Published: February 2025

This study focuses on assessing the vulnerability of households in Phong Nha town, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province to flood hazard. A set of 23 indicators for assessing vulnerability to flood was proposed based on three components: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The study area, famous for the Phong Nha-Ke Bang World Heritage Site, has been severely affected by floods. A substantial 81% of households experienced flood damage in 5 recent years in 2019-2023. In particular, the October 2020 flood devastated 85% of households in the town. The study results showed 39% of households have children under five years old and above 65 years old. Regarding adaptive capacity, 56% of interviewed households have basic mitigation tools and only 9.0% actively participate in disaster prevention training course and 4% have property insurance. The values of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity are 0,67; 0.32; 0.37 in scale 0-1, respectively. The quantitative assessment of the vulnerability of households in Phong Nha town to flood hazard is 0.62 on the scale of -1 and +1, indicating a relatively high level of vulnerability. The results provide a basis for managers to strengthen measures to improve local people's adaptive capacity in preparing for disaster prevention in general and floods in particular.

Introduction: In this study, ZnS nanoparticles were decorated on SiO2 nanospheres via coprecipitation and the Stӧber method.

Methods: The materials were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nano scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence spectra (PL).

Results: ZnS nanoparticles exhibit a sphalerite structure with an average particle size of 2.8 nm and SiO2 in the form of 115 nm nanospheres. The absorption spectrum of these nanoparticles displays a prominent band peaking at 320 nm. Additionally, at 300 K, the PL spectrum of ZnS reveals a broad band, comprising two component bands with peaks at 470 nm and 491 nm, attributed to lattice defects such as zinc and sulfur vacancies, interstitials, and surface states. Upon decorating ZnS nanoparticles on the surface of SiO2 nanospheres, the UV‒Vis absorption and PL spectra of ZnS shift toward longer wavelengths. The maximum peak of the UV‒vis spectrum shifted from 322 to 328 nm, and two bands in the PL spectrum slightly changed to 472 and 494 nm.

Conclusion: The shifts in the UV‒vis and PL spectra are due to alterations in the surface states of the ZnS nanoparticles induced by the presence of SiO2. From the dependence of the PL spectra of ZnS nanopartcles and SiO2-decorated ZnS on the measured temperature from 10 to 300 K, the activation energies of ZnS and SiO2-decorated SiO2 were estimated to be 38 and 40 meV, respectively.

Introduction: According to a survey of the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) in Vietnam in 2015, glaucoma is the third most common cause of blindness after cataracts and fundus diseases, with a rate of 4%. Worldwide, studies on primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) have revealed approximately 50 genes and many related gene variants. In primary angle-closure glaucoma, COL11A1 was identified as one of the eight genes with the most important role related to the disease. There have been many studies analyzing gene mutations associated with eye diseases in Vietnam, but few studies have been conducted on PACG. Therefore, we focused on detecting some gene variants of COL11A1 in patients with PACG in several military hospitals.

Methods: Blood samples from 30 patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma were clinically evaluated. Total DNA was extracted from the samples using a mixture of phenol, chloroform, and isoamyl alcohol (PCI). Primer design to multiply COL11A1 gene segments based on reference gene sequences published on NCBI. The designed gene fragment was amplified by PCR on a thermocycler. After electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel, the PCR products were purified using GenJET PCR purification kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. Gene sequencing was performed by Sanger sequencing. The obtained sequences were processed and compared with published sequences in the International Gene Data Bank using BioEdit software.

Results: In 12/30 patients, the rs12138977 (C>T) variant of the COL11A1 gene, which is a mutation in the intron region, was detected. The rs12138977 variant is thought to be related to disease severity. In the exon region of the COL11A1 gene, the rs1676486 (A>G) variant was detected in 21/30 patient samples. At the mutation site, the Ser residue at position 1535 changes to a Pro.

Conclusion: Although we have identified some alterations in COL11A1 genes, further investigation is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and patient-specific and clinical manifestations associated with these variants. These findings contribute to the understanding of the genetic basis of primary angle-closure glaucoma, with the hope of supporting the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in Vietnam.

Published: February 2025

Relevance. Holstein dairy cattle are being bred in the Sverdlovsk region, and its improvement is underway to select and select the best for further breeding, including by increasing the bloodline of the Holstein breed. The aim of the work was to assess the milk productivity of cows of the modern Holstein breed with different blood levels obtained and used in the conditions of the Middle Ural.

