Introduction. The article provides an overview of international measurement systems for works and services on the example of Great Britain, the peculiarities of their application, the main advantages and disadvantages. Using the example of the Standard Method of Measurement in Civil Engineering (CESMM), the article discusses how such systems can contribute to accurate measurements, time and resource savings in road construction. The experience of applying CESMM4 on road facilities in Ukraine is also considered. Problem statement. In construction in general, the use of international measurement systems is crucial for optimizing processes and improving the quality of project implementation. According to the requirements of the modern construction sector, the ability to generate bill of quantities (BoQ) according to international standards defines a new stage in the planning and implementation of construction projects. The use of international measurement systems allows not only to standardize the scope of work and services but also ensures objectivity in the preparation of tender proposals. Obtaining information on the scope of work without prices according to international standards guarantees equality and objectivity in the evaluation and selection of a contractor. This approach also helps to unify communication between all participants in the construction process, which, in turn, increases the level of mutual understanding and promotes the implementation of modern technologies and best practices. However, today there is no clarity on the detailed measurement and description of construction works, as even within one country there are a number of systems for measuring works and services.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has been a silent pandemic. Newer antibiotics are required to treat drug-resistant
pathogens. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising next-generation antibiotics that are naturally produced in all
living organisms. They are crucial components of the natural resistance framework of an organism. Small cationic peptides of 10-60 amino acid
lengths have been successfully used as antibiotics. Marine ecosystems have an immense diversity of organisms and microorganisms that interact
with each other, and thus have unique defense mechanisms. Marine cone snails are an untapped source of small, cationic AMPs. These snails
secrete various proteinaceous venoms to deal with predators and preys. These cone snail venoms remain unexplored for their potential as
antimicrobial peptides. The structural analysis of the venomous protein, Turritoxin PaIAa, from cone snails showed a high content of amino acids
commonly found in AMPs. However, it did not exhibit any antibacterial activity. This protein was further investigated by overlap fractionation to
identify hidden antimicrobial and cell-penetrating peptides. The unique peptide stretches obtained from PaIAa were evaluated against the toppriority ESKAPE pathogens. All peptides were active against A. baumannii. All peptides had cell-penetrating properties. These AMP candidates
also showed promising physical, physicochemical, and pharmacokinetic properties. The AMP candidates identied in this study can be further
evaluated by in vitro and in vivo testing.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BARRON'S BANDING VERSUS SCLEROTHERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HAEMORRHOIDS
Authors: Mandal Manas Mukul , Poddar Saptarshi
Published: May 2024

Haemorrhoid poses a surgical challenge in the anorectal region causing considerable discomfort and psychological
distress to the patient. With the advent of non-surgical interventions, such as infrared coagulation and bipolar diathermy,
the frequency of haemorrhoidectomies has declined. This study aims to compare the efcacy of sclerotherapy and rubber band ligation in
managing haemorrhoids, focusing on post-operative complications and recurrence. Over one and half years, 100 haemorrhoid patients aged 19 to
66 years were enrolled in this study from a peripheral medical college in West Bengal, India. Patients underwent either Barron's banding or
sclerotherapy with 5% phenol in olive oil. Post-operative outcomes were addressed at intervals, including pain, bleeding and infection at one
week, four weeks and six months. Results revealed a signicant reduction in post-operative pain in patients treated with Barron's band ligation
compared to sclerotherapy (p<0.003 at one week and p<0.001 at one month). Additionally, fewer cases of wound infection were observed in the
banding group. Recurrence rates were signicantly higher in the sclerotherapy group at six months (p=0.03).
FRUSTRATION TOLERANCE AND HELPLESSNESS IN WIVES OF ALCOHOL DEPENDENTS AND HEALTHY CONTROLS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: Kumar Sharma Pushpendra , Singh Shiv Kumar
Published: May 2024

