Authors:   Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan, Imamverdiyev N. A. , Sattar-zade N. A. ,   Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan
Published: January 2024

The article considers the distribution of accompanying elements (cadmium, indium, selenium, tellurium, bismuth, etc.) in pyrite-polymetallic ores of the Filizchay deposit. It was found that there is a high correlation between the concentrations of cadmium, zinc and lead (r=+0.790 and r=+0.616). The relationship between the contents of cadmium and copper is negative (r=-0.414). Indium - correlated with zinc and cadmium. In the Filizchaya ore deposit, a relatively high amount of indium is present in the upper depth horizons and the western flank of the deposit. The mineralconcentrator of the element is zinc sulfide. A high correlation was established between antimony and arsenic (r=+0.663). There is a significant correlation coefficient of these elements with zinc, lead, silver, bismuth and cadmium. In connection with the regular arrangement of natural types of ores in the composition of a single ore deposit of the deposit, a regular change in the concentrations of these elements is established. In general, there is a vertical and horizontal zonality in the distribution of harmful impurities in the ore deposit. It has been established that the content of antimony and arsenic gradually decreases from the upper to deep horizons. The concentration of antimony and arsenic decreases from the western flank to the east, and the content of mercury from the western flank to the central part increases slightly, and on the eastern flank its concentration decreases to a minimum, selenium is more concentrated from the central part of the ore deposit of the deposit. It was revealed that the formation of the Filizchay deposit was accompanied by a zonal distribution of chemical elements, consistent with the general scheme of mineralogical zoning. Keywords: Accompanying elements; Correlation; Zonality; Distribution of chemical elements.

The vast majority of oil and gas fields in Azerbaijan are at the final (late) stage of development, and therefore a natural decline in production is expected. Despite the long-term development of fields, their reserves are of great industrial importance for ensuring the stability of the energy balance of our country. Therefore, it became necessary to introduce new technologies in order to maintain or partially increase production at fields that are in long-term development. Before carrying out geological activities, it is necessary to apply a new type of more modern borehole geophysical research in order to involve in the processing of zones with residual resources of these depleted fields. From this point of view, the article considers the application and results of modern borehole geophysical surveys, and analyzes the possibilities for expansion.

The purpose of the research in the article is to develop a method for evaluating the efficiency of the water injection process. For this purpose, a number of computer studies are carried out. In view of this, a computer simulation of water injection process is applied. Using oil parameters from IX horizon of Guneshli field as PVT-properties of oil in reservoir conditions, the process of oil displacement by water injection in various technological modes is studied, the correlation between the injection rate and the amount of incremental oil production is determined. For this purpose the process of oil displacement in a hypothetical field is modeled on the basis of the idea of «enlarged well» at different injection rates, such as 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. and 75 m3/day. Water injection is carried out in the area of external reservoir boundary. In addition, the reservoir development process in the depletion regime is predicted for comparison. In both cases, the formation radius is considered as a circular layer equivalent to the real layer. Analysis of the obtained results determines the criteria for minimizing economic risks during water injection process. It is shown that at low rates of water injection, the numerical value of this parameter decreases with an increase of water volume injected per day. However, after a certain value of the injection rate, the efficiency factor increases with an increase of the water injected volume per day.

Published: January 2024

The dialectics that have led to an explosion of free movement of persons within ECOWAS borders largely constitute a new dimension of security threats in the region. The security threats emanating from incessant human migration within the region have predictably distorted the security architecture of Nigeria, thereby posing colossal pressures on the Nigerian armed forces, as well as leading to the loss of human lives, properties, and financial resources. The study investigated how ECOWAS protocol on free movement of persons and porous borders in the West African region orchestrate armed banditry in Nigeria. The work was anchored on the Qualitative-Descriptive method of analysis, and ‘inelastic political will’ was adopted as an analytical construct that explains the inability ofECOWAS member governments as well as the Nigerian government to employ sustainable strategies in tackling the ever-changing security threat dimensions within the region. It was revealed that chaotic and explosive cross-border migration of persons in West Africa has a relationship with the new dimension of armed banditry in Nigeria. The study recommended that the ECOWAS framework that promotes the free movement of people be reviewed and amended to address current security crises in the region. Also, there is a need for the Nigerian government to reinforce viable and strong diplomatic ties with the neighboring countries such as Benin, Chat, Niger, and Cameroon regarding border infrastructure development and security enhancement mechanisms to cover ungoverned spaces in the Chad Basin Region.

