DOES THE “GOLDEN RATIO” ARISE IN BARUT MODEL FOR THE PARTICLE MASS SPECTRUM?
Authors: Samsonenko N. V , Haidar R. , Alibin M. A
Published: April 2022

The most well-known expressions for describing the mass spectrum of particles are studied and an attempt is made to describe the mass spectrum using the golden ratio using the Barut model. A mass formula was obtained, which does not exclude a possible connection with the golden ratio. Further development of this approach can not only confirm the effectiveness of the idea proposed by Barut, but also provide a physical interpretation of the relationship between Fibonacci numbers and the particle mass spectrum.

Features of development of visceral organs in embryos of egg cross chickens ‘Lohmann Brown’ under red and green monochromatic LED lighting
Authors: Chelnokova Marina I. , Chelnokov Andrey A.
Published: April 2022

New data on the features of development of visceral organs in embryos of egg cross chickens Lohmann Brown under red and green monochromatic LED lighting were obtained. The effect of two continuous LED lighting modes has been studied: experimental modes - r ed and green light, control - d arkness. The absolute values of weight dimensions and specific growth rate (according to the Schmalhausen-Brody formula) of heart, muscular stomach, liver of chicken embryos were estimated using morphometric methods. The studies proved that red and green LED lighting has a stimulating effect on the embryonic development of visceral organs (heart, muscular stomach, liver) in Lohmann Brown egg cross compared to the control (darkness). Under red and green LED stimulation, chicken embryos prevailed in the heart mass from the 14th to the 20th day of embryogenesis. The muscular stomach and liver of chicken embryos developed more intensively under red illumination on the 18th and 20th days, and under green illumination - a similar effect on the muscular stomach was noted on the 19th and 20th days, on the liver - o n the 20th day. It has been established that in the early ontogenesis of Lohmann Brown chickens there were several critical stages (phases). They fall on different days of development and characterize the features of rhythmicity in growth processes of visceral organs in chicken embryogenesis under LED stimulation of red and green spectrum. Chicken embryos under red and green illumination had the highest growth rate of heart on the 17th and 20th day, respectively; muscular stomach under red illumination - o n the 17th and 20th days, liver - on the 16th and 17th day under red and green illumination. By the hatching period on the 20th day, there were no differences in the development of visceral organs of chicken embryos depending on red and green light spectrum. The hatching of Lohmann Brown chicken embryos exposed to red and green light occurred on the 20th day of incubation - a day earlier than under control conditions (darkness). The proposed biological causes underlying the effect of monochromatic light of different color spectrum on embryogenesis of chicken embryo and organs are discussed.
Molecular Analysis of Parasitoid Flies Tachinidae
Authors: Arafa El-Sayed El-Hashash
Published: April 2022

The parasitoids from Tachinidae family have important role in biological control; nevertheless, the phylogenetic relationships of supra genera groups are poorly studied. Here, we present phylogenetic analyses of the family based on molecular data. 73 species of parasitoid flies belonging to 30 tachinid genera, including the four currently recognized subfamilies (Dexiinae, Exoristinae, Phasiinae, Tachininae) and 20 tribes were analyzed in the molecular study. The Tachinidae are reconstructed as a monophyletic assemblage based on morphological data and with four nonhomoplasious apomorphies (synapomorphies). Monophyly is well supported by a bootstrap value. Our morphological analysis generally supports the subfamily grouping Dexiinae + Phasiinae, while Tachininae + Exoristinae is not supported as one group, and with only the Exoristinae and the Phasiinae reconstructed as monophyletic assemblages. The Dexiinae, which were previously considered a wellestablished monophyletic assemblage (except for few studies), are reconstructed as polyparaphyletic with respect to the Phasiinae. The Tachininae are reconstructed as a paraphyletic grade, while monophyly of Exoristinae was recovered except genus Admontia Brauer Bergenstamm, which arose within subfamily Tachininae. In contrast to molecular analysis, all subfamilies are polyparaphyletic groups in which they interact with each other, with the exception of Phasiinae, which includes most of its taxa in a monophyletic group.
Waves of Media Education Development: Synchronous and Diachronic Aspects
Authors: Pugachev Maxim A.
Published: April 2022

