Authors: Korzyuk V. I. , Rudzko J. V.
Published: February 2025

For a one-dimensional semilinear wave equation with a free term that is a solution value at one given point (a Dirac potential), we consider the Cauchy problem in the upper half-plane. We construct the solution using the method of characteristics in implicit analytical form as a solution of some integral equations. The solvability of these equations, as well the smoothness of their solutions, is studied. For the problem in question, we prove the uniqueness of the solution, and establish the conditions under which its classical solution exists.
Potential of rhyzobacteria Azospirillum brasilense in respect of glyphosate detoxification and effect on productive status of plants
Authors: Lapa V. V. , Mikhailovskaya N. A. , Barashenko T. B.
Published: February 2025

Rhizosphere bacteria Azospirillum brasilense, saving in the collection of the Institute for Soil Science and Agrochemistry, were characterized as perspective plant inoculants in conditions of intensive application of herbicide glyphosate. Bacteria strains A. brasilense 2(в)3, A. brasilense Дп1 and A. brasilense 1’ were found to metabolized glyphosate without formating aminomethylphosphonic acid. Bacteria strains A. brasilense 2(в)3, A. brasilense Дп1 and A. brasilense 1’ are capable of glyphosate decomposition with the formation of safe chemical products – sarcosin (methylglycine) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). Destruction activities of A. brasilense strains were calculated on the base of accumulation of inorganic phosphate in culture liquids. Under a glyphosate concentration of 300 mg/l the destruction activities of А. brasilense 2(в)3, А. brasilense Дп1 and Azospirillum brasilense 1’ were equal to 80.9; 62.5 and 61.1 %; under a glyphosate content of 500 mg/l the destruction activities were equal to: 82.2; 48.5 and 47.9 % respectively. Application of glyphosate-utilizing bacteria as inoculants resulted in the polyfunctional anti-stress effect on plants at high diapason of glyphosate content in soil (0–50 l/ha). Anti-stress effect is manifested in a plant growth (steams and roots), an increase of assimilation square and chlorophylls content.

Currently, the search for relatively inexpensive raw materials from renewable plant resources to obtain activated carbons based on them remains relevant. The thermochemical destruction of various cellulose-containing plant materials has been studied: pine bark and sawdust, flax tow and cereal straw. The conditions for obtaining activated carbons from them using orthophosphoric acid as an activator have been determined. 68 % concentration of the orthophosphoric acid has been established to be the most optimal for obtaining activated carbons from plant materials by thermochemical activation. It has been shown that under the same conditions of thermochemical synthesis, the characteristics of activated carbons are determined by the chemical composition of the feedstock. According to low-temperature nitrogen adsorptiondesorption data, all the obtained activated carbons have a high specific surface area (1 290–1 380 m2/g) and at the same time contain at least 70 % mesopores with sizes greater than 2 nm and the adsorption capacity relative to methylene blue of 420–610 mg/g. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the method of thermochemical activation of plant materials by orthophosphoric acid makes it possible to obtain mesoporous carbons, which are essentially new sorbents exhibiting high efficiency in adsorption processes.

Authors: Eshchenko L. S. , Vorontsov R. A. , Blinov V. S.
Published: February 2025

The process of obtaining pigment materials in the FeSO4 – H2SO4 – CaCO3 – M – O2(air) – H2O system, where M is inorganic additive (Al2(SO4)3, H3PO4, H3BO3), using microwave and heat treatment, has been studied. The dependence of the degree of conversion of Fe (II) compounds on the process conditions and chemical composition of inorganic additive has been established. It is shown that the degree of conversion of Fe (II) compounds in the presence of Al2(SO4)3 under given conditions is 1.5–2.0 times higher than that for H3PO4 and H3BO3. The difference in the phase and dispersed composition of pigment materials obtained after microwave and heat treatment of the reaction mixture in the presence of Al2(SO4)3, H3PO4, H3BO3 is noted. It was found that the studied iron–calcium-containing produkts mainly contain a highly dispersed phase with a particle size of 0.1–10.0 microns, have pigment properties and are characterized by a rich red-brown color, the shades of which are influenced by the composition of the inorganic additive.

