Environmental Implications of Shale Gas Hydraulic Fracturing: A Comprehensive Review on Water Contamination and Seismic Activity in the United States
Authors: Hwang Bohyun , Heo Joonghyeok , Lim Chungwan , Park Joonkyu
Published: September 2023

Recent scholarship has highlighted the significant environmental impact of the rapidly expanding hydraulic fracturing industry, which is projected to grow from USD 15.31 billion in 2021 to USD 28.93 billion in 2028 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. Recognizing the need for comprehensive, national-scale evaluations, this review of the literature investigates contamination and induced seismicity associated with shale gas hydraulic fracturing in the United States. Employing systematic reviews of the literature and federal reports up until July 2023, this study reveals multiple areas of concern, including water and soil contamination, seismic activity, and air pollution. A notable finding is the average use of 2.4 million gallons of water per well in hydraulic fracturing, of which only 15–35% is typically retrieved. However, ongoing studies are actively exploring remediation strategies, including advancements in monitoring and treatment technologies, as well as the potential of reusing wastewater for hydraulic fracturing, as exemplified by the Garfield County region in Colorado; they utilized 100% wastewater to mitigate the impact of contamination. These findings underscore the need for stringent regulations, sustained research, and effective management practices. This work emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach that leverages field studies, experimental investigations, and computational advancements to ensure the responsible development of shale gas resources.

Authors: Singh Suraj Kumar , Kanga Shruti , Gulati Bhavneet , Raič Mirna , Sajan Bhartendu , Đurin Bojan , Singh Saurabh
Published: September 2023

In this research, the SWAT+ model was employed to elucidate hydrological dynamics within the Beas Basin. The primary objectives encompassed the calibration of the SWAT model for accurate water balance quantification, annual simulation of salient hydrological components, and a decadal analysis of trends in fluvial discharge and sediment transport. The methodology encompasses simulating hydrological data with the SWAT+ model, followed by calibration and validation using flow data from Larji and Mahadev hydroelectric plants. The model’s efficacy in depicting streamflow and other hydrological components is corroborated by statistical measures such as the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency and PBIAS. The water balance analysis delivers insights into the basin’s hydrological characteristics, including surface flow, water yield, and evapotranspiration. The temporal analysis exposes intricate seasonal and interannual variability in flow and sediment discharge, while spatial distribution highlights heterogeneity across the basin. These findings have practical implications for water resource management, including optimizing water allocation, hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and environmental concerns. Limitations, such as data quality and model simplifications, are acknowledged, and future data collection and observations are recommended for improved model performance. In essence, these researches enhance understanding of the Beas Basin’s hydrology, setting a course for future investigations to integrate more data sources, refine model parameters, and consider climate and land-use changes for a richer comprehension of the basin’s hydrological dynamics.

Authors: Kaushal Yadav , Gaurav Jaiswal , Krishna Govind Lodha , Tarun Kumar Gupta , Pratik Bipinbhai Patel , Suresh Kumawat
Published: September 2023

Study design: Prospective hospital-based study.
Background: Annual incidence of bilateral chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is increasing due to an increase in the ageing population, associated medical comorbidities such as haemodialysis, anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy.
Objectives: 1. To determine the socio-demographic and clinical profile of bilateral CSDH patients. 2. To determine treatment outcome and its association with the socio-demographic profile.
Method: A prospective hospital-based study was carried out on 100 confirmed patients of bilateral CSDH. Information of patients such as socio-demographic profile, clinical presentation and laboratory investigation, along with treatment and outcome were recorded and analysed.
Results: Among 100 patients, male and female were 74% and 26%. The mean age of patients was 63.03±13.57 years. A history of head injury was reported by 49% of patients. The mean Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was 12.14±2.38. Common presenting symptoms were hemiparesis (69%), headache (58%), aphasia (18%) and complete loss of consciousness (16%). Clinical improvement was observed in 81% while 09% had no change, 06% shows clinical deterioration and 04% of patients die during treatment.
Conclusion: Bilateral CSDH is common in the elderly and prognosis is poor with increasing age however gender has no association with poor outcomes. More than 80% of patients recover with timely interventions. 
Key message: Surgery leads to achieving good outcomes in cases of bilateral chronic SDH, but not all such patients will recover completely. Similarly, good functional outcomes can also be achieved in those presented early after symptom onset when managed promptly.
Primary intracranial malignant melanoma
Authors: Singh Deepak Kumar , Shankar Diwakar , Chand Vipin , Kaif Mohammad
Published: September 2023

