Authors: Woo Seong-cheon , Lee Su-won , Park Yang-chun
Published: July 2023

Objective: This study was conducted to review the effects of herbal medicine on respiratory diseases induced by the treatment of particulate matter in in vivo animal models.Methods: Literature searches were performed in seven databases (Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, KISS, KTKP, OASIS, and ScienceON). After the searched studies were screened based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria, the publication date, origin, used animals, induction of particulate matter models, herbal medicine used for intervention, study design, outcome measure, and results of studies were analyzed.Results: Among a total of 972 studies primarily searched, 34 studies were finally included in our study. Of this number, 29 studies induced animal models by using only particulate matter, and 5 studies induced animal models with respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, by using particulate matter and other materials. In the selected studies, the treatments of herbal medicine in particulate matter models suppressed oxidative stress and inflammation in lung tissue, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and blood as well as lung injury in histological analysis.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that herbal medicine is effective in treating respiratory diseases induced by particulate matter. These results are also expected to be useful data for designing further studies. However, more systematically designed in vivo studies related to particulate matter are needed.

Objective: Meals are a consistent challenge to glycemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our objective was to assess the glycemic impact of meal anticipation within a fully automated insulin delivery (AID) system among adults with T1D.

Research Design and Methods: We report the results of a randomized-crossover clinical trial comparing three modalities of AID systems: hybrid closed-loop (HCL), full closed-loop (FCL), and full closed-loop with meal anticipation (FCL+). Modalities were tested during three supervised 24h admissions, where breakfast, lunch, and dinner were consumed per participant’s home schedule, at a fixed time, and 1.5h delayed, respectively. Primary outcome was the percent time-in-range 70-180mg/dL (TIR) during the breakfast post-prandial period for FCL+ vs. FCL. 

Results: Thirty-five adults with T1D (age 44.5±15.4y; HbA1c 6.7±0.9%; 23F/12M) were randomized. TIR for the 5h-period following breakfast was 75±23%, 58±21%, and 63±19%, for HCL, FCL, and FCL+ respectively, with no significant difference between FCL+ and FCL. For the 2h before dinner TBR was similar for FCL and FCL+. For the 5h-period following dinner TIR was similar for FCL+ and FCL (71±34% vs. 72±29%; p=1.0) while TBR was reduced in FCL+ (median: 0 [0-0]% vs. 0 [0-0.8]%;p=0.03). Overall, 24-h control for HCL, FCL and FCL+ was 86±10%, 77±11%, and 77±12%, respectively.

Conclusions: While postprandial control remained optimal with hybrid AID, both fully AID solutions offered overall TIR above 70% with similar or lower exposure to hypoglycemia. Anticipation did not significantly improve postprandial control in AID systems but also did not increase hypoglycemic risk when meals were delayed.

Published: July 2023

The article examines and groups the factors influencing the purchasing behavior of consumers: cultural factors, social, economic, personal, psychological, climatic, marketing, organizational, situational. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine restrictions on consumer behavior has been identified. The study found that for the optimal choice of an effective pricing strategy, the company needs to understand the relationship between price and consumer purchases, which is determined by the fact that in market relations, the price of goods is set as a result of mutual "pressure" of buyer and seller. The concept of marketing pricing policy of the enterprise is defined and the methods of marketing research of the price are divided into two groups: direct methods based on customer surveys (method of changing price sensitivity, "price ladder"method, test without comparison) and indirect methods of price research. which is a comprehensive assessment of price and non-price parameters of the product (joint analysis, consistent choice of price-product). The advantages and disadvantages of each method are identified. Using the method of changing price sensitivity (Van Westendorp model), which helps companies understand how consumers evaluate its product and determine the range of acceptable prices for consumers, a study of consumer price sensitivity to determine the range of reasonable prices for inverter air conditioners and determine the optimal price point, in which the least number of people neglect the product because of too high or too low a price.

