Modern approach to dual education in higher education institutions
Authors: Kovačević Branka
Published: October 2023

The issue of the dual education system at the institutions of higher education is the focus of the education policies of many countries. Education experts stress that the dual education system has been characterized as a successful and forward-looking model, which combines formal, university education and informal acquisition of applicable technical skills through student work on practical problems in companies. The paper aimed to analyze and review dual education models at the institutions of higher education in European countries (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), as well as the evolution of the dual education system at the universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and countries in the region. Germany, Austria, and Switzerland face challenges of how to attune the existing dual education models to EU recommendations for dual study programs, i.e. how to innovate the current programs based on the criteria for quality and efficient dual education. These countries still aim to promote their dual education model in the future, as well as support and help the countries interested in this model. On the other hand, the development of dual education in Bosnia and Herzegovina and countries in the region is rather slow. Of all the countries in this region, only The Republic of Serbia adopted the Law on the dual model of studies in higher education and launched two dual study programs. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are conflicting opinions about dual education. Some believe that dual education is the key to increased employment, while others warn that it significantly lowers the educational threshold and reduces the competencies of young people. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a complex analysis of the current situation at the institutions of higher education and to determine which areas allow the possibility of developing dual studies. The following steps concern the development of regulations for the creation of a dual education model by educational, social, and economic goals and needs, strengthening the capacity of higher education institutions, and involving social partners in the dual education decision-making process.

Thanksgiving Sacrifice
Authors: Nababan Sabar
Published: October 2023

The change in Christian dogma from the Old Testament, which used Burnt Offerings Sacrifices (BOS) and other sacrifices, to the New Testament which abandoned the BOS and other sacrifices, resulted in a reduction in the power of God Jahowa. The author proposes to God Jahowa that every Christian family carry out and must perform the Thanksgiving Sacrifice (TS) by sacrificing doves or kilos of fresh meat of a cow or sheep, at least once a year. God Jahowa stipulates that the sacrifice of a dove or fresh meat of a cow or sheep is a minimum of half a kg for one sacrifice. The time is independent of what date and what month of the year. According to God Jahowa, the results of the author's TS produce fragrant steam and cause them to grow stronger and agile. The benefits of TS were not only felt by God Jahowa, but also by God Jesus. If they inhale a full liter of TS vapor, they can endure not eating or drinking for ten years. TS is thanksgiving to God Jahowa and God Jesus. Money cannot increase God's power. For people who are able but do not carry out TS, they will sin but have little sin. For people who are unable, then they are not sinful. For people who carry out TS, they will be blessed. This TS has been inaugurated by God Jahowa as a new dogma for Christians which is implemented at least once a year.

Natural sources are considered as the potential source of antimicrobial agents. The study aimed to decrease the pungency or irritancy effects of the allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) contents present in the mustard oil after mixing it with natural phytochemicals such as menthol/thymol and to evaluate its effects as potential antimicrobials. Methods: The mustard oil was mixed with menthol, stirred for 12h and with thymol stirred for 7 days in the presence of triethylamine. The components were analysed for decrease in the allyl isothiocyanate contents by gas chromatography-flame ionisation detector (GC-FID). Results and Conclusions: The results showed 40% and 60% decrease in the allyl isothiocyanate content in mustard oil when mixed with menthol and thymol, respectively. In vitro antimicrobial experiments demonstrated that the tested bacterial species were highly susceptible to the mustard oil mixed with thymol or menthol as compared to the neat mustard oil except Klebsiella aerogenes. Mustard oil mixed with menthol (4.5 mg menthol/ 0.3 mL of mustard oil) exhibited the most potent antimicrobial activity as shown by zone of inhibition (in diameter). The most susceptible species was Bacillus subtilis (2 cm zone of inhibition as compared to neat mustard oil 1.2 cm).