Primary Intracranial Malignant Melanoma (PIMM) is a very rare neoplasm and accounts for 1% of all melanomas and 0.1% of all intracranial tumours. It carries a poor prognosis with overall poor survival. Diagnosis on mere imaging findings of an intracranial melanoma is a daunting task. Multimodality treatment with surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy have proved to be effective in improving clinical outcome in these patients.

Authors: Bolaño-Romero Maria Paz , Aguilar-Ramírez Angie Juliana , Hernández-Cañas María Camila , Gutiérrez-Ortega María Daniela , González-Patiño Valentina , Ortega-Sierra Michael Gregorio , Pacheco-Hernandez Alfonso
Published: September 2023

Walter Dandy was born in 1886 in Missouri into an immigrant family. From an early age, he stood out as a good and curious student, which led him to study initially at the University of Missouri and later at the John Hopkins School of Medicine where he had the opportunity to develop his potential as a researcher in the Hunterian surgical laboratory, under the tutelage of the prestigious Dr Harvey Cushing. His contributions to medicine as a surgical resident and later neurosurgeon marked a before and after in the history of the modernization of neurosurgery and enriched the knowledge of the anatomical structures of the central nervous system, considering his discovery of ventriculography as "the greatest single contribution to brain surgery", also being the first to successfully perform various surgical procedures, such as the clipping of aneurysms and the resection of tumours of the cerebellopontine and hypophysial angle.

Authors: Verma Abhijit , Gupta Vijay Kumar , Attry Sanjeev , Siddiqi Qamar , Singhavi Shashi
Published: September 2023

Background: CP angle Hemangiopericytoma are rare tumors. Pre-operative suspicion and gross total excision are key for better management due to their aggressive nature.

Case presentation: 18-year-old male presented with signs of progressive brainstem compression. Contrast MRI showed a polycystic enhancing SOL in the right CP angle region compressing the brain stem and cerebellar lobe. Operated with histopathology and IHC indicating it to be a Hemangiopericytoma.

Conclusions: Hemangiopericytoma being an aggressive tumour with a high rate of recurrence compared to other common tumours at CP angle, complete resection with definitive pathological diagnosis and radiotherapy are needed for a better outcome.
Cerebrospinal fluid leak after combat penetrating gunshot wound to the head
Authors: Perekopaiko Yurii
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Cerebrospinal fluid leak is a common complication after head gunshot wounds, which commonly leads to infectious complications. This complication may prolong hospital staying and prevents soldiers from return to operation theatre as soon as possible. 

The purpose of this article is to determine the impact of the quality of primary surgical debridement and other factors that influenced the presence of cerebrospinal fluid leak in the military stuff with gunshot wounds to the head. 

Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of 20 military cases with cerebrospinal fluid leak, which were admitted during the combat actions in Eastern Ukraine in the period from March 2014 to the end of December 2017. Information was collected on demographics, evacuation assistance, type of injury and infectious complications. R commander version 4.2.0 (http://www.r-project.org) was used for statistical analysis. Statistical significance was defined as p<0.05.

Results: Cerebrospinal fluid fistulas were detected in 20 cases (25,31%). Factors affecting the rate of leaks are number of re-operations (p<0.001), multiple sites of injury (p=0.002), ventricular injury (p<0.005). CSF leakage significantly lengthens hospitalization time.

Conclusions: CSF fistula influenced significantly rate of infection complication. Reoperation should follow initial surgery in cases of CSF leak development. To avoid development of cerebrospinal fluid fistulas, the operation should be performed by neurosurgeons in specialized department.

The practice of empathy in neurocritical care - an important aspect
The challenges and opportunities of patient safety culture in neurosurgical departments from the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Danu Silvia
Published: September 2023

Neurosurgery is a high-risk speciality, so the Patient Safety Culture should become a priority to improve patient safety and the quality of medical care. The purpose of the study was to explore the perception of Patient Safety Culture (PSC) among the staff in the neurosurgical departments of the Republic of Moldova.

