Tunable spatiotemporal resolution photoacoustic microscopy by combining quasi-periodic scanning and register-fusion algorithm
Authors: Li Jing , Wu Shiqing , Tao Chao , Liu Xiaojun
Published: February 2022

Quasi-periodic scanning combined with a register-fusion algorithm is proposed to realize tunable spatiotemporal resolution photoacoustic microscopy. Quasi-periodic scanning involves an irrational number ratio for the periods of scanning signals in two directions. It can provide sub-pixel spatial sampling for each frame. The proposed method can adjust the temporal and spatial resolutions by changing the data length for image reconstruction. For moving targets, the method can obtain a series of low-resolution images with a high imaging frame rate. A high-spatial-resolution image can be fused from these images using the register-fusion algorithm. The proposed method can acquire both motion and structural details of moving targets.

Perspectives in the Emergence and Re-Emergence of Infectious Diseases, Geopolitics and Gain-of-Function Research
Authors: Sr Dr. Chrysanthus Chukwuma
Published: February 2022

This paper attempts to present the dissemination and transmission dynamics of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and the underlying features of gain-of-function research and geopolitics in the ambient within and across borders. Research and publication are relevant from perspectives in the management of local and global health because disease is perspicuously a geopolitical issue ostensibly linked to gain-of-function research where health diplomacy undergirds present and future global functionalities regarding the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases. These have generated vehement reactions with propensity for extreme geopolitics and gain-of-function natural and anthropogenic activities. Geopolitical parameters and gain-of-function issues impact on the social determinants of health and vice versa. The convening and convergence of countries for unprecented epidemic or pandemic treaty settings or other formulations to confront emerging and reemerging infectious diseases will afford considerable opportunities concerning challenges in action, preparedness and response. Provisions are pertinent for legal instruments, effective and efficient systems to curb future threats and outbreaks of infectious diseases.

تفسير النصوص الدينية يحتل موضوع الصدارة والاهتمام منذ بدايات النهضة الفكرية فى الفكر الاسلامي، وان كأنت هناك قراءات معاصرة للنصوص الدينية الا أنها بقت بعيدة عن الحداثة.  القرأن الكريم هو مصدر ثقافة هذه الأمة الاسلامية وتراثها بكل أطيافها وأشكالها وأزمانها. استخدمت مناهج عديدة فى تفسير النصوص الدينية ، وظهرت مدارس عديدة الا ان هذه المناهج والطرق لا زالت قديمة ولم تحدث. هذه المناهج والوسائل لا تكفي لكشف المعنى الباطني للنصوص الدينية. في أوربا وجد علماء الاجتماع والتاريخ والفلسفة طرق ووسائل حديثة لتفسير الظواهر التاريخية والانسانية ومنها في بدايات القرن الماضي هي الجينيالوجيا. يعرف الجينيالوجيا هو علم المنشأ أو علم الأنساب. هنا تعطي معنى آخر في البحوث الانسانية وهو  الاعتقاد بأن الأشياء في بداياتها كانت كاملة واما الزمن أو الوقت يلعب دورا في اظهارها. هذه الوسيلة البحثية استوحيت من فلسفة نيتشة، وسماها بجينيالوجيا التاريخ. هذه الوسيلة تسمح للفلسفة أن تلتقي بالتاريخ، أي هي تاريخ الحقيقة وليست حقيقة التاريخ، ودين الحقيقة وليس حقيقة الدين، ودين التاريخ وليس تاريخ الدين .الجينيالوجيا استخدمها فلاسفة وعلماء فرنسيين بعد منتصف القرن الماضي ومنهم فوكو، دولوز، دريدا ونانسي لفك هيمنة التاريخ على الفكر والعقل البشري. أخذت في هذا البحث نموذجا بحثيا لظاهرة تاريخية دينية وهي نشأت التشيع وطبقت واستخدمت الجينيالوجيا في فك رموز هذا الموضوع الشائك المعقد لأن استحضار الماضي باعتباره مجموعة من الوقائع قد حصلت فى زمان ومكان محددين ومحورها الانسان، فاستحضاره ليس عملية سهلة لأن ذلك يقتضي في توفر نهج خاص يعيد بناء الظاهرة التاريخية. وحصلنا على نتائج تفتح باباً لأبحاث مستقبلية.
Style wykonawcze w polskim śpiewie tradycyjnym – próba typologii subiektywnej
Authors: Grozdew-Kołacińska Weronika
Published: February 2022

