Published: July 2023

Stress can be defined as a brain-body reaction towards stimuli arising from the environment or from internal cues that are interpreted as a disruption of homeostasis. A number of reports indicated that treatment with herbal plant extracts could lead to a significant reduction in stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antistress activity through Inescapable electric chronic foot shock model in mice and to assess the effect of extract on stress induced behavioral changes in animals and to determine the efficiency of Benincasa hispida Cogn. Extract on Motor activity and Elevated plus maze to assess anxiety. In this study, mice were divided into five groups with five animals each. The first group received ip dose of the vehicle saline (2ml/kg). The second group received diazepam 1mg/kg ip along with foot shock. Third, fourth, and fifth groups received oral dose of 100, 200, and 400 mg /kg of fruit extract of Benincasa hispida along with foot shock. Inescapable electricFoot-shocks (intensity 0.8mA, interval: 10sec, duration:10sec) were delivered through a grid floor once daily for 21 days. The results showed that Benincasa hispida extract (200 and 400mg/kg) was found to have an antistress effect. The dose of Benincasa hispida extract (200 and 400mg/kg), increased entries into open arm and the time spend in open arm on the elevated plus maze test indicate that extract reduced the stress level and it significantly reduced the spontaneous motor activity and decreased the anxiety. The results suggest that the ethanolic extract of Benincasa hispida has potential antistress effect that can be explored for therapeutic advantage as an alternative treatment in medical conditions.
Wireless electrochemistry for determination of chirality in samples
Authors: Arnaboldi Serena
Published: July 2023

The concept of inherent chirality has gained considerable attention due to the possible synthesis of π-conjugated monomers that can be employed for preparing chiral electrode surfaces after electrooligomerization [1]. These materials have been used in enantiorecognition measurements involving chiral analytes, resulting in high selectivity based on diastereomeric interactions between the deposited enantiopure antipode and the probes dissolved in solution. In this context the high enantioselectivity of such chiral surfaces was used in combination with the mechanical and electrical properties of polypyrrole (Ppy) films to develop three new straightforward read-outs for the absolute on-off recognition of enantiomers of a chiral probe in solution; i) electromechanical deformation [2], ii) electrochemically induced light emission [3] and iii) self-induced enantioselective trajectories [4]. These new approaches convert chiral information present at the molecular level into macroscopic actuation, light emission or controlled trajectories. Furthermore, such systems allow correlating the output signal with the concentration of the enantiomers present in solution, even in the case of mixtures containing different ratios of the molecular antipodes.

Hrushevsky M. and the concept of Ukrainian unity (1917–1918)
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Soldatenko Valerii
Published: July 2023

The article reveals M. Hrushevsky's contribution to the substantiation of the concept of the unity of Ukraine. Historiography includes a wide range of publications devoted to elucidation of the phenomenon of the development by scientist and constant leader of the Central Council of a comprehensive, multifaceted, polyhedral concept of the Ukrainian national democratic revolution, while its organic, integral (though in some sense self-sufficient) component – the theoretical formation of projects to collect in a heap ethnically related branches of Ukrainianness, the territories in which they lived – much less often became the subject of special study and evaluation, freely or unwillingly moved to the periphery of the analysis. As a rule, attention shifted to the events of late 1918-early 1919, when the historical figure no longer exerted such influence on social processes as before. However, the fact remains that a prominent intellectual, impeccably possessing scientific methodology and historical data, in particular – statistics, convincingly proved that the most reliable, most logical and understandable, by the large extent and in general terms legitimate version of the constructive movement to the desired goal must be strict adherence to the ethnographic principle. On its basis, the general boundaries of the settlement of the Ukrainian ethnic group were objectively delineated and specifically calculated real proposals were formulated (such work was not simple and not momental) as to include in the revived state at the district level (of course, especially in borderline cases) historically formed lands, where the undoubted predominant array was Ukrainianness. In controversial and сontradictory situations, taking into account the dynamics of revolutionary change, local referendums and plebiscites were planned. Honest, verified, fair approaches formed the basis of the defining documents that guided the current and perspective process of formation of Ukrainian statehood – the Universals of the Central Council and the Constitution of the Ukrainian People's Republic. Theoretical hypothetical constructions were subsequently seriously confirmed in their deep essence by life practice. The author concludes that the specified aspect acquires a special sound and political relevance in connection with the modern information war, the epicenter of which has recently been more than a century of experience of Ukrainian statehood, especially its unity component.

