The problem of soil salinization is relevant not only for agricultural areas but also for mining, where brines enter the surface as formation water or runoff from sludge storage facilities and salt dumps of mining enterprises. Currently, there is little elaboration of assessment and lack of normative support (MPC, APC) for assessment of technogenic salinisation of soils. The aim of this research is to develop a mathematical model for predicting the transformation of soils affected by technogenic salinization. The research focuses on soils in three types of landscapes, namely eluvial, transitional, and alluvial, located in the area of technogenic salinization. To develop the model, information-logical analysis and soil indicators were employed. These indicators were determined by standard methods. According to the information-logical analysis the sodium adsorption coefficient is the dominant factor of soils’ salinity; descending further: calcium ion content, sulfates content in the soil water extract and the calculated indicators (∆pH and pH) of the salt extract. The model showed that the highest amount of toxic salts is observed when pHKCl ranges from 5.3 to 7.4, sulfate content is above 500 mg/kg, calcium content is above 1000 mg/kg, SAR is above 10, and ∆pH is below 0.5. These indicator values correspond to alluvial soils found in small river valleys; these soils are highly prone to transformation. Using the obtained information-logical model and soil indicators, it is possible to make a forecast of soil transformation under technogenic salinization.

The aim of the work was to create a stable hydrogel complex containing microalgae cells to remove ammonium and phosphate ions from an experimental solution simulating domestic wastewater. A new polymer matrix based on sodium alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose, polyacrylic acid, retained the integrity of the structure in a solution with a high content of ammonium and phosphate ions, and also proved to be resistant to alkali metals. To increase the stability of hydrogel complexes, we proposed an increase in the number of chemical bonds in the polymer environment due to the crosslinking of alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, as wellпа as the introduction of an additional external stabilizer – cationic polyacrylamide. Due to the combination of several polymers, only slight swelling was observed and, as a result, the preservation of the hydrogel matrix in integrity for a long time. The two most commonly used algae in biotesting were selected for the experiment: Tetradesmus obliquus and Chlorella vulgaris from the live microalgae strains collection of the Institute of Biology (Syktyvkar, Russia). The formation conditions of the hydrogel complex made it possible to preserve the viability, reproduction and development of the microalgae cells in the polymer matrix. The cell viability of both cultures was over 95%. It was found that living cells of microalgae are mainly involved in the process of nitrogen uptake. Microalgae immobilized cells, in the presence of carbonate ions, provided the best degree of removal of ammonium nitrogen, which reached 90%. The greatest contribution to the phosphorus removal (> 95%) was made by the polymer component of the hydrogel complex.

Published: February 2024

In this paper peculiarities of negative impact of oil-containing waste to humans and biosphere and approaches to its estimation are considered. For the estimation of ecological risks of negative impact of oil-containing waste in areas of oil and gas fields it is suggested to take into account not only its toxicological and quantitative characteristics, but also the degradation of the territories of fields, potential recultivating capacity of fields, suitability of wastes for utilization etc. Negative ecological impact not only from operation but also from mothballed oil well should be investigated. Results of complex experimental researches of negative impact of oil-containing waste in regions of development and exploitation of oil and gas fields are described. In number of cases increased values of oil containing waste and heavy metals were determined in soil and in water environment. For oil wells of Mogutovskoye field acute toxicity of soil samples near to the wells and excess over maximum permissible concentrations of methane were determined. Results of monitoring of toxicological impact of oil containing waste in areas of different oil fields of Samara region and in oil treatment plants by using of biological testing methods have showed that a number of samples have enlarged toxicity and are causing acute toxic effect to the test-organisms – green algae Chlorella vulgaris Beijer and Scenedesmus quadricauda (Turpin) Brébisson, crustaceans Daphnia magna Straus. In number of cases increased values of oil products was observed. Thus, it was determined that negative impact of oil-containing waste in areas of oil fields is complex in nature and may cause significant ecological risks for air, water and soil. Results of work allow us to carry out more efficient and high quality monitoring of negative impact of oil-containing waste and estimation of ecological risks as well as to develop the measures for reduction of negative impact of oil-containing waste.

