Authors:   Moscow State Regional University, Garashkina Natalia V. , Druzhinina Anastasia A. ,   Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The relevance of the research is conditioned by the needs of education in development of innovative approaches providing high-quality competence training of future pedagogues. The forms of blended learning have a potential to strengthen the subjectivity and optimisation in the process of personal and professional development of students, but they are applied fragmentarily in higher pedagogical education and are not systematically explored. Purpose of the research: development of a model of personal and professional development of students – future pedagogues with the use of blended learning forms as well as testing its effectiveness in the course of experimental work. Materials and methods. The experiment involved 54 students, future bachelors of pedagogical profile studying at Moscow State Regional University (Russian Federation). Methods: testing, students’ self-assessment and peer assessment, expert evaluation of students’ personal and professional development by teachers. Statistical methods: Mann-Whitney U-test. Results. The model of personal and professional growth of students – future pedagogues was developed with the use of the forms of blended learning – as a set of components (value/target focused, organisational/managerial, design/technological) and stages (informational/stimulating, productive/activity based, evaluative/reflexive) integrating students’ personal activity, students’ joint activity and teachers’ activity as subjects of electronic educational environment. It was revealed that the application of the developed model of personal and professional development of students – future pedagogues with the use of the forms of blended learning showed efficiency in the development of competence parameters: academic proficiency, involvement and motivation of future educators (U = 187; p < 0.01). Conclusion. The novelty of the research lies in the elaboration of a model for personal and professional development of students with the use of the forms of blended learning, as well as of a complex of supporting content and assignments for group and independent work. The results can be used for designing of educational technologies based on the developed model, for other areas and levels of higher education.

Education is something that cannot be separated from human life. With a good education will certainly create a good generation as well. In its implementation, education certainly encounters various problems, both formal and non-formal education. Non-formal education such as the Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ) is a level of education that focuses on learning the Qur'an. The learning or material provided will affect the development of students' knowledge. However, giving the right material is not an easy thing. This is due to the lack of human resources (teachers). In addition, other problems faced such as lack of motivational support from the guardians of students, inconsistent application of the method, and the lack of material for recitation and makharijul letters. This study aims to find out how important it is to provide materials or methods as well as motivational support from the guardians of students to support the ability of students to learn and apply the values â€‹â€‹contained in the Qur'an properly. This study uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method by engaging and directly involved in teaching and learning activities at TPQ. Guidance related to the provision of appropriate materials and methods, which are tailored to the existing problems to students. As well as guidance for educators is carried out by assisting teaching and learning activities so that learning is more varied and able to improve the reading of the students well. Furthermore, opening a gathering forum with the guardians of students with the intention of socializing the urgency of TPQ non-formal education

НОВИЙ ЕТОС ДЛЯ ЄВРОПИ: МИКЛУХО-МАКЛАЙ (РЕФЛЕКСІЇ ЗА ТВОРОМ ІВАНА КОРСАКА)
Authors: Скакальська Ірина
Published: September 2022

У статті розглядається творчість письменника Івана Корсака, зокрема, його роман «Запізніле кохання Миклухо-Маклая». Постать М. Миклухо-Маклая вражає широким кругозором, вірністю науковим дослідженням, цілеспрямованістю та гуманізмом. Саме він відкрив новий етос заокеанських народів для Європи, порушив питання збереження їхньої цивілізації, виступав проти жорстокої колонізації. Простежено прагнення героя роману розумово освоїти будь-який куточок світу. Показано новий етос папуаських племен для Європи. Розкрито зміст і практичну реалізацію Миклухо-Маклаєм громадського служіння як певної системи ціннісно-світоглядних і моральних установок, що реалізовувалися ним через повсякденні практики його досліджень та вивченням інших народів. Світ давніх племен обороняється, використовуючи усі свої резерви: самобутність, культуру. Разом з Іваном Корсаком спостерігаємо, як спільноті тубільних народів, які зникали з лиця землі, історія влаштувала пастку ‒ антропологічну парадигму формування ідеології глобалізації. У творі чітко прослідковується патріотизм самого письменника, який зумів зобразити і передати такий образ видатного вченого і мандрівника, що українцям варто пишатися і популяризувати праці М. Миклухо-Маклая. Важливим є те, що місце науки в культурі та історії, її особливості, протягом різних історичних епох залишаються постійними об’єктами філософського осмислення та інтерпретації. Автор роману детально у творі зупинявся на наукових дослідженнях ученого. Методологія праці складається з таких інтелектуальних підходів, як системно-структурний, міждисциплінарний та порівняльний методи. У висновках підкреслено значення творчого доробку волинського письменника. Його вміння переконливо описати історичну епоху: відбувається вдале поєднання фахової майстерності та таланту літератора. Читачі спостерігають, як, з одного боку, творилася нова історія з пізнання інших народів Нової Гвінеї, Океанії тощо, а з іншого – наставав кінець їхньої історії, яку було знищено з приходом «білих» людей. Як виняток – Миклухо- Маклай, який привертав увагу до проблем загублених цивілізацій.
ІСТОРИЧНА ПАМ’ЯТЬ У ТВОРАХ ІВАНА КОРСАКА
Authors: Стрільчук Людмила
Published: September 2022

