Authors: Slobodyanik R. V. , Zykova S. S. , Shcherbakov O. V. , Agababyan K. E. 
Published: May 2023

Our research is devoted to the study at the present stage of the species composition
and distribution of blood-sucking dipteran insects, carriers of dangerous parasitic
zoonoses in the Meghri District of the Syunik Region, the Republic of Armenia. The
studies were carried out from June 25 to December 3, 2022 in the Meghri District of the Syunik Region (altitude 394–565 m above sea level, semi-desert zone) along the
Armenian-Iranian border, since it is here that invasive species are most likely to enter
Armenia. For the first time in Armenia, automatic light Mothmatic Freezer Traps,
and high-tech automated traps for collecting nocturnal entomofauna combined
with a freezer were used as equipment for collecting nocturnal insects with positive
results. Based on our research, it was established that the fauna of nocturnal bloodsucking Diptera in the Meghri District was quite diverse and was represented by 9
midge species: Culex pipiens, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Culiseta annulata, Aedes caspius,
Ae. vexans, Ae. geniculatus, Anopheles maculipennis, An. claviger, An. hyrcanus and 3
mosquito species: Phlebotomus papatasi, Ph. kandelakii and Ph. sergenti.
HUMAN CERCARIASIS IN AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS OF UZBEKISTAN
Authors: Shakarbaev U. A. 
Published: May 2023

The geography of human cercariasis is extensive. It covers urbanized areas of many
modern metropolitan cities. Cercariasis is also known in the inland waters of the
Amu Darya and Zarafshan River basins (within Uzbekistan). The causative agents
of cercariasis consist of two clearly differentiated cercariae groups: Schistosoma and
Bilharziella. The article presents the results of field and experimental studies on
nonspecific human cercariasis caused by cercariae Schistosoma turkestanicum and
Trichobilharzia ocellata in various reservoirs of Uzbekistan. In this paper, the studies
were conducted in Uzbekistan in 2020–2022. The material was collected in the delta
and floodplain reservoirs of the Amu Darya and Zarafshan rivers. The material was
collected in the deltaic and bottomland water bodies of the Amu Darya and Zarafshan
Rivers which were intensively visited by water birds and mammals. In different
seasons of the year, spring, summer, and autumn, more than 25 thousand specimens
of freshwater mollusks belonging to the families Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Physidae
and Thiaridae were collected and studied. Morphological study of cercariae was
conducted. In different types of reservoirs, the population of mollusks, intermediate
hosts, of discussed trematodes, turned out to be quite high. Their total infection with
parthenita and the cercariae bilharzia ranged from 0.3 to 6.2% in Lymnaeidae, and
4.0% in Melanoididae. Schistosome larvae (Sch. turkestanicum) infection was only
recorded in Lymnaea auricularia (Lymnaeidae), which was 12.6 to 22.6%.

The research purpose is to study the degree of the Toxocara canis nematode infection in dogs in Karakalpakstan, the Ferghana Valley and the Kashkadarya Region,
as well as to analyze seasonal and age dynamics of the invasion. The research work
was carried out in 2020–2023. A complete helminthological dissection of the intestines was carried out for 59 dogs (28 from Karakalpakstan, 21 from the Ferghana
Valley and 10 from Kashkadarya) and feces were examined from 143 dogs (76 from
Karakalpakstan, 56 from the Ferghana Valley, and 11 from Kashkadarya). Out of 59
dissected dogs, 36 (61.02%) were infected with the nematode Toxocara canis; the intensity of invasion was 11.2±0.6 specimens. The study of feces from 143 dogs found
that 31.8% of them (16.2% in rural areas, and 43.6% in cities) were infected with
Toxocara. It has been established that the infection of dogs with Toxocara depends
on their age, in particular, 52% in dogs up to 6 months; 31%, from 6 months up to a
year; 17.6%, from a year to 3 years; and 1.4%, over 3 years. A high degree of Toxocara
canis infection in dogs was observed in all seasons of the year, especially in summer.
The conducted studies show that the course of the epizootic process in this invasion
occurs on the basis of a certain pattern.

Published: May 2023

The rapid change in today’s society forces higher education to adapt to it and transform to prepare their graduates for the future, which entails regulating minimum language proficiency levels for a graduation requirement in universities. This study aims to investigate university students’ English proficiency level to revisit English language requirements at higher education institutions. To do so, this study used simple descriptive research using a TOEFL Prediction test administered to 400 university students at the University of Riau. The score was converted to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) to investigate whether the scores are relevant to the university’s needs. The results show that the majority of students (N=258) have achieved the A2 CEFR level (Basic User – way stage). This suggests that it has fulfilled the minimum requirement set by the university. However, this is unlikely to reflect the objectives envisioned by the institution. Therefore, recommendations aroused from the findings will be provided in this research.
The Eﬀects of Human Crowding and Store Messiness on Consumer Visit Intention: A Post Pandemic Study
Authors: Ali Syed Muhammad Fauzan , Husseiny Karamatullah , Adam Aamir 
Published: May 2023

Attraction towards decorated and tidy places is an innate human trait. The visit to well-organised places is more frequent whether for shopping or regular outings. This study aims to determine how environmental cues, such as human crowding and disorganised isles and shelves, inﬂuence the consumer intention to visit a departmental store in Pakistan in the post-covid era. The study investigates the mediating role of consumer-perceived contamination. The data was gathered from 298 participants in Karachi who frequently shopped at departmental stores. The collected data was analysed using PLS- SEM, and the results indicated that store messiness has a negative impact on consumer visit intention, which is mediated by perceived contamination. The results also showed that human crowding has a direct negative relationship with consumer visit intention, regardless of the consumer perceived contamination. It was suggested that managers should focus on enhancing the environment of the store to provide an exclusive shopping experience to the consumers and make use of strategies centered on improving environmental cues to mitigate the challenges associated with perceived contamination in the post- covid era.

This research aimed to investigate the chalenges and opportunities of online learning system implementation from students' perspectives. In this survey research, 143 students of aÂ private university were involved as the respondents. The respondents were third, fifth, and seventh-semester students from four different departments that have experienced learning English through an online learning system. The data of the research were gathered through administeringÂ an onlineÂ surveyÂ toÂ the respondents. The survey questionnaire covered items related to demographic information, online learning application, and chalenges and opportunities of online learning. The data of the survey were analyzed by presentingÂ theÂ frequencyÂ ofÂ students' responses towards each item of the questionnaire in form of a percentage. The students believed thatÂ onlineÂ learningÂ potentialyÂ providedÂ both chalenges and opportunities to the students.Â TechnicalÂ issues,Â minimumÂ interaction,Â lowÂ discipline, and a less effective learning atmosphere were among the dominant chalenges of online learning. Meanwhile, various material access, flexibility, interactive learning, and a relaxing learning atmo sphere were the major opportunities of online learning. Anticipating the chalenges and maximizing the opportunities are alternative solutions to promote the successful implementation of online learning.
