Introduction: Muscle fatigue is recognized as one of the causes of injury in sports. Recovery methods are frequently used by sports teams. However, research into the effectiveness of such methods remains limited. Methods: Eleven recreational athletes participated. The study lasted four weeks; the first was dedicated to familiarization, and the last three weeks were to follow-up. Volunteers performed bout of 100 drop jumps, followed by intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), cold water immersion (CWI), or passive recovery; each method performed in a different week. Variables included were triple horizontal jump (THJ), serum creatine kinase (CK), and muscle soreness; and were registered before, 24, 48, and 72 hours after exercise. Results: Although muscle soreness normalized after 48 hours with the IPC (p = 0.18), it remained altered after 72 hours with the CWI and passive recovery (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01, respectively). With regards to the CK, normalization was observed within 48 hours of CWI (p = 0.31), while the IPC and passive resulted in normalization after 72 hours (p = 0.14 and p = 0.22, respectively). In relation to the THJ, normalization was observed within 48 hours of CWI (p = 0.25), 72 hours after the passive method (p = 0.21), and showed late reduction with IPC, after 72 hours (p = 0.01). Conclusion: objective variables demonstrated better results with the use of CWI.

How to distinguish white dwarf and neutron star X-ray binaries during their X-ray outbursts?
Authors: Titarchuk Lev , Seifina Elena
Published: June 2024

We present spectral signatures of neutron stars (NSs) and white dwarfs (WDs) hosted in accreting X-ray binaries that can be easily identified in X-ray observations. We perform spectral and timing analysis of 4U 1636–53 and SS Cygni, as typical representatives of such NS and WD binaries, based on their X-ray observations by RXTE, ASCA, Suzaku and BeppoSAX. As a result, we formulate a criterion that makes it easy to distinguish NS from WD in such binaries: NS X-rays exhibits quasi-stable behavior with the index Γ → 2 and is characterized by quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) at 𝜈𝑄𝑃𝑂 > 0.5 Hz, although WD X-rays is stable with Γ → 1.85 and is accompanied by QPOs at 𝜈𝑄𝑃𝑂 < 0.05 Hz during source outbursts. In addition, we revealed that in 4U 1636–53 the mHz QPOs anti-correlate with the temperature, 𝑇𝑒 of the corona around a NS. This allowed us to associate mHz-QPOs with the corona dynamics during outburst cycle. The above index effect, now well established for 4U 1636–53 and SS Cygni using extensive observations, has previously been found in other low-mass X-ray NS and WD binaries and agrees well with the criterion for distinguishing NSs and WDs presented here.

Objective: Some age-related testicular changes, such as Sertoli cell vacuolization and blood–testis barrier breakdown, reduce total sperm production and male fertility. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of vitamin E on restoring testicular function in aged mice. Sperm cryo-resistance was also assessed. Methods: Twenty-eight 48-week-old male Naval Medical Research Institute mice were divided into four groups for a daily gavage of vitamin E: the control group received distilled water, while the three treatment groups were administered 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, respectively, for 4 weeks. Subsequently, semen analyses, DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and protamine deficiency tests were conducted. Testicular histology, tissue antioxidant enzyme activity, and gene expression levels were also assessed.Results: The two higher dosages of vitamin E were associated with a higher sperm count, greater progressive motility, and improved sperm morphology (p<0.05). These benefits were also evident after sperm freezing (p<0.05). Although chromatin abnormalities increased following vitrification, the treatment groups showed better outcomes (p<0.05). The tubular diameter, epithelium height, and luminal diameters remained unchanged with age. The tissue antioxidant capacity was greater in the groups receiving the high doses of vitamin E. Additionally, significant increases in inhibitor of DNA binding protein-4 (Id4) and GDNF family receptor alpha-1 (Gfra1) expression were observed in the higher vitamin E dosage groups, and promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein (Plzf) expression was notably present in the 400 mg/kg treatment group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Antioxidant supplementation might enhance reproductive outcomes in aging males. The observed effects included improved sperm cryo-resistance, which is advantageous for future applications such as sperm freezing or fertility preservation.

