Geothermal criterion for assessing the stability of frozen soils in seasonally active permafrost
Authors: Galkin A. F. , Zheleznyak M. N. , Zhirkov A. F. , Baluta V. I.
Published: January 2025

Since the 1990s, climate variability has significantly increased, revealing various climatic anomalies. A clear trend of rising air temperatures has been observed in the permafrost zone and its adjacent areas, adversely affecting the state of frozen soils. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly important to assess the thermal stability of frozen soils in light of current climate change. As a result, it is becoming increasingly crucial to evaluate the thermal stability of these frozen soils in the context of ongoing climate change. A geothermal criterion (Gk) is suggested to assess the impact of climate change on the temperature regime of frozen soils in areas with seasonally active permafrost. (Gk) is represented through a dimensionless temperature simplex t* = (t i /Te) and the Fourier criterion. It is intended to analyze experimental data from geothermal permafrost research collected via borehole thermometry. The theoretical basis for the practical use of this proposed criterion has been established, showing its broad applicability and significant potential for interpreting data from long-term in-situ observations of temperature regime development in frozen soils within seasonally active permafrost.
The impact of large forest fires on frozen pale soils in the Lena-Vilyui watershed
Authors: Desyatkin R. V. , Ivanova A. Z. , Desyatkin A. R. , Nikolaeva M. Ch. , Filippov N. V.
Published: January 2025

The catastrophic wildfires that occurred in Central Yakutia in 2021 resulted in extensive forest destruction, leading to the complete incineration of significant forested areas. This devastation has caused the loss of tree stands and the degradation of forest litter, as well as the upper organic layers of the soil. Consequently, there has been a substantial alteration in the water-temperature regime of permafrost soils, which are formed under permafrost conditions. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of these fires on the morphological, physical, and chemical characteristics of pale soils during the initial years following the fire event, specifically after the destruction of the tree stand and the combustion of the litter and organic soil layers. This research primarily focuses on pale, slightly solodized soils located within the larch forests of the Lena-Vilyui watershed. This research presents comprehensive insights into vegetation and the morphogenetic characteristics of soil profiles, alongside the parameterization of various soil properties, including field moisture, humus content, loss on ignition, , reactions of the soil environment, exchangeable base quantities, and granulometric composition. The findings indicate that the deposition of combustion byproducts, specifically in the form of ash, results in soil alkalization, which is associated with a marked decrease in organic carbon levels within the surface strata. Notably, the morphological characteristics of soils in the control area exhibit significant differences compared to those in the burned region; a thin pyrogenic layer with minimal screening effects has developed in the burned region, soil mixing processes have become more pronounced, and the natural horizontal boundaries of soil horizons have been disrupted. The degradation of heat-insulating ground cover and organic matter contributes to substantial soil heating, leading to elevated soil mass temperatures and an extended seasonal thaw. The thawing of upper permafrost layers and the release of previously sequestered moisture result in soil saturation, which, upon winter freeze, triggers cryoturbation. In contrast, soils that have not experienced fire exhibit only a weak expression of permafrost mixing within the soil profile. Furthermore, the temporary waterlogging of poorly drained soils in the initial years post-fire exacerbates tree.
Dynamics of floodplain vegetation under oil pollution in the Arctic zone
Authors: Turchina T. A. , Yanchenko Z. A.
Published: January 2025

