Течії думки ісламського світу в процесі модернізації
Authors: Алієва Міна
Published: November 2023

В історії людства були спроби реформ та інновацій у всі періоди відповідно до умов часу. Стикаючись із вимогами часу, суспільства змушені вносити певні зміни у свої правила, звичаї та традиції. Носії ісламської релігії, яка з’явилася на Аравійському півострові в VII столітті і на даний момент становить понад 25% населення планети, у свою чергу були змушені внести певні зміни, щоб йти в ногу з часом. Перші кроки в цьому були зроблені під час халіфату Омейядів і Аббасидів, в результаті чого відбулися зміни в основних принципах класичного ісламу, деякі доктрини повністю зникли або з'явилися нові доктрини. VII-IX століття можна охарактеризувати як період, коли ісламська цивілізація сяє найбільш активно і динамічно в світі. У цей період виникли розбіжності в поглядах на релігійні та юридичні питання, сформувалися нові секти та вірування. Також у цей період формуються школи суфізму, які включають релігійно-філософський і містичний світогляд.

Можна сказати, що доля ісламського світу пов'язана з ім'ям турків ще з Х століття. Прийняття ісламу турками стало важливим поворотним моментом у світовій історії. Турки-мусульмани взяли на себе функцію охоронців ісламської релігії, яка переживала неспокій, і з честю винесли цей важкий тягар до кінця. У 17-18 століттях разом з інноваціями в ісламському світі почали закладатися основи повернення до минулого. У цей період, після появи салафізмського руху в Аравії, ці типи груп з часом почали активізуватися. Носії таких ідей називали нововведення єрессю і відстоювали важливість повернення до ісламу, принесеного пророком. Коротше кажучи, оскільки ісламський світ пройшов через дуже бурхливу історичну ситуацію, йому доводилося демонструвати різні реакції в різних ситуаціях.
Матеріальна та культурна спадщина Карабаху за Середньовіччя
Authors: Гашимова Айнур
Published: November 2023

Карабах – одне з найдавніших поселень людей у світі. Сторожі Азих і Таглар, розташовані на території Карабаху, є територією проживання стародавніх людей. Цей регіон є резиденцією Кур-Аразской і Ходжали-Гедабейской культур, що існували в епоху бронзи і заліза творців культури Гуручай часів палеоліту. Територія Карабаху багата археологічними і наземними пам'ятками. Тут місто Барда, яке було засноване в давні часи на території Уті, набуло подальшого розвитку в середньовіччі та відобразило високу культуру містобудування. Так, інші міста Карабаху – Агдам, Тартар, Агдара, Кельбаджар, Ходжаванд, Шуша, Ханкенді, Фізулі, Джебраїл, Агджабеді, Лачин, Губадли, Зангілан, Джебраїл були побудовані в середні віки. У статті досліджено пам'ятники, будівлі, пам'ятники культури, побудовані в Карабасі, який є історичною територією Азербайджану в період середньовіччя. Крім археологічних пам'яток, на території Карабаху досліджено багато християнських пам'яток. Будівництво цих пам’яток почалося з раннього середньовіччя і тривало до пізніших етапів історії.

Об’єктом дослідження статті були християнські пам’ятники в Карабасі в період середньовіччя, а також будівництво тут ісламських пам’яток після арабської окупації, відмінні риси цих прикладів. Протягом всієї історії Вірменія намагалася заволодіти цими зразками культурної спадщини Азербайджану, вірменізувала їх і таким чином фальсифікувала пам'ятники Карабаху і проводила їх ремонт всупереч міжнародному праву, змінивши ряд орнаментів і зробивши їх своїми. У той же час в період Карабаського ханства будівельна архітектура Азербайджану досягла найвищого ступеня розвитку, а його культура розвивалася далі. У цей період відбулося будівництво стратегічно важливих фортець Баят, Шахбулаг і Шуша в Карабахському ханстві і перетворення Шуші в центр азербайджанської культури.

