Antibiotic sensitivity analysis of clinical coagulase-negative staphylococci
Authors: Kononova L. I. , Lemkina L. M. , Korobov V. P.
Published: July 2022

Background. The increasing role of coagulase-negative staphylococci in the occurrence of staphylococcal infections leads to the need for close attention to them. Special control is required over the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics and the spread of methicillin resistance, as a sign of multiple resistance to antibacterial drugs. It is also important to identify the virulence factors of coagulase-negative staphylococci, which determine their behavior in the environment.The aim. To evaluate the sensitivity of strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci to clinically significant antibiotics daptomycin, vancomycin, linezolid and oxacillin and lantibiotic warnerin.Methods. Determination of the minimal inhibitory concentrations of antibacterial compounds for clinical coagulase-negative staphylococci by standard methods of serial dilutions and disc diffusion. Identification of the phenomenon of decreased susceptibility of bacteria to vancomycin by population analysis and concentration gradient. Lipid analysis by thin layer chromatography. Results. High antibacterial activity of vancomycin, daptomycin and linezolid against clinical strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci was shown. The upper limit of the minimum inhibitory concentrations of vancomycin within the sensitive phenotype and the expansion of the ranges of the minimum inhibitory concentrations of daptomycin and warnerin towards an increase in oxacillin-resistant isolates were revealed. The heterogeneous nature of sensitivity to vancomycin of the cultures of the studied strains and the possibility of their rapid enrichment with subpopulations with reduced sensitivity to this antibiotic have been established. The selection of resistance of coagulase-negative staphylococci to vancomycin was accompanied by an increase in the synthesis of lysylphosphatidylglycerol and a decrease in their sensitivity to cationic peptide compounds.Conclusion. The revealed prevalence of the methicillin-resistant phenotype of clinical strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci, along with the presence in the lipid spectrum of the universal factor of resistance to cationic antibacterial compounds, lysylphosphatidylglycerol, entails the need for new methodological solutions for diagnosing infections caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci.
Appropriating Copland’s Fanfare
Authors: Kleppinger Stanley V.
Published: July 2022

This video explores the stylistic and associative evolution of the emblematic sound Aaron Copland forged in his Fanfare for the Common Man (1942). This style, called here the triumphant exordium, consists of a constellation of specific musical features that has been imitated and troped by other composers—and by Copland himself—to carve out musical landscapes with evocative expressive qualities that include both clear and ambiguous connections with Americana. After summarizing the Fanfare’s original musical and extra-musical contexts, this video illuminates this legacy through three case studies.

Learning the book of al-Akhl?q li al-Ban?n must be accompanied by other methods of moral internalization to achieve maximum results.
Le reali contro-indicazioni all’utilizzo della metformina
Authors: Piro Salvatore
Published: July 2022

Metformin, a molecule belonging to the biguanide family, is one of the best known and most widely used drug for the management of diabetes mellitus therapy in the world.
During sixty years of its use, countless benefits have been described, not only for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, due to sim-ilarity with other members of the drug family, concern remains high about the risk of developing lactic acidosis. This article attempts to take stock of the real risks associated with the use of metformin, trying to shed light on the real risks and the possible onset of lactic acidosis or renal damage. Metformin-induced lactic acidosis exists but is rare. Appropriate use of the drug, under safe conditions, induces benefits in the absence of risks.
Metformina farmaco anti-aging? Tra promesse ed evidenze
Authors: Cataldo Vittoria , Paolisso Giuseppe
Published: July 2022

Biological aging results from molecular and cellular damage over time. This process determines a progressive decrease in physical and functional capacity, an increased risk of disease and death. Therefore, the identification of the molecular mechanisms of aging has led to research for senotherapeutic strategies. Metformin is an oral hypo¬glycaemic drug. It is the first choice for the treatment of type 2 dia-betes mellitus (T2DM). However, clinical and preclinical evidence has shown the beneficial effects of metformin also in cardiovascular dis-eases, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging. This editorial explores the recent evidence on metformin as an anti-aging drug.
Wittgenstein vs. Socrates: Wittgenstein and Plato
Authors: Klagge James C.
Published: July 2022

