On the quantum complexity of integration of a function with unknown singularity
Authors: Go\`{c}win Maciej
Published: June 2023

In this paper we study the quantum complexity of the integration of a function with an unknown singularity. We assume that the function has $r$ continuous derivatives, with the derivative of order $r$ being H\"older continuous with the exponent $\rho$ on the whole integration interval except the one singular point. We show that the $\ve$-complexity of this problem is of order $\ve^{-1/(r+\rho+1)}$. Since the classical deterministic complexity of this problem is $\ve^{-1/(r+\rho)}$, quantum computers give a speed-up for this problem for all values of parameters $r$ and $\rho$.
Implementation of a new pricing mechanism in the heat supply market
Authors: Zakrevskaya A. G. , Lyubimova N. G.
Published: June 2023

The article notes the lack of investment in heat supply market, which leads to increased wear and tear of both heat sources and heating networks, huge heat losses and non-competitiveness of district heating systems. A proposal is being considered to implement a new model of the heat market in all regions of Russia and to switch from direct state regulation of tariffs for heat energy (capacity) to contractual tariffs, the maximum level of which is determined by the “alternative boiler house” method. However, for those regions where the existing tariffs for heat energy (capacity) are higher than the established limit levels using the “alternative boiler house” method, the authors propose the use of other approaches and methods of tariff regulation, in particular, examples, advantages and disadvantages of using energy service contracts, tariff regulation based on method of return on invested capital, new legislation in terms of obtaining long-term loans for the modernization of infrastructure from the National Welfare Fund and the Housing and Utilities Reform Assistance Fund.

Induction-heated ball-milling: a promising asset for mechanochemical reactions
Authors: Félix Gautier , Fabrègue Nicolas , Leroy César , Métro Thomas-Xavier , Chen Chia-Hsin , Laurencin Danielle
Published: June 2023

While ball-milling is becoming one of the common tools used by synthetic chemists, an increasing number of studies highlight that it is possible to further expand the nature and number of products which can be synthesized, by heating the reaction media during mechanochemical reactions. Hence, developing set-ups enabling to combine heating and milling is an important target, which has been looked into in both academic and industrial laboratories. Here, we report a new approach for heating up reaction media during ball-milling reactions, using induction heating (referred to as i-BM). Our set-up is attractive not only because it enables a very fast heating of the milling medium (reaching ≈80 °C in just 15 s), and that it is directly adaptable to commercially-available milling equipment, but also because it enables heating either the walls of the milling jars or the beads themselves, depending on the choice of the materials which compose them. Importantly, the possibility to heat a milling medium “from the inside” (when using for example a PMMA jar and stainless steel beads) is a unique feature compared to previously proposed systems. Through numerical simulations, we then show that it is possible to finely tune the properties of this heating system (e.g. heating rate and maximum temperature reached), by playing with the characteristics of the milling system and/or the induction heating conditions used. Lastly, examples of applications of i-BM are given, showing how it can be used to help elucidate reaction mechanisms in ball-milling, to synthesize new molecules, and to control the physical nature of milling media.
GPT-3 accurately predicts antimicrobial peptide activity and hemolysis
Authors: Orsi Markus , Reymond Jean-Louis
Published: June 2023

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have gained significant attention in the field of drug discovery due to their potential therapeutic applications in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. Since rationally designing AMPs is notoriously difficult due to the vast number of possible peptide sequences and their complex structure-activity relationship landscape, this problem is ideally suited for machine-learning models, which can be trained from available data to predict new sequences with a desired activity profile. Here we investigated the performance of large language models (LLMs) fine-tuned with data from Database of Antimicrobial Activity and Structure of Peptides (DBAASP) to predict AMP antimicrobial activity and hemolysis from their amino acid sequence. We show that GPT-3 based models perform slightly better than previously reported recurrent neural networks (RNN) and related architectures on comparable datasets. Furthermore, GPT-3 based models perform remarkably well on low data regime. Advantages in terms of training time and costs are also discussed.

