The Stratigraphic Drilling Project of the Russian Arctic Shelf conducted by the PJSC Rosneft is aimed at discover the stratigraphic age and rock composition of sedimentary succession of its subsurface. In 2021, six shallow wells for the first time have been drilled with core sampling in the east of the Laptev Sea. Drilling revealed folded sedimentary succession dated back to the Late Barremian – Early Aptian. The synrift complex overlying unconformably dates to the Paleocene. The upper strata dates from Eocene to Pleistocene and contains significant hiatuses. The data discovered together with the results of seismic interpretation clarified the regional geological model and dated the stages of its tectonic evolution.

Published: September 2024

Using optically stimulated luminescence dating, the Late Pleistocene-Holocene deposits of the crest relief of the Tobol-Ishim interfluve (southwest of the Western Siberian Plain, Russian Federation), footslope colluvial deposits on the right-bank terrace of the Ishim River valley and dune sands in the Tobol River valley were studied for the first time. The first obtained luminescence ages provide older ages of crest deposits, than previously assumed, from 33.5±1.5 to 25.8±1.3 ka. The formation of the footslope colluvial cover on the right bank of the Ishim River valley began ~22 ka ago. Dune pinery sands in the Tobol River valley relate to a later stage of aeolian accumulation and were formed due to local wind reworking of the alluvial deposits of the youngest river terrace in the Late Glacial-Holocene.
Nd-isotope effects through factional crystallisation-assimilation (AFC) processes in the continental crust, heterogeneous in age: the example of ferrobasalts from the Ladoga Graben (Karelia, Russia)

Published: September 2024

Petrography, geochemistry and isotope geochemistry of the Mesoproterozoic volcanic rocks occurred as lava flows and the Valaam sill in the Ladoga rift, have been studied. The Ladoga rift is located in the area of thrusting of the Palaeoproterozoic Svekofennian orogenic complexes onto the Archean Karelian craton. Ferrobasites of close composition and geological position in lava flows and sill have different Nd isotopic composition, differing by 5 units εNd(t): –4…-5 in ferrobasalts of lava flows and a very low-radiogenic Nd isotopic composition in mafic rocks of the sill (εNd(t) to –11 for ferrogabbro), and identical to the isotopic composition of its acidic rocks (εNd(t) to –11 for granophyres). It is shown that in the crust, heterogeneous in age, the process of fractional crystallisation along the tholeiitic trend combined with assimilation of melt from wall rocks can be an effective mechanism for forming such “paradoxical” features of the Nd isotopic composition. The isotopic composition of sill rocks indicates the probable presence of Mesoarchean blocks in the lower crust of the Ladoga graben region.

Published: September 2024

Based on fluctuations measurement results in the components of wind speed, air temperature and concentration of aerosol particles on a desertified area in the Astrakhan region under conditions of intermittent emission of dust aerosol, vertical turbulent fluxes of dust aerosol and heat were determined. Using spectral analysis, the temporal variability of the horizontal and vertical components of wind speed, air temperature and concentration of dust aerosol particles was characterized. It is shown that the intermittent emission of the dust aerosol is determined by low-frequency convective-induced variations in the horizontal component of wind speed when the threshold saltation speed is exceeded. Significant differences in the spatiotemporal variability of vertical heat transfer and dust aerosol were revealed. The 30-minute average values of heat fluxes (90–158 W/m2) and dust aerosol (7.2–27.5 cm–2cm–1), as well as the rate of heat removal (14–21 cm/s) and dust aerosol (10–16 cm/s).

Published: September 2024

This article considers modern methods of steel production and their impact on the quality of wire rod made from grade 80 steel and applied for hardware products manufacturing. From research data on the chemical composition of wire rod produced by the oxygen-converter method and in an arc steelmakingfurnace, it can be noted that, in general, the chemical composition of the wire rod meets the requirements, while the steel produced in the converter contains less phosphorus, sulfur and non-ferrous metal impurities and nitrogen. This fact should have a beneficial effect on the ductility of the wire during further cold drawing. The analysis of the quality indicators of the finished wire rod produced from billets obtained according to various technological schemes showed that the integral quality indicator is at the same level when using optimal modes of out-of-furnace processing and continuous casting of steel.

