ACOUSTIC UNDERLAY MANUFACTURED FROM CARPET TILE WASTES
Authors: Miraftab Mohsen , Rushforth Ian , Horoshenkov Kirill
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Carpet waste is of growing concern both to environmentalists and manufacturers
pressured by increasing costs of landfill dumping. The challenge for carpet producers is
to find ways of minimising their waste or find alternative uses for their unwanted byproducts.
This paper builds on an earlier study (Taylor, A.: ‘Novel underlays from carpet
waste’, Ph.D. thesis, Bolton Institute, U.K., 2004) where carpet tile wastes have been
successfully used to produce underlays for domestic as well as commercial markets. To
add value, the acoustic behaviour of these underlays, where granular/fibre mixing ratios,
binder concentration and particle size distribution play a major role, has been examined
in this study. The results show that it is possible to maximise the impact sound insulation
capabilities of these underlays by selective control and adjustment of the above variables.
Manufacturing formulation consisting of 60:40 granular/fibre mixture ratio, 60% binder
concentration and granule particle size dimensions of <2mm is shown to be most
appropriate in achieving effective impact sound insulation.
EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE TENSILE FORCE IN EMBROIDERY THREADS KNITTING
Authors: Hadzhidobrev Peter , Charalambus Andreas
Published: December 2023

In this work, a method for indirectly determining the tensile force in yarn of twisted units is propounded on a tensile force-elongation diagram. The elongation occurs in the change of the screw line step of the twisted units. The screw-line step is calculated after multiple measurements of short-length areas in the work zone of the knitting needles. The measuring is possible for knitting in producing conditions and in real time.

The review also includes previous work describing factors that affect cloth fell movement. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods used hitherto are underlined and the need of a satisfactory measuring method is emphasised.
STUDY OF EFFECT OF SPINNING PROCESS VARIABLES ON THE PACKING DENSITY OF RING, ROTOR AND AIR-JET YARNS USING THE TAGUCHI METHOD
Authors: Kumar Akshay , Ishtiaque S. M. , Salhotra K. R.
Published: December 2023

The effect of lap hank, card draft, draft/doublings and drafts at speed frame, ring frame, rotor and air-jet on packing density parameters were analysed using the Taguchi method. The trends of change in packing density with process variables are opposite to those of the yarn diameter and helix angle of the ring, rotor and air-jet yarns studied. The packing density is found to be the highest in air-jet yarn and the lowest in rotor yarn. An increase in draft in the air-jet and a decrease in the rotor spinner increases the packing density of the respective yarns.
POROSITY DETERMINATION OF JERSEY STRUCTURE
Authors: Benltoufa S. , Fayala F. , Cheikhrouhou M. , Nasrallah S. Ben
Published: December 2023

Abstract

In our paper, we attempt to investigate methods of determining jersey porosity which is
this fabric’s principal physical characteristic. In fact, end use, liquid absorbency, thermal
comfort and resistance are closely related to pore size and distribution. So it is important
to study porosity, in order to classify and determine the right use of jersey knitted
structure. Many methods are used to estimate porosity, but most concern air
permeability, image processing and geometry modelling. The first mentioned is used for
the stretched structure, the second is valid for fabrics with high porosity levels, and the
last mentioned is used to confirm any structure’s conformation.
The aims of this study are twofold; firstly, to recognise the most suitable and easiest
method of estimating the fabric’s porosity, and secondly to study the influence on porosity
of various knitting parameters of jersey structure such as yarn number and count, fabric
thickness, loop length, and stitch density.
INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERIODICITY OF MASS VARIATION OF YARN AND ITS EFFECT ON FABRIC APPEARANCE
Authors: Addisu Ferede , Abdul Hameed Peer Mohamed
Published: December 2023

The appearance of a fabric can be greatly affected if the yarn has a sufficiently pronounced periodic component. The severity of the periodic fault can only be estimated if its intensity is quantified. Even though a spectrogram is more reliable than other tools at determining periodicity, it gives only the resolved mass variation, which may not be present in the final yarn when different faults are superimposed. The relative index of irregularity of yarn is considered as a measure of the intensity of a periodic fault of a spun yarn. By correlating the above index with the relative unlevelness indices of finished fabrics knitted from yarn samples produced at different levels of roller eccentricity, we have established the threshold value of the relative index of irregularity of yarn which produces worse appearance values in the fabric.
COMPRESSIVE PROPERTIES OF STRETCH-BROKEN CARBON FIBRE (SBCF)/POLYAMIDE 12 COMMINGLED UNIDIRECTIONAL COMPOSITES
Authors: Azzam Hisham A.
Published: December 2023

