Authors: Abuasbeh Kinda , Shafqat Ramsha , Alsinai Ammar , Awadalla Muath
Published: January 2023

This work investigates a mathematical fractional-order model that depicts the Caputo growth of a new coronavirus (COVID-19). We studied the existence and uniqueness of the linked solution using the fixed point theory method. Using the Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM), we explored the precise solution of our model and obtained results that are stated in terms of infinite series. Numerical data were then used to demonstrate the use of the new derivative and the symmetric structure that we created. When compared to the traditional order derivatives, our results under the new hypothesis show that the innovative coronavirus model performs better.
Mycotoxin Contamination in Hazelnut: Current Status, Analytical Strategies, and Future Prospects
Authors: Salvatore Maria Michela , Andolfi Anna , Nicoletti Rosario
Published: January 2023

Hazelnuts represent a potential source of mycotoxins that pose a public health issue due to their increasing consumption as food ingredients worldwide. Hazelnuts contamination by mycotoxins may derive from fungal infections occurring during fruit development, or in postharvest. The present review considers the available data on mycotoxins detected in hazelnuts, on fungal species reported as infecting hazelnut fruit, and general analytical approaches adopted for mycotoxin investigation. Prompted by the European safety regulation concerning hazelnuts, many analytical methods have focused on the determination of levels of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and total aflatoxins. An overview of the available data shows that a multiplicity of fungal species and further mycotoxins have been detected in hazelnuts, including anthraquinones, cyclodepsipeptides, ochratoxins, sterigmatocystins, trichothecenes, and more. Hence, the importance is highlighted in developing suitable methods for the concurrent detection of a broad spectrum of these mycotoxins. Moreover, control strategies to be employed before and after harvest in the aim of controlling the fungal contamination, and in reducing or inactivating mycotoxins in hazelnuts, are discussed.
Medical Countermeasures against Ricin Intoxication
Authors: Rasetti-Escargueil Christine , Avril Arnaud
Published: January 2023

Ricin toxin is a disulfide-linked glycoprotein (AB toxin) comprising one enzymatic A chain (RTA) and one cell-binding B chain (RTB) contained in the castor bean, a Ricinus species. Ricin inhibits peptide chain elongation via disruption of the binding between elongation factors and ribosomes, resulting in apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage, in addition to the classically known rRNA damage. Ricin has been used in traditional medicine throughout the world since prehistoric times. Because ricin toxin is highly toxic and can be readily extracted from beans, it could be used as a bioweapon (CDC B-list). Due to its extreme lethality and potential use as a biological weapon, ricin toxin remains a global public health concern requiring specific countermeasures. Currently, no specific treatment for ricin intoxication is available. This review focuses on the drugs under development. In particular, some examples are reviewed to demonstrate the proof of concept of antibody-based therapy. Chemical inhibitors, small proteins, and vaccines can serve as alternatives to antibodies or may be used in combination with antibodies.
Urban Design Solutions for the Environmental Requalification of Informal Neighbourhoods: The George Dimitrov Neighbourhood, Maputo
Authors: Salamagy Hazrat Bilale , Alves Fernando Brandão , do Vale Clara Pimenta
Published: January 2023

