Authors: Jiang Wenqiang , Li Baozhu , Zhang Zhen , Zhang Ying
Published: September 2024

The Zaozigou gold deposit is recognized as one of the largest and most significant independent gold deposits in northwest China, representing a colossal orogenic gold-antimony deposit. It is imperative to delve into the hydrochemical characteristics and controlling factors within the mining area to unveil the groundwater circulation evolution process and enhance water resource management. In 2018, a comprehensive collection of 50 groups of groundwater samples was conducted, alongside 17 groups of surface water and underground mine water samples in 2023. Compositional descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, Piper three-plot, Gibbs map, ion ratio method, hydrogeochemical simulation and PCA methods were employed to reveal the chemical characteristics and evolution process of groundwater in the Zaozigou gold mine. Furthermore, employing water isotopes theory allowed for the identification of recharge sources and circulation conditions within the Zaozigou Gold Mine. The findings indicated a transition from HCO3-Na·Ca type polluted water in 2018 to primarily the SO4-Ca·Mg type and HCO3·SO4-Na·Ca·Mg type groundwater hydrochemistry types by 2023. The hydrochemical characteristics of the study area are closely related to the mining depth and time. The chemical characteristics are influenced by various factors such as rock weathering, mineral dissolution, cation exchange processes, atmospheric precipitation as well as human activities related to pollution from industrial mining activities.

Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the enhancement of the microstructure and properties of Ag-10La0.7Sr0.3CoO3 composites, prepared by powder metallurgy, through the application of high-current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) irradiation. The X-ray diffraction results showed that the irradiated samples exhibited selective orientations on the surface of their (200) and (311) crystal planes. Microstructural observations revealed a dense remelted layer on the samples’ surface after HCPEB irradiation. The surface hardness of the samples increased after 15 treatments, showing an improvement of 36.76%. This is primarily attributed to fine-grain strengthening, surface remelting, and recrystallization. Further, the electrical conductivity of the samples treated 15 times increased by 74.8% compared to that of the original samples. Electrochemical test results showed that the samples treated 15 times showed the lowest corrosion current density in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. This improved corrosion resistance is attributable to the refinement of the surface’s microstructure and the introduction of residual compressive stress. This study demonstrates the significant impact of HCPEB irradiation on the regulation of the properties of Ag-10La0.7Sr0.3CoO3 composites.

Published: September 2024

The present study was undertaken to evaluate cypermethrin (CYP)-induced oxidative stress [reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in gills, muscles, brain, and liver tissues] and DNA damage/genotoxicity (peripheral blood erythrocytes) in a freshwater teleost rohu (Labeo rohita) and the protective role of vitamin C. The LC50 of CYP against rohu was found to be 4.5 µg/L in a semi-static culture system through probit analysis. Fingerlings of rohu were distributed into four groups (Group 1st served as a control, fed 35% protein basal diet and was not exposed to CYP; Group 2nd was fed a basal diet and exposed to CYP; Group 3rd and Group 4th were fed diets supplemented with vitamin C at the rate of 100 and 200 mg/kg diet, respectively, and exposed to CYP). Fingerlings were reared on a basal and vitamin C-supplemented diet for 28 days prior to exposure to CYP. The results indicate a time-dependent significant increase in ROS and LPO (indicated by time course increase in TBARS level) as well as DNA damage in terms of number of comets, % DNA in tail, tail moment, tail length, and olive tail moment after exposure to LC50 of CYP. However, statistically comparable results in both Groups 1st and 4th indicate the protective role of vitamin C. The results reveal the effectiveness of vitamin C as a feed additive for countering pesticides toxicity in Labeo rohita. The current study indicates CYP as a potential genotoxicant for fish and classifies SCGE as a reliable and sensitive tool for assessing DNA damage.

