Intersemiotic Space of Translation: P.I.Tchaikovsky’s Opera “Eugene Onegin” in English
Authors:   National Research Tomsk State University, Tikhomirova Yu.
Published: February 2025

The study aims at analyzing the existing practices as well as potential of vocal music translation, the opera “Eugene Onegin” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, from Russian to English. The inter­play of several semiotic systems, primarily, verbal and musical, defines the necessity of a complex approach in transplanting it into a different language and culture. The research investigates specific features of this libretto’s vocal translation in a histori­cal-cultural retrospect and identifies the transformations which the text manifestations of Russian national cultural identity have undergone in translation. Paradoxically, the synthesism of libret­to as a genre, which is its global, universal trait, complicates the case of the opera “Eugene Onegin” translation by posing a bun­dle of complex aesthetic, genre and stylistic, versification, cul­turally and socio-historically determined questions. The com­parative analysis of the original and translated texts, which de­manded primary decomposition of the original to expose its complex compositional structure, has shown the necessity in various approaches to transplanting parts of the text into anoth­er language. Multiplied by various functions of translations in existing cultural practices (readable translation, singable trans­lation), this compositional complexity under study allows to specify the aspects accountable for translators’ choices of an overall translation strategy for the libretto: the balance of factors of the text’s national cultural specificity and its potential to be rendered through cultural universals, including literary and mu­sico-poetic genres.

Published: February 2025

Objective: This study aims to identify whether banana producers in the Janaúba region implement waste management techniques in banana cultivation and to examine the role of producer associations in disseminating knowledge about business sustainability.
 
Theoretical Framework: Sustainable food production is a global demand, and the circular economy can provide competitive advantages. Banana cultivation generates a significant amount of organic waste, which, if not properly managed, can result in environmental and phytosanitary issues. Understanding how producers deal with this waste and promoting sustainable practices are key to improving the sector’s competitiveness.
 
Method: The study employed a qualitative and descriptive approach, conducting a case study with participatory research. Semi-structured interviews were applied to ten banana producers in the Gorutuba Valley, Janaúba, Northern Minas Gerais. The research assessed the extent to which sustainability practices are adopted and how producer associations contribute to this process.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that ABANORTE plays a crucial role in training producers and adding value to banana production, facilitating market access, including international markets. While producers are aware of sustainability concepts, their adoption remains limited. Most reported reusing banana waste as organic matter, but no advanced reuse techniques have been developed. This suggests an opportunity to further explore sustainable solutions for banana cultivation.
 
Research Implications: The study highlights the importance of integrating banana producers into sustainability networks and optimizing waste management practices to enhance competitiveness.
 
Originality: Although sustainable banana cultivation has been widely discussed, little research has been conducted on waste management in the Janaúba region. Understanding these aspects can promote technological innovations and economic sustainability for banana producers.

A Hybrid Model for Green Supplier Selection and Order Allocation: DEMATEL, ANP, and Multi-criteria Goal Programming Approach
Authors: Utama Dana Marsetiya , Putri Anindya Apritha , Amallynda Ikhlasul
Published: February 2025

Increased competition in the industrial world forces companies to increase their competitiveness through Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). The key to the success of GSCM is the selection of suppliers and the allocation of the proper order by taking into account environmental aspects. This decision involves several criteria and must also pay attention to the relationship between criteria. This study proposes a hybrid procedure to solve Green Supplier Selection and Order Allocation (GSSOA). The integration of Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), Analytic Network Process (ANP), and Multi-Criteria Goal Programming (MCGP) are proposed to solve this problem. The DEMATEL is used to calculate the relationship between criteria. Furthermore, the ANP is proposed to determine the weight of the criteria and supplier ranking. Finally, the MCGP method is offered for allocating orders based on priority suppliers. A case study on the food industry in Malang, Indonesia, was conducted to apply this procedure. The results showed that the low defects rate criterion is the most important compared to other criteria. The best supplier was successfully selected, and the order allocation was completed. Order allocation priority is to suppliers D, C, A, and B. This study also presents a sensitivity analysis for order allocation.

