Published: January 2024

Introduction. The article discusses the contribution of Aleksey A. Bobrovnikov, a scholar, teacher, and pioneer of Mongolian studies in Russia. He authored the Grammar of Kalmyk Mongolian which holds a special place in the variety of nineteenth-century textbooks, and still remains a classic in Mongolian linguistics. Goals. The study attempts an insight into how A. Bobrovnikov created his manual for theological institutions of the Russian Empire. Materials. The work focuses on documents contained in Collection 10 (‘Kazan Theological Academy’) of the National Archive of Tatarstan. Results. Our archival investigations have discovered a number of documents dealing with A. Bobrovnikov’s travel to Kalmyk Steppe (Astrakhan Governorate) when he was welcomed and stayed in estates owned by the Tundutovs and the Tyumens. His accounts of everyday life, traditions and customs, language patterns recorded from Dorbets and Khoshuts are of utmost interest to ethnographers and philologists. The manual’s publication was preceded by meticulous research efforts of the academic Mongolist. Kazan Theological Academy was educating Christian missionaries and facilitated a lot the study of not only customs and traditions but also languages of Mongolic, Turkic, and Finno-Ugric peoples, which would shape the foundations of academic Mongolian and Oriental studies in Russia. So, the missionaries’ contributions — including that of A. Bobrovnikov — are enormous and even invaluable, since (unlike professional Orientalists) the former would deal with living colloquial languages.

Introduction. The article examines some traditional ideas of venereal diseases traced in Mongolic cultures, reasons once believed to lie behind them, and treatment methods prescribed by folk and Tibetan medicine. Goals. The study attempts an analysis of medicinal knowledge and experiences used by Buryats and Mongolians to cure venereal diseases in the early twentieth century. Materials and methods. The work employs the comparative method and that of historical-comparative analysis. It focuses on archival collections of S. Baldaev, I. Manzhigeev, works of M. Khangalov and Ts. Jamtsarano for insights into shamanistic views and ideas pertaining to venereal diseases. The corpus of examined works on Tibetan medicine has been compiled from traditional Tibetan and Buryat-Mongolian guides to medicinal drugs and herbs — zhors. Results. The paper shows that despite mythological interpretations of venereal diseases as such did prevail, the Mongolic peoples were distinguished by a completely rational understanding of syndromes and course patterns characteristic of certain venereal diseases.

Introduction. In contact linguistics, the problem of differentiating between code switches and loanwords is relevant enough, which arises from that there are no unified research approaches thereto, and consequently nor there any precise definitions for the phenomena and classification criteria. The difficulties in distinguishing between the two linguistic processes result from that in intensive language contacts they tend to gain more similarities in terms of phonology, morphology and syntax — rather than differences. Some scholars argue that code-switching is the first stage in the development of a token in a matrix language, i.e. the lexemes had been code switches before they became ‘nuclear’ borrowings. The process of switching codes in speech is associated with the phenomenon of mass bilingualism. Goals. The problem of code-switching is understudied in Bashkir linguistics, and the paper attempts to distinguish the former from borrowings in the context of Bashkir-Russian bilingualism. Materials and methods. The study analyzes transcribed recordings of colloquial Bashkir (from speakers of Karaidel, a dialect of northwestern Bashkir) obtained during the author’s expeditions of 2022 and 2023. When it comes to describe code-switching, the workr employs Myers-Scotton’s Matrix Language Frame model. The article deals with intraphrasal switches in the form of inclusions and insular switches within one sentence. Results. The study identifies some difficulties of distinguishing between borrowings and code switches. According to G. Chirsheva, borrowings are divided into cultural and occasional (nuclear) ones. The latter are essentially and functionally close to code switches. K. Myers-Scotton presumes their main differences can be reduced to that code switches are used in individual cases (or no more than three times) and are not included in the mental lexicon of the matrix language. Therefore, barbarisms, such as еще / ищо, уже / ужы, вис, сәпсим, etc., which are often used in the speech of bilingual Bashkirs, must be referred to as occasional / nuclear borrowings (according to G. Chirsheva), while individual foreign-language inclusions be considered code switches.
An Improved FakeBERT for Fake News Detection
Authors: Ali Arshad , Gulzar Maryam 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn the present era of the internet and social media, the way of information dissemination has changed. However, due to rapid growth in the amount of news generated regularly and the unsupervised nature of social media, fake news turns out to be a big problem. Fake news can easily build a false positive or negative perception about a person, or an event. Fake news was also used as a tool by propagandists during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Thus, there is a need to use technology to tag fake news and prevent its dissemination. Previously, different algorithms were designed to detect fake news but without considering the semantic meaning and long sentence dependence. This research work proposes a new approach to the detection of fake news in the context of COVID-19. The suggested approach uses a combination of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) for extracting context meaning from sentences, SVM for pattern identification to detect fake news in a better way from the COVID-19 dataset, and an evolutionary algorithm called Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) to distribute text for Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification. The suggested approach improves accuracy by 5.2 % by removing a certain amount of ambiguity from sentences.

