Published: December 2024

Several Ficus species showed potential antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant, wound
healing,
anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antidiarrheal, and hepatoprotective
properties. Hence, this study examined the nutrachemical composition, antioxidant, and
antimicrobial activity of two commonly consumed Ficus fruits (Ficus racemosa and Ficus
hispida), from southeast Bangladesh, considering the growing demand for natural food
supplements and preservatives. Proximate analysis revealed that F. hispida had
significantly higher moisture (85.73±0.75%), crude fiber (26.53±0.15%), and inorganic
content (8.87±0.10%). Conversely, F. racemosa contained higher fat (9.30±0.02%) and
carbohydrate (48.57±0.13%) levels, while protein content was similar between the two
species. Mineral analysis revealed that F. racemosa was rich in sodium, potassium and
copper whereas F. hispida had higher calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron; zinc
content was comparable in both species. Phytochemical screening indicated the presence
of tannins and alkaloids in both fruits, though saponins were highly present in F.
racemosa but absent in F. hispida. The total phenol content (mg GAE/g) and flavonoid
content (mg QE/g) were notably higher in F. racemosa (10.42±0.03 and 20.05±0.15,
respectively) compared with F. hispida (5.74±0.06 and 15.97±0.75, respectively).
Antioxidant capacity, measured by DPPH scavenging activity, was significantly stronger
in F. racemosa (IC₅₀ = 16.80±1.08) than in F. hispida (IC₅₀ = 35.83±1.75). Multivariate
analysis revealed a distinct separation between the two species based on principal
components, highlighting F. racemosa as rich in antioxidants, while F. hispida had higher
mineral content. However, extracts from both fruits showed no inhibition zones against
foodborne pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. These findings
suggested that Ficus fruits may serve as natural sources of essential nutrients to address
malnutrition and oxidative stress-related diseases.
From Spaces to Minds

Published: December 2024

New Zealand’s eating disorder recovery facilities urgently require architectural reform, as spatial and design inefficiencies continue to compromise patient well-being. With rising hospital admissions and prolonged delays in specialist care, the current built environments reinforce stigma and isolation, obstructing effective treatment (Wilson, 2022). This thesis explores how architecture can positively impact recovery by reshaping spaces to support dignity, mental health, and therapeutic healing. Drawing on successful international models and integrating ‘homely’ elements, this study highlights how familiar, comforting environments can reduce stigma and enhance recovery outcomes. In examining the link between recovery and design, this thesis seeks to answer: How can we utilise architecture to successfully integrate a specialist eating disorder recovery facility into our community?
Telling Stories with Moths: Metamorphosis, Symbiosis and Loss in Art and the Anthropocene
Authors:   , Van Seventer Hannah
Published: December 2024

This thesis is a project in speculative art history. In response to growing cross-disciplinary debates around our current ecological crisis, extinction events and the term “Anthropocene”, as well as calls for imaginative ways to respond to an increasingly damaged planet, this thesis proposes writing with art and moths as a mode to find new connections between species and new ways to engage with art through ecology and storytelling. Thinking alongside the three primary stages of a moth’s life cycle, or ‘habits’, this thesis offers a critical art history that begins with the biology and life history of moths. Since artists engage with moth habits in divergent and various ways, this thesis analyses several artworks through both visual and speculative threads. Together, the works collectively propose methods of art making in the Anthropocene that relies on interdisciplinary and interspecies sentiment.  Three moth species and three moth habits guide the thesis across three chapters. These are: the Bullseye Moth Automeris liberia; the Yucca Moth Tegeticula yuccasella; and Buller’s Moth Aoraia mairi. Chapter One focuses on metamorphosis. It considers the ways that moths are imagined in seventeenth century Europe and in contemporary multidisciplinary art practice. In the works of Dutch naturalist illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian, moths are studied and imaged as part of a changing environment and entangled with other insects and plants. Chapter Two turns to the symbiosis of between Yucca Moth and Yucca plant Yucca schidigera in the Mojave Desert. It examines the work of contemporary artists Mire Lee,  Tomás Saraceno, Anicka Yi and Pierre Huyghe. In these works, moths are engaged as figurations, real and imagined. Chapter Three analyses the one remaining image of Aoraia mairi known as Buller’s Moth to consider loss and extinction with works by Stan Brakhage and Hany Armanious.

