Forecasts and demographic development of the population of Fergana Valley regions of Uzbekistan until 2040
Authors: Kodirov Rahimjon B. , Temirov Zokirjon A.
Published: November 2021

The world's population is growing rapidly and today exceeds 7.8 billion people. World population growth is expected to slow down slowly in the future. A decade ago, the world's population increased by 1.24 percent; today it is 1.1 percent, an increase of 83 million a year. The world's population is expected to reach 8.6 billion by 2030. (UNFPA 2015). This creates a regional imbalance between population growth and the development of employment, production and social infrastructure. Information is needed on the creation of new jobs in the regions, for planning the construction of preschool institutions, schools, higher and secondary specialized educational institutions, how many children will be able to attend preschool institutions in the future, how many children will reach school age and how many children will be transfered to specialized secondary and higher education, how much the labor force will increase. The population of Uzbekistan is constantly growing. From 1991 to 2020, the country's population increased by 1.7 times. For comparison: during this period, the population of neighboring Kyrgyzstan increased by 1.3 times, the population of Kazakhstan – by 1.02 times, the population of Tajikistan – by 1.5 times, the population of Turkmenistan – by 1.4 times. During the years of independence in Uzbekistan, special attention was paid to demographic issues based on the population and the human factor, the principles of a healthy mother and a healthy child. The course of demographic processes changes in accordance with the natural, socio-economic geographical conditions of the regions (Tojieva Z. N. 2019). The Fergana Valley is the most densely populated region of Uzbekistan with a small territory, a large demographic load and the largest demographic potential (Abdullaev O. 2000). Land resources with limited, high demographic pressure require research aimed at identifying, predicting and preventing future adverse events specific to the development of demographic processes in the regions of the valley. The article makes a forecast for 2025–2040 and draws conclusions using the method of age shift of the population of regions, districts and cities of the Fergana Valley, demographic regions and gender and age composition.

Social entrepreneurship development in Ukraine is a priority guideline based on the creation and improvement of government policy on ecosystem orientation and inclusion, which provides public access to tourism and natural resources. The main component of inclusive development of social entrepreneurship emphasizes the basic principles of its existence, such as the ability to achieve one’s own goals, despite the economic effect of one’s activities. In the quantitative comparative analysis and need to reach economic indicators, the main factors are determined by the idea of inclusive development in nature management, as a field of activity in which not only the state but also multidisciplinary international organizations invest. The aim of the article is to identify opportunities for inclusive nature management development in social entrepreneurship in Ukraine by summarizing the existing practice of using indices and identifying indicators that will correspond to inclusive nature management parameters. Determining the position and directions of social entrepreneurship development in Ukraine was determined using an index approach, which, in contrast to others, allows one to identify indicators that characterize the sphere of development on economic and environmental influence of the country on the basis of inclusivity. The analysis of international rating assessments and Ukraine’s place in them requires a rethinking of existing approaches to the search for economically feasible ways to improve socio-economic and environmental indicators and their rating positions. The method of multi-indicator immersion is used in the article to identify the main indicators of economic, inclusive growth and social components, which are due to the experience in nature management and characterize the development of social entrepreneurship. The calculations of the Inclusive Development Index of Social Entrepreneurship in Ukraine as a consolidated index according to the geometric formula, which comprised synthetic indicators of the human capital index to outline the inclusive range of components, brand index and index of environmental indicators, proved that today the ecological state of environment and health of the population have a significant negative impact on economic growth and welfare of the population.
Spatially distributed assessment and forecast of soil erosion losses as a basis for optimization the use of erosion-hazardous agricultural lands
Authors: Svitlychnyi Оleksandr О. , Chemerys Nadiia G.
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of sustainable use of agricultural lands in conditions of active manifestation of water soil erosion, which is typical for all natural zones of Ukraine, but to the greatest extent – for the Forest-Steppe and Steppe zone. The aim of the article is a spatially distributed quantitative assessment and forecast of soil erosion losses and the development on this basis of recommendations to optimize the use of agricultural land on the example of the Pidhayetskyi district of the Ternopil region. The area is located within the Western region of Ukraine with a fairly high intensity of water erosion, where in accordance with the long-term climate forecast a further increase in erosion hazard of land is expected. A quantitative assessment of soil erosion losses for the basic period (1961–1990) and forecast periods (2031–2050 and 2081–2100) was carried out using a spatially distributed physical-statistical GIS-model of soil erosion-sedimentation developed at the Department of Physical Geography, Nature Management and Geoinformation Technologies of Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University. Spatial realization of the model performed using the analytical capabilities of the Software for Environmental Modeling PCRaster (University of Utrecht, Netherlands). The forecast of the changes in the hydrometeorological conditions of water soil erosion was made using the forecast of monthly average air temperatures and monthly average precipitation, developed at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute. It established that most of the arable land (about 52 %) of Pidhayetskyi district is erosively dangerous. Due to the projected increase in summer rainfall in the middle and at the end of this century, further intensification of soil erosion is expected, especially in 2031–2050, when soil losses on arable land will increase to 16.9 t/ha/year, and only due to rainstorm erosion. Soil losses by meltwater will be insignificant. Based on the calculations, it was concluded that it is impossible to protect the agricultural lands of the region from erosional degradation without withdrawal from the arable land about 8.15 thousand hectares (28) of the most erosion-hazardous lands (with annual soil losses exceeding 20 tons per a hectare), changing the structure of sown areas and introduction a soil-protective adaptive-landscape farming system over a significant area.
Research underpinning the design of an optical sorting plant
Authors: Győrfi Alexandra , Leitol Csaba
Published: November 2021

