Communication between the Living and the Dead in Modern and Ancient Greece, a Comparison
Authors: Håland Evy Johanne ,   Academic Publishing
Published: May 2024

Festivals dedicated to ancient heroes and heroines and modern saints, and private burials mirror each other, and after being lamented and buried, memorial rituals must be performed at the tomb, combined with the offering of material gifts, in order to obtain reciprocal benefits. After a certain period, the bones are exhumed. Depending on the colour of the bones—their unusual size and sweet smell also being important evidence of sanctity—as well as on the dead person’s status or power while alive, the deceased person may be a mediator in the literal sense of the word, through this second burial in the ossuary (where the bones are placed after the exhumation), or in a mausoleum or church. Both in earlier times and now, the living are dependent on the mediator’s successful communication with even stronger powers in the subterranean world, to assure the continuity of their own lives through the fruits of the earth. Based on the results of first-hand fieldwork carried out by the author since the 1980s to the present in conjunction with ancient Greek sources, the article will examine rituals dedicated to deceased persons in which pilgrimages and offerings of food and other gifts—such as ex-voto offerings—at tombs are central for the preservation of the community, including peoples’ health.
Scotch® Magic Tape™ and the Analysis of Settled Dust
Authors: Crutcher Russ
Published: May 2024

An environmental “sticky” tape lift contains hundreds to tens of thousands of individual particles. Each particle is unique, and its optical properties indicate the particle’s identity and history. Environmental particles are not isolated and by association occur with other particles, which may provide information on the source of an individual particle. The physical placement of particles on a surface carries information about the individual particles as well as the microenvironment associated with the surface at that location. Sampling is a destructive process because information is lost no matter how the surface is sampled. Therefore, the chosen sampling procedure must retain the data required for the analysis. Tape lifts can retain data on particle concentrations, particle identification, particle sources, transport mechanisms active at the sample location, and more. The type and quality of tape, how it is processed, and how it is analyzed will affect the extent to which the environment has been characterized. 3M Scotch® Magic™ Tape (Magic Tape) and the light microscope have been used to make tape lifts by the author since 1970 for characterizing environments. The advantages and disadvantages of using this sampling method are briefly discussed.

Effects of sectoral structure of foreign direct investment on economic development: The case of European developing countries
Authors: Despotović Danijela , Dimitrijević Miloš , Savićević Marko
Published: May 2024

The inflow of foreign capital from multinational companies from all over the world, in the form of foreign direct investments (FDI), intensified economic dynamics and contributed to the improvement of macroeconomic performance. In certain economic sectors and activities, FDI has become the carrier of economic growth, encouraged by intensive processes of deindustrialization and reindustrialization. Namely, FDI can have both positive and negative impact on economic growth and development. This depends on the ability of the economic sectors to overcome the negative effects of FDI in a certain period of time, which can only be achieved if the sectors are exportoriented and introduce new technologies into their operations, thereby increasing productivity and competitiveness. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) panel regression showed this was not the case in the primary and secondary sectors in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Western Balkans (WBs), which are still predominantly labor-intensive and therefore have a negative impact on economic development. As opposed to the agricultural and industrial sectors, the services, under the influence of technological progress, is profiled as a capital-intensive sector with a statistically significant positive impact on economic growth and development.

Published: May 2024

With the alarmingly increasing prevalence of obesity in the Western world, it has become necessary to provide more acceptable treatment options for patients with obesity. Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are continuously evolving. Currently, metabolic and bariatric endoscopies encompass several different techniques that can offer significant weight loss and improvement in comorbidities with a favorable safety profile. Restrictive bariatric procedures include the use of intragastric balloons and gastric remodeling techniques with different suturing devices. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of these techniques that are widely used in clinical practice. Small intestine-targeted metabolic endoscopy is an intriguing and rapidly evolving field of research, although it is not widespread in routine practice. These techniques include duodenal-jejunal bypass liners, duodenal mucosal resurfacing, and incisionless anastomoses. The aim of this review article is to provide a detailed update on the currently available bariatric endoscopy techniques in Western countries.

