Computational studies on electronic and optical properties of dopamine derivatives structure: A DFT study**
Authors: Jabbar Mohammed L.
Published: January 2022

Dopamine is considered an important molecule that plays several essential roles in the human body, and herein lies the key to this paper on the electronic and optical properties of dopamine and its derivatives, such as quinone and L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), using DFT and TD-DFT methods, respectively. Our findings show that dopamine has a dielectric behavior, whereas quinone and L-DOPA have semiconductor behaviors in the ground and excited states. By computing the optical properties, we disclose that the electronic transition spectrum of dopamine, quinone and L-DOPA are observed in the ultra-violet region, visible spectrum, and (ultraviolet and visible regions), respectively. Other properties, such as ionization potential, electronic affinity, hardness and softness are also calculated due to their importance in sensor applications and sensing.
Enhancing the physico-mechanical properties of ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber via ץ-radiation in the presence of bi-functional and tri-functional monomers
Authors: El-Zayat Mai M. , Mohamed Maysa A. , Aboelezz Eslam
Published: January 2022

This study, uses two polyfunctional monomers (PFMs) namely ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a bifunctional monomer and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) as a trifunctional monomer were used as co-agents in irradiation crosslinking of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Rubber (EPDM). The effect of concentration of each PFM and irradiation dose on the crosslinking density, gel content, swelling behavior in motor and brake oils, in addition to the mechanical and thermal stability properties of EPDM was investigated in detailed. The results showed a remarkable increase in the gel content, crosslinking density and mechanical properties as the concentration of PFMs increased from 1 to 5 phr (parts per hundred parts of rubber). The various blends of EPDM with the trifunctional monomer express the highest gel content and crosslinking density than those with the bifunctional monomer. The addition of 5 phr of TMPTA to EPDM causes a dramatic improvement in tensile strength (TS) of the prepared blend reached to 188% compared to neat EPDM at 50 kGy. At the same time, the maximum TS of the blend containing 5 phr of EGDMA achieved only 41% compared to neat EPDM at an irradiation dose of 100 kGy. The swelling of irradiated samples in brake oil revealed a stronger oil resistance than motor oil. For all irradiated samples, the oil uptake decreased with the irradiation dose up to 100 kGy. The EPDM samples containing 5 phr of TMPTA recorded the highest oil resistance at 100 kGy. The results also showed that the addition of PFMs and irradiation treatment of the various prepared blends improved the thermal stability of EPDM. Finally, neat EPDM and the blends containing 1 and 3 phr of EGDMA can be used as radiation dosimeters in the very high dose range (50–200 kGy).

AUSTRIAN POLITICAL SCANDALS: «KURTZ AFFAIR»
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Schweitzer Vladimir
Published: January 2022

The article focuses on the political biography of Sebastian Kurz, who held the post of Federal Chancellor of Austria till autumn of 2021. He is being accused of abuse of power in order to achieve political goals. In Europe Kurz was considered to be one of the most promising politics, who came all the way to the top over the decade – a stellar career path, which would require entire political lifetimes for others to cross. Without higher education degree he over the few years rose from the position of a mere activist of youth movement of Austrian’s People’s Party to the role of the party leader. At the age of 27 he took up the post of Foreign Minister, and aged 31 he reached the top of the national politic as the Federal Austrian Chancellor. During the second decade of the XXI century Kurz used to be one of the interlocutors of the European and world leaders and one of the main officials in EU.
CRISIS ON THE POLISH-BELARUSIAN BORDER IN LIGHT OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE V4 MIGRATION POLICY
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Shishelina Lyubov
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The author undertakes the attempt to trace in development and diversity the approaches of the Visegrad Group countries to the problem of refugees and migrants from the beginning of transformational processes in this part of Europe to the latest crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. In this perspective, the study of the problem is being undertaken for the first time. The novelty of the study is the comparison of not only approaches, but also the typology of migration problems that the region faced during the «post-socialist period» and the initial stage of reforms. The study of the problem in this perspective helps to understand the causes and features of the approach of such countries as Hungary, Poland, Czechia and Slovakia to the current migration crisis and the reasons for contradictions with the EU’s general policy on this issue. Intraregional migration of the late 1980’s was gradually replaced at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century by the problem of inocultural migration, which could not be combined with the tasks of transforming societies and, in itself, along with the usual ones, required new approaches from these countries, which are discussed in this study.
ON THE INTERACTION OF EURO PARTIES WITH PARTIES FROM THE EASTERN PARTNERSHIP COUNTRIES. PART 1
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Guseletov Boris
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the results of cooperation between two leading pan-European political organizations – the European People’s Party (EPP) and the Party of European Socialists (PES) with their counterparts in the countries participating in the Eastern Partnership program (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine), except Azerbaijan. It is considered with which political forces and why the EPP and the PES have established interaction and even accepted them into their membership. The profiles of these political organizations were studied, including the results of their participation in the national parliamentary and presidential elections and interaction with other political forces of their countries on the formation of ruling coalitions. Information is provided on when these parties joined, respectively, the EPP and the PES, and what status they have today in these European structures. The main provisions of the resolutions of the governing bodies of the EPN and the PES concerning the situation in the countries participating in the Eastern Partnership program and the support of their partner parties in these countries are presented. It shows how the foreign policy course of the Eastern Partnership member countries changed after political organizations that closely cooperate with their European counterparts came to power. It is noted that in almost all of these countries there has recently been a steady desire to strengthen political and economic partnership with the European Union and Western countries in general. And only one country. Georgia is still trying to maintain a balance in relations with Western countries and Russia. Key words: European parties, party system, Eastern Partnership program, elections.
PROSPECTS FOR THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION OF NORD STREAM 2
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Belov Vladislav
Published: January 2022

