Authors: Plakhotnyk Oleksii , Burian Serhii
Published: October 2024

Analysing current approaches to organising remote learning in the frontline territories of Ukraine during martial law is crucial to ensure the continuity of education in times of crisis. This study aimed to identify the main challenges and prospects of remote learning, particularly by examining international experience and evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented learning models. For this purpose, a descriptive approach involving traditional document analysis, a systematic approach, and analytical and synthetic methods was employed. The primary sources of analysis were Ukrainian Laws, resolutions, Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine’s orders, Ministry of Education and Science orders and letters adopted after 24 February 2022. The study found that the key challenges for organising distance learning in frontline areas were ensuring the safety of participants in the educational process, a lack of technical facilities and resources, and psychological difficulties for students and teachers. The introduction of cutting-edge technologies and the adaptation of teaching methods could significantly increase the effectiveness of distance learning in times of crisis. Recommendations for enhancing the educational process have been formulated, including the integration of innovative technologies, advanced training for educators, and psychological support for all participants in the educational process. The study’s practical value lies in the potential application of these recommendations to improve the organisation of education in the frontline areas of Ukraine, ensuring the continuity of education amidst hostilities and enhancing overall educational quality. The findings can inform the development of national strategies for distance learning during crises and contribute to improving the regulatory framework in the education sector

Authors: Leknitska Svitlana , Sakhanda Ivanna
Published: October 2024

The full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation aggressor country into Ukraine has led to the mobilisation of Ukrainian citizens of the draft age and caused a reduction in the labour market of young and middle-aged specialists. To support the labour market and economy of Ukraine, the need arose to introduce elderly people into the educational system. Therefore, the main aim of this article was to determine the specific grounds for developing educational gerontology during the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. The data for the research were assessed using quantitative and qualitative methods, including questionnaires, observation, and analysis of data and documents. The study of the main fields of educational gerontology chosen by elderly people revealed the following: digital technology, management, health and wellness, language and culture, creative arts, engineering and infrastructure, agriculture, and logistics and supply. Researchers of educational gerontology in the USA and European countries (including Ukraine up to February 2022) identified the main reasons for the need to include elderly persons in the educational process, namely: loneliness, mental health support, and socialisation. After February 2022, the main reasons for including the elderly in the educational process expanded to include the shortage of specialists in various fields of the economy due to the mobilisation of young and middle-aged adults into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the tragic loss of life from the bombings of Ukrainian cities and villages, and the outflow of human resources abroad. These circumstances necessitate the development of adult learning strategies and the establishment of a network of educational gerontology institutes, which will provide mental health support for the elderly and include them in the socio-economic environment

Authors: Tychyna Kateryna , Babych Natalia , Lyndinа Yevheniia , Revutska Olena
Published: October 2024

The relevant challenges are the use of innovative approaches that conserve both the speech therapist’s and the child’s resources while addressing multiple goals in speech therapy. The authors of this article have adopted such an approach to develop oral motor skills, which are crucial for speech development in preschoolers, particularly those with childhood apraxia of speech. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an author-developed therapy using Playdough games for preschool children with childhood apraxia of speech. A controlled design with repeated measures was employed. The primary diagnosis of CAS was established based on clinical assessment. A comparative evaluation of two groups (control and experimental) was conducted using a developed methodology for assessing the level of manual and oral motor skills in preschool children before and after the author-developed therapy using Playdough games. Researchers discovered that the systematic use of their author-developed Playdough games positively impacted the motor skills of children with CAS. Children in the experimental group, who participated in Playdough therapy, demonstrated significant improvements in both manual and oral motor skills, increased precision and focus in movement execution, and enhanced accuracy and speed of articulatory movements. There was a reduction in delays and incorrect movement sequences during finger movement tasks. Children required less additional time and significantly less assistance from the speech therapist, indicating a positive impact of using Playdough in therapy. The following skills improved: transitions between articulatory positions, which helped children avoid coarticulation difficulties; planning of movement sequences; and smooth transitions between sounds and syllables. The practical significance of this study lies in the effectiveness of using Playdough games for significantly improving oral motor skills, movement precision, and concentration in children with childhood apraxia of speech, thereby reducing the need for additional speech therapy support

