How can teacher educators benefit from participating in a transient
transnational community?
Authors: Oesterle Mareike
Published: July 2022

In the professional landscape of today’s teacher education, the on-going
expansion of activities into a global and digital context has provoked a
significant change of the traditionally stable and well-established
communities in higher education (Czerniawski, 2018; Sachs, 2001). Teacher
education today needs to prepare students for changing tasks and roles in
increasingly digital and dynamic societies. Teacher educators need to be
able to teach future teachers how to prepare their students to actively
participate in such societies. The engagement in transnational networks and
third-party funded projects, such as the proPIC project, is becoming
steadily more important. In recent years, teacher educators have relied more
and more on international partnerships. However, as Swennen and White (2021)
describe, there is still a gap of systematic research focusing on
communities within and outside their own institutions, as well as detailed
knowledge of how they work and collaborate. Looking at the complex
challenges that teacher educators face, this gap is considerable. Based on
an in-depth literature review, four main challenges can be
identified.
proPIC student vignettes

Published: July 2022

Up to this point, chapters in this volume have reflected on the proPIC
Europa project primarily through the experiences and views of the educators
involved. However, a major element of the project was the active and
constant involvement of pre-service teachers in the study programme (see
Hoinke & Clausen, 2022, Chapter 3 this volume). Throughout the project,
142 students took part and helped develop various outputs and resources.
Moreover, the students contributed to our research agenda by giving their
feedback, allowing us to record various sessions and meetings, and by
producing a great number of diverse essays and papers. Then, towards the end
of the project, students from all cohorts and all partner institutions were
invited to contribute a short essay detailing an aspect of the project which
had impacted their studies, their practice, and their professional
development. Primarily, the students either reported on their own individual
experiences in becoming a part of this transnational endeavour or presented
and discussed the findings and results of their own research projects, which
they worked on during the proPIC project...

Authors: RAFATIAN Zeinab , ZANDI-SOHANI Nooshin , YARAHMADI Fatemeh
Published: July 2022

Aenasius bambawalei Hayat, 2009 is one of the most effective natural enemies of Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, 1898. The sublethal effects of dimethoate, imidacloprid, and thiodicarb on the functional response of A. bambawalei to different densities of third instar nymphs of P. solenopsis were evaluated under laboratory conditions. Young females were exposed to the insecticides and then introduced to the host densities of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 for 24 h. The results revealed a type III functional response in control and insecticide treatments. The handling time and maximum attack rates of A. bambawalei females were adversely affected by insecticides. The longest handling time and the lowest value of maximum attack rate were observed in thiodicarb treatment, 5.03 h and 4.76, respectively. Therefore, for the simultaneous application of biological and chemical control of P. solenopsis, the influence of insecticides on the functional response behavior of natural enemies must be evaluated.
The usage of beneficial insects as a biological control measure in large-scale farming - a case study review on Trichogramma spp.
Authors: IVEZIĆ Aleksandar , TRUDIĆ Branislav , DRAŠKIĆ Gordon
Published: July 2022

Large scale crops like maize, soybean, wheat and rice have changed the ecosystems worldwide, causing a major impact on global agricultural diversity. Intensive farming includes wide range of synthetic substances which are very often applied irrationally and excessively. Given the prevalence of large-scale farming in world agriculture, it is necessary to begin the transition from conventional crop protection to integrated pest management (IPM) in these agroecosystems. One of the most important components of IPM are biological control measures with augmentative release of commercially available species of the genus Trichogramma Westwood, 1833 (Hymentoptera: Trichogrammatidae) as potentially successful and environmentally friendly methods. Besides Trichogramma, many other beneficial organisms are constantly being tested as potential biocontrol agents such as Chrysopa spp. (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and Orius spp. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). Minimizing the use of chemicals and replacing them with biological plant protection is fully in line with the agriculture development strategy and confirmed to be achievable in practice. It is especially important to apply such tactical decisions in the production of large-scale crops, which, at the same time, represent the biggest polluters of the environment as well.

