Juzgun (лат. Calligonum) is a genus of perennial deciduous branching shrubs from the Buckwheat family (лат. Polygonaceae). According to some data, up to 158 plants are included in the genus, but since the genus is poorly studied, the definition of the species included in it is considered inaccurate. Moreover, some scientists claim that it is impossible because of multiple morphological differences that do not have geographical certainty. Tannins, citric and phenolic carboxylic acids, alkaloids, leucoanthocyanidins, flavonoids were found in the chemical composition of plants from the genus Juzgun. Plants from the genus Juzgun can potentially serve as a source of medicinal raw materials. Scientists have found phenolcarbonic acids in them, which have a choleretic effect, acting as a hypotensive agent. Antitumor effect is endowed not only with the leucoanthocyanidins present in the representatives of the genus, but also a number of flavonoids.We have investigated the chemical composition and identification of biologically active compounds in the vegetable raw materials of the Juzgun leucocladum. Physico-chemical studies have been carried out. The elemental composition of raw materials has been determined.The morphology of the raw materials was investigated, and the amino acid composition of the raw materials was also determined. The first samples of a veterinary drug based on Juzgun plant raw materials and phytosorbents for veterinary purposes were obtained and sent for clinical research.

Authors: Sagyndyk M.
Published: October 2024

This article is devoted to the main aspects of improving the level of digital literacy of the population in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Internet is a rapidly developing global phenomenon that carries unprecedented opportunities for all groups of the population, both in developed and developing countries. It has enormous potential for solving the problems of sustainable development and improving the lives of people in urban and rural areas and places where indigenous communities live, building bridges between representatives of different nations, cultures, worldviews and religions, to promote the development of education, culture and employment. The issues related to the concept of «digital literacy» of the population are considered, the importance of the population’s possession of competencies related to the field of digital literacy is shown. Criteria for determining the level of digital literacy of the population are proposed. The analysis of digital literacy of the population carried out in the article is based on the assumption that a necessary condition for the formation of a digital economy in the country is to achieve not only quantitative indicators of the formation of a digital ecosystem (the number of Internet connections, data transfer speed, affordable cost of Internet access, etc.), but also qualitative criteria expressed in the level of digital literacy of the population. The main trends in this area are reflected, current problems are identified, as well as prospects for the development of digital literacy and ways to improve it among the population of the country are considered.
Conceptual aspects of orphan’s socialization
Authors:   Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Sadyrova A.
Published: October 2024

The existence of the orphan’s institution is an urgent problem of humanity and this reality, in turn, tends to generate, as a rule, negative consequences for the individual, society and the state that cannot be fully resolved for a long time. Orphans care require not just sympathy and compassion, but also extremely interested activity on the part of the whole society. Such a conclusion will not be an exaggeration if the public is aware of and takes into account the degree of severity, risks and threats from «failed lives», since children socializing outside the institution of the family do not exist separately, in a closed space (as a certain group of people assumes). They are an indisputable element of society, influencing the level of its fullness no less than children who entered the world thanks to family upbringing. The problem is aggravated by the fact that society itself, in its current cultural and ideological state, does not quite objectively and humanely perceive this problem. The article provides a theoretical analysis of concepts that try to explain the reasons for the rejection of the society of children from orphanages, the emergence of difficulties in building relationships with them, as well as their ineffective socialization.

Published: October 2024

This study explores the impact of martial arts education within the physical education curriculum, aiming to assess its effectiveness in enhancing students' cognitive, affective, and physical self-regulation, while also identifying areas for improvement. Quantitative data from student surveys indicated that martial arts education has a positive effect on self-regulation across all domains. However, qualitative responses revealed significant challenges, including accessibility issues, the need for a more practical and engaging curriculum, and insufficient support from schools and facilities. Based on these findings, a comprehensive program was developed to address these concerns. The program focuses on curriculum enhancement, increasing accessibility and engagement, improving facilities and resources, supporting instructor development, and establishing ongoing assessment mechanisms. The program’s implementation plan is structured across six phases, ensuring a strategic approach to achieving the intended outcomes. The study concludes that while martial arts education holds considerable potential for holistic student development, its full impact is currently limited by various barriers. By addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, educational institutions can maximize the benefits of martial arts education, fostering not only physical fitness and discipline but also cultural appreciation and emotional resilience among students. The proposed program serves as a roadmap for schools to enhance martial arts education and better align it with educational objectives, ensuring a more engaging and impactful learning experience.

