Trends in the Constitutional and Legal Regulation of the Voters’ Will Results Protection in the Russian Federation
Authors: Rybin Aleksey V.
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the article is to explore the main trends in regulating the voters' will results protection in the Russian Federation. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are performed: Formulating the basic concepts in the field of legal voters will results protection; studying the various voting procedures and summarising them; studying the dynamics of constitutional and legislative regulation on the research subject; exploring jurisprudence and doctrinal sources; identify key regulatory trends; and giving them a scientific assessment and proposing measures to improve legislation.
Definitions of the study concepts are given including: the voters will and form of voting in elections. It is proposed that voting procedures be classified into basic and derivative forms. According to the criterion of voting observation, the classification should be into: 1) observed; 2) unobservable forms.
As a result of a comparative analysis of Russian and foreign constitutions, it was found that the absence of special rules on elections and voting in the constitution is one of the reasons for the instability of electoral legislation.
The study made it possible to identify some trends in the subject of study. First, there is a deficit of constitutional regulations around voting issues and a shift in their focus to the level of federal laws. Secondly, there has been a significant increase in the number of derivative voting forms, which is not offset by a commensurate increase in the ability to observe them. Thirdly, a reduction in the number of observation subjects, a decrease in the quality of observation "channels" has been noted, which worsened legal guarantees for the protection of voting results. Fourth, there is a significant increase in the volume of by-law regulations issued by voting organisations. Finally, the analysis of judicial practice showed an undifferentiated approach of the courts when considering disputes related to different voting forms.
Abuse of Powers by the Tax Authorities while Implementing Some Control Measures
Authors: Mardasova Мaria  Е.
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the issues of abuse of powers by tax authorities in the course of implementing certain control measures. Examples of such issues include calling taxpayers to make statements and requesting from them the documents necessary for a tax audit. The author notes that many tax disputes that arise in the practice of law enforcement regarding certain issues in the implementation of these control measures are caused either by the complete absence of legislation or imperfection of legislative regulation for the relevant procedures. Finally, it is concluded that there is a need to improve legislative frameworks for the most important regulatory issues.

Philanthropy Profile: A Conversation with Elizabeth Star-Winer of the Winer Family Foundation
Authors: Ugolik Phillips Kaitlin
Published: January 2023

As a Lactation Consultant and child birth educator with Novant Health in Charlotte, Elizabeth Star-Winer worked with hundreds of families, both in a hospital setting and in the community. Those experiences instilled in her a desire to focus her philanthropy on addressing the root causes of the challenges and disparities she observed, particularly the high rates of maternal and infant mortality across the state.1

“Because of my hands-on career experiences, I wanted our foundation to focus on improving outcomes in two areas: maternal and infant health and creating awareness of the long-term effects of trauma and toxic stress on families,” Star-Winer told the NCMJ. “We are intentional on focusing our work upstream with the understanding that systems change takes time and investment in cross-sector partnerships and strong leadership.”

NCMJ Managing Editor Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips spoke with Star-Winer about how she transitioned from working directly with families to running her family’s foundation with a mission of building capacity and aligning systems to ensure all families with children, from prenatal to age five, thrive across our state.
Cost-effectiveness of Strategies for Postpartum Glucose Intolerance Testing
Authors: Acosta Tatiana , Myers Evan , McElligott Kara
Published: January 2023

Background

Abnormal glucose metabolism after gestational diabetes mellitus can persist postpartum. This study compares the cost and effectiveness of 4 postpartum glucose intolerance screening strategies and their influencing variables.

Methods

A decision model compared 4 screening strategies: Fasting capillary glucose test (FCG) 24–72 hours postpartum (inpatient FCG) alone (strategy 1); Inpatient FCG plus 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (strategy 2) or plus home FCG testing (strategy 3) at 4–12 weeks postpartum; No screening (strategy 4). Clinical probabilities and costs were obtained from institutional data, the literature, retail prices, and reimbursement data. The primary outcome was the per-patient cost and effectiveness of detecting diabetes and prediabetes (i.e., disease) and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) between strategies. Effectiveness was the proportion of patients with disease detected. Sensitivity analyses examined parameter uncertainty and variance on primary outcome.

Results

The base case cost and effectiveness per strategy ranged from $1167 to $1330 and 0%–25%, respectively. Strategy 3 was the most effective and expensive strategy compared to strategy 2 (ICER $837), and remained so when < 36% of patients completed the 2-hour OGTT and when the sensitivity of home FCG testing for detecting diabetes was > 39%. Strategy 2 was more effective and expensive than strategy 1 (ICER $571).