Published: July 2023

This publication examines the features of the manifestations of political absenteeism and public activism in Ukrainian society. The phenomenon, causes of political absenteeism and its impact on the socio-political life in Ukraine are studied, as well as the ways to reduce absenteeism tendencies in our society are identified. Particular attention is placed on the spread of political absenteeism among young people and other age groups, which led to low turnout in the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2019 and the lowest turnout for the entire history of Ukraine in local elections in October 2020. It is shown that the introduction of foreign experience in overcoming of political absenteeism will allow to identify effective ways to reduce this phenomenon in Ukrainian society. The authors also study the phenomenon of public activism. It is noted that it gained special momentum during the Euromaidan, when political activity of citizens increased sharply against the background of total corruption in all branches of government, accompanied by a backdown from European integration course, the collapse of the army against the background of strengthening law enforcement agencies. The occupation of Crimea and Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine led to the development of volunteer battalions and volunteer movements. The authors note that in recent years the activity of citizens has focused primarily on solving pressing problems of local importance, in particular on combating illegal construction, protecting entrepreneurs from the arbitrariness of local authorities. To support the development of civic activism in Ukraine, different educational projects, online courses, trainings etc were organized. The state of public activism in Ukraine is analyzed, in particular - at the local level, aimed at establishing a real civil society, strengthening the influence of local communities to solve local problems, offers ways to improve the political culture of citizens.
„History of migrant”: forms of data collection and ways of presenting them in scientific publications
Authors:   International Institute of Education,  Culture and Diaspora Relations of Lviv  Polytechnic National University, Hnatiuk Volodymyr
Published: July 2023

The article highlights the issue of a comprehensive consideration of three forms of data collection on the migration histories of displaced persons and four ways of presenting them in scientific publications. It is emphasized that today the most commonly used formats among scholars are conventional questionnaires, the life history calendars, and the migration history charts, which can be used methodically alternatively as independent tools or complement each other in data collection. The author also identifies analytical situations in which it is appropriate to test these forms, namely: 1) conventional questionnaires are effective when it is necessary to record a few facts about an individual’s migration history, and the information itself is quantitative in nature; 2) the life history calendars are optimal for forming a complete migration history, being a tool aimed at covering various spheres of a person’s life throughout his or her existence; and 3) the migration history charts are more valuable when the focus is on long-term interpersonal ties (usually family) in a spatial and chronological sense. Additionally, emphasis is placed on disclosing the differences that arise from each form of collection and have relevant implications for the analysis of the data. The paper considers four possible ways of implementing data from migration histories in scholarly works, including: 1) case studies; 2) a basis for identifying and classifying patterns; 3) aggregation of quantitative data; and 4) informational background that is not explicitly expressed in the text. The author highlights the idea that the place of migrants’ histories has acquired a new meaning, since in recent years they have been perceived not exclusively as primary material for the researcher’s analytical work, which without further secondary comprehension will not be of cognitive value, but as a key source on the basis of which significant conclusions are drawn. The author marks that, due to their conceptual proximity to the idea of „oral history”, migrants’ histories can potentially become a powerful evidence base in political discourse and international law regarding crimes against humanity. It raises the current „Ukrainian issue” around the world in a particularly scientific and pragmatic way, given the events of last year’s military aggression by Russia, which continues to be ongoing.
Posttruth as an instrument of political narrative of the postmodern era
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Samchuk Zoreslav , Hurkivska Alona ,   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
Published: July 2023

The article provides a multidimensional analysis of the post-truth phenomenon from the historical aspect, as well as an instrumental means of achieving an informational-communicational goal; a way of positioning in relation to significant aspects of socio-political reality; and a political technology aims at ensuring competitive advantages, etc. Post-truth is conceived in the form of a specific information and communication product of the postmodern era, which arose in response to certain megatrends including criterion relativism, devaluation of meanings and values, and the simulation imperative of socio-political life activity. Priority research efforts are focused on the meaningful demarcation of the post-truth regarding truth and lies, since this subject field determines the prospects for the conceptual expression of post-truth. The narrative form of representation is essential for the instrumental and functional effectiveness of post-truth. Not polemics and discourse with their requirement of convincing semantic reliefs and hierarchies, but the narrative as a certain order of words and storytelling, not burdened by the requirements of convincing argumentation, provides the most comfortable conditions for the expansion of post-truth in the informational and communicational environment. An important feature is a striking difference between reality and its portrayal by post-truth instruments. An analysis of the challenges and threats of post-truth, which requires a priority response from the professional community and the public consciousness in general – shows that the avalanche-like use of post-truth tools in the informational environment leads to the increase of a disinformation level aimed at creating and spreading false perceptions of reality to serve political interests and needs. It is the post-truth toolkit that is a specific experimental platform for double standards, bias, prejudice, manipulation, and propaganda. The devolution of truth into post-truth objectively and naturally leads to symmetrical degradation and involution of politics into politicking, which is never guided by public interests, but always only by its own, de facto parasitizing on the opportunities and powers it has gained.