A cross-sectional study was conducted in neurosurgical departments using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC). Descriptive statistics were carried out, comprising the Cronbach "?" coefficient, frequency of positive answers (PPRs), and level of minimum and maximum of 95% confidential interval. PPRs by question and dimension were analysed overall and classified according to the Harrington scale.

Medical staff from five hospitals voluntarily participated in the study. Most of the respondents rated the patient's safety grade as excellent and very good. The value of the frequency of positive responses to the dimensions of the survey varies between 37.3% (nonpunitive response to error) and 85.0% (teamwork within units). The dimensions with the highest score of the PPRs stand out: „teamwork within units”, „organizational learning- continuous improvement” and „supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting patient safety”. The dimension with a high score of PPRs was „feedback and communication about error”. The dimensions with a satisfactory score of the PPRs were „handoffs and transitions”, „frequency of events reported”, „management support for patient safety”, „teamwork across units”, „communication openness”, „overall perceptions on patient safety”, „non-punitive response to errors” and „staffing”.

For the first time in the Republic of Moldova, the perception of patient safety culture in neurosurgery departments was studied. The results reflect the positive attitude of the staff towards most dimensions of the patient safety culture. The study made it possible to highlight the strong and vulnerable points of the patient safety culture in neurosurgical departments from Moldova.

Published: September 2023

Secondary visual impairment induced by sinusitis is a rare condition that cannot be recognized in all cases. A steady decline in visual acuity and visual field together or alone is the main symptom patients may complain of on admission. This might be hard for general practitioners in Uzbekistan, as possible causes are either intracranial or ophthalmic abnormalities. Hence, it is frequently misdiagnosed or leads to late diagnosis once visual impairment becomes severe. In this paper, we discuss the case of a 9-year-old boy with impaired vision on the left side that was detected almost too late and could have led to complete vision loss. Ineffective conservative therapy was provided for four months. CT and MRI confirmed a lesion in the left sphenoethmoidal sinus. The patient then underwent endoscopic sphenoiethmodotomy with drainage of the left sphenoethmoidal sinus. In the early postoperative phase, as early as the next day after the surgical procedure, the patient experienced visual improvement. Forty days following surgery, in combination with postoperative conservative care in an eye hospital, there was a noticeable improvement in vision. In conclusion, it is crucial for ophthalmologists, neurologists, and ENT surgeons to focus on inflammation in the sphenoethmoidal sinus in children even with mild vision impairment.
Total intracranial migration of ventriculoperitoneal shunt
Authors: Khizar Ahtesham , Shah Syed Aamir , Zahid Soha , Yadav Jayant Kumar
Published: September 2023

Background. The ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a common treatment for hydrocephalus. There are several complications associated with it. Shunt failure is one of the most frequent complications, but total intracranial shunt migration is quite uncommon. The exact cause of shunt migration is unknown, but several factors are thought to play a role.
Case presentation. A 10-month-old boy was diagnosed with total intracranial migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (Chhabra type). We used neuroendoscopy to remove this intracranially migrated shunt and implanted a new ventriculoperitoneal shunt (Medtronic type) on the opposite side. He had a favourable clinical outcome.
Conclusion. Total intracranial shunt migration is an uncommon complication which is most likely caused by increased intraperitoneal pressure, strong head movements, and insufficient shunt fixation. Better patient handling combined with appropriate operative technique would be the best way to prevent shunt migration.
CHANGES IN AMINO ACID POOL OF CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES IN RATS WITH SUBTOTAL CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA

Published: September 2023

Amino acids and their derivatives are involved in synaptic transmission as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. However, some amino acids are involved in the formation of neuromediators. Therefore, the study of amino acid pool in subtotal cerebral ischemia (SCI) is of great importance.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in amino acid pool and the role of amino acids in oxidative processes in rats with SCI.
Materials and Methods. The experiments were carried out on 16 male outbred white rats (260±20 g) according to Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes, September 22, 2010.
Results. When modeling 1-hour partial cerebral ischemia (PCI) by unilateral ligation of the common carotid artery (CCA), no pronounced morphological changes at the microscopic and ultrastructural levels were observed. Also, there were no pronounced changes in the respiratory parameters of the mitochondrial fraction (only a slight decrease in ATP-synthase was noticed). It reflects the safety of the enzymatic complexes of the electron transport chain in the ischemic model, and changes in prooxidant-antioxidant balance of brain homogenates.
There was a decrease in sulfur-containing amino acids: methionine by 12 % (p<0.05) and cysteate by 28 % (p<0.05) in the parietal lobe of rats with SCI when compared with the control. Apparently, it was the result of the activation of oxidative stress. In turn, a decrease in cysteate prevents taurine synthesis. However, taurine level did not decrease, possibly due to its long half-life in the brain.
Conclusion. In rats with SСI, with 1-hour ischemia, there was a tendency to glycine increase in both studied lobes, whereas excitatory amino acids tended to decrease.

Published: September 2023

All over the world, sports professionals are interested in attracting new technologies to work-out sessions to increase sportsmanship. Literature reveals that EEG markers of cognitive function dynamics, sensorimotor integration, and psychological stability are important in assessing the functional state of athletes. In addition to a high level of physical fitness, elite athletes develop cognitive skills specific to a particular sport. Besides they demonstrate high sensorimotor integration, improved attention, perception and information processing and other characteristics ensuring high performance. The review systematically analyzes publications devoted to the correlation between physical activity and CNS functional state. It is established that indicators of EEG alpha rhythm power and frequency are significant neurophysiological markers of cognitive function state. These indicators contribute much to studying high- and low-intensity physical activity.
The authors analyzed such databases as Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, and eLIBRARY.
PROSPECTS FOR INITIAL TRIPLE ANTIHYPERTENSIVE THERAPY
Authors: Okorokova Tat'yana Olegovna , Kryuchkova Ol'ga Nikolaevna
Published: September 2023

The currently recommended initial dual antihypertensive therapy (AHT) results in poor blood pressure (BP) control, whereas most patients should undergo triple-combination therapy to achieve target levels. We have found only foreign publications concerning initial triple antihypertensive treatment.
The aim of the study is to compare the traditional step by step strategy of drug administration and application of three antihypertensive drugs simultaneously.
Materials and Methods. Trial subjects were divided into 2 groups: patients who received conventional dual therapy followed by a third drug agent (n=59) and patients who received initial triple AHT (n=57). The frequency of prescribed drugs and their dosage were comparable. The examination was carried at hospital according to the current standards of medical care for hypertensive adults. Values <140/90 mm Hg were taken as BP target level. Office blood pressure was tested 1 and 3 months after the therapy. 24-hour BP control was carried out 12 weeks after treatment.
Results. The analysis of cardiovascular risks (CVRs) did not reveal significant intergroup differences (p>0.05). Both treatment regimens demonstrated fewer complaints and a comparable frequency of adverse reactions (p>0.05). Intergroup comparison conducted 1 month after treatment showed lower SBP and DBP levels (p<0.001) and a significant decrease in blood pressure in the 2nd group compared to baseline (p<0.001). The chance of achieving BP target level with the traditional scheme was 0.20, while with the initial triple AHT it was 2.35. The odds ratio was 11.53 (95 % CI 4.76; 27.96).
Conclusion. Initial triple antihypertensive therapy has an advantage over the conventional one due to faster achievement of BP target levels. Given the comparable efficacy and frequency of adverse reactions, the strategy may be of interest for further study and implementation in practical medicine.