Limitations

Our model underestimates the cost of a missed case by limiting the horizon to 1 year because of the available data. This is appropriate for our study perspective, but future study is needed to estimate the effect of a longer time horizon on model outcomes.

Conclusion

Home FCG testing offers a reasonable alternative to the 2-hour OGTT when adherence to the 2-hour OGTT is low. This model serves as a tool to guide postpartum glucose intolerance screening protocols, minimizing missed opportunities for diagnosis and early intervention.

Design and analysis of an alkaline fuel cell
Authors: AZZAM Mohammed , QAQ Zabayyan , ORHAN Mehmet
Published: January 2023

This study provides a step-by-step, up-to-date fuel cell fundamentals, thermodynamic and electrochemical principles, and system evaluation factors via a case study of a 10-kW alkaline fuel cell designed to operate in space applications. The system also produces 100 kg of pure water and 5.5 kW of heat. The system is modelled using MATLAB and ANSYS Fluent. Then, the model is verified with theoretical and experimental results from the literature. A parametric study of various design and operating parameters, and material selection is carried out to optimize the overall performance. A net output voltage of 0.8 V is obtained at 150 mAcm-2 current density, which yields an overall efficiency of 75%. The results indicate that increasing the electrolyte thickness or operating temperature results in a lower net voltage output. Additionally, improving the performance of a fuel cell through the bipolar plate can be achieved by understanding the contribution of different parameters towards minimizing the pressure drop across the bipolar plate. It is found that implementing an optimized selection of fluid flow rate, channel width, channel depth, number of channels and current density minimize the pressure drop throughout the bipolar plate. Relative humidity has a significant effect on the pressure drop. Results indicate that increasing the relative humidity consequentially rises the pressure drop. Finally, the CFD simulation illustrates that the end-zones in the bipolar plate accumulates fluid due to the nature of stagnation at those locations. Thus, total pressure at those locations is the highest. One of the major contributions here is studying the effect of KOH concentration on the performance of the AFC at different operating temperatures. In addition, a wide range of design and operating parameters were analysed to understand their effect on the overall performance of the fuel cell.

L’uso delle strategie di trasparenza nella comunicazione dei docenti plurilingui
Authors: Monami Elena
Published: January 2023

The use of transparency strategies in the communication of plurilingual teachers
The aim of this article is to present and discuss the nature and role of transparency strategies in the communication of plurilingual teachers in classes of Italian as a foreign language. Our research questions intend to deepen two key concepts strictly connected to teacher talk:

What are the most used transparency strategies by plurilingual teachers of Italian as a foreign language?
What is the frequency of use of such transparency strategies in relation to CEFR competence levels?

Our quantitative and qualitative analysis is data-driven and is based on the CLODIS corpus (oral language of teachers of Italian for foreigners), which collects interactions in over 150 L2 Italian classes and represents a link between theoretical study and its teaching applications.
Parole e gesti dell’insegnante nell’ora di italiano a stranieri (e non solo)
Authors: Nobili Claudio
Published: January 2023

Teacher’s words and gestures in didactics of Italian to foreigners
(and not only)
The notion of contextual continuum
This paper starts from an extended concept of “plurilingualism” based on plurimodality in communication (i.e. the use of verbal and nonverbal codes in oral discourses). Assuming that plurilingualism and plurimodality are humans’ natural abilities to adapt verbal and nonverbal resources to the interaction, we propose a methodological approach to the study of teacher’s language and hand gestures in the Italian as a foreign language or L2 classroom (even if our conclusion is valid for the general classroom context). Before discussing the approach, in the first part of the paper we present a brief review of the literature on language and gestures for didactic activities in the contexts of Italian as L1/L2 (or as a foreign language). In the second part the approach called “contextual continuum” is introduced and exemplified. Our aim is to demonstrate that Italian (and not Italian) teacher’s language and gestures in the classroom context are relevant if compared with contexts which are progressively not the classroom. More specifically, in a laboratory context gestures appear significantly simplified and reduced.
L’uso delle costruzioni marcate nel teacher talk dell’insegnante di italiano L2 del Belgio francofono
Authors: Greco Alessandro
Published: January 2023

