Chrome tanning is the most popular and widely used method utilizing basic chromium salts in leather processing. Only 60-70% of these salts react with collagen to form leather. The rest remains unreacted being released as toxic waste and causing severe environmental pollution in many developing countries. In the current study, a significant approach was made to utilize solid waste with a clean environment perspective. The chromium was extracted as basic chromium sulfate using H2SO4 from tannery waste and reused in the leather manufacturing procedure. Extracted solid sludge was examined by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and elemental analysis before and after the separation of chromium (III). It revealed that 97% of chromium was extracted from tan yard sludge. Recovered chromium sulfate was reused in goat skin processing. Batch experiments were carried out by applying recovered basic chromium sulfate, and a combination of fresh and recovered basic chromium sulfate solutions separately. Fresh basic chromium sulfate was used as the control method. The structure and morphology of the final processed leather were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The identical structural morphologies of all processed leather were confirmed in the FESEM study. The physical and chemical characteristics of all finished leather were found very similar. The TGA analysis data proved that raw leather processed by recovered chromium is thermally more stable than others. These research findings signify a new potential effort of separating important chemicals from solid sludge and reusing them. This technique is simple, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable as it reduces environmental pollution from tannery chromium waste.

Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the image of higher educational institutions in the conditions of increasing competition in the regional market of educational services, as well as between regional and metropolitan educational institutions. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of perception of a higher education organizations image by pupils of graduating classes. The results of online survey of high school pupils from Volgograd and Volzhsky and the series of in-depth interviews with graduate pupils are presented. The results of the study demonstrate the subjective perception by potential applicants of the essence of image of higher educational institutions, limited by the specifics of their social experience and status of schoolchildren. The key components of the image of universities, according to Volgograd pupils, include the image of educational services and teaching staff, social and visual image, that corresponds to the priority of the activities of educational organizations and correlates with the results of All-Russian and regional sociological studies. The effectiveness of Internet resources as a source of information about universities, that was revealed by the results of a survey of pupils, reflects the general trends of the digital society, and the high importance of personal contacts reflects the specifics of the regional image of educational institutions. The current image of the main universities of Volgograd is characterized by reflects of the final grades quite positively, however, a third of the study participants found it difficult to assess the key image components, that indicates the need to improve the efficiency of educational organizations in their formation. At the same time, the most relevant is the construction of a positive image of the teaching staff and the internal image of local educational institutions, reflecting the specifics of their socio-psychological climate. The recommendations to improve the effectiveness of image-forming activities, that were proposed by the authors, are related to the expansion of the representation of universities in the Internet space, the involvement of teachers and opinion leaders from among the student community as content authors, as well as the development of interactive communication with potential applicants.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents a scientifically based approach to analyzing large volumes of data from digital traces of students on social networks, which allows you to effectively identify emerging and most discussed problems among students, as well as highlight pain points that provide opportunities for growth, development of universities and improvement of the characteristics of the educational process, support for students etc. The study is based on a thematic analysis of messages published in university communities on the VKontakte social network using big data tools. The study results showed that Russian university students still face a number of challenges, including weak technical infrastructure at universities, a digital divide in access to online education, and negative attitudes towards distance learning.

The scientific problem of the study is the contradiction between the existing volume of unstructured data of students’ digital traces in social networks and the lack of a scientifically-based and proven methodological approach to the analysis and evaluation of this voluminous data, which creates obstacles to fundamental research into the relationship between students’ activity in social networks and their satisfaction quality of the educational process. The practical focus is determined in conducting data analysis using big data tools. The findings and evidence-based implications are useful for developing innovative strategies and tools for assessing and supporting students.

The results show that the use of big data tools for tracking trends based on digital traces of students on social networks provides highly accurate analytical data and can become the basis for identifying problematic situations in individual universities and the industry as a whole, for data-driven decision-making and management .
The Role of Scientometric Thresholds for the Evaluation of Grant Applications
Authors: Guba K. S. , Zheleznov A. M. , Chechik E. A.
Published: October 2023

