A reproduced combination of ivacaftor and lumacaftor, CFTR protein modulators. Ethical and pharmacokinetic aspects
Authors: Noskov SM , Radaeva KS , Arefeva AN
Published: July 2024

The lack of effective and affordable therapies for rare diseases is an important ethical issue. One example is cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, progressive disease characterized by an impaired function of all exocrine glands. The combination of ivacaftor and lumacaftor (CFTR potentiator and corrector) should lead to a sufficient level of protein on the cell surface and to an increase in its activity, thereby correcting the impaired function. Development of a generic drug containing ivacaftor and lumacaftor as active pharmaceutical substances will increase the availability of this medication and improve patient survival. To study comparative pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of drugs containing ivacaftor and lumacaftor in healthy volunteers. It was conducted as an open-label, randomized, crossover bioequivalence study involving a single intake of the drug during each period under fed condition in healthy male and female volunteers. The conclusion about bioequivalence was made if 90% confidence interval for primary pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC0-t) fell within the accepted bioequivalence limits of 80–125%. According to the results of the study, it was shown that the values of 90% CI of the geometric mean of the main pharmacokinetic parameters for ivacaftor and lumacaftor fall within the acceptance limits for bioequivalence. According to the applied criteria, the drugs are bioequivalent, which makes it possible to recommend the investigational drug to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for obtaining the registration status.

The message of da'wah is what is conveyed in the process of delivering da'wah. In communication, da'wah messages are also called messages, namely symbols. Film as a propaganda medium means a tool used in da'wah activities or an intermediary in delivering da'wah messages. Film is a powerful medium of communication, not only for entertainment, but also for education and information. In fact, Jakob Sumardjo, from the center for film and television education, stated that films act as experiences and values. It is very possible as a means of transmitting stimuli in society as well as to be used as a means of conveying Islamic symbols to the wider community. Because the film as a communication device, is able to absorb the communicant widely. An example of a film as a propaganda medium is the film Jangan Buat Aku Berdosa (Don't Make Me Sin), which is a short film made by the Jurnalis Pejuang of Pena Production (JP3) and directed by Gusti Adi Pranoto. 39 Minutes in duration, consisting of 3 episodes released on January 12, 2018 from screenwriter Fia Handari. The film Jangan Buat Aku Berdosa consists of 3 episodes. Each episode is titled Jangan Buat Aku Berdosa, Memantaskan Diri and Jika Karna-Nya. This film has also won an award as "Best Lampung Film" at the 2017 Lampung Islamic Film Festival. Nadin and Fikri are the main characters in this film. This type of research was descriptive qualitative research. Qualitative descriptive research is a research that seeks to describe a phenomenon or event systematically according to what it is. Qualitative descriptive research is research conducted to examine groups of people, conditions, thoughts or an event in the present which aims to describe what it is about a variable, symptom, or situation.

Analyses for biodiversity monitoring based on passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) recordings is time-consuming and challenged by the presence of background noise in recordings. Existing models worked only on certain avian species and the development of further models required labeled data. The developed framework automatically extracted labeled data from available platforms for selected avian species. The labeled data were embedded into recordings, including environmental sounds and noise, and were used to train Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) models. The models were evaluated on unprocessed real world data recorded in urban KwaZulu-Natal habitats. The Adapted SED-CRNN model reached a F1 score of 0.73, demonstrating its efficiency under noisy, real-world conditions. The proposed approach to automatically extract labeled data for chosen avian species enables an easy adaption of PAM to other species and habitats for future conservation projects.

Published: July 2024

This paper introduces an enhanced Denosing Autoencoder (DAE) model, incorporating a novel attention mechanism, for the segmentation of solar coronal loops. This work is based on DAE framework to address the segmentation challenges posed by intricate structures of coronal loops which also appear with other solar features and image noises. Specifically, we introduce Encoding-Aware Decoding Attention (EADA) to all decoding stages of DAE, which resulted in improvement in coronal loop segmentation. Our models are validated through experiments on a synthetic image dataset of 11,000 images and a test dataset of 165 real coronal images of the NASA"s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite mission. Compared to the state-of-the-art coronal loop segmentation baseline, our attention-enhanced model results in better loop gap-filling and higher segmentation metrics (i.e., 3.6% increase in accuracy, 11.4% better recall and 5.6% higher precision).
Macroeconomic determinants of enterprise births in European countries: The moderating role of human capital in the unemployment structure
Authors: Wosiek Małgorzata
Published: July 2024

