Published: September 2024

Urinothorax, an uncommon condition characterized by urine accumulation in the pleural space, poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its rarity and potentially life-threatening consequences if not promptly addressed. We present a case of a 79-year-old female with a history of chronic kidney disease, hypertensive cardiopathy, arrhythmia, and type 2 diabetes, who presented with hemi-thoracic pain and dyspnea. Initial evaluation revealed a large left pleural effusion, later confirmed as urinothorax secondary to emphysematous pyelonephritis. The diagnostic process involved thoracic drain placement, laboratory tests, and imaging studies, including chest and abdominal CT scans. The underlying mechanism of urinothorax in this case was attributed to obstructive renal dilation causing perirenal inflammation, leading to weakened diaphragmatic barriers facilitating urine transmigration into the pleural space. Management strategies focused on treating the obstructive uropathy and relieving the underlying genitourinary tract pathology. Despite these efforts, the patient succumbed to severe sepsis. Our case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and management of urinothorax, especially in patients with urinartract disorders or recent abdominal surgeries. While urinothorax is a rare entity, clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion to prevent delays in treatment, recognizing that timely intervention is crucial for favorable outcomes. Further research is warranted to elucidate optimal management strategies and improve prognosis in such cases.

Published: September 2024

This paper proposes a new high-gain Buck-Boost DC-DC converter, specifically designed for micro-grid applications where efficient voltage and power management is crucial. Traditional boost converters, such as those with switched inductors or capacitors, face limitations in voltage gain due to extreme operating cycles, leading to issues like reverse recovery, high conduction losses, and electromagnetic interference. Isolated converters, such as fly-back or push-pull converters, while effective at overcoming these constraints, introduce losses due to leakage inductance and overvoltage. With the rise of micro-grids and photovoltaic (PV) systems requiring high voltage gain due to their low output voltage, the proposed Buck-Boost DC-DC converter stands out for its ability to provide high output voltages while accommodating a wide range of input voltages. The converter is designed to handle input voltages ranging from 7V to 75V and uses pulse-width modulation (PWM)-based control to precisely regulate the output. Additionally, it incorporates advanced protection mechanisms with the LM5050-1, providing reverse input voltage protection and reduced quiescent current (IQ), ensuring enhanced safety and improved energy efficiency. Experimental results show that this Buck-Boost DC-DC converter significantly improves power management in microgrids, offering a reliable solution for renewable energy distribution systems and standalone networks. Its flexibility, robustness, and advanced protection features make it ideal for meeting the needs of next-generation power grids.

