Published: October 2023

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is a neuro-invasive virus causing lifelong latent infection in humans. It increases the risk of dementia by entering inside the brain. Herpesviruses have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development. More than 50 million people worldwide are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is becoming more prevalent with the increase age-related neurodegenerative diseases, dementia, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need for better understanding of the pathogenesis of AD as well as its early detection. HSV-1 is a risk factor of for the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases, sporadic Alzheimer’s disease, prior diagnosis of disease cycle of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 in brain tissue will help us to prevent AD in elderly patients. Serological assays were the first choice of detection including whole-antigen-based (non-gG-specific) methods and western blotting (WB) assays, but quantitative PCR (qPCR) & genomic sequencing has shown better efficiency. Recently RNAscope, a novel in situ RNA hybridization assay is developed to visualize and detect the multiple phases of HSV-1. In this review, we discussed about early detection of tau and β-amyloid protein which are biomarkers of AD and track the deposition of amyloid plaques reminiscent in brain. We also discussed the current work on HSV detection through RNAscope hybridization technique & summarized the role of dietary habits as a precautionary measure of the infection as well as anthropological diversification of dementia in India and factors influencing it. We also pointed out some knowledge gaps that are further required to be taken after detection of the infection.

Maintaining proper sanitation and behavior of food handlers is crucial in determining the quality of food. In addition, the presence of Escherichia coli indicates food contamination, which can lead to foodborne illness. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the role of sanitation hygiene and food handlers’ behavior on the occurrence of Escherichia coli contamination in food served to children at Elementary Schools and Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). In this study, an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional design was employed. The population consisted of 78 individuals involved in selling children’s food during the January 2023 period. The sample consisted of 43 food vendors who were selected using a purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria were respondents who sell food in Elementary Schools and MI, and the exclusion criteria were those who sell covered or packaged food. Data were collected through observation sheets and interviews, and data analysis involved both univariate and bivariate methods, using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 31 respondents (72.1%) adhered to sanitary hygiene requirements, 33 respondents (76.7%) fulfilled the criteria for food handlers’ behavior, and 9 respondents (20.9%) had their food contaminated with Escherichia coli. There is a relationship between sanitation hygiene and Escherichia coli contamination in children’s food in Elementary Schools and MI (p-value = 0.00). Additionally, a correlation was observed between food handlers’ behavior and Escherichia coli contamination in food served at both types of schools (p-value = 0.00). These results emphasized the importance of street food vendors consistently prioritizing and implementing proper food sanitation, hygiene and healthy practices. This method was crucial to prevent Escherichia coli contamination and ensure the safety of the food served to children.
Eurasian Economic Union: Mechanisms and meanings of social-humanitarian cooperation
Authors: Osadchaya G. I.
Published: October 2023

The relevance of the research is determined by the need in new opportunities to improve the effectiveness of integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) under the increasing global instability. The author shows the importance of social-humanitarian cooperation for integration processes, describes its mechanisms, tools and meanings. The article is based on the materials of the governing bodies of the EAEU, state and non-state organizations of the member countries, current publications of the mass media and studies conducted by the Institute of Demographic Research in 2019- 2023. The author describes both the current state of cooperation between the member countries and its problems, such as the local nature of joint events held on a bilateral basis and having a small integration effect; the declining use of the Russian language in the post-Soviet space; the increasing denial of the Soviet past and a low level of support for integration among the younger groups; the lack of an acceptable consensus of the member states in assessing the depth of integration processes; overestimated expectations from the development of countries within the Union; the lack of institutional basis for social-humanitarian interaction and of supranational structures that ensure work with the population of the EAEU. The author sees the prospects for the development of humanitarian cooperation within the Eurasian integration in productive communication projects of a mass nature, which aim at a large audience and form the potential for integration of countries and peoples. The author argues that social-humanitarian projects of Eurasian integration will inevitably require content interesting for younger generations and active social groups, so that cooperation meanings would contribute to the formation of a common socialhumanitarian space of the EAEU.

