Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the breeding of domestic animals in households of Alagoas-BR during the pandemic. Theoretical Reference: Zootechnology is the science that aims to harness the potential of domestic animals, with the purpose of exploiting them rationally as a source of food and other purposes with humans, adapting animals to the creative environment and thus harnessing them for nutritional and economic purposes. Domestic animals, in turn, are of great importance in society, from those intended for human consumption, as well as those tutored for domestic companionship and other purposes such as accompanying persons with special needs. Method: The search was performed by collecting data, constituting a quantitative search, through a questionnaire on Google Forms. The study's actors were students from the ECSC-UFAL. Through the answers, it was identified that the majority of the participants corresponded to students of the Zootechny course. Results: The majority of respondents reside in the urban area, being 82.5% residents of houses. Of the total, 42.6% stated that they had as monthly income per capita up to 1.5 minimum wages. Twelve types of animals were cited and 72.1% of the participants did not start breeding a new animal during the pandemic, of the 27.9%, most of the animals were obtained by adoption. With the main reason being financial, 5 of the interviewees claimed that they had to donate the animal during the pandemic. Eight interviewees raise animals for consumption, including cattle, chickens, pigs, sheep and goats. Only 7.7% sought the help of a zootechnician to assist in the rearing of these animals. However, even being a low percentage, it is understood that all participants know the role of the zootechnician in animal breeding. Implications of research: For the professional practice of the zootechnician, it is indispensable to have a holistic understanding of all the factors and phenomena around him. This perception begins in his education as a student and his experiences and experiences contribute to the result (professional activity). Originality/value: The results presented here as the result of the research deal with unprecedented and relevant data for studies especially within the area of agrarian and related sciences, since it raises perceptions of students as to their course, as well as these actors tend to represent their understandings to the external public. It also implies the need for a better understanding of the importance of domestic animals going beyond breeding for consumption and/or simple companionship to guardians.

Aim. To analyze the range of antihistamines (AH) at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine.
Materials and methods. The analysis of the range of drugs was carried out in accordance with the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine as of February 2023, the weekly “Apteka” to determine the data of actual sales of AH. Statistical, frequency and graphic methods were used in the analysis. The information was processed using Microsoft Office Excel.
Results. As a result of the frequency analysis, it was found that the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine as of February 2023 of AН for systematic use was represented by 170 trade names (TN) and 135 international non-proprietary names (INN). The leaders by INN were Desloratadine (34 TN) and Levocetirizine (26 TN). According to the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine as of February 2023, there were different drug forms, namely: tablets, solutions, drops, syrups, dragees and granules for the preparation of oral suspension. The largest share was AH in the form of tablets (70.59 %), solutions, drops, and syrups accounted for almost the same percentage (10 %, 9,41 %, 8,82 %), and 2 % of AH were registered in the form of dragees. The ratio of AH producing countries at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine by TN was also determined. It was found that among the dosage forms presented, 62 % were of foreign production. AH of domestic production were 38 %; moreover, the largest market share (19 %) was produced by LLC Pharmaceutical Company “Zdorovye”. According to the results of the official data of weekly “Apteka” on the actual consumption of AH, it was found that AH of the second generation were the most popular both by INN and TN. It is due to their pharmacokinetic properties and the optimal price/effectiveness ratio.
Conclusions. Based on the above, we can conclude that the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine is represented by a wide range of AH in various forms of production and various manufacturers. This leads to a wide choice of drugs of this group among the population, pharmaceutical and medical professionals.

Published: September 2023

Background:Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a palliative treatment for refractory epilepsy and intraoperative nerve stimulation is applied to the vagal and other nerves to prevent electrode misplacement. We evaluated these thresholds to establish intraoperative monitoring procedures for VNS surgery.Methods:Forty-six patients who underwent intraoperative nerve stimulation during VNS placement were enrolled. The vagal nerve and other exposed nerves were electrically stimulated during surgery, and muscle contraction was confirmed by electromyography of the vocal cords and visual recognition of cervical muscle contraction. The nerve thresholds and the most sensitive parts of the vagal nerve were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The stimulation of vagal nerves induced vocal cord responses in all 46 patients; the median thresholds of the most sensitive parts and all parts were 0.2 mA (range: 0.05–0.75 mA) and 0.25 mA (range: 0.15–1.5 mA), respectively. The medial middle region was identified as the most sensitive part of the vagal nerve in the majority of participants (82.5%). In 11 patients, other cervical nerves were stimulated and sternohyoid muscle contraction was induced with a median threshold of 0.35 mA (range: 0.1–0.7 mA) in eight patients, while sternocleidomastoid muscle contraction was induced with a median threshold of 0.2 mA (range: 0.1–0.2 mA) in three.Conclusion:Intraoperative stimulation of vagal nerves induces vocal cord responses with locational variations, and the middle part stimulation could minimize the stimulus intensities. The nerves innervating the sternohyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles may be exposed during the procedure. Knowledge of these characteristics will enhance the effectiveness of this technique in future applications.

