Authors: GÜNDOĞDU Hatice Meltem , ÖBÜK Dilan Nur , KABATAŞ Engin , ÇELİK Fürüzan
Published: September 2023

Aim: To reveal whether the places where the Gypsies live in Kırklareli Central district are spatially separated from the city center and at the same time segregated, and to make suggestions for the solution of this segregation. Method: Information document collection, mapping, observation, photographing and spatial analysis methods were used in this study, The examination stages of the spatial segregation were handled in three stages in the spatial analysis studies, 1st Stage: "Mapping Spatial segregatıon with Urban Macroform Change", 2nd Stage: "Spatial Features", 3rd Stage: "Physical Space Features". Analysis of "Disintegration in the Urban Imagination" analysis regarding the readability of the Gypsy’s region within the whole of Kırklareli, and the separation of the Gypsies and their region with the city center and other city dwellers, both imaginatively, spatially and socially, were evaluated. Results: In observational studies on the segregation areas of the mobility of the Gypsies and indigenous people, it is observed that the location, transportation, accessibility, security, equipment adequacy, living spaces and the building-building environment are all analyzed in the results, that the Gypsy’s region is a settlement separated from its socio-spatial structuring and urban integrity. It is seen that social segregation is also clearly felt. Conclusion: As a result, focused on solving the economic problems and problems of the Gypsies, Idea proposals were developed to overcome the spatial separation by increasing the common areas of use of the Gypsies and local people and by introducing socialization opportunities.

Authors: MALIK NAJMA , ATTA MOHSIN , KHALID SUBHAM
Published: September 2023

The proposed research aimed to examine abusive leadership and workplace ostracism as predictors of employee silence among school teachers in Sargodha, Pakistan. Studies further tend to examine the moderating role of power distance. Purposive sampling was employed to acquire the data. The research variables were quantified using the Abusive Supervision Scale (Mitchell & Ambrose, 2007), Workplace Exclusion Scale (Hitlan & Noel, 2009), Silence Scale (Van Dyne et al., 2003) and Power Distance Scale (Dorfman & Howell, 1988). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between abusive leadership, workplace ostracism, employee silence, and power distance. Results showed that abusive leadership, ostracism, silence, and power distance have a positive relationship with each other. The findings of linear regression revealed that abusive leadership, ostracism and power distance positively predicted employee silence. Moderation analysis revealed that power distance significantly moderated the relationship of abusive leadership and workplace ostracism with employee silence. The proposed research provides some recommendations and conclusions for future researchers who may be interested in examining the abuse that teachers experience in a high-power-distance culture that compels them to act silently.

In the article the revealed social-political, political-ideological and historical-philosophical content «three national principles» Sun Yatsen. In general, the «three national principles» are recognized as a political doctrine, which absorbed both confucian ideology and western political thought. To proposed Sun Yatsen the «three national principles» it: the principle of nationalism, which meant the self-determination of the chinese people and chinese minorities, the destruction of all forms of oppression and evil to restore the status of the nation; the principle of people’s rule can be achieved by abolishing autocracy and establishing a republic, as well as the creation of a five-power constitution based on legislative, judicial and administrative powers; national welfare is considered the most difficult to solve and means the idea of equalizing land ownership with the help of a fair taxation system. These proposed principles of Sun Yatsen became a program for carrying out a simultaneous national, political and economic revolution in China, contributed to the overthrow of the Qing autocratic monarchy and the establishment of the Republic of China. Based on the conducted research, it was established what in the «three national principles» was the first proposed to be introduced in the Chine democratic, constitutional, political and economic systems. Moreover, Sun Yatsen believed that there is true democracy and government of the people is prerequisites for public ownership and distribution of state and public economic interests, which will enable China to rapidly modernize and integrate in the direction of civilization, move along the path of development and prosperity, and become a strong country. Installed, what «three national principles» became a relatively complete revolutionary program for building chinese society. It was determined, what «three national principles» became an important theoretical source of Chinese Marxism, in which Chinese traditional thought and Marxism were combined, which further influenced the historical process of the Chineseization of Marxism.