Автор дійшов висновку, що незважаючи на вірменізацію албанських пам’яток, наявність на них турецьких імен і приналежність деяких з них туркам-кипчакам неодноразово доведені. Після окупації азербайджанських земель вірмени, окрім фальсифікації албанських християнських пам’яток, знищували зразки мусульманської архітектури та тримали свиней у мечетях. Після перемоги у Другій Карабаській війні ці пам'ятки історичної архітектури були повернуті власникам, держава Азербайджан провела важливі реставраційні роботи в напрямку відновлення цих мечетей і будівель і отримала можливість охорони багатих прикладів матеріальної та культурної спадщини на міжнародному рівні.
Black Americans for Democracy як приклад афро-американської боротьби з дискримінацією за расовою ознакою на регіональному рівні США (1968-1978 рр.)
Authors: Казаков Геннадій
Published: November 2023

Метою статті визначено дослідити діяльність організації B.A.D., як прикладу регіональної афро-американської боротьби з дискримінацією за расовою ознакою.

Актуальність обумовлена потребою вивчення регіонального виміру антирасистського руху, адже саме з локальних перемог будувалось сучасне суспільство США.

Результати. Визначено, що Black Americans for Democracy виникла в межах Університету Арканзасу, як реакція на вбивство М.-Л. Кінга, адже існувала вірогідність посилення проявів расизму по всім Сполученим Штатам зі смертю одного з головних провідників афро-американського руху. Як результат, афро-американські студенти намагалися убезпечити здобутті права, зокрема на рівний доступ до освіти. Акцентування уваги на афро-американській студентській організації саме в межах Університету Арканзасу, обумовлене тим фактором, що поданий вищий навчальний заклад був одним з перших у США, хто десегрував навчальний процес. Водночас, до 70-х рр. ХХ ст., студенти афро-американці, зазнавали утисків з боку інших студентів та викладачів. Визначено два етапи діяльності Black Americans for Democracy: 1) період функціонування невеликого студентського угруповання, яке реагувало на ситуації; 2) період офіційної студентської організації, яка намагалася мінімізувати прояви расизму та продемонструвати рівність афро-американців щодо інших.

Висновки. Встановлено, що менш ніж за 10 років, організація зуміла створити осередок рівності та поваги в межах Університету Арканзасу, зокрема: в десятки разів збільшити кількість афро-американців у якості студентів, викладачів та адміністративного персоналу та домогтися афро-американцям провідні ролі у студентському самоврядуванні університету; подолати у більшій мірі прояви расизму на локальному рівні; відкрити афро-американську культуру іншим, підготувати проєкти для покращення умов життя афро-американців поза стінами університету. Сформульовані висновки щодо того, що приклад B.A.D. став свого роду прецедентом, що сприяв появі відповідних організацій в межах інших освітніх установ держави.

An Acute Metabolic Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-like Episodes Syndrome Patients with Hyperperfusion Responsive to Steroid Treatment
Authors: Song Kwanju , Yoon Myung Ki , Kim Kijeong , Ha Sang Hee , Kim Bum Joon
Published: November 2023

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a genetic disorder caused by mutation in mitochondrial DNA. Patients with stroke-like episodes show restrictive lesions in diffusion weighted image, whereas magnetic resonance angiography images show both vasodilation or vasoconstriction. Vasodilation may lead to hyperperfusion and cerebral edema, which may worsen clinical outcome. Here, we report a 25-year-old male patient diagnosed as MELAS, who presented with stroke-like episodes and seizures and showed cerebral edema with vasodilation which was normalized after steroid treatment.

Authors: Cho Ja Hyeon , Chung Hye-In , Yoon Byeol-A , Kim Dae-Hyun , Cha Jae-Kwan
Published: November 2023

Background: The importance of establishing a regional stroke safety net for the treatment of acute stroke is increasingly emphasized. In this study, we analyzed effectiveness of transferring the suspected acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients through the 1899-0215 hotline system from 119 ambulances and nearby hospitals.Methods: From July 2015 to July 2022, we analyzed data from 632 suspected acute stroke patients through the hotline. Furthermore, we investigated the proportion of patients in the target population who were eligible for reperfusion therapy and compared cases transferred by 119 emergency services (EMS) with those transferred from nearby hospitals.Results: Six hundred thirty-two suspected acute stroke patients were transferred to our stroke center through the 1899-0215 hotline system. The accuracy of diagnosing acute stroke among transferred patients is 81.0% for 119 EMS and 80.5% for cases transferred from nearby hospitals. Of the 200 patients transferred from hospitals, they were transferred from 47 nearby hospitals with an average transfer distance of 38.2 km and an average transfer time of 65 minutes. Among 291 patients diagnosed with AIS, The onset-to-door time was significantly shorter (p<0.01) for patients transferred by 119 EMS. The proportion of patients who received reperfusion therapy was significantly higher (p<0.01) for those transferred by 119 EMS.Conclusions: The hotline service will become a useful tool for establishing a regional stroke network in the Busan area, and its effectiveness will be particularly useful for 119 EMS. Measures are needed in the Busan metropolitan region to ensure the speediness of transferring acute stroke patients between hospitals.

