Effects of alkali metals or Cu+ addition to α-FAPbI3 perovskite crystals on electronic structures and photovoltaic properties
Authors: Okumura Riku , Oku Takeo , Suzuki Atsushi
Published: January 2024

A monovalent copper ion (Cu+) with the same valence as formamidinium is focused on the present work, and the effects of A-site inorganic cations on the electronic structures and device performance are discussed from the experiments and the first-principles calculations. The addition of inorganic cations increased the conversion efficiencies, and the copper-doped device showed the highest conversion efficiency. In particular, the hysteresis of current density–voltage characteristics was significantly suppressed by the addition of Cu+, which would be due to suppression of iodine ion (I−) diffusion by electrostatic interaction between Cu+ and I−. The addition of rubidium or cesium contributed to the increase in short-circuit current density by suppressing decomposition of perovskite crystals and formation of PbI2.

Authors: Sugioka Hideyuki , Arai Yuki , Kakuda Nozomi
Published: January 2024

Developing a powerful micro-engine capable of continuous operation is vital for a next-generation micro-air vehicle (MAV). Here, we propose a centimeter-scale MAV using explosive evaporation due to underwater electrical discharge. Specifically, by fabricating the MAV (which is tethered to a pendulum and consists of an L-shaped tube and a pair of discharge electrodes), we demonstrate that the MAV can continue to move in air with a maximum velocity of ∼0.4 m s−1. Moreover, through an additional experiment, we find that our device can be used in an untethered state by using a pair of electrodes as an antenna with a pair of external electrodes. Our findings should contribute to next-generation MAVs in the future.

Authors: Dubin R. A. , Paliy A. P. , Todorov M. I. , Koreneva Zh. B.
Published: January 2024

When new compounds of the triazoline series are introduced into the diet, it contributes to the preservation of livestock, increases weight gain and improves metabolic processes in the metabolism of quails. The purpose of our research was to study the pharmacotoxicological properties and to substantiate the effectiveness of the use of the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109 in poultry farming. The study was conducted in the period from 2022 to 2023 at the Odesa State Agrarian University. To conduct an experiment to study the pharmacodynamics of the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109, day-old quails of the Pharaoh breed, clinically healthy, were selected and divided into four groups of 30 heads in each: 1 control group, which was not given a compound of the triazoline series; 2 experimental group drank the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109 - 0.5% solution; in experimental groups Nos. 3 and 4, the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109 –1.0% and 1.5% was administered, respectively. Research methods were used during the work: morphological and biochemical, statistical.The results showed that the pharmacodynamic effects of the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109 when included in the diet of quails in doses from 0.5 to 1.5% contribute to: increasing the preservation of poultry stock by 6.7–13.4%; growth-stimulating effect when increasing body weight gains by 3.7-9.1%; an optimizing effect on erythro- and hematopoiesis with an increase in the concentration of erythrocytes by 9.5–10.8% and hemoglobin by 5.1–6.3%; improvement of metabolic indicators, an increase in the level of total protein by 3.3–6.9%, albumin by 9.1–14.5%, glucose by 8.2–9.3%, and calcium by 5.8–6.6%. The use of the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109 contributes to the reduction in the blood of lipid peroxidation products and the level of endogenous intoxication while improving the condition of the liver of quails. Analyzing the above, it can be concluded that adding a 1% solution of the compound of the triazoline series GKPF-109 to drinking water is the most pharmacologically effective and economically feasible in raising quail

Published: January 2024

The aim of the work was to study the in vitro reproduction of new emergent isolates of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in purpose to determine virulence properties. The new strains of IPNV isolated from trout farms in Ukraine during 2021-2022 were investigated. For this purpose, RTG-2 cell line was used, on which the infectious titer of the virus and the manifestation of CPE signs were determined. The infectious titer of selected isolates in RTG-2 cell line ranged from 1.1x103 to 1.0x107 TCID50/ml Isolated IPNV strains caused low (≤25 %), moderate (≤50 %) and high (≥70 %) mortality rates in trout fry. Based on biological properties and indicators of infectious titer, the investigated isolates VN11, VN18 and VN29 were determined as with low virulence, and isolates VN20, VN30, VN32 and VN39 were classified as highly virulent. Among the highly virulent isolates, VN32 had the highest titer of 1.0x107 TCID50/ml and caused mortality in rainbow trout with an average weight of 100 g. The IPNV strain isolated from the brook trout had an infectious titer of 1.58x106 TCID50/ml and caused fry mortality ranged from 15 to 25 %. The number of detected isolates and their cultural properties testify to the biodiversity of strains for the Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in Ukraine. How many newly discovered isolates of the IPNV belong to one or another genotype remains to be determined. For this, a study of the nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the capsid protein VP2 will be conducted, on the basis of which it will also be possible to determine virulence by changes in amino acids sequences

