Cervical squamous cell carcinoma is observed as the second major cause of mortality worldwide. A highly conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway occurs in a wide range of cellular processes which includes differentiation, proliferation, migration, senescence, and apoptosis. MAPK pathway can be activated by various extracellular signals, capable of generating responses as per the cell type. Thus, alteration of the EGFR receptor in this particular pathway leads to the condition of cancer due to abnormal activation of receptor tyrosine kinases. The characteristic features of microRNA (miRNA) which are endogenous, single-stranded, small non-coding RNA for their role in RNA silencing and post-transitional regulation of gene expression have been studied over the years. The miRNA functions by base pairing with the complementary sequences within the mRNA molecule. One such miRNA, miR-329-3p has a critical tumor suppressor role in the MAPK pathway, however, is least understood. Therefore, miRNA could be considered as a potential biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic purposes and brought out to its fullest use to mankind.
The cultural and philosophical foundations of the correlation of the phenomena of «artistry» and «creativity»
Authors: Kachay Ilya Sergeevich
Published: June 2024

The object of this research is artistry and creativity as sociocultural phenomena. The subject of this research is the cultural and philosophical foundations of the correlation of the desired phenomena. The developed foundations represent the criterion foundation for differentiating artistry and creativity from the point of view of ontological, epistemological, axiological, sociocultural, anthropological, praxiological, ethical and aesthetic approaches. The phenomenon of «artistry» is justified as the creation of a previously non-existent or original, meaningful and qualitative transformation of existing being, which manifests itself in the establishment of a work of art that is valuable to the subject itself, society and culture due to its actual exclusivity. In turn, creativity is defined as a combinatorial and plagiarized comparison or formal and quantitative redistribution of heterogeneous fragments of being, which manifests itself in the emergence of an artistic work that has a certain price for a mass consumer audience due to its superficial «elitism». The methodological foundation of this research is a systematic approach, comparative-historical and analytical-interpretative methods, as well as hermeneutic and phenomenological approaches. The scientific novelty of the conducted research lies in a holistic, systematic and poly-aspect substantiation of the essence of the phenomena of artistry and creativity and the disclosure of the features of their sources, process, subject and orientation. On the basis of the developed cultural and philosophical foundations, multidimensional definitions of artistry and creativity are formulated, including the designated critical features. The research also outlines the contours of a special philosophical discipline – the philosophy of creativity and its separate subsections. The main conclusion of the research is the position on the inadmissibility of replacing artistry with creativity in order to avoid the dangers of depersonalization of the creative subject, dehumanization of social relations and degradation of cultural traditions.
Detection of Defects by Identification of Thermal Contact Resistance
Authors: Ayache Maha , Hamraoui Mohamed , Ezzizaoui Youssef
Published: June 2024

With technological development, the use of electronic components has become indispensable. These circuits that invade our daily lives are present in all kinds of applications and in all areas of active life. These components have become much miniaturized and still undergo very high powers that can cause a detachment between the layers, reflecting the delamination phenomenon that can be modeled by thermal contact resistances. The present work is a study of the thermal contact resistance estimation in multilayer electronic structures using an approach based on the Levenberg–Marquardt method. The first part of the contribution focuses on the study of the impact of the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm’s damping factor on the identification of the thermal contact resistance, or more precisely, the impact of the decay rate. The results show that a judicious choice of this parameter ensures very good precision and good convergence of identification. The second part is devoted to the study of the impact of the measurement sensor’s position in the structure on the identification. The results obtained are satisfactory. The cost function converges to the expected minimum and ensures a good identification of the thermal contact resistance, whether it is identical or different at the contact interface.