In this paper, we present nomenclatural novelties required in the course of the preparation of the second, revised version of the checklist of vascular plants of Asian Russia. The first version was published in 2012 (Baikov 2012). At the family level, we accepted the modern classification systems (APG IV for flowering plants, PPG I for lycophytes and ferns, and GPG for gymnosperms). At the genus level, we follow the generic concepts applied for particular taxonomic groups according to the Catalogue of Life (COL; https://www.catalogueoflife.org/), version COL23.5. At the species level, we consistently apply the monotypic species concept (also known in Russia as Komarov’s concept). In total, this paper presents one new nothogenus name (× Sibirotrisetokoeleria Chepinoga nom. nov., Poaceae) and 156 new names in the rank of species, in 28 families: Amaranthaceae Juss. (1 name), Amaryllidaceae J. St.-Hil. (1), Apiaceae Lindl. (2), Asteraceae Bercht. & J.Presl (12), Boraginaceae Juss. (4), Caryophyllaceae Juss. (11), Crassulaceae J. St.-Hill. (3), Cyperaceae Juss.

All the People of Israel Are Friends: An Unknown Mid-Fifteenth Century Earthquake in the Marche Region (Central Italian Apennines) Recorded in a Coeval Hebrew Manuscript
Authors: Galli Paolo
Published: November 2023

Although the Italian seismic catalogs are considered among those with the best historical completeness, for periods prior to the Modern era they have gaps, often concentrated in limited regions. For example, Marche, a central Apennine region with high seismicity level, lacks any macroseismic observations throughout the entire fifteenth century. The chance discovery of a destructive earthquake summarized in a note written on a Hebrew prayer manuscript from 1446, not only helps us partially fill a gap in the seismic history of Italy but also prompts us to reflect on how much we still do not know about seismogenesis even in times covered by written sources.
Truth and the Metaphysics of Semantic and Logical Notions
Authors: Strollo Andrea
Published: November 2023

In contemporary philosophy, it is tempting to apply the metaphysics of properties to the specific case of truth, in the hope of making progress on the investigation of the latter. In this paper, I argue that a different approach, mostly independent from the metaphysics of properties and based on the naturalness, in Lewis’ sense, of semantic nations, is often a better alternative, both in general and in some specific cases. In particular, adopting the new perspective, I present a new problem of combining logical validity and strong truth pluralism, and offer a way to sharply distinguish deflationism and primitivism about truth. The main original upshot of the paper is offering a perspective on philosophy of truth that sheds new light on the general problem of truth and on some particular issues.
Truth-Deflationism and Truth-Theoretic Semantics: One Way to Make Them Clash
Authors: Båve Arvid
Published: November 2023

Deflationism about truth is often said to be incompatible with truth-theoretic semantics. However, both of these labels are ambiguous, making the truth of the incompatibility claim dependent on interpretation. I provide one pair of natural interpretations, on which both views relate essentially to grounding and on which they are indeed incompatible. This result has some intrinsic interest as well as paving the way for further needed clarifications in the debate about the relationship between the views.
Reducing non diagnostic thyroid cytology using on-site adequacy assessment performed by junior medical staff
Authors: Ren Tianchi , Lavender Ilona , Nandurkar Dee , Rorke Steuart , Ptasznik Ronnie
Published: November 2023

