Authors: Pasaribu Arsen Nahum , Pasaribu Tiara Kristina , Siahaan Restu Berkah , Sitompul Dewi Sartika
Published: July 2024

This research aims to examine the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL students in academic writing, specifically the errors they made while writing scholarship application essays. The study focused on identifying syntactical and morphological errors and understanding their sources and reasons. The data consisted of 20 essays from third-semester students in an academic writing course at a private Indonesian university. Two English language lecturers reviewed the essays twice to identify the errors. The findings revealed that syntactic errors were the most common, with 132 instances (61.69%), followed by punctuation and capitalization errors with 50 instances (23.37%), and morphological errors were the least frequent with 32 instances (14.94%). Interlingual, or native language interference, was found to be the primary source of these errors. The main factor of making errors is the lack of previous experience and knowledge about the conventions of academic writing and the expectations of the institution they are studying at. This study offers teaching recommendations for EFL teachers, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact of learners' native language besides providing appropriate grammar instruction as the key to effective teaching for ESL teachers.

Formation of Approaches to Determining the Social Effectiveness of Scientific Activity of Libraries
Authors: Firsov Vladimir R. , Lodygina Polina A.
Published: July 2024

The problem of evaluating the effectiveness of scientific activity as applied to the humanitarian and library sphere is analyzed. Research conducted in libraries contributes to the development of libraries themselves, as well as to the study and disclosure of cultural heritage. The question of the effectiveness of the conducted research is of fundamental importance. An analysis of the evolution of approaches to the evaluation of effectiveness is presented. In the last quarter of the 20th century, the fundamental principle of scientific policy was the position “science is the direct productive force of society”, which focused on the implementation of the findings of research activities and the formation of ideas about the mandatory material form of the results. This attitude is not applicable in the social sciences and humanities. In the Soviet period, the task of practical connection of science with production for a long time established the position that any scientific result should be practically tangible and economically effective, and every research should end with a document containing certain conclusions and a list of measures, or with an act on the implementation of research results.

Currently, to assess not only the performance of individual scientists and organizations, but also in the formation of public science policy, the use of scientometric methods — quantitative measurements of information characteristics of published results of scientific work — is widely used. However, the scientometric approach continues to be debated.

In the last decade the theoretical problem of social effectiveness of science, which, unlike economic, is not direct and specific and difficult to measure, has been increasingly discussed. Research conducted in the field of scientific support of library development has been proven to have a pronounced impact on library work (e. g., in the form of developed concepts, strategies, programs, etc.). Research of historical and cultural character influences the formation of public and individual consciousness, value system and contributes to the solution of the most important strategic state tasks.

Determining the social effectiveness of research activities of libraries is becoming increasingly important.
Library of the Auditorium of Military Affairs in 1918—1921: History and Development of the Holding
Authors: Petrova Nadezhda Yu.
Published: July 2024

The solution of urgent tasks to develop modern approaches to the organization of military libraries functioning is impossible without using the existing achievements in the field of military librarianship. Retrospective analysis of the work of the Information Historical and Scientific Center — Military Historical Library of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (IHSC — MHL GS AF RF) in the Soviet period can be used to improve the work of Russian military libraries at the present stage.

Due to the lack of comprehensive studies on the history of the IHSC — MHL GS AF RF in the first years of Soviet power, this article attempts to fill this gap, in particular, to establish the sources of formation of the collection of the library, which changed its name. The aim of the study is to reconstruct the history of creation and formation of one of such sources — the library of the Auditorium of Military Affairs (later — the Department of Universal Military Training at the headquarters of the Petrograd District Commissariat for Military Affairs) in the context of the construction of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army (WPRA) in 1918—1921, as well as to analyze the dynamics of the library holding.