У запропонованій статті аналізуються формування та корекція історичної пам’яті у романах Івана Федосійовича Корсака, волинського прозаїка, публіциста, журналіста. Корсак мені був цікавий як особистість. Людина, яка «сама себе зробила». Яка вміла працювати на результат. Яка досягала успіхів. І яка, навіть коли виникали чималі труднощі, вміла їх переборювати. І головне – це була людина, діяльність якої мала конструктивний характер. Події, що сталися після розвалу Радянського Союзу, докорінно змінили не лише геополітичну ситуацію в Європі та світі, а й призвели до зміни акцентів у підходах до розуміння та вивчення історичної минувшини. Тож на повістці денній новопосталої, на початку 90-х років ХХ століття, України особливої актуальності набули питання вивчення національної, замовчуваної раніше, історії, формування спільної колективної пам’яті, конструювання нових схем національної ідентичності. Враження від життя, роздуми про нелегку долю простих людей, сільських трудівників Іван Феодосійович описував у своїх новелах. А з часом його заполонила історична тематика, біографії українських діячів. Будучи автором двох десятків історичних романів, І. Корсак береться за дослідження маловідомих фактів української історії, життєвих цінностей та долі визначних громадських і культурних діячів, ставши одним із сучасних українських прозаїків, який поряд з істориками та публіцистами взявся за важливу і водночас складу справу – формування національної історичної пам’яті та ідентичності через літературу, доносячи до широкого загалу замовчувані у радянський період історичні факти, розкриваючи значущі події національної історії, розвиваючи біографістику як напрям наукових досліджень.
РЕГЛАМЕНТАЦІЯ ЧИТАННЯ В ІМПЕРСЬКІЙ РОСІЇ (ХІХ – ПОЧАТОК ХХ СТ.)
Authors: Карліна Оксана
Published: September 2022

У статті розглянуто сукупність правил та заходів, які встановлювали норми споживання легальної інформації з метою певного впливу на читачів, а також проаналізовано адміністративні та бюрократичні перешкоди, що виникали на шляху доступу визначених соціальних груп до певної літератури. Джерельною базою слугували нормативно-правові акти міністерств і Святійшого Синоду. Одним зі способів обмеження кола читачів було платне користування публічними бібліотеками, які вирізнялися багатим книжковим фондом. Із кінця ХІХ ст. розширення соціального поля читачів через появу масових бібліотек, земських книжкових складів, народних шкіл стимулювало перетворення державної регламентації читання в окремий напрям внутрішньої політики, яку реалізувало, головним чином, Міністерство народної освіти. У його підпорядкуванні знаходилися школи для різних соціальних станів, при яких виникали бібліотеки для широкого кола читачів. Уряд, усвідомлюючи значущість друкованого слова як засобу впливу, особливо на соціальні низи, намагався поставити його під контроль. Найпоширенішим способом регламентації читання був нагляд за бібліотеками: публічними, народними та навчальних закладів. Книжкові заклади підлягали контролю з боку Міністерства народної освіти. Практикувалася дозвільна система допуску літератури в бібліотеки. Урядові розпорядження і каталоги для безкоштовних бібліотек пропускали з маси друкованої літератури лише суворо дозовану частку «благонадійних» книг для широкого кола читачів. Численні циркуляри Міністерства народної освіти визначали правила набуття літератури в учительські, учнівські, народні бібліотеки та бібліотеки-читальні. Перевага надавалася книжкам релігійно-морального змісту, офіційним і довідковим виданням міністерств; художня література займала майже половину пропонованих каталогів, але творчість письменників була представлена переважно одним-двома творами. Після 1905 р. дозвільну систему допуску літератури у бібліотеки-читальні на деякий час скасували, дещо спростили відкриття та функціонування народних бібліотек, увели заявковий порядок організації народних читань, але центральна влада прагнула й надалі сама визначати доцільність або небажаність конкретної літератури для соціальних, вікових або фахових спільнот.
МЕТОДОЛОГІЯ ВИВЧЕННЯ РЕЛІГІЙНОЇ САМОСВІДОМОСТІ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦІВ
Authors: Демський В. В. , Москалець В. П.
Published: September 2022

