Authors: Pearce Sydney D. , Kelton David F. , Winder Charlotte B. , Sargeant Jan M. , Goltz Jamie , Parmley E. Jane
Published: September 2023

Background and Aim: One Health (OH) approach can be used in multiple ways to tackle a wide range of complex problems, making OH research applications and definitions difficult to summarize. To improve our ability to describe OH research applications, we aimed to characterize (1) the terms used in OH definitions within primary research articles reporting the use of the OH approach, and (2) the who, what, where, when, why, and how (5Ws and H) of the OH primary research articles.

Materials and Methods: A scoping review was conducted using nine databases and the search term “One Health” in June 2021. Articles were screened by two reviewers using pre-specified eligibility criteria. The search yielded 11,441 results and screening identified 252 eligible primary research articles. One Health definitions and 5Ws and H data were extracted from these studies.

Results: Definitions: One Health was labeled as an “approach” (n = 79) or “concept” (n = 30) that is “multi/cross/inter/trans-disciplinary” (n = 77), “collaborative” (n = 54), “interconnected” (n = 35), applied “locally/regionally/nationally/globally” (n = 84), and includes health pillars (“human” = 124, “animal” = 122, “environmental/ecosystem” = 118). WHEN: Article publication dates began in 2010 and approximately half were published since 2020 (130/252). WHERE: First authors most often had European (n = 101) and North American (n = 70) affiliations, but data collection location was more evenly distributed around the world. WHO: The most common disciplines represented in affiliations were human health/biology (n = 198), animal health/biology (n = 157), food/agriculture (n = 81), and environment/geography (n = 80). WHAT: Infectious disease was the only research topic addressed until 2014 and continued to be the most published overall (n = 171). Antimicrobial resistance was the second most researched area (n = 47) and the diversity of topics increased over time. HOW: Both quantitative and qualitative study designs were reported, with quantitative observational designs being the most common (n = 174). WHY: Objectives indicated that studies were conducted for the benefit of humans (n = 187), animals (n = 130), physical environment (n = 55), social environments (n = 33), and plants (n = 4).

Conclusion: This scoping review of primary OH research shows a diverse body of work, with human health being considered most frequently. We encourage continued knowledge synthesis work to monitor these patterns as global issues and the application of OH approaches evolve.

Keywords: global One Health research, knowledge synthesis, one health applications, one health definitions.
Understanding the True Impact of Microbiota on Cancer Development and Treatment
Authors:   Sunvalley Communication, LLC, Hofland Peter
Published: September 2023

The role of microbes that live on human surfaces — generally referred to as microbiota – in cancer formation, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment have long been disputed.[1]. However, researchers agree that microbial communities, formed by bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa and viruses interact with our own physiology and are known to play important roles in human health and disease.
Fenntarthatósági innováció a szőlő-bor ágazatban = Sustainability Innovation in the Hungarian Wine Sector
Authors: Lekics Valéria
Published: September 2023

Tanulmányunk a hazai borászatok innovációs stratégiáját vizsgálja fenntarthatósági szempontból. Az öko-innovációs és dinamikus képesség elméletekből kiindulva felmértük, hogy a borászatok között milyen különbségek vannak meghatározott innovációs mérőszámok tekintetében, és hogy ezek az innovációs csoportok dinamikus képesség, vezetői vállalkozói orientáció, kooperációs kapacitás és teljesítmény megítélés tekintetében hogyan különböznek egymástól. Online kitölthető kérdőívvel szondáztuk az ágazatot; 234 borászat válaszait gyűjtöttük be a 22 történelmi borvidékről. A kapott adatokat STATA-val értékeltük és elemeztük: faktoranalízissel 6 innovációs faktort (két marketing, egy szervezeti, két folyamat és egy termék innovációs faktort) azonosítottunk. Elemzésünk azt mutatja, hogy a borászatok inkább adaptív, abszorpciós, innovációs és kooperációs képességükben különböznek egymástól, a demográfiai tényezők nem magyarázták a különbségeket.
Anti-CD38 Therapy with Daratumumab for Relapsed/Refractory CD20-Negative Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Authors: Vockova P. , Svaton M. , Karolova J. , Pokorna E. , Vokurka Martin , Klener Pavel
Published: September 2023

