Authors: Zhao Bingbing , Lu Xinqiu , Gan Xuli , Yang Zhijun , Li Li , Zhang Jieqing
Published: April 2024

Background: The operative field in gasless surgery is limited, and it is difficult to adequately expose the operative field when compared to the use of gas surgery. Gasless laparoscopic single-site (GLESS) is difficult to apply to endometrial cancer surgery. The aim of this study is to investigate the improvement in GLESS lifting style for use in surgery for endometrial cancer as well as to compare the outcome of different surgical approaches in endometrial cancer. Methods: A tissue retractor is added to the routine step of GLESS to lift the abdominal wall. The lateral umbilical ligament is exposed, a 2-0 buckwheat thread is passed through the lateral umbilical ligament and abdominal wall in order to lift the umbilical ligament. We measured the changes of space length or height in different dimensions of the improved GLESS approach. Also, we measured the vertical height from the upper edge of the umbilical site to the abdominal cavity, the length from the lower edge of the umbilical site to the right Michaelis point, the height from the bottom of the uterus to the peritoneal cavity of the anterior abdominal wall, and the length from the lateral umbilical ligament to the ipsilateral psoas major muscle. We analyzed the differences in procedures in 177 cases of endometrial carcinoma. We collected data on operative time, hemoglobin change, number of lymph nodes removed, postoperative recovery time and postoperative complications for open surgery, multi site laparoscopic surgery, single site laparoscopic surgery and gasless laparoscopic single-site surgery. Results: The vertical height from the upper edge of the umbilical foramen to the abdominal cavity (4.395 ± 1.593 cm vs. 7.418 ± 1.626 cm, p < 0.001), the length from the lower edge of the umbilical foramen to the right Michaelis point (9.850 ± 2.089 cm vs. 12.795 ± 2.094 cm, p < 0.001), the height from the bottom of the uterus to the peritoneal cavity of the anterior abdominal wall (6.900 ± 1.052 cm vs. 9.827 ± 1.366 cm, p < 0.001), and the length from the lateral umbilical ligament to the ipsilateral psoas major muscle and iliac vessels were measured (2.345 ± 0.515 cm vs. 4.318 ± 0.558 cm, p < 0.001) and showed improvement with GLESS. Also, the operative visualization increased significantly with GLESS. No significant difference was observed in operative time (p = 0.670), hemoglobin change (p = 0.065), number of lymph nodes removed (p = 0.179), postoperative recovery time (p = 0.331), or postoperative complications (p = 0.442) in cases of endometrial cancer utilizing GLESS. Conclusions: The use of GLESS can increase surgical exposure. This method of suspending the umbilical ligament through abdominal silk thread can increase exposure of the anatomical structure of the obturator position. The application of GLESS as the procedure for endometrial cancer is safe and feasible.
Metastasis and the Microbiome: The Impact of Bacteria in Disseminated Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Ayabe Reed I. , White Michael G.
Published: April 2024

Metastasis remains a leading cause of mortality for patients with solid tumors. An expanding body of literature suggests interplay between the host, gut, and tumoral microbiomes may play a role in cancer initiation and distant dissemination. These associations have been particularly well-studied in colorectal cancer, where gut dysbiosis and an endotoxin-induced inflammatory milieu foster premalignant polyp formation, setting the stage for carcinogenesis. Subsequent violation of the gut vascular barrier enables dissemination of bacterial agents to sites such as the liver, where they contribute to establishment of pre-metastatic niches, which promote tumor cell extravasation and metastatic outgrowth. Intriguingly, breakdown of this vascular barrier has been shown to be aided by the presence of tumoral bacteria. The presence of similar species, including Fusobacterium nucleatum and Escherichia Coli, in both primary and metastatic colorectal tumors, supports this hypothesis and their presence is associated with chemotherapy resistance and an overall poor prognosis. Specific gut microbial populations are also associated with differential response to immunotherapy, which has a growing role in microsatellite unstable colorectal cancers. Recent work suggests that modulation of gut microbiome using dietary modification, targeted antibiotics, or fecal microbiota transplantation may improve response to immunotherapy and oncologic outcomes. Elucidation of the precise mechanistic links between the microbiome and cancer dissemination will open the doors to additional therapeutic possibilities.

