The Risks of Hydro-Hegemony: Turkey’s Environmental Policies and Shared Water Resources in the South Caucasus
Authors: Sakal Halil Burak 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war intensified the debates about regional integration and political rivalries in the South Caucasus. In the changing geopolitical setting of the region, Turkey’s regional environmental policies contradict its cooperation-based and friendly relations with the regional states. Taking a recent hydropower development project in the Kura-Araks River basin initiated by the government of Turkey as a case study, this study reviews Turkey’s transboundary water management policies in the region in connection with its political ties with the regional countries. This article argues that Turkey uses its relative power in the regional hydropolitical relations by exploiting current and historical issue-linkages and benefit-sharing options, and that the intention to act like a hydro-hegemon in the South Caucasus will negatively impact Turkey’s position in intended regional cooperation schemes and long-established strategic partnerships with the regional countries, especially Azerbaijan and Georgia.

Broadcasting Reform in Canada: The Case for a Georgist View of the Audience Commodity
Authors: Dimitrieff Gord 
Published: November 2022

Background: The Government of Canada’s Online Streaming Act attempts to incorporate online streaming services into the “single system” of the Broadcasting Act. The legislation has been heavily criticized for a variety of reasons, and constructive debate has been hampered by the lack of a clearly defined policy rationale or public interest objective—in large part because the term “broadcasting” is ill-defined in the internet context. Analysis: This article applies Georgist political economy to reinterpret Dallas Smythe’s concept of the “audience commodity” for the purpose of integrating emergent theories about the economics of attention and freedom of speech in the context of broadcasting and online media regulation. The principal argument is that a resource-centric view of human attention creates a technology-neutral conceptual basis for determining the scope of what is and is not media broadcasting. Conclusions and implications: The conceptual framework developed aligns the audience commodity concept with the contemporary business reality of content creators and helps draw some defining lines around the concept of “broadcasting” in the era of Internet platforms. Transitioning the fundamental basis for the definition of “broadcasting” from one of transmission methods to one of controlling the bottlenecks of attention would make it far easier to construct meaningful legislation in the public interest.
A call for disciplined patience instead of crystalloid infusion for the trauma patient
Authors: Ball Ian M. , Smith Shane , Laverty Colin , Hillsden Richard , Beckett Andrew 
Published: November 2022

LAY SUMMARY Bleeding trauma patients require resuscitation with blood rather than an infusion of salt solution. However, a short delay often occurs from the time a resuscitation provider calls for blood and its availability. When facing a bleeding trauma patient with life-threatening low blood pressure, providers feel pressure to give immediately available salt-containing fluids. These fluids may help increase a patient’s blood pressure but will also decrease the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to organs and may increase bleeding and shock. It is proposed that providers maintain disciplined patience and wait for blood to be available rather than transfusing saltwater solutions.

Published: November 2022

Herbal Medicine is proving itself to be a complementary and alternative type of treatment, other than conventional medication approaches. The use of plants, roots, seeds, and other various natural resources has proven their potentially high therapeutic values and expanding healthcare treatments in a way that benefits all, especially patients with a weak immune system who may suffer from health complications, in which standard approaches no longer perform any improvement in their diagnosis or those who suffers from side effects caused by conventional drugs. The present review is mainly focused on the use of Herbal Medicine for treating a disease or preventing our immune system from breaking down by using different herbs to stabilize and regulate our immunity. Several herbal drugs have been studied and tested, proving to enhance the efficiency of immunotherapies and inhibit illness progression due to their powerful pharmacological active ingredients, which can also be combined with one another, performing an even stronger boost to our immune system and possibly fight against a disease or symptom. Since ages ago, herbs were used for healing illnesses, being unknown all the extensive benefits a single plant can provide, but at the present time, medicinal plants not only play their role to heal, but also, to regulate and treat with barely no side effect, in comparison to other chemical compounds, improving lifestyle and being a trustworthy approach all over the world.

THE PECULIARITIES OF RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF INTERNET VIDEO MATERIALS IN A PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF HISTORY TEACHER
Authors: Kutsenko Sergiy 
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the specifics of the use of video materials as an additional information source by the teacher in history lessons. The textbook ceases to be a single source of scientific knowledge about the history of our state and the world in general. Ukrainian teachers and pupils are increasingly using the Internet as a powerful source of informational, methodological resources to obtain new data that haven’t been represented in school textbooks yet. On the Internet, they are looking for various materials (text, video, graphic information), which must be accurate, reliable, and verified. Among different types of information posted on the Internet checking videos for veracity is the most challenging task. Anyone with the lowest level of awareness may change the video by means of user-friendly programs.In the 21st century, most people, unlike previous generations, have mobile devices and are provided with photo and video cameras, a microphone, and access to the Internet allowing them to record a certain event witnessed by a person. That’s why the creation of video materials isn’t a complicated task. The number of photos and videos, and audio recordings posted on the Internet is constantly expanding, they are sent to acquaintances every minute, which constantly requires skills in working with information to detect fakes and manipulations. Pupils often mistakenly believe that the information posted on the Internet is valuable and reliable. They usually have no doubts about the information's reliability and the authors’ honesty. Previous pupils’ experiences of using reliable printed sources of information (textbooks, manuals) at school allow them to transfer these qualities to other sources. State educational standards and curricula of separate disciplines presuppose the formation of special skills in checking the information for reliability and veracity and the development of critical thinking, but, according to state documents, the content of such education, systems for diagnosing relevant skills, their assessment are not taken into consideration. Having realized the importance of these pieces of knowledge and skills formation, every teacher will be anxious to educate pupils in this direction and have to plan what he will have to teach, and how to check and assess the obtained knowledge and skills. If primary or secondary school pupils’ skills are not formed, the teacher should start from the very beginning even whether learners are school-leavers.

