Impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Economic Development: Evidence from Nepal (1995-2020)
Authors: Kumar Nand Kishor
Published: November 2024

This article examines the connection between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and economic development of Nepal from 1995 to 2020. Utilizing econometric models, the article analyzes the impacts of FDI advents on various economic indicators are GDP, employment, and technological advancement. This paper concludes that FDI has a positive impact on economic growth, several structural, and policy-related barriers have impeded its full potential. The paper has been designed in both analytical and descriptive nature. Data from secondary sources, including the Ministry of Finance and Nepal Rastra Bank, have been used to measure the variables. The data were analyzed with E-views in order to be interpreted. The model's co-integration was validated using the Johansen Co-integration Test findings. There was no evidence of a long-term connection from the positive and insignificant VECM coefficient. Still, a causal short-term association was exposed between GDP and GFCF. There are three types of causality: one-way between GDP and FDI, two-way among GFCF and GDP, and GFCF and FDI, were all established by the Granger causality test. The outcomes display how statistically significant the model is over-all. Also, GFCF and GDP presented a strong association (p-value = 0.0334). GFCF explained 78.53% of GDP has no link between FDI and GDP.
Mathematical Models on Mechanics of Biofluids
Authors: Timsina Ramesh Chandra
Published: November 2024

In this work, we study the mathematical models of flows for some biofluids. In biomechanics, peristaltic flow plays an important role in which the motion generated in the fluid contained in a distensible tube when a progressive wave of area contraction and expansion travels along the wall of the tube. We consider the effect of elasticity of the tube wall in the flow through the progressive wave travelling along its length without its direct calculation. Since the no – slip condition has used on a moving undulating wall surface, it determines the sinusoidal boundary conditions on the upper and lower wall of the tube. The wide occurrence of peristaltic motion gives its result physiologically from neuro-muscular properties of any tubular smooth muscle.
Ecofeminism: Resistance to Ecological and Female Oppression
Authors: Shrestha Ravi Kumar
Published: November 2024

Eco-feminism is a movement and an ideology against the oppression of nature and females. It shows a link between nature and females that are exploited and oppressed by males in the world. It discovers that the position of the nature and women is similar and both are treated as submissive and subservient subjects. It is related to masculine domination in the society. Historically, it appeared as a great political movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the west. It was Francoise d'Eaubonne who first developed the term ecological feminism in 1972 discussing that the destruction of the planet is due to the profit motive of the males. Since both nature and female are violated and suppressed by patriarchal or male superiority ideology, ecofeminism as a movement appears powerful to resist the oppression of both nature and female. The principal objective of the research is to explore how ecofeminism acts a defense for preserving the rights of both women and nature. Hence, this paper explores how ecofeminism as a movement and ideology defends the rights of women and nature that should be preserved for the preservation of ecology and human rights on the earth. According to Greta Gaard, eco-feminism provides a theoretical bridge for women working in the related movements of environmentalism, animal liberation and feminism. Linking both rights of nature and women, it includes the voices of trees, animals and women and fights for the liberation of them resisting any force against the exploitation and oppression of both nature and women. Therefore, becoming aware of Gaard’s views on ecofemenism, her theory of ecofeminism can be applied as a major theoretical lens for the broad theoretical framework. The major finding of the paper is that ecofeminism as a theory or movement or ideology is needed to fight to resist the oppression of women and nature globally to maintain ecology rights of women.

