Abstract. Today organizations of the oil-producing complex are not limited to financial reporting forms that are mandatory for submission by national and international standards, but also compile reports on sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, environmental reporting, collectively referred to as integrated reporting. The increased attention of interested users and, mainly, investors, to environmental and social problems determine the importance and importance of the formation of integrated reporting by companies, disclosing information on both financial and non-financial indicators. In modern conditions, when the problem of climate change becomes more acute, the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the fight against corruption is underway, companies will apply the practice of disclosing ESG investment factors in reporting. Accordingly, in order to attract investors, Russian firms need to strive to meet the ESG criteria. Key and potential investors need objective, timely, complete and reliable information to make decisions about investing resources in an enterprise. The disclosure of these components in the reporting is the basis for meeting the information needs of a wide range of users and mainly plays an important role in making investment decisions. The information presented in the integrated reporting is primarily interesting and useful to investors — individuals and legal entities who make or plan to invest their capital in the company’s securities in order to obtain economic benefits and (or) exercise control, since the completeness and transparency of information disclosure in the integrated reporting reflects the investment attractiveness of the company and future benefits. The purpose of the study is to assess the degree of disclosure of information necessary for investors in the integrated reporting of large Russian organizations of the oil production complex. The research method is a quantitative and qualitative rating assessment of the specific weight of ESG factors in the integrated reporting of oil companies. As a result of the study, key ESG factors have been identified, which are currently insufficiently disclosed in non-financial statements of companies. The results of the study can be useful to companies when making decisions about the disclosure of ESG factors in integrated reporting.

Abstract. The relevance of the work is due to the predictive properties of the Hurst indicator (index), which make it possible to identify the presence/absence of a trend in the observed stochastic process, which it is advisable to use when regulating and controlling traffic to reduce congestion, traffic accidents based on processing information about traffic flows coming from stationary video recording complexes of traffic violations. The object of investigation is a section of road with intensive one-way traffic, equipped with a software and hardware complex that allows measuring the characteristics of the flow of motor transport. The subject of the study is the daily intensity of the cars flow during the week, from Monday to Sunday. The purpose of this study is to identify the patterns of evolution of the indicators included in the Hurst index, based on the processing of time series of the intensity of motor transport traffic on the road network. As a theoretical and methodological approach, the rescaled range analysis, or the definition of Hurst exponent, is used. The approach developed by the authors allowed us to establish the regularities of the evolution of mean values, standard deviations, accumulated and rescaled range, Hearst exponents, which is the scientific novelty of the performed analysis. Data processing of video surveillance software and hardware complexes made it possible to construct time-dependent indicators of the intensity of car traffic on a road with a consistently high flow of vehicles connecting the central and remote areas of the city of Perm, at various intervals of averaging by days of the week. As a result of the study of time series, dependences on the time of average values, standard deviations, accumulated and rescaled ranges, Hearst exponents were obtained. It is shown that the found characteristics of the traffic flow intensity on a road with a high traffic intensity differ significantly from similar characteristics obtained earlier for roads with a relatively low intensity. The practical significance lies in the use of predictive properties of the Hurst indicator in analyzing the intensity of the flow of vehicles for predicting the movement of vehicles, controlling the operation of traffic lights, monitoring the operation of equipment, etc. The direction of further research is to obtain, process and determine rescaled ranges and Hurst exponents for time series of traffic flow intensity on other sections of the road network.

Abstract. A significant part of the loss of live cargo (poultry) occurs in the process of its transportation by road to the processing plant. Currently, there are no studies of the factors that determine these losses, a mathematical model for optimizing the density of live cargo placement in a transport container, a method for managing delays at various stages of transportation, taking into account the structure of a modern poultry complex and the level of automation of its communication systems. In this regard, it can be argued that the purpose of this study, which is to increase the efficiency of transportation of live cargo by road by controlling the duration of transportation operations and optimizing the density of placement of live cargo in a transport container, is aimed at solving an urgent scientific and practical problem. Theoretical studies are carried out on the basis of the analysis of scientific and regulatory and technical literature, the legal framework, systemic, statistical, factorial and technical and economic analysis, mathematical modeling of the transport process. Experimental studies were carried out in the conditions of an operating enterprise using the methods of mathematical statistics, computer modeling, field observations. The main results that have scientific novelty are: the dependence of the losses of the transported cargo on delays in loading, moving and unloading the poultry carrier, taking into account the effective ambient temperature and the specific properties of the cargo; mathematical model for optimizing the density of placement of live cargo in a transport container; a method for managing delays at various stages of the transportation of live cargo by road. Further research is supposed to be carried out in the direction of the development of intellectual support for the management of transportation, both of live poultry within the boundaries of the enterprise, and of finished products.

