Published: June 2024

Among the enterprises currently operating in Russia, there is a large proportion of industrial buildings with a load-bearing steel frame, in which there are various types of damage received over the years of operation. It is difficult to prevent the appearance of such defects, and given the long time of operation of buildings, many of which were built in the middle of the last century during the era of industrialization, the amount of accumulated damages is increasing. The assessment of the bearing capacity of frames of industrial buildings and structures in the presence of damages must be carried out taking into account the actual weakening of the sections of the bearing elements. Verification calculations of elements and assemblies in accordance with regulatory documents should be carried out according to methods that take into account the weakening of the structure by introducing correction factors. However, in this case, it is impossible to obtain information about the presence of stress concentration in the damaged zone and about the tendency for the development of plastic deformations in it. The results of tests of experimental samples of flange joints, graphs of their displacements and relative deformations are presented. These data can be used both to create finite element models of nodes and calculate them in a non-linear setting, and to analyze the actual stress distribution in the nodes of the frames of multi-storey buildings.

X-Ray Diffraction Study of Lipid Films with ICHPHAN
Authors: Krivandin A. V , Goloschapov A. N
Published: June 2024

The X-ray diffraction technique was used to study oriented films prepared from chloroform solutions of egg phosphatidylcholine, synthetic hybrid antioxidant ICHPHAN-10-C-10 and their mixtures containing 12.5 wt % and 32 wt % ICHPHAN. The air-dry films prepared from phosphatidylcholine and ICHPHAN were multiphase and in addition to non-bilayer lipid phases, they contained a crystalline phase of ICHPHAN. Increasing a degree of hydration of such films contributed to the formation of one lamellar phase containing lipids and ICHPHAN. The formation and disappearance of ICHPHAN crystalline phase in the films upon alteration of their degree of hydration was reversible. Electron density profiles of lipid membranes calculated at ~1.2 nm resolution showed that membrane thickness and lipid hydrocarbon chain ordering decrease in presence of ICHPHAN. The results obtained demonstrate that ICHPHAN can incorporate from crystalline phase into lipid membranes at high concentration.

Published: June 2024

Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule of plants under stressful conditions, and also this molecule can have a toxic effect. This study focused on investigation of a dose-dependent effect of the nitric oxide donor, sodiumμ2-dithiosulphate-tetranitrosyl diferrate tetrahydrate, on the structural state of mitochondrial membranes of epicotyls of pea seedlings. Treatment of mitochondria with 10–8 M of this drug led to thermo-induced structural transitions within the temperature range from 15°C to 21°C and from 30°C to 36°C in the lipid regions, and within the temperature range from 12°C to 15°C and from 27°С to 33°С in preprotein regions of membranes. In the lipid regions of the membranes, the compound exhibited antioxidant activity, leading to accumulation of long unsaturated fatty acids. Treatment of mitochondria with 10–4 M sodium-μ2-dithiosulphatetetranitrosyl diferrate tetrahydrate most likely led to a significant increase of the lipid peroxidation level and membrane lipid phase fluidity.

Authors: Sholar S. A , Stepanova O. A
Published: June 2024

Spectrophotometry was used to investigate the effects of viral lysis on the absorbance properties of microalgal culture Tetraselmis viridis inoculated with virus, and compare them to control (growth of control culture of the microalgal culture without inoculated virus). Some peculiarities of methodological approach to conducting multi-day experiments were brought to attention, taking into the natural titers of algal viruses, equal volumes of the marine microbiota (algal viruses or nutrient medium, microalgal cultures) and conditions (temperature, illumination) in the experiment and control, preventing possible viral contamination of microalgae in the control. It has been established that in the dynamics of experiments during the destruction (lysis) of viral hosts (microalgae cells), an increase in the amount of dissolved organic material is observed.
Stability of Hypotensive Activity in Freeze-Dried Preparations of Dinitrozyl Iron Complexes with Glutathione (“Oxacom”) throughout the Period of Storage for 15 Years at Ambient Temperature
Authors: Vanin A. F , Abramov A. A , Timoshin A. A , Lakomkin V. L , Tkachev N. A
Published: June 2024

It has been demonstrated that “Oxacom”, a freeze-dried preparation, retains, throughout its period of storage in the ampoule in the absence of oxygen for 15 years at ambient temperature, the same hypotensive activity due to the presence of a binuclear form of dinitrosyl iron complex with glutathione. It is suggested that an oxidation reaction where glutathione ligands as constituents of dinitrosyl iron complexes react with the oxygen, the content of which gradually increase in the preparation, could lead to the degradation of these complexes, but it was prevented due to the presence of a considerable amount of free, not included in dinitrosyl iron complexes glutathione molecules in this preparation.