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common and one of the most aggressive subtypes of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Front-line therapy consists of chemotherapy in combination with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab. Relapses after rituximab-based regimen have poor prognosis and call for new treatment options. Immunohistochemistry analysis of relapsed DLBCL often reveal CD20-negative lymphoma, which limits repeated use of rituximab in combination with salvage chemotherapy. CD38 is a surface antigen that binds to CD38, CD31/PECAM-1 and hyaluronic acid. CD38 is an important mediator of signal transmission from the microenvironment into the cell. Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab has been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Expression of CD38 on the surface of DLBCL is highly variable (compared to strong expression on myeloma cells), but can be easily assessed by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry. A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of CD20-negative, CD38-positive DLBCL derived from a patient with rituximab-refractory DLBCL was used for in vivo experiments. We demonstrated that daratumumab suppressed growth of subcutaneous PDX tumours significantly more effectively than rituximab. Analysis of tumours obtained from mice treated with daratumumab revealed down-regulation of surface CD38, suggesting endocytosis of CD38-daratumumab complexes. The results suggest a potential clinical use of daratumumab in combination with salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapses of CD20-negative DLBCL. In addition, daratumumab might potentially serve as a suitable antibody moiety for derivation of antibodydrug conjugates for the targeted delivery of toxic payloads to the lymphoma cells.
The effect of phytohormones on the flowering of plants
Authors: Linh Minh Hong Tran
Published: September 2023

During the development of angiosperms, one of the most critical stages of plants is the transition from vegetative to reproductive stage, and successfully producing seeds is necessary. Plants have developed a complex signaling pathway to recognize and combine endogenous and environmental signals. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) play a role in regulating flower growth on shoots. Physiological and biochemical processes work together to differentiate and produce flower buds. The impact of PGRs on floral bud differentiation has been the subject of several publications in recent years. In addition, the dynamic variations in gibberellin (GA), auxin, and cytokinin levels in buds and the hormonal-related signatures in gene regulatory networks indicate a crucial function for these hormones during floral bud development in plants. Especially the flowering hormone GA has a key role in regulating the activities related to flowering genes as well as controlling the activity of the DELLA protein. Abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene (ET) have an inhibitory role in flowering but in some cases stimulate flowering depending on environmental conditions. This study aims to understand the regulation of phytohormones on flowering of plants and its effects on plant development during the flowering stage.

Relative stable equivalences of Morita type for the principal blocks of finite groups and relative Brauer indecomposability
Authors: Kunugi Naoko , Suzuki Kyoichi
Published: September 2023

We discuss representations of finite groups having a common central 𝑝-subgroup 𝑍, where 𝑝 is a prime number.
For the principal 𝑝-blocks, we give a method of constructing a relative 𝑍-stable equivalence of Morita type, which is a generalization of stable equivalence of Morita type and was introduced by Wang and Zhang in a more general setting.
Then we generalize Linckelmann’s results on stable equivalences of Morita type to relative 𝑍-stable equivalences of Morita type.
We also introduce the notion of relative Brauer indecomposability, which is a generalization of the notion of Brauer indecomposability.
We give an equivalent condition for Scott modules to be relatively Brauer indecomposable, which is an analog of that given by Ishioka and the first author.
Sig Sauers Rüstungsexporte nach Kolumbien: eine Fallanalyse organisationaler Devianz
Authors: Dauner Dominik
Published: September 2023