The relevance of the issue under study is conditioned, on the one hand, by its insufficient research, and on the other hand, by the demand for the historical experience of military libraries to develop principled approaches to their reform. The source base of the research is represented by the materials of Russian archives (the Russian State Military Archive, the Central State Archive of Literature and Art of St. Petersburg, the Current Archive of the IHSC — MHL GS AF RF), documents of the main and central bodies of military administration of the RSFSR, publications in the periodical press.

The research has broadened the understanding of the fate of military book collections of the Russian Empire after its collapse and the initial stage of formation of military librarianship in Soviet Russia. The fate of some nationalized book collections before they were added to the holding of the library of the Auditorium of Military Affairs has been established. The documents revealing the main directions of the library’s activity have been introduced into scientific turnover; its organizational and staff structure has been analyzed; the interrelation of the library’s history with the history of the Red Army in the first years of Soviet power has been traced. The results obtained show that the impressive book collection accumulated by the library of the Auditorium of Military Affairs is now a part of the holding of the IHSC — MHL GS AF RF.
Personal Libraries in Russia: Research Results
Authors: Moreva Olga V.
Published: July 2024

The study of personal libraries is important for understanding socio-cultural processes that cannot be assessed by examining other historical events, phenomena and facts. The article deals with the monograph by O.N. Ilyina “Personal Libraries in Russia: Terminology and Historiography” (St. Petersburg, 2022), published in the series “The Book in Russia in the 19th — early 20th Century” by the Russian National Library and the winner of the All-Russian competition of scientific works on library science, bibliography and book studies in the nomination “The best scientific work in the field of library science” in 2023. The structure of the historical and book studies edition, the content of the chapters and the peculiarities of the author’s approach to the coverage of historiography, as well as the stages of the formation of terminology for the study of personal libraries in the domestic humanitarian knowledge in the second half of the 18th — early 21st century are characterized. The emphasis is made on the artificiality of the division of periods in the study of personal libraries in 1917, noted by O.N. Ilyina, because up to the end of the 1920s, book historians, whose professional career began before the October events of 1917, continued to carry out active research activities. This idea is confirmed by contemporary works devoted to the life and work of book historians and bibliographers born in the second half of the 19th century. Special attention is paid to the terminology for describing the history of book collections as a whole (and the collections within them), as well as book marks and marginalia in individual copies. A number of remarks on the design of the reference apparatus of the edition and the rubrication of the text are made, which, however, do not prevent interested readers. The quality, relevance and scientific novelty of the monograph are noted.

Authors: Артыкбаев Ж.О.
Published: July 2024

Статья посвящена анализу языческого понятия «Бап Тенгри» (Бапъ Таңара) в сакральной культуре народов Центральной Азии. Эта тема в этнографической науке рассматривается впервые и представляет большой интерес для специалистов в области языческих практик и понятий. Цель данной работы – сбор, систематизация и анализ историко-этнографических, а также лингвистических материалов, касающихся древнего сакрального понятия «Бап Тенгри (Бап Таңара)». Данное понятие сохранилось в обозначении сакральных памятников казахов, хотя в мировоззренческой системе современных казахов оно фактически отсутствует. Есть также определенные производные от этого понятия с соответствующими дефинициями, например, в казахском языке в активном употреблении имеется слово «бап» (в значении «закон, уложение»). Более основательная информация об этом понятии сохранилась в языке саха, она сконцентрирована в «Словаре якутского языка», составленном в конце ХІХ – начале ХХ вв. Э.К. Пекарским.

The article is about analysing the pagan concept of “Bap Tengri” (Bap Tanara) in the sacral culture of the Central Asia peoples. This topic is scientifically reviewed for the first time in ethnographic science and has great interest for specialists in the field of pagan practices and concepts. The aim of this article is to collect, systematization and analyze historical, ethnographic and linguistic materials concerning the ancient sacral concept of “Bap Tengri” (Bap Tanara). This concept has been preserved in the designation of sacred monuments of Kazakhs, although in the worldview system of modern Kazakhs this concept is actually missing. There are also certain derivatives of this concept, with suitable definitions. For example, in the Kazakh language, in modern times, the word “bap” (meaning law, ordinance) is in active use. More thorough information about this word is preserved in the Sakha language, which is concentrated in the “Dictionary of the Yakut Language”, prepared in the late 19th – early 20th centuries by E.К. Pekarsky.