Published: November 2024

Airports are very dynamic and complex environments, making them high-risk places for incidents and accidents, both due to the aircraft's movement and to the building facilities or structures at the airport. Emergency service personnel must have high skills in emergency response, quick decision-making abilities, and a deep understanding of the various dangerous situations that may be encountered in the field. Continuous education and training are essential to ensure their readiness and ability to deal with emergencies. This study aims to develop Virtual Reality-based Search and Rescue learning media to improve the skills and understanding of training participants in search and rescue operations. This learning media is designed to provide a realistic and interactive simulation experience, allowing participants to practice rescue procedures in various dangerous scenarios without real risk. The development methods used in this study include the stages of needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE). At the analysis stage, the identification of training needs and competencies that must be achieved is carried out. The design stage involves designing Virtual Reality scenarios that cover various field conditions and rescue techniques. Effectiveness is evaluated by measuring the increase in skills and understanding of participants before and after using Virtual Reality media. The study results indicate that this learning media effectively improves the operational and decision-making skills of training participants in emergency situations. The feasibility assessment by media experts obtained an average score of 88.72%. Then, the feasibility assessment by material experts obtained an average score of 88.90%. After conducting a product trial on students, the evaluation results were 81.30%. Based on the results of the validation and trial of this product, Virtual Reality-based learning media can be recommended as an innovative and efficient training tool for Search and Rescue learning media.
Model of spatiotemporal coherent summation of ultra-wideband chaotic radio pulses formed by independent emitters
Authors: Zubkov A. S. , Kuzmin L. V. , Efremova E. V.
Published: November 2024

A model of spatiotemporal summation of ultra-wideband chaotic radio pulses is proposed. The feasibility of using this model for analyzing scenarios of time-coherent radiation from independent sources of ultra-wideband chaotic radio pulses in wireless ultra-wideband systems is substantiated. Two scenarios are considered: where the distance between receiving point and emitters is much greater than the typical size of a group of emitters and where the receiving point is located between the emitters. Distributions of the total pulse energy in space for these scenarios are obtained.
Constructive and destructive aspects of empathy as a consequence of its multidimensional nature
Authors: Kholodnaya M. A. , Solovyeva E. V.
Published: November 2024

Research objective: to consider possible causes of psychological heterogeneity of empathy [its constructive and destructive manifestations]. The specifics of the functions of different components and different levels of empathy in relation to the characteristics of mental activity are analyzed. Constructive and destructive manifestations of empathy are described, which are expressed both at the pole of high empathy and at the pole of low empathy. The existence of the splitting effect of both high and low indicators of empathy with the allocation of its productive and unproductive components is substantiated. The criterion for splitting the poles of empathy is the measure of formation [and the measure of interaction] of conceptual and metacognitive abilities. Thus, the multidimensional nature of empathy is characterized by three aspects: firstly, the complexity of the composition, taking into account the specifics of the functions of different components, secondly, the multilevel [the presence of lower and higher levels of emotional response] and, thirdly, the effect of splitting high and low empathy.
Features of physiological support for goal-directed activity of people with various individual typological characteristics
Authors: Pertsov S. S. , Klimenko A. V.
Published: November 2024

The challenge of increasing human productivity in different fields of professional and other activities has become particularly acute in the 21st century. For many years, research into the field of psychophysiology, as one of the areas of medical and biological sciences, has been dedicated to solving a number of challenges related to optimizing human labor activity. However, the results of this work, especially when performed on different models, often present contradictory findings. This article presents both classical and new data on the physiological underpinnings for the goal-directed activity of individuals with various psychophysiological traits. Some of the most commonly analysed psychophysiological traits in the study of goal-directed activity in humans are intro-extraversion, neuroticism and personal anxiety. The behavioral characteristics of people with these individual typological features, and the variability of performance of goal-directed activity, are considered. The article presents data of vegetative support and the parameters of electrical brain activity during the realization of goal-directed activity of individuals with different psychophysiological characteristics.
Psychometric analysis of the Russian language version of the questionnaire “The Vengeance Scale”: questionnaire of revenge and forgiveness
Authors: Kolivanova E. V. , Enikolopov S. N.
Published: November 2024

The phenomenon of revenge is actively studied in psychology, but the tendency to vindictive behavior is difficult to measure, which is confirmed by the small number of methods designed to measure it. The Vengeance Scale was developed as the first measure of vengefulness. The original version of the questionnaire is recognized in foreign psychology and is widely used for scientific and practical purposes. The purpose of this work is to analyze the psychometric characteristics of the Russian version of the “The Vengeance Scale” questionnaire. The study involved 317 people aged 18 to 69 years, of which 113 were men (35.6%). Respondents filled out the Russian version of the “The Vengeance Scale” questionnaire and the “BPAQ-24” questionnaire, which measures anger, physical aggression and hostility. As a result of factor analysis, a two-factor structure of the “The Vengeance scale” questionnaire was established, including the factors “vindictiveness” (Cronbach’s α = 0.902) and “forgiveness” (Cronbach’s α = 0.811), and therefore the technique received a modified name “Vengeance and Forgiveness Questionnaire” (WMD). Correlation analysis established significant positive relationships between vindictiveness and physical aggression, hostility and anger. Gender differences were found: in men, “vindictiveness” is more pronounced, in women, “forgiveness” is more pronounced. Psychometric analysis confirmed the reliability-consistency, validity and reliability-stability of the Vengeance and Forgiveness Questionnaire, which allows us to recommend the adaptable methodology as a tool for diagnosing vindictiveness.

