Pain as a Secondary Quality: A Phenomenological Approach
Authors: Escudero-Morales Alejandro
Published: April 2023

This work proposes that pain meets the requirements of being characterized as a secondary quality, as it covers, like a color, a determined extension. The argument seeks to establish a literal pain-color analogy through an inquiry into the intensity and location of the pain. From the classic intensity/location relationship reported by patients with acute appendicitis, three degrees of pain are distinguished: mild, moderate, and severe. The objective is only achieved by examining the Body’s extensional determinations (primary quality) insofar as each of these degrees of pain covers three particular measures. Once these three measures have been explored according to the perforation process (tissue damage), the work ends by identifying pain as a transcendent moment.

The role of prelaboratory assignments in the improvement of academic performance and enhancement of intrinsic motivation in human cadaveric anatomy
Authors: Dutta Chaudhuri Joydeep , Rao Venugopal
Published: April 2023

Cadaveric dissection is a core component of teaching in human anatomy. However, students often attend the cadaver laboratory with limited preparation, which detrimentally impacts their learning. The use of pre-laboratory assignments (PLAs) that require students to prepare for a cadaver dissection session has been reported to improve student performance and encourage higher-order understanding of educational material. In the context of active learning, high levels of intrinsic motivation (IM) in students are associated with greater effort, and consequently better overall academic success. However, the maintenance of the IM of students in anatomy is often challenging for educators. This study aimed to explore the role of PLAs in the improvement of academic performance and enhancement of IM in occupational therapy students enrolled in a human anatomy course. One cohort of students were expected to complete PLAs prior to each cadaveric dissection session. The PLAs required students to write a brief anatomical description of each anatomical structure. The control group consisted of students who were not required to complete similar PLAs. Students who were advised to complete PLAs had a higher score on the practical examinations, and enhanced IM as compared to students in the control group. Further, the qualitative responses of students indicated that students perceived PLAs to be useful in the learning of anatomy. Therefore, PLAs are a valuable teaching tool, and represent a crucial element in revitalizing the anatomy curriculum.

The stress state of a homogeneous isotropic layer under the action of a spatial static external load is studied. Two circular cylindrical supports are cut into the body of the layer parallel to its borders. The supports and body of the layer are rigidly coupled. The spatial problem theory of elasticity is solved using the analytical-numerical generalized Fourier method. The layer is considered in the Cartesian coordinate system, the supports are considered in the local cylindrical coordinates. Stresses are set on the upper and lower surfaces of the layer. The supports are considered as cylindrical cavities in a layer with zero displacements set on their surfaces. Satisfying the boundary conditions on the upper and lower surfaces of the layer, as well as on the cylindrical surfaces of the cavities, a system of infinite integro-algebraic equations, which are further reduced to linear algebraic ones, is obtained. An infinite system is solved by the reduction method. In the numerical studies, the parameters of integration oscillatory functions are analyzed, problems at different distances between supports are solved. A unit load in the form of a rapidly decreasing function is applied to the upper boundary between the supports. For these cases, an analysis of the stress state was performed on the surfaces of the layer between the supports and on the cylindrical surfaces in contact with the supports. The numerical analysis showed that when the distance between the supports increases, the stresses σx on the lower and upper surfaces of the layer and the stresses τρφ on the surfaces of the cavities increase. The use of the analytical-numerical method made it possible to obtain a result with an accuracy of 10-4 for stress values from 0 to 1 at the order of the system of equations m=6. As the order of the system increases, the accuracy of fulfilling the boundary conditions will increase. The presented analytical-numerical solution can be used for high-precision determination of the stress-strain state of the presented problems type, as well a reference for problems based on numerical methods

Problem of predicting the residual service life of airplanes and helicopters is highly relevant for flight safety. In this paper, on the basis of the conducted research on the change of mechanical characteristics during materials fatigue accumulation, it is proposed to control the service life by changing the dissipative characteristics. In case of fatigue damage, the accumulative logarithmic decrement of oscillation damping δ increases to the limit maximum value δm, which corresponds to the critical length of the main fatigue crack, which leads to failure. The limit value δm can be set depending on the amount of energy spent on the development of the main fatigue crack, taking into account the dangerous part of the consumed energy. With the accumulation of fatigue damage, the growth of logarithmic decrement occurs at the expense of energy expenditure for the growth of fatigue cracks and internal friction. This is taken into account by the coefficient α, which allows to allocate a dangerous part of the energy that goes into the development of a main fatigue crack. The problem of durability prediction consists of two stages. At first, it is needed to determine δm for the critical crack length. Then, based on the two values of logarithmic decrement at the corresponding load cycles, the number of cycles to failure – to the critical length of the crack – is predicted by the Peris formula

