Two Genetic Algorithms for Identification of Regulatory	Signals
Authors: Stavrovskaya Elena D. , Mironov Andrey A.
Published: February 2025

There exist numerous algorithms for identification of regulatory signals in unaligned DNA fragments. Here we present two genetic algorithms for signal identification and describe their implementation and testing on simulated and real data. The first algorithm selects the start position of the signal in a given fragment. The second one builds a "universal" word that is recognized by the transcription factor. We compare these approaches and study the behavior of the genetic algorithm.
Recognition of Eukaryotic Promoters Using a Genetic Algorithm	Based on Iterative Discriminant Analysis
Authors: Levitsky Victor G. , Katokhin Alexey V.
Published: February 2025

A new approach to recognizing promoter regions of eukaryotic genes is proposed and illustrated by an example of Drosophila melanogaster. The essence of its novelty is in realizing the genetic algorithm to search for optimal partition of a promoter region into local nonoverlapping fragments and selection of the most significant dinucleotide frequencies for the fragments obtained. The method developed was applied to recognizing TATA-containing (TATA+) and DPE-containing (DPE+) promoters of Drosophila melanogaster genes. The program for promoter recognition is included into the GeneExpress system, section RegScan (http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/mgs/programs/proga/).

This is an introduction to a special issue of the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience which contains a series of papers presented at a satellite symposium held in conjunction with the European Forum of Neuroscience, Berlin, July 1-2, 1998, entitled "Visual System Damage: Residual Vision and Plasticity". The symposium highlighted research findings both from animals and humans which sustained brain injury in early development and in adulthood. The findings demonstrate the degree of residual vision the injured brain possesses and summarize the effects of drugs and training on the plasticity of the visual system. As this conference demonstrated, the visual system is able to respond in many ways in an adaptive manner to lesions inflicted early in life and in adulthood. These changes may bring about spontaneous recovery of visual functions as long as the brain contains a sufficient capacity of residual vision. Both in children and in adults, systematic visual training can help patients to regain some visual functions which have previously been considered to be irrevocably lost. By carefully assessing residual vision it is proposed that the potential for plasticity of the visual system can be utilized to achieve clinical improvement using appropriate training paradigms.

Need for Making Cancer a Notifiable Disease in India
Authors: Singh Raja , Frank Arthur L
Published: February 2025

Despite various advocacy measures, the Indian health ministry has not directed the Indian states to make cancer a notifiable disease. The reason given by the ministry is that cancer is not a communicable disease and does not have community spread. India faces a double burden of disease and there has been a rise in cancer cases. The notification of cancer leading to a legal mandate to report cases, will give impetus to the decades-old National Cancer Registry Program. This may enable robust recordkeeping of cancer cases and subsequent policy focus, as has been seen in many developed nations.
Hoffmann’s Syndrome as a Rare Manifestation of Hypothyroidism: Current Views on Mechanisms of Development and Diagnosis
Authors: Mamedova T.I. , Reznichenko K.A. , Timofeev E.V.
Published: February 2025

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders, occurring in at least 5% of the population. The clinical picture of hypothyroidism is often non-specific, and the only complaints of the patient may include muscular symptoms such as stiffness, myalgias, cramps and rapid fatigue. Differential diagnosis in such cases is difficult, requiring the exclusion of many diseases. Meanwhile, late detection of hypothyroidism can lead to complications affecting almost all systems of the body, primarily cardiovascular and nervous. Regarding the musculoskeletal system, hypothyroidism is dangerous due to the risk of rhabdomyolysis, Hoffmann’s syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Although the pathogenesis of hypothyroid myopathy is not fully understood, the presumed mechanisms of muscle tissue destruction are based on a decrease in the oxidative capacity of mitochondria and abnormal glycogenolysis, leading to several metabolic dysfunctions. The clinical and biochemical evaluation of hypothyroid myopathy was based on twenty-four cases described in the English-­language literature from 1975 to 2024. All subjects studied had an elevation of serum creatine phosphokinase (CK). This elevation does not necessarily correlate with the severity of myopathic symptoms and does not explain the cause of the presumed muscle damage. The obligatory clinical manifestation is muscle weakness. Other common clinical manifestations included slowed tendon reflexes with a slow relaxation phase, myalgia, cramps and muscle induration in the absence of muscle hypertrophy and stiffness. Clinical presentation alone is not sufficient to diagnose hypothyroid myopathy, so serum TSH levels should be evaluated in all patients with muscle weakness or elevated CK levels.
Physiological and Pathophysiological Prerequisites for the Reparative Potential of the Epicardium
Authors: Timofeev E.V. , Bulavko Y.E.
Published: February 2025

