Published: December 2021

The recognition of visual shape in monkeys depends on a multi-layer pathway from primary visual cortex to lower temporal cortex. Visual stimulation is received by retina and then projected to the primary visual cortex VI region through lateral geniculate nucleus. There are a large
number of neurons activated by linear stimulation such as short side and line segment. This paper mainly studies the ultrastructural observation of axon complex of epithelial cells after nerve implantation in monkey nerve loss fingers. Through the ultrastructural view of epithelial axon complex,
we can master the changes of nerve regeneration function to skin cells and solve the problems caused by nerve defects, this paper mainly studies the method of nerve implantation, uses the neural interface model and the algorithm of nerve electrode, and compares the experiment with the monkey
without nerve implantation, and then observe the synaptic ultrastructure under the electron microscope after the experiment to find that nerve implantation can promote the skin sensory organs. The results showed that the repair of sensory cells was faster than that of the skin sensory cells
after nerve implantation in the ultrastructures of epithelial axon complex after nerve implantation in monkeys. 90% of the cells implanted with nerve were very fast to repair, which could provide useful information for the study of peripheral nerve regeneration in the nervous system. Nerve
implantation regeneration has been a medical research the research focus of the topic,medical researchers hope to find an effective method of nerve implantation for skin cell repir.

We aimed to explore the distribution of common pathogens and bacterial resistance in our hospital from 2017 to 2020, and to standardize clinical medication guidance. The pathogens isolated from the submitted specimens were identified, and drug susceptibility results were interpreted
according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (2017-2020). A total of 43,588 specimens were collected from patients treatedfrom 2017 to 2020, and 6,285 strains of pathogens were isolated. The most common pathogens were Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae and
Klebsiella pneumoniae.Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounted for 32.85%, and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) accounted for 78.79%. The resistance rates of MRSA and MRCNS to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, erythromycin, clindamycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
were significantly higher than those of methicillin-sensitive S. aureus and methicillin-sensitive coagulase-negative Staphylococcus. The resistance rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae to erythromycin, tetracycline and clindamycin was higher than 80%. The detection rates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae
producing ESBL strains were 62.2% and 25.6%, respectively. Totally, 769 carbapenem-resistant strains were detected, of which carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) accounted for 66.6%, followed by carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(CRPA). A total of 202 CRE strains were detected, which were mainly isolated from respiratory tract and urine specimens. CRAB, CRKP and CRPA had higher resistance rates to antibacterial drugs. Gram-negative bacilli are the most common pathogens from 2017 to 2020. Considering that pathogens
have high drug resistance, it is recommended to strengthen clinical management and rational application of antibiotics, thus reducing the risk of nosocomial infections.

Authors: Vu Thai Giang , Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan , Nguyen Ba Hoan , Bui Minh Duc
Published: December 2021

In Hanoi, many roads are congested during rush hour. When going through congested roads, the movement of vehicles is very slow. As a result, traveling over a short and congested road may take more time than traveling over a longer and uncongested road. Therefore, in this paper, we study the problem of finding optimal bus routes that take less time, considering the traffic jams. We extend Dijkstra's algorithm to compute waiting time at bus stations and traveling time of buses. The experimental results show that our algorithm is suitable.

Using marine-derived fungi as a source of lipid production holds promise as an alternative to industrial lipid production for health and nutrition in the future. In the present study, this strain showed a high production of lipid, about plus 80% of the total lipids in the host-derived medium. Gas chromatography analysis of fungal lipids revealed the presence of saturated (mainly palmitic acid C16: 0 and stearic acid C18: 0) and unsaturated fatty acid (mainly linoleic acid C18: 2, oleic acid C18: 1). These findings suggest this marine-derived fungus is a promising source for lipid production in various industrial applications. In particular, a fraction containing glycolipids of the crude extract exhibited potential cytotoxic activity on human oral epidermal carcinoma cell lines. This result is very interesting to further isolate and determine the molecular structure of bioactive glycolipids.

