Published: October 2024

The economic development of the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes was generated spontaneously without considering the land use capacity or its position in the landscape. Due to the occupation and intensive disordered use of the city pedological coverage, there have been mass movements that have caused economic and social losses. These can be resized based on the understanding of the pedological aspects inherent to the city. The objective of the present paper was to map the soils of the city area at a semi-detailed level. For this purpose, different toposequences were used, with soil examinations at a rate of 1 for every 2.75 km², totaling 94 points. The mapping and taxonomic classification of soils were made in accordance with standards, procedures and criteria adopted by Embrapa Soils. Based on the morphological data, locations were defined for soil description and sampling, totaling 14 soil profiles. 15 soil classes were identified, and 23 mapping units were defined, which highlighted the notable role of the source material in the distribution of the city's pedological properties. The mapping units that require greater care for use are: a) in hill environments - PAdr1, PVAd1 and PVd; and b) in the fluvial-marine plains – EKu1, EKu2 and GXbd2. The expansion of urban areas must consider the type of soil and the behavior of the material, especially during the rainy season, in order to minimize risks and adverse losses.

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of l‐valine produced by fermentation with a genetically modified strain of Escherichia coli (CGMCC 22721) as a nutritional additive for all animal species. The production strain and its DNA were not detected in the final additive. Therefore, the final product does not give raise to any safety concern regarding the genetic modification of the production strain. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concludes that l‐valine produced using E. coli CGMCC 22721 is safe for the target species when supplemented in appropriate amounts to the diet according to the nutritional needs of the target species. The FEEDAP Panel has concerns on the use of amino acids in water for drinking for hygienic reasons, and due to the risk of imbalances when administered simultaneously via feed. The use of l‐valine produced using E. coli CGMCC 22721 in animal nutrition is considered safe for the consumers and for the environment. The FEEDAP Panel cannot conclude on the potential of l‐valine produced using E. coli CGMCC 22721 to irritant to the skin or eyes, a dermal or respiratory sensitiser due to the lack of data. The endotoxin activity of the additive does not represent a hazard for users handling the additive when exposed by inhalation. The additive l‐valine produced by fermentation using E. coli CGMCC 22721 is regarded as an efficacious source of the essential amino acid l‐valine for non‐ruminant nutrition. For the supplemental l‐valine to be as efficacious in ruminants as in non‐ruminant species, it requires protection against degradation in the rumen.

Review In Fourier series
Authors: Khadim Judy Jawad
Published: October 2024

It is known that Fourier series are one of linear transformations and have many uses in mathematics, physics, engineering…etc. It is used to influence on periodic functions that repeats in a certain period to transform it into a sum of sine and cosine functions also used for non-periodic functions, as we will notice, and it has many other uses. In this article, I study, with examples, the important uses of Fourier series in physics, engineering, and mathematics, with proofs and examples where it necessary. One of results that we have reached in this article is that use Fourier series to facilitated a solution of differential equations in particular partial differential equations by the sinusoidal part of it, also obtaining the best approximation element for a particular function by means of its mathematical mean which called Feger operators. Moreover, there are more than one auxiliary conclusion for, example if a function has two different periods, then the sum of these periods, its subtraction, and its multiplying by constant, will be a new period for this function. Here, I refer to another conclusion that, Fourier series itself do not give the best approximation element for a particular function.

International Approaches to the Development, Validation, and Change Management of Analytical Procedures (Review)
Authors: Fetisova A. V. , Aladysheva Zh. I. , Pyatigorskaya N. V. , Zyryanov O. A. , Marshalova M. M.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. In 2023, the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) published a new Guideline on Analytical Procedure Development (ICH Q14) and a revised version of the Guideline on Validation of Analytical Procedures (ICH Q2(R2)). Consequently, there is a need for a considerable revision of the approach to the development and validation of analytical procedures that is currently used in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). A revision is also needed for the processes for evaluating and introducing variations to the analytical procedures described in medicinal product registration dossiers.

AIM. This review aimed to analyse the significant changes made to international approaches to the development of analytical procedures, as well as to study the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches for pharmaceutical manufacturers and regulatory agencies in the EAEU.

