Published: August 2024

Lucrativeness is a vital element for evaluating Islamic banks' monetary achievement. It's critical to grasp the determinants that influence Indonesian Islamic banks' lucrativeness. The objective of this examination is to explore the factors—such as problematic financing, financing to store ratio, currency rates, price rises, and operational proceeds as an intermediary variable—that impact the productivity of Islamic banks in Indonesia. This research intends to provide choice makers in the Islamic fiscal industry a more comprehensive discernment of the budgetary operation of Islamic banks by scrutinizing these guidelines.
This research methodology uses a panel data approach using secondary data from Islamic banks in Indonesia. Through panel data analysis, this study examines the effect of these variables on the profitability of Islamic banks. The conclusions showed that, in Sub-structural I, Financing to Deposit Proportion (FDR) favorably affects the productivity (ROA) of Indonesian Islamic banks, while Non-Performing Financing (NPF), Currency Ratios, and Rising Prices have no consequence on operational expenses operational proceeds (BOPO). As indicated by sub-structural II, profitability is impacted by inside factors (NPF and BOPO), outer variables (expansion and cash rates) have no significant effect on productivity, and financing to store proportion (FDR) has no impact on productivity. In this examination, the BOPO fills in as a mediating variable that just intercedes the effect of the Financing to Deposit Ratio on Lucrativeness. Concerning the other autonomous factors, it has no bearing. Other than featuring the significance of hazard relief and operational effectiveness in accomplishing positive monetary outcomes, this exploration illuminates the variables influencing the productivity of Islamic banks in Indonesia.

Authors: Pokropek Artur , Flakus Maria , Koc Piotr , Plisiecki Hubert , Sitek Michał , Pokropek Magdalena , Przybysz Dariusz
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the impact of the Ukraine war on Polish public opinion, focusing on four main areas: public attention to the war, war anxiety, susceptibility to disinformation, and anti-refugee attitudes. Utilising a cross-sectional survey of over 10,000 respondents, the research analyses how these factors have evolved during the conflict through the lens of cognitive dissonance theory. Our results highlight the dynamic nature of public sentiment, the influence of disinformation campaigns, and the complex attitudes towards refugees within Poland. The findings offer valuable insights, emphasising the importance of addressing disinformation and fostering social cohesion amidst crises. Additionally, we are empirically verifying expectations based on cognitive dissonance theory, showing that this framework could be valuable for analysing public opinion during times of crisis and that it meets most empirical expectations.
Increasing Efficiency in Stratified Audit Sampling via Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling
Authors: Derks Koen , Mensink Lotte , de swart jacques , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan , wetzels ruud
Published: August 2024

Stratification is a statistical technique commonly used in audit sampling to increase efficiency. The reason for this increase is that stratification enhances the representativeness of the sample data and increases the accuracy of the misstatement estimate, which leads to a reduction in overall sample size. However, currently dominant methods for evaluating stratified audit samples have suboptimal efficiency. That is because these methods exclusively focus on the differences between the strata and do not acknowledge their similarities. In practice, this means that auditors often review more samples than necessary to reduce the audit risk to an appropriately low level. In this article, we propose an intuitive and powerful statistical approach to evaluate stratified audit samples that uses this information: Bayesian hierarchical modeling. We show that, compared to current methods, Bayesian hierarchical modeling consistently improves efficiency across many stratified audit sampling situations by reducing sample sizes by 70 up to 90 percent.
Practical research on cultivating students' thinking ability in scientific plant observation activities in primary schools
Authors: WANG Peng , Zhong WANG
Published: August 2024