Published: February 2025

The use of an electrically driven vapor compression cycle (VCC) for the environmental control system (ECS) of next-generation aircraft could substantially reduce fuel consumption. The renovated interest in this technology is due to the advent of new refrigerants featuring low global warming potential and the latest developments in high-speed centrifugal compressors and ultracompact heat exchangers. This paper documents the development of an integrated design optimization method for aircraft ECS, whereby the system-level design is performed along with the preliminary design of its main components. The methodology is used to perform the multipoint and multi-objective design optimization of a bleedless air cycle machine (ACM), i.e., the state-of-the-art ECS installed onboard the Boeing 787, and an electrically driven VCC system for a single-aisle, short-haul aircraft. The performance of the two optimal architectures is compared, showing that the VCC system is characterized by lower weight and electric power consumption than the bleedless ACM but features a higher drag penalty. Overall, the optimal VCC system leads to an 18% reduction in fuel weight penalty with respect to the bleedless ACM for the prescribed application.

Purpose. An analysis of the outcomes of surgical treatment with formation of a mobile stump for an eye prosthesis in the long term.

Methods. The retrospective study included 43 patients operated using various orbital implants in the period from 2017 to 2021 with various eye pathologies. Depending on the implant material, 2 study groups were formed. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out.

Results and discussion. As a part of retrospective study, an analysis of the complications of orbital implantation that required surgical correction was performed. In 60 % of cases, complications occurred in the first group with the implantation of a synthetic insert. Complications such as inversion or eversion of the lower eyelid and ptosis were equally common in both groups.

Exposure of orbital implants was observed in 14 % of cases, and rejection of orbital inserts with their removal was noted in 9 %. The most common complication was retraction of the prosthesis which occurred in 28 % of cases.

Conclusion. Based on data analysis from a retrospective study, a conclusion can be made that the use of implantation material of a porous structure, mainly of allogenic origin, contributes to the formation of a more reliable supporting stump for an eye prosthesis.

Key words: enucleation, ptosis, inversion of the lower eyelid.

Дается анализ понятия сетевого человека, прослеживаются условия, способствующие его востребованности цифровым контекстом и реальными социальными и технологическими условиями. Подчеркивается мысль о том, что бытие в реальном и искусственном мире отражается на когнитивных способностях и коммуникациях индивида. Отмечается, что появление сетевой личности ставит педагогическое сообщество перед необходимостью пересмотра образовательных технологий и практик, формирования адекватных времени знаний и компетенций. Исследуется воздействие социальных сетей на процессы киберсоциализации и адаптации, показывается их отличие от процессов, происходящих в реальном мире. Анализируется феномен цифровой аддикции, чреватый различными деформациями социального, познавательного и умственного характера. Обращается внимание на преимущества, которые открывает виртуальный мир сетевым индивидам. Исследуются негативные последствия симуляционных практик виртуальной среды, микширующих реальное и вымышленное. Показывается, как символы и знаки подменяют реальные сущности и смыслы, результатом которых становится формирование сознания, неспособного критично и трезво оценивать процессы, происходящие в естественном мире.

The article considers the impact of digital technologies on the processes of formation and development of the network person, whose lifestyle, consciousness, social behaviour and values are undergoing serious transformations. The article analyses the concept of the network person, traces the conditions that contribute to his or her demand for the digital context and real social and technological conditions. The idea is emphasised that being in the real and artificial world is reflected in the cognitive abilities and communications of an individual. It is noted that the emergence of the network personality puts the pedagogical community before the need to revise educational technologies and practices, to form knowledge and competences adequate to the time. The impact of social networks on the processes of cybersocialisation and adaptation is studied, and their difference from the processes occurring in the real world is shown. The phenomenon of digital addiction, fraught with various social, cognitive and mental deformations, is analysed. Attention is drawn to the advantages that the virtual world offers to networked individuals. Negative consequences of simulation practices of virtual environment, which mix the real and fictional, are investigated. It is shown how symbols and signs substitute real essences and meanings, which results in the formation of consciousness, unable to critically and soberly assess the processes occurring in the natural world.

Published: February 2025

Amide isotope labeling is a crucial tool in drug discovery and development. However, current methods label the desired peptide bond in a multi-step fashion. This study presents novel strategies for amide isotope exchange through transamidation and amide metathesis. By optimizing reaction conditions and exploring substrate scope, we achieved direct labeling of both amine and carbonyl moieties without need for precursors preparation. These findings pave the way for sustainable isotope labeling technologies. Furthermore, preliminary examples of isotope-containing waste recycling demonstrate a crucial step towards a greener future for isotope chemistry.

