INTRODUCTION: 2 nd rd According to Globocan 2020 lung cancer is 2 most common malignancy in males and 3 most common in the females.
st Previous studies have showed EGFR-tyrosine-kinase inhibitors erlotinib and getinib efcacy as 1 line treatment for patients with activating
EGFR mutations. Also, Gemcitabine is drug of choice in inoperable and locally advanced metastatic NSCLC. With the purpose study was
undertaken to evaluate the role of gemcitabine and erlotinib in stage IIIB and stage IV NSCLC adenocarcinoma of lung
MATERIAL AND METHOD: 2
35 Patients with stage IIIB and IV fullling criteria were given Inj. Gemcitabine 1 gm/m D1 and D8 IV & Tab
erlotinib 150 mg PO daily repeated every 21 days, 6 cycles. Post 6 cycles of chemotherapy tab erlotinib 150 mg given till disease progression.
Tumor response assessed by RECIST 1.1. Toxicity assessed by CTCAE version 5.0.
RESULT: Adrenal metastasis was most common followed by lung, bone, malignant pleural effusion and liver metastasis. a median follows up in
this study was 33 weeks. Toxicities noted were anemia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, GI toxicities and rash. In post 3 cycles of
chemotherapy, out of 35 patients,62.86 % were having partial response for primary and 34.29 % (n=12) for metastatic lesions. In post 6 cycles of
chemotherapy there was a reduction in the partial response patients and a steep rise in stable disease patients. In Post 12 weeks of 6 cycles of
chemotherapy more patients having a progressive disease, very little, 5.71 % having PR and 25.71 % were having a stable disease.
DISCUSSION: The median PFS and median OS was 4.1 and 5.6 months respectively whereas Grade 3 toxicity was also seen in gemcitabine plus
erlotinib arm. INTACT 1 trial-getinib in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: A phase III trial
showed that getinib in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced NSCLC did not have improved
efcacy over gemcitabine and cisplatin alone. The median overall survival was 18.3 months and the median PFS was 7.6 months, in our study it
come out to be 8.25 months and 4.5 months respectively. Also noted Grade 3 febrile neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, vomiting & diarrhea
same as our study.
CONCLUSION: Standard treatment for patients with an activating EGFR mutation is rst-line single-agent EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor and
combination chemotherapy such as gemcitabine plus erlotinib is improving survival

Antioxidant and Esterases Profiling of diabetes-induced rat and tissues compartmentalisation.
Authors: Wusu Adedoja
Published: October 2021

Enormous complications associated with diabetes contribute to the therapeutic challenge confronting most of the world, including developing countries. This study was carried out to investigate diabetes mellitus on esterases and antioxidant enzymes in different tissues compartments of rats. Animals were divided into two groups of 10 animals each. The experimental group was confirmed diabetic by a single dose of streptozotocin injection (STZ, freshly dissolved in citrate buffer, pH 4.5, 50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. In contrast, the control group was injected with citrate buffer only. Blood glucose and weight of the animals were monitored for 7 days. Blood, liver and brain were removed, and biochemical parameters determined spectrophotometrically. Diabetes produced various degrees of alterations in antioxidant defence mechanism and esterases activities that are compartment specific. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was inhibited to various extents. While AChE was inhibited to the tune of 39% in plasma, 33% in the brain and 30% in the liver, activation of the activity was observed in the red blood cell (RBC). The same trend of significant (p < 0.001) inhibition was observed with arylesterase in the plasma, brain and liver, and activation in the RBC. Diabetes induced significant (p<0.001) inhibition in catalase, Glutathione-S-transferase, and Superoxide dismutase in the brain and liver, respectively, compared to control more than the other compartments. However, activation was also observed in the RBC of these enzymes except for catalase and nitric oxide. In conclusion, distinct compartments effects of diabetes observed in this study could suggest a new approach for effective and safer therapeutics.
РОЛЬ ПРОФЕСІЙНОГО СУДЖЕННЯ У ЗАСТОСУВАННІ ЄДИНОЇ МОДЕЛІ ОБЛІКУ ОРЕНДИ ЗА МСФЗ (IFRS) 16 “ОРЕНДА”

