One of the main stages of metabolism in the body is the digestibility and digestibility of feed nutrients, the ef-fectiveness of which to a certain extent depends on the use of biologically active substances in diets that have antioxidant properties and have a stimulating effect on vital body functions. An important criterion for choosing feed additives is their environmental safety. An ideal antioxidant should be easily absorbed by the body and prevent the formation of free radicals at physiologically significant levels. Therefore, the use of natural antioxidants, namely carotenoids, is of particular interest. Carotenoids play a different role in the metabolism of fish and are also pronounced antioxidants that protect the body from the action of free radicals. The experience of using the natural antioxidant astaxanthin in feeding tilapia juveniles is considered. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that has a huge impact on the functioning of all systems and overall health. But the practice of its use has not affected mass thermophilic aquaculture species, such as tilapia, whose muscle tissues and caviar are not stained under the action of astaxanthin, and its effect on the physiological status of fish, as well as antioxidant properties have not been studied. It was found that the addition of astaxanthin to the composition of production feeds at a dosage of 20.0; 30.0; 40.0 mg/kg allowed to increase productivity by 38.5; 30.1; 17.03%, respectively, and also had a positive effect on the physiological state of the fish. As a result, after feeding, the indicators of total protein in the experimental variants 1-3 were higher than the control group by 48.3; 41.6 and 31.6%, respectively. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained after the completion of experimental work, a significant increase in the level of hemoglobin concentration in experimental variants 1-3 was established by 1.2-1.3 times, respectively, compared with the control variant.

The histological results of the study of the organs of larvae and mature individuals of the silver crucian carp Carassius auratus gibelio (Bloch, 1782) caught in the reservoirs of the Volga River delta are presented. Analysis the internal organs state and tissues helps to identify physiological disorders and pathologies. Thanks to the histological method, it becomes possible to study the structure of the body at the cellular and tissue level, to determine the development of the pathological process and the degree of damage. For pathomorphological evaluation, the liver, gills, kidneys, spleen, intestines and pancreas were examined in silver crucian carp of different ages. It was established that representatives of this species of different ages had identical pathological changes in the organs, but the degree of their manifestation was different: there was a tendency to increase the intensity of the pathology with age. 4 types of major pathological changes associated with metabolic disorders, necrotic damage to cells and tissues, circulatory disorders of organs and signs of hyperplasia were found. Sexually mature individuals had a higher level of pathological manifestations. To a greater extent, the gills, which are in direct contact with the environment, were damaged. The liver of the studied fish also had significant damage. The most frequently reported liver pathology was lipoid degeneration (vacuolar degeneration). Kidneys, intestines and spleen were characterized by degenerative and necrotic disorders. In the spleen of adults, granulomatous inflammation was found, which indicates infectious diseases. The same types of morphological changes were found in larvae and mature individuals, which indicates the nonspecific nature of the identified pathologies, which, as a rule, are associated with the adaptation of the organism to the prevailing living conditions.

Published: December 2023

An assessment of the impact of emissions from the activities of coal mines on the morphology and physiology of perch (Perca fluviatilis) of the Bolshoe and Stolbovoye lakes of the Sorokaozerki tract in the Altai region of the Republic of Khakassia was carried out. Common perch, along with silver carp, are the predominant species in most fishing lakes of Khakassia. The catch of fish was carried out in 2019, 2021 and 2022, the absence of common perch in the catches of 2022 led to the need to analyze this phenomenon. 20 specimens from each reservoir were examined. The regularities of the correlative growth of their internal organs of fish were taken into account, since the living conditions of animals closely correlate with some of their morphological features. Morphophysiological indicators were studied, namely the liver index of perch (Perca fluviatilis), a comparison of this indicator by age and time of capture was carried out. The average index for each age group was calculated taking into account the arithmetic mean error. It was found that the value of the liver index tends to increase over the period from 2019 to 2021 for all age groups, which may indicate the problem of accumulation of heavy metals in the liver. Samples of the liver of the common perch were examined for the content of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, etc.). The content of lead, arsenic, mercury in the liver of fish does not exceed the MPC. For individual metals (zinc, copper, chromium, iron), there is a large significant excess of MPC: 82% zinc, up to 40% copper, more than 90% chromium, exceeding the MPC of iron by more than 2.4 times.