Dyslipidemia characteristics of outpatients with dyslipidemia for the first time, characteristics of drug use, and effectiveness in controlling dyslipidemia indexes after 3 months of treatment at Military Hospital 105 were studied. A crosssectional, retrospective descriptive study was investigated on adult outpatients who were diagnosed with dyslipidemia for the first time, examined and treated as outpatients at the hospital, and monitored for effectiveness in blood lipid control for 3 months after starting treatment. The decision to use the drug at the start of the study and the achievement of treatment goals at the time points were analyzed based on the ESC\EAS 2019 guidelines for treating DL. The majority of patients were aged > 45 years (80.5%), the most common group of patients was aged 46 - 59 (43.7%). The number of patients with comorbidities accounted for 62.8%. 87% of patients had mixed dyslipidemia, 54.8% of patients were in the group with high and very high cardiovascular risk. 93.5% of patients needed to start treatment with drugs based on LDL-C index at the time of treatment initiation. The majority of patients used monotherapy regimens, in which, Statins were used the most in the study sample with the rate of 95.3% in the initial treatment regimen. 70.4% of patients had an inappropriate decision to initiate treatment, of which the most common was the decision to use statins with insufficient dosage in patients (45.1%). Only 28% of patients reached their LDL-C goal after 3 months of treatment. From the high percentage of patients who did not reach the treatment goal in the study sample, it is necessary to consider using stronger statin therapy, higher dose statin, or using another treatment regimen for patients.

Bacterial persistence has been reported to play critical roles in endodontic treatment failure, which attribute to deficient root canal filling and inadequate chemomechanical preparation. The persistence of bacteria to the different eradication approaches during endodontic treatment has been an area of interest in the field of dentistry due to the different roles by which these bacteria might impact endodontic treatment and can even lead to treatment failure. The present investigation provides evidence regarding the persistence of bacteria and its role in the failure of endodontic treatment. At first, we provided an overview of the potential role that bacterial infections might play in endodontic treatment and how the outcomes can be potentially impacted. Then, we discussed the virulence factors that help the different organisms to persist against the different eradication approaches, which can finally lead to the development of endodontic treatment failure. Our findings show that E. faecalis is the most prevalent bacteria causing endodontic treatment failure. However, many studies have reported that other bacteria and pathogens might also be prevalent and exceed the rate of E. faecalis. This indicates the importance of detecting appropriate biofilms to adequately eradicate the underlying pathogens and enhance the treatment and prognostic outcomes.

Published: December 2021

Progressive deterioration is a problem that affects road infrastructure, especially bridges. This requires the development of methods for its adequate detection and revision, one of them being load testing. Within load testing, finite element analysis (FEA) models provide initial information to understand the behavior of a structure and plan accordingly, which represents a fundamental step towards a precise structural evaluation of a bridge. This study focused on the modeling and analysis of the static response of the bridge over the river Lili in Cali, Colombia, a prestressed girder bridge programmed to undergo a diagnostic load test. A linear FEA model was created with information from a manual survey and from other bridges’ plans designed and built under the regulations in force at the time. Due to the absence of plans and design specifications for the bridge, variations were applied to certain model parameters (stiffness of diaphragms and elastomeric bearings), to quantify their effect on the overall behavior of the bridge. The analysis included obtaining the critical position for the design vehicles, the transversal distribution of stresses and determining the influence of the variation parameters in the response of the structure. Results showed that the critical combinations for bending moment and shear were when the loads were the closest to the exterior girders, being these elements the most affected. The variation on the modulus of elasticity for the diaphragms and the stiffness of the elastomeric bearings did not significantly influence the results for bending moment and shear, nor the critical position. Girder distribution factors (GDF) from the model were compared to previous research, finding similarities in shape and value with other FEA models and experimental results. Finally, an instrumentation plan focused on the girders of the bridge was proposed based on the zones where the maximum effects are expected. The findings in this study show how linear FEA models provide initial but relevant information regarding the critical position of design vehicles, the distribution of stresses and the expected values for bending moment and shear under design loads.

The Issue of Urban Transport Planning in Saudi Arabia: Concepts and Future Challenges
Authors: Almatar Khalid Mohammed , Almulhim Abdulaziz I.
Published: December 2021

Sustainable mobility is a growing field that allows researchers to pay attention to the problem of public transit and its constraints. In spite of this, many developing countries often overlook this aspect of the question and focus on monetary issues instead. This causes an imbalance between a variety of sources of impact, such as the local economy, environmental problems, and even social interactions. The case of Riyadh, one of the essential transports and financial arteries of Saudi Arabia, was important because it showed that the city administration is yet to invest more resources in the existing Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and improve other non-quantifiable factors. The method applied for this research was a detailed review of the current plan that was completed in an attempt to highlight the biggest weaknesses and identify the opportunities to capitalize the future local transport planning. It was proposed to implement the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) method and formulate clearer objectives regarding how metro and bus stations should be located and maintained in order to make it easier for the citizens of Riyadh to reach all necessary destinations. A renewed framework is proposed to help the city administration cope with the increasing agglomeration and unemployment rates.

