Activer les motivations intrinsèques des bénéficiaires pour des projets de conservation et développement plus durables
Authors: Ezzine de Blas Driss
Published: June 2021

Comment concevoir des projets de conservation et développement qui permettent des changements durables ? Comment en augmenter l’efficacité et la légitimité ? Les incitations économiques classiques des politiques environnementales (certification, gestion durable des forêts, paiements pour services environnementaux, crédits verts, etc.) sont efficaces à court terme mais leur performance environnementale n’est pas forcément assurée à long terme. En revanche, lorsque les motivations intrinsèques des bénéficiaires sont activées, ceux-ci s’approprient mieux les objectifs des interventions : ils font preuve d’un changement de comportement plus durable. De récentes recherches croisant l’économie du comportement et la psychologie sociale, menées dans le cadre de ce type de projets, ouvrent une voie riche et complémentaire pour mobiliser ce potentiel humain latent. Considérer les motivations intrinsèques, c’est prendre conscience de l’importance de la dimension psychologique de toute action. Les décideurs et les bailleurs du développement et de la recherche peuvent s’en saisir et intégrer dans leurs appels à projets des méthodes pour les identifier et les activer.

Published: June 2021

Nowadays educational migration is still one of the most relevant topics for Russian and foreign scientists and understudied topic at the same time. Despite the many published sources including quantitative and qualitative aspects of the process, the set of topics under consideration is quite limited (adaptation of foreign students, brain drain, demographical characteristics of migrants, etc.). The article using scientific principles of systematicity and general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, classification, etc.) considers the dynamics of the changes in the amount of foreign students from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States to the Russian Federation (including which countries they are from), correlation of the process with forming-up Common Education Space in Russia and CIS. The study conducted led to the conclusion that the actions by government agencies of the Russian Federation, higher education institutions and scientific organizations allowed stopping the negative process of foreign students drain, which took place in 1990-s, promoting and increasing the educational migrant influx from the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States from 2000 to 2007. Among the leaders in the number of students studying at Russian universities, in early 1990-s there were Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belorussia and in 2017 there were Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The Concrete Notion of the Ready-To-Hand Equipment: A Dialectical View on the Existential Analytic
Authors: Karimov Artur Ravilevich , Guryanov Aleksei Sergeyevich , Minnullina Elina Borisovna
Published: June 2021

The article explores one of the aspects of Heidegger's existential analytic – everyday dealings with ready-to-hand equipment (tools). The author’s aim is to analyze the phenomenon of equipment in a broader perspective to widen the borders of everyday being-in-the-world characterized by routine nonthematic dealings with things that distract man from his true being. The author claims that in everyday use man discovers only functionality of equipment which cannot be considered its genuine grasp. The actual knowledge of things is accessible mainly to their creators for whom they are not ready-to-hand tools but the aim of their thematic investigative thought. The concrete notion of a thing is developed by those who know the origin and formation of things. Accordingly, Dasein’s everyday concern for the world is not the primary mode of being-in-the-world. The primary one is the master's non-daily creative work in his being-in-the-world which allows him/her to discover true being of things.

Religious Habitus of Neopentecostalists and Community Life
Authors: Aleksandrova Nadezhda Nikolaevna
Published: June 2021

This article is devoted to one of the most active Christian movements - neo-Pentecostalism. To describe the functioning of neo-Pentecostal communities in Russia, the article uses the concept of "habitus" by P. Bourdieu, thanks to which it is possible to show the role of ministry practice in the everyday communal life and the religious everyday life of a believer. The concept of "religious habitus" in the article is understood as a system of stable dispositions, functioning as a structuring principle, generating and organizing practices and beliefs, thereby setting the daily routine of a religious community. The article also examines the neo-Pentecostal teaching about the "pentahedral" ministry, about the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" and the activities of the church, and the structural principles of a religious community functioning. It is shown that a believer, within the framework of socialization in the community, goes through the following stages: calling to service, professionalization, independent service, mentoring in service. Based on field research and presented narratives, it was revealed that the choice of religious service occurs according to the following types: on the recommendation of community leaders, arbitrary disclosure of the "Holy Spirit" gifts, by personal choice, and according to the rehabilitation type. The article raises the following question: can we talk about religious service as a religious practice or as a value-rational type of religious action?