Authors: Kaczmarski Peter
Published: June 2024

Web communication technology forms today a crucial component of web- and cloud-based information processing. One of the key approaches in this area is REST (Fielding, 2000), which today coexists with other technologies, in particular GraphQL and gRPC. In this paper we focus on implementing REST-based web communication components using the latest version of C#/.NET SDK (.NET 8 LTS, released on 14.11.2023). In the first part, we discuss the concept of a RESTful network architecture and summarize the features which allow to define the communication style as RESTful. Next sections focus on C# implementation patterns specific for .NET such as minimal Web API and API controllers. Finally, a standardized approach for web API implementation in .NET based on Clean Architecture is discussed and tested. One of the main conclusions from this work is that the latest version of C#/.NET provides an attractive toolset for development of RESTful communication architectures, as it allows for efficient and well-structured implementation.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Over half of childhood tuberculosis (TB) remains undiagnosed yearly. TB culture is often unavailable. WHO recommends Xpert-Ultra as first test for diagnosis of paediatric TB, but microbiological confirmation remains low and often requires invasive procedures. We aimed to determine the utility of Xpert-Ultra in stools and urine samples to diagnose TB in children living with HIV (CLWH) in two high-TB burden settings.

METHODS
This cross-sectional multicentric study took place at Simão Mendes hospital, Guinea-Bissau, from July 2019 to April 2020, and in Malakal hospitals, South Sudan, from November 2019 to June 2023. Children 6 months to 15 years with suspected TB underwent clinical and laboratory assessment, with one respiratory or extrapulmonary sample (gold standard (GS)), one stool and one urine specimen per patient analysed with Xpert-Ultra.

RESULTS
A total of 93 HIV-positive children were enrolled from Bissau (n=57) and Malakal (n=36), with 49 (53%) females and median (IQR) age of 3.3 (1.5-10) years. Three-quarters of children had severe acute malnutrition (SAM). A total of 72 (77%) children were on ART at baseline and 26/77 (34%) had CD4 count <200cells/mm3. Confirmation of TB was achieved in 20 (22%); 51 (55%) had unconfirmed TB, and 22 (24%) had unlikely TB. Of 93 children with GS diagnosis, the overall yield of positive TB results was 22% (20/93): 10% (9/90) in pulmonary samples and 20% (1/5) in extrapulmonary samples. A total of 86 and 91 samples were used to evaluate Xpert-Ultra on stools and urine, respectively. Compared to GS, sensitivity and specificity on stools were 87.5% (95%CI:52.9-97.8) and 100% (95%CI: 95.3-100), whereas on urine were 30% (95%CI:10.8-60.3) and 100% (95%CI:95.5-100), respectively. No patients were positive in stools or urine and negative with GS.

CONCLUSIONS
Xpert-Ultra in stools showed high sensitivity and specificity in HIV-infected children when compared to gold standard. Sensitivity of urine was low, but more research is needed to determine its clinical indication.
LONG TERM OPTICAL VARIABILITY OF TWO HMXB
Authors: M. R. Nesci,
Published: June 2024

We discuss the optical light curves of two Be X-ray Binaries, IGR J06074+2205 and SAX J2103.5+4545, recovered from the ATLAS, ZTF and ASAS-SN databases. Both sources show long term optical variability of 620 and 420 days, respectively, with color redder when brighter. We suggest that this is due to the precession of the circumstellar disk. Another possibility is the propagation of a density wave in the disk. Only these two sources show a large amplitude, periodic optical variability from a sample of 16 well-studied high-mass X-ray Binaries (HMXB) with a Main Sequence primary star.

Published: June 2024

Frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz are promising ranges for a new generation of wireless communication systems due to wide spectrum bands. These frequencies also offer the potential for revolutionary applications made possible by new thinking and advances in devices, circuits, software, signal processing and systems. But the transition to the real use of the terahertz range as a frequency resource in the provision of communication services for applications in special purpose wireless communication networks is accompanied by many problems of spectrum management, network analysis, design and optimization of the architecture of these networks.

The novelty of this work is due to the fact that, despite the fact that in recent years a number of review publications by domestic and foreign authors have been published, but in the aspects of development and specifics of possible applications of wireless communication networks of the terahertz frequency range in solving problems with power structures and forces special operations were not considered. The authors focused special attention on highlighted domestic developments in the field of wireless access systems in the terahertz range.