In the sorting plant examined during the research, the sorting of the selectively collected mixed packaging waste is done by hand. Studies were performed on the quantitative changes of the waste stream entering and leaving the sorting plant, the composition properties according to the particle size, and lastly the number of pickings. The amount of incoming waste has increased linearly over the years. The sizes preferred by the optical separators were the guideline during the measurements. Sixty percentage of all incoming waste falls in the ideal range of 70–350 mm, 20% in the range of <70 mm and 20% in the range of >350 mm. Because there are significant differences in composition and quantities as the seasons and months alternate, these results provide important information for engineers designing a mechanized technology.
A Variation of Gene expression of Protein Translocon at the Outer Envelope of Chloroplast: a brief overview
Authors: Dutta Siddhartha , Singhal Rajneesh
Published: November 2021

In plants, the chloroplast is the site for essential functions that are critical for many biosynthetic pathways. Due to the transfer of majority of its genes to the host nucleus during the endosymbiotic event, a host majority of the chloroplast proteins are nuclear encoded and post-translationally
targeted into the chloroplast. Thus, protein trafficking into the chloroplast plays a pivotal role in regulation of chloroplast biogenesis. Among the various components of the translocon machinery, the translocon at the outer envelope of chloroplast (TOC) dictate the selectivity of the preproteins
that have to be imported into the chloroplast for proper chloroplast function. Studies of the components of the TOC complex suggest that change in expression of the genes for TOC complex critically influence the chloroplast biogenesis and other related plant processes. Owing to the advancement
in chloroplast biotechnology and increasing usage of chloroplast as a platform for crop improvement and production of biochemicals, it is of utmost importance to understand the expression pattern of the genes of the TOC complex. Using the publicly available gene expression database, we briefly
discuss the expression pattern of the genes of TOC complex at different growth, development and stress conditions. An overview of the gene expression responses of the TOC complex will enhance our understanding of the chloroplast physiology which is fundamentals to chloroplast engineering for
crop improvement and its industrial applications.

Multi-Label Classification Neural Networks with Hard Logical Constraints
Authors: Giunchiglia Eleonora , Lukasiewicz Thomas
Published: November 2021

Multi-label classification (MC) is a standard machine learning problem in which a data point can be associated with a set of classes. A more challenging scenario is given by hierarchical multi-label classification (HMC) problems, in which every prediction must satisfy a given set of hard constraints expressing subclass relationships between classes. In this article, we propose C-HMCNN(h), a novel approach for solving HMC problems, which, given a network h for the underlying MC problem, exploits the hierarchy information in order to produce predictions coherent with the constraints and to improve performance. Furthermore, we extend the logic used to express HMC constraints in order to be able to specify more complex relations among the classes and propose a new model CCN(h), which extends C-HMCNN(h) and is again able to satisfy and exploit the constraints to improve performance. We conduct an extensive experimental analysis showing the superior performance of both C-HMCNN(h) and CCN(h) when compared to state-of-the-art models in both the HMC and the general MC setting with hard logical constraints.