Published: April 2024

This paper proposes a new spectral index called waterLog, aiming to enhance the delineation and performance of water body mapping in urban areas using satellite imagery. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed index, we compare its performance in water surfaces (WSs) in different cities in South America with the results obtained by other well-known water indices in the literature (namely, NDWI, MNDWI, AWEIsh, and AWEInsh). We utilized composite images from the Sentinel satellite (2A and 2B), all acquired in June 2021, and in cities located south of the Tropic of Capricorn to obtain images with the highest incidence of shading. This strategy enhances confusion involving mapping water classes and shadows associated with urban infrastructures, thereby allowing for a better assessment of index effectiveness. In this scenario, the present study revealed that selecting the best single index for mapping all WSs is impossible, as their performances varied across the analyzed locations. Overall, the performance of the indexes - evaluated by partial ROC curve analysis and non-water misclassification points restriction - revealed quite similar results, especially considering waterLog, NDWI, and MNDWI. Despite the similarity, in the six areas analyzed, Waterlog outperformed in three. Additionally, when considering a single threshold for all the cities, waterLog showed the best result in mapping, reducing confusion involving water and shading. Such results, therefore, are interpreted as an essential contribution to water body mapping, considering its practical applications in environmental monitoring and water resource management in urbanized areas.

The Local Politics of Social Investment Under Fiscal Constraints: The Case of Childcare Expansion in Germany
Authors: Neimanns Erik , Bremer Björn
Published: April 2024

Embedded in a broader discourse on future-oriented social policy and the idea of a social investment welfare state, governments in many of the advanced economies expanded childcare in recent years. Yet, in many countries considerable regional variation exists in coverage rates and expansion efforts, and often the supply of childcare still does not match demand. In this paper, we explore the politics of this regional variation by studying Germany, a country which had relatively low rates of childcare coverage for a long time, but recently introduced a legal entitlement to childcare. Despite this legal entitlement, we argue that local political and economic factors (continue to) matter for childcare expansion. We expect left-wing local political majorities to be associated with stronger expansion dynamics. At the same time, tight local fiscal constraints, which are widespread in Germany’s fiscal federalism, should limit partisan room for maneuver and party effects, and should slow down expansion. Analyzing local-level data on childcare coverage rates, socio-economic context factors and government partisanship, we find empirical support for our expectations. Building on these findings, we furthermore examine how local governments reconcile gaps in childcare provision with the legal entitlement to childcare and what distributive consequences this has.
Multiple dimensions of gender ideologies: How they relate to normative judgements of the gender division of parental leave
Authors: Philipp Marie-Fleur
Published: April 2024

Previous research found that gender ideologies are multidimensional. In addition, their influence on work-care practices depends on the context, including the life stage, presence of children and partners’ resources, which has received less attention. This study contributes to the understanding of the conditionality of gender ideologies by examining how dimensions of gender ideologies relate to more specific beliefs regarding the division of parental leave and testing whether the association depends on partners’ relative earnings. I draw on data from a vignette experiment implemented in the representative German GESIS Panel and apply OLS regression models with cluster-robust standard errors to 8,185 vignette evaluations of 2,249 respondents. More egalitarian ideologies regarding the division of employment and housework and less essentialist ideologies are associated with less traditional judgements of the division of parental leave. Support for individual choice is only associated with less traditional judgements on the condition that the mother earns more.
Predictors of carnivore tolerance among census-designated and self-identified rural and urban residents in Idaho, USA
Authors: Redmond Natalie T. , Wallen Kenneth
Published: April 2024

