The oligarchization phenomenon of political power in Ukraine: from rise to decline
Authors: Rakhmanov Oleksandr
Published: February 2023

The article analyzes the oligarchization phenomenon of political power in Ukraine as a system of control by owners of large capital over state institutions. The formation of powerful national capital was facilitated by public opinion’s unacceptability of attracting foreign capital and the monetary form of privatization of state-owned enterprises. The negative attitude of the population to the consequences of privatization was used by the oligarchs to block institutional reforms, which led to the spread of corruption and manual methods of property redistribution. The collection of oligarchic rent from the profits of state-owned enterprises became an additional resource for the enrichment of large owners. The dependence of the state on the oligarchs was ensured by their total control over the sectors of the economy that provided the majority of revenues to the state budget. The oligarchs’ ownership of key mass media allowed them to manipulate public opinion, which blocked reform initiatives of the civil sector. This was facilitated by the socio-political division of Ukrainian society regarding the ways of the country's development. The decrease in the influence of large owners on the political life of Ukraine became possible due to the limitation of their mass media influence and the decline of their economic base under the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The process of de-oligarchization of political power in Ukraine is facilitated by the growth of social unity and trust in state institutions, the increase in the influence of the civil sector, and the economic support of Western countries.
Theoretical research program of transculturality: the history of formation, problems and prospects
Authors: Otreshko Natalia
Published: February 2023

In the article, there are investigated the concept and practices of transculturalism in the global world, its features and differences from the multicultural practices of developed Western countries. The first important feature of transculturalism as a new ethics is that both scientists and politicians realize the need for a purely rational (pragmatic) form of combining the goals and means of cultural coexistence. It is in rational, pragmatic dimensions that modern scientists and politicians are looking for possible ways of combining excellent value and behavioral rules without threatening the civilized world. The second important aspect of the peculiar content of the latest forms of transculturality is closely related to the social nature of a person, which is inherently based on the identification of oneself as an individual only through the prism of the reflected Other. One of the main signs of the change in the picture of the world in modern sciences is the formulation of the principles of non-classical reality based on the study of the concepts of everyday life and the theory of communications in social phenomenology. If we consider that in the modern picture of the world communication between "Own and Other" is gaining more and more importance, then in this sense it can be considered that the main feature of the cultural reality of today is not the culture as a system of values in its classical sense, but rather the cultural border and its constant crossing. Transculture is a new symbolic habitat for the human race that is about as much about culture in the traditional sense as culture is about nature.
Classics of German and World Sociology in World War I
Authors: Makeiev Serhii
Published: February 2023

The attitude of German sociologists to the First World War, which today is unconditionally included in the classical tradition, was not unambiguous. All of them shared the convictions set forth in the open letter of 93 German scientists, philosophers, historians, art critics "Toward a Cultural World", which justified Germany’s participation in the war. But the modality of sociologists’ patriotism varied within fairly wide limits. The extreme nationalist position was occupied and expressed by W. Sombart. M. Weber considered it necessary to find rational and realistic conditions for a truce acceptable to all participants in the conflict. G. Simmel adhered to the most moderate opinions, in his lectures and articles promoting Eurocentrism from the point of view of the vital interests of Germany. R. Michels, who lived and worked in Italy before and during the war, did not hide his anti-German views and sentiments.
Synonymisation of Myotis aurascens with M. davidii (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) is Premature
Authors: Dzeverin I.
Published: February 2023

