Aim. To elucidate legal and ethical dilemmas in the process of providing information to consumers of hormonal contraceptives (HC) at the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine and search for ways to solve them.
Materials and methods. The method of logical and content formulation of the problem, systematic and statistical methods, desk and field methods of marketing research, such as analysis of patient information leaflets for HC, the content analysis of publications in scientific and practically-oriented medical and pharmaceutical publications, the questionnaire survey method, tabular and graphic means of visual presentation of the data obtained were used in the work.
Results. The problem of preserving the reproductive health of women using hormonal agents associated with the possible abortive effect of modern HC has been highlighted. The role of pharmacists in providing consultations when dispensing prescription medicines, in particular HC, has been determined. According to the results of the research, it has been found that there are gaps in the assessment of the quality of information work of pharmacists when dispensing HC from pharmacies. Directions for improving the information support of HC consumers taking into account regulatory and ethical aspects have been proposed. The expediency of expanding the data in patient information leaflets regarding the pharmacodynamics of drugs has been substantiated; it will minimize the psychological consequences of the use of contraceptives under the condition of a non-exclusive abortive effect.
Conclusions. The paper highlights the legal and ethical dilemmas associated with dispensing modern HC without a doctor’s prescription and the possible abortive effect of the study group of drugs. Taking into account the social significance of regulating the information support of HC consumers, as well as legal and ethical norms, there is a need to develop and implement additional instructional and informational materials on the rational purpose and application of HC.

Objectives:

Stroke is a medical emergency, the leading cause of death, and a significant cause of disability in developing countries. The primary goals of stroke management focus on reducing disability, which needs prompt treatment in time. Fever, sugar-hyperglycemia, and swallowing (FeSS) bundle are a promising nurse-led composite for reducing disability and death. The present study aims to assess the effect of FeSS bundle care on disability, functional dependency, and death among acute stroke patients.

Materials and Methods:

A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 104 acute stroke patients, who were admitted within the first 48 h of stroke symptoms and had no previous neurological deficits. Randomization was stratified based on gender and type of stroke. The intervention group received FeSS bundle care, which included nurse-led fever and sugar management for the first 72 h, and a swallowing assessment done within the first 24 h or before the first oral meal. A follow-up assessment was done after 90 days to assess the disability, functional dependency, and mortality status using a modified Rankin scale and Barthel index.

Results:

No significant difference was noted in the 90-day disability and functional dependency between the groups. A reduction in mortality was noted in the intervention group. The risk ratio for mortality between groups was 2.143 (95% confidence interval: 0.953–4.820).

Conclusion:

Although no significant reduction in disability, there was a reduction in mortality in the intervention group. Hence, the study suggested the promotion of nurse-led intervention using the FeSS bundle in stroke units.

Actinobacteria are gram-positive aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria that tend to form branching hyphae capable of developing into mycelium. Their main role is in the decomposition of complex polymers in the soil: lignin, cellulose, chitin, humus substances; fertility formation; production of antibiotic substances; accumulation of biologically active compounds. Actinobacteria secrete into the environment a complex of secondary exometabolites of various compositions with aliphatic, carbocyclic, heterocyclic, nitrogenous, oxygen-containing and sulfur-containing compounds. Most of the isolated secondary metabolites have antibiotic, antimicrobial, antiviral, herbicidal, insecticidal properties. Biotechnological capabilities of soil actinobacteria producing biologically active substances with a wide range of environmental effects are used in the development of multifunctional biologics for various industries. Actinobacteria play a crucial role in optimizing the growing conditions of plants, and therefore there is a natural interest in studying the factors that influence the relationship between actinobacteria and various crops in specific soil conditions. The development of this issue is an important link in the ecological characterization of the soil microbial complex and it will help to develop the theoretical foundations for the targeted regulation of the interactions of actinobacteria with phytopathogenic microorganisms and insect pests. The purpose of this work is to analyze the ecological features and biotechnological capabilities of soil actinobacteria. The review describes the distribution of actinobacteria in various types of soils, including those with the presence of pollutant; the composition of the metabolites produced; relationships with other microorganisms, as well as biotechnological properties and the possibility of using actinobacteria for the development of biological products for agroecosystems.

