TRATAMENTO DE RESÍDUOS E EFLUENTES ATRAVÉS DE SISTEMAS BIOELETROQUÍMICOS: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Prado Maick Meneguzzo , Schneider Elisângela Edila , Soares Hugo Moreira
Published: September 2021

Os sistemas bioeletroquímicos são uma tecnologia emergente, a qual utiliza microrganismos para converter a energia química armazenada em materiais biodegradáveis para produzir energia elétrica e produtos químicos de forma mais sustentável do que nos processos convencionais. Dentre os materiais biodegradáveis, muitos resíduos sólidos e efluentes líquidos podem ser utilizados, oferecendo flexibilidade para reações anódicas e catódicas. Em sua estrutura, esses sistemas possuem basicamente uma câmara do ânodo, onde os materiais biodegradáveis são oxidados e geram elétrons livres. Em alguns sistemas com a câmara do cátodo, os elétrons livres passam a gerar corrente na própria célula. Essa tecnologia possui diferentes aplicações como geração de energia elétrica, produção de compostos químicos específicos, dessalinização da água do mar e remediação de solos contaminados. Este trabalho traz uma revisão da literatura sobre todos os sistemas mencionados, bem como as principais reações bioquímicas envolvidas, fornecendo informações e discussões sobre o desenvolvimento atual dessa promissora tecnologia e algumas dificuldades pertinentes, como a produção de energia em larga escala.
Experts in Search for Tools and Understandings. Review of the Book by A. Yu. Sungurov “Ekspertnye soobshchestva i vlast’” [Expert Communities and Authorities]
Authors: Egerev Sergey
Published: September 2021

The review deals with the analysis a monograph devoted to the formation of the institute of Russian expertise, as well as to the problems of interaction between experts and authorities in the Russian context. The work under review is based on a large amount of empirical data. The author is a professor at the Higher School of Economics, a political scientist with extensive experience in organizing expert procedures. The central problem of the book is the contradictory interaction between the expert and the authorities. The author focuses on the dynamics of the nature of the relationship between experts and authorities. The changes in the degree of demand by the Russian authorities for the opinions of political experts is underconsideration as well. It turns out that the periods when the government is open for dialogue with political scientists are adjacent to the periods when the government is completely closed. The book by A. Yu. Sungurov is an important milestone in the scientific understanding of the role and prospects of expertise in modern Russia.
“Intersubjectivity”: The Emergence of a Socio-Phenomenological Concept
Authors: Shmerlina Irina
Published: September 2021

The article outlines the author’s vision of the formation and development of “intersubjectivity” as a concept of socially oriented thought. Introduced into sociohumanitarian knowledge by E. Husserl’s phenomenology, this notion initially possessed powerful sociological potential and was called to explain on an abstract-philosophical level the existence of social order from an egological perspective (which is the perspective of a subject with a sphere of consciousness that other participants of interaction have no access to). The main tendency inherent to the post-Husserlian change in the concept’s semantic profile is linked to the gradual loss of its metaphysical potential, as well as its psychologization and instrumentalization. Intersubjectivity — which is something that was brought into sociology by A. Schütz’s social phenomenology — gained a pragmatic interpretation, effectively becoming an axiomatically presupposed attribute of the “life world”. Constructivist semantic valences of the analyzed concept were implemented in the social constructivism of P. Berger and T. Lukman, and at this point said concept had pretty much exhausted its initial analytical potential. The reinvigoration of sociological interest towards this category is associated with a postclassical redirection of attention towards interactive processes of generating meanings within situations of the “life world”, processes that are multidimensional, conditioned by context and cannot be fully reduced to just the subject. The matter of whether returning to Husserl’s intuitions is appropriate demands further consideration, in order to consider other interpretations of intersubjectivity, including those that focus on the historical course of the social process.

