‘Only introduced’ or ‘invasive’: spread of the alga Aulacoseira ambigua f. japonica from Asia to Africa and Europe
Authors: Eleršek Tina
Published: August 2023

Many non-native algal species are found in waters all over the world. Many terms are used to describe such organisms that have expanded their distribution. However, a unified model or concept remains to be defined, as how biological ‘invasions’ are seen depends on the perspective. Understanding invasive organisms is important for biodiversity, science policy and water management. During monitoring sampling at Slivniško Lake (Slovenia) in 2016, the curved diatom Aulacoseira ambigua f. japonica Tuji & D.M. Williams was identified. This species originates from Japan, from where it was described more than 100 years ago. The chronology of the published distributions of A. ambigua f. japonica defines its spread from Japan to Asia, then to western Russia and South Africa, and now to central Europe. This study provides further evidence that A. ambigua f. japonica has become established in Europe (Slovenia), as supported by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first qualitative and quantitative description of A. ambigua f. japonica in Europe. It has been suggested that the shape of these algal colonies is significant for the interpretation of ecological information, and indeed, also in the present case, spiral colonies were found in this eutrophic water body. Although curved cells and colonies can also be interpreted as (sub)populations or morphological variants, only detailed molecular studies can reveal if these also have taxonomic significance.

Toksikološka analiza vsebine vojaških čutar, zakopanih 70 let v kraški jami na Kočevskem, JV Slovenija
Authors: Mulec Janez , Skok Sara , Zalar Serjun Vesna , Mihevc Andrej
Published: August 2023

Za odkrivanje ostankov materialnih sledi se na dobro ohranjenih predmetih lahko opravijo forenzične preiskave. V Breznu v Debliških livadah je bilo odkritih večje število predmetov, ki so bili odvrženi v jamo v maju in juniju 1945. Med odkritim materialom so bile tudi vojaške čutare. Nekatere izmed čutar so še vsebovale tekočino, nekatere pa tudi poltrdo, gelasto oborino. Tekočina in oborina iz čutar sta vsebovali kovine, ki so se najverjetneje s časom izlužile iz kovinske posode. Korozija čutar nakazuje prisotnost minerala hematita. Vsebina čutar je nadalje vsebovala nekaj raztopljene organske snovi (celotni organski ogljik – TOC v tekočini 9,22 mg/l, v tekočini ekstrahirane oborine 34,1 mg/l), nekaj mikrobne biomase ter relativno visoke koncentracije nitrata (240 mg/l v tekočini, 55 mg/l v ekstrahirani oborini) in sulfata (18 mg/l v tekočini, 836 mg/l v ekstrahirani oborini). Bakterijskih indikatorjev, Escherichia coli in enterokokov, ki bi kazali na fekalno kontaminacijo vsebine, v vzorcih nismo zaznali. Raztopina in oborina sta izkazovali podobno stopnjo toksičnosti, okrog 20% inhibicijo bioluminiscence bakterije Vibrio fischeri. Glede na Pravilnik o pitni voditekočina s sedanjimi kemijskimi lastnostmi ni primerna za uživanje. Rezultati ne kažejo nujno na toksičnost izvornih tekočin iz časa, ko so bile čutare odvržene v jamo, ampak bi se toksičnost lahko razvila postopoma zaradi izluževanja kovin iz posode, zlastialuminija, in (bio)kemijskih reakcij. Navkljub stabilnim jamskim razmeram, ki so jim bile izpostavljene čutare, ugotovljeni parametri ne podpirajo dolgoročne ohranitve stabilne DNA za morebitne nadaljnje forenzične analize.

Objectives

To assess the immunity of healthcare and non-healthcare workers in the Alcoy health area (Spain) after completing three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and how it relates with individual factors.

Methods

We conducted a prospective, observational, longitudinal, analytical study to observe immunogenicity in healthcare and non-healthcare workers at Virgen de los Lirios Hospital following administration of three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein IgG antibody concentrations were determined, while COVID-19 infections were identified by qualitative detection of IgG against the nucleocapsid protein. Samples from volunteers were analyzed 15 days, 3 months, and 6 months after receiving the second vaccine dose, and 12 months after receiving the third (booster) dose. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, risk factors, and use of immunosuppressive drugs. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software, and mean antibody levels over time were compared using ANOVA.

Results

Participation was 99.5 % (199/200). The IgG concentration was higher in men and in obese individuals. No significant changes were noted in factors such as smoking.

