Diversity and Ant Community Composition in Some Algerian Islands
Authors: Aissat Lyes
Published: May 2023

The present paper seeks to study the diversity and ant community composition of some Algerian islands. This study is considered as the first exhaustive survey of ant species of Algerian islands since 1957. The survey was carried out in the spring and summer seasons between April and July of two years 2014 and 2015. Vegetation richness, island area, mainland distance, and elevation variables were measured for each island. Relative abundance (RA), frequency of occurrence (FO), as well as species richness (S), Shannon’s diversity index (H), and equitability (E) for each island were used to compare the diversity pattern among islands. Patterns of species composition and community structure were compared among the sampling islands through ordination analysis (nonmetric multidimensional scaling [NMDS]). SIMPER analysis using a Bray–Curtis similarity index matrix was performed to determine the contribution of each ant species to the dissimilarities among islands. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was performed to highlight the impact of environmental variables on the ant community. All analyses were computed by using PAST software. Two sampling methods (pitfall trap and hand collecting) were used, which led to the identification of 1039 individuals belonging to 16 species. Diversity indexes were different among islands. Ant community was significantly different between islands of the two regions Bejaia and Jijel. Three species contributed to 50.74% of the differences between islands of the two regions. Part of the ant community composition was influenced directly or indirectly by three environmental variables: vegetation richness, island area, and mainland distance. It is important to point out the absence of two invasive ants, Linepithema humile and Paratrechina longicornis, in our islands.

Published: May 2023

We elucidated the reaction of ruderal vegetation community to environmental changes. It made it possible to assess the level and nature of the synanthropic vegetation dynamics, fluctuation processes, and also to indicate the scenarios of evolution of ruderal communities throughout the environmental changes, in particular, climate changes. In this study, we used the original methods: synphytoindications and estimation of the climate change impact and the species reaction according to their ecological strategy. Dataset included 1200 phytosociological relevés of different synanthropic habitat types (borders of fields, ruderal areas, and railway tracks). As a result of vegetation analysis, we obtained 16 alliances of ruderal vegetation belonging to the six classes and two natural vegetation derivatives of the Sedo-Scleranthetea Br.-Bl. 1955 and Festuco-Brometea Br.-Bl. & Tx. 1943. Evaluation of ecological indicator value changes in relation to 1, 2 and 3 °C increase in average annual temperatures allowed to determine how significant is the threat to the existence of ruderal communities. It is particularly noticeable in the thermal regime, and some changes in edaphic properties of soil, especially acidity (pH). Under the conditions of climate changes and ecological indicator value changes, such communities could be easily restored both in the appropriate conditions of the region and outside it, that is, shifting their range. But thanks to this strategy, the emergence of new species and, as a result of this, the formation of completely new vegetation types is possible.

Authors: Baránková Zuzana , Špulerová Jana
Published: May 2023

The growing interest of researchers in the topic of biocultural diversity has resulted in the research field expanding from its initial focus on places inhabited by indigenous communities to rural and then to urban landscapes. The aims of this study are to summarize and review the current state of knowledge on biocultural landscape (BCL), present a spectrum of human activities leading to their formation, and based on that, focus on typology of these landscapes. Moreover, the connections between cultural ecosystem services (CES) and BCLs were examined, and the research on these unique landscapes in individual countries and the proportion of studied landscape types were graphically displayed. BCLs are threatened all over the world; therefore, there is a need to identify and recognize them, and provide them with effective legislative protection.
Priority Criteria for the Provision of Medical Assistance Versus Protection of Human Dignity
Authors: Doroszewska-Chyrowicz Katarzyna
Published: May 2023

The article deals with the potential infringement of human dignity through the choice of priority criteria for the provision of medical assistance in an emergency situation, when the treatment can only be provided for one person. The lack of sufficient equipment during the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic is a key example, but examples of acute shortage of medical personnel and various types of equipment are also analysed. The assumption made in the article is that selection guidelines need to be established for medical personnel.

