Modern trends and problems in the development of the global economy require a search for increasing the competitiveness of Russian companies in the global economic system. At the same time, one of the most important indicators assessing competitiveness opportunities is business activity and confidence in the future. The article presents an assessment of the business environment and analysis of the business climate of the Russian Federation in the period from 2014 to 2023, including in various sectors of the economy, taking into account positive, negative and restraining assessments given by the heads of large, small and medium-sized businesses. The main problems, internal and external barriers to the functioning of enterprises during the sanctions period under consideration are analyzed. Every year, more than half of entrepreneurs note the problem of rising prices and tariffs, high taxation, instability of the ruble exchange rate and a high key rate. One of the most important, and rightfully one of the three most negative barriers to doing business, is the lack of highly qualified personnel. Also relevant are the problems of unfair competition, difficulties in carrying out foreign economic transactions, underdeveloped infrastructure, insufficient protection of property rights and contract rights; remaining high administrative barriers, etc.

At the current stage, the dairy industry in Ukraine is at a fairly high level, although in comparison with world standards, it does not meet the world level in a number of indicators. One of the main tasks for Ukraine as a member of the WTO and in connection with the prospect of its accession to the EU is the harmonization of national regulatory and legal requirements with international ones in the field of food safety and quality. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and quality of sour cream obtained from various domestic manufacturers, as well as to determine its adulteration according to generally accepted methods and developed patented express methods. Analytical, organoleptic, physico-chemical, microbiological, toxicological and statistical methods of research were used to implement the research goal. Sour cream produced by Ukrainian dairy enterprises according to organoleptic indicators (appearance, color, consistency, smell, taste) and physicochemical indicators (mass fraction of fat, titrated acidity, phosphatase, temperature during storage) met the requirements of the current national standard of Ukraine - DSTU 4418:2005. With the exception of sour cream of samples No. 1 and No. 5) - the fat content is reduced, and respectively 8.72±0.07% and 9.10±0.95% (according to the standards of 15−40%) and increased titrated acidity (sample No. 1) − 109.0±1.43 °T (according to standards of 60–100 °T). According to the microbiological tests of sour cream, the content of viable lactic acid bacteria was significantly lower - from (1.16±0.21)x102 to (1.42±0.21)x103 CFU/g compared to the normative indicators (1.0x107 CFU/g), which indicated a significant reduction in the contamination of the product by microorganisms as a result of compliance with sanitary and hygienic requirements for sour cream production. The content of coliform bacteria, Salmonella bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, yeast, mold fungi in sour cream met the regulatory requirements of the current national standard of Ukraine - DSTU 4418:2005. During the determination of product falsification, the presence of impurities of starch, sodium hydrogen carbonate, alkaline detergents, hydrogen peroxide, gelatin, and vegetable fats in the sour cream of the producers (samples No. 1 and No. 5) was found; no impurities were detected in the sour cream of other producers. The content of toxic elements (heavy metals), mycotoxins, antibiotics and hormonal drugs in sour cream did not exceed the maximum permissible level (MRL). Express and optimized methods for determining adulteration of sour cream have been developed.

Published: July 2024

The study of the biological characteristics of the development of bee colonies, the ethology of bees, the inﬂuence of the various factors on their life activities contributes to the development and implementation of new highly efective technologies of keeping and reproduction. Of particular interest is the study of the stimulating efect of diferent numbers of brood of diferent ages in the nest of a bee colony on the trophic connections of honey bees with the biological diversity of entomophilous plants, the change in physiological characteristics of diferent generations of bees in modern changing natural and climatic conditions of unstable ecotypes. This paper presents the data of experimental studies on the inﬂuence on the biological potential of bee colonies of various technological methods of regulating the reproductive activity of queen bees. The work aims to study the technological methods of regulating the reproductive activity of queen bees. The following research methods were used: zootechnical (selection of groups of analogues, signs of bee purebredness, brood accounting), analytical (analysis of literature data and research results) and statistical. Biometric data processing was carried out on a PC using MS Excel software with built-in statistical functions. Results. As a result of the study, it was found that bee families, where the reproductive activity of queen bees was limited by the use of an isolation cage, had the highest productivity indicators. It has been proved that prolonged (15 days or more) restriction of the reproductive activity of queen bees negatively afects the strength of bee colonies and their preparation for a prolonged state of hypobiosis. Conclusions. It was found that there is a complex relationship between brood rearing by bee colonies and their productivity. The absence of brood has led to an increase in the supply of nectar only for 12-15 days. Currently, due to the lack of replenishment with young bees, bee colonies have lost their strength and weakened. It has been proven that the most efective technological method of regulating the reproductive activity of queen bees in hull hives is the use of dividing grids and the mandatory presence of brood of diferent ages. For the efective use of honey collection, it is important not only to increase the maximum number of bees before the start of the main honey collection, but also to limit the feeding of a large number of larvae in time when they are no longer needed. During a short-term honey collection, it is necessary to limit the reproductive activity of the queen bee, and during the long one, it should be limited only in the second half of honey collection.