In the context of the increasing influence of the products of the Internet field (social media, blogging) on social everyday life, media education is becoming especially relevant. The symbolic status of the audience is changing, which becomes not only a consumer, but also a producer of media content. The current stage in the development of media communications can be considered unique with some reservations. However, in the history of the XIX-XX centuries, there was a precedent, since in society periodically there were periods of a large-scale surge of interest in media literacy as the main category of media education, depending on a number of socio-cultural factors. This increase in the importance of media literacy is wave-like. The subject of this article is the waves of media education, which are considered from the standpoint of synchronicity and diachrony. A complex of methods is used: historical and cultural analysis; structural analysis; contextual analysis; secondary analysis of sociological and statistical data. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the modern media communication conditions in which the new media develop are similar to those that were in the formation of the audience of cinema and television. The Internet and, in particular, social media are no less rapidly conquering the audience. At the same time, the modern mediated world requires a high level of media competence and the development of critical thinking from society.

“Technogeneous” Imagery of Alexander Eryomenko’s Poetry in the Context of Evolution of his Romantic World Outlook
Authors: Ankudinov Kirill N.
Published: April 2022

The article deals with technogeneous imagery in the poetry of Alexander Eryomenko. In his texts of the 1984-1986 period technical and scientific images are often compared with natural objects. This topic has been understudied. Various statements have been made by philologists about the ethical dimension of this imagery. The main aim of this article is to disprove these statements. Poetic texts of the later period (1987-1989) are devoted to politics. The purpose of this article is to identify the link between the two periods of his work. The task is to reveal the ideological orientations of these periods. Poet actively opposed his art to Soviet ideology and Russian nationalists. The author of the article suggests the following thesis: the two periods correspond to two stages which show how his romantic world outlook unfolded. Alexander Eryomenko first absolutized the mechanistical nature of the outside world (Non-I), and later singled out the image of the enemy in it. In the postSoviet period (after 1991) the poet gave up both political and poetic activities. The reason for it is the exhaustion of the romantic conflict and the image of the enemy. Philology has studied the issue of the romantic world outlook in contemporary literature insufficiently. The methodology of this article reveals its potential results.

Authors: Butenko Iuliia I. , Nikolaeva Natalia S. , Kartseva Elena Yu.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the structural models of English multi-component terms from the subject area Welding types as a basis for marking the corpora of scientific and technical texts. The place of corpora of scientific and technical texts in corpus linguistics and prospects of further scientific research based on them are marked. Relevance of the research is conditioned by the necessity to create the corpus of scientific and technical texts, in general, and means of automatic marking of terms, in particular. It has been substantiated that the main problem in creating the corpus of scientific and technical texts is automatic marking of terminological word combinations. The analysis of the current state of the terminology system of the subject area Welding types has been carried out. The formal structure of elements of the Welding types terminology system is considered. The results of the analysis of two, three, four-component English terminological word combinations of the Welding types subject area and their structural models are presented. All structural models of English terminology combinations are illustrated with examples. The most productive models of English terms word combinations are highlighted. It is shown that the most productive model - the combination of a nucleus element with a noun or an adjective in the function of the prepositional definition - can be traced in two-component word combinations, but the analysis of more complex formations shows that the model of left definition attached to the term kernel is also present in them, demonstrating generic features. The necessity of enumerating all possible structural models of terminological combinations in the subject area Welding types has been substantiated. The novelty of the study is seen in the formation of a database of structural models of terminological combinations as the basis of a superstructure database on the structure of terms to improve the quality of automatic marking of the bodies of scientific and technical texts and processing of terms-candidates in the conduct of body studies.

Smoothness of Solutions to the Damping Problem for Nonstationary Control System with Delay
Authors: Adkhamova A. Sh.
Published: April 2022

We consider the damping problem for a nonstationary control system described by a system of differential-difference equations of neutral type with smooth matrix coefficients and several delays. This problem is equivalent to the boundary-value problem for a system of second-order differential-difference equations, which has a unique generalized solution. It is proved that the smoothness of this solution can be violated on the considered interval and is preserved only on some subintervals. Sufficient conditions for the initial function are obtained to ensure the smoothness of the generalized solution over the entire interval.

