Емоційне благополуччя дітей та педагогів: проблеми та практика підтримки в умовах військової агресії
Authors: Матвієнко Олена , Олефіренко Тарас
Published: June 2023

Метою нашого дослідження є теоретичне обґрунтування значимості емоційного благополуччя для повноцінного особистісного розвитку дітей. Виклики пов’язані з широкомасштабною війною, розв’язаною Російською Федерацією проти України, спричинили суттєві зміни у напрямах, формах і методах професійної діяльності педагогів, змісті професійної підготовки. Емоційне благополуччя – одна з базових якостей життя людини, важлива умова збереження фізичного та психічного здоров’я. Його фундамент закладається в дитячому віці та є необхідною умовою розвитку дитини. У нашому дослідженні розглянуто основні виклики які стоять перед системою освіти в умовах воєнного стану як-то: створення безпечного освітнього середовища для всіх учасників освітнього процесу; необхідність відновлення та ефективної організації освітнього процесу в закладах освіти в умовах воєнного стану та у повоєнний час; вирішення питання психолого-методичного та інформаційного забезпечення всіх учасників освітнього процесу системи освіти; проблема налагодження ефективної комунікації між учасниками освітнього процесу та запропоновано шляхи їх вирішення. Проведенний аналіз наукової літератури, дозволив зробити висновок, що інформаційне поле, яким оточена дитина, пронизано різними почуттями та емоціями. Емоції дають можливість отримувати той, важливий інформаційний матеріал, без якого неможливе людське спілкування. Картина світу дитини, формується завдяки саме почуттям та емоціям, які вона переживає під час спілкування та спостережень. Емоції відіграють значну роль у становленні особистісного розвитку та забезпеченні психічного благополуччя підростаючого покоління. Поряд з вивченням змісту емоційного розвитку в дитячому віці дослідники особливу увагу приділяють вивченню умов, які сприяють або перешкоджають повноцінному становленню емоційної сфери дитини. В роботах авторів показано, що цей процес не є стихійним, він відбувається в результаті цілеспрямованого виховання, що спирається на механізми онтогенезу. У зв’язку з цимстає очевидним роль дорослого в емоційному розвитку дитини. Узагальнюючи теоретичні результати дослідження можемо стверджувати що, емоційне благополуччя – базове відчуттяемоційного комфорту, що забезпечує довіру й активне ставлення до світу. Забезпечується емоційне благополуччя проявом турботи дорослого й демонстрацією дитині свого позитив-но-емоційного ставлення до неї.
Формування медіаграмотності як актуальна складова трансверсальної компетентності майбутнього педагога
Authors: Попова Людмила
Published: June 2023

У статті досліджується сутність понять «медіаграмотність» та «медіаосвіта»; обґрунтовано педагогічні умови процесу формування медіаграмотності майбутніх педагогів у сучасних закладах вищої освіти України; проаналізовано генезис становлення феномена медіаграмотності у світовій науці, її роль у формування професійних якостей майбутніх педагогів як актуальної складової трансверсальної компетентності сучасного фахівця; наведено можливі варіанти запровадження та реалізації основних принципів медіаосвітита медіаграмотності в професійній підготовці майбутніх учителів у сучасних закладах вищої педагогічної освіти.Процеси глобалізації та соціально-економічні зміни, які відбуваються в сучасній Україні, визначили нові напрями формування професійної компетентності майбутніх педагогів.Конкурентоздатність майбутніх фахівців залежить від якості оволодіння ними знаннями, культури спілкування, уміння мислити й діяти відповідно вимог сучасного ринку праці. Заклади вищої освіти покликані створити умови для підготовки фахівців інноваційного типу, які володіють трансверсальними компетентностями та здатні забезпечити особистістну трансверсальність – нову історичну форму універсальності в межах глобального світового суспільства. Сучасна система підготовки студентів у закладах вищої освіти є однією з нагальних проблем вітчизняної освіти повинна відповідати оновленим вимогам та забезпечувати належний рівень готовності майбутніх фахівців до ефективної професійної діяльності.Доведено, що в сучасній педагогічній освіті медіаграмотність стала однією із ключових компетенцій. Роль педагога, відповідно до нової парадигми, набула змін від традиційної ролі споживача інформації до аналітика, спроможного критично переосмислювати феномен медіаосвіти, здатного усвідомлено аналізувати отриману інформацію та методично грамотно використовувати її у своїй професійній діяльності.

