RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES BUILT BEHIND THE STATE INDUSTRY BUILDING IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE CAPITAL’S ADMINISTRATIVE CENTRE OF KHARKIV IN THE 1920S AND 1930S
Authors: Didenko K. , Gella О.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the history of the formation and features of three residential complexes: Chervonyi Promyslovets (1929–1931, architect S. Kravets), Budynok Spetsialistiv (1934–1936, architect L. Lemish), Novyi Pobut (1930–1932, architect M. Pokornyi), located near the new administrative centre of then the capital of Soviet Ukraine—Kharkiv. These complexes were created in the late 1920s and early 1930s and reflected the architectural and urban planning ideas, explorations, and concepts relevant in the early twentieth century. These include the idea of the garden city and the concepts of the commune house and the housing factory. The residential complexes Chervonyi Promyslovets and Budynok Spetsialistiv are a direct embodiment of the concept of a housing estate, and Novyi Pobut is a partial embodiment of the concept of socialisation of everyday life through the elements of a communal house. Looking at the overall structure of the complex of the capital’s administrative centre of Kharkiv, with its residential quarters separated from the administration and business centre by a broad green boulevard, we can note that this urban structure embodies the idea of a garden city. The article contains a compositional characterisation of all three complexes and describes their functional content and transformations through time. The article documents significant changes in the spatial planning schemes and approaches to the design of urban living environments, from perimeter development to free planning of neighbourhoods.
The description focuses on documenting the monuments of modernist architecture in the capital city of Kharkiv, which is extremely important for consolidating its pivotal role in the world history of the Modern Movement. Since the preservation of architectural heritage is an integral part of the strategy of the modern European state and a prerequisite for understanding the value of the historic urban landscape and individual architectural objects, it is of utmost necessity and importance to document the architectural and urban heritage of metropolitan Kharkiv. The collected and structured material on the history of the construction and formation of residential complexes belonging to the administrative centre of the metropolitan Kharkiv, their spatial, compositional, and functional features will become the basis for preserving the historical character of the buildings and further development of the district.

Vanishing Identity: The Impossible Definition of Pagans and Paganism in the West from the 4th to the 6th Century
Authors: Inglebert Hervé
Published: December 2023

To understand Antiquity, we must avoid starting from our own categories. We therefore reject the contemporary notion of collective identity in favour of a sociological analysis of ancient texts and the authoritative relationships between emic and etic discourses on the definition of religious groups. Taking into account the plurality of Christian discourses, both sociological (those of believers, clerics, monks, the emperor or the king) and thematic (in the theological domain, that of personal morality, collective ethics, relationship to the world) allows us to conceive that between 300 and 600, it was possible to define oneself as Christian (‘bad Christian’ in the eyes of religious and political authorities) and to venerate certain traditional superhuman entities linked to natural forces yet considered by the same authorities as the demons of paganism. This Christian polylatrism can be explained by the difficulty bishops had in controlling certain sectors of society, particularly in the countryside, but also by the impossibility for late antique Christianity to transform its theological claim to truth about salvation in the afterlife into a convincing model for explaining the world here below. Only the cult of holy (wo)men and relics, and the Christianisation of certain sacred places or the acceptance of certain ancient practices in order to neutralise them, were to fill the gaps in the Christian meaning of the world over time.
Statuary, the Secular and Remaining Powers in Late Antiquity
Authors: Jacobs Ine
Published: December 2023

This chapter focuses on the survival and diverse usage of pagan-mythological statuary until the end of Antiquity. In order to explain its continued functioning in late antique centuries, I discuss two ways of viewing: the secular (whereby gods and divinities are seen as symbolic or emblematic for specific aspects of life, particularly elite life), and the religious (whereby gods and divinities retain power and agency). Whereas secular explanations have been given ample attention in recent decades, the power of statues in Late Antiquity, and especially their positive power in the eyes of people who self-identified as Christian, has been largely neglected. I argue that it is worthwhile exploring this route further to help explain why these statues remained so omnipresent in the cityscape.