Published: September 2024

Skin sensitisation is a critical adverse effect assessed to ensure the safety of compounds and materials exposed to the skin. Alongside the development of new approach methodologies (NAMs), defined approaches (DAs) have been established to promote skin sensitisation potency assessment by adopting and integrating standardised in vitro, in chemico, and in silico methods with specified data analysis procedures to achieve reliable and reproducible predictions. The incorporation of additional NAMs could help increase accessibility and flexibility. Using superior algorithms may help improve the accuracy of hazard and potency assessment and build confidence in the results. Here, we introduce two new DA models, with the aim to build DAs on freely available software and the newly developed kDPRA for covalent binding of a chemical to skin peptides and proteins. The new DA models are built on an existing Bayesian network (BN) modelling approach and expand on it. The new DA models include kDPRA data as one of the in vitro parameters and utilise in silico inputs from open-source QSAR models. Both approaches perform at least on par with the existing BN DA and show 63% and 68% accuracy when predicting four LLNA potency classes, respectively. We demonstrate the value of the Bayesian network’s confidence indications for predictions, as they provide a measure for differentiating between highly accurate and reliable predictions (accuracies up to 87%) in contrast to low-reliability predictions associated with inaccurate predictions.

Authors: Semango George Peter , Buza Joram
Published: September 2024

Ruminant abortion events cause economic losses. Despite the importance of livestock production for food security and the livelihoods of millions of people in the world’s poorest communities, very little is known about the scale, magnitude, or causes of these abortions in Africa and Asia. The aim of this review was to determine the current status of surveillance measures adopted for ruminant abortigenic pathogens in Africa and Asia and to explore feasible surveillance technologies. A systematic literature search was conducted using PRISMA guidelines for studies published between 1 January 1990 and 1 May 2024 that reported epidemiological surveys of abortigenic pathogens Africa and Asia. A meta-analysis was used to estimate the species-specific sero-prevalence of the abortigenic agents and the regions where they were detected. In the systematic literature search, 39 full-text manuscripts were included. The most prevalent abortigenic pathogens with sero-prevalence greater than 10% were BHV-1, Brucella, Chlamydia abortus, Neospora caninum, RVFV, and Waddlia chondrophila in cattle, BVDV in sheep, and RVFV and Toxoplasma gondii in goats in Africa. In Asia, Anaplasma, BHV-1, Bluetongue virus, Brucella, and BVDV were prevalent in cattle, whereas Mycoplasma was important in goats and sheep.

In this study, genome-wide association analysis was performed on the growth traits (body height, body length, chest circumference, chest depth, chest width, tube circumference, and body weight) of Inner Mongolian cashmere goats (Erlangshan type) based on resequencing data. The population genetic parameters were estimated, haplotypes were constructed for the significant sites, and association analysis was conducted between the haplotypes and phenotypes. A total of two hundred and eighty-four SNPs and eight candidate genes were identified by genome-wide association analysis, gene annotation, and enrichment analysis. The phenotypes of 16 haplotype combinations were significantly different by haplotype analysis. Combined with the above results, the TGFB2, BAG3, ZEB2, KCNJ12, MIF, MAP2K3, HACD3, and MEGF11 functional candidate genes and the haplotype combinations A2A2, C2C2, E2E2, F2F2, I2I2, J2J2, K2K2, N2N2, O2O2, P2P2, R1R1, T1T1, W1W1, X1X1, Y1Y1, and Z1Z1 affected the growth traits of the cashmere goats and could be used as molecular markers to improve the accuracy of early selection and the economic benefits of breeding.
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in Patients with Acromegaly versus Healthy Controls: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kober Anna M. , Sobol Maria
Published: September 2024

Purpose. Acromegaly is an uncommon condition but affects numerous organ systems. It has been found that patients with acromegaly can experience ocular changes, such as raised intraocular pressure (IOP). Numerous studies have since been carried out to determine whether there is a significant difference between IOP in patients with acromegaly and healthy controls and there is much disagreement in the literature. This study aims to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to establish whether there is a significant difference in IOP between the two groups in a larger population. Methods. A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to access relevant databases and to locate outcome studies. Eligibility criteria included type of publication, participant characteristics, and report of outcomes. Data analysis was conducted with a fixed-effects model. Results. Three articles were included in the final analysis. The mean value of IOP corrected for central corneal thickness (IOPcc) for the group of 102 patients with acromegaly was 15.33 with confidence levels of 13.05–17.62 [mmHg]. The mean difference between the control and acromegaly group was 1.17 with confidence levels of 0.64 to 1.70 [mmHg], which was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion. The results of the meta-analysis indicate that acromegaly is associated with increased IOP. As raised IOP is a risk factor for the development of glaucoma, detailed IOPcc evaluation should be an important procedure in the follow-up visits of patients with acromegaly.

