The article presents data reflecting the features of the synthesis of IgM and IgG in pigs of the SM-1 breed of Novosibirsk selection in phylogenesis. The studies were conducted on pigs on the 30th, 60th, 90th and 240th days of life in 1990, 1996 and 2006. birth. Each group of animals included 66 animals. Groups of animals were formed according to the method of analogues, taking into account age, body weight, sex and health. Pigs were bled from the cranial vena cava. The concentration of IgM and IgG in the blood serum of animals was determined by simple radial immunodiffusion. The study results showed that pigs born in 1990 differ from their peers born in 1996 and 2006 in statistically significant high levels of IgM at 30, 60, and 240 days of age and increased activity of IgG synthesis at three months of age. So, at 30 days of age, piglets born in 1990 exceeded the IgM content in the blood serum of sucklings born in 1996 by 15.5% (P<0.001) and piglets born in 2006 - by 20.0% (P<0.001). On the 60th day of life, the differences between pigs born in 1990 and 1996 and between 1990 and 2006 were, respectively, 26.2 (P<0.01) and 32.5% (P<0.01). In pigs on the 240th day of life, born in 1990, the concentration of IgM in the blood serum was 44.6% (P<0.001) higher than in pigs born in 1996 and 48.0% (P<0.001) higher than in pigs 2006 year of birth. At two months, piglets born in 1990 were inferior in IgG level to piglets born in 1996 by 24.4% and too young animals born in 2006 by 24.7% (P<0.01). A month after weaning, pigs born in 1990 demonstrated the best rehabilitation qualities of the immune system. As a result, piglets born in 1990 were ahead of their counterparts in 1996 and 2006. births by 26.1% (P<0.001) and 26.0% (P<0.001), respectively. Pigs 1996 and 2006 birth throughout the study showed a stable level of antibody genesis.

Published: October 2023

Industrial poultry farming is the leading branch of agriculture. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the body’s physiological state, the resistance of organs and tissues, and their resistance to various influences during the intensive use of poultry. These factors are the basis for maintaining the health and productivity of the bird. Different biologically active substances are used to increase young poultry’s viability. Probiotics deserve special attention. They are essential in the first days of the life of young animals when the intestines are colonised by microflora. Probiotics deserve special attention. They are necessary for the first days of the life of young animals when the intestines are colonised by microflora. The study aimed to study the effect of the probiotic preparation Vetom 1.1 on chickens’ growth and blood biochemistry parameters. The research was carried out based on LLC APF “Yeniseiskaya”—Maloeniseikoye of the Biysk district of the Altai Territory. Two groups of analogue chickens were formed: experimental and control. Each group had 15 Brown Nick goals. In the biochemical study of blood, the following were considered: total protein, glucose, cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase. The assessment was done every two weeks from the first day of life. Thus, the effectiveness of using probiotics as a prophylactic agent and growth stimulator of chickens was established. On the first day of life in chickens, the metabolic parameters (total protein, glucose, cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase) were in the lower range of physiological values. In control chickens, there was a tendency to metabolic disorders and an increased likelihood of liver damage by the 4th month of life. The probiotic preparation Vetom 1.1 in the diet normalises metabolic processes and increases average daily gains in chickens.

Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of three-year field trials of the mixed experimental bio preparation Phytop 26.82, consisting of the bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens RCIM (All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms) B 10642, Bacillus licheniformis RCIM (All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms) B 10562, Bacillus subtilis RCIM (All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms) Microorganisms) B 10641, nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys oligospora RCIM (All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms) F-1141 and Duddingtonia flagrans VKM F-2574, as well as the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, against the central raspberry disease - purple spot in the production plantations of the culture. The concentration of the mixture was 105 CFU/ml. As a comparison, we used the chemical fungicide Topaz, EC (emulsion concentrate) at 0.1% concentration. Previously, the authors evaluated the effect of this microbial mixture on the pathogen Didymella applanata in laboratory conditions, which was the basis of field trials. It was found that when one-year-old raspberry shoots were affected by purple spotting, the treatment of vegetative plants reduced the development of the disease by almost three times for more than a month after applying the microbial mixture. Furthermore, the prevalence of the disease decreased by two times or more relative to the control. The biological efficiency of the experimental bio preparation Phytop 26.82 reached 72.7%, comparable to the Topaz chemical fungicide. This mixed microbiological preparation is promising as an environmentally friendly means of protecting raspberries from purple spotting while suppressing other potential diseases and pests on this crop and reducing the undesirable influence of abiotic environmental factors.

