Taking Action: Turning Evolutionary Theory into Preventive Policies
Authors: Molnár Orsolya , Knickel Marina , Marizzi Christine
Published: April 2023

The emerging infectious disease (EID) crisis has been challenging global health security for decades, dealing substantial damage to all socioeconomic landscapes. Control measures have failed to prevent or even mitigate damages from an accelerating wave of EIDs, leading to the emergence and devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the wake of the pandemic, we must critically review our public health policies and approaches. Current health security measures are based on the evolutionary theorem of host-parasite coevolution, which falsely deems EIDs as rare and unpredictable. The DAMA protocol (Document, Assess, Monitor, Act) is nested in a novel evolutionary framework that describes how emergence can be prevented before the onset of an outbreak. In this paper, we discuss the importance of establishing efficient communication channels between various stakeholders affected by EIDs. We describe implementation strategies for preventive interventions on global, regional, and local scales and provide guidelines for using such strategies in the relevant policy environments of human, livestock, and crop diseases.

archy and mehitabel
Authors: Marquis Don
Published: April 2023

Archy and Mehitabel are two inimitable characters — a philosophical cockroach who types out free verse correspondence by dive-bombing the keys and an insouciant feline dancer out to take life for all it is worth, ever the lady and “toujours gai.”

Created by Don Marquis and popularized in the New York Sun and New York Herald-Tribune 1916–1922, their best-loved exploits and musings are captured in this marvellous collection of 48 episodes, and illustrated with 29 cartoon drawings by George Herriman. Archy sees the universe at an entirely different angle, and humanity is measured against its miniature insect reflections. We meet cats and rats, spiders and flies, toads, robins, worms, a merry flea, a dissipated hornet, a froward lady bug, plus ghosts and echoes of dramatists, poets, historical figures, and the nightly denizens of the underworlds and alleys of New York, London, and gay Paris.

Humorist Don Marquis (1878–1937) was a novelist, poet, columnist, playwright, and author of more than 25 books. Cartoonist George Herriman (1880–1944) is best known as the creator of Krazy Kat.
An Experimental Study of Fast Greedy Algorithms for Fair Allocation Problems
Authors: Nguyen Trung Thanh , Nguyen Le Dang
Published: April 2023

This paper is concerned with two salient allocationproblems in fair division of indivisible goods, aiming atmaximizing egalitarian and Nash product social welfare.These problems are computationally NP-hard, meaning thatachieving polynomial time algorithms is impossible, unlessP = NP. Approximation algorithms, which return near-optimalsolution with a theoretical guarantee, have been widely usedfor tackling the problems. However, most of them are often ofhigh computational complexity or not easy to implement. It istherefore of great interest to explore fast greedy methods thatcan quickly produce a good solution. This paper presents anempirical study of the performance of several such methods.Interestingly, the obtained results show that fair allocationproblems can be practically approximated by greedy algorithms.Keywords: Fair allocation, exact algorithm, greedy algorithm,mixed-integer linear program, NP-hard.I. INTRODUCTIONIn this paper, we study the fair allocation problem, whichhas shown its growing interest during last decades, with awide range of real-world applications [1]. In short, this is acombinatorial optimization problem which asks to allocate???? discrete items amongst a set of ???? agents (or players)so as to meet a certain notion of fairness. It is assumedthat every item is “indivisible” and “non-sharable”, thatis, i) it cannot be broken in pieces before allocating toagents, and ii) it cannot be shared by two or more agents.For example, laptops and cell-phones are indivisible itemswhich agents might not want to share with others. Anallocation of items to agents is simply a partition of thewhole set of items into ???? disjoint subsets. There are up to???????? such partitions, making the solution space large enoughso that an exhaustive search for an optimal solution isimpossible.It now remains to define what a fair allocation is, aconcept that is of independent interest in the field ofEconomic and Social Choice Theory [2, 3]. In general, thereare many different ways of defining fairness, depending onparticular applications. The most common way is to eitheruse a so-called Collective Utility Function (CUF), which isa function for aggregating individual agents’ utilities in afair manner, or to follow an orthogonal method relying ondetermining the fair share of agents. Since we are focusingon the first method in this paper, we refer the reader tothe paper [4] and the references therein for more details ofthe second method. Suppose that every agent evaluates thevalue of items through a utility function, which maps eachsubset of items to a numerical value representing the utilityof the agent for the subset. Then, one can define a maxmin fair allocation to be the one that maximizes the

