Published: November 2022

Blue methylene is a cationic dye. It is usually as in various industries. The waste of blue methylene can reduce the environmental balance, especially for aquatic biota, by inhibiting the penetration of sunlight into the water. The experiment used the most natural ingredients and methods to minimize the existence of the dye. In this research, coconut husk was activated with NaOH solution and then used for blue methylene adsorption. The coconut husk started aims to reduce the pollution of the adsorbent to increase the adsorption capacity. The study result showed the optimum adsorption of blue methylene at pH 7 for 75 minutes of adsorption with the capacity adsorption of 1.41 mg g-1. The development of the kinetic study described the adsorption process according to a second-order pseudo reaction kinetic model with the constant adsorption rate of 2.54 x 10-4 g mg-1 minute-1.

Published: November 2022

This research aimed to synthesize and characterize the properties of green banana peel waste to be used as adsorbent material. The green banana peel waste was prepared by sieved to be banana powder and then characterized by XRD, FTIR, XRF, and TGA. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue was tested using a simple method, the “batch method”, with further analysis by spectrophotometry UV-Vis. The XRF results of green banana peel showed that most of the composition is potassium and phosphorus. The methylene blue adsorption capacity of banana peel material is up to 75.10% with 0.5 grams of adsorbent, which is more significant than in the banana peel, which is 68.04% with 0.2 grams.

Published: November 2022

The adsorption of Bismarck Brown R (BBR) dye has been conducted using mesoporous silica (MCM-48). We synthesized the adsorbent using Ludox HS-40 as a silica source and surfactants of Cetyl Trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Triton X-100. The characterization of MCM-48 was performed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Various contact times were used to study the adsorption kinetics, and concentrations were used to study the adsorption isotherm. The optimum contact time of Bismarck Brown R dye was 120 minutes, and the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order model. Based on the equation Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, the adsorption capacity values of each are obtained 158.7301 mg g-1 and 4.3601 mg g-1. Our results showed that the material can be used as a new dye adsorbent.

Research on the extraction of chemical components of Dengen (Dillenia serrata Thumb) leaves using the MAE (microwave-assisted extraction) method and activity as an antioxidant and toxicity test has been carried out. This study aimed to extract the chemical components of Dengen leaves using the MAE method and to test the antioxidant activity and toxicity of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves. The chemical components of Dengen leaves were extracted by the MAE method and obtained ethanol extract with a yield of 47%. Dengen leaves ethanol extract was partitioned with n-hexane and ethanol as solvents and obtained yields of 5% (n-hexane) and 65% (ethanol). The chemical components of Dengen leave ethanol extract were identified by phytochemical screening. The results of phytochemical screening showed the presence of secondary metabolites of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, polyphenols, terpenoids, and steroids. The antioxidant activity test of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves was carried out using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrihydrazil) method and obtained the value of IC50 = 100,363 ppm (strong antioxidant). A toxicity test of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves was carried out using the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method and obtained the value of LC50 = 18.3443 ppm (very toxic).

The majority of geochemical and cosmochemical research is based upon observations and, in particular, upon the acquisition, processing and interpretation of analytical data from physical samples. The exponential increase in volumes and rates of data acquisition over the last century, combined with advances in instruments, analytical methods and an increasing variety of data types analysed, has necessitated the development of new ways of data curation, access and sharing. Together with novel data processing methods, these changes have enabled new scientific insights and are driving innovation in Earth and Planetary Science research. Yet, as approaches to data-intensive research develop and evolve, new challenges emerge. As large and often global data compilations increasingly form the basis for new research studies, institutional and methodological differences in data reporting are proving to be significant hurdles in synthesising data from multiple sources. Consistent data formats and descriptions as well as appropriate information on data quality are becoming crucial to enabling reproducibility and integration of results and fostering confidence for data reuse. Here, we explore the key challenges faced by the geo- and cosmochemistry community and, by drawing comparisons from other communities, recommend possible approaches to overcome them. The first challenge is bringing together the numerous sub-disciplines within our community. One key factor for this convergence will be gaining endorsement from the international geochemical, cosmochemical and analytical societies and associations, journals and institutions. Increased education and outreach, spearheaded by ambassadors recruited from leading scientists across disciplines, will further contribute to raising awareness, and to uniting and mobilising the community. Appropriate incentives, recognition and credit for good data management as well as an improved, user-oriented technical infrastructure will be essential for achieving a cultural change towards an environment in which the effective use and real-time interchange of large datasets is common-place. Finally, the development of best practices for standardised data reporting and exchange, driven by expert working groups, will be a crucial step towards making geo- and cosmochemical data more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable by both humans and machines (FAIR).
Through the looking glass: the neural basis of self-concept in young adults with antisocial trajectories
Authors: van de Groep Ilse H. , Bos Marieke , Nauta-Jansen Lucres , Popma Arne , Crone Eveline
Published: November 2022