Cardiovascular diseases, and in particular, myocardial infarction, occupy a dominant place in the structure of mortality and disability worldwide. Long–term complications of a heart attack — myocardial remodeling, chronic heart failure, rhythm disturbances, left ventricular aneurysms significantly reduce the quality of life of patients, increase the level of disability, and finally, lead to serious financial costs. An urgent area of medicine is the search for mechanisms of cardiac regeneration after a myocardial infarction. The assumption about the regenerative potential of the epicardium is based on studying its properties and characteristics. During embryogenesis, the epicardium produces a large number of multipotent progenitor cells of the epicardium, which subsequently undergo epithelial-­mesenchymal transformation. These cells migrate into the thickness of the myocardium and give rise to various cardiac cell types, including cardiomyocytes. The epicardium participates in the synthesis of paracrine factors that ensure the growth of coronary vessels, as well as the differentiation and development of the myocardium as a whole. The mechanisms of myocardial repair being developed are based on various ways to stimulate the activity of the epicardium along the embryonic pathway. The article structures the currently available information on the reparative potential of the epicardium — physiological aspects in embryogenesis, as well as its response to myocardial damage.

Authors: Lim Siphat , Flores Edman , Barnett Casey , Islam Md Monirul
Published: February 2025

The examination of the weekly return behavior of the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) index, spanning from 2012 to 2024, was categorized into two distinct states or regimes using the Markov-Switching Autoregressive model. The research findings indicated that the MS(2)-AR(1) model, which includes two states or regimes and a first-order autoregressive component, was the most suitable model. The empirical results showed that both the first-order lag of the dependent variable and the intercept term had a significant positive effect on the return of the CSX index at a 1% significance level, applicable to both Regime 1 and Regime 2 models. In contrast, the first-order autoregressive variable in the Regime 1 model demonstrated a significant negative effect on the return of the CSX index at the same 1% significance level, a relationship not observed in the Regime 2 model. The empirical results indicated a 38.35% likelihood of the CSX index transitioning from Regime 2 to Regime 1, while the probability of exiting Regime 1 was notably lower at 17.39%, as shown by the probability transition matrix. Additionally, the volatility of the CSX index returns in Regime 2 was found to be greater than that observed in Regime 1.

Sustainability reporting has emerged as a critical area for businesses, governments, and society, reflecting a growing emphasis on transparent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. Despite its importance, there is a limited understanding of bibliometric trends within this field. This study aims to examine recent sustainability reporting studies and explore how bibliometric analysis can shape future research directions. Utilizing a bibliometric approach, we analyzed 2,282 scholarly publications on sustainability reporting from 2010 to 2024, sourced from the Scopus database. VOSviewer software was employed to map and visualize patterns in authorship, countries, journals, keywords, and collaboration networks. The findings reveal a significant upward trend in sustainability reporting publications, especially after 2019, indicating heightened global focus on sustainability issues. The United Kingdom and the United States lead in research contributions, with substantial participation from Italy, Australia, and Germany. Key journals identified include the journal of cleaner production and corporate social responsibility and environmental management. Keyword analysis highlights central themes such as “sustainability reporting,” “global reporting initiative,” and “sustainable development.” Influential authors and collaborative networks were mapped, showcasing the interconnectedness within the research community. The study concludes that while sustainability reporting research has grown notably, many areas remain underexplored. Expanding research to less-focused topics, refining theoretical frameworks, and incorporating diverse stakeholder perspectives are crucial for advancing the field. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the current state of sustainability reporting research and identifies potential areas for future exploration, contributing to the promotion of transparency, accountability, and ethical corporate practices.