Fertilizer use is typically under the limited control of farmers. For the farmers to achieve higher yields and reduce fertilizer loss, competent guidance is required for the best use of these fertilizers. Additionally, there is a connection between rainfall volume and nutrient loss for various fertilizer applications after each rainfall event. Rainfall that is moderate and falls at the right moment can help nutrients penetrate the soil's rooting zone and dissolve dry fertilizer. However, too much rain can increase the possibility of runoff and the pace at which nutrients like nitrogen (N) which is quintessential, phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) which is crucial, manganese (Mn), and boron (B) that is present in the soil. This research presents nutrient recommendations using an updated iteration of the random forest algorithm which is based on time-series data to forecast the required quantity of nutrients for various crops by examining rainfall patterns and crop fertility. The method suggested in this study, comes in handy for improving soil fertility by providing nutrients recommendations for optimum conditions for crop growth and reducing leaching and runoff potential.
Photomorphogenesis and content of carbohydrates in the axial organs of field pean seedlings under the influence of selective light
Authors: Zhmurko V. V. , Avksentieva O. O. , Batuieva Y. D.
Published: June 2023

Background: Light is a multifaceted exogenous factor that plays an important role in plant growth and development. The spectral composition of light is determinative for the regulation of photomorphogenetic processes in plants. Nowadays plants have several groups of photoreceptors that include receptors of red (RL) and far red light (FRL) — phytochromes; receptors of UV-A, blue (BL) and green (GL) light — cryptochromes, phototropins, proteins of the ZEITLUPE family, as well as the UV-B receptor — UVR8 protein. One of the possible mechanisms that realize an activation of photoreceptor systems in the plant may be concerned with carbohydrate metabolism. The research of morphogenetic reactions of seedlings under the action of selective light irradiation by activating photoreceptor systems is important for understanding the mechanisms of regulation of the program of plant organism`s ontogenesis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selective light of different spectrum: RL (660 nm), GL (530 nm) and BL (450 nm) on growth reactions, morphogenesis and content of soluble carbohydrate in axial organs of seedlings of long-day plants.

Materials and methods: 10-day etiolated seedlings of pea Maecenat variety were used for experiments. Activation of photoreceptor systems by red (RL, 660nm), green (GL, 530nm) and blue (BL, 450nm) light was performed for 5 days for 30 minutes using LED matrices. The growth reaction, morphogenesis and the content of soluble mono- and oligosugars in the axial organs of seedlings were analyzed.

Results: The axial organs of seedlings differ in their response to irradiation with selective light. The root system is more sensitive to the action of selective light than the shoot of the seedlings of the long-day plants of the pea Maecenat variety. Activation of photoreceptor systems stimulates growth processes, activates the processes of photomorphogenesis and the biosynthesis of oligosugars de novo, most likely sucrose. Among the spectra of selective light, the maximum stimulating effect is shown by irradiation of the GL (530 nm) in the reactions of the aboveground part and roots. RL (660 nm) and BL (450 nm) show opposite effects: RL initiates a photomorphogenetic program of shoot part, and BL has a greater effect on photomorphogenesis of root system.

Conclusions: Different levels of growth, morphogenetic processes and changes in the content of soluble carbohydrates are probably related to the ability of photoreceptor systems to activate the realization of different ways of photomorphogenesis in the axial organs of seedlings under the influence of selective light of a certain spectrum.

Published: June 2023

Background

Up to 67% of adults experience shoulder pain in their lifetime. Numerous factors are related to the etiology of shoulder pain, one of which is thought to be scapular dyskinesis (SD). Given the prevalence of SD among the asymptomatic population a concern is that the condition is being medicalized (clinical findings suggested to require treatment but is ultimately a normal finding). Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the prevalence of SD among both symptomatic and asymptomatic populations.

Methods

A systematic review of the literature up to July of 2021. Relevant studies identified from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane and CINAHL were screened utilizing the following inclusion and exclusion criteria; inclusion: (a) individuals being assessed as having SD, including reliability and validity studies (b) subjects aged 18 or older; (c) sport and non-sport participants; (d) no date restriction; (e) symptomatic, asymptomatic, or both populations; (f) all study designs except case reports. Studies were excluded if: (a) they were not published in the English language; (b) they were a case report design; (c) the presence of SD was part of the studies inclusion criteria; (d) data were not present distinguishing the number of subjects with or without SD; (e) they did not define participants as having or not having SD. Methodological quality of the studies was assessed utilizing the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.

Results

The search resulted in 11,619 after duplicates were removed with 34 studies ultimately retained for analysis after three were removed due to low quality. A total of 2,365 individuals were studied. Within the studies for the symptomatic athletic and general orthopedic population there were 81% and 57% individuals with SD, respectively, and a total of 60% among both symptomatic groups (sport and general orthopedic population). Within the studies for the asymptomatic athletic and general population there were 42% and 59% individuals with SD, respectively, and a total of 48% among both asymptomatic groups (sport and general orthopedic population).

Limitation

A strict inclusion and exclusion criteria was used to identify studies that provided the appropriate data for the purpose of this study. There was a lack of consistency for measuring SD across studies.

