Impactos ocupacionales y recuperaciones diferenciales según clase social y género en contexto de covid-19
Authors: Estévez Leston Bárbara , Boniolo Paula
Published: December 2022

El covid-19 generó una de las crisis económicas más grandes a nivel mundial del último tiempo: bajas en las tasas de actividad y empleo. En Argentina, que venía de una crisis económica, estos efectos tendieron a aglutinarse durante el primer semestre de 2020 y comenzaron a reactivarse para fines de 2020 y principios de 2021. En este artículo, nos proponemos analizar el impacto del covid-19 en Argentina, sobre la situación laboral y las chances de recuperación según la clase social y el género a través de regresiones multinomiales y lectura de promedios de efectos marginales. Trabajaremos con la encuesta nacional sobre la Estructura social de Argentina y Políticas públicas durante la pandemia por covid-19 (ESAyPP/Pisac-covid-19) relevada en la Argentina urbana entre octubre y diciembre de 2021. Nuestros principales hallazgos muestran que mientras los impactos del covid-19 en el mercado laboral dependen de las formas de contratación, dinámicas de empleo y rama de actividad, las probabilidades de recuperación se distribuyen diferencialmente según las características de los asalariados, profundizando las desigualdades estructurales que las mujeres viven en el mercado laboral.
Call Centers de la ciudad de Resistencia: del promisorio trabajo juvenil a las experiencias de violencia subjetiva
Authors: Graciosi Marcelo
Published: December 2022

El trabajo en los call centers se presentó como una promesa de un futuro mejor para los jóvenes chaqueños a fines de 2010. La instalación de estas empresas desarrolló una oferta laboral significativa para este segmento de la población al que le resulta difícil conseguir empleo. En los más de diez años de existencia de esta actividad productiva, el número de empresas del sector creció, así como el número de trabajadores, lo que contribuyó a reforzar las expectativas positivas sobre este nuevo mercado laboral. El mismo discurso del gobierno de la provincia del Chaco planteaba el trabajo en la “industria” de los call centers como un empleo joven que permitía trabajar y estudiar. Sin embargo, en esta investigación podemos relevar que el trabajo en los call centers en la provincia del Chaco supone formas de violencia subjetiva que con el paso de los años cobró mayor notoriedad. Si bien no se han registrado mayores conflictos en torno a la relación entre trabajadores y estas empresas, en las entrevistas hemos podido registrar cómo la experiencia de trabajo en los call centers supone claros perjuicios físicos y psíquicos para los trabajadores. En términos de una toma de conciencia de clase, podemos considerar que la misma está en un estado germinal, puesto que no se problematiza en términos objetivos como colectivo de trabajadores la situación de explotación ni las formas de violencia que emergen en el mismo. Consideramos que la naturalización de esta violencia está ligada a la misma constitución subjetiva de los teleoperadores.

Authors: Batenkov Kirill
Published: December 2022

The main calculation ratios for the characteristics of nonlinearity are presented: amplitude characteristic, dynamic range and coefficients of nonlinear distortions (harmonic coefficients). The examples show the order of their calculation and analysis. The article indicates that due to the diversity of reception and transmission of multi-channel transfer systems measuring the phase-frequency characteristic is extremely difficult. As a result, approaches to normalising the group transmission time are proposed. The article presents that the value deviation of the group signal transmission time in the channel from the value measured at a frequency of 1.9 kHz in a simple voice frequency channel is normalised, as well as the relative group transmission time regarding the minimum value for various types of endings built on the basis of digital transmission systems

Virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation studies to predict the binding of Sisymbrium irio L. derived phytochemicals against Staphylococcus aureus dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)
Authors: Tiwari Madhurima , Gupta Sunita , Bhargava Prachi
Published: December 2022

The discovery of antibiotics initiated the era of drug innovation and implementation for human and animal health. Very soon, antibiotic resistance started evolving due to over-prescription and heavy usage of drugs leading to deleterious side effects. However, using plant extracts or medicinal plants has emerged as a new approach to dealing with the current problem. One such medicinal plant Sisymbrium irio L. is widely used in Unani therapy as an antimicrobial, analgesic, antipyretic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, bronchoprotective etc. The phytochemicals extracted from the aerial part of the plant have been used as a natural compound library and screened against a well-known anti-bacterial drug target Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)  enzyme of Staphylococcus aureus. The top two phytochemicals with lower docking score along with the positive control were subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies to examine the stabilities of the complexes over 100 ns, followed by binding free energy estimation. The Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD), Root Mean Square Fluctuation (RMSF) and Radius of Gyration (Rg) yielded established results throughout the MD run. Moreover, the derived phytochemicals exhibited lower binding free energy values than the positive control that can be tested for its in vitro efficacy, followed by further optimization to attain a potent therapeutic against S. aureus. Taken together, the present study suggests two promising phytochemicals derived from the aerial part of the plant S. irio with stable MD simulation results, strong binding affinity and no side effects.

