Theoretical Analysis of Radiative Effects on Transient Free Convection Heat Transfer past a Hot Vertical Surface in Porous Media
Authors: Ghosh S. K. K. , Anwar Beg O.
Published: October 2019

The purpose of the present investigation deals with the unsteady free convective flow of a viscous incompressible gray, absorbing-emitting but non-scattering, optically-thick fluid occupying a semi-infinite porous regime adjacent to an infinite moving hot vertical plate with constant velocity. We employ a Darcian viscous flow model for the porous medium. The momentum and thermal boundary layer equations are non-dimensionalized using appropriate transformations and then solved subject to physically realistic boundary conditions using the Laplace transform technique. Thermal radiation effects are simulated via a radiation-conduction parameter, Kr, based on the Rosseland diffusion approximation. The influence of Grashof (free convection) number, radiation-conduction parameter (Kr), inverse permeability parameter (Kp) and dimensionless time (t) are studied graphically. We observe that increasing thermal radiation parameter causes a noticeable increase in the flow velocity, u. Temperature, θ, is significantly increased within the boundary layer with a rise in Kr since the latter represents the relative contribution of thermal radiation heat transfer to thermal conduction heat transfer. Increased radiation therefore augments heat transfer, heats the fluid and increases the thickness of the momentum and thermal boundary layers. Velocity is found to decrease with an increase in Kp (inverse permeability parameter) as are shear stress function ( ∂u/∂y | y=0) magnitudes owing to greater resistance of the porous medium for lower permeabilities, which decelerate the flow. An increase in Kr however boosts the shear stress function magnitudes i.e. serves to accelerate the flow. Temperature gradient, ∂θ/∂y | y=0 is also positively affected by an increase in thermal radiation (Kr) and with time. The present study has applications in geological convection, forest fire propagation, glass heat treatment processes at high temperature, metallurgical processing etc.
Front Dynamics with Delays in a Spatially Extended Bistable System: Computer Simulation
Authors: Jasaitis V. , Ivanauskas F. , Bakanas R.
Published: October 2019

Front dynamics with delays in a spatially extended bistable system of the reaction-diffusion type is studied by the use of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) of the parabolic type. The response of the self-ordered front, joining two steady states of the different stability in the system, to the multi-harmonic (step-like) force is examined. The relaxation rate of the system, that characterizes the delayed response of the front to the alternating current (ac) drive, is found to be sensitive to the peculiarities (shape) of the rate function (nonlinearity) of the governing PDE. By using computer simulations of the drift motion of the ac driven bistable front (BF) we are able to show that the characteristic relaxation time of the system decreases with the increasing outer slope parameters of the rate function and is not sensitive to the inner one.

Authors: Rahman M. M. M. , Mamun A. A. A. , Azim M. A. A. , Alim M. A. A.
Published: October 2019

MHD natural convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid along a vertical flat plate with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and conduction effects is analyzed. The governing equations with associated boundary conditions for this phenomenon are converted to dimensionless forms using a suitable transformation. The transformed non-linear equations are then solved using the implicit finite difference method with Keller-box scheme. Numerical results of the velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient and surface temperature for different values of the magnetic parameter, thermal conductivity variation parameter, Prandtl number and conjugate conduction parameter are presented graphically. Detailed discussion is given for the effects of the aforementioned parameters.
A One-Sex Population Dynamics Model with Discrete Set of Offsprings and Child Care
Authors: Skakauskas V.
Published: October 2019

We present a one-sex age-structured population dynamics deterministic model with a discrete set of offsprings, child care, environmental pressure, and spatial migration. All individuals have pre-reproductive, reproductive, and post-reproductive age intervals. Individuals of reproductive age are divided into fertile single and taking child care groups. All individuals of pre-reproductive age are divided into young (under maternal care) and juvenile (offspring who can live without maternal care) classes. It is assumed that all young offsprings move together with their mother and that after the death of mother all her young offsprings are killed. The model consists of integro-partial differential equations subject to the conditions of the integral type. Number of these equations depends on a biologically possible maximal newborns number of the same generation produced by an individual. The existence and uniqueness theorem is proved, separable solutions are studied, and the long time behavior is examined for the solution with general type of initial distributions in the case of non-dispersing population. Separable and more general (nonseparable) solutions, their large time behavior, and steady-state solutions are studied for the population with spatial dispersal, too.
Oxidatively modified proteins in kidneys of rats fed with glyphosate-resistant genetically modified soybean and the herbicide Roundup