The human capital assessment methodology adaptation for oil and gas industry enterprises
Authors: Michurina Olga Yurievna , Dubinina Nataliya Aleksandrovna , Karlina Elena Prokofievna
Published: December 2023

Human capital management is one of the most important management subsystems of a modern oil and gas complex enterprise. To systematically monitor it, identify the dynamics of indicators, adjust goals and results at a modern oil and gas enterprise, a comprehensive methodology for assessing human capital should be used as part of the management control function. Despite the fact that oil and gas industry enterprises invest heavily in the development of their personnel and in maintaining their health, their management systems lack control subsystems that allow them to collect and process feedback data from investments in human capital. In most cases, the oil and gas industry enterprises use the calculation of labor indicators, which are scattered and do not give an overall picture, which do not allow tracking the overall dynamics. In order to solve this problem, an attempt has been made to develop a unified methodology for assessing human capital, designed to integrate indicators of development and accumulation of human capital, quickly find bottlenecks, develop corrective actions to optimize the situation, and present a more visual picture to external stakeholders through social reports of oil and gas industry enterprises. The use of the proposed methodology for assessing human capital, integrating it into the reporting of an oil and gas enterprise, will contribute to optimizing the management system of the enterprise as a whole. Each stage of human capital assessment is considered in detail on the example of a large oil and gas industry enterprise Gazprom Pererabotka LLC, the methodology was tested by calculating indicators according to the proposed methodology.

Authors: Gviliya Natalya Alekseevna , Adoussiba Kristian Bidossessi
Published: December 2023

Russia and Africa have a long history of trade relations, including the export and import of various goods and services. In recent years, the ways of cooperation have become more active and diverse. The list of the main African countries – trade and economic partners of the Russian Federation is given. The increase in export supplies from Russia to African countries and the increased interest of African countries in Russian goods and services create new opportunities for the development of mutually beneficial relations. The development of trade and economic cooperation between Russia and Africa in modern conditions has led to the need to create efficient and sustainable logistics routes between these two regions. The relevance of the formation of new logistics routes is substantiated and the potential benefits that they can bring to both sides, including economic growth, strengthening trade ties and increasing competitiveness, are investigated. The key factors influencing the formation of these routes, such as geographical location, infrastructure capabilities, customs procedures, transport networks and communications, are analyzed. Prospects for the development of new logistics routes to the African continent associated with the continuation of the North-South transport and logistics corridor were noted. The challenges and problems that countries face when creating new logistics routes are considered, and recommendations for overcoming them are proposed. The effective formation of new logistics routes between Russia and Africa can potentially lead to stimulating economic growth, developing trade and strengthening relations between the regions.

Published: December 2023

The directions of digital transformation of unimodal and multimodal freight transportation are being studied within the framework of the Superservice 22 project, the state information system of electronic transportation documents (GIS EPD), the automated ETRAN system, and the INTERTRAN project. The strategic goals of creating a national digital transport and logistics platform in Russia are determined. The experience of the phased construction of the LOGINK transport and logistics public information platform in China is summarized and investigated. Three stages of the development of the LOGINK information platform are distinguished and characterized: the stage of internal standardization; the stage of regional integration; the stage of international promotion. The types and flows of information exchange on the LOGIN transport and logistics platform are identified. The dynamics of the development of the LOGIN platform's international cooperation with seaports, leading shipping companies and global logistics operators is considered. The cooperation of the LOGINK transport and logistics platform with international organizations and institutions that set standards in the field of logistics and freight transportation is being studied. Strategic directions for using the LOGINK platform are being established within the framework of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative in order to increase China's influence on international freight transportation and global supply chains. Proposals are being developed to change the strategy of “international promotion” of the LOGINK platform and enhance its cooperation with logistics operators of alternative container transportation routes and cross-border transit routes, in particular with Russian ports, rail carriers and leading logistics companies in Russia. The stages of the implementation of the strategy of “international promotion” of the LOGINK information platform in the Russian market of transport and logistics services are determined and characterized in a meaningful way. The expediency of combining the LOGINK information platform with the ecosystem of digital transport corridors of the Eurasian Economic Union is substantiated.
TV Series in a Big City: Geo-Poetics of Telenovelas 1980s—2020s
Authors: Kislova L. S. , Ratsen T. N. , Dracheva S. O.
Published: December 2023