Research background: While micro-level studies evidence that unemployment increases the probability of being self-employed, the findings at the macro-scale are ambiguous. At the macroscale, the unemployment push mechanism is further conditioned by cyclical fluctuations and industry-specific characteristics. Most studies, however, have neglected the heterogeneity of the group of unemployed, which could also be behind the disparate results.
Purpose of the article: In filling this gap, the study aims to examine the links between the unemployment rate and enterprise births, while considering the unemployment structure in terms of the human capital of the unemployed and the unemployment duration.
Methods: The issue is examined using the example of 20 European countries in the period 2004–2020. The fixed- and random-effects panel models were applied. The sectoral diversity of entrepreneurial activity (manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing, professional and scientific activities, ICT), and the size class of the newly established enterprises (with/without employees) are also considered.
Findings & value added: The study reveals that the share of long-term unemployment and the skill structure of the unemployed have an impact on new firm formation, which varies with the knowledge intensity of the start-ups and their size. A higher share of highly qualified unemployed increases the start-up rates, particularly in knowledge-intensive services and manufacturing. A higher share of long-term unemployed has a negative impact on enterprise births, specifically in new businesses with employees. The findings are important for designing effective instruments to address unemployment by entrepreneurship within active labour market policy.

The purpose of the work is to develop measures to ensure the development of fisheries, the conservation
of fish resources and the biological diversity of the ichthyofauna of Western Kazakhstan (Mangystau, Atyrau, Aktobe and West Kazakhstan regions), improving the principles and methods of management and protection of fish stocks. The research was carried out both according to the methods generally accepted in the post-Soviet space, and according to the methods developed by the authors (a temporary method of accounting for the number of fish, withdrawal coefficients for populations of fish with undermined stocks) and methods of foresight research. The monitoring system for rare and endangered fish species should include both in-life research methods and the capture of a minimum necessary number of individuals in order to further domesticate and form breeding herds, artificially reproduce and release the resulting juveniles into those reservoirs. The continued decline in populations of rare and endangered fish species indicates the low effectiveness of the measures taken to preserve them. In order to prevent the loss of the gene pool, it is necessary to select sexual products for cryopreservation during the monitoring process. In addition to monitoring the condition of rare species of fish and other animals conducted by scientific organizations, it is necessary to create a geoinformation system for monitoring rare species, which any resident can replenish by sending experts photos of samples of flora or fauna with observation coordinates. The results of the work are supposed to be used to determine further ways of developing reservoirs in the context of “green growth”.

Due to the lack of conditions for industrial sturgeon fishing in the near future, the current artificial reproduction programs play a leading role in replenishing sturgeon populations and commercial sturgeon breeding. It may take a long time to bring the number of individuals and the total biomass of sturgeon fish species in different water basins into proper condition. It is important, along with the implementation of programs for the stocking of young sturgeons of various types of natural habitats, to develop commercial cultivation. Modern aquaculture is the use of environmental control systems, timely feed supply, rapid growth of juveniles with a minimum feed ratio, high survival rate at all stages of growth, greater yield of edible body parts during processing. The dynamics of size and mass indices and the Fulton fatness coefficient in recurrent hybrids of different ages (K × St) are considered × K, (K × St) × St, (St × K) × K and (St × K) × St. It is noted that the fastest growing hybrids turned out to be returnable hybrids based on K × St, and the hybrid (St × K) × St has the highest fatness coefficient with a slight growth rate of weight and length.

