ETHICS GAP IN ADOLESCENTS’ ONLINE COMMUNICATION
Authors: Khusnutdinova Margarita , Poskakalova Tatiana
Published: November 2023

The results of contemporary Internet communication studies often
conclude that the Internet environment contributes to formation of such
attitudes and behavioral patterns as aggressive behavior, verbal abuse, fraud,
trolling, bullying and etc. To describe this phenomenon C. James uses the
term “the Ethics gap” and refers the loss of sensitivity to the moral and ethical
aspects of behavior to it. The aim is to identify to what extent adolescents
rely on e-communication and what its content is. From March to June, ,
an empirical study on the specifi cs of digital socialization of adolescents was
conducted on the basis of MSUPE. The study focused on the aspects of online
communication among adolescents and included  participants at the
age from  to  years. Besides the questionnaire aimed at fi guring out the
goals, preferences, potential threats and consequences of adolescents’ online
communication and self-disclosure the study included The Problematic
Social Networks Use Scale (Sirota N.A, et al, ). Due to the scale results
two groups were determined and compared: and  teenagers with low
and high levels of problematic use, accordingly. The study fi xed that girls
as well as teenagers from one-parent or troubled families are more likely to
use social media problematically. The data demonstrate that the majority of
adolescents comply with ethical norms of behavior while using social networks.
However, violations of moral principles are more common among adolescents
with a high level of problematic social media use. They practice obscene
language and offensive jokes twice as actively. They are more likely to
become victims to online derogatory actions and abuse. More than a half of
them experience negative emotions (anger, irritation, pain and annoyance)
when they are criticized. At the same time, a third of them listen to the opinions
of others and try to work at themselves.
VIRTUAL IDENTITY STATUS IN ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENTAL: A PSYCHOMETRIC MODEL
Authors: Klementyeva Marina
Published: November 2023

Relevance. The digital technology-mediated self-simulation
refers to the virtual identity but the basis of this psychological mechanism
remains unknown. Scientists study the impact of digital experiences on virtual
identity, yet no study has been conducted to capture the statuses as a
complex entity in adolescence. We have researched virtual identity statuses
relying on E. Erikson’s conceptualizations of the adolescent developmental
task of identity development which was operationalized by J. Marcia into
four identity statuses (identity achieved, moratorium, foreclosure, diffusion),
and on D. Matteson’s modeling of these variables into  quadrants formed by
-axis integration of exploration and commitment. Purpose of the study. The
current study explores virtual identity statuses of development in digital environments
in adolescence, with the aim of introducing a psychometric model
of virtual identity. Research Methods and Sampling. This study applied an
original Virtual Identity Status Inventory (VISI) designed by us to  Russian
adolescences aged  to . Main results. Exploratory factorial analysis
(principal component analysis and alpha factor analysis) and confi rmatory
factor analysis (χ/df=.; ρ=.; RMSEA=.; CFI=.) pointed out
that the VISI presented a three-factor structure. These factors are: virtual
identity achieved, virtual identity foreclosure and virtual identity diffusion.
The measure has the internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=.) and stability
in time (ρ=.). Age associated with the virtual identity status in such a
way that the late adolescences reported higher levels of foreclosure-propensity
ratings (ρ=.) and diffusion-propensity ratings (ρ=.). Therefore,
late adolescents are less independent and less sure in virtual self-identity
than the middle adolescents. In conclusion, the VISI is a valid and reliable
instrument of investigation of the virtual identity phenomenon in adolescent
development.
FACETS OF DIGITAL SOCIALIZATION
Authors: Kochetkova Tatiana
Published: November 2023