Published: July 2024

Статья посвящена истории создания и функционирования электрической станции Училищного Совета при Святейшем Синоде. Эта станция работала в период с 1900 по 1922 гг. Ее значение для истории теплоэнергетики состоит в том, что на ней в 1913 г. было произведено весьма эффективное и передовое переустройство систем отопления и вентиляции. Для их работы был использован выхлопной пар паровых машин. Кроме того, в этих системах была применена насосная циркуляция водяного теплоносителя, что было в то время еще редкостью. В статье рассмотрены организационные подробности этого процесса. Приведены принципиальные тепловые схемы системы теплоснабжения до и после переустройства. Определены роли основных участников этого процесса гражданского инженера А.К. Павловского, инженера-механика М.М. Курбанова, инженера С.Ю. Корсака.

The article is devoted to the history of the creation and functioning of the electric station of the School Council under the Holy Synod. This station operated in the period from 1900 to 1922. Its significance for the history of thermal power engineering is that in 1913, a very effective and advanced reconstruction of the heating and ventilation system was carried out on it. For their work, the exhaust steam of steam engines was used. In addition, pumping circulation of a water coolant was used in these systems, which was still a rarity at that time. The article discusses the organizational details of this process. The basic thermal schemes of the heat supply system before and after the reconstruction are given. The roles of the main participants in this process are defined: civil engineer A.K. Pavlovsky, mechanical engineer M.M. Kurbanov, engineerS.Y. Korsak.
Voice-over country? Okay, Boomer. How young viewers are disrupting the AVT landscape in Poland
Authors: Flis Gabriela , Szarkowska Agnieszka
Published: July 2024

Poland, historically known as a stronghold of voice-over when it comes to audiovisual translation (AVT), as evidenced by opinion polls of the 1990s and early 2000s, underwent a substantial shift in its AVT landscape with the emergence of streaming services. This paradigm shift not only grants viewers the autonomy to choose what and when to watch, but also enables them to select their preferred AVT type, with many opting against voice-over. This study aims to provide empirical evidence confirming these evolving AVT preferences of Polish viewers. Conducting an online survey of nearly 1300 adult Poles, we explore their AVT preferences and viewing habits across cinemas, television, and streaming platforms. Additionally, we investigate potential genre-related variations in AVT preferences, specifically comparing preferences for dubbing in animation versus live-action content. Our findings show a departure from the traditional preference towards voice-over towards subtitling, particularly prominent among millennials and Generation Z. Young Polish viewers are also increasingly drawn to VOD platforms and away from traditional linear TV broadcasts. Many viewers also express a notable fondness for dubbing in animated productions, especially those nostalgically remembered from childhood.
Side effects and hypersensitivity reactions to corticosteroids
Authors: Lisiecka M.Z.
Published: July 2024

The relevance of the topic under study is due to the fact that patients receiving large or repeated doses of corticosteroids often suffer from hypersensitivity reactions or side effects from taking this category of drugs. As a result, this poses a serious problem for healthcare authorities, as the scientific understanding of this phenomenon is still at an early stage. The purpose of study is to comprehensively disclose the various types of mechanisms underlying corticosteroid hypersensitivity, as well as to develop recom­mendations for more accurate methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this reaction. To achieve this goal, this theoretical study used various methods, including analysis, deduction, abstraction and generalization, and the method of synthesis. The results of the study underscore the broad spectrum of applications for corticosteroid drugs in medicine, highlighting their systemic effects and potential for side effects and hypersensitivity reactions across various bodily systems. These adverse reactions encompass hyperglycemia, hypertension, respiratory issues, visual impairments, skin conditions like contact dermatitis, bone tissue complications, and behavioral disorders, notably in children. Administering cortico­steroids in COVID-19 treatment necessitates caution due to the potential for life-threatening immediate hypersensitivity reactions, which may be mistaken for disease progression. The results and conclusions of this study, which were formed using the above methods, may lead to a more accurate diagnosis of hypersensitivity to drugs such as corticosteroids, and may also contribute to the development of effective preventive measures. This study is of practical importance for dermatologists, allergists and immunologists, as well as researchers working in the field of rheumatology, allergology and immunology.

