O objetivo deste estudo foi padronizar um método de genotipagem in house para detecção da mutação de nucleotídeo único no éxon 7 do gene CSN2 em vacas da raça Girolando oriundas de uma propriedade rural do Norte de Minas Gerais. Para tal, amostras de sangue de nove vacas previamente genotipadas foram coletadas randomicamente e submetidas ao procedimento de extração de DNA. Posteriormente foi realizada a análise de polimorfismo de fragmentos de restrição pela PCR (PCR-RFLP) seguida da digestão dos amplicons obtidos com a enzima de restrição DdeI. A confirmação do relacionamento genético dentre as amostras foi realizada pela analise multivariada Cluster Analysis com o método de ligação completa para o cálculo da distância Euclidiana e geração de um dendrograma pelo software estatístico Minitab v.16. O amplicon de 121pb correspondente à região parcial do gene CSN2 foi detectado em todas as amostras. Das nove amostras analisadas, seis foram identificadas o genótipo A2A2 e três A1A1 para o gene CSN2. Esse resultado indicou 100% de coincidência entre os resultados do método in house e a genotipagem comercial. O método PCR-RFLP in house padronizado pode ser útil para a rápida e confiável genotipagem do gene CSN2 em bovinos da raça Girolando.

Published: June 2024

O crime organizado pode ser caracterizado como um problema público complexo que transpassa fronteiras. Em função da complexidade que envolve suas causas e consequências, acreditamos que a perspectiva teórica dos problemas perversos ou wicked problems (Rittel; Webber, 1973) auxilia na compreensão do fenômeno. Entretanto, algumas críticas existentes à abordagem dos problemas perversos apontam para a necessidade de discutir o fenômeno a partir de seus fundamentos epistemológicos. É com base nessas críticas que identificamos a necessidade de aprofundamento direcionado ao estudo dos problemas perversos. Isto porque problemas de grande magnitude, tais como os que envolvem água, migrações forçadas, pobreza, crise ambiental, violência, terrorismo, destruição de tecido social urbano, entre outros, não podem ser adequadamente abordados a partir do escopo de conhecimentos específicos ou disciplinas individuais. Todos esses desafios são claramente transdisciplinares. Nosso objetivo, portanto, é propor uma reflexão do crime organizado enquanto wicked problem a partir de uma perspectiva sistêmico-complexa-transdisciplinar, de forma a contribuir para o estudo e a pesquisa desse importante desafio das sociedades contemporâneas.

Published: June 2024

Este trabalho, de natureza bibliográfica, aborda o debate sobre o uso das perspectivas de pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa em pesquisas educacionais. O mesmo tem como objetivo abordar o debate entre o uso da pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa, resgatando também o debate entre o marxismo e positivismo, destacando o lugar da pesquisa quantitativa na educação, ressaltando a importância da pesquisa qualitativa na educação e refletindo sobre a interação existente entre os aspectos quantitativos e qualitativos em pesquisas educacionais. O problema a que esta pesquisa se propõe a responder é: Até que ponto pode-se trabalhar com a pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa em uma pesquisa educacional? Para fundamentar esse texto serão utilizados trabalhos de autores como Löwy (2009), Triviños (1987), Bogdan e Biklen (1994), Santos Filho e Gamboa (2013), Zanette (2017), Frigotto (2000), Gil (2008), Babbie (1999) entre outros que irão dialogar conosco ampliando a discussão sobre o tema proposto. Assim, concluímos que a pesquisa educacional pode ser ao mesmo tempo, quantitativa e qualitativa, pois esta produção desmistifica a ideia de contraposição entre pesquisa quantitativa e pesquisa qualitativa, onde a tese mais aceita hoje é a da unidade dos paradigmas. Para tanto, esta combinação de metodologias distintas favorece o enriquecimento da investigação e análise dos dados.