Гендерные различия в адаптивных стратегиях населения Республики Тыва
Authors: Натсак Органа Доржуевна , Балакина Галина Фёдоровна
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируются гендерные различия в адаптивных стратегиях населения Республики Тыва при выборе населением способов улучшения материального положения, склонности и интересе к традиционным занятиям, миграционных намерениях. Статья основывается на результатах социологического опроса населения Тувы, проведённого в 2023 г. (выборка — 421 чел.).
Выявлено, что женщины Тувы социально более активны по сравнению с мужчинами. Для повышения уровня дохода семьи женщины выбирают чаще оптимальные стратегии: получение дополнительного образования и смену профессии. Для женщин более характерна склонность к риску, желание не ограничиваться небольшим твердым заработком, а также поиск своей рыночной ниши для повышения доходов.
В адаптивных стратегиях населения республики выявлена общая тенденция, связанная со стремлением к высокооплачиваемому городскому труду, миграции за пределы республики. Женщины демонстрируют меньший интерес к традиционным занятиям тувинцев как профессиональному виду деятельности и адаптивной стратегии, а также большую склонность к рыночным видам деятельности, предпринимательству, связанным с риском, чем мужчины. Женщины Тувы более ориентированы на инновационные виды деятельности. Анализ миграционных намерений респондентов показал, что женщины больше предпочитают межрегиональное направление миграции в сравнении с внутрирегиональным. Мотивы миграционных намерений связаны со стремлением к устройству на более высокооплачиваемую работу, должность, получению детьми более высокого уровня образования, воссоединению с родственниками.
Сельско-городское взаимодействие в Туве (по материалам интервью с уроженцами Овюрского района)
Authors: Тарбастаева Инна Семеновна
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируются особенности сельско-городского взаимодействия в Республике Туве. Источником исследования выступили полуформализованные глубинные интервью с сельскими и городскими жителями (бывшими сельскими) из Овюрского района, проводившиеся в 2022 г.
Ключевой особенностью сельско-городского взаимодействия в тувинском обществе является его интенсивность, плотность контактов между городскими и сельскими жителями. Опираясь на концепцию потоков движения (rural-urban flows) Д.К. Линча, автор выделяет несколько основных направлений: хозяйственные потоки продовольствия из села в город, трудовые сезонные потоки родственников из города в село, образовательные потоки школьников из села в город и этнокультурные потоки из города в село.
Плотное неформальное экономическое взаимодействие происходит, прежде всего, за счет содержания общей чабанской стоянки. Между родственниками, которые в этом участвуют, происходит обмен продовольствием, рабочей силы. В тувинских селах распространена практика перевода детей в городские школы с проживанием у родственников, что приводит к переполненности городских учебных заведений. В свою очередь сельские территории служат важной духовной составляющей для городских жителей, которые наделяют их сакральным статусом и местом сохранения тувинского языка и традиционной культуры.
Автор делает вывод, что за счет сельско-городского взаимодействия жители пытаются преодолеть существующие социально-экономические трудности, компенсировать дефицит социальных, институциональных благ.

Тувинские паремии с компонентом-религионимом (на фоне других языков)
Authors: Зиновьева Елена Иннокентьевна , Алёшин Алексей Сергеевич , Цховребов Алан Солтанович
Published: June 2024

В статье рассматриваются тувинские паремии с компонентами-религионимами на фоне бурятского, осетинского, русского и шведского  языков. Подобные пословицы и поговорки присутствуют в различных языках. Как количество паремийных единиц с подобными компонентами, так и состав самих компонентов-религионимов различается в каждом языке в зависимости от культурно-религиозных особенностей народа-носителя соответствующего языка, а также от наличия и объема паремиографических источников.
Тенгрианско-шамано-буддийский религиозный синкретизм тувинцев обусловил состав религионимов, используемых в составе паремий: наряду с лексемами бурган, Богда и лама в тувинских паремиях функционируют хам и аза. Однако в исследуемом паремиологическом фонде количественно преобладают единицы, восходящие к буддизму. С точки зрения структурных моделей в исследуемых тувинских паремиях доминирует синтаксический параллелизм.
Сходства в паремиях тувинского и других анализируемых языков наблюдаются в использовании в их составе таких религионимов, как наименования священнослужителей и мифологем. И лама, и шаман оцениваются в выражениях тувинской народной мудрости негативно. Та же ситуация наблюдается и при оценке священника в осетинских и шведских паремиях, попа — в русских.
Отличия проявляются в общем количестве паремий с компонентом-религионимом в каждом языке, количестве и составе самих используемых компонентов-религионимов, в преобладании определенных типов синтаксических моделей паремий, выражаемых частных установках культуры и сопоставлениях (бог — черт в тувинских и русских паремиях, шаман — силач — в бурятских, священник (поп) — черт — в русских и шведских, священник — мулла — в осетинских и др.). В тувинских паремиях в большей степени отразились буддистские верования, тогда как в бурятских наблюдается превалирование лексики, связанной с шаманизмом.
An investigation into the chiropractic practice and communication of routine repetitive radiographic imaging for the location of postural misalignments
Authors: Williams Brogan , Gichard Luke , Johnson David , Louis Matthew
Published: June 2024

