The article presents the results of developing lightweight structural concretes based on ash-slag waste from the Almaty Thermal Power Plant-2. The ash-slag aggregates were produced using both firing and non-firing (clinker) technologies. The fired aggregates, obtained with the use of bentonite clay, exhibited a bulk density of 530–640 kg/m³ and a strength of 1.8–4.8 MPa. The non-fired aggregates based on Portland cement had a density of 644–690 kg/m³ and a strength of 1.79–2.98 MPa, while those based on liquid glass showed a density of 562–642 kg/m³ and a strength of 1.93–3.8 MPa. Using the obtained aggregates, lightweight concretes with a density of 1210–1750 kg/m³ and a strength of 100–152 kg/cm² were produced, meeting the requirements of GOST 25820-2014. In the compositions without coarse aggregate, the influence of additives such as CaCl₂, superplasticizers, and basalt fibers on the properties of ash concrete was studied. The strength of the concrete after 28 days exceeded the 7-day strength by 1.5–2.3 times, with the most significant effect observed from CaCl₂. Ash concrete of classes B10–B12 with a density of 1500–1600 kg/m³ was obtained, which according to GOST can be classified as structural-thermal insulating concrete. The objective of the research is to develop compositions of lightweight structural concrete based on ash-slag waste. The novelty of the work: for the first time, ash-slag aggregates based on the ash-slag from Almaty Thermal Power Plant-2 have been obtained using both firing and non-firing technologies.

АНАЛІЗ СПЕЦИФІКИ КОУЧИНГУ У РОБОТІ З ПІДЛІТКАМИ
Authors: ГУДЗЬ Тетяна Олександрівна
Published: February 2025

Стрімкий розвиток сучасного світу висуває високі вимоги до кожної особистості. Ми звернули увагу на надзвичайно вразливу вікову категорію – це підлітки. Метою написання цієї публікації є дослідження особливостей коучингу та доцільності і можливостей його використання у роботі з підлітками. У статті висвітлено трактування поняття «коучинг», яке означає «допомагати людині переміщатися від того місця, де вона перебуває, до того, де вона прагне бути». Головна мета коуча – допомогти клієнту усвідомити його потреби для досягнення конкретних життєвих цілей і сприяти розкриттю його потенціалу через реальні дії в реальних життєвих умовах. Визначено, що затребуваність коучингу для підлітків зростає через усвідомлення батьками важливості особистісного розвитку дитини, її внутрішнього стану як основи майбутнього успіху та важливості професійного супроводу цих процесів. Підлітковий вік особливо потребує коучингової підтримки, яка допомагає розвивати ключові навички: вміння ставити чіткі цілі, планувати необхідні дії та знаходити мотивацію для їх досягнення; усвідомлювати свої сильні сторони та ефективно використовувати їх у житті; мобілізувати ресурси для подолання життєвих викликів; розуміти свої емоції та керувати ними для досягнення позитивних результатів; вірити у власні сили, здібності та свідомо рухатися до значущих цілей; використовувати цікавість як інструмент для вирішення завдань; а також усвідомлювати, що якість процесу безпосередньо впливає на кінцевий результат. Проаналізувавши наукову літературу та практичний досвід з урахуванням особливостей роботи коуча з підлітками та загальної мети коучингу, можна виділити низку запитів, з якими підлітки найчастіше звертаються до коуча. Серед них – покращення загальної успішності в школі або з окремих предметів; планування та успішна реалізація підготовки до іспитів; поліпшення взаємин з однолітками, батьками й учителями; освоєння навичок ефективного планування та раціонального використання часу; розвиток здатності до саморегуляції у стресових обставинах; усвідомлення та ефективне використання власних емоцій; аналіз труднощів у школі або вдома та пошук шляхів їх вирішення. Також у статті визначено послуги, які коуч може надавати підлітку. Отже, у результаті аналізу даних доречно акцентувати увагу на доцільності використання коучингу у роботі з підлітками та необхідності подальшого детальнішого дослідження коучингових технологій для застосування у роботі з підлітками.