Authors: CHANDRA GEETA , DASH DIPTIMAYEE
Published: July 2023

The experiment was carried out in the years 2021-22, at the Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). The study involved application of foliar spray of bio-inoculants and micronutrient; Ammonium Molybdate. Bio-inoculants; Azotobacter and Azospirillum inoculation strains were collected from Microbiology repository and were revived for biochemical characteristics on Jensen’s and Okon’s media respectively. Both the isolates showed positive reaction for starch hydrolysis test, catalase test, urease test and oxidase test. Plant parameters evaluated include biomass accumulation and fruit weight per plant. The experimental results revealed that significantly maximum fruit weight per plant (359.0g), dry shoot biomass (16.6g/ plant), dry root biomass (8.6g/ plant) were recorded under T4 (IF + Foliar Application of Bio-inoculants and Ammonium molybdate 0.2%). Besides higher microbial population, Azotobacter (44.3 x 103 cfu/ g of soil), Azospirillum (28.5x 103 cfu/ g of soil) were also observed to be significant under T4. Dehydrogenase activity in rhizosphere soils was found maximum 27.3 µg TPF/g soil/h under T4 (IF + Foliar Application of Bio-inoculants and Ammonium molybdate 0.2%) at 60DAT. Thus application of Bio-inoculants along with Ammonium molybdate (0.2%) as foliar spray along with 50% inorganic fertilizer proved to be the most effective and may be adopted in Broccoli cultivation.

Value Chain Analysis of the Marine Ornamental Reef: A Case Study in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia
Authors: Intyas Candra Adi , Tjahjono Agus , Koestiono Djoko , Riana Fitria Dina , Suhartini Suhartini
Published: July 2023

Coral is the main component of coral reefs and forms an ecosystem that is home to approximately 93 000 species of marine biota. In their development, corals are traded and become decorations in aquariums because of their beauty. Currently, in Indonesia, the trade in ornamental corals is still on an export scale, including hard coral species, which are strictly monitored because some are included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Appendix II. This research aimed to analyze the ornamental coral value chain at an ornamental coral company in Banyuwangi related to value-added activities, governance, and profit margins to see economic and environmental sustainability using the Porter value chain. The results showed that the primary activities that still needed to be more optimal were operational activities and outbound logistics, environmental factors (weather conditions), and improper handling causing coral death or damage (wounds). Meanwhile, the secondary activities that could have been more optimal are infrastructure and technology development. The profit margin obtained by the company was 97 523.53 US dollars with a value of 45.16% of revenue, showing that the business is profitable. Therefore, infrastructure improvements and technology development are still needed for optimal results. Further research is recommended to be conducted in relation to business development strategies and improvement of coral quality and packaging processes. Additionally, in order to support better traceability and long-term business sustainability for corals, the dearth of historical data on the ornamental coral trade in Indonesia needs to be tackled.
Arendt and Plato in Dialogue
Authors: Sheffield Frisbee C. C. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2023

In “Thinking and Moral Considerations,” Arendt explores whether there is a relationship between thinking and abstention from wrongdoing. Two propositions are used from Plato’s Gorgias to explore the normative dimension of thinking, conceived as internal dialogue between a two-in-one in the mind: that one should not be out of harmony with oneself and that it is better to suffer than do wrong. Arendt attempts to derives the second “moral” proposition from the first, a move which has been seen as weak. This paper offers a new reading of the argument by bringing Arendt into closer dialogue with Plato. The argument is in fact grounded in the importance of plurality and relationality (to the thinking dialogue), and what is required to negotiate it: equality. Wrongdoers show a disdain for equality, and as such they are not collaboration-apt; so, there can be no collaborative dialogue with a wrongdoer. This generates the desired conclusion that if one is to think collaboratively and harmoniously (desired because the two exist in my one person), one should abstain from wrongdoing.

The goal of the European project ALTERFOR was to find robust strategies concerning forest management that would be resistant to challenges of the 21st century, and support their transfer into practice. The Research, Integration and Utilization (RIU) model was applied to organize the transfer. While this model was applied in nine countries, this paper deals only with experience from Slovakia. We simulated for four climate scenarios and three management strategies, which ecosystem services would be provided by different forest management models for the next 100 years. While the simulation was done independently of integration, the integration phase provided a forum for not only involving the key actors in project research but also a platform for transferring the scientific knowledge to these actors. Utilization of the results and their transfer into action was in the hands of powerful actors. We found that the results as a whole were not transferred, but rather some pieces of knowledge (e.g. the transparent and newly developed modelling methods for provisioning of ecosystem services). In summary, as a part of interest-oriented communication only selected scientific information was reinserted into the existing knowledge and experience of actors, and thereby shaped their potential actions (e.g. requesting scientific consultation).

