Authors: Al-Dweik Ghadeer , Momani Aaliyah , Al Zaghmouri Abeer , Al-Yateem Nabeel , AbuRuz Mohannad Eid 
Published: April 2023

Objectives:
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all courses shifted to online teaching. This paper aimed to estimate the impact of online vs. face-to-face course delivery on students' Grade Point Average (GPA) and to find if there is any difference in students' GPA based on selected sociodemographic characteristics.

Methods:
A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 3445 students enrolled in all faculties were included. Paired t-test, independent t, and ANOVA were used to answer research questions.

Results:
The online GPA was significantly higher than face-to-face GPAs among the total study population. The online GPAs for female students, students in middle years, and those from mainly theoretical fields or faculties were significantly higher than face-to-face GPAs.

Conclusion:
This study found that online instruction improved the academic performance of some students at certain phases. Online teaching benefited female students, colleges offering largely theoretical knowledge (law, Islamic studies, social studies), and middle-year students. Health and medical faculties were less suited for entirely online instruction. This study proposes online teaching as a valid and effective teaching method equivalent to face-to-face teaching methods under specific criteria: Entirely in theoretical disciplines or as part of programs as standing modules in practical fields, Female and middle-years students, especially those taking theoretical courses. The study also recommends that online teaching is a valid possibility amid extreme weather, health, natural, or political situations. Finally, online teaching should be implemented continuously to prepare staff and students for the application of online teaching during emergencies.
Acceptability and Uptake of HIV Self-screening among Educators at High Schools in Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Authors: Mkhize N , Mmmampedi Huma , MM Mokgatle , Oguntibeju O 
Published: April 2023

Background:
The estimated overall HIV prevalence rate in South Africa was approximately 12.6% in 2017. Knowledge of one’s HIV status is an entry point to care and treatment services. The utilisation of HIV testing and counselling services in South Africa remains low, with issues such as limited privacy and long queues cited as barriers to the uptake of these services. This study was conducted to determine the acceptability and uptake of HIV self-testing among educators at high schools in Pretoria, Gauteng Province.

Methods:
The study employed a cross-sectional quantitative research design involving the completion of a self-administered structured questionnaire. Data were collected from
333 educators working in 26 different high schools under provincial departments of education in Tshwane. Data collected were analysed using STATA Software version 13.0.

Results:
A proportion of (55%; n=182) of the participants were aware of the HIV self-testing method. Most of the participants (70%; n=232) indicated that they would personally use HIV self-testing to know their HIV status, citing confidentiality as the main benefit associated with this method. However, only (12%; n=35) had ever tested for HIV using HIVST. Being married was found to be 0.3 times less likely to influence the willingness to use HIVST (P<0.001), while having ever tested for HIV was found to be 3 times more likely to influence the acceptability of HIVST (P<0.01). Adults (older than 35 years) were found to be 0.37 less likely to use HIVST (P<0.001).

Conclusion:
Despite the high acceptability of HIVST, its uptake was very low among the participants. There was a significant association between acceptability and age, marital status, and the history of testing for HIV. More studies on HIVST among professionals in the educational sector should be conducted for the evidence-based implementation of this testing modality.
Prevalence of Suicidal Behavioural Experiences in the University: Implications for Childhood Development
Authors: Ede Moses Onyemaechi , Okeke Chinedu Ifedi 
Published: April 2023

Introduction:
This study surveyed the prevalence of suicidal behavior in a higher education setting. Two particular purposes, two research questions, and two null hypotheses were used to steer this study in order to achieve the objectives. This descriptive design made use of the University of Nigeria Nsukka's student demographics.

Methods:
A total of 100 students made up the study's sample. To obtain the sample, an unintentional sampling method was employed. For this study, a self-created questionnaire called the Suicidal Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ) was utilized. The data collected was analyzed using mean and percentages.

Results:
The findings indicated that university students do not engage in suicide behavior. Additionally, it demonstrated the rarity of suicide thoughts. Gender has no discernible effect on the replies of male and female tertiary institution students based on their encounters with suicidal behavior. The mean replies of male and female tertiary institution students on the occurrence of suicide events show no discernible gender-based differences.

Conclusion:
According to the findings, it is advised that suicide education and prevention be taught in schools and that guidance counselors post bulletins on suicidology.
Determinants of Intention and COVID-19 Preventive Behaviors among the Urban Population: The Use of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
Authors: Ghorbanzadeh Sima , Maheri Mina , Khalkhali Hamid Reza , Didarloo Alireza 
Published: April 2023

Background and Purpose:
COVID-19 is a new viral disease that has led to a pandemic due to its high infectivity. Since many people do not have access to available vaccines, preventive behavior is the only way to fight the disease. Despite the great emphasis on preventive behaviors, many people do not follow them so the etiology of this issue seems necessary; hence, the present study aimed to determine the predictors of intention and COVID-19 preventive behaviors using the theory of planned behavior.