DISCUSSION. This review covers the key provisions and practical aspects of the enhanced approaches to the development of analytical procedures introduced by the ICH Q14 guideline. In particular, the review addresses the concepts of the analytical procedure life cycle (APLC) and the modified analytical quality-by-design (AQbD) approach; the development of the analytical target profile (ATP); analytical quality risk management; planning of the design of experiments (DoE) and the analytical procedure control strategy; and the validation, subsequent verification, transfer, and change management of analytical procedures. Additionally, the review describes the ICH Q2(R2) updates that accompany this new regulatory paradigm.

CONCLUSIONS. The above guidelines fill the existing gap in recommendations for the development of analytical procedures. The use of the APLC and AQbD concepts provides both pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities with flexible approaches that are applicable to analytical procedures both during the development phase and once they have been implemented. Effective implementation of these international approaches in the Russian pharmaceutical industry and regulatory system requires a broad discussion between pharmaceutical industry professionals and regulatory agency experts, possibly, as part of a pilot project. After that, there will be a necessity to provide training for specialists involved in the development of analytical procedures and to amend the EAEU Rules for Marketing Authorisation and Expert Assessment of Medicinal Products for Human Use.

INTRODUCTION. Marburg and Ebola viruses cause severe haemorrhagic fever in humans and primates. Currently, there are no licensed prophylactic vaccines that can simultaneously prevent the spread or reduce the severity of both diseases caused by these filoviruses. The development of effective prophylactic vaccines requires studies aimed at selecting the most immunogenic forms of protective antigens.

AIM. This study aimed to evaluate humoral immune induction in animals after administration of recombinant adenoviral vectors expressing various forms of Ebola and Marburg virus glycoproteins (GPs).

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Samples of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 (rAd5) were obtained using homologous recombination in Escherichia coli, growth in HEK293 cells, and purification by CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation. The resulting rAd5 samples were characterised in terms of their identity (PCR and whole-genome sequencing), the concentration of viral particles (fluorescence spectroscopy), and the concentration of infectious viral particles (TCID50 assay). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate the GP-specific IgG titres in the sera of immunised mice.

RESULTS. The authors constructed rAd5 samples, and each construct contained an expression cassette with a GP gene form encoding a full-length GP, a GP without the mucin-like domain, or a GP without both the glycan cap and the mucin-like domain. Each of these forms was studied using the GPs of four filoviruses, including Zaire Ebola virus, Sudan Ebola virus, Bundibugyo Ebola virus, and Marburg virus. Neither of the forms had a critical effect on the rAd5 replicative capacity. Three weeks after immunisation, the highest GP-specific IgG production was induced by the rAd5 samples encoding either the full-length GP or the GP without the mucin-like domain. The GP without both the glycan cap and the mucin-like domain was the least immunogenic antigen regardless of the filovirus species.

CONCLUSIONS. The most promising constructs for the development of filovirus vaccines based on recombinant adenoviral vectors are the constructs that include the genes encoding the fulllength GP or the GP without the mucin-like domain.

INTRODUCTION. Despite existing treatment methods, complete eradication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains an unattainable goal due to the high variability of HIV type 1 (HIV-1). HIV infection necessitates life-long administration of antiretroviral medicinal products, which cause serious adverse drug reactions. The development of gene therapy products based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors encoding broadly neutralising antibodies represents a promising direction for creating long-term therapies capable of countering a wide range of viral variants.

AIM. This study aimed to evaluate the protective efficacy of CombiMab-2, a medicinal product consisting of a combination of three AAV vectors (AAV9-VRC07-523, AAV9-10-1074, and AAV9-PGDM1400) encoding broadly neutralising antibodies against HIV-1, in a humanised mouse model.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study used an HIV infection model based on immunodeficient B-NDG mice humanised with human CD4+ lymphocytes (1.5×107 cells per animal) from a leukoconcentrate of a healthy donor. The experiment used two groups of mice, including a control group (3 animals) receiving saline solution and an experimental group (5 animals) receiving CombiMab-2. The medicinal product was administered into different muscles as three separate components six weeks prior to infection. The CCR5-tropic HIV-1 strain was obtained by transfecting HEK293FT cells with the pNL4-3(AD8) plasmid encoding the full-length virus. The authors monitored viral loads in the plasma of animals by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and CD4+ lymphocyte counts in the peripheral blood of animals by flow cytometry for four weeks after infection.

