Biological features of Urostylis annulicornis Scott (Heteroptera, Urostylididae) in the south of the russian far east
Authors: Kanyukova E. V , Markova T. O , Maslov M. V
Published: April 2024

Nymphal and adult Urostylis annulicornis Scott, 1874 were reared in cages from eggs overwintered under oak bark in the south of Primorskii Territory. Instars I hatch before the onset of vegetation season and develop under bark where they feed by sucking the jelly-like coating of the egg mass. As oak leaves unfold, instars I leave the shelter and begin feeding on leaf sap. Adults live in the oak crown. The sequence of molts of all nymphal stages, their feeding, and timing of seasonal development of the species in nature are described.
Infl uence of ecological factors on the start date of the colorado potato beetle lLeptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) emergence from overwintering sites in the Central forest-steppe priobskii agro-landscape region
Authors: Chulikova N. S , Malyuga A. A
Published: April 2024

As a result of long-term studies, the complex e ect of the depth of soil freezing, depth of snow cover, the amount of precipitation, the temperature of air and of soil at a depth of 0-20 and 20-40 cm, the sum of e ective temperatures on the start date of the adult Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) emergence from the soil in potato plantings was established in the Central Forest-Steppe Priobskii Agro-Landscape Region. The average values of these environmental factors for the period from September of the previous year to June of the current year by 27.2% determined the emergence date of the overwintered imago. The share of the conditions of the previous year in uence was 50.5, and the conditions of the current year, 31.1%. The appearance of the overwintered adults was delayed when they had gone for overwintering in moist and cool soil. In November, the emergence date begins to be a ected by the depth of snow cover and the depth of soil freezing (the in uence shares 86.8 and 79.5%, respectively), and their e ect together with the factors listed accounted for 35.3%. In December, the same trend was observed, but the air temperature was not considered. In January, the importance of the parameter of the soil temperature increased to 84.3%, and that of the complex of factors in 26.7% of cases. In February, the same trend was observed, and the share of the in uence all previously listed factors increased to 43.0%. From March, the impact of the depth of soil freezing and the depth of snow has decreased to 42.3%, and from April, the sum of rain precipitation and air temperature began to in uence in 81.8 and 65.8% of cases, respectively. In May, the start date of the pest appearance is a ected only by the soil temperature at a depth of 0-20 and 20-40 cm - 80.7 and 94.0%, respectively, and by photoperiod - 91.1%. In June, the main factors were the amount of rain precipitation and the soil temperature - 100%, while the impact of accumulated SET was 50.0%. Thus, in this region, on average, the beginning of the adults’ Exit from the soil starts on June 17 ± 12 days, when the average daily air temperature reaches +19.1 ± 5.8 °C, the sum of rain precipitation (at air temperature > 10 °C) - 70.7 ± 39.1 mm, and the soil at a depth of 0-20 and 20-40 cm warms up to +17.6 ± 3.8 °C and +14.8 ± 2.5 °C, respectively. The SET in this period is 149.0 ± 64.1 degree days.

Published: April 2024

A comparative morphological study of the structure and distribution of sensilla on the maxillary and labial palps in representatives of the family Hydropsychidae was performed. Morphology of palpal sensilla was studied in 17 species from 12 genera by scanning electron microscopy. Four types of sensilla were found on the palps of the studied species: long trichoid sensilla, chaetoid sensilla, campaniform sensilla, and petaloid sensilla; basiconic and pseudoplacoid sensilla were not found on palps. All studied species lack apical sensory complexes at the tips of both pairs of palps, where only long chaetoid sensilla are present. Petaloid sensilla form sensory elds on the 4th (in Arctopsychinae) or on the 3rd and 4th segments (in Diplectroninae, Hydropsychinae, Macronematinae) of the maxillary palps. These sensilla are never present on the labial palps. Sensory elds include from 5-10 sensilla in Hydropsychinae to 40 in Arctopsychinae.

Development and harmfulness of the cabbage moth (Plutella xylostella (L.); Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) on the spring rape crops in Leningrad province
Authors: Shpanev A. M
Published: April 2024

Results of the long term research have shown that the cabbage moth causes a serious threat to spring rape plantings in Leningrad Province. During the last decade, there were several cases of mass reproduction of this species when high population density of the insect and heavy injury to the rape leaves and buds were recorded. Mass reproduction of the moth was observed in the early and warm spring, when the plantings were infested by the butter ies earlier and simultaneously, and the caterpillars were feeding on rape plants at the initial stages of their development that strongly reduced the crop yield. The situation was getting worse on rape that was sown late and was also damaged earlier by Phyllotreta ea beetles, and in the hot, dry weather. The crop yield of spring rape was decreased from damage caused by caterpillars according to the data averaged over the entire period of research by 4.7% (0.65 centner∙ha-1), in the years of mass reproduction, by 84%, and in the years of low population, by 2.5%. The harmfulness of cabbage moth caterpillars increased by 2.3 and 4.5 times when leaf area was damaged by 26-50% and more than 50%, respectively, as compared to when damage was low and not exceeding 25%. Application of full dose of mineral fertilizers decreased injury to the leaves and buds by cabbage moth caterpillars and harm caused to spring rape due to a higher plant potential to recover from the damage in icted.
Eff ect of volatile organic compounds of entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Lecanicillium and their component, the acetic acid, on the female behaviour of the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae)
Authors: Mitina G. V , Stepanycheva E. A , Choglokova A. A , Cherepanova M. A
Published: April 2024