“ENTERING LIFE” OF POETRY BY E.T.A. HOFFMANN AND GÜNTER GRASS
Authors: Etaryan Yelena
Published: June 2021

In this scientific article, it is assumed that the literary works of the Nobel Prize laureate and the German national poet Günter Grass are characterized by romantic features. For this reason, the novel Ein weites Feld (“A Wide Field”) by Grass and the fairy tale Der goldene Topf (“The Golden Pot”) by E.T.A. Hoffmann are examined in terms of their similarities and differences. It is noteworthy that E.T.A. Hoffmann has so far only been associated with Grass in relation to his fairy tale “Klein Zaches, called Zinnober”, and the main hero of the fairy tale served as a literary model for Oskar Matzerath from “The Tin Drum”. Thus, this article makes it possible to throw a new light on Grass’es research. In this paper the following aspects are analyzed: questions of poetics, genesis, main characters, narrative or fictional levels, structural principles, as well as the role of the reader. The results are summarized in the final part of the investigation.

Authors: Rashidi Azar , Kazemi Golverdi Mohammad Reza , Soltani Abbas Ali
Published: June 2021

"Tanjim" means "belief in the effect of the state of the constellations and the movement of stars in human life and terrestrial events" is one of the topics that have long been of interest to humans, including Muslims. The existence of some narrations, for or against this issue, has caused the jurists of Islamic religions to disagree about its permission or sanctity. As far as it is mentioned in Shiite jurisprudential books as one of the forbidden achievements. The issues related to the jurisprudential ruling of Tanjim can be examined in four areas; The principle of entering the discussion of stars and astronomy; Teaching and learning it; Practice it; and acquire it. In this research, in a descriptive-analytical manner, with the information obtained from the library method, and by analyzing the narrations, we examine the arguments of the jurists of the two sects in the second area. Research findings show that; The teaching of astrology is permissible and sometimes recommended if it means astronomy and cosmology. However, it is forbidden if it requires other prohibitions, such as believing in the independent influence of the stars in terrestrial events, or their association with God, lying, or foretelling suspicious matters.

Synthesis and Electrochemical Performance of Electrostatic Self-Assembled Nano-Silicon@N-Doped Reduced Graphene Oxide/Carbon Nanofibers Composite as Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Authors: Cong Ruye , Park Hyun-Ho , Jo Minsang , Lee Hochun , Lee Chang-Seop
Published: June 2021

We report a self-assembly synthesis of silicon nanoparticles/nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/ carbon nanofiber (Si@N-doped rGO/CNF) composites as potential high-performance anodes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIB) through the electrostatic attraction between amino and carboxyl groups. Nitrogen atoms generate a large number of vacancies or defects on the graphite plane, providing additional transmission channels for the diffusion of lithium ions, and improving the conductivity of the electrode. Carbon nanofiber (CNF) can help maintain the stability of the electrode structure and prevent silicon nanoparticles from falling off the electrode, prevent silicon nanoparticles from being directly exposed to the electrolyte, and can form a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. The three-dimensional conductive structure composed of Si, nitrogen atom-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-doped rGO), and CNF can effectively buffer the volume changes of silicon nanoparticles, shorten the transmission distance of lithium ions (Li+) and electrons, and make the electrode have good conductivity and stability in mechanical properties. In addition, compared with the Si@N-doped rGO and Si/rGO/CNF composite electrode, the Si@N-doped rGO/CNF composite electrode shows good cycle performance and rate capability, and its reversible specific capacity can reach 1418.8 mAh/g. The capacity retention rate is 64.7%, and the coulomb efficiency is 95%.

Published: June 2021

Participatory planning is a necessity. Unfortunately, participatory planning has various problems that make it ineffective. Human resource capacity as an input factor for participatory planning is still inadequate. The participatory planning process has not optimized the best way of producing the outputs that are needed by the community. Spatial aspects of planning, activities in the space, and budgeting must be aligned. However, empirical facts show the inconsistency of development planning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between community participation in planning and regional development performance through spatial planning, development, and budget planning alignment, as the mediating variable. This study explore measurement of all three variables using quantitative indicators. The results of this study, using SEM PLS, indicate that the direct relationship of community participation and the performance of infrastructure development is significant if it does not include the mediation variable.  Process, results of participatory planning, alignment of spatial and development plans, and alignment of strategic plans with work plans are significant variables. Therefore, local governments need to make efforts to improve participation processes in spatial planning and development so as to improve the regional development planning alignment and performance

