Authors: Lisnyak A. A. , Kulyk M. I.
Published: December 2024

Purpose To evaluate the quality of drinking water from various sources of water supply on the example of the Kyiv district of the city of Kharkiv.

Methods. Field (selection of water samples from various sources), laboratory-analytical analysis of water quality, statistical (processing of received data and comparative analysis).

Results. Water samples were taken from various sources of water supply: natural spring water, water from wells, from a well, from the city water supply and from drinking water dispensers. In the samples of artesian water of the "Roganska" trade mark (automatic water dispenser), no exceeding of the normative values ​​was determined for any indicator. Water samples from wells and centralized water supply have elevated levels of total hardness, chlorine, nitrate and iron content, which requires the restriction of their use as drinking water without additional treatment. Water samples from private wells have an increased level of general mineralization, salinity and electrical conductivity of water. Methods of purifying tap water from common salts at home were studied: water freezing, filtration, settling, boiling.

Conclusions. On the basis of organoleptic, physico-chemical and toxicological parameters of water quality, according to DSTU 4808, water from the machine of TM "Roganska" corresponds to the 1st quality class, spring water - 2nd class, water from wells - 3rd class, and water from a well and centralized water supply - 4th class. In order to improve the quality of tap water from common salts at home, freezing and filtration are recommended.

Authors: Juwariah Titik , Santoso Edi , Wahyuningsih Diyan , Jaroh Assolychatu
Published: December 2024

Lack of nutrition in pregnant women can cause abortion, low birth weight (LBW), premature birth, or even stillbirth during labor. Low levels of knowledge cause mothers to not understand how to fulfill the nutritional needs of pregnant women during their pregnancy. This activity aimed to increase pregnant women's knowledge of nutrition during pregnancy. The population was 10 pregnant women in the Pregnant Women's class in Kedungbanteng village. The method of the activity was to provide education through counseling, providing leaflets, and conducting pretest and posttest evaluations. The activity was carried out on Saturday, March 22, 2024, by a service team from Stikes Ganesha Husada Kediri. The results of the study showed that education for pregnant women increased knowledge about: Healthy eating patterns for pregnant women, benefits of healthy eating patterns for pregnant women, problems related to eating patterns for pregnant women, nutritional needs for pregnant women, signs and symptoms of malnutrition in pregnant women and the impact of nutritional status on the labor process. The result showed that before education, the number of pregnant women who had good knowledge was 3 people (30%), sufficient knowledge was 2 people (20%), and poor knowledge was 5 people (50%). After the intervention, the number of pregnant women who had good knowledge was 8 people (80%), sufficient knowledge was 1 person (10%) and poor knowledge was 1 person (10%). This revealed that education through pregnancy classes needs to be carried out and evaluated routinely by the midwife in charge, so that pregnant women have broad knowledge and insight and can make the right decisions in preparing for childbirth and the baby will be born healthy and safe as well as the mother healthy and safe without complications. The cadre mother should patiently provide assistance during pregnancy and childbirth.

Authors: Park Eunyoung , Seo Youngkyun , Han Seongjong , Cho Meangik
Published: December 2024