Psychodermatology: practical aspects of diagnosing autodestructive dermatoses on the example of our own clinical observations
Authors: Tlish M. , Shavilova M. , Psavok F. , Lomakina G. , Stepanova D.
Published: July 2024

The study of the features of the relationship between the mental state of the patient and skin pathological processes at the present stage is especially relevant. This is due not only to an increase in the prevalence of psycho-dermatological comorbidity, but also to the pathogenetic features of the formation of the clinical picture of this pathology, which make it difficult to diagnose. Skin lesions can either be a consequence of a primary psychiatric illness or induce the development of concomitant psychosocial illnesses. At the same time, mental disorders masked by skin manifestations combine, as a rule, skin lesions due to self-harm. Their clinical picture can mimic the symptoms of a number of nosologies, including not only dermatological pathology, but also systemic diseases with skin manifestations. The artificiality of rashes may not always be obvious, which often leads to the erroneous involvement of doctors of various specialties in the diagnostic search and prolongs the time for making the correct diagnosis. The article presents our own clinical observations of patients with autodestructive dermatosis, in which the verification of the diagnosis was accompanied by diagnostic errors, which caused pronounced destructive changes. In the analysis of the above clinical observations, attention is focused on the features of the skin pathological process, aspects of differential diagnosis, as well as insufficient awareness of primary health care professionals about this problem. Increased awareness of doctors of related specialties can contribute to clinical alertness, reduce the time of diagnosis and timely start of therapy for these patients by a psychiatrist, which will reduce the risk of an increase in the severity of the disease and social exclusion of patients.

Authors: Tyas Farradesty Cahyaning , Dosinta Nina Febriana , Astarani Juanda
Published: July 2024

This research investigates the determinants of tax avoidance with company size as a moderation. Regarding the increase in environmental social governance (ESG) investment since 2013 in Indonesia, this research uses eight LQ45 companies for 2013-2023. This research uses Moderated Regression Analysis. The results show that profitability, financial distress, and asset turnover significantly influence tax avoidance. In contrast, company size and ESG do not influence tax avoidance. Although company size can moderate profitability on tax avoidance, it cannot moderate financial distress, asset turnover, and ESG on tax avoidance. This research contributes to expanding understanding regarding tax avoidance through agency theory and legitimacy in providing academic literature. This research implies that a company's financial performance can reduce tax avoidance efforts in line with fulfilling stakeholder (principal) expectations regarding increasing profits.

The Role of Alpha Linolenic Acid on Neuroinflammation: A Systemic Review
Authors: Wijaya Debby Chesilya , Linawati Ni Made
Published: July 2024

Neuroinflammation, an inflammatory response within the central nervous system (CNS), plays a critical role in various neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. Alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, has shown promising health benefits due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This article aims to thoroughly examine the potential effects of ALA in reducing neuroinflammation, emphasizing its roles as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. The review focuses on studies published between 2018 and 2023, sourced from reputable academic databases such as PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, with nine key papers selected. The findings indicate that ALA significantly mitigates neuroinflammation by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the Nrf-2/HO-1/JNK signaling pathway. Additionally, ALA reduces inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting p-JNK activation, disrupting lipid rafts, blocking the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB, and altering cell membrane phospholipid composition. The review concludes that ALA may have potential therapeutic effects in reducing neuroinflammation through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, offering possible benefits for various neurological conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Diabetes mellitus has raised concerns about structural and functional changes in blood cells, as well as changes in blood impedance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between electrical impedance values measured with the Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer (BIA) in diabetes patients. Blood samples were collected from 5 healthy people and 5 diabetes patients for the study. Electrical impedance testing with a BIA. The impedance method determines the electrical properties of blood by measuring its resistance and reactance at various frequencies. The results of the BIA are analyzed and compared to body health parameters such as the blood glucose level index. The average electrical impedance value in diabetes mellitus patients measured at a frequency of 100 Hz to 100 kHz with a current injection of 10 μA was found to be lower than the average electrical impedance value in healthy people. This study shows that the electrical impedance value of diabetes mellitus patients is lower than the impedance value of healthy people. This is consistent with diabetes mellitus patients' blood glucose levels, which are higher than healthy people's blood glucose levels.

