Background and Purpose: Scedosporium spp. is a saprophytic fungus that may cause invasive pulmonary infection due to the aspiration of contaminated water in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent hosts.
Case report: Herein, we report a fatal case of pulmonary infection caused by Scedosporium species associated with a car crash and near-drowning in a sewage canal.Scedosporium aurantiacum isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage was identified by PCR-sequencing of β-tubulin genes. The minimum inhibitory concentration values for amphotericin B, itraconazole, posaconazole, isavuconazole were >16 µg/ml, and >8 µg/ml for anidulafungin, micafungin, and caspofungin. Voriconazole was found to be the most active agent with a MIC of 1 µg/ml.
Conclusion: This report, as the first case of pulmonary scedosporiosis after near-drowning in Iran, highlights the importance of high suspicion in near-drowning victims, prompt identification of Scedosporium spp., and early initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy.

Influences of the pre-chamber orifices on the combustion behavior in a constant volume chamber simulating pre-chamber type medium-speed gas engines
Authors: Wakasugi Takuya , Tsuru Daisuke , Tashima Hiroshi
Published: April 2022

The study aims to clarify the influence of pre-chamber (PC) configurations on the combustion process in the main chamber (MC) of medium-speed spark-ignition gas engines equipped with an active PC. A constant volume combustion chamber was prepared to simulate the chamber configurations of the gas engines. A high-speed shadowgraph was applied to visualize the torch flame development and the combustion process in the MC. Experiments were done by changing the charged gas in the MC, the number, and the diameter of the PC orifices. Combustion was most accelerated when the PC orifice configuration was set appropriately so that the adjacent torch flames would combine with each other. It was also found that the unburned mixture in the PC, which ejected prior to the torch flame, supported the penetration of the torch flame.
Preparing students for educational work with schoolchildren
Authors:   Yaroslavl state pedagogical university named after К. D. Ushinsky, Kharisova Inga G.
Published: April 2022

The implementation of educational functions by a teacher is an important direction of his professional activity. The purpose of the article is to consider the possibilities of preparing students for educational work with rural schoolchildren during their studies at a pedagogical university. Its implementation is associated with the solution of a number of tasks: identifying the features of the functioning of schools in rural areas that affect the organization of educational activities with students; determining the key grounds for working with future rural teachers; designing components of a model that can be integrated into the main professional educational program to ensure targeted preparation of students for the education of students in a rural educational organization. The analysis of literature and experience in the training of teachers for the village allowed us to identify the features of the school, among the most significant, directly affecting the solutions of educational tasks can be attributed: a small, multi-age team, an expanded range of activities of the teacher within the framework of the implementation of educational functions, limited opportunities for social contacts and personal development of students in rural society. The key positions defining approaches to the activities of university teachers aimed at preparing future rural teachers for educational work are related to the selection of content that reveals its features, the definition of effective formats for its development, the identification of the specifics of solving educational tasks within the framework of educational and extracurricular activities of rural schoolchildren. The model of preparing students for educational work provides for the implementation of four components: target (goals and objectives of working with future specialists, determined on the basis of universal pedagogical competencies relevant to educational activities), content (informational, functional and technical aspects of training), technological (formats for the implementation of the main content components), effective (indicators of graduates' readiness for educational work, forms of control and evaluation of their manifestations).
A review on levels of polychlorinated naphthalenes in matrices with emphasis on knowledge and research gaps priorities in Africa
Authors: Nevondo Vhodaho , Okonkwo Okechukwu Jonathan
Published: April 2022

Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) were listed as Persistent organic pollutants in the Stockholm Convention, in May 2015, because of their adverse health and environmental effects. PCNs production began in the early 1900s when they were used extensively in several consumer goods as fire retardants. However, because of their health and environmental implications, the production and use of PCNs chemicals were voluntarily banned in many countries in the 1970s and 1980s. However, PCNs are still detected in different environmental samples including air, water, sediments, soil, indoor dust, biota, consumer products, human diet, blood and serum today, as a result of their historical use and unintentional production. Thus, PCNs can be released into the environment throughout their life cycle. It becomes, therefore, crucial to monitor them in different environmental compartments. To date, about 163 reports on PCNs levels in several matrices have been published in different parts of the world. It was reported that toxic PCNs such as chloronaphthalenes 66, 67 and 73 are prevalent in most samples; thus, there is a need to continuously monitor these congeners in our environment. However, there are sparse studies related to PCNs levels, not only in consumer products, leachates and sediment samples from landfill sites in Africa but also in other matrices, leaving a huge research gap that must be prioritized. To date, only about 3 studies on PCNs have been published in Africa, bearing in mind that there is no documented evidence of any known production of PCNs in the continent. Thus, a wide research gap in PCNs studies still exists in Africa. There is an urgent need, therefore, to conduct studies and establish robust PCNs inventories in Africa. The present review examines the existing knowledge on PCNs levels and trends in Africa, and identifies research gaps that ought to be addressed so that the scale of PCNs distribution in the global environment can be known.

