Authors:   Universitas Pembangunan Nasional, Umar Wakhid Khoirul , Arwendah Helen , Sustiyani Etik
Published: February 2025

Nitrogen is a crucial macronutrient for the growth of oil palm plants. Insufficient nitrogen can lead to chlorosis in young leaves, causing them to turn yellow and impede growth. To determine the nitrogen content in oil palm leaves and estimate the required fertilizer amount, a test must be conducted. In this study, the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC) standard method was employed to measure nitrogen levels. The method's performance procedure has undergone changes. The test results displayed a high correlation coefficient (r) of 99.99% and a % relative standard deviation (RSD) value of 1.8541%. The RSD value is below 2/3 of Horwitz CV, which is 7.7565. The single test accuracy was determined to be 102.01%, while the spike variation accuracy test yielded 102.66%. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 8.9213, and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) was determined as 29.7378. Furthermore, the instrument's limit values were established as an LOD of 8.8575 and an LOQ of 29.5250. The test results obtained meet the acceptance criteria based on AOAC.

The role of public relations education and students’ self-efficacy on career aspiration
Authors: Lukman Syauqy , Koswara Aang , Sani Anwar
Published: February 2025

Background: Studies on career readiness and aspiration are crucial for educational establishments to assess how well the education of students influences their self-efficacy. Progress in the Public Relations (PR) profession relies on the successful education of PR academic institutions. Purpose: This study examined the PR students’ self-efficacy by identifying two variables: confidence in their Public relations abilities and skills and confidence in their knowledge of PR. The study then looks at how these predictors affect their career readiness. Methods: Using hierarchical regression, this study looks at the effect of two vital predictors of confidence in PR abilities, skills and knowledge on PR on career readiness. Aside from the two predictors, the demographical characteristics and additional predictors of whether the students have experienced job internships and are currently active in the student association were also examined. The data was analysed using a sample of 139 students from Universitas Padjadjaran. Results: From the regression models, students’ self-efficacy significantly influences career readiness, while having internship experience and being active in student associations are also positively associated with career readiness, although not statistically significant. Demographic characteristics do not have a statistically significant influence on career readiness. Conclusion: This study highlights the non-existent impact of demographic factors on students’ self-efficacy and career readiness while providing underpinnings for future research on self-efficacy. Implication: Although the results may not necessarily reflect similar circumstances in similar settings for other establishments, for the specific context of Universitas Padjadjaran, this study provides data-driven evidence on the role of PR education in the students’ self-efficacy and how they perceive their career aspirations in the future.
Verbal Message and Punctuation Marking in Their Functional Interrelationships
Authors: Seagal K. Ya.
Published: February 2025

This study presents a description of the types of functional interrelationships between verbal messages and punctuation marking within the context of individual authorial punctuation practices among Russian speakers from the late 18th to the early 21st century. The research material comprises punctuation and graphic facts predominantly found in literary (both prose and poetry) and scientific texts. The relevance of this study lies in the necessity to represent various types of functional interrelationships between verbal messages and punctuation marking on a unified conceptual basis — namely, informational. It is demonstrated that three such types have emerged in written discourse: verbal message with punctuation marking, verbal message without punctuation marking, and punctuation marking without a verbal message. The differentiation among these types is shown to be conditioned by the varying distribution of primary information conveyed through verbal means and additional information expressed via punctuation markers within written statements. The conclusion drawn indicates that, when semantically interpreting written statements deliberately devoid of punctuation or composed solely of punctuation marks, the implied verbal messages with punctuation marking frequently serve as the background.
History of Russian Translational Reception of Edwin Arnold’s Poem “The Light of Asia”: Translation by A.M. Fedorov
Authors: Serdechnaya V. V. , Zhatkin D. N.
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the translational strategies employed by A.M. Fedorov in his poetic rendition of Edwin Arnold’s Buddhist poem “The Light of Asia,” created in 1895. It explores how Arnold’s text is modified in translation and how these modifications contribute to the contextualization of the poem within the Russian poetic landscape. The analysis draws on the original text of “The Light of Asia” by Edwin Arnold, along with translations by A.N. Annenskaya, I.M. Sabashnikov, and A.M. Fedorov, as well as literary-critical publications from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Employing historical-literary and comparative approaches, the study aims to analytically explore the transformations of Arnold’s text within Russian culture. It is reported that A.M. Fedorov creates his poetic adaptation of Arnold’s work based on Annenskaya’s earlier prose translation (1890). The findings reveal that he modifies the meter of the original and significantly varies it, replacing the unrhymed pentameter with a diverse range of rhymed forms, typically aligned with the tradition of Russian Oriental poetry. Furthermore, it is shown that Fedorov Russifies the translation in terms of vocabulary and stylistically aligns it with Romantic traditions, allowing for considerable deviations from the original, including omissions and additions. Notably, the ease of the verse and the familiarity of the poetic form contribute to the popularity of this translation in Russia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries; it has been reedited and republished in the early 21st century.
Activities of FBI in Late 1940s and Emergence of McCarthyism in United States
Authors: Levin Ya. A.
Published: February 2025