Published: September 2024

The pandemic of HIV/AIDS has severely impacted the most vulnerable sections of society in Pakistan. The results of the current study on the HIV epidemiology in Faisalabad, Pakistan, highlighted the importance of preventive measures. The current study attempted to assess the prevalence of HIV in Faisalabad. Moreover, it also identified potential risk factors for the spread of this pandemic in the region. A total of 1540 test results were gathered between March 2020 and July 2022 from 3 hospitals, that is, Allied Hospital, Aziz Fatima, and DHQ Hospital Faisalabad. Immuno-chromatographic Technique (ICT) was used to detect the presence of the infection. The researchers in District Faisalabad, Pakistan, surveyed 1540 locals to determine the HIV prevalence in that area. About 33 cases of HIV infection were confirmed through ICT, with a prevalence rate of 2.14%. Roughly, 25 males, however, only 8 females tested positive for HIV. Since more than half of HIV diagnoses occur in people between the ages of 15 and 30, it is essential that HIV prevention efforts focus on this demographic. The increased exposure to unsanitary needles and blood may explain why city dwellers appear more vulnerable than rural residents. The findings confirm that HIV is a serious threat to public health in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Community health professionals must work together to educate the public and come up with other solutions to this problem.
Domestic Space Structure and Abandonment Behavior: The Ye Family Complex at Baomei, Tong An District (Fujian, P.R. China)
Authors: Holl Augustin
Published: September 2024

Anthropological archaeology strives to recover, understand and explain past social dynamics. It relies on the uncovered material record to highlight past behavior patterns. For such a research agenda to be successful, one needs to fully understand all aspects of the processes involved in the formation of the archaeological record. It is undisputed that “Abandonment” is the condition _sine qua none_ for the formation of archaeological sites. Fieldwork conducted at the Ye Family high ranking Qing Dynasty office-holder housing complex, outlines the “use-history” of the investigated architectural complex and its adjustment to China recent contemporary history. The housing complex shifted from an initial prestigious imperial office-holder family to a “commune” housing for disadvantaged families during the cultural revolution, to be finally either progressively abandoned and/or re-cycled as storage complex. Combining informant input and field archaeology methodologies, the study of an abandoned elite traditional vernacular house provides the opportunity to decipher abandonment processes and contribute to the theoretical agenda of anthropological archaeology.
On Purported Physical Realizations of So-called Quantum Information Technologies
Authors: Li Guang-Liang
Published: September 2024

Bell’s inequality is derived by resorting to a hidden-variable theory devised for resolving the Einstein-Bohr debate on the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. The legitimacy of quantum superposition for describing the physical world is the essence of the debate. Einstein argued against the legitimacy of quantum superposition. Testing Bell’s inequality by experiments with the experimental results explained by Bell’s theorem opened the door to so-called quantum information technologies. In quantum information theory, “quantum bit” (or “qubit” for short) in a form of quantum superposition is supposed to represent quantum information. In the present paper, a new principle, the general principle of measurements, is introduced and proved as a mathematical theorem. Based on this principle, the experiments for testing Bell’s inequality and so-called experimental evidence for physically realizable “qubit” are scrutinized. The findings are as follows. Although most physicists believe that Einstein’s vision of the physical world contradicts the experimental results of testing Bell’s inequality, actually Einstein’s viewpoint is irrelevant to Bell’s theorem. Bell’s inequality failed to capture the essence of the Einstein-Bohr debate. The experimental results of testing Bell’s inequality and the measurement outcomes of various experiments involving “qubit” are all erroneously explained. Without involving hidden variables, quantum mechanics can be completed based on the general principle of measurements by using disjunction (“or”) as the logical relation between the orthonormal vectors that span an arbitrarily given Hilbert space, and the mathematical setting can remain essentially unchanged. All kinds of “qubit” violate the general principle of measurements and can only describe imaginary objects that do not exist in the real world. A very regrettable conclusion from the above findings is inevitable: Quantum information has no physical carriers, and all quantum information technologies are not physically realizable.

Investigating the potential impact of ELF3-associated SNPs on chondrocyte inflammation
Authors: Karaosmanoğlu Beren , Aydın Büşra , İmren Gözde , Sağ Erdal , Taşkıran Ekim Z.
Published: September 2024