Could strengthening the skills of proportional calculus improve astronomy learning in children?
Authors: Edelsztein Valeria
Published: October 2023

Students have numerous difficulties operating with astronomical sizes and distances. This work presents the results of a didactic intervention framed in the Conceptual Integration Theory (CIT) and the cognitive strategy of “mental anchors” in the context of astronomy teaching in elementary school. It consisted of the implementation of several activities to promote the understanding, identification and production of scale representations based on an in-depth work on the proportional reasoning process, perspective and the choice of reference systems under the hypothesis that strengthening these skills could improve the learning of astronomy. To evaluate its effectiveness, results were compared within three groups of 10 and 11 years-old students (N=54) subjected to the intervention and one control group (N=20). Based on the results, the intervention was successful: the students improved greatly their ability to recognize and produce scale representations regarding astronomical scales and strengthened the concept of perspective and its relation to the perception of the size of objects in terms of size and distance.
A Methodological Contribution to Efficient Dynamic Assessment of Reliability Using Satisfiability Approach
Authors: Fotsa-Mbogne David Jaurès , Ftatsi-Mbetmi Guy de Patience , Ndje Martial , Tadie-Silatchom Markert Benjaulys
Published: October 2023

This work is concerned with the problem of computing of the reliability for multi-component systems given their dynamic fault trees. The recent literature provided satisfiability methods using the conjunctive normal form (CNF) of the structure function which is usually initially given under its disjunctive normal form (DNF) before using existing satisfiability (SAT) solvers. The conversion of the DNF of the structure function to its CNF is actually very costly. The main contribution of this paper is to propose an efficient method to compute the reliability polynomial using directly the DNF which is itself obtained efficiently from the dynamic fault tree. This involves the representation of logic functions by sets of three-level numeric tuples and the definition of logic operations adapted on these sets. The proposed method ensures polynomial complexity with respect to the number of nodes in the fault tree, the maximum number of inputs of the different logic gates being fixed.

Authors: Behroozi Abdolmehdi
Published: October 2023

Water scarcity has become a pressing issue globally, with countries like Iran experiencing severe water stress. The reliance on groundwater sources for more than 80% of the annual water supply raises concerns about the rapid depletion of this vital resource. Water resources are an integral part of our shared heritage and represent one of humanity's fundamental natural assets. However, the challenge lies in the difficulty of restricting access to these resources, leading to competition, degradation, and potential destruction. This article employs a rigorous documentary research method combined with the social exchange theory to explore the factors that drive cooperative behaviors for effective water conservation. By emphasizing the importance of sustainable water usage, the study proposes a comprehensive set of strategies. These include educational initiatives to raise awareness about water scarcity and conservation, fostering ethical commitment to responsible water use, establishing effective communication channels among stakeholders, implementing systems of rewards and punishments to incentivize sustainable practices, and utilizing social sanctions to deter unsustainable behavior. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into promoting a cooperative and collaborative approach towards water conservation. By understanding the underlying factors that influence individuals and communities, policymakers and stakeholders can develop targeted interventions to encourage sustainable water management practices. This study contributes to the ongoing global efforts to address water scarcity and lays the groundwork for future research and policy development in the field of water resource management.
Analysis method of binary concentration-inhomogeneous systems
Authors: Levinsky Alexander
Published: October 2023

A method for the analysis of binary concentration-inhomogeneous polymer-monomer systems, in which the concentration of components varies continuously from point to point, is proposed. As a characteristic of inhomogeneity serves the distribution function of the polymerization mass over concentrations. The method is based on measuring the dependence of the heat capacity of the polymerization mass on temperature in the temperature range, which includes the glass transition range, and comparing it with the dependence of the heat capacity of homogeneous systems on temperature and concentration, followed by the solution of the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind.

Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) is a tiny colorful parrot and one of the most popular pets worldwide. This study was performed on a 5-year-old male budgerigar with a large and fluid-filled mass in the anterior part of the neck. Fine needle aspiration was accomplished to determine tumor origin, and the tumor content was cultured on blood and MacConkey agars (aerobic and anaerobic conditions). Besides, tumor ultrasonography and whole-body radiographs were done in the lateral and ventrodorsal positions. Finally, the tumor was removed, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H & E). The radiology and ultrasonography results showed that the tumor (5.2×4×3.7 cm) had a homogenous structure filled with echogenic fluid content. The tumor content culture revealed no bacterial growth. Histopathologically, the mass was composed of cystic spaces with invagination of the lining epithelial cells, forming intraluminal papillae. The tumor was diagnosed as a papillary cystadenocarcinoma.

Background: Septic arthritis affects ruminant welfare because, if left untreated, it can cause chronic pain and limit the mobility of affected joints. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological changes in arthritic bovine calves. Methods: The study was conducted on 12 calves with swollen knees or carpal joints. All calves were evaluated through clinical, radiographic, and ultrasonographic examination. Peripheral blood was aspirated from each to assess hematobiochemical changes. Synovial fluid and infected swab samples were subjected to bacteriological analysis, and a synovial biopsy was taken for histological examination. Results: Ultrasound revealed inflammatory effusions with various echogenicity in the afflicted joint capsule, while radiography showed remarkable swelling of joints and surrounding structures and the development of new bone. Regarding hematological variables, the value of total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate significantly (P<0.05) increased in septic arthritic calves compared to healthy calves. In the arthritis group, the serum concentration of alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate aminotransferase was considerably (P<0.05) higher than in healthy calves. The total protein and urea values were significantly (P<0.05) decreased in calves with infected arthritis. From the synovial fluid and purulent discharge of the joints, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were isolated. Histopathology of synovial tissue revealed chronic suppurative inflammation with intense hyperplasia of joint synovium. Conclusion: The results of this study may aid veterinarians in effectively diagnosing and treating septic arthritis in calves.
Catching an Induction Motor After a Loss Power Supply of the Transistor Electricdrive
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University, SPC «SES», Vorontsov A. G.
Published: October 2023

The solution of the problem of connecting an asynchronous machine with a squirrel-cage rotor to a transistor converter after their disconnection in the absence of a rotor speed sensor is considered. This problem may arise in the drives of pumps, fans, in wind power plants and in other systems, if it is necessary to urgently breaking the mechanism or to ensure its uninterrupted operation. In the article, the problem is solved in relation to the ship's electric propulsion system. When the drive power is lost, the propeller and the rotor of the machine are first slowed down relatively quickly to a speed corresponding to the speed of the vessel. Then braking slows down due to the large inertia of the vessel. The significant duration of the process allows the use of an algorithm for determining the rotor speed, based on testing the machine by feeding the stator of an asynchronous motor from an inverter with low voltages with a frequency that varies within the specified limits. Mathematical and computer models of the system are constructed, numerical experiments are performed confirming the effectiveness of the considered solution.

Published: October 2023

Thyroid gland dysfunctions, particularly hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, can cause systemic alterations such as hypertension, anxiety, and bone changes, as well as oral manifestations including salivary alterations, increased periodontal disease, and dental caries. It is of utmost importance for the dentist to be vigilant about these changes, considering that a decompensated patient cannot be treated, and medications can also interfere with oral microbiota, respecting each patient’s limitations. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the influence of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on the oral cavity through a literature review from 2018 to 2023. Articles, monographs, dissertations, books, and websites discussing the correlation between thyroid dysfunctions and dentistry were selected. The 30 references found were thoroughly read, but only 26 were directly related to the proposed theme. Conclusion: The dentist is one of the professionals capable of identifying the initial signs and symptoms of the disease, highlighting the importance of a thorough medical history. Further studies on this topic are necessary to consolidate the results found in the literature.