Emotional burnout is a serious problem that affects millions working in helping professions, including educators. This condition is characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional effectiveness. This article provides an overview of research on burnout syndrome in teachers of preschool educational organizations. Studies have shown that burnout is a multidimensional phenomenon with different definitions and causes. Some researchers connect burnout with Hans Selye»s stress theory, while others emphasize the role of unsuccessful search for meaning in the professional sphere. There are different models of burnout, such as the two-factor model (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) and three-factor model (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment). The article analyzes the results of burnout diagnostics among teachers of preschool educational organizations. The results show high prevalence of burnout, especially in the indicators of depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. The research also revealed the correlation between the work experience and the severity of burnout. The article also considers various factors contributing to emotional burnout among educators, such as increased responsibility, intensive social interaction, and undervaluation by colleagues and management. To prevent and overcome burnout, a comprehensive program, aimed at increasing self-esteem, developing self-regulation skills, and reducing stress, is proposed. This research contributes to the understanding of the nature of burnout in the educational context and offers practical strategies for its prevention and overcoming. It underlines the need for further research to study the complex causes and consequences of burnout and develop effective interventions to support educators» well-being.

Authors:   Yaroslavl State University named after P.G. Demidov, Maksurov A.A.
Published: September 2024

In the article, the author will continue to consider topical issues of the genesis of prosecutorial supervision over the observance of labor rights of citizens in Russia in the 20st–21st centuries. Highlighting the determinants of the development of this method of protecting the labor rights of citizens, the author concludes that an essential feature of the prosecutor’s supervision of the observance of labor rights is the fact that that from the very beginning, the prosecutor’s office was provided with procedural rights to protect the right to work. In the Soviet period of history,these rights were not only confirmed, but also expanded from the point of view of the powers of the prosecutor both to initiate the relevant trial and to enter into the already begun process.

The article discusses the issues of forecasting profits and assessing the fi nancial stability of an enterprise in the confectionery industry — the Confil company. Assessing a company as a strategic partner using models such as the deep learning model "Random Forest" (DL Random Forest), VaR, "Z-Altman", Hurwitz matrix in modern conditions has practical signifi cance. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that in a turbulent economy, approaches to ensuring the sustainable development of an organization based on artificial intelligence are increasingly being used. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the study used a set of models that made it possible to make a decision regarding the choice of an enterprise as a strategic partner for business. In particular, a deep learning model DL model "Random Forest" was formed, which makes it possible to obtain a forecast of the company’s net profi t. The parameters included in the DL model were assessed, paired correlation coeffi cients were calculated, which made it possible to assess the strength and direction of the factors infl uencing the amount of net profi t. The VaR model made it possible to calculate an alternative forecast of net profi t and obtain an assessment of the company’s fi nancial risk; the "Z-Altman" model made it possible to assess the risk of bankruptcy of the enterprise. In addition, using the calculated multiple regression coeffi cients, the Hurwitz matrix was formed and a positive value of the matrix determinant was obtained, which made it possible to draw a conclusion about the sustainability of the enterprise as a system. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using its results in practice, in particular, in the formation of a sustainable development strategy for an enterprise.

