THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON THE CURRENCY MARKET OF UKRAINE
Authors: Honchar Halina , Chornovol Alla , Shybirina Svitlana
Published: April 2021

У статті висвітлено трактування дефініції валютного ринку та його суб’єкти. Проаналізовано вплив розгортання епідеміологічної кризи на основні показники валютного ринку України. Встановлено, що в березні 2020 р. чис­тий продаж валюти центральним банком склав 2,2 млрд дол. США, регулятор згладжував коливання в бік знецінення гривні під час запровадження карантинних заходів – обсяги чистої купівлі валюти за рік перевищили 1 млрд дол. США. Завдяки розгортанню епідеміологічної кризи значно посилився попит на іноземну валюту, зокрема на долари США та євро. Це зумовлено тим, що громадяни розглядають подані валюти як спосіб захисту від можливих інфляційних коливань під час кризи, тому і виявляють підвищений попит на іноземну валюту через інфляційні очікування (сальдо обсягу операцій з готівковою іноземною валютою +84,6 млн дол. США в еквіваленті; у порівнянні з 2019 р. – 181,5 млн дол. США в еквіваленті). В свою чергу, це посилило девальваційний тиск на гривню, а сальдо інтервенцій у грудні 2020 р. стало від’ємним (-289,2 млн дол. США). Такі показники свідчать про кризові явища на валютному ринку, зростання попиту на іноземні валюти (а відповідно, і зростання обсягів доларизації економіки в кризовий час) та посилення інфляційних процесів. З’ясовано фактори, які стримують подальший розвиток валютного ринку. Запропоновано сценарії розвитку вітчизняного валютного ринку після пандемії коронавірусу.

“Painted” CNT@Au Nanoparticles: A Nanohybrid Electrocatalyst of Direct Methanol Oxidation
Authors: Bensghaïer Asma , Bhullar Viplove , Kaur Navdeep , Lo Momath , Bdiri Myriam , Mahajan Aman , Chehimi Mohamed
Published: April 2021

In a world of constant rush towards novel energy sources, hybrid nanomaterials have raised huge interest as their components can synergistically improve the expected performances in terms of power. In this regard, direct methanol oxidation (DMO) is among the most investigated reactions for implementation in portable and other devices. Herein, we report the design of gold-decorated CNT-aryl nanohybrids as electrocatalyst of DMO. In a first step, Azure A (AA), Neutral Red (NR) and Congo Red (CR) dye diazonium salts were reacted with CNTs to provide CNT-Dye nanoscale platforms for the immobilization of gold NPs. This step was conducted with CNT-Dye platforms evenly spread over glassy carbon (GC) electrodes. The CNT-Dye@Au nanohybrid electrode materials served for DMO electrocatalysis. Cyclic voltammograms show that bare CNT-Dye nanohybrids exhibit high electrocatalytic activity, particularly for the CNT-CR nanohybrid which returned a 3-fold improvement. With anchored Au NPs, a further 4 time remarkable increase in the oxidation peak intensity was achieved (i.e. about 12-fold the peak intensity recorded in the absence of any nanocatalyst). The forward to the backward anodic peak current density ratio Jf/Jb was found to be as high as is 1.68. This work provides a simple, elegant and efficient approach for designing robust, nanohybrid electrocatalyst for DMO, based on the smart combination of CNTs, diazotized dyes and gold NPs.