Introduction: Studies on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) levels in COVID-19 patients are limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between some biomarkers of oxidant-antioxidant status with COVID-19 disease. Material and methods: The patients older than 18 years of age who tested positive for SARS CoV-2 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) with clinical symptoms and signs were included in this study. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total antioxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI) and HO-1 and Nrf2 levels were analyzed from serum samples taken before and after treatment. Results: In this study, 16 patients followed up with the diagnosis of COVID-19 were included. 9 (56.3%) of the patients were female and 7 (43.8%) were male. The mean age was 33.75 ± 17.03 years. All patients were symptomatic and were hospitalized to be followed up. It was determined that Nrf2 and HO-1 values increased significantly after treatment. Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between Nrf2 and TAS values and TAS increases significantly in parallel to an increase in Nrf2, and there was a significant but negative correlation between Nrf2 and TOS and OSI values, and thus an increase in Nrf2 led to a decrease in TOS and OSI values. There was a significant positive correlation between HO-1 and TAS, and TAS increased significantly, as HO-1 increased. Conclusions: The decrease in TOS and OSI and the increase in Nrf2 and HO-1 during the follow-up period in COVID-19 patients suggest that the body tries to prevent ROS-related oxidative stress via Nrf2 and HO-1 and that oxidative stress may have a key role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19.

Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the initial 6 months of life, followed by the introduction of supplementary foods together with breast milk after 6 months, and then continuing to breastfeed until the child reaches 2 years of age. Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) was developed to identify which infant feeding methods pregnant women are more inclined towards during the early stages of pregnancy. In our study, we aimed to assess the feeding practices of mothers using the IIFAS. Material and methods: The study was planned with consenting pregnant women who applied to the gynaecology clinic, pregnancy outpatient clinic and pediatric outpatient clinic of our hospital. Those who had problems such as drug use, chronic disease, psychological disorder, anatomical disorder that would prevent breastfeeding, syndromic condition, indication for hospitalisation were excluded from the study. A questionnaire regarding the demographic profile of the mothers and the IIFAS was filled out. Subsequently, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the mothers on the seventh day, third month, and sixth month to gather information. Results: The study was completed with 96 mothers. According to the IOWA infant feeding scale scores of the mothers, there were 26 (27.1%) mothers in the breastfeeding-prone group with a score of 70 and above and 70 (72.9%) mothers in the undecided group with a score between 49-69. Since none of the pregnant women scored between 17-48, the group predisposed to formula feeding was not formed. There were no significant variations observed between the groups with regard to age, family type, and mode of delivery; however, there was a notable disparity in the educational and informational statuses of the mothers. Conclusions: The fact that mothers were mostly undecided about the recommendations related to the IIFAS indicates the need for information about breast milk.

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is an Anaerobic Gram-Negative bacterium present in the oral microbiology of cats and dogs. It can produce infections in humans, being capable of causing severe complications with the development of septic shock. There are known cases where this bacterium developed medical complications like thrombotic microangiopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulation. We have the case of 79 years old male that developed thrombotic microangiopathy and splenic infarction linked to bacteraemia by Capnocytophaga canimorsus. Due to its severity, it was necessary to start renal replacement therapy and several sessions of plasmapheresis with good evolution.

Para-testicular masses are a rare entity, and therefore the diagnosis and management nearly always lead to clinical doubts. Aside from the doubts that arise from these masses being uncommon, it is always necessary to rule out the malignancy process of them. Sexual cord tumors are extremely rare. Testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin is a proliferative process that can develop in para-testicular structures. The objective of our study is to present a rare case report of testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin as well as the well-documented diagnostic process and the successful therapeutic management that was subsequently carried out. We report a case of a 68-year old male who came in for a consult due to the casual finding of a nodule in his left testicle with normal tumor markers. Ultrasonography showed a nodular image that was well-defined with a diffusely homogeneous echotexture; it was also hypoechoic, vascularized and demonstrated hydrocele. MRI revealed a solid tumor with extrinsic growth to the left testicle and epididymis, and the lesion was relatively hyperintense in T1-weighted image and hypointense in T2. A surgical exeresis of the para-testicular tumor and hydrocelectomy was performed. The pathological anatomy and immunohistochemistry revealed a fibroma of gonadal stromal origin. Histopathological analysis made a diagnosis, although its clinical and radiological characteristics make it one of the differential diagnoses to consider in testicular tumors. Its characteristics, radiological and histopathological, allow for conservative management in clinical practice.