Signifcant challenges for the modern international community are population growth and climate change, and the latest technologies are helping to solve them. These include nanotechnologies that are capable of positively inﬂuencing the quality of agricultural products, minimising the negative impact of pesticides on the environment and human health, and increasing production productivity and food safety. Nanotechnology helps to minimise waste by producing more efcient products, leading to the development of precision agriculture and efcient resource management. Minimising the production of hazardous substances, reducing energy consumption in green nanotechnology and almost no toxic chemicals make green nanomaterials widely used and desirable in various felds of human activity. Traditional and new methods for the formation of nanosized materials are considered, with an emphasis on their advantages and disadvantages. Extra- and intracellular ways of nanoparticle formation, as well as ascending and descending methods are described. The aim of the work was to establish the possibility of green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles using peppermint and lemon balm extracts. The plant extracts were prepared by ethanol extraction from the leaves in an extractor. The extract was separated from the plant material by fltering through flter paper. Copper nanoparticles were synthesised by the reduction of copper sulphate in the presence of peppermint or lemon balm extract, which acted as both a reducing agent and a nanoparticle stabiliser. The paper shows the possibility of synthesising copper oxide nanoparticles by the method using peppermint (Mentha piperita) and lemon (Melissa ofcinalis L.) balm leaf extracts. The TEM morphological study of Cu0 metal nanoparticles in the volume of polymeric nanocomposites and those created by the green synthesis method showed that the average size of copper (Cu0) nanoparticles is 3.5 and 12.2 nm, respectively. It was found that the thermo-chemical method of creating nanocomposites is cheap and accessible, but causes the formation of small metal nanoparticles, in contrast to the polymeric nanocomposite created by the green synthesis method, which is environmentally friendly and occurs at low temperatures.

Lifelong medical challenges and immunogenetics of Turner syndrome
Authors: Cho Won Kyoung
Published: July 2024

Turner syndrome (TS) is a female phenotypic condition characterized by one or more typical clinical features and the partial or complete absence of a second X chromosome as determined by karyotype analysis. TS, among the most common chromosomal abnormalities, has an estimated prevalence of approximately 1 in 2,500 live-born females, with ethnic and racial differences. TS encompasses a wide array of medical challenges, including cardiovascular, endocrine, autoimmune, and mental health issues, as well as a heightened cancer risk. The somatic stigmata of TS are thought to arise from haploinsufficiency of the X chromosomes. This review explores the lifelong medical challenges and immunogenetics of individuals with TS and aimed to investigate strategies for preventing and managing TS while considering the implications of immunogenetics.

Published: July 2024

A question-and-answer technique is one of the strategies to learn English-speaking skills. It invites the class to ask the concerned student questions and avoids a monologue where all the focus is on one person, which helps the teacher reduce tension. The purpose of this study was to confirm the impact of question-and-answer sessions on the speaking proficiency of first-grade senior high school students in Malang, Indonesia. A Quasi-experimental research design was employed since the present study utilized two intact groups. To find out the result, the researchers conducted a pre-test to measure the homogeneity of the group and a post-test to verify the technique's effectiveness. Based on the pre-test result, the groups were claimed to be homogenous before treatment was done since the significant value (.53) was greater than 0.05 (.53> 0.05). However, the post-test result after the treatment indicated that the two groups differed significantly at 0.05 levels as the sig. of the test results was less than 0.05 (.001<0.05). Furthermore, the descriptive statistics revealed better performance in the experimental than in the control group (76.56 > 66.22). It is summarized that the students who were taught using question-and-answer techniques had better speaking ability than those who were not. Therefore, the researchers recommended teachers apply this technique to their students to develop their speaking ability.

