CHINA’S INVESTMENT ACTIVITY IN THE BRICS COUNTRIES
Authors: Sokolan D. S.
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this article is to determine how close China’s investment cooperation is with the BRICS countries and what are the prospects for China’s investment activities in these countries. In recent years, China has consistently ranked among the top three largest investors in the world. Many developed countries are concerned about China’s active investment activity in Europe and Africa. However, despite all the risks from FDI, countries continue to attract FDI, including Brazil and South Africa. In particular, today, due to the tense geopolitical situation, Russia is interested in China’s investments more than ever. The BRICS countries already have their own bank to finance projects within the association, however, it is important to strengthen investment cooperation as well.

The results of the study show that the main capital of Chinese investors is accumulated in Brazil, where Chinese investors are attracted by the extractive industry. Almost half as much Chinese FDI was made in Russia as in Brazil, where the country’s energy sector was also the main recipient. Despite the difficult political environment in India, Chinese investors have been gradually increasing investment in the country in recent years. South Africa and Russia are now members of China’s The Belt and Road Initiative, where China directs a significant share of all its foreign investments. Having the greatest financial capacity, China can become a link between the countries by investing in joint projects in these countries.

Published: February 2024

The experiment was aimed to assess the influence of dietary supplementation with probiotic,  prebiotic, and synbiotic on the haemato-biochemical profile of SVVU T-17 grower pigs. Twenty-four  pigs, aged 2-3 months and with similar body weights, were randomly assigned to four treatment  groups: Control (basal diet alone), T1 (basal diet with 0.1% multi-strain probiotic), T2 (basal diet with  0.1% mannan-oligosaccharide prebiotic), and T3 (basal diet with 0.1% synbiotic). Haematological  parameters showed no significant differences among the groups (P > 0.05). However, serum albumin  levels were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in the T3 group. Both serum cholesterol and triglycerides  exhibited significant (P < 0.01) decreases in the treatment groups (T1, T2 and T3) compared to the  control group, while total protein and serum glucose remained consistent. In conclusion, synbiotic  supplementation demonstrated a positive effect on serum albumin, and all treatments led to a  significant decrease in lipid profiles.

An efficient LC-QTOF-mass spectrometry method for monitoring naltrexone compliance in urine of opioid-dependent subjects
Authors: Jain Raka , Mandal Piyali , Rana Sachin
Published: February 2024

Naltrexone (NTX) is an orally effective opiate antagonist used in maintenance treatment for opiate dependence. Its utility is limited by the patient's noncompliance. The study aimed to develop an efficient method for the detection of NTX in urine by LC-QTOF-mass spectrometry (MS) and its application to NTX compliance in opioid-dependent subjects. Sample preparation included a dilution step and direct injection to LC-QTOF-MS. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a C-18 column using a mixture of mobile phase 0.1 percent formic acid in water and 0.1 percent formic acid in 95 percent methanol. The calibration curve was linear in the range 1-100 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient higher than 0.996. Precision and accuracy were acceptable, and the recovery efficiency range was 80-85 percent. The current LC-QTOF-MS method is simple, precise, sensitive, and can be used for monitoring NTX compliance among opioid-dependent subjects in a clinical setting.
Tianeptine as an opiate replacement in a patient on methadone treatment: A case report
Authors: Velagapudi Vivek , Calabrese Jordan , Sethi Roopa
Published: February 2024

Tianeptine, an antidepressant and full μ-opioid receptor agonist, has increased in popularity and has been used as an over-the-counter supplement over the past decade. Due to its well-documented euphoric effects, there exists elevated risk for potential abuse. Buprenorphine–naloxone has been successfully utilized to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) in patients concurrently using tianeptine, limiting withdrawal symptoms and abstinence. However, there is limited evidence on the management of tianeptine use disorder, specifically methadone or naltrexone. The current opioid epidemic, the emerging use of tianeptine, and the lack of physician awareness have emphasized the need for further research on the role of tianeptine in medication-assisted treatment for OUD. This case report aims to demonstrate how medication-assisted therapy can be successfully utilized in a patient with opioid and severe other (tianeptine) drug use disorder.