Ammonia is a zero-carbon fuel that has attracted considerable interest. The compound has high volumetric energy density and is easy to store and transport. Despite this, a proper study is necessary to ensure safety because ammonia fuel will likely be applied first to ammonia carriers. In this study, hazard identification (HAZID) was performed to identify the risk of the ammonia fuel supply system and preventive/mitigation measures were suggested to minimize the risk. The analyzed system scope was the ammonia fuel supply system from a fuel service tank on the deck to the front of the engine. The nodes with the most scenarios were the fuel service tank and the fuel supply line. The main factors included internal factors, such as design defects, malfunctions, and operational errors, and external factors, such as impact, thermal stress, hogging, and sagging. Recommendations are provided to reduce the risk of accident scenarios, including safety devices/alarm devices in process systems, system layout configurations, and heat and gas dispersion analysis. The results are expected to help predict/minimize damage regarding ammonia fuel supply system design, operational safety, and potential risks.
PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF THE SPECIAL WORKING CAPACITY OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS AT THE STAGE OF PREPARATION FOR HIGHER ACHIEVEMENTS
Authors: Diachenko Andrii , Wei Bin
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Physiological monitoring of the special working capacity of football players at the stage
of preparation for higher achievements (U19) is based on the assessment of anaerobic
lactate energy supply and its specific manifestations in the process of intense training and
competitive activities.
The aim of the study: based on the control of the power and capacity of lactate energy supply,
develop a monitoring system for the functional support of the special working capacity of
football players in the U19 age category.
Material and methods: system analysis of special literature, meta-analysis, monitoring of anaerobic
energy supply of special performance of football players, methods of mathematical
statistics.
Results. Specific components of lactate energy supply were identified. Anaerobic lactate power
characterizes the ability to mobilize glycolytic reactions. Potential lactate capacity
characterizes the ability to utilize glycolytic reserves. Special lactate capacity characterizes
the ability to rationally use anaerobic reserves under physiological stress close to the
playing activities of football players. Lactate blood concentration indicators are recorded
after the 1st–3rd cycles of the program as a result of performing the "test 30", "test 90",
and "CRS & IE test". Based on these, a specialized control focus was substantiated, and a
physiological monitoring system for the special working capacity of U19 football players
was developed.
Conclusions. . The specificity of the monitoring is based on the assessment of changes in biochemical
indicators of special working capacity, recorded under the conditions of implementing
indivisible training cycles – "load – recovery – adaptation" at the level of operational,
current, and stage management of the training process of U19 football players. A stable
trend of increasing lactate blood concentration indicators was noted in all tests throughout
the entire measurement period. Statistically significant differences in La were noted as a
result of the second preparation cycle in the "test 30" and "CRS & IE test". At the final stage
of the preparation program, the highest increase in the indicator was registered in the "test
30" (p <0.05), with a trend towards an increase in the indicator noted in the "test 90" and
"CRS & IE test".

Some notes for research apprentices on citation and reference lists in the dissemination of educational research results
Authors: Recio-Saucedo Michelle
Published: December 2024

New knowledge is generated at a rapid speed nowadays. It moves so fast that a research finding can become obsolete once it passes for all the different channels of dissemination, a conference, a publication in a journal with high impact factor, or a book from a prestigious publisher. The incorporation of new researchers in academia every  year, and the generation of new research has put on some pressure on the time authors spend reviewing texts, the time peer reviews dedicate to determine the academic paper suitability to be published, or the publishers time for copyediting and proofreading. Therefore, all the attention is directed towards a detailed review, the finding, the methodological rigor, the theoretical framework-which it is acceptable but it leaves little room for the form, use of language, and conventional means to disseminate scientific knowledge. The intention in these notes, especially for students who are pursuing research through a thesis (graduate or undergraduate), and research apprentices who collaborate as research assistants, is to find good reasons to write carefully and systematically the work they have in mind.

El abandono escolar, políticas públicas y trabajo de tutorías universitarias
Authors: Sesento García Leticia
Published: December 2024

En México, el abandono escolar es un tema de preocupación a nivel nacional, el estado de Michoacán, ocupa uno de los primeros lugares con esta problemática y no se ve clara la participación de los encargados en proporcionar solución a este problema. De ahí la necesidad que las escuelas lleven a cabo acciones tendientes a la disminución de esta problemática. A continuación se presenta una propuesta de intervención para disminuir el índice de deserción escolar, cuya finalidad es contraer las consecuencias negativas que producen este tipo de fenómenos educativos. El presente trabajo es una investigación de tipo cualitativa a partir de la investigación-acción. La exploración posee dos caminos sustanciales; la investigación y la descripción. Se sostiene que la problemática de la deserción escolar no atañe simplemente al profesor o a la escuela, sino que es un fenómeno social que implica a todos los actores del proceso pedagógico, y que en conjunto accede  a la comunidad educativa.