Based on morphological and molecular data Benda et al. (2012) suggested that East European and West and East Asian steppe whiskered bat, Myotis aurascens Kusjakin, 1935, is conspecifi c to M. davidii (Peters, 1869) described from China. Th is hypothesis found considerable support and eventually it may even turn out to be true, but at present it still needs more testing. It is only clear so far that the steppe whiskered bats from the western Eurasia and steppe whiskered bats from southern China are different, phylogenetically quite distant species. Th e study of variation and between-group differences of the steppe whiskered bats in morphological characters and molecular markers throughout the species geographic range is needed, and especially the comparison of their molecular genetic traits with those of M. davidii from the type locality (Beijing). Until such an analysis is done, taxonomic statements on the synonymy of the names M. aurascens and M. davidii are premature.
Land Snail Sphyradium doliolum (Stylommatophora Orculidae), in Ukraine and Moldova: Distribution, Habitats, Variability and Origin
Authors: Balashov I. , Levenets T. , Markova A. , Kramarenko A. , Kramarenko S.
Published: February 2023

All existing data and most of the available materials on Sphyradium doliolum from Ukraine and Moldova are reviewed. The species is reported from 38 localities (some including several sites) on uplands east of the Carpathians, the Dnipro Upland and in the Crimean Mountains. It mostly inhabits the broadleaved forests, but in one locality was found in a forestless rocky meadow steppe at an altitude of ca. 1400 m in the Crimea. Statistical analysis of the morphometric shell characters shows a significant geographical variability between the populations of S. doliolum from the different parts of Ukraine and Moldova. The most prominent morphometric differences were found between the populations from the Crimean Mountains and from all other East European populations combined. An origin of S. doliolum in Eastern Europe is discussed. The results of the morphometric analyses support the hypothesis of the two different origins during the two separate periods for the populations of S. doliolum in the Crimean Mountains and in the East European Plain. These two groups of populations could be representing the two different lineages that perhaps could be of the two different subspecies, but their status requires additional studies involving molecular genetic methods and material from a wider area.
Icosiella neglecta (Nematoda, Onchocercidae) in Ukraine: Occurrence, Hosts, Morphological and Molecular Characterisation
Authors: Kuzmin Yu. , Dmytriieva I. , Svitin R.
Published: February 2023

Icosiella neglecta (Diesing, 1851) is a filarial nematode infecting anuran amphibians in the western Palaearctic. In the present survey, we found I. neglecta in 27 out of 28 localities in eight regions of Ukraine. In those localities, 56.5 % of sampled green frogs (Pelophylax esculentus complex) were infected. The infection prevalence was similar in the two parental species, P. ridibundus (Pallas) and P. lessonae (Camerano), and their hybrid form, P. esculentus (Linnaeus), while the infection intensity was comparatively higher in P. ridibundus, as well as in the samples including both P. ridibundus and P. esculentus. Morphological examination of 40 females and 80 males of I. neglecta confirmed the consistency of main qualitative characters, whereas most metrical characters appeared to be rather variable and related to body length. Muscular oesophagus dimensions and spicule length in males were found to be the least variable. In the studied sample of males, 54 % had a longer spicule on the left side and a shorter one on the right side; the other 46 % had a longer spicule on the right side. Our molecular study using mitochondrial COI gene sequences confirmed the strong genetic similarity of I. neglecta populations in Ukraine and most other parts of its distribution area. A single nuclear 18S sequence generated was identical to one previously deposited in GenBank, originating from Ukraine.
PENDEKATAN HERMENEUTIKA MICHEL FOUCAULT DALAM SEJARAH MASUKNYA ISLAM DI SULAWESI SELATAN
Authors: Alimuddin Ikbal
Published: February 2023