The current dimension of informal settlements in Maputo requires the definition of action models framed by empirical evidence, taking advantage of pre-existing socio-spatial and environmental conditions to define physical interventions through sustainable urban design strategies, with a view to their physical (and socio-economic) upgrading. Thus, this paper highlights the potential of urban design in the environmentally sustainable upgrading of Maputo’s informal neighbourhoods. This article aimed to develop sustainable and resilient urban design proposals and identify strategies capable of guiding the future process of physical territorial transformation towards a more sustainable model. Methodologically, a literature review was undertaken for the purpose of understanding the issues related to the theme and the general characteristics of informal neighbourhoods, as well as for exploring a case study: the George Dimitrov Neighbourhood. It was concluded that the current fabric of informal settlements possesses physical characteristics which facilitate the application of sustainable and responsive urban design strategies for the requalification of these deprived areas. Despite the marked difference between the spatial configurations of informal neighbourhoods and those of formal cities, it is possible to increase the level of resilience and sustainability of informal settlements through surgical and deep solutions, anchored on the particularities of the existing fabric.
Change in Rotavirus Vaccine Coverage in Brazil from before (2015–2019) through the COVID-19 Pandemic Period (2020–2021)
Authors: Barros Larissa , Barros Luana , do Carmo Rodrigo , Santos Márcio , da Costa Armstrong Anderson , de Vasconcelos Rebeca , de Souza Carlos
Published: January 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a reduction in vaccination coverage of children and adolescents was observed in several countries. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the pandemic, in the first two years, on human rotavirus vaccine (HRV) coverage in Brazil compared with previous years. The number of doses of HRV administered in the period from January 2015 to December 2021 and its annual vaccination coverage were analyzed. The vaccination coverage decreased to 77.3% in 2020 and to 70.4% in 2021, substantially lower than the minimum that would be expected (89.2%); the decline was more pronounced in the second year of the pandemic despite the fact that in this period, the circulation restrictions were already less tight. Of the five Brazilian macro-regions, the northeast had the largest decline, and the south had the smallest impact on coverage. At the municipal level, less than half of the Brazilian municipalities managed to achieve vaccination coverage above 90% in either pandemic year. Although there was already a downward trend in coverage in the pre-pandemic years, the present study shows that the values recorded in 2020 and 2021 were significantly lower. Monitoring of vaccination coverage in the coming years should be carried out continuously in order to avoid a possible resurgence of rotavirus-induced diarrhea.

Published: January 2023

Groundwater is an essential source of water especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The demand for water due to exponential increase in population has created stresses on available groundwater resources. Further, climate change has affected the quantity of water globally. Many parts of Indian cities are experiencing water scarcity. Thus, assessment of groundwater potential is necessary for sustainable utilization and management of water resources. We utilized a novel ensemble approach using artificial neural network multi-layer perceptron (ANN-MLP), random forest (RF), M5 prime (M5P) and support vector machine for regression (SMOReg) models for assessing groundwater potential in the Parbhani district of Maharashtra in India. Ten site-specific influencing factors, elevation, slope, aspect, drainage density, rainfall, water table depth, lineament density, land use land cover, geomorphology, and soil types, were integrated for preparation of groundwater potential zones. The results revealed that the largest area of the district was found under moderate category GWP zone followed by poor, good, very good and very poor. Spatial distribution of GWP zones showed that Poor GWPZs are spread over north, central and southern parts of the district. Very poor GWPZs are mostly found in the north-western and southern parts of the district. The study calls for policy implications to conserve and manage groundwater in these parts. The ensembled model has proved to be effective for assessment of GWP zones. The outcome of the study may help stakeholders efficiently utilize groundwater and devise suitable strategies for its management. Other geographical regions may find the methodology adopted in this study effective for groundwater potential assessment.

Application of Internet of Things to Agriculture—The LQ-FieldPheno Platform: A High-Throughput Platform for Obtaining Crop Phenotypes in Field
Authors: Fan Jiangchuan , Li Yinglun , Yu Shuan , Gou Wenbo , Guo Xinyu , Zhao Chunjiang
Published: January 2023

The lack of efficient crop phenotypic measurement methods has become a bottleneck in the field of breeding and precision cultivation. However, high-throughput and accurate phenotypic measurement could accelerate the breeding and improve the existing cultivation management technology. In view of this, this paper introduces a high-throughput crop phenotype measurement platform named the LQ-FieldPheno, which was developed by China National Agricultural Information Engineering Technology Research Centre. The proposed platform represents a mobile phenotypic high-throughput automatic acquisition system based on a field track platform, which introduces the Internet of Things (IoT) into agricultural breeding. The proposed platform uses the crop phenotype multisensor central imaging unit as a core and integrates different types of equipment, including an automatic control system, upward field track, intelligent navigation vehicle, and environmental sensors. Furthermore, it combines an RGB camera, a 6-band multispectral camera, a thermal infrared camera, a 3-dimensional laser radar, and a deep camera. Special software is developed to control motions and sensors and to design run lines. Using wireless sensor networks and mobile communication wireless networks of IoT, the proposed system can obtain phenotypic information about plants in their growth period with a high-throughput, automatic, and high time sequence. Moreover, the LQ-FieldPheno has the characteristics of multiple data acquisition, vital timeliness, remarkable expansibility, high-cost performance, and flexible customization. The LQ-FieldPheno has been operated in the 2020 maize growing season, and the collected point cloud data are used to estimate the maize plant height. Compared with the traditional crop phenotypic measurement technology, the LQ-FieldPheno has the advantage of continuously and synchronously obtaining multisource phenotypic data at different growth stages and extracting different plant parameters. The proposed platform could contribute to the research of crop phenotype, remote sensing, agronomy, and related disciplines.