It is proved that the definition and analysis of factors of consumer sensitivity to price parameters is an important aspect of marketing pricing, as the price of goods is determined not only by economic but also by psychological considerations of the consumer. This allows businesses to understand how customers evaluate its product and to determine the range of prices acceptable to the consumer. It is determined that with proper implementation, the Van Westendorp model can create successful pricing strategies for a wide range of consumer and business-oriented products, due to its relative simplicity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises launching new products or services.
APPROACHES TO JUSTIFICATION OF THE MARKETING COMPLEX BASED ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
Authors: Bincheva Polina
Published: July 2023

Introduction. In modern economic conditions, there is a need to form a positive attitude towards domestic products, convey to the consumer information about the benefits of consuming fresh fruits and berries, provide the population with natural fruits and berries, offer a diverse range of products, as well as the availability of products with added value. Domestic enterprises have every opportunity to meet such requirements, and the use of modern marketing approaches to the sale of products will help to increase their competitiveness both on the domestic and on any foreign market.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify the main approaches to justifying the marketing complex based on consumer behavior of domestic enterprises for fruit and berry growing.

Methods. The main method of research is the survey of certain segmental groups of the population regarding their attitude towards domestic producers of fruit and vegetable products. Respondents have been asked a communicative question in order to establish contact and draw attention to the main problems associated with the purchase of fruits and berries.

Conclusion. In order to stimulate online ordering, it is necessary to coordinate the research on the importance of fruits and vegetables in children diet. Summing up, we can say that today consumers do not have much experience in buying fruits and berries online. However, they pay attention to the information presented on the package, are ready to pay additional money for services, including product delivery, and are looking for ecological, safe natural fruits and berries of a domestic producer. At the same time, the development of Internet technologies and active spending of time in social networks provide an opportunity for enterprises to occupy a free niche of online sales.

Translating British Culture to Kurdish Immigrants: Domestication or Foreignization?
Authors:   Department of English, College of Languages, University of Human Development, Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region – F.R. Iraq, Rasul Sabir
Published: July 2023

Translating culturally specific terms and expressions is often perceived as a challenging practice. This paper explores translating English cultural terms to Kurdish immigrants in the context of the UK public services. The UK government provides information related to public services in different languages for different immigrant communities living in the UK. The information can be in the form of reports, leaflets, brochures, etc., which are produced in different settings such as courts, local councils, hospitals, and so on. Dozens of English-Kurdish translators render such materials to members of the Kurdish community who do not have a good command of English. Following Venuti’s (1995/2008) theory of domestication and foreignization, the paper attempts to identify whether translators adopt a domesticating or a foreignizing strategy when rendering cultural terms found in UK public service materials from English into Kurdish (Sorani). The results reveal that translators use a mixture of both strategies; however, they opt for domestication in the majority of instances. The results also show a lack of consistency in implementing cultural translation procedures among the translators, which points to a need for translation training courses that offer guidelines regarding consistent use of terminology in translating culturally specific terms from English into Kurdish.

The problem of recycling secondary raw materials remains unresolved, despite many years of work on this issue. Among the many obstacles that arise is also the difficulty of sorting individual waste fractions. To facilitate this task and help solve this problem, modern computer vision and artificial intelligence techniques can be used. In our work, we propose constructing an intelligent garbage bin containing a camera and a microcomputer along with software that uses these techniques to sort waste. The role of the software is to recognize the type of waste and assign it to one of five main categories: paper, plastic, metal, glass and cardboard. The proposed method uses image recognition techniques with a convolutional neural network. The results confirm that using artificial intelligence methods significantly helps in sorting waste. The proposed solution can be used in homes and public places such as parks, cinemas or playgrounds.
Polychromatism of all light waves: new approach to the analysis of the physical and perceptive color aspects
Authors:   tab edizioni, Viale Manzoni 24c, 00185, Rome, Italy, Niewiadomska-Kaplar Justyna
Published: July 2023

