ЗБРОЙНИЙ ТА ВОЄННИЙ КОНФЛІКТ ЯК ФЕНОМЕН СУЧАСНОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА
Authors: Задорожня Олена Володимирівна
Published: December 2024

Розвиток будь-якого суспільства є складним і багатоетапним процесом, який відбувається в рамках схеми «початок – розвиток – вирішення» об’єктивно обґрунтованих протиріч і конфліктів. Стаття має на меті здійснити теоретико-методологічний аналіз сутності конфлікту та характеристику понять збройний та воєнний конфлікт у сучасному світі. Методи дослідження. Для досягнення мети та отримання належних результатів дослідження проведено з використанням сучасної загальнонаукової методології. У результаті дослідження з’ясовано, що сучасні конфліктологічні теорії конфлікт розуміють як форму соціальної взаємодії. Конфлікт є об’єктивно притаманним явищем для суспільства. Його сутність, причини, форми прояву та способи врегулювання доступні розумінню лише на основі глибокого з’ясування природи суспільства та особливо людини, закономірностей соціальних відносин та взаємодії людей. Проаналізовано зміст понять «воєнний конфлікт», «збройний конфлікт», визначено їх співвідношення. Висновки. Підсумовуючи, можна стверджувати, що існування суспільства без конфліктів неможливе. Не можна категорично назвати конфлікт проявом дисфункції організацій, що відхиляється поведінкою індивідів і груп, феноменом життя. Найімовірніше, конфлікт – необхідна форма соціальної взаємодії для людей. Воєнний конфлікт в Україні давно переріс статус регіонального. За впливом, що триває, і ймовірним наслідкам це – подія глобальна, що змінює політичний вигляд не тільки європейської спільноти, а й міжнародних відносин в цілому. Продовження російсько-української війни може стати причиною підриву глобальної безпеки та стабільності у світі. Конфлікт поставив під велике питання цінності та принципи світового правопорядку, що підлягають переосмисленню.

У даній статті поставлено за мету дослідження суті, місце та ролі судової влади в Україні у побудові правової держави в умовах сьогодення. Для досягнення задекларованої мети та отримання належних результатів, використано таку сукупність методів: загально-наукові методи, формально-юридичний метод, системний підхід. Результати та висновки такої діяльності. У статті зроблено аналіз питання щодо місця та ролі судової влади в Україні у побудові правової держави в умовах сьогодення. Вказано, що цілком виважено і справедливо шлях, який обрала Україна для свого майбутнього, пов’язаний з цивілізованим світом, а отже наша держава має стати дійсно демократичною, соціальною і правовою. Для цього, вочевидь, усі гілки влади, мають прикласти максимум зусиль, аби зреалізувати поставлену мету. Проаналізовано наукові підходи до розуміння правової держави, її історичні корені та сучасні підходи у розширенні змістовного наповнення, елементний склад, чинники, що сприяють позитивному поступу у формуванні сприятливого правового поля розвитку цієї царини. Підкреслено, що у контексті побудови правової держави вагома роль відводиться судовій владі, адже саме їй максимально визначено завдання щодо захисту права, недопущення порушення прав і свобод людини і громадяни, а у випадку таких порушень – негайного їх відновлення. Наголошено, що нинішній період для України є досить складним і напруженим, адже, передусім, пов’язаний з протидією зовнішньому ворогу, який намагається усіма зусиллями відібрати у нас суверенітет, незалежність, цілісність і недоторканність. Натомість підкреслено, що це є не єдиним випробуванням для нашої держави, оскільки в українському суспільстві виникає багато інших загроз та викликів, пов’язаних, зокрема, з дотриманням прав і свобод людини і громадянина. На жаль, хоча судова гілка влади намагалась здійснити певні системні трансформаційні процеси, однак досягти позитивного результату до ниніще не вдалося. Встановлено, що попри все судова гілка влади в особі її органів спрямовує свою діяльність на здійснення позитивних реформ у системі правосуддя, формування професійного, якісного суддівського ядра, позбавленого негативних якостей, відвертого потурання права, зокрема корупційної складової. Саме така позиція говорить про те, що судова влада, по суті, займає важливе місце у побудові правової держави, і, вочевидь, її роль у цьому процесі важко переоцінити.