Background/Aims: To validate endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) used in conjunction with stereomicroscopic on-site evaluation (SOSE) as a preoperative diagnostic tool for resectable pancreatic cancer (R-PC) and borderline resectable PC (BR-PC).Methods: Seventy-eight consecutive patients who underwent EUS-TA for suspected R-PC or BR-PC were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the sensitivity of EUS-TA together with SOSE based on the stereomicroscopically visible white core (SVWC) cutoff value. One or two sites were punctured by using a 22-gauge biopsy needle for EUS-TA, based on the SOSE findings.Results: We collected 99 specimens from 56 and 22 patients with R-PC and BR-PC, respectively. Based on the SOSE results, we performed 57 procedures with one puncture. The SVWC cutoff values were met in 73.7% and 73.1% of all specimens and in those obtained during the first puncture, respectively. The final diagnoses were malignant and benign tumors in 76 and two patients, respectively. The overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of EUS-TA for the 78 lesions were 90.8%, 100%, and 91.0%, respectively. The sensitivity for malignant diagnosis based on the SVWC cutoff value were 89.5% and 90.4% for the first puncture and all specimens, respectively.Conclusions: The sensitivity of EUS-TA in conjunction with SOSE for malignancy diagnosis in patients with suspected R-PC or BR-PC was 90.4%.

Published: May 2024

This article examines the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), with special attention to its goals, background, challenges, and effects on Nigeria. Africa has abundant natural resources and a diverse range of cultures, but it also faces challenges like poor infrastructure and ineffective governments, which limit trade throughout the continent. Recall, AfCFTA was created in 2018 with the intention of creating a competitive single African market by eliminating tariffs and other barriers. The AfCFTA aims to eliminate tariffs, standardize customs procedures, resolve disputes amicably, and cooperate in addressing technical barriers. Hence, this study delved into the synoptic perspective of the liberating impacts of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement., especially on Nigeria trade relations. The liberation needed cloches were: weak infrastructure development, slow trade facilitation, and under standardization. Hence, by economically engaging in AfCFTA, created pathway for access to more affordable goods. Although, unfulfilled trade obligations posed a cog on the implementation Wheel. However, liberation is set for infrastructure development, increased exports, better trade facilitation, and institutional development Keywords: Africa; Economic Liberation; Nigeria; Free trade

Authors: Edy Soesanto  , Assyeh Annassrul Majid
Published: May 2024

One of the characteristics of the oil and gas sector, especially drilling activities, is High Cost, namely high operational costs. Therefore, efficient and effective use of time is necessary to reduce operational costs. Evaluation of the influence of ILT and NPT on drilling activities was carried out to find the factors that made drilling time so long. Identifying KPIs for each activity is necessary to find out what activities can be optimized. From the analysis results it was found that the Invisible Lost Time value was 33.12% (198.75 hours) and Non-Productive Time was 18.37% (110.25 hours) caused by less than optimal performance and equipment failure. The author believes that the factors causing the relatively high ILT and NPT can still be optimized so that the costs required during drilling activities are in accordance with the desired planning.

75 preschool teachers were studied using the interpersonal conflict work scale, envy scale, emotional exhaustion scale, and mindfulness scale to investigate the relationship and internal mechanism between trait mindfulness, interpersonal conflict, envy, and emotional exhaustion. The findings revealed that the direct effect of trait mindfulness on interpersonal conflict was not statistically significant. However, trait mindfulness was associated with emotional exhaustion and interpersonal conflict. And trait mindfulness influenced the interpersonal conflict of preschool teachers primarily through the independent mediating effect of emotional exhaustion. As a result, trait mindfulness could predict preschool teachers’ interpersonal conflict via the independent mediating effect of emotional exhaustion. However, trait mindfulness did not predict preschool teachers’ interpersonal conflict via the independent mediating effect of envy or the chain mediating effect of envy and emotional exhaustion.