Определены оптимальные параметры кровности по бурой швицкой породе при совершенствовании скота костромской породы. Средняя кровность коров костромской породы по бурой швицкой породе в племенных хозяйствах Костромской области составила 52,3%. Кровность быков, поставленных на проверку, и накопление семени в АО «Ярославское» по племенной работе колеблются от 16 до 82%. С увеличением кровности по бурой швицкой породе возрастают удой, содержание жира и белка в молоке, но снижаются воспроизводительные качества, сокращается срок хозяйственного использования скота. Отмечены наиболее молочные линии и родственные группы в костромской породе — Хилла 76059 и Курса 3722, белковомолочные — Курса 3722 и Леирда 71151. Коровы линий Курса 3722, Ладка 2537 и родственной группы Хилла 76059 отличаются лучшими воспроизводительными качествами. В АО «Ярославское» по племенной работе содержатся быки 7 генеалогических линий со средней продуктивностью матерей 9901 кг молока, с содержанием в нем 4,19% жира и 3,32% белка, для обеспечения генеалогического разнообразия в породе. Оптимальный возраст коров при 1-м осеменении составил от 14 до 16 мес при живой массе 393—396 кг. У телок, осемененных в более раннем возрасте, отмечены: удой от 7350 до 8351 кг, при высоком содержании в молоке жира (4,07—4,14%) и белка (3,53—3,55%), скорость молокоотдачи 2,14—2,24 кг/мин и самый короткий сервис-период — 138—154 дня.

The article presents material on determining the optimal blood parameters for the Brown Swiss breed when improving Kostroma breed cattle. Installed, it was revealed that the average blood quality of cows of the Kostroma breed compared to the Brown Swiss breed in breeding farms of the Kostroma region was 52,3%. The blood quality of bulls submitted for testing and accumulation of semen at JSC Yaroslavskoye for breeding work ranges from 16% to 82%. With an increase in the blood level of the Brown Swiss breed, milk yield, fat and protein content in milk increase, but reproductive qualities decrease, and the economic life of livestock is reduced. The most dairy lines and related groups in the Kostroma breed are noted — Hilla 76059 and Kursa 3722, milk-protein lines — Kursa 3722 and Leirda 71151. Cows of the lines Kursa 3722, Ladka 2537 and the related group Hilla 76059 are distinguished by the best reproductive qualities. JSC "Yaroslavskoe" for breeding work contains bulls of 7 genealogical lines with an average maternal productivity of 9901 kg of milk, fat content of 4,19%, protein — 3,32% to ensure genealogical diversity in the breed. The optimal age at 1 insemination was from 14 to 16 months with a live weight of 393-396 kg. In heifers inseminated at an earlier age, milk yield ranged from 7350 to 8351 kg of milk with a high fat content of 4,07—4,14% and protein of 3,53-3,55% in milk, milk yield rate of 2,14—2,24 kg/min. and the shortest service period is 138—154 days.

Published: September 2024

Скармливание голштинизированным черно-пестрым высокопродуктивным коровам при среднем уровне кормления пребиотической кормовой добавки, произведенной на основе микроскопических водорослей хлореллы по инновационной технологии в виде суспензии, в количестве 1 л на голову в сутки способствовало повышению среднесуточного удоя молока натуральной жирности. Разница между показателями в контрольной и опытной группах за весь период исследований составила 2,29 кг, или 9,08%. Использование пребиотической кормовой добавки в составе рациона способствовало увеличению жирномолочной и белковомолочной продуктивности. При равнозначных показателях жирности молока у подопытных животных в начале учетного периода (3,48%), в среднем за 120 дней опыта установлено более высокое значение жира в молоке коров контрольной группы — на 0,14 п.п. по сравнению с животными, получавшими пребиотическую добавку. При этом сумма молочного жира, полученного от коров опытной группы, составила 122,46 кг, что на 7,6% больше, чем у аналогов из контроля. По белковомолочной продуктивности подопытных животных отмечена тенденция, аналогичная жирномолочной продуктивности. За период научно-хозяйственного опыта содержание белка в молоке коров из контрольной группы было выше и в среднем составило 3,62% против 3,48% в опытной группе. Однако у коров, получавших пребиотическую добавку, за счет более высокого удоя выход молочного белка был на 5,26 кг, или 4,86%, больше, чем в контрольной группе.