The accumulation of vitamin C in sweet cherry fruits depends on the variety and environmental conditions. The aim of our research was to substantiate the rate of impact of weather factors as well as of varietal features on vitamin C accumulation in sweet cherry fruits. The varieties ʹKazkaʹ and ʹZabutaʹ, ʹKordiaʹ and ʹMirazhʹ were chosen as the best ones from among 33 varieties of early, medium and late term of ripening (7.31–10.67 mg 100 g-1) according to the average content of vitamin C in sweet cherry fruits. The studies found that the environmental conditions of the research years had the largest impact on the vitamin C content in the fruits of late and early ripening varieties, and in the fruits of medium ripening variety the vitamin C amount depended on the varietal features. The practicability of forecasting of vitamin C content in sweet cherry fruits on the average indices for a group of early and late maturity varieties, but not separately for every pomological variety, has been proven. For the medium ripening variety this index can be forecasted within each pomological variety. The models of dependence of vitamins C accumulation on the impact of meteorological parameters were evaluated on the basis of the principle components analysis and the least square method.

Published: July 2022

The technology of production of baking products today can not be imagined without the use of food additives. In this research it was aimed to investigate the use of some additives in wheat flour type 500 for bread production. The formulations and additives used in this study are: without additives for M0, emulsifiers (E 472e) for M1, calcium phosphate (E341 ii) for M2, L-ascorbic acid (E300) for M3 and Damil additive complex (antifouling E170 - 0.06 %; emulsifier E472e -0.08 %; antioxidant E300 -0.01 %; fungal a-amylase - 0.01 %) for M4 formulation. The results showed that the use of additives positively affects some rheological qualities such as water absorption capacity, stability and energy of the dough. M4 bread had a higher specific volume than all breads with 5.14 cm 3 g-1, while M1 and M3 breads were similar. From the total points accumulated for the sensory qualities the M4 bread with a total of 88.8 points accumulated had the best qualities with volume, external appearance and very good crust and crumb taste. It is therefore recommended to use the Damil additive complex in bread production.
Conscience musicale du français langue parlée : éléments pour son conditionnement didactique
Authors: Aubin Sophie
Published: July 2022

Musical awareness of languages in general and that of the French language in particular in the field of teaching French as a foreign language remains weak today, not generalized and far inferior to linguistic and cultural awareness. By placing oneself within the framework of the didactology-didactics of the music of the French language-culture, it appears that modes of conditioning of this spontaneous, intuitive and reflected musical consciousness can logically take their place in accordance with the fundamental existence of the music of the French language produced in the spoken mode and of the need for the learner to master it.
Cross-linguistic awareness in an English L4 education setting: Discovering language-specific phenomena in unrelated languages
Authors: Irsara Martina
Published: July 2022

This article shows how deixis and motion events prove to be ideal topics in the stimulation of reflection and enhancement of cross-linguistic awareness among South-Tyrolean speakers of Ladin, who learn English as a fourth language after Italian and German. The initial part of the article illustrates how a translation task that was focused on locative adverbials led students at upper-secondary school to recognise the extreme complexity of their own Ladin L1 adverbial system as compared to the more straightforward binary deictic system of English. The subsequent section shows how secondary-school and university students realised their difficulties in lexicalising motion events in English, arguably due to the different typological tendencies of other languages they learn or have learnt. The video clips that the study participants were asked to describe were subsequently integrated into multilingual and multimodal awareness-raising classes at primary school and in teacher education, where awareness-raising activities are fundamental.
Professional identity of a French language teacher in Poland: constancy vs. change, sameness vs. difference, agency
Authors: Werbińska Dorota
Published: July 2022

Studies conducted on teacher identity have mostly focused on preservice language teachers. By contrast, this study looks at the professional identity of a veteran teacher of French as a foreign language in Poland. It describes a two-stage biographic study in which the narratives obtained are subjected to semantic deconstruction with the application of Bamberg’s (2010) model of identity. To this end, the author investigates: 1) what is constant and what changes in the participant’s professional career in terms of the emotions she experiences, 2) what are the similarities and differences between the teachers she refers to and herself, 3) what is the role of agency in the participant’s professional decisions. Through the analysis, the Author seeks to find out with what content Bamberg’s identity pillars may be filled, what teacher emotions and feelings can be inferred from what is said, and what insights can be gained into the identity of a French language teacher in Poland.

