Published: July 2022

One of the most promising methods for correcting refractive errors of the eye is the Contact Lenses right after the spectacles. For every change being done in the contact lens designs whether its materials or its manufacturing properties or varying the designs, patients' comfort and quality of vision has been always considered the priority. Even after numerous alterations and modifications have been done we still face a massive dropout in contact lens wearing cases every year. Surveying the various studies has shown us the major reason behind CL dropouts was primarily ocular redness, followed by burning sensation, discharge, stinging sensation, a significant drop in VA, and many as such. The purpose of this short communication is to make optometrists aware of their role in counseling and provide proper communication of contact lens teaching along with providing proper training to the patients regarding how improper handling of contact lenses is causing a major drawback to society causing a rapid increase in CL dropout cases.

Authors: D. Sanura Tamanna , Gokhale Priyanka
Published: July 2022

Recreational cycling is sort of sport that requires a decent level of endurance, and cyclists’ riding is determined by several physical abilities, in which muscular strength in upper limb is equally important as the lower limbs. While riding a bicycle, the hand grip turns out to be especially crucial not just for performance and the ability to remain upright in difficult situations and uneven surfaces but also for even moderate endurance and comfort of the rider A total of 60 recreational cyclists, 25-35 years old were included in the study. Grip strength of dominant and non-dominant hand was checked with Jamar hand held dynamometer pre cycling and was checked again after the 20km ride. Normality was checked and Dominant hand data passed the normality test thus, paired t-test was used to determine significance for (p<0.05). For Non-dominant hand readings didn’t support normality to the optimal level (p>0.05) hence non-parametric Wilcoxon signed test was used to determine significance as the samples were dependent. Mann-Whitney test was used to determine significance in Dominant and Non-Dominant hand pre cycling activity as well as comparison of Dominant and Non-Dominant hand post cycling activity, as data was not normally distributed and the samples were independent. (p>0.05). Results showed that there is significant difference in dominant as well as non-dominant hand pre and post riding activity with post cycling grip strength being reduced in both Dominant and Non-Dominant hand than the pre-cycling grip strength. Also, Dominant hand grip strength was more than the non-Dominant hand in both pre and post cycling.

Direct C-H-sulfonylation of pyridine and related 6-membered N-heteroaromatics
Authors: Manolikakes Georg
Published: July 2022

Heteroaromatic sulfones and sulfonamides constitute important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry and the development of new drugs.
Herein we describe a straightforward approach for the direct installation of sulfonyl functionalities onto 6-ring N-heteroaromatics via the direct functionalization of C-H-bonds.
This novel method is based on preactivation of the N-heterocycle with trifle anhydride, followed by a base-mediated addition of sulfinate nucleophile and a subsequent elimination-rearomatization.
Using this straightforward process, various N-heteroaromatics could be converted directly into the desired sulfonylated products in moderate to high yields. By exploiting either sulfur dioxide or the sulfur dioxide surrogates DABSO and rongacyl, this methodology could be extended to a modular construction of the key sulfonyl functionality. Furthermore, application of this protocol to the late-stage diversification of drug-like scaffolds and natural products is demonstrated. Further studies towards a base-mediated regioselective C4-sulfonylation of pyridines are described as well.
In summary, our methods enable a a straightforward synthesis of biologically relevant sulfonylated N-heterocycles, an important motif in drug development.

Published: July 2022

According to the Federal State Statistics Service regarding respiratory diseases in Krasnoyarsk Krai, the increase in this indicator was 6% over the five years, and the increase in oncologic diseases was 4% over the same period. Polluted air is one of the leading causes of the increased incidence. The paper aims to find ways to clean indoor air using ion-electronic technology and bring the microclimate parameters to optimal values in cold and warm seasons. Experimental and theoretical studies substantiated the possibility of developing a device capable of creating and maintaining an air environment in closed premises, close in terms of indicators to the healthy air of ecologically clean regions. The device can have different performance and can be used in domestic, industrial, and public premises. Depending on the mode of operation and purpose, this device can be both stationary and mobile. Fine dust cannot be removed from the room even if the air exchange rate is increased by 200 and 400 times. It has been experimentally proven that ion-electronic technology and volatile matter of woody plants remove dust to achieve a clean room. This concept formed the basis for developing a device using nanotechnology combined with the volatile matter of woody plants. The dependences of the influence of artificial ionization of air and volatile matter of woody plants on reducing the amount of fine dust and pathogenic microflora are theoretically substantiated. The air purified in this way maintains immunity and reduces the incidence of respiratory diseases, which has been proven experimentally based on a prototype of the developed device.

The isolation of soil bacteria from various environments with exceptionally high fertility rates represents an opportunity to identify promising agents to promote agriculture production. The paper aims to study the densities of cultivable bacteria and isolate bacteria from the radish and spring wheat rhizosphere. Plants were grown in the pot experiment with virgin Chernevaya soil, which possessed extraordinary productivity, and zonal forest soil that did not demonstrate similar features. Fifty-nine bacterial isolates were purified and evaluated for their beneficial effects on the early growth of wheat. Isolates belonged to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes phyla, and the most represented genera were Pseudomonas, Streptomyces, Paenibacillus, and Methylobacterium. These dominant bacteria were used in plant inoculation studies. Strains promoted a significant increase in shoot and root length and biomass, thus they may be considered plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria [PGPR]. Regarding biotest assays, strains that displayed high plant growth-promoting capabilities [PGP] were selected for further investigation. This study contributed to bacteria isolates from a unique natural environment with biotechnological potentials in improving plant growth and showed potency to be exploited as bioinoculants.