INFLUENCE OF NEO-OTTOMANISM TRADITIONS ON THE CURRENT STATE OF RUSSIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS: THEORY AND PRACTICE
Authors: SHCHERBAKOV I.M.
Published: June 2024

The article examines the problems of the current state of Russian-Turkish relations through the analysis of the theoretical and methodological apparatus of neo-Ottomanism (new Ottomanism) as a foreign policy tradition, which, from the author’s point of view, today occupies one of the leading places in the foreign policy course of the current government of R.T. Erdogan. The complexity and uncertainty of this phenomenon require the use of specialized analysis methods: a system-structural analysis of the foreign policy of states (developed by the corresponding MGIMO school), a scientific approach within the framework of FPA (foreign policy analysis), separate tools for analyzing the strategic culture and foreign policy institutions of Ankara (according to the methodology of G. Almond and S. Verba). According to the author, for the current foreign policy of Ankara, the tradition of neo-Ottomanism is system-forming due to its ideological saturation of the initial ideological foundation. At the same time, the ambiguity of its interpretations lays down an expansive interpretation of Turkey’s foreign policy behavior in the international arena, which is fraught with problems and conflicts for Moscow’s foreign policy in realizing its interests in areas of international politics that cross Ankara.

Introduction: Optimal health depends on the intricate interplay of genetics, environment, and nutrition, encompassing aspects of physical, mental, and social well-being. This study rigorously assesses the dietary habits of final-year medical students during their internship, with a specific focus on understanding the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The overarching goal is to advocate for and contribute to the fostering of healthier lifestyles among medical students.Materials/Methods: This descriptive research aimed to survey the entire cohort comprising 200 final-year medical students enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine at a public university. Among them, 125 participants actively participated in the online dietary survey conducted from September to October 2020.Results: During their internship, most participants had two (35.2%) or three (48.8%) daily meals, often skipping breakfast (40.0%) due to lack of appetite or opportunities. Approximately 77% maintained underweight or normal weight. The majority (95.2%) lacked a specific dietary pattern. Protein and carbohydrates were favored (75.3% for females, 96.2% for males), with more females choosing fruits and vegetables.Conclusions: This study underscores the imperative for an all-encompassing nutrition education framework within medical student curricula. It unveils discernible variations in dietary practices, encompassing the consumption of nuts, sugary foods, energy drinks, and tea/coffee, stratified by gender and body mass index. Furthermore, the investigation establishes that exam preparation significantly influences dietary habits. Notably, independent living emerges as a pivotal factor shaping preferences for sugary foods.

Published: June 2024

Introduction and Objective. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) became recently a common problem among the population of highly developed countries. Most patients suffer from chronic abdominal pain and various bowel habit disorders. Although the pathogenesis of IBS was not yet entirely defined, intestinal dysbiosis is frequently mentioned as one of the most possible mechanisms. There may be a way to permanently cure IBS, by replacing patient’s dysbiotic intestinal microflora with a Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) from a healthy donor. The purpose of this paper is to present FMT as a method of IBS treatment.Review methods. Search using PubMed database using the combined keywords: "Irritable Bowel Syndrome", "Fecal Microbiota Transplantation", "Dysbiosis" "Intestinal Microbiota". An attempt was made to present a comprehensive state of knowledge while indicating areas that require further research. Brief description of the state of knowledge. Effectiveness of FMT in IBS has been clinically proven and seems to be donor-dependent. Superdonor’s microbiota profile has not been defined yet. FMT is gradually gaining popularity as new research appears confirming long-term effectiveness of the procedure.Summary. Research results are promising and it seems likely that FMT will be introduced as a treatment method routinely used in clinical practice. Differences in test results may be related to the use of material from various donors. It is important to establish the exact dosage, frequency of the procedure, criteria for selecting superdonors, and if material from more than one donor should be used, among other things.