Authors: Syed Rafi  , Kantipudi Rambabu
Published: April 2021

For the simultaneous evaluation of Aceclofenac and Misoprostol using RP-HPLC, an accurate, rapid, economical, and straightforward, reliable assay technique was developed and demonstrated. The proposed method achieved effective chromatographic separation by using an inertsil ODS column (150mmx4.6mm, 3.5), acetonitrile, and 0.1 percent orthophosphoric acid (OPA) (50:50 v/v) as a mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and a wavelength of 227 nm. The retention time (Rt) of Aceclofenac was 3.189 minutes and Misoprostol was 6.966 minutes. Chromatography was performed isocratically at room temperature with a run time of around 10 minutes. The suitability parameters of the system were investigated by multiplying the quality six times, and the results were well within acceptable limits. The linearity analysis was conducted at 10 percent to 150 percent stages, with a regression coefficient of 0.999. Aceclofenac and Misoprostol had LOD and LOQ values of 0.063 ug/ml, 0.063 g/ml, and 0.208 ug/ml and 0.208 g/ml, respectively. The drug was recovered at a rate of 98-102 percent, which means that the recovery is within reasonable limits. The validation results were satisfactory, and the approach was found to be suitable for bulk and formulation analysis. As a result, it was obvious that the proposed approach was ideal for routine pharmaceutical preparation review and quality control. Validation results were very close to the appropriate maximum. RSD values of less than 2.0 percent indicate that this approach is accurate and precise. The above method was used to perform a retail formulation assay, which showed that 100.24 percent of the formulation was present. Degradation stress conditions in acidic, alkaline, peroxide, and thermal media were investigated. Under ideal conditions, the established method provided efficient, precise, and accurate results. According to ICH guidelines, the approach was justified.
Military leadership: A systematic literature review of current research
Authors:   University of Malaya, Malaysia
Published: April 2021

Although leadership is generally a complex concept, its application is crucial, especially for military organisations. Many have believed that leadership theory begins with research on military leaders. However, empirical studies on military leadership in recent years have been scarce. This study set out to analyse the recent extant literature on military leadership by applying a systematic literature review methodology. Guided by the PRISMA technique, two databases, Scopus and Web of Science, were employed, resulting in 16 related empirical studies. Further analysis of the studies revealed four significant themes: (1) leader attributes and traits; (2) leadership development; (3) adverse situations and environments, and (4) policy, guiding principles, and standards. The themes are conceptualised into a proposed military leadership framework, and several recommendations are reconciled based on the proposed framework. Leader traits and attributes remain a potential area for future research on military leadership coherent with other themes. The review also indicates that a number of further research directions should to be considered as the extant military leadership studies were only prevalent within the USA and several European countries as settings, mixed methodology is still an underutilised approach, and high ranking military leaders as well as gender studies were found to be other promising future research directions.

Published: April 2021

In the furniture industry in Malaysia, the factors that influence the export value of Bumiputera furniture SME manufacturers have already been discussed, and with the lack of clusters that could continue the survival of Bumiputera manufacturers in this industry is getting worse. Although the furniture sector has the highest export value, the participation of Bumiputera furniture SME is very low compared to others. This is disrupted as the current Bumiputera furniture SME is incapable, due to the increasing competition or weakness in different aspects of entrepreneurship and other factors, to continue the business sustainability. This article aims to discuss the design capabilities that affect the performance of Bumiputera furniture SME manufacturers and how to overcome through strategic design approaches. In this study, a set of questionnaire was distributed to 30 companies and analyzed using the IBM Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) to test the reliability. The further analysis was the use of frequency analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). The results have important implication for the future direction of research to improve organizational performance of Bumiputera furniture SME manufacturers

Published: April 2021

In the modern era, financial institutions serve as facilitators of economic progress and advancement. It is, therefore, necessary that people have equitable access to these financial institutions and the services they offer especially in emerging economies like India. Notwithstanding that the Indian banking sector has grown tremendously over the years in terms of performance and outreach, a large number of people have limited or zero access to the financial services. Financial Inclusion thus emerges as a necessity for it is equally beneficial to the banks as well as to the unserved population vis-a-vis the provision of new avenues for the former and financial services for the latter. In this study, we used panel data covering Indian states over a period of five years, from 2009 to 2013, to assess the factors influencing financial inclusion in the country. This study found that distinct state-effect is prevalent among the Indian states. Further, the number of factories as a proxy for industrialization and outstanding credit as a proxy for loans and advancements significantly reveal that income and employment generating schemes must be launched by the Government of India and the Central Bank of India keeping in mind the underprivileged lot.

