Published: October 2024

The main objective of the study was to determine the impact of the use of various types of aggregates for C40/50 class concretes used in construction. As part of the research, concrete mixtures containing natural, artificial and recycled aggregates (dolomite, recycled aggregate, lightweight aggregate, basalt) were designed, as well as a reference mix. Selected characteristics of the mixtures were determined – consistency, viscosity, air content, density, as well as strength properties of concrete and frost resistance.  Endurance tests were carried out after 2 and 28 days of maturation. Tests of water absorption and depth of penetration of water under pressure were also carried out. Based on the tests carried out, it was found that concrete mixes with a density close to 2321 kg/m³ and an air content of about 2.5% can be optimal in terms of compressive strength. Mixtures with a higher air content, on the other hand, can be beneficial in conditions that require high frost resistance.

Published: October 2024

A construction site is a place where vehicular and pedestrian traffic takes place. Compliance with general health and safety regulations and principles is no longer sufficient and requires additional regulations regarding the regulations and principles applicable to the organization of road and pedestrian traffic on a given construction site. Good traffic organization improves safety and reduces the number of accidents. Roads and pedestrian paths, in addition to machines and technical equipment, storage sites for building materials and structures, networks, pipelines and installation cables, administrative, social and sanitary rooms and equipment, are the basic elements of safe development of a construction site. Development of the construction site is the initial stage of preparation for the implementation of a construction task, which plays an essential role in ensuring safety and health protection during construction works. The article characterizes the role, importance and requirements for road roads and pedestrian routes in the development of a traditional construction site.

The paper is a case study in the assessment of the technical condition of a residential building showing a significant degree of technical wear and tear, which was located in the impact zone of the road planned for expansion. Due to the commencement of works related to the expansion of the road, a doubt arose whether the road works carried out, in particular on the section along the residential building, would not cause further deterioration of its technical condition, causing a pre-failure condition, failure or leading to a construction disaster. The paper presents a detailed description of the methodology for assessing the technical condition of the residential building in question.
Assessment of Concentration Levels and Associated Health Risks of Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury in Selected Green Leafy Vegetables Irrigated by Morogoro River Using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Authors: Telekia Fadhili Ally
Published: October 2024

Morogoro River is among the tributaries of Ngerengere River, providing water for some domestic and agricultural activities to the community of Morogoro region. However, as it flows through Morogoro town, the river is increasingly subjected to pollution from various sources and contaminates the water. The contamination is likely due to a combination of industrial activities, agricultural runoff, domestic waste, and natural geological sources. This study aims to investigate the levels of toxic elements, lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and Mercury (Hg) in green leafy vegetables grown near and irrigated by water from Morogoro River by using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Samples of three categories were collected, first category samples were collected before industrial areas, second category samples were collected after industrial effluent were discharged to the river and the third category are samples collected away from the vicinity of Morogoro River. The results were used to calculate Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Total Target Hazard Quotient (TTHQ) and Cancer Risk for health risk assessment. Both first and second-category samples have TTHQ of 7.4 and 22.6 respectively which indicate a serious health risk and the value for third category is 1 which means no serious health risk. The cancer risk values are very high for second category samples which are intolerable. This means there is urgent need for immediate interventions, such as stricter regulations on domestic and industrial waste disposal, promotion of sustainable agricultural practices, and establishment of regular environmental monitoring systems

DISCIPLINE AS A TIMELESS COMPONENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
Authors: KARAOULAS APOSTOLOS
Published: October 2024

