Turtles are found in large numbers in Iraqi rivers, due to the availability of a suitable environment for reproduction and food. The breeding season begins from May to the end of October. The current study aimed to evaluate the anatomical and histological characteristics of the green freshwater turtle (Chelonia mydas) during the breeding season in Iraq. The samples included eight adult turtles within the age range of 11-14 years that were collected from Shatt Al-Hilla (Iraq) at month June. To investigate the reproductive system histological techniques and hematoxylin and eosin staining were used and before that the animals were anesthetized with chloroform. The results indicated two active ovaries and oviducts which fill the whole abdominal cavity. The mean weights of left and right ovaries and left and right oviducts in the turtles with average weights of 698 ± 0.05 g were 19.5 ± 0.01 g, 22 ± 0.022 g, 3.3 ± 0.05 g, and 4 ± 0.05 g respectively. The mean lengths of carapace, left ovary, right ovary, left oviduct, and right oviduct were 24 ± 0.08 cm, 15.9 ± 0.01 cm, 17± 0.04 cm, 13 ± 0.022 cm, 14 ± 0.056 cm. Anatomically the oviducts include the infundibulum, magnum, isthmus, uterus, and vagina. The infundibulum indicated a funnel-shaped membrane while the magnum was the muscular coiled long tube. The isthmus was shorter and less coiled than the magnum, the uterus appeared as the widest, thickest, and less coiled dark tube and swollen into the posterior to form a cyst-like part, and the vagina was muscular in structure. Histologically, the magnum and uterus were formed from mucosa, muscularis, and serosa. In both parts of the magnum and uterus, were branched crypt-like depressions that appeared devoid of sperm. The widespread distribution of this species in Iraqi rivers could be due to the activity of the ovaries and oviducts during the breeding season, which extends for 6 months.

Published: April 2024

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) was an exceedingly infectious disease that spread to Indonesia in May 2022. A reliable diagnostic serologic test that can distinguish between infected and vaccinated animals was an important part of FMD (serotype O) control programs in affected areas in Indonesia. For this reason, a non-structural protein (NSP) serological test based on 3ABC proteins has been used. The indirect ELISA serological test requires time, skill, and specialized equipment. An alternative method that can be employed is the lateral flow assay (LFA), which offers the advantages of simplicity and portability, enabling rapid acquisition of results. The objective of this study was to validate the efficacy of a user-friendly anti-NSP antibody LFA for rapid diagnostic purposes. This was done by assessing its sensitivity and specificity in stored samples that had previously been tested using indirect ELISA. There were 32 preserved biological materials from dairy and beef cattle in three provinces in Indonesia that were examined with developed LFA. The results of each sample on LFA were compared to the ELISA result for its sensitivity and specificity according to positive and negative values on both tests. The test had a sensitivity of 95.2% and a specificity of 100%, compared to the indirect ELISA. The measured kappa value is also very good at 0.93, so LFA can be optionally used when examining anti-NSP FMD antibodies. Therefore, the LFA anti-NSP for detecting FMD is considered reliable because of its simplicity and the accuracy of the test results.

Published: April 2024

The surveys were conducted in natural populations of Haldina cordifolia in the forest areas of three states of central India namely Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. Based on the growth parameters of the individual tree, a total of thirty trees from nine forest divisions of these three states were selected as candidate plus trees (CPTs). Variation was observed in girth at breast height (GBH), total height, and clear bole height (CBH) of trees surveyed. The maximum GBH was recorded in the CPTs of Balrampur (243.75 cm) while the minimum was recorded in Balaghat (115 cm). The maximum height of CPTs was recorded in Dindori (30.25 m) while the minimum was recorded in Allapalli (19 m). The maximum CBH% of total height was recorded in Bilaspur (44.22) while the minimum was recorded in Katghora (37.31). Higher GBH and height of trees may be resulted due to more age of trees. CPTs of Bilaspur were of middle age and showed the highest CBH% (44.22) and relatively low GBH and height when compared with those of Dindori and Balrampur. With age, the trees of Bilaspur will gain more height and girth which will result in higher yield.

