Problems of industrial development of the Arctic regions of Yakutia in the scientific discourse of the 1980s - early 1990s.
Authors: Suleimanov Aleksandr Albertovich
Published: July 2022

The historical analysis of the research conducted during the 1980s - early 1990s by the staff of the USSR Academy of Sciences / Russian Academy of Sciences in relation to the problems of industrial development of the Arctic regions of Yakutia is presented. At the same time, the main attention is paid to those materials that allow the most representative to show the changes that have occurred in the assessment by scientists of the practices and consequences of intensive industrial development of the region during the Soviet period, as well as the prospects for industrial development in new socio-economic realities. The source basis for the development of the topic was the materials identified by the author in the archives of Yakutsk, published documents and data from scientific literature. The work carried out made it possible for the first time in Russian historiography to show that during the period under review, there was actually a profound shift in the paradigm and the problems of studying the issues of industrial development of the Arctic regions of Yakutia. If at its initial stage industry was viewed through the prism of its contribution to the positive development of the region, then at the turn of the late 1980s - early 1990s, the focus of research shifted to assessing the negative consequences of forced industrial development of the Arctic regions of Yakutia during the Soviet period. Radical changes in the socio-economic situation and socio-political attitudes in the country have led to the emergence of new research issues related to the cessation of the development of a significant part of mineral deposits and the liquidation of a number of industrial settlements in this regard.
Artistic design of the beginning of the XX century. Women of the Bauhaus.
Authors: Kozlovski Vladislav Dmitrievich , Pushkareva Sofia Alekseevna
Published: July 2022

The relevance of this article lies in the fact that design, as a phenomenon of project activity, is one of the leading areas of project culture of the XXI century, but despite this, in modern art and design activities, gender inequality in the implementation of creative projects can be observed. This contradicts the equality declared by the European society. A similar situation has existed since the very beginning of design as a special sphere of human activity. Consideration of this issue from the cultural, cultural and historical side will reveal the structural relationship between the stated principles and the reality of gender policy in the field of design. The purpose of this work is to highlight and systematize the main contribution of women artists, Bauhaus designers to the development of design in general. The object of the study is the gender policy of the Bauhaus school. The subject of the research is the artistic, craft and artistic — project activities of female students and teachers of the Bauhaus School. The authors consider the Bauhaus in the socio-cultural aspect of gender policy, identify the personalities of women, analyze and structure their contribution to the development of art.Having examined the Bauhaus school in the socio-cultural aspect of gender policy, the authors revealed that despite the declared gender equality, women were limited in their activities and rights. Based on the data obtained, the authors revealed the dependence of women's education in the Bauhaus, firstly, on the school course dictated by the leadership, and secondly, on the political and economic processes taking place at that time in the country and in the world as a whole. The authors highlighted the personalities of Bauhaus women, such as Gunta Stelzl, Annie Albers, Marianne Brandt, Gertrude Arndt, and also revealed their role in shaping design as a non-gender profession.

Authors: Velásquez Sabogal Paúl Marcelo
Published: July 2022

The subject of the study is the existing classification of graphic art of anarchist periodicals of the turn of the XIX–XX centuries. The object of the research is publications devoted to the problem of compiling a classification of works of graphic art of anarchism. These are the works of R. and E. Herbertov, A. Dardel, L. Litvak, J. Godard-Davant, K. Ferguson - foreign experts in the field of anarchist graphics. There are no domestic publications on this topic. The author of the article pays special attention to the similarity in approaches to the classification of different authors and the existing gaps in this field of art criticism in order to determine further prospects for the study of the issues under consideration. The scientific novelty of the work is to clarify the classification trends not systematized in Russian historiography, proposed in the literature in English, French and Spanish, on the basis of which a methodological basis for the analysis of the topic is being developed. The methods used in the work are as follows: analysis of historiography in order to identify existing approaches to the study of graphics of anarchist periodicals; comparative analysis, which allows us to compare the two main trends (according to the thematic-iconographic and figurative-thematic principle) with each other, finding further perspectives of interpretation and existing gaps. The results of the study reveal the existing tradition of classification, the authors of which promote their methods, preventing the emergence of other approaches and types of classification that can shed light not only on the image of an anarchist, but also on the peculiarities of the dialogue between anarchist graphics and the artistic avant-garde.

