Spectrality of a class of Moran measures on with consecutive digit sets
Authors: Chen Si , Li Qian
Published: April 2022

Let
$\{R_{k}\}_{k=1}^{\infty }$
be a sequence of expanding integer matrices in
$M_{n}(\mathbb {Z})$
, and let
$\{D_{k}\}_{k=1}^{\infty }$
be a sequence of finite digit sets with integer vectors in
${\mathbb Z}^{n}$
. In this paper, we prove that under certain conditions in terms of
$(R_{k},D_{k})$
for
$k\ge 1$
, the Moran measure
$$ \begin{align*} \mu_{\{R_{k}\},\{D_{k}\}}:=\delta_{R_{1}^{-1}D_{1}}\ast\delta_{R_{1}^{-1}R_{2}^{-1}D_{2}}\ast\cdots \end{align*} $$
is a spectral measure. For the converse, we get a necessity condition for the admissible pair
$(R,D)$

\forall i\in\mathbb{N}_0 \colon v(i+m) = s_{m - 1}\sigma^{k_{m-1}}(v(i+m-1))+\ldots+s_1\sigma^{k_1}(v(i+1)) + s_0\sigma^{k_0}(v(i)),
$$
где $s_0,\ldots,s_{m-1 }\in S, k_{0},\ldots, k_{m-1}\in \mathbb{N}_{0}$. Такие последовательности названы $\sigma$-разделимыми скрученными линейными рекуррентными последовательностями (ЛРП). Максимально возможный период последовательности такого вида равен $(q^{mn}-1)p^{d-1}$. Получены необходимые условия максимальности периода $\sigma$-разделимых ЛРП. Для $\sigma$-разделимых ЛРП максимального периода при некоторых ограничениях доказана принадлежность к классу нелинеаризуемых ЛРП и исследованы такие алгебраические характеристики, как ранг и единственность минимального многочлена.

Authors: N. Mayeden Raphael , Dzefi-Tettey Klenam , O. Botwe Benard
Published: April 2022

Tumour thrombus is the presence of tumour cells in great vessels. The reported incidence of tumour thrombus in thyroid carcinoma is about 0.2-3.8%. Being asymptomatic, detection of tumour thrombosis clinically is difficult. We present the report of internal jugular vein (IJV) tumour thrombosis in a known follicular thyroid carcinoma patient, detected with multimodality imaging. Grayscale ultrasound scan of the neck showed a well-defined, bi-lobed (2.4 x 1.5) cm, intraluminal solid lesion with homogeneous echotexture within the distal left IJV close to its confluence with the ipsilateral subclavian vein. The lesion showed significant internal vascularity on colour Doppler assessment. The sonographic findings confirmed further imaging with computed tomography (CT) and radioisotope scans. We con-clude that patients with thyroid cancer should be evaluated for tumour thrombosis both clinically and with imaging, particularly with ultrasound and CT/MRI or nuclear medicine, as it has prognostic implications.
The challenges and complications of re-implantation of the penis following amputation
Authors: De Moumita , Dawar Rakesh
Published: April 2022

Amputation of the penis is a rare and devastating injury. The etiologies vary from accidental, self-inflicted to attacks due to sexual jealousy and revenge. In the present era of microvascular surgery, replantation is the standard care. However, replantation of the penis comes with its own set of difficulties and complications. Knowledge of the anatomy and prior knowledge of the possible complications makes the surgeon aware of the course of events after a replantation. It helps in devising strategies to overcome these challenges methodically. We present a case of penile replant with the complications that we encountered, and the measures are taken to counter them on our way to a successful outcome.