Wittgenstein opposes Socrates’ insistence that words should have an essentialist definition. Wittgenstein also stands with Euthyphro in his discussion with Socrates over whether God’s commands make an action good. While Socrates values the examined life, Wittgenstein wonders how we can stop the demand for more explanation. For this Wittgenstein may find more sympathy from Plato. Plato pays attention to the characters in his dialogues – the particulars of their circumstances, and he offers myths that supplement his arguments. In the ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry, we can see Wittgenstein wishing to side against Socrates but with Plato – who found ways of making philosophy poetic.
Sea wave characteristics in the port of Kholmsk (Sakhalin Island)
Authors:   Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics of the Far Eastern Branch of RAS, Borisov A.S.
Published: July 2022

During construction and reconstruction of ports, they are guided by the calculated characteristics of wind waves, storm surges, low-frequency oscillations of water areas (seiches). However, the correct determination of charac­teristics is impossible without taking into account field observations of sea waves in a particular port under different conditions. This work supplements the existing data on wave characteristics in the main port of Sakhalin Island on the basis of sea level measurements carried out in 2007. The main characteristics of sea waves in the port area were estimated: amplitudes of sea surface oscillations, peak components of the wave energy spectrum and the corresponding periods of oscillations. In this case, the peak components were determined in the range of periods from wind waves to low-frequency seiche oscillations. Storm situations and calm sea conditions were analyzed. The resonant nature of oscillations is shown. It has been established that in calm weather the peak components in the energy spectrum are concentrated in the region of the zero mode of natural oscillations in the port corresponding to 500 s. In the most active phase of storms, the peak component manifests itself mainly near the period of 8 s, and at the beginning and end of the storm it is near the period of 182 s, corresponding to the first mode of natural oscillations. The analysis of peak spectral components in a wide range of periods allows us tracing the dynamics of sea waves in the port and the process of build-up of seiche oscillations.

Authors: Taverner Cristina , Ballerini Fabio , Vacca Margherita , Simion Octavian
Published: July 2022

The aim of this article was to describe the definition process of a joint master’s degree program as a
proposal for the training of professional smart designers on the skills needed to contribute to the current
green and digital transition of the European industry context. Arising from the framework of the
INTRIDE European project, this article has been structured starting from an introductory analysis of the
demanded skills of designers and the needs of European Union (EU) companies in the current contemporary
scenario. As such, the reflection extends to the research methodology established for the development
of a state of the art on soft, digital, and green skills as a scientific basis for the definition of a
cross and interdisciplinary training course entitled Strategic design for innovation in the manufacturing
sector. Thus, focusing on the Bologna Declaration (June 19, 1999) in which the need to build a "European
Higher Education Area" has been declared. Based on the achieved research results, the authors
propose the INTRIDE Joint Master’s Degree Program (JMDP) as a cross and interdisciplinary training
course for smart designers that will become the future innovation triggers for small- and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) in the EU manufacturing sector. This, together with added competencies related to
soft, digital, and green skills – as general ones – and design and technological – as specific ones. At the
end of this scientific contribution, a discussion has been reported regarding a general reflection on the
developed design process and the lessons learned in the application of the design methodology, combined
with the suggestions for a sustainable use and implementation of the proposed training program.
Spatial variability of nutrient sources determining phytoplankton Chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Bay of Bengal
Authors: Siswanto Eko , Sarker MD Latifur Rahman , Peter Benny N.
Published: July 2022