The use of marked structures in the teacher talk of the Italian as L2 teacher in Francophone Belgium
The aim of this article is to present and discuss the first results of a research study on the teacher talk (TT) for Italian as foreign language (IL2) teachers in Belgium. In particular, data from the pilot corpus of the study, conducted in the French-speaking area of the country, are analysed. The TT is examined from a morphosyntactic point of view, in order to track the presence or absence of some spoken features typical of neo-standard Italian: the marked constructions, i.e. structures that present modifications of the canonical order of the subject-verb-object (SVO) elements, to respond to pragmatic communication goals. TT features could be an indicator of the structure and specificity of the teachers' spoken Italian, and at the same time provide information on their linguistic and cultural identity. IL2 teachers in Francophone Belgium are in fact mostly of Italian origin. This suggests that their TT is probably influenced by their socio-biographic profile as well as their linguistic repertoire.
Fenomeni di transfer nell’italiano L3 di nederlandofoni

Transfer phenomena in Italian L3 by Dutch-speaking learners Consequences for didactics
The present study investigates some aspects of the learning process of Italian as an L3 by two groups of multilingual learners. In particular, through the examination of the learners’ cross-linguistic transfer occurrences we reflect on the didactic consequences of working with learners mastering several L2s. The results suggest that the learning process can be influenced by and adapted to the learners’ linguistic repertoire. Specifically, teachers can play an essential role facilitating the learning process of an L3: through actively promoting the development of metalinguistic awareness and metacognitive skills in their students, knowledge already acquired in other languages can be used to assist the learning of an L3.
Timescapes in Childhood Memories of Everyday Life During the Cold War

Published: January 2023

During the Cold War, linear and future-oriented temporalities were enforced to accelerate social transformation on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Despite efforts to control time by bracketing complex human conditions, children were routinely engaged in everyday activities that followed different rhythms. Building on Barbara Adam’s notion of timescapes and drawing on collective biography research, this article examines different temporal experiences through childhood memories of harvesting in a forest, a family garden, and a collective farm. These memories reveal emotionally intense—embodied and embedded—temporal experiences of children entangled within timescapes of multiple and sometimes contradictory dimensions of human and more-than-human times.

PENGARUH IDE PEMBAHARUAN ABDUH DI MESIR PADA TRADISI TAFSIR DI INDONESIA: KAJIAN TERHADAP TAFSIR QUR’AN KARIM KARYA MAHMUD YUNUS
Authors: Anwar Rosihon , Muhyi Asep Abdul , Riyani Irma
Published: January 2023

Qur’anic Interpretation in Indonesia has been long interconnected with the tradition in the Middle East, especially in Haramayn and Egypt. Many Indonesians studied many Islamic disciplines from prominent ulama in these regions. One of them is Mahmud Yunus, who studied at Al-Azhar University, Cairo. He was influenced by the prominent ulama of Al- Azhar, i.e., M. Abduh. Abduh is famous for his thought of Islamic revivalism. This research investigates the possible influence of Abduh’s reformation thought to Mahmud Yunus Qur’anic interpretation, which called tafsir Qur’an Karim. This research employs a qualitative method with a historical approach and content analysis to analyze the data. This research shows that Mahmud Yunus is influenced significantly by Abduh’s reformation thought and can be seen from Yunus’ interpretation in his tafsir. The influence includes combating blind taqlid (unquestioning acceptance of religious thoughts), rationalizing the ‘mythical’ understanding of the Qur’anic texts, and emphasizing the belief that the Qur’an is compatible with science and the changing social reality. Kajian tafsir di Indonesia memiliki keterkaitan yang erat dengan pemikiran tafsir di Timur Tengah. Hal ini dapat dipahami karena banyak ulama Indonesia belajar di sana terutama Haramayn dan Mesir. Salah satu ulama yang memiliki keterpengaruhan tersebut adalah Mahmud Yunus yang sempat belajar di Al-Azhar, Kairo, Mesir. Secara spesifik, Yunus banyak mengadopsi pemikiran pembaharuan dari tokohpembaharu Mesir yakni M. Abduh. Penelitian ini bermaksud menelusuri keterpengaruhan pemikiran pembaharuan Mahmud Yunus dalam karya Tafsirnya Qur’an Karim dari pemikiran pembaharuan M. Abduh. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggali kajian pustakaatas naskah tafsir Mahmud Yunus dan Al-Manar dengan menggunakan analisi isi dan historis. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh pembaharuan Abduh terlihat dalam penafsiran yang dilakukan oleh Mahmud Yunus dalam Tafsirnya berkaitan dengan beberapa aspek diantaranya adalah: penolakan atas taqlid, bid’ah dan khurafat, rasionalitas atas beberapa pemahaman yang bersifat mitis dan kesesuaian antara al-Qur’an dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan perkembangan masyarakat.
MEMBINCANG PROSES ISLAMISASI KAWASAN KALIMANTAN DARI BERBAGAI TEORI
Authors: Rahmadi Rahmadi
Published: January 2023

