THE VISUAL HERITAGE OF VADYM SHCHERBAKIVSKYI IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE FOR THE STUDY OF THE GENESIS OF UKRAINIAN SACRED CONSTRUCTION, FOLK ART AND ETHNOGRAPHY (BASED ON ARCHIVAL MATERIALS OF THE INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF UKRAINE)
Authors: Taras Yaroslav
Published: July 2023

Photographs and negatives of V. Scherbakivskyi are an important source for studying the genesis of Ukrainian sacred construction, architecture, folk art, and ethnography. They are the basis for the restoration of the artistic tradition, remain relevant, and go far beyond the boundaries of historiographical discourse. The goal is to publicize and analyze information about Vadym Shcherbakivskyi's negatives, which are stored in the funds of the Institute of Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, to show his familiarity with photographic practice, to highlight their value for architecture, folk art, ethnology, and church history. The object of the study is the legacy of V. Scherbakivskyi's negatives, collected by the Museum of the National Academy of Sciences. The subject is the practice of using visual material by Vadym Shcherbakivskyi to study the genesis of Ukrainian sacred construction, folk art, ethnography and to restore the artistic tradition. Methods: comparative-historical analysis is used for the reconstruction, study and research of certain ethnographic territories of Ukraine; synchronous and diachronic — to characterize the content variability of its photo-fixation, its use for building the genesis of Ukrainian sacred architecture and its origin. The article highlights the cooperation of V. Shcherbakivskyi with the National Academy of Sciences, his scientific research in Galicia at the beginning of the 20th century. and in the Poltava region, it is shown how the collected visual sources allowed V. Shcherbakivskyi to assert the existence of an independent "Ukrainian church style", that the Ukrainian artistic tradition is a confirmation of national identity, it is highlighted how his photo-fixation of Ukrainian church architecture became an important factor in the breakdown of the Great Russian piece in appropriation other people's achievements. It is shown how visual sources serve as artifacts for the study of architecture, folk art, ethnology and Church history, the tasks set for the processing and digitization of photos and negatives of V. Shcherbakivsky and the publication of an album for the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Authors: Fedunkiv Zenoviy
Published: July 2023

Based on the results of scientific expeditions and field surveys, the article examines the problems of construction dating, functioning efficiency, localization and identification of structures and fortifications, the planning and spatial structure of the Stratyn city fortifications. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that, apart from the reports of four scientific expeditions, no full-fledged scientific article was devoted to Stratyn's city fortifications. The study, based on the analysis of historical sources and the military-political situation, puts forward an assumption about the period of construction of city fortifications and their role in the Polish-Turkish wars of the 1670s. Based on the analysis of cartographic sources and field surveys, an analysis of the planning structure was carried out, the location was determined and fortification structures and fortifications were identified. On the basis of the analysis of the fortification and technological features of the preserved fragments of ramparts, ditches and sites of buildings, it was concluded that the Stratyn city fortifications belong to the bastion defense system common in the western Ukrainian lands.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of this paper is to define the triple bottom line (TBL) theory and its key indicators, describe the theoretical foundation for sustainability accounting and sustainability reporting, and assess the impact of the TBL theory on sustainability accounting practices in businesses. As a result, the significance of research stems from the significance of sustainability as a major requirement of the modern business environment, as well as the significance of the entities' disclosure of their responsibility to society and the environment, and the effect on enhancing the entities' reputation, supporting their economic activities, and supporting their competitive advantage. The five-year financial statements of four petroleum corporations in Iraq's Kurdistan Region were examined. The researchers discovered a lack of reaction for oil sector plants in Iraq's Kurdistan Region to achieve a competitive advantage by accomplishing social and environmental responsibility for the facilities. The researchers conclude that the TBL theory helps to improve sustainability accounting by quantitatively disclosing the entity's social and environmental actions, and it can serve to raise the degree of awareness for the entity's management in order to meet legislative and stakeholder requirements.

