EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS’ FACULTY MEMBERS
Authors:   Yevhenii Bereznyak Military Academy, MAMCHUR Svitlana
Published: August 2024

ntroduction.The article examines the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in the professional activities of faculty members at higher military educational institu-tions in Ukraine. It highlights the dynamic changes in the Ukrainian military education system, necessitating con-tinuous improvement in teaching content, methods, and the professional competence of scientific and pedagogical staff. The study emphasises that EI is critical to profes-sional competence, enabling effective interaction, motiva-tion, conflict resolution, and stress management. Purpose. This article aims to explore the role of emo-tional intelligence in the professional competence devel-opment of scientific and pedagogical staff at higher mili-tary educational institutions. It seeks to define EI for these faculty members, analyse its structure, and under-stand its significance as a component of their professional competence. Results. The study identifies that faculty members with high EI can better manage their and students' emo-tions, leading to effective teaching and leadership. It underscores that the specific nature of military education-al institutions demands high levels of stress resilience and emotional regulation from their faculty. The article discusses various EI models, including those by Salovey, Mayer, and Goleman, and suggests that EI encompasses cognitive, emotional, adaptive, and social abilities. These abilities are crucial for creating optimal learning environ-ments and fostering trust and effective communication among colleagues and students. Originality. This research contributes to the relatively unexplored area of EI in the context of military education-al institutions' faculty. It draws attention to the unique challenges these educators face, such as high-stress levels and the need for strong interpersonal skills. The article's original contribution lies in its detailed analysis of EI's structure and practical implications for teaching and leadership in military settings. Conclusion. The article concludes that emotional intel-ligence is a vital aspect of the professional competence of faculty members at higher military educational institu-tions. It argues that developing EI can significantly en-hance their teaching effectiveness and leadership capabil-ities. Future research should focus on assessing the cur-rent levels of EI among these educators and exploring strategies to foster its development to meet the demands of modern military education.
Abundance of Zoobenthos on the Nearshore Slope Near the Rocky Coast of the Island of Valaam (Lake Ladoga)
Authors: Zuyev Yu. A. , Zueva N. V.
Published: August 2024

The bottom communities of a nearshore zone of Valaam archipelago (Ladoga Lake) have been investigated. The stations were located in the littoral, sublittoral and profundal on the depth 1–25 m. The three regions with different characteristics of the coast shore and relief were researched. The sampler-syringe was used to collect benthos because it works the whole of grounds variety in the nearshore. The quantative characteristics of the bottom communities had been optimally described with the depth ranges. The wave activity has significantly affected only on the numbers of zoobenthos in the upper 10 m. The changes of numbers and biomass have been described more preciously by the openness of the bays in depth from 1 to 10 m. There were the biggest numbers and biomass of zoobenthos in littoral of the close bay. In the semi-close bay and on the open coast the maximum abundance of benthic invertebrates shifted in sublittoral (depth 8 m), where waves less affected on the benthic communities. The types of ground had affected significantly only on taxonomical composition. In general, preferential effect on the quantity characteristics of benthos on the rocky slope zone have features of shore (openness and depth patterns). These data can be used for the analyses of next influences on the nearshore benthic community and for the analyses and modelling the commercial resources and their forage base.
Comparative Aspects of the Study of Morpho-physiological and Biochemical Parameters of Somatic Growth in Populations of Two Species of Black Sea Bivalvia Mollusks — Cerasoderma glaucum and Flexopecten glaber ponticus
Authors: Shcherban S. A. , Temnykh A. V.
Published: August 2024

Presented are the results of the analysis of the morpho-physiological and biochemical indicators of somatic growth in the Black Sea bivalve mollusks, the cockle Cerastoderma glaucum (Bruguiere, 1789) and the scallop Flexopecten glaber ponticus (Bucguoy, Dautzenberg et Dollfus, 1889), living in the vicinity of Sevastopol. The examples are of three size-age groups, in the length range from 12 to 30 mm for both species, the features of tissue biosynthesis (somatic growth) of soft tissues were studied. According to the total RNA content and the RNA/DNA index in the C. glaucum, it was shown that in the groups 17–22 and 23–28 mm (age two–three years), the level of synthesis of protein structures is 1.3–1.7 times higher than in the underyearlings. In individuals of the F. glaber ponticus with linear sizes of 13–17 and 21–24 mm (underyearlings), the level of synthesis of protein structures was 1.2–1.5 times higher than in larger individuals (age two years). The species specificity of somatic growth was most significantly manifested in the middle and older size groups of the studied mollusks. The values of biochemical growth parameters in both species indicated an average level of tissue growth in comparison with other previously obtained data for the mass Black Sea bivalves. Linear regression models of size-weight values showed that for both species, the change in size explains 62–86% of the variation in body weight of the mollusk. Analysis of weight parameters (total mass/soft tissue mass) indicates a positive allometry of somatic tissue growth.

