IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the effects of smartphone addiction on cognitive function and physical activity in middle-school children.MethodsA population of 196 children (boys and girls) from middle schools were recruited for this study with an average age of 12.99 ± 0.81 years, a height of 153.86 ± 6.50 meters, a weight of 48.07 ± 7.31 kilograms, and a body mass index of 20.22 ± 2.08 kg/m2. Smartphone addiction was determined using Arabic versions of the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and physical activity levels were assessed by a physical activity questionnaire for older children. The working memory and selective attention domains of cognitive function were evaluated using a laptop screen's digital version of the memory automaticity and Flanker tasks, respectively. A one-way MANOVA was conducted to determine the differences in working memory between the smartphone-addicted and non-addicted groups. The relationship between smartphone addiction and physical activity was analyzed using Pearson's chi-squared test.ResultsThe cognitive function-attention domain accuracy component showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, with a p-value of 0.05). The reaction time between smartphone-addicted and non-addicted children showed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.817). The relationship between smartphone addiction and physical activity was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001).DiscussionThe interaction effects between physical activity and smartphone addiction on reaction times showed statistically insignificant (p = 0.25) differences, showing that physical activity's effect on reaction times did not depend on smartphone addiction levels. The non-addicted children had significantly higher physical activity levels than the addicted children, indicating that smartphone addiction reduced physical activity.

ObjectiveTo address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, our hospital developed an intelligent hospital management mode specifically tailored to COVID-19 patients.MethodsThis study included patients with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 admitted to our hospital between January 2020 to December 2022. We sought to explore intelligent hospital management mode based on artificial intelligence (AI) and new technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), wearable devices, robots, and small programs.ResultsIntelligent hospital management mode can help improve the quality of life of patients, while also improving the management ability of the hospital, as it can automatically deliver timely patient reminders, maintain environmental cleanliness, and help in the transportation of medical equipment without any manual labor. This can help in conserving time and reducing the workload of medical staff. Moreover, itcan help intellectualize patient admission, patient discharge, and hospital management, thereby helping in providing efficient medical and patient humanistic care.ConclusionsThe development of intelligent management mode can reduce the burden of medical personnel and the probability of developing infection and bring about timely and better patient care. Intelligent management can play a pivotal role in control of the epidemic, treating patients, allocation of resources, tracing the root cause of the virus, and monitoring.

IntroductionThe aim of this study is to demonstrate the relevance of primary acute angle closure (APAC) and COVID-19 infection, compare the demographic features and manifestations between COVID-19 positive and negative patients with APAC, and infer the underlying mechanism.MethodsThis study is based on all patients diagnosed with APAC at the glaucoma center of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University (Fenyang road center) from 15th December 2022 to 11th January 2023. Totally 171 APAC cases were categorized into COVID-19 positive and negative group. Demographic features and final treatment level of the patients were compared between the two groups. Clinical manifestations, intraocular pressure, and anterior chamber configuration were also compared between the two groups.ResultsIn the COVID-19 positive group, the number of cases with APAC onset spiked in 22nd December 2022, which coincided with the spike of COVID-19 antigen positive people. Compared to the COVID-19 negative group, COVID-19 positive APAC patients were younger with a lower percentage of APAC history. Additionally, more eyes of COVID-19 positive APAC patients showed keratic precipitates. COVID-19 positive eyes had significantly larger anterior chamber depth with a more dilated pupil. Therefore, COVID-19 infection could probably act as a triggering factor of APACDiscussionThe onset of APAC might be accelerated by COVID-19 infection for patients with younger age and milder anatomical configuration. Additionally, COVID-19 related APAC cases might have a more abrupt and fierce onset. Ophthalmic emergent services should not be neglected during the epidemic period.

Published: August 2023

AimThis study aimed to propose a possible interventional form of occupational therapy through a case study report of the applied Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach as telehealth for a child with developmental coordination disorder (DCD).MethodsThe intervention method was CO-OP-based tele-occupational therapy for a boy with DCD and his mother; 10 sessions were conducted using a video-conferencing system. This study used the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) as assessment tools. The PQRS evaluated each occupational performance based on videos recorded during the online sessions and videos taken by the mother of the child.ResultsThe CO-OP approach improved COPM performance and satisfaction as well as PQRS scores in the following five goals: (1) handwriting, (2) column addition, (3) jumping rope, (4) playing on the bar, and (5) riding a bicycle.ConclusionsAn online approach based on the CO-OP was realistic and effective, to some extent. Continuing to develop telehealth interventions in the future is recommended.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the distribution and differences in the health status of migrant workers in China by gender and age. In addition, it investigated the causes of health inequalities among them.Methods: This paper analyzes the differences in health status across age groups for migrant workers of different genders based on the data from the China Migrant Dynamic Survey in 2018. It also empirically assesses how education level and health insurance impact gender-related health inequalities.Results: The results suggest that female migrant workers in China have significantly lower health levels than males. Furthermore, these differences in health are exacerbated with age. This disparity may be attributed to lower participation in social insurance participation and less educational attainment among female migrant workers than their male counterparts.Conclusion: The government should take effective practical measures to increase the social insurance participation rate of female migrant workers. Moreover, investing in female education to reduce health inequality among migrant workers is essential.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: The study estimated the environmental burden of disease (EBD) attributable to a long-term exposure of the population to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions from hard coal- and lignite-fired power plants in Germany for the year 2015.Methods: The contribution of coal-fired power plants to the total air pollutant concentration was modelled using a chemical transport model and then combined with population data to assess the corresponding population exposure. We calculated years of life lost (YLL), years of life with disability, or disability-adjusted life years for different health outcomes with a strong evidence for an association with the exposure.Results: The burden of disease from PM2.5 emissions from lignite is 1.2 times higher than that from hard coal emissions (7,866 YLL compared to 6,412 YLL). NO2 emissions from lignite, cause a burden of disease 2.3 times higher than hard coal NO2-emission (13,537 YLL compared to 5,906 YLL). The EBD for both pollutants is dominated by diseases of the cardiovascular system.Conclusion: Abandoning energy generation by coal-fired power plants would lower the burden of disease in Germany.

