The Lost King and the “Gut Feelings”: intuiciones y busca de la verdad en educación médica
Authors: González-Blasco Pablo , Moreto Graziela
Published: July 2024

Una película que se apoya en una historia real. La aventura de Philippa Langley en la busca de la verdad sobre la vida y la tumba de Ricardo III. Producción que requiere, al verla, observar y vivir la aventura de Philippa, en una experiencia casi fenomenológica. Pasar por el sentimiento de incapacidad, levantarse de nuevo aferrándose a una idea que va tomando forma, fundamentar la idea para entender que no es un capricho, dar paso a la intuición, en ese punto, ya fundamentada, calificada. El descrédito de los académicos que insisten en desanimarla -al final, se trata de intuiciones no de ciencia- tropiezan con una mujer firme y decidida, que mantiene el rumbo, avanza, reúne a la familia, que consigue entusiasmar con un proyecto basado en una intuición cualificada. La intuición cualificada es el recurso que utilizan los médicos veteranos para sus tomadas de decisiones, algo que actualmente se denomina: Gut Feelings. Esta intuición -corazonada, se podría denominar en español- reúne sentimientos que están relacionados con la experiencia del médico, asociada a sus conocimientos científicos y a su capacidad de escuchar al paciente. El componente afectivo del Gut Feelings complementa el razonamiento clínico y mejora la toma de decisiones médicas a través del equilibrio entre la experiencia del médico y el conocimiento de la evidencia médica. El Gut Feelings es un recurso eficaz, aunque parezca poco científico, porque no se puede demostrar. Ese es el motivo de que no se haga explícito, lo que sería de gran ayuda para los jóvenes que inician la carrera profesional de la medicina.

Authors: Aulia Latifah N. , Ambarwati Reni , Nurinsiyah Ayu Savitri
Published: July 2024

A fauna expedition has been conducted in Padang Bindu Karst, South Sumatra in 2021. Among the collected samples, a total of 111 specimens of Opisthostoma platycephalum (Caenogastropoda: Diplommatinidae) were collected from five sampling plots. This discovery is the first record of the land snail species in the southern of Sumatra island, as previous research only recognized its presence in Aceh, North Sumatra, and Peninsular Malaysia. This discovery contributes to the understanding of the biodiversity of South Sumatran land snails and highlights the importance of protecting limestone habitats.

3D Local Crime Type Models Based on Crime Hotspot Detection
Authors: Uglickich Evženie , Nagy Ivan
Published: July 2024

This paper deals with the analysis of the relationship between locations and types of crime observed in the Czech Republic. Cluster analysis of crime data based on the recursive Bayesian mixture estimation algorithm is used to identify crime hotspots and estimate local models of crime type. The experiments report that the 2D configuration of the algorithm allows the detection of crime hotspots online. The 3D configuration provides 29% more accurate crime type models than 2D clustering and alternative data mining algorithms. For the data set used, it was determined in which crime hotspots the most serious and most frequent types of crime can be expected to occur with the highest probability. The limitation of the study is the artificial support of the 3D clusters by the fully continuous data vector with the recoded values of the crime type. The potential use of the algorithm is expected in online web applications for sharing information on criminal offenses managed by the Police of the Czech Republic with the public and local government entities in the Czech Republic.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), responsible for extracellular matrix remodelling and processing of numerous soluble and cell-surface proteins, appear to play important roles in pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases. MMPs influence migration of inflammatory cells, mucosal destruction, matrix deposition and degradation. In this study, we analysed the expression of MMP-19 in the main forms of gastrointestinal diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and colorectal carcinoma. We identified prominent MMP-19 expression in unaffected areas of intestinal epithelia and macrophages but not in other cells or tissues. Abundant expression of MMP-19 was also found in the endothelium of blood and lymphatic vessels of inflamed intestinal tissue. High MMP-19 immunoreactivity was also associated with macrophages in inflamed areas and myenteric plexuses. In comparison to the intestinal epithelium, all these cell types and compartments appeared to express MMP-19 irrespective of the disease pathogenesis and progression. Intestinal epithelia exhibited striking differential immunoreactivity for MMP-19. While immunoreactivity of monoclonal antibody recognizing the propeptide domain declined in virtually all IBD and colorectal carcinoma samples, other polyclonal antibodies against the hinge region and propetide domain did not show such an obvious decrease. Additional Western blotting analysis revealed that the antibodies against MMP-19 recognize differently processed forms of this MMP. The disappearance of immunoreactivity of the monoclonal anti-propeptide domain antibody does not mean down-regulation of MMP-19, but processing of the immature form. As this processing likely leads to the activation of this MMP, the differential staining pattern may be an important sign of disease progression.
Instytucja przestępstwa wojskowego w świetle uregulowań polskich kodyfikacji karno-wojskowych XX wieku – analiza historyczno-prawna
Authors: Ziółkowska Agata
Published: July 2024