Controlling the moisture level is especially important when irrigating various crops to obtain a resistant, stable harvest and save water resources. Over moistening of the soil adversely affects the soil structure and can lead to salinization, waterlogging, and acidification. In addition, the formation of surface water runoff from the fields causes depletion of nutrients, oxygen starvation, and, ultimately, soil degradation. The degradation of fields (areas of the field) leads to the withdrawal of the field from crop rotation (exploitation), a reduction in acreage, the need for agrotechnical measures, reclamation, and, as a result, high financial costs. Currently applied irrigation technologies lead to the withdrawal of up to 50% of irrigated land. Therefore, the technology of differentiated irrigation with constant control over the condition of the soil and plants will help eliminate these negative consequences while increasing the yield and reducing the consumption of water, electricity, and labor costs. For the implementation of this technology, sensors are needed to control the moisture and temperature of the soil at different depths and perform operational control of the water supply to the field. The implementation of a constant connection between the field and the plant with the water supply system will allow creating digital irrigation map and forming of a database about the irrigated field underlying the information and created advisory system. The system for the continuous monitoring of soil moisture and temperature at different depths is based on IT technology with data transmission via radio communication channels. It uses platforms for data transmission via such communication channels as LoRaWAN (highly economical wireless communication interface from ICBCom), GSM (Groupe Spécial Mobile - the global standard for digital mobile cellular communication), and the Internet.
ECMI Minorities Blog. Russian Migrants in Central Asia – An ambiguous Reception
Authors: Berdiqulov Aziz
Published: July 2022

One of the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the imposition of western economic sanctions on the country and further autocratization of its political system. Both factors have resulted in a significant outward migration of Russian citizens, with Central Asia being one of frequent destinations due to the geographic proximity and widespread use of Russian language. At the same time, for many Russians the region remains a terra incognita, perceived primarily through the presence of the Central Asian labour migrants. In this blog piece, ECMI Researcher Aziz Berdiqulov examines this recent phenomenon by discussing specifically the cases of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as receiving countries, through the prism of different initiatives addressing the influx, social attitudes concerning the newcomers and reactions of the Russian minorities present there. Furthermore, the author tries to assess whether the new situation has the potential for changing the hitherto pattern of relations between Russians and Central Asians.
ECMI Minorities Blog. Events in Tajikistan’s Pamir – A Vicious Cycle of Unresolved Conflicts?
Authors: Berdiqulov Aziz
Published: July 2022

In 2022, Tajikistan’s Gorno-Badakhshan Region saw several demonstrations of the non-recognised Pamiri minority. The government, unsurprisingly, reacted with force: the internet was shut down in the whole region, many local leaders were detained and persecuted. This is not the first time that confrontation between Pamiris and governmental representatives appointed by the capital Dushanbe takes place, with similar events happening in 2012, 2014, and 2021. In this blog piece ECMI Researcher Aziz Berdiqulov looks more closely at those events, puts them in a long-term perspective, and offers a possible way out of the fatal cycle of tensions.

Published: July 2022

En cuanto concepto clave en controversias sobre la sociedad digital emergente, la gobernanza algorítmica pone de manifiesto la idea de que las tecnologías digitales producen cierto ordenamiento social de una forma específica. Este artículo comienza por los orígenes del concepto y presenta diferentes perspectivas y objetos de estudio en los que la gobernanza algorítmica ha adquirido prominencia, y que van desde el sector público hasta la gestión laboral y el ordenamiento de la comunicación digital. En todos los sectores, las controversias recurrentes, como la datificación y la vigilancia, los sesgos, la agencia y la transparencia, indican que el concepto de gobernanza algorítmica nos permite incorporar a una conversación colectiva objetos de estudio y campos de investigación que no se habían relacionado hasta ahora. Los estudios de caso breves sobre políticas predictivas y moderación automatizada de contenidos muestran que la gobernanza algorítmica es múltiple, contingente y disputada. Adquiere distintas formas en distintos contextos y jurisdicciones, y está conformada por intereses, poder y resistencia.

Authors: Moreno-Garcia Elena , Garcia-Santillan Arturo , Navarrete Daniel Martinez
Published: July 2022

The financial knowledge that young people have is fundamental to their financial decision making, to guarantee their future consumption and their well-being in retirement. The study focused on analyzing the knowledge that high school students have of income, money management, savings, investment, credit and spending, and comparing if there is a difference by gender. Data from 100 high school students from Boca del Río, Veracruz were obtained using test designed by Contreras-Rodríguez, et al. The analysis seeks to determine the structure of variables that explain the knowledge that Mexican high school students have of financial topics; in addition to verifying that the variables are correlated and that the data matrix is not an identity matrix. The results show that the instrument used has a relatively low Cronbach's alpha (0.597). It was verified that the data matrix did not constitute an identity matrix, which made the data analysis possible through factorial analysis with component extraction. The two extracted factors are explained by 67% of the total variance. The ANOVA tests and the values of the F statistic with gl and its significance (0.05), as well as the Levene statistic, showed that there is no gender difference. Based on the results, strengthening financial education of students is advisable to contribute to their future inclusion in the financial system.