Abstrak: Dalam perbincangan seputar sejarah, sebuah pemikiran yang menarik dari seorang filsuf kontemporer, yakni filsuf Barat yang kita kenal dengan nama Michel Foucault yang memiliki pandangan cukup menarik dalam pemikirannya atas sejarah. Foucault menyebut sejarah sebagai “Diskontinuitas”, dimana setiap peristiwa-peristiwa sejarah menurut Foucault ada fragmentasinya sendiri-sendiri, dalam artian sebuah peristiwa sejarah memiliki retakan peristiwa dan memiliki Episteme sehingga oleh Foucault, Sejarah disebut sebagai sesuatu yang diskontiniu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sebuah peristiwa sejarah dengan menggunakan teori analisis Michel Foucault yaitu Arkeologi dan Geneologi. Dalam penelitian ini akan membahas seputar sejarah masuknya Islam ke Sulawesi Selatan sampai kepada proses Islamisasi disana, dan juga dalam penelitian ini akan menunjukkan bahwa sejarah adalah sesuatu yang memang mempunyai episteme dalam tiap-tiap zamannya, sebagaimana yang di maksud oleh Foucault yaitu sejarah sebagai sesuaitu yang Diskontiniu. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari berbagai sumber yang ada, pada umumnya masyarakat memiliki pandangan yang berbeda akan masuknya Islam ke Sulawesi Selatan sampai proses penyebarannya, akan tetapi perbedaan itu kemudian di bakukan dengan sebuah pandangan yang menitik bertkan kepada sumber-sumber yang ada seperti lontara dan buku-buku sejarah yang ditulis oleh para sejarawan. Sehingga pandangan yang tidak mempunyai bukti tertulis itu di kesampingkan dan lebih mengutamakan sumber yang ada, sehingga pandangan-pandangan yang kurang memiliki sumber tidak banyak dipedomani oleh generasi selanjutnya.Kata Kunci: Diskontinuitas, Fragment, Episteme, Lontara, Arkeologi, Geneologi.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsep manusia menurut Ibn Miskāwaih dan dapat memberikan sumbangan pemikirian di dunia falsafat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif-kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui telaah pustaka, yakni penelitian yang dilakukan dengan membaca dan memahami referensi dari sumber primer dan sumber sekunder berupa karya-karya yang membahas atau berkaitan dengan pemikiran Ibn Miskāwaih tentang konsep manusia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Ibn Miskāwaih menganggap manusia berawal dari air yang menggenang kemudian menjadi karang. Selanjutnya tumbuhan yang membusuk menghasilkan kehidupan baru, yakni keluar hewan-hewan kecil seperti ulat yang berevolusi menjadi serangga. Hewan-hewan tersebut terus menambah daya kemampuannya hingga yang tertingi derajat pada hewan dan mendekati manusia adalah sejenis kera. Jika kera tersebut dapat melewati satu tingkat lebih unggul, maka ia dapat menjadi manusia. Manusia sempurna menurut Ibn Miskāwaih adalah yang tidak beranggapan bahwa hidup bukanlah untuk mencari kenikmatan inderawi saja. Kenikmatan inderawi bukanlah puncak kebahagiaan. Mereka adalah manusia yang mendekatkan diri kepada Allah Swt., dengan cara terus menerus. Mereka tidak lagi akan merasa lapar yang berlebihan, menginginkan kekayaan, dan bahkan mereka tidak menginginkan seks. Derajat ini dapat disamakan dengan malaikat, bahkan lebih tinggi dari malaikat. Mereka disebut para wali Allah Swt.Kata Kunci: Penciptaan Manusia, Manusia Sempurna.

Background and aims

Problem gambling and tobacco use are highly comorbid among adults. However, there are few treatment frameworks that target both gambling and tobacco use simultaneously (i.e., an integrated approach), while also being accessible and evidence-based. The aim of this two-arm open label RCT was to examine the efficacy of an integrated online treatment for problem gambling and tobacco use.

Methods

A sample of 209 participants (Mage = 37.66, SD = 13.81; 62.2% female) from North America were randomized into one of two treatment conditions (integrated [n = 91] or gambling only [n = 118]) that lasted for eight weeks and consisted of seven online modules. Participants completed assessments at baseline, after treatment completion, and at 24-week follow-up.