Self-concept is shaped by social experiences, but it is not yet well understood how the neural and behavioral development of self-concept is influenced by a history of antisocial behavior. In this pre-registered study, we examined neural responses to self-evaluations in young adults who engaged with antisocial behavior in childhood and either desisted or persisted in antisocial behavior. A self-concept task was performed by 94 young adults (age range 18–30-yrs). During the task, participants with a persistent or desistent antisocial trajectory (N = 54), and typically developing young adults (N = 40) rated whether positive and negative traits in different domains (prosocial, physical) described themselves. We examined both the effects of a history of antisocial behavior as well as current heterogeneity in psychopathic traits. Participants endorsed more positive than negative trait statements across domains, which did not differ between antisocial-history groups. However, current psychopathic traits were negatively associated with prosocial self-concept and mPFC activity during self-evaluation. Together, these findings suggest that antisocial tendencies might indeed be reflected in self-concept development of young adults, specifically in the prosocial domain.
To copy or not to copy? That is the question! From chimpanzees to the foundation of human technological culture
Authors: Manrique Héctor Marín , WALKER Michael John
Published: November 2022

A prerequisite for copying innovative behaviour is the capacity of observers’ brains, regarded as hierarchically mechanistic minds, to overcome cognitive ‘surprisal’ (see 2.), by maximising the evidence for their internal models, via ‘active inference’. Unlike modern humans, chimpanzees and other great apes show considerable limitations in their ability, or ‘Zone of Bounded Surprisal’, to overcome cognitive surprisal induced by innovative or unorthodox behaviour which rarely is copied precisely or accurately. Most can copy adequately what is within their phenotypically habitual behavioural repertoire, in which technology plays a scant part. Widespread intra- and intergenerational social transmission of complex technological innovations is not a hall-mark of great-ape taxa. Over three million years ago, precursors of the genus Homo made stone artefacts, and stone-flaking was likely habitual before two million years ago. After this time, early Homo erectus left traces of technological innovations, though faithful copying of these and their intra- and intergenerational social transmission were rare before a million years ago. This likely owed to a cerebral infrastructure of interconnected neuronal networks that bounds the ‘expressivity’ of internal world models (entailed by their functional architecture). Brains were smaller in size than ours, and cerebral neuronal networks ceased to develop when early Homo erectus attained full adult maturity by the mid-teen years, whereas their development continues until our mid-twenties nowadays. Pleistocene Homo underwent remarkable evolutionary adaptation of neurobiological propensities; cerebral aspects are discussed that, it is proposed here, were fundamental for faithful copying, which underpinned social transmission of technologies, cumulative learning and culture.
SECOND TO NONE – RATIONALE, TIMING, AND CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF CLOZAPINE USE IN SCHIZOPHRENIA
Authors: Qubad Mishal , Bittner Robert
Published: November 2022

Despite its continued relevance as the single most effective and important evidence-based treatment for schizophrenia, the degree of underutilization of clozapine across health systems remains considerable. To a substantial degree, this is attributable to a reluctance of psychiatrists to use clozapine due to its relatively large side-effect burden and its comparatively complex dosing and monitoring requirements. This underscores the necessity for continued education of clinicians in the intricacies of clozapine use and in the still growing case in favor of this vital treatment option. Consequently, this narrative review provides a comprehensive outline of all lines of evidence, which support clozapine’s wide-ranging superior efficacy, and of the current knowledge regarding the prevalence and diagnosis of treatment resistance. The distinct neurobiological and clinical characteristics of this condition makes the swift initiation of clozapine indispensable. Moreover, we review the extensive literature regarding clozapine’s side effect profile and current recommendations for optimal treatment and monitoring algorithms including for particularly vulnerable populations such as elderly patients and pregnant women and for potential re-challenges after myocarditis and neutropenia. We also discuss established approaches to increase treatment response as well as augmentation strategies for patients with partial or full clozapine resistance. We argue for a clear focus on early and consistent detection and management of side effects, which can ensure patient safety and reduce permanent all-cause discontinuation. This strategy needs to be combined with a long-term approach acknowledging the late onset of clozapine’s full advantageous effects, which – in cases like reduced mortality rates – even then may not be easily discernible. Our aim is to encourage a safer, more frequent, and timely use of clozapine to maximize patients’ short- and long-term benefits. Even now, the extent of these benefits as well as patient’s satisfaction with treatment still clearly set clozapine apart from all other available treatment options.
Targeting the function of the transentorhinal cortex to identify early cognitive markers of Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Bastin Christine , Delhaye Emma
Published: November 2022