Published: February 2025

Post-COVID syndrome is diagnosed if symptoms last longer than 3 weeks after the onset of the disease,  and a chronic course of the disease is determined if symptoms persist for more than 12 weeks. The investigation considered patients’ complaints and the presence of infection in the oral cavity following COVID-19 and, based on this, evaluated the influence of distant symptoms on the risk of developing dental pathology. All subjects were interviewed using the most commonly used questionnaire OHIP-14, which determines the level of quality of life related to dental health. The most frequent complaint was a feeling of dryness in the oral cavity, which was reported by 30.04 % of the subjects (1.64 % in the control group). More than 24.90 % of patients who had COVID-19 noted loss of taste sensation (in the control group ‒ 1.64 %). Clinical oral examination of COVID-19 patients revealed such oral mucosal lesions as erythema, papules, vesicles, as well as periodontal and salivary gland disorders.
Analysis of the genetic structure of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, isolated from patients of the surgery and resuscitation departments of medical institutions in different regions of the Republic of Belarus
Authors: Yanovich O. O. , Titov L. P.
Published: February 2025

A. baumannii bacteria are gram-negative, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, non-fermenting coccobacilli that cause a wide range of local and systemic purulent-inflammatory processes. Genetic variants of bacteria that are highly resistant to antibiotics and cause healthcare-associated infections have acquired the greatest clinical significance. Multidrugresistant bacteria are widespread in medical institutions in different countries and pose a significant public health problem.

We studied 53 isolates of A. baumannii isolated from patients in intensive care wards and surgical departments. Molecular genetic methods – multilocus sequencing-typing and real-time PCR – established the spectrum of sequence types (ST) and clonal complexes (CC), as well as carriers of extended type beta-lactamase resistance genes, metallo-beta-lactamases and serine carbapenemase.

The isolates studied by the MLST method belonged to 4 clonal complexes: CC109, CC92, CC944 and CC110. The genetic structure of the dominant CC109 is represented by the following sequence types – ST2550, ST231, ST441. CC92 united ST168, ST450 and ST195. The minor CCs included CC944 and CC110.

The phylogenetic analysis has established that the ancestral ST of cluster I is ST229, evolving to form sequence types ST195, ST450, as well as ST2563 and ST1103. Cluster 2 is formed on the basis of ST2182 evolving with the formation of two branches ST2564 and ST441.

The analysis of the relationships between STs and CCs depending on the region of the country showed that isolates related to ST2550 (CC109) are more common in the Gomel, Mogilev, Minsk and Grodno regions, and ST231 (CC109) isolates are more common in the Vitebsk, Grodno and Mogilev regions.

The art of compromise: the founding of the National Gallery of British, Art, 1890-1892
Authors: Woodson-Boulton Amy
Published: February 2025

This article argues that the press played a key role in defining the Tate Gallery by facilitating a national debate about the siting, nature, and purpose of the proposed National Gallery of British Art. Art critics, politicians, journalists and a variety of newspaper editors weighed in on whether Britain should create a museum of modern art, a museum of national art, or both. The understanding of British art as quintessentially modern at the time of the founding of the Gallery meant that from the beginning the Tate Gallery was founded as both the National Gallery of British Art and a museum of modern art. The changing definition of modern art in the twentieth century, however, created fractures between these two identities that eventually led to the split between Tate Britain and Tate Modern.