The purpose of this work was to study the accumulation of heavy and toxic elements in the muscles of the main commercial fish of the Volga River basin. Sampling was carried out throughout the Volga River, in areas that are characterized by varying degrees of industrial development. In the course of the work, tissue samples of the main species of commercial fish were selected (about 300 samples in total). The analysis of the selected material was carried out by a set of methods: induction coupled plasma mass spectrometry, flamу atomic absorption spectroscopy and cold steam atomic absorption. Based on this analysis, the levels of accumulation of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Sr, Cd, Sb, I, Hg, Pb in the muscles of the main species of commercial fish were determined. Graphs of the distribution of the concentration of elements in the muscles of perch depending on the area of fishing are given: the maximum concentration of the sum of toxic elements in the muscles of perch is characteristic of the Rybinsk reservoir and the area of the village of TsaganAman, and the minimum – for the upper Volga and delta. The dependence of accumulation of As, Cd, Hg, Se, I and Br in the muscles of perch on the mass of fish has been assessed. It was found that the concentration of Hg and Se in the muscles of the perch is directly proportional to the weight of the fish.

Studies of the spatial-temporal variability of the field soil moisture content of three experimental fields located in the Perm district of the Perm region were carried out. The experimental conditions were pure fallow. The purpose of the work is to perform a spatio-temporal analysis of soil moisture in experimental fields using mathematical-cartographic and remote sensing methods. Field soil moisture was measured by points placed taking into account the heterogeneity of the soil cover and topography conditions. Based on the measurements performed, maps of field soil moisture were created using the “Ordinary Kriging” geostatistical method, using the Geostatistical Analyst module of the ArcGIS 10.1 program. The assessment of the influence of the relief on the moisture was performed using the SRTM global digital elevation model. Indicators calculated were topographic humidity index and closed depressions. Based on the obtained geostatistical layers, the relationship between humidity and Sentinel 2 satellite data was established through the spectral index NDVI. For the initial and final dates of measurements, correlation coefficients 0.8 and 0.9 were obtained. The nature of dependence turned out to be changeable over time. At the beginning of the growing season, the relationship is inverse, which confirms the indicator role of NDVI in moist areas, but starting from the third decade of May, the relationship becomes positive. This is due to the fact that the treatment of soils is not done every day, and seedlings appear earlier in the areas with the greatest moisture. Therefore, during the growing season, the field moisture content through the NDVI is indirectly identified by the value of the plant biomass. For individual measurement dates, a close correlation was established between NDVI raster maps and field humidity (r = 0.86). The resulting dependence can be used to predict soil moisture in similar areas. The results of the research will be used for differentiated sowing of seeds, taking into account different moisture conditions within the experimental fields.

Published: February 2024

The aim of this work was to assess the potential of three plant species (Brassica juncea L., Trifolium repens L., Agrostis stolonifera L.) for phytoremediation of oil-contaminated soils. The germination time of seeds and their survival rate after sowing into the model oil-contaminated soil were found. The influence of the procedure of encapsulation of seeds in alginate gel was assessed. Green manure plants seeds are preferably added after 30 days of self-cleaning of the soil due to the absence of a continuous oil film and restoration of air exchange. Brassica juncea L. was found to have the shortest germination time, at the same time the encapsulation of seeds in a polymeric complex increased the time for the development of vegetative organs. The encapsulation of T. repens L. and A. stolonifera L. seeds in alginate gels, on the contrary, reduced the germination time. A. stolonifera was also found to be more drought-resistant. It was concluded that the use of an auxiliary gel coat is most effective for small plant seeds and increases the survival rate on oil-contaminated soil. The contribution of the green manure plants root rhizosphere to the processes of biochemical transformation of oil was assessed by comparing such diagnostic indicators of the state of the soil as the activity of dehydrogenase and urease. The dehydrogenase activity in all versions of the experiment was higher than in the oil-free soil. Moreover, for T. repens and A. stolonifera the values were 20–25% higher than in the contaminated soil without plants. The urease activity also increased, however, in the experiments with plants it was less than in the control experiment with the oil. In general, the selected plants can act as green manures for the accelerated formation of phytomass and restoration of species diversity on the recultivation territories.