Results

While a priori planned generalized linear mixed models showed no condition differences on primary (gambling days, money spent, time spent) and secondary outcomes, both conditions did appear to significantly reduce problem gambling and smoking behaviours over time. Post hoc analyses showed that reductions in smoking and gambling craving were correlated with reductions in days spent gambling, as well as with gambling disorder symptoms. Relatively high (versus low) nicotine replacement therapy use was associated with greater reductions in gambling behaviours in the integrated treatment condition.

Discussion and conclusions

While our open label RCT does not support a clear benefit of integrated treatment, findings suggest that changes in smoking and gambling were correlated over time, regardless of treatment condition, suggesting that more research on mechanisms of smoking outcomes in the context of gambling treatment may be relevant.
Discourse Analysis of the Interactive Series “Nayden_zhiv” (First Season)
Authors:   Saratov State University, Tikhonova Sophia
Published: February 2023

The article deals with the discourse analysis of the mythologization of time in the interactive web series "Found Alive" (first season). The author explores the formation of interactive cinema, considering its genre, stylistic and technological features. The principal feature of interactive cinema is to change the communication scheme typical for cinema, in which the viewer is assigned a passive role. Since the viewer becomes a participant in the narrative of the film and can influence the development of its plot, the discourse of interactive cinema acquires new features associated with the introduction of computer game mechanics into the structure of the film. The formation of the temporal structures of the film is enriched by the potential of game mechanics, which requires calibration of research optics. Choosing N. Fairclough's discourse analysis algorithm as a starting methodological point, the author uses J. Bogost's ideas about the work of object-oriented ontology in the study of computer games. She refuses to consider the interactive component of the series as an additional narrative and focuses on identifying the work of the aesthetics, mechanics and dynamics of the game inserts of the film to analyze the experience they form. As a result, the discourse analysis of interactive cinema involves three levels: a syntagmatic analysis of the cinematic narrative, a paradigmatic analysis of the interactive game and an appeal to the external nodes of the narrative. The author shows that the key element of the discourse of the series "Nayden_Zhiv", reproducing the principles of the work of the search and rescue team "LizaAlert", is time as the main factor in the effectiveness of the search for a missing child. The film's discourse forms the image of time as an anti-force opposing rescuers, clashing two temporal strategies. The strategy of the cinematic narrative is aimed at gradually accelerating the subjective perception of time, leading to an acute experience of its deficit. The interactive strategy uses the potential of slowing down when mastering simulators and solving quests in the subjective experience of the player delays the solution of the basic goal of the film. The external narrative nodes formed by the creators of the series when contacting the press, online and offline audiences coincide with its internal nodes. According to the author, the complex discourse of interactive cinema enhances the mythologization of time.
MÍDIA E OS PROTESTOS CONTRA A SEXUALIZAÇÃO NAS OLIMPÍADAS 2020
Authors: BACKES JÚLIA FERNANDA LEMOS
Published: February 2023

A igualdade de gênero ainda segue distante de se tornar uma realidade nos Jogos Olímpicos, sendo uma das principais disparidades entre homens e mulheres a sexualização que atletas femininas sofrem por meio de seus uniformes esportivos. Para combater a questão, a equipe de Ginástica Artística da Alemanha decidiu deixar de lado as típicas roupas curtas da modalidade e se apresentar com um modelo que cobria as pernas por inteiro. Baseado nesta informação, o presente estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar como os portais brasileiros de notícias CNN Brasil, BBC News Brasil, G1 e Folha de São Paulo repercutiram o episódio referente aos novos uniformes das ginastas alemãs durante suas participações nas Olimpíadas de Tóquio 2020. Para tanto, foram selecionadas as reportagens alusivas ao caso encontradas em cada canal digital elencado e analisadas com base no método de Análise de Conteúdo de Laurence Bardin (2016), através das categorias: títulos das matérias, autorias dos textos, termos relacionados às discussões feministas, depoimentos utilizados e conteúdos de complemento às reportagens. Ao final deste trabalho, as reflexões detalhadas indicam o olhar sob a perspectiva do empoderamento feminino em algumas das matérias, salientando não somente a importância do debate dentro de ambientes ainda considerados patriarcais - como é o caso da esfera esportiva - como também do papel da mídia como propulsor de questões político-sociais, como é o caso das discussões referentes à equidade de gênero.

