Tourists’ Intention of Undertaking Environmentally Responsible Behavior in National Forest Trails: A Comparative Study
Authors: Zhang Qing , Popa Arporn , Sun Huazhen , Guo Weifeng , Meng Fang
Published: May 2022

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Norm Activation Model (NAM) are often employed to examine behavioral intention, but the perspective and attribute differences of these two models have been largely neglected. This study applies TPB and NAM to analyze and compare the intention of trail tourists to undertake environmentally responsible behavior (ERB), which may directly affect the sustainability of the trail system and the surrounding areas. A survey research approach was employed, and 452 responses were collected from tourists in three national forest trails in China. Beginners and experienced trail tourists were also categorized in the study for comparison purposes. Structural equation modeling was utilized in data analysis. The results demonstrate that the TPB model and the NAM model, which represent rationality and morality perspective respectively, are both suitable in explaining the intention of trail tourists to undertake ERB. Comparatively, the TPB model’s rationality perspective shows applicability in explaining both beginner and experienced trail tourists’ intention of undertaking ERB, whereas the NAM morality model only applies to experienced trail tourists. The study provides insights into better understanding and promotion recommendations of ERB in national forest trails.

Authors: Shayeghi Hossein , Seifi Ali , Hosseinpour Majid , Bizon Nicu
Published: May 2022

Reducing the number of components of power electronic converters has been an important research topic over the past few decades. This paper introduces a new structure for a multi-level inverter based on reduced switch basic modules. The proposed basic module requires fewer switches and auxiliary devices. In addition, a lesser number of on-state switches for the synthesis of each voltage level results in less conduction losses, which enhances the converter efficiency. The proposed structure is capable of being implemented in both symmetrical and asymmetrical topologies. This is a merit feature for the proposed topology, which produces high voltage levels with a limited number of elements. The proposed structure is controlled using the fundamental frequency control scheme. The proposed basic module consists of six unidirectional switches and five DC voltage sources, generating five positive voltage levels. The performance of the recommended topology is analyzed from the various circuitry parameters, and a comprehensive comparison carried out with similar recent structures. The presented comparison reveals the advantage of the recommended inverter from different aspects of the circuitry parameters. The suggested structure is simulated using Matlab/Simulink software, and its performance is validated using a laboratory prototype. The results are reported for various steady-state and dynamic conditions.
Examining the Use of Urban Growth Boundary for Future Urban Expansion of Chattogram, Bangladesh
Authors: Bajracharya Pankaj , Sultana Selima
Published: May 2022

With the rapid and unregulated nature of urban expansion occurring in Chattogram, Bangladesh, the adoption of urban growth restriction mechanisms such as the urban growth boundary (UGB) can provide a robust framework necessary to direct the development of built-up areas in a way that curtails the growth in environmentally sensitive areas of the city. Using a support vector machine (SVM)-based urban growth simulation model, this paper examines the areas of future contiguous expansion of the city to aid in the delineation of the UGB. Utilizing landcover, topographic, and population density data from a variety of sources for the past twenty years, the SVM method with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel is used to develop a model based on fourteen predictor variables. A grid-search is used to tune the hyperparameters and determine the best performance combination of the hyperparameters for the RBF kernel function used in the SVM. The final SVM model using the best performance combination of the hyperparameters indicates a high percentage agreement of 91.79% and a substantial agreement for the Kappa coefficient of 0.7699. The developed SVM simulation model identifies potential areas that are more likely to undergo urban expansion in Chattogram in the next twenty years and provides aids for a stringent and strict delineation of UGB for this region.

Authors: Wang Shijun , Peng Shengjiang , Sun Chang , Singh Amardeep , Cheng Ziyun , Tian Yunfei
Published: May 2022

In this study, the failure processes of modeled concrete specimens under shear force were studied. To investigate the cracks propagation and failure modes, modeled natural aggregate, modeled recycled aggregate, and modeled brick aggregate were used as coarse aggregate in the modeled concrete. Through digital image correlation (DIC) technology, the displacement field and strain field could be obtained by analyzing the change of the speckle position on the surface of the specimens. It was found that the shear strength of the modeled natural concrete (MNC) was the highest, the modeled recycled concrete (MRC) was the second, and the modeled brick aggregate concrete (MBC) was the lowest and only half of that of MNC. The shear crack of the MNC first appeared at the interface transition zone (ITZ) and propagated, resulting in the shear failure. The shear crack of MRC first appeared in the new ITZ and then expanded to the old ITZ. The shear crack of MBC extended through the brick aggregate. The study also found that, along with the compressive stress trace range, the MNC and the MRC have four vertical compressive strain concentration zones, while the MBC has only two strain concentration zones, which should result from the fact that the elastic modulus of the brick aggregate is lower than the surrounding hardened mortar. Therefore, there are no compressive strain concentration zones near the brick aggregate.