Infallibility is an important factor both in fabrication repertoire replica and in the great demand of products. During a fabrication process, more exemplary products with high reliableness aim for increase in product demand although credit rating too is a prominent business strategy. Integrating the above duo concepts, we explain and explore mathematically a fabricating repertoire replica with partisan layaway stratagem and infallibility effect on the fabrication system wherein the demand of the customers is reliant on the product cost and rate of decay is regarded as constant. In this propounded model, commerce layaway stratagem on the fabricator and the customer is acquainted by considering all the achievable sitch due to permitted credit (layaway) duration. As a consequence, considering all the achievable instances for the fabricator and the customer’s layaway duration, seven non-linear optimization issues for the proposed replica are required.
Translation of Poetry: A Study of Translatability of Pragmatic and Cultural Elements
Authors: Al-Kadery Suad Abdulaziz Khalil
Published: April 2024

Poetry is a genre that states more in a few words because much of it is cultural content that is assumed to be comprehended by the reader(s). This very characteristic of poetry of being rooted in cultural ethos makes its translation complex and even "untranslatable." Imr-ul-Qais’s Muallaqa is an Arabic classic which has been a symbol of the shared Arab identity, values, and magnanimity. In addition to its unsurpassed poetic brilliance, it is an epitome of the culture of the pre-Islamic Arab world. There are many translations of this masterpiece into English, though each is unique in terms of interpretations, liberties, and constraints. This study examines three prominent translations of Imr-ul-Qais's Muallaqa by Arberry, Johnson, and Mumayiz with reference to Venuti's (1995) dichotomy of domestication and foreignization. The aim is to identify translators’ strategies in tackling the translational challenges, as well as the implications thereof, in order to bridge the linguistic and cultural divide as well as if and what is the nature of the loss of meaning in the process. Results showed that Arberry aims for a poetic rendition in blank verse, focusing on semantic and syntactic fidelity rather than rhyme and meter. Johnson employed transposition and modulation, resulting in a more prosaic translation that lacks the Arabic ethos. Both translators leaned towards domestication, prioritizing English comprehension over retaining the original sentiment. Mumayiz, a native speaker of Arabic, provides a more rhythmic translation, with greater effort to provide English readers with insights into the original text, hence leant more on foreignization than domesticaion.

Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the pragmatic aspect of modality representation in the English mass-media discourse. The categorial status of modality, typology of modal meanings and their interaction have been examined from the viewpoint of historical perspective. The research is aimed at revealing the pragmatic characteristics of subjective-interpersonal (author-recipient) modality, which reflects the author's intentions to describe the world (epistemic modality), change the world (deontic modality), evaluate the world (axiological modality). The four factors of internet communication - the addresser, the addressee, the text, the objective reality - are studied within the framework of communicative-pragmatic approach to modality. The discourse-analysis and pragma-stylistic analysis have been applied to depict language means representing modality in the English mass-media Internet discourse, in the article on political issues. It has been revealed that the author of the article may act differently in accordance with the roles he assumes - of an informer, of an expert-analyst, of a consultant-adviser; his task is to attract the readers and involve them in discussion in the comments section. The expression of authorship is principal here and the author's modality is always explicit. The comments following the text of an article are distinguished by a variety of the authors' communicative strategies and modal meanings.

Why Consider Local Genres in Translation?
Authors: Frost Katie Hoogerheide
Published: April 2024