Introdução: A dermatoglifia é uma ciência que estuda o relevo da pele e os desenhos das pontas dos dedos, da palma das mãos e da planta dos pés com a finalidade de identificar as características qualitativas e quantitativas do indivíduo, sendo importante na elaboração dos treinamentos de atletas através da adequação dos estímulos realizados. Sendo assim o estudo objetivou diagnosticar o perfil antropométrico e o perfil e potencial genético de jogadores de futebol da categoria sub 13 do São Cristovão Futebol e Regatas. Metodologia: O estudo empregou como recurso metodológico a pesquisa do tipo descritiva, além de apresentar caráter de corte transversal, por descrever um fenômeno e apresentar uma amostra concentrada numa determinada faixa etária. A amostra foi composta de 35 jogadores de distintas posições. Resultados: Os resultados indicam que o grupo amostral possui idade média de 12,9 ± 0,48 anos, massa corporal média de 47,25 ± 8,15 kg e estatura média de 161,8 ± 9,68 cm. Em que pese a dermatoglifia, percebe-se uma predominância de presilhas (L) com relação aos demais desenhos digitais, um moderado número de D10 e um elevado SQTL. Conclusão: Os resultados indicam que a dermatoglifia emerge como um importante teste referente à avaliação dos atletas. Em que que a amostra, percebe-se, uma predisposição a velocidade, moderada resistência e coordenação motora. É válido ressaltar a importância da coordenação como mediadora de todas as outras qualidades físicas, pois quanto mais eficiente ela se apresentar maior será o rendimento físico e técnico tendo por consequência uma melhor performance.

Published: February 2023

This paper analyzes the space of the Brazilian municipality of Conlheiro Lafaiete, as a medium- sized city, in the period between 1970 and 2018. The research has a descriptive-exploratory character and was divided into five stages: theoretical basis, case study, document analysis, cartographic production and interviews. We found that the process of urban expansion in Conselheiro Lafaiete is marked by its consolidation as a service and commerce center in the region, with a strong presence in the real estate and civil construction sectors. However, there is no effective application of urban legislation; planning and supervision of the occupation of urban space become inefficient and give rise to spontaneous and disorderly growth. The consequences of these transformations reflect directly on the intra-urban space and on the phenomena linked to the modification of these spaces.
Impact of Aspirin Supplementation for Pre-Eclampsia Prevention on Neonatal Outcomes
Authors: Campo Bertha , Fogel Joshua , Na Sean , Bryson Lennox
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Preeclampsia affects approximately 4.6% of pregnancies worldwide. In 2018, ACOG updated their low dose aspirin (LDA) supplementation recommendation to include pregnant women at moderate risk for preeclampsia. In addition to the potential benefit of LDA supplementation for delaying or preventing preeclampsia, LDA supplementation can affect neonatal outcomes. We study the association of LDA supplementation with six neonatal outcomes: length of stay (LOS) in hospital, NICU admission, hospital readmission, birth weight (BW), one-minute Apgar score, and five-minute Apgar score in a sample of mostly minority pregnant women from Hispanic and Black race/ethnicities.
Methods. This was a retrospective study of 634 patients from January 2018 through April 2021.Our main predictor variable was maternal LDA supplementation on 6 neonatal outcomes: NICU admission, neonatal readmission, one and five minute Apgar scores, neonatal BW and hospital LOS. We adjusted for demographics, comorbidities and maternal high- or moderate-risk designation per ACOG guidelines.
Results. We found that high-risk designation was associated with neonatal increased rate of NICU admission (OR: 3.80, 95% CI: 2.02, 7.13, p<0.001), LOS (B=0.15, SE=0.04, p<0.001) and decreased birthweight (B=-442.10, SE=75.07, p <0.001). We found no significant association with LDA supplementation and NICU admission, readmission, low one and five minute Apgar scores, BW and LOS.
Conclusions. We did not find any association of LDA supplementation with NICU admission, hospital readmission, low one-minute or five-minute Apgar score, birthweight, and LOS. Clinicians recommending maternal LDA supplementation should be aware that LDA supplementation does not appear to provide any benefits for these neonatal outcomes.
On the Relationship Between Stakeholder Affiliation and Attitudes Toward Behavioral Health Reform in Kansas
Authors: Vuong Ngoc , Keene Woods Nikki
Published: February 2023