Authors: Chen qianrun , Shi Jiayan , Ruan Danhua , Bian ce
Published: April 2022

Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles derived from the endosomal system and
involved in multitudinous biological and pathological processes.
Emerging evidence has demonstrated that exosomes are closely related to
the tumorigenesis and progression of ovarian cancer. Ovarian
cancer-related exosomes have cell-specific constituents that could be
leveraged for diagnosis. Additionally, exosomes are promising to treat
ovarian cancer through functioning as delivery systems or participating
in immunotherapy or serving as direct targets. In this review, we
discussed the association of exosomes in ovarian cancer progression and
look forward to the clinical significance of exosomes relevant to
diagnosis and treatment.

The Proton Sponge: a Trick to Enter Cells the Viruses Did Not Exploit
Authors: Behr Jean-Paul
Published: April 2022

Several non-permanent polycations possessing substantial buffering capacity below physiological pH, such as lipopolyamines and polyethylenimines, are efficient transfection agents per se, i.e. without the addition of lysosomotropic bases, or cell targeting, or membrane disruption agents. These vectors have been shown to deliver genes as well as oligonucleotides both in vitro and in vivo. Our hypothesis is that their efficiency relies on extensive endosome swelling and rupture that provides an escape mechanism for the polycation/DNA particles.

Published: April 2022

Creativity and leisure are two closely related factors of human life. However, the change in the angle of analysis of «creativity» as a new professional and economic phenomenon has created a gap between creative and leisure processes. In today’s crisis realities, the creative sector faces practical difficulties. The answer to the current challenges of the creative class can be found by referring to the fundamental leisure concepts, which long before the emergence of the paradigm of the «creative era» predicted and recorded the most important trends in the functioning of modern society. Analysis of the ideas of «civilization of leisure», «knowledge society», «bohemian bourgeois», «creative class», etc. reveals the basic, but neglected in practice, principles of civilizational progress based on creativity, which become the basis for creating a new format for the functioning of creative industries, presented in this work.

Facilitation and interference are asymmetric in holistic face processing
Authors: Jin Haiyang , Ji Luyan , Cheung Olivia S. , Hayward William
Published: April 2022

A hallmark of face specificity is holistic processing. It is typically measured by paradigms such as the part-whole and composite tasks. However, these tasks show little evidence for common variance, so a comprehensive account of holistic processing remains elusive. One aspect that varies between tasks is whether they measure facilitation or interference from holistic processing. In this study, we examined facilitation and interference in a single paradigm to determine the way in which they manifest during a face perception task. Using congruent and incongruent trials in the complete composite face task, we found that these two aspects are asymmetrically influenced by the location and cueing probabilities of the target facial half, suggesting that they may operate somewhat independently. We argue that distinguishing facilitation and interference has the potential to disentangle mixed findings from different popular paradigms measuring holistic processing in one unified framework.
SELECTION OF INDICATORS OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND MARKETING ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT OF NON-MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES
Authors: Chinara Kochariyeva
Published: April 2022

In contrast to the study of marketing management in manufacturing enterprises, great attention is paid to the quality management system in non-manufacturing enterprises (trade and paid services, tourism and catering, transport and construction), taking into account the marketing approach. As an integral part of the management system of the enterprise, its system of marketing activities, from the point of view of quality management, requires the same approaches to the organization of the process as the system itself. Because if the same requirements are not applied to the quality management in each element of the system, it is difficult to organize a completely quality management process. Therefore, when analyzing marketing activities from the point of view of the quality of management, it is necessary to study the second approach. The first approach involves studying the marketing process as an integral part of enterprise quality management. The second approach envisages the study of the quality of the management of the marketing process itself, guided by the principles, methods, functions and approaches to the quality management of the enterprise as a whole. By studying quality management in the context of marketing activities, it can be defined as a system of methods, tools and types of activities aimed at meeting the quality requirements and expectations of the process itself and its products. For this reason, it is possible to note the quality management of the process itself and the quality management of the product of the process.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES - AN OVERVIEW OF THE UNDERPINNING CONCEPTS
Authors: Siddhartha Paul Tiwari
Published: April 2022