The significance of this research arises from the limited understanding of how floodplain plant communities in the Arctic region change in response to oil pollution. The objective of the study was to determine the trends in vegetation changes in areas affected by an accidental diesel fuel spill. The research focused on the floodplain plant communities of the Nadyezhdinsky Creek, as well as the Daldykan, Ambarnaya, and Pyasina rivers, examining both unpolluted (7 locations) and polluted areas (8 locations). The selection of study sites and the subsequent analyses were conducted using widely accepted geobotanical methods. A comparative analytical assessment of phytocenoses was performed through vegetation monitoring conducted from 2020 to 2022. The primary dynamic processes observed were linked to the emergence and extinction of species, with 53 species recorded in 2020, and 55 species from 17 families noted in both 2021 and 2022. Additionally, alterations in projective cover and shifts in the taxonomic ratios were documented. These changes were reflected in the abundance and diversity of species across various ecological groups. The cool and humid conditions experienced during the 2021 growing season promoted the proliferation of species typically associated with well-watered environments, including Equisetum arvense L. subsp. arvense, Equisetum fluviatile L., Eriophorum scheuchzeri Hoppe, and Carex aquatilis Wahlenb. s. str. In contrast, the warm and dry conditions in 2022 adversely affected these species, leading to their disappearance or a reduction in their projective cover. The predominant changes in vegetation dynamics from 2021 to 2022 can be characterized as fluctuations, regardless of the ecological context of the study sites, with no significant alterations in species composition or shifts in dominant species. Overall, there were no indications of catastrophic effects resulting from oil pollution. The observed changes in the plant communities were localized and primarily attributed to variations in climatic conditions and the specific hydrological characteristics of the individual water bodies.
The body temperature and hibernation pattern of the chipmunk Eutamias sibiricus across various ambient temperature ranges
Authors: Anufriev A. I. , Yadrikhinsky V. F.
Published: January 2025

The aim of this research was to investigate the hibernation pattern of the Siberian chipmunk across a broad range of temperatures, to determine the optimal temperature for hibernation, and to assess their ability to hibernate in relatively low environmental temperatures. In late August, three chipmunks had thermochron temperature sensors (DS-1922L-F5) surgically implanted to monitor their body temperature. The hibernation cycles of four chipmunks were studied by altering the temperature in their nesting materials. When the animals were moved to an underground lab with a temperature of –4 °C, the difference between their body temperature and the surrounding temperature increased by nearly 8 °C, reaching 12 °C to 14 °C as the ambient temperature dropped further. The length of hypothermia periods decreased while the frequency of awakenings increased. The lowest recorded body temperature was at least 1 °C. The longest hypothermia durations occurred in chipmunks exposed to temperatures between –4 °C and 4 °C, lasting 226 to 283 hours (9.4 to 11.8 days). For two chipmunks hibernating at temperatures below –6 °C, the hypothermia intervals averaged 73 and 99 hours, while other individuals had intervals of 174 to 188 hours. The optimal hibernation temperature range for chipmunksin Yakutia is between –4 °C to –6 °C and +5 °C to +6 °C. Hibernation ceases at ambient temperatures above 12 °C to 14 °C. When temperatures drop below –6 °C to –10 °C, the hibernation rhythm changes, resulting in shorter hypothermia intervals,similar to those observed at higher positive temperatures. Thisresearch enhances our understanding of how relatively small mammals can hibernate in low ambient temperatures (down to –10 °C). The findings may also be relevant for comparative studies on the hibernation of other small winter-hibernating mammals, such as hamsters and dormice, weighing up to 100 grams.

Antibiotic use is rampant across freshwater and brackish-water farms. It is routinely used by farmers for disease treatment, prevention and control to maintain high productivity in farms. Antibiotic use and abuse in fish farms have raised concerns regarding public health, environmental sustainability, and the emergence of antibiotic resistance. This study surveyed 60 farms (Grow-out and hatchery ponds) in Ijebu Ode Local Government of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study specifically evaluated the use/abuse of antibiotics among fish farmers, the different forms and types of antibiotics used by farmers, the mode of administration and the withdrawal periods of antibiotics used; using a well-structured questionnaire. In almost 50% of farms surveyed, different antibiotics were lavishly used for routine management. Evidence of antibiotic type and use was found on-site. The on-site production system is 100% earthen ponds. Antibiotics found included those not permitted, not labelled for use in aquaculture or mainly for use in humans; these are Oxytetracycline, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol, Gentamycin, Doxycycline, Ampicillin, and Streptomycin; with the usage frequencies of 28.4, 23.4, 8.3 and 3.3% respectively. Antibiotics found to be used in Eriwe Fish Farms with most forms of antibiotics being powdered and administration is through feed and/or water at incorrect measurement resulting in entire fish stocks exposure to antibiotics, including uninfected fish. About 58.4% of the farmers use antibiotics once a week, 16.6% use antibiotics twice a month, 25% use antibiotics once a month and 45% of the respondents sell infected fish even while being treated. At the same time, 25.5% of the respondents do not observe antibiotic withdrawal period. Several issues including poor technical knowledge such as misuse and overuse were evident. Developing sustainable fish farming practices that reduce antibiotic dependence, protect public health, and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics in aquaculture is important. It is important to promote responsible antibiotic use, raise awareness and implement appropriate regulations to safeguard public health, environmental well-being and a viable production of antibiotics in aquaculture.

