Metal-air batteries are a promising energy storage solution, but materials limitations (e.g., metal passivation, low active material utilization) have stymied their adoption. We investigate a solid fuel flow battery (SFFB) architecture that combines the energy density of metal-air batteries with the modularity of redox flow batteries. Specifically, a metallic solid electrochemical fuel (SEF) is spatially separated from the anodic current collector; a dissolved redox mediator shuttles charge between the two, and an oxygen reduction cathode completes the circuit. This modification decouples power and energy system components while enabling mechanical rechargeability and mitigating the effects of non-uniform metal oxidation. We conduct an exploratory study showing that metallic SEFs can chemically reduce organic redox mediators repeatedly. We subsequently operate a proof-of-concept SFFB cell for ca. 25 days as an initial demonstration of technical feasibility. Overall, this work illustrates the potential of this storage concept and highlights scientific and engineering pathways to improvement.

Cyclin E/CDK2 drives cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. Despite the toxicity of cyclin E overproduction in mammalian cells, the cyclin E gene is overexpressed in some cancers. To further understand how cells can tolerate high cyclin E, we characterized non-transformed epithelial cells subjected to chronic cyclin E overproduction. Cells overproducing cyclin E, but not cyclins D or A, briefly experienced truncated G1 phases followed by a transient period of DNA replication origin underlicensing, replication stress, and impaired proliferation. Individual cells displayed substantial intercellular heterogeneity in cell cycle dynamics and CDK activity. Each phenotype improved rapidly despite high cyclin E–associated activity. Transcriptome analysis revealed adapted cells down-regulated a cohort of G1-regulated genes. Withdrawing cyclin E from adapted cells only partially reversed underlicensing indicating that adaptation is at least partly non-genetic. This study provides evidence that mammalian cyclin E/CDK inhibits origin licensing indirectly through premature S phase onset and provides mechanistic insight into the relationship between CDKs and licensing. It serves as an example of oncogene adaptation that may recapitulate molecular changes during tumorigenesis.

Метою роботи є оцінювання комфортності текстильних матеріалів різного сировинного складу з використанням комплек сного підходу, який базується на поєднанні експериментальних досліджень показників комфортності та діагностиці впливу матеріалів на функціональний стан організму людини.
Для досягнення поставленої мети використано експериментальні методи дослідження механічних і фізичних властивостей текстильних матеріалів, принципи порівняльного аналізу, статистичний метод обробки даних. Енерго-інформаційний вплив на організм людини визначався з використанням методу біорезонансної енерго-хвильової діагностики.
Проведені у процесі роботи дослідження показали, що рівень комфортності текстильних матеріалів для одягу, визначений експериментальним шляхом, не завжди збігається з тим, як реагує людський організм на їх використання. Якщо найкращі значення показників комфортності були встановлені для лляних та шовкових тканин, то найбільш позитивно на організм впливають лляні та вовняні, а для шовкових є характерним високий рівень негативного впливу. Це ще раз підтверджує той факт, що комфортність є комплексним показником і може оцінюватися лише із врахуванням суб’єктивних відчуттів людини. Загалом найкращі результати були встановлені для зразка лляного матеріалу: для нього характерні високі значення показників комфортності в поєднанні з низьким рівнем негативного впливу та досить високим рівнем позитивного впливу. Запропонована методика оцінювання комфортності дає можливість враховувати реакцію організму на вплив тих чи інших видів текстильних матеріалів.
Наукова новизна полягає в тому, що в даній роботі вперше використано комплексний підхід для оцінювання комфортності матеріалів, який включає поєднання об’єктивних та суб’єктивних методів.
Практична значимість підтверджується рекомендаціями щодо конфекціювання текстильних матеріалів для виготовлення літнього одягу на основі їх комфортності.
Evaluating the Emotional Impact of Environmental Artworks Using Q Methodology
Authors: Brook Lesley
Published: February 2022