Published: September 2023

If an axiomatic is false or even deliberately false, it becomes pointless to try to build consistent communication on it. The purpose of the work is to identify and substantiate the presence of a systemic error, which consists in the legitimization of the operations of «kratia», robberies and their cover-up for the operation of «socially fair» redistribution. The work uses an interdisciplinary approach, in particular, the methods of political science, philosophy of science, and mathematics. In particular, the axiomatic approach, the method of proof by contradiction, the method of defining paradoxes, and the method of sediment reactivation are used. The scientific novelty consists in the formalization of political considerations regarding the class of equivalence for the ‘robbery operation’ (an open forced way of extracting goods — piracy, looting, feudalism, imperialism, racketeering, taxation,...). Results and conclusion. The use of a robbery operation is the destruction of the conditions for the existence of a society of sustainable development, an offense, behavior against the law, an act, a crime, that is, the commission of an action that harms a person as a sovereign, organization, stratum, society, region, country,... And it can’t be cultivated in a society of sustainable development.
INCLUSION, DEMOCRACY AND POWER IN THE CONTEXT OF POLITICAL SUBJECTIVATION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Karaschuk Mykola , Lipin Mykola ,   State University of Trade and Economics (Kyiv) Ukraine
Published: September 2023

The essence of politics as a conflict sphere of human existence is revealed. On the example of the concept of the political, K. Schmitt demonstrated the importance of the dilemma of inclusion/exclusion as fundamental to political life. The heuristic potential of the «friend-enemy» distinction for understanding the political and its characteristic attributes: publicity, conflict, and emergency are revealed. In the article, politics is defined as a revolutionary, groundless and distributed space for the joint realization of the human in man. It appears as a way of cultivating a free person. The anthropological dimension of politics allows us to reveal the logic of political subjectivation as an individualization of the universal. The purpose of the article is to study politics as a space of inclusion, in which political subjectivation is carried out through the individualization of the universal. The works of domestic and foreign authors were used to consider the problem raised in the article. The research is based on the principles of such methodological approaches as critical, interdisciplinary, systemic and comparative analysis, as well as on general scientific principles of objectivity and historicism. The potential of distinguishing between politics and the police as two forms of social existence is analyzed. If politics has as its consequence and result inclusion, the manifestation in public space of the presence and voice of the marginalized, then the police unfolds in a consensus-structured environment of power, identities, places and statuses. Inclusion is characterized as the essence of a political process, the task of which is to revise the foundations of beingamong-others and involve more people in the debate about the common good. A distinction is drawn between inclusion and integration. If the first is carried out as a political process, then the second is a consequence of depoliticization. Political inclusion is presented as a process of formation of a distributed unity, the configuration of distribution and the whole of which is the subject of a dispute, the conditions of which are ensured by democracy.

In this study of people with mental illness, the characteristics of each category of self-esteem were investigated. In addition, the influence of mentally impaired human rights attitude on quality of life was investigated for each category. In other words, it was carried out in order to provide a practical plan for delivering assistance to improve the quality of life in people suffering from mental illness based on their level of self-esteem. For this purpose, 205 data people with mental illness form the the Korea Disabled Development Institute’s panel on the life from the third data set were used. For the analysis, M-Plus 8.2 and SPSS 25.0 were utilized. The following are the study’s findings. First, four types of self-esteem were found in people with mental illness. Second, there was a significant difference between groups in terms of the characteristics of the type of self-esteem in people with mental illness. Third, among people with mental illness, the sense of human rights, which corresponds to the positive type and type of value respect, has a significant impact on quality of life. Based on these findings, it was advocated that people with mental illnesses have access to treatments tailored to their level of self-esteem, as well as the materials needed to improve their quality of life through the advancement of their human rights.
SGLT2 Inhibitors are Blockbusters in Adults - But Not Studied in Children with Kidney Disease due to Industry Conflicts of Commercial Interest: A Call for Help To Regulators
Authors: Gross Oliver
Published: September 2023

This article reviews the circumstances why and how the pharmaceutical industry is avoiding the pediatric investigation plans for their block-buster drugs in chronic kidney diseases. The "why" is easy to answer because it is just about economic reasons. This is much to the disadvantage of sick children, who are thus deprived of the opportunity for evidence-based therapy. Just as in the time prior to the pediatric trial regulation, pediatricians remain in a legal gray zone of off-label use and expose themselves to the risk of lawsuits. The article is intended to start a discussion on how regulatory authorities could support the development of better treatment recommendations for children with kidney disease for drugs that are not promoted by the industry. This could be by working more closely with patient representatives and academia, by supporting the planning phase of investigator-initiated trials, or by scientific advice on cumulative real world and randomized controlled trial data on specific medications or substance groups.