Authors: Montes Dorantes Pascual Noradino , Garza Ruiz Bertha Alicia , Méndez Gerardo Maximiliano
Published: December 2024

La falta de consenso que se encuentra en la definición de que es la organización, ha provocado que se establezcan conceptos desde diferentes perspectivas. El presente trabajo plantea una perspectiva desde las ciencias exactas, particularmente desde la inteligencia artificial, que permite que se puedan acoplar dentro de un mismo planteamiento los diferentes elementos como la parte lingüística, la parte numérica y la parte humana. En esta propuesta se presenta un concepto integral de la organización que permite la evaluación del proceso humano de manera más exacta y adecuada a las circunstancias actuales del entorno socioeconómico mundial.
Escenarios prospectivos de la universidad pública en México
Authors: Mendoza Valladares Jorge Luis
Published: December 2024

A partir de una metodología prospectiva, se dibujan cuatro escenarios futuribles de la universidad pública en México. Para ello, y a partir de la revisión de la literatura sobre los debates en cuanto al impacto del neoliberalismo en las universidades, se consideran a la misión social y a la autonomía universitaria como variables clave/motoras. Los resultados se discuten en el marco de los aportes sobre el cambio desde el enfoque institucional y del nuevo institucionalismo sociológico. Se concluye que las posibilidades de transitar hacia uno de los cuatro escenarios propuestos dependerán tanto de las condiciones endógenas a las organizaciones como del comportamiento de las condiciones exógenas asociadas a la dinámica político-económica.

Narrativas de intérpretes en lenguas indígenas sobre el racismo lingüístico y el acceso a la justicia en México
Authors: Santiago Martínez Silvia
Published: December 2024

En México, el racismo se reproduce de múltiples formas. Los pueblos y las comunidades indígenas cotidianamente enfrentan el racismo en los servicios públicos, por ejemplo, en el acceso a la justicia se expresa cuando las personas indígenas no son asistidas por intérpretes en su lengua (y variante lingüística) y cultura, como de actitudes discriminatorias que se reproducen en los procesos judiciales. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar las vivencias del racismo de intérpretes en lenguas indígenas a partir de su labor en el ámbito de la justicia. La metodología es cualitativa, basada en el método biográfico narrativo. A través de entrevistas se construyeron las narrativas. Los resultados de investigación muestran que el racismo es una de las violencias estructurales y sistémicas que oprime y excluye a las personas por su origen étnico, además, sus lenguas son minimizadas por cargas ideológicas relacionadas con la pobreza, el atraso y la ignorancia. El racismo, heredero de los discursos colonialistas, continúa marcando la clasificación social y la subordinación/dominación que legitiman espacios de poder y violencias lingüísticas/epistémicas. Frente al racismo, la praxis cotidiana de las y los intérpretes en lenguas indígenas es la lucha por los derechos lingüísticos y la dignidad humana.

Authors: Singh Shivendra , Kumari Priyanka
Published: December 2024

Services provided by microfinance institutions are becoming widely recognized as effective means of ending poverty and empowering women. Nonetheless, fewer women than men operate and handle businesses in many parts of the world. This research examines how agro-women's business growth in Bihar, India, is affected by microfinance services. A standardized five-point likert scale questionnaire was used to gather data from 240 respondents, SPSS 21 and AMOS 23 were used for analysis. In order to evaluate the concept validity and measurement reliability, confirmatory factor analysis was done. The theories on the impact of microfinance institutions on agro-women's entrepreneurial growth were formerly tested using a structural equation model. The study's findings revealed a positive and significant impact of access to finance, savings, and business support, although there is a need for improvement in skill development for agro-women entrepreneurs.
UNRAVELING THE ESSENCE OF MOTIVATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Authors: Khumukcham Bishwajit
Published: December 2024

The motivations behind foreign language acquisition vary greatly among individuals, ranging from practical considerations to personal affinities with the language and its culture. While language instructors often recognize the professional advantages of language proficiency, for many learners, language acquisition may primarily serve as a requisite academic pursuit. Effective learning necessitates both motivation and self-regulatory behaviors, where success is often driven by goal-oriented motivation. Thus, the efficacy of learning lies in identifying and implementing optimal approaches. A teacher's success hinges on a robust methodology coupled with motivational prowess, with a paramount responsibility to provide students with sufficient encouragement. Cognitive processes alone do not determine learning outcomes; motivational stimuli significantly influence receptiveness to new information. Acknowledging the diversity in learning styles, teachers must tailor their methods to accommodate varied modalities, ensuring all students are effectively engaged. Central to sustaining student interest and engagement is the teacher's ability to foster and maintain motivation throughout the learning process.

