"Fill the World with Love": Songs with Prosocial Lyrics Enhance Online Charitable Donations among Chinese Adults.

Research has shown that songs with prosocial lyrics can enhance individual prosociality. Building on the general learning model (GLM), this study demonstrated, through real-world charitable organizations, how songs with prosocial lyrics influence helping behavior that uses time as a currency. In Study 1, participants were randomly assigned to conditions of prosocial songs, prosocial lyrics, or neutral songs, and they were instructed to complete an online charity task. The results indicated that compared to the neutral songs, participants listening to prosocial songs and lyrics spent more time donating rice to the United Nations World Food Programme. This effect was replicated in Study 2, employing different media exposure from Study 1 (i.e., listening to background music). Furthermore, investigations into the underlying mechanisms revealed that this effect was mediated by interpersonal empathy. In summary, current findings suggest that songs with prosocial lyrics increase interpersonal empathy, subsequently influencing people's online charitable donation behaviors in daily life.

Elimination of lymphatic filariasis: Where do we stand so far?

Lymphatic filariasis (LF), an asymptomatic, acute, and chronic condition in human beings, is the second most common vector-borne disease after malaria. According to the World Health Organization, there are 120 million LF cases detected in 81 tropical and subtropical countries, and one billion people are at risk. Therefore, the Global Program to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis was launched in 2000, with the primary objective of stopping LF transmission among all at-risk groups using mass drug administration (MDA), managing morbidities, and preventing LF-related impairments using a minimum treatment package. Additionally, other programs such as epidemiological assessment including National Filaria Control Program and World Health Organization recommended routine and pre-MDA microfilaremia surveys also implemented to stop the LF transmission. The routine filaria surveys were also carried out in around 2 000-4 000 individuals/month throughout the year whereas pre-MDA surveys were also conducted every year in approximately 4 000 individuals in four fixed and four random sites. Furthermore, the Transmission Assessment Survey was also conducted to check the risk of LF among primary school children. Moreover, potential diagnostic methods, systematic surveillance regimes, the Direct Network Report system, and regular trainings and awareness may be also effective in preventing the recurrence of LF. Hence, this review emphasizes the potential advocacy tools and various strategies as well as procedures for monitoring, which could be impactful in eliminating LF.

Regarding the investigation of damage to objects of cultural heritage in the conditions of war

The article is devoted to the consideration of the problem of investigation of crimes related to cultural values, which is carried out during the war. In the context of military conflict, cultural property is at risk of theft, destruction, trade and illegal transportation. Since these values are an integral part of national heritage and world culture, their protection and restoration are extremely important tasks. The main investigations of crimes related to the sphere of cultural values are considered, such as the formation of a team of specialists, the collection of necessary information, cooperation with international organizations and law enforcement agencies, the conduct of investigations and the collection of necessary information regarding this process. Adherence to the necessary algorithm of actions when working with evidence allows establishing the circumstances contributing to the commission of the crime, including the place, time, method and objects. It helps to understand the full picture of what happened and build a sequence of events. Evidence may point to individuals who may be connected to a cultural property crime. These may include fingerprints, video recordings, witness statements, etc., in particular, lead to identification. Collecting evidence allows you to confirm or deny the guilt of suspects. These may include physical evidence, electronic records, expert reports, etc. that provide an objective basis for deciding whether a person is guilty.
 Attention is drawn to the need for international cooperation for effective identification, investigation, return and restoration of cultural values.The importance of preserving cultural heritage as an element of national and world identity and a positive influence on social development is emphasized. The need to adopt effective legislative measures, create international cooperation mechanisms and raise public awareness of the problem of crimes against cultural values is emphasized.
 In order to eliminate this problem, it is necessary to develop clear recommendations that take into account the peculiarities of the investigation of crimes against cultural values during the war and identify directions for further research in this area. The results of this work can be used to improve the protection of cultural property and bring perpetrators to justice, ensuring the preservation of humanity’s inalienable heritage.