The present study focuses on data from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF). The authors analyze the effect of using quantitative indicators in grant allocation by using the natural experiment with the increasing publication threshold for principal investigators between two waves of grant selections in 2014 and 2017. The authors selected the relatively new RSF as our case study due to its policy to establish a publication threshold for grants’ principal investigators. The policy change provides the authors with the opportunity to study whether reliance on bibliometric indicators brings better results in the project evaluation process. This analysis included two groups of researchers: 1) physicists and 2) social sciences and humanities scholars. Scopus was sourced to collect bibliographic data, while the foundation’s website was used to check data on the funded projects. The following questions are explored in detail: whether the policy affected the distribution of funds to researchers with a better publication record, the strategies of increasing publications by individual researchers, and the differences, if any, in policy effects between disciplines. The authors found that the selection among physicists in the first wave was already effective as the grant recipients are prolific authors who publish many highly cited papers before 2014. In addition, the results indicated that the group of research leaders in physics did not significantly change between the two selected waves of competitions (from 2014 to 2017). Although social scientists demonstrated a relatively weak ability to publish internationally, the increase in scientometric expectations has improved the publication record regarding the quantity and quality of publications.
Russia’s State Policy on the Development of Science at Universities: Lessons from the 90s
Authors: Dezhina I. G.
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the influence of state programs on research development in Russian universities in the first post-Soviet decade. After the USSR collapse the conditions for doing research in Russia worsened significantly due to a sharp reduction in budget funding with unessential other sources of support. Research conducted in higher education institutions was a small fraction of the entire system, and involvement in science was not among the primary activities of universities, except for a small number of leading universities. At the same time, mostly higher education institutions were responsible for training of highly qualified personnel. This discrepancy posed a threat for the science system. At the state level, a number of separate targeted programs was initiated, with an emphasis on fundamental research in universities. The aim of the article is to identify and systematize, in the framework of these state programs, the main factors affected the development of science in higher education institutions. The research methods include literature review, analysis of statistical data, and interpretations of surveys conducted in the 90s. It is shown that the programs’ results were modest and did not change the scale of university science in the country. The hampering factors were associated with regulatory and legal restrictions, sub-optimal choice of areas for support, underfunding and dispersion of financial support, and insufficient consideration of the former research specialization of universities. At the same time, these programs gave impetus to the discussion of the concepts of research universities, which later were implemented.
Artificial Intelligence in Education: Awareness, Readiness and Practice of Using Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Professional Activities by University Faculty
Authors: Sysoyev P. V.
Published: October 2023

Daily artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being implemented deeper and deeper in all spheres of human life, including education. At the same time, the degree of integration of AI tools into the pedagogical process largely depends on the awareness, readiness and practice of using the entire AI arsenal by teachers in their professional activities. The purpose of this study is to identify the awareness of university faculty in the use of AI tools in teaching activities, as well as to determine the degree of their readiness and practice of using AI technology in the educational process. The survey participants were 426 teachers from 18 universities of the Russian Federation. The results of the survey showed that the integration of AI tools in education is currently at an early stage. In general, university faculty lack a systematic understanding of the organizational, teaching and learning potential of AI tools. Many educators have segmental knowledge, related to a greater extent directly to their professional activities in teaching specific disciplines, and are not able to create a complete picture of the possibilities of AI in education. At the same time, most university professors express a neutral attitude or readiness to use AI tools in teaching activities. The experience of practical application of AI tools in the pedagogical process is limited to a few cases of using specific technologies in teaching specific aspects of disciplines.
Mechanisms for Activating the Personal Potential of Students in the Context of Digitalization of University Education
Authors: Shutenko E. N. , Shutenko A. I.
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this paper is to design a psychological-pedagogical construct of the implementation of information technologies in the process of teaching students for developing their personal potential. The rapid digitalization of higher education has caused the need to ensure the didactically correct information-communicative technology (ICT) introduction in education, which must organically comply with the structure and logic of the learning process, as well as the task of personal development. Solving these tasks, the authors propose not direct, but mediated use of different ICTs through the development of a system of various educational communications that are built and supported by the teacher. This is the novelty of the study and its dissimilarity to most of the current projects of forced, technocratic digitalization of students study, which do not sufficiently take into account the laws and principles of a holistic educational process and the becoming of personality in it.