Mental space of Russia in the media dimension
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Tsvetova Nataliia S.
Published: September 2021

The article presents the results of the study of the conceptual sphere of the media space on the example of the concept “family”. This concept has a high communicative status, which is determined by the special influence of the family as a social institution on the mental space of Russia. The concept has a special meaning for the actualization of key cognitive national stereotypes, and it has axiological content. The analytical algorithm is based on the logic of analyzing the semantic structure of concepts and following the chronological principle of presenting empirical material, which is necessary in this case. It was supposed to rely on the interpretative method of research. The main conclusion: in modern mass media, the traditional semantic structure of the concept “family” meets serious opposition and is subject to rethinking when reformatting the evaluative periphery of the associative field of the concept, the figurative component of its semantic structure. The presented crisis changes are associated with the deactualization of the key axiological meanings of traditional culture, which for many centuries preserved the idea of ideal family relations as strictly repertory. The obvious conflict of the associative zone of the conceptual periphery testifies not so much to the intensity of modernization trends as to the sophistication of their manifestation, which needs to be investigated, since it can provoke a serious crisis of collective identity.
Discourse analysis: the theory of frames of analysis
Authors:   Tver State University, Bouchev Alexander B.
Published: September 2021

The discourse analysis is of interdisciplinary character, but it is impossible without the analysis of linguistic characteristics of discourse. The problem of method of these studies remains debatable. The paper dwells on discourse analysis of election campaign in the USA in 2020. The importance of these studies is reflected not only in the task of creating the theory of discourse analysis in modern linguistics, but also in the institutionalizing of these discourse practices in modern Russian society. These pragmatic texts are notable by their topics, issues, values embodied in them, key audiences, verbal (rhetorical) tactics of image-creating. The author suggests the theory of analysis of discourse — the existence of factual, linguistic, argumentative, non-verbal frames of analysis, the frame of key communicators, the frame of performance communication, the frame of virtual communication. Due attention is given to the new subtype of political discourse — that of net origin. The paper explores the publicprivate character of political communication in the nets and characteristics of verbal behavior of its authors. The paper makes a contribution to the discourse studies suggesting an original theory of frames of discourse studies.

Authors:   Moscow State Regional University, Gerasimenko Natalia А. , Ledeneva Valentina V. , Shapovalova Tatiana E.
Published: September 2021

The article considers the features of metaphorics in the journalism of Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov — a well-known publicist, TV-presenter, traveler and nature expert. The appeal to journalism in terms of the study of the figurative and aesthetic side of its texts determines the relevance of the article. The novelty is connected with the consideration in the linguistic aspect of the means of translating the objective and subjective in the metaphorical comparison of nature and human in journalistic texts, which characterizes the features of the pragmatic attitudes and worldview of the author’s linguistic personality. The aim is to describe the objective and subjective in V.M. Peskov’s metaphorics in the light of the evaluation of idiostyle features, which are manifested in the selection and combination of language resources. Research methods: general scientific (observation, analysis, synthesis), structural-semantic, elements of component analysis in combination with contextual analysis. The practical and theoretical significance of the research is connected with the conclusion that the comparison of nature and human, with the realization of their inseparability in the unifying field of life, is the main motive of all V.M. Peskov’s journalistic activity; with the first characterization of lexicalized units in various syntactic functions as metaphors; showing the role of bisubstantial sentences in creating a metaphor. The materials can be used in the further study of the idiostyle of V.M. Peskov, in the author’s lexicography, when reading university courses in stylistics, language of the media.
Textual representation of emotions in Somerset Maugham’s “The Moon and Sixpence”
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Kulieva Sheker A. , Ovezova Umeda A.
Published: September 2021

Somerset Maugham is one of the most “emotionally intense” authors in English literature. His greatest works always reveal the “inner life of the individual” (E. Etkind), a person’s susceptibility to various transformations under the influence of feelings and states (“Theater”, “Of Human Bondage”, “The Moon and Sixpence”). At the same time, the emotions being retransmitted when translating a literary text is one of the most difficult tasks in translation theory. As representatives of the architectonic to comprehend the world, emotions are always culturally specific and often do not have equivalents in another mentality and another language. Such are, for example, the English-language concepts (which, in turn, “explain” the emotion) “melancholia”, “blues” and others. The purpose of this work is to explain semantically the category of “emotionality” and understand its ideological and thematic significance in a literary text by comparing the material of two languages — the original English and Russian as the target language. The methods we have taken in the process of working on the text: descriptive, explanatory, emotion thematisation, denotative analysis, emotive analysis, hermeneutic, conceptual, and selective (method of sampling passionary couplings that is slots). Research hypothesis: The category of emotionality is involved in the reconstruction of characters’ images at the level of text perception (the theory of respondents). The means to retransmit emotions when translating a text depends on the mental attitudes of different ethnic groups, therefore, it is necessary to identify “intersection points” that are equally acceptable both for the original text and for its translation.
Fundamentals and dominants of poetics by N.S. Leskov
Authors:   Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University, Evdokimova Olga V. , Samoylova Elena P.
Published: September 2021