Published: May 2022

The appearance of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the world stage has implemented changes in all social activities and, therefore, in teaching at all educational levels. On the one hand, it is argued that the closure of centers and virtual teaching minimizes the risk of contagion and, on the other, this closure implies a reduction in social interactions in the population at ages in which social skills are lower developing. In addition, it is necessary to guarantee that all children and adolescents have access to the necessary means for distance education. This article analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the second, third and fourth waves in Galicia (northwestern region of Spain), where the centers were kept open with strict security protocols, with the aim of evaluating whether the measure of the center closure is a proportionate measure or not. The results obtained show that, at all educational levels, the incidence of infections has been low, as has the appearance of outbreaks of infections related to educational centers, so the damage caused by this measure can be considered uncompensated, with greater health security.

Published: May 2022

The study analyzes the performance levels achieved by Romanian wholesaler SMEs from Hunedoara County and to advance some practical courses of action designed to support local entrepreneurs in improving efficiency and in embracing circular economy (CE) practices. We employed cluster and discriminant analyses with a focus on providing an accurate classification of trade SMEs, according to their performance. Three distinct classifications of SMEs resulted in: (i) a class of enterprises displaying high levels of the rates of return, whose business owners exhibited an increased risk appetite and applied investment policies focusing on future development by means of incorporating digital instruments; (ii) a class of SMEs displaying average levels of rates of return, which manage to survive in situations of crisis through maintaining the position previously gained on the market; and (iii) a class of SMEs exhibiting a precarious financial position and employing defensive strategies, with managers who are reluctant to take risks in the innovation processes. Furthermore, we present a cloud computing solution which was tailored for one of the companies from our sample that appeared to be the most likely to carry out the transition from the average SME performance class to the higher class. The main advantages that are brought about by the IT solution in terms of environmental sustainability consist of: improvements in energy efficiency, the decrease in carbon footprints, the lowering of operational costs and the diminishing of the amount of e-waste.
A Review of the Performance and Benefits of Mass Timber as an Alternative to Concrete and Steel for Improving the Sustainability of Structures
Authors: Abed Joseph , Rayburg Scott , Rodwell John , Neave Melissa
Published: May 2022

The construction industry represents one of the greatest contributors to atmospheric emissions of CO2 and anthropogenic climate change, largely resulting from the production of commonly used building materials such as steel and concrete. It is well understood that the extraction and manufacture of these products generates significant volumes of greenhouse gases and, therefore, this industry represents an important target for reducing emissions. One possibility is to replace emissions-intensive, non-renewable materials with more environmentally friendly alternatives that minimise resource depletion and lower emissions. Although timber has not been widely used in mid- to high-rise buildings since the industrial revolution, recent advances in manufacturing have reintroduced wood as a viable product for larger and more complex structures. One of the main advantages of the resurgence of wood is its environmental performance; however, there is still uncertainty about how mass timber works and its suitability relative to key performance criteria for construction material selection. Consequently, the aim of this study is to help guide decision making in the construction sector by providing a comprehensive review of the research on mass timber. Key performance criteria for mass timber are reviewed, using existing literature, and compared with those for typical concrete construction. The review concludes that mass timber is superior to concrete and steel when taking into consideration all performance factors, and posits that the construction industry should, where appropriate, transition to mass timber as the low-carbon, high performance building material of the future.