Published: December 2024

Tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) has advantages for cultivation compared to several other freshwater fish However, the high price of fish feed causes the costs incurred by fish farmers to increase, therefore it is necessary to look for alternative feed ingredients. One of the ingredients for alternative feed that is abundant, high quality and easy to obtain is Palm Kernel Meal (PKM). The purpose of this research was to analyze the nutritional value of artificial feed made from palm kernel cake as the main ingredient fermented using EM4 with different concentrations and to analyze its effect on feed conversion, absolute weight growth and daily growth rate of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 4 replicates each. The treatments applied were unfermented palm kernel meal (P1), fermented palm kernel meal with a concentration of 4 ml/kg (P2), and fermented palm kernel meal with a concentration of 8 ml/kg (P3). The results of the proximate analysis of the feed showed that the protein content of the feed was 30.37 %, 30.17 % and 30.87 % for P1, P2 and P3 respectively. Meanwhile, the lipid content of feed P1, P2, and P3 is 3.00%, 9.04%, and 8.54% respectively. Another finding in this research was that the highest growth was produced by treatment P3 (46.33 g) and this was followed by treatments P2 (41.25 g) and P1 (36.68 g). Meanwhile, the calculation results showed that the best feed conversion ratio was produced by treatment P3 (2.13) and then followed by P2 (2.34) and P1 (2.78). An increase in feed lipid content which causes an increase in feed energy content is thought to increase the efficiency of protein use to support growth and reduce the feed conversion ratio value.

The production of aquaculture in East Kalimantan Province in 2023 was recorded at 162,124 tons. This data indicates that the need for fish feed (pellets) is also very large. Meanwhile, it is known that the price of feed continues to climb. This study aims to observe the effect of the use of palm kernel meal, as an alternative feed ingredient, which is fermented using EM4 with different doses on the activity of digestive enzymes and the growth of gourami fish weight. The doses of EM4 used were 0 mL/kg (P1), 4 mL/kg (P2), and 8 mL/kg (P3). Based on the results of the analysis of variance, it was known that the inclusion of fermented palm kernel meal significantly (P<0.05) affected activities of amylase, protease, and lipase enzymes. The highest value of digestive enzyme activity was observed in P2 which produced amylase enzyme activity of 6.31 U/mL, protease 0.46 U/mL, and lipase 0.38 U/mL, and then followed by P3 which produced amylase enzyme activity of 4.76 U/mL, protease 0.39 U/mL, and lipase 0.35 U/mL. The lowest value of activity was observed in gourami treated with P1 which produced amylase enzyme activity of 4.048 U/mL, protease 0.36 U/mL, and lipase 0.31 U/mL. Analysis of variance also showed that fermented palm kernel meal had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the weight growth of giant gourami. The highest weight gain was produced by P3 (2.16 g), then followed by P2 (1.79 g), and P1 (1.21 g). The best feed conversion was produced by P2 (2.32), followed by P3 (2.94), and P1 (3.28).

Amphilopus trimaculatus (Louhan in Indonesia) is a freshwater ornamental fish that is famous among the public because it is believed to bring good luck to its owner, so it has a fairly high selling price. Keeping flowerhorn fish requires food so that the fish can grow well. This research aims to analyze the nutritional value of artificial feed made from palm kernel meal which is fermented using EM4 for different lengths of time and to analyze its effect on the growth and feed conversion ratio of flowerhorn fish. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments applied were P1 not fermented, P2 fermented for 3 days, P3 fermented for 5 days and P4 fermented for 7 days. The fish used in this study had an initial length of 3-5 cm and an initial weight of 1.5-2 g. Fish were kept for 40 days in aquariums measuring 30×30×40 cm using a recirculation system. Each aquarium is filled with 20 liters of water with a stocking density of 10 fish/aquarium. Fish were fed 3 times a day using ad-satiation. The results of the proximate nutritional analysis of the feed showed that the protein content of the feed was 32.53%, 35.97%, 37.31% and 36.31% for P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively. The feed fat content was 6.19%, 7.26%, 6.38% and 7.44% for P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively. Data analysis was carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a confidence level of 95% and continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The best fish growth performance and feed conversion ratio were achieved by P2, although statistically there was no significant difference in fish growth (P<0.05) but had a significant effect on the feed conversion ratio (P>0.05).