Published: February 2024

As mulheres enfrentam restrições ao ocuparem espaços públicos, e essa realidade é agravada em alguns países, incluindo o Brasil. Ao optarem por viajar sozinhas, elas estão cientes dos riscos e da vulnerabilidade que enfrentam, resultando em inseguranças e medos. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as ações e publicações do Ministério do Turismo do Brasil em relação à segurança de mulheres que viajam sozinhas no país. Com objetivos específicos de abordar conceitos como gênero e violência, contextualizando-os no cenário atual, e explorar a relação entre gênero, violência e turismo, destacando os desafios específicos enfrentados por mulheres viajantes. Através de uma abordagem exploratória, o estudo se baseou em pesquisa bibliográfica e netnografia. Os resultados revelaram que o Brasil ainda é um destino inseguro para mulheres viajantes, e há a necessidade de implementar mais ações para tornar o país um local seguro e acolhedor para elas. A promoção da igualdade de gênero, a conscientização sobre a violência contra mulheres e o fortalecimento de medidas de segurança são fundamentais para avançar nessa direção. Essa pesquisa evidencia a importância de se enfrentar os desafios da violência de gênero no contexto do turismo, buscando criar um ambiente mais seguro e inclusivo para todas as mulheres que desejam explorar o Brasil em suas viagens solo.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Burned area estimates are an essential component of cropland management systems, inventory-based fire emission calculations, and air quality models, and any inaccuracies in these estimates propagate into the final outputs and decision-making process. While satellite-based global burned area and fire emission datasets (e.g., GFED, FireCCI51, and MCD64A1) are frequently cited in the scientific literature and are employed by a range of users from atmospheric and carbon modelers to policy-makers, they are generally not optimized for cropland burning – a quintessential small-fire type. Here we describe a new dataset (GloCAB; global cropland area burned) which represents the first attempt at a global cropland-focused burned area product. The GloCAB dataset provides global, monthly cropland burned area at 0.25∘ spatial resolution from July 2002 to December 2020. Crop-specific burned area conversion factors for several widespread burnable crops (winter wheat, spring wheat, maize, rice, and sugarcane) were calculated from extensively mapped cropland reference regions spanning 191 560 fields over 5 different countries. We found global annual cropland burned area (2003–2020) ranged between 64 Mha (2018) and 102 Mha (2008) with an average of 81 Mha using our lower-bound estimates, which are substantially higher than the annual average of 32 Mha in the MCD64A1 C6 product. Region-specific trend analysis found some areas with significant increasing trends (northwest India), while the heterogeneity of many other regions showed no burned area trends. The GloCAB product is freely accessible at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7860452 (Hall et al., 2023).

When preparing Wells, the technology of pumping the produced water into the well is used to maintain pressure.from the point of view of Occupational geology, all waters in oil and gas fields are divided into different categories. Own waters, or otherwise residual waters, are pressurized waters that form in the oil and gas reservoir. This type of reservoir water is the main type of groundwater. To maintain the pressure in the oil and gas reservoir, natural (fresh or weakly mineralized) and flowing(drainage) waters, mainly in the reservoir (85%), fresh ( 10 %) and Storm (5 %) waters, can be pumped. More than 1 billion m3 of water flows into the layer, including 700-750 million m3 of fresh water. Field location projects should take into account the fact that in parallel with the growth of oil production in oil production wells, there is an increase in waterlogging, therefore, the water supply system should be designed and built taking into account the 100% utilization of all professional wastewater from Field oil treatment plants in the reservoir pressure maintenance system (CPF). The pumped water must be in harmony with the layer. The presence of mechanical impurities is sometimes associated with a violation of water stability. This can be a consequence of irreversible chemical reactions, accompanied by the ingress of solid salts from saturated solutions.

