Gospel of Joseph (I. Brodsky’s poem “Gorbunov and Gorchakov”)
Authors: Bogdanova O. V. , Vlasova E. A.
Published: December 2021

The article traces the intertextual layers of I. Brodsky’s poem “Gorbunov and Gorchakov” (Shakespeare, Goethe, Dante, A. Chekhov, L. Andreev, M. Bulgakov, etc.), establishes a connection with the sacred texts of the Old and New Testaments. The hidden disciple (apostolic) plot is revealed and, as a result, a different arrangement of characters is proposed than is traditionally accepted in Russian studies: the heroes Gorbunov and Gorchaks are considered not as opponentsantipodes, but as heroes closely connected, in particular, by the relations of the teacher and the follower. The three-part (conditional) composition of the poem, focused on the three days and three nights depicted in the text, with its symbolic trinity emphasizes the progressive apostolic path of Gorchakov and emphasizes his special role in the fate of Gorbunov (after L. Andreev, not Judas the traitor, but Judas the disciple). The inner “follower” layer of the poem allows Brodsky to move to the archetypal plot, metaphorizing details and symbolizing situations, translating them to a higher level, saturating them with a capacious philosophical and poetic meaning. The well-thought-out chronotopic structure of the poem — Easter Eve, Holy Week, madhouse — is based on complex allusions and the “internal semantics” of the sign, number, and letters. The theological function in Brodsky’s poem is assumed by the Word, the divine Verb.
Mari of Udmurtia: Factors of Preserving Traditional Culture in Modern Conditions
Authors: Pozdeev I. L.
Published: December 2021

The factors of preservation and intergenerational transmission of the traditional culture of the local group of Mari living in the territory of Udmurtia in a different ethnic environment is examined in the article. The source basis of the article was the field ethnographic materials collected in 2007 among the Mari of the Karakulinsky region of the Udmurt Republic and introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The socio-economic situation of the respondents, the established mechanisms of adaptation to market relations, the preservation of traditional rituals and holidays, material and spiritual culture, the use of the native language, ethno-demographic processes, the activities of the Mari community to support ethnic culture are showed in the work. The author notes that the historically formed mechanism for ensuring the viability of the Mari society includes practices of demographic behavior, ethnic socialization of youth, reproduction of elements of spiritual and religious culture (prayers, family and calendar rituals, songs) and the material world (national costume, elements of architecture, musical instruments, national cuisine), the use of the Mari language. It has been proven that the ritual sphere of the Mari is undergoing transformations, but at the same time it continues to remain an inseparable part of the life of the people. In the course of the work, it was also revealed that the local group of Mari in modern conditions for self-preservation needs to constantly generate ethnic markers based on traditional culture. The key role in this is assigned to the village community, educational institutions and public organizations.

Morphometric and Physico-chemical Properties of Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas L.) Grown in Çorum, Turkey
Authors: GÜZEL Nihal
Published: December 2021

Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) has regained an increasing interest because of its nutraceutical and pharmaceutical potential. This study was designed to investigate the phenolic compounds (total phenolic, flavonoid, hydrolysable tannin, proanthocyanidin and anthocyanidin) and antioxidant capacity of Cornelian cherries. Some morphological (length, width, weight, flesh:seed ratio and colour) and physicochemical properties (dry matter, pH, soluble solid content, total acidity, sugar profile and ascorbic acid) of Cornelian cherries were also examined. Cornelian cherry samples were selected from twelve locations in the Çorum province of Turkey, where they are grown natively. Bioactive compounds were extracted by an ultrasound assisted method (37 kHz frequency and 100% amplitude) for 20 min at 20±2C. Aqueous methanol (70%) was used as extraction solvent with the solid:solvent ratio of 1:20. Glucose (3.02±0.9%) and fructose (1.57±0.4%) were found as the main sugars in cherry fruits. The CIE* colour values ranged from 25.18 to 33.00 for L*, 9.74 to 30.26 for a*, 2.46 to 14.41 for b* values. Total phenolic content, flavonoids, total anthocyanin, proanthocyanins, hydrolysable tannins, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity varied between 230.4─559.8 mg GAE/100 g, 28.3─94.7 mg CE/100 g, 69.2─200.5 mg/100 g, 124.1─316.3 mg CE/100 g, 151.6─568.9 mg TAE/100 g, 29.0─103.3 mg /100 g, 24.4─92.5 μM TE/g, respectively.

