Authors: Shabolkina E. N. , Shevchenko S. N. , Anisimkina N. V.
Published: December 2022

In order to improve the biological value of bakery products and consumer properties of new products, there are used the technological additives and functional ingredients, which include bioactivated hulless oats. The purpose of the current work was to estimate the physical, rheological, baking parameters of the dough mixtures obtained by mixing oat flour (wholemeal flour from bioactivated grain) with high-quality premium wheat flour according to the farinographic results and baking analysis. There has been experimentally established that the indicators characterizing the behavior of the dough varied depending on the type of ingredients (wholemeal grain before and after bioactivation) and the proportion of oat processing products (10, 20 %) in the composite mixtures. Dough resistance has de­creased on 3.0–7.0 min to wheat flour, valorigraphic estimation at 19–40 u.v. and dough dilution increases significant on 60–160 u.f. The physical properties of the dough when used in mixtures of bioactivated grains slightly have dete­riorated compared to non-bioactivated grains: dough resistance and valorigraphic estimation reduced on 0.5–1.0 min and 1–7 u.v., respectively, except for the dough dilution, which improved on 22.0–29.0 %. These processes can be explained by the very high amylolytic activity of the grain after germination. During the trials, there was found an ad­vantage in the general baking assessment in the options using bioactivated oat grain, even though the farinograph recorded a slight deterioration in the physical parameters of the dough. Volume yield was 425–625 cm3 (420–563 cm3 with non-bioactivated grain) and a baking assessment of 2.6–4.4 points versus 2.7–4.3 points. Volume yield increase and baking quality improvement in this case can be explained by the effect of the compensation ability of the mixing strength of wheat. The studied hulless oat varieties ‘Baget’ and ‘Bekas’ in comparison with the chaffy variety ‘Konkur’ in mixtures have shown the best values characterizing the physical properties of the dough and baking quality. They possess better advantage in dough resistance on 1.0–3.0 min., dough dilution on 10–40 u.f. and valorigraphic estimation on 4–17 u.v. They produced 625 cm3 of maximum volume yield, their baking assessment was 4.4 and the tendency remains the same after bioactivation of oat grain.

Development of drought-tolerant spring barley varieties is one of the important breeding directions for resistance to abiotic stress factors. In order to solve this problem successfully, it is necessary to use in hybridization the varieties and lines with the highest tolerance. The main purpose of the current study was to estimate the effect of osmotic stress of different concentrations on seed germination and to evaluate the relative drought tolerance of spring barley varieties and lines. The study was carried out in the laboratory for plant physiology in 2018–2020. The estimation of drought tolerance of spring barley samples was carried out on 26 varieties and lines, bred in the ARC “Donskoy”, in the initial period of development. The laboratory experiments on the ability of spring barley seeds to germinate on a sucrose solution (imitation of a lack of moisture in the soil) make it possible to estimate drought tolerance of samples at the early stages of their development. There was studied an effect of a sucrose solution with an osmotic pressure of 3, 8, 10, 12, 14 atmospheres on the ability of seed germination. When increasing a concentration of the solution, there was a seed germination decrease in all genotypes. As a result of the study, there were the largest statistically significant differences (P > 0.95) of the samples under the concentration of the osmotic sucrose solution of 8 atmospheres, in comparison with the options of 3, 10, 12 and 14 atmospheres. There have been obtained the data on the relative drought tolerance of spring barley varieties and lines. The maximum indicators of seed germination under osmotic pressure of 8 atmospheres were registered among the samples ‘Zernogradsky 1716’ (91.1 %), ‘Zernogradsky 1717’ (85.9 %), ‘Zernogradsky 1719’ (84, 1%), ‘12545/18’ (80.2 %), ‘Zernogradsky 1701’ (78.9 %), ‘12551/18’ (72.9%), ‘12487/18’ (72.4%), ‘Zernogradsky 1724’ (70.6 %), ‘Zernogradsky 1721’ (69.8 %), ‘12525/18’ (69.2 %) in comparison with the standard variety ‘Ratnik’ (43.6 %). The identified samples can be used for further study of drought tolerance in the field.

