The article reveals the modern features of international cooperation between Russia and Vietnam. The characteristic of commodity circulation between countries is given. It has been established that in mutual trade in Russia it has a stable negative balance. At the same time, in 2019, Vietnam ranked 14th in terms of imports and for the year this indicator increased by 4.4%. In the first quarter of 2020, imports of goods and services from Vietnam were almost 5 times higher than exports to Vietnam. The analysis of data on the volume of investments showed that in recent years, the investment activity of Vietnamese investors in the direction of Russia has remained at an extremely low level.The scope and factors of population migration from Vietnam to Russia were also analyzed. Particular attention is paid to attracting and pushing factors for Vietnamese migrants. The characteristic is given to the main migration flows — labor and educational. The analysis of Vietnamese migration in Russia showed that it occupies a very modest place in the migration attitudes of Vietnamese. One of the reasons for this is the insufficiently active migration policy in Russia towards Vietnam, the transformation of which will contribute to the socio-economic development of strategically important regions of the country, such as the Far East.

Published: May 2023

Te Hanga Ora: a new vision for social housing built on an architecture of engagementThe failings of legacy social housing architecture scar communities across the country. New Zealand’s social housing stock is neither desirable nor dignified - and yet, we haven’t built enough of it! A new vision is for social housing needs to be accessible, to respect the dignity of its inhabitants, and to facilitate social interaction. It should be designed from the ground up to support the social bonds that are the building blocks of healthy communities. This thesis proposes a new vision for social housing: Te Hanga Ora.

Incorporating principles from trauma-informed architecture, universal accessibility principles and informed by engagement simulations using Fluid Sociability, Te Hanga Ora is built to inspire community.

Te Hanga Ora is a medium-density concept apartment building providing single, and double-bedroom apartments, for the 80% of the social housing register deemed to need such spaces. It incorporates an innovative approach to fostering community. It uses a mix of spatial continuity across indoor and outdoor environments, flexible social spaces on a spectrum from public to private and a rooftop community garden to promote social engagement. Te Hanga Ora has been designed illustratively for a site in Kilbirnie, Wellington but is presented as a scalable blueprint for national application.

Te Hanga Ora finds a balance between unsuitable high density development and unscalable low density development. It enables diverse needs to be met by an architecture of engagement and represents a step toward a social housing system that will build a stronger Aotearoa New Zealand for tomorrow.

Published: May 2023

Education is considered a vital cog in a country’s economic engine in terms of training, research and development. Accordingly, a formal education system remains a mode of rationing opportunities, differentiation and the allocation of individuals into various positions within a society’s social stratification structure. Certainly, the obtainment of educational credentials has been linked to occupational, trajectory, income, and attendant life chances. In light of this, the achievement gap remains an important issue since an education provided in a more equal and equitable manner could be an important tool to bridge the gap between the rich and poor citizens within a country. This study aimed to ascertain the Matthew effect and its contribution to students’ academic achievement gap in the basic education schools of Rwanda. The study was guided by descriptive and correlational research design, stratified and systematic random sampling as well as purposive sampling were used to select 350 participants, including 51.4% males and 48.6% females, mostly aged 30 to 40 years. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaire and interviews. The collected data were descriptively analysed using IBM-SPSS 21. The study established that socio-economically disadvantaged students mostly enrol in under-resourced and low-performing schools i.e. public and government-aided schools. Furthermore, the study identified that private and international school students outperform their counterparts enrolled in public or government-aided schools. Moreover, a significant (p-value .011) low degree of positive correlation (r= .159) was established between the students’ academic achievement and their parents’ socio-economic category. In conclusion, the Rwandan aim of ensuring access to quality, equitable and effective education for all is facing a bleak foreseeable future due to the existing academic achievement gap influenced by the Matthew effect. Recommendations were therefore formulated with a view to eradicating the Matthew effect in the basic education schools of Rwanda.
Examining the Relationships between Academic Adaptation and Life-Domain Issues among Working University Students in Estonia
Authors: Toyon Mohammad Abu Sayed
Published: May 2023

Juggling work, personal responsibilities, and academic obligations can be challenging for many students, who work while studying, potentially leading to difficulties in adapting to the academic demands and compromising academic success. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between life domain (e.g., work, personal, and university) obstacles and academic adaptation among working university students in Estonia. Using the data from the Eurostudent-VII survey, the study estimated quantitative measures of association. The findings suggest that work-related issues negatively affect academic adaptation, while concerns related to childcare and the financial situation did not have any statistically significant impact. In contrast, issues with unsuitable and demanding academic programmes were found to significantly affect academic adaptation for working students. This study sheds light on the challenges faced by working students and the manner in which these obstacles can affect academic experiences, underscoring the need for support for employed university students in Estonia. Such knowledge can be put to further research use, and it can also inform initiatives aimed at assisting students, who are simultaneously working and pursuing higher education.