W artykule pokazano, jak na przestrzeni lat (zarówno w odrębnych kodeksach karno-wojskowych, jak i w części wojskowej powszechnego kodeksu karnego z 1969 r.) ustawodawca dekretował pojęcie przestępstwa wojskowego. Rozważania te można potraktować jako rodzaj historycznoprawnego uzasadnienia konieczności wprowadzenia do systemu prawa karnego sensu largo (np. poprzez nowelizację przepisów obowiązującego kodeksu karnego z 1997 r.) normatywnej definicji przestępstwa wojskowego. Choć instytucja przestępstwa wojskowego nie jest synonimem instytucji przestępstwa (współcześnie określanego także mianem przestępstwa powszechnego), to nie wynika to wprost z postanowień kodeksowych, a jedynie z wykładni dokonanej na tej płaszczyźnie, co zostało poddane krytyce.
Wzorce sowieckie w prawie polskim po 1944 r. Zagadnienia wybrane
Authors: Lityński Adam
Published: July 2024

W artykule przedstawiono sytuację w Polsce po 1945 r., kiedy w wyniku umowy Wielkiej Trójki (Roosevelta, Churchilla, Stalina) w Jałcie na Krymie (luty 1945 r.) Europa Środkowo-Wschodnia została oddana Stalinowi. Stalin obiecał wolne wybory, ale mimo że początkowo dla pozoru obowiązywało (niekomunistyczne) przedwojenne prawo polskie, to ze Związku Socjalistycznych Republik Radzieckich napływały do Polski nowe wzorce, które mieli wprowadzać komuniści. Sądy uzależniono od panującej partii komunistycznej. Na sędziów powoływano ludzi bez wykształcenia prawniczego, którzy mieli wykonywać polecenia partii komunistycznej. Podobnie było z prokuratorami. Prowadzono śledztwa, stosowano tortury, sądzono ludzi tajnie, zwłaszcza w sprawach politycznych. Zadaniem sądów było wówczas stosowanie represji, a nie wymierzanie sprawiedliwości.

Will Geopolitics Accelerate China’s Drive Towards De-Dollarization?
Authors: Ryan John M. T.
Published: July 2024

The war in Europe has not only re-drawn strategic lines and trade flows, but with complex sanctions in place, may also have a lasting impact on currency regimes. Beyond the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a different, slower but still more strategic shift is taking place in relations between the United States and China. The US is not seeking a full decoupling of trade between China and the US and its allies – there are many deep dependencies on both sides and, overall, trade continues to grow. China, on the other hand has been casting its political and economic capital into strategic alliances that include notions of a new currency regime – in parts because of the sanctions imposed by the G7 alliance. The question for this paper therefore is whether it is still a question of if de-dollarisation is happening or rather how fast.
Kinetic and thermodynamic approach to precisely solve the unsteady Rayleigh flow problem of a rarefied homogeneous charged gas under external force influence
Authors: Abdel Wahid Taha Zakaraia , Alaofi Zaki Mrzog
Published: July 2024

