Transport Personnel: The Place and Role in Labor Migration
Authors: Komarovskiy V.
Published: August 2024

Workers engaged in international transportation of passengers and cargos represent an important segment of any national migration flow. The purpose of the proposed work is to draw attention to this category of labor migrants. At least two aspects determine the relevance of the problem under consideration: the pandemic has revealed the indispensability of this contingent of migrants in conditions of force majeure. Along with a number of other migrant workers professional categories, a transport personnel was recognized as a “key profession” with all the ensuing consequences. The analysis undertaken showed the high stress resistance and stability of transport workers migration flows, even during the period of interstate migration channels restoration. The available migration flows statistics have made it possible to trace the dynamics of the entry of relevant personnel from post-Soviet countries into Russia over the past six years. The results obtained indicate the sustainability of interstate pendulum migration/commuting flows of transport personnel even in modern difficult international relations. Cross-border migration itself would be impossible or extremely difficult without this category of labor migrants.
The Other Moldova: Moldovenism as an Ideology and Political Practice
Authors: Gudimenko D.
Published: August 2024

Moldovenism is considered by the author as a “mild”, inclusive form of Moldavian nationalism, which is aimed at the formation of a multi-component civil nation while respecting the rights of ethnic minorities. The article identifies three main factions in modern Moldovenism – Communists (PCRM), Socialists (PSRM) and supporters of I.Shor (“Victory” bloc, etc.). Moldovenists of all three movements declare a firm commitment to the neutral status of the republic and are categorically opposed to the Moldova's involvement into the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the West. They are fighting against Moldova’s annexation by Romania. It is also important that there is some sympathy for Russia in Moldovenism. Moldovenists, as a rule, are tolerant to Russia and its government. Assessing Moldovenism from the point of view of Russia’s national interests, the author concludes that it can be useful for our country, because it’s possible to cooperate with its adherents and because radical hostile actions from them can be hardly expected.
Enhanced Cooperation between Turkmenistan and Turkey
Authors: Ionova E.
Published: August 2024

Important parameters of interaction between Turkey and Turkmenistan are the growth of mutual trade, investment cooperation, Turkmen labor migration, and the promotion of Turkish “soft power” in the humanitarian sphere. Ethnic community has become the main factor in the rapprochement of the two countries and the actualization of the issue of Turkmenistan’s accession to the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). Despite pressure from Ankara, Turkmenistan, adhering to the status of neutrality and not becoming a full member of the OTS, actively cooperates with the structures that are part of the organization. Further rapprochement between the two countries is facilitated by joint projects in the field of transit of Turkmen gas through Turkey to Europe and the creation of new transport corridors.

Authors: Ramadhani Ahmad Rizky , Ruchba Sarastri Mumpuni
Published: August 2024

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the determinants of shrimp exports in Indonesia in the period 1993 - 2022.
Methods – This study uses time series data from 1993 - 2022. The data analysis used is the Error Correction Model (ECM) analysis.
Findings – The results of this study indicate that the exchange rate has a positive effect on the volume of shrimp exports in the short term. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and international shrimp prices do not affect the volume of shrimp exports in the long term or the short term. In the short term, the amount of production does not affect the volume of shrimp exports, while in the long term, the amount of production affects the volume of Indonesian shrimp exports.
Implication – The implication is that strengthening the exchange rate increases export competitiveness. This happens because export products become more affordable for international consumers. The government needs to increase export competitiveness by strengthening the exchange rate by involving various strategies and policies.
Originality – This study contributes to analyzing shrimp exports in Indonesia using the Error Correction Model (ECM) method.