The Ku70-Ku80 (Ku) heterodimer complex plays a central role in the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway and the DNA damage response (DDR). Like DNA-PK, Ku is a promising drug target for cancer treatment when combined with radiotherapy or DSB-inducing agents. We have previously reported the first-in-class early-generation highly potent and specific Ku-DNA binding inhibitors (Ku-DBi’s) that block the Ku interaction with DNA and inhibit DNA-PK kinase activity. These early-generation Ku-DBi’s also inhibit cellular DNA-PK, NHEJ-catalyzed DSB repair, sensitize non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells to DSB-inducing agents, and potentiate the cellular effects of these agents via p53 phosphorylation through the activation of the ATM pathway. In this study, we report a comprehensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) around the initial X80 hit molecule to develop highly potent Ku-DBi’s. Early generation Ku-DBi’s display a potent Ku-DNA binding inhibitory activity with a range of 2 to 6 μM, and DNA-PK inhibitory activity in the nanomolar range of approximately 110 nM. Microscale thermophoresis assay shows that these compounds inhibit Ku70-Ku80 binding to DNA with a Kd value of 0.4-6.4 μM. The thermal stability analysis also supports the notion that these Ku-DBi’s bind to the Ku as measured by nano DSF, which is consistent with the observed SAR trends. These Ku-DBi’s may serve as candidate compounds for further modification and development as anticancer therapeutics in combination with radiotherapy or DSB-inducing agents to treat certain DNA repair-deficient cancers.

Authors: Zohora Fatematuz , Hore Shoma , Akter Hamida , Shapon Ahsan Habib , Ahmed Shakil , Hore Ripon
Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study examines the degradation pathways of chiral pesticides in agricultural soils, with a focus on their stereoselective behavior and environmental fate. Specifically, it explores the degradation kinetics of the chiral herbicide profoxydim, evaluating how soil chemistry, microbial activity, and environmental conditions influence stereoisomer persistence. Additionally, the study assesses the impact of biochar amendments on pesticide degradation dynamics.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research builds upon established principles of pesticide fate and transport, integrating stereoselectivity as a key factor in environmental risk assessment. The role of biochar in modifying microbial degradation, adsorption capacity, and bioavailability is also considered within the broader context of sustainable soil management.
 
Method: Advanced analytical techniques, including QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) extraction and HPLC-MS/MS (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Tandem Mass Spectrometry), were employed to quantify stereoisomers and their degradation products. Comparative analyses were conducted on soil samples with and without biochar amendments to evaluate changes in degradation kinetics and stereoselective persistence.
 
Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that certain stereoisomers of profoxydim exhibit prolonged environmental persistence, leading to potential ecotoxicological concerns. Soil chemistry and microbial activity significantly influence degradation rates, with biochar demonstrating the ability to alter pesticide behavior by modifying microbial interactions and adsorption processes. The stereoselective nature of degradation underscores the need for refined risk assessment strategies that account for isomer-specific persistence.
 
Research Implications: This study highlights the necessity of incorporating stereoselective analysis in pesticide regulation and environmental risk assessments. The observed influence of biochar on pesticide degradation presents a potential strategy for mitigating the environmental risks associated with pesticide use.
 
Originality/Value: By integrating stereoselective degradation analysis with soil amendment strategies, this research advances current understanding of pesticide fate in agricultural soils. The findings offer a novel approach to improving pesticide management and promoting sustainable agricultural practices through targeted soil amendments.
Tribological criterion of the quality of nitrided steels and alloys
Authors: Kuksenova L. I. , Alekseeva M. S.
Published: February 2025

The mechanism and kinetics of surface layer destruction during friction, as well as tribotechnical characteristics (level of surface destruction, friction coefficient, ultimate load-bearing capacity) depend on the structure, phase composition and properties of the surface operational layer, which are formed as a result of intense contact elastic-plastic deformation. The paper presents the results of assessing the conditions of the surface layer performance during friction of structural steels and alloys subjected to nitriding. A tribological criterion for the quality of the surface nitrided layer has been developed, an integrated approach to assessing the tribological efficiency of chemical-thermal treatment of structural steels and alloys has been proposed. The studies of the nitrided surface included the following stages: 1) based on the developed tribological criterion containing micro- and macroscopic characteristics of the material of the contact deformation zone during friction, the choice of its processing modes to ensure an acceptable level of surface destruction under test conditions of a heavily loaded mating; 2) using the surface plastic deformation method, assessing the ability of the nitrided layer (formed as a result of processing according to the selected mode) to perceive surface plastic deformation without destruction, which serves as a justification for the modes of chemical-thermal treatment; 3) assessing the ultimate performance of the nitrided surface layer under friction and wear conditions (maximum permissible (at which the pair operates stably) and critical (after which the pair is inoperative, but its operation is possible under short-term overloads) pressures, the average total wear intensity of the sliding friction pair in contact under load as a whole, and friction losses). The results obtained can be used to optimize the technological process of chemical-thermal treatment of tribotechnical parts.
Laboratory study of main weathering processes of oil spilled in the marine environment
Authors: Ossipov K. , Maryutina T. A.
Published: February 2025

