ЧАСОПИСИ «НОВИНЫ» І «ПЧОЛА»: ПОШУК НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ІДЕНТИЧНОСТІ
Authors: ҐАБОР Василь
Published: July 2023

У статті проаналізовано два періодичні видання доби «Весни народів» — «Новины» (1849) і «Пчола» (1849) — за редакцією Івана Гушалевича (1823—1903) через призму пошуку їхніми авторами свого національного «я». Маркером національної ідентичності було передовсім тогочасне найменування автохтонного населення Галицької Русі як русинів, «руского нарôда» («русскій народъ»), себто українського, яке було відмінним від означення російського народу. Такого розмежування чітко дотримувалася редакція політичного часопису «Новины», що засвідчувала, наприклад, рубрика «Россія», у якій російську армію названо «россїйской», а царя — «Цћсаръ Россїйскїй». Натомість редакція історико-літературного часопису «Пчола» називала «русскім народом» як три народи — «великорусскій», «білорусскій» і «малорусскій», так і автохтонне населення Галицької Русі. Таким чином, вона робила плутанину в головах тогочасних галицьких русинів і не сприяла усвідомленню ними своєї національної ідентичності.

У статті з’ясовано, що у складних суспільно-політичних та економічних реаліях того часу часописи політичного («Новины») й історико-літературного («Пчола») спрямування унаочнили, як їх автори у завуальованих поетичних образах відображали ідею єдності етнічних українських земель, розділених між двома імперіями — Російською і Австрійською. Реальне ж втілення цієї єдності вбачали передовсім в об’єднанні русинів Галицької та Угорської Русі в окрему провінцію у межах Австрійської держави.

З’ясовано також, що важливим чинником національної ідентичності були рідна мова та ставлення до неї авторів. Спільність коріння українців усіх етнічних земель засвідчували читачам опубліковані в часописах художні твори та літописи, історичні нариси, етнографічні й наукові статті, зокрема переспіване Богданом Дідицьким «Слово о полку Игоревомъ», уривки з «Енеїди» Івана Котляревського і його ж «Пћсня на новый 1805 годъ… Князю Олексћю Борисовичу Куракину» тощо.

Проаналізовані публікації засвідчують прагнення українців до єдності на історичному, мовному й духовному рівнях
ПРОЗА ІВАНА ФРАНКА: ДО ҐЕНЕЗИ ФЕНОМЕНА
Authors: ЛЕГКИЙ Микола
Published: July 2023

У статті з’ясовано найголовніші психобіографічні чинники, котрі формували феномен Івана Франка та ідеологічні й художньо-естетичні обриси його прози середини 1870–1880-хроків. У виробленн іпсихотипу письменника вагому роль відіграли постаті батька, коваля Якова Франка, та бабусі по матері Людвіки Кульчицької; любов до природи й пієтет перед нею, невгамовний потяг до знань, до пізнання таємниць особистости, соціуму й світобудови, прагнення бути першим і найкращим, постійний духовий та інтелектуальний розвиток через перманентний процес читання, захоплення усною народною творчістю. На кшталтування його літературного смаку мали найбільший вплив гімназійні учителі Іван Верхратський та Юліан Турчинський, а безпосереднім поштовхом до писання став приклад гімназійних товаришів Ізидора Пасічинського й Дмитра Вінцковського. Художній смак формувала гімназійна лектура, а саме твори провідних українських та зарубіжних письменників. На створення оригінального художнього світу мала неабиякий вплив перекладацька діяльність Франка. Прагнучи познайомити українсько-руського читача зі здобутками інших літератур, він перекладацьким оком зумів охопити найширші художні простори – літературу й фольклор не лише багатьох народів Європи, а й Азії, Африки, Америки, Австралії. Звичайно, неменш вагомим прицьому був процес творчого переосмислення «запозичених» тем і мотивів, надання їм відповідного колориту, власне франківського «клімату», підпорядкування структурним та стильовим вимогам конкретного твору. Оригінальною творчістю Франко ввійшов у літературу в той час, коли сам стан тогочасного суспільного життя й розвитку літератури зобов’язував його вирішувати нові завдання, порушувати нові проблеми, виховувати нового читача. Для Франка-письменника, тодішнього студента університету, неабияке значення мали не лише лекції та семінари Юліана Охоровича, а й його наукові психологічні розвідки про душу людини й особливості її виявів, методологію досліджень душевного життя  особистости. Майже немає сумнівів, що Франко добре знав основні ідеї свого вчителя якщо не безпосередньо з друкованих  праць, то з лекційних викладів ісемінарських занять. Методологію вивчення внутрішнього боку життя людини молодий письменник нерідко застосовував на практиці, в художній творчості.
Predation potential of flower fly Eupeodes nuba (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Syrphidae) on black bean aphid Aphis fabae Scopoli (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and the parasitoids species on its host in the field
Authors: Alkhafaji Sahar M. S. , Ahmed Qasim
Published: July 2023

