Multilayer transparent bendable broadband microwave absorber covering the frequency band near 5 GHz
Authors: Lai Senfeng , Guo Yanpei , Liu Guiyang , Liu Yang
Published: October 2022

A multilayer transparent microwave absorber that possesses a broadband, is bendable, and covers the frequency band near 5 GHz is proposed in this work. The absorber uses three layers of 110 Ω/sq etched patterned indium–tin–oxide-polyethylene terephthalate (ITO-PET) films as the resonant layers. The infinite cycle structure of the absorber is simulated by using the CST STUDIO SUITE. The absorber shows >90% absorption effect in the frequency band 4.16-7.48 GHz and a 99% absorption effect in the band near 5 GHz (4.98-5.83 GHz). Furthermore, by replacing the intermediate medium with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the absorber obtains excellent bendability characteristics.
An Invitation to Formal Power Series
Authors: Sambale Benjamin
Published: October 2022

This is an account on the theory of formal power series developed entirely without any analytic machinery. Combining ideas from various authors we are able to prove Newton’s binomial theorem, Jacobi’s triple product, the Rogers–Ramanujan identities and many other prominent results. We apply these methods to derive several combinatorial theorems including Ramanujan’s partition congruences, generating functions of Stirling numbers and Jacobi’s four-square theorem. We further discuss formal Laurent series and multivariate power series and end with a proof of MacMahon’s master theorem.

Structural spine plasticity: Learning and forgetting of odor-specific subnetworks in the olfactory bulb
Authors: Meng John Hongyu , Riecke Hermann
Published: October 2022

Learning to discriminate between different sensory stimuli is essential for survival. In rodents, the olfactory bulb, which contributes to odor discrimination via pattern separation, exhibits extensive structural synaptic plasticity involving the formation and removal of synaptic spines, even in adult animals. The network connectivity resulting from this plasticity is still poorly understood. To gain insight into this connectivity we present here a computational model for the structural plasticity of the reciprocal synapses between the dominant population of excitatory principal neurons and inhibitory interneurons. It incorporates the observed modulation of spine stability by odor exposure. The model captures the striking experimental observation that the exposure to odors does not always enhance their discriminability: while training with similar odors enhanced their discriminability, training with dissimilar odors actually reduced the discriminability of the training stimuli. Strikingly, this differential learning does not require the activity-dependence of the spine stability and occurs also in a model with purely random spine dynamics in which the spine density is changed homogeneously, e.g., due to a global signal. However, the experimentally observed odor-specific reduction in the response of principal cells as a result of extended odor exposure and the concurrent disinhibition of a subset of principal cells arise only in the activity-dependent model. Moreover, this model predicts the experimentally testable recovery of odor response through weak but not through strong odor re-exposure and the forgetting of odors via exposure to interfering odors. Combined with the experimental observations, the computational model provides strong support for the prediction that odor exposure leads to the formation of odor-specific subnetworks in the olfactory bulb.
Mutagenesis and structural modeling implicate RME-8 IWN domains as conformational control points
Authors: Norris Anne , McManus Collin T. , Wang Simon , Ying Ruochen , Grant Barth D.
Published: October 2022