This comprehensive review paper examines the utilization of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) in both clinical and non-clinical research. ERPs serve as valuable electrophysiological measures for studying neural activity associated with cognitive processes, offering high temporal accuracy and noninvasive observation of brain responses. The paper explores the benefits, challenges, and limitations of employing ERP paradigms in research. Technical expertise is necessary due to factors such as low signal-to-noise ratio and potential artifacts. These limitations must be addressed to ensure robust experimental design and accurate interpretation of findings. The review investigates the diverse applications of ERPs in clinical research, particularly in neurological and psychiatric conditions, where ERPs contribute to understanding underlying neural mechanisms and potential biomarkers. Additionally, non-clinical research areas, such as language processing and attentional mechanisms, are examined for their insights into cognitive processes. The current state of the field is discussed, with a focus on potential future directions. Technological advancements, including signal processing techniques, electrode design, and data analysis methods, are identified as areas for further development to improve the reliability and ease of use of ERP paradigms. It generally highlights the significance of ERPs as a powerful tool in cognitive neuroscience research. By examining their applications, challenges, and future prospects, the paper emphasizes the need for continued technological advancements to fully unlock the potential of ERPs in both research and clinical settings.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition where a person's blood pressure is ? 140 mmHg (systolic) and/or ? 90 mmHg (WHO, 2019). Hypertension is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it is often without complaints until it becomes severe and causes disease in other organs. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of non-pharmacological therapy education on hypertensive patients for the success of their treatment therapy so that their blood pressure can return to normal. Methods This study was conducted by sampling data collection in June 2022 at Derwati Pharmacy in Bandung, West Java. The data collected was on patients who had hypertension results above normal or the results given were ?140 mmHg (systolic) and / or ? 90 mmHg by direct examination using a tension device. Patients are given education about what is recommended and not recommended so that blood pressure can drop to normal. The results of the study can be that the provision of non-pharmacological therapy education to hypertensive patients at Derwati Pharmacy in June 2022 can help reduce high blood pressure (hypertension).

High-energy proton beams have extensive and important applications. Traditional proton accelerators are bulky and costly. The high-power laser pulse technology provides a new proton acceleration scheme based on the interaction between laser and plasma, and has the advantage of miniaturization. Furthermore, comparing with traditional proton accelerators, the proton acceleration gradient by high-power laser pulses can be increased by three orders of magnitude. The proton beams with high brightness, narrow pulse width, and good directionality can be generated in theory within a very small effective size, and they are suitable for fields such as nuclear physics and particle physics, ion beam fast ignition, medical treatment, and proton beam detection. In order to realize laser proton acceleration, a great many of researches of different target configurations and acceleration mechanisms have been reported on proton acceleration driven by ultrashort and high-power lasers. However, owing to the limitation of laser intensity, the energy of proton beam driven by a single-beam laser is difficult to improve to meet the needs of medical applications. In this paper, a new method of driving proton acceleration by multiple ultrashort high-power lasers with grazing incidence on both sides of the microstrip target is proposed. A proton beam with an energy divergence of about 3% and energy of about 165 MeV can be obtained by using the two-beam driving setting. The results of two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation show that a large number of collimated high-energy electron charges are extracted from both sides of the solid target by laser and injected into the back of the target. A longitudinal bunching field is established on the back of the target, which drives protons to accelerate and bunch to form a quasi-monoenergetic high-energy proton beam. The research also shows that the proton beam with an energy divergence of about 2% and energy of about 250 MeV can be obtained by using four grazing ultrashort high-power lasers on both sides of the microstrip target. The mechanism of multi-laser beams driving proton acceleration provides a new idea for the energy enhancement of the proton beam, and the quasi-monoenergetic high-energy proton beam is expected to be applied to the field of medical treatment.

In the past decade, magnetic topological insulators have been an important focus in condensed matter physics research. The intricate interplay between the nontrivial band topology and spin, orbit, charge, and dimensionality degrees of freedom can give rise to abundant exotic topological quantum states and topological phase transitions. Measuring the transport properties of magnetic topological insulators is a crucial approach to exploring their exotic properties, which is of significant scientific importance in deepening our understanding of topological quantum states. Simultaneously, it also holds substantial potential applications in the development of novel low-power electronic devices. In this work, experimental progress of transport researches of magnetic topological insulators is reviewed, including quantum anomalous Hall effect and topological quantum phase transitions in magnetically doped topological insulators, the quantum anomalous Hall phase, axion insulator phase and Chern insulator phase in intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4, as well as the helical phase emerged from the Chern insulator in pulsed high magnetic fields. Finally, this work analyzes the future direction of development in magnetic topological insulators, and the transport phenomena that have not been understood in these systems, offering an insight into and perspectives on the potential breakthroughs to be achieved in this area of research.