Recent legislation and emerging trends in Cosmetology
Authors:   Department of Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics International Hellenic University, Sindos 57400, Thessaloniki, Giannakoudaki Αnna
Published: May 2024

As the science of Cosmetology evolves, facing increasingly high demands, the legislative framework related to cosmetic products in the European Union, which is extremely well organized, is constantly on the alert in order to ensure the protection of consumer health and the quality of the environment, but also the avoidance of fraud and financial loss. Challenges constantly arise for new opinions and regulations-amendments of legislative content, which can affect any point in the life cycle of a cosmetic product, from the conception of the initial idea, to the rejection of the product. Sometimes the trends that appear are harbingers of a later need that should be legally defined. For example, the tendency to reduce the use of microplastics, which was a wish-choice in the previous years, is now legally mandated. Therefore, sometimes legislative developments and trends in a field interact significantly. Some recent legislative-type events and the evolution of trends that appeared in the field of cosmetic products after the decisive experience of the pandemic that we recently experienced are selectively presented.

Вопросы оценки потенциального экономического значения карантинных видов насекомых и клещей при осуществлении анализа фитосанитарного риска
Authors: Гребенников К.А.
Published: May 2024

В статье приведен анализ существующих подходов к оценке потенциального экономического значения вредных организмов (насекомых и клещей) при проведении анализа фитосанитарного риска. Показана недостаточность существующей международной и отечественной методической основы для проведения такой оценки. Проведен анализ применимости и точности имеющихся методов оценки. Показана наибольшая практическая применимость метода составления частичной финансовой сметы (рartial budgeting). На основе существующих методов и практик предложена усовершенствованная методика, которая учитывает эмпирические данные о вредоносности насекомых и клещей для сельскохозяйственных культур и вероятность акклиматизации (принимаемую как пригодность условий), определенную в соответствии с математической моделью потенциального ареала вида. Данный подход обоснован объективной корреляцией между вредоносностью и численностью вредителей, в свою очередь, обусловленной пригодностью условий среды. Предложен подход к качественной оценке потенциальных экономических потерь на основе соотнесения расчетных показателей потенциального ущерба и валового внутреннего продукта в зоне анализа фитосанитарного риска. Изложенная методика позволяет значительно повысить достоверность и точность оценки потенциального экономического значения потенциально опасных видов насекомых и клещей при проведении анализа фитосанитарного риска, соответствует требованиям законодательства и методических документов в сфере карантина растений и математически эквивалентна методам оценки, применявшимся ранее в практике анализа фитосанитарного риска в Российской Федерации. Отмечены перспективы дальнейшего усовершенствования методов оценки негативного воздействия вредных организмов при проведении анализа фитосанитарного риска на основе более детализированных моделей сельскохозяйственного производства и экономических взаимосвязей.
Изучение устойчивости сортов гороха к возбудителю бактериального ожога гороха Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi
Authors: Игнатьева И.М. , Бакаева А.С.
Published: May 2024

