Vitamins B analgesic potential
Authors:   International Restorative Medicine University, Moscow, Russia, Shavlovskaya Olga A.
Published: October 2024

B vitamins are the most important cofactors of axonal transport, neurotransmitter synthesis and many cellular metabolic pathways. B vitamins (B1 – thiamine, B6 – pyridoxine, B12 – cyanocobalamin) neurotropic role has long been discussed as modulators of inflammation and pain. The analgesic effect of neurotropic B vitamins is known for oral administration and parenteral administration, both in animal model experiments and in clinical practice. Each of the B vitamins participates in energy, fat, protein, water-salt metabolism, has a regulating effect on the trophism and the nervous system. Synergistic interactions have been proven: intra-group accumulation of the effects of B vitamins, and potentiation of the action of medicine drugs of other groups (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anticonvulsants) when administered together with vitamins of group B. Vitamins of group B suppress the activity of proinflammatory mediators, regulate neurotransmitters of nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Some of these processes include targeted activation of the descending pain modulation system and specific intracellular pathways that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and regenerating effects on the nervous system. The analgesic efficacy of B vitamins has been demonstrated both in monotherapy and in complex therapy together with NSAIDs in the treatment of patients with lower back pain, polyneuropathy of various etiologies (diabetic, alcoholic, toxic). The effectiveness of the complex of high-dose B vitamins exceeds the effectiveness of monotherapy with one of the vitamins. Vitamin B12 enhances the antinociceptive effect of NSAIDs to a greater extent than B1 and B6, therefore, in clinical practice it is recommended to use a complex of vitamins of this group. The use of a combination of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) with choline, inosine and paraaminobenzoic acid in chronic pain is justified, since they affect the pathogenetic mechanisms of pain formation. Drug, containing a complex of 11 B vitamins, may be used for chronic pain syndrome.

Pain is represented in the child and adolescent population all over the world, and many young adults have chronic pain. Chronic pain is accompanied by the lifestyle and functioning alteration, as well as by the development of depression and anxiety symptoms. The global prevalence of chronic pain among children varies between 20 and 40%, about 8% of children report frequent severe pain, and 5% of children and adolescents become disabled due to pain. Headache (HA) is a common complaint of children and adolescents: by the age of 3 years complaints of HA are reported in 3–8% of children, by the age of 5 years in 19.5%, by the age of 7 years in 37–51.5% of children. The prevalence of HA, regardless of the subtype, is almost the same in girls and boys under the age of 12 years. The main HA subtypes that occur in pediatric practice are as follows: migraine (with or without aura), tension-type HA, cluster HA. Pain, including HA, is often associated with mental disorders in children and adolescents. Thus, the study focused on assessing the relationship between HA and mental disorder in the representative sample (10,123 people) confirmed the association between HA, especially migraine, and mental disorders in adolescents. The strongest associations were reported between migraine and mood disorders and anxiety, behavioral disorders, and substance use. Young adults with HA, especially migraine, more often suffered from multiple mental disorders. The paper presents a clinical case of the 10-year-old girl with the autism spectrum disorder and the combination of migraine without aura and depressive disorder.

Authors: OSAGIE EWEKA SAMMY DAVIES , Orhue Jerry Norghayin
Published: October 2024