Published: October 2021

Обґрунтовано необхідність застосування професійного судження під час визначення принципів первісної та подальшої оцінки орендних активів та зобов’язань у орендаря; вибору ставки дисконтування, строку оренди, складових орендних платежів внаслідок використання нового підходу до порядку обліку оренди за МСФЗ (IFRS) 16 “Оренда”. У статті розглянуто основні положення Міжнародного стандарту фінансової звітності (IFRS) 16 “Оренда”. Визначено нові підходи до відображення в обліку орендаря орендних операцій за єдиною моделлю обліку оренди. Згідно з цією моделлю будь-яку оренду, як операційну, так і фінансову, слід визнавати як в активах, так і в зобов’язаннях балансу орендаря. Розглянуто особливості первісної оцінки орендного зобов’язання шляхом дисконтування майбутніх орендних платежів із використанням відсоткової ставки, закладеної в договорі оренди, або ставки залучення додаткових позикових коштів для суб’єкта госпо-дарювання з огляду на чинні договори фінансування у тій самій валюті. Окреслено основні положення подаль-шого обліку договорів оренди. Так, після дати початку оренди орендар визнає у прибутку (збитку) такі скла-дові: відсоток за орендним зобов’язанням; змінні орендні платежі, не включені в оцінку орендного зобов’язання періоду; амортизацію активу з права користування; збитки від зменшення корисності активу з права кори-стування. Визначено основні фінансові наслідки застосування МСФЗ (IFRS) 16 “Оренда”, а саме: відображен-ня у фінансовій звітності орендаря майнових прав, фінансових зобов’язань, амортизації активу з прав кори-стування та фінансових витрат за орендними зобов’язаннями. Таке надання орендарями розгорнутої інфор-мації дасть можливість користувачам фінансової звітності оцінити вплив оренди на фінансовий стан, фінан-сові результати діяльності та грошові потоки суб’єкта господарювання, а отже схильність до ризиків, пов’язаних із договорами оренди.

Published: October 2021

Обґрунтовано доцільність та актуальність формування нефінансової звітності підприєм-ствами у сучасних реаліях національної економіки. Метою статті було виявлення проблематики впроваджен-ня нефінансових звітів у системі звітності підприємства та формування методичних підходів до змісту його структурних елементів. У процесі відбору пріоритетних напрямків соціальної відповідальності використо-вувалися класичні статистичні методи та метод експертних оцінок з метою ідентифікування напрямків соціальної відповідальності, що мають бути висвітлені у нефінансовій звітності. У процесі дослідження міжнародної практики інформування про соціальну відповідальність підприємств було ідентифіковано основні міжнародні стандарти, що можуть бути використані у процесі формування нефінансових звітів. Виділено основні напрямки висвітлення інформації у контексті кожного окремого стандарту. Виокремлено як такі, що максимально можуть бути застосовані для національних реалій, комплексний звіт (метод Лондонської групи порівняльного аналізу London Benchmarking Group) та стандартизований звіт GRI. Актуалізовано основні про-блеми вітчизняних нефінансових звітів через відсутність єдиної методології та структури на прикладі Звіту про управління. Наведено синонімічний ряд трактування сутності нефінансової звітності. Виокремлено, си-стематизовано та запропоновано структуру основних статей нефінансової звітності за такими напрямками соціальної відповідальності, як: персонал, безпека праці, охорона здоров’я та мотивування та розвитку, фор-мування сприятливого психологічного клімату як всередині колективу, так і за його межами (з контрагента-ми), якість та безпечність продукції перед покупцями та замовниками (у розрізі окремих бізнес-процесів підприємства – постачання, виробництво, збут продукції), екологічна безпека всього процесу виробництва. Доведено, що джерелами інформації мають бути звіти з праці, управлінська звітність, результати відповідних спостережень. Нефінансова звітність підприємства формуватиме позитивний імідж у межах національного ринку та підвищить інвестиційну привабливість за його межами.

