Authors: Drozdenko T. V. , Volgusheva A. A.
Published: November 2021

The phytoplankton communities of Lake Kuchane, located in the Mikhailovskoye Museum-Reserve, were studied during different 2016–2017 seasons for the first time. 213 specific and intraspecific taxa from 9 phylums were identified in the phytoplankton, namely: Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Chrysophyta, Euglenophyta, Cyanobacteria, Dinophyta, Cryptophyta, Charophyta, and Xanthophyta. The ratio of the main phylums of microalgae during the studied seasons was similar. The floristic complex of the lake's algoflora consisted of diatoms (36.6%), green (27.2%) and golden (10.8%) algae. Most of the phytoplankton genera contained one species taxon only. The specific composition of the phytoplankton community in 2017 was similar from spring to autumn. The minimum specific similarity of the phytoplankton communities was noted in July, 2016, and August, 2017. According to the level of biomass of planktonic algae, the lake belongs to oligotrophic water bodies. The planktonic algoflora of Lake Kuchane is characterized by the predominance of cosmopolitan freshwater forms of microalgae. In relation to pH, the predominant representatives preferred slightly alkaline waters. The Milius trophic index varied in the range 18.0–39.6 with a maximum value in summer. The Pantle–Bukk saprobity index almost did not change during the entire study. The waters of Lake Kuchane corresponded to the betamesosaprobic self-purification zone, quality class III.
Dactylorhiza incarnata (L.) Soó (Orchidaceae, Liliopsida) on the northern border of its distribution area: Population structure and seed productivity
Authors: Kirillova I. A. , Kirillov D. V.
Published: November 2021

The results of the study of the population biology of the rare orchid Dactylorhiza incarnata (L.) Soó on the territory of the Komi Republic (north-east of European Russia), where the species is located on the northern border of its range, are presented. Data on the population structure, morphometric features of plants, and reproductive characteristics of the species are given. It was found that the size of plants and the number of flowers in the inflorescence of this species in the region is lower than in the more southern parts of its range. The populations size ranges from 30 to 350 individuals with their average density of 0.7–3.7 per 1 m2 , and it is common for this species in other parts of its distribution area. Reproductive success is associated with the weather of the second decade of June because the flowering time of the species in the region happens in this time. It was found that the seed size of D. incarnata (0.55×0.20 mm) on its northern border is smaller than in other parts of the range. The seed productivity is rather high: one fruit contains an average of 6.2 thousands of seeds and one individual could produce about 49.4 thousands of seeds. Temperature during flowering time and precipitation during seed ripening may affect seed quality. The presence of juvenile individuals (%) in all the studied populations shows seed recruitment in populations of this species at the northern limit of the range, despite a lower seed set in comparison with southern populations.

A general characteristic of the river basin of the interstate Ural river and information on the economic use of the Ural river in its upper, middle and lower reaches are given. Information on the hydrology of the liquid and solid flow of the Ural river is presented. Hydrochemical monitoring of water bodies of the Ural river basin was conducted during the flood period, during the summer low water period and during the autumn low water period of 2017–2018. The hydrochemical monitoring of the water quality in natural reservoirs of the Ural drainage basin made it possible to identify an excess of the MPCs for residential use and for fishery of heavy metal ions in the water of the examined reservoirs. An excess of cadmium ions by (1.2–1.4) MPC for residential use was found in the Ilek river during its low water as well as in the Ural river near the border with the Russian Federation during the flood period in the amount of (3.1–3.4) MPC for residential use and near the village Zharsuat in the period of summer and autumn low water in the amount of (1.5–2.6) MAC for residential use. An excessive concentration of lead ions by (1.2–1.4) of MPC for fresh water fisheries in the middle and lower reaches of the Ural river at different times of the year was found. Excessive concentrations of ions of different heavy metals in comparison with their MPC for fresh water fisheries were found in all water bodies in different periods of the year. The greatest excess of zinc ions in comparison with its MPC for fresh water fisheries was observed during low water.