Objective:To assess efficacy of bedside cytology assessment of thyroid fine needle aspirate samples performed by junior medical staff compared to cytologists. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed of 1490 thyroid fine needle aspirates. Samples were divided into three groups: cellular adequacy assessment performed by cytologists, interns, and no onsite adequacy assessment (blind). A 45-minute training session was provided to medical interns with the aim of identifying whether adequate cellular material was demonstrated, as defined by the Bethesda criteria. The primary outcome was the rate of nondiagnostic samples, and the secondary outcome was the number of fine needle aspirate passes required to reach sample adequacy. Results: The incidence of non-diagnostic samples for the cytologist, blind, and intern groups were 6.90%, 17.1% and 14.0% respectively (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in non-diagnostic rate between the blind and intern groups. Significantly more aspirates required more than two passes in the cytologist group (74.8%) and blind (94.7%) compared to the intern group (58.7%, p<0.001). Conclusions: On-site adequacy assessment performed by cytopathologists is the gold standard for minimising non-diagnostic thyroid FNAs, however, medical staff with minimal anatomical pathology experience can be trained to perform on-site adequacy assessment and improve outcomes with the implementation of a simple targeted training program.

Published: November 2023

En este libro se analiza la implementación de los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (EVA) en la educación superior y la satisfacción de los estudiantes con el aprendizaje percibido mediante el uso de esta TIC. En primer lugar, se analizó el proceso de articulación de la tecnología en la formación, las características de este proceso y su influencia en los resultados de aprendizaje. También se realizó un análisis de las tendencias, los aportes y las problemáticas que presenta la implementación de las TIC en la educación. En segundo lugar, se identificaron las ventajas y las problemáticas del uso de los EVA en la educación superior, se compararon algunos de los EVA disponibles en el mercado con el propósito de identificar factores propios de cada plataforma que podrían conducir a mejores resultados de aprendizaje y se evaluó la calidad y las funcionalidades del entorno Moodle. Finalmente, a partir de un análisis mediante la técnica de sem, se analizaron los determinantes de la satisfacción con el uso de las TIC en los procesos de formación de los estudiantes de un programa de contaduría pública colombiano. Se concluye que los EVA han impactado en la pedagogía, generando soluciones a las necesidades de diversos estudiantes en múltiples momentos, lugares y situaciones de la vida que requieren de condiciones de acceso y flexibilidad, por lo menos para continuar sus procesos educativos bajo la guía de un docente con conocimientos no sólo en su área sino también en tecnología y pedagogía, con el objetivo de generar estructuras de aprendizaje para toda la vida.
Los enfoques de género e infancia en el ordenamiento territorial local desde una aproximación dogmática jurídica
Authors: Vásquez Santamaría Jorge Eduardo , Estrada Jaramillo Lina Marcela
Published: November 2023

En la escala local, el ordenamiento territorial es un ámbito que, a pesar de ampararse en la autonomía, está sujeto a determinantes jurídicos de categoría superior. Entre ellos, la gestión del riesgo de desastres, que recientemente amplía su reconocimiento en disposiciones sobre cambio climático. Entre ambos se gestan dos fuentes alternas sin las cuales la aplicación de los otros determinantes puede generar ineficacia: los enfoques diferenciales de género y de infancia. Este escrito se propone analizar el tratamiento que reciben ambos enfoques para su formalización en el ordenamiento territorial local, iniciativa que justamente es motivada por la gestión del riesgo de desastres y por el cambio climático. Inicialmente, se describe el panorama jurídico del ordenamiento territorial y de los determinantes para, posteriormente, triangular con los enfoques de género y de infancia (también promovidos por diferentes normas jurídicas) para finalmente concluir sobre sus posibilidades de aplicación en el ordenamiento territorial local.
ПРОБЛЕМИ РОЗВИТКУ ТРАНСПОРТНОЇ ЛОГІСТИКИ В УКРАЇНІ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: Шевченко Ірина , Клюс Ірина
Published: November 2023