FRAME STRUCTURE DESIGN AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CORN COMBINE HARVESTER FOR HILLS AND MOUNTIANS
Authors: ZHAO Zhu , WANG Zhongnan , ZHAO Bintong , SONG Yuqiu , XIN Mingjin
Published: January 2023

In view of high center of gravity and poor stability of traditional corn harvesters, a corn combine harvester frame is designed for hill and mountain operations based on TRIZ theory. The frame supports engine mode of middle engine rear drive, consisting of a front frame and a rear frame. The tail of the front frame is welded under the head of the rear frame. The front frame has reduced height and increased width to allow lower center of gravity and better stability of the whole machine. The left and right longitudinal beams of the front frame have different heights to allow better trafficability of the whole machine. A 3D model is established using Solidworks software and incorporated with ANSYS software to perform finite element analysis and modal analysis on the frame. It turns out that under full-load bending and full-load torsion conditions, the frame strength and stiffness meet the mechanical performance requirements, and the frame displays fine dynamic characteristics. According to the analysis results, the frame is optimized under the goal of light weight. While the frame strength and stiffness requirements are met, the frame mass is lowered by changing the frame component thickness. After optimization, the entire frame volume is reduced by 14.27%, with mass reduced by 14.3%, and the strength and stiffness conform to the requirements, thus achieving lightweight optimization of the frame.Moreover, The stability analysis of the corn combine harvester shows the overturning angle of uphill is 45.3°, the overturning angle of downhill is 45.7°, and the overturning angle of slopel is 40.2°.

Toward 2D grating coupler enabled O-band coherent links based on SiGe photonic electronic technology
Authors: Zimmermann Lars , Seiler Pascal M. , Mai Christian , Georgieva Galina
Published: January 2023

Coherent techniques for short reach intra-datacenter optical interconnects are currently intensely discussed. This article reports progress on previous work that analyzed the benefits of switching from C- to O-band optics with regard to digital signal processing. Here we study the feasibility of adapting a coherent approach to an established datacenter interconnect technology (PSM4). This PSM4-like implementation brings about the benefit of much improved resilience to laser drift, thus reducing or eliminating the need for a temperature stabilized laser, which is typically assumed a requirement for coherent transceivers. The analysis rests on simulation parameters derived in part from previous experimental realizations of coherent receivers in SiGe photonic BiCMOS technology. In addition, we make use of recent results regarding the optimization of O-band 2D grating couplers with respect to efficiency and low polarization dependence over a 20 nm wavelength window. We identify such couplers as enabling building blocks for coherent PSM4-like implementations.
From the Pseudo-environment to the Meta-verse
Authors: D'Alessandro Simone
Published: January 2023

The social sciences have been investigating the processes of public opinion formation since the second half of the 19th century. From Tocqueville to Le Bon, from Toennies to Allport, from Lazarsfeld to Habermas, from Niklas Luhmann to Pierre Bourdieu, from Noelle-Neumann to Landowski. Among these authors, Lippmann stands out for his theoretical-practical orientation that anticipated themes and methodologies. Exactly one hundred years ago, in his best-known work Public Opinion (Lippmann 1922) he had opened the way to the inevitability of the construction of a world 'beyond the real', through the concept of 'pseudo-environment'.

The need for representation determines 'pseudo-environments', interstitial realities made up of stereotyped images and contents that the public interprets to construct shared imaginaries that do not adhere to reality: “The world outside and the picture in your head” (Lippmann 1992: 3).