The creation of a network of autonomous stations for bioindication of water bodies state requires the development of methods for analyzing large data arrays. The combination of machine learning methods with traditional statistical methods is used to identify implicit patterns in the dataset for the effect of heavy metals on natural phytoplankton. The array of experimental data consists of 465 fluorescence induction curves measured on phytoplankton samples from 9 water bodies of the Pskov region, and reflecting the dynamics of electron transfer in the photosynthetic apparatus. Each curve is characterized by 14 JIP-test parameters, some of which directly describe the shape of the curve; the others connect the shape of the curve with the energy flows that occur in the photosynthetic apparatus under illumination. Cluster analysis based on a set of JIP-test parameters was used to distinguish photosynthetic activity first among phytoplankton samples in control and then under long-term exposure to cadmium and chromium salts. In the control samples, two groups were identified that differ in the photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton. It is assumed that the lower photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton samples is associated with anthropogenic pressure on the water bodies. It was shown that the samples with initially low photosynthetic activity responded to the toxic effect of heavy metals at later periods of incubation compared to more active samples. The proposed approach can be easily scaled to analyze large arrays of experimental data that makes it a promising tool for the early detection of toxic pollution of natural waters.
Graph Neural Networks for Identifying Protein-Reactive Compounds
Authors: Cano Gil Victor Hugo , Rowley Christopher
Published: February 2024

The identification of protein-reactive electrophilic compounds is critical to the design of new covalent modifier drugs, screening for toxic compounds, and the exclusion of reactive compounds from high throughput screening. In this work, we employ traditional and graph machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify molecules being reactive towards proteins or nonreactive. For training data, we built a new dataset, ProteinReactiveDB, composed primarily of covalent and noncovalent inhibitors from the DrugBank, BindingDB, and CovalentInDB databases. To assess the transferability of the trained models, we created a custom set of covalent and noncovalent inhibitors, which was constructed from the recent literature. Baseline models were developed using Morgan fingerprints as training inputs, but they performed poorly when applied to compounds outside the training set. We then trained various Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), with the best GNN model achieving an Area Under the Receiver Operator Characteristic (AUROC) curve of 0.80, precision of 0.89, and recall of 0.72. We also explore the interpretability of these GNNs using Gradient Activation Mapping (GradCAM), which shows regions of the molecules GNNs deem most relevant when making a prediction. These maps indicated that our trained models can identify electrophilic functional groups in a molecule and classify molecules as protein-reactive based on their presence. We demonstrate the use of these models by comparing their performance against common chemical filters, identifying covalent modifiers in the ChEMBL database and generating a putative covalent inhibitor based on an established noncovalent inhibitor.

Published: February 2024

Stimulated by the increasing interest in ion adsorption effects on electrocatalytic reactions and by recent more detailed reports on the potential dependent adlayer structures formed on Ru(0001) in pure HClO4 and H2SO4 electrolytes, we revisited the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on structurally well-defined Ru(0001) single crystal surfaces prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. We demonstrate that the complex, potential-dependent activity both for the ORR and for H2O2 formation is closely related to potential-dependent changes in the composition and structure of the adlayer. Our results demonstrate the enormous effects adsorbed species can have on the ORR reaction characteristics, either by surface blocking, e.g., by (co-)adsorbed bisulfate species, or by participation in the reaction, e.g., by *H transfer from adsorbed H or OH to O2. The comparison with results obtained on polycrystalline Ru, which differ significantly from Ru(0001) data, furthermore underlines the importance of using structurally well-defined surfaces as a reference system for future theoretical studies.

