Authors: Chernogor L. F. , Nekos A. N. , Titenko G. V. , Chornohor L. L.
Published: October 2022

Purpose is quantitative estimation of the mass of emissions of combustion products, chemical elements, the energy and power of acoustic and thermal radiation caused by the forests large tracts burning in the Northern Hemisphere.

Methods. Analytical review of investigation problem, theoretical and computational, numerical modeling, system analysis.

Results. It was found that large-scale fires in the Northern Hemisphere in 2020 had catastrophic ecological consequences. The greatest contribution was made by the burning of forests in Russia and the USA. Ecosystems were affected on an area of about 15 million hectares. About 3,5 Gt of wood was irretrievably lost. About 140 Mt of smoke and more than 10 Mt of soot were emitted into the atmosphere. The mass of the injected CO gas was about 350 Mt. The mass of hydrocarbons emitted into the atmosphere was about 140 Mt. About 7,8 Gt of CO2 gas was additionally emitted into the atmosphere. Hundreds of megatons of atomic nitrogen, hundreds of tons of potassium and calcium, as well as from units to tens of tons of such chemical elements as Fe, Zn, Cr, Br, Mn, Pb, Rb, Sr and Se have been emitted into the atmosphere. The energy of acoustic radiation was about 100 PJ, which is almost a thousand times higher than its energy under normal conditions. The energy of weakly damped infrasonic radiation was 1–10 PJ. The thermal radiation flux density reached 56–160 kW/m2. Even after the distribution of forest combustion products around the globe, their concentration exceeded the concentration under normal conditions. This primarily applies to smoke, soot and carbon monoxide. The economic damage amounted to about 750 billion US Dollars. Dozens of people died and were injured. Material and moral damage has been caused to many thousands of people. Material and moral damage caused to many thousands of people.

Conclusions. The ecological consequences of the forests large tracts burning of Northern Hemisphere in 2020 for the planet became a kind of record.
The Pollen of Plants of the Shrub Layer in the Urban Green Space as an Indicator of the State of Atmospheric Air of the City (on the Example of Representatives of the Genus Forsythia)
Authors: Matiashuk R. K. , Tkachenko I. V.
Published: October 2022

It is especially important to assess the potential mutagenicity of the air environment in the area of active life and human respiration. In our opinion, perennial shrub plants are the most informative objects of such research.

Purpose. Study of the sensitivity of the male haploid generation Forsythia suspensa Vahl. to the state of atmospheric air of Kyiv in the surface layer; the prospects of using this species to indicate the quality of atmospheric air and assess possible risks to public health.

Methods. Fields, statistical. The state of the generative sphere of F. suspense was determined by fertility and morphometric parameters of pollen, determination of the index of shape and proportion of abnormal grains in the population of non-hydrated pollen.

Results. It is established that the pollen of F. suspense is sensitive to a complex of exogenous factors of the growing environment in the park ecosystems of Kyiv. The statistical significance of the complex influence of plant growing factors and weather conditions on the variability of F. suspensa pollen quality traits and its sizes has been confirmed. There is a greater influence of air pollutants in the surface layer of atmospheric air on the size of the equatorial diameter of the pollen grains of this plant species. Introduction of restrictive anti-epidemic measures in 2020 and 2021 has reduced the level of integrated air pollution in most of the studied areas of the capital. These changes in the conditions of the growing environment, especially in the absence of the influence of the developed network of highways, affected the share of abnormal grains in pollen populations in the studied areas.

Conclusions. The expediency of further use of plants of F. suspensa to assess the state of the environment on a toxic-mutagenic background and zoning of park ecosystems on a gradient of anthropogenic impact is noted. Complementing the results of bioindication studies using, in particular, F. suspensa pollen, information on the state of health of the population and data on air pollution increases the effectiveness of indicating the state of the environment in Kyiv
On exact controllability and complete stabilizability for linear systems
Authors: Rabah Rabah
Published: October 2022