Research on light vision mechanisms in biosystems and on the mechanisms of formation of deficits in color discrimination[1] reveals that not only white light is polychromatic but all light waves are. The spectrum of white light is composed of aggregations of only 4 monochromatic waves: magenta UV 384 nm, cyan 432 nm, yellow 576 nm and magenta IR 768 nm, grouped in 5 bi-chromatic waves: cinnabar red (magenta IR + yellow), green (yellow + cyan), indigo (cyan + magenta UV) and also two semi-bright bi-chromatic waves - porphyry IR (semi-infrared wave composed of the magenta IR 768 nm wave and the colorless infrared wave 864 nm) and porphyry UV (semi-ultraviolet wave composed of the magenta UV 384 nm wave and the colorless ultraviolet wave 288 nm). The light waves thus composed create the light sensations due to the mechanism of additive synthesis. The method allows a new approach to interpret the composition of the bright waves, the phenomenon of decomposition of colours and additive synthesis that constitutes the principle of colour production in computers. The new elaborate models of colour physics also constitute the basis by interpretation of the mechanisms of vision of colours.

Scriabin and Kodály in the Reading of Antal Molnár, Imre Molnár and Emil Haraszti
Authors:   Associate professor PhD, Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest, Hungary. Email: windhager.akos@btk.ppke.hu., Windhager Ákos
Published: July 2023

"This study examines how Kodály, his student Antal Molnár and his colleague Imre Molnár, and their adversary Emil Haraszti saw Scriabin’s music throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Audiences were responsive, as seen by the continuous performance of his works by Hungarian and international musicians beginning in 1906. There was a great deal of curiosity in his orchestral pieces, but only four of them were played ten times throughout the course of a century. Rêverie and Le Poème Divin debuted in Budapest in 1910, followed by Le Poème de l’extase in 1919, although Prometheus did not make its appearance until 2001. Kodály found his music peculiar and disinteresting, judging it to be a poorer disciple of Richard Strauss and Claude Debussy. However, following the composer’s death, his pupils discovered new values in him, characterizing him as mythical (like A. Molnár A.) and mystical (like I. Molnár). And Haraszti thought it was excellent music. A different interpretation referred to Scriabin as the ""Russian Bartók."" He was regarded as ""one of the most inventive experimenters of his time,"" which was a mixed acclaim. After 1945, newspapers mostly complimented his piano pieces and symphony conductors. Marxist aesthetes after 1949 saw his work as a failure due to his spiritual goals, which A. Molnár regarded as a distinctive value. Two pioneering conductors, who considered Kodály their distant teacher, Z. Kocsis and A. Ertüngealp, gave the first performances of his hitherto unperformed pieces after 1990. Keywords: Kodaly, Scriabin, Antal Molnár, Imre Molnár, Emil Haraszti, impressionism, ecstasy"

The world does not know the word stop, he continues to move in the process of becoming. Nature with everything in it is constantly changing with a series of events continuously in the form of directed and integrated changes. The whole physical, psychic, and imaginary world always moves horizontally until the archetypes are motionless and radiant, always in motion and becoming. In educational thought, the consequence of the law of becoming is the birth of a variety of philosophical thoughts in education as a development of dialectical-dialogical thinking in answering various problems in the educational area which is recognized as very broad and complex. The name Muhammad Iqbal, a thinker in the Islamic world who is concerned with the development of education who has a dynamic view by assuming that the world he lives in never stops with advancing towards its perfection. A creative and dynamic world view that refers to metaphysical, ethical and epistemological reflections can be realized through education. By referring to metaphysical reflection, the philosophical thought of education reaches the peak of its goal, namely to make students become human beings with a pattern of piety, namely the unity of the body and spirit, or the term Iqbal is a true believer. True believers are hope, work, improvement and formation, peace and harmony, not weak because of obstacles and not shunning difficulties. True believers make the attributes of God inherently in themselves. With that he was able to become a representative of God (caliph on earth).

