Secure Auditing and Deduplicating Data in Cloud
Authors: Singh A.
Published: June 2023

Abstract: With the widespread adoption of cloud computing, ensuring the security and integrity of data stored in the cloud has become a critical concern. This paper presents a novel approach for achieving secure auditing and deduplication of data in cloud environments. The proposed method addresses the challenges of data integrity verification and duplicate elimination while preserving the privacy of the stored data. By leveraging cryptographic techniques, including homomorphic encryption and Merkle hash trees, the system enables efficient and privacy- preserving auditing of data integrity. Additionally, a deduplication mechanism is integrated to eliminate redundant copies of data, reducing storage costs and improving efficiency. The proposed solution provides end-to-end security guarantees, ensuring that data remains confidential, unaltered, and readily available for authorized users. Extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach, making it a promising solution for secure data management in cloud environments
Relaxation of Multitime Statistics in Quantum Systems
Authors: Dowling Neil , Figueroa-Romero Pedro , Pollock Felix A. , Strasberg Philipp , Modi Kavan
Published: June 2023

Equilibrium statistical mechanics provides powerful tools to understand physics at the macroscale. Yet, the question remains how this can be justified based on a microscopic quantum description. Here, we extend the ideas of pure state quantum statistical mechanics, which focus on single time statistics, to show the equilibration of isolated quantum processes. Namely, we show that most multitime observables for sufficiently large times cannot distinguish a nonequilibrium process from an equilibrium one, unless the system is probed for an extremely large number of times or the observable is particularly fine-grained. A corollary of our results is that the size of non-Markovianity and other multitime characteristics of a nonequilibrium process also equilibrate.

Authors:   University of Latvia, Goba-Medne Līva , Rubene Zanda
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought teachers professional and personal challenges, creating particularly stressful crisis-like conditions for their learning and development. The aim of this qualitative study is to conceptualise teachers’ learning experiences that have accompanied the transformations of their professional activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Narrative interviews of teachers were conducted in Latvia in the spring/summer of 2022. They were coded and analysed according to thematic analysis method. This article entails the results of the first stage of the study. The study found that teachers’ learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic are characterised by the paradigm of transformative learning as overcoming. Thematic structure of the learning experiences was developed and comprises 4 themes (dealing with limitations, seeking support from community, learning on the go, drawing conclusions) as well as 13 subthemes, which describe teachers’ experiences in rich detail, revealing their complexity and variability. The article offers conclusions on the conceptualisations of teachers’ experiences, discusses support and conditions needed to benefit from the experience and points to the significant role of context, relationships, and dedication for teachers to have beneficial learning experiences accompanying the transformations of their professional activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reflective Writing as a Means Towards Teacher Professional Development
Authors:   Faculty of Early Childhood Education, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Kosmidou Evangelia , Sfyroera Maria
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to present how reflective writing contributed as a means for teachers’ professional development in the context of an action research project where a group of teachers engaged themselves on approaching diversity issues in their settings. During the preparation phase, participants were systematically involved in a variety of educational activities and workshops in order to approach reflective writing. At the next phase of the research, they were, thus, asked to carefully observe their contexts and their own practice and keep written records both from important “flash-points” they identified in their classroom and from the anti-bias sessions they conducted. As part of the process, they were invited to reflect on and submit copies of their records. Their writings were then discussed and commented on during feedback group meetings, where all participants shared their views and experiences in order to enrich their understandings. The different research data collected were analysed using qualitative and quantitative content analysis. According to the results, reflective writing proved an effective and powerful means for teacher professional evolution, although a number of significant challenges teachers were faced with were recognised. In order to overcome difficulties, individual and team support proved valuable allies. The small community of learning and practice that was gradually created seemed to have led to participants reconsidering their pedagogical perceptions, in the light of their critical interaction. The results of the study could contribute to the discussion about the significance of using reflective writing for teachers’ professional evolution.
Pedagogical Entrepreneurship in Teacher Education Curricula. Comparison of Latvian and Finnish Teacher Education Programs
Authors:   University of Latvia, Slišāne Agnese , Hyytenen Heidi ,   University of Helsinki
Published: June 2023