Published: October 2023

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCLCA) is a fatal hepatobiliary tumor becoming more common. For a long time, it was largely ignored as an uncommon cancer and commonly misdiagnosed as carcinoma of unidentified origin; nonetheless, significant clinical and research attention has been dedicated to it lately.  First-line (gemcitabine and cisplatin), second-line (FOLFOX), and adjuvant (capecitabine) systemic chemotherapy is the accepted standard of treatment. iCLCA is genetically unique from hepatocellular carcinoma, with multiple targetable genetic abnormalities reported to be far. Indeed, FGFR2, NTRK fusions, IDH1, and BRAF targetable mutations have been thoroughly studied, and clinical evidence on pharmacologically targeting these oncogenic drivers is emerging. In addition, the role of immunotherapy has been investigated and is a hot topic. There is a need for therapeutic interventions for these ailments. Our review focuses on Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, Extrahepaticcholangiocarcinoma, Vascular Epidermal Growth Factor, IDH inhibitors, and Liver Cancer.

State aid trends in the Western Balkans in the light of the European Union acquis
Authors: Tota Elton , Hasanpapaj Bardhyl
Published: October 2023

Granting state aid to market players while ensuring compliance with the internal market requirements, as derived from the European Union (EU) acquis, seems to be a challenging exercise for the Western Balkans. As an integral part of the competition rules (Cseres & Reyna, 2021) state aid requirements proved to be a challenge, especially at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of the state efforts to keep alive certain key sectors of the economy (Bouchagiar, 2021). As an EU requirement and Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) legal obligation became even more important. Struggling between the need to save the market while respecting the state aid rules, Western Balkans seem to have to pay more and closer attention to this field. This is why this paper, through an analytical and descriptive approach, intends to address such shortcomings and challenges in light of the efforts to enhance the harmonization of the legislation while ensuring its due application. Enforcing state aid rules requires professional and independent capacities within the relevant state aid authorities an objective remaining far from reach in the Western Balkans. The paper provokes further debates and analysis in the scholarly efforts to shed light on this sector.
The Effect of Discrete Trial Teaching Using Visual Support
Techniques, Specifically Arrow Cues, on Echolalia in Children with Autism
Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Chung Ji Eun , Lee Sung Bong
Published: October 2023

In this study, the researchers aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Discrete
Trial Teaching utilizing visual arrow supports on reducing the use of echolalia
in children with autism spectrum disorders. The study participants included
three children with autism spectrum disorders who exhibited echolalic speech.
The research design employed a multiple baseline across subjects design. The
intervention consisted of two phases: in Phase 1, participants were taught to
respond to cues with arrow visual supports for labeling, while in Phase 2,
participants were taught to respond to cues using arrow motion cards as visual
supports to understand and replace echolalic utterances with relevant responses.
The results of the study indicated that the echolalia usage of all three
children decreased during intervention and this reduction was maintained and
generalized across sessions. These findings suggest that individual
interventions utilizing visual arrow supports can be an effective method to
reduce echolalia in children with autism spectrum disorders who are
characterized as visual learners.

Authors: Blagojevic Borislava , Milanovic Mladen , Gocic Milan
Published: October 2023

Drought impacts are rising worldwide, mostly because of an increase in the severity, frequency and duration of drought events. Water scarcity is one of the direct consequences of drought. A proactive approach based on drought risk management is needed to successfully lessen the vulnerability to droughts. The source of measures selected for a particular river basin in its Drought Management Plan is a Catalogue of drought management measures. One such catalogue is proposed in this paper by extensive literature and documentation review, from the perspective of the water sector. Five groups of measures comprise the catalogue of twenty-six individual measures. The grouping of measures is done according to the tradition of organizing the water sector in Serbia: (1) water systems, (2) green solutions, (3) agriculture-oriented measures, (4) aquatic ecosystems, and (5) non-structural measures. The aim of the paper is to contribute to an existing list of drought risk management measures in the light of activities on the first National Drought Plan, and the next Action plan after 2023 for the implementation of the Water Management Strategy for the Territory of the Republic of Serbia until 2034.