Primary production is a key marine ecosystem driver in the Bay of Bengal and is important for the societies and economies of the surrounding countries. Although the availability of inorganic nutrients is known to control primary production in this region, the specific nutrient sources that affect primary production in different parts of the bay have not been identified. In this study, we assess the importance of nutrients from different sources in determining chlorophyll-a concentration, an indicator of primary production, in the Bay of Bengal by conducting multiple linear regression of satellite-derived chlorophyll-a concentration, sea surface height anomaly, and sea surface temperature; modelled dust deposition; and in situ river discharge from 1997 to 2016. River-borne nutrients were important up to approximately 200 km from the coast. Deep-ocean nutrients influenced chlorophyll-a concentrations mainly in the south-western and western bay, whereas wind-borne nutrients were more important in the central and eastern bay. Any attempt to understand the impact of nutrients from a certain source should also consider the potential impacts of other nutrient sources. Although climate impacts on chlorophyll-a concentrations through river discharge were observed in our study, future studies should investigate climate-change impacts through atmospheric aerosols and mesoscale eddies.

The results of studies of the temperature dependence of the voltage UKL of current lacing in power RF and microwave bipolar transistors (PBT) in the temperature range from - 60 to 90 ° C on the upgraded unit UITEP-M for measuring the thermoelectric parameters of high-power transistors are presented. The principle of operation of the installation is based on measuring the amplitude of the variable component of the voltage at the emitter junction of the PBT when a constant emitter current is passed and the sum of linearly increasing and small alternating voltage is applied to the collector; current lacing in the transistor structure manifests itself in a sharp increase in the steepness of the dependence. On a sample of PBT type KT903A, it was experimentally established that with an increase in the temperature of the housing, the current lacing voltage decreases noticeably and at a certain temperature, the TCR reaches a minimum value of UKLmin, and then increases again with an increase in the temperature of the housing. It is shown that the greater the thermal resistance of the transistor junction-housing in the diode connection, the weaker the temperature dependence of the lacing voltage. The obtained results are qualitatively explained on the basis of a one-dimensional model.
Gendering Revealed Knowledge? Prophecy, Positionality, and Perspective across Sibylline and Enochic Discourses
Authors: Reed Annette Yoshiko
Published: July 2022

This article is an experimental exploration of how gender shapes the conceptualization of knowledge, both among ancient Jews and among modern scholars of ancient Judaism. It focuses on the Sibylline Oracles, putting recent specialist research on their earliest strata into conversation with theoretical discussions of positionality. Attention to the anachronism of modern scholarly assumptions about embodiment and knowledge opens the way for analyzing the different meanings made by the female positioning of the Sibyl in antiquity. This article argues that her gender functions differently even in the Hellenistic-era and the Roman-era strata of the Third Sibylline Oracle. To read its Hellenistic-era strata with an eye to the gendering of knowledge, moreover, adds much to our analysis of Jewish responses to Greek paideia, while also enriching our understanding of the transformation of biblical prophecy in other Hellenistic-era Jewish writings, like the Enochic Book of the Watchers.
Punk Prayers versus Neoliberalism
Authors: Krafft Erin Katherine
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the trajectories of Nadya Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina in the years since their performance in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. This study, however, does not simply focus on their activities as individuals, but seeks to contextualize their work over the last decade in terms of capitalism, neoliberalism, and collective struggle. Planting the history of Pussy Riot within the context of historic and contemporary tensions within intersectional feminisms in Russia, the “West”, and transnationally, this paper will map divergences and convergences that render transnational feminist collaboration both troubled and uniquely productive. Global neoliberalism has challenged nation-states to develop hybridized and dynamic tactics of control that function both locally and in terms of transnational relations, and feminist movement therefore faces the same challenge; this paper participates in that struggle.
Bogoroditsa, stan’ Feministkoi?
Authors: Vinnik Marina
Published: July 2022