After endocytosis, transmembrane cargo is differentially sorted into degradative or recycling pathways. This process is facilitated by recruitment into physically distinct degradative or recycling microdomains on the limiting membrane of individual endosomes. Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) mark the degradative microdomain, while the recycling domain is marked by the retromer complex and associated proteins RME-8 and SNX-1. The separation of endosomal microdomains is also controlled by RME-8 and SNX-1, at least in part via removal of degradative component HRS/HGRS-1 from the recycling microdomain. This activity is likely due to recruitment and activation of chaperone Hsc70 on the endosome by the RME-8 DNAJ domain. To better understand the mechanism of RME-8 function we performed a new phylogenetic analysis of RME-8 and identified new conserved sequence features. In a complementary approach, we performed structure-function analysis that identified the C-terminus as important for microdomain localization and likely substrate binding, while N-terminal sequences beyond the known single N-terminal PH-like domain are important for endosome recruitment. Random mutagenesis identified IWN4, and by analogy IWN3, to be important for the autoinhibitory DNAJ domain binding, with IWN3 playing a critical role in HRS uncoating activity. Combining AlphaFold structural predictions within vivomutation analysis of RME-8, we propose a model whereby SNX-1 and the IWN domains control the conformation of RME-8 and hence the productive exposure of the DNAJ domain. Furthermore, we propose that the activation of RME-8 is cyclical, with SNX-1 acting as an activator and a target of RME-8 uncoating activity.
Genome-wide meta-analysis of QTL for morphological related traits of flag leaf in bread wheat
Authors: Du Binbin , Wu Jia , Islam Md. Samiul , Sun Chaoyue , Lu Baowei , Wei Peipei , Liu Dong , Chen Cunwu
Published: October 2022

Flag leaf is an important organ for photosynthesis of wheat plants, and a key factor affecting wheat yield. In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for flag leaf morphological traits in wheat reported since 2010 were collected to investigate the genetic mechanism of these traits. Integration of 304 QTLs from various mapping populations into a high-density consensus map composed of various types of molecular markers as well as QTL meta-analysis discovered 55 meta-QTLs (MQTL) controlling morphological traits of flag leaves, of which 10 MQTLs were confirmed by GWAS. Four high-confidence MQTLs (MQTL-1, MQTL-11, MQTL-13, and MQTL-52) were screened out from 55 MQTLs, with an average confidence interval of 0.82 cM and a physical distance of 9.4 Mb, according to the definition of hcMQTL. Ten wheat orthologs from rice (7) and Arabidopsis (3) that regulated leaf angle, development and morphogenesis traits were identified in the hcMQTL region using comparative genomics, and were speculated to be potential candidate genes regulating flag leaf morphological traits in wheat. The results from this study provides valuable information for fine mapping and molecular markers assisted selection to improve morphological characters in wheat flag leaf.

Artefactos técnicos y disposiciones de género
Authors: Bernabéu Franch Cristina
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se trata de explicar en qué sentido la división sexual del trabajo está originalmente articulada por un conjunto de artefactos técnicos que la determinan y definen. Concretamente, el papel de los artefactos consiste en activar la normatividad de género. Cómo estos activen la norma depende del modo en que la norma interpela a los agentes. Somos evaluables bajo las normas de género por la posición social que ocupamos, según el adscriptivismo, o porque respaldamos subjetivamente la norma, según el voluntarismo. Ambas posiciones tienen parte de razón y pueden ser integradas en una definición disposicional del género, según la cual se puede afirmar que somos sensibles bajo las normas de género en virtud del modo en que habitamos, subjetivamente, la posición social. La relación entre la normatividad de género y los artefactos puede definirse entonces como una activación, por parte de estos, de las disposiciones generizadas.
Tecnologías de representación de las ruralidades queer en el cine: Un conflicto hermenéutico
Authors: Pazos Abel P. , Miranda Suárez María J.
Published: October 2022