Moths are intimately tied to speculative practices in art and writing and are relevant to contemporary efforts to attune to the lives of other species. Importantly, through the various and layered artists discussed in this thesis, it is clear that moths are not only symbolic figures, but also collaborating partners in art practice. In order to stay close to the lives of moths, this thesis adopts a creative and speculative mode of research. Finally, this thesis suggests that telling stories alongside moths is a method to imagine and uncover the various ways moths inform art practice in the Anthropocene.

Objective. To evaluate the results of endoscopic argon plasma coagulation to stop bleeding from the pancreatogastroanastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Materials and methods. During the period 2019–2023, 48 pancreaticoduodenectomies were performed. At the stage of reconstruction, pancreatogastrostomy was used for the first time as an alternative to pancreatic jejunostomy. This type of reconstruction has a number of technical and anatomical advantages.
Results. The incidence of postoperative bleeding was 12.5% (n=6). In all observations, intraluminal bleeding from the pancreatic stump into the gastric lumen was noted, which was not associated with the development of a pancreatic fistula. The use of argon plasma coagulation provided a one–stage bleeding control without the need for relaparotomy.
Conclusions. Our clinical experience has shown encouraging immediate results. Argon plasma coagulation can be successfully used for bleeding from the pancreatic stump into the gastric lumen without the risk of anastomotic failure.
Reconstruction of Maqashid Shari'ah Perspective Muhammad Thahir Ibn 'Assyria: Efforts to Re-Discuss Sharia with Reality
Authors: Muhammad Aziz  , Sholikah  , Abdul Hadi  , Abdul Ghofur
Published: December 2024

The spirit and essence of everything that is prescribed by Islam, is basically between bringing benefit to humans and preventing danger to humans. So, it is important to know other than undergoing all the shari'a that Allah entrusts to his servant, namely to know and determine the ins and outs of the intent and purpose of the preservation of a certain law. In this study, put a big response to the hard efforts of Ibn 'Asyur in reformulating universal legal concepts which were then called the science of maqashid al-sharia. This is important, because approaching the universality of the Shari'a is one of the vital elves that is needed, especially in the era of globalization like today which presupposes a fast-paced change and was not taken into account before. According to Ibn 'Asyur, the main reason for the decline of fiqh is that the scholars are ignorant of the study of maqashid, and this will lead us to castrate the values of the Shari'a itself. In line with Ibn 'Asyur, Alal al-Fasi, one of the experts in contemporary maqashid al-sharia also views that the main condition for success in dialoguing fiqh with contemporary reality today is the massive response of scholars on the study of maqashid. This is where the function and role of maqashid al-shari'ah find its momentum. Its elastic character, across space and time is expected to be able to dialectically with problems that continue to emerge.
Repetition of the Marriage Contract (Shihhah) in the Rifaiyah’s Tradition
Authors: Muftadin Dahrul
Published: December 2024

In the tradition of Jama'ah Rifaiyah there is the practice of repeating the marriage contract called Shihhah. This tradition emerged from the understanding of the central figure of the Rifaiyah congregation, Kiai Ahmad Rifai, who categorized some Muslims who supported the Dutch colonial government into the category of wicked believers, including the Penghulu (Chieftain). Penghulu who are under the auspices of the colonial government are considered no longer have a "adil/fair" nature. This has resulted in any marriage process led by the government head being considered invalid, because the chieftain is not a fair believer who is required to lead the marriage process. This tradition lasted until the post-independence period. The purpose of this study is to find out the practice of shihhah from the colonial period until now and what factors are behind it. Field research with a descriptive-analytical approach found that the practice of shihhah among the Rifaiyah congregation experienced a shift. The practice of shihhah is still carried out by some Rifaiyah congregations even though the Indonesian government is no longer a colonial government. Some Rifaiyah congregations still practice shihhah on the grounds of a clash with a religious figure. However, many Rifaiyah congregations no longer practice shihhah.