Simarouba glauca has been reported to demonstrate a wide range of medicinal properties; including folklore management of hypertension disorder. The current study focused on the application of aqueous leaf extract of Simarouba glauca (AESG) as a potential prophylactic anti-hypertensive agent in male Wistar rats, following salt-load induced hypertension. A total of 15 experimental adult male Wistar rats weighing between 184 and 244 g were used for the study. The rats were allotted into five (5) groups of 25, 50, and 100 mgkg-1 body weight AESG; group that received 8 % NaCl for one week to induce hypertension; replaced with 0.9 % NaCl daily in drinking water for 4 weeks; the normotensive group, received food and water only ad libitum. Body weights and relevant hemodynamics were obtained weekly for four weeks, using the non-invasive (tail-cuff) MRBP system according to the method described by Bunag and Butterfield. Biochemical evaluation and histopathology investigation were conducted on blood plasma and relevant tissues respectively after 4 weeks according to previously established and reported methods; data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism, version 9 and presented as mean ± Standard Deviation. The results indicated that salt-load elicited significant weight loss; elevated hemodynamics; particularly, systolic and diastolic blood pressures; altered relevant biochemical indicators of hepatic and renal functions. Inversely, groups pre-treated with respective dose of AESG exponentially gained weight, significantly prevented alterations of hemodynamics and mitigated relevant biochemical indicators and pathological changes in relevant organs. Pre-treatment with AESG; particularly at 50 mgkg-1, remarkably demonstrated significant anti-hypertensive potential.

Bioterrorism presents a substantial global threat to national security, with potentially catastrophic outcomes. The primary aim of this research was to evaluate Kenya’s preparedness to tackle bioterrorism. The study specifically sought to grasp the magnitude of bioterrorism as a threat to Kenya’s national security, assess the legal and policy framework addressing bioterrorism, and gauge Kenya’s readiness to confront such threats. Employing a mixed-methods approach, questionnaires were administered to various stakeholders, encompassing policymakers, security professionals, healthcare experts, and the general public. Furthermore, in-depth interviews and document analysis were conducted to gain comprehensive insights into the research objectives. The results unveil a nuanced understanding of bioterrorism as a multifaceted hazard to Kenya’s national security. While existing legal and policy structures demonstrate dedication, gaps in execution and enforcement impede their efficacy. Kenya’s preparedness levels fluctuate among stakeholders, with some expressing confidence in current measures, while others highlight deficiencies in technological capabilities and resource distribution. Notably, a significant proportion of respondents at 59 % are in agreement that global advancements in technology have heightened the risks and magnitude of bioterrorism. In summary, Kenya’s endeavors to combat bioterrorism encompass legislative, policy, and operational measures. Nevertheless, enhanced coordination, capacity-building, and resource allocation are imperative to effectively address identified shortcomings. The study underscores the significance of proactive measures and holistic strategies in fortifying national security resilience against bioterrorism threats. Drawing from the findings, the study proposes several recommendations including; Strengthening collaboration and coordination among relevant stakeholders; Investing in technological infrastructure and capacity-building endeavors to enhance surveillance and detection; Regular assessments and revisions of existing legal and policy frameworks are also advised to ensure their pertinence and efficacy in addressing evolving bioterrorism threats. Further research is warranted to explore the socio-economic ramifications of bioterrorism incidents in Kenya and devise strategies to mitigate their impact. Assessing public awareness and magnitude of bioterrorism risks to inform targeted communication and educational campaigns is indispensable. Additionally, studying international best practices and drawing lessons from other nations’ experiences in countering bioterrorism would be advantageous for policy and strategy development in Kenya.

Antibiotic resistance is a major problem in the control of infectious diseases. To overcome this obstacle, a common approach is to search for novel antimicrobial drugs from natural sources, especially microorganisms such as Streptomyces. Streptomyces has long been demonstrated to produce bioactive secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activities. The objectives of this research were to isolate and characterize Streptomyces strains from the deciduous dipterocarp forest soils in the University of Phayao, and to evaluate their metabolites for antibacterial activities. The results show that the morphological and physiological characteristics of PA5.6 are consistent with those of the genus Streptomyces. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the whole genome sequence verified that PA5.6 represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces. The genome sequence analysis of Streptomyces sp. PA5.6 revealed a total length of 9,146,340 bp, a G + C content of 71.1 %, and an N50 scaffold of 320,345 bp. The antiSMASH analysis revealed putative secondary metabolite Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs) involved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial metabolites, including terpene, Type I PKS, NRPS and lassopeptide gene clusters. Functional prediction of these gene clusters indicates that they are involved in the biosynthesis of several antimicrobial-associated metabolites, such as albaflavenone, monensin and citrulassin D. Streptomyces sp. PA5.6 culture supernatant and its crude ethyl acetate extract exhibited antibacterial activity against several drug-resistant, bacterial pathogens, including S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, MRSA, VREF, ESBL-E. coli and CRPA. The GC-MS analysis of the crude ethyl acetate extracts revealed benzeneacetic acid, benzeneacetic acid, 4-hydroxy and benzeneacetamide as major active compounds metabolites. In conclusion, Streptomyces sp. PA5.6 exhibited promising potential for producing bioactive compounds against bacterial pathogens.