The current study explored how relational antecedents and emotional experiences were associated with faculty-centered versus student-centered approaches to teaching in higher education. One hundred and forty-one faculty members from two institutions of higher education in the United States completed self-report surveys regarding an undergraduate course they were teaching that semester. Path analyses showed that faculty reports of a secure attachment style were positively correlated with positive teaching-related emotions and, in turn, with greater use of a student-centered, inquiry-based approach to teaching emphasizing engagement with course material and restructuring of students’ knowledge. Faculty reports of avoidant and anxious-ambivalent attachment styles were correlated with greater negative teaching-related emotions and, in turn, with greater use of a faculty-centered, direct instruction teaching approach. These findings suggest that attachment theory is a useful lens through which to understand why faculty might feel more positively or negatively about their teaching and, in turn, the teaching approaches they employ. We discuss how our findings might inform the re-design of faculty training programs to encourage reflection on relationship styles and greater positive emotions about teaching.

Published: January 2024

Kemampuan representasi matematis anak-anak yang tidak memadai mendorong penelitian ini. Oleh karena itu, peneliti ingin menjawab tantangan tersebut dan melakukan analisis yang lebih menyeluruh terhadap kemampuan representasi matematis siswa pada materi kubus. Dalam matematika, geometri adalah subbidang. Pelajaran geometri di sekolah menengah sering kali memanfaatkan gambar-gambar benda nyata untuk membantu siswa lebih memahami konsep. Grafik mematuhi banyak aturan tak terucapkan. Tanpa pemahaman yang baik, kesepakatan ini bisa saja menyesatkan siswa dalam kaitannya dengan benda-benda geometri. Namun mereka mudah untuk dibuat sketsanya dan merupakan alat yang ampuh untuk mengatasi masalah geometri. Hal inilah yang mendasari penggambaran kubus dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian deskriptif kualitatif adalah inti dari penelitian ini. Tiga puluh siswa dari satu kelas dijadikan subjek dalam penelitian ini. Wawancara juga dilakukan peneliti kepada enam orang siswa yang dipilih dari subjek penelitian sesuai dengan nilai ujiannya. Wawancara, survei, dan bahan arsip (teknologi audiovisual) digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data. Mereduksi data, menyajikan data, dan menarik kesimpulan merupakan langkah-langkah dalam analisis data. Triangulasi teknis digunakan untuk menilai kebenaran data. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cara yang baik untuk memperlihatkan kubus adalah dengan gambar perspektif paralel. Dalam gambar seperti ini, dimensi rusuk bagian dalam tidak boleh lebih panjang dari lebar dan tinggi, serta sisi-sisinya harus sejajar dan identik. Meski begitu, bentuknya tidak akan tampak datar pada sekilas pandangan.

В адиабатическом приближении исследован несколько частичный парновзаимодействующий газ тяжелых дырок, локализованный в сильно-вытянутой эллипсоидальной квантовой точке Ge/Si. Потенциал межчастичного взаимодействия рассматривается в рамках одномерной модели атома Мошинского, когда взаимодействие зависит от квадрата расстояния между частицами. В рамках Больцмановского приближения аналитически вычислена статистическая сумма несколько частичного дырочного газа. Исследованы основные термодинамические параметры системы, такие как средняя энергия, свободная энергия, энтропия и теплоемкость. Показано, что учет межчастичного взаимодействия приводит к упорядочиванию системы, что, в частности, отражается на энтропии газа.