Pseudo-environments enable decision-making and action, reducing complexity (Luhmann e De Giorgi 1992). This phenomenon anticipates the paradigm of hyper-reality, in the sense of Braudillard (1985), but also that of Second Life and the Meta-verse in the sense of Stephenson (1992).

Starting from Lippmann’s vision, this proposed paper intends to recontextualize his thought in the light of the most recent theories of communication.
Determinants of Farmers' Participation in the Agricultural Sector Support Project for the Adoption of Improved Technology in Traditional Poultry Farming: Evidence from Rural Togo
Authors: Soviadan Mawussi Kossivi , Enete Anselm Anibueze , Okoye Chukwuemeka Uzoma , Kubik Zaneta
Published: January 2023

The adoption of improved technologies in agriculture has been shown to improve incomes, reduce poverty and contribute to rural development in many developing nations. In Togo, the Agricultural Sector Support Project (PASA) assists smallholder farmers in the adoption of the Improved Technology in Traditional Poultry Farming (ITTPF) in rural areas as a means of increasing smallholder incomes, enhancing food security and reducing poverty. However, the adoption rate is currently below expectations, especially given the promise it holds not only from an economic perspective but also from a broad environmental sustainability viewpoint since poultry manure can be used as a necessary input in smallholder farms. In this study, we examine the factors associated with the participation of farmers in PASA for the adoption of ITTPF in Togo. Our analysis covers 400 smallholder households in the 23 districts of Togo and employs Logit model with Probit model as robustness check. We find different socio-economic constraints and enablers of participation in PASA. Particularly, level of education, household size, membership in cooperative societies, hatching rate of eggs, farm size, average annual sale of poultry and self-financing capacity were positively and significantly related to the participation of farmers in PASA. The findings are robust to alternative specifications such as Probit model. Based on the findings, we argue that participation in agricultural innovation and development programs depends on the information accessible to farmers. One medium to improve information access could be agricultural cooperatives and extension services since they provide informal education, training, and access to productive inputs for farming and marketing purposes. Our findings suggest the need for agricultural policies which promote farmer organizations such as agricultural cooperatives coupled with effective extension services to enable the adoption of improved agricultural technologies.

Narrative Jurisprudence and Trans-National Justice
Authors: Ward Ian
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this article is to explore this consonance in greater detail, and then to present two more particular examples of this narrative and poethic "strategy." The first example is given by two attempts to provide some kind of juristic redress for the various atrocities suffered across southeast Europe during the successive Balkan wars of the 1990s. The second approaches the broader, and no less contemporary, experience of trans-national terrorism. In the first instance, the form of narrative, on both occasions, is that of a chronicle-a piece of extended journalism. In the second instance, the narrative is a more familiar piece of literature, a canon indeed of the modern novel-two rather different texts, but one common aspiration.
When Hercules Met the Happy Prince: Re-Imagining the Judge
Authors: Rackley Erika
Published: January 2023

Although often dismissed as a myth, the image of the judge as a Herculean superhero whose mission is to apply the law in a straightforward way retains a tenacious grip on our understandings of the judge and judging. The relationship between Oscar Wilde's Happy Prince and Hercules is one of uncomfortable similarity and difference. Like the Happy Prince, the Herculean judge who inhabits the legal imagination stands alone high upon Mount Olympus invisibly clothed with the appearance of neutrality and objectivity, our infatuation with this aesthetic image securing his position and role, his imposed beauty mirroring the golden facade of the Happy Prince. Yet, increasingly this image of the Herculean judge, like that of the Happy Prince toward the end of his story, is perceived to be somewhat shabby and in need of renovation. However, unlike Hercules, stripped of his aesthetic facade, the Happy Prince retains his appeal. Although this is not traditionally part of the Herculean myth, can we not look for it nevertheless? At the very least, we might seize the opportunity presented by Hercules's apparent need for renovation to envisage a judge with an appeal not dissimilar to Wilde's statue, to consider the importance of empathy and connection in judgment and, in so doing, begin to reimagine the judge.
Why Is Fairness ‘Grubby’? - Semantics, Etymology, and Perspectives in Dispute Resolution
Authors: Wilson Barbara , Wilson Alastair
Published: January 2023