ANALYSIS OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF INDONESIAN PROCESSED BLUE SWIMMING CRAB (PORTUNUS PELAGICUS) IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET
Authors:   Program Studi Agribisnis, Universitas Trilogi, Karim Muhammad
Published: January 2025

One of the leading fishery commodities with important economic value is the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus). The product that has a promising market share from this commodity is processed blue swimming crab in the form of cans or airtight packaging which has the HS code 160510. The problem is that the export market share of Indonesian processed crab is limited to certain countries (the United States), while other market shares have not been developed. This study aims to: (i) analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian processed blue swimming crab in the international market, (ii) determine the growth rate of Indonesian processed blue swimming crab exports compared to competing countries, and (iii) formulate a policy strategy to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian processed blue swimming crab in the international market. This study uses time series data and applies the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Constant Market Share (CMS) analysis methods. The analysis results show that the average RCA value of Indonesian processed blue swimming crab is 19.86 (RCA> 1) which indicates that Indonesian processed blue swimming crab has a strong comparative advantage in the international market. Indonesia's strategy for increasing the competitiveness and market share of its blue swimming crab exports is developed in two aspects (i) upstream strategy, and (ii) downstream strategy. These two strategies must be supported by traceability implementation policies, digital-based information systems, market intelligence strategies, providing export tax policies for processed crab trade, and complying with regulations in the main export destination countries.
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS WITH SHIFTED ENCODING A NEGATIVE ZERO
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, SAMOSHCHENKO Oleksandr
Published: January 2025

Computer codes of integers are proposed to be formed in the system of shifted codes with a negative zero. It is
proposed to use the converted code based on the result of inverting the high-order bit of the operand for the addend
in the addition operation and the decrement in the subtraction operation. It is mathematically confirmed that the
computer implementation of operations of addition and subtraction with operands in the coding system with a
negative zero ensures the formation of the correct shifted code in the area of definition of shifted operands. It
shows the range of changes in the total sum at the output of the adder when adding and subtracting integers in the
system of shifted codes with a negative zero.
Characteristic features in the codes of operands and the total sum are indicated, in the presence of which it is
possible to rationally form an indication of the presence or absence of overflow of the result of the operation of
addition and subtraction of integers in the system of shifted codes with a negative zero. It is analytically proven
that the fixation of overflow is possible in a uniform way both during addition and during subtraction. Logical
expressions for forming the overflow polarity in the arithmetic device have been synthesized. The correctness of
using the code of the transformed operands when calculating the binary values of the digits of the sum and the
difference is confirmed in the examples.

The features of image compression based on two-dimensional orthogonal transformations are considered.
It is shown that the increase in the compression ratio can be achieved through the grouping of transformants of
discrete orthogonal transformations (Walsh-Hadamard, DCT, and others) and their vector quantization using a
self-organizing neural network proposed by Finnish scientist T. Kohonen (Self-Organizing Feature Map – SOFM).
Grouping coefficients is an alternative to JPEG zigzag scanning and can not only improve the accuracy of
vector quantization but also increase the compression ratio at the lossless compression stage by improving the
accuracy of the modeler in adaptive lossless coding schemes, which can increase the compression ratio. Also, after
grouping the coefficients, it is easy to organize zonal selection of coefficients, as the coefficients with the same
frequencies are localized in certain areas of the image space, which allows them to be excluded from the image
synthesis process. Testing has shown that grouping DCT coefficients increases the compression ratio by 1.2-2
times compared to methods without coefficient grouping.
Further increase in the image compression ratio is possible with the application of vector quantization of
DCT transformants. Studies have shown that the best results are provided by combined quantization – integer
quantization for low-frequency transformants and vector quantization using a two-dimensional Kohonen map for
high-frequency ones, which allowed increasing the compression ratio of Grayscale images by 30% compared to
the JPEG method.

