THE ROLE OF NORDISM AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE FORMATION OF THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Kyrpychnyk R.
Published: June 2023

The article examines and analyzes the main conceptual foundations of the development of political Nordism and its influence on the formation of the political culture of the Scandinavian countries. The categorical-conceptual apparatus of the study of the problems of the formation of political Nordism is concretized, in particular, the dialectic of development in the modern political process is clarified and the existing approaches of foreign and domestic researchers to the assessment of this phenomenon and its influence on modern political processes in the Scandinavian countries are summarized. Paying comprehensive attention to the analysis of the phenomenon that preceded Nordism, namely the term Scandinavism, which refers to the implementation of regional cooperation projects at the civil, administrative, and cultural levels in the countries of Northern Europe. Analyzing this aspect of the history of regional relations between these countries, we identify the special factors that distinguish the phenomenon of "Scandinavism" and "Nordism" from other forms of regional cooperation in Europe in the second half of the 20th century. All this is traced in the firmly formed and functioning practice of "Nordic cooperation" in the political life of the population of the Northern of Europe. Along with this, the disclosure of the theme of "Nordism" contributes to the refutation of the idea that northern cooperation did not exist or was extremely insignificant before the appearance of the Northern Council. One of the main factors in the formation and effective development of political Nordicism is the absence of certain essential factors that strongly oppose the formation of this phenomenon, which makes it interesting in the global context. Our analysis leads us to believe that all these features are the result that distinguish the Nordic model of cooperation from the global trend of the relationship between political culture and national identity. The model of cooperation envisaged by Nordism went far beyond the scope of simple Scandinavism, in fact it was a modernization and revision of all previously formed postulates of cooperation, which in turn brought considerable progress and gains in the development of the political culture of the Scandinavian region. Let's look at this assumption in more detail and give it great validity.
THE ROAD TO PEACE: STRATEGIES, AGREEMENTS, FORMATS, SCENARIOS AND ZELENSKY’S 10-POINT PEACE FORMULA
Authors: Krupenya I. , Tututchenko O.
Published: June 2023

The study is devoted to the analysis of strategies, agreements, formats, scenarios and formulas of peace, which were proposed by both national statesmen and the international community, security organizations, and analytical centers for the survival of the Ukrainian state. The peacemaking efforts of V. Zelenskyi in the first two years of his presidency are demonstrated. The transformation of approaches to the resolution of the conflict from 2014 to 2022 was traced. The fact was established that Ukraine had to recognize the Russian-Ukrainian war as a reality on February 24, 2022. V. Zelenskyi’s ten-point peace formula, which aims to ensure the path to a just peace, is analyzed. The courage of the president to publicly state at the G20 summit that there is a set of solutions that need to be implemented and that needs to be done publicly, not behind the scenes, is noted. This aggressive Russian war should have ended justly, on the basis of the UN Charter, and Ukraine should not be offered compromises with conscience, sovereignty, territory and independence. It is emphasized that the Russian-Ukrainian war is the largest in Europe since the Second World War, goes beyond the limits of a bilateral conflict and has a fundamental impact on the system of international relations in the security, economic, trade components and on regional and global processes as a whole.
DIRECTIONS FOR INNOVATIVE ANALYTICAL AND STATISTICAL TECHNOLOGIES IMPLEMENTATION AS A TOOL FOR CORRUPTION COUNTERACTION IN THE STATE
Authors: Yatsyna Yu.
Published: June 2023

