Authors:   Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shimanskaya Olga K. , Senyutkina Olga N. ,   Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University named after N. A. Dobrolyubov
Published: October 2024

In the modern world, the increasing pace of globalization strengthens inter-civilization interaction, its consequence is the Europeanization of non-European social worlds and cultures, and the response to it was the orientalization of Europe, that is the emergence and integration of significant Muslim diasporas on the territory of European states. The Europeanization of the Islamic regions of the East and the increase as a result of migration of Muslim communities in European countries poses the problem of a painless and, preferably, fruitful synthesis of the European way of life and values with the ethics and lifestyle of followers of Islam. The purpose of the article is to consider the positions assessing the interpenetration of Islam and Western European culture in the discussions of Islamic scholars, politicians and religious figures. The object of the study is discussions about the concept of “Euroislam” in modern Russian and foreign oriental literature. The subject of the study is the content of the concept of “Euroislam” in relation to modern socio-political life and religious practices of Muslims. The objectives of the study are: to analyze the genesis of the emergence of the concept of “Euroislam” among thinkers of different regions of residence of Muslims in new and modern times; to define the concept of “Euroislam” in domestic science and the religious and political field; to identify the relationship of the concept of “Euroislam” with the realities of the life of the Muslim world, as well as the existence of Muslim communities in Russia and Europe. The work is carried out on the basis of the general scientific principles of objectivity, consistency, historicism using the hermeneutic method, methods of content analysis and comparative studies, as well as formal-logical procedures for deduction and induction, definition and classification. Using comparative techniques, the authors have made an attempt to answer the question of how much Euroislam affects such components of classical Islam as its dogma, rituals and organization of religious life. This approach to Islamic issues allows to a certain extent to enrich the methodology of humanitarian research with additional experience in the use of comparative studies. The case of Euro Islam raises the question of the possibility of the “joint existence” of different ethnic groups and faiths and the “collective habit” (that is, the incorporation of the individual’s social and political experience), on the one hand, and the basic principles of democracy of the Western European model, on the other.
Territorial Management of a Regional University: Growth Management Factors
Authors:   Transbaikal State University, Tomskikh Andrey A. 
Published: October 2024

The modernization of vocational education in the country has been going on for three decades. During this time, about ten major programs have been implemented only at the federal level and many projects in the regions. The most significant tasks were solved in terms of positioning the country’s vocational education system in the world. Their reflection was the world rankings. Management decisions on the development of regional universities in the country have not yet led to any significant result in solving the issue of the disproportion of the development of higher education in the “center/periphery” system. The object of the study is the territorial organization and differences of vocational education in Russia at the regional level; the subject of the study is the factors of territorial management. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of growth management factors and decision making. Research objectives are analysis of the sectoral, territorial situation and potential opportunities. Leading scientific and educational centers «continue» to draw on the main financial, human and intellectual resources, which does not contribute to the socio-economic development of peripheral regions. One of the key problems of the regional universities’ development has become a constant decrease in the number of students as a result of a shortage for the first year. For the university itself, the line is marked for the loss of scientific and pedagogical schools due to the reduction of personnel and their reproduction dynamics, and the associated further degradation as a university in its classical mission. Traditional methods of career guidance used in universities do not work properly. It is concluded that there is a need for other approaches to the organization of processes based on the formation of growth management factors – territorial clusters “school-university” and “school-university-business” in terms of creating a business environment, building social capital for students along the entire chain of interaction. The university of the future and students should be involved in the economic, socio-cultural space of the region at the modern level of interactions and processes, and not only territorially.