Published: June 2023

Стаття присвячена результатам дослідження проблеми емоційного інтелекту молодшого школяра, зокрема розвитку одного із його структурних компонентів – когнітивного. Обґрунтована актуальність дослідження емоційного інтелекту як одного із провідних утворень особистості. Підкреслено значення даного феномену у розвитку особистості нарізних вікових етапах, розкрито сутність поняття «емоційний інтелект», його трактування вченими, які ввели його в психологічну лексику. На їхню думку, емоційний інтелект є інтегративним утворенням, яке є здатністю людини усвідомлювати та контролювати власніемоції і почуття, а також інших людей в процесі міжособистісної взаємодії. Як стверджуютьдослідники даної проблеми, така здатність сприяє емоційному й інтелектуальному зростанню особистості. Висвітлено протилежні погляди вчених на можливість розвитку емоційного інтелекту загалом та на етапі молодшого шкільного віку зокрема. Описана методика експериментального дослідження когнітивного компоненту молодшого школяра та показники його розвитку: розпізнання емоцій, ідентифікація емоцій, розуміння причини, що викликала певну емоцію. Викладено результати експериментального дослідження розвитку когнітивного компонента емоційного інтелекту у дітей молодшого шкільного віку. Когнітивна складова емоційного інтелекту розглядається як здатність людини визначати свої емоції за фізичним станом, переживаннями і думками, уміння визначати емоції інших людей через їх міміку, рухи, поведінку. Аналіз отриманих результатів дослідження дозволив виділити три рівні розвиту когнітивного компоненту емоційного інтелекту молодших школярів: високий, середній, низький, яким дана психологічна характеристика. Встановлено, що дітям цього віку ще складно розуміти свої та чужі емоції, а показники розвитку когнітивного компонента здебільшого мають низький рівень розвитку в учнів першого та другого класів. Певна позитивна динаміка мала місце в учнів третього класу, у яких було встановлено переважання середнього рівня розвитку когнітивного компонента емоційного інтелекту. Названа перспектива подальшого дослідження проблеми розвитку емоційного інтелекту молодшого школяра.

Published: June 2023

Предлагается новый взгляд на особенности социального устройства афганского общества, предпринимается попытка анализа происходящих за последние 40 лет событий в Афганистане с применением сетевого подхода. Рассматривается динамика политических порядков в рамках выделенных пяти исторических периодов в период с 1979 г. по 2022 г. Афганское общество рассматривается через сети: гражданские, религиозные, этнические, племенные, медиасети, политические и другие. С целью выяснения степени влияния сетей на политические порядки авторы сгруппировали афганские сети по продолжительности их влияния на общественно-политическую жизнь Афганистана. По степени влияния все афганские сети делятся на две группы: константные и временные. Авторы приходят к выводу, что временные сети не могли составить длительную значимую конкуренцию константным сетям в части общественного и политического влияния.
ПРОТЕСТЫ В МОНГОЛИИ 2022 ГОДА И РЕАКЦИЯ ВЛАСТЕЙ НА НИХ: ДЕМОКРАТИЯ КОНСЕНСУСА ЭЛИТ?
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Kushkhov Boris
Published: June 2023