Authors: КОНОВАЛОВ Олексій Юрійович , ЛАРІНА Еліна Вікторівна , ЮДЬКО Алла Миколаївна
Published: February 2025

У статті авторами проаналізовані дефініції «інтелект», «емоційний інтелект», «соціально-емоційне навчання». Зазначено, що сучасний світ характеризується швидкими змінами, високим рівнем конкуренції та постійними стресовими ситуаціями. У таких умовах здатність успішно адаптуватися стає однією з найважливіших навичок людини. Емоційний інтелект як здатність усвідомлювати свої емоції та емоції інших людей, керувати ними та використовувати цю інформацію для прийняття рішень відіграє в освітньому процесі ключову роль. У ході дослідження було використано комплексний підхід, який охоплює всебічний аналіз психолого-педагогічної літератури: опрацювання наукових монографій, статей, дисертаційних досліджень та інших наукових джерел, що висвітлюють вибрану тему. Крім цього, використовувалися емпіричні методи, зокрема спостереження, опитування, тестування та аналіз результатів діяльності, що дозволило отримати достовірні дані для глибокого розуміння дослідницької діяльності. У процесі дослідження встановлено, що у сучасному розумінні соціально-емоційний інтелект є навичкою, яка потребує постійного розвитку протягом усього життя, подібно до підтримання загальної функціональної грамотності на належному рівні. Ця здатність забезпечує ефективну взаємодію з іншими, емоційну стабільність і адаптацію до суспільних викликів. Авторами було проведене дослідження серед здобувачів освіти з метою зібрати інформацію про рівень усвідомлення ними важливості емоційного інтелекту; визначити особистий досвід респондентів, а також оцінити вплив емоційного інтелекту на адаптацію здобувачів освіти до сучасних викликів. Результати дослідження дозволяють зробити висновок, що для ефективного розвитку емоційного інтелекту у здобувачів вищої освіти необхідно поєднувати різноманітні методи. Систематичне навчання, індивідуальна робота з фахівцем, самоосвіта та практичні вправи – все це сприяє формуванню необхідних компетенцій.

The obtained results can be used to develop recommendations for increasing the competitiveness of companies in various market segments.
Зміна характеру війни
Authors: Лісовий О.
Published: February 2025

Однополярний світовий порядок, усталений після завершення холодної війни, зазнав трансформаційних змін спричинених війною російської федерації проти України та зростаючою конфронтацією Китайської Народної Республіки зі Сполученими Штатами Америки. Зміна світового устрою з однополярного на багатополярний сприяє посиленню протистояння тоталітарних режимів і створених ними союзів із країнами відданими демократичним принципам і цінностям, що у підсумку призвело до повернення конфронтації між великими державами та загрози початку нової світової війни.
Збройна агресія РФ проти України, що почалася в 2014 році з анексії Криму і гібридної агресії на сході України, з 24 лютого 2022 року переросла в повномасштабну війну, яка, на жаль, не має ознак скорого завершення. Безумовно, знадобитися багато часу для ретельної оцінки та вивчення всіх уроків, які мають бути винесені з цієї війни.
Незважаючи на очікування експертів, російсько-українська війна не стала звичною, добре вивченою війною, в якій вирішальну роль мали відігравати традиційні засоби ураження, такі як авіація, танки і, звичайно, артилерія. Навпаки, неспіврозмірність військових, економічних та людських потенціалів сторін збройного конфлікту та стійкість України спонукала противників до стрімкого розвитку і застосування у збройній боротьбі нових технологій таких як безпілотні автономні системи, гіперзвукова та високоточна зброя, широке використання штучного інтелекту та електромагнітного спектру, зростання ролі кіберборотьби тощо.
У цій публікації, на основі безпосередніх подій на полі бою здійснено аналіз того, яким чином змінювався характер російсько-української війни на різних етапах першого року повномасштабної збройної агресії РФ проти України та які чинники були каталізатором цих змін.