Authors: Ahmed Salaar , Irshad Hammad Atif , Golani Shalni , Tariq Talal Bin , Virwani Vikash , Farhat Sabah , Fatima Syeda Sadia 
Published: October 2024

Background: More than 75 genetic susceptibility loci have been implicated with hyperglycemia. SNPs in genes linked with satiety, insulin sensitivity, BMR (Adiponectin, FTO, and MC4R), and inflammation and autoimmunity (TNF-a) have been shown to have a relationship with metabolic syndrome.
Objectives: To measure the frequency of ADIPOQ, FTO, MCR4, and TNF SNPs in metabolic syndrome patients and controls, and to assess the association of these with hyperglycemia and adiposity status.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Baseline investigations including lipid profiles, blood glucose levels, and BMI calculation were conducted for n=113 Metabolic Syndrome and n=47 healthy controls. Tetra ARMS PCR and gel electrophoresis were conducted for Adiponectin rs266729, Adiponectin rs1501299, FTO rs9939609, MCR4 rs1297013, and TNF rs1800629. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.
Results: Difference was observed in lipid profiles (including LDL, triglycerides, and cholesterol but not HDL), body fat percentage (p= 0.034), and both fasting (p=0.000) and random (p=0.000) blood glucose levels among metabolic syndrome patients versus controls. Adiponectin rs1501299, FTO rs9939609, and MCR4 rs1297013 showed genotype frequency differences between groups. Spearman’s correlation was applied to test any association of risk allele with study variables and MCR4 rs1297013 showed an independent association with Fasting Blood Glucose Level (r=0.238; p=0.024) irrespective of age, weight, or gender.
Conclusion: MCR4 rs1297013 polymorphism is an independent risk factor leading to hyperglycemia in the study population, however, no other SNPs were identified to carry a significant risk. Large-scale genome-wide studies are required to identify the unique set of risk genes for the Pakistani population
Digital Interventions for Managing Medication and Health Care Service Delivery in West Africa: Systematic Review
Authors: Oluokun Emmanuel Oluwatosin , Adedoyin Festus Fatai , Dogan Huseyin , Jiang Nan 
Published: October 2024

Background
As a result of the recent advancements in technology, the incorporation of digital interventions into the health care system has gained a lot of attention and adoption globally. However, these interventions have not been fully adopted, thereby limiting their impact on health care delivery in West Africa.

Objective
This review primarily aims at evaluating the current digital interventions for medication and health care delivery in West Africa. Its secondary aim is to assess the impacts of digital interventions in managing medication and health care service delivery with the intent of providing vital recommendations that would contribute to an excellent adoption of digital intervention tools in the health care space in West Africa.

Methods
In line with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), a comprehensive search through various databases yielded 529 results. After a rigorous screening, 29 articles that provided information on 3 broad digital health intervention tools were found eligible for this review.

Results
Out of 29 studies, 16 (55%) studies examined phone-based interventions, 9 (31%) studies focused on tele- and e-based interventions, and 4 (14%) studies evaluated digital interventions. These interventions were used for diverse purposes, some of which are monitoring adverse drug reactions, general health, sexual and reproductive health, and training of health care practitioners. The phone-based intervention appears to be the most known and impactful of all the interventions, followed by tele- and e-based, while digital interventions were scarcely used.

Conclusions
Digital interventions have had a considerable level of impact on medication and health care delivery across West Africa. However, the overall impact is limited. Therefore, strategies must be developed to address the challenges limiting the use of digital intervention tools so that these tools can be fully incorporated into the health care space in West Africa.
Enhancing the Functionalities of Personal Health Record Systems: Empirical Study Based on the HL7 Personal Health Record System Functional Model Release 1
Authors: Cao Teng , Chen Zhi , Nakayama Masaharu 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background
The increasing demand for personal health record (PHR) systems is driven by individuals’ desire to actively manage their health care. However, the limited functionality of current PHR systems has affected users’ willingness to adopt them, leading to lower-than-expected usage rates. The HL7 (Health Level Seven) PHR System Functional Model (PHR-S FM) was proposed to address this issue, outlining all possible functionalities in PHR systems. Although the PHR-S FM provides a comprehensive theoretical framework, its practical effectiveness and applicability have not been fully explored.

Objective
This study aimed to design and develop a tethered PHR prototype in accordance with the guidelines of the PHR-S FM. It sought to explore the feasibility of applying the PHR-S FM in PHR systems by comparing the prototype with the results of previous research.

Methods
The PHR-S FM profile was defined to meet broad clinical data management requirements based on previous research. We designed and developed a PHR prototype as a web application using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources R4 (FHIR) and Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) coding system for interoperability and data consistency. We validated the prototype using the Synthea dataset, which provided realistic synthetic medical records. In addition, we compared the results produced by the prototype with those of previous studies to evaluate the feasibility and implementation of the PHR-S FM framework.