Изучается опыт реакции ключевых органов власти в Монголии на массовые протесты населения, состоявшиеся в декабре 2022 года. Рассматривается комплекс мер, принятых для ограничения коррупционной деятельности в стране, а также риторику выступлений президента, премьер-министра, а также депутатских групп Великого Государственного Хурала с целью оценки степени инициативности и эффективности ключевых политических институтов при решении острых и актуальных проблем, с которыми сталкивается государство и общество. Прослеживается поверхностный и ситуационный характер ответных мер, принятых органами государственной власти, а также их нацеленность на умиротворение протестующих, а не на долгосрочную борьбу с системной коррупцией. Делается вывод о стремлении монгольских политиков поддерживать «статус-кво» в распределении политических полномочий между органами власти, об их неспособности эффективно бороться с коррупцией – как в силу интересов отдельных групп, так и из-за ряда особенностей политической системы Монголии, которая не приспособлена к резкому и оперативному реагированию на подобные кризисы. Делается вывод об утверждении в монгольском государственном аппарате системы «сдержек и противовесов», исключающих возможность активного реагирования на подобные кризисы, с целью недопущения пересмотра установленного «статус-кво» между политическими элитами. Исходя из этого можно говорить о том, что «демократическая» политическая система всё ещё находится в стадии своего становления.
«БРАТСКИЕ» ТРУДОВЫЕ МИГРАЦИИ: СКАНДИНАВСКИЙ ОПЫТ
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Sarabiev Aleksei
Published: June 2023

Анализируется феномен трудовой иммиграции из стран внутри одного и того же региона – Скандинавии, где проживают близкие по историческому происхождению народы. В литературе такие лица характеризуются как «не совсем» мигранты, и автор предлагает ввести понятие «братских миграций». Наряду с иммиграцией разных видов из стран Глобального Юга и Востока, такие миграции имеют мощное экономическое воздействие на принимающее общество, а набор проблем социокультурной адаптации таких трудовых иммигрантов имеет свои особенности, связанные со сходной языковой и историко-культурной идентичностью. Объектом анализа выступают три страны Скандинавии. Их миграционный опыт может быть востребован при выявлении проблем адаптации, а также степени экономического воздействия на города России, особенно в последние годы, когда многие жители Донбасса выезжали в российские районы с целью краткосрочного заработка или на долгое время – в том числе руководствуясь и вопросом безопасности. Вопросы адаптации таких мигрантов остаются и после присоединения новых российских территорий, поскольку «братские» миграции (например, белорусов, молдаван, украинцев), очевидно, продолжаться. Опыт, который накоплен скандинавскими странами в отношении такого рода «братских» миграций, может пригодиться как в плане влияния на экономику городов, так и в плане разрешения вопросов, возникающих в ходе социально- экономической интеграции иммигрантов – как «явных» (с сильно выраженными «восточными» и «южными» чертами), так и неотличимых фенотипически от местного населения.

Eğitim faaliyetleri içerisinde akademik kazanımlar ve öğrencide beklenen sınıf içi değişimler birincil önceliklidir. Bununla birlikte eğitimin gelecek vizyonuna ilişkin hedeflerin belirlenmesi ve bu hedeflere ulaşmada izlenmesi gereken eğitim stratejileri bir bütündür. Bu bağlamda oyun ve fiziksel etkinlik dersi faaliyetlerinin de gelecek misyonu içerisinde önemli bir yeri vardır. Bu nedenle bütüncül bir eğitim anlayışı içerisinde fiziki etkinliklerin de olduğu göz ardı edilmemelidir. Bu gerekçe ile yapılan çalışmada sınıf öğretmenlerinin ilkokullardaki fiziksel etkinlikler (IFET) uygulamasına ilişkin görüşlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan fenomenoloji deseni ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, çalışmaya katılan 20 sınıf öğretmeninden, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Öğretmen görüşlerine göre ilkokullardaki fiziksel etkinlik oyunlarının öğrencilere, öğretim sürecine ve okula olumlu etkilerinin olduğu saptanmıştır. İFET oyunlarında karşılaşılan sorunlara ilişkin öğretmenlerin daha çok fiziksel yetersizliklerden söz ettikleri anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca öğretmenler, İFET’in gerekliliğine vurgu yaparak sürekli olmasını, öğretmenlerin bu konuda daha çok bilgilendirilerek oyun becerilerinin geliştirilmesini, etkinlikler için fiziksel koşulların iyileştirilmesini önermişlerdir.