Der Beitrag widmet sich der Untersuchung eines Falles von illegalen Pistolenlieferungen nach Kolumbien durch das deutsche Rüstungsunternehmen Sig Sauer zwischen den Jahren 2009 und 2011. Jene Rüstungsexporte konnten ungeachtet ihrer Rechtswidrigkeit realisiert werden, da drei Geschäftsführer Sig Sauers gegen unternehmensinterne Vorschriften verstoßen und ihre rechtlichen Pflichten verletzt hatten. Ziel der Analyse ist die Beantwortung der Fragen, (a) ob es sich bei den Regelabweichungen der Geschäftsführer Sig Sauers um individuelle oder organisationale Devianz handelt und (b) wie sich diese Regelabweichungen der Geschäftsführer erklären lassen. Eine strukturierende qualitative Inhaltsanalyse von Dokumenten identifiziert die Regelabweichungen der Geschäftsführer als Fälle organisationaler Devianz, welche sich durch die kollektive Anerkennung informeller Deutungs- und Handlungsregeln erklären lassen könnten. Verschiedene organisationale Devianz begünstigende Faktoren könnten sich dabei über hierarchischen Druck, Rationalisierung und Legitimierung sowie Sozialisation im Sinne einer Internalisierung und Habitualisierung in die kollektive Legitimierung ungeschriebener Regeln übersetzt haben.
Kaufleute als Konsuln – Zu den Anfängen deutscher Handelsdiplomatie in Ostasien im 19. Jahrhundert
Authors: Sattler Friederike
Published: September 2023

From the 1840s onwards, German merchants increasingly settled in China, Japan and other countries in East Asia and at the same time took on consular duties for their home cities and countries. They remained primarily independent entrepreneurs, but also acted as state representatives, which could lead to considerable tensions. The article explores for whom the activities of merchant consuls in the two spheres of business and politics proved especially useful, what typical conflicts they encountered, and how these conflicts were resolved. The aim is to give a general overview of the activities of German merchant consuls in East Asia before the founding of the German Empire and at the same time to stimulate increased interest in the merchants of the 19th century from the perspective of modern business history.
Januskopf der deutschen Geldwirtschaft: Karl Helfferich (1872 bis 1924)
Authors: Plumpe Werner
Published: September 2023

The case of the financial scientist Karl Helfferich is one of the most spectacular «revolving door» incidents between academia, business and politics in the late Empire and early Weimar Republic. The historical judgement of Helfferich, however, is shaped by his polemical agitation against the so-called fulfilment policy after the First World War, as well as against Matthias Erzberger and Walther Rathenau in particular. This essay aims at a more differentiated view of Helfferich and draws on texts left by Helfferich himself, some of which are autobiographical, in order to make his position in and between the various «systems» clear. His career in the Wilhelmine era is described and his contribution to the difficult negotiations on the construction of the Baghdad Railway and to overcoming inflation is discussed. The end of the Empire also brought an end to this career of power-based expertise. While Helfferich’s bitterness about the end of the empire was vented in polemics, his sobriety and expertise continued to come to the fore in debates on financial, budgetary and monetary policy. Helfferich’s career is only superficially a case of a «revolving door» in that expertism and his supposedly superior expertise always determined his self-image and his uncompromising manner of appearance and argumentation differed significantly from the habitus of other politicians of the early Weimar Republic.
Childhood Maltreatment History and Borderline Personality Symptoms: The Role of Mentalization Difficulties Among Vulnerable Women
Authors: Milan Stephanie , Dau Ana Luisa Barbosa
Published: September 2023

Mentalization difficulties may be one reason why individuals who experienced childhood maltreatment (CM) are at increased risk for borderline personality (BP) symptoms. The goal of this study was to identify specific aspects of mentalization associated with CM and determine their role in the short-term course of BP symptoms. A total of 253 mothers with a previous mental health diagnosis completed online surveys at three times over 9 months. A cross-lag panel model was tested to estimate reciprocal effects between mentalization measures and BP symptoms and indirect effects from CM to mentalization to BP symptoms. At baseline, women with more CM endorsed more difficulty with general mentalization, emotional clarity, and reflecting on childhood experiences. Lack of emotional clarity and disorganized responding about childhood served as indirect paths from CM to subsequent BP symptoms and showed bidirectional associations with BP symptoms over time. Thus, these may be particularly important treatment targets in this population.
Moral Injury and Shame Mediate the Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, and Complex PTSD Symptoms in Psychiatric Inpatients
Authors: Békés Vera , Szabó Dominik , Lévay Erika Evelyn , Salgó Ella , Unoka Zsolt
Published: September 2023

