Published: August 2023

Indigenous arts, crafts, and culture are critical components of the world's diverse cultural heritage. Unfortunately, preserving this rich heritage remains challenging for most developing countries, especially with the increasing use of electronic media and the marginalisation of indigenous communities. This chapter discussed digital documentation strategies for Nigerian indigenous arts, crafts, and cultures to support future historical research engagements and tourism. It begins by examining indigenous arts, crafts, and cultures, such as stone carving, bronze and brass, weaving, pottery, etc. It tackled the importance and challenges of electronic documentation of these indigenous arts for historical research and tourism. Some case studies of successful electronic documentation of indigenous arts, crafts, and cultures in other societies were reviewed. Lessons were drawn from such previous efforts to shape future initiatives. It was concluded that documenting and preserving indigenous arts, crafts, and cultures is crucial for promoting and preserving cultural heritage.
Indigenous Livestreaming in Brazil
Authors: Kissock-Mamede Tom
Published: August 2023

This chapter explores how livestreaming is a means to advocate for Indigenous rights and seeks to understand how Indigenous communal organizing is disseminated to distant others, focusing on researchers. Using video data analysis (VDA), it empirically explores a livestream on Instagram by the Huni Kuin showing a food distribution program. The key findings show that livestreams have both epistemological insights and rifts regarding the information that can be gained from distant witnessing. It argues that indigenous streaming is a positive, however, it's vital to remain reflexive as researchers when examining Indigenous livestreams. It postulates that we should understand streams as a form of witnessing rather than observation and sets out best practices for conducting empirical research on them. It conceptualizes a methodology for cataloguing livestreams by expanding on VDA and amalgamating it with critical auto-ethnographic reflections as a distant researcher. It concludes we should be sharing spaces as solidarity witnesses, and provision testimony in a form of knowledge transfers.

Authors: Okenjom Godian Patrick , Asuquo Michael Ekpenyong
Published: August 2023

In a world faced with increased and emerging technology, indigenous knowledge systems seem to be en route to extinction. This is resulting from lack of preservation practices by knowledge experts. This kindled the interest of the researchers to discuss how the OAIS model can be applied in the preservation of indigenous knowledge system and the roles educational managers can also play. The chapter vividly discussed the concept of digital preservation, approaches to digital preservation, components constituting framework for digital preservation and application of the OAIS model as framework for digital preservation of indigenous knowledge systems. The model used as framework for digital preservation of indigenous knowledge system discussed in this chapter is the open archival information system (OAIS) reference model. This model discusses the basis for preserving indigenous knowledge system for a long time and providing necessary access to knowledge holders without restrictions. Appropriate conclusion was made for the study.

Published: August 2023

This chapter introduces a framework for indigenous research and data management in electronic archives that aligns with indigenous worldviews and practices. It discusses indigenous communities' challenges in owning and controlling their data and the need for a culturally relevant framework for managing indigenous data in electronic archives. The proposed eight-step framework emphasises community control, data sovereignty, and ethical data management practices; and includes key components such as community engagement, informed consent, and culturally relevant metadata standards. Best practices for data sharing and partnership building with non-indigenous institutions are also discussed, as well as the steps for implementing the framework and the role of stakeholders in the process. Evaluation metrics for measuring the framework's success are proposed. The chapter concludes by emphasising the importance of community control and ethical data management practices in preserving and protecting indigenous cultural heritage and identity in electronic archives.
Time Travel and Paradoxes
Authors: Adetayo Adebowale Jeremy
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this chapter was to gain a deeper understanding of the paradoxes surrounding time travel, and to explore how students view libraries as a source of knowledge for both the past and the future. A survey research design was adopted, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Of the 384 surveyed, the findings revealed that students occasionally use libraries for research purposes, both for exploring the past and envisioning the future. This indicates support for libraries as a viable alternative solution to the paradoxes of time travel. Although students held the belief that time travel will be possible in the future, they also expressed support for government funding of libraries, to make them more suitable for historical and futuristic research. Therefore, it is recommended that government funding be made available to libraries, with the aim of equipping them with state-of-the-art technologies that will enhance their suitability for research.