Based on psychological and didactic approaches and methods, the authors reconstruct the pedagogically controlled process of ICT introducing into education through the implementation by the teacher of interrelated mechanisms – environment-forming and trigger mechanisms. The environment-forming mechanism unfolds the logic of the phased introduction of ICT – from the principles of their use through the construction of educational communications to the methods for activating of students personal potential in the form of trigger mechanisms. These activators are modes for the practical inclusion of ICT in education and are set by the mechanism for personalizing educational communications. Assuming the attunement of ICT to the personality of the student, this mechanism brings the teacher to the fore in the process of digitalization of learning. Being the initiator and organizer of educational communications, the teacher can adequately and fully ensure this attunement and targeting of ICT use by implementing a set of conjugated mechanisms: responsive, polycontact, contemporal, meaning-centric, project-constructing, cultural-mediating, consolidating, inclusive, comparative and the mechanism of problematization.

Approbation of the proposed mechanisms in the practice of online-learning has shown their sufficient effectiveness, students have an increase in indicators of self-realization and self-regulation, as well as the significance of values of self-development in education.

Published: October 2023

Background: CHOP regimen was the standard treatment for patients with diffuse large and mixed cells Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) even in comparison with second and third generation regimen. Recently Rituximab –CHOP is considered the standard treatment for aggressive B-cell NHL while CHOP (alone) is so for aggressive T-cell NHL, yet more than one study investigates another regimen which is VACOP-B and some showed its superiority over CHOP. Prior to the introduction of Rituximab, we used VACOP-B in the treatment of high &intermediate grade NHL in adult Iraqi patients as an alternative to CHOP. Patients and Methods:We performed a prospective analysis of 20 adult patients who, between April 2000 and October2005, received VACOP-B chemotherapy for high and intermediate grade NHL. The weekly regimen consisted of: doxorubicin50 mg/m2 i.v. weeks 1,3,5,7,9,11; cyclophosphamide350 mg/m2 i.v. weeks 1, 5, 9; etoposide 100mg/m2iv, weeks 3,7,11; vincristine1.4 mg/m2 i.v. (2 mg max.) weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10;bleomycin 10 mg/m2 i.v.(max. 15 mg) weeks 2,4, 6,8, 10; methotrexate12.5 mg intratheical was given in selected patients.; prednisolone 60mg p.o.daily for 2 weeks, reduced to 60 mg every other day for 10weeks.The patients treated were aged 25-50 years, 8(40%) had high grade (Working Formulation )NHL; 12 (60%) had intermediate grade NHL;seventeen patients(85%) had Stage III/IV disease; and 3 (15%) had stage II,bone marrow involvement seen in 3(15%)patients .patients distribution regarding age adjusted international prognostic index(aaIPI)was 8(40%)with aaIPI 0,1and 12(60%)with 2,3. Follow-up time from completion of VACOP-B chemotherapy ranged from 6 months to 40 months (median 22).Results: VACOP-B induced a complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in 70% and 15% respectively, whilst one patient had no response to treatment and died due to progression of the disease, 2 patients died due to treatment related toxicity. The three year disease free survival (DFS) was 78%, where 4 patients relapsed, one of them in the central nervous system. This study showed 3-year overall survival (OS) 100% for those with a IPI 0-1and 48% for those with aa IPI 2-3. Tolerance to treatment was measured by WHO toxicity scores. The hemoglobin (Hb) toxicity median score for all patients was grade 1 (Hb 9.5-10.9 g/dl), and the white cell count (WCC), toxicity score was grade 2(WCC 2.0-2.9 x 109/1). No platelet toxicity was observed. Ten per cent of patients suffered grade 3 severity infections requiring antibiotics and there was two treatment related death. Conclusions: VACOP-B chemotherapy is an effective regimen for high and intermediate grade NHL, with an encouraging result in patients with aaIPI 0, 1. although chemotherapy was given weekly, the tolerance to treatment was acceptable. Studies comparing VACOP-B vs. CHOP chemotherapy to decide the exact role of the first in treating high grade &intermediate grade NHL, in the absence of Rituximab, are still needed.

