Published: August 2023

Background: Although researchers have performed several smoking-related investigations, limited achievements have been found in decreasing rates of smoking because most of them were not implemented based on the appropriate theory. This study aimed to apply the structural equation modeling (SEM) method to examine the relationships between protection motivation theory (PMT) constructs, health literacy, and smoking behavior among university students. Methods: In the current cross-sectional investigation, 542 students of Mashhad Universities of Applied Sciences were collected using cluster sampling on August 2022. The data collection tools were sociodemographic, PMT, and health literacy questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24. Moreover, the SEM was implemented by applying Amos. Pearson correlation examination was performed to study the relationships between behavior and other variables. Moreover, SEM was performed using Amos 18, and several indexes were calculated, including chi-square/degrees of freedom (χ2 /df), goodness of fit index, root mean square error of approximation, comparative fit index, and Tucker Lewis index. Results: The resulting of the smoking behavior model demonstrated an acceptable fit with the studied data. Smoking behavior was significantly associated with higher intention extrinsic and intrinsic rewards and the perceived cost and lower response efficacy, self-efficacy, and perceived vulnerability; nonetheless, intention and self-efficacy had more effects, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be more beneficial to increase the people’s self-efficacy in order to further trust themselves so that they can successfully avoid smoking via reinforcement of the coping skills.

Background: Smartphone use has been shown to have effects on psychological health outcomes. There is evidence that the psychological effects of smartphones on young people are significant. It is associated with anxiety, depression, and psychological distress in various populations. The tendency to spend cumulatively long durations exposed to smartphones is an emerging phenomenon among university undergraduates. This study aimed at determining the relationship between smartphone use and psychological distress in university undergraduates. Methods: Data for this cross-sectional study were collected from 3,325 undergraduates of the University of Ilorin, Nigeria in September 2021 using a Sociodemographic proforma, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short version, and psychological distress was measured using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12). Data were analyzed using SPSS 23. Results: The mean age of respondents was 21.3+2.59 years, and 1835 (55.2%) of them were females. In addition, 3305 (99.4%) owned smartphones, and 720 (21.7%) had more than one smartphone. Psychological distress was present in 1097 smartphone users (33.2%). The level of study (P=0.002), presence of problematic smartphone use (PSU, P<0.001), total time spent on the phone per day (P=0.014), and the time spent on social media per day (P<0.001), as well as leaving the phone data on all day (P=0.001) and engaging in overnight calls or social media chats (P<0.026), Facebook (P=0.001), WeChat (P=0.001), and Snapchat (P=0.001), were significantly associated with psychological distress. Independent predictors of psychological distress were being in year 5 (OR=0.548, P=0.008), presence of PSU (OR=1.586, P<0.001), switching on phone data throughout the day (OR=1.388, P<0.001), and use of WeChat (OR=1.451, P<0.027) and Facebook (OR=0.703, P<0.001). Conclusion: Our findings revealed that important smartphone-related indices such as PSU, switching on phone data access all day, and WeChat were predictive of increased levels of psychological distress. Structured counselling about the productive use of smartphones should be administered in the early years of study for university undergraduates.

Published: August 2023

Background: Breast cancer and cervical cancer, the most common forms of cancer in women worldwide, are on a fast and steady rise. Cancer screening tests are an important tool to combat cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Considering the importance of health literacy in promoting community health, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between health literacy and the history of screening behaviors of common cancers in women referred to Bushehr healthcare centers in 2019. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 380 women referred to urban health centers in Bushehr in 2019. Data were collected by using a questionnaire consisting of three parts: demographic characteristics, breast and cervical cancer screening behavior, and health literacy (HELIA) questionnaire. Data were analyzed via SPSS 21 software using the Chi-square test, an independent t-test, and descriptive statistical methods. Furthermore, P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 34.88±9.15 years. Moreover, 3.2% of subjects had inadequate health literacy, 13.9% had health literacy at a border level, and 82.9% had sufficient health literacy. In this study, 46.8% and 88.2% of the women did not undergo Pap tests and mammography, respectively, and 73.9% were never referred to the health centers for clinical examination of breasts. In addition, health literacy had a significant relationship with monthly breast examination and undergoing Pap smear (P<0.001), but health literacy had no significant relationship with undergoing mammography and clinical breast examination (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that women with higher levels of health literacy are more likely to get in the habit of doing monthly breast self-examination and undergoing the Pap test. Thus, it is suggested that this result be considered in prevention programs (primary and secondary) to increase women’s health.

