Authors: Дзуганов Т А , Гукетлова Л Х
Published: September 2024

В статье исследуются основные моменты, связанные с развитием промышленности и сети торговых заведений Нальчикского округа Терской области в конце XIX–начале XX вв. Предпринимается попытка изучения ключевых особенностей этих процессов в условиях пореформенного периода. Устанавливается, что развитие капиталистических отношений тормозилось отсутствием налаженной транспортной инфраструктуры. Отмечается, что к началу ХХ в. фабрично заводская промышленность Кабарды и Балкарии в основном находилась на стадии мануфактурного развития. Вместе с тем, на отдельных производствах начинается переход к механизации наиболее трудоемких процессов. Особенно бурными темпами в округе развивается торговля, что было связано с проникновением капиталистических отношений в экономику Кабарды и Балкарии. Делается вывод, что вступление России в конце XIX–начале XX вв. в эпоху модернизации способствовало дальнейшему экономическому подъему национальных окраин. Для Нальчикского округа это имело ключевое значение. Возникновение капиталистических отношений, втягивание края в систему всероссийского рынка благоприятствовали более быстрому росту экономики, его интеграции в общероссийский рынок.

The article examines the main points related to the development of industry and the network of commercial establishments in the Nalchik District of the Terek Region at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. An attempt is made to study the key features of these processes in the post-reform period. It is established that the development of capitalist relations was hampered by the lack of an established transport infrastructure. It is noted that by the beginning of the twentieth century. The factory industry of Kabarda and Balkaria was mainly at the stage of manufactory development. At the same time, in certain industries, the transition to mechanization of the most labor-intensive processes begins. Particularly rapid development in the district is developing trade, which was due to the penetration of capitalist relations into the economy of Kabarda and Balkaria. It is concluded that the entry of Russia in the late XIX–early XX centuries in the era of modernization contributed to the further economic recovery of the national suburbs. This was of key importance for the Nalchik District. The emergence of capitalist relations, the involvement of the province in the system of the all-Russian market fostered a more rapid growth of the economy, its integration into the all-Russian market.

Authors: Карова Т Дж
Published: September 2024

Художественный антропоним, выполняя номинативную функцию, способствует выражению национально-культурных особенностей того или иного народа. Имена собственные, являясь своеобразным культурным, этническим маркером, способны выражать историю национальной культуры. Этимологический анализ антропонимов в художественном тексте позволяет извлечь информацию о материальной и духовной культуре народа, о его религиозных верованиях, обычаях и традициях.

Artistic anthroponym, performing a nominative function, contributes to the expression of national and cultural characteristics of a particular people. Names own, being a kind of cultural, ethnic marker, are able to express the history of national culture. Etymological analysis of anthroponyms in the literary text allows to extract information about the material and spiritual culture of the people, about their religious beliefs, customs and traditions.
Dynamics of Photoexcited 5-Bromouracil and 5-Bromo-2'-Deoxyuridine Studied by Extreme Ultraviolet Time-resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy in Liquid Flat Jets
Authors: Kang Do Hyung , Koga Masafumi , Haldar Neal , Neumark Daniel M.
Published: September 2024

The UV-induced photo-relaxation dynamics of 5-bromouracil (BrU) and 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrUrd) in aqueous solution were investigated using femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) probe in a flat liquid jet. Upon excitation to the 1ππ* state by 4.66 eV UV photons, both molecules exhibited rapid relaxation into lower-lying electronic states followed by decay to the S0 ground state. By employing a 21.7 eV XUV probe pulse, we were able to differentiate the relaxation of the excited state population from the initially excited 1ππ* state to an intermediate electronic state with 100 fs. Computational results identify this intermediate as the 1πσ* excited state, accessed by a 1ππ*/1πσ* conical intersection, and the signal from this intermediate state disappears within 200 fs. In contrast to thymine, formation of neither the 1nπ* state nor a long-lived triplet state was observed. Although the 1πσ* state is largely repulsive, prior studies have reported a low quantum yield for dissociation, and we observe weak signals that are consistent with production of hot S0 ground state (for BrUrd) on a time scale of 1.5-2 ps. It thus appears that solvent caging effects limit the dissociation yield in solution.
‘We pay to do free labour.’ How unpaid placements affect New Zealand’s healthcare students: a proposal for sustainable workforce development.
Authors:   , Howells Bex
Published: September 2024

Aotearoa New Zealand is experiencing significant workforce shortages in healthcare. However, to qualify in these professions students must complete hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of compulsory unpaid clinical placements. This thesis focuses on the experiences of nursing, midwifery, and mental healthcare students. It seeks to understand how the challenges of unpaid placements affect the recruitment and retention of students and new graduates, and whether there are more sustainable pathways to completion of training.