Authors: S Surya , Suresh Priscilla
Published: October 2023

Urolithiasis is a serious health problem that affects 20% of populations between 20 and 50 years of age. Kidney stone otherwise known as urolithiasis is formed when chemicals gather over a nucleus which steadily takes the shape of the stone. Techniques used for removing kidney stones are connected with situations involving dangers like renal injury or occurring again, which point out an immediate need of other treatment choices. Plants can be used as an alternate remedy because it is an incredible reservoir of useful chemicals or active ingredients. In the present study, Alpinia zerumbet Pers. from Eastern Ghats of India was selected for antiurolithiatic potentials. This study was intended to evaluate the antiurolithiatic activity of Alpinia zerumbet and to investigate the histopathological effects on the kidneys of urolithiatic and treated rats. Wistar Albino female and male Rats were chosen for the study as urolithiasis models. Ethanolic extract of Alpinia zerumbet Rhizome was given as treatment to the animal models. Physical changes in experimental animals including weight and urine volume were monitored. Biochemical investigation regarding the presence of calcium, uric acid, phosphate and creatinine from urine samples collected from days 14 and 28 were carried out. It was observed that there was an increase in the weight of ethylene glycol-induced animals and a decrease in the weight of the drug-administered animals. Histological study showed the presence of increased calcium oxalate crystals in the ethylene glycol-induced rat models and decreased in rats treated with extract of Alpinia zerumbet Pers. A fraction from column chromatography was suspected to Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis which resulted in the indication of the presence of active metabolites in it.
Structural Elucidations of derivatized Sterols using Electrospray Ionization/Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization-Quadrupole Ion Trap-Mass spectrometry
Authors: A. Hailat Iyad.
Published: October 2023

Free sterols are neutral molecules that are difficult to ionize by Electrospray Ionization (ESI) or Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI). Therefore, in order to increase their ionization efficiency, sterols were converted into their corresponding picolinyl esters. In this study we examined the possibility of analyzing picolinyl ester of sterols derivatives using flow injection ESI-quadrupole ion trap (QIT) MS and APCI-QIT MS and we investigated their fragmentation pathways using low energy collision induced dissociation-tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS2). This study also aimed to examine the possibility of using ESI-QIT MS3 to identify sterol isomers. The picolinyl esters readily formed protonated molecular ions ([M+H]+) in ESI and APCI sources except for the picolinyl ester of 7-dehydrocholesterol which was detected as the radical cation ion [M].+ using APCI-QIT MS. The ester bonds of picolinyl esters cleaved during CID MS2, resulting in diagnostic fragments corresponding to steryl cation moieties [M+H-C6H5NO2]+. The CID MS3 of [M+H]+ → [M+H-C6H5NO2]+ of picolinyl esters was found to be useful for structural elucidation and for distinguishing among steryl isomers.

Currently, during the period of intensive development of scientific production, it is important to obtain phytopreparations from sources of raw materials of plant origin. The biological diversity of plants is amazing. The study of the composition of aquatic plants rich in active substances of biotechnological significance is currently an urgent problem. Biologically active substances are involved in various regenerative reactions and metabolic processes in the organism, being part of enzymes. Alkaloids are important nitrogenous compounds found in the plant and are widely used in medicine. The aim of the present study was to identify alkaloid compounds from the composition of the aquatic plant Pistia stratiotes, grown in a model experiment in laboratory conditions by highly effective liquid chromatography and determine the molecular structure by nuclear magnetic resonance. In addition, based on the molecular structure of alkaloid compounds found in the aquatic plant Pistia stratiotes, a study of the properties of pharmaceutical activity was conducted on the pharmaceutical site POM (Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration). According to the results of the study, 4 types of identified alkaloids were identified by the IR, 1H, 13C-NMR method. They: 1-Aza-10-methoxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroanthracene-9-O-b-D-glucopyranoside, 4,6-dimethoxy-8-prenyloxyfuroquinoline, 4,7-dimethoxy-6 - (3’ - methyl-3’ - methoxy-2 ' - oxy) butyl-oxifuroquinoline , 4,7-dimethoxy-6 - (3’ - methyl-2’ - oxy-3 ' - chlorine)butyloxifuroquinoline. As a result of the analysis of the identified POM alkaloids (Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration), predictions of antitumor activity were made. The presence of a (NHd+--- Od-) moiety indicates a potential antitumor pharmacophore site. The challenge is to verify our hypothesis experimentally and to confront virtual POM data and real anticancer screening.