Scaling Tutoring: Five Key Factors to Benefit More Students
Authors: Parker David
Published: September 2023

The text highlights the significance of tutoring in education, stating that no other intervention in educational research has a comparable impact. Due to this impact, education advocates worldwide are advocating for scaling tutoring to address learning inequalities exacerbated by the global pandemic. The optimism for scaling tutoring is based on two key assumptions. First, it assumes that tutoring will remain effective when scaled up. Second, it assumes that scaling tutoring is feasible. The author describes the 5 key factors for scaling up tutoring programs: (1) a well-specified theory of change, (2) a dedicated organizational structure, (3) use evidence-based instructional methods, (4) make data-based decisions, and (5) programming for accurate model delivery.

The natural Fisetin and its derivatives have been shown to have effective bioactivity and strong pharmacological profile, which is continuously drawing the interest of therapeutic applications to the development of new biomolecules against Breast cancer and Monkeypox, and Marburg viral infection, while computational approaches and the study of their structure-activity relationship (SAR) are the most eloquent and reliable platform for performing their hypothetical profile renovation. So, the main perspective of this investigation is to evaluate dual function of Fisetin and its derivatives against both virus and cancerous target. First and foremost, the prediction of activity spectra for materials (PASS) valuation has provided preliminary data on the antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and anti-cancer possibilities of the mentioned compounds. According to the evidence, PASS predicted scores were shown to perform better in antineoplastic and antiviral than antibacterial, and antiparasitic efficiency; as evidenced by their higher PASS scores in antineoplastic and antiviral drug tests. Breast cancer, Monkeypox, and Marburg virus have been selected as targeted pathogens, and different in silico studies were conducted to determine the dual function of mention derivatives. The “Lipinski five rules,” on the other hand, has been subjected to extensive testing for drug-like characteristics. Molecular docking against Breast cancer, Monkeypox, and Marburg virus have been accomplished after confirmation of their bioactivity. The molecular docking evaluation against targeted disease displayed re-markable binding affinity and non-bonding engagement, with most of the results indicating that derivatives are more effective than the FDA approved standard antiviral, and antineoplastic drugs. Finally, the ADMET characteristics have been computed, and they indicate that the substance is suitable to use and did not have any chance to produce adverse effects on aquatic or non-aquatic environment, as well as having a highly soluble capacity in water medium, high G.I absorption rate, with outstanding bioavailability index. Therefore, these mentioned Fisetin derivatives could be suggested as potential medication against Breast cancer and newly reported Monkeypox, and Marburg virus, and may further proceed for laboratory experiment, synthesis, and clinical trials to evaluate their practical value.

Séquestration du carbone et provision d’autres services écosystémiques des parcs agroforestiers à karité au Burkina Faso
Authors: Dimobe Kangbéni , Bayala Jules
Published: September 2023