Published: August 2023

Background and aims: Tramadol and methadone are synthetic opioid drugs that are widely used in various fields of medicine. This review article was performed to investigate the hormone disturbance of long-term tramadol and methadone use in women. Methods: Keywords were determined using the MeSH browser and then searched in ISI, Scopus, EMBASE, and PubMed databases on 25.5.2022. The articles with non-English language, articles whose full text was not retrieved, and studies that were irrelevant to the aim of this study were excluded from the investigation. Results: Methadone and tramadol affected a sexual hormone in women through an impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. They could reduce the levels of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, increase prolactin production, and finally, reduce gonadal steroids. Opioids also could influence thyroid and adrenal glands and subsequently increase thyroid-stimulating hormone, and reduce dehydroepiandrosterone. Eventually, this mechanism caused a disturbance in sexual hormone disturbance in women. Conclusion: Overall, long-term methadone and tramadol consumption as opioid substances could cause sexual hormone disturbance in women.

Authors: Rahimi Atefeh , Delfan Maryam , Daneshyar Seed
Published: August 2023

Background and aims: Muscle atrophy is a complication of type 2 diabetes, in which the expression of atrophy-related genes is increased. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and metformin on gene expression of two atrophy-related genes (i.e., FoxO1 and Atrogin-1) in the skeletal muscle of diabetic mice. Methods: A total of 30 mice (C57BL/6) were assigned to two groups: control (n=6), and high-fat diet (HFD) (n=24). The mice in the HFD group were fed a HDF for 16 weeks. Then, diabetes was induced in mice by HFD. Then, they were divided into 4 groups as follows: (i) diabetic control, (ii) diabetes + metformin (DM), (iii) diabetes + HIIT (DH), and (iv) diabetes + metformin + HIIT (DMH). The DM group took metformin, the HIIT group performed a HIIT program, and the DMH group had both HIIT and metformin. The real-time PCR methods were used to measure the mRNA expression of FoxO1 and Atrogin-1. Results: The findings showed that HFD-induced diabetes caused increases in the expression of FoxO1 (P=0.0006) and Atrogin-1 (P=0.0008), and HIIT could restrain these increments (P=0.086, P=0.041). However, the decreasing effect of metformin on the expression of these genes was not significant (P=0.15) and the combined effect of HIIT and metformin on the expression of these genes was not greater than the individual effect of HIIT (P=0.64). Conclusion: These results indicated that HIIT (but not metformin) may prevent type 2 diabetes-induced downregulation of FoxO1 and Atrogin-1 in skeletal muscle, and metformin could not affect the impact of the training on these atrophy-related genes.

Deixis refers to the study of language usage, whether spoken or written, in order to indicate or point to something specific. The objective of this research is to analyze the deixis employed in The Ellen Show's YouTube channel and comprehend the meaning conveyed through this deixis. The study utilized a qualitative approach with content analysis. The analysis was conducted by applying deixis theory proposed by Yule. The findings reveal three categories of deixis found in the data: person deixis, spatial deixis, and temporal deixis. Among these, temporal deixis is the most prevalent, followed by person deixis, and spatial deixis is the least frequently used. In addition, the analysis of the data shows that person deixis is used to clarify by whom a sentence was uttered and to whom it refers. Spatial deixis is used to clarify a sentence regarding the place and reference of a word. Meanwhile, temporal deixis is used to give a description of the time and description of an event occur. To conclude, the use of deixis in communication may convey clear information about who is talking, where it takes pace, and when it happens.

DAMPAK POLITIK IDENTITAS PADA PEMILIHAN UMUM 2024 MENDATANG
Authors: Perdana Andre Pebrian
Published: August 2023

Politik identitas akan terus hadir dalam narasi politik Indonesia menuju pemilihan presiden 2024 mendatang. Karena kondisi mental dan karakter masyarakat Indonesia belum terlepas dari sentimen primordialisme dan sektarianisme yang masih kuat mengakar dalam  budaya masyarakat Indonesia sekalipun sudah hidup di era demokratisasi terbuka dan era digitalisasi modern. istilah politik identitas  sudah lama dikontruksi sebagai narasi politik oleh kolompok elit politik tertentu di Indonesia sebagai wacana instrumen untuk  menggambarkan rasa kebencian  dan ketakutan kalah pada pihak lawan politiknya agar bisa menurunkan citra dan menyudutkan pigur tertentu yang biasanya dinilai kuat dan berpotensi menang, bisa mengalahkan lawan lainnya sehingga perlu disudutkan dengan narasi tidak nasionalis dan intoleran. Politik Identitas pada dasarnya adalah situasi dan cara berpolitik yang mempersatukan kelompok karena adanya rasa ketidakadilan dan ketidakpuasan yang didasari oleh persamaan latar belakang golongan, contohnya suku, ras, agama, dan jender. Identitas bukan hanya soal sosiologis tetapi juga bisa masuk ke ranah politik. politik identitas dapat berpengaruh baik dan buruk dalam republik yang berbhinneka ini.