Carnivore tolerance is a common management goal in a rapidly changing American West. In recent decades, Idaho and other states with historically rural populations now contain highly urbanized areas. Given known tolerance differences among rural and urban populations, current demographic circumstances may exist for a resident to self-identify as rural but reside in a census-designate urban area. To explore differences among census-designated and self- identified residency, a stratified random sample of Idaho residents was used to predict mountain lion (Puma concolor) and gray wolf (Canis lupus) tolerance. Predictors included past experience, perceived risk, and affect. Regression analysis resulted in a statistically significant model, with perceived risk and negative emotions the main predictors of tolerance. Additional models illustrated variations among objective and subjective indicators of residency. Findings suggest census-designated and self-identified residency may be a consideration to effectively diagnose and manage human- carnivore interactions in states experiencing shifting rural-urban demographics.
Global Care Policy Index 2022 Country Report: Bangladesh
Authors: Ayub Mishael H. , Paul Anju Mary
Published: April 2024

Bangladesh scored very poorly in the GCPI, with its overall score of 0.96 out of 10 placing it in the “Weak” band due to its extremely limited legal framework to protect both careworkers and unpaid caregivers. Bangladesh’s care policy architecture is primarily contained within a single piece of legislation – the Labor Act 2013. Domestic work is considered informal employment in Bangladesh, and as such, is not covered by labor laws. Social security benefits and minimal protections against forced labor and child labor are among the few rights provided to domestic workers.
Growth of Internal Revenue of Baglung Municipality, Gandaki Province, Nepal
Authors: Silwal Sudarshan
Published: April 2024

This paper aims to quantify municipalities' internal revenue streams. After the promulgation of Nepal's new constitution in 2015, municipalities include provisions for an independent, three-tiered administration to ensure effective services to the people as well as for a balanced level of economic growth. This study attempts to analyze the growth rate of the internal revenue sources of Baglung Municipality based on the audited financial information of the municipality in the fiscal years from 2018–19 to 2022–23. From the study, a consistent positive growth trend is observed except revenue from other sources. Simply, it can be a positive sign for the local economy. Similarly, of the expenditure, skill development training expenditure for municipal staff has impacted positively for municipal internal revenue generation. This impact is also found statistically significant with strong positive correlation between the variables. Additionally, this study finds that the successful implementation of federalism at local level requires strong leadership, co-ordination among the different levels of government, strong financial plan, diversification of revenue sources, effective and efficient tax collection processes and engagement of local community to gather potential tax revenue sources. Showing the need of creating policies centered on providing effective services to the citizens, this paper will help to make municipals more effective.
The Impact of Public Debt on Economic Growth in Nepal
Authors: Regmi Krishna Kumar
Published: April 2024

Increasing debt levels in Nepal have led to concerns about the impact on the country's real GDP. This paper investigates the impact of both internal and external outstanding debt, along with gross fixed capital formation, broad money supply, total trade, and national consumer price index, on real GDP in Nepal from 1975 to 2021. The study used domestic data sets and ordinary least square series. Unit root and cointegration tests were conducted. The cointegration results confirmed a long-run relationship between the variables. The empirical results showed that both internal and external outstanding debt contributed to real GDP in Nepal. These results were supported by econometric diagnostic tests. Based on the results, the paper recommends that taking public debt and investing in the public sector can be beneficial for real sector output in Nepal. However, it is important to manage debt levels carefully to avoid negative consequences in the long run.

Human Vulnerability, Spiritual Abuse, and Its Prevention
Authors: Platovnjak Ivan
Published: April 2024

People react differently to the news of sexual and spiritual abuse that has shaken the Catholic Church over the last decades. When it comes to the abuse of adults, many are of the opinion that if anything has happened, it is probably because the alleged victims were vulnerable. In the Catholic Church, the recognition that adults who are “vulnerable” can be sexually abused was an important step forward, because it acknowledged the harm done to them also and not only to adolescents. Of course, the use of the term “vulnerable persons” for these victims is ambiguous, because it has two meanings: the specific vulnerability of persons and the anthropological vulnerability of all persons. The author puts forward the thesis that every human being is anthropologically vulnerable and can be spiritually abused. In order to refute or confirm this, he first defines anthropological vulnerability and demonstrates its importance for the human being and for humanity. In the second part of the paper, he presents spiritual abuse and its consequences. In the last section, he illustrates the various ways in which these can be prevented. In conclusion, he offers some suggestions as to what needs to be done to render the Church more trustworthy and to enable the Church to authentically fulfil its mission.
Assessment of the dynamics of owner’s equity capital of agricultural holdings in the Russian Federation