Authors: Berg Kyra J. , Guzman David Sanchez-Migallon , Paul-Murphy Joanne , Hawkins Michelle G. , Byrne Barbara A.
Published: December 2021

CASE DESCRIPTION

An 8-year-old sexually intact female eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) with a 4-day history of hyporexia and lethargy and a 1-day history of tenesmus was examined.

CLINICAL FINDINGS

Severe leukocytosis characterized by severe heterophilia and moderate monocytosis was present. Marked dilation of the proventriculus and ventriculus and ascites were identified by means of radiography, coelomic ultrasonography, and contrast-enhanced CT, with no clinically relevant motility noted on ultrasonography. Results of coelomic fluid analysis were consistent with pyogranulomatous effusion. Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract following proventricular and ventricular lavage showed a thick caseous plaque occupying 30% of the caudal proventricular mucosa. Abundant yeast organisms were evident during cytologic examination of a proventricular and ventricular wash sample, and fecal culture yielded Candida glabrata.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

The bird was treated with SC fluids, assisted feedings, nystatin, fluconazole, amoxicillin–clavulanic acid, enrofloxacin, gastroprotectants, maropitant, and analgesics and slowly improved during hospitalization. A marked decrease in proventricular dilation was evident on serial radiographs obtained over a 12-month period. One year after diagnosis, the bird was presented with a 1-week history of hyporexia and lethargy, and fecal culture grew C glabrata. Antifungal treatment was resumed for 3 months. The bird had no clinical signs of infection 16 months after this recurrence, and subsequent fecal cultures were negative for fungal growth.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Findings illustrate the importance of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in diagnosing proventricular and ventricular dilation in birds and emphasize the need for long-term antifungal treatment and monitoring in birds with fungal infections.
Characteristics of and comparisons between US fourth-year veterinary students graduating with and without educational debt from 2001 through 2020
Authors: Bain Bridgette , Lefebvre Sandra L. , Salois Matthew
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE

To characterize and compare fourth-year students of US veterinary schools graduating with and without related educational debt (ie, DVM debt) from 2001 through 2020.

SAMPLE

45,756 fourth-year veterinary students who participated in the annual AVMA Senior Survey from 2001 through 2020.

PROCEDURES

Survey data were summarized for variables hypothesized to be associated with DVM debt. Multivariable modeling was used to investigate associations between these variables and the likelihood of graduating with DVM debt.

RESULTS

Mean DVM debt increased fairly steadily from $56,824 in 2001 (n = 1,587) to $157,146 in 2020 (2,859). Of 45,756 students, 6,129 (13.4%) had no DVM debt. Attending Tuskegee University and having children (both men and women) were associated with an increased likelihood of DVM debt. Attending certain other veterinary schools and more recent survey year were associated with a decreased likelihood. For 2020, the likelihood of DVM debt decreased with increasing percentage of tuition paid by family and increased with increasing percentage of tuition paid by educational loans, being a woman with children, and increasing total cost of attendance. No association was found with state cost of living index or per capita income.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested a growing rift between US veterinary students who cannot afford tuition and fees without accumulating financially concerning levels of debt and those who have the financial ability or family situation to fully fund veterinary school. Efforts should be undertaken to recruit across socioeconomic statuses and provide meaningful scholarships to students with greatest financial needs to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in veterinary medicine.