By engaging audience emotions, the creative arts can prompt people to consider societal issues in different ways and hence influence views and behaviours. While audience members bring their unique personal characteristics to the art experience, their emotional responses to art may be shared somewhat. To contribute to understanding audience emotional engagement, this empirical study investigates the emotional responses of viewers to an exhibition of environmental artworks. Q methodology is used with images to evaluate emotional responses to artworks, after the participants have experienced the exhibition. The 25 participants sorted 54 images from their strongest positive to strongest negative emotional responses to the artworks depicted, then described their emotional responses in a semi-structured interview. A wide range of emotions were reported by participants, including multiple and mixed positive and negative emotions to single artworks. Statistical analysis of participants’ Q sorts revealed five groups of participants who shared emotional responses to the artworks. Differences between the groups can be accounted for by the level of participants’ prior experience of contemporary art and by the different ways in which participants perceive negative emotions. Variance within the groups is explained by personal influences contributing to differences in participants’ emotional responses to the artworks.
Autistic spectrum disorders: genetic and epigenetic aspects (review of modern foreign publications)
Authors:   Kherson State University, Lanovenko O.
Published: February 2022

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are diseases of a complex interaction of heredity and the environment with an estimate of heritability from 40 to 80 %, the etiology of which is multigenic and heterogeneous (people with similar pathogenetic variants have completely different phenotypes). Genetic and epigenetic factors play a key role in the onset of pathology; among them, the most important are gene copy number variations (CNV), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), epigenetic modulators. Different variations in gene copy numbers have been identified in people with autism, which explains the heterogeneous genetic architecture of the disorder. Short single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in the genes of neuronal receptors and proteins of cell detoxification, the metabolism of neurotransmitters and metabolites, in particular, the metabolic chains of methylation and transulfuration. Despite the identification of about 800 risk genes for ASD, none of them is the cause of more than 1 % of all cases of pathology. Among the recently identified 215 candidate genes, 19.5 % are epigenetic regulators. During the formation of autism spectrum disorders, nuclear and cytoplasmic mechanisms regulating gene activity undergo epigenetic transformation: chromatin remodeling, transcription, DNA methylation in the promoter region, alternative mRNA splicing, translation regulation, post-transcriptional regulation using microRNA, protein ubiquitination, protein degradation. Mutant proteins encoded by candidate ASD genes interfere with normal cell proliferation, correct synaptic architecture, and correct synaptic function. Most often, people with autism have inherited changes with incomplete penetrance, variable severity, or both. The most studied environmental risk factors that potentially contribute to the onset of ASD in offspring are: the age of the spouses (especially the father), perinatal risk factors, impaired metabolism of vitamins (in particular, vitamin D) and trace elements (zinc, chromium, magnesium), obesity, and Diabetes mellitus in the mother ... In the urine of children with autism, the content of dopamine is significantly increased, and the normal microflora in the intestine is disrupted as a result of replacing beneficial probiotics with clostridium bacteria. Given the complexity of the etiology of autism and the growing prevalence of new confirmed cases of ASD around the world, there is an urgent need to find effective diagnostic methods and identify the main risk factors for pathology.
Transformation processes in alpine phytocoenoses of the Ukrainian Carpathians under reservation and climate changes