RUSSIAN-MONGOLIAN COOPERATION IN THE ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Ignatov I.
Published: October 2024

This article is devoted to the study of existing problems and prospects for the development of cooperation between the Russian Federation and Mongolia in the field of electric power. The author briefly describes the history of the development of Russian-Mongolian relations in this area and current legal framework, another point of interest is the study of existing energy problems in Mongolia. Particular attention is paid to the advantages that the Russian side has in its energy cooperation with Mongolia. The author then analyzes the areas of cooperation between Russia and Mongolia in the field of electric power, specifically: thermal energy (the most important traditional area), development of electrical grid infrastructure, hydropower, nuclear energy and, finally, alternative energy. For each area, the author provides information about the degree of its development in Mongolia and the opportunities available to the Russian side while interacting with Mongolian partners. The article provides a list of the most significant, including those already implemented, those under development, or those with a promising future. In addition, the author studies the existing problems that hinder the deepening of Russian-Mongolian cooperation in the electric power industry, such as opposition from other states (primarily the so-called «third neighbor» countries) and unresolved contradictions regarding Mongolian hydroelectric power station projects in the Selenga River basin. The author concludes that if the Russian side properly realizes the available advantages, there are good chances to resolve the controversial issues and achieve success in the development of Russian-Mongolian cooperation in the electric power industry, thereby contributing to economic growth and strengthening energy security of both countries.
MONGOLIA IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL AND LOGISTICS CHAINS
Authors: Dinets D.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the methodological and practical aspects of assessing the specifics of developing countries, including Mongolia, in estimate of the performance of financial and logistics chains. The relevance and significance of the study is that decisions on the investment program (Vision 2050) are made on the basis of traditional assessments of investment projects, its’ economic and social effects. Based on a generalization of available information and data, the article presents the author’s approach to justifying the need to change traditional assessment methods. The necessity of taking into account in models the costs of diversification and forecasting changes in the place in value chains when implicit costs arise in the future has been proven. Ignoring the fact that the costs of international trade are passed on to consumers in small commodity economies often leads to recessions and the need for constant debt refinancing. The article examines the structure of Mongolia’s exports and imports not in traditional estimates, but from the position of influence on future growth of expenses in the absence of sources to cover them. Particular attention is paid to the growing inefficiency and irrationality of budget expenditures in the traditional forecasting of the effects and benefits from the implementation of the project. In relation to the research topic, the use of the terms «budget liquidity», «fictitious financial flows», «disguise of commodity flows» is justified. An approach to the classification of factors that distort the picture of the movement of financial and logistics flows from the point of view of influence on national economic interests is proposed. In conclusion, a conclusion is drawn about the possibility of practical application of the proposed approaches for the analysis of financial and logistics flows of other countries, as well as the existing assumptions in the application of this model.

