Authors: Valdes-Devesa Victoria , Sanz-Rosa David , J Israel Thuissard-Vasallo , Andreu-Vázquez Cristina , Cuesta Ricardo Sainz de la
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To examine xenoestrogen concentration differences
between women with leiomyomas or endometriosis and control women, and to
study the relationship between the clinical and sociodemographic
characteristics of these patients and their xenoestrogen levels.
Design: Prospective case-control study Setting:
Quironsalud Madrid University Hospital, Spain. Sample: Cases
included 117 patients who underwent surgery for uterine leiomyomas
(74/117), endometriosis (21/117), or both (22/117). One hundred and four
healthy women who underwent surgical procedures for other reasons
comprised the control group. Methods: Xenoestrogen
concentration was determined in the omental fat of all patients. Using a
questionnaire and reviewing the patient´s medical records, the
investigators collected sociodemographic data and other relevant
variables. Main outcome measures: Xenoestrogen concentration
(TEXB-α) in omental fat. Results: A significant majority of the
study participants (68.8%) had detectable levels of xenoestrogens. We
found no association between TEXB-α in omental fat and the presence of
myomas or endometriosis. In the case group, women working in Madrid
Community exhibited, on average, 2.83 Eeq pM/g higher levels of TEXB-α
compared to those working in other areas (p=0.046). Women who referred
use of estrogen-containing hormonal contraceptives had, on average, 3.02
Eeq pM/g higher levels of TEXB-α compared to those who had never used
them (p=0.022). Conclusions: This study found no association
between omental xenoestrogen levels and leiomyomas or endometriosis.
However, their presence in most participants and their association with
highly polluted areas emphasizes the importance of limiting
environmental exposure to these substances. We also identified an
association between hormonal contraceptives use and xenoestrogen
concentration.

Published: June 2023

Ecological restoration projects have significantly contributed to the
global increase in vegetation cover and the reduction of soil erosion.
However, the impact of lithology in the karst ecosystem on changes in
soil erosion characteristics during vegetation restoration remains
unclear. This study aims to investigate the soil erosion characteristics
of hillslopes under different vegetation restoration strategies in the
fragile karst areas composed of limestone and dolomite. The restoration
strategies mainly include arbor forest (AF), orchard (OC), and grassland
(GL), with cropland (CR) as the control. Soil physical-chemical
properties and soil erodibility factors (K , K
were used to evaluate soil erosion
characteristics. The results showed that, in comparison to cropland,
both limestone and dolomite in restoration strategies exhibited lower
soil bulk density (BD) and soil erodibility K values, as well as higher
capillary porosity (CP) and soil water-stable aggregates (WSA). However,
the K value of limestone (17.9%) was significantly higher compared to
dolomite. Additionally, limestone exhibited significant changes (
p < 0.05) in soil properties, such as BD, organic
matter content (OMC), CP, and WSA. Conversely, dolomite did not show
significant changes in these soil properties. These findings indicate
that vegetation restoration was effective in improving soil structure
and erosion resistance, and dolomite exhibit higher stability compared
to limestone. Through redundancy analysis, it was observed that soil
texture, represented by silt content, was the primary parameter
indicating changes in soil erosion characteristics following vegetation
modification. The silt content explained 84.4% and 78.2% of the
variation in K values for limestone and dolomite, respectively.
Moreover, the changes in K values for dolomite were also controlled by
OMC, whereas limestone was solely controlled by soil texture. These
findings suggest that the interactions between soil properties
contribute to the improvement of stability in dolomite. Accordingly,
vegetation restoration enhances soil erosion resistance; however, the
effectiveness of restoration was controlled by the lithology in the
southwestern karst region.
Hypsometrical distribution of settlements as a factor of regional differentiation of the gender-age structure of the population of West Morava Valley
Authors: Milosavljevic Sasa , Penjisevic Ivana , Lukic Tamara
Published: June 2023

The paper analysed some aspects of changes in the biological structures of
the population in 230 settlements of West Morava Valley, from the position
of the type of settlement and the hypsometric zone to which they belong.
Bearing in mind that there are significant height differences in the relief
of West Morava Valley (144-1,321 m above sea level), its breakdown caused
the regional differentiation of settlements according to the size and
structures of the population living in them. The statistical analysis was
performed in two-period sections (1971 and 2011). The reason for this is
that the 1970s were the most dynamic socio-economic transformation of the
studied region, caused by the impact of industrialization and urbanization.
The results obtained during the research show that the aging of the
population in West Morava Valley has reached such a level that it represents
a first-class problem. In the analysed forty-year period, the participation
of the old population (60 and over) doubled (from 12.8% to 25.2%), while
the aging index increased even three times (from 0.42 to 1.27). The
population of West Morava Valley is in the stage of the deepest demographic
age, with the difference that rural settlements at higher altitudes age much
faster. The differences in the gender structure of the population between
the urban and rural settlements of the region are not so drastically
expressed, but in both categories the dominance of the female contingent is
evident.

