При использовании способа внесения минеральных удобрений одновременно с высевом семян необходимо соблюдать все агротехнические требования и учитывать почвенно-климатические условия, чтобы обеспечить прирост урожайности сахарной свеклы за счет модернизации технологического процесса и конструктивных параметров устройства. Повышение урожайности корнеплодов и качества внесения минеральных удобрений напрямую зависит от конструктивных параметров тукозаделывающего рабочего органа. Приведены исследования компьютерного моделирования силовых параметров тукозаделывающего рабочего органа, предназначенного для внесения минеральных удобрений при одновременном посеве семян сахарной свеклы.

В результате использования химического мутагена этилметансульфоната (ЭМС) установлено, что наибольшей мутабильностью обладают растворы ЭМС в концентрации от 2 мМ до 6 мМ при обработке эксплантов в течение 30 минут. Показано стимулирующее воздействие ЭМС на регенерационную способность тканей (81,5 %) и на изменение плоидности растений-регенерантов. Полученные растения-регенеранты различались по морфологическим, цитологическим, биохимическим и молекулярно-генетическим признакам. Использование данного метода увеличивает спектр генетической изменчивости и позволяет за короткий срок создать новый исходный материал сахарной свеклы.

A method of induced mutagenesis in Beta vulgaris L. isolated organs and tissues culture is presented. As a result of using a chemical mutagen – ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS), it has been determined that EMS solutions in concentrations from 2 mМ to 6 mM have the greatest mutability when treating explants within 30 minutes. Stimulating effect of EMS on regenerative ability of haploid tissues (81,5 %) and on change of ploidy level of plants-regenerants has been shown. The obtained plants-regenerants differ in morphological, cytological, biochemical and molecular-genetic traits. Use of this method increases a spectrum of genetical variability and allows development of new sugar beet starting material in a short space of time.

Rapid removal of IgG1 carryover on protease column using protease-safe wash solutions delivered with LC pump for HDX-MS systems
Authors: Kumar Sandeep , Anderson Kyle
Published: October 2024

Sample carryover is a common problem in hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, particularly because immobilized protease columns cannot withstand the high organic solvent concentrations typically used in liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for cleaning. Conventional cleaning methods using injections of guanidine HCl still suffer from carryover and may require four blanks after each sample run to fully remove carryover. We have implemented an additional LC pump to deliver customized wash solutions to protease and enzyme columns and the associated LC capillaries to eliminate carryover. Pump-based washing using the protease-safe wash solutions tested herein were able to fully remove carryover with only one blank run. FOS-choline-12 was found to be the most effective component in wash solutions and even performed well alone at 0.1 % volume concentration. Since the protease column washing is performed concurrently during the analytical gradient within a sample run, subsequent blank runs could be reduced from four to one and total run time could be reduced by up to 60 %. Savings in total run time could more than double the productivity of data acquisition, which is imperative for pandemic preparedness and for acceleration of biotherapeutics development.
Failure of the DFT Ladder for the Fulminic Acid Challenge
Authors: Allen Ashley M. , Olive Dornshuld Laura N. , Gonzalez Franco Patricia A. , Allen Wesley D. , Schaefer III Henry F.
Published: October 2024

