Published: October 2023

E.I. Molokhovets is the author of one of the most popular cookery books of the 2nd half of the 19th — early 20th century “Gift for young housewives”, which went through 29 editions. This book is still being reprinted with the same success among modern readers despite the fact that even during the life of the author, it was subjected to partly fair criticism for some “elitism” of the recipes presented. Not everyone knows nowadays her other, more modest, cooking book “A Simple, Public Cooking”, the first edition of which was published in 1884. This is book in the article. “A Simple, Public Cooking” is a collection of recipes that fully lives up to its title. The recipes for all the dishes presented in the collection are very simple both in terms of the composition of the necessary products and the methods of their preparation, which makes this book relevant for modern culinary lovers. The article provides a detailed comparative analysis of different editions of the collection published during the life of E.I. Molokhovets (in total, six editions were published from 1884 to 1911), and also examines its publishing fate in the Soviet and post-Soviet times.

Published: October 2023

The 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century were marked by the

deontologisation of the language of science, the dominance of the attitudes of epistemological

naturalism, the loss of the truth’s absolute value and the purpose of cognition, and as a

consequence, the unprecedented increase in the relevance of rethinking mathematics and

mathematical natural science (physics, biology, etc.) in terms of everyday consciousness

and everyday experience. This work is connected with the necessity to clarify the boundaries

of identity and differences between the formations of sensory-visual experience and the

products of abstract-theoretical construction, the intuitive and the logical-discursive,

explanation and understanding, the theoretical and the empirical, etc., in the context of

the analysis of the deriving oppositions and counter-views as expressions of opposites of

SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION AND ADAPTATION OF STUDENTS IN THE CONDITIONS OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Authors: Kravchenko Vladimir I. , Pazovsky Arkady M.
Published: October 2023

Among the complex and still far from solved problems in the education system are the problems of the pedagogical paradigm, its essence, content, structure. In this area of scientific and pedagogical knowledge, in the conditions of the modern information world and the “crisis of world education”, discrepancies have appeared regarding the concepts and paradigms of education, which determine the need and relevance of studying this important problem of pedagogical theory. The authors of the article focus the reader's attention on the essential understanding of the very problem of inclusive education, namely the social and psychological rehabilitation and adaptation of students in the context of inclusive education. In addition, the authors emphasise that it is not health-related medical problems that are stated in the Concept as the causes of disability, but shortcomings in the development of society, which, with their barriers, prevent the realisation of the rights and freedoms of people with health disorders. Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will allow governments in most countries of the world to perceive persons with disabilities as full citizens, and not as a special social group of people. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the idea of the main cause of the general crisis in world education as a result of increased differentiation of scientific knowledge due to the acceleration of its growth and to develop an approach to overcoming the crisis within the framework of the general programme of inclusive education. Currently, the solution of problems associated with disability is one of the priority tasks of the social policy of modern Russia. Based on the results of scientific research, the authors see the solution to the problem in reforming the existing educational system, in the formation of new postulates and models for setting and solving the problem of inclusive education.
THE ISSUES OF SYSTEMATISATION AND POPULARISATION OF HISTORIC AND LITERATURE SOURCES CONNECTED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOETHICAL VALUES AND HUMANE PEDAGOGY IN RUSSIA AT THE TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Authors: Kyuregina Anna V.
Published: October 2023

The topicality of the article is caused by Russian educators’ low awareness of the problematics connected with reassessment of the attitude to living beings, as well as the issues of value attitude to life, balance of general human and national values in pedagogy in the conditions of technical progress and globalisation. The objective is to research the project aimed at systematisation and popularisation of sources that show the development of the non-violence philosophy in Russia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The objective includes determination of the scope of its development, its connection with natural science, humanities, pedagogical thought. The scientific novelty lies in the research of the approach to personality formation applied in Russia and based on moral treatment to all life. It is revealed that the doctrine was getting anthropological foundation, that popular science, publicistic, pedagogic literature and belles-lettres were being published, that corresponding pedagogic experience was being accumulated.
Impact of crystal structure on the lattice thermal conductivity of the IV-VI chalcogenides
Authors: Guillemot Sophie , Suwardi Ady , Kaltsoyannis Nikolas , Skelton Jonathan
Published: October 2023

