The growth and sustainable development of humanity is heavily dependent upon the process of fixing nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3). However, the currently adopted methods are associated with severe environmental hazards and tremendous energy costs, which limit their sustainability and profitability. Herein we discovered a catalyst-free disproportionation reaction of N2 by water dimer radical cation, (H2O)2+•, which occurs under mild ambient conditions via distinctive HONH-HNOH+• intermediate to yield economically valuable nitroxyl (HNO) and hydroxylamine (NH2OH) products, in alternative to NH3. Calculations suggest that the reaction is prompted by the coordination of electronically excited N2 with (H2O)2+• in its two-center-three-electron (2c-3e) configuration. Subsequent excited-state double proton transfer leads to one-step water addition to N2. The ambient fixation of N2 into HNO and NH2OH with high selectivity offers great profitability and total avoidance of polluting emissions, such as CO2 or NOy, thus giving an entirely new look and perspectives to the problem of green N2 fixation.

Published: May 2023

Autoxidation is a widely recognized mechanism known to initiate the degradation of food and lipids and modify organic matter in the atmosphere. Given the low NOx concentration in aqueous media (e.g., cloud water and fog droplets), autoxidation can become vital to facilitate the formation of highly oxygenated molecules such as organic peroxides (ROOH and ROOR). Here, we have identified aqueous-phase autoxidation-initiated hydroperoxides in varying organic precursors, including a laboratory model compound and monoterpene oxidation products. Our results show that autoxidation-initiated ROOHs are suppressed at enhanced precursor and oxidant concentrations. Furthermore, we observed an exponential increase in the yield of ROOHs when UV light with longer wavelengths was used in the experiment, comparing UVA, UVB, and UVC. Water-soluble organic compounds represent a significant fraction of ambient cloud water component (up to 500 µM. Thus, aqueous-phase autoxidation can become an important oxidation pathway for water-soluble species and as such facilitate the formation of ROOHs, thereby adding to the climate and health burden of atmospheric particulate matter.
Electrostatic Potential Maps on Molecular Surfaces Using Least Squares Reconstruction
Authors: fenley marcia , Boschitsch Alexander
Published: May 2023

Biomolecular surface electrostatic potential maps (EPMs) are routinely used to infer biological function, binding sites, and qualitative guidance (and subsequent quantitative assessment) of the geometric and electrostatic properties of receptor-drug complexes. A major challenge in Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) modeling and generation of EPMs is accurately accounting for the dielectric discontinuity at the molecular surface and associated jump in normal electrostatic field. One option for accommodating such solutions is to develop a surface conforming grid such that no element or mesh edge intersects the molecular surface. Given the complex shapes of biomolecules, unstructured tetrahedral grids are usually necessary to develop such grids. Here an alternate approach is presented that first develops an adaptive Cartesian grid with no attempt to align it with the molecular surface. Next each mesh edge that intersects the surface is processed by identifying the intersection point and then using a least squares-based reconstruction (LSR) method to estimate the surface potentials and their gradients. The LSR incorporates the analytical surface matching constraints, satisfies the PBE locally, accounts for surface curvature, and is combined with the finite difference scheme used at off-surface points to solve the PB equation. This results in a global set of equations that solves the governing equations at all interior and exterior points, and couples then at the edge intersection points. The LSR is implemented in the adaptive Cartesian grid PB solver (from herein called CPB) and applied to a variety of biomolecular systems ranging from small to very large-scale (e.g., viruses) assemblies to compute electrostatic energies, forces, and high-quality estimates of the surface EPM. Using LSR within CPB allows additional memory savings and proper visualization and rationalization of electrostatic complementarity/recognition features of protein-drug and nucleic acid-ligand complexes, with the latter requiring inclusion of nonlinear screening effects. In addition to detailing the LSR method, the article provides several recommendations for producing accurate, reliable, and reproducible biomolecular EPMs. The importance of performing grid convergence tests to ensure converged predictions is emphasized along with the need to properly account for nonlinear effects in highly charged systems and provide sufficient details of the biomolecular geometry, grid size, environmental conditions, and choice of contour levels to facilitate comparison against other EPM generation software.