The e ect of VOCs of six entomopathogenic fungal strains from genus Lecanicillium on the behavioral responses of the western ower thrips females Frankliniella occidentalis on vegetative bean plants and in a Y-shaped olfactometer was studied. The signi cant repellent reactions of thrips females and a decrease in a number of o spring by 33-34% were revealed after treatment the beans by conidial suspensions of L. lecanii strains F2 and Vl 29 in the concentration of 1 × 107 spores/ml. Strains Vl 21 ( L. muscarium ) and Vit 71 ( L. attenuatum ), which showed a repellent tendency towards thrips females, also caused a signi cant decrease of o spring number. The strains isolated from aphids (ARSEF 2332 of L. dimorphum and Vl 13 of L. longisporum ) showed a tendency towards attractiveness. In the Y-shaped olfactometer the repellency of the F2 strain and the attractiveness of the ARSEF 2332 strain were con rmed. The in uence of the other studied strains on the thrips behavioral reactions was unreliable. Acetic acid, tested in the olfactometer at doses corresponding to its content in the fungal VOCs over growing mycelium, caused di erent reactions of thrips females depending on the acid concentration: attractive reactions at the dose of 0.17 ppm; neutral - at the dose of 0.34 ppm; and weak repellent - at 0.85 ppm. The obtained data indicate that acetic acid, contained in the fungal VOCs, e ect on the behavioral responses of thrips females. The repellant e ect of the fungal spores of the genus Lecanicillium on thrips females and the negative impact on o spring number increase the e ectiveness of entomopathogenic fungi.
Biological activity of the Litsea cubeba essential oil and citral against the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)
Authors: Stepanycheva E. A , Petrova M. O , Chermenskaya T. D
Published: April 2024

Investigation of the biological activity of Litsea cubeba essential oil and its main component citral to assess the possibility of their use in biologized protection of greenhouse crops was the aim of this research. The study was carried out on a laboratory population of the two-spotted spider mite on bean plants. The toxic action under the contact-intestinal application and fumigation, and repellent action against the spider mite females and their o spring were evaluated. When using L. cubeba oil and citral at a concentration of 0.25%, a signi cant decrease in the reproduction index by 2.8 and 2.5 times, respectively, was recorded. The activity of the essential oil under fumigation at doses of 7.5 and 6.0 μl/l of air was close to 100%. After reducing the dosage to 4.5 μl/l, the mortality in the experiment exceeded 50%, and the suppression rate of reproduction was 84.5%. The negative e ect on fertility remained above 60% at 3.75 μl/l. The citral application at a dosage of 3.0 μl/l resulted in the mite mortality above 80% and a decrease in the number of eggs laid by female by more than 90%. Females ignored leaves treated with 0.25% solutions of the studied substances, and the decrease in the number of eggs was more than 90% (repellent e ect). The use of citral at 0.125 and 0.06 % concentrations prevented the colonization of leaves by mites also, and at a concentration of 0.045 %, it reduced the number of eggs laid by 3.1 times. Thus, L. cubeba oil and citral may be perspective as natural acaricidal agents with di erent modes of action.
Musculature of the male abdominal segments and terminalia of Helina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 и Phaonia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera, Muscidae: Phaoniinae)
Authors: Sorokina V. S , Ovtshinnikova O. G
Published: April 2024

The male genital and pregenital skeleton and musculature were studied in males of the following species of the Muscidae subfamily Phaoniinae: Helina luteisquama (Zetterstedt, 1845), H. bohemani (Ringdahl, 1916), Phaonia meigeni Pont, 1986, Ph . hybrida (Schnabl, 1888) and Ph . lugubris (Meigen, 1826). The examined species are very similar in the structure of the sclerites and muscles of their terminal segments. The structure of the pregenital muscles in Phaoniinae is similar to that in the subfamily Azeliinae, which occupies the basal position within the Muscidae. The fewer number of phallapodeme muscles, surstylus muscles, and muscles of the subepandrial sclerites in Phaoniinae demonstrates the apomorphic character states and does not allow placing this subfamily at the base of the Muscidae branch. In general, the structure of the male pregenital musculature of the Phaoniinae is most similar to that in the Mydaeinae, and both the Phaoniinae and the Mydaeinae occupy an intermediate position between the basal Azeliinae and the progressive Muscinae.