Published: November 2021

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 are bacterial pathogens that cause foodborne infections in humans. The objectives of this study were to find the pooled prevalence and concentration of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cattle, hides, carcass, and the environment in the United States of America using meta-analysis. The PRISMA and MOOSE research protocols were employed in the methodology. Weighted effect size was calculated using MetaXL software. A total of 1737 publications were screened, out of which 53 were selected for the final analysis. The pooled prevalence in feedlot cattle was 10.96% (95% CI: 4.2-18.8%). In dairy cattle a pooled prevalence of 1.5% (95% CI: 0.11-3.5%) was observed. The prevalence between feedlot and dairy cattle was significantly different (p<0.05). The herd prevalence in combined feedlot and dairy cattle was 31.7% (95% CI: 10.2-55.5%). Hide and carcass samples’ pooled prevalences were 54.7% (95% CI: 41.7-67.5%) and 21.3% (95% CI: 9.7-34.2%), respectively. Prevalence of environmental samples was 8.1% for produce (95% CI: 0-29.6%), 4.6% for watershed and sediment samples (95% CI: 0-12.2%), and 2.4% for water taken from troughs (95% CI: 0.39-5.1%). Significant difference was observed in individual, herd, and environment prevalence between regions (χ2 =903.14, p=0.0000; χ2 =11.06, p=0.0039; χ2 =13.59, p=0.0004, respectively). E. coli O157:H7 concentrations were highest in feces (900- 300,000 cfu/g), followed by hides (5-9,800 cfu/100 square cm), and carcass (1-189 cfu/100 square cm). At least one supershedder exists in a herd. The findings in this study showed that Escherichia coli O157:H7 serotype is widespread in feedlots, herds, hides, and carcass in the United States of America necessitating appropriate measures to prevent human illnesses. Improving management programs in cattle herds, reduction of environmental contamination, and hygienic slaughter practices are targets of intervention.
International Measures of Common Inflation

Published: November 2021

A key challenge for monetary policymakers in achieving their inflation goals—particularly important at the current juncture—is to be able to distinguish between persistent inflationary changes and short-term idiosyncratic shocks. The most common approach for filtering out short-term price shocks from inflation is to focus on measures of "core" inflation, traditionally defined as the change in the consumer price index (CPI) excluding food and energy prices.

Authors: ARSLAN Ümüt
Published: November 2021

Addressing career decidedness can help university students to increase wellbeing, and hope can be a positive and significant factor for future success. This study aims to examine the model which hypothesized the mediating role of hope in the link between career decidedness and subjective wellbeing of Turkish university students. Data were collected from 376 students (269 women and 107 men) from universities in Izmir, Turkey. The Career Decidedness Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and a demographic information form used as measurement tools. Pearson Correlation Test and regression-based path analysis (PROCESS) were used to analyse the data. Only four percent of the participants received career counseling. Pearson correlation test shows a positive correlation between all scales (p< .001) except negative effect and this one expectedly shows negative correlations with all scales (p < .01). The model testing via PROCESS Macro Model 4 indicated that career decidedness and hope showed a direct effect on subjective wellbeing (p < .001) and supported the mediating role of hope between career decidedness and subjective wellbeing (95 % LLCI = .86 and ULCI = 1.40). The role of hope in career development to increase subjective wellbeing with implications of the results and suggestions are discussed for counselors and researchers.

Authors: DENİZ Şule , KURT Gamze
Published: November 2021

This study aimed to reveal mathematical modeling processes and difficulties encountered in model-eliciting activities (MEAs) of 8th-grade students in a STEM education setting. This qualitative research is a case study conducted at a public school located in the central districts of a large province in the Mediterranean Region. The participants of the study are groups of 8th-grade middle school students in a classroom (five groups of students), which were selected with the purposeful sampling method in the 2019-2020 academic year. The student groups were applied an MEA according to a certain plan, and the students’ model-eliciting processes were recorded. Then, the participants’ modeling activity process and the cognitive activities they put forward through documents and interviews were examined by considering the stages in a mathematical modeling process. For this purpose, each group’s modeling process was analyzed qualitatively using the modeling cycle of Blum and Borromeo Ferri (2009). The results of the study revealed that these 8th-grade students faced some difficulties in the process of modeling. These difficulties were identified in 7 categories: understanding the problem, establishing a model, using mathematics, and explaining the results, - which are the four stages of the modeling process- working within a group, verifying the created model, and time management.