The life of a modern person has ceased to exist in isolation from
the Internet but its use by children and adults differs in content. Modern
technologies, actively implemented in networks, provide a lot of opportunities
for self-education, fi nding new friends, expanding the circle of interests,
creating the illusion of saving time to visit real shops, clinics, educational
institutions, etc., while simultaneously forming dependence on gadgets, the
appearance of fullness of one’s own life with “signifi cant” events. The purpose
of the study is to assess the impact of the network on socio-psychological
adaptation of the individual. Adults are much more likely to spend network
time on work, especially when work is carried out remotely. Often, infants,
not yet having walking skills, deftly cope with a smartphone, demonstrating
the pleasure they experience to others. Meanwhile, their parents forget about
the need to control the time spent by the child on the network. They often
do not think about the content that the child is absorbed in, rejoicing at the
opportunity to relax. This sort of behaviour is fraught with huge problems in
the future, caused by disturbed child-parent relations, the result of which is
the socio-psychological maladaptation of the individual. The most frequent
requests of parents who applied for psychological counseling consisted of
complaints about the child’s inability to communicate in the family and with
peers, their aggressive behavior, weak self-control of emotions and behavior,
unwillingness to learn, lack of time perspective, autoaggression. The analysis
of family relations, the sequence of parenting styles, the time spent by parents
to help the child, as well as the identifi cation of the main chronophages
for family members, led to the conclusion that the socio-psychological adaptation
of the child is provided by consistent styles of parenting, the presence
of family traditions and a common hobby, a favorable psychological climate
in the family. Digital technologies have become an obligatory part of our life
but they cannot replace the family, which determines the varying degree of
socialization of both a developing personality and an adult, leading to an
unfavorable outcome to alienation, self-destructive behavior, mental, and
psychological health disorders.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND SELF IN STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES
Authors: Singh Purnima , Sohi Khushbeen Kaur
Published: November 2023

Education is recognized as the most important route to social mobility.
Quality education is associated with promises of occupational success
and economic prosperity and a better life. It is this hope for a better future
that guides innumerable parents from lower social class backgrounds in India
to try and secure a place for their children in private schools- institutions
that hold the promise of good quality. This study (consisting of two parts)
was designed to explore the impact of social structure on the experience of
exclusion at school, self-esteem, academic effi cacy, and engagement of students
using self-report measures. For the purpose of the study, the social
structural variables of class and caste (caste is an integral component of Indian
society’s social structure) were examined. For the study with social class,
the sample included EWS students (n=) and non-EWS students (n=).
For the study with caste, the sample included students from the reserved category
(including students from scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and other
backward classes; n=) and general category students (n=). School
exclusion and self-esteem emerged as signifi cant processes that mediate the
relation between social structural variables of class and caste and student
outcomes. The study has implications for creating more inclusive classrooms.
OPERATING WITH THE RELATIONS OF OPPOSITES BY - YEAR-OLD CHILDREN: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
Authors: Veraksa Nikolay , Airapetyan Zlata
Published: November 2023

The preschoolers’ ability to operate with relations of opposites is
associated with creative abilities, understanding the conservation processes
as well as with confl ict resolution. This study was carried out in line with
the structural-dialectical approach, in which operating with the relations of
opposites is a key aspect for performing dialectical mental actions. The development
of formal-logical operations in children was also monitored. It was
assumed that operating with the relations of opposites by children could be
associated with such actions as seriation and mediation. Seriation, according
to Piaget, is the primary reality that allows one to think in terms of relationships.
Earlier studies showed that children are able to overcome opposite relationships
and perform an act of mediation. In total  children aged -, -
and - years participated in the study of dialectical actions. Techniques included
“Drawing an unusual tree”, “What can be both at the same time?”, and
“Cycles”. While  children took part in the formal-logical thinking study in
which J. Piaget’s tests “Probability”, “Scales”, and “ Mechanical curve” were
used. Preschool age is sensitive to the development of the operation with the
opposites via formal and dialectical mental actions (such as transformation,
seriation, mediation). The ability to perform mediation (i.e., to fi nd a single
object that has two opposites present) is formed already at the age of - and
is closely related to overcoming opposites based on the developmental processes
understanding at the age of -. A positive correlation was discovered
between children’s understanding of formal multiplicative spatial relations
(the ability to coordinate two differently directed movements to create a single
image) and operating with the relations of opposites via mediation.
MEMORY IN THE MIRROR OF A FAIRY TALE
Authors: Balashova Elena
Published: November 2023