An extension and further development of our previous article [J. Non-equilibrium Thermodyne. 37 (2012), 119–141] is presented. We study the irreversible non-equilibrium thermodynamics (INT) properties of the exact solution to the dilute homogeneously charged gas problem with unsteady Rayleigh flow. In contrast to previous research, the charged gas flows under the influence of an external force, the flat plate oscillates, and the displacement current term is considered, leading to significant advancements in understanding natural plasma dynamics. We are solving the Boltzmann kinetic equation (BKE) Krook model supplemented by Maxwell’s equations. We used a travelling wave and moments method with an electron velocity distribution function (EVDF). To the best of our knowledge, as three new scientific achievements, we introduced a new mathematical model for calculating the thermodynamic forces, kinetic coefficients, and fluxes variables, Equations (28–40) and (50–54). Second, we determined, with reasonable accuracy, the thermodynamic equilibrium time of electrons, t
equ = 26.7955, under an external force. We clarify the difference between equilibrium EVDF and perturbed EVDF and take advantage of BKE to account for non-equilibrium thermodynamic principles. For diamagnetic and paramagnetic plasmas, the extended Gibbs equation predicts ratios between various contributions to the internal energy change (IEC) is presented. A standard laboratory argon plasma model is used to apply the results.

In this paper, we obtain some Korovkin type approximation theorems for double sequences of positive linear operators on two-dimensional weighted spaces via statistical type convergence method with respect to power series method. Additionally, we calculate the rate of convergence. As an application, we provide an approximation using the generalization of Gadjiev-Ibragimov operators for Pp
-statistical convergence. Our results are meaningful and stronger than those previously given for two-dimensional weighted spaces.
Entre ganado y minas. La región de Nuestra Señora de San Juan de los Lagos, siglos XVII y XVIII
Authors: López Padilla Omar
Published: July 2024

En este artículo analizo la conformación de la región devocional de Nuestra Señora de San Juan de los Lagos. En un primer momento, clarifico las diferencias en torno a las dos expresiones territoriales de la advocación en la época colonial: la región y la zona de influencia devocional. Luego, narro cómo el proceso de conquista y colonización permitió la articulación económica de una macrorregión minera y ganadera que, tras su primer milagro, adoptaría a la virgen de San Juan como su ícono devocional. Finalmente, muestro de qué manera el “carácter regional” fue decisivo en el devenir económico temprano de la advocación.
Assessment of the concentration of some heavy metals in bottom sediments in the coastal and island areas of the southern region, Vietnam
Authors: Duong Phung Thai , Nhung Pham Cam
Published: July 2024

Rivers, such as the Dong Nai, Saigon, and Mekong, are subject to urban, industrial, and agricultural pollution, leading to a high risk of heavy metal accumulation in bottom sediments. With the aid of a boat and bucket as tools, a survey was conducted to collect sediment samples from the coastal areas (downstream of Dong Nai, Saigon, Mekong Rivers) and islands (Con Dao, Tho Chu) in the Southern region of Vietnam during April and May 2023. Out of a total of 35 samples collected, preserved according to the guidelines of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the heavy metal indicators were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy, and the average heavy metal concentrations were in the following order: Zn>Cu>Cd>Pb>As. Compared with the Vietnamese Technical Regulation (QCVN 43:2017/BTNMT) on sediment quality and the sediment quality of the Canadian Environment Ministry, the heavy metal concentrations in the research area have not exceeded the specified standards. However, compared with standards from the USA, the Russian Federation, and other regions in Vietnam, the levels are quite high. Moreover, the Igeo index indicates that the concentration of Pb, As, and Cd at many coastal locations downstream of the rivers is heavily polluted. This evidences that in addition to pollution from upstream sources, the activities of the local population significantly contribute to the accumulation of pollution. The research results provide a scientific basis for limiting pollution sources to ensure sustainable development of the studied areas, which is necessary today.
Vertical electrical sounding method and Dar Zarrouk analysis to identify the distribution of seawater intrusion in Pelauw Village, Maluku