Published: April 2022

The car accident injury level is known to be a result of a complex interaction of factors to drivers’ behavior, vehicle characteristics, and environmental condition. Therefore, it is obvious that identifying the contribution of the factors to the accident injury is very critical. The objective of the study was to perform a descriptive analysis to see the characteristics of car accidents, and to assess the prevalence and determinants of road safety practices in Mekelle City, Tigray, Ethiopia. A random sample of data was extracted from the traffic police office from September 2014 to July 2017. An ordered logistic regression model was used to examine factors that worsen the car accident level. A total sample of 385 car accidents was considered in the study of which 56.7% were fatal, 28.6% serious, and 14.7% slight injury. The model estimation result showed that being experienced drivers (Coef. = 0.686; p-value< = 0.050) were found to increase the level of injury. On the other hand, being private vehicle (Coef. = -1.160; p-value <= 0.010), the type of accident of vehicle with pedestrian (Coef. = -2.852; p-value <= 0.010), being heavy truck (Coef. = -0.656; p-value <= 0.050), being a cross country bus (Coef. = -0.889; p-value <= 0.050) and being owner of vehicle is the driver himself (Coef. = -.690, p-value <= 0.050) were found to decrease the level of car accident injury severity. In conclusion, it is better to create continued awareness for those who are experienced drivers, who carelessly follow the traffic rules. Special attention is required for government-owned vehicle drivers, as they were found to increase the level of car accident injury through different short-term training.
Analysis of the Relationship between Public Schools Distribution and Population in Kaduna State, Nigeria
Authors: Cyril Kanayochukwu Ezeamaka
Published: April 2022

The paper was aimed at examining the relationship between the distribution of public primary and secondary schools and the population in Kaduna State. The study used GPS Map 78 to ascertain the location of the schools through field observation. The student population was obtained from the headteacher while the population was obtained from the projected 2006 census figure. A multistage sampling method was adopted to select nine LGAs within the three senatorial zones of the state.  Descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (v25), Spearman Rank Correlation, and Pearson Correlation was used for data analysis. The 1907 public schools (1634 public primary and 273 secondary schools) were found. The result revealed that the overall Location Quotient (LQ) value for all public schools (primary, junior and secondary schools) is 1.14 which represents a moderate concentration of public schools. The result showed that Kaduna South LGA has the least LQ (0.23) and is closely followed by Zaria LGA (0.56), while Kajuru LGA has the most concentration of schools with an LQ of 2.2. The result also revealed that LQ for Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) value varies from (1.9) in Kagarko LGA, having the highest concentration of JSS and to 0.5 in Jemaá LGA The Spearman Rank Correlation with the coefficient of 0.188 revealed a weak positive relationship between the provision of public schools and students’ population while Pearson Correlation established a negative relationship between the distribution of public schools and general population with the coefficient of -0.19. The study concluded that there is no relationship between the population and distribution of public schools in Kaduna State.

IntroductionLittle is known about specific bacterial characteristics of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection influencing gastric carcinogenesis in Zambia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between pre-selected H. pylori antibodies with gastric cancer, premalignant lesions and active gastritis. MethodsThis was cross-sectional study with multiple comparisons of patients with gastric cancer (GC), gastric premalignant (GP) lesions and active or chronic gastritis. A fluorescent bead-based antibody multiplex serology assay was used to quantify antibodies to thirteen immunogenic H. pylori antigens. Logistic regression models were used to examine the associations.ResultsIncluded were 295 patients with: 59 GC, 27 GP lesions, 48 active and 161 chronic gastritis. Overall, 257/295 (87%) were H. pylori positive. H. pylori seropositivity was not associated with sex, age, body mass index, socio-economic status, HIV infection, alcohol consumption or cigarette smoking (p-values all above 0.05). When compared to the patients with chronic gastritis, the presence of catalase and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (Cad) antibodies was positively associated with GP lesions (OR 3.53; 95% CI 1.52-8.17 and OR 2.47; 95% CI 1.08-5.67 respectively). However, seropositivity to Cad antibodies was significantly lower in GC patients (OR 0.28; 95% CI 0.09-0.83). Compared to chronic, active gastritis was significantly associated with (p<0.05) H. pylori sero-positivity (OR 9.46; 95% CI 1.25-71.52) and specific antibodies including cytotoxin-associated gene A, vacuolating cytotoxin A, Helicobacter cysteine-rich protein C, hypothetical protein HP0305 and outer membrane protein HP1564. ConclusionsAmong Zambian patients seen at a single center, antibodies to H. pylori (CagA, VacA, Omp, HcpC, HP0305 and HpaA) were associated with active gastritis.
Farming and stock-breeding in the La Tène culture communities in Poland
Authors: Dulęba Przemysław , Abłamowicz Renata , Sady-Bugajska Agata , Soida Jacek
Published: April 2022