Introduction. The lack of access to behavioral health care, trends in behavioral health issues, and the impact of social determinants of health underlie the need for behavioral health reform in Kansas. However, stakeholders may affect progress toward behavioral health reform. This study examined stakeholders’ attitudes toward behavioral health reform. 
Methods. This study analyzed data from a survey administered to elected officials, members of health advocacy groups, state employees, and payers in Kansas. Main outcome measures included attitudes toward primary care and behavioral health integration; the perceived benefit of certain behavioral health and social determinants of health policies; and the perceived performance of the primary care and behavioral health care systems in Kansas.
Results. Although stakeholders supported most policies that facilitate primary care and behavioral health integration, elected officials and payers were less likely to support financial incentives for primary care practitioners who treat gender dysphoria than health advocates and state employees. Payers perceived legislation to improve insurance coverage for behavioral health issues as less beneficial than state employees and health advocates. And elected officials perceived legislation to address various social determinants of health as less beneficial than health advocates.
Conclusions. Preliminary findings indicate may reflect both the barriers and facilitators to behavioral health reform in Kansas. However, several limitations undermined the generalizability of these findings. Future studies should consider more representative sample sizes, additional variables in behavioral health and social determinants of health policies, and more comprehensive, validated measures.
Investigation of a Novel Activity-Based Checks (ABC) Functional Pain Scale in the Postoperative Urologic Surgery Patient

Published: February 2023

Introduction. The authors investigated a novel functional pain scale, the Activity-Based Checks (ABCs) of Pain, following open urologic surgery. The primary objectives were to establish the strength of the correlation between the ABCs and the numeric rating scale (NRS) and determine the impact of functional pain on the patient’s opioid requirements. We hypothesized that ABC score would correlate strongly with NRS and that the ABC score during hospitalization would be more closely correlated with the number of opioids prescribed and used.
Methods. This prospective study included patients at a tertiary academic hospital undergoing nephrectomy and cystectomy. The NRS and ABCs were collected pre-operatively, during the inpatient stay, and at the one-week follow-up. Milligrams of morphine equivalents (MMEs) prescribed at discharge and the MME reportedly taken during the first post-operative week were recorded. Spearman's Rho was used to assess the correlation between scale variables.
Results. Fifty-seven patients were enrolled. The ABCs correlated strongly with the NRS at baseline and post-operative appointments (r = 0.716, p < 0.001 and 0.643, p < 0.001). Neither the NRS nor the composite ABCs score was predictive of outpatient MME requirements; the ABCs function, “Walking outside the room” significantly correlated to MMEs taken after discharge (r = 0.471, p = 0.011). The greatest predictor of MMEs taken was the number of MMEs prescribed (0.493, p = 0.001).
Conclusions. This study highlighted the importance of post-operative pain assessment that takes functional pain into consideration to evaluate pain, inform management decisions, and reduce opiate reliance. It also emphasized the strong relationship between opioids prescribed and opioids consumed.

used cytotoxicity assays (XTT, neutral red uptake, crys-

tal violet assay, and propidium iodide staining) which

analyzed the antiproliferative effects of vitamin K2.

