The Gut-Brain Axis: Exploring the Bidirectional Communication Between the Gut Microbiome and the Brain
Authors: Bhoomi Aggarwal
Published: September 2024

The gut microbiome is a complex network of interactions between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract, playing a pivotal role in human health and disease. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (GBA) serves as a crucial connector between the brain’s emotional and cognitive centers and the peripheral intestinal functions, emphasizing the profound impact of gut health on overall well-being. The GBA is characterized by a symbiotic relationship between the gut and the brain, regulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines and neurotransmitters. The MGBA is also regulated by microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and fatty acid derivatives. This paper focuses on the importance of the GBA in regulating gut health and the potential for targeted therapeutic interventions to improve health outcomes. The implications of this research are vast, suggesting that future strategies aimed at modulating the gut biome may offer promising avenues for the development of personalized medicine and dietary interventions.

Exploring the Semantic Significance ‘Camel’ and Cultural Representation in the Kazakh Ethnic Worldview as Reflected in the National Corpus
Authors: Gulnara Talgatqyzy  , Aigul Amirbekova  , Anar Fazylzhanova  , Kayrat Gabitkhanuly  , Gulsinay Issayeva
Published: September 2024

The article examines the study of the concept of “cultural worldview” in linguistics, including methods for studying the linguistic expression of the ethnic perspective. It argues that the formation of information about this concept, organized in the mind of a nation before it is expressed through language, is composed of various worldviews. Human knowledge is intrinsically linked to the environment, nation, state, surrounding nature, religion, national values, and cultural traditions. It is impossible to conceive of this knowledge independently from its context or create a discrete worldview. Therefore, the article explains, using examples, that in the environment where the collective image common to an ethnos is formed, the ethnic image is also formed. The linguistic representation of the Kazakh ethnic worldview is explained step-by-step. The study finds that the presence of ethno-marked units in the language system is a key feature in the formation of ethno-cultural knowledge. Additionally, the effectiveness of using socio-philosophical, cultural, symbolic, and semantic research methods to determine the verbalization of the ethnic worldview is demonstrated. Ethnomarking of material cultural names, precedent names, mythological names and concepts, and zoomorphic and phytonymic names are among the elements that constitute the Kazakh ethnic worldview.
Far-Field Lateral Tectonic Strain Prediction from Straddle Packer Formation Stress Measurements
Authors:   Baker Hughes, Franquet Javier A.
Published: September 2024

The objective of this work is to provide estimated lateral tectonic strain values to geoscientists and petroleum engineers from easy-to-use subsurface depth correlations. These correlations are obtained from over 600 straddle packer microfrac tests conducted across the world. This methodology does not have the purpose of replacing rigorous in-situ stress derivation from fracture closure measurement tests and borehole failures such as breakouts or induced fractures observed from image logs. These correlations, however, can provide probable tectonic strain ranges vs. depth in exploratory areas where wellbore data and stress tests are not available. Hundreds of microfrac stress testing data collected during the last 30 decades have been analyzed to obtain the far-field tectonic strain values. The lateral strains are obtained by an inversion method using the basic petrophysical formation properties and the straddle packer in-situ stress measurement balancing the elastic tensor relationship of stress equal to stiffness time strain. The average formation porosity, density, compression, and shear slowness across the microfrac testing interval are used to calculate Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, tensile strength, and Biot’s poroelastic coefficient. The minimum and maximum lateral strain values are obtained once the predicted tectonic stress values match the microfrac testing results of each formation breakdown and fracture closure measurements. Finally, basic depth correlations are derived, so lateral strain values can be easily predicted to solve geomechanics challenges across 500 to 18,000 ft deep. The predicted tectonic strain data shows values between 0.01 to 1.6 mStrain. The minimum lateral strain values are more constrained than the maximum lateral strain, which seems to have a higher variability with depth. Both lateral strain profiles exhibit a clear increase at depths higher than 9,000 ft, where the tectonic stress effects amplify in subsurface rock sediments. Multiple pore-pressure gradient conditions varying from 8 to 18 ppg are studied across multiple basins since overpressure zones have poroelastic implications in the effective stress state. This is the first-time lateral Earth strain correlations vs. depth are presented in the industry that could be used to predict tectonic stresses easily at specific depths if the rock stiffness is known. These empirical equations can be used by geophysicists to derive effective stress profiles from seismic attributes with an acceptable uncertainty before a well is drilled.
High Resolution Optical Spectral Reconstruction and Downhole Fluid Analysis Using Broadband Spectrometer and Matching Pursuit Inversion
Authors:   Halliburton, Chen Zhonghuan , Dai Bin ,   Halliburton, Jones Christopher ,   Halliburton
Published: September 2024