The text presents the concept of violation of human dignity and the issue of inability to provide assistance to an adequate number of patients. Then, with the use of the dogmatic-legal method, the proposed patient selection criteria such as age, social position, physical condition, and occurrence of comorbidities are analysed.

As a result of the analysis, it is concluded that, due to the protection of human dignity, it is unacceptable to take away the assistance already provided for a patient (disconnection from the apparatus) in order to save the health of another patient. The criterion of assessing the patient’s health condition is unquestionable, whereas the choice of other decisive factors, such as a person’s social standing, may lead to unjustified discrimination and inequality.
Divorce Versus the Best Interest of the Child as a Subject of Examination Conducted in Ozss: A Legal and Psychological Perspective
Authors: Żukowski Lech J.
Published: May 2023

The article is a review of the issues concerning the concept of “the best interest of the child” as a negative condition for granting a divorce in the light of a diagnosis made in the Opiniodawcze Zespoły Specjalistów Sądowych (OZSS) on family courts’ request. It presents legal and psychological views on the best interest of the child in the context of a divorce treated as a crisis in the family. Comments are also presented on the scope of examination conducted by the OZSS experts on the impact of a divorce on the best interest of the child and selected problems related to their specificity. Based on the selected literature on the subject matter, case law and the work practice of the OZSS experts in the field of psychology, subjective views on the methodology of examining the impact of a divorce on the best interests of children are also presented. The main thesis of the article is the opinion that commissioning the OZSS experts by family courts to examine negative conditions for granting a divorce is controversial.

Published: May 2023

Dementia is not a specific disease, but a general term for age-related decline or loss of memory, cognitive abilities including problem solving and decision-making, and one’s own language, which significantly interfere with daily life. Researchers around the world have developed ways to automate the diagnosis of dementia through the use of machine learning and data mining approaches. The aim of this research project is to design and develop a day-to-day activity prediction algorithm in order to accurately identify and differentiate the dementia affected patients from the healthy subjects, to ensure early diagnosis of dementia development. This research advocates a novel algorithm called ‘Sequence Prediction via All Discoverable Episodes (SPADE)’ as a statistical tool to map activities of daily life (ADLs) in different groups of people in order to develop a unique parameter for precise diagnosis. The results of our experiment demonstrated a significant difference (i.e. 11 %) in the sequence prediction peak accuracy between the healthy subjects and the residents with dementia. SPADE demonstrated an adequate accuracy (i.e. 80 % on average), with an improvement of about 12 % compared to the performance of M-SPEED in inferring future occurrences of activities. It is thus evident that the algorithms for activity predictions show promise for early detection of dementia symptoms without the use of any expensive clinical procedure.

Published: May 2023

Background: Literature has shown the positive impact of ambulatory care pharmacists on diabetes management, yet additional research on clinical outcomes compared to traditional care models is warranted. 
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of an ambulatory care pharmacist on glycemic control over two years compared to patients who received usual care. 
Methods: This retrospective cohort study matched patients with a baseline hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) ≥8% managed by the ambulatory care pharmacist to patients who received usual care. The primary outcome was the mean change in HgbA1c over two years. The secondary outcomes were to evaluate the difference in (1) the proportion of patients achieving HgbA1c <8%, (2) the proportion of patients achieving blood pressure <130/80 mmHg, (3) mean LDL, (4) the proportion of patients prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1RA, and sulfonylureas, and (5) severe hypoglycemia after two years. 
Results: Data for 180 patients was analyzed over two years. The mean HgbA1c was 10% at baseline vs 8.2% after two years (adjusted mean change -1.92) among pharmacist-managed patients, compared to 9.9% vs 9% respectively for usual care patients (adjusted mean change -0.98) (p=0.004). Among pharmacist-managed patients, 53.5% achieved HgbA1c <8% compared with 34.2% of usual care patients (p=0.014). There were no statistically significant differences in proportion of patients at goal blood pressure, mean LDL, or hypoglycemia between the two groups. After two years, 18.3% of pharmacist-managed and 5.8% of usual care patients were on an SGLT2 inhibitor (p=0.008), and 46.7% of pharmacist-managed and 9.2% of usual care patients were on a GLP-1RA (p<0.001). No difference was found in sulfonylurea utilization. 
Conclusion: Patients with HgbA1c >8% managed by an ambulatory care pharmacist had twice the HgbA1c reduction and significantly more utilization of GLP-1RA and SGLT2 inhibitors as compared to controls provided usual care.