Initial neuropathology of early Alzheimer’s disease accumulates in the transentorhinal cortex. We review empirical data suggesting that tasks that assess cognitive functions supported by the transenthorinal cortex are impaired as early as the preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease. These tasks span across various domains, including episodic memory, semantic memory, language, and perception. We propose that all tasks sensitive to Alzheimer-related transentorhinal neuropathology commonly rely on representations of entities supporting the processing and discrimination of items having perceptually and conceptually overlapping features. In the future, we suggest that a screening tool that is sensitive and specific to very early Alzheimer’s disease should probe memory and perceptual discrimination of highly similar entities.
A neurocognitive model of early onset persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood
Authors: van de Groep Ilse H. , Bos Marieke , Popma Arne , Crone Eveline , Nauta-Jansen Lucres
Published: November 2022

It remains unclear which functional and neurobiological mechanisms in childhood and adolescence are associated with persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood. We reviewed the empirical literature and propose a neurocognitive social information processing model for early onset persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood, focusing on how young adults evaluate, act upon, monitor, and learn about their goals and self traits. Based on the reviewed literature, we propose that persistent antisocial behavior is characterized by domain-general impairments in self-relevant and goal-related information processing, regulation, and learning, which is accompanied by altered activity in fronto-limbic brain areas. We propose that desistant antisocial development is associated with more effortful information processing, regulation and learning, that possibly balances self-relevant goals and specific situational characteristics. The proposed framework advances insights by considering individual differences such as psychopathic personality traits, and specific emotional characteristics (e.g. valence of social cues), to further illuminate functional and neural mechanisms underlying heterogenous developmental pathways. Finally, we address important open questions and offer suggestions for future research to improve scientific knowledge on general and context-specific expression and development of antisocial behavior in early adulthood
Retos en la investigación después del COVID-19
Authors: Bustillos Alberto
Published: November 2022

La enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) requirió un trabajo conjunto a nivel mundial y genero una respuesta lo más rápida posible de los sistemas de salud. Actualmente existen alrededor de 630 millones de casos confirmados de COVID-19 en todo el mundo, lo que implica riesgos para las superas que superan la enfermedad pero que pueden generar condiciones posteriores al COVID-19. El estudio de estas secuelas es una prioridad de investigación urgente. Aunque la vacunación masiva condujo a una disminución en el número de casos de COVID-19, la pandemia todavía no se considera culminada. Existe una necesidad de generar consensos sobre las condiciones y los resultados básicos que deban ser medidos por los sistemas de salud para definir las condiciones seguras y adecuadas posteriores a la COVID-19.
Por otra parte, las evidencias reportadas por la OMS generan una gran atención sobre un número alto de personas que han experimentado consecuencias importantes sobre la salud después de haber superado la fase aguda de la infección por SARS-CoV-2. Esto evidencia la necesidad de proyectos de investigación sobre los factores de riesgo, los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos, evolución clínica, características genéticas entre otros.

Authors: Sharma Pradeep Ghimire , Shrestha Santosh , Shrestha Binod Bade
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Different instruments are being used for appendiceal mesentery dissection in laparoscopic appendectomy. The effectiveness and versatility of monopolar cautery for the same makes it a commonly used option. This study aims to observe the safety and efficacy of monopolar cautery in laparoscopic appendectomy for the dissection of mesoappendix.

Methods: 424 cases who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy from November 2018 to April 2020 using monopolar cautery for mesoappendix dissection were included in this multi-centered cross-sectional retrospective study. The operating time, intra and post-operative complications and length of hospital stay were evaluated. Measures of central tendency were performed for data analysis.  