The article explores the influence of toponymic images on the aesthetics of popular foreign and Russian television Series. The television series is a specific artistic model, the transformation and functioning of which is the result of significant television influence on the audience. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that, being a key genre of contemporary mass culture on one hand, and a multimedia text on the other, the series allows visual content to displace verbal content and constructs a certain reality in the minds of viewers. Within the framework of the geopoetic approach, the authors of the article examine the image of the city in television projects from different years, analyze the functions of urban signs and symbols, and identify various artistic techniques used to characterize characters and represent national-cultural spaces. Special attention is given to the role of the city as a setting and a tool for plot development in TV shows. The result of the study is the identification of the dynamics of the city image in television projects from the 1980s to the 2020s, which allows us to characterize television Series not only as a source of entertainment, but also as a social and national project that claims one of the dominant positions in contemporary culture.
Cosmic Imagery in Russian Poetry at Turn of 18th and 19th Centuries: Strategies of Study
Authors: Potashova K. A.
Published: December 2023

The article explores the mechanisms of poetic representation of celestial bodies, the celestial sphere, and extraordinary cosmic phenomena in Russian poetry at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries in the context of changing artistic paradigms (classicism and romanticism), poets’ worldview, and their artistic methods. It analyzes literary-critical articles from the 1820s-1840s and works by literary scholars from the second half of the 19th to the 21st centuries. The main research strategies for analyzing the cosmic imagery in Russian poetry of this period are identified. The existing methodology for interpreting the poetic works of G. R. Derzhavin and V. A. Zhukovsky, who were at the forefront of the leading artistic systems of the time, is evaluated in terms of understanding the image of the cosmic universe. It is determined that in literary criticism and scholarship, three main approaches have emerged in interpreting the image of the cosmic universe: interpretations of the astronomical universe as classical emblems, as typical elements of landscape in romantic aesthetics, and as ontologically charged images. It is proven that the study of cosmic motifs did not have a systematic character in relation to the literary process at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Limits of Possibility: Practices of Administrative Sanctions Against Russian Periodical Press at Beginning of 20th Century
Authors: Alferova I. V. , Blokhin V. F.
Published: December 2023

The study examines the mechanisms of censorship restrictions on Russian periodical press that had become widespread by the beginning of the 20th century. It explores the history of the development of censorship during the post-reform era and the stages of reorganization of the censorship apparatus in the context of changing Russian realities in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The issue of legislative initiatives regulating the coverage of domestic political events in the pages of Russian periodicals is addressed. Special attention is given to the practice of using administrative resources in the form of mandatory decrees by governors to establish control over local press. The documents for analysis were extracted by the authors from the archives of the Police Department of the State Archive of the Russian Federation. They contain information about specific instances of administrative penalties and fines imposed by governors on newspaper editors. Comparing this information with the content of articles subjected to penalties allowed for the identification of "the limits of possibility" for periodical press that existed locally in the perceptions of administrators. The review conducted led to the conclusion that mandatory decrees provided provincial administrations with the right, based on their own biases and convictions, to censor political content in print publications, thereby influencing public opinion.
Tyumen District in 1920s: Settlement Numbers and Development Features
Authors: Valitov A. A. , Sulimov V. S.
Published: December 2023