Возбудитель бактериального ожога гороха является основным фитопатогеном гороха посевного и распространяется через семенной материал. В ряде стран, включая страны – импортеры гороха из России, возбудитель Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi, вызывающий бактериоз некоторых зернобобовых культур, включен в карантинные перечни. Внедрение методов выявления и идентификации возбудителя болезни и поиск резистентных сортов стали актуальными в стратегии сохранения уровня экспорта гороха из России. С этой целью в ходе проведенной работы выбраны и проверены сорта гороха на устойчивость к фитопатогену. Для исследования был произведен посев пяти сортов гороха. После того как произошло прорастание в фазе 2–3 листьев, по 10 растений каждого сорта инокулировали бактериальной суспензией в концентрации 106 КОЕ/мл. Одно растение оставляли в качестве отрицательного контрольного образца, используя для инокуляции стерильную дистиллированную воду. В процессе развития проростков выполнялось сравнение зараженных растений с контрольным образцом, проводилась регистрация проявления симптомов заболевания. На 22-й день после заражения отобрали образцы вегетативных частей растений и провели контроль наличия клеток патогена, используя ПЦР-анализ с праймерами AN7F/AN7R. Согласно полученным результатам ПЦР-анализа, во всех пробах растений (в том числе и бессимптомных) подтверждено наличие специфического для возбудителя бактериального ожога гороха продукта амплификации размером 272 пары оснований (п. о.). В результате исследования выявлена восприимчивость сортов гороха к бактериозу у сортов гороха Варяг, Алтайский усатый, Астронавт. В ходе исследования установлено, что наиболее подходящим кандидатом для селекции сорта, резистентного к Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi, стал сорт Амброзия. Также подтверждена необходимость оценки развития симптомов заражения фитопатогеном в совокупности с молекулярно-генетическими методами выявления ДНК бактерии в растительных клетках для подтверждения резистентности сорта к бактериальному ожогу гороха.

Published: May 2024

Зимняя пяденица Operophtera brumata (Linnaeus, 1758) – опасный вредитель лесных насаждений и плодовых деревьев, распространенный в северо-западной части Российской Федерации, в Молдавии, Сибири, Средней Азии, на Кавказе. Для борьбы с пяденицей используют химические, механические и биологические методы борьбы, важной составляющей которых является своевременное выявление и мониторинг численности этого вредителя. Незаменимым инструментом для этого служат феромонные ловушки, в которых используются диспенсеры с половым феромоном зимней пяденицы – (Z, Z, Z)-l,3,6,9-нонадекатетраеном, синтезированным в отделе синтеза феромонов ФГБУ «ВНИИКР» по разработанной методике. Действующее вещество, феромон, наносили на диспенсеры в смеси со стабилизаторами – витамином Е и ионолом. В данной работе представлены результаты полевых испытаний различных вариантов клеевых феромонных ловушек с синтетическим феромоном в двух разных дозировках – 0,5 мг (смесь I) и 2,0 мг (смесь II) – на 1 диспенсер. Показано, что смесь II была эффективнее смеси I лишь в количественном отношении, но не по продолжительности аттрактивного действия, которая оказалась одинаковой для обоих вариантов. Таким образом, при использовании феромонных ловушек 4-кратное увеличение дозировки синтетического феромона не может считаться обязательным. Установлено, что ромбовидная ловушка обеспечивает более эффективный отлов вредителя за счет большей закрытости конструкции по сравнению с ловушкой «Квадро», а также с дельтовидной ловушкой в различных ее модификациях. Доказано преимущество энтомологического клея при использовании в качестве растворителя минеральных масел (клей «Полификс») по сравнению с клеем на водно-минеральной основе (клей «Унифлекс»). Разработанный феромонный препарат может быть использован при выявлении вредителя и мониторинге численности зимней пяденицы.

Published: May 2024

Род Begomovirus – один из наиболее крупных среди родов фитопатогенных вирусов. Представители этого рода заражают двудольные растения и передаются табачной белокрылкой. Ранее этот род был известен также как подгруппа III геминивирусов, или группа вируса золотистой мозаики бобов. Вирус желтой курчавости листьев томата (TYLCV), вирус желтой курчавости листьев томата Сардиния (TYLCSV), вирус курчавости листьев томата Нью-Дели (ToLCNDV) входят в состав рода Begomovirus и являются опасными патогенами овощных культур в открытом и защищенном грунте. Все эти вирусы отсутствуют на территории Российской Федерации, а TYLCV включен в Единый перечень карантинных объектов Евразийского экономического союза (ЕАЭС). Потери урожая томата, перца, цукини и других овощных культур в результате заражения этими патогенами могут достигать 100%. Своевременное выявление зараженных растений имеет важнейшее значение для предотвращения проникновения вирусов на территорию РФ и их и распространения на ней. Объективное выявление особо опасных вирусов рода Begomovirus и их идентификация до уровня рода и вида возможны лишь на основе использования современных методов лабораторной диагностики. В ходе исследований авторами статьи протестированы 7 пар универсальных и 4 пары видоспецифичных праймеров для проведения классической полимеразной цепной реакции (ПЦР) и ПЦР в реальном времени. Определены праймеры, позволяющие проводить универсальное выявление комплекса бегомовирусов на овощных культурах. Проведена отработка мультиплексной ПЦР для выявления и идентификации TYLCV и TYLCSV одновременно. Авторами статьи разработаны праймеры, характеризующиеся высокой специфичностью к TYLCV и TYLCSV.