У статті розглянуто застосування інтервалів, як елементу статистичного аналізу результатів лабораторних досліджень. Таким чином, показники середнього значення та дисперсії дозволяють охарактеризувати як досліджуваний зразок, так і методику. Прикладом цього є аналіз результатів дослідження масової частки жиру в молоці різними методами аналізу. Розглянуто підхід для перевірки гіпотез. Гостро це питання стоїть у виробничих лабораторія під час вхідного контролю сировини, інгредієнтів та при дослідженні готового продукту. Якщо на основі експериментальних результатів буде вирішено, що застосовувана методика хибна, можна стверджувати, що вона має систематичну похибку. Наявність таких похибок зумовить отримання недостовірних результатів, що зумовить фінансові і репутаційні втрати для компанії. Саме тому, впровадження статистичного аналізу результатів досліджень дозволить оцінити отриманий продукт та встановити його «відповідність» вимогам покупця.

Weapons powered by artificial intelligence pose a frontier risk and need to be regulated
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu
Published: October 2023

Major advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology in recent years have led to the growing sophistication of military weaponry. Among the most noteworthy new devices are Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (L.A.W.S.): machines engineered to identify, engage and destroy targets without human control.

These machines, and the risks posed by their deployment, have been fodder for science fiction literature and cinema with the German film Metropolis in 1927 and Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. But L.A.W.S are not just speculation anymore. AI systems can now independently use data, predict human behavior, gather intelligence, perform surveillance, identify potential targets and make tactical decisions in virtual combat. The use of robots in the military is becoming commonplace and the leap to fully autonomous robots being optimized for warfare is already realistic. The big question now is not what kinds of L.A.W.S could exist, but if they pose a frontier risk to humanity.
Economic and Other Human Rights Remain Hostages of Oil Companies
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu
Published: October 2023

The Niger Delta is one of the ten most important wetland and coastal marine ecosystems in the world and is home to more than thirty-one million people. Its massive oil deposits have been extracted for decades by the government of Nigeria and multinational oil companies. Extracted crude oil has generated more than six hundred billion U.S dollars since the 1960s; but environmental quality and sustainability of the overall wellbeing and development of the region remain a serious concern as more than sixty percent of the people in the region depends on the natural environment for livelihood. The environmental resource base, which is used for agriculture, fishing and the collection of forest products, is the principal source of food. Thus, pollution and environmental damage in the immediate and surrounding areas pose significant risks to economic and other  human rights’ issues.
The Economic Development of Nigeria from 1914 to 2014
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu
Published: October 2023

There is a common Igbo proverb that says: No elephant is burdened by the weight of its tusks. The current economic problem in our nation is often lamented and cursed as unendurable, as if it is peculiar to the nation alone. Similarly, the fiscal measures introduced by the government are looked upon as hindrances or impediments, which a few may consider as irrelevant and unnecessary impositions. Yet, to look back at our growing up problems as if they are burdens, which we must cast off immediately, or run away from, is to be superficial and incapable of understanding ourselves, an offshoot of our character. The Nigerian economy, whether advancing or otherwise, is the weight that we must bear in our growth towards maturity, and in coming into full being as adults and as a nation. A mother does not complain of the weight of the child she carries on her back. The child is part of the process – the route towards her self-fulfillment.
The Community Court of Justice of the ECOWAS and the Advancement of Human Rights and Social Justice Reform in West Africa: Three Landmark Cases
Authors: Effoduh Jake Okechukwu
Published: October 2023

