Noma: a PubMed-based informetric analysis of a neglected tropical orofacial disease in Nigeria
Authors: Kanmodi Kehinde
Published: June 2023

Noma is an orofacial gangrenous infection commonly affecting malnourished children in the tropical region of the World, particularly the sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria is a sub-Saharan African country which is among the countries seriously affected by noma. In Nigeria, noma has been classified as a priority disease. However, only very little attention has been focused on noma research in Nigeria, unlike many other priority diseases. This study conducted an informetric analysis of research outputs on noma in Nigeria, using the PubMed database – a world-leading and authoritative database of medical literature. This study revealed that only 26 PubMed-indexed publications on noma (PONs), published between January 1990 and September 2021, were available. A trend analysis of these PONs showed that the average output (outputs from 1999 to 2020 = 23) rate per year (from 1990 to 2020 [31 years]) was 0.74 (23/31). Sokoto (n = 11), Oyo (n = 4) and Kebbi (n = 3) were the top three Nigerian states surveyed on noma in the included PONs. Only 12 publications had international co-authors, of which only few publications had co-authors affiliated with institutions in other African countries: South Africa – 5 publications; and Rwanda – 2 publications. Only two publications were funded. Also, the top five prolific Nigerian authors on noma in Nigeria were affiliated with Noma Children Hospital, Sokoto State, Nigeria. In conclusion, PONs by Nigerian authors is so meagre in quantity. This low output is an issue of medical concern. More research focused on noma in Nigeria is needed through funding and other research capacity-strengthening measures.

Authors: Devi Usha , Amboiram Prakash , Chandrasekaran Ashok , Balakrishnan Umamaheswari
Published: June 2023

Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission increases parents' stress levels and it might be even higher in the crisis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and lockdown. This study was done to identify the stress levels of parents of admitted neonates and the difficulties encountered in neonatal care and follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. The Parental Stressor Scale (PSS:NICU) and Perceived Stress Scale (PeSS) were used to identify the stress levels of parents of admitted neonates. Online survey form with a structured questionnaire comprising PeSS and NICU:PSS was sent through messaging app (Google form) after informed consent. PSS score of 26 as high. A total of 118 parental responses (mother /father in 26, both in 46) for 72 admitted neonates, were obtained. The mean (SD) PeSS score was 19.7 (5.8%) and 92 (78%) had moderate stress while 11 (9%) had high stress. In NICU:PSS, sights-sounds and parental role had more median scores: 2.25 (1–3.75) and 2.21 (1–3.57), respectively. Maternal and paternal NICU:PSS (p-0.67) and PeSS (p0.056) scores were not statistically different. Keeping nil per oral, invasive ventilation, culture-positive sepsis, fathers' transport difficulty and longer duration of mothers' and neonates' hospital stay was associated with increased NICU: PSS scores. Twenty (29%) parents could not bring their child for followup and there was a delay in immunisation in 21 (30%). The pandemic and the lockdown might have disrupted antenatal and postnatal follow-ups further adding to the parental stress.

Published: June 2023

The article deals with the influence problem of digitalization processes on the prospects of urban communities’ consolidation, which is implemented through a system of multi-level factors. The opinions of modern researchers and practitioners are studied on the introduction impact of digital technologies on the process of social consolidation. The article is based on the study results of expert surveys and focus group interviews, and ambivalent assessments of participants were obtained regarding the digital transformation of society. The paper presents the expert assessment results of the factors’ importance of urban communities’ consolidation and the influence of the second level’s digitalization factor on the prospects of urban communities’ consolidation. On the basis of these data, the following conclusions are formulated: in cases where digital transformation contributes to the improvement of social interactions, it will stimulate consolidation; reflection on the negative consequences of the digital technologies’ introduction, dehumanization of social reality as a result of its hybridization may prompt citizens to consolidate.
Installing Quaternary Germanium Centers in Sila-Diamondoid Cores via Skeletal Isomerization
Authors: Aguirre Cardenas M. Imex , Siu Timothy C. , Shimono Miku G. , Thai Shalivahana , Carta Veronica , Su Timothy
Published: June 2023