In this article, the basic information on the research on the economy of the La Tène culture communities living in the southern part of Poland in the early and middle La Tène period is presented. The analysis of natural data shows that the local economy of the Celtic settlers from Silesia and Lesser Poland did not differ in quality from that of their countrymen from the area south of the Carpathians and the Sudetes. Agriculture was based on the cultivation of cereals, among which different varieties of wheat dominated with a relatively small share of barley and common millet. Contrary to earlier opinions, rye and oat cultivation was not widespread. In typical rural settlements, cattle farming was by far the dominant activity. Breeding swine and small ruminants were in the second position, but the proportion between these species varied from region to region. The very small proportion of wild animal bones known from the surveyed settlements indicates an advanced process of deforestation of the inhabited area and well-developed domestic animal husbandry.
Respuesta de varios genotipos de habichuelas al hongo Macrophomina phaseolina en parcelas inoculadas y sin inocular
Authors: Rodrigo Echávez-Badel  , James S. Beaver
Published: April 2022

En la costa suroeste semiárida de Puerto Rico se probaron 40 genotipos de habichuela seca para determinar en parcelas experimentales el efecto de la inoculación con los residuos de cosecha de habichuela que estuvieron altamente infectados con Macrophomina phaseolina. Los análisis de varianza indicaron que hubo diferencias significativas entre los índices de severidad en los genotipos probados. La pudrición gris del tallo aumentó aproximadamente 40% entre las fases de la formación de la vaina y la madurez fisiológica. Hubo una relación altamente significativa (r=0.66**) en la severidad de la enfermedad cuando se midió a los 70 y 90 días después de sembrar. Entre los 40 genotipos de habichuela evaluados, Cuarentena y RIZ 44 mostraron altos grados de susceptibilidad; 8437-22 fue el genotipo más resistente a M. phaseolina.

Lei e fé: a possibilidade jurídica de anulação do dízimo e da oferta à luz do valor-princípio da fraternidade
Authors: Castagna Fabiano Pires , Oliveira Vinícius de
Published: April 2022

Pretende-se com esta pesquisa analisar a possibilidade de anulação dos dízimos e das ofertas entregues por fiéis a entidades religiosas, mediante o reconhecimento de tais institutos como doação. Iniciou-se o estudo com a análise do princípio da fraternidade, bem como dos direitos fundamentais à liberdade religiosa e de culto, pontuando seus principais elementos. Passou-se à análise do instituto da doação e dos dispositivos legais que o fundamentam, bem como dos conceitos bíblicos de dízimo e oferta, analisando a possibilidade de equiparação destes à doação. Ao final, estudou-se a possibilidade de anulação dos dízimos e ofertas, mediante análise das nulidades concernentes à doação. Considerada essa possibilidade, esclareceu-se as consequências de tal imputação, que deve sempre pautar-se no valor-princípio da fraternidade, que promove, graças a sua dimensão relacional, o equilíbrio entre o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana e o direito à liberdade religiosa no trato justo da questão do dízimo e da oferta, de forma a respeitar a história e a importância que este instituto detém para as religiões cristãs e, simultaneamente, coibir os abusos que por vezes ocorrem.

Published: April 2022

RESUMOO tema do ecumenismo é importante quando o tema é o diálogo entre igrejas cristãs. Seu significado foi ganhando maior abrangência na medida em que a fé cristã se viu diante de outras manifestações religiosas, ganhando assim dimensões macroecumênicas. Agora o desafio é viver de forma ecumênica em um novo espaço frequentado pelas igrejas e seus fiéis, o ciberespaço. Frente a isso, levanta-se a pergunta sobre a hermenêutica ecumênica como uma ferramenta para facilitar e diálogo no mundo da web.Palavras-chave: ecumenismo; hermenêutica ecumênica; ciberteologia;
Disillusionment and American Dream in Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald s Great Gatsby
Authors: KARA Gökçen
Published: April 2022