Published: October 2023

Lattice structures in additive manufacturing of 316L stainless steel have gained increasing attention due to their well-suited mechanical properties and lightweight characteristics. Infill structures such as honeycomb, lattice, and gyroid have shown promise in achieving desirable mechanical properties for various applications. However, the design process of these structures is complex and time-consuming. In this study, we propose a machine learning-based approach to optimize the design of honeycomb, lattice, and gyroid infill structures in 316L stainless steel fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) technology under different loading conditions. A dataset of simulated lattice structures with varying geometries, wall thickness, distance, and angle using a computational model that simulates the mechanical behavior of infill structures under different loading conditions was generated. The dataset was then used to train a machine learning model to predict the mechanical properties of infill structures based on their design parameters. Using the trained machine learning model, we then performed a design exploration to identify the optimal infill structure geometry for a given set of mechanical requirements and loading conditions. Finally, we fabricated the optimized infill structures using L-PBF technology and conducted a series of mechanical tests to validate their performance under different loading conditions. Overall, our study demonstrates the potential of machine learning-based approaches for efficient and effective designing of honeycomb, lattice, and gyroid infill structures in 316L stainless steel fabricated using L-PBF technology under different loading conditions. Furthermore, this approach can be used for dynamic loading studies of infill structures.

The paper presents a new method of harmonizing traditional and new quality indicators of hazardous production facilities that are operated at a metallurgical enterprise. As an instrumental basis, traditional organoleptic methods and new technical means installed on unmanned aerial vehicles were used. The essence of the proposed harmonization method is that it is required to supplement the system of traditional indicators in such a way as to keep their value in accordance with regulatory documents and supplement them with new knowledge obtained with new tools of the applied digital platform. The method is based on: a linguistic variable for an integrative harmonized indicator, production decision-making rules, and the principle of indicator superposition, which forms the basis of harmonization. The article describes the application of the algorithm in assessing the technical condition of the building. The results of testing showed a high level of reliability and adequacy of the proposed management decisions in the field of quality management of functioning elements at hazardous production facilities within the framework of the methodology for developing a quality management system at a metallurgical enterprise.

The study was carried out in area of Kandaghat and Solan blocks of Himachal Pradesh, India from November 2021 to April 2022 to study the constraints in high-density apple cultivation by the farmers of the mid-hills area of Himachal Pradesh, India. The present study fully relied on the primary data through a properly structured schedule for the production year 2021–2022, with a sample size of 60 farmers involved in high-density apple plantations. Garret’s ranking technique was used to find constraints perceived by the high-density apple cultivators. The objective of the research was to identify the prevailing problems of the high-density apple sector in the selected area. In this study the major problems faced by the high-density apple growers in production were the high cost of high-density apple plants, followed by identifying the disease, costly labor, and lack of technical guidance. Major marketing-related constraints expressed in the marketing of high-density apples were the problem of fluctuation of price, the high price of transportation, distant market, and high commission charges, further the data revealed that the major environmental and other related constraints were that the grading process and certification process seemed to be costly, problems from hailstorms were also found. The study also highlighted the need of proper marketing facilities as marketing helps in improving the living standard and eliminate the constraints in product and services.

Published: October 2023

The present study was conducted during September-October, 2022 at Greenhouse facility of Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture Sciences, Mandsaur University, Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, India to identify drought tolerant genotypes. Total sixty genotypes were sown on dated 02/09/2022 by using polythene bags in completely randomized block design with four different water regimes and two replications in each set during month of September, 2022.  Data were recorded for root-shoot parameters and relative leaf water content. Mean performance of root length showed that among 60 genotypes, thirty genotypes showed increased tap roots under severe water deficit conditions (0%). Under sever water stress condition (0%) highest root length was recorded of genotypes NRC138 (20.5 cm) followed by GW251 (18.15 cm) and RSC1107 (17.2 cm) respectively while lowest root length was noted in accession GW312 (3.4 cm) followed by NRC37 (5 cm) and NRC 142 (5.15 cm) respectively. Under0% water stress highest relative leaf water content was observed in genotype JS2034 (97.16%) followed by GW10 (93.47%) and GW159 (89.18%) whereas lowest was found in GW28 (20.96%) followed by GW100 (26.31%) and AGS25 (26.66%). On basis of mean data of root length, relative leaf water content, root shoot ratio by length and visual observation of plants, 11 genotypes were identified as drought tolerant and 19 genotypes were identified as medium tolerant. The identified drought tolerant genotypes may be used as water stress tolerant genotypes in future for improvement of crop in relation to drought tolerance.
Reliability prediction of a mechatronic hydraulic drive at the early design stages