Published: September 2023

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders that are becoming more and more common. The steady incidence rate and delayed diagnosis require the expansion and improvement of diagnostic methods for early correction and improvement of patients’ quality of life.
The purpose of the study is to identify the changes in short-latency auditory evoked potentials (SAEPs) in children at risk for ASD formation, as well as in children with ASDs in order to determine the severity of speech delay and to draw up a corrective plan.
Materials and Methods. The authors examined 50 children with ASDs: 40 boys and 10 girls. The control group consisted of 23 children of the same age without clinical signs of ASDs and speech delay (15 boys and 8 girls). When registering SAEPs, peak 5 dominant latency was determined. The distribution parameters of the latent period values of SAEP peaks were estimated.
Results. A slight delay in peak 4 impulse conduction was found in children with ASDs over the age of 5. In the earlier age groups, these changes were considered clinically insignificant. When assessing peak 5, a sharp decrease in the speed of acoustic signals was observed in all age groups compared with the control. The results of SAEP assessment showed a pronounced slowdown in the conduction of auditory information by the brainstem at the mesencephalic level in children with ASDs compared to the control.
Conclusion. Children with ASDs are characterized by disturbances in the speed and frequency characteristics of brainstem auditory tracts. The revealed decrease in peak 5 velocity is important for diagnosis, including differential diagnosis of speech delay, drawing up a corrective plan and carrying out early corrective measures, and for the prevention of developmental disorders in young children.
Etudes et recherches sur la poésie juive au Maroc (I)

D'entrée de jeu, nous avons entrepris de détruire le mythe de l'absence du judaïsme maghrébin des quatre ou cinq derniers siècles de l'univers de la pensée juive en général et de la scène littéraire et poétique en particulier, en posant les jalons d'une étude qui recevra ultérieurement ses nécessaires développements.

Hebrew Rennaissance Poets in Russia. Their Reputations among Russian-Language Readers
Authors: Bernhardt Lewis
Published: September 2023

Hebrew poetry experienced a renascence in Tsarist Russia in the last decade of the 1800's and the first twenty-old years of this century. This movement was paralleled by the appearance of the best of this poetry in Russian translations made by some of the greatest Russian poets of this century. The reputations of the Hebrew poets grew steadily among Russian readers and was enhanced by sympathetic support from Maxim Gorky and others who fought for equal rights for Jews. The years 1916-1918 saw much praise and adulation directed by Russian readers to Chaim Nachman Bialik (1873-1934). After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, Hebrew poetry was translated less and less, and by 1924 only «authorized » translations from the Hebrew were allowed to be published. Officiai Soviet attitudes toward Bialik and modern Hebrew poetry have varied from decade to decade since 1924.
L'altérité juive dans la pensée espagnole 1550-1650
Authors: Méchoulan Henry
Published: September 2023

L'étude de l'altérité juive a une double finalité. Rendre compte d'abord de l'importance de l'obsession raciste dans la pensée philosophique, médicale, juridique espagnole entre 1550 et 1650. Dans ce domaine, on a mis en lumière, à quelques exceptions près, que le savoir se trahit en devenant le reflet de l'opinion dont on connaît la frénésie raciste.

Mais ensuite, on a voulu montrer un aspect moins connu de la pensée espagnole. C'est pourquoi cette étude s'est attachée à présenter les conséquences morales et politiques des délires de cette passion qui déterminent un retour vers une lucidité, un «desengaño», et une double moralité. Celle-ci abritera un universalisme cosmopolite issu du retour vers un stoïcisme authentique, engendrant des méditations hardies et hétérodoxes qui n'excluent pas une condamnation, le plus souvent implicite mais parfois explicite, du racisme.
Les baqqāšōt d'Orient et d'Occident. Aperçu historique et descriptif
Authors: Fenton Paul B.
Published: September 2023

Après avoir évoqué la renaissance d'une riche littérature de baqqäsöt sous l'impulsion du mouvement kabbalistique au xvne siècle nous avons tâché de dessiner les développements ultérieurs de ce rite rénové auprès des communautés du Levant et du Maghreb, en souli¬ gnant leur origine commune et leur ressemblance essentielle. Esquis¬ sant ensuite à grands traits les genres, les thèmes, la production abondante des divers auteurs de baqqäsöt, nous nous sommes attaché à étudier en particulier les modalités de leur exécution vocale et leurs relations avec la musique populaire des localités respectives. A ce propos nous avons voulu montrer que les adaptations de la musique autochtone ne furent en rien superficielles, qu'elles ont exigé au contraire une grande familiarité avec les traditions musicales envi¬ ronnantes et même avec certaines traditions religieuses des mystiques musulmans.
Vérité prophétique et vérité philosophique chez Nissim de Gérone. Une interprétation du «Récit de la Création» et du «Récit du Char»
Authors: Klein-braslavy Sara
Published: September 2023