The methodology and results of studying the main weathering processes of oil spilled in the marine environment are presented in this paper. Evaporation, dissolution, emulsification and natural dispersion were considered. The influence of oil weathering processes on the selection of oil spill response method (mechanical, physicochemical, or thermal) was estimated. The tests were carried out using various oil samples recovered in the Russian Federation taking into account the hydrometeorological conditions of the seas located in temperate latitudes. The low significance of natural dispersion for the fate of oil spill was established (especially under conditions of calm sea state and in the case of bituminous superviscous oil). Evaporation and emulsification were confirmed to be the most important oil weathering processes from the point of view of selecting an oil spill response method. The physicochemical properties of oil can change dramatically during these processes. It was shown that the evaporation losses for light low-viscosity oil were much greater than those for bituminous superviscous oil. This was reflected in the density and dynamic viscosity of the resulting residues. It was noted that evaporation of a significant proportion of light oil fractions can negatively affect the effectiveness of dispersant application and in situ burning. A high tendency to be emulsified (regardless of conditions) was revealed for bituminous superviscous oil. This led to obtaining emulsions with very high water content and dynamic viscosity. The necessity to take into account the physicochemical properties of residues formed as a result of oil evaporation and emulsification on the water surface when selecting oil spill response method or oil spill modeling method was noted. The compounds (alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons and organic sulfides) capable of changing water toxicological characteristics were registered in the water samples taken after tests of studying the oil dissolution process.
Rapid estimation of the fatigue limit of polymer composite materials using infrared thermography
Authors: Solomonov D. G. , Nikhamkin M. Sh.
Published: February 2025

To ensure the reliability of structural elements made of polymer composite materials operating under vibration conditions, it is necessary to have data on their resistance to destruction for a reason of high-cycle fatigue. The traditional approach to determining the fatigue strength characteristics of materials involves long-term expensive tests. The infrared thermography method for express estimation of the fatigue limit was actively developed in recent years. The method is based on the use of self-heating of the material under cyclic loads exceeding the fatigue limit. The purpose of this work is to develop, within the framework of the infrared thermography method, a technique for experimental rapid assessment of the fatigue limit of polymer composite materials using the example of laminated carbon fiber, substantiation of the choice of controlled parameters of the thermal state of samples and processing of the results. The technique was developed using the example of laminated carbon fiber. Standard samples were subjected to block cyclic loading in the «tension-tension» cycle on the resonance testing machine. The surface temperature of the samples was recorded during loading using a precision infrared camera. Four variants of processing the test results were compared. The first two options are based on the use of the maximum and averaged stabilization temperature over the sample surface in the loading blocks. The third and fourth options are based on the use of increase of the maximum and averaged temperature at the beginning of the loading block. The estimates of the fatigue limit obtained by named four variants of the thermogram processing method are in agree with each other and with the results of standard fatigue tests. The use of the infrared thermography method makes it possible to significantly reduce the number of tested samples, the labor intensity and duration of work compared with standard fatigue tests. This allows us to recommend the described methodology for obtaining an express estimation of the fatigue limit at the stage of development of products made of composite materials when choosing design and technological solutions.

