Cellular mechanisms of age-dependent bone remodeling
Authors: Plekhova Natalya G. , Krivolutskaya Polina A. , Chernenko Ivan N.
Published: July 2024

The structural integrity of the skeleton is ensured by the constant remodeling of bone tissue, which is based on the functioning and interaction of osteolytic cells (osteoclasts) and bone tissue forming cells (osteoblasts/osteocytes). Despite the general understanding that the degree of mineralization of the bone matrix determines the fragility of the skeleton, there is currently insufficient information about its age-related changes associated with the functioning of these cells. The purpose of the review is to evaluate existing data on age-related bone changes associated with the functional state of mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts/osteocytes and osteoclasts. Inclusion criteria: randomized or non-randomized controlled studies examining age-related bone change. A search for studies in the field of bone tissue condition was carried out in electronic scientific databases Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library by keywords and their combinations using the AMSTAR 2 program. The selection of publications (59 out of 680 included) was carried out randomly, after which three authors independently assessed their methodological quality. The main pathogenetic mechanism involved in bone loss with age is a decrease in the formation of osteoblasts with impairment of their ability to osteogenic differentiation. Osteocytes in old age are subject to excessive and prolonged stress, which causes unbalanced autophagy and apoptosis, which leads to changes in their ability to deposit and mineralize extracellular organic matrix. With age, accelerated osteoclastogenesis occurs, mediated by osteoblasts, which leads to increased expression of certain receptors at the level of bone stromal cells and osteoblasts. The presented literature data demonstrate convincing evidence that an increase in bone resorption due to complex metabolic processes with age occurs against the background of an increase in the number and activity of osteoclasts, apoptosis of osteoblasts with a decrease in their metabolic activity, as well as a redistribution of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards adipocytes. The results presented in the review can be used as a basis for developing diagnostic criteria for identifying senile osteoporosis and the risk of fractures.

The Finale of the “Enlightenment Project” for the West and East. Part IV. Western Europe Becomes the West
Authors: Yakovlev Alexander I.
Published: July 2024

This part (Part I see: [Yakovlev, 2023a], Part II see: [Yakovlev, 2023b], Part III see: [Yakovlev, 2024]) examines the economic and social processes that ultimately formed Europe, that began to turn into a world leader. The main reasons for the “luck of the victorious West” and the “bad luck of the losing non-West” are named, which led to a change in their roles in the world. In the weak and poor western part of the vast Eurasian continent, processes unfolded that were not similar to the development of most of Eurasia, which remained with a reliable agricultural economy and an all-powerful state to which the peoples submitted. In Western Europe, new institutions are emerging in cities — universities and banks, crafts and trade are developing, which together turns cities into centers of public life alternative to the crown. Money is separated from power. A possible alternative — a more complete realization of the ideals of the Enlightenment (freedom, equality and justice) — could not be realized. Taken together, the socio-economic and cultural-spiritual breakthrough in this part of Europe led to the division of Europe and the world into the West and the non-West and marked the beginning of the centuries-long “Rise of the West”.
The Character of the “Unreliable Narrator” in Ahmet Ümit’s Novel “To Kill the Sultan”
Authors: Repenkova Maria M.
Published: July 2024

Using the example of the novelistic work of the famous modern Turkish writer Ahmet Ümit, the paper examines one of the most common literary characters of detective literature — the character of an “unreliable narrator”. The purpose of the work is to study this character in compositional and plot terms using the example of Ahmet Ümit’s novel “Kill the Sultan” (2012). The goal is determined by the following tasks: To show the milestones in the development of the Turkish detective story, of which the 1990s stand out as determining in the formation of the main paradigmatic features of the genre; trace the creative biography of Ahmet Ümit; show the place of reception of the “unreliable narrator” and the associated image in the writer’s novelism; study the plot of the novel “Kill the Sultan” to prove that the central character of the novel is the character of the “unreliable narrator” Mushtaq Bey, described with psychological depth. In conclusion, it is surmised that the image of the “unreliable narrator,” which, according to the writer’s plan, is constantly “stratified” into a criminal-victim and a criminal-detective, performs an innovative function in Ahmet Ümit’s work. He does not trivialize, but problematizes the novel’s action, filling the detective intrigue with deep psychologism. For the first time, the Turkish mass reader is presented with the image of a reflective intellectual trying to self-determinate, that is, to answer the question “Who am I really?”
Indian Himalayas Ecosystem: Technological Civilization’s Challenges and Lessons of Man-made Catastrophes. Part II
Authors: Chelyshev Dmitry Ye.
Published: July 2024