This manuscript describes two skeletal isomerization strategies to install one to four quaternary germanium atoms in the sila-adamantane core, in a cluster analogy to precision germanium doping in silicon-germanium alloys. The first synthetic strategy embodies an inorganic approach to the single-atom skeletal editing concept recently developed for modifying organic ring structures. Here we perform a single-atom Si-to-Ge transmutation in the sila-diamondoid core by functionalizing sila-adamantane with a peripheral trimethylgermane, then inducing a sila-Wagner-Meerwein bond shift cascade that exchanges a peripheral Ge atom with a core Si atom. Next, we demonstrate the regioselective installation of up to four Ge atoms at the quaternary centers of the adamantane, where the exact SixGey stoichiometry of the SiGe adamantane can be pre-determined from precursor design. Finally, we show we selectively functionalize bridgehead Ge centers over bridgehead Si centers in the SiGe adamantanes, suggesting a path to the regioselective construction of materials with SixGey adamantanes as superatomic building blocks. As the SiGe adamantanes are molecular versions of the SixGe1-x alloy semiconductor, the disclosed synthetic approaches will broadly enable investigation into how the composition and positional substitution of SixGey diamondoid structures impact its fundamental electronic properties.
Photoinduced Nitroarenes as Versatile Anaerobic Oxidants for Accessing Carbonyl and Imine Derivatives
Authors: Mitchell Joshua , Hussain Waseem , Bansode Ajay , O'Connor Ryan , Wise Dan , Choe Michael , Parasram Marvin
Published: June 2023

Herein, we report a protocol for the anaerobic oxidation of alcohols, amines, aldehydes, and imines promoted by photoexcited nitroarenes. Mechanistic studies support that photoexcited nitroarenes undergo double hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) steps with alcohols and amines to provide respective ketone and imine products. However, in the presence of aldehydes and imines, a successive HAT and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) event occurs to yield carboxylic acids and amides, respectively. This transformation is amenable to a continuous-flow photochemical setup, which led to significantly reduced reaction times.

Authors: Chukanov S.N. , Chukanov I.S.
Published: June 2023

The article discusses Takens embedding for 2D and 3D visualization of 1D time series data. The paper considers the use of topological data analysis in conjunction with Takens embedding to analyze the output information of a dynamic system - a rigid body. 3D images of curves constructed from three components of the angular velocity vector of a rigid body for various values of the main moments of inertia are constructed. Three-dimensional images of the curves constructed on the basis of the Takens embedding for the component of the angular velocity of a rigid body for various values of the principal moments of inertia are constructed. Distances between 3D images of curves are determined by constructing persistent landscape functions. Using the method of topological data analysis in conjunction with Takens embedding for image comparison allows you to classify and identify images and output information of the instrumental composition.

Visualization of the Processes Occurring during Spontaneous Triggering of a Vapor Explosion
Authors: Vasil’ev N.V. , Vavilov S.N. , Zeigarnik Yu.A.
Published: June 2023

The vapor explosion process is an explosive increase in the volume of vapor, accompanied by a sharp rise in pressure when a hot melt enters a cold liquid medium with a temperature above its limiting superheat temperature. This phenomenon incurs the threat of great destruction and human casualties in certain types of accidents in the nuclear, metallurgical, pulp and paper industries. Nevertheless, there are still many insufficiently studied aspects of this phenomenon, one of which is the initiation (triggering) of the process.

There are a number of logically fairly consistent descriptions of the processes occurring at a given stage of a vapor explosion. However, almost all of them are based on experiments carried out with external (forced) triggering. The article describes the data obtained during spontaneous triggering, i.e. under conditions much closer to reality.

In this paper, using high-speed video recording (with a frame rate of up to 180 kHz and an exposure time of up to 2 μs), the first visualization of the processes occurring during spontaneous triggering of a vapor explosion on molten NaCl salt drops in distilled water subcooled to saturation temperature is presented. It is shown that when several drops of the NaCl melt interact with water, the micro vapor explosion that occurred on one drop, with an interval of several tens of microseconds, causes explosive vaporization on neighboring drops as well. Thus, the logical descriptions of the processes received instrumental confirmation.

Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has fourteen approved indications in the management of acute and chronic diseases in various medical specialties. However, lack of physician knowledge and exposure to hyperbaric medicine may hinder the ability of patients to access this treatment option for approved indications. We aimed to determine the prevalence and nature of HBOT-related learning objectives in Canadian undergraduate medical education programs. Methods: Pre-clerkship and clerkship learning objectives from responding Canadian medical schools’ curricula were reviewed. These were acquired through the school websites or by emailing the faculties. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the number of hyperbaric medicine objectives taught in Canadian medical schools, and within each institution. Results: Learning objectives from seven of the 17 Canadian medical schools were received and reviewed. From the curriculum of the responding schools, only one objective was found to be related to hyperbaric medicine. Hyperbaric medicine was absent from the other six schools’ objectives. Conclusions: Based on the responding Canadian medical schools, hyperbaric medicine objectives were mostly absent from undergraduate medical curricula. These findings illustrate a possible gap in HBOT education and the need for discussion regarding the design and implementation of HBOT educational initiatives in medical training.

N. F. Dubrovin’s research occupies one of the fundamental places in the formation of Russian military-historical Caucasian studies. It is on the works of N. F. Dubrovin that the official, “civilizing” history of the Caucasian War will be formed and spread. As one of his contemporaries will correctly write about him, “he, one might say, was the first, through the scientific development of archival documents that became available only to him (my italics), systematically described the wars: the Patriotic, Caucasian and Crimean, leaving at the same time a very noticeable trace in the description of the wars of Catherine’s reign” [49, p. 543]. Indeed, the thematic scope of Dubrovin’s works is extensive, and the corpus of documents from various depositories introduced by him into scientific circulation confirms the extensive opportunities provided to him as an official historian to work with the most important closed documents. Undoubtedly, N. Dubrovin holds a special place in the development of not only Caucasian studies, but also Russian history and archeography. An extensive list of his works can only cause respect and surprise to the creative potential of the author, who masterfully paid his debt to the Fatherland not with a bayonet, but with a pen. “The History of the war and the Rule of the Russians in the Caucasus” and “The Caucasian War” [35; 36]. N. F. Dubrovina are among the first official works in pre-revolutionary historical science with a systematic review of the annexation of the Caucasus to Russia. The publication of these publications was preceded by two monographs — “Transcaucasia from 1803 to 1806” and “George” [14; 15] and numerous articles by the author on Caucasian subjects. The first two “Georgian studies” monographs of Dubrovin are not considered at all as components of the above-mentioned “History of the War...”. Despite the fact that the publication of Dubrovin’s first work “Transcaucasia from 1803 to 1806” caused a great resonance in society and high ratings. In a brilliant review by E. Feoktistov, this work emphasized its importance for the history of coverage of “Russian domination in the Caucasus ...”. A high-ranking reviewer pointed to this work as the first result of the work being prepared by Mr. Dubrovin on the history of the Caucasus. [50, p. 354].

The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the launch in 2022 of the Sakhalin experiment - a pilot project in the field of the carbon units market in Russia. The purpose of the article is to analyze the market of carbon units as an effective economic mechanism for the development of bioeconomy in the world and in Russia. The material for the work was the legislation in the field of the Sakhalin experiment, statistical data, as well as current publications by Russian and foreign authors on the topic of carbon markets. The authors used statistical analysis, as well as general economic and special methods of scientific research. As a result of the study, the mechanisms for the formation of the market for carbon units were studied, and the market for carbon units itself was analyzed as an economic and legal tool for the development of bioeconomic systems on a national and international scale. The analysis of statistical information showed that the carbon market almost doubled from 2018 to 2020, as well as its extremely uneven distribution among the countries of the world: 88% of the carbon market falls on the EU countries and 10% on the USA, the role of other countries is insignificant. In Russia, the carbon market was launched in an experimental form on Sakhalin only in September 2022, but the first results of the experiment can only be assessed in 2024, when the first quotas start working. In 2025, it is planned to achieve carbon neutrality in the Sakhalin Region.
Strength characteristics of an array of fine-grained sandy soil with vertical reinforcement elements from coarse aggregate