Today, the importance of the tourism industry, which is considered an investment in countries, is not hidden from anyone. This capital is measured based on the general health of that area and will be considered as the basis for tourists’ decision-making for the destination as a tourism goal. Among these, psychological events are also significant. Compliance with the points mentioned in tourism is mandatory for a society. Time and its management are among the most important things that play a major role in increasing or decreasing stress. People have different solutions for their decisions according to different conditions. In today’s artificial intelligence world, it is felt everywhere that humans have entrusted many activities to it, but we must know what the consequences are. The spatial information system has put time and space together in one axis. Transtemporal issues and events that are formed around the axis of time, such as time management, are one of the basic challenges of today’s humanity, and on the other hand, spatial issues are considered an integral part of human life. Therefore, real-time GIS is increasingly associated with innovation. The continuation of this research can be related to all industrial and money-making sectors of a region. which shows the importance of this industry in the continuation of urban development. In this research, the maps of a region have been examined as a case to show the importance of people’s choice and their participation. In this study, NPGIS is introduced in a general way that enhances space-time-location interaction. In the results of the research, time and its related criteria show their key role and show the intermingling of spatial sciences with tourism.

Authors: Salim Anan Haidar
Published: February 2024

The recent agglutinated small benthic foraminiferal species Clavulina pseudoparisensis Anan are common in the five coastal areas around the Arabian Peninsula: the Egyptian Red Sea coast between Qusseir-Marsa Alam, the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast in Jeddah, the north Socotra Island of Yemen, the Abu Dhabi coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the east coast of Qatar of the Arabian Gulf. The taxonomy is presented and discussed. The warmer environment of the Red Sea, and also the other studied areas, favor precipitation of organic binding material for the sand grains of the arenaceous tests, which favor the forms thriving in shallow and warm environment. The recorded C. pseudoparisensis in wide geographic distribution in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Arabian Gulf around the Arabian Peninsula indicates an open marine environment between these localities.

Published: February 2024

Despite significant advancements achieved in the last two decades in reducing the worldwide impact of malaria, the disease still poses a substantial public health challenge. Moreover, there exists a growing apprehension that climate change could potentially broaden the regions conducive to disease transmission. This research focuses on investigating the impact of climate variability on malaria incidence in the Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area (LGA) of Gombe State, Nigeria, from 2013 to 2022. Precipitation and temperature records were sourced from the Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority’s Dadin-Kowa Meteorological station, while confirmed uncomplicated malaria cases were obtained from the Gombe State Primary Healthcare Development Agency.The study entails an examination of the relationship between climate variability and malaria incidence in the study area. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was employed for this purpose. Furthermore, time series analysis was conducted to assess trends in rainfall, temperature, and malaria cases. The findings revealed an increasing trend in both rainfall and malaria cases, while maximum and minimum temperatures displayed negligible decreases over the specified period. Notably, correlation analysis unveiled a positive relationship between rainfall and malaria, with an r value of 0.319. Conversely, maximum and minimum temperatures exhibited a strong negative correlation, with r values of -0.152 and -0.534, respectively. Seasonal analysis highlighted a greater prevalence of malaria cases during the late rainy season, specifically in the months of July and October. October emerged as the month with the highest recorded malaria cases, totaling 44,351 cases, while May exhibited the lowest number of cases at 15,488. Given these findings, it is recommended to prioritize vector control initiatives and raise public awareness regarding the effective implementation of intervention measures, such as indoor residual sprays. These efforts are especially crucial during peak periods characterized by favorable weather conditions to mitigate malaria outbreaks effectively.

Authors: Kumar Manoj , Harish K. V.
Published: February 2024

In this study, fly ash is used as a replacement for cement in mortar to find its impact on durability indicators and the environment regarding greenhouse gas (GHG} emissions. This study focuses on GHG emissions from the construction materials, strength, and capillary transport of water which is a function of the w/cm ratio, pore size distribution, and curing period. The capillary sorption process showed a very complex time-dependent relationship. The sorptivity and absorption of mortar were found at different w/cm ratios and fly ash replacement. Fly ash replacement showed a negative impact on compressive strength as well as on water absorption due to its similar particle size compared to cement. The secondary absorption rate was lower than ~59 % to 88% compared to the initial absorption rate for all the mixtures. 35 % replacement of cement with fly ash resulted in a

~27% reduction of GHG emissions compared to control mortar mixtures.