Published: August 2023

Este recurso es un video didáctico sobre clases prácticas de laboratorio en la asignatura de Análisis de Alimentos. Se determina el índice de yodo en un alimento como es el aceite de oliva y de girasol, empleando para ello valoraciones como técnica analítica cuantitativa.

El índice de yodo es una medida del grado de insaturación de los componentes de una grasa. Será tanto mayor cuanto mayor sea el número de dobles enlaces C=C por unidad de grasa, utilizándose por ello para comprobar la pureza y la identidad de las grasas.
Se entiende como índice de yodo, los gramos de yodo que pueden ser fijados por 100 g de grasa. Como ejemplo, el índice de yodo del ácido oleico es 181 y del ácido linoleico 274. Las grasas y aceites, dependiendo de su grado de insaturación, se alteran con mayor o menor rapidez durante su almacenamiento. Estos procesos se denominan también “secado”.

El yodo por sí mismo no reacciona con los dobles enlaces C=C. En su lugar se utiliza bromo o halogenados mixtos como ICl o el IBr. El método recibe distintos nombres dependiendo del reactivo empleado. La adición de halógenos a los dobles enlaces depende de la constitución y configuración de los compuestos insaturados, del tipo de halógeno y de disolvente, así como de las condiciones externas. La reacción no es cuantitativa. Por ello, para que los resultados sean repetibles, hay que establecer exactamente unas condiciones de trabajo estandarizadas e indicar la metodología utilizada. El método de Hanus (IBr) tiene la ventaja de que el reactivo se prepara muy fácilmente.

Para la determinación del índice de yodo, la grasa disuelta se hace reaccionar con monobromuro de yodo en exceso. La cantidad de IBr que no se adiciona a los dobles enlaces oxida una solución de yoduro a yodo, y éste se valora con tiosulfato. La reacción de adición se lleva a cabo en oscuridad para evitar que se produzcan reacciones laterales de radicales, inducidos por la luz, que provocarían reacciones no deseadas, falseando los resultados. Dado que el reactivo halogenante, preparado en ácido acético glacial, es de concentración aproximada, deberá hacerse siempre un ensayo en blanco para calcular su equivalencia en yodo.

Mejora en la compresión y realización de los casos prácticos de laboratorio. Destrezas en el empleo de técnicas analíticas cuantitativas como son las valoraciones.

Authors: Wei Jui-Jung , Chen Shieh-Liang , Lin Hsin-Hung
Published: August 2023

The concept of "cultural creativity" has set off a wave of enthusiasm around the world recently. Taiwan has many cultural characteristics that are different from European and American cultural design. There is an opportunity for Taiwan to combine cultural inspiration and creative development and transformation through creative industries. Temples are close to the daily life of many people with local characteristics in Taiwan as places where the Taiwanese retain a rich cultural atmosphere. The development of the cultural and creative concepts of such cultural elements influences the marketing design, development, and production of various god themes, and the development of the industrialization of religious beliefs. However, the localized design must not be a copy or imitation of traditional patterns allowing the culture to be translated and interpreted with traditional vocabulary and novel language, nor be superficial. Thus, this research is conducted for glazed products in the cultural and creative industries combined with Taiwan's unique cultural elements to discuss the characteristics brought by Taiwan's temple culture and apply them to the glass design of cultural marketing.

A natural environment is a place or container where living things are. Many things, including humans, are in the environment and can help living things. For humans, many things can be obtained from the natural environment, including inner peace. This study examines the relationship between Nature Relatedness (NR) and Psychological Well-Being (PWB). This research was conducted using a correlational method and data collection using Google Form. NR is measured using the Relatedness Scale, adapted from the English scale (Nisbet, Zelenski, and Murphy, 2009). Meanwhile, PWB was measured using Ryff's Psychological Well-Being (RPWB) developed by Ryff (1989). This research was conducted using the convenience sampling method on 42 students in Semarang. Testing the hypothesis using Pearson's Product moment correlation analysis shows no significant relationship between NR and PWB (r= 0.201; p>= n.s). Thus, it was concluded that there was no correlation between NR and PWB in students.