Breastfeeding is a bounding process
 
antara ibu dengan bayi dimana ibu memberikan asupan makanan kepada bayi berupa cairan tubuh yang disebut air susu ibu (ASI) 1. Masa menyusui membutuhkan komposisi nutrisi yang beragam dan kompleks untuk pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bayi sejak lahir. 2. Namun tidak semua ibu memberikan ASI ekslusif kepada bayinya. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah pengeluaran ASI yang sedikit 3. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut diperlukan edukasi laktasi pada lapisan masyarakat. Edukasi laktasi dapat dilakukan melalui beberapa cara, yaitu : penyuluhan, pelatihan, konseling, konsultasi dan melalui media. Tujuan pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat ini yaitu sebagai sarana belajar bersama tentang meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap ibu mengenai pentingnya ASI, bagaimana cara meningkatkan produksi ASI melalui pendekatan penyuluhan, demontrasi dan konselor dengan memanfaatkan bahan alami. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan data, sebelum penyuluhan sangat sedikit yang berpengetahuan baik (3,1%), namun sesudah penyuluhan hampir seluruh ibu balita mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan tentang kanker payudara dan deteksi dini sebanyak  95.2%. setelah diberikan penyuluhan dan demonstrasi diharapkan ibu nifas dapat mempraktikannya dirumah sehingga membantu dalam keberhasilan pemberian asi ekslufsif.

funerary monuments of Legio VII and the emergence of
military communities in 1st century AD Dalmatia
Authors: Coopey Ewan
Published: December 2023

The Imperial Roman military consisted of a vast collection of armies and overlapping sub-communities, causing it to be a multi-layered entity. Scholars have explored its social dynamics since the 1980s, with epigraphic material – particularly of a funerary nature – providing valuable insight. The provinces of southeastern Europe, such as Dalmatia, are home to a great deal of well-catalogued archaeological and epigraphical material which could contribute to these studies, however, they are often left unconsidered in scholarship from outside the region. This paper conducts an epigraphical and archaeological analysis of the Romano-Dalmatian inscribed funerary monuments of the Seventh Legion (Legio VII Claudia pia fidelis) to study the construction of identity and community. It is demonstrated that Legio VII was home to a complex network of servicemen intersected by various social, familial, legal, and military roles, relations, and symbols, which was rejuvenated and negotiated through the textual, sculptural, and spatial dimensions of funerary monuments. Moreover, these very funerary monuments were a significant part of this network, acting as media of identity and community (re)construction and (re)negotiation. Not only does this shed light on the social dynamics of Roman military communities, but it also reinforces the image which has emerged in recent scholarship of funerary monuments as socially constructive media. Finally, this paper demonstrates the value of theoretically engaged analyses of material from, and scholarship concerning, Romano-Dalmatia.

Comparative Analysis of Amino Acid Profile of Tenualosa Ilisha and Catla Catla and Their Potential Contribution to Recommended Nutrient Intake
Authors: Ahmed Eyad , Jahan Israt , Shaheen Nazma
Published: December 2023

Objective: The current study aimed to determine the amino acid profiles and proximate compositions of two commonly consumed fish species of Bangladesh: Tenualosa ilisha and Catla catla, commonly known as Hilsha, the national fish of Bangladesh and Catla, respectively.
Methodology: The fish samples were collected from two wholesale fish markets (ghaats) in Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. The Amino Acid content of the selected samples was analyzed by an amino acid analyzer. Fourteen amino acids (eight essential and six non-essential) could be detected by the analyzer.
Results: In the case of the essential amino acid content of the samples, threonine, valine, isoleucine, histidine, and lysine content was greater in the Hilsha fish than that of Catla. On the other hand, methionine, leucine, and phenylalanine content were higher in Catla than that in Hilsha. All six non-essential amino acids were found in greater amounts in Hilsha. Concerning the potential contribution (%) of the selected samples to the daily recommended nutrient intake (RNI) of essential amino acids in children (5-10 years), Hilsha fish potentially contributes (>50%) to the daily RNI of threonine, methionine, and lysine and Catla fish potentially contributes (>50%) to the daily RNI of methionine and lysine. In regards to the adult’s RNI, Hilsha potentially contributes (>50%) to the daily RNI of methionine and lysine but Catla was found to contribute potentially (>50%) to the daily RNI of methionine only.
Conclusion: Both of the samples were found to be a substantial source of protein and essential amino acids to significantly contribute to the daily RNI of essential amino acids concerning children (5-10 years) for growth and adults for maintenance.

