El síndrome de la espalda inclinada o camptocormia es una causa de desequilibrio sagital del tronco no estructurada de difícil manejo médico y quirúrgico. Puede ser secundario a enfermedades del sistema nervioso central o periférico, o de origen primario muscular, como la atrofia aislada de la musculatura paravertebral espinal. El diagnóstico se basa en la evaluación clínica, los estudios por imágenes, el electromiograma y la biopsia muscular. El síndrome de la espalda inclinada, cualquiera fuera su causa, tiene un pronóstico pobre, los síntomas suelen progresar hasta afectar la bipedestación de manera irreversible. Presentamos un análisis retrospectivo de cuatro casos de síndrome de la espalda inclinada tratados en nuestro centro y una revisión de la bibliografía. AbstractIntroduction: The bent spine syndrome (BSS) or camptocornia is a cause of unstructured sagittal imbalance of difficult medical and surgical management.Objective: To describe the causes of BSS and how to approach its treatment.Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 4 cases of BSS treated at our center and review of the literature.Results: The 4 cases were women between 60 and 82 years of age, 3 due to an isolated atrophy of the paravertebral spinal erectorae musculature and 1 case due to an inflammatory myopathy.Conclusions: The prognosis of any BSS is poor, so the symptoms usually progress to irreversible difficulty to maintain upright posture.

Las Farianas: Reintegration of former female FARC fighters as a driver for peace in Colombia
Authors: Barrios Sabogal Laura Camila , Richter Solveig
Published: November 2019

The 2016 peace agreement includes comprehensive prescriptions for the so-called “reincorporation” of former combatants into the social, economic and political life of Colombia. However, the literature is somewhat skeptical regarding the reintegration of female fighters, since they are usually either neglected or are facing intense stigmatization by the society. Nevertheless, based on empirical data from field research in 2018, we argue that both former FARC ex-combatants and conflict-affected communities largely support the reintegration process. This acceptance offers not only prospects for peace but a unique opportunity to promote gender equality in the traditional Colombian society.
Selected problems pertaining to modernisation of land and building records – determination of boundaries of real estate plots
Authors: Budkowski Szczepan , Gniadek Jacek
Published: November 2019

In Poland, the land and building records (EGiB) function as real estate cadastre, and are subject to periodic and on-going updating in accordance with applicable regulations. In addition to upgrades aimed at bringing the field status in line with the registration status, land and building records’ modernizations are also being carried out. The purpose of modernization is to improve the quality of collected data as well as their standardization and harmonization. Modernization works can be carried out through field measurements or the use of photogrammetric technology. The purpose of this publication is to clarify the problems associated with determining the boundaries of registration plots in the context of modernization works performed using the photogrammetric method. The paper includes an assessment of technical and legal aspects related to the above-mentioned tasks.
Geoinformation in the invisible resources of the internet
Authors: Król Karol
Published: November 2019

The article presents an introduction to deliberations on the type and scope of information, including geoinformation, made available in the Deep Web and Dark Web. It has been shown that geoinformation is present in the Surface Web, although only a small fragment is available in the search results. In the search indexes, the main pages of specialised geoinformation portals, Internet maps and databases are typically made available. Most geoinformation is available on the Deep Web, which requires the use of specialized search engines or exploration of thematic maps. It was also pointed out that geoinformation contradicts the assumptions of the Dark Web. The Tor network, which is the basis of the Dark Web, was created to ensure anonymity and prevent location in space.
Analysis of generally available online sources of spatial data in the context of appraising historic real estate property
Authors: Bitner Agnieszka , Król Karol , Piotrowski Piotr , Gajczak Sabina
Published: November 2019