The method of body metaphor in health and well-being coaching using the example of respondents with endocrine disorders
Authors: Zanin Dmitrii Sergeevich , Golubeva Marina Marina golubeva
Published: January 2025

Today health & wellness coaching requires new approaches and effective solutions; in order for the client to comply with the instructions and adjust the lifestyle so that it contributes to his recovery, the skill of self-regulation, which is one of the components of emotional intelligence, is necessary. Despite the fact that the ways of regulation and the regulation itself belongs to medicine, the models of self-organization, for example, the experiencing of a body metaphor, is a branch of practical psychology. Therefore we have chosen endocrine disorders to examine as a system-forming unit for the organization of human behavior patterns. That is why, as a sample, we were interested in people with endocrine disorders; the physiology of human activity involves two ways of regulation – neural and humoral ones. The humoral one is determined by the presence or absence of neurotransmitters, which act as hormones and are considered in the endocrine system. According to this, a sample of people with endocrine diseases will have difficulties in self-organization processes. Due to cognitive theory, which studies ways of storing and processing information in the human mind, a metaphor is «the one of the main ways of understanding the world, when we think about one sphere in terms of another, thus classifying reality» [22]. Since the first sphere of human experience is one's own body, there are figurative and schematic concepts in mind that are recognized as some understandable and familiar structures because of previous body experience. And further they are applied to abstract concepts as well. In the process of recognition, in addition to comparison with familiar images, we can also see a comparison with the body, the signal from which can be positive, neutral and negative, which determines the emotional coloring of the resulting image. In this study we will test the effectiveness of working with the body metaphor in health & wellness coaching with people facing endocrine disorders through the development of their emotional intelligence.
To take part in the study we invited 60 men and women aged 20 to 35 years upcoming outpatient treatment in the field of endocrine disorders. The respondents have completed our coaching program including the body metaphor method, and the following measurements were taken before and after the program: the test of emotional intelligence (the technique of Nicholas Hall) Author: E.P. Ilyin (2021); Body image questionnaire (OBI). Authors: O.A. Skugarevsky, S.V. Sivukha (2006); Psychological Stress Scale (PSM-25). Adaptation: N.E. Vodopyanov (2009); Emotional Intelligence Test (EmIn-Kr). Authors: D.V. Lusin, A.A. Pankratova, D.S. Kornienko (2022).
The results of the study show statistically significant changes according to the Wilcoxon T-test (p < 0.05), which confirms the effectiveness of using methods of body metaphor in the development of emotional intelligence in people with endocrine disorders.
Self-regulation of personal behavior in situations of normative uncertainty
Authors: Pokhilko Aleksandr Dmitrievich , Kazachenko Oleg Anatol'evich
Published: January 2025

The chapter analyzes the concept of self-regulation, which is often found in various literature and has a large number of interpretations. In particular, psychological self-regulation of consciousness and the corresponding behavior of an individual in conditions of uncertainty is of particular interest. The existence of a person, his material well-being, health and even the life of a person depend on how he can cope with uncertainty and instability. The methodological principle for considering this problem is the principle of dialectical determinism. The result of considering the topic is the identification of its own approach to the study of self-regulation of personality behavior, which allows normalizing its mental state in conditions of uncertainty. The problems of studying self-regulation of personality behavior in the authors are closely related to social problems, and this connection can be designated as «normative determination». Depending on the type of personality, it will react differently to a situation of uncertainty in the absence of clear socio-cultural norms. Moreover, a person can nihilistically reject norms. A scheme of a categorical model for studying the behavior of an individual in a situation of normative uncertainty is proposed.