Published: February 2024

The determination of captopril (CAP) using a new continuous flow injection analysis (CFIA) method was given in this work CAP in its pure state and some of its pharmaceutical preparations. The technique can be described as simple, fast, sensitive, easy to operate, and low-cost. The CAP reacted with ammonium ceric(IV) sulfate (ACS)2(NH4 )2SO4Ce(SO4)2. 3 H2O in an acidic medium and the reaction led to the formation of a white, slightly yellowish precipitate. The formed precipitate was studied using Ayah 6S×1-ST-2D Solar cell-CFI Analyzer, a through the reflection of accident light on the surfaces of the precipitate particles at (0-1800), expressed as the response of the transducer measured in (mV). Some chemical and physical parameters were studied to provide the optimal conditions for the study. The calibration curve within the range of (0.07-3.0) mmol/L was linear, with a correlation coefficient (r) value equal to (0.9983), and the percentage value of linearity (R2%) was (99.65). The method's detection limit (L.O.D.) of the new method was 272.5 ng/25 µL; it was calculated by diluting the minimum concentration in the calibration curve gradually. RSD% was less than 0.2% for 0.9, 1.5, and 3.0 mmol/L concentrations of C.A.P. for n=8. The method was successfully applied to estimate C.A.P. in three pharmaceutical preparations, each produced by a different company. The new method was compared with the UV-Spectrophotometric method (classical method) at λmax= 207.2 nm by using the method of standard additions. Both the t-test and the F-test were conducted to ensure that there wasn't a significant difference between the new method and the conventional one. The results of both tests showed, at a confidence level of 95%, that there was no significant difference.

Published: February 2024

This research paper presents the design of an active current mode device named Z-copy- Current Differencing Transconductance Amplifier (ZC-CDTA) in conjunction with FinFET (Fin Field-Effect Transistor) transistors. An input bias current can be used to adjust its parasitic resistances at its two current input ports. It is ideal for use in current-mode signal processing, which is steadily more common than voltage-style signal processing, because it operates in current mode on all terminals. The suggested component was implemented using Finfet technology, and its performances were assessed using simulations using cadence tools and linear technology SPICE. They demonstrate the new active element's usage, with a maximum bandwidth of 300MHz. The highest power consumption is 1.01 mW, and the supply voltages can be as low as ±0.1 V. The low-power consumption and wide current range tuning of the suggested Zc-CDTA are achieved.

This paper proposes a plan to improve the reception radio environment of the mobile terminal and maintain a constant reception electric field by using small cells in a small closed environment. In order to configure an efficient communication infrastructure for small cells, both ends of wireless transmission and reception of an Ethernet-based wireless video recording system are connected using an L2 switch. The small cell connected to the receiving side L2 switch shares the wireless network section of the wireless video recording system and connects to the transmitting side L2 switch. After that, when it is normally linked to FMS, a management system for small cells, through the Internet network, the output of small cells is checked. In order to verify the results, a proposed network is formed on the elevator inside the building with a poor radio wave environment, and the radio wave environment is measured before and after the small cell application in the section where the elevator operates. As a result, the main parameters of the radio wave environment in all sections of the elevator are improved, as well as a constant receiving electric field strength within the moving elevator.

Також на початку контрнаступу України РФ заповнює інформаційний простір фейками щодо великої кількості знищеної західної техніки та великими втратами особового складу сил оборони України. Відмічається інформаційна (психологічна) операція РФ у Франції, спрямована на зменшення підтримки України Заходом. Проаналізовано використання російською пропагандою загальних принципів воєнної пропаганди під час широкомасштабної збройної агресії проти України. Наведені статистичні дані здійснення ударів різними засобами повітряного нападу РФ по інфраструктурних, військових та цивільних об’єктах України. Наведено інформацію щодо чисельності та характеристики особового складу приватна військова кампанія (ПВК) “Вагнер”, яка брала участь в агресії РФ проти України. Проаналізована інформаційна компанія РФ проти лідерів громадської думки, які висловлювали сумніви щодо правильних дій військово-політичного керівництва РФ. Продовжується агресивна пропаганда серед російського населення, зокрема демонстрація військового протистояння з країнами-членами НАТО. Для західної аудиторії визначені нові наративи, які мають дискредитувати Україну у світовому інформаційному просторі, та створюється відповідна телепродукція.