Methods. To conduct the study in a typical breeding reproducer for the region, an analysis of changes in the productive qualities of cows and the duration of productive use, depending on the bloodline of the Holstein breed, was carried out. The dairy productivity of cows was assessed according to the periods of lactation activity – average, for 305 days and maximum lactation, as well as by lifetime milk yield. Milk yield — by control milking once a month. The fat and protein content in milk was assessed in an average milk sample once a month from each cow.

Results. An increase in milk yield was found during the average lactation and for 305 days of lactation with an increase in blood supply according to Holstein. Moreover, for average lactation, this increase is observed until the Holstein level reaches 96.1%, and a further increase in blood supply led to a decrease in this indicator by 438.9 kg or 7.3%. Milk yield for 305 days of lactation increases with an increase in blood content to reach 96.9% blood content, which is explained by an increase in the genetic potential of animals. The indicators of maximum milk yield begin to decrease with an increase in blood supply from 96.1%, confirming the increased typing of animals according to productive characteristics and a decrease in the diversity of this trait in the herd. With an increase in Holstein blood supply, there is a sharp decrease in lifetime milk yield from 18701.5±357.42 kg (blood content 93.8%, group 1) to 10889.0±280.07 kg (blood content 96.9%, group 4), which corresponds to 41.8%. An increase in blood supply from 93.8 to 96.9% led to a decrease in the age of culling and, accordingly, the duration of productive use from 3 lactation to 1.8, that is, almost twofold.

The research is exploratory and was carried out within the framework of scientific research at the Ural State Agrarian University (state registration No. AAAAA-A19-1191014000069).

Authors: Svazlyan G. A. , Popov V. S.
Published: February 2025

Relevance. The dietary supplements containing active metabolites of a consortium of probiotic microorganisms are important in regulating the formation and colonization of the gastrointestinal tract.

Methods. The object of the research was calves 3–90 days old. They received a liquid biologically active additive, which includes the following components: extract of sprouted naked oats — 90%; molasses beetroot — 10%; metabolites of probiotic microorganisms B. bifidum strain — 1; L. plantarum for the formation of the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract (3–42 days) and B. subtilis strain DSM-32424 for regulation calves’ body metabolism (42–90 days).

Results. In the regulation of the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract of calves (3–42 days), the determining factor is the use of probiotic microorganisms B. bifidum strain — 1, L. plantarum in a feed additive. The study found that before the start of the experiment, the number of bifidobacteria in the intestines of calves of the two groups was 3.1 × 106 CFU/g, lactobacilli — 3.5 × 105 CFU/g.

The dynamics of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the control and experimental groups has a positive tendency to increase with the age periods of calves. In the experimental group of calves, the indicators of the number of lactoand bifidobacteria on day 42 were: Lactobacillus spp. — 4.2 × 109 CFU/g; Bifidobacterium spp. — 3.2 × 109 CFU/g.

The regulation of metabolism is associated with the additional intake of protein-forming amino acids into the body, which positively affect metabolism and increase animal body weight gain. In calves from the 3rd to the 42nd day of life, who received dietary supplement 1 for the formation of the microbiome, the average daily weight gain was significantly higher — by 21.70%. In calves that received dietary supplements 2 for metabolic correction from day 42 to day 90, the average daily weight gain was significantly higher — by 16.58%.

Authors: Lihodeevskiy G. A. , Shanina E. P.
Published: February 2025

Relevance. The availability of organic substances and environmental pathogenicity are key factors in plant growth. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria convert phosphate to an available form, while nitrogen fixing bacteria provide nitrogen for plants. Bacterial infections can weaken plants, causing them to die or lose their crops. Modern sequencing technologies have accelerated the study of human microbial diversity.

The aim of this study was to assess the presence of phosphate solubilizing and nitrogen fixing bacteria, as well as pathogenic bacteria affecting potatoes in the cultivated areas of the Sverdlovsk region.

Methods. This article examines the characteristics of the soils in the Sverdlovsk area, their mineral and organic composition, and bacterial diversity. Studies were conducted on sodpodzolic soils where humus content, acidity levels, and nutrient content were measured. Analysis of the microbiological composition of the soil included sequencing and filtration of 16S rRNA data.

Results. It was found that bacteria involved in phosphate mobilization and nitrogen fixation make up a significant portion of the microbial community, with more than 12% accounted for by these groups. The distribution of these bacteria across fields showed no significant difference in relative abundance or species composition. Additionally, no significant correlation was found between bacterial species richness and mineral composition of soil. However, correlation analysis of relative abundances of genera Agrobacterium, Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Phyllobacteri, Arthrobater and Phylobacter revealed a significant relationship between these genera and soil acidity and total and easily hydrolysable nitrogen content. Qualitative analysis also revealed the presence of pathogenic bacteria causing potato bacteriosis such as Ralstonia solanacearu, Pectobacterium carotovaru, Liberibacter crecens, Streptomyces spp.