Discipline is often viewed as a means of maintaining order and authority within educational settings, but its significance extends far beyond this traditional perspective. The findings indicate that discipline plays a crucial role in the development of students' self-regulation, responsibility, and social skills. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of historical and contemporary perspectives, this study sheds light on the evolutionary development of discipline in the historical trajectory of European thought and its impact on various educational systems across the continent. The study aims to examine the role of discipline as a timeless aspect of the educational process and to analyze how it contributes to the promotion of learning and personal growth. Through historical review, it is revealed that discipline has been perceived differently across various historical epochs and cultures, yet it has always been deemed essential for educational success. In modern educational systems, the focus has shifted from strict, often punitive measures to supportive and self-regulated approaches that foster and promote student autonomy. Besides the historical evolution, discussions on the effectiveness of various disciplinary strategies and their long-term impacts on students are also examined. It is argued that a flexible and respectful approach that considers the individual needs of students can enhance the effectiveness of disciplinary measures. It has been shown that school discipline extends beyond mere rule enforcement; rather, it functions as a conduit for fostering a conducive learning atmosphere where students feel secure and are provided with essential support. Future research is needed to further explore the longterm impacts of different disciplinary approaches, particularly in the context of cultural and social differences among students. The study aims to reaffirm the timeless importance of discipline in the educational process and to emphasize the necessity for continuous evolution in disciplinary approaches. This is deemed essential for educators to effectively respond to the ever-changing and evolving demands of education

Published: October 2024

В работе рассмотрены современные подходы к цифровой трансформации производственного процесса. Отмечена слабая цифровизация химической отрасли. Обосновывается потребность в едином рассмотрении исследовательской, проектной и производственной деятельности. Предложены три этапа цифровой трансформации, каждый из которых дополняет предыдущий. На первом этапе создается модель, которая аккумулирует информацию о реальном объекте или процессе, актуализация которой выполняется вручную. На втором этапе происходит формирование единого информационного поля за счёт использования цифровых нитей. Происходит связывание цифровой составляющей объекта или процесса с понятием жизненного цикла. Цифровые нити приобретают автономность. Результатом второго этапа цифровой трансформации можно признать появление цифровых двойников. На третьем этапе цифровой трансформации происходит переосмысление цифрового двойника как информационной системы, что позволяет посмотреть на жизненный цикл продукта в контексте модельно-ориентированного проектирования. Модельно-ориентированный подход расширяет возможности по управлению эволюцией системы за счёт использования практик, применимых к информационным системам.
Dynamic-Stochastic Model for Atmospheric Drought Forecasting in Uzbekistan
Authors: ML* Arushanov , GSH Eshmuratova
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a one-month lead-time predictive model of atmospheric drought developed at the Scientific Research Hydrometeorological Institute. The model is based on a dynamic-stochastic approach to constructing a regression predictive equation. From the set of existing methods for constructing regression equations, the method based on the characteristic roots (eigenvalues) of the correlation matrix, including the predict and column and predictor columns (extended matrix) was applied. The standardized drought index SPI serves as the predict and, while the predictors are the average monthly precipitation for the 3 months preceding the forecast month, the average monthly value of variations in solar activity (Wolf numbers) and the average monthly value of the Southern Oscillation index for the month preceding the forecast. The predictors were selected based on mutual correlation and applied time series analyses between the aridity index SPI and the indicated heliogeophysical values. The performed estimates of the investigated dependence of the aridity index SPI on the state of solar activity, the influence of El Niño (La Niña) and precipitation preceding the forecast date showed their high correlation. Estimates of the accuracy of the SPI forecast with a monthly advance lead time for the territory of Uzbekistan, performed on an independent sample, were quite high, which was the basis for the introduction of this model into the operational work of the hydrometeorological service of Uzbekistan (Uzhydromet).
Plants from South America: A Systematic Review of Their Antiplasmodial and Antimalarial Activities Based on Ethnopharmacological Use
Authors: Ceravolo* Isabela Penna , de Cassia Cardoso Arcas Rita , Ursine Krettli Antoniana
Published: October 2024