In the first part of the article (see: [Chelyshev, 2024]), relying on excerpts from ancient Indian sacred texts and a vast layer of later religious philosophical and epic literature of India, the author substantiates the thesis that the social consciousness of the inhabitants of the country, formed on their basis, was permeated with the idea of the deification of nature and its inextricable connection with human life. Using numerous examples, the second part of the article shows, how these traditional ideas conflict with the needs and interests of modern society, which often leads to tragic consequences and has a detrimental effect on the fragile ecological system of the Himalayas.

Published: July 2024

Introducción: la medición del nivel de actividad física y el gasto energético diario es una tarea compleja, dado que involucra diversos aspectos del entorno y la rutina de vida de cada individuo. No se encuentran herramientas de bajo coste para medir el gasto energético en deportistas colombianos en silla de ruedas. Objetivo: determinar la validez de constructo convergente de la escala PASIPD-C con una medida de gasto energético objetiva en deportistas colombianos en silla de ruedas. Materiales y métodos: estudio de validez instrumental, con un diseño transversal. Participaron 44 deportistas en silla de ruedas, con edad media de 35,5 ± 1,5 años de diferentes disciplinas deportivas. Se utilizó un acelerómetro durante siete días como estimador directo del gasto energético y para establecer la correlación con el PASIPD-C. Se midieron datos sociodemográficos, antropométricos y deportivos. La variable resultado fue el MET (índice metabólico en reposo)/hora/día, estimado mediante el cuestionario y calculado a través del acelerómetro. Se realizó análisis univariado y bivariado, al igual que las pruebas paramétricas T de Student y ANOVA, y la prueba F de Snedecor. La correlación entre variables se determinó a través del estadístico Spearman. Se utilizó paquete estadístico SPSS versión 24. Resultados: El 75 % obtuvo un IMC normal y 89 % presentó alguna discapacidad adquirida; la causa más frecuente fue el trauma raquimedular. Los coeficientes de correlación de Pearson para la variable MET/hora/día fueron bajos (rho = 0,2; p = 0,17) entre las mediciones con el acelerómetro y la escala PASIPD-C. Hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el gasto energético registrado por el PASIPD-C según el tipo de deporte practicado. Conclusión: El PASIPD-C presentó correlaciones bajas, comparado con mediciones objetivas utilizando un acelerómetro en deportistas con discapacidad física dependientes de silla de ruedas. El cuestionario presenta validez de constructo convergente baja y podría subestimar el nivel de actividad física.

Introduction: In early January 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, in vitro and animal studies showed preliminary positive results for repurposing drugs. Healthcare professionals had to critically assess the vast and emerging literature with an evidence-based approach to best clinical practices. Objective: The objective of this paper was to describe and reflect on the integration of a meta-research with a university extension program to promote critical reading of COVID-19 scientific studies among undergraduates. The meta-research aims to map the evidence and to estimate the prevalence of biases in comparative studies evaluating repurposing drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 during the pandemic. Methods: We integrated an online training on literature critical appraisal with a systematic review of methods. We searched for “COVID-19” and repurposed drug-related terms in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and LILACS by January 10th, 2022. Two independent researchers reviewed titles and abstracts and comparative studies had data fully extracted, including risk-of-bias. Results: A total of 171 students in Brazil signed into the online critical appraisal course. Of those, 24 were invited to collaborate with the meta-research, after robust evidence critical appraisal training. During the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021), 30.896 references assessed repurposing drug were identified and 6.246 papers were included. Our preliminary data showed 146 randomized controlled trials (RCT) with the word “randomized” in the title and 146 cohort studies identified by the word “cohort” in the title or abstract. Conclusions: The health emergency, there was an important volume of articles on interventions for COVID-19. Our preliminary results suggest that less than 5% of these studies were comparative longitudinal studies, being that most of the pertinent articles represent a challenge to be critically assessed, and probably have low level of evidence for clinical decision making. Our extension activity highlighted the interests of undergraduate healthcare students in developing skills on critical review of scientific articles. Thus, the experience of integrating university extension activity with research allows linking the community with knowledge generation.