Conversion of corn fiber into fuel ethanol
Authors: Ondáš Vladimír , Novanská Hana , Horváthová Viera
Published: November 2021

Corn fiber due to its chemical composition (up to 20% starch, 50 - 60% non-starch polysaccharides) and availability has potential to serve as a substrate for manufacture of various products, including fuel ethanol. This paper deals with assessment of fiber-to-ethanol conversion. The water/dry fiber ratio in suspensions was 10/1. Enzyme liquefaction and saccharification of residual starch in corn fiber was carried out in two steps with thermostable α-amylase (20 min, 120°C) and mixture of pullulanase and glucomalyse (24 hours, 60°C). Procedures resulted in release of 57.7±1.6 mg of glucose per gram of dry fiber basis. It responds to the dextrose equivalent expression to 96.7±2.2%. By fermentation of the starch hydrolysates by yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae CCY-11-3 (5% v/v inoculum, 28°C, 72 hours) 0.48 g of ethanol per gram of glucose in hydrolysates was obtained. The solids after starch hydrolysis were separated by filtration and processed by acid pretreatment (0.1 g of conc. HCl/g of biomass/5 ml of water, 120°C, 20 min) with subsequent enzyme hydrolysis (24 hours, 60°C) by the multienzyme preparations containing cellulases and hemicellulases. Overall yield of reducing sugars after these two steps was

740.7±3.9 mg/gram of dry corn fiber basis. Fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates by yeasts Pichia stipitis CCY-39-50-1 and Candida shehatea CCY-29-68-4 (in both cases 5% v/v inoculum, 28°C, 72 hours) resulted in 0.38 and 0.12 g of ethanol per gram of reducing sugars. The results indicate that applied pretreatment methods and used microorganisms are able to produce ethanol from corn fiber.
Chemometrics in analytical chemistry
Authors: Brodnjak Vončina Darinka
Published: November 2021

Chemometrics is a scientific discipline closely connected with statistics and mathematics. It has an important role in analytical chemistry. Modern analytical methods provide opportunity to collect large amounts of data for various samples. For handling analytical results different chemometric methods are employed, such as basic statistical methods for the determination of mean and median values, standard deviations, minimal and maximal values of measured parameters and their mutual correlation coefficients, the principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis (CA), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The objectives of chemometrics in analytical chemistry are focused on characterization and chemometrical classification of different samples. The quality of environmental samples such as water, sediment, soil, air samples etc. can be determined according to measured physical and chemical parameters, which represent the individual samples. Chemometric methods give information regarding measured parameters about similarity between sampling locations, sources of pollution, seasonal behavior and time trends. Monitoring of general pollution of environmental samples and following measuring parameters which are above permitted level given by legislation can be used for searching of pollution source and for planning

prevention measures from pollution. Food samples can also be characterized by chemometrical methods. Chemometrics can be used for fast and efficient determination of food sample categories, such as edible oils, wines, fruits and fruit juices etc. Classification can also be performed according to the origin, source or season. From all these facts it is evident that the aim of chemometrics in analytical chemistry is high and extensive.

Nonmonotonous temperature dependence of Shapiro steps in YBCO grain boundary junctions
Authors: Revin Leonid S , Masterov Dmitriy V , Parafin Alexey E , Pavlov Sergey A , Pankratov Andrey L
Published: November 2021

The amplitudes of the first Shapiro steps for an external signal with frequencies of 72 and 265 GHz are measured as function of the temperature from 20 to 80 K for a 6 μm Josephson grain boundary junction fabricated by YBaCuO film deposition on an yttria-stabilized zirconia bicrystal substrate. Non-monotonic dependences of step heights for different external signal frequencies were found in the limit of a weak driving signal, with the maxima occurring at different points as function of the temperature. The step heights are in agreement with the calculations based on the resistively–capacitively shunted junction model and Bessel theory. The emergence of the receiving optima is explained by the mutual influence of the varying critical current and the characteristic frequency.