Published: October 2019

Genetic technologies have become a tool for achieving the desired properties of plant crops instead of traditional breeding in recent decades. They consist in artificial editing of a plant genome (genetic modification) by inserting the genes encoding desired features from the DNA of one organism in another, often unrelated, species. One of the most popular crops is soybean containing up to 38–42% of proteins in its seeds, and its most common type is GTS 40-3-2 (Monsanto Canada Inc.) line of transgenic soybean. The genetically modified soybean "Roundup Ready" is resistant to the action of herbicide "Roundup" (it continues to grow when it is cultivated with this herbicide). Therefore, the study of individual and combined effects of both factors on the free radical oxidation processes in biomolecules is very relevant. Experimental research was performed on 4-month Wistar rats to study the long-term effects of feeding with genetically modified soybean and herbicide "Roundup", both separately and together, on the rat kidneys. The results of the study showed that after 12 months of feeding with genetically modified soybean treated with herbicide "Roundup" (IV group) and receiving the herbicide with drinkable water (V group), there was an increase in the level of carbonyl derivatives in the rat kidney homogenates in the first (F0) and in subsequent generations (F1, F2) of rats. The research results showed that the highest level of carbonyl derivatives was noted in the kidneys of the third generation of rats. Along with the increase in oxidatively modified proteins in the rat kidney homogenates, there was a decrease in the content of sulfhydryl groups and proteolytic enzymes in the IV and V groups, the lowest level was observed in the third generation. The use of the same transgenic soybean variety not treated with any herbicide did not lead to an increase in the level of carbonyl derivatives and a decrease in the content of sulfhydryl groups compared to control group rats. Thus, the obtained experimental data indicate that both feeding with the genetically modified soybean treated with the herbicide and receiving the herbicide "Roundup" with drinkable water lead to the initiation of free radical processes in the kidneys of rats of all three generations and imbalance of the oxidant–antioxidant system, most notably in the third generation of rats. Such research results indicate the negative effects of the investigated factors and indicate that the herbicide "Roundup" may be accumulated in the seeds of transgenic soybean and also it may increase the oxidative modification of proteins in the rat kidneys. Hence, it is necessary to carry out a detailed study of the effects of these factors on histochemical changes in the kidney and liver structure and an investigation of antioxidant enzyme activity in these organs.

Published: October 2019

Peppermint grass, as a raw medicinal plant material, has great importance for the pharmaceutical industry. The influence of clonal micropropagation and chemotherapy has been established in vitro on six breeds of Ukrainian selection peppermint plants, in particular on the sprouts’ conductive system structure and tissue development, general biomass accumulation, and in vivo productivity of breeds. The influence of clonal micropropagation and chemotherapy on important productivity indices of the plants has been established in vitro in six breeds of Ukrainian selection peppermint plants as pharmacopeial plants. The linear meter method, the microscopic method, the standard histochemical methods, and the statistical analysis method were used in the studies. A clear tendency to increase in the leaf cover, air-dry leafage and rhizome was observed in breeds of Ukrainian selection peppermint to which propagation and in vitro improvement technology was applied. The air-dry leafage yield significantly increased after in vitro culture from 7.6% in the Lidiia breed to 51.4% in the Chornolysta breed recognized as a state mint standard in Ukraine. The leaf cover increased from 8% to 21% in peppermint plants improved in іn vitro culture. This method promoted essential oil quantity increase from 9.8 to 28.6 kg per hectare. The rhizome yield increased by 6.3–40.4% in all peppermint plants breeds after improvement in in vitro culture on average within one vegetation year. The Lebedyna Pisnіa and Mama breeds were characterised by the most intensive development of all investigated anatomic and morphological indices after in vitro culture: rhizomes yield increased by 40.4% and 40.1%, air-dry leafage by 37.1% and 26.6%, leaf cover by 21.0% and 13.0%, and essential oil quantity per hectare increased by 38.1% and 28.5% accordingly. Anatomical and histochemical studies of sprouts of Ukrainian selection peppermint plants breeds confirmed increase in xylogenesis intensity in the majority of the studied breeds (except Lidiia and Ukrains’ka Pertseva) after in vitro culture improvement. The xylogenesis process was most expressed in the Mama and Chornolysta breeds. Air-dry leafage, rhizome yield, and leaf cover increased in all peppermint plants breeds after in vitro improvement, which could be critical for the pharmaceutical industry.
Application of correlation analysis in cytology: Opportunities to study specific activity of follicular thyrocytes
Authors: Ryabukha O. I. , Dronyuk I. M.
Published: October 2019