Published: July 2022

This study analysed sawnwood value chain in Ulanga District and Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania, focussing on mapping of actors, determining profit at each node and examining factors influencing profitability among actors along the sawnwood value chain. Both qualitative and quantitative
data were collected. A sample of 66 respondents were interviewed (26 producers and 11 wholesalers from Ulanga districts and 29 retailers from Morogoro Municipality) from four wards based on their market relationship. Content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data and sub-sector mapping
was employed to map sawnwood value chains. Profit margin analysis and multiple regression models were used to analyse quantitative data. Results indicated that there were various actors in the sawnwood value chain with the major ones being sawnwood producers, wholesalers/transporters, retailers
and consumers as well as service providers. The profit accrued along the value chain is comparable among retailers and wholesalers, who also play the role of transporters, while producers benefit less from the sawnwood value chain. The results indicated that producers, wholesalers/transporters
and retailers take 15.5%, 38.5% and 46.3% of the total profit, respectively. Regression analysis indicated that price, quality of sawnwood and the initial capital influenced actors' profit. It is recommended that sawnwood producers should be organized and pool their capital in order to increase
their competitiveness in sawnwood markets.

Published: July 2022

To highlight the ecosystem value of trees in the urban environment an EU's funding instrument for the environment and climate action – LIFE Project – was undertaken involving four Mediterranean cities as study cases: Thessaloniki in Greece, Cascais in Portugal, and Perugia
and Bologna in Italy. The methodology utilized to evaluate plant carbon storage and shade areas highlighted the usefulness of gathering data about both the current urban green asset in the Project's investigated areas and future potential performances of the same asset to evaluate its efficiency
in the forthcoming decades (2030–2050). The lower future potential of some cities for CO2 storage can be attributed to having older 'green assets' in comparison to other municipalities. A projection over the next 30 years on the basis of census results in the 4 studied areas
highlighted the potential of some green areas characterised by the presence of efficient carbon storage tree species (high-growing broadleaf plants) while still small in size.
The main objective of this study was to present both the current urban green asset carbon storage potential
in the studied areas and also its future potential efficiency. Another aim of the work was to develop tree growth curves in urban areas, not only to estimate tree volumes but also to estimate the present and future shade areas related to woody plants' presence.
With regard to CO2
storage simulation, the research highlighted the potential of green areas in Perugia that present tree species particularly efficient at carbon storage yet still small in size. Conversely, the lowest value presented by the species recorded in Cascais was influenced by the predominance of
Cupressus sempervirens and Pinus pinea : two species not particularly efficient and large in size with average DBH values above 50 cm.

Published: July 2022

The comprehensive performance of the Lesy ČR and Lesy SR forest enterprises was evaluated three decades after the separation of the Czech and Slovak Republics. Implementation of the overarching goal of sustainable forest management was studied using the criteria and indicators
approach of the theory-based 3L Model. Quantitative and qualitative data, collected from 2016 to 2019 by means of surveys (face-to-face interviews and questionnaire), document analysis and observation, show similarities and differences between two enterprises that have completely different
business models: concessions (Lesy ČR) vs. management by state organisation (Lesy SR). Both enterprises focus intensely on sustaining forest stands (rooted in strong state regulation), though guaranteeing sustainability within the state forest entrusted to the Lesy ČR entails
great risk. Despite growing public pressures, both enterprises have a rather weak orientation toward non-market demand. In addition, their political role is weak and no great effort is devoted to innovation (new forest goods). Furthermore, the economic performance of the enterprises studied
reveals a big difference: Lesy ČR generates an incomparably high profit, not only when measured against Lesy SR but also against other European state forest enterprises.

Published: July 2022

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic arthritic disease characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone lesions. The studies on the pathogenesis of OA are complex and diverse. The roles of receptors signaling in chondrocyte anabolism, inflammatory factors expression of synovial fibroblast, and angiogenesis in subchondral bone are particularly important for exploring the pathological mechanism of OA and clinical diagnosis and treatment. By reviewing the relevant literature, this article elaborates on the abnormal expression of receptors and the signaling transduction pathways from different pathological changes of OA anatomical components, aiming to provide new research ideas and clinical therapeutic value for OA pathogenesis.
Unsaturated polyester resin modified with a novel reactive flame retardant: effects on thermal stability and flammability
Authors: Wu Piye , Peng Yongzhi , Zhang Xiaomeng , Zhang Gang , Ran Jiabing , Xu Man
Published: July 2022