Authors: SÖYLER Yasemin , AKIN KABALAK Pınar , KAVURGACI Suna , DEMİRAĞ Funda , YILMAZ Ülkü
Published: June 2023

Background: Differentiating high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNEC) is difficult. We aimed to assess the clinical features and survival outcomes of unclassified HGNEC (uHGNEC) and to compare it with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Material and Methods: This was a retrospective and observational study of HGNEC patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Cox-regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors independently associated with PFS and OS.

Results: One hundred twenty-one patients [uHGNEC (n = 35), SCLC (n = 86)] were analysed. The primary tumour was mostly right-sided, located in the centre of the lungs. The IASLC stage at diagnosis was locally advanced in 43 (35.5%) patients and advanced in 78 (64.5%) patients. uHGNEC and SCLC groups shared similar clinical features. The study population's median PFS and OS were 8.8 (95%Cl 7.29 – 10.30) and 10.9 (95%Cl 9.9 – 11.8) months, respectively. uHGNEC- and SCLC groups had a similar PFS (9.4 vs 8.6 months, p = 0.99) and OS (12 vs 10.7 months, p = 0.51). The six-month, one- and two-year PFS and OS of two groups were also similar. Among all patients, a right-sided tumour (HR: 1.558, 95%Cl 1.044 – 2.325, p = 0.03) and advanced-stage disease (HR: 1.928, 95%Cl 1.292 – 2.877, p = 0.001) were prognostic factors for poor OS. Cox-regression analysis indicated that histopathology did not have an impact on PFS and OS.

Conclusion: HGNEC patients who cannot be classified pathologically behave like SCLC.

Authors: Butko Aleksandr
Published: June 2023

The problem of water resources in international relations is one of the most discussed since the second half of the last century. Since the mid-1960s, water consumption in the world has more than doubled and continues to grow. This makes fresh water one of the most important factors influencing the international and domestic political situation.
In the Greater Mekong subregion, this problem is already one of the main ones. The main reasons for this are rapid economic and demographic growth, as well as changing climatic conditions. The situation is complicated by the geopolitical significance of the region, which makes it a place of struggle for influence from global and regional players.
 
The paper notes the role of the Mekong River in the economy of the countries of the subregion, because the contradictions between them are the main cause of international processes related to the river. The author also noted the influence on the situation from the leading world powers and the possibility of smoothing the problem from Russia.

Authors: AL -Tememy Enam A. , Ahmad Laith , AL-Shaheen Zainab O. , Jabbar Jinan A.
Published: June 2023

Background: Mammary duct ectasia is defined as dilated duct larger than 2 mm in diameter seen in fibrocystic changes, ductal epithelial hyperplasia, papiloma, DCIS. US has a significant role in diagnostic breast imaging. It is most commonly used as an adjunctive test in characterizing lesions detected by other imaging modalities or by clinical examination
Objective: This study was designed to investigate differences in ultrasonographic findings between malignant and benign mammary duct ectasia.
Patients and Methods: From November 2010 to July 2011, 100 womem with mammary duct ectasia lesions depicted on sonograms were included in this study. We evaluated the ultrasonographic (US) findings in terms of involved ductal location, size, margin, intraductal echogenicity, presence of an intraductal nodule, calcification, ductal wall thickening and echo changes of the surrounding breast parenchyma. The US findings were correlated with the pathological features.
Results: Of the 100 lesions, 84 lesions were benign and 16 lesions were malignant. Benign lesions include: an inflammatory change (n=14), ductal epithelial hyperplasia (n=6), fibrocystic change (n=54), intraductal papilloma (n=10). Malignant lesions include: ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) (n=2), infiltrating ductal carcinoma (n=14). On US images, the peripheral ductal location, an ill-defined margin, ductal wall thickening and a hypoechoic change of the surrounding parenchyma were features significantly associated with malignant duct ectasia.
Conclusion: For ill-defined peripheral duct ectasia with ductal wall thickening and surrounding hypoechogenicity as depicted on US, the possibility of malignancy should be considered and radiologists should not hesitate to recommend a prompt biopsy.