The study of grain quality at all stages of a variety development, starting with the selection of parental pairs, is the most important condition for the efficiency of breeding. The purpose of the current paper was to estimate winter wheat samples according to the main criteria of grain quality and to select promising ones for further use in the breeding process. The study was carried out in 2019–2021. There were studied new varieties and promising lines of winter bread wheat from the main Competitive Variety Testing, according to green manure fallow. Criteria characterizing grain quality were determined in the laboratory conditions in accordance with methodology and GOSTs. Based on the conducted study, there were identified sources that were characterized by a high severity of grain quality traits. According to ‘grain unit’, there were distinguished such varieties as ‘Matritsa’, ‘Rubin Dona’ and the lines ‘1043/17’ and ‘1582/166’. According to the general kernel hardness there were identified such samples as ‘Matritsa’, ‘Priazovie’ and the line ‘1582/16’. The samples and lines ‘Ermak’, ‘Razdolie’, ‘Rubin Dona’, ‘Matritsa’, ‘Priazovie’, ‘1582/16’, ‘1043/17’, ‘1295/18’, ‘1431/18’, ‘1463/18’, ‘1518/18’, ‘1612/18’ and ‘1895/18’ corresponded to good quality according to SDS-sedimentation. The sample ‘1463/18’ was characterized by a high protein percentage in grain (15.02 %). There were also studied a quantity and quality of gluten, falling number and baking properties. The varieties ‘Rubin Dona’, ‘Matritsa’, ‘Priazovie’ and the lines ‘1582/16’, ‘1463/18’ were characterized by the best expression of the studied traits of quality. These genotypes can be used in the breeding process as sources of high protein and gluten percentage in grain and good baking properties.

Published: December 2022

In the extreme climatic conditions of the steppe area of the Saratov region, one of the primary factors in improving alfalfa productivity are the new highly productive and adaptive varieties. The purpose of the current study was to identify the most promising populations according to feed productivity for the development of new highly productive alfalfa varieties in the conditions of the Trans-Volga area in the Saratov region. The zoned blue alfalfa variety ‘Yuzen’ was used as the standard variety. The variety was included in the State List in 2006 for the Middle Volga and Lower Volga regions. The plot of the Competitive Variety Testing was sown in the spring with the SKS-6-10 seeder in wide rows with a 70 cm of row spacing in six repetitions. The plots were two-row, with an area of 18 m2. Green mass productivity was accounted from the plot (t/ha) in the period ‘bud formation-early bloom’ in the first and subsequent cuttings by hand, in two repetitions per 1 m2 of plot. On average, the amount of productivity of the studied samples was 20.3–23.1 t/ha. The population 6/14 showed the smallest productivity (20.3 t/ha). The largest productivity increase was produced by the populations 7/16, 5/12 and the new variety ‘Virineya’. They exceeded productivity of the standard variety on 1.6–2.2 t/ha. The rest populations also slightly exceeded productivity of the standard variety on 0.2–0.3 t/ha. The maximum productivity of feed units was found in the population 7/16, 1/07 and the variety ‘Virineya’ and it amounted to 4.6–4.9 f.u., t/ha. The minimum one was established in the population 5/08 (4.1 f.u., t/ha). According to crude protein percentage, on average during 2 years of the study, the maximum indicator was shown by the population 5/08, which was on 5.50 more than that of the standard variety.

