A tool for optimizing mining units for surface block mining models
Authors: Bilin A.L. , Kornienko A.V.
Published: December 2023

The MINEFRAME mining and geological information system features an algorithm and a software module to create bench-wise mining units for surface mining operations, which optimizes losses and dilution with due account for the spatial variability of the ore and gangue rock composition. The software module is based on both wireframe and pure block models, and takes into account a given development direction. The algorithm defines the mineable reserves of the deposit as a set of mining unit models. The module determines the expected levels of rational loss and dilution for each mining units of the bench, for each ore body, for the bench and for the open pit in general. The mining units also become the reference points for the design of blasting operations and the basis for the development of special measures to modify the parameters of the mining system locally. The obtained mineable reserves can be used in defining the pit boundaries and planning mining operations, and the contours of mining units will guide the design of the blast blocks. The algorithm can also be used to clarify the pit boundaries in the footwall of a sloping deposit and for economic comparison of the development options.

Published: December 2023

The article presents an approach to determining the stability of the pit walls and benches using a set of methods. The results of numerical modeling of the stress-and-strain state are presented for the rock mass in vicinities of one of the quarries in the Khibiny Apatite Arc. Calculations were made using elastic approach to a three-dimensional finite-element model which incorporates basic geological, mining engineering and geomechanical data. The impact of gravitational and tectonic stress field is demonstrated on the stability of the pit wall and benches during its development. Potentially unstable areas have been determined in the wall and benches of the open pit design contour. The identified features of the stress-and-strain state of the rock mass in vicinities of the pit wall make it possible to increase the justification level of technical solutions for the development of surface mining operations and to design preventive measures that would ensure the stability of structural elements of the open pit.
La religion des autres. Regard cicéronien sur les cultes de Sicile
Authors: Luciani Sabine
Published: December 2023

In the Verrines, Cicero uses a representation of Sicilian religion to denounce Verres. The aim of this article is to analyse the issues at stake in this religious ‘ethnography’: we begin by clarifying the role attributed to the religious motif in the argumentative edifice of the Verrines, before focusing on the De signis to study the cartography of holy places, and then the references to Sicilian religious objects and practices. The piety of the Sicilians appears to be a key element in the argument, reinforcing the motif of Verres’ impiety while at the same time instilling a sense of closeness with the Roman audience.
Una revisión bibliográfica

Published: December 2023

This study aims to provide a historical overview of the translation of linguistic variation in translation studies. It is well known that linguistic variation is most prevalent in literary texts and, consequently, in all creative works. In addition to the difficulties of translating literature, there are also the obstacles of bringing the variation of dialects and registers, so deeply rooted in a specific culture, into a different language and culture, which means that the translation of linguistic variation has been and continues to be one of the recurring themes in translation studies. This paper will show the attention that the discipline has paid over time to this classic problem of translation and will highlight some classifications of translation strategies applied to linguistic variation will be highlighted. As will be seen, the transfer of variation from one language to another is almost always conditioned by factors beyond the purely linguistic.

Digital Depth: A Volumetric Speculation
Authors: De Seta Gabriele
Published: December 2023

Counter commonplace associations with superficial mediation and networked flatness, the digital seems to have its own peculiar depths, which range from the infrastructural (deep sea cables, deep packet inspection, crawl depth) to the metaphorical (Deep Web, deep learning, deepfakes). This article reviews recent discussions of digital depth and argues that this concept is central to understanding multiple aspects of digital media ranging from folk theorizations to technical expertise. What is digital depth? What is deep about digital media? How does this depth interface with volumes and scales beyond the digital? Through this effort, depth emerges as an underlying feature of deeply mediatized societies.