Published: April 2023

The magnetic field of the medium- and high-voltage underground power cable line, laid in composite polyethylene pipes having magnetic properties, with the use of special loose-fill/fill-up soil of different dimensions (bulk) is studied by computer modeling. The pipes and additional soils around and near the cables are made of a composite material with effective magnetic properties and can act as a magnetic shield that reduces the level of the field on the ground. The effi-ciency of field shielding depending on the height and width of the composite loose-fill/fill-up soil is analyzed. The exis-tence of the optimal not large (in height) fill-up soil for the best mitigation of the magnetic field on the ground directly above the cables and the influence of the width of the loose-fill/fill-up soils on the shielding efficiency are revealed. The characteristic features of the magnetic field distribution and the field level depending on the availability or non-availability of composite loose-fill soil are presented. The advantages of (trefoil) cable arrangement in one pipe with additional composite loose-fill and fill-up soil are shown. References 30, figures 5.

Electric machines built according to the modular principle – with several three-phase windings on a stator – are a new direction of modern electromechanics, because they have a number of advantages compared to traditional single-winding machines. Among these benefits, the most important are increased efficiency and fault tolerance, which is especially important for self-powered electric vehicles. However, the presence of a mutual magnetic coupling between the modules, as well as their unequal electrical load, amplify the electromagnetic torque ripple inherent in one or another electric drive system. In this work, the electromagnetic torque ripples in a dual three-phase (DTP) brushless DC motor (BLDCM) under different loads of its modules were investigated for the cases of absence and presence of mutual magnetic coupling between armature winding sets and in the cases of the drive operation in open and closed control systems. The research was carried out by means of simulation in the Matlab/Simulink environment on a circular model of real mock-up sample of DTP permanent magnet machine developed based on the results of its magnetic field simulation using the finite element method. Adequacy of simulation results is confirmed by experimental investigation. The results of the DTP BLDCM simulation studies showed an increase in the relative electromagnetic torque ripples of individual modules due to both the presence of magnetic coupling between winding sets and the deviation from their equal loading. However, at the level of the whole DTP BLDCM, a significant mutual compensation the electromagnetic torque ripples of the modules is shown, especially if they are magnetically coupled. The presence of closed-loop control systems of individual modules significantly reduces the electromagnetic torque ripples caused by different loading of the modules, especially in the case of magnetically uncoupled modules.

For today the exact mechanisms of myocardial infarction and ischemia/reperfusion injury are still not fully understood. ER stress and integrated stress response pathways are thought to play an essential role in myocardial damage. This includes activation of endoplasmic reticulum kinase PERK, induction of activating transcription factor ATF4, expression of pro-apoptotic transcription factor CHOP and P53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) involved in apoptosis control. We used a rat model of isoproterenol-induced myocardial damage to elucidate the possible cardioprotective effect of Ginger through the influence on ER stress-induced apoptotic pathway. We also compared its effect with the ACE inhibitor Captopril. Male albino Wistar rats received 1.0 or 2.0 ml of Zingiber officinale (Ginger) powder suspension (200 mg/ml) daily by intra-gastric intubation for 28 days. Isoproterenol at a dose of 85 mg/kg was IP injected on the 27th and 28th days. Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) level was measured using kinetic kit. Heart tissue was used for RNA extraction, evaluation of gene expression by Q-RT-PCR, immuno-histochemical determination of caspase-3 expression and histopathological studies. Our results showed that Isoproterenol administration increased CHOP-mRNA expression 4 folds in cardiac muscle tissue compared to normal control. Ginger pretreatment significantly decreased both CHOP and ATF4, and PUMA mRNA expression compared to Isoproterenol-treated groups. A significant reduction in ATF4 mRNA expression in a group pretreated with Captopril and Ginger compared to normal control group was observed. The results showed that Ginger reduced AST serum levels which correlated with results of histopathological studies of heart tissue. Our findings suggest that the protective effects of Ginger against myocardium damage induced by Isoproterenol may be mediated by reducing­ the endoplasmic reticulum stress by affecting the ATF4-CHOP-PUMA pathway.

