Of considerable interest in the study of the housebuilding traditions and innovations of the Finno-Ugric population of the forest belt of the Middle Volga region are the works of the 18th – early 20th century researchers. In this period, random episodic surveys were carried out in the territory of the Middle Volga region. A significant event was the holding of the 4thArchaeological Congress in Kazan in 1877, during which it was decided to publish the annual scientific journal “Bulletin of the Society of Archaeology, History and Ethnography (IOAIE)”. The journal not only provided information about the newly discovered archaeological artifacts and sites, but also featured a scientific discussion concerning the possibility of housebuilding development across the population of the Middle Volga region. The issue of the construction of permanent structures in the territory was also of interest for geologists, natural scientists and ethnographers. In this regard, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the scientific works of the 18th – early 20th centuries dedicated to the study of the origins and development of housebuilding practiced by the population of the forest belt of the Middle Volga region in the 2nd – 1st millennium BC. The authors came to the conclusion that archaeological research and ethnographic realities presented in the scientific evidence of the 18th – early 20thcenturies are of great importance in terms of source studies for the research of the various aspects of the life of the ancient population of the region.

We here conduct ancient DNA analyses on 58 chicken bones from 15 archaeological sites (from the 9th to the 18th century AD) across the Volga region, the Leningrad region, the Pskov region, and the north of the Krasnoyarsk region to investigate genetic diversity of past chicken populations within this geographical area. We find all samples belong to sub-haplogroup E1, ubiquitous throughout the world and dominant in Europe, Africa and the Americas. This supports an introduction of chickens from the west, rather than a direct introduction from East Asia. Our study also demonstrates good endogenous DNA content, confirming species identification and sex of the individuals, thus highlighting the potential of genetic studies on archaeological remains in that region.

The paper introduces into scientific discourse the materials of two burial grounds of the Pyany Bor culture – Toiguzino Island and Kulushevo Island III – studied in 1995–2009 on the islands of Nizhnekamsk Reservoir in the Tukay District of the Republic of Tatarstan. Befor filling of the Reservoir, Toiguzino Island burial ground was located on the residual hill of the second terrace in the floodplain of the right bank of the Ik river, and Kulushevo Island III burial ground – on the elevation of the second terrace of the left bank of the Ik river to the west of the former Toiguzino village. Both burial grounds have provided finds with characteristic artefacts of the Pyany Bor culture; rescue excavations were performed at Kulushevo Island III burial ground in 1999. Three burials were examined in one of the two tranches (tranch II). These were the inhumations made in a row of shallow sub-rectangular pits. Two of the corpses were oriented to the east-southeast, another one (grave 1) – to the west-northwest. Only this burial contained a preserved inventory. The consist and conditions of the finds from both burial grounds (generally, finds collected on the surface) does not allow for narrower dating than the first centuries AD. The burial grounds are located at the junction of two micro regions (I and II according to D. G. Bugrov) in terms of the settlement structure of Pyany Bor culture in the Lower Ik region. Kulushevo Island III burial ground can possibility be attributed to micro region II (Toiguzino).

Transparency and Evaluation of Transparency in the Adjudication and Exercise of the Judicial Power of the Court in Vietnam
Authors: Chi Nguyen Ngoc
Published: March 2021

Recent studies have shown that alongside the implementation of transparency, the evaluation of transparency in the adjudication and exercise of the judicial power of the court is an objective requirement for a rule-of-law country. However, each form of organization of judicial power and each design of the court system have a different approach to the evaluation of the transparency in the adjudication and exercise of the judicial power. Therefore, aside from the common ground that is acknowledging the importance of the evaluation of  transparency in the adjudication and exercise of the judicial power, the purpose, mechanism, method, and criteria for evaluation vary in accordance to each country, each historical period. The judicial reform in Vietnam requires for evaluation of transparency in the adjudication and exercise of the judicial power of the court. Initial steps have been made to perform evaluation to a certain extent, however this has proven insufficient for the goal to “build a clean, strong, just, democratic, and step-by-step modernized judicial system to serve the people, to serve the Socialist Republic of Vietnam”. For this reason, this paper aims to clarify the theoretical and practical foundation of transparency and evaluation of transparency in the adjudication and exercise of the judicial power in Vietnam under the human rights-based approach, the dialectical materialism approach, and scientific research methods, among which the comparative law method is emphasized.
Mutagenic potential of Gamma rays on Somatic cell division and morphological parameters in Foeniculum vulgare Mill.
Authors: Mishra Moni , Kumar Girjesh
Published: March 2021