Alcohol dependence is a psychiatric disorder characterized by an inability to control or reduce alcohol consumption
despite experiencing adverse consequences across various life domains. The cyclical pattern of relapse and recovery
associated with this disorder perpetuates ongoing challenges for the wives of individuals with alcohol dependence. Repeatedly witnessing their
husband's problematic drinking patterns often erodes their sense of hope, making it increasingly difcult for them to maintain emotional stability.
Consequently, their frustration tolerance becomes diminished. Moreover, due to the chronic and recurrent nature of alcohol dependence, the
wives' coping efforts frequently yield limited success, leading to a profound sense of helplessness. The present study aimed to compare frustration
tolerance and helplessness levels in wives of individuals with alcohol dependence and wives of healthy controls. A sample of 100 wives of alcohol
dependents was selected through purposive sampling and compared with 100 wives of healthy control subjects on the scales of frustration
tolerance and helplessness. The results revealed that wives of alcohol dependents scored signicantly lower on frustration tolerance and higher on
helplessness compared to wives of healthy controls.

The unanticipated and incidental discovery of intestinal malrotation during radical cystectomy can generate few queries
regarding the anatomic construction of the urinary diversion and can be a dilemma for the operating urologist. We describe
such a case in which we navigated this anatomic surprise with simplicity and avoided unnecessary additional surgical manoeuvres, thus proving
the feasibility of conventional anatomic approach to conduit creation in such an unforeseen situation.
Assessing the Economic Feasibility of Tourism around IKN: Does it Beyond the SDG Standards?
Authors: Fitriadi Fiitriadi , Priyagus Priyagus , Darma Dio Caisar
Published: May 2024

The aim of this paper outlines four urgent reason for tourism to follow up on national targets. In the SDGs document, one of the benchmarks for economic intensity is actualized in the function of tourism in boosting welfare. Using a descriptive approach, secondary data is sourced from government publications, as illustrated by pillar 8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth”. Then, the investigation was converted to IKN (PPU) and 2 zones around IKN (Balikpapan-Kutai Kartanegara) with a frequency of 6 years. With the panel evaluation, several varied estimates were found. First, in parameter 1 (proportion of tourism contribution to GRDP), parameter 2 (number of foreign tourists), and parameter 3 (volume of domestic tourist visits), all the regions analyzed do not meet the SDG target. Second, in parameter 4 (foreign exchange or similar income from tourism), Kukar and Balikpapan have reached the standard, but PPU does not meet the criteria designed by the government. The expectations of this manuscript inspire stakeholders to resolve inequalities in the tourism sector, particularly in inter-line collaboration. Advanced academic studies can adopt or consider existing research through fresher thinking. The broader implications emphasize the maximum tourism potential in IKN.

Published: May 2024

The issue of sustainability has become the focus of attention of practitioners, governments and researchers in all contexts, including the tourism sector, so it is important to examine the impact of one form of tourism sustainability, namely community based tourism (CBT) on tourists' desire to revisit tourism destinations. This study aims to examine perceptions of CBT performance on satisfaction and its impact on revisit intention and word of mouth (WOM) intention. This research uses primary data by distributing questionnaires online. The characteristics of the respondents in this research are people who have visited tourist destinations in DI Yogyakarta. A total of 168 respondents were collected. Data were analyzed using structural equation models using SmartPLS 3.2.9 software. The tests carried out consisted of testing the measurement model and testing the inner model. The research results show that the performance of community based tourism (CBT) has a significant effect on tourist satisfaction, tourist satisfaction has a significant effect on intention to revisit, and tourist satisfaction has a significant effect on word of mouth. The results of this research suggest that tourism developers and the government can collaborate and regularly measure CBT performance so that they continue to provide pleasant services and experiences to tourists so that tourists visit again and even voluntarily invite other people to visit tourist destinations.

