Authors: Vanus Dahi , Posohov Sergey
Published: May 2024

In the conditions of seismically active regions, the design and construction of buildings faces unique challenges associated with the need to ensure their earthquake resistance. Effective management of these challenges requires a carefully thought-out approach that includes not only engineering, but also economic aspects. This article discusses the methodology of economic assessment of various design solutions for buildings located in areas of high seismic activity.
The focus is on analyzing the costs and benefits associated with the introduction of advanced engineering technologies and materials designed to improve the seismic stability of buildings. A comparative analysis of traditional and innovative design solutions is provided, taking into account not only initial investments, but also long-term economic effects, such as reducing the cost of repair and restoration after seismic events, as well as reducing the risk of human casualties and related social and economic losses.
The article also provides recommendations on optimizing the cost of construction and operation of buildings in earthquake-prone areas, which may be useful for engineers, architects, investors and government agencies involved in planning and regulating construction.
The conclusions emphasize the need to integrate economic assessments into the process of choosing constructive solutions in order to ensure a balance between safety, reliability and economic efficiency of buildings in seismically active areas.

Authors: Tarbaev Vladimir , Yanyuk Vyacheslav , Pavlova Elena , Poryvkin Pavel , Pavlov Maksim
Published: May 2024

An algorithm for zoning arable land is proposed to develop planning documents for the agricultural land use, ensuring the integration of administrative, legal and economic mechanisms of state land management. When zoning, along with the indicator of soil fertility, the ratio of prices for agricultural products and production resources, as well as the transport distance to the object are taken into account. In accordance with the state regulation conditions of reproductive processes, there are 3 agro-economic groups of lands in the composition of arable land. For the soil and climatic conditions of the dry steppe zone in Saratov trans-Volga region, the share of lands “relatively suitable for arable land” in the composition of arable land is from 30 to 60%. The preservation of this group of lands as part of arable land implies systematic government subsidies to ensure reproductive processes.

Debt impact on the costs of agency conflicts, considering companies’ ownership structure
Authors: Makarova S. G. , Matsneva E. A.
Published: May 2024

The article attempts to determine whether the increase in debt burden reduces the costs of agency conflicts in Russian public companies with various types of ownership. The subject is the relationship between the share of debt in the capital structure and the costs of agency conflicts. The main goal is to develop the ways to reduce the costs of agency conflicts in Russian companies by managing the capital structure, taking into account the ownership structure of these companies. To achieve this goal, the authors present the results of an empirical study to identify the impact of debt in Russian public companies on reducing the costs of agency conflicts, depending on the type of ownership structure. New results obtained during an empirical study of 109 Russian public companies for the period from 2016 to 2020 prove the influence of company's capital structure on the level of agency costs. Thus, it has been proven that debt has a significant negative impact on the costs of agency conflicts in companies with state, managerial and institutional types of ownership. The concentration of managerial ownership is also of high importance. The authors argue that debt is more effective at low (<25%) concentration of management ownership. In addition, the study proves a non-linear relationship between debt and the costs of agency conflicts. Accordingly, in order to increase the effectiveness of this instrument, it is necessary to find the optimal capital structure (for electric power companies, it is about 37%, while for other industries – about 25%). Finally, the authors offer recommendations regarding the management of capital structure in Russian companies in order to reduce the costs of agency conflicts. These results can be used in joint-stock companies by both shareholders and management to reduce the consequences of agency problem in companies.

Published: May 2024

Online educational modalities are used extensively in courses that do not require hands-on laboratory experiences. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a need for transition from in-person to online laboratory-based courses, especially in animal and veterinary science courses. This study evaluated 163 undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory animal and veterinary science laboratory in the fall 2020 semester. Using surveys throughout the semester, student responses were collected and evaluated. Results indicated student performance on quizzes and exams were better during online instruction compared with in-person instruction, which contradicted previous studies reported in the literature. As a majority of these students were first-year, first-semester students, their metacognitive abilities were likely not fully developed. This laboratory course was taught initially online for the first half of the semester and then transitioned to in-person instruction as the university public health regulations allowed. Socially shared metacognitive regulation was only exercised during the in-person portion of the class. Results indicate an animal and veterinary science laboratory can successfully be taught online.