When observing a thing or phenomenon, whether it is the first time or many times of contact, ask "why" and form a habit; Secondly, with the help of thinking, we can communicate with each other, gather the collective wisdom of many people, and widely absorb useful opinions, so as to improve our thinking ability. Through comparison, comparison and learning, you will learn the method of thinking consciously or unconsciously, so as to improve your thinking ability imperceptibly. Therefore, in primary school, scientific plant observation: through students' personal experience of plant observation and practical activities such as hands and brains, and the use of observation, comparison, classification and other thinking methods to understand the plants around them, and in the process of communication and cooperation with peers, students strengthen the awareness of plant protection on the basis of understanding plants, and then develop their love for nature... These will have a profound impact on students. This is exactly: use life to influence life
Collecting Rich Data from Afar: Opportunities and Challenges of Integrating the Digital into Ethnographic Methods
Authors: Luitjens Marije , Schoorel Esther
Published: August 2024

As researchers, there are times where we do not have the capacity to travel to the field, even though we are engaged in research that is geographically far away from us. Embracing the digital, both as a tool and as a space, is a viable avenue to continue ethnographic fieldwork under such circumstances. In this paper, we discuss the opportunities and challenges that conducting ethnographic fieldwork online offer, both through discussing existing research and by drawing from our own experiences of doing fieldwork from afar in Lebanon, Kosovo and Medellín (Colombia). The paper is divided along the lines of two crucial parts of ethnography: part one discusses participant observation and part two focuses on interviews. In part one, a distinction is made between ‘online participant observation’, which is a methodology developed within digital ethnographic methodology, and ‘participant observation online’, which is the use of traditional ethnographic methodology, but mediated through digital tools.
A Study on Problems of the Street Vendors in Lalbandi Municipality
Authors: Chaudhary Birendra
Published: August 2024

Due to their lack of education and skills, street vendors are among the most vulnerable and impoverished groups in the urban informal labor market and business sector. They are also unable to obtain permanent positions in the lucrative formal sector. They constantly attempt to use their limited financial means to address the issues affecting their way of life. They serve as the primary distribution routes for a wide range of goods used on a daily basis, including fruits, vegetables, shoes, ready-made clothes, toys, household appliances, stationery, newspapers, and periodicals. A serious dilemma would arise for small-scale businesses that cannot afford to retail their products through pricey formal sector distribution networks, as well as fruit and vegetable growers, if they were to be removed from urban markets. So is found in the case of street vendors of Lalbandi Municipality. Thus, main purpose of conducting this study is to find out the problems faced by street vendors in Lalbandi Municipality. For this, descriptive research design is adopted to explore street vendors’ problems. Out of two hundred seventy-three street vendors of Lalbandi Municipality, thirty street vendors are chosen randomly. The street vendors who sell fruits, vegetables, prepared foods, and household appliances via local vehicles and permanent shelter are the subjects of the current study. The study showed that there is a noteworthy correlation between the issues encountered by the street vendors. The respondents’ general opinion of street sellers and the issues they encountered do not significantly correlate. In nutshell, the street vendors of Lalbandi Municipality have been facing various sorts of problems such as lack of security, price fluctuation, lack of sufficient amount, bribes to the authorities etc. and for that a comprehensive strategy that includes social protection measures, infrastructure and service investments, policy reforms, and initiatives to organize and empower street vendors is needed. Furthermore, the present study is useful to the stakeholders, policy makers and to those who have just started up their small-scale businesses.

Формування світоглядної культури та його вплив на становлення особистості майбутнього педагога
Authors: Цзінвень Ян
Published: August 2024