Conclusions

All participants developed humoral immunity, except for three subjects who were receiving immunosuppressive treatment. Participants with previous COVID-19 infection had higher antibody levels.
Integral inequalities with an extended Poisson kernel and the existence of the extremals
Authors: Tao Chunxia , Wang Yike
Published: August 2023

In this article, we first apply the method of combining the interpolation theorem and weak-type estimate developed in Chen et al. to derive the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality with an extended Poisson kernel. By using this inequality and weighted Hardy inequality, we further obtain the Stein-Weiss inequality with an extended Poisson kernel. For the extremal problem of the corresponding Stein-Weiss inequality, the presence of double-weighted exponents not being necessarily nonnegative makes it impossible to obtain the desired existence result through the usual technique of symmetrization and rearrangement. We then adopt the concentration compactness principle of double-weighted integral operator, which was first used by the authors in Chen et al. to overcome this difficulty and obtain the existence of the extremals. Finally, the regularity of the positive solution for integral system related with the extended kernel is also considered in this article. Our regularity result also avoids the nonnegativity condition of double-weighted exponents, which is a common assumption in dealing with the regularity of positive solutions of the double-weighted integral systems in the literatures.

Polymer-based nanocarriers are created from natural or synthetic polymers that are modified to form submicroscopic particles. The polymer matrix can be customized to provide specific properties, such as surface chemistry and flexibility. This allows the particles to be designed and used in different fields. They are promising nanomaterials that are used as therapeutic and diagnostic agents, and they have potential biomedical and environmental applications. These nanocarriers are polymers that can be engineered with other types of nanomaterials with different sizes, shapes, and compositions. They can deliver drugs or their cargo to a specific site with precisely controlled release. They have many advantages compared to traditional drug delivery carriers, including improved biocompatibility, reduced toxicity, and increased efficacy. In biomedical applications, polymer nanocarriers have been used as drug delivery carriers, cancer therapy, and gene therapy. In environmental applications, polymer nanocarriers are able to remove heavy metals and other contaminants from air and water bodies. In this review, a summary of recent fabrication, design, synthesis, characterisation, and various applications in the biomedical and environmental fields has been provided. The review also highlights the current challenges and prospects of evolving polymer nanocarriers.
Geochemical characteristics of arc fractionated I-type granitoids of eastern Tak Batholith, Thailand
Authors: Singtuen Vimoltip , Phajuy Burapha , Wichaiya Kittisak
Published: August 2023

The Tak Batholith is located in the western part of Thailand’s eastern granitoid belt. To better understand the geochemical characteristics of granitoid and identify their occurrence, rock samples collected from the eastern part of the Tak Batholith were used for petrographical, mineralogical, and geochemical analyses. According to field investigation and lithology, petrography classifies these granitic rocks as medium-grained granodiorite and granodioritic dike. The granodiorites are composed chiefly of plagioclase, orthoclase, quartz, hornblende, and biotite, with tiny amounts of zircon, apatite, and opaque minerals. Meanwhile, the granitic dike shows a highly porphyritic texture, presenting mostly plagioclase phenocrysts, with a small amount of orthoclase and unidentified mafic phenocrysts sitting in a fine-grained groundmass comprising K-feldspar and quartz with a small amount of plagioclase and present granophyric intergrowth. Geochemical data of the amphiboles classified them as Ferro-edenite symbolizing the I-type granite. Whole-rock geochemistry indicates that these rock suites are I-type metaluminous granodiorite, and diorite fractionated from the high K calc-alkaline magma melted from the mafic crust of arc magmatism agreeable with the enrichment of large ion lithophile elements and depletion of highfield-strength elements, and rare earth element patterns.
Harmonization of Product Classifications: A Consistent Time Series of Economic Trade Activities
Authors: Baumgartner Christoph , Srhoj Stjepan , Walde Janette
Published: August 2023

Firm-product data provide information for various research questions in international trade, industrial or innovation economics. However, working with these data requires harmonizing product classifications consistently over time to avoid internal validity issues. Harmonization is required because classification systems like the EU classifications combined nomenclature (CN) for goods or the Prodcom for the production of manufactured goods undergo several changes. We have addressed this problem and developed an approach to harmonize product codes. This approach tracks product codes from 1995 to 2022 for CN and 2001 to 2021 for Prodcom. Additional years can be conveniently added. We provide the harmonized product codes for CN and Prodcom in the selected period’s last (or first) year. Our approach is summarized in an open-source R package so that researchers can consistently track product codes for their selected period. We demonstrate the importance of harmonization using the micro-level trade data for Croatia as a case study. Our approach facilitates working with firm-product data, allowing the analysis of important research questions.

