Limon Kabuklarının Sıcak Hava, Mikrodalga ve Sıcak Hava-Mikrodalga Kombinasyonu ile Kurutulması
Authors: UYSAL Burak , ÖZKAL Sami Gökhan
Published: November 2022

Bu çalışmada, limon kabuğu örneklerinin mikrodalga, sıcak hava ve mikrodalga ile sıcak havanın
kombinasyonlarıyla gerçekleştirilen kurutma işlemlerinin kuruma performansları araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada üç farklı sıcaklık
değeri (40, 50 ve 60°C) ve üç farklı mikrodalga gücü (90, 180 ve 360 W) kullanılmıştır. Kurutma koşullarının kuruma hızı
ile kuruma süresine etkileri tespit edilmiştir. Limon kabuklarının kuruma kinetiğini en iyi ifade eden modellerin Page ve
Modifiye Page modelleri olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sıcaklık ve mikrodalga gücünün artışıyla birlikte örneklerin kuruma hızı
artarken, kuruma süreleri azalmıştır. 60°C sıcak hava ile 360 W mikrodalga kombinasyonuyla yapılan kurutma işleminin en
yüksek kuruma hızına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bu koşul 24 dakika ile en kısa kuruma süresine sahip kurutma işlemi
olmuştur. Kurutma işlemlerinin limon kabuklarının rengine olan etkisi L*, a*, b*, Hue açısı, Kroma ve ∆E* değerleri
belirlenerek taze ve kuru örnekler arasındaki renk farklılıkları incelenmiştir. Yüksek mikrodalga gücünün örneklerin renginde
kararmalara neden olmasından dolayı limon kabuklarının kurutulmasında 90 ve 180 W kullanılmasının daha uygun olduğu
sonucuna varılmıştır. Yapılan tüm kurutma işlemlerinin sonucunda taze örneklere göre kuru örneklerde toplam fenolik madde
miktarının arttığı, antioksidan aktivitenin ise azaldığı saptanmıştır. Kuruma süresi en uzun olan 40°C sıcak havada yapılan
kurutmada antioksidan aktivitedeki azalma %85.54 ile en fazladır. 60°C sıcak hava ile 360 W mikrodalga kombinasyonu ile
yapılan kurutma işlemi, toplam fenolik maddenin %186.11 ile en fazla artış olduğu kurutma koşul olarak saptanmıştır

The influence of urbanization on the morphology of the Barak River floodplain in Cachar District, Assam
Authors: Nath Apurba , Ghosh Susmita
Published: November 2022

In the present study, the meandering behavior of the Barak River (Cachar), Assam was traced. Flow path length, meander neck length, sinuosity index, and river migration were determined segment-by-segment to demonstrate morphological changes. Decadal land-use land cover (LULC) maps were also prepared at the section scale using Landsat data (1990–2020) validated with the Kappa coefficient to characterize changes along alluvial floodplains. Urban growth and agricultural activities affect river morphology, especially where intensive agriculture was recorded, according to LULC studies. Due to urbanization, forestation constantly decreased, causing river variability. According to the results of the present study, river migration is very slow between Sec 1 and Sec 3. In terms of river stability, the parts are more stable, particularly Sec 1, which features less urbanization and agricultural activity than the other sections. The most vulnerable segments within the study area were considered to be Sec 2 and 4. There is a rather large amount of migration within sections, especially segments CC and GG. The river segments became more vulnerable as a new oxbow lake was formed and LULC changed over a decade. This stretch of Barak is characterized by a broad alluvial floodplain and is shifting since this study applies to various meandering types.

