Subject of research: prophylactic iodine-containing drug developed for iodine deficiency prevention on the basis of the Amur Region’s natural zeolites. Test objective: assessment of acute and chronic toxicity using laboratory rats as experimental animals; assessment
of sub-chronic toxicity using newborn calves as experimental animals. Method of study of
acute toxicity: initial dose-1.0 g / kg of body weight, which was increased up to 2,0 g/kg in
two days. Later on the dose was doubled to determine average lethal dose (LD50). Chronic
toxicity was determined by feeding three groups of laboratory rats with the drug doses 1.0,
2.0 and 3.0 g / kg of body weight for 60 days. To determine sub-chronic toxicity, the newborn
calves were fed with drug dose of 2.0 g / kg for 30 days. It was found that prophylactic iodinecontaining drug, developed on the basis of the Amur Region’s natural zeolites, had neither
acute and chronic toxicity for laboratory rats, nor sub-chronic toxicity for calves. Prophylactic drug being fed to rats increases the body weight of rats of experimental groups. Introduction of iodine-containing drug to the diet of newborn calves for the prevention of iodine deficiency for 30 days is accompanied by improved immunobiochemical parameters of animals.

The current stage of the development of cattle-breeding in the Amur Region is characterized by ever-increasing demands for a quantitative increase in production, improvement
of its quality and cost reduction. In accomplishing these tasks, along with other factors, a
special role is given to the rational use of feed and full feeding of farm animals. The solution
of this issue in the Amur region has its own specific features, which are determined by the
whole complex of natural and climatic conditions that have a direct impact on the nature of
development and the productive capabilities of the local food supply. Rational management
of animal husbandry and poultry farming are possible only with the optimal using available
local feed and the correct balancing of rations in regard to organic and mineral substances
in accordance with the detailed feeding norms taking into account local conditions. Agricultural production in all countries depends largely on biogeochemical and climatic conditions.
Ecological conditions of fodder production and agrotechnical cultivation of fodder crops influence the crop yield, chemical composition and nutritional value of local fodder crops. Priamurye belongs to the biogeochemical province with a deficiency in the biosphere of standardized mineral substances and an excess of number of highly toxic metals (Cd, Pb, Hg) in
the northern regions, which in turn influence the content of these elements in feed of farm
animals and animal products. The purpose of the research was to study chemical composition
of the feed in order to determine the content of heavy metal in feed in northern and southern
parts of the Amur Region depending on soil acidity. The content of selenium, mercury, lead
and cadmium in soil and feed was determined by spectrophotometric method with the help of
digital spectrophotometer of Unico 1201 brand.

The conservation of rare and endangered species of animals, which are an important
and most vulnerable component of ecosystems and an indicator of their condition, is of great
importance for preserving the species diversity of the planet. Among the species and subspecies of animals, the preservation of which is of concern to mankind today, one of the central
places belongs to the Amur tiger and the Far-Eastern leopard, symbolizing the wealth and
grandeur of virginal nature. The information about changes of internal organs under pathological processes in wild feline is absent in the literature. The corpses of the Amur tiger, the
Far-Eastern leopard and the Far-Eastern forest cat served as the material for the research.
From year 2007 till year 2017, the authors carried out pathoanatomical study of 44 young
and adult Amur tigers, three Far Eastern leopards and five specimens of the Far Eastern
forest cats. The findings revealed pathoanatomical changes in wild feline of the Far East
suffered from alimentary dystrophy, and were important in the process of forensic veterinary
examination. Young animals died from cardiac arrest against the background of brown atrophy of myocardium, liver, caused by alimentary dystrophy, complicated by pneumonia and
rickets. The death of adult tigers, leopards and wild cats occurred mainly as a result of anthropogenic factors (killing). These animals with mixed helminthiasis, infectious diseases,
injuries are not able to forage, they develop alimentary dystrophy, characterized by degeneration of pericardial fat, lipochrome staining of fatty tissue residues, liver degeneration, stagnant pneumonia.