Qualitative research methods were utilised to gain an in-depth understanding of student experiences. Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with nursing, midwifery, and mental health students, as well as a supervisor from each of the three disciplines to capture a range of perspectives. The research paradigm is one of critical realism as student experiences are subjective and sit within broader, influential social structures. Reflexive thematic analysis is used to identify themes. The analysis is grounded in intersectional feminism in recognition of the historical, social, and cultural barriers that compound inequities between people. The findings confirm that placements are an essential part of training. However, students report challenges of heavy workloads, power dynamics, bullying, and exposure to trauma. They also note a lack of transparency about the clinical hours and hidden costs associated with training. Placements restrict students’ capacity to undertake paid work which pushes many into financial hardship. Burnout is common and attrition rates are high. The financial costs mean these programs continue to create barriers to diversifying the workforce, especially for Māori, Pasifika, and mature students. Avenues for remuneration are considered, including whether students could or should attain employment status. The thesis concludes that the law is uncertain on the status of students but a stipend is a suitable solution for remuneration, as per the United Nations’ recommendation. A Code of Practice should be introduced under the Education and Training Act 2000 which includes entitlement to remuneration, tripartite agreements, restriction of hours on placement, rest between shifts, pastoral care, supervision, and access to grievance processes. Retention of new graduates may be achieved through quality training experiences, voluntary bonding, and greater emphasis on workforce wellbeing.

While locally-acquired dengue virus (DENV) human infections occur in mainland France since 2010, data to identify the mosquito species involved and to trace the virus are frequently lacking. Supported by a local network gathering public health agencies and research laboratories, we analysed, in late summer 2023, mosquitoes from privately-owned traps within a French urban neighbourhood affected by a dengue cluster. The cluster, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, comprised three cases, including two autochthonous ones. Upon return from a recent visit to the French Caribbean Islands, the third case had consulted healthcare because of dengue-compatible symptoms, but dengue had not been recognised. For the two autochthonous cases, DENV-specific antibodies in serum or a positive quantitative PCR for DENV confirmed DENV infection. The third case had anti-flavivirus IgMs. No DENV genetic sequences were obtained from affected individuals but Aedes albopictus mosquitoes trapped less than 200 m from the autochthonous cases’ residence contained DENV. Genetic data from the mosquito-derived DENV linked the cluster to the 2023–2024 dengue outbreak in the French Caribbean Islands. This study highlights the importance of raising mosquito-borne disease awareness among healthcare professionals. It demonstrates Ae. albopictus as a DENV vector in mainland France and the value of private mosquito traps for entomo−virological surveillance.

Anal Cancer
Authors: MD1 Isabela Dias Marques da Cruz, , Oliveira Fernando Nunes Galvão de
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Anal cancer treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach encompassing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The primary goal of treatment is to achieve disease control while preserving anal function and minimizing treatment-related toxicities. Surgery is often utilized for early-stage anal cancer, where the tumor is localized and has not spread to nearby lymph nodes. Procedures such as local excision or abdominoperineal resection may be performed to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue. In cases where the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, lymph node dissection may be necessary to prevent further spread of the disease. Chemotherapy is commonly used in combination with radiation therapy for both early and advanced stages of anal cancer. Chemotherapy drugs such as 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C are typically administered to help maximize the effectiveness of radiation treatment and target any remaining cancer cells. Radiation therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of anal cancer by delivering high-energy radiation to the affected area to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors and external beam radiation therapy is the most common approach. Overall, the optimal treatment plan for anal cancer depends on the stage of the disease, the patient's overall health, and individual factors. Close collaboration between oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other healthcare professionals is essential to tailor treatment to each patient's specific needs and optimize outcomes. Early detection and prompt intervention are critical in improving the prognosis for individuals diagnosed with anal cancer.
Key-words: anal cancer, anal carcinoma, chemoradiation, systemic treatment, radiotherapy.