Authors: Geffertová Hedviga ,   Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with the cassation complaint as one of the remedies in the administrative justice system from the perspective of the dispositional principle, which is the driving force of administrative court proceedings. However, the application of the dispositional principle in cassation complaint proceedings is limited compared to proceedings before an administrative court. Such limitations arise from the nature of cassation proceedings. The paper will focus on the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Code governing cassation complaints, to what extent they limit the principle of disposition, and whether such a limitation is justified.

Published: July 2024

Aims: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability globally, characterized by sudden neurological deficits. Pressure ulcers, caused by prolonged bed rest, can be managed non-pharmacologically through immobilization and routine tilting to prevent decubitus. To compare the effectiveness of the lateral position with an inclination of 30 and 90 degrees on the risk of decubitus in stroke patients, in this study the control group was tilted 90 degrees and the intervention group was tilted 30 degrees.
Method: The sampling method is non-probability sampling with purposive sampling, a sample of 22 patients.
Results: Data analysis using Reapeted Measurement Anova resulted in a value in the experimental group resulting in a sum of square value of 24.9, f value 14.3, P < 0.001, while in the control group a sum of square value of 76.5, f value 26.8, P < 0.001 was obtained, so it can be concluded that the lateral position with an inclination of 90 degrees and 30 degrees has the same effect, namely providing a significant influence on reducing the risk of decubitus.
Conclusions: The study reveals that stroke patients aged 56-65 have a higher risk of pressure ulcers, with low-weight patients at higher risk. Early lateral position intervention and nutrition can significantly reduce the risk of decubitus, highlighting the importance of early wound healing.

Published: July 2024

The Hessian fly (HF, Mayetiola destructor) is one of the most destructive pests of wheat and wheat-related cereals. Wheat resistance and/or susceptibility to HF are often affected by the levels of phytohormones in plants. In this study, we tested the impact of phytohormones on Molly wheat resistance to HF biotype GP by externally applying phytohormones, including salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), 12-oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA), and auxin (indole acetic acid, IAA) to wheat seedlings under heat conditions. Our results indicated that the impact of externally applied phytohormones on wheat resistance to HF depends on the timing of phytohormone application and/or HF larval density at HF feeding sites in the plants. The early application of SA, OPDA, and IAA enhanced wheat resistance to HF under heat stress at low larval density, while the delayed application of SA, OPDA, and IAA did not affect wheat resistance to HF at high larval density.

Background

In an era of precision and stratified medicine, homogeneity in population-based cohorts, stringent causative entry, and pattern analysis of datasets are key elements to investigate medical treatments. Adhering to these principles, we collected in vivo and in vitro data pointing to an insulin-sensitizing/insulin-mimetic effect of myo-inositol (MYO) relevant to cell regeneration in dentistry and oral surgery. Confirmation of this possibility was obtained by in silico analysis of the relation between in vivo and in vitro results (the so-called bed-to-benchside reverse translational approach).

Results

Fourteen subjects over the 266 screened were young adult, normal weight, euglycemic, sedentary males having normal appetite, free diet, with a regular three-times-a-day eating schedule, standard dental hygiene, and negligible malocclusion/enamel defects. Occlusal caries were detected by fluorescence videoscanning, whereas body composition and energy balance were estimated with plicometry, predictive equations, and handgrip. Statistically significant correlations (Pearson r coefficient) were found between the number of occlusal caries and anthropometric indexes predicting insulin resistance (IR) in relation to the abdominal/visceral fat mass, fat-free mass, muscular strength, and energy expenditure adjusted to the fat and muscle stores. This indicated a role for IR in affecting dentin reparative processes. Consistently, in vitro administration of MYO to HUVEC and Swiss NIH3T3 cells in concentrations corresponding to those administered in vivo to reduce IR resulted in statistically significant cell replication (ANOVA/Turkey tests), suggesting that MYO has the potential to counteract inhibitory effects of IR on dental vascular and stromal cells turnover. Finally, in in silico experiments, quantitative evaluation (WOE and information value) of a bioinformatic Clinical Outcome Pathway confirmed that in vitro trophic effects of MYO could be transferred in vivo with high predictability, providing robust credence of its efficacy for oral health.