The safety and immunogenicity to inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in patients with hyperlipemia
Authors: Yang Lei , Liu YaMing , Guo Qiao , Jiang DePeng
Published: August 2023

It is of urgent need to understand the safety and effectiveness of novel coronavirus (COVID-19)-inactivated vaccine in patients with hyperlipidemia (HLD). However, data on the safety and immune response of SARS-CoV-2-inactivated vaccine in HLD patients are limited. In this prospective study, 105 patients with HLD and 74 healthy controls (HCs) were selected. Within 16–168 days after inoculation-inactivated vaccine, the anti-receptor-binding domain (RBD) IgG and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) were evaluated, respectively. Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate RBD-specific B cells and memory B cells. There was no significant difference between HLD patients and HCs in adverse events (AEs) within 7 days after vaccination, and no serious AEs occurred. The seropositivity rates and titers of two Abs (anti-RBD IgG and CoV-2 NAbs) were lower in HLD patients than in HCs (all, p < 0.05). HLD showed significantly lower frequencies of RBD-specific B cells than HCs (p = 0.040). However, in high cholesterol, high triglyceride, mixed (MiX), and lipid control (HC) subgroups, there was no significant difference in the seropositivity rates and titers of the both Abs. Through mixed factor analysis shows that days between the second dose and sample collection/antibody measurement were associated with the lower anti-RBD IgG antibody levels. In conclusion, inactivated COVID-19 vaccine is safe and well tolerated for HLD patients, but the humoral immune may be limited.

Authors: Jia Xuandong , Liao Xingzhi , Zhou Maitao
Published: August 2023

To observe the effect of iliac fascia space block combined with esketamine intravenous general anesthesia in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) of the elderly. Eighty elderly patients who underwent PFNA were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, iliac fascial block combined with esketamine and propofol intravenous general anesthesia was used to keep spontaneous breathing. The control group used iliac fascia block combined with remifentanil and propofol intravenous general anesthesia to maintain spontaneous breathing. Record important indexes such as heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), visual analogue score (VAS) scores, etc. at different moment during the operation. Trial data showed that there were significant differences in HR, MAP, and SpO2 between the two groups at the beginning of operation, and there was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups at each moment after surgery, and there were significant differences in the number of vasopressor applications, length of hospital stay, and QoR-15 scores between the two groups, and there were significant differences in the incidence of total adverse reactions and the incidence of hypotension. The trial indicated that patients in the experimental group have more stable hemodynamics and lower stress response, which is conducive to rapid recovery after surgery.
Vico’s Theory of Humor and Laughter
Authors: Peone Dustin
Published: August 2023

Giambattista Vico is a philosopher with a deeply tragic sense of life. His theory of the course of nations does not entail a notion of progress. Nations are born, mature, decline, and perish, and the nations that rise in their wake must begin again from barbarism. Nevertheless, Vico has a doctrine of humor and laughter, which he details in a digression within short apologia, the “Vici Vindiciae.” No significant scholarly attention has ever been paid to this digression. In this article, I critically consider Vico’s theory, with the greater intention of situating it in the context of his philosophy as a whole. I demonstrate that Vico’s association of “acute remarks” with the pursuit of truth, and his criticism of “argute remarks,” mockery, and laughter are an extension of his doctrine of the heroic mind. I also discuss the significance of Roman comedy for Vico as philologist.
Oppression, Subversive Humor, and Unstable Politics
Authors: Marvin Amy
Published: August 2023

This essay argues that humor can be used as an unstable weapon against oppressive language and concepts. Drawing from radical feminist Marilyn Frye, I discuss the difficulty of challenging systematic oppression from within and explore the capabilities of humor for this task. This requires expanding Cynthia Willett’s and Julie Willett’s approach to fumerism beyond affect to fully examine the work of humor in manipulating language, concepts, and imagery. For this expansion, I bring in research on feminist linguistics alongside other philosophers of political humor to consider the connection between humor and world-making. I then link this with feminist world-breaking through Monique Wittig’s analysis of war machines and Trojan horses against heteropatriarchal language. Finally, I draw out the instability of humor as a war machine by investigating a bit where comedian Patti Harrison disguised herself as an official corporate brand platform to challenge the compulsory commodification of LGBTQ rights.
A Kernel of Truth: Outlining an Epistemology of Jokes
Authors: Wilk Thomas
Published: August 2023

