MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION IN LIFE SCIENCES: TEACHERS' AND LEARNERS' BELIEFS ABOUT CODE-SWITCHING
Authors: Vilakazi Zanele , Mavuru Lydia , Ramaila Sam
Published: December 2024

In South Africa, where multilingualism is prevalent, code-switching—a practice of alternating between languages—plays a significant role in shaping classroom dynamics and learning outcomes. This study explores the beliefs of both teachers and learners regarding code-switching in Life Sciences classrooms. Utilizing quantitative methods, the research is grounded in the Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) framework which emphasizes the pivotal role of language in the learning process. Data were collected from 100 learners and 44 secondary school teachers across multilingual areas in Sedibeng West, Gauteng Province in South Africa, using questionnaires. The findings reveal that teachers view code-switching as an effective strategy for clarifying complex scientific concepts and addressing language barriers, despite concerns about its potential impact on language proficiency and dependency. Learners, on the other hand, value code-switching for its role in making learning material more accessible and understandable. This study highlights the nuanced role of code-switching in enhancing educational outcomes in multilingual settings and suggests its potential benefits and challenges in the context of Life Sciences education.

Indonesian midwives’ experiences in delivering childbirth services: A qualitative study
Authors: Ningrum Mudy , Soraya Desi
Published: December 2024

Background: Quality healthcare services during childbirth are essential for the safety of mothers and newborns. Despite global efforts to improve maternal and neonatal health, many challenges remain, particularly in low-resource settings. Midwives play a vital role in ensuring safe childbirth and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Objective: This study aimed to explore midwives’ experiences in delivering childbirth services in Ungaran City, Central Java Province, Indonesia.
Methods: A descriptive phenomenological was employed. Data were collected in June 2021 through semi-structured interviews with six midwives. Colaizzi’s methods were used to analyze the data.
Results: The findings revealed two main themes: 1) Challenges commonly faced in childbirth services, which include subthemes of economic and pragmatic concerns, socio-cultural beliefs and traditions, perceived necessity of midwifery services, access to services, and public perception of the knowledge and skills of childbirth providers; and 2) Reasons for choosing home childbirth, with subthemes of economic factors, cultural and ritualistic perceptions, access to health facilities, and comfort.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of addressing economic and socio-cultural factors to improve maternal healthcare in rural areas. Collaboration between midwives and traditional birth attendants can enhance trust and ensure safer outcomes. Future studies are needed to explore how to integrate these practices for improved healthcare delivery.

Authors: Vongula Frildah Aifondoka , Pacial Rachelle Gay Rosario
Published: December 2024

Background: Maternal knowledge and practices on newborn care are crucial in ensuring the well-being of infants, particularly in areas such as cord care, pain and fever management, and stimulation of senses. The Department of Health (DOH) and other health programs aim to promote better newborn care practices, but maternal knowledge gaps may persist.
Objective: The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and practice of mothers regarding newborn care, specifically focusing on cord care, pain and fever management, and stimulation of senses.
Methods: A quantitative descriptive correlational design was used. The study involved 308 mothers from three barangays in Baguio City, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected from 6 February 2023 to 20 March 2023 through a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: Mothers had high knowledge of cord care and stimulation of senses, and average knowledge of pain and fever management. For practice, mothers scored highly in cord care, pain and fever management, and stimulation of senses. Significant differences were found in knowledge of pain and fever management by age (p = 0.044) and civil status (p = 0.015). A weak, significant positive correlation (r = 0.229, p <0.001) was observed between knowledge and practice.
Conclusion: The study found a positive relationship between knowledge and practice, indicating that informed mothers are more likely to implement appropriate newborn care practices. There is a need to enhance maternal education, especially on pain and fever management, to promote better neonatal outcomes. Health programs should continue to focus on improving maternal knowledge through accessible information and support.
The extent of sexual and reproductive health services utilization among adolescents in Abuja, Nigeria: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Onuh Josephine Akor , Pacial Rachelle Gay Rosario
Published: December 2024