Theoretical investigation on synthesis of fused [1,2,3]-triazoloheteroarene via DBU-catalyzed intramolecular azo annulation and 3,4,5-trisubstituted [1,2,4]-triazole via I2‑catalyzed cycloaddition
Authors: Lu Nan , Miao Chengxia
Published: July 2024

The mechanism is investigated for DBU-catalyzed intramolecular azo annulation of N-tosylhydrazone and I2‑catalyzed cycloaddition of phenyl tosyl hydrazone with N-phenylbenzamidine. The former contains rate-limiting α-elimination of tosylate facilitated by DBU affording amphiphilic nitrene and intramolecular, 5-endo-trig cyclization forming [1,2,3]-triazoloheteroarene. This method is also applicable for other nonpyridine heteroarene based on enhanced activity of DBU. The latter is composed of eight steps including activation of hydrazone mediated by I2, nucleophilic addition of amidine, intramolecular electron transfer via two times of proton transfer, intramolecular nucleophilic attack followed by third proton transfer achieving ring closure and final reductive elimination of HI, TsNH2 yielding 3,4,5-trisubstituted [1,2,4]-triazole. The rate-limiting step is intramolecular electron transfer under I2 catalysis. The positive solvation effect is suggested by decreased absolute and activation energies in solution compared with in gas. These results are supported by Multiwfn analysis on FMO composition of specific TSs, and MBO value of vital bonding, breaking.

Especialmente, se han silenciado las vivencias de los grupos marginados por cuestiones políticas y de género, lo que abre un campo de acción para la recuperación de la memoria histórica feminista. En esta línea, los documentales permiten explorar las vidas de las mujeres, con una intención de reparación histórica. El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar la relación entre imagen y memoria en la recuperación de la memoria histórica feminista del documental A las mujeres de España. María Lejárraga (Laura Hojman, 2022). El análisis de los recursos iconográficos empleados en la elaboración del documental, con especial interés en las imágenes de archivo, muestra el afán de la producción por reescribir la memoria histórica con pruebas documentales. El empleo de fotografías, cartas y entrevistas como pruebas de la veracidad del discurso apoya la recuperación de la vida de la escritora María Lejárraga, una de las tantas mujeres que han sido silenciadas por la historia oficial.
puerta a la cultura (femenina) del siglo XX en Gran Canaria.
Authors: Rodríguez Pérez Joana
Published: July 2024

El cine documental ha estado muy vinculado al desarrollo del cine en Canarias desde la llegada de este a las islas.  En las últimas décadas, la presencia cada vez mayor de cineastas mujeres se ha traducido en, entre otros muchos aspectos, el auge de nuevos lenguajes, lecturas y enfoques, así como un aumento del interés por, a través del documental, revalorizar figuras femeninas que han desempeñado roles fundamentales en la historia y la cultura de las Islas Canarias. En este contexto, el presente trabajo se adentra en el cine documental contemporáneo canario a través de la obra de la cineasta grancanaria Macu Machín y su documental Mujeres en la isla, las otras hijas del Mestre. Abordaremos el modo en el que Machín emplea el cine documental como una herramienta poderosa para desafiar estereotipos de género, recuperar la historia femenina y fomentar la inclusión y diversidad en el panorama cinematográfico canario.
Modernidad, democracia y pandemia ante la emergencia de los nuevos autoritarismos
Authors: Orejudo Pedrosa Juan Carlos , Lozano Jiménez Alan Gabriel
Published: July 2024

Modernity and democracy constitute the ethical and political horizon of our time. Apel and Habermas' discourse ethics, Rawls' theory of justice, reflect the effort to sustain our rules based on democratic values. In this paper we will take a critical look at the situation of current democracies, as well as on the impact of the pandemic on the exacerbation of a generalized crisis of democratic systems. When analysing the situation of democracy during the covid-19 pandemic, the rise of authoritarian features has been observed: new mechanisms of violence, new forms of control, social coercion, centralization of political and economic power. The pandemic has shown a crisis in the capitalist system, revealing the null protection capacity of the global democratic system. Taking into account some authors such as Bauman, Hannah Arendt, Donatella di Cesare, Zizek and Byung-Chul Han, we will analyse the crisis of modern democracies and their authoritarian elements, from the impact of the pandemic on democratic government systems. Finally, we will analyse the elements that promote the thesis of authoritarian democracies as inherent forms to global capitalist dynamics.