НЕКАЛЕНДАРНЫЕ И КАЛЕНДАРНЫЕ АНТРОПОНИМЫ В РУССКИХ ДЕЛОВЫХ ПАМЯТНИКАХ ПО СВЯЗЯМ РОССИИ С ИНДИЕЙ В XVII ВЕКЕ
Authors: GAMBAROVA Khabiba
Published: January 2024

Статья посвящена изучению состава и особенностей антропонимов (некалендарных и календарных), зафиксированных в текстах русских деловых памятников по связям России с Индией в XVII веке. Показывается, что Крещение Руси привело к распространению не только крестильных, но мирских прозвищ. Некалендарные личные имена главным образом отражают порядок, время рождения, внешность ребенка, а также отношение родителей к факту появления нового члена семьи. Употребление некалендарных антропонимов в текстах рассматриваемой русской деловой письменности в малом количестве свидетельствует о победе церковного именника, привлекавшего к себе внимание крестьянского населения по всей Руси и получившего активную поддержку в верхних социальных слоях. Некалендарные и календарные антропонимы, содержащиеся в текстах деловых документов, отражающих дипломатические отношения России с Индией XVII в., свидетельствуют о том, что переход к современной модели именования лица в русском языке начался именно в этот период. Весьма распространенной моделью образования русской фамилии стало прибавление к основе — имени или прозвищу отца — суффиксов -ов/-ев или -ин. Они были формирующими элементами фамилий на русских землях. В XVII веке единая модель именования человека еще не сложилась. Для данного периода были присущи четырехкомпонентные, трехкомпонентные и двухкомпонентные именования лица.

STRATEGIES FOR MITIGATION NEEDLE STICK INJURIES IN A HEALTHCARE CENTRE: COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREVENTION AND SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS.
Authors: Verma Preeti , Bhardwaj Shubhankur
Published: January 2024

Medical treatment is intended to save life and improve health, and all health workers have a responsibility to prevent
transmission of health-care associated infections. Occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens from needle sticks and
other sharps injuries is a serious problem, but it is preventable and requires management for it. The exposure can occur through needle-stick and
sharp injuries, and from splashes contaminated with blood or body uids. Management includes rst aid, risk assessment, notication and
reporting for HBV, HCV and HIV, and provision of PEP. The prophylaxis should be administered as soon after exposure as possible; it entails
medical evaluation, follow-up care and prevention, and is specic to the etiologic agent involved. The articulation of robust management
strategies, notably through prompt PEP administration and pathogen-specic protocols, serves as an imperative for safeguarding the well-being
of healthcare professionals. Regularized training initiatives, adherence to established safety protocols, and meticulous reporting mechanisms
collectively constitute the fulcrum of an effective framework for the prevention and management of occupational exposures in the healthcare
system.

Authors: Suresh Parvathy , P Nair Bindu
Published: January 2024

The Covid 19 pandemic has re-emphasized the requirement of a robust medical community, which can be accomplished
primarily through their physical and mental well-being. The present study investigated the relationship between
psychological distress and resilience of medical students and the possible effects (protective/detrimental) that sociodemographic variables such
as gender and socioeconomic status may have on these study variables. For this purpose, 222 medical students were selected through convenient
sampling method and assessed using Kessler's psychological distress scale and the resilience scale. The data obtained were analysed using
nonparametric tests. A moderate, negative correlation was observed between psychological distress and resilience of medical students. Gender
differences in the variables were revealed; males possess better resilience and lower psychological distress, while the reverse was true for
females. Differences in psychological distress based on socioeconomic status showed those above average in socioeconomic status experiencing
higher psychological distress and differing signicantly from those below average and average in socioeconomic status. However, no signicant
differences were observed in resilience on the basis of socioeconomic status. The study lends credence to the importance of mental health
awareness and the need for mental health care services to be easily accessible to medical students, to ameliorate their well-being.