Material and Method

Saos-2 cells, an osteosarcoma cell line, were

exposed to vitamin K2 at different concentrations (10

μM, 20 μM, 30 μM, 40 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM and 200

μM) for 48 and 72 hours. Tetrazolium salt test (XTT),

neutral red uptake (NR) assay, crystal violet assay,

and propidium iodide (PI) staining were performed to

determine cytotoxic potential of vitamin K2 in terms

of the cell viability and IC50 values. The results were

evaluated with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)

and the Tukey test.

Results

Cytotoxic effects of vitamin K2 on osteosarcoma cells

were analyzed with XTT, neutral red, crystal violet

assay, and propidium iodide, respectively. IC50 values

were determined exposure to 61.93; 40.21; 62.11;

70.57 μM vitamin K2 for 48 and 75.44; 68.22; 41.66;

88.01 μM vitamin K2 for 72 hours.

Conclusion

Statistical analysis revealed that there is a significant

statistical difference between four tests used in this

study. In addition, it was determined that the viability

rates in propidium iodide staining were higher than

other tests for cytotoxicity analyses. It has been

concluded that incubations at different concentrations

were required to prevent misinterpretation of results in

cytotoxicity analyses, and tetrazolium salt-based tests

should be supplemented with other non-metabolic

tests.
Use limitation on soil water resource by red plum apricot
Authors: Zhongsheng Guo
Published: February 2023

Since 1995, the yield, benefits, and plantation area of red plum apricot have increased dramatically. But as red plum apricot trees’ canopy and roots grew, soil drying appeared and sometimes become severe in a wet year. The severe soil drying influence the yield, quality and benefits of red plum apricot because precipitation is small and with a big season change. At this time, the plant-water relationship has to be regulated on Soil Water Resource Use Limitation by Plant and Soil Moisture Vegetation Carrying Capacity. However, there are few studies on the utilization limit of soil water resources by red plum apricot forest land. In this study, daily precipitation, and soil water suctions at different soil water content are measured, and the maximal infiltration depth and the soil water resource use limitation by red plum apricot were estimated. The results show that wilting coefficient varies with soil depth from 7.98 in surface soil to 7.1% in 240 cm soil depth, the maximal infiltration depth is 290 cm and the Use Limit of Soil Water Resources by red plum apricot is 212.7 mm. When the soil water resource in the maximal infiltration depth is lower than the limit, the regulation of the plant-water relationship must be considered.
Pillaging plucking plundering ransacking proteomes via CPLL technology

No proteome can be considered “democratic”, but rather “oligarchic” since a few proteins dominate the landscape and often obliterate the signal of the rare ones. That is the reason why most scientists lament that, in proteome analysis, the same set of abundant proteins is repeatedly seen. Current pre-fractionation techniques, one way or another, are besieged by problems, in that they are based on a “depletion principle”, i.e. elimination of unwanted species. Yet “democracy” calls for giving “equal rights” to everyone. One way to achieve that would be the use of libraries of combinatorial ligands coupled to spherical beads. When these beads are contacted with complex proteomes (e.g., human urines and sera, egg white, any cell or tissue lysate) of widely differing protein composition and relative abundances, they are able to “normalize” the protein population, by sharply reducing the concentration of the most abundant components while simultaneously enhancing the level of the most dilute components. It is felt that this method could offer a strong step forward in bringing the “unseen proteome” (due to either low abundance and/or presence of interferences) within the detection capabilities of current proteomics detection methods. Examples are given of the normalization of human urine and sera samples, resulting in the discovery of a host of proteins previously unreported. These beads can also be used to remove host cell proteins from purified recombinant proteins or proteins purified from natural sources that are intended for human consumption. These proteins typically reach purities of the order of 98%: higher purities often become prohibitively expensive. Yet, if incubated with Combinatorial Peptide Ligand Libraries (CPLL), even these impurities can be effectively removed with minute losses of the main, valuable product.
A qualitative research on investigation the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy on depression of children
Authors: KATMER Ayşe Nur , HAMAMCI Zeynep
Published: February 2023