I propose the Shared Presupposition Norm of Joking (SPNJ) as a constitutive norm of joke-telling. This norm suggests that a person should only tell a joke if they believe their audience shares the presuppositions—both explicit beliefs and implicit inferential connections—upon which the joke turns. Without this shared understanding, the audience would lack the necessary comprehension to appreciate the joke. I defend this norm in an analogous way to Williamson’s defense of the Knowledge Norm of Assertion by demonstrating that it explains a number of patterns of joking behavior. If SPNJ is indeed a constitutive norm of joking, it provides an epistemological foothold. Jokes function as conversational explicatures serving an epistemically diagnostic function, revealing implicit and perhaps disavowed inferential dispositions of the joking community. This norm does not teach us about the subject matter of the joke, but instead illuminates the language games of the joke teller and audience.
Ion Beam–Induced Modifications in the Optical and Structural Characteristics of Lexan Polycarbonate
Authors: Ramola R. C. , Semwal Anju
Published: August 2023

Lexan polycarbonate samples have been irradiated with lithium, Li+3 (50 MeV) and nickel, Ni+9 (120 MeV) ion beams at the fluence ranging from 3 × 1010 to 3 × 1012 ions/cm2. The effects of ion beam irradiation on Lexan polycarbonate were investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet (UV)-visible, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The UV-visible spectra of ion beam–irradiated films reveal that the optical band gap of polycarbonate decreases with increasing ion beam fluence. The optical band gap shrinks more after irradiation by nickel ion beam because it loses more electronic energy than lithium-ion beams. The number of carbon atoms in carbon clusters incorporated in the Lexan polycarbonate is studied in relation to the optical band gap. The XRD analysis reveals that the intensity of the main peak decreases with increasing ion fluence, indicating the amorphization of Lexan polycarbonate. AFM analysis indicates systematic changes in the surface morphology of polymer films as beam intensity increases.
Hematopoiesis: a BETter understanding
Authors: Dasgupta Nirmalya , Adams Peter D
Published: August 2023

Epigenetic modifications are known to be crucial for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation, with the BET family member BRD4 playing a vital role in this as an epigenetic reader. In this issue of EMBO reports, Yang et al (2023) demonstrate that the absence of BRD4 leads to senescence in HSCs and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), affecting the expression of crucial genes involved in myeloid and erythroid development. These data suggest that BRD4 has a protective role in preserving histone tails, thereby sustaining normal HSC/HPC functions.

Authors: KARA Zeki , YAZAR Kevser , Doğan Osman , Ünlü Dudu
Published: August 2023

In this study, eight cultivars, all of which are Vitis vinifera L., are grown in Aksaray province were determined. Identification material was selected approximately 20 years old, own roots vines in the producer vineyards. Ampelographic characteristics are defined by 123 descriptive characters in the OIV (The International Organization of Vine and Wine) list of grape and grapevine rootstock varieties identification criteria. With the numerical codes of the OIV identification criteria, similarity analysis was made in the IBM SPSS Statistics software (SPSS) package program, and the similarity relationships of the cultivars were visualized with a dendrogram. Aşeri and Mor Üzüm varieties defined in Aksaray province are not registered in the European Catalogue, but all varieties are Vitis vinifera L. Subsp. vinifera is registered as Turkey varieties. All the cultivar excluding Aşeri, and Emir names defined here are included in the Turkey grapevine genetic resources list, and several cultivars containing the same name or synonyms have been defined in different studies. The ampelographic descriptions of Aşeri and Emir grape varieties were made for the first time. The ampelographic definitions of Ak Dimrit, Çavuş, Kalecik Karası, Mor Üzüm, Parmak Üzümü and Sergi Karası cvs were confirmed with previous descriptions made in different provinces. The similarities and differences of the varieties we identified were reflected in the similarity dendrogram. Six of the eight grape varieties are hermaphrodite, and two of them (Çavuş and Sergi Karası) are functional female flowers. In the international variety catalogue records, the most common Aksaray variety on a global scale is Çavuş variety originating from Turkey. The cv. Parmak Üzümü was a separate ecotype due to its differences from previous identification records. It would be appropriate to protect the Aşeri, Emir, and Parmak Üzümü varieties, which we described for the first time, in the grapevine genetic resources of Turkey
Determination of Yield and Quality Characteristics of Sunflower Genotypes Newly Developed
Authors: Ada Rahim
Published: August 2023

