Introducción: Las vías de comunicación son parte del desarrollo económico y social en todo el mundo. El desarrollo de carreteras causa la fragmentación de ecosistemas naturales, aumentando el riesgo de mortalidad de los animales silvestres por atropellamientos vehiculares. Objetivo: Analizar la tasa de mortalidad de vertebrados silvestres atropellados de acuerdo con la temporada climática y el grado de urbanización en una zona costera del estado de Guerrero, al sur de México. Métodos: Se realizaron 12 recorridos con tres observadores en un vehículo a una velocidad de 30 km/h durante un año (junio de 2021 a mayo de 2022). Los organismos fueron georreferenciados e identificados. Se calculó la tasa de atropellamiento (atropellos/día/kilómetro) de los vertebrados silvestres. Resultados: Se registraron 37 especies de vertebrados silvestres atropellados, de las cuales nueve están en peligro de extinción y siete son endémicas de México. Los mamíferos presentaron la tasa de mortalidad más elevada (0.126 animales atropellados/día/km). No hubo diferencias en la tasa de mortalidad entre temporadas. Se detectaron 11 puntos calientes (hotspots) de atropellos. Se identificaron más vertebrados silvestres atropellados en zonas de baja urbanización que en áreas de media y alta. Conclusión: Nuestros resultados mostraron que los mamíferos son los vertebrados silvestres más vulnerables a los atropellamientos vehiculares. El riesgo de atropellamientos de animales silvestres está relacionado con el nivel de urbanización. Este estudio puede ser una herramienta en el desarrollo de carreteras sustentables para la fauna silvestre.

Introduction: Pierre Robin sequence is a congenital developmental disorder the aetiology of which is not fully understood. The prevalence of Pierre Robin sequence ranges from 1:8,500 to 1:20,000 live births, with mortality estimated between 3.6% and 21%. Anatomic malformations present in patients with Pierre Robin sequence cause airway obstruction and difficulties in oral feeding. Aim: The aim of this study was to summarise the current state of knowledge on conservative treatment methods and appropriate care for patients with Pierre Robin sequence. Materials and methods: We conducted a literature review on non-invasive treatment methods and appropriate care for patients with Pierre Robin sequence. Databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar were used. Relevant articles were identified using keywords. Results: Actions that support the functioning of newborns with Pierre Robin sequence include nasopharyngeal intubation, prone positioning, nasogastric tube feeding, and feeding-facilitating techniques. The first two methods enable airway clearance in the patient. Another challenge in children with Pierre Robin sequence is meeting their caloric needs. Nasogastric tube feeding and a hypercaloric diet may be necessary to fulfil those needs. Nutritive and non-nutritive sucking training also proves helpful. Conclusion: Although the treatment of children with Pierre Robin sequence is lengthy, their hospitalisation time can be reduced. Caregivers should accompany patients throughout the hospitalisation period to acquire knowledge and skills that ensure continuity of care after the infant’s discharge.
Development of FeSi steel with increased Si content by laser powder bed fusion technology for ferromagnetic cores application: Microstructure and properties
Authors: Stornelli Giulia , Vargas Bryan Ramiro Rodriguez , Folgarait Paolo , Ridolfi M. Rita , Sgambetterra Mirko , Di Schino Andrea
Published: September 2023

Additive manufacturing technology like laser powder bed fusion represents a valid alternative for the production of ferromagnetic cores. In this study, two grades of steel were considered, with standard (3.0 wt%) and high (6.5 wt%) Si content. The study is aimed at optimizing the process parameters in order to obtain components suitable for magnetic applications. Moreover, the effect of post-production annealing heat treatment on the microstructure evolution is investigated. The investigation included microstructural analysis by optical microscope, dynamic scanning calorimetry analysis and electro-magnetic measurements on samples with optimized geometry. Results shows that both types of steel can be produced free from defects. Even if the magnetic behaviour of FeSi6.5 samples by AM do not fully reproduces that obtained on electrical steels manufactured by standard process, it appears quite promising. In this framework the optimization of post-production processes represents a promising challenge to meet market demands.