Authors: Soiński M.S. , Jakubus A.
Published: July 2024

This article presents changes of the total casting production volumes and of the production of castings made from basic casting alloys in Poland, in Europe and worldwide in years 2001–2021. Analogous casting production parameters were compared for Poland, Europe and countries being the leading European and global manufacturers in years 2001, 2011 and 2021. The leading casting manufacturers in Europe (with the manufacturing volume exceeding 1 million tons in the mentioned years) include Germany, Italy, the Ukraine, France and Spain. For years, the largest casting manufacturer worldwide has been China. In 2001–2021, global casting production increased from ca. 68 million tons to ca. 97 million tons (i.e. by ca. 42%), whereas the European one decreased from ca. 17 million tons to ca. 12 million tons (i.e. by close to 30%). In the analyzed period, the Polish production volume grew from ca. 0.75 million tons to ca. 0.88 million tons (i.e. by ca. 17%). The presented data reveal the decreasing importance of gray cast iron and cast steel and the increasing one of ductile cast iron and aluminum alloys. However, the Polish average annual growth rate for aluminum alloy casting production was 10.3%, whereas the global one was 3% and the European one 0.7%.

Authors: Hoxhaj Sueda
Published: July 2024

This article investigates if there are any changes in student motivation and participation in class when using interactive language learning apps to teach English as a foreign language (EFL) at the university level in Tirana, Albania. These applications which provide dynamic and engaging platforms, have become widespread due to the integration of technology in educational settings.

The study collected data through a questionnaire that was distributed to 30 university professors who teach English as a foreign language. The questionnaire consisted of 14 questions, with the last one being an open-ended question designed to gather more detailed answers regarding the professors’ experience with language apps.

The findings indicate that interactive language learning apps help with students’ motivation and encourage active participation, leading to better educational outcomes. Students who work with these apps demonstrate more willingness to participate in classroom activities. The article concludes by offering recommendations for further research in this area.

Published: July 2024

This research examines the multifaceted factors that influence cost management practices in the Indian construction sector, with the objective of improving efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability. The study addresses two central questions: (1) What are the prevailing cost management practices in the Indian construction industry, and (2) Which factors significantly impact these practices? Using a comprehensive literature review and empirical data collected through an online survey, the study uses factor analysis via SPSS 28 to discern the key determinants affecting cost management. The analysis identifies economic conditions, material costs, supply chain disruptions, project delays, poor site management, and lack of skilled labour as critical factors. The findings underscore the need for robust cost management strategies to mitigate financial challenges, reduce project delays, and improve overall project success. This research contributes to a more profound understanding of cost management dynamics in the Indian construction sector and provides practical recommendations to practitioners and policymakers to foster more effective cost control measures, thus ensuring the timely and cost-effective completion of construction projects.
Analysis on the Shape and Pattern Art of the Baby Bibs in the Republic of China Period (1912–1949)
Authors: Zhao Mengmeng
Published: July 2024

Baby bib is a popular clothing accessory during the Republic of China period. This article takes baby bibs in this period as a case to analyze their style and pattern characteristics. Results showed that the baby bib shapes can be classified into three types, including geometric shape, plant shape and animal or children shape. Geometric shaped bibs account for the largest proportion due to their relatively simple craftsmanship. The embroidery patterns of the bibs include plants, animals and human related items, with peony and butterfly being the mostly used patterns. Among the bibs, 48% bibs have peony embroidery and 30% bibs have butterfly embroidery. Tiger patterns are also greatly used because of the implied meaning of tiger being able to drive away evils and protect the children. The study provides a reference for elucidating the artistic and cultural connotations of this folk clothing during the Republic of China.

Above all, this article introduces the development of Embedded Linux GUI, describes the GUI development environment of Qt /Embedded and Qt, one procedure of the app location development based on Qt/Embedded is described in detail. This system adopts the B/S mode and uses the ARM11 development board with S3C6410 as the core. Sensors are used to obtain information, and the obtained data is judged and analyzed. When the preset conditions are not met, an alarm function is triggered. At the same time, data transmission is carried out through the Zigbee wireless module, and the receiving end analyzes and displays the received data. Each device is connected to the Zigbee module, which distinguishes it by assigning different network addresses and constantly transmits the status of the monitoring area to the receiving end. The receiving end distinguishes the monitoring status of different locations based on the different network addresses, increasing mobility.