The presence of multimorbidity is considered a public health problem, responsible for a great pressure on health services. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of multimorbidity and its association to the use of health services by Brazilian elderly people. Method: A cross-sectional, quantitative study with population-based survey data (PNS-2013). The sample consisted of 11,177 Brazilians aged 60 years or older. Multimorbidity was considered as a dependent variable and the use of health services as independent. The results were analyzed by the chi-square test. The sample consisted mostly of individuals aged among 60 and 69 years (55.8%), men (59.2%), white (47.5%), married (43.0%), who studied up to primary education (37.6%) and with an income of less than 1 minimum wage (45.5%). The prevalence of multimorbidity was 46.9%. Elderly people with multimorbidity used health services significantly more, having attended 4 or more medical appointments (p<0.001), required hospitalization (p<0.001) and needed emergency care at home (p<0.001). Brazilian elderly people have a high prevalence of multimorbidity and this condition significantly affects the demand for health services, whether primary and secondary, such as medical consultations and emergency and tertiary care, such as hospitalization.

Published: May 2022

Consumers demand new and improved flavor sensations, which cannot always be fulfilled by traditional flavors from known fruits. Inspiration for new developments in flavors may be generated from plant material originating from the tropical rainforests. The tropics house 80 to 90% of
all plant species and the aromatic aspects of most of these are entirely unknown. Field methods for the collection of samples, the isolation and conservation of the aroma compounds in very remote areas are presented. The overall flavor profile and the key aroma compounds of selected fruits
and 'garlic' barks collected from the Gabonese tropical rainforest 'foret des Abeilles' are described.
Suppression of Bitterness Using Sodium Salts
Authors: Keast Russell S.J. , Breslin Paul A.S. , Beauchamp Gary K.
Published: May 2022

Bitterness is an ongoing taste problem for both the pharmaceutical and food industries. This paper reports on how salts (NaCl, NaAcetate, NaGluconate, LiCl, KCl) and bitter compounds (urea, quinine-HCö, caffeine, amiloride-HCö, magnesium sulfate, KCl) interact to influence bitter perception. Sodium salts differentially suppress bitterness of these compounds; for example urea bitterness was suppressed by over 70% by sodium salts, while MgSO4 bitterness was not reduced. This study indicated that lithium ions had the same bitter suppressing ability as sodium ions, however the potassium cation had no bitter suppression ability. Changing the anion attached to the sodium did not affect bitter suppression, however, as the anion increased in size, perceived saltiness decreased. This indicates that sodium's mode of action is at the peripheral taste level, rather than a cognitive affect.A second experiment revealed that suppressing bitterness with a sodium salt in a bitter/sweet mixture causes an increase in sweetness. This suggests adding salt to a food matrix will not only increase salt perception, but also potentiate flavor by differential suppression of undesirable tastes such as bitter, while increasing more desirable tastes such as sweet.

Analytic First-Order Derivatives of (X)MS, XDW, and RMS Variants of the CASPT2 and RASPT2 Methods
Authors: Nishimoto Yoshio , Battaglia Stefano , Lindh Roland
Published: May 2022

Crossings between states involve complex electronic structures, making the accurate characterization of the crossing point difficult. In this study, the analytic derivatives of three complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) variants as well as an extension of the restricted active space (RASPT2) are developed. These variants are applied to locating minimum energy conical intersections. Our results demonstrate that the three CASPT2 variants predict qualitatively similar results, but a recently developed variant, the rotated multistate CASPT2 (RMS-CASPT2), is least sensitive to the number of states considered in the calculation. We demonstrate that CASPT2 and the reference self-consistent field calculations predict qualitatively different energetics and bond lengths.

Published: May 2022

The current worldwide prevalence of heart failure is growing, while its combination with cardiovascular and other conditions determines a poor prognosis in these patients. Furthermore, acute decompensated heart failure is associated with a low survival rate mostly caused by target organ damage. The effects of early administration of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure are being studied to determine the possibility of improving response to treatment, as well as partial or complete recovery of renal function. The goal of the review was to synthesize currently available evidence for the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. A systematic search for studies published from 2018 to 2021 and their analysis was carried out in the following databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE.