Low-Order Modeling and Sensor-Based Prediction of Stalled Airfoils at Moderate Reynolds Number
Authors: Carter Douglas W. , Ganapathisubramani Bharathram
Published: May 2023

We present analysis from planar time-resolved particle image velocimetry fields in the streamwise surface-normal plane of turbulent flow surrounding NACA 0012 and NACA 65-410 airfoils at [Formula: see text] focusing on stall phenomena at intermediate to high angles of attack [Formula: see text]. Dominant flow frequencies, identified from the lift spectra obtained from a load cell mounted to the foils, highlight the presence of bluff-body shedding [[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the frequency, [Formula: see text] the airfoil chord, and [Formula: see text] the freestream velocity] for all cases and prominent low frequencies [[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]] for cases in transient stall (TS). A data-driven modeling framework via the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) reveals that the low frequencies are associated to flow separation and reattachment driven by underlying expansion and contraction normal to the suction surface. Further, the ability to predict the low-order features from (pseudo) pressure probes at the leading, midchord, and trailing edges for both TS and deep stall (DS) cases is quantified using linear stochastic estimation (LSE). The framework pinpoints the centroid of the region of reverse flow with error on the order of 5 and 20% for DS and TS regimes, respectively. Notably, it is found that LSE coefficients governing the low-order POD correlations do not strongly depend on the airfoil geometry. This is demonstrated by the comparative performance of training the LSE using the probes of the NACA 0012 cases to predict the NACA 65-410 velocity fields and vice versa. This work demonstrates the insight afforded by the POD on the low-order features of turbulent stalled airfoils as well as the similarity of such features across geometries toward predicting flow features for potentially any airfoil geometry without the need to retrain an LSE library.

Reductive C–O Silylation by Rhodium/Lanthanum Cooperative Catalysis
Authors: Seki Rin , Takaya Hikaru , Nakao Yoshiaki
Published: May 2023

In the realm of synthetic organic chemistry, a transformation enabling access to high-value-added compounds from readily available starting materials is the most ideal. Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions, the coupling of two different electrophiles, are of great importance in terms of the variety and availability of electrophiles compared with common nucleophiles. Among various electrophiles, phenols and aryl ethers can be particularly useful aryl electrophiles owing to their low toxicity, robustness, and availability. However, XEC of phenols and aryl ethers remains elusive because it is generally challenging to distinguish between two electrophiles and selectively obtain cross-coupling products under harsh reaction conditions that are often required for the activation of the less reactive C–O bonds. Meanwhile, chlorosilanes are easily available and serve as silicon electrophiles to access the most known organosilicon compounds through coupling with organic nucleophiles. Considering the utility of organosilicon compounds as organic materials and building blocks for organic synthesis, the XEC of phenols and chlorosilanes can be a highly practical and useful transformation but has never been viable. Here we describe the XEC of phenol and alcohol derivatives with chlorosilanes by cooperative rhodium and lanthanum catalysis. This reaction allows a range of anisole derivatives as well as benzylic ethers, phenols, benzylic alcohols, allylic ethers, and allylic alcohols to be transformed into various organosilicon compounds in a single step. Mechanistic studies including kinetics, stoichiometric organometallic reactions, XAS, and theoretical calculations suggest a heterobimetallic complex bearing a Rh–Mg and/or Rh–La bond as a key catalytically active species. This method can be applied to the development of novel silicon- containing organic materials and drugs containing silicon as a carbon isostere. On the other hand, the XEC of phenol derivatives enables the use of biomass-derived resources as an alternative to petroleum to produce useful compounds in a sustainable manner.
Postpolymerization Modifications of Poly(ethylene oxide) through C–H Functionalization: Embracing Functionality, Degradability, and Molecular Delivery