Inguinal hernia repair is a commonly performed surgical operation that is extensively conducted on a global scale. This study comprehensively investigates the enduring results of employing mesh versus non-mesh repair techniques in inguinal hernia surgery. The data was obtained by an extensive search of internet databases, such as Google Scholar, ColumbiaDoctors, and PubMed/MEDLINE. The search specifically targeted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were published in English. The review examined seven relevant trials, which were evaluated for recurrence rates, postoperative discomfort, and other clinical outcomes. The findings suggest that the use of mesh surgery is superior in preventing hernia recurrence compared to non-mesh repair, without any notable disparities in postoperative complications or discomfort. Research has demonstrated that the utilization of lightweight (LW) mesh can effectively decrease chronic pain and enhance the speed of recovery. However, because to discrepancies in study designs, surgical procedures, and patient demographics, additional consistent and comprehensive research is necessary to improve therapeutic regimens. Additional research should prioritize the investigation of these constraints, specifically in relation to extended-term results and the influence of surgical proficiency on improving clinical judgment and patient welfare.

An 11-year-old female pediatric patient presented with clinical manifestations such as preauricular appendage, ocular dermoid cyst, and facial asymmetry predominantly on the left side. Psychological tests revealed that the patient had difficulty concentrating, anxiety, rumination about the past, regression, insecurity, and a need for immediate gratification. It is concluded that managing patients with Goldenhar syndrome often requires the collaboration of various medical specialists, such as geneticists, otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and therapists. This case demonstrates the need for a multidisciplinary approach in healthcare and emphasizes the importance of communication and coordination among professionals from several specialties.
Free Vibration Analysis of Toroidal Shell Segments Reinforced by Graded Graphene in Elastic Medium
Authors: Khalaf Ahmed S. , Hasan Hamad M.
Published: May 2024

This paper presents an analytical solution for free-vibration analyses of functionally graded graphene platelets (GPL) reinforced composite toroidal shells in an elastic medium. Four continuous distribution patterns of GPL are investigated in this study. The elastic properties of the shell have been calculated from the Halpin-Tsai micro-mechanical relationship. The governing partial differential equations of motion are derived based on the third-order shear deformation shell theory (TSDT). The shell equations are solved by adopting the approximated solution which satisfies simply supported BCs. The influences of the graphene weight fraction, distributions of the volume fraction, the number of waves, and the geometric and foundation parameters on the natural frequency of the toroidal shell segment are studied. It was clear that the FG-X distribution pattern outperformed other types of dispersion. Additionally, the presence of an elastic foundation increases the shell's natural frequency

Published: May 2024

This research concentrates on the fabrication and characterization of biodegradable food packaging composed of Chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), both possessing antioxidant and antibacterial activates. Simultaneously, the aim is to enhance the degradation of food packaging materials, safeguarding the environment against the hazards of pollution caused by food packaging waste, thereby safeguarding human health. The study explores the impact of different molecular weight biopolymers combined with synthetic polymers by incorporating various molecular weights of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol PVA in different ratios (pure MMW-CS, LMW-Cs, PVA, 70:30, and 90:10). Films were created using the solvent casting method to fabricate and characterize biodegradable food packaging from these biopolymers, aiming to mitigate environmental pollution caused by food packaging waste and its adverse effects on human health. Various tests were conducted, and the comparison between MMW_CS and LMW_Cs revealed that the most effective combination was found to be (pure and 70 % MMW_CS). This combination exhibited superior antibacterial properties, enhanced biofilm formation, favorable contact angle, UV resistance, as well as improved results in AFM and DSC analyses. The chitosan content played a significant role in augmenting the antibacterial activity and reducing roughness in the AFM test. Moreover, chitosan-based films demonstrated exceptional UV absorbance, providing a protective shield against lipid oxidation induced by UV light, thereby preserving the quality of the packaged food

La relación entre las plantas con flores y los polinizadores rara vez ocurre de a pares dado que la mayoría de las especies de plantas son visitadas por más de una especie polinizadora. Un aspecto central es la identificación de los visitantes florales que ejercen el mayor efecto positivo sobre el éxito reproductivo de las plantas. En Lepechinia floribunda (Lamiaceae), se ha observado que los polinizadores nativos (Bombus spp) proporcionan un mayor movimiento de polen y formación de semillas en comparación con los polinizadores exóticos (Apis mellifera). Sin embargo, aún se desconoce cómo esta eficiencia se refleja en los niveles de germinación de las semillas (calidad de la progenie) de las flores visitadas por cada grupo de polinizadores. Este estudio evalúa cómo la efectividad en la polinización de los principales grupos de polinizadores afecta el éxito de germinación de las semillas de L. floribunda. Se compararon los niveles acumulados y totales de germinación de 363 semillas provenientes de 256 flores visitadas por Bombus spp o A. mellifera. Se observaron patrones similares a lo largo del tiempo, con una ligera tendencia hacia una mayor germinación de las semillas de las visitas de Bombus spp, aunque esta tendencia no fue estadísticamente significativa. Estos resultados sugieren que la menor eficiencia de A. mellifera polinizando no afectarían significativamente el potencial de supervivencia de la progenie de L. floribunda. Además, destacan la importancia de cuantificar de manera integral la contribución de cada visitante floral al éxito reproductivo de las plantas.