Published: February 2025

In criminal investigations, photocopied documents represent the most dependable evidence in the absence of the original document. In this research paper, an effort has been made to study the effect of ink colour on line quality features of signature in multigeneration photocopies in ten different subsequent generations. Some of the line-quality features that were looked at were the beginning and ending strokes of letters or words, handwriting features like ink smudging, and writer features like pen lifts and tremors. This study collected various documents featuring original signatures in blue, black, red, and green ink. We obtained the signatures from various official personnel on A4-sized white paper, using both gel and ballpoint pens. The original and photocopied signature samples such as original, generation 1, generation 2, generation 3 and till 10th generation were examined manually with the help of magnifying lens. The handwriting characteristics of original & photocopied signatures were examined under Video Spectral Comparator 6000 HS (Foster & Freeman Co Ltd England) under higher magnification power along with various light sources. This research was carried out to assist Forensic Document Examiners in recognizing the common difficulties found in the line quality features of multi-generation photo-copies of signature samples.

Authors: Asmaa Hamza Radeef
Published: February 2025

Backgrounds: Headache, a painful sensation in the head or neck, can be categorized as primary, tension-type, and cluster headaches. Factors influencing nitric oxide levels, such the eNOS gene mutation and uric acid, may result in endothelial dysfunction. This study intends to evaluate these parameters.
Objectives: Assess the factors that may affect the levels of nitric oxide, which is the main mediator of endothelial dysfunction.
Material and Methods: The study includes 40 individuals who suffer from headaches and 40 healthy volunteers who are matched in terms of age and gender. eNOS enzyme concentration, as well as the measurement of blood levels of nitric oxide and uric acid.
Results: The headache group exhibited a substantially decreased serum nitric oxide concentration (P < 0.05) than the control group. Additionally, the serum uric acid level in the headache group is significantly lower than that of the control group.

In the headache group, there was a substantial positive correlation between the serum level of NO and the serum uric acid concentration (r =0.307, P <0.01).
Conclusion: The study suggests a role of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of migraine with the GG genotype of eNOS gene as a distinct risk factor for developing migraine.

With the increasing wind energy demand in the electricity grid, reliable, accurate, and precise wind energy prediction is necessary to manage and correctly operate the interconnected power systems. Therefore, wind energy forecasting plays a significant role in wind energy utilization, particularly wind speed forecasting. Given the importance of wind speed forecasting and its resource assessment, numerous forecasting methods have been proposed in the literature, each with its advantages and disadvantages. A search for effective wind speed forecasts in wind energy management and resource assessment poses a significant challenging task. This paper carried out an overview of the different methods of wind forecasting techniques and resource assessment parameters needed for accurate wind generation modeling in power systems planning, operation, and control. This is also useful in electricity market designing with high renewable penetration and provision of ancillary services.

This study investigated gestational syphilis trends in Brazil from 2008 to 2022, focusing on ethnic disparities, temporal progression, and clinical-stage distribution. Using retrospective data from Brazil’s Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), we analyzed 410,630 reported cases to quantify annual trends and interactions between ethnicity, time, and disease severity. A Negative Binomial regression model revealed a 35% annual increase in cases (Incidence Rate Ratio [IRR] = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.20–1.53), with the highest burden observed among the Brown (Parda) population (53.5% of cases). Latent-stage infections predominated (44.2%), followed by primary (37.1%), tertiary (12.1%), and secondary stages (6.6%). Indigenous populations exhibited marginally slower progression (IRR = 0.86, p= 0.090), while no significant differences emerged between Black (Preta) and other ethnic groups. Structural inequities, including delayed diagnosis and inconsistent prenatal care, were linked to persistent latent-stage infections and elevated tertiary-stage rates in marginalized communities. These findings underscore the urgent need for equity-focused interventions, such as expanded rapid testing and culturally tailored healthcare programs, to mitigate Brazil’s escalating syphilis epidemic.

The objective of the current study is to develop a conceptual framework that could explain the role of customer relationship management in enhancing the loyalty of customers to online fashion commerce platforms (websites or mobile apps). An explanatory research design was conducted to achieve the objective of the current research. A total of 235 samples from online fashion commerce in Indonesia participated via offline and online surveys. The collected data was analyzed using SEM-PLS. Three validation steps were utilized: outer model analysis, inner model analysis, and hypothesis testing. The results of the outer model analysis confirmed that all the items used to measure each of the variables in the model were a good fit. In addition, the results of the inner model analysis also validated the robustness of the proposed conceptual framework in explaining the relationships between the variables. The first key finding of the current research is that a seamless shopping experience does not directly influence the loyalty of online fashion commerce customers. However, interesting results were found regarding the role of customer trust and customer satisfaction in this relationship. These two variables fully mediated the influence of a seamless shopping experience on customer loyalty.