The ‘American Dream’ and its relationship to American literature has long been a subject
of extensive research. This article strives to portray the ‘American Dream’ in Fitzgerald’s
The Great Gatsby. The ‘American Dream’ represents the idea that people can achieve
anything if they follow their dreams. Fitzgerald paints a picture of the people of the Jazz
Age who are driven by their passion for wealth and possessions. The ideals and hopes
behind the ‘American Dream’ are illustrated in the novel through hopelessness, as the
characters lose themselves in an illusion when they see it as an ideal. F. Scott Fitzgerald
explores the influence of the ‘American Dream’ on his characters in each of his stories. In
this vein, the article attempts to show how the ‘American Dream’ is seen in the context
of American history and culture. This novel provides an excellent background for later
research and a foundation for describing stories that come from Jazz Age culture

For Kazakhstan, the development of local self-government is a very relevant issue. This is due to general economic situation in the country, and the system of public administration. Therefore, the State, as well as scientific community, constantly pays attention to the socioeconomic condition and infrastructure of rural areas. Methods – historical and logical analysis, comparisons and generalizations. Results – it is shown that one of the important issues is the lack of clear and actually defined functions and powers at the lower levels of government. Based on the study of the experience of local government abroad, it was determined that in solving socio-economic issues it is necessary to endow local governments with sufficient rights and powers. The authors state that the government policy in the field of management at different levels requires the development of a system of local self-government, which must be considered as a method or tool for rational public administration. It is justified that the more powers are exercised, taking into account local conditions and opportunities, the more comprehensively they will meet the interests of the population and management will be more effective. Conclusions – since the republican, regional and district budgets are an integral part of the general state budget, the distribution of income sources between them should be optimal, and rational. It is also necessary that financial instruments ensure the reduction of interbudgetary flows.

The goal is to show the importance and consider the current state of agricultural production in personal subsidiary plots of the Damsinsky rural district of Akmola region. Methods – system-structural and system-functional approaches to the study of agricultural production in the households of the district, which requires the use of various methods of scientific analysis: comparative, statistical, mathematical and economic, etc. Results – the authors studied and assessed the structure of the natural and physical capital of this rural region. Also, for a complete assessment of the current state of the main performance indicators, an analysis of the income structure of these farms for the current year is given. The authors determined the degree of uniformity (not uniformity) of the distribution of agricultural land and livestock. Conclusions – the study showed that the majority of private subsidiary farms in the Damsinsky rural district of the Akmola region are either engaged in agricultural production to a small extent or produce agricultural products only for their own consumption and belong to the category of "nonmarketable" household plots. The low level of development of their marketability is determined by such factors as high cost of fodder, lack of independent fodder harvesting, lack of pasture lands around settlements and the high level of their degradation today.

Grain cluster – is an organizational form of consolidation of the efforts of stakeholders, ensuring the competitiveness of the region. The goal is to determine ways to improve the cluster organization of interaction, which is due to the fact that as part of the cluster, the consolidation of the efforts of enterprises aimed to achieve production and economic results reaches the highest level. Methods – comparative, system analysis, statistical and economic, logical generalization. Results – the most important part of economic relations of the cluster is the mechanism of distribution relations, which occurs in the process of the exchange of intermediate products, resources and services, the distribution of income from the sale of final products on foreign market. The functioning of the distribution system ensures the parity of interests of the cluster members, based on the fact that in the grain cluster, income from the sale of manufactured products is distributed along the technological chain based on prices and tariffs, through centralized funds created by the cluster members. Conclusions – grain product cluster has a clear organizational structure, the most important part of which is the mechanism of distribution relations that arises during the exchange of intermediate products, resources and services, and distribution of income. The transport and logistics infrastructure is necessary to ensure the movement of products within the cluster and beyond it with the least material costs and losses in physical terms. The core of grain cluster should be enterprises engaged in production, grain storage and processing. Another part of it is processors: flour mills, feed mills and bakeries, pasta factories. The formation of clusters must be linked to the pricing mechanism in order to ensure equal efficiency for all participants.