A new reactive flame retardant (DTA), containing phosphaphenanthrene and triazine-trione groups was synthesized and applied to improve the flame retardancy of unsaturated polyester resin. The thermal stability, flame retardancy and combustion behaviors of UP/DTA thermosets were detected by thermogravimeric analysis (TG), limited oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning (UL94) test and cone calorimeter test. According to the research results, the addition of DTA contributed to improving the flame retardancy of UP. After adding 20 wt% DTA, the LOI of UP composite increased from 19.0% of the neat UP to 26.6%, and UL94 rating reached V-0. In addition, compared with pure UP, the peak heat release rate (pk-HRR), average heat release rate (av-HRR) and total heat release rate (THR) of UP/DTA-20 thermosetting material decreased by 44.0, 26.2 and 29.5%, respectively. In the gaseous phase, DTA decomposed to generate nitrogen-containing fragments with diluting effect and phosphorus-containing free radicals with quenching effect to inhibit the combustion. In the condensed phase, phosphaphenanthrene group of DTA decomposed to generate phosphorus-based compounds, which promoted the carbonization of the UP matrix and cooperated with triazine-trione group to increase the char yield. Therefore, DTA plays an important role in flame retardancy in the gas and condensed phases.

Basil’s Knowledge of Astronomy
Authors: Yam Colten Cheuk-Yin
Published: July 2022

This paper explores Basil’s knowledge of astronomy. It shows that Basil must have learnt astronomy already from his youth. It also demonstrates why and how Basil holds a complex attitude towards astronomy (as shown in Homily in hexaemeron 1 and 6). Finally, by comparing Basil’s knowledge of this science with the astronomical handbook of his time, it argues that Basil has made use of Origen but not lavishly copied him, and the level of his astronomical knowledge did not go beyond Cleomedes’ Caelestia, which is the most elementary astronomical handbook in ancient times.
Solid-state 1H and 13C NMR studies of novel ionic rotator-crystals of [NEt
x
Me(3−x)R][BEt4] (R = Pr, Bu. x = 1, 2)
Authors: Nagai Katsuumi , Honda Hisashi
Published: July 2022

Four new ionic rotator-crystals of [NEt
x
Me(3−x)R][BEt4] (R = Pr, Bu; x = 1, 2) were observed. Rotator crystals (two-dimensional plastic crystals) are mesophases between solid and isotropic liquid phases. Solid-state 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements revealed that the ellipsoidal cations of [NEt
x
Me(3−x)R]+ undergo uniaxial rotation about their N–R axis and libration motion of the axis, and the anions perform isotropic reorientations in the highest-temperature solid-phase (rotator phase). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements showed small entropy changes of 8–11 J K−1 mol−1 at the melting point of the compounds. These results suggest that the cations and anions have large degrees of freedom of motion in the rotator phase. The diffraction patterns of X-ray diffraction (XRD) could be indexed to the trigonal structure (space group of P31c). Compared with the reported data for [NEt
x
Me(3−x)Pr][BEt3Me] (x = 1, 2) compounds, which also have rotator-crystal phases and transform to a plastic crystalline phase, a model that explains why the cations of [BEt4] salts hardly perform isotropic reorientation in the solid phases was proposed.
No Strain, No Gain? The Role of Strain and Load Magnitude in Human Tendon Responses and Adaptation to Loading
Authors: McMahon Gerard
Published: July 2022

McMahon, G. No strain, no gain? The role of strain and load magnitude in human tendon responses and adaptation to loading. J Strength Cond Res 36(10): 2950–2956, 2022—Transmission of force and energy storage and release are affected by the mechanical properties and morphology of tendons. Therefore, understanding the modulation of mechanical properties through training is key as part of optimizing athletic task performance and rehabilitation. In vivo human tendon adaptation to exercise occurs in a nongraded manner, that is, there seems to be a threshold to which a tendon responds and adapts to mechanical stimuli, whereas below this threshold, minimal or no adaptation is observed. However, this remains controversial as such findings have not always been universal. Modulation of strain magnitude (change in tendon length relative to its original length) or loading intensity (e.g., % 1 repetition maximum or % maximal voluntary contraction) therefore may play a fundamental role in enhancing tendon adaptation. This review outlines the key evidence of these phenomena through direct comparative studies of higher vs. lower strain/load magnitude and indirect noncomparative studies and also explores some of the potential mechanobiological underpinnings of these adaptations. Furthermore, this review outlines practical considerations for exercise prescription using a strain magnitude–based approach and why previous non–strain magnitude–based approaches may have been a confounding factor in load magnitude studies investigating tendon adaptation.
Evaluating Carbon Management Practices of Royal Bank of Canada
Authors: Suzuki Marina , Dargusch Paul , Hill Genia
Published: July 2022