Authors: Wippert Nicolai , Nieger Martin , Herlan Claudine , Jung Nicole , Bräse Stefan
Published: November 2021

We describe the synthesis of so far synthetically not accessible 3,6-substituted-4,6-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazines as nitrogen-rich heterocycles. The target compounds were obtained in five steps, including an amidation and a cyclative cleavage reaction as key reaction steps. The introduction of two side chains allowed a variation of the pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazine core with commercially available building blocks, enabling the extension of the protocol to gain other derivatives straightforwardly. Attempts to synthesize 3,7-substituted-4,7-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazines, the regioisomers of the successfully gained 3,6-substituted 4,6-dihydro-3H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazines, were not successful under similar conditions due to the higher stability of the triazene functionality in the regioisomeric precursors and thus, the failure of the removal of the protective group.

Objective Static cold storage (SCS) is the standard method for pancreas preservation but does not facilitate objective organ assessment prior to transplantation. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has been used to test other abdominal and thoracic organs’ function and viability in transplantation settings. Our aim was to develop a NMP protocol specific for pancreases and then investigate its potential as an organ assessment strategy.

Method 8 porcine pancreases were procured in conditions replicating donation after circulatory death with warm ischaemia time of 25 minutes. After 3 hours of static cold storage (SCS) the pancreases were divided into 3 experimental groups 1) the feasibility group (n=2) that underwent 2.5 hours of NMP 2) the SCS group (n = 2) that underwent an additional 6 hours of SCS prior to assessment on NMP for an hour and 3) the Oxygenated Hypothermic Machine Perfusion (oxyHMP) group (n = 4) that underwent 6 hours of oxyHMP followed by 1-hour assessment on NMP. The NMP protocol used autologous, leucodepleted blood delivered at a mean arterial pressure of 40mmHg with a temperature of 37oC. At timed intervals during NMP, perfusate samples were collected for gas analysis and perfusion parameters were recorded.

Results The feasibility group was used to develop the NMP protocol and demonstrated stable perfusion parameters throughout NMP. Compared to the SCS group the oxyHMP group demonstrated better average perfusion characteristics with lower resistances, higher flow rates, lower mean lactate levels and physiological pH. The oxyHMP group maintained normal macroscopic appearances during NMP. At the end of NMP the SCS group had an average 32% weight increase compared to the oxyHMP group that were found to have a 17% weight reduction.

Conclusion Normothermic machine perfusion of whole pancreases is feasible after cold preservation and potentially useful as an assessment strategy. Furthermore, it demonstrated that oxygenated HMP may be beneficial for pancreas preservation compared to SCS.

The sun is a natural source of renewable energy. The use of solar energy may be especially important within global warming and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. solar energy is tested using solar thermal energy, photovoltaic energy development, and so on. Solar heat is the most common use around it. For solar-powered solar collectors, plates or tubes are coated with a layer of selective immersion fabric used to soak up solar energy, after which the energy is filled with excitement with the help of an active liquid within the heat form. This type of collector presents a number of shortcomings, including rules regarding incident congestion and relatively high heat loss. Lack of fossil fuels and environmental considerations have encouraged researchers to use energy sources that include solar energy. Therefore, it is important to maximize the efficiency and replicate solar thermal systems. Continuously, a few of the aforementioned nanofluid packages for thermal energy storage, solar cells, and sun exposure are being updated. Distribution defines the values of nanoparticles in a normal fluid base has a significant impact on the visible homes and the thermo-body of the fluid base. Enhancement of solar irradiance assimilation results in better heat transfer fines followed by more efficient heat transfer. Nanofluid suspension of nanoparticles in basic liquid, a new therapeutic goal of nanotechnology has been developed. Nanofluids have unique functions of a single type from a common stable liquid mixture in which mm or µm particles of metal and non-metallic particles are dispersed. due to its amazing properties, nanofluids are widely used to improve heat transfer. The purpose of this experimental manuscript is to examine nanofluids in solar panels. To overcome those problems, a direct sun suction collector has been used to exploit the heat of the sun.