Authors: Rekadze P. D.
Published: July 2024

The paper, using the example of an external gear pump, considers the solution of the problem of determining the node for separating the source of oscillations and the system of elements of the flow path is considered in order to simplify the study and analysis of hydrodynamic processes behind the source of oscillations. To separate the source of oscillations and the system of elements of the flow path, an experimental approach is used, during which the characteristic of pressure pulsations according to the “tooth” harmonic is determined behind the pump interacting with the serial RLC-circuit. An experimental study using dynamic analogies, methods of classical logic and methods of circuit theory made it possible to determine the connection node of the oscillations source and the system of elements of the flow path on the equivalent circuit, and in the graphic image of the flow part of the pump - to determine the corresponding section.

Published: July 2024

The article deals with the creation of dampers for pressure fluctuations of the working medium to solve the problem of reducing hydrodynamic noise in pipeline systems. It has been established that to solve this problem, it is possible to use reactive chamber vibration dampers provided that the condition of limiting the overall dimensions and the turbulent self-noise emitted by the narrow central channel is met. It is shown that meeting the requirements for a low self-noise level of such dampers leads to a significant increase in their overall dimensions, which is unacceptable for pipeline systems of on-board vehicles.
INFLUENCE OF NOTCH DEPTH ON MULTI-CYCLE FATIGUE OF SPECIMENS UNDER OUTSTRIPPING SURFACE PLASTIC DEFORMATION
Authors: Pavlov Valentin F. , Vakulyuk Vladimir S. , Sazanov Vyacheslav P. , Semenova Ol'ga Yu. , Matveeva Karina F.
Published: July 2024

The influence of the notch depth of a semicircular profile on the multi-cycle fatigue of solid and hollow cylindrical samples made of steel 20 with diameter 25 mm under outstripping surface plastic deformation was studied. It was revealed that with an increase in the notch depth from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm, the endurance limit of notched samples decreases with the same hardening treatment. To maintain the hardening effect during multi-cycle fatigue with increasing notch depth, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the hardened surface layer of the samples with outstripping surface plastic deformation. It has been established that to assess the influence of surface hardening on the endurance limit of samples with notches of various depths, one should use the criterion of average integral residual stresses calculated from the thickness of the surface layer of the dangerous cross-section of the sample, equal to the critical depth of a non-propagating fatigue crack.

Authors: Kiseleva Polina I. , Pechenina Ekaterina Yu. , Pechenin Vadim A.
Published: July 2024

A cascade algorithm has been developed that allows identification of contents in production containers. The algorithm consists of two stages: detection of container cells and classification of the contents of each cell. The proposed algorithm makes it possible to achieve a classification accuracy of 89% when trained on a relatively small sample size than would be required when using a direct part detection algorithm, without the cell detection stage. The algorithm is thus suitable for use in environmental monitoring systems in aerospace manufacturing.