Published: September 2023

Background:
External ventricular drainage (EVD) is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures. Complications are rather rare and mostly include hemorrhage and infection. Hematomas may form during placement or even after the removal of an EVD. Regarding the latter, the literature is scarce, with only nine clinically significant cases reported.

Case Description:
We present the case of a young woman who suffered an extensive hemorrhage after removal of an EVD, in the setting of a posterior fossa stroke. We discuss the management and possible consequences of such an event and we emphasize the need for alertness to avoid such complications.

Conclusion:
Removal of an EVD is a safe procedure, with rare cases of hemorrhagic complications being reported. A case of a large hematoma that formed after the removal of an EVD is presented. Stricter follow-up protocols should be implemented to better estimate the risk of hemorrhage.

Background:
Spontaneous complete regression of malignant cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSDAVFs) following partial transarterial embolization is an extremely uncommon phenomenon. The mechanism responsible for this condition remains unclear.

Case Description:
The authors describe two cases of malignant CSDAVFs (Cognard IIb and V) treated by partial transarterial embolization with liquid embolic agents after unsuccessful transvenous embolization through various routes. Follow-up cerebral angiography in these cases confirmed complete resolution of the fistulas.

Conclusion:
In our two patients harboring low-flow CSDAVFs with preexisting thrombosis of the cavernous sinus (CS), it is possible that some portions of the liquid embolic materials could migrate into the fistulas, inducing thrombosis within the CS.

В декаде информационных технологий, когда данные становятся ключевым активом и орудием влияния, вопросы информационной безопасности в высшем образовании России приобретают важнейшую актуальность. Данные Рособрнадзора свидетельствуют, что на 2023 год число студентов, обучающихся по специальностям, связанным с информационной безопасностью, составляет 150 тысяч человек, что в 1.2 раза больше, чем в 2021 году. Проблематика информационной безопасности пронизывает все сферы человеческой деятельности. На фоне этого, за последние 5 лет число вузов России, включивших дисциплины информационной безопасности в общеобразовательный план, возросло на 15%, достигая отметки в 80%. Однако анализ 500 открытых учебных программ показал, что всего лишь 20% из них подразумевают комплексный подход к обучению информационной безопасности. Между тем, цифровые угрозы усиливаются: по данным Бюро по координации угроз (БКУ), за 2022 год количество кибератак на учебные заведения возросло на 35%. Настоящая статья представляет собой анализ аспектов обучения информационной безопасности в вузах России.

Published: September 2023

При исследовании вопросов межкультурной коммуникации важную роль играет изучение зарубежной литературы, которая становится неисчерпаемым источником получения информации о культуре, истории и менталитете народов мира. Важно отметить, что в современном мире, когда общество все больше становится мультикультурным, изучение иностранных литературных произведений становится одним из основных методов формирования у студентов межкультурной компетенции. В 2018 году 67% педагогов университетов России подчеркивают значимость изучения зарубежной литературы в качестве неотъемлемого элемента педагогического процесса в вузе. Знание иностранной литературы помогает им лучше понимать иностранный язык и культуру. Таким образом, осознание важности иностранной литературы в формировании межкультурной компетенции становится все более явным как для студентов, так и для преподавателей. Более того, ряд исследований подтверждает эффективность использования зарубежной литературы в обучении. Вопрос о конкретных механизмах, с помощью которых изучение зарубежной литературы способствует формированию межкультурной компетенции, до сих пор остается открытым. Существует необходимость более глубокого изучения этой проблемы, включая анализ специфики восприятия иностранной литературы студентами, а также исследование влияния различных жанров и направлений иностранной литературы на формирование межкультурной компетенции.
When studying the issues of intercultural communication, an important role is played by the study of foreign literature, which becomes an inexhaustible source of information about the culture, history and mentality of the peoples of the world. It is important to note that in the modern world, when society is increasingly becoming multicultural, the study of foreign literary works is becoming one of the main methods of forming students' intercultural competence. In 2018, 67% of Russian university teachers emphasize the importance of studying foreign literature as an integral element of the pedagogical process at the university. Knowledge of foreign literature helps them to better understand a foreign language and culture. Thus, the awareness of the importance of foreign literature in the formation of intercultural competence is becoming more and more obvious for both students and teachers. Moreover, a number of studies confirm the effectiveness of using foreign literature in teaching. The question of specific mechanisms by which the study of foreign literature contributes to the formation of intercultural competence still remains open. There is a need for a deeper study of this problem, including the analysis of the specifics of the perception of foreign literature by students, as well as the study of the influence of various genres and directions of foreign literature on the formation of intercultural competence.