Published: September 2024

Considering the rapid, often unpredictable and unfavorable course of anaphylaxis, early recognition of the signs of this emergency and immediate provision of first aid (FA) by the victims themselves or by the witnesses before the arrival of emergency medical services are of exceptional and sometimes of vital importance. Trends towards an increase in the incidence of anaphylaxis and the actual increase in the number of hospitalizations due to complications of severe allergic reactions indicate the high relevance of the problem and the need to establish a reliable organizational basis to ensure the widespread practice of providing FA for anaphylaxis in the Russian Federation. This research aimed to review current international and national guidelines on the provision of FA for anaphylaxis and to identify possible areas for improving the organization of FA for anaphylaxis in Russia. According to the authors’ opinion, the application of evidence-based provisions presented in the current FA guidelines to real-life FA practice can significantly improve outcomes in anaphylaxis, but at the same time requires some basic organizational changes. The priority directions in organizing the provision of FA for anaphylaxis in the Russian Federation are the development and approval by the Ministry of Health of Russia of a uniform procedure for the provision of FA for anaphylaxis, including a list of measures for the provision of FA and the sequence of their application; creating conditions for standardized training of the population in the principles and methods of providing FA; and ensuring the general availability of epinephrine in the form of autoinjectors as a first-line treatment to prevent life-threatening complications of anaphylaxis.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to develop a method for species identification of 7 species of clostridia using multiplex real-time PCR. The paper presents the results of the development of a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for species identification of seven species of cattle clostridia. The results showed that clostridiosis is widespread in livestock farms of the Siberian Region, manifests itself in various clinical forms and depends on the type of pathogens and their associations. Using classical bacteriological methods, 510 samples of biomaterial from animals from seven regions of Siberia were examined. As a result, 50 isolates of clostridia of various species were isolated and identified using biochemical methods. To confirm species identity, a multiplex real-time PCR was developed that allows detection and typing of seven species of clostridia: C. sporogenes, C. perfringens, C. sordellii, C. histolyticum, C. septicum, C. chauvoei and C.novyi in mixed and pure bacterial cultures with a high degree of specificity. The sensitivity of the developed PCR in the study of artificially synthesized positive control samples was
7.2∙10–3.2∙102 GE, and in the study of pure cultures – 102–103 CFU/ml. The specific reaction was only with clostridia of its own species, but not with clostridia of other species or other types of bacteria. High specificity of the use of real-time PCR was demonstrated, allowing for the simultaneous detection of clostridia in mixed and pure bacterial cultures, which makes it a promising method in the laboratory diagnostics of various forms of cattle clostridiosis.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to analyze various extraction methods aimed at obtaining pea protein isolate, to develop a technology for obtaining pea protein isolate using the soft fractionation method. Objectives: to analyze the chemical composition of yellow field peas (Pisum sativum L.); to determine the optimal conditions for obtaining pea protein isolate; to study the physicochemical properties of the obtained pea protein isolate and to determine its biological value. The object is pea beans harvested in 2023 and the isolate obtained from them using the soft fractionation method. In order to determine the relevance of the study on the use of pea protein isolate as a high-protein component of the diet and an alternative to animal proteins, an analysis of the market and the total turnover of this product was carried out, showing an increase in sales of pea isolate in Europe in recent years by 1.2 times, respectively. Analysis of the chemical composition of the raw material showed a total water content of 9–14 %, protein 22–24, fat 1.2–2 and starch 41–46 % per 100 g of product. In order to preserve the overall protein structure and properties, soft filtration was chosen to obtain the isolate. This is a gentle method for obtaining protein, despite the partial reduction in functional properties, by combining crushed seeds with water, followed by filtration of the suspension and drying the resulting dry residue. The resulting pea protein isolate contains 5 % water, 88 % protein, 0.9 % fat and 1% starch compared to the original raw material. The content of essential amino acids in this isolate shows the advantage of the studied sample with FAO/WHO reference indicators. For example, the content of phenylalanine and tyrosine in the plant protein isolate exceeds that of 52 mg/g protein, and lysine by 17 mg/g protein. The results indicate the possibility of using pea protein isolate as a high-protein component for the production of food products with increased nutritional value.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to investigate the properties of fish broths of various concentrations and to assess the possibility of placing a raw ingredient made of whole-grain sprouted wheat flour in this food system. The objects of the study were broths obtained from secondary raw materials of Atlantic cod (back bones with meat trimmings and gill-free heads with minor meat trimmings); the plant raw ingredient was obtained from soft spring wheat grain of the 4th class manufactured by OOO Biozerno. The quality indicators of the samples were assessed according to generally accepted testing methods, all determinations were carried out in triplicate. Depending on the selected concentration, the obtained broth samples had a color range from rich dark yellow to light yellow, a pleasant fishy taste and aroma, and moderate transpa¬rency. The mass fraction of protein varied in the range of 3.6–1.9 %. To preserve the properties and quality of the developed broths of various concentrations, it is proposed to freeze them at a temperature of –18 °C in a volume of 100–200 ml, followed by vacuuming and storage in a freezer for no more than 6 months. The use of an integrated approach and the production of a ready-to-eat product were implemented by introducing a plant-based raw ingredient from sprouted wheat grain in the amount of 10, 15 and 20 % into experimental samples of fish broth. The spread of the viscosity of the resulting food system from 2.63 ± 0.32 to 1.10 ± 0.22 will allow each consumer to individually select the concentration of the broth and the amount of the introduced raw ingredient to obtain the organoleptic properties of the ready-to-eat product that best suits their consumer preferences.

Published: September 2024

Currently, many food and feed additives are being developed and used all over the world to enhance nutritional and biological value, consumer properties, when included in food and feed products. The purpose of the study is to identify promising areas for using soybeans in food and feed products based on the collection and analysis of scientific literature. Scientists have created a number of additives and products based on soybeans for food and feed purposes. These include additives obtained by physical, chemical and biotechnological transformation of soybeans, fruits, grains and other plant materials. In this case, the processes of grinding, heat treatment, extraction, coagulation, germination, drying and others are used. The most widely known methods are those for obtaining dried soybean food and feed additives of varying degrees of grinding, combined with other plant materials. A special place is given to the use of soy milk as an inexpensive high-protein product that can replace the milk of mammals. For humans, soy milk is a good alternative to whole milk as a valuable nutritious product that eliminates allergies to casein or lactose. Including soy milk in the diet of farm animals promotes their full growth and development. Soybean oil, by-products of its production (meal, cake, grits), soy flour, as well as concentrates, soy protein isolates, soy molasses and others are widely used to enrich food and feed. There are developments using sprouted soybeans, which after preparation are dried and ground into flour. Such enriching additives are designed to solve the problem of deficiency of macro- and micronutrients in human nutrition and feeding of farm ani¬mals and poultry.