Published: February 2022

Typycal alpine phytocoenoses of Ukrainian Carpathians with dominant species Festuca supina, Carex curvula, Juncus trifidus, Vaccinium uliginosum, Rhododendron myrtifolium, Sesleria coerulens and open chionophilous communities were investigated. As a result of comparative studies during 1982–2021, among alpine phytocoenoses, the smallest changes in the structure, abundance and coenose-forming positions of species were found in communities dominated by Juncus trifidus, Vaccinium uliginosum, Rhododendron myrtifolium and Sesleria coerulans, in particular in the Juncetum cetrario-myrtillosum, Uliginetum cetrariosum, Rhodoretum calamagrostiosum and Seslerietum cariceto-festucosum communities. During the same period in communities with dominant Festuca supina and Carex curvula, the position of the dominants decreased significantly. The Festuca supina-communities undergo desintegration and replacement by other phytocoenoses with dominance Juniperus alpinа, Vaccinium myrtillus, V. vitis-idaea, V. uliginosum and Calamagrostis villosum. Over the last decade, radical changes have taken place in Carex curvula-communities. In contrast to the decisive influence of postpastoral demutation processes on the degradation of Festuca supina-communities, changes in the phytocoenoses of Carex curvula are prima­rily climatogenically caused. It is established that in the alpine zone Festuca supina-communities do not belong to the indigenous primary phytocoenoses, but are secondary pastorally conditioned derivative succession stages of primary communities of other associations. Rapid positive dynamics over the last ten years of such mesochionophilous species as Veronica alpina, Gnaphalium supinum, Soldanella hungarica, Luzula spadicea and, at the same time, negative changes in populations of obligate chionophiles Cerastium cerastoides and Saxifraga carpatica indicate transformation processes within the communities connected to the areas under long and deep snow cover. These processes indicate rapid successional changes under the influence of increa­sing vegetation period due to the reduction of the duration of snow cover in the territory of chionophilous phytocoenoses, which is due to modern climate changes, primarily warming.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the 21st century remains the leading cause of death worldwide. In Ukraine, during 2020, 365,515 ukrainians died from heart disease and da­mage of the circulatory system. It is known that hypertension (AH) is one of the most important risk factors for atherosclerosis, accelerates its development and complicates the course, and these two diseases often accompany each other. Especially common is a combination of coronary heart disease (CHD), its various forms (angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia) and hypertension. The aim of the study was to establish the age and sex characteristics of the lipid profile of the blood of patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease. Analyzed the statistical data of a survey of 775 people (of which 436 women and 339 men). The data on total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol content for patients with hypertension and coronary disease was analyzed in order to assess the blood lipid spectrum. Statistical analysis and data processing was performed using standard methods of variation Statistics in the Statistics 8.0 software. Changes in lipid metabolism in patients with ischemic heart disease and hypertension were studied. The performed analysis of age-related and gender-related dynamics of blood lipid spectrum parameters – total triglycerides, total cholesterol (CS), low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol), the prognostic coefficient of atherogenicity (CA). It was found that the level of total cholesterol in women in the age groups <45 and 55–65 years old is higher than in similar groups in men. In age groups > 65 years, gender difference in total cholesterol levels is not observed. In age group 45–55 years, there are gender-dependent differences in the value of the prognostic coefficient of atherogenicity. For women there were no age-related changes in triglyceride levels. For men there is a depen­dence of the triglyceride’s levels with the age of patients. There were no significant diffe­rences in the levels of low- and high-density lipoproteins depending on gender.

Authors: Nafisah Laila , Nugraha Mohammad Ekky , Muhsin Ahmad
Published: February 2022

Most of the items sold at supermarkets have an expiration date. While many suppliers offer discounts and allow non-cash payments during certain time intervals. Supermarkets has the opportunity to take this offer so that profits can be increased, but they are faced with the nature of goods that have a shelf life. The greater the number of items stored, the greater the risk of expiration. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the right inventory control policy so that the total costs incurred can be minimized. In this paper, it will be developed a multi-item inventory model of deteriorating item with sales discounts, all unit quantity discount from supplier and permissible delay in payments. The aim is to determine the right policy for controlling the inventory of items that have an expiration date in order to minimize losses and total inventory costs. This model is expected to help supermarkets in determining the optimal number of orders and when to place orders so as to minimize total inventory costs. The model solution is carried out with an optimization approach based on the parameters that affect the model. A numerical example is given at the end of this paper for model validation and illustrates the model solving algorithm.

