Authors: Karima Yaici , Dhamna Saliha , Toumi Mohamed
Published: March 2020

This study aims to know the natural heritage of the Tamentout forest through a floristic inventory made in several cantons and to evaluate the uses of traditional medicine in the Sétifian Tell, by conducting an ethnobotanical study at the level of several localities in the region. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the listed flora identified 101 plant species, which are divided into 38 families and 97 genera. An important representation of the Asteraceae (19%), Fabaceae and Lamiaceae families (11%) are noted. The floristic study emphasizes the presence of several biological types, with a codominance of hemicryptophytes (with 42%) and therophytes (31%). The Mediterranean floristic element constitutes the most important chorological ensemble (52%). The ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 82 informants, with a total of 290 questionnaire cards. All the results were processed by statistical processing software: Excel 2007 and IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. These results showed that the leaves are the most used part (43%) and that the methods of use are prepared in the form of infusion (25%), poultices (18%), and decoction (11%). The most common forms of use are herbal tea (46%), powder (25%), and essential oil (19%). The oral route is the most widely used route of administration (51%). The most common pathologies are those of the digestive system (20%) and the respiratory system (18%). This study made it possible to identify the diversity of the flora of the Tamentout South Slope forest and list its traditional care and consequently to contribute to the conservation of the Mediterranean pharmacopeia that is being lost.

Published: March 2020

Nepeta is one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae, which is widely distributed in Iran. Several species of the genus are traditionally used as culinary, industrial, and medicinal plants. In the present study, we examined fourteen qualitative and quantitative pollen morphological characters of twenty-four populations of eighteen Nepeta using light and scanning electron microscope. The pollen grains are radially symmetric, isopolar, and hexacolpate in all species. We have found that the quantitative features vary among the studied taxa. According to PCA analysis, the colpus length and width are the most variable traits. Polar view shapes in all the studied taxa are circular, while the equatorial view is prolate-spheroidal, subprolate, perprolate, and prolate. We determined microreticulate and bireticulate exine sculpturing, and the bireticulate type was dominant. We revealed that polar and equatorial axes length of pollen grains varied between populations of the same species, and they, therefore, should be ignored in taxonomical identification of species. The polar view was similar in all the studied pollen grains and could not be considered as a diagnostic trait. The equatorial shape was stable between populations of the same species, and this was taxonomically important, while we registered some infraspecific variations in exine sculpture. Our cluster of taxa based on the pollen morphology is not in concordance with the traditional sectional classification of the genus.
A Study on Environmental Impact of MSW Landfill Site of Two Different Regimes
Authors: Chaudhary Rubina , Singh Shukti , Gani Nighat
Published: March 2020

This paper assessed an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Municipal Solid waste landfill sites of two different regimes. The study deals with two sites of entirely different geographical areas and waste generation pattern. India enforced Municipal Solid Waste Management and Handling
rules,2000 and its subsequent amendments for all the cities and towns having entirely physical and climatically different conditions for solid waste management. Still, MSW dumped in open places without any treatment results in severe environmental impacts in and around the surrounding areas,
making it essential to assess its impact. Quantitative assessment of ground water, soil and air quality was determined. Whereas in this study, we used Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM), because all the components and parameters can easily be integrated into one platform, applying the criteria
that were considered to be the most significant in the evaluated cases to compare the environmental and social impact of the two MSW dump site. The RIAM results revealed that the method could be used for comparison and ranking of separate and distinct areas, based on their negative or positive
impact. No significant difference was observed in the scoring of the two sites, i.e.the Indore city landfill obtained slightly more negative scoring (100%) than Srinagar landfill (96.6%). The decomposition of waste seems to be more in Indore than in Srinagar due to cold climatic zone. The
paper reveals the adverse impact of dump sites on the nearby areas in both the regions.

In this study, the relationship between the levels of 5th grade science course exam questions and the 5th class learning outcomes of the science curriculum in the revised Bloom taxonomy was examined. The research was carried out using document analysis method. Since the revised Bloom taxonomy categories were used for the analysis, the data obtained were analyzed with the descriptive analysis technique. The study included 967 science questions and 40 learning outcomes in the 2017-2018 academic year. These questions and learning outcomes were analyzed. At the end of analysis, the relationship between the learning outcomes and exam questions was determined. The inter-rater reliability computing has been made in the analysis of questions-learning outcomes. The reliability co-efficient was calculated .81 for learning outcomes and .77 for questions, indicating an acceptable reliability. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the most learning outcomes were in the conceptual knowledge dimension and the most questions were included in the factual knowledge dimension. In the cognitive processes dimension, it was determined that most learning outcomes are at the level of understanding, and the most questions are at the level of remembering. It is understood that 37% of the exam questions are at the level of learning outcomes. In addition, it was determined that there were no questions about some learning outcomes (24%).
Dynamic Characteristics and Stability Prediction of Steam Turbine Rotor Based on Mesh Deformation
Authors: Si Heyong , Cao Lihua , Li Pan
Published: March 2020