Many clinicians use radiological imaging in efforts to locate and diagnose the cause of their patient’s pain, relying on X-rays as a leading tool in clinical evaluation. This is fundamentally flawed because an X-ray represents a “snapshot” of the structural appearance of the spine and gives no indication of the current function of the spine. The health and well-being of any system, including the spinal motion segments, depend on the inter-relationship between structure and function. Pain, tissue damage, and injury are not always directly correlated. Due to such a high incidence of abnormalities found in asymptomatic patients, the diagnostic validity of X-rays can be questioned, especially when used in isolation of history and/or proper clinical assessment. The utility of routine X-rays is, therefore, questionable. One may posit that their application promotes overdiagnosis, and unvalidated treatment of X-ray findings (such as changes in postural curvature), which may mislead patients into believing these changes are directly responsible for their pain. A substantial amount of research has shown that there is no association between pain and reversed cervical curves. Accuracy can also be questioned, as X-ray measurements can vary based on the patient’s standing position, which research shows is influenced by an overwhelming number of factors, such as patient positioning, patient physical and morphological changes over time, doctor interreliability, stress, pain, the patient’s previous night’s sleep or physical activity, hydration, and/or emotional state. Furthermore, research has concluded that strong evidence links various potential harms with routine, repeated X-rays, such as altered treatment procedures, overdiagnosis, radiation exposure, and unnecessary costs. Over the past two decades, medical boards and health associations worldwide have made a substantial effort to communicate better “when” imaging is required, with most education around reducing radiographic imaging. In this review, we describe concerns relating to the high-frequency, routine use of spinal X-rays in the primary care setting for spine-related pain in the absence of red-flag clinical signs.

Published: June 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between work-family conflict and the performance of female workers. This work employs a quantitative-correlational research methodology. This study distributed a Likert scale questionnaire through the Google Form platform as the data collection method. A correlation coefficient of 0.736 from the Rank Spearman association hypothesis test shows that there is a strong positive relationship between the work-family conflict variable and the performance of female workers. Moreover, the p-value is below 0.05 (particularly 0.037), suggesting a statistically significant association between Variable X (work-family conflict) and Variable Y (performance conflict among female workers). The motivation behind this research stems from the findings of researchers at PT. X, which indicate that married female professionals encounter challenges in balancing their household and public responsibilities.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to investigate and develop a mobile tax accounting dictionary that functions as a self-learning tool for improving speaking competence through project-based learning. The dictionary was created based on the ADDIE Model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). The application was developed utilizing the Waterfall approach, PHP programming language, and the SLIM framework. The application covered a wide range of tax accounting terms with bilingual sample sentences, learning materials focusing on grammatical constructions utilized in business meeting presentations, an evaluation section featuring vocabulary placement tests, and exercises at varying difficulty levels. During the implementation phase, a quasi-experimental approach was employed using a pretest-posttest control group design with 52 participants from the Accounting Taxation Study Program. To evaluate the impact of the dictionary application on student learning achievement, the speaking scores of the students were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the SPSS Statistics 25 program. The data analysis, specifically the independent Samples Test output table, revealed a significant difference (Sig value < 0.05) between the results of the control and treatment classes. Consequently, the self-learning Taxation Accounting Dictionary application produced in this study was an excellent aid for boosting students’ speaking skills, as evidenced by improved performance after using the application.