The Ngebel geothermal area is morphologically in several volcanic cones arranged as lava domes, volcanic hills, and lake craters. Volcanic cones are composed of lava, pyroclastic falls, pyroclastic flows, volcanic cones such as Jeding Volcano, Kemlandingan Volcano, Manyutan Volcano, and Ngebel Volcano. The magmatism activity that occurs in this area is andesitic-dacitic and also forms a geothermal system. This geothermal system is estimated to produce 50 MWe. During the formation of a geothermal system, hydrothermal fluids interact with the surrounding rock. Based on the results of geological mapping, petrographic analysis, and analysis of rare earth elements. In general, the results of rock-fluid interactions show a decrease in the concentration of rare earth elements, both light and heavy REE elements, from andesite basaltic samples to cold water samples. However, an unexpected reduction from 10 times chondrite to 0.3 times chondrite from hot water to cold water. This research will contribute to the hydrothermal alteration process in the research area that previous researchers have never done and expect to provide new information about forming the geothermal system in the Ngebel Volcanic Complex area.

Published: February 2022

The implementation of polymer injection on a field scale needs a preliminary laboratory test to analyze the performance and flow behavior of polymer injection in a porous media. Compared to coreflooding method, micromodel provides the visualization of oil displacement mechanism and facilitating a more detailed process description. Understanding the effect of polymer concentration on the incremental of oil recovery factor and its displacement mechanism are essential to know the polymer injection performance with the intention of avoiding failures in the implementation of polymer injection at field scale. We used dry etching technique for the fabrication of acrylic micromodel with homogenous characteristic. In this work, pre-flush (waterflooding) is performed first before doing the polymer injection to determine the incremental oil recovery factor and analyze the effect of polymer concentration on oil recovery factor enhancement in homogenous porous media. They were positioned horizontally then saturated with synthetic brine and light crude oil as the initial condition before starting the injection scenario. The experiment was conducted at room temperature. The entire process of micromodel flooding test was monitored by camera and then for the further analysis was done using Digital Image Analysis (DIA). According to the polymer rheology and aqueous stability test, it can be proven that polymer is a non-newtonian fluid indicated by shear thinning behavior and it can be observed that FP3630S polymer is a good candidate for micromodel flooding test. The micromodel flooding result confirmed that the increasing of polymer concentration will result in higher incremental oil recovery factor. In addition, based on the final condition of the micromodel after the polymer injection process, there is improvement of sweep efficiency due to the front stability resulted by the decreasing of mobility ratio between displacing fluid (polymer solution) and the oil bank.

Authors: Jha Rani , Rungta Manoj , Jha Shailesh Kumar
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Missed abortion is a nonviable intrauterine pregnancy in the presence of a closed cervix and little or no abdominal cramping. WHO recommends Misoprostol as a safe drug in the medical management of missed abortion. This study was conducted to study the efficacy of sublingual versus vaginal misoprostol in the medical management of missed abortion.
Methods: A hospital based prospective study was carried out among 212 women with confirmed missed abortion who received 800 μg misoprostol either sublingually or vaginally for the medical management. All women were admitted to hospital for 2 days for observation. If the pregnancy was not completely evacuated in 2 days following misoprostol administration, manual vacuum aspiration or dilatation and curettage was performed for completion. Efficacy was defined as the percentage of women discharged without the need for manual vacuum aspiration or dilatation and curettage.
Results: The efficacy of 800 μg misoprostol was high and statistically significant in the sublingual group. Success rate was 80.19% with sublingual route whereas it was only 59.43% with vaginal route (p-value = 0.001).Incidence of complications and side effects like bleeding, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever was significantly higher in sublingual group.
Conclusions: In the medical management of missed abortion sublingual misoprostol achieved a higher rate of complete abortion in comparison to the vaginal route. However, sublingual route showed more adverse effects.
Femaleness in Shobha De’s Sisters
Authors: Bhandari Sabindra Raj
Published: February 2022