In order to study the steam flow excited vibration caused by the eccentricity of a rotor, three-dimensional rotor whirl motion is simulated based on mesh deformation. The mechanism of steam flow excited vibration and its influence on the dynamic characteristics of the rotor are investigated. The results show that the exciting forces change with the displacement of the rotor’s centre. Rotor dynamic coefficients are nonlinear when the rotor whirls pass the mesh deformation. The rotor dynamic coefficients and effective damping increase with the increase of whirl frequency. When the whirl frequency is 24.41 Hz, the rotor dynamic coefficients are strongly affected by rotational velocity. The maximum fluctuations of average direct stiffness, cross-coupling stiffness, direct damping and cross-coupling damping are 8.1 %, 113.2 %, 45.8 %, and 121.0 %, respectively. Effective damping fluctuates greatly when both whirl and rotational frequency are 24.41 Hz. The direct stiffness, direct damping, and effective damping increase with the increase of pressure ratio, which can improve rotor stability. The pressure fluctuation on the rotor’s surface is a primary reason for steam flow excited vibration. The stability margin of the rotor can be estimated precisely via effective damping.

Levenstestament en euthanasieverzoek

In september 2019 heeft de rechtbank zich gebogen over de vraag of de arts de plicht heeft om de stervenswens van een wilsonbekwame patiënt te verifiëren, om te voldoen aan een vrijwillig en weloverwogen verzoek. Er wordt geoordeeld dat een dergelijke plicht niet bestaat, en dat de arts zijn overtuiging ook mag halen uit andere bewijsstukken. Door deze uitspraak wordt niet alleen de bevoegdheid van de vertegenwoordiger verruimd en verzwaard, ook krijgt het levenstestament zo een positie die van doorslaggevend belang kan zijn in de euthanasieprocedure.

Authors: Suchikova Y.O. , Bogdanov I.T. , Kovachov S.S. , Kamensky D.V. , Myroshnychenko V.O. , Panova N.Y.
Published: March 2020

Purpose: The paper aims to determine the values of the main morphological characteristics
of nanopatterns, which can be considered as the reference for use as surfaces of solar
cells.
Design/methodology/approach: The article uses an approach based on the definition
of reference indicators of nanopatterns for solar cells by analysing the main parameters
of solar cells and comparing them with the possible values of morphological parameters.
Correlations of pore radius and visible wavelength, porosity and visible range, wavelength
of de Broglie, nanopatterned layer thickness and charge carriers diffusion length, etc., are
analysed. Compliance verification of morphological characteristics of nanopatterns with the
specified criteria was performed on the example of porous silicon layers.
Findings: The conducted research allowed to define the basic values of morphological
parameters of porous nanopatterns, namely porousness, pore size (effective diameter),
the thickness of the porous layer, and form factor. Reference ranges of morphological
parameters of nanopatterns formed on the surface of semiconductors for applications in
solar cells are established.
Research limitations/implications: The article is devoted to the choice of optimal
morphological characteristics of porous nanopatterns on the surface of semiconductors
for solar cells. However, for solar cells, other types of nanopatterns can also be applied, for
which it is also necessary to develop methods for selecting optimal parameters. Moreover,
the prospect of research on this topic is to check the intrusion into a certain range of values
of real nanopatterns formed on the surface of semiconductors.
Practical implications: In the article the methodology allowing to choose optimal values
of morphological parameters of nanopatterns for its application for solar cells is considered.
Such studies are of great practical importance for the production of high-quality solar cells
based on nanopatterned semiconductors.
Originality/value: The article for the first time considers the choice of the nanopattern
type and the ranges of morphological parameters in terms of quality assurance of the final
product – the solar cell. It is determined that it is necessary to take into account such factors
as porousness, pore size, thickness of the porous layer and roundness. A range of optimal
values is selected for each of the indicators.
Comparison of 3D printing MJP and FDM
technology in dentistry