Published: December 2022

Drought is a significant abiotic stress factor for agricultural crops, including rice, as freshwater shortage is increasing in the world. The current paper has presented the results of laboratory trials to study the effect of solutions with high osmotic pressure on the ability of seeds to germinate and on the growth of rice sprouts. The purpose of the study was to estimate rice varieties and samples for drought resistance at the initial stages of ontogenesis using osmotic agents. The objects of the study were 67 rice varieties and samples from the VIR, the FRC of Rice and the ARC “Donskoy”. Seeds were germinated in a thermostat on filter paper in Petri dishes in 8, 12, and 16 atm sucrose solutions. As a result of the study, there was found that the best option was rice seeds’ germination in a sucrose solution of 8 atmospheres, in which the samples varied significantly in germination, length of sprouts and roots, both in the trial and in the control. Seed germination on the control was 96.6 %, and in the trial, it significantly decreased to 60.9 %, varying from 20 to 100 %. There were 50.8 % of samples with germination from 60–80 %. At the same time, 4.5 % of the samples were isolated with a germination rate of more than 80 % in the trial. In the trial, a sprout length among the samples varied from 0.2 to 1.4 cm. There were identified 13.5 % of the samples, which had a sprout length more than 1 cm. According to the ratio of a sprout length in the trial to the control, the samples were distributed asymmetri­cally, there were more samples with a low ratio, however, there were identified 4.5% of samples with a maximum O/K ratio (35–40 %). In the trial, aroot length ranged from 0.1 to 4 cm. The frequency distribution was asymmetric, there were 61.2 % samples with a very short root, up to 1 cm. The O/K ratio according to a root was right-sided asymmetric, 74.6 % of the samples had a low ratio from 0 to 15%. There were identified 3 % of samples with the ratio of more than 50 %. They were No. 39 (ZULK 1) and No. 50 (ZULK 12). These samples are used in the breeding process to develop drought-tolerant rice varieties.

The high requirements imposed by modern pasta processing enterprises on the grain quality of both spring and winter Triticum durum dictate the necessity to develop new methods, approaches for estimating breeding material and selecting high-quality genotypes. Correlation analysis, which makes it possible to identify practically positive and negative factors, minimize the most unfavorable ones, accelerate, and increase the efficiency of the breeding process, is one of them.

The purpose of the current work was to study the correlation between quality traits of winter durum wheat and to determine the most accessible and informative ones as selection criteria in the breeding process.

The field and laboratory (determination of grain quality parameters, rheological properties of dough and pasta) study was carried out on the basis of the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”, from 2014 to 2020. The material for the study were the varieties and lines of Competitive Variety Testing (n = 35).

There have been presented the analysis results of a correlation between quality traits of kernels, hard semolina, pasta of winter durum wheat. There have been identified the most accessible, informative and significant traits, such as protein percentage, gluten quality (GDI), alpha-amylase (FN) activity, which have a decisive effect on the strength, cooking properties of pasta, rheological properties of the dough, which can be used as selection criteria in the breeding process, including at the early stages. Thus, protein percentage has positively correlated with pasta strength (r = 0.73), dough durability and elasticity (r = 0.86 and r = 0.61), valorimetric estimation (r = 0.55); GDI and FN have correlated with pasta strength (r = 0.69 and r = 0.57), durability (r = 0.92 and r = 0.57), elasticity (r = 0.75 and r = 0.50). The cor­relation between cooking properties of pasta and the above-mentioned traits was negative (positive correlation): digestibility by weight and volume with protein percentage (r = –0.60 and r = –0.71), GDI (r = –0.49 and r = 0.47), FN (r = –0.48 and r = –0.56), dry matter losses, respectively, r = –0.87, r =–0.85, r = –0.78. The content of carotenoids and the color of pasta are characterized with a mean positive correlation (r = 0.46). There has been found that informatively significant quality traits (protein, GDI, FN, carotenoids) are positively correlated with each other from moderate (protein with carotenoids r = 0.36) to strong (protein with FN r = 0.94) links, but negatively with such important parameters for winter durum wheat as 1000-kernel weight and grain unit. Therefore, when selecting breeding forms and lines with increased values of the main traits, it is necessary to control 1000-kernel weight and grain unit, or at least one of them.