In this article, I compare two female-only feminist groups from the Soviet Union and Russia: one of them, the Leningrad feminists, were active in the Soviet Union in the late 1970’s and the other, Pussy Riot, appeared in the 2010’s. By placing Pussy Riot in the (post-)Soviet context and comparing them with the Leningrad feminists, I arrive at a novel reading of both. The similarities between both their structures and messaging are striking: both groups initially split off from larger, male-dominated dissident collectives; both faced challenges as mothers; and both groups appealed to the Virgin Mary as their guardian. These similarities are often obscured in readings that compare Pussy Riot with the Russian male actionists or Western riot grrrl feminists. By forging a different genealogy and comparing these two constellations of women, this article highlights both activist potentials and feminist genealogies in the (post-) Soviet space that have remained largely invisible.
Filling in the Urban Space: The “Port-Petrovsk” Fishery and Elemental Urbanization in Makhachkala
Authors: Wielecki Kamil M.
Published: July 2022

The paper is a case study of “Port-Petrovsk”, a large fishing and fish processing company in Makhachkala (Dagestan, Russia) that was purposefully driven to bankruptcy in 2007, leading some 5,300 people to lose their workplaces as well as access to many social services. The factory was bankrupted as there existed a small group willing to get rich on its assets. A considerable portion of the company’s former premises has already been sold and new apartment buildings have been erected there. Former workers and shareholders have been trying to reclaim their property and save the remaining company premises from being sold to developers. The case is presented against the background of what has been called elemental urbanization: a dynamic, chaotic and informal way of development of urban space in Makhachkala, one of the fastest growing cities in Russia. The whole process of conflict and negotiations around the company assets shows how property rights in Dagestan challenge the Western-set dichotomy of the individual versus the collective. Moreover, it presents property rights as a bundle that consist of legal, economic, and moral dimensions.

Electromagnetic radiation of hybrid vehicles
Authors: Bazhinov Oleksiy , Kravtsov Mikhail
Published: July 2022

Problem. As a result of automobile traffic every year 20-30% of the territory of cities are subject to electromagnetic pollution in cities and settlements. This is due to the increase in power and number of electrical equipment of each individual car. The urgency of the problem of electromagnetic pollution is an important step in determining the impact of electromagnetic radiation on humans in the rapid development of hybrid cars. Goal. The aim of this work is to determine the effect of electromagnetic radiation on humans in the conditions of rapid development of hybrid cars. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: review anthropogenic electromagnetic fields; find the elements of the electromagnetic field in a hybrid car; consider the most common methods of protection against electromagnetic fields. Methodology. The article presents a general classification of electromagnetic radiation to humans arising in hybrid vehicles. It is extremely important to reveal the phenomena occurring in hybrid cars in the research work to find the truth and the processes of occurrence of electromagnetic radiation. This issue is given primary importance, because finding effective technical, environmental and other methods and means of protecting people in hybrid and other vehicles is extremely necessary and in demand at the present stage. Thus, based on the characteristics of the material and aspects of its analysis determined the structure of the text in which some of the facts are given using the information available in the attached literature. Results. The result of the work were the proposed methods of shielding high-frequency and low-frequency levels based on physical properties – the reflection and absorption of electromagnetic waves during the transition from one medium to another. Originality. Methods of studying the effect of electromagnetic radiation on a person in vehicles (automotive, hybrid, electric) and especially on the reaction of a biological cell, its vital activity, require in-depth research to determine criteria, acceptable standards and optimal methods of protection against EMF and EMI. Practical value. The practical significance of this study is focused on readers and researchers of vehicles (automotive, hybrid, electric) which are interested in the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation, protection of passengers and drivers from them. The impact of electromagnetic radiation from hybrid and other types of vehicles on humans is a necessary task not only for scientists but also for manufacturers of these modes of transport, who for unknown reasons are trying to "freeze" the proposals and technical solutions offered by the World Scientific Society.
The problem of integrated quality assurance and safety of vehicle operation
Authors: Taranenko Mykhailo , Mygal Galyna , Kobrina Natalia , Makovetskyi Andrii
Published: July 2022