Published: April 2023

Various long non-coding RNAs have been shownto play crucial roles in different biological processes includingcell cycle control, transcription, translation, epigenetic regulation, splicing, differentiation, immune response and so forthin the human body. Discovering lncRNA-disease associationspromotes the awareness of human complex disease at molecular level and support the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of complex diseases. It is costly, laboratory and timeconsuming to discover and verify lncRNA-disease associationsby biological experiments. Therefore, it is crucial to develop acomputational method to predict lncRNA-disease associationsto save time and resources. In this paper, we proposed a newmethod to predict lncRNA-disease associations using multiplefeatures and deep learning. Our method uses a weighted????-nearest known neighbors algorithm as a pre-processingstep to eliminate the impact of sparsity data problem. Andit combines the linear and non-linear features extracted bysingular value decomposition and deep learning techniques,respectively, to obtain better prediction performance. Ourproposed method achieves a decisive performance with thebest AUC and AUPR values of 0.9702 and 0.8814, respectively,under LOOCV experiments. It is superior to other stateof-the-art SDLDA and NCPLDA methods in both AUC andAUPR evaluation metrics. It could be considered as a powerfultool to predict lncRNA-disease associations.

Published: April 2023

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common epithelial malignancies of multifactorial etiology linked with considerable mortality and morbidity. Generally, OSCC arises from pre-existing oral lesions quoted as oral potentially malignant disorders. Early diagnosis of OSCC is an attractive strategy to increase the survival rate of patients. Despite the accessibility of prominent diagnostic tools, many factors restrain the successful application of these approaches. The discovery of novel alternative methods to diagnose cancer definitively with higher selectivity and sensitivity has aroused scientific interest. Metabolomics is an unbiased analytical approach for qualitative and quantitative analyses of different metabolites in cells, tissues, or biological fluids and their alterations in response to pathophysiological stimuli. Several coupled techniques, together with chromatographic platforms, have facilitated metabolic profiling and, at the same time, detected cancer biomarkers, which are crucial for an effective treatment process. This overview discusses some of the most recent technological advances in metabolomics and focuses on their application to reveal the underlying causes of OSCC and their potential implications for personalised medicine.
A METHODICAL APPROACH TO FORECASTING THE CONSUMPTION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY THEIR MAIN TYPES
Authors: Maliarenko O.Ye. , Maistrenko N.Yu.
Published: April 2023

The article presents the development of a mathematical model for forecasting the demand for petroleum products using a comprehensive method for forecasting the consumption of petroleum products by individual types. The mathematical model allows forecasting the consumption of petroleum products in the country (TOP-level) and types of economic activity (DOWN-level) for transportation and conversion into electrical and thermal energy. The purpose of the research is the development of a methodical approach to forecasting the consumption of petroleum products with the determination of the forecast structure of the consumption of petroleum products by types using a mathematical model of forecasting energy consumption using a comprehensive method. Determining forecast volumes by individual types of oil products gives a greater discrepancy between forecast and actual data than forecasting oil products together. The forecast volume of oil product consumption is calculated to draw up the country's forecast energy balance. The forecast is determined in two stages: 1) forecasting of the total volume of consumption of petroleum products by country and aggregated types of economic activity, 2) forecasting of the structure of consumption of petroleum products by their main types. This approach is due to the fact that the structure of petroleum fuel consumption changes significantly depending on the prices of fuel and vehicles. To forecast the consumption of the main types of petroleum products, an analysis of statistical data for the retrospective period was used and the trends of their consumption were taken into account, as well as the realities of today: the war on the territory of Ukraine, the destruction of the industrial and energy infrastructure, which will require restoration for a long time. The provided forecasts will make it possible to assess the country’s need for certain types of petroleum fuel, to determine the sufficient volumes of own production and the necessary volumes of oil product imports.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STATE OF AGGREGATIVE EQUILIBRIUM, THE RHEOLOGY OF GRAPHITE-CONTAINING COMPOSITIONS AND THE ELECTROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CONDUCTIVE COATINGS BASED ON THEM
Authors: Moraru V.N.
Published: April 2023

The influence of the chemical nature and concentration of the stabilizers (surfactants and water-soluble polymer) on the aggregative stability and rheological behavior of graphite-containing compositions, as well as on the quality and electrophysical properties of conductive coatings based on them, was studied. It is shown that the state of aggregative equilibrium in graphite-containing composite systems strongly affects the rheology of the compositions and the electrophysical properties of the corresponding conductive coatings. Established correlations between the state of aggregative equilibrium and the rheological and electrosurface parameters of aqueous graphite-containing compositions make it possible to purposefully regulate the structure and properties of conductive coatings based on them.