The flower fly species, Eupeodes nuba (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Syrphidae) is crucial for agroecosystems as it provides various ecosystem services such as pest control through the use of predatory larvae and crop pollination by adults. In this research, the consumption rate of different instars of Aphis fabae (Scopoli, 1763) by E. nuba larvae has been studied under laboratory conditions at 25±2 °C, 60±10% humidity (RH). Fifty aphids and one larva of flower fly were present in each replicate. The results showed that the maximum number of A. fabae consumed by the larvae of E. nuba was 49.13 individuals at the third instar, followed by 35.73 individuals of aphids at the second instar and 16.26 individuals for the first instar of the predator. The highest daily consumption of aphids occurred during the third instar of the predator. A. fabae was heavily parasitized by different aphid parasitoids, Binodoxys acalephae (Marshall, 1896), Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall, 1896), and Aphelinus asychis (Walker, 1839) on the broad bean. Parasitization rates of these parasitoids increased during the broad bean plant season. The first recording of A. fabae as a new host for A. psychic. The survey of three parasitoids indicated that L. fabarum had the highest population in December, the parasitoid B. acalephae was the highest in January, and the highest population of A. asychis was recorded in February. It seems that biological control can be used as an alternative to chemical pesticides to control A. fabae.

Published: July 2023

SARS-COV-2 is transmitted among human beings by saliva droplets that come in direct contact with the oral cavity, nose, and eyes. Since the mouth is one of the anatomical sites primarily contaminated, oral manifestations have also been reported beyond the serious consequences inherent to progressive respiratory failure. This study aimed to identify oral manifestations possibly related to the infection by COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. A prospective study was carried out with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the period between March and June 2021, admitted to the Moderate COVID-19 Care Unit of the Hans Dieter Schmidt Regional Hospital, by applying a form and performing a clinical exam of the oral cavity. Out of all patients (n=45), 33.3% reported both olfactory (anosmia) and taste dysfunction (dysgeusia), with an average duration of 5.9 ±3.0 days. Regarding other oral manifestations evaluated, two patients reported dry and burning mouth and one patient reported a change in taste associated with plaque-like changes in the tongue. No patients presented ulcers or other lesions in the oral cavity. Olfactory and taste dysfunction were symptoms recognized of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, the association with other oral manifestations is still controversy. Unfortunately, dentistry professionals are still not part of most teams in the hospital environment, mostly because of the lack of prioritization of dental care. Working with a multidisciplinary team may avoid possible systemic complications due to poor dental care.

Published: July 2023

Objectives:

Understanding the onset of embryonic arrest by studying the morphology of the embryos at different stages of their development is a relatively well-understood subject. The qualitative nature of the study makes it difficult to determine and quantify the causes behind the arrest. For successful embryonic development, it is essential to know, non-destructively, and the developmental viability of the embryos at a particular stage.

Material and Methods:

We investigate the bulk stiffness and recovery time as the viability quantifiers for grading or classifying embryos at the two-cell stage or after the formation of the first cleavage. A simple cantilever beam-based experimental procedure is established to investigate two-cell mouse embryos in two distinct orientations.

Results:

Bulk stiffness measurement varies with the embryo’s orientation and deformation. A good quality two-cell embryo shows a significant decrease in stiffness ratio with the deformation. Also, the embryo’s recovery time after releasing deformation may indicate a quality-dependent correlation.

Conclusion:

Our study concludes that the bulk stiffness measurements in the two principal orientations, their ratio, and recovery time correlate with the underlying morphology of two-cell stage mouse embryos.

With the benefits that are so important, therefore the road construction and maintenance sector become a priority to be researched and developed in planning, implementing, and maintaining it.  At the location of Jalan Khatulistiwa section, most of the road surface conditions are in moderate condition so the recommendation for improving road surface conditions is periodic maintenance on 56 segments and the other 13 segments are carried out routine maintenance. In the IRI measurement using the Roadroid application, there is a tendency to produce an IRI value that is greater than the IRI measurement using a laser profilometer, but the IRI value obtained by Roadroid tends to approach the IRI value as measured by a laser profilometer with an average percentage difference per segment of 2.91% with 2 segments that have different conditions. Based on the provisions of Pd-01-2021-BM, the IRI value test of the Roadroid has met the requirements as a class III measure of unevenness (IRI).