The paper presents an analysis of generally available (open access) online sources of information – such as geoportals – in order to assess how valuable they are to the work of a real estate property appraiser. As a result of the analysis, it was determined what information is available in geoportals about a specific real estate property, which would be relevant in the valuation process. The property in question is located in the Dolnośląskie (Lower Silesian) region, Średzki district, Środa Śląska municipality. It is a property of a historic-cultural value.
Two nation-wide geoportals were examined, as well as regional and local geoportals from the Lower Silesia region, where the valued object is located. Three categories of geoportal assessment were applied in this study, namely: functionality, transparency, and the availability of information about the valued property; the latter being the most important from the property appraiser’s point of view. The analysis showed that geoportals provide information relevant to the real estate property in the valuation process. The levels of information availability in the studied map portals were shown to have varied. Of course, this kind of information requires verification, because not all portals provide the date and time of the last information update. That notwithstanding, they still constitute valuable sources of information about the real estate property.
Utilitarian attractiveness of agricultural plots – case studies of a complex of plots located in the Szczepankowo village (Warmia and Masuria region)
Authors: Muszyński Robert , Kocur-Bera Katarzyna
Published: November 2019

The attractiveness of agricultural real estate is affected by a number of factors, of which the most important include: location, convenience of access, utilitarian value, spatial configuration, neighbourhood, agricultural culture, and level of crop difficulty. The attractiveness is related to spatial order. Indicators for the assessment of spatial order can be also used to assess the utilitarian attractiveness. The scope of features also depends on the buyers, i.e. potential users of the land. The aim of the present research was to assess the utilitarian attractiveness of agricultural parcels. The selection of indicators was made on the basis of a literature review and indications from the surveys. The research object was a complex of plots of the village of Szczepankowo located in the Lubawa municipality (Warmia-Masuria region). Each studied plot used for agriculture was assessed in terms of twelve attributes representing spatial order. The results of the assessment are presented in tabular and graphical format. The vast number of plots in the studied complex has favourable attractiveness for agricultural use. Due to the diverse nature of the elements and forms occurring in rural areas, ensuring spatial order in these areas is difficult. The use of the developed indicators provides the opportunity to indicate which of the attributes of the assessed space may have a negative impact on the attractiveness. Indication of elements disturbing spatial order and introducing chaos in space enables carrying out corrective actions, for example, agricultural land management measures that make it possible to influence the spatial structure of agricultural plots.
Museum Caught in a Maelstrom of Narratives
Authors: Larsson Göran
Published: November 2019

It is not hard to argue that the terror attacks on September 11, 2001, and the subsequent horrific violent acts that have been carried out in the name of Islam in cities like, for example, Madrid, London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Nice or Stockholm have all had a serious impact on public perceptions of Islam and Muslims in the West. One way of understanding the outcome of these processes is to argue that they have contributed to and produced and strengthened what Riem Spielhaus and I call narratives of inclusion and exclusion (Larsson and Spielhaus 2013, 2017). In this article I will use narratives of inclusion and exclusion as a backdrop and heuristic tool for analysing and discussing the impacts of these two grand ideal-type narratives on museums planning to display so-called Islamic artefacts.

Similar event-related potentials to structural violations in music and language
Authors: De Leeuw Joshua
Published: November 2019

We report a replication of Patel, Gibson, Ratner, Besson, and Holcomb (1998). The results of our replication are largely consistent with the conclusions of the original study. We found evidence of a P600 component of the event-related potential (ERP) in response to syntactic violations in language and harmonic inconsistencies in music. There were some minor differences in the spatial distribution of the P600 on the scalp between the replication and the original. The experiment was pre-registered at https://osf.io/g3b5j/. We conducted this experiment as part of an undergraduate cognitive science research methods class at Vassar College; we discuss the practice of integrating replication work into research methods courses.