Published: June 2023

Background: Most adolescent girls experience some degree of dysmenorrhea, which can impact on their daily activities. It is responsible for school absenteeism or interruption of social activities. Therefore, investigating dysmenorrhea among secondary school students is important to provide caregivers with data necessary for interventions
Objectives: This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among secondary school students in Basra, Iraq and to study its impact on their daily activities.
Materials & methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from Jan. 2011 to May 2011 among 350 secondary school students using a semi-structured questionnaire.
Results: Out of 350 participants (aged 15-20 years), 313(89.4%) had dysmennorhea. Dysmenorrhea was mild in 12.8% of students, moderate in 54.3% and severe in 32.9%. Menstrual irregularity, and a family history of dysmenorrhea were important risk factors for dysmenorrhea (p<0.05). Of dysmenorrheic students, 79.9% reported that it limited their daily activities. Activities affected by dysmenorrhea included; class concentration (53.4%), homework (48.6%), school attendance (33.9%), socialization (24.3%). The most common associated symptoms were fatigue (55.9%), mood change (37.4%), dizziness (35.5%) and loss of appetite (34.8%). Of those who experienced dysmenorrhea, 13.7% consulted a physician, and 56.3% practiced self-medication.
Conclusions: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea among secondary school students in Basra was high, and it may be severe enough to affect their daily activities. It is necessary to improve the therapeutic options to relieve pain and to reduce the impact of dysmenorrhea on social and school activities.

Nowadays, creating an environmentally reliable car by reducing the volume of harmful gases in it is a global problem of mankind. For this reason, one of the main areas of research is to improve the exhaust gas cleaning system of internal combustion engines. However, to date, there are no universal designs that would improve the performance of the purification system. In this regard, the development of new vehicle exhaust system designs based on an effective cleaning method is an urgent task. The article highlights the results of scientific and experimental research of the authors on the development of new designs of automobile exhaust muffler working on the basis of the method of electro-pulsed cleaning, designed to reduce the concentration of harmful exhaust gases. The developed experimental installation of the electric-pulse muffler performs gas purification by feeding an electric shock discharge to the electrodes installed in the muffler. The experimental data obtained show changes in the gas transparency depending on changes in the distance between the electrodes. Regression-correlation analysis established empirical dependences of gas transparency values on changes in the distance between the electrodes.

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of existing types of alternative fuels, including in-depth studies of chemical and physical properties. According to the results of the study, dimethyl ether was selected. When mixing a certain amount of dimethyl alcohol with diesel fuel and using the resulting mixture to evaluate engine performance, a linear regression analysis method was used. Finding the values of linear regression coefficients was carried out using an application software package (MATLAB) to solve technical calculation problems. Studies have shown that the addition of one third of dimethyl ether to diesel fuel is the most effective additive for reducing the residual gases emitted by diesel engines. A decrease in the indicators of residual gases leads to an improvement in environmental indicators.
A Composition Project: an Original 12-tone Fugue Modeled After J. S. Bach's BWV 847
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Cady Ilana
Published: June 2023

A prominent feature among great composers is they often attempt to expand the boundaries of expectation and strive to discover fresh, new, and innovative styles. Throughout the musical periods, composers have established standard compositional forms; among these processes is the fugue. The specific goal of this project is to explore the compositional techniques of the 12-tone system developed by Arnold Schoenberg in 1921, and apply these techniques to fugal writing. In this process I am taking Bach’s fugue, BWV 847, and using it as a blueprint for my original 12-tone fugue. I follow the same overarching structural pattern of BWV 847—retaining the number of voices, related pitch selection and usage of the middle section, while submitting them to the paradigms of 12- tone serialism. I chose to employ techniques such as complex rhythmic patterns, pitch selection based on 20th century practices, and serial relationships that create the feeling of the traditional components of the fugue. This composition moves the fugue form in an unexpected and more progressive direction and attempts to give a meaningful definition to fugue writing with 12-tone principals.
The Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on the Concentration of Myo-inositol
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Knighton Patrick
Published: June 2023