The purpose of this case study was to understand how attending an undergraduate academic conference contributes to a student’s sense of belonging, not only within their institution but also in the larger academic community. This research was informed by the literature on club participation in conferences and faculty/student connections. Through in-depth interviews with three community college students and observational data collected throughout a four-day conference, their engagement with each other and with students from other colleges was explored. The findings include the faculty’s role as a catalyst for student involvement, the growth of within-group dynamics, increased student appreciation for their college, and increased involvement of students in the academic community.
Developing student leader emotional and social communication skills
Authors:   Claremon McKenna College, Riggio Ronald
Published: February 2024

While improving ability to communicate effectively is a given for developing student leadership potential, there are very few systematic frameworks to guide communication skill improvement. Using a model of emotional and social skills derived from research in interpersonal and emotional/nonverbal communication, tools and strategies for both assessing possession of complex and sophisticated social/communication skills and their development are discussed. This well-researched model breaks down complex communication into well-defined skills that underlie the more abstract leadership competencies of emotional and social intelligences. It provides a foundation for enhancing the emotional and social skills of students that lead them to be more effective in positions of leadership, and in social interactions more generally. Specific strategies for communication skill development are suggested, as well as discussion of formal guides and resources to aid in student leadership development.
Postgraduate education methodology for foreign language teachers' assessment competence development in higher military educational institutions
Authors: Hryshchuk Yuliia
Published: February 2024

Ukraine's tendency to achieve compatibility with the standards of NATO member states, in particular as a result of Russian aggression against Ukraine, raises the issue of developing the diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions. After all, the ability of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions to effectively assess the levels of foreign language communicative competence of military personnel allows them to respond promptly to problematic issues in their language training and change training strategies following the needs of the Armed Forces. Therefore, the study aims to reveal the essence of the methodology of adaptive development of foreign language teachers' diagnostic competence in the system of postgraduate education. To achieve this goal, several theoretical (analysis, synthesis, systematisation of scientific psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature) and empirical (observation, comparison, description) methods were used. Adaptive learning technologies are proposed, which allow studying the educational material with the help of adaptive algorithms for each student, according to knowledge, skills, and personal learning needs, i.e., through the adaptive presentation of the educational material of the author's remote special course. The stages of implementation of the author's methodology for adaptive development of diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions are highlighted. The specifics of the methodology of adaptive development of diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers are revealed, considering their diagnostic activities in the system of military education. The authors' developed methodology for the adaptive development of diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions contributes to the actualisation, systematisation and deepening of their theoretical diagnostic knowledge, and improvement of practical diagnostic skills and abilities that form the basis for the development of their diagnostic competence. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying its results to improve the qualifications of foreign language teachers at higher military educational institutions
Spillover effects of volatility between the Chinese stock market and selected emerging economies in the middle east: A conditional correlation analysis with portfolio optimization perspective
Authors: Zarezade Roghaye , Ghousi Rouzbeh , Mohammadi Emran
Published: February 2024

In recent years, the rapid transmission of information and interconnectedness of global financial markets have amplified the convergence and influence among them. Consequently, the occurrence of spillover effects in one market can significantly impact other markets. Accurately identifying and understanding these spillover effects is crucial for effectively managing and controlling market fluctuations. This research aims to measure and analyze the spillover effects between China's stock market and selected emerging economies in the Middle East, with a focus on exploring diversification opportunities. The analysis encompasses three distinct time periods, including the overall period from May 1, 2005, to May 31, 2023. The sub-periods consist of the first sub-period from May 1, 2005, to October 31, 2009, and the second sub-period from December 1, 2010, to May 31, 2023. Multivariate Generalized Heterogeneous Autoregression (MGARCH) is employed in this study to examine the spillover effects between China's economy and the emerging economies under consideration. The Granger causality analysis reveals a unidirectional causality running from the Chinese stock market to Jordan, as well as from the UAE to China throughout the entire observation period. However, no spillover effects are found between China and Saudi Arabia in either direction during any of the periods. Notably, a two-way causality is detected between the Chinese and UAE markets in the second sub-period. Furthermore, MGARCH results indicate no spillover effects from China to the emerging economies during the overall period, first sub-period, or second sub-period. The findings of this research offer valuable insights for investment portfolio managers in the Chinese economy, who may consider the examined emerging economies as potential destinations for risk diversification.