Effect of Micronutrient Composition of Fish Feed to the Growth and Nutrient Content of Fishes: Cost-Efficient Production of Nutritious Fishes
Authors: Zaher Mohammad Abduz , Islam Mohua Sadia , Mamun Sumaiya , Paul Trisha
Published: December 2023

Fish is the rich source of good quality protein. Per capita annual fish intake of Bangladesh is 21.90 kg and annual total need of fish is 42.38 lac mt. The current study's objective was to ascertain the nutritional value of various fish farmed in Bangladesh's Biofloc farm and regularly consumed by Bangladeshis by using nutrient rich formulated fish feed. The fish used in the study were tilapia fish (Oreochromis mossambicus) and shorputi fish (Systomus sarana). These fish species were cultured in a Biofloc setting. The edible portion of the samples had its composition closely investigated. The moisture, ash, and protein contents were determined using the AOAC-approved drying, Muffle-furnace, and Macro-Kjeldahl procedures, respectively. The edible proportion of fish in the current study ranged from 46.45 to 58.33%. The value for tilapia was the greatest (58.33%) while the value for shorputi was the lowest (46.45%). For some of the fish samples used in the investigation, the moisture content was found to be between 74.04 and 77.53%. Shorputi's lowest value was discovered to be 74.45%. For several fish samples, the ash concentration was determined to be between 1.04 and 1.31%. Shorputi had the greatest ash concentration (1.31%), while tilapia had the lowest (0.95%). Tilapia had a high protein content (23.77%). The study's most recent findings demonstrate that the farm formulated feed had a beneficial effect on the development and nutritional status of fish raised in biofloc systems.

The Non-Moral Basis for Eliminating Retributivism
Authors: Morris Stephen
Published: December 2023

While increasing numbers of philosophers have argued for eliminating the retributivist elements of criminal justice systems, their arguments often fall short due to internal inconsistency. Some of the best known of these arguments — such as those provided by Derk Pereboom and Gregg Caruso — rely on the claim that there are moral grounds for rejecting retributivism. In defending this claim, these philosophers typically provide arguments seeking to undermine the type of agent responsibility that they believe is needed to justify retributivism. This is usually followed by an assertion that since the excessive suffering caused by retributivist punishment cannot be justified, it is therefore immoral to preserve remnants of it in our criminal justice systems. This paper — which opposes the moral case against retributivism provided by Pereboom and Caruso, and favors non-moral reasons that recommend rejecting a retributivist approach — is divided into three parts. In part one, I discuss why Pereboom and Caruso are correct in thinking that free will skepticism undercuts the moral justification for retributivism. Part two sets out to explain why their moral case against retributivism fails insofar as it runs afoul of the folk intuitions that are called upon to defend Pereboom’s account of free will skepticism. In part three, I provide a non-moral case against the retributivism that is founded on considerations of self-interest and empathy.

Published: December 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo é avaliar o efeito do açaí na cor, dureza e rugosidade de uma resina composta nanoparticulada in vitro. As amostras foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em três grupos de acordo com a degradação química (n=25): saliva artificial (controle, pH 7,0) e sorbet de açaí (pH 3,8) e suco de açaí (pH 4,9). Os resultados de cor (escala CIELa*b*), rugosidade (Ra) e dureza de superfície (SH) foram analisados antes e após a degradação. As amostras foram submetidas a 3 imersões diárias (6 ml, 15 minutos) durante 14 dias (37°C). As amostras foram lavadas com água destilada ao final de cada imersão e nos intervalos (30 minutos) permaneceram em saliva fresca. Ao final da terceira imersão, as amostras foram colocadas em saliva fresca e nela permaneceram durante a noite. Os valores de ΔE* foram 1,88 para saliva/ sorbet e 2,2 para suco (p=0,017). Das três soluções, apenas o suco reduziu os valores de L* e aumentou os valores de a* (p<0,001). Não foi observada diferença significativa entre os grupos (p>0,05) para dureza e rugosidade. As propriedades mecânicas da resina composta nanoparticulada não foram alteradas pelo açaí. Assim, não há necessidade de descontinuar o consumo de açaí para pacientes com restaurações de resina composta nanoparticuladas.

