Authors: Drozd A. V. , Zhmurkina P. S.
Published: August 2024

The development and intensification of the dairy industry currently often leads to the appearance of counterfeit food products in circulation. Component adulteration of milk is widespread in relation to the most valuable protein component. To date, the problem is that the estimation of the amount of protein in milk and its processed products by arbitration methods is based on the determination of nitrogen and is currently imperfect, since when adulterated with nitrogencontaining substances such as melamine, urea gives false inflated values and does not allow for operational input and production control. We have analyzed the regulatory framework, scientific publications of domestic and foreign authors, review materials from open sources over the past 10 years on the issues of falsification of the protein component of milk and its processed products, methods of identification of adulterating components. As a result of the analysis of regulatory documents and scientific literature, it was established that the existing methods approved in regulatory documents are laborious to reproduce, require special equipment, training of personnel to work on this equipment, the use of chemical reagents and auxiliary equipment, often expensive. The modern method of identifying melamine using infrared analyzers will allow to establish its quantitative values with great accuracy in the presence of appropriate calibration dependencies, in many ways accelerate and simplify the procedure for delivery and acceptance of raw milk while maintaining quality and safety indicators at a high level in accordance with regulatory documents.

The purpose of this research was to study the influence of the conditioned medium of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue and bone marrow of sheep on the quality parameters of sperm during a threehour incubation. The sperm of sexually mature rams of the Romanov and Dorper breeds at the age of 1-2.5 years was taken and examined. A total of 10 samples were taken (n=10). Conditioned medium (CM) was collected after 72 h of cultivation in mattresses with 90-100% cell monolayer. Three groups of samples, 10 in each, were formed: control (spermatozoa 7x1010 cells/ml + PBS buffer 100 μl, pH – 7.4), first experimental (spermatozoa 7x1010 cells/ml + conditioned medium (CM) MSC BM 2x108 cells/ml, pH – 7.2), the second experimental one (spermatozoa 7x1010 cells/ml + conditioned medium (CM) MSCs in adipose tissue 2x108 cells/ml, pH – 7.2). Comparisons of values were made at each incubation stage (0, 1, 2 and 3 hours) within each group. It was found that the use of conditioned medium of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue and bone marrow of sheep at a concentration of 2x108 cells/ml and spermatozoa at a concentration of 7x1010 cells/ml in terms of improving the quality indicators of germ cells. During a three-hour incubation of sheep sperm with conditioned medium of mesenchymal stem cells (MS), a decrease in the number of progressively moving sperm was observed. At the same time, a statistically significant difference was recorded in the first experimental group (CS MSC BM) on the 3rd hour of incubation: 1.9 times (p<0.01), as well as in the second experimental group (CS MSC VT) on the 2nd and 3rd hour of incubation compared with indicators of 0 hour of incubation: 1.4 times (p≤0.05) and 2.4 (p<0.01), respectively. A statistically significant decrease in the number of morphologically normal sperm was recorded during an hour-long incubation with conditioned medium of MSCs from sheep bone marrow and amounted to 43.90±2.22% (p=0.04).

The results of blood tests are important indicators for assessing and monitoring the health status, adaptation processes and metabolic states of the body. Currently, there is insufficient data on the effect of the Newcastle disease virus on peripheral blood parameters in animals, and there is also no information on changes in these parameters during Newcastle disease and the simultaneous use of silver preparations in animals. Although the mechanisms of the antiviral action of silver nanoparticles are not yet fully studied, researches show their effectiveness. The purpose of research was to study changes in hematological parameters with using silver preparations in laboratory ICR mice infected with Newcastle disease virus. The object of the study was the blood of laboratory ICR mice, infected with the Newcastle disease virus, and healthy ones as a control, and also silver preparations: Argosil and ArgovitMaxi. As a result of hematological studies, a significant effect of the Newcastle disease virus on hematological parameters was established. Deviations of the main blood parameters in infected animals were demonstrated: there was an increase in the content of granulocytes, the number of erythrocytes, the hemoglobin content and hematocrit; the number of lymphocytes and the average erythrocytes volume were reduced. It was also found that the use of the preparation Argosil significantly reduces the content of monocytes in ICR mice against the background of Newcastle disease viral infection. The use of the preparation Argovit significantly affects the decrease in monocytes and erythrocyte blood parameters: it increases the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and reduces the average hemoglobin content in an erythrocyte, the average hemoglobin concentration in an erythrocyte.