The article is dedicated to the problem of implementing innovative analytical and statistical technologies as a tool to counteract corruption in the state. Innovative analytical and statistical technologies are broadly defined as a set of methods and tools based on the use of mathematical and statistical methods of data analysis to detect useful dependencies and regularities in data, improve decision-making efficiency, and detect anomalies in various fields of activity. More narrowly, they are defined as the process of using the most advanced data analysis methods to detect complex dependencies and useful regularities in data. Based on the content analysis of thematic publications, 4 directions were identified: 1) the direction of developing methodological tools; 2) the direction of analyzing secondary sociological data; 3) the direction of creating automated systems for natural language analysis and visualization of spatial data; 4) the direction of implementing machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies for identifying subjects of corruption relations and/or obtaining statistically substantiated confirmations of the presence/absence of corruption. It is determined that the most significant direction is practice-oriented studies, where testing of the relevant theoretical models and methodological tools takes place, and precedents are created for the use of the results of analytical and statistical studies as part of the evidence base of fraud or corruption. It is determined that a direct example of applying innovative analytical and statistical technologies as a tool for corruption counteraction from a political science perspective is electoral forensics. Within electoral forensics, two groups of methods are distinguished. The first group originates from the theory of numbers and refers to the frequency characteristics of numerical data of electoral statistics. The second group of methods relies on the search for anomalies in the relationships between different parameters of the electoral process, for example, turnout level and winning candidate support level. The main criterion used to detect electoral corruption is the discrepancy between the real (documented) election results and the normative (model) ones.
DETERMINANTS OF DOMESTIC CRIME
Authors: Buriak K.
Published: June 2023

The article examines the causes and conditions that determine the occurrence of domestic crime from the standpoint of dualistic and dialectical approaches. According to the dualistic approach, the determinants were considered by content: socio-economic, political, psychological, educational, geographical, spiritual, situational-victimological, normative-legal. By level of distribution: at the macro-, micro- and individual levels. By duration of action: short-term, medium-term, long-term. Based on the dialectical approach, the definition of the causes and conditions of domestic crime is proposed and a list of them is provided. Thus, the reasons for committing domestic crime include: the personality of the criminal; criminogenic deformation of social consciousness; mental disorders; jealousy; priority of material needs over spiritual values, social inequality, devaluation of the partner; legal and moral nihilism; refutation of the importance of the institution of the family; mentality; depressive states; abuse of alcohol on narcotic substances; difference in interests, life orientations and aspirations of spouses, incompatibility of partners; the difference in the worldview of the couple; shortcomings in the work of the police, reluctance to participate in the resolution of family conflicts; a serious illness and its consequences in one of the spouses, the spread of the cult of violence through television, the Internet; bad upbringing or its absence, a disappointing example of parents, in families where domestic crime takes place; weakening the influence of religion. The conditions are divided into: subjective (unfavorable family environment in which family violence prevails and which serves as a primary center for a future offender; defects in family upbringing; spoiling children from disadvantaged families at the stage of personality formation) and objective (poverty, lack of normal conditions of existence, stratification of society, weakening of the family institution, devaluation of the role of women, cultivation of violence through the Internet, video games); necessary and sufficient, accompanying conditions are also highlighted.
Caribbean Segment of China’s Belt and Road Initiative in the Context of Sino-US Relations
Authors: Arsentyeva I.
Published: June 2023

The 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR), part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), aims to turn China into a “strong maritime power” controlling the most important sea routes. The Special Declaration, signed in January 2018 during the Second China–CELAC Ministerial Forum, refers to the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) as the MSR’s “natural extension”. By the beginning of this year, more than 20 LAC countries, including two-thirds of the Caribbean, have become “indispensable participants” in the Initiative. The article analyzes the BRI’s implementation in the Caribbean region in the context of Sino–US relations. The primary sources are government documents, papers of international organizations and forums, think tank reports, speeches by officials, media publications, etc. In the course of the study, the following results are obtained: recent scientific works on the topic are listed, the issues considered in them are highlighted; some BRI’s infrastructure projects in the Caribbean are briefly characterized; the BRI’s impact on Sino–US relations is identified; the possible ways of further development of the situation are predicted. The author comes to the conclusion that, on the one hand, China is reaping the economic and political benefits from engagement with the Caribbean countries. On the other hand, Beijing is advancing on the grand chessboard by extending the BRI to the USA’s “backyard” and “soft underbelly”. The United States perceives the Initiative as a grave threat to national security and takes retaliatory measures. This determines the relevance of further studies on the BRI’s Caribbean segment.