Conclusion

Our reverse bed-to-benchside data indicate that MYO might antagonize the detrimental effects of IR on tooth decay. This provides feasibility for clinical studies on MYO as a regenerative factor in dentistry and oral surgery, including dysmetabolic/aging conditions, bone reconstruction in oral destructive/necrotic disorders, dental implants, and for empowering the efficacy of a number of tissue engineering methodologies in dentistry and oral surgery.

The participation of a diverse –in terms of geography, discipline and gender– group of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in the peer review process can help alleviate the workload of senior researchers and counteract the perceptual biases that the latter tend to show. Moreover, ECRs can benefit from developing skills that are often not included in educational programs. From 2018 to 2021, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists, in collaboration with other associations, organized six group reviews of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports by a total of more than 600 ECRs from over 70 different countries. This study aims to evaluate this group review in terms of its contribution to the production of scientific knowledge, and as a career development opportunity for ECRs. The data analyzed consists of application forms, review comments, and feedback surveys that were collected during each review process. The results of this study show that, overall, the group reviews were a success in terms of the experience of ECRs and their contribution to the peer review of the IPCC reports. Most survey respondents considered the general organization of the group reviews satisfactory and expressed interest in participating in future group reviews. However, most participants did not engage in discussions with their peers, which constitutes a missed opportunity to engage in active learning and the shared production of knowledge. ECRs made a significant contribution to the review of the IPCC reports by producing an average of 2,422 ± 532 comments per group review, 36% of which were substantive. PhD students were shown to be as proficient reviewers as postdoctoral researchers and faculty reviewers. More importantly, the diversity of reviewers in terms of geography and discipline, together with the fact that they are ECRs, can help produce more balanced scientific reports since they bring new perspectives, thus counteracting the biases that senior researchers have. These group reviews could be improved by providing more comprehensive training and facilitating communication among reviewers so that they can engage in meaningful exchanges. We conclude that the IPCC should formalize the inclusion of ECRs in future reviews of the IPCC reports.
Communicating change: a multimodal critical discourse analysis of China’s poverty reduction posters
Authors: Liu Wenyu , Du Chengcheng , Liu Fengguang
Published: July 2024

This study conducts a Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis guided content analysis of 56 Chinese government-sponsored poverty reduction posters across three historical stages since the founding of the People’s Republic of China to understand visual strategies, represented participants, and thematic shifts. Initially, visual strategies focus on action-oriented, collective agricultural activities. Over time, they shift to highlighting technological advancements and individual achievements, using “offer” images and various perspectives to engage viewers. Early posters predominantly feature peasants and collective groups, later expanding to include individuals and technological symbols, reflecting China’s socio-economic reforms. The thematic shifts move from collective efforts to targeted, locally-tailored strategies and the principle of “teaching people to fish,” mirroring broader socio-political transformations. This evolution underscores the role of visual media in shaping public understanding and garnering support for national policies. By highlighting the dynamic interaction between visual elements and socio-political contexts, the study reveals how government-sponsored media has adapted to effectively communicate the progress and objectives of China’s poverty alleviation efforts.
A discovery of nanoscale sulfide droplets in MORB glasses: implications for the immiscibility of sulfide and silicate melts
Authors: Zuo Lei , Zhang Peng , Wang Ya-qin , Liu Rui
Published: July 2024

Sulfur forms an immiscible liquid upon saturation in magma, and sulfide droplets are commonly found in fresh mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the fine-grained and weakly phyric MORB samples exhibited hypocrystalline to vitreous textures. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of MORB glasses exhibits nanoscale sulfide droplets (10–15 nm) with rounded shapes and smooth edges, showing crystalline and homogeneous composition. Elemental distribution included S, Fe, Cu, and Ni, while Si, Al, and O were lacking. Prior research clarified the immiscibility between sulfide and silicate melts, impacting the size distribution of sulfide droplets. This is the first report on nanoscale sulfide droplets within MORB glasses, and these results suggest that nanoscale sulfide droplets represent the initial phase of sulfide saturation. Such an insight may prove useful in understanding how siderophile and chalcophile elements behaved during sulfide crystallization. In addition, this study determines the immiscibility of sulfides and silicate melts that occur in the early nanometer stage. Therefore, it is speculated that immiscibility phenomena may occur in the nanometer stage during magma evolution.