The paper presents the results of the studies of experimental samples based on strains of
bacteria Bacillus subtilis: BZR 336g, BZR 517 and Pseudomonas sp.: BZR 245-F. The research was
carried out in the field, using the tomato variety Novichok. The area of the plot is 5 sq. m.; the replication of the experiment is 3-fold. In the experiment of 7 options, there were options with treatment
of seeds and roots of seedlings and options with treatment of seeds, roots of seedlings and spraying
of vegetation with biological preparations. Control had no treatment. During the growing season,
phenological observations were carried out, data on disease incidence were recorded, harvest was
gathered in separately on each plot as it matured. Diagnostics of diseases was carried out with the
help of external signs. The degree of damage to tomato plants by diseases was assessed in accordance
with 9-point scale. In the course of the studies it was noted that in all options the seeds germinated 3
days earlier, the formation of buds was 3-4 days earlier than in the control group. Records on disease
incidence showed that preparations based on strains BZR 336g, BZR 517, 245 F used in the treatment
of seeds and roots of seedlings provided protection of tomato from Septoria, late blight disease of
tomato and contributed to an increase in yield. The yield of tomato depending on the options ranged
from 7.6 (seed treatment, seedling roots and spraying of plants BZR 336g) to 9.0 t / ha (seed treatment
and seedling roots BZR 517).
Re: PROBLEM OF SELECTION OF METHODS OF MACHINE MAINTENANCE: MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION
Authors:   Irkutsk State Agrarian University named after A.A. Ezhevsky, Habardin Vasilij N.
Published: February 2025

Currently, the scientific and technical literature increasingly includes scientific works on
resource saving and safety of maintenance (M) of tractors, combine harvesters and other machines.
According to the rules of GOST 20793-2009 tractors maintenance is carried out under stationary
conditions (at workshops, service stations and centers – SC). The periodic M -1 and M-2 may be
performed at the place of their work in the field using mobile service units (MSU), which leads to the
choice of methods of maintenance of these machines and therefore the need for relevant methodology. Of course, this method should have a resource-saving orientation and take into account the working
conditions of the operator. Therefore, this work is devoted to solving the problem of choosing the
methods of machines maintenance, in particular, the development of an appropriate mathematical
description. As a result of its implementation, a theoretical justification for the choice of maintenance
methods is proposed, taking into account the working conditions of the operator in the field. For this
purpose, the unit cost of maintenance (ruble/moto-h) is used as the main estimation indicator, and
maintenance methods are selected as follows: centralized, decentralized and combined. As a result,
we have developed a mathematical description for calculating and selecting the methods of machine
maintenance, which is a linear function of the unit cost of maintenance. The correctness of the mathematical description is established by the units of measurement of its terms (components), which
coincide with their values at the output.

Microbial signals trigger the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) through peptidyl-arginine-deiminase-4 (PADI4). In turn, NETosis can propagate inflammation to distant tissues. We hypothesize that PADI4 mediates the interactions between diet-modified microbiota and host metabolism. We report that in the adipose tissue of individuals with obesity, NETosis was associated with dysglycemia. In mice, high-fat diet (HFD) induced not only dysmetabolism and meta-inflammation but also local and systemic signs of NETosis. Deleting Padi4 in hematopoietic cells (Padi4KO) blunted liver and adipose inflammation and improved metabolism under HFD. While NETs were able to disrupt gut epithelial integrity, abrogating NETosis preserved intestinal barrier function and mitigated metabolic endotoxemia due to HFD. Padi4 deletion did not prevent diet-induced dysbiosis, but Padi4KO mice were protected from intestinal hyper-permeability and metabolic impairment due to the transfer of HFD-modified microbiota. As Padi4KO did not blunt the dysmetabolic effects of LPS, we conclude that NETosis operates at the microbiota-intestinal interface, inducing hyperpermeability and the systemic spillover of bacterial-derived products, paving the way to the metabolic consequences of HFD. Finally, pharmacologic PADI4 inhibition recapitulated findings obtained in Padi4KO mice on metabolism and liver steatosis, thereby uncovering a druggable role for PADI4 in mediating the metabolic effects of unhealthy microbiota.

