Rural resilience jako nowa koncepcja rozwoju wsi
Authors: Błąd Marta
Published: October 2022

Praca ma charakter teoretyczny i dotyczy koncepcji rural resilience („odporności obszarów wiejskich”). W artykule zaprezentowano przegląd stanu badań nad wiejską rezyliencją. Wskazuje on na złożoność tego konceptu z uwagi na współzależność systemów ekologicznych, ekonomicznych i społecznych oraz konflikt interesów. Ponadto różnorodność obszarów wiejskich w skali świata i problemów zamieszkujących je społeczności nie pozwala na uniwersalne i całościowe ustalenia koncepcyjne, kieruje natomiast uwagę na terytorialność i lokalność oraz specyficzny kontekst. Dynamika zmieniających się obszarów wiejskich w zderzeniu z niepewnością i zmiennością otoczenia (przyrodniczego, gospodarczego i geopolitycznego) czyni koncepcję rural resilience przydatną nie tylko do przetrwania w trudnych, niespodziewanych lub spodziewanych sytuacjach, ale też do wypracowania sposobów na rozwój. Oba podejścia: systemowe (system-oriented) i społeczne (agent-oriented) oraz wszystkie elementy koncepcji resilience: robustness, adaptability, transformality mają swoje znaczenie w tym procesie.

Published: October 2022

The present study deals with the preliminary phytochemical screening and determination of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of various extracts from leaves and flowers of Moringa oleifera. The results revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins and steroids in the extracts. All the extracts exhibited antibacterial effect against the tested bacteria with the diameter of inhibition zone ranging from 7 to 22 mm. However, highest antibacterial activity was observed by methanol and ethyl acetate extracts. The scavenging effect of the n-hexane extracts of leaf and flower on DPPH radicals increased with increasing concentration and highest activity was 70.94% and 73.50%, respectively while ascorbic acid was the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (82.91%) at a concentration of 180 μg/ml. These results indicated that n-hexane extracts of flower and leaf of Moringa oleifera have a noticeable effect on scavenging free radical, however, it can be categorized as a good and potential antioxidant agent and could be one of the areas which attached a great deal of attention is the possible therapeutic potential of antioxidants in controlling degenerative diseases associated with marked oxidative damage. The preliminary studies on Moringa oleifera extracts exhibited their antibacterial and antioxidant potential which could be exploited further as future antimicrobials for pharmaceutical treatment, natural therapies, food preservation and cosmetic applications.

Effectiveness of the obligation of keeping forest strips for native forest connectivity and conservation in the dry Chaco, Argentina
Authors: Kliger Marlene , Ginzburg Rubén G.
Published: October 2022

Aim of study: The Chaco Region is one of the main deforestation hotspots in Latin America. Forest strips, i.e. native forest strips that surround cultivated areas, were established by the end of 1980’s as an attempt to mitigate the effects of wind erosion and as a way of conserving and interconnecting the remaining native forest patches. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the scheme for the authorization of new agricultural land in the conservation of native forests.
Area of study: The most recent nuclei of agricultural expansion in the provinces of Chaco, Santiago del Estero, Salta and Formosa, Argentina.
Materials and methods: Landscape structure, forest connectivity and compliance with the obligation of leaving forest strips was assessed in satellite images for the years 1988 and 2015 within a Geographic Information System.
Main results: Forest strips differ from other forest patches in structure, presenting a greater perimeter/area ratio and smaller mean size. A great loss of landscape connectivity, lower than expected compliance of regulations and few forest strips with the minimum mandatory width were observed. Notable differences between provinces were found.
Research highlights: Forest strips would not be effective to conserve and interconnect the native forest patches. In light of new land clearings, other alternatives should be proposed in which the remaining forest persists as few large fragments with landscape and extra-landscape scale interconnection and minimizing the edge effect.

