Lithium (Li) is the lightest metal in nature. Natural lithium contains two stable isotopes 6Li (7.43%) and 7Li (92.57%), both playing a crucial role in the nuclear industry. Because of its high reactivity, pure elemental lithium is not found in nature. Instead, it may be seen as a constituent of salts or other compounds. Similarly, commercial lithium is available as lithium carbonate, a stable substance easily converted to other salts or chemicals. Production, processing, and purification of lithium are costly processes. The need to separate lithium appeared with the industry's transition from non-renewable to non-polluting. Recently, new techniques for lithium recovery have been developed at the laboratory scale with the potential for industrial production, such as adsorption-desorption cycling and diffusion dialysis pulsed electrochemical intercalation, and membrane separations [J. Hou et al., 2021]. The membrane-based separation processes have produced superior results for extracting Li+ and lithium isotopes enrichment. This overview will integrate the methods for lithium isotope separation using different types of membranes and their advantages and disadvantages.
Sewers in Civilization. The Struggle for the Sanitary Condition of the Human Environment
Authors: Ivanyushin Yuriy A. , Obuhova Marina V. , Mironov Victor V.
Published: November 2024

This paper is dedicated to the issues of human activity on sanitary ‘frontier’ from antiquity to present. The structure of the article is determined by the initially put forward hypothesis about the unconditional relationship between the stages of civilizational development and technical level of sewers of ‘frontier’ states: centers of science, technology, and culture. We used systemic approach: development of sewerage systems was analyzed chronologically; the importance of environmental engineering “city-river” systems were noted; and the stages of formation of sewers in the largest centers at industrial era, as well as the need for their modernization in connection with deterioration of environmental situation and corresponding demand of society were considered separately. Although contemporary sewer systems are one of the most amazing inventions of mankind, the contradictions inherent to these systems have not yet been resolved on a global scale. The authors conclude that many of the problems that faced the largest cities in developed countries in the past are now facing the capitals and agglomerations of developing countries. Echoes of the medieval unsanitary conditions can be found everywhere in today’s settlements, and sewer systems of the world’s largest industrial centers often correspond to Victorian London in the level of development and perfection. There is an increasing need for a fundamentally new approach to organizing engineering systems while maintaining and, in some cases, increasing the level of hygiene and sanitation. Digital technologies will become increasingly important.
The paper is intended for the readers interested in development of certain areas of management, – in this case it is the sphere of sewerage, – and their impact on the human habitat.
Trade on the Frontier: Entrepreneurial Techniques and Practices in the Russian Far East in the Second Half of the 19th – Early 20th Centuries
Authors: Poznyak Tatiana Z.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the specifics of the forms and methods of trade on the Far Eastern frontier in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. At the initial stage of colonization of the region, trade was distinguished by a number of features characteristic of frontier zones: the predominance of import trade, distribution trade carried out along the rivers from barges, fairs and mixed stationary trade. One of the main features of trade on the Far Eastern frontier was significant foreign influence. The competitive advantages of entrepreneurs from the USA and European countries were formed at the first stage of colonization from the delivery of goods by sea, the presence of established connections with suppliers of goods in the homeland, the possibility of obtaining a loan or the availability of working capital, the attraction of qualified compatriot employees, high quality of service and a comfortable environment in stores, and at the beginning of the 20th century – due to the export of technical innovations, further improvement of the quality of service, and the introduction of new standards of retail premises. We can speak of the perception of some of these practices by Russian merchants and positive changes in the organization of their trade business only in relation to the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century. It is difficult to judge, given the lack of memoirs of regional entrepreneurs, whether this occurred under the influence of European entrepreneurs or it was a consequence of business development and the increased level of education of local merchants.
The main reasons for the success of the Chinese traders were solidarity, the ability to please the customer, mutual lending, minimizing expenses on advertising, insurance, furnishings of retail premises, heating, lighting and wages of employees, as well as the use of illegal and legal, but morally dubious methods of enrichment - the sale of low-quality or spoiled goods, non-payment of taxes, smuggling, fraud. Russian and European entrepreneurs estimated the methods and practices of Chinese entrepreneurs negatively, and perceived them as dangerous competitors. The Asian influence on Russian entrepreneurial culture was complicated not only by the existence of a religious and cultural boundary between the Chinese and Russians, but also by the European idea of civilizational superiority and the civilizing mission of Europe, which was accepted by the educated society of the Russian Empire and formed the basis for the attitude not only towards aborigine, but also towards Chinese migrants.