Published: October 2021

Multidrug resistance is a leading public health challenge that is causing a significant increase in mortality and morbidity. If antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains unsolved, it may cause 10 million deaths every year. Along with a public health concern, it is also a financial concern that would cause 2-3.5% reduction in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a 100 trillion USD loss to the world. One of the ways to combat AMR is to discover new antibiotics.  This study was aimed to evaluate the antibiofilm and antibacterial potencies of essential oil of Nigella sativa. Standard microbiological guidelines (CLSI) were used for the identification and antibiogram of selected strains of MRSA. Moreover, a time-kill assay of MRSA against Thymoquinone extracted from Nigella Sativa was also performed. Five strains, including four MRSA strains from implants related infections and one standard strain ATCC 25923, were examined. GC-MS identified components of essential oil of Nigella Sativa. Thymoquinone and p-cymene, major compounds of essential oil, were subjected to antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. Thymoquinone revealed strong inhibitory activities against MRSA strains. Zone inhibition measured 22 to 44 mm, and MIC values ranged from 26 to 43 Ul/mL. Thymoquinone also exhibited strong antibiofilm activity against biofilm producer MDR strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

Authors: Muhammadi A. , Lahori A.H. , Vambol V. , Vambol S.
Published: October 2021

Potentially toxic metals (PTMs) contamination in the water bodies had been a worldwide challenge. Industrialization and anthropogenic activities have produce and discharge wastes comprising organic and inorganic pollutants into the water resources making them hazardous and threatening human health and the environment. Packaging technology for food and beverages such as juices, milk, and other liquids using paper packets, generally known as Tetra Pak, has resulted in the generation of too much waste in the world in recent decades. On the one hand, it appears that the building of composites from Tetra Pak trash allows for maximum recycling of these materials, while on the other hand, the inclusion of Kraft paper, Al, and polyethylene in the packet composition can improve the functional features of the goods. Tetra pak packaging is comprised of three different types of raw materials: cellulose (75 %), low density polyethylene (LDPE) (20 %), and aluminium (5 %).The present research aimed to assess the potential of Tetra Pak industrial waste as biosorbents to remove PTMs such as lead (Pb), Nickle (Ni), and Copper (Cu) from PTMs-artificial contaminated water. Approximately, 0.05 mg/L concentration for Ni, 0.027 mg/L for Pb, and 0.05 mg/L for Cu were artificially added in the water bodied to assess the adsorption efficacy amended with two samples of waste Tetra Pak OTP (sample product1) and DOTP (sample product 2) as biosorbents. The obtained results showed that the maximum Ni adsorption recovery was received by (83 % with DOTP), Pb 52 % with OTP and Cu 32 % with OTP as bio-sorbent amendments. Overall, the present study indicated that the remove of PTMs from dilute aqueous solutions and using industrial waste material as easily available and low-cost sorbent, that can be successfully used to remove pollutants from multi-metal polluted water.
Language Performativity and Horror Fiction: A Cognitive Stylistic Approach
Authors: El-Sayed Wesam
Published: October 2021