Memory has long been an integral part of culture. Long before
the emergence of psychology as a science, different forms of memory appeared
in legends and fairy tales. We can recall Wilhelm Gauf’s fairy tale
“The Caliph-stork”. Caliph forgets the magic word “mutabor” and therefore
cannot turn back from a bird into a man. Interestingly, the mechanism of
forgetting is described: Caliph, who turned into a stork on his own free will,
is distracted and laughs. Apparently, this is one of the fi rst cases of the description
of the inhibition of memory traces by interference. The scientifi c
characteristic of this mechanism of forgetting appeared only in . We also
fi nd a case of bad memory in the Strugatsky brothers’ fairy tale “Monday
begins on Saturday”: the talking cat Vasily cannot remember a single fairy
tale to the end. In the future kittens with “genetic sclerotic memory” appear
in his family. Memory can help out of trouble. In the fairy tale “In the Land
of Unlearned Lessons” (), the cute lazy and sloppy Viktor Perestukin and
his cat Kuzya fi nd themselves in a magical land. There they meet with various
situations of the educational process in which the boy failed. This fairy tale
was published long before Russian neuropsychologists began to study diffi -
culties in the development of memory in younger schoolchildren. Another
example of help from memory we fi nd in the fairy tale “Tom Thumb”: a smart
kid throws small pebbles on the road to save his brothers from the forest. This
is an example of the effectiveness of memorization using special means. In
conclusion, it should be said that the images of memory in fairy tales solve
the important task of fi nding a new, unusual, humorous view of memory, its
functions and capabilities.
FUNDAMENTALS OF CORRECTIONAL WORK WITH SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN WITH MENTAL
DISABILITIES
Authors: Burlakova Sofia
Published: November 2023

The scientifi c work describes the main theoretical provisions that
were used in the study and provision of psychological and pedagogical assistance
to children with intellectual disabilities. The main stages of building
effective interaction with children with intellectual disabilities in the process
of learning and development are highlighted. The continuous care of children
with special developmental needs plays the most important role in the
system of special education. The relevance of the chosen topic consists in that
nowadays it is necessary to organize special conditions of socio-pedagogical
support for children of school age. This will provide optimal conditions for
training and education of children with disabilities in school educational institutions.
Corrective work with children with disabilities should be carried
out on the basis of diagnostics of the child’s condition, as well as the adopted
individual program of their development. The corrective orientation of the
educational process consists in the pedagogical impact of special methods
and techniques that stimulate compensatory processes in cognitive development
of the child. Diagnostics of children with intellectual disabilities is
connected with considerable diffi culties and is caused by individual-personal
features. The purpose of the work is to explore the possibilities of psychological-
corrective work with school-age children who have psychological problems.
The theoretical chapter of the work examines the state of the problem
under study in defectology, speech therapy, psychology and medicine. The
research methods include observation, comparison, experiment, and interview.
In conclusion, it is worth noting the need for remedial work with
children who have mental disorders. They need a special individual program
that will promote the development of the child, create conditions for the realization
of their inner potential, help to overcome and compensate for obstacles
to development.
DIGITAL DAILY LIFE OF GLAMOUR AND RISKS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN’S
SELF-AWARENESS
Authors: Burlakova Natalya
Published: November 2023