Abstract

The present work investigates the compressive properties of SBCF/PA12 commingled
unidirectional composites manufactured by the hot compression moulding technique.
Different forms of failure mechanism have been observed microscopically for different
laminate thicknesses (6, 8, 10, and 12 layers). In addition, fibre-length distribution curves
have been developed at failure points. Thus, failure explanations for the SBCF/PA 12
composite during the compression test could be developed, depending upon microscopic
observations. Moreover, the effect of laminate thicknesses on compressive behaviour;
stress, strain and modulus has been analysed. It was found that by increasing laminate
thickness the compressive stress is decreased, the strain is increased and the modulus is
decreased significantly.

TEXTILE COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR SMALL INTESTINE REPLACEMENT
Authors: Deichmann T. , Michaelis I. , Junge K. , Tur M. , Michaeli W. , Gries T.
Published: December 2023

Down to the present day there are no sufficient techniques for a small intestine replacement, mostly because of the high standards for such implants. An indication for the need of novel operation techniques is the small patient survival rate of just 80 % for isolated small intestine transplantation and 62 % for combined liver-small intestine transplantation. The five year survival rates of the patients are merely 42 %. In order to overcome these limitations the authors are developing a partly resorbable textile-foam-composite for small intestine replacement The novel implant consists of a non resorbable textile PVDF mesh which is foamed with a micro porous, resorbable, and drug loaded polymer. The resorbable polymer serves on the one hand as initial sealing, therefore no intestine substance and bacteria can leak out into surrounding tissue, on the other hand it needs to be micro porous in order to ensure cell ingrowth. For the macro porous textile mesh warp knitting technology is used. The warp knitted tubular structure remains inside the body as a long term implant and provides mechanical support to ingrowing cells. In order to evaluate biomechanical properties of the warp knitted tubular PVDF meshes to compare them to the mechanical characteristics of small intestine tissue, tensile tests were conducted. Results of tensile tests on warp knitted structures with three different loop densities of 8, 12, and 16 loops per cm were compared to tensile tests on native small intestine tissue probes. The recorded curves of small intestine and warp knitted structures showed similar characteristics. The two characteristic Young Modules as well as the curve progression of the warp knitted structure with 12 loops per cm showed good accordance to the values of the native small intestine. Morphological analysis of the textile structures by digital image processing showed adequate pore size and porosity of the textile mesh.

EFFECT OF NONIONIC SURFACTANTS ON THE DYEING PROCESS OF CELLULOSE FIBRES WITH C.I. REACTIVE BLUE 217
Authors: Blus Kazimierz , Bemska Jadwiga
Published: December 2023

Abstract

This investigation addressed the role of nonionic surfactants on the sorption of C.I. Reactive Blue 217 by
cellulose fibres, focusing on the influence of the surfactant concentration and type on the spectroscopic properties
of this dye. It was found that surfactants in dyeing baths change the spectroscopic properties of dye solutions,
resulting in the decomposition of aggregates and agglomerates to form a surfactant-dye complex. The surfactants
in baths counteract the aggregating action of sodium chloride. The performed studies concerned the sorption
kinetics of dye from dyeing baths containing various surfactants and their influence on the exhaustion coefficients
of the dye. Changes in the electrokinetic potential of the dyeing bath were also examined. It was found that
nonionic surfactants retard the sorption processes of dye from the dyeing bath, improving dyeing quality.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

