Trade and Economic Relations between the EAEU Countries during the COVID-2019 Pandemic
Authors: Glinskaya M. V. , Abrosimova V. V.
Published: July 2021

The relevance of the selected topic of the article is due to the fact that the coronavirus pandemic and the imposed restrictive measures associated with it, which have swept the entire planet, affects all national economies and, accordingly, the integration groups that include these states. The EAEU is no exception. The Eurasian Economic Union was created with the aim of strengthening the national economies and the potential of the member states in the global economy, in which four freedoms operate: the movement of goods, services, finance and labor. Its appearance occurred during the period of global economic instability and geopolitical changes in Eurasia, which affected the situation within the EAEU.

The purpose of this article is to study trade and economic relations between the EAEU countries during the COVID-2019 pandemic. Achievement of the goal set in the work was performed based on the application of general scientific methods within the framework of comparative, logical and statistical analysis.

The results of the research performed in the article are based on the analysis of statistical information on foreign trade within the integration group, as well as on data on the prevailing trends in foreign economic relations between countries in non-trade spheres.

It was concluded that in the context of the COVID-2019 pandemic, the growth rates slowed down, and the intensity of the countries’ foreign economic relations decreased significantly, which aggravates the negative trends in the decrease in the integration ties strength and the increase in contradictions between countries even before the start of the pandemic. The prospects for the recovery and further development of the EAEU member states’ economies are largely associated with the influence of external factors. The macroeconomic forecast for the states of the region critically depends on the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic course. An important factor is that each of the states in the region is in a unique epidemiological situation, which also makes it difficult to assess both the quarantine measures duration and the economic consequences depth of the imposed restrictions.

Nevertheless, it is obvious that the EAEU countries intend to continue working towards a joint response to the threat of coronavirus infection. It should be borne in mind that the nature of such interaction will have certain limits associated with the current level of integration.

Published: July 2021

The article deals the possibilities of using early clinical and anamnestic data for the diagnosis of severe bronchial obstruction in children.

The aim of the study was to search for informative indicators that affect the severity of bronchial obstruction against the background of acute respiratory viral infections, and to develop a mathematical predictive model for use at the stages of hospitalization.

Materials and methods. The study was based on the examination and observation of 386 children aged 1 month to 5 years who were treated in the respiratory department and the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of bronchial obstruction syndrome. To search for informative indicators, 34 anamnestic signs were studied, including those in mother-child pairs. Comparison of indicators was carried out according to Student's t-test for independent samples and у 2 test to assess categorical differences. To assess the effect of each independent variable on the outcomes of interest, variables reaching P ≤ 0.25 in bivariate analysis were included in a multivariate logistic regression model.

Results. Mathematical processing showed that only 1 9 factors were identified as significantly influencing the severity of the disease (p < 0.001), while others were not potential determinants of severity. For the main ones, diagnostic values were calculated and a mathematical forecasting model was built with a high level of reliability — 95%.

Published: July 2021

The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between antenatal antibi-otic exposure and the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in low birth weight infants.

Study design: A retrospective case-control study was conducted on all infants with NEC who were born between 201 0 and 2020. Medical histories of all infants diagnosed with NEC ≥ Bella IIA stage and corresponding controls without NEC were examined. Maternal and newborn char-acteristics were compared using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method, and logistic regression models were constructed to account for bias.

Results. Clinical data were analyzed for 97 matched pairs. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for pre-natal ampicillin exposure was significantly higher for infants who developed NEC (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1,4.8, P = 0.003) than for children in the control group. Infants who developed NEC were more likely to have a history of intrauterine exposure to ampicillin in the immediate prenatal period than infants who did not develop NEC.

Materials and methods. A comparative analysis was carried out of 1 70 case histories of children in hospital with a verified diagnosis of pneumonia in 2020. The basis for the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumonia was a positive PCR result of a smear of the posterior pharyngeal wall. The resulting data was constructed using Microsoft Excel 2007.

Results. Mycoplasma pneumonia is specific for older schoolchildren; characterized by: prolonged course (73.5%), long-term preservation of an unproductive cough (75.7%), mild intoxication (68.6%) and catarrhal syndromes (54.3%), gradual onset (76.6%), severe lymphocytosis up to 55%, segmental or polysegmental damage to the lung tissue (92.7%).
COVID-19 and excess mortality: Was it possible to lower the number of deaths in Slovenia?
Authors: Josipovic Damir
Published: July 2021

This paper presents new data on the age structure of hospitalised SARI
(severe acute respiratory infection) patients, with or without COVID-19,
broken down by gender, place of infection, and region. The leading
hypothesis that COVID-19 deaths are overestimated despite the high share of
excess deaths was confirmed, bringing to light the important issue of the
demographic breakdown of the population at risk. Thus, the main reason for
the decreasing number of COVID-19 deaths is to be sought within the
exhausted demographic pool of the elderly population in 2020, when the
mortality rate was 19% higher compared to the previous five-year period
(2015-2019). Demographic disparities across regions are immense and
statistically explain the differences in the ?infected versus deceased?
ratio. The excess mortality in 2020 was unusually high, but the projected
value for 2020 based on the mortality pattern across age groups from 2015 to
2019 contributed up to one-third of the surplus. So, for one-quarter of
alleged COVID-19 deaths (roughly 600 out of some 3,300 in 2020), death was
expected to take place in 2020 anyway.