Analysis of the list of liquid wastes of hazard classes I and II in the Federal Classification Catalog of waste (FCCW) showed that one of the most common wastes is wastewater, waste technological solutions containing chromium ions(III, VI). This type of waste accounts for up to 15% of the total amount of liquid technogenic waste of hazard classes I and II, formed as a result of the activities of electroplating and chemical enterprises. Hexavalent chromium compounds belong to the class of toxic, extremely dangerous substances, the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in the water of drinking water bodies for chromium (VI) is 0.05 mg/L. A feature of this type of waste is the increased salt background characteristic of electrolytes used in electroplating industries. The article presents experimental data, as well as basic technological solutions for the neutralization of chromium-containing wastewater and waste technological solutions. A technological scheme containing four main stages is proposed: reduction of hexavalent chromium, isolation of trivalent chromium from aqueous solutions, separation of accompanying compounds of heavy and non-ferrous metals, filtration post-treatment of the solution. Experimental studies have shown that, depending on the ionic composition of the medium, the efficiency of isolation of trivalent chromium compounds from aqueous solutions by electroflotation varies from 8 to 95%. The introduction of an anionic flocculant makes it possible to increase the degree of extraction to 99% or more.

Storage of sulfur extracted from hydrocarbon raw materials in open areas (sulfur pads) leads to soil contamination of sulfur. The sulfur-soil mixture is not suitable for further chemical processing, and its separation into individual components is not economically viable. In this regard, it is sent to specialized landfills as hazard class IV waste called “soil contaminated with sulfur during the repair of sulfur storage pits, sulfur pads, sulfur pipelines”. The production of ameliorants for alkaline saline soils is one option to utilize this waste without separating it into components. The application of a finely ground sulfur-soil mixture into alkaline saline soil decreases pH and the carbonates and bicarbonates content, increases specific electrical conductivity and the phosphorus and potassium mobility, as well as leads to the active displacement of Na+ cations from the soil absorption complex into the solution. The ions transition from the soil absorption complex into solution considerably facilitates the removal of excess salts from the soil by washing. The main effect of sulfur-soil mixture application is during the first three weeks after applying the ameliorant. It depends on the amount of sulfur applied to the soil. The introduction of technology for processing sulfur-soil mixtures into ameliorants will minimize the amount of sulfur-containing waste stored in landfills and bring to the market a budget-friendly, natural and effective agrochemical to restore the fertility of alkaline saline soils. The results obtained can be used as an experimental basis for the development of new processing of sulfur-soil mixtures into marketable products.

Long-term data obtained from studying a wide range of alluvial soils formed on floodplain terraces of rivers in the taiga-forest and steppe zones of the European and West Siberian Plains are summarized. The microstructure of alluvial soils in the central part of the floodplain terraces of a number of large rivers such as the Ob, Pechora, Northern Dvina, Ugra, Oka, Desna, Klyazma and Tikhaya Sosna Rivers was studied using the methods of micromorphology and scanning electron microscopy. We identified the features and diagnostic signs of flood-alluvial and elementary soil-forming processes that determine the formation of the profile of alluvial meadow soils. All bioclimatic zones are characterized by high aggregation and porosity of humus-accumulative horizons. However, humus of the mull and moder type is formed in the taiga-forest zone, while in the steppe – only mull. Diagnostic signs of zonality in alluvial meadow soils are the shape and size of Fe-Mn formations, clay deposits and cutans, gypsum and carbonates. In the taiga-forest zone the ecological conditions of the high floodplain are marked by the presence of Fe-Mn new formations in the form of nodules and the presence of clay deposits in the lower part of the profile. At the same time, the low floodplain is marked by Fe-Mn new formations in the form of flakes and spots, clay cutans (films) in the pores and around the units at the bottom of the profile. Alluvial meadow soils of the steppe zone are characterized by the presence of new formations of gypsum and carbonates in the lower part of the profile, and the absence of illuvial cutans. Intensive agrogenic use of alluvial meadow soils promotes the disaggregation of the humus-accumulative horizon, the leaching of amorphous forms of humus from it, and the reorientation of clay minerals into a horizontal arrangement in the horizons located below the plow base.