Authors: Nurmatzoda (Nurmatov) D. , Rahmatzoda (Rahmatov) M. , Abdullozoda (Abdullaev) S.
Published: December 2024

On the basis of the results obtained using the methods of X-ray fluorescence analysis, the pollution levels of heavy metals and arsenic in the territory of Northern Tajikistan in the period from 2020 to 2022 were estimated. Pollution coefficients and complex pollution for the studied heavy metals and arsenic, as well as overall pollution indices in administrative centres or other settlements in the territories were calculated, taking into account elements belonging to 1, 2 and 4 hazard classes. The results of the calculations revealed slight contamination of the territory with the elements of the hazard classes 1and 4. Under the influence of technogenic load, elements of the hazard class 1 (zinc, arsenic and lead) accumulate to the greatest extent in the upper soil horizons of the studied areas. The content of the hazard class 2 elements (chromium, nickel and cobalt) is comparable to a relative abundance of the elements or lower it, except for copper, the average content of which is 2.6 times higher than the Clarke numbers. The obtained data were compared with the established standard for MPCs for heavy metals and arsenic, as well as with the results of the assessment of technogenic pollution calculated by the traditional method. The excess of the MPC for lead according to average values was recorded near the Digmai tailings dump (2.93 times) and Asht district (1.2 times); the highest average concentration of zinc in Konibodom district exceeds its MPC in soil by 11.4 times. It was revealed that the excess of the MPC for elements of the hazard class 1 (Zn, Pb and As) was mainly registered in the surface horizon, i.e., contamination was observed only in the upper layer of soil. The comparison of the concentrations of the studied elements with their proved that the average content of Zn in the upper soil horizons was 2.82 times higher than the Clarke number, As – 10 times, Pb – 1.8 times, Cu – 2.5 times. The contents of the remaining heavy metals under study in soil samples are within the relative abundance of the elements or below.

Published: December 2024

The article gives the results of studying the spatial distribution of stands of Taxus baccata L., growing in the Mountain Crimea and detailed analysis of four significant populations located at varying altitudinal levels: the western location at an altitude of 220-440 m – “Belbek Yew Grove”, near Maloye Sadovoye village; the southern location at an altitude of 560-800 m in the Yalta Mountain-Forest Nature Reserve – “Tuzler”, on the way from Uchan-Su to Ai-Petri ; the eastern location at an altitude of 860-960 m in the valley of the Su-At River; the northern location at an altitude of 1040-1200 m. – “Yew Gorge”, on the Lower Plateau of Chatyr-Dagh. The studies allowed specifying the boundaries and total area of the natural population of 427 ha. Vital status, growth and development features of T. baccata are assessed, facilitating the identification of the most favorable altitudinal range for the growth of this rare species. It is shown that on average about 20 % of all individuals belong to the second category and are weakened trees. These individuals exhibit a reduction in crown density of about 30 % due to premature fall or underdevelopment of needles, thinning of the skeletal structure of the crown, presence of dying branches and various kinds of damage (leaf-eating, diseases). The population in the Su-At River valley at an altitude of 860–960 m, where more than 50 % of individuals are affected, stands out most clearly from the overall statistics. It is revealed that the optimal altitudinal range for growth and development of T. baccata in the conditions of Crimean Mountain is not clearly expressed, as currently yew is subjected to a large number of limiting factors, including natural and anthropogenic impacts.
INFLUENCE OF POLYMER WASTES ON THE HOMEOSTATIC MECHANISMS OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS
Authors: Hayrullina L. , Mamaeva N.
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the problems of pollution of aquatic ecosystems by polymer wastes. The purpose of the research is to study the statistics of polymer waste generation in the global community, in individual countries and their impact on the homeostatic mechanisms of aquatic ecosystems. According to the conducted research, the amount of plastic produced increases every ten years, and from 1950 to 1960 and from 1960 to 1970, respectively; about 2 times from 1970 to 1980; about 1.7 times every ten years from 1980 to 2000; approximately 1.4 times every ten years from 2000 to 2010 and 2010 to 2019, respectively. The trend line has an «upward» character, and a high approximation coefficient makes it possible to make a forecast about an increase in the amount of plastic waste for the coming decades. The research reveals that the amount of plastic waste, both in the oceans, rivers and lakes, has been increasing for almost 20 years. Plastics are part of complex biogeochemical cycles: through living organisms that absorb plastics. They enter the human body via food chains. Consequently, pollution of aquatic ecosystems results in disruption of homeostatic processes that cause changes in the environment. The solution to the problem of pollution of aquatic ecosystems is the legal regulation of the collection of polymer waste and the development of promising technologies for their processing, i.e., secondary polymer raw materials should be converted into new products. This will solve environmental safety issues related to pollution of aquatic ecosystems by polymer waste.