The incidence of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is rising due to increased awareness of the condition and detection of new autoantibodies. Coinciding with this rise are false positive autoantibodies without clinical correlates. Objective: To explore the clinical profiles of Omani patients who are truly positive for AE autoantibodies and compare them with those with false-positive autoantibodies. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients who tested positive for AE antibody from May 2016 to December 2022. Cases were verified by three neurologists based on the existing criteria for AE. Results: The participants comprised N = 67 patients, 19 (28%) of whom fulfilled the criteria for AE. True-positive AE patients were younger with mean age of 35.3 ± 4.7 years (p = 0.010). They were also more likely to present with subacute memory disturbances (6/19; 32%; p = 0.030), seizures (12; 63%; p = 0.028), abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) findings (10; 65%; p = 0.040), and abnormal signals in limbic region on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (5; 26%; p = 0.010). Subacute memory disturbance was a significant predictor for true positivity (OR = 17.807, 95%CI = 1.608–197.202; p = 0.019). Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis was the most frequent type of AE (8; 42.1%), followed by anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) (4; 21.1%). Conclusion: Of the 67 cases with positive AE autoantibody panel, 48 (72%) were false-positive. The presence of subacute memory impairment was a significant predictor of AE. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis was the most frequent AE encountered in our cohort.

The synthesis of spinels was realized by preliminary mechanical activation of reagent mixture and subsequent heat treatment at 750°С. It has been shown that doped samples LiMn1.9M0.05Li0.05O4 (M = Co, Ni, Cr, Fe) are characterized by the average particle size of about 200–300 nm, insignificant decrease of cell parameters, enhanced stability under cycling in the 3.0–4.5 V range and at high current density, as well as at storage in the contact with electrolyte.
On the Constitutional Law Definition of Supervision Exercised by Prosecution Authorities of the Russian Federation and Its Reflection in Regulatory Acts
Authors: Artemenkov Vladimir K. ,   Senior Prosecutor of the Legal Directorate of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, PhD (Law)
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of defining the constitutional-legal concepts of “supervision over compliance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the execution of laws” and “supervision over the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms” contained in the provision of part 1 of article 129 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Due to the fact that these concepts are not limited to the scope of supervision of the activities of specific subjects of law, it is concluded that they are broader in scope and content of the concepts of “supervision of the execution of laws” and “supervision of the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms”, enshrined in the titles of chapters 1 and 2 of section III of the Federal Law No. 2202-1 of January 17, 1992 “On the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation”. The author believes that the supervisory function of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation has not been defined by federal law in its full constitutional-legal scope and content to date. In this regard, the hypothesis is put forward and substantiated that, in the part undefined by federal law, certain areas of supervision can be determined by regulatory legal acts of the President of the Russian Federation and (or) the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation.

Authors: Arkhipkin Igor V. ,   Professor of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law of the Baikal State University, Doctor of Economics
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of the importance of legal principles as the basis for ensuring the status of special subjects of law on the example of the status of a judge. The main attention is paid to the principle of their inviolability. The correlation of this principle with the principle of judicial independence is revealed, where, in the author’s opinion, the former serves as a condition for ensuring the latter. Guarantees of the inviolability of judges established by industry legislation are being considered. It is concluded that for the authority of the judiciary, which judges bear, the principle of their inviolability is a factor demonstrating their special status, which is necessary for judges to perform a constitutionally significant function of administering justice and maintaining respect from society.

Authors: Zamaratsky Lev A. ,   Postgraduate Student of the Department of Public Law of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law
Published: July 2024

The principle of citizens' participation in the budget process, the content of which is not normatively detailed, extends its effect to legal relations within which it is determined that citizens are not participants in the budget process and do not have budgetary powers. In the context of the need for scientific substantiation of the content of this principle of the budget system of the Russian Federation, an approach to determining the specifics of the legal regulation of citizens' participation in the budget process through the participation of citizens in the management of state affairs and local self-government is presented. Within the framework of this approach, a number of forms of citizen participation in the management of state affairs and in local self-government are analyzed from the perspective of the budgetary and legal foundations of their implementation.