The aging population is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century and so is the subsequent increase in
patients with cardiovascular diseases. The state-of-the-art treatment for cardiovascular stenosis is an angioplasty
in combination with stenting of the affected artery. Stents can be either laser cut out of a tube or an interwoven
such as a braided structure. Furthermore, there are two groups of stents regarding their expansion behaviours:
balloon expandable and self-expandable. Within this paper, a new approach to braiding stent-like structures out
of a novel shape memory polymer fibre will be discussed. Furthermore, the heat treatment of the stent structure
will be investigated to improve its characteristics such as radial stiffness.
FIBRE STRAIGHTENING DURING THE FORMATION OF DISC SPUN YARN
Authors: Salem Mona M. , Sharrouf Abdel Aziz M. , Elshakankery Mahmoud H.
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Disc spinning is a new spinning technique that is still under investigation in many research institutes and
universities. It is not yet a commercial system, although it is promising. The appearance of the outer layer of
produced yarns is similar to that of ring spinning, but is produced at higher rates. It includes the major spinning
stages such as fibre opening, feeding to the forming zone and yarn consolidation by twisting, then yarn winding.
Opened fibres are condensed on the outer surface of a rotating screened surface disc and simultaneously
twisted by using an external twister. Air suction acts through a slit located just beneath the screened surface at a
certain angle that controls the laying angle of the fibre bundle on the screened surface. The formed yarn is then
drawn at a predetermined angle with respect to the slit direction. It is suggested that both slit angle and the
direction of the withdrawal of the yarn during its formation with respect to the slit affect fibre extent on the forming
zone and, accordingly, yarn properties. Papers about this new technique are limited, especially those considering
the effect of design parameters on fibre straightening during yarn formation. In this article, parameters expected
to affect fibre extent in the forming zone during yarn formation were suggested and treated theoretically to
maximise fibre straightening during yarn formation.
EFFECT OF THREAD STRUCTURE ON TENSION PEAKS DURING LOCK STITCH SEWING
Authors: Rengasamy R. S. , Wesley D. Samuel
Published: December 2023

A dynamic sewing tension study was carried out with a tension probe on sewing threads with different structures, physical and tensile characteristics in a single needle lock stitch sewing machine. The needle thread recorded four major tension peaks corresponding to events occurring during sewing; bobbin thread withdrawal, stitch tightening, needle piercing the fabric and tightening of the needle thread around the shuttle, among which stitch tightening caused the maximum tension for all threads. Polyester filament and spun polyester threads exhibited the highest and lowest tightening tension, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that pre-tension and elastic modulus show positive influences while tex, bending, rigidity and compressibility of threads show negative effects on tension peaks during tightening and needle piercing. Sewing speed shows a positive impact only on the tension peak due to needle piercing. Pre-tension showed a prominent influence on tension peaks on all threads while the number of fabric layers failed to show any effect.
STRUCTURAL DESIGN ENGINEERING OF WOVEN FABRIC BY SOFT COMPUTING: PART II - NON-PLAIN WEAVE
Authors: Mishra Rajesh , Kremenakova Dana , Behera B.K. , Militky Jiri
Published: December 2023

Abstract

The maximum weavability limit is predicted by extending Peirce's geometrical model for non-plain weaves for
circular and racetrack cross-sections by soft computing. This information is helpful to weavers in that attempts to
weave impossible constructions can be avoided, thus saving time and money. It also helps in anticipating
difficulties in weaving and in taking the necessary steps in warp preparation. The relationship between the cover
factors in the warp and weft directions is demonstrated for circular and racetrack cross-sections for plain, twill,
basket and satin weave. Non-plain weave fabric affords further flexibility for increasing fabric mass and fabric
cover. As such, they enlarge the scope of the fabric designer.
IMPARTING PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES TO LYOCELL VIA FINISHING TREATMENTS
Authors: Sarkar Ajoy K. , Vora Gunjan
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Lyocell fabric was analysed for its protective properties against UV radiation and disease-causing microbes.
Unfinished lyocell fabric afforded no protection against UV radiation and also possessed no antimicrobial
activity against the two microbes investigated in this study. To improve its protective properties, lyocell was
finished with a UV absorber. To enhance its antimicrobial properties, lyocell was treated with an antimicrobial
agent. It was experimentally determined that an optimum UV absorber concentration of 2% of the weight of the
fabric was sufficient to improve the UV properties of lyocell fabric to an excellent degree. The optimum antimicrobial
concentration for excellent antimicrobial activity was found to be 0.5% of the weight of the fabric. Subsequently,
lyocell fabric was finished with the optimum amount of UV absorber and antimicrobial agent in a combined
multi-functional bath. The data showed that the UV protection of lyocell fabric was not negatively affected when
a multi-functional bath was employed. Similarly, the antimicrobial efficiency was not reduced by multi-functional
finishing treatment. Further, the finishing treatments, whether applied singly or in a multi-functional bath, were
durable to laundering and to light exposure.
Evidences and therapeutic advantages of donanemab in the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Shukla Ajay Kumar , Misra Saurav
Published: December 2023