Authors: Fedotchev A. I
Published: June 2024

Research studies conducted over the last years relating to the use of priming or the precedence effect while restoring impaired functions and cognitive rehabilitation of patients in a neurological clinic are analyzed. This paper is about the wide variety of priming, including transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulation, as well as preliminary presentation of acoustic and visual stimuli. The data presented show a wide range of conditions under which specific types of priming can be successfully used in the clinic, taking into account that the number of studies is growing every year. It is thought that the activation of neuroplasticity mechanisms underlies the positive effects of priming in the treatment of various neurological and psychogenic disorders. Based on the results obtained, the present research demonstrates that visual object priming is effective through the procedure of resonance scanning, or LED photostimulation with the frequency gradually increasing in the range of main EEG rhythms.

Omnibus Law Method and Fast-track Legislation Method: A Degradation to Social Justice Value?
Authors: Jefri Jefri , Rustan Ahmad , Ichlas Rudy Iskandar
Published: June 2024

This research is dedicated to the examination of the legislative processes known as Omnibus Law and fast-track legislation, with a specific focus on their alignment with the concept of social justice, as articulated in the fifth principle of Pancasila. The study employs a normative research approach, employing statutory analysis and documentary research techniques, utilizing legal documents such as Law Number 12 of 2011 regarding the Establishment of Laws, Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, and Law Number 3 of 2022 concerning State Capital as its primary sources. The analysis is conducted using qualitative methods, presenting data in a prescriptive manner. The findings of this study indicate that the Omnibus Law framework has been formally incorporated in the Second Amendment to Law Number 12 of 2011 regarding the Establishment of Laws. In contrast, the fast-track legislative process lacks established legal procedures and indicators for law formation, with its constitutional basis being found in the creation of Government Regulations in Lieu of Laws (Perppu). The legislative process is intrinsically linked to the concept of social justice, as its fundamental purpose is to safeguard human rights, in accordance with the principles of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.

Published: June 2024

The existence of an effective legal system for the protection and recovery of victims of sexual violence is important in the context of respect for justice. The problem is the legal protection of victims of sexual violence, and the granting of restitution rights to victims of sexual violence. This type of research includes a legal-normative section which examines theories, concepts, legal principles and legal provisions that are appropriate and relevant to the subject of the research. This research uses qualitative methods and case methods. In addition, the data obtained will be processed qualitatively and presented in descriptive form. In conclusion, legal protection for victims of sexual violence in Indonesia is regulated in Law Number 31 of 2014 concerning Protection of Witnesses and Victims. Victims of criminal acts have the right to receive compensation, compensation for loss of income or property. By providing the right to restitution to victims of sexual violence in Indonesia, it is clear that restitution or compensation recognizes the victim's suffering and provides adequate restitution. However, there are differences in policies regarding restitution for victims of sexual violence in Malaysia. Currently there is no law that clearly regulates this aspect. This condition can cause victims to feel insecure and have difficulty identifying their pain. Therefore, special attention must be paid to improving restitution rules to better guarantee the rights of victims of sexual violence.

The potential for resolving the identified contradiction lies in the development of pedagogical and methodological techniques  focused  on  the  inclusion  of  modern  digital  tools  in  the  educational  process  in  order  to develop higher-order cognitive skills in graduate students and optimize research processes related to working with English-language scientific literature. A concept of a course for teaching graduate students a foreign language using digital tools based on neural networks is proposed.
Impact and mechanisms of drag-reducing polymers on shear stress regulation in pulmonary hypertension
Authors: Wang Yali , Ye Qing , Cui Yongqi , Wu Yunjiang , Cao Sipei , Hu Feng
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND:

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a refractory disease characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and resistance. Drag-reducing polymers (DRPs) are blood-soluble macromolecules that reduce vascular resistance by altering the blood dynamics and rheology. Our previous work indicated that polyethylene oxide (PEO) can significantly reduce the medial wall thickness and vascular resistance of the pulmonary arteries, but the specific mechanism is still unclear.

METHODS:

This study was designed to investigate the role and mechanism of PEO on intracellular calcium [Ca2 +] i and cytoskeletal proteins of endothelial cells (ECs) induced by low shear stress (LSS) in PH. Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells (PAECs) were subjected to steady LSS (1 dyn/cm2) or physiological shear stress (SS) (10 dyn/cm2) for 20 h in a BioFlux 200 flow system. Calcium influx assays were conducted to evaluate the mechanisms of PEO on [Ca2 +] i. Subsequently, taking the key protein that induces cytoskeletal remodeling, the regulatory light chain (RLC) phosphorylation, as the breakthrough point, this study focused on the two key pathways of PEO that regulate phosphorylation of RLC: Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathways.