RESULTS. Six weeks after CombiMab-2 administration, the levels of broadly neutralising antibodies in the serum of humanised mice ranged from 0.17 μg/mL to 4.0 μg/mL. In the control group, the viral load reached 105 copies/mL one week after HIV-1 infection and continued to rise over the next three weeks. In the treatment group, infection developed only in one mouse, which had the lowest antibody titre before infection. No viral load was detected in the remaining mice of the treatment group, which indicated that the medicinal product was effective if serum concentrations of broadly neutralising antibodies reached 0.5 μg/mL or higher.

CONCLUSIONS. The tested medicinal product based on three AAV vectors (AAV9-VRC07-523, AAV9-10-1074, and AAV9-PGDM1400) exhibits protective activity against HIV-1 in humanised mice. The presented data allow the authors to consider CombiMab-2 as a promising antiviral agent that can serve as a basis for further pharmaceutical development.

Since direct measurement of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process, the most common procedure is to estimate ET0 from climate data. The purpose of this study was to perform reference evapotranspiration calculations based on the data of the state meteorological station Askania-Nova and compare them with the actual ET0 data obtained using an automatic Internet meteorological station. The data for the study were taken from the state meteorological station Askania-Nova (township Askania-Nova, Kakhovsky district, Kherson region, 46.45°N 33.88°E) and the automatic Internet meteorological station iMetos IMT 300 from the company "Pessl Instruments", which is located at the meteorological site of the Askaniysk DSDS (Tavrychanka village, Kakhovsky district, Kherson region, 46.55°N, 33.83°E). Standard evapotranspiration was calculated using the Penman-Monteith method (FAO56-RM). To assess the accuracy of ET0 calculations, mean absolute percent error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE) and Standard Error of Estimate (SEE ) were determined. According to the results of the comparison of indicators from two meteorological stations, it was found that the smallest errors are inherent in the daily average and maximum temperature and relative air humidity (MAPE<10%), for the minimum temperature and relative air humidity, the MAPE errors are 18,1 and 13,7%, respectively. The MAPE error for water vapor pressure deficit and solar radiation is 20,2 and 26,3%, respectively. The largest MAPE error of 40,3% was established for wind speed measurements. The average MAPE error between the calculated ET0, based on the meteorological data of the Askania-Nova station, and the actual ET0 data obtained from the automatic Internet meteorological station iMetos is 16,8%, RMSE – 0,65 mm, SEE – 0,56 mm. Applying a coefficient of 0,92 when calculating ET0 reduces the errors of MAPE, RMSE, and SEE by 3,2%, 0,15 mm, and 0,05 mm, respectively, for all calculation periods. For the May-August period, the MAPE error was 10,7%, which brings the calculations close to high accuracy (MAPE <10%). Based on the results of the calculations, it was established that on average over the years of research, the actual ET0 was 68 mm less than the calculated one. The absolute errors of determination of ETc depended on the crop and the average over the years of research ranged from 33 mm (winter wheat) to 68 mm (early tomatoes). The application of the refined value of ET0 in calculations reduces the absolute errors in the determination of c over the years of research, this error did not exceed 6 mm (early tomato). Research results confirm the possibility of using meteorological indicators obtained from state meteorological stations to calculate ET0. To increase the accuracy of calculations, it is necessary to use a refinement coefficient.

Published: October 2024

The assessment of the current state of the water and land reclamation engineering infrastructure facilities, which was carried out on the basis of the analysis of technical documentation, visual, and instrumental examination of the structures' technical condition, confirms that as a result of long-term operation of the waterworks without proper reparation and restoration measures, their technical condition has significantly deteriorated.
The most promising for the repair of concrete and reinforced concrete structures are cement-based materials modified with polymers (polymer concrete), which are dry mixtures of cement, sand, re-dispersible polymer powder (RPP) and other modifying additives. The research results of the redispersing polymer powders influence on the adhesive properties of repair composites are presented. It is shown that the modification of cement-sand solutions of RPP leads to a significant increase in the adhesive properties of repair composites. The optimally effective concentration of RPP in repair compositions has been found.
The article highlights the technology of structural repair of concrete and reinforced concrete structures of the waterworks with the use of modern composite materials, which makes it possible to restore the design geometric indicators and the load-bearing capacity of the structures. The proposed technology and effective repair compositions help to carry out repair and restoration work on hydrotechnical structures of the water management and reclamation complex, in particular those destroyed or damaged as a result of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The main principles of choosing the optimal technology for the structural repair of concrete and reinforced concrete structures of the waterworks, depending on the nature and degree of damage, the influence of technological and operational conditions on the structures' geometric indicators restoration during the modernization and reconstruction of reclamation systems in the post-war period, are revealed.