Published: May 2023

The results of the study of exterior and constitutional features, the phenotypic correlation of live weight with body measurements and body built indexes in herd horses of the Buryat breed are presented. The research material was full-grown stallions (n= 7) and mares (n= 20), as well as horse colts (n= 20) and fillies (n= 20) aged 1.5 and 2.5 years. It has been established that stud stallions in live weight exceed the breed standard by 25.8%, mares - by 23.8%, colts - by 28.0-28.5% and fillies - by 12.3-25.7%. The measurement of the articles of the body also indicates their superiority in all basic measurements over the standard. The calculation of the body built indexes indicates that individuals are characterized by pronounced meaty forms. At the same time, males are characterized by a more solid build, broad and stretched body of a strong constitution. Analysis of the obtained data shows that the horses of the Buryat breed in terms of live weight and body parts measurements belong to the massive type I of the ecological zone. In adults and young animals at the age of 1.5 and 2.5 years, a positive, at a fairly high level, correlation between live weight and all measurements was revealed. A closer relationship of the live weight in stallions and mares was noted with the cannon bone girth (r= 0.586;r= 0.770), in colts and fillies at the age of 1.5 years - with chest girth (r= 0.903) and height at the withers (r= 0.903), respectively. With age, in colts, the relationship between the live weight and the body length increases (r= 0.902), in fillies - with chest girth (r= 0.623). The revealed relationships of the live weight with exterior and constitutional features in herd horses will allow to increase the pressure on a specific breeding trait during selection.

Published: May 2023

Due to the increased interest in the cultivation and use of naked oats in recent years, the evaluation of naked samples of spring oats of competitive variety testing by grain yield and the elements of its structure was carried out. The studies were conducted in 2013-2021. Eleven naked spring oat samples of the "Nemchinovka" Federal Research Center selection were studied. The Tyumensky Golozerny variety was used as a standard. During the experiment, sample yields ranged from 1.9 to 2.9 t/ha. Four samples stood out in terms of yield: 52h2467 (2.9 t/ha), 38h2273, 11h2619 (2.5 t/ha each), and 2h2348 (2.3 t/ha). The increase to the standard variety in these samples was 0.1-0.7 t/ha with LSD05 = 0.13-0.53 t/ha. The maximum grain yield (32% more than the standard) in a competitive variety trial showed the sample 52h2467. During the 9 years of research the high-est yield was observed with productive bushiness 1.1-1.4 units, the weight of 1 thousand grains 30.2-35.2 g and the weight of grains per a panicle 0.90-2.06 g. According to the results of the correlation analysis, the productive bushiness (r = 0,72), the weight of grains per a panicle (r = 0,70) and the weight of 1 thousand grains (r = 0,38) are the main elements of the crop structure, which have the strongest impact on the yield of grain in the Northern region.

It was shown by the conductometric study that the formation of micelles in the cetyltrimethylam¬monium bromide (CTAB) – dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) – water system occurs at higher critical micelle concentrations (CMC) than in the CTAB – water system. The solubilization of nitroxoline in this system upon reaching the CMC was determined by the spectrophotometric method. The Box–Behnken design was used to obtain systems with the highest light absorption of nitroxoline, depending on the CTAB concentration, the acidity of the pH medium, and the proportion of DMSO when searching for the optimal matrix. A sensitive and selective technique suitable for micellar media and spectrophotometric analysis was developed using the response surface methodology for the determination of nitroxoline in medicines.

In this study, the method of thermal decomposition of iron(III) oleate at different ratios of oleic acid and octadecene-1 was used to obtain iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that they all had a spherical shape and a diameter of 8–9 nm, and FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of oleate shells in them, which ensure the stability of the colloidal solutions of these nanoparticles in nonpolar solvents. For all synthesized IONPs, the sizes of the crystalline core formed by iron oxides were determined using X-ray diffraction analysis and magnetometry. The sizes of the oleate protective shells were established by comparison with the TEM data. These values were in agreement with those from the literature.