Earlier research has shown that teachers do not feel sufficiently prepared to develop entrepreneurial competences in the classroom, both theoretically and practically, and that the lack of pedagogical entrepreneurship competences hinders the development of entrepreneurial skills in the learning processes. The aim of this study is to analyse the extent to which entrepreneurial skills are emphasised in current teacher preparation programs and to identify differences between Latvian and Finnish educational programs. Curricula and course outlines from five teacher education programs in two different contexts were analysed. Deductive qualitative content analysis was based on 14 pedagogical entrepreneurship components identified in the previous studies. The results indicate that there are major differences between the programs how entrepreneurial skills were emphasised in the curricula and course outlines. In the data from Latvia, 10 from 14 components of pedagogical entrepreneur were acknowledged fully or partly at least in one of the four programs’ curricula and course outlines. In addition, four components were not identified in any of the programs’ curricula. In contrast, in the Finnish teacher education program, all 14 components of pedagogical entrepreneurship were acknowledged fully or partly in the analysed curriculum and course outlines. This bears consequences for what kind of opportunities to learn pedagogical entrepreneurship students have during their teacher education studies. Based on the research findings, more attention should be paid to entrepreneurship competences in teacher education curricula.
Measuring Student Teachers Level of Situation-Specific Skills for Need-Supportive Teaching
Authors:   Tallinn University, Georg Kadi , Poom-Valickis Katrin
Published: June 2023

In the contextual model of teacher competence by Blömeke et al. (2015), teachers’ situation-specific skills, like perception, interpretation, and decision-making (PID-skills) are regarded as central aspects that determine the performance of teachers in a classroom and are deemed as processes that revolve around student thinking and learning (Santagata & Yeh, 2016). Teachers’ ability to notice and meet students’ needs, in turn, influences their motivation and engagement in learning. In need-supportive teaching, teachers use instructional behaviors that support students’ basic psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. The aim of the current qualitative study was to assess student teachers’ level of PID-skills for needs supportive teaching. Due to the situative characteristics of PID-skills, authentic classroom videos were selected to assess student teachers’ noticing, analyzing and decision-making skills. After watching video clips, semi-structured interviews were carried out. Content analysis was used to discover what aspects student teachers notice; what is the level of their interpretation and decision-making. The study was conducted with 10 first-year MA-level students of several subjects teachers´ programme. The results of the study reveal that although noticing skills are of a good level, interpretation and decision-making skills can be described through lower levels, which indicate the need to pay more attention on the targeted development of student teachers PID-skills in teacher education.
Exploratory Study on Latvian Secondary School Teachers’ Understanding of the Concept of Scientific Literacy
Authors:   Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Davidsone Agnese , Silkane Vineta
Published: June 2023

Teachers’ scientific knowledge and understanding of science are prominent in determining how teaching scientific literacy will be integrated in the curriculum. However, in previous literature in-service teachers’ understanding of scientific literacy has not been studied sufficiently. This qualitative study aims to close this gap and explore how Latvian secondary school teachers (N = 23) understand the concept of scientific literacy. In our study, we distinguished three dimensions of scientific literacy: procedural, affective, and conceptual. Our results indicate that teachers associate scientific literacy mainly with the aspects related to procedural dimension: having knowledge about conducting a scientific study, applying scientific methods, and having an understanding about scientific concepts and processes. Teachers do not perceive themselves as highly scientifically literate for a variety of reasons. For the teachers interviewed, features of scientific literacy overlap with media and information literacy and critical thinking. We conclude that the teachers’ understanding only partly covers the depth and breadth of the concept of scientific literacy, and differs depending on teachers’ previous education and school subject thought. The importance of teachers’ (further) education in developing their understanding of the concept of scientific literacy is discussed.

sNASP mutation aggravates to the TLR4-mediated inflammation in SLE by TAK1 pathway
Authors: Bao Yatao , Lian Meng , Chen Yong , Gu Xiaotian , Cao Kunyu , Du Xiaoping , Ju Ji-Yu
Published: June 2023

Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic
lupus erythematosus, and abnormal TLR signaling pathways are closely
related to the onset of SLE. In previous studies, we found that the
mutant somatic nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein (sNASP) gene in the
mouse lupus susceptibility locus Sle2 can promote the development of
lupus model mice, but the mechanism is still unclear. Here, we
stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages with different concentrations of
LPS. The results showed that sNASP gene mutations can promote the
response of the TLR4-TAK1 signaling pathway, but have no significant
effect on the TLR4-TBK1 signaling pathway. sNASP mutations enhanced
TLR4-mediated NF-KB and MAPK activation and IL-6, TNF secretion in
murine peritoneal macrophages. Collectively, our study revealed the
impact of sNASP gene mutation on the sensitivity of TLR4 receptors in
mouse peritoneal macrophages and shed light on potential mechanisms
underlying inflammation in autoimmune diseases.
The role of environmental stress in fruit pigmentation
Authors: Espley Richard , Jaakola Laura
Published: June 2023

For many fruit crops, the colour of the fruit outwardly defines its
eating quality. Fruit pigments provide reproductive advantage for the
plant as well as providing protection against unfavourable environmental
conditions and pathogens. For consumers these colours are considered
attractive and provide many of the dietary benefits derived from fruits.
In the majority of species, the main pigments are either carotenoids
and/or anthocyanins. They are produced in the fruit as part of the
ripening process, orchestrated by phytohormones and an ensuing
transcriptional cascade, culminating in pigment biosynthesis. Whilst
this is a controlled developmental process, the production of pigments
is also attuned to environmental conditions such as light quantity and
quality, availability of water and ambient temperature. If these factors
intensify to stress levels, fruit tissues respond by increasing (or
ceasing) pigment production. In many cases, if the stress is not severe,
this can have a positive outcome for fruit quality. Here, we focus on
the principal environmental factors (light, temperature and water) that
can influence fruit colour.
Prognostic value of transglutaminase-2 overexpression in cancer patients: A Meta analysis
Authors: Tory Sehreen , Hasan Mojahidur , Arslan Yusuf , Saygideger Yasemin
Published: June 2023

Purpose Transglutaminase-2 (TG2) has been linked to cancer growth,
proliferation, invasion, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and
metastasis, according to recent studies. Although the prognostic value
of TG2 expression in a variety of cancer has been documented, it is
still unclear because different researches have reported contradictory
results. The goal of this study was to evaluate systematically the
prognostic value of TG2 expression in cancer patients. Methods Web of
Science, PubMed and Google scholar databases were searched up to 21
December, 2022. Eleven eligible studies were included in meta-analysis
for determining the prognostic value of TG2 in cancer patients. While
performing meta-analysis heterogeneity was checked by using I2 Cochran’s
Q statistic. Random effect model was used in meta-analysis. Publication
bias was assessed by using contour-enhanced funnel plots and Egger’s
test. Results Eight studies were used for the meta-analysis of overall
survival and found that having high expression of TG2 caused poor
overall survival (HR: 1.66, 95%CI: 1.07-2.56). For disease-free
survival, five studies included to the analysis and meta-analysis show
that having high expression of TG2 also caused poor disease-free
survival (HR: 1.68, 95%CI: 1.34-2.11). Conclusion:Our meta-analysis
showed that high TG2 expression level causes poor overall and
disease-free survival.
An Epidemiological Study on Cancer Mortality: a 15-year cross-sectional study
Authors: Alavi Seyed Alireza , Kazemian Seyedeh Vajiheh , Mosavi-Jarrah Alirezai , Bazaz Mojtaba Mousavi
Published: June 2023