Published: August 2023

Purpose Although obesity is associated with numerous diseases, the risks of disease may depend on metabolically healthy status. Nevertheless, it is unclear to whether metabolically healthy status affects risk of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer in general Chinese population.Materials and Methods A total of 114,995 participants who met the criteria were included from the Kailuan Study. The study participants were divided into four groups according to body mass index (BMI)/waist circumference (WC) and metabolic status. Incident of GI cancer (esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, biliary cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer) during 2006-2020 were confirmed by review of medical records. The Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess the association metabolically healthy status with the risk of GI cancer by calculating the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).Results During a mean 13.76 years of follow-up, we documented 2,311 GI cancers. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with the metabolically healthy normal-weight group, metabolically healthy obese (MHO) participants demonstrated an increased risk of developing GI cancer (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.11 to 2.13) by BMI categories. However, such associations were not found for WC category. These associations were moderated by age, sex, and anatomical site of the tumor. Individuals with metabolic unhealthy normal-weight or metabolic unhealthy obesity phenotype also have an increased risk of GI cancer.Conclusion MHO phenotype was associated with increased risk of GI cancer. Moreover, individuals who complicated by metabolic unhealthy status have an increased risk of developing GI cancer. Hence, clinicians should consider the risk of incident GI cancer in people with abnormal metabolically healthy status and counsel them about metabolic fitness and weight control.

El cuerpo, el rostro y la identidad del yo. Apuntes sobre la corporalidad humana en un tiempo de transformaciones
Authors: Hugo Palacios Víctor
Published: August 2023

El propósito de este trabajo es formular un concepto de corrupción desde una perspectiva filosófica que permita examinar el tipo de vínculo entre el Estado y los ciudadanos detrás del manejo anómalo de la actividad gubernamental. Así, con fundamento en el pensamiento republicano, se argumenta que la corrupción es una práctica de dominación estatal basada en la interferencia arbitraria de los funcionarios públicos en el diseño y ejecución de las leyes y políticas, lo que socava la legitimidad del poder político y, en consecuencia, las razones de los individuos para adherirse a normas formales. Este enfoque considera las dimensiones valorativas y prácticas del término, y también la forma en que la corrupción coarta la libertad de las personas para definir sus intereses y concretarlos

Authors: S Ramaprasad , S Kowsalya
Published: August 2023

Urticaria is an autoimmune disease that affects the individual with a variety of manifestations. Various factors trigger the immune system. Urticaria primarily manifests with integumentary signs and symptoms. This condition primarily does not harm greatly the individual but alters one’s daily activities. Skin rashes all over the body, itching for longer duration, and pain along with bumps anywhere in the body are the chief manifestations. Urticaria can affect any age and equally for both men and females. The urticaria also has several of its kind; aquatic urticaria, acute urticaria, chronic urticaria, and drug-mediated urticaria are the few examples. Urticaria can affect even the newborn and infants also. The itching and the rashes are the chief manifestations and classical signs. Urticaria is not hereditary or contagious. It is purely immune-mediated and hypersensitivity towards stimulants. Urticaria also referred to as Hives, are commonly caused by allergens and also can be a form of hormonal changes. Emotions can also be a cause of urticaria. Urticaria is not a serious condition but needs to consult the medical facility if any anaphylaxis appears. A healthy lifestyle and healthy habits make the immune strong and free from urticaria.

Published: August 2023

A ring R satisﬁes the right Beachy-Blair condition if for every faithful right ideal J of a ring R (that is, a right ideal J of a ring R is faithful if rR(J) = 0) is co-faithful (that is, a right ideal J of a ring R is called co-faithful if there exists a ﬁnite subset J1 ⊆ J such that rR(J1) = 0). In this note, we prove two main results. Let R be a ring which is skew Hurwitz series-wise Armendariz, ω-compatible and torsion-free as a ℤ-module, and ω be an automorphism of R. If R satisﬁes the right Beachy-Blair condition then the skew Hurwitz series ring (HR,ω) satisﬁes the right Beachy-Blair condition. Let MR be a right R-module which is ω-Armendariz of skew Hurwitz series type and torsion-free as a ℤ-module, and ω be an automorphism of R. If MR satisﬁes the right Beachy-Blair condition then the skew Hurwitz series module HM(HR,ω) satisﬁes the right Beachy-Blair condition.