Authors: Yablonska Tetiana , Shevchuk Anastasia
Published: October 2024

Expanding the methodological toolkit of research, particularly through adapting foreign psychometric tools, is crucial for Ukrainian psychology. This allows for conducting new research and comparing its results. One promising direction is studying the impostor phenomenon, manifested in an individual’s doubts about their achievements. The Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale, developed by foreign researchers, is used for this purpose. This study aimed to adapt the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale into Ukrainian. The Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale was translated into Ukrainian by two psychologists using the back-translation method. The research sample consisted of 297 students aged 18 to 22 (M = 20.4, SD = 1.49), including 82 males and 215 females. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis of scales, correlation analysis (Spearman’s coefficient), and confirmatory factor analysis were used. The results of the study indicate a considerable degree of consistency between the obtained data and the foundational theoretical model. The assessment of content validity revealed a significant number of statistically significant correlations. A high level of test-retest reliability was identified for the adapted methodology. The resulting factor model is conceptually similar to the original; however, it is not identical. Other studies have also noted the emergence of new factor models, suggesting the potential for refinement of this methodology or reflecting age, temporal, and cross-cultural differences among the subjects studied. The evaluation of the psychometric characteristics of the Ukrainian version of the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale demonstrated high internal validity and reliability for the adapted tool. The Ukrainian version of the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale may be valuable for the psychodiagnosis of impostor syndrome manifestations and further standardisation and application in comparative research. The findings could contribute to optimising psychological support by taking into account the specific characteristics of impostor syndrome in the course of psychological work

The role of factors leading to reverse LV remodeling in patients with multivessel ischemic heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been sufficiently studied. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief and concise review of the current understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical predictors, and studies of LV reverse remodeling after complete and incomplete revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary disease. Materials and methods. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in the search systems: eLIBRARY.RU, PubMed, Medline, ResearchGate, Connected papers and Google Scholar mainly from 2019 to 2024 (85.7 %). Results. The cumulative evidence suggests that key factors that can initiate and maintain remodeling processes include myocardial ischemic injury, chronic inflammation, neurohormonal activation, and oxidative stress. A decrease in all these factors can lead to reverse myocardial remodeling. This is possible with complete revascularization during primary PCI, which leads to improved clinical course and reduced 30-day, 1-year and 3-year mortality rates. A combination of biomarkers from different groups may be suitable for predicting reverse remodeling (brain natriuretic peptide precursor-N-terminal natriuretic hormone propeptide, high-sensitivity troponins, C-reactive protein and creatinine kinase), as well as echocardiographic findings, especially 3D-echocardiographic assessments of ventricular volumes, mass and ejection fraction. Conclusion. Complete revascularization is feasible and has great advantages over revascularization of only one infarct-related coronary artery.