Feeding Holsteinized black-breed high-yielding cows at an average level of feeding prebiotic feed additive produced on the basis of microscopic algae Chlorella by innovative technology in the form of suspension, in the amount of 1 liter per head per day contributed to an increase in the average daily milk yield of natural fat content. The difference between the indicators in the control and experimental groups for the whole period of research amounted to 2.29 kg or 9.08%. The use of prebiotic feed additive as part of the diet promoted an increase in fat-milk and protein-milk productivity. At equal indicators of milk fatness in experimental animals at the beginning of the accounting period (3,48%), on the average for 120 days of the experiment a higher value of fat in milk of cows of the control group was found — by 0,14 p.p. in comparison with the animals that received prebiotic additive. At the same time, the sum of milk fat obtained from the cows of the experimental group amounted to 122.46 kg, which is 7.6% more than that of their counterparts from the control group. Protein-milk productivity of experimental animals showed a trend similar to fat-milk productivity. During the period of scientific and economic experience the protein content in milk of cows from the control group was higher and averaged 3.62% against 3.48% in the experimental group. However, the cows receiving prebiotic supplement had 5.26 kg or 4.86% more milk protein yield than the control group due to higher milk yield.

The study employed a narrative literature review to identify key themes and synthesize findings on irregular migration, offering a qualitative and interpretative overview of the current situation along the Eastern Mediterranean route. The research delves into the complexities of illegal human movements in the Aegean, analyzing statistical data on sea arrivals and apprehensions. The Turkey-Greece corridor's appeal for asylum seekers is explored, alongside contributing factors to the increase in irregular migration. The refugee crisis has prompted Greece and the EU to implement strategies such as Frontex, Integrated Border Management, Hellenic Coast Guard modernization, agreements with neighboring countries, and enhanced border security to address this challenge.

La educación superior desempeña un papel fundamental en el desarrollo económico y social de un país en vías de desarrollo, como lo es, Ecuador. En este contexto, la formación en investigación científica es clave para garantizar la producción de saberes teóricos, metodológicos y prácticos que requiere la sociedad para resolver sus problemas y desarrollar sus capacidades generales. Por este motivo, este artículo analiza los problemas generales de la investigación científica en educación superior en siglo XXI, identificando las fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas que intervienen en el proceso. Metodológicamente, se trata de una investigación cualitativa próxima al pensamiento crítico que se sirvió de dos herramientas cognitivas particulares: el análisis FODA y la visión prospectiva que, desde el conocimiento de la realidad presente, permite predecir, con cierta coherencia, las tendencias futuras que marcaran las pautas de la investigación científica en el futuro próximo. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que, es muy importante entender en los órganos de toma de decisiones que, para mantener este impulso desarrollista y afrontar los desafíos del futuro, se debe implementar políticas que promuevan una distribución más equitativa de los recursos, fortalezcan la cooperación internacional y alineen la investigación con las necesidades estratégicas del país.
Allergic Reactions to Vaccines: Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Bekis Bozkurt Hayrunnisa , Özdemir Öner
Published: September 2024

Childhood vaccinations are the most cost-effective method to combat preventable diseases. Allergic reactions to vaccines are generally rare. However, all vaccines can potentially cause allergic reactions. These allergic reactions can develop against any of the components of the vaccine (adjuvant, microbial agent, stabilizer, residue antibiotic, cell culture, etc.). It is very important to correctly diagnose allergic reactions to vaccines because only 15% of suspected allergic reactions to vaccines are real allergic reactions and the continuation of immunization procedures is essential for public health. Allergic reactions to vaccines should be evaluated by an allergist-immunologist expert and a risk analysis should be performed. Vaccination of these children in a reliable way and guaranteed immunization procedure will also contribute to the protection of both children and public health. This study compiles the diagnosis of immediate and delayed reactions to vaccines or vaccine components and their management with current guidelines.

The authors show that the Fourier transform plays an important role in many applied problems of system analysis. Its properties are analyzed, which directly affect the efficiency of using the optimal decision theory in the problems. The necessary condition for the convergence of the Fourier transform is established, which provides a powerful tool for its use in the implementation of practical problems. Keywords: Fourier transform, system analysis, theory of optimal solutions, necessary convergence conditions.

In the theory of recursive functions, a recursively enumerable (but not recursive) set K = {x |x ∈ Wx } is obtained by Cantor’s diagonal method. Based on Diophantine sets, K is expressed by some polynomial that has positive roots. On the contrary, the set K  = {x |x ∉ Wx } is not recursively enumerable. None of the computable functions can enumerate all the elements of the set K . As a result of the productivity of the set K , a parameter exists for which the polynomial has no positive roots. However, it is impossible to prove their absence since this parameter does not belong to any recursively enumerable set. Keywords: diagonal method, Diophantine set, recursively enumerable sets.

