Authors: Balbay Canan , Özak Hakan
Published: September 2024

Ailenin, tüm çocukların hayatında olduğu gibi özel yetenekli çocukların yetenek ve potansiyellerinin gelişiminde de kritik bir rolü vardır. Ebeveynler, özel yetenekli çocuklarının bireysel yeteneklerinin farkında olmalı ve onların kapasitelerini en üst düzeyde geliştirmelerine destek olabilmelidir. Çocuklarının yeteneklerini, ilgi alanlarını ve kapasitelerini en üst düzeye çıkarma sorumluluğu; onları dikkatlice gözlemleyerek, anlamaya çalışarak, doğru ve olumlu yönlendirmelerde bulunarak yerine getirilebilir. Bu çalışmada, özel yetenekli çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin çocuklarına yönelik farkındalık düzeylerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, nicel araştırma yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında Afat (2013) tarafından geliştirilen "Ebeveyn Farkındalıkları Ölçeği" ve bir kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, SPSS 26 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmaya 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılında çocukları Bandırma Bilim ve Sanat Merkezinde eğitim gören 155 ebeveyn katılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre ebeveyn farkındalıkları ölçeği alt puanlarının cinsiyet türü, eğitim düzeyi ve meslek değişkenine göre mükemmeliyetçilik, stres-çatışma ve motivasyon-başarı boyutunda anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların özel yetenekliler ile ilgili eğitime katılmaları, anne babanın birliktelik durumu, çocuk sayısı, yaşı ve aylık geliri değişkenlerinin farkındalık düzeylerinde bir farklılığa neden olmadığı görülmüştür. Araştırmaya katılan ebeveynlerin büyük çoğunluğunun farkındalık düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Özel yetenekli çocuklar gerektiğinde ve doğru destek sağlandığında tam potansiyellerini kullanarak daha da başarılı olabilmektedirler.
Extreme tourism in Azerbaijan: a thrilling adventure destination
Authors: Mirzayeva Ayan
Published: September 2024

Extreme tourism is the pinnacle of all tourism. When a person has already achieved a lot in overcoming obstacles found in mountain passes and rapids, a feeling immediately arises that something is missing, indicating that it is finally time to step over the line. Extreme is not a sport, it is a pleasure and an interesting pastime. Extreme tourism is a way of life! Rafting on turbulent rivers, skiing trips, diving into the depths of the oceans, and "soaring" in the clouds - this is what recreation looks like now, replacing the previous "beach-hotel" tourism.
Инновационная политика
Authors: Мехди Фарид
Published: September 2024

В начальных этапах формирования национальной инновационной системы государство может (возможно и должно) инвестировать огромные средства. В особенности они необходимы для создания таких грандиозных проектов, как промышленные кластеры, технопарки с необходимым оборудованием и т.д. Но эти инвестиции в основном должны быть направлены на инфраструктуру, в том числе образование и научно-исследовательские нужды. Это отнюдь не означает, что государство не должно заниматься предпринимательством и непосредственной инновационной деятельностью - для небольших стран, в которых местные, даже системообразующие, фирмы небольшие по сравнению с транснациональными гигантами, государственное предпринимательство может быть единственным выходом для развития национальной инновационной системы.

Authors: Atiq Muhammad
Published: September 2024

Talking about praise, then the problem cannot be separated from the greatness and excellence of a person. In Islam, giving praise for one's superiority is not prohibited, even the Prophet SAW. often also praise his friends. However, there are limitations that need to be considered, if praising will cause ujub and arrogance in the person being praised then this is prohibited in Islam. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the hadiths about the prohibition of praising, holistic studies, hadith messages, and their implementation in the Hafiz Indonesia competition organized by the RCTI program. The existence of a hadith regarding the prohibition of excessive praise should be applied in the program so that participants and their families who take part in the competition avoid being arrogant and arrogant.