Litsea leytensis Merr. is an endemic and premium hardwood species in the Philippines used for wood carving. It is a threatened species that survival in the wild is impossible with persistent causal factors. The study estimated the species probability of occurrence in Laguna and Quezon based on local knowledge, published records of species distribution, and environmental variables using the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model. Six pre-models were generated: one climatic model, four partial models of variable groups combined with climatic variables, and one full model with 31 original variables. The Final model had 19 highly correlated variables after variable selection and reduction using Jackknife and multi-collinearity tests. Analysis of variable importance revealed that L. leytensis’ occurrence was mostly determined by climatic (62.0%), edaphic (21.76%), and anthropogenic variables (9.53%), while topographic (5.15%) and vegetation-related variables (1.34%) had lesser contributions. The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) and True Skill Statistics (TSS) measured model accuracy; and the Final model performed best at AUC = 0.9489 and TSS = 0.7175. Modeling species probability of occurrence could help key sectors in Laguna and Quezon to formulate appropriate conservation strategies for L. leytensis as a reforestation and industrial tree plantation species.
Long-term Environmental Performance of Stormwater Biofiltration Sorption Media in Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Authors:   Aston University, Tota-Maharaj Kiran , Hills Colin
Published: August 2023

In this climate impacted world, there is an increasing need for countries facing potential water extremes to improve the reuse potential of grey water and storm water. By implementing best management practices for the treatment of stormwater and urban run-off, contaminants can be removed, and the water recycled and reused. The effectiveness of stormwater treatment is impacted by the clogging of equipment or where contaminant storage exceeds performance design. Poorly or untreated stormwater runoff can impact the environment through the release of total dissolved solids (TDS), suspended solids (turbidity), phosphate, ammonia, and elevated chemical and biochemical oxygen demand (COD and BOD, respectively). This study evaluated the hydraulic and environmental performance of gravity flow stormwater filters over a three-year period with the average filter life cycle four months. Six bespoke gravity stormwater filters employing sorbent pillows, and including peat moss, were tested for their effectiveness, including for nitrite and nitrate. An improvement in water quality of 80-98% was recorded. Oil and grease were managed effectively (peat moss and sorbent pillows reduced BOD, COD, color, and turbidity) but not significantly when compared to conventional filter media. The findings demonstrate that stormwater biofilters can be an innovative, low-cost, and sustainable solution for both urban and sub-urban runoff management, addressing water quality and resource quantity challenges.

Published: August 2023

Increasing population and growing commercial and business establishment translate to rising demand for water. Water is a finite resource needing proper management to continuously provide humans’ basic needs. In the Philippines, the most populated municipality in the northernmost island province, Basco, Batanes, is highly dependent on Racuaranum Spring within Mt. Iraya watershed as its source of water. The municipality faces challenges with its water resource management coupled with the growing water demand from households, commercial establishments, institutions, and tourism. The water utilization of these sectors were recorded and a 10-year projection of their demand and supply were plotted. Sectoral survey, focus group discussion, and the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis were employed to assess their water consumption and utilization. The households extract water for general use from groundwater and from the watershed. The other sectors mostly sourced their water through the Basco Waterworks System (BWWS). With the growing number of water consumers, the demand-supply projection showed a high-water demand in the domestic and commercial sectors surpassing actual and potential supply. To address this, the study suggested enactment of municipal ordinances on proper water resource management and service facilities taking into consideration its growing commercial sector, including but not limited to its tourism industry.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Shariah stocks, Sukuk, and Shariah mutual funds on Indonesia’s economic growth during 2012-2021, with the exchange rate as a moderating variable. The research utilized a quantitative approach and secondary data from the Financial Services Authority, the Central Statistics Agency, and the Bank of Indonesia. Descriptive statistics, normality tests, multicollinearity tests, autocorrelation tests, heteroskedasticity tests, and multiple linear regression analyses were employed to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that Shariah stocks, Sukuk, and Shariah mutual funds significantly impacted Indonesia’s economic growth. Individually, Sukuk and Shariah mutual funds positively influenced economic growth, while Shariah stocks did not have a significant effect. Furthermore, the exchange rate moderated the relationship between Shariah stocks, Sukuk, and Shariah mutual funds and economic growth. The implications of this study highlight the importance of developing the Shariah financial market in Indonesia and the need for supportive policies to foster its growth. However, this study is limited by secondary data and a limited period. Future research should consider expanding the scope of data and extending the time frame to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the influence of Shariah stocks, Sukuk, and Shariah mutual funds on Indonesia’s economic growth.

For two vertices u and v of a graph G, the usual distance d (u, v), is the length of the shortest path between u and v. In this paper we introduced the concept of DdM- distance by considering the degrees of various vertices presented in the path, in addition to the length of the path. We study some properties with this new distance. We define the eccentricities of vertices, radius and diameter of G with respect to the DdM- distance. First we prove that the new distance is a metric on the set of vertices of G. We compare the usual, detour and DdM-distances of two vertices u,v of V.