Дослідження питання вивчення релігійної самосвідомості військовослужбовців зумовлена впровадженням інституту військового капеланства у структуру силових відомств держави. А також необхідності пошуку нових ресурсів щодо збереження психічного здоров’я комбатантів. У статті проаналізовано основні дослідницькі підходи в психологічній науці щодо вивчення релігійної самосвідомості особистості. Теоретично розглянуто наступні дослідницькі підходи до вивчення релігійної самосвідомості військовослужбовців: історичний, порівняльний, контекстуальний і психолого-герменевтичний. Встановлено, що історичний підхід до розгляду релігійних феноменів полягає в тому, що їх досліджують в контексті життя суспільства, як результат певних умов існування людей. При історичному підході до релігійних феноменів вчені намагаються дослідити у діахронічному плані причини та наслідки в історії релігійних інститутів, ідей і способів дії. Порівняльний підхід до вивчення сучасної релігії передбачає виявлення загального й відмінного в різних релігіях у цей момент. Виділення груп з різною релігійною самоідентифікацією дозволяє чітко визначити особливості сучасної релігійної та атеїстичної свідомості. Контекстуальний підхід до вивчення релігії спрямований на визначення способів, через які впливають на релігію її соціальний, політичний та інший контексти. Психолого-герменевтичний підхід до вивчення сучасної релігії звертає увагу на змісти релігійних явищ й релігії для військовослужбовців або на інтерпретації, які їх дають військовослужбовці явищам і релігіям. Перспективою подальших наукових розвідок може бути вивчення питань щодо використання традиційних психологічних методів та стандартизованих методик вивчення релігійності курсантів вищих військових навчальних закладів.

Published: September 2022

У статті розглядаються зміни у психічному стані здобувачів першого, бакалаврського, та другого, магістерського, рівнів навчання за спеціальністю 053 Психологія, що виникли внаслідок війни на території України. Автори аналізують реакції майбутніх психологів на травматичні події, їх потреби та особливості взаємодії з оточуючими, а також особливості психічного стану. Розроблено психолого-педагогічні підходи до проведення навчальних занять в умовах війни. Емпіричне дослідження було проведено за допомогою спостереження, аналізу зворотного зв’язку та анкетування. Виявлено, що у студентів спостерігалися різні реакції на травматичні події: гостра реакція, психологічне виснаження, підвищена емоційність, максимальна чутливість до екзістенційних питань, бажання виговоритися, поділитись власними думками та враженнями. Також було виявлено великий ризик виникнення конфліктних ситуацій у зв’язку з максимальним ступенем поляризації в суспільстві та засудженням спроб зайняти відсторонену позицію. В результаті застосування на початку занять стабілізаційних технік (дихання, заземлення), створення безпечної атмосфери в групах, проведення тренінгових та консультативних занять для усіх бажаючих здобувачів вищої освіти, емоційний стан майбутніх психологів поліпшився. Вони почали краще витримувати загальну невизначеність повсякденного існування, у них з’явилось більше інструментів для самостійного розуміння навколишніх подій та прояснення власної життєвої ситуації. Здобувачі вищої освіти також відмітили відновлення їхньої здатності до повноцінної участі у начальному процесі. Особливу увагу авторами також приділено розкриттю змісту універсальної професійної позиції викладача психологічних дисциплін, яка передбачає поєднання позицій педагога, фасилітатора, психолога-консультанта та ведучого груп психологічної допомоги.