Hadis sebagai sumber ajaran Islam kedua (the second texts) muatannya berisikan tentang doktrin, perintah, larangan, etika dan tuntunan kehidupan manusia. Semua itu terangkum dalam matan atau redaksi hadis. Agar isi teks sebuah hadis benar-benar dapat dipertanggungjawabkan sebagai argumentasi hukum maka sanad hadis yang menjadi barometernya. Kesahihan matan tidak mesti berbanding lurus dengan kesahihan sanad, keduanya tidak dapat dipisahkan, ibarat dua sisi mata uang kalau dihilangkan sisi satunya, maka uang tidak ada nilainya
Critical evaluation of the discrepancy between whole and refined foods: nutritional implications
Authors: Caro Roldán Miguel Ángel , Gómez Ramírez Briana Davahiva , Narváez Rivas Ana María
Published: September 2024

Background: Contemporary dietary guidelines increasingly promote whole foods due to their purported nutritional superiority, including essential micronutrients, phytochemicals, and dietary fiber. However, defining what constitutes whole grains and whole foods remains ambiguous, causing confusion among consumers and in the food industry. Inconsistencies in global definitions and regulations have resulted in discrepancies in labeling, making it difficult for consumers to make informed decisions. Aims: This review aims to elucidate the complexities surrounding whole foods, from their definitions to their nutritional impact. By examining global regulations and conducting a comparative analysis of whole and refined products, this study seeks to provide insights into the nutritional composition of these foods and their implications for consumer health. Methods: An exhaustive literature review was conducted to gather information on definitions, regulations, and the nutritional composition of whole grains and whole foods. Sources included bibliographic databases, international organizations, and technical reports. Additionally, nutritional composition analyses of commercial cereal-based products were performed, comparing nutritional label data with the United States Department of Agriculture food composition table. Results: Significant discrepancies in the definition and regulation of whole grains and whole foods worldwide were identified. Despite their perceived nutritional benefits, whole products exhibited comparable nutritional profiles, including fiber content, to refined counterparts. Variations in labeling practices and nutrient composition were observed across different countries and organizations. Conclusion: This study highlights the complexity and inconsistencies surrounding the definition and regulation of whole foods. Although often perceived as healthier options, the findings suggest that they do not always offer significant nutritional advantages over refined products, especially in terms of fiber content. Standardizing definitions and improving labeling practices are crucial steps to ensure that whole foods meet consumer expectations and contribute to healthier dietary choices.

EDUCAÇÃO DEMOCRÁTICA E DESMOCRATIZAÇÃO: O ATAQUE NEOCONSERVADOR ÀS POLÍTICAS DE GÊNERO NO BRASIL
Authors: Furlin Neiva
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo visa refletir acerca do impacto da ampliação das forças neoconservadoras e neoliberais na estrutura do Estado, sobretudo nas políticas educacionais voltadas à igualdade de gênero e ao reconhecimento das diversidades. Busca-se articular as noções de neoconservadorismo, desmocratização, evidenciando ações conservadoras no campo educacional, como resultado da ofensiva antigênero, impactando diretamente nos princípios da educação democrática. Trata-se um ensaio teórico-reflexivo que articula concepções teóricas do neoconservadorismo, do feminismo e dos estudos de gênero.  É possível evidenciar um contexto de desmocratização e de retrocesso no cenário educativo, em que a supressão e o silenciamento das questões de gênero nas políticas educacionais afeta a garantia de direitos humanos e, consequentemente, enfraquece a democracia.
Prevalence of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Ergonomic Risk Assessment Among the Grocery Store Workers
Authors: Shah Manav , Patil Priti
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries or disorders affecting muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are significantly influenced by the work environment and performance, often exacerbated by job conditions. WMSDs affect various body parts associated with movement, including upper and lower limbs and the back, caused or aggravated by work activities. Factors like joint positions, repetitive motions, and high static muscle loads contribute to these issues. Grocery store workers, particularly those involved in manual labor and repetitive tasks, have a high incidence of WMSDs, with prevalent complaints of lower back, knee, and upper extremity pain.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 96 participants aged 18-50, working a minimum of 5 hours daily with at least one year of experience in material handling. Exclusions were made for those receiving treatment for musculoskeletal diseases, with deformities, degenerative conditions, unwilling participants, or cash register workers. Data collection included the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) in Hindi and photographs of participants in their most attended work postures. The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was used to evaluate ergonomic risks.
Results: The study found a high prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort among grocery store workers, particularly in the lower back, knees, neck, and ankles. The number of working years which shows that 50% of the population lies in the range of 1-5 years followed by 30.02% in 6-10 Years. The number of working hours which shows that 42.7% of subjects work for 6-7 hours and 20.83% for 9-10 hours. The REBA scores indicated that 42.7% of participants were at high risk (scores 8-10), 38.54% at medium risk (scores 4-7), and 14.5% at very high risk (scores 11-15), necessitating immediate ergonomic interventions.
Conclusion: Grocery store workers are at a high risk of developing WMSDs, with significant discomfort in the lower back, knees, ankles, and neck. Limitations include lack of segregation among working patterns, and not considering rest intervals or BMI. Future research should focus on intervention studies, segregating working patterns, and advising preventive measures to mitigate these risks.

