Authors: Romashko Olha 
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the English teaching process for students of non-linguistic specialities of Ukrainian higher education institutions. Particular attention is drawn to one of the principles of organizing the educational process during a pandemic – the computer-assisted education process and its methodological principles. The article outlines current trends in the computer-assisted English language teaching process, consistent with the capabilities of online platforms and cloud technologies, the implementation of Internet technologies and the various forms of virtual language environment organization.
During the pandemic, the academic community as a whole almost overcame prejudice against the distance learning organization. Many HEIs actively implement and discuss distance learning methods and tools in the educational process, which significantly expands the geography of educational services, creates an opportunity to diversify teaching methods by students using different ways of presenting educational material, as well as promptly update the necessary training courses.
Peculiarities of computerization of teaching English to students of non-language specialities in the Free Economic Zone of Ukraine in a pandemic – increasing students ’motivation to acquire knowledge, skills, mobility and awareness of students with digital technologies, the novelty of methods and tools used.
Based on this, we can identify trends in the computerization of English language teaching – the formation of cyberspace, the widespread use of online platforms and cloud technologies, the implementation of modern Internet technologies and appropriate forms of virtual language environment.
The specifics of teaching students of non-language specialities, in this case, can be focused on creating an effective virtual language environment, which requires the modern teacher knowledge of the technical features of its design and practical implementation of the learning process.
We see the prospects for further research in this area for a comprehensive study of qualitative changes in the methodology of teaching English for students of non-language specialities in higher education institutions of Ukraine in terms of computerization and online learning.

The growth pattern and condition factors of three spots gourami Trichopodus trichopterus (Pallas, 1770) from Lempake Dam, East Kalimantan, are not yet informed. These studies aimed to investigate fishes' length and body weight, sex ratio, length-bodyweight relationships, growth patterns, and condition factors. The collection of fish sampling was carried out monthly from February to May 2020. A total of 912 individual samples of sepat rawa fish were caught by 15 fish traps using a purposive sampling method at three stations. This research showed that the total length of the fishes analyzed ranged from 31.68 to 103.53 mm, while body weight ranged from 1.12 to 7.22 g. The sex ratio in males and females was 1:1.19. The regression model of the length-body weight relationships calculated was W=3x10-5L2.861 for total samples, W=5x10-5L2.710 for males, and W=2x10-5L2.977 for females. The length-body weight was obtained strong relationships in all samples and sexes, with the regression coefficient (r) ranging from 0.965 to 0.977. An isometric growth pattern and the growth coefficient “b”=2.977 was observed in females, while a negative allometric growth pattern in males and both sexes, with the growth coefficient “b”= 2.710 and “b”=2.861. The values of relative condition factor (Kn) observed for females were ranged from 1.472 to 1.555 and for males ranged from 1.024 to 1.082. The growth pattern and relative condition factor of three spot gourami in the Lempake Dam were affected by the number of fishes in gonad mature condition and body shape.

Published: November 2021

Objectives: In this study, we gave information about appropriate working position to the office workers who have low back pain for last 3 months and we aimed to determine the effect of this intervention on frequency and level of low back pain and functionality of the workers.
Materials and Methods: This study was an interventional study. Data were collected in September 2017 and December 2017 using face to face interview method. Information was given by a one-hour conference and distributing 4 informative brochures between October 2017 and November 2017.
Results: 409 persons participated in the study and 141 of them who had low back pain for last 3 months formed the intervention group. 59.7% of the participants noted that they usually perform desk work. Logistic regression analysis showed that low back pain was 3,25 times more frequent among women than men, and 2,41 times more frequent among workers who had non-communicable disease. Among workers who had low back pain and attended the conference and read at least one brochure, mean Visual Analog Scale score was 5,97±1,2 before intervention and 5,03±1,1 after intervention (p<0,001) and mean Roland Morris Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire score were and 9,98±1,7 before intervention, and 8,91±1,3 after intervention, respectively (p<0,001). No difference was determined among workers who didn’t attend any of these two interventions (p>0,05).
Conclusions: Considering the effect of intervention, this result shows that implementation of intervention with health promotion approach at workplace is an appropriate method for reducing severity of low back pain and increasing functionality.

Objective: Analyze the effect of grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens Charpentier) paste addition on the rheological behavior of Mole Poblano (MP) and its relation with the technological properties of the grasshopper paste.
Design/methodology/approach: The addition of grasshopper paste was done at different proportions as follows: T0= 0% of grasshopper paste (GP) and 100% of mole Poblano (MP); T10=10% GP and 90% MP; T15=15% GP and 85% MP, T20=20% GP and 80% MP, T25=25% GP and 75 % MP, T30=30% GP and 70% MP. Water retention and emulsifying capacity of grasshopper paste were evaluated. Density, kinematic and apparent viscosity, and rheological behavior were analyzed at 25ºC; rheological parameters (consistency index (k) and flow behavior index (n)) were calculated by performing a regression analysis to adjust the graphs to a power-law model.
Findings/conclusion: Grasshopper paste had higher emulsifying capability than water retention capability. Apparent viscosity of all formulations decreased as shear rate increased, so all mixtures of GP and MP demonstrated No-Newtonian behavior and pseudoplastic performance. Index consistency increased as GP content increased, these results are related with protein content because GP had a good emulsifying capability.
Limitations on study/implications: More studies about the characterization of the proteins of GP and their interaction with other components are required.