Bipolar affective disorder is a mental illness that affects 1-2% of the population. One hypothesis for the effectiveness of current treatments of bipolar disorder is the reduction of cellular myo-inositol. Lithium and valproate (VPA) are known to reduce cellular inositol levels, however these treatments often have notable side effects. Currently, there is a need to find a treatment for bipolar disorder that reduces the adverse side effects of these drugs. Previous studies, have found success in using omega-3 fatty acids for the treatment of bipolar affective disorder. The long-term purpose of this study is to determine what effect omega-3 fatty acids have on myo-inositol concentration. This study has worked toward this purpose by comparing the growth effects of 0.8mM DHA to 2.5mM VPA. We have found that similar to VPA, cell growth is reduced at 0.8mM.
Narcissism and the Selfie: Investigating Millennial Narcissism on Instagram
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Reed Megan
Published: June 2023

Recent studies revealed a correlation between self-promoting images on social media and higher levels of narcissism. This research further examined the relationship between narcissism and use of social media by determining the proportion of selfies an individual posts on Instagram and narcissism among millennials. The proportion of pictures that were selfies was measured in two ways: in the subject's past 4-weeks of picture posting and in the last 30 pictures the subject posted. The standard Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) was used to measure the subject's level of narcissism. Correlation analyses revealed that no correlations were found between the NPI score and the proportion of selfies posted among the total subject pool, however, among subjects who do post selfies, there was a correlation approaching significance.
Exposure to Narratives and Social Reasoning
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Chlevin Cassandra
Published: June 2023

This study drew predominantly from previous work on the relationships of narrative and non-narrative texts with empathy and social reasoning. It has been posited that fiction -- due to the parallels between narrative texts and the social world -- may help readers maintain if not cultivate their social skills, whereas readers of non-narrative material may not have this benefit. This project attempted to both replicate and extend this pattern in a Seventh-day Adventist Christian sample by using instruments employed in previous research as well as a set of Bible-based instruments. Correlational analysis and nested linear regression were used to examine the relationship between how subjects preformed on measures of narrative and non-narrative exposure (the Author Recognition Test and Bible Verse Recognition Test) and their social acumen (the Interpersonal Reactivity Index and the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes" Test-revised.) Despite mixed results, there was strong evidence for a relationship between recognition of Biblical characters and identification of emotional states in other people. An implication of this study is that, for an Adventist population, exposure to religious narratives may play a role in how social reasoning develops.
Paper-based Biosensor for Colorimetric Detection of PSA Biomarker
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Drew Alyson
Published: June 2023

Prostate cancer is commonly screened in the bloodstream by detection of excess PSA, prostate-specific antigen which is a protein in the prostate produces in large quantities when cancerous tumors are present. In order to facilitate inexpensive and disposable detection, diagnostic tools have begun to be created out of paper and wax which wick solutions through channels based on their hydrophobicity. George M. Whitesides, who pioneered the majority of this work, designed a paper-based LFD, lateral flow device, effective for detecting liver function which we are modifying to detect PSA. In this paper, we designed an oPAD, origami paper analytical device, specific to PSA using GNPs, gold nanoparticles, which provide a colorimetric, qualitative, inexpensive, efficient, and disposable design to detect prostate cancer through the bloodstream. Our device separates the sample laterally to prevent back-mixing and vertically to enable addition of novel particles. The design was optimized for channel thickness, size, proper heating, type of paper involved, and amount of sample solution needed. We are currently concept-testing of PSA qualitative detection via sandwich assay to target detection levels <100ng/mL, but we hope to design a device that can be easily modified to detect many other biomarkers for disease.
Edward Snowden, Criminal or Patriot: Media Coverage of National Security Agency Document Leaks
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Yoon Joyce
Published: June 2023

Kenneth Burke's dramatic pentad was used to analyze Edward Snowden's National Security Agency (NSA) document leaks from June 5, 2013 through October 1, 2013 as published in the New York Times (NYT) and the Guardian. The articles were coded by newspaper, headline, reporting journalist, page prominence, word count, publication date, and tone of stories. Content analysis revealed that there was significant difference in coverage of Snowden: the Guardian utilized the word "swhistleblower"s extensively in a positive way while negative words like "leaker" drove NYT coverage of Snowden. Both papers overlap in the identification of Snowden's actions as one of the most significant intelligence disclosures since the Pentagon Papers.
Variations in Microbiota of Culex (melanoconion) Ocossa and Culex (culex) Declarator Across Peri-urban and Rural Environments
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Starkey M. Nelson
Published: June 2023