Investigation of the effect of turbulence models for CFD simulations of dynamic airfoils
Authors: Keskin Sinem , Genç Mustafa Serdar
Published: December 2024

This study presents a numerical investigation into the aerodynamic behavior of a pitching NACA 0012 airfoil under dynamic conditions. The analysis was carried out using a sliding mesh method in Fluent, incorporating sinusoidal pitching motion with various turbulence models, including SST, SST with intermittency, and Transition SST. The effects of different turbulence models on the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil at various angles of attack (AoA) were studied, focusing on the pressure coefficient (Cp), flow structure, and laminar separation bubble (LSB) formation. Additionally, the results for pitch-up and pitch-down motions were compared to evaluate the hysteresis effects and dynamic flow behaviors. The study found that the SST model exhibited inviscid flow characteristics, while the SST with intermittency and Transition SST models captured the boundary layer behavior more effectively, including the separation and reattachment processes. Significant differences were observed in the Cp distribution and turbulence characteristics, with pitch-down motion resulting in higher Cp values and more complex flow phenomena. The results contribute to the understanding of aerodynamic behavior during dynamic motions, offering insights into the role of turbulence models on airfoil performance.
STRENGTHENING ENERGY SECURITY: INDIA’S GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
Authors: Chaudhary Pramod Kumar
Published: December 2024

In the face of rising energy demands, environment related issues and growth of its economy, the renewable energy is at the core of India’s energy security. In India fossil fuels have become too unsustainable, India has gone to embrace renewable energy as an option that is not only viable but necessary. However ambitious domestic policies are in place, such as the National Solar Mission, with a target of 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030. Yet India’s journey to renewable energy is one that it cannot embark on alone, global partnerships are essential in catalyzing this revolution. For example, India has taken advantage of its place as a world class leader in renewable energy with the creation of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) to advance the adoption of solar energy through collaboration with over 100 member countries. Technology transfer, investments and collaborative research on hydrogen and offshore wind have been catalyzed through bilateral engagements with the US, Germany and Japan. In addition to this, India’s renewable energy diplomacy has also been bolstered through regional and South- South collaborations, with partnerships to African and SAARC countries. India’s role in global energy governance has been amplified through its participation on multilateral forums such as the G20 and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). On the other hand, domestic expansion of renewable energy is abetted by public-private partnerships, along with modern technological integration. Credentials are challenged through financing and grid integration, yet India is actively pursuing renewable energy diplomacy, a key symbol of its devotion to global sustainability and securing a healthy energy future for all. Domestic priorities of India are being aligned with international collaboration creating a future where inclusive, resilient and sustainable energy systems address national and global needs.

