Purpose: Antibiotic-resistant bacterial pneumonia poses a significant therapeutic challenge. In China, Chinese herbal compound (CHC) is commonly used to treat bacterial pneumonia. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHC and identify core herb combinations for the treatment of multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia.Methods: Stata 16 and TSA 0.9.5.10 beta software were used for meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA), respectively. Exploring the sources of heterogeneity through meta-regression and subgroup analysis.Results: Thirty-eight studies involving 2890 patients were included in the analyses. Meta-analysis indicated that CHC combined with antibiotics improved the response rate (RR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.19–1.28; p &lt; 0.0001) and microbiological eradication (RR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.27–1.57; p &lt; 0.0001), lowered the white blood cell count (MD = −2.09; 95% CI: −2.65 to −1.53; p &lt; 0.0001), procalcitonin levels (MD = −0.49; 95% CI: −0.59 to −0.40; p &lt; 0.0001), C-reactive protein levels (MD = −11.80; 95% CI: −15.22 to −8.39; p &lt; 0.0001), Clinical Pulmonary Infection Scores (CPIS) (MD = −1.97; 95% CI: −2.68 to −1.26; p &lt; 0.0001), and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II score (MD = −4.08; 95% CI: −5.16 to −3.00; p &lt; 0.0001), shortened the length of hospitalization (MD = −4.79; 95% CI: −6.18 to −3.40; p &lt; 0.0001), and reduced the number of adverse events. TSA indicated that the response rate and microbiological eradication results were robust. Moreover, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Fritillaria thunbergii Miq, Lonicera japonica Thunb, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch were identified as core CHC prescription herbs.Conclusion: Compared with antibiotic treatment, CHC + antibiotic treatment was superior in improving response rate, microbiological eradication, inflammatory response, CPIS, and APACHE-II score and shortening the length of hospitalization. Association rule analysis identified four core herbs as promising candidates for treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial pneumonia. However, large-scale clinical studies are still required.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42023410587.

Authors: Wang Zhenguo , Chi Junpeng , Liu Yuhua , Wu Jitao , Cui Yuanshan , Yang Chenchen 
Published: December 2023

Background: Medical expulsive therapy demonstrates efficacy in managing ureteral stones in patients amenable to conservative interventions. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mirabegron in the treatment of ureteral stones.Methods: From conception to November 2023, we examined PubMed databases, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid, Scopus, and trial registries for this systematic review and meta-analysis. We chose relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of mirabegron as an expulsive treatment for ureteral stones. The Cochrane risk of bias method was used to assess the quality of the evidence. Outcome measures, which included the stone expulsion rate (SER), expulsion time, and pain episodes, were analyzed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.Results: Seven RCTs (N = 701) had enough information and were ultimately included. In patients with ureteral stones, mirabegron-treated patients had a substantially higher SER [odds ratio (OR) = 2.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.41–4.68, p = 0.002] than placebo-treated patients. Subgroup analysis revealed that mirabegron was superior to placebo in patients with small ureteral stones (OR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.05–4.87, p = 0.04), with no heterogeneity between studies (p = 0.54; I2 = 0%). Mirabegron patients had a higher SER than the control group for distal ureteral stones (DUSs) (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.31–4.68, p = 0.005). However, there was no difference in stone ejection time or pain episodes between groups.Conclusion: Mirabegron considerably improves SER in patients with ureteral stones, and the effect appears to be more pronounced for small and DUSs. Nevertheless, mirabegron treatment was not associated with improved stone expulsion time or pain management.
Common mental disorders in Gestalt therapy treatment: a multiple case study comparing patients with moderate and low integrated personality structures