Mosquitoes serve as the primary mode of transmission for many tropical infections such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, dengue virus, and malaria. Therefore, mosquitoes are an important area of study for disease control. This study is part of a larger goal to examine the differences in gut microbiota of Culex melanoconion species across two different habitats: periuban and rural. Mosquitoes were collected from locations around Iquitos, Peru and their gut bacterial DNA was extracted and analyzed. Based on previous studies, it is believed that the bacterial flora will differ among mosquitoes reared in different locations.
The Effect of Degrading the Transcription Factor NF-KB Subunit Proteins on NF-KB' s Oncological Activity
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Lee Seongmin
Published: June 2023

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is a transcription factor that becomes functional when any two of its five component proteins (p50, p52, p65, c-Rel, and RelB) join together. NF-κB plays an important role in bringing out cell proliferation, or cell growth. When NF-κB malfunctions and becomes hyperactive, excessive NF-κB activity promotes abnormally high cell growth, which is a symptom of cancer. Because of its tie to cancer, NF-κB is commonly subjected to modification to curb cancer growth. In this project, each component protein of NF- κB was degraded via a method called RNAi to see if it would have any negative influence on NF-κB activity of glioblastoma, or brain cancer, cells. It was found that degradation of p50 and p52 significantly reduced NF-κB activity while the remaining three failed to produce significant reduction.
An Examination of Control Fraud in Non-Banking Industries
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Takahashi Kaylie
Published: June 2023

William Black’s (2005) control fraud theory suggests accounting fraud initiated by CEOs is more damaging than accounting fraud that is not. However, this theory has only been applied anecdotally to financial institutions. I test Black’s theory using a sample of manufacturing, merchandising, and service firms that engaged in accounting fraud from 2007-2014. I hypothesize that firms which commit CEO-led fraud will exhibit greater growth, leverage, and have higher CEO compensation. My findings do not show that there is any evidence that control frauds are more damaging than other accounting frauds that do not involve the CEO.
Visual Cognition While Listening to Stories
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Borges Nathalie
Published: June 2023

Different people have different perceptual patterns in response to language. Different language accents may influence visual cognition by increasing cognitive load when different objects are referenced in stories. The purpose of this study was to record differences in eye movement patterns while subjects listened to stories in two different accents which served as the accent-induced stimulus load to increase cognitive processing. Using the eye tracker, eye movement patterns were recorded as subjects looked at an object array on a computer screen. My hypothesis that subjects would delay eye movement patterns to target objects while listening to stories in a foreign accent as opposed to an American accent because of increase cognitive load was supported with a main effect in accent type of stories.

Event of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in Coastal Areas: Review Article
Authors: Wahidah Putri Umari Khairunnisa , Yuliyani Eka Arie
Published: June 2023

Background: Indonesia is a country consisting of islands and oceans that are rich in potential natural resources. Abundant marine products make the Indonesian people empower fish catches into long-lasting salted fish processed foods. People living in coastal areas have a high level of consumption of salted seafood products, such as salted fish. Consuming salted fish is one of the factors causing the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Contents: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of cancer found in the head and neck. NPC cases can be caused by various factors, one of which is caused by environmental factors. Environmental factors that can cause the incidence of NPC are environments that have a population of both passive and active smokers, formaldehyde exposure, and consumption of salted fish. Clinical manifestations that can arise in patients with NPC, such as epistaxis, nasal congestion, ringing in the ears, headaches, facial pain, and lumps can be seen on the top of the neck of the patient.

Conclusion: NPC is the fourth most common malignant tumor in Indonesia after cervical cancer, breast cancer, and skin cancer. NPC cases are most commonly found in men compared to women in the elderly age group, in the range of 45-55 years. Several treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical intervention can be done to treat NPC cases.