Published: February 2025

With the widespread application of industrial X-ray inspection technology, ensuring the safety and health of operators has become a key issue. Due to its excellent radiation shielding performance, lead-steel structure is widely used in X-ray inspection rooms. This paper analyzes the application of lead-steel structures in industrial X-ray inspection rooms, particularly focusing on their advantages and challenges in radiation protection and monitoring. Firstly, the characteristics of lead-steel structures and their role in X-ray inspection rooms are introduced, emphasizing the necessity of protective design. Then, the basic requirements of radiation protection and monitoring, relevant regulations, and standards are discussed, along with the analysis of radiation monitoring equipment and methods. Finally, through data collection and analysis, the protective effect of lead-steel structures is evaluated, and the experimental results are discussed with suggestions for improvements. The study shows that lead-steel structures can effectively improve radiation protection performance in X-ray inspection rooms, but they still need optimization based on environmental requirements.
How Amplify Growth Risks for World Economies in China's Planned Economy
Authors: Yoshimori Masaaki
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the sustainability of China’s distinct globalization model, characterized by state-driven economic policies, strategic trade practices, and assertive global investments. Although this approach has fueled impressive economic growth over recent decades, it has also exposed structural vulnerabilities that could undermine long-term stability. The analysis employs a modified Cobb-Douglas production function, integrating critical factors such as tariff dynamics, trade spillovers, and inefficiency feedback loops. This framework bridges the theoretical foundations of the Cobb-Douglas model with insights from the Solow growth model, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of China's economic trajectory.
The model suggests that China’s heavy dependence on state intervention and export-driven growth risks creating inefficiencies that could lead to diminishing returns over time. High tariffs imposed by trade partners, particularly the US, exacerbate these inefficiencies by increasing production costs and reducing access to global markets. Furthermore, excessive reliance on Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) investments and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) amplifies the risks of resource misallocation and geopolitical backlash.
The paper identifies critical tipping points where inefficiency feedback loops outweigh productivity gains, potentially leading to economic stagnation or collapse. Trade spillovers, once a significant driver of innovation and growth, may dwindle as global partners diversify supply chains to reduce dependence on Chinese imports.
To ensure sustainable growth, the paper recommends a strategic pivot toward market-oriented reforms and addressing inefficiency feedback by reforming SOEs and streamlining regulatory frameworks. Additionally, capping overreliance on state-led globalization strategies and adopting a more balanced trade approach can mitigate external vulnerabilities. These policy measures are essential for China to transition from a high-growth phase to a more stable, long-term economic trajectory.
Healthcare – Where Law and Economics Fail Society – Needs the “Laboratory of Democracy”
Authors: Waldman Deane
Published: February 2025

In the U. S., legal structures as well as economic systems fail to provide people in society with accessible and affordable life-saving medical care. Other government-run national healthcare systems called single payers experience similar medical inadequacies and dollar inefficiencies though not the legal issues of the U.S.
Systems theory identifies the government command economy with third-party payment structure as the root cause of healthcare over-spending, variable quality, slow service, and death-by-queue.  
An effective solution for healthcare system failures derives from the root cause. To make healthcare affordable and accessibl: restore rule of law, remove third-party decision-making, and infuse free market forces. The U.S. could test this hypothesis if states became “laboratories of democracy.”
From Street to Elite: Analyzing Politeness Strategies in a Socially Divided Bronx in Vampires vs. The Bronx “The Italic Is Unnecessary”
Authors: Ismiyati Ida , Nababan M.R. , Santosa Riyadi , Wiratno Tri
Published: February 2025

This study aims to (1) identify the types of politeness strategies and speech acts used by characters in the film Vampires vs. the Bronx and (2) analyze how these strategies reflect the characters’ social class backgrounds. Using a qualitative descriptive approach within a single case study framework, the research examines linguistic data from the film’s dialogues. Data were selected through purposive sampling based on relevant criteria and collected via document analysis and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). Validity was ensured through triangulation of data sources and methods. The findings reveal that characters from lower social classes often use positive politeness strategies, marked by Black-English dialect greetings, particularly in directive speech acts. In contrast, characters from higher social classes frequently use off-record strategies, reflecting cunning and negative traits, predominantly in assertive and expressive speech acts. These results highlight the interplay between language use and social class distinctions, offering insights into power dynamics and social identity as depicted in media. This study contributes to sociolinguistic and media research by demonstrating how speech acts and politeness strategies can reflect broader societal structures and power relations.

Beyond glycemic control: semaglutide's multifaceted impact on metabolic health
Authors: Shaik Parveen  , Ajay Boddu  , Sharanya Narala
Published: February 2025

Achieving ideal glycemic control is essential for those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), as is avoiding hypoglycemia, controlling body weight, and lowering cardiovascular risk. A prospective treatment strategy that meets these demands is provided by agonists of the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 receptor. These drugs block glucagon secretion, slow stomach emptying, decrease appetite, and increase glucose-dependent insulin secretion, all of which help control weight and minimize the risk of hypoglycemic episodes. Furthermore, a number of GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown promising increase in renal and cardiovascular health. Patients might have a more convenient treatment regimen because they are accessible as weekly or daily injections. Furthermore, a lower risk of cardiovascular disease has been associated with some GLP-1 receptor agonists. According to recent studies, these substances may also have a number of neuroprotective advantages, such as increasing neurogenesis, lowering cell death, shielding neurons from oxidative stress, and lowering neuroinflammation in a range of neurological disorders. These substances are therefore being investigated as potential therapies for neurodegenerative illnesses like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