Published: December 2023

O trabalho objetivou investigar informações na literatura a respeito das manifestações clínicas associadas a beta talassemia maior (BTM) em pacientes pediátricos. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura seguindo as diretrizes do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Foram utilizados os descritores “beta talassemia”, “sinais e sintomas” e “criança”, nas plataformas de busca PubMed, Scielo, Science Direct, Science.gov e LILACS, para busca de artigos publicados entre 2013 e 2023. Após avaliação das bases de dados, foram selecionados 12 artigos para composição deste trabalho. Todos os artigos foram publicados na língua inglesa e a maioria deles (n=7) teve como país de origem o Egito. Quanto a natureza dos estudos observou-se que a maioria deles eram do tipo transversal (n=7), seguidos de estudos do tipo caso-controle (n=4) e apenas um do tipo coorte. Os artigos descreveram a identificação de manifestações clínicas em pacientes pedriáticos portadores de BTM e a importância de sua identificação. Foi reportado que dislipidemias (alterações de HDL-colesterol, LDL-colesterol e triglicerídios) estão relacionadas com alterações cardiovasculares em portadores de BTM.  Aumento de fator de crescimento endotelial vascular esteve associado a desenvolvimento de hipertensão pulmonar. A deposição excessiva de ferro foi associada a disfunções ventriculares, aterosclerose, afecções renais e pancreáticas. Osteopenia associada a alterações hormonais da paratireoide também foram reportadas na BTM. Assim, conclui-se que a BTM é a doença sanguínea hereditária autossômica mais comum na população e que suas manifestações clínicas geram impacto negativo na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pacientes pediátricos.
Impact of collection from indigenous lands on the municipal solid waste management system: A case study in the Amazon
Authors: Menichelli Beatriz Hanada , Oliveira Benone Otávio Souza de , Medeiros Gerson Araujo de
Published: December 2023

In the Amazon, solid waste collection is generally restricted to urban areas, excluding indigenous lands and rural areas. The objective of this research was to analyse the impact of collecting waste generated from indigenous lands on the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system, through life cycle assessment (LCA). A case study in the Humaitá city, state of Amazonas, Brazil, was based on life cycle inventory data, obtained from literature and field surveys, such as the waste gravimetry. The LCA followed the model proposed by ISO 14040 and 14044 and estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for three MSW management scenarios. The first, called Base Scenario (SB), corresponded to that practiced in Humaitá: collection of MSW from the urban area, logistic, and disposal in landfill. The second scenario (S1) corresponded to SB and the collection of waste generated on indigenous lands in that municipality. The third scenario (S2) corresponded to S1, excluding organic waste, which would be destined for composting on indigenous lands. The base scenario totalled an emission of 1,539 t CO2eq.year-1. Collecting solid waste from indigenous lands would increase these GHG emissions by 5.2% (S1) and 0.9% (S2) in relation to SB. The decentralized management of organic waste through composting associated with the separation and storage of dry waste would reduce the burning of waste in indigenous areas, their environmental vulnerability and promote the inclusion of these peoples.