This study investigates a new type of electrolyte based on deep eutectic solvents. Choline chloride based deep eutectic solvents were prepared and they were used as base ionic solvents for super dielectric theory. Deep eutectic solvent was mixed with a non-conducting material such as fumed silica, alumina. The mixture shows a super dielectric behavior which is used as electrolyte for electrochemical double layer capacitors also known as supercapacitors. The supercapacitor cells were composed of an electrode, a paper-based separator and this super dielectric electrolyte. The electrode of commercial standard supercapacitor is used first as an electrode. Second an electrode slurry was prepared in order to make custom electrode. Then the performance of both cells was investigated. The specific capacitances of cells were measured and the amount of increase at the capacitances was evaluated. The results showed that up to 14-fold increase of the specific capacitances of the commercial supercapacitor have been achieved. Also, up to 12-fold increase of the specific capacitances of our custom-made cells have been achieved. The charge-discharge characteristics and ESR values of the cells confirms that the cells show outperforming properties. Deep eutectic solvents based super dielectric electrolytes are very promising electrolytes for high energy density supercapacitors.

Altınapa Reservoir is a reservoir located on the Meram Stream in the Konya Province in Türkiye that supplies drinking water. The Altınapa Reservoir feeds the Konya Drinking Water Treatment Plant with 37.8 million m3 of water annually and the treated water is delivered by the drinking water network. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of agricultural activities and settlements on water quality in the Altınapa Reservoir Watershed. In the study, major water quality parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphorus, phosphate, and total suspended solids) and pesticides were monitored at four stations (K1, K2, K3, K4) on the sub-streams feeding reservoir. Major water quality parameters were monitored at monthly intervals for 12 months between June 2020 and May 2021, and pesticides were monitored seasonally at 4 seasons (Fall 2019, Winter 2020, Summer 2020, and Spring 2021). A correlation matrix was used to assess the connections between nine indicators of water quality. The annual average conductivity and pH values of the samples taken from four different stations of the Meram Stream were 432 µS/cm and 8.04, respectively. The highest value for total nitrogen was 10.73 mg/L and it was 0.87 mg/L for nitrate. Annual average total organic carbon values were determined as 1.35, 1.69, 1.51, and 1.46 mg/L at K1, K2, K3, and K4 stations, respectively. Specific UV absorbance indicated that organic matters of water are mostly hydrophilic and have low aromatic content. In seasonal pesticide monitoring, 71 different compounds were detected in water samples. The compounds whose concentrations exceeded Turkish Environmental Quality Standards were identified as DDD-op, DDE-p.p', diflufenican, and imidacloprid. Pesticides constitute most of the micropollutants detected in water samples. The highest positive correlation among water quality parameters was obtained between conductivity and nitrate (0.81) and total nitrogen (0.88).

Social media was created from two operating words - social and media. Social, in this context, means interaction between individuals who share the same interests, groups, or even communities. Media as the name suggests, is a medium, channel, or platform that enables the creation and exchange of user-generated content. Social media is less than two decades in existence but has become widely accepted. Building relationships and interactions is the main reason for the adoption of social media networks by individuals, however, organizations capitalize on the ubiquitous use of these sites and view them as platforms that directly interact with existing and new customers for their goods and services.

QİNG HANEDANI DÖNEMİ KAYNAKLARINDAN “QİNG HANEDANI’NIN HARAÇGÜZARLARININ RESİMLERİ” ALBÜMÜNDE KAZAKLAR VE KIRGIZLAR
Authors: KARA Gülnar
Published: October 2023

