An Abiotic Phospholipid Metabolic Network Facilitates Membrane Plasticity in Artificial Cells
Authors: Fracassi Alessandro , Seoane Andrés , Brea Roberto , Devaraj Neal
Published: April 2024

The plasticity of living cell membranes relies on complex metabolic networks fueled by cellular energy. Although lipid vesicles have been extensively studied, creating synthetic membranes capable of metabolic cycles remains unrealized. Here we present an abiotic phospholipid metabolic network that generates and maintains dynamic artificial cell membranes. Chemical coupling agents drive the in situ synthesis of transiently stable non-canonical phospholipids, leading to the formation and maintenance of phospholipid membranes. Phospholipid metabolic cycles are capable of driving lipid self-selection and controlling lipid metabolism can induce reversible membrane phase transitions, triggering membrane fusion and lipid mixing. Our work demonstrates that simple lipid metabolic networks can produce artificial cells with lifelike properties, offering insights into mechanisms for engineering synthetic membrane dynamics.

Published: April 2024

The current study aimed to develop hydrocortisone mucoadhesive microbeads to prolong the drug's action in the gastrointestinal system, targeting Crohn's disease treatment. Hydrocortisone, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic effects, was utilized in bead form to enhance therapeutic efficacy, extend residence time, and reduce dosage frequency. Using sodium alginate, HPMC, and Eudragit L-100 as adhesive polymers, and calcium chloride and aluminium chloride as cross-linking agents, the study crafted microbeads with an entrapment efficiency between 57.23% and 91.69%. Evaluations focused on in vitro drug release, particle size, surface characteristics, entrapment efficiency, and the role of cross-linking ions. Of the formulations, HCS-8 (with sodium alginate and Eudragit L-100 using aluminium chloride as the gelling solution) and HCS-2 showed optimal drug release profiles. Notably, HCS-8 achieved a 12-hour drug release delay, attributed to aluminium chloride's cross-linking action. Drug release kinetics revealed a zero-order linearity (R2=0.99), suggesting super case 2 transport as the primary release mechanism.

In Western culture, chamomile is a well-known plant. Hippocrates, Galen, as well as Asclepius are just a few of the ancient figures who wrote upon their medical use. Paediatricians always want to know if a child's caretaker has used over-the-counter medications or herbal items, and this information should be included in any medication history. Children with GI issues including colic, dyspepsia, and diarrhoea, as well as skin ailments like dermatitis, are frequently treated with chamomile. According to clinical research, chamomile may be beneficial in the management of diarrhoea, colic, and atopic dermatitis. Children don't experience many negative effects. But use chamomile with caution if your child has allergies to ragweed, asters, or chrysanthemums.

Authors: Ganne Goutham Sai , Dusanapudi Swathi , Dorepalli Lalitha , Ganjala Tulasi
Published: April 2024

Despite significant advancements in cancer therapy, traditional treatments like radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery often fall short, underscoring the need for innovative approaches like activated cell therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) represent a pioneering form of this therapy, targeting cancer with modified T lymphocytes. While CAR-T cell therapy has shown high effectiveness in hematological malignancies, its success in solid tumors has been limited due to challenges such as proliferation, stability, trafficking, and tumor environment navigation. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial for enhancing the therapy's efficacy against solid tumors. The success rate of CAR-T cell therapy can reach up to 90% in leukemia patients, illustrating its potential. However, its application is still nascent, with much to learn about its long-term effectiveness and safety. This study provides an in-depth review of CAR-T cell therapy’s accomplishments and limitations in cancer treatment and explores the potential of combining CAR-T cell therapy with other treatments.