Background: The burden of cancer is on the rise and its epidemiology
varies across different regions. Aims: To explore the epidemiology of
cancer mortality in Iran, the current study examined data from 2004 to
2018 for the population served by Sabzevar University of Medical
Sciences. Methods and results: This study collected data on cancer
mortality using a registration system that classified the causes of
death. The information was evaluated and analyzed using IBM SPSS Ver.22
at a significance level of 0.05, based on the ICD10 classification
system. Over a period of 15 years, the mortality rate for all causes was
848.54 per ten thousand people, while the rate for cancer was 96.57. The
median age of those who died from cancer was 68 years and it was higher
for men than women. The age group with the highest cancer mortality rate
was between 61 and 80 years old. Stomach, lung, and liver cancers were
the most common fatal cancers, but their order varied depending on
gender and region of residence. Throughout the entire 15-year period,
the mortality rate for cancer in rural areas was reported as 116.12 per
ten thousand people, while in urban areas it was 82.01. For men and
women, the rates were reported as 111.50 and 81.18 respectively. The
mortality rates for cancers of the esophagus, colon, pancreas, lung,
breast, prostate, bladder and central nervous system were increasing
over time while those for stomach, larynx and cervix were decreasing.
Conclusion: It is of utmost importance to have health plans and policies
in place that focus on preventing, detecting early, and treating cancers
that have high mortality rates. These policies should take into account
factors such as age, gender, and location. As cancer mortality rates
change over time, it is essential to update health policies and
decisions accordingly.
A keystone grazer drives saltmarsh carbon storage and recovery
Authors: Wittyngham Serina , Johnson David , Chen Yaping , Kirwan Matthew
Published: June 2023

Ecogeomorphic theory predicts that plant-sediment feedbacks regulate
carbon storage in coastal vegetated ecosystems. Yet, grazers, which
remove plant biomass and alter sediment properties, remain an
understudied driver of carbon cycling. We used field-derived and remote
sensing data to examine how consumer fronts of the keystone grazer,
Sesarma reticulatum, mediate carbon storage, flux, and recovery
in salt marshes. We observed accelerating rates of Sesarma front
migration that led to a decrease in carbon stocks by 40-70%. Despite
latitudinal differences, front migration rate had no effect on carbon
stocks, flux, or replacement time. Lastly, when we included
Sesarma disturbance in carbon flux calculations, we found that it
may take 5-100 years for marshes to replace lost carbon, if at all.
Combined, we show that small grazers cause a net loss in carbon stocks
as they move through the landscape, and irrespective of migration rate,
these grazer-driven impacts persist for decades.

Changes in the structure of biological macromolecules, such as RNA and
protein, have an important impact on biological functions, and are even
important determinants of disease pathogenesis and treatment. Some
genetic variations, including copy number variation, single nucleotide
variation, and so on, can lead to changes in biological function and
increased susceptibility to certain diseases by changing the structure
of biological macromolecules. Here, we reviewed the progress of research
about the effects of genetic variation on the structure of
macromolecules including RNAs and proteins, several typical methods and
common tools, and the effect on several diseases. An online resource
(http://www.onethird-lab.com/gems/) to support convenient retrieval of
common tools is also built. Finally, the challenges and future
development of effect prediction were discussed.

Stratospheric sulfate aerosols play a key role on atmospheric chemistry
and Earth’s radiation budget, but their size distribution, a critical
parameter in climate models, is generally poorly-known. We address such
gap for the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (HT-HH) volcanic eruption by
exhaustively analyzing a set of satellite observations together with
photometric ground observations from the worldwide open-access AERONET
network. We document a rapid growth of HT-HH sulfate aerosols in the
days following eruption, faster than observed for other stratospheric
eruptions, likely due to the exceptional hydration of the stratosphere
by this phreatomagmatic eruption. An unusual aerosol fine mode (peak
radius in 0.3-0.5 microns) is identified at 20 stations of the southern
hemisphere until May 2023 (time of writing). Nevertheless, 1.4 years
after eruption, HT-HH sulfate aerosols remain smaller than 1991 Pinatubo
particles. Smaller aerosols backscatter more efficiently visible light
and sediment more slowly than larger particles, implying stronger and
longer-lasting negative radiative forcing.