Authors: Listiana Akma , Jasa Novi Eniastina
Published: December 2023

Â The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that worldwide more than 585,000 women die each year during pregnancy or childbirth. The maternal mortality rate is used as an indicator to describe the level of awareness of healthy living behavior, nutritional problems and maternal health. Nutritional problems that commonly occur in pregnant women are nutritional deficiencies, both macro and micro nutritional deficiencies which are manifested in chronic energy deficiency status (KEK). Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK) is a condition in which the mother suffers from chronic (chronic) food shortages, causing health problems for pregnant women. (Paramashanti, 2021). The average prevalence of pregnant women who experience CED in the world is 15-47% (WHO, 2012). Indonesia is a country that has moderate category of public health problems (5-9.9%) for pregnant women at risk of KEK. (Riskesdas, 2018).The design of this research is analytic with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all pregnant women who had their pregnancy checked at PMB. Wirahayu in January-August 2022 totaled 430 people. The sample taken is the entire population of 430 people. Data analysis techniques are univariate and bivariate. Based on the results of research from 430 pregnant women, it was found that 83 pregnant women (19.3%) experienced CED. Statistical test results obtained p-value 0.015, this means that there is a relationship between parity to the incidence of KEK. Based on the age of the respondent, the results of the statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.000, which means that there is a relationship between maternal age and the incidence of Â KEK.In this study, because there are still many KEK incidence rates, regardless of parity and maternal age, it is better if pregnant women during ANC are given explanations, leaflets and descriptions of the dangers of Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK), so that mothers can understand the impact of KEK.Â Â Â

Published: December 2023

Long-term use of hormonal contraception has various effects on acceptors. These side effects can be minimized by using non-hormonal contraceptives (condoms, IUDs, MOW) where their use is still very low. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the use of non-hormonal contraceptives in WUS. The research design is quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The sample of this study was 194 women of childbearing age who were taken by random technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The statistical test used was univariate with percentage, bivariate with chi square and multivariate with logistic regression. The results of the bivariate analysis of several variables showed that there was a relationship between age (p = 0.049), service availability (p = 0.000) with the use of non-hormonal contraceptives. While the variables of knowledge, husband's support, parity, family income, information on health workers and access proved to have no relationship with the use of contraceptives.

Published: December 2023

The puerperium is the period after delivery up to 40 days when the reproductive organs recover. Postpartum services according to standards are provided to mothers and newborns from 6 hours to 42 days after delivery at least three times through home visits for early detection, treatment, or referral of complications that may occur during the postpartum period, as well as provide an explanation about health in general. One of the efforts made by the government is to procure MCH Handbook equipped with important information for mothers and babies, including screening for early detection of complications. Cadres will assist mothers in maximizing the utilization of MCH handbooks in the obedience of postpartum mothers to carry out postpartum visits, independent screening media for complications of the postpartum period and sources of receiving informational educational counseling during the postpartum period. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of using MCH handbook through the 40 Days CARE method for independently preventing complications in postpartum mothers. The design used was the Pre-Experiment (One Shot Case Study) with a sample of 30 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection used a questionnaire. Data analysis used T Test (Î± = 0.05). The results showed p value of 0.000, which means that there was an effect of using MCH handbook through the 40 Days CARE method on independently preventing complications in postpartum mothers. Based on this result, it is known that postpartum assistance has an influence and is effective in increasing the mothersâ€™ independence in detecting and preventing postpartum complications, so the consistency in postpartum assistance and outreach to health cadres regarding this activity are badly needed
Low-temperature exposure in early embryogenesis as a way of increasing the resistance of chicks to infectious diseases
Authors: Fedorova E. S. , Stanishevskaya O. I.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of increasing the resistance of chicks from hatching to the age of 3 weeks to infectious diseases by technological methods. Dosed low-temperature exposure to the embryo during the sensitive period of early embryogenesis was proposed as an impact factor; influenza vaccine virus was used as a test virus for experimental infection of embryos. It was found that in the embryos after cooling, the titer of the virus was significantly lower by 1.5-12.0 times (p<0.001) compared with the control. This fact indicates a decrease in the replicative activity of viral strains in embryos of this group. In chicken embryos of Russian Snow-White breed after cooling, there was a decrease in the infectious activity of the influenza A virus by 11.5 %, as well as a decrease in the infectious activity of the infectious bronchitis virus by 3.6-6.9 %, depending on the breed of the embryos. The level of chick resistance in the experimental group to diseases of bacterial etiology was also higher, as evidenced by the higher safety of 3-week-old chicks (0.8-1.1 % higher than in the control) and a higher bursa index in 12-day-old chicks (8.5-9.0 % higher than in the control). The hatchability of eggs of the experimental group was also 4.5 % higher than in the control. The effects obtained as a result of hypothermic exposure during this sensitive period of embryogenesis can be explained by inducing the production of heat and cold shock proteins by the embryo, which, in turn, activate innate antiviral reactions caused by major histocompatibility complex. However, this issue requires additional study with the involvement of molecular genetics methods, since the supposed mechanisms that cause an increase in resistance in response to low-temperature exposure in early ontogenesis need to be confirmed.