The objective of this article is to explore the female voice in Shobha De’s novel Sisters. The main female characters Mikki and Alisha discard the gender roles prescribed by the patriarchal society. In course of their struggle against the subjugation, they realize that the attributes of femininity are simply the trappings of male chauvinism. They speak that the be-all and end-all of a female is to realize the biological aspect of femaleness. Their dialogues and actions clarify that they want to disseminate the doctrines that sex and gender differ from each other. Sex is natural and biological while the gender is constructed by social and cultural patterns. The novel exposes this dichotomy between nature and nurture. Mikki readily leaves her home and rebels against the domination of her husband and determines to hear the inner voice of female. Alisha, on the other hand, believes that one can gain power by controlling the economic status. They both unite to come out of cesspool of patriarchal hegemony. In this regard, they become the revolutionary angels for the women. They become new women. The article exploits the paradigm of qualitative approach by using the perspective of feminism to explore all these dynamics of femininity and femaleness in the novel. It provides the points of departure between the femininity and femaleness by analyzing the issues in the novel.

Rad istražuje doprinos prve hrvatske katoličke novinarke Smiljane Rendić kršćansko– židovskomu dijalogu. Propituje njezinu misao o odnosu Staroga i Novoga zavjeta, o odnosu Isusa Krista prema Zakonu. Analizira uzroke kršćanskoga antisemitizma i neodrživost teze o kolektivnoj odgovornosti Židova za bogoubojstvo. Kontekstualizira njezino tumačenje židovske povijesti i jezika te propituje održivost tvrdnje da je Crkva o antisemitizmu prekasno progovorila. Autorica se služi hermeneutskom metodom iščitavanja tekstova u njihovu kontekstu.

COVID–19 pandemija prouzročila je sveobuhvatne promjene socijalnoga, ali i socijetalnoga života uzrokujući “globalni eksperiment prekida”. U potrazi za elementima onoga društvenoga u doba COVID–19 pandemije svakako valja krenuti od onih fenomena koji su temelj za uspostavu racionalnosti. Naš rad kao okosnicu realnosti u doba COVID–19 pandemije uzima fenomen rizika, medikalizacije društva te aksiološke i instrumentalne racionalnosti. Kako bismo ispitali navedene fenomene, proveli smo empirijsko istraživanje u kojem je sudjelovalo 185 sudionika. Ispitivali smo razne stavove sudionika prema COVID–19 pandemiji i cijepljenju te njihovu povezanost s dimenzijom religioznosti, posljedice COVID–19 pandemije na psihički život sudionika te zaštitne čimbenike koji pomažu u nošenju s tim posljedicama. Rezultati indiciraju da su stavovi polarizirani. Religioznost nije statistički značajno povezana s raznim stavovima o pandemiji i cijepljenju, ali je značajno povezana sa statusom cijepljenosti, sugerirajući da su religioznije osobe sklonije aksiološkoj racionalnosti. Većina je sudionika zbog pandemije proživjela razne negativne posljedice, u najvećoj mjeri socijalnu izolaciju, povećan stres i smanjenu kvalitetu života. Religiozne osobe izvještavaju o većoj duhovnosti, religioznosti, češćoj molitvi i češćim odlascima u bogomolju, što za njih predstavlja i zaštitne čimbenike u nošenju s negativnim posljedicama.

Addressing sexuality can support youth to thrive with positive development. Healthcare providers (HCPs) are uniquely positioned to offer such support given their professional knowledge and relationship with youth. This paper aims to identify and summarize suggestions to support HCPs to discuss sexuality with youth. A scoping review methodology was used and 17 studies were identified from four databases (i.e., Embase, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO). Six suggestions for practice were identified, including (i) establish a trusting relationship; (ii) create a safe and comfortable environment; (iii) ask for consent and keep conversation confidential; (iv) initiate the conversation; (v) use inclusive language; and (vi) discuss the psychosocial aspect of sexuality. It was also found that youth with a disability or chronic condition were under-represented in the literature. Future research should evaluate the clinical utility of these suggestions and how suggestions can be adapted to meet the sexuality needs of youth with a disability.
Impact of Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Propofol on State- and Response-Entropy and Sedation Depth During Flexible Bronchoscopy
Authors: Husemann Cornelius , Husemann Cornelius , Hautmann Hubert
Published: February 2022

