The Influence of Heavy Metal Pollution on the Pigment Content in the Assimilation Apparatus of Poplar Cultivars in the Conditions of the Iron Ore Region
Authors: Danylchuk Oleksandr , Danylchuk Natalia , Boyko Lyudmyla , Yukhymenko Yulia 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
We carried out studies of the translocation of heavy metals in the soils of Kryvyi Rih. The peculiarities of the accumulation of heavy metals in the assimilation apparatus of seven poplar cultivars were clarified. The maximum rates of translocation of heavy metals were detected at the monitoring site of the industrial site of Northern Iron Ore Dressing Combine (henceforth referred to as Pivnichnyi HZK or PivnHZK). In the leaves of poplars “Lvivska,” “Hradizhzka,” and “I-45/51,” cadmium, one of the highly toxic elements, accumulates 25–30 times more than in the leaves of control plants. High rates of accumulation of heavy metals lead to a violation of the functioning of the plant organism at the physiological and biochemical levels, as evidenced by changes in the content of chlorophyll a and b. The amount of the main pigments of photosynthesis in the leaves of poplar cultivars under conditions of environmental pollution with heavy metals is lower than in the control, which indicates the inclusion of plant signaling mechanisms. At the same time, the amount of carotenoids in the organs of assimilation of poplars growing on the industrial sites of Northern and Central Iron Ore Dressing Combines (henceforth referred to as Central HZK or CHZK) increases and indicates the realization of their protective functions. The investigated cultivars can be divided into two groups according to the intensity of changes in pigment content. The first group (with a decrease in chlorophylls up to 2 times and an increase in the amount of carotenoids up to 2.5 times) includes “I-45/51,” “Lvivska,” and “Hradizhzka,” and the second group (with a decrease in chlorophylls by more than 2 times and an increase in the amount of carotenoids by more than 2.5 times) includes “Keliberdynska,” “Robusta,” “Sacrau-59,” and “Tronco.” This fact indicates better adaptation and greater resistance of cultivars of the first group to the action of heavy metals.

Authors: Azizkhanli Kharibul , Asgarov Aydin , Shahmorad Babak , Eldarov Mahammad 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Knowing the distribution and eco-geography of native Onobrychis altissima and O. cyri in Azerbaijan is critical for the implementation of strategies for their conservation and sustainable use. This study includes 27 specimens from nine wild populations of O. altissima and O. cyri collected from their natural habitats in Azerbaijan. The aims of this study are to provide a detailed morphological and eco-geographic characterization of O. altissima and O. cyri, to determine the distribution and environmental variables that define the eco-geographic zones native to Azerbaijan, and also to determine the priority areas for in situ conservation of native Onobrychis germplasm in Azerbaijan. Besides, research work was carried out for the purpose of clarifying the distribution areas, discovering more resistant species for selection, as well as enriching the genetic resources and Her-barium Fund. The specimens were biometrically assessed using 34 quantitative and 10 qualitative morphological characters. At each site, we recorded eco-geographic data regarding longitude, latitude, altitude, slope inclination, slope orientation, maximum and minimum temperatures, annual precipitation, relief, as well as soil traits including texture, humus, organic carbon, total nitrogen, pH, phosphorus pentoxide, potassium oxide, and magnesium. Cluster analysis of morphological characters showed that the nine populations could be divided into three main groups. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) of eco-geographic data is discussed. The article presents tables and phenograms reflecting some eco-geographic information and a distribution map of the species.
Hisaye Yamamoto’s Silence-Voice Interplay in Japanese American Imprisonment Camps
Authors: Petruş Raluca-Andreea 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Within times of war and U.S.-state-imposed guilt, Japanese American female characters in “The Legends of Miss Sasagawara” experience repeated status changes throughout World War II and the Japanese American imprisonment camps. The tense conflictual relations between U.S. authorities and the Nikkei (Japanese diaspora in the United States) echo within the intra-Nikkei communities held in camps: branded as enemies by the state, Nikkei individuals re-segregate within camps, leading to a fractured communication and tribalist attitudes. The present paper investigates the silence-voice interplay of female characters in confinement narratives, as depicted by Hisaye Yamamoto in her literary rendering of the Japanese American imprisonment camps phenomenon. The historical context of the 1940s ruptures the communication inside the Nikkei community, especially concerning the female character Miss Mari Sasagawara, leading to misunderstandings, tribalism, and (self-)isolation.
Health literacy and the role of therapeutic professionals: A scoping review / Gesundheitskompetenz und die Rolle der Therapieberufe: Ein scoping Review
Authors: Schwendemann Hanna Elisabeth , Thieme Holm 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background and aim
Health literacy (HL) describes people’s knowledge, motivation, and competences to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information. Limited health literacy can clearly negatively impact health outcomes and therapeutic professionals are potentially important contact persons for patients and their relatives to address health literacy.
The aim of this scoping review is to summarize the current literature regarding HL in the selected therapeutic professions (occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech and language therapy).

