IntroductionThis study aims to quantify the shear wave speed (SWS) and stiffness of the uterine cervix (close to the internal cervical ostium (IOC) which is the cranial portion of cervix and close to the external cervical ostium (EOC) which is the caudal portion of cervix), caruncular areas, and vulvar labia during the postpartum period in healthy Kivircik ewes by using shear-wave elastography. Power Doppler ultrasonography was performed to evaluate the color pixel percentage (CPP) of the caruncles.MethodsThe study included 13 healthy pregnant Kivircik ewes, which were randomly selected. A total of 12 measurements were taken from the uterine cervix and vulva from the postpartum first day to PP42 (daily for the first week and weekly from PP14 to PP42). However, only eight measurements were obtained from the caruncles because they could not be visible after day 14.ResultsThe time-dependent differences in the widest cross-sectional diameter of the caruncles were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001) both in ewes giving birth to singletons and twins. As a result of power Doppler ultrasonography examination, the time-dependent differences in the CPP of the caruncles were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.01) in ewes giving birth to both singletons and twins. The diameter of the cervix at PP3 was significantly higher than the ones at PP14, PP21, PP28 (p &lt; 0.05). The SWS and stiffness in the IOC for all ewes at PP35 were significantly higher than the ones at PP1, PP4, PP7, and PP14 (p &lt; 0.05 and p &lt; 0.01; respectively). However, the time-dependent differences in SWS and stiffness in the EOC were not statistically significant (p &gt; 0.05). The time-dependent differences in the SWS and stiffness in the vulva were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001) in ewes giving birth to both singletons and twins.DiscussionIn conclusion, it is possible to describe the changes throughout the postpartum period and evaluate the involution of the uterine cervix, caruncles, and vulvar labia and tissue stiffness with significant results by B mode ultrasonography, power Doppler and shear wave elastography. We provided valuable information to elucidate the differences in the involution process of the uterine cervix, caruncles, and vulva concerning the number of offspring during the postpartum period in Kivircik ewes.