Dans cet article nous voulons démontrer que R. Nissim de Gérone adopte les vues d'Isaac Albalag touchant les rapports entre la religion et la philosophie : la vérité prophétique et la vérité philosophique sont deux vérités distinctes et chacune est appré¬ hendée par un mode de connaissance qui lui est particulier. La vérité prophétique est appréhendée à la faveur d'un «épanche-ment divino-prophétique », par une connaissance a priori, c'est-à-dire une démarche de cause à effet ; la vérité philosophique est appréhendée par «recherche », par une connaissance a posteriori, c'est-à-dire une progression de l'effet à la cause.

R. Nissim développe cette vue fondamentale élucidant le sens des concepts «œuvre de la création » et «vision du char divin ». Il critique l'identification posée par Maïmonide entre «l'œuvre de la création » et la Physique d'Aristote d'une part, et la «vision du char divin » et la Métaphysique d'autre part, et précise que ces sciences étant ésotériques ne peuvent être que basées sur la connaissance prophétique et non sur la connaissance philosophique. R. Nissim fixe le domaine de 1'«œuvre de la création » et de la «vision du char divin » par l'analyse de la connaissance intellec¬ tuelle possible dans ce bas-monde et en précise les limitations. Ici, il est influencé, comme on peut le constater, par des principes épistémologiques en vogue — dans la littérature médicale entre autres — de la théorie sémiologique qui remonte aux stoïciens et aux épicuriens, et aussi par les théories de R. Juda Halévi et d'Albalag quant au problème de la limitation de la connaissance philosophique et du caractère des connaissances prophétique et divine. L'«œuvre de la création » est, selon lui, une explication du rapport causal entre les différents intellects et les formes des choses dans ce monde, et entre ces formes et les actions qui en dérivent ; alors que le «char divin » est la connaissance de la manière dont s'enchaînent les différents intellects à partir de Dieu.

La critique par R. Nissim de l'interprétation maïmonidienne des concepts d'«œuvre de la création » et de «vision du char divin » a influencé son disciple Hasday Crescas qui charge ces concepts de significations mystiques.
Problems of the Meat Market of Béziers, 1240-1247. A Question of Anti-Semitism
Authors: Jordan William Chester
Published: September 2023

This paper discusses the history of ecclesiastical statutes forbidding Christians and Jews from engaging in commercial intercourse. It suggests that in the particular case of the meat trade, despite prevailing taboos against Jews in the 13th century, these prohibitions were not effective. This was true even where the ecclesiastical prohibi¬ tions could draw additional propaganda from already existing dissatisfaction with the specific trade and/or merchants involved in the condemned practices. Thus, for this paper, popular ideas about butchers — although they were very negative — were unable to disturb the customary sale to Christians of those cuts of Jewish livestock regarded by the Jews as ritually unsuitable for their personal consumption. The mutual interdependency of Christians and Jews is vividly illustrated during periods of dearth — as, for example, in the 1240's in the Béziers farming region of southern France when the Jewish-Christian retail meat trade apparently reached a peak. Yet the very intensity of this activity alarmed churchmen and caused them to seek support for their decrees from lay authorities. This paper, therefore, also examines the character of the intervention (in 1247) of the king of France in the Jewish-Christian retail meat trade in Béziers and his role in bringing it to an end.
Une page de l'histoire des Juifs de Marseille au XIXe siècle. La construction du Temple de la rue Breteuil (1864)
Authors: Cohen David
Published: September 2023