Authors: Brkić Midžić Silvija
Published: December 2023

U radu se prezentira fotografska građa iz fundusa Hrvatskoga muzeja medicine i farmacije Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti, koji je osnovan rješenjem Ministarstva kulture Republike Hrvatske od 7. srpnja 2014., a počeo je s radom u ožujku 2015. godine. Hrvatski muzej medicine i farmacije zamišljen je kao ustanova u kojoj bi se javnost kontinuirano upoznavala s razvojem medicinskih znanosti, otkrićima iz toga područja i njihovom primjenom, na osnovi materijalne i nematerijalne baštine. Inicijalnu jezgru fundusa Muzeja čini Zbirka za povijest medicine i farmacije preuzeta od Odsjeka za povijest medicinskih znanosti, koja se kontinuirano obogaćuje novim donacijama. Danas muzejski fundus obuhvaća raznovrsnu građu medicinske i farmaceutske baštine, ukupno više od 6000 predmeta, koji su razvrstani u 15 zbirki. Radom se žele predstaviti tematske cjeline unutar Zbirke fotografija Hrvatskoga muzeja medicine i farmacije Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti koje su po sadržaju i namjeni odraz Štamparove ideologije. Odabrani uzorak čine ostavštine hrvatskih liječnika Luje Thallera (1891–1949) i Vladimira Ćepulića (1891–1964), nekadašnjega Muzeja za povijest zdravstva u Hrvatskoj osnovanoga pri Hrvatskom liječničkom zboru u Zagrebu i Kluba narodnoga zdravlja. Ova građa predstavlja materijalno svjedočanstvo o javnozdravstvenim projektima, socijalnomedicinskim istraživanjima, terenskom radu i zdravstvenom prosvjećivanju u Hrvatskoj u doba djelovanja Andrije Štampara i nekoliko desetljeća kasnije. Svojim sadržajem zbirka pridonosi čuvanju memorije o specifičnom socijalnomedicinskom modelu razvoja hrvatskoga zdravstva te čini potentno polazište u daljnjim interpretacijama i prezentacijama Štamparova djela.
Andrija Štampar i medicinari – Klub zdravlja »Andrija Štampar« (1951–1990)
Authors: Kolić Marko
Published: December 2023

Rad se bavi utjecajem Štamparovih ideja o socijalnoj medicini i razvoju javnoga zdravstva na studentsku populaciju Medicinskoga fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu na primjeru Kluba zdravlja »Andrija Štampar«. Obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 1951., kada je Klub osnovan, do 1990., kada nastupaju značajne društveno-političke promjene koje su se odrazile i na rad Fakulteta, odnosno studentske organizacije. Prvi dio rada analizira Andriju Štampara i njegov odnos prema medicinarima i studentima u Zagrebu uopće. Štampar je kao nastavnik uveo kolegije iz socijalne medicine, a kroz praktične vježbe nastojao je upoznati studente s tadašnjim javnozdravstvenim prilikama. Postavši voditelj Ureda za socijalnu i zdravstvenu zaštitu studenata, dobio je priliku poboljšati standard zagrebačkih studenata, no rat ga je u tome prekinuo. U konačnici, kao dekan pokrenuo je reformu studija medicine. Štamparove ideje postupno će biti prihvaćene i među studentima, što je došlo do izražaja nakon 1945. Naime, između 1945. i 1990. na Medicinskom fakultetu djelovala su mnogobrojna društva, a među njima i Klub zdravlja, kojemu je primarni cilj bio javnozdravstveno djelovanje. Stoga je u drugom dijelu rada analiziran osnutak Kluba zdravlja, aktivnosti koje je provodio i ostvareni rezultati. Društvene će se aktivnosti vremenom proširiti i na druga medicinska polja, ovisno o interesima članova, no javnozdravstvene aktivnosti ostat će važna sastavnica rada društva sve do kraja proučavanoga razdoblja. Rad je nastao na temelju literature, arhivskih izvora pohranjenih na Medicinskom fakultetu u Zagrebu, u Državnom arhivu u Zagrebu i Hrvatskom državnom arhivu, te na temelju onodobne periodike, pretežno studentske provenijencije.