The paper explores the common defence strategies that includeincludees denial (the refusal to accept the upsetting reality), displacement (the directing of anger toward people or things that feel unthreatening) and sublimation (and distracting of one’s thoughts by engaging in physical or entertainment activity) and analyze the fissures and nuances present in the contemporary feminist studies that talk about power and equality to be shared between male and female and fails to actually acknowledge the violence and trauma inflicted to the females and which goes unnoticed as they find no seat but marginalized positions and find no recognition or place.
Assessing the regional potential for industrial symbiosis
Authors: Chernova Olga A.
Published: December 2024

The ever-increasing negative impact of economic growth on the environment dictates the need to introduce business models of the circular economy based on the principles of industrial symbiosis. However, for the development of industrial symbiosis, it is necessary not only to understand its essence and possible benefits, but also to assess the readiness of a regional economy to implement symbiotic interactions. The purpose of the article is to develop tools for assessing the regional potential for industrial symbiosis. The research methodology is based on the concept of industrial symbiosis and Kleiner’s systems paradigm. The study applies index and matrix methods. The evidence is the data on the regions of the Southern Federal District for 2021–2022 taken from the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources and the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. The paper presents an original toolkit for assessing the regional potential for industrial symbiosis, which includes a system of indicators for evaluating its main components and a typology of regions according to the level of potential for industrial symbiosis. According to the findings, the Rostov and Astrakhan oblasts, as well as the Republic of Crimea hold the greatest potential for the development of symbiotic interactions. The study advances theoretical contributions in the field of circular economy in terms of understanding the factors and conditions necessary for the implementation of industrial symbiosis processes in a region. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using its results to devise methodological approaches to the design of industrial symbiosis projects as an element of the regional socioeconomic development strategies.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. In folk medicine in many countries of the world, the roots of field steelweed (Ononis arvensis L.), a genus of plants of the legume fami-ly (Fabaceae or Leguminosae) have long been used as a medicine. Modern research is aimed at determining the content of biologically active com-pounds (BACs) in closely related steelhead species. However, studies to determine the key BAS and compare their content in the grass and roots of wild steelhead (Ononis arvensis L.) and intermediate steelhead (Ononis intermedia L.), growing in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, have not yet been carried out. In ethnomedicine, these types of steelweed are widely used in the form of tinctures, infusions and lotions obtained from the underground part of the plant. At the same time, the above-ground part of steelweed, which is an unclaimed waste during the harvesting of roots, according to the literature, is richer in BAS than the underground part. The purpose of the work is a comparative study of tinctures from wild steelweed species. Material and methods. Samples of tinctures made by maceration from the grass and roots of wild species of field steelweed (Ononis arvensis L.) and intermediate steelgrass (Ononis intermedia L.), growing in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, were studied. Tinctures were prepared in a ratio of 1:5 using 70% ethyl alcohol as an extractant. A comparison of the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the tincture samples was carried out in terms of dry residue, ethyl alcohol content, microbiological purity, and the quantitative content of BAS. Results. The presence of total isoflavonoids (in terms of ononine), onocerin, total flavonoids (in terms of rutin), total phenolcarboxylic acids, and tan-nins was confirmed in the tincture samples. The studied samples of tinctures contain a qualitatively similar BAS complex. The total amount of extrac-tives (dry residue) in tinctures is from 2.02% to 2.32%. The content of the sum of isoflavonoids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenylcarboxylic acids is significantly higher in tinctures from the roots of both types of steelhead than in tinctures from the grass of the field steelhead and intermediate. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate the need for further research on the presence of individual BAS in preparations, belonging to classes such as isoflavonoids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenylcarboxylic acids.