MEDIA TRANSFORMATION OF ALTERNATE UNIVERSE (AU) USING K-POP ARTISTS' VISUAL CLAIMS INTO NOVEL FORM
Authors: Wiratsih Woro , Wahyuni Aprilia Kristiana Tri
Published: February 2025

Alternate Universe (AU) is a form of popular fiction that is much loved by today's young generation. In the AU form found on social media, the storyline is built not with narrative but with pictures containing chats between characters and also photos with visual claims of K-Pop idols. The tendency of the younger generation who are also K-Pop fans is currently to prefer reading AU in the form of fanfiction which presents light plots and conflicts with visual claims using more interesting K-Pop group idols. However, in its development, a debate emerged that the AU could not be considered a work of fiction because it did not have narratives that build a storyline from the conflict raised like a literary work such as a novel. This research uses a virtual ethnographic method where researchers conducted interviews with 7 AU writers to find out the process of transferring media from fictional stories from pictures containing conversations to short messages or uploading stories on social media with visual claims using the faces of K-Pop idols into works. fiction in the form of a novel. This data was used to determine the obstacles in creating narratives in novels based on their AU works. Apart from that, direct observations were also carried out by comparing AU works and novels from the author's titles to find out how descriptions were developed in narrative form and sentence formation in paragraphs in the novel. This research aims to explain the process of converting AU's work into a complete novel. From these interviews and comparing the AU form with the novel form, it was found that there was a change in the storyline, especially in the development of conflict because AU works were felt to be lighter and often the conflict was not strong enough to be written in a work of fiction in the form of a novel. Apart from that, there are also several novels that still include pictures containing typical AU short messages in the novel because they feel that these scenes are difficult to turn into narratives. There were many parts that ended up being replaced and changed to create a complete novel.

Published: February 2025

After a brief, general introduction to AI, the present article will discuss whether AI itself has freedom of expression or whether it only entitles to tech companies that own AI. All this is relevant in the context of whether we can consider AI a separate legal actor in the context of content creation on social media, which is the second main issue of this article. Here, negative and positive cases of content moderation will be presented, i.e., whether the full spectrum of content moderation in social media can be entrusted to AI as a separate actor with respect to liability, or whether moderation requires some form of human control, direction or supervision.
Contradiction of Power Within Muslim Women in Minangkabau Matrilineal Society
Authors: Alam Lukis , Muhammad Atha Mahdi
Published: February 2025

This research explores the relationship between power and gender, focusing mainly on Minangkabau Muslim women. The study integrates a literature review with ethnographic methods to understand how these women navigate societal structures that prioritize male authority, commonly referred to as ‘patriarchal frameworks ‘, while adhering to cultural traditions. Data were collected from academic sources, community reports, and fieldwork, highlighting women’s lived experiences in key lineage and household leadership positions. The findings indicate that while Minangkabau Muslim women are empowered by their roles as lineage bearers and heads of households, they encounter significant challenges due to the intersection of gender and Islamic norms. Tensions emerge between their matrilineal heritage and the patriarchal structures reinforced by specific interpretations of Islam, which restrict their economic participation, decision-making power, and access to resources. Despite these constraints, women utilize strategies such as pursuing financial independence, engaging in education, and reinterpreting Islamic teachings to align with their cultural and gender identities. This research emphasizes the complexities of gender dynamics in matrilineal societies, especially where Islamic norms intersect with local traditions. It highlights the importance of evolving cultural practices in fostering more inclusive and equitable social structures, offering a potential pathway for positive change within the Minangkabau community.

