The assessment of anthropogenically determined dynamics of entomocomplexes, including a number of economically important and biocenotically significant groups of insects inhabiting open biocenoses of the Pripyat floodplain (Belarusian Polesie) has been given. Some patterns in the formation of hortobiont arthropods complexes in natural and transformedhabitats have been established. There have been registered the representatives of 2 classes -insects (Insecta) and arachnids (Arachnoidea) - in the studied territory. The insects are represented by 9 orders (and 22 families): dragonflies (Odonata), orthopterans (Orthoptera), homopterans (Homoptera), semi-coleopterans (Hemiptera), coleopterans (Coleoptera), neuropterans (Neuroptera), hymenopterans (Hymenoptera), dipterans (Diptera) and lepidopterans (Lepidoptera). The most widespread representatives of 6 orders of insects are Diptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Homoptera, Hemiptera. Dipterans predominate in all biotopes, their proportion is up to 40 % of all insects. Orthopterans dominate by biomass everywhere. The structure of entomocomplexes in the studied biocenoses has been established: qualitative composition and quantitative characteristics (abundance and biomass). It is shown that the number of Coleoptera is reduced by almost 2.5 times on pastures compared to the control, while for Hemiptera and Orthoptera, on the contrary, increased. Hygrophiles are replaced by more meso- and xerophilous species. A high number of white-banded filly Chorthippus albomarginatus (De Geer, 1773), a well-known pest of farmland, has been recorded in agrocenoses (an order of magnitude higher than in natural meadows). The disappearance of grasshoppers (indicators of reserved state) from communities has been noted as the anthropogenic load on biogeocenoses increases. The tendency of changes in the structural and functional organization of entomocomplexes has been revealed, it manifests itself in the change of species differing in hygropreferendum. Thus, hygrophilous stenobionts are replaced by mesophilic and mesoxerophilic species and elements of steppe (Stenobothrus lineatus), semi-desert (Gomphocerippus rufus) and even desert (Bryodemella tuberculata) fauna. The bioindicational significance of individual groups and species of insects, demonstrated on orthopterans, has been established.

The results of studying the 137Cs contamination of English oak (Quercus robur L.) trunks in high-aged oak forests in the most radioactive polluted part of the Polesye State Radiation-Ecological Reserve territory located in the evacuation (exclusion) zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant are presented. The features of modern surface contamination soil by 137Cs in oak forest stands have been established, the factors that caused them have been identified: removal of research objects from the release site and conditions for deposition of radioactive fallout, as well as vertical redistribution of radionuclide in the soil over the time since the accident. The density of 137Cs soil contamination varies by types of oak forest. The current indicators of 137Cs accumulation in wood, bark and oak trunks, their changes by forest types, the relationship with the density of soil pollution and the distance to the disaster site are determined. A 2-3-fold excess of 137Cs oak bark contamination was found in comparison with wood, which is due to their morpho-physiological characteristics. Over the past 25 years, the wood and bark proportions of the relative contributions to the specific activity of 137Cs of the oak trunks have changed significantly. The decrease in the contribution of the bark to the specific activity of 137Cs in the trunk is due to a slowdown in the entry of radionuclide into it. The 137Cs distribution in oak wood by classes of growth and development of trees by Craft is shown. It was found that the average values of the radionuclide specific activity in standing and lying deadwood are 25-28 % lower than in the wood of living trees. The tendency of decreasing of 137Cs concentration in oak wood from the periphery to the center of the trunk has been confirmed. As of 2021, according to the sanitary standard of the Republic of Belarus for the content of 137Cs 1480 Bq kg-1, harvesting of oak wood could be allowed in 84 % of the surveyed stands, oak trunks with bark - in 72 %. The standard of 740 Bq kg-1 corresponded to oak wood in bark and without bark in 32 % of forest stands.

The article presents the results of designing a computer vision system using deep learning to control supervised systems. The results are based on the use of convolutional neural network and aimed at solving problems, both directly and indirectly related to the solution of environmental problems. The principle is described and the basic model of using computer vision technology in actual projects is shown: 1) social distancing norm compliance in COVID pandemic; 2) non-contact manipulator to control technical objects. The COVID-19 Social Distancing Project was developed as a means of automatic control of social distance in crowded places. The article describes the principle of operation of the detector, based on computer vision technology, and makes it possible to monitor compliance with the norm of physical distance. To work the detector requires a computer with the necessary software and the results of images from a video camera. The operation of the detector has been tested under real conditions; the test results are satisfactory. The error in determining the distance did not exceed 9 %. It is assumed that such a device can be used by various services, including sanitary services, to monitor the compliance of the population with the recommendations of the health care system regarding the rules of distancing. The «Contactless Manipulator» project was designed for remote control of objects when working in hard-to-reach and hazardous places (nuclear power plants, toxic waste processing), as well as for people with limited physical abilities. Three functions of “Noncontact manipulator” were implemented in the work - tracking of key points of hand, interception of computer mouse manipulator actions, and control of additional computer functions. The work of the manipulator was also tested in real conditions, the degree of reliability of the results is high. In the future, the manipulator is supposed to be used in a mobile hardware-software complex designed for image processing with subsequent data analysis. The expected fields of practical application of the complex are ecological monitoring, investigation of soil erosion processes, observation of vegetation changes, analysis of plant diseases, waste sorting, and human ecology. The resources of modern information technologies, implemented through the presented projects, demonstrate the possibility of replacing the production of some material devices with their virtual counterparts, safe in terms of ecology.