Moral injury (MI) has received increased research attention in the past decades. However, despite its detrimental mental health consequences, MI has not been studied in psychiatric patients. We aimed to establish the relationship between childhood trauma, MI, and borderline personality disorder (BPD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and disturbances in self-organization symptoms (DSO), a core diagnostic criterion of complex PTSD besides PTSD symptoms, and shame as a moral emotion in an inpatient psychiatric sample (N = 240). We found that the impact of childhood trauma on present BPD, PTSD, and DSO symptoms was mediated by MI and shame; the models accounted for up to 31% of variance in symptomatology. To our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate MI in a psychiatric sample, and our results highlight the importance of considering MI as a critical factor of patient experiences in relation to childhood trauma that potentially contributes to the development of psychiatric symptoms.
Uncovering the Social-Cognitive Contributors to Social Dysfunction in Borderline Personality Disorder Through Language Analysis
Authors: Entwistle Charlotte , Boyd Ryan L.
Published: September 2023

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe interpersonal dysfunction, yet the underlying nature of such dysfunction remains poorly understood. The present study adopted a behavioral approach to more objectively describe the social-cognitive contributors to interpersonal dysfunction in BPD. Participants (N = 530) completed an online survey comprising validated measures of BPD features and other problematic interpersonal traits (e.g., narcissism), as well as a writing prompt where they were asked to share their personal thoughts about relationships. Computerized language analysis methods were used to quantify various psychosocial dimensions of participants’ writing, which were incorporated into a principal component analysis. Analyses revealed four core social dimensions of thought: (1) Connectedness/Intimacy; (2) Immediacy; (3) Social Rumination; (4) Negative Affect. All four dimensions correlated with BPD features in intuitive ways, some of which were specific to BPD. This study highlights the value of natural language analysis to explore fundamental dimensions of personality disorder.

Ensinar Geografia para sempre: encontro com os clássicos
Authors: Nunes Batista Bruno
Published: September 2023

Confundir este livro com os manuais de História da Educação é compreensível. Tomar esta obra como uma introdução ao Ensino de Geografia também o é. Entender esse projeto como uma compilação de perfis seria justificável. Considerar os textos enquanto um resumo dos cânones pedagógicos – eis algo provável. Concluir que existe uma hierarquia no pensamento geográfico-escolar, com autores acima de outros: um caminho óbvio. Entretanto, quando comecei o trabalho, tais pressupostos foram justamente aqueles que não me interessavam, aqueles que eu desejava evitar. Mas isso não significa que eles não estiveram no retrovisor. Importante, pois foi a partir deles, junto a eles e contra eles que pude traçar uma perspectiva metodológica, aventada por certas questões. Cabe-me explicitá-las. Antes de tudo, uma questão de relevância pairava sobre o projeto. Que diferença faria realizá-lo? Ele seria bem-vindo à área ou não? Uma pesquisa que abarque um diálogo entre autores fundamentais para o ensino de Geografia: quem nunca se sentiu fascinado por algo denominado como clássico? Mas há outros argumentos. A Geografia escolar no Brasil, desde que se fez institucionalizada e disciplinar, esteve alicerçada em bases provenientes tanto das pedagogias quanto das teorias do conhecimento. Vinculada a abordagens epistemológicas e filosóficas, testemunhou ao longo da sua formação mudanças paradigmáticas, giros conceituais e influências didáticas e científicas, de modo que não é exagero dizer que seus pesquisadores nunca desistiram de colocá-la na vanguarda. Lastimavelmente, muitos professores tendem a conjecturar o atual como moderno (e melhor) e o velho como arcaico (e pior). Não raro, olham para o passado do ensino de Geografia com desdém, partindo da prerrogativa de que esse seria uma fase histórica conservadora, atrasada e eivada de más práticas. Para a infelicidade de alguns, mostrarei que não é bem assim que as coisas funcionam, de modo que se quisermos compreender a trajetória da Geografia escolar brasileira, uma viagem de volta ao passado é obrigatória. Sem preconceitos, sem estereótipos, sem juízos enviesados ideologicamente: foi o que tentei fazer.