Authors: Mergová M. , Balažová A. , Mučaji P. , Bittner Fialová S. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
Mints (Mentha L., Lamiaceae) are medicinal plants frequently used in pharmacy, cosmetics, and food industry. Among the secondary metabolites found in mint, rosmarinic acid is one of the most abundant in the whole plant. Rosmarinic acid is known as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Aim
There is much information about the use and profile of secondary metabolites of mint's aerial parts. On the contrary, less is known about the secondary metabolites in the rhizomes. So, this research intended to determine the content of rosmarinic acid in the underground parts of 10 species of the genus Mentha, section Mentha.

Method
High-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was used to identify and determine rosmarinic acid.

Results
Rosmarinic acid was detected in all 10 species. The highest amount was found in Mentha × piperita L. “BULHARSKA 1” and Mentha rotundifolia (L.) Huds. The lowest content of rosmarinic acid was found in Mentha arvensis L., and a slightly higher content was measured in Mentha × piperita L.

Conclusion
The underground parts of mints seem to be an interesting source of natural antioxidants such as rosmarinic acid.

Abstract

Introductionː A strong connection between inflammation and obesity was repeatedly described, with the latter defined as a chronic low-degree systemic inflammatory state. This study analyzed the correlations between inflammatory blood indexes and both baseline anthropometric measurements and the weight–loss process after bariatric surgery.

Methodsː An observational study was conducted on patients with obesity admitted for metabolic surgery in a private and a public hospital. The primary endpoints were to establish correlations between baseline inflammatory ratios i.e. neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte to lymphocyte (MLR), monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MHR) ratios, systemic inflammatory index (SII) and anthropometric measurements. Secondary endpoints were to find out if these ratios measured at baseline are predictive factors for weight loss after bariatric surgery.

Results: In the present study, we included 191 patients, mean age 39.1±10,7 and mean BMI 42,2±6,5 kg/m2. There was a positive correlation between MHR and all anthropometric measurements taken at baseline; a direct correlation was also found for MLR in regards to initial weight and waist circumference. No statistical correlations were found between the above-mentioned indexes and the weight loss process (measured as a percentage of excess weight loss - %EWL) at different follow-up timeframes.

Conclusionsː Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) was positively associated with baseline anthropo-metric measurements in patients with obesity. The above-mentioned inflammatory ratios did not correlate with the weight loss process after bariatric surgery, thus they should not be used as predictors of good postoperative results.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objectives:To identify key genes common to lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis through WGCNA co-expression network and MCC algorithm analysis.

Methods: Initially, chip data related to lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis were obtained from the GEO database for data integration and differential analysis, leading to the identification of key differentially expressed genes. Subsequently, WGCNA was utilized to construct a co-expression network, identifying susceptible modules and core genes. Further, common core genes in lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis were identified through Venn diagrams, assessing their diagnostic accuracy in disease, analyzing differential expression, and constructing a co-expression network. Finally, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were conducted to understand the functions and pathway enrichment of these core genes, and potential target drugs were predicted.

Results: Six lung cancer-related and three rheumatoid arthritis-related gene co-expression modules were constructed using WGCNA. The Turquoise module was identified as the susceptible module for lung cancer, while the Blue module was for rheumatoid arthritis. A total of 953 genes were included in the lung cancer hub genes, and 152 in the rheumatoid arthritis hub genes. Finally, 92 potential target drugs were predicted through the DGIdb database that may regulate the expression of 11 common hub genes.

Conclusion: We identified 24 common hub genes for lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, with the top 6 ranked by the MCC algorithm being FGR, SLA, GZMH, CSF2RB, PRF1, and CCRL2. This study paves the way for further exploration of the common pathogenesis of lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. However, further in vivo and in vitro experiments are required for validation and support.
The Correlation Between the Principal’s Leadership Style and the Commitment of Teachers in Arab Schools in Israel
Authors: Hiba Khadija 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The present study examines the influence of the principal’s leadership style on the teachers’ commitment. The research question is: What is the correlation between the school principal’s leadership style and teachers’ sense of commitment? The research population is from The Triangle, a concentration of Israeli Arab towns and villages adjacent to the Green Line. The settlements are home to approximately 300,000 Arab citizens of Israel, representing about 24%% of Israel’s Palestinian Arab population who are Muslim. 352 teachers participated in the study, of which 275 were women (78.1%), and 77 were men (21.9%), most of them in the age range of 35-55. The teachers teach in middle schools and high schools. The research tools used in the study include two questionnaires: 1) Multi-factor Leadership Questionnaire – MLQ by Bass and Avolio [1990], which includes 36 items that measure nine leadership styles indices. 20 items examine transformational leadership, 12 items examine transactional leadership, and 4 items examine Laissez-faire leadership. 2) The Allen and Meyer [199] commitment to school questionnaire. The questionnaire includes 16 items, 8 first items examine affective commitment to the organization and 8 last items examine continuing commitment to the organization. The scale is between 1 and 4. Hypothesis H1 was confirmed, the study findings showed that there are positive relationships of moderate and significant strengths between all leadership indicators and commitment indicators while high levels of leadership (transformational, transactional and laissez-faire) the teacher reported about his principal, are associated with high levels of affective and continuance commitment. In addition, it was found that the relationship between transactional leadership and affective commitment is (slightly) stronger than the relationship between transformational leadership and affective commitment.

