Human granulocyte–colony stimulating factor (GCSF) is one of the pharmacological proteins that can be isolated from the milk of transgenic (TG) animals. The plasmid containing the human GCSF gene under the control of regulatory elements of the bovine β-lactoglobulin gene and the reporter green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene under the cytomegalovirus (cmv) promoter were obtained. The use of the selected promoters ensures tissue-specific expression of the target protein in the mammary gland of the TG producing animal and a high level of early expression of the reporter protein in eukaryotic cells, which makes it possible to detect TG embryos at the cultivation stage and perform their preimplantation selection. Testing of the gene construct effectiveness was carried out on TG rabbits obtained by microinjection into the male pronucleus of zygotes. It was concluded that GFP is toxic to embryos in the early stages of development due to overexpression of the EGFP gene under a strong cmv promoter. The TG female rabbit (F0) was obtained, in which the level of human GKSF in milk and blood serum was assessed by the ELISA method. Of the 22 baby rabbits obtained from her in four kindling, two were transgenic. Offspring (F1) was obtained from the TG male F0, 56 % of which were males, of which 88 % were TG and did not differ from ordinary rabbits in terms of health. Among females, TG was 10 %, and they died within two weeks after birth.

Authors: Alhussain Ahmed H. , Alotaibi Fay A. , Almagushi Nouf A. , Alotaibi Wafa S. x
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Rotator cuff repair is a widely performed orthopedic surgical procedure to ease pain and restore shoulder movement in individuals with tears in the rotator cuff. This meta-analysis examined the relationship between preoperative HbA1c levels and susceptibility to postoperative complications following rotator cuff tear repair surgery.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies published until July 2023 were identified across multiple databases.

Results: The meta-analysis included 14 articles (3 prospective, 11 retrospective) with 113,286 diabetic and 342,895 non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients were slightly older on average. There were more males and smokers in the non-diabetic group, while the diabetic group had more hypertensive patients. Diabetic patients had worse outcomes, including higher rates of rotator cuff retears (RR 1.62;95%1.27, 2.06; P<0.001). Non-diabetic patients generally achieved better healing (OR;2.68;95%CI;1.45,4.95;P=0.002), pain, and range of motion improvements. Diabetes did not significantly impact infection risk or hospital utilization.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that optimizing glycemic control in diabetic patients may be important for improving outcomes following rotator cuff repair. This opens new avenues for research to understand the mechanisms driving the differences in outcomes between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Developing strategies to minimize the negative impact of diabetes on rotator cuff injuries and repair procedures could be beneficial.

ABSTRACT
 
The increasing trend of vaname shrimp cultivation production encourages farmers to increase their cultivation production. The success of vaname shrimp cultivation can be seen from the ability to measure the capacity of shrimp biomass in maintenance activities and stocking density patterns based on the maximum capacity of the pond in each plot. The purpose of this study was to analyze vaname shrimp cultivation activities for a period of 2 years (2023-2024) in intensive system ponds based on different stocking density patterns at 140 shrimp/m2 and 190 shrimp/m2. This study was carried out for 6 cultivation cycles, each cycle was carried out for 100 days. The results of statistical tests showed that the shrimp stocking density pattern had a significant effect (p <0.05) on biomass, productivity, survival and feed conversion ratio. The average survival rate of 140 shrimp/m2 stocking density was 85.33%, biomass was 3,327.75 kg, FCR was 1.44 and productivity was 30.8 tons/ha. The average survival rate with a stocking density of 190 shrimp/m2 was 73.66%, biomass 1,981.87 kg, FCR 1.59 and productivity 12.38 tons/ha. This shows that biomass, SR, and productivity decreased while FCR tended to increase in cultivation with a stocking density of 190 shrimp/m2. The results of water quality showed an increase in the Total Organic Matter value of 110-250 mg/l at a stocking of 190 shrimp/m2. This shows that there is an increase in organic matter in the maintenance pond which affects the survival of shrimp in the pond so that it affects the biomass and productivity of whiteleg shrimp. A stocking density of 140 shrimp/m2 can be recommended for application in intensive whiteleg shrimp cultivation.