Authors: Smirnykh Sergey Evgenievich
Published: July 2022

The object of the study is topical issues of the impact of international information security on the exercise of the right of ethnicities to self-determination. The subject of the research is the state of legal support of information security at the international level, the concept of international information security, the relationship between the right of peoples to self-determination and the principle of territorial integrity of states. The author considers such issues as the prohibition of military operations or repressive measures directed against dependent peoples. Particular attention is paid to the impact of international information security on the exercise of the right of peoples to self-determination in Russia. The methodological basis of the study is the dialectical method of scientific knowledge. The author also used general scientific methods of systemic, structural and functional analysis and special research methods: comparative legal, formal logical. States must refrain from any actions in the information sphere that are aimed at partial or complete violation of the national unity and territorial integrity of any other countries. Insufficient political, economic and social preparedness or insufficient education should never be used as a pretext for achieving independence. Any hostilities or repressive measures of whatever nature directed against dependent peoples must be stopped in order to enable them to exercise in peace and freedom their right to full independence, and the integrity of their territories must be respected.
The policy of the Russian Federation and Georgia in the Black Sea region: international legal aspects
Authors: Abgaryan Dzhul'etta Rubenovna
Published: July 2022

The geopolitical feature of the Black Sea region is its "cross" position, since it is here that the interests of not just neighboring states meet, but also western and eastern religious, and broader cultural traditions. The territorial location of the Black Sea makes it an important strategic zone at the intersection of the borders of Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. The region, which has significant potential for economic development, has traditionally been a sphere of intersection of interests of both maritime powers and countries seeking to gain influence in this zone by establishing control over them.This article is devoted to the problem of relations between Russia and Georgia in this region, analyzed by the author from an international legal perspective. The basis of the study of the potentially high conflictogenicity of the Black Sea zone is currently an appeal to the history of the issue, which allows us to reveal the cause-and-effect relationships of the confrontation between countries for the possession of those benefits to which domination in the region opens access. The article examines the relations between Russia and Georgia over the Black Sea in the context of the Georgian side's interactions with the West, in particular with the European Union and NATO. The author draws an important conclusion that the deterioration of relations between Georgia and Russia was a step-by-step process that began after the collapse of the Soviet Union and has been going on up to the present time, when it reached its highest point. Determining the prospects for the development of bilateral relations is of great importance due to the fact that conflicts with Russia, which is a key force in the region, can have a negative impact not only on trade and economic relations between the countries, but also on security policy.