У дослідженні розглянуто проблеми сучасного логістичного бізнесу в Україні, проведено паралелі з основними тенденціями, що були сформовані в світі на період коронавірусу, розглянуто основні напрями логістичних потоків та шляхи їх трансформації обумовлені загального міжнародної обстановкою. В дослідженні було визначено, що в світі почала складатися так звана стратегія локалізації логістичного бізнесу, орієнтована на скупчення виробництв, транспортних компаній та особливо споживачів переважно в одному регіону з метою уникнення ризиків відриву виробництва та неможливості задоволення потреб споживачів. Світ активно переходить від концепції «вчасної доставки» до «доставки на вимогу». Це ще один крок до загальносистемної стійкості та гнучкості. Можливо, в майбутньому більш радикальний перехід від товарів до послуг полегшить навантаження на ланцюги поставок. Але зараз знову стають актуальними дебати про різні форми співпраці, такі як ніашорінг, оншорінг і перенесення бізнес-процесів в інші регіони. Крім глобальних проблеми з’явилися й інші, такі як нестача рухомого складу, який переорієнтований на військові потреби, нестача персоналу, відторгнутого війною. Проте, окремі проблеми вдалося досить швидко вирішити: 70 річна проблема різниці залізничних колій, відновлення рухомого складу за рахунок допомоги західних партнерів та волонтерів, альтернативні маршрути постачання.
Таким чином, можна зазначити, що війна в Україні лише загострила ті проблеми, які назрівали в міжнародних логістичних перевезеннях протягом періоду коронавірусу. Проте, проведені дослідження показали, що український логістичний транспорт досить успішно вирішує й ці проблеми і проблеми передислокації складської мережі. Але такий підхід потребує розробки певного алгоритму узгоджених дій, що мають бути оптимізовані з урахуванням економного використання ресурсів. В подальшому вдосконалення запропонованого алгоритму можливо розглянути з точки зору оптимізації будь-яких ресурсів, що потрапляють в логістичний ланцюг, як матеріальних, фінансових, інформаційних, так і просторово-часових

Corporal Punishment as an Educational Practice for Burundian Children's Maladaptive Behavior: The Assessment of the Disposition of Children Education Stakeholders
Authors: Ladislas Gahungu
Published: November 2023

Our study aims to investigate the factors that produce and sustain the use of corporal punishment in education in Burundi. To collect data, we used a life story approach with semi-structured interviews and direct and indirect observation of educational actors. Analysis of the empirical corpus of 50 educational actors enabled us to highlight the social and educational experiences of our interviewees drawn from their childhood. Religious beliefs, the personality of the educators and psychic tensions linked to the general context are the main reasons for the use of corporal punishment. The majority of our interviewees, including teachers, support the use of corporal punishment, provided it does not exceed certain limits. Sensitivity to the effects of corporal punishment on children is generally low. It changes and rises to physical and economic effects, which arise when corporal punishment results in serious bodily harm, requiring prolonged hospitalization of the victim. For our respondents, not punishing children would be synonymous with cowardice, a violation of biblical scripture, with a high risk of exposing children to more dangerous consequences. Finally, to prevent and reduce the early onset of maladaptive behavior in children, the introduction of positive parenting programs is indispensable in Burundian education.
Using Efficient Planning for Achieving Course Learning Outcomes in EFL Classes at Taif University
Authors: Abdelaziz Ahmed Awwad Othman
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the efficiency and effectiveness of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in planning their lectures. The primary objective is to determine the extent to which teachers at the English Language Center (ELC) at Taif University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, successfully plan their lessons. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 26 teaching staff, consisting of 13 males and 13 females. The results of a t-test conducted at a significance level of 0.05 reveal that class or lesson planning plays a crucial role in facilitating effective language teaching and learning. Adequate planning enables teachers to make informed decisions about lesson principles and helps in achieving desired learning outcomes. In order to make informed decisions on the selection of topics, scenarios, methods, techniques, and procedures for their courses, educators are required to adopt a systematic approach. Educators have the potential to enhance the quality of their instructional sessions and optimize educational achievements among learners through the conscientious observance of these facets of lesson preparation. This study contributes to the existing literature on EFL teaching practices by providing insights for educators to improve their instructional planning strategies.

Overall, the findings emphasize the significance of thorough planning in EFL instruction and highlight its impact on successful teaching and learning experiences.