The goal is to identify the features and prospects for production of dietary meat in Kazakhstan, to reveal the problems that constrain it. Methods – statistical, sociological research, analytical. Results – the development of poultry and rabbit breeding industries is shown. Additional opportunities for expanding the dietary meat market are analyzed: growing ostriches, quails, turkeys, etc. The paper assesses the export and import of poultry meat and by-products, the dynamics of poultry farming indicators over a number of years. A comparative analysis of the efficiency of breeding cattle and ostriches has been carried out. The reasons hindering the expansion of production of dietary meat are summarized: competitive advantages of producing countries in CIS and abroad; historically developed mentality of the population; low level of advertizing; lack of veterinary certification for ostrich and rabbit meat, bird flu; insignificant interest from investors. Conclusions – there is a need for effective public support for the development of the industry on the basis of concessional lending to entrepreneurship, tax exemption for enterprises during the formation of this type of business, public assistance in the field of product certification; support for R&D by investor to empower the industry; its modernization, equipping with the latest equipment, improving technologies for obtaining environmentally friendly organic products. The production of dietary meat is economically profitable and has the potential for its comprehensive distribution on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Authors:   Kazakh National Agrarian Research University, A25D4T6 8 Abay Ave., Almaty, Kazakhstan, Mukhametov A. Ye.
Published: April 2022

Mayonnaise is a product that exists for over 100 years and is one of the most beloved sauces in the world. The relevant trend in production of mayonnaise for human health is the decrease of the amount of fat, a balance in their composition, vegetarianism. The goal is to investigate and analyze production and consumption of mayonnaise products in Kazakhstan. Methods – comparative and system analysis, statistical and economic, logical generalization. Results – the main feature of mayonnaise market is the independent supply of the need for this product in most countries. The share of the world imports of mayonnaise is 8% and tends to decrease. There has been no pronounced trend in Kazakhstani mayonnaise market in recent years. In 2019 the volume of domestic market for these products was estimated at 70.6 thousand tons. The recorded rate of decline in mayonnaise market volume in the republic per year was 9%. During the period under review, mayonnaise exports grew by 19% in physical terms and by 23% in terms of value. Conclusions – despite the trends in a healthy lifestyle and the economic crisis which is associated with the spread of coronavirus infection in 2020, the level of consumption of mayonnaise not only remains high, but also increases. In case if there will be further increase of domestic production in the coming years, export sales will grow, while imports will presumably decline.

The development of a methodology for the assessment of perennial plantations in Kazakhstan is a complex problem, and it has not yet been approved. The purpose of the article is determined by the statistical data of the significance of the assessment of perennial plantations. The following methods were used in the study: empirical, theoretical and general science (observation, deductive method, analysis, synthesis, induction, classification). Results – the authors state that the current plantations do not fully provide the population with fruits, so it is important to know their condition when converting agricultural land to perennial plantations. Having studied the climatic, soil conditions, knowing the price, condition of the land, it is necessary to improve the methods of planting perennial plantations in all regions of the country. Conclusions – the conducted studies made it possible to determine the long-term effectiveness of perennial plantations based on a cadastral assessment, and in terms of market conditions the competitiveness and productivity of existing plantations can be determined by economic methods.

It is important to unite the efforts of agricultural producers to protect their interests, share land, machinery, equipment and provide basic production means. Methods – analytical, economic-statistical, monographic, calculation-constructive. Results – assessment of the current state of agricultural cooperatives in the republic and Almaty region, their development trends was carried out. The dynamics of growth and reduction of their number in the context of the regions of the republic and districts of Almaty region is presented. Also the number of livestock, the volume of agricultural production are shown from 2017 to 2021. The main reasons hindering their development have been studied; potential opportunities and priority directions for strengthening agricultural cooperatives have been identified. Conclusions – on the basis of the obtained data, the solution of the existing problems of agriculture and agro-industrial complex as a whole is justified. Among the necessary measures, we include the unification of small peasant, private farms and households, which will contribute to the efficient use of land, production, labor and other agricultural resources. It is also important to develop infrastructure in the countryside, the system for promoting products "from the field to the counter". The special role of cooperating small forms of business lies in the prospects for increasing the incomes of the rural population, which is a priority of socio-economic policy of the state and one of the tasks of the National Project on Development of AIC RK for 2021-2025.