INVESTING SAVINGS IN STOCKS DURING WARTIME
Authors: Maiboroda Alina
Published: May 2023

The crisis that began in the domestic economy with the beginning of the war in Ukraine showed that not only the economy of Ukraine was not ready for its consequences, but also the entire world economic system as a whole. Yes, almost every country in the world felt the increase in prices for products, electrical resources, etc., and the economy of the United States of America faced the highest level of inflation in the last 40 years.

The devaluation of the domestic currency, which could be restrained in the first few months of the war, is now gaining momentum. Therefore, the search for ways to save hryvnia savings of households is quite important and necessary.

Thus, in recent years, savings were most often directed to deposit accounts. As long as the deposits provided a return that covered the level of inflation, this type of financial operations could be considered stable and sufficient for keeping money in Ukraine, although it did not give a high return. Since the beginning of military operations in Ukraine, the level of inflation in Ukraine, according to official data, indicates 21.6% per year in 2022.

Thus, domestic households are forced to look for other, more effective financial instruments and operations that can offer a higher percentage of return.

The article examines the peculiarities of investing household savings in domestic and foreign securities. The most stable and reliable shares of leading corporations, which can ensure the preservation of monetary savings from depreciation, are considered.

Reducing the risk of postoperative complications and improving patients’ quality of life can be accomplished by appropriately employing pelvic peritoneal repair and sigmoid colostomy when appropriate. Objective: To compare fusion closure of pelvic peritoneum combined with extraperitoneal colostomy with non-closure of pelvic peritoneum combined with intraperitoneal colostomy in patients with low rectal cancer who had permanent colostomy. Methods: Low rectal cancer patients admitted to Hengshui People’s Hospital for permanent colostomy were evaluated. The participants were divided into two groups: an observation and a control group. All 30 cases in the observation group underwent pelvic peritoneum closure and extraperitoneal colostomy, while the other 30 cases in the control group underwent intraperitoneal colostomy. The C-reactive protein (CRP) levels of the participants in both groups were evaluated for 6 months to 2 years (24 h before, 24 h after, 48 h after, 96 h after surgery). Results: Comparing the colostomy operative time, time to  first passage of flatus postoperatively, time to first defecation postoperatively, length of hospital stay, laboratory indicators, stoma-related complications, colostomy function, etc., the colostomy operative time significantly differed between the two groups (P < 0.05); the observation group did considerably better than the control group in terms of stoma-related complications and bowel movement control 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05); and although serum CRP levels increased in both groups 48 h after surgery, the difference was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Extraperitoneal colostomy can improve the quality of life of patients with permanent stoma and reduce the occurrence of stoma-related complications. Thus, this technique is worthy of promotion in clinical practice.

Інтернет-тролінг як інструмент інформаційної війни
Authors: Запорожець Оксана
Published: May 2023

Стаття присвячена технології інтернет-тролінгу у контексті інформаційного протиборства. Актуальність теми дослідження зумовлена масштабністю використання акторами міжнародних відносин мережі Інтернет для маніпулювання громадською думкою на державному і міжнародному рівнях. Одним з сучасних трендів інформаційного протиборства є використання державами «фабрик тролів» для проведення пропагандистських і дезінформаційних кампаній, з метою досягнення певних політичних цілей.

У статті проаналізовано діяльність російської «фабрики тролів» під час президентських виборів у США 2016 і 2020 років. Метою статті є визначення особливостей інтернет-тролінгу як інструменту інформаційного протиборства. Показано, що дієвість інтернет-тролінга як технології інформаційно-психологічного впливу зумовлена такими його характеристиками, як маскування (мімікрія під місцевих жителів або громадські організації), таргетинг (вплив на конкретні цільові аудиторії та експлуатація їхніх вразливостей), провокативність (поширення повідомлень про актуальні і резонансні суспільні проблеми), гнучкість (зміна моделі поведінки і тактик залежно від ситуації та специфіки цільових аудиторій), багатопрофільність (ініціювання дискусій на різноманітні теми), дифузний характер впливу (децентралізоване поширення повідомлень нібито з різних, не пов’язаних між собою джерел), багатоканальність тощо. Маскування, таргетинг, провокативність повідомлень, децентралізоване поширення інформації дає змогу тролям привернути увагу інтернет-користувачів до їхнього контенту, здобути довіру цільових аудиторій та непомітно перетворити їх на провідників потрібних ідей. Інтернет-тролінг можна порівняти з диверсійними діями ворожої країни, які у певний момент часу набувають підтримки всередині країни-об’єкта впливу, і громадяни, не усвідомлюючи цього, починають підривати власне суспільство зсередини.