Indonesia is the producer and exporter of palm oil in the world from 2008 - 2023. One of the challenges in managing plantations is pest attacks and plant diseases. The disease that is often found is fruit rot disease caused by the fungus Marasmiuspalmivorus which can reduce production by up to 25% with symptoms of fruit changing color to blackish brown, watery and rotting. One of the factors that influences the development of fruit rot disease is the microclimate (temperature and humidity) around the plant. Microclimate is closely related to plant spacing density. If the plant spacing is tight, the temperature around the plant will be lower and the humidity will be higher, which can trigger the development of fruit rot disease. The research was conducted at PT. Sumatra Jaya Agro Lestari (SJAL) 2 at a density of SPH 160 and SPH 200 which shows that disease intensity and yield loss is higher at SPH 200 where the average disease intensity is 25.13% based on the regression equation with an estimated yield loss of 14.12%. Meanwhile, SPH 160 average disease intensity was 14.33%, with an estimated yield loss of 8.28%. The t test shows that the intensity and percentage of fruit rot disease differ based on plant density.Key words: Oil palm, density, fruit rot, intensity and yield loss

Проектування безпілотних літальних апаратів здійснюється на невелике значення максимального експлуатаційного перевантаження. Їх конструкція достатньо гнучка і характеризується складним розподілом жорсткостей силових елементів та наявністю великої кількості зосереджених мас. В процесі експлуатації безпілотних літальних апаратів літакового типу на ґрунтових аеродромах, при русі, злеті і посадці виникають значні деформації та коливання планера, які суттєво навантажують конструкцію, впливають на міцність, призводять до витрати ресурсу планера та впливають на роботу обладнання. Для безпілотних літальних апаратів актуальними є питання аеропружності та динамічного навантаження конструкції в процесі експлуатації. В статті показано застосування математичного моделювання на прикладі розрахунку динаміки удару і навантаження пружного безпілотного літального апарату на посадці. Метою статті є аналіз впливу пружності конструкції планера та її динамічних характеристик (форм та частот власних коливань) і параметрів амортизації на динаміку руху механічної системи та навантаження безпілотних літальних апаратів. Надано рекомендації для застосування розрахункового методу, сформовані математичні моделі функціонування пружного безпілотного літального апарату різного рівня складності. Ці рекомендації будуть корисні для проектувальників та операторів безпілотних літальних апаратів.
The priest, the crofters, and the Uist rocket range
Authors: Bruce Neil
Published: December 2024

This study examines the relationship between land, power, and cultural identity in the Uists, focusing on the mid-twentieth century when a proposed rocket range threatened the Gaelic culture. The Rev. John Morrison, a local priest, led a media campaign to protect the community’s heritage, also commissioning a sculpture of ‘Our Lady of the Isles’ and supporting wayside shrines as symbols of resistance. These monuments embody the community’s resilience and connection to their land, preserving their unique cultural identity amid external pressures. Morrison’s efforts reflect an interplay between land ownership, government intervention, and the shaping of cultural landscapes, with the monuments serving as enduring markers of the community’s past and aspirations for the future.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, eleştirel beşeri coğrafya döneminde ölçek kavramı üzerine yapılan tartışmaları ve kavramlaştırmaları Anglo-Amerikan coğrafyacılığı kapsamında incelemektir. Ayrıca çalışma, uluslararası literatürde yaklaşık 50 yıllık bir geçmişe sahip olan ölçek kavramına ilişkin, Türkiye'deki kavramsal tartışmalara da katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır Yapılan çalışmaları üç dönemde incelemek mümkündür. 1980-1990 arası dönemde kavrama ilişkin tartışmalar ekonomi politik geleneği tarafından şekillendirilmiştir. 1990-2000'li yıllarda ise ölçeğin üretiminde ekonomi politiğin yanı sıra toplumsal yeniden üretim ve tüketim süreçlerinin etkisi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Bu dönemde, ilk dönemdeki ölçek ayrımlarına (yerel, bölgesel, ulusal ve küresel) hane ve beden de eklenmiştir. 2000'li yıllardan sonra ölçek kavramlaştırmaları daha fazla sorgulanır hale gelmiştir. Önceki dönemlerde vurgulanan hiyerarşik ölçek teorisine ek olarak aktör-ağ teorisi de ölçeğin sosyal inşasını açıklamak için kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca bu dönemde diyalektik ölçek kavramlaştırmalarını eleştiren post-yapısalcı yaklaşımı benimseyen çalışmalar da yapılmaya başlanmıştır.