The aim of the work is to assess the dynamics of the equity capital of agricultural holdings in the Russian Federation in order to analyze changes in their financial, economic and investment potential, as well as to identify factors that affect the change in such dynamics. The study was conducted on the basis of balance sheet data from a sample of 50 individual legal entities - mainly management companies related to the country’s leading agricultural holdings. The trend of increasing both the nominal and real value of the equity capital of agricultural holdings during 2009-2021 is revealed. The trend changed in 2022. The main factors influencing the dynamics of the real value of equity capital of agricultural holdings during the analyzed period are the following: state financial and administrative support; withdrawal from the domestic market of foreign companies-competitors starting from 2014. It is proved that as the real value of equity (that is, the base of comparison) increases, the degree of influence of inflation and the key rate of the Bank of Russia has a greater impact on the dynamics of the studied indicators than other factors. This pattern makes anti-inflationary measures and cheaper loans more appropriate in the list of possible tools for state regulation of the agro-industrial complex. As the real value of equity grows, the marginal usefulness of direct financial support for the subjects under study also decreases. The value of return on equity in terms of net profit of the studied subjects in the amount of 17.17% in the economic conditions of the Russian Federation is estimated by us as one that allows the industry to develop, but does not indicate the presence of superprofit and the possibility of rapid accumulation of investment potential for significant activation of investment processes in related and other industries. In such circumstances, state financial and administrative support for the agricultural sector remains relevant, given the continuing need to ensure the country’s food security.

Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the spread of COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on all spheres of a human life. The degree of a negative impact of a pandemic is related to the economic level of a country. However, in a case of Ukraine the pandemic was related not only to a state of the economy, but also to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by an aggressor country, which took place immediately after COVID-19. This has led to dramatic changes in approaches to teaching and learning at the level of a higher education in general and English as a foreign language in particular.The article presents research by scholars on various aspects of the distance learning. Since the beginning of the pandemic, studies have been conducted focusing on various aspects of the distance learning in different disciplines, fields of study and specialties. As the distance learning has not been practiced in education during the pandemic, research has focused on various aspects of education, including an availability of online resources and teaching tools, an impact of the pandemic on teachers, practices, strategies and activities of teachers, students, key challenges or opportunities, and policy management in education.A number of problems related to learning English during the distance learning are listed. In scientific works, scholars summarize following pedagogical difficulties in the distance learning: teachers had to find effective teaching methods that would ensure the effectiveness of the distance learning, adapt their curricula to the new conditions of teaching and using of information technologies.The main types of learning during the pandemic are characterized. The main educational platforms for learning English through distance learning are highlighted. At the beginning of the pandemic, asynchronous learning was the most popular, when students accessed course materials at their own leisure through a system used by many universities with prepared courses on the Moodle educational platform. Using Google Meet and Zoom, teacher organizes video conferences and online classes with students. The potential of YouTube is effectively used by teachers both in the classroom and for students to learn English on their own: online courses, TV shows and movies in English, watching famous bloggers, commenting on videos in English, working with videos and subtitles, listening to songs in English, watching and downloading various videos in English, translating comments on YouTube, subscribing to various language learning channels. The main functions performed by the learning environment as a support for learning English in the distance learning are revealed.