Problem. The article analyzes the theoretical and methodological foundations of product quality management. The problem of the quality and safety of the operation of vehicles is considered from three angles. The first is directly the problem of the quality and reliability of vehicles as products. Therefore, a quantitative assessment of the quality of a wheeled vehicle is an urgent task and will be discussed in the article. The second aspect is the human-machine interaction in the "man - car - road - environment" system and directly the quality of the human performer driving the car. This aspect depends immediately on the ergonomic qualities of the car. The third aspect concerns the quality of the society and the issues that affect the quality of a quality vehicle designer. Goal. The main purpose of the research is to substantiate the methodological foundations of vehicle quality management as a product. The practical purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the quality, reliability and safety of wheeled vehicles. Methodology. The paper considers groups of product quality characteristics. The possibility of a comprehensive qualitative assessment of the quality of vehicles is determined. The relevance of such an assessment is due to the wide variety of vehicles, the improvement of their technical characteristics against the backdrop of a slower development of the characteristics of the environment in which they are used. Another important circumstance is slow development of methods for assessing the quality of vehicles, which makes it difficult to choose the best option in accordance with the goals of their operation. Originality. The paper shows an extensive range of vehicle properties. A technique for a comprehensive assessment of the quality of vehicles is proposed. An assumption is made about the representation of quality indicators in a multidimensional space, in which each dimension corresponds to a certain group of properties. Practical value. To improve the objectivity of a comprehensive assessment, a number of units of property characteristics are described that have a metric dimension and are based on the physical and material representation of actions. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop and refine the methodology for a comprehensive quantitative assessment of quality in the area under research.

Authors: Etra Agusniwan
Published: July 2022

The involvement of ex-convicts in political contests sparked a discourse on human rights and their protection by the Constitutional Court. This paper will answer constitutional dynamics of these rules through the decisions of the Constitutional Court. This research uses normative-legal method. The result shows that since the beginning, the regulation has been declared conditionally unconstitutional, but the requirements and implementation of it have developed in subsequent decisions. The Court has determined four constitutional requirements cumulatively in the form of not being revoked by a court decision; limited to a period of 5 (five) years; admits being a former convict openly and honestly; and not as a recidivist. The Court changed its stance that the requirement applies alternatively if there is an honest and open acknowledgment as an ex-convict, then other conditions are no longer needed. However, in its final decision, the Court restored the validity of the previous four cumulative conditions.

Disentangling the variety of collaborative practices beneath translational research: an ego-network perspective
Authors: Díaz-Faes Adrian A. , Llopis Oscar , D'Este Pablo
Published: July 2022

Translational research policies have increased the expectations about accelerating healthcare improvements and medical innovations. Although such policies aim to reshape how biomedical scientists organize, conceive, and conduct science, most of the analysis and evaluations of these initiatives focus on measuring the outputs generated at different stages of the research process rather than directly observing scientists’ research practices. In this paper, we seek to understand collaborative practices in the context of translational research by examining the network configurations established by biomedical scientists to advance their research. We adopt an ego-network perspective and draw on three network attributes - network diversity, tie strength and tie content - to understand how scientists mobilize tangible and intangible resources through their interpersonal connections and enable the translation of scientific knowledge into practical applications. Our analysis is based on a large-scale survey conducted in the context of a flagship initiative that aims to support translational research in Spain: the CIBER program. Our cluster analysis identifies diverse scientists’ profiles: downstream-oriented, upstream-oriented, and brokering scientists. We propose that using a network lens provides valuable insights on how policy interventions operate in practice.