Materials and Methods:
The present study was descriptive-analytical and was conducted among individuals over 18 years of age living in Urmia. Samples were selected by snowball and convenience sampling. Data were collected using a valid and reliable electronic researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 4 sections (demographic characteristics, questions about knowledge, questions about constructs of the theory of planned behavior, and questions about COVID-19 preventive behaviors), and they were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods.

Results:
The results indicated a positive and statistically significant correlation between the COVID-19 preventive behaviors and constructs, namely the attitude (p < 0.001, r = 0.65), subjective norms (p < 0.001, r = 0.67), perceived behavioral control (p < 0.001, r = 0.72), and behavioral intention (p < 0.001, r = 0.76). Based on regression analyses, the constructs of the theory of planned behavior predicted a total of 65% of the variance of COVID-19 preventive behaviors and 73% of the variance of behavioral intention. Among the constructs, behavioral intention (p < 0.001, β = 0.393) was the strongest predictor of behavior, and perceived behavioral control (p < 0.001, β = 0.546) was the strongest predictor of behavioral intention.

Conclusion:
The research results indicated the efficiency of the theory of planned behavior in predicting COVID-19 preventive behaviors; hence, the theory and its effective constructs, especially behavioral intention, can be utilized in the development of educational programs and interventions to change the citizens' behavior towards COVID-19.
Low-carbon Economic Assessment of Microgrid based on EC-AHP and
Triangular Fuzzy Number
Authors: Wang Honggang , Wang Minnan , Chen Anqing , Yu Yangqi , Xiao Ge 
Published: April 2023

Aim:
With the in-depth study of microgrid system planning and operation strategy,
comprehensive management and effective evaluation of various planning schemes and implementation effects are required.

Introduction:
A comprehensive evaluation method based on the elasticity coefficient analytic
hierarchy process (EC-AHP) and triangle fuzzy number is proposed. Meanwhile, considering the
changes in the internal and external environment of the system, a comprehensive evaluation index
system for a microgrid with the coordinated operation of "source-grid-load-storage" is constructed
combined with the existing microgrid planning and operation evaluation index system.

Methods:
The EC-AHP method avoids the limitation of using the "1-9" scaling method to determine the judgment matrix in the traditional AHP method, and uses the elasticity coefficient to
reflect the degree of influence of the index changes on the expert's score, which reflects the importance of the index for the evaluation result. Introducing triangular fuzzy numbers to the evaluation of microgrid planning and operation can provide a comprehensive linguistic rating for
evaluation indexes and systems

Results:
Through applying the constructed evaluation index system and evaluation method to
the calculation example of a regional microgrid, the pros and cons of various evaluation indexes
of the microgrid and the weak links in the planning and operation process are obtained.

Conclusion:
The results show that the index system and evaluation method constructed in this
paper can provide a basis for the improvement of microgrid planning and operation strategies,
which can then be applied to the general management of the microgrid system.
The Immunoadsorption Effect of Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Refractory Septic Shock, Ventilator-associated Pneumonia, and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Following Severe Pulmonary Contusions
Authors: Mostafa Allam Mohamed Gaber Ibrahim 
Published: April 2023

Background:
The utilization of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for immunoadsorption has proven efficacious in reducing mortality rates among neonatal and pediatric patients afflicted with severe sepsis and septic shock. However, the effectiveness of this treatment in adult patients with septic shock remains controversial.

Objective:
This study was designed to assess the potential of VA-ECMO as an immunoadsorption therapy in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of VA-ECMO in improving clinical outcomes, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), weaning from mechanical ventilation, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and mortality rates in patients with concurrent severe pulmonary contusions, septic shock, and respiratory failure resulting from ARDS and VAP.

Methods:
This study enrolled a cohort of 100 adult patients with severe pulmonary contusions resulting in persistent respiratory failure despite ten days of mechanical ventilation. These patients subsequently developed severe sepsis, VAP with ARDS presentation, and high Murray score (>3 points), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (> 12 points), and Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) (> 6 points). The patients were then divided into two groups: group A (n = 50) received conventional management, while group B (n = 50) underwent VA-ECMO. Moreover, the outcomes, including improvement in ARDS and VAP, successful weaning from mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, improvement of one or all parameters of Murray, SOFA, and CPIS scores, morbidity rate, and mortality rate were compared between the two groups and recorded after 14 days of treatment.