One thing that is visible is the diversity of religious concepts that occur in Indonesia, Jordan and Canada in the ﬁlm Ranah Tiga Warna. The phenomenon of diﬀerent religions was also revealed by Cliﬀord Geert when studying religion and culture in Indonesia and Morocco. Therefore, the author is interested in seeing further how the diversity of religious concepts is actualized in the ﬁlm Ranah Tiga Warna. The research uses a qualitative approach, with content analysis research methods (content analysis) after previously collecting data using documentation techniques, listening and taking notes. The research results found that there were diﬀerences in various expressions, including in behavior, religious symbols, and how to cover the private parts, especially for women.

For environmentally friendly and sustainable power generation, it is essential to maximize the penetration of renewable energy in energy management systems. In order to maximize the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid, this article suggests a two-stage energy management strategy. The methodology combines day-ahead and real-time energy management using stochastic optimization techniques to efficiently utilize renewable energy sources while maintaining grid stability and dependability. The goal of the first stage, or day-ahead, is to minimize operational costs. To this end, a framework for scenario generation, such as Monte Carlo simulation, is used to generate multiple scenarios that consider the uncertainties related to the generation of renewable energy, demand patterns, and external factors. These scenarios facilitate an in-depth assessment of the integration of renewable energy sources by representing a variety of potential future states of the energy system. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through case studies, showcasing its ability to increase renewable energy penetration in microgrid or grid-connected systems while maintaining reliability and cost-efficiency.

Authors: Meli Setianur  , Surahman
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze legal protection for consumers against the practice of selling subsidized LPG that exceeds the Highest Retail Price (HET) in Samarinda City. The study uses an empirical legal method with data obtained through interviews, observations, and questionnaires to the community, business actors, and related agencies. By using qualitative analysis, the data that has been obtained will then draw conclusions from this problem. The results of the study indicate that there are violations of HET that have an impact on consumers, especially from low-income groups. Although it has been regulated through the Decree of the Governor of East Kalimantan Number 500/K.572/2022 and Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection (UUPK), its implementation has not been effective. The obstacles faced include weak supervision, lack of human resources for supervisors, lack of public awareness of consumer rights, and legal loopholes in LPG distribution regulations. This study suggests the need to strengthen supervision, educate the public, and revise regulations to ensure that consumer protection can be realized optimally.

LEGAL PROTECTION FOR CONSUMERS REGARDING REGIONAL DRINKING WATER COMPANY (PDAM) SERVICES IN SAMARINDA CITY
Authors: Afrilia Intan Kurniati
Published: February 2025

This research intends to analyze legal protection for consumers regarding the services of the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) in Samarinda, which are often complained about, both in terms of quality and service continuity. In this context, the research evaluates consumer rights as required by Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection. Based on a juridical-empirical method, the approach used combines legal analysis with actual conditions in the real world. The findings show that although PDAM has made efforts to improve services through the establishment of water management installations and the expansion of the pipeline, there remains a lack of conformity among the services provided and the needs and expectations of consumers as per the applicable legal provisions. Complaints such as distribution disruptions, water quality not meeting standards, and slow complaint handling are the main issues.

Purpose: Morphological study of the spleen of white laboratory rats of the Wistar line when adding a mineral supplement based on chelate compounds to the feed. Materials and methods. The experiments were conducted on white male laboratory rats of the Wistar line weighing 200-250 g. “Chelavit C” was used as a mineral feed additive. After three months, the animals were euthanized using inhalation drugs combined with an overdose of anesthetic injection. Morphological analysis was performed on macro- and micropreparations of the spleen. For a general assessment of the histological organization of the spleen, hematoxylin and eosin staining was used. Iron accumulation in the spleen was assessed using Perls’ Prussian blue stain. Results. Differences in some of the main clinical and morphological parameters assessed on macroscopic specimens of the spleen of animals from the experimental and control groups were insignificant and were within the permissible physical and anatomical norm. Morphometric analysis of histological preparations of the spleen did not reveal differences between the groups; the indicators were within acceptable limits. Staining with Prussian blue according to Perls showed that the iron content in the spleen of animals in the experimental and control groups corresponds to normal values. Therefore, the used feed additive based on chelate compounds does not cause hemosiderosis, which can subsequently develop into hemochromatosis. Conclusion. A mineral feed supplement based on chelated compounds replenishes the loss of microelements without having a toxic effect on the spleen of rats. However, when administering this additive to animals, it is necessary to accurately calculate the dosage to avoid possible toxic effects.