Soil cyanobacterium, FBCC-A195 were isolated from the soil underneath the Jangnak Bridge, Republic of Korea. The FBCC-A195 was studied using light microscopy (LM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), 16S rRNA, 16S–23S ITS, and ecological data. FBCC-A195 showed the circular cross-section of the trichome, broad mucilaginous envelopes, a swirl-like pattern of thylakoids inside the cell, and the lowest length/width ratio within the genus. In the 16S rRNA phylogeny, FBCC-A195 showed a sister relationship of Hormoscilla and belonged to the family Gomontiellaceae. The p-distance of FBCC-A195 ranged from 1.7% with H. pringsheimii to 12% with Komvophoron kgarii in the family. In the secondary structure of 16S–23S ITS, D1–D1’, Box-B, and V3 helix of FBCC-A195 were distinguished from those of other taxa in the Gomontiellaceae. Based upon morphological, ecological, and molecular traits, Katagnymene terrestris proved to be a unique and novel species of the Katagnymene.

Published: August 2023

The protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum is the causative pathogen of the most severe form of malaria, for which novel strategies for treatment are urgently required. The primary energy supply for intraerythrocytic stages of Plasmodium is the production of ATP via glycolysis. Due to the parasite’s strong dependence on this pathway and the significant structural differences of its glycolytic enzymes compared to its human counterpart, glycolysis is considered a potential drug target. In this study, we provide the first three-dimensional protein structure of P. falciparum hexokinase (PfHK) containing novel information about the mechanisms of PfHK. We identified for the first time a Plasmodium-specific insertion that lines the active site. Moreover, we propose that this insertion plays a role in ATP binding. Residues of the insertion further seem to affect the tetrameric interface and therefore suggest a special way of communication among the different monomers. In addition, we confirmed that PfHK is targeted and affected by oxidative posttranslational modifications (oxPTMs). Both S-glutathionylation and S-nitrosation revealed an inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity of PfHK.

Poultry rendering is the process of upcycling inedible poultry carcass materials into useful animal food/feed components as well as other valuable commercial products. Microbiological safety validation is nonetheless critical to ensuring the prevention of food safety hazard(s) transmission. This study determined the death kinetics of the thermotolerant Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg isolate 775W in chicken feathers and blood in low-temperature dry rendering (i.e., no direct contact with heating medium) to validate pathogen inactivation in commercial processing. Chicken feathers and blood were inoculated with Salmonella Senftenberg 775W and heated to 60, 70, or 80 °C for up to 60, 20, and 5 min, respectively. Three identically completed replicates (N = 3) for each product were conducted. Pathogen inactivation data were fitted to a non-linear model, providing for the detection and characterization of shoulder, log-linear death, and tailing components in death curves. The analysis showed a >7-log10 reduction in Salmonella was achieved across all processing temperatures, with t7D values (time for 7.0 log-cycle lethality) ranging from 21.68, 7.30, and 4.26 min for feathers and 18.38, 5.03, and 2.79 min in blood at 60, 70, and 80 °C, respectively. Study findings validate that low-temperature processing conditions can inactivate Salmonella in poultry-rendered offal.