Resumo
A origem da violência
Authors: Albuquerque Raimundo Fabrício Paixão
Published: January 2025

Este livro nos convida a uma reflexão profunda sobre a origem da violência, um tema que, embora presente em diversas esferas da sociedade humana, permanece envolto em complexidade e controvérsia. Ao longo de suas páginas, somos desafiados a questionar as raízes dessa violência, que não se revela apenas em seus atos visíveis e explícitos, mas que, de maneira sutil, também se insinua nos recantos da psique humana. O autor, com uma sensibilidade aguçada, nos leva a revisitar teorias clássicas e contemporâneas sobre o tema, iniciando com Freud e sua visão essencialista, que vê a violência como algo intrínseco ao ser humano, uma força primitiva que habita as profundezas do inconsciente. Freud, para muitos, é uma figura desconcertante, pois ao desnudar os aspectos mais sombrios da natureza humana, revela um lado da psique que, muitas vezes, preferimos ignorar. E assim, a violência, sob sua ótica, deixa de ser uma anomalia social ou uma exceção histórica, mas se apresenta como parte de nossa constituição básica. Mas a leitura não se restringe à visão freudiana. O autor também nos provoca a reconsiderar outras correntes de pensamento, como a marxista, que vê na violência um reflexo das desigualdades sociais e dos conflitos econômicos. Como nos lembra Marx, a violência não é apenas um reflexo da natureza humana, mas uma manifestação das condições materiais e das relações sociais que formam o tecido de nossa realidade. Nesse ponto, a obra faz um importante movimento dialético, ressaltando que a violência é tanto um produto da psique humana quanto uma consequência das condições sociais em que o indivíduo está inserido. Em todas essas abordagens, o que se revela de forma imponente é a complexidade da violência, que não pode ser reduzida a um único fator. A violência está em nós, mas também está ao nosso redor, moldada pelas condições históricas, sociais e culturais. Ela é, como o autor sugere, uma condição humana que se manifesta de formas múltiplas e, muitas vezes, inesperadas. Este livro, ao explorar essas múltiplas dimensões da violência, nos desafia a confrontar a realidade de nosso ser humano com um olhar mais profundo e, ao mesmo tempo, mais crítico. Ele nos lembra que, apesar dos avanços civilizatórios, a violência ainda é uma marca indelével da experiência humana. E talvez, ao compreendê-la em suas diversas origens e formas, possamos um dia encontrar um caminho para superá-la ou, pelo menos, para entendê-la de maneira mais humana e menos dogmática. É com esse olhar inquieto e provocador que este livro nos propõe uma jornada de reflexão sobre a violência, que, mais do que um problema social, é um dilema existencial.

Published: January 2025

Research skills are required in studying environmental science because many environmental problems require analytical skills to find effective solutions. However, students’ research skills remain insufficient and need to be strengthened. This study investigates whether the research team-based learning (RTBL) model effectively develops students’ research skills in environmental science courses. This study used a sequential explanatory mixed method approach. A total of 119 students taking environmental science courses spread across 3 experimental classes, namely RTBL, research-based learning (RBL), and team-based learning (TBL) were included in this study. The research data were gathered using research skill questionnaires, research reports, and semi-structured interviews. This study’s findings show that the RTBL model is superior compared to the RBL and TBL models in strengthening students’ research skills in environmental science courses. The RTBL model can be utilized as an alternative effective learning model that assists students improve their research skills in environmental science courses.
The impact of computerized adaptive test termination rules on accuracy across different ability estimation methods
Authors: Dwahdh Lana , Alshraifin Nedal
Published: January 2025