The humanised monoclonal antibody donanemab is being developed to treat early onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This drug targets N-truncated pyroglutamate amyloid-peptide at position 3 (N3pG), a modified form of deposited amyloid-peptide. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include gradual memory loss and other cognitive impairments. This disease is characterized by amyloid plaques, which are formed as a result of an accumulation of amyloid-(A-β) peptides. Despite granting donanemab breakthrough therapy designation in June 2021, the FDA rejected donanemab’s accelerated approval application in January 2023, due to inadequate safety data. According to the baseline amyloid level, the time to achieve plaque clearance (amyloid plaque level <24.1 centiloids) varied. Patients with higher baseline levels were more likely to achieve amyloid clearance. The safety of the drug was demonstrated by amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), which ranged from 26.1 to 30.5 % in the studies. Clinical trial results have shown that donanemab delays cognitive and functional deterioration in patients with mild to moderate AD. However, it is not yet known whether donenameb offers therapeutic benefits that can change and improve the clinical condition of AD patients. To achieve significant clinical benefits in AD patients with cognitive impairment, further studies may be needed to investigate the interaction between A-β plaque reduction and toxic tau levels.

Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada, konjugatlar ultrasonik işlemden (130 W, 20 kHz) 5 ve 15 dakika sonra soya protein izolatı (SPI) ve fruktoz (F) sulu dispersiyonlarının ısıtılıp glikasyon reaksiyonu (95 oC, 30 dakika) gerçekleştirilmesiyle hazırlanmıştır. Ultrasonik ön işlemin, elde edilen SPI-F konjugatlarının yapı ve fonksiyonel özellikleri üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Serbest amino grupları, aşılama derecesi ve FT-IR analizleri SPI-F konjugatlarının oluşumunu doğrulamıştır. Ultrasonik işlem glikasyon reaksiyonunu teşvik etmiştir. Konjugatların yapısal ve fizikokimyasal özelliklerindeki değişiklikler SPI’nin su tutma ve yağ tutma özelliklerinin düşmesine neden olsa da emülsifikasyon özelliklerini geliştirmiştir. Bu nedenle, emülsifikasyon özelliklerini kontrol etmek için soya proteini glikasyon konjugatlarının yapısını değiştirmek için optimum bir ultrasonik ön işlem kullanılabilir. Bu bulguların, gıda emülsiyonu ve diğer sistemlerde glikasyonla modifiye edilmiş protein-sakarit ikili sistemlerinin uygulanması için yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Science in a socially turbulent space
Authors: Kubalskyi O.N.
Published: December 2023

Based on the socio-systemic approach and communicative philosophy, the thesis proves the role of science as a stabilizing factor of social processes that take place in conditions of permanent growth of social turbulence for the first time. The phenomenon of science is considered comprehensively as essentially aimed at identifying stable and unchanging characteristics of certain systems of relevance, including society as such a dynamic and open system. Knowledge about the laws of society development revealed by science, supported by scientifically based knowledge about the determination of processes in the world as a whole, create the necessary theoretical principles, based on which value-based, worldview, methodological, and praxeological recommendations are developed, which contribute to the preservation of the sustainable development of society and the successful counteraction of destabilizing factors, including those that have the character of social turbulence in the first place. Social turbulence is analysed as a special type of social determination when the uncertainty of a significant part of social events stands in sharp contrast with society’s demand for stable and predictable development. It causes using the preventive actions to maintain and strengthen the intended course of development. Such actions partake of carrying out clearly defined operational tasks following the functional needs of one or another social system revealed by scientific research. Thanks to such a scientifically based operationalization, social systems do not go beyond the affordable (threshold) social-institutional imbalance or are guaranteed to restore their necessary social-institutional balance.
Influencia del modelo de gestión pública en Ciudades Inteligentes y Sostenibles
Authors: Acuña Rodríguez Roxana
Published: December 2023

