Published: December 2024

New geological, geochemical, and geochronological (U-Pb zircon) data obtained on the greenstone rocks of the Kichany structure from the Archean Tiksheozero greenstone belt made it possible to clarify and supplement the previously proposed stratification schemes. The composition of the identified sequences, the order and duration of their formation have been specified. The Archean supracrustal rocks are divided into three sequences. The lower sequence (previously not identified) is represented by a bimodal series: tholeiitic metabasalts and felsic metavolcanics, with subordinate metagraywackes. It has been formed for over 20 million years (from 2788 ± 5 to 2766 ± 9 Ma). Sm–Nd data obtained on basaltic metaandesites (Sm–Nd model age 2.86 Ga and εNd = 2.92) indicate their mantle nature. Metarhyolites from the lower sequence with a Sm–Nd model age of 2.89 Ga and εNd = 2.59 were generated from a source with a short residence time. The differentiated volcanic series of the upper sequence (from basalts to dacites) has been also formed for about 20 million years (2738 ± 7–2716 ± 7 Ma). The parental melts for the intermediate–felsic metavolcanics of the upper sequence are variably enriched in ancient crustal matter. The oldest rocks with a Sm–Nd model age of 2.84 Ga and εNd = 2.67 were formed during the Early Neoarchean crust-forming event. The younger rocks have a different contribution of ancient crustal material: significant contribution for dacites (Sm–Nd model age of 3 Ga and εNd = 0.4) and less significant contribution for dacitic andesites (Sm–Nd model age of 2.89 Ga and εNd = 1.73). In the Paleoproterozoic (from 1786 ± 11 to 1796 ± 6 Ma), the supracrustal rocks of the Kichany structure underwent metamorphic transformations.
Gas composition of the fluids formed ore deposits at different geological periods (from the Archean to the Cenozoic)
Authors: Mironova O. F. , Naumov V. B. , Prokofiev V. Yu.
Published: December 2024

An original database compiled by the authors on volatile components of mineral-hosted fluid inclusions currently includes 12 470 analyses from 480 publications and was used to calculate the average gas phase composition of fluids that formed hydrothermal deposits throughout the Earth’s geological evolution, from the Archean to Cenozoic. The paper reviews the methods used in the study, their potential errors, and limitations. Characteristics of the gas composition of fluids are traced for more than 300 ore deposits of Au, Sn, W, Cu, Cu, Pb, Zn, Sb, Mo, and U. The dominant volatile component of natural mineralizing fluids in the Earth’s crust is carbon dioxide, regardless of the geologic age. The fluids contain subordinate amounts of reduced carbon species (methane) and nitrogen, as well as minor amounts of hydrogen sulfide and some other gases. The Cenozoic fluids commonly contain more nitrogen than methane. These relations are occasionally also found in the Precambrian fluids. The CO2/CH4 ratio as an indicator of the redox state of the system notably increased over the Earth’s geological history.
Grain Size Properties of Surface Bottom Sediments from the Chaun Bay
Authors: Ulyantsev A. S. , Streltsova E. A. , Charkin A. N.
Published: December 2024

Based on the results of analysis of 174 samples of bottom sediments collected at 48 stations in the Chaun Bay during the 60th cruise of R/V “Academic Oparin” (October 2020), it was found that their particle size composition varies from poorly sorted silty clay to good sorted sand. The results of the study led to conclude that the main sedimentation mechanisms in the Chaun Bay are thermoabrasion, riverine runoff and abrasion, as well as ice and aeolian transport. The zoning of grain size types of the bottom sediments is related to the bottom topography and consistent with areas affected by river discharge, abrasion and thermoabrasion, as well as with the direction of currents. High occurrence of coarse clastic matter in sediments indicates abrasion of the coastal zone and active ice transport of large (up to 15 cm) rock fragments. The vertical variability of the granulometric parameters of the studied bottom sediments within the upper 20 cm layer reflects gradual Late Holocene intensification of terrigenous (fluvial and thermoabrasion) fluxes under the current climate changes in the Arctic.