Phospholipases A and Lysophospholipases in protozoan parasites
Authors: Hervé Perrine , Monic Sarah , Bringaud Frédéric , Rivière Loïc
Published: September 2023

Phospholipases (PLs) and Lysophospholipases (LysoPLs) are a diverse group of esterases responsible for phospholipid or lysophospholipid hydrolysis. They are involved in several biological processes, including lipid catabolism, modulation of the immune response and membrane maintenance. PLs are classified depending on their site of hydrolysis as PLA1, PLA2, PLC and PLD. In many pathogenic microorganisms, from bacteria to fungi, PLAs and LysoPLs have been described as critical virulence and/or pathogenicity factors. In protozoan parasites, a group containing major human and animal pathogens, growing literature show that PLAs and LysoPLs are also involved in the host infection. Their ubiquitous presence and role in host-pathogen interactions make them particularly interesting to study. In this review, we summarize the literature on PLAs and LysoPLs in several protozoan parasites of medical relevance, and discuss the growing interest for them as potential drug and vaccine targets.

Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the category «ethics/unethicality» in the field of advertising communications. The main goal was to analyze the ethics of advertising messages regarding the impact on the target audience based on the use of verbal and visual components of advertising communications and to identify mechanisms for regulating the advertising sphere in the Russian Federation. The following research methods were used by the authors: the observation method; the method of systematization and classification of material; the methods of definitional and contextual analysis, etc. Based on theoretical material and practical analysis of advertising communications, the author concludes that advertisers often create unethical advertising in order to attract consumer’s attention. Besides, the existing policy of regulating this area does not contribute to the solution of ethical problems of created advertising appeals. Thus, it is necessary to improve the mechanism of communication between all subjects of the advertising market.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Lyapustina Polina A.
Published: September 2023

The object of the research in the article is virtualization of the space of a modern museum as a new model of communicative culture. The interpretation of the museum as a center for storing historically significant relics — forms of cultural memory in order to present and study them acquires a more voluminous content within the new paradigm, ensuring the influence of museum communications on the real cultural process. Based on the research of domestic museologists (Z. A. Bonami, T. M. Troshina, A. V. Smirnov, etc.), the author considers the processes of modifying the museum as a social institution in the era of globalization and digitalization and proves that thanks to network technologies, its functionality: the museum has turned from a repository and review of artifacts of the past into an open interactive space focused on dialogue with the visitors, awakening their creative activity and intellectual potential.

Published: September 2023

In a dynamically changing world, an urgent task is to identify the features of the formation of traditional values in the individual when interacting with parents, children, friends, work colleagues, fellow countrymen, compatriots, representatives of different countries, and peoples. In the following study, consideration of social values is carried out based on the author’s concept of analyzing cultures that are opposite in orientation and content: the culture of cooperation and the culture of egoism. The formation of traditional values in a person takes place in a system of social interactions with different communities in the process of primary socialization. The role of the family in developing the value of thinking about other people, taking into account their interests, engaging in joint work aimed at creating home comfort, conditions for self­development is revealed. The features of traditional values that determine the stability of friendly ties or their destruction are considered. It is shown that the social ties that arise in the process of teaching high school and University students are characterized by the fact that they combine joint and individual work while acquiring knowledge, skills, skills in a special way. The need for special education aimed at affirming in the minds of young people traditional values of the cooperation culture is determined. The contradictions arising in the process of the formation of values regarding individual’s work activity in the conditions of market relations are revealed.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Antonova Natalya L. , Abramova Sofya B. ,   Ural Federal University, Dyachenko Viktoria D. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: September 2023

The article provides a sociological analysis of the perception of the ideal female body and the practices of its construction in the youth community. The ideas of girls regarding the ideal body, barriers to achievement and design practices are revealed. Based on the online survey of undergraduate students (n = 160), as well as data from expert interviews, it is argued that the body as an ideal model should correspond to the hourglass model as referred to average height. Speaking about the actors influencing the representations of girls, a significant role is played by media personalities who not only demonstrate physical attractiveness, but also possess higher status. At the same time, the processes of digitalization of social practices determine both the gap between the normativity of the body and its functionality, and the growth of distrust in the proposed online methods of working with the body. The main practice of body design is physical activity, including the use of online products, and laziness becomes a barrier to achieving a perfect body shape.