Background: Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (SRHS) is crucial for adolescent health, yet their utilization remains low in many regions. In Abuja Municipal Area, the extent of SRHS use among female adolescents is unclear, prompting this study to assess the utilization level.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the extent of SRHS utilization among female adolescents in Abuja Municipal Area, Nigeria.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted involving 214 female adolescents. Data were collected from February to July 2023 using a structured questionnaire, with responses analyzed to determine the extent of SRHS utilization. Statistical analysis was done using means, t-tests, and ANOVA to assess the impact of marital status, educational level, and other factors.
Results: The overall SRHS utilization among adolescents was low, with an average weighted mean of 1.50, categorized as "Not Extensive." Married adolescents used more SRHS than single adolescents, with a significant difference (t = -7.07, p <0.001) in services such as antenatal care (mean = 2.22 for married vs. 1.37 for single, p <0.001), contraceptive counseling (mean = 1.92 for married vs. 1.33 for single, p <0.001), and postnatal care (mean = 2.10 for married vs. 1.35 for single, p <0.001). Educational level did not significantly influence SRHS utilization, with p-values for contraceptive counseling (p = 0.287) and STI counseling (p = 0.155) showing no significant differences across primary, secondary, and tertiary education groups. Psychological, socio-cultural, and economic factors were major barriers to accessing SRHS.
Conclusion: The  SRHS utilization among female adolescents in Abuja is insufficient, with marital status being a significant factor in service usage. To improve access, there is a need for targeted interventions, including education on SRHS and the development of informational materials, such as brochures, to enhance awareness and reduce barriers to access.
Defining “belonging” in a pediatric health system
Authors: Beardsley Elaine , Yudkin Joshua S.
Published: December 2024

The development of the concept of “belonging” in the workplace is still in its early stages and requires to be clearly defined and operationalized. Different authors have interpreted the term “belonging” differently, and without a clear and standardized definition, research measuring the impact of belonging as a concept has seen limited success. However, belonging is increasingly recognized as essential to organizational culture to promote effective communication, safety, team member well-being, and engagement. Pediatric healthcare organizations are unique work environments that may necessitate a tailored definition of belonging. Within a Conservation of Resources Theory framework, this manuscript explores the evolution of belonging. It proposes an integrated definition tailored for pediatric healthcare settings with recommendations for practice and future research. The proposed definition of belonging for pediatric healthcare settings is where individuals within the team have a collective mindset and behaviors to help each other feel supported, valued, safe, supported, and accepted.

The scientific sphere of Ukraine: current state, tasks and prospects for reform
Authors: Skrypniuk O.V.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of reforming science, in particular academic science, from the proclamation of Ukraine’s independence to the present day. The author emphasizes that the country has long lacked a clear and well-founded strategy for the development of science and innovation. The lack of systematic work on reforming the scientific sector and the ineffectiveness and inconsistency of the policies and actions of public authorities have led to a deep crisis in the scientific sphere. The exhausting war has exacerbated the negative trends and state of science in recent years.

The continued total underfunding of scientific and technical work, the existence of an outdated and contradictory base in the field of science have caused an outflow of young scientific personnel abroad, a sevenfold decrease in the number of scientists, a threat to the existence of scientific schools, a loss of prestige of scientists in the state, a decrease in the influence of science on the formation of modern policy of development of the state and society, and our country’s lagging behind in innovative development. The article analyzes legislative innovations and proposals for reforming the scientific sphere and improving its organization, emphasizing their controversial nature, etc.

The lack of consistency in updating the legislation on scientific and research and innovation activities is inconsistent, although the legislator has taken certain steps to modernize it. In particular, the priority areas for the development of science and technology and innovation at the national level were updated. The group of directions «Advanced Science» was aimed at the development of world-class basic scientific research. Another draft law analyzed in this article, despite declaring high goals regarding the principles of management of scientific institutions, raises frank concerns about the future of the organization of the scientific sphere and the development of science, as it proposes the introduction of a standardized administration of scientific institutions and research activities of scientists. Of particular concern are the plans to reform the National Academy and national sectoral academies.