An important role in ensuring the functioning of the respiratory chain belongs to the cytochrome part, which includes complexes III (ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase) and IV (cytochrome c oxidase). The key components of these enzymatic complexes are heme-containing cytochromes, the number of which depends on the balance of heme synthesis and catabolism. δ-Aminolevulinate synthase catalyzes the first step of the heme biosynthetic pathway, while heme oxygenase is the key enzyme of heme degradation. It is known that nutritional imbalances drive many risk factors for chronic kidney disease. That is why our research aimed to study the activity of ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome oxidase complexes, the level of cytochromes a+a3, b, c, and c1, and the activity of key enzymes of heme metabolism in the mitochondria of rat kidneys under conditions of different content of protein and sucrose in animal diet. The obtained results showed a decreased activity of ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome oxidase complexes and reduced levels of mitochondria cytochromes a+a3, b, c, and c1 in the kidney mitochondria under the conditions of nutrient imbalance, with the most pronounced changes found in animals kept on a low-protein/high-sucrose diet. A decrease in δ-aminolevulinate synthase activity with a simultaneous 2-fold increase in heme oxygenase activity was found in kidney mitochondria of animals kept on a low-protein/high-sucrose diet compared to those kept on full-value diet indicating an intensification of heme catabolism along with inhibition of its synthesis. The obtained results testify the energy imbalance under the conditions of low-protein/high-sucrose which in turn can lead to the progression of kidney injury.

Peran Tarekat Alawiyyah dalam Menghadapi Krisis Spiritual di Kalangan Masyarakat Modern
Authors: Alaudin Fahmi
Published: April 2023

In this modern era, some humans experience a moral and spiritual crisis. Such as anxiety, restlessness, existential emptiness and distance from God. From these signs, it will result in high levels of stress, frustration, to a decrease in human dignity which will threaten the existence of every human being. So this is where the role of the Alawiyyah congregation is needed as an alternative solution in countering the phenomenon of spiritual crisis among modern society. The purpose of this study is to describe a brief history, teachings and the role of the Alawiyyah Order at the Asy-Syifa Wal Mahmudiyah Islamic Boarding School, Sumedang, West Java. This research is a qualitative descriptive type by practicing library research and field research. Data collection carried out by the author is in the form of interviews, observations and documentation. Data analysis carried out by researchers includes data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the role of the Alawiyyah tarekat in the Asy-Syifa Wal Mahmudiyah Islamic Boarding School, in facing a spiritual crisis among modern society is to implement several moral values of Sufism including good morals, having a sense of tolerance, peace, gratitude, being kind, and patient. According to K. H. Muhammad Muhyidin Abdul Qadir Al-Manafi, M.A, if all the moral values of Sufism can be implemented in this life, it will produce useful, happy and loving people. In addition, the ethics of society are getting better, so that it gives birth to peace, happiness, and harmony.
Relevansi Taubat dengan Kesehatan Mental dalam Islam

The purpose of this study is to reveal: 1) The concept of repentance according to Sufism (the Sufis) and psychology; 2) The concept of mental health according to western psychology and Sufism; and 3) The relevance of repentance to mental health according to Islam. This research belongs to the type of research (library research), using descriptive qualitative methods, and western psychological theory and the concept of repentance according to the Sufis as a knife of analysis. The findings in this study are: First, repentance according to the Sufis must be carried out solely for the sake of Allah and is determined to leave sins that have been committed in the past and not to repeat them. While repentance in the psychological view is defined as a person's encouragement to always fill himself with positive things and behaviors that direct him to foster peace of mind. Second, mental health in psychology is a psychological condition of a person in adjusting himself to his problems, whether it is within himself or outside himself by showing his abilities. Meanwhile, in Sufism's view, mental health is an ability to control mental functions, so that a good adjustment will be created, between oneself, other people, the environment, the universe or with God. Third, the relevance of repentance and mental health in Islam is the result of the process of cleansing the soul, so a mentally healthy person is a person whose soul is clean. The relationship between mental health and repentance in Islam cannot be separated, because the steps to achieve health can be produced through repentance. Repentance and mental health come from religious teachings. If the two are combined well, they can form a perfect soul, in other words, they can give birth to human beings.
Postmodernistyczne boje z religią – próba zarysowania problemu
Authors: Duk Andrzej
Published: April 2023