The subject of this study is the rural settlements of the Tyumen district in the first quarter of the 20th century. It is noted that during this period, the Tyumen district was situated at the heart of the Tyumen region, ranking first in terms of population size (44,545 people) and the area of territory covered (5.4 thousand square kilometers). The paper examines changes in the number and typology of settlements within the Tyumen district through the lens of its rural localities. It has been established that the district’s settlement network consisted of 177 localities, falling into 11 types, with villages making up a significant proportion — over 50%. This fact indicates that in long-settled regions, settlement networks have existed in virtually unchanged forms despite various external and internal factors. Fifteen villages were identified as creating the framework of the Tyumen district’s settlement network, demonstrating resilience and successfully adapting to new conditions. For instance, data from 1912 and 1926 show that population numbers in these localities were growing, especially in those settlements occupying advantageous (central) positions within the existing network. Many villages in the Tyumen district attained this status during the Soviet period, even though at the beginning of the 20th century they were mere villages. Successful new connections between settlements were facilitated by transportation factors (the presence of railways, tract roads, and a navigable water artery — the Tura River).
Kryzhanovsky as a Figure in Anti-Bolshevik Movement of Urals and Siberia in 1918—1920
Authors: Weber M. I.
Published: December 2023

The article is dedicated to the history of the Yekaterinburg Secret Military Organization, which prepared an uprising against Soviet authority. It introduces new information into academic discourse regarding its covert operations in the spring and summer of 1918. The existing historiographic views on the leadership composition and structure of the Yekaterinburg Secret Military Organization have been expanded. The role of one of its previously unknown participants, the mining engineer Yuri Ilyich Kryzhanovsky, within the organization has been revealed. It has been proven that Yuri I. Kryzhanovsky was one of the leaders of the Yekaterinburg Secret Military Organization, and that the headquarters of the underground movement was located in his father’s house. Key milestones in Kryzhanovsky’s biography have been established, including the final period associated with his service in Admiral Kolchak’s army. Kryzhanovsky’s connections with Major General A. N. Grishin-Almazov, commander of the Siberian Army, and the renowned revolutionary B. V. Savinkov are demonstrated. It is proven that Yuri I. Kryzhanovsky participated in the creation of the All-Russian National Union in the city of Ufa and subsequently joined the leadership of the Yekaterinburg branch of the All-Russian National Union. The primary sources for reconstructing the biography of Yuri I. Kryzhanovsky were award documents from Kolchak’s army and newspaper materials.
Legal Debates on ‘Ex Officio’ Procedure in Late 16th Century England: Robert Bill’s Position
Authors: Mityureva D. S.
Published: December 2023

The article examines the origins of the modern right to remain silent and not testify against oneself, which was established in legal discussions among English jurists in the sixteenth century and in the practice of English courts in the seventeenth century. The aim of the article is to analyze the conflict between common and civil law jurists in the late sixteenth century regarding the procedure of ex officio oath-taking, that is, taking an oath due to the prosecutor’s official position. The legal context of the 1580s-1590s, when there was a dispute over the activities of the High Commission, is reviewed. The legal texts under consideration demonstrate a struggle between inquisitorial practices and attempts to make the judicial process (including the church) “properly organized.” Special attention is paid to the position of Robert Bill, a clerk of the Privy Council. The author delves into the arguments Bill presents against ex officio oaths. The analysis of the legal debate allows for a broader understanding of several conflicts: the relationship between church and common law in England after the Reformation and the balance of power between authorities and subjects’ rights.
Vyatka Church Seals of Synodal Period: an Attempt at Classification (Collection of Sphragistics at P.V. Alabin Kirov Regional Local Lore Museum)
Authors: Mokerova E. Yu. , Tarasov K. N.
Published: December 2023

This article proposes a classification of Vyatka church seals from the 18th to the early 20th century based on materials from the collection of sphragistics at the P. V. Alabin Kirov Regional Local Lore Museum. The criteria for classification include the affiliation of the seals with specific individuals and institutions, as well as the specific images depicted on the seals. The article identifies four groups of seals: seals of church administration, seals of spiritual educational institutions, seals of churches, and personal seals of clergy. The study reveals that state symbols, such as the doubleheaded eagle, were typically depicted on seals of church administration and spiritual educational institutions. Seals of parish churches depicted real church buildings or saints until the first third of the 19th century when they were replaced by a standardized image of a three-domed church. Seals belonging to Vyatka bishops were typically twosided with images of a blessing hand and the Holy Trinity. From the mid-19th century, they were replaced by one-sided seals with images of two blessing hands. All personal seals of bishops have circular legends with their names. Seals belonging to other clergy members contain information about the owner’s name, initials, surname, and sometimes their rank. The most popular symbol for all groups of seals was the All-Seeing Eye, symbolizing God’s omniscience.
Contribution of Public Scientific and Technical Associations to Development of Mass Inventiveness in USSR from Mid-1950s to Mid-1960s
Authors: Pinaeva D. A.
Published: December 2023