Published: August 2024

This study examined some essential indigenous woody plant species used by the rural people in three ecological zones of Taraba State in Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to identify and document the essential indigenous woody plants, the frequency of their harvest, and the methods employed for harvesting them. A multistage sampling design was used to stratify the study into three ecological zones: Northern Guinea Savanna (NGS), Southern Guinea Savanna (SGS), and Montane Forest (MF). Data collected were obtained using purposive sampling technique. Solvin’s formula was used to select 399 respondents (i.e., 133 in each ecological zone). Administration of semi-structured questionnaire was done using free listing method. All the data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that majority of the respondents were males (56%) and young persons (46%) who had traditional knowledge of the importance of available indigenous woody plant species. A total of 22 most essential indigenous woody plant species belonging to 18 families were identified to be used by the rural population in Taraba State. Majority of the respondents (69%) used risky and unsustainably destructive methods to harvest these species on a daily and annual basis, notably during the dry season (69%). Sustainability of these species is, therefore, recommended through proper education, afforestation and reforestation programs, sustainable harvesting methods, and management of indigenous woody plant species and forest ecosystems.

HappiGenius is a mindfulness-based social–emotional learning (SEL) program developed and initially deployed in the context of COVID-19. Novel features of the HappiGenius program include the use of behavioral practice and activities to enhance traditional classroom-based learning, the capability to teach in a remote setting, and a focus on internalizing behaviors in addition to traditionally targeted externalizing behaviors. A pilot study of four third-grade classrooms completed in the previous academic year showed promising results for improvements in students’ experience of positive affect, self-compassion, total difficulties, and prosocial behaviors. This quasi-experimental case-control study was conducted in 14 third-grade classrooms across four schools in a midsize Midwestern US city. We hypothesized that HappiGenius would lead to improvements in positive affect, self-compassion, and mindfulness, in addition to other social behaviors measured by quantitative standardized scales. We used qualitative methodology to determine whether HappiGenius was feasible and acceptable to teachers for use in the classroom. While there was no statistically significant change in positive affect, self-compassion, or mindfulness, there was meaningful improvement in student internalizing problems and peer problems. Analysis of qualitative data showed the importance of timing during the year to maximize classroom benefits like establishing behavioral expectations early and reducing problem behaviors. The study represents a step in the direction of evaluating the implementation and outcomes of a new social–emotional learning program developed with deliberate attention to internalizing problems alongside traditionally studied externalizing problems.

The role of surface air is pivotal within the framework of human livelihoods, necessitating a thorough examination of the potentiality inherent in surface water resources. This study aims to ascertain the estimations of surface runoff potential within Bantul Regency for the year 2020, serving as a watershed area, employing the Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) model grounded in ecoregion segmentation. Empirical data pertaining to spatial distribution of rainfall, soil types, and land use are meticulously analyzed to delineate hydrological soil group (HSG) and corresponding curve numbers (CN). The geospatial integration of these datasets is overlaid, facilitating landform mapping. Notably, the CN values are predicated upon three distinct Antecedent moisture conditions (AMC), delineated as AMC I, II, III denoting dry, normal, and wet conditions, respectively. The research findings reveal that surface runoff volume within Bantul Regency is predominantly concentrated within the landform expanse characterized as F2-Qmi, registering at 119,971,277.78 m3 during the rainy season and 376,473 m3 during the dry season. By contrast, the lowest runoff volume is observed in M1-Qa, amounting to 126,811.85 m3 during the rainy season and 0.61 m3 during the dry season. To ensure the availability of potential surface runoff influenced by various ecoregions, it is essential to conduct detailed mapping, implement ecosystem conservation, construct reservoirs in dry areas, and engage communities through education and supportive zoning policies for sustainable water management.

Spiritual Mental Development Concept and the Implications for Students
Authors: Khadavi Muhammad Jadid
Published: August 2024

Discourse on the concept of spiritual mental development and its implications for students is still very relevant in the current context. Many schools prioritize the achievement of students cognitive values, but pay little attention to the mental-spiritual aspect. As a result, many students have high grades but are unable to adapt to their social environment. This causes cases of juvenile delinquency and an increase in the number of unemployed. This research aims to analyze and discover the concept of spiritual mental development and its implications for students through a qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate that spiritual mental development is an educational institution's effort to produce graduates who have strong survival skills, are knowledgeable, have qualified skills and are based on a spiritual attitude based on Islamic values. Thus, spiritual mental development is very important to be applied in the school environment.