Authors: Kanchan Pawar , Vaibhav Sudrik , Bhumika Datir , Shital Manchare
Published: September 2024

This comprehensive review explores the current state of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccination, emphasizing the developmental progress, potential benefits, challenges, and future directions. Drawing insights from scientific literature, ongoing clinical trials, and health organizations, the review crititically assesses the effectiveness and safety of RSV vaccine candidates. Key themes include the prevention of RSV infections, the reduction of illness severity, challenges in age-specific considerations, and the role of herd immunity. As several vaccine candidates approach regulatory approval, this review provides recommendations for targeted vaccination strategies, international collaboration, and robust surveillance systems. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading global cause of respiratory infections in infants and the second most frequent cause of death during the first year of life. This highly contagious seasonal virus is responsible for approximately 3 million hospitalizations and 120,000 deaths annually among children under the age of 5 years. Bronchiolitis is the most common severe manifestation; however, RSV infections are associated with an increased long-term risk for recurring wheezing and the development of asthma. There is an unmet need for new agents and a universal strategy to prevent RSV infections starting at the time of birth.
Bioremediation of Chromium contamination by Aspergillus and Rhizopus
Authors: Jaiswal Sadhana
Published: September 2024

Rapid industrialization and human activities, including the unregulated use of agrochemicals, fossil fuel combustion, and sewage sludge disposal, have led to significant contamination of soils and waterways with heavy metals. These metals are non-biodegradable and persist in the environment, necessitating remediation to prevent their leaching or movement into other environmental segments and to enable their extraction. Heavy metal pollution is becoming more prevalent over time, reducing the potential for healthy food production from natural resources. These metals are usually toxic, leading to various abnormalities in plants, animals, and humans. Toxic heavy metal ions include chromium ions, particularly hexavalent ions (Cr(VI)) produced by various industrial processes like metallurgy, petroleum refractory, electroplating, mineral extraction, tanning factories, textile, paper pulp, etc. reached in to water bodies can cause detrimental effects on aquatic life, plants, microorganisms, and humans. Although chromium (Cr) (VI) is recognized as a dangerous form, it can be bioremediated by living cells to become (Cr) (III), which is less harmful. As Chromium (Cr) (VI) is known as an hazardous form it can be reduced to (Cr) (III) through bioremediation by living cells which is less toxic, In this study, we investigated the efficiency of biosorption of chromium by chromium tolerent fungi Aspergillus and Rhizopus isolated from soil of industrial area of Raipur city.

Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are one of the dangerous vectors that spread many life-threatening diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, filariasis, encephalitis, West Nile Virus infection etc. To control these vectors, many chemical pesticides or insecticides are available in the market but recent works confirmed that these are actually very harmful to environment. It is also revealed that the mosquitoes are increasing their resistance power against these pesticides or insecticides. So, there has been growing interest in the use of extracts of medicinal plant parts as alternatives to insecticides or pesticides due to their biodegradability and adaptability to environmental as well as health conditions.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing in India, with a total of 2.7 lakh cases in 2019. IBD includes two categories of chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Both conditions cause severe morbidity to individuals and increase the risk of GI tract cancers. Long-term use of conventional synthetic drugs like corticosteroids has significant adverse effects. Patients increasingly choose to adopt plant-derived products as an alternative or complementary medicine (CAM). In India, since ancient times, plant products have been used to treat and prevent numerous digestive tract ailments. Here, we have mentioned recent research highlights of eight commonly utilized plants (Curcuma longa, Zingiber officinale, Allium sativum, Boswellia serrata, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Garcinia cambogia, Aloe vera, and Punica granatum) and their bioactive compounds used to treat IBD in both model systems and clinical trials. Many of the bioactive compounds mentioned in this article can target different drivers behind IBD pathology. Phytochemicals can modulate immune cell subsets, enhance gut epithelium regeneration, and improve gut microbiome homeostasis to inhibit aberrant immune response and promote gut barrier function leading to remission of IBD. Evidence from clinical trials indicates that these plant-derived products are safe to use, but efficacy varies depending on the nature of the preparation of the phytochemicals. New developments in targeted delivery and better absorption promise exciting advances for phytochemicals in IBD treatment.

The greenhouse phyllosphere microbiome and associations with introduced bumblebees and predatory mites
Authors: Legein Marie
Published: September 2024

Greenhouses are highly productive environments in which conditions are regulated to optimize plant growth. The enclosed character of greenhouses usually results in reduced microbial diversity, while it is known that a diverse microbiome is important for plant health. Therefore, we explored the phyllosphere microbiome of tomatoes and strawberries grown in greenhouses. We observed that the microbiome of both crops was low in diversity and abundance, and varied considerably over time and space. Interestingly, the core taxa of tomatoes were Snodgrasella and Gilliamella, genera typically associated with bumblebees. The same amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were found on reared bumblebees, indicating that bumblebees, present in the sampled greenhouses to pollinate flowers, had introduced and dispersed these bacteria in greenhouses. Overall, we found that 80% of plants contained bumblebee-associated taxa, and on these plants, bumblebee-associated reads accounted up to a quarter of reads on tomatoes and a tenth of reads on strawberries. Furthermore, predatory mites had been introduced for the control of spider mites. Their microbiome was composed of a diverse set of bacteria, which varied between batches ordered at different times. Still, identical ASVs were found on mites and crops and these belonged to the genera Sphingomonas, Staphylococcus, Methylobacterium and Pseudomonas. These new insights should now be further explored and utilized to diversify these ecosystems that are characterized by low diversity and abundancy of microbes.
Recurrent hybridization mediated range expansion and climate change resilience in two keystone species of boreal forests
Authors: Karunarathne Piyal
Published: September 2024

The ongoing global climate change poses a significant threat to biodiversity across various levels, potentially resulting in substantial biodiversity loss. Numerous studies have demonstrated the impact of specific genetic loci on allele distribution within a species' range, correlating with local environmental factors and reflecting instances of local adaptation. However, leveraging this data alone to predict species' adaptation to climate change remains a complex challenge. In this study, we utilized exome capture sequences alongside environmental niche reconstruction to evaluate diverse methodologies for gauging local adaptation and climate resilience in two widely distributed conifers: Norway spruce and Siberian spruce. These species, crucial to the boreal forest ecosystem, share an expansive hybrid zone. Our findings highlight the detectability of local adaptation in conifers through variations in allele frequencies, population-level ecological preferences, and historical niche shifts. Furthermore, through the integration of genetic and ecological data, we unveiled the pivotal role of hybridization in broadening the niche range of these conifers. This process may potentially enhance their ability to adapt to future climate changes. This combined genetic and ecological analysis also pinpointed genetically isolated populations at risk due to ongoing climate changes, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation efforts.
Expanding the human gut microbiome atlas of Africa
Authors: Maghini Dylan
Published: September 2024