Authors: Denisenko Anastasia V. , Bereznyatskaya Marina A. , Kalinina Julia M.
Published: April 2022

The article describes an adapted version of the innovative technology flipped classroom, which can be used in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language, especially in the context of distance learning. The relevance of the study lies in the need to create a methodology that meets the interests of the modern generation of students and is effective in the context of remote educational process. The purpose of the research is to describe the methodology for using the flipped class technology in a foreign language audience with the use of authentic Russian films - screen adaptations of literary works. To achieve this goal, analysis, systematization, generalization, description and other methods were used. The research materials were the feature film It Cant Be! (directed by L. Gaidai, 1975), stories by M.M. Zoshchenko Galosh, Funny Adventure, Wedding Accident, the play Crime and Punishment, files with theoretical and regional information, a file with tasks, a questionnaire. The methodology has been successfully tested with foreign students of non-philological specialties. A hypothesis was put forward, the innovative technology flipped classroom was adapted to teaching Russian as foreign language in the context of distance learning, authentic films-adaptations of Russian artistic texts were selected, and a system of exercises was developed. An experiment was carried out, and then the hypothesis was corrected, taking into account the questionnaire survey and control testing of students. The main results of the study are that the use of the suggested methodology increases the efficiency of the educational process, motivation of foreign students to study the Russian language, literature, traditions of Russian native speakers, literacy of students and their linguistic and cultural competence. It also forms the ability of foreign students to self-study and self-organization, as well as to successfully conduct the educational process in a distance learning environment. The authors of the article consider it promising to use the flipped classroom technology in teaching Russian as a foreign language based on the material of linguocultural and regional studies, with the help of which students will be able to master educational information in accordance with different levels of language proficiency.
Nicknames in teaching Russian as a foreign language
Authors: Bobrova Maria V.
Published: April 2022

The question of expanding the range of linguistic units involved as a linguo-didactic material is raised in the article. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the need to use such a category of proper names as nicknames in the framework of the Russian as a foreign language course. Illustrative material mainly includes well-known, culturally significant nicknames of historical and political figures, as well as modern informal names. The relevance of the research is ensured by the fact that the selection of anthroponyms as educational materials in teaching Russian as a foreign language is not typical for the current linguistic, linguo-cultural and socio-cultural situation. In particular, there is a contradiction between the negative attitude to nicknames established in the society and their real status in the Russian anthroponymic system. Due to the underestimation of the role of nicknames in the society, this type of anthroponyms is not represented in the didactic materials on Russian as a foreign language. However, it is advisable to introduce nicknames in teaching, since they have been a fact of the Russian linguistic and cultural space throughout its existence and meet all the basic approaches of modern Russian pedagogy: competence-based, meta-subject and axiological. The descriptive-analytical method was the leading research method in the article. Nicknames are considered as a category of anthroponyms. The author shows that nicknames are a fact of linguistic and social communication, a linguistic, socio-cultural and individual psychological phenomenon. Nicknames are multifunctional: they perform nominative, identifying, differentiating, individualizing, marking, emotive, axiological, and other functions. The teacher of Russian as a foreign language taking into account the relevance, cognitive significance and communicative value of nicknames; it is necessary to distinguish them from similar categories - pseudonyms and Internet nicknames. The adequacy of the selection will be facilitated by relying on the authors classification of nicknames. Nicknames provide rich material for mastering various linguistic topics properly and establishing meta-subject connections. This approach will make it possible to overcome the separation from reality to some extent, and to improve the quality of teaching Russian to foreigners, develop their competencies, improve their linguistic personality, and introduce them to Russian culture.
Variations in noun accentuation in the speech of modern youth
Authors: Zdorikova Yulija N. , Abyzov Alexey A. , Makarova Elena N.
Published: April 2022

It is known that oral speech is nowadays the most dynamic and variable segment of the language system. The incessant changes in accent norms and their dynamics largely determine the relevance of this study. The preference issues of both the choice of the accent pattern in a particular word and the use of certain lexical units in speech by the modern youth are also relevant. This article addresses the issues of accentuation in a number of nouns that have accentuation variants. The purpose of the work is to describe accentuation in the lexemes under consideration according to modern orthoepic dictionaries, correlate the obtained results with the data of previously published orthoepic dictionaries, and also reveal preferences in accentuation in these lexemes among Russian students of two technical universities in Ivanovo - Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology and Ivanovo State Polytechnic University. An attempt to establish appropriate correlations between normative and conventional implementations of accent models of the specified group of lexical units was made. Basing on the study, the authors conclude that there was no single variant of stress in the control group of lexemes. It was found that, despite the possible variation provided by lexicographic orthoepic sources, modern students prefer to use only one variant of word stress in oral speech. Thus, a significant divergence was revealed between normative and conventional realizations of accent patterns of nouns.
Phylogenetic trees: Grammar versus vocabulary
Authors: Polyakov Vladimir N. , Makarova Elena A. , Solovyev Valery D.
Published: April 2022