The analysis highlights the role of political instability, corruption, judicial reforms, and cultural factors in shaping the implementation of EU values, as well as the importance of civil society and EU engagement in promoting democratic reform. In particular, the article emphasizes the role of mentality in shaping public attitudes towards democracy and the rule of law. In particular, the article emphasizes the role of mentality in shaping public attitudes towards democracy and the rule of law. Overall, the article argues that successful implementation of EU values is crucial for the future of democracy and economic development in Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. And, that a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach is necessary to overcome the challenges that stand in the way. The Russian–Ukrainian war, which began in February 2022, has become a global challenge and a threat to the entire democratic concept of Europe. Today, it is clear that the military conflict in Ukraine is a fierce confrontation between democratic and traditional values. Accordingly, Ukraine’s victory will be a fundamental determinant in strengthening and developing European values in the region. That is why, realising this, the EU and most democratic countries are trying to support Ukraine in this struggle in every possible way.

Authors: Alijoyo Antonius , Kaho Victor Riwu
Published: May 2023

This study aims to understand how a pioneer Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) company in Indonesia strengthens its business resilience when facing uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  A qualitative research approach with the case study method is used where the primary data source is respondents, who are determined based on the purposive sampling method. Data collection and analysis were conducted using triangulation techniques by distributing questionnaires, structured interviews, and focus group discussions, which have helped discover that the pioneer BRT company is not fully prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic.  The company then decided to strengthen risk management capabilities by increasing risk management competencies that support decision-making in responding to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Risk leaders believe that strengthening risk capabilities can boost the company's resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and help it succeed in the new-normal era later. However, it is recommended that companies implement a business continuity management system based on the ISO 22301:2019 Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) standard as a systematic and comprehensive approach. The implication of implementing this standard is strengthening the company's readiness to deal effectively with risks of resilience and business continuity in the future.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of this research is to analyze the determinant factors of firm value during the COVID-19 pandemic and the role of dividend policy as a mediation variable. This study uses multiple linear regression and the Sobel test as a data analysis tool to measure dividend policy as a mediating variable between profitability, liquidity, free cash flow, leverage, company growth, investment opportunities, and company value during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study show that profitability, liquidity, free cash flow, leverage, company growth, and COVID-19 have an effect on dividend policy and company value. However, investment opportunities have no effect on dividend policy or firm value. While the results of the Sobel test showed interaction, this study found that dividend policy mediates the effect of profitability, liquidity, free cash flow, leverage, company growth, and COVID-19 on company value. This study expands on empirical evidence on the determinants of firm value in the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently reported to be inconclusive and fills a gap in the existing literature by focusing on the issue of the determinants of firm value in the context of dividend policy as a mediating variable in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Development of religious tourism in the tomb perspective intercultural communication
Authors: Tanjung Irwan Syari , Tanjung Hasrudy
Published: May 2023

The existence of religious tomb tourism has not fully received serious attention from the local government and community, as seen from the lack of tourism facilities and infrastructure such as accommodations, lack of accessibility, lack of promotion, low public awareness of the importance of developing religious tourism, and the lack of professional human resources causing low quality competence. The purpose of this research is to find out how to develop a religious tourism perspective from the perspective of intercultural communication. The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, interviews, and document research. The results of the study explain that the quality of human resources for the conscious tourism and tomb management groups is still low, not yet professional, or still traditional based on the perceptions of tomb visitors and observers of tourism and culture, but visitor interactions with conscious tourism groups and tomb managers with different cultural identities produce identity relationships that are similar in the sense of forming dynamic social relations between people who both have experience, adequate knowledge, a positive attitude.