The task of biomedical diagnostics is to determine the dependence of the conclusion/diagnosis on the sets of parameters that characterize the state of the biosystem/patient. The performed analytical review of modern scientific literature permitted us to determine that Bayesian, regression and correlation analyzes and logical programming are most often used for biomedical diagnostics purposes. At the same time, their informativeness can only be realized for the solution of those diagnostic tasks in which quantitative parameters are analyzed. Qualitative and binary information provides an opportunity to find out more about features of the biosystem’s state. However, its use is limited, since the results obtained are presented in words (that is, in a linguistic form) that cannot be processed by means of traditional (digital) mathematical analysis. The objective of this work was determining the capabilities of the mathematical apparatus to deepen the study of hormonopoiesis in the thyroid gland. The object of the study was electron micrographs of ultrathin tissue sections, its subject was the features of correlations between ultrastructural cell elements which carry out the processes of synthesis and secretion in follicular thyrocytes. In the context of studying the features of synthetic and secretory activity of follicular thyrocytes of the thyroid glands in white male rats, it was shown that the objectification of non-numerical information about the state of cells allows us to use linguistic information about changes in their morphofunctional state. Implementation of correlation analysis for studying the relationships and interdependencies between organelles which implement synthesis and secretion of the hormonal product in the main structural unit of the thyroid gland – follicular thyrocyte – allows us to determine, study, analyze and generalize peculiarities of both changes in individual ultrastructures and their functional complexes (clusters) in response to the actions of various factors and to trace the interdependencies and mutual interactions existing between them, as well as to deepen the idea of the intimate mechanism features of the specific directions of follicular thyrocyte activity, which substantially expands the research platform in cytophysiology and cytomorphology.
Hollywood Cosmopolitanisms and the Occult Resonance of Cinema
Authors: Doostdar Alireza
Published: October 2019

This article examines various circulations of Hollywood productions in Iran and the ways in which audiences, critics, cultural administrators, and activists relate to them. I am particularly concerned with what I call “Hollywood cosmopolitanisms,” forms of receptivity to religious and cultural others as mediated by the U.S. film industry. Rather than dividing attitudes toward Hollywood in terms of openness and refusal, or cosmopolitanism and counter-cosmopolitanism, I suggest that we attend to different modes of openness: those that are overtly acknowledged, those that are concealed, and those that pass altogether unrecognized but make their mark in the form of “occult resonance.”
Early Islamic Cosmopolitanism? Constructing the ?Umma of India in Pre-Mongol Muslim Scholarship
Authors: Hayes Edmund
Published: October 2019

This article analyzes possible avenues for the study of a pre-Mongol Islamic cosmopolitanism. The ways in which the archetypically idolatrous land of India is treated by Islamicate thinkers of the ?Abbasid empire and after illuminates an Islamic cosmopolitanism that managed to incorporate the other into its view of human history and religious history. Two major fields for the generation of cosmopolitan ideas are analyzed: narratives drawn from historiography, and taxonomies erected by theological-heresiographical works. Both frameworks rely on a Muslim model of history and society in which divine truth and guidance are mediated to the communities (?umma, ?umam) of the world firstly by a prophet, but also by sages and philosopher-kings: figures who play important roles in Muslim accounts of India. Through applying these “universal” categories to Indian subject-matter, Muslim thinkers were able to depict Indians as partners in the human struggle to attain and preserve truth, albeit falling short of the Muslim community in various ways. In both the historiographical and the heresiographical fields, cosmopolitan and anti-cosmopolitan trends are observable. By incorporating Indian narratives into a universalizing historical vision, Mas??d? can best be seen to approach a cosmopolitan sensibility among thinkers within historiographic discourse. B?r?n? goes furthest among the thinkers working within a theological-heresiographical framework in analogizing Indian philosophy with Muslim thought. It is argued that both thinkers achieve a kind of cosmopolitanism only through an elitist denigration of the commoners of their communities. In addition, their cosmopolitanism was predicated on imperial expansionism into India.

