Authors: Bai Chen , Wang Jiangang , Ye Qing , Zhao Cheng
Published: December 2024

Abstract Background In patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), females were reported to have lower rates of in-hospital mortality rate and postoperative atrial fibrillation than males. However, the association between gender and long-term prognosis following OPCABG is rarely reported. Objective This study aims to determine if women benefit more from OPCABG than men by comparing the difference in the risk of long-term all-cause mortality in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). Methods This is an observational, retrospective cohort study conducted in adult patients (≥18 years) with coronary CTO undergoing OPCABG at our hospital from January 2011 to December 2014. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was employed to assess the association of gender with the risk of all-cause mortality. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Totally 1,256 participants were enrolled, among which 321 (25.6%) were females and 935 (74.4%) were males. During a maximum follow-up of 10 years, the all-cause mortality rate in women was significantly lower than that in men (10.3% vs. 24.3%, p<0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that women were significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.20-0.44; p<0.01) after controlling for potential confounding factors. Conclusion Women benefit more from OPCABG surgery than men, as they have a lower risk of long-term all-cause mortality in patients with coronary CTO.

RESEARCH ON PRIMARY SCHOOL SCIENCE EXPERIMENT TEACHING BASED ON LITERACY GOALS
Authors: Zhao Shudong
Published: December 2024

Primary school science experiments are crucial methods and pathways for achieving literacy goals. They play a significant role in cultivating primary school students' interest and thinking in science, enhancing their understanding of scientific concepts, and mastering scientific laws. However, the current state of primary school science experiment teaching is far from satisfactory. Students find it challenging to "learn by doing" and "think while learning" during science experiments. Primary school science teachers should focus on cultivating students' scientific literacy as their primary goal. This involves clarifying the connotation and characteristics of experiments, making comprehensive plans for experiment teaching, selecting appropriate teaching content, innovating experimental teaching designs, and implementing diverse evaluation methods. These measures are essential to achieving the literacy goals of primary school science experiment teaching.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of copper- and molybdenum-containing compounds on the morphofunctional state of the body of laboratory mice. The study was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of the Northern Trans-Urals State Agrarian University. The expe-riment was conducted on male laboratory mice of the same age. For three weeks, the animals were orally administered solutions of ammonium paramolybdate and copper acetate. The doses of trace elements were 0.0125 (optimal dose for molybdenum) and 5 mg/kg (toxic dose for copper). Based on the actual weight of the animals and daily water consumption, the daily dosage of solutions was calculated: 0.001 g/l for ammonium paramolybdate and 0.07 g/l for copper acetate. The laboratory experiment was designed as follows: all mice were divided into 4 groups of 10 mice each. Group 1 – oral administration of clean drin-king water (control group); Group 2 Copper – oral administration of copper acetate solution (concentration 0.07 g/l); Group 3 Molybdenum – oral administration of ammonium paramolybdate solution (concentration 0.001 g/l); Group 4 Molybdenum + Copper – oral administration of a mixture of ammonium paramolybdate solutions (concentration 0.001 g/l) and copper acetate (concentration 0.07 g/l). At the end of the experiment, a biochemical analysis of the blood of the experimental animals was performed, enzyme activity (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)), and urea content were determined. Mice with oral administration of copper compounds had a relatively high urea content in blood samples, and they also had increased activity of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase enzymes compared to the control, which also indicates liver dysfunction. The presence of chemical anta-gonism between copper and molybdenum is confirmed by the fact that the content of the studied enzymes in the blood of animals in the molybdenum + copper group is significantly reduced. This is especially evident in the values of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activity, which in animals of this group are reduced almost 5 times compared to the same indicator in animals of the Copper group.