This study aims to investigate the effects of cognitive behavioural therapy on depression levels in children. For this purpose, five children, who scored above the cut-off score in the Child Depression Inventory and displayed depressive symptoms, were selected among the fifth-grade students studying in a secondary school. Individual therapy based on cognitive behavioural therapy was applied to these five children once a week for a total of 10 weeks, each session lasting an average of 50 minutes. In the last ten minutes of each session, the parents also joined the session. While interviews aiming to reduce depression levels based on cognitive behavioural therapy were being conducted with the children, interviews were also conducted with the parents in order to inform them about the process, to support the child outside the sessions and to follow up the process. In the study, the content of the interviews conducted with the children and the answers given to the semi-structured interview questions prepared by the researcher after the application and received from the parents were used as data. The content of the interviews and the answers given to the semi-structured interview questions were subjected to content analysis. At the end of the study, when the content of the sessions at the beginning of the therapy process was analysed, it was found that depression, low self-perception, and negative cognitive and emotional processes were expressed intensely during the first sessions. When the content of the sessions in the subsequent stages of the therapy was analysed, it was observed that there were positive changes in the cognitive, emotional and behavioural dimensions; in other words, individual therapy had positive effects on the children. When the answers given by the parents to the semi-structured interview questions were analysed, it was concluded that individual therapy created positive changes in the change of negative thoughts, self-expression, problem-solving skills and anger control in children. In the study, it was observed that the content of the interviews with the children and the answers given by the parents to the semi-structured interview questions were consistent with each other.
Chromic acid assay for quantification of total lipids in pollen v1
Authors: J. Carroll Mark
Published: February 2023

This protocol quantifies total lipid contents of pollen through colorimetric oxidation of lipids by chromic acid (adapted from Amenta, 1970). Small pollen samples (10 mg) are fractured by cell homogenization and lipids are extracted by Folch extraction. Lipid amounts are measured by colorimetric changes when hexavalent (+6 oxidation state) chromium ion is reduced to a trivalent (+3 oxidation state) state during lipid oxidation. The accuracy of the assay depends on how thoroughly the initial extraction excludes non-lipid compounds such as sugars and proteins. A considerable drawback of this method is the toxicity, carcinogenicity, and environmental toxicity of the hexavalent chromium reagents used in this assay. Amenta, J.S. (1970).

Parliamentary Women Opposition Leaders: A Comparative Assessment Across 28 OECD Countries
Authors: Dingler Sarah C. , Helms Ludger
Published: February 2023

While women have increasingly gained access to the position of opposition leader, we still know very little about their pathways to that office. Therefore, this article seeks to uncover the dynamics and patterns that distinguish the ascendency of women politicians to the office of opposition leader from a comparative perspective. In this article, opposition leaders are understood as the parliamentary party group leaders of the largest non-governing party in a given legislative assembly, which marks the closest equivalent to the Westminster understanding of leaders of the opposition that continues to dominate international notions of opposition leaders and oppositional leadership in parliamentary democracies. We draw on data from opposition leaders in 28 parliamentary democracies between 1996–2020 to identify opportunity structures that allow women opposition leaders to emerge across countries. In addition, we test how factors on the individual level (e.g., previous experience in party and parliament as well as in government) and at the party level (e.g., ideology) affect the likelihood that a parliamentary opposition leader is a woman. Our analyses demonstrate that the share of women in parliament significantly increases the likelihood that at least one of the parliamentary opposition leaders of the past 25 years was a woman. Moreover, opposition leaders in leftist parties are more likely to be women than their more rightist counterparts. Surprisingly, and contrary to our expectations, previous political experience does not shape the probability of women becoming opposition leaders. Thus, overall, the institutional and ideological contexts of selecting parliamentary opposition leaders seem to matter more than the experience and qualifications of individual candidates.