Introduction. The coronavirus pandemic has led to disruptions in supply chains at both the global and national levels. State support for economic agents plays an important role in maintaining economic activity of business entities. The purpose is to identify best practices in the field of state aid through the study of international experience in implementing state support programs for enterprises in special conditions (the case of EU). Research methods: basic methods of policy analysis (institutional analysis, descriptive analysis); synthesis and generalization of the data obtained; graphical method (to ensure the clarity of the data). Results and conclusions. The institutional mechanism for supervision and control over the expediency of state aid at the EU level is represented by a standard document, which is supplemented by specific aspects in accordance with the funding program. An important feature of the mechanism for allocating state aid in the EU is the creation of prerequisites for proper oversight of the expediency of using funds, transparency of decisions and accountability of applicants. Information support for disclosure of data by enterprises applying for participation in state aid programs is based on the disclosure of reliable information on the current state of financial and economic activity and development prospects. This has created a strong reporting infrastructure for companies, which includes general purpose financial statements, a management report, and a sustainability report as part of it (or as a separate document). The introduction of corporate sustainability reporting in Ukraine as a source of assessing the admissibility of state aid through the implementation of EU directives is a promising area for further research.
Quantum dark energy in a seven-dimensional universe
Authors: Kesanasetty Sasidhar
Published: December 2023

This paper explains the dark energy and acceleration of the universe by quantizing the space in hidden dimensions, which provides the basis and background for the gravitational force through the curvature of space-time. Space-time is considered to be made of a four-dimensional elastic grid in a seven-dimensional universe in which matter also expands along with the universe. Each cube of the grid is considered a quantum of hidden three-dimensional space of Planck volume containing Planck charge, which makes the universe seven-dimensional. The dark energy is explained by the electrostatic repulsion between the Planck charges in each quantum of the hidden space. Mathematically, this electrostatic repulsion is related to the Hubble constant to explain the accelerated expansion, dark energy, and increase in the cosmological potential energy of matter. Expansion of space-time is considered not due to the creation of the new space but due to the stretching of the existing space-time itself like an elastic ruler where the proper length and the volume remains constant. The values of the Planck constant, gravitational constant, permittivity of free space, and Boltzmann constant are shown to vary owing to the expansion of space-time and hence provide falsifiable predictions for this theory. This theory builds a framework for the relativistic Newtonian theory of gravity, the relativistic MONDian (Modified Newtonian dynamics) gravity, identifies a valid reason for the transition of Newtonian gravity to MOND at a0 and eliminates the need for dark matter to explain the dynamics of galaxy clusters.

With the rapid economic development in North China, the demand for geothermal energy is increasing. It is urgent to find favorable deep geothermal resource targets in North China. Although geothermal resources in the North China Plain are widely distributed, in order to develop deep geothermal resources in North China safely, stably and efficiently, it is essential to carry out the target selection and evaluation of geothermal resource zoning. This article takes the typical geothermal fields in the central Hebei region as the research object, and through the comprehensive collation of regional geothermal geological data, constructs an optimization evaluation indicator system for geothermal resource target areas from three aspects: resource conditions, mining potential, and heating demand. On this basis, it establishes a linear relationship between the attribute values and scores of each indicator, and uses the analytic hierarchy process to assign weights to each indicator and calculate the comprehensive weight. Then, the comprehensive evaluation value is obtained by weighted calculation of the scores and comprehensive weights of each block in the grid segmentation of the evaluation area. Finally, through the spatial analysis function of GIS, the comprehensive evaluation values of all blocks in the evaluation area were analyzed using kriging difference analysis, and a comprehensive evaluation map, the geothermal resource prospective target area map, was finally obtained. Using quantitative zoning evaluation methods, the target areas for exploration and development of deep geothermal resources in central Hebei Province have been delineated within a large region. The evaluation results indicate that the Cambrian-Ordovician reservoir target area is relatively large, and there are many favorable target areas with good reservoir conditions in the Middle-Upper Proterozoic. The excellent prospective target area of the Mesoproterozoic geothermal reservoir accounts for 56%, mainly located in the Xingji uplift and Gaoyang low uplift. Xiong’an New Area, Cangzhou, and the eastern part of Hengshui are excellent prospective target areas for the evaluation of the Mesoproterozoic geothermal reservoir in a single area. This evaluation method can provide a reference for the optimization of resource exploration and development target areas in key regions.