Свердловский завод №10 «Русские самоцветы», наследник традиций императорской Екатеринбургской гранильной фабрики, перешел в ведение Советского государства в первые месяцы советской власти. В период 1920–1960-х предприятие неоднократно меняло ведомственное подчинение, что во многом накладывало отпечаток как на объемы производства, так и на их художественную составляющую. В середине 1960-х завод перешел из подчинения «местным» наркоматам в управление сначала Росювелирпрома (1965), затем Главювелирпрома (1966), что повлияло не только на управление предприятием, но и на утверждение новых моделей камнерезных произведений. В статье на основе архивных данных представлена специфика взаимоотношений свердловского завода «Русские самоцветы» с Главювелирпромом, раскрыт характер утверждения собственных заводских моделей и исполнения «спущенных сверху» проектов, разработанных ВНИИЮвелирпромом.

Sverdlovsk Factory No. 10 “Russkiye Samotsvety” (Russian Precious Gems), the heir to the traditions of the Imperial Yekaterinburg Lapidary Factory, came under the jurisdiction of the Soviet state in the first months of Soviet power. In the period of the 1920s – 1960s, the enterprise repeatedly changed departmental subordination, which largely left its mark on both production volumes and their artistic component. In the mid-1960s, the factory was transferred from subordination to the “local” people's commissariats to the management of first Rosyuvelirprom (1965), then Glavyuvelirprom (1966), which affected not only the management of the enterprise, but also the specifics of approving new models of stone-cutting works. The article, based on archival data, present the specifics of the relationship between the Sverdlovsk factory “Russkiye Samotsvety” and Glavyuvelirprom, reveal the nature of the approval of their own factory models and the execution of “lowered from above” projects developed by VNIIIYuvelirprom.
The mythology of socialist realism: a politicized construction or a return to the origins?
Authors: Фотиева И.В.
Published: April 2022

В статье анализируются различные точки зрения на мифологию как таковую и на мифологический комплекс, лежащий в основании направления социалистического реализма в изобразительном искусстве. Утверждается, что квазирелигиозный характер доктрины социализма породил множество пересечений с мифологиями древних культур в представлениях о борьбе добра и зла и наступлении «золотого века» (светлого будущего); в образах героев и богов. При этом подчеркивается, что эти образы и представления, как и древняя мифология в целом, сегодня получают новое истолкование как отражение неких бытийных закономерностей, в связи с уходом от узко-материалистической картины мира. Соответственно, утверждается конструктивный и жизнеутверждающий характер лучших произведений, созданных в направлении социалистического реализма.

The article analyzes different points of view on mythology as such and on the mythological complex underlying the direction of socialist realism in the visual arts. It is argued that the quasi-religious nature of the doctrine of socialism gave rise to many intersections with the mythologies of ancient cultures in ideas about the struggle between good and evil and the onset of the “golden age” (bright future); in the images of heroes and gods. At the same time, it is emphasized that these images and ideas, as well as ancient mythology as a whole, today receive a new interpretation as a reflection of certain existential patterns, in connection with the departure from the narrowly materialistic picture of the world. Accordingly, the constructive and life-affirming nature of the best works created in the direction of socialist realism is affirmed.

This study aimed to examine the effect of different media - Murashige Skoog (MS) and Gamborg (B5) on the growth and development of in vitro seedling cultures of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The effects were evaluated through the measurement of root and shoot length, fresh and dry mass, as well as through the determination of the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids). The obtained data indicate that MS has better effects on the growth and development of wheat seedlings, since longer shoot length, and better fresh weight were observed on seedlings from this type of media. Additionally, higher chlorophyll b concentration and lower carotenoid concentration were measured in wheat leaves grown on MS medium. It can be concluded that MS is more suitable for establishing the initial in vitro culture of wheat compared to the B5 medium.