Published: June 2023

The main aim of the article is to explore the self-education and ways of teacher competence formation. In the context of rapid informational flow, a number of high requirements are imposed on school education in the era of scientific and technological progress.The school should not only equip the younger generation with scientific knowledge, but also instill in them the skills of independent acquisition of knowledge, free labor skills, intellectual work culture, independent thinking, self-education, better readiness for independent work. This is one of the important directions of modern education reform. Self-education is one of the very necessary rings in a united complex intellectual work. This type of activity, which includes elements of independent activity, was in the center of attention in all structures and stages of public life as a means of improving socio-political and vocational training and acquiring knowledge by a person, besides has always attracted people with progressive views and has been highly appreciated it basing on its" utility coefficient”. Very little attention was paid to the work on the organization and implementation of self-educational activities of specialists engaged in professional activities, it was not considered as a means corresponding to self-educational upbringing, personal development and self-control skills.It should be added that in pedagogy there is no complete concept on self-education and teacher competence.
A MODEL OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ON THE EXAMPLE OF UNIVERSITIES OF THE SZECHUAN PROVINCE OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Authors: Lang Jin
Published: June 2023

In the article, the author described the model of organizational culture development. Using the example of the Southwest University of Finance and Economics, Chengdu, the author identified the elements of the organizational culture model. The basis for the development of organizational culture is the interdependence of factors, principles, and trends in the work of a higher education institution. The first level involves the development of a system of organizational culture management goals at the university in a real cultural space. Based on these goals, a unique strategy is formed. The second level of organizational culture development involves the integration of the content and technologies of its implementation at the internal university level, as well as at the level of inter-university interaction. The third level involves the structuring of managerial aspects of organizational culture, various methods of monitoring and current evaluation of organizational culture of the university. The article emphasizes that universities in Sichuan province are open to innovation and international cooperation. But the universities of this province have strong traditions and a classical hierarchy in management. For the organic combination of traditions and innovations in the management of organizational culture, the goals are to improve the quality of management subjects and obtain economic, social, scientific and technical, ecological and other effects. The combination of traditions and innovations in the development of the organizational culture of universities in Sichuan province involves successive elements of the content of management: initiation, marketing, release, implementation, monitoring, evaluation of effectiveness, diffusion of an integrated idea. The success of the organizational culture model of universities depends on the coordination and coordinated productive cooperation of all participants in the educational process, structures that are interested in the quality of education. Therefore, the author emphasized: the board should combine traditions and innovations; the university functions as self-sufficient, provides appropriate training of managers, coordinators and teachers; creation of conditions for self-realization of the individual, socially significant productive creative activity; favorable microclimate and support for young scientists.
PATRIOTIC EDUCATION THROUGH LITERATURE
Authors: Kaleniuk Svitlana , Zhuravleva Margarita
Published: June 2023

The article considers the definitions of such concepts as patriotism, patriot, and patriotic education. The authors determine the importance and urgency of the problem of patriotic education at the present development stage of our country. It is justified the contribution of Ukrainian literature during the upbringing of students as a whole and amidst patriotic education. Using the works of specific writers, the authors prove how they spawn patriotic feelings toward the Motherland in students. The scholarly paper emphasizes that learning Ukrainian literature in school is one of the first steps toward bringing up genuine patriots devoted to their state. Moreover, Ukrainian literature is a strong carrier of the nation's identity and genetic code, so its role in national self-awareness, self-preservation, and self-affirmation is indisputable and crucial. The article highlights that the education of a conscious Ukrainian should be based on historical and cultural knowledge, traditions, and rethinking of modern experience by relying on universal values. It is substantiated that acquaintance with a fiction piece and a comprehensive analysis of the content, genre, and aesthetic specifics will bring students closer to understanding literature as a manifestation of art, a solid factor in world perception and self-identification. The research states that without literature, there can be no axiological understanding of life in which a person plays various roles.