The green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a very widely grown food crop that contributes significantly to human dietary needs in many countries due to its high content of protein. This study evaluates foliar applications of ZnSO4 versus that of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) to leaves of the green bean cv. ‘Strike’ and records the plant responses in terms of Zn uptake and concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and bioactive compounds. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Chihuahua, Mexico, with a completely randomised experimental design with 10 replicates. The two treatments were foliar applications of either an aqueous solution of ZnSO4 or an aqueous suspension of ZnO NPs (both 150 mg · L−1). The application of ZnO NPs significantly increased concentrations of Zn2+ in the leaflets, roots, stems and pods of chlorophylls a and b (values 15.40 μg · g−1 and 11.64 μg · g−1, respectively). Sucrose concentration was also increased by Zn2+ applications, but no differences were found in total phenols (TP), total flavonoids (TFl) or antioxidant capacity (AC). In the pods and seeds, Zn2+ application left sucrose and TFl concentrations unchanged, but the TP increase was significant. The AC was affected by both zinc sources and only in the pods. The applications of ZnSO4 or ZnO NPs significantly increased the biomass accumulation (79.10 g · p−1 and 84.70 g · p−1 DW) and yield (55.64 g · p−1 and 53.80 g · p−1 FW). These results suggest that the application of ZnO NPs could represent a worthwhile biofortification strategy in the commercial production of green bean cv. ‘Strike’.
Gene Flow from Wild to Managed Colonies in the Stingless Bee Scaptotrigona Mexicana and an Update on its Mating Frequency
Authors: de Jesús Solórzano-Gordillo Erik , Nieh James C. , Cruz-López Leopoldo , Sánchez Daniel
Published: December 2021

Researchers have hypothesized that wild stingless bee colonies are a repository of genes for managed populations via the mating of managed virgin queens with males from wild colonies. We tested this hypothesis with the stingless bee, Scaptotrigona mexicana, a culturally important species in the study region. Each of ten colonies were split into two colonies and placed in a meliponary, which resulted in ten queen-right mother colonies and ten queenless daughter colonies. We allowed daughter colonies to produce gynes, which then naturally mated with males of unknown origins. Six months later, five third-instar larvae from each colony were genotyped at six microsatellite loci. Four new alleles (12% of 33 alleles) were found in daughter colonies that were not present in any other mother colony. The Fst index showed no overall significant differences between mother and daughter colonies, indicating that they belonged to the same population despite the new alleles. Interestingly, nine queens were estimated to be polyandrous, with an average mating frequency of 1.3, unlike previous reports for this species. These results have implications for the fitness of managed stingless bee colonies and suggest that a better understanding of how gene flow is affected by human management practices would be beneficial.

Published: December 2021

Legislation plays a key role in regulating beekeeping practices and biosecurity measures, but different countries present conflicting legislative frameworks in terms of allowing antibiotic use. Currently the EU and the UK only permit antibiotics under the cascade principle, but while the UK considers the application in cases of European Foulbrood, the EU strongly discourages antibiotic use. In the US, antibiotics are registered for honeybees and their treatments are regularly authorised. This study relied on an international survey to assess the current use of antibiotics and general awareness among beekeepers, within the three legislative contexts. The results showed a similar use of antibiotics in all three geographical areas, regardless of the legislative context. General use and awareness indicated that the EU and US would likely benefit from national inspectors. Furthermore, even though beekeepers were somewhat aware of the various risks associated with improper antibiotic use, they would likely benefit from targeted training on the matter.
Mapping the Population Density of Managed Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera) Colonies in Ontario, Canada: 2018