Authors: Reznik S. Ya. , Ovchinnikov A. N. , Ovchinnikova A. A. , Belyakova N. A.
Published: April 2024

Laboratory experiments revealed individual variability in the intensity of day and night movement activity of starved and fed adults of a predatory ladybird Cheilomenes propinqua . Statistical analysis of the experimental data showed that (1) individual variability of day and night movement activity is determined by di erent parameters of Ch. propinqua adults, (2) environmental factors also have di erent impacts on the rate of individual variability of day and night movement activity, and (3) e ects of temperature and starvation on modi cations of day and night movement activity are also di erent. These results suggest that day and night movement activities of Ch. propinqua adults are determined by di erent physiological mechanisms.

Authors: Hashmi Muhammad Omer , Ashfaq Fatima , Ali Shah Syed Basit , Talat Fawad , Malik Jahanzeb , Akhtar Waheed
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of graft angiography through the right radial artery.

METHODS: A total of 1,634 patients who underwent graft angiography through the right radial artery were included in the study. Baseline characteristics, angiographic features, procedural parameters, and outcomes were analyzed. The study population was compared with a control group of 1,000 patients who underwent graft angiography through other access routes. Statistical analysis was performed to assess differences between the groups.

RESULTS: The procedural success rate for graft angiography through the right radial artery was 95.6%. The most common indication for angiography was postoperative follow-up (53%), followed by symptoms of angina or ischemia (32.6%). Complications were infrequent, with bleeding being the most common adverse event (2.3%). Other complications, such as hematoma formation, pseudoaneurysm, radial artery occlusion, and nerve injury, were rare. Procedural parameters, including fluoroscopy time, contrast usage, and total procedure time, were comparable between the study population and the control group. Comparison with the control group revealed a significantly higher incidence of bleeding in the study population (p = 0.002), with an odds ratio of 2.53 (95% CI: 1.40-4.59). However, there were no statistically significant differences in other complications. Procedural parameters showed no significant differences between the study population and the control group.

CONCLUSION: Graft angiography through the right radial artery demonstrated a high procedural success rate and relatively low complication rates.
Characteristic of Odontoma at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during 2017 – 2022
Authors: Sulakso Tito , Sjamsudin Endang , Priyanto Winarno , Putri Dian Maifara
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that originates from abnormalities in the development of tooth tissue (hamartoma) and is characterized by abnormal calcification of tooth tissue such as enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Odontomas are divided into 2 types, namely compound odontoma and complex odontoma. The epidemiologic characteristics of odontoma in several studies show differences. This study aimed to obtain information and analyze the characteristics of odontoma at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Hasan Sadikin General Hospital for the period January 2017 – December 2022.
Methods:  This study is a retrospective descriptive study based on the medical data record of a patient who was diagnosed with odontoma and undergoing treatment at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Hasan Sadikin General Hospital for the period January 2017 to December 2022. The variables studied include age, gender, lesion location, diagnosis, and treatment, and. 
Results: The total participants in this study were 18 patients (9 males and 9 females), with the highest age range at the age of 11-20 years (50%), and the type of compound odontoma as many as 8 patients (44.4%), and complex odontoma as many as 10 patients (56%). Most of the lesions were found in anterior maxilla with 6 patients (33%), 11% in the right maxilla, 5% in the left maxilla, 17% in the anterior mandible, 6% in the right mandible, and 28% in the left mandible. Particularly, based on the treatment received by the patients, all patients went under enucleation treatment (100%).
Conclusion: Odontomas are equally common in males and females during the second decade of life. Complex odontoma is more common than compound odontoma. Odontoma occur mainly in the anterior maxilla, especially the compound type. Conservative surgery, such as enucleation, is a common treatment.
Keywords: Odontoma, patients characteristics, treatment

A prominent movement of this society is evident, which began life in temporary structures – cabins in the inner part of the city and continued in narrow strips of landscape, in the outer part of the city and residences that lean on the outer face of the wall and even hide it in relation to its surroundings. This analysis was done based on a spatial analysis based on a practice of reconstructing behavioral models called regional behavioral typo-morphology (Gat, 2013). This practice isolates mobile and stationary material categories that were discovered in the Mahrab, defining them into categories, describing and analyzing them with the help of external fields of knowledge from various fields such as sociology, anthropology and more. The main results deal with the construction of an established spatial record, which consolidates identity processes and a sense of belonging to a place. Another finding focuses on the image of space which represents a “struggle for place” and interrelationships of resistance on the one hand and a renewed – insurrectionary – only constructivist construction on the other.