Представлены результаты экспериментального исследования сверхзвукового течения газа в осесимметричных каналах с образованием псевдоскачка. Выполнена серия экспериментов по исследованию процесса торможения сверхзвукового потока в коротком и длинном каналах ( L/D = 32 и 64). Данные, полученные для короткого канала, согласуются с данными, известными из литературы. Образование псевдоскачка происходит за счет повышения давления на выходе из канала. В то же время показано, что в длинных каналах образование псевдоскачка может происходить даже при отсутствии противодавления на выходе из канала. Как для короткого, так и для длинного канала изменение величины противодавления изменяет положение псевдоскачка по длине канала.

Language phenomena related to the use of impoliteness strategies are always associated with efforts to do FTA. This study aims to find out the role of context theory (power, distance, and rank of imposition) in various language impoliteness strategies in Sukoharjo traditional markets. This pragmatic research by reviewing three dimensions of context is descriptive qualitative research. The data are in form of direct speech between sellers and buyers which accommodate impolite strategies in Javanese regarding overall market situation including transaction and non-transaction activities. The results of this study are the level of power based on social status and class, speech situations role, age, gender, and physical strength. All of these parts affect the power that speakers have based on the context of speech event. The imposition rank found in the buyer's strategies because more buyers have a positive desire to interact and transact in language situations. These three major context factors greatly influence the appearance of data on the use of impolite strategies in speech situations in the Sukoharjo traditional market.Keywords: Impoliteness act, power, distance, imposition rank, traditional market

Changes in Cord Arterial Blood Gas Parameters by the Onset of Spontaneous Respiration during Delayed Cord Clamping
Authors: Koh Ji Hye , Kim Hyo-Eun , Choi Suhyoon , Ahn Jun-Woo
Published: July 2023

Background: The initiation of crying is an easy way to evaluate neonatal condition. Doubt arises about a neonate’s condition if the initiation of crying occurs late during delayed cord clamping (DCC). This study aimed to detect any difference in cord arterial blood gas (cABG) parameters depending on when spontaneous respiration (SR) started during DCC in a cesarean section. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed cABG results in relation to SR start time during DCC. The study included full-term (n = 41) and preterm (n = 17) neonates who were born by cesarean section with DCC. If the neonate cried within 60 s of DCC, the crying start time was considered as the time of the first SR. The cABG results of the preterm and full-term neonates were then examined. Each group was further divided into groups of 5, 10, and 30 s according to time-to-SR onset (time-to-SR). Subsequently, the cABG results were analyzed between these time-to-SR subgroups. The Mann–Whitney test was used for the comparisons, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The time-to-SR was not significantly different in the preterm and full-term neonates. In preterm neonates, no significant difference was observed in any cABG parameter. In full-term neonates, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was significantly higher in the time-to-SR (T) ≥5 s (T ≥5 s) subgroup than in the T <5 s subgroup (p < 0.05), and bicarbonate and PaCO2 were both significantly higher in the T ≥10 s subgroup than in the T <10 s subgroup (p < 0.05). Conclusions: All neonates had normal cABG results regardless of the SR start time. However, given the small number of cases and limitations of this study, we cautiously suggest that maintaining DCC in cesarean deliveries may be considered, even when the start of crying is delayed. Especially, in preterm neonates with immature gas exchange mechanisms, the decision to maintain DCC must be carefully considered.
Screening Serum Biomarkers for Rats Preconditioned with Hyperbaric Oxygen: Potential of Predicting Prognosis for Stroke