The article examines the role of public scientific and technical associations in the implementation of the Soviet Union’s science and technology policy aimed at stimulating inventive activity and expediting the introduction of new technology into production. Considering mass invention and rationalization as a crucial resource for ensuring the country’s competitiveness, especially in industries not related to the defense-industrial complex, the state essentially fully administered the activities of scientific and technical societies. The evolution of the mass invention management system is demonstrated. Organizational and economic mechanisms aimed at stimulating innovative activity are analyzed, revealing the most effective and indemand practices. It is noted that public associations had high potential for solving scientific and technical tasks, possessing a large number of qualified personnel, an extensive network of primary organizations, and a centralized management apparatus. However, administrative pressure, the imposition of ideological directives not inherent to scientific and technical societies, the creation of numerous associations with duplicative functions, and the pursuit of increasing quantitative indicators constrained the possibilities of scientific and technical societies, ultimately leading to formalism in the work of public associations.
Language Distribution in Sakha Family Communication: Traditions and Innovations
Authors: Ivanova N. I.
Published: December 2023

The article explores the issue of language reproduction in family communication among the Yakut people in the context of transformational tendencies in the development of urban families during the industrialization era. Using a multidisciplinary approach and sociolinguistic surveys conducted in 2007, 2014, and 2021, the study aims to identify dynamic changes in the functioning of the native (ethnic) language in family communication among rural and urban Yakut people. The results show that the ethnic function of the Yakut language is relevant only for half of urban Yakut families (52.1%) and 89.2% of rural Yakut families. In the context of general social transformation of the family institution, the main findings indicate a reduction in the volume of communication with children in everyday communication, a decrease in intergenerational family communication space on the ethnic language (grandmothers communicating with grandchildren), and a slight increase in parental communication with children. The social function of the ethnic language in rural family communication remains stable due to relative mono-ethnicity and geographical remoteness, but the introduction of digitization into everyday language use leads to cases of younger children switching to another language.
Conversion in Ossetian Language (Iron and Digor Dialects)
Authors: Kachmazova E. S. , Tsallagova I. N. , Tsarikayeva F. A.
Published: December 2023

This article analyzes the converted lexicon of the Iron and Digor dialects of the Ossetian language. The study uses lexical units extracted through a random sampling method from Ossetian language dictionaries. The relevance of the research lies in identifying the primary conversion models necessary for solving problems related to the differentiation of parts of speech in the Ossetian language. The novelty of the study is that it attempts a scientific description of Ossetian conversion models using linguistic material from the Iron and Digor dialects. The study reveals that the most active forms of conversion in the Ossetian language are substantivization, adjectivization, and adverbialization (the direction of productivity may vary). The study also shows that the conversion model in the Ossetian language often includes nouns, adjectives, and participles. Conversion relationships between autosynthetic and synsemantic words in the Ossetian language are mainly represented by adverbs and postpositions, which are due to the developed system of postpositions in the Ossetian language. Analysis of linguistic material from the two main dialects of the Ossetian language suggests that there are no significant differences in the mechanisms of converting Iron and Digor lexicons.

Published: December 2023

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) represent novel selenium (Se) formulation characterized by improved biocompatibility and a wider therapeutic range in comparison to inorganic Se. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibilities of functionalization of SeNPs with olive pomace extract (OPE), rich in health-promoting polyphenols, and to obtain innovative forms of nutraceuticals. Cytotoxic and antioxidative activities of four types of SeNPs (polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized (PVP SeNPs), polysorbate stabilized (PS SeNPs), polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized and functionalized using OPE (f PVP SeNPs) and polysorbate stabilized and functionalized using OPE (f PS SeNPs) were investigated. SeNPs showed lower toxicity on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco2) cells compared to selenite. Functionalization with polyphenols significantly improved their direct antiradical (f PVP SeNPs: 24.4 ± 1.84 and f PS SeNPs: 30.9 ± 2.47 mg TE/mmol Se) and reducing properties (f PVP SeNPs: 50 ± 3.16 and f PS SeNPs: 53.6 ± 3.22 mg GAE/mmol) compared to non-functionalized SeNPs. The significant impact of tested SeNPs on intracellular antioxidative mechanisms has been observed and it was dependent on both cell type and physico-chemical properties of SeNPs, indicating the complexity of involved mechanisms.