Aim : To study the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of PPO in the General
Surgery Department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital, Conakry, Guinea.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study over a 5-year period from January 1, 2015 to December
31, 2019. It included all patients admitted to the General Surgery Department for postoperative
peritonitis or who developed it during their hospitalization.
Results: Out of a total of 4,244 laparotomies, we collected 67 cases of postoperative peritonitis, or
1.57%. They represented 13% of all peritonitis treated in the General Surgery Department of the Ignace
Deen National Hospital. There was a female predominance, or 54%. The average age of the patients
was 28 years. The clinical picture was dominated by abdominal pain, abdominal defense, and fever,
which were present in all patients, or 100%. Abdominal ultrasound contributed to the diagnosis in
89.6% of cases. The etiologies were dominated by ileal perforation 43.3%. The procedures performed
during surgery were peritoneal toilet 100%, excision + suture 44.7%. The postoperative course was
simple in more than half of the cases, i.e. 56.7%. The mortality rate was 19.4%. The prognostic factor
was the prolonged time of evolution of PPO P-value = 0.014.
Conclusion: Postoperative peritonitis is rare in our department. When it occurs, its morbidity and
mortality rates are high.

Forest and shrubland structure of Polylepis tarapacana in topographic and substrate gradients across the Argentine Altiplano
Authors: López Victoria Lien , Martínez Pastur Guillermo , Cellini Juan Manuel
Published: February 2025

Background: Polylepis tarapacana (queñoa) is a species that grow from forests to shrublands in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru, reaching an elevation range of 4400-5000 m a.s.l. In Argentina, this species occurred in the Altoandina phyto-geographic eco-region, which presents scarce vegetation, and where it is the most important tree species for its great socio-economic importance. The structure of these communities and the changes related to environmental gradients are not well described in the literature. The objective was to relate topographic factors with variables of structure of the P. tarapacana communities, evaluating the occupation degree (e.g. density and crown cover) of the species.
Methods: We studied P. tarapacana forests and shrublands in northern Argentina, sampling 98 plots (50–4000 m²) to measure diameter at the base (DAB-cm), dominant height (DH-cm), life forms, crown cover (CC-%), and density (DEN-n ha-1). Topographic variables (elevation, slope, aspect) and substrate type were also recorded. Generalized Linear Models (GLM) were used to assess the influence of topography on forest structure, and univariate analyses to evaluate structural changes across life forms with topography.
Results: Great heterogeneity was observed in the structure of open forests or shrublands patches of P. tarapacana, at high elevations (<4500 m a.s.l.), gentle slopes (21°) and in north aspect (95% of the plots). Topographic factors influence vegetation structure variables, e.g: elevation has a significant positive effect on DH (β = 0.105, p = 0.011), while slope (β = -0.144, p = 0.001) and eastern aspect (β = -0.083, p = 0.040) have significant negative effects on DH (F=6.85, p <0.001). Slope was the only significant variable with a positive effect on CC (β = 0.275, p = 0.001). The life forms of P. tarapacana are influenced by topographic gradients, and the tallest communities (178.2 cm DH) are found at high elevations and low slopes, mainly in areas with bare soil and understorey vegetation.
Conclusions: Polylepis tarapacana structure was associated to the studied topographic gradients. It is crucial to identify changes in the composition and structure of forest and shrubland, considering both the substrate in which they develop, and the different life forms they adopt.

Cancer is a complex global health challenge that requires novel and holistic approaches to treatment and prevention. Polyherbal medicines, composed of multiple plants with historical use in traditional medicine, have gained popularity due to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility. However, selecting the right plants and determining optimal combinations for enhanced biological effects remains challenging. To address this, a molecular docking study was conducted, targeting proteins implicated in cancer pathogenesis. The study identified bioactive compounds with strong binding energies, guiding the selection of polyherbal formulations for further experimentation. Using response surface methodology, various combinations of plant extracts were screened for their antioxidant properties and phytochemical content. Among the formulations tested, PHEE (Polyherbal Ethanolic Extract), comprising 70% soursop leaf, 5% jackfruit leaf, 5% orange peel, 15% citrus juice, and 5% apple fruit ethanolic extracts, exhibited the most potent biological activities, followed by SLEE (Soursop Leaf Ethanolic Extract), a 100% soursop leaf ethanolic extract. Design Expert Software predicted soursop leaf extract as a key contributor to desirable outcomes, attributed to its rich phytochemical composition. Cell-based assays revealed varying cytotoxic effects of the extracts on leukemia cells, with PHEE showing the highest potency (IC50 = 2.50 μg/mL), followed closely by SLEE (IC50 = 2.90 μg/mL). These effects are potentially due to the abundant acetogenins and flavonoids present in the extracts. However, caution is warranted regarding their cytotoxicity to normal cells. Apoptotic studies confirmed the ability of both PHEE and SLEE to induce programmed cell death, further supporting their potential as anticancer agents. This research underscores the importance of strategic plant combinations in polyherbal formulations and highlights PHEE as a promising candidate for further investigation in cancer treatment.
Modelling the effects of self-regulation, perceived usefulness, confirmation and satisfaction on the continuous intention to utilise mobile learning applications