The purpose of the research was to study the content of ceruloplasmin, copper and copper-coordinating amino acids (in the molecule of the studied protein) in the milk of white-and- black cows at different periods of lactation. The research methods were: modified method for determining ceruloplasmin by Revin; copper was determined using a ZEEnit 650 P atomic adsorption spectrometer (Analytik Jena AG, Germany), amino acid analysis was performed using a highly efficient LC-20 Prominence liquid chromatography system (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a reaction module for post-column derivatization with ninhydrin ARM-1000 (Sevko & Co., Moscow, Russia). The study groups were formed depending on the timing of lactation: 1-2 months – group 1; 3-5 months – group 2; 6-7 months – group 3; 8-9 months – group 4. Each group included 8 animals. The Mann-Whitney U criterion and Pearson correlations were used for statistical processing of the obtained results. The average values of ceruloplasmin levels in the groups were 0.44-0.49 mg/ml, copper 71-83 mcg/l, histidine 0.11-013 g/100g, cysteine 0.03 g/100g and methionine 0.09-0.11 g/100g. In these 4 groups, small differences were found in the content of ceruloplasmin, copper and three amino acids, but only for the second and fourth groups of histidine, these differences were significant. Thus, the indicated intervals of ceruloplasmin and copper content can serve as important guidelines for determining the "reference intervals" for cow milk in general, while it is not necessary to take into account different lactation periods.
Testing flax fibers using high-speed bending
Authors: Pashin E. L. , Orlov A. V.
Published: December 2023

The article presents a method of measuring bending rigidity of flax fiber during high-speed bending. This method is an important part of the effort to reduce the dependency on imported cotton. Unlike the standardized testing methods, the suggested approach closer imitates the conditions present during fiber processing and exploitation of fiber products. For evaluation of bending rigidity of flax fiber during high-speed bending there was used the scheme of loading (meeting the factors of Eule – Bernoulli theory) of a sample fixed in a cantilevered way with the following determination of the work done by bending and deformation by interaction with impact pendulum. The value of sample deformation was determined on the basis of the control of moments of the time of angle velocities deformation which took place by operating movement (during the tests) and free movement of the pendulum. The specific feature of determining the time of deformation were more precise calculations: of angle velocity of the pendulum considering the force of resistance to its free movement; of pendulum motion periods at different stages of its movement during its interaction with the sample; of the time of starting and finishing the interaction by sample bending using the method of dichotomy by approximation of angle velocity values; of angle velocity variation at different stages of its movement during its interaction with the sample. These more precise calculations has become the basis of generalized algorithm for determining the bending deformation by interaction with impact pendulum, done by electronic calculator. A hardware-software complex has been created that employs this algorithm to measure and visualize both sample deformation and pendulum energy loss, as well as angular velocity of the pendulum. A comparison of different kinds of natural bast fibers has been performed – specifically, flax, nettle and hemp. The bending rigidity of these samples has been determined to be 1.42, 2.53 and 6.45 newton‧mm2 accordingly. These differences match the well-known properties of those materials.

