The article presents studies of the quality of cow colostrum. To date, a promising direction in the development of food functional products technology is the processing of cow colostrum as an additional source of protein, immunoglobulins, lipids, vitamins, minerals and other biologically active substances. It has been established that the physico-chemical composition of colostrum depends on the time elapsed since the calving of the cow. According to the conducted studies, it was found that the protein content is significantly higher in colostrum obtained immediately after calving than in colostrum collected after 24 hours and 36 hours after calving. The article provides data on the study of dry cow colostrum obtained by freeze-drying.  In this regard, the authors of the article investigated the chemical composition of dry colostrum, namely, the concentration of protein, fat and ash was determined depending on the time of collection of colostrum. The authors found that colostrum obtained immediately after calving also has low humidity, which makes it possible to increase the shelf life. The article substantiates the ways of its subsequent use in the production of food products with high nutritional and biological value and possible immunomodulatory effect.

Published: July 2024

The study aimed to enhance the reading comprehension skills of Grade Five pupils using Cloze Reading. The study used one group pre-test and post-test research design under pre-experimental. One section of Grade Five Pupils, composed of forty-two(42) pupils from Talisay Elementary School, contributed to the study. In gathering data, a modified pre-test and post-test by the researcher, depending on the learning needs and the desired outcome of the study, were the tools used. It comprises four variables: Sequencing of Events, Inferring, Noting Details and Identifying the Main Idea. The results of the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents were manifested using figures for frequency, standard deviation, and mean percentage. To determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents on reading comprehension, the hypothesis was unveiled through a 2-tailed t-test, and the hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed significant findings that of the 42 respondents, all of them have improved reading comprehension, as shown in the results. The pretest showed that most respondents were categorized in the “Satisfactory” level and below in reading comprehension skills. In the post-test, it was reflected that all the respondents improved after utilizing the Cloze Reading. This is apparent in the increased number of learners above a satisfactory level. In addition, 100% of the respondents were leveled up to very satisfactory and outstanding. Nevertheless, all the respondents had positive movement as they improved their reading comprehension skills. The difference between the pre-test and post-test before and after the implementation of Cloze Reading is significant, as it is measured at 0.05. It implies a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between the pre-test and post-test results.

Skin challenges in COVID-19 pandemic: The importance of cosmeceuticals
Authors: Tasić-Kostov Marija
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Although COVID-19 is present in a milder form nowadays, systemic disorders caused by the virus lead to multiple organ malfunctions. Skin manifestations are the consequence of the disease itself but also the result of preventative measures taken to avoid the infection. They generally do not require pharmacotherapy except in severe cases. Depending on the severity of COVID-19-related skin disorder, cosmeceuticals are often recommended in their management. In this study, we highlighted skin adverse events related to all aspects of COVID-19 pandemic aiming to provide a comprehensive overview and enlighten the role of cosmeceuticals in the treatment of those skin issues, according to published studies and guidelines. Methods. Different steps were conducted in preparation of this review-identification of all factors that affect skin in pandemics (protective measures, disease itself, post-COVID syndrome), selection and classification of reported skin symptoms which could be managed using cosmeceuticals, according to relevant papers and guidelines. Discussion. Skin challenges in COVID-19 pandemics could be divided into three main categories: 1) Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 disease; 2) Cutaneous symptoms as a result of wearing protective equipment and using disinfectants, and 3) Cutaneous symptoms related to the post COVID-19 syndrome. Conclusion. Cosmeceuticals, a unique category of products between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are highly recommended in literature for the management of the aforesaid changes except in severe skin disorders. Since the introduction of cosmeceutical concept, those topicals have become an extremely important part of dermatologist's armamentarium. COVID-19 pandemic confirms their importance.

