The Influence of News Agencies on Print and Online Publications/Newspapers

The purpose of the study is to analyse the dynamics of the influence of news agencies on the content of print and online publications within the media environment of Kazakhstan. The following methods were used: hypothetical and deductive, content analysis, and comparative. The results of the study have determined that rapid and intensive changes have been taking place in the Kazakh mass media and communications market in recent years, which are especially evident in the market of printed and online publications. It was found that news agencies, which are the standard of reliable data, are the main sources for newspaper materials. However, they still have the greatest influence on state publications, unlike private regional ones, which use publications of large-scale services more often. Content analysis of publications has determined that the number of citations by newspaper publications directly depends on the scale of events. The dynamics of news data from 2020 to 2023 highlighted that the number of mentions of the news agency in online and print publications is decreasing over time. In turn, all subjects of the media environment of Kazakhstan are reorienting themselves to the audience, actively using various platforms, social media, and digital opportunities.

The Stakeholders’ Perception on the Development of Baguio City Public Market

The development of Baguio City Public Market (BCPM) is awarded to SM Prime Holdings Incorporation (SMPHI) by the City of Baguio headed by Mayor Benjamin Magalong. Thus, the researcher aimed to understand and describe the perceived awareness of the active stakeholders participating in this development. As such, the researcher attempts to establish how the different stakeholders response to the development of BCPM using qualitative content analysis. Several online publications were subjected to analysis which provided the researcher the needed data. Thus, the paper identified five active stakeholders which are BCPM Vendors/ Baguio Market Vendor Groups, The Local Citizen, Tongtongan ti umili (TTU), Media Groups and Tourists. These stakeholders all possess power, legitimacy and urgency. The stakeholders’ perceived awareness revolves on the idea that there is a development undergoing in BCPM, specifically the stakeholders believe in two opposing ideas. First, the development is in good hand as the stakeholders support the action of the City Mayor. Second, the stakeholders think that the city’s socio- cultural and environment aspect is again threatened because of the participation of a big corporation which is the SMPHI.

Street Begging among School Age Children and Social Protection Policy in South western, Nigeria

This study discussed the factors that caused street begging among school age children and investigated social protection policies aimed at eradicating the menace in Southwestern, Nigeria. It also examined the impact of the social protection policies on street begging among school-age children and assessed the challenges confronting social protection interventions. The study’s primary data were sourced through multi-choice structured questionnaires and semi-structured interview guides. The study administered one hundred and fifty copies of questionnaires on teachers, parents, and school age children in Ondo, Oyo and Lagos States. Interviews were conducted with twelve 12 respondents on the basis of four from each state based on their experience of street begging by school-age children and social protection policies meant to tackle the menace. Purposively sampled interviewees were from ministries of education and schools, with two education officials from each of the three states and two school principals from each of the three states. Secondary data were from books, relevant journals, government publications, policy guides, gazettes, and online publications. We analyzed quantitative data with the use of descriptive and inferential statistical tools, and qualitative data with content analysis. The study showed poverty, unemployment, broken homes, and poor feeding and other factors as responsible for street begging among school age children. Some of the social protection policies that are in place to eradicate street begging by school-age children in Southwestern Nigeria include Zero Project, Better Education Service Delivery for All, Integrated Qur'anic and Tsangaya Education, and other domesticated policies of the federal government. Social protection policies in Southwestern, Nigeria are impactful in reducing street begging but poor funding, change in government, overstretched facilities, and corruption are some of the challenges militating against them. The study concluded that street begging by school age children in Southwestern, Nigeria is a social menace that requires intensification of existing social protection policies and serious government attention.

Realistic simulation in the preparation and administration of medications: a systematic review

Adverse drug events are multi-causal and interrelated, and it is important to know the causes and create prevention strategies. Realistic simulation is one of the methods widely used to discover the cause of these iatrogenies and as an effective method in the training of nursing professionals and students. The aim of this study is to identify and map how realistic simulations in the preparation and administration of medicines are being used in teaching and in the scientific community.