Research on the Communication Techniques of the Official Language of the Two Sessions
Authors: Liu Yuxin
Published: October 2024

The Premier’s answer to questions from Chinese and foreign journalists held after the “Two Sessions” is a typical foreign affairs occasion that uses official languages more frequently and involves a wide range of fields. Therefore, a large number of standardized and politically sensitive official languages are used in questioning and answering. Translators need to input and output two completely different languages and cultures during the process of consecutive transmission, and cultural differences will inevitably bring difficulties to translators during translation. The translation of official languages is undoubtedly a clear example. Translators can only successfully complete their interpretation work by finding the patterns through diligent training and extensive accumulation. By analyzing the official translation and the author’s translation, the author summarizes the six major characteristics of official language in press conferences, namely the extensive use of subjectless sentences, the extensive use of four character forms, the lack of coherence between sentences, the extensive use of verbs, the inclusion of a large number of idioms and idioms, and the inclusion of traditional Chinese cultural elements. The author attempts to explore the communication skills of official language in press conferences based on these six characteristics, in order to improve the quality of interpretation.

Authors: Yang Yihe , Li Xiaoming , Jin Hongwei , Huang Kun
Published: October 2024

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a pivotal approach in enhancing language models by incorporating external knowledge during the text generation process. However, traditional RAG systems often face challenges in processing structured queries, leading to suboptimal integration of retrieved information. In this paper, we introduce a novel method called Generative Semantic Integration (GSI), which advances structured query processing within RAG frameworks. GSI leverages generative models to semantically integrate structured queries with retrieved data, enabling more coherent and contextually relevant responses. Our experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that GSI significantly improves the performance of RAG systems in structured query understanding and response generation, outperforming existing baseline models.

Published: October 2024

In Pakistan, neonatal mortality and morbidity are remarkably high. Birth asphyxia (perinatal asphyxia) is one of the main contributors to this, apart from prematurity, sepsis and other causes. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of magnesium sulfate in term neonates having perinatal asphyxia Methods: This Randomized Controlled Trial was carried out at the Department of Pediatrics, Sheikh Zayed Hospital Rahim Yar Khan from July 2023 to December 2023. The overall sample size was 130 patients (65 patients in each group). Neonates in group A received MgSO through I/V, 3 doses 250mg/kg/dose, 24 hours apart along with standard treatment. Group B was a control group that received 20 ml of normal saline infusion at the same interval with similar supportive and symptomatic treatment with regular monitoring. The outcome in terms of mortality, seizure, early initiation of feed, time to the establishment of full oral feeding, duration of seizures and duration of hospital stay were assessed. All the data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.Results: In the current study, a total of 130 neonates were enrolled. Among them, moderate asphyxia was observed in 90 (69.23%) patients whereas severe perinatal asphyxia was observed in 40(30.77%) patients. In group A, the mean level of serum magnesium in neonates with moderate asphyxia was 2.81 (±0.20) mEq/L while in neonates with severe asphyxia, it was 2.89 (±0.61) mEq/L. The moderate asphyxia patients in group-A showed significant statistical improvement in terms of seizure control (hours) (14.11±1.22 vs 18.11±1.56; P=0.01), normal cry appearance (Days) (11.1±0.12 vs 13.11±1.29; p=0.03), normal activity appearance (Days) (11.9±0.02 vs12.00±1.51; p=0.01), full oral feed acceptance by sucking (Days) (13.31±0.99 vs 14.61±1.51; p=0.01) and mean hospital stay duration (Days) (14.99±1.66 vs 16.21±1.11; p 0.02). Conclusion: Our study concludes that in asphyxiated newborns, postnatal magnesium sulphate infusion is safe and likely to enhance the short-term neurological prognosis in cases with moderate-grade encephalopathy.