L'agroforesterie joue un rôle important dans l'atténuation du climat et la provison d’autres services ecosystemiques. La forme la plus repandue de cette agroforesterie pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest est constituée par les parcs agroforestiers avec karité (Vitellaria paradoxa) comme espèce dominante. En depit de cette importance, le potentiel de séquestration du carbone des parcs agroforestiers à karité a été très peu documenté au Burkina Faso. La présente étude a pour objectif d’évaluer la contribution des parcs agroforestiers à karité à la séquestration du carbone et autres services écosystémiques dans ce pays. Pour cela, une enquête auprès des ménages et des inventaires ont été réalisés dans trois secteurs phytogeographiques au Burkina Faso. Plus de 89 % des personnes enquetées ont le karité dans leurs champs. Selon les résultats d’enquêtes, la plante fournit du bois de chauffe et du bois d'œuvre. Elle améliore également la fertilité du sol et intervient dans le contrôle l'érosion du sol. La densité du karité dans les champs varie entre 32 et 45 individus par hectare avec une hauteur moyenne de 7,93 ± 0, 22 m et un diamètre à hauteur de poitrine (DBH) de 31,9 0± 1,37 cm. La biomasse aérienne des individus de V. paradoxa présents dans les différents parcs varie entre 15,52 et 42,8 Mg/ha (soit une moyenne de 25,69 ± 8,14 Mg/ha ou 12,85 Mg de carbone par hectare). Nos resultats ont donc montré que les parcs agroforestiers à karité contribuent de manière significative à la séquestration du carbone et que l'ampleur de ces bénéﬁces varie avec le DBH des arbres et les secteurs phytogeographiques. Nous avons constaté que les individus ont tous un DBH> 24 cm et qu'il n'y a donc pas de jeunes sujets. Il y a donc nécessité de régénération qui peut se faire par régénération naturelle assistée ou par plantation ou une combinaison des deux.

Natural rubber is considered a strategic material for the development of Sri Lanka by the Ministry for Plantations. In response to climate change, the country has adopted a policy focusing on resilience and sustainable development. It is in this context that Ksapa initiated the RIVER project in 2022, aiming to develop a program to strengthen agricultural capacity in Sri Lanka. To carry out this project, the company commissioned YAPI Expertise to provide agroforestry intercropping models based on rubber trees with good agronomic performance and economically of interest to producers to diversify their sources of income. The RIVER project is implemented in two districts in south-eastern Sri Lanka: Moneragala and Ampara. This study began with an analysis of the literature in order to select crops that could be intercropped with rubber. In parallel, 80 interviews, prepared by YAPI Expertise, were conducted in the field by a local organisation, LOAM. The aim of these interviews was to identify rubber intercrop models already implemented in the study areas and to understand the reasons why farmers adopted these models. The interviews were analysed statistically by MCA and Chi². By combining these with the literature review, the study established 5 models (Pineapple model, Cocoa model, Banana model, Passion fruit model, Soursop model) for several intercrops that could be planted with rubber, with potential for adoption by local farmers. Finally, selection criteria were established for each model. Both their strong and weak points are presented, since an effective model cannot rely on agronomic analysis alone and it will be essential to adapt the choice of crops to the local market and to farmers' needs.

Published: September 2023

Deforestation has affected the pre-Andean Amazonian tropical rainforests, as microregions are of relevant ecological and environmental importance for biodiversity conservation. Macromycetes are some of the organisms facing extinction owing to the alteration of which the natural tropical rainforests have been subjected. This work provides an inventory of the macromycetes inhabiting the last relicts of natural, unspoiled rainforest of the Department of Cochabamba, Bolivia, and reports the advancements made in their identification and classification. The inventory was taken in the permanently monitored plots established within the primary forest preserved by the San Simón University at the Valley of Sacta Fund. We found sixty-two different morphotypes, fifty-five of which are macromycetes and seven are not polypores. Fifty morphotypes were categorized as saprophytes living on dead trunks and branches and twelve morphotypes parasitizing living trunks of 17 tree species. Low macromycete species richness and the Shannon index (3.78) are indicative of low macrofungal diversity.
Structural Identification of Control Objects—A Review
Authors: Karabutov Nikolay
Published: September 2023

The structural identification (SI) problem of control objects has not been solved. The formalization and interpretation complexity of the structure concept is the main problem. In identification systems, the form of the model (its structure) choice is intuitive and bases on the experience and knowledge of the researcher in most cases. The task of parametric identification is often interpreted as SI. It introduces certain confusion in understanding of the task and decision-making. This is two different areas of research. The structural identification problem is multifaceted and includes many subtasks, and their solution gives the final result. Some tasks have been solved. The purpose of this work is to review existing approaches and methods to the structural identification problem of control objects from a system perspective. It is necessary to give the SI problem statement at the multiple-informational level to reflect the difficulties of formalizing SI. New directions to analyse that were not SI areas until now.
Genu Recurvatum and Rocker Bottom Foot Co-occurrence in a Unique Clinical Image of Edwards Syndrome.
Authors: Gupta Swati , Raghumahanti Raghuveer , Harjpal Pallavi
Published: September 2023