Authors: Serrano-Durá José
Published: October 2022

El fútbol es uno de los deportes más practicados en España. Sus competiciones movilizan a muchísimos deportistas que requieren de los árbitros para el desarrollo de las numerosas competiciones federadas que se disputan. Sin embargo, se ha advertido una carencia de árbitros en las delegaciones territoriales, que podría afectar al desarrollo de algunas de estas competiciones. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer los motivos de inicio, mantenimiento y las intenciones de abandono de un grupo de árbitros de fútbol. Se realizaron para tal fin entrevistas semiestructuradas a 8 árbitros en activo, hombres y mujeres, de diversas nacionalidades, edades y categorías. Entre los motivos para introducirse en el arbitraje destacan la influencia de pares y familiares, así como la remuneración económica que se recibe por esta actividad. Con el tiempo, pasan a valorarse otros aspectos que inciden positivamente en la continuidad en esta actividad, como son: la toma de decisiones, la impartición de justicia, el mantenerse activo, la ambición de progresar arbitrando categorías superiores o la posibilidad de vivir el fútbol desde otra óptica más formativa y educativa. Por el contrario, las intenciones de abandonar el arbitraje surgen tras haber experimentado alguna situación angustiosa en los terrenos de juego, por la falta de apoyo institucional o por sufrir algún tipo de lesión. Los datos analizados proporcionan algunos indicios para implementar programas que potencien el inicio y continuidad en el arbitraje y que disminuyan el abandono en esta actividad.

Apple sparkling wines are characterized not only by the foamy and sparkling properties common to all wines of this type, but also by freshness and lightness of taste, which are the result of a harmonious combination of the taste qualities of fruit juice and its fermentation products against the background of low alcohol content and low oxidation. The aim of the study was to change the main physical and chemical parameters and the number of yeast cells during fermentation – deaeration and fermentation of apple juice and wine. The objects of research were winter varieties of apples Idared, Jonathan, Renet Simirenko, Florina, apple wine materials and finished wine. The chemical composition and quality of fruits and wine materials were determined according to generally accepted methods in winemaking. It has been established that during the day, the decrease in the R potential during deaeration of the fermentation mixture for apple cider occurs within the range of 8-20 mV, and the higher the initial potential, the more effective its reduction. In the first 3-5 days, a decrease in the R potential by an average of 50-71 mV was observed in all samples. Then the potential basically remained at this level without changes. Studies have shown that when fermenting natural fermented juice with freshly introduced wine yeast, the number of cells after 2 days increases by more than 2.7 times, and after 5 days – almost 4.5 times, reaching 31 million/ml. The most intensive reproduction of yeast is observed on the 2nd-3rd day of fermentation. At the same time, there is a sharp decrease of ammonia nitrogen, amine nitrogen and oxygen in the content. A decrease in the content of oxygen and peroxides, in turn, is accompanied by a significant decrease in the R potential of the fermenting must. After 5 days of fermentation, the number of yeast cells increases by 4.4 times with the full use of nitrogen nutrition, especially ammonia nitrogen, as well as oxygen. The increase in the initial alcohol content of the fermented juice to 8.5% vol. reduces the rate of yeast growth.

The structure of the cadastral value, as a fact of the taxable base, has been studied, and an optimal approach has been developed for assessing the value of a land plot within a settlement in order to achieve a balance between the tax rate and the normal financing of local budgets, ensuring the most accurate determination of the tax base, which is the most important condition for improving the quality of control of tax legislation . The article presents an analysis of the structure of the cadastral value, which is the value in use, while it is predetermined by the usefulness of the real estate object, reflecting certain operational capabilities of the object for a particular owner, not associated with the sale and other market transactions. According to the guidelines, the valuation method used by the appraisal budgetary organization is based on the market value, which is characterized by the ability of real estate to be exchanged for money and goods. The determination of the cadastral value is carried out according to similar characteristics of the sale and purchase and is determined as the average market price of a typical object, built on a generalization of the market prices of real estate objects within the selected price zones. Contradictions in the practice of determining the value of land predetermine the need to develop proposals and recommendations for reducing the unit of the tax base within the framework of the minimum value for a settlement when determining the cadastral value of a land plot.