In early September 2021, the construction of the Northern stream – 2 рroject (NS-2) was completed. Its operator, Nord Stream 2 AG, has submitted documents for certification of the gas pipeline. The Federal Network Agency of Germany (BNetzA) is responsible for this process, which refused to grant the SP-2 operator an independent status. In November 2021, the German regulator agreed with him on the need to create a subsidiary in the Federal Republic of Germany. It must meet the requirements of German legislation and the Third Energy Package of the European Union. Contrary to the optimistic forecasts of experts and the expectations of Gazprom, the start of commercial operation of the project was postponed to 2022. BNetzA’s decision coincided with the adoption of the next US sanctions against the SP-2 participants and the creation of a new government coalition in Germany. Opponents of the project from the Union 90 / Greens party entered the new cabinet of ministers. The SP-2 is not mentioned in the coalition agreement that defines the future relations of Germany with the Russian Federation. The author, based on the analysis of original sources, examines the reasons for the delay in project certification; its role and place in the strategy of the new German cabinet of ministers; assesses the prospects for the start of commercial operation of the NS-2 in the context of continued opposition from Poland and Ukraine, as well as American sanctions mechanisms and confrontation in this matter from the US Congress and the President.
DYNAMICS OF FOREIGN TRADE OF THE NORDIC COUNTRIES
Authors:   Institute of Europe of Russian Academy Sciences, Plyusnin Roman
Published: January 2022

The article aims to identify the main trends in the development of international trade in the Nordic Countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland) over the past decade. To achieve it, the author sets three interrelated tasks. The first is to trace the general dynamics of exports and imports of goods, to identify common and special features. The second task is to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected commodity flows and the state of the trade balance. The third task is to analyze the state and dynamics of the foreign trade of these countries with China, which has significantly increased its share in world trade over the past decade. A comparison of the developments that have arisen in the entire international trade of the Nordic countries and in their trade with China may be of considerable research and practical interest. Based on the analysis, it was found that before the coronacrisis, all of Nordic Countries had a steady increase in the cost of imports except Finland, which is most dependent on Russia in this regard. The cost of exports grew more slowly in these countries, and in Norway, as a result of falling energy resource prices, it decreased significantly. The coronacrisis hit all the countries of Northern Europe, but Finland’s foreign trade suffered the most. The volume of trade with China in these countries has increased over the period under review. Even in 2020, there was an increase in almost all indicators. At the same time, the cost of exports to China grew faster than the cost of imports (with the exception of Finland). But the trade balance still remained negative for everyone except Sweden.
The Juvenile Reentry Mentoring Project: Adaptations During COVID-19
Authors: Hobbs Anne , Dzieniszewska Marta
Published: January 2022

Delinquent youths often do not receive the opportunity to be mentored. This is especially true for youths who have committed serious law violations or are detained for multiple law violations. In the United States, youths with the most serious offenses are often committed to detention, or rehabilitation, or treatment centers. Since 2011, the Juvenile Reentry Mentoring Project (JRMP) has matched mentors to youths detained in Nebraska Detention, and Treatment Facilities. The Nebraska Youth Rehabilitation, and Treatment Centers (YRTCs), specifically, are for youths with the highest level of needs and who have exhausted all other programs available in the community. From 2011 through February 2020, the JRMP developed as an evidence informed model for mentoring juveniles with the highest level of need and the most serious law violations. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted youths in detention and treatment centers, and mentoring programs such as the JRMP adapted to continue to meet existing and emerging needs of youths. The aim of this article is to report on the evidence-based development of the JRMP and the adaptations that were necessary for it to continue to operate during COVID-19. We close with recommendations and lessons learned from the pandemic and ways that programs can resist a return to the status quo.