In the presented article formative foundations and dominants of mnemonic poetics of N.S. Leskov were identified and formulated (based on the research of scientists of recent years). The main ones are considered. As part of the interaction of word and image, the correspondence of verbal and visible, the question was raised about the nature of the image among Leskov — intensely icon-painting, about the dialectics of classical and art-historical ecfrasis; the picture dominates the genre of the novel (in particular, “Bypassed” (1965)), the icon — in small genres (for example, “situation story”). Dialogue as a constructive principle in Leskov’s prose inherits the methods and techniques of philosophy dating back to the experiments of Socrates’ selfconsciousness (469–399 BC) and G.S. Skovorody (1722–1794). These features of the text in turn determine the functions of a word that problematizes specific moral concepts and moves the reader to his own ethical choice. Leskov’s artistic reception is simultaneously turned to legend and is innovative. The text of the Russian classical writer is always located on the border of archaic and modern. This feature of Leskov’s prose is clearly demonstrated by the creative history of the literary and artistic game “Flea” (1924–1931), the text-source of which is the story “Left” (1881). Established — memory, experience, tradition underlie the poetic system of the classic writer.
Sergey Yesenin in the screenplay of V. Mayakovsky “The Story of One Nagan”
Authors:   Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kupchenko Tatiana А.
Published: September 2021

For the first time, a complex of motives associated with the image of S. Yesenin in the script by V. Mayakovsky “The Story of a Nagant”, as well as “Forget about the Fireplace” and the play “The Bedbug” are considered. A connection is established between the biographical facts of Yesenin’s life and the motives of the script, and the features of the innovative poetics promoted by Mayakovsky, revealed by him in the article “How to Make Poems” and his speech at the debate “Depressive mood among youth (“Yeseninism”)”. The “Yesenin” theme of the script is considered together with the themes of “poet and poetry”, with the accompanying motives of hooliganism, drunkenness and love in poems that also contain the “Yesenin” theme, but are included in the range of works devoted to reflections on what true art is in the era of building a new socialist state: “My speech at the show trial on the occasion of a possible scandal with the lectures of Professor Shengelli”, “Sergei Yesenin”, “A Conversation with the Financial Inspector about Poetry”, “Beat the Whites and Greens”, “Marusia Was Poisoned”, “Letter to Comrade Kostrov from Paris about the Essence of Love”, “Letter to Tatiana Yakovleva”.

The idea and art specificity of the novel by Oles Ulianenko “There, where the South is”
Authors:   Comenius University, Shteinbuk Feliks M.
Published: September 2021

The article suggests an alternative, in comparison to the traditional national literary studies, analysis of the novel “There, where the South is” written by one of the most talented and at the same time most controversial Ukrainian authors Oles Ulianenko. The suggested hypothesis is that the novel content is defined not by moral-ethic imperatives but by the anthropology of oblivion related to the chopped off head with its symbolic meaning which is interpreted basing on the structural and psychoanalytical aesthetics of J. Lacan. Due to these two factors the conclusions are made that the novel narrative is conditioned by the forgotten events which continue gnawing the narrator-protagonist because the latter found himself incapable to live through those events but who tried to do so by means of telling the story in the genre of a novel. Thus, Oles Ulianenko becomes not a creator of «almost sacred texts» (O. Solovei) but the author who, in the process of human formation, this time taking place «there, where the South is», discovers dramatic sense in the heroes’ overcoming themselves, society and their being.

In this context, we are interested in the activities of the little-mentioned and almost forgotten researcher Nikolai Sokolov (1875–1923), a full member of the Lithuanian Scientific Society since June 27, 1912. N. Sokolov’s scientific legacy is very fragmentary. So, today we can talk only about the reconstruction of his activities in Lithuania, for which the authors used in their study receiving Sokolov’s self-description of his own work , based on three variants of the list of “Lithuanian” (i.e. in the Lithuanian language and about Lithuania) publications: N. Sokolov’s letter to Nikolai Durnovo, dated 6 November 1918, N. Sokolov’s сurriculum vitae from 1909 and 1921, and obituary written upon N. Sokolov’s death, by N. Durnovo from June 2, 1923.

