Authors: Roztorhuy M. , Detko A. , Huley K. , Havrylenko M. , Borovyk Y.
Published: January 2023

The problem of improving the technical training of powerlifters has been considered in a large number of scientific studies, and in general, technical training as a significantly significant factor is one of the most studied aspects of the training of athletes in the general theory of training. At the same time, most works devoted to various aspects of technical training of powerlifters relate to the equipment division. The study of technical training of athletes in the classic division, which is a relatively young type of powerlifting, remains outside the attention of researchers. The problem of compliance of the technique of competitive exercises with anthropometric features and the level of flexibility development of powerlifters is an important task of modern sports practice. The goal is to identify the relationship between flexibility indicators, anthropometric features and the technique of squats in high- class powerlifters. To solve the set goal, we used the following research methods: analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction, extrapolation, generalization of practical experience, pedagogical methods (observation). On the basis of pedagogical observation, it was established that the choice of the style of placement of the barbell on the shoulders and the width of the leg rack during the first competitive exercise is influenced by the anthropometric features of powerlifters and the level of flexibility development. Most elite athletes use a low barbell position on the shoulders when performing barbell squats, indicating that a low barbell position on the shoulders is more effective than a high barbell position. Analysis of the results of the study confirms that the majority of high-end powerlifters use more of the average width of the leg rack when performing squats on the shoulders. The number of athletes who perform squats on their shoulders in a wide stance increases as the nominal weight category increases.
Heart rate variability in athletes with symptoms of non-functional overload
Authors: Shevets V.
Published: January 2023

The article examines the effect on heart rate variability (HRV) indices in athletes depending on training status, different types of physical exertion, gender and age, presented in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Also included is the predictability of HRV during overtraining, athletic condition, and athletic performance. Heart rate variability (HRV) has long been used as a diagnostic marker of overexertion and overtraining. A large body of evidence shows that in athletes of all ages, regular aerobic training usually results in significant improvements in total and instantaneous HRV. These changes, which are accompanied by a significant decrease in heart rate both at rest and during submaximal exercise, reflect an increase in autonomic efferent activity and a shift in favor of enhanced vagal modulation of heart rate. At present, the available data do not allow us to draw definitive conclusions about the usefulness of traditional HRV indices for evaluating the performance of physical exercises and monitoring the training load. The discrepancies in the results published so far are due to several factors, including insufficient study size and design, and different HRV methods. It also remains to be seen whether traditional HRV indices will be useful for diagnosing overexertion and overtraining.

Published: January 2023

Introduction. Nowadays participants in the business and social life face challenges in the context of the sustainability and the social responsibility. The only way to successfully overcome them is by all of them working together in one direction at all levels and in all fields. All efforts to harmoniously achieve the goals of sustainable development by the various communities of the planet are extremely relevant today and will continue in the future. Higher accounting and economic education are in support of sustainability, management of natural resources and social responsibility.
Aim and tasks. The aim of the research is to analyze the possibilities for further development of economic solutions in the context of application integration approaches with care for our unique planet and its riches for the future. The tasks of the research find expression in: 1) to prove the need to pay attention to the issues of sustainable development when making decisions about the economy; 2) to analyze the essence and principles of an up-to-date concept for a sustainable way of doing business and management of natural resources; 3) to indicate the path that business and society shall take in order to develop responsibly; 4) to prove the importance of developing an international and national strategy for corporate social responsibility.
Results. The data shows that today it is required that the specialist with a higher economic and accounting degree possess knowledge and competences for the quality realization of reporting, controlling, and other activities in the private and public sectors. Specifically, the investments in new knowledge and competences of such specialists in the context of sustainability, management of natural resources, and social responsibility create prerequisites for a more competitive and resilient business. At the same time, the data shows that the degree of balance between the three aspects (social, economic, and environmental) and the whole direction of higher education towards the problems of sustainable development as of this moment is not satisfactory.
Conclusions. The dominant idea is that successful implementation of flexible educational schemes, accelerated digital transformation, and full adaptation to relevant business challenges (the practice) will result in the establishment of a new model of educational policy that will contribute to the successful realization of sustainability, natural resource management, and social responsibility.