The research deals with soil algocyanoflora reaction to Verkhnekamsk lean rock phosphorites which are used as natural fertilizers. Cyanobacteria turned out to be the most sensitive to Verkhnekamsk lean rock phosphorites; they are responsive to phosphorus and to reduction of soil acidity. As compared with the control, after adding 0.5 g/kg Verkhnekamsk lean rock phosphorites, their species diversity in the variant increased 1.5 times. Introduction of Verkhnekamsk lean rock phosphorites caused increase in cyanobacteria quantity as well. The number of cyanobacteria cells increased in the variants: 0.2 g/kg by 30%, 0.5 g/kg by 51.7%, 1.0 g/kg by 57.8%. The overall number of micophototrophic cells increased from 174.0±14.3 thousand cells per 1 g of soil to 222.3±15.8 thousand cells per 1 g of soil (0.5 g/kg).

Chagas’ disease or American trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, which is a top priority target of the World Health Organization. The disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic in Latin America and has spread around the globe due to human migration. There are multiple transmission routes, from vectorial, congenital, oral to iatrogenic. Less than 1% of patients have access to treatment, limited to two old redox-active drugs, but these have poor pharmacokinetics and severe adverse effects. Hence, the priorities for the next steps of R&D include i) the discovery of new drugs/chemical classes for clinical trials; ii) filling the pipeline with drug candidates that have new mechanisms of action, iii) the need for more research and access to new chemical entities. In the present work, we first identified a hit (4a), from a library of 3-benzylmenadiones, that had potent anti-T.cruzi activity. We then designed a synthetic strategy to build a library of 49 3-(4-mono-amino)benzylmenadione derivatives, via reductive amination to obtain diazacyclic benz(o)ylmenadiones. Among them, we identified an anti-amastigote “early lead” 11b (henceforth called cruzidione) by high content imaging with optimized pharmacokinetic properties and better specificity. Studies in a yeast model revealed that a cruzidione metabolite, the 3-benzoylmenadione (cruzidione oxide), enters redox-cycling with the NADH-dehydrogenase, generating reactive oxygen species, as hypothesized for the early hit (4a).

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) induces hyperexcitability in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) nociceptors, which contributes to abdominal pain. Proteases modulate the excitability of nociceptive neurons via activation of cell-surface protease-activated receptors. Recent findings indicate that serine proteases from Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a bacterial strain found in the colonic microbiota of healthy individuals, can directly signal to the DRG neurons and reduce excitability, which may suppress abdominal pain. Herein we identify an anti-nociceptive serine protease from F. prausnitzii by heterologous expression and purification of multiple putative anti-nociceptive serine proteases followed by clamp electrophysiology experiments. A single serine protease, Clp-fp, from F. prausnitzii reduced DRG neuronal excitability via activation of protease-activated receptor-4, thereby recapitulating the effect of F. prausnitzii culture supernatants. The identification and characterization of a potentially analgesic serine protease from a commensal gut bacterium makes possible the further exploration of new treatments for IBD-related abdominal pain.

Published: February 2024

Harnessing mechanical force to modulate material properties and enhance biomechanical functions is essential for advancing smart materials and bioengineering. Polymer mechanochemistry provides an emerging toolkit to unlock unconventional chemical transformations and modulate molecular structures via mechanical force. One of the key challenges is developing innovative force-sensing mechanisms for precise, in situ force detection and quantification. This study addresses this challenge by introducing mDPAC, a mechanosensitive molecular gear with dynamic and sensitive mechanochromic properties. Its unique mechanoresponsive mechanism is based on the simultaneous configurational variation of its phenazine and phenyl moieties, facilitated by a worm-gear structure. We affirm mDPAC's complex mechanochemical response and elucidate its mechanotransduction mechanism through our experimental emission data and comprehensive DFT and MD simulations. The compatibility of mDPAC with hydrogels is particularly notable, highlighting its potential for applications in aqueous biological environments as a dynamic molecular force sensor and mapping tool. Moreover, mDPAC's multicolored mechanochromic responses enable direct force sensing, visual detection, and real-time quantification, paving the way for integrating molecular gears into bulk materials for precise and real-time mechanical force sensing.