Results: Acute appendicitis was the common indication (96.7%) for the laparoscopic surgery, with 99.1% success rate with a male to female ratio of 1.17:1 and mean age of 21.48+14.80 years. The median operating time and length of hospital stay were 30 mins (range: 15–130 mins) and 3 days (range: 1-15 days), respectively. Moderate intra-operative bleeding was noted in 0.5%. Post-operative complications of wound infection (3.4%) and prolonged ileus (1.7%) were noted.

Conclusion: Use of monopolar cautery for dissection of mesoappendix in laparoscopic appendectomy is still safe and efficient even with the advent of newer and more expensive instruments in the present world.

There have been studied new strong varieties of spring bread wheat of different maturity groups (‘Tarskaya 12’, ‘Omskaya 44’ and ‘Omskaya 42’) in comparison with the standards (‘Pamyati Azieva’, ‘Duet’ and ‘Element 22’) and foreign varieties in the conditions of the south of Western Siberia. The purpose of the study was to identify the advantage of the studied wheat varieties recommended for cultivation in the Omsk region to produce grain with high baking properties. The study was carried out based on the selection crop rotation of the laboratory for spring bread wheat breeding in the nursery of Competitive Variety Testing, as well as the department of seed production when sown on fallow (intense background) in the zone of the southern forest-steppe of the Omsk region of the FSBSI “Omsk ARC”. There has been conducted a bakery quality estimation and qualification of samples according to the methodologies and classification standards recommended by the State Commission for Variety Testing of Agricultural Plants. There was identified an advantage of the medium-early variety ‘Tarskaya 12’ according to the formation of gluten amount in grain (+3.2...4.2 %), dough dilution (–34...50 u.f.), dough resilience (+24...43 mm) and flour strength (+113...188 u); middle maturing variety ‘Omskaya 44’ on the formation of dough resilience, flour strength in comparison with the standards. The middle-late variety ‘Omskaya 42’ was distinguished by high baking characteristics in comparison with the standard ‘Element 22’. A comparative analysis of the technological properties of new varieties and foreign breeding has revealed the advantage of the studied domestic varieties in formation of protein in grain and flour strength.
Comparative analysis of winter barley varieties according to productivity, its components and grain quality in the Rostov region
Authors: Zasypkina I. M. , Filippov E. G. , Popova O. A.
Published: November 2022

Among the grain forage crops in the Russian Federation, barley ranks first in terms of multi-use and gross yields. However, the current level of grain production of this crop does not fully meet the needs of the livestock and food industries. Winter barley varieties are currently approved for use in the North Caucasus, Middle Volga and Nizhnevolsk regions of the Russian Federation, where its yield is 1.5–2 times higher than that of spring barley. According to the trait ‘productivity’ barley varieties of various breeding institutions have quite significant fluctuations in the regions of their cultivation, and therefore inter-station tests are carried out to determine their response. The best ones are further used in various breeding projects. The purpose of the current paper was to analyze the trait ‘productivity’ and its components and grain quality among present local and foreign winter barley varieties, in order to use the identified ones in crossings parental forms. The monitoring of varieties was carried out on the experimental plot of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “ARC «Donskoy” (2017–2019). The subjects of the study were winter barley varieties (29 samples) of local and foreign origin. Based on the results of a system analysis, there has been identified a number of varieties that have the necessary combinations of traits important for breeding, such as:

– high productivity (the multi-row varieties ‘Marusya’, ‘Vivat’, ‘Foks 1’, ‘Erema’, ‘Artel’, ‘Dostoyny’ (Russia), ‘KWS-Scala’ (Germany), ‘Capten’ (France));

– coarse-grained (the multi-row lines ‘KWS-117’, ‘KWS-234’, ‘KWS-History’ (Germany) and the two-row varieties ‘Explorer 3’, ‘Explorer 4’, ‘Explorer 5’, ‘Explorer 7’, ‘Explorer 3/2’, ‘Explorer 4/2’, ‘Bronskyli’ (France) with more than 50 g);

– head density per 1 m2 when harvesting (the two-row varieties ‘KWS-History’ with 704 pcs/m2, ‘KWS-117’ with 710 pcs/m2 (Germany), ‘Explorer 8’ with 739 pcs/m2, ‘Explorer 3/2’ with 759 pieces/m2, ‘Wintwalt’ with 847 pieces/m2 (France));