Absorbance spectra (optical density) measurement of downhole fluids, as one of the key sensing capabilities of modern formation testers, is widely used in drilling mud-filtrate contamination monitoring, formation fluids composition analysis, and reservoir compartmentalization studies. Conventionally, a narrowband filter-based spectrometer is used to record optical absorbance spectra of downhole fluids with limited spectral resolution due to the limited number of narrowband filters being used. A broadband filter-based compressive sensing spectrometer enables rugged instrument design and achieves higher spectral resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio for downhole fluid spectral measurement. A highly efficient inversion method is developed to invert the broadband spectrometer measurements to obtain high-resolution spectra. The proposed matching pursuit inversion method is a dictionary-learning method that leverages a fluid spectral database as the learning dictionary. The optical spectra in the fluid database are measured in a spectral measurement laboratory. During the inversion process, the iterative algorithm matches the observed data on the sampled fluid with the spectral data in the dictionary and finds the best-matched fluid iteration by iteration. The absorbance spectrum of the sampled fluids is reconstructed as a weighted linear combination of a small number of spectra in the fluid database (sparse representation). In an experiment, the matching pursuit spectral inversion is applied to measurements of two spectrometers configured with different optical filters. Even if the inversion problem is highly under-determined, the reconstructed spectra are consistent on the same fluids. We also compare the reconstructed spectra with the spectra measured by a commercial laboratory spectrometer for a set of fluids; the spectra closely matched. Analysis shows, as full information in the fluids spectral library can be used in the matching pursuit method, it reduced the uncertainty and improved the reliability. We also demonstrated several field applications using reconstructed spectra, including real-time mud-filtrate contamination monitoring and downhole fluid composition analysis. With the efficient implementation of the matching pursuit method, the proposed inversion can meet the requirement of real-time mud-filtrate contamination monitoring. Moreover, with high resolution to distinguish the absorbance peaks of gas (1,650 nm) and oil (1,720 nm), the reconstructed spectra can clearly depict the gas-oil-ratio change during the formation sampling process.

Authors: Gogayeva Olena K.
Published: September 2024

The aim. To analyze arrhythmological complications in cardiac surgery patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Materials and methods. This was a retrospective data analysis of 354 cardiac surgery patients with various forms of CAD who were operated on and discharged from the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. The mean age of the patients was 61.9 ± 9.6 years. All the patients underwent laboratory examinations, electrocardiography, echocardiography, coronary angiography and cardiac surgery. The patients with uncomplicated forms of CAD (n = 194) underwent isolated surgical revascularization of the myocardium, in the case of complicated forms of CAD (n = 160), coronary bypass surgery was supplemented with valvular or ventricular correction.
Results. Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) occurred in 40 (20.6%) patients with uncomplicated CAD and 43 patients with complicated CAD (26.8%), p = 0.1667. Among patients with complicated forms of CAD, 2 (1.25%) had paroxysms of ventricular tachycardia, which required the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator, also in this group of patients complete left bundle branch block occurred more often (p = 0.0020). The postoperative period in patients with impaired glucose metabolism was characterized by more frequent development of AF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (33.3%, p = 0.0006), with impaired glucose tolerance (24.8%, p = 0.0156) compared to patients with normoglycemia (12.6%).
Conclusions. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of postoperative AF in patients with various forms of CAD (p = 0.1667). In the occurrence of postoperative AF paroxysms, the negative influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p = 0.0006), impaired glucose tolerance (p = 0.0156), stage III-IV chronic kidney disease (p = 0.0015) and gouty arthritis (p = 0.0072) has been proven. The presence of postoperative AF was associated with acute encephalopathy (p = 0.0291) and panic attacks (p = 0.0043). The occurrence of postoperative AF increased the length of stay of cardiac surgery patients with CAD in the hospital from 8.2 ± 2.9 to 11.06 ± 6.8 days (p < 0.0001).