Authors: Salsabila Brissa Isabel , Rahman Farid , Lindoyo Yenny
Published: September 2023

PURPOSE: Older adults experience a degenerative process that causes several health problems such as an increased risk of falling due to poor balance. However, to reduce the risk of falling exercise is used as an early intervention. The study aimed to understand the differences in the effect of single-leg stance exercises and bridging exercises with core stability exercises on increasing balance in older adults.METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Salus Medica Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic using a sample of 30 individuals divided into two groups. The interventions were conducted twice weekly for one month. The evaluation included first, middle, and final evaluations using the Berg Balance Scale. Moreover, the statistical test was used to determine the effect of intergroup administration on increasing the balance of older adults, whereas the independent t-test was used to determine the effects of intergroup administration on increasing balance among older adults.RESULTS: The results of the repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed that the p-value assumed sphericity in both groups (p=.000), which implies that the two groups improved the balance of the older adults. The independent t-test identified that the p-value equal variances were assumed (p=.572), which indicated no difference in the effect between the two groups in increasing the balance of older adults.CONCLUSIONS: No significant difference between single-leg stance exercises with core stability exercises and bridging exercises with core stability exercises in improving balance among older adults was observed.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the relationship between blood glucose level changes and body characteristics during exercise and to present six models for predicting changes in blood glucose levels during exercise.METHODS: 148 healthy men and women (age: 31.9±9.7 year, fasting blood glucose: 102.1±14.1 mg/dL, p=.032) participated in the study, and 30 of them participated in the study. Eight variables were selected to build two prediction models: 24-hour ingested carbohydrates, age, blood glucose, heart rate changes, sex, skeletal muscle mass, heart rate recovery after exercise, and resting heart rate. Logistic regression and random forest classifier models were used to predict the changes in blood glucose levels during exercise.RESULTS: A total of six models were created for all participants, male and female. Random forest classification (training set: AUC=0.837, Youden index=0.66; validation set: AUC=0.730, Youden index=0.53) and logistic regression classification models (training set: AUC=0.807, Youden index=0.55; validation set: AUC=0.735, Youden index=0.57) were built.CONCLUSION: The random forest model showed good performance in classifying internal data, whereas the logistic regression classification model demonstrated relatively good performance in classifying validation data.
Effects of Resistance Exercise on Older Individuals with Sarcopenia: Sex Differences in Humans
Authors: Noh Ki-woong , Park Sok
Published: September 2023

Sarcopenia affects tens of millions of adults worldwide, with a reported prevalence of 10-50% among older adults. A decrease in muscle strength and function due to aging reduces physical performance, causing pain and disease. Accordingly, interest in the treatment or prevention of sarcopenia through resistance exercises, which have been found to be effective in improving muscle strength and hypertrophy, is increasing. However, given the individual differences, it is difficult to determine the optimal RE method. Currently, the importance of personalized resistance exercise (RE) prescriptions is emphasized, and research on sex/gender differences needs to be conducted. Our review focused on the effects of resistance exercise on muscle strength, muscle hypertrophy, and muscle function in older adults in relation to sex differences. In this review, we aimed to analyze sex differences in the effect of RE on older adults with sarcopenia and provide meaningful information for future research on exercise programs for individuals with sarcopenia.

Authors: Park Soyoung , Ryu Seungho , Lee On
Published: September 2023

vPURPOSE: Cardiorespiratory fitness is closely related to cardiovascular and chronic diseases and is an important predictor of mortality. Despite the significance of cardiorespiratory fitness, currently, a lack of research exists that validates the effectiveness of the 6-minute walk test, specifically in the Korean population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to verify the validity of the 6-minute walk test for Korean older individuals and to develop a maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) prediction equation.METHODS: A total of 167 participants were included in the final analysis, after excluding 33 of the 200 participants. Moreover, VO2max was measured by performing a submaximal exercise test on a treadmill, and the total distance and heart rate were measured using a 6-minute walk test. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to verify the criterion validity between VO2max and total distance in the 6-minute walk test. To develop a VO2max prediction equation, multiple regression analysis was conducted and cross-validation of the developed prediction equation was confirmed.RESULTS: The correlation coefficient between VO2max and the 6-minute walk test was 0.575 (p<.001). The adjusted R2 of the VO2max prediction equation using the 6-minute walk test was 0.449 (p<.001). The difference between the predicted VO2max and measured VO2max was 1.184±1.331 mL/kg/min, and the correlation coefficient was 0.594 (p<.001).CONCLUSION: The developed prediction equation consisted of explanatory variables that can be measured easily and were practical in the field. As entry into a post-aged society is imminent, managing older adult’s physical fitness has become a significant issue. In the future, if the validity verification is performed with a large number of people, the prediction formula developed in this study will be useful.