Phytoplasma diseases are found affecting vegetables in Eastern Visayas, Philippines. Identifying the insect vectors that transmit phytoplasma in the field is necessary for the management of this disease. This study was conducted to identify the vectors of phytoplasma affecting bitter gourd, loofah, and string beans. Insects associated with these vegetables that had shown phytoplasma symptoms in the field were collected, mass-reared, and the progenies of mass reared insects were used for transmission to healthy host plants. Phytoplasma detection was done through PCR and nest PCR assays. Phytoplasma was positively transmitted to healthy bitter gourd plants by a cicadellid leafhopper, Hishimonus sp. and brown planthopper, Ricania speculum. The ~ 1.25Kb phytoplasma-specific band was amplified in these insects. The phytoplasmas transmitted by the Hishimonus sp. and R. speculum produced two different types of symptoms to the bitter gourd, and rDNA sequence analysis separated them into two clusters which confirmed that the phytoplasmas belong to two different strains. Although the Aphis gossypii and Aphis craccivora also produced symptoms in bitter gourd and string beans, and the pathogen was detected in the insects, whether they vectored phytoplasma to their respective hosts needs further study, since the symptoms produced were quite different from the ones produced by the cicadellid leafhopper and Ricania speculum.

Published: September 2022

Efforts to alleviate the productivity of marginal uplands necessitate the use of participatory approaches to identify development needs of the community. However, despite the popularity of participatory methods for assessing community resources and needs, the literature lacks information on how it works, especially in the Philippine setting. This study aimed to determine the needs of a marginal upland community and demonstrate the use of the participatory tools. Data were gathered in a marginal upland community in Samar, Philippines whose primary source of livelihood of the residents is farming. Rice is the staple food. The people's livelihood activities are beset by some threats, including scarcity of water in the area, declining soil fertility of their farms, extreme weather events, and the occurrence of pests and diseases. To augment their livelihood, the people identified livelihood projects, including food processing, vegetable farming, and animal raising. However, results of the resources vulnerability analysis indicate that the assistance needed by the community should go beyond training workshops on crop production, food processing, and animal raising. The assistance should also consider the rehabilitation of the environment, which is now highly degraded. The implementation of a Rainforestation project may be considered to raise food crops and rehabilitate the watershed of the community to address its serious problem of water scarcity. There may also be a need to identify other crops that would survive in the area given its current condition so that the people will have food sources aside from rice. This study has demonstrated that use of participatory tools allows for the collection of in-depth information on community needs and promotes active participation among the participants.

LONG AND WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP TO FECUNDITY OF CEMPEDIK FISH (Osteochilus spilurus) IN CATCHING SEASON IN THE LENGGANG RIVER, EAST BELITUNG
Authors: Kurniawan Ardiansyah , Rizkika Neri , Fakhrurrozi Yulian
Published: September 2022

The one of Belitung Island’s native fish which has important economic value is Cempedik fish (Osteochilus spilurus). Its consumption, which still relies on natural catchments, requires a study of its biology and ecology. One of the studies that have never been studied in the maturity of this species is the relationship of fecundity with fish weight - length and gonad weight. This study used samples of Cempedik fish from the Lenggang River, East Belitung which were obtained randomly from the catches of fishermen. Sampling adjusts the fishing season that occurs in the rainy season. The preparation was carried out on whole fish using 4% formalin. Calculation of fecundity gravimetrically and compared with fish lengths and gonad weights in the graph. Fecundity in 2015 was 222 – 10,947 eggs and in 2016 there were 335 – 2,060 eggs. Fish body length and weight affected the fecundity of the 2015 fish sample but had no effect on the 2016 sample. This is predicted to occur due to differences in sampling time to position and rainfall in the rainy season, availability and suitability of natural feed, and changes in habitat quality. Gonadal weight correlated with fecundity, where the higher the gonadal weight, the higher the fecundity.

Keywords: Cempedik, rainy season, maturity, fecundity.

Contract Theory, Title Transfer, and Libertarianism
Authors: Dominiak Łukasz , Fegley Tate
Published: September 2022

In the present paper we argue that the theory of contracts embraced by many libertarian scholars and relied upon by them in sundry important debates (e.g. over morality of the fractional reserve banking or loan maturity mismatching etc.), that is, the title transfer theory of contracts (TTT) should be rejected as not being able to account for the binding force of future-oriented contracts, including contracts deemed enforceable by those scholars themselves. The TTT claims that the only contracts that should be legally binding are these where the debtor’s failure to abide by them constitutes a violation of the creditor’s private property rights. However, as we argue, no default of the debtor in a future-oriented contract can in itself amount to such a violation.