У дослідженні глибоко аналізується проблема формування світоглядної культури та її впливу на становлення особистості майбутнього викладача і педагога. Зазначено, що ідейні витоки цього питання сформувалися ще у доісторичні часи, коли людина почала шукати пояснення навколишньої дійсності. Потреба у відтворенні, розумінні та поясненні світу стала підґрунтям для появи різноманітних світоглядних концепцій і форм мислення, що згодом призвело до виникнення перших міфів, ритуалів, релігії та навіть вплинуло на зародження філософії. Зі зміною епох відбувалася еволюція цих концепцій та ідей, що збагачувало світогляд людини та формувало нові культурні основи.У межах дослідження проведено теоретичний аналіз науково-літературних джерел, присвячених даній темі, що дозволило виявити історичний контекст розвитку цієї проблематики в різні епохи. Доведено, що саме через історичний контекст можна розкрити теореичні основи формування світогляду та культури. Особливу увагу приділено характеристиці основних понять, таких як світогляд, культура, особистість, свідомість, професійні навички, світоглядна культура, викладач і педагогічна діяльність. Вони були ретельно розглянуті з точки зору їхнього походження та ролі у формуванні світоглядної культури.Зазначено, що в майбутньому інтерес до дослідження цього питання лише зростатиме. Сучасні тенденції в освіті підкреслюють необхідність більш детального вивчення специфіки та процесу формування світоглядної культури майбутнього викладача. У ході дослідження з’ясовано, що комплексне вивчення проблеми формування світоглядної культури викладача може надати нову інформацію, яка слугуватиме платформою для формування креативних ідей та концепцій у цьому напрямку. Це також сприятиме розробці ефективних моделей для розвитку та становлення світоглядної культури, що підкреслює актуальність вивчення не лише особистісного формування учня, але й викладача. Адже особистість педагога має прямий вплив на формування особистості учня.Зроблено висновок, що світогляд – це особлива форма знання, яка складається з нашої пам’яті та досвіду. Культура і особистість викладача, а також його професійно-особистісні якості, суттєво впливають на формування світоглядної культури.
Novel Guided Self-Help for the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy
Authors: Arbour Geneviève , Legendre Maxime , Langlois Marie-France , Bégin Catherine
Published: August 2024

Purpose: Binge eating disorder (BED) is a prevalent eating disorder. Many individuals with BED do not receive evidence-based care due to many barriers. This preliminary study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of a manualized guided self-help (GSH) intervention with support in the form of a culturally adapted manual for a French-Canadian population.

Method: Twenty-two women with overweight or obesity meeting the BED diagnostic criteria participated in an 8-week open trial. The GSH programme combined a self-help book and weekly support phone calls. Participants were assessed at baseline, at week 4, postintervention, and 12 weeks following its end. Feasibility was measured by attrition rates, participation, and satisfaction. Acceptability was measured by a questionnaire based on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. Potential efficacy outcomes were objective binge eating days, eating disorder symptomatology, depressive symptoms, and propensity to eat intuitively.

Results: The GSH programme has proven feasible (4.5% attrition, 91% completion, 95.5% satisfaction) and acceptable. Potential efficacy results showed promising improvements on all outcomes (19% abstinence, 70.9% reduction in objective binge eating days).

Conclusion: Although preliminary, this programme warrants further study as it may be an efficient and cost-effective way to deliver GSH for BED patients with accessibility barriers.
Magnetically Separable Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3@MIL-88b(Fe) and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3@NH2-MIL-88b(Fe) Composites for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Congo Red Dye

Industry-wide applications of synthetic dyes produce large amounts of dye wastewater that requires treatment. Advanced oxidation processes are considered promising, since they incorporate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals capable of oxidizing most organic pollutants, including most commonly used azo dyes, into carbon dioxide and water. In this regard, iron-based metal-organic frameworks are effective heterogeneous photocatalysts for the generation hydroxyl radicals via Fenton reaction. In this study, Fe3O4/Fe2O3@MIL-88b(Fe) and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3@NH2-MIL-88b(Fe) composites were obtained, where Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 particles enabled magnetic separation, and Fe-metal-organic frameworks (MOF) coating exhibited photocatalytic activity. These composites were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectra, XRD patterns, magnetization curves, TGA profiles, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and Congo Red anionic azo dye (CR) as organic pollutant, composites’ adsorption kinetics were observed and their photocatalytic activities were studied. As a result, Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3@MIL-88b(Fe) and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3@NH2-MIL-88b(Fe) were both capable photocatalysts for generating hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through Fenton-like reaction with removal efficiencies of CR dye approaching 89 % and 95 %, respectively. Moreover, a higher photocatalytic activity was observed for Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3@NH2-MIL-88b(Fe), supposedly, due to -NH2 group increasing the electron density on the aryl ring, which stabilized hole localization at the organic linker, increased photoexcited state lifetime and promoted electron transfer onto metal center in Fe3-μ3-O cluster
Recurrent equine laryngeal alteration associated with compression of nerves in the infra-auricular region similar to Eagle Syndrome in humans
Authors: Vasconcellos Luiz Alberto da Silva
Published: August 2024