The article pays considerable attention to the organization of academic legal science, the implementation of reforms at the V. M. Koretsky Institute of State and Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and its research, analytical and expert activities in the context of war. The author emphasizes the role and tasks of science in achieving science over the enemy and the post-war revival of Ukraine.

Key words: science, scientists, innovations, organization of science, reform of the scientific sphere, legislation, academy, scientific schools, development strategy, management systems.

Authors: Романов Григорий Александрович
Published: December 2024

Московский Сретенский монастырь за свою историю имел много известных покровителей и благотворителей, среди которых первейшими были представители царского Дома Романовых. Внимание Романовых к монастырю было разнообразным: от посещения обители ради святынь, молитвы, помощи (царского богомолья) до многочисленных вкладов, покровительства монастырю, его настоятелям. Высокий рейтинг Сретенского монастыря благодаря царскому вниманию позволял привлекать сюда материальные средства в качестве вкладов от лица известных боярских родов; монастырь строился, украшался, имел редкие иконы. Монастырь был включен в число важнейших символических доминант столицы: для крестных ходов в праздничные дни, для устройства родовых боярских погребений на кладбище монастыря. Благодаря царскому покровительству Сретенский монастырь получил значение важного церковного – духовного и культурного центра столицы и всей России.

Authors:   Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod”, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, Druzhilovskaya E.S.
Published: December 2024

A significant accounting object for many modern organizations,
both in healthcare and other areas of activity, are property, plant
and equipment. Many accounting standards (Russian, International and
others) provide for the active use of fair value for accounting of these
assets. At the same time, as our research has shown, a number of significant
problems still remain in this area. In this regard, issues related to
determining the fair value of property, plant and equipment are currently
very relevant for both healthcare organizations and other areas of activity
reporting under various accounting standards. These issues are analyzed
in this article. In carrying out the research, such methods as analysis
and synthesis, grouping method, comparison, analogy method, logical
approach, systems approach were used. The results obtained in this work
will be useful to a wide range of readers interested in various problems of
modern Russian and foreign accounting and reporting, including valuation
of property, plant and equipment. The provisions substantiated in
this article can be applied in the educational process of higher educational
institutions, as well as in the practical work of accounting departments of
modern organizations, both in healthcare and other areas of activity.
Legal regulation of accounting for the disposal of fixed assets: problems and solutions
Authors:   Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “Donetsk National University of Economics and Trade named after Mikhail Tugan- Baranovsky”, Donetsk, Russia, Fedorets M.S.
Published: December 2024

The article considers the features of regulatory support for
accounting for transactions on the disposal of fixed assets. The problematic
aspects related to the ongoing changes as a result of the convergence
of national accounting with international practice are highlighted. It has
been revealed that regulatory acts do not fix a specific procedure for determining
the liquidation value of fixed assets. In this regard, a methodology
based on an algorithm of sequential actions is proposed, which is especially
important for evaluating the result of operations of disposal of fixed assets.
These measures can be used in accounting practice by economic entities in
various fields of activity, including private medical organizations.
The role and place of Mongolian — Russian relations in strengthening regional security
Authors:   Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Moscow, Dashnyam A.
Published: December 2024

The current processes taking place in Northeast Asia are characterized by increased threats
to stability and security. This situation dictates the need to build a regional security system. Currently,
Russia and China are playing an active role in building it. As for Mongolia, its participation in the security
architecture being created in the region could be an additional factor in strengthening stability. It
should be borne in mind that the nature of the interstate relations that have developed between Russia
and Mongolia indicate the desire of both countries to expand cooperation in various fi elds. Mongolia
maintains similar friendly relations with China and other countries in the region. At the same time,
the Mongolian side avoids joining interstate associations created under the auspices of Russia. The
article concludes that it is necessary to expand economic cooperation between Russia and Mongolia
by implementing projects, including with the participation of other states in the region (China).
Mongolia's participation in the implementation of joint projects in the fi eld of economics creates
conditions for its involvement in the process of building a regional security system.
Case study: World Health Organization's guidelines for environmental noise revisited
Authors: Gjestland Truls , Brastad Evensen Karen
Published: December 2024