Artykuł podnosi problem typologii wykonawczych stylów wokalnych w polskiej muzyce tradycyjnej. Jest to pierwsza tego typu próba na gruncie etnomuzykologii polskiej. Głównym kryterium zastosowanym w badaniach jest subiektywna percepcja wrażeniowa oparta na analizie audytywnej. Pozostałe kryteria odnoszą się do czynników formalnych, morfologicznych i strukturalnych śpiewu jako czynności muzycznej – zarazem zdarzeniowej i procesualnej, jego cech ontologicznych oraz uwzględniają determinanty zewnętrzne – jak czas i miejsce wykonania, sytuację nagrania (konteksty), warunki psycho-fizjologiczne. Wyodrębnienie i zdefiniowanie stylów zostało dokonane na podstawie prezentacji indywidualnych śpiewaków, których nagrania znajdują się w zasobach archiwalnych Zbiorów Fonograficznych Instytutu Sztuki PAN, a także w odniesieniu do własnych doświadczeń autorki w praktykowaniu śpiewu tradycyjnego. Wyłoniono pięć głównych stylów śpiewu: dawny, klasyczny, prosty, ornamentalny, sentymentalny. Jednym z najistotniejszych elementów badań było zastosowanie określeń nawiązujących do metody semantycznego opisu barwy głosu – wykorzystano określenia, którymi posługiwali się wcześniejsi badacze i zbieracze pieśni ludowych, a także te, które zostały zebrane w toku eksperymentu psychoakustycznego, dotyczącego badań nad barwą głosu śpiewaczek kurpiowskich, prowadzonego przez autorkę we współpracy z Katedrą Akustyki Muzycznej UMFC. W artykule podjęto również refleksję nad stylem wykonawczym jako kategorią poznawczą i kulturową, w odniesieniu do problematyki indywidualności i kanoniczności w tradycyjnej kulturze wokalnej, oraz zwrócono uwagę na kategorię naturalności i jej rolę w kształtowaniu różnych poziomów dyskursu o tradycyjnym wykonawstwie wokalnym.

Towards a Circular Economy: A Review on Asbestos Waste Management Regulations in Kenya
Authors: Nabango Hope , Majale Christine
Published: February 2022

Kenya banned the use of asbestos in 2006, given its carcinogenic effects. Consequently, regulatory and institutional guidelines have been established to ensure the safe disposal of hazardous material. Yet, Kenya still uses 10% of its national health allocations to treat asbestos-related infirmities. The goal of this article is to review the policy guidelines for disposal of asbestos and assess its robustness as a measure of socio-environmental risk reduction. The study utilises a systematic review of policy guidelines on asbestos, air, and water quality regulations against their implementation reviewed in Environmental Impact Assessment reports from 2013 to 2021. Studies assessing thermal and chemical treatment processes for asbestos are reviewed to assess the processes involved and acquire information based on efficiency in terms of cost, technological applicability, and minimal environmental effects. The review shows that more risks are inherent from landfilling, which is considered safe in the regulations. Examples include compromised standards of disposal and unforeseen risks arising from geologic activity that may create channels for leaching and other exposure pathways. This review proposes that the policy guidelines should ‘rethink’ and adopt conversion of the substance through processes such as dissolution in acids (and) or thermal conversion processes. The processes guarantee the elimination of the fibres and yield by-products that can be further processed, namely, glass and fertilisers. Additionally, they reduce waste and relieve landfills while optimising land use. Despite the high initial costs, the merits of the process offer significant trade-offs. There is a need for comprehensive data collection, especially on volume, detailed geophysical information, type of Asbestos Containing Material and coherence of policy guidelines. This sets precedence for the adoption of a circular economy which Kenya is determined to embrace. Also, it will present an opportunity for research and innovation that will contribute to a global knowledge base.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs’ adverse drug reactions: 10 years of national database data
Authors: Syraeva G. I. , Kolbin A. S.
Published: February 2022

The group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has occupied one of the leading positions in terms of demand by the population over the past decade. This fact is explained by non-prescription sale, a wide range of purposes and an affordable price range. The lack of proper control over the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) greatly complicates the assessment of safety, timely detection and prevention of events associated with patient’ safety. Target. Evaluation of data from the national pharmacovigilance database of the safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Materials and methods. This is a cross-sectional study covering the period from 2010 till 2020. The assessment of the safety profile of international non-proprietary names (INN) from the group of NSAIDs at the post-registration stage was carried out according to the data of uploading the national database (Automated Information System of Roszdravnadzor; AIS RZN), as well as PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Elibrary databases. Conclusions. Over a ten-year period, the number of registered spontaneous messages was 8,334. With regard to the three international generic names, the number of adverse drug reactions prevails - this is metamizole (1875 (22.5 %)), acetylsalicylic acid (1716 (20.6 %)), diclofenac (979 (11.7 %)). The main system organ class with safety-related events are described for skin and subcutaneous structures. This fact is not consistent with the data of reference sources of information, which indicates the ineffectiveness of post-marketing observations by marketing authorization holders.
Assessment of GDP and living standards of countries in the focus of interdisciplinary study
Authors: Shamaeva Ekaterina
Published: February 2022