The study aimed to compare the termination rules of computerized adaptive testing (CAT), specifically the rule of termination after a fixed number of items versus the rule of termination based on the minimum standard error (SE), using the methods of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and maximum a posteriori. The goal was to assess the relative accuracy of each rule to determine which method provides the highest measurement accuracy. In order to address the objectives of the study, the researcher developed a mathematics item bank for the 6th and 7th grades consisting of 275 items. This bank was used to develop 6 achievement tests, three for 6th grade and three for 7th grade, with each test comprising 46 items. In addition, 10 items were common to all the tests and were used as a common core. The tests were conducted with 2612 students of class six and seven. For data and information analysis and processing, BILOG-MG-3.0, SPSS, and Fast Test Web v3.80.26 applications were used. Four different applications were performed on another sample of 403 students in order to evaluate the precision of the CAT procedure through several terminating criteria–a fixed criterion of 25 administered items and a criterion based on a SE of no larger than 0.25. From the results obtained, the accuracy of examinations is independent of the method used in estimating the parameters and that the determination of the fixed period is superior to the determination relating to SE. Moreover, the results revealed that adopting Bayes’ theorem and a termination rule determined by standard deviation improves precision of the estimation, though in a case where 25 items are used, MLE is the best.

Introducción: Actualmente se hace necesario el rescate de un cuidado más humano, por lo cual, se ha visualizado la necesidad de desarrollar indicadores de cuidado humanizado en enfermería que repercutan en el bienestar del paciente y
su familia. Objetivos: Desarrollar indicadores de cuidado humanizado en enfermería. Sujetos y método: Estudio de abordaje mixto. La fase cuantitativa correspondió a un estudio descriptivo, correlacional de corte transversal, con una muestra compuesta por 150 personas hospitalizadas. En la fase cualitativa se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo interpretativo, en el cual utilizó el proceso de codificación axial de la teoría fundamentada, en donde la muestra estuvo compuesta por 10 enfermeras(os) considerados expertos en la temática de cuidados humanizados. Posteriormente se realizó triangulación de la información de la cual emanaron los indicadores, siendo evaluados por parte de enfermeras(os) expertas(os) y finalizando con la validación de estos. Estudio autorizado por el Comité de Ética de la Facultad de Enfermería de la Universidad de Concepción, Chile. Resultados: La etapa cuantitativa, demostró que la percepción de los pacientes sobre el cuidado humanizado de enfermería era buena, con un puntaje promedio de 117,6 el cual corresponde al concepto “casi siempre” (casi siempre percibieron comportamientos de cuidado humanizado de las(os) enfermeras(os), sin embargo, la dimensión más baja fue: “comunicación efectiva” con un 23,3%de respuestas correspondientes a los conceptos “nunca” y “algunas veces”. De la etapa cualitativaemergieron cuatro dimensiones: “Cuidado de enfermería”, “cuidado humanizado”, “deshumanización del cuidado” y “experiencia de enfermedad”, de estas surgieron categorías y propiedades que permitieron caracterizar cada una de estas. Así, se identificaron elementos que proporcionaron la base para estos indicadores, dando lugar a dos susceptibles de ser aplicados en la práctica, uno que permite evaluarlo desde la perspectiva del paciente y otro para evaluar el compromiso institucional con la entrega de cuidados humanizados. Conclusión: La humanización de los cuidados es una necesidad sentida, por lo cual, se hace necesario fortalecerla. Así, se generaron indicadores de cuidado humanizado que surgieron desde la percepción de los pacientes, en donde se pesquisó que la comunicación debía ser una dimensión a fortalecer y de enfermeras(os), en donde emergieron aspectos del cuidado humanizado importantes de ser evaluados y no contemplados en la fase cuantitativa, de esta forma los indicadores de cuidado humanizado se convierten en una potente herramienta para la práctica de enfermería y para las instituciones de salud, al velar por un cuidado humanizado y de calidad.