Mutagenesis involving ionizing radiation has been widely used for alteration in genetic constituents to increase the variability at gene level in a very small fraction of time. But, attempts to induce genetic variability in fennel for agronomically important trait are very limited. Narrow genetic base is the main hindrance in handling the conventional breeding in Fennel . Thus, main idea of this study is to generate genetic variability in Ajmer fennel-2 variety of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. by using the most potent physical mutagen i.e. gamma rays. The seeds were exposed to different doses of gamma rays viz. 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25Kr, respectively, along with control to analyze the effect of gamma rays on meristematic root tips. Germination and survival percentage were significantly affected in response to ionizing potential of gamma rays and a dose dependent decline was observed in both the parameters. Plant height, shoots, root length and days of flowering were also affected by gamma rays and a considerable increment was achieved at lowest dose with respect to control. As the dose of gamma ray increases, the rate of Active Mitotic Index declines. The irradiated seeds show numerous chromosomal variations such as; scattering, stickiness, bridge formation etc which are computed in the form of Total Abnormality Percentage.

Physical Activity and Investigation With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Partly Explain Variability in the Prevalence of Patellar Tendon Abnormalities: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis of Imaging Studies in Asymptomatic Individuals
Authors: Docking Sean Iain , Rio Ebonie , Girdwood Michael Alan , Hannington Madeline Claire , Cook Jill L. , Culvenor Adam G.
Published: March 2021

Objective

To estimate the pooled prevalence of, and factors associated with, the presence of patellar tendon abnormalities observed on imaging in people without symptoms.

Design

Systematic review with stratified meta-analysis and meta-regression.

Literature Search

We searched Embase, Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science from 1980 to August 2020.

Study Selection Criteria

We included studies that reported the prevalence of asymptomatic patellar tendon abnormalities on imaging. We excluded studies of participants with current tendon pain, a history of tendon pain, or other systemic conditions.

Data Synthesis

Stratification and meta-regression of studies based on study-level descriptive statistics (mean age, body mass index, proportion of female participants, physical activity participation, imaging modality) were performed using a random-effects model to account for between-study heterogeneity. Risk of bias was assessed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale.

Results

Meta-analysis of 64 studies (7125 limbs from 4616 participants) found significant between-study heterogeneity (I2≥90%, P<.01), which precluded a summary prevalence estimate. Heterogeneity was partially explained by studies that included participants who were physically active and studies that assessed tendon abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging compared to ultrasound (P<.05). Mean age, body mass index, proportion of female participants, and sample size did not explain the remaining heterogeneity.

Conclusion

There was substantial variability in the reported prevalence of asymptomatic patellar tendon abnormalities. A clear and valid method is needed to assess and report the presence of patellar tendon abnormalities to increase research capacity and establish the clinical value of imaging the patellar tendon.

An Integrated Analysis for Post Hydraulic Fracturing Production Forecast in Conventional Oil Sand Reservoir
Authors: Kristanto Dedy , Jagadita IMD Saputra
Published: March 2021

Hydraulic fracturing is one of the stimulation treatment in oil and gas well by creating a fractured through a proppant injection to the formation. A most critical problem in the actual oil and gas industry is that the fracturing engineers could not forecast approximately post-production performance after fracturing the job, which is a severe problem. This problem phenomenon has occurred in some cases and significantly impacts production such as oversizing or lower sizing of pumping rate setting. Integrated analysis for post job hydraulic fracturing production based on the geometry model iteration and Productivity Index (PI) comparison in the conventional oil sand reservoir is simply a method to analyze and forecast approximately incremental production performance. The fractured software generates a fractured geometry model that considers half-length of fractured parameters, width in front of perforation, average width, fractured height, and pressure net. Then we compare the Productivity Index's prediction value through the method of Cinco-Ley, Samaniego and Dominguez. A case study in the well of TM#2 (conventional oil sand reservoir) was conducted as the comprehensive study to provide the data and proceed analysis for production forecast. We found that the geometry model and iteration of PKN 2D method generated a small fractured geometry model compare to fracCADE software. The cooperation between PKN 2D method and Cinco-Ley, Samaniego, and Dominguez concept successfully predict post-production forecast. This concept could be proposed as a quick look measurement for production scenarios to overcome pump sizing.
Holistic Evaluation of Biodegradation Pathway Prediction: Assessing Multi-Step Reactions and Intermediate Products
Authors: Tam Jason , Lorsbach Tim , Schmidt Sebastian , Wicker Jörg
Published: March 2021

The prediction of metabolism and biotransformation pathways of xenobiotics is a highly desired tool in environmental and life sciences. There are several systems that currently predict single transformation steps or complete pathways as series of parallel and subsequent steps. Their accuracy is often evaluated on the level of a single transformation step. Such an approach cannot account for some specific challenges that are related to the nature of the biotransformation experiments. This is particularly true for missing transformation products in the reference data that occur only in low concentrations, e.g. transient intermediates or higher-generation metabolites. Furthermore, some rulebased prediction systems evaluate accuracy only based on the defined set of transformation rules. Therefore, the performance of different models cannot be directly compared.
Optical Spectroscopy of Crystal Nucleation One Nucleus at a Time
Authors: Urquidi Oscar , Brazard Johanna , LeMessurier Natalie , Simine Lena , Adachi Takuji
Published: March 2021