A mare presented headshaking, along with signs of problems in the upper respiratory tract. After a detailed clinical examination, an endoscopic examination was performed and an asymmetry was found to the left of the laryngeal cartilages. Searching for a probable etiology for the endoscopic finding, an ultrasound examination was performed in the infra-auricular region (parotid region) bilaterally and comparatively. The ultrasound examination showed a deviation (on the left side) of the nerve bundle corresponding to the deviation of the cartilages and soft palate, from which we associated the findings with the clinical presentation by the mare and concluded that it was the cause of the problem. Comparing this case, specifically, with Eagle Syndrome in humans, the aforementioned findings were very similar to the syndrome in humans.

The study aims to study the effect of new feed additives on the meat production in steers of black-white crossbreed ‘Bashkirskiy’. For the on-farm scientific experiment, 4 groups of 6 months old steers were formed with 15 heads in each group. Starting from 7 months of age, the basic diets of the experimental groups were supplemented with feed additives – protein-vitamin-mineral concentrate (BMVK [PVMC]) and mixed feed concentrate (KK-65 [MFC]-65) which were added alone and combined. The study examined live weight indices of experimental steers. Based on the data obtained, absolute growth and relative growth rates by age periods were calculated. The data analysis indicated that the introduction of feed additives BVMK and KK-65 into the diets of young cattle had a positive effect on the weight indices and fatness of the animals. By the end of the finishing period, the steers that received a diet with concentrate feed KK-65 at the final stage, had a higher growth rate and greater live weight (521.3–539.1 kg). The combined use of protein-vitaminmineral concentrate (BMVK) and concentrated feed (KK-65) demonstrated the highest indices.

Published: August 2024

Дослідження трипільських поселень на території середньої течії Південного Бугу протягом багатьох років дозволили виокремити унікальний локальний варіант цієї культури. Особлива увага приділена поселенням у селах Кліщів і Ворошилівка Тиврівського району Вінницької області. Археологічні дослідження виявили важливі особливості житлобудівництва, зокрема використання глинобитних конструкцій та специфічної орнаментації кераміки. Поселення Кліщів вирізняється унікальною організацією простору, будівництвом з використанням "цегли" та впливом традицій житлобудівництва з Північних Балкан. Кераміка Кліщева має аналогії з поселеннями інших трипільських осередків, що свідчить про культурні контакти з сусідніми регіонами. Поселення відігравало значну роль у культурному обміні та розвитку населення Побужжя, що зумовило формування Північнобузького варіанту трипільської культури.

Authors: Хавлюк Павло
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes E. Simonovych's attempts to expand the chronological boundaries of the Chernyakhiv culture by linking its origin to the Zarubynets culture on the basis of similarities in ceramics. The main attention is paid to the criticism of this theory, in particular to the works of P. Tretyakov, who questioned the arguments of Simonovych and other researchers. The comparison of ceramics of the Zarubynets and Chernyakhiv cultures proposed by Simonovych is recognized as groundless, since archaeological evidence suggests the Gothic origin of the Chernyakhiv culture, which is confirmed by the study of Velbar antiquities.
The Inter-Subjective Touch in On Body and Soul
Authors: Chung Hee Young
Published: August 2024