Published: September 2023

Сегодня общество предъявляет к педагогам высокие требования, особенно это касается специальности научно-педагогических работников вуза, ведь именно они формируют специалистов будущего. Мы считаем, что современный педагог в условиях быстрых изменений мира, развития науки и техники, должен уметь быстро реагировать и эффективно адаптироваться к новым условиям, стремиться совершенствовать свои профессиональные качества, непрерывно обновлять знания и умения не только по преподавательской специализации, но и осваивать новые направления, которые могут быть полезными в профессиональной деятельности, стремиться к постоянному саморазвитию и самосовершенствованию. Именно поэтому мы считаем актуальной для рассмотрения тему исследования. Вопросы профессиональной компетентности преподавателей вуза сегодня является достаточно актуальным и дискуссионным, ведь со времени введения в образование компетентностного подхода среди ученых до сих пор нет единого мнения даже не только о его составляющих, но и к определению самого понятия. Ученые используют различные подходы (деятельностный, нормативный, профессионально-образовательный, психологический и т.д.). Особое внимание ученые уделяют структуре профессиональной компетентности, хотя и оперируют разной терминологией (навыки, компетенции, компетентности, компоненты, составляющие и тому подобное) и до сих пор не находят единого подхода к самому набора составляющих.
Today, society places high demands on teachers, especially with regard to the specialty of scientific and pedagogical staff of the university, because they are the ones who form the specialists of the future. We believe that a modern teacher in the conditions of rapid changes in the world, the development of science and technology, should be able to react quickly and adapt effectively to new conditions, strive to improve his professional qualities, continuously update knowledge and skills not only in teaching specialization, but also to master new directions that can be useful in professional activities, strive to to constant self-development and self-improvement. That is why we consider the topic of the study relevant for consideration. The issues of professional competence of university teachers are quite relevant and debatable today, because since the introduction of the competence approach into education, there is still no consensus among scientists not even about its components, but also about the definition of the concept itself. Scientists use various approaches (activity-based, normative, professional-educational, psychological, etc. Scientists pay special attention to the structure of professional competence, although they operate with different terminology (skills, competencies, competencies, components, components, etc.) and still do not find a single approach to the very set of components.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors that can foster repurchase intention. The factors studied are in accordance with the findings of the gap between consumer expectations and the experience received after using the service. The factors studied were perceived quality, perceived price, digital marketing and brand image.

Theoretical framework: The perception of quality that is formed from consumer experience is able to foster interest in returning (Ranjbarian & Pool, 2015). In addition, perceived quality can improve the hotel's image (Sari et al., 2022). Price perceptions can influence a person to visit again (Cakici et al., 2019). Digital marketing has an effect on repurchase intention (Ginting et al., 2022). Likewise, brand image can have a positive influence on growing repurchase intentions (Huang et al., 2019).

Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is a quantitative method with a population of consumers who have stayed at the hotel. The number of samples is 151 respondents. Data collected by distributing questionnaires is then analyzed using SMARTPLS 3.0 software, hypothesis testing with the PLS approach.

Findings: The results of the analysis show that there is an influence of perceived quality, perceived price, digital marketing has an effect on brand image and has an impact on repurchase intention. However, price perception has no effect on repurchase intention.

Research, practical & social implications: To foster repurchase interest, consumers need to obtain good quality perceptions, price perceptions and digital marketing so as to enhance brand image.

Originality/Value: The model developed by making brand image a factor that can strengthen or weaken in influencing repurchase intention is determined from perceived quality, perceived price and digital marketing.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Age and the choice of language learning strategies (LLS) have similarities with the relationship between the aspects of individual differences, social factor, and the LLS itself. This study aimed to investigate whether and how the learners’ starting age in second language learning affects their choice of LLS. 94 ESL learners of two age-based groups were involved in this study. A translated version of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) version 7.0 proposed by Oxford and an interview guideline were used in data collection. Such version covers 50 statements designed for the learners of English as a second and foreign language. The SILL identified the learners’ strategy by asking them to give a response to a series of strategy statements. The data were then analyzed through inferential statistics. The results of the study revealed that learners’ starting age in second language learning affects their choice of LLS due to their different goals in learning English. The early-starting learners generally learn English to communicate properly while the late-starting learners do the same for specific purposes, such as for working and for studying abroad.