Authors: Raju Md Raihan Iqbal , Junaki Merina , Hossain Mohd Talim
Published: April 2023

An experiment was performed to establish a suitable regeneration protocol for the rapid propagation of Piper nigrum L. using nodal segments and leaf tissues as explants through direct and indirect organogenesis. After surface sterilization, several types of explant were inoculated onto gelled MS medium containing various concentrations and combinations of growth regulators for callus and direct shoot induction. The highest callus induction frequency was 92% and 84% in the case of leaf tissues and nodal segments, respectively, in gelled MS medium containing 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D. Multiple shoots (6.43±0.35 shoots per unit callus) were obtained when the calli from both explant types were cultured on MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l BAP. Nodal segments showed the best result (85%) in terms of direct shoot induction in MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BAP, where the highest number of shoots per explant was 5.03±0.69. The directly induced shoots were multiplied and elongated on MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l IBA, the number and length of regenerated shoots per culture being 6.07±0.39 and 5.84±0.65 cm, respectively. The best response to root induction (86.67%) was observed when shoots were transferred to ½ strength of gelled MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l IBA within 16-24 days, with 13.60±1.76 roots per shoot unit. The well-rooted shoots were successfully acclimated in a mixture of soil, sand, and compost (1:1:1) with a survival rate of 88%.

THE FORMATION OF CHINA’S DIPLOMACY AND ITS FEATURES
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, LIU XIAO , LIU ZHAOYI
Published: April 2023

The authors of this study aim to highlight the features of the formation of Chinese diplomacy and the formation of China’s foreign policy in modern times. The authors analyze three periods of the formation of the diplomacy of the People’s Republic of China - “diplomacy of peaceful liberation” (1921-1949), “diplomacy of peaceful coexistence” (1949-1979) and “diplomacy of peaceful development” (from 1979 to our time). The conclusions reached by the authors indicate that China’s diplomacy developed in a unique way and undoubtedly reflected the historical changes that took place with the state. All three stages have had an important impact on the formation of Chinese diplomacy, bringing their own nuances to the modern diversity. Thus, among the most important areas can be distinguished - economic diplomacy, multilateral diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, cooperation and protection of the main national interests, that is, the foundations that emerged due to the historical transformation of the state. According to the authors, solving problems and improving the country’s image will remain an important characteristic of Chinese diplomacy, especially in its relations with other major powers. In cooperation with other major powers, China is likely to be more active in solving fundamental global problems at the strategic level. China does not seek to change the international system, rather, it intends to be a responsible participant in world affairs. As China’s identity becomes more global and regional, the current concept of multilateralism in China’s overall diplomatic strategy may be revised to realize national interests, resolve complex issues and ensure governance in an era of instability and turbulence.

NATIONALIZING TYPE OF NATIONALISM: SPECIFIC CHALLENGES OF STATE BUILDING IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Political Science and Religious Studies at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan, BULUKTAEV YURY
Published: April 2023