Published: December 2022

Antimicrobial resistance is a major world health concern and drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a serious threat. Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, there is an urgent need to develop novel drug targets to meet the challenge of multidrug-resistant organisms. The main objective of the current study was to determine molecular targets against S. aureus using by computational approach. S. aureus was cultured in brain heart infusion broth medium and MRSA (Methicillin resistant S. aureus) protein was extracted acetone-sodium dodecyl sulfate method. The cell lysate was treated with various antibiotics and proteinase K stable proteins were analyzed. The molecular weight of Geninthiocin-targeted protein of interest in S. aureus ranged from 46 to 50 kDa. A prominent protein band in SDS-PAGE indicated that the protein corresponding 50 kDa was resistant against proteinase K. The SDS-PAGE separated sample was excised and trypsinated, and the peptides were characterized using Nano Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Spectrum with clusters of molecular peptides and peptide fragments ranging from 110.0716 to 1002.7093 mass/charge ratio (m/z) were displayed against intensity or relative abundance in the excised gel band. The spectral data from nano LC-MS/MS was subjected to mascot search in the NCBIprot database (taxonomy-bacteria (eubacteria), resulting in seven bacterial proteins. Geninthiocin target proteins were determined against MRSA. To conclude, antibiotic target proteins were identified using a machine learning approach and these targets may have a lot of applications in developing a novel lead molecule against drug-resistant bacteria.

Biological method has evolved to become an important field of nano-biotechnology due to its harmless nature, to be fast and cost-effective. Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) have been the research topic for their unique properties such as diagnosing, treating, and preventing various diseases in all aspects of human life. This work aimed to establish an extracellular and intracellular synthesis of SNPs from Fusarium oxysporum, focusing on evaluating their technological potential. The SNPs thus synthesized were visually characterized by the change of colour then confirmed by Ultra-violet (UV) Visible spectroscopy. The evaluation of the antimicrobial activity against Proteus mirabilis; Streptococcus bovis; Staphylococcus epidermidis; S. aureus; Salmonella typhi; Escherichia. coli and Candida albicans showed a very effective inhibitory with 18±0.66mm as a highest value. The antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH method, and the synthesized nanoparticles recorded a remarkable percentage of free radical scavenges at 82,12 ± 0,42%, 70,46 ± 1,53% and 72,65 ± 1,33% for aqueous fungal extract, cell filtrate and biomass, respectively. The ability of the SNPs to detect hydrogen peroxide was illustrated by discoloration of the synthetic mixture, then confirmed by decreasing towards the disappearance of the characteristic peak. Finally, the photocatalytic performance was studied by the degradation of methylene blue. This activity showed a very interesting decrease in the peak intensity characteristic of this dye. In conclusion, synthesizing SNPs using F. oxysporium has proved their important technological property for the biological activities investigated.
Single nucleotide polymorphism in Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 gene as a risk for COVID-19 among Iraqi people
Authors: Hasan Huda Khadim , Al-Khafaji Noor Salman Khadim
Published: December 2022

Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) is an essential element in the renin-angiotensin RAS  system and plays a key role in coronavirus entrance to the human body and attachment to the cell. Variation in ACE-2 may increase the capability of coronavirus to binding with human tissues and lead to variation in disease severity among patients. For this reason, this study aimed to take some SNPs in different COVID-19 patient cases to show the possible role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE2) polymorphism in people that could have severe infections  caused by SARS-CoV-2 by detecting different single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs on this gene by PCR-sequencing. This cross-sectional study includes 100 diagnosed COVID-19 patients during a period between November and December 2021. The result revealed that three SNPs rs1463669655, rs746202722, and rs201035388 located on ACE-2 (GRCh38.p13) gene did not associate with the severity of COVID-19 disease because all patients have either the wildtype or the heteterotype allele as the following 0 % GG, 100 % AG, and 0% AA as the genotype distribution in severe cases, and the genotype distribution in non-severe cases was 0 % GG, 100 %AG, and 0 % AA and 100 % AA, 0 % AG, and 0% GG as the genotype distribution in severe cases, and the genotype distribution in non-severe cases was 100 % AA, 0 %AG, and 0 % GG and 100 % GG, 0 % GA, and 0% AA as the genotype distribution in severe cases, and the genotype distribution in non-severe cases was 100 % GG, 0 %GA, and 0 % AA for these three SNPs respectively. The ACE-2 angiotensin-converting enzyme gene was studied because of its active participation in the entry of the Coronavirus into the human body and its binding to alveolar cells and concluded that three SNPs rs1463669655, rs746202722, and rs201035388 located on ACE-2(GRCh38.p13) gene did not associate with the severity of COVID-19 disease.

Water security is essential for socio-economic development, ecosystem management, and environmental sustainability. An improved understanding of the relationships between water demand and supply is needed to mitigate the impacts of diminishing water resources. The present study aimed to assess the crop water footprint of sixteen major crops in the basin namely, bajra/ pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), cotton (Gossypium herbaceum L.), gram/chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), guar/cluster beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.), jowar/ sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), lentil/ masoor (Lens culinaris L.), maize (Zea mays L.), mungbean (Vigna radiata L.), rapeseed & mustard (Brassica napus L.), rice/paddy (Oryza sativa L.), sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), soybean (Glycine max L.), urad/ black gram (Vigna mungo L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was estimated during 2008-2020 in the Banas river basin of Rajasthan. The average annual water footprint of crop production varied from 11365.8-23131.5 MCM/yr (Mean 19254.5 MCM/yr) during the study period. Wheat, bajra, maize, rapeseed & mustard make up 67.4 % of the total average annual water footprint of crop production. The blue water footprint of crop production was 3942.1 MCM/yr, with wheat, rapeseed & mustard accounting for almost 87.0 % of the average annual blue water footprint. Blue, green and grey water footprints comprised 20.8, 69.7 and 9.5 % of the total WF of crop production in the basin, respectively. This assessment can play a significant role in developing better policies for properly managing water footprints for sustainable crop production in the basin.

Published: December 2022

Food and nutritional security for the country India depends on the agriculture sector. Groundnut is an important food legume cum oilseed crop and weed infestation is the major problem causing yield reduction. Therefore, the field experiment study was conducted during the winter season of 2022 at Central farm, Agriculture College and Research Institute in Madurai to evaluate the newer multi-mix herbicide combinations and find out the appropriate weed management practices for yield enhancement and weed suppression in irrigated groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The experiment consisted of twelve treatments (T1 to T12) laid out in a randomized complete block design. Among the weed flora, almost two third of the weed infestation was documented as broad-leaved weeds (51%), followed by grassy weeds (36%) and less infestation by sedges (13%) in groundnut at the experimental site. Application of pre-emergence alone and post-emergence alone does not suppress the weed infestation efficiently. For that, this study focused on using multi-mixed herbicides along with hand weeding to determine herbicide's efficacy on weed control and growth parameters. Among the weed control methods, weed-free check (T12) increased the growth parameters viz., Plant height (65.3 cm), Leaf Area Index (4.34) and Dry matter accumulation (5536 kg ha-1) and higher weed control efficiency (99.2%). Among the herbicidal treatments, pre emergence application of pendimethalin + imazethapyr (ready mix) followed by hand weeding at 40 days after sowing (T7) gave significantly (P=0.05) higher results in growth components of groundnut and weed suppression compared to other herbicidal treatments.