Published: August 2024

The study is relevant due to the high incidence of spinal cord compression pathologies in dogs requiring surgical intervention, and was carried out with the aim of conducting a biomechanical assessment of spinal cord decompression methods and identifying a decompression technique that has the least destabilizing effect on the thoracolumbar spine. The studies were carried out in 2023-2024. on the basis of the Department of Veterinary Surgery of the Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology - MBA named after K.I. Scriabin" and the Laboratory for the Development and Testing of Medical Devices and Materials of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "National Medical Research Center for Orthopedics named after. N.N. Priorov" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The object of the study was sectional material, namely, samples of the thoracolumbar spine of dogs of chondrodystrophic and non-chondrodystrophic breeds weighing from 3 to 10 kg at the age of 5 to 8 years (20 samples in total). The range of motion of the vertebrae and the force of destruction of the spinal motion segments were determined in the native state and after modeling decompression techniques (hemilaminectomy and mini-hemilaminectomy). During hemilaminectomy, statistically significant changes in the biomechanical characteristics of the thoracolumbar spine were noted compared to mini-hemilaminectomy: an increase in the range of motion of the vertebrae in the area of decompression; increasing the range of motion of the vertebrae in topographically adjacent segments; reduction in the force of destruction of the segment in the area of decompression (changes are more pronounced in dogs of chondrodystrophic breeds). The data obtained by the authors of the article indicate that hemilaminectomy is a more destabilizing technique compared to minihemilaminectomy, and for extrusions in the thoracolumbar spine in dogs, preference should be given to mini-hemilaminectomy.

Published: August 2024

Acne was a chronic skin disorder that was most often found in adolescents, so it frequently caused psychological effects that made the acne fighters look for ways to treat it quickly. Although topical antibiotics effectively treat acne, excessive long-term use can cause resistance. This has led to an interest in natural antimicrobials as an alternative treatment for acne. The natural antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of bacang mango (Mangifera foetida L.) leaves has previously been reported to have antibacterial effects against Propionibacterium acnes, but only in the form of extracts not formulated into pharmaceutical preparations. Therefore, this study aimed to re-test the antibacterial activity of this extract, which has now been formulated into a gel preparation against the same bacteria. The gelling agent used in the gel formulation was Na-CMC with three different concentrations: 3%, 4%, and 5%. The Agar stab technique tests the antibacterial activity for three different extract concentrations. Those were 10%, 15%, and 20% for optimization of inhibitory activity before being formulated. Based on the results of testing the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of bacang mango (Mangifera foetida L.) leaves, an extract concentration of 20% had a more potent inhibitory activity than the others so that this concentration was chosen to be formulated into a gel preparation. After the formulation of the extracted gel, Na-CMC with a concentration of 5% produced a better gel base than other formulations. In addition, the three formulations provided the same inhibitory activity of 10 mm, so it can be concluded that the differences in gelling agent concentrations did not affect the antibacterial activity of the extracts in the preparations. However, a 3 mm decrease in inhibition occurred in the extract after it was formulated into a gel preparation. Even so, the extract gel preparation still has antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes with antimicrobial inhibition zone activity, which is in the moderate category.

Social media has grown exponentially as an open, social platform for communication and information sharing. By April 2020, there were 3.81 billion active users, fueled by increased internet and mobile phone access. A notable aspect of these platforms is their potential in public health initiatives, reaching large audiences and offering direct messaging capabilities. Social networks often exhibit higher engagement and retention rates than traditional web-based approaches, and their interactive nature may have a more significant impact. Social media has been utilized for healthrelated interventions, public health campaigns, medical education, disease outbreak tracking, and health research. It facilitates cost-effective, two-way communication between healthcare professionals and patients, enhancing current medical practices. However, the use of technologies and eHealth applications presents challenges, including establishing trust, adhering to regulations, and curating optimal content. The emotional content of user-generated information, especially during health crises, raises concerns about misinformation, stigma, and mental health issues such as cyberbullying and depression. The misuse of social media can harm personal relationships and reputations. In medical contexts, it requires careful handling of information accuracy and accessibility. Issues with compliance, trust, and patient privacy have impacted doctor-patient relationships. The development of standard protocols for health information dissemination and understanding personal health data usage in various cultural and social contexts remains a key area for further research and exploration.