A growing number of scholars and practitioners in Bible translation recognize the importance of considering local genres, although leading textbooks devote relatively little attention to this topic. In the meantime, many practitioners are unsure how to explore local genres effectively, while others doubt the value of doing so. This paper outlines a process for identifying and working with genres. Evidence both from the translation world and from other fields of study shows that genre awareness enhances translation quality, reception, and the translation process itself. The final section of the paper addresses potential challenges related to genre-level translations, providing suggestions for navigating the use of genres in different contexts.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the fairy-tale plot about a wonderful child in the form of a theriomorphic or phytomorphic creature in the folklore of the Viet, Hmong, Cham, Sedang, Stieng, Thai ethnic groups inhabiting the territory of modern Vietnam, as well as in folklore of other peoples of the Far East. Through the study, the methods of structural, typological and comparative analysis of plots, motives and heroes of folklore narratives are used. Hopefully, this approach will help to make assumptions about the ways of borrowing and transforming significant elements of fairy tales in the region. The article examines three Vietnamese fairy-tale texts – “Man Round as a Coconut”, “Magic Turtle” and “Little Turtle”, each of which is compared with both geographically close and distant versions of the narratives.
Maneuvers in Vietnamese-Chinese relations against the back-ground of the US-Chinese confrontation in the region
Authors: Butko Alexandr A.
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the assessment of dynamics and nature of relations between Vietnam and China against the background of events taking place in the region and the world. The main attention in this work is paid to a new stage of bilateral cooperation, which began with the creation of a «Community with a shared future that carries strategic significance», to the reasons for the stated deepening of interaction between Vietnam and China in the context of the US-Chinese confrontation.
Despite the publication of many works devoted to various aspects of relations between these two countries, the large dynamics of events taking place in Southeast Asia requires additional research aimed at rethinking old and revealing new trends.
The article is based on an analysis of the recent China-Vietnam joint statement (December 2023) and its comparison with other similar documents – the China-Vietnam statement of 2022, the US-Vietnam and Japan-Vietnam statements of 2023. This method allows us to more accurately assess the current state of Vietnamese-Chinese relations and predict their further development.
PERSPECTIVE: Targeted development and optimization of small-molecule ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRIs) for the cryopreservation of biological systems
Authors: McMunn Leah E. , Walsh Ellyssa M. , Ben Robert N.
Published: April 2024

Despite the routine use of cryopreservation for the storage of biological materials, its outcomes are often sub-optimal (including reduced post-thaw viability, recovery, and functionality) due to the damage caused by uncontrolled ice growth. Traditional cryoprotective agents (CPAs),
including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), fail to prevent damage caused by ice growth and concerns over CPA cytotoxicity have fostered an increased interest in developing improved CPAs and cryoprotection strategies. The inhibition of ice recrystallization by natural antifreeze (glyco)proteins [AF(G)Ps]
to improve cryopreservation outcomes has been examined; however, the ice binding properties of these substances and their challenging large-scale production make them poor CPA candidates. Therefore, the development and deployment of biocompatible, small-molecule ice recrystallization inhibitors
(IRIs) for use as CPAs is a worthwhile objective. Extensive structure-activity relationship studies on AF(G)Ps revealed that simple carbohydrate derivatives could inhibit ice recrystallization. It was later discovered that this activity could be fine-tuned by delicately balancing the molecule’s
hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. Current generation small-molecule IRIs have been meticulously designed to avoid binding to the surface of ice and subsequent biological testing (for both cytotoxicity and cryopreservation efficacy) has demonstrated significant improvements to the cryopreservation
outcomes of several cell types. However, an individualized cell-specific approach for the simultaneous assessment of multiple cryopreservation outcomes is necessary to realize the full potential of IRIs as CPAs. This article provides a detailed overview of the development of small-molecule
carbohydrate-based IRIs and highlights the crucial cell-specific biological considerations that must be taken into account when assessing cryopreservation outcomes.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Nanotechnology can benefit livestock industries, especially through postharvest semen manipulation. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (Np-ZnO) are potentially an example. OBJECTIVE: To investigate how the addition of zinc oxide nanoparticles (Np-ZnO) affected the characteristics
of postthawed goat semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seminal pools from four Saanen bucks were used. Semen was diluted in Tris-egg yolk extender, supplemented with Np-ZnO (0, 50, 100 or 200 μg/mL), frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen (−196°C), and thawed in a water bath
(37°C/30s). Semen samples were evaluated for sperm kinetics by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA), and assessed for other functional properties by epifluorescence microscopy, such as plasma membrane integrity (PMi), acrosomal membrane integrity (ACi) and mitochondrial membrane potential
(MMP). RESULTS: For total motility (TM), the group treated with 200 μg/mL Np-ZnO was superior to the control. In straight-line velocity (VSL), the control was better than the group containing 200 μg/mL of Np-ZnO. For average path velocity (VAP), the control was higher
than with 100 μg/mL Np-ZnO. For linearity (LIN), the control was higher than with 200 μg/mL Np-ZnO. In straightness (STR), the control and 100 μg/mL Np-ZnO were higher than with 200 μg/mL Np-ZnO. In wobble (WOB), the control was better than the 50 μg/mL Np-ZnO
treatment. In PMi, ACi and MMP no significant differences were found. CONCLUSION: The addition of Np-ZnO (200 μg/mL) to the goat semen freezing extender improved the total motility of cells, whilst negatively affecting sperm kinetics.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MIXED AND PROPORTIONAL TAXATION SYSTEMS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Воловиков В.В.
Published: April 2024

