INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ ENGLISH TRAINING ON ENTRY TO HEI IN GREAT BRITAIN
Authors: Svyrydiuk Olha 
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the content of international students' language education on entry to a higher education institution in Great Britain, using the example of the LSI / IH Portsmouth language center. It is emphasized that Great Britain ranks third in the world after the USA and Australia in terms of the number of international students studying in higher education institutions. Statistical data on the increased number of international students in the higher education institutions of Great Britain are described and the countries of origin of international students are indicated in percentage terms. It is emphasized that the rating of a particular university largely depends on the number of international students who have chosen this institution for study. The author notes that a high level of English is a requirement not only of universities, but primarily of the Home Office, the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The requirements of the Home Office in accordance with the level of English language proficiency of international students regarding the submission of documents for a visa to study at the Higher Education Institutions of Great Britain are outlined. The author draws attention to the discrepancies between the threshold score indicated by the Home Office and the IELTS consortium, which allows admission to the university for academic programs. Describes the work of LSI / IH Portsmouth Language Centre, which offers both face-to-face English classes in Portsmouth and online English classes for all levels from beginner to advanced, for a variety of academic and professional needs.

Published: December 2023

У статті проаналізовано роль, яку відіграла для процесу лібералізації становлення центральної влади у Туреччині до задоволення потреб комплексу соціально-економічних, суспільно-політичних і культурно-освітніх запитів курдського населення AKP, створеної в 2001 році, яка стала помірно консервативною партією, орієнтованою на західні цінності, зокрема такі як ринкова економіка, а також інтеграція до ЄС.
Також автором зауважено, що «курдське питання», якому було приділено увагу в розділі під двозначною назвою «Південь-Схід», AKP наголошувала, що так само, як і інші колишні основні партії, сприймає курдське питання через призму терору. Тим не менш, AKP також визнала, що курдське питання не може бути вирішено політикою минулого, а економічний розвиток сам по собі не створював достатньо гарантій для вирішення курдської проблеми.
Ключові слова: Партія справедливості та розвитку (AKP), Турецький (Північний) Курдистан, «курдське питання», Робітнича партія Курдистану (РПК), Європейський союз (ЄС).
МИТРОПОЛИТ ВАСИЛЬ ЛИПКІВСЬКИЙ: ТРАЄКТОРІЯ ЖИТТЄВОГО ШЛЯХУ
Authors: Киридон Алла , Преловська Ірина 
Published: December 2023

У 2024 р. виповнюється 160 років від дня народження мирополита Василя Липківськог – українського церковного, який стояв на чолі духовного поступу українства за автокефалію. У радянський час ім’я Василя Липківського через ідеологічні й політичні причини було заборонено. В умовах незалежної України змінюється оцінний дискурс: після тривалих років повного забуття постать і подвижницька діяльність митрополита заслуговує на гідне вшанування нащадками. Автори статті прагнули привернути увагу широкої спільноти до постаті митрополита Василя Липківського – однієї з центральних постатей релігійно-церковного життя і церковної історії України ХХ ст. З його іменем пов’язаний початок інституційної боротьби за автокефалію (канонічну незалежність) Православної церкви в Україні від Московського Патріархату. Він стояв біля витоків творення Української автокефальної православної церкви (УАПЦ), сприяв зростанню її лав, самовіддано служив на ниві духовного відродження українського народу і віддав за становлення української церкви своє життя. У сучасних умовах російсько-українскої війни актуалізується патріотична церковна позиція митрополита Василя Липківського, який страдницькою смертю утвердив своє бачення майбутнього Української Церкви ‑ її помісність та укоріненість в українську традицію та культуру.