Published: May 2023

This study presents a novel organocatalytic approach for direct modification of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) by attaching functional groups using C-H bond functionalization, yielding functionalized PEO with degradability and molecular delivery capabilities. Direct functionalization of PEO has been a challenging task due to the difficulty in finding versatile polymerization conditions that can accommodate various functional epoxides. The presented method overcomes these limitations and allows for a broad substrate scope including biologically active carboxylic acids such as ibuprofen and glycyrrhetinic acid. The modification process preserves the parent PEO structure throughout the highly reactive radical and oxocarbenium intermediate. The resulting functional PEO contains a degradable acetal unit, making it desirable for molecular delivery applications. Hydrolysis studies confirm the steady release of fragmented PEO and carboxylic acid. The drug-loaded PEO demonstrates cytoprotective activity in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The hydrophobic drug moieties taken up by cells and released via the acid-triggered cleavage of acetal linkages in the acidic environment of endosomes. Crosslinked PEO is also demonstrated with a dicarboxylic acid, which loses its gel architecture upon contact with water. The presented method offers a versatile and efficient way to modify PEO, with potential applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Rapid chemical screening of microplastics and nanoplastics by thermal desorption and pyrolysis mass spectrometry with unsupervised fuzzy clustering
Authors: Forbes Thomas P , Pettibone John M , Windsor Eric , Conny Joseph M , Fletcher Robert A
Published: May 2023

The transport and chemical identification of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are critical to the concerns over plastic accumulation in the environment. Transient MNP species present unique challenges for isolation and analysis due to many factors such as their size, color, surface properties, morphology, and potential for chemical change. These factors contribute to the eventual environmental and toxicological impact of MNPs. As analytical methods and instrumentation continue to be developed for this application, analytical test materials will play an important role. Here, a direct mass spectrometry screening method was developed to rapidly characterize manufactured and weathered MNPs, complementing lengthy pyrolysis-GC-MS analyses. The chromatography-free measurements took advantage of Kendrick mass defect analysis, in-source collision induced dissociation, and advancements in machine learning approaches for data analysis of the complex mass spectra. In this study, we applied Gaussian mixture models and fuzzy c-means clustering for the unsupervised analysis of MNP sample spectra, incorporating clustering stability and information criterion measurements to determine latent dimensionality. These models provided insight into the composition of mixed and weathered MNP samples. The multiparametric data acquisition and machine learning approach presented improved confidence in polymer identification and differentiation.
The Intrinsic Barrier Width and its Role in Chemical Reactivity
Authors: Qiu Guanqi , Schreiner Peter Richard
Published: May 2023

The Marcus dissection of the Gibbs activation energy (barrier height) into intrinsic and thermodynamic contributions, which successfully models the interplay of rate and driving force, has led to a crucial general phenomenological consequence: the well-known two reactivity paradigms of “kinetic versus thermodynamic control”. However, concepts analogous to the Marcus’ dissection for barrier widths are absent. Here we define and outline the barrier-width- counterpart of the Marcus dissection: the concept of intrinsic barrier width and driving force effect on the barrier width, and report experimental as well as theoretical studies to demonstrate their distinct roles. We present the idea of changing the barrier widths of conformational isomerizations of some simple aromatic carboxylic acids as models and use quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) half-lives as a read-out for these changes. This sheds light on resolving conflicting trends in chemical reactivities where barrier widths are relevant, and allows us to draw some important conclusions about the general relevance of barrier widths, their qualitative definition, and the consequences for more complete descriptions of chemical reactions based on one-dimensional reaction coordinates.
Modeling molecular ensembles with gradient-domain machine learning force fields

