve-then-switch strategy may simplify learning and reduce cognitive effort under the altered task, particularly if changes from the original task are minor. To dissociate these two potential mechanisms underlying apparent habitual behavior, we recruited two groups of participants to practice a novel visuomotor association. We assessed habitual responses either by switching the responses for two out of five cues (partial-remapping group), in which case a retrieve-then-replace strategy may be advantageous, or by completely permuting the responses for all five cues (full-remapping group), in which case there would be no benefit to using a retrieve-then-replace strategy. We observed clear habitual behavior in both groups, confirming that participants do form an obligatory habit through practice. We also observed, however, that habitual responses were exacerbated in the partial-remapping group, supporting the view that participants adopted a retrieve-then-switch strategy in this case. Our findings support existing views of habits, but also demonstrate that measures of habitual behavior can be confounded by participant strategies.
Clarifying the Relationship Between Aggression and Self-Control Using Random Item Slope Regression
Authors: West Samuel James , Thomson Nicholas D.
Published: May 2024

Objective: Myriad psychological research evinces a negative association between self-control and aggression with some arguing for self-control failure as a cause of aggression. Recent literature suggests that the relationship between aggression and self-control is likely more complex and even positive in some cases. One source of such conflict in the literature could be the presence of unaccounted for random item slopes in commonly used measures of self-control which may inflate the likelihood of Type-I errors. This study (N = 1,386) tested the hypothesis that self-control would share random item slopes with the facets of trait aggression using random item slope regression. Method: We measured trait aggression and self-control via two common self-reports: the Buss-Perry Questionnaire and the Brief Self Control Scale. Results: Our analyses revealed that the facets of trait aggression shared significant random item slopes with self-control and that many of these slopes were positive, rather than negative. We also found that Type I error inflation was evident in models that did not account for these random slopes. Conclusions: These findings may in part explain some of the conflicting results in the literature and that researchers interested in studying self-control and aggression should test for random item slopes.
¡Iniciando! la Adultez (Launching! to Adulthood): A cultural and linguistic adaptation of a group therapy program for young adults with autism spectrum disorder transitioning to adulthood
Authors: Pagan Antonio F
Published: May 2024

Objectives: The transition to adulthood is a formative period of development for young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as they work towards independence and managing adult responsibilities. While evidence-based interventions have been developed for young adults with ASD, they have rarely been culturally and linguistically adapted for the Latino, Spanish-speaking community. The present study provided initial feasibility and acceptability data for a therapy program for Latino young adults with ASD transitioning to adulthood and their Spanish-speaking parents. Methods: The culturally adapted and translated intervention, called ¡Iniciando! la Adultez, is a 10-week therapy program based on an evidence-based treatment (Launching! to Adulthood). The culturally and linguistically adapted therapy program now includes a weekend webinar series, Spanish parent group sessions, longer individual sessions, and more family sessions. Culturally, the Spanish-translated programs includes Latino values and integrates parents into the young adults’ transition. Results: ¡Iniciando! was acceptable and feasible for the all participants (n = 64), with high ratings of satisfaction and cultural fit for parents (n = 38) and young adults (n = 26). Conclusion: By culturally and linguistically adapting this intervention program, we were able to provide an intervention program to an underserved community and simultaneously help young adults with ASD transition to adulthood.
Quiet eyes: Visual gaze stability predicts intra- and interindividual differences in attention control
Authors: Robison Matthew Kyle , Garner Lauren , Campbell Stephen
Published: May 2024

In the present study, we examined oculomotor dynamics during the completion of three measures of attention control among a large sample of young adults (N = 388). First, we address the ongoing question regarding the coherence of attention control as a cognitive construct. Here we find that attention control can be measured reliably and is correlated with yet distinct from working memory capacity. Then, we examined fixation stability prior to cue and stimulus onsets in the antisaccade, psychomotor vigilance, and sustained-attention-to-cue tasks. We hypothesized that gaze stability – or Quiet Eye (QE) – would be associated with superior attention control both within and between individuals. In the antisaccade and psychomotor vigilance tasks, accurate and fast responses were preceded by a more stable gaze position. In all three tasks, attention performance was correlated with gaze stability across individuals. Finally, individual differences in QE were distinct from individual differences in working memory capacity and self-reported motivation, each of which also accounted for variance in attention control. The findings affirm the presence of attention control as a cognitive construct and provide new insight into the mechanisms that underlie intra- and interindividual variability in attention.
Preserving Public Trust in Historical Data and Documents through Decentralization in the Age of AI
Authors: Kaurov Alexander A , Khramtsova Ekaterina , Oreskes Naomi
Published: May 2024

Onset of generative AI threatens public trust in data and documents that are crucial for informed decision-making in our society. We explore whether decentralization technology, such as blockchain, can ensure public trust by distributing data and documents storage across multiple private and public institutions, rather than relying on single entities. Based on US surveys, we numerically show that a broadly trusted system is achievable through diverse institutional participation even when trust in individuals institutions can be low.