In this paper we consider linear systems with control described by the equation $\dot x = \mathcal A x +\mathcal B u$ where functions u and x take values in U and X respectively. For such object, a short review of results concerning relations between exact controllability and complete stabilizability (stabilizability with arbitrary decay rate) is given. The analysis is done in various situations: bounded or unbounded state and control operators $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$, Banach or Hilbert spaces U and X. The well known equivalence between complete controllability and pole assignment in the situation of finite dimensional spaces is no longer true in general in infinite dimensional spaces. Exact controllability is not sufficient for complete stabilizability if U and X are Banach spaces. In Hilbert space setting this implication holds true. The converse also is not so simple: in some situations, complete stabilizability implies exact controllability (Banach space setting with bounded operators), in other situation, it is not true. The corresponding results are given with some ideas for the proofs. Complete technical development are indicated in the cited literature. Several examples are given. Special attention is paid to the case of infinite dimensional systems generated by delay systems of neutral type in some general form (distributed delays). The question of the relation between exact null controllability and complete stabilizability is more precisely investigated. In general there is no equivalence between the two notions. However for some classes of neutral type equations there is an equivalence. The question how the equivalence occurs for more general systems is still open. This is a short and non exhaustive review of some research on control theory for infinite dimensional spaces. Our works in this area were initiated by V. I. Korobov during the 70th of the past century in Kharkov State University.
The Use of Mannose-Grafted and Lipopetide-Conjugated PE Liposomes in the Delivery of Docetaxel for the Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme: A Research Protocol
Authors: Gupta Cheshta , Krishnan Medha Radhamma
Published: October 2022

Introduction: One of the biggest obstacles in delivering anti-cancer drugs to brain tumours is the penetration of the blood-brain barrier. Docetaxel is a promising drug used for glioblastoma multiforme that works by promoting mitotic arrest and cell death of tumorous cells, yet it encounters this obstacle presented by the selectivity of the blood-brain barrier. Due to the barrier’s highly selective nature and the imprecision of current cancer treatments, the use of nanoparticles in drug delivery has been an area of significant interest. To address these issues, we propose using mannose and lipopeptide-grafted phosphatidylethanolamine liposomes as a drug delivery mechanism to effectively eliminate the obstacle of penetrating the blood-brain barrier in the treatment of glioblastomas. The truncated fibroblast growth factor and GALA lipopeptides increase the precision of the chemotherapeutic agent in targeting the tumour cells. Simultaneously, the mannose allows the nanoparticle to be recognized by sugar receptors on the blood-brain barrier, enabling it to pass through. This novel drug delivery system broadens the variety and increases the effectiveness of anti-tumoral drugs used in the treatment of brain cancer.
Methods: The lipopeptides are prepared through pyridyl disulfide reactions. The phosphatidylethanolamine liposomes are prepared using standard thin-film hydration in which the lipopeptides, docetaxel, and calcein (to track the drug delivery) are incorporated into the liposomal lumen. Mannose is then grafted onto the liposomal surfaces through the covalent coupling of p-aminophenyl-D-glycosides to phosphatidylethanolamine liposomes. The synthesized liposomes would be administered intravenously alongside radiation. Statistical analyses will be conducted to measure the growth of the tumour and the accuracy of drug delivery.
Discussion: The tumour cells should display a greater level of fluorescence, indicating a more accurate administration of the drug. It is expected that the patients will respond favourably to the treatment with the tumorous tissues showing a reduced growth rate and greater bioavailability of the drug.
Conclusion: The liposomal drug delivery mechanism presents a novel method by which anti-tumoral drugs can both cross the blood-brain barrier and precisely target the tumorous mass, thereby reducing the risk of drugs getting lost within the vasculature and expanding the horizons for brain tumour prognoses.
"Just give me some space". The contributions of income, mothers' stress and children's screen use to child behaviour problems.
Authors:   , Monk Jaimie
Published: October 2022

Parental income is positively associated with nearly every measure of child wellbeing. However, there is little quality evidence, especially in the New Zealand context, on how income affects children via its effects on parenting behaviour.

 The first two years of a child’s life are critical and the most effective time to target policy interventions. Therefore, this study draws on the data from 6,852 children in the Growing Up in New Zealand Study that covers the first two years of life and highlights those intervention pathways with potential to reduce gaps between children of high- and low-income families.