Malaria remains one of the most important diseases in the world, being lethal to 610 thousand individuals annually. The widespread resistance of P. falciparum to antimalarials emphasizes the urgent need for new therapies, as treatment remains the primary strategy to control the disease. Although combinations of synthetic drugs are used in treatment, medicinal plants are often utilized in folk medicine as a complement and/or alternative to treat human malaria, especially in poor endemic areas. This systematic review evaluates the antiplasmodial and/or antimalarial activities, as well as the ethnopharmacological use of plant species by traditional communities from South America, through a search in the PubMed Central and Science Direct databases. Among 346 articles selected using the keywords “Malaria”, “Plants”, “Traditional”, “Knowledge”, “Antimalarial” and “Amazon”, 27 were considered eligible. Plant species with no activities were used to a new search on Google, PubMed, and Science Direct. Of the 389 species or genera from 88 botanical families evaluated, most studies were conducted in Peru, with leaves being the primary plant part used for treatment and/or prevention. Out of the analyzed species, excluding 30 mentioned only by genus, 185 had their extracts, fractions, or pure substances assessed, and only nine species had both in vitro and in vivo activity. Among the 174 species cited by traditional communities evaluated, with no data for activity, 66 presented results when a new literature search was performed. The Chayahuita ethnicity was the community providing more traditional knowledge about malaria treatment. Most plant species mentioned in the articles indicated for treatment and/or prevention of malaria have not yet been evaluated for antiplasmodial and antimalarial activities. Collecting ethnopharmacology information of plants is important, since their use for malaria treatment significantly increases the chances of finding a plant to be used as antimalarial substitutes.
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin as more than a Biomarker of Metabolic Diseases and Reproductive Disorders: What Physicians Should Know?
Authors: Renck Alessandra Covallero , Trarbach* Ericka B , Brasil Sergio , Frade Costa Elaine Maria
Published: October 2024

Until recent years, Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) has been considered of less a priority in the management of metabolic and chronic inflammatory states. However, emerging research highlights the remarkable role of SHBG in the screening and follow-up of patients not only with metabolic disorders but also in influencing reproductive outcomes. The present review aims to consolidate current knowledge on the involvement of SHBG in various clinical conditions. The search was performed using multiple databases to identify original studies measuring SHBG levels in conditions such as type-2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome (MetS), male obesity secondary hypogonadism, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), male equivalent of PCOS, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), infantile obesity, and early puberty. Among a total of 93,735 studies, 62 met the inclusion criteria, encompassing data from 127,771 subjects comprising both patients and controls. Studies were predominantly cross-sectional and observational cohorts, with MetS and NAFLD being the most extensively investigated conditions. Across all clinical conditions, significantly lower SHBG levels were consistently observed among patients compared to matched controls. The decrease in SHBG was found to be significantly associated with adverse reproductive, metabolic, and cardiovascular outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of considering SHBG as a valuable marker in routine clinical practice. Clinicians are encouraged to recognize the potential of SHBG as a useful marker in the assessment and management of various health conditions within their routine practice.
The Impact of Chloroform on Viability of Temperate Bacteriophage Lambda and Survival of its Host, Escherichia coli
Authors: Pandey* Amita , Hashmi Tarannum
Published: October 2024

Background: This study investigates the effect of chloroform, an organic compound with anti-bacterial properties, produced both naturally and due to anthropogenic activities on the viability of temperate bacteriophage lambda (phage lambda) and its host, Escherichia coli (E. coli). The study was initiated while repurposing phage lambda for testing efficacy and efficiency of disinfectants. Results: Plaque assays and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using primers specific to the Lambda Tail Protein (LTP) demonstrated a decrease in plaque-forming units and the log copy number of phage lambda following chloroform treatment of phage lysates. Interestingly, PCR with 16 S rRNA primers detected the presence of bacteria in both chloroform-treated and untreated lysates, suggesting that E. coli lysogens, small enough to pass through 0.2 μm filters, which is commonly used for sterilization, were present in the phage lysates. The presence of lysogens in the phage lysates was further supported by the absence of a 16 S rRNA amplicon in lysates prepared without phage lambda infection and the presence of an amplicon in DNase-treated lysates. Additionally, PCR and microscopy revealed that chloroform treatment of phage lysates increased the lysogen copy number, decreased lysogen size, and altered lysogens phage-producing ability. Conclusion: In summary, while chloroform had a slight effect on the viability of phage lambda, most of the phage remained resistant to chloroform because they lack a lipid coat. Phage lambda transitioned to a lysogenic life cycle under sub-optimal growth conditions, leading to the formation of E. coli lysogens. These lysogens were more resistant to stresses like chloroform, ensuring the survival of both the phage and the host during adverse conditions