Upaya pelindungan bahasa minoritas di Provinsi Papua perlu mendapat perhatian mendalam karena jumlah bahasa di Provinsi Papua terbilang banyak dengan jumlah penutur yang sedikit sehingga ancaman kepunahan menjadi tinggi. Salah satu bahasa minoritas di Provinsi Papua yang belum mendapat upaya pelindungan adalah bahasa Wabo di Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen. Penelitian ini berusaha mengkaji vitalitas dari bahasa Wabo di Kampung Wabo. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) menjelaskan situasi dan kondisi kebahasaan terkini, dan (2) mengidentifikasi indikator vitalitas bahasa mana yang perlu dikembangkan sebagai upaya pelindungan bahasa lanjutan ke depannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi partisipatoris. Analisis data menggunakan indikator vitalitas bahasa dari UNESCO. Hasilnya, vitalitas bahasa Wabo di Kampung Wabo dapat dikategorikan dengan status kritis secara keseluruhan. Hal ini karena bahasa Wabo memiliki kondisi yang lemah di semua indikator vitalitas bahasanya dan penyebab utamanya berasal dari absennya transmisi antargenerasi. Indikator yang paling rendah dan membutuhkan upaya pelindungan bahasa secepatnya adalah (1) ketersediaan bahan ajar dan literasi, (2) ranah dan media baru, serta (3) dokumentasi bahasa. Ketiga indikator tersebut dapat diupayakan oleh pihak eksternal penutur, sedangkan indikator transmisi antargenerasi hanya dapat diupayakan oleh pihak internal penutur bahasa Wabo.

Mística de la liberación, praxis política
Authors: Londoño Betancur Juan Esteban
Published: February 2024

En este artículo se explora la relación entre la teología de la liberación, orientada hacia la praxis política, y el fenómeno místico, orientado hacia la quietud, la contemplación y la custodia del Misterio. Para ello, se parte de las definiciones de la fenomenología de la religión y se exploran las afirmaciones de teólogos como Leonardo Boff y Frei Betto, quienes asumen la praxis de la liberación desde un discurso místico de la inmanencia o de la transparencia. Al adentrarse en las similitudes y diferencias, se problematiza el uso que estos teólogos de la liberación hacen del término “mística”, en tanto que dejan de lado el énfasis en la ausencia y el ocultamiento del Misterio para poner su énfasis en la manifestación política de lo divino.

A review on nutritional and mental health benefits of millets
Authors: Kanchana S.
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the nutritional and mental health benefits of millets, challenging the idea that these ancient grains lack essential nutrients. Millets offer a natural and nutritious alternative to today's processed diets, packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants. The paper emphasizes the cognitive benefits of incorporating iron-biofortified pearl millet, highlighting its positive effects on brain function, memory, and attention. Their antioxidants combat oxidative stress, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases like neurological disorders and diabetes. Despite being historically significant, there's a misconception that millets lack essential nutrients. The paper counters this by highlighting their rich composition of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, providing protection against age-related degenerative diseases. The focus on pearl millet reveals its nutritional importance, boasting high protein content, essential amino acids, and therapeutic properties. Pearl millet supports heart health, respiratory health, bone growth, reduces the risk of cancer and aids in weight loss. It is also recognized for treating stomach ulcers and preventing gallstones.
Probiotic evaluation of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the intestinal tract of labeo rohita (rohu)
Authors: Meena S.
Published: February 2024

Probiotics, defined as live microorganisms conferring health benefits, have gained global popularity for their role in promoting host well-being. Lactic acid bacteria, known inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract, are investigated for their probiotic properties, including acid and bile salt tolerance. Numerous researchers have documented the potential probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria, attributing them to their ability to enhance the host animal's immune system and promote microbial equilibrium in the gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to assess the probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria obtained from the intestinal tract of the freshwater fish, Labeo rohita (Rohu). The isolated lactic acid bacteria underwent thorough characterization and identification, employing morphological, cultural, and biochemical analyses. Subsequently, their probiotic potential was evaluated through acid tolerance and bile salt tolerance studies. This investigation revealed that two Lactobacillus species isolated from the gut of Labeo rohita met the essential criteria for probiotics, demonstrating resilience to high acidity within the pH range of 3 to 5 and tolerating bile salt concentrations up to 0.3%.