Authors: Mohammed Shamsuddeen , Nasidi Qaribu Yahaya , Muhammed Mahmud Umar , Muhammad Umar Musa , Hassan Isyaku
Published: July 2023

Background and Purpose: A good and fulfilling relationship among individuals from distinct cultural backgrounds depends on effective communication. This research examined the perceived relationship between communication styles and interpersonal conflict resolution among international students in Malaysian universities.
 
Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional survey in which self-developed structured questionnaires were used to gather data from a random sample of 324 international students in 15 higher institutions across Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis.
 
Findings: The findings of this study revealed a significant positive relationship between communication styles and interpersonal conflict resolution among international students. Specifically, passive, passive-aggressive, and assertive communication styles have a significant positive relationship with conflict resolution. However, the aggressive communication style exerts an insignificant effect on conflict resolution with a t-value of 0.734 and a P-value of 0.463. Thus, the students generally believe this style does not help to resolve interpersonal conflict. These outcomes suggest the students’ readiness for cultivating a peaceful learning environment.
 
Contributions: This study provides relevant information that can help educational decision-makers to strengthen cross-cultural collaboration among international students in the Malaysian context. This valuable information can also facilitate successful academic, professional, and social cooperation.
 
Keywords: Cross-cultural relationship, interpersonal conflict resolution, communication styles, international students, Malaysia.

THE CONSTRUCTION AND NEGOTIATION OF AGENTIVE IDENTITY: A CASE STUDY OF A MALAYSIAN STUDENT
Authors: Tun Nadia , Khairuddin Zurina
Published: July 2023

Background and Purpose: The success of the government’s aspiration into developing holistic Malaysian students not only lies in what has been going in today’s classroom but also outside classroom in which the fundamental process of seeking for knowledge, skills and competencies. Holistic identity is not a construct that is inherited, nor does it remain constant but is developed and evolves from different academic encounters faced by the students. Thus, the present study investigated the construction and negotiation of a student’s identity from her interaction within academic settings in Malaysian Higher Education Institution (MHEI).
 
Methodology: The study employed qualitative research and linguistic ethnography approaches utilising case study as the research design. One (1) Malaysian student from a MHEI was chosen using purposive sampling technique. The data for the study were collected from classroom observations, interview and focus group discussion. The data were analysed using thematic analysis and identity in interaction framework analysis.
 
Findings: The participant of this study constructed and negotiated an agentive identity during the process of making conscious decisions in her academic experiences. Agentive identity could be seen emerged from her interactions and indexed from her behaviour and opinion during her academic encounters (inside and outside the classroom). The participant’s engagement behaviour portrayed could be interpreted as being agentive from the lens of the two principles in identity framework analysis namely; the emergence principle and the indexicality principle.
 
Contributions: Experiencing different educational contexts could help to shape Malaysian students to be balanced, academically and morally, as aspired by the Malaysia National Education Philosophy. Malaysian students are seen as the catalysts who would lead the country in the future. The findings of this study could also be used as a reference on how educational practices reflect on the production of individuals as manifested in the NEP. Examining how students construct and negotiate their identities in a new or/and familiarised academic convention could enlighten the stakeholders such as the students themselves, lecturers, tutors, parents, and ministry to be more flexible, allowing students to be empowered within appropriate contexts.

OBJECTIVE

To examine the susceptibility of cultured primary equine bronchial epithelial cells (EBECs) to a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pseudovirus relative to human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs).

SAMPLE

Primary EBEC cultures established from healthy adult horses and commercially sourced human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) were used as a positive control.

METHODS

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression by EBECs was demonstrated using immunofluorescence, western immunoblot, and flow cytometry. EBECs were transduced with a lentivirus pseudotyped with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that binds to ACE2 and expresses the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) as a reporter. Cells were transduced with the pseudovirus at a multiplicity of infection of 0.1 for 6 hours, washed, and maintained in media for 96 hours. After 96 hours, eGFP expression in EBECs was assessed by fluorescence microscopy of cell cultures and quantitative PCR.