Evaluating Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves: A Comparison of Extreme Value Type I and Log-transformed Pearson Type III Distribution Methods in Bangladesh's Northern Region
Authors: Islam Md. Rafiul , Jannat Maliha N.
Published: November 2024

In semiarid regions, the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves for rainfall are critical for managing water resources, as water scarcity is often the primary limiting factor. This study takes a comprehensive approach to generalize the relationship between daily rainfall and shorter-duration rainfall across varying return periods. Urban drainage infrastructures—like storm sewers, culverts, and other hydraulic designs—must be developed to address both drought and flooding issues. Daily rainfall data are typically sufficient for hydrologic and floodplain analyses related to designing and evaluating water control mechanisms, including polders, flood barriers, irrigation, and drainage systems. Small hydraulic systems such as culverts, storm drains, and drainage systems in urban areas or airports are often designed based on extreme rainfall data. This study utilized 44 years (1980–2023) of annual maximum rainfall data from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD). The Indian Meteorological Department's (IMD) empirical reduction formula was applied to estimate short-duration rainfall intensities using this data. IDF curves and equations were developed using the Log Transformed Pearson Type III (LPT III) and Extreme Value Extreme-Value Distribution methods. The results obtained using the Extreme Value method was slightly higher compared to the LPT III distribution results. The estimated rainfall intensities agreed with previous studies in certain areas of the study region. IDF equation parameters and correlation coefficients for various return periods (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years) were determined using the least squares method. The results demonstrated high correlation coefficients, indicating the reliability of the equations in estimating IDF curves for the studied region. The study also found that rainfall intensity decreases as the duration increases, and those storms of any duration become more intense over extended return periods.

The paper describes an analysis of the temperature drop and heat losses of crude oil along the l = 91000 m main oil pipeline. The analysis was performed for domestic paraffin oil with an average paraffin content of 15% and a pour point of 26 oC, when the initial heating temperature is t1 = 40 oC. Such oils have high flow temperatures and unfavorable characteristics for pipeline transport. When transporting heated crude oil through pipelines, the temperature of the oil at the end of the pipeline must not be lower than the pour point. During the transportation of heated crude oil, there is an exchange of heat with the surrounding soil. This is how the oil temperature drops in the direction of its flow. The following parameters have the most influence on the temperature drop along the oil pipeline: mass flow m (kg/s), heat capacity of transported crude oil cn (J/kgK), heat conduction coefficient kDm (W/mK), pipeline length l (m). Determining the optimal heating temperature before introduction into the pipeline is information that is necessary when designing an oil pipeline.

Published: November 2024

Searching relevant literature sourcesit was found that the determination of fire hazard zones in warehouses is not sufficiently researched and studied. This paper aims to present a new methodological approach concerning the mentioned issue. Based on the COPRAS multi-criteria decision-making method, a new method was developed for the precise determination of potential zones where there is a risk of fire. The advantage of the described method is that it enables quick and easy determination of all orientation zones of fire risk in a quick and simple way. The method requires fewer hardware resources compared to the existing ones and enables the display of the warehouse space in the form of a 3D model with calculated fire hazard zones. The mentioned procedure represents the first step when planning the layout and arrangement in the warehouse itself. The effectiveness of the proposed method was confirmed through a suitable numerical example.

This paper represents a review of papers that analyze forest fires in Serbia via GIS and remote sensing data. Forest fires are a hazard that could threat to the environment, and especially protected areas. GIS has great possibilities for analyzing spatial data, such as satellite images obtained by remote sensing methods. By using different data, it is possible to get more information about the extent of damage caused by forest fires, but also data about which areas are more threatened by forest fires than others. This shows the importance of GIS in forest fire analysis and that research on this topic should be continued.