Published: July 2023

Background: Stroke is a major health concern and a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. We and other groups have documented that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning could significantly alleviate neuronal damage in ischemia‒reperfusion models through various mechanisms. However, we found that some of the subjects did not benefit from preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen. The preconditioning phenomenon is similar to vaccination, in which the endogenous survival system is activated to fight against further injuries. However, with vaccine inoculations, we could test for specific antibodies against the pathogens to determine if the vaccination was successful. Likewise, this experiment was carried out to explore a biomarker that can reveal the effectiveness of the preconditioning before neuronal injury occurs. Methods: Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was used to induce focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. 2D-DIGE-MALDI-TOF-MS/MS proteomic technique was employed to screen the differentially expressed proteins in the serum of rats among the control (Con) group (MCAO model without hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning), hyperbaric oxygen protective (HBOP) group (in which the infarct volume decreased after HBO preconditioning vs. Con), and hyperbaric oxygen nonprotective (HBOU) group (in which the infarct volume remained the same or even larger after HBO preconditioning vs. Con). Candidate biomarkers were confirmed by western blot and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the relationship between the biomarkers and the prognosis of cerebral injury was further validated. Results: Among the 15 differentially expressed protein spots detected in the HBOP group by Two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), 3 spots corresponding to 3 different proteins (haptoglobin, serum albumin, and haemopexin) products were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS/MS. Serum albumin and haemopexin were upregulated, and haptoglobin was downregulated in the HBOP group (p < 0.05 vs. Con and HBOU groups). After the western blot study, only the changes in haemopexin were validated and exhibited similar changes in subjects from the HBOP group in accordance with MALDI-TOF-MS/MS proteomic analysis and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. The serum level of the hemopexin (HPX) at 2 h after HBO preconditioning was correlated with the infarct volume ratio after MCAO. Conclusions: Haemopexin may be developed as a predictive biomarker that indicated the effectiveness of a preconditioning strategy against cerebral ischaemic injury.

In recent research, it has been found that an enormous amount of the population is involved in agriculture. The farmers are increasingly exposed to income risks from the effects of volatility in many factors directly or indirectly related to farming. The prediction of the farmer’s income can be used to manage the income risks by assisting the farmer. This paper proposes an ARIMA-based framework to forecast the income from a crop for the next consecutive years. A detailed analysis of the proposed work on best suitable ARIMA framework is discussed. It is shown that the proposed work obtains a higher accuracy in predicting the income in future over other alternative methods

Authors: Daud Mahyuddin , Mat Isa Norlaili
Published: July 2023

A healthy community requires the fulfilment of basic needs, such as accommodation, food, financial, environmental sustainability, and social justice. In this regard, the Malaysian Government launched the National Community Policy, among others, to promote access to a healthy lifestyle. Despite the existence of such a policy, there exists issues and challenges in providing adequate housing in Malaysia, which affects access to a healthy lifestyle in the community. Literature and content research on different platforms from previous reports, articles and mass media provide an overview of the need for sports community policy as a sustainable development objective for affordable housing programmes. The research will be restricted to the international and local policies applicable in recognising the right to a healthy community. This paper concludes that sports facilities should be assimilated into affordable housing programmes in fostering sustainability.
THE ISLAMIC LEGAL SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA: CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES
Authors: Haji Mohd Na'im bin Hj Mokhtar  , Hanifah Haydar Ali Tajuddin
Published: July 2023

It is established that Islam has played a crucial role in the development of Tanah Melayu as evidenced by its progression from a small village to a bustling trade hub in the Nusantara, and ultimately to a fully-fledged nation. Being an all-encompassing religion, Islam came not only as a belief system; it has as well brought positive changes and order in the political, economic and social aspects of Tanah Melayu. In the legal aspect, though Islamic law was used to adjudicate civil and criminal matters at first, the coming of the colonists suppressed its usage and the Common Law was instead, enforced. However, approaching the independence of Tanah Melayu, efforts of the Muslim intellects and reformists have managed to secure the position of Islam in the Federal Constitution. Today, though Islamic law is ensured with exclusive jurisdiction and recognition, its institutions strive to stay pertinent. Coordinating the law at the federal level remains a challenge especially that involving the inheriten power of states over Islam and its law. By using the qualitative method of research methodology, the paper analyses primary and secondary data descriptively by looking into the legal history and development of Islamic law until today. It is found that although Islam and its law are sourced from the supreme law in the country, it has to constantly overcome its challenges to remain relevant and significant. Thus, the paper seeks to look into challenges in administering Islamic law and its institutions. It also suggests some practical strategies toward a standardised and exclusive Islamic legal system in Malaysia.
Physiological and biochemical aspects of the carp organism in conditions of increasing their viability when stocking water bodies