After the long-term production, due to the influence of low-pressure and low-stress fields in the near-well area, the reversion and propagation of new fractures after temporary plugging is short. It is difficult for the new fracture to extend to the remaining oil enrichment areas on both sides of the primary fractures, resulting in a low increase in the bandwidth of the fracture group after repeated fracturing, which affects the reservoir utilization. In the early stage of repeated fracturing, a large amount of pre-fracturing fluid is injected to supplement the energy of the fractures and rapidly increase the pore pressure in the local range, weakening rock strength and change the pore structure. In addition, the combination of energy replenishment and reservoir stimulation, coupled reconstruction of the seepage field and stress field, promotes the effective propagation of new fractures. However, in the process of increasing formation energy, the propagation law of hydraulic fractures and natural fractures is not clear. In this paper, the model of tight sandstone reservoir in the HQ block of Ordos Basin was established with the finite element software ABAQUS, based on the effective stress principle and the theoretical method of fluid-solid coupling numerical simulation. The propagation of a single hydraulic fracture and the interaction between hydraulic fracture and natural fracture under the condition of energy increase was investigated to better guide the field operation. The results show that for every 1 MPa pressure increase in a single hydraulic fracture, the fracture length increases by 0.62 m and the maximum fracture width decreases by 0.09 mm. When the formation energy increases by 6 MPa, the time for the hydraulic fracture to reach the intersection point with the natural fracture is shortened by 10 %, and the length of the natural fracture is 2.16 times compared with the case of 3 MPa energy increase.

To investigate the overburden movement and the side abutment pressure distribution concerning the variation in deep mines with varying coal seam thickness, this study focused on the No. 72 mining area of Tianchen Coal Mine and obtained the following results: Variations in coal seam thickness within a stope lead to increased immediate roof thickness. When the coal seam thickness is 8 m, the maximum immediate roof thickness reaches 18 m. The roof is composed of a “Combined short cantilever-Voussoir beam” structure. Displacement curves of overburden in coal seam thickness-varying stopes exhibit asymmetry, with the overburden closer to the coal seam being more asymmetric. After post-goaf stabilization, the peak side abutment pressure decreases with increasing coal seam thickness and shifts deeper into the coal wall. Concurrently, the ultimate equilibrium area width expands. With an increase in coal seam thickness from 4 m to 8 m, the peak side abutment pressures decreased from 44.98 MPa to 41.04 MPa. The peak position shifted from a distance of 9 m from the coal wall to 14 m, while the stress-relaxation area expanded from 3 m to 5 m. This research provides essential insights for safe and efficient mining in similar conditions.

Published: December 2023

Female fertility decline is an accumulative consequence caused by complex factors, among them, the disruption of the immune profile in female reproduction stands out as a crucial contributor. Presently, the effects of immune microenvironment (IME) on the female reproductive process have attracted increasing attentions for their dynamic but precisive roles. Immunocytes including macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells, B cells and neutrophils, with diverse subpopulations as well as high plasticity functioned dynamically in the process of female reproduction through indirect intercellular communication via specific cytokine release transduced by molecular signal networks or direct cell-cell contact to maintain the stability of the reproductive process have been unveiled. The immune profile of female reproduction in each stage has also been meticulously unveiled. Especially, the application of single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology in this process reveals the distribution map of immune cells, which gives a novel insight for the homeostasis of IME and provides a research direction for better exploring the role of immune cells in female reproduction. Here, we provide an all-encompassing overview of the latest advancements in immune modulation within the context of the female reproductive process. Our approach involves structuring our summary in accordance with the physiological sequence encompassing gonadogenesis, folliculogenesis within the ovaries, ovulation through the fallopian tubes, and the subsequent stages of embryo implantation and development within the uterus. Our overarching objective is to construct a comprehensive portrayal of the immune microenvironment (IME), thereby accentuating the pivotal role played by immune cells in governing the intricate female reproductive journey. Additionally, we emphasize the pressing need for heightened attention directed towards strategies that focus on immune interventions within the female reproductive process, with the ultimate aim of enhancing female fertility.