Published: April 2024

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and advancements in machine learning (ML) techniques, there is growing interest in developing intelligent home automation systems. These systems aim to enhance convenience, comfort, and energy efficiency in modern households. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the design, implementation, and evaluation of a home automation system leveraging IoT and ML technologies. Our proposed system integrates various IoT devices such as sensors, actuators, and smart appliances to create a networked environment within the home. These devices collect and transmit real-time data about environmental conditions, user preferences, and energy consumption patterns. We employ machine learning algorithms to analyse this data and make informed decisions to automate various aspects of home management and control.Key components of our system include data preprocessing, feature extraction, model training, and decision-making modules. We explore different ML algorithms such as regression, classification, and clustering to address specific tasks such as temperature regulation, lighting control, security monitoring, and energy optimization. Furthermore, we investigate techniques for model deployment, monitoring, and adaptation to ensure the robustness and reliability of the system in dynamic home environments. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct experiments using a prototype implementation deployed in real-world households. We measure performance metrics such as accuracy, responsiveness, energy savings, and user satisfaction to assess the practical viability of the proposed system. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in home automation capabilities compared to traditional rule-based approaches, highlighting the potential of IoT and ML integration in shaping the future of smart homes.
The Philosophy of Social Life in the ‘Ayniyah’ of Abu Dhu’aib al-Hudhali
Authors: Mohammed Dr. Ammar Hazem
Published: April 2024

“The manifestations of living and the philosophy of daily life, which are dispersed throughout the odes of Abu Dhu’aib al-Hudhali, represent a model that reflects the philosophy of social life and the general vision that can reveal the poet’s philosophy in dealing with all the details of the material and spiritual life of the pre-Islamic era. This life was associated with everything that can be found in the description of death and life, and the relationship with both the silent and active nature, as well as the geography that forms a space carrying all the cultural connotations presented by it as an icon that can emulate what the pre-Islamic poet feels and his vision of the Bedouin world and its values.”
Modes Analysis in Step Index Fibers
Authors: Gafel Sukina T.
Published: April 2024

The modes are solutions of Maxwell's equations depending on boundary conditions of the waveguide (step-index fiber with 1 n = n2 for core and 2 n = n for cladding). In this paper, the general characteristic equation was deduced. This equation was used to determine modes TE, TM, and the hybrid modes EH and HE. Also, the linear polarization modes of the weakly guiding approximation 1 2 n = n were illustrated. The results proved that: the mode spot size, the propagation constants, the eigenvalues, and the nonlinearity depend on the mode order and the normalized frequency. Thereafter, the simulation proved that the number of modes is related to the normalized frequency in a quadratic function.

Authors: Attia Salim J.
Published: April 2024

The process of detection and segmentation of cells is considered in digital optical images of human breast tissue as important base to diagnose the diseases. The major features of malignancy are related with the cells. It is therefore essential to operate a segmentation of the image, to isolate the cells from the rest of image, i. e., from other tissue components, and from some other undesirable elements of images. The recognition process includes a segmentation algorithm based on an adaptive imaging threshold procedure that is sensitive to local ranges in pixel intensity (minimum-maximum values). The statistical features are extracted from the images of cells like median, mode, mean and standard deviation. Then the fuzzy logic method is applied to detect breast cancer

No-reference measurement of blurring artifacts in images is a difficult problem in image quality assessment field. In this paper, we present a no-reference blur metric to measure the quality of the images. These images are degraded using Gaussian blurring. Suggestion method depends on developing the Mean of Locally Standard deviation and Mean of the image (MLSD) model, this method is called Blur Quality Metric (BQM) and it calculates from numerical integral of the function in this model. And the BQM is compared with the No-reference Perceptual Blur Metrics (PBM) and the Entropy of the First Derivative (EFD) Image; the BQM is a simple metric and gives good accuracy in metrics the quality for the Gaussian blurred image if it compared with another algorithms.

White blood cells are the fundamental viable defense barrier in the body immune system against foreign bodies such as bacteria parasites viruses. All types of leukocytes have the ability to produce reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen 1O2 , super oxide .O2 , hydroxyl radical OH and hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in the process of Phagocytosis and respiratory burst . When leukocytes exhibit respiratory burst, this process will cause light emitting and this will called Chemiluminescence (CL) .The emitted light is very weak and requires some materials to increase the light intensity for detection. Chemiluminescence (CL) is a new technique used in this study to find out the effect of gamma rays on the white blood cells, as used Luminol to increase the detection of light intensity. Gamma ray will produce free radicals from the excitation reactions with the materials. The somatic damage of radiation may be tolerated if whole body exposure was in a low rate and extended over a long period of time. Sensitivity, resistance and reactive activity of White blood cells (WBCs) will react differently to gamma radiation according to their characteristics and body repair mechanisms. Gamma ray doses have been studies to see it is effect on control and test blood cell samples. This was done under same PH. This will make changing in the CL values.