Published: June 2024

Law No. 24/2007 defines a disaster as a series of events that threaten and disrupt people's lives caused by natural, non-natural, and human factors, resulting in loss of life, environmental damage, and property loss. Landak Regency is one of the areas in West Kalimantan that is often flooded. Floods in Landak Regency impact people's lives, so they must be minimized. One of the efforts to minimize flooding is by mapping flood vulnerability. Flood vulnerability mapping is one of the early mitigations that utilize technological developments.This article presents the research results that aim to map the level of flood vulnerability in Landak Regency. The mapping was carried out using ArcGIS 10.8 software, and the data used are rainfall data, land use maps, slope, soil type, and land cover.The analysis shows the runoff coefficient rose from 0.16 in 2012 to 0.19 in 2021 due to land use changes converting forests and agriculture to settlements, impacting drainage. Flood vulnerability mapping identified highly vulnerable areas covering 21.41% of Landak Regency, focused near Ngabang, Sebangki, and Mandor, particularly along rivers. Vulnerability in Ngabang District decreased due to upstream spatial control policies, which established it as a protected forest area under regulations. Flood vulnerability assessment against Landak Regency's RTRW revealed flood-prone areas covering 490,097.51 Ha (60.77%), dominated by plantations (303,947.52 Ha), production forests (73,610.58 Ha), and agriculture (47,259.98 Ha). These results highlight the necessity of comprehensive spatial planning to effectively manage flood risks and protect Landak Regency's environment and communities.

Published: June 2024

The catalytic activity of an NHC-pyridonate-supported nickel(0) complex for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl halides was evaluated. Product formation was observed in the absence of a basic additive. However, low turnover numbers resulted from competitive catalyst deactivation. The nature of catalyst deactivation—dimerization of the nickel(II) aryl intermediate—was elucidated through a combination of NMR monitoring, direct synthesis, and X-ray diffraction. This discovery was leveraged to identify additives that enable improved catalyst stability and turnover, thereby highlighting both the promise and pitfalls associated with incorporating secondary-sphere modifications for cooperative catalysis.

Established desalination technologies such as thermal distillation and reverse osmosis require advanced infrastructure and costly installation limiting their widespread implementation. Floating interfacial solar evaporation devices are considered a land-saving, environmentally friendly, and low infrastructure approach for freshwater production. Addressing issues related to maximum heat localization, prevention of salt accumulation and operating under stressful environmental conditions are some of the major challenges with floating solar desalination. This project presents an experimental demonstration of a plasmonic TiC nanoparticle-based floating solar still that can operate continuously under sunlight to produce clean water while floating on saline water sources. All materials, such as the PVC plastic condensation dome, EVA foam support, cotton wicks, and polyester filter fabric were chosen carefully to maximize the freshwater output of the solar still. The outdoor experiments were conducted in Halifax, Canada, where modest solar insolation of around 6 kW m-2 day-1 led to daily water yields up to 3.67 L m-2. The water can be produced at costs as low as $0.0086 L-1, and the solar still can be easily modified to generate thermoelectricity. This could allow for small onboard devices to test water quality without the need for an external electricity source. The results of this study will contribute to further development of floating solar desalination to provide potable water for water-stressed communities.
Theoretical Study of the Isotope Effect in Optical Rotation

Published: June 2024

In this work, the isotope effect in optical rotation (OR) is examined by exploring structure- property relationships for H → D substitutions in chiral molecules. While electronic effects serve as the dominant source of optical activity, there is a non-negligible contribution from nuclear vibrations, which changes with isotopic substitution. We employ a test set of 50 small organic molecules: three-membered rings with varying heteroatoms (PCl, PH, S, NCl, NH, O, NBr) and functional groups (Me, F), and simulations were run at the B3LYP/aug- cc-pVDZ level of theory. The objectives of this work are to determine locations of isotopic substitution that result in significant changes in the vibrational correction to the OR and to evaluate which vibrational modes and electronic response are the major contributors to the isotope effect. Molecules with more polarizable heteroatoms in the ring (e.g., S and P) have the largest change in the vibrational correction compared to the unsubstituted parent molecules. In many cases, isotopic substitution made to the hydrogens on the opposite side of the ring from the functional group provides the largest change in the OR. H/D wagging modes and C vibrations (for D–C centers) are the largest contributors to the isotope effect. This is explained with a molecular orbital decomposition analysis of the OR. The relevant vibrational modes affect the orbital transitions that are already significant at the equilibrium geometry. However, this effect is only large when polarizable heteroatoms are involved, because the electron density surrounding them is diffuse enough to feel the subtle effect of change in mass due to isotopic substitution on the relevant vibrational modes.
Catalytic Hydrogenation of Alkylphenols for Renewable Caprolactone