Authors: Sahil Arora  , Apoorva Tewari
Published: October 2024

Critical infrastructures (CIs), including energy, healthcare, and transportation, are vital to societal functions, making their security paramount. The emergence of edge computing as a means of safe data management is a direct result of the growing dependence of these infrastructures on real-time data and networked devices. Computing at the edge, or near the source of data, improves efficiency, simplifies data processing, and enables better real-time judgements by decentralising data processing. However, this distributed architecture introduces new security challenges, such as managing a broader attack surface and ensuring data integrity. This paper reviews the role of edge computing in securing critical infrastructures and discusses advanced security measures like encryption, access control, AI-driven anomaly detection, and blockchain. It also outlines future research directions, emphasizing the need for scalable, interoperable edge systems, AI-enhanced security models, quantum-safe encryption, and privacy-preserving techniques. Global standardization is highlighted as essential for consistent, reliable integration. Ultimately, edge computing offers a promising pathway to fortify critical infrastructures against evolving cyber threats, ensuring their continued, resilient operation in an increasingly connected and digital world

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Trauma is a significant public health issue in Nigeria, with road traffic accidents (RTAs) being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Recognizing the urgent need to address this, the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of Nigeria initiated a pilot phase for the National Trauma Data Registry in June 2023. Materials and Methods: This study aimed to systematically collect and analyze acute trauma cases across the country. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of 4,895 patient records gathered from June to December 2023 from 24 Federal Tertiary Hospitals situated in three key geopolitical zones. Results: The findings are striking: RTAs were identified as the predominant cause of trauma, accounting for 58% of the cases, with a disproportionate impact on young males aged 21-30. The study also reveals significant gaps in pre-hospital care, such as delayed emergency response and inadequate medical interventions at the scene, which contribute to poor outcomes for trauma victims. Conclusion: Despite facing challenges, including incomplete patient records and the constraints of a limited data collection period, this analysis underscores the critical need for a comprehensive and fully operational national trauma data bank. This is not only essential for shaping effective policies but also for enhancing trauma prevention and care strategies, ultimately improving public health outcomes in Nigeria.

Combining observations and simulations to investigate the small-scale variability of surface solar irradiance under continental cumulus clouds

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth surface (surface solar irradiance, SSI) is critical for a variety of applications, ranging from surface–atmosphere interactions to solar energy. SSI is characterized by a large spatiotemporal variability, in particular in the presence of cumulus clouds. This results in complex spatial patterns of shadows and sunlight directly related to clouds' geometry and physical properties. Although key in many respects, the instantaneous spatial distribution of SSI remains largely unexplored. Here, we use unique observations from a dense network of pyranometers deployed during the HOPE field campaign to investigate the SSI spatial distribution. For cumulus scenes, bimodal distributions are found, with one mode corresponding to cloud shadows and the other to sunlit areas with enhanced SSI exceeding clear-sky values. Combining large-eddy simulations of cumulus clouds with Monte Carlo ray tracing, we demonstrate the capability of advanced numerical tools to reproduce the observed distributions and quantify the impact of cloud geometrical and physical properties on both modes. In particular, cloud cover strongly modulates their amplitudes, in addition to their position and width, which are also sensitive to cloud height, geometrical depth, and liquid water content. Combining observations and simulations, we also explore sampling strategies to estimate the SSI spatial distribution with a limited number of sensors, suggesting that 10 pyranometers integrated over 10 min can capture most details of the full distribution. Such a strategy could be used for future campaigns to further investigate SSI distributions and their impact on land–atmosphere exchanges or photovoltaic farm management.