This paper argues that horror fiction creates its effect through exploiting the workings of language in the minds of readers. As a genre that crosses many art forms, it might be tempting to analyze the multimodal vehicles of horror; the visual effects, the jump scares and the ominous music. However, studying the ability of language, on its own and without any audio-visual effects, to instill horror in its readers becomes even more enticing. The idea that words have the power to disrupt the reality of its readers is deeply rooted in the view of language as performative. The paper further argues that horror writers have manipulate linguistic structures in a peculiar way to serve the purpose of frightening their readers. To this end, an eclectic text-based cognitive stylistic approach is employed to analyze an excerpt from William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist (1971), demonstrating how the process of horror creation is both a textual and a cognitive one, whereby the mental image of reality in the minds of readers is manipulated and distorted by means of linguistic structures, hence horrifying them. Results reveal that for horror to be achieved, layers of blending take place in readers minds in order to arrive to horrific meanings textually described. Additionally, manipulation of syntactic complexity and the morphology of verbs intensifies the horrific effect.
Writing Difficulties of Humanities and Social Sciences Learners in Philippine Politics and Governance
Authors: Portillo-San Miguel Ena Josel
Published: October 2021

Writing is a very intricate skill to acquire among the four language skills. According to Gomaa (2010), writing is the most challenging language skill. This qualitative study was conducted to determine the writing difficulties committed by Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS) learners and analyze how they develop a topic in Philippine Politics and Governance (PPG). Participants of the study were the Grade 11 learners of Morong NHS, Morong, Rizal, who took up the said subject for S.Y. 2019-2020 in its First Semester. Twelve (12) learners from the six (6) HumSS classes were considered using the Systematic Sampling Technique. This study employed the Grounded Theory approach to examine written output using codes from the three (3) phases of coding – Open, Axial, and Selective Coding. After the coding process, significant themes emerged and were subjected to analysis. Findings revealed that the most common difficulties committed by the participants when developing a topic are Grammatical Errors, Inappropriate Use of Political Concepts, and Inappropriate Choice of Vocabulary. It is also found out that Unnecessary Shift in Tense (UST), Ambiguous Pronoun Reference (APR), Loose Sentence (L.S.), Sentence Fragment (S.F.), Dangling Modifier (D.M.), and Wordy Sentence (W.S.) are next in line.  Also, participants of this study choose to develop their topics in Exposition, Narration, Analogy, and Examples/Illustrations. More so, participants in this study also found it hard to create an issue when given a Philippine Politics and Governance writing task due to language constraints evident in their writing outputs.
Cross-Cultural Pragmatics on Lexical Cohesion in President Obama’s and President Buhari’s Inaugural Speeches
Authors: Zubairu Malah
Published: October 2021

Numerous studies have revealed how Lexical Cohesion supported the fulfilment of political leaders’ persuasion intention in their rhetoric. The purpose of this study was to cross-culturally explore President Obama’s and President Buhari’s Inaugural Speeches to examine the impact of culture on the persuasive functions of Lexical Cohesion in their rhetoric. Therefore, while drawing on Pragmatics, the study adopted a qualitative discourse analysis approach, utilised an eclectic framework of Lexical Cohesion based on Hoey (1991), Martin (1992) and Eggins (2004) to analyse Obama’s and Buhari’s first inaugural speeches. The findings indicate, on one hand, that although Obama deployed more categories and more frequencies of Lexical Cohesion than Buhari did, ‘Repetition’ (50%) was the most dominant source of Lexical Cohesion in each of the two speeches. Moreover, the most reiterated item in the two speeches were personal pronouns, where Obama mostly repeated the pronoun ‘we’, which had inclusive function, and Buhari mostly repeated ‘I’ and the exclusive ‘we’. On the other hand, the findings suggest that Obama utilised Lexical Cohesion mainly for ‘emotional appeals’, ‘audience involvement’, and ‘credibility-building strategies’; while Buhari used Lexical Cohesion for ‘emphasizing his (and his team’s) personal commitment’, ‘building his credibility’, and ‘demonizing past administrations’. Finally, in the light of these findings, the study has drawn two major conclusions: (1) that on the preponderance of repetition of personal pronouns in both the two speeches, the findings suggest that the generic conventions of the use of personalised English in the inaugural address outweigh any culture-specific discourse practices of the two communities; (2) that Obama’s strategies of emotional appeals and audience involvement that enabled him to ‘speak along with his audience’, which contrast with Buhari’s strategies of emphasizing personal commitment and audience-exclusive tone that made him to ‘speak alone’, seem to have rendered Obama’s speech more interactional and more audience-engaging than Buhari’s speech.
Allal Al-Fassi’s Utopia: Liberalism and Democracy within the Revivalist System of Thought
Authors: Salih Hamza
Published: October 2021