Cultural-historical clinical psychology understands a disorder in
the development of personality as a product of culture. Namely, the disorder
represents self-awareness, which incorporates images and confl icts already
existing in the culture and interiorized by children. In this framework, this
paper discusses glamor trends in children’s subculture, particularly among
children aged between six and eight, and their infl uence on children’s behaviors
and interests. In the Russian society, glamor subculture became popular
in the late s and remains widespread nowadays. The paper analyses textual
and visual contents of musical clips aimed at children of the above-mentioned
age group and performed by children of approximately the same age.
A special emphasis was made on popular songs with millions of views, which
are easily available online (e.g., on YouTube). These provide material for
reconstruction of values promoted among children by the popular culture.
Many of these values are a part and parcel of glamor subculture.
Moreover, the paper discusses reception of these values among children.
The original method developed by Natalia Burlakova and Viktoria Uvarkina
“Choose the Photo You Like Most” aids to investigate personal identifi cations
of children and the degree of internalization of promoted values. The method
includes choosing a preferred photo and discussing it with the psychologist.
The results of the test are supplemented with the complaints voiced by
parents during psychological consultations. The analyzed materials demonstrate
the active presence of glamor in children’s popular culture. The glamor
values are internalized by children to a signifi cant degree and are often refl
ected in children’s behaviors (e.g., value of being cool, interest in the luxury
brands, scrupulous process of choosing clothes). Embracement of this trend
produces specifi c risks for children’s self-awareness. These include inattentiveness
to authentic inner experience and self-expression, concentration on
external appearance, attributes of social status and neglect to other values.
CHILDREN’S ADDICTION ON THE DIGITAL WORLD: REASONS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

% of children and young people all over the world are offi cially
diagnosed with addiction. To identify the reasons of the children’s gadgets
addiction this research was conducted as a part of the educational activities
of the Family, Women, and Children Affairs Committee and the Committee
on Education and Science of the public organization “The sovereign course”
with participation of teachers and psychologists: Frolova O.S., Fakhrieva
O.N., Konoshenko K.N. The research surveys and interviews were conducted
with  groups: students of a general education school aged from  to 
and their families (parents, siblings and immediate family members). In a
secondary school, an observation was made among th and th graders for
 months in order to identify adolescents’ dependence on phones. Based on
the results of all types of research, the problem of addiction to gadgets and
its reasons were identifi ed, and steps to overcome this addiction were developed.
Parents’ awareness of the illusory perception of the reasons for children’s
gadget addiction and the ways how to solve this problem. The necessity
to show to a child a cause-and-effect relationship of the gadget addiction
and the idea that it is their growth point which is important to let them live
a real life. The lack of quality relationships in families has led to teenagers’
smartphone addiction. () If a family realizes their goals, traditions and there
are healthy relationships between parents and good quality time together,
children do not go into gadgets. () Children’s gadget addiction is formed
by parents focusing on their career, not giving necessary attention to their
children. In order to treat their children’s addiction to gadgets parents should
() support the interests of the kids, help them fi nd answers to any questions,

Discrete Bat Optimizer for Disassembly Line Balancing Problem
Authors: Wang Jiacun , Guo XiWang , Qin Shujin , Zhang Qi , Huang Fuguang
Published: November 2023

The recycling of end-of-life (EOL) products is the primary link in the remanufacturing process. EOL products rely on disassembly lines to retain valuable parts for remanufacturing. In this work, a disassembly line balancing model is established based on an AND/OR graph. It takes precedence relation, cycle time restriction, failure risk, and time uncertainty into consideration and aims to maximize the dismantling proﬁt and minimize the energy consumption. Then, a multi-objective discrete bat optimizer based on Pareto rules is designed according to the problem model, and a precedence preserving crossover operator, a single point mutation operator and a 2-optimization operator are used to simulate the ﬂight strategy of bats to satisfy the search of feasible solutions. To speed up the convergence, we propose an elite strategy to maintain the non-dominate solutions in the external ﬁles. By decomposing products of different sizes and analyzing the experimental results, the proposed algorithm is evaluated with the existing multi-objective discrete gray wolf optimizer, artiﬁcial bee colony optimizer, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II, and multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in solving this problem is veriﬁed.

Published: November 2023

Sebaceous glands are not only producing lipids to contribute to the lipid barrier but are important in maintaining the homeostasis of the skin as well, which is greatly related to their immune competence. Our aim with this review is to present key studies on their possible involvement in inflammation and their crosstalk with various cell types of the immune system that altogether led to the introduction of “sebaceous-immunobiology” as a novel field in dermatology. With a focus on diseases considered to be related to sebaceous glands, such as acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen planopilaris, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, we also aim to put forward that sebaceous glands are not only innocent bystanders but active contributors in disease development.