Published: April 2021

Perhitungan sentence similarity dilakukan dengan menghitung nilai kemiripan antar katanya. Pada beberapa penelitian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya, perhitungan sentence similarity hanya berhenti pada nilai kemiripan antar kata pada kalimat sebagai nilai akhirnya. Sedangkan pada perhitungan sentence similarity bertujuan untuk menghitung nilai kemiripan keseluruhan dalam bentuk kalimat menjadi satu nilai kemiripan secara utuh sebagai hasil akhir. Perhitungan word similarity berdasarkan contextual-nya dihitung menggunakan Word Similarity for Java (WS4J) dengan tiga pendekatan yaitu wu palmer, lin, dan path. Menghitung nilai kemiripan menggunakan WS4J hanya dapat diuraikan berdasarkan kemiripan antar kata, sehingga dilakukan pembobotan menggunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Ada dua aspek yang digunakan sebagai kriteria pada perhitungan AHP untuk menentukan nilai bobot kriterianya yaitu noun, dan verb. Dari hasil tersebut, kemudian dilakukan pembobotan dengan mengakumulasikan matriks nilai word similarity dengan nilai bobot kriteria masing-masing untuk memperoleh nilai sentence similarity.

Published: April 2021

Advances in metagenomics have facilitated population studies of associations between microbial compositions and host properties, but strategies to minimize biases in these population analyses are needed. However, the effects of storage conditions, including freezing and preservation buffer, on microbial populations in fecal samples have not been studied sufficiently. In this study, we investigated metagenomic differences between fecal samples stored in different conditions. We collected 46 fecal samples from patients with lung cancer. DNA quality and microbial composition within different storage Methods were compared throughout 16S rRNA sequencing and post analysis. DNA quality and sequencing results for two storage conditions (freezing and preservation in buffer) did not differ significantly, whereas microbial information was better preserved in buffer than by freezing. In a metagenomic analysis, we observed that the microbial compositional distance was small within the same storage condition. Taxonomic annotation revealed that many microbes differed in abundance between frozen and buffer-preserved feces. In particular, the abundances of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes varied depending on storage conditions. Microbes belonging to these phyla differed, resulting in biases in population metagenomic analysis. We suggest that a unified storage Methods is requisite for accurate population metagenomic studies.
Alternative method for the transformation of Capsicum species
Authors: Mate Toth , Zoltan Szabo , Zoltan Toth
Published: April 2021

Capsicum (pepper) species have high economic values as vegetable crops and medicinal plants. Most of the Capsicum is known to be recalcitrant to plant regeneration in vitro, and to genetic transformation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. However, genetic improvement against pathogens requires discovering new pest resistance genes and revealing their functions and mechanism in vitro. The development of improved transformation methods serves this purpose, which needs a binary vector technology carrying the gene of interest to be transferred into the host plants. Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation serves as a useful alternative way for the Capsicum transformation. The A. rhizogenes transformation compared to the A. tumefaciens transformation has the advantage that the method needs no regeneration step in vitro. Our goal is to obtain a highly efficient transformation system that can be used to study the functions of different genes in Capsicum annuum varieties. Our study’s further goal is to validate and describe the candidate gene (Me1) involved in resistance against root-knot nematode species.

Microbiota are vital for the development, physiology, and vectorial capacity of mosquitoes. The composition and role of microbiota in Anopheles species, especially Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi, have been extensively studied, but little is known about the microbiota of Anopheles species in China. We characterized the microbial communities of Anopheles dirus, Anopheles sinensis, and Anopheles lesteri by 16S rRNA sequencing. There were distinct differences in the composition of microbiota in An. lesteri and the other 2 species. The discriminatory genera in the 3 species were analyzed by the linear discriminant analysis effect size method. Our results provide an overview of the population structure of microbiota in 3 native Anopheles species and will pave the way for further understanding of their role in mosquito physiology and vector competence.