Published: September 2023

This descriptive and cross-sectional study evaluated the adherence of patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) to the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet). Patients who met the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria enrolled. Socio-demographic characteristics, physical activity levels, blood tests and anthropometric variables were recorded and evaluated. A 24-hour retrospective record form and Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS) were used to assess nutritional consumption and adherence, respectively. Of the patients (n=203) 50.2%, 39.9% and 9.9% were non-, moderately and strictly adherent to MedDiet, respectively. MEDAS scores were correlated with body weight (r=-0.147; P =0.036), waist circumference (r=-0.141; P =0.044), HDL cholesterol (r=0.193; P =0.006). Daily omega-3 fatty acids intake increased with higher adherence to MedDiet (P <0.001). Significant differences were observed between non-adherent and adherent subjects in daily intakes of dietary fiber, oleic acid and total monounsaturated fatty acids.This study showed low adherence to MedDiet in patients with MetS.

Paneth cells (PCs), a specialized secretory cell type in the small intestine, are increasingly recognized as having an essential role in host responses to microbiome and environmental stresses. Whether and how commensal and pathogenic microbes modify PC composition to modulate inflammation remain unclear. Using newly developed PC‐reporter mice under conventional and gnotobiotic conditions, we determined PC transcriptomic heterogeneity in response to commensal and invasive microbes at single cell level. Infection expands the pool of CD74+ PCs, whose number correlates with auto or allogeneic inflammatory disease progressions in mice. Similar correlation was found in human inflammatory disease tissues. Infection‐stimulated cytokines increase production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and expression of a PC‐specific mucosal pentraxin (Mptx2) in activated PCs. A PC‐specific ablation of MyD88 reduced CD74+ PC population, thus ameliorating pathogen‐induced systemic disease. A similar phenotype was also observed in mice lacking Mptx2. Thus, infection stimulates expansion of a PC subset that influences disease progression.
Factors affecting adoption of forestry social services: evidence from major forestry provinces in China