Published: June 2024

Selective hydrogenation of lignin-derived alkyl-phenol to alkyl-cyclohexanone is a key step in the synthesis of renewable caprolactone from lignin-derived monomers. Selective hydrogenation of p-cresol, a model compound for lignin-derived monomers, to 4-methyl-cyclohexanone was conducted using Pd/γ-Al2O3 in a continuous three-phase flow reactor, with side products of 4-methyl cyclohexanol. High conversion (85%) and selectivity (>93%) was demonstrated at ambient reaction pressure. Evaluation of the hydrogenation at different reaction parameters showed that the reaction selectivity was determined by the surface coverage of p-cresol and 4-methyl cyclohexanone. High selectivity to 4-methyl cyclohexanone was also attributed to the lower apparent activation barrier of p-cresol hydrogenation (67 ± 2 kJ/mol) compared to hydrogenation 4-methyl cyclohexanone (92 ± 11 kJ/mol), with a faster rate of initial hydrogenation of p-cresol relative to carbonyl hydrogenation of 4-methyl-cyclohexanone.

Published: June 2024

Bu çalışma, 2000’li yıllarda Türkiye’ye yönelik uluslararası turizm talebinin belirleyicilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada bağımlı değişken olarak, 2002-2022 yılları arasında Türkiye’ye en çok turist gönderen ilk 10 ülkenin (Almanya, Rusya, Birleşik Krallık, Bulgaristan, Hollanda, İran, Fransa, Yunanistan, Avusturya ve Belçika) gönderdiği turist sayıları alınmıştır. Literatürdeki önceki çalışmalardan hareketle, uluslararası turizm talebinin belirleyicileri olarak: Gelir ve fiyat düzeyleri, Türk Lirası’nın reel efektif döviz kuru, turist gönderen ülkelerin Türkiye’ye olan uzaklığı ve ilgili ülkelerin politik istikrar endeksleri analize dahil edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, turist menşei ülkelerin kişi başına düşen gelirleri ve siyasi istikrarları, Türkiye’ye yönelik uluslararası turizm talebini olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Ancak, turistin geldiği ülkede fiyatlar genel düzeyinin veya Türk Lirası’nın değerinin artması talebi olumsuz etkilemektedir. Ayrıca, Türkiye’ye olan uzaklık da talebi negatif etkileyen unsurlardan birisidir. Ampirik bulgular Türkiye için sadece göreli ucuz mal ve hizmet sağlanmasına dayanan bir makro turizm politikasının yetersiz kalacağını ortaya koymaktadır.

Cognitive impairments in children with disabilities can significantly impact their learning and daily functioning. Computerized cognitive retraining programs offer a promising solution for enhancing cognitive skills in a home-based setting. This research paper explores the development and effectiveness of a computerized cognitive retraining program designed specifically for children with disabilities. The program includes a series of interactive exercises aimed at improving attention, memory, problem- solving, and executive functioning skills. The study involved a cohort of children with various disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder and attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Participants engaged in the retraining program at home under the guidance of caregivers, with progress monitored over a period of several weeks. The results showed a marked improvement in cognitive performance across multiple domains, as measured by standardized assessment tools. Caregivers also reported increased engagement and motivation among the children. This paper concludes that computerized cognitive retraining can be a valuable tool for supporting children with disabilities. It provides a flexible and accessible approach to cognitive development, allowing for consistent practice in a familiar environment. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of the program and to identify specific elements that contribute to its success.