Indigenizing the Goddess
Authors: Whitehead Amy
Published: October 2019

The Glastonbury Goddess religion in the South West of England began in the 1990s by a small group of women dedicated to reviving the Goddess of the land surrounding Glastonbury, interpreting and revitalizing myths and legends in relation to her, and reclaiming the Goddess as their own after centuries of male Christian dominated religion. Hugely successful, the group have constructed what they claim to be the first Goddess Temple dedicated to the indigenous goddess of Glastonbury in over 1500 years. The article will argue that territorialization, or “re-territorialization,” is one of the main strategies of this indigenizing process, and is carried out through the use and development of Glastonbury Goddess material cultures, ritual creativity and narratives, as well as international Goddess training programmes. Prompting the reclamation of local Goddesses in different parts of the world, the Glastonbury Goddess religion is having local and global reach.
Romantic Indigenizing of New Religions in Contemporary Europe Critical Methodological Remarks
Authors: Tafjord Bjørn Ola
Published: October 2019

Romanticisms, not colonialisms, drive the indigenizing and the religionizing in the cases described and analyzed in this special issue. In what follows, I shall explain what I mean by this observation and suggest ways to think about it critically. The task of this essay is to highlight entangled methodological and political contexts for the discussion about “indigenizing” that Graham Harvey opened in his introduction, a discussion that the different case studies then continued and exemplified. Inspired by Paul Christopher Johnson’s theorizing about indigenizing (Johnson 2002a), Harvey asks whether it is useful to employ the concepts “indigenous” and “indigenizing” in studies of contemporary movements in Europe: British Druids (studied by Suzanne Owen), Italian shamans and witches (by Angela Puca), The English Bear Tribe (by Graham Harvey), Irish or Celtic Pagans (by Jenny Butler), English Powwow enthusiasts (by Christina Welch), Anastasians in Lithuania and Russia (by Rasa Pranskevi?i?t?), and Goddess devotees in Glastonbury (by Amy Whitehead). These are movements (and scholars) that have been associated with the study of paganisms and the study of new religious movements, but usually not with the study of indigenous religions (except Harvey and Owen who have worked extensively in both fields of research).
Evaluation of Stress in Tilted Implant Concept With Variable Diameters in the Atrophic Mandible: Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Kilic Erdem , Doganay Ozge
Published: October 2019

The beneficial mechanical properties provided by greater diameter or short implants increases their usage in the tilted implant concept. The aim of the present study is to compare the stress distribution of 4 different treatment models including variable implant numbers and diameters under a static loading protocol in the atrophic mandible using 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Three models included 2 tilted and 2 vertically positioned implants with different diameters, whereas 2 distally placed short implants were added to the fourth model. The von Mises stress as well as the maximum and minimum principal stress values were evaluated after applying 200 N bilateral oblique loads to the first molar teeth with the inclination of 45° to the longitudinal axis. Tilted implants were associated with higher stress values when compared with vertical implants in all models. The lowest stress values were obtained in the fourth model, including short implants. Although all stress values showed slight increases by descending implant diameters, the stress values of the model including implants with 3.3-mm diameter were within physiologic limits. All in all, an increasing number or diameter of implants may have a positive effect on implant survival. In addition, when narrow-diameter implants need to be inserted in the tilted implant concept, combination with short implants may be recommended for long-term success.
Modified IVAN Technique: Long-Term Follow-Up of 20 Cases Over 2 to 11 Years
Authors: Pohl Snjezana , Kurtzman Gregori M.
Published: October 2019

When natural teeth fail, frequently there is a loss of hard and soft tissue. This may complicate subsequent dental implant placement by creating insufficient bone to house the implant. This also occurs when the tooth has been missing for an extended period, especially in the premaxilla, where the bone is less dense and often lacks sufficient volume of facial bone. Site reconstruction to accommodate implant placement often requires both hard and soft tissue augmentation. The modified interpositional vascularized augmentation neogenesis (mIVAN) technique achieves the desired treatment goals in both delayed and immediate placement scenarios. The technique will be discussed as well as the long-term follow-up on 20 cases.

Criminological Aspects of Medical Crimes
Authors: Spasennikov Boris
Published: October 2019

The article examines criminological aspects of medical crimes, which, besides "traditional" iatrogenic crimes, cover a number of other risks of using these technologies for criminal purposes. The materials for the study were the results of the authors own observations and theoretical studies, the data obtained by analyzing information on the research topic for 2012-2017, the data of the analysis of the medical and judicial practice, the data of sociological jury of opinion - medical workers of various profiles, whose professional activity is directly related to the use of biomedical technology (280 people). The social and legal status of the medical worker determines the potential possibility of using appropriate skills, skills, competencies, official position and authority to commit crimes in the sphere of their professional activities. Retardation of the legal regulation in the sphere of biomedical technologies generates the possibility of committing socially dangerous acts by medical workers and the so-called "gray areas of responsibility", which significantly affects the potential of using these technologies for criminal purposes. The author emphasizes the fact that the risks of criminal use of biomedical technologies by medical workers should be considered not only from the perspective of the current established medical and legal practices, but it also should take into account the potential of biotechnological development of medicine in the future.
Challenges and Threats to Security of the Russian Federation: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects
Authors: Shobodoyeva Anna
Published: October 2019