Published: October 2024

Background: Lung cancer (LC) is often diagnosed at a late stage in relatively old persons whose survival may be compromised because of limited treatment. Our aim was to carry out an age-specific survival study on LC in Denmark (DK), Finland (FI), Norway (NO) and Sweden (SE) through a half century (1972-2021). Nordic survival data were compared with survival in the US Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database Methods: Relative 1- and 5-year survival data were extracted from the NORDCAN database and subjected to modelling by generalized additive models for survival trends over time. Conditional survival was calculated for those who had survived the first year to survive additional 4 years Results: Very little improvement was found in survival for any age group before year 2000. By 2017-21, 5-year survival for men below age 50 years has increased to over 40% (FI somewhat less) and for equally aged women it was over 50% in countries other than FI. Survival reached over 20% for the 80-89-year-old male and female patients but it was 7% for men and 12% for women in FI. DK age-group-specific survival curves stayed well parallel to each other indicating equal improvement but for FI and SE men the curves diverged showing increasing age gaps. Nordic age-specific survival data were better than those in the US SEERS Conclusion: Survival increased, after a 30-year standstill, after 2000 with increasing tempo towards 2017-21 and encompassing all age groups. This and the increase in conditional survival suggested that even the oldest patients were offered effective treatment. As LC remains a fatal disease all prevention modes needs to be emphasized, starting from primary prevention, to early detection and therapeutic improvements.
Traditional and Non-Traditional Approaches to Prediction of Natural Catastrophes
Authors: VB* Sapunov
Published: October 2024

The catastrophes number from begin of XXI century increased about two times. The causes of the fact appeared to be obscure, but some suggestions based on understanding space and global processes, exists. The most terrible phenomena are tsunami. Such a wave got death of 700 000 people in 2004. A new tsunami got South West Asia in the end of 2018. Biological indications and understanding of some phenomena connected with natural life is a way toward prediction of tsunami. Living organisms are able to predict some future events particular catastrophic incidents. This is adaptive characters producing by evolution. The more energy produces incident the more possibility to predict one. Wild animals escaped natural hazards including tsunami (e.g. extreme tsunami in Asia December 2004). Living animals are able to predict strong phenomena of obscure nature. For example, majority of animals escaped Tungus catastrophe taking place in Siberia at 1908. Wild animals are able to predict nuclear weapon experiences. The obscure characters are not typical for human, but they are fixed under probability 15%. Effective theory describing such a character are absent till now. Russian scientist N.Kozyrev suggested existence of unknown physical field (but gravitation and electro-magnetic). The field was named “time” or “chrono”. Some characters of the field appeared to be object of physical experiment. Kozyrev suggested specific role of the field for function of living organisms. Transition of biological information throw space (telepathy) and time (proscopy) may be based on characters of such a field. Hence physical chrono-and-information field is under consideration. Animals are more familiar with such a field than human. Evolutionary process experienced with possibility of extreme development of contact with such a field using highest primates. Some equipment of detection of such a field is in progress. The perspective way for study of mysterious phenomena of physic is researches of this field characters.

Authors: Wang* Pei-Jung , Wang Shih-Hao
Published: October 2024

Mastery motivation has been identified as key factor for future child competence in early childhood. Whether the development of children's mastery motivation is changeable or stable from toddlerhood to preschool age remains inconclusive. Thus, the purpose of this study was to discuss the previous findings of mastery motivation development and provide the insight into the future early childhood education program and research direction in young children with and without delays. We found that developmental trajectory of mastery motivation on each three domains might vary depending on the child’s phase of development. The developmental trends of mastery motivation differ between young children with and without delays. It is important to recognize that the trajectory of mastery motivation may vary depending on the specific domain. Therefore, early childhood educators should identify each child's strengths and weaknesses to promote and sustain their motivation to participate in daily tasks that are at least moderately challenging for them.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) are common in older adults and significantly impact individuals, caregivers, and the broader healthcare system. As the elderly population with various comorbidities increases, the burden of LUTS will increase. The chronic disease management program (Program Pengelolaan Penyakit Kronis, PROLANIS) is a government program generally followed by the elderly. This study aims to describe the characteristics of LUTS in PROLANIS patients in Gorontalo Province.Methods: The analytical observational study design, using a cross-sectional approach, was conducted on PROLANIS patients living in rural and urban areas in Gorontalo Province is between July - October 2023. An incidental sampling technique was conducted on eligible patients and areas. LUTS symptoms were measured using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire and categorized into mild, moderate, and severe. LUTS symptoms were considered significant if the IPSS score was ≥8.Results: Of the 52 participants, 38.50% experienced significant LUTS symptoms. The majority of symptoms felt were nocturia (score two, as many as 23.10%) and mild symptoms (53.80%). Geographical differences, gender, education level, and age were not associated with LUTS symptoms (p 0.10).Conclusion: The prevalence of LUTS in patients undergoing PROLANIS is relatively high. The majority of LUTS patients have mild symptoms, with nocturia being the most common complaint compared to other symptoms. Further studies with a larger sample size and involving multiple sites are needed to obtain a more valid description of the characteristics of LUTS epidemiology in the PROLANIS population.                                                                         Keywords: Aged; Disease Management; Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms; Nocturia