Authors: Zhuikova O. A. , Batalova G. A.
Published: December 2023

The research was carried out in 2020-2022 in the central part of the Kirov region, under varying weather conditions. In the nursery of the competitive variety testing, 3 varieties and 8 lines of hulled oats were studied in order to analyze their adaptive ability according to the elements of the productivity structure. Varieties and lines were characterized based on the sum of the ranks of the evaluation results according to the methods of S. A. Eberhart, W. A. Rassel (1966), N. A. Plokhinsky (1961), L. A. Zhivotkov et al. (1994), A. A. Rosielle and J. Hamblin (1981). There was a direct statistically significant effect of the mass of 1000 grains, the mass of grain from the panicle, the number of grains in the panicle on the yield (r = 0.62…0.85). The formation of the elements of the productivity structure depended on the hydrothermal conditions of individual periods of vegetation (r = 0.63…0.72). The method of two-factor analysis of variance revealed that the influence of the "year" factor on the elements of the productivity structure was more significant (33.7...64.3 %) than the "grade" factor (8.5...24.6 %). There have been identified lines and varieties able to form consistently high yields in contrasting weather conditions due to certain structural elements or their combined influence. A high adaptive capacity with a minimum amount of ranks was obtained by the number of spikelets in the 41h18 line (Σranks = 17), varieties Kirovsky 2 (Σranks = 14); by the number of grains in the panicle and by the weight of grains from the panicle – line 41h18 (Σranks = 14 and 15); by the weight of 1000 grains – lines 25h18, 91h18, 41h18, 50h18, 162h15 (Σranks = 21…27), varieties Medved’ and Kirovsky 2 (Σranks = 18…22). According to the total lowest sum of ranks (71...97), the Kirovsky grade 2, promising lines 25h18 and 41h18 have been identified.
Records of pharmacologically valuable ascomycete fungus Cordyceps militaris (L) Fr. in the Kirov region
Authors: Shirokikh A. A.
Published: December 2023

Fungi of the genus Cordyceps Fr. (1818) (Ascomycota: Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) are widely distributed throughout the world, many species are cosmopolitan. Cordyceps are known as entomopathogenic fungi that infect caterpillars and pupae of insects. The fruit bodies of Chinese cordyceps Ophiocordyceps sinensis (synonym Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc) are also well known for their pharmacological effects and are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. This species has a limited distribution and, due to the huge demand, its resources are rapidly depleted in the wild due to uncontrolled fees. In addition, O. sinensis is difficult to cultivate artificially. Another entomopathogenic species of fungus, Cordyceps militaris, has a chemical composition and properties similar to those of O. sinensis, but, unlike O. sinensis, it is easier to be grown artificially in mycelial culture. In this regard, the study of the distribution and occurrence of the fungus Cordyceps militaris has now acquired exceptional relevance. The article presents data on the first sporadic records of Cordyceps militaris fungus, which has unique biological properties, in the Kirov region. The ecological strategy of the population of this species, the peculiarities of its distribution and population fluctuations in Russia are discussed. The question is considered why, with the wide distribution of this species, it is considered rare and even included in the Red Books of individual regions. C. militaris found in the northern part of the Kirov region was isolated into pure culture (strain T1) for artificial cultivation and study of physiological and biochemical properties. The expediency of including natural cordyceps isolates obtained by introduction into mycelial culture in mycological collection funds is substantiated, since artificial cultivation of the fungus is of obvious interest for the development of biotechnologies in medicine, veterinary medicine, crop production and plant protection.

Objective Schizophrenia is a complex and devastating psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic background. However, much uncertainty still exists about the role of genetic susceptibility in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) is a transcription factor associated with neurodevelopment and has modulating effects on various nervous system diseases. In the current study, we performed a case–control association study in a Northeast Chinese Han population to explore the characteristics of pathogenic TEAD1 polymorphisms and potential association with schizophrenia.Methods We recruited a total of 721 schizophrenia patients and 1,195 healthy controls in this study. The 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene region of TEAD1 were selected and genotyped.Results The genetic association analyses showed that five SNPs (rs12289262, rs6485989, rs4415740, rs7113256, and rs1866709) were significantly different between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls in allele or/and genotype frequencies. After Bonferroni correction, the association of three SNPs (rs4415740, rs7113256, and rs1866709) with schizophrenia were still evident. Haplotype analysis revealed that two strong linkage disequilibrium blocks (rs6485989-rs4415740-rs7113256 and rs16911710-rs12364619-rs1866709) were globally associated with schizophrenia. Four haplotypes (C-C-C and T-T-T, rs6485989-rs4415740-rs7113256; G-T-A and G-T-G, rs16911710-rs12364619-rs1866709) were significantly different between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.Conclusion The current findings indicated that the human TEAD1 gene has a genetic association with schizophrenia in the Chinese Han population and may act as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia.