Authors: Kazakhmedov R. E.
Published: February 2025

Relevance. The transition of viticulture to the cultivation of grape plantations in a grafted culture has only partially solved the problem of phylloxera. Taking into account the shortcomings of the instilled culture, the problem remains urgent. In view of this, we consider it necessary to preserve and expand the indigenous grape culture. The fundamental solution to the problem should be the creation and introduction of pest-resistant genotypes based on modern advances in genetics and breeding, suitable for growing in a root crop. Currently, there are quite a lot of high-quality domestic varieties tolerant to root phylloxera and suitable for cultivation in the arsenal of domestic viticulture. native culture. Economically justified and scientifically justified ways to solve the phylloxera problem may be the introduction of pest-tolerant varieties of domestic breeding and the use of technological regulations for the use of physiologically active compounds that enhance physiological immunity and resistance of grapes to phylloxera.

Authors: Lyashchuk Yu. O. , Lizunova A. S. , Murashova E. A. , Sankin A. V. , Samarin G. N.
Published: February 2025

The paper examines the bactericidal properties of monofloral honeys of various botanical and geographical origins, conducts standard and rating qualimetric assessments of their organoleptic properties, and draws conclusions about the prospects for using various varieties of monofloral honeys in creating biologically active preparations and feed additives with antibacterial properties. Monofloral honeys were chosen as the object of the study, since they are produced by honey bees from the nectar of mainly one plant species and have a much greater stability of chemical composition than polyfloral honeys. Monofloral honeys of different years of collection, obtained under similar conditions (the same breed of bees, the same methods of production and processing, storage conditions as close to each other as possible), have fairly stable organoleptic characteristics, chemical composition, and biomedical properties. The presence of bactericidal activity relative to standard test strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), as well as organoleptic characteristics of taste, aroma and consistency of a high level, open up quite broad prospects for the use of monofloral honeys in the creation of biologically active preparations and functional feed additives. The constancy of the list of components of the chemical composition of monofloral honeys makes it possible to standardize the products being developed, which plays an important role for further research in this area and the organization of production of new biologically active preparations and functional feed additives.

Published: February 2025

Relevance. The task of objective and accurate assessment of agricultural production by various economic entities is considered relevant and important for the implementation of various public goals, for example, for monitoring the development of the industry, organizing effective state policy. In this regard, scientists strive to develop and offer for use the most accurate methods for accounting for the volumes of agricultural products produced in Russia and its regions. Despite the fact that most economists recognize the existence of the non-observed economy in the agricultural sector, scientists have not yet proposed adequate approaches to determining its scale.

Methods. The work applies statistical analysis, method of recalculation, cartographic method, and comparative analysis. The study implies a level of the non-observed economy in agriculture as a share of shadow operations of legal entities, output of peasant (farmer) enterprises and individual entrepreneurs and household farms in relation to agricultural output.

Results. The paper reveals the drift of most Russian regions towards groups with lower levels of the non-observed economy in agriculture. At the national level, its scale is also decreasing — from 46.5% in 2017 to 40.8% in 2022. These trends are primarily due to a reduction in the share of household farms in the structure of producers.

The highest level of non-observed economy prevailed in the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District, as well as in certain regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts, characterized by high unemployment and low wages. There, subsidiary household plots compensate for the lack of funds for local residents by providing them with food. In 2022, the share of the non-observed economy in relation to agricultural output exceeding 80% is noted in the republics of Tyva, Dagestan, Kalmykia, Altai, in Astrakhan Region, Trans-Baikal and Khabarovsk Territories, and Jewish Autonomous Region. Values in the range of 60–80% are typical for the republics of Karachay-Cherkessia, KabardinoBalkaria, North Ossetia — Alania, Buryatia, Khakassia, Chechnya, Kamchatka Krai, Saratov and Orenburg regions. The lowest level of non-observed economy in agriculture is mainly in the subjects of the Central, Northwestern, Volga Federal Districts. These are Belgorod, Kursk, Tula, Tambov, Oryol, Ryazan, Lipetsk, Pskov, Leningrad, Penza, Kirov regions, the Republic of Mordovia, etc.