Developing a Pipeline of African Global Surgery Scholars
Authors: Francis P , Chu K , Isiagi M , Fieggen G , Gordon C , Maswime S
Published: November 2023

Global surgery is developing as new discipline in many countries. Global surgery primarily aims to improve access to quality surgery in low-and-middle Income countries (LMICs). Thus, ensuring appropriate LMIC representation and leadership in global surgery research, projects, and innovations, is essential. There is a paucity of pathways for students and young clinicians in LMICs to attain training in and exposure to global surgery research and projects. If equity in global surgery leadership and scholarship is truly desired, steps need to be taken to ensure that more students and young clinicians in LMICs are exposed to global surgery as an academic discipline and are offered pathways to practice and leadership. This paper explores ways of ensuring this through increased exposure, increased training and increased funding.
Evaluation of a Method to Estimate Foot Eversion Moments During the Support Phase of Running
Authors: Tsujimoto Norio
Published: November 2023

Background: Excessive external eversion moments acting on the ankle derived from the ground reaction force (GRF) during the support phase of running are considered a risk factor for overuse lower-limb injuries. The external eversion moment is considered to be dominated by the moment derived from the vertical GRF. However, no studies have directly evaluated the accuracy with which external eversion moment can be estimated with this information. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the extent to which external eversion moment can be estimated from external eversion moment derived from vertical GRF.

Methods: From three-dimensional foot coordinates and GRF data of 28 healthy participants, we computed external eversion moment (EMrun), center of the ankle coordinates (ANKrun), center of pressure coordinates (COPrun), and vertical GRF (VGRFrun) during the support phase of running. Moreover, we computed center of the ankle joint coordinates (ANKstand) and vertical GRF (VGRFstand) in the resting standing position.

Results: A highly significant correlation was observed between EMrun and external eversion moment derived from vertical GRF ([COPrun – ANKrun] × VGRFrun), with a contribution of 84.7%. Moreover, a highly significant correlation was observed between EMrun and (COPrun – ANKstand) × VGRFstand, with a contribution of 81.5%.

Conclusions: These results indicate that external eversion moment can be estimated from the external eversion moment derived from vertical GRF with high accuracy. Moreover, it was found that the accuracy did not decrease even if the data of center of ankle and vertical GRF were replaced with the data during standing.
Comparison of Supination-Adduction Type 2 and Supination–External Rotation Type 4 in Bimalleolar Ankle Fractures: Does Partial Pylon Variant of Supination-Adduction Type Fracture Affect Functional Outcomes?
Authors: Yüce Ali , Bayraktar Tahsin Olgun , Yerli Mustafa , Karslıoğlu Bülent , Dedeoğlu Süleyman Semih , İmren Yunus , Kır Mustafa Çağlar , Gürbüz Hakan
Published: November 2023

Background: Supination-adduction (SAD) type injuries are pylon variant injuries and lie between partial intra-articular pylon fractures and rotational ankle fractures. We aimed to evaluate functional outcomes of SAD type 2 bimalleolar fractures in comparison to supination–external rotation (SER) type 4 fractures.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of 42 cases with SER type 4 and 20 cases with SAD type 2 injuries. Patients with a history of rheumatic disease, open fractures, pathologic fractures, nonbimalleolar fractures, neuropathic disease, and talus osteochondral lesion, and those operated on after greater than 72 hours because of skin lesion or managed with a two-stage surgical protocol after external fixation, were not included in the study. We compared these two groups in terms of the mean age, follow-up time, visual analog scale pain and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society scores, Kellgren-Lawrence arthrosis classification, union time, and complications.

Results: The groups did not differ in terms of mean age (P = .115) and sex (P = .573). There was no significant difference in terms of union time between the groups (P = .686). American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society score was significantly higher in the SER group (91.2 ± 9.9) than in the SAD group (86.1 ± 13.2; P = .034). Visual analog scale pain scores were similar in the SAD (0.3 ± 0.92) and the SER (0.26 ± 0.7) groups (P = .897).