The problem of the reactivity of the organism and ways of its increase, the features and significance of immune reactions in all stages of reproduction, from gametogenesis to postnatal development, attracts great attention of scientific and practical workers in animal husbandry. In this regard, it is extremely important to know the state of a pregnant female in a particular period of her ontogenesis. Therefore, the study of biologically active substances (BAS), which can act on biological systems, regulating their vital activity, is of fundamental importance. In particular, it was important to find out whether under the influence of vitamin A and trivitamin (vitamin A, D3, E) a change in the antigenic structure of proteins already present in the blood serum of animals occurs. Blood serum proteins, as well as other biochemical and physiological constants, undergo various changes in the animal body depending on the action of external and internal factors; they are directly dependent on the function of the organs of reproduction. The nature and direction of metabolism, especially protein metabolism, change during pregnancy with the development of the embryo in the mother's body is investigated. As it is now known, along with the nervous and endocrine systems, the immune system also participates in all links of the reproductive potential, but its changes in this case and under the influence of biotechnical means of reproduction control have not been studied enough. In this regard, it is of theoretical and practical interest to provide the breeding stock with vitamins and increase the metabolism of the main substrate of life - protein, change its biological functions, as well as to study some issues of the relationship between the mother's organism and the nascent offspring when exposed to the body of pregnant animals with biologically active substances. The results obtained in our experiments indicate that the state of pregnancy has an impact on the nature of the protein metabolism of pregnant animals, in this case – in the direction of strengthening the processes of assimilation in the body of animals of the experimental groups, which, in our opinion, takes place especially in the first half of pregnancy (up to 6 months).

Authors: Rao Sajjad Ali , Hendricks Bryan , Gray Amanda , Singh Poonam
Published: October 2022

Food quality and taste preference are important factors influencing the production and adoption of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) cultivars in a specific growing region. There is very limited published information available on the sensory attributes and quality profile of sweet potato cultivars grown in Canada, even though there is a substantial increase in both production and consumption over the last few years. This study analyzed five different culinary treatments on sweet potato sensory attributes along with taste preferences. Oven-baked, boiled, fried, steamed and mashed culinary treatments were found significantly different (P < 0.05) for mealiness, sweetness and for taste profiles. Sweet potato cultivars were significant different (P < 0.05) for taste and sweetness attributes. A non-significant difference was recorded for interaction between culinary treatments and the tested cultivars for bitterness, mealiness, sweetness and taste profile. Expert panel preferences significantly differed (P < 0.05) for boiled, fried and steamed culinary treatments for tested cultivars, whereas, no difference was observed for oven-baked and mashed sweet potatoes. Boiled, fried, steamed and mashed culinary treatments for ‘Covington’ were most liked by the panelists, followed by ‘Radiance’. These sensory analysis and preferences of tested sweet potato cultivars can provide a reference for the food processing industry in preparing sweet potatoes for Canadian consumer consumption and the study outcomes can be used to guide sweet potato variety development for specific quality traits.
METHODS OF TRANSLITERATION OF CHINESE ONOMASTIC NAMES IN KAZAKH ALPHABET WITH LATIN GRAPHICS
Authors: Gabitkhanuly K.
Published: October 2022

Translation of onomastic names from one language into another or their correct spelling is one of the most important problems of linguistics and translation. This is due to the fact that onomastic names are not only linguistic units, phenomena, but also non-linguistic factors (ideological, historical, cultural, geographic, social, linguistic relations), which play a very important role in the development of relations between states and peoples. The Kazakh and Chinese languages, both genetically and typologically, belong to different language groups: one belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language group, the other to the Altai language group; typologically, one refers to isolating languages, the other to agglutinative ones. Moreover, there are significant differences in the spelling of both languages: one uses a semantic syllable and the other uses phonetic notation. The "Palladium transcription system" based on the current phonetic rules of the Russian language does not correspond to the phonetic rules of the Kazakh language. The study shows the ways and rules of transliteration of Chinese onomastic names into the Kazakh alphabet with Latin graphics.

Published: October 2022

The article compares phonetic and orthoepic features of modern and traditional word formation of the Kazakh language. For this purpose, a business trip was organized to the Shalkar district of the Aktobe region, the Aral district of the Kyzylorda region, the Zaisan district of the East Kazakhstan region, where a single Kazakh lived, unhurried speeches of senior Kazakhs were recorded, the speech features of Kazakh youth born in 2000 and citizens of Kazakhstan born in the 70s were analyzed. The phonetic-prosodic level of speech of the representatives of the older generation and the younger generation was considered from the point of view of the Socaptam level. As a result, since the 70s, the Kazakh oral language has mostly observed the norms of writing, both writing and pronouncing the word, and since 2000, new phenomena have appeared in the speech of the born generations, alien even to the norms of the Kazakh language. Such changes in the language do not correspond to the traditional grammatical system, word-formation skills of consumers of the language with a high level of language education, speak of a change in the traditional vocabulary of the Kazakh language, separation from the traditional, national.