Barren ground depressions, natural H2 and orogenic gold deposits: spatial link and geochemical model
Authors: Malvoisin Benjamin , Brunet Fabrice
Published: July 2022

A review of the localities in continental rocks where H2-rich gases have been reported, showed that they are mainly located near gold deposits. Two types of geomorphological features known as markers of gas venting in sedimentary basins were also systematically observed near orogenic gold deposits on satellite images. They consist in both barren ground depressions and high densities of small (< 20 m in diameter) circular- and comet-shaped white spots in 32 and 7 localities, respectively. Point pattern analysis revealed that the white spots are self-organized, and similar to previously described vegetation patterns including termite mounds and fairy circles. We proposed a geochemical model to account for this relationship between orogenic gold deposits, H2 emanations and geomorphological features. Fe-carbonates are ubiquitous mineral products associated with gold mineralization. They can further dissolve in the presence of aqueous fluid due to their high reactivity below 200°C to produce magnetite and up to ~ 1 mole of H2 per kg of rock along with ~ 3 mol/kg CO2. This process induces a solid volume decrease of 50 %. Therefore, we propose that Fe-carbonate dissolution is (1) the primary source of H2 in orogenic gold deposit areas, and (2) involved in the formation of the geomorphological structures reported here, providing a new framework to understand their seemingly complex formation. Ground depressions and white spots are possible tools for gold explorations. Actually, we identified four new areas where we suspect possible orogenic gold deposits. The association between H2-rich gas and ground depressions was also made near other formations containing Fe-carbonates such as iron formations and carbonatites. This suggests that H2 production through Fe-carbonate dissolution is not restricted to gold deposits. The global H2 production in crustal rocks associated with Fe-carbonate alteration is estimated to 3.10^5 mol/yr.

This study explores determinants of entrepreneurship aspirations among members of women’s self-help groups. Data were collected using semi-structured interview schedule from 180 members of self-help groups in three districts of Bihar. Considering personality traits entrepreneurial aspirations of women members were measured under seven dimensions using likert scale. Using ANCOVA, results reflect that age of self-help group, family size, frequency of loan and loan amount positively influence the entrepreneurial aspiration of members. In addition to this, members belong to scheduled caste, members with productive assets, primary education, and working experience in the service industry have higher entrepreneurial aspiration. Finding suggests for more impetus of members access of productive assets, skill-based capacity building to members and leaders, and intact membership with self-help group for long will enable and strengthen women workforce as potential entrepreneurs

The COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacting the entire world economy unprecedentedly, andIndia is no exception.The informal sector was hit hard by the lockdown and saw an unprecedentedfall in its economic activities. The pandemic turned out to be more disastrous for the migrants.As reported in various newspapers, most of migrants and their families were left unattended bytheir employers.According to a survey conducted during the lockdown in April 2020 by the StrandedWorkers Action Network, 90 per cent of migrant workers in the country did not get paid by theiremployers, 96 per cent received no ration from the government, and 70 per cent did not get anycooked food, during the lockdown.These migrants worker were primarily from eastern UP and Bihar.Even rural health infrastructure was not adequate to fight the pandemic in Bihar. With COVIDcame array of misinformation which to some extent changed social norms in society. In this studywe use personal interviews done in Ahwar Kudia village panchayat to study how rural institutionsresponded to pandemic

Introduction- The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak impacts the mental health of patients, health workers, and the public. The level of impact on the mental health of periodontal patients in treatment is unknown. AimThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the psychological stress of periodontal patients who were undergoing treatment during this COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Method- An online survey was conducted on a convenience sample of anonymous participants who were getting treatment done in various dental clinics. The questionnaire comprised of 4 sections. Sections 1-3 included demographic, perception of pandemic and periodontal status of the patients. Section 4 assessed mental health status of periodontal patient. Statistically analysis was done by using descriptive analysis. Result- Questionnaires were collected from 1042 patients (398 males, 644 females). The prevalence of mental distress was 95.48% (995/1042). Higher frequency distributions were associated with female participants. The major cause of anxiety was found to be associated with prolonged treatment duration. Conclusion- Almost all the periodontal patients experienced mental stress during the pandemic. Multiple factors affected the level of anxiety of periodontal patients, such as the delayed treatment, time since last dental visit, manner of communication with the periodontist, and stress of the pandemic progression.