Results
The PHR prototype was developed based on the PHR-S FM profile. We verified its functionality by demonstrating its ability to synchronize data with the FHIR server, effectively managing and displaying various health data types. Validation using the Synthea dataset confirmed the prototype’s accuracy, achieving 100% coverage across 1157 data items. A comparison with the findings of previous studies indicated the feasibility of implementing the PHR-S FM and highlighted areas for future research and improvements.

Conclusions
The results of this study offer valuable insights into the potential for practical application and broad adoption of the PHR-S FM in real-world health care settings.

Authors: Zhang Zeyu , Li Sijia , Zhai Zidan , Qiu Ting , Zhou Yu , Zhang Heng 
Published: October 2024

Background
Although the problem of malnutrition among children in China has greatly improved in recent years, there is a gap compared to developed countries, and there are differences between provinces. Research on long-term comprehensive trends in child growth failure (CGF) in China is needed for further improvement.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to examine trends in stunting, wasting, and underweight among children younger than 5 years in China from 2000 to 2019, and predict CGF till 2030.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the local burden of disease (LBD) database. Using Joinpoint Regression Software, we examined trends in CGF among children younger than 5 years in China from 2000 to 2019, and predicted the trends of prevalence in 2030, using the Holt-Winters model with trends but without seasonal components. The assessment was performed with Stata 17 (StataCorp). Data were analyzed from October 17, 2023, to November 22, 2023.

Results
In 2019, the prevalences of stunting, wasting, and underweight decreased to 12%, 3%, and 4%, respectively (decreases of 36.9%, 25.0%, and 42.9%, respectively, compared with the values in 2000). The prevalence of CGF decreased rapidly from 2000 to 2010, and the downward trend slowed down after 2010. Most provinces had stagnated processes of trends after 2017. The age group with the highest stunting prevalence was children aged 1 to 4 years, and the highest prevalence of wasting and underweight was noted in early neonatal infants. From 2000 to 2019, the prevalence of CGF declined in all age groups of children. The largest relative decrease in stunting and underweight was noted in children aged 1 to 4 years, and the largest decrease in wasting was noted in early neonatal infants. The prevalences of stunting, wasting, and underweight in China are estimated to decrease to 11.4%, 3.2%, and 4.1%, respectively, by 2030. China has nationally met the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Targets for 2030 for stunting but not for wasting.

Conclusions
This study provides data on the prevalence and trends of CGF among children younger than 5 years and reports declines in CGF. There remain areas with slow progress in China. Most units have achieved the goal for stunting prevalence but not wasting prevalence.
Multiletramentos em materiais didáticos na rede pública de ensino do Paraná
Authors: Brito Bruno dos Santos de Castro , Nicola Rosane de Mello Santo 
Published: October 2024

Este artigo visa examinar práticas de multiletramentos sobre o gênero notícia promovidas em materiais didáticos disponibilizados pela Secretaria de Estado da Educação do Paraná (Seed-PR) aos docentes de turmas do 6.º ano do ensino fundamental, no período pandêmico de março/2020 a setembro/2021. Realiza-se, então, uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa-quanto, com base em Menegassi (2009), Solé (1998) e Baltar (2004) e uma pesquisa documental com a técnica de análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 2011) aplicada no software ATLAS.ti. Para tanto, coletou-se uma amostragem de 11 arquivos ppt (248 slides) e um enunciado de produção textual sobre o gênero notícia, todos compartilhados com docentes via RCO+Aulas e com discentes do 6.º ano do ensino fundamental via Google Classroom. Como resultados, por meio desse corpus, foi possível perceber que esses materiais de apoio ao docente propõem práticas pouco promotoras de multiletramento, dado que não abrangem um trabalho com textos autênticos e multimodais como o gênero notícia; por outro lado, identificam-se práticas de letramentos em leitura e produção escrita. Por fim, os resultados parecem apontar que essa consequência decorre de uma alta valorização da literalidade do discurso e pouca exploração das diferentes semioses presentes nos textos da contemporaneidade. Diante disso, ressalta-se o papel fundamental do professor na garantia de uma pedagogia dos multiletramentos.
Influence of bark chemistry on distribution of epiphytic mosses on basal trunk of <i>Cryptomeria japonica</i>
Authors: Halder Kheyali , Chakraborti Subhra , Lama Projjwal Chandra , Mitra Souvik 
Published: October 2024