Analysis of modern concepts in psychology: the answer to the debaters
Authors: Zhuravlev A. L. , Sergienko E. A.
Published: November 2024

Debatable issues are discussed in the responses and comments of the debaters (9 papers) on a series of articles by A.L. Zhuravlev, E.A. Sergienko “Analysis of modern concepts in psychology. Part I. The experience of systematization of concepts”, “Analysis of modern concepts in psychology. Part II. Development of modern concepts by scientists of the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, “System-network organization of modern concepts of psychology (using the example of developments by employees of the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences)”, which were prepared on the basis of collective work “Development of concepts of modern Psychology” (2018, 2019, 2021). Most of the debaters discussed the system-network hypothesis of the organization of the conceptual space, paying little attention to the characteristics of modern concepts that we have highlighted. Judgments have been made about the polyparadigmatic nature of modern concepts, which on the one hand may contradict the pre-paradigm status of psychology (V.A. Mazilov), and on the other — to confuse the theoretical planning of research. Modern views on the polyparadigmality of psychology in the era of metamodern, constant interaction and mutual influence of different paradigms, not always reflected by the authors, were presented. The proposal to develop a system-network approach, taking into account the strength of connections and the degree of growth of hierarchies, becomes a task for further testing of this hypothesis. There may also be a different division of concepts than that undertaken by the authors, and this would show that the essence of their organization probably would not have changed. The prospects of our work may be further substantiation of the criteria for the allocation of psychological concepts, their place and significance in the socio-human sciences and strengthening interdisciplinary analysis. In part, some answers to the debatable questions are presented in a subsequent article by A.L. Zhuravlev, E.A. Sergienko, A.A. Fedorov “Bibliometric analysis of the three-volume work “Development of concepts of modern psychology” (2018–2021)” (2023) and the collective monograph “Scientific approaches in modern domestic psychology” (2023).
Two English Translations of Alexander Pushkin’s “A History of Pugachev”
Authors: Aleksandrova Kseniia S.
Published: November 2024

The article considers English translations of Alexander Pushkins A History of Pugachev. The English attention to the historical work of the Russian poet seems rather belated: translators turned to the text when the majority of Pushkins writings had appeared to be translated. The complete text of the History was translated into English twice by Earl Sampson and Paul Debrezceny. Both translations were first published in 1983 and later republished (we know of two reprints of Debrezcenys work and one of Sampsons), which speaks for the popularity of the History with the English-speaking audience of the time. This article provides general information about both translations, compares and contrasts them, highlighting stylistically noteworthy passages, notes some inaccuracies springing from the lack of knowledge of the cultural nuances (e.g., topographical and historical details, names). Apart from factual distortions contained in both translations (which is unfortunate, since Pushkin approached his History of Pugachev as scholarly), these works are quite praiseworthy: they offer brilliantly rendered passages, attempting to convey the features of Pushkins style. As for the differences between two English texts, they seem to be prompted by targeting different audiences. Debrezcenys main strategy seems to be domestication, while Sampson is prone to foreignization. Both use translational commentaries with additional information for English readers; however, Debrezceny did not retain Pushkins system of notes, while Sampson's commentaries are more extensive and detailed.
“...To Confess with Each Other in a Letter...ˮ: Family Correspondence in the Understanding of Young I. V. Kireevsky
Authors: Kuzmina Marina D.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the family correspondence of I.V. Kireevsky in 1830, the period of his stay in Germany. As the study showed, at that time he, in contrast to the attitude towards buffoonery prevailing in epistolary communication, affirmed the priority of a confessional letter. On the one hand, this was due to the epistolary traditions of his family (established, in particular, in the correspondence of A.P. Elagina with V.A. Zhukovsky), on the other hand, very trusting relationships in his family; finally, thirdly, his personal ideas about correspondence and the needs of the soul. At the same time, Kireevsky did not return to the traditions of sentimental confessional correspondence of the second half of the 18th early 19th centuries. He rethought these traditions in the context of the current romantic trends of the 1830s. Under his pen, the letter acquired the utmost confidence, with outward restraint. The kinship of the souls of the family members affirmed by the young epistolographer and, consequently, the ultimate convergence, up to the identity of the addresser and the addressee, entailed the ultimate reduction of verbal epistolary outpourings (excessive and helpless to express the innermost meanings known to the participants in the correspondence), the merging of the genre features of the letter and diary; finally, a rethinking of the genre of travel writing.