Authors: MOREIRA Andreane Pereira , SANTOS Luciano
Published: August 2023

O presente artigo objetiva investigar a importância da educação libertadora em contextos marcados por vulnerabilidade e ausência do Estado, tendo como base a experiência do Acervo da Laje, situado no Subúrbio Ferroviário de Salvador-BA. Em diálogo com estudiosos da educação e do pensamento popular, inscritos no campo das epistemologias do Sul, discutimos o papel da cultura popular (sistematicamente relegada à posição periférica e subalterna), com seu inesgotável repertório de outros saberes, memórias e criações, como via de insurgência e libertação social, de maneira a possibilitar a formação de cidadãos críticos e participativos na sociedade. O foco principal desta pesquisa é investigar a efetividade educacional das ações culturais promovidas pelo Acervo da Laje, que se propõem a compartilhar conhecimentos e experiências junto aos moradores suburbanos, tendo como principal referência existencial a vida dentro do território, sem distinção de formação ideológica, acadêmica ou de qualquer ordem. A pesquisa que resultou neste trabalho é de cunho qualitativo, com abordagem teórico-metodológica fenomenológica, de caráter exploratório. A entrada no campo empírico se deu a partir de um trabalho solicitado numa disciplina como aluno especial, e a partir desse primeiro contato foi realizado o anteprojeto que consolidou minha entrada no programa de mestrado Educação e Contemporaneidade (UNEB).
TRADE NETWORKING AND BUSINESS CYCLE SYNCHRONISATION
Authors: Takeuchi Fumihide
Published: August 2023

Recent studies have shown a growing tendency for trade to have an undetected effect on business cycle synchronisation. This seems to be due to an increase in the analysis comprising data from developing countries, advances in the control of the endogeneity of trade variables using instrumental variables, and the use of various control variables as explanatory variables other than trade variables. This study examines how the networking of trade, in which numerous countries participate, changes the relationship between trade and business cycle synchronisation in two countries. Thus, we examine the possibility that business cycle linkage would increase if countries with common trading partners had the same impact on each other from a third country rather than having a direct impact on each other. The analysis results indicate that trade networking enhances business cycle linkages, but bilateral trade has no such effects. This result is confirmed when tradables are divided into final and intermediate goods.
EXUBERANCE, ASYMMETRIC VOLATILITY AND CONNECTEDNESS IN FAN TOKENS
Authors: Lubian Diego
Published: August 2023

In this paper we provide an empirical investigation on some properties of fan tokens of football clubs. Fan tokens are collectible virtual tokens mainly minted on the Socios Blockchain (using the Chiliz cryptocurrency) providing the opportunity to influence club's decisions, unlocking VIP rewards and access to exclusive promotions, games, chat, and a "superfan recognition". Fan tokens are a financial innovation that allows football clubs to retain and, at the same time, monetise their fan base without making any changes to their corporate and ownership structure and without being subject to the legal constraints that the issue of financial products would entail. As fan tokens are immaterial tokens based on a cryptocurrency, in this paper we fill a gap in the literature by studying to what extent several properties of cryptocurrency carry over to fan tokens. In particular, we investigate whether fan tokens exhibit (a) periods of exuberance, (ii) asymmetric volatility response to price changes and (iii) volatility connectedness among themselves and the Bitcoin and Chiliz cryptocurrencies. Our findings suggest that episodes of exuberance characterise the dynamics of fan token prices, that there is some evidence of reverse asymmetric response of volatility to price changes, and that total connected ness among fan tokens is quite sizeable and that most of them exhibit a rich dynamic with multiple reversal in terms of (net) transmitters and (net) receivers of shocks to the entire set of assets.
Dualities and Convergences: A Comparative Examination of Soul and Atman in Marvell and Shankara
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Subhodeep
Published: August 2023

This essay examines the concept of the inner being in Christian and Hindu religio-philosophical discourse. The terms Atman in Hinduism and soul in Christianity both pertain to the immaterial aspect or essence that is believed to exist within a living being. While these terms are used interchangeably within the cultural context of India, it is essential to recognize that they carry distinct meanings and connotations. Using mimetic literary criticism basedon a comparative analysis of Andrew Marvell’s A Dialogue between the Soul and the Body and Adi Shankara’s Tattvabodha, this essay uncovers the similarities and differences between the seide as. The study shows that the concept of soul is different from that of Atman, and that using these terms interchangeably can lead to misinterpretations and distortions of both traditions. The essay highlights the importance of employing accurate terminology to correctly convey philosophical and theological concepts, and stresses the importance of cultural sensitivity and mutual respect in inter-faith discussions.