Published: May 2023

Gradient-domain machine learning (GDML) force fields have shown excellent accuracy, data efficiency, and applicability for molecules with hundreds of atoms, but the employed global descriptor limits transferability to ensembles of molecules. Many-body expansions (MBEs) should provide a rigorous procedure for size-transferable GDML by training models on fundamental n-body interactions. We developed many-body GDML (mbGDML) force fields for water, acetonitrile, and methanol by training 1-, 2-, and 3-body models on only 1000 MP2/def2-TZVP calculations each. Our mbGDML force field includes intramolecular flexibility and intermolecular interactions, providing that the reference data adequately describe these effects. Energy and force predictions of clusters containing up to 20 molecules are within 0.38 kcal/mol per monomer and 0.06 kcal/(mol Å) per atom of reference supersystem calculations. This deviation partially arises from the restriction of the mbGDML model to 3-body interactions. GAP and SchNet in this MBE framework achieved similar accuracies but occasionally had abnormally high errors up to 17 kcal/mol. NequIP trained on total energies and forces of trimers experienced much larger energy errors (at least 15 kcal/mol) as the number of monomers increased—demonstrating the effectiveness of size transferability with MBEs. Given these approximations, our automated mbGDML training schemes also resulted in fair agreement with reference radial distribution functions (RDFs) of bulk solvents. These results highlight mbGDML as valuable for modeling explicitly solvated systems with quantum-mechanical accuracy.

Published: May 2023

The influence of fluorinated substituents on the luminescent properties of rhenium-oxo, osmium-nitrido and gold triarylcorroles was studied via a comparison of four ligands: triphenylcorrole (TPC), tris(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)corrole (TpCF3PC), tris{3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)}corrole (T3,5-CF3PC), and tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (TPFPC). For each metal series examined, fluorinated substituents were found to enhance the luminescent properties, with the phosphorescence quantum yields and triplet decay times increasing in the order TPC < TpCF3PC < T3,5-CF3PC < TPFPC. Among the 11 complexes examined, the highest phosphorescence quantum yield, 2.2%, was recorded for Re[TPFPC](O).

Authors: Zub Valeriy , Kotuza Andrii
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT. The fight against oncological diseases remains one of the priority areas of the health care system of Ukraine. However, the development of medical science, the introduction of innovations in oncology practice, the COVID-19 pandemic and the conditions of wartime necessitate the need to review and improve the process of organizing the provision of oncological care to the population of Ukraine. Aim. The aim of the study is to research the opinion of practicing oncologists regarding certain aspects of the organization of medical care for cancer patients.9 Materials and methods. In the period of August-September 2022, an expert survey of 111 oncologists of the highest and the first qualification categories was conducted. The survey was carried out in 10 regions of Ukraine, which made it possible to cover all regional zones of Ukraine (northern, southern, western, northeastern and central regions of Ukraine). The findings were processed using statistical methods, structural and logical analysis and a systemic approach. Results. Most of the interviewed oncologists are guided in their work by the current standards of diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients on the basis of evidence-based medicine, however, about half of them note the need to review and make changes to it, while the international standards need adaptation to the possibilities of providing oncological care in Ukraine, according to the interviewees. A large number of oncologists need to organize internships, which, in their opinion, should improve the quality of medical services, and also suggest improving and expanding measures aimed at primary prevention and early diagnosis of oncological diseases. Conclusions. The data of the conducted research will contribute to the improvement of the quality of oncological medical care, revision of the standards of diagnosis and treatment of oncological diseases. The findings will be used to develop and work out a model for the optimization of the oncology care system for the population of Ukraine.