Published: July 2024

Groundwater is one of the essential resources that support human life. Excessive exploitation activities can cause groundwater problems such as seawater intrusion, especially in coastal areas. Groundwater salination must be a concern and measured to determine the condition and level of distribution. One of the non-invasive, inexpensive, and efficient methods to see seawater intrusion phenomena is the vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique of electrical resistivity method. This research aimed to analyze the distribution of seawater intrusion in Pelauw Village, Maluku, Indonesia, using the VES and Dar-Zarrouk parameters S and T. The S and T are longitudinal conductance and transversal resistance, respectively. This study collected 16 VES stations spread across residential areas near the coast of Pelauw Village. Groundwater affected by seawater intrusion in the study area has S>1.00 mho and T<1,000 ohm m2. Three VES stations are suspected to have experienced seawater intrusion, namely V7, V8 and V12. These three stations are located near the shoreline and densely populated areas. Based on the 2D cross-section, the spread of seawater intrusion toward the land is about 200 meters. This seawater intrusion event is thought to have occurred due to groundwater exploitation by communities around the coast and active tectonic activity. The VES method and Dar Zarrouk Analysis proved compelling enough to delineate the spread of seawater intrusion, so based on these results, it can be a reference for mitigating groundwater pollution.
Conditions of total coliform in the Aur River, Palembang City, South Sumatra, Indonesia
Authors: Matolisi Elizabet , Damiri Nurhayati , Imanudin Momon Sodik , Hasyim Hamzah
Published: July 2024

Pathogenic microorganisms present in river water pollution are a serious health risk. Escherichia coli is a pathogen commonly found in water. Escherichia coli is an indicator of water contaminated with feces. These pathogens have an impact on human health. Aur River is one of the tidal rivers in Palembang City. From the observations, many people dispose of domestic waste into river bodies, so the river is at risk of being polluted by pathogenic microorganisms. When it recedes, the water looks pitch black, and when it is high, many people bathe, brush their teeth, and wash their clothes in this river. Thus, this study aimed to monitor water quality, including total coliform, of the Aur River Palembang City. The results of this monitoring can be used as the basis for making a policy and strategy to control the quality of this river water. This study was carried out on the Aur River, which is 2.5 km long. Measurements were made at three stations, namely at the upstream, middle, and downstream. Based on measurements of the pH, BOD, COD, DO, and total coliform concentrations, it is concluded that the Aur River has been polluted because the BOD, COD, DO, and total coliform were above the quality standards. The pH is still at the quality standard.
Historyczne uwarunkowania wyborów politycznych dokonywanych przez Gruzinów od początku państwowości do końca XIX w.
Authors: Furier Andrzej ,   Uniwersytet Szczeciński
Published: July 2024

The paper presents the influence of cultural and social factors shaped in the past on Georgian politics. The impact of eastern and western cultural patterns and political models on Georgia from the beginning of statehood to World War I was analyzed. The importance of replacing Persian and Turkish influences with Russian ones in the 19th century was pointed out. From then on, rapprochement with the Christian state, which politically and culturally belonged to the West, was an opportunity for Georgians to rebuild contacts with the Western world.
Rational and Cooperative Strategies in an Arms Race. Conclusions from Empirical Research
Authors: Korkus Adrian ,   University of Lodz
Published: July 2024

Goal – this article describes a proposed model of arms race game and the results of its application in an experiment measuring the inclination of human players to participate in a non-productive competition such as an arms race. Research methodology – methods in this research include: designing a game of an arms race based on a prisoner’s dilemma and one dollar auction, theoretical analysis of strategies to determine the best rational strategy for the player, conducting the experiment in various conditions and comparison between theoretical and empirical results. Score/results – the analysis of various strategies showed that the most rational strategy is the minimum expenditure on armaments to allow effective defense against an adversary. The empirical results showed that players spent significantly higher amounts on armaments than theoretical predictions would have assumed, and 15 out of 26 games did not end close to Nash Equilibrum, which showed that the participants did not play according to rational calculation. The ability to communicate effectively resulted in players being more cooperative. In addition, those who said they played computer games performed better than the others, and finance and accounting students were more likely to choose strategies based on competition. The research supports the thesis that people are inclined to compete even when the competition brings them losses. Originality/value – the proposed game of an arms race is a new model, that can be used to simulate an arms race and to measure rationality of human players. The conducted experiments also provide evidence about human behavior regarding choosing cooperation or competition.
Resilience of Polish Exports to Non-Economic External Shocks
Authors: Talar Sylwia ,   University of Economics in Katowice
Published: July 2024