Published: December 2023

IntroductionEmpowerment is central to self-development and growth in Gestalt therapy. The self evolves through interactions with others, forming self- and object-relations, and ego-functions. Underlying structural functions build the ability to regulate, differentiate, and integrate experiences, leading to self-, and emotion-regulation. Our study examined the self-development of seven clients with prevalent mental health issues and structural challenges, all of whom underwent 30 sessions of Gestalt therapy in a real-world individual therapy context.MethodsUsing a multiple case study approach, we contrasted two client groups: those with moderately integrated and those with low-integrated personality structures, as defined by the operationalised psychodynamic diagnostic manual. Our exploration centered on specific factors of empowerment, therapy processes, and interventions. The study's mixed-method design encompassed quantitative outcome measures (empowerment, wellbeing, psychosocial health, and severity of personality functioning), therapy diaries from both clients and therapists, and semi-structured client interviews about empowering factors in therapy.ResultsBoth groups showed positive therapy outcomes on wellbeing, psychosocial health, and empowerment. Specific empowerment-related factors included promoting experiences, relationships, and self-efficacy in the low-integrated group. Support of self-regulation was reported to be essential for successful outcomes in the moderately integrated group. While the therapy processes proceeded similarly in both groups, we observed a strong focus on body awareness-oriented interventions and promotion of verbalisation in the low-integrated group and a relationship-oriented emphasis in the moderately integrated group. Emotional experience linked to positive experience was limited in the low-integrated group, suggesting an impairment of emotional processing, including bodily felt feelings. No change was reported in the level of personality functioning after 30 sessions in both groups.DiscussionThese results underscore the need for tailored therapeutic approaches based on the client's level of personality integration. Future research should probe the long-term effects of therapy and delve deeper into shifts in personality functioning, especially concerning emotional and bodily experiences. In practical terms, therapists should prioritize linking bodily sensations with emotions for clients with low-integrated personalities. For those with moderate integration, the emphasis should be on fostering exploration, awareness, and bolstering self-regulation.
WHEN THE MEANS BECOMES THE END. SOME NON-OPPORTUNISTIC THOUGHTS ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITIES
Authors: Duda H. 
Published: December 2023

Political and social changes following the collapse of communism in the last quarter of the 20th century and the globalization that progressed in the early 21st century led to the need of rebuilding academic institutions. This has also initiated discussions about the condition of the University. In this article, the author, taking Fr. Jacek Woroniecki's article Pupil or book (first printing 1918) as a starting point, shows that the university is in a state of permanent crisis. Its source is alienation, i.e. a situation in which what is only a means becomes an end through the activities of people and institutions, "art for art's sake." Just as in the days of Fr. Woroniecki's activity writing scientific books became an end in itself, the shortest and surest way to achieve a professorship, so in our modern times the tools of the so-called parameterization of scientific achievements have become alienated. Reading Fr. Woroniecki's article inevitably leads to the conclusion that alienation creates pathologies in social life. However, in each era it manifests itself in a different way.
HRYHORII LEVCHENKO’S ARTISTIC AND PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY IN THE CONTEXT OF UKRAINIAN MUSIC TEACHER TRAINING DURING THE LAST QUARTER OF THE 20th – BEGINNING OF THE 21st CENTURY
Authors: Sulaieva N. 
Published: December 2023