Epiphytic mosses are integral parts of forest community structure in the Darjeeling Hills of the Eastern Himalayan region with remarkable contributions to the ecosystem functionality. The study was framed to assess the richness and spatial distribution of epiphytic mosses growing on the basal trunk of Cryptomeria japonica (Thunb. ex. L.) D.Don, and also to evaluate the explanatory host traits for shaping the moss assemblage. Field measurements and sampling were performed near Lamahatta village within Darjeeling district on 270 microplots placed on tree trunks. A total of twelve mosses represented by the members of Dicranales and Hypnales were recorded. Low species diversity was observed with dominance and maximum cover of Syrrhopodon confertus. Canonical correspondence analysis predicted a distinct combination of chemical requirements for local colonization of each moss. The results also demonstrated influence of bark acidic inputs on abundance and co-existence of bryophytes. The outcome can be potentially helpful in depicting the community structure of non-vascular epiphytes, which may further be considered while developing forest management strategies.
‘Tortured phrases’ impact the integrity of the environmental literature
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A. 
Published: October 2024

In environmental science, it is necessary to accurately describe processes, methods and phenomena using established technical terms and jargon. Any significant deviation from such terms might leave readers and peers confused, while confusion can lead to misinterpretations, opening up the possibility of errors. During peer review and prior to publication in a peer-reviewed environmental journal, it is thus incumbent upon editors and peer reviewers, and to a lesser extent copy editors, to verify that terminology in a scientific paper is accurate. In this brief communication, 61 papers with cases of ‘tortured phrases’, which are terms that have – for some reason – come to replace established jargon, are described in indexed environmental literature, frequently in indexed journals that are generally associated with reputable publishers. Of the 61 papers, 13 have been retracted, suggesting an erosion of the papers’ integrity. Awareness of this phenomenon and these cases allows editors and peer reviewers of environmental journals to be more careful when screening and vetting submitted papers, but should also serve as a lesson for authors to be more careful when writing their papers, avoiding the temptation to automatically incorporate text that online text thesauruses may provide, or to use non-standard terms.

Assessing position changes of impacted third molars in treatment of class II malocclusion with premolars extraction
Authors: Gokalp Hatice , Kaan Erdem Murat 
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Third molars (M3) remaining impacted in Class II malocclusion characterised with sagittal mandibular deficiency is a high probability. The null hypothesis of this study is that mesioangular M3s changes position through the eruption way in Class II malocclusion treatment requiring moderate anchorage with four first premolars extraction. The aim of this study is to reconsider the decision to surgically extract impacted third molars in four premolars extraction treatment of Class II malocclusion.
Material and Methods: The materials consisted of the pre-treatment and post-treatment lateral cephalograms and orthopantomographs of 30 individuals with skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion with a mean chronological age of 13.48 years, who were treated by the same clinician (H.G.) with four first premolar extractions via the straight wire technique at the Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Orthodontics, Ankara, Turkey. The sagittal position of the upper and lower incisors and molars, M3 position and M3 space were evaluated with the paired-t test; the relationship between the sagittal position of the upper and lower incisors and molars and the change in M3 position were evaluated with correlation analysis.
Results: The study found the retroclination and mesial movement of the upper incisors and molars, and an increase in the M3 space by the fixed orthodontic treatment. An insignificant steepening of both the upper right M3 position and the lower right M3 position was found. A statistically significant increase in the lower right and left side M3 spaces was found. Positive correlations between lower right M3 angulation and the sagittal position of the lower incisors and first molars were found.
Conclusion: Improvement in the mesioangulation of the M3s and an increase in the M3 space were achieved in this study. Based on the findings, it is useful to review the decision for prophylactic surgical extraction of the M3s before orthodontic treatment in such cases, taking into account the risks of postoperative complications.