Mosquito-borne diseases are a major public health concern in the Caribbean. Domestic water-storage containers are preferred breeding habitats for synanthropic mosquito species, among which Aedes aegypti stands out due to its role in arbovirus transmission. To determine the microenvironmental features associated with container-dwelling mosquitoes, a house-to-house cross-sectional entomological survey was carried out in 9 Dominican provinces affected by Zika virus in 2016. All containers with the potential to store water were sampled, all immature mosquitoes were collected, and information on the type, capacity, volume of stored water, building material, presence of flowers, and house location was documented. The specimens were identified and larval indices (House index [HI], Container index [CI], Breteau index [BI], and Ae. aegypti Breeding Percentage) were applied. A total of 665 dwellings were surveyed across 30 neighborhoods. A total of 1,420 water-filled container habitats were sampled, 19.3% of which harbored immature mosquitoes of 5 species, including 4 important vectors. The dominance of Ae. aegypti was marked, as it was present in all sampled neighborhoods, inhabiting 272 containers (19.1%). Larval indices were higher than the threshold values accepted (5% for the HI and BI, and 3% for the CI) in almost all neighborhoods. The presence of Aedes spp. was associated with the serviceability of water-holding containers (χ2 = 16.56522; P < 0.001), and the difference in volume between water-holding containers was associated with the presence of Aedes spp. infection (χ2 = 4; P < 0.001), the containers up to 5 liters being the most infested. This is the first entomological research based on synanthropic mosquito breeding habitats that cover urban areas of the 3 macro-regions of the Dominican Republic.

In 1920, Culex coronator was reported from San Benito, Texas, and later in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. In 2005, this species was reported to be spreading across the southeastern USA. Now reported in 14 states, it has been found as far north as northern Oklahoma; Memphis, TN; and Suffolk, VA. The public health significance of Cx. coronator is not firmly established, even though it has been implicated as a potential vector of several arboviral diseases. This study aims to document additional Cx. coronator county-level records, to provide information about its continued expansion across the southern USA, and to provide a short research update into its vector potential. Data acquired through multistate collaborations and author collections resulted in 146 new county records from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. No new county records were presented for Arizona, New Mexico, Tennessee, or Virginia, which had previously reported this species. With these new data, this species has been documented in 386 counties in 14 states of the continental USA.

Aim: In this study, children whose parents were diagnosed with schizophrenia and
bipolar I disorder (BID), were compared with each other, and compared with those
who did not have any mental disorders in their parents in terms of presence and types
of psychopathology.
Methods: This study was carried out on a group of children aged 6 to 17 years. The
parents of 11 children were diagnosed with schizophrenia, the parents of 36 children
were diagnosed with bipolar disorder and 47 children whose parents did not have any
mental disorders, were included in the control group. All children and adolescents
filled in the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH); the parents completed
a socio-demographic data form, Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Short form (CPRSSF),
DSM IV-based Screening and Assessment Scale for Behavioural Disorders in
Children and Adolescents (T-DSM-IV) and Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire
(CSHQ)-Abbreviated Form.
Results: As a result of the assessments, Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms
were found to be higher in children who had parents diagnosed with the BID
(BID-c) when compared with both children who had parents diagnosed with schizophrenia
(SZ-c) and the control group (p=0,08). Learning problems were found to be
higher in the SZ-c group when compared with both the (BID-c) and the control group
(p=0,08). State anxiety was found to be higher in the SZ-c group when compared with
the control group (p=0,020). No difference was found between the groups in terms of
conduct disorder (CD), attention deficit (AD), hyperactivity, psychosomatic complaint,
sleep disorder and trait anxiety (respectively; p=0,112, p=0,590, p=0,098, p= 0,776,
p=0,741, p=0, 924).
Conclusion: The results of the study suggested that the symptoms of ODD may be
more common in the BID-c group, and the learning problem might be more common
in the SZ-c group. Care should be taken in terms of ODD in children of parents diagnosed
with bipolar I disorder, and in terms of learning problems in children of parents
diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Published: April 2021

Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a relatively rare lymphoma subtype affecting mainly young adults. Its molecular signature and clinical features resemble classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The optimal chemotherapy for this lymphoma subtype has not been established. The addition of rituximab to anthracycline based chemotherapy improved response rates and survival. Many centers use R-CHOP as standard treatment, but the role of the intensified regimens and consolidation radiotherapy has to be clarified. Recent data coming from retrospective analyses and an ongoing prospective study addressing the problem of consolidation radiotherapy will help to better identify risk groups and apply risk-adapted and effective treatment strategies. The latest research has helped to understand molecular mechanisms of PMBCL pathogenesis and indicated targets of directed therapy for the future.