Authors: Confessor Jefferson Gomes , Silva Lara Luíza , Rodrigues Silvio Carlos
Published: September 2021

Simuladores de chuvas são utilizados a tempos, apresentando diferentes configurações e propostas, normalmente ligados à compreensão da dinâmica hídrica. A degradação dos ambientes pela erosão hídrica resulta em diferentes passivos já conhecidos, que são potencializados pela falta de manejo adequado em ações antrópicas. O uso de simuladores de chuva aliado a parcelas experimentais de erosão, proporcionam ambiente capaz de expor dados relativos à dinâmica da água no solo de forma controlada, se tornando ferramenta de grande importância no processo de aprendizado e disseminação do conhecimento sobre a temática erosiva de solos. Desta maneira, este artigo tem por objetivo central promover a idealização de um simulador de chuvas simples e portátil, assim como parcelas de erosão, ambos de fácil mobilidade, expondo as bases necessárias para sua confecção e utilização em práticas voltadas à temática ambiental, a serem usados em escolas, feiras, congressos e demais lugares cuja temática se faz presente, contribuindo para disseminação do conhecimento e preservação de ambientes.
Sequências deposicionais fluviais e evolução geomorfológica da bacia do Rio Paraúna - Serra do Espinhaço Meridional, Sudeste do Brasil
Authors: Carvalho Alex de , Magalhães Junior Antonio Pereira
Published: September 2021

A identificação de registros de mudanças na dinâmica hidrossedimentar ao longo do tempo permite verificar possíveis alterações da estabilidade de sistemas fluviais e discutir suas implicações na evolução geomorfológica. Este artigo discute a contribuição dos processos fluviais na configuração geomorfológica da bacia do rio Paraúna, ao longo do Pleistoceno Superior/Holoceno. Realizaram-se as seguintes etapas metodológicas: reunião de informações da área estudada; a identificação, mapeamento e caracterização de níveis e sequências deposicionais fluviais; e a datação de sedimentos fluviais pela Luminescência Opticamente Estimulada (LOE). Baseando-se na topografia e na resistência litológica, pode-se identificar dois compartimentos geomorfológicos: Superfícies Elevadas (SE) e Depressão de Gouveia (DG). A dinâmica fluvial é condicionada pelo nível de base regional (rio Paraúna) na DG e pelos níveis de base locais controlados por quartzitos (Supergrupo Espinhaço) nas SE. Frequentemente, as médias/altas vertentes possuem níveis de seixos escalonados e os fundos de vale colmatados possuem níveis arenosos embutidos e/ou encaixados. Na DG, a estabilização do nível de base condicionou a configuração dos fundos de vale, favorecendo a redução da incisão fluvial, o encouraçamento das calhas e a regularização dos perfis longitudinais. Nas SE, a litologia e aspectos locais das bacias e dos canais explicam a diversidade de configurações de vales.
Monoclonal Gammapathy of Renal Significance: Morphological Variants of Lesion
Authors: Fomina N. V. , Utkina E. V.
Published: September 2021

The article discusses the concept of monoclonal renal gammopathy, which combines various renal diseases caused by the deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin and / or their components in the glomeruli and tubulointerstitium. This nosological group was identified within the group of monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance (in 2012). The data on the study of morphological kidney damage associated with monoclonal renal gammopathy are presented. The spectrum of renal diseases in monoclonal renal gammopathy is diverse, and its classification is based on the localization of renal lesions in the glomeruli, tubules, vascular interstitium and stroma, as well as the peculiarity of the deposition of immunoglobulins (organized and unorganized). Kidney biopsy is required in most cases to locate the lesion, assess its severity, and predict patient survival. Diagnostics requires the integration of morphological changes using light microscopy, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and in some cases, staining of monoclonal protein for Ig isotypes is used (staining with hematoxylin / eosin, Schiff stain (PAS reaction), Jones stain, Congo Red stain, Masson’s trichromal stain). Early diagnosis and timely prescription of clone-oriented therapy by a hematologist and / or a hematooncologist can stop the progression of the malignant process and kidney malfunction. A nephrologist should monitor the patient, interacting with the hematologist.

Published: September 2021

Aim. To evaluate the influence of genetic factors on the risk of developing a combined endpoint, during a one-year supervision of patients, who had myocardial infarction and highly adherent to drug therapy.

Material and methods. The research included 250 patients with high adherence to treatment with myocardial infarction, using the method of polymerase chain reaction we determined the polymorphisms Thr174Met and Met235Thr in the AGT gene, Arg389Gly and Ser49Gly in the ADRB1 gene, Ser447Ter in the LPL gene and Leu28Pro in the APOE gene, Trp212Ter and G681A in the CYP2C19 gene, and then we evaluated their influence on the prognosis.