Results show that adequate household income has a small direct protective effect against child behaviour problems. However, lower maternal stress has a much greater effect and maternal stress is negatively associated with adequate household income. Child screen use is also an important, and currently unaddressed, pathway linking income, stress and child behaviour. The associations between the relevant pathways are explored in a series of regression models: Gelbach’s decomposition is employed to show the mediation relationships between key variables and control variables, an instrumental variable approach is adopted to isolate causality, and a Heckman correction is used to address selection effects following multiple imputation of item non-response.
Helping Chinese designers understand colour meaning and communicate with clients about colour choices.
Authors:   , Lu Danlan
Published: October 2022

Although colour can be seen everywhere in our life, it should be noted that everyone has a different perception of what colour means. This may be due to local culture, living environment, and religious beliefs (Mislsa & Liu, 2012). This makes it difficult for designers to let their clients understand the reasons behind the colour choices in their designs. This research thesis examines colour communication between Chinese designers and clients in a contemporary context. Through interviews and workshops with Chinese designers, I learn about communication problems and explore concepts to improve communicate the meaning of colours with clients.
ABORDAGENS PEDAGÓGICAS: UM ESTUDO DOS CONCEITOS DE LIBÂNEO E MIZUKAMI PARA PENSAR A RELAÇÃO ENTRE PROFESSOR E ALUNO NO ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors: KAUFFMANN DA SILVA KAREN , SCHMIDT LEONETE LUZIA
Published: October 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo conhecer alguns dos conceitos, classificações e apontamentos relacionados às abordagens pedagógicas de Libâneo (1985) e Mizukami (1986) e sua implicação na relação professor aluno no ensino superior. Para tanto foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica de natureza exploratória. Que de acordo com Trivinos (1967) tem o objetivo de delimitar e proporcionar um manejo seguro de determinada teoria. Parte-se de uma hipótese e se aprofunda o estudo no limite de uma realidade específica, buscando maior conhecimento a partir de uma revisão de literatura. A vantagem do caráter exploratório, segundo Lakatos e Marconi (2010), está no número de informações coletadas e na facilidade de análise por parte de outros pesquisadores. O resultado evidencia que a relação entre professor e aluno é definida a partir de uma abordagem pedagógica constituída por sua visão de mundo. Nela está incluída a forma como aprendeu e vivenciou o seu próprio processo educativo, seu o contexto histórico, cultural e político. Em cada situação que vive, o professor se aproxima ou se afasta de determinada tendência, podendo utilizá-las inclusive de forma conjunta, mesmo que, muitas vezes, sem um conhecimento prévio ou aprofundado dos estudos das abordagens pedagógicas.
O EDUCADOR GOVERNANTE E A FORMAÇÃO SOCIAL DO INDIVÍDUO EM EMÍLIO OU DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: DA SILVA LOPES KALOCZI JULIANA , BETLINSKI CARLOS
Published: October 2022

Neste artigo analisa-se o lugar do educador no contexto da pedagogia rousseauniana e tem-se como objeto de investigação a obra Emílio ou Da Educação (1762). Os objetivos propostos são a caracterização da pedagogia natural e a caracterização do papel do educador governante no processo de formação moral e política do indivíduo. Adotou-se, como método de pesquisa, a hermenêutica aplicada aos estudos bibliográficos, que além da obra supracitada, amparou-se também em livros de comentadores do filósofo Rousseau. Como resultados da discussão, observou-se que o pensador genebrino propôs uma pedagogia inovadora para seu tempo, na medida em que revoluciona a relação entre educador e educando e entre educação e sociedade, vínculos estes que são evidenciados em nossas análises. Inaugurador da chamada pedagogia natural, o filósofo alvitra uma reaproximação entre a educação e a condição natural de liberdade do educando e a formação moral e política para vida na sociedade democrática, mediada pelo educador governante.