As for the professional category, 29% had a multidisciplinary approach; as for the profile of the scenario used in the simulations, 43% involved scenarios for preventing iatrogenic events in adults. As for the aim of each study, 37% centred on simulation as a teaching resource. It was concluded that realistic simulation is an effective pedagogical tool for developing skills in students and professionals, it is a tool widely used to investigate the cause of adverse drug events and also to train professionals and students in the preparation and administration of medicines; it was shown that the lack of material resources is among the main causes for the occurrence of adverse drug events.

Application research of radiomics in colorectal cancer: A bibliometric study.

Radiomics has shown great potential in the clinical field of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, few bibliometric studies have systematically analyzed existing research in this field. The purpose of this study is to understand the current research status and future development directions of CRC. Search the English documents on the application of radiomics in the field of CRC research included in the Web of Science Core Collection from its establishment to October 2023. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used to conduct bibliometric and visual analysis of online publications related to countries/regions, authors, journals, references, and keywords in this field. A total of 735 relevant documents published from Web of Science Core Collection to October 2023 were retrieved, and a total of 419 documents were obtained based on the screening criteria, including 376 articles and 43 reviews. The number of publications is increasing year by year. Among them, China publishes the most relevant documents (n = 238), which is much higher than Italy (n = 69) and the United States (n = 63). Tian Jie is the author with the most publications and citations (n = 17, citations = 2128), GE Healthcare is the most productive institution (n = 26), Frontiers in Oncology is the journal with the most publications (n = 60), and European Radiology is the most cited journal (n = 776). Hot spots for the application of radiomics in CRC include magnetic resonance, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, survival, texture analysis, and machine learning. These directions are the current hot spots for the application of radiomics research in CRC and may be the direction of continued development in the future. Through bibliometric analysis, the application of radiomics in CRC has been increasing year by year. The application of radiomics improves the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis, prediction, and prognosis of CRC. The results of bibliometrics analysis provide a valuable reference for the research direction of radiomics. However, radiomics still faces many challenges in the future, such as the single nature of the data source which may affect the comprehensiveness of the results. Future studies can further expand the data sources and build a multicenter public database to more comprehensively reflect the research status and development trend of CRC radiomics.

Hybrid recommender system model for digital library from multiple online publishers

Background The demand for online education promotion platforms has increased. In addition, the digital library system is one of the many systems that support teaching and learning. However, most digital library systems store books in the form of libraries that were developed or purchased exclusively by the library, without connecting data with different agencies in the same system. Methods A hybrid recommender system model for digital libraries, developed from multiple online publishers, has created a prototype digital library system that connects various important knowledge sources from multiple digital libraries and online publishers to create an index and recommend e-books. The developed system utilizes an API-based linking process to connect various important sources of knowledge from multiple data sources such as e-books on education from educational institutions, e-books from government agencies, and e-books from religious organizations are stored separately. Then, a hybrid recommender system suitable for users was developed using Collaborative Filtering (CF) model together with Content-Based Filtering. This research purposed the hybrid recommender system model, which took into account the factors of book category, reading habits of users, and sources of information. The evaluation of the experiments involved soliciting feedback from system users and comparing the results with conventional recommendation methods. Results A comparison of NDCG scores was conducted for Hybrid Score 50:50, Hybrid Score 20:80, Hybrid Score 80:20, CF-score and CB-score. The experimental result was found that the Hybrid Score 80:20 method had the highest average NDCG score. Conclusions Using a hybrid recommender system model that combines 80% Collaborative Filtering and 20% Content-Based Filtering can improve the recommender method, leading to better referral efficiency and greater overall efficiency compared to traditional approaches.

Detecting Source Code Plagiarism in Student Assignment Submissions Using Clustering Techniques

In pragmatic courses, graduate students are required to submit programming assignments, which have been susceptible to various forms of plagiarism. Detecting counterfeited code in an academic setting is of paramount importance, given the prevalence of publications and papers. Plagiarism, defined as the unauthorized replication of written work without proper acknowledgment, has become a critical concern with the advent of information and communication technology (ICT) and the widespread availability of scholarly publications online. However, the extensive use of freeware text editors has posed challenges in detecting source code plagiarism. Numerous studies have investigated algorithms for revealing different types of plagiarism and detecting source code plagiarism. In this research, we propose an innovative strategy that combines TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) modifications with K-means clustering, achieving a remarkable precision rate of 99.2%. Additionally, we explore the hierarchical clustering method, which estimates an even higher precision rate of 99.5% compared to previous techniques. To implement our approach, we utilize the Python programming language along with relevant libraries, providing a robust and efficient system for source code plagiarism detection in student assignment submissions.