The article discusses and analyzes the economic and social rationality and expediency of organizing economic systems within the framework of various forms of the socio-economic organization of the state. A comparative analysis of the principles of evolutionary development of various spheres of existence of human societies is carried out. The emphasis is on comparing the biological and economic components of the life of social structures. Features of functioning and principles of organization of competitive capitalist and planned socialist economy are compared. These features of economic life in various state societies are compared. Comparative analysis is based on the perception of these economic systems by society. It is proposed to extrapolate the biological laws of the development of society and, above all, natural selection to the capitalist market economic system. Since human society has abandoned natural selection, which is expedient from the point of view of preserving the population, it has been suggested that the market economic system will also be transformed in the direction of moving away from the principles of natural selection (tough competition). Thus, truly human relationships can become dominant not only in the natural-biological, but also in the economic spheres of society. It is said about the expediency of comparing the functioning of economic systems with social systems, where natural selection has given way to the principles of universal humanism. An attempt is made to resolve the issue of the fundamental possibility of building a society of economic equality that does not contradict the biological nature of man. A variant of the organization of such a society can be a socio-economic system with a mixed economy, where the state guarantees the survival of all production structures, as well as employment.

The article analyzes healthcare costs by regions of Russia in the pre-pandemic period, at the height of the epidemic and after it. In the process of implementing the national project «Healthcare» and the state programs included in it, the financing of such an important industry has undergone significant changes and its growth is observed. However, COVID-19 has made its own adjustments to the size and dynamics of budget allocation for healthcare organizations. These figures do not meet objective needs in all regions, and the gap between minimum and maximum is very eloquent. To smooth out these gaps, it is possible to recommend the leadership of the regions to actively engage in fundraising and develop the institution of public-private partnership. To achieve this goal, the methods of vertical and horizontal analysis, trend, graphical, tabular analysis, deduction, induction were used in the work. The results of the study were the determination of the list of regions with the highest and lowest level of healthcare financing. The results obtained can serve as a basis for adjusting the relevant policy of Russia, as well as the development of the institute of public-private partnership in regions with a minimum level of funding.

La diabetes es una enfermedad crónica que se considera está presente en una extensa población. En la práctica diaria odontológica, es común que se presenten pacientes que padecen esta enfermedad, por lo que, es necesario estar conscientes para tener un abordaje médico adecuado. Los tratamientos dentales, no deben iniciarse hasta tanto se tenga la certeza de que el paciente diabético está debidamente controlado. Esto se debe, a que el paciente no solo está expuesto a descompensaciones metabólicas sino a complicaciones por cicatrización, infección y sangrado secundario por defectos en la herida. La enfermedad periodontal, las caries y la pérdida de dientes son consecuencias frecuentes de los pacientes con diabetes. En tal sentido, a través de la siguiente revisión bibliográfica se ofrece un análisis de la relación bidireccional entre la diabetes y la salud bucal. Existe evidencia sustancial que demuestra que la diabetes, asociada a un mal control de la glucemia, representa un importante factor de riesgo para la aparición de periodontitis de forma bidireccional, por lo tanto se explora la conexión entre la diabetes mellitus y los tratamientos odontológicos, además de los cuidados y manejos que el médico tratante debe tener en dichos pacientes.

Las tendencias actuales del derecho orientadas en el constitucionalismo de los derechos y en la doctrina del enfoque argumentativo del derecho, exigen a la institucionalidad pública y particularmente a las instituciones de educación superior que imparten formación a los abogados, un cambio en sus estructuras curriculares, que, por una parte, permitan constitucionalizar la formación en derecho y por otra, utilizar determinados contenidos disciplinares como métodos de interpretación jurídica. Este estudio plantea analizar los modelos teóricos del derecho, como métodos de interpretación jurídica, para la formación de un profesional que coadyuve a la solución de conflictos interpersonales y de las personas con los entes colectivos y públicos.