Published: August 2023

The value of the economy provided by pistachios to the countries where they are grown is increasing day by day. From this point of view, the importance of correct classification of pistachios is known. The more accurately the harvested pistachios are classified, the better the monetary return value. In this study, two different classes of pistachios were classified using VGG16 and VGG19 deep learning architectures. There are 2148 pieces of Kirmizi and Siirt Pistachio in the dataset. Experimental studies were carried out with 5-fold crossvalidation. As a result of the experimental studies, the Accuracy value of 0.802117 and the F1-measure value of 0.830593 were obtained from the average of 5 folds from the VGG16 deep learning model. Likewise, the Accuracy value of 0.779404 and the F-measure value as 0.779404 were obtained from the average of 5 folds from the VGG19 deep learning model.

Este artigo tem como intuito refletir as relações fronteiriças negras por meio de suas proposições intermidiáticas e interculturais, com foco no trabalho desenvolvido pelo grupo de estudos de maracatu de baque-virado Kaburé Maracatu, localizado na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu, e mais especificamente o projeto Kaburé Maracatu: Tambores em difusão (2020). O projeto destinou-se à promoção e difusão da cultura popular conhecida como Maracatu de Baque-Virado em Foz do Iguaçu, através de apresentações artísticas virtuais que reuniram o sotaque de quatro Nações de Maracatu pernambucanas: Leão Coroado, Estrela Brilhante do Recife, Cambinda Estrela e Baque-forte. A ação foi premiada com recursos do Fundo Municipal de Cultura de Foz do Iguaçu, promovido pela Prefeitura de Foz do Iguaçu, Fundação Cultural de Foz do Iguaçu e Conselho de Políticas Culturais de Foz do Iguaçu. Nesta oportunidade, mediante a análise do projeto Tambores em difusão (2020), destacaremos como o grupo faz uso do que Alai Diniz e Jazmín Ayala (2016) destacam como metodologia tradutória intercultural. Com o suporte da intermidialidade, buscamos compreender um modo de existência cultural marcada pelo que Irina Rajewsky (2012) destaca como um procedimento que atravessa as fronteiras entre mídias. O estudo aponta considerando as dimensões étnico-raciais e as referências das leis 10.639/03 e 11.645/08, a urgência e relevância de projetos e conexões que tem como fundamento lidar com a diversidade, considerando as assimetrias sociais, os múltiplos contextos e a valorização ancestral negra, a fim de como sublinha Petronilha Silva (2007) superarmos uma noção de democrático que tem como sistemática “ignorar o outro na sua diferença.” (SILVA, 2007, p. 98).

Ele é resultante de uma longa e reflexiva conversa com a autora, tratando de dois importantes conceitos que emanam de suas obras: o Letramento Racial (2014) e a Literatura Negroafetiva (2021). A escritora apresenta o primeiro conceito como uma ferramenta crucial para a compreensão do racismo e suas manifestações e como possibilidade para construir uma verdadeira pedagogia antirracista. Sobre o segundo, a escritora explica que ele surge da necessidade de utilizar uma nomenclatura para designar sua produção literária, assim este conceito para a autora designa uma literatura com narrativas protagonizadas por personagens negros nas quais o afeto é a marca principal. Dialogamos com Cuti (2010), Gomes (2017), Kilomba (2019), Santana (2011), Júnior (2019), dentre outras referências presentes na obra da própria autora que aponta a quem lê um aporte teórico para compreender os sentidos e significados da produção de autoria negra. Por fim, conclui-se que a Literatura Negroafetiva é uma possibilidade de se contemplar a Lei 10639/2003 na prática, ampliando o repertório cultural de crianças e adultos e contribuindo para a construção de uma identidade étnico-racial positiva, que valoriza a subjetividade da pessoa negra, além de colaborar com uma educação antirracista.