Authors: Suslo Larysa
Published: April 2024

The article theoretically considers innovative technologies that are currently relevant for the formation of security competence in higher education students of non-technical specialties. The need to identify and implement innovative technologies in the educational process of training future specialists in non-technical fields in higher education institutions is driven by the trends that reflect our present. In addition to mastering professional competencies, the educational process should be aimed at forming security competencies in higher education students. The article emphasizes that in order to organize a modern safe working environment, the priority is to study occupational safety and health issues by future specialists, regardless of industry. It is established that the use of innovative pedagogical technologies in the study of safety disciplines contributes to the expansion of theoretical knowledge and provides an opportunity to model a safe working environment for future professionals.An example of organizing a safe working environment is a higher education institution, where the university administration, management of faculties and structural units, and academic group supervisors demonstrate the relevance of adherence to regulations pertaining to occupational safety and health by conducting various types of briefings, training, and exercises on emergency situations, fire, first aid, etc. In addition to these activities, it is also necessary to emphasize the educational process, namely when obtaining a future profession. The main role for the formation of safety competence in higher education students is assigned to safety disciplines and professional disciplines that provide for the formation of safety components and knowledge, skills and abilities for professional activities in the specialty and the educational program’s development of accountability for individual and group safety.The analysis of the scientific literature on the problem of forming security competence in higher education students of non-technical specialties has led to certain conclusions. All specialists in various fields need to acquire knowledge and develop practical skills in organizing a safe environment for future professional activities. However, given the integration of security disciplines, integrating integrative pedagogy should receive the majority of attention. technologies for the effective formation of security competence in students.

The article examines the issues related to the process of forming a safety culture in bachelor’s and master’s degree students. The author analyzes the main components of the formation of a safety culture in higher education students, namely, through the acquisition of safety knowledge, staying in a safe educational environment, active participation in various safety educational activities, trainings held in higher education institutions. The real state of all aspects of the formation of safety culture in higher education students is checked in detail and, taking into account the results of the study, measures are proposed to improve the level of safety culture formation.The modern world is increasingly facing dangerous challenges caused by wars, epidemics, diseases, various types of conflicts, etc., so the training of a future specialist in any field should focus on the formation of a security culture. Given this state of the problem, the higher education system occupies one of the main niches of preparing students for professional safe life, namely, readiness to act in dangerous and emergency situations. In addition, the realization of national security, both personal and societal security, requires a high level of readiness to adapt to new dangers. Taking care of one’s physical, mental and social health is an important part of fostering a culture of life safety, especially for today’s youth. These elements confirm the growing importance of educational institutions, which are obliged to instill a culture of safety in young people and teach them how to live safely in the natural and social environment.Therefore, it is important to check the conditions for the formation of security culture among participants in the educational process of higher education institutions.

Eazi-Breed CIDR’lar (0,33 g progesteron) koyunların anterior vaginasına grup EBC12’de 12 gün, grup EBC6’da 6 gün süre ile yerleştirildi. CIDR’ların uygulama sürelerinin tamamlanması ile birlikte 400 IU PMSG intramuskuler olarak enjekte edildi. Östrüsler, arama koçu kullanılarak CIDR’ların uzaklaştırılmasını takiben 6 gün süre ile tespit edildi. Arama koçu yardımıyla östrüste olduğu tespit edilen koyunlara elde aşım uygulandı. Kontrol grubunda ise 5 gün aralıklarla 4 kez kan örnekleri alınarak spontan ovaryum aktivitesine sahip koyunlar tespit edildi. Koyunların gebelikleri, aşımları takiben 40. günde reel-time B mod ultrason ile kontrol edildi. Östrus gösterim oranları açısından kontrol grubu ile diğer gruplar arasındaki farklılıklar önemli bulundu (p

Brucellosis, a zoonotic infection, exhibits varying prevalence across different geographical regions, with a notable incidence in Mediterranean countries, contributing to considerable economic losses. This study focuses on an 11-year-old purebred male Arabian horse, presenting symptoms including weight loss, weakness, environmental indifference, joint swelling, and diverse dermatological manifestations despite sufficient feed intake. A pivotal clinical observation from anamnesis and examination is the animal's inclination to lean its head against walls or fixed objects. In conjunction with hematological and biochemical analyses, the Brucella Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and serum agglutination test (SAT) were conducted, revealing seropositivity for brucellosis in the patient. Consequently, it is imperative for professionals in the equine breeding sector, particularly clinical veterinarians, to adhere to biosafety protocols concerning brucellosis cases exhibiting atypical clinical symptoms in horses. Proper diagnostic methods should be employed to assess suspicious cases, underscoring the significance of safeguarding both public and animal health.
The Discovery of Diadectomorph Tetrapods in the Lower Permian of Eastern Europe
Authors: Bulanov V. V.
Published: April 2024