This paper examines the political writings of the Moroccan nationalist Allal Al-Fassi (1910-1974). It argues that there exists a considerable political tendency in these writings with excessive utilisation of jargon related to liberalism and political theory. In his intellectual and political project, Al-Fassi theorises about the possibility of creating a modern state on solid democratic and liberal foundations. Yet, however legitimate and seemingly liberal his theorisation might seem, the paper argues that the formation of a liberal state and a democratic society appears to be a mere dream given the fact that Al-Fassi grounds his conceptions within the Salafist and revivalist intellectual systems. Reading between the lines of his political works, nevertheless, reveals the dominance of Salafist intellections which deem the past and Islam as restorative in attaining a modern renaissance, at the political, economic, and cultural levels.  This work, thus, problematizes three central points: the political tendency of Al-Fassi’s project, his religious and Salafist remnants and conceptions, and finally the possible ideological implications and interests that Al-Fassi seems to defend.

Published: October 2021

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of a new method of contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination (CEUS) for determining the duration of the arterial phase of contrasting liver, kidney and spleen.

Material and methods: We examined 37 patients with a verified diagnosis of viral alcoholic hepatitis with splenomegaly syndrome (n = 11), chronic hepatitis B (n = 14) and diabetic nephropathy against the background of type 2 diabetes (n = 12). The age of the examined patients was 39–56 years. Patients with diabetic nephropathy underwent complex diagnostics, including ultrasound examination of internal organs in B-mode with further Doppler assessment of the hemodynamics in the vessels of the kidneys. Patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and alcoholic hepatitis underwent a multiparametric ultrasound complex of examination, supplemented by strain elastography (SE). Further, a contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination (CEUS) of the kidneys was carried out using an echocontrast agent SonoVue in doses recommended for each organ, followed by an assessment of the arterial phase according to the standard and proposed method.

Results: While interpreting the data of the liver study in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B according to the standard method, quantitative data were obtained for the duration of the arterial phase of 16.4 ± 15.7 sec, and according to the proposed method, 12.1 ± 8.3 sec. In patients with alcoholic hepatitis with splenomegaly syndrome, the CEUS values are 21.8 ± 16.9, 17.3 ± 12.8 sec, in patients with diabetic nephropathy, — 13.5 ± 9.5 and 10.5 ± 5.9 sec accordingly. The results obtained, together with clinical and laboratory indicators can be interpreted in favor of improving the dynamics. Knowing the approximate data on the duration of the arterial phase during for the liver (from 8–14 to 40 sec), for the kidney (10–20 to 25–35 sec), for the spleen (8–60 sec), it can be concluded that the proposed method for determining the time of the onset of the arterial phase during CEUS is more accurate, since it allows one to determine the presence of diffuse pathology of organs at the microcirculatory level.

Conclusion: 1. The exact values of the onset of the arterial phase of contrasting were determined, thereby increasing the importance of CEUS in the diagnosis of diffuse pathology of the liver, kidneys and spleen. 2. The proposed method for determining the flow time of the arterial phase of echocontrast agent allows monitoring the effectiveness of treatment of diffuse pathology of the kidneys, spleen and liver (Patent RU No. 2744825).