Laws of Physics Define the Insignificant Warming of Earth by CO2
Authors: Lightfoot H. Douglas , Ratzer Gerald
Published: May 2023

This study provides temperature estimates about the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) in warming the Earth’s atmosphere using readily available information. It compares the grams of water vapor per kilogram (kg) of dry air with the number of grams of CO2 per kg of dry air. This comparison is over a year for 20 representative areas of the Earth. It shows the grams of water vapor range from 0.1 to 44.0 times that of CO2. The increased heat content (enthalpy) of the atmosphere by CO2 causes a maximum temperature increase of 0.006oC from the Poles to the Equator. This amount is too small to measure. These quantitative results indicate that the Tropics, representing 39.8% of the Earth’s surface, contain almost three-quarters of the atmosphere’s water vapor. In contrast, the Arctic and Antarctic areas at the Poles have an estimated 0.9% of the atmosphere’s water vapor. Water vapor is the significant greenhouse gas that keeps the Earth from being a frozen planet.
Theoretical Investigation of the Charge Transport Properties of the DPTTA p-Type Single Crystal to the Ambipolar DPTTA-F4TCNQ Cocrystal

Published: May 2023

Our research has been conducted on the charge transport properties of the single-crystal DPTTA and the cocrystal DPTTA-F4TCNQ using the density functional theory coupled with incoherent charge-hopping model. Charge mobility is primarily considered from the combination of reorganization energy and charge transfer integral, which are important parameters in model of the charge-hopping model. The reorganization energy of DPTTA in both single-crystal and cocrystal forms exhibits similar values. Consistent with the properties of super-exchange coupling and direct coupling when under the same type of coupling mechanism, it decreases with increasing distance from the core molecule. We conclude this section by using kinetic Monte Carlo combined with Einstein's equation to derive the charge mobility, and find it to be consistent with the theoretical analysis. In our study, we propose corresponding theoretical guidelines for the rational realization of the ambipolarity of D-A complexes, hoping to contribute to the understanding and rational design of the basic mechanism of D-A complexes.

Published: May 2023

Biofuel is an alternative energy to replace fossil fuels. The most popular form of biofuel today is bioethanol. Biofuels are considered as a suitable alternative to fossil fuels because they are more environmentally friendly. Production of bioethanol utilizing thermophilic microorganisms is more profitable because thermophilic microbes generally have the characteristics of being able to use a variety of substrates, low contamination, and resistance to high temperatures. The use of microbial consortia tends to give better results than the use of monoculture isolates to optimize bioethanol yields. The aim of this study was to determine the compatibility and ability of the best thermophilic bacterial triculture consortium from the Mudiak Sapan hot springs in producing biofuel. This research is a descriptive research, to test isolates of a consortium of thermophilic bacteria that produce bioethanol. The results of this study showed that consortium isolates tended to give better results than monoculture isolates. The best thermophilic bacterial triculture consortium from the Mudiak Sapan hot springs in producing biofuels namely MS 12, 17, 18 produced a bioethanol content of 0.863%.

Final outcomes were labeled at day-180. Results: In a total of 320 children, 170 (53.1%) were male. Overall, the mean age was 1.3±0.5 years while 166 (51.9%) children were aged between 1 to 2 years. A total of 166 (51.9%) children responded to allocated treatment. The response rate was significantly better in Group-B (n=118, 73.8%) versus Group-A (n=48, 30.0%), p<0.0001. Significantly more children in Group-A missed follow-ups in comparison to those in Group-B (11.8% vs. 1.9%, p=0.0006). Mortality was statistically similar in both study groups (2.5% vs. 1.9%, p=0.7023). The most treatment related adverse effect was noted to be increased appetite and/or weight, gastrointestinal symptoms and sleep disturbance in 253 (79.1%), 121 (37.8%) and 117 (36.6%) respectively. Increased appetite and/or weight gain was significantly more in Group-A (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The findings of this study are in support of using combination therapy of prednisolone and vigabatrin instead of monotherapy for patients with infantile spasm as reflected by higher number of responders to therapy.

Field evaluation of 50 local landraces against paddy yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) was carried out at the College of Agriculture, V.C. Farm, Mandya during Kharif 2022. The per cent of damage by YSB on different genotypes was evaluated at 30, 60 and 90 days after transplanting (DAT). Based on the mean per cent incidence genotypes were grouped into different resistance categories using the Standard Evaluation System for Rice (SES) developed by IRRI. Results revealed ten genotypes exhibiting resistance with a damage score of 1, while 25 genotypes showed moderate resistance (score 3). Additionally, ten genotypes displayed moderate susceptibility (score 5), and five genotypes were susceptible (score 7) to YSB infestation. Notably, none of the genotypes were classified as highly resistant or highly susceptible. Promising resistant and moderately resistant genotypes, including Chinna Ponni – 5, Jeerige Sanna, Karimundaga, Kyasakki, Kariga Javele, Kari Doddi, Kari Dodi Budda, Laalya, Murkanna Sanna, and Sidda Sanna, were identified, offering potential for incorporation into breeding programs aimed at enhancing YSB resistance in rice cultivars.