Review on Remittance and its Effect on Human Development in Developing Countries
Authors: Khanal Ram Prasad
Published: May 2024

As a percentage of its GDP, Nepal is one of the nations that receive the most remittances worldwide. Remittance income in the context of developing countries like Nepal plays a significant role in determining the structure and dynamics of the entire economy. It also has an impact on important aspects of human development, including life expectancy at birth, the average number of years spent in school, and gross national income per person. The human development should be promoted in an economy because human beings are the end in each other without the need for any justification. Nonetheless, the link between remittances and human development in underdeveloped nations has received little research. Remittances also positively affect poverty, inequality, human capital, and life expectancy (Adams, 2011), especially in developing countries. This article reviewed the empirical evidence of ten different research article published in different journals after 2018 onwards to carry out the conclusion regarding the remittance and impact on human development.

College students when entering the early adult phase have experienced puberty which is marked by menstruation. The duration of menstruation between one woman and another varies greatly so that the volume of blood released also varies. Excessive blood loss can reduce iron (Fe) levels in the body of female students and can affect erythrocyte morphology. Researchers conducted this study with the aim of knowing the description of erythrocyte morphology of female college students during menstruation. The research conducted is included in the type of descriptive research with observational design. The population was d3 TLM class 12 students with a sample size of 20 students who were experiencing menstruation. The sampling technique used incidental sampling. The results described the morphology of erythrocytes in female students of DIII Medical Laboratory Technology Batch XII Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang during menstruation on the 4th day based on aspects of assessment of erythrocyte size, namely 7 people (35%) included in the microcytic category and 13 people (65%) included in the normocytic category. Based on the aspect of erythrocyte staining, 7 people (35%) were included in the hypochromic category and 13 people (65%) were included in the normochromic category. While based on the aspect of assessing the shape of erythrocytes, all 20 respondents (100%) were included in the mild poikilocytosis category. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is the picture of erythrocyte morphology of DIII Medical Laboratory Technology Batch XII Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang students during menstruation on the 4th day, out of 20 respondents as many as 7 people (35%) showed hypochromic microcytic erythrocyte morphological abnormalities with mild poikilocytosis and 13 people (65%) showed normocytic normochromic erythrocyte morphological abnormalities with mild poikilocytosis. It is recommended to increase the consumption of vegetables and foods that increase the formation of red blood cells during menstruation.

The author has primarily employed the legal-dogmatic method in the research. The analysis has found that: (1) the authorities applying the measures under Article 275a § 1 and 3, Article 275 § 3 and Article 244 § 1a and 1b of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure currently do not have at their disposal the competences and/or the methods allowing them to adequately apply the measures stipulated for in those provisions; (2) the methods applied by the Polish authorities, on decisions on the application and the scope of application of measures stipulated for in those provisions, must be changed.
Wolność religijna w ośrodkach izolacji nieletnich w świetle polskich regulacji
Authors: Sitarz Olga , Jaworska-Wieloch Anna , Hanc Jakub
Published: May 2024

The subject matter of this publication is the issue of religious freedom of juveniles placed in isolation centres, with particular attention to the competitiveness of the entities that co-shape the decision on the scope of the right to religious practices and services in such centres, i.e., the child themselves, their parents or guardians and the administration of the correctional institution. The paper considers the importance of a child’s religious freedom and their right to self-determination. It goes on to consider the rights of parents or guardians to raise their child in their faith and culture, both in light of Polish and international regulations. This is a particularly momentous problem, especially in the event of incompatibility between the child’s will and the parents’ decision in this regard. On the one hand, the legislator has decided that a child of a certain age is sufficiently aware to be responsible for their actions, while on the other hand, the child cannot yet decide on their own to participate in religion lessons and religious practices and services. Finally, it is attempted in the publication to decode the scope of the authority of the administration of correctional institutions and juvenile correctional centres on the subject of religious freedom of their residents. This is an issue relevant not only to the field of criminal and juvenile law, but also to human rights.

Core competencies in the professional practice of the library and information science programme
Authors: Duran-Riquelme Alex , Flores-Fernández Cherie , Riquelme-Ríos Judith
Published: May 2024

A professional practice is a type of internship, a practicum, that encompasses a supervised hands-on training experience for students to develop and identify the core and enabling competencies required in a professional environment. It also allows them to identify the developed and underdeveloped skills that are important in the labour environment while still undergoing an academic training. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine the core and enabling competencies required and developed by the students coursing the Library and Information Science Programme at Universidad Tecnologica Metropolitana during their professional practices carried out from 2019 through 2021. To this end, a questionnaire with open and closed-ended questions was used as data collection instrument. It was applied to a sample of 64 graduates from this Programme, out of a universe of 70 students in addition to a focus group to delve deeper into the answers obtained. The results established that both core and enabling competencies had been relevant in their professional practice. The most relevant core competencies were those related to information and knowledge services; information analysis and data retrieval; and organisation of data, information and knowledge assets meanwhile the most relevant enabling competencies were communication, teamwork and adaptability.
Computing levels of nutrient inadequacy from household consumption and expenditure surveys: A case study
Authors: Moltedo Ana , Álvarez-Sánchez Cristina , Troubat Nathalie , Cafiero Carlo
Published: May 2024