The paper shows the prospects of using pharmaceutical glass waste for partial replacement of high-value frits in the glazes composition. According to the results of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, the glass wastes belong to the group of alkali-containing aluminoborosilicate glasses. The results of thermomicroscopic and dilatometry studies showed that the combination of industrial waste frits and glass waste allows obtaining coatings that, according to their technological characteristics, meet the conditions of porcelain stoneware high-speed firing. The conditions for the resource-valued glass waste use as part of porcelain stoneware tiles glazes have been established. This allowed to use their potential as efficiently as possible and to partially replace (within 15–30%) high-value frits. Combinations of waste glass and industrial boron-free frits with high crystallization ability due to the increased content of alkaline earth oxides (RO=22–34 wt.%) were studied to prepare opaque matte coatings. Glazes compositions have been developed, which under conditions of high-speed firing, form matte coatings due to the directed crystallization of phase’s complex (ZnAl2O4, Zn2SiO4 and CaAl2Si2O8). Ceramic granite with white color coating (brightness coefficient of 80–83%) that differs by "silky" mattness (mirror reflection coefficient of 31–42%), high heat resistance (10 or more heat changes) and abrasion resistance of III–IV class was obtained. The best results were observed when using matte glazes in a complex with engobe, which includes the same glass waste in the amount of up to 30 wt.%. This is in general ensures a high level of their utilization, a significant high-value raw materials saving and an energy costs reduction for fritting.

New network poly(siloxane–propylene oxide–urethane–ureas) based on α,ω-bis[(3-aminopropyl)diethoxy]oligodimethylsiloxanes, oligo(propylene oxide), and cycloaliphatic diisocyanates are synthesized. The resulting polymers are studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis; their stress–strain characteristics are elucidated. These polymers are found to feature microphase separation and, consequently, two glass transition temperatures, defined by the chemical structures of the microphases. It is shown that an increase in the molecular weight and mass content of siloxane blocks leads to a decrease in the elastic modulus and tensile strength.

The regioselectivity of the fast stages of the aniline polymerization mechanism is considered. Using the AM1 method, the approaching of the radical cation of an aniline trimer to the aniline radical cation with chloride counterions, as well as the radical cations of the monomer to each other is simulated. It is shown that on passing from the recombination of the aniline radical cations with each other to the recombination of the aniline radical cations with the radical cations of an aniline trimer, the main approaching direction changes from C/N to N/N, which is followed by the semidine rearrangement. The high para-selectivity of the aniline polymerization is explained and the ratio of the rate constants of various recombination routes of the radical cations is evaluated.

Beslenme olgusu insanlar için vazgeçemeyecekleri derecede öneme sahiptir. Hayatın devam edebilmesi için insanların yiyecek ve içecek ihtiyacını karşılaması gerekir. İnsanların beslenme tarzları tercih ettikleri yiyecek ve içeceklerden oluşmaktadır. Ülkeleri, bölgeleri ve hatta destinasyonları diğerlerinden ayıran ve rekabet avantajı sağlayabilen en önemli faktör insanların yeme ve içme ihtiyacıdır. İnsanların tercih ettiği beslenme şekline alışması sonuncunda yeni yiyeceklere karşı ön yargı ile yaklaşmaktadır. Değişimler ve yenilikler insanların hayatında her an olabilecekler durumlardır. Dünya üzerinde insan ırkının hayatı devam ettiği sürece bu iki durum sürekli olarak var olmaya devam edecektir. Bu iki durumun en çok etkilediği segmentlerden biri ise yiyecek ve içecek segmentidir. Yeniliklere bağlı olarak tüketicilerin istek ve arzularında meydana gelen değişimlere ayak uydurabilmek için yiyecek ve içecek sektörü yeni ve farklı hizmet arayışında olacaktır. Alışılmış yiyecekleri tercih etme, beslenme açısından kolaylık sağlasa da zamanla beslenme şekli sabit bir hal almaktadır. Bu tutum yeni yiyecekleri denemede ve tüketmede isteksiz davranma sebebidir. Kavramsal çerçevede Yiyecekte Yenilik Korkusu adı altına giren bu durum, her ne kadar yeni yiyeceklerin olası zararlarına karşı kişiyi korusa da kişinin yiyecek tercihini dikte eden bir mekanizmadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı turistlerin yöresel yemekler üzerindeki neofobi etkisini ölçmektir. Bu kapsamda Karabük ilinin Safranbolu ilçesinde yer alan turistik bir bölge olan Eskiçarşı’ya gelen 400 yerel turiste çalışma anketi araştırmacı tarafından yüz yüze uygulanmıştır. Çalışma ölçeği Yiğit (2018) tarafından geliştirilmiş soruları içermektedir. Bu çalışma sonucunda katılımcıların verdikleri cevaplar kapsamında yöresel yemek üzerinde neofobi etkisi skoru değeri 39.73± 15.35 olarak bulunmuştur. Elde edilen verinin anlamı, katılımcıların yöresel yemek üzerinde neofobi etkisi sınıfında yöresel yemek üzerinde neofobi etkisine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu duruma göre yerel turistlerin tüketici bazında yöresel yemekleri tüketme konusunda neofobi seviyelerinin yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Yöresel yemeklerin içerik ve sunum şeklinin öne çıkarılması ve doğru pazarlama tekniklerinin kullanımı ile turistlerin yöresel yemekler konusundaki neofobi durumlarının azaltılabileceği düşünülmektedir.
Factors Determining Turnaround Strategies for Declining, Large, High-tech organizations