This study discusses four issues related to the Islamization in Kalimantan, namely the origin of the arrival of Islam, the period of the arrival of Islam, the spreader of Islam, and the channels of Islamization. These four problems are studied using a historical approach by analyzing relevant information from various sources. This study concluded that the Islamization in Kalimantan led to an Arab theory, namely that Islam came to this area directly brought by Arabs themselves from the Middle East, both by traders and professional preachers (ulama or Sufi). Furthermore, the Islamization period of the Kalimantan region is divided into four phases, namely the arrival phase in the 7th to 10th centuries; the phase of formation of the Muslim community in the 11th to 15th centuries; the great wave phase of coastal Islamization and the formation of Islamic empires in the 16th to early 17th centuries; and the phase of Islamization from the coast to the interior that occurred in the 17th to 19th centuries. The carriers of Islam at the arrival stage (7th to 12th centuries) were traders, and at the development stage (13th to 17th centuries) were brought by professional preachers (wandering Sufi scholars). Finally, Islamization in Kalimantan was carried out using the channels of da'wah, politics, trade, marriage, and education.Kajian ini membahas empat masalah terkait islamisasi kawasan Kalimantan, yaitu asal kedatangan Islam, masa kedatangan Islam, pembawa Islam dan saluran Islamisasi. Keempat masalah ini dikaji menggunakan pendekatan sejarah dengan melakukan analisis terhadap informasi yang relevant  dalam berbagai sumber sejarah. Kajian ini menghasilkan simpulan bahwa Islamisasi di kawasan Kalimantan mengarah ke teori Arab, yakni Islam datang ke kawasan ini dibawa langsung oleh orang Arab sendiri dari Timur Tengah baik oleh pedagang maupun pendakwah profesional (ulama atau sufi). Selanjutnya, periodesasi islamisasi kawasan Kalimantan terjadi dalam empat fase, yaitu fase kedatangan pada abad ke-7 hingga abad ke-10, fase pembentukan komunitas muslim pada abad ke-11 hingga 15, fase gelombang besar islamisasi pesisir dan pembentukan kerajaan Islam pada abad ke-16 hingga awal abad ke-17, dan fase islamisasi dari pesisir ke pedalaman yang tejadi pada abad ke-17 hingga abad ke-19. Adapun pembawa Islam pada tahap kedatangan (abad ke-7 hingga 12) adalah para pedagang dan pada tahap perkembangan (abad ke-13 hingga 17) dibawa oleh para pendakwah profesional (ulama sufi pengembara). Terakhir, islamisasi di Kalimantan dilakukan melalui saluran dakwah, politik, perdagangan, perkawinan, dan pendidikan.
THE TRADITION OF YASINAN IN INDONESIA
Authors: Sagir Akhmad , Hasan Muhammad
Published: January 2023

Surah Yasin is a surah often recited in various religious activities in Indonesian society. Yasin a considered a surah that has many benefits. The tradition of reciting Yasin is a routine practice done by Muslims, especially in Indonesia. However, the recitation of Yasin in Indonesia is encountered in various forms in religious rituals. Therefore, the writing was based on people gathering to recite Yasin. It can be seen that the reciting Yasin is not only in the culture but the Islamic values that are instilled. This study aims to conduct a literature review study on the living Qur’an use of Yasin in Indonesia. The ATLAS.ti application version 9.0.20.0 was used to assist in analysing existing data. This research method used was reviewing the living Qur’an literature, including 1) the first stage: planning review, 2) the second stage: the implementation of the review, and 3) the last stage: presentation of results. The researcher found 78 articles from the google scholar index source, and 28 papers were read and analysed in this study. The findings showed Yasin’s function for public belief and forms of traditions cultivated in Indonesia’s living Qur’an. These findings resulted in the reciting of Yasin as a practice cultured by the community. Also, the culture of reciting Yasin becomes a sacred ritual and full of meaning in every activity. It is suggested that future research provides a specific knowledge contribution to reciting Yasin in Indonesia.