Published: December 2021

Host population density as a risk factor for infectious disease transmission is an established concept in both host-parasite ecology and epidemiological disease modeling. A ‘population-at-risk’ value is a necessary denominator in epidemiological analyses to estimate absolute risk. However, local colony density values have been missing from published literature for Ontario, Canada, and crude density measures for the province do not consider the highly heterogeneous concentration of colonies in Southern Ontario. With geostatistical kriging methods, a continuous colony density map was developed from regionally aggregated apiary registration data. This study highlights the potential implications of colony population density on a macro scale and illustrates methodologies available to produce continuous density estimates over a given region with Ontario as an example. The estimation and mapping of continuous colony density values across the population provides future work with a source of data to further investigate potential associations of colony density and disease and helps to inform inspection and surveillance efforts. An interactive regional colony density map was also developed as a knowledge mobilization tool to increase the accessibility of these findings to members of the beekeeping community. The results of this study are an important practical step in advancing epidemiological research on managed honey bees and may lead to further development of strategies to improve the health of honey bees.
Genetic Relationships Between Commercially Produced and Natural Populations of Bombus Terrestris Dalmatinus in Terms of Mitochondrial COI and CytB
Authors: Karabağ Kemal , Sevim Emel Tüten , Taşbaş Şadiye
Published: December 2021

Bombus terrestris dalmatinus is naturally common in many countries, including Turkey, and is also used commercially for the pollination of greenhouse plants. Intensive commercial production and international trade in many countries are considered as reasons for the disappearance of some natural populations. Hybridization of native bumble bees with those produced commercially, but having escaped from greenhouses and colonization of these commercial bees in natural habitats are cause for concern. In order to assess this concern, B. t. dalmatinus workers were collected from twelve different populations: five commercial producers, three surrounding greenhouse centers, three natural areas at least 30 km away from greenhouses, and one more recent greenhouse zone in Antalya, Turkey. The genetic variations and relationships among the twelve populations were estimated using SNP haplotypes determined in mitochondrial COI and CytB. Twenty and sixteen haplotypes were obtained for COI and CytB, respectively. A single haplotype, H1, was widespread with a high frequency in all individuals for both genes. Individuals collected from around greenhouse centers and commercial companies had more common haplotypes. The genetic variations of intra-populations were higher than the interpopulations in both COI (65.41%>34.59%) and CytB (72.47%>27.53%). The natural and commercial populations were genetically more distant from each other considering Fst values. However, samples from near the greenhouses had a higher similarity with the commercially produced samples, while the natural populations far away from greenhouses still retained their genetic distinctiveness.
Glam “Heroines”. Gaps in Glam Historicisation from Black Self-Feminised Musicians to the Herstory of Glam Rock
Authors: Alexi Katharina
Published: December 2021

The narration of glam music, especially glam rock, as queer is countered by a canonisation of male white icons in pop musicology, which is illuminated and expanded in this article. Early glam performances by self-feminised Black musicians (Ward 1998) as well as the music making of female agents of glam rock are at the center of this exploration. Firstly, an outline of the current gender and race specific remembrance of glam rock is given. Secondly, the “glamorous” origins of glam music are questioned with Ward; musical canon of glam is also re-arranged regarding the category of gender by adding the basic biographies of two further female heroines, Bobbie McGee and Cherrie Vangelder-Smith. They are present in digital (DIY) media within practices of affective archiving (Baker 2015), which enable lyrics interpretation in this paper.

Features of the Tien Shan newest orogen morphostructure
Authors: Leonov M. G. , Przhiyalgovskii E. S. , Rybin A. K. , Shchelochkov G. G.
Published: December 2021