Impact of Covid-19 on Education System

Education is the base and the building of the any nation it crate the skills, knowledge, habit and standard of the students. Health is also the major concern of the nation that the responsibility of national government. Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an infection disease that is caused by the SARS-COV-2 Virus. Most people are infected with virus mild to our respiratory system illness Recover without special treatment. However, some will become seriously Illness and recover without special treatment. Some will require extra and serious medical treatment. The younger people are recovering fast and not need to extra treatment but the older people and those with underlying medical condition like cardio vascular disease, diabetes, chronic aspirator. Disease or cancer is more likely to develop illness. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the disease and how the virus spreads. The petrifying and severe impact of COVID-19 has the impact on over the India. Further the government around the word the government arrange the some new technology for the closure of the world. India also the part of national world lock down has closed all the institution. The major impact on the School going students to post-graduate students. Digital education is also come in nature for avoiding the disturbance of the students learning that the minimum spreading the virus of students until resume the classes. The education sector in India from school to university can use learners in the future. This paper shows the lights on the impact of COVID-19 on the education system.

Assessing environmental sustainability in top Middle East travel destinations: insights on the multifaceted roles of air transport amidst other energy indicators.

The Middle Eastern region is well-known for its flourishing tourism industry as the aviation sector contributes over US$213 billion to the regional GDP while air transport-related activities account for over 3.3 million jobs. Howbeit, the environmental impacts of this flourishing industry remain questionable. Hence, this study examines the tourism-emissions nexus in the Middle Eastern region from the perspective of air transportation while underscoring the multifaceted roles of major indicators like globalization, income, and energy use in the region. The empirical analysis of data spanning from 1975 to 2018 was conducted with advanced panel data analytical approach using the CS-ARDL technique. The sample selection was guided by available statistics on international tourist arrivals from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO 2020), with a focus on the case of the five leading travel destinations in the region including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Oman, and Qatar. The robustness of the evaluated outputs was checked after which result-based policy suggestions were enunciated for authorities and other regional stakeholders. The analysis indicated that air transportation although boosting tourism has constituted significant detrimental environmental impacts on the reviewed destinations with an estimated long-run elasticity of ∼1.03. Additionally, while the trio of globalization, energy utilization, and income expansion exacerbate environmental degradation, the lowest carbon-triggering magnitude was observed from the regional income expansion. Thus, while the aviation sector facilitates the growing quest to diversify from a primary sector-based economy (mainly resources exploitation) to other prospective service industries like tourism, the study posits the need for authorities to put measures in place to address the environmental side effect of air transportation.

Нравственные ценности народа в повести современного башкирского прозаика Мунира Кунафина «Плыл по океану рыжий остров»

The paper considers the spiritual and moral values of the people in the novella “The red island floated on the ocean” by the modern Bashkir writer Munir Kunafin. The aim of the study is to identify the ways of reflecting the peculiarities of the national attitude to the world in this novella. Scientific originality lies in the following: it is the first time that the specifics of reflecting the moral foundations of the people in modern Bashkir literature has been described using the example of Munir Kunafin’s novella. The researchers have analysed the national world based on age-old traditions recreated in the novella. The mythological images and symbols used by the writer to reveal the characters’ personalities, to show the vital values of the people have also been described. As a result of the study, the spiritual and moral foundations of the Bashkir people, in which family and traditions were perceived as basic values, have been identified.

Urbanization and its impacts on land surface temperature and sea surface temperature in a tourist region in Mexico from 1990 to 2020