Traditionally, genealogical relationships between languages are established on the basis of phonetic and lexical data. The question whether genealogical relationships among languages can be defined based on grammatical data remains unanswered. The objective of this article is to compare two phylogenetic trees: one built using the Automated Similarity Judgment Program (ASJP) project, and one using the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS). We include data from WALS representing 27 languages from 5 language families of all continents that are deemed to be sufficiently well described. A Hamming distance matrix was calculated for all languages under study, and, based on the matrix, a phylogenetic tree was built. The trees built according to WALS and ASJP data are compared with each other and with a tree built by the classical comparative historical method. Both the ASJP-based tree and the WALS-based tree have their advantages and disadvantages. The ASJP-based tree is a good reflection of the evolutionary divergence of languages. Similarities of languages as calculated based on the typological database of WALS can provide information on the history of languages both in terms of genealogical descent and contact with other languages. The ASJP-based tree reflects genealogical relationship well at a relatively small time depth, while the WALS-based tree reflects genealogical relationship well at large time intervals. We suggest a new variant of a phylogenetic tree that includes information on both the divergence (ASJP project) and the convergence (WALS project) of languages, combining the benefits of both of these trees, although the problem of borrowings remains. The present research reveals prospects for future studies of genealogical relations among languages based on large-scale descriptions of their grammatical structures.
Pragmatic and stylistic persperctives on British and American COVID-19 cartoons
Authors: Pavlina Svetlana Y.
Published: April 2022

The research aims to compare and contrast British and American visual communication texts which are based on the combination on semiotically diverse modes. Using Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis the paper explores the way a specific segment of reality - the COVID-19 pandemic - is covered in political cartoons that employ the same language but are grounded in different cultural settings. To this end, a contrastive analysis of editorial cartoons used in British and American mass media was carried out. The sample encompasses 130 British and 130 American graphical texts published in 2020-2021 on the web sites of The Guardian and U.S. News World Report . The article focuses on the way the new meaning is produced due to the interaction of visual and verbal modes using the information shared by members of a specific linguacultural community. At first the pragmatic and functional properties of the sample texts are examined, then the stylistic features of the texts verbal components are studied. Taking a functional perspective, the research reveals the marked differences in two respective samples: the British COVID-19 cartoons criticize the governments policies, whereas the American ones do not only satirize but also acclaim, creating a positive image of those responsible for vaccination production and rolling out. They tend to use slogans to mobilize the public, performing the function typical of political posters. Drawing on the stylistic analysis of linguistic resources, the paper analyzes the differences in registers and rhetorical means used by British and American cartoonists to shape their messages. Both pragmatic aspects of the cartoons and the choice of stylistic devices used in their linguistic elements proved to be culture-specific, despite the similarity of issues the texts address. The research elucidates the way the cultural landscape affects the meaning-building processes in multimodal texts that employ different variants of the same language.

Published: April 2022

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with a common denominator of hyperglycemia, arising from a variety of pathogenic mechanisms. The study aimed to evaluate the drug utilization pattern of anti-diabetic drugs in type 2 diabetic patients and to observe the efficacy associated with anti-diabetic therapy. A prospective observational study was carried out in diabetic patients visiting the department of general medicine in a tertiary care teaching hospital over six months. The patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus were identified, and all the demographic details, drug prescriptions, and clinical data of patients were collected and documented in a suitably designed case report form. Based upon the study criteria, 100 people were enrolled in the study. Among the majority of study subjects, 57% were female and 43% were males. The large numbers of diabetic patients were between the age group of 41- 60yrs. Hypertension was the most common comorbid condition. The prescription pattern showed that the majority of patients were prescribed dual therapy and about 48%, Metformin was largely prescribed anti-diabetic drug in all the prescriptions. Among combinations, metformin with glimepiride was frequently prescribed. The present study helped to find out current drug utilization patterns of oral anti-diabetic drugs with different comorbidities concerning diagnosis. Among all the anti-diabetic drugs, metformin was most commonly prescribed. In second-generation sulfonylureas, glimepiride was most commonly prescribed. The practice of metformin monotherapy is limited and it is frequently prescribed in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs. The study also highlights the need for comprehensive management of diabetic patients, including lifestyle changes, dietary control, hypoglycemic agents, cardiovascular prevention, treatment of complications, and comorbidity. Therefore, through the drug utilization patterns, attempts can be made to improve the quality and efficiency of drug therapy.