Published: January 2025

Pregnant women commonly consume caffeine to avoid fatigue or as a habit. However, it has not been clearly determined what is its side effects on their bodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological changes associated with caffeine consumption and the modulating effects of ascorbic acid in pregnant Wistar rats. Forty nulliparous female Wistar rats were mated with male rats in a ratio of 2:1. Then they were monitored for pregnancy and randomly divided into four groups of ten rats each. Group A received distilled water while group B received caffeine at 0.3 g/l in drinking water. Group C received ascorbic acid at 100 mg/kg while group D received both caffeine and ascorbic Acid at 0.3 g/l and 100 mg/kg respectively. Their body weights were recorded every 3 days throughout the gestation period, while water consumption was monitored and recorded daily as well as the gestation length. At parturition the birth weight and litter size of the pups were recorded. There was a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in weight gain and gestation length but a significant (p < 0.05) increase in water consumption in the Dams administered caffeine when compared with the control. A significant (p < 0.05) decrease in birth weight of the pups was observed in the caffeine treated group as well as a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in litter size in the group that was administered only ascorbic acid when compared with the control. Ascorbic acid was able to modulate these changes in Wistar rats.

Authors: Grimov Oleg Aleksandrovich
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to identify the current characteristics and trends in the development of social network culture. The article reveals the general conditions of functioning of modern socio-network culture (the embodiment of various forms of public knowledge, the representative and performative nature of the expression of socio-cultural reality, the cultural diffusion of offline and online environments, the dichotomy of two types of orientation in the social network space: orientation to freedom and autonomy and orientation to regulation and control). Among the most significant trends in the development of social network culture at this stage, the tendency towards the sovereignty of the information space, the active introduction of artificial intelligence technologies, as well as new forms and principles of spatial embodiment are considered. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the socio-philosophical problematization of the functioning and development of the phenomena of social network culture, taking into account current social, ideological and technological trends. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the implementation of the considered trends cannot be reduced to a single vector and, as a result, meets the property of multivariative development, which determines the corresponding opportunities and limitations.

Russian literary classics: The problem of understanding (on the methodology of literary history)
Authors: Dzhamalova Iana Ianikovna , Evdokimova Olga Vladimirovna , Samoylova Elena Pavlovna
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this research is to identify the problematic field of Russian classical literature understanding. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the formulation of the problem of understanding Russian classics, which is relevant in modern culture, and in the in the search for a methodology for studying the history of Russian classical literature as a scientific and educational discipline. The analysis of the results of teaching the Russian classics at the university (Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia) and diagnostics made it possible to determine that the underlying reason for the misunderstanding of classical texts was a gap in the cognitive chain “Word – image – understanding”. It was found out that the starting point in this problem is the specific perception of the word in literature, which leads to the blurring of the boundaries between literature and information. It is not about the difficulty of reading or the level of knowledge required to understand a particular text or topic, but rather the epistemological challenge of comprehending Russian classical literature – its unique characteristics and the way it is presented. The article attempts to conceptualize the problem of understanding/misunderstanding of the Russian classics from the point of view of fundamental sciences. A research path has been identified that helps to overcome the revealed gap in the cognitive chain.

Pasternak's poem "Like Them" and in identifying the influence of the melody of the lyrical text on its semantic content. The article describes the techniques of constructing a poetic text, with the help of which the melodic structure of a poem is created, which is directly related to the meaning, semantic and syntactic aspects of the content of a lyrical work. The melody of a particular text is considered as an expressive sign that reveals the state of the hero, the author's position, and the intent of the entire lyrical work. The results of the study of the features of the melodic-forming system of lyrics, phonological and rhythmic-rhymological intersections in the melodic pattern of a poetic text are to identify ways to construct the semantic space of the text and determine the influence of the melodic poetic speech of B. L. Pasternak on the meaning of the work.

Authors: Martynenko Anastasia Vadimovna
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study is to identify the discursive characteristics of the conceptualization of the concept TRAVEL in song and poetic texts. The article presents the structure of the concept TRAVEL using the example of modern Russian author's texts related to song and poetic discourses. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in the study, based on the material of songs and poems from 2000-2021, cognitive features, definitions of travel, and subconcepts included in the concept TRAVEL are highlighted. As a result of the research, the features of the song and poetic discourses of the early 21st century have been established. The texts of the song discourse are characterized by cognitive signs: the confusion of the path, the inevitability of the path, the aimlessness of the path, longing, hope, freedom, self-search, etc.; definitions: lifestyle, metaphor of life, tourism, return, danger, dream, love, self-search, rock. In the texts of poetic discourse, cognitive signs are distinguished, they are changes within a person, the infinity of the path, danger, peace, freedom, etc., and definitions: life itself, tourism, freedom, metaphor of life, lifestyle, healing, uncomfortable environment. There is a difference in the representation of subconcepts (ROAD, MOUNTAINS, CITY, HOME, HOMELAND, ABROAD, etc.) in two types of discourse. A generalized model of perception of the concept TRAVEL for song and poetic discourses is being created.