Goal – the paper aims to assess the resilience of Polish exports to disruptions caused by external factors of a non-economic nature, using the example of the shocks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Research methodology – the author of the study uses a literature review and analysis based on official statistics. The three dimensions of export resilience were operationalized and assessed, i.e. resistance, responsiveness and adaptation. Short- and medium-term results were evaluated. Score/results – Polish exports are not completely resilient to non-economic external shocks, as there has been a short-term deterioration in performance due to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, but taking all dimensions of resilience together and the medium-term time horizon, the resilience of Polish exports to this type of disruptions has been strongly confirmed. Originality/value – the study responds to the need to assess the economic security of economies participating in the international division of labor in connection with the emergence of non-economic external shocks negatively affecting international cooperation. The study makes an important contribution to the recognition of the resilience of Polish exports, its various dimensions and over a longer time horizon. To date, such research has not been conducted, and the issue of trade resilience, although very important for continuing to reap the benefits of international trade, is not sufficiently explained.

Goal – the aim of the article is to identify and assess the labour activity of war refugees from Ukraine. Research methodology – the assessment was based on interviews conducted with working Ukrainian citizens who arrived in four North-East regions of Poland, which are also part of the eastern border of the European Union. Interviews with refugees were conducted using an author’s questionnaire written in Ukrainian. Score/results – on the basis of the collected empirical material, it can be concluded that the refugees are people of working age and well educated, which made it easier for them to find jobs, albeit inadequate for their learned professions. Most of them make a living from the salaries they receive. Thus, they can be considered entrepreneurial and resourceful Originality/value – many studies have focused on analysing the impact of forced migration on the labour market in host countries, indicating its both positive and negative effects. At the same time, there is a shortage of scientific studies resulting from empirical research relating to the employment situation of Ukrainian immigrants arriving in the country after February 2022. The issue of the labour market participation of Ukraine war migrants in Poland is still a relatively new research area, which requires systematic research and in-depth analysis in order to design the most effective measures.
Existential Questions in Perinatal Psychology: Art Therapy Methods in Working with Perinatal Loss
Authors: Zharikova Anastasia D. ,   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University
Published: July 2024

Today, great attention is paid to the topic of perinatal losses, including “recurrent miscarriage” and infertility of unknown origin. Not only the psychological, but also the medical community is sounding the alarm on this issue, since the demographic crisis is also a state threat to our time. The author proposes to consider the main causes and psychological aspects of perinatal loss. The article outlines technologies for supporting in art therapy, to help lients during both the acute stage of experiencing loss and in preparation for subsequent pregnancy.

Authors: Lai Bowen , Jiang Heng , Gao Yuan , Zhou Xuhui
Published: July 2024

Myositis ossificans (MO) is characterized by benign heterotopic ossificans in soft tissues like muscles, which can be classified into nonhereditary MO and fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). Although MO has been studied for decades, no research reviewed and analyzed the features of publications in this field quantitatively and qualitatively.

Using bibliometrics tools (bibliometrix R package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace), we conducted a bibliometric analysis of 1280 articles regarding MO in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 1993 to 2022.

The annual number of publications and related research areas in the MO field increased gradually in the past 20 years. The USA contributed the most percentage (42.58%) of articles. The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) and the Journal Bone published the most articles among all institutions and journals. Kaplan FS and Shore EM from UPenn were the top two scholars who made the largest contributions to this field.

Keyword analysis showed that research hotspots changed from traumatic MO and clinical management of MO to the genetic etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of FOP.

This study can provide new insights into the research trends of MO and helps researchers grasp and determine future study directions more easily.