Published: June 2023

Background and purpose: In existing studies on fasttrack unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), the majority of surgeries are medial. There are substantial differences between lateral and medial UKA, which is why outcomes cannot automatically be compared. To gain information on the feasibility and safety of fast-track protocols in lateral UKAs, we investigated length of stay (LOS) and early complications after lateral UKA, performed using a fast-track protocol in well-established fast-track centers.Patients and methods: We retrospectively evaluated prospectively collected data on patients undergoing lateral UKA in a fast-track setup from 2010 to 2018 at 7 Danish fast-track centers. Data on patient characteristics, LOS, complications, reoperations, and revisions was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Safety and feasibility were defined as complication and reoperation rates within 90 days comparable to non-fast track lateral UKA or fast-track medial UKA.Results: We included 170 of patients with a mean age of 66 (SD 12) years. Median LOS was 1 day (interquartile range 1–1), which was unchanged from 2012–2018. 18% were discharged on the day of surgery. Within 90 days, 7 patients experienced medical complications and 5 patients experienced surgical complications. 3 patients underwent reoperation, 2 were soft tissue revisions and the third was removal of an exostosis due to catching of the patella. 1 patient was revised due to a bearing dislocation.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that lateral UKA in a fast-track setting is feasible and safe.

Authors: Georgiadi Alexander G. , Milyukova Irina P. , Borodin Oleg O. , Gusarov Artyom V.
Published: June 2023

The Don River Long near Razdorskaya Village had long phases (lasting 33–86 years) of increased/decreased naturalized annual and seasonal water flow, and their properties for 1891–2019 were identified. Long-term changes in the annual and snow-melt flood flow occurred in the opposite phase relative to changes in the winter and summer-autumn flow. Annual hydrographs in the phase of decreased flow were characterized by an increase in water discharge during the low-water seasons of the year, but a noticeable decrease in daily flood water discharge and maximum water discharge. The share of high-water years (years with a flow exceedance probability equal to or less than 25%) in the phase of increased flow is significantly higher than the share of low-water years (years with a flow exceedance probability equal to or more than 75%). And on the contrary. At the same time the cumulative share of low- and high-water years remains relatively stable.  The total changes in the annual and seasonal flow, caused by both anthropogenic and climatic factors, throughout the entire period of modern global warming (since 1989) consisted in a decrease of the annual and snow-melt flood flow and an increase of flow values during low-water seasons.

The article presents data on the composition and seasonal dynamics of airborne pollen in Cherepovets and Vologda. The study was carried out from April 10 to September 30, 2014 and from April 16 to August 31, 2015 in Cherepovets, and from June 3 to September 30, 2019 in Vologda. Pollen data were obtained from the Durham gravimetric samplers. Samples were collected daily. Twenty-one types of pollen have been identified, ten of which are the most common allergenic types (Alnus, Artemisia, Betula, Fraxinus, Salix, Plantago, Poaceae, Quercus, Rumex, Urtica), which account for more than 50% of all pollen that has been registered. The article contains pollen calendars showing two peaks of pollen grain quantity: spring (from last decade of April to May), summer (from the end of June to the middle of July). Betula (30%) and Asteraceae (28%) pollen dominate in the pollen spectrum. Pinus (20%), Plantago (6%) and Poaceae (5%) also play an important role in the regional spectrum. The results show the presence of allergenic pollen from different taxa throughout the study. The proportion of damaged pollen grains is approximately 2%, which corresponds to the norm in natural population in normal condition. This data can become the basis for developing recommendations for reducing the level of pollinosis in the Vologda Region.