This article examines the inter-subjective touch in Ildikó Enyedi's film On Body and Soul (2017), employing a phenomenological approach by analyzing the aspects of horror, pleasure, dreaming, and breath. This film recontextualizes horror and reaffirms pleasure through the inter-subjective touch. The binary setting between the dreaming world and the waking world, through the perception of touch, is used not to disdain the cruel reality but to arouse inter-subjectivity. The representation of breath illuminates another tactility regarding spatiality and inter-subjectivity. I argue that On Body and Soul constructs layers of tactility and inter-subjectivity between the film and the spectator; the two protagonists (Mária and Endre); human and non-human; dreaming and waking; and mind and body.
Powers of (Body) Horror
Authors: Choi Jiwoo
Published: August 2024

French film director and screenwriter Julia Ducournau's sophomore body horror film, Titane (2021), like its predecessors of the same genre, examines the malleability and fragility of human corporeality. The film can be categorized under the New French Extremity, a genre coined by art critic James Quandt, who disapprovingly expressed his concerns with the rampant depictions of blood and violence in film; however, this article contends that Ducournau's film offer much more than mere shock factor and spectacle of taboo objects. Featuring a protagonist who is a manifestation of Donna Haraway's radical cyborg, Titane can be situated alongside recent debates in posthuman concerns, but more importantly, in its intersection and close connection to feminist and queer discourse. Although many have utilized Julia Kristeva's abject/-ion to examine the horror film genre through a feminist lens, this article seeks to expand on such existing literature by pointing to its emancipatory powers and its potential for a more inclusive, posthuman queer mode of being and kinship beyond the symbolic order.
Timing of diffusion tensor imaging in the management of a ruptured pediatric arteriovenous malformation: illustrative case
Authors: Chen Jia-Shu , Caldwell David J , Falcone Joseph A , Dalle Ore Cecilia , Sankaranarayanan Vanitha , Liu Felix , Hetts Steven W , Ho Winson S , Gupta Nalin
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can characterize eloquent white matter tracts affected by brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). However, DTI interpretation can be difficult in ruptured cases due to the presence of blood products. The authors present the case of a ruptured pediatric AVM in the corticospinal tract (CST) and discuss how DTI at different time points informed the treatment.

OBSERVATIONS

A 9-year-old female presented with a sudden headache and left hemiparesis. She was found to have a Spetzler-Martin grade III, Supplementary grade I AVM in the right caudate and centrum semiovale, with obliteration and corresponding reduced fractional anisotropy (FA), fiber density (FD), and tract count (TC) of the adjacent CST on DTI. The patient remained stable and was scheduled for elective resection following a 6-week period to facilitate hematoma resorption. After 6 weeks, repeat DTI showed part of the nidus within intact CST fibers with concordant improvement in FA, FD, and TC. Considering the nidus location, CST integrity, and motor function recovery, surgery was deferred in favor of stereotactic radiosurgery.

LESSONS

In ruptured AVMs, DTI may initially create an incomplete picture and false assumptions about white matter tract integrity. DTI should be repeated if delayed treatment is appropriate to ensure informed decision-making and prevent avoidable permanent neurological deficits.

Purpose: development of scientific, methodological and engineering support for the creation and practical application of IT support tools system for water use planning tasks in reclamation systems. Materials and methods. Consideration of the tasks of increasing the efficiency of water use in irrigation systems is an integral part of ensuring the effective operation of the entire national economy. The main tasks of water use are: determining the water needs of water users, determining the amount of water intake from an irrigation source, distributing water among water consumers, ensuring control over the use of irrigation water. Results. As a result of studies conducted in 2022–2023 on the Samur-Derbent irrigation system of the Republic of Dagestan, within the framework of State Contract No. 164/20-GK of July 6, 2021 for the implementation of the applied scientific research, an “Information and computing complex for water use planning during land reclamation and water management systems operation” was developed and implemented. The use of IT support tools in the water management contour in the Samur-Derbent irrigation system, in addition to automating work related to water use, made it possible to provide a systematic approach to the problem, improve the quality and efficiency of decisions made, and apply more accurate methods for calculating and processing measurement results. All this made it possible to increase the efficiency of operation of the reclamation system and its elements as a whole. Conclusion. The analysis of the problems of increasing the efficiency of reclamation systems operation showed that they are largely based on problems associated with water use management. It is water use that determines almost all the problems that must be solved when using irrigated agriculture.