Экспорт зерновых культур – важная часть экономики России. В связи с международным продовольственным кризисом зерновые становятся стратегическим сырьем. Урожайность зерновых культур зависит от многих факторов, в том числе от качества семенного материала и устойчивости растений к многочисленным заболеваниям. Вирус штриховатой мозаики ячменя является опасным заболеванием, поражающим зерновые культуры, ячмень и пшеницу, а в экспериментальных условиях – ряд других растений семейств Мятликовые (Poaceae) и Амарантовые (Amaranthaceae). Этот вирус входит в перечни карантинных вредных организмов многих стран – импортеров российского зерна, в том числе лидеров по импорту – Турции и Египта. Целью наших исследований являлась оценка методов диагностики и сравнение результатов, полученных как в ходе оценки применимости, так и с реальными растительными образцами, собранными в процессе научного мониторинга. В статье представлен обзор, краткая характеристика вируса, его особенности, а также результаты апробации современных методов выявления и идентификации. В ходе испытаний тест-систем использовали положительные контроли и референтные изоляты вирусов, поражающих зерновые культуры и потенциально затрудняющих диагностику из-за ложноположительных результатов. Результаты оценки специфичности и чувствительности тест-системы для иммуноферментного анализа показали высокую чувствительность и специфичность со всеми исследуемыми в экспериментах вирусами, в связи с чем было принято решение провести скрининг-тестирование отобранных в ходе изучения фитосанитарного состояния посевов зерновых культур. Было выявлено большое количество сероположительных образцов, которые в дальнейшем подвергали тестированию молекулярными методами – тест-наборами для полимеразной цепной реакции (ПЦР) отечественного производства. Результаты тестирования показали, что во всех сероположительных образцах не подтвердилось наличие целевого вируса, в связи с чем необходимо провести дополнительное исследование причин ложноположительных реакций.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the deep seaport development project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) on poverty alleviation in Gwadar city. A review of past research highlights the feasibility of similar projects that have been initiated in other countries and their positive outcomes for regional economies. Previous literature indicates that port development projects enhance local economic growth and help reduce poverty in the region. This study uses three key indicators to measure poverty: education level, health facilities, and living standards. The statistical analysis reveals that improvements in these three indicators have led to a decrease in poverty levels in the region. Under CPEC, various development projects have been launched across the country. However, several issues can limit the benefits of these projects, such as political interference, pressure from vested interest groups, and adverse effects on the natural environment. The study recommends that improving regional connectivity and fostering social interaction among inhabitants are crucial for maximizing the benefits of these development projects and effectively alleviating poverty.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health challenge that significantly impacts individuals and communities. Family-based care is recognized as an effective method to enhance TB management. The aim of this case study is to illustrate the implementation of family-based nursing care in a TB case to provide holistic care. The method used is a case study approach following the Family Nursing Model (FCN) theory by Friedman. A family with TB-diagnosed members was selected as the sample. The nursing care process was conducted over three months with bi-weekly routine visits. The care process included assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results of this case study formulated the nursing diagnosis “Ineffective Health Maintenance in the Family of Mr. D”. Interventions were based on the five family health tasks, namely understanding health issues through education about TB and the disease process; making informed decisions involving the family; providing care with support for the treatment program undergone by family members; adapting a healthy environment through hygiene behavior education; and utilizing health services through referral to community services. This nursing care illustrates integrated care practices with active family involvement, providing practical guidance to enhance TB treatment outcomes and management at the family level.
Onlineundervisning: En praksisnær guide til planlægning, gennemførelse og evaluering
Authors: Hansen Jens Jørgen