Authors: T S Ranganath , S Chaithra , . Vishwanatha
Published: April 2024

Background In developing nations majority of family planning programmes promote post-adolescent marriage optimal spacing and reproductive cessation at 30-34 years of age all of which result in smaller family size patterns. Such a practice would not only increase likelihood that parents would meet their parenting responsibilities but it would also have a significant influence on lowering maternal and newborn mortality. In general when maternal age drops below 20 or increases above 30 many obstetrical complications can occur during the pregnancy which is the risk factor leading to poor maternal and perinatal outcomes. With increasing parity and advanced maternal age there is an increased risk of stillbirths neonatal and post-neonatal mortality.Objective To assess knowledge and awareness regarding maternal health MCH services and postpartum family planning and birth spacing among post-natal mothers.Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2022 among post-natal mothers admitted in post-natal wards inborn wards Kangaroo mother care KMC and post-partum care units in Vanivilas Hospital BMCRI Bangalore. A sample size of 131 was c based on the parent study by Pranita Achyut et al. A pre-tested semi-structured validated questionnaire was used for face-to-face interview method. Data collected was entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.Results It was observed that 52.9 of women were in the 21 to 25 years age group belonging to urban areas 59.4 from the middle class 49.6 with high school education 47.3. Association between the place of living with education p0.026 an association of education with maternal and child health services p0.024 and birth spacing p0.0001 were found to be statistically significant.Conclusion In this study most of the women were aware of maternal services in general but there was a lack of comprehensive knowledge of the services. According to this study mothers utilization of maternal health care was significantly influenced by their age level of education and parity. There are still women with misconceptions about the adverse effects associated with contraceptives and spacing methods thus its important to emphasize the awareness regarding the methods available and the need for birth spacing.

Authors: Chen Qi
Published: April 2024

Using Corpus of Contemporary American English as the source data, this paper carries out a corpus-based behavioral profile study to investigate four near-synonymous adjectives (serious, severe, grave, and grievous), focusing on their register and the types of nouns they each modify. Although sharing core meaning, these adjectives exhibit variations in formality levels and usage patterns. The identification of fine-grained usage differences complements the current inadequacies in describing these adjectives. Furthermore, the study reaffirms the effectiveness of the corpus-based behavioral profile approach in examining synonym differences.

Ableism and (Neo)Racism in School Placement Processes in Quebec: School Personnel Interpretations of Immigrant Student Difficulties — A Secondary Publication
Authors: Collins Tya , Borri-Anadon Corina
Published: April 2024

The school placement processes of students from immigrant backgrounds considered to be in “difficulty” is an international concern at the intersection of works relating to special education and those concerning the school experiences of students from immigrant backgrounds or racialized groups. The research problem of this article concerns the identification of these students as disabled or as having adjustment or learning difficulties. From a perspective anchored in Disability Critical Race Studies, this ethnographic study documents different interpretations of perceived difficulties made by school actors with regard to seven primary school students from immigrant backgrounds. Five interpretation types are presented: (1) medicalization by dismissal of cultural markers, (2) medicalization by professional constraint, (3) medicalization by cultural deficit, (4) precautionary wait, and (5) cultural differentialism. Our results help to shed light on the special education overrepresentation phenomenon regarding these students and to understand how ableism and (neo)racism contribute to it.

Authors: Lu Xinjian
Published: April 2024

Objective: To explore the effect of the Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin (XFHM) for treating cutaneous infections and promoting wound healing in patients with perianal abscesses. Methods: Sixty-one patients with perianal abscesses who were admitted to our hospital (Xinghua City People’s Hospital) from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, a control group (30 cases) and a study group (31 cases). Both groups received surgical treatment. The control group received conventional treatment and warm water fumigation, sitz bath, and surgical dressing change after surgery, while the research group received XFHM based on the control group. XFHM was taken orally and replaced with warm water for fumigation and sitz bathing. Both groups received treatment for 4 weeks but discontinued sitz bathing after 2 weeks. Various clinical indicators between the two groups were compared. Results: The total clinical effective rate and wound recovery rate of the study group were higher than that of the control group. There were differences in the wound pain scores, surrounding tissue edema, and wound secretions at different time points. Both groups experienced wound pain. The scores of wound pain, surrounding tissue edema, and wound secretions of the study group were lower than those of the control group, 7 and 14 days after surgery. The serum interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels, and pH values of the study group were lower than those of the control group 10 days after surgery (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of XFHM for treating cutaneous infections and promoting wound healing in patients with perianal abscesses improved the treatment outcome, alleviated clinical symptoms, and promoted healing.