– number of grains per head (the multi-row varieties ‘Marusya’ with 57.9 pcs, ‘Andryusha’ with 55.8 pcs (Russia), ‘Capten’ with 55.6 pcs (France) and two-row varieties ‘Explorer 3’ with 26.0 pcs., ‘Explorer 5’ with 25.9 pcs., ‘Bronskyli’ with 25.8 pcs (France);

– stable protein percentage in grain less than 11 % (the two-row varieties ‘KWS-History’ with 10.3 %, ‘KWS-234’ with 10.7 % (Germany) and ‘Explorer 3/2’ with 10.3 % (France).
Design and Construction of a Colourblind-Friendly Surabaya City Angkot Route Map Prototype
Authors: Pramesti Arzakhy Indhira , Rahardjo Noorhadi
Published: November 2022

Angkot is the most often found public transportation in Surabaya City. However, there is no angkot routes map, and the officially published route information is textual, thus hard to get the transit information quickly. Meanwhile, people with colour vision impairment have a different perception of colour compared to people with normal vision. It can affect them in making decisions when reading a map. The purpose of this study is to design a colourblind-friendly Surabaya City angkot route map prototype and to conduct a cartographic evaluation of the map by considering the colour vision impairment factor. The map was created using ArcGIS and CorelDRAW then checked by using several software packages to ensure that the colours are colourblind-friendly then tested on people with normal vision and people with colour vision impairment. Fifteen out of 15 respondents with normal vision and 11 out of 11 respondents with colour vision impairment could distinguish the colours of the route. All respondents mentioned that symbols and some texts were too small. It shows that the colours on the map can accommodate both groups, but they have difficulty reading the route map because the size of the symbols and the text is too small.
Cartographic Enclosure and Urban Cadastral Mapping in the Ethiopian Somali Capital
Authors: Emmenegger Rony
Published: November 2022

Cadastral maps, which are designed as comprehensive systems for recording and surveying land relations, are critical for making society legible and governable. However, critical cartography scholarship suggests that exercising power through maps is not straightforward: It is dependent on how maps are created and used during the mapping process. This paper examines cadastral mapping in Jigjiga, a multi-ethnic city in the Ethiopian Somali frontier where state authority over land and people have long been contested among ethnic Somali residents. This paper follows the ruling government’s renewed attempt to establish land control through spatial planning based on document analysis and ethnographic fieldwork. It investigates how urban planners enclose the city’s property landscape cartographically on land use maps and how land surveyors used these maps to georeference property. It demonstrates the critical role of land governance experts in navigating the simplified map and a complex property landscape on the ground. Cadastral mapping is instrumental for state territorialization and land commodification, integrating ethnic Somali property into the sedentary logic of the state. Rather than providing an account of how property is rendered legible, this paper highlights the incomplete and open-ended character of cadastral mapping in the constitution of private property regimes.
‘Process Toponymy’: A GIS-Based Community-Engaged Approach to Indigenous Dynamic Place Naming Systems and Vernacular Cartography
Authors: Mamontova Nadezhda , Klyachko Elena
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses the aim and the process of designing a community-engaged open-access GIS toponymic platform, based on Indigenous Evenki place names. Most projects on Indigenous toponymy available online are either oriented towards professional use among scholars or serve as enclosed repositories of Indigenous knowledge. Toponymic atlases remain the most common form of documenting and representing Indigenous place naming systems. Yet, temporal and geographic comparisons of place names have clearly demonstrated that, along with a conventional understanding of Indigenous place names as stable and conservative, there is a dynamic model of place naming to be found in nomadic societies, when the names are not only passed through generations but also modified and created. This finding required a number of methodological approaches regarding how researchers might collect and represent geospatial concepts and place names in nomadic societies, with the use of GIS technology. Our project attempts to approach this issue by creating an open digital platform that combines GIS with Indigenous vernacular cartography, place names, and a great variety of data regarding the meaning and use of toponyms, their evolution, and change. We call this approach a “process toponymy” and advocate for applying a semiotic approach to documenting and representing Indigenous place names’ knowledge via GIS-based platforms.