Herbs and horoscopes have played important roles in ancient human life. Vedic astrology describes nine grahas (planets), 12 rashis (zodiacs) and 27 nakshatras (stars/ constellations). It was believed that every person should plant and take care of the tree, animal or bird assigned to his/ her rashi/ nakshatra to please the ruling deity. The concept says that the position of these bodies at the time of birth or their movement in the celestial globe has influence on humans. Our ancestors established navagraha/ rashi/ nakshatra vatika or van near sacred places with representative plants to worship and ensure good health. Most of these representative plants are rare medicinal tree species, which emphasize our ancestors’ forevision to conserve these genetic resources ex situ to share its medicinal uses with the preceding generation. These tree species are rich in secondary metabolites such as antioxidants, alkaloids, saponins, flavanoids, terpenes, and tannins and are widely used in traditional treatment systems. It is proven that these plant species release more oxygen compared to other species and hence sitting near these trees generate positive energy. The phytochemistry and pharmacological significance of these species have been proven by scientific research by modern science. Therapeutic, industrial and cosmetic relevance of these trees are being exploited in various parts of the world. Conservation of these species in navagraha/ rashi/ nakshatra vatikas established in urban spaces can refresh the minds of city dwellers by ensuring greenery and enriching biodiversity.

The current rate of deforestation in Ethiopia is exacerbated by number of factors including increased rate of population, increased fuel wood consumption, urbanization, infrastructure development, etc. However, fuel wood energy requirement is one of the major problems causing deforestation. The current study was conducted during 2017 with the objective to estimate the fuel wood consumption of Arba Minch Town. To achieve this objective a household survey was conducted in the town. Out of 11 kebeles of the town four were selected purposely. 58 household respondents were selected for the study. People of the area using fuel wood for various purposes such as cooking, for lighting and for selling as source of income. Arba Minch forest is the source of fuel wood for majority of the households. On average basis, single house hold is using 4.01 kg of fuel wood day-1. The fuel wood consumption of other user such as hotels, govt. institutions were also recorded by conducting survey in four sub cities. Among different user group of fuel wood in the town fuel wood consumption by individual HHs were maximum (66 t day-1 or 24090 t year-1) followed by hotels (2.65 t day-1 or 969.08 t year-1) and lowest by government institutes (110 t day-1 or 40.15 t year-1). Thus, total consumption of fuel wood in Arba Minch town is 68.78 t day-1 or 25,099.23 t year-1. The demand for fuel wood consumption is in increasing trend. This growing demand of fuel wood from household is posing a threat to the remaining natural forest and associated wildlife and resources. Therefore, it is recommended that there is a need of adoption of alternative sources of energy which can replace fuel wood energy. Thus community participation in forest protection should be encouraged and illegal consumption of fuel wood in the study area should be checked.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxic N-glycosidases that depurinate eukaryotic and prokaryotic rRNAs and thus interrupt protein synthesis during translation. In the present study, a protein of around 32 kDa, supposedly a RIP isolated from Trichosanthes dioica, was assessed for its potential to induce apoptosis in HeLa cells. Cell viability assay was done to measure cell proliferation and survivability. It was observed that cells viability decreased with the increase of decrease in dilution, i.e. when the sample was an undiluted one, the viability decreased drastically and almost came to less than 10%. To further check whether the isolated RIP could induce apoptosis, HeLa cells were treated with the test RIP. Immunoblotting was carried out using PARP poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1), a 113 kDa nuclear enzyme, which is considered a hallmark of cells undergoing apoptosis. HeLa cells were further analyzed for loss of mitochondrial membrane potential with JC-1 dye, which is an early event during apoptosis. Increased PARP breakdown in the RIP treated cells indicates that cells undergoing apoptosis and progressive loss of red J-aggregate fluorescence indicate that the isolated RIP from Trichosanthes dioica induces apoptosis in HeLa cells. The ability of apoptosis induction is comparable to another known RIP from Momordica charantia, which was used as a positive control. Promising results from the present study warrants the isolated RIP to be further explored for anticancer activities.