Целью настоящей статьи является анализ системы налогообложения в Российской Федерации и определение путей ее совершенствования. На основании анализа систем налогообложения предпринимательской деятельности получен вывод, что упрощенная система налогообложения играет существенную роль в стимулировании развития малого бизнеса, но у данного механизма есть ограничения: при превышении определенных пороговых условий организации автоматически переходят на общую систему налогообложения. Однако, многие представители малого предпринимательства, превысившие пороговые условия, все еще остаются субъектами малого бизнеса предприятиями, в результате чего существенное увеличение налоговой нагрузки может замедлить их развитие. В целях совершенствования системы налогообложения целесообразно внедрение переходного периода и пересмотр пороговых критериев. Анализ показал, что пропорциональная система исчисления налога на доходы физических лиц, несмотря на простоту администрирования, приводит к увеличению социального неравенства и перекладыванию налогового бремени на наименее обеспеченные слои населения. В контексте совершенствования системы налогообложения предложен переход к прогрессивной шкале и введение необлагаемого налогом минимума. Предотвращение массового уклонения от уплаты налогов по повышенным ставкам, возможно посредством внедрения систем налогового мониторинга доходов и расходов физических лиц.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the taxation system in the Russian Federation and identify ways to improve it. Based on the analysis of business taxation systems, it was concluded that the simplified taxation system plays a significant role in stimulating the development of small businesses, but this mechanism has limitations: when certain threshold conditions are exceeded, organizations automatically switch to the general taxation system. However, many representatives of small businesses who have exceeded the threshold conditions are still small business entities, as a result of which a significant increase in the tax burden may slow down their development. In order to improve the taxation system, it is advisable to introduce a transition period and revise the threshold criteria. The analysis showed that the proportional system of calculating personal income tax, despite the simplicity of administration, leads to an increase in social inequality and shifting the tax burden to the least well-off segments of the population. In the context of improving the taxation system, a transition to a progressive scale and the introduction of a tax-free minimum is proposed. Prevention of mass tax evasion at increased rates is possible through the introduction of tax monitoring systems for income and expenses of individuals.

CROSS BORDER MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS ALONG WITH REGULATIONS OF OVERSEAS INVESTMENT AND SEBI
Authors: Sharma LLM Gaurang
Published: April 2024

Cross-border mergers and overseas investments by “Alternative Investment Funds” (AIFs) and “Venture Capital Funds” (VCFs) are two significant mechanisms facilitating capital movement across borders in the globalized economy. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the regulatory frameworks and operational dynamics of both mechanisms, comparing and contrasting their objectives, entities involved, regulatory requirements, and risk-reward profiles. Cross-border mergers involve the consolidation of companies from different jurisdictions, aiming to achieve synergies, expand market presence, or leverage complementary strengths. The regulatory landscape governing cross-border mergers includes provisions under the Companies Act, of 2013, “The Foreign Exchange Management Act” (FEMA), and Competition Act, of 2002, among others. These mergers entail adherence to complex legal and regulatory frameworks, including approvals from regulatory authorities, compliance with foreign exchange laws, and fulfilment of competition norms. Despite the potential benefits, cross-border mergers also pose integration challenges, cultural differences, and regulatory uncertainties. In contrast, overseas investments by AIFs/VCFs enable domestic investors to diversify their portfolios by accessing opportunities in offshore companies, typically startups or emerging enterprises. The regulatory framework for these investments is overseen by the “Securities and Exchange Board of India” (SEBI) and includes guidelines, circulars, and compliance requirements. While regulatory compliance is necessary, the process may be relatively streamlined compared to cross-border mergers. Furthermore, the paper discusses the distinct objectives, entities involved, and risk-reward profiles of cross-border mergers and overseas investments by AIFs/VCFs. Cross-border mergers primarily involve established companies seeking strategic alliances or expansion opportunities, while AIFs/VCFs focus on deploying capital into high-growth opportunities, often at early stages of development. Overall, understanding the nuances of both mechanisms is crucial for businesses, investors, and policymakers to navigate the complexities of the globalized economy and make informed decisions regarding cross-border transactions.
ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF MUNICIPAL LAND CONTROL IN THE TERRITORY OF THE KOMI REPUBLIC
Authors: Pilnik Yuliya , Saprin Sergey , Rekova Elena
Published: April 2024