Published: September 2023

Analyzing the influence mechanism of the transformation of demand willingness and behavior of forestry social services (FSS) of farmers with different operation scales in the production process is crucial for promoting the modernization of the collective FSS system. Based on the survey data of 800 farmers in 3 provinces of China, this study uses the multivariate (Mv-) probit model to quantitatively analyze the mechanism of factor endowments’ influence on farmers’ deviation of demand willingness and choice behavior on three FSSs in the different scales: fine seed and cultivation technology service (SCTS), forest insect pest prevention and treatment service (IPTS), and timber collection and sale service (TCSS). Our results show that the demand rates of IPTS, SCTS, and TCSS are 80.25%, 68.00%, and 68.38%, respectively. Large-scale farmers are more willing to demand FSS than small and medium-scale farmers. However, their actual adoption behavior is low, and there are significant deviations in farmers’ demand willingness and adoption behavior for different types of FSS, i.e., 30.37%,12.62%, and 44.88% for SCTS, IPTS, and TCSS, respectively. Farmers’ transformation from demand willingness to adoption behavior is significantly affected by farmers’ characteristics. Compared with the farmers’ demand willingness model, the inhibitory factors for the transformation behavior for FSS increased significantly, including common factors such as the scale of the managed forest land, the difficulty in applying for logging permits, getting afforestation subsidies, and the proportion of forestry income. In contrast, these factors had the opposite influence on the demand willingness model. The number and degree of positive significant influencing factors decreased, with only the family labor force positively influencing farmers’ transformation behavior for SCTS. Based on the results, it is suggested to scientifically guide the orderly flow of rural labor, promoting the moderate scale concentration of forest land flow, accelerating the speed and benefits of inclusiveness in rural finance, and resolving issues related to farmers’ loans to improve the adoption behavior of FSS by farmers.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the study was to determine the unit costs of mechanized timber harvesting in pine stands where early thinning was being performed, and to determine the relationship between the cost level and the volume of harvested trees, the harvester model and field conditions. Analysis focused on timber harvesting with the use of small- and mid-sized harvesters. The tested harvesters were specialized forestry machines (Vimek, Sampo, Profi-Pro, Ponsse) and a construction machine (Fao-Far). Terrain accessibility variants were distinguished in relation to furrows between which trees had been planted in the past: flat terrain with the depth of unevenness up to 20 cm, up to 40 cm, and over 40 cm. The operating costs of the analyzed harvesters varied significantly, an hour of operation of the machine that was the cheapest to use (Fao-Far) cost nearly 2.5 times less (37.3 €) than the Profi-Pro harvester, which was the most expensive in operation (89.1 €). In stands without furrows, the lowest unit costs were noted for the Sampo harvester: 8.4 €·m-3. The other small harvesters, Vimek and Fao-Far, were slightly more expensive to use: 10.3 €·m-3 and 9.1 €·m-3, respectively. In areas where furrows were up to 20 cm deep, the cheapest solution was timber harvesting with the Fao-Far harvester (9.9 €·m-3). In areas where furrows were up to 40 cm deep, timber harvesting was the cheapest with the Sampo harvester (10.7 €·m-3), while harvesters Vimek and Fao-Far were characterized by a similar cost intensity, amounting to just over 12 €·m-3. In stands with furrows deeper than 40 cm, it was cheapest to use the Ponsse harvester (10.4 €·m-3). The cost of operation of the Profi-Pro harvester was higher by approx. 25% (14.0 €·m-3). With the current level of the financing of mechanized timber harvesting in Poland (about 11 €·m-3), small harvesters Vimek, Sampo and Fao-Far are cost-effective when single tree volume exceeds 0.05-0.06 m3. Medium harvesters, Profi-Pro and Ponsse, are cost-effective when unit volumes of harvested trees reach 0.08 and 0.11 m3 respectively. The cost-effectiveness of the tested harvesters increased when working shifts were extended.
A review of Botryosphaeriales in Venezuela with special reference to woody plants
Authors: R. Mohali Castillo Sari
Published: September 2023