Each agent is tailored with distinct goals, mining data in line with its identified problem set. Mobile agents understand insights from relevant agents equipped with specialized data knowledge. Outcomes from diverse agents converge, serving as foundational data for mobile agents. This integration is facilitated by integrating adaptive automata and genetic algorithms, enhancing the mobile agent’s expertise on a particular task.
Teaching students to recognize and deal with Situations of Uncertainty at uncontrolled crossings
Authors: Troisi Jolene , Sauerburger Dona
Published: February 2025

A significant aspect of Orientation and Mobility is teaching travellers with visual impairments systematic methods to access their environment and evolving these methods to match the complexity of the world around us. At crossings where there is no traffic signal or stop sign, there are increasingly many situations where it is no longer best practice to assume it is clear to cross when quiet, or simply re-route and avoid. This article explains a step-by-step method O&M specialists can use for teaching travellers with visual impairments how to determine if a crossing is a “Situation of Uncertainty” or a “Situation of Confidence” by helping them develop an intuitive understanding of their own crossing time; learn to intuitively and accurately compare their crossing time with the warning time of approaching vehicles; and judge whether or not they can be confident that it is clear to cross whenever it is quiet in that situation. Following this, the article discusses a method that learners can use to determine the level of risk at any given crossing so they can decide if the level of risk is acceptable or unacceptable to them.

Zur Überprüfung der Wirkung des Autogenen Trainings auf verschiedene Streßreaktionen wurden 20 freiwillige Kursteinehmer von zwei Autogenes-Trainings-Anfängerkursen herangezogen und mit 29 weibli- chen und männlichen Malkursteilnehmern, die das Autogene Training nicht durchführten und ebenfalls freiwillig an dieser Studie teilnahmen, verglichen. Die erste Erhebung fand jeweils vor Beginn der einzelnen Kurse statt, und die zweite erfolgte nach 10 Stunden, nach Beendigung des Kurses für Autogenes Training, für beide Untersuchungsgruppen. Die einzelnen Effekte der Streß- reaktionen wurden bei beiden Gruppen mit dem Streßverarbeitungsfragebogen (SVF) zu beiden Meßzeitpunkten erfaßt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß das Autogene Training erfolgreich signifikant das Bedürfnis nach sozialer Unter- stützung, sozialer Abkapselung und Aggression als Streßreaktion entsprechend verändern konnte. Beide Gruppen wiesen eine vergleichbare signifikante Abnahme der Streßreaktionen: Gedankliche Weiterbeschäftigung, Selbstbemit- leidung und Fluchttendenz auf. Keine Veränderungen zeigten die übrigen Streßverarbeitungsmaßnahmen des Fragebogens. Der Effekt des Autogenen Trainings auf die psychische, somatische und psychomatische Beschwerden- situation wurde mit den gleichen Stichproben zu gleichen Meßzeitpunkten mit der änderungssensitiven Symptomskala (AT-SYM) erfaßt. Die Stichprobengröße der beiden Gruppen änderte sich jedoch durch die nicht vollständige Bearbeitung aller Subskalen. Das Autogene Training zeigt eine signifikant posi- tive Wirkung auf körperliche und psychische Erschöpfung und Schmerz- belastetheit. Vergleichbare signifikante Verbesserungen bei beiden Gruppen zeig- ten sich bei Nervosität und innerer Anspannung, psychophysiologischer Dysregulation, Leistungs- und Verhaltensschwierigkeiten und der gesamten Problembelastetheit und Beschwerden. Kein signifikanter Effekt fand sich bei der Subskala: Probleme der Selbstbestimmung und -kontrolle.