Published: October 2023

The article deals with the reliability of technological machines that use hydraulic feed drives. A priority task in mechanical engineering is the design of mechanical systems with higher stability, reliability, and performance. Various mechatronic systems are used to solve this problem, including mechatronic motion modules for hydraulic drives of technological machines. It is noted that the study of the reliability of mechatronic systems presents a special problem since the interaction of mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic systems gives rise to some new aspects of the theory of reliability. The main technical solutions for reliability incorporated in the design directly impact the machine's functional and economic characteristics. When predicting reliability at an early stage of design, there is the greatest uncertainty (entropy) in assessing the possible states of the machine. As an object of study, a mechatronic hydraulic drive is considered an electro-hydraulic motion module, which can be used in feed drives for heavy metal-cutting machines or industrial robots with a large load capacity. An important parametric characteristic of such a drive is the positioning accuracy of the working body, its stability, and the preservation of values within the specified limits over time. A review of the methodology for assessing and predicting the reliability of mechanical systems is carried out. It is noted that several statistical methods require the accumulation of test results for serial models or prototypes, but many important factors may not be taken into account. The purpose of this article is to obtain the results of predicting the parametric reliability of mechatronic hydraulic drives by using the method of expert assessments (rank correlation) at the early stages of design. This method is based on the ability of independent experts (qualified experts in the field) to provide useful information in the face of quantitative uncertainty. When setting the problem of predicting reliability, the factors that affect the positioning accuracy of the hydraulic drive were ranked in order of importance (ranked). An analytical relationship was established between the weight of the factor and its number in the series. The arithmetic mean weight, the mean relative weight, the standard deviation of the factors that affect the parametric reliability of the drive, and the coefficient of variation are determined. The consistency of expert opinions was shown based on heuristic indicators using the concordance coefficient (Kendall criterion). The considered technique can be used to predict and evaluate the reliability of mechatronic systems that are being developed for use in various fields of technology.
INVESTIGATION OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF A NANOCOMPOSITE OF SUPERPARAMAGNETIC IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES WITH POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL

Published: October 2023

This paper presents the results of a new investigation of the rheological properties of a nanocomposite of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The surface of the nanocomposite had no electrical charge and the SPIONs were coated with the polymer. The investigations were performed at different temperatures and the results were compared on different rheological parameters. The steady-state behavior of samples was observed at 20 °C and 40 °C and a small increase of viscosity versus shear strain, shear rate or time was revealed at 60 °C. Moreover, the shear stress increase was observed with the increase of shear rate and shear strain. The slopes of the corresponding changes were higher at 20 °C and decreased with the increase in temperature. The torque values increased with shear strain and time. The same phenomenon concerning the different slopes at different temperatures was observed for the torque-shear strain and torque-time variations. These results showed that the rheological properties of the nanocomposite depended on the temperature and could change with the temperature increase. An advantage of this study was that the comparative investigation of the rheological properties of nanocomposite at different temperatures was carried out. The other advantage was that the effect of the coating of the SPIONs with the polymer was observed in the obtained results. This new investigation of the nanaocomposite of SPIONs-PEG coated with PEG can provide comparative data for more investigations of the surface charged SPIONs coated with this polymer. These studies can provide information for a further investigation of the effect of the surface charge of SPIONs in the polymeric matrix on their rheological properties.