Published: May 2022

Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) is usually used to aggregate fuzzy data successfully. Choosing the best option regarding data is not generally symmetric on the grounds that it does not provide complete information. Since Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators (AOs) have great impact due to their parameter variableness, they have been well applied in MADM under fuzzy construction. Recently, the Aczel-Alsina AOs on intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), interval-valued IFSs and T-spherical fuzzy sets have been proposed in the literature. In this article, we develop new types of Pythagorean fuzzy AOs by using Aczel-Alsina t-norm and Aczel-Alsina t-conorm. Thus, we give these new operations Aczel-Alsina sum and Aczel-Alsina product on Pythagorean fuzzy sets based on Aczel-Alsina t-norm and Aczel-Alsina t-conorm. We also develop new types of Pythagorean fuzzy AOs including Pythagorean fuzzy Aczel-Alsina weighted averaging and Pythagorean fuzzy Aczel-Alsina weighted geometric operators. We elaborate some characteristics of these proposed Aczel-Alsina AOs on Pythagorean fuzzy sets, such as idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness. By utilizing the proposed works, we solve an example of MADM in the information of the multinational company under the evaluation of impacts in MADM. We also illustrate the comparisons of the proposed works with previously existing AOs in different fuzzy environments. These comparison results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed Aczel-Alsina AOs on Pythagorean fuzzy sets.

Resistant bacteria prevail in most chronic skin wounds and other biofilm-related topical skin infections. Bacteriophages (phages) have proven their antimicrobial effectiveness for treating different antibiotic-resistant and multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, but not all phages are effective against biofilms. Phages possessing depolymerases can reach different biofilm layers; however, those that do not have depolymerase activity struggle to penetrate and navigate in the intricate 3D biofilm structure and mainly infect bacteria lodged in the outer biofilm layers. To address this, Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage vB_PaeM-SMS29, a phage with poor antibiofilm properties, was incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, Mowiol 4:88) supplemented with 0.1% (v/v) of glycerol, and cast onto two different microneedle arrays varying in geometry. The dissolving microneedles were thoroughly characterized by microscopy, force-displacement, swelling, phage release and stability. Furthermore, 48 h-old biofilms were formed using the colony biofilm procedure (absence of broth), and the antibiofilm efficacy of the phage-loaded microneedles was evaluated by viable cell counts and microscopy and compared to free phages. The phages in microneedles were fairly stable for six months when stored at 4 °C, with minor decreases in phage titers observed. The geometry of the microneedles influenced the penetration and force-displacement characteristics but not the antimicrobial efficacy against biofilms. The two PVA microneedles loaded with phages reduced P. aeruginosa PAO1 biofilms by 2.44 to 2.76 log10 CFU·cm−2 at 24 h. These values are significantly higher than the result obtained after the treatment with the free phage (1.09 log10 CFU·cm−2). Overall, this study shows that the distribution of phages caused by the mechanical disruption of biofilms using dissolving microneedles can be an effective delivery method against topical biofilm-related skin infections.

Published: May 2022

As countries transition from pandemic mitigation to endemic COVID-19, mass testing may blunt the impact on the healthcare system of the liminal wave. We used GeoDEMOS-R, an agent-based model of Singapore’s population with demographic distributions and vaccination status. A 250-day COVID-19 Delta variant model was run at varying maximal rapid antigen test sensitivities and frequencies. Without testing, the number of infections reached 1,021,000 (899,400–1,147,000) at 250 days. When conducting fortnightly and weekly mass routine rapid antigen testing 30 days into the outbreak at a maximal test sensitivity of 0.6, this was reduced by 12.8% (11.3–14.5%) and 25.2% (22.5–28.5%). An increase in maximal test sensitivity of 0.2 results a corresponding reduction of 17.5% (15.5–20.2%) and 34.4% (30.5–39.1%). Within the maximal test sensitivity range of 0.6–0.8, test frequency has a greater impact than maximal test sensitivity with an average reduction of 2.2% in infections for each day removed between tests in comparison to a 0.43% average reduction per 1% increase in test frequency. Our findings highlight that mass testing using rapid diagnostic tests can be used as an effective intervention for countries transitioning from pandemic mitigation to endemic COVID-19.