Pre-sowing inoculation of agricultural crops increases the parameters that affect the yield and quality of the crop, which has been proven by many Ukrainian and foreign researchers. The purpose of the study was to set the operating parameters of the injectors at different pressures, which allowed calculating the rate of discharge of the working solution during sowing to create a system of pre-sowing inoculation, which will simplify the process of seed treatment and increase the energy efficiency of farms. Methods of system and structural analysis, mathematical statistics, abstraction, and mathematical modelling based on the Euler-Lagrange equation, and using the foundations of theoretical mechanics, physics and machine theory were used for experimental research. The planning of the experiment met the current standards, and computer graphics systems and Microsoft Excel software suite were used for statistical data processing. Based on the conducted studies, the amount of liquid that one nozzle can pass in 1 min at pressures of 300, 400, and 500 kPA was determined. It was found that the lowest result was shown by a nozzle with a diameter of 0.1 mm with a pressure of 300 kPA – 10.493 ml/min, and the highest – a nozzle with a diameter of 0.8 mm and a pressure of 500 kPA – 146.379 ml/min. At the same time, injectors with a diameter of 0.4-0.6 mm used almost the same amount of liquid at pressures of 300 and 500 kPA. The amount of liquid that can be poured per 1 ha using a six-row seeding machine with a working width of 4.2 m per sowing unit of corn was calculated. The obtained data can be used to improve any systems that use similar nozzles, such as calculating the rate of discharge of agricultural sprayers or systems that allow cooling pig farms during the summer period

Since rainfed rice fields typically lack nutrients, frequently experience drought, and require more fund to support farming operations, the production results become erratic and unpredictable. This research aims to construct location-specific rice yield predictions in the rainfed rice fields among the Sumbing-Sindoro Toposequence, Central Java, using a Bayesian method. This study is a survey with an exploratory descriptive methodology based on data from both field and laboratory research. Prediction model analysis using the Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) method on 12geographical units, sampling spots were selected with intention. The following variables were measured: soil (pH level, Organic-C, Total-N, Available-P, Available-K, soil types, elevation, slope) and climate (rainfall, evapotranspiration). According to the statistical analysis used, the BNN model’s performance has the highest accuracy, with an RMSE value of 0.448 t/ha, which compares to the MLR and SR models, indicating the lowest error deviation. To obtain the ideal parameter sampling design, parameter distribution is directly and simultaneously optimised using an optimisation technique based on Pareto optimality. The top 7 data sets (slope, available-P, evapotranspiration, soil type, rainfall, organic-C, and pH) yielded the highest accuracy based on the test results for the three-parameter groups. The coefficient of determination has the highest value, 0.855, while the RMSE test for the model using the top 7 data set has the lowest error value at 0.354 t/ha and 18.71%, respectively. By developing location-specific rice yield predictions using a Bayesian method, farmers and agricultural practitioners can benefit from more accurate and reliable estimates of crop productivity

The study of geographical crops is relevant because they are one of the reliable tools for identifying possible scenarios for the response of forest woody plant species to climate change. The purpose of the study of geographical crops of Scots pine established in 1981 in the Kyiv Oblast was to compare the growth and productivity of provenances in different age periods, determine the optimal time for early and final diagnosis of their ranking, and model the relationship between the growth and survivability indicators of provenances with climatic and other environmental variables at the age of 21, 32, and 37 years. The ANOVA method established a statistically significant influence of the geographical origin of seeds on the growth of geographical crops. At the age of 37, the capacity for survival varies from 25% (Lviv provenance) to 36.2% (Chernihiv provenance). At this age, populations from Lviv, Kyiv, and Cherkasy oblasts are characterised by the highest height. According to the intensity of radial growth, these same provenances are distinguished, as well as variants from Volyn and Luhansk. In terms of the stock of stem wood, the best is provenance from the Chernihiv Oblast. Stabilisation of the ranks of provenances in terms of survivability, growth, and productivity is observed only after 21 years. It is assumed that the most accurate assessment of the growth and condition of Scots pine provenances can be obtained at an age that corresponds to a third or a half of the age of the main felling. The trend of clinal variability in the survival of provenances and the average diameter of their trunks along the geographical (latitudinal) and ecological (temperature) gradients is revealed. The study results can be used to update the current forest-seed zoning of Ukraine

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common inherited condition characterized by the growth of multiple bilateral cysts in the kidneys. We describe the case of a 35-year-old male with combined ADPKD and type 1 diabetes mellitus with a strong family history of both. At the age of 32, he developed end-stage kidney disease for which he underwent preemptive simultaneous pancreatic and kidney transplant, which in turn led to multiple perioperative complications. Evaluation of familial clustering of genetic disease is critical in genetic epidemiology and precision medicine as it enables estimation of lifetime disease risk and early assessment as well as detection of the disease among one’s siblings.