In addition to the main ingredients, ethanol and water, fruit brandies contain a small amount of a large number of secondary ingredients, which give these drinks specific organoleptic characteristics. Among these ingredients, there are also those that are harmful and undesirable, so the goal of the producer is to reduce their content as much as possible. In order to examine the quality of brandy, a chemical analysis and sensory evaluation of brandy obtained from different fruit species were performed. The content of ethanol and other parameters was within the limits expected for the tested brandies, and in accordance with the applicable law.

For applications as an engineering material, the ability to design properties is of special importance, ie. structuring materials that can be achieved on several levels and in different ways. One of the goals of this research is the development of procedures that would enable the production of silicone polymer nets with improved mechanical, elastic and thermal properties. These materials mainly relate to the dimethylsiloxane structure, which is known for its biocompatibility, in polymeric states. FTIR spectroscopy was used to confirm the presumed mechanism of the siloxane crosslinking reaction. The aim was to further elucidate the mechanism of interaction of silicone materials based on the obtained results of the analysis of mechanical properties of silicone nanocomposites.

The Flora of Türkiye is very rich in the members of the Lamiaceae family. This study, it was aimed to investigate some physical characteristics, viability, germination performance of their seeds, and initial seedling development of 16 taxa belonging to the Lamiaceae family collected from the natural area. According to the results, the highest and lowest viability value was recorded in S. aethiopis (82.86%) and in S.yosgadensis (10.71%), respectively. The root length values of the taxa changed between 25.57mm (T.sipyleus)-66.82mm (S.aethiopis) at the end of the 21st day. The shoot lengths of the seedlings were determined to vary between 3.12mm (T.sipyleus)-22.41 mm (P.armeniaca). The seed width and length values of taxa varied between 0.911-2.788mm and 0.999-5.055mm, respectively. Values varying between 0.432-0.865 were calculated according to the geometric properties determined by proportioning the width and length dimensions of the seeds. The obtained results will be useful for studies on the cultivation of these taxa.

COVID-19 pandemic has brought serious detriments of many aspects worldwide. Negative impacts on the economy, social life, and humanity are critical, and history will still refer to this period as a dark picture of all humanity. The complicated and unpredictable changes of the epidemic forced all countries to find ways and use all resources to respond. However, along with new strains, the evolution of the disease is becoming more and more sophisticated. A complete end to this epidemic may not be possible. Therefore, people worldwide have determined to live with COVID-19 and adapt to the situation. Vietnam is no exception to this trend. Since the epidemic broke out in early 2020, the Vietnamese Government has built many solutions to deal with it. If these measures are effective, people must voluntarily and unanimously follow them. The tool that helps propagate and convince people, as well as a channel for people to give their feedback, opinions to policymakers for adjustments and more in line with reality, is through political communication. The article will analyse this communication in Vietnam in both directions, from the Government down to the people and vice versa, in the fight against COVID-19 in this country. The article is divided into three main parts: the first part will provide definitions and concepts related to political communication. The second part gives an overview of the activities and effects of political communication in the fight against the epidemic. The final section will concentrate on comments on this communication in Vietnam.

One of challenges facing urban mangers especially in the developing countries deals with their inability to meet the water needs of the ever increasing population of its urban dwellers. The present study examined the challenges militating against effective water delivery to residents among public water supply agencies in Port Harcourt municipality. The non-probability sampling technique was used to select five (5) out of the twenty (20) neighborhoods in the study area. This sampling strategy ensured the deliberate inclusion of the planned areas of the municipality (Main Town, Diobu (Miles 1, 2 and 3), and Oromineke Layout, which are expected to still bear the footprint of past (colonial) planning for water delivery, and at least one of the old indigenous enclaves now being transformed into modern residential neighborhoods.Finding revealed that the challenges of public water supply in Port Harcourt municipality is not due to the absence of institutional framework, but low investment towards water infrastructural development, a situation that has led to dilapidation of existing water facilities in the municipality.Among the challenges militating the provision of water by public water supply agenciesin Port Harcourt include: inadequate investment/funding , vandalism /encroachment on water rights –of- way , and lack of political will. Others are Indiscriminate sitting of water projects , Lack of state owned laboratory for water testing, and issues relating to sustainability