The United Nations World Tourism Organization has stated that Mexico is the sixth most visited country, with nearly 40 million international tourists. However, tourism can be one of the key contributors to rapid urbanization, contributing to climate change and environmental impacts. One of the tourist areas with the highest urban growth in the Mexican Pacific is Mazatlán, receiving more than 2 million tourists each year. The goal of this study was to analyze urban expansion and its impacts on land surface temperature and sea surface temperature in a tourist region in Mexico from 1990 to 2020. A supervised classification was carried out using the support vector machine algorithm on Landsat images taken over the last 30 years, analyzing the relationship of this growth to land surface temperature (LST). We also analyze whether increases in LST on urban land are related to increases in ocean temperature (SST) adjacent to the city. It was found that in the 1990s the urban area, currently 80 km2, was 25 km2. Urban growth has been exponential, and greater than in some other coastal megacities that have 5 times the population of Mazatlán. The median LST in the 1990s was 30.8 and is currently ∼32.9 °C, but in an analysis of the city's temperatures by pixel we found areas with temperatures as high as 40 °C; e.g., malls and residential developments. These LST values are higher than those reported in other coastal cities located at similar latitudes. Median SST values were between 19.2 and 20.8 °C, so SST was not related to LST. From the 1990s to the 2020s, the city's urban area has grown by 303%. Therefore, LST values in summer could reach 40 °C, which would give this coastal city one of the highest LSTs in the world, with a non-permeable surface that would cause flooding throughout the hotel zone.

Tourist Intention to Visit Al-Jabbar Mosque using Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)

The tourism sector is one of the potential sectors to be developed in Indonesia. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) predicts the number of tourists will reach 1.8 billion by 2030. West Java has great potential for the development of religious tourism in Indonesia. During the 2022 year-end holidays, 1.18 million tourists came to Bandung. To develop this potential, the local government inaugurated the Al Jabbar Mosque, Gedebage, Bandung City, West Java to become a new religious tourism destination in the West Java region as a center for Islamic education, religious tourism and a representative public interaction space for West Java and even ASEAN citizens. This study aims to validate tourists' observations of religious tourism in the city of Bandung, especially the Al Jabbar Mosque. The aspects to be studied include attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral control, religiosity and knowledge of tourists in influencing the intention to visit and recommend religious tourism of the Al Jabbar Mosque. In realizing the objectives of this study, a quantitative research method is carried out, in the form of a survey, 15 question items will be made containing the theory of planned behavior. Questionnaire data will be processed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) data analysis.

The effect of brief digital mindfulness-based interventions on increasing online charitable behavior in Chinese adolescents.

Digital mindfulness-based interventions (d-MBIs) have garnered significant research interest in recent years due to their psychological benefits. However, little is known about their impact on prosocial behaviors. This study investigates how d-MBIs impact prosocial behaviors where time spent is money, with Chinese adolescents as the subjects, through an online charity task (www.freerice.com). 119 students from a high school in China, who were inexperienced with mindfulness meditation, participated in this randomized controlled trial. The d-MBI group (N = 39) received online MBI guidance, while the face-to-face mindfulness-based intervention (f-MBI, N = 43) group underwent mindfulness intervention under personal tutors. The active control group (N = 37) completed a crossword task. Data analysis first involved repeated measures variance analysis, including pre-and post-intervention assessments. Subsequently, a two-way variance analysis was performed, with gender (female and male) and group (d-MBI, f-MBI, active control) as independent variables and the number of grains as dependent variables for the three groups of participants. Results showed that d-MBIs effectively improved empathy and compassion in Chinese adolescents, leading to increased rice donations to the United Nations World Food Program. These results underscore the positive effect of d-MBIs on prosociality and suggest their applicability in beneficial real-world situations involving prosocial behaviors, extending beyond previous research primarily conducted in artificial and hypothetical scenarios.

Inflation surge of 2021-2023 and monetary policy in Eastern European countries

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the current global economic landscape, with a particular focus on Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, and Poland. The scope of this article is to examine central banks’ responses to the challenges posed by 2021-2023 inflation. The research employs a combination of scientific methods, including empirical analysis and quantitative research. It utilizes data from reputable sources like the World Bank, National Banks, and National Bureaus of Statistics to examine various economic indicators. Statistical software R is used for data analysis, including Cross-Correlation Function (CCF) analysis. In response to rising inflation, Moldova and Ukraine raised interest rates significantly. Moldova later eased rates gradually, while Ukraine maintained a high rate to safeguard its currency. Romania and Poland, with stronger economies, saw milder rate hikes and less inflation increase compared to other Eastern European nations, adopting a cautious and delayed approach and still not reducing their base rates. A critical aspect of the research is the implementation of cross-correlation function (CCF) analysis, which is used to explore the time-lagged correlations between different economic variables, such as the Base policy rate, Commodity price index and IPC. The analyses conducted have revealed two significant patterns: a deficiency in the proactive adjustment of base rates by central banks in response to inflation and the lead-lag relationship between ascending commodity prices and inflation. These findings underscore the cautious approach taken by central banks and their delayed response to the impact of external factors on inflation dynamics.