Published: December 2021

The border area of Indonesia - Papua New Guinea is one of the border areas of Indonesia which has complex characteristics. Apart from differences in geographical conditions, this border region also has characteristics of customary territories that are not owned by other border areas in Indonesia. This complexity causes high variations in the performance of regional or district development in the RI-PNG border area. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of sustainable regional development through the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Methods for Enrichment Evaluation) method. The results of the analysis show that areas that tend to be open with access to other areas in Indonesia such as Merauke and Jayapura tend to have better performance than other border areas. These results can be used as lessons learned in sustainable regional development planning in other border areas.
Addressing Russian Threat. Changes to Defence Policies of the Nordic States After 2014
Authors: Śliwa Zdzisław , Cieślak Eugeniusz
Published: December 2021

The substantial deterioration of the security environment after Russian aggression against Ukraine and the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 was a catalyst for significant changes in the Nordic states’ approach to security and defence. Common perceptions of the Russian threat focused defence policies of the Nordic states around rebuilding total defence capabilities, which would combine military and civilian efforts. Besides these efforts to reinforce national capacity to defend against an armed attack, the Nordic states increased regional security and defence cooperation, along with cooperation with NATO, the EU and the United States. The article explores the developments in defence policies of the Nordic states that were a result of changes in the security environment caused by Russian aggression against Ukraine and the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014. It tries to discuss differences in national threat assessment, and then compare and contrast unique national approaches to defence policies that were adopted by the Nordic states. The conclusion conceptualizes unique features of the Nordic approach to defence stemming from the common threat to their security.

Authors: Padilla-Cortes Erika , Martínez-Martínez Laura
Published: December 2021

The use of artificial diets for rearing natural enemies is an expensive technique with negative implications in the development of parasitoids. The aim of this study was to determine the effects on the development of the parasitoid Chelonus insularis Cresson (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) using as the host Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae reared on castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) leaves. Twenty-five egg masses of S. frugiperda were exposed to adult parasitoids of C. insularis. One hundred twenty-three larvae were fed with castor bean leaves and 309 larvae with maize. Survival of S. frugiperda larvae and emergence of healthy adults of C. insularis were recorded. Durations of the developmental stages, weight per parasitoid, length of the radial cell, and total length of the forewing also were recorded. No significant differences were determined between the two host plants with respect to survival of S. frugiperda larvae or the emergence of healthy adults of C. insularis. Durations of the developmental stages of the parasitoid were longer on castor bean leaves than on maize. The length of the radial cell and the total length of the forewing were greater on parasitoids that emerged from castor bean-reared larvae than those reared on maize for both females and males. The weight per parasitoid did not differ. Chelonus insularis can be maintained in S. frugiperda larvae reared on castor and maize leaves but, based on these results, the use of castor bean leaves favors the size of the parasitoid.

Published: December 2021

Student engagement is critical in online learning because it makes students feel more satisfied and motivated to learn. This study investigated how university students perceive various engagement tactics employed in online courses during the Covid 19 pandemic. Student engagement was measured using Moore's interaction framework. It implemented non-experimental quantitative research design through a survey with descriptive and causal-comparative approaches. A 29-item survey on learner-to-learner, learner-to-instructor, and learner-to-content engagement strategies was completed by 181 students from School of Engineering at Universiti Teknologi MARA. The students considered learner-to-content interactions to be the most engaging technique, according to the research. Learner-to-instructor interactions were the next most engaging method, while learner-to-learner interactions were the least engaging. Additionally, the most engaging technique is for them to search for and select appropriate materials in the learner-to-content category depending on their interests. Working jointly using online communication technologies to accomplish case studies, projects, or reports was deemed the most interesting technique by students in the learner-to-learner category. In the learner-to-instructor category, an email reminder or periodical notification is likewise regarded as the most engaging method. All three engagement mechanisms were shown to be interrelated, with learner-to-learner interactions heavily influencing learner-to-learner interactions. Mechanical engineering students were shown to be better at perceiving and implementing these tactics than students from the colleges of electrical, chemical, and civil engineering. It is believed that the findings of the present study will assist teachers and lecturers in increasing their participation in online courses.