Purpose: to develop the main stages of planning the measures of engineering and environmental protection of water bodies – drainage water inlets from irrigated lands. Materials and methods. When developing the stages of planning the measures of engineering and environmental protection of water bodies, recommendations for assessing the environmental and economic efficiency of investment projects for agricultural land reclamation and methods for calculating environmental payments necessary to take into account the effectiveness of environmental protective measures were used. Results. Planning the measures of engineering and environmental protection of a water body can be conditionally divided into four stages. At the first stage, the comprehensive monitoring studies of the water system and agrolandscape in the river catchment basin are carried out. The second stage consists of conducting their comprehensive environmental assessment, including the calculation of such indicators as the combinatorial index of water pollution, the indicator of anthropogenic water body load, the total indicator of soil pollution, bottom deposits, the soil loss rate, the soil formation rate, soil salinization, sodium, magnesium alkalinization, as well as the calculation of cost environmental indicators. At the third stage, a set of measures for engineering and environmental protection of a water body is developed, and at the fourth, a quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed measures is carried out. Conclusion. Environmental indicators that quantitatively characterize the anthropogenic load on water bodies as a result of the irrigation system operation are proposed. A methodical approach is proposed and the main stages of planning the engineering and environmental protection of water bodies – drainage water inlets from irrigated lands are defined, consisting in a comprehensive assessment of all components of the agro-landscape with the subsequent development of engineering, agrotechnical, agroforestry and agrochemical measures that contribute to the formation of a favorable environmental situation in the river basin.

Purpose: to study methods to control weed infestation of crops by resource-saving methods of soil tillage, ensuring improvement of the phytosanitary condition of the irrigated agrocenosis. Materials and methods. The test scheme included studying the impact of moldboard plowing at different depths, flat-cut and surface primary tillage on weed infestation of crops. The features of agrotechnical methods in weed control were studied on experimental plots in Saratov region in 2021–2023. The experimental methodology is generally accepted. Results. The influence of different methods of primary tillage on weed infestation of agricultural crops in the crop rotation link under irrigation is considered. It is revealed that with the use of pre-sowing tillage and inter-row tillage during the crop vegetation period, a significant decrease in weed infestation of lands for the next crop is noted. For the first crop of the link – Sudan grass – the highest weed infestation was noted in the variant of minimum cultivation at 8–10 cm, the number of weeds was 26.0 pcs./sq. m. During the vegetation period, due to the high density of standing, the weed infestation of crops before harvesting decreased in all variants of the experiment. On the second crop of the link – spring wheat – and the third crop – soybean – the weed infestation varied insignificantly in all variants of the experiment. Weed control provided the biological yield of green mass of Sudan grass of 32.7–37.5 t/ha, spring wheat grain – 3.30–3.59 t/ha, soybean – 4.09–4.35 t/ha according to the variants of the experiment. No significant difference in the impact of the method of primary tillage on crop yield was revealed. Conclusions. Using the example of soybeans, Sudan grass and spring wheat, it has been proven that during their cultivation, using ploughing with furrow slice upside-down in the fall in combination with pre-sowing tillage and inter-row tillage during the crop vegetation is effective.