Methods (incl. inclusion criteria)
We conducted an electronic database search in PubMed and CINAHL (EBSCO) up to September 2022. Two authors independently selected studies using the following inclusion criteria: (1) addressing the topic HL and (2) explicitly integrating therapeutic professionals. After extracting relevant information, the included articles were qualitatively analyzed using a narrative synthesis.

Results
We identified 39 research and non-research articles. The content analysis revealed the following 5 themes: (1) HL–related knowledge and skills, (2) Education and training regarding HL, (3) assessment of HL of their clients, (4) Preparation and communication of health-related information, and (5) HL in organizations.

Discussion
Most therapeutic professionals were familiar with the term HL, but a lack of deep understanding is described. However, therapeutic professionals are aware of the importance of addressing the needs of clients with low HL. An integration of HL-related issues in professional training and further research regarding concepts to screen and address HL in therapeutic practice are needed.

Published: December 2023

The current method for determining the portfolio of scientific and technological tasks for Ninh Thuan province up to 2025 share some several similarities with the current approach, but also significant differences and innovations. Instead of annually announcing task orders, Ninh Thuan identifies priority tasks based on the directives and policies of the Party and the government as well as local practical needs. Subsequently, it formulates specialized resolutions regarding the direction and resources to establish a solid foundation for implementation. Simultaneously, it develops a list of scientific and technological tasks along the long-term value chain in stages to proactively engage local, central, and societal ideas and resources.

Hunnic Echo in the Buryat Epic
Authors: Дугаров Б.С. 
Published: December 2023

В статье рассматриваются два бурятских сказания — «Нарин хузуун Гулдэмэй» и глава об Аксагалдае из эпопеи «Абай Гэсэр-хубун» — в сравнении с рассказом о воцарении хуннского вождя Модэ (234–174 до н. э.), изложенным столетие спустя китайским хронистом Сыма Цянем в его «Исторических записках». Этот рассказ, по мнению историка-хунноведа Н.Н. Крадина, является по своему происхождению фольклорным произведением, записанным от хуннского сказителя. В результате сопоставительного анализа всех трех вышеназванных нарративов выясняется их смысловое и сюжетное сходство, которое определяется прежде всего мотивом борьбы за власть и престолонаследие. Данный мотив особенно ярко проявляется в относящемся к «воинскому» циклу сказании «Нарин хузуун Гулдэмэй», в котором сохранилось название хуннского титула шаньюй в качестве почетного прозвища одноименного героя. А в сказании об Аксагалдае конфликт старшего дружинника с правителем (Гэсэром) сопряжен с мотивом предательства и стремления к власти, что также находит фигуральное созвучие с легендой о Модэ. В целом основной мотив (борьба за власть) реализуется как тема трех рассмотренных в данной статье эпических сюжетов. Они в совокупности указывают на феномен устной традиции как источник и хранилище исторической памяти у центральноазиатских кочевников. Что касается бурятских сказаний, то они, бытуя на периферии Великой Степи в условиях горно-таежного Прибайкалья, способствовавших длительной архаизации эпического фольклора, сумели сохранить уникальный отголосок хуннских времен.
This article deals with two Buryat legends — “Narin khuzuun Guldemey” and the chapter about Aksagaldai from the epic “Abay Geser-hubun”— in comparison with the story about the accession of the Xiongnu leader Mode (234–174 BC) told a century later by the Chinese chronicler Sima Qian in his “Historical Notes”. According to the historian N.N. Kradina, this story is originally a work of folklore written down from a Xiongnu storyteller. Comparative analysis of the three narratives reveals their semantic and plot similarity, primarily due to the motif of the struggle for power and succession to the throne. This motif is particularly evident in the “warrior” cycle of “Narin khuzuun Guldemey”, in which the Xiongnu title “shanyu” is preserved as an honorary nickname of the hero of the same name. And in the legend about Aksagaldai, the conflict between the senior combatant and the ruler (Geser) is associated with the motif of betrayal and the desire for power, which also finds figurative consonance with the legend of “Mode”. In general, the main motif of the struggle for power constitutes the theme of the three epic plots considered in this article. Together they point to the oral tradition as a source and repository of historical memory among Central Asian nomads. The fact that the Buryats lived on the periphery of the Great Steppe in the Baikal region contributed to the long-term archaization of epic folklore and the preservation of a unique echo of Xiongnu times.
The University System and the Issue of Performance: What Perceptions of Stakeholders? Case of Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University
Authors: Zouheir Boussouf , Hanae Amrani , Ahmed Aftiss 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The aim of this article is to understand the perception of stakeholders of university performance, its determinants, actors and influencing factors.

Theoretical Framework: The literature review shed light on the current state of the Moroccan university, namely its issues and challenges, while emphasizing the concept of performance in the complex university environment.

Design/Methodology/Approach: In the course of this research, we mobilized a qualitative approach based on a single case study, namely the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University in the city of Fez.

