Purpose: Define physiological gestation length of hybrid sows large white x landrace PIC Russia’s genetic and find optimal model for farrowing synchronization.Materials and methods. Studying was carrying out at platfrom of MPC "Romcor" Ltd. located at v. Nizhnyaya Sanarka, Troitskiy rayon, Chelyabinskaya oblast'. There are drugs for farrowing induction didn’t used at formed control group of 780 sows, thus farrowing was natural. Experiment on farrowing synchronization by cloprostenol – synthetic analog of prostaglandin F2α administered at dosage 175 mcg per sow was designed at thee phases. At first phase (506 sows) cloprostenol was administered for primigravida sows at 117 day of gestation, since second reproductive cycle at 116 day. At second phase (857 sows) for primigravida at 117 day, for second at 114 day of gestation and over third cycle at 113 day. At third phase (803 sows) primigravida sows at 117 day, for second cycle at 116 day and for over third at 115 day of gestation. Piglets’ mortality was calculated at each group.Results. At control group gestation length was more than 115,7 days and piglets’ mortality was 18,9 %, there were oblique signs of overdue pregnancy at this group. At first phase of experiment gestation was 115,4 days and piglets’ mortality was 16,8 %. At second phase of experiment gestation was 114,8 days and piglets’ mortality was 20,5 %. At third phase of experiment gestation was 115,4 days and piglets’ mortality was 17,6 %. There are piglets’ mortality is depending from amount of born alive and also from gestation length uring the experiment have been confirmed. Usage of cloprostenol for farrowing synchronization is safe since 115 day of gestation.

Background: This research examines the changing focus in academic studies on governance, leadership, and participatory approaches. There is a growing emphasis on sustainability and climate change. The goal is to track the evolution of these themes and understand their current relevance and interconnections.
Objective: The study aims to analyse trends in governance, leadership, and participatory approaches. It identifies central and declining themes and their roles in addressing contemporary challenges.
Methods: To map research trends, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using co-citation, co-occurrence, and strategic diagrams. Tools like R (biblioshiny) and VosViewer were used over time to visualise connections between key themes. Articles from Scopus spanning from 2003 to 2024 were analysed to determine the prominence and development of these themes.
Results: Leadership has emerged as a dominant theme, especially in governance and health-related research. Governance and participatory approaches, once central, are now receiving less attention. However, sustainability and climate change have become key areas, with governance frameworks addressing global environmental concerns.
Conclusions: The study concludes that leadership is a driving force in current research. Governance and participatory approaches still hold value, particularly when combined with sustainability frameworks. Future research should focus on how these frameworks can evolve to meet modern global challenges.

Published: February 2025

Removable partial dentures (RPD) are effective prostheses for restoring both function and aesthetics following tooth loss. Patient satisfaction with RPD functional and aesthetic outcomes is critical in determining the success of RPD therapy. This study aimed to evaluate and compare patient satisfaction with the function and aesthetics of acrylic and cobalt chrome (Co-Cr) RPD and identify factors affecting patients' satisfaction with RPD. Ninety-one patients who received RPD from undergraduate dental students from Kulliyyah of Dentistry (KOD), IIUM, participated in this study. The number of RPD issued for these patients was 150 units, with 121 (80.7%) acrylic and 29 (19.3%) Co-Cr RPD. Patients completed validated questionnaires consisting of four sections: demographics information, patient satisfaction towards the function of RPD, patient satisfaction towards aesthetics of RPD and patient perception towards retention and stability of RPD. Data analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel 2016 and SPSS version 25. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyse and compare patient satisfaction levels of RPD. A chi-square test was used to examine patients’ perceptions of retention and stability of their RPD. Analysis was set as p<0.05 with a 95% confidence interval as statistically significant. The majority of patients reported greater functional and aesthetic satisfaction with acrylic removable partial dentures (RPDs) compared to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) RPDs. There was no significant relationship between patient satisfaction with retention and stability of RPD. In conclusion, acrylic RPDs were perceived to be superior to Co-Cr RPDs, and patient satisfaction was not influenced by the retention or stability of the RPDs.

Published: February 2025

Spiritual education is a crucial aspect of Islam for shaping noble character through the cultivation of emotions and feelings. This article aims to examine the concept of spiritual education in Islam based on Tarbawi hadiths and to elaborate on its implementation for learners. This study employs a descriptive analysis method of relevant hadiths, such as those addressing anger management, guarding the heart from envy (hasad), and dealing with sadness and disappointment. The analysis results indicate that spiritual education supports self-control, the development of noble character, and the cultivation of positive attitudes in facing life’s challenges. The implementation of spiritual education for learners involves the habituation of worship, emotional regulation, and the formation of balanced character in their relationship with Allah (hablum minallah) and with fellow humans (hablum minannas). This study underscores the importance of spiritual education in creating individuals who are resilient spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
Project Management, Neoliberalism, and Academic Libraries
Authors: Steinberg Reece

<p> This is the 8th chapter in <em>Critical Management Studies and Librarianship Critical Perspectives on Library Management Education and Practice </em>published by Litwin Books.</p>
<p>Neoliberal policies imposed by governments on universities have contributed to instability in libraries, along with other factors such as immense changes in the role of libraries and librarians over the past few decades. Project Management practices in libraries introduce processes and tools that reinforce a neoliberal framework and agenda. This contributes to a cycle of instability, precarious employment, and insecure funding in libraries: the self-reinforcing project-funding cycle. While the discipline of Project Management purports to offer some holistic tools for flexible and democratic decision-making, its hierarchical, Taylorist roots are embedded in its ideologies, and contemporary theories are often not put into practice. </p>