Authors: Kovačić Jelena , Klarić Daniela Amidžić , Turk Nikša , Mornar Ana
Published: December 2023

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) has become a powerful tool for analysing size variants of biologic drugs in their native form. Modern SEC can be defined by the use of chromatographic columns packed with sub-3 µm particles, allowing an increase in method throughput compared to that of conventional SEC.

We performed the forced degradation study of adalimumab, the first genetically engineered fully humanised immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody, and evaluated tha possibilities of an advanced SEC column packed with sub-3 µm particles for elucidation of the degradation pathway. Our results revealed the main adalimumab degradation products to be antibody fragments. Acidic and basic conditions had the most intensive effect on the degradation of the adalimumab while the drug exhibits relative stability under thermal and photolytic stress conditions.

The AGREE and AGREEprep calculators were used for the evaluation of the environmental performance of the forced degradation procedure. The results of the green score evaluation are presented as round pictograms with a circle in the centre that shows the overall score of 0.81 and 0.61, respectively. Both pictograms are highlighted in green, indicating the eco-friendly conditions.

Published: December 2023

Natural cardiac glycosides have positive inotropic heart effects but at high, toxic doses they can cause life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Here we present the first Croatian case of a 16-year-old girl who attempted suicide by eating dried oleander leaves, which contain natural cardiac glycosides, and her treatment with a specific antidote. The girl presented with an oedema of the uvula indicating local toxicity, severe bradycardia, first-degree atrioventricular block, drowsiness, and vomiting. Having taken her medical history, we started treatment with atropine, intravenous infusion of dextrose-saline solution and gastroprotection, but it was not successful. Then we introduced digoxin-specific Fab antibody fragments and within two hours, the patient's sinus rhythm returned to normal. Cases of self-poisoning with this oleander are common in South-East Asia, because it is often used as a medicinal herb, and digoxin-specific Fab fragments have already been reported as effective antidote against oleander poisoning there. Our case has taught us that it is important to have this drug in the hospital pharmacy both for digitalis and oleander poisoning.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the best means of personal protection was using face masks. In this context, the World Health Organization has declared the attempts to produce masks inactivating airborne virus species a welcome initiative. This preliminary study aimed to prove that airborne germs passing through a mask filter cartridge can be destroyed by the rays emitted from UVC LEDs placed in such cartridge. We therefore designed such a face mask and tested the efficiency of UVC LEDs placed in its cartridge against common contaminants, gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 virus because of its similarity with SARS CoV-2. Eight UVC LEDs with a total power of 75 mW provided sufficient germicidal effect for all three germs. In terms of safety, ozone production released during UVC LED emission was negligible. Our findings are promising, as they show that well-designed UVC-based face masks can be effective against airborne germs, but further research on a greater sample may help us learn more and optimise such face masks.

In the absence of internationally recognised standardised criteria, several patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been developed to measure occupational burnout. The aim of this study was to extend our 2021 review of the psychometric validity of five PROMs to the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM) and the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT). To do that we ran a systematic literature search in the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Embase databases following our previous methodological framework and the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN). We assessed the level of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) guideline. We identified 694 publications on SMBM and 421 on BAT, but the final review includes eight papers on SMBM and three on BAT. Of the seven psychometric properties assessed for SMBM, content, structural, and criterion validity were rated as insufficient, whereas the quality of evidence for construct and internal consistency was high and moderate, respectively. Of the nine psychometric properties assessed for BAT, content, structural, criterion, and construct validity was moderate and internal consistency was high. One limitation of this study is that we did not assess cross-cultural validity, because the number of studies reviewed is too small and content validity can only be assessed based on the original PROM version rather than translation. To conclude, BAT is superior to SMBM in terms of psychometric validity, but the quality of evidence for some properties is low or very low, suggesting a need for additional validation studies.