We present a detailed comparative study of the lattice thermal conductivity κ_latt of ten reported phases of the IV-VI chalcogenides GeSe, GeTe, SnSe and SnTe, calculated within the single-mode relaxation-time approximation based on third-order interatomic force constants. Differences in κ_latt are attributed quantitatively to the phonon group velocities and lifetimes, and differences in the lifetimes are further attributed to the averaged three-phonon interaction strengths and the “phase space” of allowed energy- and momentum-conserving scattering pathways. Our analysis reveals a complex dependence of the κlatt on the crystal structure: structures that constrain the tetrel atoms to locally-symmetric environments show strong phonon anharmonicity and short lifetimes, but in simple structures such as the rocksalt phase these are counterbalanced by large group velocities and a smaller phase space. We find that these competing effects are optimised for orthorhombic Cmcm SnSe, resulting in the lowest predicted κlatt across the ten systems examined. Our findings provide new insight into the interplay between crystal structure and lattice thermal conductivity, and allow us to propose some new guidelines for how to optimise the thermal transport of the IV-VI chalcogenides through crystal engineering.

Published: October 2023

Bacterial species identification and characterization in clinical and industrial settings necessitate the use of diverse, labor-intensive, and time-consuming protocols, as well as the utilization of expensive and high-maintenance equipment. Furthermore, while cutting-edge identification technologies such as mass spectrometry and PCR are highly effective in identifying bacterial pathogens, they fall short in providing crucial information for identifying bacteria that are not present in the databases on which these methods rely. In response to these challenges, we present a robust and general approach to bacterial identification based on their unique enzymatic activity profiles. This method delivers results within 90 minutes, utilizing an array of highly sensitive and enzyme-selective chemiluminescent probes. Leveraging our recently developed technology of chemiluminescent luminophores, which emit light under physiological conditions, we have crafted an array of probes designed to rapidly detect various bacterial hydrolytic enzymatic activities, including some associated with antibiotic resistance. The analysis of chemiluminescent fingerprints from a diverse panel of prominent bacterial pathogens has revealed distinct enzymatic activity profiles for each strain. The reported universally applicable identification procedure offers a highly sensitive and expeditious means to delineate bacterial enzymatic activity profiles. This breakthrough opens new avenues for characterizing and identifying pathogens in research, clinical, and industrial applications.

Published: October 2023

Synthesis of ultra-small and colloidal stable CsPbBr3 NCs with high PLQY and significant lifetime is a challenge indeed. In this study we have synthesized CsPbBr3 materials (TBIA-CsPbBr3, DBIA-CsPbBr3, DBHT-CsPbBr3, and NBS-CsPbBr3) obtained via hot injection methods employing TBIA (tribromoisocyanuric acid), DBIA (dibromoisocyanuric acid), DBHT (1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin), NBS (N-bromosuccinamide) as the external bromine precursors. The TBIA-CsPbBr3 is found to have the smallest dimension (ultra-small ~5.6 nm) among these four. The outstanding traits exhibited by these NCs highlight their immense potential for practical applications across diverse fields.
Introducing SpectraFit: An Open-Source Tool for Interactive Spectral Analysis.
Authors: Hahn Anselm W. , Zsombor-Pindera Joseph , Kennepohl Pierre , DeBeer Serena
Published: October 2023

In chemistry, analyzing spectra through peak fitting is a crucial task that helps scientists extract useful quantitative information about a sample's chemical composition or electronic structure. To make this process more efficient, we have developed a new open-source software tool called SpectraFit. This tool allows users to perform quick data fitting using regular expressions of distribution and linear functions through the command line interface (CLI) or Jupyter Notebook, which can run on Linux, Windows, and MacOS, as well as in a Docker container. As part of our commitment to good scientific practice, we have introduced an output file-locking system to ensure the accuracy and consistency of information. This system collects input data, results data, and the initial fitting model in a single file, promoting transparency, reproducibility, collaboration, and innovation. To demonstrate SpectraFit's user-friendly interface and the advantages of its output file-locking system, we are focusing on a series of previously published iron-sulfur dimers and their XAS spectra. We will show how to analyze the XAS spectra via CLI and in a Jupyter Notebook by applying a global fitting routine. Additionally, we will demonstrate how SpectraFit can be used as a black box and white box solution, allowing users to apply their own algorithms to engineer the data further. The publication, along with its supplementary information, serves as a playbook to guide users through each step of the process. SpectraFit will streamline the peak fitting process and prove to be an invaluable resource for chemists and other professionals working in related fields.
Click and shift: the effect of triazole on solvatochromic dyes
Authors: Rouillon Jean , Benitez-Martin Carlos , Grøtli Morten , Andréasson Joakim
Published: October 2023