Review on Animal Diseases Resistance and Adaptation Improvement through Molecular Genetics
Authors: Bekele Anmut
Published: January 2023

This review is conducted to highlight the application of molecular genetics for improvement of diseases resistance in livestock. Diseases prevention is a serious issue to restrict economic damage due to economically important diseases outbreaks worldwide. Over the last decades, the excessive use of drugs has been criticised because of the possible development of drug-resistant zoonotic organisms and the potential dangers of drug residues in food animal products for human consumption. To prevent this problem following the ways for host resistance improvement to disease is a low cost and sustainable approach. So, this literature review was done on the theory of how to use molecular markers to select for quantitative trait loci (QTL) in genetic improvement programs, both within populations and for introgression of QTL from one population to another. If the effect of each marker is known, then an animal with no available phenotype for disease can be genotyped and its direct genomic value can be estimated based on its genotype only. The advantage of such a method is that accurate estimates of genetic merit can be achieved exploiting knowledge of the genotype of the animal even if the animal is very young. So, it is possible to put recommendation for further research on the generation of phenotypes that are resistant to diseases and development accurate bio-markers that can be readily measured in large numbers of animals at a relatively low cost.

THE PHENOMENON «DEONTOLOGY» IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE IT INDUSTRY SPECIALISTS
Authors:   Rivne State University of Humanities, SHLIKHTA Ganna
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the study of the «deontology» phenomenon, highlights the fundamental role of the deontological aspect in the professional training of future specialists in the IT industry. A fair consequence is the growing attention to the educational component of forming a corps of specialists in the field of computer sciences and information technologies. The basic thesis of our research is the high-quality professional training of IT specialists, which is impossible without the formation of an axiological culture and a deontological type of thinking. So, the purpose of the article is to prove the thesis that high-quality professional training of specialists in the IT industry is impossible without the formed deontological competence. The basic research thesis is confirmed by the scientific materials of philosophers and modern researchers. In scientific practice, several terms are used simultaneously to denote the corresponding section of ethics: deontology, ethics of duty, theory of what is proper. In our reasoning, we will mainly use the term "deontology", which at one time was introduced into scientific circulation by the British thinker Jeremy Bentham in the 1834 work "Deontology or the Science of Morality".

Authors: Ahmed Ghufran , Abbas Sheer , Kasuri Muhammad Ramzan
Published: January 2023

The Criminal law is the strongest arm of all the normative systems of society which saves the society from evils, punishes the criminals, curbs, and prevents crimes in the society, frees it of crime or makes continuous efforts to keep it at bay or at least makes offences unattractive, unpleasant, hateful, and unaccepted activity in our society. The criminal procedure is criminal justice in action. The failure of the procedural law means failure of the social goals set by society. With the help of qualitative research methodology, this article discusses the importance of criminal procedural law in the administration of the Criminal Justice System (CJS). It points out the two types of criminal procedural laws in Pakistan; constitutional and ordinary. It also analyses the current situation of the CJS of Pakistan. It also highlights the major problems in the criminal procedure of Pakistan and pointed out the need of revamping the criminal procedure.

Endoscopic resection of a giant colloid cyst in the velum interpositum: illustrative case
Authors: Arjipour Mahdi , Gharib Mohammad , Eftekharian Mohamadmehdi
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Colloid cysts are an unusual differential diagnosis for lesions in the lateral ventricles. Microsurgery is usually recommended for the treatment of giant colloid cysts. This case is the largest reported colloid cyst in this unusual location treated with an endoscope.

OBSERVATIONS

A 39-year-old woman with a history of pulsing headaches presented with nausea, vomiting, vision blurring, and paresthesia of the left leg. On the brain computed tomography, a huge, well-defined homogeneous hyperdense intraventricular lesion with hydrocephalus was observed. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a spherical lesion over the third ventricle inside the lateral ventricles, obstructing the Sylvius aqueduct. There was no enhancement and no diffusion restriction on diffusion-weighted images. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy was undertaken for hydrocephalus treatment. Then the lesion was resected grossly. The cyst wall was resected as much as it was safe. There was no clot or bloody product inside the lesion.

LESSONS

Colloid cyst is rarely encountered in the velum interpositum and lateral ventricles, but the authors’ giant colloid cyst case along with similar cases led to considering it out of the third ventricle. According to their experience, endoscopic removal is a safe and efficient method for colloid cyst surgery, even in giant cases.
Delayed motor weakness following peripheral nerve schwannoma resection: illustrative cases
Authors: Singh Rohin , Spinner Robert J.
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Delayed facial palsy (DFP) after vestibular schwannoma resection is a well-documented, yet poorly understood condition. The exact pathophysiological mechanisms of DFP are unknown, although diminished intraoperative nerve response has been shown to be a prognostic factor. To date, no such condition has been described in regard to peripheral nerve schwannomas.