This work's main objective was to increase the value of the coefficient of friction between soil grains in the test specimen by adding coarse gravel columns to the fine, sandy soil. In this regard, it was determined that a soil's lowest void ratio should be used as a measuring criterion because it matches the crucial requirement of an independent friction angle from soil gradation, all of the results above were calculated using the outcomes of a laboratory test method. Pressure addition was used to determine the relationships between a mixture with a low void ratio and the critical state or high coefficient of friction angles. Determining the strength characteristics of sand-gravel mixtures may be helped by the linkages. The riverbanks of the Tigris, which had previously been subject to similar cracks and collapses, served as the location for the collection of samples for the purpose of this research.

The completion of the study and examination, it was discovered that the soil is composed of river sediments and that it has the potential to be categorized as soil that is constructed of fine sand. It is generally acknowledged that shear loads are a significant element that contributed to the demise of numerous riverbanks. In this particular field of research, a variety of coarse aggregate column widths and aggregate sizes used to increase the friction angle of soil are investigated via direct shear testing.

When analyzing the qualities of soil, the minimal void ratio is important, Particle size distributions and particle shapes influence their relationship to compressive characteristics, permeability, and shear strength of the soil. While previous studies have modeled the minimal void ratio in terms of the impact of particle size distributions, they have largely disregarded the role that particle shape might play in this parameter. This work examines the effects of three different sizes of coarse aggregate on the minimal void ratio with respect to particle size distributions. Experiments have shown that when the number of fine particles increased the minimum void ratio reduced. The more irregularity there was in the particle shapes, the more difficult it was for particles to make touch with one another, and the more space there was between them. Diagrams depicting the connection between shear strength, angle of friction, and particle size distribution were created from experimental data.
Formation of a sustainable life cycle of construction objects on the "green economy" platform

Published: June 2023

The development of the "green economy" in Russia is slow compared to other countries. Our country is dependent on raw materials. However, Russia can be called a leader in hydropower. More than two hundred river hydroelectric power plants generate up to 20% of all electricity. The world's only tidal power plant operates in the Murmansk Region, and there are five geothermal stations in the Far East.

Solar energy is also used: installations operate in a dozen regions (the most powerful is in the Crimea). There are still few wind farms in Russia – only 16.

In 2019, the national project "Ecology" was approved for five years. As part of its implementation, it is planned to eliminate unauthorized municipal landfills, reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere by 20% and "improve" the Volga and Baikal. This program also includes projects for the conservation of biological diversity and forests of Russia.
Prospects for the use of predictive analytics in construction

Published: June 2023

In an era when the amount of data is growing exponentially, it becomes impossible to effectively process them with the old methods. As a result, there is a growing need to introduce new technologies for processing and analyzing data in all areas of activity, where the construction industry is no exception. One of the innovative ways to use data is predictive - predictive or predictive analytics.

The article gives an idea of the problems and prospects for the use of predictive analytics in the construction industry in Russia.

A review of publications presented in the RSCI - a bibliographic database of scientific publications, mainly by scientists from the Russian Federation and CIS countries, was carried out for the keywords "predictive analytics" and "construction", however, the analysis of published materials for the period from 2011 to 2023 was carried out. showed that only 7 publications were recorded for the specified keywords, which indicates that research in this direction is still of a pioneering nature.

At the same time, it should be noted that the publications deal with drilling issues or are related to energy supply processes. Only 1 work seems interesting within the framework of the presented article, where predictive analytics is applied to preventive maintenance.

The analytics of the construction industry market by respondent companies (organizations of architecture, engineering and construction) is presented.

Analyzed existing services and platforms, including the function of predictive (forecast) analytics. It is noted that the departure of foreign vendors motivated Russian developers to quickly approach the issue of import substitution, and in 2022 a number of domestic companies presented their developments with the functionality of predictive analytics.