Authors: Kaya Ali Onur , Emre Mert Can , Calıs Ozer , Tozlu Ilhami , Mutlu Ibrahim Halil
Published: December 2024

Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants are extensively utilized in culinary and spice industries, rendering their cultivation pivotal in agricultural production. Enhancing their growth and yield is a critical research area for producers and horticulturists. Recent investigations have delved into the use of pulsed magnetic fields (PMFs) as a potential growth stimulant. Unlike static magnetic fields, PMFs are characterized by transient, high-intensity magnetic bursts, potentially eliciting varied responses in plants. To assess PMFs' impact on pepper plants, several experiments were setup comprising two solenoids, each wound around an 18-cm-diameter rigid plastic pipe but with differing coil turns, one with 40 and the other with 80 turns. These solenoids were utilized to generate PMFs at a frequency of 1 kHz with two intensities: 17 micro-Tesla (µT) and 34 µT. The pepper plants were situated within the PMF zone under controlled conditions, ensuring consistency in light, temperature, and moisture levels. The experimental design included three plant groups: a control group with no PMFs exposure except that of the Earth’s magnetic field, and two groups subjected to 17 µT and 34 µT PMFs intensities with Earth’s magnetic field, ranging between 25-65 µT. The treatment spanned 15 days, involving 6 hours of daily continuous exposure. Key growth indicators such as plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, and fresh and dry weights of both shoot and root systems were measured and analyzed. This analysis revealed significant increases in plant height, leaf area, and fresh and dry weights of the shoot, but not in root systems. Further research is warranted to deepen the understanding of PMFs' effects on pepper plants.

Background: Adverse drug reactions are defined as unexpected reactions, either derived from the pharmacokinetics of the treatment (Type A) or as a host immune response (Type B), resulting in harmful or undesirable manifestations in the patient following the administration of pharmacological therapy. Type B reactions are less defined and are considered a result of hypersensitivity to pharmacological treatment, categorized as immediate (within 1 to 6 hours after exposure) and delayed or non-immediate (occurring 6 hours after exposure).
Objective: A review to describe the immunological mechanisms of delayed hypersensitivity reactions to drugs. 
Methods: A search of major medical databases on delayed hypersensitivity reactions to drugs was conducted. The review was limited to articles published in the period between 2013 and 2023, taking into consideration articles written in English and Spanish.
Results: The terms defining delayed hypersensitivity reactions to drugs, their classification, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment algorithms, and prognosis.
Conclusion: Adverse drug reactions represent a challenge for the specialist physician, with a complex pathophysiology. A prompt diagnosis and treatment focused on the drug phenotype and its immunological expression are required to provide a multidisciplinary approach.
Keywords: Drug allergy; Hypersensitivity reactions to drugs; Adverse reactions to drugs; Delayed drug reactions.

In literature, magical realism is characterized by the presentation of an apparently real universe, in which events and characters may be plausible and credible from a psychological or social perspective, but where supernatural or fantastical elements intervene in the unfolding of the action, thus crafting a reality that includes elements of a nature different from the everyday. Specific to this modern literary genre, fantastical and fabulous events are integrated into a narrative that maintains a credible tone and an objective presentation of reality, aiming to reflect a tendency of the modern novel to transcend the limits of realism by mobilizing elements from fable, folklore, and mythology.
The action in works of this genre takes place within an ordinary, everyday spatial framework, and even at the heart of this normalcy, strange things occur that alter the mundane; nevertheless, supernatural events lack a realistic explanation. Space and time always exhibit a lack of uniformity, where real, ordinary occurrences follow a thread of inner consciousness, alternating premonitions and memories, drawing the attention of the narrator, characters, and readers.
In Lostrița, Vasile Voiculescu perfectly illustrates how the traits of magical realism, such as the distortion of space and time, as well as the multiplication of identity, are blended, adding the motif of the double to introduce fantastical elements into the reality, thereby giving them an apparent state of normality. By presenting fantastical events or characters as a credible part of reality, the author maintains the impression of the narrative’s veracity.
PERCEPTIONS OF PLACES IN MAGICAL-REALIST NOVELS