This study examined the effect of atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) application on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of steaks obtained from beef Musculus longissimus dorsi muscle. In the ACP application, O2 and Ar gases were applied to the samples separately and as a mixture for 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. While the application decreased the pH and aw of the samples, it caused an increase in TBARS values. In addition, there was a decrease in the L*, a*, and b* values of the samples in other ACP applications, except for applications using O2 gas. Apart from this, the application was effective in the positive development of the textural properties of the samples. In steak samples obtained from the M. longissimus dorsi muscle, ACP application reduced the total mesophilic aerobic bacteria, total psychrophilic aerobic bacteria, total coliform, and total yeast/mold counts by an average of 2 log cfu/g.

Authors: Ayala-Garcia Camilo , Scalabrini Matteo , Cohen Nitzan
Published: September 2024

In times of multiple crises, embracing alternative and sustainable solutions for materials, products, and manufacturing systems becomes increasingly crucial and urgent. Constant improvements and innovations in technology and science, together with consumer demand for the new, encourage an ever-growing production of electronic goods, consequently leading to a broad and multi-levelled scope of problems. While incremental growth follows unsustainable production patterns, the democratisation of technology on the contrary gives rise to contrasting paradigms and ways of production that could shift the power back to the consumer. Starting from the principles of transparency and openness, the Do-It-Yourself-Revolution (DIYR) project aims for a more sustainable product world, where environmentally conscious production raises the value and care for things while at the same time formulating a new contemporary product language.
This project aims to create novel products and product ecosystems with a localised production focus, wherein users are motivated to transition into proDusers (producer-users). This transformation is facilitated through instruction, acquiring additional knowledge, and cultivating skills via immersion in the worlds of making, crafting, and design.

Authors: Kossivi Fabrice Dossa , Yann Emmanuel Miassi
Published: September 2024

Sustainable agriculture is a fast-growing field that attempts to provide energy and food for both present and future generations. Given that the concept of sustainability differs across disciplines, each region and country employs various alternative methods. The three primary facets of sustainable agriculture are social, environmental, and economic. For the past 25 years, experts have concentrated on sustainable agriculture, which has garnered a lot of attention. The SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis) and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocols are followed in this work. The literature search was conducted using Research Gate, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar. We thoroughly explored eight different strategies from earlier research. The eight (eight) primary sustainable practices: agroforestry, agrobiodiversity, cover crops, crop rotation, conservation tillage, soil conservation, water management, and smart farming-are based on the thematic analysis of this systematic study. The results provide a foundational understanding of incorporating these alternative methods with scientific findings into sustainable farming techniques. Government assistance is essential to achieving sustainable agriculture because it allows businesses to lower costs and facilitate the purchase of recyclable goods by consumers. Furthermore, through education on the land and farms, the government may help farmers advance their abilities.

Published: September 2024

This study focuses on the practice of cooperation in cattle husbandry between cattle owners as sohibul mal (capital owners) and cattle breeders in a particular area. In Jorong Ampalu Ketek Nagari Labuh, this study examines the basiduoan system of jawi (cattle) livestock from the perspective of fiqh muamalah (Islamic economic law) to understand how the mudharabah (cooperation) contract is implemented in practice. Data were obtained through field research with various methods such as direct interviews with basiduoan jawi actors, observation, and documentation. In its analysis, the study found that serious and skilled cattle breeders tend to get greater profits, while those who are less responsible can result in minimal profits. This shows that the results of this cooperation are highly dependent on the commitment and skills of the cattle breeders. The basiduoan jawi tradition is considered beneficial to both parties in economic cooperation based on the mudharabah system. However, the study also identified obstacles that hinder the implementation of this system in Jorong Ampalu Ketek. The research method used is field research with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while data validity was strengthened through triangulation. Overall, this study provides a deep understanding of the practice of cooperation in cattle maintenance using an Islamic economic approach, and identifies the challenges faced in implementing this cooperation system at the location studied.