The World Health Organization, WHO, presented new environmental noise guidelines in 2018. These guidelines recommended limit values that were far more stringent than the previous ones. WHO also launched the concept that 10% prevalence of high annoyance was the limit for adverse health
effects. This paper discusses the development of environmental noise guidelines and presents alternative exposure limits found when applying the 10% highly annoyed concept to more recent studies on annoyance from transportation noise sources.
Finite element modeling of acoustic metamaterial based on periodic Helmholtz resonator with a membrane in the cavity
Authors: Laly Zacharie , Mechefske Christopher , Ghinet Sebastian , Kone Charly T.
Published: December 2024

In this paper, a finite element design of acoustic metamaterial consisting of Helmholtz resonators periodically embedded into a porous material is proposed and studied numerically. The Helmholtz resonators contain a membrane in the cavity, and its contribution to the sound transmission
loss (TL) improvement is investigated. The use of a membrane in the resonator cavity induces multiple resonances for the TL while only one resonant TL peak is observed when a conventional resonator is used. The theoretical and numerical results agree well. Finite element simulations are performed
for free and fixed boundary conditions of the membrane inside the resonator cavity. The impacts of the thickness and the material properties of the membrane on the TL and on the eigenfrequencies of the membrane are analyzed. The TL presents multiple resonance peaks where certain resonance
frequencies correspond to the eigenfrequencies of the membrane. The single and double wall configurations are studied numerically and the effects of the different parameters of the resonator and the membrane on the TL are presented. Numerical studies are performed to illustrate the sound attenuation
mechanism and the effects of the airflow resistivity of the porous material as well as those of the incidence angles on the TL. The Helmholtz resonator design with a membrane in the cavity can be used in many engineering applications to attenuate multi-tonal noise at multiple frequencies simultaneously
unlike a conventional resonator.
Active noise cancellation using hybrid CNN-LSTM classification and genetic algorithm-based community detection extraction with LMS noise filtering process
Authors: Daniel V.D.M. Jabez , Mythili C.
Published: December 2024

Unwanted signals in information-bearing signal referred to as noise could degrade the strength of signals in terms of intelligibility and quality. Over the decade, various researchers developed algorithms to enhance speech signal quality and noise reduction. To address the issue, the
study propounded the active noise cancellation method by using a hybridized convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) approach and genetic algorithm (GA)-based community detection feature extraction enhanced with least mean square (LMS) noise filtering process. The
quality filtered signals were extracted with feature correlation data and precise relevant features using genetic algorithm-based community detection. The selective parameters aid the classification performance, facilitated by hyperparameter fine-tuning of GA-based community detection. The
results of incorporating LSTM will eliminate unnecessary memory content by correlating past information outcomes to classify new feature values. In this method, abnormal and normal signals are classified by our LSTM layers output. These classified outcomes aid in the denoise of active voice
signals with a fast convergence rate. The efficiency of the proposed method was assessed in terms of its performance through comparative active noise cancellation (ANC) methods. The higher accuracy rate and low NMSE in the classification of audio signals evidenced the efficacy of the proposed
ANC model.

ПЕПТИДНАЯ РЕГУЛЯЦИЯ КЛЕТОЧНОГО СТАРЕНИЯ
Authors: Ивко О.М.
Published: December 2024