Our senses create a connection with the world, structure and define spaces. Perceptions help us give meaning and order to the world we live in. We perceive places subjectively (and even culturally and socially conditioned), visually, but also through their sounds, smells, tastes or textures. The present study, part of a larger project, stems from Paul Rodaway’s theory of perception, defined both as sensation or feeling, i.e. information collected and mediated by senses, and as cognition, i.e. mental process involving memories and associations. Understanding perception as information about the surrounding world mediated by senses, the paper focuses on the way writers use senses such as sight, smell, touch and hearing to build urban fictional worlds in three novels labelled as magical realist, namely Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981), Jeanette Winterson’s The Passion (1987) and Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus (1984). Another useful theory has been that of Kathy Mezei and Clara Briganti (2002), according to which spaces of domesticity shape the people who inhabit them, storing memories and setting the grid for their lives. The paper sets out to answer questions such as the following: how do the characters perceive the settings? How does the description of the different places where the novels unfold use sensory elements to introduce the reader to the atmosphere? Is the visual element predominant or do the authors also resort to the other senses? Are the senses used only in perceiving the external world or are they also used in rendering the inner worlds of the protagonists in the selected works? Are there moments in the text where senses are also connected to memories? Close reading of the texts generally reveals that the background places in which the novels unfold are most often perceived by the characters through sight, smell and hearing, and sometimes by touch, although this happens less frequently.
INTERVIEW/ DIALOG WITH RODICA GABRIELA CHIRA, TRANSLATOR OF THE BILINGUAL VOLUME DESPRE OAMENI ȘI COLIVII/ DES HOMMES ET DES CAGES

The interview with Rodica Gabriela Chira, Associate Professor at 1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, now retreated, translator of the bilingual volume Despre Oameni și Colivii/ Des Hommes et des Cages (Of men and cages, 2020) inscribes itself into a larger doctoral research focused on a psyco- and sociolinguistic perspective of the Covid-19 pandemic. The questions addressed by the interviewer refer to the historic of the volume, the working process, the quality of translator and traductologist, the steps followed in the elaboration of the volume, with the attention concentrated on answers capable of generating new questions. We thus discover that, through her professional activity, Rodica Gabriela Chira situates herself somewhere at the border between translator and traductologist, although this last quality is not justified by specialized books in the field of traductology. Stress is also put on the orientation of the poems included in the volume from a psycho- and sociolinguistic perspective: they belong to a culture of the present, dependent on circumstances, on the commonplace called the Covid-19 pandemic. The online interview was achieved on January 7, 2024, between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.
A JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA NO BRASIL COMO CAMINHO PARA A EFETIVA RESSOCIALIZAÇÃO DE INFRATORES E REDUÇÃO DA REINCIDÊNCIA: BARREIRAS, OPORTUNIDADES E DESAFIOS.
Authors:   , Almeida Isabelle de Freitas Ribeiro
Published: December 2024

A presente monografia tem por objetivo examinar a crise do sistema penal brasileiro, marcado por um modelo punitivo que enfrenta dificuldades em ressocializar e reintegrar os indivíduos à sociedade. A pesquisa analisa a origem e evolução da pena no Brasil, ressaltando os desafios do sistema prisional, como superlotação, condições desumanas e altas taxas de reincidência. A partir de uma análise aprofundada do perfil sociodemográfico da população carcerária, o estudo evidencia desigualdades raciais e etárias e destaca os principais tipos penais associados ao encarceramento. Em resposta aos problemas identificados, o trabalho explora a justiça restaurativa como uma alternativa ao modelo tradicional, abordando suas raízes históricas, o marco legal no Brasil e os desafios para sua implementação. A pesquisa conclui que a justiça restaurativa pode ser uma ferramenta valiosa para a redução da reincidência e promoção da ressocialização, proporcionando ao infrator uma oportunidade efetiva de reinserção social e contribuindo para a construção de um sistema penal mais equitativo e humanizado.