Published: February 2025

Although m-learning applications have been widely used in universities, the factors that might affect the continuous intention to utilise them have not been fully addressed. Therefore, this study aimed to understand this by extending the expectation confirmation model (ECM) and incorporating self-regulated learning (SRL). A quantitative research design was adopted, and data were gathered using a structured questionnaire distributed to 227 undergraduate university students through simple random sampling. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) in AMOS. The findings revealed that the proposed model has high explanatory power (79%), which explains the phenomena of influential factors. Additionally, students’ perceived usefulness (PU) and satisfaction had a positive direct significant effect on students’ continuous intention to use m-learning applications. However, perceived usefulness did not affect satisfaction but confirmation did. Furthermore, SRL had an indirect positive effect on continuous intention, while it had a direct significant effect on both perceived usefulness and confirmation. The practical and theoretical implications of this study are further discussed in detail.
1-methylnicotinamide modulates IL-10 secretion and voriconazole metabolism
Authors: Deng Xiaoyan , Li Yuanqing , Jiang Lin , Xie Xuqiu , Wang Xiaokang
Published: February 2025

Background

Inflammatory diseases impair the hepatic metabolism of voriconazole (VRC). 1-Methylnicotinamide (1-MNA), a common final metabolite of nicotinamide in the liver, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in recent studies. This study investigated the impact of 1-MNA on VRC metabolism in the liver.

Method

Mice with a systemic inflammatory response induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were intragastrically administered 1-MNA, and their VRC metabolic capacity was evaluated. Kupffer cells and primary hepatocytes were isolated, and flow cytometry along with molecular knockdown experiments were performed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying improved drug metabolism. IL-10 knockout (IL-10–/–) mice were used to validate the role of IL-10 in enhancing hepatocyte VRC metabolism under inflammatory conditions.

Results

1-MNA promoted M2 polarization of liver Kupffer cells, stimulated IL-10 secretion, upregulated CYP2C38 expression in primary hepatocytes, and enhanced VRC metabolism. The mechanism by which IL-10 upregulated CYP2C38 appears to involve the inhibition of the nuclear transcription factor NF-κB (p65) in hepatocytes.

Conclusions

1-MNA regulated Kupffer cell polarization in an LPS-induced inflammatory environment, reduced the inflammatory inhibition of CYP2C38 expression in hepatocytes, and promoted VRC metabolism.
Modulation of vigilance/alertness using beta (30 Hz) transcranial alternating current stimulation
Authors: Chu Zhongliang , Wang Rui , Zhou Tianyi
Published: February 2025

Vigilance refers to the ability to maintain alertness and sustain attention for prolonged periods to detect and respond to subtle changes in the environment. Previous research has explored the use of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to modulate brain oscillations and enhance vigilance/alertness. In this study, we explore the modulation effects of different stimulation parameters on Vigilance using an open-source dataset. The open-source dataset includes within participant application of High-Definition tES (HD-tES) types, targeting two cortical regions (frontal, motor) with one stimulation waveforms (30 Hz); combining human-participant high-density electroencephalography (EEG) with continuous behavioral metrics. We only analyzed the behavioral task performance data to assess how vigilant states are acutely altered by specific tES types. Our findings indicate that (1) Both online and offline tACS improve vigilance performance; (2) online tACS have greater effect on vigilance performance than offline tACS; (3) tACS that targeting frontal region have greater effect on vigilance performance than stimulating the motor region. These results align with the view of current the theoretical accounts on the oscillatory nature of vigilance attention and contribute to the groundwork for tACS closed-loop interventions for counteracting vigilance decrements.