Published: December 2022

To reduce the detrimental effect of insecticides, an effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) module is necessary for the eco-friendly management of Maruca vitrata in garden bean ecosystem. Two field trials were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of different insecticides and botanicals against M. vitrata on Lablab purpureus var. typicus. Two seasons field evaluation of insecticides revealed that chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC  was the most effective treatment to control the pest recorded 0.11 and 0.36 larva/plant in two seasons, respectively after two rounds of spray followed by flubendiamide 20 WG (0.46 and 0.92 larva/ plant) and emamectin benzoate 5 SG (0.50 and 0.95 larva/plant). Among botanicals tested, commercial neem formulation and 5% Ageratina adenophora recorded the least larval count of 1.64 & 1.05 larva/plant and 2.24 & 1.45 larva/plant in two seasons, respectively. IPM modules were developed with three effective insecticides (chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, flubendiamide 20 WG and emamectin benzoate 5 SG), two effective botanicals (commercial neem formulation 1500 ppm and 5% A. adenophora) along with the pheromone trap for validation. All the IPM modules were equally effective in managing M. vitrata population on L. purpureus and recorded a significantly (at 5 %) lower larval population than the farmer’s practice. The residues of chlorantraniliprole, flubendiamide and emamectin benzoate reached below the detectable level at the time of harvest. The population reduction of predatory coccinellids and spiders was also lower in IPM modules than in farmer’s practice. An increased benefit cost (1.95 to 1.99) ratio was observed in IPM modules.

Published: December 2022

Phosphorus (P) deficiency in soil limits crop yields and can be managed by P fertilizers. But mere applying P fertilizers alone may not be effective in justifying its bioavailability. At present global P reserves are declining in an increasing way which urges us to find out alternatives. Thus, the present work was taken to prepare phosphocompost using water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as feedstock, termite, and normal soil as bulking agents cum decomposers and enriched with single super phosphate. The effect of phosphocompost on rice(var.ADT-43) productivity, P availability and uptake was evaluated by comparing various P fertilizers (single super phosphate, rock phosphate, di-ammonium phosphate, nano phosphate) combined with or without phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB). The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with seven treatments including absolute control and replicated thrice. Phosphocompost produced with water hyacinth and termite soil microbes come with superior quality and early maturity compared to normal soil. Pot culture study results revealed that rice growth, yield, P availability and uptake were significantly (p<0.05) higher with SSP + PSB, and Nano phosphate +PSB treated plants, followed by Phosphocompost + PSB. The cost of P fertilizer (Rs/ha) related to yield (kg/ha) was found to be significantly low with phosphocompost (Rs.1132/-) than SSP (Rs.1530/-) and Nano P (Rs.2518/-). Further, phosphocompost combined PSB helps in optimizing the P availability in a long run through P solubilization thus sustained the P uptake. The present investigation brings light to the valorization of water hyacinth as compost will be an effective and economically viable alternative for P fertilizers.

Published: December 2022

In India, about 3.77 million ha of the country's geographical area is affected by sodicity. There is an urgent need to minimize further land degradation and restore the fertility of degraded soils to meet the growing demand for food. The most effective way to overcome salt stress is by applying nutrients through soil and foliar. In this context, a field experiment was conducted at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute (ADAC & RI), Tiruchirappalli, in the summer of 2022 to study the reclamation potential of soil amendments and foliar nutrition in sodic soil. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The treatment comprised of soil amendments viz., M1- Pongamia green leaf manure (GLM) @ 6.25 t ha-1, M2- Pressmud @ 10 t ha-1, M3-CSR GROMOR @ 25 kg ha-1, M4-Gypsum @ 50 % GR, M5-Gypsum @ 50 % gypsum requirement (GR) + Pongamia GLM @ 6.25 t ha-1, M6-Gypsum @ 50 % GR + Pressmud @ 10 t ha-1, M7-Gypsum @ 50 % GR + CSR GROMOR @ 25 kg ha-1 and M8- Farmers practice, in main plots and foliar nutrition viz., S1- Foliar spray (FS) of CSR GROMOR @ 3% @ 30 DAS, S2-FS of Brassinosteroid (BRs) 0.2 ppm @ 30 DAS and S3-FS of Melatonin 60 ppm @ 30 DAS in sub plots. The results showed that gypsum @ 50 % GR + Pressmud @ 10 t ha-1+ FS of Brassinosteroid 0.2 ppm @ 30 DAS(M6S2) registered significantly (P=0.05%) lowest pH (8.07), ESP (11.62%), exchangeable Na+ (2.93 c mol (p+) kg-1) with higher exchangeable Ca2+(11.23 c mol (p+) kg-1), Mg2+ (8.09 c mol (p+) kg-1) and K+(0.82 c mol (p+) kg-1). It also increased soil available nutrients (235.6, 24.57 & 309.6 kg NPK ha-1) and grain yield (1110 kg ha-1) of green gram. However, it was on par with gypsum @ 50 % GR + CSR GROMOR @ 25 kg ha-1 + FS of Brassinosteroid 0.2 ppm @ 30 DAS(M7S2). Hence it was concluded that the application of gypsum along with pressmud or CSR GROMOR combined with FS of brassinostroid had a remarkable effect in reducing soil sodicity and increasing the productivity of green gram.