Authors: Alwabr Gawad M. A. , Al-Salehi Khalid A. S.
Published: July 2022

Background: Hospital-associated infections are those infections acquired during the patient's stay in a hospital or after the patient has been discharged from the hospital. Healthcare professionals, nurses in particular, are constantly expose to these infections while carrying out their nursing activities. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and practice of the standard precautions of infection control among nurses in the selected government hospitals in Sana'a, Yemen.
Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted amongst nurses working in five government hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen. A convenience sample consisting of 232 nurses who work in select hospitals used. The tool used was a self-administered questionnaire. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics used to analyze the study results. Chi-square test, T-test, and One-Way ANOVA test performed and a P-value ?0.05 considered significant.
Results: The study revealed that there was a significant statistical difference between nurses' knowledge and practice of standard precautions of infection control (p=0.037). The mean practices percent of nurses practicing safety precautions (53%) was significantly lower than the mean percentage of tested knowledge (81.4%). Less than half of the respondents 106 (45.7%) had a very good knowledge level (>80%), however, only 48 (20.7%) practiced a good level of standard precautions of infection control. Significant statistical differences were found between knowledge and gender (P=0.028) as well as the practice towards work experience and hospital's name (P=0.047, 0.001 respectively).
Conclusions: Nurses in the study had good knowledge but the poor practice of standard precautions of infection control. Most of the barriers to using standard precautions of infection control measures were the inadequate supplies of safety devices and the unavailability of infection control protocol in the hospitals.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Unicameral Bone Cysts (UBC) are benign fluid filled lesions at metaphyseal regions of long bones of immature skeleton. Several treatment options exist but none have proven to be the best. Curettage helps to remove the cyst membrane responsible for lysis of bone and fibular grafting with plate osteosynthesis which gives adequate stability to the fracture and promotes healing of the UBC of proximal humerus with pathological fracture. Aim: To assess functional outcome, pain relief, healing of the cyst and recurrence of lesion with curettage and fibular bone grafting with proximal humerus plating in UBC of proximal humerus with pathological fracture. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study done using the medical records of 10 patients with UBC of proximal humerus with pathological fracture treated with curettage and fibular grafting and plate osteosynthesis at Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, between January 2018 to December 2021. Patients were studied for functional outcome by Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) score before surgery and one year after surgery. Healing of the cysts was evaluated by using a modified classification system by Chang et al., and pain relief was evaluated with pre and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Paired t-tests were used to compare the MSTS scores and VAS scores. Results: MSTS score increased significantly after surgery from 11.6±2.06 to 27.3±1.6, p<0.0001. Cysts have healed completely in seven cases, partially in three cases and recurrence was seen in three cases at the end of one year. Mean VAS scores decreased significantly from 7.60±0.97 to 1.40±0.97 after the surgery. Among three cases with recurrence of UBC, two cases were diagnosed at eight months and one case at 12 months after surgery. Conclusion: Treatment of UBC of proximal humerus with pathological fracture by curettage, fibular grafting and plate osteosynthesis gives good functional outcome and cyst healing rate. It is a safe and effective procedure without any complications.

Introduction: The popliteal artery branching pattern has multiple variations which have implications in outcomes of various surgical procedures. Amongst cadaveric, Computed Tomography (CT) angiographic and Digital Subtraction Angiographic (DSA) studies, Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Angiography provides a comprehensive, quick and efficient evaluation of the popliteal arterial anatomy along with surrounding structures and related pathologies of the vascular and non-vascular structures. Aim: To evaluate the patterns of popliteal artery division on MDCT angiography of lower limb in patients presenting to a tertiary medical institute in Northern India. Materials and Methods: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted in Department of Radiology at Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical and Health Sciences, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India (tertiary care medical institute of Northern India). Patients presenting for a period of one year from April 2021 to March 2022 were included in the study. The MDCT angiographic findings of 152 patients who were evaluated for various illness including peripheral vascular disease, popliteal arterial aneurysms and trauma were analysed. The branching pattern of popliteal artery was evaluated according to the classification system provided by Kim DU et al., Morphometric analysis of popliteal artery including diameter was also done. The imaging based data was collected and analysed by two radiologists. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.18 years with males predominance of 110 (72.37%). Amongst the 304 limbs available for evaluation, the data from six limbs could not be assessed due to atherosclerotic blockage in four patients, extensive calcification in one patient and amputation in one patient. Hence, 298 limbs were evaluated on MDCT angiography for the pattern of branching of popliteal artery. Type IA was the most common pattern of division seen in 268 limbs (89.93%). Out of 298, 30 limbs showed variant anatomy, with unilateral variation in 18 patients and bilateral variation in six patients. Type III pattern (n=12, 4.03%) was more common than Type II pattern (n=11, 3.6%) in the study group. Conclusion: The knowledge of variations of popliteal arterial division and meticulous evaluation is essential to provide a successful roadmap for therapeutic measures.

Published: July 2022

Purpose: The effect of African yam bean flour as an extender on the physicochemical and sensory properties of cooked beef sausage was studied.