Published: October 2022

Informar, desmistificar conceitos, quebrar tabus e combater preconceitos, são práticas de responsabilidade social de toda uma sociedade, mas sobretudo da escola, que por sua característica acolhedora, influenciadora e reflexiva, inegavelmente promove encontros e discussões dos mais variados núcleos e caracterizações humanas. Em seu contexto cotidiano regular, a escola abrange em seu dia a dia, aspectos sócio comportamentais, emocionais, étnicos-raciais, econômicos, de gênero e de sexualidade e, portanto, a adoção de posturas de combate ao preconceito e de valorização da inclusão da diversidade em suas variadas dimensões, mostram-se cada vez mais relevantes e urgentes, indo ao encontro de demandas pela busca por direitos de igualdade e oportunidades, anseios esses, tão buscados em nossa sociedade atual. Pensando em contribuir, identificar e reconhecer condutas pedagógicas que promovam a ampliação e a conscientização da diversidade sexual e de gênero, buscamos demonstrar, por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica, que a escola pode ser um local promovedor ao enfrentamento de preconceitos e do bullying, capaz de romper barreiras sócio comportamentais historicamente construídas.

O presente artigo objetiva identificar e socializar a potencialidade e impacto social dos cursinhos populares na democratização do acesso ao ensino universitário e, também, na concretização do projeto de vida de jovens periféricos. Para tanto buscou-se compreender o processo de formação na educação básica, a projeção do projeto de vida e o ingresso no ensino superior. A pesquisa assume caráter qualitativo ao se propor analisar as relações a partir dos contextos sociais explicitados nas narrativas e nas perspectivas dos colaboradores. Participaram da pesquisa nove sujeitos que passaram por cursinhos populares e se dispuseram contribuir com nossas reflexões. As narrativas desvelam que os cursinhospopulares impactam na vida desses sujeitos através da horizontalidade do ensino e da construção de identidades socioculturais. A pesquisa sinaliza que os cursinhos populares ao contribuírem para mitigar as deficiências da educação básica pública, apresentam potencial de contribuir efetivamente com estudantes, cujo projeto de vida é ingressar no ensino superior. No entanto, denuncia, também, a urgência da necessidade do aperfeiçoamento de políticas públicas na educação básica, buscando um aprimoramento da educação pública, no intuito de formar sujeitos capazes de fazerem escolhas e de ingressar no ensino superior sem depender dos cursinhos populares.

Authors: Fajri Iwan , Budimansyah Dasim , Komalasari Kokom
Published: October 2022

This paper aimed to analyze digital citizenship in civic education learning, focusing on the practice and implications of digital citizenship in civic education learning. This article provided a systematic review of 41 selected articles from the SCOPUS database of digital citizenship in civic education learning by analyzing content as a methodology for assessing the practice and implications of citizenship in civic education learning. The review identified the practice of digital citizenship in civic education learning from the dimensions of respecting, educating, and appreciating the practice of citizenship. The results of the literature review analysis revealed that the practice of digital citizenship is often used in political participation, democratic participation, citizen involvement, and being a citizen in the digital era. The implications of digital citizenship in civic education learning were still centered on materials such as politics, democracy, and citizen involvement. Another implication was that students, teachers, and curriculum are the most critical aspects of digital citizenship in the future. Some literature tries to carry out this study. Civic education is the central pillar in promoting digital citizenship in schools and the community.
Genesis and spatio-temporal analysis of glacial lakes in the peri-glacial environment of Western Himalayas
Authors: SİDDİQUE Fareeha , RAHMAN Atta-ur
Published: October 2022

Glaciers are retreating in the highest mountainous regions of the world, like Himalayan region as a result of climate change and global warming. This leads to the formation of different types of glacial lakes. These lakes are not only the source of fresh water but it also causes disaster in the form of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF). Astore Drainage Basin is located in north eastern mountainous region of Himalayas. This area is prone to GLOFs because of the increasing number of glacial lakes and the growth of existing lakes as a result of global warming. To provide a detailed information about the spatial and temporal information of glacial lakes detailed inventories has been developed for the study area using Landsat images for the year 1989, 1999, 2009 and 2019. Glacial lakes were mapped and identified by using Normalized Different Water Index, Normalized Difference Snow Index and high-resolution Google Earth images. It was found from the analysis that the number of the glacial lakes increased from 120 to 128 in a period of thirty years (i.e., from 1989 to 2019). During the study period two lakes disappeared whereas ten new lakes were formed. There were 21 lakes which show area expansion more than 100% representing high susceptibility for GLOF. The results also showed that smaller lakes expanded more rapidly in area than the larger lakes.