Published: June 2023

The history of the early Middle Pleistocene small mammal faunas of Eastern Europe is very complicated. The early Middle Pleistocene which spanned from the Brunhes-Matuyama transition (772.9 ka BP, within MIS 19) till the beginning of the Likhvin Interglacial (424 ka BP, MIS 11) includes a number of interglacials and glaciations. Rodent species of the Tiraspolian faunal assemblage were found in the Chaudian fluvial deposits of the Cape Pekla section (northern coast of the Taman Peninsula). The evolutional level of the Pekla rodents are similar to those from the stratotype section of the Tiraspolian faunal assemblage in the Kolkotova Balka in Moldova (MIS 17) , which includes Eolagurus sp., Mimomys savini, Microtus (Terricola) arvalidens, Microtus (Alexandromys) ex gr. oeconomus and other species. The Pekla fauna also resembles the rodent fauna from famous English West Runton Freshwater Bed locality formed during the Cromerian Interglacial II and some other East and West European faunas. In the current work the entire loess-paleosol sequence of the Pekla section was described with five paleosols from the Middle to the Late Pleistocene. The sequence reflects the complexity of climatic fluctuations from the early Middle Pleistocene to the Holocene.

Authors: Carenko Irina Vladimirovna
Published: June 2023

The state and prospects of national and regional economies are influenced by a variety of external and internal factors, each of which to a certain extent affects the effectiveness of their development, the current structure and the state in the future. One of the key factors that has a direct connection with all subsystems of the regional development system is the state of the regional labor market. In the modern conditions of the digital transformation of the economy, researchers have begun to pay more and more attention to the person and his labor resource as the main factor of modern development. The socio-digital environment contributes to the development of requirements for the labor characteristics of the population, forming the labor resources necessary for the economy from it. At the same time, the contribution of labor resources has become fundamentally assessed by the value of the human capital of society, which, according to many scientists and practitioners, has become not only comparable, but also exceeds the value of the capital of fixed assets of developed countries. The most significant quantitative and qualitative characteristics influencing the current state of Perm Krai labor market are identified and analyzed: migration processes, the average income level of the population in the region, the number of enterprises and organizations, the number of employed and unemployed, the ratio of officially registered unemployed and employed, and as a consequence, the change in the structure of the total labor force. The specific features of Perm Krai labor market against the background of the digital transformation of the economy have been analyzed, the analysis results helped to prognose the trends in the short and long-term periods of development. The necessity of improving public administration on the regional labor market was confirmed, contributing to the creation of new jobs and productive employment.

Informal relations on labor market: causes and directions of legalization
Authors: Kutaev Shikhragim Kutaevich
Published: June 2023

The article considers the problem of informal labor relations in the labor market, shadow employment, employment in the informal sector in the regions with low macroeconomic development indicators. There are discussed the various points of view of specialists, a review of the sources of special literature, regarding the content of the definition of informal (shadow) employment. The analysis of indicators characterizing the state of the labor market, incomes of the population and wages, information on part-time employment of citizens of the North Caucasus federal district in general and of the Republic of Dagestan, in particular, was carried out. The main factors that led to the emergence and sustainable functioning of the shadow economy, accumulating a large number of the unemployed population of the macroregion, are outlined. The directions, the implementation of which will reduce the level of the informal economy, neutralize the consequences of its existence, as well as benchmarks that allow assessing the level of the informally employed population, are identified. A positive impetus in this matter can be given by the observance of the fundamental principle of achieving a balance of interests of the main actors of the process under consideration, since the formation and development of informal economic relations, and their scale is, in a way, a response to formal rules. Conclusions are drawn that the processes of reducing the shadow economy and informal relations in the social and labor sphere should take place at the institutional level. It was noted that attention should be focused on the development of mechanisms to reduce informal employment and shadow manifestations in the economic sphere, since employment in the informal sector of the economy is not a violation and is regulated by the current regulatory framework.