RESULTS:

Our current research revealed that PEO at LSS (1 dyn/cm2) significantly suppressed LSS-induced [Ca2 +] i and the expression level of transient receptor potential channel 1(TRPC1). In addition, ECs convert LSS stimuli into the upregulation of cytoskeletal proteins, including filamentous actin (F-actin), MLCK, ROCK, p-RLC, and pp-RLC. Further experiments using pharmacological inhibitors demonstrated that PEO at the LSS downregulated cytoskeleton-related proteins mainly through the ROCK and MLCK pathways.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study considered intracellular calcium and cytoskeleton rearrangement as entry points to study the application of PEO in the biomedical field, which has important theoretical significance and practical application value for the treatment of PH.
Design of an international trade target supplier evaluation system based on CART algorithm
Authors: Liu Rui
Published: June 2024

International trade, as an important component of economic exchange between countries, is of great significance for the economic development of each country and international cooperation. In international trade, the selection and evaluation of suppliers has always been a key issue. To ensure the smooth progress of trade and the controllability of quality, it is necessary to establish a target supplier evaluation system. This article used the CART (Classification and Regression Tree) algorithm to help identify and analyze the impact of key factors on supplier evaluation and classify and evaluate suppliers. The international trade target supplier evaluation system based on the CART algorithm was also constructed, and its performance was tested in the experimental section and compared with the international trade target supplier evaluation system based on traditional algorithms. According to the experimental results, it can be concluded that both the traditional algorithm and the CART algorithm performed well in terms of application effectiveness and system user satisfaction. In terms of application effectiveness, the average score of traditional algorithms was 4.3, with a rating range of 3.8 to 4.9, while the average score of the CART algorithm was 4.6, with a rating range of 4.2 to 5.0. The satisfaction rating of system users on the CART algorithm was slightly higher than that of traditional algorithms, indicating that the CART algorithm has better application effectiveness and user satisfaction in the design of international trade target supplier evaluation systems. The design of an international trade target supplier evaluation system based on the CART algorithm can also help enterprises reduce trade risks and improve the stability and reliability of the supply chain. It has important practical significance and application value for further promoting the development of international trade.

Published: June 2024

The role of the cerebellum in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), typically a prodromal stage of Alzheimer’s disease, is not fully understood. We studied the lobule-specific cerebello-cerebral connectivity in 15 cognitively normal and 16 aMCI using resting-state functional MRI. Our analysis revealed weaker connectivity between the cognitive cerebellar lobules and parietal lobe in aMCI. However, stronger connectivity was observed in the cognitive cerebellar lobules with certain brain regions, including the precuneus cortex, posterior cingulate gyrus, and caudate nucleus in participants with worse cognition. Leveraging these measurable changes in cerebello-parietal functional networks in aMCI could offer avenues for future therapeutic interventions.
Climate Change Impact on Migration Situation in Coastal Delta Belt of Bangladesh: A Qualitative Explorative Study
Authors: Barua Prabal , Saha Ashim Kumar
Published: June 2024