The article highlights the analysis results of the artistic and pedagogical activity of the outstanding Ukrainian teacher, musician, folklorist, professor, Head of the Music Department, and leader of the Ukrainian folk choir “Kalyna” of Poltava V. G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University Hryhorii Levchenko.
The analysis has been carried out in the context of future music teacher training in Ukraine during the last quarter of the 20th - the beginning of the 21st century. It is emphasized that with his professional activity, H. Levchenko strengthened the process of providing education to students majoring in spatiality Secondary Education (Music Art) at the institution of higher pedagogical education.
Attention is focused on the fact that during the last quarter of the 20th century, the teacher created a classical university department of music with a skilled staff. It is emphasized that during total Russification in the 80s and 90s, teachers led by H. Levchenko managed to adhere to the position of training music teachers based on the best examples of Ukrainian musical heritage. It is indicated that at the end of the 80s of the 20th century, H. Levchenko founded the Ukrainian folk choir “Kalyna.” It became one of the leading student collectives of Ukraine during the last decade of the 20th and the beginning of the 21stcentury. It popularized the folk art of its native land on the territory of Europe. It is established that an essential component of student education during the specified historical period was the combination of formal artistic education with non-formal artistic education not only in the “Kalyna” choir but also in other artistic and creative groups. At the beginning of the 21st century, these groups became creative laboratories of the department. Even today, students undergo musical and performing practice in conducting and choral, vocal and performing, and choirmaster training there. It significantly strengthens their professional competence. It is emphasized that the most valuable thing in Professor H. Levchenko’s work for more than half a century of artistic and pedagogical activity is his ascetic work on the formation of a music teacher as a patriot of his country, capable of preserving and multiplying the musical heritage of our people and educating the young generation on the best examples of musical art of Ukraine.
AESTHETIC COMPETENCE OF APPLICANTS FOR HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION: STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL MODEL
Authors: Ruixue Z. 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to consider the pedagogical model of forming the aesthetic competence of future teachers by means of choreographic art, which combines structural analysis and functional modeling.
The pedagogical modeling of aesthetic competence of higher pedagogical education students by means of choreography is considered as structuring the educational process for analyzing and managing it in order to solve current problems with a systematic approach.
The proposed pedagogical model is a tool and conceptual framework that facilitates the understanding and explanation of the processes that occur during the formation of future teachers' aesthetic competence and reflects the effectiveness of the impact on their professional level.
The purpose of the pedagogical model of forming the aesthetic competence of future teachers by means of choreographic art is to prepare the teacher for effective influence on the personal development of students.
The result of the proposed model implementation is the achievement of a high level of development of the dynamic personal capacity of future teachers as carriers and creators of culture.
The model includes the following blocks: goal setting, basic, organizational, implementation, and reflective.
The structure of the pedagogical model reflects the interrelationships between the following elements: the purpose and result of the educational process; methodological approaches; pedagogical principles; stages, forms, methods, and techniques of teaching. The reflexive block of the model includes structural components, criteria for assessing levels of development, and diagnostic tools for analyzing the results of the formation of aesthetic competence of future teachers by means of choreographic art.
The presented structural-functional model reflects the organization of aesthetic training of future teachers as a system in which the systemic factor is the interconnection and interdependence between the goal and the result of the pedagogical process.

Authors: Bolshanina O. 
Published: December 2023

The article analyses the theoretical and methodological ideas of artists-pedagogues who emigrated abroad in the first half of the twentieth century. The works of such teachers as O. Arkhypenko, V. Hagenmeister, E. Kozak, S. Kolos, V. Lasovsky, K. Malevych, M. Samokysh, and V. Sichynskyi are analyzed. The fundamental ideas of the artists, which were highlighted in their theoretical works, are outlined. Several opinions are formulated regarding the purposes of writing these works and their role in developing art education within the studied period. The article summarises and generalizes the results of the analysis of the scientific and pedagogical potential of the works of migrant artists of the first half of the twentieth century and notes several distinctive aspects. The first aspect is that, broadly, the article was divided into theoretical works of historical and art historical content and methodological works. The second defined aspect is the works of artists and pedagogues who found themselves in exile and played an essential role in enriching and shaping the public opinion of other countries, which were influenced by Ukrainian artistic and peda-gogical ideas.
The author analyses the reflection of the level of Ukrainian art education in the first half of the twentieth century and describes its original nature, which Ukrainian emigrants proposed to various art educational institutions worldwide.
An opinion is formed on the work of Ukrainian artists-teachers (who were in emigration) in various vocational and higher art education institutions, who have created their Ukrainian community outside Ukraine, in different parts of the world, preserving the authenticity of teaching fine arts not only to Ukrainian students abroad but also to representatives of other countries of Europe and America.
The article provides recommendations on various areas of studying fine arts in higher and vocational education institutions and their use in modern theory and practice.

Tradurre o non tradurre le parole straniere
Authors: Trifone Maurizio 
Published: December 2023