Authors: Chharang Dharmendra , Choudhary Sheela
Published: July 2024

Aim: A study was methodized to evaluate whether supplementation of probiotics could impact the utilization of nutrients and energy in Asian elephants. Materials and Methods: Eighteen elephants were randomly selected for 60 days experiment including five days of the digestibility trial and divided into three groups with six elephants each i.e. control with no probiotic (T1) and the other two with probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus in T2 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in T3 groups at 1 × 109 CFU/gm concentrate per 50 kg body weight/ day orally. Results: : The intakes of ether extract and total ash revealed significant whereas the digestibility coefficients of total ash and acid-insoluble ash exhibited a highly significant effect of treatment. However, other values of intakes and the digestibility coefficients of proximate principles and fibre fractions could not reveal any significant effect. Practical nutritional worth, plane of nutrition and energy balance profile were also found to be non significant among the groups. Increasing trend of intake and the digestibility of energy; and the relative difference was associated with increased DM intake and NDF digestibility. The mean values for TDN%, NR, digestible DM and OM intakes and TDN intake were obtained to be higher for probiotic supplemented groups than the control group. Conclusion: It is concluded that probiotic supplementation could not exhibit any significant effect on nutrients and energy utilization in elephants. However, further research is needed to examine the effects of high doses, strain and viability of the probiotics.

The structural, electrokinetic, and energetic properties of the TiСо1-xCrxSb semiconductor obtained by doping TiCoSb with Cr atoms introduced into the structure by substituting Co atoms in the crystallographic position 4c were studied. It was shown that in TiСо1-xCrxSb the structural defects of donor and acceptor nature are generated simultaneously in different ratios depending on the impurity concentration. At concentrations of х ≥ 0.02, the conductivity of TiСо1-xCrxSb has a metallic character, and the contribution of current carrier scattering mechanisms to the value of electrical resistivity is of the same order as changes in the concentration of current carriers. It was established that at all temperatures in the range of concentrations x = 0–0.02, the rate of generation of donors exceeds the rate of generation of acceptors, and at concentrations x > 0.02, on the contrary, the rate of generation of acceptors is greater than that of donors. This is indicated by the positive values of thermopower coefficient α(х,Т) of TiСо1-xCrxSb for х > 0.03.

In the era of healthcare digital transformation, the scientific community faces the need for structured and available datasets for research and technological projects in the field of artificial intelligence, related to the development of new diagnostic and treatment methods.

Objective: to develop a dataset containing anonymized medical data of all patients treated at the Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology (FRCCR), and provide access for doctors and scientists of FRCCR and other centers to structured patient data for subsequent analysis and research. 

Materials and Methods. The FRCCR medical information system and the tools «Asclepius», PL/SQL, Microsoft Oﬃce Excel, Power Query M, Microsoft PowerBI, Open data editor, and Python were used for data collection and representation. To provide open access to the dataset and protect the personal data of patients, the information was anonymized.

Results. We introduce the RICD (Russian Intensive Care Dataset, https://fnkcrr-database.ru/) — the first dataset of intensive care patients in the Russian Federation, developed at FRCCR based on advanced principles and methods used in international open database projects — «eICU Program» from Philips Healthcare, «MIMIC-IV», and «MIMIC-III». The developed dataset contains information on 7,730 hospitalizations of 5,115 patients (including readmissions), covering data from 3,291 hospitalizations in the intensive care units (ICUs). The total number of records in the RICD exceeds 14 million. The RICD presents medical-anthropometric data, patient movement within the institution, diagnoses, information on therapy provided, results of laboratory tests, scale assessments, and outcomes of hospitalization. RICD also contains data on several vital parameters collected from bedside monitors and other equipment of ICUs, with up to 10 evaluations per hour.

Conclusion. The RICD allows for in-depth analysis and research of clinical practices in intensive care, enabling the development of clinical decision support tools and the application of machine learning methods to enhance diagnostic tools and improve patient outcomes. With its accessibility and detailed data structure, the dataset serves as a valuable tool for both scientific research and practical applications in intensive care.

Published: July 2024

В свободной атмосфере в интервале высот 6–12 км наибольшую опасность для авиации представляет турбулентность ясного неба (ТЯН). Перемежаемость и случайная локализация ТЯН в спокойном окружающем воздушном потоке существенно ограничивают возможности ее прогнозирования. С учетом изменения климата и увеличения вероятности возникновения ТЯН создание систем дистанционного обнаружения турбулентных зон становится особенно актуальным. Приведены результаты зондирования турбулентности ультрафиолетовым лидаром УОР-5 с борта самолета-лаборатории Ту-134 «Оптик». Летный эксперимент проводился в сентябре 2022 г. в рамках программы исследования Арктики. Лидар регистрировал зоны умеренной турбулентности в нижней части тропосферы, где вероятность турбулентности максимальная; также были зафиксированы единичные случаи ТЯН на высоте 9 км. Турбулентный лидар может использоваться на практике для дистанционного обнаружения турбулентных зон на высотах, где осуществляется большинство коммерческих авиарейсов. Также показана перспектива наземного применения турбулентного лидара для решения задач авиационной безопасности при полетах в нижней тропосфере. Представлены результаты зондирования лидаром УОР-5 в зимнее время, когда было зарегистрировано повышение интенсивности турбулентности в слое 0,4–1,6 км при прохождении холодного фронта.