In recent years, the world has witnessed many changes in international economic relations, and the global system has crystallized into major economic blocs aimed at strengthening the position of these blocs in the framework of global international trade and economic stability. Accordingly, the research aims to study the impact of the accession of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the membership of some economic blocs on Saudi agricultural foreign trade during the time period (1995-2019). By depend on both descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis. To study the evolution of the value of agricultural exports and imports and the most important factors affecting each of them, used of some indicators of export competitiveness such as a measure of geographical and commodity concentration. Also used the simultaneous equations method to build an econometric model to analyze the structure of agricultural foreign trade and its estimation by Two-Stage least squares (2SLS) method, the paper predicts the future of Saudi agricultural foreign trade. The research relied on secondary data. The results of the study expect that the average per capita share of agricultural exports, imports and agricultural Balance Deficit will reach about 600, 3.600 and 2.900 thousand riyals, respectively, during the year 2026.

The intensifying integration processes between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan update creation of databases and development of regression models that allow determining the body length by individual bones in representatives of both genders of this ethnic group.

The aim of the study was to verify application of regression equations to determine the body length in Tajik children and adolescents, aged 6–17, according to the linear parameters of the short tubular bones of the hand.

Material and methods. There were performed osteometric studies of 251 X-ray images of the right hand to determine the body length of the examined individuals. Linear regression analysis was carried out to identify dependence of the body length on linear parameters of the short tubular bones of the hand. The quality of the regression was assessed through the coefficient of determination R2 and significance by the F-criterion. There were considered coefficients of determination higher than 0.8.

Results. It was found that for boys the linear parameter of the length of the tubular bones of the hand was the best to predict the body length. When applying regression equations to determine the body length according to the length of the hand rays in boys, it was determined that the best results were obtained when applying a model developed for the bones of the 2nd and 4th hand rays. For Tajik girls, regression models that included parameters of the length and width of the tubular bones of the hand were more reliable. More reliable results for identifying the body length of Tajik children were obtained when regression models were developed separately for individuals of different genders.

Conclusion. The results obtained demonstrated that osteometric parameters of the short tubular bones of the hand can be used to assess the body length of Tajik children and adolescents of both genders.

Law and Social Justice in the B.A. Kistyakovskiy`s Doctrine
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law of the Institute of Law and National Security of the Derzhavin Tambov State University PhD (Law), Lapaeva Angelina V.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the views of the representative of the Russian sociological school of law, a supporter of the ideas of the right state and civil society B. A. Kistyakovsky on the problem of law and social justice. It is established that social justice, according to the scientist, could not exist outside of a legal society with a developed legal culture, values and freedom of choice. It is doctrinally justified that the true existence of law in the concept of B. A. Kistyakovsky was not in formal normativism, but in the consciousness of the whole society, which influenced the knowledge of law as a social phenomenon, the so-called «just law».

Authors: ERWA Ibrahim Yaagoub , ISHAG Omer , ALREFAEİ Omar , HASSAN Issa
Published: December 2021

Adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics of methylene blue dye (MB) from aqueous solutions onto activated carbon (AC) synthesized from pomegranate peel was conducted in controlled batch systems. The effects of initial MB concentration, AC particle size, contact time, and temperature on adsorption were evaluated. Under the optimized conditions (i.e., contact time 120 min, pH ∼ 5, particle size 125 µm, dye concentration 20 mg/L, temperature 333 K, and 0.5 g AC/50 mL MB solution), the removal percentages can achieve ∼ 98.28%. The nonlinear method was conducted for estimating the equilibrium and kinetic parameters, where the equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The Langmuir isotherm suggested a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 5.03 mg/g at 60 °C. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the best fit to the experimental data compared with the pseudo-first-order. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption equilibrium was rapidly established, with low activation energy entailed for adsorption (Ea; 15.60 kJ/mol). Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption was spontaneous (−∆G° and +∆S°), exothermic (+∆H°), and favorable at ambient conditions.

Published: December 2021

In Romania, the management of public utility services is organized and performed in the following forms: direct management or indirect management or delegated management. In this article we have chosen as a model the public sanitation service in the commune of Bosanci and we want to highlight what is the best way to optimize this service, in direct management or delegated management. The public sanitation service in Bosanci is a public service that has been provided over time through both forms of management. The inhabitants of Bosanci were provided with the sanitation service both in direct management and in delegated management, respectively until the end of 2018 in delegated management, and starting with 2019 in direct management, and in order to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each form we will present comparatively the way in which the domestic sanitation service was provided, which currently benefits 7400 inhabitants.