RESULTS

ACE2 expression in EBECs detected by immunofluorescence, western immunoblotting, and flow cytometry was lower in EBECs than in HBECs. After 96 hours, eGFP expression in EBECs was demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy, and mean ΔCt values from quantitative PCR were significantly (P < .0001) higher in EBECs (8.78) than HBECs (3.24) indicating lower infectivity in EBECs.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Equine respiratory tract cells were susceptible to cell entry with a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus. Lower replication efficiency in EBECs suggests that horses are unlikely to be an important zoonotic host of SARS-CoV-2, but viral mutations could render some strains more infective to horses. Serological and virological monitoring of horses in contact with persons shedding SARS-CoV-2 is warranted.
Remarks on bipolar cubic fuzzy graphs and its chemical applications
Authors: Lu Juanjuan , Zhu Linli , Gao Wei
Published: July 2023

In theoretical chemistry, fuzzy molecular graphs can be used to model chemical molecular structures with uncertainty information, where the vertex membership function and edge membership function describe the uncertainty of atoms and chemical bonds respectively. This paper studies chemical topological index of bipolar cubic fuzzy graphs. The new concepts and theorems are given in terms of graph theory and fuzzy set theory approaches and several theoretical conclusions on bipolar Wiener index of bipolar cubic fuzzy graphs are determined. Furthermore, we apply it in chemical science and calculate the bipolar Wiener index of dimethyltryptamine and hallucinogen which are modelled by bipolar cubic fuzzy graphs.

Published: July 2023

Three entomopathogenic nematode populations were isolated from agricultural fields in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir (India). Sequences of multiple gene regions and phenotypic features show that they are conspecific and represent a novel species. Molecular and morphological features provided evidence for placing the new species into the “Kushidai” clade. Within this clade, analysis of sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene, the D2D3 region of the 28S rRNA gene, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene, and the mitochondrial 12S (mt12S) gene depicted the novel species as a distinctive entity closely related to Steinernema akhursti, S. kushidai, and S. populi. Phylogenetic analyses also show that the new species is a sister species to S. akhursti, and these two species are closely related to S. kushidai and S. populi. Additionally, the new species does not mate or produce fertile progeny with any of the closely related species, reinforcing its uniqueness from a biological species concept standpoint. The new species is further characterized by the third-stage infective juveniles with almost straight bodies (0.7–0.8 mm length), poorly developed stoma and pharynx, and conoid-elongate tail (49–66 µm) with hyaline posterior part. Adult females are characterized by short and conoid tails bearing a short mucron in the first generation and long conoid tails with thin mucron in the second generation. Adult males have ventrally curved spicules in both generations. Moreover, the first-generation male has rounded manubrium, fusiform gubernaculum, conoid and slightly ventrally curved tails with minute mucron, and the second generation has rhomboid manubrium anteriorly ventrad bent, and tails with long and robust mucron. The morphological, morphometrical, molecular, and phylogenetic analyses support the new species status of this nematode, which is hereby described as Steinernema anantnagense n. sp. The bacterial symbiont associated with S. anantnagense n. sp. represents a novel species, closely related to Xenorhabdus japonica. These findings shed light on the diversity of entomopathogenic nematodes and their symbiotic bacteria, providing valuable information for future studies in this field.
Correlation of t(14;18) translocation breakpoint site with clinical characteristics in follicular lymphoma
Authors: Panjan Matej , Boltezar Lucka , Novakovic Srdjan , Kokovic Ira , Jezersek Novakovic Barbara
Published: July 2023

Background

t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation is an important genetic feature of follicular lymphoma resulting in antiapoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein overexpression. On chromosome 18 breakpoint-site variation is high but does not affect BCL2. Breakpoint most commonly occurs at major breakpoint region (MBR) but may happen at minor cluster region (mcr) and between MBR and mcr at 3′MBR and 5′mcr. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation of t(14;18)(q32;q21) breakpoint site with clinical characteristics in follicular lymphoma.

Patients and methods

We included patients diagnosed with follicular lymphoma who received at least 1 cycle of systemic treatment and had the t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at MBR, mcr or 3′MBR prior to first treatment. Among patients with different breakpoints, sex, age, disease grade, stage, B-symptoms, follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI), presence of bulky disease, progression free survival and overall survival were compared.