Authors: Kim Yunwook , Lee Gyuho , Yoon Jaewoo , Kim Kijin
Published: September 2023

PURPOSE: This study aimed to analyze the combined treatment effect of fermented soybean intake (for additional protein intake) and resistance exercise (for muscle metabolism activation) on the molecular biological response index of white adipose tissue (WAT) browning.METHODS: The study included twenty 50-week-old male Wistar rats, who were made obese by being fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks and then were randomly divided into four groups, control (Con), fermented soybean intake (Soy), resistance exercise (RT), and fermented soybean intake and resistance exercise combination (Soy+RT). After 12 weeks of Soy and RT treatment, body composition, and protein expression patterns such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α), fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) were compared in extensor digitorum longus and retroperitoneal fat.RESULTS: The obese rats demonstrated a reduction in body weight and body fat mass, as well as maintenance of lean mass. Interestingly, the groups treated with Soy, RT, and Soy+RT displayed enhanced protein expression of PGC-1α, FNDC5, UCP1, and IL-6 in the extensor digitorum longus and retroperitoneal fat tissue than Con. In particular, the Soy+RT group displayed the most remarkable activation of the aforementioned protein levels in the muscle and adipose tissues.CONCLUSION: This study concluded that resistance exercise and fermented soybean intake can partly contribute to the browning of WAT.
Modern methods and tools in counteracting shadow economic activity
Authors: Diarova Adelina , Kapustina Nadezhda
Published: September 2023

This article describes the main approaches aimed at counteracting shadow economic activity. The author considered the existing regulatory framework in the field of combating shadow economic activity, and also determined the role of the state in the process of implementing the policy of countering the expansion of the shadow economy. it was noted that the conduct of a non-centralized policy of control over the shadow sector by the state could lead to serious irreparable consequences. In this case, the state will need to improve the control policy and strengthen measures to combat the shadow economy. The paper considers certain approaches to the fight against shadow economic activity, namely the radical liberal and legal ones. The first approach is aimed at increasing the number of employees of departmental services involved in combating shadow economic activity, while the second one is based on improving the existing legislation in the field of economic activity regulation, in particular, the sanctioning of the shadow economy. The author studied statistical data that reflect the size and scope of the shadow economy by country, as well as by regions of Russia. The paper describes a mechanism for assessing the level of shadow economic activity, while reflecting the shortcomings of modern methodology, which distorts the actual situation in the state, which leads to potential wrong decisions. In the final part of the article, the author suggested that a significant part of the population, against the background of increasing unemployment and a decrease in the general standard of living, have an urgent need for additional earnings, which is provided by the informal sector of the economy.
Development of educational loan programs
Authors: Pogosyan Garush
Published: September 2023

Within the framework of the presented article, the author examines the features of lending programs. Special attention is paid to educational loans and the history of their appearance and development in Russia. The author focuses on the fact that in Russia, unlike other countries, this type of loan appeared not so long ago, but is already in demand, since obtaining higher education acts as one of the main goals of every person. However, as you know, not everyone can apply for higher education on a budget basis, and not everyone can afford to study on a commercial basis. In addition, education is becoming more and more expensive every year, and this burden often falls on the shoulders of parents. In this regard, an educational loan acts as one of the optimal ways to solve this problem. At the same time, it should be noted that the funds received by the borrower as part of an educational loan can only be used to pay for tuition at both a higher educational institution and an educational institution where secondary vocational education can be obtained. Of course, there are some requirements for obtaining an educational loan, as with other types of lending. The article contains a list of mandatory conditions for obtaining a loan. Special attention in the article is paid to the analysis of the history of the development of educational lending in Russia and the most significant lending program. The author emphasizes that Sberbank made a special contribution to the development of educational loan programs, which adjusted the loan conditions several times. The final part of the article is devoted to highlighting the positive and negative aspects of educational lending programs, on the basis of which the author formulates conclusions regarding possible ways of developing this type of loan.
Analysis of possible directions for improving the operational risk management mechanism
Authors: Andrushchenko Alexandra , Prasolov Valeriy
Published: September 2023