Evaluation of Heavy Metals Concentration in Poultry Feed and Poultry Products

The study was conducted to determine absorption of essential and non- essential trace minerals from poultry feed to poultry products. Poultry feed, liver, muscles and egg samples were collected from six poultry farms of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium and Iron were analysed in the samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometer. Iron, Lead and Chromium exceeded the permissible limits set by World Health Organization and National Research Council in Poultry feed. Lead was high in liver, breast muscles, thigh muscles, egg albumen and egg yolk. Chromium was found in feed, egg yolk, egg albumen and two (02) of the liver and breast muscle samples. Mercury was not detected in any of the samples. Liver contains significantly higher concentration of detected heavy metals as compared to thigh and breast muscles and egg yolk contained significantly high concentrations of Iron, Cadmium and Lead as compared to egg albumen. Standards requirements for feed manufacturers and poultry farmers should be maintained to monitor and mitigate routes of entry of contaminants in the food chain.

Weaving fates. Fryderyk Chopin – Viktor Kosenko

Statement of the problem. The relevance of revising the picture of artistic life of the first decades of the 20th century in Ukraine from modern scientific positions does not require additional argumentation. This is equally necessary as for the sound palette of the time, and as for the biographical characteristics of composers creativity, which really are full of lacunas. In the process of a detailed study of Viktor Kosenko’s creativity, various allusions to the lifework of his favorite composer, Fryderyk Chopin, become quite noticeable. Thus the question arises: are we not dealing, alongside the incomprehensible play of fate, with a certain subconscious desire of the Ukrainian composer to “reconstruct” the events of the past? Recent research and publications. A typologically justified comparison of the Ukrainian composer with the Polish genius, in the context of professional activity solely, appears in the work by O. Komenda (2020: 266) devoted to the phenomenon of the creative personality. The publications of the last time include the reconstructions of V. Kosenko’s biography initial period and the descriptions of his preserved personal archival fund, carried out in the process of organizing the corresponding catalog (Mudryk, 2016; Volosatykh, 2021; Ivanova, 2019). M. Tomaszewski’s monograph “Chopin: Man, Creativity, Resonance” (2005) gives interesting materials for comparing the heroes of our study according to various parameters, as well as the illustrated popular science book by A. Brożek and J. Jadacki (2010). Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The purpose of the study is to expand established ideas about the life and work of V. Kosenko, to introduce the composer’s creativity into the context of European musical culture, to overcome its sometimes outdated and somewhat primitive perception. In the first time, the thoughts on numerous points of intersection, tangential aspects, “mirror reflections” of creative activity and everyday life of two artists are proposed. Reaching the tasks set the complex interdisciplinary and cultural approaches, the historical and comparative methods were used. Results and conclusions. In general, the drawn parallels and analogies deepen and emphasize the contextual connections of Kosenko’s work, highlight the basic components of its “genetic code”, its continuity with the Western European romantic tradition (as well as sensitivity to the further evolution of the post-romantic situation); at the same time, they demonstrate the deep affinity of the spiritual constants of the Polish and Ukrainian national worlds. Overcoming the distorted outdated perception of V. Kosenko’s creativity and personality, considering them in a pan-European context based on modern scientific approaches are the promising directions for the musicologists’ further work on the reproduction of an up-to-date panorama of the artistic life of Ukraine in the first half of the 20th century as of a full-fledged component of world artistic and cultural processes.