The purpose of the work is an analytical review of the features of the transition to the real use of the terahertz frequency range as a frequency resource in the provision of communication services by resource-intensive applications by wireless communication networks for promising applications in solving special problems by power structures.

In the work, a systematic analysis and classification of the main areas of promising applications of wireless communication networks of the terahertz frequency range in solving problems by special-purpose power structures is made, and scientific research tasks are given for the transition to the real use of the terahertz frequency range as a frequency resource in the provision of communication services for special purpose applications.

The author's proposals developed in this work for promising applications of terahertz communication networks by special operations forces or special purpose forces are the theoretical basis for creating a methodological apparatus for substantiating recommendations for the selection of promising applications when using terahertz communication networks by special operations forces when performing special purpose tasks.

Assessment of vulnerability of Server-side Web Application and prevention of their manifestation.
Authors: Tereshchenko T. , Ostapchuk V. , Khusainov P. , Chernysh Y.
Published: June 2024

The vulnerability of the system (technological, communication) of the cyber protection object to negative technical impact is always based on the exploitation of its defects. Defect is a property of software, hardware, software-hardware or system components, which under certain conditions can lead to vulnerability. Attack – an attempt to exploit a defect(s) of the system (object of cyber protection) for the implementation of a negative technical effect (unauthorized reading/writing of data, incorrect operation, circumvention of protective mechanisms, abnormal consumption of resources; execution of imposed commands, etc.) under the manifestation of vulnerability using an exploit (exploit).

The appearance of defects is inherent in all stages of the system (cyber protection object) life cycle. Thus, defects are distinguished at the design stage, implementation, adjustment during commissioning, maintenance, and completion of work. The existence of at least one defect in the components of the system, which allows a negative technical effect, makes it vulnerable. Timely detection and elimination of defects reduces the probability of system compromise using at least known exploits.

The expediency, rationality and reasonableness of solutions for finding defects is based on the application of proven sources of world-class expert experience. Thus, Adversarial Tactics, Techniques & Common Knowledge defines Server-side Web Application class systems as an attractive attack target for hackers with the highest average number of potential defects in at least three components: Web Server, Web Application Server, DBMS Server. To find out the distribution of Server-side Web Application defects by characteristic classes, it is necessary to use the Open Worldwide Application Security Project, for a detailed study of them - Common Weakness Enumeration. The application of the National Vulnerability Database and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures complements the evaluation of the found defect.
Methods of digital signature truncation for El-Gamal-type signatures and for DSTU 4145-2002.
Authors: Yakovlіev S. , Kripaka І.
Published: June 2024

Digital signature truncation is important for implementing cryptographic systems for low-resource devices, particularly in systems where signatures are stored for a long term but are checked relatively infrequently. Among such systems we can mention hardware audit logs or secure document repositories. Signature truncation can also be used in cases where memory is limited to represent or store the signature itself (for example, in QR codes). Signature truncation methods for ECDSA and EdDSA standards were proposed in public sources.

This paper proposes a method of truncation of digital signatures for the classical El-Gamal scheme and some of its generalizations, which are based on modular arithmetic. The proposed methods do not require any alternations in the signing procedure, and are therefore applicable to arbitrary existing implementations of the El-Gamal scheme;
the restoration of a digital signature occurs at the expense of an increase in computational costs on the part of the party verifying the signature. A digital signature truncation method for the national standard DSTU 4145-2002 is also proposed; this method takes into account the properties of the arithmetic of elliptic curves, on which the standard is based.

The proposed methods make it possible to effectively implement the truncation of signatures of the El-Gamal type (especially noticeable for DSTU 4145-2002 signatures), discarding up to 32 bits of signature, but the complexity of the verification increases rapidly with the increase in the discarded part of the signature. However, for selected limits of the length of the discarded part, the proposed algorithms have a relatively efficient implementation and therefore can be used to reduce the length of signatures in protocols for low-resource devices.
El inmoralismo de la moral Kantiana
Authors: Bertomeu María Julia
Published: June 2024