Results:
This study revealed that patients in group B showed significant improvement in Murray, SOFA, and CPIS scores. Furthermore, a large percentage of patients in group B were successfully weaned from both inotropic support and mechanical ventilation and were discharged from ICU. However, no significant difference in the mortality rate was observed between the two groups.

Conclusion:
VA-ECMO notably impedes the progression of sepsis, shortens ICU stay, and expedites the weaning from inotropic support and mechanical ventilation. However, it has no impact on the mortality rate of adult patients with septic shock.
Mobile Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Bipolar Disorder: Microrandomized Trial
Authors: Cochran Amy , Maronge Jacob M , Victory Amanda , Hoel Sydney , McInnis Melvin G , Thomas Emily BK 
Published: April 2023

Background
Mobile interventions promise to fill in gaps in care with their broad reach and flexible delivery.

Objective
Our goal was to investigate delivery of a mobile version of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for individuals with bipolar disorder (BP).

Methods
Individuals with BP (n=30) participated in a 6-week microrandomized trial. Twice daily, participants logged symptoms in the app and were repeatedly randomized (or not) to receive an ACT intervention. Self-reported behavior and mood were measured as the energy devoted to moving toward valued domains or away from difficult emotions and with depressive d and manic m scores from the digital survey of mood in BP survey (digiBP).

Results
Participants completed an average of 66% of in-app assessments. Interventions did not significantly impact the average toward energy or away energy but did significantly increase the average manic score m (P=.008) and depressive score d (P=.02). This was driven by increased fidgeting and irritability and interventions focused on increasing awareness of internal experiences.

Conclusions
The findings of the study do not support a larger study on the mobile ACT in BP but have significant implications for future studies seeking mobile therapy for individuals with BP.

О некоторых редких и малоизвестных военных терминах в монгольских летописях XVII в.
Authors:   Institute for Linguistic Studies of the RAS (9, Tuchkov St., 199053 St. Petersburg, Russian Federation), Rykin Pavel O. 
Published: April 2023

Goals. The study attempts etymological analyses of several rare military terms attested in 17th-century Mongol chronicles. The following terms are specifically touched upon in the article: aγuraγ ~ aγuruγ ‘base camp’, bayirildu- ‘to battle each other, fight a battle’, bulγaldu- ‘to fight each other or together’, čaγuraγul- ‘to send on a military campaign’, ide- ‘to capture and plunder (a city)’, nengde- ‘to attack unexpectedly’, niγtarqa- ‘to be in close order’, toyin ‘(military) camp’. All these terms are either totally unattested in the dictionaries of written Mongolian, or used with unique or rare meanings in sources, and reflect important features of military structure in the era of the Mongol Empire. Materials and methods. The paper analyzes three Mongol chronicles of the 17th century, namely: Quriyangγui Altan tobči ‘Brief Golden Summary’ (ca. 1604 to 1634, or mid-to-late 17th century), Erdeni tunumal neretü sudur ‘The Jewel Translucent Sūtra’ (ca. 1607), and Altan tobči ‘Golden Summary’ by Blo-bzaṅ bstan-’jin (ca. 1651 to 1655, or late 17th – early 18th century). The work employs a number of research methods inherent to comparative-historical linguistics and textology. Results. The article presumes the Mongol Empire’s military structure still remained more or less efficient — with some modifications — when the examined Mongol chronicles were being compiled, but completely lost its relevance in subsequent times. In view of this, only a small number of medieval military terms have survived in modern Mongolic languages, sometimes greatly changed in meaning (aγuraγ ~ aγuruγ), used only as obsolete forms (bulγa/bulγaldu-) or bound morphemes (ča’ur). Conclusions. The paper suggests some of the terms are of foreign origin and bear obvious traces of the intensive areal contacts between Mongolic and neighboring languages, notably Turkic (aγuraγ ~ aγuruγ, bulγa(-), toyi/n), Tungusic (nen(g)de-), and Khitan (ča’ur) ones. Some are attested as hapax legomena in individual chronicles (bayirildu-, čaγuraγul-, niγtarqa-), while others articulate highly specific meanings that have no parallels in our sources, and thus either correspond to the semantics of the donor forms (toyi/n) or possibly reflect the influence of local dialects of that time (ide-).