Published: December 2024

The principal basins at the Mozambique continental margin are the Mozambique and Rovuma basins, on the passive continental margin with complex tectonic history, following after East African rifting system in the Triassic. Although the first gas fields situated at south-east of Mozambique, at the coastal zone of the Indian Ocean, are appeared yet in 60-teen years of the last century, however only in 2010 with discoveries a number of large gas fields at the north-east of the country, in the deep water of the Indian Ocean, in the Rovuma basin, Mozambique found a new state – big hydrocarbon player in the World. More than 20 gas fields discovered at the last time are located in the deep water regions, on the continental slope of the Indian Ocean at different depths from 468 m till 2610 m. It is noteworthy that the pays of the same age the deeper they are buried under the water column, the greater their volume of hydrocarbon reserves. Similar tendency may help in case of targeted exploration for oil and gas. The prospects of liquid hydrocarbon discoveries are possible in the Madagascar channel behind the Davie upland and in deep water parts at the slopes of the Mozambique continental margin.

The representation of heart contractions in some auditory parts of the temporal cortex in a non-anesthetized cat
Authors: Bibikov N. G. , Pigarev I. N.
Published: December 2024

The inquiry into how cortical neurons respond to interoceptive signals remains a complex puzzle, central to understanding self-awareness in advanced mammals, including humans. A fundamental aspect under scrutiny is whether neural networks in the cerebral cortex of animals can accurately reflect internal bodily states, particularly cardiac activity. To investigate this, we conducted a study on neurons within the temporal cortex of awake and sleeping cat, employing a unique setup enabling continuous differential recording of local potentials in specific cortical regions, alongside monitoring the cardiogram. Our findings revealed intriguing insights. While the primary auditory cortex (AI) exhibited minimal cellular activity synchronized with heartbeats, the secondary auditory zones within the temporal cortex – the anterior ectosylvian sulcus and the posterior ectosylvian gyrus – displayed synchronization with heart rate. This synchronization was particularly evident in local potentials, with certain neurons within these zones responding to sounds and also exhibiting rhythmic activity aligned with heart contractions. Notably, the complexity of phase histograms derived from the cardiogram period suggests that this synchronization is not attributable to artifacts but rather represents genuine neural responses. Our observations prompt consideration of a hypothesis regarding primary self-awareness in both humans and animals. We propose that this phenomenon emerges from the dynamic interaction of two neural ensembles: one representing external sensory input and the other reflecting interoceptive signals, notably from the heart. This interplay between external and internal stimuli may underpin the fundamental experience of the consciousness of self in highly developed organisms.
Aspect and temporality in the Romanian past compound
Authors: Hegedus Csongor
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I analyse the Romanian past compound, from temporal and aspectual viewpoint, and I foreshadow that the rewrite condition is a must for the mentioned tense. Starting from Hornstein’s (1993) BTS (Basic Tense Structure), I believe that Romanian past compound can have multiple values, and in many situations its core value, the present perfect, must be either extended or reduced, depending on the scope of the CC (Complex Clause). I reflect about the dubitative meaning of the past compound, more precisely about its impact on perfectivity, how our mind processes time without the proper modification of the tense head. I differentiate 4 types of aspects and I add some tense values to the original classification made by Călărașu (1987); these values are based on different types of clausal arguments, for example the past perfect value of the past compound. The paper also focuses on the hidden meaning of operators, foreshadowing that at S-structure these operators might have a greater influence for TAM marking than an event variable. Many times, the perspective is based on hypothesised situations, in order to illustrate temporal and aspectual conflicts.
Vitamin Level Differences Across the ASD Spectrum
Authors: Mehra Rohan , Aita Wendy F. , Iannuzzelli Andrea
Published: December 2024

Background: In the United States, 2.7% of children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Environmental factors such as vitamin levels, including D, B9, and B12, may have a significant impact on the risk of development. Children conceived in winter months, with low sunlight and Vitamin D levels, have a higher risk of developing ASD. Vitamin B12 deficiency is generally linked with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Additionally, vitamin B9 deficiency of a mother during gestation is linked to a higher risk of her child developing ASD.

Purpose: To assess potential differences in vitamin levels between patients of differing severities of ASD.

Methods: An analysis of vitamin level data for 295 RISN patients with ASD was conducted. Patients on vitamin supplementation at the time labs were drawn were filtered out. For each vitamin, patients were categorized based on ASD severity level. Using R-Studio, a one-way ANOVA Kruskal-Wallis test between the groups was conducted to determine statistically significant differences.