The development of the digital environment covers almost all spheres of life. Today, every person needs a wide range of digital knowledge, abilities, and skills in the intelligent use of the latest technologies for education, professional activities, and participation in society. Special attention is paid to providing the educational process of institutions of higher military education with appropriate digital technologies that would meet modern challenges and ensure the support and development of modern digital competencies of teachers. The article presents the results of an empirical study of the peculiarities of the development of digital competences among scientific and scientific-pedagogical employees of institutions of higher military education. It was established that in the conditions of digital challenges, the role of a teacher of a higher military education institution as a provider of digital transformations and the formation of his digital competence becomes important. It was noted that the majority of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers paid due attention to the issue of systematic application of information technologies in professional activities. It was established that teachers need the development of digital competence related to the work of gamification tools, content visualization for solving practical, professional and general educational goals. It was determined that the digital competence of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers of institutions of higher military education should be considered as the newest type of literacy, which is associated with special knowledge, skills, and practical skills for activities in a digital educational environment. Mandatory structural components of a teacher's digital competence are computer literacy, information literacy, communicative literacy, and safety in the digital environment. The development of digital competences of teachers will contribute to the establishment of interaction with students, overcoming the digital gap between participants in the educational process, the development of digital literacy of students, and their conscious use of digital technologies for their own realization in the conditions of a digital society.

THE MODEL OF A NEW UKRAINIAN RURAL SCHOOL AS A GUIDING PRINCIPLE FOR THE FUTURE
Authors: Nesterenko Inna
Published: June 2023

A small rural school has several orders of magnitude and fewer possibilities for meeting educational goals. The remoteness of settlements from scientific centers, the worse level of provision of the educational and material base, and the level of professional training of teachers, which does not always meet the requirements of work, caused this. A small school is not only to give students a sum of knowledge on the basics of science but also to teach them to think creatively, avoiding templates. The time under martial law in which our children are growing up is difficult. In today's whirlwind, adults can't always withstand enormous stress, so we rarely think about how our children live now. For those, we meet occasionally and for whom we are accountable to their parents and society. Education in rural schools is a cornerstone for discussion, and not only in our country. The debate continues, but in most cases, the arguments are not in favor of supporting small rural schools with small classes when there is an alternative at a reasonable distance. Rural schools in Ukraine, despite their high cost, cannot provide quality and affordable education services. The availability of premises and a few students in a class are all advantages of rural education. Success in rural areas significantly lags indicators of success in the city. And the results of the External Independent Evaluation (ZNO), both at the national level and in individual regions, confirm this every year. According to international experience and research, the most acceptable method of reform is school network optimization and the preservation of small schools only in remote, physically isolated communities, where it is simply impossible to transport students and teachers to school in an acceptable period. Optimization makes it possible to use funds and improves the quality of education in rural areas.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION DEGREE PROGRAMS IN THE USA
Authors: Shumaieva Svitlana
Published: June 2023

Based on the analysis of materials it was revealed that during a significant period of time in the United States the main goal of children with limited capabilities was to gain access to proper general education. Due to the active movement of civil rights for all citizens of the United States the U.S. government adopted a number of legislative acts that could access students with special educational needs to general education. A large number of students who needed special educational conditions provoked a deep rethinking of the training process that could professionally provide necessary training. By analyzing, it was revealed that the training of a teacher of special education involves producing information about the development of students with special educational needs and methods of their correction during learning and education. For this reason, all special education training programs are generally included following subjects relating to applied behavior analysis, mental disorder practice, auxiliary technologies, ways to eliminate language learning, educating pupils with autism or deep mental disorders, typical and atypical early child development, etc. However, it was revealed that every University has certain variations on initial requirements for the introduction, methods of teaching, training duration, internship passage, obtaining the final document and so on.

Въз основа на анализа на прецедентната практика на Европейския съд по правата на човека се открояват основните му правни позиции по делата за лишаване от родителски права, отнемане на дете и отмяна на осиновяване, които играят най-съществена роля при разрешаването на семейни спорове, свързани с приложението на чл. 8 от Конвенцията. Установено е, че цитираните в статията случаи показват неоправдана и непропорционална намеса на държавните органи в упражняването на правото на зачитане на семейния живот на жалбоподателите, което не отговаря на изискванията "необходими в едно демократично общество" за постигане на такова цел; наличие на действия на държавни органи извън тяхната преценка, довели до дисбаланс между интересите на бащата и детето; недостатъчни на аргументи от страна на държавните органи за оправдаване на намесата в семейния живот, довела до прекъсване на семейните връзки; ненасочване на решенията на националния съд към защита на "правата и свободите" на детето, в резултат на което са нарушени интересите на детето. Като се вземат предвид спецификата на семейните дела, гарантирани от Конвенцията, пропорционалността на намесата на държавните органи в семейния живот, справедлив баланс между интересите на родителите и интересите на децата и правния процес на вземане на решения от държавните органи и националните съдилища трябва да се вземат предвид при уреждането на юридическите факти в семейните правоотношения. Направеният анализ позволява ни да направим изводи, че правните позиции на Европейския съд по правата на човека трябва да се вземат предвид в дейността на държавните органи, националните съдилища, други законотворчески и правотълкувателни дейности в областта на правното регулиране на семейни отношения.