Published: November 2022

Labor migraton to European countries is analyzed through the prism of the region's demographic problems as well as of powerful immigraton wave that has generated contradictons between the EU's central migraton policy and the one pursued by separated European countries. On the example of historical documents from the Swiss Federal Archives in Bern, the author shows the contnuity of both the features of migraton trends and independent approaches to the development of internal migraton policy, in partcular by the Swiss authorites. As a fruitul element in the analysis of factors, immediate causes, consequences and the very labor actvity of non‑European immigrants, the author proposes to use variants of the deprivaton theory that have been tested for decades in many areas of socio‑psychological and economic research.

Air transport has become the most dynamic segment of the PRC's transport services market. As a necessary conditon for the country's territorial integrity and the unity of its economic space, regular air lines connect all parts of the huge state, ensure the expansion of China's foreign economic relatons and its integraton into the system of world economic relatons. Despite the losses incurred by the industry in 2020 due to the COVID‑19 epidemic, China contnues to explode its air travel market. Moreover, the Chinese airlines were the fastest to restore the previous, «dock‑like» indicators. At this stage, the main problem of Chinese civil aviaton is saturaton of the market with aircraf of its own producton. Actng in cooperaton with Russia and other post‑Soviet countries, the PRC begins producton of its own models of civil aircraf and is thinking about promotng these products to foreign markets.

. In this artcle, an atempt has been made to reveal through the prism of Russia‑Ukrain military confrontaton the US intentons to create a global system of states subordinaton to its world dominaton. The example of Pakistan evidently shows Washington's intolerant attude to the independent foreign policy manifestatons of any country, which is at odds with their interests. And in the American arsenal there are various instruments for punishing "disobedient" states, including the removal of unsuitable governments.

In this paper the authors examine the stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the Russian special operaton in Ukraine, drawing on the analysis of the statements made by Ira‑ nian politcians and statesmen, media output and expert artcles. The Islamic Republic was concerned with the militarizaton of Ukraine, the possibility of its entry into NATO and furthering of this bloc towards Iran’s boarders. The country's leadership realized that the confict between Russia and Ukraine will impact the entre system of internatonal relatons. The launch of Russia’s special operaton induced varied reactons across the Iranian politcal and expert spectrum, revealing diferent foreign policy approaches among Iran’s major politcal factons. The official positon of the Iranian leadership could be described as «supportve neutrality». While the confict is blamed on the West, IRI’s top policymakers avoid open support towards Russia, and call for peaceful resoluton of the crisis. Only the members of ultra‑hardline establishment and those affiliated with the IRGC explicitly vindicate Russia’s strategy. The oppositon represented by reformists and centrists condemns Russia’s actons, critcizes Ira‑ nian authorites and calls for diversifcaton of the foreign policy line. In additon, the issue of IRI’s potental capacity to enter the European energy market is addressed. The analysis of the producton and export profle of the hydrocarbons indicates, that even in the event of early removal of the sanctons, Iran will not be able to take Russia’s share in the market.

The study is devoted to the consideraton of the positon and role of Turkey in relaton to the events in Ukraine. It is concluded that the Turkish leadership sees the realizaton of Tur‑ key's natonal interests in carrying out actve mediaton in the negotaton process between Rus‑ sia and Ukraine. From the point of view of the Turkish leadership, Turkey needs to maintain a balance in relatons, on the one hand, with Russia, and, on the other hand, with Ukraine and the West. Turkey's posi‑ ton can be characterized as «benevolent neutrality». Despite President Erdogan's desire to keep Turkey «equidistant» from both Russia and the West (at least in the case of the situaton in Ukraine), the current situaton seems unsustainable. The West (primarily represented by the United States) will contnue to push Turkey to take rash steps against Russia. The reason for this may be the escalaton of tension in Nagorno‑Karabakh or North‑ ern Syria. Another factor may be the 2023 electons in Turkey, as a result of which a pro‑Western government (coaliton) may come to power in the country.