Published: June 2023

The article gives an assessment of social regional development for the regions of the Central Federal District in the pandemic period (2019-2021). It has been stated that the number of publications assessing the impact of COVID-19 on the economy of regions significantly exceeds the number of scientific articles assessing the impact on the social sphere. The methods devoted to determining the level of social development are analyzed, their main shortcomings are noted, and ways to eliminate them are proposed. The conclusion is made about the expediency of determining the level of social development of the regions of the Russian Federation and the standard of living of the population by calculating the aggregated indicator. The formula for its calculation is proposed, its components are considered. The basic principles of the organization of the study are described, their differences from those existing in other methods are noted. For the regions of the Central Federal District, numerical values of private indicators of social orientation and their “weight” coefficients used in the formula for calculating the generalized indicator of the standard of living are determined. An aggregated indicator of the standard of living of the population comparable to the level of social development is calculated, its growth rate in three time periods is analyzed: 2019-2020, 2020-2021 and 2019-2021. There is a significant negative impact of pandemic processes on the general state of the social sphere for all regions of this district. Based on the numerical data obtained, the conclusions are drawn about the maximum decrease in the rate of growth of the standard of living in the most successful regions in terms of its absolute indicators (Moscow and the Moscow region). It has been proved that none of the subjects of the Central Federal District under consideration returned to the pre-pandemic level of social development.

Abstract

This study explored students' views on applying the independent curriculum in natural science subject. The method used was descriptive qualitative. The sample was fourth-grade students of Islamic Elementary School (IES) Salsabila Yogyakarta, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis used an interactive model, namely the reduction stages, data presentation, and conclusion. The findings of this study indicated that the fourth-grade students of IES Salsabila Yogyakarta responded positively to natural science learning, combined with social studies, to become Natural and Social Science (NSS). NSS gives students holistic knowledge so they get complete learning, hoping to make themselves individuals with a stand-in dealing with a problem. Therefore, it is expected that the application of the independent curriculum in natural science subject can be facilitated with media that support learning. Socialization or technical guidance for educators is needed in manufacturing innovative media to make this happen.

INVESTIGATING IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT'S CONTRIBUTING FACTORS FOR LEARNERS' METACOGNITIVE STRATEGIES IN AN INDONESIAN ENGLISH VILLAGE
Authors: Pratiwi Widya Rizky
Published: June 2023

This paper investigated the immersive environment's contributing factors in developing learners' metacognitive learning strategies in an Indonesian English village. This study applied qualitative design through an ethnographic approach involving 14 participants from six English-speaking courses in “Kampung Inggris Pare,” Indonesia. Data were collected from observation, interviews, and photographs, then analyzed in six stages: preparing raw data, organizing data for analysis, reading all the data, coding data, communicating the theme/description, and interpreting the meaning. The results indicated that the English village accommodates establishing the Authentic Immersion Environment, English Camps, and exciting classroom activities.

Several studies revealed that mathematics problems in textbooks, which were expected to encourage students’ reasoning and problem-solving skills, were still lacking. This study aimed to compare Pythagorean problems in Indonesian and Singaporean mathematics textbooks based on the cognitive level of Bloom's taxonomy, representation form, contextual feature, and response type. The data were collected through documentation and observation. The research results indicated that on the cognitive level, the C3-C4 level dominated the Pythagorean problems in Indonesian and Singaporean textbooks. Regarding representation form, Pythagorean problems in Indonesian textbooks used visual and combined forms, while Singaporean textbooks applied mostly combined forms. In contextual feature and response type, Pythagorean problems in Indonesian and Singaporean textbooks used non-application and closed-ended problems. Therefore, the result of this study is expected to contribute to the improvement of high-quality mathematics textbooks, which can compete internationally to support students’ learning.

The Magnetic Lead Screw, has become increasingly important in recent years due to its various industrial and research applications. This master’s thesis focuses on analyzing the force of a Magnetic Lead Screw, with primary reference to the work of PhD Jiabin Wang and colleagues. Initially, the three-dimensional Magnetic Lead Screw model, which has a helical arrangement of permanent magnets, was simplified to an axisymmetric model based on rings of permanent magnets. Magnetostatic analysis of the Magnetic Lead Screw was then performed using the Altair Flux® software, the results was a maximum force of F = 195.75N, with validation of the results obtained from PhD Wang’s work, with tolerable errors of 3% and 7% in the analytical and numerical solutions, respectively. Next, magnetodynamic analysis of the Magnetic Lead Screw was performed to study its transient behavior in cosimulation with Matlab/Simulinkformed using the Altair Flux® software. After obtaining satisfactory results, the Magnetic Lead Screw was coupled with a onedegree- of-freedom mechanical system, and subsequently extended to a two-degree-of-freedom mechanical system, to analyze its performance, stability, and force developed. When a force of Finput = 100N was introduced, the system responded to with a magnetic force of Fmag = 103.44 N and a displacement δ = 0.406 mm. This analysis aims to contribute to knowledge of the Magnetic Lead Screw’s behavior and its potential application in various areas of electromagnetic engineering.