En 1840, la communauté juive de Marseille comptait 1 007 âmes et le temple de la rue Grignan s'avéra alors trop exigu. Aussi la nécessité de construire un nouveau temple s'imposa-t-elle aux membres du Consistoire. Ce ne fut pourtant que sous le Second Empire que les démarches se précisèrent ; une souscription fut ouverte pour l'édification du temple. Soixante des notables juifs les plus fortunés de la ville y apportèrent leur contribution. La Ville de Marseille accorda une subvention et le gouvernement participa au projet. Mais des divergences naquirent au sein de la communauté quant au choix de l'emplacement. Les uns optant pour le site de l'ancien temple, dans le voisinage immédiat des lieux d'habitation de la grande majorité des Juifs ; les autres préférant un quartier quelque peu ex¬ centrique, mais un terrain plus vaste. La seconde solution (rue Breteuil) fut choisie. Le Consistoire sut éviter la scission parmi ses membres. La pose de la première pierre (1863) et l'inauguration (1864) furent l'occasion de deux cérémonies et de nombreuses allo¬ cutions. En présence des autorités et personnalités juives et non juives du département et du ressort de la circonscription du Consistoire, le président et le Grand Rabbin de cette organisation s'attachèrent à remercier la municipalité et le gouvernement. Il ressortait des propos du Grand Rabbin — qui évoqua les dangers du prosélytisme chrétien et les «esprits obtus » — que si l'on était satisfait de l'attitude du pouvoir vis-à-vis du culte juif, ce n'était sans réserves quant aux rapports entre Juifs et Chrétiens. Les préjugés à l'égard des Juifs demeuraient vivaces. Néanmoins, la preuve d'une politique harmo¬ nieuse dans le domaine des cultes avait été donnée par l'aide accordée pour cette réalisation dont la qualité rehaussa le prestige des Juifs marseillais.
A autonomia da vontade decorrente da dignidade da pessoa humana como princípio basilar da mediação e conciliação
Authors: Tokumi Carine Alfama Lima
Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a autonomia de vontade e a liberdade individual no âmbito da autocomposição, sobretudo mediação e conciliação, a partir de uma visão multiportas de acesso à justiça, como alternativa à necessidade de utilização da via judicial. Para tanto, a pesquisa utilizou o método hipotético-dedutivo, fundamentado em revisão bibliográfica. Como resultado, constatou-se que é necessário apurar a real vontade das partes de se submeterem a um procedimento de autocomposição para que não restem dúvidas ou discordância quanto à realização do acordo, propiciando o entendimento, a pacificação do conflito e o restabelecimento da harmonia nas relações. É crucial que a vontade, além de manifestada de forma eficaz, não seja eivada de vícios de manifestação, já que sua expressão não pode encontrar óbice ou obstáculo jurídico, a exemplo da hipótese de coação. O principal pilar que rege a midação e a conciliação é o princípio da autonomia de vontade, logo, a autocomposição só poderá ser estabelecida se as partes estiverem de comum acordo, sob pena de ofensa à dignidade humana.

The results of a study of birch test cultures obtained by different methods of ex situ pollination and introduced into culture in vitro are presented. To identify the phenotypic, cultural and cytological characteristics of two birch species naturally growing in the Central Black Earth Region - silver birch (diploid) and downy birch (tetraploid), test cultures of seed origin F1 and F2 were specially created. The article presents data on phenotypic (growth in height in the juvenile and reproductive periods of ontogeny), genetic selection (seed propagation system) variability and some characteristics of the introduction of F1 seed progeny of breeding forms of local birch species into in vitro culture. To predict the growth characteristics of seed progeny of breeding forms of local birch species obtained by different methods of pollination - self-pollination and open pollination at different stages of ontogeny (at the age of 2 and 10 years), a statistical processing of the feature of growth in height of families was carried out using the rank Spearman's correlation coefficient ρ. Species specificity was shown in response to different pollination methods, morphogenic activity of self-fertile and self-sterile forms of these birch species on a nutrient medium ½ MC + 6-benzylaminopurine 1 mg/l, primary shoot formation of explants and regenerative capacity in these species, the nature of morphogenesis (formation of the main escape). For the polyploid species (downy birch), a higher level of self-fertility was established, as well as a more intensive growth of shoots in height than for drooping birch; primary explants in the former had a different character of morphogenesis (there was a joint initiation of the main shoot with adventitious ones) than in silver birch (formation of the main shoot), which indicates a greater adaptive potential for polyploid species and their greater opportunities for inclusion in genetic breeding experiments and obtaining valuable breeding forms.