This article examines the shifts in the policy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States in relation to the onset of the Cold War. It highlights that President Truman, unlike his predecessor Franklin Roosevelt, had a markedly different perspective on the Bureau's operations, emphasizing the necessity of compelling this agency to adhere strictly to laws and other legal norms. The analysis reveals that in the context of confrontation with the White House, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover sought collaboration with ultra-conservative factions from both political parties. It is shown that Hoover initiated a campaign against communist influence in the United States, with the underlying aim of circumventing national leadership to further the objectives of the FBI. Notably, in 1950, a leader emerged among Hoover's supporters—Senator Joseph McCarthy. The rapidly coalescing "McCarthyite" movement gained influence and, in alliance with the Bureau, fostered an atmosphere of suspicion in America to hold accountable those individuals and organizations deemed by federal agents to be linked to Soviet intelligence or "disloyal." This article analyzes the complexities in the relationship between the FBI and the White House, characterizes the beginning of the Bureau's collaboration with radical conservatives in Congress, and traces the origins of McCarthyism. It also explores the evolution of public campaigns against communism, examines the associated repressions, and assesses the impact of the "loss" of China on this campaign and the president's stance.
Generalissimo A.V. Suvorov: General’s Persona in Memory Politics of Early 20th Century Russian Empire
Authors: Lizogub A. S.
Published: February 2025

This article addresses the utilization of heroic imagery from the past within the memory politics of the early 20th century Russian Empire. The author provides a detailed analysis of the commemoration of A.V. Suvorov’s feats during the reign of Nicholas II. It is demonstrated that the centenary of Suvorov’s death catalyzed a resurgence of interest in this heroic figure. Based on archival documents and periodical press, the study shows that efforts to immortalize the general continued after the centennial anniversary. The research establishes that Victorian themes occupied a central position in the symbolic politics of autocratic power throughout this period. The author concludes that the state actively employed the heroic image of A.V. Suvorov to legitimize the existing order and unify the empire’s populace. It is emphasized that, in the early 20th century, key instruments for shaping the memory landscape included the construction of a pantheon of national heroes, the establishment of museums, the organization of celebratory ceremonies, and the execution of educational initiatives, alongside monumental commemoration. The author asserts that narratives from military history were instrumental in creating cultural infrastructure both within and beyond the state’s borders. This article is of particular interest to researchers exploring issues related to historical memory and memory politics in the early 20th century.
Communicative Situations and Scenarios across Socio-technical Contexts of In-house Translation Departments at Industrial Enterprises
Authors: Krasnopeyeva E. S. , Kraeva S. S.
Published: February 2025

This article presents a descriptive study based on a series of interviews (11 h 37 min) with translators at seven different enterprises located in the Chelyabinsk region, Russia. It focuses on translation decision-making processes in hybrid environments combining face-to-face and mediated interaction. The objective of this study is to identify the differences and similarities in the communicative situations described by the translators, and to establish categories to describe the ways socio-technical contexts affect the translators’ expert actions. A review of studies that apply actor-network theory (ANT) to study translation workflows across diverse production contexts is presented. Drawing on Skopos theory and ANT, the authors identify two types of scenarios in translators’ interactions with a variety of actors, including technologies that influence translation activity during skopos specification, target-text production, and quality control. The authors argue that the principal aim of the translation departments’ individual information infrastructure is to mitigate uncertainty in the decision-making process. This study demonstrates how translators augment their work environment to optimize expert performance using technological and organizational solutions. Possible ways to enhance the efficiency of translation departments at industrial enterprises are discussed.
Cultural Code in Scientific and Journalistic Dimensions
Authors: Dimitrieva O. A.
Published: February 2025