Among the essential elements of knowledge management is the use of information and data, as well as the knowledge, skills, and abilities inherent within communities, as well as their ideas, commitments, and motivations for making good decisions as emerging technologies become more prevalent. Numerous leading social scientists in this field have asserted that organizational knowledge should be regarded as a strategic asset. There is a growing awareness of the importance of gathering, locating, capturing, and sharing collective knowledge and expertise of societies, and societies are urged to develop effective and efficient methods of gathering, locating, capturing, and sharing that knowledge in order to deal with problems and to benefit from opportunities. People living in many countries and regions are interested in implementing knowledge management processes and technologies, and many of them have included knowledge management as an integral part of their overall development strategies. The management of knowledge plays an increasingly important role in global economic development (Bell, 1973, 1978). In order to remain relevant in the modern world, organizations should not ignore knowledge management and emerging technologies.
Spanish urban policy in the New World on the example of Mexico City, the country's colonial metropolis
Authors:   Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Science., Selivanova Irina
Published: April 2022

This article analyzes the history of the Mexico City, the capital of the vice-kingdom of New Spain since its foundation until the end of the colonial period. The author focuses on the main principles of urban pol-icy in the colonies, city plans, development and transformation of the city throughout the colonial history. Conquering the local population and moving across the territory of Mexico, the Spanish conquistadors not only conquered existing settlements, but also founded their own fortresses and outposts, attaching exceptional importance to the con-struction of cities on the territory of colonial possessions. New Spanish cities in America were used by the conquistadors as strongholds for fur-ther colonization and economic development of subordinate territories. The appearance of Spanish cities, their fortifications, Catholic churches were supposed to inspire the Indians with reverence and fear of the con-querors. The urbanization of the New World proceeded as an important link in the process of conquest and development of new territories by the Spanish conquistadors. The future metropolis of New Spain, Mexi-co City, was located on the site of the main Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The idea to found a city on the site of the Indian Tenochtitlan belonged to E. Cortes. The plan of the city of Mexico belonged to the famous Spanish architect Garcia Bravo. By the beginning of the XIX century. Mexico City grew, expanded, the city had 335 streets, 146 lanes, 12 blocks, 90 large and small squares. The rapid development of the city of Mexico City was interrupted by the events of the War of Independ-ence, the destruction of which had to be liquidated in the first quarter of the 19th century.
Экономика первого франкизма 1939–1959 гг.
Authors:   Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Science., Filatov Georgy
Published: April 2022

Francoism in the initial period of its existence focused on building a self-sufficient economic system. The policy pur-sued by the fascist countries, primarily Italy, was taken as a model. This choice was due not only to the ideological close-ness and assistance that these states provided to the Fran-coists during the civil war, but also to objective factors. The World War II limited international trade, and afterwards Spain was in international isolation. Under these conditions, the main task was to reduce dependence on imports. To do this, the government actively intervened in the economy, setting prices and controlling the distribution of resources. The re-sults of the first decade were modest, some of the worst among non-belligerent countries in Europe. In the 1950s the policy was adjusted: control over the economy was relaxed, equipment purchases abroad were more active. This allowed for significant growth. The growing trade deficit was covered by US loans, as well as tourism income. Nevertheless, the basic principles of the autarkic policy persisted, which led to a severe economic crisis in the late 1950s.

Health is one of the needs of the society to be able to carry out activities in daily life. The high public need for health makes the provision of drug stocks being an important aspect for every health service, one of which is the Public Health. To find out how many drugs are received, the Public Health conducts a data collection on the drug stock that is carried out. However, the Public Health could not determine the exact amount of drug stock needed so that some drugs expired due to excess drug stock. With these problems, an analysis using the Backpropagation method was carried out to predict how much drug stock was needed. The purpose of this study is to ensure that the stock of drugs that enter the Public Health is in accordance with the needs of the Public Health so that it can reduce the expired of the drugs. For analysis using the Backpropagation Method, there are two processes used, namely: with the training process to find new weights which will later be used in the second process, namely the testing process. testing is only carried out on the forward propagation process.