Peculiarities of Europeana Metadata as a Set of Information for Describing Digital Cultural Heritage
Authors: Vovk N. 
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the research. European integration is the main and unchanging foreign policy priority of Ukraine. Further development and deepening of relations between Ukraine and the EU are the main direction of its development. A new stage in the development of EU-Ukraine treaty relations, which began with Ukraine’s accession to the EU candidate status in June 2022, requires further raising awareness of Ukraine’s European integration among all members of society. Libraries can contribute to the formation of objective motivations among the population by understanding the practical benefits of cooperation with the EU. One of the ways of such integration for Ukrainian libraries is to become part of the European library network.
The purpose of research is to identify the features of Europeana metadata for further digitization of library collections in Ukraine in order to preserve cultural heritage.
The methodology. To achieve this goal, theoretical and general scientific research methods, such as analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction, were used. The data visualization method and the method of generalization were used to present the Europeana data models.
The results. The article defines the types of the Europeana operational model, provides a general overview of the classes defined in the Europeana data model and the process of interaction between Europeana data and wikidata.
The scientific topicality. The article summarizes previous, primarily foreign, research on the peculiarities of the development of the Europeana funds. The article presents the data models of the Europeana that function to fill the web portal.
The practical significance. The results of the research are presented in the form of Europeana data models and the definition of Europeana metadata types (descriptive, structural, administrative, markup language).
The conclusion. The current operating model of Europeana uses the Open Archives Initiative’s Metadata Collection Protocol (OAI-PMH) and the Europeana Data Model (EDM) to import data through Metis, Europeana’s data collection and aggregation service. However, OAI-PMH is an outdated technology that is not web-oriented, resulting in high maintenance costs, especially for smaller institutions. Metadata can be divided into several categories, or types, for different data management purposes. Traditional library cataloging focuses, for example, on the identification and description of resources, but there are obviously other types of metadata that carry valuable information (structural, administrative, markup language).

Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis and formation of effective strategies in the field of construction and planning of rental housing for young families. The emphasis of the work is on studying the features of urban infrastructure, taking into account the needs of young people in comfortable and functional spaces, as well as considering practical examples and innovative approaches in the field of housing construction. The research aims to determine optimal housing models for young families that meet modern living standards and contribute to the sustainable development of the city. The formation of construction and planning solutions for rental housing for young families has a multifaceted nature. Taking into account their needs, ensuring functionality, environmental friendliness, manufacturability and social adaptation become the key directions of the development of modern residential construction. The conducted studies emphasize that: "the dissatisfaction of young families with their housing conditions is associated with the following factors: the high cost of renting housing; living with parents or other relatives; small living space; poor technical characteristics of housing. Providing young families with the opportunity to have quality, affordable and functional housing is an important step in creating a stable and healthy society. Taking into account the needs of young families, rational housing should be designed using all energy-saving technologies. So that the purchase of such housing and its further operation corresponded to the family budget.
It was established that the development of rental houses in Ukraine is impossible without the participation of private investors, for whom their construction will be profitable only if the state provides preferential conditions for construction. The results of the work can be used as a basis for the development of city strategies and programs aimed at improving living conditions for young people and the overall development of the city.

Published: December 2023

Background: The purpose of this research was to determine histomorphometric changes in busulfan-induced azoospermia after transplantation of AdSCs in guinea pig. AdSCs were isolated from adipose tissue around the testes of guinea pigs and characterized for mesenchymal properties.
Materials and Methods: Guinea pigs were allocated into three groups, including the control group without any intervention. To induce azoospermia, groups 2 and 3 received a dose of 40 mg/kg of busulfan with 21 days interval. Group 3 received 1Ã—106 AdSCs in their seminiferous tubules of left testes, 35 days following last busulfan injection, while right testis in the group was considered for comparison as controls. Sixty days following transplantation of cell, histomorphometric and histopathologic changes of the experiments were assessed.
Results: After AdSCsâ€™ transplantation, normal spermatogenesis appearance was noticed compared to busulfan-induced azoospermia and AdSCs recovered spermatogenesis, and our findings can be added to the literature in treating azoospermic infertilities.
Conclusion: The transplanted AdSCs could induce production of germinal cells using testicular seminiferous tubules and were an effective source in treating azoospermia.[GMJ.2018;7:e1000]