Published: March 2020

Purpose: Many printers are tempting at low prices, but later their accuracy turns out to
be insufficient. The study has included checking the accuracy of printing and reproducing
details of 3D printers used in dental technology and dentistry such as MultiJet Printing
(ProJet MP3000, 3D Systems) and Fused Deposition Modelling (Inspire S2000, Tiertime).
Design/methodology/approach: The 3D prints were created from scans of the maxillary
gypsum model with the loss of left premolar. In the test, objects were set to the X and Y-axis.
In order to check the dimensional differences after printing, scans of the printed models were
superimposed on scans of the plaster model in the GOM Inspect V8 SR1 (Braunschweig,
Germany). The focus was on the distance of scans from each other and a deviation map
was created for each object.
Findings: The average absolute value of deviations for each of models were equalled: FDMfor
X-axis 0.06 ± 0.04 mm, for Y-axis 0.07 ± 0.04 mm; MJP- for X-axis- 0.04 ± 0.02 mm, for
Y-axis- 0.06 ± 0.02 mm. A chart of arithmetic averages calculated for each tooth for the best
printouts in each series show that higher deviation values exist in case of FDM printout. The
models printed in the X-axis have smaller values of deviations from those printed in the Y-axis.
Practical implications: MultiJet Printing technology can be used to create more precise
models than the FDM, but these printouts meet the requirements of dimensional accuracy too.
Originality/value: CAD / CAM technology in the future will exist in every dental technology
laboratory so it is important to be aware of the way the 3D printers works. By paying
attention to the quality of detail reproduction, a Dental Technician is able to choose the best
3D printer for them.
Revisiting the Community of Philosophical Inquiry through the Lens of Arendt and Butler
Authors: Tsuji Rika ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2020

The purpose of this paper is to reimagine philosophy programs in schools, such as philosophy for/with children, through a critical analysis of the work of Hannah Arendt and Judith Butler, especially in light of their understanding of the space of appearance and plurality. ​Drawing on a critical reading of Hannah Arendt along with Butler’s critique, I argue that during the enactment of the community of philosophical inquiry (CPI), the classroom becomes a space of appearance through the collective willingness of those present to be exposed to and recognize unknown others and matters in the condition of plurality. I begin by summarizing Arendt’s notions of the space of appearance and plurality. Next, I introduce Butler’s critique and reading of Arendt to focus on sociopolitical aspects of the space of appearance. Finally, I synthesize both Arendt’s and Butler’s analyses to show the phenomenological and sociopolitical aspects of the CPI.
Distribuição de água por microaspersor de irrigação
Authors: Militz Rovany André , Saretta Ezequiel , Santos André Luis Teles dos
Published: March 2020

Many factors affect the water distribution by microsprinklers, such as the pressure, nozzle diameter, geometry and environment conditions. The distribution is characterized in tests under standard conditions established by ISO 15084 (2004). Thus, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the microsprinkler manufactured by Brazilian company Agrojet, used to irrigate orchards in Cachoeira do Sul. Microsprinklers used in the tests were equipped with yellow nozzle which has 2.3 mm in diameter, and operating at pressure of 147 kPa (21.5 psi). A grid of collectors at 0.5 m apart was placed around the microsprinkler to capture water during 1 h. The highest application rate throughout the radii was detected near the microsprinkler, and the distribution was considered non-uniform between quadrants, due to emitter geometry. There was also a gap in the application ranging from the microsprinkler to the end of its radius as a result of the frame that holds the rotor, which is thick and forms an obstacle to the water jet. Therefore, the water distribution was not satisfactory. Even so, aligning the microsprinkler frame to the irrigated tree might be a solution to minimize such effects in the non-uniform application.

Published: March 2020

An experimental performance study of Savonius small rotors is performed in this work. Two Savonius prototypes, two blades and the same aspect ratio, were constructed from vinyl polychloride and use different air flow. Experimental tests allowed the rotation speed of each rotor to be determined for different air flows. It is important to note that the average angular velocity of the smaller rotor is approximately fifty percent higher than the larger rotor. At the same time, the absorption torque on the rotor shaft was measured and the mechanical power of each Savonius wind turbine prototype was estimated. The main result was that wind turbines of the same aspect ratio have different performances.