The article highlights the main milestones of the scholarly activity of Natalia Vasilyevna Kornienko, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who presently celebrates her jubilee and is greeted by the national academic community. The works of N.V. Kornienko, dedicated to the creative heritage of A. Platonov, M. Sholokhov, K. Fedin, Vs. Ivanov, have updated and streamlined the source database for the research of Soviet writers. The critical editions prepared by N.V. Kornienko are valued for their in-depth exploration of historical and literary material and thorough reliance on the documentary sources and archives. Such publications reveal the desire for unbiased research, the ability to consider material within two contrasting cultural streams (metropolis and emigration), which unite in the literature of the era, the contemplation of literary phenomena and processes against a broad socio-cultural background, pairing them with the corresponding phenomena and processes in other fields of creativity, primarily in social and philosophical thought. An outstanding scholar, she harmoniously combines devoted commitment to academic service with professorial skills, creating workspace friendly for everyone from young students to mature specialists in the field, so that all feel needed and involved in the great cause of preserving Russian culture.
Towards a Typology of Diachronic Sources of Adversative Markers
Authors: Stepanyants Maxim G.
Published: November 2024

This paper is dedicated to the diachronic sources of adversative markers in the worlds languages. It presents a typological classification of meanings from which the linguistic units that have the meanings but, however, nevertheless or whereas (the meanings но, однако) have apparently developed. The classification includes the following sources, which are absent from the previous classifications that we have consulted (or need refinement): hesitant substitution (rather, more like), focalization (exactly), invariable outcome (be that as it may), absence of a hindrance (without hindrance), and also such discourse functions as repetition (again), transition (anyway, now) and continuity (next). The distinction between four semantic types of adversative coordination (concessive, substitutive, oppositive and argumentative) that we make allows us to show the processes of grammaticalization in more detail. We sum up the apparent semantic shifts by putting them onto a semantic map. Our observations are based on the established examples of diachronic semantic shifts, etymological data, and instances of synchronic polysemy.
Transformation of Oblomov’s Portrait in Two Editions of I. A. Goncharov’s Novel: About Literary Discussion with “Physiologies” of F. V. Bulgarin
Authors: Belyaeva Irina A.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses the situation associated with changes in the portrait of Oblomov in two canonical editions of the novel, 1859 and 1862. Along with the existing explanations for the disappearance of the “free thought” metaphor from the second edition of the portrait, which is associated with the elimination of romantic style or with the writer’s haste in preparing the 1862 edition, the article puts forward another version of the transformation of the text. It is motivated by Goncharov’s literary controversy with that line of the “physiological” direction in the literature of the middle of the 19th century, which was presented in the essays of F.V. Bulgarin. The article shows that in both early editions of the novel, the initial and 1859, there are metaphors of “sleepy mind” and “free thought”, which were presented in one of the essays included in the publication “Mosquitoes, or All sorts of things by Thaddeus Bulgarin” under title “Running Thought”. In the early version of Oblomov’s portrait, the situation described in this “physiology” is read, when the “owner” of “mind” and “thought” living in St. Petersburg only coexists with his sleepy mind, and his thought completely leaves him and travels like a “free bird” to other houses of St. Petersburg, observing the “dead kingdom” everywhere. The essay offers a naturalistic section of the city. The interest in Bulgarin on the part of Goncharov is regarded by the author of the article not as an accidental phenomenon, but is associated with the controversy of two lines of “naturalism” in the literature of the 1840s and with the ironic tactics of Goncharov’s narrative. A significant role is also played by personal motives, Goncharov’s negative attitude towards Bulgarin’s personality as a writer and critic. Goncharov in his other writings and letters of the 1830-1850s often reproduces the style of Bulgarin, and Bulgarin’s subtexts always work for him to create an ironic mode, and Goncharov’s narration itself is sustained in a polemical manner. These examples are also systematized in the article. And in general in the opinion of the author of the article, the vector of controversy with Bulgarin should also be extended to the novel “Oblomov”, work on which began in early of 1840s, in the period of commercial success of Bulgarin’s physiological enterprises. Goncharov’s attempt to eliminate Bulgarin’s “traces” in the second edition of Oblomov’s portrait, and then return to them in later editions of the novel, is considered in the article as a kind of “organic contradiction” in the writer’s poetics and publishing tactics, which probably require additional scholarly reflection.
“Point of View” as a Compositional Technique
Authors: Мельников Н.
Published: November 2024