Results: On analysis, there were no statistically significant differences (p-value = 0.4309) in Vitamin D levels for patients with different severities of ASD. There were no statistically significant differences (p-value = 0.8801) in Vitamin B9 levels between these patients. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences (p-value = 0.9744) in Vitamin D levels for patients with these different severities of ASD. This indicates, across these three vitamin types, that vitamin concentrations tend to be consistent across patients with ASD.

Conclusions: It may be important to consider repeat studies of this premise, as the sample size, among other factors, may have an influence on the outcome. The lack of notable difference in vitamin level between severities may indicate that severity is unrelated to vitamin level, or that severity is influenced by vitamins in a concentration-independent way, such as processing and receptor sensitivity. Future research should focus on obtaining thorough vitamin labs for patients longitudinally. This will allow for paired analysis of different vitamin levels. It also encourages research into vitamin level changes in patients over time and how it may be related to behavioral changes.

Published: December 2024

This research, conducted at the Rowan-Virtua Integrated Special Needs (RISN) Center, Sewell, New Jersey, explores the psychosocial strain on caregivers of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Utilizing the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI), we assessed multiple psychosocial dimensions, including time dependency, emotional health, development, social relationships, and physical health. Data was extracted from a total of 295 patient charts; this poster analyzes the initial sample of 99 patients by incorporating demographic variables and caregiver burden scores into a tailored database for comprehensive analysis. Our findings reveal a statistically significant correlation between the age of patients and increased developmental scores in the CBI, suggesting that older patients tend to impose higher developmental demands on caregivers. Gender analysis showed no significant correlation with CBI scores. The study underscores the persistent psychosocial challenges faced by caregivers, pointing to the necessity for enhanced supportive measures and further research into the factors influencing caregiver burden. This ongoing project continues to expand with the aim of contributing to better-informed care strategies for both ASD patients and their caregivers.

Published: December 2024

The “orphan” cytochromes P450 (CYPs), although still not well characterized, may be involved in the metabolism of several hepatocarcinogens. There are also a piece of evidence of their possible role in the stimulation of cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. Our earlier studies showed that naturally occurring phytochemicals and mainly their combinations can induce apoptosis and limit the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, HepG2. The aim of this study was to evaluate their effect on the expression of “orphan" CYPs, 2S1, 2W1, and 2U1 in the hepatic cancer cell line. HepG2 cells were treated with xanthohumol (X), phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), resveratrol (RES), or indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and their combinations for 24 h. The expression of CYP genes was assessed by r-t PCR and Western blot. Generally, a moderate effect of the tested phytochemicals on the expression at the evaluated CYP protein level was found. More significant changes were detected at the mRNA level. X and RES were the most efficient reducers of CYP2S1 and CYP2W1 expression. This effect was confirmed by treatment with a mixture of these compounds as well. CYP2U1 expression was diminished as a result of treatment with X and PEITC and their combination. The above mentioned results indicate that tested phytochemicals, particularly X, may reduce the expression of “orphan" CYPs and, in this way, diminish the activation of hepatocarcinogens and possibly limit the proliferation of HCC cells.
g-C3N4-BASED PHOTOCATALYTIC MATERIALS: RECENT ENHANCEMENTS AND APPLICATIONS IN ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Authors: Feng Yuanjiao , Miao Home , Zeng Xue
Published: December 2024

In recent decades, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) a non-metallic semiconductor photocatalyst, has garnered significant attention due to its exceptional electronic configuration, remarkable visible light responsiveness, and unparalleled chemical stability, showcasing immense potential in environmental remediation. Nevertheless, the high recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and limited photocatalytic efficiency of a single g-C3N4 material limit its wide application. Therefore, constructing g-C3N4 based composite materials has become an efficient way to improve their photocatalytic effect. Here, we review the approaches for augmenting the photocatalytic performance of these composites, encompassing the rational architecture of their composite structures, the refinement of modification protocols, and an intensive examination of the underlying mechanisms that facilitate the photocatalytic efficacy improvement of g-C3N4. Furthermore, we discuss the advancements made in harnessing these composites for the efficient remediation of environmental pollutants. This provides ideas for further exploring new and efficient g-C3N4 based composites in the future, deepening our understanding of their photocatalytic mechanism, and expanding their applications in different fields.

