A Counterblast to Pessimists and Naysayers – Intelligent Echocardiography Remains the Foundation Stone of Evidence-Based Clinical Cardiology
Authors: Fraser Alan G 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Provocative comments can entertain and instruct as long as they are used to stimulate a civilized discussion, and it is fun to embrace an opportunity to change one’s mind (and learn). I am therefore delighted to respond to Adrian Ionescu’s comments, although I think he has got it wrong—as I will aim to demonstrate. In the spirit of this debate, please indulge me while I too let off some steam!
I have always disliked the fact that one of the subspecialties within cardiology, which did not exist when I qualified in the 1970s, has come to be known as “cardiac imaging.” Cardiac diagnosis is not about pictures, although some conditions are indeed instantly recognizable. Usually, what we need to know to understand disease is how the heart is functioning, much more than what it looks like. That is true for coronary arteriography as much as for non-invasive imaging. If I am forced to adopt a subspeciality label, then I would much prefer to be considered a clinical pathophysiologist.
Accurate diagnosis is the sine qua non of logical evidence-based clinical practice, yet we often get it wrong. And there remain many patients with disease that we cannot diagnose precisely because we do not understand it sufficiently. Why does this patient with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction have impaired left ventricular function? Why does that patient with normal blood pressure have left ventricular hypertrophy? In this patient in sinus rhythm, which particular aspects of cardiovascular function will influence the development of dementia? Cardiologists who are expert in performing, analyzing, and interpreting detailed echocardiographic and cardiovascular investigations are needed to give us the best chance of answering such questions. They cannot be replaced by an uninterpretable computer algorithm when no-one yet knows the answer—but by staying in control, researchers can use artificial intelligence (AI) to help their thinking.

Published: November 2023

One of the responsibilities a lecturer should concern while teaching the students is to create a communicative environment, instead of worrying about the process of teaching and put no regard on the students’ language ability. This research aimed to find out the kinds of strategy in teaching speaking of English Education Study Program and to know the application of those strategies in the classroom. The research designed in this study was a descriptive qualitative to describe the status of things in the present or in the past. It meant that the data gathered were not analyzed in term of number statistical accounting but were analyzed in the qualitative form which is more than more numbers or frequencies. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the most lecturers’ teaching strategy that used in teaching speaking are using recording & transcripts, dialogues, discussion, classroom conversation, and casual chat. Lecturers’ used that technique because it is based on the handbook and it is easy to practice. Some other strategy sometimes used by lecturers’, but the frequency is very rare. The most used are dialogues and conversation and chat and jokes. Based on the discussion, most students like the strategy that used by the teacher. They followed lecturers’ instruction.

Published: November 2023

Blockchain has garnered the most attention as the most important new technology that supports recent digital transactions via e-government. The most critical challenge for public e-government systems is reducing bureaucracy and increasing the efficiency and performance of administrative processes in these systems since blockchain technology can play a role in a decentralized environment and execute a high level of security transactions and transparency. So, the main objectives of this work are to survey different proposed models for e-government system architecture based on blockchain technology implementation and how these models are validated. This work studies and analyzes some research trends focused on blockchain and the future of e-governance for connecting citizens and smart cities, such as Using Blockchain in the Notarial Office (NO), using blockchain technology in the management of police complaints, exploring blockchain-enabled end-to-end security e-voting, using blockchain and smart contract technology for trusted and safe property registration and record management, and using a blockchain-enabled Vehicle Certification (BVC) framework. Finally, this work has proven that the issue of transforming governments from the traditional system to electronic governments based on blockchain technology has become an inevitable matter of time.
Taylor Swift and Influence: Sorting out the Effects of Celebrity and Other Political Endorsement
Authors: Jackson David , Nownes Anthony , Norton Thomas 
Published: November 2023

<p>In this article we examine the effect of Taylor Swift's hypothetical endorsement of a Public policy position. We examine this in the context of not just the expanding literature on the effects of celebrity endorsements, but also through the lens of Robert Cialdini's work on the seven factors of influence. Through a post-test only experimental survey design we test Swift's endorsement of a policy position, compared with the effects of social proof, scarcity, and authority. We find that Swift's endorsement is at least as influential as these other elements of influence, and possibly more so. We conclude with informed speculation about why Swift's value as an endorser may be particularly high. The survey was approved by BGSU’s Institutional Review Board (IRBNet ID Number: 2072943-2). </p>

ABSTRACT
State actors' behavior and diverse political acts are impacted by their national interests, as well as the dynamics of the strategic environment, which intersect with the defense and sovereignty spectrum. It is explained through the liberalism paradigm that these features may coexist, which will inspire countries to collaborate to achieve larger aims. This study will look at the pattern of ratification of international agreements in the defense sector under President Joko Widodo's rule, as a way of developing the state's defense and security in the face of diverse challenges and possibilities. Furthermore, this study will examine on the procedure and flow of ratification of international agreements, as well as the content of the ratification instruments. The research hypothesis then provides an explanation of what variables motivate actors to participate in the ratification process, which includes issues of collective security in addition to an interest in strengthening capabilities and the defense sector.
Методичні особливості викладання природничих дисциплін засобами емерджентно-інтегративного підходу