Authors: Wang Wenjia , Wang Zhongjing
Published: November 2022

We adopted a spectral clustering algorithm to divide the document co-citation network of 1,776 papers in the field of Lancang-Mekong water, and 14 clusters were identified. For each cluster, the top-cited references construct the knowledge base, and the most-coverage cities are taken as the research frontier. Three indicators, namely betweenness centrality, citation burstness strength, and Sigma, were used to identify the research outputs with pioneering and transformative value. The changes in the research topics and hotspots are closely related to the planning, construction, and operation progress of hydropower engineering, that affected by the gaming results of all parties. The 2009–2010 is an important time boundary, with the original research hotspots including the impact of upstream reservoirs on the hydrological regime and sediment (Clu#3) and arsenic contamination of groundwater in the Lower Mekong (Clu#4) that obtained periodical achievements and reached consensus to some extent around 2008, and the new research boom turns to the Tonle Sap Lake and flood pulse (Clu#2) in short-term characterized literatures with the highest burstness strength mainly concentrated around 2012.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and has engrossed researchers'
attention toward its detection and prevention at early stages. Primarily associated with genetic and environmental
risk factors, the disease has also shown its emergence due to dysbiosis in microbiota. The microbiota
not only plays a role in modulating the metabolisms of metastatic tissue but also has a keen role in cancer therapy.
The immune cells are responsible for secreting various chemokines and cytokines, and activating pattern
recognition receptors by different microbes can lead to the trail by which these cells regulate cancer. Furthermore,
mixed immune reactions involving NK cells, tumor-associated macrophages, and lymphocytes have
shown their connection with the microbial counterpart of the disease. The microbes like Bacteroides fragilis,
Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Enterococcus faecalis and their metabolites have engendered inflammatory reactions
in the tumor microenvironment. Hence the interplay between immune cells and various microbes is utilized
to study the changing metastasis stage. Targeting either immune cells or microbiota could not serve as a
key to tackling this deadly disorder. However, harnessing their complementation towards the disease can be a
powerful weapon for developing therapy and diagnostic/prognostic markers. In this review, we have discussed
various immune reactions and microbiome interplay in CRC, intending to evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy
and immunotherapy and their parallel relationship.

Irradiation
Authors: Sammi Heena , Mohanta Manish , Sharma Bhagwati , Sardana Neha
Published: November 2022

Background:

The coalescence of Au nanoparticles embedded in the silica gel matrix
was observed by E-beam irradiation in a transmission electron microscope.

Methods:

It was examined that interparticle spacing between nanoparticles was reduced after
incorporation into the matrix and particles came close to each other. TEM studies have shown
that during E-beam irradiation ~13 nm Au nanoparticles contacted with each other along with
the shrinkage of the silica aerogel or as well as the removal of surfactant layer, and transformed
into different shapes of particles such as dumbbell and chain-like particles as per the interparticle
gap.

Results:

This nanoparticle-aerogel matrix has the potential for applications in sensing, nonlinear
optics, and catalysis.

Conclusion:

This work enhances the understanding of the role of silica aerogel and E-beam
irradiation in directing the coalescence of nanoparticles.

Artemisia
Authors: Patel Dinesh Kumar
Published: November 2022

Herbal medicine and its derived products have been used in the medicine and
nutraceutical sectors for the treatment of human disorders and associated secondary
complications. Plant-derived products play an important role in our daily life due to their
medicinal properties and pharmacological activities. The attention of scientists to natural products
has increased due to their significant biological activities. Flavonoids represent one of the most
important phytocompounds present in the higher plants, common fruits, vegetables, herbs, wine,
juices, and dried fruits. Flavonoids exert potent antioxidant activity by blocking and scavenging
free radicals. Cirsilineol, also called 4',5-dihydroxy-3',6,7-trimethoxyflavone, is an active
phytochemical of Artemisia vestita, Artemisia monosperma, Artemisia asiatica, and Agrostis
gigantea. Medicinal importance and pharmacological activities of cirsilineol have been
investigated in the present work with their analytical aspects in order to know the biological
importance of cirsilineol in medicine. Literature data on cirsilineol were collected and analyzed
in the present work to study its therapeutic potential against various human disorders and
associated secondary complications. Scientific data were collected from Google, Google Scholar,
PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus and analyzed in the present work using the term herbal
medicine, flavonoid and cirsilineol. Medicinal plants containing a significant amount of
cirsilineol have biological applications in medicine due to their pharmacological activities. This
present work signifies the biological importance of cirsilineol in medicine as it has antiproliferative,
gastroprotective, anti-Helicobacter pylori, anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant activities.
Further therapeutic effectiveness of cirsilineol against different types of cancers, including breast
carcinoma and lung carcinoma, has been discussed in the present work. The biological importance
of cirsilineol against allergic rhinitis, inflammation, coronavirus, immune system, renal cellular
membrane and protein glycation has also been discussed in the present work. However, the
importance of analytical methods for the isolation and identification of cirsilineol in medicine has
also been analyzed. This work aimed to summarize the health-beneficial aspects of cirsilineol in
medicine which will be beneficial to explore the further therapeutic effectiveness of cirsilineol
for the treatment of various forms of human disorders.