Published: June 2023

Dermatophytosis can be caused on by the invasion and infection of keratinized tissues in people and animals via a group of filamentous fungus known as dermatophytes. About a quarter of the world’s population is affected by it which is one of the most prevalent superficial fungal diseases. Some of these fungi have the capacity to develop complex 3-D biofilm structures, or “biofilm,” which are distinguished by the creation of extracellular polymeric molecules and a heightened drug resistance. The assessment of biofilm now relies on a variety of different methods, which frequently results in various evaluations of the microbial strains’ capacity to create biofilms. It has only recently been discovered the architecture and growth features of dermatophytic biofilms (Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp.). Additionally, the structural complexity and lack of research on filamentous fungal biofilms make therapy challenging. Therefore, there is a demand for newer antifungals or methods for treating resistant dermatophytosis to offer an efficient, original, and safe substitute to current treatments. Therefore, this review highlighted on the significance, characterization and evaluation of biofilm that produced from dermatophytes.

Published: June 2023

É inegável que a atividade de mineração no Brasil tenha grande importância econômica, contudo, esse tipo de extrativismo é um processo de grande impacto ambiental. Em janeiro de 2019, a barragem B1 de contenção de rejeitos da Mina Córrego do Feijão em Brumadinho-MG se rompeu liberando cerca de 12 milhões de m3 de rejeito, ficando conhecido como um dos maiores desastres ambientais e de perdas humanas do Brasil. Fez-se então necessário planos para restaurar os ambientes naturais com intuito de garantir o retorno dos serviços ecossistêmicos do habitat de forma sustentável. A mineradora Vale retirou os rejeitos da área afetada, aplicando um projeto piloto de reabilitação denominado Marco Zero, desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a estrutura e funcionalidade da comunidade microbiana do solo como parte do monitoramento das atividades de recuperação ambiental nas áreas do Marco Zero. Para isso, foi realizado sequenciamento de 16S rRNA bacteriano para caracterizar a comunidade microbiana, bem como predizer as funções com ênfase nos ciclos biogeoquímicos destes no solo, foi realizado também a quantificação da comunidade microbiana e das comunidades que potencialmente participam do ciclo do nitrogênio. Os resultados observados mostraram que a área em reabilitação afetada com o rejeito de mineração apresentou os indices de diversidade sem diferença estatistica com a área de referência Entretanto, a PcoA revelou que a área em reabilitação é diferente (p > 0,05) da área referência e a análise LEfSe (Linear discriminant analysis effect size) mostrou um maior número de grupos bioindicadores relacionados a remoção de metais pesados na área restaurada, assim como funções relacionadas a degradação de hidrocarbonetos e compostos aromáticos. A quantificação da comunidade microbiana avaliadas pelo gene rRNA 16S e das populações que potencialmente partcipam do ciclo do nitrogênio avaliadas pelos genes amoA e narG não apresentam um padrão claro de diferenciação entre as áreas em reabilitação e as referências, contudo, a presença desses genes foi um indicativo da funcionalidade do ciclo do N nestes ambientes. Ao analisar os pontos relativos à área de reabilitação - pontos de coleta perto da calha do ribeirão (PT1), e os pontos próximos à floresta (PT3) - foi possivel observar na análise de PcoA e nos índices de diversidade que eles divergiram entre si no período seco, onde PT1 apresentou menores indíces de diversidade, e no período chuvoso, essa diferença diminuiu, indicando a umidade como um potencial fator de alteração da comunidade microbiana nas áreas em reabilitação. Isto é um indicativo que o monitoramento da área é de extrema importância para garantir o sucesso do programa piloto de reabilitação, para que ela exiba uma comunidade cada vez mais próxima a uma comunidade microbiana que consegue exercer seus serviços ecossistêmicos. Palavras-chave: Marco Zero. RNAr 16S. Ribeirão Ferro-Carvão.
Idosos institucionalizados do Brasil no contexto pandêmico: análise das principais implicações na perspectiva da revisão integrativa da literatura

Published: June 2023

O aumento do índice de pessoas idosas no mundo vem ocasionando grandes mudanças na sociedade, dentre elas, associadas ao quesito cuidado, tendo em vista que, ao longo do processo de envelhecimento, o ser humano vai se tornando cada vez mais sensível, derivado da redução de sua capacidade funcional. Com o advento da crise pandêmica, oriunda do Covid-19, muitos idosos vivenciaram períodos de maior vulnerabilidade, principalmente aqueles residentes em Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPIs), em função do distanciamento físico, que tem gerado diversas sensações e percepções desses sujeitos sociais. Deste modo, esta dissertação objetiva, especificamente, investigar evidências trazidas nas literaturas científicas brasileiras sobre a realidade dos idosos residentes em ILPIs, no contexto pandêmico. Para tanto, foi realizada a revisão integrativa nas bases de dados B.V.S. (Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde), Google Acadêmico e Periódico Capes, publicados entre 2020 a 2022, sendo inclusos apenas as publicações originais e disponíveis em português. Do total de estudos levantados (n=672), 16 integraram a revisão.