There is a growing recognition that climate change is a global challenge that requires urgent action. Excessive emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are one of the main reasons for the problem. The more GHGs are released into the atmosphere, the more the sun’s heat can be captured by those gases, leading to global warming and other ripple effects. Many countries and companies have begun to take steps to reduce their emissions. Carbon management is a method that enables them to control the release of GHGs. This report will focus on Canada’s largest bank, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), and examine the firm’s carbon management practices towards achieving zero net emissions. This company is strongly involved with other companies’ business through financing and investment as a financial institution, indicating that it has a responsibility for both its own carbon emissions and emissions by companies which it finances or invests. The firm’s emissions mainly come from infrastructure, purchased electricity, business travel, the use of products, employee commuting, financing and investment. This company’s strategy to be carbon neutral consists of the following main pillars: making operations more efficient, helping clients with the transition to net zero, and responsible financing and investment. This report evaluates the carbon management practice of the RBC, suggesting that it needs more implementation of plans and more detailed data collection and analysis regarding its emissions to achieve the goal of net zero.
Physics‐informed machine learning for the COVID‐19 pandemic: Adherence to social distancing and short‐term predictions for eight countries
Authors: Barmparis Georgios D. , Tsironis Giorgos P.
Published: July 2022

Background

The analysis of COVID‐19 infection data through the eye of Physics‐inspired Artificial Intelligence leads to a clearer understanding of the infection dynamics and assists in predicting future evolution. The spreading of the pandemic during the first half of 2020 was curtailed to a larger or lesser extent through social distancing measures imposed by most countries. In the context of the standard Susceptible‐Infected‐Recovered (SIR) model, changes in social distancing enter through time‐dependent infection rates.

Methods

In this work we use machine learning and the infection dynamical equations of SIR to extract from the infection data the degree of social distancing and, through it, assess the effectiveness of the imposed measures.

Results

Quantitative machine learning analysis is applied to eight countries with infection data from the first viral wave. We find as two extremes Greece and USA where the measures were successful and unsuccessful, respectively, in limiting spreading. This physics‐based neural network approach is employed to the second wave of the infection, and by training the network with the new data, we extract the time‐dependent infection rate and make short‐term predictions with a week‐long or even longer horizon. This algorithmic approach is applied to all eight countries with good short‐term results. The data for Greece is analyzed in more detail from August to December 2020.

Conclusions

The model captures the essential spreading dynamics and gives useful projections for the spreading, both in the short‐term but also for a more intermediate horizon, based on specific social distancing measures that are extracted directly from the data.

Published: July 2022

Prosthetic valve thrombosis is the second leading cause of prosthetic valve deterioration and is being more readily diagnosed with the use of echocardiography and multidetector cardiac CT. Presentation of valve thrombosis can be acute or subacute and any change in clinical status of a patient with a prosthetic valve should raise a suspicion of prosthetic valve thrombosis. Diagnosis entails detailed clinical examination and comprehensive imaging. The choice of therapeutic options includes anticoagulation, fibrinolytic therapy, or valve replacement. Antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy remain the mainstay of thrombosis prevention in patients with a prosthetic valve and a personalized approach is required to optimize prosthetic valve function and minimize the risk of bleeding.
Development of Forest Resources in the Eastern Regions of the Soviet Union: Experience of the First Five-Year Plan
Authors: Zykin Ivan V.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The policy of industrialization in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s and early 1940s radically changed the appearance of the country, contributed to the active development of the eastern regions of the country. A major factor in this process has been the availability of large forest resources.

Materials and Methods. The place of the forest industry of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East in the strategy of the first five-year plan (1928–1932), which set the key vectors of the development of the industry, has not been studied enough. The study of the topic based on the concept of modernization is relevant. An analysis of the indicators of the first five-year plan and statistical information on the development of regional timber complexes in the eastern regions of the Soviet Union was undertaken, models of their development are described.

Results. According to the first five-year plan, regional plans, the timber industry complex became a significant component of the macro-region economy. Its development was associated with the implementation of large projects for the construction of enterprises, the industrial development of the eastern regions – primarily the Ural-Kuznetsk plant. A conclusion was made on the planning of the development of the forest industry of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East in the direction of developing new forest areas, combination of machining and deep wood processing.