Production and properties of Co-based metallic-glass-reinforced aluminum matrix composites
Authors: Yazici Ziya Ozgur , Sanan Gorkem
Published: November 2019

Cobalt (Co)-based metallic-glass-particulate-reinforced aluminum (Al) matrix composites were prepared by microwave sintering under air atmosphere conditions at a proper temperature that avoids crystallization of reinforcing particles. Composite powders containing 5–20 vol.% metallic-glass reinforcements were prepared by using a high-speed vibrating ball mill, and green compacts were sintered through the microwave-heating method at 500°C for 30 min. Microstructural features were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the samples were evaluated through compression tests and Vickers hardness measurements. Sintering studies showed that the metallic-glass particles interacted with the microwaves during the microwave-heating process over a certain temperature (>500°C) apart from the susceptor heating element and caused excessive heating, which led to overheating of the composite sample in an uncontrollable manner. Therefore, the sintering temperature of the samples was selected to be 500°C. Investigations of the microstructure of the samples with well-distributed reinforcements revealed that there was no brittle intermetallic phase formation between the reinforcement and matrix interfaces. The results showed that the composite samples milled for 2 h exhibited significantly higher compressive strength and hardness values compared with pure aluminum.

Ironic Strategies of Postmodern Art Games
Authors: Menshikov Leonid A.
Published: November 2019

Postmodernism has left a significant number of strategies to imitate art. They all rely on the game, offering to “play art”. The way of existing in Postmodernism in the form of the game is possible due to the broad interpretation of the concept of the “game” in modern aesthetics. The game principle in the works of Baudrillard, Lyotard, Debord and Gadamer is absolutised as the basis of the social interactions within which art is created. The methodology of the postmodern games is worked out and at the same time turns into arbitrariness in science, everyday life and social life, depriving them of certainty and consistency, making the principle of process the most important quality of any activity, including artistic one. In the postmodern game, hyperreal, carnival and marginal features are outlined. It is the basis of imitation, combinatorics, pastiche and intertextuality as the text production strategy. As a result, a playing text appears, erasing any differences and hierarchies. The game appropriates the place of the sacred and parodying, declining and desecration become the leading forms of creativity. The game turns into a masquerade, acquiring performative-spectacular forms, performing the function of returning the past to the present, preserving the lost tradition. The game within the cultural framework defined the field of the unserious. The game that has swallowed up culture, deprives it of its seriousness, puts it beyond morality, making evil and death a thing of the past. The game allows Postmodernism to overcome the finality of art. Within the framework of the total playful nature of Postmodernism, the new avant-garde technologies of irony, nihilism, labyrinth, chaos, creativity, authorship, and representation are filled with new content
“The Frieze of Life” by Edvard Munch: Philosophical and Art Analysis
Authors: Seredkina Natalia N. , Kistova Anastasia V. , Pimenova Natalia N.
Published: November 2019

The article presents a philosophical and art analysis of three paintings by the Norwegian artist E. Munch, namely “Melancholy” (1891–1892), “Separation” (1896), “The Dance of Life” (1899–1900), included in the “The Frieze of Life” cycle. The purpose of the analysis was to uncover the artistic ideas of each of the selected works and to identify the general conceptual basis of the artist’s work. As a result of the methodological analysis of the paintings, it was substantiated that the work of E. Munch, firstly, is fundamentally consistent, in the sense that each work should be considered as part of the painter’s holistic art world view; secondly, the dominant compositional features of the works, relating them to the style space of Areo-romanticism, are highlighted; thirdly, such a characteristic of E. Munch’s creativity as a programmatic approach is revealed, which is expressed in the embodiment of the deep meanings of human life through the sign-symbolic forms of works

Authors: Ustinin M.N. , Rykunov S.D. , Boyko A.I. , Maslova O.A. , Pankratova N.M.
Published: November 2019