The aim of the study is to identify the effect of ultrasound exposure on the degree of pectin extraction from fermented beet pulp with a citric acid solution. The task is to determine the modes of ultrasound exposure in the process of pectin extraction from fermented beet pulp, providing the maximum degree of pectin extraction. The object of the study is fermented beet pulp, as well as pectin extract obtained from fermented beet pulp. An aqueous solution of citric acid with a concentration of 0.33 % was chosen as an extractant for pectin extraction, which, according to preliminary studies, performs only the function of an extractant, without leading to hydrolysis of the components of the fermented beet pulp. The study of the biochemical composition of fermented beet pulp was carried out according to the methods given in GOST 28561-90, 25555.4-91, 26889-86, 29059-91 and the work of Ermakov A.I., Arasimovich V.V., Yarosh N.P. “Methods of biochemical study of plants” (Moscow, 1987). The mass fraction of pectin in the pectin extract was determined using the calcium-pectate method. To study the effect of ultrasound exposure on the degree of pectin extraction from fermented beet pulp, pectin was extracted under different conditions. During the extraction process, the following constant factors were adopted: extraction temperature – 55 °C, concentration of aqueous citric acid solution – 0.33 %, ratio "fermented beet pulp: aqueous citric acid solution" – 1 : 10; discreteness of ultrasound exposure – 10 min; extraction time – 60 min. The variable factors were the specific power of ultrasound exposure, W/cm3, and the time of ultrasound exposure, s. As a result of the conducted studies, the optimal modes of ultrasound exposure were established, namely: specific power of 0.24 W/cm3 for 15 s with a processing resolution of 10 min, providing the maximum degree of pectin extraction – 53.05 %, while the purity of the obtained pectin extract was 70.8 %.

Authors: Dergunov Aleksandr
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to investigate the concentration of biologically active vitamin-like, polyphenolic and aromatic compounds in wines from new domestically bred grape varieties to assess their potential in creating Russian premium quality wines. Objectives: to study the chemical composition of wines from AZOSViV grape varieties; to determine the mass concentration of biologically active substances, antho-cyanin, polyphenolic compounds and aromatic substances; to conduct an organoleptic assessment of wine. The objects of the study were dry wines from red autochthonous and new grape varieties. The Krasnostop Anapsky variety was chosen as a control, since its wines are stylistically closest to those studied. The grapes were grown in the Krasnodar Region near Anapa. Experimental wine variants were made in the winemaking laboratory. The studied wine parameters were obtained using GOST methods and original certified methods of the Instrument-Analytical Winemaking Center of the SKFNCSVV. Wines from the Krasnostop AZOS and Rubin AZOS varieties contain the largest amount of biologically active substances. In these samples, the excess of this parameter over the control and other variants was statistically proven at a 95 % significance level. In the studied wines, the largest amount of anthocyanin group substances was identified in samples from the Rubin AZOS grape varieties – 768 mg/dm3, Krasnostop AZOS – 716 and Dostoyny – 654 mg/dm3. According to the criterion of the content of aroma substances in wine, the Krasnostop AZOS, Rubin AZOS and hybrid 59-49 varieties were in the lead. Analysis of the content of aromatic substances and organoleptic evaluation of the experimental red dry wine allows us to conclude that with an increase in the concentration of aromatic alcohols and the total content of aroma substances in it, the quality of the wine itself improves.

Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to substantiate descriptive descriptors of the aroma of monofloral angelica ho-ney and to develop a methodology for descriptor analysis of the aroma. The objects of the study are six samples of angelica honey (collected in 2023) from different regions of Kuzbass, preliminarily identified by pollen analysis. General approaches to assessing the aroma of honeys during their identification are analyzed, distinctive features of the aroma of different types of honey are revealed. National standards regulating the requirements for the organoleptic assessment of honey quality are considered, basic terms for assessing the aroma of honey are provided. Honey aroma is considered as an essential criterion in identifying the species of honey, detecting counterfeiting and a determining indicator in product certification and examination of the quality and safety of honey. The absence of aroma characteristics for angelica honey in the current regulatory documents is noted. When performing the work, organoleptic methods of analysis were used in accordance with the requirements of GOST ISO 5492-2014, GOST ISO 13299-2015. As a result, a methodology for determining the aroma of angelica honey was developed. The optimal quantitative ratios of honey and distilled water, the temperature of the water during aroma tests were determined. Based on the obtained results of sample tests, a scale of aroma descriptors for identifying angelica honey was proposed: the aroma of angelica, umbellate, spicy, caramel, forest herbs, sweet and peppery. The selected descriptors are dominant, which is important for assessing the aroma of monofloral angelica ho¬ney. The aroma determination methodology can find practical application in conducting a qualitative sensory assessment of honeys for which there are no standardized aroma characteristics in the current regulatory documents.
USING HIGHER AQUATIC PLANTS POSSIBILITY ASSESSMENT FOR PHYTOREMEDIATION OF WATER FROM ORGANIC SUBSTANCES AND VARIOUS COMPOUNDS
Authors: Lippo Irina
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to conduct a retrospective analysis of literature data to summarize knowledge about the importance of phytoremediators in wastewater treatment and fish farming under industrial conditions. During the study, more than 120 domestic and foreign sources were analyzed. The following databases were used for the search: Cyberleninka, Elibrary, Frontiersin, Google Scholar, Researchgate, etc. The conducted review of the existing literature describing the capabilities of various types of higher aquatic plants allows us to conclude that most plants have the ability to effectively carry out water bioremediation under various conditions. This opens up prospects for the development of new methods for using plant components in treatment facilities. In addition, they have the potential to remove toxic compounds and organic waste from the aquatic environment, and can also be used as a component of a biofilter or the main element for cyclic water purification. Currently, there are some technologies that use aquatic plants for water remediation, but this area requires further research and development. Taking into account the assessment of the potential of various remediator plants, it can be concluded that most higher aquatic plants have the ability to utilize hazardous compounds from water and participate in the purification of organic elements. In the first case, there is the development of new methods for the disposal of plant waste contain¬ning toxic elements. And when receiving plant products grown in fishery reservoirs or in hydroponics, there is a need to develop a recipe for new feeds using these products for feeding animals.

Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to obtain new hybrid seed samples of awnless brome and red clover by open cross-pollination of selected parent varieties in polycross nurseries. The work was carried out at the Nor-thern Trans-Urals Research Institute of Agriculture, a branch of the Tyumen Scientific Center of the Sibe-rian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in 2022–2023. For cross-pollination, 9 parent varieties of awnless brome and red clover with good productivity over 5 years were selected. The parent plants for the nurseries were grown as seedlings, followed by planting in the field according to the 9 × 9 scheme. Each nursery consisted of 81 parent plants. Under field conditions, the plants differed in survival and morphology − the number of shoots and inflorescences, which affected the yield of hybrid seeds. With free cross-pollination of the initial material from 9 parental components in a polycross nursery of awnless brome, hyb-rid seeds were obtained from 74 parental plants with sample weights from 1 to 14 g. The highest total seed yield from all repetitions (42–57 g) was obtained from 4 parent components: Stepasha, 5-3-8, 8-2-56, 1-11. In the polycross nursery of red clover, hybrid seed samples weighing from 0.3 to 11.5 g and of various co-lors - from light yellow to yellow-violet - were obtained from 67 surviving plants. The best parent components with a high yield of hybrid seeds (38–61 g) were 3 varieties: Atlant, Saldo, Svetlyachok. The diversity of the obtained hybrid material creates new opportunities for use in breeding.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo mapear os artigos publicados nos eventos da Associação Nacional de Pós-graduação e Pesquisa em Administração (ANPAD) em torno da formação docente do profissional de Administração nos últimos 15 anos. A problemática desenvolvida é a seguinte: como se configuram os campos da formação docente nas pesquisas produzidas nos eventos da ANPAD? Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática a fim de sintetizar a evidência disponível na literatura, no caso, nos anais dos eventos da ANPAD, que podem não só auxiliar os pesquisadores no seu cotidiano de trabalho como também apontam questões que necessitam de novos estudos na área da Administração. Da revisão sistemática realizada, foram selecionados 17 artigos que atenderam aos critérios estabelecidos. Os artigos foram subdivididos em dois focos: artigos que discutem o Estágio Docente e os artigos que discutem e refletem a respeito da Formação Docente. A análise quantitativa evidenciou predominância de trabalhos empíricos sendo 58,8% da produção analisada. Conclui-se que a formação acadêmica prioriza o aspecto da pesquisa, deixando de lado a preparação para o exercício da docência. Essa lacuna pode comprometer a qualidade do ensino de Administração, uma vez que os professores muitas vezes carecem de habilidades pedagógicas.

Authors: - Iryshell P. Villegas , - Mary Jane S. Delosa , - Katherine H. Ranay
Published: December 2024

This study examines the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on Sanipaan Marine Sanctuary's tourist arrival and economic viability. A simple t-test was used to analyze the Before-COVID (2018 and 2019) and During-COVID (2020 and 2021) data.