Authors: Tereshchenko Sergey N. , Cheremisina Irina A. , Safiullina Alfiya A.
Published: May 2022

Aim. To study the efficacy and safety of exogenous phosphocreatine (EF) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Materials and methods. The all-Russian prospective observational study BYHEART included 842 patients who were treated with EF. Before and after the course of EF therapy, the following studies were conducted: a questionnaire on the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and a clinical condition assessment scale (SHOCK), transthoracic echocardiography with an assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction, a 6-minute walk test, determination of the level of pro-natriuretic N-terminal peptide (NT-proBNP), glomerular filtration rate. All patients before the course of EF received long-term optimal drug therapy of CHF.
Results. Statistical analysis was carried out in the general group of patients (n=842), as well as in groups of patients A (n=418, the course of treatment of EF is less than 20 g /course) and group B (n=424, the course of treatment of EF is greater than or equal to 20 g/course). The results obtained demonstrate a positive effect of the use of the course of therapy of EF in patients with CHF on the quality of life (QOL), reverse left ventricular remodeling, functional class of CHF, as well as the concentration of NT-pro-BNP, especially in the group of patients who received more than 20 grams of the medication.
Conclusion. The use of EF is a promising pharmacological method of treatment in addition to optimal drug therapy in patients with CHF.

Published: May 2022

Currently the incidence of congestive heart failure after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) tends to increase. Reperfusion therapy is still the only effective method to reduce an infarct size. Therefore, there is a high unmet need of novel cardioprotective treatments that would improve outcomes in such patients. Recent advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods enabled the identification of certain new infarct characteristics associated with the development of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. These characteristics can help identify new groups of high risk patients and used as a targets for novel cardioprotective treatments. This part of the review summarizes novel CMR-based characteristics of myocardial infarction and their role in the prognostic stratification of STEMI patients.

A STUDY OF THE C-E TRANSLATION STRATEGIES OF REVOLUTIONARY TOURIST TEXTS IN THE MUSEUM OF THE WAR OF CHINESE PEOPLE’S RESISTANCE AGAINST JAPANESE AGGRESSION
Authors: Liang Jiaqi
Published: May 2022

Revolutionary tourist texts belong to tourist texts. Extensive research has been conducted at home and abroad on the translation of tourist texts. However, due to the differences in domestic and foreign tourists’ cultural backgrounds and the unique characteristics of revolutionary tourist texts, there is less research on the Chinese-English translation of revolutionary tourist texts. Taking the Chinese and English texts in the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance Against Japanese Aggression as examples, this paper explores the C-E translation strategies of revolutionary tourist texts based on text typology, aiming to provide a reference for translating such texts and promote the development of revolutionary tourism.

Published: May 2022

Purpose: Xerostomia is a symptom of reduced oral functioning and can cause dysphagia and worsen dental disease. This study sought to investigate the actual status of xerostomia in head and neck tumor patients and the beneficial effects of maxillofacial prosthesis use on xerostomia.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey on xerostomia and measured resting salivary flow rate and oral mucosa moisture levels in 26 patients who had been treated for head and neck tumor.
Results: After treatment, 16 of the 26 patients (62%) reported experiencing dry mouth. Moreover, 12 patients (46%) reported a tendency for dry mouth compared with before tumor treatment, indicating they perceived worsening of xerostomia after treatment. Mean resting salivary flow rate measured by the cotton roll method was 0.183 ± 0.178 g over 30 seconds. Resting salivary flow rate was significantly lower in patients who reported always having dry mouth than in those who did not report experiencing dry mouth. Patients who had been treated for mandibular/lingual tumors had a significantly lower resting salivary flow rate than those who had been treated for maxillary tumors. Mean moisture content in the oral mucosa measured with an oral moisture checker was 27.6 ± 1.6. Those who reported always having dry mouth had significantly lower oral mucosa moisture content than those who reported having dry mouth sometimes/a little. Five patients reported that wearing a maxillofacial prosthesis alleviated dry mouth.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the maxillofacial prosthesis use can improve xerostomia after head and neck tumor treatment. (Int J Maxillofac Prosthetics 2021;4:9-17)