The article is devoted to the search for the possibilities of implementing an emergent-integrative approach to the training of future teachers of natural sciences in the process of mastering the cycle of fundamental sciences: physics, astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, cosmogony.
The possibility of one of the variants of the system-integrative approach to the structuring and study of educational material about fundamental interactions in nature and the current state of the process of combining the physical theories that describe them is substantiated.
As research methods, a comprehensive analysis of scientific and methodological sources was used, in which a unified approach to solving pedagogical problems is represented, and a synthesis of the relevant research results published in scientific and pedagogical publications, with the results of the author's work on their experimental implementation in educational practice. We practice teaching the integrative content of the material about fundamental interactions in nature consistently in the form of several stages. First, the nature of all fundamental interactions, their general characteristics, comparative data on the magnitude of numerical values, manifestation of fundamental interactions (forces) in physics, astronomy, chemistry, etc. are considered. The next stage consists in determining the influence of the change in the numerical values of the world constants on the evolution of the universe. After that, modern theories are considered at a qualitative level, which try to combine all fundamental interactions into a single system (scientific picture of the world).
As a result of the conducted research, the possibilities of an integrative study of the material about fundamental interactions in nature and their quantum-statistical nature have been clarified. Their fundamentally opposite properties have been determined (long-range nature of gravitational and electromagnetic interactions and short-range – weak and strong), which in combination determine the structural unity and evolution of our universe, the possibility of the existence of a plurality of other universes, the property of inexhaustible «crushing» of matter into smaller and smaller particles, thereby confirming the dialectic of unity and the struggle of opposites.

Authors: Marchenko D.D. , Matvyeyeva K.S. 
Published: November 2023

The work scientifically substantiates the application of an effective technology for increasing the wear resistance of machine parts and tools due to complex diffusion saturation of the surface layer of parts made of iron-carbon alloys in the process of casting on gasified models based on the optimization of the composition of saturating mixtures and the establishment of patterns of structure formation.
The possibility of strengthening the surface of castings from cast iron SCH20 and steels of various composition (25L, 30L, 35L, 45L, 25HL, 110H13L), obtained by methods of casting in an open mold and on gasified models, has been established. It is shown that the diffusion boride layer on 35L steel, obtained during casting, has an order of magnitude greater thickness (up to 5 mm) compared to the diffusion layers obtained by chemical-thermal treatment methods (up to 0.25 mm). Analytical dependencies have been established that connect the components of the composition of the mixture (chromium boride (CrB2), boron carbide (B4C), graphite, bentonite, sodium fluoride (NaF)), which saturates, with wear resistance and the thickness of the diffusion layer after hardening in the process of obtaining a casting by the method of casting on gasified models.
A new composition of the saturating medium has been developed for surface strengthening in the production of cast parts from gray iron, carbon and alloy steels by simultaneous saturation with boron and chromium, containing chromium boride, boron carbide, graphite, bentonite, sodium fluoride (50-60 wt. % B4C + 20-25 wt. % CrB2 + 2-3 wt. % + 5-15 wt. % finely dispersed graphite + 5-7 wt. % bentonite). The application of the developed strengthening technology allows to improve operational properties, in particular, the wear resistance of machine parts and tools up to 25 times (compared to previously used methods), as well as to reduce the labor intensity of the strengthening process by up to 3.5 times.
Tests of dies for pressing wood waste into briquettes made of 45L steel, strengthened with the help of the developed technology, showed that their stability increases more than 4.5 times compared to the previously used ones made of HVH steel strengthened by carbonitriding, and the use of the developed strengthening technology allows reduce the cost of manufacturing this part by 1.5 times.

Published: November 2023

Background: Pectin exhibits different properties based on its degree of esterification, forming gels and serving as a structure-forming agent in food products, or forming complexes with heavy metal ions, finding applications in the development of therapeutic products for the elimination of heavy metal ions from the human body. Context and purpose of this study: The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of enzymatic treatment on the yield and quality of apple and carrot juices, as well as the quality parameters of pectin in pomace. Our objectives were to select an enzymatic preparation for processing apple and carrot pomace and to study changes in the properties of pectins present in the pomace depending on the dosage of the enzyme preparation.Results: The results of our experiments revealed that for apple pomace processing, it is more beneficial to use the enzyme preparation Vegazym M with a dosage of 0.09% of the pomace mass, while for carrot pomace processing, the enzyme preparation Fructozym MA with a dosage of 0.07% of the pomace mass proved to be the most suitable. These enzyme preparations in the specified amounts ensure maximum juice yield. It has been established that changing the dose of enzymes changes the complexing properties of pectin, which allows its use in food products with therapeutic and prophylactic properties.Conclusions: The enzyme preparations allow for specific modifications, such as pectin modification in this case, enabling the versatile use of pectin as either a structure-forming agent or for the development of therapeutic and preventive food products.Keywords:Apple and carrot juices, enzyme preparations, apple and carrot pomace, pectin, soluble and insoluble pectin, degree of esterification and pectin complexation, functional products.