Deficiencias en la categorización y necesidades de investigación en especies amenazadas
Authors: Cossios E. Daniel , Maffei Leonardo
Published: January 2022

Para tomar decisiones en conservación o manejo de especies silvestres es prioritario conocer su estado de conservación, siendo el método de la IUCN el más utilizado para categorizar especies según su nivel de amenaza, tanto a nivel global como a nivel nacional. En este artículo realizamos un análisis de las especies de plantas y vertebrados amenazadas y de aquellas con datos insuficientes del departamento de Loreto, el más grande y uno de los más biodiversos del Perú, con el fin de identificar las principales amenazas que soportan, identificar los vacíos de información y comparar la congruencia entre la lista nacional y la global. Uniendo ambas listas, en Loreto se ha registrado 226 especies consideradas amenazadas. Existen grandes diferencias entre la lista nacional y la global, principalmente para plantas y peces. La principal amenaza registrada es la pérdida de hábitat, que afecta a la mayor parte de las especies de vertebrados terrestres amenazados. Existen grandes vacíos de información sobre tamaño y tendencia poblacional en todos los grupos taxonómicos, y de distribución en las plantas amenazadas. Entre las especies con datos insuficientes, los vacíos principales se dan en los aspectos de distribución y población, pero también en amenazas, ecología y taxonomía. Nuestros resultados resaltan la necesidad de actualizar la lista de plantas amenazadas del Perú, así como crear una lista de peces amenazados y realizar investigación sobre distribución, población, amenazas y taxonomía de las especies con datos insuficientes y de las especies amenazadas con vacíos de información.
A new class of fractional impulsive differential hemivariational inequalities with an application
Authors: Weng Yun-hua , Chen Tao , Huang Nan-jing , O'Regan Donal
Published: January 2022

We consider a new fractional impulsive differential hemivariational inequality, which captures the required characteristics of both the hemivariational inequality and the fractional impulsive differential equation within the same framework. By utilizing a surjectivity theorem and a fixed point theorem we establish an existence and uniqueness theorem for such a problem. Moreover, we investigate the perturbation problem of the fractional impulsive differential hemivariational inequality to prove a convergence result, which describes the stability of the solution in relation to perturbation data. Finally, our main results are applied to obtain some new results for a frictional contact problem with the surface traction driven by the fractional impulsive differential equation.
Extension of Darbo’s fixed point theorem via shifting distance functions and its application
Authors: Nashine Hemant Kumar , Das Anupam
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we discuss solvability of infinite system of fractional integral equations (FIE) of mixed type. To achieve this goal, we first use shifting distance function to establish a new generalization of Darbo’s fixed point theorem, and then apply it to the FIEs to establish the existence of solution on tempered sequence space. Finally, we verify our results by considering a suitable example.
Neutrality in the Study of Religion
Authors: Whittaker John H.
Published: January 2022

The Archive is a feature of the Bulletin in which previous publications are reprinted to reinforce the modern relevance of archived arguments. “Neutrality in the Study of Religion,” originally published in 1981, comes from Dr. John H. Whittaker (1945-2019), who was the Department Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Louisiana State University until 2006. This article is relevant 30 years after its original publication, as it explores an ongoing debate in the field: the limits of objectivity in religious studies. Whittaker critiques a claim made by sociologist Robert Bellah in order to argue that religion can and should be taught from what he terms a “neutral” standpoint that encourages critical inquiry. The role of the scholar of religion as a researcher, observer, and teacher is one that remains contended across the field of religious studies today.

A New and Expanded Phylogenetic Analysis of Hyptidinae (Ocimeae-Lamiaceae)
Authors: Pastore José Floriano Barêa , Antar Guilherme Medeiros , Soares Arthur de Souza , Forest Félix , Harley Raymond Mervyn
Published: January 2022