A pesar del poco tiempo en el que se lleva estudiando, se han hecho grandes hallazgos sobre su regulación y sus implicaciones fisiopatológicas tanto en cáncer como en procesos inflamatorios. En este artículo se abordarán dichas cuestiones.
Del genoma humano a su pangenoma pasando por los consorcios ENCODE y T2T
Authors: Claros M. Gonzalo
Published: June 2023

Llevamos 21 años explotando un genoma humano quimérico lleno de huecos. Afortunadamente, sabemos que hay mucho más que genes codificantes gracias a que el consorcio ENCODE lo ha escudriñado a fondo. Entre los hallazgos más inesperados están que más del 75 % del genoma se transcribe, que  cada gen sufre 6,3 tipos de ayuste alternativo y fabrica 4 transcritos distintos, que tenemos muchísimas regiones reguladoras repartidas por el genoma y, lo más sorprendente de todo, que desde el punto de vista transcripcional solo tenemos cinco tipos de células diferentes. En estos 21 años no solo hemos mejorado aquella primera secuencia y conocemos mejor para qué sirven las secuencias genómicas, sino que también hemos pasado de una secuenciación indiscriminada preamplificada de lecturas cortas (75 a 600 nt) a una secuenciación molécula a molécula que proporciona miles de bases contiguas. Gracias a ello se acaba de publicar el primer genoma humano completo (salvo el cromosoma Y), no quimérico y sin huecos, que está abriendo nuevas puertas a la genómica y la medicina, incluida la obtención del pangenoma humano que recoja toda la diversidad genética de nuestra especie.
Computing analytic Bayes factors from summary statistics in repeated-measures designs
Authors: Faulkenberry Thomas J. , Brennan Keelyn B.
Published: June 2023

Bayes factors are an increasingly popular tool for indexing evidence from experiments. For two competing population models, the Bayes factor reflects the relative likelihood of observing some data under one model compared to the other. Computing Bayes factors can be difficult, requiring one to integrate the product of the likelihood and a prior distribution on the population parameter(s) for both competing models. Previous work has obviated this difficulty for independent-groups designs. In this paper, we develop a new analytic formula for computing Bayes factors directly from minimal summary statistics in repeated-measures designs. This work is an improvement on previous methods for computing Bayes factors from summary statistics (e.g., the BIC method), which produce Bayes factors that violate the Sellke upper bound of evidence for smaller sample sizes. The new approach taken in this paper requires knowing only the F -statistic and degrees of freedom, both of which are commonly reported in most empirical work. In addition to providing computational examples, we report a simulation study that benchmarks the new formula against other methods for computing Bayes factors in repeated-measures designs. Our new method provides an easy way for researchers to compute Bayes factors directly from a minimal set of summary statistics, allowing users to index the evidential value of their own data, as well as data reported in published studies.
D-optimal chemical balance weighing designs with positively correlated errors: part III
Authors: Graczyk Małgorzata , Ceranka Bronisław
Published: June 2023

In this paper we consider issues related to the determination of chemical balance weighing designs satisfying the criterion of D-optimality. This problem is considered under the assumption that the measurements are equally positively correlated and they have the same variances. We answer the question of how to add four runs to a regular D-optimal chemical balance weighing design in order to obtain a highly D-efficient design. The problem formulated in this way leads to an extension of results contained in a previous paper in Biometrical Letters.
What Scene, What’s Seen, What’s in A… Word: Thoughts in and on Artists’ Writings
Authors: Frelik Edyta
Published: June 2023

While the humanities have become a multimodal domain in which visual culture is immanent and various new cross-disciplinary perspectives and theories are being employed to investigate the relationship between artistic and literary forms of representation, artists’ writings remain understudied and underappreciated. Art/literature studies often proceed by pairing a specific work of art with a particular literary text or an aesthetic style with a poetics or a narrative technique, but they rarely consider situations when both elements of the chosen pair come from the same source — an artist-writer. But questions related to whether and how an artist’s ‘natural’ visual disposition may impact on how she/he approaches and handles verbal language and vice versa need to be asked to illuminate what is still a shadow zone in word and image studies. Citing examples of major representatives of American modernism in art and literature, the essay addresses some of the problematic issues involved in studying verbal expression by visual artists and the cogency of posited correlations between the painterly and writerly intuitions and competences at play in artworks and texts produced by artist-writers.