Research subject. The concept of morphostructure implies the presence of a relationship between the relief forms of segments of the Earth’s crust and their structural and material content. This article describes the geological ensembles of the Tien Shan orogen, the tectonic structure and modern relief of which differ in their parameters from the general morphostructural plan and which, therefore, belong to the category of morphostructural anomalies. Materials and methods. The data presented in the article were obtained in the course of field structural-geological and morphostructural study of key segments of the Tien Shan orogen, as well as an analysis of materials from previous research, including the results of geophysical sounding of the Earth’s crust and geodesical monitoring of relative modern movements of reference points on the surface.Results. The article demonstrates that, against the background of the general linear-wave morphostructure of the Tien Shan orogen, there are areas whose relief and tectonic structure do not agree with the general tectonic plan of the mountain. Wi thin the considered region, different types of morphostructural anomalies are identified and described, reflecting the speci fics of the evolution and geotectonic position of individual volumes of upper-crust rock complexes: zones of concentrated deformation and tectonic joining; centrally symmetric structures formed on the site of paleoatolls; neotectonic protrusions  of the granite basement; trans-regional zone of the Talaso-Ferghana Fault and other structures. Conclusion. The formation of morphostructural anomalies is associated with the presence of non-trivial geodynamic environments operating against the background of the tectonic regime common to the Tien Shan. The modern morphostructure of the Tien Shan is the result of interference between various geodynamic regimes and settings: a regime common to the entire territory of the orogen and particular regimes that manifest themselves sporadically and are reflected in the modern relief.
Manifestation of the Late Famennian Dasberg Event in the shelf-batial transition (Pai-Khoi sequences)
Authors: Gruzdev D. A. , Sobolev D. B. , Plotitsyn A. N. , Zhuravlev A. V.
Published: December 2021

Research subject. Regional manifestations of the Dasberg eustatic event in the shelf and bathyal Pai-Khoi successions. The event appears in the Lower-Middle expansa zones interval (Upper Devonian, Famennian).

Aim. To evaluate the manifestations of the event in the realm of transition from the shallow-water shoal succession of the Pai-Khoi carbonate parautokhtone towards the deep-water (bathyal) successions of the Kara shale allokhtone.

Materials and methods. A number of successions comprising different facies and located in different parts of Pai-Khoi were studied: the Silova-Yakha River section and Tal’beyshor Creek section (south-western Pai-Khoi), the Lymbad’yakha section and the Peschanaya River section (northern Pai-Khoi). The interpretation of facies and the reconstruction of transgression-regression couplets were conducted based on the previously developed models of shoal and bathyal sedimentation. The stratigraphic framework comprised data on conodonts, transgression acmes, and carbonate carbon isotopic record.

Results. The Pai-Khoi successions comprising Lower–Middle expansa zones demonstrate four transgression-regression cycles. The transgression acme of the third cycle marks the Dasberg eustatic event. The absence of anoxia is characteristic of this event in the region under consideration. The carbonate carbon isotope record of the Silova-Yakha River section shows a structure similar to that of North American successions. Variations in δ13Cкарб were likely to be caused by climate changes and perturbations of the global oceanic circulation.

Conclusions. The stratigraphic interval comprising Lower–Middle expansa or Lower–Upper expansa (expansa s. l.) zones is detected clearly in different facies. A more detailed subdivision and correlation in the region under consideration is possible on the basis of evaluating manifestations of the Dasberg eustatic event: a characteristic eustatic succession and variations of the carbonate carbon isotopic composition.

Published: December 2021

The search for the factors that launch the mechanisms of economic dynamics remain polemical and generate contradictions between various economic schools and directions. This is caused by the differences in fundamental approaches, as well as by conjunctural transformations that initiate new forms and instruments for activation of economic growth in modern reality. The debates and works dedicated to the contribution of nonmaterial factors to the dynamics of the key macroeconomic indicators of regional systems are particularly acute. In this regard, it is an essential methodological aspect in studying the regional development is the application of approaches that are based on the principles of reputation economics, which covers the reproduction processes through the prism of reputation capital. Considering the relevance of this problem, the author carries out comprehensive analysis of the impact of the reputation capital of the region (classified as intangible assets) upon the growth of business activity of the economic agents. Leaning on the methods of building the system of recursive equations, the key patterns of the impact of reputation upon activation of economic activity in the region are determined. Substantiation is given to the main vectors of implementation of government regional policy through the prism of the theory of reputation economy. The article offers an interpretation, which discloses the priorities and peculiarities of regional development in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as well as the specific features of strategic territorial management.