In the frame of adiabatic approximation a few-particle pair-interacting heavy holes gas localized in a strongly oblate Ge/Si ellipsoidal quantum dot has been studied. The interparticle interaction potential is considered within the framework of the one-dimensional Moshinsky atom model when the interaction depends on the square of the distance between particles. Within the framework of the Boltzmann approximation, the partition function of a few-particle hole gas is analytically obtained. The main thermodynamic parameters of the system, such as mean energy, free energy, entropy, and heat capacity, have been investigated. It is shown that taking into account interparticle interaction leads to ordering of the system, which, in particular, affects the entropy of the gas.

Pre-service teachers must implement paperless behavior in line with institutional policies, technological developments, and environmentally friendly issues. Pre-service teacher candidates are expected to have digital competence in skills, abilities, and knowledge to successfully use computers, their related applications, and software in teaching and educational practice. It is predicted to affect their paperless behavior because digital activities reduce paper use. This study aimed to analyze the influence of prospective teachers’ digital competencies on their paperless behavior. The research is based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) using a quantitative approach involving 372 pre-service teachers at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES). Sampling was done by purposive sampling with specific criteria. The results of the study show that digital competence has an influence on paperless behavior by 43.1%. These findings add insight into the role of digital competence in an environmentally friendly learning process. This research suggests increasing students’ digital competence so that students’ paperless behavior rises in line with environmental issues.

Objective: Equine herpes viruses (EHVs) are considered one of the most important respiratory pathogens in equids, resulting in serious outcomes for equine health worldwide. The objectives of the current research were the detection, molecular characterization, and isolation of EHV-1 and EHV-4 circulating within different equine populations in Egypt, either clinically or in apparently healthy horses.
Material and Methods: A total of 120 field samples were collected, and DNA was extracted. Screening and typing of extracted DNA were done by consensus and conventional PCR assays for detection of EHV-1 and EHV-4, followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis to confirm the virus identity. Selected positive samples for both EHV-1 and EHV-4 were subjected to Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cell lines for virus isolation.
Results: The obtained results revealed that 58/120 (48%) samples were positive for EHVs. Typing of positive samples showed that EHV-1 was detected in (48/120) 40% of samples and EHV-4 was detected in (15/120) 12% of samples, while dual infection by both EHV-1 and 4 was detected in five samples.
Conclusion: The current study revealed new data on the continuous circulation of EHV-1 and EHV-4 within equine populations in Egypt, and individual horses could be infected by multiple EHVs. In addition, latently infected horses are acting as potential reservoirs for frequent virus reactivation.

Objective: This research aims to investigate the microbial diversity of Budu prepared from fresh and frozen fish from the Pariaman and Pasaman districts in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, as well as provide basic information about Budu quality.
Materials and Methods: To obtain the bacterial microbial composition, deoxyribonucleic acid extraction was carried out using amplicon-sequencing of the 16S-rRNA gene in the V3–V4 region from two types of Budu and carried out in duplicate.
Results: Budu prepared with fresh (Pariaman) or frozen (Pasaman) fish was dominated by Firmicutes (78.455%–92.37%) and Proteobacteria (6.477%–7.23%) phyla. The total microbial species in Budu from Pariaman were higher (227 species) than in Pasaman (153 species). The bacterial species found are Lentibacillus kimchi (1.878%–2.21%), Staphylococcus cohnii (0.597%–0.70%), Peptostreptococcus russeli (0.00%–0.002%), Clostridium disporicum (0.073%–0.09%), Clostridium novyi (0.00%–0.01%), Nioella sediminis (0.00%–0.001%), and Shewanella baltica (0.00%–0.003%). Lentibacillus kimchi, S. cohnii, and C. disporicum are found in both Budu. Nioella sediminis and S. baltica are found in Budu Pariaman. Peptostreptococcus russeli and C. novyi were found in Budu Pasaman.
Conclusion: Metagenomic analysis of Budu from different fish, Pariaman (fresh fish) and Pasaman (frozen fish) showed that the biodiversity of bacteria was barely different. Both Budu found lactic acid bacteria from the Enterococcaceae family, genus Vagococcus, and pathogenic bacteria, such as S. cohnii, P. russeli, C. disporicum, and S. baltica. The discovery of various species of pathogenic bacteria indicates that development is still needed in the Budu production process to improve Budu quality.
Study on the impact of price hikes on the standard of living among different socioeconomic groups in the Khulna Division of Bangladesh using cross-sectional and multinomial logistic regression analysis
Authors: Ghosh Esita
Published: January 2024