Authors: Brenchugina-Romanova A. N. , Denisova L. O.
Published: April 2024

The authors of the article explore the issue of personalized learning for students of a pedagogical university in the course of transition of modern education to a qualitatively new level. In the conditions of the departure from the Bologna system, new tasks have been set for higher education, their implementation requires a significant update of the syllabuses of all academic disciplines by attracting modern approaches, methods and teaching aids, developing methodological recommendations for authorial courses in accordance with new requirements. The novelty of the proposed study lies in the fact that we propose to include elements of personalization in teaching disciplines of the methodological cycle at a pedagogical university (based on the development of soft skills). In this regard, the article considers the personalization of learning as a vector of the modern educational process; competence-based approach to learning at a new stage; the competence model of educational programs. The presented didactic material for conducting classes in the discipline “Methods of teaching the Russian language” was developed taking into account the personalization of education and is aimed at developing students’ soft skills. The wide range of tasks that we offer will undoubtedly require additional knowledge and a large amount of independent work on the part of the students, which, in turn, will allow individualizing education for students with different levels of training and help them build their own educational trajectory.

The study has revealed the merits of tools and resources for teaching Russian to international students: a number of profile academic disciplines. The study confirms that the solution of the issues of linguistic and cultural adaptation of international students is achieved in the course of doing the academic disciplines “Lexicology”, “Linguocultural Studies”, “Linguocountry Studies”, “Translation Theory”, in the study of linguistic sections “Non-Equivalent Vocabulary”, “Semantics”, “Cognitive Linguistics” and in mastering the competences of analyzing the fictional text (its stylistics and phraseology). We outline the role of the relationship between Cognitive Linguistics and Linguocultural Studies in bringing international students closer to the issues of linguistic consciousness, which predetermines the full command of the language. The study allows us to conclude that the degree of mastering professional competences for a linguist and philologist can be considered as their level of linguistic and cultural competences.
Developing paremiological competence of international students within the framework of a Russian-Korean lexicographic project
Authors: Kwon J.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the current issues of developing Korean students’ paremiological competence in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The article shows the possibilities of implementing this task within the framework of a student lexicographic project. The participants in the project were Korean students of Russian and Russian-speaking students studying the Korean language and culture. The project activity was aimed at creating a bilingual (Russian-Korean) dictionary of proverbs. We describe the progress of the project and its results. In addition to the dictionary of proverbs published in Korea, the students developed precise interpretations of Russian proverbs, selected Korean equivalents of these proverbs and identified their ethnocultural specifics. Based on authoritative sources, linguocultural comments on proverbs of both languages were developed and included in the dictionary entries. This is how we realized the cross-cultural aspect of the paremiological material description. In the course of working on the project, the students developed the following parameters of paremiological competence: skills of disclosing the meaning, skills of establishing equivalence and providing a linguocultural commentary on proverbs. The final control section confirmed an increase in the students’ development level of these parameters, which allowed us to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of the project work as a means of developing the international students’ paremiological competence. The article makes a conclusion about the possibility of using research materials in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language and in compiling educational paremiological dictionaries.
On developing language subcompetence in cadets of educational organizations of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs: Foreign language learning
Authors: Shashkova V. N.
Published: April 2024

The development of foreign language professional communicative competence is based on improving the students’ language subcompetence since only with the automated language skills it is possible to move on to the types of speech activity with the concomitant development of communication skills. Given the variety of forms of organizing students’ educational activities, aimed at mastering their lexical and grammatical skills in the formulation of utterances, it is important to solve the problem of a systematic approach to the implementation of tasks. In this regard, the main goal of the article is to develop a consistent model for improving the lexical and grammatical skills in cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia based on a specific type of the task. To this end, the article elicits the possibilities of developing a series of tasks in the format of lexical and grammatical transformations to improve language subcompetence as a constitutive part of foreign language professional communicative competence.

The proposed system of tasks for improving lexical and grammatical skills is built on the principle of growing complication: from one-component grammatical transformations, which are aimed at practising one specific skill on the studied lexical material without restrictions of thematic repertoire, to multicomponent lexical grammatical transformations.

The range of tasks includes grammatical transformations of the active voice patterns into the passive voice ones, the use of modal verbs and their equivalents to convey the given modal meanings with attention to the use of infinitive forms, the reconstruction of syndetic conditionals into asyndetic ones, the transformation of compound sentences into sentences complicated by predicative constructions and vice versa.

Within the framework of the lexical skills development, we illustrate the transformations requiring the use of synonyms or synonymous phrases, antonyms (taking into account phrasal verbs, which represent a separate lexical group), as well as substitutions, taking into account the collocation properties of lexemes and different degrees of idiomaticity inherent in complex nominative units.