Authors: Papadopoulos Christos , Bachtsiavani Sotiria , Afrati Tereza , Akrivos Pericles
Published: June 2023

A study is carried out by means of distributing a pair of questionnaires to secondary education students in minor urban areas of Northern Greece. The content of the questions is related to the concept of stoicheiometry (Note 1) as it is presented in the textbooks and described in the Greek chemistry curriculum for secondary education. The two questionnaires were distributed in the beginning and in towards the end of the school year with the scope of mapping the degree of assimilation of the stoicheiometry related concepts by the students. The concept is not introduced to a considerable extent in junior high-school while it is among the main topics addressed in the second grade of senior high-school, when Organic Chemistry is explicitly discussed. The target group therefore, was students of second grade of senior high-schools. The first questionnaire, therefore, serves as exploratory in the determination of the starting point of overall understanding of chemical concepts by the students. The validity of the questionnaires and their efficiency in fulfilling the scope of the current research was carried out by the application of certain post-statistical indices with the final goal being their utilization as a diagnostic tool for probing student understanding of chemical concepts.
Traditions and innovations in nutrition of the Sysolsky Komi in the first half of the 20th century
Authors: Chudova T.I.
Published: June 2023

Based on the analysis of original field materials, a characteristic of traditions and innovations in the subsis-tence system of Sysolsky Komi living in the southern regions of the Komi Republic has been provided. By the beginning of the 20th c., the most successful model of the integrated economy was formed among the Sysolsky Komi of the southern regions, which, along with agriculture and animal husbandry, retained hunting and fishing. Natural and climatic conditions did not always allow a good harvest of grain crops, and their shortage was com-pensated through trading operations, while hunting and fishing activities provided the opportunity to purchase grain. The basis of nutrition was cereals, from which bakery products, porridges, soups and drinks were prepared. Dishes of meat, dairy and fishing/hunting products were not served often, which was associated with the practice of observing Christian fasts, the number of which exceeded 200 days within a year. The forest products provided the overall diversity to the diet and in particular nutrition with a vitamin complex. The technology of cooking was predetermined by the presence of an oven which can bake, boil, stew and deep fry, while frying as a cooking method would be difficult to perform. The formed grain-meat-dairy model of nutrition with the inclusion of hun-ting/fishing products and wild plants is close to the cuisine of the Priluzsky Komi in terms of the composition of raw products and dishes, which can be explained by the territorial proximity of their habitats. However, a unique phenomenon of the Sysolsky Komi is the preservation of the practice of baking ritual Christmas cookies. Socio-economic transformations in the country in subsequent years brought innovations to the food culture. The main role in the food provision of a family with was played, as before, by subsidiary farming; crop yields and livestock productivity were significantly higher than in the collective farm-state system. The increase of areas for potato cultivation and the reduction of areas for crop cultivation led to the replacement of grains by potatoes. Hunting and fishing products was significantly reduced in the diet. Innovative practices included the method of salting shredded cabbage, as well as the practice of cooking freshwater fish with potatoes in milk sour cream sauce, and brewing purchased dry-salted cod. The nutrition model during the Great Patriotic War can be defined as potato and vegetable with the inclusion of wild plants, and natural resources made it possible to keep the minimal level of food consumption during this period. In fact, produce from the forest allowed a minimum level of product con-sumption, while innovations in food traditions became means for overcoming crisis periods in food supply.
“Screen on the Chum”: Social Reconstruction and Mobile Film Propaganda in the North of the Ob region in the 1930s
Authors: Agapov M.G.
Published: June 2023