Conclusion

A considerable number of individuals with shoulder symptoms do not present with SD. More revealing is the number of asymptomatic individuals who do present with SD, suggesting that SD may be a normal finding among nearly half of the asymptomatic population.

Background

A large number of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been developed in the English language for various lower extremity orthopaedic pathologies. Twenty different PROMs were recommended for 15 specific musculoskeletal lower extremity pathologies or surgeries. However, the availability of cross-culturally adapted versions of these recommended PROMs is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the cross-culturally adapted versions of recommended PROMs for individuals experiencing orthopedic lower extremity pathologies or undergoing surgeries, and to identify the psychometric evidence that supports their utilization.

Literature Review

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane, CINAHL, SPORTDisucs and Scopus were searched for cross-culturally adapted translated studies through May 2022. The search strategy included the names of the 20 recommended PROMs from previous umbrella review along with the following terms: reliability, validity, responsiveness, psychometric properties and cross-cultural adaptation. Studies that presented a non-English language version of the PROM with evidence in at least one psychometric property to support its use were included. Two authors independently evaluated the studies for inclusion and independently extracted data.

Results

Nineteen PROMS had cross-culturally adapted and translated language versions. The KOOS, WOMAC, ACL-RSL, FAAM, ATRS, HOOS, OHS, MOXFQ and OKS were available in over 10 different language versions. Turkish, Dutch, German, Chinese and French were the most common languages, with each language having more than 10 PROMs with psychometric properties supporting their use. The WOMAC and KOOS were both available in 10 languages and had all three psychometric properties of reliability, validity, and responsiveness supporting their use.

Conclusion

Nineteen of the 20 recommended instruments were available in multiple languages. The PROM most frequently cross-culturally adapted and translated were the KOOS and WOMAC. PROMs were most frequently cross-culturally adapted and translated into Turkish. International researchers and clinicians may use this information to more consistently implement PROMs with the most appropriate psychometric evidence available to support their use.

This study aims to describe the knowledge of Sasirangan cloth entrepreneurs in Sasirangan Village and their perceptions of sharia-based business capital loans. This type of research is a field research with the character of a case study, which is a research carried out by the author directly going to the research location to get the necessary data. This research is descriptive in nature, namely research that seeks to describe existing problems based on data from interviews with informants and analyzes these data. Data analysis used is data collection, data reduction, data display and drawing conclusions. Furthermore, the data that has been analyzed, explained and interpreted in the form of words to describe the facts in the field, the meaning or to answer research questions which are then taken from the essence. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the knowledge of Sasirangan cloth entrepreneurs in Sasirangan Village towards sharia-based business capital loans is still divided into 3, namely: (1) fairly knowledgeable about providing sharia-based business capital loans, (2) not knowing about providing capital loans. sharia-based business, and (3) very little knowledge about the provision of sharia-based business capital loans The perceptions of Sasirangan cloth entrepreneurs in Sasirangan Village towards sharia-based business capital loans are also diverse, namely: informants who have a good view of providing sharia-based business capital loans because they are banking based on Islamic principles in their management and informants who view that Islamic and conventional banking according to they are the same, meaning they both flower in borrowing.

This study aims to determine the role of waqf on economic development in ASEAN countries. The research method used is qualitative methods and data analysis techniques with inductive qualitative methods. The results of the study indicate that Waqf can also be a preferred financing instrument that can develop the economy in ASEAN countries. Fundamentally, waqf management in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam is not much different. The five countries have increased the progress of waqf management. Waqf resources may be able to collect the community's economy and can build the people's economy and community welfare. One of them is cash waqf that can help the trading community, especially as business capital, pay work costs, prepare costs, and be used to build trading facilities with reasonable rents

Geotechnical behavior of gravity dams built on sedimentary rocks: pore pressures and deformations analysis of Dona Francisca HPP foundation
Authors: Santos Verlei , Bressani Luiz , Smirdele Camila
Published: June 2023