A group of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes) working together to perform a specific task is called a consortium. This study aims to study and determine the growth and yield response of rice plants to the application of a consortium of phyllosphere microbes Fm48 and rhizosphere microbes R15. This research has been conducted since from August to November 2021 in the rice fields of Boya Baliase Village, Marawola District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. This study used a one-factor randomized block design method with grouping based on plot height. The treatment that was tried consisted of four levels, that is: Control = Without applied microbes, Fm48 = Applied a consortium of phyllosphere microbes Fm48, R15 = Applied a consortium of rhizosphere microbes R15 and Fm48R15= Applied a consortium of phyllosphere microbes Fm48 and rhizosphere microbes R15. To determine the effect of the treatment being tested, a variance analysis was carried out. Analysis of variance which showed a significant effect, further test was carried out for LSD Î± = 0.5. The results showed that the treatment of various consortiums of phyllosphere microbes Fm48 and R15 rhizosphere microbes had no significant effect on growth parameters but had a significant effect on the number of hollow grains and grain weight per 1000 rice grains. The consortium of phyllosphere microbes Fm48 and rhizosphere microbes R15 gave the best results for the lowest number of hollow grains and the highest grain weight per 1000 rice grains.

Motivation is one of the factors that influence student learning outcomes, especially science learning. Motivation has an impact on the results of students' learning and must be concerned to enhance student motivation. This research aims to investigate Junior High School students' motivation in science learning. The survey method, which is a quantitative research method, was used in this research. The instrument named Students' Motivation Towards Science Learning Questionnaire (SMTSLQ), and open-ended questions were applied to Junior High School students who studied in Junior High School, West Java, Indonesia. The participants of this research are 1018, with 622 female and 396 male students. The collected data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, then supported by the answers to open-ended questions from the students. The findings showed that the average self-efficacy is 3.38, active learning strategies is 3.83, science learning value is 3.68, performance goal is 2.9, achievement goal is 3.69, and learning environment stimulation is 3.39. The total average is 3.52, which means the students in Junior High School are categorized as having a high level of motivation in science learning. Based on the students' answers to open-ended questions, they are motivated to learn science because science is fun and interesting to learn, and teachers are able to provide experiences from experiments. Meanwhile, students who are not motivated to learn science because science is a complex subject and difficult to understand, and teachers who give a lot of assignments without experimentation
Educational Environment Management in the Perspective of Climate Change in Indonesia

Published: July 2024

Education has been managed in such a way that the maximum educational goals can be achieved. In its implementation, education is certainly inseparable from management and its surrounding environment. In management, the presence of the right strategy and a solid team is needed so that the goals can be achieved. Meanwhile, the strategy in management itself only reacts to the human-shaped environment, which is society. Both management and the school environment have strong interactions and influences on the education management process. Educational institutions' management must ensure that their methods are in line with societal demands, as social and cultural institutions have a significant impact on how the institution operates. The educational environment should be managed in such a way that the educational goals can be achieved. With good interaction and support from the community and parties related to the educational environment, it is hoped that schools will advance. In other words, good cooperation from lecturers, parents, education boards, committees, and the community around the school environment is believed to be able to develop potential and improve the quality of education.