Introduction. Plant-derived compounds with antimicrobial activity (phytobiotics) are a relevant alternative to traditional antibiotics in livestock and poul-try farming. One of the promising phytobiotics are alkylresorcinols - a large group of phenolic lipids, among which 4-hexylresorcinol has the most pro-nounced antimicrobial activity. Goal. To assess the possibility of 4-hexylresorcinol accumulation in muscle tissue of broiler chickens that received this compound as an additive to the basic diet, with an evaluation of the effect of its residual concentrations on microbiological indicators of meat quality. Material and Methods. Chemically synthesized 4-hexylresorcinol (CAS 136-77-6) with a purity of 98% was used in the study. Experimental groups of Arbor Acres broiler chickens received this compound as an additive to the basic diet for 35 days at doses of 62.5, 125 and 250 mg per 1 kg of feed. The quantitative determination of 4-hexylresorcinol in the muscle tissue of broiler chickens was carried out by high-performance chromatography with triple-quadrupole mass spectrometric detection on a liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer LCMS-8050 (Shimadzu Corporation, Japan). Microbial contamina-tion of muscle tissue immediately after slaughter and after 5 days of storage at +4°C was analyzed in accordance with national quality standards. Results. Validation of an HPLC-MS/MS method for the quantitative determination of 4-hexylresorcinol in broiler chicken muscle tissue established a linear range of 50 - 1000 ng/g with deviations no more than ±15% between the nominal and experimentally detected concentrations of this compound. Analy-sis of biosamples from broiler chickens fed with 4-hexylresorcinol supplement showed the possibility of its accumulation in the range from 50 to 200 ng per 1 gram of muscle tissue with maximum values of 124.4-194.5 ng/g in the experimental group receiving this compound at a dose of 125 mg per 1 kg of feed. The presence of 4-hexylresorcinol in broiler chicken muscles resulted in suppression of mesophilic aerobic and facultative-anaerobic microor-ganisms in post-slaughter products, which was most pronounced in samples with the maximum accumulation of this compound. Conclusion. The study results indicate the possibility of 4-hexylresorcinol accumulation in poultry products due to its use as a feed supplement. This observation corresponds to the inclusion of 4-hexylresorcinol in the EAEU Customs Union list of chemical compounds permitted for use in the food indus-try, but requires further study of its migration along food chains, taking into account the multiple variants of biological activity of alkylresorcinols.

Food waste and microbial contamination have led to an annual increase in foodborne diseases. One potential solution is the application of an edible spray coating (ESC) as a bioplastic, incorporating antibacterial agents. The spray technique is considered most effective due to its ease of application and controllable thickness. This research evaluates carbon black (CB) derived from coconut husk waste as an antibacterial agent in ESC. Coconut husk was selected because it contains up to 54% lignin. The ESC was formulated using a mixture of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), k-carrageenan, water hyacinth cellulose, and glycerol. Additionally, other antibacterial agents such as silver and chitosan were included as positive controls. The CB was produced through pyrolysis of coconut husk at 700 °C, with nitrogen gas added at a heating rate of 5 °C/min. The water hyacinth cellulose was extracted using a chemical method. In this study, ten ESC formulations were tested with varying concentrations of silver, chitosan, and CB. The resulting ESC viscosities ranged from 16.8 to 46.9 cP. Antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus demonstrated that ESC with 1.5% w/v CB exhibited antibacterial activity with inhibition zones of (2.2±0.3) mm and (32±3) mm, respectively. The application of ESC on cherry tomatoes and strawberries showed that samples containing CB experienced a lower weight loss over time. This indicates the potential of CB in preventing microbial contamination.

Increased public interest in red rice and black rice has triggered breeders to develop superior varieties that have high yields and are tolerant of the threat of drought. Genetic parameters are the basis needed for breeding to develop superior varieties. This research aims to examine the genetic parameters of pigmented rice genotypes grown upland. The experiment was carried out in June – September 2024 experimentally in the field using a gogo system, namely in Tampak Siring Village, Batukliang, Central Lombok, NTB. The design used was a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 21 treatments, 10 red rice lines, 4 black rice lines, 4 parent lines, and 2 comparison varieties. Obtained 63 experimental units by repeating each treatment three times. The data collected was then analyzed using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test with a Randomized Block Design (RAK) model at a confidence level of 95% (α=5%), genetic diversity coefficient (KKG) formula, heritability and genotypic correlation. Referring to the analysis that has been carried out, the findings of the coefficient of genetic diversity and heritability of the number of full grains, weight of 100 grains, yield per plot of red rice and black rice lines are in the high category. The number of productive tillers, weight of 100 grains and weight of grain per hill had a significant positive correlation with the yield per plot, while the number of empty grain parameters had a significant negative correlation with the yield per plot.