New method for the magnetic encephalography data analysis was proposed, making it possible to transform multichannel time series into the spatial structure of the human brain activity. In this paper we applied this method to the analysis of magnetic encephalograms, obtained from subjects with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. We have considered the experimental data, obtained with 275-channel magnetic encephalographs in McGill University and Montreal University. Magnetic encephalograms of the brain spontaneous activity were registered for 5 minutes in magnetically shielded room. Detailed multichannel spectra were obtained by the Fourier transform of the whole time series. For all spectral components, the inverse problem was solved in elementary current dipole model and the functional structure of the brain activity was calculated in the broad frequency band 0.3-50 Hz. It was found that frequency band relations are different in different experiments. We proposed to use these relations by the summary electric power produced by the sources in selected frequency band. The delta rhythm in frequency band 0.3 to 4 Hz was studied in detail. It was found, that many delta rhythm dipoles were localized outside the brain, and their spectrum consists of the heartbeat harmonics. It was concluded that in experiments considered, the delta rhythm represents the vascular activity of the head. To study the spatial distribution of all rhythms from theta to gamma the partial spectra of the brain divisions were calculated. The partial spectrum includes all frequencies produced by the dipole sources located in the region of brain selected at the magnetic resonance image. The method can be further applied to study encephalograms in various psychic disorders.

Published: November 2019

he local landscape Feofaniya is located on the outskirts of the Kyiv and represents communities of native oak wood with high density of ancient trees and hornbeam forest, steppe meadow, culture phytocenoses, cascade of ponds, stream. For the period 2012-2018 11 species of fish, 8
amphibians, 7 reptiles, 111 birds, 29 mammals were identified. Of these, 82.0 % of species are protected internationally, 8.9 % at the state level of the Ukraine, 12.6 % are regionally rare. In 81% of animal species, the reproductive site passes through the tract, and in half of them the whole life cycle. 19 % of the species composition of birds (Aves) are sedentary, 58 % arrive for nesting, 12 % for feeding, 9 % for wintering, 2 % for migratory (Regulus ignicapillus, Nucifraga caryocatactes). 82.8 % of mammals (Mammalia) are sedentary, 10.3 % are migratory (Pipistrellus nathusii, Pipistrellus pygmaeu, Nyctalus leisleri), 6.9 % with unexplained status (Neovison vison, Capreolus capreolus). The local landscape has 12 alien species. Carassius gibelio, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix released into ponds with the purpose of stocking. Trachemys seripta elegans bring vacationers to the ponds. Pseudorasbora parva, Perccottus glenii, Streptopelia decaocto, Dendrocopos syriacus, Phoenicurus ochruros, Serinus serinus, Ondatra zibet, Pipistrellus kuhlii, Neovison vison penetrated the local landscape independently from neighboring biotopes. Thanks to biotechnical measures aimed at improving the living conditions of animals (protection of natural nests and the creation of artificial ones), hanging feeders in the winter, hanging shelters for daytime and wintering bats. The negative impact on the biotopes of Feofaniya from the side of recreants is somewhat leveled at the expense of educational work with vacationers. The most relevant propaganda work is aimed at educating
correct behavior in nature, explaining the need to protect all plant and animal species, their biotopes, and explaining the consequences of disturbing the balance of sustainable development of ecosystems.
Neurophysiological mechanisms of associative memory realization in the veterans ATO / JFO

Published: November 2019

Testing the state of associative memory using the paired associates method revealed a significant decrease in the effectiveness of associative memorization in veterans of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) / Joint Forces Operation (JFO) with traumatic brain injuries, as evidenced by a larger number of errors made by them and a longer duration of their passing the test compared to the subjects of the control group. In the examined control group, the formation of associative memory was provided by a consistent system of top-down and bottom-up control of memorizing associative pairs of words and forming their images in both right and left hemispheres, while in veterans of the ATO/JFO with traumatic brain injuries in the formation of associative memory was more involved the left hemisphere than the right one, which indicated the overwhelming contribution of the semantic analysis of words to the formation of a connection between them. After the presentation of the first word of an associative pair, the retrieval of the second word in the control group provided a balanced neural network in the right and left hemispheres. At the same time, increased activity in the left hemisphere and the corresponding neural network in the low-frequency range were found in the group with traumatic brain injuries, which indicated a greater involvement of verbal semantic analysis of words when reproducing the second word. At the same time, the lack of synchronization in the beta-range in the central-parietal zone may indicate a deterioration of the postretrieval processes that ensure the processes of inhibition after recalling the corresponding words. Thus, in the control group, when memorizing associative pairs of words, coordinated processes of perception of individual words, their recognition, semantic analysis and the formation of semantic connections between them and their connections with the corresponding images were found, which is a reflection of coordinated inter-hemispheric information processes while subjects with traumatic brain injuries predominantly relied on the phonetic and semantic aspects of associative word pairs.