Published: September 2024

Интерферон-γ играет одну из ключевых ролей в противоопухолевом иммунитете. Целью работы было оценить влияние полиметакриловой кислоты на уровень интерферона-γ при моделировании опухолевого процесса in vivo. Для этого был получен низкомолекулярный полимер метакриловой кислоты с узким молекулярно-массовым распределением (Mn · 10–3 = 31,8; Mw · 10–3 = 37,3; Р = 1,17). Экспериментальная модель опухолевого процесса создавалась путем перевивки опухолевого штамма РС-1 лабораторным животным (крысы линии Wistar). В результате эксперимента было показано, что при перевивке опухоли уровень интерферона-γ у лабораторных животных на 21 сутки снизился на 31,2 %. Введение полиметакриловой кислоты способствовало увеличению выработки интерферона-γ у лабораторных животных, и его уровень достигал уровня интактных животных (10,20 ± 0,45 пг/мл). На фоне использования полиметакриловой кислоты наблюдалась тенденция к уменьшению объема опухоли.

En este trabajo se presenta la colaboración realizada al Municipio de Saladas en el diagnóstico ecológico de la  Laguna Soto, un ecosistema de gran valor socio-ambiental  regional. Esta laguna fue estudiada desde la década del 90  por algunos investigadores del equipo, a raíz del proceso  de eutrofización originado por el ingreso de efluentes  domiciliarios, que ocasionó una pérdida en la calidad del  agua con la restricción de su uso con fines de esparcimiento. El caso de Saladas, además del interés  intrínseco que representa la pérdida o disminución de los  usos de los recursos hídricos, es de gran interés para el  área subtropical de Latinoamérica, en razón de existir  situaciones análogas y que están pendientes de pautas  adecuadas de manejo, como lo es el crecimiento poco  programado de los núcleos urbanos en áreas anegables e  inundables. En este proyecto trabajaron docentes y  alumnos locales con el objetivo de concientizar y  sensibilizar sobre el cuidado de los recursos naturales. El  desarrollo de este proyecto permitió generar información  de interés para la sociedad que hace uso de este recurso y  para las autoridades gubernamentales, a fin de contribuir  en la toma de decisiones para el manejo adecuado y  conservación de la integridad biológica y los servicios  ecosistémicos que brinda este humedal, no sólo a los  habitantes de la ciudad de Saladas, sino también a los  pobladores de toda la región.

Published: September 2024

Intranasal oxytocin administration has been used to experimentally manipulate central oxytocin levels to investigate its effects on physiology and cognition. However, reported outcomes have varied substantially. Over 20 meta-analyses to date have examined the effect of oxytocin administration on cognition and behavior to better understand these inconsistent findings. These meta-analyses, like primary studies, involve different methodological decisions such as inclusion criteria and analytical methods, which can influence their conclusions. To evaluate the impact of methodological decisions on meta-analysis outcomes, we adopted a multiverse approach, exploring a wide range of possible meta-analyses using diverse methodological approaches. This included varying inclusion criteria, data synthesis models, and methods for correcting publication bias. We analyzed 372 effect sizes from 107 studies on the effects of oxytocin administration on cognition, which yielded 59 distinct meta-analyses incorporating plausible analytic decisions. Our results indicate that summary effect estimates for intranasal oxytocin meta-analyses can vary considerably depending on the methodological decisions made by meta-analysts (d = -0.08 to 0.22). Notably, the inclusion of populations with psychiatric or neurodevelopmental conditions and multiple oxytocin administrations yielded larger effect sizes. Furthermore, summary effect estimates were inflated when publication bias was not accounted for. These findings underscore the importance of meta-analysis pre-registration, which facilitates the transparent evaluation of meta-analyst decision-making, and the importance of correcting summary effect size estimates for publication bias. The analysis script and data have been published on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/s5gx4/).
The Origin of Public Concerns over AI-Supercharging Misinformation in the 2024 US Presidential Election

Published: September 2024

Researchers and the media have highlighted the potential adverse effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the 2024 US presidential election. To measure baseline public perceptions of this issue going into the election, this study surveyed 1,001 Americans and found that four out of five expressed concerns about the use of AI to spread election misinformation. Further analysis shows that direct interactions with Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL-E have a negligible impact on alleviating these concerns. Education levels and work experiences in STEM fields also showed no significant associations with concern levels. In contrast, learning about AI through news, particularly TV programs, significantly correlates with increased concern. The results suggest that more ubiquitous use of the tools will not necessarily make the public more critical of AI misinformation risk; rather, the data point to the vital role news will play in shaping public understanding of AI risks.
Turtles and Mesolithic Human Subsistence: Taxonomic and Taphonomic Study of the Assemblages from El Collado (Oliva, Eastern Iberian Peninsula)
Authors: Moya Raquel , Sanchis Alfred , de Pablo Javier Fernandez Lopez
Published: September 2024