Abstract. The Ice Cloud Imager (ICI) aboard the second generation of the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS-SG) will provide novel measurements of ice hydrometeors. ICI is a passive conically scanning radiometer that will operate within a frequency range of 183 to 664 GHz, helping to cover the present wavelength gap between microwave and infrared observations. Reliable global data will be produced on a daily basis. This paper presents the retrieval database to be used operationally and performs a final pre-launch assessment of ICI retrievals. Simulations are performed within atmospheric states that are consistent with radar reflectivities and represent the three-dimensional (3D) variability of clouds. The radiative transfer calculations use empirically based hydrometeor models. Azimuthal orientation of particles is mimicked, allowing for the consideration of polarisation. The degrees of freedom (DoFs) of the ICI retrieval database are shown to vary according to cloud type. The simulations are considered to be the most detailed performed to this date. Simulated radiances are shown to be statistically consistent with real observations. Machine learning is applied to perform inversions of the simulated ICI observations. The method used allows for the estimation of non-Gaussian uncertainties for each retrieved case. Retrievals of ice water path (IWP), mean mass height (Zm), and mean mass diameter (Dm) are presented. Distributions and zonal means of both database and retrieved IWP show agreement with DARDAR. Retrieval tests indicate that ICI will be sensitive to IWP between 10−2 and 101 kg m−2. Retrieval performance is shown to vary with climatic region and surface type, with the best performance achieved over tropical regions and over ocean. As a consequence of this study, retrievals from real observations will be possible from day one of the ICI operational phase.
Predicting Geomagnetic Indices for Space Weather Applications in Solar Cycle 25
Authors: He Mu , Zhu Hongbing
Published: October 2024

Abstract. This study investigated the relationship between geomagnetic indices (Ap and DST) and solar activity with non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and the novel LSTM+ forecasting model. The NMDS analysis revealed a stronger association of Ap with overall solar activity and solar wind conditions compared to DST, highlighting the influence of elevated plasma flow speed and proton temperature on geomagnetic disturbances. The LSTM+ model, incorporating a dynamic reforecast procedure, demonstrated high accuracy in predicting Ap and DST, achieving strong performance metrics for SC-24. Based on the model and historical trends, the peak Ap and trough DST for SC-25 are projected to occur between May 2026 and January 2027, aligning with the observed lag between sunspot number and geomagnetic indices. These findings enhance our understanding of solar-terrestrial interactions and provide a valuable tool for space weather prediction, crucial for mitigating potential impacts on technological infrastructure.
Design of a two-bladed counterpart to the three-bladed INNWIND 20 MW offshore reference wind turbine
Authors: Anstock Fabian , Schütt Marcel , Schorbach Vera
Published: October 2024

Abstract. It is still an ongoing discussion in the wind field whether a two-bladed or a three-bladed rotor is economically superior for large offshore wind applications. While the inherent question is clear, the answer has to tackle a multitude of challenges. One is the task of establishing an equal three- and two-bladed turbine design to fill the research gap on the engineering side. Due to the notorious difficulties of reaching an entirely equal design, the goal is to remain as similar as possible, always with the premise of reaching a fair comparability. For this purpose, the focus of the paper is on striving for the most similar aerodynamics, including an equal absolute power curve, as well as a most similar blade structure in terms of a comparable fiber composite layer stack and matching ultimate and fatigue material stresses and stability limits. The controller features the same architecture and is equipped with basic load mitigation algorithms. The gains are tuned by utilizing an objective control cost criterion. The generator is adapted to the changed torque and rotation speed, and the tower is adapted to fatigue loads. A complete load and cost comparison and further manufacturing, transportation, installation, and operation and maintenance aspects are outside of the scope herein. In turn, the paper presents a thought-through possibility of achieving a most similar two-bladed turbine based on a three-bladed reference. While this re-design could generally be performed with any detailed three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine, the steps are showcased on the three-bladed 20 MW INNWIND reference turbine. The final turbine models, controller, and blade models are made open source with the paper at hand.

A case report of a 14 year-old-boy who came with a history of direct gazing to laser pointer at Khairun'nisa Eye Hospital, Karachi. A comprehensive eye examination including Slit lamp biomicroscopy, Fundoscopy, optical coherence tomography and Fundus photography was done. Main outcome measure were right eye foveal scarring with normal periphery. Fundoscopy showed right Eye old scar at fovea, exactly like solar retinopathy. Solar retinopathy is a type of retinopathy which is caused by directly looking at sunlight. In this report we are presenting the classical case of retinopathy exactly like solar retinopathy due to gazing directly at laser light for a long period of time.
Inclusive and Extractive Institutions: A Reasonable Dichotomy?
Authors: Spliet Bas
Published: October 2024