Purpose: To confirm that the phaco chop method using an illuminated chopper (iChopper; Oculight, Seongnam, Korea) can reduce cataract surgery complications, and that even beginners can safely and effectively perform phaco chop.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of the first 30 phaco chop cases using illuminated chopper of four cataract surgeons. Four ophthalmologists had a variety of empirical backgrounds, from those who have experienced more than 10,000 cataract surgery, to beginners who have experienced 20 cataract surgery.Results: Of the total 120 eyes, two eyes (1.67%) had posterior capsule rupture. The chopping method was changed from phaco chop to stop and chop in three eyes (2.5%) including one eye with brown cataract with pseudoexofoliation syndrome and two eyes with nuclear opacity grade ≥5.Conclusions: The rates of posterior capsule rupture of phaco chop using an illuminated chopper were very low in four surgeons with various experiences and who became proficient shortly in phaco chop.

Numerous scientific studies, as well as practical experience in public health, have determined that proper and timely diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy often determines obstetric and perinatal outcomes, and affects maternal and perinatal mortality rates. Urinary tract infections are common, with a prevalence in pregnancy ranging from 8 to 10%. During pregnancy and delivery, patients with UTIs can develop a number of complications such as anaemia, spontaneous miscarriage, preeclampsia, fetoplacental insufficiency, premature delivery and postpartum septic complications. UTIs also have adverse effects on the fetus, causing fetal hypoxia, delayed intrauterine development and intrauterine infection. Prenatal screening for UTIs is included in the standard of care for pregnant women throughout the world and in some countries, women are screened more than once. Such early diagnosis for asymptomatic bacteriuria is thought to reduce obstetric, perinatal and urological complications by up to a factor of five. However, in some European countries, the socioeconomic feasibility of routine screening of pregnant women for asymptomatic bacteriuria has recently been raised.

Aim. To analyze the efficiency of the use of inosit in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women of reproductive age.

Materials and methods. The prospective study included 80 patients aged 21 to 35 years with a diagnosis of PCOS. The main group consisted of 45 women who were prescribed inosit and lifestyle modification to correct symptoms of PCOS. The control group consisted of 35 women for whom was recommended only lifestyle modification. The condition of the patients was assessed at the beginning of therapy, after 3 and 6 months.

Results. During therapy, the patients of the main group showed a statistically significant effect of inosit on metabolic status: a decrease in fasting glucose and insulin levels, body mass index; hormonal status: a decrease in the level of androstenedione, testosterone, LH, normalization of the LH/FSH, a decrease in the clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism; restored menstrual cycle with ovulation

Conclusions. The use of inosit along with a balanced diet and physical activity is an effective means for correcting clinical manifestations and improving the quality of life of women with PCOS.

Published: April 2022

In this report the thermochemical conversion of Sm2O3 to SmCl3 using AlCl3 in LiCl-KCl melt at 773 K is discussed. The final product was a mixture of SmCl3, Al2O3, unreacted Sm2O3 and AlCl3 in the chloride melt. The electrochemical attributes of the mixture was analyzed with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The crystallographic phases of the mixture were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The major chemical conversion was optimized by varying the effective parameters, such as concentrations of AlCl3, duration of reaction and the amount of LiCl-KCl salt. The extent of conversion and qualitative assessment of efficiency of the present protocol were evaluated with fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) studies of the mixture. Thus, a critical assessment of the thermochemical conversion efficiency was accomplished by analysing the amount of SmCl3 in LiCl-KCl melt. In the process, a conversion efficiency of 95% was achieved by doubling the stoichiometric requirement of AlCl3 in 50 g of LiCl-KCl salt. The conversion reaction was found to be very fast as the reaction reached equilibrium in 15 min.

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is a disorder which has conditions that may contribute to the developmental defects of enamel (DDE) etiologies. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of DDE among children with DS. Methods: This study cross-sectional observational study examined a total of 88 children with DS and 87 healthy children. A modified DDE index for screening surveys was employed in this regard. Demarcated opacities, diffuse opacities, dysplasia, and combinations between types were recorded, and finally, data were analyzed by chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests using SPSS software. Results: The prevalence of enamel defects in DS and control groups was obtained as 45% and 34%, respectively, with no statistically significant differences between the groups (P=0.139). The mean number of teeth with DDE was 2.48±3.79 and 1.09±2.11 in the DS and control groups, respectively. Based on the results, statistically significant differences were found between DDE means (P=0.009). Demarcated opacities were the most frequent type of enamel defects in both groups. Eventually, a statistically significant relationship was observed between diffuse opacities and DS (P=0.000). Conclusions: In general, DS had no influence on DDE prevalence; however, it increases affected dental units. Diffuse opacities are more frequent among children with DS compared to healthy children. Further studies are required on the DDE prevalence in Syria.