The discursive formation of British national identity: the lexical aspect

British national identity has been in the zone of constant study by scientists for a long period of time, but after Brexit, interest in this topic has increased significantly. The British nation, especially the part of it that was on the side of the Eurosceptics, after Brexit was aimed at strengthening the British identity and completely destroying any influence of globalization on the British nation. But despite the expectations of the British, many scientists agree that the national British identity is still in crisis. Thus, the object of this research is the culture-bound lexical elements of the English-language political discourse of online mass media, and the purpose is to identify the current state of British national identity through the analysis of the words-realities of the British political discourse. Current works (not older than five years) by Russian and foreign scientists in the fields of political discourse and national British identity form the methodological basis of the research. The analysis of the culture-bound lexical elements of English-language political discourse is carried out on the basis of online media texts for the period January–April 2024, which makes the study innovative and reflects the trends of modern linguistic science. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the national British identity is in a state of crisis. Brexit and subsequent events gave the British nation hope for the ascent of national identity and the return of its former imperial greatness, but analyzing the current articles of British online publications on political topics, it becomes evident that international processes still prevail over the British identity. The further perspective of the research lies in the field of studying the discursive formation of British identity from the point of view of syntactic, grammatical, and social aspects.

Godfatherism and Nigeria's 2023 General Elections: The Case of Delta State

This paper focuses on the issue of godfatherism and its impact on the 2023 general elections, with a particular emphasis on Delta State, Nigeria. It raises questions about certain facets of Nigeria's democratic governance that have not been adequately examined, raising questions about the nation's unique problems. The February 2023 general elections in Nigeria were not without flaws as usual, and many issues militating against the consolidation of democratic rule in Delta state since 1999 are ubiquitous. The study considers the role of the godfather in facilitating or stunting democratic growth in Nigeria in general and Delta State in particular. Usurping the place of the masses through their manipulative tendencies of selecting candidates instead of free, fair, and credible elections or the abuse of the rule of law are common in the polity. The historical method of description and analysis was adopted, underpinned by Marx Weber's theory of power, to interpret the work further. The study interrogated both primary and secondary sources related to it. Primary sources, such as oral interviews and newspapers, and secondary sources, such as books, news magazines, and online publications, were consulted. The study revealed that godfathers are gatekeepers in the polity, and their functions are overbearing to the masses. The study also identified that because the masses are not allowed to vote or their votes no longer count, Godfathers select leaders who are not representative of the people and are not accountable to them. The findings further indicate that forcing the godfather out of politics may be dangerous, considering their power and position in the government. It, therefore, concludes making laws that will accommodate them might be a better alternative. Keywords: Godfatherism, Impact, 2023 elections, Delta State, Nigeria.

《数据论文出版元数据》国家标准研制与实践

In August 2023, the national standard for GB/T 42813-2023 Data paper publication metadata was officially released. This standard specifies the content and framework of metadata required for data paper publication, including dataset metadata, data paper metadata, as well as their description methods, extension principles, and methods. It is applicable to the description, preservation, online publishing, and sharing services associated with data papers and their corresponding datasets. The release of this standard marks the first comprehensive agreement at the national level regarding the new mode of data paper publishing, namely the open sharing of scientific data, which has addressed the prior absence of standardized guidance in the field of data publishing. It facilitates data publishing institutions in promptly releasing data papers and their associated data, providing support for the rights and protection of scientific data. The standard holds significant importance in promoting the establishment of an open and shared ecosystem for scientific data. Since its publication, certain data journals or scientific data publishing platforms have begun adopting the elements and definitions specified in the standard, thus engaging in a more extensive practice.