Dünyaya stratejik açıdan yön veren ülkeler incelendiğinde, gıda ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasında kendine yeter olma amacıyla birlikte gelişmiş tarım sektörüne sahip ülkelerin dünyadaki tarımsal üretimde karar verici olmak konusunda da kararlı oldukları anlaşılmaktadır. İnsanlığın devamının yanında daha sağlıklı toplum için böylesine önemli bir sektörün gelişimi ve sürdürebilirliği gelişmiş ülkelerde rastgele olmamış ve sektör kendi haline bırakılmamıştır. Tarımsal üretimde belirli kalitenin korunmasının yanında üretimin artırılması için öncelikle teknoloji kullanımının iyileştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bunun sağlanabilmesi için bu alanda yetişmiş yüksek eğitim düzeyine sahip insan gücü gerekmekte olup, yetişmiş yüksek eğitimli insan gücünü yetiştirebilmek için ise kaliteli eğitim kurumlarının kurulması gerekmektedir. Tarımsal ürünler ve ürün kalitesi için belirlenen hedeflere ulaşılabilmesi için akademik bilgi birikimi ve bu birikimin sahaya yansıtılabilmesi de önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de 1846 yılında resmi olarak başlayan tarımsal eğitimin tarihi incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Aim: Еvaluation of the species characteristics of subgingival biofilm microbial associations during treatment of children with plaque-induced gingivitis aged 10-14 years. Materials and methods: The subject of the study were 34 children with plaque-induced gingivitis. Three samples of subgingival biofilm are taken per patient: 1st sample - at the first visit; 2nd sample - two weeks later; 3rd the sample - one month later. Five teeth per child are selected from which a sample is taken for PCR testing for 9 control strains of subgingival microorganisms (A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, T. denticola, T. forsythia, P. intermedia, P. micros, F. nuleatum, E. nodatum, C. gingivalis). Results: C. gingivalis (green complex) is isolated in all examined children before the start of treatment and is indispensably observed in microbial associations with P. intermedia (orange complex). In other cases, associations with 7-8 microorganisms are observed and in a more complex composition. One month after the start of treatment, no periodontopathogens or only C. gingivallis as a single microorganism was is isolated in more than 55% of the samples examined. Microbial associations are predominantly 2 to 4 microorganisms.

Published: February 2024

Medical radiation physics supports medical diagnostic and treatment process based on the use of ionizing radiation in radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, radiation diagnostics and radiation safety of patients and personnel. However, the successful implementation of this process requires close interaction of specialists in all the above areas. The basis of such interaction is the unification of the terminology and concepts used at various stages of the diagnostic and treatment process. The article presents a glossary on quality assurance of external radiation therapy which contains the most commonly used terms in this field and explanations for each of them. The glossary is intended for use both in professional education, including postgraduate education, and for medical physicists and radiation oncologists working in radiological medical organizations.
“Te cuida”

Published: February 2024

O presente artigo visa a refletir sobre a atuação do estado do Rio Grande do Sul em face da pandemia de COVID-19. Como particularidade metodológica e analítica, buscou-se compreender a reprodução da lógica neoliberal por parte do governo do RS, através da análise temática das lives de combate à pandemia da Covid-19, protagonizadas pelo então Governador Eduardo Leite. Por tratar-se de um período de crise sanitária, o Estado esteve à frente de uma conjuntura de tensão político-econômica – momentos críticos (cf. BOLTANSKI; THÉVENOT, 1999) –, revelando, portanto, a gramática moral (BOLTANSKI; THEVÉNOT, 1999) que norteou a gestão do governador na pandemia, apontando a incorporação de princípios que buscaram enfatizar a eficiência (sem desperdício orçamentário para a saúde), o foco na manutenção das atividades econômicas (política das bandeiras), que caracterizam mecanismos de “dominação gestionária” (BOLTANSKI, 2013), marcada pela tentativa de despolitizar a pandemia e moldada por valores individualizantes e empresariais.