Marka aşkı, pazarlama alanında son yıllarda öne çıkan konulardan birisidir. Kavram pazarlama araştırmaları tarafından kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınsa da öğrencilerin eğitim aldıkları yükseköğretim
kurumlarına aşık olması konusu hakkında bilinenler sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada, okula olan aşkın bazı öncülleri ve sonuçları araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda gerçek benlik uyumu, ideal benlik uyumu, marka itibarı ve eğitim kalitesinin okul aşkıyla olan ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, okula destek davranışı ve okulu başkalarına tavsiye etme, okul aşkının pozitif çıktıları olarak ele alınmıştır. Ankara Üniversitesi Siyasal Bilgiler Fakültesi özelinde yapılan araştırmanın verisi aynı fakülteden toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerden elde edilen 269 anket yapısal eşitlik modellemesiyle analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre; gerçek benlik uyumu, marka itibarı ve eğitim kalitesi marka aşkını pozitif yönde etkilemektedir. Ancak, ideal benlik uyumunun marka aşkı üzerinde bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Bununla birlikte, marka aşkının okula destek olma ve okulu başkalarına tavsiye etme üzerinde çok güçlü etkileri olduğu görülmüştür.

Aftereffect of lime and mineral fertilizers on soil fertility and consumption nutrients of plants during haymaking use
Authors: Chuykov Viktor , Teberdiev Dalhat , Rodionova Anna , Leonidova Tatiana , Zapivalov Sergey
Published: September 2022

The results of a long-term experience on the aftereffect of lime and mineral fertilizers on the agrochemical properties of soddy-podzolic hayfield soil, forage quality and yield are presented. In a long-term expe-riment on hayfields (85 years), lime in doses from 6 to 24 t/ha lost the ability to maintain the optimal soil regime in the variants with the annual alienation of the herbage. The use of lime in the hayfield contri-buted to the preservation of the humus content and an increase in its reserves in the soil only with a suffi-cient amount of organic matter. In this case, a lower C : N ratio is observed. With the annual mowing of the herbage, this trend was absent; mineral fertilizers, both against the background of lime and without lime, did not show a positive effect on the humus content in the soil. In the experiment, the effect of lime doses on the content of mobile forms of mineral elements was not noted. Their concentration in the soil was determined by the use of mineral fertilizers. The positive effect of the use of mineral fertilizers on the background of the aftereffect of lime was reflected in the use of mineral elements by the herbage of the hayfield. Plants did not increase nitrogen intake, but used more phosphorus –– by 25%, potassium –– by 50–60%, calcium –– by 55–60%, copper –– from 5.9 to 6.7 mg/kg, zinc –– from 32.6 to 36.2 mg/kg. Ob-servations over the past 10 years have established a gradual decrease in the effectiveness of high doses of lime on the yield of herbage: in options without fertilizers –– from 16.5 to 13.0 centners/ha, in options with mineral fertilizers –– from 17.0 to 13.5 centners/ha of dry matter.

The results of testing a domestic experimental biological additive on perennial legume grasses are pre-sented in this article. High-quality silage was obtained with new preparation on active acidity, content and ratio of organic acids, ammonia, parameters of nutrient losses. The optimal dose of application was de-termined: at ensiling the basic types of legumes — 80 ml/t, for forage galega — 100 ml/t. Under scientific and production conditions the experimental biological additive was used for ensiling alfalfa-gramineous grass mixture, that was non-ensiling raw material. The enzyme-bacterial additive Acidphast NC GOLD, produced by ''Lallemand'' Company, and the Finnish chemical preparation AIV 3 PLUS were used as the controls. The high quality of silage with a new additive was revealed on the basic organoleptic and bio-chemical parameters in comparison to feed, prepared with biological additive Acidphast NC GOLD. Then the nutritional value of obtained silage in each variant was determined in physiological experiments at feeding Romanov`s rams-valukhi when used as the only feed with addition of mineral supplements. A higher digestibility of crude fiber and fat in feeds with biological additives was found. The energy nutri-tional value of the silage with the experimental additive was 9.6 MJ metabolizable energy per 1 kg of dry matter versus 9.5 and 9.4 in feeds, prepared with Acidphast NC GOLD and chemical preservative AIV 3 PLUS respectively. Our investigations proved the high effectiveness of the experimental sample of new enzyme-bacterial additive at preservation of different species of legume grasses.