This paper presents the first comprehensive taxonomic and taphonomic analysis of turtle remains from the Mesolithic site of El Collado (Oliva, Valencia), one of the most significant archaeological sites on the Iberian Peninsula. This unprecedented assemblage, derived from previously unpublished collections, provides critical insights into the subsistence strategies and environmental adaptations of Mesolithic communities during the Early Holocene. Through detailed examination, two key Iberian species, Emys orbicularis and Mauremys leprosa, have been identified, offering new taxonomic evidence on the distribution of these taxa in the region. The study also documents anthropogenic modifications, including fire marks, suggesting that turtles were a significant food resource, thus contributing to a broader understanding of human-environment interactions in prehistoric contexts. The findings underscore the importance of small prey exploitation in Mesolithic subsistence strategies, offering valuable paleoenvironmental and paleoeconomic insights. This work enhances our understanding of resource use and cultural practices in Mesolithic societies, emphasizing the role of local fauna in their adaptation to postglacial environmental changes.
Carbon storage in Northern Ireland’s aquatic ecosystems: an evidence synthesis to support policy development.
Authors: Hunter William
Published: September 2024

Blue carbon is defined as carbon that is naturally sequestered and stored in the world’s aquatic ecosystems. Governments around the world are currently seeking to develop a range of tools to help meet their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potentially reverse anthropogenic climate change. As such, there is growing interest from policy makers in natural processes which may be managed to maximise carbon sequestration. Northern Ireland is a constituent region of the United Kingdom that encompasses 14,330 km2 of land and 6000 km2 of shelf sea on the North easter portion of the island of Ireland. This review and evidence synthesis outlines the biogeochemical processes involved in carbon sequestration and storage in marine ecosystems and seeks to provide initial estimates of carbon sequestration and burial in Northern Ireland’s marine habitats. Overall Northern Ireland’s marine space encompasses 3812 km2 of shallow subtidal habitats, 1670 km2 of deep offshore habitats in the Irish Sea and 518 km2 of sea loughs. These habitats store between 14 and 22 Teragrams of Carbon, according to current estimates. However, there is considerable uncertainty regarding these estimates of Northern Ireland’s blue carbon stocks. As such, a detailed mapping exercise is needed to support the development of a regional blue carbon inventory. This is of particular importance, given that the deep offshore habitats in the Irish Sea which are estimated to support much of the regions carbon storage are heavily fished (primarily for Nephrops norvegicus). This evidence synthesis identifies uncertainty in the current scientific literature around impacts of fishing on seabed carbon storage. This highlights a clear need to obtain region-specific information on fishing impacts in the Irish Sea to support future policy development.
Impact of Vertical Scaling on Normal Probability Density Function Plots
Authors: Fygenson Racquel , Padilla Lace
Published: September 2024

Probability density function (PDF) curves are among the few charts on a Cartesian coordinate system that are commonly presented without y-axes. This design decision may be due to the lack of relevance of vertical scaling in normal PDFs. In fact, as long as two normal PDFs have the same means and standard deviations (SDs), they can be scaled to occupy different amounts of vertical space while still remaining statistically identical. Because unfixed PDF height increases as SD decreases, visualization designers may find themselves tempted to vertically shrink low-SD PDFs to avoid occlusion or save white space in their figures. Although irregular vertical scaling has been explored in bar and line charts, the visualization community has yet to investigate how this visual manipulation may affect reader comparisons of PDFs. In this paper, we present two preregistered experiments (n = 600, n = 401) that systematically demonstrate that vertical scaling can lead to misinterpretations of PDFs. We also test visual interventions to mitigate misinterpretation. In some contexts, we find including a y-axis can help reduce this effect. Overall, we find that keeping vertical scaling consistent, and therefore maintaining equal pixel areas under PDF curves, results in the highest likelihood of accurate comparisons. Our findings provide insights into the impact of vertical scaling on PDFs, and reveal the complicated nature of proportional area comparisons.