The study aims to identify the features of naming of highly local geographical objects of the Irkutsk region, which, based on their motivations, can form the lexico-semantic groups “Space” and “Time”. The article analyzes geographical objects important for rural residents and productive motives for their naming, identifies types of microtoponyms that explicate the motivational features of space and time, and determines the linguocultural features of these toponymic lexemes. This allows us to gain understanding of their evaluative components. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the introduction of new factual material, which is considered an important component of regional culture: a source of information about the way of life, axiological attitudes, and preferences of Siberians. The semantic analysis of microtoponyms helps to determine the interpretative-semantic features of naming of geographical objects. The study found that the microtoponymy of the region is represented by diverse classes of toponymic lexemes, which reflect the specifics of regional naming and the values of rural residents of the Irkutsk region. The widespread toponymic metaphorization demonstrates people’s figurative perception of individual geographical objects and their emotional and expressive designation.

Published: January 2025

The modern labour market in the fashion industry requires specialists with creative thinking, strong communication skills, initiative, and with the ability for continuous self-education, and quick adaptation to the demands of modern production environments. These specialists must possess high professional competence and practical skills for working in the real production sector. To form such specialists, it is increasingly relevant to consider the issues regarding the interaction between higher professional education systems and potential employers, as well as the exploration of innovative forms of integration and mutual interest between universities and businesses. This research aims to explore methods of forming the professional competence of future fashion industry specialists, considering employers' experiences and their involvement in the educational process. To determine the impact of educational activities conducted in production environments on forming professional competence in future fashion industry specialists, principles of the systemic approach were used. Theoretical methods such as synthesis, analysis, and generalisation were employed,alongside empirical methods including observation, interviews, questionnaires, testing, and surveys. The research is devoted to solving the issues of forming professional competence in future specialists in the fashion industry and developing students’ interest in the future profession by involving experienced industry specialists in the educational process and using the technical base of enterprises. The authors proposed innovative models for forming professional competencies inhigher education students studying Speciality 182: Light Industry Technologies by conducting variouseducational events in the industrial environment. The authors share their practical experience in conducting educational activities for students of Speciality 182: Light Industry Technologies at fashion industry enterprises and the methods of organising classes in the production environment of factories. They offer the following recommendations: each educational component's curriculum should establish a mandatory list of activities involving employers and specify the content of the classes. It is advisable to carry out classes at fashion industry enterprises, as a form of educational activity, purposefully and systematically. These activities should be at least 10-15% of the total study time, provided that partners characterising production processes will emphasise the professional growth prospects, and the profession's importance, additionally increasing students’ motivation. The use of active teaching methods in the educational process contributes to the formation and development of future fashion industry specialists' general and professional competencies and the development of independent thinking, creative activity, readiness for continuous education and self-education.

In the field of digital electronics, devices operating in differential mode, such as LVDS, USB, and HDMI interfaces, are widely used. However, conductive interference, including electromagnetic and electrical disturbances, can degrade data transmission quality and cause device malfunctions. This study presents an analysis of the impact of an electromagnetic absorber (EA) on the time and frequency characteristics of a differential transmission line. The investigated structure is a two-conductor microstrip transmission line. The use of the EA helps reduce the propagation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) but also decreases the device's bandwidth. Specifically, the suppression of ultra-wideband interference increased from 3.52 times to 23.8 times with the EA, while the bandwidth decreased from 3 GHz to 0.5 GHz.