Path planning with obstacle avoidance for soft robots based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm
Authors: Liu Hongwei , Jiang Yang , Liu Manlu , Zhang Xinbin , Huo Jianwen , Su Haoxiang
Published: November 2023

Soft-bodied robots have the advantages of high flexibility and multiple degrees of freedom and have promising applications in exploring complex unstructured environments. Kinematic coupling exists for the soft robot in a problematic space environment for motion planning between the soft robot arm segments. In solving the soft robot inverse kinematics, there are only solutions or even no solutions, and soft robot obstacle avoidance control is tough to exist, as other problems. In this paper, we use the segmental constant curvature assumption to derive the positive and negative kinematic relationships and design the tip self-growth algorithm to reduce the difficulty of solving the parameters in the inverse kinematics of the soft robot to avoid kinematic coupling. Finally, by combining the improved particle swarm algorithm to optimize the paths, the convergence speed and reconciliation accuracy of the algorithm are further accelerated. The simulation results prove that the method can successfully move the soft robot in complex space with high computational efficiency and high accuracy, which verifies the effectiveness of the research.

online learning resources facilitate educational processes, enable time savings and contribute
to the sustainability of knowledge. In this sense, with digitization in education, students are
expected to be active participants in the educational process. Depending on the development
of technology and technological capabilities, the application of e-learning is being strengthened
in all countries worldwide, which means that online teaching is being implemented in the
educational system at all levels.
To effectively implement digitization in the educational process, it is crucial to develop digital
skills among students and educators. These skills include competencies for coding and software
creation, as well as the ability to effectively use digital devices, computers and the internet. By
acquiring these digital skills, individuals can fully utilize the benefits of digitization in
education and contribute to a more efficient and effective learning experience.
Recognizing this, the purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of digital
transformation in education at all levels, with a focus on digital transformation in higher
education, as it can enable more efficient use of resources and help the RN Macedonia keep up
with technological advancements, ultimately leading to a global competitive advantage. The
paper analyzes the process of digital transformation in higher education in Macedonia,
highlighting the importance of digital transformation through positive examples from several
leading countries in this process. Additionally, the paper addresses concerns that have arisen
as a result of the digital transformation of higher education, including digital learning models,
digital teaching, and the digital university model and provides suggestions for more effective
digital transformation in higher education.
ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD – attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and
ADD – attention deficit disorder (ADD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by
symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, and in the case of ADD it is attention
without hyperactivity, which contradicts the child's developmental level. With all the research
that is being done and that notes scientific knowledge, the picture of ADHD is changing and
there are more specific prognoses and treatments for ADHD. This syndrome includes an
increased motor activity in the child that is followed by a lack of attention and unpredictable
and impulsive reactions. It can appear in the second or third year, but it is usually diagnosed
when the child starts school. In the case when only the symptoms of a lack of attention are
observed in a child or an adult, and they are not followed by hyperactivity, then it is about ADD
(attention deficit disorder) - lack of attention. These people are withdrawn and lethargic, they
live in their own world, they are quite sensitive, and they are often accused of being lazy and
unmotivated, so they become anxious with low self-esteem (Ristevska, 2018). But many of
them are highly intelligent and thanks to their sensitivity and creativity, they can find
themselves in music, sports, art, and other areas that interest them.
The aim of this thesis is to present and analyze attention deficit and hyperactivity in ADHD
and ADD syndromes. These syndromes are one of the most common developmental problems
that appear in childhood and continue throughout life. ADHD and ADD syndromes are and
have been present in the past and continue to appear in more and more people, so there is a
need for more research related to the topic of attention deficit and hyperactivity in both
syndromes. Inclusion is becoming more frequent and present in people's lives, and ADHD and
ADD syndromes are one of the most prevalent problems today.
In this thesis, the history will be mentioned first and will be accompanied by explanations of
the terms ADHD and ADD. Then follows an explanation of the differences between the two
syndromes. The daily life of children with ADHD and ADD will also be mentioned. This thesis
would not be complete without explaining the different types of ADHD and ADD, but also
what factors contribute to the development of these syndromes. As the main goal of this thesis,
attention deficit and hyperactivity in ADHD and attention deficit in ADD will be addressed.
The characteristic signs of the disorder will also be mentioned. As the last but not least
important part of this thesis, a treatment will be offered on how the two syndromes are
diagnosed, the possible prevention, and the treatments that follow after the diagnosis of these
syndromes.