Background: The increasing use of flexible bronchoscopy for diagnostic and interventional purposes requires further knowledge on feasible sedation regimens. We investigated the potential benefit of Target- Controlled Infusion (TCI) of propofol on sedation depth.
Methods: Fifty-four patients scheduled for elective flexible bronchoscopy were allocated to receive propofol sedation using either intermittent boluses or Target Controlled Infusion (TCI). Endpoints included Entropy monitoring to evaluate sedation depth, sedation quality and the total amount of propofol.
Results: There were no significant differences between both cohorts regarding the number of adverse sedation-related events. The mean applied dose of propofol was significantly higher in the Target-Controlled Infusion group (405±249 mg vs. 324±94 mg, p=0.015). Until patients reached loss of consciousness (LOC), State Entropy (SE) and Response Entropy (RE) levels were comparable among both sedation regimens. During the procedure, both parameters decreased to significantly lower levels in the TCI-cohort (SE: 77.7±13.2 vs. 88.8±8.6 (p=0.002) and RE: 69±12.6 vs. 79±8.7 (p=0.005)). Examination conditions, as rated by proceduralists and assisting nurses, were superior in the TCI-cohort. In addition, restraining measurements, due to uncontrolled movement during the examination needed to be applied more often to patients in the bolus cohort (body restraint: 26 (96%) vs. 18 (67%), p=0.005).
Conclusion: Target-Controlled Infusion of propofol complies with the requirements of flexible bronchoscopy by providing a deep and steady level of sedation without impairing patient’s safety. In addition, there is evidence that overall sedation quality is superior, both for bronchoscopist and assisting staff.

This research aimed to determine blood protein total, blood urea, blood glucose and blood cholseterol on thin tail rams which is administered kudzu pellet with readily available carbohydrates. Experimental method used completely randomize design. The data was analyzed through Anova and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Twenty four local rams are divided into four dietary treatment, namely RK = 50 % napier grass + 50 % concentrate, KD = 50 % napier grass + 25 % kudzu pellet with rice bran + 25 % concentrate, KM = 50 % napier grass + 25 % kudzu pellet with molasses + 25 % concentrate, KG = 50 % napier grass + 25 % kudzu pellet dried cassava + 25 % concentrate. Each treatment was replicated six times. Administering dried cassava (KG) in kudzu showed significance (P<0,05) blood glucose in thin-tailed ram compared to control dietary (RK) and bran rice kudzu pellet (KD) based on table 2. Administering dried cassava (KG) and molasses (KM) in kudzu pellet provided similar response (Table 2) on blood glucose level. Blood cholesterol level decreased along with the duration of treatment (Table 2) during 60 days compared before treatment. The result showed that duration of treatment made a significant decrease (P<0,05) (Table 2) on blood cholesterol in rams. Blood total protein declined when the treatment was administered during 60 days. The result explained that duration of treatment is significant (P<0,05) to decrease blood total protein level on rams (Table 2). The blood urea level of this research showed that the duration of treament is significant (P<0,05) to increase blood urea level on thin-tailed rams (Table 2). Blood urea level on each treatment was range between 31,23 mg/dL – 34,57 mg/dL. This result explained that the increase of blood urea level showed a significant difference (P<0,05) when diet treatments interacted with the duration of treatment. The conclusion of this research was administering dried cassava (KG) and molasses (KM) in kudzu pellet increase blood glucose level, stabilized blood total protein, urea and cholesterol in thin-tailed rams. However, the protein balance in thin-tailed rams diet on different age should be considered in order to support the growth. Keywords: Kudzu, Blood Urea, Blood Glucose, Blood Protein Total, Blood Cholesterol