HIV-positive patients may present lungs with multiple infections, which may hinder differential diagnoses and the choice of treatment in the course of COVID-19, especially in countries with limited access to high-standard healthcare. Here, we aim to investigate the association between radiological changes and poor COVID-19 outcomes among HIV-positive patients from Central and Eastern Europe. Between November 2020 and May 2021, the Euroguidelines in Central and Eastern Europe Network Group started collecting observational data on HIV and COVID-19 co-infections. In total, 16 countries from Central and Eastern European submitted data (eCRF) on 557 HIV-positive patients. The current analyses included patients who had a radiological examination performed. Logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with death, ICU admission, and partial recovery (poor COVID-19 outcomes). Factors that were significant in the univariate models (p < 0.1) were included in the multivariate model. Radiological data were available for 224 (40.2%) patients, 108 (48.2%) had computed tomography, and 116 (51.8%) had a chest X-ray. Of these, 211 (94.2%) were diagnosed using RT-PCR tests, 212 (94.6%) were symptomatic, 123 (55.6%) were hospitalized, 37 (16.6%) required oxygen therapy, and 28 (13.1%) either died, were admitted to ICU, or only partially recovered. From the radiologist’s description, 138 (61.6%) patients had typical radiological changes, 18 (8.0%) atypical changes, and 68 (30.4%) no changes. In the univariate models, CD4 count (OR = 0.86 [95% CI: 0.76–0.98]), having a comorbidity (2.33 [1.43–3.80]), HCV and/or HBV co-infection (3.17 [1.32–7.60]), being currently employed (0.31 [0.13–0.70]), being on antiretroviral therapy (0.22 [0.08–0.63]), and having typical (3.90 [1.12–13.65]) or atypical (10.8 [2.23–52.5]) radiological changes were all significantly associated with poor COVID-19 outcomes. In the multivariate model, being on antiretroviral therapy (OR = 0.20 [95% CI:0.05–0.80]) decreased the odds of poor COVID-19 outcomes, while having a comorbidity (2.12 [1.20–3.72]) or either typical (4.23 [1.05–17.0]) or atypical (6.39 [1.03–39.7]) radiological changes (vs. no changes) increased the odds of poor COVID-19 outcomes. Among HIV patients diagnosed with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, the presence of either typical or atypical radiological COVID-19 changes independently predicted poorer outcomes.
The personality of the poets in the Purananuru

Published: May 2022

Sangam literature is a time mirror that reflects life events in languages ​​in which the heroism and generosity of four hundred kings have been described. From time immemorial, the Guru has been revered as a deity after his mother and father as the Guru's deity. The idea that only the Guru can heal the family, the student, and the country has been around. In Sanskrit literature, poets had the right to rebuke the king and to give him loving advice to make the country prosperous for the good of a king. In the late nineteenth century, poets primarily portrayed the heroism and generosity of kings through their songs. Not only male poets but also female poets excelled in this. Songs sung by individual poets All the songs in this book are sung about public justice without being sung about anyone There are hundreds of poets who mention the names of poets but also mention the names of kings.
LOS ESTOMAS DE MYRTILLOCACTUS GEOMETRIZANS (Mart. ex. Pfeiff.) Console (Cactaceae): VARIACIÓN EN SU ÁREA DE DISTRIBUCIÓN

Published: May 2022

Se determinó el tamaño y la densidad de los estomas en 20 poblaciones de Myrtillocactus geometrizans (Mart. ex. Pfeiff.) Console para saber si la posición del segmento de la rama y la distribución geográfica modifican el tipo, densidad y tamaño de los estomas. Se recolectaron 49 muestras en los Estados de San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Puebla y Oaxaca. De cada rama se removieron segmentos de epidermis de 1.8 cm de diámetro de las regiones apical y media; en ellos se cuantificó densidad de estomas/mm2 y su longitud. Los resultados mostraron que los estomas son paralelocíticos en todas las poblaciones, sin diferencias para el tamaño del estoma entre la posición apical y media de la rama (P > 0.41), pero sí para la densidad (P < 0.0001); no se detectó una correlación significativa entre ambas (P > 0.27). Este comportamiento probablemente está relacionado con la maduración de las células epidérmicas. Se encontraron diferencias significativas para la densidad de estomas y su tamaño entre poblaciones (P ≤ 0.05), con 18 estomas/mm2 en San Pedro Jocotipac y 30 estomas/mm2 en Santa María del Río, mientras que en Barranca de Tolimán los estomas fueron de 33.97 μm y en Paradero Villele de 45.57 μm. A pesar de la diferencia altitudinal de 1300 m no se detectó efecto altitudinal en ninguna de estas dos variables evaluadas (P > 0.07 y 0.90). Tanto densidad como tamaño de estomas se asociaron positivamente con la latitud (P < 0.02 y 0.0001).