Background: Oncologists often struggle with managing the complex issues unique to older adults with cancer, and research is needed to identify patients at risk for poor outcomes. Methods: This study enrolled patients aged ≥70 years within 8 weeks of a diagnosis of incurable gastrointestinal cancer. Patient-reported surveys were used to assess vulnerability (Vulnerable Elders Survey [scores ≥3 indicate a positive screen for vulnerability]), quality of life (QoL; EORTC Quality of Life of Cancer Patients questionnaire [higher scores indicate better QoL]), and symptoms (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System [ESAS; higher scores indicate greater symptom burden] and Geriatric Depression Scale [higher scores indicate greater depression symptoms]). Unplanned hospital visits within 90 days of enrollment and overall survival were evaluated. We used regression models to examine associations among vulnerability, QoL, symptom burden, hospitalizations, and overall survival. Results: Of 132 patients approached, 102 (77.3%) were enrolled (mean [M] ± SD age, 77.25 ± 5.75 years). Nearly half (45.1%) screened positive for vulnerability, and these patients were older (M, 79.45 vs 75.44 years; P=.001) and had more comorbid conditions (M, 2.13 vs 1.34; P=.017) compared with nonvulnerable patients. Vulnerable patients reported worse QoL across all domains (global QoL: M, 53.26 vs 66.82; P=.041; physical QoL: M, 58.95 vs 88.24; P<.001; role QoL: M, 53.99 vs 82.12; P=.001; emotional QoL: M, 73.19 vs 85.76; P=.007; cognitive QoL: M, 79.35 vs 92.73; P=.011; social QoL: M, 59.42 vs 82.42; P<.001), higher symptom burden (ESAS total: M, 31.05 vs 15.00; P<.001), and worse depression score (M, 4.74 vs 2.25; P<.001). Vulnerable patients had a higher risk of unplanned hospitalizations (hazard ratio, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.08–5.27; P=.032) and worse overall survival (hazard ratio, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.14–4.48; P=.020). Conclusions: Older adults with cancer who screen positive as vulnerable experience a higher symptom burden, greater healthcare use, and worse survival. Screening tools to identify vulnerable patients should be integrated into practice to guide clinical care.

To estimate the variability of genes of 4th and 6th families of CYP450, which were extracted from the whole genome data of Aphis fabae mordvilkoi collected from Philadelphus coronaries L. in Belarus. Methods. The whole genome sequencing was carried out in the University of Utah DNA Sequencing and Genomic Core Facilities (USA). CYP4 and CYP6 gene sequences were extracted from the whole genome data by sequential mapping the whole genome reads to CYP4 and CYP6 CDSs of three reference genomes (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris, 1776, Myzus persicae (Sulžer, 1776) и Diuraphis noxia (MordvilkoexKurdjumov, 1913)). All found uniqueversion of assembling were taken as a single gene. Results. In A. fabae mordvilkoi genome we found out 31 CYP4 genes and 24 from them were copies of CYP4C1s. We also found out 19 CYP6 gene sand 8 from them were identified as CYP6A13s. Variability of nucleotide an damino acid sequences of CYP4 and CYP6 CDSs were high. Conclusions. In A. fabae mordvilkoi genome most CYP4genes were identified as CYP4C1 and most CYP6 genes were CYP6A13s. Other CYP4 and CYP6 were mostly presented as single copies of different genes.Keywords: aphids, cytochrome p450, Aphis fabae, trophic specialization, gene copies.

Published: March 2020

Aim. To study electrophoretic spectra and activity of peroxidase in seedlings of wheat varieties, which differ in genetically determined characteristics. Methods. Biochemicals using a native gel-electrophoresis and a spectrophotometer. Results. Among the studied varieties, the highest peroxidase activity in seedlings varied winter wheat varieties of Astarta, spruce sparrows Polba Golikovskaya and high-amylose wheat HAW. When comparing the molecular forms of the enzyme, it was found that in the seedlings of the studied varieties there were 8–9 isoforms with peroxidase activity, which differed in relative electrophoretic mobility. Inactive isoforms and isoforms with relatively fast mobility were stable and recorded in all studied varieties. The revealed forms with average electrophoretic mobility were in 90 % of the studied varieties. Conclusions. Electrophoretic spectra of peroxidase in seedlings of the studied varieties differ significantly in number and mobility of its multiple molecular forms. Electrophoretic spectra and activity of peroxidase can be used as diagnostic features for comparative analysis of the studied plants in the early phases of ontogeny.

Keywords: peroxidase, electrophoretic spectra, varieties, wheat (Triticum L.).