Published: July 2023

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the defining role of the stage of early development in the ontogenesis of young fish in the formation of their growth rate potential. The physiological and biochemical status of the body determines the adaptive capabilities of hydrobionts, so the use of biologically active substances when rearing fish was chosen as one of the vectors for improving the development parameters. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of introducing technological elements (supplementary feeding, rearing) in the early stages of the ontogenesis of young fish. The study was based on theoretical (analysis, synthesis, comparison, modelling), experimental, and laboratory methods adopted in fisheries, physicochemical studies. A clinical examination of fish, monitoring of growth rates, weight gain, survival rate, and physiological state was carried out. The results show an increase in the viability of young fish, activation of metabolic processes, and improvement of blood morphological and functional parameters. The average weight of fingerlings exceeded the parameters in the control group for carp by 3.5% and for silver carp by 3.8%. The total number of red blood cells in the silver carp experimental group was 7.4% higher than the control (p < 0.05), haemoglobin content – by 4.7%, haematocrit – 9.9%. The total number of red blood cells in the blood of carp in the experimental group was 4.9% higher, and the haemoglobin content was 3.1% higher than in the control group. In the experimental group, the total protein content exceeded the value in relation to the control group for silver carp by 15.9% (p < 0.05), and for carp – by 23.9% (p < 0.01). Enzymatic activity in the experimental group was higher compared to the control group. The proposed method of feeding helps increase the growth rate of fish. The practical value of the study is to help improve qualitative and quantitative parameters, in particular, the biochemical composition of the muscle part for carp and silver carp in samples in the experimental group in comparison with control values

Published: July 2023

This study focuses on the use of an optimum amount of Sodium Polyacrylate (SP) for designing cement slurry with the high performance of rheological properties and displacement efficiency. A laboratory study has been carried out on the cement slurry which prepared with SP as superabsorbent polymer. SP has been providing an internal water source that helps in the hydration process, and curing and ultimately increases the cement strength. Also improves the cement performance by improving the cement stability. Several batches were prepared to determine the proper amount of SP to add it in the cement slurry. Also, we studied its effect on cement density, amount of free water in order to observe the rheological properties, and thickening time. Results indicate that the designed cement rheological properties are directly influenced by the shear rate and shear stress on the mix and pump of the cement with the increase of the SP concentration for the rheological improvement. Laboratory data are presented to highlight Polyacrylate’s positive effect on compressive strength, fluid loss control, and free water.

Authors: Abdul Majeed Basma A. , Zubaidy Maitham Adham
Published: July 2023

In this work, electrodialysis (ED) has been demonstrated to be appropriate technique for reducing the electrical conductivity of real wastewater from fuel washing unit, which has been previously treated by other electrochemical technology (electrocoagulation and electrooxidation).  A five cell electrodialysis stack, with an active membrane area of 60 cm2 per cell was employed. During a batch recirculation mode ED system, the effects of parameters such as electrical potential applied (6-18 V) and flow rate of streams (0.5-1.7 L/min.) on the performance of the total dissolved solids (TDS) separation and specific power consumption (SPC) were studied. The results indicate that the process of ED under potential (15 V) and flow rate (1.4 L/min) are recommended as operation conditions. The removal of TDS achieved was about 95% throughout (80 min.) time of electrodialysis and (1.72 kWh/m3) of SPC. Moreover, SPC increased with an increase in the applied potential of ED stack, while it was not intensely responsive to the change in the flow rate.