Authors: Santis Joseph P. De , Provencio-Vasquez Elias , Radusky Pablo D. , Cianelli Rosina , Rodriguez Natalia Villegas , Peragallo-Montano Nena
Published: January 2023

Background and Purpose:HIV infection is a health disparity among transgender women. Despite availability of HIV-prevention interventions and services, many transgender women do not access these interventions and services. The purpose of this study was to identify the process by which barriers may prevent transgender women from receiving HIV-prevention interventions and services and to have participants propose ideas on how to overcome these barriers.Methods:Utilizing a grounded theory approach, 25 in-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted with transgender women aged 20–69 years. After providing written informed consent, participants completed an in-depth individual interview. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Categories and subcategories were identified from the data using open, axial, and selective coding.Results:A theory grounded in the data named Living in Stealth emerged that described this central phenomenon that underpinned the other main categories of Encountering Social Barriers and Encountering Structural Barriers. Generating Ideas for Restructuring HIV-Prevention for Transgender Women was the final category in which participants provided ideas to overcome HIV-prevention barriers.Implications:Clinicians and researchers providing HIV-prevention services and interventions for transgender women need awareness of the complex nature of HIV prevention for this subpopulation of women. More research is needed to incorporate findings from this study into HIV-prevention interventions for transgender women.
The Role of Collocations and Sociolinguistic Factors in Reading Comprehension Skills of L2 Turkish Primary School Students
Authors: BÖLÜKBAŞI Safiye , TİRYAKİOL Selim
Published: January 2023

This study examines the relative role of collocations (and its sub-types) and the effect of sociolinguistic factors on the reading comprehension skills of 4th-grade primary school students learning Turkish as a second language (L2). For this purpose, this study recruits L1 and L2 students from Başakşehir, Beylikdüzü, Fatih, and Esenler districts of Istanbul. The researchers collected data using the Language and Social Background Questionnaire (LSBQ) and a Reading Comprehension Test. The data were analyzed using statistical analyses such as the Independent Samples T-Test and the Independent Samples One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) in the SPSS 22.0 package program. The study concludes that L1 students are more successful than L2 students in reading comprehension test with collocations. In terms of sub-types of collocations, L2 students are more successful in “restricted collocations” compared to other types. While L2 students' reading comprehension skills and success across collocation types are affected by sex, the language used while watching TV/video, and having technological devices such as tablet and computer; comprehension scores are not affected by the number of siblings, socioeconomic level, the language spoken by father within the home, and reading regularly. This study will significantly contribute to researchers, teachers, and policy-makers who are working with immigrant L2 students.
Réduction de l’utilisation des antibiotiques en filières animales : Quelles mesures, quels résultats, quelles perspectives ?
Authors: URBAN Delphine , CHEVANCE Anne , BOUCHARD Damien , CHAUVIN Claire , ORAND Jean-Pierre , MOULIN Gérard
Published: January 2023

Promouvoir un usage responsable et prudent des antibiotiques est un axe clé des plans d’action internationaux, européens et nationaux pour lutter contre l’antibiorésistance. De nombreuses recommandations et mesures visent à diminuer l’utilisation des antibiotiques en réservant leur usage dans les cas où il est strictement nécessaire. Dans une approche « Une seule santé », l’Agence européenne des médicaments a établi une catégorisation des antibiotiques à usage vétérinaire en prenant en compte à la fois le risque pour la santé humaine et les besoins en santé animale. Il est en effet particulièrement important de préserver les antibiotiques considérés comme critiques pour le traitement des maladies bactériennes chez l’Homme.
Depuis 2011, des objectifs nationaux ont été définis afin de réduire l’utilisation des antibiotiques en médecine vétérinaire en France. Des initiatives prises par les filières et les plans Ecoantibio ont créé une dynamique qui a permis d’atteindre ces objectifs. La France fait d’ailleurs partie des pays européens qui ont le plus diminué ces dernières années l’usage des céphalosporines de 3e et 4e générations et des fluoroquinolones. La nouvelle règlementation européenne prévoit un ensemble de mesures qui vise à mieux encadrer et réduire l’usage de certains antibiotiques dans les élevages.
Mesurer et suivre les usages contribue à favoriser une utilisation prudente des antibiotiques et à évaluer l’efficacité des actions menées à cet égard. Cet article présente différents systèmes de suivi de l’usage des antibiotiques qui ont été développés par différents acteurs dans la lutte contre l’antibiorésistance.