For more than a hundred years, science has been applying physical laws to analyze social and economic systems. However, it must be admitted that in the management of social and economic systems there are no systemic connections with natural, economic and social phenomena, expressed in a consistently measurable form, which leads to incorrect estimates and gives rise to crises.
The current complex crisis situation in the world poses the task of the scientific community to develop theoretical and methodological provisions based on measured values or a meter that would be initially adequate for describing natural systems, and at the same time would be sufficiently applicable to assess socio-economic phenomena. For such assessments, it is necessary to rely on the law of nature and use the corresponding meter. Such a measure is proposed in the works of the International Scientific School of Sustainable Development named after P. G. Kuznetsova.
The socio-economic system, including the economy of the country and the world, can be represented as a generalized machine of a certain capacity. In this machine, useful energy is embodied, directly or indirectly, in all manufactured goods and services. Accordingly, some traditional macroeconomic indicators can be expressed in energy units. The article is devoted to the application of energy theory of cost to estimate Gross Domestic Product and living standards of the countries of the world in energy units, the results of calculations for the period 1992–2019 are given.

The 2nd step - PH diagnosis verification- requires some instrumental methods performance, such as ECG, transthoracic echo, chest X-ray, right heart catheterization with acute pharmacological testing. The 3rd step means clinical class determination on the basis of lung function tests, ventilation-perfusion scan, CT and angiopulmonography. The 4th step task is PH type clarification (lab and functional testing, abdomen ultrasound). The PH treatment has always been a real challenge for physicians. Traditional therapy with calcium channel blockers, anticoagulants diuretics, oxygen often fails to help the patients effectively, to prolong their life, to improve its quality. Lately, on increasing of the number of randomized controlled studies in this field, the situation has been changed greatly. In the clinical practice there used the drugs for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension-endothelin receptors antagonists, prostanoids, phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.

Aim. То study prevalence of Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPARγ gene in Uzbek hypertensive patients and healthy men and its association with blood pressure and cardiovascular remodeling process. Methods. We observed 169 hypertensive patients and 50 healthy men Uzbek nationality. Metabolic syndrome (MS) was defined according to IDF, 2005. It has been performed oral glucose tolerance test, echocardiography, reactive hyperemia test, definition of common carotid intima-media thickness, lipids, microalbuminuria (MAU). Genotyping of Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPARγ gene was determined by PCR amplification with allele-specific primers. Results. Analysis of frequency distribution of Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPARγ gene has shown significantly greater accumulation of Proallele both among hypertensive patients (89.9%) and healthy subjects (83%). There was no association between Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPARγ gene and blood pressure, left ventricular mass lipid and glucose levels in hypertensive patients with MS. It has been revealed higher heart rate and MAU in hypertensive patients with MS-carriers of Proallele as compared with Ala-allele carriers. Genetic risk assessment of MS by multiplicative model of inheritance has shown that availability of Pro-allele has associated with high risk of MS (OR 1.73, 95%CI 0.84-3.37) but presence of Ala-allele has associated with low risk of MS (OR 0.58 95%CI 0.30-1.13). Conclusion. It has been found high frequency of Pro-allele and Pro/Pro genotype of Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPARγ gene both among hypertensive patients with or without MS and healthy subjects of Uzbek nationality. Probability of MS development is higher in hypertensive patients with MS-carriers of Pro-allele of Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPARγ gene as compared with Ala-allele carriers.

INVESTIGATION OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE WITH CRYSTALLIZATION ADDITIVE
Authors: Pocius Edvinas , Čepulis Audrius
Published: February 2022

The article analyses what effect crystallization additive usage has on concrete physical and mechanical properties and shrinkage to find most effective concrete additive. Investigations of concrete properties with various amounts of crystallization admixture were performed. 9 concrete mixtures with different amounts of crystallizing admixtures were formed and admixtures were added to the concrete mixes from 0.6% to 1.4% of the cement mass, in increments of 0.1%. During the research, the influence of the amount of crystallization admixture the density of hardened concrete, flexural strength, compressive strength, and shrinkage was determined. After evaluating the physical, mechanical properties and shrinkage of the concrete, it was determined that the optimal amount of crystallizing admixture in the concrete mixture is 1% of the cement mass. Thus, it can be argued that the use of a crystallizing admixture has a positive effect i.e., reduces the shrinkage of concrete, because of which cracks in concrete structures can be avoided.