Findings: The analysis of stakeholders' perceptions and expectations revealed the existence of several factors influencing the university's performance: the quality of the internal environment and its ability to guarantee the quality of training, the integration of graduates into the job market, scientific production, the search for funding through contracts, research projects, motivation of researchers through the reimbursement of publication costs for their scientific research in indexed journals, and good governance. Taken together, these factors are the main determinants of Moroccan university performance.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: The results of our research will be used by neighboring universities to improve their performance. It's not just a question of looking at financial indicators such as the commitment rate to judge whether the university is efficient. We need to go beyond this dimension to touch on others, because as long as its missions and stakeholders are plural, achieving performance remains utopian in terms of its dimensions.

Originality/Value: The article's originality lies in its treatment of the notion of performance in a rather complicated environment characterized by the proliferation of its stakeholders, making it difficult to assess in comparison with other establishments. This paper will be of great added value to universities that want to make performance one of their elementary objectives by referring first and foremost to the various factors that help generate university performance.

The image of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness: from Slavophiles to Eurasians
Authors: Semikopov D. V. , Zakhriapin A. A. , Lebedev I. A. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article examines the peculiarities of the transformation of the historical image of the empire in the national intellectual tradition. The views of such thinkers as M.N. Katkov, F.I. Tyutchev, I.V. Kireevsky, A.S. Khomyakov, Yu.F. Samarin, K.N. Leontiev, P.B. Struve, M.O. Menshikov, P.N. Savitsky, N.S. Trubetskoy and others are analyzed. The typologization and analysis of the key images of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness, namely: European, Byzantine and Eurasian, is presented.Materials and Methods. The main material of this article is the research of the following authors: L.E. Shaposhnikov, O.V. Parilov, S.N. Pushkin, V.M. Lurie, A.K. Tolstenko, R.R. Vakhitov. The following methods were used in the presented study: system analysis, philosophical analysis, interpretation, comparison and synthesis.Results. The article examines the evolution of the image of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness, starting from the triad of Count S.S. Uvarov, the ideas of M.N. Katkov and Slavophiles, ending with the Eurasian concepts of P.N. Savitsky and N.S. Trubetskoy. During the development of the idea of empire, three main images of it were formed. The first is the European one, in which the Russian Empire is perceived as one of the European powers claiming their piece of the world pie. This image quite logically changes from the absolutist-autocratic to the liberal-national. The second image is Slavophile. Being absolutely monarchical, he regards Russia, headed by an Orthodox emperor, as the heiress of Byzantium, endowed with a special messianic status. The third image is Eurasian (P.N. Savitsky, N.S. Trubetskoy). It represents the image of a "reassembled" empire that underwent profound changes as a result of the revolution. The Eurasians are moving away from the image of the universal empire to the image of a self-sufficient "mainland state" preserving its original civilization based on Orthodoxy. At the same time, they actively use the Slavophile category of conciliarity, transferring it from the sphere of theology to national and cultural policy. The Eurasians proclaim the fundamental equality of national cultures and their unity in cathedral Russia.Discussion and Conclusions. The authors of the study managed to conduct a systematic and full-fledged historical and philosophical analysis of the evolution of the image of the empire in the Russian historiosophical consciousness, from Slavophiles to Eurasians. The authors managed to carry out a comprehensive and systematic historical and philosophical analysis of the three main images of the empire of the European, Byzantine and Eurasian.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. In accordance with the need to develop students’ ability and readiness for continuous self-education and self-development throughout their lives, the importance of students’ independent work increases significantly. In the context of the digital transformation of education, one of the main forms of independent work should be joint network activities of students, during which network educational communities are formed. The purpose of the article is to consider the possibilities of organizing joint network activities of future technology teachers as part of independent work in disciplines, practices, as well as in extracurricular activities; analyze the didactic potential of the online educational communities of students that are being formed.Materials and Methods. When writing the article, methods of analysis of domestic and foreign literature, comparative analysis, generalization and systematization, and pedagogical experiment were used.Results. Today, when improving the qualifications of teaching staff, the model of “horizontal training”, when training is carried out within professional communities, is quite actively used. This model can also be effective for communities of future teachers. Digital tools for organizing joint network activities within disciplines and practices are presented when organizing independent work for students at Minin University. Special attention is paid to the organization of joint network activities within the framework of the communicative and digital module of the Core of Higher Pedagogical Education. The greatest effect from joint network activities of future teachers can be obtained through project activities. Examples of network projects of teachers and students of Minin University are given, within the framework of which project and network communities are formed.Discussion and Conclusions. Properly organized independent work in the digital educational environment of the university, the use of modern digital tools for this significantly improves the quality of professional training of specialists. Joint network activities make it possible to organize mutual learning within the emerging educational student community. At the same time, conditions are created for the formation of team building skills, universal and professional competencies, ICT competence of future technology teachers, self-assessment and mutual assessment skills.