Published: May 2022

AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet (DUV) micro-light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) with emission wavelengths between 277 and 304 nm with mesa dimensions down to 20 μm were fabricated. Their size-dependent electrical and optical characteristics were analyzed. At 20 A cm−2, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) increased from 2.0% to 2.3% mainly due to the improved light extraction efficiency; the forward voltage was 7.6 V in 20 μm sized μLEDs in comparison to 9.1 V in 300 μm LEDs due to better current spreading in the smaller devices. The peak EQEs of the 20 μm μLEDs were 2.5% and 4.0% for 277 and 304 nm, among the highest reported for DUV μLEDs.

STUDY OF CORRELATION OF FOETAL BRAIN WEIGHT TO FOETAL TOTAL BODY WEIGHT TO ASSESS THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRAIN
Authors: Elena G. Krupa , Radhika M Hema
Published: May 2022

Background: Owing to the present-day usage of advanced development of ultrasonographic technique
with high resolution scanning, one is able to identify, analyse and report the congenital abnormalities of
rd developing foetuses in their intrauterine life with great specicity. As the development of neural tube begins very early as 3
week of intrauterine period, a clinician is able to detect neural tube defects at a very early stage. The normal growth of the brain
during the intrauterine period can be estimated by assessing the ratio of foetal brain weight to the total body weight of the
foetus by measuring the various parameters of the foetuses. The weight of the foetal brain varies in various conditions like
congenital heart defects, intrauterine growth retardation, microcephaly, neural tube defects associated with folic acid
deciency and due to various teratogenic factors. So, studying the ratio of foetal brain to total body weight is useful tool to
diagnose various conditions. Methodology: A total of about 100 foetuses of different gestational ages were collected from the
Gynaecology and Obstetrics department in King George Hospital and Victoria General Hospital, Visakhapatnam. It was
ensured that the foetuses are properly embalmed as soon as they are procured and foetal height, weight and other important
parameters required for the study were taken. Results: The ratios were calculated for gestational ages from 13 to 40 weeks. The
ratio for brain declined very slowly throughout the period examined. An observation of practical importance of the brain
weight/bodyweight ratios was virtually constant after 30 weeks of gestation. Conclusion: In this study foetal body weight is
compared with the brain weight to correlate the subsequent brain development according to the weight of the foetus. By this
study we can understand the foetal brain growth and compare results attained with the readings of foetal brain vol / weights got
by non-invasive techniques like ultrasound, MRI scanning and identify the affected brain development in various conditions
like congenital heart defects, intrauterine growth retardation, syndromes with associated microcephaly, zika virus infections
and genetic anomalies etc

Authors: Rathi Kannkshi , Pal Tarun , Singh Chitrakshi , RiHka RiHka , Soni Surbhi , Sharma Anuj , Rathi Balkesh
Published: May 2022

Background: The COVID -19 pandemic has resulted in an increased level of stress among university
students particularly due to online education, lockdown, stay-at-home orders. This exerted an extensive
impact on social, psychological, emotional and mental health among students.
Objective: In this survey, we analysed the social behaviour, psychological reactions, mental and emotional implications on the
students due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: An online survey was conducted among students studying in different universities & diverse elds in India, using a
series of questionnaires to understand the effects of the pandemic on their mental health and well-being. The data were
analysed through quantitative and qualitative methods.
Results: During our online survey, we analyzed 800 participants (400 males and 400 females) who completed the
questionnaire. While analysing for perceived social stress, we observed females to be more affected than males whereas, for
psychological and mental stress, the majority of the participants were affected to some extent. The mean global stress score
was 14.96±5.09 for females and 11.16±4.60 for males which showed a signicant difference between the two groups (p
value=0.009). 72.9% of the total participants felt that their mental well being has deteriorated by the imposition of lockdown
and being in quarantine has made 36.7% people burdened with stress to a whole lot of extent. 31.4% of the total responders
experienced agitation, anger and irritability being at home during quarantine and only 10.6% were unaffected by it. Majority of
the participants suffered from symptoms of anxiety or depression in this 2 year period.
Conclusion: The survey concludes with its observation of mental and psychosocial implications in form of anxiety, disturbed
sleep pattern, economic burden and future academic plan etc on university students in the span of the COVID -19 pandemic.
Institutions must address these effects and consider implementing some student wellness programme which is supported by
mental health experts in order to mitigate related consequences.
Music and speech content of the Radio magazine (1935)
Authors: Doiar Larуsa
Published: May 2022