Objective. The work was performed with the purpose to study microbiota state of the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) of C57Bl/6 mice with signs of metabolic dysbiosis (MD) induced with the use of fructose solution or with poloxamer 407 (P 407), during treatment with combination of sodium polyprenylphosphate (PPP) and beta-sitosterol (BSS). Materials and Methods. MD was induced in mice with drinking 20 per cent water fructose solution. MD was also induced in mice by intraperitoneal use of P 407 at the dose of 500 mg/kg two times per week during ten weeks. The mice of experimental groups received intragastrically combination of PPP and BSS preparations (0,2 ml of the suspension per mouse). Medical scheme consisted in use of preparations five times per week starting after one month from the first day of fructose drinking or of P 407 use and prolonging for one month else. The quantity of viable bacteria in the probes obtained was measured by the direct passage of the material tested on elective or selective nutritional media with following count of colonies grown. Results. The drink of fructose solution or use of P 407 caused the changes of GIT microbiota state that confirmed development of signs of MD in mice. Treatment with PPP and BSS combination was shown to cause actual tendencies to restore the normal GIT microbiota state. Conclusion. Combination of PPP and BSS preparations seemed to be efficient as a novel approach to correction of GIT microbiota state perturbed due to pathogenesis of MD considered as one of the primary signs of metabolic syndrome in mice.
Green Recommender Systems – A Call for Attention
Authors: Beel Joeran , Said Alan , Vente Tobias , Wegmeth Lukas
Published: October 2024

Recommender systems are pivotal in numerous industries, from e-commerce to streaming platforms, significantly influencing user choices and engagement. However, the computational costs of these systems have escalated sharply, contributing to growing environmental concerns. This paper advocates for the development of Green Recommender Systems—recommender systems designed to minimize environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from research and design to deployment and operation. While green systems strive to maintain the performance of traditional systems, they may accept trade-offs in metrics like accuracy to prioritize sustainability, often focusing on reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The increasing complexity of machine learning models directly contradicts sustainability goals, and as such, a shift towards resource-efficient models is critical. We explore practical strategies to reduce the environmental footprint of recommender systems, such as using energy-efficient hardware and downsampling datasets. By incorporating sustainability into the design and evaluation of these systems, we aim to foster the development of algorithms that are both effective and environmentally responsible. This paper calls for the recommender systems community to expand the concept of performance to include energy efficiency, balancing accuracy with sustainability for the long-term viability of recommendation technologies.

Tinkle Friend is the national chatline providing support, advice, and information to primary school children in Singapore. Most chatline research has focused on examining service statistics and clients’ experiences with using the service. However, the contents of chats are a valuable resource in understanding children’s perspectives. The study aimed to explore what contributed to children’s mental health distress and their experiences related to help-seeking from people around them. Fifty-seven (approximately 20%) mental health-related chats logged between March and December 2021 were randomly selected and analysed using thematic analysis. Chats shorter than 15 minutes in duration were excluded. Children in the study were aged 8 to 13 years (M=11.5 years). Two themes were identified: sources of distress and barriers to help-seeking. Children’s distress mainly stemmed from harsh parenting and children experiencing collateral damage from parental conflict within the family, academic and behavioural expectations in school, and bullying and pursuing peer social acceptance. In response to distress, children were reluctant to seek help due to distrust, fear of rejection and stigma, parental invalidation, and perceiving adults and peers as unreliable sources of support. Study findings suggest that adults have a key responsibility to create safe spaces due to their extensive influence on children. Recommendations include to enhance adults’ mental health literacy to combat their invalidating responses, empower and enable children in their help-seeking processes, and improve children’s sense of safety around their social network. Study findings also affirm the importance of maintaining child chatlines as an external avenue of support for children.
Analyzing urban parks' spatial integration in Budapest to understand changes in visitation patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: October 2024