The Covid-19 epidemic has adversely affected the world in terms of health, education, economic, tourism, social and psychological. During to the epidemic, different measures were taken to prevent the epidemic, such as travel bans, curfews, stopping in production. These measures have reduced and improved air pollution. Within the scope of this study, the change in air pollution in Kocaeli between 2019 and 2021 was examined monthly. PM10 and SO2 maps were created with inverse distance weighted (IDW) technique using geographic information systems technology (GIS). The year 2020, when Covid-19 measures were taken, was compared with 2019 and 2021. Change maps were created by taking the difference between 2020-2019 and 2021-2020 with GIS technology. As a result of the research, it was determined that the level of air pollution decreased in 2020. On the contrary, in 2021, an increase in air pollution levels was observed. In the study, a decrease was observed in PM10 concentration during the Covid-19 lockdowns, however a decrease was not observed for SO2.

THE DOCUMENTARY EPIC AND THE AVANT-GARDE PROJECT OF LIFE-BUILDING
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Fomenko Andrey N.
Published: October 2022

The article focuses on a trend in the Soviet avant-garde art, that emerged in the late 1920s and was based on the use of large-scale forms (such as a photo series, photo mural, “bio-interview”, etc). This turn got the most complete theoretical justification in Sergei Tretyakov, who proposed the concept of “documentary epic”, suggesting that it grew out of utilitarian genres. According to Andrey Fomenko, the documentary epic with its archaic and regressive connotations was a natural result of the evolution of the avant-garde movement and its program of “life-building”, in particular.
THE FUNCTION OF THE DEVIL IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION: “THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV” AND THE SERIES “LUCIFER” BY NETFLIX
Authors:   University of Debrecen, Molnar Angelika
Published: October 2022

The paper is devoted to the analysis of similar images of the traits in Dostoevsky's novel ''The Brothers Karamazov'' and in Fox – Netflix's series ''Lucifer''. At the same time, the elements that make up the detective layer of the verbal and the visual work are demonstrated. The basis for comparing the products of high and mass culture is created not only by the forms of murder investigations, but also by their transformation into self-reflection. Devilish figures in both cases become humanized, which allows to look at them from a new point of view. They are hereby considered in the context of the conceptualization of sinfulness, the commission of a crime. The author of the paper also touches upon both the issue of moving the fantastic layer into reality, and the presentation of deep philosophical problems in the form of criminal investigation. It turns out that both in a literary work and in a television / streaming production, the techniques of the detective novel are promoted to the background due to the predominance of Christian ideology and creative poetization.
PRAGMATICS OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS IN THE STRUCTURES OF PRONOUN COMPLEXES AND DIALOG UNITIES
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kulpina Valentina G.
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to pronoun complexes on the base of personal pronouns, which at present traditionally are not usually singled out as autonomic language units. Nevertheless many things indicate their particular status in the vocabulary as well as in lexical system. So this way the status of such formation (created on the base of personal pronouns) as the units of the speech are confirmed by constancy of their function’s spheres, the connection to communication’s situation, frequency of their use and by some other factors. Among the analyzed units in the article are presented pronoun complexes on the base of pronoun subject, units of symbolic character, popular expressions (pithy sayings), phraseology of syntactical type etc. There is marked the role of units of such kind for the stylistic shape of speech and their value in the connection to ethnolinguistic tradition. There is underlined that such pronoun units’ inscription to dictionaries as a standing by itself vocables or subvocables are mostly expedient and advisable. There is used also comparison stratum of lexis – functional correspond units from the near related Slavic area.