The Earth’s environment and the health of living things are being negatively impacted by the microplastics in the oceans. We have studied a material identification method that could be performed using NIR light when the microplastics are inside water. The method is developed toward combining a flow cell to reduce the processes of drying and manually placing the microplastics in a measurement setup. The correlation coefficient was used to identify the material by comparing the absorbance spectrum with the reference data of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polymethyl methacrylate. The sizes, shapes, and materials of the microplastics were successfully identified.
Socio-economic significance of the health resort complex in the Healthnet market
Authors: Baranova A. Yu.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To substantiate the socio-economic significance of the sanatorium-resort complex in the market “Healthnet”.

 Tasks. To study the literature devoted to the topic “Healthnet”; to investigate the structure of the market “Healthnet”; to determine the place of sanatorium-resort complex in the market “Healthnet”.

Methods. In the course of writing the article the methods of logical and structural analysis, generalization, comparison were applied, official statistics was used.

Results. According to the results of the research of subjects, objects and segments of the Healthnet market, the lack of the role of the sanatorium-resort complex, which, being a set of objects and types of medical activities that provide treatment, recovery, prevention and rehabilitation of citizens, contributes to health saving of the population, was revealed. It was determined that the sanatorium-resort complex can be presented both as a consumer of Healthnet products and as a part of the Healthnet market, contributing to the growth of exports of medical services due to the inflow of foreign recreationists.

Conclusions. According to the estimates of the World Health Organization, Russia lags behind the leading countries of the world in terms of epidemiological situation, health care costs per capita, GDP per capita, average life expectancy. It is advisable to include target indicators of activity of health resort complex organizations in the current Healthnet Market Roadmap and consider them as full-fledged participants of this market. In case of ignoring the sanatorium[1]resort complex as a part of the market “Healthnet” the set tasks on health protection of the population both before the market itself, and before the state, infrastructural centers and other subjects will be under the threat of non-fulfillment.
Issues of methodology and objectivity of ESG rating
Authors: Buchinskaia O. N.
Published: August 2023

Aim.To identify problems in ESG rating methodology to develop principles for creating an  objective assessment of firms’ sustainability transition efforts.

Tasks.To conduct a brief review of previous studies that analyze the objectivity of ESG-rating; to examine the rating methodology from three companies that specialize in rating firms by ESG criteria; to identify the main so-called failures that affect the objectivity of assessment; to  formulate principles to improve the objectivity of the rating assessment of firms.

Methods.The study considered the methodology of three ESG-ratings: ESG-rating of S&P, the  rating of the American-British company Refinitiv and ESG-rating of the Italian company ECPI. The methods of descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, generalization and systematization have revealed the main directions reflected in the rankings, their similarities and differences as well as the reasons and ways of subjective evaluation which negatively influences the quality of the ranking.

Results.The author presents the evidence of biased evaluation of the considered rankings, caused by a number of factors, including doubtful parameters, taken for evaluation, the use of  biased sources, including data of non-governmental organizations and voluntarily published data on information disclosure. It shows the methodology of calculations, which gives preferences to large businesses, the opacity of the assessment and the ability of experts to adjust information in the process of assessment.

Conclusions.In order to build an objective ESG-evaluation, the stability and durability of the methodology should be ensured, and the changes made should not violate the comparability of the results. It is necessary to rely on a fixed list of disclosures subject to audit, to ensure the objectivity of the indicators under review and to take into account the dynamics of the identified contradictions over a long period. The author proposes to introduce a unified assessment methodology at the national level.
Potential benefits of introducing the digital ruble in the financial system of Russia
Authors: Makarov M. Yu.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To substantiate the potential advantages of introducing the digital ruble into the financial system of Russia.

Tasks. Theoretical analysis of existing views of Russian and foreign economists on the spread of digital currencies in the modern financial system. To study the possibilities of using digital currencies. Consideration of the concept of introduction of the digital ruble in the financial system of the Russian Federation (RF) and justification of its potential advantages and risks. Study of the digital ruble as a new form of national currency and its legitimization. Analysis of the annual growth rate of the monetary aggregate M0 in Russia for the period 2018-2023.

Methods. The study uses system and logical approaches, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis), methods of comparative and economic analysis, analytical processing of information, graphical presentation of information and mathematical modeling.

Results. In connection with the growth rate of digitalization development, the trend of digital currencies distribution in the modern financial system of the Russian Federation was characterized: the legislatively enshrined definitions of concepts were analyzed, electronic and digital money were compared, and the main types of digital currencies and their key features were identified. The annual growth rates of the monetary aggregate M0 in Russia for the period 2018-2023 were analyzed.