Authors: Hashemi Mehrdad , Samadian Nooshin 
Published: December 2023

Background: Diet plays an important role in cancer prevention. Apigenin, a flavonoid with thechemical formula C15H10O5, is abundantly present in vegetables. Vegetarian foods containing flavonoids are rich sources of bioactive compounds. Flavonoids have been utilized in herbal treatment. Nanogels are drug delivery systems based on polymers and are used in tissue engineering and for drug delivery. This study was conducted to compare the effects of apigenin and a nanodrug on the viability of the K562 cell line of chronic myeloid leukemia at different durations under laboratory conditions. Materials and Methods: Chitosan was first dissolved in 1% acetic acid, andÂ ethylene dichloride EDC and NHS were added to the solution. Then, the nanodrug was prepared by loading apigenin into stearateâ€“chitosan nanogel (scs nanogel), and its physical and morphological characteristics were evaluated by TEM, DLS, and FTIR. Trypan blue staining, MTT assay, and flow cytometry were used to analyze the effects of various concentrations of apigenin and apigenin-loaded chitosanâ€“stearate nanogel (APGâ€“SCS) at 24, 48, and 72 h after they were applied to the K562 cell line. Results: The diameter of the nanodrug particles was measured using DLS and confirmed by TEM. The K562 cells treated with APGâ€“SCS and with apigenin exhibited significant differences compared with the control (P < 0.05). Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Conclusion: This study showed that the toxic effects of apigenin and the nanodrug improved with increasing concentrations and exposure durations compared to those in the control.The toxic effect of apigenin loaded into the stearate-chitosan nanogel was greater than apigenin, and the toxic effects of both materials were greater compared to the control under laboratory conditions.[GMJ.2018;7:e1008]

Authors: Bagheri Sina , Dormanesh Banafshe , Afarid Mehrdad , Sagheb Mohammad Mahdi 
Published: December 2023

Background: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is one of the most important microvascular complications among the patients with diabetes. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agent enacts a key role in PDR. Some studies have dealt with the systemic exposure to these agents after intravitreal administration. However, renal dysfunction following this therapy has scarcely been reported. Hence, this study aimed to determine the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab treatment on the deterioration of renal function and proteinuria.
Materials and Methods: This present prospective observational study was performed on 40 patients with diabetic nephropathy and PDR and/or significant diabetic macular edema as the candidates for receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab. To evaluate renal function, changes in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), serum creatinine (SCr), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) one month after injection were measured. Also, changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BPs), plasma VEGF level, platelet, white blood cell (WBC) counts, and hemoglobin (Hb) level were measured at the baseline and one month after treatment.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 60.3 Â± 9.2 years, and 33 patients were female. The decrease in the plasma VEGF level and platelet count, as well as the increase in diastolic BP, and Hb level were significant. However, systolic BP and WBC count remained unchanged. There were no significant changes in UACR, SCr, and eGFR after the injection as compared to baseline (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Our study indicated that intravitreal bevacizumab injection was not associated with renal dysfunction and proteinuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Nevertheless, diastolic BP and Hb level could increase after one month. [GMJ.2018;In press:e1299]
Exercise and Atrial Fibrillation: Some Good News and Some Bad News
Authors: Sepehri Shamloo Alireza , Arya Arash , Dagres Nikolas , Hindricks Gerhard 
Published: December 2023

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered as the most common sustained arrhythmia in adults, whose incidence rate is on the rise due to the increase in the mean age of the global population. In recent years, many efforts have been made to identify effective factors in the incidence of AF to prevent them and thereby reduce the consequences of AF. Physical activity is one of the topics that attracted much attention in the last two decades. According to some findings, extreme and prolonged exercise itself can be considered as a risk factor for the onset of AF; however, other studies have shown that exercise can be regarded a protective factor against AF in the general population. The present study reviews the findings of studies on the relationship between AF and exercise and discusses possible mechanisms for this relationship. Additionally, we present some recommendations for researchers and physicians about exercise management in association with AF prevention.Â [GMJ.2018;7:e1401]Â