Изучена ультраструктура основных отделов нефрона мезонефроса костистых рыб Чёрного моря (пелагических Trachurus mediterraneus (Steindachner, 1868) и Chelon auratus (Risso, 1810); придонных Diplodus annularis (Linnaeus, 1758) и Spicara flexuosa Rafinesque, 1810; донных Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758, Gobius niger Linnaeus, 1758 и Mullus barbatus ponticus Essipov, 1927). Показано, что у рыб Чёрного моря, обитающих на разных глубинах и находящихся в различных условиях осмотической нагрузки среды, на тканевом уровне организации нефроны имеют единый план строения и формируют гломерулярные почки. Приспособленность рыб к обитанию на определённых глубинах в первую очередь проявляется в увеличении количества и размеров митохондрий всех типов эпителиальных клеток нефрона. Кроме того, отмечено уменьшение площади почечных телец, длины подоцитов и высоты эпителиоцитов канальцев, а также длины щёточной каёмки проксимальных канальцев I типа. Цитологические особенности нефрона пелагических, придонных и донных рыб характеризуют высокую адаптационную способность клеточных структур мезонефроса.

Published: June 2021

The most famous Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) is one of the cheapest and rapidly evolving networks in modern communication. It can be used to sense various substantial and environmental specifications by providing cost-effective sensor devices. The development of these sensor networks is exploited to provide an energy-efficient weighted clustering method to increase the lifespan of the network. We propose a novel energy-efficient method which utilizes the Brainstorm algorithm in order to adopt the ideal CH to reduce energy-draining. Further, the effectiveness of the BrainStorm Optimization (BSO) algorithm is enhanced with the incorporation of the Modified Teacher-Learner Optimized(MTLBO) algorithm with it. The modified BSO-MTLBO algorithm can be used to attain an improved throughput, network lifetime, and to reduce the energy consumption by nodes and CH, death of sensor nodes, routing overhead. The performance of our proposed work is analyzed with other existing approaches andinference that our approach performs better than all the other approaches.

Published: June 2021

BCL2 was the first ever known gene for anti-apoptotic activity, that encodes for essential proteins of the external mitochondrial membrane. Regarding tumorigenesis, deregulated BCL2 expression and related proteins have been recognized as characteristic of several human cancers and there is concrete evidence that the deregulated expression of BCL2 like proteins plays a vital role in tumor development, persistence and therapeutic resistance. Therefore, it is important to identify the polymorphisms of BCL2 that are both structurally and functionally important for research to find their possible malfunctions and therapeutics. For this reason, in our research, we have used a variety of bioinformatics tools to recognize the most destructive nsSNPs that may be important for the structure and function of BCL2. In silico tools, PROVEAN, SIFT, SNP&GO, PhD SNP, and PolyPhen2 included a variety of other tools such as I Mutant, MutPred, and ConSurf, to study their conservation profiles to validate their stability, structural, and functional impacts. Post-transcriptional alteration sites were also predicted followed by application of 3-D mapping with I-TASSER and Phyre2 tools. Furthermore, the gene interactions were mapped via STRING and GeneMANIA. We also found that nsSNPs Q118R (rs759928495), G193R (rs1197820694), R129C (rs777784952), and Ll81V (rs752310933) are the most destructive nsSNPs in BCL2 genes that can have a vital part in BCL2 protein defects and possibly cause different cancers. Gene-gene interactions showed relation of BCL2 with other genes depicting its importance in several pathways and co-expressions. This research is the first of its kind and offers future prospects for the development of dedicated medicines as well. In the animal models, the effects of BCL2 can also be tested in diseases. Such should be the study of BCL2 proteins from cancer patients. The effects of BCL2 can also be tested on animal models.
Forecasting Solar Energy Consumption Using A Fractional Discrete Grey Model With Time Power Term
Authors: Wang Huiping , Wang Yi
Published: June 2021