Properties of the historically pivotal fulminic acid (HCNO) molecule have been computed with a panoply of 473 density functionals of all varieties, providing a snapshot of the performance of contemporary density functional theory (DFT) for a challenging chemical system. Exhaustive tabulations and statistical analyses have been carried out for geometric parameters, vibrational frequencies, barriers to linearity, and the HCN–O dissociation energy. As the DFT ladder is climbed, only befuddlement ensues as to whether HCNO has a linear or bent equilibrium structure. The distinctive, extremely flat H–C–N bending potential of fulminic acid is almost universally misrepresented by the DFT functionals, which are thus incapable of solving quasilinear/quasibent issues of this molecule. High-ranking DFT functionals produce catastrophic errors in the HCN + O(3P) → HCNO reaction energy, and lower rungs emerge as the best performers for many of the bond distances and harmonic vibrational frequencies. This research shows that the current DFT zoo of approximations is incapable of yielding any consensus or convergence on the equilibrium structure, H–C–N bending frequencies, or enthalpy of formation of HCNO. Additional analyses are performed on the side effects of popular dispersion corrections on the covalently bonded properties and thermochemistry of HCNO.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are an important class of potent broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, their general use is more and more limited by adverse side effects. While general mechanisms for the fluoroquinolone-associated disability (FQAD) have been identified, the underlying molecular targets of toxicity remain elusive. In this study, focusing on the most commonly prescribed FQs Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin, whole proteome analyses revealed prominent mitochondrial dysfunction in human cells, specifically of the complexes I and IV of the electron transport chain (ETC). Furthermore, global untargeted chemo-proteomic methodologies such as photo-affinity profiling with FQ-derived probes, as well as derivatization-free thermal proteome profiling, were applied to elucidate human protein off-targets of FQs in living cells. Accordingly, the interactions of FQs with mitochondrial AIFM1 and IDH2 have been identified and biochemically validated for their contribution to mitochondrial dysfunction. Of note, the FQ induced ETC dysfunction via AIFM1 activates the reverse carboxylation pathway of IDH2, however, its simultaneous inhibition triggers mitochondrial toxicity. This off-target discovery study provides unique insights into FQ toxicity enabling the utilization of identified molecular principles for the design of a safer FQ generation.

Published: October 2024

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an immediate and powerful characterization technique that provides detailed information on the lattice structure and long-range order in crystalline materials. In recent decades, the quality and quantity of available crystal structure data has exploded, in large part due to the advent of online crystal structure databases, increased use of in-situ and operando methodologies, and user-accessible beamlines. The new wealth of data has also spawned an increasing use of machine learning (ML) to either construct high-throughput surrogates of established analysis or extract patterns from large datasets. However, XRD spectroscopy has been for many years solved via Rietveld refinement, while most ML techniques are simply complex statistical evaluation methods that are physics-agnostic. The discrepancy between data analysis and the underlying physics can lead to incorrect conclusions and/or limit the wide-spread adoption of ML techniques. In this review, we bridge the gap between ML and XRD spectroscopy with an introduction designed both for new data scientists and experimentalists interested in problems related to ML-guided spectroscopy analysis. We cover how supervised ML methods are used to predict likely symmetries and phases in pure and mixed samples, including challenges related to experimental artifacts and model interpretation. We also review recent uses of unsupervised methods in the extraction of patterns hidden in high-dimensional data, such as in in-situ and microscopic studies. Finally, we discuss the importance of problem formulation, data transferability, and reporting with recent case studies and give various resources throughout to expedite the learning curve for readers new to XRD or ML. We advocate for greater scrutiny of ML methods, how they are presented in the literature, and how to conduct data-driven research responsibly.

CHILDREN’S NAMES FOUNDED WITH THE WORDS «SON» AND «DAUGHTER» IN CENTRAL ASIAN TURKISH PEOPLE
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Sengun Asil
Published: October 2024

The study deals with children’s names created by using the words son and daughter in the names given to children in the Turkish people of Central Asia.In the society we live in, one of the most important goals of parents in the family is to have a child. One of the most important duties of parents who have children towards a child is to give their child a beautiful name.Throughout the historical process experienced by the Turkish nation, various name-giving traditions have emerged due to different reasons experienced by parents. The names given according to these tra-ditions reflect the history, geography, beliefs, social structure, and cultural characteristics of the society.According to the findings we made in field researches, the conditions in families in Central Asian Turkish communities before the birth of the child, the unexpected developments that occur during the birth of the child and the events that occur after birth play a great role in naming the child.The names formed with the words «son» and «daughter,» which are frequently found in the names given to children in Central Asian Turks, are often seen to be directly related to the desire to have a boy. Today, especially in Kazakhs and Kyrgyz, the third of three daughters born in the family in succession is usually given names formed with the word «ul/son.» For example, names such as «Ulbolsun», «Ulbolgan», «Uljalgas», «Ulergen» directly reveal the desire for a boy, while names such as «Kıztumas», «Kızdıkoy» express more harshly and clearly that the girls of the family have enough and now want boys.In the study, the reasons for the words son and daughter in the names given to children, especially in Central Asian Turkish people, are emphasized and the subject is examined thoroughly.

