Published: July 2024

Abstract: Aim In this study we validated a tool to assess and monitor streams ecosystems to subsidize future research, governmental surveillance and citizen science activities. Our primary objective was to (i) provide improvements and adaptations of the Rapid Assessment Protocol (RAP) proposed by Cionek et al. (2011) and provide a new RAP, and then (ii) evaluate the association among the RAP scores and limnological parameters. Methods The RAP was adapted to streams draining through a sandstone geological formation, and the final validation process was conducted in 30 streams. We used linear models and correlation analysis to understand the association of the RAP scores with in-stream limnological and physical parameters (n=30) and nutrient concentrations in the water (n=9), respectively. Two parameters have been adjusted according to our professional’s judgment which have provided feedback since 2011. Results The RAP scores explained 29% of the variability of in-stream limnological and physical characteristics of the streams. Streams with higher RAP scores were those with higher dissolved oxygen and higher depths. Streams with lower RAP scores were those with higher widths, conductivity, and turbidity. Streams with higher orthophosphate and ammonium loads were those with the predominance of slow and shallow flow regimes, while streams with higher nitrate concentration were those with straight channels. Limnological and physical indicators showed the same tendency of ecosystems quality (degradation or preservation), and yet are complementary because they evaluate distinct features of the system. Conclusions The RAP adapted for the Arenito Caiuá streams provide a good interpretation on the physical habitat features of streams and can be used both as a single diagnostic and monitoring environmental tool or a complementary tool along with limnological and biotic parameters.

Authors: Pantaleo Patricio Iván
Published: July 2024

LatArXiv (https://preprints.latarxiv.org/) es una iniciativa para crear un repositorio preprint y de datos de investigación abierta específicamente para la comunidad latinoamericana. Busca relevar y potenciar las mejores prácticas de repositorios existentes, enfocándose en el contexto de Latinoamérica, aunque también está abierto a contribuciones del ámbito iberoamericano y otras regiones, siempre con un enfoque en Latinoamérica.
En este trabajo se ha llevado a cabo un relevamiento y análisis de repositorios de preprints y datos de investigación de importancia a nivel mundial. Para ello, se utilizaron plantillas estandarizadas REBIUN para evaluar características como estructura, políticas de acceso abierto y metadatos. Asimismo, se empleó SemRush, una herramienta de SEO, para analizar el rendimiento en línea de los repositorios, considerando indicadores como el Authority Score y el tráfico orgánico.
Los resultados revelaron que, si bien existen repositorios con un compromiso significativo con la visibilidad y accesibilidad de los preprints y datos, aún hay áreas de mejora, como la presencia en directorios y recolectores, mejora en la interfaz del usuario y la claridad de las políticas. Se identificaron correlaciones entre el cumplimiento de criterios REBIUN y el rendimiento SEO de los repositorios, destacando la importancia de cumplir con estándares de calidad para mejorar la visibilidad en línea.
Basándose en estos hallazgos, se desarrolló un Producto Mínimo Viable (MVP) en preprints.latarxiv.org, con el objetivo de fomentar la visibilidad y accesibilidad de la investigación en la comunidad científica hispanohablante. El MVP se diseñó priorizando una interfaz intuitiva, políticas claras y estrategias de promoción activa. Además, se establecieron canales de retroalimentación para mejorar continuamente la plataforma.

DNMT1-Dependent DNA Methylation of lncRNA FTX Inhibits the Ferroptosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Authors: Fan Sunfu , Shao Chaodan , Jia Shengnan , Xie Dafei , Yu Bingqi
Published: July 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant solid tumors worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the key factor in the pathogenesis of HCC. This study aimed to investigate the roles of lncRNA FTX transcript, XIST regulator (FTX) in HCC. mRNA levels were detected using RT-qPCR. Protein expression was determined using Western blot. cellular functions were determined using Cell Counting Kit (CCK)-8 and propidium iodide (PI) staining assays. RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) assay was conducted to analyze the location of lncRNA FTX and DNMT1. RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were used to ascertain the involved mechanisms. We found that FTX was downregulated in HCC patients, which was associated with poor prognosis. Moreover, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)-mediated methylation of FTX promoter inhibited its expression. Interestingly, overexpression of FTX promoted the ferroptosis of HCC cells. FTX sponged miR-374b-3p to upregulate transferrin receptor (TFRC) expression. However, downregulation of miR-374b-3p or overexpression of TFRC alleviated the effects of FTX knockdown and promoted the survival of HCC cells. In conclusion, DNMT1-dependent DNA methylation of FTX promotes the development of HCC through regulating miR-374b-3p/TFRC axis. Therefore, DNMT1/FTX/miR-374b-3p/TFRC axis may be a potential target for HCC.
THE INFLUENCE OF PLATE SURFACE INHOMOGENEITY ON THE OSCILLATIONS OF THE CONFINED GAS BUBBLE
Authors: Alabuzhev Alexey A.
Published: July 2024