The role of age on speech development in subjects with cochlear implants
Authors: Lazarovska Vesna , Jovanovska Mira
Published: November 2021

The cochlear implant has been approved as a method of treating bilateral deep deafness since the 1980s, and since then candidate selection methods have changed several times. Initially, the candidates were only adult patients, and in 1990 the cochlear implant was approved for the first time in children under 2 years of age by the US Food and Drug Administration. In 2000, the same US Administration reduced the limit to one year. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of age at cochlear implantation on speech recognition abilities. Concerning the age groups in which the subjects were assigned to, the best results on the tests were achieved by the group who underwent cochlear implantation at the youngest age. In conclusion, the benefit from cochlear implant in subjects with pre-lingual hearing impairment of the most severe degree has to be stressed and it is much bigger in comparison to individual amplifying hearing aids. If cochlear implant is placed at the youngest age, the results might lead to even 100% of active involvement in the social life of individuals with this kind of impairment.
Аssessment of the epidemiological situation and burden of COVID-19 on global, regional and national level
Authors: Kurti-Karameta Aferdita , Tozija Fimka
Published: November 2021

The current pandemic of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Global COVID-19 burden is characterized by a high variability in death rate across countries. Several possible explanations have been proposed, but it is not clear whether this variability is due to a single predominant factor or instead to multiple causes. The aim of this paper was to present and analyze the epidemiological situation and burden of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kosovo compared to other countries in Europe and the world. Material and methods: Public health approach and desk review were applied to present and analyze the trends over time of selected epidemiological indicators for COVID-19 based on multiple sources of data as well as WHO epidata and literature review. The assessment of the epidemiological situation in EU/EEA member states was done using the surveillance data routinely collected by ECDC. Official medical records from the National Institute of Public Health, other relevant health institutions; State Statistical Office and Ministry of Health in Kosovo were used. Results: According to ECDC as of 11 February 2021, 106,472,660 cases of COVID-19 (in accordance with the applied case definitions and testing strategies in the affected countries) have been reported, including 2,323,103 deaths. COVID-19 cases have been reported from: Africa: 3,673,181 cases, Asia: 20,438,608 cases, Europe: 34,681,426 cases, America: 47,620,931 cases; Oceania: 57,809 cases, Others: 705 cases. Deaths have been reported from: Africa 95,128 deaths, Asia 343,886, America 1,107,066, Europe 775,883, Oceania 1,210 and Other 6 deaths. In Kosovo from 13 March 2020 until 15th February 2021 there have been 64,298 cases of COVID- 19 with 1534 deaths. Absolute values of the indicators remain high in all countries in Europe, including those with stable or decreasing trends in these indicators, suggesting that transmission is still wide spread. The epidemic trajectory over the next months will be determined by the balance of four factors, with many different outcomes possible: the continued scale-up of vaccination, declining seasonality, the spread of new variants and increased behaviors that favor COVID-19 transmission. Conclusion: Findings from this paper can help to develop evidence-based policy interventions in Kosovo for risk assessment of COVID-19 and protection of general population and especially vulnerable groups with higher risk from COVID 19.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic does not only have a physical impact on the sufferers, restrictions on social interaction, and the existence of negative stigma from residents, but also have an impact on mental health and self-assessment on the patient. Nursing interventions can improve the mental health and happiness of patients, namely by providing social support and providing acceptance commitment therapy by the health workers. The provision of social support and acceptance commitment therapy aims to produce a meaningful life for patients undergoing treatment.

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of social support and acceptance commitment therapy on subjective well-being and mental health of COVID-19 patients.

METHODS: The research design used is quasi-experimental research with dependent pre-test and post-test samples. The sampling technique used is consecutive sampling to determine the sample according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a total sample of 106 respondents who were divided into 53 respondents for the intervention group and 53 respondents for the control group. The independent variables in this study are social support and acceptance commitment therapy. Meanwhile, the dependent variables in this study are subjective well-being and mental health. The instruments used in this research are The Social Support Questionnaire, Mental Health Inventory, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using t-test with p < 0.5.

RESULTS: The results show that in the intervention group, the difference in mean subjective well-being before and after the intervention is 6.88, while the difference in the mean of mental health before and after the intervention is 39.71. Furthermore, in the control group, the difference in mean subjective well-being before and after the intervention is 0.17, while the difference in the mean of mental health before and after the intervention is 0.02. Data analysis shows that social support and acceptance commitment therapy had an effect on subjective well-being and mental health of COVID-19 patients with p = 0.00.