The systematic position of the bolosaurid Stephanospondylus (Bolosaurus) traati (Tatarinov, 1974) is reassigned to the family Diadectidae (Diadectomorpha). This taxon is the first diadectomorph described from the Eastern Europe. Simple shape of the cheek teeth, as well as the pattern of the tooth differentiation along the maxilla indicate the basal position of S. traati within Diadectomorpha and its primitiveness in comparison with the type species to the genus Stephanospondylus, S. pugnax. The genus Ambedus Kissel et Reisz, 2004 is excluded from the order Diadectomorpha basing on the discrepancy of its marginal dentition to that of the other species of the group. The similarity of the dental system of Ambedus and diadectids is regarded as convergent rather than being due to its phylogenetic position, thus, the systematic position of this genus remains uncertain. The early stages of specialization of the dental system in the evolution of the family Diadectidae are discussed.
A New Species of the Genus Crusopimpla Kopylov et al., 2018 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) from the Upper Eocene Baltic Amber
Authors: Manukyan A. R.
Published: April 2024

A new species Crusopimpla klopfsteinae sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) has been described from the Upper Eocene Baltic amber. It is the first reliable finding of the Darwin wasps of subfamily Pimplinae in Baltic amber. The systematic position of the previously described species from Baltic amber Pimpla succini Giebel, 1856 as a taxon of uncertain systematic status (Ichneumonoidea incertae sedis) has been established. Additions to the diagnosis of the previously known by impression from the Tadushi Formation (early Eocene) are given. Finding of a representative of a subfamily Pimplinae confirms the point that the fauna of Baltic amber is an extremely selective oryctocenosis that only approximately reflects the true biological situation. It has been shown that the connections of this fauna with other fossil localities are broader than previously assumed.
On the Garantianinae (Ammonoidea: Stephanoceratidae) from the Upper Bajocian of the Kuban River Basin (Northern Caucasus, Russia)
Authors: Mitta V. V.
Published: April 2024

New finds of ammonites in the Upper Bajocian Garantiana garantiana Zone in the interfluve of the Kuban and Urup rivers (Karachay-Cherkessia) allow their definitions and the rank of infrazonal subdivisions to be clarified. Djanaliparkinsonia egori sp. nov. from the upper part of the Garantiana zone is described. The zone is three subzones (from bottom to top): Alanica, Subgaranti, and Egori; each subzone contains a faunal horizon of the same name. The data on systematic composition and stratigraphic distribution of species of the subfamily Garanianinae in the Upper Bajocian of the Kuban River basin are summarized, and index-species of the subzones (and faunal horizons) of the Garantiana Zone are illustrated.
Carbon Dioxide in Soil, Ground and Surface Waters of the Northern Regions: Role, Sources, Test Methods (a Review)
Authors: Goncharova O. Yu. , Timofeeva M. V. , Matyshak G. V.
Published: April 2024

Modern research proves the need to include waterbodies in regional and global models of carbon exchange. The concentration of carbon dioxide in surface waters is generally higher than equilibrium with a partial atmospheric pressure of 400 µatm allows. The study of the functioning and regional role of aquatic systems, especially regard to inorganic carbon dynamics, is insufficient, especially in circumboreal regions. The review highlights the theoretical foundations and relevance of studies of dissolved carbon dioxide; methodological approaches in assessing this indicator, as well as the role of dissolved CO2 in natural waters of boreal and arctic regions. Soil organic matter and dissolved carbon dioxide are the main sources of CO2 in surface waters, but this contribution has not yet been quantified. This is due to the underestimation of the abiotic aspects of soil gas exchange, the absolute predominance of studies of gas exchange at the soil-atmosphere interface without taking into account the interaction with groundwater, as well as methodological difficulties in measuring gas concentrations in soil-ground and surface waters. Instrumental measurement methods are not standardized, and the calculated ones have very high systematic and analytical errors. The conclusion points to the need to study the hydrological continuum: from source (terrestrial ecosystems) to large rivers and lakes, with particular attention to the incorporation of CO2 from groundwater into the carbon budget of the entire watershed.