OBSERVATIONS

Here the authors present the first reported cases of delayed motor weakness (DMW) after peripheral schwannoma resection of the ulnar nerve at the elbow and peroneal nerve in the popliteal fossa. Both patients presented with a mass lesion and radiating paresthesias and had normal motor function preoperatively. Immediately after surgical resection, the patients had full strength. Within 24 hours, both patients exhibited marked weakness that gradually resolved over the course of several weeks.

LESSONS

DMW after peripheral schwannoma resection is a rare condition likely akin to delayed facial nerve palsy after VS resection. The mechanism of this phenomenon remains unknown, although symptoms appear to self-resolve with time. A better understanding of the processes driving this condition may allow for therapies that can expedite and improve long-term outcomes.

Posługa opiekuńcza duchaków i kapucynów w Szpitalu Świętego Ducha w Rzymie w XVII-XVIII wieku
Authors: Surdacki Marian
Published: January 2023

W średniowieczu i w okresie potrydenckim szpitale jako instytucje pozostające pod zarządem kościelnym były miejscem, w którym szczególnie troszczono się o życie religijne podopiecznych. Z jednakową troską dbano w nich o fizyczne wyleczenie chorego, jak i o zbawienie jego duszy. Tak też było w rzymskim Szpitalu Świętego Ducha, ufundowanym w 1198 roku przez papieża Innocentego III. Życie religijne i duchowe jego pensjonariuszy było kształtowane przez rezydujących w nim stale kanoników regularnych Świętego Ducha, często wspomaganych przez kapłanów z innych zakonów. Szpital od początku swojego istnienia składał się z dwu instytucji – przytułku dla podrzutków i lecznicy, inaczej infirmerii. Niniejszy tekst koncentruje się na służbie oraz pracy opiekuńczej i pielęgnacyjnej wykonywanej na rzecz chorych zarówno przez miejscowych kanoników Świętego Ducha, jak i kapłanów oraz zakonników spoza szpitala, głównie kapucynów czy reformatów, których wynajmowano do pomocy świeckiemu personelowi w czasie zwielokrotnionego napływu chorych osób. Na przykład w 1759 roku do pomocy zaproszono 14 kapucynów, zaś w 1783 roku – 15. Dla rzymskiej infirmerii kanoników Świętego Ducha kapucyni stanowili swego rodzaju zaplecze, z którego zawsze można było w potrzebie korzystać, zarówno gdy chodzi o pomoc duszpasterską, jak i pielęgnacyjną. Za swoją posługę, w zależności od pełnionej funkcji i wykonywanych obowiązków, kapucyni otrzymywali odpowiednie wynagrodzenie.
Kapucyni czy reformaci, gościnnie usługujący w infirmerii świętoduskiej, dobrze wypełniali powierzoną misję dobroczynną wobec chorych, natomiast niemal zupełnie od swojej pierwotnej reguły odeszli sami kanonicy regularni Świętego Ducha. W omawianym okresie praktycznie porzucili opiekuńcze obowiązki względem chorych, koncentrując się na pełnieniu funkcji administracyjnych. Już w XVII wieku ich praca charytatywna była zaniedbywana i budziła wiele zastrzeżeń, jeszcze gorzej było w następnym stuleciu, kiedy w dokumentach spotyka się jedynie wezwania do przestrzegania charyzmatu zakonnego z czasów średniowiecznej fundacji. Chorzy mogli wtedy liczyć już wyłącznie na personel świecki, wspomagany przez obcych zakonników. A przecież według założyciela zakonu Guidona z Montpellier, jak i papieża Innocenty III, który zatwierdził zakon, jego członkowie mieli przede wszystkim sprawować opiekę nad chorymi. Pierwszym i obowiązkowym etapem na drodze do życia zakonnego był nowicjat, polegający na rocznej posłudze chorym w szpitalu zakonnym. 
Zaniedbywanie, wręcz unikanie posługi chorym stawało się z czasem zjawiskiem permanentnym w postawie kanoników Świętego Ducha. Źródła z kolejnych lat potwierdzają, że bezpowrotnie odeszli oni od pierwotnej reguły i charyzmatu, spychając swoje powinności na zewnętrznych zakonników i służbę świecką. Opuściwszy sale szpitalne i chorych, duchacy koncentrowali swoje wysiłki na kumulowaniu beneficjów i utrzymywaniu najwyższych stanowisk administracyjnych w szpitalu. Nigdy już nie powrócili do pierwotnej reguły i czynnej pracy opiekuńczej z chorymi.