Çin’in komşu devletler ve Çinli olmayan halklarla ilişkileri kadim zamanlardan beri genel olarak Çin merkezli anlayışa göre şekillenmiştir. Bu anlayışa göre Çin imparatoru “Göğün Oğlu”ydu ve diğer tüm ülkeler doğal olarak ona tabiydi, yani tüm dünya Çin imparatorunun tebaası sayılıyordu. Çin ile ilişki kurmak isteyen dış ülkeler de “haraç veren tabi ülkeler” statüsünde sayılıyordu. Bu politika Çin’de hüküm sürmüş çeşitli hanedanlar döneminde yayınlanmış eserlere de yansımıştır. Bunlardan biri çalışmamıza konu olan Qing Hanedanı döneminde (1644-1911) yayınlanmış olan “Qing Hanedanı’nın Haraçgüzarlarının Resimleri” isimli albümdür. Bu eserde genel olarak Çin imparatorunun kendi tebaası olarak gördüğü çeşitli halkların liderleri ve temsilcilerinin kadın-erkek şeklinde eşleştirilmiş resimleri verilmiş, sonrasında o devlet veya halkın yaşadığı coğrafya, yaşam tarzı, giyim kuşamları, Qing Hanedanı ile ilişkileriyle ilgili kısa bir metin eklenmiştir. Ancak eserde tasvir edilen bazı tarihi bilgilerin Çin imparatorunun gönlünden çıkacak şekilde tek yönlü ve önyargılı verildiğinin altını çizmeliyiz. Dolayısıyla eserin bazı bölümlerinde Çin ile hiçbir teması olmayan ve muhtemelen Çinlilerin başka kaynaklar aracılığıyla tanıdıkları ülkeler de Çin imparatorunun “haraçgüzarları” olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Yani, albümün bir çeşit propaganda malzemesi olarak hazırlandığı açıkça görülmektedir. Dokuz bölümden oluşan bu albümün ikinci ve dokuzuncu bölümleri Türkistan halklarıyla ilgili bilgiler içermektedir. Tüm önyargılarına rağmen bu eser, Türkistan halklarının tarihi, etnografyası ve kültürünü incelemek için ilginç bir kaynak niteliğindedir. Bu çalışmada eserin Kazaklar ve Kırgızlarla ilgili kısımları başka kaynaklarla karşılaştırmak suretiyle irdelenmiştir.

Authors: Tkachenko Viacheslav
Published: October 2023

Recent years have witnessed a surge in the illegal circulation of medical drugs and substances in Ukraine, necessitating a comprehensive approach to their identification and analysis. This study delves into the forensic, pharmaceutical, chemical, and toxicological analyses of these substances, elucidating their origin, composition, and potential harm. Utilizing advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, the research provides an in-depth profile of commonly abused drugs and substances, many of which are cleverly disguised under seemingly benign nomenclatures. Forensic examinations highlighted the sophistication of counterfeit techniques that mimic legitimate pharmaceutical products, posing significant health risks to unsuspecting consumers. The toxicological assessments underscored the severe health implications associated with consumption, from acute poisoning to long-term physiological complications. This paper sheds light on the intricate nexus of illegal drug trafficking in Ukraine, emphasizing the urgency for robust pharmaceutical regulation, advanced forensic capabilities, and public awareness campaigns. Through its interdisciplinary approach, this research underscores the critical need for collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers to combat the escalating menace of illicit drugs and safeguard public health. Fatal cases due to poisoning by psychoactive substances of various classification and legal groups were systematized. Features of forensic and pharmaceutical, chemical and toxicological analysis were indicated. Attention was focused on the classification of means and substances according to the current legislation of Ukraine. The experience of the Department of Pharmacy of the Luhansk State Medical University in Rivne for the development of forensic and pharmaceutical, chemical and toxicological analysis in Ukraine was presented.

Authors: Lê Hoàng Vinh , Hoàng Ngọc Trang
Published: October 2023

Tiền và các khoản tương đương tiền là khoản mục tài sản đầu tiên trong bảng cân đối kế toán của các công ty và có tính thanh khoản cao nhất nhưng bị hạn chế về khả năng sinh lời. Vì vậy, mục tiêu của bài viết này là đánh giá sự kết hợp tiền với các khoản tương đương tiền dưới góc độ quản lý tài chính thông qua kiểm định tác động của nó đến hiệu quả quản lý tài chính đại diện bởi giá trị thị trường công ty. Mẫu nghiên cứu bao gồm 463 công ty phi tài chính niêm yết tại Việt Nam trong giai đoạn 2015-2022. Kết quả phân tích hồi quy chỉ ra rằng các khoản tương đương tiền càng nhiều trong lượng nắm giữ tiền và các khoản tương đương tiền góp phần tăng hiệu quả quản lý tài chính đại diện bởi chỉ số Tobin’s Q và tỷ số giá trị thị trường trên giá trị sổ sách của vốn chủ sở hữu và ngược lại. Kết quả này hàm ý rằng các công ty cần chú trọng xem xét sự kết hợp giữa tiền mặt và tiền gửi không kỳ hạn với các khoản tương đương tiền để cân đối mục tiêu thanh khoản và lợi nhuận. Ngoài ra, đây là bằng chứng thực nghiệm về khả năng áp dụng mô hình Baumol (1952), Miller và Orr (1966) trong quản lý tiền của các công ty phi tài chính.