Published: October 2024

The concurrent utilization of electric and magnetic fields in static mass analyzers proves highly effective in sparticle separation solely based on their masses, thereby ensuring remarkable analytical capabilities. High-resolution mass analyzers employ an achromatizing electrostatic system to precisely focus ion radiation by energy. Devices featuring zero energy dispersion are created through the collaborative action of electric achromatizing systems and the magnetic field within the analyzer, resulting in ion separation based solely on mass. Expanding the ion beam prior to its magnetic field exposure enhances the overall quality of static mass analyzers. This article delves into a static mass analyzer with dual ion beam focusing, elucidating the ion acceleration and deceleration processes at electrode boundaries, their focalization via a transaxial lens, and the impact of the electrostatic prism's refractive surface on the mass analyzer's "quality" parameter. Additionally, the transition from a sector homogeneous magnetic field to the fields generated by a two-dimensional magnetic prism and a three-electrode transaxial focusing lens is explored to augment the mass analyzer's linear dispersion. To refine ion beam focus pre-magnetic field entry, the proposed adoption of a two-dimensional electrostatic prism promises heightened linear dispersion in the mass analyzer while expanding the beam pre-magnetic field entry. This study also examines the impact of a two-dimensional electric prism on the charged particle beam, presenting an approximate expression for its angular energy dispersion. It is demonstrated that a prism-based mass analyzer integrating two-dimensional electric and magnetic prisms enables energy-focused operations alongside enhanced linear dispersion and reduced linear dimensions.

Currently, in the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the framework of the strategic directions of the space industry, fundamental and applied scientific space research is being developed, and practical problems are being solved using space technology. In these studies, special attention is paid to the reliability of on-board equipment under the complex influence of outer space factors. In the development and design of such work as docking and assembly of elements of orbital stations, remote control of automatic interplanetary stations and many others, mathematical and computer modeling is used, which is a highly effective and relatively low-cost method. The purpose of this work is to study the dependence of the energy losses of relativistic ions of cosmic radiation when particles pass through graphene nanostructures in order to predict their radiation resistance when exposed to cosmic radiation particles. The simulation of the trajectories and energy losses of relativistic ions during passing through graphite crystals were performed. Numerical values ​​of the critical channeling angles in a graphite crystal are obtained. It is shown that ion energy losses do not depend on the point of entry of the ion into the crystal and increase sharply with decreasing energy in the energy range less than 1000 MeV/nucleon.

Published: October 2024

In this study, we investigate the contribution of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) to the gamma-ray excess observed in the Galactic Center by analyzing data from high-resolution direct N-body simulations of six globular clusters (GCs) that experience close encounters with the nuclear star cluster. Using the φ-GPU code, we tracked the orbits of individual neutron stars (NSs) formed during the simulations, assuming a fraction of these NSs evolve into MSPs. Our model includes state-of-the-art single stellar evolution code including prescription for neutron star formation. We estimated the gamma-ray flux from these MSPs, considering known values for their gamma-ray emission. Our results show that MSPs originating from the six modeled GCs contribute a small but non-negligible fraction of the observed gamma-ray flux. This finding suggests that the actual gamma-ray flux from MSPs could be much higher when considering the entire population of GCs, potentially significantly contributing to the gamma-ray excess. This study highlights the importance of considering MSPs in the Galactic Center, originating from nearby globular clusters, as a potential source of the observed gamma-ray excess. Future work will involve more sophisticated simulations incorporating binary stellar evolution and comparing the fraction of MSPs in observed GCs to refine our models and improve the accuracy of our estimates.