Las ciudades inteligentes y sostenibles se perfilan como la respuesta a los desafíos actuales de las áreas urbanas y, en consecuencia, como la senda hacia la mejora de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. No obstante, el desarrollo de estas urbes no es uniforme, sino que se moldea según las particularidades de cada territorio, donde la gestión pública desempeña un papel fundamental en la configuración del desarrollo inteligente de cada comunidad. En este trabajo, presentamos los resultados de un estudio de caso aplicado a Heredia, Costa Rica, con el propósito de identificar las características del modelo de gestión pública de la ciudad y determinar su impacto en el desarrollo inteligente de su territorio. El enfoque teórico y metodológico se sitúa en el contexto de la Nueva Gestión Pública y los modelos de gobernanza de la era digital y la gobernanza pública inteligente. Mediante el análisis minucioso de los planes de desarrollo a largo plazo del gobierno local y la aplicación de un Índice de Ciudades Inteligentes y Sostenibles, se identificó la estrecha interconexión entre el estado actual de Heredia como una ciudad inteligente y la manera en que se administra el gobierno local. Entre los principales descubrimientos, destaca la influencia directa que ejerce la gestión pública del gobierno local de Heredia en el desarrollo de su ciudad inteligente, ya que, las áreas en las que no se implementan acciones adecuadas se presentan como desafíos para el progreso de la ciudad inteligente, lo que nos lleva a concluir que su modelo de gestión ha sido un factor determinante en su desarrollo inteligente. Asimismo, se identifican dos modelos diferentes de gestión pública dentro del contexto de Heredia, los cuales impactan de manera significativa en la evolución de la ciudad hacia la inteligencia urbana.

Published: December 2023

Tomamos Anísio Teixeira como um hub, a partir do qual, almejamos desenhar a configuração de redes, enlaçando sujeitos e instituições. Nossa atenção recai sobre o período entre 1935 e 1947, esmiuçando o trabalho editorial que realizou para Companhia Editora Nacional, a partir da documentação do acervo da editora, depositado Centro de Memória e Pesquisa Histórica do Departamento de História da EFLCH/UNIFESP. As fontes incluem, ainda, os documentos sobre a breve passagem de Anísio pela UNESCO, entre 15 de julho de 1946 e 15 de fevereiro de 1947, existentes no CPDOC-FGV e no UNESCO Archives, Fundo Preparatory Commission for UNESCO (Prep.Com), 1945-1946, e Dossiê Pessoal Anísio Teixeira (DPAT). O texto está estruturado em duas partes que se combinam com a introdução e com considerações finais. Na primeira parte, ressaltamos a atuação de Anísio junto à Cia. Editora Nacional. Na segunda, o foco se desloca para sua trajetória na UNESCO. Em ambos os casos, é a trama móvel das redes que conduz a escrita, guiada por uma argumentação alicerçada na história transnacional da educação. É importante realçar que ao endereçarmos a reflexão para a perspectiva transnacional, não estamos descurando do espaço nacional, nem colocando o Brasil na posição periférica com respeito a um suposto centro difusor de saber. Ao contrário, pretendemos reconfigurar o território a partir das experiências dos sujeitos, das trocas estabelecidas, problematizando o confinamento das fronteiras físicas na organização do campo educacional, em uma época marcada pela disseminação de governos autoritários, guerra e esforço de reconstrução em escala mundial.

O estudo objetiva discutir algumas estratégias utilizadas em uma escola pública municipal carioca para enfrentar os desafios da pandemia na educação escolar a partir do fechamento total das escolas no ano de 2020 até sua reabertura em 2022. Utiliza-se a teoria Street-level Bureaucracy lipskyana para contextualizar a ação discricionária da gestão escolar como burocrata de nível de rua que, na prestação do serviço público, ressignificam e fazem a política ao observarem as orientações expressas no alto escalão (Prefeitura Municipal e Secretaria de Educação), à medida que buscam responder às demandas da comunidade escolar. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com a gestão da escola, que foram analisadas por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva, categorizadas e interpretandas. Os resultados revelam antigos desafios reescritos pelo contexto pandêmico e provocações que exigem a atuação da gestão, salientando a importância da observação desses agentes implementadores no nível de rua.
LA HERRAMIENTA INTERACTIVA LIVEWORKSHEET COMO RECURSO DIDÁCTICO EN EL PROCESO DE ENSEÑANZA-APRENDIZAJE DE QUÍMICA
Authors: Chonillo-Sislema Luis Orlando
Published: December 2023