Edward syndrome, clinically known as trisomy 18 syndrome, is an autosomal chromosomal disorder characterized by an extra copy of chromosome 18. It belongs to the category of autosomal trisomy syndromes and is the second most common, with trisomy 21 being the only more frequent occurrence. In the context of this research, we present a case study focusing on a 3-month-old female infant admitted to the emergency department due to a complex array of symptoms. The primary clinical manifestations included a persistent cough, cold, and fever lasting for eight consecutive days. Comprehensive clinical evaluations, encompassing radiological and hematological investigations, confirmed the diagnosis of bronchiolitis along with viral bronchopneumonia. Chest X-rays revealed bilateral patchy opacities and diffuse haziness, primarily concentrated in the right hemithorax. Beyond respiratory issues, the infant displayed a range of distinctive physical attributes, including low-set ears, micrognathia, cranial anomalies, flattened nasal bridge, widely spaced nipples, overlapping fingers, abdominal distention, rocker-bottom feet, and recurring limb deformities known as recurvatum. Attempts to correct the limb deformity with a hip spica cast over an extended month-long period proved unsuccessful. Chronic villus sampling (CVS) ultimately confirmed the presence of Edward Syndrome (Trisomy 18), linked to the extra chromosome 18, leading to diverse physiological and developmental abnormalities. This case underscores the critical importance of timely and precise diagnosis, highlighting the challenges involved in addressing complex medical conditions marked by multifaceted clinical phenotypes.

Published: September 2023

Defining the best conditions for the initial development of native species is one of the significant challenges to forest production. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate andiroba's physiological behavior and growth (Carapa guianensis Aubl.) seedlings at different shading levels. In a nursery seedling, C. guianensis seedlings grew on 0, 30, 50, and 70% shading, obtained with polyethylene screens. We measured at six plants per treatment. For the physiological data we measurement four times the total chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a/b ratio, maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), maximum potential photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi), and carbon use efficiency (CUE), besides the growth parameters. While for growth rates parameters we developed six evaluation for as leaf area ratio (LAF), relative growth rates (RGR), and net assimilation rate (NAR). Chlorophyll content and Fv/Fm were inversely proportional to the light intensity. The other physiological and growth parameters showed better behavior in shaded environments, emphasizing the 50% treatment, with no significant difference between the 30% shading treatment. Therefore, the C. guianensis seedlings present growth plasticity under different shading levels, and we recommended producing seedlings at 50 or 30% shading.

Authors: Dimitrov Yuri , Georgiev Slavi , Todorov Venelin
Published: September 2023

The fractional derivatives are a generalization the derivatives of integer order and find applications in studying memory processes in various scientific fields. Numerical methods are used to solve and analyze fractional models of real world problems. In this paper, we consider an approximation of the Caputo fractional derivative and its asymptotic formula, whose generating function is the polylogarithmic function. In the paper, we prove the convergence of the approximation and derive an estimate for the error and order. We consider an application of the approximation for the construction of finite difference schemes for numerical solution of the two-term ordinary fractional differential equation and the time-fractional Black-Scholes equation for option pricing. The properties of the approximation are used to prove the convergence of the methods used for numerical solution of the fractional differential equations. The theoretical results for the error and order of the methods are illustrated by the results of numerical experiments.