Variational Problem on Vibrations of Unequal-Thickness Rings and Its Application for Calculating Ultrasonic Vibration Concentrators
Authors: Stepanenko D. A. , Kindruk A. N.
Published: August 2024

The paper considers a method for calculating the natural frequencies of vibrations of unequal-thickness rings, based on application of Hamilton’s variational principle and theories of vibrations of curved beams of the Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko type. Solutions of the problem are represented as Fourier series providing possibility of its reduction to the system of linear algebraic equations. The problem of determining natural frequencies is reduced to a generalized problem for the eigenvalues of matrices. Based on a comparison of the numerical results obtained for an eccentric ring with the results of calculations by the finite element method, the advantages of using the Timoshenko theory are shown, including increased calculation accuracy and the possibility to identify radial and radial-flexural eigenmodes. The possibility of reducing computational costs when using the Timoshenko theory is explored by representing the determinant of the block matrix describing the problem as a product of lower-order determinants. It is shown that the relations obtained on the basis of the Euler-Bernoulli theory, in the particular case of equal-thickness ring, lead to the well-known analytical formulas for the natural frequencies of the ring oscillations. The obtained results can be used to calculate ring concentrators of ultrasonic vibrations. The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with other known approaches, for example, the harmonic balance me-thod, consists in no need for the work with differential or integral-differential equations of vibrations, which are a rather complex structure for the case of unequal-thickness rings and require the use of computationally expensive operations, for example, discrete convolution, for their solution.
Robust Anthropomorphic Robotic Manipulation through Biomimetic Distributed Compliance
Authors: Junge Kai , Hughes Josie
Published: August 2024

The impressive capabilities of humans to robustly perform manipulation relies on compliant interactions, enabled through the structure and materials spatially distributed in our hands. We propose by mimicking this distributed compliance in an anthropomorphic robotic hand, the open-loop manipulation robustness increases and observe the emergence of human-like behaviours. To achieve this, we introduce the ADAPT Hand equipped with tunable compliance throughout the skin, fingers, and the wrist. Through extensive automated pick-and-place tests, we show the grasping robustness closely mirrors an estimated geometric theoretical limit, while `stress-testing' the robot hand to perform 800+ grasps. Finally, 24 items with largely varying geometries are grasped in a constrained environment with a success rate of 93%. We demonstrate the hand-object self-organization behavior underlines this extreme robustness, where the hand automatically exhibits different grasp types depending on object geometries. Furthermore, the robot grasp type mimics a natural human grasp with a direct similarity of 68%.

Published: August 2024

African agriculture faces triple threats of climate change, population growth and inequality, necessitating agricultural research which examines sustainability holistically across social, economic, and environmental trade-offs. We examined meat quality from Botswana’s beef sector, by comparing management practices of feedlot finished beef versus free-range pasture management in three ways. First, we assessed competing but overlapping factors of environmental, economic, and social sustainability in the beef sector. Second, we used abattoir post-mortem examinations and compared 25 feedlot cattle and 22 free-range cattle across factors including: carcass dress mass (CDM), sex, carcass grade, fat color, conformation, dentition, carcass and offal postmortem decisions, and reasons for the decisions. We present a conceptual framework that portrays sustainability trade-offs between social, economic, and environmental factors, all constrained and influenced by geo- and socio-political and economic structures. Feedlot animals had a significantly higher CDM (p = 0.0001) at 237.56 kg ± 6.98 (Mean ± SEM) and higher incidences of lung, liver, and spleen condemnation rates at 72%, 40%, and 16% respectively compared to free-range cattle. Free-range CDM was 184.50kg ± 7.44 with higher (p = 0.0260) small and large tripe condemnation rate at (36%). Lastly, we examine sustainability trade-offs for feedlot and free-range cattle management through a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunity, and Threat (SWOT) analysis. With these nuanced research findings, one can envision multifaceted solutions to address cattle farming challenges in Botswana, including reducing disease burdens in feedlot cattle herds while also implementing pasture management and resiliency strategies for free-range cattle herds to improve animal nutrition and productivity.