The Botryosphaeriales order is best known for the diseases they cause in woody plants, as primary pathogens or latent pathogens residing in the woody tissue of asymptomatic hosts. In the first instance, Botryosphaeriales species have been identified in Venezuela using morphological descriptions in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and later, the mid-2000s using molecular techniques. The morphological descriptions of the asexual morphs were initially used for the identification of Botryosphaeriales genera and species. Lasiodiplodia spp. (as L. theobromae) was the most isolated fungus in Venezuela within the Botryosphaeriales and has been found in more than 50% of the hosts in native and non-native plants, followed by Diplodia, Dothiorella, Fusicoccum, Microdiplodia, Macrophomina, Neofusicoccum, Sphaeropsis, and Botryosphaeria, considered all of them cosmopolitan group. Molecular studies, that included DNA sequence data from multiple genes, such as the internal transcribed spacer of rDNA (ITS), translation elongation factor-1α (tef1), and β-tubulin (btub) used on the fungi isolated from woody plants, mainly trees or forest species, reveled the presence of two families within the Botryosphaeriales order for Venezuela. Botryosphaeriaceae family includes the genera: Botryosphaeria, Cophinforma, Diplodia, Lasiodiplodia and Neofusicoccum, and the Pseudofusicoccumaceae family includes the genus Pseudofusicoccum. In the Botryosphaeriaceae the Lasiodiplodia genus was the most predominant in most hosts, and the species L. theobromae the most isolated in native and non-native plants. Botryosphaeria dothidea, Cophinforma atrovirens, Diplodia scrobiculata (syn. D. guayanensis), Lasiodiplodia brasiliensis, L. crassispora, L. pseudotheobromae, Neofusicoccum arbuti (syn. N. andinum), N. parvum, and N. ribis are cosmopolitan species, and they were isolated from native and non-native plants. Pseudofusicoccum stromaticum was found in plantations non-native of Acacia mangium, E. urophylla x E. grandis, Eucalyptus urophylla, and reported exclusively in South America. Lasiodiplodia venezuelensis has only been reported in Venezuela, and it was isolated from native and non-native plants. The presence, distribution, diversity, and symptoms of these fungi, mainly of the new genus, new species, and reports found in Venezuela and other parts of the world, were also reviewed.

Gravity is a constant environmental factor in plant growth and development. Real or simulated microgravity causes stress responses in plants, in which DNA methylation is involved. We investigated the effect of the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5-aza) on the perception and transduction of the gravity signal into gravitropism and on the peroxidase isoenzyme spectra in Physcomitrium patens (Hedw.) Mitt. protonemata under conditions of altered gravity, as well as on Polytrichum arcticum Sw. ex. Brid. phenotype branching and variability of gravitropic angles of lateral branches. The influence of DNA methylation on the perception and realization of the gravity signal was determined. DNA demethylation in the 5-aza presence decreased the gravisensitivity of stolons — less at the stage of perception and more during gravity signal transduction. An analysis of gravitropism under the inhibiton of DNA methylation showed the signal preservation in cell memory regardless of the stage of gravistimulation. However, cell memory about a signal was shorter at the perception stage and longer at the transduction stage, that affects a rate of the gravitropic growth recovery. The different effect of DNA methylation on gravi-induction is considered as an epigenetically regulated process that modifies morphological differences in mosses’ tropismunder under real microgravity in space flight and simulated microgravity on earth. Resistance to microgravity depends on intensity of cell wall metabolism. Peroxidase activity plays an important role in the biogenesis and mechanical stability of the cell wall. It was shown that the changes in the expression of peroxidase genes and enzyme isoforms in the P. patens protonemata may be a result of DNA demethylation. Epigenetic polymorphism of peroxidase under microgravity is regarded as a probable factor of individual resistance of plant organisms.
Economic Space of the Ukrainian-Russian Borderland in the Realities of a Full-Scale War
Authors: Lytvynchuk Nataliіa
Published: September 2023

The realities of wartime largely determine the relevance of the issues of contemporary ethnological, sociocultural, and anthropological studies. Shifting the focus of attention to another research area requires developing new approaches and methodology, creating tools, establishing a source base, and involving the experience of foreign colleagues in studying armed conflicts. The frontline landscape needs a well-founded scientific study of it. The results of the research presented in this article provide an answer to this contemporary challenge. For the first time, the economic space of the Ukrainian-Russian borderland comes into the field of Ukrainian ethnology. Based on field ethnographic materials and observations, as well as open visual sources, the author presents her own vision of how the current war is reflected in the economic space, its individual segments, practices and behavior of Ukrainians. In her judgment, she also outlines the range of aspects and directions that would be advisable to develop in the context of studying this issue in the future. In particular, it is emphasized that, adapting to extreme conditions, residents of the borderlands are trying to preserve traditional patterns of behaviour and centuries of experience in the living space they inhabited before the war, and take care of its functionality. Particular attention is paid to ethnopsychological issues, the phenomenon of topophilia, and adaptability. The article also provides considerations on changing the functions of economic space, forming a change in the perception of certain segments and the creation of their images, the disappearance of some customary rules and the emphasis on others. The conclusions to the article contain the main idea that in the realities of war, economic space exists as long as life is conducted there, and its individual components can simultaneously take on new roles and be filled with new practices.