Tyrimo tikslas. Išanalizuoti pirmą kartą ir pakartotinai besilaukiančių moterų žinias apie seksualinį gyvenimą po gimdymo. Tyrimo metodai. Anoniminė anketinė nėščių moterų apklausa vykdyta 2020 m. lapkričio–2021 m. vasario mėn. internetiniame socialiniame tinkle „Facebook“, grupėje „Nėštumas, Nėštukės ir Mamytės“. Iš viso tyrime dalyvavo 190 nėščių moterų. Rezultatai. Tiek pirmą kartą, tiek pakartotinai besilaukiančios moterys žinojo daugelį seksualinio gyvenimo gerinimo metodų. Didelė dalis pirmą kartą besilaukiančių moterų nežinojo, kad, žindant krūtimi, dažnai jaučiamas sausumo, skausmo pojūtis lytinių santykių metu, kad tiek po natūralaus gimdymo, tiek po CPO moteris gali patirti sunkumų seksualiniame gyvenime. Didžioji dalis pakartotinai besilaukiančių moterų nežinojo, kad, žindant krūtimi, gali sumažėti lytinis potraukis. Išvados. Pirmą kartą ir pakartotinai besilaukiančių moterų žinios apie seksualinį gyvenimą po gimdymo statistiškai reikšmingai nesiskyrė, tačiau pirmą kartą besilaukiančios moterys dažniau žinojo, kad lubrikantas gali pagerinti seksualinį gyvenimą po gimdymo.

Transparent memory tests with even repeating addresses for storage devices
Authors: Yarmolik V. N. , Mrozek I. M. , Levantsevich V. A. , Demenkovets D. V.
Published: October 2021

The urgency of the problem of memory testing of modern computing systems is shown. Mathematical models describing the faulty states of storage devices and the methods used for their detection are investigated. The concept of address sequences (pA) with an even repetition of addresses is introduced, which are the basis of the basic element included in the structure of the new transparent march tests March _pA_1 and March _pA_2. Algorithms for the formation of such sequences and examples of their implementations are given. The maximum diagnostic ability of new tests is shown for the case of the simplest faults, such as constant (SAF) and transition faults (TF), as well as for complex pattern sensitive faults (PNPSFk). There is a significantly lower time complexity of the March_pA_1 and March_pA_2 tests compared to classical transparent tests, which is achieved at the expense of less time spent on obtaining a reference signature. New distance metrics are introduced to quantitatively compare the effectiveness of the applied pA address sequences in a single implementation of the March_pA_1 and March_pA_2 tests. The basis of new metrics is the distance D(A(j), pA) determined by the difference between the indices of repeated addresses A(j) in the sequence pA. The properties of new characteristics of the pA sequences are investigated and their applicability is evaluated for choosing the optimal test pA sequences that ensure the high efficiency of new transparent tests. Examples of calculating distance metrics are given and the dependence of the effectiveness of new tests on the numerical values of the distance metrics is shown. As well as in the case of classical transparent tests, multiple applications of new March_pA_1 and March_pA_2 tests are considered. The characteristic V(pA) is introduced, which is numerically equal to the number of different values of the distance D(A(j), pA) of addresses A(j) of the sequence pA. The validity of analytical estimates is experimentally shown and high efficiency of fault detection by the tests March_pA_1 and March_pA_2 is confirmed by the example of coupling faults for p = 2.
Automatic control of air temperature in the greenhouse considering the weather forecast data
Authors: Senkov A. G.
Published: October 2021

The paper concerns the problem of improving energy efficiency and the quality of air temperature automatic control in industrial greenhouses. The article proposes a method based on the principle of disturbance compensation using weather forecast data. The plant dynamic model structure is described by the linear 1st order aperiodic link with delay both for the control circuit and for the disturbance circuit. To solve the problem of time delays in the plant mathematical model it is suggested along with the use of outside temperature sensor signal to take into account the weather forecast data for the outdoor temperature changes over the specific forthcoming interval of time. It allows the controller to generate appropriate compensation control signal in advance. The block diagram of the automatic control system of the greenhouse temperature is given. Theoretical mathematical expressions for the regulation algorithm and analysis of regulation quality are obtained and the results of numerical modeling of the temperature control process are presented. The proposed automatic control method can be used to regulate the air temperature in buildings with high requirements for microclimate parameters.
von Karman Correlation Similarity of the Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field
Authors: Roy Sohom , Chhiber R. , Dasso S. , Ruiz M. E. , Matthaeus W. H.
Published: October 2021