Free and forced oscillations of a squeezed gas bubble are investigated. The bubble is placed in a finite volume of an
incompressible fluid with a free outer interface. Two parallel solid plates with inhomogeneous surfaces confine the liquid and the bubble. An external oscillating pressure field acts on the system. The method is proposed for taking into account the effect of surface inhomogeneity. The dependence of the frequency of natural oscillations and the damping decrement on the wetting parameter are plotted. It is shown that the inhomogeneity significantly changes the frequency values. Well-marked resonant effects are demonstrated. The inhomogeneity leads to the excitation of azimuthal modes, while the external action excites only volumetric oscillations.
Investigating criteria for the optimisation of single and multiple tuned mass dampers
Authors: Allani Anissa , Bel Hadj Ali Nizar
Published: July 2024

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are commonly used to mitigate undesirable structural vibrations caused by wind or earthquakes due to their effectiveness, cost efficiency, and ease of installation. Selecting the optimal values for TMD parameters, such as stiffness and damping, is critical for achieving the best performance. This study presents a novel classification framework for optimisation criteria in TMD design, dividing them into two categories: (1) steady-state response of the primary system, focusing on dynamic amplification, and (2) pole localisation for coupled systems (main structure + multiple TMDs (MTMDs)). Two case studies (single TMD and MTMDs) are presented to investigate optimisation criteria using a single degree of freedom primary system under base excitation. Numerical simulations assess the performance and robustness of these optimised configurations. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that frequency-based criteria are less affected by uncertainties in optimal TMD parameters than pole-related criteria. The frequency-based criteria, which minimises vibration energy, demonstrates improved performance under seismic excitation and reduced sensitivity to changes in primary structural parameters. Frequency-based criteria enhance system efficiency, particularly with MTMDs, while pole-related criteria lead to higher damping ratios, challenging design feasibility. These findings highlight the effectiveness of frequency-based criteria in optimising TMD performance and structural robustness.

State-of-the-art eye trackers provide valuable information for diagnosing reading problems by measuring and interpreting people’s gaze paths as they read through text. Abnormal conditions such as visual field defects, however, can seriously confound most of today’s existing methods for interpreting reading gaze patterns.
Our objective was to research how visual field defects impact reading gaze path patterns, so the effects of such neurological pathologies can be explicitly incorporated into more comprehensive reading diagnosis methodologies. A cross-sectional, non-randomized, pilot clinical study including 45 patients with various neurologic disorders and 30 normal controls was designed. Participants underwent ophthalmologic/neuropsychologic and eye-tracker examinations using two reading tests of words and numbers.
The results showed that the use of the eye tracker showed that patients with brain damage and an altered visual field require more time to complete a reading-text test by fixating a greater number of times (p < 0.001); with longer fixations (p = 0.03); and a greater number of saccades in these patients (p = 0.04). Our study showed objective differences in eye movement characteristics in patients with neurological diseases and an altered visual field who complained of reading difficulties. These findings should be considered as a bias factor and deserve further investigation.

Language Tools for Processing Trees
Authors: Markov V. N. ,   Kuban State Technological University, Krasnodar, 350000, Russian Federation
Published: July 2024

The new language tools for processing trees based on nodes enumerators and determinants of the depth-first traversal are proposed. Node enumerators define a tree slice and set the directions and step of its breadth-first traversal: from left to right or from right to left, from root to crown or vice versa. The arguments of the nodes enumerators are the arithmetic series of their coordinates in the tree. The traversal determinants specify a way to recursively perform a depth-first traverse. The arguments of the determinants of the recursive depth-first traversal are the aliases of nodes and the ranks of references to their successors. The second-order functions and the recursive comprehension operators over trees similar to list comprehension operators are introduced. Using these tools allows for concisely expressing the operators to building and processing trees/slice without explicitly using recursion.
STRATEGIES FOR UKRAINE’S ADAPTATION TO THE FREE MOVEMENT FOR WORKERS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: ANALYSIS AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Chugaiev O. А. ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Andriunina D. O. ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