This article is devoted to the study of the operational risks of the organization, as well as the consideration of various mechanisms for managing them. The relevance of studying this issue is emphasized by the need for banks to implement internal corporate measures in order to ensure the proper level of economic stability and security. The article presents the components of risk management, their types and features. As the author notes, the operational risk management system in the Bank ensures security in the activities of various structures and is aimed at continuous improvement, taking into account the possible emergence of new risks. Particular attention in the article is paid to the assessment system, which is most widely used in the process of selecting candidates for a position by modeling the situation in which his competencies are manifested. The author emphasizes that this method is actively used in practice in other countries, but in Russia its use is not so widespread. The information obtained through the assessment is used in the ranking of candidates for the position and selection, taking into account its "security" in relation to the Bank. However, risk management is carried out not only at the stage of selection of candidates. In order to assess the effectiveness of personnel, annual certification is carried out, under the supervision of persons specially trained for this purpose, authorized to analyze employees. In addition, I would like to focus on the fact that an important role in ensuring economic security is played by the internal corporate Assessment Center, which is engaged in the certification of personnel on issues of their competence. The success of the bank's activities is largely dependent on the qualifications of key employees. Currently, there is a shortage of qualified personnel in operations, engineering and technology areas, on which the implementation of business processes at different levels depends. In the final part of the article, the author formulates conclusions regarding possible directions for improving the practical implementation of the operational risk management mechanism.

Authors: Sokolov Egor , Koroleva Lyudmila
Published: September 2023

Within the framework of the presented article, the author explores the issue of finding ways to minimize operational risks associated with the activities of personnel. The article presents several methods for assessing such risks, however, according to the author, one of the most effective methods is stress testing, which allows assessing a possible increase in risk. The article lists in detail the goals, principles and features of stress testing. In addition, the role of consolidated reporting on the level of operational risks in ensuring the economic security of the organization is analyzed. The author notes that this procedure allows you to track operational risks and analyze the factors affecting it over time. However, it must be understood that in the case of risks associated with personnel, they must be eliminated at the first stage, that is, their selection for a position. Many experts suggest using stress testing, the essence of which is to model the task that the candidate needs to solve. The behavior and actions of the candidate in this case are evaluated by a number of factors listed in the article. Based on the information received, the expert group makes a conclusion on each candidate and compiles a ranking list of candidates according to professionally important qualities. The article also simulates a situation, on the example of which the process of evaluating the actions of candidates is clearly considered. The methodology allows you to rank the list of candidates for various categories, as well as provide a report in the form of consolidated information in the context of individual criteria that are necessary for the employer. In the final part of the article, the author formulates a conclusion regarding the developed method for assessing and minimizing operational risks.
JOSÉ DA SILVA LISBOA NO DEBATE SOBRE AS REVOLUÇÕES LIBERAIS DE SEU TEMPO
Authors: Souza Ana Carolina
Published: September 2023

No decorrer da primeira metade do século XIX, o debate político brasileiro foi marcado por divergências entre os diversos agentes políticos sobre como deveria ser a organização da sociedade brasileira, o modelo da sua economia e a configuração do Estado. Neste debate, certas palavras, tais como independência, constituição, cidadão, liberdade e revolução foram usadas carregando sentidos controversos.  No texto aqui proposto, exploro os sentidos da utilização do termo revolução por José da Silva Lisboa (Visconde de Cairu), um dos mais influentes políticos do período, evidenciando a relação dessas suas concepções com o projeto de Estado por ele defendido. Adotando  a  proposta metodológica de interpretação do texto político feita por Renato Janine Ribeiro (2004), tenho como ponto de partida a análise dos próprios argumentos dos textos de Lisboa, considerando-os como construções pertinentes ao seu tempo histórico. Oriento-me também pelas ponderações de Cecilia H. L. de Salles Oliveira (1999) (2020), ao enxergar os escritos dentro de ambientes de disputas políticas que ensejam lutas simbólicas e de representação. Considerando essas orientações metodológicas, foi possível perceber o modo ambíguo como Lisboa tratava o tema da revolução: por um lado o abordando positivamente para descrever a elevação política do Brasil à condição de Reino; e por outro, discutindo-o para rebater o movimento revolucionário francês e as manifestações de revolta que defendiam uma ordem política republicana no Brasil. Além disso, são expostas e analisadas as semelhanças dos argumentos do autor com a concepção política conservadora de Edmund Burke (1982).
New legal framework for innovation and the national innovative capacity: an analysis of selected indicators
Authors: Wolffenbüttel Rodrigo Foresta , Dilelio Rodrigo Campos
Published: September 2023