Published: December 2022

The current paper has presented the results of study conducted at the Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” in 2019–2021. The winter bread wheat variety ‘Lidiya’ was taken as the object of study. The forecrop was sunflower. In the variants where it was planned to yield 5.0; 6.0 and 7.0 t/ha, there were used mineral fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, ammophos and potassium salt) in doses (mean through the years) of N66P66K43, N79P79K52 and N92P92K61, respectively. In the control variant, there were used on fertilizers. The purpose of the study was to find out the possibility obtaining the planned winter wheat grain productivity in the southern part of the Rostov region under the use of mineral fertilizers. The amount of precipitation during the agricultural year and a vegetation period of winter wheat was 520.3 and 431.6 mm, while the norm was 582.4 and 446.3 mm, respectively. Depending on the hydrothermal conditions, the sum of air humidity deficits from September to June varied from 1034.1 to 1278.2 mm over the years, and water need for plants ranged from 672.2 to 830.8 mm. The coefficients of precipitation and moisture availability for winter wheat were in the range of 0.53–0.67 over the years. The hydrothermal conditions during the years of study determined win­ter wheat moisture supply during a vegetation period and contributed to obtaining grain productivity of different levels. Under the prevailing hydrothermal conditions, it was not possible to obtain the planned productivity of the winter bread wheat variety ‘Lidiya’. However, all applied doses of mineral fertilizers were cost-effective and there were obtained a significant yield increase of 1.28–2.03 t/ha (the yield on the control was 3.52 t/ha). There has been recommended to take into account the conditions of moisture supply in the cultivation zone when planning productivity and effective use of mineral fertilizers.

Authors: Ignatiev A. S. , Krivosheev G. Ya. , Lupinoga D. R.
Published: December 2022

A waxy maize variety differs from other varieties, as its grain contains only amylopectin starch, which is considered a very valuable product for use in food, technical industry, and medicine. An insufficient amount of initial material hinders the development of Russian waxy maize hybrids. The purpose of the current study was to develop and select self-pollinated lines that could be promising for breeding waxy starchy maize hybrids. The study was carried out in the FSBSI Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy” in 2019–2021. As the initial material there were used 54 new constant self-pollinated waxy maize lines, developed by the standard method. There have been identified such self-pollinated lines as 24/5, 24/18, 24/29(5), 24/78, 25/2(3), 26/8 with 68.1–70.2 % of amylopectin starch. The new lines were characterized by high values of the most important traits, namely seed productivity (0.91–1.75 t/ha), resistance to lodging (0–0.6 % of lodging plants), smut ‘virus’ infection (0–3.6 % of infected plants), low and medium harvesting moisture content of grain (14.7–16.3 %). The identified lines can be recommended for use in crossbreeding programs to develop new waxy maize hybrids. There has been established that amylopectin starch percentage in grain of self-pollinated maize lines negatively correlates with protein percentage (r = –0.55) and oil (r = –0.29), which must be taken into account when selecting for initial material. There has been established a mean positive correlation between starch percentage and seed productivity (r = 0.33) and number of cobs per 1 plant (r = 0.33). The selection of genotypes with high values of these traits has been recommended when developing a starchy initial material of waxy maize.
Time Kept and Lost: On the Complexity of the Thematization of Old Age in Wolfgang Hildesheimer’sMonolog
Authors: Querido Pedro
Published: December 2022

This essay proposes to reassess the importance of Wolfgang Hildesheimer’s radio work Monolog (first broadcast in 1964) in the German writer’s oeuvre by studying its manifold and complex thematization of old age. The protagonist’s self-imposed solitude and yearning for disembodiment are interpreted in the light of theories of aging that are based on both chronometric and “lived” time. This close reading of old age in Monolog duly takes into account the medium for which it was written and is informed by both Hildesheimer’s previous radio art and his evolving world view.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is primarily to explore the nature of intangible assets by testing their empirical relationship with the earnings of large Turkish listed companies over a twenty-year period spanning from 1998 to 2017. This period relates to a number of substantial occurrences including Turkey’s convergence to IFRS and global financial crises. Dynamic panel data results reveal that the effect of intangible assets on earnings is statistically significant and positive during the 2008 financial crisis and the following two periods. In addition, authors find that during the adoption of IFRS in 2005, intangible assets have significant negative impact on earnings. The research findings provide empirical input for broader perspectives of intangible assets and demonstrates a rare account to understand the role of intangible assets on earnings in an emerging market.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

Spinal hematomas are a rare entity with broad etiologies, which stem from idiopathic, tumor-related, and vascular malformation etiologies. Less common causes include traumatic blunt nonpenetrating spinal hematomas with very few cases being reported. In the present manuscript presents a case report and review of the literature of a rare traumatic entity of a cervical subarachnoid hematoma in association with Brown-Séquard syndrome in a patient on anticoagulants. Searches were performed on PubMed and Embase for specific terms related.