Assessing how Physical Education Faculty Behaviors Affect College Student Perceptions of Them as Health Instructors: Do we Practice What we Teach?
Authors: Lothes II John
Published: November 2019

Background: While there is a large body of evidence on faculty as role models, there is scant research on physical education faculty and how their behaviors may be reflected and internalized in student health perceptions. Aim: To determine the impact of physical education faculty health behaviors on student perceptions. Method: Surveys were administered among college students enrolled in a number of Physical Education (PED 101) courses at a university in the southeast United States. Different vignettes (healthy versus unhealthy behaviors) were provided describing scenarios where students may observe their physical education faculty both on and off campus. Scenarios were assessed to examine how there may be an effect on the student's perception as either favorable or unfavorable of faculty as a health instructor. Results: Both salient behaviors (e.g., seeing faculty exercising on campus or drinking water during class) and non-salient cues (e.g., having a grocery cart full of health or unhealthy foods at the store) both play a role in students’ perceptions. Conclusion: Physical Education faculty must be aware that behaviors they engage in both in the classroom and out of the classroom may shape how students perceive them.

TEXTS OF SIGNBOARDS AS A FRAGMENT OF SEMIOTIC LANDSCAPE OF А MODERN CHINESE CITY: LINGUOCULTURAL FEATURES
Authors: Kotelnikova N. N.
Published: November 2019

From the perspective of urban communication studies, that explore various aspects of human communication in an urban environment, the city is interpreted as a complex communicative formation, which is reflected in the signs of various semiotic systems. One of such systems forming the semiotic landscape of a city is signboards representing the names of urban infrastructure facilities.The article reflects the results of linguistic analysis of signboards texts of five China megacities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Guangzhou. A brief retrospective review of the development of the urban signboards language as a part of Chinese cities linguistic appearance is given. The structure of Chinese signboards texts is considered and the main features of its identifying (the general name of an urban object that determines the type of an enterprise), qualifying (the component that clarifies the profile of an urban object, as well as the range of products and services offered) and differentiating (the individual name of an object) components are determined. The article shows how the technique of foreign graphics, inclusion of toponyms and anthroponyms in the text, advantages of Chinese ideographic writing system are used in signboards texts creation. Using the owners names, surnames and even nicknames, based on their appearance, can be considered as a traditional way of commercial objects nominating in China. The creators of signboards texts, taking into account the peculiarities of Chinese language as one of the most homonymous languages, actively use the language game technique that is based on the words with the same pronunciation, but different meaning and writing. The use of phrases from ancient Chinese poetry as a differentiating component is pointed out as one of specific features of Chinese urban signboards texts.The author emphasizes that the urban signboards texts are a valuable source of information, that shows not only how the globalization processes influence the urban discourse of Chinese cities, but above all, clearly accentuates their unique characteristics, originality and identity of the language portrait of these cities.