Conclusions: Supination-adduction bimalleolar fractures may have worse functional outcomes in the intermediate term than do SER bimalleolar fractures, implying pylon variant fractures as a mechanism of injury. Supination-adduction bimalleolar fractures might be associated with a high rate of intra-articular cartilage impaction, resulting in varus deformity after surgery.
Risk Management and Mitigating Risk Opportunities for Opioid Prescribing
Authors: Smith Robert G.
Published: November 2023

All clinicians are ethically obliged to prescribe responsibly and cautiously to diminish the potential for opioid diversion and to help minimize the growth of the current opioid abuse epidemic. Podiatric physicians should establish procedures to better control and limit opioid prescription and develop analgesic regimens to treat pain. The main purpose and goal of this review is to present data congruent with clinical, medical, and legal reports for allowing an appreciation of the possibility of the risk assumed when ordering and prescribing opioids within the podiatric medical profession. First, the concept and process of risk management, illustrated using a root cause analysis approach, is introduced, and application of these principles specifically to opioid prescribing is presented. Then, several examples found in both the medical and legal literature documenting the reasons for opioid prescription risk are presented. Finally, mitigating strategies for safe opioid prescribing are offered so that mitigation of opioid harm can be possible and realized by the lower-extremity specialist. Risk management strategies and tools to mitigate opioid harm, lessen opioid adverse effects, and reduce opioid deaths are presented narratively and graphically.

Authors: Yüce Ali , Yerli Mustafa , Imren Yunus , Dedeoglu Suleyman Semih , Cabuk Haluk , Gurbuz Hakan
Published: November 2023

Background: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of the position of the plate and syndesmotic screw on postoperative tibiofibular joint malreductions in cases where the syndesmotic screw is inserted through the hole of the anatomically locked lateral distal fibula plate.

Methods: Thirty patients (13 female and 17 male patients) with postoperative computed tomographic scans were examined retrospectively. Patient information (eg, tibiofibular congruence measured from postoperative computed tomographic scans, the anterior and posterior tibiofibular distance at axial sections, the presence and orientation of fibular rotation, the presence of tibiofibular intraarticular piece, the angle between the syndesmotic screw and incisural line, the placement of the plate, and the localization of the screw on the fibula in axial images) was recorded.

Results: Those with fibular internal rotation had a lower syndesmotic screw–incisural line angle (SIA) (P = .001).There was a very strong negative significant correlation between the tibiofibular angle and SIA (rho, −0.780; P = .001). The median tibiofibular angle was found to be higher in cases with the fibula plate placed anteriorly (P = .009).The median SIA was found to be lower in cases with the fibula plate placed anteriorly (P = .004).The rate of placement of syndesmotic screw in the anterior third of the fibula was found to be high in cases with the fibula plate placed anteriorly (P = .049).

Conclusions: In ankle fractures treated with insertion of a syndesmotic screw through the plate, the orientation of the syndesmotic screw in the axial plane and the position of the plate may be associated with the incidence of postoperative syndesmosis malreduction.

The development and expansion of warm autopsy program have important implications in dissecting the heterogeneity during cancer dissemination and resistance. However, in China, the practice of warm autopsy has not yet been officially launched and documented.To explore and establish the procedures and standards for warm autopsy in China, we followed the disease course of a male patient with terminal metastatic prostate cancer. We assembled a multidisciplinary team to perform warm autopsy immediately after death. Through longitudinal sampling from biopsy and autopsy, we performed integrative and comprehensive genomic and epigenomic analysis using multi-omics approaches.We traced the dynamic evolution and heterogeneity of this prostate tumor, and identified many critical driver events in both the original tumor and its disseminations. Truncated
CDKN1B
may result in downregulation of expression, which represent a key driver event in the metastatic progression of prostate cancer. We also delineated the congruence of genetic and epigenetic clonal evolution during tumor metastasis.Our data and analysis elucidated the mechanisms and drivers during metastasis, which represent a valuable resource for the study and treatment of prostate cancer.