OBSERVATIONS

A well-documented case of an 83-year-old female taking anticoagulants with traumatic cervical subarachnoid hematoma presenting as Brown-Séquard syndrome was reported. Six similar cases were identified, scrutinized, and analyzed in the literature review.

LESSONS

Traumatic blunt nonpenetrating cervical spine subarachnoid hematomas are a rare entity that can happen more specifically in anticoagulant users and in patients with arthritic changes and stenosis of the spinal canal. Rapid neurological deterioration and severe disability warrant early aggressive surgical treatment. This report has the intention to record this case in the medical literature for registry purposes.
Data-Driven and Model-Based Control Techniques for a Wind Turbine Benchmark Model
Authors: Simani Silvio , Farsoni Saverio , Castaldi Paolo
Published: December 2022

Abstract: Wind turbine plants are complex dynamic and uncertain processes driven by stochastic inputs and disturbances, as well as different loads represented by gyroscopic, centrifugal, and gravitational forces. Moreover, as their aerodynamic models are nonlinear, both modelling and control become challenging problems. On one hand, high–fidelity simulators should contain different parameters and variables in order to accurately describe the main dynamic system behaviour. Therefore, the development of modelling and control for wind turbine systems should consider these complexity aspects. On the other hand, these control solutions have to include the main wind turbine dynamic characteristics without becoming too complicated. The main point of this paper is thus to provide two practical examples of development of robust control strategies when applied to a simulated wind turbine plant. Extended simulations with the wind turbine benchhmark model and the Monte–Carlo tool represent the instruments for assessing the robustness and reliability aspects of the developed control methodologies when the model–reality mismatch and measurement errors are also considered. Advantages and drawbacks of these regulation methods are also highlighted with respect to different control strategies via proper performance metrics.

Published: December 2022

As a source of supply of a balanced complex of salts in pharmaceutical practice, sea water (MW), sea salt (MS), obtained by the method of ordinary evaporation, or salt solutions made from standardized raw materials are used. Deep seawater (SW), typically pumped from depths greater than 200 m, contains a wealth of trace elements, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, chromium, selenium, zinc, and vanadium. Due to this, SW has the potential of a source and raw material for the creation of medicinal products for human health.

The purpose of the work was to research the assortment of preparations based on salts of natural origin and analyze the segment of such products on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine as of June 2022.

The research was conducted on the basis of data from the State Register of Medicinal Products of Ukraine, the Morion information search program, and the classification system of the ATS electronic resource Compendium.online. Methods of structural, statistical and graphic analysis were applied in the work, and their generalization and systematization was carried out.

It was established that on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, the segment of medicines, medical products and cosmetics, the source of active substances of which is SW and/or SS, is represented by 150 trade names. It was determined that by type of registration, the most common are medical products (51%) and cosmetics (42%), only 7% of registered drugs are registered. Manufacturers use sea water obtained from the deep water basins of the Adriatic, Aegean, Mediterranean Seas, Atlantic Ocean, Kankal Bay, sea water of Gullmarsfjorden. Domestically produced drugs of the investigated market segment occupy a share of 57%. Among the importing countries, the leaders are Croatia (9%) and Poland (5%). The analysis of the nomenclature established that the most common medicinal form of the drugs are nasal sprays (78%).