Delivering judgment in the House of Lords in the case of White v White (subsequently a leading legal precedent in this jurisdiction) Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead famously opined: "Features which are important when assessing fairness differ in each case. And, sometimes, different minds can reach different conclusions on what fairness requires. Then fairness, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder."
His Lordship's comment in this landmark divorce appeal is interesting in the context of this paper, which is written from the perspective of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) practice, specifically that of family mediation. The authors set out to provide a very brief overview of certain relevant case law, considerations of ideologies of law and ADR, and some of the concerns around mediation. Whether what constitutes fairness and justice is influenced-or even deter mined-by the etymology of these terms is then considered. The paper concludes that, incorporating this and earlier academic work related to group processes, clients' perceptions of "fairness" can be addressed and maximized within the mediation process. An increased understanding of these concepts might in turn benefit mediation practitioners in the conduct of their work.
Following in part the earlier lead of Birke and Fox, who alerted practitioners and legal scholars to the psychological principles most relevant to legal negotiation, this paper also offers synthesized elements which may inform negotiation, specifically mediation or ADR practice. The elements discussed are drawn from the linguistics field as well as from certain psychological perspectives and data. In this our purpose is to offer material which may assist and inform practitioners while recognizing, along with Birke and Fox, the necessarily speculative nature of some aspects of a work of this nature.
Agencies of Slavery: The Exploitation of Migrant Workers by Recruitment Agencies
Authors: Dewhurst Elaine
Published: January 2023

This paper has been led by the desire to reinstate the concept of real consent back into the discourse on migration and the recruitment process. An examination of the concept of recruitment for employ ment and of recruitment agencies will reveal the important role such intermediaries play in the international migration process. This will be followed by a brief description of both the international and national regulations presently governing recruitment agencies. The experience of Ireland and its recent unique encounters with international migration for employment will be used as a case study to demonstrate the types of obstacles that prevent real consensual recruitment for employment. The lack of regulation at an international and national level causes these obstacles. It is this author's opinion that certain measures are more effective than international action in this regard due to the inevitable flexibility and compromise inherent in international law. It is only when such obstacles are removed that real consent can finally be reinstated back into the lives of those migrating for employment, allowing the development of an open, transparent, and exploitation free recruitment process.
Handling Capital Cases Dealing with the Media
Authors: Wilson Sharen , Stevens Kent Cynthia
Published: January 2023

Perhaps all that needs to be said on the issue of media and trials is People v. O.J. Simpson. The lessons of that trial are obvious. The trial judge is directly and personally responsible for maintaining the dignity and decorum of the courtroom proceedings. The media's interests do not involve issues of fair trial and due process. Rather, the media's interests involve issues of public information, ratings, and financial benefits from coverage of a particular trial. Further, when dealing with media coverage, the attorney should determine how media coverage might affect the resolution of the client's case and how he or she can appropriately deal with a capital case so as to protect the client and the integrity of our system of justice. Also, the trial judge must be aggressively involved in media management to ensure the defendant's Constitutional right to a fair trial and the societal right to justice in a properly conducted trial.
A review of some of the issues that often arise when dealing with a capital case will help prepare the judiciary for a capital case with intense media focus:
1. What are the legal guidelines in the area of free press and fair trial interests?
2. What are some of the pitfalls of the capital trial and what planning should the justice system take to appropriately address those concerns?
Suicide: A Legal, Constitutional, and Human Right
Authors: Lamparello Adam
Published: January 2023