Abstract— Hyptidinae, ca. 400 species, is an important component of Neotropical vegetation formations. Members of the subtribe possess flowers arranged in variously modified bracteolate cymes and nutlets with an expanded areole and all share a unique explosive mechanism
of pollen release, except for Asterohyptis. In a recent phylogenetic study, the group had its generic delimitations rearranged with the recognition of 19 genera in the subtribe. Although the previous phylogenetic analysis covered almost all the higher taxa in the subtribe, it lacked
a broader sampling at the species level. Here we present a new expanded phylogenetic analysis for the subtribe comprising 153 accessions of Hyptidinae sequenced for the nuclear nrITS, nrETS, and waxy regions and the plastid markers trnL-F, trnS-G, trnD-T, and matK. Our results
widely support the previous phylogenetic results with some changes in the support and relationship between genera. It also uncovers the need for a new combination of Eriope machrisae in Hypenia and the phylogenetic position of Hyptis sect. Rhytidea, which was demonstrated
to be part of Mesosphaerum. The generic delimitation in Hyptidinae is discussed, and we recommend that further studies with more markers are needed to confirm the monophyly of Hyptidendron and Mesosphaerum, as well as to support taxonomic changes on the infrageneric delimitation
within Hyptis s. s.
Myrcia longipetiolata (Myrtaceae), a New Species from the Atlantic Forest of Bahia, Brazil
Authors: Amorim Bruno S. , Albuquerque Patricia Melchionna , Lima Duane F.
Published: January 2022

Abstract— Myrcia longipetiolata, a new species of Myrcia, is here described and illustrated. With a phylogenetic hypothesis, we show that this species belongs to Myrcia clade 10, a morphologically recognized and narrowly distributed group
of species, which was recently discovered. Myrcia longipetiolata resembles M. unana due to its long leaves, acute or acuminate leaf apex, cuneate leaf base, long petioles, and they share the same area of occurrence. Myrcia longipetiolata differs from M.
unana by its larger leaves, larger number of leaf secondary veins, marginal vein more distant from the leaf margin, lanceolate bracteoles, smaller and truncate, rounded, or apiculate calyx lobes with whitish to yellowish trichomes, and smaller floral disc. Besides the phylogenetic placement
of M. longipetiolata within the genus, morphological comparisons with related species and comments on its distribution, habitat, and conservation status are also provided.
Researching the Researchers: The Impact of Menstrual Stigma on the Study of Menstruation
Authors: Owen Lara
Published: January 2022

Menstruation has been stigmatised through a variety of strategies cross-culturally, including silencing and marginalisation. The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of the perceived nature and impact of such stigmatisation on the professional experience of menstrual researchers. The research cohort was a group of nine scholars from humanities and social science disciplines working together on a research project on menstruation in politics. I was a member of the group and this paper is structured through an autoethnographic enquiry. My qualitative research was interview-based using online video meetings. The data shows that the perceived impact of menstrual stigma on academic research has altered, with older researchers experiencing more barriers in the early stages of their careers than younger ones do now. However, menstrual researchers still experience challenges they consider to be stigma-related in publishing menstrual research, obtaining permanent positions centred on their specialisation, and attracting long-term and large-scale funding. This research details the impact of multiple effects of stigma upon the careers of menstrual researchers and demonstrates the relationship between stigma and capitals. When exacerbated by contemporary precarity, undertaking menstrual research can lead to a feedback loop from which it is difficult to escape, suggesting that academics working on stigmatised topics may need specific types of institutional support in order to progress, publish and flourish. This article contributes to critical menstrual studies, stigma studies, and autoethnographic methods.

Published: January 2022

The Wicken Fen Vision (Cambridgeshire, UK) is a landscape-scale habitat restoration project that uses process-driven, open-ended approaches to develop habitats on highly degraded and drained peat soils of former intensive arable land. The project land is extensively grazed with herds of free-roaming, minimally managed herds of Highland cattle and Konik horses. In one 119 ha area, seven 25m x 25 m grazing exclosures were erected and vascular plant species were recorded from 2007 to 2017. Plant species data were analysed to (1) compare changes in plant species composition and diversity in grazed and ungrazed areas; (2) use plant species traits and plant-environment associations to explore the nature of changes in plant composition; (3) use remote sensing to explore changes in vegetation structure; (4) examine the influence of land use histories on grazing outcomes in different parts of the site.There was a clear divergence through time between grazed and ungrazed areas, attributed to significantly greater canopy height, Ellenberg L (Light) and Ellenberg N (fertility) values within the exclosures. Species richness was significantly higher in grazed compared with ungrazed areas and species assemblages separated through the study period. After ten years, extensive free-roaming grazing has had significant impacts on vegetation structure and species richness but effects varied across the study site because of differing historical land use.
Implementing the updated Early Childhood Development curriculum in Zimbabwean primary schools: Social Validity Based on Practitioners’ Views
Authors: MUZEMBE Hannah Perpetua , MACHABA Maphetla , MODİSE Matshediso Rebecca
Published: January 2022