Published: February 2024

Pendekatan metafora dan pendekatan alam umum digunakan pada era arsitektur post modernisme saat ini mengingat pentingnya keinginan untuk menunjukkan kesadaran kontekstual, rasa individualitas, dan kesadaran lingkungan. Bangunan terminal di bandara merupakan salah satu contoh struktur bangunan yang biasanya menggunakan kedua pendekatan tersebut. Studi ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi lebih mendalam mengenai proses desain bandara internasional Beijing Daxing yang dirancang menggunakan pendekatan metafora serta Jewel Changi yang dirancang menggunakan pendekatan alam. Pada studi ini ditemukan bahwa titik awal penggunaan pendekatan metafora dan pendekatan alami dalam desain arsitektur adalah untuk mengatasi masalah yang ada. Lalu, dilakukan pencarian konsep desain yang sesuai dimana pendekatan alami melibatkan pencarian gambaran peristiwa alam untuk diterapkan pada desain, sedangkan pendekatan metafora melibatkan identifikasi objek yang dapat ditiru secara konsepsual atau fisik. Setelah itu, fenomena atau objek diselidiki secara seksama dengan mempertimbangkan aspek fisik dan kualitas immaterialnya. Proses desain kemudian dimulai dengan cara menerapkan fenomena atau objek pada elemen desain arsitektur melalui cara nyata (tangible) maupun tidak berwujud (intangible). Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan panduan secara menyeluruh mengenai proses desain pendekatan metafora dan pendekatan alam sehingga dapat dijadikan contoh bagi yang memerlukannya

Published: February 2024

With the developing technology, individuals have begun to work and carry out all kinds of transactions through digital platforms. In parallel, digital environments have also begun to meet individuals' entertainment needs, with games becoming digitized and gaming habits evolving in a different direction. This situation has brought with it both the benefits and the online risks of the digital world. Cyber violence, defined as any harmful behavior towards an individual or group through cyberspace, is one of these online risks.
As a preliminary study, this paper aims to examine the extent and methods of cyber violence experienced by male and female users in the online game League of Legends, which is one of the most popular online games in Turkey, and to analyze the psychological and legal aspects of cyber violence in digital games.
In this experimental, descriptive study with blended research methodology, both male and female users played the game alone and as a team at regular intervals for one month. Participants were asked to use their usernames and behavior in the game, indicating their gender. The reactions received by both participants when playing the game well or poorly were analyzed to examine cyber violence from legal and psychological perspectives.
As a preliminary result of the study, it was found that female participants received the most flirtatious offers and were subjected to verbal abuse and insults, even when playing the game well. Male participants, on the other hand, were subjected to verbal abuse and insults when playing the game both well and poorly.
When the participants played the game together, it was found that female participants were subjected to cyber violence the most. This violence is most commonly expressed in the form of verbal abuse and insults. It is believed that examining cyber violence in digital games from legal and psychological perspectives will raise awareness about cyber violence.

Published: February 2024

The article presents the results of an analytical sociological research on the population’s opinion study in the gender aspect regarding the perception and approval of various attributes of the visual image of medical organizations in the Russian Federation. The research found that women are more likely than men to pay attention to design solutions for elements of a visual image. The construction of the Kano matrix made it possible to determine the most attractive attributes of medical imaging systems – a single design of pointers and the presence of graphic elements that received great approval from women. Accounting for gender balance in the formation and implementation of national health policy can become the basis for the development of multi-purpose strategies aimed at creating maximum compliance for both men and women in terms of the conditions for providing medical care.