Religious or Spiritual? Empirical Manifestations of Contemporary Changes in Poles’ Self-Declarations and Media Representations
Authors: Szymczak Wioletta , Szulich-Kałuża Justyna
Published: January 2023

This paper comprises part of the current research on the phenomenon of new spirituality, conducted within the sociology of religion and social communication and media sciences. It aims to analyze selected manifestations of the new spirituality entering into the religious sphere of a religiously homogeneous society based on the example of Poland. A complementary application of quantitative and qualitative methods was proposed. The subject of the analysis is the results of a representative survey in which Poles define themselves in terms of religiosity and spirituality, with examples of their search for content on a new spirituality through online resources using the assumptions of the theory of social representations. The above concept resulted in the bipartite structure of the main part of the article. It was preceded by a theoretical introduction synthetically presenting phenomena identified as key features of new spirituality and ended with a discussion of the results and conclusions. The analyses indicate that, in Polish society, the category of phenomena and processes classified as new spirituality is distinguishable but complex and diverse. In the subsequent stages of the analysis, their socio-demographic determinants were shown, and then the media representations of the new spirituality were identified, categorized, and put into typologies.

Authors: Singh Veenita , Keswani Ekta , Venkateshwar Gokul , Navlakha Komal , Singh Shambhavi
Published: January 2023

Introduction: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the most active joint of the body. Limitations of the mouth opening can be caused by bony or fibrous ankylosis of the TMJ as a sequela to trauma, infection, autoimmune disease or failed surgery. A significant effect of TMJ ankylosis is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which can progressively worsen and the symptoms associated with OSA can dominate sidelining the primary disorder itself. Aim/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the use of conventional rotary bur technique and piezosurgery unit for gap arthroplasty in TMJ ankylosis. Method Used: Twenty patients were examined clinically and radiologically for the treatment. Out of the twenty patients, ten patients were operated using conventional rotary bur technique (Group A) and the remaining ten patients were operated using piezosurgery unit (Group B). Two major parameters that is blood loss and duration of surgery were evaluated intraoperatively and other parameters like pain, mouth opening, swelling and paraesthesia were evaluated on Post Operative Day (POD)-1, 5, 10, 15. Result: We observed that there was a significant reduction in blood loss intraoperatively with the piezosurgery unit though the operating time was prolonged. Post-operative physiotherapy had increased the inter-incisal distance in both groups. Pain levels and swelling were significantly higher in Group A. Other complications like paresthesia were not observed in either of the groups. Conclusion: This comparative study suggests piezosurgery can be a valuable alternative method to the bur technique due to its efficacy in the evaluated parameters.
EFFECT OF COBALT DOPING AND ANNEALING ON PROPERTIES OF MANGANESE OXIDE THIN FILMS PREPARED USING JET NEBULIZER SPRAY PYROLYSIS TECHNIQUE
Authors: S. Saranya  , N. Sethupathi  , P. Mahalingam
Published: January 2023

The controlled deposition and post-deposition treatments are fundamental steps in the synthesis of thin films in the range of nanometer to several micrometers in thickness for various applications. Because the uniform coating of nano-particles of doped metal oxide modifies the properties of metal oxide, thin films of cobalt-doped manganese oxide are prepared using the Jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis procedure at a temperature of 300°C in this study. The thin films are annealed in an air environment for two hours at various temperatures, including 350°C, 450°C, and 550°C. Cobalt thin films were produced and annealed for two hours at 550 °C in the air before being tested. The effect of annealing temperature and atomic percentage content of dopant cobalt in manganese oxide thin film on their properties were characterized by XRD, photoluminescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopic technique, scanning electron microscopy, and EDX. The characterization of the thin film reveals that these thin films are made up of uniformly coated doped metal oxide particles with (002) plan as a preferential orientation of crystal growth and band gap energy in the span of 2.5 -1.65 eV. The sensing property of the thin films towards ethanol was also characterized.