The purpose of the article is to explore the issues of establishing and strengthening the national sovereignty of Kazakhstan in the context of the specific challenges of state building, which include the problems of ethnocultural integration. The policy of the state on the cultural integration of ethnic groups on the basis of the Kazakh language and culture is revealed in the context of the dominance of the Russian language as the basis of cultural integration in modern Kazakhstan. To this end, the analysis is based on the nationalizing state methodology of Rogers Brubaker. Findings. The national integration of Kazakhstan according to its post-Soviet model is carried out as a balance of ethnic and civil nation. In the context of national policy for state building in Kazakhstan, the cultural and linguistic Kazakhization of ethnic groups and the Russification model of cultural integration of ethnic groups are of priority importance. The fundamental importance of the cultural integration of ethnic groups based on the Kazakh language and culture as one of the aspects of national integration is justified by the fact that without it, the national construction of Kazakhstan is incomplete. Kazakhization of demographic processes has already changed the ethnic image of the country, but its impact on the socio-cultural environment will not be so fast and far from unambiguous. The state in its national policy seeks to prevent the escalation of inter-ethnic contradictions into political conflicts. Politicization of ethnicity in Kazakhstan is unacceptable.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the features of political modernization in traditional societies on the example of the North Caucasus. The main attention is paid to contradictions and factors that generate crises of political modernization. The conditions of the modernization process, the structural components of traditional societies are revealed, the types of crises accompanying the modernization process are characterized, the factors that determine the success of modernization in transforming societies are analyzed. This article also attempts to delve into the essence of the specifics of political modernization in the North Caucasus. The author examines the problem of modernization through the prism of political, socio-economic, cultural and other features of the region, which are deeply interconnected and have common roots. The author concludes that the success of democratic transit depends on the presence in society of a mature social base, structured civil society institutions, an effective multiparty system, which, due to various circumstances, have not developed in the North Caucasus. An equally important factor hindering modernization in this region is the polyethnicity and multi-confessional society characteristic of the North Caucasus. Religion, which has a fairly strong position in the region, has a significant influence on political processes. The article also examines the role of ethnic elites, whose activities determine the specifics of relations in society.

NATION, PEOPLE, POPULATION: “NATIONAL” POLITICAL FORM OF CIVIL SOCIETY
Authors:   Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov, Belgorod, Russian Federation, MALTSEV KONSTANTIN , ALAVERDYAN ARTEM ,   Belgorog Technical School of Industry and Services, Belgorod, Russian Federation
Published: April 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze the “story of the history of the emergence of European nations” as a historical narrative; the variability of “told stories” presented in the form of scientific sociological discourses reveals significant “ambiguities” (E. Balibar) in the representation of the nation, which provides material (objects) for subject thematization in scientific research. The task is to identify and determine the conditions for the possibility of a consistent representation of the nation and the principle of its structure. The second part of the analysis of the narrative history of the emergence and formation of European nations focuses on M. Foucault’s statement that “a nation is one of the forms of civil society”. It is revealed that the political community of the “nation” as an actor of the revolutionary struggle is defined in the “discourse of war”; the population as an object of “police care of the state» in the managerial paradigm is attributed the freedom of rational pursuit of particular interests, that is, the right to «public use of freedom” (I. Kant) within the framework defined in this way; the institution of such freedom is called “civil society”; the nation is presented as a form of unity (together with the state, on whose behalf the narrative of the nation is built), restraining the “centrifugal” of particular interests. It is concluded that the nation is presented as an intermediary between citizens and the political order of a liberal state.

Methods. The analysis of domestic monographs was carried out. The domestic and foreign articles on eLibrary and PubMed within the last 20 years were analyzed. The articles with an incomplete selection criteria and statistically unreliable results (p < 0.05) were excluded.

Results. Though the measurements of reflex accommodation indicators by subjective methods are consistent with each other, they are overestimated compared to the results of objective studies. Among the objective methods, special attention should be paid to the open-field autorefractometers as they level possible instrumental accommodation that is typical for the closed-field autorefractometers. Regarding this, it is necessary to clarify the methods used in the studies of this direction. By taking into account the indicators of reflex accommodation for assessing pathological conditions and treatment results, it is necessary to consider relative (i. e., comparative) measurement values but not absolute ones.

Conclusion. The analysis of literature sources showed that the modern approaches of reflex accommodation study were very different. The methods discussed in this review are suitable for both clinical and scientific practice application. However, a mandatory reference to the method used is required for a correct assessment of results.

Abstract: Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD) deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by an unpredictable pattern of presentation and a wide phenotypic spectrum. DLD is a common constituent of multiple mitochondrial complexes. It is also known as E3 (dihydrolipoamide: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.8.1.4). DLD, encoded by the DLD gene, is vital for catalysis. Thus, genetically induced deficiency of the enzyme, although very rare, is associated with failure to thrive, hypotonia, and metabolic acidosis [1,2]. 

In this report, we present the case of a 12-year-old Lebanese boy with a homozygous mutation in the DLD gene: c.685G>T p. Gly229Cys, who presented with liver failure, hyperammonemia, and encephalopathy. Genetic testing of his sibling revealed homozygosity for the same pathogenic variant.