HD patients aged 18 years and above who were seeking regular treatment in a specific HD-unit of a hospital in the upper Midwest, were surveyed between March 2020 and July 2020. Descriptive statistics, correlational analyses, and regression analyses were performed. Females could be expected to have emotional coping scores 8 units greater than males, as B = 8.017 for sex in the model, p =.000. Females could be expected to have coping scores 6.4 points higher than males when adjusted for stress levels, as: B = 6.351, p =.001 for sex in the model. For each 1point increase in Stress Score, the Coping Score could be expected to: increase 6.8 points when adjusted for Sex, where B = 6.751 and p =.000. Increased prevalence of emotional pre-occupation was only observed among female patients which increased with the increase in stress. Psychological interventions in female HD patients should be strongly considered in addressing emotional pre-occupation coping.
Accelerated Burn Healing in a Mouse Experimental Model by α-gal Nanoparticles
Authors: Galili Uri
Published: September 2023

Macrophages play a pivotal role in the process of healing burns. One of the major risks in the course of burns healing, in the absence of regenerating epidermis, is infections which greatly contribute to morbidity and mortality in such patients. Therefore, it is widely agreed that accelerating recruitment of macrophages into burns may contribute to faster regeneration of the epidermis and thus, decreasing the risk of infections. This review describes a unique method for rapid recruitment of macrophages into burns and activation of these macrophages to mediate accelerated regrowth of the epidermis and healing of burns. The method is based on application of bio-degradable “alpha-gal” nanoparticles to burns. These nanoparticles present multiple alpha-gal epitopes (Gal alpha1-3Gal beta1-4GlcNAc-R) which bind the abundant natural anti-Gal antibody that constitutes ~1% of immunoglobulins in humans. Anti-Gal/alpha-gal nanoparticles interaction activates the complement system, resulting in localized production of the complement cleavage-peptides C5a and C3a that are highly effective chemotactic factors for monocytes derived macrophages. The macrophages recruited into the alpha-gal nanoparticles treated burns are activated following interaction between the Fc portion of anti-Gal coating the nanoparticles and the multiple Fc receptors on macrophages cell membranes. The activated macrophages secrete a variety of cytokines/growth factors that accelerate the regrowth of the epidermis and regeneration of the injured skin, thereby cutting the healing time by half. Studies on healing of thermal injuries in the skin of anti-Gal producing mice, demonstrated a much faster recruitment of macrophages into burns treated with alpha-gal nanoparticles than in control burns treated with saline and healing of the burns within 6 days, whereas healing of control burns takes ~12 days. alpha-Gal nanoparticles are non-toxic, and do not cause chronic granulomas or keloids. These findings suggest that alpha-gal nanoparticles treatment may harness anti-Gal for inducing similar accelerated burn healing effects also in humans.

Fertilized zygotes normally display 2 pronuclei (PN) but abnormal fertilization patterns (0, 1 or >2 PN) are daily observed in IVF labs. Multiple PN zygotes (>2) are generally discarded due to an increased risk of aneuploidy. However, the decision to transfer or not 1PN-derived embryos remains controversial. The aims of our study were to analyze the neonatal outcomes of fresh or frozen-thawed embryos derived from 1PN zygotes, and to evaluate the influence of the fertilization method. Data were retrospectively collected from cycles performed between January 2018 and December 2022. Fresh cycles were analyzed for the comparative fate of 1PN zygotes (n=1234) following conventional in vitro fertilization (cIVF; n=648) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI; n=586), as well as the results of the 64 transfers of 1PN derived embryos (pregnancy rate (PR) and neonatal outcomes). This pregnancy follow-up was also applied to 167 transfers of frozen-thawed 1PN derived embryos. In fresh cycles, 46% of the 1PN zygotes in cIVF group gave rise to embryos of sufficient quality to be transferred or frozen (day 3 or 5/6). This rate decreased to 33% in the fresh ICSI cycles. Blastulation rate was also significantly higher in cIVF group (44%) in comparison to ICSI group (20%). The fresh embryo transfers (32 per group) allowed 7 pregnancies in the cIVF group (PR=21.9%) as compared to 4 pregnancies in the ICSI group (PR=12.5%). In the cIVF group, 4 deliveries of healthy newborns were achieved and only one in the ICSI group. In frozen/thawed cycles, 36 pregnancies were obtained out of the 167 transfers. A non-significative difference was observed between embryos derived from cIVF cycles (PR=26%) and ICSI cycles (PR=16%) with respectively 18 and 8 healthy babies born. In conclusion, we observed better outcomes for 1PN zygotes in cIVF cycles in comparison to ICSI cycles. Our center policy to transfer good quality 1PN-derived embryos allowed the birth of 31 healthy babies.