Indications for Adjuvant (Chemo) Radiotherapy in Vulvar Cancer with Groin Lymph Node Metastases
Authors: der Velden Jacobus van , Tjiong Ming
Published: May 2023

Guidelines recommend adjuvant treatment when positive lymph nodes are found after surgical treatment for squamous cell cancer of the vulva except for cases with a single occult intranodal metastasis. Recent studies questioned these recommendations and showed benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy for all patients with positive nodes irrespective of number of nodes. However, these studies did not take into account important nodal characteristics, such as clinical node status, extranodal spread or size of the metastasis. When these variables are taken into account, adjuvant radiotherapy does not seem to result in a better survival for patients with a single occult intranodal metastasis. Whether the addition of chemotherapy to the radiotherapy for patients with more than one positive node or extracapsular spread results in a better survival remains uncertain. Only a few studies have been published on this subject and come to the conclusion that adding chemotherapy results in a better survival. The conclusion is that adjuvant radiotherapy improves survival of patients with positive groin nodes, with the exception of patients with a single intranodal metastasis. The beneficial effect of chemo radiotherapy for subgroups of patients with positive nodes seems likely, although more data are needed before a definite conclusion can be made

Secara alamiah bakteri dapat mengembangkan kemampuan untuk bertahan dari antibiotik yang sebelumnya efektif. Kondisi yang dikenal sebagai resistensi antibiotik ini terjadi semakin cepat karena penggunaan berlebihan, atau penyalahgunaan antibiotik. Resistensi antibiotik memiliki implikasi klinis dan ekonomi yang serius. Perilaku swamedikasi dengan antibiotik mempercepat terjadinya resistensi dan perilaku ini sering ditemukan di Indonesia. Faktor pengetahuan dan perilaku mencari pengobatan sendiri memengaruhi perilaku swamedikasi. Meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat, khususnya anak asuh di Panti Asuhan Patmos, Kota Mataram, mengenai bahaya resistensi antibiotik dan upaya pencegahannya. Pengetahuan yang benar diharapkan dapat membentuk perilaku bijak dalam penggunaan antibiotik. Edukasi disampaikan menggunakan video animasi berdurasi 4,5 menit. Video ini menjelaskan definisi antibiotik dan resistensi antibiotik; penyebab dan besarnya masalah; cara penggunaan antibiotik yang benar; cara penyebaran bakteri yang resisten; dan cara mencegah resistensi antibiotik. Dari 46 peserta kegiatan,  36 peserta mengisi pretes, 22 mengisi postes, dan 17 mengisi keduanya. Mayoritas peserta (91-100%) menjawab enam dari delapan pertanyaan dengan benar. Meski demikian, kurang dari 60% peserta yang mengetahui bahwa demam tidak selalu memerlukan antibiotik dan definisi resistensi antibiotik yang benar. Rerata skor pengetahuan sebelum (8,01) dan sesudah edukasi (8,24) tidak menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan secara statistik (p>0,05, uji Wilcoxon). Edukasi serupa di masa mendatang perlu lebih interaktif, meluruskan miskonsepsi mengenai penggunaan antibiotik pada demam, dan menjelaskan definisi resistensi antibiotik dengan akurat sehingga masyarakat memahami implikasinya terhadap risiko dan upaya bersama dalam mencegahnya. Tidak didapatkan peningkatan pengetahuan yang signifikan setelah menonton video edukasi. Kegiatan ini juga mengidentifikasi miskonsepsi yang perlu diluruskan pada edukasi selanjutnya.

Telang flower kombucha has been known to have pharmacological movement in vitro in repressing the development of microbes and organisms. Besides that, it also has the potential in vivo to inhibit cholesterol in livestock, so that it can be used or utilized as an active ingredient in drugs and cosmetics. In addition, allergy can cause immunity to tend to decrease due to the synthesis of immunoglobulin E protein, so this study aims to provide an initial picture for allergy sufferers through computational biotechnology or bioinformatics studies on the vitexin compound in tela flower kombucha to inhibit the formation of IgE as a cause of allergy based on its binding affinity value. The research method used was molecular docking and validation of the vitexin compound in butterfly pea flower kombucha in inhibiting IgE formation. The results of single point calculations and geometric optimization of the vitexin compound in butterfly pea flower kombucha were 2.99585 kcal/mol and 5.20442 kcal/mol respectively. The research results show that based on the binding affinity value of -7.1, vitexin contained in telang flower kombucha is able to inhibit the formation of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) as one of the causes of allergies.