The obtained data show that as the active substance of saline solutions, manufacturers declare SS (56% of the nomenclature) and SW (53%), however, not all products contain information about the source of origin of SS/SW. It was determined that there are no products on the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine based on the SW and SS of the Black and Azov seas, which is the basis for research and the creation of new drugs of domestic production.
Review of the research on the influence of different functional substituents of new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives on the compounds biological properties

Published: December 2022

Today, 1,2,4-triazole derivatives are a promising class of organic compounds. This is caused, first of all, by the possibility of various chemical modifications of the 1,2,4-triazole fragment due to the addition of typical pharmacophores, which contributes to the expansion of the new molecules’ arsenal. A significant number of the 1,2,4-triazole derivatives show biological properties, that postively affects the further process of the most promising substances’ introduction.
The aim of the work was to analyze the influence of various functional substituents of the new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives on the indicators of the mentioned compounds’ biological activity.
Literature sources containing information on the influence of various functional substituents of the new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives on the indicators of these compounds’ biological activity became the research materials. Methods were used in the work: analytical, bibliosemantic information search, generalization.
Triazoles and their heterocyclic analogues are compounds that contain a certain amount of Nitrogen atoms in their composition, showing the properties of typical pharmacophores. Their derivatives are easily synthesized and can be transformed into various biologically active molecules.
Information on the 1,2,4-triazole derivatives’ chemical modeling, which allows for purposefully obtaining compounds with the necessary biological properties, taking into account the toxicity indicators of new molecules, has been analyzed and summarized. The authors have proved, that the gradual and predicted introduction of various substituents into the molecule of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives leads to the appearance of new types of biological activity, in some cases it gives an increase in already existing activity indicators. Chemical compounds’ modification due to the substituents’ changing around the 1,2,4-triazole fragment fundamentally changes the type of biological activity of new molecules. This approach was chosen by the majority of scientists as promising one for the new biologically active substances’ search among the 1,2,4-triazole derivatives.
The priority, relevance and perspective of such researches have been proved by not only domestic scientists’ teams. Recently, foreign investigators from Turkey, India, Korea, China, Egypt, etc. have been actively searching for new biologically active substances among the 1,2,4-triazole derivatives.
The analysis of modern literary sources on the study of the new 1,2,4-triazole derivatives’ biological activity allows us to establish certain features of the various functional substituents’ influence on the types of biological activity and convincingly proves the outlook of further synthetic tests in the compounds’ specified series.
Post-Publication Racism: A Nail in the Coffin of Academic Medical Publishing
Authors: Kandil Mohamed
Published: December 2022

Racism and discrimination are deeply rooted in many aspects of the daily life activities in many societies. Academic medical publishing is not immune. There are many reports about pre-publication discrimination in academic medical publishing. This may be practiced at different levels. It may involve the editorial leadership, members of the editorial board, unfair peer review and constraints on time. This type of discrimination is reflected in the low number of accepted publications coming from the third world countries. Discrimination may manifest even after publication "post-publication". This appears in the form of continuous harassment of authors by throwing accusations of scientific misconduct many years after publication of the original documents. This situation will never improve without serious actions. Authors who were exposed to post-publication racism/discrimination should be invited to suggest ideologies to fight this practice. A blacklist for those involved in these practices should become available to help editors avoid misleading claims. The editorial board of highly esteemed journals should include well known members from the third world countries with sound scientific conduct and established medical reputation.

Authors: Siahaan Arta Uly
Published: December 2022

Communication skills in both oral and written English are significant assets for students to enter the industrial world. Preliminary studies revealed that tertiary vocational students (subjects are 66 Polibatam students) find it challenging to speak in English, especially when making presentations in English (77, 3%), which is a reasonably frequent activity in the industry. Therefore, developing alternative learning media is essential for students. It can be a source of learning independently, as well as an alternative teaching media for lecturers. This research aims to create and analyze motion graphics videos to support speaking practice aimed at vocational higher students. The content is about introducing English presentation and making a successful presentation. The method used in this study is R and D that started from identification or need analysis, design, development of the product, evaluation and final product. The field testing carried out is the alpha testing and beta testing. The developers themselves will conduct alpha testing which involved three media reviewers. Meanwhile, for beta testing, the motion graphic was tested to the English lecturer as the content reviewers and the students as the target to use this product. The result shows that the product was excellent to be used as alternative media for speaking practice even to be used by the lecturer as the media for asynchronous class.