Modern enterprises of the forest complex are a sphere of production, in which information technologies are increasingly being introduced to increase efficiency. To improve the efficiency of maintenance and repair of forest machines for forestry and forestry industries, it is necessary to evaluate the possibility of using specialized software in forestry and logging industries. To compare the functionality and deployment capabilities, various programs of domestic and foreign manufacturers are considered, used both for automating repair work and for managing maintenance and repair. A comparative assessment of the similarities and differences of software products based on cluster analysis of binary data interpreted by the method of intergroup relations using the Jac-card measure is carried out. Due to the specifics of forestry enterprises (forest machines are located at a consid-erable distance from the service base), in order to monitor the technical condition, it is necessary that forest ma-chines be equipped with a diagnostic system and data transmission facilities. When choosing a specific software, it is necessary to rely on such parameters as the size of the enterprise of the forest complex, its needs, financial capabilities. The software should be integrated into a single information space that allows the use of digital twin’s technology.

Organic fertilizer in the form of compost is possible to be continuesly applied in oil palm plantations, including in nurseries. This is one of the efforts to support the realization of sustainable oil palm plantations. This experiment aims to examine the effect of adding compost made out of empty oil palm bunches (EOPB) and bacteria Bacillus sp. applied either singly or in combination between the two to the state of the dry matter of oil palm seedlings. The experiment was carried out at the Ciparanje Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University from February to May 2022. The experiment was a field test using a randomized block design consisting of nine treatments, repeated three times. The treatments included NPK inorganic fertilizer, Bacillus sp. (25 mL and 35 mL), EOPB compost (100 g, 150 g and 200 g) given to each oil palm seedlings. The experimental results showed that the administration of Bacillus sp. 25 mL/seedling alone had good effect on the dry weight of the roots and dry weight of the oil palm seedlings, while the addition of 150 g/seedling EOPB compost alone had a good effect on the dry weight of the oil palm seedling shoots. The condition of the dry matter of the seedlings with the provision of Bacillus sp. and EOPB compost is as good as oil palm seedlings which are only given NPK fertilizer so that in this case the EOPB compost and Bacillus sp. can be used as an alternative fertilizer to be applied in oil palm nurseries.

An assessment of the intellectual potential of scientific personnel on the platform of electronic demography was carried out. The current situation in the field of forming population registers, conducting demographic studies, as well as a number of works related to the use of new sources of information and big data have been studied. Analyzed studies cover the assessment of human resources, the intellectual potential of the country and issues of scientific migration. To determine the factors influencing the intellectual potential of countries, an analysis of trends in demography and economic activity of the population, the level of education, the system of training and its financing was made. In order to monitor and predict scientific activity in accordance with the existing potential, to conduct analytical and statistical analysis, a Unified Electronic Information System on Scientific Personnel has been created. The article analyzes the intellectual potential of scientific personnel based on registry data on scientific personnel, which are clustered using the k-means method, which is a machine learning algorithm. Based on the results obtained, data on age groups, academic degrees, universities and the number of scientific publications were studied. Subsequent studies will take into account the issues of scientific productivity and scientific migration, which are of great importance in terms of assessing the country’s intellectual potential.

Published: September 2023

An innovation-industrial cluster is an association of business entities for the purpose of their effective interaction and joint sustainable development. The most important component of the cluster development infrastructure is the digital platform of the industrial cluster – an information system designed to support the interaction of cluster members throughout its entire life cycle. Within the framework of the digital platform, applied and specific tasks for the cluster members are solved. The article is devoted to solving the problem of multilateral clearing of settlements between cluster members. The solution to the problem is the plan of mutual settlements between the cluster members, which minimizes the objective function that sets the value of the costs of counterparties in mutual settlements. Algorithms for the formation of the optimal plan are given. The examples of solving the multilateral clearing problems are considered.

Authors: Sadouski M. E.
Published: September 2023

The paper proposes an approach to the individualization of user interfaces based on the integration of existing ontologies in the form of a single semantic model. The relevance of the work is due to the need to improve the efficiency and usability of user interfaces of intelligent systems. Guidelines for applying software individualization to achieve the highest possible level of usability based on ISO 9241-129:2010 and existing ontologies for implementing individualization are reviewed. A semantic model is developed to provide individualization of user interfaces of ostis-systems. The model is implemented within the framework of the Nika intelligent dialog assistant and is a reusable component, the use of which allows to reduce the cost of development of intelligent systems that require user interface individualization possibility.