Understanding interplay of breast cancer and microenvironment is critical. Here, we identified two transcriptomic subtypes and five immune infiltration patterns from RNA-seq and multiplex immunohistochemistry from 21 ER+/HER2- invasive lobular breast cancers. The proliferative subtype associated with increased immune infiltration especially by immunosuppressive regulatory T-cells and macrophages. We also defined a TAM-Low signature, which associated with lower infiltration of proliferative, pro-inflammatory TAM, and improved outcome in patients with ER+ tumors.

Introduction
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disorder that severely affects neurodevelopment, and its underlying causes are not yet entirely understood. Research suggests that there may be a connection between the occurrence of ASD and changes in immune responses. This study aims to know if some biochemical and inflammatory cytokines are promising biomarkers for ASD and whether they are involved in the pathogenesis of ASD.
Methods
The serum levels of CRP, TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-10, 1L-8, and IL-6 were measured in all of the patients (n=22) and in the healthy (n=12) children using ELISA method.
Results
The serum concentrations of IL-10, IL-8, and IL-6 were significantly lower in the ASD patients compared to the control group (p<0.05) and there were not significant differences between CRP, TNF-α, TGF-β, and IL-1β levels in two groups. There were positive correlations between CRP and IL-10 (r=0.554, CI:0.1475 to 0.8005, p=0.009), CRP and IL-8 (r=0.452, CI:0.0249 to 0.7400, p=0.0346), also IL-8 and IL-10 (r=0.507, CI:0.08350 to 0.7759, p=0.018) in ASD group. In contrast to the ASD patients, the correlation of IL-8 and IL-10 (r=0.231, CI: -0.4113 to 0.7202, p=0.466), CRP and IL-10 (r=-0.137, CI: -0.6696 to 0.4893, p=0.670), also CRP and IL-8 (r=0.007, CI: -0.5821 to 0.5913, p=0.991) were not significant in the control group.
Conclusion
The significantly decreased concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 in ASD patients, moreover the correlations among CRP, IL-8, and IL-10, may have a role in the pathogenesis of ASD and be considered as promising biomarkers for accurate diagnosis, prognostic prediction and effective treatment.

Age-related osteoporosis poses a significant challenge in musculoskeletal health; a condition characterized by reduced bone density and increased fracture susceptibility in older individuals necessitates a better understanding of underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms. Emerging evidence suggests that osteocytes are the pivotal orchestrators of bone remodeling and represent novel therapeutic targets for age-related bone loss. Our study uses the prematurely aged PolgD257A/D257A (PolgA) mouse model to scrutinize age- and sex-related alterations in musculoskeletal health parameters (frailty, grip strength, gait data), bone and particularly the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (LCN). Moreover, we introduced a novel staining method for undecalcified fresh frozen bone sections along with a new quantitative in silico image analysis pipeline to evaluate the alterations in the osteocyte network with aging. Our findings underscore the pronounced degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal health parameters, bone and osteocyte LCN in PolgA mice as early as 40 weeks with more prominent alterations evident in aged males. Our findings suggest that the PolgA mouse model serves as a valuable model for studying the cellular mechanisms underlying age-related bone loss, given the comparable aging signs and age-related degeneration of the bone and the osteocyte network observed in naturally aging mice and elderly humans.

Underrepresented populations' participation in clinical trials remains limited, and the potential impact of genomic variants on drug metabolism remains elusive. This study aimed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacogenomics (PGx) of ribociclib in self-identified Black women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2) advanced breast cancer. LEANORA (NCT04657679) was a prospective, observational, multicenter cohort study involving 14 Black women. PK and PGx were evaluated using tandem mass spectrometry and PharmacoScan™ microarray (including CYP3A5*3, *6, and *7). CYP3A5 phenotypes varied among participants: 7 poor metabolizers (PM), 6 intermediate metabolizers (IM), and one normal metabolizer (NM). The area-under-the-curve did not significantly differ between PMs (39,230 hr*ng/mL) and IM/NMs (43,546 hr*ng/mL; p = 0.38). The incidence of adverse events (AEs) was also similar. We found no association between CYP3A5 genotype and ribociclib exposure. Continued efforts are needed to include diverse populations in clinical trials to ensure equitable treatment outcomes.
Study of sexual dimorphism in growth traits of Sangari lambs: between-sex heritability and inter-sex correlations
Authors: Ehsaninia Jamshid , Zandi Mohammad Bagher
Published: August 2024