Authors: Lopatina N. V.
Published: January 2023

TThe article raises the issues of scientific support for the development of librarianship in the conditions of digitalization. It presents the analysis of the scientific agenda of library and information sciences, laid down in the “Strategy for the development of librarianship in the Russian Federation until 2030”. The possibilities of solving problems relevant to the industry within the framework of the new nomenclature and passport of the scientific specialty “Library Science, Bibliography and Book Studies” are critically evaluated. It is proposed to consider the nomenclature of scientific specialties as a system integrity, within which the search for areas of interdisciplinary interaction and migration to other scientific specialties is carried out at the level of the subject of research. The scientific specialties that have theoretical and organizational potential for research and development of issues of digital development of librarianship have been identified. The ways of harmonization of library and information sciences with the new positions of the specialty 5.10.4 and a new field of science – cultural studies have been defined, the task of determining the direction of scientific research has been set. The possibilities of studying library and information issues in line with the research of the actual problems of digitalization of culture as one of the branches in which library construction is actively conducted have been analyzed, their connection with the priorities of scientific and technological development has been determined. The definition of digitalization of culture is given as a set of new IT solutions, new design of the cultural information space, new relationships in the professional and social environment, new economic models, new cultural codes. Among the promising areas of research that are important for the development of librarianship in the modern conditions there have been defined: digitalization of cultural heritage preservation (scientific tasks that make up the “technical” and “humanitarian” streams are highlighted); digital resources of culture and art and electronic libraries (a single digital space of culture as a theoretical concept and strategic guideline); digitalization of creative industries and digitalization of everyday cultural practices; digital reading infrastructure; human problems in digital culture; digital formats of “documenting culture”; digitalization of culture in the context of intellectual property; digital humanities.

Ya. M. Lisovoy’s collection destiny: historical and library aspects
Authors: Makhotina N. V.
Published: January 2023

The study of the unique bibliophile heritage of writers, historians, philosophers, scientists and artists who happened to be far from Russia is important from the point of view of understanding how the best representatives of Russian emigration sought to preserve the collections that they managed to bring out of Russia and multiply over the years of living abroad. Fortunately, many collections were returned to their homeland, but many rare priceless materials remained abroad forever. The problem of book collections existence, which for one reason or another and at different times fell into the category of “prohibited”, acquired special significance at the end of 1980s – the beginning of 1990s, after the abolition of all censorship restrictions in the country, and, as a result, the opening of library special collections and archives. The purpose of the article is – on the basis of a brief source review of emigrants’ collections which entered the leading libraries of Russia from abroad, and the collection gathered by the White Guard emigrant officer and politician, historian, publicist, bibliographer Ya. M. Lisovoy – to illustrate the need to move from the analytical stage of research activity in this subject field to the synthetic one aimed at accumulating research intentions on a general cultural scale. The fate of the collection in the period from 1915 to 1992 is traced, its structure is presented, and the analysis of Ya. M. Lisovoy publishing activity is undertaken.
Solving the Mystery of Time and Unifying Relativity with Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Niemz Markolf H. , Stein Siegfried W.
Published: January 2023

Today's concept of time traces back to Albert Einstein's theories of special (SR) and general relativity (GR). In SR, uniformly moving clocks are slow with respect to my clocks. In GR, clocks in a more curved spacetime are slow with respect to my clocks. Many physicists anticipate that GR has an issue as it is not compatible with quantum mechanics. Here we show: Einstein's concept of time has an issue because the proper time of some observer is taken as the fourth coordinate of all objects in the universe. We choose "Euclidean time" (proper time of an object), which is the absolute value of a 4D vector "flow of time" divided by the speed of light. This vector is pointing from the Big Bang in Euclidean spacetime (ES) to the object. In Euclidean relativity (ER), each clock has a unique flow of time related to its position in ES and is thus slow with respect to an observer's clock. It is not slow in its, but in his proper flow of time. Unlike other ER models, we claim that an observer's reality is formed by projecting ES to his proper 3D space and to his proper flow of time. GR misinterprets this projection as a curved spacetime. We derive the same Lorentz factor as in SR and the same gravitational time dilation as in GR. Predictions made by SR are correct because the Lorentz transformation is equivalent to one 4D rotation of an object's flow of time. A cosmology that is based on GR needs additional concepts, such as dark energy, to compensate for the ignored 4D vectors "flow of time". ER is superior to SR and GR as it solves 13 fundamental mysteries, such as time, time's arrow, mc2, two competing Hubble constants, the wave–particle duality, and quantum entanglement.