The presented article continues a series of author's investigations devoted to the annual analysis of book prints and periodicals, which were published in Ukraine at different times. The problem of development of music radio broadcasting in the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR) is raised in the work. Based on the annual notebook of the all-Ukrainian scientific and technical magazine "Radio" for 1935, the author examines its music and speech content and concludes that despite the curtailment of the Ukrainization campaign, the magazine remained a platform for discussing the problems of national and cultural construction in Ukraine. At that time, the magazine's reporters raised questions about music and speech quotas on the radio network, demanded an increase in the percentage of Ukrainian folk songs, Ukrainian classical music heritage, and works by Ukrainian Soviet composers. It is clear that this process was controlled and managed by the ruling Bolshevik Party and state authorities. At the same time, the articulation of these issues made it possible to preserve the positions of the political course on indigenization (Ukrainization) declared in 1923. The obvious dominance of folk traditions in the musical creativity of the composers of the USSR, in particular, the symphonies and operas of Levko Revutsky and Borys Lyatoshynsky, prompted the Stalinist authorities to organize a field trip of specialists in recording on gramophone records in Ukraine. The latter carried out unprecedented work at that time, ensuring the preservation of more than 100 works of Ukrainian musical art, namely, folk songs, dances, symphonies, opera arias and more. During the competitive selection, not only the best performing styles were revealed, but also previously unknown bands from the most remote corners of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Radio Committee was actively involved in the popularization of Ukrainian musical content, under the auspices of which a large symphony orchestra, an orchestra of folk instruments, an ensemble of bandura players, numerous musical radio theaters, etc. worked.

Authors: Senchenko Mykola
Published: May 2022

The article considers aspects of formation and characteristics of publishing and book trade bibliography in foreign countries. Its historical experience is diverse and specific due to national conditions, but even in this diversity, the general patterns and features inherent in the publishing and book trade bibliography of many countries are clear. On the example of the history of origin, development and modern practice of publishing and book bibliography of Great Britain, the USA, Germany and France we trace both national features and regularities of the historical way and modern structure of this kind of activity.

It is emphasized that bibliographic information about publishing products is the only possible form of presenting information about the product in the book trade. Management decisions, success of commercial enterprises, profit-making, etc. depend on the rules and principles on the basis of which bibliographic information is created and disseminated. The importance of modern bibliography enhances the widespread introduction of Internet technologies, their use in the sale of books and other publishing products, the organization of virtual bookstores and more.

Published: May 2022

The proposed research is substantively and conceptually related to research on the history of domestic library science and is directly devoted to the methodological and educational activities of the famous Ukrainian librarian L. Khavkinа in Odessa 1925 year. The article uses authentic materials stored in the funds of the Odessa Regional State Archive and in the funds of the Book Museum of the Odessa State Scientific Library. Among them are such unique documents as the minutes of the meetings of the presidium of the Library Association of Odessa in 1925 year, the report of the Bibinspektura on conducting a seminar with the participation of L. Khavkinа and, finally, own financial receipts made by L. Khavkinа. These documents state that the information provided during the methodological meetings by L. Khavkinа made an unforgettable impression on the Odessa library community and encouraged it to further the fruitful development of the Odessa library business and prompted the centralization of Soviet libraries in the Odessa region and further centralized exchange of methodological, scientific and educational, library and bibliographic literature and information. However, unfortunately, L. Khavkinа's stay in Odessa and holding a library seminar was accidental and took place on the recommendation of Agitprom Gubkom and the Odessa library community did not make a special professional impression on L. Khavkinа, so in the field of professional research interests of the famous librarian further was not included.

The system of bibliographic information of the Book Chamber of Ukraine, based on the receipt of mandatory copies of printed materials, comprehensively covers various types of domestic printed materials and serves as an exhaustive basis for the creation and publication of state bibliographic indexes. The most important component of the current state bibliography is the "Book Chronicle", which contains comprehensive bibliographic information about books and brochures published in Ukraine from all fields of knowledge: scientific, popular science, educational, reference, religious, official, socio-political, production and practical, literary, artistic and popular publications for children and youth, etc.