Published: May 2022

Purpose: This study investigated the use of digital technology in maxillofacial prosthetics among practitioners involved in maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation in Japan.
Materials and Methods: A self-administered survey questionnaire with 24 closed-ended and multiple choice questions was used. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed at the 32nd meeting of the Japanese Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics that was held in Tokyo, Japan in June 2015. The survey questionnaire was distributed in a pack that included an introduction letter explaining the research aims, objectives, and informed consent. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive statistical methods and reported as frequency and range.
Results: In total, 105 respondents (77 men (73.4%), 28 women (26.6%); median age, 40 years; age range 21-66 years) completed the questionnaire (response rate, 35%). The majority of respondents were dentists (75.2%), followed by dental technicians (21.9%). The median duration of work experience for the respondents in their specialty was 14 years, and 97% of respondents had interested and adopted digital technologies in maxillofacial prosthetics. Digital technologies were used significantly in patient and practice management, diagnostic, and patient’s defect visualization (p < 0.001) but insignificant in treatment planning (p = 0.917). In contrast, there were significant increases in non-use of digital technologies in prosthesis design, prosthesis manufacturing, and patient and prosthesis evaluation (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Japanese dental practitioners are interested and willing to use digital technology in maxillofacial prosthetics. Most respondents use some or a substantial number of digital technologies in clinical practice. (Int J Maxillofac Prosthetics 2021;4:25-36)
To Promote or Not to Promote? The Role of the Judiciary in the New Zealand Commercial Mediation Market
Authors: Morris Grant
Published: May 2022

Judicial promotion of mediation has been identified as an important way to encourage and increase the amount of commercial mediation in New Zealand. This latest contribution to the New Zealand Commercial Mediation Study (NZCMS) explores the views of District and High Court judges in relation to the use of mediation in their courts. Comparisons are made with earlier NZCMS studies, including the controversial issue of mandatory mediation. While the judiciary is well placed to increase the amount of commercial mediation in New Zealand, this paper concludes that it is unlikely that this potential will be realised under the current civil procedure settings. District and High Court judges possess a good understanding of mediation and its benefits but also prioritise party autonomy in choosing whether to undertake mediation or not.

Analyzing The Encountered Problems and Possible Solutions of Converting Relational Databases to Graph Databases
Authors: Altın Ramazan , Kınacı A. Cumhur
Published: May 2022

Relational database management systems have been used for storing data for a long time.
However, these systems are insufficient to analyze the large and complex structure of the data. Graph
databases are becoming more common day by day due to their capacity to contribute to the analysis.
Also, graph databases are better at modeling and querying complex relationships than relational
databases. To use graph databases with old data stored in relational databases a transfer process is
needed. In this study, the problems to be encountered in transferring the data stored in a relational
database to a graph database were examined and methods that could be used as solutions to them
were proposed. In addition, it is aimed to prevent data loss and data inconsistency that may occur with
design errors in relational databases. For this purpose, the normalization process needs to be applied
to a relational database before transferring data to a graph database. In our study, we developed a
method that converts data to the first normal form during the transfer. But for better data consistency in
practice third normal form is the minimum requirement. By using the functional dependencies found,
it is possible to make relational databases suitable for higher normal forms. For functional dependency
detection, which is normally a very time-consuming and costly process, we developed a method based
on a graph database.

Bu çalışmada, Ti-15V-3Al-3Sn-3Cr metastabil β titanyum alaşımının mikro yapısal ve aşınma özelliklerine yaşlandırma sıcaklığına ısıtma hızının etkisi incelenmiştir. Alaşım yaşlandırma sıcaklığına 0,4°C/dk, 4°C/dk, 25°C/dk ve 50°C/dk olmak üzere dört farklı hızda ısıtılmıştır. Isıl işlemler sonrasında alaşımın mikro yapısal özellikleri Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu (SEM) analiziyle incelenmiştir. Alaşımın mekanik özellikleri ise mikro sertlik ve aşınma testleri uygulanarak belirlenmiştir. En küçük boyda α fazları (393±43nm) 0,4°C/dk hızla yaşlandırma sıcaklığına ısıtılmış numunede elde edilmiştir. Isıtma hızının artmasıyla birlikte ise α fazları büyümüş ve böylece en yüksek mikro sertlik 0,4°C/dk hızla ısıtılan numunede, en düşük mikro sertlik ise 50°C/dk hızla ısıtılan numunede elde edilmiştir. Aşınma testleri 3N ve 10N olmak üzere iki farklı yükte ve 150 metre ve 400 metre olmak üzere iki farklı kayma mesafesinde uygulanmıştır. Aşınma testi sonrası kütle kaybı yük ve kayma mesafesinin artmasıyla birlikte tüm numune gruplarında artmıştır. Aşınma testleri sonrasında elde edilen verilere, istatistiki veri analizi uygulanarak sürtünme katsayıları tayin edilmiştir. Ayrıca aşınma testinde elde edilen sürtünme katsayısı verileri, %40 test ve %60 eğitim olmak üzere iki sete bölünmüştür. Model performansı, ortalama hata karesi, ortalama karekök sapması ve regresyon değeri dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Model, farklı ısıtma hızlarında yaşlandırma sıcaklığına ısıtılmış numunelerin sürtünme katsayılarını %76’nın üzerinde doğrulukla tahmin edebilmiştir.