Masterscriptie januari 2021Onderzoeksmaster Theologie en Religiewetenschappen, Faculteit Religie en TheologieVrije Universiteit AmsterdamBegeleiders: Jan Jorrit Hasselaar, Johan Roeland
In november 2019 organiseerde de Faculteit Religie en Theologie (FRT) van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam een symposium ‘Water in Times of Climate Change’. Dit Watersymposium vormde een plek voor interdisciplinaire ontmoetingen om bruggen te kunnen slaan tussen verschillende partijen die zich bezighouden met klimaatverandering (FRT ca. 2019). Naar aanleiding van dit symposium toonde een van de deelnemende organisaties, Rainproof Amsterdam, zich geïnteresseerd in de betrokkenheid van religieuze organisaties bij duurzaamheid in Amsterdam. Als netwerk van Waternet probeert Rainproof de stad aan te passen aan het veranderende klimaat (Amsterdam Rainproof z.j.). Hoewel het netwerk groeit, is er geen zicht op de betrokkenheid van religieuze organisaties bij de klimaataanpak in Amsterdam. Rainproof bleek nieuwsgierig hiernaar, wat de aanleiding vormde voor het huidige onderzoek. Deze thesis bespreekt daarom hoe kerken die zijn aangesloten bij de christelijke organisatie GroeneKerken zich positioneren in het veld van klimaatactie en duurzaamheid in Amsterdam.

Genetic variability and co-heritability in Terminalia (Section: Pentaptera) for fruit (seed) characters
Authors: Srivastav P. , Thangavelu K.
Published: October 2024

Twenty four genotypes of Terminalia arjuna and T. tomentosa were studied from Chhattisgarh (erstwhile Madhya Pradesh), Orissa and Jharkhand (erstwhile Bihar) for fruit characters. Fruit weight and breadth of wings in fruits exhibited high G.C.V. which suggests high genetic variability of these characters. High heritability value for fruit weight, breadth of wings and germination % were associated with high genetic advance indicating additive gene effects for these characters, whereas low/moderate genetic advance against high heritability for length of fruits indicated intra- or inter-allelic interactions for this character. The coheritability of all the fruit characters with germination % were lower than the heritability of germination % alone. The coheritability of fruit weight with length of fruits and breadth of wings was also higher than the heritability of fruit weight alone which indicates pleiotropism or linkage between these characters. The co-genetic advance was also observed between the pair of these three characters. The length of fruits was significantly and positively correlated with fruit weight and breadth of wings as compared to non-significant positive correlation between weight and breadth of wings, and negative correlation of germination % with other fruit characters. Hence, for rapid afforestation programmes, fruit (seeds) should be collected from trees producing smaller seeds rather than larger seeds in these taxa.

This paper proposes a better solution for EEG-based brain language signals classification, it is using machine learning and optimization algorithms. This project aims to replace the brain signal classification for language processing tasks by achieving the higher accuracy and speed process. Features extraction is performed using a modified Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in this study which increases the capability of capturing signal characteristics appropriately by decomposing EEG signals into significant frequency components. A Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm method is applied to improve the results and select the optimal features which achieves more accurate results by selecting impactful features with maximum relevance while minimizing redundancy. This optimization process improves the performance of the classification model in general. In case of classification, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Neural Network (NN) hybrid model is presented. This combines an SVM classifier's capacity to manage functions in high dimensional space, as well as a neural network capacity to learn non-linearly with its feature (pattern learning). The model was trained and tested on an EEG dataset and performed a classification accuracy of 97%, indicating the robustness and efficacy of our method. The results indicate that this improved classifier is able to be used in brain–computer interface systems and neurologic evaluations. The combination of machine learning and optimization techniques has established this paradigm as a highly effective way to pursue further research in EEG signal processing for brain language recognition.

Authors: Xu Jingyu
Published: October 2024

Nowadays, more and more people suffering from upper cross syndrome. This paper is a systematic review of upper cross syndrome. It found the relationships between the prevalence of upper cross syndrome and country, gender, assessment tools, and study quality. This systematic review systematically searched 7 databases. Prevalence was pooled across studies using a random-effects meta-analysis. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed to identify sources of heterogeneity and to compare prevalence estimates across groups. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute's Quality assessment checklist. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed using I2 test. 7 out of 74112 records met with included criteria in this systematic review to have meta-analysis, which involved 3722 participants with Upper crossed syndrome. The pooled prevalence estimate of Upper crossed syndrome was found to be 0.35 (95%CI: 0.25-0.44). When the sex ratio>1, the prevalence of Upper crossed syndrome was 0.26 (95%CI: 0.22-0.30), sex ratio<1, it was 0.39 (95%CI: 0.24-0.53). The prevalence of Upper crossed syndrome in high quality studies was 0.38(95%CI:0.23-0.54), while in fair quality studies, it was 0.19(95%CI:0.04-0.34). There was no difference of the prevalence by different assessment tools. Based on such a high prevalence, intervention strategies must be implemented early in the public health field to reduce the prevalence or increase the number of patients who seek early treatment.
Exploring ethical issues in the Chinese translation of medical terms: The convergence of translation ethics and medical ethics
Authors: Hu Xinyao
Published: October 2024