Published: December 2024

The Peruvian grunt Anisotremus scapularis is one of the most appreciated fish in Peruvian national markets. However, its reduced and irregular fishery is a paradigm of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU) in the Peruvian–Chilean coastal region. An important technological advancement has been achieved in the last decade in capture, management, nutrition, and broodstock maintenance to boost pilot experiences on the aquaculture of this species. Therefore, it is pertinent to evaluate the economic viability of this candidate species to identify cultivation bottlenecks, optimize the process, and assess the transfer feasibility of the technical know-how to interest groups. In this study, we performed a sensitivity analysis to assess how market price and production size should make its commercialization profitable. We show that the use of photovoltaic solar panels and a raw production cycle of 15 months enables profitability at a ~400 k unit farm size at a commercial market price of 6.67 USD/kg, i.e., B/C = USD 1.14. Both, time to market and market price exerted the highest influence on the value of grunt farms; whereas, a reduction of the production cycle to 12 months by seed selection, optimized rearing conditions, and nutritional diets also provides a profitable investment, i.e., NPV = USD 287,054 with an IRR = 23.71% at a discount rate of 10% and B/C = USD 1.15. These scenarios pave the way for the transfer of technological know-how to entrepreneurial initiatives in the economically depressed coastal region of the Atacama Desert.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a substantial global health concern, exacerbated by the widespread use of antibiotics and leading to the development of multidrug-resistant strains. The aim of this study was to analyze the temporal patterns of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae UTIs and antibiotic resistance, taking into account various sociodemographic, clinical, and climatic factors within the study population. Methods: A total of 3026 urine samples from patients of all ages were analyzed over a period of five years by standard microbiological methods. Climatic data for the study area were also collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to measure the impact of sociodemographic, clinical and climatic parameters on the occurrence of UTIs. Results: The study showed a 31.4% prevalence of UTIs among the population. Notably, there was a significant increase in pyelonephritis between 2019 and 2023 (p < 0.01). Furthermore, a significant association was found between cystitis and the long dry season, as well as the short rainy season. Furthermore, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibited resistance to beta-lactams, quinolones, and co-trimoxazole. The resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from cystitis to nitrofurantoin showed a significant increase over the years (p < 0.04). Principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that humidity may play a role in the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Conclusions: UTIs show variability according to various sociodemographic, clinical, and climatic factors, with a higher risk of complications seen in individuals aged ≤ 17 years. It is important to note that cases of pyelonephritis have been increasing over time, with a noticeable seasonal variation. This study suggests that humidity may play a role in promoting antibiotic multidrug resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Bengala, a steamer that sank in 1889 near Capo Rizzuto, Italy, was a relatively new vessel for its time, with an unusually short 18-year service life, given that steamers of the period typically operated for 30 to 40 years. Despite its brief history, SS Bengala played a significant role in the development of Italy’s young merchant navy, undergoing multiple ownership changes and serving various Italian shipping companies. Employed mainly along the route to Southeast Asia, it transported Italian migrants overseas and also participated in troop raids during the Italian military expedition to Eritrea in 1887. Despite its historical significance, no iconographic material has yet been found to depict SS Bengala, and archival research conducted in Italy and England has not uncovered any naval plans, photographs, or drawings of the ship. To overcome this gap, the authors employed new technologies and historical information to create a virtual reconstruction. This research combined archival sources with underwater surveys, including a detailed 3D survey by divers and archaeologists. Archival research, including consultation of official documents, provided critical information on the ship’s dimensions, superstructure, rigging, materials, and construction methods. The 3D modelling of the ship’s external hull, based on precise geometric data from the wreck site, offers a first step towards virtual reconstruction. The modelling is grounded in photogrammetric surveying techniques, ensuring high accuracy in the reconstruction process. The model can be used in augmented reality (AR) applications to enhance underwater exploration, allowing divers to visualise the reconstructed ship in its original environment. Additionally, it supports museum exhibits, interactive visualisations, and educational games, making it a valuable resource for engaging the public with maritime history and archaeology.

The basidiomycete Crucibulum laeve strain LE-BIN1700 (Agaricales, Nidulariaceae) is able to grow on agar media supplemented with individual components of lignocellulose such as lignin, cellulose, xylan, xyloglucan, arabinoxylan, starch and pectin, and also to effectively destroy and digest birch, alder and pine sawdust. C. laeve produces a unique repertoire of proteins for the saccharification of the plant biomass, including predominantly oxidative enzymes such as laccases (family AA1_1 CAZymes), GMC oxidoreductases (family AA3_2 CAZymes), FAD-oligosaccharide oxidase (family AA7 CAZymes) and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (family LPMO X325), as well as accompanying acetyl esterases and loosenine-like expansins. Metabolomic analysis revealed that, specifically, monosaccharides and carboxylic acids were the key low molecular metabolites in the C. laeve culture liquids in the experimental conditions. The proportion of monosaccharides and polyols in the total pool of identified compounds increased on the sawdust-containing media. Multiple copies of the family AA1_1, AA3_2, AA7 and LPMOs CAZyme genes, as well as eight genes encoding proteins of the YvrE superfamily (COG3386), which includes sugar lactone lactonases, were predicted in the C. laeve genome. According to metabolic pathway analysis, the litter saprotroph C. laeve can catabolize D-gluconic and D-galacturonic acids, and possibly other aldonic acids, which seems to confer certain ecological advantages.