Crystallization is an important process in a wide range of disciplines from fundamental science to industrial application. Despite the importance of controlling the crystallization and its morphology (e.g. polymorphism), the lack of microscopic description of crystal nucleation often limits the rational approach to its engineering and control. The biggest challenge to experimentally track the nucleus formation is the stochastic and heterogeneous nature of the nucleation occurring at nanometer scale. To overcome this challenge, we developed a method we call “Single Nucleus Spectroscopy” or SNS and use it to follow the formation of single crystal glycine nucleus by Raman spectroscopy at 46 ms time resolution. The spectral evolution was analyzed by non-supervised spectral decomposition algorithm which unraveled the Raman spectrum of prenucleation aggregates. In order to gain microscopic insights into the structure of these aggregates we have established a direct comparison between the experiments and theoretical works. The outcome of our analysis is a new hypothesis of glycine crystal nucleation mechanism.

During 2019 December, in Wuhan city of China, a severe acute respiratory illness (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 was identified. Consequently, the virus reached different countries around the world. A pandemic was declared by WHO in March 2020. The incubation period for this virus is from 2 to 14 days and it is transmissible from human to human. Due to the increase in death toll because of COVID-19, the importance of dead body handling and management become a critical issue as the transmission of infection can occur during this. If standard precautions during handling of dead bodies are not complied with, it can exacerbate transmission. Risk is to be assessed and adequate explanation must be provided to the family members during the dead body handling, respecting the cultural and ritual practices in the community. Family members may be provided with personal protective equipment (PPE) with instructions on how to use it if the need arises. To contain the spread of infection during the handling of dead bodies, all the indicated measures and precautions should be followed. Guidelines on the management of covid 19 positive dead bodies have been issued by most health authorities around the globe. They are more or less similar except for minor variations.

A 14-month female child came with complain of cholera like watery loose stool 10-12 times and vomiting 6-7 times, 24 hrs before admission. She was in severe dehydration, hypotension, unconscious with no recorded fever during her stay in hospital and no history of contact with COVID-19. Patient was COVID-19 positive Dehydration and hypotension was corrected, metabolic acidosis continued and eventually patient succumb due to multiple organ failure. This case report should arouse us to suspect COVID infection in every acute Gastroenteritis child who may not have any common symptoms as seen in COVID patient, also who have no history of significant contact with COVID positive patient in family. Some people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms either alone or with respiratory symptoms. Recently, researchers at Stanford University found that a third of patients they studied with a mild case of COVID-19 had symptoms affecting the digestive system. Another recent study Trusted Source published by researchers in Beijing found that anywhere from 3 to 79 percent of people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

The purpose of this work is a study of low molecular weight fraction with C. albicans protein concentrations of 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg/ml by antibody titers in subcutaneous administration. A low molecular fraction of C. albicans proteins in concentration 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg/ml has been studied in white mice. Mice have subcutaneously injected 0.2 ml of the test fraction into the upper part of the right hind paw. After 14 days, 0.2 ml of test fractions were injected repeatedly into the upper part of the left hind paw. 1 month for one group and 3 months for the second group of experimental animals after the second injection intraperitoneal infection of the animals was carried out.  After 14 days, determination of the protective functions of the animal body by titer of C. albicans specific antibodies has been performed by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Studies have shown that the low molecular weight fraction of C. albicans fungi cells antigens at the double subcutaneous injection of 0.2 ml does not provide the activation of immune mechanisms. The low molecular weight fraction of C. albicans proteins at subcutaneous administration  does not activate the body's defense mechanisms in preventing candidiasis.

Hip fractures are a common entity in the elderly. Hemiarthroplasty is a common treatment option for displaced neck of femur fractures and have been found to be successful in restoring mobility, reducing pain and improving quality of life following hip fractures in elderly. Many studies have reported that advanced age, male gender, long term stay in the intensive care unit, poor postoperative mobilization ability, a poor or dependent ADL score preoperatively, multiple comorbidities which result in a high ASA score have been associated with higher mortality. A retrospective study was done at the Department of Orthopaedics at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Pondicherry which included all patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty (both cemented and uncemented) from 2017-2020. The details of patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were obtained from the medical records department and were analysed by a single investigator. In case the subjects had not reviewed following surgeries, details were obtained by telephonic communication. In our study of 40 patients, mortality was observed in 4 patients which included 3 females and 1 male. It was also observed that mortality was high between the ages of 61-80 years, patients with multiple comorbidities and patients with high ASA scores. The hazard ratio was calculated for 3 parameters namely age, time to surgery and surgical duration and is 1.014, 0.842 and 0.984 respectively but this was not found to be statistically significant. This may due to the small sample size and retrospective nature of our study.