Introduction. Russian writers quite actively use pragmatic markers (PM) to create a speech portrait of a particular character. At the same time, studies have shown that Russian PMs are characterized by increased syntagmatic activity and tend to appear in text not alone but in ‘company’ with other similar units. Goals. The study seeks to analyze the methods employed to translate PM chains contained in Russian literary texts into Chinese — through the example of the markers eto, eto samoe and kak yego (yeyo, ikh). Materials and methods. The paper analyzes a total of 19 contexts from 8 Russian fiction works included in the main subcorpus of the National Russian Corpus — and their Chinese translations. The work employs purposeful sampling, as well as contextual, comparative and discursive types of analysis. Results. The study shows that the Russian eto samoe has no absolute Chinese equivalent in terms of form and function, which presents big challenges for translators. Only few of the latter were able to translate eto samoe using the Chinese counterparts 这个 zhe ge or 那个 na ge. Structural variants of the Russian pragmatic markers eto and kak yego (yeyo, ikh) are often found both in literary texts and Russian oral (live) speech. Translators easily associate the pragmatic marker kak yego (yeyo, ikh) with the full-value expression kak yego (yeyo, ikh) zovut/nazyvajut performing the same search-hesitation function, and the pragmatic marker eto with its Chinese counterparts 这个 zhe ge or 那个 na ge. As a result, when it comes to translate PM chains with the components kak yego (yeyo, ikh) and eto, functional equivalence is achieved much easier than in case of PM chains with the component eto samoe. Conclusions. The ability of pragmatic markers to ‘attract’ to each other further complicates both the procedure of their identification in a text and their translation into other languages.
Специфика ориенталистских мотивов в творчестве Павла Васильева — поэта азиатского фронтира

Russian Orientalism is distinguished by its territorial proximity to Asian countries and the shaping of Russia-Asia frontier in bordering areas where peoples blended and cultures synthesized to form a multicultural environment. Goals. The study aims to identify the specifics of Orientalist motifs in works of the Soviet Russian poet Pavel Nikolaevich Vasiliev. Materials and methods. The paper analyzes works of P. Vasiliev with the aid of the historical/literary and comparative methods. The methodology is based on theses of Orientalism and transcultural literature. Results. The literary mainstream of that time was implementing the trend toward a class orientation with the dichotomy of US — the proletariat, the poor, and THEM — kulaks, merchants, aristocrats, beys, biys, begs, coupled with the proclaimed civilizing role of Russians in the life of indigenous peoples, which was dictated by the early Soviet ideology. Pavel Vasiliev also depicted the civilizing mission of Russian engineers, builders, railroad men; industrialization in Kazakh steppes; the images of ‘civilized’ Kazakh savages — fighters for Soviet power, builders of a new life. He draws typical negative images of mullahs, which was prompted by the Bolshevik struggle against religion and its influence on the masses. At the same time, he is aware of his spiritual kinship with the Kazakhs and does not portray the latter as THEM, for him they are US, relatives. In early Soviet literature, the image of ‘sleeping’ Asia was widespread enough, and the region was thus to be awakened with bayonets and machine guns — to turn into the ‘red’ East as part of an ideologically unified Soviet state. In this regard, Vasiliev was standing away from the mainstream, since he never viewed Asia as a backward or dormant territory. That was rather an ancient, millennia-old, mysterious country, his homeland. Orientalist poems by Pavel Vasiliev (Hunting with Golden Eagles, Jut, Melon Field near Semipalatinsk, Camel, etc.) also deviate from the mainstream, since they emphasize ethnic and cultural specificities of the Kazakhs — an indigenous people of the Asian frontier — and this somewhat contradicted the Soviet policy of depreciating indigenous cultures of Asia. Conclusions. The insight into Orientalist motifs of Vasiliev’s poetry attests to the latter were influenced by transcultural nature of the poet’s artistic worldview, since his creative mind was shaped within the Kazakh-Russian frontier.
QT interval analysis in individuals with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse
Authors: Jasim Riyadh Abdullah , Hassan Alaa Yousif , Shadhar Sabah Abed 
Published: April 2023

Objectives: The goals of the study are to determine whether or not there is a correlation between the QT interval and IMVP, to provide an explanation for sudden cardiac death in some cases, and to show how IMVP symptoms are linked to certain arrhythmias.
Methods: QTC intervals were measured in 43 patients with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse (11 men and 32 women with mean age 46±17 years). All patients underwent a clinical and echocardiographic examination, and ECG taking to assess the incidence of long QT in patients with IMVP.
Results: The data show that 36 of the 43 patients with IMVP have a prolonged QT interval, while only 2 of the 38 patients in the control group have. There was also an uptick in arrhythmia cases when the QT interval was prolonged.
Conclusion: Individuals with IMVP have an increased risk of arrhythmias, and this risk is even greater in patients with very long QT, which can cause life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, as shown by this study.