Authors: Pattanayak Kalee Prasanna , Mallik Brijlal , Tripathy Sudhakar , Rao S. Kameswar , Padhy Chitrasena 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study focuses on analysing the cost and returns associated with cashew cultivation with the aim of showcasing its profitability for small scale and large-scale farmers. Additionally, the research explores the perspectives of farmers on factors affecting cashew cultivation, such as profitability, incentives, support systems, soil quality, climate conditions, and related aspects.

Method/design/approach: The researchers collected primary data from 220 cashew nut farmers and employed techniques like regression analysis, percentile analysis, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test to evaluate the collected data.

Results and Conclusion: The results indicated that large-scale farmers enjoy advantages in terms of productivity and profitability compared to small farmers. There is a direct correlation between the size of a farm and its productivity. However, large farmers face higher costs for cultivation in contrast to small farmers. Farmers generally hold a positive view about the profitability, incentives, and support provided for cashew cultivation. However, they express concerns about the crop’s adaptability to different climates and soil conditions.

Originality/value: The study contributes by highlighting that large scale farmers have an advantage in terms of productivity and profitability. It indicates the need for better policy formation in favour of small-scale farmers by allocating them additional land through appropriate amendments.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

The coral rocks on Mount Taeno, Waringin Cap Village, Ambon, have the potential to be used as a filler for asphalt mixtures. In this research, an analysis of the use of filler material, which comes from Mount Taeno coral rocks, was carried out on the Marshall characteristics of asphalt mixtures, with a type of Asphalt Concrete-Binder Course. Asphalt mixtures are made with different asphalt contents, namely 5.0%; 5.5%; and 6.0%, and the filler content given to each mixture is 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3%. Evaluation was carried out on these mixtures using the 2018 General Specifications of the Bina Marga. This research shows that the asphalt content of the mixture influences the value of the optimum filler content added to the mixture. The higher the mixed asphalt content, the higher the optimum filler content that can be added. The optimum filler content for mixtures with asphalt content of 5.0%, 5.5%, and 6.0% is 1.30%, 1.58%, and 1.79%, respectively. The asphalt content in the Asphalt Concrete-Binder Course observed in this study was limited to only 5.0%, 5.5%, and 6.0%. Therefore, further studies are recommended to be carried out, on mixtures with asphalt content higher than 6.0%, with variations in filler content greater than 3.0%. Keywords: asphalt mixture; Marshall characteristics; filler; optimum filler content

Authors: Pozo Narváez William Nicolás 
Published: January 2024

Introducción: Los trastornos mentales son de tratamiento y control complejo, y pueden originarse por distintos factores, entre estos la dieta. Actualmente, dentro de la dieta de las personas se encuentra la comida ultraprocesada por su alto contenido energético, fácil acceso y estímulo placentero. El objetivo de la presente revisión es conocer la asociación entre la progresión de los síntomas de los pacientes diagnosticados con depresión leve hacia el diagnóstico de depresión moderada o grave debido al excesivo consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados.
Metodología: En el presente artículo se realizó una revisión de alcance basada en la propuesta metodológica de Kasaju, et al., haciendo el uso de bases de datos como PubMed y Embase para la identificación de literatura relevante.
Resultados: Se encontró un total de 4 artículos en los que se evidenció una relación directa y bidireccional de la ingesta de alimentos ultraprocesados y el desarrollo de síntomas depresivos, según Bayes, J., et al, existe un bajo consumo de falimentos sanos, pero un alto de procesados en personas diagnosticadas con depresión, a diferencia de controles sanos (p<0.015) (Bayes et al., 2020). Se logran detectar la aparición de síntomas como el estrés y la ansiedad, relacionados directamente a depresión mayor, seguidos de la depresión en el paciente, asociados al alta ingesta de alimentos ultraprocesados en comparación con controles sanos (p<0.0001) (Lane et al., 2022a).
Conclusión: La exposición a la ingesta de comida procesada en se asocia de manera directa a la evolución de trastornos mentales como depresión.