Authors:   State Tax University, Brytan Vadym
Published: December 2024

The relevance of researching methods and models for assessing the financial security of the banking system is
due to the transformation of the global financial environment, the emergence of new threats and challenges to the
stability of the banking sector. Increased volatility in international financial markets, growing cyber threats, digitalisation of banking services, and the introduction of innovative financial instruments require a significant rethinking of existing approaches to assessing the level of financial security. The purpose of the study is to develop the
theoretical and methodological foundations and practical recommendations for improving methods and models for
assessing the financial security of the banking system. The paper examines the conceptual foundations of the financial security assessment system, analyses quantitative and qualitative methods of diagnosing threats to the stability
of the banking sector, and explores the peculiarities of using economic and mathematical models to predict crisis
phenomena. Attention is also paid to the study of international experience in the use of indicative systems for early
warning of banking crises and the possibilities of their adaptation to domestic conditions. The methodological basis
of the study is general scientific and special methods of cognition, in particular: formalisation, economic interpretation, decomposition, generalisation, logical analysis, abstraction, comparison and analogy. Particular attention is
paid to the formation of a comprehensive financial security monitoring system that takes into account the specifics
of the banking sector in the context of the digital transformation of the economy and allows timely identification
of potential threats to the stability of the banking system. The article considers promising areas for improving the
methodological tools for assessing financial security, taking into account current trends in the development of financial technologies and changes in the nature of banking risks.

Published: December 2024

The article reveals theoretical and methodological aspects of the current practice of taxation of foreign economic
activity (FEA). It has been demonstrated that by 2022, there is an anticipated increase in the volume of exportimport operations, which will be accompanied by an equivalent rise in tax revenues derived from foreign economic
activity. It has been ascertained through research that the largest proportion of tax revenues is accounted for by
revenues from value added tax in the implementation of foreign economic activity by economic entities. In the
context of foreign economic activity, domestic enterprises are required to adhere to the established rules and regulations pertaining to the determination of the tax base, the accrual of taxes, the payment of taxes, and the reporting
of information related to taxes and fees. These rules and regulations are set forth in the Tax Code of Ukraine, the
Customs Code of Ukraine, and the Regulation on Conducting Foreign Exchange Transactions. It is determined that
the main taxes levied by business entities in the course of foreign economic activity are customs duty, value added
tax (VAT), excise tax and personal income tax (PIT). The article demonstrates that there are discrepancies in the
taxation of foreign economic activity with regard to the accrual and receipt of tax payments, depending on the type
of foreign economic activity and the country with which domestic enterprises engage in foreign economic activity.
The article provides a list of the main documents on the basis of which enterprises calculate tax liabilities in the
course of foreign economic activity. As a result of the study, it is determined that such tax payments as customs duty,
excise tax, and VAT are paid by enterprises prior to customs clearance of goods and services, and a domestic enterprise is guided by information about their amount, which is usually provided in the customs declaration. Such tax as PIT, which is charged on remuneration to a non-resident, is paid before it is disbursed. The primary documents that
serve as the basis for determining tax liabilities associated with foreign economic activity are as follows: cargo and
customs declaration, invoice, foreign economic activity contract, international automobile waybill, act of services
rendered, payroll, and civil law contract for the performance of relevant types of work by a foreigner in Ukraine.

Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna, Rey Manzano Paula
Published: December 2024

Numerosas investigaciones han puesto de manifiesto que el alumnado con alta capacidad intelectual goza de mayor autoestima que el alumnado de la muestra comunitaria y, además, hace uso de estrategias de afrontamiento adaptativas. Este estudio tiene la finalidad de comprobar si existe relación entre las variables autoestima y afrontamiento y ver si existen diferencias significativas en las puntuaciones que obtiene el alumnado en función de su capacidad intelectual. Para ello, se analizó una muestra de 162 participantes de género masculino y femenino de primero a tercero de la ESO dividida en dos grupos: alta capacidad y muestra comunitaria. Para la diferenciación de los grupos de estudio se hizo uso del test de matrices-TAI y para la evaluación de la autoestima y el afrontamiento se emplearon la Escala de autoestima de Rosenberg y la Escala de afrontamiento adolescente (ACS) respectivamente. Mediante el uso del software Jamovi en su versión 1.6.23 se realizó un análisis de regresión múltiple con el objetivo de comprobar si existe una relación significativa entre autoestima y afrontamiento, una t de Student para ver si existen diferencias en las puntuaciones de autoestima del alumnado de alta capacidad y de muestra comunitaria y, por último, se realizó un MANOVA para determinar si existen diferencias en las puntuaciones de afrontamiento entre los grupos de estudio. Los resultados arrojaron una relación significativa únicamente entre las variables autoestima y afrontamiento. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las puntuaciones obtenidas en autoestima y afrontamiento del alumnado con alta capacidad y de la muestra comunitaria.
Kompetencije studenata za korištenje futuroloških metoda u provođenju istraživanja
Authors: Zorić Maja
Published: December 2024