Introduction. The author's methods of forecasting the threat of emergencies caused by hazardous meteorological conditions are considered to ensure the required level of safety, including on the territory of the Republic of Crimea. Research objective: increasing the efficiency of the warning system and informing the population about emergency situations caused by hazardous weather conditions. Methods. To solve the problem of decision-making when predicting emergency situations caused by hazardous meteorological conditions, the methods of the theory of fuzzy sets are used. The article presents a method for determining the criteria, with the help of which it is possible to establish exactly whether the presented object belongs to the corresponding class. To implement the goal of timely informing and alerting the population and services of the Unified State System for the Prevention and Response of Emergencies (RSChS), lowering the entropy of an adequate assessment of the situation and taking effective measures to preserve the life and health of people, it is proposed to rank the criteria by wind speed, precipitation and air temperature , according to the levels of danger, indicating specific preventive measures for the population, management bodies and RSChS services. Results and discussion. A method is presented for determining the criteria by which it is possible to establish exactly whether the presented object belongs to the appropriate class. The method allows you to determine to what level of danger the situation can go. Conclusions. As the analysis has shown, the likelihood of the occurrence of a yellow level of threat during the year is practically the same. At the same time, the likelihood of a deterioration in the situation with the already emerging yellow threat level in the autumn-winter period is slightly higher. When the wind speed reaches the upper boundaries of the yellow level of threat in the autumn-winter period, the situation worsens twice as often than with the same values of the indicators in the spring-summer period. Key words: meteorological conditions, forecasting, fuzzy set theory, decision support system.

Introduction. Regional anesthesia in pediatric practice is one of the most valuable and safest tools for perioperative pain management. The advantages of regional anesthesia are early recovery of children, reducing opioid consumption, postoperative pain, respiratory complications, nausea, vomiting, as well as health care costs.
The aim of the study was to analyze the data on the effect of the quadratus lumborum block and the transversalis fascia block on the duration and effectiveness of postoperative analgesia and propose a model of combining two blocks with a single injection.
Materials and methods. Today there is growing interest in the use of new methods of regional anesthesia, especially the anterior and posterior torso blocks. The quadratus lumborum block and the transversalis fascia block are aimed at providing analgesia over the T7-L1 dermatomes, namely the ilio-inguinal and iliac nerves, which extend from the lateral portion of the psoas major, the lower edge of the 12th rib; however, there is evidence of cranial spread to the T4 – T5 dermatomes, and caudal spread to the L2 – L3 dermatomes. Currently, there are enough publications concerning the quadratus lumborum block and the transversalis fascia block.
Results. For adequate perioperative multimodal anesthesia, the authors proposed a combination of the transversalis fascia block and the quadratus lumborum block with a single injection and ultrasound guidance.
Conclusions. The advantages of the proposed method include simplicity, less invasiveness, adequate analgesia during surgery, as well as during the postoperative period (exclusion of somatic and visceral components), as evidenced by the assessment on a visual analogue scale (no more than two points). In addition, it significantly reduces the perioperative opioid use.

Published: December 2021

Sharia Banking in Indonesia has a Sharia Supervisory Board that can monitor the operation of Sharia banks so that they are different from other banks. It is hoped that with this monitoring system the operation of corporate governance will be better. This study aims to explain the differences in the application of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) between Islamic banking in Indonesia. Sharia Bank is a bank whose application is different from conventional banks. Where one of the differences is the existence of a Sharia Supervisory Board which ensures bank activities are based on sharia. Then conducted a study of Islamic banks during 2014 to 2018. This research method uses descriptive analysis based on data that has been reported by each Islamic banking. The results of the survey showed that BCA Syariah and BSM received the highest rating among other sharia banks. This explanation shows that the implementation of corporate governance has been "very good" and has been in accordance with the stipulated provisions. BNIS, BRIS, Bukopin Syariah Bank, Mega Syariah Bank, Panin Syariah Bank, Victoria Syariah Bank, and Maybank Syariah, each ranked 2 (two). This means that the implementation of corporate governance goes "well". Interestingly, the Muamalat bank which has been the oldest BUS in Indonesia is ranked 3 (three). This means that the application of corporate governance is "good enough". Some notes on Muamalat's bank that must be corrected.