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) is a tropical fruit that is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids and betacyanins which have positive effects on human health. However, fresh dragon fruit has a short shelf life and can be damaged during storage and distribution. The aim of tecnology application is to increase the shelf life of dragon fruit by processing it into a powdered drink using the caramelization method. Caramelization is a heating technique that can improve the taste, stability and extend the shelf life of the product without reducing its nutritional value. In this project dragon fruit was heated until it caramelized, producing a more complex taste and aroma. After the caramelization process, the dragon fruit is dried and air-dried to produce powder. This process successfully improves the quality of the product, with a richer natural sweet taste. This project confirms that the caramelization method is effective in extending the shelf life of dragon fruit and maintaining its quality. The resulting dragon fruit powder drink provides an innovative solution in the storage and distribution of dragon fruit. This discovery opens up opportunities for the development of more efficient and healthier functional foods.
The Role of Neuromarketing in the Purchasing Behavior of Customers: The Role of Cognition and Perception in Purchasing Decisions
Authors: Afshin Yaghoobi
Published: October 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of neuro-marketing on customer purchase behavior through the role of cognition and perception in purchase decision-making. To test these hypotheses, participants were placed in a laboratory environment and exposed to emotional and cognitive stimuli. Brainwaves (alpha and beta) and behavioral indicators such as the number of purchases, purchase amount, and decision-making time were evaluated as the main variables. The sample consisted of 30 participants, who were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The results indicated that emotional and cognitive stimuli had a significant impact on alpha and beta brainwaves. Emotional stimuli led to an increase in beta waves and a reduction in decision-making time, suggesting enhanced alertness and faster decision-making. Additionally, cognitive stimulation significantly increased both alpha and beta waves and reduced decision-making time. However, the effect of these stimuli on the number of purchases and the total amount spent was not significant.

Gender Disparities in Book Circulation at a Chinese University Library (2012–2022)
Authors: Liu Jiexuan
Published: October 2024

The study explores the significance of gender differences in higher education, using book circulation data from Nanjing Normal University libraries between 2012 and 2022. It aims to analyze gender disparities and calculate the mathematical characteristics of gender prediction probability using the ANN model. The time-series ARIMA model also forecasts the average number of books that male and female teachers and teacher candidates are expected to borrow and renew in the next three years. The findings indicate that men tend to be more focused and persistent readers despite women having a more extensive network of book borrowing ties. Male graduate students and faculty members demonstrate significantly greater individual variability in book renewals than their female counterparts. Additionally, the maximum value of book renewals for male graduate students and male faculty members is notably higher than that of female graduate students and female faculty members. Book renewal frequency is a crucial factor in ANN gender prediction. On average, male readers incur higher overdue fines than female readers, and the overdue fines for both genders during the COVID-19 pandemic were considerably higher than usual. The actual monthly average renewal rates in 2022 exhibited significant fluctuations across genders and academic statuses, highlighting the limitations of the ARIMA model and other factors influencing renewal rates.

PFAS e salute: quali rischi per l’uomo?
Authors: Sapuppo Annamaria , Uga Elena
Published: October 2024

Perfluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a series of synthetic chemical compounds that can be found in the environment, potentially associated with various adverse health effects on human health, such as carcinogenicity, immune and genotoxicity, and endocrine disorders. During pregnancy, an increased risk of fetal growth retardation, low birth weight, and preterm birth has also been highlighted; possible delays in motor and cognitive development in children have also been reported, with potential effects on their learning ability and social interaction. The metabolic alterations reported in adults could also be possible in children, with an increased risk of obesity and early puberty. Through direct exposure (ingestion of contaminated substances) and indirect exposure (consumption of foods that have come into contact with PFAS through packaging, storage, and cooking), PFAS can compromise our food security with possible long-term outcomes. This problem is now of global concern and, unfortunately, also affects Italy, as shown by the “Veneto case”, particularly in the provinces of Padua and Verona, where a marked contamination of the sewer system and drinking water of the territory has been found, with very high concentrations of PFAS (>1000 ng/L). From this perspective, the medical and scientific community must be aware of the presence of PFAS in the environment and their possible interference with health to suggest ways to reduce exposure, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children.

Role of chemistry in modern world: Boons and banes of chemical coating effects on human health
Authors: R. Hema Krishna
Published: October 2024