Evaluating the Growth of MSMEs within Industrial Infrastructures: Insights from Assam, India
Authors: Das Daisy , Ch Das Tilak
Published: February 2025

This study evaluates the performance and growth patterns of Micro-Small and Medium enterprises (MSMEs) within industrial infrastructures in Assam, focusing on the Kamrup and Kamrup Metro districts. Through a detailed analysis of investment, employment, profitability, and sales trends from 2017 to 2022, the research identifies both opportunities and challenges faced by these enterprises. The findings reveal a decline in employment, particularly among male and unskilled workers, reflecting structural issues in the workforce. Investment in capital assets such as plant and machinery has decreased, while working capital investments remain stable, indicating a focus on liquidity. Profitability shows stable gross profits but shrinking net margins, pointing to rising operational costs. While domestic sales have grown steadily, the absence of international sales highlights missed export opportunities. The role of industrial infrastructure in supporting MSME growth is evident through access to essential services, proximity to markets, and logistical advantages. However, maintenance issues, policy inefficiencies, and limited technological support hinder long-term growth. The study offers policy recommendations aimed at improving infrastructure quality, expanding market access, and promoting sustainable business practices, contributing to the success and sustainability of MSMEs.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the study is to analyse finance controlling as a key factor in case of mergers and acquisitions. It is also to evaluate the quantitative impact of finance controlling on the dynamics of merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions. The research employed the graphic method and cluster analysis to study the dynamics of the global M&A market. Regression analysis was also used to determine the impact of financial controlling and the companies’ M&A process. The results of the regression analysis, in particular the P-value, indicate the statistical significance of the influence of the predictor and confirm the relationship between finance controlling and the M&A market dynamics. In particular, the P-value for the number of transactions model is 0.0001, while for the value of transactions model — 0.0034, which indicates that there is no reason to reject the null hypothesis. This emphasizes the prospects for further study of the issue from a theoretical and practical perspective, in particular regarding the impact of internal controlling and the involvement of digitalization factors. Assessments of finance controlling in various industries and national economies are also important, which will give grounds to provide more reasonable recommendations for effective management in the current economic realities. Further research may focus on a deeper analysis of intra-company controlling and specific performance indicators. One of the areas of further research would be to analyse global statistics by country or economic sector.

Coconut fiber and coconut coir dust can be used to create environmentally friendly packaging. Additionally, recycled corrugated paper can be combined with tapioca starch to bind coconut coir dust and paper. Using these techniques, our objective was to develop a novel process for producing different items with coconut pulp paper and 3D-printed molds. The results indicated that the optimal weight ratios of paper, coconut fiber, and coconut coir dust for a bottle, corner cushion and wrapping cushions were 60:20:20, 60:20:20, and 80:20:0, respectively. The 3D-printed molds were designed with rounded chamfers to facilitate easy extraction of the molded paper. Both the bottle and corner cushions exhibited a tensile strength of 0.53 MPa with 12% NaOH treatment. The wrapping cushion demonstrated the highest flexural strength, at 10.33 MPa with 12% NaOH. Overall, NaOH treatment improved the mechanical properties of the coconut fiber compared to untreated fiber. For compression, the bottle and corner cushions achieved values of 3,196.38 N and 1,550.68 N, respectively. Furthermore, both the bottle and wrapping cushions passed the drop test from a height of 150 centimeters. In Thailand, the coconut industry reports revenues of approximately 4.66 billion THB in 2023 and produces 337 million metric tons of waste. This research demonstrates the great potential of coconut by-products, and the utilization of waste valued at 647 million THB. Future studies could explore innovative mold designs to enable the production of more complex packaging and decorative items, further enhancing the economic and environmental benefits of coconut waste utilization.

INCLUSIVE TOURISM IN TERNOPIL REGION: ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROSPECTS
Authors:   West Ukrainian National University, Danylenko-Kulchytska Viktoriia , Tkach Ulyana ,   West Ukrainian National University
Published: February 2025

The article reviews the key achievements of inclusive tourism development in Ternopil region in recent years and outlines its main problems. It is noted that for modern Ukraine, the problems of inclusion are particularly relevant due to the increase in the number of people affected by the liberation war waged by Ukraine in general and people with disabilities in particular. The integration of people with disabilities into all spheres of modern life, including the hospitality sector, is an important area of activity for many government agencies, public organizations and business representatives, as the success of this integration will serve as a marker of the economic and social well-being of domestic society. The purpose of this study is to consider the practical implementation of barrier-free access in the tourism sector of Ternopil region, taking into account the interests of a separate category of inclusive tourists - people affected by the modern war. Considering the categories of people with special needs to whom barrier-free tourism programs should be directed, it is advisable to classify them into three groups, separately highlighting the category of people who have suffered from Russian armed aggression. It has been proven that inclusive tourists are influenced by three interdependent institutions: government bodies, society and hospitality enterprises. The impact of these institutions on tourists in the Ternopil region has been studied. It has been found that inclusive tourism in the Ternopil region is developing in accordance with the National Government Strategy for Creating a Barrier-Free Space in Ukraine and is mainly implemented by the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Ternopil Regional Military Administration, the Ukrainian Cultural Fund and public organizations of Ternopil. In particular, the Ternopil City Council has developed an action plan that provides for ways and steps that will be taken to ensure the accessibility of the city for all citizens, including persons with disabilities. However, it is worth noting that the region's hospitality businesses (accommodation and catering establishments) are not sufficiently accessible to people with disabilities. The issues of organizing barrier-free catering and accommodation establishments in the Ternopil region require improvement and attention from both business and local authorities.