Globally, dramatic changes in park visitation have accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic. In general, cities have experienced an overall increase in park visitation after strict lockdowns imposed in the pandemic’s first wave have been removed. However, previous research conducted in Hungary has demonstrated that park visitation varied across parks with different sizes and locations in the city. We hypothesized that the degree of the park’s integration into the urban fabric significantly affected changes in visitation. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a space syntax analysis. Findings show that community parks with an area of 10.01-50.00 hectares and a mean spatial integration of 72.37 experienced the highest increase in the number of visitors (based on mobile devices’ GNSS data). Surprisingly, large metropolitan parks providing highly complex ecosystem services lost many visitors during the pandemic, which might be due to their low spatial integration.
Transferring Smart City Concepts to Smaller Urban and Rural Contexts

Published: October 2024

A smart city (SC) leverages new technologies, such as information and communication technologies (ICTs), to enhance urban management and improving residents’ quality of life. Others define technologically based projects aiming to improve quality of life throughout a variety of dimensions such as economic improvement, social stability, and environment as “smart developments”. Moreover, a relatively new concept has emerged – that of the “smart village”, which focuses on enhancing development aspects in rural areas through digital technologies and involving the local population in their development, seeking to reflect the demographic transformation from rural settlements into smaller towns, then (small) cities, and even megacities. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate smart city projects against social, economic and environmental criteria to determine their success and to foster continuous improvement and learning. Large cities are currently at the centre of smart city analysis and indexes; there is a clear lack of attention on medium and small cities. Assessment models for small cities are crucial for their development, as there is a need for tailored models to support small smart cities and regions, focusing on innovative, financially feasible solutions to enhance quality of life. This paper lays out the state of the art in the field of smart cities and regions with a focus on sustainability aspects (such as governance, social, economic and environmental dimensions) and identifies the characteristics that can be transferred to smaller-scale urban and non-urban contexts.
A Call for Evidence-based Best-Practices for Recommender Systems Evaluations
Authors: Beel Joeran
Published: October 2024

The evaluation practices in the field of recommender systems have long faced scrutiny for their lack of rigor and reproducibility. Despite recent improvements, such as result-blind reviews and reproducibility tracks, the community still lacks comprehensive, evidence-based best-practice guidelines. This paper echoes the call for establishing such guidelines, emphasizing the need for reproducible research, robust methodologies, and accessible data and code. Drawing parallels to evidence-based practices in fields like medicine, this work proposes a framework for developing guidelines that include empirical justification, consensus assessment, and severity evaluation of best practices. By introducing structured best practices for evaluation, including the use of random seeds and multiple trials, this paper aims to drive the adoption of higher research standards in the recommender systems community, ultimately leading to more consistent and reliable contributions to collective knowledge.
Political Entertainment

Published: October 2024

The psychological mechanisms that govern the selection and processing of political entertainment are different from those of more traditional political content. These unique mechanisms suggest lower argument scrutiny and resistance from the audience. By bypassing these barriers to persuasion, political entertainment can shape political knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and behavior in ways that can have wider implications for individuals, society, and democracy. In this entry, we not only discuss the psychological mechanisms that make political entertainment unique, but also explicate the different approaches to defining political entertainment and its effects on sociopolitical outcomes.
Self-effects
Authors: Prochazka Fabian
Published: October 2024

Self-effects are effects of messages on the senders or creators of messages themselves. Research on self-effects spans various theoretical and methodological backgrounds, including political deliberation, empirical psychology, and psychotherapy. In political communication, these effects mostly relate to the question how expressing opinions affects cognitions, emotions, and behaviors towards politics. There is ample evidence that self-effects play a vital role in the formation of political attitudes and affect political participation. With structural societal changes and a proliferation of social media, self-effects have become more likely and deserve to be studied more intensively. This entry defines self-effects, provides an overview of relevant research strands, offers theoretical explanations, and suggests promising areas for future research.