Religion(en) und Ethik: Problemfelder fachlicher und fachdidaktischer Integration am Beispiel einer „Buddhistischen Ethik“
Authors: Rassiller Markus
Published: February 2025

Dieser Beitrag dekonstruiert Elemente des Diskurses über eine Buddhistische Ethik ausgehend von folgenden Hypothesen: Dem Diskurs ‚Buddhistische Ethik‘ liegt eine westliche Aneignungsstrategie zugrunde, die buddhistische Lehren an westliche Wissensdispositive anschlussfähig machen möchte.Über die Bezugnahme auf eine so konstruierte ‚Buddhistische Ethik‘ werden buddhistische Tradi- tionen homogenisiert und essentialisiert. Buddhismen werden dadurch in ein überzeitliches System transformiert, das wesentliche Unterschiede zwischen buddhistischen Strömungen und Traditionen nivelliert. Das im Diskurs ‚Buddhistische Ethik‘ formierte Dispositiv präsupponiert eine Deutungshoheit der Moralphilosophie gegenüber religiösen Handlungsnormen und religionswissenschaftlichen Deutungen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Hyothesen kommt zu dem Schluss, dass das, was als‚‚buddhistische Ethik‘ bezeichnet wird, nicht aus der Einbettung in das religiöse Denken von Buddhist:innen und in grundlegende Aspekte der Glaubenslehre gelöst werden kann. Auf Grundlage dieser Diagnose werden schließlich einige fachdidaktische Prinzipien zur Behandlung des in Rede stehenden Themas im Unterricht vorgestellt.

Published: February 2025

Distinguishing between neighbouring atomic number elements in the vicinity of a probed metal centre is challenging when using X-ray spectroscopies. This study shows the suitability of X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) to probe a ligand (ns, np) – Zr (4d) to Zr (1s) valence to core (VtC) emission line in Zr based compounds. We sucessully demonstrate the differentiation between fluorine and oxygen environments around Zr. These findings were directly applied to compounds that have been reported for catalytic activity in C-F bond activation or oxygen evolution reactions. The results show different contributions of the respective precursors , oxygen, and fluorine in the local environment of the compounds.
Temperature-Dependent Mechanistic Control of Nonadiabatic Tunnelling in Triplet Carbenes
Authors: Manae Meghna A. , Richardson Jeremy O.
Published: February 2025

Experiments on three chemically similar triplet carbenes observed the reaction of one at 10 K, another only when heated to 65 K, whereas the third remained stable despite heating. As the products are singlets, it is clear that the reactions involve intersystem crossing in addition to intramolecular hydrogen transfer. Here, instanton theory is used to study various possible reaction mechanisms, including sequential and concerted pathways. The latter describes a new reaction mechanism which involves changing spin state (a nonadiabatic process) while heavy atoms tunnel underneath a barrier (an adiabatic process). In each case, we find that the concerted pathway dominates the rate at low temperatures, but at higher temperatures it switches to a sequential process. The existence of a crossover temperature is the key to explaining the experimental observations and demonstrates that temperature can control the reactivity of triplet carbenes via nonadiabatic tunnelling.

Authors: Kandel Pradeep , Khanal Yagya Raj , Magrati Bibek , Poudel Nisan , Dhakal Narayan
Published: February 2025

This paper intends to analyze the production and economics of potatoes in Baglung district. The study used a representative sample size of 106 individuals from all PMAMP potato zones. Household surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and a variety of secondary sources of data were among the techniques used to collect the data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools, the Cobb-Douglas production function, benefit-cost ratio analysis, and gross margin analysis. An indexing/scaling method was applied to the problems that were identified. The profitability of potato production was highlighted by economic analysis, which showed an average variable cost of production of NRs. 213,777.47 per hectare, gross returns of NRs. NRs. 271,392 per hectare, and a gross margin of NRs. 57,614.58 per hectare with a BCR of 1.27. An analysis of the Cobb-Douglas production function showed a significant positive relationship between various factors and total income. A return to scale value of 1.24 was found in the study, indicating increasing returns on potato production in the research area. The cost of intercultural operations, harvesting, manure, and seeds were found to be underutilized and required to be increased, while the cost of overusing resources for land preparation needed to be decreased for optimal distribution, in accordance to the resource use efficiency analysis. Disease and pests emerged as severe problems, with late blight and red ants being predominant threats. The research demonstrated that potato growing is a profitable and potentially viable agricultural enterprise in the study area. Consequently, it is imperative for all concerned stakeholders to collaborate in efforts to enhance production and profitability.