Objective To overcome the limited effectiveness of standard case management services, the Seoul Intensive Case Management program (S-ICM) for patients with serious mental illnesses was introduced in 2017. This study aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing the length of hospital stay.Methods Monitoring data from April 2019 to March 2020 were retrieved from the Seoul Mental Health Welfare Center. A total of 759 participants with serious mental illnesses were included. The average length of admission per month was compared between the pre-ICM (previous year) and during-ICM periods. For post-ICM observation subgroup, average length of admission per month was compared between pre-ICM, during-ICM, and post-ICM periods. To determine the relative contributions of risk factors for during-ICM and post-ICM admission, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.Results The average admission stay for pre-ICM period was significantly longer than that for during-ICM period (1.47 vs. 0.26 days). Among the predictors for during-ICM admission, pre-ICM psychiatric admission was the most important risk factor, followed by medical aid beneficiary and suicidal behavior. In the subgroup analysis of the post-ICM observation period, the pre-ICM, during-ICM, and post-ICM average admission stays were 1.45, 0.29, and 0.57 days/month, respectively. There was a significant difference in the average length of stay between the pre-ICM and during-ICM periods and between the pre-ICM and post-ICM periods. Post-ICM admission risks included pre-ICM admission, S-ICM duration <3 months, and chronic unstable symptoms.Conclusion The results suggest that the S-ICM effectively reduces psychiatric hospitalization duration, at least over a short-term period.

Published: December 2023

Objective Early trauma significantly affects the severity of panic disorder (PD) symptoms and suicidal ideation. However, few studies have explored the specific effects of different early trauma subtypes on PD. This study analyzed how childhood trauma subtypes, including general, physical, emotional, and sexual, influence panic and phobia levels and suicidal ideation in adults with PD and healthy controls (HCs).Methods In total, 455 adults with PD and 149 HCs participated in this study. The independent variables were sociodemographic and clinical variables such as coping strategies and early trauma subtypes from the Early Trauma Inventory Self Report-Short Form. The dependent variables were the Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire (APPQ), the Panic Disorder Severity Scale, and the Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI).Results Early emotional trauma significantly influenced the APPQ scores, whereas early physical trauma significantly influenced the SSI scores in patients with PD. However, in HCs, only early emotional trauma was significantly associated with the APPQ and SSI scores.Conclusion These findings highlight the influence of early trauma subtypes on the phobic symptom severity of PD and suicidal ideation among patients with PD. Early emotional trauma is associated with the severity of phobic symptoms, whereas early physical trauma is associated with suicidal ideation, suggesting distinct clinical outcomes based on the type of trauma in patients with PD.

This study examines the transmission mode of the "The Five Major Tunes of Lunan" in schools from the perspective of ethnomusicology. Using the "Twelve Continuum Transmission Framework" (TCTF) proposed by Huib Schippers in 2010 as the research framework, the researcher conducted semi-structured face-to-face interviews with nine interviewees, including inheritors of the "The Five Major Tunes of Lunan," music teachers of Tancheng County's First Experimental Primary School, teachers from Shandong University of the Arts and School of Music of Linyi University. The interview content mainly involves 11 questions in three fields: issues of context, modes of transmission, and dimensions of interaction. The results show significant differences in the modes of "The Five Major Tunes of Lunan" in school education and folk natural transmission. What worries the researcher is that when traditional music that is naturally inherited in folk is taught in a formal school setting, the risk of unsuccessful transmission will increase. Finally, based on the viewpoint of ethnomusicology that focuses on cultural context, the researcher puts forward suggestions for improving the teaching strategies when "The Five Major Tunes of Lunan" is transmitted in schools.