Objective: Chondrocyte inflammation is a critical factor in degenerative joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA), significantly impairing quality of life through chronic pain and limited mobility. Genetic predisposition is recognized as a critical factor in the progression of chondrocyte inflammation and OA, with particular focus on the role of genetic variants in the expression and regulation of inflammatory mediators. This study aimed to obtain information about the potential roles of a few genes containing ELF3-associated SNPs in the pathogenesis of chondrocyte inflammation.
Materials and Methods: GVAT Database was used to select top candidate SNPs associated with ELF3, a cardinal transcription factor in chondrocyte inflammation. Inflammation was induced by IL-1β treatment in differentiated chondrocytes to analyze gene expression patterns. Transcriptome analysis was done by RNA sequencing.
Results: The most important SNPs that could potentially affect the binding affinity of ELF3 transcription factor were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, 52% of ELF3-associated SNPs were found in protein-coding regions, 40% in gene-free intergenic regions, and 8% in non-coding RNA sequences. Some of these SNPs are located in regulatory regions (enhancers). A significant increase in expression levels in the ELF3 gene was detected after IL-1β administration, indicating that IL-1β promotes the activity of this transcription factor. mRNA expressions of TLN2, BABAM2, PEPD, and NUDT5 were also increased after IL-1β stimulation.
Conclusion: The presence of ELF3-associated SNPs in the enhancer sequences of TLN2 and BABAM2 genes, in addition to the increased expression of these two genes upon IL-1β stimulation, suggested that TLN2 and BABAM2 genes may be associated with the severity of chondrocyte inflammation and OA.
Melatonin can mitigate H2O2-induced atrophy and promote muscle fiber hypertrophy in morphological level in mouse myoblast cell line
Authors: Karimi Ahmadi Nazli , Kartal Yasemin , Budak Murat Timur
Published: September 2024

Objective: It is known that oxidative stress is the main factor in the formation of disuse muscle atrophy which is the most common type of muscle atrophy. The utilization of antioxidants as supplements, particularly the category known as mitochondrial targeting antioxidants (MTA), such as melatonin, have demonstrated significant potential as an advanced therapeutic approach. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of melatonin application on the cellular morphology of the C2C12 cell line.
Materials and Methods: In our experiment, we induced oxidative stress using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to create a model of skeletal muscle atrophy. We established four distinct groups of C2C12 cells, all exposed to the same conditions. These groups included Control (C), Melatonin (M), H2O2 (H), and Melatonin + H2O2 (MH). The aim was to examine morphological features, specifically myotube diameters, to assess atrophy.
Results: The analysis revealed significant differences in diameters among the groups (p < 0.05). The melatonin treatment group not only showed a mitigation of diameter change due to atrophy but also exhibited a significant increase in diameter.
Conclusion: The results suggest that H2O2 induces muscle atrophy, and melatonin plays a dual role in maintaining muscle health, protecting against atrophy and promoting hypertrophy, particularly at the morphological level. However, additional research is needed to figure out the details of underlying mechanisms.

Se estudió la distribución temporal de los colémbolos en cuatro asociaciones vegetales en una zona semiárida de Zacatecas, utilizando como método de colecta trampas amarillas o platos trampa. Las colectas se efectuaron durante 5 meses (junio a octubre) del 2009 en cuatro zonas con vegetaciones diferentes: izotal, nopalera cultivada, nopalera silvestre y cultivo de maíz. Los resultados obtenidos de las colectas realizadas evalúan la eficiencia con el método de trampeo mencionado. Aunque no es el método tradicional de colecta para microartrópodos edáficos se obtuvieron un total de 7,230 colémbolos con una riqueza de 17 especies. También se presentan datos de abundancia y diversidad registrados en los sitios de colecta, así como la comparación entre estos datos y la variación temporal. Esta es la primera vez que se hace el estudio sistemático de los colémbolos de un izotal y cultivos asociados, como nopaleras y maíz de temporal.

Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the importance of innovations in the formation of competitiveness of an economic entity. The methodological foundations of different approaches to assessing the competitiveness of enterprise are described. The level of competitiveness in the current conditions of Ukraine’s development is carried out on the basis of the data of the joint Polish-Ukrainian enterprise «Modern-Expo», which is one of the top 5 largest equipment manufacturers. Comparison of competitiveness of several large enterprises (which are defined by the author as the main competitors of the firm at the supranational level) allowed to prove that innovation is one of the competitive advantages of enterprise. The value of the presented scientific research lies in the simultaneous study of the impact of innovations on ensuring competitiveness within the national market and in the international economic environment. A methodical approach to determining the level of impact of innovations on competitiveness on the basis of the «matrix of levels of influence» (assessment indicators) according to a seven-level assessment has been proposed and approbated. The results of such an analysis make it possible to determine the needs for a certain type of innovation. A multi-quadrant of the impact of innovations on competitiveness has been developed and presented on the example of JV LLC «Modern-Expo», which is a graphical reflection of the analysis of the level of impact of innovations on the competitiveness of an individual economic entity. A close direct connection between innovation and competitiveness of enterprise is proved with the help of correlation analysis, which is proposed to be supplemented by graphical factor analysis. By analyzing modern forms of reporting of domestic enterprises, groups of factor and effective indicators of factor analysis of the impact of innovations on the competitiveness of enterprise in the current conditions (conditions of martial law) have been allocated.