Published: November 2022

Background:

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are among the most common chronic ulcers and complications of hospitalization.

Objective:

The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of hospital-acquired PUs and their grades in trauma patients, comparing demographic characteristics, clinical features, and outcomes among patients without and with PUs referred to a trauma center in the North of Iran.

Methods:

In a retrospective study, 410 patients with trauma referred to a trauma center in the North of Iran were enrolled. Data were collected using a simple random sampling from March 2019 to September 2019.

Results:

The prevalence of PU in patients with trauma was 27.6%. Grade III (35.5%) and grade I (3.5%) wounds had the highest and lowest frequency of PU, respectively (P<0.001). The mean age of patients with PU was higher than patients without PU (61.73 vs. 47.71 years, P<0.001). The mean hemoglobin level of patients with PU was lower than patients without PU (9.93 vs. 12.25, P<0.001). PUs were more common in smokers compared to non-smokers (P<0.001), with a history of PU (P<0.001), a history of diabetes mellitus (P<0.001), and a history of hypertension (P<0.001). The mean length of stay in the hospital for patients with PU was higher than for patients without PU (13.02 vs. 5.54 days, P<0.001). 74.3% of people with PUs were completely immobile (P<0.001), and 60% of them had mild brain damage (GCS of 13 to 15). Also, the number of people with severe and moderate brain injury among PUs patients was 15% and 24.7%, respectively (P<0.001). Mobility, brain damage, Hemoglobin rate and smoking status were risk factors for pressure ulcers.

Conclusion:

Therefore, it is recommended that health managers and policymakers develop care and treatment plans by considering these risk factors.
Personal and Environmental Risk Factors of Work-Related Stress: A Cross-Sectional Study among Female Workers of a Textile Industry in Indonesia
Authors: Setyawan Haris , Denny Hanifa M. , Nurjazuli Nurjazuli , Dewi Endah Kumala
Published: November 2022

Background:

In 2017, the prevalence of work-related stress reached 10.7% of the 792 million population. This work-related stress is common in the textile industry, characterized by many environmental risk factors coming from the weaving processes. The stress problem is discussed in various countries worldwide.

Objective:

The study aimed to investigate the personal and environmental risk factors for work-related stress in textile industry workers.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted in a textile factory weaving section in Solo, Indonesia. The subjects of this study were 188 female weaving operators that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sound level meter was operated to measure the environmental noise, while environmental working conditions, work experience, social support, and work-related stress were measured using questionnaires. Furthermore, the Somers' Delta correlation was used to analyze the relationship between personal and environmental risk factors for work-related stress.

Results:

Surprisingly, this study found no significant correlation between personal and environmental risk factors (independent variables) with work-related stress (dependent variables). In personal factors, most of the workers are late adulthood (36-45 years old), the length of working dominated more than ten years (90.42%), with most of them having senior high school education (58.51%). In terms of environmental risk factors, most of the workers have good working environment conditions (51.6%); are well experienced in weaving tasks (54.3%), with a high social support category (58%).