Experimental Analysis of Two Different Heating Systems Using Copper Pipe and Carbon Steel Pipe in Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Authors: KARACA Cem , OTURAK Halil
Published: April 2022

In this thesis, the experimental analysis of two different systems was carried out by using copper tube and steel tube in shell and tube heat exchangers. The experimental systems were designed and manufactured to have the same physical properties in two types of heat exchangers. Manufacturing costs were noted to enable comparison.

In the system where the experiments were carried out, only the heat exchanger bodies were replaced and the analyses were carried out and the other systems were kept constant. In order to perform an efficient analysis of the efficiency, the inlet temperature of the heater water was kept constant and it was not exposed to any recirculation or heat loss. Although it was observed that the efficiency of the copper tube heat exchanger increased significantly when the inlet water temperature was high during the experiments, there was no significant difference in efficiency between the two heat exchangers at low temperatures.

As a result of these analyses, it has been concluded that if the heat transfer is to be carried out for low temperatures, considering the cost, the carbon steel tube heat exchanger can be used despite of the high thermal conductivity of copper.

Published: April 2022

Background. The recently emerged SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant
exhibits several mutations on the spike protein, enabling it to escape
the immunity elicited by natural infection or vaccines. Avidity is the
strength of binding between an antibody and its specific epitope. The
SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds to its cellular receptor with high
affinity, and is the primary target of neutralizing antibodies.
Therefore, protective antibodies should show high avidity. This study
aimed at investigating the avidity of receptor-binding domain (RBD)
binding antibodies and their neutralizing activity against the Omicron
variant in COVID-19 patients and vaccinees. Methods. Samples
collected from COVID-19 patients and from subjects who received
homologous or heterologous vaccination were tested for the avidity of
RBD-binding IgG and neutralizing antibodies against the wild-type
SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Omicron variant. Results. In patients,
RBD-binding IgG titres against the wild-type virus increased with time,
but remained low. High neutralizing titres against the wild-type virus
were not matched by high avidity or neutralizing activity against the
Omicron variant. Vaccinees showed higher avidity than patients. Two
vaccine doses elicited the production of neutralizing antibodies, but
low avidity for the wild-type virus; antibody levels against the Omicron
variant were even lower. Conversely, 3 doses of vaccine elicited high
avidity and high neutralizing antibodies against both the wild-type
virus and the Omicron variant. Conclusions. Repeated
vaccination increases antibody avidity against the spike protein of the
Omicron variant, suggesting that antibodies with high avidity and high
neutralizing potential increase cross-protection against variants that
carry several mutations on the RBD.

analyzed for positive and boundedness, asymptotically stability of
abstention-free and abstaining equilibrium points both locally and
globally, and sensitivity analysis of model parameters based on the
fundamental reproduction number R0. Finally, numerical simulations were
carried out using the ODE45 subroutine of MATLAB to interpret using
graphs. The findings demonstrate that abstainers have a detrimental
impact on voter turnout. Now, is the time to raise voter awareness to
educate them about the value of electoral and political involvement,
protect them from the harmful effects of abstainers, and reduce the
number of those who have registered but have not voted.