Consistent and regular use of transformations is one of the effective ways to form a mechanism of equivalent substitutions.

Evolution of Yelabuga City Ergonyms
Authors: Yurikova K. Yu.
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes Yelabuga’s ergonymicon, the evolution of ergonyms from 1897 to 2022 and compares three layers of Yelabuga’s ergonymicon in order to reveal the formation regularities of proper names. The study is based on advertising texts, the newspapers “The Kama Listok Advertising”, “The Stalin’s Way”, “The For the Five-Year Plan”, “The New Kama”, as well as the names of current city infrastructure facilities. Our research is based on following methods: the comparative method in the study of the linguistic facts, historical and cultural processes, the analysis of the concepts in finding correspondences and regularities in the formation of ergonyms, the contextual analysis method in the study of periodical publications of the 19th-20th centuries and the transformation method in identifying the functional possibilities of onyms. The article gives a number of examples (300 names of urban objects in the 19th – 21st centuries). In the course of the study, we propose our own classifications of ergonyms. The theoretical significance of the analyzed material lies in clarifying the concept of “ergonym” and the classification of ergonyms. The practical value lies in the fact that for the first time an attempt has been made to study the emergence peculiarities of ergonyms and the regularities of their change over time. The results confirm the idea that ergonyms are a linguistically flexible category of words, which change over time, responding to the needs of society.
The image of China in Yuri Galich’s travelogues “Golden Ships. Wanderings”
Authors: Afanasev A. S. , Zhu X.
Published: April 2024

This article studies the ways of constructing the image of China in the travelogue “The Golden Ship. Wanderings” (1927) by Yuri Galich. Structurally, the study consists of two parts. Proceeding from the theory of imagology and using the historical and literary methods, we conducted an overview analysis of the formation and evolution of the image of China in Russian literature and culture of the 15th–19th centuries. The study shows that under the influence of national ideology and public collective consciousness, the image of China in Russian travelogue literature was constantly developing and changing, different writers showing its qualities from different points of view in their works. The second part examines in detail Yuri Galich’s travelogue “The Golden Ship. Wanderings” and interprets the image system and cultural values of China rooted in Russian cultural tradition, exploring the spiritual essence of the image of China in Russian travelogue literature and the cultural identity embedded in it. In order to clarify Yuri Galich’s writing strategy, his work is compared with another travelogue of this time, B. Pilnyak’s “China Story”. Yuri Galich portrays a relatively objective and realistic image of China in an affable manner, while his disapproving attitude towards Chinese art reflects a strong sense of his own cultural confidence. In contrast, B. Pilnyak’s image of China is completely negative, reflecting the influence of European thought in portraying foreign countries.

The article analyzes Rifat Sverigin’s work “Every Bird Has Its Own Perch” (“Һәр кошның үз куначасы”), which, according to the author’s definition, is an ironic autobiographical elegy, but in form, it is closer to a documentary cycle of memoirs. The book has attracted the readers’ attention due to the true-to-life description of the events and its humor with a dose of irony. The main focus is on the unique emotional atmosphere of the text, which combines light sadness and a deep sense of satisfaction, gratitude to fate, thus allowing a deeper understanding of the main character’s inner world and the complexity of human emotions. The purpose of the study is to reveal the multilayered emotional and ideological content of the work, demonstrating its significance in the context of contemporary literature. It is from different perspectives that the book reveals the Soviet era, the era of perestroika, glasnost and our modern times through the prism of the protagonist’s personal fate.
Amirkhan Eniky’s frontline diaries in the mirror of Russian-Tatar literary relationships

The article systematizes information on the history of the diary entries “Front daftarlarennan” (“From Frontline Notebooks”, 1941–1944) by Amirkhan Eniky, which served as a starting point for the creation of his war stories. They were published in the media half a century later, on the 50th anniversary of the Great Victory. In his brief comments, the writer admits that he kept notes secretly while working as an HQ clerk, serving in the guard, in between battles, and he decided to publish them in his declining years, considering their content to be instructive for a new generation. Our analysis of the diary entries reveals their genre and stylistic features. The article proves that their narrative is of discrete nature: it is not a picture of military everyday life that is brought to the fore, but a man’s image of the inner world, pictures of nature, which leads to the transformation of psychologism. In his “notebooks” the writer reflects on life and death, on war as a phenomenon and on human behavior in critical circumstances. The process of national self-knowledge in these frontline notebooks is associated with the process of personal self-knowledge. The artistic fabric of A. Eniky’s diaries includes episodes with prophetic dreams, excerpts from wartime letters, Tatar legends, Turkic proverbs and quotes from the books he had read.