General and Language Self-concept among University Foreign Language Learners
Authors: Asif Sadia
Published: November 2024

Self- concept studies are mostly Psychology- based studies. However, limited work is done in the area of language which focuses on self- concept as an affective factor. The present study explores the general self- concept and English self- concept of students who are studying English as a major and who are studying it as a part of their degree program. Students’ self- concepts are determined at the group as well as gender level. In order to determine the general self- concept, Shevelson’s SDQ111 questionnaire (social, emotional, academic, self-esteem only) was used and to find the general English self- concept, a questionnaire was designed on the pattern of SDQ111, which contained the parts covering four language skills, grammar and phonology. Simple mean values of their scores were taken. The findings of the study revealed that students of non- major group excelled the students of major in all self- concepts except for girls’ English self- concept. Gender differences were quite interesting. In both groups (major & non- major) girls showed higher level of self- concepts than boys. Important implications for future studies are discussed in the end.
TOMOGRAFIA COMPUTADORIZADA DE PERFUSÃO NA AVALIAÇÃO DA AUTORREGULAÇÃO CEREBROVASCULAR E FLUXO SANGUÍNEO DURANTE ANESTESIA: UMA REVISÃO DE EVIDÊNCIAS CLÍNICAS

Published: November 2024

Introdução: A tomografia computadorizada de perfusão (TCP) desempenha um papel crucial na avaliação da autorregulação cerebrovascular e do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral em pacientes submetidos a anestesia, especialmente em procedimentos de alto risco neurológico. A autorregulação cerebrovascular permite ao cérebro manter um fluxo sanguíneo constante, mas esse mecanismo pode ser comprometido durante a anestesia devido a fatores hemodinâmicos e à escolha do agente anestésico. Este estudo visa revisar as evidências clínicas sobre o uso da TCP como método de monitoramento intraoperatório para prevenir complicações neurológicas. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão de estudos clínicos e sistemáticos publicados entre 1998 e 2024, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e Embase. Foram incluídos estudos que empregaram TCP para avaliar a autorregulação e o fluxo sanguíneo cerebral durante anestesia, com ênfase nos efeitos de diferentes agentes anestésicos, como sevoflurano e propofol. A triagem dos estudos focou em ensaios clínicos e revisões com resultados quantitativos sobre parâmetros hemodinâmicos e complicações associadas. Resultados: Os resultados indicam que o uso do sevoflurano, um anestésico inalatório, aumenta o fluxo sanguíneo cerebral devido à sua ação vasodilatadora, mas pode comprometer a autorregulação em pacientes com vulnerabilidades neurológicas. Por outro lado, o propofol, um anestésico intravenoso, preserva a autorregulação e mostra-se mais estável hemodinamicamente, sendo preferido em cirurgias de alto risco. Além disso, o monitoramento contínuo por TCP e ultrassonografia Doppler permite intervenções oportunas, minimizando o risco de complicações como isquemia e delirium pós-operatório. Conclusão: A TCP revela-se uma ferramenta eficaz e indispensável para a prática anestésica moderna, proporcionando um monitoramento em tempo real que melhora a segurança dos pacientes. A escolha criteriosa do anestésico e o uso de técnicas de imagem avançadas contribuem para a prevenção de complicações neurológicas, especialmente em pacientes idosos e com alto risco neurológico. A integração da TCP e de agentes anestésicos que preservam a autorregulação cerebrovascular pode melhorar significativamente os resultados pós-operatórios e promover uma abordagem anestésica mais personalizada.

This study explores the relationship between stock volatility, measured by beta & price movement patterns using the Fibonacci series in the context of low beta stocks. Low beta stocks, typically more stable than high beta ones, were analyzed using Fibonacci retracement & extension levels to identify key support & resistance points. Historical price data from Nifty 50 low beta were examined under various market conditions including bullish, bearish & stable. The findings from our research indicate that the low beta stocks adhere to Fibonacci levels, hence it offers reliable long-term guidance. The study highlights that while Fibonacci retracement levels are useful, their effectiveness depends on stock volatility & market conditions, which helps investors in optimizing their trading strategies.