Published: August 2024

The influence of different types of microplastics (MP) and ash after burning a mixture of macroplastics selected in the supralittoral of the Barents Sea on the development of traditional test objects of the culture of the green microalgae Scenedesmus quadricauda and the culture of cladocerans Daphnia magna in chronic experiments was studied. In terms of inhibition of algal growth at a concentration of 3 mg/L MP, the PU sample showed the highest toxicity, followed by HDPE (white), HDPE (red) and contact EPS in descending order of toxicity. PP was non-toxic. Ash in the concentration range of 0.01-1000 mg/L did not significantly inhibit the growth of Scenedesmus quadricauda. For Daphnia magna a more expressed decrease in the average linear size was noted with the addition of intact EPS, and the stimulation of fertility was significantly higher in the presence of contact EPS. When comparing the effect of intact and contact PU on D. magna, the death of all individuals under the influence of intact PU was found, while adding PU, survival remained at the control level. MP particles and ash affect the trophic activity of daphnia when fed with chlorella, but this effect does not lead to changes in fertility and growth during long-term observation.

The article examines the concept of the digital economy and its influence on the formation and development of state antimonopoly policy. Based on the existing approaches to the definition of the concept of the digital economy, an own vision and interpretation of this concept as a set of infrastructural elements, with a high level of digitalization and the development of the on-demand economy, as well as the growth of the volume and variety of information services, the development and implementation of digital innovations, and the wide use of ICT are proposed and platforms in all spheres of society. The specific characteristics of digital markets, which determine the peculiarities of the functioning and development of these markets, are considered. A review of the leading companies operating in digital markets showed that these companies not only occupy a significant part of the national market, but also very often have a significant share of the global consumer market, driven by economies of scale and network effects. In addition, it was determined that developing countries have their own national companies that provide goods and services in the digital sphere based on the specifics of the consumer markets of each individual region and realizing competitive advantages related to logistics and payment methods. Moreover, national companies are often based on the experience of world leaders, may have foreign financing and even be absorbed by global industry leaders to one degree or another. Also determined are the dynamics of the world's leading companies in the field of digital services, which are positive and demonstrate significant financial results. Antimonopoly policy in the field of digital services is at the initial stage of its formation. Difficulties in the formation of state antimonopoly policy are determined by the peculiarities of digital markets, their variability and dynamic development. It was established that the state should be interested in the development of digital markets, as well as the development of competition in these markets to ensure the competitiveness of national companies in these markets both at the national and international level.

In addition to functioning as a carbon sink, mangrove soil also releases greenhouse gases (GHGs) through microbial metabolism. GHG flux fluctuates according to the ecological parameters of mangroves and climate variability. We quantified GHG fluxes from the soil using a closed-chamber technique and assessed soil and porewater conditions in three primary mangrove zones (each zone was dominated by one of the mangrove types) at Ngurah Rai Forest Park, Bali, Indonesia, categorized by genera: Bruguiera, Rhizophora, and Sonneratia. We found that the CO2 flux ranged from 322.5 to 3,494.5 µg/m2/h, CH4 flux ranged from -24.7 to 60.9 µg/m2/h, and N2O flux ranged from -1.2 to 2.3 µg/m2/h. None of the GHG fluxes varied significantly between mangrove zones. Overall, the highest CO2 fluxes were observed in the Bruguiera zones, while the highest CH4 and N2O fluxes were found in the Sonneratia and Rhizophora zones, respectively. A significant relationship between GHG fluxes and soil properties, including soil organic carbon (SOC), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), water content, bulk density, and soil type. The average warming effect on GHG fluxes ranged from 0.9 and 1.8 MgCO2/ha/year, accounting for only 1.1% to 2.2% of the annual plant carbon sequestration rate of 75.9 to 81.6 MgCO2/ha/year. These findings suggest that the variability of GHG fluxes is not significantly influenced by mangrove type; instead, soil conditions play a crucial role. Calculations of the net carbon stock may overlook the relatively low warming effect of GHG fluxes in this area.