COMPLICATIONS OF OLERENON OSTEOTOMY FOLLOWING DISTAL HUMERUS FRACTURE FIXATION
Authors: Mozhi Rajan Arun , Subramanian Hari Hara
Published: January 2024

Distal humerus fractures are complex fractures involving the articular surfaces which requires open reduction, proper articular realignment, stable
internal xation and early post operative mobilization. This can be acquired only with proper exposure of the joint and distal humeral metaphyseal
surfaces. Olecrenon osteotomy through posterior approach is one of the ways to achieve this. But having said that, complications of olecranon
osteotomy can interfere with the primary complex trauma and make it even worse. In this study we have studied the complications of olecranon
osteotomy done for distal humerus fractures and discussed about the appropriate level of osteotomy, implant related problems and soft tissue
complications.

Postharvest storage containers are important for maintaining the quality of tomato fruits in marketing chains and consumption. Raffia baskets, plastic bowls and Ziploc bags were used to store tomato fruits for seven days. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with four replications. Data was taken on weight loss, dry matter, moisture content, pH, total ash content and colour. Results revealed that the storage containers had significant (p<0.05) effect on dry matter, moisture content and weight loss of the tomato fruits. Tomato fruits stored in raffia basket, plastic bowl and Ziploc bag gave moisture content of 92.13%, 93.07% and 92.97% at seven days of storage, respectively. There was no significant difference (p˃0.05) in the effects of the three storage containers on total ash content and pH of the tomato fruits. For efficient storage without excessive deterioration, plastic bowls were considered the best storage container for improved shelf-life of tomato fruits.
Open science: il nuovo paradigma della ricerca

Il contributo propone una definizione dell’open science, nuovo paradigma della ricerca: un nuovo modo di fare ricerca, del quale è necessario conoscere e capire i principi, anche attraverso il dettato normativo del legislatore europeo. Nella nebulosa semantica che avvolge il mondo open, si propone una definizione del contesto in cui colloca l’open science: anche in siti ufficiali, di enti di ricerca o di editori, è infatti presente una certa sovrapposizione semantica tra open science, open data ed open access, il che evidenzia come sia ancora necessaria - anche a vent’anni di distanza dalla nascita del movimento open access - una capillare azione di formazione e sensibilizzazione, considerata la complessità di questi fenomeni, strettamente legati anche ai meccanismi di valutazione della ricerca.

Relevance. The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has a serious impact on the health and lives of children, adolescents and adults. Syphilis, like most STIs, is a socially significant disease, while among the factors influencing the spread of this infection, migration processes, including labor migration, occupy a special place.
Aims. To study syphilis in foreign migrants in the Russian Federation and individual subjects of the state in recent years.
Material and methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of the incidence of syphilis among the population of the Russian Federation and foreign migrants was performed. The data from Federal Statistical Monitoring Form No. 9 and No. 34 was used with reference to STIs incidence in 2011–2022 in Russia and in its regions.
Results. Among foreign migrant citizens, the incidence rates were higher than the Russian average: 1.5–2.0 times before 2020, and 4 times in 2021 and 2022. The proportion of registered cases of syphilis among foreign citizens in 2021 was 36.4%, significantly exceeding this figure not only in 2020 (18.2%), but also in previous years (16.7–21.2%). An increase in the number of foreign citizens with syphilis was observed in 2021 in all federal districts of the Russian Federation, while the number of syphilis cases detected in this contingent of people varied significantly between different regions of the Russian Federation. The main share (98.1%) in the structure of syphilis detected in foreign citizens was latent forms of the disease.
Conclusions. The high level of detection of syphilis in foreign migrant citizens and the predominance of latent forms of the disease in this population represent a potential epidemiological danger of the spread of infection. In connection with the current situation, it seems necessary to develop and implement permanent and controlled algorithms for monitoring STIs in risk groups, including foreign migrant citizens.