Las herramientas interactivas, con frecuencia, se excluyen de las aulas, limitando al uso de metodologías de enseñanza tradicionales; sin embargo, su inclusión en la enseñanza de Química ofrece nuevos paradigmas que buscan lograr resultados eficaces en el aprendizaje. En este sentido, el presente estudio aplica la herramienta interactiva liveworksheet en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de Química. Se asumió una metodología cuali-cuantitativa con diseño cuasiexperimental, se trabajó con una muestra censal de 146 participantes, 76 del grupo experimental y 70 del grupo control que cursaron tercero de bachillerato en la Unidad Educativa San Felipe Neri, durante el periodo académico 2021-2022, donde se aplicaron pre-pospruebas, y una encuesta de satisfacción. Los resultados del estadístico t-student evidenciaron cambios conceptuales y actitudinales al uso de liveworksheet, confirmando la mejora en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, y un mayor rendimiento académico al rechazar Ho por tener un p-valor < 0.05. En cuanto al conocimiento proporcionado, el 80.0 % lo califica como satisfactorio; así mismo, el 87.0 % señala las expectativas cumplidas como excepcionales, que fueron relevantes al mejorar significativamente el interés y motivación de los estudiantes por aprender. En consecuencia, se destaca que el uso de las herramientas interactivas influye en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de Química, con óptimos resultados.

El método del caso, desde que surgió en la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Harvard en 1914, es una de las herramientas más útiles y efectivas que las escuelas de negocios y las facultades de ciencias sociales tienen para transmitir conocimiento. Esta fórmula empleada desde entonces en muchos de los mejores centros de formación directiva de todo el mundo se basa en el relato, incluso muchas veces novelado, de una situación específica a la que se enfrenta una empresa y ante la cual los estudiantes tendrán que tomar una decisión; decisión, que no siempre es evidente y ni siquiera única o fácil de implementar. Es por ello que se utiliza una metodología de aprendizaje que implica al estudiante de forma activa en la búsqueda de la solución, sin ser reactiva como pudiera ser la lectura de un texto simplemente descriptivo. El método del caso Harvard reta al estudiante y a partir de ahí todo debe ser crecimiento para él, en un contexto de debate e intercambio de ideas.
Programa eleitoral em formato de Power Point: A proposta do programa de governo de Bolsonaro nas eleições presidenciais brasileiras de 2018
Authors: Johnen Thomas
Published: December 2023

This chapter aims at analyzing the following questions about Bolsonaro’s 2018 election program: What are the consequences for the presentation of its content and the candidate’s ethos of presenting an electoral program in the form of a Power Point? What are the functions of the religious text parts for the candidate’s ethos? Which hierarchy of explicit and implicit moral goods and values can be reconstructed in the program? Among others, the coherence is noted between the analyzed hierarchy (which considers private property and not human life to be the supreme moral good) and the necropolitics pursued by Bolsonaro during his administration.
Reading Asor Rosa’s Scrittori e popolo today: Populism as Universalist Political Approach
Authors: Guidali Fabio
Published: December 2023

The left-wing literary critic Alberto Asor Rosa provided one of the first analyses of populism in Italy with his book Scrittori e popolo (1965), which criticised the communist post-war cultural politics. He stated that universality of culture was a populist issue and welcomed any cultural expression taking a stand in favour of the working class as opposed to society as a whole. This chapter uses his idea of populism to investigate today’s populism in Italy and especially the Conte I Cabinet between 2018 and 2019, supported by two populist parties (Movimento Cinque Stelle and Lega), considering it unintentionally universalist.
CIVIL LAW REGIME OF ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE
Authors: Sannikov D. V.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article is devoted to a rather rare research focus of attorney‐client privilege – its civil law regime. The author focuses on the extremely low degree of scientific elaboration of the relevant issues in comparison with the criminal‐legal aspects of attorney‐client privilege in general and the inviolability of private life in particular. The article attempts to clarify the regulatory framework of the civil law regime of attorney‐client privilege. To this end, the author consistently examines the constitutional prere‐ quisites of the legal regime of legally protected secrecy, as well as the civil law regulation of privacy. The conclusion is made about the primacy of civil legislation in matters of legal regulation of the civil‐legal regime of attorney‐client privilege in terms of the regulation of intangible bene‐ fits in general and private life in particular. Attention is paid to regulato‐ ry legal acts regulating confidential information, personal data, as well as attorney‐client privilege directly. It has been found out that one of the determinants determining the existence of a lawyer's secret of a civil law regime is the emergence of a binding relationship between the lawyer and the principal, which determines the dissemination of the require‐ ments of paragraph 2 of Article 152.2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation to the information that has become known in connection with the fulfillment of the obligation.