THE PERSON AS A MODUS SUBJECT OF AN EXPLANATORY CONSTRUCTION IN THE MEDIA LANGUAGE
Authors:   Yaroslav the Wise Novgorod State University, Shmeleva Tatiana V.
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes Russian explanatory sentences, understood as a semantic type characterized by a combination of dictum and modus propositions. Each of them has a number of constructive embodiments, the technique of their connection varies, which generally determines a significant range of explanatory constructions – from a simple sentence (with and without introductory words) to a complex one – complex and non-union. Observations are being made on the language of the Russian media. The object of attention is the position of the modus subject. It is revealed that it is replaced in media texts not only by designations of persons (pronouns or personal nouns), which is trivial, but also by three types of non-personal nouns – the names of media institutions, power structures and social institutions. Such facts, illustrated by examples from the media texts of a number of publications (Kommersant, Izvestia, Fontanka.ru, Ogonyok, etc.), indicate that the explanatory construction in media speech opens up for stylistics, in particular, for regular action of metonymy (author / editorial board, authority / its locus, etc.). This circumstance is interpreted against the background of general judgments about the gender of metonymy and metonymic thinking in the modern media sphere.
TRENDS IN REPLACING RUSSIAN NOMINATIONS OF PERSONS WITH DIMINUTIVES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Fufaeva Irina V.
Published: October 2022

This article discusses the Russian nominations of persons that are diminutives that have lost their diminutiveness, for example, tenant, bespectacled, beginner, girl. Some of these units at different times supplanted their usual correlates, cf. “I on spokojno uchilsya, etot bezzabotnyj ochkar’…” (“And he calmly studied, this carefree bespectacled…”), Boris Gorbatov, “My Generation” 1933. Lost correlates can be identified with the help of dictionaries and sources. The other part continues to compete with them, cf. a competing grandfather-grandfather pair. In the replacement of nominations of persons by diminutive correlates, certain tendencies can be identified: such a replacement correlates with a certain semantics of denotation. Specifically, the vocabulary under consideration refers to terms of kinship, designations of children, women (cf. the word granddaughter, which is included in all these groups), persons with a reduced status for one reason or another (cf. beggar). For the terms of kinship, designations of children and women, one can assume endearment, including, perhaps, etiquette, as a shade of expression (connotation) that is lost now, but inherent in them in the past. For the designations of persons with reduced status, one can assume an initial condescension and disdain.
THE MAIN “PUSH FACTORS” BEHIND MIGRATORY MOVEMENT OF THE ARMENIANS TO RUSSIA IN THE NEW AND MODERN TIMES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sharueva Marina V.
Published: October 2022

The article presents the main milestones in the history of the Armenians’ migration to the territory of Russia in the modern and postmodern era. Stating that the main migration causes were of a military-political and economic nature, the author analyzes the events that make up the migration history of the Armenian people in the New and Modern times from a legal point of view. The author pays special attention to the repatriation institution in the context of the “Armenian dispersion” history, including in the Soviet period (the second half of the 1940s – early 1950s). The history of the Armenian resettlement to Russia and the formation of the Armenian Diaspora here is reconstructed in close connection with the analysis of such Russian historical plots fundamental to the fate of Armenia as the wars for Transcaucasia, Russia’s patronage of the same-religion people and its resettlement policy, the work of Russian diplomacy in Transcaucasia in the 19th century, the Armenian Genocide of 1915, etc. The author considers the relationship between Armenians and their neighbors in the region who profess Islam to be the key plot of the study. The author attempts to identify the main causes of the centuries-old tragic conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, while the author places that conflict in a migration historical context.
RUSSIA-TURKEY COOPERATION WITHIN THE TURKISH STREAM PROJECT
Authors:   Azerbaijan University of Languages, Imanova Samira A. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: October 2022