Conclusions. As a result of the implementation of the first five-year plan, the models of regional timber complexes were adjusted. In particular, in Siberia and the Far East, projects for the construction of pulp and paper enterprises that could contribute to the integrated processing of forest resources were not implemented.
Nuclear Power Industry of the USSR Far East: Plans and Problems of Creating an Industry
Authors: Maklyukov Aleksey V.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The article discusses the plans and identifies the problems of creating a nuclear power industry in the Far East of the USSR in 1960–1991, reveals the historical reasons for the development of regional projects of nuclear power plants, and determines the conditions for their implementation.

Materials and Methods. The study is based on a corpus of unpublished sources, including declassified documents found in federal and regional archives. The study uses a state-centered and regional approach, as well as traditional historical and historical-economic methods.

Results. Planning for the creation of a nuclear power industry in the Far East began in the late 1950s – early 1960s during the preparation of long-term plans for the economic development of the region. In 1966–1976 the first experimental low-power nuclear power plant – Bilibino NPP in Chukotka was built. Since the early 1970s projects of two large nuclear power plants were developed, in the mid-1980s the USSR government included them in the programs of economic development of the region.

Discussion and Conclusion. There were no conditions for the creation of a nuclear power industry in the Far East, when the USSR economy was in crisis. Problems such as the weak construction industry of the Ministry of Energy of the USSR, the material and technical insecurity and underfunding of the facilities it built, the shortage of labor resources and qualified personnel, did not allow the construction of nuclear power plants in the Far East to be launched. In the late 1980s the Far Eastern public after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant negatively perceived such projects. With the collapse of the USSR and the fall of the regional industrial complex, the problem of an acute shortage of energy resources that regional nuclear power plants had to solve was smoothed out. At present, there is no such problem in the energy supply of the Far East.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) makes 85–95% of all malignances in the oral cavity. Increasing evidence shows that the Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) are preferentially associated with some oropharyngeal and OSCCs, namely the genotype 16. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and clinical implications of HPV16 infection in oral squamous cell carcinoma in population of Montenegro.

This study included 60 patients with OSCC (localized on the lower lip, tongue or/and floor of the mouth), surgically treated at the Clinical Centre of Montenegro from 2012 to 2018. Surgically obtained formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens were used for histopathological analysis and HPV16 genome detection using standard Polymerase Chain Reaction (primers for detection of E6 gene). Each individual was further followed up for the period of three years and for different clinico-pathological characteristics, including disease free interval (DFI).

The prevalence of HPV16 infection in OSCCs was 23.3% and the infection was significantly more common in female patients (P = 0.038). No significant correlation was detectable between HPV16 infection and the patients' age (P = 0.302), tumor site (P = 0.125), tumor grade (P = 0.363) and disease stage (P = 0.995). Observing the total sample the DFI was not significantly different for HPV16-positive versus HPV16-negative patients (P = 0.427), but a gender-based difference in DFI was observed, with the significantly shorter DFI (Log Rank test, P = 0.003) in HPV16 positive female patients compared to male patients (P = 0.003).

The results obtained in this study provide scientific evidence for the development of national HPV vaccination program in Montenegro.

Self-regulation in the governance of higher education systems is often assumed to improve institutional performance, accountability, and responsiveness. Although studies of higher education governance have addressed the extent of self-regulation across national systems, there has been less investigation of the links between self-regulation and quality and equity. Nevertheless, the universal adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) commits all countries to equal access to affordable and quality education, including higher education, by 2030. To assess the relationship between self-regulation, quality, and equity, this paper presents a novel higher education self-regulation index trialed using the cases of England, Finland, France, and Germany. The index compares self-regulation, based on the respective national legal and policy frameworks, in core higher education functions: control and evaluation, funding, strategy and structure, personnel, and teaching and research. Each area is analyzed using six conditions reflecting the level of autonomy of an institution which could be met in full, in part or not met and assigned to a proxy number ranging from 0, 0.5 and 1 respectively. Each of these areas is summarized with a level that is either High, Medium, or Low and these are the levels then shown in the composite index. The impact of varying levels of self-regulation in a higher education system on quality and equity is then analyzed. Whereas higher levels of self-regulation do appear to have some impact on quality, the study found that a mix of policy steering, and institutional initiatives are needed to improve equity. Further refinement and testing of the self-regulation index would improve its utility as a tool to support governments and institutions to enhance higher education governance in support of the SDGs.