The article presents an overview of the land control conducted on the territory of the Ukhta municipal district, which is part of the Komi Republic. Municipal land control is a framework that ensures the use of land and land plots, as interpreted by Russian legislation. The bodies whose powers include control over the use of land and land plots within the boundaries of a municipality are the regulatory instrument for the activities of individuals, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. In accordance with the current legislation, risk management during municipal land control and the assessment system on the territory of the Ukhta municipal district is not applied. When implementing municipal land control, records are kept of land control objects owned by the Ukhta municipal District, state ownership of which is not delimited. According to the Regulation, the types of preventive measures are established on the territory of the Ukhta municipal district: generalization of law enforcement practice, informing, consulting, preventive visit, announcement, warning. The results of law enforcement practice are displayed in the annual report, which is subject to approval by the head of the Ukhta municipal district and is posted on the official portal of the administration. Based on the analysis, the main problems in municipal land control in the territory of the Komi Republic have been identified: insufficient technical support, lack of authorized bodies and officials to carry out land control measures, low level of regulation in municipal legal acts, limited capabilities of the inspector. To solve the considered problems, a number of recommendations are proposed: proper technical support, amendments to the legislative framework on the issue of expanding the powers of the municipal inspector, professional development of inspectors, differentiation of responsibilities of municipal and state land control.

Published: April 2024

Abstract: The use of recycled polymer materials with a low carbon footprint, which enable a circular economy, is becoming increasingly interesting for commercial use in the world. The main reasons for this are the accumulation of waste after the use of polymer products and the warming of the atmosphere as a result of the overloading of the environment with greenhouse gases produced during the extraction of these materials. We were interested in the differences in properties between differently modified samples of thermoset waste in a thermoplastic matrix. We paid the most attention to the influence of the modification of the interface on the stiffness and strength of the prepared material. The results of tensile and bending tests showed that with the right combination of compatibilizers, we could successfully increase the stiffness and strength of the composites. The simultaneous increase in stiffness and strength is a very good indicator that with the right combination of compatibilizers (PP-g-MA and modified TPU co-polymer) we were able to ensure a good surface interaction between the fibres and the polymer matrix in these samples with the right combination of compatibilizers (PP-g-MA and modified TPU copolymer). Waste paper was added to the thermoplastic matrix as a reference. The difference in the performance of the composites can be explained by the better wettability of the waste paper with the SEBS-g-MA compatibilizer and the better interfacial interactions of the modified TPU copolymer with the thermoset and the PP-g-MA with the glass fibres in the case of the waste thermoset composite. Keywords: waste thermoset, compatibilizer, thermoplastics, different fraction of waste thermosets, composites

Corporate Social Responsibility as a Key Factor for Development of Sustainable Business
Authors: Tokushev Damir
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Responsibility is an organizational position that ensures discipline and the most effective attitude of the Company to its responsibilities to the public. Corporate social responsibility contributes to the creation of a favorable environment for business development, interaction between business and the state, where the interests of the population are represented by public organizations, which in turn turns into social partnership. Social partnership depends on the balance of three important systems, such as: social, economic and environmental. In one of the companies in Kazakhstan that takes an active part in the development of corporate social policy a program is being used within the framework of social responsibility that the company is actively pursuing. Within the framework of this program, the construction of socially significant facilities is being implemented, such as: construction of a central hospital in the city of Kulsary, construction of a central stadium in the city of Kulsary, construction of a pre-school in the Koktem microdistrict in the city of Atyrau, construction of a school named after Zhumabayev in the city of Atyrau. The company carries out partnership with higher educational institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan, one of such educational institutions is Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU) University. The company is actively developing a corporate social policy in the field of environmental protection, supporting social programs and improving the lives of the local population. Considering the above, we can conclude that corporate social responsibility is an integral part of the development of the company’s sustainable business in Kazakhstan.