Published: September 2024

The aim of research is to establish patterns of changes in biological and agrochemical parameters of meadow-chernozem soil with long-term use of resource-saving treatments and chemicalization means in the conditions of the southern forest-steppe of Western Siberia. Stationary studies were conducted in the forest-steppe of the Omsk Region in a grain-fallow crop rotation (fallow – wheat – peas – wheat – barley) under a pea crop at the Omsk Agricultural Research Center. The parameters of changes in the number of individual physiological groups of microorganisms and indicators of biological activity of meadow-chernozem soil under peas were established using agricultural technologies with different levels of intensification, including the minimum-zero tillage system in crop rotation. It was determined that when using complex chemicalization agents in combination with No-till technology of soil cultivation, the activity of bacteria capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen increased by 34 %, saprotrophic and amylolytic microorga¬nisms – by 13 and 17 % in relation to the control, respectively. The activity of the oxidation-reduction enzyme catalase when using intensification agents, regardless of the technology of pea cultivation, decreased to 28 % of the control. The use of intensification agents led to an increase in the content of nitrate nitrogen in the soil during the budding period, mobile phosphorus by 4 or more times. When assessing the anthropogenic impact on soil microflora, we used the definition of total biological activity, including all the studied biological tests in relative percentages. According to this indicator, soil cultivation options are arranged in a row in ascending order: combined < moldboard < minimum-zero.

Authors: Martynova Marina , Murtaev Valeriy
Published: September 2024

The objective of the study is to conduct a forestry-melioration assessment of the field-protective forest strips (FPFS) on an erosion-hazardous group of arable lands and hayfields. The objects of the study were FPFS and herbaceous vegetation in the Iudinskaya foothill steppe of Khakassia. The work used the integral assessment of meliorative indicators of E.S. Pavlovsky and the scale for assessing the sanitary condition of trees. The studies showed that in the southern rows the trees were weakened or healthy, in the central and northern ones – weakened, very weakened or drying out. FPFS had the height and structures necessary for a good melioration function: openwork, openwork-blown; massive protective planting – dense. The preservation of plantings in FPFS was average and amounted to from 55.0 to 70.5 %, in massive protective planting – low (34.7 %). The planting species were optimal in terms of composition: Ulmus pumila L., Betyla pendula Roth, Populus sp. The tree height was noted as maximum in these forest gro¬wing conditions. Fine earth deposits were not found in any of the surveyed forest plantations. Soil sodding was characterized as weak, medium or strong. Grasses dominated in phytocenoses. The total projective cover of the grass stand was 40–90 %. Forestry-melioration assessment of four FPFS was 4 a; one – 5 a. Despite the poor sanitary condition of trees in individual rows, the stands, due to their optimal design, performed their meliorative functions, prevented soil deflation in the fields and created an ecological framework for the agrolandscape on agricultural lands. Ulmus pumila has reached a critical age and reforestation felling must be carried out in its stands.

From Cuba to the World: The Ripple Effect of US Sanctions
Authors: - Diva Zalani
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the complex and enduring application of U.S. economic sanctions on Cuba, the longest-standing sanctions regime in modern history. Economic sanctions, a prominent tool of international diplomacy, are designed to influence or penalize states to achieve specific political objectives. The study offers a comprehensive historical overview of the sanctions imposed on Cuba since the Cuban Revolution of 1959. It examines the key phases of the embargo, including its escalation under various U.S. administrations and its multifaceted impacts on Cuban domestic affairs and international trade.
Through a detailed analysis, this paper reveals that, while the sanctions aimed to induce regime change, their effectiveness has been ambiguous. Domestically, U.S. political dynamics, particularly the influence of Cuban-American voters and shifting political agendas, have significantly shaped the persistence and intensity of the sanctions. Furthermore, the study highlights how the sanctions have impacted global trade dynamics, illustrating that the U.S. has maintained a quasi-monopolistic advantage in the Cuban market while ostensibly addressing humanitarian concerns.
The findings indicate that the sanctions on Cuba, rather than being a straightforward case of failure, have provided strategic benefits to the U.S. despite their limited success in achieving their primary political goals. This nuanced perspective sheds light on the broader implications of economic sanctions and their role in international relations.
Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis and Respiratory Distress in a Newborn with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: A Case Report
Authors: Nasution Uji Kuatro , Suwardi
Published: September 2024