Solvatochromic dyes are prime candidates for exploring complex polarity-dependent biological processes. The design of novel dyes for these applications typically presents long synthetic routines. Herein we report a concise synthesis of azido-functionalised push-pull fluorenes, belonging to the most potent groups of fluorosolvatochromic compounds. These fluorenes can be attached to multiple alkynes via the highly versatile copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Our study focuses on the beneficial effect of the triazole, formed by CuAAC, comparing the simple push-pull fluorene FR1 with the novel model compound FR1TP. While the triazole in FR1TP is not conjugated to the dye’s π-system, the heterocycle surprisingly produces a bathochromic emission shift of around 50 nm. This effect, caused by triazole-induced LUMO stabilisation, was also observed for two other model compounds FR2TP and FR1TM. All compounds display photophysical properties that are highly desired for in vivo imaging dyes, including remarkable two-photon absorption properties and solid-state fluorescence. The experimental results are supported by theoretical calculations. We anticipate that our results will enable synthesis of new high-performance fluorosolvatochromic dyes for diverse applications.

A case of laryngeal tuberculosis mimicking supraglottic carcinoma in a pregnant patient and literature review
Authors: Baklacı Deniz , Cakir Turhan Anil , Harma Müge
Published: October 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common granulomatous disease, but laryngeal involvement is rare. The risk of developing this clinical form is higher in immunocompromised patients due to primary infection or reactivation of latent TB. Laryngeal TB can be misdiagnosed as laryngeal cancer since they have similar macroscopic lesions, and both cause dysphonia. We present a case of laryngeal TB in a 37-week pregnant patient who complained of dysphonia, odynophagia, and dysphagia. A mass with supraglottic carcinoma findings was discovered during a laryngoscopic examination. The reason for presenting this case is to emphasize the necessity for a high degree of suspicion for laryngeal TB involvement in patients with upper respiratory tract lesions in regions with high TB prevalence, to achieve early diagnosis and treatment.
Recycling Process for 124 Xe gas and Implementation of a 123 I Recovery System : Performance Evaluation and Equipment
Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Jung Hyun-Woo , Lee Dong-Hoon
Published: October 2023

123 I is a crucial nuclide used in the production of radiopharmaceuticals, particularly for diagnosing thyroid cancer and creating various labeled compounds. The demand for 123 I is increasing annually, leading to a rise in 123 I production. 123 I is generated through cyclotron-based beam irradiation of 124 Xe gas. However, transporting high-purity 124 Xe gas in Dewar containers can result in gas loss due to temperature and pressure variations during transit. To address this challenge, we have developed a system aimed at minimizing 124 Xe gas loss and efficiently recycling the used 124 Xe. Given the costliness of 124 Xe gas, effective management is essential. Additionally, ensuring the safe and loss-free transfer of the produced 123 I to the designated column is paramount. We have implemented a cleaning system utilizing high-purity helium and a heater to prevent pipeline contamination after production. This paper discusses the strategies employed in the design, manufacturing, and trial operation of GPM, HCS, and WPM. Through these measures, we have succeeded in significantly reducing 124 Xe loss and minimizing residual 124 Xe and 123 I with in the pipelines. The result is a highly efficient radiopharmaceutical production system.
A Study on the Development of a Disease Occurrence Prediction Model (DOPM) Based on Big Data Analysis of ICT Equipment in Broiler Farms
Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Woo Yong-Ku
Published: October 2023