This article explores the distinctive features of the term “cultural code” within scientific and journalistic discourses. The materials for analysis are drawn from newspaper articles and partially from the main corpus of the Russian National Corpus, as well as from scholarly works in linguistics, cultural studies, and philosophy. It has been identified that the expression “cultural code” activates specific components of the phrase: the sign-based nature of the code engages lexicon from the technical sphere (such as program, copy, decode, etc.); the value aspect of culture (the cultural component) highlights actions denoted by verbs like preserve, protect, transmit, among others, as well as abstract concepts such as values, knowledge, understanding, and mastery. The study demonstrates that the models used to recreate the image of the cultural code in journalistic texts differ from those in scientific discourse, exhibiting a vivid evaluative quality with both positive and negative semantics. It is noted that the word formation productivity of the term “code” in scientific discourse is linked to scholars’ efforts to reveal an objective structure and emphasize its relation to the original, generative word (with prefixes and prefixoids such as mega-, sub-, meta-, psycho-).

Drawing is a way of approaching reality with the senses to represent it through a process of abstraction. The use of pictorial language invites us to look with intention and attention, to search for patterns, illumination, rhythms, shadows, colors, textures, materials, dimensions and hierarchies. It helps us to memorize details and communicate information more effectively. In the field of urban planning, the different graphic representations –maps, diagrams, plans, sketches– become a record that, through a historiographic review, allows us to learn about the transformations that a given space has undergone. This dialogue with our research from drawing has at least two aspects. The first is as a resource for approaching the actors in the field of study and compiling their perceptions of the space of interest, and the second, more personal, as a tool that allows us to understand the phenomenon we have set out to study and imagine ways of influencing its material reality.

Changes in redox processes in the cells of test objects – bull spermatozoa under the effect of naphazoline nitrate
Authors: Kuzminov Borys , Zazulyak Tetyana , Ostapiv Dmytro
Published: February 2025

Naphazoline nitrate is a medicine with a number of side effects, which should be taken into account not only in therapeutic practice, but also when developing preventive measures in pharmaceutical production. The purpose of our work was to study the effect of naphazoline nitrate on redox processes and the duration of survival of bull spermatozoa. Bull semen samples were divided into groups: control – without adding naphazoline nitrate and experimental – with adding naphazoline nitrate. The respiratory activity of spermatozoa was determined by the polarographic method, reducing capacity – potentiometrically, succinate dehydrogenase activity – photo-metrically; sperm survival – visually. The respiratory activity of spermatozoa is significantly inhibited under the effect of all studied doses of naphazoline nitrate (η = 0.762 and 0.840) and the degree of effect for the highest dose reaches 85.5 %. The reducing capacity changes significantly, starting from a dose of 1/10 LD50 and above, the dose-indicator correlation is low, the dose of LD50 causes changes in the indicator by 229.0% with a change of charge of the medium. SDH activity significantly decreases under the effect of 1/10 LD50 and above, the dose-indicator correlation is moderate, the dose of LD50 causes changes in the indicator by 49.5 %. The substance affects the duration of survival only in the maximum dose, reducing the survival time by 18 %. Conclusion: The substance has the maximum effect on the respiratory activity of germ cells and on the reducing capacity, it has a lesser effect on the SDH activity and slightly affects the survival time. The dose-dependent nature of the effect of naphazoline nitrate on certain indicators of redox processes in spermatozoa confirms the prospects of using the latter as alternative test objects in studying the harmful effects of chemicals.

Published: February 2025

This study examines the complex phonological shifts within the Mewati language, focusing on the transformation of the alveolar lateral sound between two vowels into an alveolar tap/flap. Using Optimality Theory (OT), our primary goal is to uncover the underlying process responsible for this phonological alteration. Fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and audio recordings were used to acquire extensive data. Together, these three data sources contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the phonological alteration under investigation. In summary, fieldwork provides the context, in-depth interviews offer insights into speakers’ perspectives, and audio recordings supply the raw phonetic data.  The research field was Haryana’s District Mewat, where we engaged a diverse group of fifty informants, including youth, adults, and the elderly. Mewati, a language native to Haryana’s Mewat district exhibits a striking pattern. Our findings revealed that Mewati speakers relinquished the identity of the alveolar lateral sound if it did not occur between two adjacent vowels. These linguistic constraints serve as crucial determinants in evaluating potential output candidates, aligning them with the ranking features of input candidates in the framework of OT. The data collected from the heart of Mewat unequivocally confirms the presence of a phonological alteration process within the linguistic landscape of this region.