Ultimately, this Article strives to advance discussion of values and rights and thereby give greater freedom to the individual in decisions relating to life and liberty. This Article argues that the value of life is best expressed when the concept of value is given a subjective rather than objective meaning. In other words, the individual himself should determine the value of his life. A third party should not force upon that individual a determination with no understanding of an individual's private end-of-life choices. Life has value not because of how others define it, but rather because of how each individual defines it. Thus, an individual's actions in response to that assessment will vary, and those actions may include making the decision to end his life. The individual has the right to make that choice. The individual has the right to decide how to live his life, on his own terms, and in accordance with his own judgments and discretion. The Constitution protects this interest, but more importantly, the nature of human existence protects this interest.
Part II discusses the Supreme Court's substantive due process jurisprudence and why it provides the legal basis for an unconditional right to suicide. Part III provides the theoretical basis for the right to suicide. Part IV endorses the right to commit suicide and argues there should be an organization that helps individuals safely and peacefully end their lives. However, this right, based upon notions of privacy and liberty, is not absolute. There must be procedures in place to ensure the individual is of sound mind and body. In other words, it is imperative to confirm that those individuals truly desire to commit suicide and are not merely acting irrationally, as one might in the case of a temporary emotional or physical trauma.
Texas Public Policy on Insuring Punitive Damages: Time for a Fresh Look
Authors: McKay Joe
Published: January 2023

The comment will first define the threshold requirement of actual knowledge of the wrong as an indicator that punitive damages are intended as punishment. Next, the comment will look at how Texas case law has defined punitive damages to determine whether the compensation aspect of punitive damages is an independent justification such that insuring punitive damages does not contravene public policy. The comment will consider statutory law as a basis for finding that public policy bars insuring punitive damages. Finally, this comment explores how the supreme court's latest pronouncement on the purpose of punitive damages, Transportation Insurance Co. v. Moriel, lays the foundation for denying insurance of punitive damages.
Three Worlds Collide: A Novel Approach to the Law, Literature, and Psychology of Shame
Authors: Garcia Deni Smith
Published: January 2023

This Comment illuminates the shaming issue from a "law in literature"" 7 standpoint since, through literature, contextualization and empathy can be best understood. "Literature is instructive to lawyers and scholars because it leads away from a view of law as formal, mechanized rule-making, and leads instead toward all the possibilities, probabilities, ambiguities and doubts that life possesses."
More specifically, through analyzing the conditions that existed in Hawthorne's Salem at the close of the Seventeenth century, and contrasting them with conditions in America at the beginning of the Twenty-first century, this Comment exposes the flaws inherent in a modern scarlet letter sentence. Part I addresses the legal world of shame, using illustrative examples from The Scarlet Letter. First, Part I traces the movement from theocracy to democracy to show why shaming historically declined as a form of punishment. Second, the shaming definition is expanded focusing on two divergent schools of thought on what constitutes an effective shaming. Third, the modern and postmodern viability of shame punishment is questioned. Part I concludes by developing a shame profile and addressing specific concerns that arise as a result of legal shaming.
Part II addresses the psychological world of shame by examining the dangers of delving into the depths of the human psyche. Additionally, Part II questions the role of the judiciary in the psychological realm, and examines the distinction between shame and guilt.
Part III addresses Hester Prynne's shaming in The Scarlet Letter and analogizes the psychological effects of shame upon Hester Prynne,20 her daughter Pearl, and Reverend Dimmesdale to the modern psychological literature of shame, demonstrating that the literary world can inform the legal world that modern shaming is troublesome and inappropriate. This Comment concludes with the suggestion that shaming, although potentially effective, is a politically motivated, media- driven tactic that avoids confronting the very real psychological and social consequences inherent in a modern scarlet letter sentence.
Death Penalty: Texas Law - Subsequent Writs and Abuse of the Writ Doctrine in Texas
Authors: Mallin Charles M.
Published: January 2023

The purpose and scope of this paper is to introduce the practitioner to the concept of the "abuse-of-writ" doctrine as made applicable to death penalty habeas litigation via the recent enactment of article 11.071, section 5(a) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.' It is generally pertinent in the context of serial or subsequent writ filings by the applicant. It is hoped that this article will help guide both the State's and defendant's habeas attorney through the various intricacies of the subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus in death penalty litigation.
Part I of this article examines the subsequent writ from a historical perspective, revealing the necessity for a procedure that not only preserves the rights of the condemned, but promotes judicial economy and finality as well.
Part II explains the "abuse-of-writ" doctrine and discusses the operation of the exceptions to procedural bar under the statute.
Effect of the anxiolytic fabomotizol on the time parameters of atrial depolarization in the acute phase of myocardial infarction
Authors: Roshchevskaya I. M. , Tsorin I. B. , Kryzhanovskii S. A.
Published: January 2023