Este artículo considera el tema de las tecnologías de representación de las ruralidades queer en el cine. Las autoras llevan a cabo un análisis pormenorizado de la representación de las disidencias sexuales y de género sostenidas en y a través de espacialidades rurales tomando como objeto de estudio tres piezas fílmicas producidas en el estado español durante las últimas dos décadas, a saber, Ander (2009), 80 Egunean (2010) y Elisa y Marcela (2018). A manera de conclusión, el artículo muestra las tensiones entre dos marcos interpretativos desde los que afrontar los ensamblajes en que se relacionan las ruralidades y las disidencias sexuales y de género. Estos son el enfoque de las ruralidades urbanas que produce epistemologías de carácter identitariamente fuerte, y el enfoque de las ruralidades queer que permite leer las representaciones tomadas en cuenta como figuraciones posidentitarias y subversivas de la disidencia.
Dignidad, constructivismo y fuentes de la normatividad: entre las experiencias del daño y las formas de menosprecio
Authors: Aranco Bagnasco Agustín
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se revisa la noción jurídica y moral de dignidad personal, más allá de los enfoques realistas y constructivistas tout court, para llegar a colocar de relieve modos de sufrimiento y experiencias del daño. Las herramientas con las que cuentan habitualmente las perspectivas jurídicas y morales al momento de identificar y juzgar cursos de acción no parecen ser suficientes si fijamos la atención en la fragilidad y la precariedad ontológica que caracteriza a la subjetividad. Indicar la naturaleza relacional de la dignidad, y solventar la perjudicial adherencia entre lo jurídico y lo moral como consecuencia de su empleo, serán objetivos perseguidos en el artículo, al desembarazarse de enfoques realistas o naturalistas y rechazar cualquier atisbo romanticista que no considere las disonancias requeridas para la dignidad o exponga a los menos aventajados ante situaciones injustificadas de poder y dominación.
Semantic Study of Materials on Extremism-Related Crimes through Data from the National Corpus of the Russian Language (Case Study of Comments on the Social Network VKontakte)
Authors: Zuga Oksana
Published: October 2022

The article concentrates on the study of the well-known call-slogan Beet the Jews, save Russia, which was published as a comment to the text in the social network "VKontakte". In the course of a preliminary study, it was found that this statement contains linguistic signs of motivation in the form of a call for active action against a group of people. However, it is not possible to say unequivocally which group of people these actions should be aimed at, since in the analyzed context (text-stimulus + text-reaction) it is possible to have a double understanding of the noun жид ‘Jew, Kike, Yid’: a group of people in relation to their nationality or a group of people, with which the greedy deputy is associated. To answer the question of whether the noun жид could really be used by the author of the disputed text in the meaning of a 'greedy person', data from the Russian national corpus were analyzed in the period from 2002 (herein Law N 114-FZ "On Couneraction of Extimist Fctivities" was enacted) through 2021. Linguistic analysis of the controversial text, analysis of the comments of the author of the controversial text to other stimulus texts, data from the Russian national corpus led to the conclusion that in the analyzed commentary the noun жид is used in the meaning of ‘Jew’. Consequently, the controversial text contains linguistic signs of expressing several types of meaning: humiliation of a group of persons in relation to their nationality; an inherent threat that poses a danger not to the addressee, but to third parties (Jews); inducements in the form of a call for violent actions against a group of persons in relation to their nationality.
CONTRACTUL REGULATION OF RELATIONS IN THE SPHERE OF PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS
Authors: Kovalenko E.Y. , Tydykovа N.V.
Published: October 2022

Contractual regulation is an important direction of non-state influence on the sphere of physical cultureand sports. The contract acts as an effective means of self-regulation and organization of professional sports activities, which provides participants in sports relations with the opportunity to freely coordinate theirinterests and goals, determine mutual rights and obligations aimed at achieving the goal, and is also able tocreate the necessary legal guarantee for the proper protection of the rights of the parties to the contractualobligation. In the article, the authors examined the theoretical positions regarding the use of the contractas a flexible tool for the individual regulation of sports relations, on the basis of which they formulated theconclusion that the civil law contract is the most popular and effective means of non-state regulation of sportsrelations, capable of adequately taking into account the private interests of the parties to the contractualobligation, without violating the requirement to comply with public order
THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR DETERMINING THE OBJECT OF COERCION TO COMMIT A TRANSACTION OR REFUSAL TO COMMIT IT (ARTICLE 179 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION)