The article highlighted the results of the analysis of collection of annual flowering-and-ornamental plants in the Botanical Garden of Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University. It was found that the collection of annuals included 76 species and 267 varieties belonging to 61 genera and 27 families. The largest number of species was represented by the families Asteraceae – 25 and Amaranthaceae – 6 species. Callistephus chinensis (L.) Ness. species containing 171 varieties belonging to three classes, 10 types and 44 varietal types and Tagetes L. genus including three species and 42 varieties were distinguished by varietal diversity.
The taxonomic composition of the collection of annual flowering-and-ornamental plants was analyzed and it was established that 53% belonged to beautiful flowering plants, 21% to leafy ornamental plants, 10% to fragrant plants, 7% to dried flowers, 5% to climbing plants, 4% to ground cover species. It was established that all species and varieties of the collection differed in origin, height of shoots, nature of branching. According to the methods of cultivation, 78,3% of the species and varieties of the collection were suitable for sowing in open ground, and only 21,7% required a seedling method of cultivation. Analysis of flowering dates showed that 22,5% of the species and varieties of the collection began flowering 8-9 weeks after sowing, 52,3% – after 10-12 weeks and 25,2% – after 13-14 weeks after sowing seeds. Ornamental qualities of annuals, in particular, growth forms and height of plants, color palette of flowers and inflorescences, terry forms of flowers, their aromatic properties, variety of shapes and sizes of leaves, long and abundant flowering and resistance to the conditions of urboecosystems allowed to widely introduce annual flower plants into urban landscaping, in particular, in geometric flower beds, mixed borders, rabatka, borders, solitaires, groups, Moorish lawns, parterre flower beds and to create monoculture gardens.
PECULIARITIES OF ASSOCIATION OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SUPERCLASS PISCES INTO SOCIAL GROUPS
Authors: Palchyk O. 
Published: August 2023

The article presents the results of the analysis of modern literary sources on the identification of common features that contribute to the maintenance of representatives of different species of the superclass Pisces together, ensuring the social organization of individuals in a school. The article considers a «school» as a group of fish that is kept together by social attraction. The social benefits of such social association are considered, namely: providing protection from predators through mechanisms that include increased detection of predators, reduced chances of capture and entanglement of predators; increasing the ability of fish to find prey, i.e., increased success in finding food; increased probability of finding a sexual partner; hydrodynamic efficiency.
The article describes and analyzesthe scientific evidence for the existence of phenotypic homogeneity (color, shape, size) between individuals in a school; the mechanisms by which fish are able to distinguish between group members by choosing to associate with similar.
The popular theory of the «oddity effect» is characterized. It states that rare, phenotypically distinct individuals within a school are more likely to be targeted by predators. It is confirmed that the homogeneity of individuals in a school in terms of color, odor, body size and shape, both in homogeneous and mixed schools, is due to the «oddity effect» and the «confusion effect» and is explained by an adaptive defense mechanism against predation. It is noted that modern research provides new data that contradict the predictions of the «oddity effect», which indicates the prospects for further research on this scientific issue.
It is noted that the complex interactive behavior of fish is influenced by differences in the sex ratio of interacting individuals in a school. It is emphasized that the influence of hormonal regulation on the social behavior of fish is significant and has its own characteristic features, which, unlike terrestrial animals, are not sufficiently studied, so this area of research is promising.
SELECTION CRITERIA OF ENGLISH AND UKRAINIAN POETRY FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Styrkina Yu. 
Published: August 2023

The article is keen on answering the question: what should be the quality characteristics of the poetry offered for study in primary school, so that it could be easily perceived, so that it could be easy for children to remember, and so that it could be able to develop aesthetic tastes, a sense of rhythm, and rhymes.
The article stresses that poetry is designed to evoke a sense of security, harmony, and detachment in a child, to awaken intuition, and to create a relaxed atmosphere conducive to learning, just like music. The author states that poetry is especially important in our time when today's children live in the age of digital technologies. They often lack live contacts, they are lonely and very sensitive, but at the same time, they are not fully aware of their emotions. Reading poetry for them becomes not only the development of skills, but also psychotherapy, and empathy training, when a common emotional and valuable space is created, and book characters turn into safe guides to a stable world. And if to take into account the fact that all our internal processes are related to rhythmization, and rhythm and rhyme affect even motor activity and a sense of security, then we can conclude the necessity of forming criteria of poetry for study in elementary school.
The research states that the rhythms and melody of the poetic word return a person to the original state of harmony with himself and the surrounding world if it is a quality, genius poetry, but it can also distort the taste, bring disharmony to the state of mind of both an adult and a child - a child even more, since children are more sensitive to the effects of the external environment. Therefore, it is extremely important what kind of poetry we offer to the attention of an individual undergoing the process of formation.

The use of a learning management system (LMS) is one of the media that can be used to disseminate lecturer materials to students. Materials that can be uploaded on the LMS can be in the form of lecture materials in the form of files, videos, or questions. The effectiveness of LMS can be evaluated by looking at activities in using LMS. The effectiveness of using LMS can be seen from the log. Log results from LMS can be evaluated in various ways and one way is to use data mining clustering models. The clustering model can be used to create student groupings and the clustering results can be labeled in the form of categories, such as very good, good, and bad categories. This labeling depends on the clustering results that will be processed in the modeling. The research method uses CRISP DM which consists of business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and deployment. The beginning of the research process is carried out by taking log data in the Moodle LMS. The clustering model in this research will use the K-Means algorithm and the evaluation of clustering results will be evaluated for performance using the Davies-Bouldin method.