The seed potato cost is very important component in total potato production and account for 30 to 70% which varies depending on the country or region. Tuber size is an important factor to decide the seed requirement per unit area. Seed size affects total yield, graded or marketable tuber yields. Standard seed tuber of 25–125 g weight (30–55 mm) is known as seed size tubers in India. Obtaining seed size tuber is important for achieving higher potential of the cultivars. The tuber size profile can be reduced or expanded by altering inter and intra row seed spacing, controlling days of growth by planting late or killing vines/haulm early, regulating inputs like fertilizer and water etc. An ideal combination of plant population, row width, and in-row seed spacing for a particular variety were the major factors for optimizing tuber size. Variation in tuber bulking ability in different genotypes results in variation in proportion of seed size tubers among different varieties. 70–80 days haulm killing found most suitable for getting higher proportion of seed size tubers in high bulking varieties. Proper management of N, P and K fertilizers is considered very important to maximize tuber yield and attain desirable quality. Variability in nitrogen dose/ha was observed which ranged from 100–150 between different regions of the world. Hence proper combination of above Agro-techniques should be adopted in seed production programme as per the region for getting higher proportion of seed size/plantable seed tubers.

Chaugarkha goats are small size meat purpose breed distributed in temperate Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India and the breed is identified as a unique new breed since 1992. The breeding tract of Chaugarkha goat is spread across four mountainous districts Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat and Pithoragarh of Kumaon region. The growth performance was analyzed by least squares analysis and information on reproduction parameters of Chaugarkha goats was generated. Least squares means at birth, three months, six months, nine months and twelve months were 1.83±0.03, 7.67±0.13, 11.45±0.17, 14.89±0.27 and 18.98±0.26 kg, respectively. Age at first mating (days), age at first kidding (days), kidding interval (days), service period (days) and gestation period (days) were 439.65±23.93, 583.83±32.66, 267.46±10.23, 204.30±17.57, and 148.98±0.70, respectively. The litter size was 1.23±0.04. Oestrous cycle length (days) and estrus duration (hrs) were 21.31±0.32, and 52.0±1.36, respectively. In the cluster 4 higher performances were recorded and it was carried forward from three months through six and nine months upto twelve months. But, no definite trend was observed for the effects of year. The male had higher estimates than females at all ages, which is along the expected line. The generated reproduction parameters will be helpful in the formulation and implementation of breeding plans.

The present study was conducted during the year 2018-2019 to determine the impact of road on Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) of plants growing along the road. A comparative study was done between three roads viz., National highway, State highway and Link Road. Among three roads, link road can be considered as control because vehicular emissions were minimal or non-existent. Three plants (Dalbergia sisso, Mangifera indica and Ficus palmata) were selected as per their uniform presence along all three roads. Four biochemical parameters viz., ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, leaf extract pH and relative water content were used to calculate the air pollution tolerance index. Season wise maximum ascorbic acid, leaf extract pH and relative water content was observed during post monsoon season whereas total chlorophyll content was observed during pre monsoon season. The APTI of the selected plant species ranged from 8.23 to 10.76 during pre-monsoon and 9.03 to 11.09 during post-monsoon. Anticipated Performance Index (API) was in order of Mangifera indica with highest API grade (6) and it was excellent among plants followed by Dalbergia sisso (5) in very good and Ficus palmata (3) in moderate.

Indiscriminate and unscientific application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, adversely affect the agricultural production system by damaging soil health, contaminating natural water bodies and ground water. As a result of prolonged use of excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the yield of field crops are decreasing due to poor soil health and produced crops also adversely impact human health. For animal husbandry enterprise, fodder production is one of the major activities. Injudicious use of chemicals can reduce fodder production as well as productivity of livestock can also be reduced. Under these circumstances, demonstration of fodder berseem and oats cultivation by using biofertilizers and biopesticides were carried out in farmer’s field at three blocks of Nadia district of West Bengal, India. The study was conducted in the winter season of the year 2020-21; the selected farmers were trained and method demonstrations of fodder crop production were carried out. The demonstration results suggested that average yield of berseem fodder crop was 53.33±2.80 t ha-1 whereas oats fodder crop was 43.07±2.16 t ha-1. The BC ratio of fodder crop cultivation suggested that, by the cultivation of both fodder crops farmers got substantial economic return. Fodder produced by the using biofertilizers and biopesticide contain good amount of dry matter as well as crude protein. From the study it can be concluded that both the fodder crops can be grown in the farmers’ field of the study area by using the biofertilizers and biopesticide without deteriorating the fodder yield and fodder quality.
Plato vs. ≪dialectical materialism≫: the dispute about the subject of philosophical science in the light of the dialectic of totality and fragmentarity
Authors:   Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences, Morozov M.Y.
Published: July 2021

This article is an attempt to comprehend the dialogue «Charmides» from the heritage of early Plato. This reflection is made through the prism of «two acts» of polemics on the subject and status of philosophy, which took place in the Soviet philosophical debates of the 20s, and in the 50s, and are associated with the names of E. Ilyenkov, V. Korovikov, A. Deborin, etc. It is shown that the true Leninist solution to the question of the subject of philosophy, which Ilyenkov defended, has its roots in the ideas of early Plato, who, because of historical conditioning, does not give an explicit answer in «Charmides » and leaves the finale open. However, the contours of the solution outlined already by Plato himself definitely «cut off» most of the arguments expressed during the polemics by Ilyenkov’s opponents, thus leaving an «ideal image» of such a solution, proving its existence and unambiguity.