Purpose: to apply engineering geophysics methods based on the assessment of reliability parameters using non-destructive testing to identify the state of the engineering protection structures of the Shapsug reservoir. Materials and methods. The materials for the study were non-destructive testing data performed at different times of the year at the Shapsug reservoir, using “Oko-3” ground penetrating radar, “Pulsar-2.2” unit, Sokkia CX-105 total station, Nokta Invenio Smart and PSG-MG4 static action penetrometer. During the inspection, attention is drawn to the presence of such defects and damages as: violation of the geometric dimensions of the element or structure section; presence of deformation of an element or structure as a whole; formation and decompaction of the voids; landslide processes; visual dynamic damage; various cracks and the size of their opening; concrete and metal structures corrosion, etc. Results. The engineering-geophysical method for assessing the technical condition of the engineering protection structures of the Shapsug reservoir has been carried out. The state of the connection between earthworks and concrete structures and the temperature-sedimentation joints between concrete and reinforced concrete structures, affecting their stability, has been studied. Radiograms of collapse sites that arose as a result of accidents and were eliminated during the reconstruction of the dam were obtained. Conclusions. It was determined on the results obtained, that the geophysical complex makes it possible to study earthen low-head dams when determining various soil parameters, and most importantly, to identify the position and size of various defects inside the earth foundation of the dam. The identified difficulties were successfully resolved using a combined geophysical method, and the main problem is the compilation and adaptation of this method for a specific object.

Postseismic displacements in the source region of the July 29, 2021 Chignik M8.2 earthquake, Alaska, are analyzed based on the data from the GPS network sites. It is shown that these displacements have a nature of a postseismic creep (afterslip). The rate of postseismic displacements of the points on the Earth’s surface (GPS sites) decreases with time by the power law close to 1/t, where t is time after the earthquake. On the time interval of two years, the displacement magnitudes increase in time by the law of logarithmic creep. Using the regional catalog of the Alaska earthquakes, we have analyzed the aftershocks of the Chignik earthquake. The analysis has shown that the postseismic displacements at different GPS sites are proportional to the displacements in the seismotectonic flow of the rock mass caused by residual displacements in the aftershock sources. This allows the total displacements in the aftershock sources to be considered as produced by a single mechanism of postseismic creep deformation in the source region of the Chignik earthquake.

A source of a strong earthquake, as a rule, consists of subsources which are identified by waveform modeling. The modeling does not yield an unambiguous result. In this paper, we present an example when two significantly different focal mechanism solutions are published for the same earthquake: in one solution, the subsources are characterized by a similar type of faulting, while in the other solution, the last subsource has an opposite mechanism. In (Vakarchuk et al., 2013), this discrepancy was interpreted by the realization of a compensatory motion. The compensatory movements are detected not only in the subsources but also at the scale level of the entire source zone, which manifest itself in a certain regularity of the aftershock mechanisms discovered in the study of the 1970 Dagestan earthquake by Kuznetsova et al. (1976). In this paper, perhaps for the first time, compensatory movements are detected in a high-magnitude earthquake swarm without a pronounced main shock, which occurred in 2023 in Herat Province, Afghanistan. The results are supported by a series of seismological and satellite interferometric data.

The aim of the study was to study the role of transcription factor CREB1 in regulating the expression of the gene encoding the mitochondrial form of malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37) in the liver of rats with experimental diabetes. An increase in the rate of work of NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase in rat liver cells during the development of experimental diabetes was shown, associated with the activation of the Mdh1 and Mdh2 genes encoding this enzyme. The analysis of the promoters of these genes showed that only in the Mdh2 gene there is a specific binding site with the transcription factor CREB1. It was found that in the liver of rats with pathology, there is an increase in the rate of expression of the gene encoding this transcription factor, which correlates with the expression of the Mdh2 gene. Thus, the data obtained by us confirm the possibility of positive regulation of the rate of the Mdh2 gene by the transcription factor CREB1.

We report a series of 3-aminocoumaranones possess significant chemiluminescence under various conditions. The introduce of the electron-donor groups in the coumaranone moiety and increasing of the conjugated π-system of coumaranones allow to shift 30–40 nm of the chemiluminescence maxima to the long-wavelength region. We showed that some 3-aminocoumaranones can be used for detecting of the urease and hydrogen peroxide.