This paper presents the results of the study of the electron temperature in argon and argon-acetylene plasma of DC glow discharge. The optical-emission method was used to determine the main parameter of the complex plasma. The dependence of the electron temperature on the operating pressure, voltage, and discharge time was determined from the intensity of spectral lines. The source voltage was varied from 1 kV to 1.5 kV, and the pressure was maintained between 0.1-1 torr. As a time-dependent function, the electron temperature was calculated every 20 seconds during a 200-second discharge. The results showed that in argon plasma, as the pressure increases, the electron temperature decreases up to a pressure value of 0.4 torr, subsequent increase leads to an increase in temperature. Also, with the increase in source voltage, a decrease in electron temperature within the error limits is observed. In addition, in dust plasma (PECVD in Ar-C2H2), the electron temperature as a function of pressure and source voltage showed a trend similar to that observed in argon plasma. However, the electron temperature in dust plasma increases as a function of time at the initial moment, after which it decreases sharply with time.

Published: October 2024

The article examines the potential of mediation in resolving irredentist conflicts on the example of the war in Western Sahara, analysing key aspects of the conflict, including the role of international organisations such as the UN and the Organisation of African Unity in negotiations between the parties. The article also reveals the peculiarities of mediation in the context of Morocco's post-colonial territorial claims to Western Sahara and the involvement of other states, such as Spain, France, Algeria and the United States, in the region. The authors note the difficulties arising in the mediation process due to the parties' different approaches to conflict resolution. The authors analyse the role of historical memory and ethnic identity in shaping Morocco's irredentist claims, as well as the factor of religious and cultural differences that complicate negotiations. The relationship between domestic interests and geopolitical influences on the negotiation process is explored. The authors highlight the problems of the legal status of Western Sahara in international law, which complicates the achievement of a compromise between the parties. The role of referendums as a tool for conflict resolution and their limitations in this particular case are also revealed. The article concludes that it is necessary to involve neutral states as mediators and that it is important to adhere to the principle of voluntariness in negotiations.

Published: October 2024

The article is dedicated to the study of the factors contributing to the increasing influence of mass media on the formation of political consciousness in modern society. In the context of globalization and digitalization, mass media have become key instruments in shaping public opinion, political preferences, and mobilizing various forms of socio-political activity. The paper analyzes the key technological, sociocultural, political, and economic factors that directly or indirectly determine the influence of mass media on political processes and societal consciousness. Special attention is given to the role of algorithms in the selection and presentation of information, including the impact of external factors on content, as well as challenges related to the spread of disinformation and manipulative technologies. The article also explores the phenomenon of the mediatization of politics and the self-referential nature of mass media, which contribute to the formation of a specific public space and changes in political communication. The problems of global media influence, which tend to unify information flows and blur cultural and political differences between countries, are also analyzed. The conclusions emphasize the importance of ensuring transparency, independence, and diversity of mass media to support democratic processes, strengthen civil society, and prevent information manipulation in the modern world.
General Solutions to the Navier-Stokes Equations for Incompressible Flow
Authors: Shin JangRyong
Published: October 2024