Methodology: Sausage samples were produced using beef and African yam bean flour (AYBF) as extender at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% substitution levels while 100% beef sausage served as the control. The proximate composition and sensory properties of the formulated products were determined using standard methods.

Findings: Proximate analysis revealed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in moisture content (71.45-65.50%), ash (2.45-0.30%), and fat (10.10-1.90%) with a corresponding increase in crude protein (23.06-28.00%), crude fibre (3.80-16.20%) and carbohydrate (5.74-7.91%) as beef was partially replaced with AYBF. Beef sausages containing AYBF showed a significantly lower pH and better water holding capacity and emulsion properties compared to the control sample. Sensory analysis also showed a significant (p<0.05) decrease in the mean sensory scores for taste, mouthfeel, aroma and overall acceptability. Colour and hardness of the products were improved at AYBF supplementation level of 5%. Generally, the control sample was not significantly (p>0.05) different from samples supplemented with 5% AYBF.

Recommendations: It is concluded that the incorporation of AYBF could be an effective ingredient to improve the quality and sensory properties of beef sausage with reduced fat content. Thus, the use of full African yam bean flour as an extender at 5% substitution level for cooked beef sausages is feasible as this will reduce the amount of meat used, thereby reducing the cost of the cooked beef sausage and at same time producing nutritious sausages.

Authors: Kumar Pankaj , Singh Vikram , Johar Vishal , Kumar Akshay , Kadlag Suprikesh Suresh
Published: July 2022

Plant growth regulators are extremely important natural hormones which control the growth and the physiological factors within the plant. They are naturally occurring as well as synthetic. PGRs like Auxins, ethylene, cytokinins and gibberellins are the growth inhibitors and growth retardants. The foliar application of plant growth regulators helped in increasing the quality of the fruit crops. Auxin is required for fruit retention in sweet cherry, litchi, grapevine, snake fruit and tomato. Most commonly used auxins are IBA, NAA, IAA, 2,4D etc. IBA at the concentration of 4000 ppm is the best plant growth regulator for rooting in cuttings. Gibberellins (GA) are diterpene plant hormones that influence various aspects of growth and development through complex biosynthetic processes. Application of GA with combination of Zinc and pruning showed better performance in fruit weight, ascorbic acid, and reduction in pre-harvest fruit drop. Repeated applications of brassinosteroid have a long-lasting effect on strawberry cv. Winter Dawn physiological growth. Triacontanol (TRIA), natural plant growth hormone in fruit crops. It regulates a variety of physiological processes in plants. Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone best recognized for modulating host responses in response to pathogen infection.SA treatments boosted crop productivity and fruit quality criteria such as firmness, aril color, and individual sugar and organic acid concentrations at harvest. It is revealed by many studies that the application of biofertilizer play an essential role for increasing the sustainability of the soil and also enhance the organic matter content, aeration, fertility, availability of micro and macronutrients with in the soil which are the essential things for the better survival of the plant and results into the good quality and higher yield from the plant. The present review encompasses the use and the effect of different PGR’s and biofertilizer on the fruit crops.