This research was conducted to determine the yield and quality characteristics of oil sunflower genotypes as candidates for registration under Konya and Karaman conditions, in four replications according to the “Random Blocks Trial Design”. The differences between the cultivars used in both locations of the study in terms of the number of days to bloom, the number of days to physiological maturity, plant height, the diameter of the head, the thousand seed weight, seed moisture, seed yield, oil rate, and oil yield were found to be statistically significant. The number of flowering days of the genotypes was found to be 65.6-60.6 days (H194; P63MM54), the number of days to physiological maturity was 116.9-109.0 days (Tunca; P63MM54), plant height 172.0-143.3 cm (Tunca; H249), head diameter 18.8-15.9 cm (H250; P63MM64), thousand-seed weight 43.4-54.2 g (H250; Gibraltar), hectoliter weight 32.3-30.3 kg (P63MM54; H194), seed moisture 7.1-8.4 % (H250; P63MM54, Gibraltar), seed yield 4.37-3.82 t ha-1 (H194; H249), oil rate 47.8-42.9 % (H250; H55), and oil yield 2.04-1.64 t ha-1 (H250; H249). According to the averages of the locations, it can be argued that the H194, H250, H55, and H5 hybrids that have high seed and oil yield can be successfully grown in regional conditions.
Fenomenologia miłości Sørena Kierkegaarda: miłość zmysłowa – miłość wieczna – lęk
Authors: Tkacz Malwina
Published: August 2023

Cel. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie fenomenu miłości w filozofii Sørena Kierkegaarda. Filozof ten wyróżnia wiele kategorii miłości – od miłości preferencyjnej po agape.

Metody. Metodę badań stanowi analiza wybranych publikacji naukowych i popularnonaukowych oraz tekstów filozoficznych.

Wyniki. Fenomen miłości w ujęciu Kierkegaarda przybiera wiele form i ujawnia się w różnych kate­goriach. Nie istnieje wiele fenomenów – istnieją różne ich przejawy, a koncepcja miłości zunifikowanej jest możliwa.

Wnioski. Miłość preferencyjna i miłość bliźniego nie wykluczają się – są w pe­wien sposób zależne, a przynajmniej mają „punkty wspólne”. Zależność ta wydaje się być obiecującym gruntem dla dalszej analizy i badań.

Published: August 2023

O artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa que objetivaram identificar as motivações que levaram os estudantes que ingressaram no semestre anterior à pandemia, no curso de Técnicos de Edificações, forma subsequente, do Câmpus Pelotas do Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense, a evadirem. A evasão é assumida como um fato complexo, que compreende um conjunto de fatores institucionais e individuais e, considerando esses fatores, um questionário foi aplicado por meio de contato telefônico a estudantes evadidos do referido curso. Responderam à pesquisa nove estudantes de uma população alvo de dezoito sujeitos. Evidenciou-se que a necessidade de trabalhar, a falta de flexibilidade nos horários para cursar as matérias, a escola ser distante da casa e/ou do trabalho, a mudança de bairro ou cidade, a possibilidade de fazer um curso superior, o não considerar o curso atrativo e/ou o não ter interesse e afinidade ou gosto pela área/profissão foram as principais motivações para evasão. A pesquisa não evidencia efeitos diretos da pandemia como motivação para a evasão, todavia, alterações do processo educacional podem ter afetado a percepção dos estudantes sobre seu processo de evasão.
A testdiszmorfiás zavar pszichológiai vonatkozásai
Authors: Szászi Beáta , Szabó Pál
Published: August 2023