Introduction/Aim. Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CVR) is of utmost importance in primary and (especially) in secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of our paper was to examine whether elderly patients with CAD benefit equally from CVR program as CAD patients of younger age. Methods. The study involved 1,697 patients referred to the CVR program after surviving myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention or surgical myocardial revascularization. Patients were divided in two groups: group I involved patients younger than 65 years (1099 patients, 64.76%), whereas group II comprised patients 65 years old or older (598 patients, 35.24%). At the beginning and at the end of CVR, exercise stress tests were done (EST1 and EST2). Also, the quality of life (QOL) was assessed at the beginning and at the end of CVR by validated questionnaire Short-Form 36 Health Status Survey (SF-36). The results were compared between the groups. Results. Younger patients showed better exercise tolerance on EST1 and EST2. However, both groups showed better exercise tolerance on EST2. Namely, in both groups, patients achieved higher strain level and longer duration on EST2 compared to EST1. Also, higher percentage of patients finished the test by achieving submaximal heart rate on EST2 compared to EST1. Also, our patients showed a significant improvement in all QOL areas except emotional health of patients ≥ 65 of age due to borderline statistically significant limitation. Conclusion. Our study showed that CVR improves the quality of life and physical exercise tolerance in elderly CAD patients. This is why the utilization rate and adherence of these patients to CVR programs should be vigorously encouraged.

Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: 3D printing technology has become increasingly prevalent in the field of dentistry. Research is ongoing regarding the usability of resin-based 3D printed temporary crowns in clinical applications. Marginal fit of 3D printed interim restorations produced from digital impressions obtained with intraoral scanners may vary according to the geometry and inclination of the axial walls of the abutment tooth. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal fit of 3D printed interim crowns fabricated over conventional and reverse-tapered preparations. Material and Methods: Crown preparations with known total occlusal convergence (TOC) angles (-8°,-4°, 0°, 8°, 12°, 16°, and 22°) were digitally created from a maxillary central incisor and printed in acrylic resin. Then, prepared tooth models (n=7) were scanned 10 times with an intraoral scanner (TRIOS3, 3Shape Inc, Denmark). Each experimental scan was used to design and fabricate a 3D printed interim anatomically contoured crown. Vinyl polyether silicone was used three times to assess the marginal discrepancy of the specimens by measuring five marginal points on digital photographs for each surfaces (buccal, mesial, distal, lingual). Marginal fit measured values did not follow a normal distribution; therefore, the Kruskal-Wallis and the Dunn/Bonferroni multiple comparison tests were applied (p = 0.05). Results: Marginal gap values were found significantly higher (p<0.05) in crowns produced for specimens with-8 and-4 degrees axial wall than other specimens. Conclusions: Negative inclination of the axial walls adversely affects the marginal fit of crowns produced with 3D printing technology.
Scarcity and instability: Transforming societies through equitable distribution mechanisms
Authors: Patel Jaynisha , Lucey Amanda
Published: July 2024

Under the framework of SDG 16, namely Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, one key underexplored area of inclusion relates to the means of ensuring access to justice through the equitable governance of scarce resources, and mechanisms to promote equal and structural access to opportunities across society. This research sets out to answer the following questions across three case studies: (1) What is the relationship between critical or scarce resources and political conflict in the region under study?; (2) On what basis is the scarce or critical resource currently distributed within the region under study?; (3) What formal or informal governance mechanisms are in place to manage access to critical or scarce resources, and resolve conflicts created by it?; and (4) What improvements could be made to ensure more inclusive and equitable access to the distribution of this resource? The three proposed case studies, namely, Central Mali (land), Northeastern Kenya (water), and northern Mozambique (extraction and revenues of natural gas), have unique political and geographic features that are indivisible from peace and security. In each case, a blend of formal and informal mechanisms is used, but these often involve competing mandates, are guided by socioeconomic dynamics or are unenforced, potentially leading to different types of localised conflict. This paper argues that, in order to prevent conflict around the governance of natural resources, communities need to be involved in a blend of informal and formal governance mechanisms from the outset. While the exact nature of these governance mechanisms may differ according to the nature of the natural resource and its extraction, there is a need to move from top-down towards people-centred approaches. Moreover, there should be efforts to develop specific SDG 16 targets related to environmental governance.
Attitudes of secondary vocational school students in Serbia on the use of digital technologies when conducting emergency distance teaching during the COVID-19-19 pandemic in the subject of sociology
Authors: Jakovljević Nevena
Published: July 2024