Published: July 2022

One of the global challenges to sustainability in this age of climate change is how to sustain the growing population by providing services to increase food production from farmland. The purpose of this study was to investigate farmers' perceptions of agriculture adaptation strategies, acceptance of tuber crops as adoption in adverse climatic conditions and the constraints on them in relation to climate change. Finding from the study research will bring advantages for small-holder farmers with the community-based approach (PRA method) which may develop action plan, perception about the climate change in the case of 150 Upazila in 60 districts of Bangladesh. It is also demonstrated the farmers insights of climate change and agriculture adaptation tactics and their limitations on them in relation to climate change. Most of the participants didn't read or perceive {literacy rate in project area was 68.4% (MSVSB 2019, BBS)} such as climate change, global climate change, temperature change etc. as an issue or development and adaptation problem and expected given the restricted knowledge base community members had concerning climate change. About average percentage of the participant was thirty-three of men and twenty of women in a group from 150 Upazila in 60 districts who were concern about the board range of challenges that were summarized into six broad unranked categories. Key finding exposed that from PRA analysis, few of the farmers do understand climate to be dynamical issues, however, mostly participants did cultivation with different varieties with their seasonal patterns (i.e., longer and warmer dry seasons and shorter and a lot of intense rainy seasons) and ready to cultivate tuber crops in adverse climatically condition. It is evaluated and ranked the different ways to observed the cultivation of tuber crops which can contribution to climate change adaptation (scale ranging based on climate change adaptation and from very low to high potential). Mitigation and adaptation strategies and constraints, cropping systems incorporating risks and adaptations possibility assessment is a simultaneous study effort as climate change-resilient farming and cropping systems that undergo continuous changes with the changing environment, farming culture, and technological innovations. This study stated that farmer perception of global climate change was surveyed and compared to the actual acquaintance to observe that they might not much influence adaptation. Research outcome would be contributing to our inclusive understanding of climate change and adaptation among vulnerable in project area.

Published: July 2022

Post-extubation negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) develops after the closed intrathoracic cavity was forced to expand with intense inspiratory effort against an obstructed airway. Laryngospasm that occurs after extubation during emergence is one of the causes of upper airway obstruction. Extubation during an inadequate depth of anesthesia, excessive airway secretion and irritation due to suction are known as cause of laryngospasm. Recently, there have been reports that laryngospasm occurred after sugammadex administration during emergence from general anesthesia. Here, we report NPPE following consecutive sugammadex administration during emergence from anesthesia in a young man undergoing nasal septorhinoplasty under general anesthesia. In this case, NPPE occurred due to an excessive increase in inspiratory force in the state of airway obstruction (laryngospasm) after extubation, and a young man, nasal surgery with packing, and repeated misuse of sugammadex due to absence of neuromuscular monitoring could contribute to the occurrence of NPPE.

Results: The FTIR, XRD, DSC and SEM studies exhibited no interaction between LPO and excipient. In Physical mixture (PM) it shows less intensity and disappearance of sharp peaks while in SD indicates the conversion of crystalline state of LPO to amorphous state that discovered the dissolution enhancing, so the SD prepared by MWI proved to be a promising approach to increasing the dissolving rate of BCS class II drug LPO.

Conclusion: Hence, from the all analysis studies, it absolutely was evident that factorial batch F1 was the higher. F1 coded batch (LPO: β-CD within the magnitude relation of 1:1 with time of exposure (4 min) and power of radiation (300 Watt), shows 07 folds increase i.e. 84% compared with drug discharged inside 60 min to plane LPO and SD i.e. 12 % only and 84% respectively.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), also known as chronic simple glaucoma, is usually an inherited disease. Inheritance is considered multifunctional and polygenic. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, of which POAG is the most common. First-degree relatives of POAG patients are at increased risk. A reasonable risk for siblings is four and twice the risk of the normal population for the offspring, although the number of surveys varies. This case series of eight family members with POAG illustrates the stealth nature of POAG and the devastating vision loss it can cause as it progresses; emphasizing regular and comprehensive eye examinations during its early stage.

The streets are designed for explicit spaces where vehicles can circulate in complete safety. Not with upright, to specific areas, for example, keeping an eye on and automated level intersections, sharp curves, cluttered or prone to accidents, Increased speed control could be important in ensuring well-being. This has been achieved in various ways, for example, the mandatory posting of speed limit signs, the use of fire signals to alarm conductors, and streetscapes. In particular circumstances, barriers are needed, but their use on the streets is not considered an acceptable design practice. As a result, the normal speed circuit breakers do not meet the need, but they interfere with the vehicle and in a few cases have resulted in serious and transient injuries. Signage may also distract the driver and take his or her attention off the street. Be that as it may, the lack of light or above the upper light makes it difficult to perceive the speed breaker ahead. This report deals with the technique of distinguishing mounds and potholes and provides ideal precautions for drivers to stay away from accidents or vehicles harms. An image preparation frame is used to differentiate the mount.