Published: October 2023

This study aims to identify the factors that should determine turnaround strategies for declining, large, high-technology companies. Goswami (2022) indicates that many high-tech organizations have been declining recently due to an external crisis triggered by inflation and high interest rates, with many implementing turnaround strategies. This study offers an evidence-based approach to identify the factors that should be considered when selecting a turnaround strategy at declining, large, high-technology companies. An evidence-based approach was used since Pfeffer and Sutton (2006) suggested that using data to drive decisions improved management decisions. The qualitative Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) methodology suggested by Barends et al. (2017) was used to find 14 articles (quantitative, qualitative), critically appraise, and code to synthesize the evidence and provide findings and recommendations for the turnaround of high-technology companies. The main findings of this research are that a) the selection of the turnaround strategy should differ based on whether the crisis is externally or internally triggered and should consider stakeholder management, in addition to strategic and operational factors b) An external crisis requires managerial cognition of the crisis, flexibility to adapt to the current market, aligning of the strategy of the organization with the environment and pursuing new sales markets which have not been impacted by the external crisis, focus on innovation, increased R&D spending, and increased sales/marketing. c) An internal crisis requires managerial cognition of the crisis, along with employee incentives, customer focus, communication with all stakeholders, retrenchment, restructuring, new product introduction, quality, process focus, decentralizing decision-making, and engaging in external relationships such as acquisitions/mergers/joint ventures.
On Modules over G-sets
Authors: Uc Mehmet , Alkan Mustafa
Published: October 2023

Let R be a commutative ring with unity, M a module over R and let S be a G–set for a finite group G. We define a set MS to be the set of elements expressed as the formal finite sum of the form ∑s∈Smss where ms∈M. The set MS is a module over the group ring RG under the addition and the scalar multiplication similar to the RG–module MG. With this notion, we not only generalize but also unify the theories of both of the group algebra and the group module, and we also establish some significant properties of (MS)RG. In particular, we describe a method for decomposing a given RG–module MS as a direct sum of RG–submodules. Furthermore, we prove the semisimplicity problem of (MS)RG with regard to the properties of MR, S and G.
Dietary Fiber Consumption and Colorectal Cancer: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Rahman Irtika , Islam Md Ziaul
Published: October 2023

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an increasingly imperative cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine the association between dietary fiber consumption and CRC.
Methods: This age- and sex-matched case-control study was conducted from July 2020 to June 2021 at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) and the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH) in Dhaka. A total of 102 cases and 102 controls were selected through purposive sampling. Cases were adult patients diagnosed with CRC, while controls were individuals without cancer. Data were collected using a pretested semistructured questionnaire and checklist, which included information on socio-demographic characteristics, colorectal cancer attributes, and dietary fiber consumption. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect data from both cases and controls.
Results: The mean (±SD) age of the cases and controls were 44.7±13.9 years and 45.6±13.3 years, respectively, with a male-female ratio of 1:1.3 in both groups. A significantly higher proportion of cases (53.9%) lived in joint families compared to controls (39.2%) (p=0.035). Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was significantly more prevalent in cases (27.5%) than in controls (15.7%) (p=0.041) among the comorbid conditions. Majority of the cases (72.5%) consumed low dietary fiber (<25 grams/day), while three-fifths of the controls (67.6%) consumed normal to high dietary fiber daily (p<0.001). After adjusting for the type of family, residence, and presence of T2DM, participants who consumed low dietary fiber were found to be 7 times more likely to develop CRC than those who consumed normal or high dietary fiber (OR=7.003, 95% CI = 3.616-13.565, p<0.001) based on binary logistic regression.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that low dietary fiber consumption is associated with an increased risk of CRC. Specific measures that could be taken to promote a high-fiber diet include increasing awareness through public health campaigns, providing nutrition education, and ensuring that healthy food options are readily available and accessible to people from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