THE USE OF BORROWED EMOTIVE VOCABULARY IN TEXTS OF MEDIEVAL ARTISTIC POETIC WRITTEN MONUMENTS
Authors: Seitbekova A. A.
Published: October 2022

Many abstract concepts in modern Turkic languages are borrowed from Arabic and Persian and have free use in the language system of the Turkic peoples. The use of some emotive lexical concepts that are absent in the Turkic languages, including Kazakh, can be traced in the texts of medieval written monuments. Emotive vocabulary is widely used in the fiction of the modern Kazakh language, and in colloquial speech. Since then, emotive lexical units have become the richest lexical means of language, firmly entrenched in our vocabulary. In this regard, this article in the XIII-XIV centuries examines the features of the use of emotive vocabulary in the texts of written monuments borrowed from Arabic and Persian languages, continuity with the modern Kazakh language. In the language of monuments of artistic poetic writing that have come down to our era, the special use of emotive lexical units was used by Turkic poets to glorify Allah, preach Islam, describe the beauty of a girl and glorify relationships between people. The article classifies Arabic, Persian emotive lexical units in the texts of written monuments of the Golden Horde era within the framework of the functional and semantic field, analyzes the continuity with the modern Kazakh language. As a result of the research, the main emotive concepts on the content of written monuments are revealed. That is, the emotive concept of "love" is systematized into microconceptual models of "love", "joy", "regret".

Published: October 2022

Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR) is an intestinal disease caused by defects in neural crest cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Many reports have proposed that miRNA dysregulation is related to the occurrence of HSCR. However, the roles and mechanisms of miRNAs have not been thoroughly studied. The levels of miR‑92a and KLF4 were examined using qRT‑PCR and
immunohistochemistry, respectively. Cell viability, migration and apoptosis were evaluated by MTT, Transwell and flow cytometry assays, respectively.
A dual‑luciferase reporter assay was employed to verify the binding relationship between miR‑92a and KLF4. Levels of PI3K/AKT signals were further determined by western blot assay. Herein, elevated expression of miR‑92a and reduced expression of KLF4 were found in HSCR tissues, and their expression patterns were negatively correlated. Overexpression of miR‑92a inhibited
cell viability and migration but enhanced cell apoptosis. However, overexpression of KLF4 had the opposite effects. Mechanistically, KLF4 was a target of miR‑92a and it negatively affected biological functions by activating PI3K/AKT signaling. These results proved that miR‑92a inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of nerve cells by regulating the KLF4/PI3K/AKT axis.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common type of puerperal mental syndrome and affects maternal physical and mental health and even the growth and development of infants. Paeoniflorin exerts a potential antidepressive effect; however, the functional roles and potential mechanisms of paeoniflorin in PPD are still largely unknown. PPD rat models were prepared by withdrawing hormone‑simulated pregnancy (HSP), and subjects were treated with paeoniflorin and fluoxetine or plasmids. The sucrose preference test (SPT), forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were used to monitor depression‑like behavior in rats. A radioimmunoassay was utilized for estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) measurements. ELISA was performed to detect serum corticosterone (Cor), hippocampal allopregnanolone (Allo), IL‑1β and TNF‑α levels. Expression of the E2 receptors ERα and ERβ was detected by qPCR. Western blotting was used to detect TSPO, BDNF and mTOR phosphorylation. Paeoniflorin drastically increased the sucrose preference of rats while decreasing the immobility time in the FST and TST in PPD models.
Moreover, paeoniflorin intervention upregulated serum E2, hippocampal Allo, ERα, and ERβ levels but degraded P, serum Cor, IL‑1β, TNF‑α and ERα/ERβ levels. Mechanistically, paeoniflorin promoted TSPO and BDNF‑mTOR pathway activation in PPD rats. Furthermore, suppression of TSPO or the BDNF‑mTOR pathway partially reversed the effects of paeoniflorin on depression‑like
behaviors, hormone levels, and inflammatory cytokine release. Paeoniflorin may improve symptoms of PPD by regulating the TSPO and BDNF‑mTOR pathways, indicating that paeoniflorin may be an effective anti‑PPD and antidepressant drug, providing evidence for the future treatment of PPD.