Evaluation of Heavy Metals Concentration in Poultry Feed and Poultry Products

Impacts of climate pact on global oil and gas sector stocks

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of the Glasgow Climate Pact on global oil and gas sector stocks. Further, this study also examines if the nations' Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) and World Energy Trilemma Index (WETI) drive the abnormal returns around the event.Design/methodology/approachThe authors apply the event study analysis to 691 global oil and gas firms across 52 countries. Further, they apply the cross-sectional examination of cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) across 502 firms.FindingsThe emerging markets experienced significant negative abnormal returns on the event day. The CCPI negatively affects longer pre-event CARs, while WETI significantly negatively associates with CARs during longer pre- and post-event windows. Volatility is negatively related to pre- and post-event abnormal returns, while past returns positively drive pre-event period CARs but negatively drive post-event window CARs. This study finds an interesting association between liquidity (CACL) and CARs, as CACL positively drives pre-event CARs, but post-event CARs are negatively associated with CACL. The CARs do not significantly correlate with leverage, size and book-to-market ratio.Practical implicationsThis study's findings on the impact of climate risks on financial markets have significant implications for global regulatory bodies. Policymakers should reduce stock volatility and enhance environmental disclosures by publicly traded companies to accurately price and assess the potential impacts of climate risks. Governments should examine the effects of environmental restrictions on investor behavior, especially in developing countries with limited access to capital. Therefore, policymakers need to consider the far-reaching impacts of environmental regulations while introducing them.Originality/valueClimate risks are expected to impact the global financial market significantly. Prior studies provide limited evidence on how such climate pacts impact the oil and gas sector. Hence, this study, while bridging this gap, provides important implications for policymakers and stakeholders, particularly the emerging markets that are more sensitive.

Migrant Men's Views and Experiences towards Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and its Prevention and Care in OECD Countries: A Qualitative Systematic Review Protocol

Objective: This review aims to synthesise male migrants' views and experiences about the provision of care services for survivors of FGM/C and related prevention strategies in healthcare settings in OECD countries. Introduction: Concerns among survivors about FGM/C care access relate to the potential impact of newly enacted laws in the healthcare service delivery and whether their decisions to seek care are acceptable to their current or future male partners. Little is known about their male partners' views. Inclusion Criteria: The review will consider articles that include male migrants of all ages who have close relationships with survivors and live in OECD countries. In studies comprising (men and women), where perspectives of men are reported separately, they will be included. Non-OECD countries' studies will be excluded. Methods: The databases to be searched will include Ovid MEDLINE, EBSCOhost, CINAHL, ASSIA, Ovid Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, J.B.I. Databases and hand-searching of relevant journals. Unpublished studies will be searched through OpenGray and websites of national and international organisations working on FGM/C, including the National Health Services and World Health Organisation. The search will identify English-language publications from January 2002 onwards. Titles and abstracts will be reviewed first, and then full texts will be screened by two independent reviewers against the inclusion criteria. Any disagreements will be resolved through discussion or a third reviewer. The result will be critically appraised for methodological quality. Data extraction results will be synthesised and evaluated for credibility and dependability.

THE RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN INDONESIA IN THE CONTEXT OF ‘RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT’

The concept of ‘responsibility to protect’ (RtoP) was adopted at the United Nations World Summit by the Member States in 2005. The first pillar of this principle laid down in paragraph 138 of the World Summit Outcome Document of the UN General Assembly obliges states to protect their population from genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing. This paper aims to prove that Indonesia not only endorsed this idea at the diplomatic level but also implemented a mechanism which protects the indigenous community in the event of serious human rights violations. The Indonesian system is based on the state’s obligations arising from ratified international human rights treaties and the national institutions, such as the Indonesian National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) and Human Rights Courts that respond to the first pillar of the responsibility to protect. This paper presents the international and national legislation as well as the mechanism set up by the Indonesian authorities to protect indigenous people in cases of serious human rights violations. It focuses on examples of the actions undertaken by Komnas HAM and the ad hoc tribunal established at the permanent Human Rights Court in connection with situations where the rights of the Papuan people were violated. Despite the imperfection of the system, the conclusion is that the Indonesian state has the instruments necessary to protect the rights of the indigenous communities according to the RtoP principle embodied in paragraph 138 of the UN World Summit Outcome Document.