Published: December 2023

Introduction

The stability of exposed slopes is prone to natural disasters, seriously threatening socio-economic and human security. Through years of exploration and research, we proposed an active permanent greening (APG) method based on patented mineral solubilizing microorganisms (MSMs) as an improvement over the traditional greening method.

Methods

In this study, we selected two MSMs (Bacillus thuringiensis and Gongronella butleri) and a plant species (Lolium perenne L.) set up six treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6) to investigate the effectiveness of the MSMs and their combinations with the plant species on the soil stability using APG method.

Results

We noted that both MSMs and the plant species significantly improved soil aggregate stability and organic matter content. Of all the treatments, the T1 treatment exhibited better results, with soil aggregate stability and organic matter content increased to 45.63% and 137.57%, respectively, compared to the control. Soil stability was significant positively correlated with macroaggregate content and negatively with microaggregates. Using structural equation modeling analysis, we further evaluated the mechanism underpinning the influence of organic matter content and fractions on the content of each graded agglomerates. The analysis showed that the macroaggregate content was influenced by the presence of the plant species, primarily realized by altering the content of organic matter and aromatic and amide compounds in the agglomerates, whereas the microaggregate content was influenced by the addition of MSMs, primarily realized by the content of organic matter and polysaccharide compounds. Overall, we observed that the effect of the co-action of MSMs and the plant species was significantly better than that of using MSMs or the plant species alone.

Discussion

The findings of this study provide reliable data and theoretical support for the development and practical application of the APG method to gradually develop and improve the new greening approach.

Published: December 2023

Background

The findings from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) examining the effect of magnesium supplementation on depression are inconsistent. We decided to conduct a meta-analysis that summarizes all the evidence on the impact of magnesium supplementation on depression scores in adults with depressive disorder.

Methods

We conducted a systematic search in the online databases using all related keywords up to July 2023. We included all randomized clinical trials examining the effect of magnesium, in contrast to placebo, on depression scores.

Results

Finally, seven clinical trials were included in this systematic review, building up a total sample size of 325 individuals with ages ranging from 20 to 60 years on average. These RCTs resulted in eight effect sizes. Our findings from the meta-analysis showed a significant decline in depression scores due to intervention with magnesium supplements [standardized mean difference (SMD): −0.919, 95% CI: −1.443 to −0.396, p = 0.001].

Conclusion

Our review suggests that magnesium supplementation can have a beneficial effect on depression. Future high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes must be run to interpret this effect of magnesium on depression in clinical settings.

In islet transplantation (ITx), primary graft function (PGF) or beta cell function measured early after last infusion is closely associated with long term clinical outcomes. We investigated the association between PGF and 5 year insulin independence rate in ITx and pancreas transplantation (PTx) recipients. This retrospective multicenter study included type 1 diabetes patients who underwent ITx in Lille and PTx in Nantes from 2000 to 2022. PGF was assessed using the validated Beta2-score and compared to normoglycemic control subjects. Subsequently, the 5 year insulin independence rates, as predicted by a validated PGF-based model, were compared to the actual rates observed in ITx and PTx patients. The study enrolled 39 ITx (23 ITA, 16 IAK), 209 PTx recipients (23 PTA, 14 PAK, 172 SPK), and 56 normoglycemic controls. Mean[SD] PGF was lower after ITx (ITA 22.3[5.2], IAK 24.8[6.4], than after PTx (PTA 38.9[15.3], PAK 36.8[9.0], SPK 38.7[10.5]), and lower than mean beta-cell function measured in normoglycemic control: 36.6[4.3]. The insulin independence rates observed at 5 years after PTA and PAK aligned with PGF predictions, and was higher after SPK. Our results indicate a similar relation between PGF and 5 year insulin independence in ITx and solitary PTx, shedding new light on long-term transplantation outcomes.