Cooperation within the framework of the Turkish Stream project, which provides for the export of Russian gas to Europe through Turkey is discussed in the article. The author studies the conditions of creation, the essence and advantages of the project and analyzes the interests of the participating countries as well as evaluates the benefits that the countries of Southern Europe should receive during its implementation. In the article is noted that within the framework of the project, it was planned to build two gas pipelines, one of which provided for meeting the energy needs of Turkey, and the other for Europe. At the same time, the route of Russian gas supplies to Europe via the gas pipeline following Turkey became the subject of a dispute between Greece and Bulgaria. In the article a conclusion is is also made that TANAP, one of the key elements of the Southern Gas Transportation Corridor, is not an alternative to the Turkish Stream project. The author notes the high geostrategic significance of the Turkish Stream project, its contribution to ensuring energy security not only of the initiator states, but also of the countries that subsequently joined the project. Thus, according to the author, the project played a significant role not only in the development of energy interaction between the two countries, but also created conditions for broad regional cooperation.
DRUG SITUATION IN KYRGYZSTAN
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Public Information  on Social Sciences, Kudayarov Kanybek A.
Published: October 2022

New geopolitical realities, which led to the fragmentation of the once unified Soviet state, exposed the borders of the newly formed republics of the southern flank of the post-Soviet space. The proximity to Afghanistan and the availability of a developed transport infrastructure predetermined the further development of drug trafficking coming from Afghanistan in the northern direction. Decades of Afghan drug trafficking have led to significant changes in the Kyrgyz Republic, having a direct impact on all spheres of life of the young state. The rapid growth of crimes related to the storage, transportation and sale of narcotic drugs, the strengthening of the drug mafia, obtaining political patronage in government and law enforcement agencies, a multiple increase in drug addicts, the spread of HIV/AIDS, threatening the gene pool of the republic, overnight elevated that issue to the rank of threats on a national scale. Exactly the same situation arose in neighboring countries, where the increase in criminality was accompanied by the emergence of new challenges and threats to state security from drug cartels financing the activities of terrorist and extremist organizations throughout the post-Soviet space. Under the circumstances, it was only through the collective efforts of States that it was possible to effectively contain the common threat posed by drug trafficking. International organizations that came to the region in the early 1990s and in the 2000s were able to turn the situation in their favor and prevent a further increase in drug expansion from the south.
ESTIMATION OF EFFECT ON GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OF PRODUCTION FACTORS USING CES AND TRANSLOG PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS: AN APPLICATION TO CHINA ECONOMY
Authors: ÖNALAN Ömer , BAŞEĞMEZ Hülya
Published: October 2022

In this study, the effects on the economic growth (GDP) of capital, labor and energy input factors for the Chinese economy are investigated with the help of the CES and Translog production functions. According to the empirical findings of the study, it can be said that the GDP data obtained using the CES production function are less efficient than the estimates obtained using the Translog production function. The Ridge regression technique was used for parameter estimation of Translog production model since there is multicollinearity between the variables in the model. The output elasticities and the substitution elasticities between each input factor are then dynamically estimated, based on the appropriate Translog production model that includes the capital, labor and energy input factors. In addition, the inputs of the Translog production model were estimated using the Holt-Winter's method to predict the future economic growth of the Chinese economy. Consequently, output elasticities of all input factors are positive, and we can rank the input factors as labor, capital and energy according to their degree of impact on GDP, respectively. This shows that the Chinese economy is labor and capital intensive.

Rationale. The need to find the most effective ways to restore liver function in cirrhosis. Goal. To evaluate the effectiveness of using cellular technologies in liver cirrhosis in an experiment.Materials and methods. The experiment included 132 individuals of c57black mice aged 12 to 18 weeks. All individuals are divided into 5 groups (30 individuals in group’s №1– №3, №5 and 12 individuals in group №4). Individuals of group 5 were removed from the experiment before it began in order to determine the normal weight of the liver and spleen. A model of liver cirrhosis was created for individuals of groups 1– 4. Group 4 individuals were removed from the experiment 30 days after the model was formed to confirm the presence of liver cirrhosis. Individuals of group 1 were given intravenous stem cells. Individuals of group 2 were intraportally injected with stem cells. Individuals of group 3 were not injected with stem cells. Changes in all three groups were evaluated 30 days after cell therapy.Results. Against the background of cell therapy, the greatest decrease in liver mass is observed in group 2 (intraportal administration of stem cells), where the liver mass exceeds normal values by 7%. In second place is group 1 (intravenous administration of stem cells), where the liver mass is higher than normal by 17%. In group 3, the liver mass exceeds normal values by 25.3%. The spleen mass 30 days after the application of cell technologies in the second group differed from normal values by 0.01 g; in group 1-by 0.06 g; in group 3-by 0.1 g. The level of total protein 30 days after the introduction of stem cells in group 1 increased by 5.9%; in group 2 by 28.8%; in group 3 by 1.1%. Albumin levels increased by 11% in group 1, 33.8% in group 2, and remained unchanged in group 3. The ALT level in group 1 decreased by 32.3%, in group 2 by 48.1%, and in group 3 remained unchanged. The AST level decreased by 7% in group 1, by 25.9% in group 2, and remained unchanged in group 3. Indicators of alkaline phosphatase decreased by 3.9% in group 1, by 14.3% in group 2, and did not improve in group 3.Conclusion. The use of cellular technologies in liver cirrhosis contributes to a faster recovery of liver function when intraportal introduction of cellular structures.