Water Quality Index and Human Health Risk Assessment of Drinking Water in Selected Urban Areas of a Mega City.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the quality of drinking water and assess the potential health hazards due to water contaminants in selected urban areas of Lahore, Pakistan. Water samples were collected from ten sites and analyzed for different physico-chemical parameters including turbidity, color, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), nitrates, fluoride, residual chlorine, and total hardness. Additionally, heavy metal (arsenic) and microbial parameters (E. coli) were also determined in the water samples. Drinking water quality evaluation indices, including the water quality index (WQI) for physico-chemical and biological parameters and human health risk assessment (HHRA) for heavy metal were estimated using the analytical results of the target parameters. It was found in most of the areas that the levels of arsenic, fluoride, TDS, and residual chlorine were higher than those recommended by the National Environmental Quality Standard (NEQS) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. In addition to the physico-chemical parameters, microbial content (E. coli) was also found in the drinking water samples of the selected areas. Statistical analysis of the results indicated that levels of target parameters in drinking water samples are significantly different between sampling sites. The WQI for all physico-chemical and microbial parameters indicated that drinking water in most of the areas was unfit and unsuitable (WQI > 100) for drinking purposes except for the water of Bhatti Gate and Chota Gaon Shahdara with a WQI of 87 and 91, respectively. Drinking water in these areas had a very poor WQI rating. According to HHRA, drinking water from the selected sites was found to be of high risk to children and adults. The carcinogenic risk of arsenic indicated that all samples were of high risk to both adults and children (4.60 and 4.37 × 10-3, respectively). Regular monitoring of drinking water quality is essential, and proactive measures must be implemented to ensure the treatment and availability of safe drinking water in urban areas.

Sociological Study of the Integration Policy of Ukrainian in the World Cultural Space

Assess the factors influencing the integration of Ukrainian musical culture into the global artistic space. The modern era of globalization has led to increased interaction and mutual influence between cultures, creating a new space for the development of national cultural spheres and world art. As national cultures continue to interact and blend, the boundaries between states are weakened and a singular global cultural environment is formed. Conduct a research project exploring the practical aspects of incorporating Ukrainian music into the global cultural scene. The study reveals that integration processes have significantly impacted Ukrainian musical culture within the global artistic space. However, obstacles such as a lack of qualified teachers and graduates in musical specialties, as well as a low level of knowledge in culture and art, hinder full integration. Efforts to promote Ukrainian music include digitizing the archive of national Ukrainian music and organizing online music concerts. To achieve full integration into the global artistic community, it is essential to improve the qualifications and cultural knowledge of teachers and graduates.

Циклические процессы на рынке туризма: общие закономерности и специфика проявления

History has proved that the progressive movement of any economic system is not lin-early. The periods of intensive growth are replaced by deep crisis phenomena. It was the severe global crises of the XXI century that forced us once again to pay attention to the subject of cyclicality and to consider the specificity of this issue in various in-dustries, in particular – on the example of the sphere of tourism. In modern science, especially in the economy, there are different theoretical justifications of cyclosis, the systems of cycles are proposed depending on the temporary length. There is a hy-pothesis about the interaction of cycles with each other. Of particular interest is the consideration of the spatio-temporal manifestations of cyclic vibrations. In tourism, there are a number of approaches to the allocation of groups of countries. So at the moment, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) divides the countries of the world into 5 macro-regions. Also widely known in world tourism studies are the center-periphery structure in which the center can be distinguished (economically highly developed countries with a mature international tourism system and integrated tourist specialization), a semi-periphery (medium-developed, often rel-atively new on the country's tourist map with intensively forming with the support of the state The polyfunctional system of international tourism) and the periphery (eco-nomically backward countries with an underdeveloped international tourism market, the enclave nature of development and mainly natural-oriented types of international tourism). The purpose of this work is to investigate the mathematically sound mani-festations of cyclicity in the field of tourism on the example of a number of countries of the world, as well as establish possible patterns that manifest in the development cycles of the distinguished groups of regions. To conduct empirical studies, as well as to increase the objectivity of the diagnosis of cyclic vibrations, it is proposed to use a modern mathematical apparatus. In this work, autocorrelation analysis and spectral (Fourier) analysis were used.