Current trends in the development of the publishing industry, science and culture necessitate bibliometric analysis of the database of the state bibliography of book editions "Book Chronicle". The proposed analytical review covers the thematic distribution of publications in the database for 2019, which contains 17 634 bibliographic records, according to UDC classes.

A comparative analysis of the number of publications by sections of the UDC in order to determine the thematic focus of book publishing in Ukraine in 2019 in accordance with the branches of science. The analysis revealed that most of the records belong to classes 0, 3, 6 and 8 — 13 942 titles, or 79% of the total number of publications in 2019 — works of art and literature and books on education, law, economics, medicine, science; the remaining sections together account for less than half of all database records — 21%, or 3692 records.
CREATIVE MINDSETS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE BOTH FIXED AND GROWTH MINDSETS?
Authors: Karakelle Sema , Saraç Seda
Published: May 2022

"A creative mindset reflects people's views on whether creativity is a malleable (i.e., growth mindset) or an innate, unmalleable (i.e., fixed mindset). Recently, there have been discussions about the nature of these two creative mindset structures. While some researchers argue that the two mindsets are different and alternative to each other, some researchers argue that the two creative mindsets are independent of each other but not opposite each other. This research aims to contribute to this discussion with two studies from Turkey. We adapted the Creative Mindsets Scale (Karwowski, 2014) to Turkish and explored its psychometric properties in the Turkish context. A total of 741 (n=198 for Study 1; n=543 for Study 2) adults (Mage= 25,889; SD= 5,992) participated in the study. Among all participants, 529 were female (71.39%). The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis from both studies verified the two-factor structure (Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset) of the Creative Mindsets construct. In both studies, the correlation between Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset Scales was negative and moderate. These results indicated that fixed and growth creative mindsets were related but independent constructs. These results showed that Growth and Fixed mindsets are not two ends of the same continuum and it’s possible that individuals can endorse both fixed and growth creative mindsets at the same time, as well as have neither mindset nor a combination of fixed and growth. The Creative Mindset Scale has been adapted to a wide variety of languages. Studies conducted in different cultures have revealed similar factor structures and item properties as in our study. The findings will be discussed comparatively with studies conducted in different cultures."
EDUCATIONAL ADVANCES ACROSS ALL LANGUAGE DOMAINS: RESULTS AND EXTENSIONS FROM THE DYNAMIC TRICKY MIX MODEL
Authors: Nelson Keith E.
Published: May 2022

"This paper demonstrates how Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) can generate powerful educational interventions. Our multiple well-controlled studies include typically-developing children between 2 and 8 years of age as well as children with variations of language disorders and with ages between 4 and 12 years. Despite the wide variation in participant characteristics, we argue that our results demonstrate again and again a core conclusion: Rapid progress in language, literacy, and narrative skills only occurs when there is a favorable dynamic convergence of cognitive readiness, scaffolding partner strategies, positive emotional engagement by child and by partner, high attention, and freedom from distraction or anxiety. We term such favorable dynamic convergences Dynamic Tricky Mixes. Under such Dynamic Tricky Mix conditions children displayed significant advances in literacy, oral language, narrative, and sign language. Other labs have shown similar advances for second language learning. Moreover, and quite surprising, under rigorous equation of Learning Condition Mixes during intervention, children with prior histories of very poor learning learned at rates matching that of children with no prior learning disabilities. This result held for deaf, autistic, dyslexic, and language-delayed children. These excellent learning rates by the children with severe learning disabilities will aid in planning more ambitious reforms in the language-and literacy-facilitating procedures of educators, special educators, and speech language pathologists. In addition, across all educational domains Dynamic Tricky Mix strategies are powerful catalysts for moving any child from a ""stuck"" position toward truly rapid learning. We draw further implications from our rapid vocabulary acquisition intervention work with ordinary 4-year-olds. In this case we demonstrated that with twice-weekly sessions vocabulary growth across 5 months leaped forward compared with matched control children. Many children learned at the astonishing rate of 20 new lexical items per hour. By the use of pretest/posttest comparison data on cognitive processes we further demonstrate that the experimentally-caused leap in vocabulary had cascading effects on improved memory and related cognitive skills. Thus, rapid gains by the intervention children dynamically fed into their becoming better prepared for further rapid gains in language acquisition. In turn, this set of findings enriches accounts at the theoretical level of how so much language learning usually can be achieved in the preschool years. Likewise, in evolutionary terms these kinds of mutual enhancements between language progress and cognitive processing power may help elucidate periods when there are explosive rates of changes in Hominin cultures and in brain size and capacity."
DOES PHYSICAL IMMERSION HELP ADULT VISITORS PROCESSING WORKS OF ART EXHIBITED IN A MUSEUM?