THE INSTITUTION OF RECUSALS IN PROCEDURAL LAW. LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUES
Authors: Verdiyan Grigory V. ,   Judge Emeritus of the Moscow Regional Court, PhD (Law), Associate Professor
Published: July 2024

The subject of study in this article are provisions of the Civil Procedure Code, the Code of Commercial Procedure and the Code of Administrative Proceedings of the Russian Federation that regulate matters of recusal of judges and the existing judicial practice. The author finds the existing institutions of recusals not fully compliant with the principles of legality and procedural economy, which creates prerequisites for abuse of procedural rights of parties to a case. Justifying the need for improvement of laws, the author suggests supplementing the existing norms of procedural codes with provisions to unify approaches towards authorizing recusals and minimizing opportunities for abuse of procedural rights in the event of applying for recusals without good reason.

Authors: Karabatak Nesrin , Gök Bahar , Budama-kılınc Yasemin
Published: July 2024

Ultraviolet (UV) rays damage DNA, causing adverse effects such as photoaging and cancer on the skin. For the well-being of individuals, there is a need to develop innovative skin products with high effectiveness using protective and therapeutic agents. In this context, in our study, A nanoemulsion (NE) formulation containing Ylang-ylang essential oil (YO), which has many biological active properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer, was produced by the ultrasonic emulsification method and characterized. The thermodynamic stability was evaluated, and its in vitro release profile determined the dialysis membrane technique. The cytotoxic effect of YO-NE was examined with the in vitro method on the HacaT cell line using the MTT method and in silico method using the ADMET profile. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) results showed that the average droplet size of the YO-NE formulation was 184.1±2.307 nm, the polydispersity index (PdI) was 0.151±0.006, and the Zeta potential (ζ) -10.8 ± 0.400 mV. As a result of in vitro release studies, it was observed that 99.98± 1.00% of YO release from NE occurred within 5 hours. Based on the thermodynamic stability test results, it was determined that the developed formulation did not show sedimentation or phase separation. Also, it remained stable under three different storage conditions in the three-month stability test. Cytotoxicity results revealed that the YO-NE formulation was safe. All the results indicated that the YO-NE formulation might be considered a non-toxic product candidate with physicochemical properties suitable for topical use.

Published: July 2024

A relevant learning space for academics, especially junior researchers, is the academic conference. While conference participation has long been associated with personal attendance at the conference venue, virtual participation is becoming increasingly important. This study investigates the perceived value of a purely virtual academic conference for its participants by analyzing the evaluation feedback (N = 759) from three virtual and two face-to-face LAK conferences. For the purposes of this study, we derive a definition of conference value and identify factors contributing to the overall value rating of virtual academic conferences based on the existing literature. Results indicate a perceived value of virtual conferences comparable with that of face-to-face events, satisfaction with social interaction and topics of interest being the most important predictors. Our insights show that virtual conferences are valuable events for academic professional development and conference organizers can utilize these results to design a valuable event for their participants.

Ficciones emotivas para la educación retórica en tres fábulas de Aftonio
Authors: Chialva Ivana Selene
Published: July 2024

La colección de fábulas del rétor Aftonio (Aphth.) consta de 40 modelos de este ejercicio. Algunos relatos, según nuestra hipótesis, conforman un corpus con “correlaciones agonales” donde subyace un programa didáctico en torno a las emociones y la persuasión. A partir de tres fábulas (Aphth. 7, 21, 16) que tematizan el acto de persuadir y el error de ser persuadido por un oponente: 1. analizaremos las ficciones emotivas individuales y colectivas para comprobar cómo sus “correlaciones agonales” modelan la evaluación cognitiva de ese error; 2. indagaremos si las emociones artificialmente creadas en la narrativa fabulística anticipan roles enunciativos y sus posibles afectos-efectos en una comunidad retórica futura.
¿Traducciones fieles en verso? El caso de los Virgilios mexicanos
Authors: Río Torres-Murciano Antonio
Published: July 2024

A la hora de traducir poesía, la alternativa entre prosa y verso se ha planteado frecuentemente como paralela al más amplio dilema entre fidelidad y libertad de la traducción. Sin embargo, este paralelismo puede ser puesto en cuestión hasta el punto en que la estricta oposición teórica entre fidelidady libertad resulta superada, como se muestra aquí por medio de un panorama comparativo de las prácticas traductoras seguidas por José Rafael Larrañaga, Joaquín Arcadio Pagaza y Rubén Bonifaz Nuño en sus respectivos traslados en verso de las tres obras mayores de Virgilio.