Authors:   Minsk Theological Academy named after St. Cyril, Bishop of Turov, Shatalov Sergei
Published: May 2024

The article reveals the factors that negatively affect the worldview of modern youth, leveling family values and significantly reducing the popularity of the family lifestyle among the younger generation, including boys and girls brought up in Orthodox families, whose parents are not always able to instill in their children their Christian vision of the family, to form competent ideological assessments of the role of men and women in the family. An assessment of the importance of the family from the position of representatives of the Orthodox Church is given, it is shown that in the context of the educational mission of the Russian Orthodox Church, one of the directions is to strengthen the missionary orientation of parish life in the field of youth upbringing. It is possible to make up for the loss of ideas about the family way of life among young people by developing their Christian worldview and forming ideas about the family way of life in accordance with Christian commandments. At the same time, programs of educational work among young people implemented by parishes are becoming important. Based on the study of family values among high school students, it was revealed that many students cannot name the ways of showing love in the family, their attitude towards parents is consumerist, many have erroneous ideas about family roles, and the culture of family life is not a value. In order to form in high school students the ideas of an Orthodox family lifestyle, the program consisting of creative workshops with students and joint meetings with students and their parents has been implemented.

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene por objeto el análisis en torno al Estado de Excepción, el uso de la fuerza por parte de los agentes del orden y la posible transgresión de la dignidad humana como consecuencia de los posibles excesos durante su vigencia. Al tratarse de un régimen excepcional, de última ratio, que opera ante la insuficiencia de medios ordinarios para contrarrestar situaciones que puedan tornarse anormales, el Ejército y la Policía Nacional son los responsables de la custodia de los bienes jurídicos protegidos en la Constitución. Es decir, es a través de esta institución que el Estado logra conservar el orden público y asegurar la vigencia y pleno ejercicio de los derechos humanos, sin ningún tipo de discriminación o restricción, en los términos establecidos en la Constitución y en los instrumentos internacionales. Lo dicho será analizado a partir del caso puntual del estado de excepción dictado a propósito de la emergencia sanitaria Covid-19. Finalmente, para evitar que estas acciones vuelvan a repetirse en un futuro, y en base ciertos parámetros constitucionales, convencionales y legales, proponemos la necesidad de que la Corte Constitucional establezca dentro de sus dictámenes y autos de seguimiento, estándares mínimos enfocados en guiar el accionar de los agentes del orden, tanto de las Fuerzas Armadas como Policía Nacional durante situaciones análogas.

After outlining Mooney's primary characteristics as a rider, it then turns to the cycle of reducing to make riding weight, the bane of most jockeys, and the constant threat of injury and death with which they lived. The chapter continues by exploring the rift that had developed between J. D.

The Redemptive Implications of Chen Qiufan’s Waste Tide
Authors: Chen Qixia , Chen Aihua ,   Marquette University Press
Published: May 2024

Waste Tide, Chen Qiufan’s debut sci-fi novel, has received growing critical attention. While most of the scholarship focuses on the explicit themes of globalization, post-human, cyborg, and alienation, the perspective of Christianity and the redemptive implications it reveals have not been given due attention. Christian stories and doctrines referred to in the novel are quite closely related to the theme of the redemption of the characters. By presenting the characters’ redemption journey with Christian principles, Chen Qiufan reveals their complex inner world and points out the ways to realize self-redemption. This paper argues that Waste Tide can be most meaningfully interpreted as a story of sin and redemption by utilizing the genre of science fiction. Love, forgiveness, confession, and atonement are emphasized in the novel to serve as the remedies for fallen humanity in a world of technological development and global capitalism. A thorough analysis of the Christian underpinning in this novel reveals Chen Qiufan’s strength in characterization and presenting important moral concerns in a world dominated by technoscience through the Christian voice.

Authors:   Jinka University, Department of Plant Science, College of Agriculture and Natural Resource, Southern Ethiopia., Abebe Daniel
Published: May 2024

Maize streak virus (MSV) has deleterious effects on maize production in tropical and sub-tropical Africa. The disease is transmitted persistently by several species of leafhoppers, Cicadulin spp. (Homoptera: Cicadellidae). Therefore, it is prudent to mitigate the control of MSV is most effective when cultural and chemical methods are integrated with plant breeding for resistance. While host plant resistance is the best method of MSV management, it is not usually easy to conventionally produce resistant cultivars. This paper reviews the distribution, host/species affected, dispersal, impact and information evaluation of improved maize varieties. This review aims to address successful breeding strategies regarding maize streak virus resistance. Resistant cultivars are important to control maize streak virus since they do not present additional costs for the farmer, do not harm the environment and reduce costs of seed production.