The article attempts to clarify the literary terminology, namely, to give a clear and consistent semantic content to the term “point of view”. A brief overview of the definitions of one of the key concepts of narratology, presented both in encyclopedic and educational publications, reveals a picture of conceptual and terminological discord, in which the term is blurred and meaningless. Using examples from classical texts of Russian literature, “point of view” is considered as the most important principle of the subjective organization of narrative prose.
On the Beginning of Author’s Lexicography in Russia
Authors: Дружинин Петр
Published: November 2024

The article presents an overview of the updated history and chronology of the initial stage of the author’s lexicography in Russia, based on a corpus of previously unknown archival documents, as well as some lost publications of the 19th century. It seems that the beginning of academic author’s lexicography can be traced since 1842, when Moscow academicians led by Ivan Davydov put forward the idea of the need for the participation of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in compiling dictionaries of the language of writers. In 1848 they formulated the “Rules for compiling dictionaries or indices of the classical Russian writers8j1;, having completed the first indexes of words of the works of Lomonosov and Karamzin. It is established that the activity of the Academy of Sciences on the creation of Pushkin’s language dictionary was started in 1848; and by 1849, according to the program of Moscow academicians, the first indexes of words were compiled for the works of Gavriil Derzhavin and Vasily Zhukovsky. The project of Piotr Bilyarsky to create the dictionary of the language of Mikhail Lomonosov is described in detail and the true reasons for the failure of this large-scale project are explained. Another attempt to compile the dictionary of Lomonosov’s language, by Anton Budilovich (1871), is regarded as the first published dictionary of the writer’s language in Russia. The article presents the analysis of the significant lexicographic work conducted by Mikhail Sukhomlinov both before being elected to the Academy of Sciences (1850s) and already as a member of the Academy (1870–1880s). The paper is completed by a description of the first index in the history of Russian lexicography for literary translations – Nikolay Gnedich’s Iliad and Vasily Zhukovsky’s Odyssey (1885).

“Don Juan” by Molière: on the Problem of National Sources of French Comedy with Spanish Plot
Authors: Golubkov Andrey V.
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to analysis of French sources of the play “Don Juan” by Molière (1665) which reproduces the famous Spanish plot about Don Juan. In the process of research, we demonstrate that Molière’s play dating back to the Italian reworkings of the play by Tirso de Molina, largely uses ready-made phrases and plot moves borrowed from the French comedies about Don Juan by playwrights Dorimon and Villiers, as well as the plays “The Salamanca Scholar, or Generous Enemies” by Paul Scarron (1655) and Pierre Corneille’s “The Liar” (1644). Interpretation of the significant coincidences found in plays allows us to conclude about the French theme in Moliere’s “Don Juan” which is informed by rethinking of a nobleman’s (gentleman’s) honor and the popularization of the social ideal of “honnête homme”.
The Plot of “The Wizard and His Horse” in the Oirat Monument “Aršāni Nomiyin Tuuǰi” (“The Tale of the Nectar Teaching”)
Authors: Menyaev Badma V.
Published: November 2024