Accurate prediction of energy consumption is an important basis for policymakers to formulate and improve energy policies and measures. In this paper, a new grey prediction model FDGM(1,1, tα ) is proposed. The grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is used to optimize the fractional-order r and the time power α in the model. A numerical example and four sets of solar energy consumption data (France, South Korea, OECD, and Asia Pacific region) are used to establish the FDGM(1,1, tα ) model. Based on the idea of metabolism, the solar energy consumption of the above four economies in the next 10 years is predicted. The results show that the FDGM(1,1, tα ) model is more reliable and effective than the other seven grey models. From 2020 to 2029, the solar energy consumption in South Korea, the OECD, and the Asia Pacific region will gradually increase; the solar energy consumption in France will slowly increase in the next few years and will gradually decrease after reaching a peak in 2026. The grey prediction model FDGM(1,1, tα ) proposed in this paper has strong adaptability and can be used not only for the prediction of solar energy consumption but also for the prediction of other energy sources.

To determine the source of April 2019 storm event in south-western Iran, stable isotopic technique (2H and 18O) of precipitation were used. The unique event, with a mean of 230 mm/year, i.e. 46% of the annual rainfall over four days, caused large dams on Dez and Karkheh rivers to overflow and a great deal of casualties and financial losses. To determine the characteristics of stable isotopes 2H and 18O of this event, 43 samples of rain water were collected in the area about 41,000 (Km)2 in south-western Iran with altitudes between zero to 2814 m (m.a.s.l). The local meteoric water line (LMWL) was prepared during the storm event and compared with the global, Mediterranean and other parts of Iran as well as neighbouring countries. According to the LMWL equation (δ2H = 6.5996 δ 18O + 7.561) and d-excess (with average 7.85 ‰), the source of precipitation was the integration of the meteoric masses of Mediterranean and Red Sea. There was a low correlation between the altitude increase and the 18O decrease (0.13 per 100 meters), which is a characteristic of this storm event. This isotopic study has proven the impact of Sudanese mass on the occurrence of storm event in south-western Iran for the first time isotopically.

In the current study, a novel process of ex-situ biogas upgrading to biomethane is presented which is based on a system consisted of anaerobic sludge and zero valent iron (ZVI). The ZVI when is added in an aquatic system with anaerobic granular sludge generates H2 under anaerobic abiotic conditions. Then, the H2 and CO2 are converted by the hydrogenotrophic methanogens to CH4. Biogas upgrading to biomethane was achieved in 4 days in a system of anaerobic granular sludge, 50 g L1 ZVI initial pH 5 and 20 g L1 NaHCO3. In this system when zero valent scrap iron (ZVSI) was added instead of ZVI required longer period (21 days) to achieve biogas upgrading. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis in raw biogas (in system of anaerobic sludge and ZVI) showed mainly the reduction of low mass straight- and branched-chain alkanes (C6-C10); however, no other particular trend regarding the removal of other VOCs was observed. H2S and NH3 were found to be substantially reduced, when the anaerobic sludge was exposed to ZVI compared to no decrease in serum bottles free of ZVI.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common non-small cell lung cancer, with an increasing incidence and poor prognosis. To evaluate the prognosis of LUAD patients and optimize treatment, effective clinical research prediction models are urgently needed. Methods : In this study, we thoroughly mined LUAD genomic data from GEO (GSE43458, GSE32863, and GSE27262) and TCGA datasets, including 698 LUAD and 172 healthy (or adjacent normal) lung tissue samples. Single-factor Cox and LASSO regression analyses were used to screen DEGs related to patient prognosis, and multivariate Cox regression analysis was applied to establish the risk score equation and construct the survival prognosis model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analyses with clinically independent prognostic parameters were performed to verify the predictive power of the model and further establish a prognostic nomogram. Results: A total of 380 DEGs were identified in LUAD tissues through GEO and TCGA datasets, and 5 DEGs (TCN1, CENPF, MAOB, CRTAC1 and PLEK2) were screened out by multivariate Cox regression analysis, indicating that the prognostic risk model could be used as an independent prognostic factor (HR = 1.520, P < 0.001). Internal and external validation of the model confirmed that the prediction model had good sensitivity and specificity (AUC = 0.754, 0.737). Combining genetic models and clinical prognostic factors, nomograms can also predict overall survival more effectively. Conclusion: A 5-mRNA-based model was constructed to predict the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma, which may provide clinicians with reliable prognostic assessment tools and help clinical treatment decisions.