Introduction. H7 subtype avian influenza viruses causing severe epizootics among birds are phylogenetically different in the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Numerous human infections caused by these viruses in the Eastern hemisphere indicate that H7 viruses can overcome the interspecies barrier and pose a potential threat of a new pandemic.The H7N2 viruses with deletion of amino acids 221–228 (H3 numbering) in hemagglutinin (HA) had been circulating among poultry in the Western Hemisphere during 1996–2006, and had once again been detected in 2016 in an animal shelter, where they caused cat diseases.
The objective of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of adaptation to mammals of North American H7N2 influenza viruses with deletion in HA.
Materials and methods. The A/chicken/New Jersey/294598-12/2004 (H7N2) virus was adapted to mice by the lung passages. Complete genomes of original and mouse-adapted viruses were analyzed. The receptor specificity and thermostability of viruses, HA activation pH and virulence for mice were determined.
Results. The non-pathogenic H7N2 avian influenza virus became pathogenic after 10 passages in mice. Amino acid substitutions occurred in five viral proteins: one in PB2 (E627K), NA (K127N), NEP (E14Q), four in HA and six in NS1. Mutations in HA slightly changed receptor specificity but increased the pH of HA activation by 0.4 units. The NS1 protein undergone the greatest changes in the positions (N73T, S114G, K118R, G171A, F214L and G224R), where amino acid polymorphisms were observed in the original virus, but only minor amino acid variants have been preserved in the mouse adapted variant.
Conclusion. The results show that H7N2 viruses have the potential to adapt to mammals. The increase in virulence is most likely due to the adaptive E627K mutation in PB2 and possibly in HA.

Introduction. Given the unfavorable epidemic situation with chickenpox and shingles in Russia, there is a high risk of virus introduction and spread in healthcare settings, including among medical staff who are not immune to varicella zoster virus (VZV).
The objective of this study is to assess the immunity of employees of a multidisciplinary hospital in Moscow to VZV.
Materials and methods. A selective screening study was carried out. Venous blood serum samples were taken from 1546 hospital employees as material for detection of IgG antibodies to VZV antigens using a commercial solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) test system "Vecto VZV-IgG". All employees were questioned to obtain information about their infectious and vaccine history in relation to VZV.
Results and discussion. Screening for antibodies to VZV in the hospital workers revealed that 6.3% of those workers are not immune to VZV. The proportion of seronegative individuals was the highest (12.6 ± 2.4%) in the age group of 29 years and younger. VZV seronegative healthcare workers were found in various departments, but the presence of non-immune individuals among the staff of the obstetrics and gynecology departments (6.5%) is of epidemiologic concern. The results of the survey showed that documented data on infection and vaccination history cannot be used to assess the protection of healthcare workers against VZV infection.
Conclusion. The results of serologic screening for antibodies to VZV made it possible to identify a significant number of susceptible employees of the multidisciplinary hospital. In order to prevent the formation of multiple epidemic foci of varicella in medical organizations, it is advisable to include anti-VZV testing of medical staff in the state prevention programs with subsequent vaccination of non-immune individuals.

Introduction. Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CP-Kp), which are international high-risk clones, have become a problem of utmost importance. CP-Kps, adapting to the hospital environment, evolve into convergent pathotypes. Such variants combine traits of two genetic lineages: multidrug resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent. The pathotypes, along with MDR K. pneumoniae, pose an exceptional threat to young patients during systemic infection.
The objective of this study is the detailed molecular genetic analysis of MDR isolates of K. pneumoniae detected during the monitoring of resistant Gram-negative bacteria at the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health in 2014–2021.
Materials and methods. Whole-genome sequencing with a subsequent bioinformatics analysis of eight MDR isolates from the bloodstream and cerebrospinal fluid.
Results. MDR isolates belonged to 4 sublineages (SL): SL307, SL395, SL29 and SL1198. In the genomes of 6 pangrug-resistant (PDR) isolates, genes associated with resistance to all categories of antibiotics recommended for Enterobacteriaceae therapy were identified. Plasmids were present in all genomes. In 6 isolates, plasmids contained heavy metal ion resistance operons in addition to antibiotic resistance genes. Prophages within the plasmids were also involved in the transfer of resistance genes. The ST395 isolate from the cerebrospinal fluid belonged to the convergent pathotype in terms of resistance and virulence. Comparison of genomes within SLs revealed recombination events in the K- and O-locus regions and the Yersiniabactin operon.
Conclusion. Thus, in a sample of resistant K. pneumoniae isolated from bloodstream and cerebrospinal fluid, 6 PDR isolates were detected, one of which belongs to the convergent pathotype ST395.