Beyond blood sugar: exploring the anti-inflammatory frontier of antidiabetic medications to alleviate diabetic complications

Background and objective. Inflammation is closely correlated with diabetes and diabetic complications. Research has shown that individuals with diabetes exhibit an upregulation of circulatory proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in a chronic state of low-grade inflammation. The participation of inflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, particularly cardiovascular and renal complications, is well-established. Targeting inflammation may produce prominent effects in improving the clinical condition of diabetic patients, reducing the progression of complications, and promoting glucose uptake by insulin-sensitive tissues. This review article aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory effect of antidiabetics beyond their hypoglycemic action and the potential effects of such antidiabetics in reducing diabetic complications. Materials and methods. Based on relevant online publications using the terms anti-diabetics, anti-inflammatory, diabetic complications, and inflammatory mediators up to February 2024 on PubMed and Google Scholar were utilized to construct this review. Results. The majority of antidiabetic drugs pose an indirect effect on inflammation through the hypogly­cemic effect. However, many antidiabetics have an additional anti-inflammatory mechanism independently of their hypoglycemic effects, which augments their anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusion. Suppression of the inflammatory response by anti-diabetics and achieving homeostatic control is an effective approach for preventing diabetic complications.

Современные способы нарушения неприкосновенности частной жизни

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the methods of committing crimes provided for inArticle 137 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation. Special attention is paid to the influence of information technology on the formation of individual criminal behavior: the choice of ways to commit crimes that violate privacy (in 2020-2021, 87% of cases are accounted for by information technology). A significant factor in the analysis of crimes violating privacy is the change in the statistical accounting of the methods of committing crimes: since 2022, the forms of federal statistical observation reflect the methods of committing crimes in the field of information and telecommunications technologies provided for in Part 3 of Article 137 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation. Methods: The research methodology consists of general scientific methods of cognition of social processes, in particular, the socio-legal phenomenon of crime (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, system-structural method, measurement, description, abstraction), as well as private scientific methods - document analysis, statistical methods. As an empirical base, separate forms of statistical observationof theFederal State Institution “Main Information and Analysis Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation”,information from the Internet resource “Judicial and Regulatory Acts of the Russian Federation”, as well as information from other online publications were used. Results: In this article, individual ways of violating privacy are selected as the subject of study due to their significant diversity. In particular, the following methods of committing crimes, confirmed by statistical data, were considered: the Internet, social networks, computer equipment, instant messaging tools, mobile communication tools, software tools.

Verbalisation of emotions in Ukrainian online media

The relevance of the research is determined by the tendency of modern media discourse towards emotionality, evaluativeness, the importance of emotional language means the process of perceiving a journalistic text. Undeniable today is the growing popularity of digital media, which emphasizes the need to learn the language of emotions in the online environment. The subject of studies is language techniques and means of emotional expression in the texts of national news resources "Ukrainska Pravda" and "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia". The study aims to monitor and systematize the most common verbal markers of emotionality in online publications, to highlight the dominant connotative emotional language units in the context of the analyzed topics. The research methodology includes a complex of general scientific methods: conceptual analysis, content analysis, induction, analysis and synthesis, comparison, systematization an classification. The novelty of intelligence lies in typology language means and methods of expressing the emotional spectrum in online texts. As a result of the research, it was found that an important component of the media text is the audience's emotional reaction to it. Emotions are verbalized with the help of emotives i.e. language units of different levels (lexical, morphological, syntactic, stylistic). The content analysis of the all-Ukrainian online editions "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" and "Ukrainska Pravda" from September 2020 to March 2021 showed the dominance of emotions with a negative connotation, corresponding to the emotions and experiences of journalists and recipients regarding conflict i.e. sensitive topics (Covid-19, violation of human rights and freedoms, violence, corruption). Metaphors and epithets, foreign vocabulary, qualitatively evaluative adjectives and idioms, subjective modal syntactic constructions with evaluative semantics, colloquial and colloquial vocabulary, neologisms are most often used. Emotionally expressive means demonstrate the dominance of a pejorative construction of reality, cause a predicted emotional effect in the audience and tend to model the language picture of modern media texts in the online space.