Authors: Nowakowska Lena
Published: June 2024

The article gives a review of the Polish contemporary music for harpsichord and discusses its impact on the development of harpsichord technique. The author’s main objective was to present analyses of the most important phenomena in the context of performance‑ related issues, such as the use of a graphic score, aleatoric elements, sonorism, music performativity, or an electronic layer in the pieces dedicated to the instrument commonly associated with early music performance. The presentation of first experimental works of Roman Haubenstock‑Ramati and Bogusław Schaeffer is followed by a discussion on other pieces written by Polish composers, such as Zygmunt Krauze, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Jerzy Bauer, Andrzej Kwieciński, Paweł Mykietyn or Artur Zagajewski. Not only are works for harpsichord solo analysed, but also orchestral pieces with harpsichord in solo part, and chamber ones. The author raises the question of the role of those works for Polish music and emphasizes an increasingly growing interest in harpsichord, observable in the compositional output of young Polish composers in particular.

Authors: Chepkemoi Serem Ruth , Jagongo Dr. Ambrose
Published: June 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of economies worldwide, comprising over 90% of businesses and playing a pivotal role in employment and value addition, particularly in nonagricultural sectors. In Kenya, this sector has been instrumental in sustaining livelihoods for millions, spanning both formal and informal economies. Despite their significance, SMEs often grapple with limited access to credit, a challenge exacerbated by perceived riskiness from the banking sector, attributed to the inherent opacity of smaller enterprises compared to their larger counterparts. Interestingly, they emerge as crucial lifelines, especially for women-owned businesses, offering alternative avenues for capital accumulation. However, despite the acknowledged importance of SMEs, research on their growth hurdles yields conflicting results, underscoring the need for a nuanced understanding. Therefore, this study sought to establish the effect of The Role of Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCA’s) to the growth of women owned Micro small and medium enterprises (MSME’s) in Bomet County, Kenya. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The target population was 270 registered and active women owned Micro Small and Medium Enterprises and a sample size of 135 was used. The study used both semi-structured questionnaire and data collection sheet to collect data. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The findings from data analysis indicated that lending policies have no statistical significance effect on the growth of women owned businesses (p-value= 0.020 > 0.05). The findings from the testing of literacy level of members on growth women owned businesses indicated there there exists a positive effect (β = .895, p <.05). Guided by the findings a number of recommendations were made. Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCA’s) should devise strategies on how they can save some funds for investments in income generating projects, this way members can increase their income pool. Lastly, ROSCA’s should engage in training its members on financial management as it was noted to be a significant factor in influencing the growth of women owned Micro small and medium enterprises.

Authors: Prum Sokun , Sovang Dr. Long , Bunteng Dr. Long
Published: June 2024

The hospitality industry plays a crucial role in contributing the country’s economy growth and, meanwhile, customer loyalty is widely regarded as important driving force for the hotel success. This study intends to discover the direct and indirect impacts of service quality, hotel technology and price fairness on customer loyalty via customer satisfaction for hotels in Cambodia. The study applies a quantitative method and conducts a non-probability survey of 500 customers accommodated in hotels located in five different selected city/provinces in Cambodia. With utilization of SPSS Amos version 23, all data are analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that there are significantly positive relationships between service quality and price fairness on satisfaction as well as on customer loyalty, while price fairness acts as the most influencing factor and satisfaction itself has proven to be significant with customer loyalty. Furthermore, satisfaction partially mediates between service quality, price fairness and customer loyalty. However, hotel technology significantly influences on customer loyalty, yet does not on satisfaction. The research contributes to enriching the theoretical framework of customer loyalty in the hotel industry by its empirical insights. Practically, this study can assist hotel managers developing strategies for their customers retention by enhancing service quality, hotel technology and price fairness. Additionally, the government receives information from this study about the degree of customer loyalty in Cambodian hotels, which may be utilized to improve the government’s human capital training program and raise hotel performance.