Introduction. Diarrheal syndrome is the most characteristic symptom of HIV infection, which occurs in 70% of patients and is often fatal. The severity of diarrheal syndrome, irrespective of immune status, is usually determined by specific microorganisms colonising the gastrointestinal tract.
The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of classical pathogens of acute intestinal infections in diarrheal syndrome in HIV-infected residents of the Chechen Republic (Grozny).
Materials and methods. Stool samples (n = 191) of HIV-infected patients with a history of diarrheal syndrome were studied by real-time PCR with two kits of reagents: "AmpliSens OKI screen-FL" for the detection of DNA/RNA of Shigella spp./EIEC, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Adenovirus, Rotavirus, Norovirus and Astrovirus; "AmpliSens Escherichiosis-FL" for the detection of diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) DNA of five pathogroups: EPEC, EHEC, ETEC, EIEC, EAgEC.
Results. Genetic markers of the acute intestinal infection pathogens were detected in 20.9% of the examined individuals. In patients aged 0–7 years and 18–24 years, DNA/RNA of the tested pathogens were not detected. DNA of bacterial pathogens accounted for 93.9%, RNA of viral pathogens — 6.1%. The etiological structure of bacterial infections was represented by a significant predominance of DEC (84.8%) compared to 10.9% of Campylobacter spp. and 4.4% of Salmonella spp. The structure of viral infections included 66.7% Rotavirus and 33.3% Norovirus. Genetic markers of Adenovirus and Astrovirus have not been identified. In 77.5% of HIV-infected patients, diarrheal syndrome was caused by one pathogen (mono-infection), but in nine examined patients (22.5%) it had a combined etiology.
Conclusion. The etiology of acute intestinal infections in HIV-infected patients of the Chechen Republic includes bacterial and viral pathogens, in every fifth the cause of diarrheal disease was DEC. Due to diarrhea in HIV-infected people being a polyetiological disease, it is necessary to introduce a comprehensive, fast, reliable, and affordable method for identifying a wide range of pathogens that cause secondary infections.
Inducing Better-Facilitated EFL Writing Learning Dynamics with an Enlightenment of Collaborative Writing Strategy
Authors: Wijaya Kristian
Published: January 2024

Abstract

To better help globalized EFL learners withstand a wide variety of stumbling blocks residing in these modern second language writing learning enterprises, writing instructors should devise a learner-oriented learning approach where writers strongly establish more robust collaborative networking to successfully achieve their desired writing learning goals. A collaborative writing strategy plays an indispensable role to attain this coveted writing learning objective where EFL learners can supportively collate their distinctive ideas, perspectives, and strategies to compose more qualified writing compositions. This currently-initiated qualitative study was in support of an annotated bibliography approach to ascertain the credibility, relevancy, and applicability of the particularly-attained research results. To that end, the researcher utilized a document analysis and an open-coding approach to thematically categorize each identical research result generated by 10 already-published collaborative writing strategy journal articles conducted worldwide. The thematically-analyzed research results highly advised globalized second language writing instructors to incorporate a collaborative writing strategy at the inception of regular writing learning dynamics as it functioned as one of the propelling forces for EFL learners to gradually transform into more skilled, enthusiastic, confident, optimistic, and proactive target language writers.

PROBLEMA: ¿Cómo puede la Teoría de la Complejidad aportar a una concepción liberadora/emancipadora de los sistemas educativos? OBJETIVO: Indagar sobre los conceptos de emancipación y educación liberación desde la transdisciplinariedad y la complejidad. MÉTODO: investigación documental sobre Transdisciplinariedad, Teoría de la Complejidad y autores relacionados al ideal de la educación como liberadora y emancipadora. RESULTADOS: la teoría de la complejidad se ha posicionado como una propuesta importante en los procesos de investigación educativa, y nos invita repensar los procesos y modelos educativos actuales. Desde los conceptos de la transdisciplinariedad y complejidad podemos releer propuestas como las de Paulo Freire y Joseph Jacotot que proponen, cada uno desde su visión propia y su tiempo, una mirada emancipadora y liberadora de la educación. Que invita reinventar el rol de profesor/maestro en los procesos educativos, propone un entendimiento más complejo de su papel y enfocado a la emancipación del estudiante/aprendiz y no una función opresora como administrador de un saber que se le supone en exclusividad. REFLEXIÓN INCONCLUSA: Desde la perspectiva de la teoría de la complejidad, la educación puede verse como un acto liberador al promover la autonomía, el pensamiento crítico y la comprensión situacional. Al empoderar a las personas para comprender y actuar dentro de sistemas complejos, la educación les brinda las herramientas para liberarse de la dependencia y participar activamente en el cambio en sus propias vidas y en la sociedad.