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the context of addressing climate changes is becoming one of the main challenges for industry. One of the promising options is a set of technologies for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCS), which is aimed at preventing GHG emissions already formed from entering the atmosphere. There are about 40 CCS projects in the world, while they are absent in Russia. The purpose of the study is to present a conceptual vision of the CCS technological chains’ development in the industrial sector of Russia, taking into account the existing prerequisites, determining their future development strategic factors and problems of the implementation. The analysis of the world experience of CCS projects is presented, the advantages and problems of their implementation in the context of the general map of industrial decarbonization are defined. The basic prerequisites for technology implementation in Russia are identified, their essence and possible directions for development are defined. A set of strategic factors that will determine the future development of CCS in Russia is presented. The factors are of a controllable nature and form the basis for the functioning of CCS technological chain in industry. The conclusions concerning the prospects of development of this direction in Russia are formulated. The importance of the state regulation measures for the development of CCS technologies is outlined.

Published: October 2024

Humankind is currently facing many issues that need to be dealt with. Therefore, the necessity for their theoretical reasoning arises. The modern paradigm of economic knowledge based on the liberal concept does not provide suitable answers to existing challenges. In this regard, the appeal to the methodology of political economy becomes relevant, using which adequate results were obtained. It is not so much about classical political economic tools, but the application of new theories developed using this methodology, in particular, the theory of noonomy. The paper reveals the prospects of its application to explain the changes that are currently taking place and, apparently, still will be taking place in the socioeconomic system.

Without implementing a stimulating fiscal policy in Russia, it is not possible to achieve national development goals for the period until 2030 and implement strategic national priorities. According to the conclusions of economists, the effectiveness of certain measures of this policy is differentiated by region and industry. The purpose of the study is to consider possible directions for improving stimulating fiscal policy for economic sectors of the Ural macroregion. The research methods are general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical research, systematization and generalization, analysis and synthesis, verification, mathematical methods. Based on the results of the study, it was established that fulfilling the obligation to pay local taxes, in particular land tax, is burdensome for organizations in the manufacturing industry, as well as those providing electricity, gas and steam, air conditioning and professional, scientific and technical activities. Relevant areas for improving the stimulating fiscal policy in the Ural macroregion are areas related to the expansion of tax benefits for land tax for manufacturing organizations, as well as the provision of companies providing electricity, gas and steam, air conditioning and professional, scientific and technical, TPD resident status, which will exempt them from paying land tax for 10 years.

Flood is a natural phenomenon but flooding causes damage to human society. In recent decades, flood risk has been intensified due to rapid urbanization and climate change. Furthermore, it becomes more complicated in regions where social vulnerability evolves with mechanisms such as population aging. This paper provides an analysis of flood risk in Japan in relation to climate change and aging. It highlights changes in hazard and exposure, which resulted in higher vulnerability. Especially, it detected a turning point in the frequency of heavy rainfalls in Japan. It also assessed the latest strategies the Japanese government took to counteract the impacts of climate change. These analyses shed new light on Japan's challenges to achieve better flood risk management. Although a large amount of research on flood risk is available in the literature, the present study provides new thoughts and directions for further studies.