The result shows a significant difference between the "Before" and "During" groups' average values, demonstrating that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted visitor arrivals. The estimated t-statistic of 10.356 shows that visitor arrivals during the pandemic (3353) were considerably lower than before (30507.5), above the crucial value of 4.303 at 0.05.

Additionally, a simple linear regression examined the link between visitor arrivals and entrance fee collection. Tourists (x1) and entrance fee collection are significantly linked (p-value = 0.037). Tourist numbers raise admission fees by 9.3481 units. The R-squared value of 0.868 implies that tourists explain 86.8% of entrance fee volatility. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.811 conservatively estimates the model’s fit. The regression model's F-statistic of 15.09 supports its significance (p-value = 0.037), demonstrating that tourist numbers considerably affect entrance fee earnings.

The analysis shows that visitor arrivals account for 87% of entrance fee variation, emphasizing the park's economic dependence on tourism. It demonstrates the COVID-19 pandemic's influence on Sanipaan Marine Park's tourism and business. The 66.89% difference between the 2022 and 2018 figures shows the pandemic's ongoing consequences on visitor arrivals.

These findings provide important insights for policymakers and stakeholders managing and developing Sanipaan Marine Sanctuary, highlighting the need for strategic planning and initiatives to address pandemic challenges and foster a sustainable recovery in tourist arrivals and economic stability.

Wrongful Convictions in Tanzania
Authors: - Neema Haule
Published: December 2024

Wrongful convictions in Tanzania are a serious issue that undermines the integrity of the criminal justice system and the fundamental rights of individuals. Despite legal safeguards, factors such as prosecutorial misconduct, police malpractice, judicial errors, and investigative failures contribute to miscarriages of justice. This paper explores the key causes of wrongful convictions, such as false testimonies, coerced confessions, misidentifications, and forged evidence, which lead to innocent individuals being convicted of crimes they did not commit.
The research focuses on the systemic issues within Tanzania's justice system, particularly faulty eyewitness identification, police misconduct, and forced confessions, often obtained through torture or duress. The study also reveals flaws in forensic practices and prosecutorial misconduct, including the improper handling of evidence and the failure to follow due process. These errors not only violate the right to a fair trial but also have profound psychological, social, and economic effects on the wrongfully convicted and their families.
Through a doctrinal approach, the research analyzes relevant legal frameworks, such as Tanzania’s Constitution, the Criminal Procedure Act, and the Evidence Act, alongside international human rights standards like the UDHR and ICCPR. By identifying gaps in these laws and practices, the paper advocates for reforms aimed at preventing wrongful convictions. These reforms include improvements in investigative procedures, better defense mechanisms for accused individuals, stricter oversight of law enforcement, and adherence to international human rights standards. The research emphasizes the importance of protecting human rights, particularly the right to a fair trial, to restore public trust in the criminal justice system.
Biomedical Waste Management Policy in India, USA and China : A Comparative Study
Authors: - Tahzeeb Bano
Published: December 2024

One of the barriers to achieving the dream of a disease-free nation is the disposal of biomedical waste into the environment. The inappropriate handling of such waste causes a significant threat to the life of health-care professionals, residents, and the overall environmental integrity. Thus it is important to manage waste in order to reduce its negative health and environmental effects in a sustainable manner. Although there are several methods for waste collection, segregation, processing, safe transportation, effective treatment, and proper disposal of biomedical waste are in place, the prevalent waste disposal practices are not adequately addressing the issue of biomedical waste management. The research objective of this paper is to comprehensively analyze and compare biomedical waste management rules and regulations of different countries with a focus on identifying common trends and divergent practices. The paper also tries to examine bio-medical waste management practices, including the common sources of production, handling and disposal methods. Many developed nations have bio-medical waste legislation; however there is generally little guidance as to which objects can be defined as infectious. The author provides brief information about the types of wastes that fall under the category of biomedical waste, followed by the available approaches for biomedical waste management in India, USA and China. Following that, the flaws in traditional biomedical waste management techniques are reviewed and efforts have been made to analyze and forecast the market dynamics of bio-medical waste management in these three nations.