Climate change is one kind of erratic behaviour and hazards of environmental consequences such as floods, flash floods, drought, heat & cold waves, cyclones, high and low tides, river bank erosion, salinity intrusion, etc. The household survey and qualitative study approaches were performed to explore the changes in vulnerable peoples’ ecological migration perspective in disaster-affected southern part of Bangladesh. People usually move to the nearest town and peri-urban areas to seek jobs due to concurrent cyclones, storm surges, and floods in the coastal areas. Again, heavy rainfall and flash-flood conditions usually create intra-district temporary migration to maintain their daily livelihood smoothly. In the char lands, this migration takes place due to riverbank erosion where family members were forced to relocate to a new residence. It occurs when the income-generating activities of people are disrupted by ecological events. Families leave their homes during the disaster period and return, once the conditions are back to normal. Movement for rural people needs constant land management systems including governance, ownership rights and access and technical support for financing land use and making productive use of land to cope with frequent natural calamities. The government of Bangladesh therefore must consider these challenges and gradually improve its capacity to prepare its technology to renovate the vulnerable local people into a climate resilient one.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 and to understand the challenges faced and coping mechanism adopted among fishermen community from the coastal area of Karnataka. METHODOLOGY: This community-based mixed-methods study included participants from a coastal Karnataka fishermen’s community. Questionnaire based personal interviews collected information on sociodemographics, COVID-19 diagnosis, treatment, and related costs, COVID-19-appropriate behavior and were screened using DASS-21. Focus group discussions and key informant interviews were conducted to acquire qualitative data. RESULTS: Quantitative data collection involved 107 participants, predominantly males [70.1%], aged between 46–60 years [37.4%] and low socioeconomic status [79.4%]. Among 107, 51 participants reported to have probable COVID-19 symptoms. Around 11% had tested for COVID-19 and two were admitted in hospital with mean hospital stay of seven days. According to DASS-21, 20.6%, 15.9% and 9.3% of participants screened positive for depression, anxiety and stress respectively. Nearly one third of the participants were found to have significant socioeconomic impact.Major challenges faced included loss of livelihood, inaccessibility to health care, repayment of loans, stigma related to COVID-19 and meeting educational expenses of children with one dropping out of college. Activities of local self-help groups in the community and grass root level marketing strategies to sell fish were highly successful in mitigating the impact as a community. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 had a significant impact on fishermen community and implies a need for better pandemic and disaster preparedness strategies in the community.
How Effective are Tabletop Role-Playing (Serious) Games in Understanding and Validating the Predictive Capabilities of Disaster Response Agent-based Models?
Authors: Amakama Nimisingha Jacob , Duserre Gilles , Cadiere Axelle , Schuette R. Wade , Zacharewicz Gregory
Published: June 2024

Tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs) for disaster response management are collaborative exercises in which participants take on the roles of characters and are guided by a “game master.” TRPGs are useful tools for training, improving the preparedness of emergency responders, and understanding/validating agent-based models (ABMs). This study evaluated the knowledge of participants and assessed the effectiveness of utilizing TRPGs in validating a NetLogo model. The central components of the ABM were transformed into a Disaster Response Tabletop Role-Playing Game (DRTRPG). Medical doctors and master’s students were divided into two groups and participated in the exercise based on defined disaster response strategies. Multiple pre- and post-assessment tests were used to evaluate each group's knowledge, while a performance scoring matrix was used to generate data from in-game activity. The data were analyzed using Pandas and MS Excel data analytical tools. Pre- and post-assessment test results (n = 8) revealed 11.5% and 3.1% increases in the knowledge of disaster and healthcare decision-making, respectively, among medical doctors and students. A visual comparison between the ABM and DRTRPG results revealed partial model validity. However, the statistical comparison showed clear variation in the outcomes. The “alternate” policy strategy resulted in better disaster response outcomes. The design and implementation of the DRTRPG resulted in a collaborative understanding and communication of the ABMS model with promising results. However, there were significant differences between the two methodologies, highlighting the challenge of validating the predictive ability of ABMS using RPGs.

Indonesia is an EMDEs (Emerging Market and Developing Economies) country, and adopting an open economy causes foreign capital flow, especially FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and PI (Portfolio Investment) can be free flows, and its movements are unpredictable. The movement of capital flows will affect the money supply transmitted to monetary and macroeconomic variables. This study aims to determine the response and contribution of macroeconomic variables to FDI and PI, as well as examining the causality between macroeconomic variables, FDI and PI. This research used the Vector Error Correction Model Granger Causality. The results show that exchange rate and inflation shocks significantly impact FDI and PI. While the results of Granger causality, changes in macroeconomic variables cause changes in FDI and PI. This research recommends that stakeholders continue implementing policy mix and monetary policy to improve exchange rates and inflation stability. In addition, the management of capital flows is still considered because the potential risks posed to the economy are quite large

Grounded in a quantitative methodology, the study adopted the survey method to systematically unravel the multifaceted dimensions of the economic crisis and financial inclusion in Africa. The study was anchored on both Monetarist and Keynesian models. A sample size of 350 participants was studied, using a purposive sampling technique. The study discovered that cultural, technological, and regulatory limits all significantly contribute to the economic crisis, which is evidenced by the high rate of currency devaluation in Africa, high rates of inflation in the price of goods, and economic downturns. Thus, the paper recommends that fin-tech companies, appropriate technology applications, and advancements in online payments could potentially save this predicament. The paper further recommends that the government should enact regulatory changes that lower entrance barriers for financial institutions, support innovation, and safeguard consumers to advance financial inclusion.