Background: A congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a severe birth defect where abdominal organs protrude into the chest cavity through a hole in the diaphragm, often leading to respiratory distress. Neonates with CDH are also at an increased risk of developing early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) due to impaired lung development and immune function. This case report describes the challenges in managing a newborn with CDH who developed EOS and respiratory distress shortly after birth.
Case presentation: A 2-day-old infant presented with respiratory distress, including tachypnea, grunting, and retractions. The infant was born full-term via cesarean section with Apgar scores of 5, 7, and 8 at 1, 5, and 10 minutes, respectively. Physical examination revealed decreased breath sounds, dullness to percussion, and decreased fremitus on the left side of the chest. A chest X-ray showed intestinal gas in the left thoracic cavity, confirming the diagnosis of CDH. Laboratory investigations revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutrophilia, lymphocytopenia, and hypocalcemia, suggesting EOS. The infant was admitted to the neonatal high care unit (HCU) and received respiratory support with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and was kept nil per os (NPO). A laparotomy was planned to repair the diaphragmatic hernia. On day 3, the infant developed signs of sepsis and was started on antibiotics. After stabilization, the infant was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for definitive surgical repair. Post-operatively, the infant received antibiotics, analgesics, and supportive care.
Conclusion: This case highlights the complexities of managing newborns with CDH and EOS. Early recognition and prompt intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in these critically ill infants.

The Impact of Soft-Sell Appeal in TikTok on the Attitude towards the Ads
Authors: Monesa Flavegi , Simanjuntak Evi Rinawati
Published: September 2024

This research analyses the impact of soft-sell advertising dimensions (image, feeling, and implicitness) on TikTok’s viewers’ purchase intentions through a positive attitude toward the ads. While many studies about soft-sell appeals, this research adds external validity to those studies by using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework in the context of soft-selling in TikTok short videos. Since TikTok is now used for selling, the short video advertisements may drive purchase intention. We used a quantitative survey method with social media users in Indonesia. Data were collected using non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling method. We collected 209 usable responses and tested the hypothesis using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4.0. Findings show that the data support all four hypotheses; the three soft-sell dimensions drive a positive attitude toward the ad and positively impact purchase intention. While all three soft-selling dimensions drive the positive attitude toward the ad, image plays the most crucial role. The study contributes to understanding advertising theory, especially theories about message appeal affecting viewers’ behaviour, offering practical implications for advertising content creators.

The article is devoted to the discussion of approaches to addressing the issue of the admissibility of using evidence in administrative liability cases for non-compliance with the orders of control (supervisory) authorities in the courts of general jurisdiction, which have procedural irregularities. Based on the analysis of theoretical provisions, current legislation regulating relations in the field of control (supervisory) proceedings, and judicial practice materials, the author substantiates the necessity of applying a differentiated approach to assessing the admissibility of evidence in this category of cases. Conclusions are drawn regarding the need for classifying law violations by an official of the control (supervisory) authority when receiving evidence as substantial and insubstantial, remediable and irremediable, and recommendations for improving legislation in this area have been formulated.
Reconciliation of Parties to Administrative Proceedings: Issues of Theory and Practice

The article analyzes the concept of administrative proceedings, by which the author understands not only the resolution of certain categories of cases according to the rules of the Code of Admi­nistrative Proceedings of the Russian Federation, but also the activities of arbitration courts in considering and resolving cases arising from administrative and other public legal relations. The common nature of these types of cases predetermines the need for uniform procedural features of their resolution. For example, the question of the possibility of concluding a settlement agreement in public law disputes is debatable. Based on the norms of the current substantive and procedural legislation, clarifications of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and established judicial practice, the impossibility of concluding a settlement agreement (reconciliation agreement) by the parties to an administrative or other public law conflict is argued. At the same time, the possibility of reconciliation of participants in controversial private law relations, one of which is a public legal entity, is indicated

Nanopolymers represent a significant group of delivery vehicles for hydrophobic drugs. In particular, dual stimuli-responsive smart polymer nanomaterials might be extremely useful for drug delivery and release. We analyzed the possibility to include the known antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX), which has antimitotic and antiproliferative effects, in a nanopolymer complex. Thus, doxorubicin-loaded temperature- and pH-sensitive smart nanopolymers (DOX-SNPs) were produced. Characterizations of the synthesized nanostructures were carried out including zeta potential measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The loading capacity of the nanopolymers for DOX was investigated, and encapsulation and release studies were carried out. In a final step, the cytotoxicity of the DOX–nanopolymer complexes against the HeLa cancer cell line at different concentrations and incubation times was studied. The DOX release depended on temperature and pH value of the release medium, with the highest release at pH 6.0 and 41 °C. This effect was similar to that observed for the commercial liposomal formulation of doxorubicin Doxil. The obtained results demonstrated that smart nanopolymers can be efficiently used to create new types of doxorubicin-based drugs.

Trifluoromethoxylated molecules and selenylated compounds find a wide range of interesting applications, but separately. In order to combine the potential of these two motifs and to propose a new class of compounds, we have developed an electrophilic phenylseleno trifluoromethoxylation of alkenes, which leads to β-selenylated trifluoromethoxylated compounds or, upon subsequent reduction, to the trifluoromethoxylated ones.