A flight experiment was carried out in which turbulence was sounded with the UV lidar BSE-5 from the Tu-134 Optik laboratory aircraft. The experiment was conducted in September 2022 as part of the Arctic exploration program. During the flights, lidar recorded zones of moderate turbulence in the lower troposphere, where the probability of turbulence is maximal, and isolated cases of clear air turbulence (CAT) at an altitude of 9 km. The intensity of the aircraft shaking was monitored using a 3-coordinate accelerometer. It was found that the turbulent lidar can be used in practice for remote detection of turbulent zones at altitudes where most commercial flights are carried out. The prospect of ground-based application of turbulent lidar for solving aviation safety problems during flights in the lower troposphere is shown. The results of the BSE-5 lidar sounding in winter, when an increase in the intensity of turbulence in the 0.4–1.6 km layer was recorded during the passage of a cold front, are presented.

Effects of adding different boron compounds to the urea-formaldehyde resin were evaluated relative to the physical, mechanical, and other properties of medium-density fiberboard (MDF). While the chemical addition of boric acid to the urea-formaldehyde resin increased the modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity values of MDF boards, the physical and chemical additions of other boron compounds decreased those values. While there were no significant decreases in internal bond values, the chemical addition of boric acid and borax decahydrate to urea-formaldehyde resin increased the internal bond values of MDF boards. It was observed that in both types of addition, borax pentahydrate reduced the formaldehyde emission values of MDF boards the most and also reduced the burnt area by up to 30%. When the type of addition of boron compounds to urea-formaldehyde was compared, the addition of boron compounds at the resin formation stage showed better results in the properties of MDF boards than physical addition.

A study was conducted in sandy clay loam soils in a subtropical zone of Bihar to evaluate the effect of frequent application of organic amendments on sulphur fractions. Different organic amendments, including farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, azotobacter, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), panchagawya, and neem cake, were applied through nine treatments that resulted in a significant increase of water-soluble S, available S, heat-soluble S, adsorbed S, and organic S in organic treatment compared to the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and control treatment. The maximum increment was observed in the treatment where the recommended dose of nitrogen was replaced by 75% recommended dose of nitrogen substituted farmyard manure + 25% recommended dose of nitrogen (vermicompost) along with azotobacter + PSB + one foliar spray of panchagawya. The total S content varied widely from 382 to 736 mg kg-1. Increment in all the forms of sulphur is observed as a result of the application of different organic nutrient sources. All the forms of sulphur share a mutual positive and significant correlation with each other. Regression analysis suggested that the availability of sulphur was dominated by organic sulphur, which alone can explain 97.8% of the variation in availability of available sulphur in soil.

The unique physical and chemical properties of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) of different sizes and shapes made their synthesis expedient. The most important method of NPs synthesis is the chemical process. However, the disadvantages of this method are the need for specific conditions such as high temperatures, to ensure formation and stability of NPs, as well as use of heavy aromatic solvents. Biosynthesis of NPs is considered advantageous over the traditional chemical approach. In this paper, the first report of the synthesis of silver oxide (AgO) NPs using Trigonella foenum-graecum leaf extract as a reducing agent is presented. The NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TA/DTA), UV, photolumines-cence, SEM, EDX and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The XRD confirmed the formation of high-purity AgO fine crystals. The average crystal size ranged from 27 to 32 nm as was revealed by HRTEM. From the Tauc plot, the optical band gap of the AgO crystals of 3.3 eV was determined. Thermal analysis provided the optimum temperature for calcination of the AgO NPs to be 400 °C.