Stem cells have been shown to play an important role in regenerative medicine due to their proliferative and differentiation potential. The challenge, however, lies in regulating and controlling their potential for this purpose. Stem cells are regulated by growth factors as well as an array of biochemical and mechanical signals. While the role of biochemical signals and growth factors in regulating stem cell homeostasis is well explored, the role of mechanical signals has only just started to be investigated. Stem cells interact with their niche or to other stem cells via adhesion molecules that eventually transduce mechanical cues to maintain their homeostatic function. Here, we present a comprehensive review on our current understanding of the influence of the forces perceived by cell adhesion molecules on the regulation of stem cells. Additionally, we provide insights on how this deeper understanding of mechanobiology of stem cells has translated toward therapeutics.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) functions in two distinct complexes: mTORC1, and mTORC2. mTORC1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of flaviviruses including dengue, where it contributes to the establishment of a pro-viral autophagic state. Activation of mTORC2 occurs upon infection with some viruses, but its functional role in viral pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In this study, we explore the consequences of a physical protein-protein interaction between dengue non-structural protein 5 (NS5) and host cell mTOR proteins during infection. Using shRNA to differentially target mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes, we show that mTORC2 is required for optimal dengue replication. Furthermore, we show that mTORC2 is activated during viral replication, and that mTORC2 counteracts virus-induced apoptosis, promoting the survival of infected cells. This work reveals a novel mechanism by which the dengue flavivirus can promote cell survival to maximize viral replication.

Crucian carp (Carassius auratus) is one of the major freshwater species and is also a common food fish in China. Recently, Carassius auratus herpesvirus (CaHV) could induce fatal viral disease with high mortality of crucian carp, which had caused huge economic losses. In this study, we described a rapid and simple recombinase-aid amplification (RAA) assay coupled with lateral flow dipstick (LFD), which could achieve sensitive diagnosis of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) of CaHV within 35 min at 40°C. Our RAA-LFD method had a satisfactory detection limit of 100 gene copies per reaction, which was 100-fold more sensitive than traditional PCR. In addition, no cross-reaction was observed with other viral pathogens, including koi herpesvirus (KHV), cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) and grass carp reovirus (GCRV). Furthermore, the overall cost of the method was cut in half compared to previous studies. In conclusion, RAA-LFD assay is therefore, a promising alternative for point-of-care testing (POCT) of CaHV, which is feasible and of certain value in application of aquatic disease control.

Enterococcus faecalis is a serious problem for hospitals and can spread from patient to patient. Most of the current detection methods are associated with limitations associated with the need for trained personnel; they are also time-consuming. Thus, it is necessary to develop rapid and accurate detection methods to control the spread of E. faecalis. In this study, we developed a rapid and accurate detection method for E. faecalis using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with a lateral flow strip (LFS). This method could be completed in approximately 35 min at 37°C. The limit of detection was 10 CFU/µL, irrespective of whether the templates were pure or complex. This method also showed good specificity and compatibility. In total, 278 clinical samples were tested using the RPA-LFS method; the detection accuracy was equal to that of the conventional qPCR method. This visualized isothermal amplification method could be useful for the future on-site detection of E. faecalis.

Background

Lower cardiac index (CI) in elders has been associated with incident dementia, and higher CI has protectively effect with brain aging. In the present study, we investigated the modulating effects of education level and arterial stiffness on the association between CI and cognitive function among older adults.

Methods

A total of 723 elders (≥60 years, 50.1% women) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (≥50%) were identified from the Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factor Two-Township Study. CI was calculated from the Doppler-derived stroke volume. We evaluated arterial stiffness by measuring carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) and global cognitive function by using the Mini-Mental Short Examination (MMSE). Education level was determined by years of formal education.