A testdiszmorfiás zavar (BDD) nagy szenvedéssel, a pszichológiai és szociális funkciók súlyos károsodásával jár. A pszichiátriai betegség központi tünete a saját test észlelésének súlyos zavara, amely alacsony önértékeléshez, szorongáshoz, depresszióhoz, szociális izolációhoz vezet, mindez akadályozza a továbbtanulást, munkavégzést, családalapítást. Nagy a pszichiátriai komorbiditás és az öngyilkosság miatti halálozás kockázata. A betegség nozológiai helyzete a DSM-5-ben megváltozott. Kialakulásában és fennmaradásában biológiai, pszichológiai, környezeti és szociokulturális tényezők játszanak szerepet. A szerzők célkitűzése a pszichológiai tényezők áttekintése. A legfeltűnőbb tünet, a testképzavar hátterében a kognitív funkciók (észlelés, figyelem, információfeldolgozás, végrehajtó működés) jellegzetes megváltozását feltételezik. Legtöbbet az arcészlelést és az érzelemfelismerést vizsgálták. Az érzelemszabályozás zavara is hajlamosít BDD-re. Jellegzetes személyiségvonások: félénkség, érzékenység a visszautasításra, kritikára, alacsony önértékelés, perfekcionizmus. Domináló érzésük, a szégyen meggátolja, hogy segítséget kérjenek. A betegség korán, többnyire serdülőkorban (átlagosan 16,7 éves korban) kezdődik. Gyakoriak a korai életévekben átélt traumatikus élmények, stresszel teli életesemények, a testtel kapcsolatos kellemetlen megjegyzések. A BDD-sek gyakrabban számolnak be érzelmi, fizikai és szexuális abúzusról. Figyelemre méltó, hogy a zaklatásnak nemcsak áldozatai, hanem gyakran elkövetői is. A társas környezetnek is etiológiai szerepet tulajdonítanak. Ez a közösségi médiában is megvalósulhat (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok). A prevalencia az általános népességben 2%, pszichiátriai fekvőbetegeknél 7,4%, kozmetikai sebészeti és bőrgyógyászati betegeknél 10% feletti. Az elmúlt években gyakoribbá vált, a COVID-érában megjelent a „snapchat diszmorfia” és a „zoom diszmorfia”. Az SSRI-típusú antidepresszívumok és a kognitív viselkedésterápia hatékonysága igazolt. Ígéretes az elfogadás-elköteleződés terápiája, a metakognitív terápia és a már bevált terápiás módszerek online változatai. A pszichológiai tényezők bármelyike lehet a terápia és megelőzés célpontja.
Distribution of Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862) (Chilopoda, Scutigeromorpha, Scutigeridae) in Hokkaido, Japan

Published: August 2023

Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862), a centipede, is distributed mainly in Asia. In Japan, T. tuberculata is found throughout Honshu Island and southwards, although less commonly to the north on Hokkaido. Our survey additionally showed that this species occurs commonly at altitudes of 0–540 m on Hokkaido. The northern limit of this species in Japan seems to be Nakagawa Town, Hokkaido. Thereuonema tuberculata was also collected on isolated islands off southwestern Hokkaido. Although previous studies have suggested distribution of T. tuberculata in Hokkaido is anthropogenic, it may be natural.
«Por solo sol difunto en el ocaso»: Un epitafio poético de Juan del Valle y Caviedes contra el duque de la Palata
Authors: Cabanillas-Cárdenas Carlos-F.
Published: August 2023

En 1691, camino hacia la metrópoli, murió en Portobelo Melchor de Navarra y Rocafull, duque de la Palata, luego de dejar el cargo de virrey del Perú. Las noticias de su muerte fueron recibidas con algunas composiciones en su contra escritas por Juan del Valle y Caviedes. En ellas utilizando, principalmente, el modelo de la poesía fúnebre se hace una serie de acusaciones contra el Duque en las que destacan su avaricia y soberbia. En este trabajo me detendré en comentar un epitafio poético, en forma de soneto, en el que además de acusaciones morales perviven ecos de ataques contra las medidas políticas del exvirrey, en el convulso contexto histórico de las dos últimas décadas del siglo XVII en el Virreinato del Perú.
Ludovico Antonio Muratori y la problemática del buen gusto en la cultura italiana a principios del siglo XVIII
Authors: Núñez-García Laureano

El término gusto empezó a adquirir relevancia en el debate estético-literario en Italia en la última década del siglo XVII y principios de siglo XVIII, época en la que la cultura y la literatura italianas eran conscientes de encontrarse en una fase de decadencia debida al agotamiento del barroco.

El presente estudio pretende analizar el sentido que el concepto o idea de buen gusto adquiere en el tratado Riflessioni sopra il buon gusto nelle scienze e nelle arti (1708 y 1715) de Ludovico Antonio Muratori, sin duda el autor más representativo del pensamiento estético y de la crítica literaria de su tiempo. El tratado está concebido como un ambicioso proyecto de reforma y renovación de la vida cultural y literaria italiana, en el que la idea de buen gusto debía jugar un papel fundamental. Pero como el estudio pretende demostrar, a pesar del mérito de la obra de Muratori y su influencia en autores posteriores, su idea de buen gusto permaneció fundamentalmente asociada a la de juicio, es decir, a una facultad intelectual, racional, capaz de distinguir entre lo que es y no es bello, y no como algo propio de la sensibilidad desde el punto de vista de la fruición.