Często pojawia się stwierdzenie, że w czasach współczesnych mamy do czynienia z silną tendencją do sekularyzacji wszelkich przejawów życia osobistego i społecznego. I rzeczywiście, jeśli chodzi o tradycyjny sposób rozumienia religii, tak właśnie jest. Niektórzy twierdzą nawet, iż religia jest zjawiskiem naturalnie zanikającym, co oznacza, że nie ma dla niej żadnej przyszłości (Dennett). Jednak wielu humanistów postmodernistycznych ma odmienne zdanie. Twierdzą oni np., że obecne czasy nie są wcale tak bardzo zsekularyzowane (Habermas), a religia także i dziś odgrywa ważną rolę w życiu jednostek (Kristeva) i społeczeństw (Bauman), co należy wykorzystać dla dobra rodzącej się nowej kultury. Jednakże tak pojmowane rozumienie nowej religii odartej z transcendentalnych odniesień stawia także pod znakiem zapytania trwałośći wartość opartej na niej nowej kultury.
A consequence of the notional existence of an effectively calculable yet non-recursive function
Authors: Olszewski Adam
Published: April 2023

The present paper is devoted to a discussion of the role of Church’s thesis in setting limits to the cognitive possibilities of mathematics. The specific aim is to analyse the formalized theory of arithmetic as a fundamental mathematical structure related to the theory of computation. By introducing notional non-standard computational abilities into this theory, a non-trivial enlargement of the set of theorems is obtained. The paper also indicates the connection between the inclusion of new functions through the development of axioms and the potential modification of inference rules. In addition, the paper provides an explanation of the role of inclusion of a certain interpretation of the meaning of the axioms of the theory in that theory.
Technology education goal defining framework
Authors: Metsärinne Mika
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this article is to develop theoretical framework for defining technology education (TE) goals. First, approaches to technocratic determinism, the determinism of nature, voluntarism and aestheticism of technology have been considered within the same framework. Second, four alternative definitions for technology (Freenberg, 2007) have been applied within these approaches. Instrumentalism emphasises learners’ creative product production. The critical theory of technology emphasises cultural impact of learners’ product using and learning design knowledge. Determinism emphasises learner technology understanding and substantivism learner technology appraising. Third, analysing by the approaches, a sample of the TE goals of Finnish craft student teachers (n=100) wanted to develop for junior- and high school teaching and learning is described. The goals and the corresponding learning materials showed that they were evenly distributed across all the approaches. The framework provides comprehensive thinking ways for defining TE goals and curriculum.

The three-round Delphi method was utilised to solicit information from technology education stakeholders in Finland from November 2019 to April 2020. The panel of experts (N=31) comprised technology education teacher educators, researchers and experts of the national LUMA (STEM) 2020 programme and technology education developers. During the Delphi process both quantitative and qualitative approaches were utilized in gathering information and analysing the findings. In this article the focus is on comparing the most relevant trends and issues identified by craft and technology education professionals after Round 3. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. These findings reveal the unclear role of technology education in Finland and the need for a clear definition for it on the national curriculum level.
Girls’ engagement in engineering: Influences, independence and interest
Authors: Swan Janis E , Cowie Bronwen , Paiti Margaret
Published: April 2023

Increasing diversity in engineering, which is a goal of the profession, education and government, starts with increasing the diversity of those choosing to study engineering. This paper focuses on girls’ engagement in engineering. Data is from a survey of girls attending a university open day, and interviews with practicing female engineers. The notion of possible selves is used to explain patterns in the responses. Both prospective and participant groups indicated that family, friends, teachers and messages in the environment informed and influenced their view of what engineering involved and who could be an engineer. Practicing female engineers identified the impact of school subject choices, ‘hands-on’ and practical home experiences, and the nature of the lecturer and peer support. The paper contributes to discussions of when and how to encourage girls into engineering, offering evidence that a comprehensive approach is needed that includes the community, schools, tertiary institutions and the profession.