Begitu juga di Desa Karangkedawung, saat ini terdata sebanyak 23 orang dengan gangguan jiwa (ODGJ). Penanganan ODGJ perlu kerjasama dari berbagai pihak, salah satunya adalah kerjasama dengan kader kesehatan jiwa yang ada di desa. Kader kesehatan jiwa merupakan perpanjangan tangan pelayanan puskesmas, karena kader merupakan bagian dari masyarakat dianggap lebih dekat dan mampu menjangkau masyarakat.
Kader kesehatan jiwa diharapkan dapat melakukan tindakan manajemen kasus gangguan jiwa di masyarakat, mereka telah mendapatkan edukasi terkait kesehatan jiwa serta penanganan masalah kesehatan jiwa di masyarakat. Meskipun demikian, tidak jarang kader masih merasakan kecemasan ketika harus berhadap langsung dengan ODGJ. Kecemasan yang dirasakan oleh kader tidak lain akibat stigma negative yang melekat pada ODGJ yang dianggap berbahaya, tidak dapat dipresiksi, rentan terhadap kekerasan, bau, jorok dan lain sebagainya.
Perasaan kecemasan yang dialami oleh kader dapat menghalangi kader menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik dan optimal, maka kader perlu diberikan intervensi untuk meningkatkan koping mekanisme guna menurunkan kecemasan yang dialami. Teknik mengatasi kecemasan antara lain bisa dilakukan dengan teknik relaksasi otot progresif dan mindfulness spiritual islam. Estria & Trihadi (2020) menyatakan dalam hasil penelitiannya bahwa relaksasi otot progresif dan mindfulness spiritual islam dapat menurunkan kecemasan mahasiswa (p value 0,0001) yang akan praktik di RS Jiwa.
Target luaran yang akan dicapai dalam pengabdian ini adalah publikasi di Gemassika: Jurnal Pengabdian pada Masyarakat Sinta 3 terbitan Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Aisyiyah Surakarta dan HKI berupa poster.
Rencana kegiatan yang akan dilakukan oleh penulis, kader akan diberikan program pelatihan yang terdiri dari 3 sesi. Sesi pertama adalah edukasi terkait koping mekanisme dan pemutaran film stop stigma karya Wardani dan Estria (2020). Sesi kedua diberikan pelatihan cara meningkatkan koping mekanisme dengan relaksasi otot progresif dan mindfulness spiritual islam serta mempraktikannya. Sesi ketiga kader diberikan challenge untuk menghadapi ODGJ serta berkomunikasi dan memenuhi kebutuhan dasar (memberikan makan minum dan/atau memandikan dan/atau memotong rambut). Metode transfer IPTEK dilakukan melalui metode ceramah, diskusi, simulasi, roleplay, praktik mandiri, monitoring dan evaluasi

Acute coronary events (ACEs) associated with a SARS-CoV-2 infection can significantly differ from classic ACEs. New biomarkers, such as ceramides, may help in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. This study included 73 ACE patients for whom the SARS-CoV-2 infection was verified. Two subgroups were formed: the favorable outcome subgroup and the fatal outcome subgroup. Plasma samples were collected from all patients at the time of admission for a metabolomic analysis. The analysis of metabolites revealed that the ceramide levels were significantly lower in the fatal outcome subgroup than in the survivor subgroup. Therefore, determining ceramide levels in patients with ACEs in conjunction with COVID-19 may help assess the prognosis of these patients and manage their risks.

7-Methylguanine (7-MG) is a natural inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 and tRNA-guanine transglycosylase, the enzymatic activity of which is central for the proliferation of cancer cells. Recently, a number of preclinical tests have demonstrated the safety of 7-MG and a regimen of intragastric administration was established in mice. In the present work, the pharmacological activity of 7-MG was studied in BALB/c and BALB/c nude mice with transplanted tumors. It was found that 7-MG effectively penetrates tumor tissue and suppresses colon adenocarcinoma growth in the Akatol model, as well as in a xenograft model with human HCT116 cells.
Telares de tinta: Relatos teatrales en primera fila
Authors: Carrillo Martínez Patricio Ernesto
Published: August 2024

Telares de tinta contiene ejercicios cortos de escritura teatral basados en la formación interpretativa, otras recuperadas de la literatura oral, desde el tintero del saber y hacer como actor bailarín. Son ensayos de dramaturgia ―el arte de componer obras dramáticas―, caligrafías de secuencias imaginadas en juegos dramáticos narrados, para ser teatro ―arte de representarlas― en el campo escénico, forjados entre saberes de vida académica, y acumulados de horas en talleres y escenarios, donde el conocimiento práctico reiterado en representaciones de situaciones ficcionales mediante personajes, acciones y diálogos, provoca “la preceptiva poética al establecer las unidades de tiempo y lugar en la dramaturgia”, el género literario para ser puesto en escena en un teatro, o audiovisual.
De temporalidades del alma y algo más
Authors: Egas Villafuerte Verónica Patricia
Published: August 2024

En las siguientes páginas usted se encontrará con algo más de cuarenta textos que retratan diferentes momentos y paisajes que han sido determinantes en la búsqueda de sentido y de respuestas por parte de la autora. Ella les ha dado un tratamiento poético a las diferentes circunstancias sentimentales, afectivas, laborales y hasta espirituales que ha experimentado y que pueden conectar con las vivencias de muchas más personas de las que un prologuista se pueda imaginar. Después de haber leído yo mismo dos veces esta obra, y de haber sido testigo de su metamorfosis, no me queda más que invitarles a adentrarse y deleitarse en las siguientes páginas, para que la esperanza no sea como la semilla que cayó en tierra estéril. Del mismo modo no me queda sino invitarles a leer y releer para que así juntos reduzcamos el rating de los mass media y las redes sociales con su agenda conspiranoica del fin del mundo, que todavía no es el fin porque aún nos queda la poesía y algo más para vivir.