Drawing on the example of agitation and propaganda campaigns carried out in the north of the Ob region in the 1930s among the indigenous population, a specific tool of the Soviet ideological indoctrination of the Great Break period — a mobile cinema (installations designed to screen silent and sound films to a small audience in open areas and in premises not equipped with stationary film projectors) — has been comprehensively studied. The mobile cinema is considered as one of the varieties of cultural management technologies that are equally characteristic of all states and empires of the modern era, including the USSR, where, due to the existence of state ideology and low literacy of the population, it was even more important than other cultural technologies. The management supported and strengthened the centralized power, serving as a complement to force and coercion. Based on the materials of the State Archive of the Socio-Political History of the Tyumen Region, it has been es-tablished that the first mobile cinema in the north of the Ob region was created under the auspices of the Commit-tee of the North under the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the USSR, but it reached its fullest flou-rishing in the area during the period when the region came under the jurisdiction of the Chief Directorate of the Northern Sea Route (1935–1938). The repertoire of a mobile cinema was compiled centrally, and it included popular science and feature films, united by a common goal, which was the ideological indoctrination of the audi-ence. For representatives of the indigenous peoples of the North, movie screening itself was the most important experience of joining a new life, akin to the rite of initiation. Indigenous peoples were most interested in movies that narrated about their own daily life: hunting, fishing, travelling. Mobile cinemas were moved around the north by sled and specially equipped boats. The work of a mobile cinema in the north of the Ob region was associated with constant overcoming of a number of problems: the shortage of films, frequent breakdowns of movie cameras, and the lack of qualified projectionists. Nevertheless, mobile cinemas made significant contribution to the mo-dernization of everyday life and worldview of the indigenous peoples of the Ob North.
The charioteering in the Bronze Age societies of the Southern Trans-Urals as a social phenomenon
Authors: Kupriyanova E.V.
Published: June 2023

The sites of the Sintashta and Petrovka archaeological cultures of the Bronze Age of the Southern Trans-Urals (Russia) have been traditionally considered as part of the realm of chariot cultures of early Indo-European communities. The analysis of the finds demonstrates that the phenomenon of charioteering carried an important symbolic role in the paradigm of the steppe communities of the Bronze Age. Numerous finds of chariot fragments, elk antler cheekpieces, paired horse sacrifices, remote combat weapons in cemeteries of Stepnoye I, Stepnoye VII, and Krivoe Ozero have been repeatedly subjected to scientific investigation. Collective burials have been discov-ered, in which even women and young children are accompanied by weapons, cheekpieces, fragments of chari-ots and sacrificial horses. Based on this, we have concluded that the community of “charioteers” included mem-bers of a certain clan, possibly related to the production and use of chariots, horse training, etc. At the same time, however, individual burials of adult men with elements of a chariot complex have also been found, which occupied central positions in kurgans; those men could have been actual chariot warriors. Recent findings provide a vivid evidence for this. In the field season of 2021, the Sintashta burial complex (kurgan 33) was investigated in the Stepnoye I cemetery, the central burial of which contained a skeleton of a 35–50 year old man who had a round healed hole in his skull. Theoretically, such an injury could have been caused by a battle axe, similar to ones found at the sites of the Sintashta and Petrovka Cultures. Furthermore, abnormal osteophytosis growths have been recorded on all areas of the man's spine, which could have resulted from both injury and high pressure on spine caused by driving a chariot. One elk antler cheekpiece (an element of horse bridle) was found in the burial, along with numerous bones of sacrificial animals. All details of the burial rite indicate that the buried man was a sig-nificant person for the community, probably a charioteer warrior. Previously obtained AMS dates attribute the Sin-tashta complexes of the Stepnoye I cemetery to the range of about 1950–1850 BC. Thus, the newly investigated kurgan 33 of the Stepnoye I cemetery respresents another piece of evidence indicating the existence of chariot cul-ture among the steppe communities of the Bronze Age in the Southern Trans-Urals.

Territorial Disputes in the Post - Yugoslav Space
Authors: Bickl Thomas
Published: June 2023

This analysis of a sample of territorial or border disputes 30 years after the ‎beginning of Yugoslavia’s disintegration is informed by a pluri-angle analytical‎ framework. With territorial disputes, a single reading of the phenomenon ‎by international law with its established principles and standards of peaceful‎ dispute settlement can be insufficient. More often than not, territorial disputes‎ not only relate to territorial sovereignty per se, but also to issues of nation-‎building and statehood, identity narratives, ontological security, and‎(perceived) legitimacy as to whether a border is ‘just’. In the context of EU enlargement, ‎the level of power (a)symmetry between actors also plays a role. ‎Looking at the case studies (i) Croatia v. Slovenia, (ii) Serbia v. Croatia, and (iii)‎Serbia v. Kosovo, this paper demonstrates why States sometimes do not comply ‎with EU conditionality and that the behaviour of State actors is by no means ‎irrational, but can well sustain a dispute and/or pose a threat to dispute settlement‎ by international law.‎