In the early twentieth century, Gabriele D’Annunzio successfully proposed tramezzino instead of the English sandwich. Equally successful are some proposals formulated by Bruno Migliorini in the 1930s: autista and regista for the French chauffeur and régisseur. However, the original coinages of Arrigo Castellani in 1987 fail to take root: fubbia for smog, guardabimbi for babysitter, intredima for weekend, velopattino for windsurf, and vendistica for marketing. At the beginning of the 2000s, the volume by Giovanardi, Gualdo, and Coco Italian – English 1-1 reopened the debate among scholars. In 2015 the petition “Dillo in italiano”, launched by Annamaria Testa, achieved enormous success and demonstrated the intolerance of a large part of public opinion towards the massive influx of anglicisms. Following the petition, the Accademia della Crusca established the Incipit Group, a group of experts responsible for monitoring the entry of new anglicisms and suggesting possible Italian alternatives. In 2017, the Nuovo Devoto-Oli dictionary included in its lemmary the section Per dirlo in italiano, containing over 200 cards, that trace a brief history of as many English words or phrases that have penetrated Italian, explaining their meaning and context of use and suggesting a possible Italian equivalent. Il Nuovo Devoto-Oli broadly welcomes the most common anglicisms, helping those who do not know their precise meaning; but at the same time it has no reluctance to propose an Italian alternative, in the profound belief that such an approach is helpful to the reader and makes a positive contribution to the Italian language itself.

Metateatralne finały Ibsena
Authors: Partyga Ewa 
Published: December 2023

W artykule podjęta została próba interpretacji porównawczej finałów trzech sztuk Ibsena Rosmersholmu (1886), Heddy Gabler (1890) i Budowniczego Solnessa (1892). Metateatralne techniki wykorzystane przez autora w tych trzech scenach finałowych służą problematyzacji sytuacji nascenicznych widzów i widowni teatralnej oraz różnych strategii odbiorczych. Śmierć bohaterów dramatycznych zostaje ukazana w metateatralnej ramie skonstruowanej w każdym tekście trochę inaczej. Metateatralne zabiegi dopełniają się, by uwypuklić siłę percepcyjnych schematów, zademonstrować sposób ich działania, podsunąć możliwości ich podważenia. Ibsen nie stara się jednak uprzywilejować żadnej strategii odbioru, zachęcając w ten sposób widza, by wziął osobistą odpowiedzialność za sens tego, co widzi. We wszystkich omawianych sztukach scena teatru w teatrze staje się także miejscem egzystencjalnego powtórzenia. Dlatego do analizy i interpretacji wprowadzona została Kierkegaardowska koncepcja powtórzenia, która pozwala spojrzeć na teatr jako na miejsce potęgowania świadomości. Ibsenowskie motywy metateatralne wzmacniają tę funkcję teatru, a jednocześnie pomagają zrozumieć, że zarówno sens teatralnego dzieła czy wydarzenia, jak i proces jego odbioru są uwikłane w Kierkegaardowską dialektykę paradoksu.
Technology driven livestock farming for food security and sustainability
Authors: Pampori Zahoor , Sheikh Aasif 
Published: December 2023

Advent of industrialization increased the human population significantly and it expanded very rapidly from nineteen sixties. Introduction of mechanization, chemical fertilization and genetic selection in agriculture increased the food production, reduced pestilence and thus improved life expectancy. However, in doing so the natural resources were over utilized, degraded and polluted. The greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic activities increased several folds that resulted into global warming, the consequences of which are being observed in the form of floods, draughts, cloud bursts, melting of glaciers, rising of sea level and loss of species. The soil fertility & water table is decreasing, resistance to pesticides, drugs, antibiotics is increasing and immergence & reemergence of diseases are common. Since the world population by 2050 is anticipated to touch 9 billion that means an increase of 30%. Obviously, the demand for food to feed such a huge population would require 70% increase in the food. With limited resources, depleted soil, polluted atmosphere, disturbed ecosystems and exhausted natural resources, the challenges for food security have amplified. Urbanization, improved incomes and dietary changes will increase the demand for food of animal origin in coming years. Globally animal products provide 67% of the protein and the requirement for meat and milk by 2050 is expected to increase by 73% and 58% respectively. Therefore, to ensure food and nutritional security in coming years, livestock production has to be augmented efficiently, smartly and sustainably. As such, precision, smart livestock farming is inevitable that must integrate all the techniques, skills, knowledge and innovations to produce safe, sufficient, affordable, accessible and sustainable animal food with minimum environmental impacts. With the advancement in robotics, biosensors, artificial intelligence, internet of things and information technology, the farming practices should now be technology driven, smart, need based, automated, productive and integrated.