The article presents review data of domestic and foreign scientific researchers on etiopathogenesis and clinical picture of chronic dermatosis - microbial eczema. Among chronic skin diseases, microbial eczema accounts for about 40%. According to the results of epidemiological studies, the incidence of microbial eczema among the inhabitants of the Russian Federation ranges from 6.0 to 15 cases per 1,000 people, which indicates a wide spread of this disease. The urgency of studying ME is conditioned by the persistent tendency to an earlier debut of the disease, weighting of the clinical picture, an increase in the number of relapses, and the spread of the pathological process on the skin. It should be noted that resistance to traditional methods of treatment used in microbial eczema is becoming more and more common. The above factors are the basis for further in-depth study of dermatosis and search for new effective treatment methods.

Objectives: The present study examines the critical care nurse’s knowledge, attitudes, practice (KAP), and decision-making related to early assessment and management of sepsis.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized a convenience sample of 70 nurses working in a college hospital in the northern region of Jordan. Data were gathered employing a sepsis vignette and valid questionnaires via Google document. The nursing decision-making instrument and the knowledge, attitudes, and practice survey were utilized to assess nurses’ decision-making skills, knowledge, attitudes, and practice, respectively. Nurses’ sociodemographic/professional data, including gender, marital status, experience, education, and work environment, were also measured.

Result: The participating nurses reported poor KAP, and analytical decision-making skills related to sepsis management. Experienced nurses and those with a master’s degree reported significantly better KAP, and intuitive decision-making skills than naïve and those with a bachelor’s degree. Nurses with analytical decision-making modes reported higher levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practice than nurses with intuitive or flexible analytical-intuitive decision-making modes.

Conclusion: Poor decision-making skills, as well as knowledge, attitudes, and practice related to sepsis assessment and management, is a substantial problem that demands a productive re-evaluation of the current sepsis management practices. Boosting the knowledge and improving the practices on sepsis assessment and management through comprehensive educational programs and campaigns are necessary to improve nurses’ decision-making skills.

ABSTRACT

Background:

Programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2) is overexpressed in several tumors, and is associated with cancer progression and patient prognosis. Our study was aimed to investigate the clinical and prognostic significance of PD-L2 in hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer via meta-analysis.

Methods:

The PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar were searched till March 4, 2021 for relevant literature published in English. The articles selected based on the pre-defined criteria were further screened and evaluated. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) are used to evaluate the effect of PD-L2 level on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The relationship between PD-L2 and pathological characteristics was evaluated in terms of the odds ratio (OR). Publication bias was checked.

Results:

Eight studies published from 2007 to 2019 were selected for the meta-analysis including 1725 patients. Our results indicated the high level of PD-L2 correlated positively with shorter OS (HR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.48–2.10, P < 0.00001) and worse DFS (HR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.40–2.48, P < 0.0001).PD-L2 level was positively correlated with larger tumors (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.22–3.15, P = 0.005) and worse Barcelona (BCLC) stage (0–A and B–C groups, HR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.34–0.94, p = 0.03), but not with other factors. No obvious publication bias was detected.

Conclusion:

PD-L2 overexpression may predict worse OS and DFS in hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer, and is correlated to tumor size and BCLC stage.