Pathway regulation of chemical reactions is an important means of precision chemistry. As an extremely important chromogenic substrate, 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) generally undertakes one-electron oxidation, but the reaction product (TMBox1), a confused complex, is unstable, which significantly hampers the practical applications, such as clinic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Herein, we report that sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-based micelles could promote the direct two-electron oxidation pathway of TMB into more stable TMBox2. Different to the common processes of one-electron TMB oxidation by homogeneous peroxidase (POD) or other emerging heterogeneous nanocatalysts, the confused complex consisted of TMB and TMBox1 was successfully decoupled by SDS micelles via spatial isolation and electrostatic effect. As a proof-of-concept application, glucose oxidase and SDS micelles were cascaded for glucose detection, and the selective two-electron oxidation of TMB endowed enhanced reliability and broader detection range of glucose chromogenic bioassays without any conventional strong acid termination.

Published: July 2023

Macrocyclic, dimeric lactones have known pharmacological activities that make them attractive synthetic targets but are typically synthesized following an iterative approach. Herein, we report a visible light-mediated approach to macrocyclic dimers that allows access to 1- and 2-azetine-containing dimeric lactones. Notably, up to 30-membered macrocycles are formed following this strategy that results in 1-azetine dimers via four consecutive triplet energy transfers, while 2-azetines are formed in a sequence relying on two consecutive triplet energy transfers. Computational investigations provide important insights into the reaction mechanism, suggesting that intermolecular [2+2]-cycloadditions are preferred under non-standard Curtin-Hammett conditions over the corresponding intramolecular reaction.

Deep learning has become a powerful and frequently employed tool for the prediction of molecular properties, thus creating a need for open-source and versatile software solutions that can be operated by non-experts. Among current approaches, directed message-passing neural networks (D-MPNNs) have proven to perform well on a variety of property prediction tasks. The software package Chemprop implements the D-MPNN architecture, and offers simple, easy, and fast access to machine-learned molecular properties. Compared to its initial version, we present a multitude of new Chemprop functionalities such as the support of multi-molecule properties, reactions, atom/bond-level properties, and spectra. Further, we incorporate various uncertainty quantification and calibration methods along with related metrics, as well as pretraining and transfer learning workflows, improved hyperparameter optimization, and other customization options concerning loss functions or atom/bond features. We benchmark D-MPNN models trained using Chemprop with the new reaction, atom-level and spectra functionality on a variety of property prediction datasets, including MoleculeNet and SAMPL, and observe state-of-the-art performance on the prediction of water-octanol partition coefficients, reaction barrier heights, atomic partial charges, and absorption spectra. Chemprop enables out-of-the-box training of D-MPNN models for a variety of problem settings in a fast, user-friendly, and open-source software.
Catalysis Driven by an Amyloid-Substrate Complex
Authors: Sawazaki Taka , Sasaki Daisuke , Sohma Youhei
Published: July 2023

Amyloid catalysis is an emerging area of research. Here, we report a new catalysis system, i.e., catalysis driven by amyloid-substrate complex (CASL), by exploiting amyloid binding with the ligands. The ammonium ion attached to the amyloid-binding motif was activated by its proximity to the amyloid catalyst, formed by Ac-Asn-Phe-Gly-Ala-Ile-Leu-NH2 (NL6) derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), thereby promoting amine modifications in the acidic buffer. Consistent with the mode of action of CASL, the affinity of the substrates with amyloid catalysts correlated with the reaction yields. In addition, the direction of the amine extension from the amyloid-binding site markedly influenced the reaction progress. Crystallographic analysis and amide-to-ester substitution of the amyloid catalysts indicated that the carbonyl oxygen of the Phe–Gly amide bond of NL6 played a key role in activating the substrate amine via forming a hydrogen bond. With CASL, we succeeded in the selective conversion of substrates possessing equivalently reactive amine functionalities and introduced a new reaction scope (various amine modifications) to catalytic reactions using amyloids. The substrate-selective conversion ability of CASL significantly expands the applicability of catalytic amyloids in diverse research fields, including chemical biology and materials science.

Published: July 2023

Due to their wider spread, higher concentrations, and bioavailability, nanoplastics (nPs) pose great ecological hazards both in the marine and freshwater ecosystems. To evaluate their toxicity in the model freshwater organism Daphnia magna, and how the nPs how the particles translocate from the intestine, the primary organ of accumulation, to the other body parts, is an important phenomenon. In the current effort, we addressed the phenomenon of inner organ translocation of the nPs and suggested plausible mechanism of the process with the help of a model nPS and confocal surface-enhances Raman mapping. We synthesized a polystyrene coated-nanogold ‘core-shell' particle (nPS@nAu), conjugated with a Raman reporter, 4-mercapto benzoic acid to the (4-MBA). This dual functional model nanoplastic (model nPS) fulfills the purpose of nP as well as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nano-probe. Upon exposure, the Daphnia showed uptake of the model nPSs mainly in the intestine tract. Further exposure (beyond 4 h at model nPS concentration of 10 mg/L) exhibited inter organ migration of the model nPSs to other parts in the Daphnia body. Translocation of the model nPSs was observed with the help of multilayer stack Raman mapping of the SERS signals coming from the model nPSs.