CONCLUSION: The provision of social support and acceptance commitment therapy can be done as a preventive effort to maintain the mental health and subjective well-being of COVID-19 patients during the treatment period both in the hospital and independent isolation at home.
Re-imagining education
Authors: Yarker Patrick
Published: November 2021

FORUM is part of the movement for instituting a system of comprehensive education. Such a system would, among other things, prevent selection of young people for different types of education in different types of schools. It would do so principally on the grounds that a selective
system educationally damages all young people in it. Commitment to a system of comprehensive education entails a particular conception of human educability: that it is limitless. Such a view is radically at odds with the conception of human educability which informs arguments in support of
educational selection between types of school and also within schools of any type. It poses a host of questions which adherents of comprehensive education must continue to address, related to all aspects of an education system: the nature of learning and teaching, how those who learn are to
be regarded and how their learning might best be assessed, what is to be taught, how those who are taught may be grouped and organised in school, how education and democracy, school and community entwine, and more broadly, the social purposes of education. To envisage a comprehensive system
is to re-imagine education thoroughly.
Making homemade wine, online
Authors: Skinner William
Published: November 2021

Cet article étudie la façon dont les amateurs de vin fait maison interagissent en ligne, sur des forums de spécialistes et des plateformes de réseaux sociaux. Il explore les motivations qui poussent des individus à fabriquer leur propre vin comme un loisir sérieux, utilisant des concepts de technologies, technoscience et de tradition pour analyser les différents chemins d’apprentissage des connaissances dans ce domaine. Les communautés en ligne de vin fait maison développent leurs propres cultures internes, initiant un domaine à l’intérieur duquel se créent et se partagent de nouveaux types de connaissances.
Local bubbles: natural wines between globalisation and locavorism
Authors: Viecelli Clelia
Published: November 2021

Dans cet article, nous discutons les valeurs associées aux vins naturels, en particulier à travers la notion de localité, d’une part dans le contexte d’une mondialisation du vin mais aussi de l’intérêt croissant des consommateurs pour les produits artisanaux locaux. Nos matériaux ethnographiques de terrain reflètent cet engouement mondial pour les vins naturels qui répondent en même temps aux désirs de consommer local pour les consommateurs de la classe moyenne. Le caractère transnational de cette consommation illustre les contradictions attachées à cette notion de localité.
Patrick Williams, parfait ethnologue imparfait
Authors: Olivera Martin
Published: November 2021

L’œuvre de Patrick Williams en tant qu’ethnologue des Tsiganes représente non seulement une contribution majeure à la connaissance des Roms et des Manouches, mais aussi une référence stimulante pour penser l’ethnologie et son inestimable valeur. La portée des enseignements – et les inspirations – que l’on peut tirer de ses écrits et de ses expériences pour notre discipline et, au-delà, pour l’ensemble des sciences humaines et sociales, est considérable. Ils sont la preuve qu’il est possible de saisir et de rendre compte fidèlement du caractère toujours inachevé et, en même temps, toujours-déjà-là des réalités socioculturelles, ou des mondes dans le monde.
Changes in Physical and Cognitive Function Predict Sedentary Behavior in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Bowen Mary Elizabeth , Gaynor Beatrice , Phillips Lorraine J.
Published: November 2021

The current longitudinal study examined the influence of cognitive and lower extremity function on sedentary behavior continuously over 6 months in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Multilevel models examined Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) change scores and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) on percent time in sedentary behavior among 17 older adults with MCI (50 to 74 observations for analysis). Sedentary behavior was measured daily and averaged monthly using wrist-worn actigraphy. Each 1-unit decrease in MoCA score was associated with an increase of 2 percentage points in sedentary behavior (
p
≤ 0.01). In addition, each 1-unit decrease in chair stand score (lower extremity strength) was associated with an increase of 5 percentage points in sedentary behavior (
p
≤ 0.01). Older adults experiencing cognitive decline and concurrent changes in lower extremity strength had the sharpest increase in sedentary behavior. Findings suggest lower body strengthening interventions may reduce sedentary behavior time and subsequently preserve physical functioning in this vulnerable population. [