The method used in this research is an online questionnaire, which was conducted among students of the third and fourth grades of secondary vocational schools in the Republic of Serbia, on a sample of 586 students. The research included the broader context of teaching in secondary vocational schools, respectively students who attended sociology classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, and only one part of it is presented in the paper. In the researched period, the participants of the educational process had to adapt to the new conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which it was ensured that the teaching took place in the safest possible way for all participants, and through the use of modern technologies. Compared to traditional teaching, teachers had to communicate with students through numerous platforms that were available to them free of charge, and as our research on students who attended sociology classes online showed that in 100% of cases they used audio and video recordings, zoom, viber, presentations that teachers sent to them via e-mail and social networks. While to a lesser extent they used Microsot times and significantly less edmondo, moodle and Kahoot. They also used all these online resources to the greatest extent via laptops and mobile phones and to a lesser extent tablets, as well as a few of them via desktop computers. Bearing in mind that the goal of this research was oriented towards investigating the advantages and disadvantages of online or hybrid sociology classes, it is necessary to say that the advantages stand out: that online classes are better and that is why it is easier to learn online, then that the more time they spend at home, and the more free time they have, which indicates a better balance between school and personal obligations. On the other hand, if we take into account that students were given the option not to answer the question if they think that online sociology teaching has no advantages, and we received only 342 answers out of a potential 586 students, we still conclude that a large number of students do not consider online sociology teaching to be took place during the COVID-19 pandemic satisfactorily. Although the online teaching of sociology, which took place in emergency situations, provides a lot of flexibility in teaching, the challenges and shortcomings that accompany it should not be overlooked, and according to the results of our research, there were some. The disadvantages that stand out the most are technical problems and bad internet, lack of motivation, concentration and lack of interest, poor mutual communication. The consequences of identified deficiencies can have a significant impact on learning such as unsatisfactory results and reduced efficiency, but also have long-term consequences for the development of students and their motivation to work in the future.

Published: July 2024

Pseudoboehmite was impregnated with cobalt using a incipient wetness impregnation method. Two different concentrations of cobalt were used for impregnation: 3 mas% and 6 mas% of Co2+ relative to the mass of pseudoboehmite. The obtained materials were calcined at 500 ºC. The synthesized catalysts were tested in the process of oxidative degradation of tartrazine dye in the presence of Oxon as a source of sulfate anion radicals. The influence of temperature on the dye degradation efficiency was investigated. It was observed that the degradation rate increases with the increasing of temperature. The experimentally obtained results were tested using the most common kinetic models and it was found that the reaction follows a pseudo-first order rate in all cases. It was also observed that with an increase in the cobalt content, the efficiency of the catalyst increases. In order to determine which reactive oxidative species is dominant in the investigated process, tertiary buthalnol and ethanol was added to the reaction system. According to the experimental results sulfate anion radicals were found to be the dominant reactive species.
Comparison Of Calligraphy Learning Methods of Traditional Boarding School Al-Ansor and Modern Boarding School Darul Hikmah TPI Medan-North Sumatera
Authors: Aswani Rahma
Published: July 2024

Traditional boarding schools are learning institutions that use classical books such as the yellow book to serve as learning guidelines. Meanwhile, modern boarding schools are boarding schools that are more dominant to general learning, but these two boarding schools still study calligraphy. Calligraphy is a science that studies the beauty of the art of writing in Islam. The purpose of this research is to find a comparison of calligraphy learning methods in traditional boarding schools and modern boarding schools. This research method uses observation techniques, interviews, and literature sources, where researchers record all information during the research. The results of this study indicate that calligraphy learning is still a subject of interest to students in both traditional and modern boarding schools. However, traditional and modern pesantren do not really focus on calligraphy learning.
Quantitative Easing and Inequality
Authors: Lee Donggyu
Published: July 2024