The technical limitations of capillary sequencing in providing insights on phylogeny have been greatly aided in recent years by the implementation of next generation sequencing platforms which can generate whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences. In this study, enriched mitochondrial DNA ofCynopterus brachyotisfrom Mindanao, Philippines was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform. A total of 653,967 clean paired-end reads was assembled using a MIRA-MITObim pipeline, resulting in a consensus mitogenome sequence length of 17,382 bases and a GC content of 41.48%, which is consistent with other published mitogenomes in fruit bats. The assembledC. brachyotismitogenome was annotated using the MITOS online server and was able to resolve all mitochondrial genes, except for one transfer RNA gene (trnT) which may be further resolved by additional capillary sequencing of the region. Sequence analysis showed that the PhilippineC. brachyotisis only 90%-91% homologous with otherCynopterusspp., based on its full mitogenome sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of fruit bat mitogenomes, deposited in online repositories, revealed that the PhilippineC. brachyotisin this study has diverged from AsianCynopterus, namelyCynopterus brachyotisandCynopterus sphinxfrom other parts of Asia (100% bootstrap support) with the latter two forming a separate clade. This divergence at the species level was consistent with phylogentic inference using cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) and cytochrome B (cytb) gene markers. Our results strengthen the previously reported hypothesis that the Cynopterus cf. brachyotis in the Philippines is distinct from its Asian counterparts and should be, therefore, treated as a new species.

Published: February 2022

The tribe Arctiini is a species-rich tribe of the subfamily Arctiinae of the family Erebidae. The genus Olepa Watson, 1980 is distributed in the Oriental and Palearctic Regions and the diversity reaches its peak in south Asia.

We herein describe the first record of the genus Olepa from China and re-describe Olepa ricini (Fabricius, 1775), together with illustrations of its adult and male genitalia. Furthermore, based on an analysis of 658-bp COI barcoding sequences, together with morphological studies, we consider that Olepa schleini Witt et al., 2005 syn. n. is a new synonym of O. ricini.

La crise de la pandémie de la Covid-19, une destruction créatrice de la mondialisation
Authors: Chettab Nadia
Published: February 2022

La pandémie de la covid-19 a soulevé des inquiétudes quant à l'avenir de la mondialisation, processus qui a structuré l'économie mondiale durant les trois dernières décennies, spécialisant les pays sur ce qu’ils savaient faire le mieux, et laissant le marché garantir à chacun le meilleur prix. Ce nouveau virus, qui s’est propagé de la région de Hubei en Chine au début de 2020, a rapidement interrompu les chaînes de production à travers le monde. L’ampleur de cette pandémie et le blocage de la production mondiale qui s’en est suivi ont révélé, une fois encore, les doutes sur la capacité du marché à absorber les chocs de grande ampleur, à ramener l’économie à l’équilibre et à assurer sa relance. Le but du présent travail est de montrer le rôle central des institutions politiques et économiques, ainsi que l'évolution endogène de la technologie dans la réponse à la crise. Après un éclairage historique et quelques illustrations récentes des incidences de la crise sanitaire, le présent article revisite les dynamiques qui structurent le marché mondial, montrant que celles-ci se renouvellent et mènent à un redéploiement de la mondialisation.
Du SARS-CoV-2 à un virus social en amérique latine
Authors: Salama Pierre
Published: February 2022

La pandémie de la Covid-19 s'est fortement propagée dans les pays d'Amérique latine. Le virus agit sur des pays « malades » de leurs inégalités de revenus, de l'insuffisance de leurs dépenses de santé et de leur accès inégal aux soins selon le niveau de revenus, enfin de l'incohérence parfois, voire de la confusion des politiques décidées par les autorités pour lutter contre la pandémie. L’ampleur de la crise économique est propice au développement des inégalités, de la pauvreté et de formes nouvelles de domination étatique. Cependant, si la crise dure et se développe avec son cortège de nouveaux pauvres s’ajoutant à ceux qui le sont déjà, avec l’appauvrissement des classes moyennes, comme c’est probable en Amérique latine, alors l’État apparaîtra de plus en plus comme incapable de trouver des solutions allégeant son coût social.