Conclusion:

Although some previous studies indicated that personal factors, working conditions, and social support could trigger stress among workers, this study found no correlation between the independent and the dependent variables.
Event-related states in secondary predication
Authors: Bosque Ignacio
Published: November 2022

Analyses of secondary predication based on the aspectual properties of predicative complements are almost standard today. This paper shows that these approaches are not restrictive enough and make a large number of incorrect predictions. It also shows that the meaning of the main (or primary) predicate is essential to restrict the secondary one. Throughout the text, a pragmatically based analysis of the necessary restrictions is compared with one grounded on semantic paradigms, and several examples are proposed of how the latter may be articulated and developed. Event-related states in secondary predication are shown to be necessary, and are claimed to follow from a series if fine-grained semantic notions crucially related to the meaning of the primary verb.

Authors: Mahindroo Nikhil , Srivastava Manjari , Naik Vidya
Published: November 2022

The World Health Organization (WHO) encourages using evidence-based traditional yoga and meditation practices for the promotion of mental health and well-being. This study intends to examine the influence of three Indian meditation practices, i.e., Vipassana mindfulness meditation, Raja Yoga and Sudarshan Kriya Yoga, by employing a cross-sectional design. 168 healthy adults - 84 meditators (n=28 for each practice) and 84 non-meditators – had voluntarily participated. Meditators reported significantly higher subjective well-being (satisfaction with life, positive affect), psychological well-being (flourishing), presence of meaning in life, and character strengths (hope, gratitude, curiosity, zest and love), and significantly lower negative affect as compared to non-meditators. The medium to large effect sizes (Cohen’s d: .572 to .955), except for zest, were marked with a significant association (r: |.245 to .487|, p <.05) with the duration pof meditation, thereby signifying enhanced benefits of sustained practice. 60.2% of the variance in flourishing was explained by satisfaction in life, positive affect, hope, gratitude and presence of meaning. These evidence-based universal practices accessible across the globe and acceptable to people of all ages and backgrounds are worthy targets of rigorous research, adoption at the workplace and widespread dissemination to further SDG 3 – ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
Factors Determining Sustainable Consumption Behaviour: A Guiding Framework from Literature
Authors: Kharbanda Suman . , Singh Netra Pal
Published: November 2022

One of the most pressing issues facing the world today is that of rapid degradation of the environment caused by the incessant use of natural resources for satisfying human material needs. A solution to this lies in transitioning from consuming conventional to eco-friendly products which have the least adverse impact on the environment. This study has attempted to identify the factors that determine or impact this sustainable consumption. Drawing conclusions from the extant literature, this study has listed all the determinants of sustainable consumption studied by researchers in different parts of the world in the last decade. Thirty-two factors, segregated into five broad categories viz. Endogenous, Exogenous, Situational, Product Attributes, and Demographic have been identified. It is clear that the factors work individually or in combination with each other to impact sustainable consumption behaviour, directly or indirectly, and sometimes act as moderating and mediating variables. This study shall provide pointers for future research to understand consumer behaviour concerning green products. The findings of this comprehensive study shall guide marketers and policymakers in formulating strategies to promote green consumption, in any part of the world. This paper is divided into four sections. The first section gives an introduction and lists out the research questions which the authors have attempted to answer in this study. The second section outlines the research methodology used. All the factors or determinants have been discussed in the third section. The paper concludes by giving future research prospects the current study opens up and its contribution in the form of policy recommendations.

Authors: Chauhan Abhay Singh , Nathani Navita , Singh Shiv Kumar , Joshi Nishant .
Published: November 2022

The present study contributes to the literature by investigating the impact of E-Payment System on Currency in circulation after facing three major reforms i.e., Demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee note, implementation of GST and Current pandemic (Covid-19) situation. Results imply that with the increase in the volume of all the respective electronic payment systems the currency in circulation (in physical form) got minimized in the economy. Moreover, NEFT shows much higher influence on currency in circulation as compare to RTGS and IMPS but PPI’s shows the highest influence on currency in circulation from the selected E-Payment systems. Furthermore, Vector Autoregressive model suggests, RTGS, IMPS, NEFT, CARDS (POS), PPI’s, M-Banking are expected to increase whereas NACH is expected to observe a downfall in the near future.