Još uvijek nedovoljno korištena istraživanja u Hrvatskoj u istraživanju odgojnih i obrazovnih znanosti jesu futurološka istraživanja i metode premda je njihova primjena vrlo izražena u istraživanjima fenomena iz drugih područja ljudske djelatnosti. Futurološkim je istraživanjima cilj kreiranje poželjne budućnosti, a jedna od najvažnijih potreba za takvim istraživanjima u pedagogiji proizlazi iz činjenice da je neophodno prilagoditi obrazovanje sada kako bi današnji učenik bio spreman prilagoditi se poslovima budućnosti. Stoga poznavanje futuroloških istraživanja i metoda omogućuje budućim učiteljima sagledavanje i predviđanje budućih promjena i potreba svih dionika sustava odgoja i obrazovanja, kao i samoga odgojno-obrazovnog procesa te prilagođavanje na izazove i potrebe koje nosi budućnost. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja istražiti kompetencije budućih učitelja u korištenju futuroloških metoda u istraživanjima. Istraživanje je provedeno anketiranjem ukupno 32 budućih učitelja te analizom sadržaja kolegija Metodologija pedagoških istraživanja. Prikupljeni su podatci o samoprocjeni studenata o vlastitim kompetencijama u provođenju futuroloških metoda, o dosadašnjim iskustvima u njihovu korištenju te budućim namjerama korištenja futuroloških metoda pri istraživanju. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da su studenti nedovoljno upoznati s futurološkim metodama i njihovom primjenom te da ih rijetko koriste u provođenja istraživanja. S druge strane studenti su uglavnom svjesni važnosti primjene futuroloških metoda u istraživanjima odgojno-obrazovnih fenomena, no unatoč tomu uglavnom ne iskazuju namjeru njihova korištenja u budućnosti.

Published: December 2024

Nedostatan broj stručnih nastavnika i učitelja STEM-predmeta u školama izazov je za obrazovni sustav u cjelini. Kako bi se istražio problem deficitarnosti broja nastavnika i učitelja u STEM-u, prikupljeni su i analizirani statistički podatci, provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje u obliku intervjua s različitim dionicima u obrazovanju te je organiziran okrugli stol na tu temu. Analiza statističkih podataka pokazala je da se drastični razmjeri nedostatka stručnoga kadra na tržištu rada za pojedina područja STEM-a neće u skoroj budućnosti moći riješiti samo iz kvote studenata koji su završili nastavnički studij. Rezultati kvalitativnoga istraživanja i rasprave na okruglome stolu pokazali su da je posljedica nedostatka stručnih kadrova pad kvalitete izvođenja nastave, a istaknuti su i drugi problemi, primjerice kontrola kvalitete kadrova obrazovanih izvan EU-a te nekonkurentnost prihoda u školama u odnosu na druge sektore koji su zainteresirani za stručnjake istih profila.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the distribution of bananas in the Nagari Mandiri Pangan Program in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. Nagari Mandiri Pangan is a program implemented by the West Sumatra government. This program is an adaptation of the Desa Mandiri Pangan launched by the Food Security Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture (BKP) at the national level. The West Sumatra Government is trying to explore the needs of the farmers themselves. In this case, farmers who are in the group ask to be given banana seed assistance, which is a commodity that has the potential to be developed. This research was carried out on five farmer groups in Padang Pariaman Regency. The method used is an interview using a questionnaire, which is then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The existing results are compared with the technical guidelines and implementation guidelines that have been prepared. From the results, it was found that the distribution of banana seeds was carried out during the current year, and the requests from farmer groups could be accommodated through this program. Banana plants were chosen because this commodity has suitable growing conditions at the research site. Farmers are obliged to provide land that is used from existing vacant land and land that was previously unused. In addition, farmers are obliged to maintain bananas that have been given properly and provide periodic reporting. To ensure that farmers carry out their obligations, the agency evaluates by visiting and providing assistance with good banana cultivation methods in collaboration with local extension workers.