This study addresses the issue of imbalanced datasets in satellite image segmentation tasks, where machine learning models often neglect minority classes in favor of majority ones. We propose using spatial weight masks for the loss function computation to take into account the reliability score of individual pixels. This approach enhances segmentation quality, significantly improving metrics for minority classes. Additionally, a dataset augmentation method using generative adversarial networks (GANs) is explored, showing slight improvements in recognizing less represented crop types in the dataset, and it is compared with the proposed method. The simultaneous usage of weighted masks and generative networks is investigated. Keywords: dataset quality assessment, imbalanced datasets, classification, segmentation, generative adversarial networks, training data generation.

An algorithm for the rehabilitation process is created, considering the constraints of the patient’s rehabilitation program. The identifications of rehabilitation participants, the stages, and the means of the rehabilitation efficiency evaluation are presented. Two families of optimization models are generated to find patient rehabilitation programs optimal in terms of cost and weight. The first family allows for the selection of interventions for specialists in the multidisciplinary team, and the second family forms a multidisciplinary team for implementing the rehabilitation program. Calculations are provided for a model example, where the patient’s rehabilitation program is determined by four specialists of the multidisciplinary team and three codes of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Keywords: patient-centric approach, patient rehabilitation program, rehabilitation algorithm, integer linear (quadratic) programming problem, Gurobi.
The Intersectionality of First-Generation Students and Its Relationship to Inequitable Student Outcomes
Authors: Drake Brent
Published: September 2024

First-generation students are estimated to be a large portion of current and future postsecondary education enrollment in the United States. Additionally, existing research indicates that those students are more likely to be at risk of not being as successful in higher education. However, all this research is in spite of the fact that there is not a nationally agreed on definition of what is a first-generation student. This study uses two large national data sets of individual student course records and registration from the past two decades, gathered from 140 different U.S. institutions, to examine how institutions are gathering data on and defining firstgeneration students, the intersectionality of first-generation students with other student populations that have been traditionally underserved in U.S. postsecondary education, and the success of those intersectional students at their various institutions. Results indicate the high level of intersectionality of first-generation status with other student populations that have traditionally been underserved in U.S. postsecondary education, the contribution of first-generation status to the increased likelihood of a student being less successful in higher education, and the compelling need for a national standard for reporting the results of a large student population that is at greater risk. The need for creating a greater focus on the inequitable outcomes experienced by an extremely large percentage of postsecondary students is discussed.
Aplicación de los criterios de la Ley Chilena de Humedales Urbanos a la ciudad de Coronel (Chile) revela coberturas superiores a las conocidas
Authors: Galilea Ianire , Medel Rodríguez Jonathan
Published: September 2024

Los humedales son ecosistemas complejos con balances ecológicos muy delicados, siendo los ubicados en las inmediaciones de las áreas urbanas los que experimentan mayor presión, que puede llegar a ser irreversible. La ciudad de Coronel (región del Biobío, Chile) se emplaza sobre zonas de humedal que cubren 434,06 Ha de superficie y se extienden desde el sector Calabozo hasta Boca Maule. Por otra parte, los planes oficiales de planificación urbana clasifican algunas zonas de humedal como sectores residenciales puesto que sus límites son, hasta la fecha, desconocidos. El objetivo de este trabajo contempló la identificación y caracterización de estos sectores de humedal urbano aún no reconocidos. Para ello se aplicaron las variables recomendadas por la nueva Ley de Humedales Urbanos (2020), utilizando datos espaciales, procedimientos SIG y observaciones de trabajo de campo. La superposición entre las cartografías de áreas identificadas como humedal y el mapa del Plan Regulador Comunal reveló superficies de humedal, hasta ahora no registradas, etiquetadas como zonas de uso residencial mixto. Así, los resultados sugieren que los instrumentos de planificación urbanística vigentes necesitan ser actualizados y ajustados a los lineamientos de la nueva Ley de Humedales Urbanos ya que se revela como una herramienta eficaz para una mejor gestión medioambiental y un desarrollo urbano sostenible.