The chemical composition of pumpkin has always differed from other plants. Given the potential of pumpkin, the possibility of developing a new range of products from it was explored. As a result of the research, the presented recipe was created, where the main components are fermented pumpkin, orange juice, milk powder and pectin. Such a recipe is recognized as more appropriate. Their chemical composition played a key role in the choice of components, so each component performed its respective function. Since pectin was a stabilizer in the product, milk was a protein fortifier, and orange juice was a flavor enhancer and antioxidant.
The addition of orange juice to the finished product increased its vitamin content, and the use of probiotics enhanced the bactericidal effect of the product, which gave it functional nutritional properties. The purpose of developing such a technology was to obtain a high-quality food product, which was achieved on the basis of the complementarity of the selected raw materials and components. From this point of view, studies have shown that the drink prepared according to the proposed recipe meets the accepted regulatory requirements for such products, both in terms of nutritional value and environmental friendliness.
The effect of the types and concentrations of pectic substances on the probiotic properties of the prepared fruit and vegetable drinks was also studied. Products with a better bifidogenic effect can be obtained when using 2 % liquid pectin in the preparation of beverages.
The organoleptic and microbiological analysis of the finished food product showed that this drink can be used both for children and for preventive purposes
Estimating the residual resource of basic structures using a model of fatigue durability under complex loading

This paper reports the construction of a durability model of basic structures, which takes into consideration the complex stressed state under the cyclic action of the complex load. The models that take into consideration this factor are categorized on the basis of equivalent for a certain indicator of the stressed-strained state. The equivalence models based on the tangent stresses and strains have been recognized as the most effective ones. However, they hold when the ratio of the limits of fatigue under tangent and normal stresses exceeds 0.5. In addition, determining the latter requires specific testing equipment. The concept of basic bearing structures for industrial equipment has been formulated. The issue related to the multi-axis fatigue of basic structures was considered from the standpoint of combining the reliability indicators of systems. The durability model has been derived from the rule of combining resource safety indices. The load is represented as a combination of individual subprocesses of simple types of deformation with their amplitudes and asymmetries. A model of durability with multi-axis fatigue has been built, which takes into consideration the parameters of the form of the strain cycle, and the type of process (synphase, disproportionate, unchanging static stress). The possibility of obtaining parameters for the multi-axis fatigue model during tests for three-point bending under conditions of varying the multiplicity of the span has been confirmed. According to this scheme, fatigue tests of prismatic samples of the steels 09G2 and 40X were carried out. For them, the parameters of fatigue resistance were found; additionally, the ratio of the fatigue limit for tangent stresses of displacement and fatigue limits for normal bending stresses, which is equal to 0.385, was established. A test procedure has been devised to determine the initial data for the multi-axle fatigue model, which is suitable for conventional test machines and simple-shape samples. The latter advantage is important precisely for basic structures, from fragments of which it is difficult to fabricate a sample of a complex shape

In Azerbaijan, in addition to natural oil, there are large reserves of it in the form of bituminous rocks. The largest reserves are concentrated in the Balakhani part of the Kirmaki mountain, which are more than 50 million tons.
In order to extract oil from bituminous rocks, various methods are used. Including such methods of extracting oil from bituminous rocks (BR): boiling BR with water without additives and with alkaline type additives; extraction method using various solvents; thermal cracking of BR; flotation method and supercritical fluid extraction. In addition to these, methods of influencing bituminous sands with various physical fields are also used, one of which is the use of ferromagnetic fluids (FMF).
The use of alkali reactive reagent with iron nanoparticles is an improvement of the method for extracting heavy oil components from bituminous rocks and an environmentally friendly innovative technology.
The study of the influence of the magnetic field with tension to 10 A/m on the process of oil extraction from bituminous rocks before and after the use of ferromagnetic fluid showed an increase in oil recovery by 7–8 % and 8–11 %, respectively. Further increase in the external magnetic field strength with the maximum tight bond of the magnetic moment with ferromagnetic particles of nanometer sizes can lead to the appearance of additional tangent stresses caused by the braking of the particle rotation field, the subsequent increase of the effective viscosity of the colloid solution. A numerical method for determining the threshold value of the magnetic field strength has been proposed to analyze this phenomenon, at which the value of the dynamic viscosity of the magnetic fluid is achieved, which is the limit for oil from the field corresponding to the extraction of oil from bituminous rocks.