Durum and bread wheat are well adapted to the Mediterranean Basin. Twenty-three genotypes of each species were grown to evaluate the intra- and inter-genetic diversity based on omega (ω), gamma (γ) and alpha (α)-gliadin profiles. To achieve this purpose, the endosperm storage proteins (both gliadins and glutenins) were extracted from wheat grains and electrophoresed on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)–polyacrylamide gels. The results of SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealed nine polymorphic loci out of 16 loci with durum wheat genotypes and nine polymorphic loci out of 18 loci with bead wheat genotypes. The polymorphisms revealed by the SDS-PAGE were 56% and 50% in durum and bread wheat genotypes, respectively. Using the cluster analysis, the durum wheat genotypes were clustered into five groups, while the bread wheat genotypes were grouped into six clusters using un-weighed pair group mean analyses based onω,γ, andα-gliadins profiles. The 46 durum and bread wheat genotypes were grouped into seven clusters based on the combinedω,γ, andα-gliadins profiles revealed by the SDS-PAGE. Thein silicoanalysis determined the intra-genetic diversity between bread and durum wheat based on the sequences ofω,γ, andα-gliadins. The alignment ofω-gliadin revealed the highest polymorphism (52.1%) between bread and durum wheat, meanwhile, the alignment ofγandα-gliadins revealed very low polymorphism 6.6% and 15.4%, respectively. According to computational studies, all gliadins contain a lot of glutamine and proline residues. The analysis revealed that the bread wheat possessedωandγ-gliadins with a lower content of proline and a higher content of glutamine than durum wheat. In contrast, durum wheat possessedα-gliadin with a lower content of proline and a higher content of glutamine than bread wheat. In conclusion, the SDS-PAGE,in silicoand computational analyses are effective tools to determine the intra- and inter-genetic diversity in tetraploid and hexaploid wheat genotypes based onω,γ, andα-gliadins profiles.

Southern Mexico’s tropical forests are home to the country’s highest richness of mammal species; La Chinantla region is situated within this area, its name from the indigenous group residing in the area and holding territorial ownership, namely the Chinantecos. In La Chinantla, there are no Protected Areas; instead, there are Areas Destined Voluntarily for Conservation (ADVC) and “Voluntary Conservation Areas” (VCA), that are managed by local inhabitants through social consensus. These ADVC may function as an archipelago reserve, which represents regional diversity, including the social context, through complementarity. To verify its biodiversity, we analyzed the richness, composition, distribution, and conservation of wild mammals in the region. Records were obtained from four sources—primary data collection, databases, scientific literature, and community monitoring—and were organized into four zones based on altitudinal and vegetation gradients. We compared the diversity between zones for three categories of mammals: small (<100 gr.), bats, and medium and large (>100 gr.). 134 species were identified comprising 11 orders, 26 families and 86 genera. The zone with highest elevation presented the greatest species richness for the assemblage of mammals and terrestrial mammals, while the zone with the lowest elevation had the highest richness of bats. For each mammal category, the zone with the most species also registered the highest number of exclusive species. For the assemblage of mammals and for medium and large mammals, the similarity index was highest between the two intermediate zones, while for small mammals and bats, the greatest similarity occurred between the areas of higher altitude. The study region was found to have the second highest richness of mammals in Mexico. Finally, we suggest that the conservation proposals by indigenous people could function as a set of “islands” that promote the conservation of biodiversity, possibly as an Archipelago Reserve.

Published: November 2023

The world has entered the digital sources era in which Internet is the main source of news. The disruptive effects of internet on communication and public sphere were observed in many aspects of social life and distracting existing social institutions and the social systems. Discussion in public sphere on many global problems, such as environmental issues arising from global warming and climate change is clouded by divided and opposite views and beliefs, caused, as research that is presented in the article demonstrates, by the nature of the online communication platforms which humankind use to access the news. Aim of this article is to describe communication practices and discourse use connected to the term of climate change in Croatian online media-sphere through the application of semantic and content analysis of the online communication. In this paper are propose effective communication procedures and messages to enhance civil discussion and public engagement on the issue. This research shows the importance of professional media outlets and the importance of singular voices with broad community and huge number of followers on social media sites. Conclusions of this paper are that in presenting novelty it’s essential to avoid sensationalism (the ground for trivialization and denial) and publish exhaustive facts, research data and findings. and left the public to reach their own conclusion. To promote scientifically grounded stories on climate change and all the other environmental issues online, engagement of the scientists and professionals in the field of environmental protection is essential for delivering trustworthy and scientifically proven information to the public. Information provided through social media should, present facts connected to the issues, in a neutral manner to avoid unwanted strategies of reducing cognitive dissonance presented in this paper.
La métrica como aspecto clave en la poética de Kavafis
Authors: Fredericksen Neira Alfredo
Published: November 2023