The legal provision and scientific and theoretical substantiation of the ecological security has changed objectively due to the new threats that have appeared in this sphere. It has had an effect on the Russian Federations activity in the field of ecology protection of our country. This fact is proved by signing by V. V. Putin the Strategy of RF Ecological Security for the Period till 2015 in April, 2017. When examining into the content of the Strategy a serious attention should be paid to its theoretical and methodological constituent, including the problem of the conceptual construct. Accordingly, the aim of our article is an analysis of the terminological basis of the ecological security category in terms of generalization of the Russian legislation and present-day scientific toolkit. The main attention is given to the following concepts: danger, challenge, threat to ecological security. The article presents positions of various authors explaining the correlation of challenge, danger and threat to ecological security. We also dwell on the characteristic of the Strategy of ecological security, its content, inherent drawbacks, specify the internal and external challenges and threats to ecological security while underlining the importance of scientific approaches to their classification. Frequent appeal to the word combination ecological security shows that scientific publications, statutory documents, social and political journalism lack a uniform interpretation of the concept under consideration. It is logical enough to make a conclusion that it by no means contributes to development of the ecological security theory and, first of all, to practical implementation of the tasks of providing this type of security in Russia. An emphasis is laid on the fact that unfortunately the Strategy of Ecological Security has generally sidestepped the problem of the conceptual construct.
The Order of Satisfaction of Creditors' Claims on Current Payments in the Bankruptcy Case: Problems of Applying Russian Legislation
Authors: Rykov Dmitry
Published: October 2019

The article examines the issues of the Russian bankruptcy legislation in time and the problems of its application arising in connection of meeting current payments. Analyzing the legislation regulating the relationships of insolvency (bankruptcy) before the entry into force of the amendments introduced by the Federal Law No. 296-FZ of December 30, 2008, attention is drawn to the insufficient regulation of the order of satisfaction of current claims, which in some cases completely blocks the entire bankruptcy procedure. As one of the solutions to this problem, it is proposed to envisage and legislatively fix the procedure for transition from regulation by law in the old version to regulation by law in a new edition. Adoption of such changes will solve the problem of meeting the requirements of current creditors in bankruptcy procedures introduced before the entry into force of the Federal Law No. 296-FZ of December 30, 2008.

Authors: Rodivilina Viktoriya , Kolominov Vyacheslav
Published: October 2019

At present, the level of illegal distribution of drug evokes well-grounded anxiety. As is known, one of the most important constituents in implementing governmental anti-drug policy is establishing legal basics of effective control of drug trafficking, mood-altering substances and their precursors, developing new legal mechanisms of counteracting their illegal trafficking. Over the five last years, the drug situation in Russian has drastically become more sensitive, the number of drug-associated crimes has increased. The results of counteracting the illegal drug trafficking in spite of some changes for the better can not be recognized as satisfactory. As before, legal cases are brought against consumers or small-scale drug pushers, while the drug manufacturers and wholesale suppliers, drug business organizers remain, as a rule, beyond the sphere of legal administration. The article examines the drug situation existing in the country, the issues of investigating the crimes related to illegal acquisition, storage, transportation, manufacturing, processing, production, sales or conveyance of narcotic substances, mood-altering substances or their analogues, as well as illegal acquisition, storage, transportation, sales or conveyance of plants containing narcotic substances mood-altering substances qualified according to Arts. 228, 228.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Authors: Lutoshliva Ekaterina , Vorobyeva Ekaterina , Turganova Gulnara
Published: October 2019

It is identified that the depressed mood of cancer patients is one of natural responses to the disease. However, it can considerably reduce motivation to the treatment, overcoming the illness, increase the risk of suicidal behavior and in general worsen the quality of their life. Manifestations of the depressed mood of cancer patients are similar to manifestations of the depressed mood of the patients having chronic or deadly diseases. However, there are features which depend on some factors, the most important of which is the disease stage. The results obtained allow to draw a conclusion that the features of the depressed mood at the second stage of the disease are connected with acceptation of the diagnosis and can manifest in the feeling of a punishment expectation, loss of interests in previous hobbies and communication restrictions; the features of a depressed mood at the third stage are determined by the disease dynamics and the further forecast, and can manifest in the analysis of the previous mistakes, absence of of hopes for the future, disgust for themselves and feeling of uselessness.