Population studies are crucial in understanding the complex interplay between the gut microbiome and geographical, lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors. However, populations from low- and middle-income countries, which represent ∼84% of the world population, have been excluded from large-scale gut microbiome research. Here, we present the AWI-Gen 2 Microbiome Project, a cross-sectional gut microbiome study sampling 1,803 women from Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. By intensively engaging with communities that range from rural and horticultural to urban informal settlements and post-industrial, we capture population diversity that represents a far greater breadth of the world’s population. Using shotgun metagenomic sequencing, we find that study site explains substantially more microbial variation than disease status. We identify taxa with strong geographic and lifestyle associations, including loss of Treponema and Cryptobacteroides species and gain of Bifidobacterium species in urban populations. We uncover a wealth of prokaryotic and viral novelty, including 1,005 new bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes, and identify phylogeography signatures in Treponema succinifaciens. Finally, we find a microbiome signature of HIV infection that is defined by several taxa not previously associated with HIV, including Dysosmobacter welbionis and Enterocloster sp. This study represents the largest population-representative survey of gut metagenomes of African individuals to date, and paired with extensive clinical biomarkers, demographic data, and lifestyle information, provides extensive opportunity for microbiome-related discovery and research.

curatedMetagenomicData 3 allows meta-analysis of 22,710 human metagenomes in relation with host phenotype and health-outcomes and defines an oral to gut microbial introgression score
Authors: Manghi Paolo
Published: September 2024

Publicly available microbiome data have become of sufficient scope for meta-analysis on a range of phenotypes, conditions, and health-related outcomes. This led to unprecedented results that were made possible thanks to the effort of integration of multiple microbiome cohorts. The wide-spread exploitation of public metagenomic dataset is however hampered by the lack of accessibility and standardization that are barriers to their use. To allow fast and convenient acquisition and harmonization of public microbiome data, we have developed curatedMetagenomicData (cMD) 3, an R/Biocoductor data-package deploying 22,710 publicly available human metagenomic samples from 94 cohorts and 42 countries. Samples in cMD 3 are uniformly profiled via the bioBakery 3 softwares MetaPhlAn 3 and HUMAnN 3.0, respectively for the taxonomic and the functional potential profiling. In addition, cMD 3 provides sample- and subject-related manually curated clinical and technical attributes organised in a coded vocabulary, allowing the easy retrieval and re-usage of microbiome datasets. In this resource paper, we present cMD 3. We use it to address several challenges in the current human microbiome epidemiology, with greater sample size and diversity of populations than previously possible. Via random-effects meta-analysis we identify species and metabolic features associated with sex (102 taxa, 15 Metacyc pathways, and 226 KEGG-Orthologs, Q lower than 0.01), age (91 taxa and 1,991 functions, Q lower than 0.01) or BMI (195 taxa and 1,018 functions, Q lower than 0.01). We investigate cross-disease, cross-cohort (15 diseases, 30 cohorts) species-level and pathway-level associations (34 species and 215 pathways, Q lower than 0.01). We then use the oral samples available through cMD 3 to define a simple “oral to gut introgression” score that can be easily calculated in any fecal sample as the summed relative abundance of 305 species identified from 425 oral metagenomes. This score is more frequently elevated than decreased in diseases (27 of 30 studies, P = 8.4 x 10-6, binomial test), representing a quantitative index of deviation from health-associated microbiome configurations. Together these analyses show the potential of the novel cMD 3, assessing the relationship between human microbiome and basic and clinical host outcomes and identifying modest but widely shared variation in human microbiomes that will serve as a reproducible and readily updatable reference.
aMeta: a computational method for data-driven ancient metagenomic analysis
Authors: Oskolkov Nikolay
Published: September 2024

Analysis of microbial data from archaeological samples is a growing field with great potential for understanding ancient environments, lifestyles, and diseases. However, high error rates have been a challenge in ancient metagenomics, and the availability of computational frameworks that meet the demands of the field is limited. Here, we propose aMeta [1], an accurate metagenomic profiling workflow for ancient DNA designed to minimize the amount of false discoveries and computer memory requirements. Using simulated data, we benchmark aMeta against a current state-of-the-art workflow and demonstrate its superiority in microbial detection and authentication, as well as substantially lower usage of computer memory.