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-19 pandemic affected the whole world, with a particularly high and severe incidence in patients with co-morbidities such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The SARS-CoV-2 variants, Delta and Omicron, posed an additional challenge in the management of these patients because of their virulence and high transmissibility. Objective: To assess the disturbance of certain biomarkers in COVID-19-positive T2DM patients in Pointe-Noire. Methods: We performed a descriptive cross-sectional study on a cohort of 206 type 2 diabetic patients affected by COVID-19. Blood samples were taken for analysis of biomarkers (CBC, ESR, CRP, GLY, and HbA1c, lipid profile, urea and creatinine). RNA was extracted from nasopharyngeal samples and PCR was performed to determine the presence of Delta and Omicron variants. Results: The mean age of our patients was 56.33 ± 12 years. The Delta variant was the most common 132 (64.08%), followed by the other variants 57 (27.67%) and Omicron 17 (8.25%). We observed significant disturbances (p<0.05) in biomarkers as a function of Delta and Omicron variants concerning: TC, TG, HDL, LDL, DDI, VS, CRP, GLY, and HbA1c. Conclusion: We identified the Delta variant as the most frequent in the diabetic population studied. Almost all biological markers studied were disrupted during COVID-19 infection in the type 2 diabetic population.

Based on our analysis of literary sources, the results of monitoring and our own research, it was found that viral enteritis occupies a leading place in the infectious pathology of dogs and causes significant damage to animal owners. Given the relevance of this issue, the result of our research is the clarification, addition and generalization of data on the patho-morphology of various organs of dogs with coronavirus enteritis, which will make it possible to find out in more detail the effect of the causative agent of the disease on the animal body.
The article presents the results of the study of macroscopic changes in dogs with coronavirus enteritis. According to the results of the pathological and anatomical autopsy of the puppies, microscopic changes are observed in the internal organs, namely, serous lymphadenitis, swelling and hyperemia of the thymus and pancreas, the kidneys are unevenly colored brown with local infarctions in the heart, enlargement of the left part, spotty hemorrhages in the spleen, lungs in places had signs of hemostasis, the mucous membrane of loops of the small intestine with signs of catarrhal and hemorrhagic inflammation. Lymph nodes, moderately hyperplastic, with signs of hemorrhagic inflammation. The set of patho-anatomical signs listed above can be considered characteristic of canine coronavirus enteritis.
Thus, the set of patho-anatomical changes we discovered in puppies with coronavirus infection can be considered a characteristic criterion for the patho-morphological diagnosis of coronavirus enteritis in dogs.

A significant number of infectious diseases are transmitted from sick animals to humans, which causes a danger to their lives and health. Therefore, of great importance is continuous epizootological monitoring of the dynamics of the appearance and spread of infectious animal diseases and the analysis of the risks of introducing pathogens of particularly dangerous animal diseases into the territory of Ukraine. Diseases of prion etiology are currently the most dangerous for human health. In view of this, the main attention during the fight against prion diseases is paid to preventive measures, in particular the ban on the use of meat-and-bone or bone meal made from sheep that died and were sick with scrapie in livestock feed, as well as the slaughter of prion-infected ruminants.
Since 2017, Ukraine has been implementing the Program for determining the status of Ukraine as a country with a controlled risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), approved by the Order of the State Production and Consumer Service № 258 dated April 14, 2017. One of the basic elements of the program is the monitoring of feeds. In accordance with the Plan for State Monitoring of Fodder for Ruminant Animals in 2023, research was conducted on 120 samples of fodder from different regions of Ukraine. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) № 51/2013 and Commission Regulation № 1560/2020, the determination of ingredients of animal origin in feed is carried out using a combination of light microscopy and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR-RT). The presence of components of animal origin (meat and bone, bone, meat meal, etc.) was not detected during the examination of fodder by light microscopy. When examining feed by the PCR method, the presence of ruminant DNA was detected in only two samples. When examining feed by the PCR method, the presence of ruminant DNA was detected in two samples. However, when reviewing the accompanying documents, it was established that the manufacturer declared the introduction of dry milk into the feed. By the EU Regulation and Instruction № 180 dated 04.09.2008, approved by the order of the State Veterinary Medicine Committee of Ukraine, ruminants are allowed to feed such fodder.