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive
autoimmune disease characterized by aggressive and symmetric
polyarthritis. Our previous study showed that celastrol (Cel) protected
against RA by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, but the
molecular mechanism has not been clarified. Methods: A type II
collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) DBA/1 mouse model was used to study the
antiarthritic effects of Cel, and paw swelling, arthritis scores, serum
cytokine levels, and pathological examinations were carried out. The
effects of Cel on the fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) viability,
proliferation and migration of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced
FLSs were tested by MMT assays, EdU staining and scratch wound healing
assays. The proinflammatory factors were evaluated by ELISA. The
expression of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, p-p65, p65 and p-IκB-α was
examined in vitro and in vivo by western blotting and immunofluorescence
analysis, respectively. The putative binding sites between Cel and Hsp90
were predicted through molecular docking analysis, the Octet RED96
system and coimmunoprecipitation. Results: The results showed that Cel
decreased arthritis severity and reduced TNF-α-induced FLS migration and
proliferation. Additionally, Cel decreased the protein expression of
NLRP3, ASC, and cleaved caspase-1 and the secretion of proinflammatory
cytokines. Furthermore, Cel directly interacted with Hsp90, which
interacts with NLRP3, and Cel blocked the interaction between Hsp90 and
NLRP3 in FLSs. Conclusion: In summary, our findings demonstrate that Cel
regulates NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in vivo and in vitro. Cel inhibits
the proliferation and migration of FLSs by blocking the interaction
between Hsp90 and NLRP3, thus inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.
Applications of hidden Markov models to PM10 concentration over Seoul
Authors: Kim Hee-Young
Published: April 2022

This study addresses the problem of monitoring and forecasting of
particulate matter (PM) data. We use hourly PM10 data, collected over a
period of 3 months between October 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018, from
40 stations located in the Seoul metropolitan area of South Korea. We
model the number of regions corresponding to “bad” or “very bad”
categories of the PM10 density, using a hidden Markov model with Poisson
state-dependent distribution, since a Poisson-HMM allows for both
overdispersion and serial dependence.
Using Viruses to our Advantage to Combat Antibiotic Resistance
Authors: Kumar Ritwik
Published: April 2022

Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest public health threats we
face. Approximately 2 million infections and 23,000 deaths are a result
of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the United States every
year. It occurs when bacteria acquire immunity
to antibiotic treatments. In response, pharmaceutical companies usually
develop new or improved antibiotics. However, as consumers overuse and
misuse these treatments, multidrug-resistant bacteria with no effective
treatment(s) emerge. Unfortunately, the proliferation of such microbes
threatens to return society to pre-antibiotic era health conditions.
Fortunately, phage therapy offers a potential solution. Phage therapy
uses bacteriophages, viruses that exclusively infect bacteria, to target
and kill antibiotic-resistant microbes at infection sites. This paper
explores phage therapy and the challenges faced by researchers in
developing it. It concludes with a discussion on the importance of phage
therapy in the future on a global level.
Influenza A virus transmission in swine farms and during transport in the swine supply chain

Published: April 2022

The last influenza pandemic in 2009 emerged from swine and surveillance
of swine influenza is important for pandemic preparedness. Movement of
swine during husbandry, trade or marketing for slaughter provide
opportunities for transfer and possible genetic reassortment of swine
influenza viruses. Over 90% of the swine slaughtered at the central
swine abattoir in Hong Kong are imported from farms located in multiple
provinces in mainland China. There is opportunity for virus
cross-infection during this transport and slaughter process. Of the
26,980 swabs collected in the slaughterhouse in Hong Kong from 5
January 2012 to 15 December
2016, we analyzed sequence data on influenza A (H3N2) virus isolates (n
= 174) in conjunction with date of sampling and originating farm.
Molecular epidemiology provided evidence of virus cross-infection
between swine originating from different farms during transport and also
evidence of a virus lineage persisting in a swine farm for over 2 years.
We used virus serology and isolation data from 4,226 paired pig serum
and nasal swabs collected from swine originating from Guangdong Province
to compare the force of infection (FOI) during transport and within
farms. The mean weekly FOI during transport was λ =
0.0286 (95% CI = 0.0211-0.0391) while the weekly FOI in farms was λ
= 0.0089 (95% CI = 0.0084-0.0095), assuming a
duration of stay in farm of 28 weeks, suggesting increased force of
infection during the transport process. Potential risk factors for
infection including the duration in transport, length of stay at
slaughterhouse and farm-level seroprevalence were also assessed by
multivariable logistic regression analysis. Transport may increase virus
cross-infection rates and provide opportunities for virus reassortment
potentially increasing zoonotic risk to those involved in the
transportation and slaughtering processes.