Fusarium falciforme y Lasiodiplodia theobromae, son los principales patógenos fúngicos en raíz y tallo en árboles de guanábana (Annona muricata L.) en Nayarit, México. A la fecha los productores de este frutal en la región, no cuentan con estrategias efectivas para el control de esa patología. Por lo que, el principal objetivo de la investigación fue, evaluar in vitro el potencial de biocontrol de cepas de Trichoderma antagonistas y la eficacia de fungicidas convencionales. Se evaluaron in vitro 13 cepas de Trichoderma contra F. falciforme y L. theobromae. Así mismo, se evaluó in vitro la sensibilidad de ambos patógenos fúngicos a ocho fungicidas comerciales. Las cepas de T. hanamatum y T. asperellum inhibieron in vitro el crecimiento micelial de F. falciforme hasta un 75.31 %. Por otra parte, Mancozeb fue el único fungicida que inhibió por completo (100 %) el crecimiento micelial in vitro de ambos fitopatógenos. Los resultados sugieren el potencial uso de ambas estrategias de control para la supresión de estas enfermedades radiculares y del tallo en guanábana. Se sugiere conducir estudios adicionales relacionados con los posibles efectos sinérgicos de la combinación de ambas estrategias en la prevención y control de esta enfermedad fúngica en A. muricata.

The present study systematically assessed alterations in thiol-disulfide homeostasis among women with preeclampsia (PE) through meta-analysis. This was conducted as such changes are believed to be associated with the oxidative stress underlying this condition. A comprehensive search of Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases was conducted from their inception until 22 March 2023, to identify studies comparing levels of native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide between pregnant women with PE and those without PE. Results were pooled using a random-effects model to account for study heterogeneity. The analysis included a total of 631 women diagnosed with PE and 668 healthy pregnant women, encompassing 13 case-control studies and 1 prospective study. Pooled outcomes revealed that women with PE had significantly lower blood levels of native thiol, (mean difference [MD] -51.42 umol/L; 95% confidence interval [CI] -79.75 to -23.10 umol/L; P < 0.001; I2 = 0% and total thiol (MD -65.56 umol/L; 95% CI -104.97 to -26.15 umol/L; P = 0.001; I2 = 0%) compared to the control group. In contrast, no significant difference was observed in blood disulfide levels between the two groups (MD -1.10 umol/L; 95% CI -4.41 to -2.21 umol/L; P = 0.51; I2 = 0%). Subgroup analyses indicated that the results were consistent across studies matched by gestational age and body mass index, as well as those with varying quality scores (P for subgroup differences all > 0.05). In conclusion, women with PE are associated with significantly reduced blood levels of native and total thiols but show no change in blood disulfide levels, suggesting a state of reduced antioxidants in PE.

Publics in Global Politics: A Framing Paper
Authors: Mende Janne , Müller Thomas
Published: August 2023

In IR and beyond, there is considerable debate about the ways global governance, the transnationalisation of publics, and changes in communication technologies have affected the interplay between publics and global politics. This debate is characterised by disagreements about how to conceptualise publics in the global realm—and whether or not they exist in the first place. We seek to contribute to this debate by disentangling the various meanings associated with publics in order to get a better grasp of how publics shape and are shaped by global politics. We do so in two steps. First, we distinguish four different manifestations of publics: audiences, spheres, institutions, and public interests. Second, we identify four key dynamics that affect the evolution and interplay of these manifestations in global politics: the distinction between public and private, changes in communications technologies, the politics of transparency, and the need to legitimise global governance. These interrelated dynamics reshape the publicness of global politics while sustaining the plurality of the publics that partake in it.
A Digital Ruble as an Object of Financial Law Regulation
Authors: Sitnik A. A.
Published: August 2023

The paper is devoted to the study of the issues concerning legal regulation of the digital ruble circulation — a Russian national digital currency. It is noted that public relations arising in the process of the digital ruble circulation are included in the subject matter of several branches of law, mainly financial and civil law. At the same time, a binding nature of the digital ruble is important for civil law that affects the rights and obligations of participants of civil turnover, and for financial law because of a state law nature of the digital ruble. It is the state power command (expressed in forms of financial law rules) that gives the digital ruble the status of a legal means of payments. The paper emphasizes that, although the «form of money» is primarily an economic concept, it is important for law, since it reflects the essential differences between types of money, manifested, inter alia, in the peculiarities of legal regulation of the circulation of different monetary funds. Based on the comparison of the Russian national digital currency with other types of non-cash funds, it is concluded that the digital ruble is a third form of money. In addition, the digital ruble is compared with digital currencies and electronic money. It is established that the digital ruble platform can be considered as a product subsystem of the national payment system, an information system, as well as the space within which the emergence, change and termination of legal relations related to the circulation of the digital ruble occur. Attention is focused on the transformation of the legal position of the Bank of Russia in connection with the assignment of the functions of the operator of the digital ruble platform. In addition, the paper reveals the features of the legal status of other participants of legal relations arising in the process of circulation of the digital ruble — participants and users of the digital ruble platform.
Peculiarities of the Bankruptcy Proceedings Regulation
Authors: Averina A. V.
Published: August 2023