Background: In this current work we aimed to find the effect of four different single Nucleotide Polymorphisms(SNPs) rs1122608(SMARCA4)，rs2230806(ABCA1), rs12563308（ANGPTL3）,and rs662799（APOA5 ) on coronary heart disease(CHD) in a Han Chinese population in Xinjiang region of China. Methods: This study involved 914 subjects with 493 CHD patients and 421 healthy controls. The genotype distribution of analyzed and their relations with CHD risk factors were assessed.Results: No statistical differences were found in genotype and allele distributions of above SNPs between CHD and healthy controls (P>0.05). Serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was higher in in TT genotype of rs1122608 when compared with GT and GG genotypes (P< 0.01) in CHD patients ; serum triglyceride(TG) level was higher in rs662799 GG genotype than GA and AA genotypes(P <0.00); AA of rs662799 was associated with higher HDL-C level compared with other two genotypes (P < 0.01) ; rs12563308 and rs223086 were not associated with any serum lipid traits (P > 0.05 for all). Logistic regression analysis showed that the SNPs examined were not related to CHD (p > 0.05). Also no association was found between four SNPs with the angiographic severity of CHD patients (p > 0.05). Conclusions: APOA5 rs662799 GG allele is associated with elevated triglyceride and might act as a risk factor for CHD; SMARCA4 rs1122608 TT allele and APOA5 rs662799 AA allele are associated with elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and might play a protective role in the development of CHD.

During pregnancy, the maternal immune system has to balance tightly between protection against pathogens and tolerance towards a semi-allogeneic organism. Dysfunction of this immune adaptation can lead to severe complications such as pregnancy loss, preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction. The MHC-Ib molecule HLA-G is well known to mediate immunological tolerance. However, no in-vivo studies have yet demonstrated a beneficial role of HLA-G for pregnancy success. Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are suppressively acting immune cells accumulating during pregnancy and mediating maternal-fetal tolerance. Here, we analyzed the impact of Qa-2, the murine homologue to HLA-G, on pregnancy outcome in vivo. We demonstrate that lack of Qa-2 led to intrauterine growth restriction and increased abortion rates especially in late pregnancy accompanied by changes in uterine gene expression, altered spiral artery remodeling and protein aggregation in trophoblast cells indicating a preeclampsia-like phenotype. Furthermore, lack of Qa-2 caused decreased accumulation of MDSC and impaired MDSC function. Lastly, we show that application of sHLA-G reduced abortion rates in Qa-2 deficient mice by inducing MDSC. Our results highlight the importance of an interaction between HLA-G and MDSC for pregnancy success and the therapeutic potential of HLA-G for the treatment of immunological pregnancy complications.

Background: The goal of the study is to compare sevoflurane and propofol with remifentanil anesthesia avoid neuromuscular blocking agent after intubation in thyroid operation with intra-operative neuromonitoring.Methods: 80 patients scheduled to receive thyroid operation were randomly assigned to sevofluraneor propofol anesthesia maintained group. The time of rocuronium recovery profile were monitored. Adverse events such as sinus bradycardia, tachycardia, hypertension, hypotension and movement were recorded. Analyze the time from anesthetic stop to the extubation time and operation time. Record the incidence rate of sore throat, drowsiness, agitation, nausea and vomiting after extubation. Record the first neuromonitoring time and the number of successful neuromonitoring.Results: There were significant differences in the recovery profile of rocuronium between sevoflurane and propofol group(P<0.05). The incidence of hypotension was similar between sevoflurane and propofol group. There was no significant difference of sinus braducardia between the two groups. The incidence of movement was less in sevoflurane compared to propofol(12.% vs. 47.5%, P=0.002). The propofol group had longer extubation time than sevoflurane group(13.10±1.52 vs. 8.07±1.07 min, P=0.001).The incidence of sore throat, drowsiness, agitation, nausea and vomiting in the two groups was similar during the recovery period, and the difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference of neuromonitoring between the two groups.Conclusion: Sevoflurane has advantage with less movement adverse effects in thyroid surgery with intra-operative neuromonitoring compared to propofol when associated with remifentanil 0.1μg/kg/min in general anesthesia.Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1800017166, 15 July 2018)