An experiment was conducted in cotton growing area barind tract at Chapainawabganj during July 2021 to February 2022 for maximum benefit of cotton production with blackgram intercropping. For this experiment, a randomized complete block design with three replications were used to test the performance of six different intercroppping, including T1 = cotton + jute, T2 = cotton + blackgram, T3 = cotton + spinach, T4 = cotton + radish, T5 = cotton + okra, and T6 = sole cotton. The results revealed that the highest seed cotton 3134.40 kg ha-1 was produced in sole cotton growing field. Blackgram as an intercrop was given the highest gross return (354738 taka ha-1), net profit (214238 taka ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.52) as compared with other intercrops. Therefore, intercropping of black gram with cotton may be more economical for a good idea for farmers who grow only sole cotton in order to increase their economic return.

The study was performed at the Agricultural Research Institute D.I. Khan, during 2020 in a Randomized Complete Block Design. The study focused on screening different commercially available cotton varieties against sucking insect pests of cotton viz., whiteflies, jassids and thrips. Significant differences (P≤0.05) among various tested cultivars were observed. Results showed that whiteflies and jassids appear during ‘2 July’ and reach their peak during ‘27 August’ while pest population was decline during ’27 September’ and after ’27 September’ the pest disappears from the field. Similarly, thrips appear during ‘2 July’ and reach their peak during ‘4 September’ while pest population decline during ’27 September’ and finally disappear from the field after ’27 September’. Furthermore, the highest population of sucking pest plant-1 was recorded by CRIS-129 as followed by Cemb, Mubarak, Lalazar, Gomal 93, Bogdad and SLH-8 while lowest population was recorded from Israr Shaheed. However, the cultivar Mubarak produced maximum length and width (6.86 and 8.26 mm) while minimum length and width (4.36 and 4.76 mm) were recorded by Gomal 93. Similarly, Israr Shaheed performed in boll size (3.16 cm2). Thus, Israr Shaheed recommended as the most suitable commercial cotton cultivars for agro-climatic conditions of D.I. Khan

Published: December 2024

A field experiment was conducted at Cotton Research Farm, Gazipur in Kharif season 2017 with 100 genotypes to evaluate their genetic diversity. The results of the study showed a significant positive link between the number of bolls and seed cotton output, as well as between maturity and boll split. Cluster analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and correlation were used to categorize the major characters that account for the variation in yield contributing traits. Data were recorded at maturity, bolls plant-1, seed cotton yield, ginning outturn, fiber length and fiber strength. The first four PCs with Eigen value >1 contributed 65.15% variability among the cotton accessions. The genotypes were grouped into ten clusters through multivariate analysis. Cluster III contained a maximum number of genotypes (29) while clusters I (15), II (9), IV (23) and V (13) contained genotypes, cluster VII (4), VI, VIII and X contained genotypes (2) and cluster IX contained only 1 genotype. In all cases, the inter-cluster distances were greater than those of intra-cluster distances, which indicate a wider genetic diversity among the genotypes. Cluster I and IX had the largest inter-cluster distance (35.13), while cluster VI and VIII had the smallest (1.68)-. The results revealed a diverse and close relationship among the genotypes of those clusters. The single boll weight and days to boll split showed a higher contribution to the genetic divergence among 14 characters. Based on genetic diversity results and early-maturity, VII (BC-0451, BC-0456, BC-0491 and BC-0495), VIII (SR-16), IX (BC-0479) and X (BC-0493 and BC-0459) genotypes could be used to develop the short-term cotton variety as following the standard procedure.

The relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study of the American population
Authors: Qiu Lanlan , Wu Bo
Published: December 2024

Background

Hypertension can damage multiple target organs. The younger the age of onset of hypertension is, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular death. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complication of hypertension, but few studies have investigated the relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD.

Objective

We investigated the relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD.

Method

We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2018. A total of 30,613 participants were assigned to one of four groups. Group 1, no hypertension (n = 19,516); Group 2, age of onset <35 years (n = 2,180); Group 3, 35≤ age of onset <45 years (n = 2,128); and Group 4, age of onset ≥45 years (n = 6,789). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD.

Results

After adjusting for potential confounders, a younger age at onset of hypertension was associated with a greater risk of developing CKD compared with the absence of hypertension (Group 2 OR: 2.52, 95% CI: 1.53–4.14, P < 0.001; Group 3 OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.01–2.51, P = 0.048; Group 4 OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.00–2.38, P = 0.050).

Conclusions

There was a strong association between the age of onset of hypertension and CKD. The younger the age of onset of hypertension is, the greater the risk of CKD.

Published: December 2024

Background

Cardiovascular biomarkers are crucial for monitoring cancer therapy-related cardiac toxicity, but the effects on early stage are still inadequate. To screen biomarkers in patients with breast cancer who receive anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, we studied the behavior of six biomarkers during chemotherapy and their association with chemotherapy-related cardiac toxicity.

Methods

In a prospective cohort of 73 patients treated with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme MB, and heart-fatty acid binding protein were measured at baseline, during chemotherapy cycle (C1–C6). According to whether arrhythmia occurred, patients were divided into two groups (healthy group or arrhythmias group), and basic clinical characteristics were collected and compared. Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were conducted to investigate the association between the changes in biomarkers and arrhythmia.

Results

sST2 levels increased significantly from baseline to C1 (P < 0.01). NT-proBNP levels decreased from baseline to C1 and C5 (P < 0.01). The logistic regression analysis showed a greater risk of arrhythmia was associated with interval changes in sST2 [odds ratio (OR): 1.27; 95% CI: 1.03–1.56; P = 0.024] and NT-proBNP (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.70–0.98; P = 0.029). The ROC curves showed that ΔsST2, ΔNT-proBNP, and ΔsST2 + ΔNT-proBNP had good predictive value for arrhythmia (areas under the curves were 0.631, 0.633, and 0.735, respectively, P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Early changes in sST2 and NT-proBNP levels offer additive information for early arrhythmia prediction in breast cancer patients who receive anthracycline-containing chemotherapy.
Elevated systemic immune-inflammatory index predicts poor coronary collateralization in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic total occlusion
Authors: Mao Lin Shuang , Wang Yi Xuan , Wu Zhi Ming , Ding Feng Hua , Lu Lin , Shen Wei Feng , Dai Yang , Shen Ying
Published: December 2024

Objective

This study compared the value of different systemic immune-inflammatory markers for evaluating coronary collateralization (CC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic total occlusion (CTO).

Methods

Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inﬂammation response index (SIRI) and pan-immune-inﬂammation value (PIV) were calculated at admission in 1409 T2DM patients with CTO. The degree of coronary collaterals was estimated using the Rentrop scoring system and categorized into poor (Rentrop score 0 or 1) or good (Rentrop score 2 or 3) CC. The predictors of poor CC were determined by multivariate regression analysis, and the diagnostic potential of these indexes was analyzed by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results

SII, SIRI and PIV levels increased stepwise across Rentrop score 0–3, with significantly higher levels in patients with poor CC than in those with good CC (P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounders, SII, SIRI and PIV (per tertile) remained independent factors for poor CC. SII predicted poor CC better than SIRI and PIV (AUC: 0.758 vs. 0.680 and 0.698, all P < 0.001). There existed an interaction between blood concentration of HbA1c and SII (P < 0.001), with high SII levels being associated with a greater risk (OR: 5.058 vs. 2.444) and providing a better predictive ability for poor CC (AUC: 0.817 vs. 0.731) in patients with HbA1c < 6.5% compared to those with HbA1c ≥ 6.5%.

Conclusion

Our study shows that elevated SII provides a better prediction for poor CC in T2DM patients with CTO especially at good glycemic control.