This paper studies how quantitative easing (QE) affects household welfare across the wealth distribution. I build a Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian (HANK) model with household portfolio choice, wage and price rigidities, endogenous unemployment, frictional financial intermediation, an effective lower bound (ELB) on the policy rate, forward guidance, and QE. To quantify the contribution of the various channels through which monetary policy affects inequality, I estimate the model using Bayesian methods, explicitly taking into account the occasionally binding ELB constraint and the QE operations undertaken by the Federal Reserve during the 2009-15 period. I find that the QE program unambiguously benefited all households by stimulating economic activity. However, it had nonlinear distributional effects. On the one hand, it widened the income and consumption gap between the top 10 percent and the rest of the wealth distribution by boosting profits and equity prices. On the other hand, QE shrank inequality within the lower 90 percent of the wealth distribution, primarily by lowering unemployment. On net, it reduced overall wealth and income inequality, as measured by the Gini index. Surprisingly, QE has weaker distributional consequences compared with conventional monetary policy. Lastly, forward guidance and an extended period of zero policy rates amplified both the aggregate and the distributional effects of QE.
Speciesism and perceptions of animal farming practices as predictors of meat consumption in Australia and Hong Kong
Authors: Northrope Katherine , Ruby Matthew B.
Published: July 2024

Many people care about animals and do not wish to cause them harm yet continue to eat them. Past research, largely in Western cultural contexts, has found that people’s meat consumption is negatively related to how much they know about animal farming practices, and positively related to their endorsement of speciesism (the assignment of moral worth based on species membership). Little is known, however, about how these variables are related to meat consumption in non-Western samples. The present study aimed to determine to what extent perceptions of farming practices and speciesism predict meat consumption among people living in Australia and Hong Kong. Participants were recruited through Facebook advertising and asked to complete a questionnaire that measured speciesism, animal farming perceptions, meat consumption, and meat reduction intentions. Speciesism and perceptions of animal farming practices significantly predicted meat consumption and meat reduction intentions in the Australian sample, but only predicted some of the outcomes in the Hong Kong sample.

Authors: Hasibuan Mutiara Sany , Harahap Rosmawaty
Published: July 2024

This study uses a psycholinguistic approach to examine how children aged between one and three years old show disappointment. The study aims to find, examine and characterize the words or phrases used by children to express disappointment. The approach used is a descriptive qualitative analysis based on phonological and syntactic theories of child language acquisition. Naturally, conversational data were collected by documenting the events that made children feel disappointed. The findings of the analysis showed that children often used nonverbal cues such as roaring, shouting, and crying along with explanations to convey their dissatisfaction. Children aged 1 year and 4 months have only learned verbs and nouns at the syntactic level. Two-year-olds can say two words classified as verbs, nouns, pronomina and negative phrases. Children between two and nine years old can say two nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs.

We present a rare case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum (LHAS) characterized by the abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue within the interatrial septum, forming a tumor-like mass. The reported incidence of LHAS is 2.2–8%, with advancements in imaging techniques expanding diagnostic opportunities. A 75-year-old female with a history of meningioma, right breast cancer, cholecystolithiasis, and ovarian cyst; comorbidities, including diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia; and a body mass index of 33 kg/m2 underwent resection for an enlarging interatrial septal tumor, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of LHAS. Imaging revealed a 36 mm × 28 mm tumor extending from the atrial septum into the right atrium, with a computed tomography value of –76 HU. Histopathologically, the tumor was mainly composed of mature adipocytes along with hypertrophied myocardial fibers and scattered brown adipocytes, confirming the diagnosis of LHAS. Although LHAS is often managed with observation following diagnosis, our report on surgical intervention presents a rare and noteworthy occurrence. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing the rare occurrence of LHAS, which often requires surgical intervention in cases of tumor enlargement. The successful resection and diagnosis of LHAS in this patient underscore the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors.