This article explores the ethical aspects of translating medical terminology into English, with a particular emphasis on the joint influence of medical ethics and translation ethics. This study identified four key issues in current translation practice through the analysis of various cases from the perspective of Chestermans five kinds of translation ethics, including representation ethics, service ethics, communication ethics, norm-based ethics, and commitment ethics. The four issues involve discrimination, superstition, contempt, and overgeneralization. These issues may hinder the provision of appropriate medical services and social acceptance by fueling social stigma, public misunderstandings, and negative perceptions of diseases. This study suggests that medical translation is not only about language conversion, but also involves considerations of cultural, ethical, and social factors. This article attempts to provide practical advice for medical translators and healthcare workers by combining medical ethics with translation ethics. It suggests that future research should prioritize interdisciplinary collaboration to improve ethical standards in medical translation and promote more accurate and respectful descriptions of diseases in different cultures.

Authors: Hittle Beverly M. , Wardlaw Cassie , Trosclair Elajah , Bankston Karen
Published: October 2024

Background: Sleep is critical to general health and occupational safety of workers. Black nurses in the United States report sleeping less than their White counterparts, indicating sleep inequity exists. Understanding what workplace factors contributing to this inequity and suggestions for improvement are vital to protecting nurses.Methods: A descriptive qualitative research design with content analysis was used to examine focus group data from Black nurses working in the United States. Participants were invited to virtual focus groups or interviews to answer questions about their sleep. Questions were guided by the Social Ecological Model for Sleep.Results: Fifteen nurses participated. Four themes emerged: Societal Impact, Workplace, Interpersonal-Cultural Context, and Individual. Twelve sub-themes were identified that described factors that affect all nurses (i.e., night shift, long work hours) versus societal and interpersonal events tied to racism that are most impactful for Black nurses’ sleep. Participants offered six suggestions for changing the healthcare setting to increase a sense of belonging.Conclusions: To improve sleep equity among Black nurses working in healthcare settings, a holistic approach towards worker health and safety may help attenuate individual risks from poor sleep. Systemic organizational efforts to increase belonging among staff could benefit from fostering trusting relationships with Black nurses, as well as increasing the diversity of healthcare leaders and managers.

Published: October 2024

The ability to solve real-world problems for a sustainable future has become a worldwide consensus, and interdisciplinary competencies and project-based learning (PBL) have become the focus of curriculum reform in China. This study investigates the effectiveness of interdisciplinary PBL fieldwork in geography education for sustainable development, focusing on the perceptions of students from a junior high school in Chongming, Shanghai, of the interdisciplinary effectiveness of PBL fieldwork. Over a one-month pilot program, the results suggest that the new fieldwork approach did not achieve the expected benefits.

Research on Judicial Application of Custom as Source of Civil Law
Authors: Zhang Gaoyang
Published: October 2024

Article 10 of the Civil Code stipulates that when resolving civil disputes, if there is no legal provision that can be applied, customs can be used, but only if they are consistent with public order and morality. This provision confirms the legal source status of customs, which is beneficial to completing the legal sources of civil law, maintaining the openness of civil law, and preventing the vacuum of civil rights remedies. It is also beneficial to limiting the discretionary power of judges and upholding judicial justice. When there is no legal reference, customs can also serve as the basis for judging cases. However, there are still problems with the judicial application of customs, such as difficulties for parties to provide evidence, unequal treatment of similar cases, and vague expression of the application of civil customs in judicial documents. Specific measures for improvement can be taken from the perspectives of strengthening the investigation and collection of customs, optimizing the burden of proof for civil customs, and establishing relevant case guidance systems.