Published: October 2022

The reform of Russian criminal law is an objective need due to a number of objective factors. Thisprocess is obviously extremely complex, requiring a deep analysis of the current legislation, the practice ofits application, as well as the position of the doctrine of criminal law. For a long time, Russian legislationwas largely based on constructions borrowed from foreign codes and laws. Currently, Russia has its ownsignificant experience in lawmaking and law enforcement. At the initial stage of improving the criminallaw, it is necessary to build its system, which will determine the model of criminal law protection of certainpublic relations. The structure of the new criminal law should be based on clearly formulated elements ofcrimes based on the analysis of the signs of the object of criminal encroachment. It is the object of the crimethat is the traditional basis of Russian criminal law. In this paper, the author studies the object of coercion tocommit a transaction and, based on the studied theoretical and practical material, comes to the conclusionthat public relations protected by Article 179 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are not limitedexclusively to economic activity, but may arise in other areas, including personal, family relationships. Thisallows us to conclude that it is necessary to formulate responsibility for forcing a transaction in other chaptersof the criminal law.

The priority task of the state and education as a social institution of directed transmission of the valuesof civil society to the youth environment is the development of each young person not only as a highlyqualified professional, but also as a citizen. The problem of organizing counteraction to terrorist activitiesand other destructive phenomena in educational institutions today seems more relevant than ever. But atthe present stage of development of the political and socio-psychological life of our society, there is actuallyno popularization of technologies that will give tools to those who are the bearers of social and state values(official representative of the authorities, journalist, teacher, lecturer), and which, in fact, will work on theformation of social attitudes cultivated by society and the state as positive. Often, those who are entrustedby the state and society with the functions of forming value orientations simply do not know how exactlythey should influence young people. In order for the state and society to be able to resist the negativeinfluences that are now more and more aggressively affecting young people, it is necessary to develop impacttechnologies focused on a persuasive effect, to understand what exactly and at what stages of personalitydevelopment can be formed and cultivated. as an integrated universal and personal value.
RULE OF LAW AND PARLIAMENTARISM: CORRELATION THROUGH THE PRISM OF CONSTITUTIONAL LEGAL THEORY
Authors: Konovalova L.G.
Published: October 2022

The article deals with modern problems of perception and implementation of the basic principle of therule of law through correlation with the constitutional and legal concept of parliamentarism, proposed as alever to improve the efficiency of lawmaking procedures and the formation of an internally stable and fairstate mechanism. Attention is drawn to the practical difficulties of comparing the terms under consideration,associated with different national perceptions of the concept of the rule of law; with the debatable definitionof the justice of the law; with the presence of an often subtle difference between the legal force of a law anda by-law; with the intrusion of the judiciary and executive power into the prerogatives of the legislator; withthe processes of globalization, putting supranational bodies above parliaments; with chaos, inconsistency,irrationality and a significant amount of legal norms, as well as a variety of areas of legal regulation in themodern state. At the same time, the article notes positive trends in the convergence of legal structures ofthe rule of law and parliamentarism, associated with the emergence of legal levers to ensure the reality ofthe rule of law (law), including constitutional justice, supranational bodies; awareness of the inextricablerelationship between the rule of law and the implementation of human rights, the separation of powers,the accessibility and fairness of the court, the responsibility of the authorities; posing the question of theeffectiveness of legislation.
ON THE PROBLEM OF THE ABSENCE OF A REGULATORY AND LEGAL BASE FOR THE SYSTEM OF PREVENTION OF THE SPREAD OF TERRORISM IDEOLOGY IN EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

The problem of organization of countering terrorist activity and other destructive phenomena ineducational institutions today seems more relevant than ever. Throughout the country, there has been anincrease in the statistics of acts of the use of firearms or cold steel in educational institutions (acts of schoolshooting), as a result of which the level of anxiety among students and teachers of educational organizationsthat do not have the opportunity or do not know the rules of conduct in such emergency situations is growing.It can be noted that in the future, such actions can lead to the undermining of the spiritual and moral bondsof society, the weakening of Russia in the domestic political and international arena. Today, within theframework of the hybrid-information war, a massive attack is being carried out on one of the most importantsocial institutions — education.It should be noted that the system for preventing the spread of the ideology of terrorism in educationalinstitutions is not enshrined at the legislative level. This situation is problematic and needs to be resolved.It is the network of universities that can become the flagship of the formation of an anti-terrorist ideologyand skills to counter terrorism and near-terrorist destructive phenomena.
vegetação em evidência na toponímia baiana: os Fitotopônimos no Território de Identidade 23 - da Bacia do Rio Corrente