Purpose: to study age-related changes in iron metabolism indices in Hanoverian mares.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the summer at a horse farm in the Tosnensky District of the Leningrad Region. For the study, 20 clinically healthy mares were selected, which were divided into 4 age groups of 5 horses each: the first group — 2—4 years old, the second — 5—10 years old, the third — 11—15 years old, the fourth — 16 years old and older. Blood was collected into vacutainer tubes for hematology with K3EDTA. The following parameters were determined in each sample: hemoglobin concentration (hemoglobin cyanide method using acetone cyanohydrin), serum iron content (determined using the ABRIS+ kit), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC, determined using the ABRIS+ kit), latent iron-binding capacity (LIBC, calculated value), transferrin content, transferrin saturation coefficient (TIC, calculated value), and erythrocyte concentration was counted using a counting chamber with a Goryaev grid. The reliability calculation was carried out using the Mann-Whitney criterion.

Results. When analyzing the obtained data, it was revealed that the average indicators, except for the transferrin saturation coefficient, are within the reference values. The transferrin saturation coefficient exceeds the permissible values by an average of 24,06 %. The highest values of this indicator are observed in animals aged 2—4 years (33,8 %). A reliable increase in the number of erythrocytes by 34,3 % was also established in the 2—4 years age group compared to the 5–10 years group (p<0,05). A significant increase in hemoglobin was noted in the group of horses aged 5-10 years by 16,4 % (p<0,05) compared to the group aged 2—4 years, which may be a consequence of the body reaching physiological maturity. The transferrin saturation coefficient was also significantly higher by 7,9 % in horses aged 2—4 years compared to the average for all ages (p<0,05). Horses in the 16-year-old and older age group have higher average serum iron, total serum iron-binding capacity, and latent serum iron-binding capacity than other groups of horses.
Dynamics of changes in the quantitative and functional parameters of leukocytes when mineral feed additives are introduced into the diet
Authors: Panova N. , Prigozhaya O.
Published: February 2025

Purpose: a comprehensive assessment of the effect of chelated forms of trace elements on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of leukocytes in combination with growth processes. Materials and methods. The experimental part was carried out on male laboratory rats. 2 homogeneous groups of 5 individuals were formed: experimental and control. The feed additive “Helamax C” was introduced to the main diet of the experimental group. The experiment was conducted in 3 stages. At each stage, body weight measurements were carried out, as well as blood sampling with subsequent examination of leukocytes (counting the absolute and relative number of leukocytes, building leukograms, as well as analysis of leukocyte indices). Blood was taken from the caudal vein. Leukocytes were counted according to the generally accepted method using the Goryaev camera. Leukograms were calculated at each stage of the experiment, after which leukocyte indices were calculated.

Results. At the end of the experiment, there was an increase in the total number of leukocytes from 5,95±0,12 G/l to 7,47± 0,32 G/l in the blood of rats against the background of the use of a mineral supplement. A decrease in the absolute number of rod-shaped neutrophils from 0,19±0,08 G/l to 0,11±0,04 G/l, with a simultaneous increase in the level of segmented neutrophils to 1,39±0,18 G/l. In the rats of the experimental group, the absolute number of lymphocytes in the blood increased from 4.94±0,07 G/l to 5,64±0,26 G/l. There was an increase in the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio index from 0,06±0,03 to 0,26±0,02 in individuals of the experimental group, as well as a decrease in the nuclear shift index from 0,32±0,09 to 0,08±0,03. The body weight of the experimental rats increased from 368,40±20,27 g to 534,40±13,74 g.

Conclusion. The introduction of mineral supplements into the diet helps to improve the quantitative and qualitative indicators of leukocytes, stimulating and regulating their formation, differentiation, functioning and apoptosis. In addition, minerals have a positive effect on the immune system, increasing the body's natural resistance. Together with the activation and regulation of metabolic processes, this leads to stimulation of body growth and an increase in body weight.