Published: November 2021

Objective: Describe the reproductive characteristics of the female jaguar as well as assisted reproduction techniques.
Design/methodology/approach: A literature review about reproductive characteristics and assisted reproduction techniques was done to documented information about it. Results: The Jaguar is considered the largest feline in America, females are 1.57 to 2.19 m of length and weigh 45 to 82 kg. The jaguar female is ready for mating when it is about 2 years old. Regarding the estrous cycle, it is divided into: proestrus, estrus, diestrous, interestrous and anestrus. Environment influence on the reproductive behavior of the jaguar, being the steroids those that stimulate the production of pheromones to attract the male; in the female the secretion is cyclical. The gestation lasts approximately between 90 and 110 days and they usually give birth to 1 or up to 4 young. In the case of assisted reproduction, artificial insemination could be useful to preserve genetic material from animals with outstanding characteristics.
Limitations on study/implications: The destruction of forests and jungles, the fragmentation of habitat, indiscriminate hunting, the lack of prey as a food source and the conflict with ranchers has put the Jaguar on the brink of extinction, in addition there is little information about its reproductive characteristics, which is why in Mexico, it is imperative to generate this information, mainly in free-living jaguar.
Findings/conclusions: Reproductive characteristics of jaguar female were documented from a literature review as well as assisted reproduction techniques. Knowledge of these will allow developed reproductive strategies to work on a national conservation and reproduction strategy to preserve the species.

Abstract. The Surabaya Waste Bank (BSIS) is a central waste bank in the city of Surabaya that accepts and deposits various types of inorganic waste that has been separated from the environment then distributed to the industry to be recycled into new products. The main source of income for The Surabaya Waste Bank (BSIS) is the sale of separated waste. However, at this time the source of income is not optimal in supporting operations, due to sales that occur not entirely in cash, some of which are in the form of credit. The significant amount of receivables certainly has a big impact on BSIS's financial liquidity, especially during the pandemic, so that receivables management is very necessary to regulate financial liquidity and prevent bankruptcy.

Intranasal Administration as a Route to Deliver Drugs to the Brain (Review)
Authors: Porfiryeva N. N. , Semina I. I. , Moustafine R. I. , Khutoryanskiy V. V. 
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Intranasal drug delivery from nose-to-brain is one of the promising approaches for the treatment of brain diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, brain tumors, etc.Text. Delivery of drugs through the nose has a number of advantages, including the rapid onset of a pharmacological effect, the ability to bypass the blood-brain barrier, avoidance of some side effects and fast and non-invasive route of administration. However, the significant disadvantages of this route are rapid elimination of the drug from the surface of the mucosal membrane, poor penetration of the drug through the nasal mucosa, mucociliary clearance and effects of proteolytic enzymes. Currently, to overcome the above limitations, various approaches are used, including the development of delivery systems from nose-to-brain, which are mucoadhesive, mucus-penetrating and gel-forming systems that facilitate the retention or penetration of drugs through the mucosal membranes. At the same time, high-molecular weight compounds play a significant role in the design of these systems. In particular, mucoadhesive systems can be prepared from cationic and anionic polymers. Recent studies have also shown that interpolyelectrolyte complexes also exhibit mucoadhesive properties. An improvement in mucoadhesive properties of polymers can also be achieved by conjugating various functional groups such as thiols, maleimides, acrylates, methacrylates, catechols, etc. Mucus-penetrating systems can be prepared by PEGylation of nanoparticles, as well as functionalization with some poly(2-oxazolines), polyvinyl alcohol, etc. The mucus-penetrating ability of these polymers has been shown in other mucosal membranes in the body. Finally, increased penetration can be achieved by using mucolytic agents in combination with non-ionic surfactants. Another approach to increase the efficiency of drug delivery from nose-to-brain is the use of in situ gelling systems. Initially, this type of formulation exists as a solution; then a phase transition to gel is observed in response to chemical and physical effects. Depending on the external stimulation of the phase transition, thermo-, pH-, ion-reversible and other systems are known. These systems have shown effectiveness for delivery to the brain by intranasal administration.Conclusion. Effective intranasal delivery of drugs and therapeutic agents to the brain can be achieved by using mucoadhesive, mucus-penetrating, gelling systems and/or their combinations.

Introduction. Small-leaved linden flowers are mainly used for aquatic extracts, and their pharmacological benefit is based on water-soluble polysaccharides.Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of accumulating all reducing sugars in small-leaved linden flowers, collected in agro- and urbo-cenoses of the Voronezh region.Materials and methods. 51 sites were selected for collecting flowers from the small-leaved linden, which is a widespread deciduous tree species in Russia. In order to determine the total level of reducing sugars in the samples, we measured glucose levels using the method described in Pharmacopeia article "Linden Flower". Correlation coefficients were analyzed to examine in detail the effect of the major pollutants (heavy metals and arsenic) on the accumulation of reducing sugars in small-leaved linden flowers.Results and discussion. All analyzed samples of medicinal plant raw materials were benign in terms of their reducing sugar levels. Samples collected in control (protected) areas contained reducing sugar levels 13.31 to 16.89 %, which is 6–8 times more than the lower numerical value established by the Pharmacopoeia article. In the agrocenoses of the region, the concentration of reducing sugars varied from 6.12 to 16.68 %, which is 3–8 times more than the value given in the Pharmacopoeia article. In the urbocenoses of the region, a lower level of reducing sugars was found compared to samples from protected areas (2.35–13.49 %). Correlation coefficients showed a noticeable negative impact of cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, zinc, as well as a moderate negative effect of lead and mercury on the accumulation of reducing sugars in the small-leaved linden flowers.Conclusion. The lowest concentrations of reducing sugars were detected in samples harvested along the streets of large cities in the region, and along highways, roads and railways. This suggests that anthropogenic factors might negatively impact the accumulation of reducing sugars in small-leaved linden flowers in these areas. At the same time, it is possible that saccharide complexes might have reacted with heavy metals instead of the complexing agent when levels of reducing sugars in the samples were quantitatively determined. This would have the effect of underrepresenting reducing sugar levels in the raw materials.