Published: September 2024

The aim. To establish the role of the hereditary factor in the risk of developing premature coronary heart disease (CHD) based on clinical and genealogical analysis of pedigrees.
Materials and methods. The study included patients with CHD. The total sample size was 286 people, the mean age of the patients was 58.8 ± 2.9 years. The material for the analysis was the data of a clinical and genealogical analysis, which included the collection of data from the proband about the number of relatives with an indication of consanguinity. On the basis of the obtained data, pedigrees were compiled and the coefficient of family aggregation (FA) was calculated. A comparative analysis was conducted between experimental (n = 108, 25-44 years old) and control (n = 178, 75-90 years old) groups.
Results. As a result of the analysis of pedigrees, it was established that in patients who had premature CHD, which developed at the age of 25-40 years, there was a FA of cardiovascular diseases, as evidenced by the determined frequency of the hereditary burden of family history for cardiovascular diseases of 50.9%. When compared with the corresponding frequency in the group of elderly patients, the determined frequency of family burden of 24.2% which was significantly lower than that in young patients, p = 0.0001; χ2 = 33.12. The calculated coefficient of FA was 2.1, which indicates that the risk of premature CHD is two times higher in families with a burdensome family history of cardiovascular diseases. Analysis of the burdensome history of cardiovascular diseases considering the degree of kinship with the proband established that in patients of both groups, the burdensome history was observed with the highest frequency in relatives of the 1st degree of kinship: 86.2% in the experimental and 83.3% in the control groups.
Conclusions. It was found that in families with a burdensome family history of cardiovascular diseases, the risk of developing premature CHD is two times higher, as evidenced by the calculated coefficient of FA - 2.1; p = 0.0001; χ2 = 33.12. It was found that in both groups of the study, the prevalence of family history of cardiovascular diseases prevailed, mainly among relatives of the first degree of consanguinity.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The digitalization trend in the business world and the mandatory conditions that originated from COVID-19 increased the importance of virtual fairs. Determining the direction of attitudes of the business people, who participated in virtual fairs, will allow for having an idea about the future of these fairs. In addition, it is also essential to determine which company characteristics are associated with these attitudes. However, there are only few studies in the literature about virtual fairs, which have recently gained much importance. In this research, which aims to contribute to the literature, an online survey was conducted on 204 business people that participated in at least one virtual trade fair in 2022. The data collected was analyzed by using Exploratory Factor Analysis, K-means Clustering, and Chi-Square Test. The results showed that the firms generally have positive attitudes. The dimensions of these attitudes are related to the perceived usefulness of the Technology Acceptance Model. However, given the results of the Exploratory Factor Analysis, the items that represented the perceived ease of use are not effective. When the relationships between business characteristics and business people's attitudes towards virtual trade fairs were tested and no statistically significant relationship was found between the business's age or the business's size and attitudes. The only statistically significant relationship is the one between business people’s judgment on the industry's suitability of the business and their attitude towards virtual trade fairs.

Published: September 2024

The article investigates the issue of optimising the installation parameters of solar panels to maximise their efficiency in the conditions of modern Ukraine, where the traditional energy infrastructure is severely damaged due to military operations. Particular attention is paid to parameters such as the angle of inclination and orientation of solar panels relative to the sun, which affect the overall performance of the system. The study was carried out on the basis of a solar power plant located on the roof of the educational building of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology in Dnipro. A detailed analysis of the plant's operation was carried out with the solar arrays oriented to the southwest (azimuth 222˚) and the results were compared with the calculations obtained using the PVWatts® calculator developed by the US National Energy Laboratory (NREL). The results of the study showed that the actual annual electricity generation was 3917 kWh, which is close to the predicted 3973 kWh obtained using PVWatts®. The analysis also demonstrated that changing the orientation of the solar panels from southwest to south (180˚ azimuth) could increase the annual electricity generation to 4227 kWh, which confirms the maximum efficiency of the southern orientation. The findings can be used to optimise existing and future solar power plant projects, ensuring more efficient use of resources and improving the overall efficiency of power systems. This knowledge will help to reduce dependence on fossil energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply for the population and critical facilities in the face of the destruction of traditional energy infrastructure.

The advantages of the fluidized bed cooling method for the effective implementation of hardening heat treatment regimes are determined. It is shown that this method of forced volumetric cooling of toolmaking products is rational in terms of various indicators. The structural and technological parameters of devices for its implementation are analyzed, which can consistently provide the required level of properties of alloyed and high-alloy tool steels with a minimum level of warping and deformation.
Особенности манипуляции сознанием и поведением посредством образно-символических конструктов в идеологии религиозных социальных институтов
Authors: Авдеенко Евгения
Published: September 2024