In modern molecular biology and genetics, the study of gene expression plays a key role in understanding the mechanisms of development and functioning of living organisms. In pig farming, where breeding and genetics are important tools for improving animal productivity and resilience, gene expression analysis can provide valuable material for breeding programs. The article devoted to determining the expression of TNFAIP3, CDS1 and MTAP genes in a population of large white pigs is an in-depth study in the field of molecular genetics and animal breeding. The above-mentioned genes were selected in connection with their supposed role in regulating the immune response, metabolism and development of the body. As a result of real-time PCR analysis, differences in the expression of CDS1 (CDP-diacylglycerine synthase) genes in lung and kidney tissues were shown compared with expression in heart tissues. In addition, it was found that the expression level of the MTAR (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase) gene differs in lung and spleen tissues compared to other studied organs. The results of the study may have significant implications for pig breeding programs, as they provide information on genetic factors affecting the productivity, sustainability and quality of pig meat. In addition, the article may be of interest to a wide range of specialists in the field of molecular genetics, animal breeding and veterinary medicine, as it demonstrates the application of modern methods of molecular biology to solve urgent problems in animal husbandry.
The portrayal of the Japanese Occupation in Malaysian national history textbooks
Authors:   , Wong Sook Wei
Published: February 2025

The Japanese Occupation has occupied a significant space in national history textbooks in Malaysia, as the growth of nationalism and the movement towards independence from colonial rule in Malaya has been attributed to the Japanese Occupation. Over time, these narratives have witnessed changes to the portrayal of the experiences of the major ethnic groups in Malaysia and the actions of the various nationalist groups active during this period. This thesis examines the narratives of the Japanese Occupation found in history textbooks from the 1950s to the 2020s and the socio-political context in which these history textbooks and their corresponding syllabuses were written in. From the 1950s to the late 1970s, the Japanese Occupation narrative occupied a small, inconspicuous part of Malayan and Malaysian history textbooks, given that decolonisation in the history curriculum was nascent during this period. In 1978, the Japanese Occupation narratives expanded to become more multicultural in its representation. In 1990 and 2004, the narratives were characterised by the influence of Malay dominance (ketuanan Melayu) ideology, which resulted in Malay-centric narratives at the expense of the representation of other ethnic groups. In 2020, the narrative blended the Malay-centric approach while increasing the representation of other ethnic groups, though this blended approach invited criticism from people who saw the two as mutually exclusive. In doing so, the thesis demonstrates a link between ideology â€“ as it manifests in the political arena and in Malaysian historiography â€“ and the national history curriculum in Malaysia, which shows how cultural and ideological factors explain the changes made to the narratives in Malaysian history textbooks.

Концепція Нової української школи передбачає використання діяльнісного підходу у навчанні. Він характеризується такою організацією освітнього процесу, коли учні не отримують одразу готові знання, а здобувають їх у процесі власної навчальної діяльності. У цьому підході школярі є активними суб’єктами навчальної діяльності, а не пасивними спостерігачами. Учні мають можливість оволодіти різними методами пізнання, розвинути навички критичного мислення, навчитись розв’язувати проблемні ситуації, користуючись теоретичними знаннями. Молодший шкільний вік характеризується підвищеною допитливістю до навколишнього середовища. Діти прагнуть задовольнити свої пізнавальні потреби. При цьому зберігається інтерес до ігрової діяльності. Гра продовжує бути важливим елементом їхнього розвитку, допомагаючи розвивати соціальні навички, уяву та творчість. Освітній процес у цей період повинен бути організований таким чином, щоб поєднувати елементи гри та навчання, сприяючи активному засвоєнню знань і розвитку особистісних якостей. Так, учні граючись, навчаються. Сьогодні набувають популярності LEGO-технології – метод навчання під час якого учні отримують певні знання, будуючи та вивчаючи моделі із конструктора. Таким чином відбувається навчання через дію. Ці технології є зручними у використанні, універсальними, характеризуються високими технічними та естетичними особливостями. У статті проаналізовано визначення поняття читацької компетентності; визначено структуру та зміст читацької компетентності молодших школярів; описано сутнісні характеристики LEGO-технологій як активного освітнього інструмента.