REVIEW OF MODERN PUBLICATIONS ON THE ETHNIC COMPOSITION OF THE COSSACK ARMIES
Authors: Godovova E. V. , Vasiliev I. Yu.
Published: November 2019

A review of modern publications devoted to the study of the ethnic composition of the Don, Kuban, Tersky, Orenburg, Ural, Siberian, Far Eastern Cossack troops is presented. The ethnic and confessional core of the Cossacks was the Orthodox East Slavic population, but it also included representatives of the Turkic-Mongolian and Caucasian peoples who profess Islam and Buddhism. The article provides information provided by Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh scientists about the main ethnic groups that made up the population of Cossack troops by the end of the 19th century, when in terms of their legal status the Cossacks represented a military service class. The specificity of structuring their identity, characteristic of non-Slavic Cossacks of different troops, the organizational basis of this identity is shown. A description is also given of the interaction of ethno-linguistic and confessional factors in the formation of various identities within the Cossack troops. An analysis of research in this problem area showed that scientific research is more focused on studying the ethnic composition of troops at the stage of their formation and development. The authors of the scientific review conclude that, first of all, researchers need to pay attention to establishing the reasons for the entry of representatives of various ethnic groups into the ranks of the Cossacks, collectivity or individuality in accepting the Cossack status. Secondly, to analyze whether the groups of foreign ethnic Cossacks were the structural units of the local social organization of the Eastern Slavs, or did not depend on it. Thirdly, to what extent the organization of society of different groups of Cossacks was unified or had differences. This is especially important in conditions of absolute quantitative and organizational predominance of the East Slavic Cossacks at the indicated time. Fourth, how did acculturation in the Cossack troops take place and what social institutions and groups implemented this process.

Анализ статистических данных показал, что инфокоммуникационные технологии активно входят во все сферы социально-экономической сферы общества и оказывают значительное влияние на развитие отраслей экономики. Под влиянием процессов цифровизации существенно изменяются процедуры сбора и передачи информации. В связи с быстрым устареванием старых технологий и появлением новых, возникает необходимость в формировании новых навыков. Почти все профессии и предприятия будут иметь цифровой компонент в будущем. В работе сделан акцент на том, что модель компетенций является основой ключевых изменений в направлении подготовки кадров в условия цифровизации экономики. Актуализация, накопление знаний в области цифровых технологий должна основываться на использовании различных форм обучения, обмена информацией, таких как участие в российских и международных конференциях, хакатонах, митапах и иных мероприятиях, цель проведения которых состоит в обмене опытом.

Published: November 2019

В статье представлен обзор методических подходов к оценке эффективности управления пищевой промышленностью на региональном уровне. В терминологический аппарат введено новое понятие «региональная цепочка создания стоимости продукта» (regional product value chain – RРVC), представляющая собой последовательность действий по созданию добавленной стоимости сырьевыми, производственными звеньями и звеньями дистрибуции, осуществляющими свою деятельность на территории одного региона. Разработана методика оценки эффективности управления ценностной цепочкой продукта пищевой промышленности на региональном уровне, базирующаяся на процессном подходе, концепции добавленной стоимости, системе сбалансированных статистических показателей и таксонометрическом методе. Для оценки эффективности управления разработана система показателей, отражающая отраслевые особенности ключевых звеньев RРVC пищевой промышленности. Основным достоинством предложенной методики, в отличии от других, является возможность определения достигнутого уровня управления RРVC пищевой промышленности как в целом, так и в разрезе трех ключевых звеньев: сырьевых, производственных и дистрибуции. Такой подход позволит комплексно оценить результаты деятельности звеньев RРVC пищевой промышленности на основе расчета интегрального трехкомпонентного показателя. Апробация авторской методики проведена на примере пищевой промышленности Оренбургской области.
Фискальное значение налога на добавленную стоимость в доходах бюджета России и особенности его администрирования

Published: November 2019

Налог на добавленную стоимость (НДС) является одним из наиболее сложных в теоретическом и практическом аспекте. Поэтому, этот налог довольно часто подвергается законодательным изменениям с целью полной реализации его функциональных обязательств. Актуальность исследуемой темы заключается в фискальном значении налога на добавленную стоимость для формирования доходов федерального бюджета РФ с четом особенностей его администрирования на практике. В исследовании использовался системный анализ структуры налоговых платежей за 2016-2018 гг. НДС как косвенный налог, можно считать ключевым инструментом государственного регулирования рыночного равновесия. С целью предотвращения незаконного возмещения налога в работе рассматриваются направления совершенствования его администрирования с помощью новых автоматизированных программных комплексов контроля за правильностью исчисления, взимания и возмещения НДС.