Technological readiness (TR) is weakly accepted by most small and medium-sized (SMEs) companies in Iraq because scare of using new technology. The level of use of accounting information systems (AIS), knowledge management capabilities (KMC), and innovation is not at the required level among Iraqi SMEs, which is considered a possible factor in poor performance. This study looks at technological readiness as an important factors encourage to using AIS, KMC, and innovation to improve organizational performance in Iraqi SMEs. A review was conducted to collect relevant information to identify the gaps in these factors. This study was also considered by two main theories: resource-based view and dynamic capabilities. The results show that SMEs should qualify for any cognitive and technological development and pay more attention to using a high level of these factors. In order to make optimal decision.

Authors: Pangal Anees , Ahmed Khursheed
Published: October 2022

We report the synthesis, structural characterization and pharmaceutical activity of four coumarin-quinone hybrids. The compounds were significantly active against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeoginosa and Candida albicans. Promising antioxidant activity was observed when compared to ascorbic acid. Two compounds, DTBSB and DTBSN, also showed commendable in vitro antiproliferative activities against the cells of human cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, COLO-205, HT-29 and A549 along with appreciable tumor selectivity with distinct selectivity index. Molecular docking studies using cyclooxygenase-2 (PDB ID: 6COX) revealed strong binding affinities for the COX-2 active site. Moreover, ADMET properties of the synthesized compounds were determined using the pKCSM and SwissADME online tools and all the compounds had accurate pharmacokinetic profiles. Hence, the new coumarin-quinone hybrids DTBSB and DTBSN can be considered for optimization and lead development.
A SOLUÇÃO PODE ESTAR NO QUINTAL: PLANTAS COMO BIOCOAGULANTES

Este estudo objetivou aplicar coagulantes naturais (Aloe vera, Talinum paniculatum, Pereskia aculeata) para remoção de turbidez e patógenos em águas, além de avaliar o potencial citotóxico das amostras de água tratadas. Os biocoagulantes foram extraídos e adicionados a amostras de água com elevado grau de turbidez. Todos os extratos apresentaram taxas de remoção de turbidez acima de 80%, e a aplicação de biocoagulantes de Aloe vera e Talinum paniculatum foram mais eficientes do que o de Pereskia aculeata. As amostras de água tratadas com os três vegetais, não apresentaram alteração que indicassem presença de agentes tóxicos. Com o tempo de contato de até 2 hs, não houve aumento e nem redução da concentração de bactérias. Porém, quando o tempo de exposição foi maior que 2 h, ocorreu um aumento de 99,9% no número de bactérias. Aloe vera, Talinum paniculatum e Pereskia aculeata possuem grande potencial como biocoagulantes naturais na remoção de turbidez. Porém, não é seguro deixá-los mais de duas horas em contato com a água, pois há risco de potencializar o crescimento de patógenos que estejam presentes na água. Estudos como este são importantes para embasar o conhecimento sobre métodos alternativos e baratos para tratamento descentralizado de água.
Morphology and optical properties of zinc oxide porous structures
Authors: S. Amitha  , N. Karina  , Z. Ooi
Published: October 2022

We report a simple, reliable and one-step method of synthesizing ZnO porous structures at room temperature by anodization of zinc (Zn) sheet with water as an electrolyte and graphite as a counter electrode. We observed that the de-ionized (DI) water used in the experiment is slightly acidic (pH = 5.8), which is due to the dissolution of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere forming carbonic acid. Porous ZnO is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) studies. The current-transient measurement is carried out using a Gamry Instruments Reference 3000 and the thickness of the deposited films is measured using a Dektak surface profilometer. The PL, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to confirm the presence of ZnO phase. We have demonstrated that the hybrid structures of ZnO and poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) exhibit good rectifying characteristics. The evaluated barrier height and the ideality factor are 0.45 eV and 3.6, respectively.

R. K. Laxman, the pioneer Indian cartoonist whose cartoons have enlivened the pages of the Times of India for decades, comments on the political phantasmagoria of the country through his legendary Common Man, who is seen hanging around in the background of almost all the significant happenings as a representative of the mute millions of our country. The creator of the illustrious Common Man breathed his last on Jan. 26, 2015, having suffered a multi-organ failure. He was accorded a state funeral at Vaikunth Crematorium in Pune. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, announced a memorial to honour the renowned cartoonist. With his demise, the curtain is drawn on an era of cartooning representing a great deal of ethics and balance. The present article is a tribute to the legendary artist whose birth centenary passed unnoticed in 2021.