Background: Using different scores to predict the outcome of patients and determine the severity of their illness could be effective in making better clinical decisions and helping patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive value of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) of in-hospital mortality in patients with a suicide attempt. Methods: In a diagnostic study, we included 453 patients with suicide attempts in the poisoning unit and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) poisoning unit of Sina Hospital from December 2019 to September 2021. Patients’ vital signs and level of consciousness were recorded and then analyzed by statistical methods. Results: The Mean±SD of patients’ age was 31.82±12.28 and the mortality rate was 7.7%. The median (25%-75%) of NEWS and MEWS in all patients was 4(2-7) and 2(1-3), respectively. Based on the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of NEWS, the Area Under The Curve (AUC) (CI95%), standard error, and cut off point were 0.915(0.876-0.995), 0.020, and 7.5 respectively (85% sensitivity and 81% specificity) (P˂0.001). The results of MEWS based on Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.87 (0.805-0.932), 0.033, and 3.5 respectively (74% sensitivity and 84% specificity) (P˂0.001). Conclusion: Based on our study results, we concluded that in hospitalized patients with suicide attempts, the accuracy of NEWS in predicting hospital mortality is higher than MEWS

Background: Drug-induced liver injury is a major cause of hepatitis worldwide. In patients diagnosed with acute poisoning, drug-induced liver injury is a critical challenge. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of hepatotoxicity in poisoned patients admitted to Loghman Hakim Hospital. Methods: In this cross-sectional study that was conducted at Loghman Hakim hospital, the clinical records of poisoned patients were evaluated and patients with hepatotoxicity were selected for final analysis. The clinical and para-clinical information of these patients was recorded. The SPSS software, version 23. was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 260 cases were included in this study. The Mean±SD age of patients was 38.24±16.29 years and most of them were male (79.2%). Patients with narcotics poisoning had the highest prevalence (38.5%), especially when they were taken together with acetaminophen or benzodiazepine. In addition, among the patients studied, those with underlying cardiovascular disease are more likely to develop hepatotoxicity. Conclusion: In conclusion, among people with various types of poisoning, it seems that narcotics (opium, heroin, methadone, etc.), particularly when taken together with acetaminophen or benzodiazepines, cause hepatotoxicity and increase serum levels of liver aminotransferases. Also, in the study population, patients with underlying cardiovascular disease had a higher chance of liver injury. Therefore, clinicians are recommended to accurately monitor the sign and symptoms of hepatotoxicity in these populations.

Authors: Tanriverdiyeva Husniyya
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the study is to identify current trends in metaphorical transfers in publicistic texts in Azerbaijani and English languages.

Research methodology. In the course of the research, during the elaboration of the theoretical achievements of scholars the methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization were used; the method of comparison was used for identification of common and different in journalistic texts in Azerbaijani and English. The study is based on the theory of cognitive linguistics, according to which transfers are both linguistic and philosophical acts.

Results. The article deals with metaphorical transfers in Azerbaijani and English. They apply to all people, regardless of their race or nationality. Linguistic sources of the outlined subject are analyzed. Human consciousness is able to maintain an infinite system of associations. As a rule, the conceptualization of different branches of knowledge based on metaphorical transfer is based on logical-syntactic and semantic frameworks of language. Metaphorical transfers, according to the theory of cognitive linguistics, are both linguistic and philosophical actions. The rationale for such provisions is presented in Western linguistics, modern research has confirmed that metaphorization is the result of intellectual activity, and its manifestation is the structure of the language. As for the human imagination, which usually has infinite limits, it is able to create the most complex cognitive models. These models of transfer, which are part of cultural thinking, are expressed through language. At the same time, people share the same cognitive models because they have similar life experiences. The article shows that metaphorical transfers in Azerbaijani and English languages are practically indistinguishable or have slight variations.

Novelty. It is demonstrated by concrete examples that in the minds of all people there is a common metaphorical model and that forms of expression change depending on the interlocutors.

Practical importance. The results obtained may be of interest to media language researchers and lecturers of philology and journalism.

Key words: English language, Azerbaijani language, cognitive linguistics, metaphorical transfer, publicistic text.