Published: December 2023

Because systematic review and meta-analysis studies provide clinicians with the information quickly about evidence-based practices, they are crucial. It was aimed in this review to explain how a systematic review and meta-analysis study is conducted and with what stages it is carried out. The stages in a systematic review and meta-analysis are; a) Determining the research question b) Identifying keywords and databases for literature review c) Describing the characteristics of studies to be included and excluded from the systematic review or meta-analysis d) Recording the systematic review and meta-analysis into a protocol e) Searching relevant databases and creating a research pool f) Reading the titles and abstracts of the studies in the research pool and choosing the studies to be included/excluded from the systematic review and meta-analysis g) Checking the inter-observer reliability h) Deciding on the statistical analysis method and analyzing the data ı) Performing additional analyses i) Determining the quality of evidence. Consequently, to ensure the accuracy of the results, systematic review and meta-analysis studies that guide clinical practices should be elaborately and systematically conducted. This will enable clinicians working in the health sciences (medicine, psychology, etc.) to quickly and accurately use the findings of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Nachbarschaft im Streit
Authors: Montau Robert
Published: December 2023

In Nachbarschaften gibt es Gleichgültigkeit und Neugier, Vorurteile und Offenheit, Harmonie – und Streit. In den Grauzonen zwischen privatem und öffentlichem Leben zeigen solche Streitfälle ein breites Spektrum von Verwicklung, Übelwollen und Bitterkeit. Risse im nahen Umfeld sind jedoch auch Miniaturen von tieferen Störungen: Wie überlagert das Trennende das Verbindende zwischen Menschen, die nahe beieinander leben? Was steht überhaupt auf dem Spiel, wenn Nachbar*innen streiten? Robert Montau identifiziert Mechanismen der Abscheu und Demütigung, des Aussperrens von Anderen und der projektiven Modellierung von Mitmenschen zu Widersacher*innen, die zwischen Nachbar*innen und darüber hinaus wirksam sind. Der Autor vermittelte als Sozialpsychologe und Mediator zwölf Jahre zwischen streitenden Bewohner*innen von Mietshäusern. In 16 Vignetten beschreibt er, was den Streit zwischen Nachbar*innen prägt. Damit bietet er erkenntnisreiche Einblicke in typische Verläufe von Konflikten im sozialen Nahraum.

Scientific relevance.Cardiac glycosides have been used in medicine for over two centuries. Current studies suggest that biologically active substances from this group can be used to treat not only heart conditions but also viral infections, cancers, and other diseases. Therefore, quality control methods for cardiac glycosides are becoming increasingly relevant.

Aim.Based on a review of Russian and international quality standards, as well as up-to-date scientific data, this study aimed to identify promising methods for the identification and quantification of cardiac glycosides in herbal drugs and herbal medicinal products, as well as to evaluate the possibility of substituting physicochemical methods for biological methods.

Discussion.The methods that are currently used to standardise cardiac glycosides are either not selective or require laboratory animals (biological test systems). According to a study of pharmacopoeial methods for the identification of cardiac glycosides in herbal drugs and herbal medicinal products, chemical identification tests and thin-layer chromatography continue to be relevant. Quantitative testing of herbal drugs and extracts uses biological and non-selective (spectrophotometry) methods, whereas chromatography is described only in general and individual monographs for herbal drug preparations containing individual cardiac glycosides and medicinal products containing these preparations. Upon analysing quality standards and scientific publications, the authors identified potentially promising methods for the quantification of cardiac glycosides in herbal drugs, herbal drug preparations, and herbal medicinal products, namely chromatographic methods.