Abstract
Onlineundervisning er skrevet af Marie Hvid Stenalt og Dorte Sidelmann Rossen, som begge har en baggrund som pædagogiske konsulenter med digitale teknologier som arbejdsområde. Bogen er, som undertitlen siger, En praksisnær guide til planlægning, gennemførelse og evaluering. Den er også lidt mere end det, for bogens 6. kapitel har overskriften ”Udvikling af egen onlineundervisning”, så den er også en guide til udvikling af onlineundervisning. Det vil sige bogen har fokus på at skabe viden om online undervisning og de didaktiske valg, man som underviser kan træffe i forbindelse med sin onlineundervisning. Bogen åbner også et refleksionsrum om disse valg, som det fremgår af bogens bagside: ”Hvordan engagerer du dine studerende online? Hvordan planlægger du onlineundervisning? Hvordan får du de studerende til at arbejde sammen i et digitalt undervisningsmiljø, og hvilke teknologier skal du bruge?”

The uncontrolled growth of cancer cells is caused by their innate tendency to multiply without limits. In addition to colonizing adjacent tissues, they are capable of forming aggregates in isolated anatomical sites, thereby significantly increasing their invasiveness. Over time, malignant tumors that progressively destroy essential tissues and organs are ultimately lethal. It is well known that growth factor-driven signaling influence malignancy. The transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases of growth factors influence the survival, differentiation, and proliferation of cells. To expedite cell division, neurotransmitters and proteins resembling epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulate EGF receptor (EGFR) family members including HER2-4 and EGFR. The development and growth of numerous varieties of human cancer cells, as well as the morphogenesis of numerous animal species (nematodes to humans), are influenced by this signaling module, which is remarkably conserved. The EGFR family, consisting of over thirty ligands and four receptors, forms a complex and advanced human signal transduction network. The T790M mutation in the EGFR kinase enhances treatment resistance by increasing the affinity for ATP. This work used a molecular design tool to evaluate quinazoline derivatives with the highest IC50 values against EGFR and analyze the molecular interactions in the binding site. The goal was to uncover novel compounds with promising potential.

Two-dimensional tungsten disulfide (WS2), as a semiconductor material with unique layer-dependent electronic and optoelectronic characteristics, demonstrates a promising application prospect in the field of optoelectronic devices. The fabrication of wafer-scale monolayer WS2 films is currently a critical challenge that propels their application in advanced transistors and integrated circuits. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a feasible technique for fabricating large-area, high-quality monolayer WS2 films, yet the complexity of its growth process results in low growth efficiency and inconsistent film quality of WS2. In order to guide experimental efforts to diminish grain boundaries in WS2, thereby improving film quality to enhance electronic performance and mechanical stability, this study investigates the nucleation mechanisms of WS2 during CVD growth through first-principles theoretical calculations. By considering chemical potential as a crucial variable, we analyze the growth energy curves of WS2 under diverse experimental conditions. Our findings demonstrate that modulating the temperature or pressure of the tungsten and sulfur precursors can decisively influence the nucleation rate of WS2. Notably, the nucleation rate reaches a peak at a tungsten source temperature of 1250 K, while an increase in sulfur source temperature or a decrease in pressure can suppress the nucleation rate, thereby enhancing the crystallinity and uniformity of monolayer WS2. These insights not only furnish a robust theoretical foundation for experimentally fine-tuning the nucleation rate as needed but also provide strategic guidance for optimizing experimental parameters to refine the crystallinity and uniformity of monolayer WS2 films. Such advancements are expected to accelerate the deployment of WS2 materials in a range of high-performance electronic devices, marking a significant stride in the field of materials science and industrial applications.