A systematic review of gut microbiota composition in observational studies of major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
Authors: McGuinness Amelia
Published: September 2024

The emerging understanding of gut microbiota as ‘metabolic machinery’ influencing many aspects of physiology has gained substantial attention in the field of psychiatry. This is largely due to the many overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms associated with both the potential functionality of the gut microbiota and the biological mechanisms thought to be underpinning mental disorders. In this systematic review, we synthesised the current literature investigating differences in gut microbiota composition in people with the major psychiatric disorders, major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ), compared to ‘healthy’ controls. We also explored gut microbiota composition across disorders in an attempt to elucidate potential commonalities in the microbial signatures associated with these mental disorders. Following the PRISMA guidelines, databases were searched from inception through to December 2021. We identified 44 studies (including a total of 2510 psychiatric cases and 2407 controls) that met inclusion criteria, of which 24 investigated gut microbiota composition in MDD, seven investigated gut microbiota composition in BD, and 15 investigated gut microbiota composition in SZ. Our syntheses provide no strong evidence for a difference in the number or distribution (α-diversity) of bacteria in those with a mental disorder compared to controls. However, studies were relatively consistent in reporting differences in overall community composition (β-diversity) in people with and without mental disorders. Our syntheses also identified specific bacterial taxa commonly associated with mental disorders, including lower levels of bacterial genera that produce short-chain fatty acids (e.g. butyrate), higher levels of lactic acid- producing bacteria, and higher levels of bacteria associated with glutamate and GABA metabolism. We also observed substantial heterogeneity across studies with regards to methodologies and reporting. Further prospective and experimental research using new tools and robust guidelines hold promise for improving our understanding of the role of the gut microbiota in mental and brain health and the development of interventions based on modification of gut microbiota.

A universal growth trajectory of a 3D mechano-hydraulic model for plant cells
Authors: Ramakanth Karthikbabu Kannivadi
Published: September 2024

Growth is fundamental to many biological processes. Recently, we showed that cellular turgor pressure is highly heterogeneous in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) of Arabidopsis thaliana, balanced by mechanical and hydraulic parameters. We developed a 3D physical model of a single plant cell with classical mechanical and hydraulic properties, and recovered a typical, nonlinear growth trajectory. Depending on initial size, cells spontaneously go through consecutive phases of accelerating-then-decelerating growth separated by a critical cell size defined by the mechano-hydraulic balance and cell geometry. To test this model, we tracked long growth trajectories of Arabidopsis SAM cells treated with oryzalin, which blocks cell division but permeates continuous growth, and recovered the predicted growth trajectory using our 3D image analysis pipeline. Our theoretical and experimental analyses suggest that plant cells may follow a universal trajectory to autoregulate growth, which could potentially be applicable to other tissues and organisms.
Rare transmission of commensal and pathogenic bacteria in the gut microbiome of hospitalized adults
Authors: Siranosian Benjamin
Published: September 2024

Bacterial bloodstream infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Although previous research has demonstrated that pathogenic organisms may translocate from the gut microbiome into the bloodstream to cause infections, the mechanisms by which HCT patients acquire pathogens in their microbiome have not yet been described. We hypothesized that patient-patient transmission may be responsible for pathogens colonizing the microbiome of HCT patients, and that patients who share time and space in the hospital are more likely to share bacterial strains.

Here, we used linked-read and short-read metagenomic sequencing to analyze 401 stool samples collected from 149 adults undergoing HCT and hospitalized in the same unit over a period of three years. We used metagenomic assembly and strain-specific comparison methods to investigate transmission of gut microbiota between individuals. While transmission of pathogens was found to be rare, we did observe four pairs of patients who harbor identical or nearly identical E. faecium strains in their microbiome. These strains may be the result of transmission between patients who shared a room and bathroom, acquisition from a common source in the hospital or transmission from an unsampled source.