Conclusions.Reverse-phase high-performance liquid cjromatography (HPLC) with spectrophotometric detection is the most suitable method for pharmacopoeial analysis. The development of an HPLC-based analytical procedure to determine the cardiac glycoside content will provide an opportunity to advance from biological or non-selective methods to more ethical and selective up-to-date techniques.
Modelling Local Demand and Locational Configuration in Floating Catchment Area Measures of Spatial Accessibility
Authors: Mahuve Frank , Tarımo Beatrice
Published: December 2023

The modelling of catchment-based instead of local demand and optimal instead of sub-optimal character (i.e., locational configuration) of service delivery systems, commonly done in Floating Catchment Area (FCA) measures, generate spatial accessibility indices that might be misleading. The ability of recent FCA measures, three-step (3S) FCA, Modified (M) two-step (2S) FCA, and Balanced (B) FCA to capture local demand and locational configuration was examined in hypothetical systems and Rural Wards of Dodoma Urban District and found to be less appealing. The resulting 3SFCA, M2SFCA, and BFCA spatial accessibility indices inconsistently varied with the local demand or locational configuration. Thus, the study proposed a Modified (M) 3SFCA measure to effectively capture local demand and locational configuration. The proposed M3SFCA measure was implemented in hypothetical systems and Rural Wards of Dodoma Urban District and found to generate spatial accessibility indices that logically varied with local demand and locational configuration. The service users (or households) with low local demand or closer to service providers (or water points) are characterized by higher spatial accessibility indices and vice versa. This characterization of spatial accessibility indices is more realistic and essential for effective monitoring of progress made on the global and national development goals.
Introduction and breeding of shadbush in Russia and abroad
Authors: Rengarten G. A.
Published: December 2023

Shadbush is one of the underutilized berry crops. Originally, it was an ornamental crop, but now it is increasingly used as a food crop. Numerous species of shadbush belong to the genus Amelanchier Medik.; wild species grow in North America, Europe, as well as in Western and Eastern Asia, and each region has different species composition. The year of 1590 marked the beginning of introduction of wild shadbush species with the most valuable features to other countries. In the 19th century, the introduction of shadbush became most popular. In 1800, shadbush breeding was launched in Canada, and then in the USA. In 1937, the production of commercial varieties was established. At present, in Russia, the most productive work on introduction and breeding of shadbush is carried out in Michurinsk (All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Horticulture named after I.V. Michurin), Novosibirsk (Central Siberian Botanical Garden of SB RAS), and Moscow (N.V. Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden). Unfortunately, the assortment of shadbush varieties in Russia is still quite limited and is represented by only two varieties. In recent years, the development of methods of shadbush clonal micropropagation has been underway, which makes it possible to obtain planting material on an industrial scale and accelerate the reproduction of rare varieties.

Introducción. La gastrectomía y disección ganglionar es el estándar de manejo para los pacientes con cáncer gástrico. Factores como la identificación de ganglios por el patólogo, pueden tener un impacto negativo en la estadificación y el tratamiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el recuento ganglionar de un espécimen quirúrgico después de una gastrectomía completa (grupo A) y de un espécimen con un fraccionamiento por grupos ganglionares (grupo B).
Métodos. Estudio de una base de datos retrospectiva de pacientes sometidos a gastrectomía D2 en el Servicio de Cirugía gastrointestinal de la Liga Contra el Cáncer seccional Risaralda, Pereira, Colombia. Se comparó el recuento ganglionar en especímenes quirúrgicos con y sin división ganglionar por regiones anatómicas previo a su envío a patología.
Resultados. De los 94 pacientes intervenidos, 65 pertenecían al grupo A y 29 pacientes al grupo B. El promedio de ganglios fue de 24,4±8,6 y 32,4±14,4 respectivamente (p=0,004). El porcentaje de pacientes con más de 15 y de 25 ganglios fue menor en el grupo A que en el grupo B (27 vs 57, p=0,432 y 19 vs 24, p=0,014). El promedio de pacientes con una relación ganglionar menor 0,2 fue mayor en el grupo B (72,4 % vs 55,4 %, p=0,119).
Conclusiones. Los resultados de nuestro estudio mostraron que una división por grupos ganglionares previo a la valoración del espécimen por el servicio de patología incrementa el recuento ganglionar y permite establecer de manera certera el pronóstico de los pacientes, teniendo un impacto positivo en su estadificación, para evitar el sobretratamiento.