Water is the principal component of fresh fruits and Vegetable which constitutes between 80 to 90% of a produce's fresh weight. Fruits are covered by a layer of natural wax which acts as a barrier to reduce moisture loss and at the same times give the fruit a shiny surface. Besides orange shellac, other common materials used for these purposes include starch, carrageenan, alginates, wood rosin and various waxes. Panko breadcrumbs are crucial to the vegetables being very crispy. The coatings are typically made from natural materials, such as CHI, cellulose, and pectin that are safe for human consumption. The multilayer coating method has been shown to be effective in extending the shelf life of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, including apples, strawberries, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Both natural waxes (carnauba, shellac, beeswax or resin) and petroleum-based waxes (usually proprietary formulae) are used, and often more than one wax is combined to create the desired properties for the fruit or vegetable being treated. However, chemical treatments, such as copper sulfate, rhodamine oxide, malachite green, and deadly carbide, used on green vegetables to enhance coloration and freshness, are often counterproductive to their nutritional value. There is multiple health risks associated with these chemicals. This study reveals that food preservatives have made a big difference in eating food every day. They help keep the food safe because they add these chemicals to prevent spoilage and retard prevent or control undesirable changes in flavor, color, texture, or consistency of food and nutritive value of food which means the Control natural spoilage of food.
BALANCING IDENTITY AND LIBERTY: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF LIBERAL NATIONALISM
Authors: Çiçek Ali
Published: October 2024

Nationalism studies examine political and cultural nationalism as fundamental frameworks for understanding nation-building and identity formation. Political nationalism emphasizes the importance of sovereignty, self-determination and governance structures that support these principles. In contrast, cultural nationalism focuses on preserving and promoting shared heritage, language and traditions that define a community’s distinctive identity. Liberal nationalism, on the other hand, seeks to balance collective identity with the protection of individual rights and freedoms and seeks to harmonize these elements in a democratic context. Leading thinkers such as Yael Tamir, David Miller and Will Kymlicka have engaged in rigorous debates about the merits and challenges of liberal nationalism. These thinkers address the complexities and tensions that arise in different and pluralistic contexts regarding liberal nationalism and explore its potential to promote inclusive and harmonious societies. One critical debate focuses on the applicability of liberal nationalism, particularly in societies with significant ethnic, cultural and religious diversity. This article aims to fill an important gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of liberal nationalism. It compares this ideology with other forms of nationalism, such as ethnic and civic nationalism, providing a nuanced understanding of its distinct features and potential benefits. The article also assesses the applicability of liberal nationalism through literature reviews. By examining the theoretical foundations and practical implications of liberal nationalism, this study offers a perspective on its role in contemporary democracies. It highlights how liberal nationalism can be a viable framework for nation-building that respects collective identity and individual rights and offers a balanced approach to governance in increasingly diverse societies.

The magic of Pharmacobiotechnology: From magistrals to recombinant viruses in gene therapy
Authors: Liras Martín Antonio
Published: October 2024

In the history of societies, in general, there is a progressive evolution, which runs parallel to the progress of science and, in particular, of Medicine. Perhaps it is necessary to consider, without fear of misunderstanding, that Pharmacology has allowed us to live longer and better. If we look back, especially those of us who have had the good fortune of having a very old apothecary’s shop, where perhaps our great-grandfather was a pharmacist, a lifelong pharmacist, in an almost lost village in the former Castilla La Vieja, around the second half of the 19th century, we can better appreciate the progress that has been made. But, in addition, if the great-grandson in question chose to follow a family tradition of being an apothecary, things take on a different dimension, especially when his vocation has been of university professor in Pharmacy and of researcher in Biotechnology. Knowing that we are facing an extraordinarily novel pharmacological reality, it would seem that we are moving in the world of magic and surprise. Because the therapeutic purposes that are being pursued at the present time were unimaginable decades ago, and even less so with the current techniques, pharmaceutical forms and procedures that are a combination of the multidisciplinary activity of many specialists. In this evolution that goes from magistral formulas, of empirical utility, to new advanced therapies, areas have been born that are the combination of different knowledge, such as Pharmacobiotechnology. We also control, in part, biology in its most intimate “soul”, which is the genome, and we are able to create animal models with a specific pathology to study new drugs. Pharmacobiotechnology has made it possible to obtain recombinant therapeutic proteins in the laboratory; recombinant mono- and bispecific antibodies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases and, through new therapies, gene therapy and cell therapy, it is possible to correct alterations in the genes that give rise to many hereditary diseases. However, in this new world of modern pharmacology, which will be largely individualized, the bioethics of healing must be kept in mind, lest the new high-cost procedures can further increase social inequity.