Exponential stability for a piezoelectric beam with a magnetic effect and past history
Authors: Dos Santos Manoel J. , Fortes João C. P. , Cardoso Marcos L.
Published: November 2021

Solutions for systems consisting of coupled wave equations, one of them with past history, may present different behaviors due to the type of coupling. In this paper, the issue of exponential stability for a piezoelectric beam with magnetic effect and past history is analyzed. In the work is proved that the past history term acting on the longitudinal motion equation is sufficient to cause the exponential decay of the semigroup associated with the system, independent of any relation involving the model coefficients.
Uniform-in-time continuum limit of the lattice Winfree model and emergent dynamics
Authors: Ha Seung-Yeal , Kang Myeongju , Moon Bora
Published: November 2021

We study a uniform-in-time continuum limit of the lattice Winfree model(LWM) and its asymptotic dynamics which depends on system functions such as natural frequency function and coupling strength function. The continuum Winfree model(CWM) is an integro-differential equation for the temporal evolution of Winfree phase field. The LWM describes synchronous behavior of weakly coupled Winfree oscillators on a lattice lying in a compact region. For bounded measurable initial phase field, we establish a global well-posedness of classical solutions to the CWM under suitable assumptions on coupling function, and we also show that a classical solution to the CWM can be obtained as a \begin{document}$ L^1 $\end{document}-limit of a sequence of lattice solutions. Moreover, in the presence of frustration effect, we show that stationary states and bump states can emerge from some admissible class of initial data in a large and intermediate coupling regimes, respectively. We also provide several numerical examples and compare them with analytical results.
El aburrimiento como emoción reactiva y revolucionaria: El caso de Chile
Authors: Ros Velasco Josefa , Moya Arriagada Ignacio
Published: November 2021

Este artículo presenta la hipótesis de que el aburrimiento pudo ser un factor decisivo en el estallido social que tuvo lugar en Chile en 2019. La misma se sustenta en otra hipótesis que postula que el aburrimiento puede convertirse en una emoción política capaz de desatar la revolución, cuando afecta a todo un pueblo. El objetivo principal del trabajo es explicar el marco teórico filosófico en el que se inscribe la segunda hipótesis y dar razones de por qué, de ser esta cierta, podría aplicarse al caso concreto de Chile. Primero se esboza una definición inédita del concepto de aburrimiento y se examina la literatura que describe el aburrimiento como una emoción reactiva y política. Después, se desarrolla el contexto sociopolítico chileno de los últimos cuarenta años en busca de factores aislables que puedan ser relacionados con la experiencia del aburrimiento. Finalmente, se presenta una línea de investigación original para testar ambas hipótesis en un proyecto más amplio que pretende poder predecir cuándo un sistema social está al borde del colapso por aburrimiento.
Génesis de la episteme de lo criminal: anotaciones en torno a Beccaria, Ferri y Foucault
Authors: Domínguez David J. , Domínguez Sánchez-Pinilla Mario
Published: November 2021

Los principios fundamentales de la escuela clásica utilitarista (el libre albedrío, la proporción entre los delitos y las penas, y la uniformidad de las penas) caracterizan dicha tendencia como una criminología administrativa y legal. Ello tuvo dos implicaciones. Por una parte, se obviaron los motivos y las causas últimas del comportamiento y las consecuencias desiguales de una norma arbitraria. Por otra, se redujo la función del juez a la aplicación de la ley, mientras que a esta le correspondía fijar una pena para cada delito. A finales del siglo xix tales principios conocen la irrupción progresiva de otra episteme punitiva surgida como consecuencia de la colonización del espacio jurídico por parte de las ciencias positivas (médicas y sociales) y los programas de acción etiológicos. No se trata de un programa planificado y preestablecido, sino de la confluencia de una serie de teorías y de programas de prevención penales que Michel Foucault resumió como la constatación de que la ley funciona cada vez más como una norma. De ese modo, la criminalidad además de constituir el objeto de un interés científico constituye también el indicador de una problemática social y por tanto su inserción en una economía de poder cambiante.