The article presents data on the determination of the entomofauna of zoophilous flies in the conditions of the cattle breeding farm. Were subjected to parasitological research cattle of various ages: dairy cows, heifers of mating age, calves. The research was carried out on pastures, in production premises and walking areas. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the main representatives of zoophilic flies parasitizing animals in pasture conditions were: Lyperosia irritans, Haematobia stimulans, Musca autumnalis Musca vitripennis. The following types of flies in the case of animals staying in the production premises, were identified on them: Musca domestic, Fannia canicularus, Calliphora uralensis, Calliphora visina, Lucilia sericata and Muscina stabulans. It was established that the extent of infestation by zoophilous flies was 100% among all age groups of cattle. Intensity of infestation in the group of dairy cows was 270.22±4.28 specimens/animal, among heifers and heifers of mating age – 244.67±3.49 specimens/animal, and among calves – 81.67±1.14 specimens/animal. We identified a clear trend regarding the specifics of parasitic insect damage in cattle of different breeds. When staying within the same production group, the highest intensity of infestation (354.50±5.08 insects per animal) was found in black Holstein cows, and the lowest II indicator was found in Simmental cows - 159.83±1.41 insects per animal. The intensity of the infestation of cows by zoophilic flies among representatives of the Holstein breed is 28% higher than that of the Simmental breed, and also 25% higher than that of the cows of the Ukrainian black-spotted dairy breed. It was noted that with high indicators of the intensity of invasion by zoophilous flies, the animals showed the maximum degree of restlessness, when analyzing behavioral reactions and the level of well-being of cows. It manifested itself in a constant effort to be in motion. Therefore, as a result of the conducted complex of studies, the extreme relevance of insecticidal treatments of cattle of different age groups has been proven, since a wide range of zoophilic flies has been identified in the places where animals stay.
Effect of deformation on structural-phase state of structural steel and on formation of its yield strength and degree of hardening
Authors: Ababkov N.V. , Smirnov A.N. , Popova N.A. , Pimonov M.V. , Degtyareva O.N.
Published: May 2024

The work shows that the values of the yield strength of steel 20 after long-term operation and deformation, obtained experimentally and by calculation, differ significantly. This is primarily due to the fact that all coefficients require experimental verification. However, the data obtained can be used to determine the role of each contribution (in %) in relation to the total received. Relaxation of such high local internal stresses (due to the appearance and intensive growth of the elastic component) can (and does) occur only through the destruction of the sample, which is what is observed. Therefore, it is the emergence and increase of local internal stresses that leads to the destruction of the sample.

MODEL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REFORMS OF THE NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors:   Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor at the Department of System Analysis in Economics, Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russia, Drogobytskiy Ivan N.
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the perniciousness of educational reforms in our country. An original model of the internal dynamics of the national higher education system has been constructed, which consists of 60 blocks and includes seven feedback loops or basic archetypes. Each circuit reflects a specific measure to modernize the system at the current time. In particular, within the framework of the general scheme of modernization, the following measures were analyzed, dictated by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and carried out by universities. A meaningful analysis of the basic archetypes of the activities made it possible to determine the expected consequences of their implementation and the cumulative contribution to the current reform of the higher education system in Russia. The article is based on the methodology of system analysis, supported by the author's method of structural modeling of organizational and economic processes. The latter is simple – it includes XNUMX descriptive constructions – and allows you to build and analyze models of structural dynamics in a "manual" mode, with the help of which you can determine the development trends of the system under study for the foreseeable future. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the national system of higher education is in a state of bifurcation. At the very beginning of market reforms, wanting to immediately integrate into the world educational space, it was taken out of the highly productive stable state achieved in the Soviet period, and has not yet been brought anywhere. As the analysis showed, all archetypes (feedback loops), reflecting the ongoing activities, are reinforcing in nature and cannot provide a controlled drift of the system to the desired state. The article developed recommendations, the implementation of which will allow to systematize (restore consistency) the national system of higher education in a new highly productive state in the near future, and ensure its further development in accordance with the requirements of the current moment.