Resumen A través del presente artículo intentaremos estudiar la métrica como aspecto clave en la poética de Kavafis. Pero, como es natural, en la tarea de tratar de desentrañar las claves de esa poética, tenemos que hacer referencia a los textos no canónicos, en los cuales comienzan a esbozarse algunos de los caracteres de su poesía madura. Tenemos, por tanto, que tener presente el panorama de todo el corpus poético que dejó el poeta a su muerte, en 1933.
An intelligent extension of the training set for the Persian n-gram language model: an enrichment algorithm
Authors: Motavallian Rezvan , Komeily Masoud
Published: November 2023

In this article, we are going to introduce an automatic mechanism to intelligently extend the training set to improve the n-gram language model of Persian. Given the free word-order property in Persian, our enrichment algorithm diversifies n-gram combinations in baseline training data through dependency reordering, adding permissible sentences and filtering ungrammatical sentences using a hybrid empirical (heuristic) and linguistic approach. Experiments performed on baseline training set (taken from a standard Persian corpus) and the resulting enriched training set indicate a declining trend in average relative perplexity (between 34% to 73%) for informal/spoken vs. formal/written Persian test data.

The study of the loads resulting from the action of the wind in buildings is one of the relevant aspects of structural design, for which its correct consideration in the design, as well as the study of real cases, adds great value to the field of engineering. Civil construction. In this sense, the present work was developed in order to evaluate wind pressure in low-rise buildings with full-scale metal roofs in the city of Juliaca. It was quantitative and experimental, where, as the object of study, they took 3 structures, which were evaluated from the natural ground level to the top of the coverage; being the following: Coliseum of the University Peruana Unión [UPeU], 13.13 meters high with parabolic coverage; Los Uros dining room of the University Peruana Unión, 4.75 meters high with one water roof and; Grass field of the University Peruana Union of 7.30 meters high with gabled coverage. Data collection and recording was performed at intervals of 30 minutes, for a period of 12 hours, in an arrangement of 7 rows by 6 columns, for each coverage, where 840 reading data were the speed of wind obtained from the anemometers digital installed in the coverages. As a result of the statistical analysis through the application of the Correlation and linear regression method, it was obtained that the 3 evaluated structures comply with the parameters established in the Peruvian Technical Standard E-020 of the National Building Regulations for the design of wind loads.

Introduction: Acidogenic diets cause a drop in urinary pH, and increasing features of metabolic syndrome are associated with increased calcium oxalate precipitation. Nowadays, it is well accepted that dietary variables promote the formation of vesical calculi, contributing to the prevalence of vesical stones. Aim: The aim of this study is to estimate the impact of nutritional status on the management of vesical calculi. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane library, as well as additional sources such as Google Scholar and ClinicalTrials. gov, covering the period from 2001 to 2022. The most important electronic databases were checked, and all types of studies, including expressive studies, trials, commentaries, and editorials, were considered due to the nature of the studies. The risk of bias was assessed using the recommended methodology. A two-part tool was used to address five specific domains: selection bias, performance bias, attrition bias, selective reporting, and other biases. Quality diagnostic accuracy studies were evaluated using a quality assessment tool. Results: This study included 12 literature sources, of which five were nutrition-based studies and seven were focused on vesical calculi. Dietary modifications and medical treatments were found to be the most important factors in preventing recurrence. Conclusion: Dietary and medical treatments are of utmost importance in preventing recurrence. As per physician advice for vesical calculi, a proper dietary plan that includes a mineralrich diet is needed. Consumption of ample fluids is essential for the removal of stones.