A presente pesquisa tem como escopo analisar a evolução de indicadores de inovação e da produção científica e tecnológica do país no período 2010-2020, colocando em questão as relações deste desempenho, com as mudanças de conteúdo normativo impressas no marco legal do Sistema Nacional de Inovação (SNI) brasileiro, tomando por base a Emenda Constitucional 85/2015, a Lei Federal Nº 13.243/2016, e o Decreto Nº 9.283/2018. Este conjunto de normas, entretanto, foi implementado em meio a um contexto de estagnação econômica e a uma violenta confrontação entre as orientações desenvolvimentista e fiscalista da agenda econômica brasileira, refletindo em forte recuo do PIB, da renda, aumento do desemprego, da inflação e da dívida pública. Com isso em vista, este estudo visa investigar, de forma exploratória, as alterações promovidas pelo novo marco legal da inovação, em termos de ambiente regulatório, e suas implicações para a capacidade inovativa nacional. O diagnóstico aponta as limitações no cumprimento dos objetivos propostos pela nova política, apesar de avanços relevantes, em decorrência de outros fatores do sistema, como crises externas, políticas concorrentes e ausência de coordenação estratégica.

Authors: Querzoli Giulia , Veronesi Giulia , Corti Barbara , Nottegar Alessia , Dika Emi
Published: September 2023

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) incidence has dramatically increased in the last years. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance in terms of prognosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are being proposed for clinicians and pathologists as an adjunct support in the diagnostic process. We described herein an overview of the most important parameters that a potential AI tool should take into consideration in histopathology to evaluate a skin lesion. First of all, recognition of a melanocytic or non-melanocytic nature. Furthermore, melanocytic lesions should be stratified according to at least four parameters: silhouette and asymmetry; identification and spatial distribution of the cells; mitosis count; presence of ulceration.

Mycochemical properties and bioactivities of Ganoderma resinaceum and Serpula similis remain unexplored. The present study assessed antioxidant, cytotoxicity, and cell migration abilities of Ganoderma and Serpula extracts, followed by their phytochemical analyses. The MTT assay was conducted to determine the cytotoxicity along with the cell migration studies in human cancer cell lines. The antioxidant profiles were evaluated through DPPH and FRAP assays. Furthermore, LC-MS/MS analysis was performed to elucidate the phytochemicals responsible for anticancer and antioxidant activities. Significant concentration-dependent cytotoxicities of 12.7% and 13.7% were observed against HCT 116 cell lines at 1% and 5% concentrations of the G. resinaceum extract, respectively. Similarly, significant concentration-dependent cytotoxicities of 6.7% and 25.5% were observed at 1% and 5% concentrations of the S. similis extract, respectively. The extracts of G. resinaceum and S. similis both shows better anti-migration potential in lung cancer cells. Both extracts demonstrated good scavenging activity on DPPH and ferric ion free radicals. LC-MS analysis revealed 11 compounds from S. similis and 15 compounds from G. resinaceum fruiting bodies. Compounds such as terpenoids, alkaloids, cytotoxic peptides, and other metabolites were identified as major components in both extracts. These extracts exhibited cytotoxic activity against HCT 116 cancer cells, along with moderate antioxidant activity. This implies that the extracts might be used as bioactive natural sources in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

In this article, the boundary layer flow of an electrically-conducting fluid through a porous medium attached with a radiative permeable stretching sheet is analyzed. Following the Brinkman theory, an extended Darcy model (Darcy-Brinkman model) is utilized for the model momentum equation. Heat transfer analysis is also performed in the presence of viscous and Joule dissipation. Moreover, in the modeling of the energy equation, the effects of internal heating resulting from the mechanical effort required to squeeze out the fluid through the porous medium are also included in porous dissipation. Suitable dimensionless variables are introduced to convert the governing boundary layer equations into a dimensionless form, which are then converted into self-similar, nonlinear ordinary differential equations by utilizing similarity transformations. The exact solution of the nonlinear self-similar momentum equation is obtained in the form of the exponential function. In contrast, the solution of the energy equation is computed through the Laplace transform technique in the form of Kummer confluent hypergeometric functions. Effects of involved physical parameters on the momentum boundary layer (MBL),
thermal boundary layer (TBL), wall shear stress, and local Nusselt number are explored through graphs and tables.
Moreover, the slope linear regression (SLR) technique is used to calculate the rate of decrease/increase in shear stress and the rate of heat transfer at the boundary. The velocity and momentum boundary layer decreases for large values of porosity parameter and increases by increasing the viscosity ratio. The shear stress increases by increasing the porosity parameter, Hartman number, and suction parameter, while the opposite effect is examined with increasing values of viscosity ratio parameter. Heat transfer rate also enhances by increasing the Brinkman viscosity ratio parameter and wall suction velocity.