In last decades, immunotherapies became more and more significant as a cancer treatment method. Many in vivo and in vitro studies have been conducted in the literature in order to determine the appropriate diagnostic and treatment methods for cancer. During the development of therapeutic vaccines, determination of vaccine concentration which is the beginning step of in vivo studies, is critical for the healthy progression of the studies. Breast cancer which occurs by uncontrolled proliferation as a result of exposure of healthy cells in breast tissue to factors such as DNA damage, UV, radiation, carcinogens and, various chemicals has a huge portion among the cancer types. In this study, for the first time, antigens generated by two different antigen preparation methods (autoclaving, freezing-thawing) using AU-565 / MCF-7 cell lines. Then, antigens derived from human breast cancer cell lines were applied alone and with different adjuvants (Polyoxidonium, Freund’s) to the J774 macrophage cell culture system and the L929 fibroblast cell line in order to investigate immunostimulant activity and cytotoxicity via Griess reagent and MTT test respectively. At the end of the 48th hour, the cell viability well will be examined and the most appropriate antigen-adjuvant combination and its concentration for vaccine preparation were determined. Among the antigen preparation methods, it was determined that the freeze-thaw method was more effective than the autoclave method, and the antigens prepared by the freeze-thaw method from the AU-565 and MCF-7 cell lines showed the highest immunostimulatory activity at a concentration of 160 µg/ml. Among the adjuvants, the immunostimulant effect of Freund's adjuvant was found to be higher. In the light of these results, the optimal vaccine concentration against breast cancer and the viability analysis of these concentrations were determined. All in all, it is thought that antibodies obtained from in vivo studies using the most appropriate antigen preparation method and the most appropriate vaccine concentration can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
High Harmonic Generation Produced in Molecular Nitrogen using Ultrashort Optical Pulses
Authors: SAYRAÇ Muhammed
Published: May 2022

Generation of coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses is a nonlinear process of high harmonic generation (HHG). HHG produced in molecular nitrogen (N2) medium has been obtained using ultrashort intense laser pulses. The strong laser field was focused onto a gas cell to produce short wavelengths having photon energy up to 54 eV. The highest photon energy is experimentally observed as the 35th order. The absorption of harmonics restricts the harmonic yield efficiency. The harmonic yield is affected by the interaction length and medium pressure. The harmonic yield changes with the medium parameters. The simulation for the absorption length was performed using the Mathematica program. Variation of the harmonic signal has been attributed to the absorption of harmonics, and it is compared with the absorption length.

Drought is one of the significant impacts of climate change affecting agricultural productivity and subsistence for Afghanistan’s farmers. Producers have applied various adaptation measures making use of their native resources in response to drought. Studying the cases of the Panjab and Waras districts in the south of Bamyan province of Afghanistan, this research aims to analyse Afghan farmers’ drought adaptation strategies. Farmers’ adaptation strategies to drought and the effectiveness of such actions to decrease the effects of this natural hazard were studied. The adaptive strategies were categorised into five groups, including: (i) cropping practices, (ii) soil and water conservation, (iii) animal husbandry management, (iv) wage labour use and (v) financial management. Major adaptive strategies for cropping practices include growing early maturing crops, drought-tolerant crops, inter-cultivation systems, changing cropping patterns, seed treatments, growing non-traditional crops and crop rotation. Soil and water conservation adaptive actions include bund construction, watering at night, levelling land, decreasing irrigated areas, reducing water wastage and small-scale watershed management. Drought responses for livestock included supplementary feed, increased rearing of small animals, fodder cultivation and storage. Non-farm adaptive strategies to augment income include production of handicrafts, additional unpaid family labour, borrowing money, reducing expenditures for non-food and costly food items, migration, selling assets and discontinuing agricultural activities due to drought. Data for this study was collected using a field survey with questionnaires and face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 140 farmers from Panjab and Waras districts in the study area. One of the main issues was the necessity and importance of expanding the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) support programmes for the adaptation strategies.