Мировая система хозяйствования диктует определенные правила и тенденции не только политического, но прежде всего экономического развития, что обусловлено глобализационными процессами, охват и интенсивность протекания которых предъявляет требования к формированию устойчивой к внешним вызовам, эффективной и современной экономической системы, прежде всего на уровне региона. Сегодня наиболее важной является проблема поиска драйверов экономического развития, в качестве которых нами рассмотрены и представлены высокотехнологичные компании. Актуальность темы исследования подтверждается тем, что путь технологического развития сегодня определяет не только возможность качественного и прорывного экономического развития, но и достижение технологического лидерства. Целью данного исследования является анализ и совершенствование методологических подходов к формированию и стимулированию высокотехнологичных компаний-драйверов регионального развития инновационно-инвестиционного генезиса. Базисом проведенного исследования является методология интегрального прогнозирования и планирования в части конвергенции научных подходов российских и зарубежных ученых, существенно развивших данную область экономических знаний. Применяемые методы научного познания, а именно, методы метатеоретического уровня, а также общелогические методы, к которым относятся метод системного анализа, метод анализа и синтеза, метод индукции и дедукции, способствовали качественному изучению и анализу обозначенной в работе проблематики. Представлена авторская позиция относительно определения высокотехнологичных компаний как инновационно-инвестиционных драйверов экономического развития региона. Проанализирована эволюция развития научно-технической мысли. Совершенствована методология инновационного и инвестиционного развития экономических систем на мезоуровне. Приведены важнейшие концептуальные основы технологического развития экономики в контексте стимулирования компаний-драйверов инновационно-инвестиционной природы

Despite its complex life cycle including unicellular and multicellular stages, the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, a well-known model in biomedical research, has not been used as a model organism in studies on mitochondrial import, including its significance in cellular processes. Moreover, data concerning mitochondrial protein import machinery in D. discoideum mitochondria is limited and nothing is known about the impact of that machinery on slime mold life cycle. Here, we focused on the TOB/SAM (topogenesis of the mitochondrial outer membrane β-barrel proteins/sorting and assembly machinery) complex. This complex is localized in the mitochondrial outer membrane and is indispensable for the formation of metabolite exchange and protein import pathways in the membrane, and substantially contributes to the regulation of mitochondrial morphology and distribution. Furthermore, the available data suggests that the TOB/SAM complex variants differ between mitochondria of multicellular and unicellular eukaryotes. Therefore, we decided to determine these variants of the TOB/SAM in mitochondria of D. discoideum progressing from single cells to early multicellular stages, when the cells stream together to form a multicellular organism. The results revealed two complex variants of the TOB/SAM complex of about 160 and 600 kDa molecular weight, present in mitochondria of D. discoideum cells at the studied stages. The discussed complex variants resemble the ones that have been already detected for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fungus Neurospora crassa and human cells, and one of investigated variants differentiates unicellular and initial multicellular stages of the D. discoideum life cycle.

The synthesis of MgxN1-xFe2O4/SiO2 composite nanoparticles, where x=0; 0.25; 0.5; 0.75; 1.0 through coprecipitation method and low temperatures had been successfully carried out. The result of X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) informed that the sample had crystalline forms and different crystallite sizes as the Mg concentration in the sample is increased. The sizes of crystallite produced were between 12.12 to 24.47 nm. In addition, theoretically and experimentally there were differences grid parameters with the energy bandgap of the nanocomposite sample ranged from 2.51 to 2.66 electron volt (eV). Therefore, the MgxN1-xFe2O4/SiO2composite nanoparticles could be referred to the nano-photocatalyst or nano-adsorbent for organic pollutant due to its potential to degrade Methylene Blue waste.