The authors conducted an in-depth analysis of domestic and foreign literary data, as well as formulated and set the goal of this scientific work. The inoculation of cast Al-based alloy of the AK12 DSTU 2839:1994 with dispersed intermetallic FeCr in the “volume” of the casting mold (CM) during casting by using of Lost-foam casting (LFC-process) allowed to get samples of zero-dimensional cast composite material (CCM) of the system [Al – FeCr]. Metallographic analysis (MGA) showed that the parameters of the microstructure, such as the specific number of σ-phase inclusions and its dispersion, can vary not only along the height of the cast samples, but are also dependent on each other. Mechanical tests of the obtained material showed that not only the height of the composite casting, but also the parameters of its microstructure affect the temporary resistance to rupture, relative elongation and hardness on the Brinell scale. The application of MGA and mechanical tests for the zero-dimensional CCM of the system [Al – FeCr] and, accordingly, for the control casting showed experimentally what a decrease in the average dispersion of σ-phase inclusions from 26.6 μm to 57.1 μm leads to the fact that the temporary resistance to rupture and the relative elongation of the investigated composite decrease from 135 MPa and 2.5 % to 60 MPa and 0.5 %, respectively. At the same time, the increase in the hardness of samples of the zero-dimensional CCM system [Al – FeCr] from 6.923×10-1 GPa to 7.885×10-1 GPa on the Brinell scale is a consequence of the fact that the average dispersion of σ-phase inclusions in the structure of the studied composite decreases from 26.6 μm to 57.1 μm. The results of the conducted research also made it possible to find out that the increase in the specific number of σ-phase inclusions from 63 mm-2 to 263 mm-2 is the reason for the increase in the temporary resistance to rupture and the relative elongation of the zero-dimensional CCM of the system [Al – FeCr] from 60 MPa and 0.5 % up to 135 MPa and 2.5 %, respectively. However, the hardness of the composite casting, which was determined according to the Brinell scale, and under the condition that the specific number of σ-phase inclusions in the structure of the zero-dimensional CCM of the system [Al – FeCr] is in the range given above, as a result decreases from 7.885×10-1 GPa to 6.923×10-1 GPa.

The use of heavy tungsten alloys is essential for many industries, as these alloys are ideal for a variety of products due to their high density. The main problem in creating such alloys is the need to use high sintering temperatures, which significantly complicates the technology of producing tungsten alloys. To reduce the sintering temperatures of tungsten alloys, alloying elements are added to their composition to activate sintering processes at lower temperatures (nickel, iron and copper). The main task in forming the structure and properties of tungsten-based alloys is to ensure sintering conditions in the presence of the liquid phase, which contributes to the formation of a strong framework in the material structure and high density of the composite. Various methods of producing tungsten-based alloys have been investigated and the influence of the chemical composition of alloying additives on the sintering process conditions has been studied. The effect of pressing and post-pressing pressure on the porosity of tungsten-based molds was determined. It is shown that in the pressure range of 200-700 MPa, the maximum compaction of tungsten powder occurs at pressures of 500-550 MPa, which provides porosity at the level of 35-37 %. The difference between the sintering mechanisms of W-Ni and W-Fe systems at a temperature of 1350 ºC, which is sufficient for liquid-phase sintering with a nickel bond, and low for an iron bond, is shown. The process of infiltration of a porous tungsten alloy framework with copper melt obtained from metal-working waste was studied. The conditions that ensure complete impregnation of the tungsten framework with copper at a temperature of 1200 ºC and allow to obtain a porous material are determined. The results of the work can be used to create tungsten-based products with high specific gravity and density, including from metalworking waste, which significantly reduces the cost of such materials.