This work continues the study and introduction into scientific circulation of the Oirat monument “Aršāni nomiyin tuuǰi” (“The Legend of the Nectar Teaching”). The article is the first to examine the plot of “The Wizard and His Horse” using the material from one of the unpublished lists of the monument, stored in the manuscript department of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The author explores the origin of the plot, citing its variants from ancient Indian, Tibetan and Mongolian literatures. The study of this plot is dictated by the need to further understand the content of this written monument. The article used descriptive, comparative-typological and comparative-contrast methods to identify general and local features of the plot in the works under consideration. The author came to the conclusion that the plot “The Wizard and His Horse” in “The Tale of the Nectar Teaching” was created on the basis of ancient Indian and Tibetan material, which is based on the “concept of illusoryness” and the “theory of instantaneity”, which occupy an important place in both Buddhism and ancient Indian philosophy. The results obtained in this article will be used by the author in preparing a typological index of the plots of the Oirat monument “Aršāni nomiyin tuuǰi” (“The Legend of the Nectar Teaching”).

Authors: Nair Geetika , Verma Pranay , Agarwal Vernika , Bhatia Prakash , Chauhan Kshamta
Published: November 2024

To meet the needs of the growing population, the extraction capacity has outdone the regeneration capacity of renewable sources. So, the adoption of sustainable methods to generate energy should be seriously taken into consideration. However, the energy sector is facing numerous hurdles in implementing sustainable methods of producing clean energy. Existing research has identified a few factors that hinder the execution of sustainable energy development in South Asian Low and middle income countries (LMICs), but lacks a systematic investigation and is unable to decipher any causal relationship between the factors and their importance. This paper identifies the key factors that are being faced by the energy sector in the achievement of sustainable energy using existing literature and uses a Fuzzy Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to quantify the cause-and-effect relationship between the challenges. The results found were classified into financial factors, Operational Factors, and technical factors that were the key factors that act as a hurdle in the accomplishment of sustainable energy.

This paper critically reviews the role of dairy farming policies and interventions required by the different government agencies and their associations. This article explains the divergence in formulation and implementation of dairy development policies and schemes (DDPS) in the Indian dairy sector. This paper is based on qualitative research representing a diverse range of epistemological, theoretical, and disciplinary perspectives. Review of Literature is to access databases from peer-reviewed journals and published survey reports of statutory and non-statutory bodies in the dairy farming sector. Dairy farmers/dairy entrepreneurs/milk producers are the respondents and information gathered through detailed telephonic interviews and audio recordings due to COVID-19 outbreak. Sample size ranges from 5–10 responses from stakeholders involved in dairy farming in Milk Supply Chain (MSC). Thematic Analysis (TA) is used for identifying, analyzing and interpreting patterns of text and its meaning (‘themes’) using NVIVO 10 software. Benefit of this research are also academicians, researchers and agriculture scientists for further research in the field of dairy farming and MSC. This paper develops a fair understanding about risks and challenges among small-medium size farmers in effective implementation of dairy development programmes and schemes. Dairy producers,processors and enterprises are able to formulate better marketing strategies for future market expansion of desi cow milk. Grounded Theory (GT), an iterative process based on the perception and concerns of respondents gathered from initial data is a novelty of this research. Study is only limited to qualitative approaches with small sample sizes. There is a need to investigate other statistical methods to validate the research.

The main criminal procedural and forensic means of preliminary research on living person body are highlighted. The methods of linguistic analysis, formal-legal, formal-logical, forecasting, as well as activity and praxeological approaches in criminology are used. It is argued that as a result of a preliminary forensic examination of living person body, it is possible to obtain information about signs of its appearance (in particular, functional), materially fixed traces on body and clothes, as well as about the person who left them, as a social being. It was found that the leading procedural means of examining living person body of a is an examination aimed at identifying traces of a criminal offense and special signs on a person’s body and clothing. It is proved that special signs in the context of research should be understood as any individual (person-al) anatomical features of a person’s appearance. Visual observation is recognized as the main method of research within the scope of this investigative (research) action, and investigative experiment is procedural means of researching functional features of a person’s appearance. This research makes possible to determine a person’s ability to perform certain actions, the presence of professional and other special skills, as well as psychophysiological reactions to certain stimuli. It is noted that the functional signs of a person’s appearance can be recognized during other verbal and mixed investigative (search) actions: interrogation, search, presentation for identification. Information obtained in this way is indicative and can be used for tactical purposes. It is emphasized that further prospects of scientific research in this area are related to the development of criminal procedural and forensic means of preliminary forensic examination of corpses.