Published: November 2021

Interest in virtual reality technologies has increased significantly in recent years, and an effort is being made to integrate it into educational environments. This study aims to investigate the impact of synchronous distance courses in the Virtual Reality (VR) learning environment (via vAcademia) and Web-based (via Adobe Connect) learning environment on undergraduate students' learning motivation and levels of perceived sociability. The sample of the study was conducted with experimental (VR) and control group (Web-based) quasi-experimental design consists of 41 undergraduate students (experimental: 21, control: 20). As a result of the t-test and two-way ANOVA analysis, there was a significant difference between the groups in favor of the VR group regarding motivation and perceived sociability. The motivation and perceived sociability in the 3D VR environment of the students in distance learning were significantly higher than in the web-based environment. It was also found out that students' motivation and perceived sociability levels did not vary depending on gender or on the technological device (smartphone or computer) that students use when connecting to online classes. The research results indicated that the VR learning environment effectively ensured students' motivation and sociability in the distance learning process. In this context, institutions should be aware of the importance of VR technologies and plan to teach accordingly which may make the process more efficient.

Authors: Teoh George Boon Sai , Liau Agnes Wei Lin
Published: November 2021

Distance learners studying English confront emotionally demanding obstacles. A mixed methods study was conducted to explore the role that distance learners’ emotional intelligence (EI) plays as they learn English. In phase one of the study, 238 students responded to a composite questionnaire that yielded their EI scores, demography, and viewpoints regarding the English course. In phase two, 18 volunteers selected based on their EI scores were interviewed to obtain qualitative data to build upon the quantitative results. This paper presents a case study of a student called Aini. The findings revealed that Aini’s EI helped her manage her emotions, perceptions, and actions, and ultimately obtain her obligatory English credits for graduation. It is imperative to inculcate students’ EI to help them manage their emotions in order to adapt and persevere, not only when learning English via distance learning but also to successfully accomplish one’s goals in life.

Published: November 2021

The study examined Sand Dredged Environment of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria towards effective monitoring of sand mining mites and post-management techniques. Multi-stage random sampling was used to select nine (9) Local Government Areas and three (3) communities from the selected local Government Areas in Akwa Ibom State. Primary data were collected with structured questionnaires and focus group discussion. The study reveals that post-management guidelines of sand mining environment was not adopted in the study area to the failure in management of the environment in which a larger expanse of agricultural land have been converted to waste land and borrow pit. This work found that acquisition of sand mining permit was grossly ignored among sand miners in some mining communities, whereas other miners who obtained their permit deliberately hired too many dredgers in their allocated sand mining sites and the stakeholders mandated to monitor sand mining sites did not visit the sites and were relatively unaware of the illegal businesses going on in the sand mining sites. Chi-square was used to examine the impact of stakeholders on management of sand mining environment. The result indicated that a value of 204.565 at p<0.05 was obtained and it was concluded that stakeholders in the solid mineral exploration industry should re-direct their interest toward post-management of sand mining environment so as to restore degraded ecosystem for further land use purposes.

The purpose of this paper is to study the patterns of the formation of output values in hierarchical systems offuzzy inference. Hierarchical fuzzy inference systems (HFIS) are used to aggregate heterogeneous parameters during the assessment of the state of various elements of complex systems. The use of HFIS allows avoiding the "curse" of the dimension associated with a strong increase in the number and complication of the structure of the production rule, which is characteristic of conventional fuzzy inference systems (FIS), which aggregate the results of interaction of different values of input variables in one knowledge base. As part of the research, numerical experiments were carried out to study the features of the formation of output patterns in HFIS, based on FIS using the Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno algorithms. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that the output values of the studied HFIS tend to be grouped in the region of fixed values, and the output pattern itself acquires a stepwise character. The revealed property allows using HFIS to distribute the objects of the analyzed sample into groups of states. This property can be used to solve problems of distributing objects into groups in conditions when it is difficult to form a training sample for machine learning methods, but at the same time there is knowledge of the expert group about the features of the functioning of the object of research. Additionally, the paper investigates the features of the formation of output patterns depending on the parameters of the membership functions describing the input variables in HFIS, which are based on FIS using the Mamdani algorithm and HFIS, which are based on FIS using the Takagi-Sugeno algorithm.

Background. Prostate cancer (PCa) is well-known as the 2nd leading cause of death from malignant neoplasms among the males from developed countries. One of the variants of the disease - neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate (NECP) -manifests itself as the form of castration-resistant PCa. Distinctive manifestations of NECP include a low level of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), a high potential rate of metastasis, and resistance to hormone replacement therapy. There are very few medical publications on the possibilities of diagnosis and therapy of this type of tumor.

The objective of the study is to review the current foundations of pathogenesis, methods of diagnosis and treatment of patients with NECP.

Materials and methods. The data of modern medical literature from the PubMed/Crossref archives, from the Elsevier and Scopus databases for 1991-2020 were studied. The materials on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of NECP, as well as the methods of diagnosis and treatment of patients with this pathology are summarized. A comparative analysis of the levels of neuroendocrine markers in castration-resistant and localized forms of PCa was carried out. The schemes of combination therapy of NECP with the use of somatostatin analogs are considered.