Das politische System Deutschlands
Authors: Marschall Stefan
Published: April 2023

Das Buch führt in ein Kerngebiet der Politikwissenschaft und der politischen Bildung ein. Es vermittelt im Textbook-Format auf didaktisch-eingängigem Weg grundlegende Kenntnisse über das politische System der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Es verbindet diese Kenntnisvermittlung mit der Einführung in relevante wissenschaftliche Theorien und Debatten.
In den zwölf Kapiteln werden die zentralen Akteure des politischen Systems (u.a. Medien, Parteien, Bundestag, Bundeskanzler) ebenso behandelt wie wichtige strukturelle Facetten (u.a. Föderalismus, Europäisierung). In den jeweiligen Kapiteln dient das Demokratiekonzept als gemeinsamer Ausgangspunkt (z.B. »Verbändedemokratie«, »Kanzlerdemokratie«). Damit wird immer wieder auch die Frage nach der Legitimation und etwaigen Legitimationsproblemen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland aufgeworfen. Am Ende des Buches steht die Zukunftsfähigkeit der deutschen Demokratie im Fokus.
Von seiner Gestaltung her richtet sich der Band an Studierende in den ersten Semestern. Aber auch jenseits der Verwendung in der universitären Lehre kann das Buch, da es für Einsteiger in die Thematik gedacht ist, seine Leserinnen und Leser finden – überall dort, wo im Rahmen der politischen (Aus-)Bildung Einblicke in die Funktionsweise und Funktionsprobleme des bundesdeutschen politischen Systems vermittelt werden sollen.

Background: the knowledge of the nucleic acid state before start to molecular detection have a great importance to make a math measurements by which the nucleic acid quantity and quality will be knows.
Objective: Conventional methods have limitations for extracting amplifiable DNA from specimens containing a small number of cells. DNA quality and quantity was evaluated by β-globin amplification and Nanodrop instrument respectively. DNA extraction from FFPT has become essential for molecular research specially with advances in molecular technology.
Methodology: The current study tested breast cancer FFPT specimens of Iraqi women which collected from AL-Sader teaching hospital histopathology and neoplasm units , and several privet histopathology labs in AL-Najaf province, the specimens were stored for the years (2008,2009,2010 and 2011). The specimens were included of BC 54 , fibroadenoma 21, mastitis 18, and ductectesia 19 samples.
Results: Specific primers were used to detect the activity of beta-globin gene by PCR technique and the results appeared that The mean of DNA quantity was (61.68 ng/ul) while the DNA extract quality which appeared positive by β-glubine PCR was 71.42% (80 of 112), BC 70.37% (38 of 54), fibroadenoma 85.71% (18 of 21), mastitis 77.77% (14 of 18) and ductectesia 52.63 % (10 of 19), there was a significant difference ( p<0.5). The beta-globin PCR appeared different results depending on the DNA stats.
Conclusions: the evaluation of the extracted DNA by Nanodrop system and beta-globin gene is the easiest and definite method compared with other researchers who worked of other evaluation methods.
Recommendations: This study recommends that every study performed on DNA should be started with beta-globin testing to avoid false negative results caused by degraded DNA.

Published: April 2023

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common condition in children. Approximately 1 in 10 girls and 1 in 30 boys will have a UTI by the age of 16 years . Renal scarring as a result of UTI may lead to hypertension, decreased renal function, provsteinuria and end-stage renal disease. This is especially true if the condition is not diagnosed, investigated and managed appropriately. However, UTI in children is a most challenging condition to treat in primary care because symptoms can be minimal in the early stages
Objectives: The aim of the study was to determining the prevalence of UTI's among the secondary schools students in urban and rural areas in Erbil .
Methodology: A descriptive study were carried out at two public secondary schools in Erbil city. During 1st Oct. 2010 to 30th June. 2011. A randomly sample size of 200 students was selected of urban and rural areas in Erbil ,the data was collected by special form and analyzed through the use of statistical package sciences (Spss 15).
Results: The present study found that the prevalence of UTI among female were higher (76.1%) in urban than in rural area (57%) in reversely to UTI among males students which is higher in rural area (45.3%) than males in urban area (23.9%), while roles of prevention in urban and rural area found that the large numbers of students in urban area were preventing themselves by hand washing (68.5%).
Conclusions: Significant difference was found between rural and urban area, age factors were initially to be responsible for the difference in prevalence.
Recommendation: Secondary school's students need for greater education and healthcare providers regarding the prevention of UTI .