In Brazil, some dams have been built on sedimentary rock masses, which usually present greater deformability and permeability in comparison to metamorphic or igneous rock masses. This article describes a case study whose goal is to present and analyze the main data related to the monitoring of foundation behavior of the Dona Francisca dam, whose foundation is essentially constituted by sedimentary rocks. Dona Francisca gravity dam is a hydroelectric power plant (HPP) and was built in 2000, on the Jacuí River, in the central region of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The analysis of the foundation behavior was done in terms of pore pressures and deformations recorded during seventeen years of dam operation. The geological and geotechnical conditions of the foundation are related to the Formação Caturrita rocks, made up mainly of sandstones and intercalated levels of siltstone and argillite. In the first five years of operation there was an intense stabilization process of the foundation rocky mass. After this period, it was verified the occurrence of stabilization at a lower rate. The deformation of the Dona Francisca HPP foundation is higher when compared with other larger dams, such as the Itaipu HPP dam. It was carried out an analysis of the 18 vibrating wire piezometers data, allowing a global assessment about the uplift water pressures behavior. Most piezometers indicated a reduction in the pore pressure values over time with a current trend of stabilization, and readings below the control values recommended in design.
SORCERY, DECEPTION OR HARMLESS JOKE. DIALOGUE ABOUT MAGICAL PRACTICES IN COURT OF EQUITY’S CASES IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Authors:   independent researcher, Kuznetsova Ekaterina A.
Published: June 2023

This article examines a detailed case involving an accusation of witchcraft against peasant Ivan Dulepov, which was heard before the Court of Equity in Nizhny Novgorod in 1812. In comparison with the materials from other Courts of Equity of the first half of the 19th century the one involving Dulepov provides a window onto how the court dealt with cases of using magical, primarily healer’s, practices. Comparative analysis shows that the adjudication in cases of witchcraft was related to the process of translation of peasant’s magical practices into the legal language by a judge and their correlation with the term “witchcraft” in the texts of the documents. The judicial term “witchcraft” included the use of spells that presuppose the accused’s belief in their efficacy and any harmful magical practices, but it excluded practices of healing with prayers and without using any texts (herbal medicine) and magic “for a joke”. The appearance in the course of the investigation of a case-specific bundle of meanings (for example, “witchcraft” and “sin”, “witchcraft” and “swindle”) concretised the nature of punishment (penance, corporal punishment or others). The article shows that the variability of this system of meanings is associated with the vagueness of the laws of the 18th – first half of the 19th centuries and the fluidity of the concept of “witchcraft” in traditional culture. The variability of court sentences in similar cases is also associated with the dialogic nature of testimony. Dialogical structure of the evidences is analyzed on the example of two interrogation points in the testimony of Ivan Dulepov (about the invocation of evil spirits and the belief in the “healing power” of spells) and it is shown how different ways of reading similar concepts by the accused and the judge affect the understanding of magical practices by different parts of the investigation.
HAIR SYMBOLISM IN RUSSIAN WEDDING LAMENTATIONS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Mamonova Svetlana K.
Published: June 2023

The paper is an attempt to identify the main symbolic meanings of the girl’s braid in the texts of wedding lamentations. In the modern researches (works of E.L. Madlevskaya, S.M. Tolstaya, A.V. Gura) the braid was considered only as one subject substitute for the volya/krásota an abstract concept that combined the idea of youth, beauty, virginity of a girl and her reaching childbearing age. In our work, we tried to show that a girl’s hair/braid has a number of eigenvalues. The braid can be interpreted as a symbol of girlish freedom, and this freedom can be of different: it is freedom of choice, freedom of participation in ritual and behavioral practices, relative freedom of appearance. The braid also can have mythological meaning: it can be thought of as a means of testing the groom. Also, the braid is an integral part of the appearance of the bride, which is constantly transforming depending on the stage of the ceremony. In the lamentations related to different stages of the wedding, we note a different configuration of hair: when a girl leaves her family her hair is uncombed and loose. When the groom and his family come the bride appears in all the best. In this way, through a change in hairstyle, changes in the social status of the girl can be reflected.
FISHING CUSTOMS OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE WINTER COAST OF THE WHITE SEA. BASED ON ARCHIVAL MATERIALS OF THE 1930S AND EXPEDITION RECORDS 2007-2019
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskii Dom) Russian Academy of Sciences, Komelina Natalia G.

The article is devoted to Pomor’s magical practices, omens, prohibitions and regulations related to fishing and hunting. They are considered in diachrony, records of ethnographers and folklorists of the 1930s are compared with the field materials of the expeditions of the Pushkin House in 2007–2019. The supplement contains a large publication of materials from the archive of R.S. Lipets. She was one of the first to study the fishing and hunting folklore of the Pomors. In Soviet folklore studies, omens were studied as a text, isolated from the rite, which was considered outside of religion. Publishing them in the way they were deposited in the archive, combining the appeal to the saints in a dangerous situation and the use of magical practices, allows us to better represent the tradition as a whole, without considering separately Christian and non-Christian ideas. Among the trends that can be traced in modern records, compared with the records of the 1930s and 40s, which we can talk about on the basis of interviews, is a fine line between faith, compliance with certain prescriptions and evaluating them as fun.