Conclusions. The identified potential advantages of the introduction of the digital ruble into the financial system of Russia will contribute to the reduction of the share of the shadow economy, large settlement transactions using smart contracts, reducing the costs of settlement and payment transactions, which should lead to a positive economic effect, but it is necessary to take into account the risks of this process. Periods of socio-economic instability may lead to an increase in the risk of mass desire of citizens to use cash. The analysis of the annual growth rates of the monetary aggregate M0 in Russia for the period 2018-2023 allowed us to conclude that for the effective implementation of such a property of the digital ruble as markability, it is necessary to reduce the volume of cash in the hands of the population. This goal can be achieved by increasing the financial and digital literacy of the population, which minimizes the risks of its implementation. In the future, the development of digital technologies in the economy will make it possible to give virtual currencies the official status of a means of payment.
Sustainable development of territories as a factor of financial sovereignty of the Russian Federation
Authors: Rumyantseva A. Yu. , Yurchenko T. V.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To check the availability of financial sustainability and self-sufficiency of the budget sphere of Russian regions in the period of new geopolitical challenges, as well as to develop reasoned, scientifically justified proposals that can be used in strategic territorial planning and will contribute to the financial sovereignty of the Russian Federation (RF).

Tasks. To consider the concepts of “financial sovereignty”, “financial security”, “financial stability”; to assess the financial stability of Russian regions, their fiscal self-sufficiency; to build an econometric model of the dependence of regional budgets revenues on a number of factors and to identify factors contributing to an increase in the revenue part of budgets, increasing the financial stability of regions and the financial sovereignty of the Russian Federation as a whole.

Methods. The authors used a systematic approach, general scientific methods of research, including comparative, logical, analysis and synthesis, economic and statistical, critical review of scientific publications. When developing recommendations, correlation and regression analysis was carried out.

Results. Financial sovereignty is the objective independence of the state in carrying out domestic and foreign financial policy. It is ensured by financial security at all levels of governance and in all spheres of socio-economic life. The main factor in increasing the stability of the financial system of the Russian Federation is a stable budget system of the country and its territorial formations. The study showed that the ability of regional budgets to cover their expenditures largely depends on receipts from the federal budget. Such dependence reduces the stability of regional budgets and creates an additional burden on the federal budget. Using the correlation and regression analysis, according to the statistical data for 2021, the factors of economic development that have a positive impact on the revenue part of regional budgets and increase their sustainability were identified. In particular, in the course of the study it became clear that the cost of research and development, innovation, implementation and use of digital technology today affect the economic development of regions. Their statistically significant strong correlation with the revenues of regional budgets was revealed. The results of the study can be used in the design of strategic programs for regional development.

Conclusions. There is a high dependence of regions on state support, which creates an additional burden on the federal budget, reducing its sustainability and financial sovereignty of the country. Subjects of the Russian Federation need to promote business development and stimulate its investment activity. The priority in the design of programs of strategic development of regions should be the introduction of digital technologies, increasing expenditure on research and development, innovation activities.
Practical aspects of artificial intelligence application in formation of competence model (on the example of railway industry)
Authors: Batsokin A. O.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To determine the potential of practical application of neural networks as a tool to form a model of competencies of JSC “RZD” employees who provide operation of railway infrastructure objects.

Tasks. To estimate the quality of the structure, description and level of detail of the competence model formed by a neural network by means of comparison with traditional sources containing requirements to the competence of a track mounting workman position.

Methods. The theoretical (analysis, modeling, specification, classification) and empirical (comparison, description, content analysis) general scientific research methods formed the methodological basis. The generation of the competence model by means of artificial intelligence was carried out with the help of the software complex based on neural networks.

Results. The structure and description of the competencies generated by the neural network correspond on the whole to the competency model of a track fitter and unified corporate requirements for the employees of JSC “RZD”. At the same time, the description of some professional competences is insufficient, which indicates the need to form an additional clarifying query to the neural network. The corporate competencies, defined by the neural network, are described in detail and contain more competencies, than the existing model of JSC “RZD” employees’ competencies.

Conclusions. In order to prepare a competency model, neural networks serve as an effective tool, which allows to ensure the proper quality of competency structure generation and description. The universality of this approach lies in the possibility to generate a competency model for any position regardless of the industry. The level of inclusiveness of neural networks increases with the development of digital environment, which ensures their accessibility in practice.