Servir y sentir en el claustro: emociones contrapuestas en la experiencia esclavista de los monasterios femeninos. Santiago de Chile, siglos XVII y XVIII
Authors: Fuentes González Alejandra
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo estudia la experiencia esclavista en los monasterios femeninos de Santiago de Chile entre los siglos XVII y XVIII, para el caso de los sujetos de origen africano. Tomando la historia cultural de las emociones como cuadrante interpretativo para examinar una serie de fuentes conventuales y extraconventuales como visitas pastorales, escritos confesionales, registros de cuentas, renuncias de bienes temporales y cartas de libertad, la investigación determina la constelación de emociones contrapuestas que trazó la trayectoria cotidiana de dicha experiencia, de qué modo y cuáles fueron sus consecuencias a corto y mediano plazo.

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers characterized by high rates of tumor recurrence throughout the patient’s life. Urine biomarkers detect the disease in its early stages to enhance patient prognosis, lower mortality and lessen expensive procedures such as cystoscopy. Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to assess the performance of the biomarkers within urine for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer and compare the results with conventional approaches. Study design: A Cross Sectional study Place and duration of study. Department of General Surgery Ziauddin University Hospital from jan 2021 to dec 2021 Methods: A total of 150 patients, 90 cases with bladder cancer and 60 controls were assessed. NMP22, UroVysion, and BLCA-4 were utilized in the urinary samples with biomarkers. Diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of each of the markers were calculated using the test results. Quantitative descriptive data was used in statistical comparison where standard deviation (SD) and p-value were used to test the significance of the findings. Results: The urinary biomarkers demonstrated fairly inconsistent mean sensitivities and specificities for early detection. Detectivity of NMP22 was 82% (SD ± 4.5), of UroVysion 78% (SD ± 3.2), of BLCA-4 was 85% (SD ± 5.1). The sensitivity of the tests were at 75% (SD ± 3.8) for NMP22, 82% (SD ± 4.0) for UroVysion and 80% (SD ± 4.3) for BLCA-4. The p-values for all biomarkers regarding difference in performance compared with conventional approaches were <0.05, which revealed statistical difference. Conclusions: Several urinary markers, such as BLCA-4, have been also identified to provide the potential for early diagnosis of bladder cancer in humans. It is therefore clear that these non invasive procedures are effective, highly sensitive and specific investigations in place of cystoscopy. Additional big research trials using these deadlines still have to be conducted in order to determine their efficacy in clinical practice.

This study ascertained the leadership practices and style, managerial effectiveness, and job satisfaction and performance among heads of local social welfare development offices (LSWDOs) in Panay Island. Conducted in February 2023, 104 heads, selected through simple random sampling method, served as respondents of the study. Four (4) published standardized data-gathering instruments were utilized in the study-the Leadership Practices Inventory; the Leadership Style Survey; the Leadership Assessment instrument, and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire; and the Agency’s Office Performance Commitment and Review and Individual Performance Commitment and Review. Statistical tools used were frequency count, percentage analysis, rank, mean, standard deviation, the eta correlation, and the Pearson’s r. Hypotheses were tested at .05 alpha level. Study results revealed that the most dominant leadership practices among heads of (LSWDOs) was “enabling others to act,” while “inspire a shared vision” was least dominant. “Model the way,” “challenge the process,” “enabling others to act,” and “encourage the heart” were extremely nurtured among the heads with participative style as their most dominant leadership style. These heads, described as great leaders, were very satisfied with their jobs and had outstanding job performance. They did not vary in their leadership practices, leadership styles, managerial effectiveness, job satisfaction, and job performance, regardless of their personal characteristics. Leadership practices, leadership style, managerial effectiveness; job satisfaction; and job performance were positively and not significantly related.