Results

In linear regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, formal years of education, and CFPWV, CI was significantly positively associated with MMSE (BETA=0.344±0.130, P = 0.0082). In logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, formal years of education, and CFPWV, subjects with a CI≥75 percentile had a significantly lower risk of low MMSE (<26) (OR = 0.495, 95% CI = 0.274–0.896, P = 0.02). In subgroup analysis, higher CI was significantly associated with higher MMSE and lower risk of low MMSE only in elders with ≤ 9 years of formal education. Causal mediation analysis suggests that higher CI maintains higher MMSE in elders with lower education levels whereas higher CFPWV causes lower MMSE in all the elders.

Conclusion

In elders with normal ejection fraction, a higher CI was associated with a lower risk of cognitive function impairment, independent of arterial stiffness, mainly in subjects with a lower education level and possibly a smaller cognitive reserve.

Published: September 2022

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate the associations between admission hyperglycemia and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with or without diabetes, to find optimal admission glucose intervention cut-offs, and to clarify the shape of the dose–response relations.

Methods

Medline/PubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception to 1 April 2022. Cohort studies reporting estimates of all-cause mortality risk in patients with admission hyperglycemia with AMI were included. The outcomes of interest include mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). A random effect dose–response meta-analysis was conducted to access linear trend estimations. A one-stage linear mixed effect meta-analysis was used for estimating dose–response curves. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were pooled using a random-effects model.

Results

Of 1,222 studies screened, 47 full texts were fully reviewed for eligibility. The final analyses consisted of 23 cohort studies with 47,177 participants. In short-term follow-up, admission hyperglycemia was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (relative risk: 3.12, 95% confidence interval 2.42–4.02) and MACEs (2.34, 1.77–3.09). In long-term follow-up, admission hyperglycemia was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (1.97, 1.61–2.41) and MACEs (1.95, 1.21–3.14). A linear dose–response association was found between admission hyperglycemia and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with or without diabetes.

Conclusion

Admission hyperglycemia was significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality risk and rates of MACEs. However, the association between admission hyperglycemia and long-term mortality risk needs to be determined with caution. Compared with current guidelines recommendations, a lower intervention cut-off and more stringent targets for admission hyperglycemia may be appropriate.

Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the underlying mechanisms by which lncRNAs modulate myocardial I/R injury have not been thoroughly examined and require further investigation. A novel lncRNA named lncRNA-hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-associated transcript (lncRNA-HRAT) was identified by RNA sequencing analysis. The expression of lncRNA-HRAT exhibited a significant increase in the I/R mice hearts and cardiomyocytes treated with H/R. LncRNA-HRAT overexpression facilitates H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, cardiomyocyte-specific deficiency of lncRNA-HRAT in vivo after I/R decreased creatine kinase (CK) release in the serum, reduced myocardial infarct area, and improved cardiac dysfunction. Molecular mechanistic investigations revealed that lncRNA-HRAT serves as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-370-3p, thus upregulating the expression of ring finger protein 41 (RNF41), thereby aggravating apoptosis in cardiomyocytes induced by H/R. This study revealed that the lncRNA-HRAT/miR-370-3p/RNF41 pathway regulates cardiomyocyte apoptosis and myocardial injury. These findings suggest that targeted inhibition of lncRNA-HRAT may offer a novel therapeutic method to prevent myocardial I/R injury.

While the use of mobile technologies for foreign language learning is gaining momentum, little is known about the various factors that can influence the effectiveness of mobile technologies in relation to student performance in learning a foreign language. The study aims to examine various aspects of mobile learning affecting students' satisfaction, the presumed usefulness of using mobile technologies in learning a foreign language, and students' academic performance. Achieving the established study objectives involved using a set of methods, which included theoretical, empirical, and methods of mathematical statistics for quantitative and qualitative processing of research results and statistical verification of their objectivity with Spearman's rank correlation method. The relevance of using mobile technologies in teaching foreign languages to future philologists is substantiated. An experimental study of the effect of various aspects of mobile learning on students' perceived satisfaction in learning a foreign language, their perception of the usefulness of mobile learning, and academic performance is carried out. Different aspects (individual factors) of mobile learning, such as motivation to use mobile learning, the relevance of content provided by mobile learning to student needs, the ubiquity of mobile learning, and self-efficacy, have an impact on students' perceived satisfaction in learning a foreign language and their perception of the usefulness of mobile learning, as well as academic performance. The obtained results present teachers and students with useful information on mobile learning in the context of philological education.