"Given the popularity of spectacular events that produce physical immersion, museums are tempted to exhibit their collections in rooms where visitors are plunged in such immersion. A comparison of three rooms displaying works of art in the traditional manner, but one of which having an installation that induces physical immersion, showed that such immersion does not lead to an increase in the rate of treatment of the works, nor does it increase the fascination for them, i.e. psychological immersion."
THE EU PROJECT CONNECT!: FROM THE REPORTS TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION COURSE

Published: May 2022

"Megatrends as globalization, digitization, demographic change, skills shortage, and the pandemic challenge the working lives of millions of people across the world. Organizations experience increasing pressure to become more and more sustainable and to remain competitive taking care of their employees at all levels of skills. At the same time, employees get mobile, search for attractive, stable, and future-oriented job opportunities, and need support to access labor offers all around Europe. The European Erasmus+ project CONNECT! (connect-erasmus.eu) aims to connect career guidance and counselling (CGC) with human resources (HR) in enterprises, for developing and advancing higher education and training in practice. To develop the higher education course two main phases were followed. In the first phase, the involved partners (Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Austria, and Serbia) conducted an analysis of the national situation. In the second phase, 79 HR and 77 CGC counselors were involved to answer a qualitative survey about the perceptions and best career and life designing practices. The comparative analysis of the national results allowed to identify similarities and differences and identify the main issue to be targeted. The training consists of 5 units that last 4.5 hours each and cover the following topics: The changing world of work, Innovative concepts, and development for company-based career work/HRM, Current theoretical and methodological approaches for counsellors and coaches in the company context, Connecting Guidance, Counselling and coaching for employees and the context of company-based career work, Changing in practice the organizations. After the evaluation of 10 experts from diverse countries, it has been piloted with higher education students. This presentation will focus on the Italian adaptation and the results of the piloting that initially involved 38 university master students in psychology. Two ad-hoc questionnaires about expectations and self-efficacy beliefs and one questionnaire about learning were used to verify its efficacy. Strengths and weaknesses will be discussed."

"Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a chronic non-communicable illness that causes more than half of all deaths across Europe. 80% of premature heart disease and stroke is preventable by effective measures availability for people at high risk. However, many such interventions are not being implemented and managed by patients. Managing such illness requires mastering self-care. Objective. Aim of our study was to identify predictive factors of illness management by evaluating emotional characteristics, emotion regulation, and self-care process in young CVD outpatients. Methods. An observational study was conducted. 61 patients, age 18–75 years (M 56.4 ± sd 12.0), diagnosed with CVD participated in the study. The psychological battery was administered during clinical follow-up: Self Care of Chronic Illness Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, World Health Organization Quality of Life – Bref, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Results. The sample showed mild Anxiety and Stress degree, low Self-care, Social relationship, and emotional Clarity. First, participants were distributed into two groups by median age: Young (Y) and Old (O). Statistical analysis showed significant lower Psychological health (p = 0.03) and higher Non acceptance of emotional responses (p = 0.02) in O group. Then, participants were distributed in two groups by timing from CVD diagnosis: Early Disease (ED) and Long Disease (LD). One Way ANOVA showed lower emotional Awareness (p=0.03) in LD group. Controlling for diagnosis timing, negative Pearson’s correlations emerged between difficulties in emotion regulation domains and self-care monitoring, self-efficacy and QoL. Conclusions. Poor adherence to CVD pharmacological therapy could be addressed by identifying the emotional characteristics, subjective emotion ability, and self-care process of patients who are or may be at risk of non-persistence. The psychological screening and tailored psychological support on these predictive factors may result in clinical benefits."