Designing a powerful approach for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a critical footstep in the field of nanotechnology. Algae-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles is a substitute to overthrow the restrictions of traditional methods. Penicillin-binding proteins are proteins binding to β-lactams and are convoluted in cell wall biosynthesis. The present study aimed to investigate the potential role of phytochemicals in inhibiting these penicillin binding proteins against bacterial agents using computational and experimental studies. Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was done using aqueous extract of Dictyota bartayresiana and was evaluated for antibacterial activity. Characterization was done via UV-visible spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy and Xray diffraction studies. It was found that synthesized nanoparticle was spherical in shape and possessed antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Phytochemical screening was performed to identify the chemical constituents present in silver nanoparticles followed by molecular docking studies against penicillin binding proteins found in bacterial strains. In silico designing of silver nanoparticles was done using material science suite followed by probe target interactions. The results displayed a highly stable binding amongst designed nanoparticle and phytochemicals and indicated that the silver nanoparticles possessed antibacterial properties due to phytochemicals present in the extract.

Published: December 2021

Thrombomodulin (TM) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) are the major factors that are responsible for lung cancer. Hence, the identification of novel compounds inhibiting TM and MMPs is the challenging task for the scientists. Even though synthetic drugs were developed, their toxicity and offtarget limit their usage. The current study aims to investigate the molecular simulations for bacterial derived stearic acid to estimate the in silico anticancer activity against TM and MMPs protein as target compounds and the findings were correlated with the standard drug vorinostat. Using Lamarckian genetic algorithm, the TM and MMPs were energy minimized and docked with stearic acid and vorinostat using auto dock 4.2 and visualized in PyMol software. Protein and ligand binding analysis revealed that stearic acid interacts with the amino acids of MMPs residues of PHE83, SER212, ALA213 and ASN214. It interacts with the TMs with two amino acid residues i.e. CYS407 and GLU408. Hence, compared to vorinostat, stearic acid shows a higher binding affinity towards MMPs and slightly lower affinity towards TM proteinase. We conclude that the computational analysis of ligand binding interaction of stearic acid suggests that it could be a potential inhibitor of matrix metallo proteinase and is effective against thrombomodulin and can be considered as an anticancer agent by in vivo studies.

The academic paper is devoted to the use of interactive methods in the process of studying the humanities in order to form the professional and communicative competence of future specialists in construction and civil engineering. Currently, the issue of active applying the case method, business games in the classrooms in higher educational institutions is rather relevant. This is due to the fact that the modern educational process is aimed at the formation of basic competencies as follows: professional and communication ones, skills and abilities of intellectual activity, the development of the ability to process a large amount of information. Another argument in favour of the using interactive methods arises from the requirements towards the professionalism of any specialist in construction and civil engineering, who should master the optimal behaviour in various professional and everyday situations emerging in real life. In the present academic paper, we have tried to prove that in the process of using interactive methods, the degree-seeking student becomes an active subject of the educational process under the direct supervision of a teacher, which has a positive effect on the formation of numerous competencies, in particular, professional and communicative ones. In the process of a business game or work on a case, the mastering of new terminology, acquaintance with new vocabulary, the use of speech cliches occurs. The correct use of grammatical forms and syntactic structures is of particular importance during the oral presentation of the decision. Professional knowledge and confidence in the ability to solve problems is an incentive towards forming professional and communicative competence in Ukrainian language classes for professional direction. Therefore, it can be stated that in the context of this scientific research, the expediency of using interactive methods has been justified in order to form the professional and communicative competencies of future specialists in construction and civil engineering during the course of studying at higher educational institutions.