Published: February 2025

Modality is a salient notion in language, manifested through modal verbs. However, modal verbs are complex grammatical units since they have multiple functions and meanings. Previous studies have shown mismatches between actual language use and its presentation in textbooks, including modal verb representation in both EFL and ESL contexts. This study explored the distributional frequencies of modal verbs in Indonesian EFL textbooks compared to those in Malaysian ESL textbooks. It compiled the textbook conversation corpora from secondary education levels in Indonesia and Malaysia: two Indonesian EFL textbooks (IET) and two Malaysian ESL textbooks (MET), which are nationally endorsed. The corpora comprised 4,548 tokens collected from the conversations in the textbooks. Data collection involved corpus queries focusing on nine core/central modal verbs: ‘can’, ‘could’, ‘may’, ‘might’, ‘shall’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘would’, and ‘must’. The results show that Indonesian and Malaysian textbooks shared the same most frequent modal verb distribution; however, other distributions differed. Besides, English modal verbs in Indonesian textbooks are more static with one-to-one correspondence, while Malaysian textbooks present more dynamic modal verb meanings. Notably, Indonesian EFL textbooks have complete modal meaning representation, which is absent in Malaysian textbooks. Interestingly, the modal verb distributions in both textbooks differ from those in a native corpus, representing actual English use. These results highlight the need for more careful consideration when designing and developing teaching materials, especially in ESL and EFL contexts.

Published: February 2025

Translation studies have grown enormously in recent decades and have expanded to include the pedagogical lens as a breakthrough. However, little is known about how the students perceive the online communicative translation assessment model (OCTAM). The present study explores how the students perceive the implementation of the online communicative translation assessment model in classrooms. The investigative locus of this study was a class on Translating and Interpreting (TI) at a state university in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. Thirteen students from a TI class participated in this study. The data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and analysed using a thematic analysis. The findings revealed that OCTAM provided students with an effective translation assessment model, coped with their limited English vocabulary, guided them to focus on knowledge of form, function, and meaning of both source and target texts, offered them a more contextual translation test, raised their awareness of translating as a meaning-making practice, facilitated them to correct grammatical errors, created a less anxious test atmosphere, and generated their multimodal communicative competence. Pedagogically, this study bridges translation and foreign language education, mainly by examining how an online communicative translation assessment model functions as a cutting-edge translation model to assess students’ translation competence.
Leveraging students’ prewriting: Translanguaging in Indonesian higher education context
Authors: Retnowaty Retnowaty
Published: February 2025

Advertisement sells fantasy more than it sells products. Through its slogan, an EFL students in Indonesia often encounter difficulties developing ideas because of their limited English proficiency, which can hinder their writing development. This study examined how translanguaging enhanced idea generation among EFL students in Indonesian higher education during the prewriting stage by utilizing their diverse linguistic repertoires to improve communication. Through classroom ethnography and the Multimodal Conversation Analysis framework, the research explored how students employed their linguistic and multimodal resources to develop ideas, facilitate communication and collaboration, and support creative expression and problem-solving. Data were collected through video recordings of student interactions and written artifacts produced during the prewriting session. The findings revealed that EFL students effectively coordinated verbal and nonverbal modes to co-construct meaning, creatively convey concepts, and enrich idea expression during prewriting activities. The study also uncovered that translanguaging occurred when students creatively co-construct information, reflect their identities, produce meaning flexibly, impact each other's language usage, and communicate multimodally. This study highlighted the importance of recognizing and valuing students' linguistic and cultural backgrounds and their multimodal competencies in developing inclusive and equitable learning environments that foster academic writing success. By embracing students' holistic communicative repertoires, translanguaging and multimodal practices can create a conducive atmosphere for engaging and memorable multilingual learning experiences.
Farādīs al-Jinān: A compact Acehnese translation for learning Jurjānī's rudimentary Arabic grammar in Aceh
Authors: Rizki Syukri , Yusrizal Yusrizal
Published: February 2025