Клеточное старение — неспособность структур к пролиферации (дальнейшему делению) и репарации повреждений при сохранении метаболической активности. Ключевыми хорошо известными факторами клеточного старения являются процессы повреждения ДНК, укорочения теломер, развитие окислительного стресса и эпигенетических изменений. Вышеуказанные факторы провоцируют развитие провоспалительной среды, приводящей к ошибкам экспрессии генов и метаболической дизрегуляции, тем самым влияя на процесс развития возраст-ассоциированных заболеваний, способст вующих патологическим изменениям функций тканей и органов. Современные подходы фармакотерапии, направленной на замедление процессов клеточного старения, в основном сосредоточены на трех ключевых стратегиях: воздействие на сигнальные пути, обусловливающие клеточное старение, а также на конкретные факторы клеточного цикла (белковые структуры — рецепторы, белкипереносчики, биорегуляторы и так далее), улучшение элиминации клеточного «мусора» иммунной системой. У лиц пожилого возраста нарушается биорегуляция различных процессов клеточного цикла, а применение полипептидных комплексов способствует поддержанию нормальных функций организма, способствуя стимуляции синтеза белков-маркеров функциональной активности клеток.

Cellular aging is the inability of structures to proliferate (further division) and repair damage while maintaining metabolic activity. The key well-known factors of cellular aging are the processes of DNA damage, telomere shortening, the development of oxidative stress and epigenetic changes. The above factors provoke the development of a pro-inflammatory environment, leading to errors in gene expression and metabolic dysregulation, thereby affecting the development of age-related diseases that contribute to pathological changes in the functions of tissues and organs. Modern pharmacotherapy approaches aimed at slowing down the processes of cellular aging are mainly focused on three key strategies: influencing the signaling pathways that cause cellular aging, as well as specific factors of the cell cycle (protein structures — receptors, carrier proteins, bioregulators, and so on), improving the elimination of cellular debris by the immune systern pharmacotherapy approaches aimed at slowing down the processes of cellular aging are mainly focused on three key strategies: influencing the signaling pathways that cause cellular aging, as well as specific factors of the cell cycle (protein structures — receptors, carrier proteins, bioregulators, and so on), improving the elimination of cellular debris by the immune system. In the elderly, the regulation of various processes of the cell cycle is disrupted, and the use of polypeptide complexes helps to maintain normal body functions by stimulating the synthesis of proteins-markers of cell functional activity.

Изучено влияние эфирных масел (ЭМ) 22 видов и сортов эфиромасличных растений на умственную работоспособность людей пожилого возраста при вдыхании ими воздуха, содержащего ЭМ в газообразном состоянии в концентрации 1 мг/м3 воздуха. Для исследования были использованы тест распознавания слов с пропущенными буквами и корректурная проба. Установлено, что распознание слов с пропущенными буквами стимулируется при небольшой (10–20 мин) длительности воздействия ЭМ, а затем эффект угасает. Напротив, наибольшее увеличение темпа выполнения корректурной пробы приходится на 30-минутный срок воздействия масел. ЭМ розмарина лекарственного, чабера садового, котовника кошачьего, бархатцев мелких, мяты перечной сортов Удайчанка и Украинская, гвоздичного дерева ускоряют как распознание слов с пропущенными буквами (при кратковременном воздействии), так и скорость выполнения теста корректурной пробы (при длительном воздействии).

The effect of essential oils (EOs) of 22 species and varieties of essential oil plants on the mental performance of elderly people when they inhaled air containing EOs in a gaseous state at a concentration of 1 mg/m3 of air was studied. For the study, a word recognition test with missing letters and a proofreading test were used. It has been established that recognition of words with missing letters is stimulated for a short (10–20 min) duration of exposure to EOs, and then the effect fades away. On the contrary, the greatest increase in the pace of performing the correction test occurs during the 30-minute period of exposure to EOs. EOs of rosemary, garden savory, catnip, small marigolds, peppermint varieties Udaychanka and Ukrainian, and cloves accelerate both the recognition of words with missing letters (with shortterm exposure to EO) and the speed of completing the proofreading test (with long-term exposure to EO).