STATE-CHURCH RELATIONS IN THE FIRST CZECHOSLOVAK REPUBLIC: SPECIFIC FEATURES OF LEGAL REGULATION
Authors: Bielova Miroslava , Peresh Ivan
Published: July 2024

It is indicated that the relationship between the Church and the state went through various stages in its formation both in Ukraine and in the world as a whole. In addition, the state’s relations with religious organizations in various countries still have their own specifics. Models of these relationships are usually built depending on the political, religious, cultural and other traditions of each region. Therefore, today in Europe, despite the presence of a number of common trends, there is still no unity of approaches in building a system of state-church relations.
It is quite obvious that in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to study the existing historical experience of Czechoslovakia. Regarding this, the confessional policy of the Czechoslovak state in the 20th century has a special value. Back in the interwar twentieth century (1918–1938), an attempt was made here to build such a model of the relationship between the state and religious organizations, which, on the one hand, provided for the secular nature of the state and the maximum limitation of the role of the church in public life, and on the other hand, the preservation of the main elements of the system of state -church relations that developed in Austria-Hungary. We can say that in a slightly modified form this model continued to exist in Czechoslovakia and in the second half of the 20th century. Even during the years of state atheism, the church here was not separated from the state. Thus, in the 20th century, Czechoslovakia accumulated rich experience in adapting traditional elements of the state church to new historical conditions.
Based on the study of domestic and foreign sources, the article analyzes the legal regulation of state-church relations in the First Czechoslovak Republic.
The study attempted to analyze the country’s relationship with the Vatican, which consisted primarily of the need to conclude a concordat agreement. The legal nature of Modus vivendi is analyzed.
It was determined that the model of state-church relations in the first Czechoslovak Republic became an organic development of the model that existed in Austria-Hungary. It can be said that the process of equalizing the rights of all state-recognized denominations came to a certain logical conclusion in the first Czechoslovak Republic. At the same time, one of the fundamental principles of Austrian religious policy was preserved in the Czechoslovak Republic – the desire to limit the ties of local denominations with foreign administrative centers as much as possible.

OBTAINING TESTIMONY OF A WITNESS IN CONDITIONS THAT ENSURE HIS SAFETY IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Vecheria Mykola , Kravchuk Petro
Published: July 2024

The scientific article is devoted to the study of procedural, organizational-tactical and psychological features of obtaining witness statements in conditions that ensure his safety in criminal proceedings. It was concluded that the tactics of obtaining statements during the interrogation of a witness at the stage of pre-trial investigation are formed depending on the typical interrogation program of a person who is in the status of a witness (eyewitness, witness, expert, whistleblower, confidant, etc.), his age, and depends on the investigator situations in specific criminal proceedings, from real and potential threats to such persons, their relatives and relatives. It is noted that in the case when there are sufficient grounds to believe that the life, housing, health, property of the witness, his family and relatives are in danger, his interrogation should be conducted in conditions that ensure the confidentiality of personal information. It is emphasized that when deciding on the question of conducting an interrogation of a witness, it is worth giving priority to the safety of the witness, his family and friends, without risking the loss of potential evidence. Arguments are given that, for tactical reasons, it is expedient to question a witness in a court session by an investigating judge during a pre-trial investigation, or in the mode of a video conference using technical means from another room, in particular outside the court premises, to ensure the confidentiality of personal information. It was emphasized that obtaining objective information from minors and ensuring their safety at the same time depends on the skillful organization by the investigators of the procedure of questioning such a witness with the participation of a legal representative and a psychologist, as well as taking measures to ensure the confidentiality of information about the minor. In cases where a witness declares illegal influence after testifying, in order to keep information about his identity confidential, it is advisable to conduct the interrogation again with the assignment of the pseudonym of the participant in the investigative (search) action to the witness. In order to expand the procedural capabilities of the witness and his representative, in particular with regard to ensuring the safety of the witness due to the existence of a danger to life and health, the position is advocated for granting the right to the witness and his legal representative to apply to the investigating judge with a request to interrogate such a person in a court session in order Art. 225 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, in particular the simultaneous interrogation of two or more already interrogated persons.