Kawasaki Disease (KD) has been a challenge in medicine ever since it was first described in 1967. This illness presents as a fever accompanied by a range of mucocutaneous symptoms making it crucial to have sharp diagnostic skills. It is characterized by inflammation of arteries throughout the body particularly affecting the cardiovascular system. Suspected triggers include agents, genetic factors and immune responses. KD pathophysiology is closely linked to dysregulation, especially involving inflammatory cytokines. Diagnosis relies on criteria such as fever for more than five days and specific symptoms. The primary pharmacological treatments involve immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin to reduce inflammation and prevent complications in the arteries. In cases corticosteroids and immunomodulatory agents may be considered. Long term follow-up with collaboration among healthcare professionals is essential for monitoring any abnormalities in the arteries. Echocardiography plays a role in this process by providing insights into complications that may arise over time. Ongoing research aims to explore options as part of a comprehensive approach to KD management that emphasizes continuous research and an adaptable strategy for achieving the best possible outcomes.
Postpartum Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Reducing Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review of Randomized Control Trials
Authors: Albegami Ahmad Hamad , Albegami Fadwa Hamad , Albegami Faygah Hamad
Published: August 2024

Postpartum urinary incontinence is an increasingly prevalent problem for women, as it affects about one-third of women. The clinical significance of urine incontinence in relation to deficiencies in the active and passive pelvic floor structures is well recognized. Hence, pelvic floor muscle training (PMFT) treatment for urine incontinence is recommended. Several research studies suggest that PFMT prevents and treats pregnancy- and delivery-related urine incontinence. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of postpartum PFMT for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Randomized control trials reporting the efficiency of PFMT among postpartum women from 2003–2023 were included. Studies including pregnant women or women who underwent any surgical intervention, along with studies describing pharmacological interventions and others apart from PFMT or PFMT with electrostimulation or biofeedback, were excluded. Additionally, studies with insufficient or unclear data regarding pregnancy outcomes were excluded. A Cochrane bias risk assessment tool was utilized to assess the quality of the studies. Final inclusion resulted in 7 studies that recruited 1398 patients. Four of the included trials assessed the endurance and strength of PFMT, and various rates of strength and endurance were observed among participants in both the intervention and control groups. The prevalence of urinary incontinence in comparison to the control group was observed to be lower in the intervention group, which demonstrates the beneficial role of PFMT in the management of urinary incontinence postpartum. There is strong evidence to suggest the effectiveness of PFMT in the management of postpartum urinary incontinence. However, this beneficial role of PFMT is often overlooked or under-described in clinical practice, for which awareness among clinicians and patients is vital. Additionally, awareness and planning for PFMT execution during antenatal visits can also help prevent urinary incontinence postpartum.

The present study designed a model for the implementation of constructive leadership in the higher education system using an interpretive structural modeling approach. This study was applied in terms of aim and qualitative type of descriptive in terms of method of implementation. The statistical population of the study included experts in educational and constructive leadership in higher education at Urmia University. Based on the principle of random sampling, 7 of them were selected as a sample using convenience and snowball sampling methods. A semi-structured interview with experts whose questions were designed based on the theoretical foundations of constructive leadership in higher education with the help of professors was used as the study tool. The validity of the results was examined and confirmed by the triangulation method. Also, its face validity was confirmed by the opinions of experts who were not members of the study, and its reliability was calculated at 0.83 using the inter-coder coefficient of the agreement method. The data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed with open, axial, and selective coding based on grounded theory in MAXQDA software. The results showed that the model of constructive leadership in higher education based on grounded theory included 12 components and 9 dimensions. The category of causal conditions included two dimensions of the necessity of constructive management (with two components of knowledge management and organizational innovation) and organizational culture (with two components of collaborative management and innovative atmosphere). The category of contextual conditions included two dimensions of management maturity (with the component of evaluating and applying policies for constructive management) and the system of fostering change and transformation (with the component of establishing relationships with aligned people and organizations). The category of intervening conditions included the dimension of competition with the surrounding environment and increasing progress (with the component of planning and paying attention to facilities). The category of strategies included two dimensions having facilities and requirements (with the component of financing and equipment) and responsibility and cooperation (with the components of empathy and public desire). Finally, the category of implications included two dimensions of academic development (with 2 components of individual competence development and university development) and social development (with the component of gaining public trust).
TURBULENCE IN DISGUISE IN THE BANKING SECTOR CREATE PANIC WITHDRAWAL OF MONEY IN BANGLADESH
Authors: Al MOSHARRAFA Rana
Published: August 2024