Since 2014, the government has promoted the ICT equipment support project for livestock farmers as an alternative system to address the rapid aging of livestock farmers and sharp decline in labor force due to population decline. This project aims to realize more precise and scientific smart livestock farming through the analysis of big data produced by ICT equipment in real time. Prior to the introduction of ICT equipment, farmers relied on their long-term experience in farm operations to implement emergency measures by using a sudden increase in the number of dead birds or sudden change in the amount of water consumption data as an indicator of the occurrence of disease. However, damage and loss to farmers have not been reduced with these measures. Therefore, this study aims to address the farmers' consistent desire to develop a disease outbreak prediction model (DOPM) that can be easily utilized in the field and has high precision. The current study developed a disease outbreak prediction model (DOPM) that can find a singularity (golden time) in the data even if only one type of ICT data (Water & Feed) is properly monitored and analyzed. We found that if the time when a sharp decrease (more than 100% decrease from the previous day), confirmed through the daily feed intake data for two consecutive days (golden time = DOPM), is set as the start of the disease outbreak and preventive measures are taken quickly, this model can be used to minimize farm losses and damages better than the existing method that relies on analog data and experience. Additionally, the DOPM was confirmed to be the fastest, most sensitive, and most accurate model in the field poultry farms. As a result, we have found a method to interpret non-verbal signals of the chickens with the transformed ICT-Data in the AI-age.

Rhizoctonia bataticola, the root-rot pathogen of groundnut readily utilized L-phenyl- alanine, L-tyrosine and DL-tryptophan when either substituted as nitrogen source or suppli- mented in Czapek's medium. In the tryptophan supplemented medium indoleacetic acid was measured; the quantity of IAA synthesised considerably varied with incubation time and also with the amount of precursor fortified in the medium. Several phenolic substances were detected in the culture filtrate. Like IAA, ammonia in the culture filtrate also varied with incubation time. Phenylalanine ammoniatyase (PAL-ase) activity was detected in the culture filtrate of the medium which received phenylalanine. But, no tyrosine-deaminase was detected in tyrosine fortified medium. The role of these amino acids in the biosynthesis of IAA and phenols by R. bataticola is discussed.

Field experiments were conducted in two seasons to compare the efficiency of various types of tillage treatments combined with different weed control methods. There was no significant difference in yield among conventional tillage (two ploughing with country plough), minimal tillage (one cultivation either with country plough or mould board plough or power tiller) and no tillage. One ploughing with mould board plough (minimal tillage) combined with atrazine band application and intercultivation recorded the maximum yield.

Two pot culture experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of high doses of different herbicides in the control of White horsenettle. Tordon 22K. in combination with either bromacil or 2,4-D and San H. 9789 completely prevented the establishment of the root cuttings in the experiment where herbicides were applied as pre-emergence spray. In others the reduction in establishment was more than 90 per cent. In the other experiment, Tordon 22K and San H. 9789 completely destroyed the weeds as post-emer- gence spray to the established weeds. The weed control ranged from 23 to 77 per cent in the rest of the treatments.

The influence of six granular insecticides, viz. diazinon, cytrolane. Carbofuran, carbaryl+lindane, quinalphos and Dursban on the quantitative changes in the microbial population of rice field soils was studied. When applied at recommended doses (1.5 kg a-l/ha) there was no deleterious effect on the fungal population due to the, insecticides. Among the different insecticides, there was no significant difference in respect of thoir influence on the microbial population. The same inference held true with actinomycetes. Howover, the bacterial population underwent a significant fail due to the insecticidal application. When the activities of soil enzymes like phosphatase, B-glucosidase and invertase were determined following the insecticidal application. B-glucosidase alone was significantly inhibited and other enzymes recorded no change.

The ability of Azotobacter chroococcum to fix nitrogen as influenced by aeration was studied under three different conditions namely, continously shaken, continuously stationary and partially shaken cultures. Continuously shaken cultures showed six fold increase in population over the partially shaken one and twice as much over the continuously stationery one. Nitrogen fixed per gram of sugar consumed was 58.4 mg with continuously stationary culture, 84.3 mg with partially shaken culture and 68.4 mg with continuously shaken culture. Highest per cell fixation of nitrogen was obtained with partially shaken culture followed by continuously stationary and continuously shaken cultures.