Green supply chain management (GSCM) practices are a relatively novel concept in the timber sector of developing nations; while extensive literature exists on sustainability management in sectors such as mining, food manufacturing, and the petroleum industry, sustainability has not been adequately addressed in Ghana’s timber industry; this study examined the relationship between GSCM practices and the environmental performance of timber firms in Ghana, employing a cross-sectional study design and purposive sampling technique to select 484 participants from seven timber firms, with questionnaires distributed to them, and the data analysed with factor analysis and simple linear regression, revealing two key findings: timber firms are familiar with GSCM concepts and practices, and GSCM practices have a positive influence on the environmental performance of Ghanaian timber firms; the study concludes that illegal felling of timber by unauthorized chainsaw operators is the primary barrier to implementing GSCM practices in the timber industry and recommends future research to identify strategies for addressing this challenge.

Learning from erroneous examples that involve step-by-step problem solutions containing errors that can be detected, explained and fixed by students could be beneficial for the students’ problem-solving skills. Previous studies have investigated the effectiveness of erroneous examples in mathematics learning, but less attention has been focused on the effectiveness of the use of erroneous examples in individual and collaborative settings when erroneous examples are combined with self-explanation prompts and practice problems addressing students’ problem-solving skills. The present quasi-experimental study with a post-test only non-equivalent group design was therefore intended to examine the extent to which presenting erroneous examples in individual and collaborative settings could promote students’ problem-solving skills. The results suggest that the use of erroneous examples in both settings is effective in promoting students’ problem-solving skills, with neither setting being better than the other. In light of these results, teachers can vary the use of these learning settings in facilitating their students’ learning through erroneous examples.

Objective: To explore symptom experiences and self-coping patterns during the early and late stages of chemotherapy in these patients to provide a basis for developing targeted symptom management strategies. Methods: A total of 27 patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing chemotherapy at two medical institutions were recruited between November 2023 and August 2024. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in person or over the phone. Data were analyzed using traditional content and thematic analyses. Results: Three themes were identified: symptom experience, self-coping patterns, and existing obstacles. During the early stages of chemotherapy, patients reported a higher frequency of unpleasant symptoms and recognized these symptoms earlier in the treatment course. Patients in the early stages primarily relied on external support to cope with symptoms, while those in the later stages adopted self-care strategies. Several challenges related to unpleasant symptoms were observed, which appeared to correlate with the self-coping patterns employed. Conclusion: Patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing chemotherapy experience a complex and diverse range of symptoms, with varying coping patterns at different stages of treatment. Symptom management during chemotherapy presents significant challenges. Healthcare providers should improve the ongoing monitoring of symptoms post-chemotherapy. By linking patients’ symptom experiences and self-coping patterns at different stages of chemotherapy to their specific challenges, personalized symptom management strategies can be developed to enhance care quality.

With the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, work safety issues in the manufacturing industry have also begun to enter people’s vision, and job fatigue is one of the important influencing factors. To explore the influencing factors of occupational fatigue among online workers in manufacturing enterprises, subjective questionnaire surveys and field observations were used to collect research sample data. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the validity of the obtained sample data, and five influencing factors were extracted: operators, the work itself, the work environment, work equipment, and enterprise management. A structural equation model of the influencing factors of occupational fatigue among online workers in manufacturing enterprises was constructed, and AMOS 24.0 software was used for factor analysis. The research results show that the degree of impact on job fatigue of online workers in the manufacturing industry is in the following order: work environment (B)>work equipment (F)>enterprise management (M)>work itself (O)>work personnel (D). Finally, propose targeted policy recommendations based on the degree of impact.