Authors: McNaughton Jake , Holdsworth Samantha , Chong Ben , Fernandez Justin , Shim Vickie , Wang Alan
Published: June 2023

CT scans are currently the most common imaging modality used for suspected stroke patients due to their short acquisition time and wide availability. However, MRI offers superior tissue contrast and image quality. In this study, eight deep learning models are developed, trained, and tested using a dataset of 181 CT/MR pairs from stroke patients. The resultant synthetic MRIs generated by these models are compared through a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods. The synthetic MRIs generated by a 3D UNet model consistently demonstrated superior performance across all methods of evaluation. Overall, the generation of synthetic MRIs from CT scans using the methods described in this paper produces realistic MRIs that can guide the registration of CT scans to MRI atlases. The synthetic MRIs enable the segmentation of white matter, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid using algorithms designed for MRIs, exhibiting a high degree of similarity to true MRIs.
HYDRAULIC RESISTANCE AND SPRAY REMOVAL IN STABILIZED THREE-PHASE FOAM LAYER

Published: June 2023

Industrial implementation of the stabilization method of the gas-liquid layer can significantly expand the field of use of foaming apparatus and opens up new opportunities for intensifying technological processes with the simultaneous creation of low-waste technologies. The article establishes the basic parameters influencing the hydrodynamics of foam apparatus, considers the basic constructions and operating modes of foam apparatus. The connection of hydrodynamic parameters is revealed. The hydrodynamic laws of the foam layer are considered. The indicated factors affecting the process of mass transfer, both in the gas and in the liquid phases. The conducted analysis of a number of studies showed that the perspective direction of intensification of the mass transfer process is the development of apparatuses with a three-phase fluidized bed of an irrigated nozzle of complex forms with mesh materials. A new design of the stabilizer with a large free volume and a spherical movable nozzle was developed. The advantage of the proposed design is the transition to a structured foam mode of operation at relatively low gas speeds, as well as a developed phase contact surface. After experimental studies of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the combined contact element, experimental data on hydrodynamic resistance and experimental indicators of spray attribution for a contact stage with combined contact elements were obtained. As a result of research, it was found that when using foam layer stabilizers, the spray ratio at the contact stage is reduced, which leads to more stable operation of the device. Empirical equation for determining the value of the spray attribution is given. It is indicated that the mechanism of transition of the nozzle to the mode of advanced fluidization will be significantly different from conventional ballistic nozzles. The study of mass transfer in an absorber with a fluidized bed of an irrigated nozzle is complicated by the fact that the contact surface between phases can vary considerably depending on the hydrodynamic conditions, in particular, on the speed of gas and irrigation density.

DIFFERENTIATION OF TYPES OF INDIRECT DIRECTIVE SPEECH ACT IN GERMAN DIALOGICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Buivol Oleg
Published: June 2023

The problems of professional communication are revealed, which in the modern period of human development have become the most urgent problems of applied linguistics. Over the past two decades, such a scientific and theoretical discipline as terminography has appeared. It is substantiated that information technologies are developing so rapidly due to the formation of new terms that organizing this process and responding appropriately to all existing changes in the terminological field is a very difficult task. It is proved that for successful work on overcoming these problems, a clear structured organization of computer vocabulary should be carried out. The components of the computer language are revealed: terminology (literary and non-literary vocabulary (professionalisms and jargons are stylistically expressive and perform an emotional and evaluative function). Each of these lexical layers has its own specific features, range of functioning and scope. The main purpose of computer terminology is considered - the identification of specific components

of information technology, as well as the structure of the terminological system, which corresponds to the specifics of

this field of science, and its components that enter into the relationship of antonymy, homonymy and polysemy.
Enhancing meaningful work through meaning in life: Mediating effect of prosocial organizational and individual behaviors
Authors: ŞENTÜRK Faruk Kerem , ALTUNOK Dilara
Published: June 2023

The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of meaning in life (MIL) on meaningful work (MW) and to examine the mediating role of prosocial organizational behavior (POB) and prosocial individual behavior (PIB). Data were obtained from employees (600) working in different sectors in Düzce city center. A mediation model was designed and tested employing bootstrapping technique. The results showed that ML had significant effects on MW, POB, and PIB. The findings also demonstrated significant effects of POB and PIB on MW. Besides, the mediating roles of POB and PIB were confirmed. The current study highlights meaning in life, prosocial organizational and individual behaviors as key factors in understanding how employees' find their work meaningful. However, it should be noted that POB has a stronger mediating effect than PIB. In addition, this study suggests that managers focus on prosocial behaviors depending on the contribution to the search for meaning in life and work.