The article examines religion as a social institution. A definition of manipulation is given, and the main criteria for influencing mass consciousness, which makes it possible to determine the behavior of social groups and individuals are formulated. The substantive basis for the objectification of symbols through the emotional and ideological saturation of images is considered. A comparative analysis of objectification and simulation of an image in a symbol is carried out. The author explains the role of emotional objectification of figurative and symbolic religious constructs, emphasizes the fundamental importance of the personal experience of the image from the point of view of its acquisition of motivational power. The author’s aim was to show how religious organisations, as social institutions, manipulate people's minds and behaviour. The article shows that the use of a specific religious language, in which figurative and symbolic constructs occupy a significant place, plays a major role in the manipulation of people’s consciousness and behavior. Various religious organizations manipulate people’s consciousness and behavior on the basis of such figurative and symbolic constructs as “the Fall”, “grace”, “salvation” and “the Kingdom of God”. The emotional and ideological objectification of these constructs is considered from the point of view of the main strands of Christianity. Religion as a social institution shapes a certain perception and determines the individual experience of these symbols. Emotions that arise as a result of empathic experience of the phenomena described in theological texts shape the motivations and prescriptions that govern behavior. The main aim of these manipulations is to strengthen religious belief, the dominant position of various religious organizations in society and the subordination of the personality of the church as a social institution. The novelty of the work lies in the study of the role of figurative and symbolic constructs in the manipulation of people’s consciousness and social behavior by religious organizations.

Authors: Шестакова Марина , Иванова Анастасия
Published: September 2024

The article examines popular conceptions of social and emotional intelligence that allow the question of the specificities of the social sciences and humanities to be revisited in a new context. On the one hand, the example of hermeneutics draws attention to the fundamental difference between the social and human sciences and the natural sciences. On the other hand, in light of recent research on social and emotional intelligence and the conceptions of the social and emotional brain, the authors aim to justify the possibility of distinguishing between the cognitive and methodological aspects of hermeneutics. The article reviews popular cognitive studies that demonstrate current trends in the study of the social nature of human beings. It raises the question of the prospects for modern scientific justification of the social and humanitarian problems raised by hermeneutics in the 20th century, and the possibility of using the experience accumulated by hermeneutics in the study of the intuitive side of human understanding for the further development of conceptions of the social and emotional brain.
The Arts and Humanities Degree: Value and Benefits
Authors: Oberhelman Steven M.
Published: September 2024

In this paper, I address the misconception that an Arts and Humanities degree is not applicable to the modern workforce. I will discuss how the degree sets up a graduate for a very large number of jobs that carry good wages and benefits. The Arts and Humanities student acquires skills in critical thinking, creative and innovative problem-solving, proficiency in oral and written communication, multi- and intercultural sensitivity, ethical training, and the ability to work collaboratively. Companies prefer employees with that skill set rather than those with specialized knowledge. The earnings gap between STEM graduates and Arts and Humanities graduates decreases over time, until by the age of 40, it disappears. Arts and Humanities graduates also move into lucrative careers in business, law, and politics and become entrepreneurs.
An Analysis of South Africa's Constitutional and UNCRC-imposed Obligations to Achieve Children's Socio-economic Rights: A Critique
Authors: Knowles Khangala Tshilidzi
Published: September 2024

Children require specific protection due to their heightened vulnerability to human rights violations, which can be attributed to several factors such as economic adversity, racial tensions, and armed conflicts. The current situation in South Africa is characterised by a pressing and significant prevalence of severe poverty. The enduring effects of apartheid have contributed to a broad range of socioeconomic challenges inside our deeply divided country. Children are particularly impacted by these issues and experience immediate suffering as a result. In the Republic of South Africa, a significant proportion of the youth population experiences the distressing circumstance of living in poverty. It has been reported that a significant proportion, ranging from 60 to 75 percent, of the youth population in South Africa is experiencing impoverished living conditions. The prevalence of HIV infection and the consequential mortality rates due to AIDS among caretakers have a detrimental effect on the well-being of children. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) encompasses social, economic, and cultural rights under its provisions. Following the ratification of the UNCRC in June 1995, South Africa is legally obligated to implement the articles pertaining to the rights of children. The formulation and structuring of socio-economic rights and corresponding duties towards children under the South African Constitution were significantly influenced by the UNCRC. The interests of children in South Africa are effectively safeguarded through the provisions enshrined in the Constitution and the duties outlined in the UNCRC. This study assesses the extent to which South Africa has adhered to its constitutional and UNCRC-mandated responsibilities and commitments in order to achieve the socioeconomic rights of children.
Abuse of Criticism: T.S. Eliot and Northrop Frye’s Academic Ramp-up to “Fake News”
Authors: Goranowski Richard
Published: September 2024

Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Defence of Poetry” originates T.S. Eliot’s 1932 Harvard Norton Lecture on “taste” maligning “a marked swing in his feelings toward Shelley's verse from fervid imitation to contemptuous disdain.” Lowe, P.J., 2002. Eliot’s acolyte, Northrop Frye, in 1957 follows similar tautology to exclude Shelley’s straw-man agonist, Thomas Love Peacock, from Anatomy of Criticism commentary over Sir Philip Sidney’s “Apology for Poesy,” Shelley’s obvious rhetorical target. Here we treat Eliot and Frye’s methodologies as a Prigozhin troll factory authoritarian oligarchic academic coup that, “like the Internet Research Agency, engage in … ‘coordinated inauthentic activity, ranging from the use of false names and the creation of false audiences to the publication of false stories and the creation of divisive narratives.”
Refugee Crisis, News Crisis: The Framing of Episodic and Thematic Articles
Authors: Zukas Keith Joseph , Liapis Panagiotis P.
Published: September 2024

A main tenet of 21st Century journalism is to engage the public with highly informative and affective content. Through sociological journalistic processes of creating news content, however, audiences may lose the ability to completely conceptualize the level of human suffering observed in the coverage of refugee crises. This experimental survey tested the use of episodic and thematic frames in formatting American news articles about the Syrian refugee crisis of migrants landing on Grecian shores. It found that episodically framed articles increased moral understanding among Americans, as well as overall engagement in the crisis event. Respondents, however, were not more likely to participate in civic engagement about the refugee crisis with others. The results suggest that the use of episodic frames in the construction of refugee news articles may engage audiences more in the issue, however, alone are not enough to affect behavioral outcomes such as discussion. Further research should investigate the implications of framing choices made in the presentation of news stories about important issues such as mass human migrations.

However, with the influence of web 2.0 technologies that have affected mainstream journalism practice in the 21st century, this study investigated the extent to which mainstream media still mould public opinion in Nigeria. The paper was anchored on agenda-setting and media dependency theories as it investigated journalism’s ability to mould the views of people on issues of public concern. The survey research design was used where the multi-stage sampling technique was adopted and an online Australian Calculator was used to draw the sample size of 371, the questionnaire was deployed as the instrument for data collection. The results among other things revealed that, though social media and blogs’ usage have influenced mass media and public communication generally, mainstream journalism still moulds public opinion in Nigeria. This was revealed as respondents disclosed that in making decisions, they believe and use more information they obtained from mainstream media platforms than information they got from blogs and social media sites.

Social Actors’ Representations in Newspaper Headlines on Domestic Violence against Men and Women in Sub-Saharan, Africa
Authors: Akinseye Tolulope
Published: September 2024

Domestic violence is a pervasive issue in Sub-Saharan Africa, shaped by socio-cultural norms, economic disparities, and systemic inequalities. Media representations of domestic violence, particularly through newspaper headlines, play a significant role in shaping public perceptions and responses to this pressing societal issue. This study conducts a comparative analysis of social actors’ representation in newspaper headlines of domestic violence against men and women in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through a discursive analysis, the paper explores the representation of the victims, perpetrators, and authorities, across various newspapers within the regions. The findings from the analysis of headlines in three African regions show a pronounced media focus on victims rather than perpetrators in the headlines. Additionally, the inclusion of OTHERS enriches the narrative, with Western Africa showing the highest. Furthermore, the analysis reveals distinct patterns in role allocation, with perpetrators often depicted as active agents and conversely, sometimes represented as passive agents, shifting the narrative to victims' experiences and suffering. The study also highlights regional differences, with Eastern Africa less frequently activating perpetrators in headlines. Finally, the use of nomination, categorization, and collectivization in headlines adds depth, emphasizes collective efforts, and highlights the prevalence of domestic violence, although sometimes at the expense of individual experiences. Keywords: media representations, social actors, domestic violence, men and women

Food waste (FW) affects the economy, sustainability, food security, and climate but effective practices to reduce waste in the food retail sector have received limited attention in existing studies. To address this gap, a scoping review was conducted to systematically identify and categorise research about interventions targeting retail FW. After searching four electronic literature databases, study selection allowed for the inclusion of 43 studies in the review. The narrative synthesis illustrates possible outcomes of such responses to retail FW and aggregates similar interventions and actors involved. Findings comprised 132 interventions from 41 countries, mostly European (73.2%). While supermarkets were responsible for implementing 86.4% of the initiatives, the interventions targeted both consumers (50.8%) and their own businesses (46.2%). Utilising a FW hierarchy framework, interventions were classified into seven categories, predominantly focusing on preventative measures such as awareness campaigns, price reduction, operational optimization, legal regulation, and FW repurposing for human consumption through donations. These prevention and reuse strategies hold promise across diverse contexts and warrant further exploration. About half of the interventions quantified their effects, and we address the most relevant environmental, social, and economic impacts. The findings underscore the need for research investment in the global South.