The contamination of mycotoxin-producing fungi during cocoa fermentation is a major concern of cocoa bean quality. This research aimed to investigate the effect of indigenous lactic acid bacteria starter culture, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum HL-15, on the fungi population and the quality of cocoa beans. Fermentation of cocoa beans was carried out by four treatments, namely, fermentation without starter culture in the used box, fermentation with starter culture in the used box, fermentation without starter culture in the new box, and fermentation with starter culture in the new box. The population dynamics of yeast, lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and fungi during fermentation were evaluated. The addition of L. plantarum subsp. plantarum HL-15 ensured the rise of temperature in the fermentation. There were changes in the growth pattern of these microorganisms during fermentation as the effect of starter culture addition. The addition of L. plantarum subsp. plantarum HL-15 effectively inhibited fungi growth. Fermentation using starter culture in newly made boxes was the most effective method to inhibit fungi growth and improve cocoa bean quality. Fermented cocoa beans produced by this method can adhere to the requirements of first-grade quality cocoa beans based on the Indonesian National Standard.
La construcción educomunicativa virtual en tiempos de pandemia: el caso de las carreras Ciencias de la Educación y Comunicación, Universidad Mayor de San Andrés
Authors: Ordoñez Nuñez Klondy Giovanna
Published: February 2024

La disrupción de la pandemia causó diferentes efectos en todos los sectores; uno de esos efectos se centra en los procesos educomunicativos, donde la emergencia obligó a docentes y estudiantes a migrar de lo presencial a lo virtual. El estudio se realizó con un enfoque mixto cuali-cuantitativo, en las carreras de ciencias de la educación y ciencias de la comunicación de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, en La Paz, Bolivia. La virtualización profundizó la brecha digital. Un 10 % de los alumnos abandonaron los estudios y algunos de los que continúan carecen de dispositivos adecuados y conexiones estables para la educación online. Se presentan también problemas de alfabetismo digital, tanto en los migrantes digitales como en los nativos; los docentes reconocen la necesidad de una mayor capacitación. En las dos carreras, la brecha intergeneracional-pedagógica se expresa en que el modelo prevaleciente da prioridad al manejo de contenidos y no al proceso educomunicativo.
L’uomo creato ad immagine di Dio e ricreato attraverso la kenosi del Figlio
Authors: Gradinaru Tarciziu
Published: February 2024

Sacred Scripture is the main advocate and defender of human dignity. Man’s dignity derives precisely from the fact that a ‘piece’ of God has been placed in him, the ‘image and likeness’ of God has been impregnated in him (Gen 1,26-27). Sin comes between man and God, depriving man of the glory he should have had in God’s company. Through kenosis, the Logos takes on human nature with which he performs the work of salvation so that man sees in the glorified Son the archetype according to which he was created. Christ incarnate and glorified has recreated man, has deified him. The kenosis of the eternal Logos materialised in the incarnation was not only a way through which man was able to see the perfect prototype after which he was created, but also became a model to be followed in living life on this earth.
Identification et dosage du Deltaméthrine dans les moustiquaires imprégnées d’insecticide par la Chromatographie Liquide à Haute Performance au Laboratoire national de la santé à Bamako
Authors: Diallo Tidiane , Al Et.
Published: February 2024

Objectif : Contribuer au contrôle de qualité des moustiquaires imprégnées d’insecticides par la technique de la Chromatographie liquide à haute performance pour assurer leur efficacité dans la prévention du paludisme au Mali.

Matériel et Méthodes : les échantillons étaient constitués de moustiquaires achetées ou obtenues gratuitement. L’échantillonnage a consisté à une coupure aléatoire de petits morceaux sur les cinq côtés de la moustiquaire puis une coupure d’un carré modèle de 10*10 cm. Au total quatre moustiquaires ont fait l’objet d’analyse. Le matériel utilisé pour l’analyse des moustiquaires était la Chromatographie liquide haute performance (HPLC) couplée à un Détecteur à Barrette de Diode. La méthode d’analyse était basée sur une extraction solide/liquide avec comme solvant d’extraction l’Acétone pendant une période de deux heures puis évaporer à sec l’extrait. L’extrait sec a été récupéré avec 1 mL d’Acétonitrile pour analyse.