A novel employability embedding framework for three-year bachelor’s programs
Authors: Rana Rajib , Galligan Linda , Fard Rouz , McCredie Tessa
Published: June 2023

Employability skills and capabilities are equally important as academic and technical knowledge in the current job market. Consequently, universities are increasingly focusing on providing employability skills to their students. While universities in Australia are experimenting with various methods for employability embedding, we could not find any framework for embedding employability at the course level. Mapping employability at the course level is non-trivial but necessary to scaffold employability.
e-portfolios form an integral part of employability; however, it is not well defined in the literature how to embed and assess an e-portfolio into a tertiary academic program. Unless an e-portfolio is embedded and assessed in the academic program, the uptake by the students cannot be guaranteed; hence students miss out on the benefits of such an important tool. This paper addresses these two key challenges. It develops an employability embedding framework targeted for a three-year bachelor’s program. This framework also enables the embedding and assessment of e-portfolios. The framework is novel as it offers a scaffolded and organic way to embed employability
Diffusive Leakage Through Existing and/or Induced Microfractures in the Caprock of CO2 Storage System
Authors: Das Ayon Kumar , Hassanzadeh Hassan
Published: June 2023

Safe sequestration of CO2 in subsurface formations requires a caprock that inhibits the unwanted flow of the stored fluids. However, the preexisting fractures and the induced fractures initiated by overpressure and thermal stresses may act as potential leakage pathways. In this study, we describe a physical problem where the caprock with tiny embedded microfractures is subjected to overpressurization at the storage layer. The average effect of the existing and induced fractures is accounted for by employing a spatially variant permeability field. Also, the alteration of effective local stress is considered by applying Pedrosa’s stress-sensitive model. The coupled model for the pressure diffusion in the caprock and monitoring aquifer is solved using a general Bessel function solution and Laplace transform. The nonlinearity due to stress sensitivity was attenuated by Pedrosa’s transform, and a perturbation solution was obtained. The obtained solution was verified analytically and compared against classical solutions. The spatial variability of the caprock permeability field is effectively represented by the caprock’s two endpoint permeability values, storage/caprock interface permeability, and caprock/monitoring aquifer interface permeability. The ratio between the caprock’s two endpoint permeability values, intactness ratio, is observed to decrease with the increase in the permeability modulus, indicating permeability enhancement due to pressure buildup in the caprock. We identified that the temporal change in the spatially variant permeability field due to stress sensitivity is negligible. The results revealed that all averaging methods underestimate the pressure inside the caprock compared to a spatially variant case. This underestimation is minimum at the interface of caprock and monitoring formation for the harmonic average. The pressure evolution in the monitoring aquifer shows an overestimation of pressure when arithmetic and geometric average permeabilities are considered, while the results obtained using a harmonic average are similar to those of the spatially variant case. The reported work is unique as it accounts for pressure diffusion through preexisting and induced fractures and provides a coupled solution for pressure evolution in monitoring aquifers. This analytical model can be extended for double porosity formations.

We reveal the critical effect of ultrafast quantum dephasing on the polarization of high harmonic generation from massless Dirac fermions in graphene. Under the elliptically polarized pump pulse, the elliptically polarized high harmonic generation is produced and exhibits a characteristic polarimetry of the polarization ellipse, which is found to depend on the decoherence time T2 for the dephasing in the multiphoton regime. T2 could then be determined to be a few femtoseconds directly from the experimentally observed polarimetry of high harmonics. This shows a sharp contrast with the semimetal regime of higher pump intensity, where the polarimetry is irrelevant to T2. An access to the dephasing dynamics would extend the prospect of high harmonic generation into the metrology of femtosecond dynamical process in the coherent quantum control.