This research investigated the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of sexual dimorphism (SD) for body weights at birth (BW), weaning (WW), 6 months (6MW), 9 months (9MW), and 12 months (12MW) in Sangsari sheep. The records were retrieved from a dataset collected between 1986 and 2016 at the Sangsari sheep breeding station. The GLM method in the SAS program was applied to evaluate the environmental factors. The genetic analyses were accomplished using the AI-REML method of the WOMBAT software. Six bivariate animal models without or with maternal effects were used for genetic assessment traits in male and female lambs. Male lambs weighed more than female lambs and a weight difference of 0.21 kg (7.22%) at birth increased to 3.91 kg (13.95%) at yearling age. Levels of sexual dimorphism were relatively low and varied from 1.07 for BW to 1.16 for 12MW. For all traits except 12MW, \({{\sigma }}_{\text{a}}^{2}\), \({{\sigma }}_{\text{e}}^{2}\), \({{\sigma }}_{\text{P}}^{2}\), \({\text{h}}^{2}\), and \({\text{C}\text{V}}_{\text{a}}\) were higher in male lambs. Heritabilities for BW, 3MW, 6MW, and 9MW in male lambs were 3.18%, 4.53%, 24.05%, and 18.97% more than female lambs. For 12MW, the heritability of females was 23.83% more than males. Direct genetic correlations (rg) between the sexes ranged from 0.89 for 6MW to 1.00 for 9MW and 12MW, indicating that selection for body weight in males would result in a correlated response in females and consequently, would prevent phenotypic divergence. Cross-sex maternal permanent environment correlations (rpe) were 0.71 for 6MW and 0.98 for 3MW and 9MW. The values of rg and rpe for 6MW differed from 1.00, implying the presence of sexual dimorphism for additive genetic effects and maternal effects on 6MW.

Quantum vortices of light carrying orbital angular momentum stand as essential resources for quantum photonic technologies. Recent advancements in integrated photonics offer the potential to create and control quantum vortices using fully integrated circuits, eliminating the needs for intricate free-space alignment, modulation, and stabilization of bulky optical elements. However, generating quantum vortices in planar optical waveguides and circuits poses challenges, owing to the complexities of confining and guiding twisted photons, and importantly, the difficulties in preparing quantum superposition and entanglement of vortex states. Here, we report entangled quantum vortex emitters leveraging programmable integrated nanophotonic circuits. These circuits enable the generation and arbitrary control of resilient vortex-entanglement in free space, coherently converting from on-chip path-entanglement by a chip-free space interfacing technology. The emitters are plug-and-play, enabling swift reconfiguration within mere microseconds. Validation of multidimensional genuine entanglement is achieved through quantum tomography and dimension witnesses. Our work demonstrates integrated quantum vortex devices that combine the versatility of on-chip processing quantum information with the robustness of transmitting quantum vortices in free space, opening new avenues for applications in quantum communication, quantum light detection and ranging, quantum computation and storage.
Nitrate Removal from Drinking Water by Sodium Thiosulfate and its impact on health.
Authors: Salayma Adel
Published: August 2024

Nitrate is a stable and highly soluble ion with a low potential for precipitation or adsorption, nitrate is seldom present in geological formations and therefore contamination due to nitrate is mainly attributed to anthropogenic sources. Pollution of water resources by nitrate occurs due to many reasons which has effects on human health and environment so nitrate removal from drinking water is necessary. In this research nitrate removal is attempted by addition of sodium thiosulfate, 72% reduction in nitrate level was noticed when 1ml of 1.09% solution of sodium thiosulfate was added to 100 ml of polluted water after 30 minutes of contact time. Literature was reviewed to determine the effect of sodium thiosulfate on human health.