Published: October 2022

O presente artigo apresenta uma análise dos fitotopônimos encontrados na hidronímia do Território de Identidade 23- Bacia do Rio Corrente. A língua inspira novos caminhos e desempenha, em toda a sociedade, um papel influente, com o intuito de transmitir pensamentos e emoções. A partir da palavra, o homem nomeia e identifica a realidade das coisas que existem. Dessa forma, investigar os recursos lexicais de um grupo contribui para entender a realidade e o aspecto que seus componentes estruturam o mundo que os rodeia. A investigação do léxico toponímico integra o objeto de estudo da Toponímia, um dos ramos da Onomástica, ciência que estuda as designações próprias. Enquanto a Toponímia se dedica ao estudo dos nomes próprios de lugares, a Antroponímia tem por base o estudo dos nomes próprios de pessoas. O presente artigo apresenta uma análise toponímica, cuja finalidade é o exame da origem e do significado dos fitotopônimos encontrados na hidronímia do território supracitado, tendo como intuito promover a elaboração do Atlas Toponímico da Bahia (ATOBAH), um dos projetos do Núcleo de Estudos Lexicais (NEL), com vistas a propiciar as informações a respeito da constituição cultural da localidade apresentada.
Nanocomposite of Ag-Doped ZnO and Ag2O nanocrystals in control of Salmonella Heidelberg biofilms formed in commercial eggs
Authors: Schlemper André Eduardo
Published: October 2022

As Salmonellas spp, são um importante agente causador de Salmonelose em humanos. O controle da Salmonella spp. é importante pois a bactéria ultrapassa a barreira da casca atingindo o embrião e infecta lotes de aves que podem levar a infecção ao ser humano. A desinfecção costuma ser feita por vários sanitizantes, porém com os avanços da nanotecnologia, formas novas e mais eficientes de controle desse agente estão sendo estudadas, como as nanopartículas. Estudos preliminares dessas nanopartículas têm mostrado sucesso de seu uso no controle de microrganismos. A padronização da concentração ideal de uso deste nanocomposto é fundamental para a máxima eficiência no controle de Salmonella spp. Ovos vermelhos oriundos de postura comercial foram comprados no comércio local e tratados em laboratório com as nanopartículas em diferentes concentrações e após 24 horas formaram o biolfilme. Os ovos foram lavados para a retirada das bactérias livres e foi realizado exame microbiológico convencional para isolamento de Salmonella spp. e PCR para identificação das colônias. O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar a eficácia da utilização de nanocompostos de óxido de prata com óxido de zinco dopado com óxido de prata (ZnO: Ag-Ago) em diferentes concentrações na prevenção da formação de biofilmes na casca dos ovos.

O transplante de espermatogônias tronco (SSCs, do inglês Spermatogonial Stem Cell) é uma biotecnologia que consiste na transferência de células tronco testiculares de um doador fértil para um receptor infértil. Essa técnica pode ser aplicada para a produção de machos que gerem uma progênie com características genotípicas do doador selecionado. Especialmente na bovinocultura, tanto de leite como de carne, o transplante de SSCs tem o potencial de substituir a inseminação artificial (IA), além disso, possui outras aplicações como a restauração da fertilidade em homens após o tratamento de câncer, conservação de espécies ameaçadas de extinção e tratamento da infertilidade. Assim, esta revisão tem o propósito de discorrer acerca de uma biotecnologia da reprodução que permite a propagação do valor genético de machos superiores.