The artcle atempts to look at the reacton observed in the media of the data of the two Arab states of the Persian Gulf regarding Russia's special operaton in Ukraine, as of early April 2022. Of partcular interest were also the opinions or actons of the leaders and officials of these states in relaton to the problem. However, they are very restrained and are represented in the media in an extremely limited volume. However, some artcles contain direct statements by officials of Saudi Ara‑ bia and the United Arab Emirates in this connecton. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the two largest economies in the Arab world. In additon, these two Arab states, in essence, act (in accordance with their existng capacites to increase oil producton), the so‑called «closing», that is, determining, oil suppliers to the world market and have an almost decisive impact on the state of the oil market and the volume of supplies. Today, notoriously, these issues are regulated within the framework of the OPEC+ Agreement, where these countries, along with Russia, also play a leading role.
GEORGE ROERICH’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE CREATION OF “THE TRANSCULTURAL SPACE” IN KALIMPONG IN THE 1950s
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Korablin Denis A.
Published: November 2022

The article was inspired by several diary entries, as well as some unpublished letters of George Roerich. In a letter dated February 25, 1949, upon arrival in Kalimpong, G. Roerich writes to D. Rani and S. Roerich that one of the two people meeting him in the city was Mr. Tarchin. The unpublished letters of George Roerich to the Tibetan D. Tarchin were found in the Archive of Dorje Tarchin (Columbia University, USA). The research of G. Roerich’s and his colleagues’ correspondence, as well as the analysis of the memoir and historical-biographical cycle of Buddhologists and orientalists living in Kalimpong at the same time with G. Roerich, together with various Himalayan periodicals publications, allow us to get an idea of the previously vague aspects of G. Roerich’s activities from 1950 to 1957: Those being his public lectures, exhibitions vernissages, participation in religious and national holidays, membership in various public organizations. George Roerich’s contribution to the shaping of the “transcultural space” can be determined not only due to his cultural, academic and educational activities aimed at consolidating the local community in Kalimpong, but also by creating prerequisites for the formation of intercultural dialogue underlying the Buddhist tradition.
An exploration of challenges affecting the Adoption of Information and communication Technologies (ICTs) by Government libraries in Kenya.
Authors: Ouma Cary Francis
Published: November 2022

In Kenya, many libraries have embraced the use of ICTs to leverage their services. While the extent of the use of ICTs in these libraries vary vastly, it is reported in literature that the use of these technologies are also faced by different challenges. Accordingly, this study sought to the key challenges affecting the adoption of ICTs by government libraries in Kenya under two objectives: to describe the challenges affecting the adoption of ICTs by government libraries in Kenya and recommend measures that should be taken to arrest the challenges. The study was informed by e-readiness model and guided by qualitative research methods. Twelve (12) libraries were selected purposively. Data was collected from the heads of selected libraries using interview method. Website and documentary analysis was also used to enhance data quality. Data presentation and analysis was done qualitatively, however this was simplified using figures and tables based on excel software. According to the findings, the adoption of ICTs by government libraries is affected by different managerial, financial, technological and staff related challenges. Based on these findings, the study recommended the formation of ICT committee at the department of government Library Services (GLS), enhancing internet access in libraries, adapting a standard system for government libraries, development of ICT policy for libraries and exploring alternative sources of funding by libraries
Detection of Biofilm Layers in Water Plumbings and Determination of its Effect on Water Quality

Published: November 2022

Water quality deteriorations in the plumbing are mainly resulted from accumulations and biofilm layer formation on the pipe surfaces. Biofilms may cause significant health risks on human health due to its pathogen content. In this study, biofilm formation on the plumbing, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in biofilms and their effects on water quality were examined by membrane filtration with dehydrated medium (NPS) method in 22 different buildings in a facility’s water network. A relation with biofilm formation and water quality deterioration with the age of the plumbing and the pipe material was also studied. The results were expressed as colony forming units (CFU). According to the results of the galvanized metal pipes, the average colony count was determined as >200 CFU/250 mL, average pathogen count was calculated as 107 CFU/250 mL and the highest deterioration in the water quality were observed. For the PE (Polyethylene) pipes, the average colony count was found as >200 CFU/250 mL and the average pathogen count was found as 145 CFU/250 mL. No physical and chemical changes in water quality were observed. For the PPRC (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipes, neither physical/chemical change in water quality nor pathogenic growth were observed. The total colony count was found as 34 CFU/250 mL. Biofilm formation was detected at 15 points in the network. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common detected pathogens in plumbing as 12 points from 22 buildings. The highest colony formation was Escherichia coli, which was detected in four of 22 plumbing as 600 CFU/250 mL colonies. It has been observed that more accumulations occurred in galvanized metal pipe surfaces, and microbiological growth was higher than PE and PPRC pipes.