Résultats : Tous les échantillons étaient à base de polyester, sauf un qui était en polyéthylène et un poids variant entre 452,3 et 651,0 grammes. Les conditions chromatographiques utilisées ont permis d’identifier et doser la Deltaméthrine dans les échantillons de moustiquaires à un temps de rétention de 3,27 minutes. Les différentes gammes de concentrations étaient proportionnelles à la surface des pics obtenues. Un échantillon sur quatre était sous dosé donc non conforme.

Conclusion : La méthode ainsi mise en place permettra le dosage de la Deltaméthrine dans les différents matériaux de moustiquaires afin d’assurer la surveillance de la qualité des moustiquaires au Mali.
Le diabète au cours de l’infection par le VIH: a propos de 22cas
Authors: Rania Rania , Al Et.
Published: February 2024

Objectif : décrire le profil épidémio-clinique des patients diabétique séropositifs au VIH.

Matériels et méthodes : Etude rétrospective entre janvier 2007 et  novembre 2020 de 22 patients ayant une association VIH-diabète et suivi au service des maladies infectieuses au CHU Mohamed VI Marrakech.

Résultats : Sur 22 patients ayant une association VIH-diabète : L’âge moyen était de  45,1ans [31-70ans], Le diabète a été diagnostiqué avant l’infection à VIH dans72.7 % des cas, en même temps que l’infection à VIH dans9.09 % des cas, et au cours de suivi de l’infection à VIH dans 18.18 % des cas. Les signes cliniques chez les patients où le diagnostic du diabète au début ou au cours  de suivi de l’infection à VIH étaient : L’asthénie dans 33.3 % des cas, l’amaigrissement dans 16.66 % des cas, et 50 % des patients étaient  asymptomatiques. Les glycémies moyennes des patients variaient entre 1.58 et 3.86 g/l. Les patients dont la découverte du diabète a été faite durant le suivi de l’infection à VIH étaient tous sous association de deux inhibiteurs nucléotidiques de la transcriptase inverse (INTI) avec un inhibiteur non nucléotidique de la transcriptase inverse (INNTI) dans 75% des cas ou à un inhibiteur de la protéase (IP) dans 25% des cas.

Conclusion : L’infection à VIH peut jouer un rôle dans l’augmentation du nombre de personnes souffrant de diabète, ou au moins de tolérance altérée au glucose, en raison des effets secondaires liés à certains antirétroviraux (ARV). Par conséquent, il faut choisir les ARV les moins toxiques et dépister tôt les anomalies métaboliques. La prise en charge devrait être multidisciplinaire.
Néphrite tubulo-interstitielle à Candida albicans compliquée d’insuffisance rénale aigüe à propos d’un cas au service de médecine du CHU de Kati
Authors: Cisse H , Al Et.
Published: February 2024

La néphrite tubulo-interstitielle (NTI) est un groupe de maladies inflammatoires à médiation immunitaire qui implique l’interstitium et les tubules rénaux, elle conduit à une insuffisance rénale et a de multiples causes : induites par les médicaments ; idiopathiques ; génétiques ; dysimmunitaires ; infectieuses (virales, bactériennes, parasitaires ou fongiques). Nous décrivons ici une étiologie fongique, alors que la fréquence de la néphrite interstitielle de 4,23% a été retrouvée en hospitalisation dans le service de néphrologie au Mali, aucune donnée disponible n’implique le rôle de candida dans la survenue de NTI. Il s’agit d’un patient de 66 ans, hypertendu connu mal suivi qui a présenté une infection urinaire avec isolement de Candida spp. Le diagnostic de néphrite tubulo- interstitielle à Candida associée à une insuffisance rénale aigue avait été retenu après avis des néphrologues. Le traitement par du fluconazole et la réhydration ont entrainé la stérilisation des urines et la normalisation du bilan biologique