The Role of Genes and Proteins in Neurons Functioning
Authors: Krishna Arjun
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the role of genes and proteins in neurons functioning.

Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: The study revealed that genes and proteins play pivotal roles in the functioning of neurons, contributing to the complex processes involved in neural development, communication, and plasticity. Genes provide the instructions for the production of proteins, which act as the building blocks and functional molecules within cells. The interplay between genes and proteins is essential for various neuronal processes, including synaptic transmission, neural circuit formation, and the modulation of neuronal activity.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was anchored on the theory of synaptic plasticity which was proposed by Donald Hebb and the theory of neurotransmission which was pioneered by Otto Loewi. The study recommends that policies should be developed to promote genetic screening and testing for neurological disorders, allowing for early interventions and improved outcomes.

The Long-Term Consequences of Childhood Maltreatment for Adult Survivors: A chronic price to pay
Authors: Guajardo Antonia , Tadros Eman
Published: June 2023

Child abuse reports are made every ten seconds in the United States, a country with one of the poorest records among industrialized nations, reports an average of five children dying daily due to abuse and neglect in 2019. This literature review furnishes a synopsis and essential analysis of child maltreatment, including abuse and neglect, and examines its numerous processes and complex effects on individuals, families, and society. Childhood maltreatment can include physical, sexual, and emotional can lead to Adverse Childhood Effects (ACE). These effects may have a detrimental impact on one's development, social skills, immediate and long-term physical well-being, mental health, and mortality. Although parents and caregivers determine their children's rearing practice, there must be procedures in place for medical professionals and schools to intervene when childhood maltreatment occurs. Moreover, the definition of abuse and state laws vary; therefore, there is a necessity for universal designations as to what entails maltreatment and abuse, and deterrents must be put in place federally to reduce childhood maltreatment.
Teaching Grammar at the Tertiary Level in the Context of Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Shaila , Parvin Shahriar
Published: June 2023

Experience of teaching English in Bangladesh exhibits that grammar is the least interesting learning item in classes. Students are taught fixed grammatical rules as a compulsory subject from the primary to tertiary level of education as mentioned in the syllabus. As a result, learners of English remain quite weak in grammar; they cannot use appropriate structures of grammar in spoken or written English even though they have completed English language courses at various educational institutions. The paper gives an effort to investigate the reasons for students’ failure in developing this linguistic skill of accuracy. To explore the subject matter of the study, small-scale data has been collected in the form of questionnaires and interviews both from the teachers and students of some renowned private universities in Bangladesh. The study tries to find out some probable solutions to improve the current level of learners in grammar. The study also identifies and examines that English teachers often face some challenges in teaching grammar namely lack of contextual interpretation of grammatical rules, rarely introduced new teaching methods, lack of experience, expectations of the students, lack of facilities, negative perceptions of the teaching of grammar and preparing grammar lessons. The researchers have put forward some pragmatic suggestions to overcome the existing barriers and challenges which will help the English language teacher to teach grammar according to the necessity of the students. The present study may serve as a good insight for other English lecturers and policymakers in overcoming the challenges regarding grammar teaching. The information have been collected from only a few private universities in Dhaka and Feni city. More in-depth study is essential to deal with the problems confidently.

NGO BRANDING: FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE BRAND TRUST OF GOPIO
Authors: Santhesegaran Sashidharan , Abdul Manan Kamaruzzaman
Published: June 2023

Branding enables recognition, connects people, and supports an organisation to accomplish its mission. However, many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have limited expertise, facilities and financial capacity to focus on branding and to evaluate its impact. This paper studies the branding of NGOs in Malaysia by evaluating public perception towards the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) and the factors that affect public trust in the NGO. This research engaged three variables from Aaker’s Brand Equity Theory, namely Brand Awareness, Brand Loyalty and Brand Association as independent variables while placing Brand Trust as the dependent variable. The researchers conducted a quantitative survey on members, associates and friends of GOPIO in Malaysia and analysed the data through descriptive, correlation and multiple regression methods. The research found that Brand Awareness, Brand Loyalty, Brand Association and Brand Trust have positive relationships with one another. Brand Association was the best contributor to Brand Trust and the level of trust in GOPIO was very high. The research concludes that branding is imperative for NGOs and that NGOs must connect, promote participation and build relationships with people to secure volunteers, partnerships and funds. The findings of this research shall benefit organisations and researchers in Brand Equity, Brand Trust, NGO branding and Malaysian Indian NGOs.