Arabic, regarded as the language of the educated in both present and past Aceh, facilitates the comprehension of numerous Islamic didactic texts authored by scholars from the Arab world and other Muslim regions. A widely studied text connecting the Acehnese people to this scholarship is Jurjānī’s manual, designed to introduce basic grammatical rules to Arabic beginners. Toward the end of the twentieth century, the prolific Acehnese scholar Abu Teupin Raya (Teungku Muḥammad ʻAlī Irsyād) translated Jurjānī’s text into the Acehnese language under the title Farādīs al-Jinān fī Tarjamah al-’Awāmil al-Jurjānī bi Lisān al-’Ulamā’ al-Qudamā’ bil-Āsyī, aiming to simplify Arabic grammar for Acehnese students. This paper explored into the oral features of the text, examining the constants and patterns in the relationship of Arabic, Malay, and Acehnese languages. It highlighted the authors’ method of using Acehnese language to render the original Arabic source and discussed the exclusivity of Acehnese as an official language within the dayah (traditional Islamic schools). Using the Faircloughian Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, the text was analyzed as discourse fundamentally linked to its socio-political context. The study employed a three-layer interpretation (micro, meso, and macro levels), as suggested by the approach. The findings revealed that the literal translation technique employed by Abu Teupin Raya reflects an oral translation mode commonly practiced by teachers in Acehnese traditional Islamic schools. Furthermore, the awareness of Aceh as a distinct nation was already evident during the authors’ lifetime, highlighting the linguistic distance between Acehnese and other languages, especially Arabic and Malay.

Published: February 2025

The post-pandemic emphasis on educational experimentation underscores STARTeCH’s call for swift school reform and the transformative potential of extracurricular learning. This study investigates the impact of STARTeCH on ESL grammar test scores on ESL grammar scores using online learning modes. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, 87 Malaysian lower secondary school learners (43 males, 44 females, average age 13), selected via purposive sampling, were divided into asynchronous group (n=29), synchronous group (n=30), and conventional group (n=28). Instruments included pre- and post-tests and CAP (Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor) questionnaires. ANOVA results indicated significant post-intervention differences among the groups F(2.84)=7.834, p=0.001), with the asynchronous group notably outperforming both synchronous and conventional groups in grammar test scores. The study further uncovered no significant differences in cognitive and affective perceptions between asynchronous and synchronous as well as conventional groups. Furthermore, the study revealed a strong preference for the asynchronous mode, particularly in enhancing psychomotor learning objectives. STARTeCH is found to be efficient in enhancing ESL grammar proficiency through tailored, flexible online learning environments with room to practice, repetition, and hands-on engagement via the asynchronous mode. The study suggests a reconsideration of traditional methods, advocating for flexible, technology-enhanced pedagogies for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers within ESL education.
Polyphony in Mary Borden’s selected poems
Authors: Habash Fadi Butrus K.
Published: February 2025

This study examines the manifestation of polyphony in the war poetry of Mary Borden, an American-British poet whose works capture the multiplicity of voices, both heard and silenced, during wartime. It contributes to modernist and postmodernist literary discourse by addressing the overlooked polyphonic dimensions of her poetry. The research focuses on three poems from her collection The Forbidden Zone (1929): At the Somme: The Song of Mud, The Hill, and Unidentified. The data collection and analysis involve close textual examination and application of postmodernist conceptions of polyphony by exploring various forms of polyphony, including dialogical relationships, levels of communication, diversity of voices, styles of discourse, and perspectives to explore how polyphony shapes the structure, unity, and meaning of Borden’s poetry. The findings reveal that Borden manifested polyphony as fragmentation, religious and mythological norms, muted voice, philosophical and religious voices, juxtaposition, vocalized icons, psychological and introspective polyphonic dialogs, and rhetorical voices. They are used to depict the horrors of war, capturing the suffering, anguish, and trauma experienced by soldiers through the fragmented and subjective perspectives of a nurse and an eyewitness. Her use of trench poetry accentuates the emotional turmoil of war, reflecting grief, despair, and anger through a polyphonic and fragmentary style. The research argues that the relationship of multiple voices within these poems reflects the brokenness of nations and the fragmented consciousness of war survivors. By engaging with polyphonic voicing, this analysis demonstrates how Borden’s poetry challenges readers to confront the incompleteness, indeterminacy, and enduring psychological impact of war.