Prak and Van Zanden argue that these differences of political culture are deeply embedded in history. The premise of their book is that the Dutch economy has been dominated by markets for centuries, but, moving beyond the singular focus on property rights and representative institutions associated with authors of the new institutional economics (NIE), they argue that state intervention, particularly after 1600, “restrained the capitalist impulse” and improved “the stability of the system”. The authors thereby reinforce a crucial insight that the absence of these predatory institutions on European soil, or the emancipation of the middle classes for that matter, were not the product of intellectual or moral advancement but rather a result of historical contingencies.
El principio mitológico y el origen racional del concepto de “vacío” en la filosofía presocrática
Authors: Porta Caballe Adrià
Published: October 2024

La explicación tradicional del concepto de “vacío” (τò κενóν) en la filosofía antigua lo sitúa como una invención del atomismo de Demócrito y Leucipo o, incluso, del eleático Meliso de Samos. De esta manera se ocultan las profundas razones que pudieron llevar a la necesidad y surgimiento de un tal concepto, y aparece como si hubiera sido creado ex nihilo. En este artículo se pretende descubrir tanto el principio mitológico como el origen racional del concepto de “vacío” en la filosofía presocrática, que lo sitúa como anterior a las historias contadas hasta ahora. Mediante dos columnas que intentan aprehender lo mismo desde puntos de vista distintos, se llegará a la conclusión de que el concepto de “vacío” fue definido en el inicio como diferencia y repetición. En contra de una determinada visión de la historia de la filosofía que ve a los “clásicos” y a los “modernos” como dos compartimentos separados e incluso enfrentados, en el curso de esta interpretación se establecerá un diálogo entre la doxografía presocrática y la filosofía contemporánea de Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schmitt, Irigaray, Derrida o Deleuze
Relectio theologica. Diego de Cisneros, traductor de Montaigne (1584-1637)
Authors: Aranzueque Sahuquillo Gabriel
Published: October 2024

En este artículo, analizamos algunas de las causas que pudieron motivar que la traducción realizada por el «portugués» Diego de Cisneros de los Ensayos de Montaigne entre 1634 y 1637 obtuviese la licencia eclesiástica, pero no la civil. Asimismo, se aclara el sentido de la nota caute lege, que sirvió a Cisneros para orientar su labor como traductor. Para comprender la mentalidad desde la que efectuó su tarea, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de su trayectoria biográfica e intelectual, así como de su desempeño en la corte madrileña en defensa de los «hebreos cristianos». Nuestra investigación concluye que no fue el prólogo de Cisneros a su traducción lo que motivó la prohibición de los Ensayos, pues esta se había producido ya en 1632, sino el hecho de que la obra de Montaigne, según el Index de libros prohibidos, había de ser expurgada previamente por los censores del Santo Oficio, lo que nunca sucedió.
O ataque estratégico do neoliberalismo à educação: educação domiciliar
Authors: Araújo Melo Sthéfany , Luiz de França Robson , Aparecida de Lima Kênia , Marques Welisson
Published: October 2024

Este artigo surgiu a partir de uma preocupação sobre uma proposta que integra o debate público educacional desde os anos 2000 com o advento do movimento Escola sem Partido, a educação domiciliar ou homeschooling. Assim, objetivou-se compreender a relação entre a doutrina neoliberal e a proposta de política educacional para a educação domiciliar. Para tanto, por via dos postulados de um estudo bibliográfico, a base teórica deste artigo apoiou-se predominantemente em Laval (2019) e Lockmann (2020). Com isso, pôde-se demonstrar e firmar a assertiva de que o neoliberalismo opera por meio de estratégias no campo educacional, sendo a educação domiciliar uma delas. A educação constitui-se, portanto, como nicho mercadológico bastante rentável para a exploração capitalista.