Combinatorial design theory and graph decompositions play a critical role in the exploration of combinatorial design theory and are essential in mathematical sciences. The process of graph decomposition involves partitioning the set of edges in a graph G. An n-sun graph, characterized by a cycle with an edge connecting each vertex to a terminating vertex of degree one, is introduced in this study. The concept of n-sun decomposition is applied to certain even-order graphs. The indices covered in this study include the general connectivity index of the harary graphs, Zagreb indices, symmetric division degree indices and randic indices.
Cosmovisión y territorialidad en Mesoamérica
Authors: Castillo Romero Guizzela
Published: April 2024

Esta investigación resalta la transformación del paisaje, el parentesco cultural, los grupos de linaje, la organización del territorio y el poder, como elementos fundamentales que sirvieron para ordenar y jerarquizar la vida de las sociedades mesoamericanas. El territorio y la cosmovisión como ejes de análisis evidencian que la forma de la organización social dependió de la manera más viable de procesar la relación entre el hombre y la naturaleza. Reflexiona asimismo sobre el papel que jugaron las migraciones-peregrinaciones, las cuales pusieron en movimiento mensajes mítico-ancestrales. En la distribución del espacio, en la cerámica y los petrograbados se recreaban nuevos discursos llenos de imágenes plásticas que sirvieron para conformar un sistema visual unificado que reforzaba creencias y valores, así como una cosmovisión que normaba el comportamiento social. Esta cosmovisión se recreaba constantemente con el uso y la transformación del paisaje, en el cual se transmitía el proceso identitario.

Published: April 2024

El alquiler de vientres es una modalidad de explotación reproductiva que afecta a las mujeres rurales empobrecidas. Tabasco legalizó la figura de "madre subrogada" en 1997. Esta práctica es muy cuestionada por grupos feministas y de derechos humanos. Este articulo analiza cómo se realiza y qué consecuencias tiene para las mujeres rurales de Tabasco. El marco teórico utilizado es la perspectiva de género feminista. Las herramientas metodológicas fueron cualitativas: bola de nieve, entrevistas a profundidad, estudios de caso, revisión documental, consulta de Facebook y chats de whasapp. Las informantes fueron mujeres que alquilaron su vientre, abogadas, psicólogas, feministas, funcionarias, esposo de mujer gestante y periodista. Las conclusiones muestran fuertes intereses económicos, peligrosos vacíos legales y negativos efectos en la salud física y emocional de las mujeres. Se aportan dos nuevos conceptos: "proxeneta reproductivo" y "explotacón reproductiva a través de la mercantilización de la maternidad y compraventa de bebés".
Technology and gender: Understanding the changing dynamics of female unemployment in the G7 countries

Published: April 2024

Technology has profound effects on labour market dynamics. Numerous studies have highlighted the unique opportunities and challenges that technological change presents to specific demographic groups. The aim of the study is to examine the long-term impact of technological changes within organisations on female unemployment at a macro level. From the perspective of the contingency approach and economic growth theories, the research conducts a panel cointegration analysis employing CCE-MG and AMG long-term panel cointegration estimators. The data on the female unemployment rate, the percentage of R&D expenditure in GDP and the ICT patents in total patents in the G7 countries for 1985–2020 is sourced from the OECD statistics. The analysis indicates the presence of an effect of technological change on the female unemployment rate as well as the national variations in their relationship. In particular, in three countries out of seven (Germany, the UK, the USA), there is the relationship between technological advancements and female unemployment. For the most part, increases in the percentage of R&D expenditure and ICT patents augment the female unemployment, though in Germany a rise in R&D expenditure leads to a decrease in it. The results will contribute to understanding the impact of technology-driven changes in organisations on gender-based labour inequality. The research highlights the complexity of the impact of technological advancements on the female employment and underscores the need for shaping related government policies by considering each country’s specific conditions.