The article considers the problems related to the access of Ukrainian workers to the labour market in the context of Ukraine’s accession to the EU. The authors identify potential risks and issues that may arise during the negotiation process, including concerns about labour market competition, the impact of migration on domestic employment, and the need to harmonize labour laws and standards. It is also emphasized on the importance of addressing these issues in a proactive and strategic manner to ensure that Ukrainian workers can fully enjoy the benefits of EU membership. The paper argues that this can be achieved through measures such as the establishment of transitional measures, the implementation of targeted policies to support labour market integration and the adoption of mutually beneficial agreements on labour mobility.
“The Career Does Not Love You Back”: Impacts of Contingent Employment on Workers, Cultural Heritage Institutions, and the Archival Profession
Authors: Bredbenner Stephanie , Fulmer Alison , Oliveira-Abbey Rose , Rinn Meghan R.
Published: July 2024

This article reports the findings of the 2021 New England Archivists Contingent Employment Study, which comprised a survey with eighty-three valid responses, fifteen interviews, and analysis of 250 job postings. The study found that although contingent employment often provides useful professional experience and mentorship, it can negatively impact archival workers due to low pay, inadequate benefits, and short term lengths. Additionally, many experience low morale and isolation due to their contingent status, and the inherent instability of contingent employment causes some to feel that they have little control over their careers and personal lives. Cross-tabulation analysis revealed that new professionals have more contingent positions than their mid-career and late-career counterparts, suggesting that contingent jobs and the challenges of protracted contingent employment have become more prominent over time. Participants were concerned that relying on contingent employment negatively affected their employers, particularly in terms of morale, high rates of staff turnover, institutional memory, and unstable funding. The study also documented perceived effects on the broader archival field, including causing burnout and attrition of archival workers; hampering efforts to recruit and retain a diverse profession; devaluing archival education and labor; perpetuating the reliance on unsustainable funding models; and preventing the development of robust, innovative, and inclusive professional communities. Using the study data and other research in the professional literature, the authors argue that there is an urgent need to address the issues raised in the study by improving working conditions for contingent workers and broadly reassessing the profession's relationship with contingent labor.
Excavating Myth and Memory in Congressional Papers
Authors: Bond Natalie
Published: July 2024

Congressional papers constitute some of the most unique archival collections to find their way into American repositories. Often voluminous, complex, and appended by donor stipulations and financial considerations, they have been the subject of decades’ worth of archival conferences, scholarship, legislation, and practical manuals. These discussions have long upheld the belief that congressional papers retain inherent research and historic value, largely due to their documentation of legislative processes and topical subject areas. This article interrogates the origins of that presumptive value, positing that archivists have customarily drawn on traditional narratives of American identity and democratic governance to justify and inform the acquisition, appraisal, processing, and deployment of congressional collections. The article first reviews the robust history of the congressional papers community, surveying the evolution of rhetoric around archivists’ assignation of inherent value to congressional papers and critically examining the ways in which that value is shaped by American practices of myth-making. Drawing from memory studies and concepts of the mythic imagination, the article then problematizes the passivity of American democracy in congressional archival praxis, taking into account burgeoning national reckonings and re-reckonings with the nature of American government itself. Implicating archival praxis in the perpetuation of narratives that do not reflect or represent the current state of the nation, the article then suggests modes of alternative intervention for archivists working with congressional papers, calling for a critically contextual reimagining of the field.
Forms, Formations, and Reforms
Authors: Olson David Amel
Published: July 2024

Oral history release forms are critical for documenting narrator intentions around access to and use of interviews, a key component of ethically managing this document type. Unfortunately, repositories are full of interviews with missing or problematic releases. To explain this phenomenon, the author reviews historical archival and oral history literature to trace the development of release form conventions and the historical trends in practice that explain the current state of documentation in archives. Important trends in this trajectory include professionalization of oral history, decades of inconsistent application of best practices, siloed discourses of archivists and oral historians, institutional review boards, and changing access expectations in the age of the Internet. The author also assesses current positive professional trends to prevent future release form problems and analyzes release form scenarios that may remain stubbornly at the discretion of archivists’ professional judgment or values.

The northernmost record of Ischiodon
aegyptius (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera, Syrphidae, Syrphinae) with possible
evidence of its reproduction in Europe
Authors: Vujić Mihailo , Petrović Andjeljko
Published: July 2024

The genus Ischiodon Sack, 1913 (Diptera: Syrphidae) are small to medium-sized wasp mimic hoverflies with only four species worldwide: Ischiodon aegyptius (Wiedemann, 1830), I. astales Mengual, 2018, I. feae (Bezzi, 1912), and I. scutellaris (Fabricius, 1805). In Europe, I. aegyptius and I. scutellaris occur, but only in the southern part of the continent. In this article, we present the northernmost record of I. aegyptius, which is also the first finding of this species in the Balkan Peninsula. One larva was found in 2010 in Budva, Montenegro (a city on the Adriatic coast), on lemon tree twigs in association with the aphid Aphis spiraecola Patch, 1914. The month of collection was May, before summer, when the adults probably migrate from Africa, suggesting that the species may be a resident in this part of Europe, at least temporarily. A brief description,photographs of the specimen, and short taxonomic notes are provided. The additional new records of I. aegyptius from Libya were presented. Notes are given on its potential reproduction in Europe and on its possible importance in the biological control of aphids.