STEAM Approach: SMS (Stories Based on Music about Scientists) on Artificial Intelligence Created by Jacob Bruce (1669–1735)
Authors: Istileulova Yelena
Published: April 2024

Abstract: The proposed theme of this paper is how "Arts" and "Science," with the inclusion of the topic of "Health", can be combined through a story based on research about innovation in the Past. The goal of this paper is threefold. First, to present a research-based story about Jacob Bruce (1669–1735), a scholar of Scottish descent born in Moscow, and his innovation – the prototype of Artificial Intelligence, humanoid robot. Second, to illustrate the new experimental interdisciplinary method of storytelling - SMS (Stories based on Music about Scientists), a novel approach that integrates Arts (Music, Poem, Digital images), Science (Historical Research about Innovations of the Past), and Culture (cultural heritage with metaphor of a philosophical soul development). Third, to explain how this method can be applied. SMS method created in 2012 uses the Avant-garde genre of Music with the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, holistic approach, and implies a deeper level of integration of various disciplines. The theme of this SMS is a song-story about the beautiful humanoid girl-robot (but with a different technology of the 17th century), which serves as a prototype of the modern homunculus or AI created by Jacob Bruce. AI humanoid already resembled a natural human being by the end of the 17th century. The author explains and discusses how and why SMS can be used as an Innovative Teaching and Learning method, related to Science and Arts (similar to STEAM approach), with the power of Lifelong Learning (LLL), and pedagogical didactics across branches of sciences, thus stimulating innovations and discoveries. Keywords: Arts and Science; Innovations; STEAM/SMS (Stories based on Music about Scientists) method; Jacob Bruce (1669–1735); Innovative Teaching and Learning; Health
Cat Facial Action Coding System (CatFACS) and Scientific Illustration
Authors: Kovačič Pšenica
Published: April 2024

Abstract: This study explores the complex world of feline communication, focusing on analyzing facial expressions. It utilizes the Cat Facial Action Coding System (CatFACS) with art theory for scientific illustration, presenting a novel approach in this field. CatFACS is employed for a detailed, objective analysis of feline facial expressions. However, as CatFACS does not inherently examine the emotional component, art theory is integrated to interpret these expressions. This combination provides a comprehensive understanding of cats' emotional states by focusing on both observable physical cues and inferred emotional contexts. Integrating CatFACS with scientific illustration reveals intricate insights into feline emotions and communication. This approach uncovers complex behavioural patterns, enhancing the accuracy of behavioural interpretation. This study significantly contributes to feline welfare and understanding of human-cat relationships. Highlighting the importance of nuanced approaches in animal behaviour studies provides practical insights for pet owners and veterinary professionals, aiding in better understanding and caring for cats. Keywords: Feline; Facial expression; Communication; Illustration

Abstract: Tobacco-free nicotine pouches, first introduced in Sweden, are made as a less hazardous product for cigarette consumers. Instead of tobacco leaves, they consist of nicotine-containing powder and other ingredients such as water, salts, natural aromatic oils and others, that will boost the flavor and effect and make it last longer. This research aimed to investigate the extraction efficiency of nicotine from poaches of different brands. The effects of alcohol and sugars present in saliva at different pHs and consumption times were investigated as well. We optimized a High performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection method (HPLC-DAD) for nicotine determination and its quantification. We used reversed-phase chromatography (RP-HPLC), and a mixture of sodium hydrogen carbonate and acetonitrile as a mobile phase (85:15, v/v). Different brands of nicotine pouches were used. Nicotine extraction rate showed positive linear dependence on time. The percentage of extraction was measured at different intervals, up to two hours, without getting a plateau. Nicotine extraction lowers with the increasing volume of saliva. The obtained results have shown that the increasing ethanol concentration in saliva (from 5-40 %) leads to a higher extraction rate, coming up to 85 %. In the case of sugar addition, the results were variable. Experiments with White fox pouches have shown that extraction of nicotine decreases with a higher concentration. On contrary, Siberia pouches do not exhibit that correlation. When it comes to pH, we used pH range that usually varies in saliva and the results have shown no significant differences.