This article examines the valorization of coffee processing by-products
in energy and environmental applications. Coffee production generates
significant waste, including pulp, husk, and wastewater, which poses
environmental challenges if not managed properly. However, these by
products also present opportunities for sustainable utilization. Various
methods such as anaerobic digestion, composting, and pyrolysis, have
been explored to convert coffee waste into energy sources like biogas and
biochar, as well as useful materials like compost. Additionally, using coffee
by-products can mitigate environmental impacts by reducing greenhouse
gas emissions and minimizing soil and water resource pollution. This
review provides insights into the current state of research, challenges, and
prospects in the valorization of coffee processing by-products for energy and
environmental sustainability.

A field experiment was conducted in sandy clay loam soils of Palaviduthi series of Theni district, Tamil Nadu, India to study the response of sugarcane with respect to N, P, K, Zn and Fe fertilizers. The nutrient status of the experimental soil at the beginning of experiment showed deficiency of N, P, K, Zn and Fe. Sorption study also confirmed that the release of P, K, Zn and Fe was very low when these elements were added to the soil. Similarly sorghum responded well in respect of dry matter yield with respect to N, P, K, Zn and Fe in a greenhouse study. In the field experiment, these elements showed significant effect on germination percentage of sugarcane compared with control. The quality parameters of sugarcane namely brix, pol, purity and CCS were recorded highest in the treatment combination of N2P2K2 Zn and Fe each @ 310, 160, 250, 31 and 72 kg ha-1 respectively. The results revealed that the optimum dose of N @ 310 kg ha-1 in the treatment combination of N2P2K2 Zn and Fe has improved the quality of sugarcane. The number of tillers, millable cane and yield of cane (138. 21 t ha-1 ) and sugar (18.52 t ha-1 ) increased with the application of N P K Zn and Fe each @ 387.5, 160, 250, 31 and 72 kg ha-1 respectively.

Sterility mosaic disease (SMD), the most devastating disease of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is caused by Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus (PPSMV) transmitted by the eriophyid mite Aceria cajani. PPSMV is known to exist as distinct isolated in different regions of India. The Coimbatore isolate of PPSMV was purified, characterized at molecular level and compared with the type isolate of Patancheru region (Andhra Pradesh state, India). While viral nucleic acid analysis, northern hybridization and RT-PCR showed similarity among these isolates, variation in the molecular weight of virus related protein was found to be responsible for characterizing Coimbatore isolate of PPSMV as a distinct one.

Studies were conducted to develop weather based forewarning model for the major pests of high altitude rice viz., green leaf hopper (GLH), brown plant hopper (BPH), leaf folder, yellow stem borer and ear head bug. Three field trials were conducted at Hybrid Rice Evaluation Centre, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Gudalur, The Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu during Kharif 2010 to 2012. Results revealed that the population of GLH and BPH started from first and second week of September, respectively and leaf folder and yellow stem borer damage started from third week of September and continued till harvest (December) of the crop. Ear head bug population was noticed during first week of October coinciding flowering of the crop with a peak during December first week and persised up to the harvest. The results of correlation and multiple regression analysis revealed that the population of GLH, BPH, ear head bug, leaf folder and stem borer damage had exerted a significant positive association with maximum temperature and significant negative association with morning relative humidity and rainfall. However, the influence of minimum temperature and evening relative humidity was not significant and 80, 81, 92, 67 and 76 per cent of variation in the population of GLH, BPH, ear head bug, leaf folder damage and stem borer damage, respectively was influenced by weather parameters. The multiple regression equation fitted with weather parameters to predict the GLH population is Y = -2.28 + 0.416 X1 - 0.043 X3 – 0.018 X5, BPH population is Y = 62.73 + 0.28 X1 – 0.67 X3 – 0.010 X5, leaf folder damage is Y = 248.23 – 1.22 X2 – 2.35 X3 + 0.04 X5, yellow stem borer damage is Y = 29.09 + 0.32 X1 -0.36 X3 – 0.002 X5, ear head bug population is Y = 26.64 – 0.253 X2 – 0.234 X3 – 0.005 X5. where, X1 - maximum temperature (oC), X2 - minimum temperature (oC), X3 - morining relative humidity (%), X4 - Evening relative humidity (%) and, X5 - rainfall (mm)