The World Health Organization has estimated an annual occurrence of approximately 392 million Dengue virus (DENV) infections in more than 100 countries where the virus is endemic, and this represents a serious threat to humanity. DENV is a serologic group with four distinct serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4) belonging to the genus Flavivirus, in the family Flaviviridae. Dengue is the most widespread mosquito-borne disease in the world. The ~10.7 kb DENV genome encodes three structural proteins (capsid [C], pre-membrane [prM], and envelope [E]) and seven non-structural (NS) proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5). The NS1 protein is a membrane-associated dimer and a secreted, lipid-associated hexamer. Dimeric NS1 is found on membranes both in cellular compartments and cell surfaces. Secreted NS1 (sNS1) is often present in patient serum at very high levels, which correlates with severe dengue symptoms. This study was conducted to discover how NS1 protein, microRNAs-15/16 (miRNAs-15/16), and apoptosis are related during DENV-4 infection in human liver cell lines. Huh 7.5 and HepG2 cells were infected with DENV-4, and miRNAs-15/16, viral load, NS1 protein, and caspases-3/7 were quantified after different times of infection. This study demonstrated that miRNAs-15/16 are overexpressed during infection of HepG2 and Huh 7.5 cells by DENV-4 and have a relationship with NS1 protein expression, viral load, and activity of caspases-3/7, thus making these miRNAs potential injury markers during DENV infection in human hepatocytes.

This work presents the results of an experimental socio-economic study conducted in two shanty towns of Messina as part of a systemic urban regeneration and fight against poverty program called Capacity. The study has shown that the development of a positive attitude towards the future and the confidence in others are associated with the development of the riskiest option, which is the one that can give the highest pay-off. The paper also illustrates the expected and unexpected outcomes of projects for individuals and the community, as well as the economic benefits for the public administration and the society of a strategy that reduces the reliance on social welfare measures as well as the local control exercised by organized crime.

Whether the different NR-AMPs could ever be utilized as drugs not only against prokaryotic (bacteria) pathogens but eukaryotic (fungal pathogens, and parasitic protists) depends on the side effects. To get experimental experience about the option of applying EPB-produced antimicrobials to pathogens, and parasites of veterinary significance, we present here the results of an in vitro, and an accompanying in vivo study on chicken. In the in vitro study, we tested the cytotoxic potential of the cell-free conditioned culture media (CFCM) of three entomopathogenic bacterium species, - X. budapestensis, DSM16342 (EMA); X. szentirmaii DSM16338 (EMC); Photorhabdus luminescens ssp. akhurstii TT01 - on chicken tissue culture cells, namely, on the Leghorn Male Hepatoma (LMH), [92] cells, (a permanent confluent hepato-carcinoma cell line). Each CFCM proved rather cytotoxic in this test. In the in vivo study, we fed freshly hatched male broiler chickens for 42 days with XENOFOOD [39] which contained autoclaved cultures of EMA, and EMC). These bacteria were grown on standard chicken (starter and grower) [HM3] [u4] feed, and the whole culture was used as a “food supplement”. [HM5]. It had been known that these EPB species cannot grow that is, not viable) atbody temperature (above 33 C).
No Evidence of Internal Path Integration in Sand Scorpion Homing Behavior in Artificial Arenas
Authors: Merchant Alexis B , Gaffin Douglas D
Published: January 2023

Many sand scorpions are faithful to burrows they dig, however, it is unknown how these animals get back home after hunting excursions. Of the many mechanisms of homing that exist, path integration (PI) is one of the more common tools used by arachnids. In PI, an animal integrates its distance and direction while leaving its home, enabling it to compute an approximate home-bound vector for the return trip. The objective of our study was to test whether scorpions use PI to return home under absolute darkness in the lab. We first allowed animals to establish burrows in homing arenas. Then, after they left their burrow, we recorded the scorpion’s location in the homing arena before we transferred it to the center of a testing arena. We used overhead IR cameras to record its movements in the testing arena. If scorpions exhibited PI, we predicted they would follow a vector in the test arena that approximated the same angle and distance from the capture point to their burrow in their home arena. However, under the conditions of this experiment, we found no evidence that scorpions moved along such home-bound vectors. We speculate that scorpions may need a reliable reference cue to accommodate path integration.