Published: February 2025

This article examines paternalism verbalization in the speeches of the first President of Tatarstan. In modern linguistic research, language materials from the point of view of anthro­pocentrism plays an important role, when not only linguistic data, but the factor of speaker has a certain importance. The purpose of study is to analyze lexical and grammatical features to which the politician resorts during his public speeches. M. Shaimiev forms a special format of communication based on relationship specific to his region, where it is customary to treat elders with respect. The authors, using intertextual analysis, identify cases of paternalism representation through the manifestation of pa­ternal care, firmness, appeal and command. Considering the issues of paternalism, the authors turn to the issues of historical formation and mental differences of the peoples of Russia. The results of study reveal the linguistic phenomena politicians use in their speeches to influence the audience.

Published: February 2025

Subject. The article explores the influence of the sectoral structure of economies of Russian regions on the level of their economic, innovation, and digital development in terms of achieving the national goal of "Technological Leadership" and ensuring the economic security of the country.
Objectives. The study aims at clustering the Russian regions under artificial intelligence methods based on official statistics on the share of enlarged industries in the GRP of the region and the scale of region's economy; establishing links between identified cluster formations with average (for their constituent regions) indicators of economic development, innovation, and digital activity.
Methods. We performed cluster analysis using the machine learning method being one of the most important parts of artificial intelligence. We compared the results of two main clustering procedures: hierarchical cluster analysis and the K-means method. Regions’ ratings for three groups of indicators were formed using the methods of normalization (Z-counting method) and aggregation of partial indicators.
Results. The paper described the architecture of each cluster formation, calculated average values of considered indicators in clusters. Six out of seven identified clusters have a pronounced industry specialization. The seventh cluster was the most diversified, its sectoral structure is close to that of the Russian economy as a whole. For each group of development indicators (economic, innovative, digital), we identified leader and outsider clusters.
Conclusions. The study confirmed the hypothesis about connection of the sectoral structure of Russian regions’ economies with the level of their economic development, innovation, and digital activity. The obtained clustering results can be used in the formation of digital twins of Russian regions to establish their general characteristics of development and forecast socio-economic indicators.

Authors: SMIRNOV Valerii V.
Published: February 2025

Subject. The article investigates reasons for interest rate increase in the Russian economy.
Objectives. The study aims to determine reasons for rising interest rates in the Russian economy.
Methods. The research methodology draws on the application of general scientific methods, primarily, the analysis and synthesis of data, and special economic and mathematical methods, in particular, correlation and regression analysis.
Results. The paper identifies the need to eliminate the possibility of credit and other financial institutions to influence the type of interest rate, shows the transition to a higher volume of standing overnight deposits and one-week deposit auctions, notes that it is required to return to negative values of State and municipal securities minus debt securities of residents (except for State and municipal securities) with high volatility exceeding the volume of State and municipal securities over debt securities of residents.
Conclusions. The identified reasons for interest rates growth in the Russian economy indicate to the expert community their marginal values.
Transformation of accounting and reporting: Areas of concern
Authors: SEREBRYAKOVA Tat'yana Yu.
Published: February 2025

Subject. This article examines the institutional foundations of the categories of Accounting and Financial Accounting.
Objectives. The article aims to determine the prospects for the development of accounting as a sphere of professional and scientific activities, and find justifications for separating these two concepts.
Methods. For the study, I used induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, modeling, comparison, extrapolation, as well as comprehensive and functional-and-targeted approaches to identify the proper generic features of the concepts under study.
Results. The article finds that the understanding of accounting is based on its essence and purpose as a type of economic accounting, and that the applicable contents of accounting statements and financial statements are different. The development of concepts by replacing accounting with financial accounting is wrong, since their goals are different.
Conclusions and Relevance. It is necessary to distinguish between the types of accounting, otherwise real data will be replaced by estimates, which ultimately will not contribute to the reliability of accounting and reporting for assessing the true state of affairs in the organization. The results of the study of the subject and functional area of accounting, presented in the article, are useful for continuing the discussion on the semantic content of certain types of accounting.