Lichens are symbiotic organisms that have been traditionally used for treating different kinds of ailments. Heterodermia boryi is a common foliose lichen found growing luxuriantly in the Western Ghats. It is clear from the literature survey that there are no reports on the isolation and biological activity of lichen substances from Heterodermia boryi, we thought of exploring the anticancer activity of its crude extract and isolated compounds. Fractionation of crude methanolic extract of Heterodermia boryi by column chromatography led to the isolation of three pure compounds. The crude methanolic extract and isolated compounds were screened for in vitro cytotoxic activity against three different human cancer cell lines such as breast (MCF-7), lung (H1975), and colon (HCT-116). Isolated compounds with the highest activity were further evaluated for their ability to induce apoptosis by dual staining method on the MCF-7 cell line. Molecular docking studies were carried out to study the ability of isolated compounds to interact with Mitogen-activated protein kinases- 2 (Mnk2). The isolated compounds were characterized as methyl haematommate (HKB-1), atraric acid (HKB-4), and zeorin (HKB-6) by spectral methods. Among the isolated compounds, HKB-1 and HKB-6 exhibited superior IC50 values of 11.1 µg/ml and 17.02 µg/ml respectively. Dual staining of MCF-7 cells treated with HKB-1 and HKB-6 at 10 µg/ml displayed early signs of apoptosis. Molecular docking studies revealed excellent binding affinity and interaction of HKB-1 with the binding site residues of Mnk2 and were comparable with that of the co-crystallized ligand staurosporine indicative of their possible role as Mnk2 inhibitors.

Sildenafil has FDA approval as the first agent for erectile dysfunction oral therapy. It works by inhibiting the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme and preventing the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Therefore, this study aims to modify the structure of sildenafil to obtain a safer derivative with better phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibition activity. An interaction assessment using molecular docking and dynamic simulation (in silico) was carried out to evaluate the interaction affinity of the derivatives with the phenyl moiety, which has different substituents for PDE5. The results showed that the removal of 4-methylpiperazine-sulfonyl and methoxy from the moiety as well as the addition of propyl ether in the para position led to significant changes in pharmacokinetic properties and affinity toward PDE5. This substituent enables two hydrogen interactions between the Gln817 amino acid residue and the pyrazolopyrimidine ring with a binding energy of -115.65 kJ/mol. Through the reduction of competitive interference for H-bonding with water, these interactions indicate the presence of a higher affinity protein-ligand association. Furthermore, the root-mean-square deviation profile of this sildenafil derivative-PDE5 complex was significantly lower compared to the other five ligand-enzyme complexes, and this indicates a stable conformation.

El ecosistema mediático digital se ha estandarizado como referencia preeminente de ocio y entretenimiento. Su exponencial oferta resulta accesible de forma inmediata, ubicua y constante a través de dispositivos conectados, y ello ha diluido la efectividad de los sistemas de orientación sobre la idoneidad o inconveniencia de contenidos para niños y adolescentes. Esta investigación revisa, ordena y sistematiza los criterios e indicadores de los modelos de clasificación por edades en la televisión, el cine, las plataformas de streaming de video y los videojuegos utilizados en España, Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania, Italia y Portugal, seis países europeos con entornos socioculturales y estructuras de mercado asimilables. El estudio constata notables diferencias en la definición y categorización según los medios y territorios; además, pone de relieve la necesidad de redefinir las bases semánticas, estéticas y técnicas sobre las que construir un modelo común de recomendaciones compatible con todos los contenidos digitales, al margen del tipo de soporte o la tecnología de distribución; sólo así se podrá promover un consumo activo que fomente el pensamiento crítico y la educación mediática digital en niños y jóvenes.
Las fake news y su percepción por parte de los jóvenes españoles: el influjo de los factores sociodemográficos

Desde hace algo más de un lustro, las fake news se han convertido en un fenómeno global que incide de modo determinante en los flujos comunicativos mundiales. Dado que el canal prioritario a través del cual se difunden son las redes sociales, cabe pensar que los jóvenes, principales usuarios de estas aplicaciones, constituyen el colectivo más expuesto a ellas. En este trabajo se analiza, partiendo de un muestreo representativo de los individuos residentes en España de entre 15 y 24 años (n=1.068), la percepción que los jóvenes tienen de las fake news, atendiendo a la frecuencia con que las reciben, sus temáticas y fuentes más habituales y el modo en que se enfrentan a ellas, teniendo en cuenta cómo influyen en su recepción factores sociodemográficos como el sexo, la edad, el hábitat, la ideología o el nivel formativo. Entre otras constataciones, los resultados evidencian que cuanto mayor es la edad y el nivel formativo, mayores son las tasas de reconocimiento y verificación de noticias falsas; que es más habitual contrastar las informaciones entre los individuos que viven en grandes municipios; y que quienes se sitúan a la derecha del espectro ideológico verifican con menor frecuencia que el resto de jóvenes.