Waves are mainly generated by wind via the transfer of wind energy to the water through friction. When the wind subsides, the waves transition into swells and eventually dissipate. Friction plays a crucial role in the generation and dissipation of waves. Numerous wave theories have been developed based on the assumption of inviscid flow, but these theories are inadequate in explaining the transformation of waves into swells. This study addressed these limitations by analytically deriving general solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations. By expressing the velocity field as the product of a solution to the Helmholtz equation and a time-dependent univariate function, the Navier–Stokes equations are decomposed into an ordinary differential equation and the Euler equations, which are solved using tensor calculus. This paper provides solutions for viscous flow with shear currents when applied to the water wave problem. These solutions were validated through their application to the vorticity equation. The decay modulus of water waves was compared with experimental data, showing a significant degree of concordance. In contrast to other wave theories, this study clarified the process through which waves evolve into swells.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Slovenia submitted a request to the European Commission to be recognised as a Member State with negligible risk of classical scrapie. EFSA has been asked to assess if Slovenia has demonstrated that, between 2016 and 2022, a sufficient number of ovine and caprine animals over 18 months old, representative of those slaughtered, culled or found dead have been tested, and will continue to be tested annually, to provide a 95% confidence of detecting classical scrapie if it is present at a prevalence rate exceeding 0.1%. A risk‐based approach using stochastic scenario tree modelling accounting for surveillance stream and species was applied. Globally, there is still a lack of data on the performance of the approved diagnostic screening tests under field conditions, specifically for sheep. Therefore, alternative scenarios were explored extending the range from the sensitivity (99.6%) provided by the past European Union evaluations to a sensitivity of 50%, more consistent with published data obtained under field conditions in infected goat populations. It was concluded that during the period 2016–2023, Slovenia has tested annually a sufficient number of ovine and caprine animals over 18 months of age, sourced from the NSHC and SHC populations, to ensure a 95% level of confidence of detecting CS if it is present in that population at a prevalence rate exceeding 0.1%, assuming a test sensitivity of 90% or above. The same holds for the years 2016, 2021 and 2023, assuming a test sensitivity of at least 80%. Based on the proposed number of samples for 2024 and future years, Slovenia would continue to meet the testing requirements assuming a test sensitivity of at least 80%.

2023 yılında Kahramanmaraş'ta meydana gelen ikiz depremler, afet koordinasyonu ve afet öncesi durum analizinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu tür afetlerle başa çıkmak ve olası kayıpları önleyecek tedbirleri almak için, bir şehrin yapı stoğunun deprem riskleri açısından değerlendirilmesi, ulaşım ağının, acil toplanma ve geçici barınma alanlarının yeterliliğinin değerlendirilmesi gibi kapsamlı bir hazırlık süreci gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, geçmişte birçok kez büyük depremlerle yıkılmış olan Erzincan İli çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) tabanlı sokaktan tarama yöntemleri kullanılarak deprem riski taşıyan yapıların belirlenerek risk haritalarının oluşturulması, yapı performans değerlendirmelerinin yapılması ve olası bir afet durumunda güvenli ulaşım güzergahlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Erzincan il merkezindeki 2000 yılından önce inşa edilmiş, iki kat ve üzeri betonarme-yığma yapıların 3.199 adet olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Olası bir deprem durumunda ulaşım altyapısı analiz edilerek trafik yoğunluğu, acil toplanma ve geçici barınma alanlarının haritaları oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan analizlerde acil toplanma ve geçici barınma alanlarının kapasitelerinin artırılması gerektiği tespit edilmiştir. Artırılmış trafik yoğunluğu senaryolarında, 10 mahallede mevcut yolların afet-acil durumlarına uygun olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Este artigo trata das rodas de leitura realizadas na Penitenciária Feminina da Capital (PFC), em São Paulo, entre junho de 2023 e abril de 2024, sob responsabilidade da Associação Liberdades Poéticas. Tem como objetivo abordar como mediadores(as) estimulam a leitura entre pessoas privadas de liberdade, visando a educação criativa. Tem como eixos teóricos a literatura como direito humano e o paradigma da desistência do crime. Analisa dados derivados de registro de observação participante nas rodas de leitura na PFC como recorte do estudo de caso sobre remição de pena por leitura. Conclui que as práticas de leitura estimulam a aprendizagem, melhoram as relações interpessoais, reativam as memórias e ajudam a tolerar melhor a vida na prisão, fatores fundamentais nos processos da pós liberdade e de desistência do crime.