Building resilience in areas susceptible to climatic hazards is widely recognised as a critical strategy. This article offers valuable insights into the contribution of institutions to supporting smallholder farmers in building resilience against the effects of climate change. Data for this article was collected from Manzase and Haneti villages in Chamwino district in Dodoma region, Tanzania. The study adopted a qualitative approach and deployed key informant interviews and focus group discussions for data collection. The result showed that institutions that operate in the villages under study which include agricultural extension agencies, Non-Governmental organisations, private companies and village governments, have played such roles as providing drought-resistant seeds, disseminating seasonal weather forecast information and supporting the establishment of income diversification activities to farmers. Furthermore, the institution facilitated agroforestry farming through natural tree regeneration and ensured access to crop markets and loans for farm inputs. These roles have contributed to reducing crop loss due to drought and rainfall unreliability, enhanced household income, and allowed households access to food during drought-induced crop failure. The study also revealed that institutional linkages are crucial in comprehensively addressing challenges faced by smallholder farmers, thereby building their livelihood resilience. This paper argues that strong institutional support is essential for farmers to build resilience against climate change.

O trigo é um dos principais cereais consumidos e produzidos mundialmente, com uma produção de 775,81 milhões de toneladas em 2020/21. No entanto, o Brasil depende da importação, embora a região tropical apresente um grande potencial para o cultivo, são reduzidas as cultivares disponíveis no mercado. Esta pesquisa foi conduzida na Universidade Federal de Viçosa, seguindo um delineamento de blocos aumentados com nove blocos, sendo as testemunhas repetidas. As características avaliadas foram: altura de planta (AE, em cm), comprimento de espiga (CE, em cm), massa de cem sementes (M100, em g) e produtividade de grãos (GY, em kg/ha). A análise de variância revelou que há variabilidade genética para as quatro características, e as famílias apresentaram resultados superiores aos progenitores em relação ao comprimento de espiga, massa de 100 sementes e produtividade de grãos. A herdabilidade para essas variáveis foi de 45,74% para altura de planta, 66,77% para comprimento de espiga, 59,40% para massa de cem sementes e 78,20% para produtividade de grãos. O Índice Clássico de Smith e Hazel (1936) e Hazel (1943) resultou no maior ganho total, atingindo 49,40%, assim observa- se que há possibilidade de obtenção de famílias de trigo tropical superiores.

Relação funcional entre Serine arginine protein kinase 2 (SRPK2) e Thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) em melanoma metastático murino
Authors:   , Souza Juliana Regina Ribeiro
Published: November 2024

Melanoma é uma forma de câncer que emerge das células pigmentares da pele, conhecidas como melanócitos. Apresenta alto risco de desenvolver metástase e, com isso, altas taxas de mortalidade. O peptídeo Tβ4, sequestrador de actina endógeno de 4,9 kDa, atua na motilidade celular, transição epitelial-mesenquimal (EMT) e outras múltiplas atividades biológicas, incluindo metástase tumoral. Anteriormente, identificamos uma possível ligação funcional entre Tβ4 e Serine Arginine Protein Kinase 2 (SRPK2), uma proteína relacionada ao controle do splicing do pré-mRNA e que têm sido encontradas superexpressas em diversos tumores, incluindo o melanoma. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a relação funcional e a interação entre Tβ4 e SRPK2 no contexto do melanoma metastático. Ensaios fenotípicos in vitro de proliferação celular, migração e formação de colônias foram realizados em células B16F10 de tipo selvagem ou modificadas por CRISPR-Cas9. A dinâmica da actina foi investigada em ensaios de imunofluorescência. Ensaio de ELISA foi realizado para observar a interação. O melanoma metastático foi induzido em camundongos através da injeção de células B16F10. Podemos observar que a expressão de Tβ4 correlaciona-se com mau prognóstico em pacientes com melanoma metastático. Por meio dos ensaios in vitro, observamos que seu efeito na promoção da proliferação celular, migração e formação de colônias foi prejudicado pelo inibidor farmacológico de SRPK ou pela depleção genética de SRPK2. Assim, o Tβ4 promoveu a organização dos lamelipódios da actina, que também foi afetada negativamente pela depleção funcional do SRPK. Além disso, os tratamentos com um inibidor farmacológico de SRPK (SRPIN340) ou com a depleção impediram o crescimento induzido por tumor Tβ4 in vivo. Juntos, esses resultados sugerem que SRPK2 transduz o sinal de Tβ4 em células tumorais para afetar a organização da actina e possivelmente o splicing do pré-mRNA, o que deve ser melhor investigado no contexto do melanoma metastático. Palavras-chave: Melanoma, Tβ4, SRPK2, metástase.