Volleyball is a way of scoring points through attacks; if a team cannot get points through attacks, then the chance of getting points will be owned by the opponent because in volleyball games, the game stops based on points. This study aims to: 1) describe the implementation of volleyball service and smash assessments in schools, 2) develop an assessment model in schools, which includes model design, validity, reliability, and effectiveness, and 3) describe the characteristics of school assessments. This research is development research modified from Borg and Gall. The development of the volleyball skills assessment model uses a three-stage procedure: the development stage, validation stage, and dissemination stage. The results of this study are: 1) Implementation of volleyball service and smash assessments in schools based on the opinions of coaches has not used process performance assessments. 2) Service and smash volleyball assessment instrument model with content validity construct, Aken's value of 0.946, including very good, reliability with 6 raters, Genova value of the interrater coefficient of 0.836, and Cohen Kappa K's value of the interrater coefficient of 0.856, both of which meet Lin's reliability requirement of 0.70; and effectiveness based on the opinion of the trainers can be used to assess students in the training process. 3) Characteristics of volleyball sports skills assessment at school showed 31 athletes or 43% were stated to be very competent, 29 athletes or 40.3% were declared competent, 11 athletes or 15.3% were stated to be less competent, and 1 athlete or 1.4% was declared incompetent. The conclusion is that the effectiveness of the assessment of volleyball skills can be used for the assessment of students in the learning process.

Background. Body composition is an important component in maintaining overall health. In clinical practice and research investigations, the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method is frequently used for body composition assessment.
Aim. We investigated the within day (fasting state and after food) and between day (test retest) reliability and agreement of a new MC 780PMA multi frequency body composition analyzer (Tanita MC 780PMA, Japan) in measuring body mass index, body fat, fat free mass, total body water, intracellular water, extracellular water, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and skeletal muscle mass index in healthy young adults.
Material and methods. Thirty healthy individuals (age 23.33 ± 4.08 years, 60% women) body composition was assessed three times (before food (test 1), 30 minutes after food on the same day (test 2), and one week after (test 3)) using the Tanita multi frequency body composition analyzer MC 780PM by a qualified physiotherapist. Within and between reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC [3, 1]; two way mixed effects, consistency, single measurements, agreement). In addition, the standard errors of measurement and smallest real differences were calculated for between day measurements for the BIA parameters of interest.
Results. Good within day reliability was noted for body mass index (ICC = 0.881) and extracellular water (ICC = 0.850). Excellent within day reliability was noted for the remaining parameters (ICC > 0.900). Excellent between day reliability was noted for all the chosen BIA parameters (> 0.900).
Conclusion. BIA using the Tanita MC 780PM showed good to excellent within and between day reliability and low measurement errors when measuring before and/or after food intake in healthy adults. Future studies investigating the reliability of Tanita MC 780PMA in individuals with pathological conditions affecting body composition are warranted.

A business model is a strategic plan for creating, delivering, and retaining value, ensuring profitability and competitiveness. To thrive in a dynamic market, a company should harness its strengths and innovate its business model to address opportunities or challenges. Strong capabilities empower a firm to effectively implement business model innovation in response to market fluctuations. This quantitative study examines the role of a firm’s capabilities, which are dynamic capabilities and market orientation toward a business model innovation in Indonesia’s hotel industry after the pandemic. Inferential statistical analysis was conducted on two independent variables, dynamic capabilities, and market orientation, to examine their impacts on business model innovation as a dependent variable using Structural Equation Modelling with software Smart PLS 4. The samples included 492 general managers at three to five-star hotels in Indonesia who were used as respondents. They were selected using purposive sampling to examine two hypotheses. A five-point Likert-scale online questionnaire included thirty-two questions from seven dimensions covering two independent variables examined. The results of the T-test show that the firm’s capabilities, which are dynamic capabilities and market orientation, have significant effects independently on business model innovation, with each substantial value of p<0.05.  Dynamic capabilities affect business model innovation by 42.9%, followed by Market orientation, which contributes to business model innovation generation by 35%. Additionally, Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) identifies the practical contributions of firm capabilities, particularly highlighting the significance of proactive market orientation in influencing business model innovation.