Budidaya udang Vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei) adalah kegiatan budidaya akukultur yang banyak dilakukan di Indonesia. Dalam budidaya udang dikenal dengan teknik sampling yaitu mengambil udang didalam tambak yang kemudian diukur berat dan panjangnya. Teknik sampling dilakukan dengan dua cara, yaitu sampling dengan anco dan sampling jala. Proses sampling dengan anco yang dilakukan cukup lama berdampak pada penurunan kualitas dan kesehatan udang. Disisi lain pengambilan sampel udang menggunakan sistem jala juga memiliki kelemahan lain, yaitu udang bisa terluka karna benturan dengan pematang. Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun sistem pengambilan sampel berat dan panjang udang yang lebih cepat, akurat dan terdokumentasi dengan baik. Sistem yang dikembangkan merupakan perbaikan dari teknik anco dimana sampel udang dilakukan dengan mengambil langsung gambar udang pada anco yang terhubung pada smartphone. Pengukuran sampel udang vaname dilakukan dengan pemroses citra digital dengan basis pixel untuk menghitung berat dan panjang udang. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode chessboard yang memungkinkan dapat mengukur objek citra digital meskipun objek melengkung seperti udang. Proses pengujian Homogenitas dilakukan untuk menguji apakah data hasil pengukuran manual dengan data jumlah pixel berat dan panjang udang memiliki distribusi variasi yang sama (Homogen). Hasil proses uji terhadap data berat udang didapatkan hasil uji dengan nilai F 0.000000028 jauh lebih kecil dari nilai F critical yaitu 0.817796464 dengan nilai alpha 5%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa variasi dua variabel tidak berbeda secara signifikan (Homogen). kemudian hasil proses uji dengan data panjang udang menunjukan bahwa hasil uji F sebesar 0.0001174 jauh lebih kecil dari nilai F critical yaitu 0.8175241dengan nilai alpha 5%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa variasi antara dua variabel tidak berbeda secara signifikan (Homogen). Dari hasil proses uji homogenitas pada variabel berat dan jumlah pixel kemudian variabel panjang dan panjang pixel tidak ada perbedaan signifikan dalam variasi antara variabel. Hasil ini dapat digunakan sebagai dasar untuk melakukan prediksi ukuran udang vaname.

Danau Toba ditetapkan sebagai salah satu Destinasi Pariwisata Super Prioritas (DPSP) di Indonesia. Kaldera Toba Nomadic Escape adalah satu obyek wisata di DPSP Danau Toba yang dikelola oleh Badan Pelaksana Otorita Danau Toba (BPODT). Untuk memasuki kawasan wisata Kaldera Toba pengujung terkadang kesulitan dikarenakan pengunjung yang dari luar daerah tidak dapat memesan tiket secara online, begitu juga terhadap pengolahan data penjualan tiket di Kaldera masih dilakukan secara manual yaitu menggunakan pembukuan sehingga setiap tiket yang terjual tidak dapat langsung direkapitulasi dan hal ini yang membuat pelaporan penjualan tiket tidak sesuai. Pemesanan tiket di Kaldera Toba terdapat dua kategori yaitu pemesanan tiket masuk wisata dan pemesanan tiket event, dimana untuk tiket event akan tersedia ketika diselenggarakan event di Kaldera Toba Nomadic Escape. Dalam upaya memberikan kemudahan dalam mengelola pemesanan tiket di Kaldera Toba Nomadic Escape, dikembangkan sebuah sistem berbasis web yang berfungsi agar setiap pengunjung dapat melakukan pemesanan tiket secara online. Sistem ini menyediakan sebuah dashboard untuk merekapitulasi transaksi secara real-time. Metode pengembangan sistem menggunakan model Waterfall, dengan tahapan dimulai dari Communication, Planning, Modeling, Construction dan Deployment. Pada pengembangan dashboard penjualan tiket juga dilakukan analisis perbandingan beberapa penelitian terdahulu sehingga dapat membantu rincian visual yang dibuatkan pada dashboard penjualan tiket. Pada penelitian ini dihasilkan sistem pemesanan tiket dan dashboard penjualan tiket berbasis web yang digunakan pengunjung dalam melakukan pemesanan tiket dan dashboard yang digunakan oleh pihak Kaldera Toba Nomadic Escape dalam melakukan pemantauan terhadap statistik penting seperti jumlah pengunjung, penjualan tiket, dan stok tiket yang tersedia.