Desde distintas perspectivas, tanto Hegel como Schopenhauer han acusado fuertemente a la filosofía práctica kantiana por conducir al inmoralismo. En el caso de Schopenhauer, la acusación se basa en una interpretación del Imperativo categórico según la cual el mismo se convertiría en una nueva versión de la Regla de oro que reconoce como criterio último a los deseos y necesidades subjetivas del agente, esto es, a su egoísmo. Hegel, en cambio, apoya su afirmación en una peculiar interpretación de los postulados de la razón práctica de Kant -especialmente del postulado de la inmortalidad del alma- y de su aparente contradicción con la esencia misma del sistema moral de Kant tal como fuera expuesto por el filósofo de Königsberg en la “Analítica trascendental” de la Crítica de la Razón práctica. En la presente comunicación, y por razones de brevedad, me propongo exponer y criticar sólo la tesis hegeliana según la cual la filosofía moral kantiana conduce directamente al inmoralismo. Para ello expondré, en primer lugar, 1) los aspectos centrales de la crítica de Hegel y, en segundo lugar, 2) intento esbozar una defensa de Kant.

Diet has a significant impact on cardiac function, with lipids being particularly important in pathology prevention and development. The purpose of this study was to look into the preventive impact of Apium graveolenson heart injury in mice fed a high-fat diet. TEM was used to examine the ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes mitochondria, nuclei, and myofibrils. The mitochondrial ultra structure (M) of the HFD group had morphological abnormalities such as membrane degradation, cristae disorder, which caused them to seem deformed, and cristae loss. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus degeneration may be seen in the nucleus ultra structure. Fewer myofibrils (Mf) show degeneration and sarcomere disruption (Z-line). In TEM micrographs, muscle fiber mass fell considerably, suggesting muscle fiber breakdown. After Apium graveolens extract therapy, the normal order of muscle fibers, mitochondria, and nuclei demonstrates that the extract may protect cardiomyocytes from oxidative damage produced by HFD. The findings suggest that Apium graveolens may help protect heart muscle against oxidative stress and the illnesses associated with it induced by a high-fat diet.

Published: June 2024

Solid waste management is a crucial aspect for maintaining environmental sustainability and public health. It includes the collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of solid wastes generated by human activities. An effective solid waste management system aims to reduce the amount of waste generated, promote recycling and reuse, and ensure proper disposal of non-recyclable waste. This process often involves sorting and separating waste materials such as plastics, paper, glass and metals to facilitate recycling. In addition, technologies such as composting and waste-to-energy facilities are used to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. To ensure the success of solid waste management, it is necessary to raise awareness among individuals and communities about the importance of responsible waste disposal practices, encourage sustainable consumption habits and implement comprehensive waste management policies and regulations. By implementing these strategies, we can reduce the negative impacts of waste on the environment and create a cleaner and healthier future for generations to come.

Authors: Boruah Dimpee
Published: June 2024

Honey bees, one of the most commercially, ecologically, and agriculturally significant insects, primarily rely on pollen and nectar for their nourishment. A sufficient supply of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, lipids etc. is necessary for the excellent health of honey bee colonies. However, during times of famine dearth when unfavorable weather conditions arise, bee colonies grow and survive at a lower rate because of the unavailability of food. That is why, the bee colonies may require artificial nutrition, such as pollen and nectar supplements or substitutions, to successfully continue egg laying, brood rearing, and foraging. This chapter highlights the nutrition such as proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, sterols, minerals, vitamins, and water that are required for honey bees’ development and different nectar and pollen supplements and substitutes for maintaining healthy bee colonies.

Most of the vegetables are annuals in nature. Short duration of the vegetables is vulnerable for weed’s competition for sunlight, water and nutrients. In vegetables, 70 to 80 percent of yield loss was recorded due to weeds. This hinderance for vegetable growth makes the weed management an essential thing in vegetable cultivation. Dependence on herbicides for weed control has become easy and immediate solution for weed control in vegetable crop cultivation. But continuous use of herbicides not only pose environmental issues but also pose health related issues. Conventional weed management practices aim at total eradication of weeds but the organic method focuses on management of weeds rather than eradication. Some of the weeds may improves the performance of main crop by acting as a trap crop for pests, that will be best utilized in organic method. The systematic organic approach to reduce the weed competition can be seen in this chapter.