The author presents the figure of Aleksander Zatajewicz (1869–1936), famous Russian/Soviet ethnographer and composer. Zatajewicz was of Polish descent, in years 1904–1915 he worked in Warsaw. He became a part of history of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as he was the first to take on the challenge to collect the Kazakh and Kyrgyz melodies and folk songs and to write them down in notation. Zatajewicz zeal in this difficult task can be best illustrated by numbers. In 16 years (1920–1936) he has collected and written down 2 600 melodies and folk songs from Central Asia, Altai and Siberia, and affixed them with his own commentaries. His work is recognized and respected in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan even today
BLACK MEN COMMITTED TO MAKING ENGINEERING MORE HUMANE: A COLLABORATIVE AUTOETHNOGRAPHY OF TWO ENGINEERING EDUCATION SCHOLARS
Authors: Holly James , Lee Walter C.
Published: April 2023

Despite an abundance of scholarship on Black men in engineering, including both metanarratives of underperformance and counternarratives of success, there is scant literature written by Black men in engineering giving insight into their own experiences. Even less scholarship exists about Black men who have earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering and are now working to shift the engineering education landscape. The purpose of this paper is to critically engage the narrative surrounding "broadening participation in engineering" by closely examining the experiences of two Black male engineering education faculty aiming to make engineering more humane. Drawing on the two authors' experiences in engineering education, we use methods from collaborative autoethnography and Du Bois's notion of double consciousness to analyze our interpersonal experiences of being both Black men and discipline-based education researchers within engineering education's larger systems of power, oppression, and social privilege. In comparing and contrasting our narratives, we were able to generate a better understanding of our complicated commitment to engineering. In sharing our narratives, we intend to present a dialogic engagement that offers new insights into the sociocultural context of engineering education.
Ecological risk assessment of phthalates in the urban channels of São Vicente, Brazil
Authors: Roveri Cyntia de Cassia Muniz , Guimarães Luciana Lopes , Roveri Vinicius
Published: April 2023

Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) are a group of plasticising chemical compounds used in the plastic industry worldwide that are well known for their environmental contamination and toxicological effects as endocrine disruptors. In this work, the occurrence and preliminary ecological risk of six PAEs – namely, dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-octyl phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate – were investigated, for the first time, in five urban drainage channels located along the poor nearby neighbourhoods on the outskirts of São Vicente City, São Paulo, Brazil, whose diffuse loads flow continuously to the estuarine waters of this island. Of these, three congeners, DMP (<limit of detection (LOD), 0.023 μg/l), DEP (<LOD, 0.033 μg/l) and DBP (<LOD, 0.042 μg/l), were consistently quantified using gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Specifically, the DBP occurrence is a cause of environmental concern for the São Vicente estuary, because the results suggest moderate risk for algae and fishes and high ecological risk for crustaceans after acute exposure. Therefore, even at low concentrations, the occurrence of PAEs cannot be neglected in this coastal zone. In addition, the present study reinforces the need for further ecotoxicological studies (particularly with tropical marine organisms) to assess the toxicity of these bioactive compounds.

Justificativas e objetivos: as infecções relacionadas à assistência a saúde (IRAS) são um grave problema de saúde pública mundial. Ocorrem principalmente nos Centros de Terapia Intensiva (CTI), onde a estrutura física e insumos não favorecem a adesão da higienização das mãos (HM) entre os profissionais de saúde. Dessa forma, o presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever e avaliar a estrutura física e de insumos destinados à prática de HM em um CTI de um hospital público oncológico da região Norte, Pará, Brasil. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, observacional e transversal com abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário baseado no Guia para a Implementação da Estratégia Multimodal da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para a Melhoria da Higiene das Mãos. Resultados: o estudo identificou que existiam 17 leitos funcionantes e 6 interditados, além de 11 pias no local, porém apenas 5 possuíam sabão líquido e papel toalha, todas com água. Foram identificados 10 dispensadores de álcool, porém apenas 7 estavam funcionantes e reabastecidos. Nenhum dos profissionais encontrados possuíam frasco alcoólico de bolso. Conclusão: o estudo concluiu que a estrutura física e os insumos encontrados no CTI investigado estão parcialmente adequados para a realização da prática de desinfecção das mãos. Contudo, devem ser implementadas melhorias nessas estruturas, bem como auditorias periódicas e atividades de educação permanente em saúde, visando relembrar os profissionais sobre a prática de HM de forma correta.