Authors: Matvieieva A. S. , Kovalevska L. M. , Kashuba E. V.
Published: March 2020

Aim. To illuminate the reason of inactivity of the TGFB-SMAD2/3 pathways in CLL cells. Methods. CLL cells were isolated from peripheral blood of CLL patients, using gradient centrifugation at the ficoll. Expression and cellular localization of SMAD2, 3 and 4 proteins were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy, using specific antibodies. Results. The SMAD2 protein was basically not expressed in CLL cells, in contrast to B cells, isolated from the peripheral blood of a healthy donor. Moreover, the SMAD3 and SMAD4 proteins were localized exclusively in the cytoplasm (a proportion of SMAD3 was detected in the membrane) of CLL cells. Conclusions. The TGFB-SMAD2/3 signaling pathway is not active in CLL cells. We have found that SMAD2 is not expressed. Also, the nuclear heterodimers that consisted of SMAD3 and SMAD4 proteins, were not detected.

Keywords: chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLA), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), peripheral blood B-cells, SMAD, the TGFB-SMAD2/3 signaling pathway.
Brahispina – hereditary anomaly reducing the fertility of cattle
Authors: Mikhailova M. E. , Kireeva A. I. , Romanishko E. L.
Published: March 2020

Aim. Rigid selection for a limited number of signs of productivity and the use of artificial insemination of cows relatively small number of the best bulls-producers led to a decrease in genetic variability. The study of the genetic structure of the golshtinized cattle population for the FANCI gene, which determines the development of Brachispinal Syndrome (BY), is relevant for the development of livestock breeding in the Republic of Belarus. The negative influence of this recessive genetic defect in the homozygous state leads to embryonic death or calf death in the early postembryonic period. Therefore, the hereditary brachispinal anomaly refers to the haplotype of HHO fertility. Methods. The material is DNA extracted from biological samples of animal tissues (blood, pinch of an ear). The studies were carried out using molecular genetic methods: PCR, sequencing. Results. 325 cattle were screened for mutation сarriers (HH0 (BY) fertility haplotypes). The frequency of carriers of mutations of the FANCI gene associated with bovine fertility in Belarus (HH0 (BYC)) is 3.38 %. Conclusions. Animals-carriers of the mutation are excluded from the selection process. In the future, it is necessary to strictly control the quality of imported pedigree products (material) to the Republic of Belarus.Keywords: haplotypes, fertility, mutations carriers, Brachyspina.

Aim. To substantiate a concept of genome as the top informational attribute of biological species based on the modern achievements of biological sciences. Methods. Study and analysis of subject scientific literary sources, in which the technique of genomic analysis is used for determination of a number and similarity of genomes. Results. The main component of genomes is DNA that carries information about the primary structure of proteins (structural genes of matrix RNA), synthesis of proteins (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA), sites for connection of signaling molecules (start/stop expression, amplification, deceleration, repetition, etc.), mobile genetic elements, recombination sites, etc. The genome of each organism has a great variety of genetic nets and systems that control the molecular, biochemical, physiological and morphological features of organisms. At the same time, each gene network has genetic mechanisms designated for its regulation, based on changing functions of certain groups of genes that are part of the gene networks. Conclusions. Therefore, the genome is a part of a cell of a certain living body, consisting of an appropriate set of nucleic acids and proteins, combined into a single structural and functional system. Keywords: genome, structure, functions.

Published: March 2020

Aim. Ambryoidogenesis, or somatic embryogenesis, is known to be the most efficient mode of plant regeneration in plant cell, tissue and organ culture. The investigation was aimed to elucidate effects of trophic and osmogenic components of inductive medium on the frequency of direct embryoidogenesis in spring barley anther culture in vitro and to determine mechanism of morphogenesis improvement coursed by chemically modified starch D-5aM used as a gelling agent instead of agar. Methods. Anthers of DH-line with a high androgenetic capacity were inoculated on inductive media containing N6 macro-, MS micronutrients, organic supplements, maltose or mannitol (0.3 M) and solidified with agar or chemically modified starch. Results. A positive effect of combination of high maltose content and chemically modified starch on the induction and regeneration processes in spring barley anther culture in vitro was confirmed. It was also shown that mannitol didn’t keep any growth or development processes going in barley anther and embryo culture, but at the same time this substance had no toxic effect. Conclusions. In order to achieve a high frequency of induction in spring barley anther culture, it is necessary to use medium containing maltose – a low weight component both with trophic and with osmotic activity. Keywords: Hordeum vulgare L., anther culture in vitro, mannitol, maltose, embryo formation, plant regeneration.