The purpose of our study was to determine the effect of melatonin on the characteristics of fibrinolysis in the brain of rats with dexamethasone diabetes. Materials and Methods. The experimental study was carried out on thirty male eighteen- month-old non-linear white rats. The experimental rats were divided into three groups: 1) intact animals (control group); 2) rats with untreated dexamethasone diabetes; 3) rats, what were administered by melatonin in a dose of 10 mg per kg of body weight intragastrically daily through a metal probe during the 13 days of experiment in addition to dexamethasone injection. Results. In the cerebral cortex of rats with diabetic neurodegeneration on the 14th day of the experiment, an increase in total fibrinolysis due to enzymatic fibrinolysis was found. Thus, TFA increased by 10%, and EFA by 15% compare to the indicators of animals of the control group. In the hippocampus, NFA indicators did not change, and EFA increased by 25% compared to the indicators of control group. Daily oral administration of melatonin (10 mg/kg) to rats with diabetes-induced neurodegeneration did not significantly affect the EFA index in the cerebral cortex, but contributed to a 15% decrease in this indicator in the hippocampus, compared to the indicators of diabetic rats that did not receive any correction agents. The indicators of TFA and NFA both in the cerebral cortex and in the hippocampus were not significantly different from the indicators of rats with diabetes. Conclusions. A decrease in the intensity of the fibrinolysis process was noted in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats that, in addition to dexamethasone injections, were orally administered melatonin daily for 13 days.
ASSESSMENT OF THE RECEPTIVITY OF THE ENDOMETRIUM TO STEROID HORMONES IN WOMEN WITH CHRONIC ENDOMETRITIS
Authors: Kіriya Diana
Published: June 2023

Chronic endometritis (CE) is one of the main pathologies that lead to female infertility. Although research on the molecular and biological features of the endometrium in this disease has been conducted for a long time, the problem of studying the morphotype of CE remains relevant. Today, there is no universally accepted panel of immunohistochemical markers that would allow to fully evaluate the status of the endometrium before and after treatment, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy. The purpose of our study was to study the features of the expression of markers of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors in order to make a prognosis for the recovery of patients with a possible subsequent pregnancy. For this, 2 research groups were formed using Peipel biopsies of female patients. Group I included cases before treatment, group II – after treatment. During the study, it was found that the criterion for the success of the treatment is a relative decrease of ER- and PR-positive cells both in the stroma (p<0.0001) and in the epithelium of the endometrium (p<0.0001). It was also found, that the expression of PR by the epithelium of the glands shouldn`t exceed 50% (p<0.0001), while for ER the critical level hasn`t been established (p=0.77) and it is possible to judge only the relative decrease in the expression of the marker.
Advances in Genomics: Crops Adapting to Climate Change

In a world where food consumption is rising, climate change poses a severe danger to feeding a growing population. Previously, increased agricultural output was achieved by using fertilizer and insecticides for improved weed and pest control. However, these techniques rely on exhaustible resources and are frequently unstable. Current developments in advanced genetics are paving the door for long-term agricultural intensification and greater global warming crop adaptability. The amount of quality genomic information accessible has been rapidly increasing as a result of the widespread usage of genome sequencing technology. The increasing availability of genomic data has facilitated the shift to plant pan-genomics, allowing researchers to easily know the diversity and available traits for crop improvement and cultivar development. These advancements enhance genomic-assisted breeding, which allows for the quick engagement of candidate genes in climatic conditions and agricultural characteristics, enabling the development of resilient crops.