Published: July 2024

Abstract: Today's students' learning motivation tends to decline due to lack of attention to life values as the basis of human development in the educational process. This research aims to reveal three important things, namely; student learning motivation, students' hopes for retreat activities to increase their learning motivation, and the process of internalizing retreat values, namely honesty and humility towards student learning motivation. The design of this research is qualitative phenomenology. The main subjects of the research were class XI students at SMAK Frateran Malang who were drawn using purposive sampling. Data analysis techniques were carried out using domain analysis techniques, taxonomic analysis techniques, and theme analysis techniques. The research results show that students' learning motivation is greatly influenced by the economic and educational background of parents, the way and style of parental support at home, as well as the learning approach patterns used by teachers in the classroom. Students' hopes for retreats to increase learning motivation apparently return to the students themselves because the retreat mentoring pattern really uses retreat companions as facilitators. The approach in a retreat is different from the approach in the learning process in class. The retreat companion is a facilitator figure, the teacher in the class is an authority figure who oversees joint learning achievements.
Abstrak: Motivasi belajar siswa dewasa ini cenderung merosot karena kurang diperhatikannya nilai-nilai kehidupan sebagai dasar pembangunan manusia dalam proses pendidikan.

Desain penelitian ini adalah kualitatif fenomenologi. Subyek utama penelitian adalah  siswa kelas XI SMAK Frateran Malang yang ditarik secara purposive sampling. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik analisis domain, teknik analisis taksonomi, dan teknik analisis tema.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi belajar siswa sangat dipengaruhi oleh faktor latar belakang ekonomi dan pendidikan orangtua, cara dan gaya pendampingan orangtua di rumah, serta pola pendekatan pembelajaran yang digunakan oleh para guru di dalam kelas. Harapan siswa terhadap retret untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar ternyata kembali kepada para siswa itu sendiri karena pola pendampingan retret yang sangat memfungsikan pendamping retret sebagai fasilitator. Pendekatan dalam retret berbeda dengan pendekatan dalam proses pembelajaran di kelas. Pendamping retret adalah sosok fasilitator, guru di kelas adalah sosok otoritas yang mengawasi capaian pembelajaran bersama.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation device. Technology, promising engineering implementations
Authors: Zayats V.V. , Sergeyev I.K.
Published: July 2024

At the moment, there are no manufacturers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation complexes in Russia. In terms of importance, this equipment is a priority along with resuscitation complexes, life support systems and is included in the list of medical equipment that determines national sovereignty. The world's leading manufacturers JOLIFE AB (Sweden), Zoll (USA), Corpuls (Germany), Defibtech (USA), Schiller (Switzerland), Ambulanc (China) Landswick (China) offer many different options for the implementation of systems for automatic closed heart massage. The creation of a domestic complex for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, synchronized with an artificial lung ventilation device, is an urgent medical and technical task. For the development of this direction, it is important to identify the most relevant technological and engineering solutions for the creation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation complexes and to determine the prospects for their further development. The publication presents an analysis of a wide range of modern complexes and registered technical solutions for the implementation of various approaches to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatic closed heart massage. As part of the engineering and technical study, it was found that the most promising are electromechanical complexes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A number of ergonomic and constructive solutions are proposed based on the results of the analysis of the application of existing foreign complexes. The formed technical proposals will significantly improve the consumer characteristics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation complexes. Despite the fact that there are a significant number of commercial solutions for automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the market, their introduction into the clinical practice of emergency medical care is not great. One of the constraining factors is the high cost of foreign equipment, a significant mass of devices, ergonomic disadvantages that limit the use of equipment in real conditions (long installation time, difficulties of resuscitation during patient transportation, the absence of artificial lung ventilation devices in complexes with synchronization of the resuscitation mode). Therefore, the development and improvement of this type of equipment, as well as the creation of domestic analogues with superior technical characteristics, has significant practical value.

Published: July 2024

Pediatric dentistry involves not only a high level of technical expertise, but also a positive psychological environment for every child to improve the overall dental experience for the young ones. 