This study investigates the impact of price hikes on the standard of living among different socioeconomic groups in the Khulna Division of Bangladesh. Employing various statistical techniques, including frequency distribution, cross-sectional analysis, bi-variate analysis, and multinomial logistic regression. Using a sample of 109 respondents, we scrutinize the intricate relationship between price fluctuations and living standards among diverse income strata. Our objective is to measure how price hikes affect the standard of living of middle, poor, and extremely poor income individuals in the region. The results reveal significant disparities in the way price hikes affect these socioeconomic groups. Lower-income households are disproportionately impacted, experiencing a more substantial decline in their standard of living. In contrast, middle-income individuals tend to maintain their living standards. Factors such as income, access to social services, and education play crucial roles in these disparities. Based on our findings, we recommend targeted policies aimed at improving access to essential services, providing income support, and offering financial literacy programs for the most vulnerable groups. My research underscores the need for tailored interventions to protect the standard of living in the Khulna Division as prices continue to rise. This study contributes valuable insights to policy discussions and efforts to address economic disparities in the region.

На подложке из TiNi сплава был сформирован Ti-Ni-Ta поверхностный сплав в результате импульсного плавления системы «Ti60Ta40 (ат. %) пленка/TiNi подложка» низкоэнергетическим сильноточным электронным пучком. Изучено влияние электронно-пучковой обработки на микроструктуру и упруго-напряженное состояние В2 фазы в поверхностной модифицированной области образца. Анализ, проведенный с использованием методов рентгеновской дифрактометрии и просвечивающей электронной микроскопии, показал наличие градиентной структуры в наружном слое образца с поверхностным сплавом. Поверхностный сплав состоит из двух слоев: остро текстурированный наружный слой толщиной ~150 нм на основе фазы α-Ta и аморфный подслой толщиной ~500 нм. На глубине свыше ~750 нм располагается зона термического влияния, включающая подслои подложки с В2 и В19' структурами. После электронно-пучковых обработок значение параметра решетки B2 фазы уменьшается с 3,0137 Å до 2,9950 Å. Установлено, что данные изменения параметров решетки матричной В2 фазы в подслоях TiNi подложки частично обусловлены остаточными напряжениями сжатия в направлении, перпендикулярном облученной поверхности. Рентгенодифракционный анализ показал, что в образце с Ti-Ni-Ta поверхностным сплавом максимальные остаточные напряжения достигают значений ~ –290 МПа и распределены в прилежащем к синтезированному слое TiNi подложки, соответствующем зоне термического влияния.

Published: January 2024

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem. It is an inflammatory condition defined by a malfunction of the immune system's regulatory mechanism. MicroRNA-223 (miRNA-223) has been linked to the modulation of AR in the last few years. The goal of this study was to determine whether miR-223 can be utilized as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of AR, and whether it correlates with the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) along with serum interleukin-17 (IL-17), interleukin-4 levels (IL-4) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN). This study included 76 adult participants, consisted of 38 AR patients and 38 apparently healthy controls. Serum levels of miR-223 were assayed using real-time PCR. The levels of EDN, IL-17 and IL-4 in the serum were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The optimal cutoff value for the analyzed factors to diagnose AR was determined using a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (ROC). The demographic features (age and gender) of the two study groups were matched. Patients with pollen-induced AR had significantly higher levels of miR-223 in their serum compared to the controls (median = 3.82; median = 1.03, respectively, p < 0.001). In AR cases, a significant positive association was observed between miR-223 expression level and TNSS (r = 0.492, p = 0.002), EDN serum level (r = 0.427, p = 0.008), IL-4 serum level (r = 0.341, p = 0.036) and IL-17 serum level (r = 0.324, p = 0.047). MiR-223, at a cutoff value of 1.18, had a sensitivity and specificity of 94.9 % and 92.5%, respectively. In conclusion, miR-223 expression is significantly greater in blood of AR patients. There is a significant association between miR-223 and clinical severity of AR, each of IL-17 and IL-4 as well as EDN. Therefore, miR-223 may be employed as an effective biomarker for AR diagnosis.