Whether mudstone is rich in or free of organic matter has a great influence on the occurrence of water. Comparing different types of water in organic-rich and organic-free mudstones is helpful for further understanding the role of water in hydrocarbon generation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) afford the opportunity to identify the mass change, reactions and products of the sample in a real-time monitored heating process. This study compared the pyrolysis characteristics of an organic-rich mudstone (CN1) and an organic-free mudstone (CW1) by using the TGA/DTA-MS method to estimate the content of different types of H2O and CO2in organic-rich mudstones. The results show that the mass changes in CN1 and CW1 can be divided into the three thermogravimetric (TG) stages of 0°C–200°C, 200°C–650°C, and 650°C–900°C, while the peak temperatures of H2O and CO2obtained through MS are different for CN1 and CW1. The differences in mineral components and organic matter between CN1 and CW1 suggest that the MS peaks of H2O and CO2in CW1 are mainly influenced by clay and carbonate minerals, and that those of CN1 are also influenced by organic matter. In addition, quantification equations for CO2and H2O contents from both the organic and inorganic origin of the organic-rich mudstone can be established by using the MS peak area of CO2and H2O, mass loss in TGA and the mineral composition of the organic-free mudstone. This work provides useful insights for further understanding the hydrocarbon generation mechanism, as well as quantifying different types of water in organic-rich mudstones.

The most widely used equation to calculate water saturation or suitable shaly water saturation in clean or shaly formation, respectively, is the modified Archie formula. The quality of Archie parameters including saturation exponent affects the preciseness of water saturation, and thus estimated oil and gas in place. Therefore, estimating the saturation exponent by the soft computation methods deems to be necessary. In this study, intelligent models such as multilayer perceptron neural network, least squares support vector machine, radial basis function neural network, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system are developed to predict saturation exponent in terms of petrophysical data including porosity, absolute permeability, water saturation, true resistivity, and resistivity index by utilizing a databank for middle east oil and gas reservoirs. The introduced models are optimized using particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and levenberg marquardt techniques. Graphical and statistical methods are used to demonstrate the capability of the constructed models. Based on the statistical indexes obtained for each model, it is found that radial basis function neural network, multilayer perceptron neural network, and least squares support vector machine are the most robust models as they possess the smallest mean squared error, root mean squared error and average absolute relative error as well as highest coefficient of determination. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis indicates that water saturation has the most effect and porosity has the least effect on the saturation exponent. The developed models are simple-to-use and time-consuming tools to predict saturation exponent without needing laboratory methods which are tedious and arduous.

Through the examination of calcite twins, this research outlines the tectonic development and paleo stress patterns of the Paleozoic Routshon complex situated in the southeastern segment of the Sanandaj–Sirjan zone, a hinterland region of the Zagros orogeny in southeastern Iran. The study of orogenic phase indicates that the deformation event affecting the southern sector of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone aligns with the Cimmerian orogenic phase of the Late Triassic period. A variety of structural features at both map and outcrop scales highlight the importance of slip partitioning in the structural evolution of this region, driven by inclined transpression. Observations suggest that the deformation related to contractional components includes steeply to moderately plunging folds, dip-slip domain deformation primarily involving thrusts, and ongoing deformation by strike-slip component motion, which results in thrust-related ductile shear zones. The analysis of calcite c-axis fabrics from mylonite samples obtained from these shear zones indicates a low-temperature monoclinic pattern of non-coaxial deformation. This deformation type underscores the impact of the strike-slip component in the development of progressive simple shear within thrust-related shear zones in this segment of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Dynamic analysis of c-axis fabric data reveals a NE-SW orientation for the principal compressive axes (σ1) in this area. This direction, corroborated by additional data such as fault surface, GPS, and earthquake focal mechanism data, confirms that the orientation of the compressive axes (σ1) has remained consistent from the Late Triassic to the present.