INNOVATION IN TEACHING POLISH TO STUDENTS OF PHILOLOGY
Authors: Nedashkivska T. , Yarynovska K. 
Published: December 2024

The study examines the problem of implementing innovation in higher education institutions in the field of teaching Polish, in particular, the focus is on the features, methods, forms, digital platforms, applications and technologies that can be used in teaching foreign languages in higher education. Analysing teaching methods and their modern modification, it is necessary to pay attention to the intensification of learner-centred methods, so the authors present the dominant aspects and challenges of today's foreign language learning, emphasising that the introduction of innovative methods in the educational process not only diversifies educational activities, but also helps to acquire knowledge, skills and abilities more effectively. The expansion of the traditional approach to teaching Polish was caused by the social and historical events of recent years: the COVID-19 pandemic, when the transition to distance learning was forced, the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which called into question the possibility of carrying out the educational process in some regions. The relevance of studying the chosen topic is absolutely determined by modern historical and social events and requirements for representatives of the philological field. The article presents an overview of platforms that can help to organise the educational process competently, analyses the most popular platforms for learning Polish and teaching it to students of higher education institutions of philological faculties. The article also systematises and summarises information on modern methods of teaching foreign languages, in particular Polish, describes the author's methods – V. Broniarko's method, L. Shkutnyk's method, Z. Brzeszkiewicz's method; factors contributing to the effective mastery of Polish (foreign) languages are presented.

Authors: Bobrytska V. 
Published: December 2024

The article examines the pedagogical foundations for developing a health-preserving strategy in general secondary education institutions, addressing contemporary challenges associated with the unique characteristics of the educational process in Ukraine. The study aims to substantiate the theoretical and practical aspects of designing a health-preserving environment in modern general education schools.The research employs theoretical methods, including an analysis of regulatory acts, a logical-systemic analysis of health-preserving methods, synthesis, and the generalization of psychophysiological states of students in the context of learning and stressful conditions. The article outlines a set of organizational and pedagogical techniques and methods grounded in health-preserving technologies, specifically: 1) methods for assessing, self-monitoring, and restoring mental performance during lessons; 2) methods for restoring mental performance during free time; 3) methods for correcting the functional states of visual and auditory analyzers; 4) methods for improving mental health and reducing nervous tension, particularly relevant during the period of martial law in the country; 5) general strengthening methods for increasing resistance to distress (stress with negative health consequences for students). The successful implementation of the theoretical and applied principles for designing a health-preserving environment in general secondary education institutions (GSEI) is contingent upon a comprehensive set of health-preserving techniques and technologies under the following conditions: 1) motivational support for students’ health-preserving activities, emphasizing their practical significance and free choice; 2) integration of educational goals from the New Ukrainian School, particularly those focused on forming, preserving, and strengthening students' health and developing their health-preserving competencies; 3) application of the principle of selecting health-preserving technologies in GSEI that prioritises the student’s role as an individual with unique experiences and a specific lifestyle; 4) emphasis on humanistic values and prioritizing the recognition of the value of one’s own and others’ lives in the educational process; 5) ensuring the integrity and continuity of the process of fostering students’ health within the educational environment of GSEI. The study concludes by highlighting prospects for further research, including substantiating the feasibility of implementing adaptive learning in general secondary education institutions as a foundation for establishing a health-preserving educational environment in schools.
Gwarancja zatrudnienia a ustawa o ekonomii społecznej: społeczno-gospodarcze wyzwania
Authors: Augustyński Iwo , Kłosowicz-Toborek Katarzyna , Waligóra Anna , Zyzik Radosław 
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Identyfikacja uwarunkowań i skutków realizacji programów gwarancji zatrudnienia (PGZ) w perspektywach: prawnej, społecznej i gospodarczej.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Głównym problemem badawczym jest odpowiedź na pytanie: Jak ustawa o ekonomii społecznej z 5 sierpnia 2022 roku wpływa na możliwości realizacji PGZ i jakie generuje skutki społeczne i gospodarcze? Ustawa ta, oprócz tego, że reguluje kwestie organizacji i zasad działania przedsiębiorstw społecznych w Polsce, wpływa również na skuteczność niektórych narzędzi polityki rynku pracy. Jednym z takich narzędzi najmocniej związanych z ekonomią społeczną jest program gwarancji zatrudnienia. Na potrzeby realizacji celu pracy dokonano krytycznego przeglądu literatury naukowej oraz dokumentów i ustaw, a także zastosowano metody analizy prawnej.
PROCES WYWODU: Pierwsza część artykułu („Gwarancja zatrudnienia – pojęcia i definicje”) przedstawia pojęcie i cele PGZ. Druga część („Prawne podstawy sektora ekonomii społecznej”) analizuje relacje między ekonomią społeczną a polskim prawem. Trzecia część („Program gwarancji zatrudnienia w świetle ustawy i praktyki” oraz „Organizacja systemu wsparcia ekonomii społecznej”) pokazuje relacje w praktyce gospodarczej. Całość kończy zestawienie kluczowych wniosków wynikających z przeprowadzonych analiz („Wyniki”).
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Ustawa o ekonomii społecznej z 5 sierpnia 2022 r. wprowadza innowacyjne podejście do aktywizacji zawodowej osób marginalizowanych na rynku pracy poprzez wsparcie dla przedsiębiorstw społecznych. Stanowi dobrą podstawę do realizacji programów polityki rynku pracy, takich jak PGZ.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Ustawa stanowi solidną podstawę do wdrażania PGZ i wspiera rozwój lokalny oraz reintegrację społeczną, ale jej rzeczywista efektywność będzie zależała od głębokiego zrozumienia i dostosowania przepisów do zmieniających się potrzeb rynku pracy.
Rządzenie w kontekście rozstrzygania konfliktów politycznych – umiejętność czy słabość transformujących się systemów politycznych? Refleksja na kanwie rzeczywistości (po)tranzycyjnej
Authors: Bujwid-Kurek Ewa 
Published: December 2024