Robotic-assisted uterine transposition followed by anatomic pelvic repositioning for a patient with intramural fibroids and rectal cancer

To report the first described case of robotic-assisted utero-ovarian transposition followed by anatomic repositioning in the pelvis and cervicovaginal anastomosis in a woman with uterine fibroids, which was performed for fertility preservation in the context of pelvic radiation for rectal cancer. Description of technique and live-action narrated surgical footage showing uterine transposition and repositioning. University hospital. A 36-year-old woman with a new diagnosis of cT3N2M0 rectal adenocarcinoma planned for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and pelvic radiation and desired fertility preservation permissive of future pregnancy. A transvaginal ultrasound revealed a 5-cm posterior leiomyoma and a normal endometrial cavity. The patient elected for utero-ovarian transposition before chemoradiation. The patient included in this video gave consent for publication and posting of the video online, including on social media, the journal website, scientific literature websites, and other applicable sites. Per institutional guidelines, an Institutional Review Board review was not required. Robotic-assisted utero-ovarian transposition was performed in an inpatient setting 2 weeks after ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval. She was given a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist for menstrual suppression after oocyte retrieval. The uterus and adnexa were transposed en bloc to the upper abdomen, with perfusion via retroflected infundibulopelvic ligaments. Intravenous indocyanine green was administered intraoperatively to visualize uterine perfusion. Three weeks postoperatively, the patient underwent surgical management of small bowel obstruction, which was successfully managed with laparoscopic adhesiolysis. The patient subsequently completed chemoradiation and had a complete response to the rectal tumor. She therefore elected for surveillance. Seven months after transposition and 2 months after completion of treatment, the patient underwent uncomplicated robotic-assisted utero-ovarian anatomic repositioning in the pelvis with cervicovaginal anastomosis. Chromopertubation confirmed tubal patency. Restoration of normal pelvic anatomy and resumption of reproductive physiology. At her 4-month postoperative visit, the cervix and vagina were normal in appearance. The patient reported the return of spontaneous menses and sexual activity without complications. This case is unique because of the presence of bulky intramural uterine fibroids. The described technique may be useful for selected cancer patients who desire to carry a pregnancy after pelvic radiation for cancer treatment, and demonstrates that patients considering utero-ovarian transposition need not be excluded solely on the basis of the presence of uterine fibroids.

Trends of Modern Media Industry: Mobile Applications as a New Format of Media

The study explores the specifics of the development of the media landscape in modern Russia. Attention is focused on the changes occurring in the information field, particularly on the issue of forming new channels of distribution and transforming the ways in which audiences consume journalistic products. The use of mobile applications is addressed, which complement and enhance the significance of online publications as part of the media segment. Key characteristics of mobile devices are emphasized. Functional aspects of content transmission and restrictions imposed on media content are highlighted. Stages of transforming media content for mobile applications are identified. The relevance of the research is justified by the expansion of media integration processes and information and communication technologies development, leading to modifications in mass media. A practical study of media platforms for cell phones at federal and regional levels is conducted. A comparative analysis of the mobile applications RBC Daily and LipetskMedia is carried out. It is proven that the difference in the presentation of images of reality through mobile applications and other content distribution channels depends solely on the editorial information and business policies in the realm of mobile devices. At this stage, the emergence of financially successful mass media where mobile applications serve as the sole content distribution channel is entirely possible.

Theatre without borders: Evaluating e-book publication of play texts in the Nigerian educational space

The theatre ecology had embraced digital technology long before the Covid-19 pandemic entered our lives. The orange economy, as we know it, is driven by creativity from the arts and humanities as well as the sciences. Playwriting pedagogy, as was traditionally taught, pointed to the stage, printing press and elitist publishers as windows to the world. The theatre arts is a discipline that has a value chain of products and services. Adopting the survey and historical-analytic methods, this paper focuses on playwriting and the playwrightpreneur’s options to the conventional style of publishing for product spread and economic empowerment. The excitement and apprehensions of digitisation on this venture are interrogated via an online survey on consumers of play texts, on the one hand, and playwrights on the other hand. The researcher argues that the availability of online stores does not necessarily translate to the availability of e-books. The results show that even though we are in the digital era, the acceptability of e-books is low compared to hard- copy books. It also reveals that knowledge of online publishing is poor. The gains of digitising theatre projects are illuminated. Furthermore, teachers and students of theatre arts studies will find this option complementary to the age-long style of hard copy inventories as institutional or personal collections. The paper concludes that adequate information on how to publish play texts online is urgently needed especially for writers of dramatic texts. It recommends that workshops on online publication be organised for teachers and students of playwriting.