This didactic plan, which starts from the characterization of the instructional design of the English level 3 course of the Open Lingua Program, is an improvement proposal focused on teaching this course online. In this context, the course planning, divided into three specific stages, involved several steps. First, the role of the teacher and students in the process of learning and teaching is very important, and it was defined based on the postulates of some authors. After that, the expected learning evidence was reviewed and edited considering the linguistic competences the students are expected to achieve during the course. Next, some didactic activities are designed to provide the students with the grammar and vocabulary content they need to achieve the learning objectives. Finally, the different technological tools used before, during and after to communicate with students, teach classes, clarify doubts, give feedback, and generate content, among other functions, are described. Undoubtedly, teaching, and learning English as foreign language can greatly improve if adequate technologies and didactic strategies are used when providing online instruction.

Over the past decade, organic semiconductors have been of great interest in basic research and practical applications. Composites based on organic materials have become widespread due to their unique properties and partial biodegradability: they are also suitable as sensitive materials — sensors for detecting various gases. One such gas is carbon monoxide or a different carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide occurs wherever conditions exist for incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances. One of the industrial industries where carbon monoxide is emitted in large volumes is the oil and gas industry. The main source in this industry are flares for combustion of associated gases, during the operation of gas turbine plants, as well as exhaust gases from internal combustion engines of construction, drilling equipment, vehicles, etc. Due to the high toxicity of carbon monoxide, it is necessary to create highly sensitive materials for CO sensors. So, when inhaling small concentrations of carbon monoxide (up to 1000 mg/m3), a person feels heaviness in the head, dizziness, nausea, a feeling of pleasant exhaustion, due to which a person cannot soon leave the affected area, and with prolonged (2–3 months) contact with CO, chronic carbon monoxide poisoning is possible at a concentration of 10-50 mg/m3. Therefore, the search for a new material having high sensitivity and selectivity to carbon monoxide is relevant. The purpose of this study is to develop a highly sensitive electronic gas sensor for detecting carbon monoxide at room temperature. The films were made by irrigation from a polymer solution containing graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes. The morphology of the surface of thin polymer films was investigated, spectral chemical analysis was carried out, voltampere characteristics of sensors were measureed0 and an IoT (Internet of Things) solution for remote monitoring was developed. The results show a good response and repeatability of the results at room temperature, allowing the thin films of the graphene polymer-CNT oxide composite to be considered a promising electronic sensor material for CO detection.

The article provides a justification for the gel-forming compositionfor well water insulation based on sodium silicate, PAA and chromiumacetate with increased strength characteristics due to the introductionof a dispersed additive — rice husk, which simultaneously exhibits viscoplasticand viscoelastic properties.Oscillation testing provided for the determination of elastic modulus (G')and loss (G"), linear measurement range and quantitative determination ofviscoelastic and viscoplastic properties of hydrogel based on the interpretationof the results of creep and recovery studies using mechanical modelsof Maxwell, Kelvin-Voigt and Burgers, previously successfully used in thediscussion of the behavior of polymer systems.It is established that when approximating experimental measurements, onelink of the Kelvin-Voigt model is not enough, therefore, the Burgers computationalmodel is recommended, which corresponds to two relaxationtimes of a viscoelastic medium due to two types of crosslinking: ionic (dueto the bonding of the chromium ion with the polymer) and flocculation(due to the flocculation of dispersed rice husk particles by polymer macromolecules).Filtration studies performed on the model of an ideal crack with differentopenings (from 0.01 to 0.1 cm) have established that the introduction ofrice husk into the hydrogel composition leads to an increase in its strengthcharacteristics and resistance to mechanical destruction.In the case of filtration through a 0.1 cm slit, there was no noticeable differencein the rheological behavior of the hydrogel with and without theaddition of rice husk, except for some strengthening of the gel during filtrationat low shear rates.A mechanism responsible for the behavior of a hydrogel with this dispersedadditive in cracks of various openings is proposed.The application of the developed hydrogel composition is promising inreal fractured reservoirs, through which water flows to the well and, as aconsequence, its flooding.