Authors: Kumari Sudesh , Kumar Vibhash , Singh Ajay Kumar , Singh Bhavana
Published: November 2022

This research studied the inter-relationship between spirituality at work, attitudinal outcomes, job satisfaction, organisational commitment, job involvement, and a behavioural outcome - job performance. The study purported to establish the mediating role of attitudinal outcomes on the relationship between spirituality at work and behavioural outcome. We employed a survey methodology and standardised instruments to assess the study’s constructs. Employees from information technology, banking, and higher education formed part of the study sample (n=425). We found a positive and significant association between spirituality at work and attitudinal outcomes; we also found a significant association between spirituality at work and job performance. The serial mediating effect of Job Involvement→Job Satisfaction→Organisational Commitment on the relationship between spirituality at work and job performance was established with the aid of PLS-SEM. This study validates the unique relationship of job involvement, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment mediating the relationship between spirituality at work and job performance and posits further workplace spirituality theory growth.
Ploidy level of goldenberry, Physalis peruviana, plants obtained by anther culture
Authors: Sánchez-Betancourt Erika , Núñez Zarantes Víctor Manuel
Published: November 2022

The goldenberry, Physalis peruviana L., is an important fruit in Colombia due to its export value and nutritional quality. However, commercial crops face challenges of fruit heterogeneity and the presence of diseases that reduce fruit yield and quality. These drawbacks could be handled through different breeding methods to develop uniform cultivars, for example, through anther culture, which is used to rapidly produce homozygous lines. However, the ploidy level may change when using this technique. Therefore, in this study, the level of ploidy of parental and the plants obtained by anther culture was determined by cytogenetics, flow cytometry, and single-simple repeat or microsatellites (SSR).Additionally, the homozygous condition of obtained plants and the degree of heterozygosity of parental plants were evaluated using SSR. Cytogenetic analysis showed parental plants with 48 chromosomes and anther culture generated plants with 24, 32 and 48 chromosomes, and mixoploids and average nuclear DNA content between 5.04 and 20.08 pg. Diploid, tetraploid, hexaploidy, and octoploid plants were identified by flow cytometry; the highest levels of ploidy (6x and 8x) correspond to mixoploid plants found by cytogenetics. The SSRs did not allow identifying ploidy due to the lack of a particular band pattern, however, they showed heterozygosity in most of the plants obtained by anther culture. It was concluded that the anther culture modified the ploidy level with respect to the parental plants, and that flow cytometry is efficient, precise, and less laborious, compared to cytogenetics, to determine the ploidy level of goldenberry in the laboratory.
Patient Perspectives on Value Dimensions of Lung Cancer Care: Cross-sectional Web-Based Survey
Authors: Varriale Pasquale , Müller Borna , Katz Grégory , Dallas Lorraine , Aguaron Alfonso , Azoulai Marion , Girard Nicolas
Published: November 2022

Background

While the lung cancer (LC) treatment landscape has rapidly evolved in recent years, easing symptom burden and treatment side effects remain central considerations in disease control.

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess the relative importance of dimensions of LC care to patients, and to explore the disease burden, including socioeconomic aspects not commonly covered in patient-reported outcomes instruments.

Methods

A questionnaire was sent to patients with LC and their caregivers to rate the value of a diverse set of quality of life dimensions in care, to evaluate communication between health care professionals (HCPs) and patients, and to explore the economic impact on respondents. The survey included questions on the dimensions of care covered by patient-reported outcomes instruments for quality-of-life evaluation (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Lung scale, EQ-5D, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer’s Core Quality of Life questionnaire, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer’s Core Quality of Life in lung cancer 13-item questionnaire), as well as the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) standard set of patient-centered outcomes for LC. The survey respondents were participants on Carenity’s patient community platform, living either in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, or Spain.