Authors:   Bashkir State Agrarian University, R.B. Valitova , Z.Z. Ilyasova ,   Bashkir State Agrarian University
Published: January 2025

Currently, there is a wide variety of dry cat food, which makes it difficult to choose
truly high-quality nutrition for your pet. In order to determine the quality of ready-tofeed, we compared complete dry food for kittens of the Bist, Pet-pride, Proplane and
Probalance brands. As a result of the study, it was found that Bist, Pet-pride and
Probalance brands contain more than 30% meat in their composition, the Proplane
brand contains the least amount of meat in the food. Bist brand food has the most
abundant and varied composition, rich in nutrients, since it consists of freeze-dried
meat that retains its beneficial properties, other brands contain dehydrated meat, in
which the beneficial substances lose their qualities during dehydration. When assessing
the moisture content of the food, it was determined that Bist brand food exceeds the
declared indicators by 2.3%. In other brands of food, this indicator is lower than the
declared figures. The crude fat content in the feeds only in the Probalance brand feed
corresponds to the declared figure and even exceeds the declared figure on the
packaging by 2%. In the other brands of feed studied, the crude fat content was lower
than the declared parameters by 2.0-4.3%. The ash content in the studied feeds was
lower than the declared figure on the packaging only in the Bist brand feed – 5.2%, in
the other feeds this figure exceeded the declared figures, but remained within the
permissible limits. Protein – an important figure in all brands of feed studied was lower than the declared parameters by 1-4%, but corresponded to the permissible norm of up
to 36%.

Published: January 2025

This study comprehensively examines startup research over the past 25 years. Analyzing a dataset of 1195 papers from the Web of Science, the paper aims to uncover publication trends, top contributing journals, countries, and common research subjects within the startup research field. Topic modeling is used to identify and categorize major research topics within the startup domain. The analysis reveals a significant increase in research interest in startups, especially over the past decade. This surge is linked to the late twentieth-century internet revolution, which catalyzed entrepreneurial activity and caught the attention of researchers, policymakers, and investors. Topic modeling identified ten major themes in startup research: innovation, startup success, startup ecosystem, economic development, markets, gender, leadership & decision-making, venture capital, and social entrepreneurship. The findings have substantial implications for both theory and practice. For researchers, the identified trends and topics can guide future studies and can contribute to a deeper understanding of the startup world. For practitioners and policymakers, insights into the predominant themes and geographic trends can be fed into strategic decisions and policy formulations aimed at enhancing startup ecosystems and supporting entrepreneurial ventures.
A Comparison of The Analgesic Effects of Paracetamol in Combination with Ketorolac with Morphine Alone in Patients with Renal Colic: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Reza Farnia Mohammad
Published: January 2025

Background: The term renal colic is used to describe a series of acute, short-term, painful attacks that occur as a result of the expulsion and movement of kidney stones. This is primarily caused by urethral obstruction, which leads to increased pressure behind the obstruction site. The treatment for renal colic is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids. In this study, paracetamol plus ketorolac were compared to morphine alone with regard to relieving renal colic pain.

Materials and methods: The present study was a randomized double-blind clinical trial with a sample size of 30 individuals in two groups. The numeric rating scale (NRS) was utilized to compare the severity of pain. The repeated-measures analysis of variance and the independent t-test in SPSS 22 were used to analyse the data.

Findings: A total of 60 patients with renal colic (34 in the drug combination group and 26 in the morphine group) were used as research samples. There was no significant difference between the drug combination group and the morphine group in terms of gender, age, and weight groups, but they were significantly different in terms of pain severity at 15, 30, and 60 minutes after the intervention. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the drug combination group and the morphine group in terms of pain severity at five times of measurement, before the intervention, and at 0, 15, 30, and 60 minutes after the intervention (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: The mean scores of renal colic pain severity were reduced in patients at 0, 15, 30, and 60 minutes after drug intervention, and the reduction in pain severity was greater in the morphine group than in the combination treatment group.
Is There a Need for Regular Surveillance for Bacterial Contaminants in Street Foods of Kathmandu?
Authors: Saud Bhuvan
Published: January 2025

Background: Ready-to-eat street food is common around the world. Unsafe food becomes a source of infection for consumers. This study aimed to investigate the status of bacterial contaminants, antibiotic-resistant patterns and hygiene practices among street-food vendors in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Methodology: A total of 50 ready-to-eat food samples (Momo with soup, Smashed potato, Panipuri, Watermelon and Papaya) were collected from inside Kathmandu city. Collected samples were then cultured in different agar mediums and incubated under controlled laboratory conditions. Bacterial identification was performed via colony morphology, staining and biochemical tests. Identified bacteria were subjected for antibiotic susceptibility test and hygiene practices data were also collected.