Foot rot disease (Phytophthora capsica) is Indonesia's primary challenge in cultivating pepper (Piper nigrum). Grafting to another Piper species, Piper coclobrinum, or melada (the local name), is a potential solution to increase resistance to this disease. The use of melada as rootstock has shown promising results during the seedling phase, but it has not been thoroughly evaluated during the production phase. The study was conducted in the pepper grower’s location in Puput and Simpang Katis Villages, Central Bangka, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The study used kapok (Ceiba petandra) as the standard; plant morphology, leaf area, leaf thickness, and crown diameter for grafted melada and non-grafted pepper were recorded. Harvest variables included panicle length, panicle weight, the number of fruits per panicle, and fruit diameter, measured in three different areas of the canopy: the lower area (0-1 meter above the ground surface), the middle area (1-2 meters above the ground surface), and the top area (more than 2 meters above the ground surface). Physiological variables measured included rates of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, intercellular CO2, and CO2 conductance. The study demonstrated that the grafted pepper plants had a larger leaf area than the non-grafted pepper plants; the panicle weight and the number of fruits per panicle were higher. Panicles located in the middle zone of the plant canopy tended to be longer for grafted and non-grafted peppers. Panicle weight, fruit size, and the number of fruits per panicle were generally more significant at the top of the plant canopy. In all parts of the canopy, grafted peppers exhibited larger fruit size, greater panicle weight, and a higher number of fruits per panicle than non-grafted “Nyelungkup” peppers, highlighting the potential of melada as a rootstock for pepper plants.

INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE E O ENSINO DE LÍNGUA INGLESA: UMA LEITURA DA PROPOSTA CURRICULAR DOS ANOS FINAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL, NO PARÁ

Published: October 2024

Neste ensaio, apresentamos uma reflexão analítica sobre o ensino de Língua Inglesa nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, a partir do Documento Curricular do Estado do Pará, sob a perspectiva da interdisciplinaridade. Para tanto, buscamos como suporte autores que tratam de temas concernentes à interdisciplinaridade, como Moraes (1997), Fazenda (2006), Japiassu (1976), Passos e Pinho (2018), bem como pesquisadores da área do ensino de línguas, como Pennycook (2007), Kumaradivelu (1997) e Paiva (2014). A partir da análise, compreendemos que os termos “interdisciplinar” e “interdisciplinaridade” são apresentados de forma crucial nos princípios da política educacional do documento curricular paraense. Este recomenda o uso de materiais autênticos para ensinar a Língua Inglesa como prática social, de modo que a abordagem comunicativa é enfatizada como mister, ou seja, a escolha indicada de abordagem para o ensino da língua. Outrossim, os documentos curriculares estaduais também recebem duras críticas, a exemplo da BNCC. É preciso que se entenda, porém, a necessidade de se motivar os educadores a transitarem e dialogarem com outros componentes curriculares, tendo em vista promover o desenvolvimento de uma formação integral, interdisciplinar e mais crítica aos discentes.

Este estudo analisa, sob o viés da Linguística Aplicada, o ponto de vista de professores que atuam com Língua Portuguesa (LP) na Educação Básica da rede pública, mais especificamente no Ensino Fundamental II, sobre o ensino-aprendizagem e como se relacionam aos princípios teóricos dos multiletramentos (The NewLondon Group, 1996; ROJO, 2012, entre outros), conjugados a ações que emergiram como forma de enfrentamento ao período de pandemia, deflagrado pela Covid-19. Diante do contexto em questão, gerador de mudanças na educação em sua totalidade, o estudo buscou reflexionar sobre o ensino-aprendizagem de LP em diálogo com os multiletramentos, que se manifestaram naquele momento de crise sanitária (Beraldo, 2020), sob a visão docente. O percurso metodológico foi de natureza qualitativa, que valorizou as vozes dos pesquisados (Bauer, Gaskell, 2002; Andrade, Hollanda, 2010) e de cunho etnográfico que preconiza o entrelaçamento de questões linguísticas e culturais escolares por meio do respeito à visão êmica dos participantes da pesquisa (Spradley, 1980; Watson-Gegeo, 1988), sendo os dados analisados com base na abordagem interpretativa. Assim sendo, os resultados apontaram experiências impactantes e desafiadoras, mas criativamente vivenciadas e transpostas por professores e gestores. Há indicações de possíveis caminhos para mudanças e adequações na práxis pedagógica do docente de LP. Além disso, as práticas engajadas com os multiletramentos estimularam um ensino-aprendizagem contextualizado e convergente com as demandas do cenário pandêmico e envolveu toda a comunidade escolar.