This paper critically engages with Henri Lefebvre’s concept of space, focusing on its gendered dimensions as experienced in everyday life. Structure on Lefebvre's argument that space is socially produced and deeply intertwined with power relations, we explore how gender operates as a crucial axis in the production of space. Through a close examination of various environments like workplaces, domestic settings, and public spaces, which highlight how spatial practices and discourses perpetuate or challenge traditional gender norms. This analysis emphasizes the lived realities of navigating gendered spaces, reflecting on how these spaces are constructed through both overt social structures and subtle everyday interactions. By integrating feminist geographical approaches with Lefebvre’s spatial theory, research focussed a nuanced perspective on how individuals experience, negotiate, and sometimes resist the gendered dynamics embedded in their environments. This research sheds light on the interplay between space and gender, showing how spatial arrangements both reflect and shape social hierarchies. The study explores the spatiality and spatial discourses in the society through various case across the country.

Authors: И.Б. Долженко
Published: November 2024

Актуальность статьи определяется возросшим значением регионализации международной торговли текстилем и одеждой. Выявлено, что регионализация в последнее десятилетие все активнее влияет на динамику и направления торговых потоков текстиля и одежды. Выявлено, что регионализация торговли текстилем и одеждой в Юго-Восточной Азии во многом связана с наращиванием экспорта одежды, а также с бурным ростом потребления в этом регионе. Регионализация торговли текстилем в Азии происходит на фоне сохранения позиции Китая как ведущего экспортера текстиля. Установлено, что значительный эффект регионализации торговли текстилем и одеждой отмечается в Европе и Северной Америке. Выявлено, что регионализация торговли текстилем и одежда слабо проявляется в Латинской Америке и Африке. Регионализация способствует развитию экспорта текстиля и одежды из многих стран для нужд потребителей из макрорегионов. Применительно к России усиление регионализации в торговле текстилем и одеждой выражается в усилении торговых отношений и взаимодействия с партнерами по ЕврАзЭС и СНГ.

The relevance of the article is determined by the increased importance of regionalization of international trade in textiles and clothing. It was revealed that regionalization in the last decade has been increasingly influencing the dynamics and directions of trade flows of textiles and clothing. It was revealed that the regionalization of trade in textiles and clothing in Southeast Asia is largely associated with the increase in clothing exports, as well as with the rapid growth of consumption in this region. Regionalization of textile trade in Asia occurs against the background of China maintaining its position as the leading exporter of textiles. It was found that a significant effect of regionalization of trade in textiles and clothing is noted in Europe and North America. It was revealed that regionalization of trade in textiles and clothing is weakly manifested in Latin America and Africa. Regionalization promotes the development of textile and clothing exports from many countries for the needs of consumers from macroregions. In relation to Russia, the strengthening of regionalization in textile and clothing trade is expressed in the strengthening of trade relations and interaction with partners in the Eurasian Economic Community and the CIS.
Современная роль регионов Арктической зоны Российской Федерации в национальной экономике
Authors: Н.С. Доронин
Published: November 2024

В работе рассматриваются прикладные вопросы развития субъектов, входящих в Арктическую зону Российской Федерации, и их вклад в общий результат национальной экономики. Достижение целей стратегии развития Арктической зоны Российской Федерации до 2035 года также связано со стратегическими задачами по укреплению отечественной экономики в ситуации санкционного и геополитического давления. Арктика становится безусловным козырем современной России и в то же время серьезной уязвимостью. Недоразвитость, вызванная недостижением стратегических целей, чревата потерей стратегических преимуществ и социально-экономической дестабилизацией региональных экономических систем.

The paper examines the applied issues of the development of the Russian regions that are part of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, and their contribution to the overall result of the national economy. Achieving the goals of the strategy for the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation until 2035 is also associated with the strategic tasks of strengthening the domestic economy in a situation of sanctions and geopolitical pressure. The Arctic is becoming an undisputed trump card for modern Russia, and, at the same time, a serious vulnerability. Underdevelopment caused by the failure to achieve strategic goals in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is fraught with the loss of strategic advantages and socio-economic destabilization of regional economic systems.