Published: December 2023

Over the recent years, companies all over the world have been challenged with restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The article presents a brief comparative analysis of how the pandemic affected the financial and economic activities of both vertically integrated oil companies and independent oil and gas companies. The comparative analysis is focused on assessing financial stability of Irkutsk Oil Company Ltd. (INK Ltd.). Despite being affected by the pandemic, which led to low liquidity indicators, the solvency of INK Ltd. remains at a high level. The comparative analysis indicated that enterprises, depending on size and chosen development strategies, react differently to challenges and achieve different results. Vertically integrated companies often lack flexibility due to complex management structures and large-scale production. On the other hand, companies with fewer resources but with greater flexibility often gain leading positions.
Mechanism of adipose tissue-derived stromal cell-extracellular vesicles in treating oral submucous fibrosis by blocking the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway via the miR-760-3p/IGF1R axis
Authors: Wang Fengcong , Jiang Li , Liu Ping , Jiang Yanjun
Published: December 2023

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a prevalent chronic condition, and understanding its pathogenesis is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This study explores the potential of adipose tissue-derived stromal cell-extracellular vesicles (ADSC-EVs) in mitigating OSF and investigates the underlying molecular mechanisms. OSF was induced in mice by arecoline feeding. Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs), fibrotic buccal mucosal fibroblasts (fBMFs) isolated from OSF mice, and ADSC-EVs were comprehensively characterized. The treatment effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and pcDNA3.1-IGF1R on fBMF proliferation, migration, and invasion were assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry assay. The expression levels of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I, collagen III, and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) were evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot. The interaction between miR-760-3p and IGF1R was investigated. In fBMFs and OSF mice treated with a miR-760-3p inhibitor and/or EVs, the expression patterns of miR-760-3p, IGF1R, and proteins related to the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway were determined. ADSC-EVs demonstrated the ability to upregulate miR-760-3p, impede cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and reduce α-SMA, collagen I, and collagen III levels in fBMFs. The expression of miR-760-3p was diminished in ADSC-EVs treated with a miR-760-3p inhibitor. However, silencing miR-760-3p or overexpressing IGF1R partially counteracted the beneficial effects of ADSC-EVs on fBMF fibrosis. miR-760-3p directly targets IGF1R. Significantly, ADSC-EVs exert their suppressive effects on the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway through the miR-760-3p/IGF1R axis. In summary, ADSC-EVs, by transferring miR-760-3p and inhibiting IGF1R expression, effectively block the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway, thereby alleviating fibrosis in fBMFs and preventing the progression of OSF.
Bibliometric Analysis of Studies Based on Context-Based Learning Method in Science Teaching
Authors: KAN Sabri , KUMAŞ Ahmet
Published: December 2023

Although the studies on Context-Based Learning (CBL) within the scope of science are increasingly blooming in recent years, original studies offering new perspectives still remain limited in numbers. This shows that in order to increase the quality of studies on CBL in science, physics, chemistry, and biology teaching, there is a need for more inclusive studies and to ensure these new studies are original in their content. The aim of this study is to emphasize the need for CBL in high school science teaching by making a bibliometric review of the literature on CBL within the scope of science on the Web of Science (WOS). Performing a search in WOS by limiting "Science education and education research" with the title filter and "Context-based" keyword, a total of 545 studies were found. These studies were visualized using the VOSviewer 1.6.18 program. In this study descriptive statistical analysis, citation analysis, co-occurrence analysis, co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, and bibliographic matching analysis methods were used. The findings show that CBL is recorded in six main research areas: "Context-Based Learning", "Context-based approach", "Context-based problems", "Chemistry teaching", "Context-based responsibilities" and "Professional development of teachers". Although there have been intensive studies on CBL in the last 7 years, more qualified studies are needed within the scope of science education. There is a need for qualified studies on CBL for teachers to improve their teaching techniques and to overcome the gap in studies that facilitate students' learning.