Bankers may find it difficult to get deposits from households as a result of financial market turmoil. Negative returns on bank assets cause creditors to worry about financial stability, causing them to exaggerate the possibility of a bank failure in the future and withdraw money from banks in a panic. This article provides a simplified alternative for building beliefs about panic withdrawal. By lowering asset prices and raising the cost of bank borrowing, banks’ balance sheet positions deteriorated, which caused worries for the depositors, who became panicked. This article discusses potential bank panic scenarios in Bangladesh due to several internal causes that vary countercyclically. Although the major issue confronting the banks was not illiquidity but rather insolvency due to a high percentage of nonperforming loans, bank supervisory authorities may respond to this panic situation by offering liquidity support, government policy intervention, ensuring good governance, limiting the number of withdrawals, and so on.
ESG ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN BANKING INDUSTRY
Authors: IŞIK Özcan
Published: August 2024

This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding how ESG practices have impacted financial performance in the banking sector. To investigate this relationship, we use an annual dataset of an unbalanced panel of 58 commercial banks from 6 countries (i.e., Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, Spain, and Türkiye) for the period 2012-2020. Our empirical findings reveal that there exists an inverted U-shaped non-linear association between ESG scores and financial performance of Canadian, UK and Japanese banks, which supports the idea of the “too-much-of-a-good thing” impact. However, a positive linear association exists for Australian and Spanish banks. Moreover, changes in ESG activities have no influence on profitability of Turkish banks. The findings demonstrate that bank managers should consider the diversity of linkages between ESG activities and financial performance in the banking sector when identifying an appropriate stra

Published: August 2024

Freight Forwarder Liability Insurance, which is the subject of the study and is much needed, and currently not available as an insurance product in Türkiye. Article 19 of the Regulation on Freight Forwarders, published in 2018, requires liability insurance. This policy, which is currently needed, cannot be issued by Turkish insurance companies in accordance with the requirements. The aim of the study is to establish the general insurance conditions of the “Freight Forwarder Liability Insurance”, which is not available in Türkiye, in line with the needs of both insurance and transportation stakeholders. In line with this purpose, it is aimed to determine the common needs by taking the attitudes of insurance companies, logistics companies, insurance brokers, loss adjusters and insurance regulators. In previous similar studies, it has been seen that different country practices and national legal functioning are taken as the basis. The novelty of this study is that it is based on the joint requirements of insurance service providers and users of FFL Insurance. The structure of FFL Insurance is described. By making general terms & conditions available for insurance, insurance companies – resident in Türkiye - will be able to provide coverage for these policies and reinsurance in case needed.
ASYMMETRIC J CURVE RELATION BETWEEN TÜRKİYE AND HER EUROPEAN TRADE PARTNERS: A NARDL METHOD
Authors: KESKİN Yağmur , ŞENGÖNÜL Ahmet
Published: August 2024

This research delves into the asymmetrical impacts, both short and long term, of the real strengthening or weakening of Türkiye’s currency against that of the 28 European Union member countries, on its bilateral trade balance. The study aims to uncover potential asymmetries in the relationship between Türkiye’s currency depreciation and its trade balance with the EU 28 countries, while also considering the possibility of a J-curve effect. By utilizing the Non-Linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (NARDL) introduced by Shin et al. (2013), which accounts for asymmetric relationships, the analysis examines whether Türkiye’s trade balance with her EU 28 partners reacts differently to currency appreciation and depreciation. The findings from the non-linear ARDL analysis conducted in this study lend support to the hypothesis of an asymmetrical relationship, both in the short and long term, between the real appreciation of foreign exchange rates and Türkiye’s bilateral trade balance with the EU 28 countries, potentially indicating the presence of a J-curve effect.