We also observed identical Akkermansia muciniphila and Hungatella hathewayi strains in two pairs of patients. In both cases, the patients were roommates for at least one day, the strain was absent in the putative recipient’s microbiome prior to the period of roommate overlap and the putative recipient had a microbiome perturbed by antibiotic treatment for a bloodstream infection. Finally, we identified multiple patients who acquired identical strains of several species commonly found in commercial probiotics and dairy products, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus gasseri and Streptococcus thermophilus. Overall, the limited amount of putative transmission observed indicates that current infection control and contact precautions are successful in preventing interpersonal exchange of microbes. However, the potential transmission of commensal microbes with immunomodulatory properties raises interesting questions about the recovery of microbiome diversity after HCT, and indicates that patients in this setting may acquire new microbes by sharing space with others.
Partial thermal acclimation of photosynthetic heat tolerance in tropical trees
Authors: Manzi Olivier Jean Leonce
Published: September 2024

Climate warming increases the risk of harmful leaf temperatures in terrestrial plants, causing heat stress and loss of productivity. Heat sensitivity may be particularly high in tropical tree species adapted to a thermally stable climate. Heat tolerance thresholds of photosynthetic reactions were investigated in sun-exposed leaves of 12 tropical montane tree species with different growth and water-use strategies. Chlorophyll a fluorescence, leaf gas exchange, leaf morphology and lipid composition were measured at three common gardens along an elevation and temperature gradient. Photosynthetic heat tolerance partially acclimated to increased growth temperature; on average 0.31°C increase in heat tolerance per 1°C increase in growth temperature. Consequently, thermal safety margins were narrower for species at the warmer, lower-elevation sites. Moreover, although tree species with traits that predispose them to higher leaf temperatures (low stomatal conductance and big leaves) had higher photosynthetic heat tolerance, their thermal safety margins were smaller. Heat tolerance and its acclimation were linked to the adjustment of fatty acid composition and membrane fluidity. Our results suggest that tropical trees have some capacity to thermally acclimate to increasing temperatures, but not strong enough to prevent increased heat stress in a warming climate.
COOPERATIVE STRATEGY OF IMAGE-BUILDING IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN CONVERSATIONAL DISCOURSE
Authors: IVANOU A.
Published: September 2024

The article discusses tactics of image-building as a cooperative strategy in English and Russian conversational discourse. The strategy in question is realized through its two variants – self-presentation and enhancing the status of the communicative partner. The tactics of self-presentation are as follows: positive and negative self-characterization, appealing to the third party’s opinion and self-irony, whereas enhancing the status of the communicative partner is actualized through the tactics of interlocutor’s positive characterization, engagement demonstration, appealing to the interlocutor’s expertise and change of the topic. The differences in tactics usage can be explained through linguoculture.

FORMS OF EXPRESSION OF THE AXIOLOGICAL CRISIS IN E. HEMINGWAY’S NOVEL «THE SUN ALSO RISES (FIESTA)»
Authors: KONTARAU V.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the features of the poetics of the novel “The Sun Also Rises”, whose purpose is the artistic expression of the axiological crisis in E. Hemingway’s work. It is pointed out that the novel contains a system of literary devices that explicitly and implicitly express a feeling of life dissatisfaction. The axiologically relevant motifs of “loss”, “compensation,” and “avoidance of thinking about traumatic experiences” perform a plot-forming function, which means that they indicate that value issues are key in the work.
THE GENRE FEATURES OF AN ECOLOGICAL NOVEL
Authors: KRYSHTOP I.
Published: September 2024

The article deals with issues of genre interaction which is typical for the literary process at the turn of XX–XXI centuries and is caused by changing historical reality, as well reflects the formation of a new type of artistic consciousness. It is established that as a result of the actualization of environmental issues the novel genre is also undergoing changes. An ecological novel is a work the ideas and content of which are formed by the author's perception of the existing and/or possible relations of man with the environment and the processes taking place in it, i. e. the writer’s aesthetic reflection on the problem of environmental preservation is presented. ethical attitudes of the author, his value and behavioral orientations in relation to nature are focused on. The important characteristic of an ecological novel is the combination of properties of several genre varieties to achieve the communicative goal.