By conjugating a radioantigen (o-quinone) with a protein - Esherichia coli endotoxin, a stable polyantigen complex-protein-quinoid radioantigen (BChA) - o-quinone imine (C6H10O-NH - protein) was obtained, including haptenic (o-quinone) and protein part of the antigenic complex (Esherichia coli endotoxin). Using the above components (hyperimmune antiradiotoxic serum, ethanol extract of the Vita-Force apiphitopreparation, metabolic products of Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bacillus subtilis and a highly dispersed fraction of bentonite), a polyfunctional composition «Polyapisogen» was compiled, including polyglobulins (500 cm3 per 1 L),500 cm3 of 4% ethanol extract of the Vita-Force apiphitopreparation, in which a highly dispersed fraction of bentonite (20 g), metabolism products (2 g powder) and Bacillus subtilis metabolism products (4 g) are dissolved. The polyfunctional preparation obtained by the above-described technology is used as an activator of the immune system against the background of its imbalance induced by agents of a radiogenic nature. It was found that a single subcutaneous injection of the drug at a dose of 25 mg / kg of live weight (dry matter basis) had a radioprotective effect increasing the survival rate of affected animals upto 75%. The studies carried out can serve as a basis for the creation of polyfunctional radioprotective, immunoprotective and bioprotective agents not only for isolated, but also for combined lesions of the body by agents of radiogenic and non-radiogenic nature using polyglobulins, convalescent serums, bee products, metabolic products of probiotic microorganisms and mineral sorbents.

Due to the low content, few studies are focused on the volatile compounds of Phlomoides rotata (Benth. ex Hook. f.) Mathiesen (PR, syn. Lamiophlomis rotata (Benth.) Kudô). However, such volatile compounds may have important pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer. In order to identify the chemical markers (CMs) in the essential oils (Es) and explore the potential bioactivities, we first conduct a thoroughly investigation on the volatile compounds and evaluate their anti-oxidant activities (AOAs), to the best of our knowledge. Light yellow Es with a fresh and elegant smell are obtained by hydro-distillation with an average yield of 0.11% (mL/g). After separation through cryoprecipitation, the crystals (Cs) and EOs removed crystals (RCs) were gotten, respectively. A total of 81 components are qualified and quantified in the Es, Cs and RCs, in which 44 ones are first reported from PR. As for content, the main compounds are long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) and their esters. Among them, palmitic acid (PA), myristic acid (MA), linoleic acid (LA), oleic acid (OA) and methyl palmitate are highlighted, Besides, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone and phytol are also prominent Four kinds of C13-norisoprenoids are first reported from PR, in which, trans-β-damascenone is potent in flavour. In sum, these eight representative compounds can be chosen as the CMs. The AOAs of Es, Cs, RCs and four CMs such as PA, MA, LA and OA are evaluated by in vitro assays. In general, PA and MA present pro-oxidant activities (POAs) or weak AOAs. LA and OA show POAs or weak AOAs in lower concentration group, whereas demonstrate medium or strong AOAs in higher concentration group. Usually, the RCs demonstrate stronger AOAs and the Cs present weaker AOAs compared with those of the corresponding Es, which should be related to their different content of PA. This study can give some hints on the utilization of such Es which are abundant in LCFAs.

Viral infection activates the transcription factors IRF3 and NF-κB, which synergistically induce type I interferons (IFNs). Here, we identify the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF138 as an important negative regulator of virus-triggered IRF3 activation and IFN-β induction. Overexpression of RNF138 inhibited virus-induced activation of IRF3 and transcription of the IFNB1 gene, whereas knockout of RNF138 promoted virus-induced activation of IRF3, and transcription of the IFNB1 gene. We further found that RNF138 promotes ubiquitination of PTEN and subsequently inhibits PTEN interactions with IRF3, which is essential for PTEN-mediated nuclear translocation of IRF3, thereby inhibiting IRF3 import into the nucleus. Our findings suggest that RNF138 negatively regulates virus-triggered signaling by inhibiting the interaction of PTEN with IRF3, and these data provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of cellular antiviral responses.
mRNA Vaccines: A Prospective Analysis of Long-term, Multi-target, and Autoimmune Disorders
Authors: Niazi Sarfaraz K.
Published: November 2023