Мета. У запропонованій статті здійснено теоретичний огляд існуючих психологічних теорій щодо травми прив’язаності та представлено результати емпіричних зрізів прояву травматичних переживань дитинства в прив’язаності дорослих. Методи. Теоретична частина роботи будувалася на основі комплексного огляду психологічних теорій на травму прив’язаності. Травма прив’язаності є відомою клінічною евристикою в психології. Однак, в психології з’явилися різні погляди на неї, що призвело до певної неоднорідності в її тлумаченні та розумінні. Тому в цій статті ми здійснили теоретичний огляд проблеми на основі традиційних досліджень прив’язаності та травми. На основі здійснених теоретичних пошуків та узагальнень було розроблено програму емпіричної перевірки визначених положень. Достовірність та надійність результатів забезпечувалася науково-методологічною обґрунтованістю дослідження, використанням адекватних поставленим завданням методів та репрезентативністю вибірки. Результати. Теорія прив’язаності є потужною основою для розуміння регуляції стосунків. Особливо цінним є розуміння впливу травматичного досвіду дитинства, пов’язаного з прив’язаністю дорослих. У цій статті ми досліджуємо роль, яку відіграє орієнтація на прив’язаність у формуванні міжособистісних трансакцій в межах близьких стосунків. Спираючись на існуючі психологічні дослідження, ми пропонуємо нові результати щодо того, як люди з різною прив’язаністю можуть довіряти, переживати самотність та сприймати якість власних близьких стосунків. Нам вдалося з’ясувати, що стосунки позитивно впливають на обох партнерів не залежно від стилю їхньої прив’язаності, є для них джерелом розвитку та ресурсу. Водночас, стосунки є важливими для дорослих з багатьох причин, оскільки вони відіграють ключову роль у фізичному, емоційному, соціальному та психологічному добробуті.
Climate change intensifies plant-pollinator mismatch and increases secondary extinction risk for plants in northern latitudes
Authors: Peng Shijia , Ellison Aaron , Davis Charles
Published: February 2025

Climate change can lead to “secondary extinction risks” for plants owing to the decoupling of life-cycle events of plants and their pollinators (i.e., phenological mismatch). However, forecasting secondary extinction risk under future climate change remains challenging. We developed a new framework to quantify plants’ secondary extinction risk associated with phenological mismatch with bees using ca. 15,000 crowdsourced specimen records of Viola species and their solitary bee pollinators spanning 120 years across the eastern United States. We further examined latitudinal patterns in secondary extinction risk and explored how latitudinal variation in plant-pollinator specialization influence this risk. Secondary extinction risk of Viola spp. increases with latitude, indicating that future climate change likely will pose a greater threat to plant-bee pollinator networks at northern latitudes. Additionally, the sensitivity of secondary extinction risk to phenological mismatch with both generalist and specialist bee pollinators decreases with latitude: specialist bees display a sharper decrease at higher latitudes. Our findings demonstrate that existing conservation priorities identified solely based on primary extinction risk directly caused by climate change may not be sufficient to support self-sustaining populations of plants. Incorporating secondary extinction risk resulting from ecological mismatches between plants and pollinators into future global conservation frameworks should be carefully considered.

Background: A fistula is defined as an abnormal connection that connects two hollow spaces of the body. Fistula are divided into two categories, internal and external. Abdominal TB can mimicks other diseases including Enterocutaneous fistula that occur due to chron’s disease, malignancy, typhoid or radiation exposure. Tuberculosis is a rare cause of enterocutaneous fistula increasing the needs of clinicians to diagnose TB in an emergency manner.
Purpose: To assess clinical manifestation of enterocutaneous fistula in patient with abdominal tuberculosis, and to determine the best emergency diagnosis tools in the progress of diagnosing abdominal tuberculosis.
Method: This literature review is guided by the PICOS framework, encompassing materials published from 2000 to 2024. Data were obtained from diverse sources such as PubMed Central, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Elsevier (SCOPUS), scientific journals, articles, and books. The analysis proceeded through three stages: data reduction, presentation, and formulation of conclusions. Studies fulfilling the inclusions criteria were selected.
Results: Patient with TB could have enterocutaenous fistula as one of its clinical manifestations, therefore. This study concludes that multiplex PCR shows an outstanding result for its specificity making it highly effective in ruling out non-tubercular diseases with minimum false positive.
Conclusion: Enterocutaneous fistula in intestinal tuberculosis often presents without clear thoracic imaging of pulmonary TB, complicating diagnosis. Abdominal TB's non-specific symptoms can mimic other diseases, making CT scans and ultrasonography useful, though not definitive. Laparoscopy, combined with histological examination, remains the most reliable diagnostic tool. Laboratory tests like ADA levels, PCR, and culture are essential in confirming the diagnosis. A diagnostic algorithm and early anti-tubercular therapy can help when test results are inconclusive.