In general terms, medicinal chemistry manages the revelation & plan of recent remedial synthetic concoctions & its uses as meds. Throughout the most recent couple of decades, mixes bearing heterocyclic cores have gotten considerably more consideration of the scientific expert, because of their expansive chemo remedial exercises, for example, calming, anthelmintic, hostile to tubercular, against parasitic & hostile to microbial exercises. Furthermore, Heterocycles & medicines are both interred related, the human is totally dependent on drugs & most of the drugs are derived from heterocyclic compounds. Hetero cycles & their derivatives have been excited regards chemist mainly due to broad-spectrum chemical & pharmacological activities. Most of the heterocyclic compounds are naturally occurs & playing the important role of metabolism regards cells of living. There has been a bigger count of pharmacologically attracted compounds of heterocyclic, several of which have been under continues clinical utilization. This paper presented a detailed study of synthesis which is spectrally detected Heterocyclic compounds, in results described the antibacterial activity of (e)-s-4-(is nicotinamide)-5-(phenoxymethyl)-4h-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl 3-(substituted phenyl) prop-2- enethioate. (7a-7f) and antifungal activity of (e)-s-4-(isonicotinamido)-5-(phenoxymethyl)-4h-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl 3-(substituted phenyl) prop-2-enethioate.

The article considers the issues of legal regulation of granting citizens the right to implement legislative initiatives and the consolidation of this right in the constitutions (charters) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It was founded that the federal legislator, while providing the regions with the opportunity to empower citizens with the right to legislative initiative, did not regulate the issues of determining the conditions and procedure for realizing by citizens of this right. A variety of practices of legal regulation and constitutional consolidation of this institution based on the analysis of the constitutions (charters) of the regions were identified. In particular, three forms of legislative initiative of citizens were identified - a draft law, a legislative proposal, an amendment to a bill. It is proposed to consider a legislative proposal as an independent legal institution. It has been established that granting citizens the right to amend bills is aimed at developing the democratization of lawmaking process, so it was proposed to consolidate this right in the legislation of the constituent entities of the federation. But taking into account the peculiarities of the parliamentary discussion of the bill in the second reading, it was recommended to simplify the procedure of amending bills for citizens by reducing the number of signatures of citizens supporting this initiative. It has been established that regional legislators use a blanket method of securing the norms on the right to legislative initiative of citizens in the constitutions (charters) of the regions in most of the cases. The absolute number of citizens or the percentage of the total number of citizens who have the right to vote is used in the regions to determine the number of citizens required for the implementation of a legislative initiative. It is proposed to regulate the mechanism for implementing the institution of citizens’ legislative initiative at the federal level in order to expand the opportunity for citizens to participate in legislative activities and eliminate contradictions in the regional legislation.
Contract of a Commercial Concession in Russian Law: Issues of Theory and Practice
Authors:   Baikal State University, Belousov V. N.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis and resolution of problems arising during the conclusion and execution of a commercial concession agreement. The article substantiates the consideration of a commercial concession agreement as an independent type of civil contract. The criterion for the independence of this type of agreement is the presence of its own subject matter (the rightholder performing actions to grant the user the right to use a set of exclusive rights), as well as othertractors are differentiated. It is concluded that quality control of goods (works, services) produced (performed, rendered) by the user must be considered as a duty of the copyright holder, which cannot be excluded by agreement of the parties. The reasons for the absence of the legal obligation of the copyright holder to offer the user to conclude a contract for a new term are established. Special rules on termination of a commercial concession agreement are studied. The cases for motivated and unmotivated unilateral refusal of the contract are named. Specific proposals have been developed to improve the rules on a commercial concession agreement.

It is determined that the task of improving the legal protection of the ecosystem of Lake Baikal presupposes a comprehensive analysis of the existing legal regimes of both national and international origin. It is noted that various international treaties have already played a positive role in solving acute problems of lake protection, however, the potential of international law in this area is far from being exhausted, since, on the one hand, the existing international legal mechanisms are often not fully used, with the other is that there are a significantpact Assessment in a Transboundary Context”, reflecting leading international and foreign practice of solving environmental issues. A separate block is allocated to the conventions on the protection of flora, fauna and its individual species:“on the protection of wild fauna and flora and natural habitats in Europe” and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals. It was noted that the analysis of the European Convention on Landscapes, whose provisions can contribute to the formation of landscape policy in the Central Ecological Zone of the Baikal Natural Territory, is promising.