Results. The detection rate of NECP is reduced due to the blurred clinical picture and morphological characteristics similar to poorly differentiated carcinoma. The basis for the diagnosis of NECP is the determination of the levels of neuronal markers - chromogranin A, neuron-specific enolase, and a number of potentially mitogenic hormones, including PTHrP, NT, serotonin, bombesin, calcitonin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. The worst prognosis was observed in patients with initially high levels of chromogranin A, which emphasizes the high significance of this indicator for monitoring NECP. The drug of choice in the treatment of patients with this pathology is the somatostatin analogue octreotide-depot, the use of which in combination with hormone replacement therapy leads to stabilization of PCa in 50 % of cases. During therapy with an analogue of somatostatin alone or in cases of tumor progression against the background of chemotherapy, a decrease in PSA level is noted in 50-60 % of cases, and PSA level stabilization - in 41.7-53.3 %.

Conclusion. We founded an insufficient number of randomized clinical trials of NECP, therefore, the prognosis of the development of this pathology remains completely unclear. The use of somatostatin analogues, along with targeted therapy, is the main choice of therapy for NECP, but requires further study in the program of randomized trials. If a positive result is obtained, it will be possible to use somatostatin analogs more widely to improve the quality and increase the life expectancy of patients with NECP.

Background. Urothelial carcinoma (UTC) is an aggressive disease with a known propensity for frequent recurrence. It is difficult to predict the velocity of the development of UTC recur using modern means of clinical diagnostics. Therefore, the development of the capabilities of histo-morphological study of tumor tissues is of particular relevance.

Materials and methods. The materials of publications (PubMed, CrossRef) for 1990-2021, devoted to the choice of biomarkers for the diagnosis of UTC, the analysis of molecular pathways, progression and metastasis, were studied. The search was carried out for the key phrases "urothelial carcinoma", "recurrent UTK", "stem cells", "biomarkers of bladder cancer", "genetic changes in urothelium", "circulating tumor DNA".

Results. Cancer stem cells serve as a source of UTC recurrence after removal from the primary focus, localizing in any areas of the urothelium, as well as outside the main tumor focus and are characterized by a common genotype, but different phenotypic manifestations. To predict the recurrence of the tumour is advisable to use gene expression signatures, since the subtypes of UTC are characterized by clear gene expression profiles. A larger sample and independent dataset is needed to confirm the clinical significance of the findings. Combined biomarkers predict UTC behavior, and FGFR3 and TP53 mutations can be components for a panel for predicting UTC recurrence. The use of the liquid biopsy method with the determination of the level of circulating tumor DNA is a promising diagnostic method that needs to evaluate the results of an initiated randomized trial.

Conclusion. The accumulation of knowledge base about the molecular patterns of UTC will help bridge the gap between the results of molecular genetic and clinical diagnostics. Molecular changes in the transitional cell UTC demonstrates a high potential for determining the timing of tumor recurrence, assessing disease-free survival of patients and for planning the resource base of the healthcare system.
Organizing the national prostate cancer audit in the UK (review of foreign literature)

Published: November 2021

Background. The growing number of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) imposes additional requirements on the quality control system in healthcare, including ensuring the widespread availability of innovative algorithms for early diagnosis and treatment. One illustrative example of quality management initiatives is national PCa audit in the UK. Objective. Highlighting the approaches to quality assessments within audit of PCa care in the UK.

Materials and methods. The relevant scientific data have been retrieved from Google and PubMed. The search horizon covered the last 10 years. The queries included such wording as: "prostate cancer" AND "audit" OR/AND "Great Britain" AND "quality assurance", etc.

Results. At least four basic parameters were used as signal indicators to check the consistency and overall quality of the collected data on PCa patients in England and Wales. The fundamental arrangement of clinical quality indicators for PCa care comprised not less than fourteen measures. The outliers for some indicators were allocated into two groups using such criteria as: 1) more than three standard deviations from the national average (definition of an alarm); 2) more than two but below three standard deviations from the national average (definition of an alert). The outlier policy is usually applied for three treatment outcome performance indicators.

Conclusion. The multidisciplinary teams must actively collaborate to provide the best standards of cancer care to the community. The introduction of multicriterial assessments to monitor the performance of highly specialized professional groups would bring a great benefit for cancer patients, particularly, through increasing the affordability of state-of-the-art medical algorithms across the counties.