Results

Of 84 patients, 63 had breakpoint at MBR, 17 at mcr and 4 at 3′MBR. At diagnosis, the MBR group had a significantly lower disease stage than the mcr group. Although not significant, in the MBR group we found a higher progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), lower grade, age, FLIPI, and less B-symptoms.

Conclusions

Compared to patients with mcr breakpoint, those with MBR breakpoint seem to be characterised by more favourable clinical characteristics. However, a larger study would be required to support our observation.

Objective. To assess the effect of external carotid artery (ECA) endarterectomy on regional cerebral blood flow, cognitive function, and quality of life in patients with ICA occlusion.Materials and Methods. From 2019 to 2020 year, 14 operations were performed on patients with ICA occlusion and hemodynamically significant ECA lesion. 14 patients, 12 men (85.7 %) and 2 women (14.3 %) underwent resection of the ICA, endarterectomy of the common carotid artery (CCA), and ECA. All patients had a history of stroke of 7±5.7 months. Neurological deficit according to the Rankin scale was 2 points in 11 patients (78.6 %) and 3 points in 3 patients (21.4 %). The mean age was 62.8±11.6 years. The preoperative period included ultrasound duplex scanning and computed tomography with the contrast of the brachiocephalic arteries. Single-photon emission computed tomography was used to assess cerebral blood flow before and after surgery. Cognitive status and quality of life were assessed by questionnaire survey.Results. In the early postoperative period, there were no registered strokes. A decrease in hypoperfusion foci and an increase of cerebral blood flow by an average of 10,33 ± 6,70 ml/min/100 g were observed in 13 patients (92,8 %). The Montreal Cognitive Deficit Scale score was 3,92±3,6. Improvement of quality of life according to the Short Form-36 questionnaire was 9.27±14.75.Conclusion. Endarterectomy of the external carotid artery at the internal carotid artery occlusion leads to a significant increase of regional cerebral blood flow in symptomatic patients, which in turn correlates with the regression of neurological deficit and improvement of quality of life. Continued work in this area will be a detailed analysis of the results of the treatment of patients with occlusion of the internal carotid artery for the period from 2018 to 2022 year.

Published: July 2023

This article is devoted to the study of tolerance of schoolchildren and students towards refugees. This specific social group is extremely vulnerable and in dire need of protection and a variety of assistance. This is especially relevant due to the growing number of refugees and internally displaced persons in the Russian Federation. Refugee adaptation is inextricably linked to the host community's level of tolerance. The specificity of the host country and the form in which the dominant culture influences visitors is a powerful factor which contributes to the successful adaptation of refugees. In this regard, it is extremely important to form a tolerant environment in which young schoolchildren and students – children of refugees, adapting to the new conditions of the host culture. The object of the study was schoolchildren and students living in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan. To study the tolerance of young people, as well as to study the social attitudes of schoolchildren and students towards refugees, the following methods were used: the questionnaire “Tolerance Index” (G.U. Soldatova, O.A. Kravtsova, O.E. Khukhlaev, L.A. Shaygerova); the “Attribution of Qualities” technique (D. Katz, K. Braley); author's questionnaire (including a bipolar quality scale and questions aimed at identifying socio-demographic characteristics). The average level of tolerance in schoolchildren and students was revealed, significant differences between the groups were not found. The data indicates that half of the students and schoolchildren believe that refugees should be helped no more than everyone else, since locals also have problems. The image of a refugee in modern youth was revealed. It is shown that negative qualities prevail in the image of a refugee: fear, aggressiveness, arrogance, suspicion, anxiety. Among the positive characteristics, the respondents note strength and resilience. Most of the respondents use emotions as a description of the qualities attributed to refugees, which may indicate the assumption that schoolchildren and students think that refugees often experience the following emotions: fear, fear, sadness, anger. On the one hand, it seems important to conduct further research aimed at studying the image of a refugee among modern youth. On the other hand, the presented data can be used in group and individual psychological work to form attitudes of tolerant consciousness towards refugees among young people.