Teachers in the twenty-first century need to be digitally literate in order to raise the calibre of instruction. According to a scenario analysis conducted at SMAN 1 Sindue Tobata, over 80% of instructors require training in the development of ICT and website-based learning materials since doing so lowers student involvement and the quality of instruction. Teachers were given extensive training to enable them to build and utilise digital learning resources in order to solve this problem. Because of this, over 90% of the trainees were able to develop online and ICT platforms to provide engaging and useful learning materials. As a result, this training not only helps instructors meet their skill demands, but it also greatly enhances the teaching and learning process in the digital age. For the training programme to continue supporting teachers' professional growth in the future, sustainability is crucial. This project, financed by the Directorate of Research, Technology and Community Service (DRTPM), with contract number Manual.164/E5/DT.05.00.2024, is to assist in the enhancement of the quality of instruction.

Entrepreneurship has an important role in economic and social development and is a strategic tool for countries that want to achieve economic independence. In Indonesia, one of the efforts to increase entrepreneurship is carried out through entrepreneurship development programs in Islamic boarding schools, such as those implemented at the Al-Umm Aswaja Islamic Boarding School. However, lack of motivation and limited entrepreneurial practices are obstacles. To overcome this, Creative Thinking and Ecoprint training was implemented as a solution to generate interest in entrepreneurship among students. The results of the analysis show that these two trainings succeeded in increasing students' understanding and interest in entrepreneurship, with the Ecoprint training providing a more significant impact. In conclusion, this training program is effective in encouraging students to plan and start businesses, thereby contributing to the development of entrepreneurship and creating economic opportunities in the Islamic boarding school community.

Solar power plants are efficient and environmentally friendly sources of renewable energy. Previously, a solar power plant with a capacity of 6 x 100 Wp had been installed at the Al-Ikhlas Orphan Boarding School, Singosari District, Malang Regency, but the power produced was not optimal. Therefore, the addition of solar modules with a capacity of 4 x 100 Wp is carried out. It is necessary to design and analyze solar power plants using pvsyst software to find out how effective the addition of solar panels is so that the total capacity is 10 x 100 Wp. This research includes the design and simulation of solar panels to optimize the system configuration, including the placement of solar panels, tilt angles, and orientation. The analysis is carried out by taking into account location data, equipment specifications, and local environmental conditions. The results of the study show that the design value of solar power plants using PVSYST software is: average annual radiation of 870 kWh/m², temperature value of 24.99°C, PV input power of 1667.2 Watts, output power of 1595.4 Watts, performance ratio of solar power plant 0.809, and efficiency value of 18.8%. After testing in the field, an average efficiency was obtained in sunny weather of 15.47% with an average voltage of 31.62 V, current of 20.03 A, and power of 651.18 Watts. The addition of solar modules significantly improves the energy production and efficiency of solar PV.

The Community Service (CS) program took place in Sumberingin Kidul Village, Ngunut District, Tulungagung Regency, approximately 100 km southwest of Malang City. The target group for this program includes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in koi fish spawning. Our partners face several challenges, primarily the reliance on aeration pumps powered by the national electricity grid (PLN) to supply oxygen to the ponds. The program aimed to install a 100 Wp solar panel system to generate clean energy for a low-voltage aeration pump, helping to maintain optimal oxygen levels in the pond and supporting healthy fish growth. The program successfully implemented this solar-powered aerator pump system in the pond area, providing an innovative, sustainable solution that empowers the community by integrating science and technology into fisheries. It is hoped that this program will inspire other fish farmers in Tulungagung and surrounding areas to adopt similar sustainable practices.