Leishmania donovani is an obligatory intracellular digenetic parasite transmitted by insects, causing serious global health problems as it is endemic to most developing countries. Extensive use of antimony compounds as drugs poses high toxicity and cost; therefore, herbal medicine has identified a position. This study explored the developmental and biochemical characteristics of L. donovani promastigote and the effect of ethanolic extract of Achyranthes aspera Linn (Amaranthaceae) plant on it. The parasites were incubated at 2.5×106 cells/well for 72 h at 23 °C in the presence of various concentrations of extract (µg/mL) dissolved in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with sterile phosphate-buffered saline and 1% DMSO as negative controls and meglumine antimoniate as positive control. Friedman’s repeated measures analysis showed that 96hr of development is the junction point in promastigotes ontogeny. Post 96hr, it grows with a long stationary phase with higher enzymatic activities of acid phosphatase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione (oxidized and reduced). Total protein estimated showed a linear relationship (R2 = 0.999). Phytochemical screening of the plant extract showed the presence of alkaloid, ﬂavonoid, fixed oil and fats, saponin, tannin and phenolic compounds. It showed an effectual free radical scavenging in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay with an inhibitory concentration IC50 value of 61.70 µg/ml. At a concentration of 250 µg/mL, the plant extract completely inhibited the promastigotes in vitro while at 50 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL, the survival level declined by 25-50%. These findings corroborate the ethnopharmacological use of this plant for the treatment of leishmaniasis caused by L. donovani.

Published: December 2022

Estimating crop evapotranspiration is vital for the calculation of irrigation water requirements. Remote sensing data have proven to be a valuable and efficient tool for estimating evapotranspiration. It has been used intensively over the past decade due to free, high temporal and spectral resolution data availability. The main aim of this study was to estimate the evapotranspiration (ET) over a selected area in El-Beheira governorate, Egypt based on the Simplified Surface Energy Balance Index (S-SEBI) using nine Landsat-8 images acquired from January to December 2020. The performance of the studied method was compared with the CROPWAT-8 model. The results revealed the acceptable accuracy of the ET estimated from S-SEBI algorithms with Landsat 8 images according to the coefficient of determination (r2 = 0.82) and root mean square error (RMSE = 0.53 mm/day). Therefore, it is recommended to use the S-SEBI to calculate the spatial evapotranspiration distribution using Landsat-8 images to provide the required information for determining irrigation water requirements and suggesting an efficient water management strategy.
Development of a simplified technique for gap filling of Normalize Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series data
Authors: Faisal M. , Makar R. S.
Published: December 2022

The presence of gaps or missing values in time series prevents the practical use of such data. The current research aims at developing a simplified, straightforward technique for gap-filling the time series data of the Normalize Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) generated using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This research assumes that a relationship exists between the pixel location, date of acquisition and its NDVI value within a defined timeline. Therefore, two relatively simple methods were tested: the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis and the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)to fill the NDVI missing values. While MLR is a well-known simple statistical method, the ANN has been successfully applied for the analysis of various scientific data, including the gap-filling of time series data. Nevertheless, ANN proved its supremacy in such approach. The accuracy of estimation utilizing the developed ANN model reached an average of r2 of 0.8, while the average accuracy of MLR was about 0.3. Nevertheless, the developed model could only be applied within the same timeframe of the images used for developing the model. Otherwise, the accuracy of determination was reduced significantly. The results showed that according to its performance, ANN are promising for filling missing data of NDVI time series and could be applied to any other vegetation indices as well.
The Reflections of the Unity in Language Studies Implemented in accordance with Nationalism in Turkey to Armenians and Other Minorities (1923-1946)
Authors: Ulu Cafer
Published: December 2022