The work solves the problem of obtaining adsorbents from cheap and available feedstock able for the removal of low-molecular-weight toxic organic substances from aqueous solutions. It is proposed to obtain an adsorbent from the wastes of such biodegradable poly­mer as polylactic acid (PLA), for example, from used packaging. The polymer was heated up to the melting point, cooled and ground. The thermally treated PLA sample contained end carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, which were identified with Fourier-IR spectroscopy, and the ion-exchange activity of the polymer was found. These groups provide a surface charge density of 0.02−0.12 C m-2 in the pH range of 4−10, ξ-potential reaches 30 mV in an alkaline media. Adsorption of such cationic dye as methylene blue (MB) was studied under static and dynamic conditions. The Temkin and Freundlich models were applied to the adsorption isotherms, an increase in the adsorption capacity of the polymer was found with an increase in pH from 4 to 10, while the surface became more energetically heterogeneous. The capacity of PLA is 16−30 mg g-1 in the absence of a supporting electrolyte, and 10−28 mg g-1, when adsorption occurs from a two-component solution containing also NaCl. According to the results of the study of MB adsorption, and the data of electronic spectroscopy for suspension of the polymer, it was established that the dye removal from the solution occurs mainly due to electrostatic attraction to the negatively charged PLA surface. The adsorbent was proposed to be employed for the remo­val of the residual colour of wastewater after its treatment, for example, with reverse osmosis or nanofiltration.
Endothelial cell-modified BMSC-GT/PCL nanofiber membrane sheet constructs promote bone tissue regeneration

IntroductionBone defect repair remains a major challenge in modern medicine. Although bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) possess multilineage differentiation potential, traditional BMSC constructs are often limited in clinical applications due to insufficient osteogenic differentiation efficiency and inadequate vascularization.MethodsThis study developed an innovative bone tissue engineering strategy by combining BMSCs with gelatin/polycaprolactone (GT/PCL) nanofiber membranes to form cell sheets, which were then modified with endothelial cells (ECs) on the surface. The sheets were subsequently rolled into three-dimensional scaffolds to systematically evaluate their osteogenic potential and underlying mechanisms.ResuiltsResults showed that electrospun GT/PCL nanofiber membranes exhibited uniform fiber structure (diameter 200–500 nm), successfully mimicking the microstructure of natural extracellular matrix. In vitro experiments demonstrated that after 14 days of culture, EC modification significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs compared to unmodified controls, with approximately 3-fold increase in ALP expression (p &lt; 0.05) and 2.5-fold increase in angiogenic factor VEGF expression (p &lt; 0.01). Subcutaneous implantation in nude mice revealed superior bone formation capability of EC-modified constructs at both 4 and 8 weeks: micro-CT analysis showed bone density reaching 350 mg/cm3, bone surface area approaching 400 mm2, and bone volume fraction of approximately 20%, significantly higher than control groups (p &lt; 0.0001). Immunohistochemical evaluation further confirmed more mature trabecular bone structure and richer vascular networks in EC-modified groups.DiscussionMechanistic studies revealed that EC modification promoted bone regeneration through three key pathways: optimization of local vascular microenvironment for improved nutrient supply, activation of intercellular synergistic signaling pathways, and reconstruction of physiological bone tissue microenvironment. This study not only validates the application value of this composite strategy in bone tissue engineering but also provides important theoretical basis for developing novel bone regeneration solutions.

BackgroundTo investigate the epidemiology and related factors of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in Hainan Province, to know the iodine nutrition status and thyroid disease status of residents, and to explore whether salt iodization should be adopted to prevent and control IDD in island areas. To provide a basis for the effective implementation of scientific iodine supplement prevention and control strategy.MethodsAll 21 cities, counties (districts) in the province were investigated. Superficial soil, residential drinking water, common food, urine samples of children, adults and pregnant women, household salt samples, thyroid B-ultrasound of adults and pregnant women, adult blood samples were collected. Soil iodine, water iodine, food iodine, urine iodine, daily salt intake, salt iodine, thyroid volume, nodules and thyroid function were measured.ResultsThe median iodine content in soil was 4.37mg/kg, the median iodine content in drinking water was 6.0μg/L, the iodized salt coverage rate was 98.6%, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 97.9%. The median urinary iodine concentration (MUIC) in children and adults was 180.3μg/L and 151.6μg/L, respectively, which was the adequate level of iodine. The median urinary iodine in pregnant women was 144.6μg/L, which was slightly lower than the adequate level. The main source of iodine intake was salt iodine, which contributed 59.8% to total dietary iodine. Kelp, milk and seaweed, whose contribution rates were 8.2%, 7.3% and 6.6%, respectively. The total iodine contribution rate of other foods was 18.1%, among which the contribution rate of fish, shrimp and crabs was only 2.4%. The overall prevalence of thyroid diseases was 27.01%. The detection rates of subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hyperthyroidism in males were significantly higher than those in females, and the detection rates of thyroid nodules and goiter were significantly lower than those in females. The detection rates of thyroid nodules in central mountainous areas were significantly higher than those in eastern and western coastal areas.ConclusionsAt present, the iodine nutrition level in Hainan Province is generally in a suitable state, and the iodine intake of residents mainly comes from iodized salt. The strategy of salt iodization prevention and control of IDD should be adhered to in island area.