CEL NAUKOWY: Naczelnym celem badawczym niniejszych rozważań jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy w systemach politycznych znajdujących się w fazie transformacji ustrojowej atutem rządzących jest umiejętność rozstrzygania konfliktów politycznych, czy też jest to powszechnie występująca słabość mająca niekorzystny wpływ na efektywność tego procesu.
PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: W artykule szczególna uwaga zostanie nakierowana na rozwiązywanie konfliktów politycznych, które w systemie demokratycznym powinny być rozstrzygane w formie konsensualnej. W celu sprostania postawionemu celowi badawczemu sięgnięto po metody badawcze właściwe dyscyplinie nauki o polityce i administracji. Szczególnie przydatne były takie metody jak pogłębiony przegląd naukowej literatury przedmiotu oraz synteza wniosków.
PROCES WYWODU: Po uwagach wprowadzających zdefiniowany został desygnat pojęcia rządzenie, konflikt polityczny i sposoby jego rozwiązywania, a następnie zwrócona została uwaga na rzeczywistość (po)tranzycyjną. Rozważania zakończone są wnioskami końcowymi.
WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: W demokratyzujących się systemach politycznych, zgodnie z założeniami wynikającymi z wziętych pod uwagę paradygmatów tranzytologicznych, rządzący powinni cechować się zarówno wolą, jak i umiejętnością rozstrzygania pojawiających się konfliktów politycznych. Niestety, jak dowodzą konteksty sytuacyjne procesów transformacyjnych, zauważa się ewidentną trudność, na jaką napotykają rządzący w radzeniu sobie z dialogiem i wypracowaniem konsensusu, co niestety ma niekorzystny wpływ na „dojrzewanie demokracji”.
WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Praktyka dowodzi, że wciąż jeszcze, mimo upływu lat, rządzący najczęściej nieumiejętnie radzą sobie z „konfliktowością”, co niekorzystnie wpływa na zaawansowanie postępu w zakresie demokratyzacji systemu politycznego. Wnioski płynące z przeprowadzonych rozważań adresowane mogą być zarówno do politologów, jak też polityków (elit politycznych), którym losy demokratycznego systemu politycznego nie powinny być obojętne.