In recent years, the law enforcement practice in bankruptcy cases has tended to increase the importance of the active role of the court in resolving court disputes. The paper discusses the causes and consequences of strengthening an active role of the court in relation to the specifics of bankruptcy proceedings. The author identifies the system levels of regulation of this type of legal proceedings and its place in the system of civil proceedings. The paper highlights the system-forming role of judicial practice that cumulates the biggest part of both the substantive and procedural features of such cases. The author summarizes and systematizes the points of view available in the doctrine concerning categorization of bankruptcy proceedings and gives her own opinion on this issue. The author concludes that strengthening the active role of the court in the bankruptcy proceedings is necessary to maintain a balance of interests and prevent abuse by the participants of the procedure. Consolidation of the active powers of the court at the legislative level can have a positive effect on reducing the time for consideration of such cases and increasing the percentage of satisfaction of creditors’ claims. At the same time, such consolidation will strengthen the specifics of bankruptcy proceedings, bringing them even closer to administrative proceedings.
Application of Coercive Measures in Criminal Cases with Suspended Preliminary Investigation
Authors: Bekteva V. S.
Published: August 2023

The paper deals with some issues related to the possibility of applying measures of procedural coercion after the suspension of criminal proceedings. The author focuses on the need to improve the legislation governing the application of coercive measures in case of suspension of the preliminary investigation. Based on the analysis of investigative practice, taking into account the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the paper assesses the existing approaches to resolving the issue of the possibility of using coercive measures after the proceedings in the criminal case have been suspended. Following the interviews with judges of the Omsk region district courts, the paper highlights approaches to solving the problem of the effect of procedural coercion measures after the suspension of criminal proceedings. The author proposes to amend Art. 209 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which regulates the actions of the investigator after the suspension of the preliminary investigation, indicating the possibility (or lack of it) of applying procedural coercive measures in the event of suspension of criminal proceedings.
International Arbitration in the Context of Anti-Russian Sanctions: Issues Raised through Practice
Authors: Zasemkova O. F.
Published: August 2023

In the context of the changing geopolitical situation and the introduction by various countries of anti-Russian sanctions and unilateral restrictive measures, Russian citizens faced numerous problems arising when trying to apply to a foreign arbitration institution they had previously chosen, when choosing arbitrators, experts and representatives. These problems arise at all stages of the proceedings: from its initiation and ending with the recognition and enforcement of the decision. The paper discusses the main problems and provides recommendations for their solution, supported by examples of judicial and arbitration practice, as well as references to the rules of regulations of various arbitration institutions (LCIA, ICC, SCC, HKIAC, SIAC, DIAC, ISTAC). Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the most effective ways to minimize the impact of sanctions on the proceedings are: 1) the choice of arbitration located in a neutral jurisdiction; 2) choice of ad hoc arbitration; 3) conclusion of alternative arbitration clauses; 4) an application to the Russian arbitration court with a statement recognizing its exclusive jurisdiction to resolve the dispute under Art. 248.1 APC RF.
On the Formation of Administrative and Legal Regulation of the Forest Climate Projects Implementation in Russia
Authors: Gershinkova D. A.
Published: August 2023

The paper discusses the features of the administrative and legal regulation of forest climate projects being formed in Russia. Russia has one fifth of the world’s forests, which play an important role in the country’s carbon balance, compensate for almost 30% of national anthropogenic emissions and determine the potential for the implementation of forest climate projects in the country. Forest climate projects are one of the types of climate projects, the legal framework of which is established by Federal Law No. 296‑FZ of 02.07.2021 «On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions» and regulations adopted in accordance with it. However, general approaches do not take into account some features of forest climate projects, such as the long-term nature of projects, the need to maintain the result for decades at high risks of losses due to forest fires, illegal logging, insect pests, etc. That is, it is important to further develop the regulatory framework, taking into account the special requirements for forest climate projects, as well as the norms of state forest management and relevant international practices, including those formed under the auspices of the Paris Agreement. The paper analyzes the rights and obligations of participants involved in the implementation of forest-climatic projects, and the possibility of implementing projects on the lands of the forest fund and agricultural lands. Approaches to eliminate the existing legal gaps are proposed.