Salivary cortisone strongly correlates with serum cortisol, and since it is less invasive to measure salivary cortisone than serum cortisol and easier than to measure cortisol in saliva, as its concentrations are much lower, we wanted to compare salivary cortisone and cortisol levels as markers of noise-induced stress reaction. The study included 104 participants aged 19–30 years, 50 of whom were exposed to occupational noise ≥85 dB(A) and 54 non-exposed, control students. All participants took samples of their saliva with Salivette® Cortisol synthetic swabs on three consecutive working days first thing in the morning. Salivary cortisone and cortisol levels were determined with high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, they completed a 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) questionnaire, and occupationally noise-exposed participants also completed the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) questionnaire on occupational psychosocial risks. The exposed participants had significantly higher cortisone (P<0.001) and cortisol (P<0.001) levels than controls, and the correlation between cortisone and cortisol levels in the exposed participants was strong (ϱ =0.692, P<0.001), which suggests that salivary cortisone can replace cortisol measurements in saliva as a more reliable method than salivary cortisol and less invasive than serum cortisol. However, the level of perceived stress scored on PSS-10 in the exposed participants did not differ significantly from stress reported by controls, but correlated negatively with cortisone levels, which is contrary to our expectations and raises questions as to why.

A survey of the maximal and the minimal nullity in terms of omega invariant on graphs
Authors: Oz Mert Sinan , Cangul Ismail Naci
Published: December 2023

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges. ν(G) and c(G) = m − n + θ be the matching number and cyclomatic number of G, where θ is the number of connected components of G, respectively. Wang and Wong in [18] provided formulae for the upper and the lower bounds of the nullity η(G) of G as η(G) = n − 2ν(G) + 2c(G) and η(G) = n − 2ν(G) − c(G), respectively. In this paper, we restate the upper and the lower bounds of nullity η(G) of G utilizing omega invariant and inherently vertex degrees of G. Also, in the case of the maximal and the minimal nullity conditions are satisfied for G, we present both two main inequalities and many inequalities in terms of Omega invariant, analogously cyclomatic number, number of connected components and vertex degrees of G.
Consumer perception of food value: A comparative study of global supermarkets and local farmers' markets in Slovakia

Published: December 2023

The paper explores how Slovak consumers perceive the value of food, sold by different retail formats (especially farmers’ markets and supermarkets), in terms of the quality, price, and healthiness. The aim of this paper is to evaluate consumer perceptions regarding global and local types of retail stores where they buy food most frequently. In the study, the segmentation of consumers by generation, income, and type of residence is provided. From the methodological point of view, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests are used to test hypotheses. According to the sample of respondents (n = 1,004), large-scale stores do not offer healthier and higher-quality food. This perception, however, varies based on the income of the consumer groups. On the other hand, respondents perceive that food sold at farmers’ markets is healthier and of higher quality than food in conventional stores. They do not perceive that food sold at farmers’ markets is cheaper than food in conventional stores.

Circular Economy: Origins, Evolution and Role of MSW
Authors: Rada Elena Cristina
Published: December 2023

Circular economy is presented today in opposition to linear economy. This last one was introduced at the end of the 19th, based on the terms: take, make, consume, through away. Its development was connected with the technological innovations for increasing the productivity as an absolute target. The analysis of the literature demonstrates that the first concepts of the material circularity were introduced before an official definition of waste, through the terms of Industrial Symbiosis and Industrial Ecology since the 40s. In the following decades important enhancements can be met in the criteria available for having an economy more oriented towards sustainability. A milestone can be considered the issue of the circular economy package from EU in 2015, specifically related to MSW, with the concepts of efficient and sustainable use of resources and new integrated model of production, distribution and consumption. As the EU decided to give centrality to MSW, this article analyses its role in the above-mentioned literature. CE and MSW were analysed also from another aspect: the generation of detailed information on the characteristics of residual MSW management is discussed as a strategy to support CE. Finally, the expectations of the sector as a consequence of the adoption of circularity concepts were analysed.