Justificativa e objetivos: a leishmaniose visceral humana (LVH) constitui-se em persistente problema de saúde pública, configurando-se um desafio à redução de sua letalidade. Para avaliação dos fatores associados à letalidade, este estudo tem ênfase no tempo decorrido da suspeição ao tratamento de LVH, nos anos de 2015 a 2019, no município de Araguaína-TO, área de transmissão intensa. Métodos: estudo epidemiológico de série de casos com acompanhamento longitudinal, com informações extraídas das fichas de notificação e investigação de LVH. Utilizou-se o risco relativo (RR) como medida de força de associação para o óbito, sendo calculado com intervalos de confiança (IC 95%) estimados pelo Teste de Wald. Os intervalos de tempo foram representados em dias por box plot em medianas (Md). Resultados: dos 191 casos de LVH, 179 (93,72%) obtiveram cura e 12 (6,28%) apresentaram desfecho fatal. Não houve associação de risco de morte por sexo, escolaridade, raça ou cor, sendo significativa apenas por idade nas faixas etárias de adultos jovens (RR= 16,09) e idosos (RR=7,08). O tempo da suspeição ao tratamento em crianças foi mais curto (0-35 dias, Md= 12) que o de pacientes mais velhos (4-44 dias, Md=18) e naqueles que evoluíram ao óbito (7-65 dias, Md=20), realçando maior inoportunidade de cura nesses dois últimos grupos. Conclusão: o diagnóstico tardio foi um indicador determinante para piores desfechos, e cinco dias fizeram a diferença entre o grupo com desfecho para cura e o grupo dos que vieram a óbito, destacando a necessidade de encurtamento da espera para tratamento.

Justificativa e Objetivos: avaliar o perfil epidemiológico de pacientes diagnosticados com pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica (PAVM) em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) e investigar a adequação dos cuidados de enfermagem. Métodos: estudo quantitativo de coorte, retrospectivo, aplicado na UTI de um hospital do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Envolveu 100% dos prontuários de pacientes com mais de 20 anos de idade, no ano de 2019, que desenvolveram PAVM. Resultados: estiveram em ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI) 3.215 pacientes e, desses, 13 desenvolveram PAVM (2,47%). A maioria era homens (76,92%), com média de idade de 60,3 anos, cujas principais causas de internação foram problemas cardíacos (30,77%), politraumatismo (30,77%) e acidente vascular cerebral (15,39%). Os principais patógenos encontrados nos aspirados traqueais foram Acinetobacter sp (15%) e Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15%). A média de permanência na UTI foi de 30,61 dias, e foram a óbito 61,53%. Para avaliação dos cuidados de enfermagem, foi calculada a média de checklist do bundle de PAVM, aplicados, conforme a quantidade de dias em VMI. O resultado foi de 2,62 checklists por dia, sendo que a instituição preconiza quatro. Conclusão: o estudo permitiu conhecer o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com PAVM, além de observar a necessidade de melhora nos cuidados de enfermagem, considerando que a realização do checklist ficou abaixo do recomendado.
The mediating role of green trust in the effect of the preference for green products on the purchase intent of health students
Authors: Budak Olkan , Filiz Mustafa , Erdal Nurgul
Published: April 2023