Published: July 2022

Graphene films have been regarded as potential materials for future applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Among various synthetic approaches, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach can produce large‐area graphene films with excellent scalability, controllability, and quality. Graphene doping, that is capable of improving carrier concentration and shifting the Fermi level position of graphene, has become an important pathway for realizing its desired applications. Physical adsorption of dopants on graphene surface can dope the graphene system through surface charge transfer and preserve the graphene lattice; however, the low doping stability strongly hinders its applications. The substitutional doping can achieve fine doping stability by incorporating heteroatoms, such as nitrogen and boron, into graphene lattice, but suffers from low carrier mobility owing to the presence of defects and disorders. In this review, the aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of application‐related doping performance including doping stability, doping uniformity, carrier concentration, carrier mobility, electrical conductivity, and optical transparency. The aim of the review is also to provide an outlook for future doping techniques of CVD graphene films toward various applications.
3D Tomographic Analysis of the Order‐Disorder Interplay in the Pachyrhynchus congestus mirabilis Weevil

Published: July 2022

The bright colors of Pachyrhynchus weevils originate from complex dielectric nanostructures within their elytral scales. In contrast to previous work exhibiting highly ordered single‐network diamond‐type photonic crystals, here, it is shown by combining optical microscopy and spectroscopy measurements with 3D focused ion beam (FIB) tomography that the blue scales of P. congestus mirabilis differ from that of an ordered diamond structure. Through the use of FIB tomography on elytral scales filled with platinum (Pt) by electron beam‐assisted deposition, it is revealed that the red scales of this weevil possess a periodic diamond structure, while the network morphology of the blue scales exhibit diamond morphology only on the single scattering unit level with disorder on longer length scales. Full wave simulations performed on the reconstructed volumes indicate that this local order is sufficient to open a partial photonic bandgap even at low dielectric constant contrast between chitin and air in the absence of long‐range or translational order. The observation of disordered and ordered photonic crystals within a single organism opens up interesting questions on the cellular origin of coloration and studies on bio‐inspired replication of angle‐independent colors.

Published: July 2022

Pd‐based catalysts with preferred morphologies and compositions are of great significance for boosting oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) performance, but the development of facile preparation methods is challenging. Therefore, an unconventional strategy is proposed to synthesize palladium‐copper cyanogel (Cux[Pd(CN)4]y·aH2O) and subsequently induce the formation of PdCu alloy nanocorals (ANCs), which has the advantages of being simple, green, and efficient. The synthesized PdCu ANCs consist of a 3D porous network structure and Pd‐enriched surface, which is beneficial to exposing more accessible active sites, accelerating mass/electron transfer rate, and strengthening chemical stability. By virtue of these merits, the PdCu ANCs exhibit superior activity and stability in both FAOR and ORR. Remarkably, the mass activity of PdCu ANCs catalyst in FAOR reaches 554.53 mA mgPd−1, with a 4.8‐fold enhancement compared to commercial Pd black. And the half‐wave potential of 0.861 V of PdCu ANCs catalyst in ORR surpasses the values of commercial Pd black and Pt black catalysts.

Published: July 2022

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) has become increasingly important in petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, demanding superior and robust membranes. Herein, we report advanced OSN processes by designing three‐dimensional covalent organic framework (3D COF) membranes through moderated interfacial crystallization. Nanoporous supports work as the moderator allowing the crystallization of 3D COF membranes. The 3D COF features sub‐nanometer and anti‐swelling channels, affording a sharp selectivity to fine targets with an exceptionally high and stable methanol permeance. Thus‐synthesized membrane exhibits a record stability against high‐concentration feeds and long‐term operation for ≈1000 h. Moreover, we unambiguously demonstrate that our membrane holds excellent practicality in purifying active pharmaceutical ingredients from organic liquids. This work reveals the great potential of distinctive 3D COFs in producing prominent OSN membranes for industrial applications.