The aim of the work is to study the effect of the anxiolytic fabomotizole (15 mg/kg, i.v.) on atrial depolarization in the acute phase of myocardial infarction using the method of synchronous multichannel cardioelectrochronotopography. Synchronous multichannel cardioelectrochronotopography was used to study the sequence of depolarization of the atrial epicardium in outbred rats during the acute phase of myocardial infarction caused by ligation of the anterior branch of the left coronary artery with simultaneous administration of the σ1-receptor agonist fabomotizole. Significant differences in the temporal characteristics of atrial depolarization in the acute phase of myocardial infarction were revealed in control animals and animals treated with fabomotizol. In rats against the background of fabomotizol, changes in the time of the onset of epicardial depolarization, the transition of the excitation wave from the right to the left atrium, and the end of depolarization, compared with the initial state, occur by the 5th minute after the ligation of the coronary vessel; in the process of further development of acute myocardial infarction, changes in time parameters are not observed .In animals of the control group, changes in the time parameters of atrial depolarization after coronary vessel ligation develop by 10 minutes after ligation and continue to change as acute myocardial infarction develops. Anxiolytic fabomotizol in the most acute phase of myocardial infarction changes the time parameters of atrial depolarization, preventing the development of atrial fibrillation.
Сardioprotective agents with biaromatic structure. Part 4. Potassium hERG channels blockers and modulators
Authors: Mokrov G. V.
Published: January 2023

The hERG subtype potassium channel (Kv11.1) is one of the most important and one of the most studied biological targets for the creation of cardioprotective agents. A large number of both blockers and activators/modulators of the hERG channel have been described with biaromatic structure. Substances with an hERG-mechanism are used primarily for the effective regulation of the action potential duration in the heart tissues and for the control of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram. Among the hERG blockers, the most well-known drug is dofetilide, which is used to maintain sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation. The review presents all currently known ligands of the hERG channel with a biaromatic structure and the data on their biological properties.

Introduction. A fixed dose combination of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for treatment of in the treatment of arterial hypertension. The combination of these substances causes an additive effect that helps to reduce blood pressure. A bioequivalence study of Telzap® Plus compared with MikardisPlus® was conducted with 63 volunteers.

Aim. The purpose of the bioequivalence trial was a comparative study of the pharmacokinetics and evidence of the bioequivalence of the fixed dose combination drug product Telzap® Plus (tablets 80 mg + 12,5 mg, Zentiva KS company, Czech Republic) compared with drug products MikardisPlus® (telmisartan+hydrochlorothiazide, tablets 80 mg + 12,5 mg, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG, Germany) in healthy volunteers after a single administration under fasting.

Materials and methods. To prove bioequivalence, an open label, comparative, randomized, crossover fourperiod replicate single-center clinical trial was conducted. The concentrations of hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan in plasma samples were determined with a validated HPLC-MS/MS method. A pharmacokinetic and statistical analysis was performed and confidence intervals for the pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax and AUC0-72 were calculated.

Results and discussion. It can be concluded that the studied formulations are bioequivalent in terms of pharmacokinetic parameters of hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan. All 90 % confidence intervals for the estimated pharmacokinetic parameters of hydrochlorothiazide were in the range of 80–125 %, 90 % confidence intervals for telmisartan were within the bioequivalence range of 80–125 % for AUC0-72, and 79,30–126,11 % for Cmax.

Conclusion. Thus, according to the criteria used in the study, the formulations are proved to be bioequivalent.
The Limits of Right-Wing Populism in Power and the Israeli Political Crisis of 2018–2021
Authors: Navot Doron , Goldshmidt Yair , Yakir Asaf
Published: January 2023

Between 2018 and 2021, Israel experienced an unprecedented political crisis that saw four rounds of elections, as the country's parties failed to form a stable coalition government. This article contends that this crisis was the result of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's shift away
from neoliberalism and toward a populist "anti-system" agenda. While Netanyahu's intensification of institutional subversion played a role in his success in the mid–late 2010s, it complicated relations within his party and among his political allies. The end result was years of political
deadlock.