Published: September 2024

The article is concerned with systematization of factors that hinder the development of human capital in rural areas of Ukraine and are components of the mechanism of its destruction. The factors of destruction of human capital in rural areas are: low-quality school education; poor medical care; unsatisfactory level of development of social infrastructure; monopsony of agricultural enterprises in the rural labor market; low level of development of non-agricultural species; urbanization and the growth of rural unemployment. These factors cause such challenges as low labor productivity, high potential for unemployment and marginalization, excess of mortality over birth rate, migration, low incomes and depopulation of rural areas, which, in turn, lead to the destruction of human capital in rural areas. The development of human capital in rural areas of Ukraine largely depends on social infrastructure. The revival of the village is impossible without the priority development of its social sphere, which requires comprehensive institutional and material measures. Improving the quality of educational and medical services, as well as the development of socio-cultural facilities are critically important for stable economic development and improving the well-being of the population in rural areas. The problems of implementing the strategic task of reproduction and development of human capital in rural areas are caused by the low level of innovation and technological modernization in the agrarian sector, which negatively affects labor productivity. The existing link between the development of human capital and the socioeconomic progress of rural areas emphasizes the need to create conditions for the reproduction of human capital through the development of entrepreneurship, improving the quality of labor potential and social infrastructure. Effective human capital development in rural areas requires overcoming these challenges through an integrated approach that includes innovative solutions, investment in social and productive infrastructure, and increased entrepreneurship.

The aim of the article is to study the impact of martial law on ensuring the quality of accounting information in the context of wartime in order to provide recommendations for its improvement. It is determined that the quality of financial statements increases especially under martial law, but the issues of ensuring the quality of accounting information are not sufficiently resolved both at the theoretical and practical levels. The article analyzes the impact of hostilities on the quality of reporting. A direct analysis of literary sources made it possible to identify the main factors that influenced the quality of accounting information under martial law, namely: the introduction of tax changes; the need to change approaches to the accounting of individual objects; compliance with the principle of caution in the disclosure of information; the danger of losing access to information. The practical impact is investigated by comparing the annual reports for 2022 and 2023. some enterprises in various fields of activity (JSC «Ukrposhta», PJSC «Kyivstar», JSC CB «Privatbank», PJSC «Poltava Mining and Processing Plant», LLC «Silpo-Food»). The most sensitive items to military operations, defined in the Notes to the financial statements of the studied enterprises, are highlighted. It is specified that the impact of wartime is determined by enterprises in different ways, however, strange as it may seem, economic entities pay insufficient attention to this issue, illuminating uncontrolled items in reports or forming general phrases regarding the impact of hostilities on the enterprise, while trying to embellish information that directly affects the quality of the submitted reports, reduces its usefulness for interested users. The relevance of further research on issues related to the assessment of the impact of these indicators on the quality of reporting of enterprises is substantiated.

Over the past decades, Ukraine has undergone significant economic transformations – from a planned Soviet-type economy to a market economy. This transition requires continuous improvement of the State regulatory system to ensure economic stability and sustainable growth. The aim of the article is to summarize the trends in globalization of crisis phenomena occurring in the global market, analyze the most significant and general scientific approaches and substantiate the conceptual foundations of the mechanism of the State regulation in the context of the russian invasion of Ukraine. The article elaborates the processes of influence of the State in the sphere of economic relations in the context of post-COVID recovery of the economic mechanism and the russian-Ukrainian war. The conceptual foundations of the formation of the modern system of the State regulation of the economy of Ukraine are presented, among which it is expedient to allocate the methodology for ensuring the conception of formation of the system of the State regulation of the national economy, the conceptual approach to substantiating the components in the development of the system of the State regulation of Ukrainian economy and the mechanism for ensuring the economic security in terms of an organization. The influence of the external environment at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the Ukrainian economy is studied. Modern paradigm changes in the global mechanism of economic integration of the socioeconomic system of Ukraine, the impact of globalization processes and the destruction of the global system of corporate relations require the subjects of the State regulation to constantly adapt to the conditions of martial law and bring to the fore the problem of ensuring national security. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the importance of both theory and practice of expanding the understanding of the mechanism of the State regulation for ensuring the security of the State. That is, the system of the State regulation of the economy of Ukraine should be flexible, adaptive and focused on sustainable development, combining measures to solve both current socioeconomic problems and global challenges, as well as promote Ukraine’s integration into the international community.