Background: Guideline-directed medical therapy in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) has demonstrated improvement in morbidity and mortality rates. The FDA approved sacubitril/valsartan in 2015 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for HF.  Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in loop diuretic dose and the clinical outcomes of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) therapy within a 90-day follow-up period. 
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 110 HF patients on concomitant ARNI and loop diuretic therapy at New York University Langone Health was conducted. The primary endpoint was a change in loop diuretic dose. Six secondary endpoints, including dose conversion from ACEi or ARB to ARNI therapy, were assessed.
Results: Of the 110 HF patients, 72 did not receive diuretic dose adjustments, yet 40 (55.56%) experienced laboratory-dependent dehydration. Fifty-six percent of patients experienced an improvement in systolic blood pressure, and 52 percent experienced a decrease in diastolic blood pressure.  Sixty percent of patients experienced an improvement in EF, with a median increase of 10.00% over a 90-day follow-up. A significant negative correlation between patients’ age and absolute change in EF was identified (r= -0.28; p < 0.05), indicating that the increase in EF was stronger for younger patients. Eighteen hospitalizations occurred within a 90-day follow-up, with only 4 patients being admitted for heart failure exacerbation.
Conclusion and Relevance: This study examines the real-world effects of ARNI therapy in patients with systolic heart failure. Optimization of HF medications, including ARNI therapy, remains an important factor for achieving the maximum benefits in heart failure management. ARNI therapy requires careful monitoring to ensure effective diuresis in symptomatic heart failure patients while avoiding adverse events. Future studies should address diuretic dose adjustment in conjunction with the administration of ARNI and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.
Drug-induced enterocolitis syndrome in children: report of two cases and a literature review

Background. Drug-induced enterocolitis syndrome (DIES) is a recently defined clinical entity, first described in 2014. DIES is a hypersensitivity reaction with non-IgE mechanisms involving the gastrointestinal tract, occurring 1 to 4 hours after drug ingestion. Antibiotics are most commonly responsible, particularly amoxicillin or amoxicillin / clavulanic acid (AMX/CL). The main criterion is recurrent, often uncontrollable vomiting occurring 1-4 hours after drug ingestion, without classic IgE-mediated allergic symptoms such as cutaneous or respiratory reactions. To the best of our knowledge, 10 pediatric cases of DIES have been described in the literature.
Case Presentations. A 4-year-old male and a 14-year-old male presented to our pediatric allergy clinic with a suspected hypersensitivity reaction to AMX/CL, and their specific IgE tests for penicillin G and penicillin V were negative. The younger patient was also tested for specific IgE against amoxicillin and ampicillin, which were also negative. Skin prick tests and intradermal test with AMX/CL were negative in both patients, but oral provocation testing with AMX/CL resulted in abdominal pain, vomiting and lethargy, confirming the diagnosis of DIES.
Conclusions. DIES should be considered in patients presenting with vomiting and lethargy following drug ingestion, particularly when IgE-mediated allergies have been ruled out. Early recognition and appropriate management, including drug provocation testing in a controlled setting, are crucial to ensure optimal patient outcomes. By presenting these two rare cases, we aim to raise awareness and deepen the understanding of DIES among healthcare professionals, which could contribute to earlier diagnosis and better patient outcomes.

Green Politics and the Tyranny of the Thinker
Authors: Culbert Jeff
Published: February 2025

Sometimes I think of human cognition as the ultimate environmental problem. It's a simplistic hypothesis, I know, especially in its failure to address the fact that some humans are more implicated than others in creating and perpetuating the mess. But in the context of questioning the viability of the species, it is not one to be lightly dismissed. [...]

Tourist Tales
Authors: Russell Constance
Published: February 2025

In my own "tour of desire," I travelled in the Fall of 1992 to see the orangutans of Borneo. On a personal level, I had wanted to see orangutans in the wild ever since studying them in the zoo a number of years ago for my B.A. thesis. At the time, I was a psychology major specializing in animal behaviour, and had elected to do an observational study on sex differences in their play behaviour. I spent many hours watching these magnificent creatures, so like us, confined to such maddeningly small and barren quarters, and I longed to see them as they ought to be: in their own world, in context. But I also went as a researcher to document and analyze the other tourists' reactions to, and experiences with, the orangutans. [...]
A Straightforward Philosophical Thought About Virtual Reality and Environmentalism
Authors: Wood Brent
Published: February 2025

The world, not the planet, is becoming virtual. Our idea of 'the planet' is already a virtual one, as the currently multiplying photos of the globe from space wordlessly attest. When we try to conceive of a 'global system' of any kind, our imaginations prove inadequate to the task. Hence the sublime experience aroused when we attempt. to contemplate our earth in its entirety in one of our more peaceful, less procedural moments, as when a young adult cries at the beach on a summer evening over the fate of humanity.