Results

The survey included 150 respondents (115 patients and 35 caregivers). “Physical well-being” and “end-of-life care” (median scores of 9.6, IQR 7.7-10, and 9.7, IQR 8.0-10, on a 10-point scale) were rated highest among the different value dimensions assessed. “Physical well-being and functioning” was the dimension most frequently discussed with health care professionals (82/150, 55%), while only (17/100, 17%) reported discussing “end-of-life care.” After diagnosis, 43% (49/112) of patients younger than 65 years stopped working. Among respondents who indicated their monthly household income before and after diagnosis, 55% (38/69) reported a loss of income.

Conclusions

Our results showed the relevance of a broad range of aspects of care for the quality of life of patients with LC. End-of-life care was the dimension of care rated highest by patients with LC, irrespective of stage at diagnosis; however, this aspect is least frequently discussed with HCPs. The results also highlight the considerable socioeconomic impact of the disease, despite insurance coverage of direct costs.
Identifying Sleep Disorders From Search Engine Activity: Combining User-Generated Data With a Clinically Validated Questionnaire
Authors: Cohen Zion Mairav , Gescheit Iddo , Levy Nir , Yom-Tov Elad
Published: November 2022

Background

Sleep disorders are experienced by up to 40% of the population but their diagnosis is often delayed by the availability of specialists.

Objective

We propose the use of search engine activity in conjunction with a validated web-based sleep questionnaire to facilitate wide-scale screening of prevalent sleep disorders.

Methods

Search advertisements offering a web-based sleep disorder screening questionnaire were shown on the Bing search engine to individuals who indicated an interest in sleep disorders. People who clicked on the advertisements and completed the sleep questionnaire were identified as being at risk for 1 of 4 common sleep disorders. A machine learning algorithm was applied to previous search engine queries to predict their suspected sleep disorder, as identified by the questionnaire.

Results

A total of 397 users consented to participate in the study and completed the questionnaire. Of them, 132 had sufficient past query data for analysis. Our findings show that diurnal patterns of people with sleep disorders were shifted by 2-3 hours compared to those of the controls. Past query activity was predictive of sleep disorders, approaching an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.62-0.69, depending on the sleep disorder.

Conclusions

Targeted advertisements can be used as an initial screening tool for people with sleep disorders. However, search engine data are seemingly insufficient as a sole method for screening. Nevertheless, we believe that evaluable web-based information, easily collected and processed with little effort on part of the physician and with low burden on the individual, can assist in the diagnostic process and possibly drive people to seek sleep assessment and diagnosis earlier than they currently do.

Among 17 included trials, key patient characteristics varied substantially: primary refractory (0–69%), refractory to last line of therapy (LOT) (12–100%), ≥2 prior LOTs (14–100%), ≥3 prior LOTs (0–64%), IPI ≥3 (23–73%), tumor stage III/IV (50–90%) and median age (56–74 years). ORRs varied substantially (25–83%), correlating with these characteristics.
Conclusion:
Differences in patient characteristics significantly contribute to the variability in ORR across these trials and should be considered when contextualizing efficacy data.

Abstract: With advances in computing and telecommunications technologies, digital images and video are playing key roles in the present information era. This system uses powerful python algorithm through which the detection and recognition of face is very easy and efficient. Human face is an important biometric object in image and video databases of surveillance systems. Detecting and locating human faces and facial features in an image or image sequence are important tasks in dynamic environments, such as videos, where noise conditions, illuminations, locations of subjects and pose can vary significantly from frame to frame. we want to identify the person based on face data base which we have already created in own data. After that we want to start identification of face using face recognition package. Finally, we will do comparison with data base and we will say weather that person is missing person or unknown person.