Cancer is a major global health problem. The type of malignant neoplasm and the potency of the immune response against tumors are two of the key factors influencing the outcome of the disease. The degree of tumor infiltration by lymphocytes plays an important role in antitumor response development, generally correlating with a favorable prognosis of treatment for certain cancers. We analyzed the abundance of tumor-infiltrating B cells (TIBs) in solid tumors of different cancers. TIBs were shown to be more abundant in colon and sigmoid colon cancer samples compared with cecal, rectal, and kidney cancer samples. The median and interquartile range of the TIB fraction were 11.5% and 4–20% in colon cancer, 6% and 3–11% in sigmoid colon cancer, 2.7% and 0.7–3.7% in cecal cancer, 2.5% and 0.9–3.6% in rectal cancer, 1.4% and 1.0–2.3% in kidney cancer, and 3.0% and 1.8–12% in lung cancer, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in the abundance of TIBs among samples at different stages of the cancer. Hence, investigation of the B cell response in colon cancer is of particular interest, since increased quantities of TIBs may indicate the existence of immunogenic tumor markers or the cell-cell interactions involved in disease progression. We believe that studying the diversity of TIBs in colon cancer will increaseour understanding of the mechanisms of the disease, contributing to the identification of new molecular targets for targeted oncotherapy.

Low-grade gliomas are divided into two main genetic phenotypes based on the presence or absence of mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes. The mutated IDH phenotype (IDHmut), in contrast to the wild-type phenotype (IDHwt), is characterized by a more positive response to pharmacological intervention and a significantly longer survival time. In this study, we analyzed the differential co-expression of 225,000 microRNA–mRNA pairs at the level of correlations between microRNA levels and their potential mRNA targets. Analysis of the associative relationships of individual representatives of the selected pairs revealed that the level of mRNAs encoded by the ELN, ARL4C, C9orf64, PLAT, and FKBP9 genes associated with aggressive progression of glioma was increased in the IDHwt group. Meanwhile, the levels of miRNA-182, miRNA-455, and miRNA-891a associated with the negative prognosis in glioma were generally increased in the IDHmut group. Most (16/21) of the detected 21 microRNA–mRNA pairs with a significant difference in regulation between the IDHwt and IDHmut glioma samples had a weak or moderate positive correlation in IDHmut samples and a negative correlation in IDHwt samples. Therefore, our findings indicate that glioma samples from the IDHmut group with a positive prognosis potentially have a significantly less pronounced ability to microRNA-mediated regulation. We further suggest that such physiological disorders can lead to reduced tumor viability, resulting in an increased ability of the host to resist the spread of a malignant transformation of this genetic phenotype.

Accumulation of neurotoxic aggregates of beta-amyloid peptides (Aβ) is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) increase Aβ aggregation and cytotoxicity, and the content of specific Aβ proteoforms is elevated in senile plaques of AD patients. The pathophysiological mechanisms of aggregate formation and the role of Aβ proteoforms need thorough study both to understand the role played by specific processes in the initiation of neuronal degradation and to find effective preventive means of therapeutic action. The present work investigates the dynamics of accumulation of phosphorylated serine-8 proteoform Aβ (pSer8-Aβ) using the 5xFAD mouse amyloid model. Aβ samples from human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain were also investigated. Western blot studies using 1E4E11 and 4G8 antibodies showed that accumulation of pSer8-Aβ in mouse brain starts as early as at the age of 3 months and reaches a maximum by the age of 14–17 months, which is generally similar to the dynamics of accumulation of the total pool of Aβ peptides. The pSer8-Aβ level in human CSF in AD patients can reach ~ 1–10% of the total amount of Aβ. Mass spectrometric analysis showed that Aβ phosphorylation by the Ser8, Tyr10, and Ser26 residues in brain tissues, as well as phosphorylation of the APP by Thr719 residue, is possible. These findings support the assumption that pSer8-Aβ proteoforms are involved in amyloidosis in AD.