A PERSONALLY ORIENTED BASIS FOR THE FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL AND VALUE ORIENTATIONS OF THE FUTURE TEACHER OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Mamchur Yevhen 
Published: November 2022

An important purpose of Ukrainian education is to create conditions for personal development and creative self-realization for every young person, to form a generation capable of lifelong learning, to create and develop the values of civil society. In the process of teaching the discipline of the socio-humanitarian cycle, the transition from informative and explanatory forms and teaching methods to more active and creative ones, which are aimed at practical and professional application during studies at a higher educational institution, is of particular importance. Value orientations are actual formations in the structure of a person’s consciousness and self-awareness, which begins a series of his essential characteristics as an individual. Personally oriented technology as a purposeful concept of education and upbringing is centred on the student and is aimed at his development, self-improvement, and self-realization of the personal self-concept. The article highlights the importance of personally oriented foundations for the formation and development of professional value orientations of future foreign language teachers through practical activities in the process of studying the disciplines of the social and humanitarian cycle.The implementation of personally oriented technologies for studying the disciplines of the socio-humanitarian cycle and the special course provided for the partnership of the teacher and the student, turning the latter into an active subject of the pedagogical process, built on the ideas of humanism and cooperation. Personally oriented technology as a holistic concept of education and upbringing is centralised on the student and is aimed at his development, self-improvement, and self-realization of his personal self-concept. Procedurally, the use of optimal organizational forms and active methods, built on the basis of practical compatible conscious subject-subject interaction of the teacher and student, became the ways of implementing personally oriented technology.
Keywords: future teacher of foreign language; values; value orientations; learning technology; personally oriented technology; social and humanitarian disciplines; forming of professional and value orientations; the mechanism of formation of professional value orientations.

Authors: Lyulchenko Vyacheslav , Polishchuk Natalia 
Published: November 2022

The article theoretically highlights the mechanism of sanitary-hygienic competence formation among students of higher education majoring in “Hotel and restaurant business”. It has been established that this problem has its relevance and the need for its fastest solution, namely by revising the conditions of the educational process of higher education institutions. This involves the formation of students at a high level of safe and responsible behavior regarding the care of their health. The factors that directly affect the process of forming sanitary and hygienic competence among student youth of higher education institutions are analyzed. Ways to create an optimal educational process for the formation of sanitary-hygienic competence in first-level higher education graduates of the “Hotel and restaurant business” specialty are proposed. This approach will allow the future specialist to create a health-saving environment for employees of service establishments.The state of health of young people plays an important role in the formation of an economically and socially sustainable state. After all, the health and well-being of society is the driving force behind the development of the state, especially in the matter of the reproduction of productive forces (human resources), as a universal reserve. Particular attention is paid to the health care of young people as a socio-medical and pedagogical-psychological problem of the state with the search, development and implementation of effective health-forming technologies.The approach is designed to provide information about the professional activities of a future specialist in the service sector, namely the formation of a health-saving environment in which employees can work effectively. The existing sanitary and hygienic competence implies being ready to preserve the health of both one’s own and nearby.

Electrical Impedance Myography Correlates with Functional Measures of Disease Progression in D2-mdx Mice and Boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Authors: Chrzanowski Stephen M. , Nagy Janice A. , Pandeya Sarbesh , Rutkove Seward B. 
Published: November 2022

Background: Sensitive, objective, and longitudinal outcome measures applicable to both pre-clinical and clinical interventions are needed to assess muscle health in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Electrical impedance myography (EIM) has the potential to non-invasively measure disease progression in mice and boys with DMD. Objective: We sought to evaluate how electrical impedance values (i.e., phase, reactance, and resistance) correlate to established measures of disease in both D2-mdx and wild type (WT) mice and boys with and without DMD. Methods: Histological, functional, and EIM data collected from previous studies of WT and D2-mdx mice at 6, 13, 21 and 43 weeks of age were reanalyzed. In parallel, previously collected functional outcome measures and EIM values were reanalyzed from boys with and without DMD at four different age groups from 2 to 14 years old. Results: In mice, disease progression as detected by histological, functional, and EIM measures, was appreciable over this time period and grip strength best correlated to longitudinal phase and reactance impedance values. In boys, disease progression quantified through commonly utilized functional outcome measures was significant and longitudinal phase demonstrated the strongest correlation with functional outcome measures. Conclusion: Similar changes in EIM values, specifically in longitudinal reactance and phase, were found to show significant correlations to functional measures in both mice and boys. Thus, EIM demonstrates applicability in both pre-clinical and clinical settings and can be used as a safe, non-invasive, and longitudinal proxy biomarker to assess muscle health in DMD.
What is it like to be Out-of-Body? Phenomenal accounts of experiencers
Authors: Tressoldi Patrizio , Pederzoli Luciano 
Published: November 2022

By using the descriptions of the Out-of-Body experiences of 13 participants, we aimed to have a picture of what it is like to be in this particular state of consciousness.

All information was grouped according to the following topics: consciousness status, self-boundaries, object perception, color perception, other types of perceptions, interactions with other people or beings, emotions, and time and movement perception.

From the 13 first-person accounts, it emerges a very different way to perceive and know with respect to the perception constrained by the brain and sensory organs.

Overall, the participants reported positive feelings, a consciousness status characterized by a high level of self-awareness without self-boundaries, and the ability to perceive information with almost all modalities, living in a timeless dimension.