Attachment in the Context of Early Years Pedagogical Practice: Early Childhood Educator and Director Insights
Authors: Bonnett Tina , France Donna
Published: May 2024

Given that early childhood education and care is relationship laden, research into attachment can contribute towards our understanding of early childhood education relationships. There is, however, a lack of research in this field and available research is largely absent of the voices of early childhood professionals and directors who work in early years environments. On these grounds a qualitative instrumental case study, nested in a social constructivist paradigm, was designed in Ontario, Canada, to gain insight into how attachment is (dis)embodied in their practice. The ten interviews that informed findings suggest that although attachment merges with practice, reluctance exists to intentionally embrace attachment theorizing and terminology. Instead, attachment is cloaked in care and love discourse, with "two-sided" inclinations. Participants of this study compel pre and in-service organizations to fortify their training to ensure that pedagogical approaches espouse the cornerstones of attachment theory and terminology, most notably to counter attachment (mis)understandings. Findings furthermore point to the intersectionality between the personal attachment history of professionals who work with young children, and their capacity to nurture security in their pedagogical practice.

Authors: Sponza Deli̇a Teresa , Özteki̇n Ruki̇ye
Published: May 2024

In this study, for removal of the leather industry pollutants and to recovery of chromium (Cr), dichloromethane (DCM) and tetrachloroethane (TCE) two sequential nanofiltration (NF) (NF90 and NF270) and two reverse osmosis (RO) (BW30 and SW30) reactor membranes were used. The membrane surface properties were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy-Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The permeate of the SW30 reverse osmosis exhibited high removals varying between 98% and 99% for sodium ion (Na+ ), potassium ion (K+ ), magnesium ions (Mg2+), calcium ions (Ca2+), total chemical oxygen demand (CODtotal), dissolved chemical oxygen demand (CODdis), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and inert chemical oxygen demand (inert COD), Chromium (Cr3+ ), Dichloromethane and Tetrachloroethane. In the NF90 nanofiltration process lower removals were detected (96%-97%) for all pollutants mentioned above. The effluent of reverse osmosis with a BW30 membrane match to the Turkish Water Pollution Control Regulation rules for treated water discharged to the receiving environment while SW30 reverse osmosis membrane was perfect for ultimate treatment of the pollutants present in the leather industry discharges. From the concentrate of the SW30 reverse osmosis, 945 mg/l chromium, 460 mg/l dichloromethane and 360 mg/l tetrachloroethane were reused. The performance and recoveries of Cr and two solvents (DCM and TCE) data in NF and RO membrane reactors were evaluated with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) process and Kruskal Wallis test statistic coupled with Mann-Whitney U statistic in this study.
The Motivation Paradox: Exploring Copyright’s Assumptions About Creativity and the Allocation of Creative Resources
Authors: Ng Alina
Published: May 2024

Copyright is instrumental in promoting the progress of science by encouraging authors and other creators to produce and disseminate creative works by granting them an exclusive property right over the creative resources they produce. However, only some copyrighted works correlate with this goal. Some works do not promote a better society, while others harm society’s well-being. The existence of these works demonstrates that the legal structures in copyright law are somehow encouraging the production of works that do not correlate with the goals of progress. One reason might be that the law has not adequately defined the word “progress.” The ill-definition of progress, the grant of exclusive property rights over creative resources, and the reliance on market rewards to support the incentive to create all undermine the creation of socially impactful works that have a more direct bearing on societal progress.
This Article hypothesizes that the cause for the disconnect between creative production and societal progress is due to copyright law’s assumption that there is a single motivator for creativity, which is market rewards, when human beings are motivated to creativity for a multitude of reasons—some intrinsic, such as the innate desire to improve and make a difference, and others extrinsic, such as the motivator to make money from the market. This Article will show how artistic and creative works created by an intrinsically motivated author or creator can facilitate dialogue, include and support marginalized communities, create social change, and mobilize people for social innovation. This indicates that the content of creative works and their impact on society vary depending on whether the author or creator was intrinsically or extrinsically motivated when the work was created, meaning that motivators matter when producing works. As a result, this Article proposes that intrinsic motivators must be insulated from extrinsic ones and presents a taxonomy of normative arrangements of how creative resources may be allocated in society based on the first author’s and subsequent users’ motivation for creating works.