This article analysed the level of social validity on implementing the updated Early Childhood Development (ECD) curriculum in Epworth, Mabvuku, Tafara (EPMAFARA) District in Harare, Zimbabwe. To address the ever-changing world economy, Zimbabwe introduced an updated curriculum in all its primary schools, in 2017. The updated curriculum provides a framework for the knowledge that help young people to develop a sense of independence and self-reliance. A qualitative method was employed to explore curriculum implementation in Zimbabwean primary schools. Data were collected from a purposively selected sample of two District Schools Inspectors, four School Heads/ Teachers in Charge and eight ECD teachers. The data were analysed using the NVivo software. The researchers discovered that as well as exposing some gaps in the implementation practice, the study revealed some advantages namely, competence-based component, child centred methods, skills-based approaches, change and nurturing of various children’s talents among others. The disadvantages encountered comprised lack of financial and human resources and school basic infrastructures, excessive workload for teachers, lack of Information, Communication and Technology skills and high- teacher: pupil ratio. The qualitative research method used was one major limitation since it was time consuming and, labour intensive. The researchers' initial sample was further affected by COVID-19's onset in the country in March 2020, when the World Health Organization (WHO) advised lockdown limitations, causing schools to close abruptly. The paper’s findings underscored the significance of planning for change in ECD educational programs in terms of teachers’ preparedness and stakeholders’ resourcefulness. These findings imply that teachers should be trained to become innovative and creative in curriculum implementation. Stakeholders are recommended to support teachers and schools with prerequisite resources.

Authors: not provided eaeldwakhly
Published: January 2022

This study was conducted to assess the surface characteristics in terms of roughness of two CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing)restorative material spre and post chewing simulation exposure. Methods: Specimens were prepared from two CAD/CAM ceramic materials: Cerec Blocs C and IPS e-max ZirCAD. A total of 10 disks were prepared for each study group. 3D optical noncontact surface profiler was used to test the surface roughness (ContourGT, Bruker, Campbell, CA, USA). A silicone mold was used to fix the individual samples using a self-curing resin. Surface roughness (SR) was examined pre and post exposure to chewing simulation. 480,000 simulated chewing cycles were conducted to mimic roughly two years of intraoral clinical service. The results data was first tested for normality and equal variance (Levene’s test >0.05) then examined with paired and independent sample t-test at a significance level of (p < 0.05). Results:The two CAD-CAM materials tested exhibited increased surface roughness from baseline. The highest mean surface roughness was observed in Cerec blocs C group after chewing simulation (2.34 µm± 0.62 µm). Whereas the lowest surface roughness was observed in IPS e.max ZirCAD group before chewing simulation (0.42 µm± 0.16 µm). Both study groups exhibited significantly different surface roughness values (p< 0.05). There was a statistically higher surface roughness values after the chewing simulation in Cerec blocs C when compared to IPS e.max ZirCAD groups (p = 0.000).Conclusion:Even though both tested CAD/CAM materials differ in recorded surface roughness values, results were within clinically accepted values.

Coronavirus pandemic has been going on since late 2019, millions of people died worldwide, vaccination has recently started in many countries and new strategies are sought by countries since they are still struggling to defeat the virus. So, this research is made to predict the possible ending time of the coronavirus pandemic  in Turkey using data mining and statistical studies. Data mining is a computer science study that processes large amounts of data and produces new useful information. It is especially used to support decision making in companies today. So, this project could support the decision making of authorities in developing an effective strategy against the on-going pandemic. During the research we have practiced on Turkey’s coronavirus and vaccination data between 13 January 2021 and  28 May 2021. We used Rapidminer and the Random Forest method for data mining. After all the simulations we have applied and observed during our research, it was clearly seen that vaccination parameters were decreasing the new cases. Also, the stringency index did not affect the new cases. As a conclusion of our research and observations, we think that the government should vaccinate as many people as it can in order to relax restrictions for the last time.

Background: The pregnancy complications associated with women over 35 years of age are becoming more frequent. Late or too late remains the thread bearing discussion these days. Multiple studies have reported that women with 35 years of age or beyond are more vulnerable to develop obstetric complications. The present study has been conducted to reckon the strength of the association between maternal age and obstetric issues pertaining to women.Methods: This prospective study considered 217 single consecutive pregnancies which were divided into two groups based on age of patients. Group A consists of 163 pregnant women aged < 35 years and group B consists of 54 pregnant patients aged ≥35 years. The study was conducted at government medical college, Lala-Ded, and hospital Srinagar.Results: In spite of the underlying mechanisms, rigorous statistical analysis revealed the negative impact of extreme maternal ages on pregnancy. We found a significant difference between group A and group B with respect to early pregnancy loss, C-section, antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum complications (p<0.001).Conclusions: Evidently, it was demonstrated that women aging 35 years or above are more vulnerable to develop multiple intrapartum and postpartum complications than younger women in group B.