1964. Museos, visiones de historia y proyectos de nación
Authors:   Universidad Iberoamericana (Ciudad de México, México), Baz Sánchez Sara Gabriela
Published: August 2024

In this article, I propose to reflect on the concepts of legacy and historical and archaeological heritage in the history of Mexican museology since the 19th century. The way in which this heritage of the past was conceived determined the emergence of laws that later resulted in the current law (1972) and also caused the generation of an institutional dynamic that is particular to the Mexican environment and that is powerfully anchored in the nineteenth-century conceptions of what should be the representation of the "essence" of the nation. Likewise, I review the cycle of foundation and refoundation of national museums in 1964, where an idea of a common past that is not far from the romanticization of the pre-Hispanic past made during the previous centuries and that, at the same time, did nothing more than consoli-date a hegemonic and centralist idea of an ethnic group that, of course, could not represent all Mexicans.
La simbiosis canario-venezolana: contacto e hibridismo cultural en el tiempo presente
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (La Laguna, España), Luis León Ángel Dámaso
Published: August 2024

The Canary Islands and Venezuela are two territories traditionally united. The different migratory processes that have occurred in recent centuries and the inherent cultural transfer link the two shores of the Atlantic Ocean. This process has been highlighted even more with the massive back-and-forth process that has occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries. As a result, a hybrid reality has been built in the Canary Islands that surpasses the mere contact between two cultures and has ensured that the culture of the archipelago cannot be understood without the Caribbean and, more specifically, Venezuelan contribution.
True and Moral by Repetition: Unveiling the Impact of Exposure on Positive Stereotypes Perception
Authors: Mattavelli Simone , Bianchi Claudia , Brambilla Marco , Motterlini Matteo
Published: August 2024

Despite their apparent benevolence, positive stereotypes have negative effects on person and group perception. However, little is known about how exposure can intensify these negative consequences. In two pre-registered experiments (total N = 240) we investigated the effect of exposure on believability and moral condemnation of positive stereotypes. In Experiment 1, participants rated the truth value of positive stereotypes, which were either previously encountered or not during an exposure phase. Repeated positive stereotypes were perceived as more true than unrepeated ones, indicating a truth effect. In Experiment 2, we replicated the truth effect and further found that exposure to stereotypes reduced their moral condemnation, indicating a moral-repetition effect. Extending the truth effect and moral-repetition effect research to positive stereotypes, our findings emphasize the need to raise awareness of the impact of exposure on reinforcing the believability and moral condemnation of stereotypical beliefs.
The Billboard Melodic Music Dataset (BiMMuDa)
Authors: Hamilton Madeline , Clemente Ana , Hall Edward , Pearce Marcus
Published: August 2024

We introduce the Billboard Melodic Music Dataset (BiMMuDa), which contains the lead vocal melodies of the top five songs of each year from 1950 to 2022 according to the Billboard year-end singles charts. In this article, the dataset’s compilation process and attributes are described in detail. The melody from each of the 371 songs was transcribed manually in full to create 371 MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) files, and then melodies from the songs’ different sections (e.g., verses, choruses) were exported into separate files to create an additional 1,133 MIDI files of shorter melodies. Lyrics to the songs are provided separately from the melodic transcriptions. This report includes comprehensive descriptions and graphical representations of the available metadata per song and per melody. Analysis of verse and chorus melodies revealed structural differences between them: chorus melodies have significantly fewer notes and lower note density, but larger melodic intervals on average. Whether added to existing datasets or used as a complete dataset, BiMMuDa can serve as ground truth data for a variety of MIR tasks as well as provide insight into the study of Western pop melody.

Fiscal drag: the heterogeneous impact of inflation on personal income tax revenue
Authors: Balladares Sofía , García-Miralles Esteban
Published: August 2024

In recent years, personal income tax collection has shown strong dynamism. Part of this increase is due to household income growth, while another part is due to the “fiscal drag” effect, which results in an increase in average effective rates when the parameters that determine the tax (brackets and tax benefits) are not fully updated with inflation. This paper uses a tax microsimulation tool based on tax filers’ administrative data to study the magnitude of the fiscal drag effect, its heterogeneity across the income distribution, its mechanisms and its impact on tax collection and on average effective tax rates in recent years and in the future. It is estimated that, in the absence of indexation of the nominally defined parameters of the tax, a homogeneous increase in household income of 1% would lead to an increase in income tax revenue of 1.85%, in line with the average elasticity estimated for OECD countries. This effect is greater for middle and upper-middle incomes and produces an increase in effective tax rates across the entire distribution of tax filers, leading to a reduction in net income inequality. It is estimated that around half of the increase in the personal income tax-to-GDP ratio observed between 2019 and 2023 can be explained by the fiscal drag effect. Going forward, in the absence of changes in tax parameters, the ratio of personal income tax revenue to GDP could reach 9% in 2025, 29% higher than its level in 2019.