Results: Out of 50 samples, the prevalence of bacterial isolates was 70 with six distinct bacterial species identified. The mean bacterial count in ready-to-eat momo with soup was 4.8 X106 cfu/g and mean 4.2 X 106 cfu/g in crushed potato. Polymicrobial growth was observed in more than 62.0% of samples. Momo and Papaya contained the equally highest prevalent of bacterial isolates and Panipuri the least contaminated. Overall, the predominant organism was Staphylococcus aureus followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter species, and Escherichia coli. Most of the isolates were resistant to Amoxicillin whilst 3 isolates were multidrug resistant. On the other hand, Salmonella species and Acinetobacter species were sensitive to all the tested antibiotics. Also, there was a lack of hygiene practices with a dearth of basic equipment and infrastructure.

Conclusion: This indicates that prompt and periodic quality monitoring and bacteriological examination of ready-to-eat street foods of Kathmandu is utmost necessary.
Health Sciences Internship during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Problems of Peruvian Legislation
Authors: P. Fabian-Moya Sthefani
Published: January 2025

This review article aims to present the problems of Peruvian legislation, and a general view of the health sciences internship, thereby considering the importance of formulating a law or issuing guidelines that correctly define the rights and obligations, guaranteeing a protection for inmates. Furthermore, this problem represents the deficiencies and lack of decent conditions in the area of health and education. Under this perspective, thousands of Peruvian students raised their voices in various marches and protests demanding that the Ministry of Health (MINSA) guarantee the minimum safety conditions for a boarding school without precariousness with quality benefits, decent treatment considering life insurance and health, fair schedules with 6-hour days or 150 hours per month, personal protective equipment (PPE), food on duty, adequate academic training, a monthly stipend equivalent to a minimum vital remuneration, also putting a stop to to mistreatment and abuse. In addition, the validation of pre-professional practices as work experience. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 showed us the need to rely on interns to close the human resources gap. For this purpose, the legislative decrees, regulations, laws and educational models were reviewed. The method used was the analysis and synthesis of information from different academic sources and/or scientific articles, such as the systematic review of different national and international bibliographic sources. The reviewed scientific articles are indexed in reliable databases, such as Web of Science. (ESCI), Scielo Latindex and Scopus. Therefore, it is concluded that Health sciences inmates need the issuance of a law that protects them from many injustices and inequalities, recognizing their importance and need in the context of the Pandemic.
Artificial Intelligence at Public University in Central Mexico
Authors: García Lirios Cruz
Published: January 2025

Artificial Intelligence was the teaching and learning alternative in the context of the health crisis. The technology, devices and socio-digital networks that allowed the management, production and transfer of knowledge impacted the transition from the traditional to the virtual classroom. If the anti-pandemic policies of confinement and distancing led to the adoption of the virtual classroom, the platforms, repositories and digital libraries of higher education institutions were activated to support the transition. The objective of this work was to contrast and demonstrate the differences between the theoretical structure of artificial intelligence with respect to the observations made in this work. A documentary, cross-sectional and exploratory study was carried out with a sample of findings indexed to international repositories, considering the search by keywords in the period from 2020 to 2023. The results show the prevalence of three expectations: usefulness, ease and risk. In relation to the state of the art where stigma prevails as the central axis of mistrust between the authorities and users of the virtual classroom, the scope and limits of the study were discussed, as well as the corresponding recommendations were established. It is concluded that the evaluated literature reflects a scenario of contingencies and uncertainty as the health crisis intensifies or subsequent immunizations are performed.