Аналіз організаційно-правового забезпечення діяльності медичних закладів на прикладі Комунального некомерційного підприємства «Вишнівська міська лікарня» Вишневої міської ради Бучанського району Київської області та його вплив на розвиток державного управління комунальними закладами охорони здоров’я в Україні.
Завдання дослідження: проаналізувати нормативно-правове забезпечення діяльності закладів охорони здоров’я; здійснити аналіз організаційно-правового забезпечення діяльності медичних закладів на прикладі Комунального некомерційного підприємства «Вишнівська міська лікарня» Вишневої міської ради Бучанського району Київської області у 2020–2022 роках; визначити особливості діяльності Комунального некомерційного підприємства «Вишнівська міська лікарня» Вишневої міської ради Бучанського району Київської області в умовах трансформації галузі.
Встановлено, що організаційно-правові засади діяльності комунальних закладів охорони здоров’я визначаються у законодавстві України та Статутах медичногоих закладів.

Аналіз організаційно-правової діяльності комунального закладу охорони здоров’я на прикладі КНП «Вишнівська міська лікарня» дав можливість сегментувати медичні послуги за такими показниками діяльності: за цільовою аудиторією ― пацієнтами (чоловіки, жінки, діти), це свідчить про те, що КНП є багатопрофільним медичним закладом для дорослих і дітей; за територіальною ознакою (міські та сільські жителі) встановлено, що діяльність КНП орієнтована надавати медичну допомогу міському населенню.
Особливістю діяльності КНП є проведення профілактичних оглядів, що надає можливість виявити (попередити) професійні, інфекційні та хронічні неінфекційні захворювання. Здійснений аналіз чисельності персоналу КНП та аналіз укомплектованості медичного пер- соналу, дає можливість зробити висновок, що особливістю діяльності КНП є надання спеціалізованої медичної допомоги як в стаціонарних умовах, так і в амбулаторних, а також екстреної та первинної медичної допомоги.

Warum die Rede von der „Weltreligionendidaktik“ und ihren Implikationen problematisch ist
Authors: Schambeck sf Mirjam
Published: July 2024

Der Artikel widmet sich einer othering-sensiblen und postkolonialitätsbewussten Analyse des Begriffs „Weltreligionen“ und der damit einhergehenden „Didaktik der Weltreligionen“ und untersucht deren Auswirkungen auf religionspädagogische Handlungsfelder. Diese Beobachtungen werden mit Einsichten aus der Migrationspädagogik und der Interkulturellen Theologie verschränkt, so dass daraus Schlussfolgerungen für eine machtsensible und sprecher*innenpositionsbewusste Rede in Bezug auf „interreligiöse“ Lern- und Bildungsprozesse gezogen werden können, die im Sinne einer Checkliste der „must attends“ für die Gestaltung von entsprechenden Lehrmaterialien und Unterrichtspraxen zusammengefasst werden.

Published: July 2024

The objective of this study is to explore the relationships between product knowledge, brand image, and brand loyalty in the mobile phone brands context. Specifically, the study investigates the effect of product knowledge level on brand image and brand loyalty, the effect of brand image on brand loyalty, and how brand image mediates the effect of product knowledge on the brand loyalty of mobile phone users. The participants of the study were mobile phone users in the prominent cities of Turkey. A total of 426 participants were identified with the utilization of convenience sampling methodology and the data collection process was executed through a questionnaire distributed electronically. The results of the study confirmed the direct positive and significant effects of the product knowledge level of consumers on brand image and brand loyalty. On the other hand, the image perception of consumers regarding the mobile phone brand is found to have a significant and positive direct effect on brand loyalty. When brand image is included in the model as a mediating variable, the direct effect of product knowledge on brand loyalty turns into an insignificant one, which confirms the mediating role of brand image on the effect of product knowledge on brand loyalty.