Examining the mediating role of financial behavior on the relationships between financial literacy, financial attitudes, business performance, and the sustainability of MSMEs in Jayapura City is the aim of this study. It is anticipated that the analysis will serve as a helpful guide for the next studies. This study is quantitative in nature and tests hypotheses using a descriptive methodology. The way that data is gathered is through distributing questionnaires. One tool for data analysis methods is WarpPLS analysis. The findings showed that as a mediating variable between financial literacy and company performance, financial management behavior has a big impact on the sustainability of businesses. This indicates that MSME owners in Jayapura City are aware that taking financial literacy-related actions will assist the long-term viability of their company. Nevertheless, financial management behavior characteristics are unable to moderate the relationship between financial attitudes toward company sustainability among MSME actors in Jayapura City. It is anticipated that similar future studies can be conducted with a moderation or intervention approach and apply wider data, for example, in provinciallevel areas, to create conclusions that are more applicable to the expansion of MSMEs in other locations

Generally, food delivery services like GrabFood act as couriers, transporting consumer needs from restaurants or stores directly to their doorsteps. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has further revolutionized this convenience, allowing people to order meals and other goods from the comfort of their homes. This research investigates how AI is utilized to influence customer purchase intentions on GrabFood. The study examines the impact of six independent variables: instant food delivery, estimated delivery time, customized food recommendations, interactivity, cashless payment methods, and consumer behavior. These variables are analyzed in relation to the dependent variable – the customer's intention to use GrabFood. To gather data, an online survey was conducted with 100 respondents. The collected data was then verified using SPSS software. The findings revealed that delivery speed is a key driver, with both instant delivery and estimated delivery time showing a significant positive correlation (β = 0.457) with purchase intention. However, other features like personalized recommendations (β = 0.174), cashless payment methods (β = 0.119), and user interaction (β = -0.188) did not significantly impact user decisions. These findings require further exploration to understand user preferences for these features
Determination of rational parameters of the logistics chain in the process of customer service in international transportation

In this paper, we propose technological principles for determining rational parameters of the supply chain in order to establish a balance between demand and supply for goods in the chain links under conditions of variable demand and optimisation of total costs for all cargo delivery participants, which will affect the final cost of goods to customers. For the experimental research of the supply chain functioning, the forecast values of demand were determined based on the study of demand trends. As a result of the research conducted using mathematical modelling, regularities of the influence of supply chain parameters on the total costs of delivery participants have been established and rational parameters of the supply chain for consumer goods customers in international connections have been determined, minimising additional costs and ensuring a minimum level of total costs. The positive results of the economic effect estimate demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solutions.

Einleitung: Die Hornhauttransplantation ist eine Operation, bei der ein krankes Stück der Hornhaut eines Patienten durch eine gesunde Hornhaut ersetzt wird, um das Sehvermögen zu verbessern oder Augenperforationen zu korrigieren. Mit dem Fortschritt von Studien, Wiederbelebungstechniken und lebensunterstützenden Maßnahmen wurde die Gehirnaktivität zum Kriterium für Leben und Tod des Individuums, wodurch der Tod an neurologische Kriterien gebunden wurde. Die Pflege von Patienten mit Hirntod, potentiellen Hornhautspendern, ist eine komplexe Tätigkeit, die von einem multiprofessionellen Team in einer Intensivstation für Erwachsene durchgeführt wird. Durch die Systematisierung der Pflege im Arbeitsumfeld stellt die Pflegekraft sicher, dass die Pflegequalität dauerhaft erhalten bleibt. Ziel: Anwendung der Systematisierung der Pflege gemäß der NANDA-Taxonomie bei Patienten mit Hirntod zur Erhaltung der Hornhaut dieses potentiellen Spenders. Methode: Es handelt sich um eine Integrative Literaturübersicht. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte in drei Phasen: Überprüfung der Schlüsselwörter, Gewinnung der Stichprobe und Synthese der Daten. Ergebnisse und Diskussion: 12 Artikel trugen positiv zur Forschung bei und präsentierten Themen wie: Verlust des potentiellen Spenders aufgrund mangelnder Pflege und Notwendigkeit der Systematisierung der Pflege; Strategien zur frühzeitigen Diagnose von Hirntod und die Bedeutung eines unterstützenden Komitees. Nach der Lektüre und Identifizierung ergaben sich in der Forschung Kategorien, die die Bedingungen für die Organspende und das Gewebespenden zufriedenstellend aufzeigten. Schlussfolgerung: Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass in der Intensivstation Protokolle zur Systematisierung der Pflege fehlen, was zu einem Rückgang der Hornhauttransplantationen führte, bedingt durch das Fehlen frühzeitiger Strategien zur Diagnose von Hirntod.