Depending on the ethnicity and religion of the participants, different perspectives were held on the events that were based on Turkish nationalism during the early years of the Turkish Republic. Turkishness was regarded by Turkish nationalists as a shared identity. The non-Muslim minorities in the opposing neighborhood saw this as forced Turkification, even if it was ultimately seen as a great country being changed and a glorious victory. Some people viewed the severe measures used at this time as tyranny and "Turkification." It is obvious that nationalist policies were implemented throughout the early years of the Republic by both the government and groups that collaborated with the executive branch. This article discusses the consequences of nationalism policies on Armenian and other minorities as they relate to language, social life, and education during the early years of the Turkish Republic.
Significance of Prolapse Reduction in Measurement of Postvoid Residual Urine Volume in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Patients: A Prospective Study
Authors: Kim Tae Young , Cho Moon Kyoung , Kim Chul Hong
Published: December 2022

Background: This study compared postvoid residual (PVR) urine volume by ultrasonography in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients before and after prolapse reduction to evaluate the need for prolapse reduction in accurately assessing PVR in women with POP. Methods: This was a prospective study including 128 patients. Both standard methods for measuring PVR urine volume, urethral catheterization, and portable abdominal ultrasound machines were used. An examination was performed by one urogynecologist within five minutes after the patients self-voided. The patients were divided into two groups according to pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) stage, early prolapse stage, and advanced prolapse stage, and comparative analysis was performed. Results: Before prolapse reduction, the Pearson correlation coefficient of PVR urine volume measured by ultrasonography and PVR urine volume measured through urethral catheterization was 0.708 in the early prolapse stage and 0.949 in the advanced prolapse stage. After prolapse reduction, the Pearson correlation coefficient of PVR urine volume measured by ultrasonography and PVR urine volume measured through urethral catheterization was 0.895 in the early prolapse stage and 0.982 in the advanced prolapse stage. Conclusions: These study results showed that prolapse reduction when measuring PVR urine volume by ultrasonography in POP patients is acceptable and essential for enhancing accurate patient assessment.

The development of effective diagnostic tools for arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus is one of the most urgent problems of modern medicine. The aim of the project is to develop software and hardware tools for daily monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose levels based on the patterns of correlation between systemic hemodynamics and blood glucose concentration. 24-hour monitoring of blood pressure and blood glucose level was carried out, the circadian rhythm and daily indices of blood pressure were calculated. Daily pro les and cycle diagrams of diurnal uctuations in blood pressure in groups of patients were constructed. It was found that in 48% of patients with arterial hypertension and 70% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is a deviation of the biphasic rhythm compared to the «dipper» norm, which must be taken into account to detect nocturnal hypertension. Statistical indicators of «pressure load» - daily measurement of time indices are calculated. The method of using software and hardware re ects the correlation between uctuations in blood pressure parameters and the concentration of glucose in the blood, which allows for a comparative analysis of indicators in arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The development of instruments and control devices in medicine is aimed at achieving the quality of complex manipulation operations. The use of mechatronic principles for the construction of automatic devices ensures the creation of new methods and instruments for laboratory analyses. We have developed a mechatronic system of the device for a noninvasive method for determining the concentration of blood glucose on the basis of modeling the correlation between systemic hemodynamic parameters and biological parameters of blood. A functional multivariate analysis was carried out, a computer program was compiled, and mathematical regression formulas were obtained for calculating the level of blood glycaemia based on blood pressure indicators. The mechatronic system includes functional blocks for measuring blood pressure parameters, a control microcontroller for calculating and monitoring blood glucose levels in accordance with the application program.The system is implemented in the form of a noninvasive device «Omelon B-2», which provides the transfer of indicators to the display of the device, communication with the base computer of the system, analysis of the results and creation of a database. The blood glucose measurement range is from 2 to 20 mmol/l. The relative error of the analysis in comparison with laboratory parameters is 17-22%.

Mountainous landscapes affected by strong earthquakes exhibit relatively higher landslide susceptibility in post-seismic periods compared to pre-seismic conditions. This concept is referred to as the earthquake legacy effect and is mainly examined by monitoring either rapid landslide occurrences or slow-moving landslides over time. To provide a more comprehensive understanding of the concept, this research examines post-seismic hillslope evolution by examining the deformation time series generated by the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar technique over the entirety of the area affected by the 2017 Mw 6.4 Nyingchi, China earthquake. Our results show that the average post-seismic hillslope deformation level in the study area is still higher than its pre-seismic counterpart approximately four and a half years after the earthquake. Our findings trigger further research questions regarding whether hillslopes could fully recover after a major earthquake or gain a new level of hillslope susceptibility caused by intense ground shaking.