This paper presents a simple method for identifying prime numbers and determining composite numbers. It has been shown that the primes are ordered and all are placed on 96 half-lines. One linear equation and 8 numbers are enough for all calculations.
Higher evolutionary dynamics of gene copy number for Drosophila glue genes located near short repeat sequences

Published: June 2023

Background
During evolution, genes can experience duplications, losses, inversions and gene conversions. Why certain genes are more dynamic than others is poorly understood. Here we examine how several Sgs genes encoding glue proteins, which make up a bioadhesive that sticks the animal during metamorphosis, have evolved in Drosophila species.
Results
We examined high-quality genome assemblies of 24 Drosophila species to study the evolutionary dynamics of four glue genes that are present in D. melanogaster and are part of the same gene family - Sgs1, Sgs3, Sgs7 and Sgs8 - across approximately 30 millions of years. We annotated a total of 102 Sgs genes and grouped them into 4 subfamilies. We present here a new nomenclature for these Sgs genes based on protein sequence conservation, genomic location and presence/absence of internal repeats. Two types of glue genes were uncovered. The first category (Sgs1, Sgs3x, Sgs3e) showed a few gene losses but no duplication, no local inversion and no gene conversion. The second group (Sgs3b, Sgs7, Sgs8) exhibited multiple events of gene losses, gene duplications, local inversions and gene conversions. Our data suggest that the presence of short "new glue" genes near the genes of the latter group may have accelerated their dynamics.
Conclusions
Our comparative analysis suggests that the evolutionary dynamics of glue genes is influenced by genomic context. Our molecular, phylogenetic and comparative analysis of the four glue genes Sgs1, Sgs3, Sgs7 and Sgs8 provides the foundation for investigating the role of the various glue genes during Drosophila life.
Experimental and Theoretical Evidence Pointing to a Possible Classical Value to Elementary Electric Charge
Authors: Williams Lamont
Published: June 2023

It is well known that electric and magnetic phenomena are closely related. It is also well established that the electron magnetic moment has a classical and quantum value, in which the quantum value is the classical value times a particular number, approximately 1.0012, that accounts for quantum mechanical effects. This study explores the possibility that elementary electric charge (e) also has a classical and quantum value. Data from experiments, as well as a quark-based theoretical study, that identified dual values for e were evaluated. Results show that across the studies, there was a surprisingly consist appearance of a factor of about 1.0015 (or some power of the number) by which the lower value of e in the studies needed to be multiplied to equal the higher value. This suggests that the lower value in each study was reflective of a classical e value, while the higher number began to account for quantum effects, with 1.0015 possibly being an anomalous factor associated with the two values. Interpretations of the findings are presented showing how the study results possibly lead to a fundamental equation for the fine-structure constant and provide plausible solutions to the Landau pole and quantum triviality problems of quantum electrodynamics, which are currently persistent complications in that theory.

PURPOSE:
To explore the efficacy and safety of local injections of dexamethasone into the lateral rectus muscle for treatment of acute idiopathic abducens nerve palsy (AIANP).
METHODS:
A study group and a control group were established for this study. The former received dexamethasone injections into the paralyzed lateral rectus muscle in combination with oral mecobalamin tablets. The control group only received mecobalamin tablets for no more than two months. The follow-up period was > 6 months. Incidence of lateral rectus palsy and diplopia were recorded, as well as complications.
RESULTS:
Between September 2019 and September 2022, a total of 72 patients with AIANP were included in this study (mean age: 54.1 ± 15.8 y). After treatment, all 39 patients in the study group were successfully treated (100%), while only 27/33 (81.8%) patients in the control group were successfully treated. This difference between groups was statistically significant (Fisher’s exact test, P = 0.01). Recovery times for the two groups also differed (3.45 ± 1.49 weeks vs. 12.1 ± 9.83 weeks, respectively; P < 0.001). Among the two groups, only one case of conjunctival congestion was reported at the injection site in the treatment group. Furthermore, recurrence was not observed during the follow-up period (17.9 ± 8.17 months).
CONCLUSION:
Dexamethasone injections into the lateral rectus muscle of AIANP patients are found to be a safe and effective treatment. They also improved the treatment rate and shortened treatment time．