This article discusses the main psychological and pedagogical principles of the approach to the study of the personality of students. The author pays special attention to the fact that before studying the personality of a schoolchild, it is necessary first to study the collective, then the common thing that unites children will become visible, it will become really possible to use the collective to form a specific personality. First of all, the most effective components of collective life, or the main indicators of the upbringing of the team, are studied. To obtain reliable information in the course of a lesson in physical culture and to understand the students, the most important method of collecting information is to observe their behavior. As the author points out, at the first stage of the formation of public opinion, children often combine events, phenomena, facts in their minds according to secondary, and not according to essential features, not according to their internal content, but according to their external manifestation. Moreover, the collective, on the one hand, as it were, embodies the total upbringing of children, and on the other hand, the individual necessarily differs from others in some way, occupying a certain position in the system of intra-collective relations. The purpose of the work was to study the maturity of public opinion, the system of social dependencies between members of the team in the educational process in the implementation of the subject "Physical Education". At the same time, summarizing the author points out that in the study of students in the process of classes, they proceed from a holistic approach to personality. When developing the content of pedagogical diagnostics, first of all, the criteria are clarified – the main indicators by which one can judge one's upbringing in a particular area. The criterion is either the main features of quality, or its constituent elements. Thus, studying the collective, we thereby study the most essential in the spiritual world of the individual, determine the main directions of its general development, the effectiveness of the collective in shaping the inner world of the pupil.

Authors: Spada Gea Elena , Bortolla Roberta , Pittelli Greta , Maffei Cesare
Published: July 2023

The habit to share edited pictures through social networks have been reported in young people and associated to psychological vulnerabilities. The research addresses the effects of the exposure to edited pictures on guilt, shame, social comparison tendencies, body image dissatisfaction. Moreover, the study assesses the mediating role of borderline organization on perceived identification and attractiveness in edited and original personal pictures.
We asked seventy young women to rate perceived identification and attractiveness in their original and edited pictures. Subjects report higher identification in the original picture compared to the edited ones; attractiveness does not change between original and edited pictures, but high identification in edited ones negatively affects the score of attractiveness in original versions. They report negative associations between the level of identification and attractiveness in the original picture and dysphoria, guilt and body image. Identification and attractiveness in personal pictures are influenced by psychological vulnerabilities. Eventually, borderline organization features mediate the association between guilt and body image satisfaction with identification and attractiveness respectively. Furthermore, psychopathological features might affect individual self-perception and behavior in social network.
Overcoming Pain with Virtual Reality: Exploring the Potential of VR as a Tool for Pediatric Pain Management
Authors: Felnhofer Anna , Weiss Lisa
Published: July 2023

HighlightsVirtual Reality interventions are a relatively new approach in pain management for children and adolescents,however, research in this field is growing.Two not mutually exclusive theories emerged on how VR can decrease acute and chronic pain:(1) via distraction – VR has been repeatedly tested as a distraction tool in experiments as well as in clinical contexts,especially for acute pain. There are strong indications in literature pointing towards a pain-relieving effect ofVR, however the evidence is weak and relevant studies are not systematically comparable due to unstandardizedmethods and different age groups, as well as partially insufficient sample sizes and open questions regarding theused paradigms.(2) via embodiment – experimental studies indicate that ownership and visual modification of a virtual bodypart may decrease pain perception in this body part, however this approach has not been sufficiently tested in aclinical context yet; in particular, more evidence for children and adolescents and with regards to acute versuschronic pain is needed.

Published: July 2023

Propiconazole (PRO) and hexaconazole (HEX), two significant plant growth regulators, were applied on Beet root plants to test their effect on photosynthetic pigments and biochemical concentration. Each plant was treated with 15mg L-1 PRO and 15 mg L-1 HEX by soil drenching on 30, 40 and 50 days after planting (DAP).Chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content, carotenoid, protein, proline and Starch contents, were analysed from shoot and root on 40, 50 and 60 DAP. PRO and HEX applications increased the chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll, protein, proline and starch contents in beetroot. It can be concluded that, these compounds have beneficial effects on tuber plants other than their fungicidal actions.