A major development underlying much of hydrodynamic turbulence theory is the similarity decay hypothesis due to von Karman and Howarth here extended empirically to magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind. In similarity decay the second-order correlation experiences a continuous transformation based on a universal functional form and a rescaling of energy and characteristic length. Solar wind turbulence follows many principles adapted from classical fluid turbulence, but previously this similarity property has not been examined explicitly. Here we analyze an ensemble of magnetic correlation functions computed from Advanced Composition Explorer data at 1 au, and demonstrate explicitly that the two-point correlation functions undergo a collapse to a similarity form of the type anticipated from von Karman’s hypothesis. This provides for the first time a firm empirical basis for employing the similarity decay hypothesis to the magnetic field, one of the primitive variables of magnetohydrodynamics, and one frequently more accessible from spacecraft instruments. This approach is of substantial utility in space turbulence data analysis, and for adopting von Karman-type heating rates in global and subgrid-scale dynamical modeling.

Stunning aurorae are mainly produced when accelerated electrons travel along magnetic field lines to collide with the atmosphere. The motion of electrons often corresponds to the evolution of a magnetic field-aligned current system. In the terrestrial magnetosphere, the current system is formed at the night-side sector, and thus produces an auroral bulge at night. Due to the different energy sources between Saturn and the Earth, it is expected that their auroral current systems are fundamentally different, although the specific auroral driver at Saturn is poorly understood. Using simultaneous measurements of the aurora, particles, magnetic fields, and energetic neutral atoms, we reveal that a chain of paired currents, each of which includes a downward and an upward current branch, is formed in Saturn's magnetosphere, which generates separated auroral patches. These findings inform similar auroral current structures between the Earth and Saturn, while the difference is that Saturn's unique mass and energy sources lead to a rotational characteristic.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Microphysogobio elongatus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) and its phylogenetic implications
Authors: Zhang Renyi , Tang Qian , Deng Lei
Published: October 2021

Mitochondria are important organelles with independent genetic material of eukaryotic organisms. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome of a small cyprinid fish, Microphysogobio elongatus (Yao & Yang, 1977). The mitogenome of M. elongatus is a typical circular molecule of 16,612 bp in length containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a 930 bp control region. The base composition of the M. elongatus mitogenome is 30.8% A, 26.1% T, 16.7% G, and 26.4% C. All PCGs used the standard ATG start codon with the exception of COI. Six PCGs terminate with complete stop codons, whereas seven PCGs (ND2, COII, ATPase 6, COIII, ND3, ND4, and Cyt b) terminate with incomplete (T or TA) stop codons. All tRNA genes exhibited typical cloverleaf secondary structures with the exception of tRNASer(AGY), for which the dihydrouridine arm forms a simple loop. The phylogenetic analysis divided the subfamily Gobioninae in three clades with relatively robust support, and that Microphysogobio is not a monophyletic group. The complete mitogenome of M. elongatus provides a valuable resource for future studies about molecular phylogeny and/or population genetics of Microphysogobio.
Lire les Beiträge zur Philosophie de Heidegger

Published: October 2021

➤ Cette étude considère les Beiträge zur Philosophie face à la perspective du nihilisme et de la perte d’une signification antérieure garantissant la possibilité d’un discours doué de sens. L’attention porte tout particulièrement sur la manière dont cette précarité du langage se reflète dans les stratégies langagières des Beiträge zur Philosophie . La discussion se focalise sur l’entreprise heideggerienne de dire « estre ( Seyn ) » comme « événement ( Ereignis ) » dans le contexte de la transition du premier commencement à l’autre commencement.