Purpose- Today, sustainability is a very important concept so that future generations can live comfortable life. In this, it is very important to produce products that are compatible with nature, to trust the product or service, and to purchase them. This study was conducted to determine the mediating role of green trust in health education students' green product purchasing preferences.
Methodology- The sample of the study consists of 330 students studying in health departments. In the analysis of the data, descriptive, explanatory factor, confirmatory factor, correlation and regression analyzes were performed.
Findings- There is a significant relationship between green product preference and all sub-dimensions of green product preference (attitude, environmental concern, environmental knowledge, subjective rules) and green product purchase intention. There is a significant relationship between green product preference and green product trust in all sub-dimensions of green product preference (attitude, environmental concern, environmental knowledge, subjective rules). There is a significant relationship between trust in green products and purchasing green products. In the sub-dimensions of students' green product preferences and green product preferences (attitude, environmental concern, environmental knowledge), the effect on green product purchasing also has a mediating effect on the level of trust in green products. However, subjective rules do not have a mediating effect on green product purchasing, nor does the level of trust in green products.
Conclusion- This study aims to increase the awareness of green products and green trust, which is important in sustainability, on purchasing behavior, especially among young people, and to make this a behavior. Thus, a comfortable life can be provided for future generations.

S. Kierkegaard and K. Schmitt: the Eternal Repetition of the Same Political
Authors: Soloviev Artem
Published: April 2023

The review considers the main statements of Vladimir Bashkov’s research on the influence of S. Kierkegaard’s philosophy on the political concept of K. Schmitt. The review notes that the author consistently draws structural parallels between their ideas. It is determined that there is a “translation” of Kierkegaard’s images and conceptual row into Schmitt’s conceptual language in Bashkov’s study, As the best example of the connection between their ideas, the review suggests considering the connection of Schmitt’s criticism of “political romanticism” with Kierkegaard’s criticism of the aesthetic attitude from the ethical side. Also, the undoubted advantage of Bashkov’s book is the discovery of a common search for “authentic” by both Kierkegaard and Schmitt. The review also notes that the disadvantages of the study, which includes both the lack of consideration of some modern research on issues close to the topic of the book and the fact that the author eventually associates about the need to search for the “authentic” with Kierkegaard and Schmitt, which deprives him of distance in relation to the subject of research, turning him from a researcher to a follower of Kierkegaard and Schmitt. According to the reviewer, this is what leads the author to positivize the dictatorship. However, at the same time, the review notes that the positive side of the study is the justification of the possibility of the instrumentalization of Kierkegaard’s and Schmitt’s concepts.

How should we do Central Asian history today? Our response to Isabel Ohayon, Julien Thorez, and Tomohiko Uyama
Authors: Chokobaeva Aminat , Shelekpayev Nari
Published: April 2023

This text is a response to Isabelle Ohayon, Julien Thorez, and Tomohiko Uyama, who commented on our essay that was published two years ago in this journal. We argue that “tactical essentialism,” embraced by Central Asian scholarly communities to circumvent external academic and political pressure, is not equivalent to biological primordialism. We also discuss the commemoration of the 1916 uprising in Kyrgyzstan to demonstrate how the production of history in Central Asia involves the participation of local communities. The socio-historical agenda in the region is fluid and is not dictated solely by the state, as our interlocutors suggest.

DIBENZO-18-CROWN-6/POLYCAPROLACTONE COMPOSITE NANOFIBERS FOR SELECTIVE ADSORPTION OF CATIONS
Authors: KALAOĞLU ALTAN Özlem İpek
Published: April 2023

Electrospun nanofibers are attractive alternatives to traditional adsorbents due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, porosity, and loading capacity. Functionalization of nanofibers with macrocycles can contribute to further enhancement in selective adsorption of ions. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers were functionalized with a crown ether, namely dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6), and the potential of the resultant electrospun PCL/DB18C6 nanofibers for selective ion adsorption, particularly the selective recovery for K+, was investigated. The morphology, chemical structure and thermal properties of PCL/DB18C6 nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The average diameter of PCL/DB18C6 nanofibers was 529±196 nm. Single-ion adsorption experiments indicated that the adsorption capacity for K+ ion was 137 mg·g−1 and the selectivity sequence was found as K+>Ca2+>Na+. The adsorption selectivity coefficients of K+/Ca2+ and K+/Na+ were calculated respectively as 1.37 and 4.28 for single ion experiments and as 1.13 and 5.11 for mixed ion adsorptions which illustrate that the difference between the adsorption capacities of K+ and Ca2+ decreased in mixed ion adsorption experiments. Overall results demonstrate that the electrospun PCL/DB18C6 nanofibers are amenable for use as polymer adsorbents for the selective ion recovery.