The new class of mRNA vaccines is studied extensively, leading to many novel prospects based on the pivotal success of vaccines against the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Many novel mechanisms of immune response discovered have led to the possibility of mutation-resistant vaccines by combining multiple conserved epitopes as antigens to manipulate the T-cell and B-cell responses; these antigens can also come from different organisms, providing protection against numerous diseases and of most tremendous significance is the utility of mRNA vaccines in preventing and treating more than 100 autoimmune disorders. This is a significant humanitarian breakthrough given the ease and faster and low cost of mRNA vaccines, being a chemical entity. This paper provides a prospective analysis of mRNA vaccines with much broader applications than anticipated when these vaccines entered treating SARS-Cov-2 infections.

Published: November 2023

Few clinical factors can help predict spontaneous culture conversion (SCC) in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex-pulmonary disease (MAC-PD). We retrospectively classified 373 MPD patients who had undergone watchful waiting without antibiotics according to the so-called ‘body mass index (BMI), age, cavity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and sex (BACES)’ severity. We evaluated whether lower severity is associated with a higher rate of SCC. Of 373 patients, 153 (41%) achieved SCC without antibiotics during a median follow-up of 48.1 months. There was a trend toward a higher SCC rate in patients with lower BACES severity: 48% (87/183), 37% (58/157), and 24% (8/33) in the mild, moderate, and severe BACES groups, respectively. In addition, a favorable outcome, defined as maintaining SCC or having two consecutive negative sputum cultures until the last follow-up date, was also more common in patients with lower BACES severity with 53% (97/183), 34% (54/157), and 18% (6/33) in the mild, moderate, and severe BACES groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, moderate (hazard ratio [HR]=0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44 – 0.91; p = 0.013) and severe BACES (HR 0.37; 95% CI 0.16 – 0.90; p = 0.028) had a significantly negative impact on favorable outcomes compared to mild BACES. Lower BACES severity may be associated with SCC in MAC-PD patients.

Probiotics are suggested to improve pig health, nutrient utilisation, performance, and may reduce nitrogen (N) pollution. However, the effectivity of a single-strain might be different from a multi-strain. The study was conducted to investigate the effect of a novel Bacillus multi-strain on nutrient digestibility, energy utilisation, and N retention in weaned piglets. The experiment consisted of a control diet (CD) and a supplemented diet (SD). The probiotic used for SD consisted of B. amyloliquefaciens - 516 and B. subtilis - 541. A total of 8 boars/ treatment were weaned (day 0; 8.5 kg bodyweight). Until day 10, piglets were fed ad libitum and were housed in pairs; from day 11, piglets were fed semi ad libitum and were housed individually. From day 14, faecal and urine were collected twice daily. Piglets were humanely euthanised at day 19 (15.0 kg bodyweight) after which the jejunum, ileum, and colon content were collected. In faeces the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of, amongst others, DM, organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), and subsequently net energy (NE) were calculated using titanium dioxide as an indigestible marker. In jejunum and ileum, the apparent digestibility of CP was estimated and in ileum the apparent AA digestibility. In urine, N content was measured to determine N retention. The volatile fatty acid (VFA), branched-chain fatty acid (BCFA), and lactic acid content were analysed in colon and faeces. Apparent CP digestibility in jejunum and ileum were not affected by treatment (P>0.05) and no effect was observed on apparent ileal digestibility of AA (P>0.05). Supplementation with the multi-strain probiotic improved ATTD of DM (P=0.01; +1.3%) and OM (P=0.02; +1.2%) and tended to improved ATTD of CP (P=0.10; +2.2%) and NSP (P=0.07; +1.9%). The multi-strain probiotic also improved the NE value (P=0.02; +0.2 MJ/kg DM) and improved N retention (P=0.05; +1.6%). Supplementation did not influence VFA, BCFA, and lactic acid content in the faeces (P>0.05). However, in colon, supplementation did influence lactic acid content (lower; P=0.01) and tended to influence valeric acid content (higher; P=0.09). In conclusion, results from the current study suggests that the multi-strain probiotic has the potential to contribute to improve nutrient efficiency in weaned piglets. More research needs to be done to identify the impact of the improved nutrient utilization on gut health in post-weaned pigs as well as environmental pollution.