This paper presents an approach to estimate the between-subject variability in nutrient intake (through the coefficient of variation [CV]) and a method to estimate the prevalence of nutrient inadequacy (PoNI) (for eight micronutrients) using household consumption and expenditure survey (HCES) data. Prevalence values are compared to individual-level estimates derived using the National-Cancer-Institute method. Data come from the 2015 Bangladesh Integrated-Household-Survey, which conducted a household-level 7-day recall (7DR) and two rounds of individual-level 24-hour recall (24HR), filled by one respondent on behalf of all members, for the same rural households. The PoNI values based on 7DR are lower than those calculated from 24HR data, due to the larger average intake estimates from 7DR data. After controlling for differences in average intake estimates and adjusting household-level data for random measurement errors, the PoNI values from 7DR and 24HR data are remarkably close. This highlights the potential use of HCES data (conducted according to international agreed standards) for estimating the level of between-subject variability in usual nutrient intake in a population. The CVs from HCES could be used to compute the PoNI using average intake estimates from individual-level data; and the inadequacy of global nutrient supply using Supply and Utilization Accounts data.
DDoS Protection System for SDN Network Based on Multi Controller and Load Balancer
Authors: Ulfa Husnul , Basuki Akbari Indra , Suranegara Galura Muhammad , Fauzi Ahmad
Published: May 2024

DDoS attacks on SDN networks can create a single point of failure that has the potential to disrupt the overall network performance. In a single controller scheme, there is a potential risk of experiencing buffer overload, leading to traffic congestion as switches must wait for responses from the controller before forwarding network packets. To address this challenge, this research implements security measures using a multi-controller and load balancer approach, aiming to enhance SDN network resilience against DDoS attacks. The system operates by distributing the workload from the main controller to a backup controller through a load balancer when indications of a DDoS attack are detected. These attack indications are determined based on the miss rate value of unique forwarding requests exceeding a specific threshold. The results of this approach have proven effective in improving the reliability, responsiveness, and quality of SDN network traffic during DDoS attacks. The testing parameters involved in this research include controller response time and network traffic quality, comprising latency, bandwidth, throughput, and jitter. Based on the test results, the multi-controller and load balancer-based approach successfully enhanced network quality and controller responsiveness by 66.51% compared to the longer single controller scenario, specifically 202.49% during DDoS attacks. In terms of controller responsiveness, there is a very slight increase of around 0.01% in latency between the two. While Multi Controller demonstrated a remarkable 43.21% increase in throughput compared to Single Controller, this improvement in throughput is accompanied by a significant 204% increase in jitter.

Currently, the need for clean water for the people of Asahan Regency comes from Perumda Air Minum Tirta Silaupiasa Asahan Regency. However, the amount of clean water provided for people living in areas with high cubic water in Asahan Regency is still relatively small, this is because the Perumda Air Minum Tirta Silaupiasa Asahan Regency does not know which areas have high, medium and low cubic water usage. Therefore, Perumda Air Minum Tirta Silaupiasa Asahan Regency needs to follow up on this problem by grouping areas based on water cubic. To manage the data, a technique is needed that can be used to extract information from the data, the technique is Data Mining. The purpose of this system is to find out how to analyze water cubic data using the K-Means Algorithm and design a website-based system with the PHP programming language and MySQL Database to determine areas with high, medium, and low water cubic. K-means clustering is a data analysis method or data mining method that performs unsupervised modeling and is one of the data clustering methods using a partition system. The data obtained in the recap of cubic water data at Perumda Air Minum Tirta Silaupiasa Asahan Regency for the period 2021-2023. The research method used in this research is quantitative research method.

In this research AHP is used to improve result of SWOT and as a part of SWOT analysis, therefore the method is called A’WOT or AHP-SWOT. Research on the application of AHP-SWOT method in formulating strategic planning was carried out at a constituent based non-profit organization that requires appropriate strategies to face the current dynamics. This organization has had a vision, mission and outline work program but has yet to have an appropriate strategy agreed by its constituentto implement the outline work program. The selection of SWOT method as a basis strategy formulation is a consequence of the form of a constituency based non-profit organization. The board wants the strategic planning organization created involving constituentand agreed by members of the organization. Besides, the constituents of the organization also want to know the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats affecting the continuity of the organization. For that purpose the SWOT method is used in conjunction with AHP method to facilitate the management of organizational decisions on formulated strategies. The research object in this study is a constituency-based non-profit organization that develops forest management certification system in Indonesia is namely the Indonesian Ecolabelling Institute (LEI).