This chapter examines the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS Court), and its role within the region as a resource for Activist Forces who pursue human rights and social justice reform. By investigating the Court’s jurisprudence in three landmark cases: SERAP v. Nigeria & Anor (2010); SERAP v. Nigeria & 8 Ors (2012); and SERAP & 10 Ors v. Nigeria & 4 Ors (2014), this chapter analyses how the ECOWAS Court has advanced the constitutionality and justiciability of environmental and socioeconomic rights despite domestic limitations. Using Nigeria as a case in point, the human rights recognitions by the ECOWAS Court are significant for poor and marginalised populations, e.g. those in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria where natural resource extraction has for decades been largely unfavourable to the well-being and development of the people. This chapter contributes to the literature on human rights systems in Africa by examining how the norms, processes and creative spaces made available by the ECOWAS Court have contributed to human rights and social justice reform in the sub-region.
Bisaya-English Dynamics in Online Communication: An Investigation of Code-Switching among Bisdak Content Creators
Authors: Reponte-Sereño Raiza Rhea , Cuevas Gloria C. , Sagayno Renato
Published: October 2023

Social media has changed the way people use and share language. Online spaces unite people from different backgrounds, creating a diverse language environment. This study comprehensively analyzed the code-switching types and functions employed by Bisdak (Bisayang Dako) content creators within interview segments shared on the Facebook platform. It also examined the underlying reasons and motivations behind the use of these patterns. The research employed a qualitative research approach, specifically content analysis. The content analysis offered a nuanced lens to interpret how code-switching operates within this digital realm, enabling a comprehensive exploration of language practices embedded in online discourse. The findings reveal that the most prevalent form of code-switching observed was intrasentential, manifesting in 20 instances, closely followed by intersentential code-switching. On the other end of the spectrum, tag-switching surfaced as the least frequent code-switching type, registering a single occurrence in the analyzed dataset. Concerning the functions of code-switching manifested in the spoken discourse, there are four referential, eighteen expressive, two phatic, one poetic, six metalinguistic, and no occurrence for directive code-switching. The underlying reasons behind the use of code-switching are the following: to express cultural affiliation, to emphasize specific points, to signal or establish status, to express emotions, and to create a sense of intimacy. The findings stress the importance of sociolinguistic considerations in fully grasping the tapestry of code-switching's functionality. This research adds a pivotal layer of understanding to the evolving dynamics of language practices in the digital age.

Published: October 2023

Cases of mid-shaft humerus fracture are often managed conservatively. However, poor fracture healing is not uncommon and often require surgical intervention with equivocal prognosis and may result in complications such as radial nerve injury and nonunion. We report a case of successful healing of mid-shaft humerus fracture using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The principles of fracture management in TCM is very different from conventional orthopaedics utilizing light immobilization, active joint exercise and herbal agents that promote bone healing. This case report illustrates the potential role of traditional Chinese medicine in humerus fracture management.

Este artigo teve como objetivo revelar o estado da produção de conhecimento em processos decisórios no Brasil mediante a análise de teses, dissertações e programas de pós-graduação com atuação no campo. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, documental (com fonte principal o Coleta Capes), multicasos, transversal (quadriênio Capes 2017 a 2020), com análise de dados por estratificação de 199 teses e dissertações. Observou-se que cada Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração com linha de pesquisa em Teoria da Decisão – PPGA/TD tem sua linha própria que, em alguns casos, leva as suas teses e dissertações a se afastarem da Tomada de Decisão. Esta pesquisa fornece elementos críticos para o entendimento de como os Programas dedicados a processos e sistemas decisórios conduziram suas pesquisas, além de sinalizar eventuais gaps e oportunidades de investigação. Ademais, é apresentada uma articulação de como examinar a aderência ou aproximação de pesquisas com a Tomada de Decisão.

Abstract: This article aimed to reveal the state of knowledge production in decision-making processes in Brazil through the analysis of theses, dissertations and graduate programs operating in the field. This was a descriptive, documentary research (with the main source Coleta Capes), multicase, cross-sectional (Capes quadrennium 2017 to 2020), with data analysis by stratification of 199 theses and dissertations. It was observed that each Graduate Program in Business Administration with a line of research in Decision Theory - PPGA/TD has its own line that, in some cases, leads its theses and dissertations to move away from Decision Making. This research provides critical elements for understanding how the Programs dedicated to decision-making processes and systems conducted their research, in addition to signaling possible gaps and opportunities for investigation. In addition, an articulation of how to examine the adherence or approximation of research with Decision Making is presented.