Macrophytes are critical primary producers in freshwater ecosystem and
provide potential crop output to feed the expanding human population,
they also have been used to mitigate eutrophication and upgrade the
water quality. Aquatic plants adapt themselves to the more complicated,
changeable and unstable conditions compared to terrestrial plants,
especially the fluctuated nutrient environments. Nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P) are the key nutrient elements for plants, and their
cycles have been massively altered by anthropogenic activities in
diverse ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive
understanding about the adapt mechanisms of N and P stress in aquatic
plants. Therefore, we investigated the response mechanisms at the
molecular, physiological, and morphological levels in the macrophyte
Spirodela polyrhiza under N deficiency, P deficiency, combined N
and P deficiency, and total nutrient deficiency using RNA-seq,
physiological, and biochemical measurements in this study. We found that
the similar response mechanisms are shared between terrestrial plants
and this tiny aquatic plant, such as nutrient deficiency-induced root
system architecture (RSA) changes and photosynthetic inhibition,
interacting of N/P signaling networks and uptake, and the consistent
changes of gene expression profiles at transcriptional level.
Encouragingly, novel findings have been found in S. polyrhiza.
The dramatic accumulation of starch or protein without significantly
growth inhibition under nutrient deficiencies, improve the crop output
of S. polyrhiza. It has a more complex P-signaling network, which
is made up of miR399, PHO2, PHT1 and lncRNAs, and miR399 should be a
dual-function regulator in Pi homeostasis of S. polyrhiza. The N
assimilation process explained the prioritizing usage of ammonium (NH
)-N in duckweed, enhancing its
application to phytoremediation of NH waste water.

Educators, policymakers, and the public are often intensely engaged in youth cultures and practices. Nowadays, young people behave in irrational, creative, selfish, deviant, apathetic, generous, committed, tolerant, and many other, often contradictory ways. Educators should attend to widely circulating accounts of youth, because these often yield or buttress attitudes and policies that influence young people. The paper presents the results of a study of youth subcultures as an interactive form of self-identification and socialization of university students’ personality and educational purposes. The theoretical basis of the study was the scientific works of famous domestic and foreign scientists in the field of social sciences, education, and humanities. Research methods: practical and theoretical ones. The theoretical methods are analysis, classification and generalization. The practical methods are sociological survey and testing. The study sample consisted of students at Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after V. Ya. Kikot, Moscow State University of the Civil Engineering, Russian State Social University and Moscow City University. As a result of the data obtained, the authors of the paper designed a program of additional education for university students in the context of the development of youth subcultures. The designed program is directed towards the interaction of youth subcultures and institutions of higher education. As a result of the testing of the program at the aforesaid institutions of higher professional education, the effectiveness of its introduction into the educational process has been proved.
The geopolitical challenges to engage stakeholders into arctic climate change adaptation - military action and the challenges for an arctic citizenship
Authors: Arruda Gisele , Filijovic Marko
Published: November 2022

Climate change adaptation in the Arctic is a powerful notion based on a
challenging and impermanent reality of continuous complex interactions
between the natural and social structures. The geophysical and geopolitical
aspects of the Arctic system and the global context are naturally
interlinked, and the human aspects of societal existence are even more
integrated resulting in a range of collective opportunities, risks, and
responsibilities as a civilization, as Arctic citizens, and as global
citizens. Our analysis indicated that there are at least three key factors
that stand in the way of the implementation of the Arctic climate agenda: 1)
unresolved territorial and other disputes among Arctic coastal states, 2)
the intensive (re)militarisation of the region (with Russia as a central
player), and 3) noticeable economic dynamism, accompanied by strategic
competition between key stakeholders - including non-Arctic states, such as
China. The priorities for the region are still set by old-fashioned,
mechanistic, political agendas, combined with unsustainable natural
resources management strategies. Overall, our research indicates that the
threat of climate change is not enough to mobilise the Artic nations under a
sense of regional citizenship or to raise awareness on the need for a
coordinated and inclusive climate change adaptation policy, based on Arctic
cooperation.