: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two psychological behaviour modification techniques (BMT) in managing the behaviour and dental anxiety levels in a child. 

: A total of 200 children of 4-7 years of age who were to undergo pulpectomy was randomly divided into 2 groups to be managed by two BMTs selected by a poll among Pedodontists which was Parental presence and through a survey done among parents of the children included in the study which was Positive Reinforcement. Frankl's Behaviour rating and child anxiety levels were evaluated. 

: Both the techniques were found to be similar in effectiveness in handling anxious children though Parental presence lowered anxiety among children much more than Positive Reinforcement especially on first visits.

:  Both the modification techniques if used together, can increase the effectiveness in handling pediatric patients in a dental operatory.
A Liberal Proposal to Justify State Authority
Authors: Tskhadaia Giorgi
Published: July 2024

It is often asserted that a liberal theory of political obligation is unattainable. This is, largely, because liberalism revolves around consent and hence, is supposed to be intrinsically inimical to the existence of state authority. However, there is at least one liberal proposal – the argument of fair play, that makes a plausible case for justifying the establishment of a coercive entity. The most popular contemporary version of it, which is offered by George Klosko, turns on the fact that non-excludable goods cannot be exchanged based on consent. Instead, there must be enforceable, independent, objective standards of fairness that should govern the distribution of the effects of such goods. In this article, I argue that if Klosko’s account is correct, then not only the existence of non-excludable goods but also, the production and exchange of existentially significant excludable goods warrant an establishment of coercive authority. I argue that in this way, we can take an important step towards establishing a full-blown liberal theory of political obligation.

For the first time among the higher medical educational institutions of the Russian Federation, the Department of Human Anatomy together with the dean's office of the pediatric faculty of N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University introduced the discipline “Child’s Anatomy” into the mandatory part of the curriculum. Teaching this discipline implements one of the main objectives of the state educational standard for the specialty “Pediatrics” – to form in students of the pediatric faculty a solid knowledge of the anatomical and physiological, age and gender characteristics of the development and structure of the child's body. The discipline “Child’s Anatomy” is studied during the fourth semester of the second year, i.e. after intermediate certification in the discipline “Human Anatomy”. Such a sequence of studying disciplines, in our opinion, ensures the optimal assimilation of knowledge on age anatomy by students. Students perceive the structural features of the child's body much better, already having a relatively holistic view of human anatomy.

The relevance of the research consists in discussing the concepts of collectivism and citizenship as phenomena of social interaction of an employee, which is essential for both social and organizational psychology. The research objective is to substantiate a model of social interaction of an employee in which collectivism and citizenship act as phenomena of social interaction. Main results: The employee’s collectivism is understood in the proposed model as the employee’s orientation towards satisfying the interests of the interaction partner. Moreover, in the case of mutual collectivism, interaction takes place in the form of cooperation. In accordance with the three types of the employee’s interaction, their collectivism can be scarce (bring practical benefits), self-realization (bring joy), and spiritual (take the form of service). Taking into account the division of collectivism into two types (horizontal and vertical) and the three types of interaction, the study defines six types of collectivism. At the same time, the collectivism of an employee in an organization has its own peculiarities, depending on both their psychological characteristics and the type of organizational culture. Collectivism of the Russian employee is expressed and mainly takes the form of spiritual horizontal collectivism; that is the desire of the employee to help their colleagues selflessly. The citizenship of an employee (readiness for civic behavior) is understood as one of the manifestations of collectivism – spiritual collectivism (willingness to sacrifice one’s interests for the sake of the interests of Another person - a colleague, a subordinate, a supervisor, a primary group, or an organization). Conclusions: The study substantiates a three-component model of the employee’s social interaction. This model makes it possible to single out six types of collectivism and to define citizenship as spiritual collectivism. The specificity of the collectivism of the Russian employee is defined as the expression of spiritual collectivism. Practical significance: The proposed model allows us to develop a) methods for assessing the employee’s orientation to interaction, b) techniques of developing the employee’s collectivism and citizenship.

Participants: international students (n = 620) (Bachelor’s degree, majoring in engineering, Penza State University: zero measurement (n = 620), subsequent academic years (n = 406), males n = 285, females n = 121; aged 18 to 26 (M = 20.3, SD = 2.9); Tajiks – n = 217, males n = 128, females n = 89; Kyrgyz n = 189, males n = 159, females n = 32. Methods (tools): the Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-IV) (J. M. Cheek) was used to fix the identity characteristics; Berzonsky’s Identity Style Inventory (as adapted by E. P. Belinskaya, I. D. Bronina) was used to measure the dynamics of identity styles.