Results. A significant influence on the risk of developing combined endpoint was noticed for the polymorphism of CYP2C19 (G681A) gene. For the GA genotype of the CYP2C19 gene (G6881A), the OR of developing an unsuccessful outcome was 1.97 (95 % CI 1.05 — 3.69) (P = 0.03). For сarrier-state of A allele the OR was 1.46 (95 % CI 1.06 — 3.64) (P = 0.03).

 Conclusion. The results received indicate the need for individual approach for the choice of drugs from the group of inhibitors P2Y12-receptors for dual antiplatelet therapy, and if clopidogrel is chosen it is necessary to resolve the issue of pharmacogenetic testing for CYP2C19.

Authors: Amriza Salsabila Anggiani , Rachmawati Nurul Aisyah
Published: September 2021

This research focus to investigate the effect of audit quality and financial constraint on the complementary level of financial and tax reporting aggressiveness. This research uses binary logistic regression to investigate the effect of audit quality and financial constraint on the complementary level of financial and tax reporting aggressiveness with a sample of 147 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2017-2019. This research found that companies with good audit quality have a complementary level of financial and tax reporting aggressiveness that tends to be below. Also, companies that face financial constraints have a higher complementary level of financial reporting and tax aggressiveness. This study presents empirical evidence that supports the view of audit quality and financial constraint’s impact on the complementary level of financial and tax aggressiveness. Although there are many studies that discuss the relationship between financial and tax aggressiveness, there are still few studies that contribute to examine the determinants of the complementary level of financial and tax reporting aggressiveness in Indonesia.

Published: September 2021

This research work investigates the relationship between external macroeconomic shocks and stock price behavior in Nigeria. Variables such as exchange rate (EXR), US real interest rate (USRINTR), and world oil price (WOP) are adopted to capture external macroeconomic shocks while all share price index is used to proxy stock price. The research work uses Johansen cointegration and structural vector autoregressive model as the estimation method. Findings from the study confirm that no long-term co-movement exists between the stock price and the selected external shocks. Findings from the study equally show that both US real interest rate (USRINTR) and world oil price (WOP) are the major external shock predictors of the stock price in Nigeria.

Authors: Mungai Margaret , Kieti Damiannah , Mapelu Isabella
Published: September 2021

The paper innovates on the existing literature and field data by assessing the socio-economic factors influencing the enrolment decisions of students, to tourism programs among 12 selected Kenyan public universities. The study uses a descriptive design. A structured questionnaire and an interview guide were used to gather data from 192 students and 12 departmental heads. The study used a multi-sampling technique; purposive sampling was adopted to select the universities, while simple random sampling was used to determine students pursuing a degree in tourism management. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS. A structural equation model was used for data analysis, following exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factors analysis. The logit regression results reveal the existence of a statistically significant relationship between socioeconomic factors and students’ choice to enroll in tourism programs. The most important reasons influencing the student’s tourism degree choice are tuition fees, employment prospects, and parents/family background. The study recommends that education practitioners, scholars, governments, and private sectors allocate resources and dedicate efforts to improving and tourism awareness among high school students. Future research should investigate the same study variables using longitudinal and in-depth approaches to minimize generalizability concerns related to the study findings.
Mapping evidence of individuals’ sustainable consumption behaviour and energy or transport use in Africa: A scoping review
Authors: Ansu Mensah Peter , Ansu Mensah Monica
Published: September 2021

The study aims to systematically map and describe the evidence on individual’s sustainable consumption behaviour and energy and transport use in Africa. The paper employed Arskey and O’Malley’s’ framework of 2005 as a guide to conduct a scoping review. Using keywords separated by Boolean terms (AND/OR) with all limiters removed, relevant published studies in Science Direct, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched. Full-text screening guided by the inclusion criteria was independently conducted and data extraction was done using a piloted form to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The results revealed that out of 176 studies, six met this study’s inclusion criteria and were included for data extraction. Among the six included studies, two were multi-country studies involving African countries, and study each was conducted in Ghana, Mauritius, South Africa, and Egypt. Of the included studies, five were on sustainable energy consumption domain, one on energy use and recycling behaviour, and the factors influencing sustainable energy consumption; price, income, urbanization, intention, attitudes, subjective norms and personal values. However, we found no evidence on individual’s sustainable consumption behaviour and transport use. Concluding, the results suggest that limited studies on sustainable consumption behaviour of energy and transport use are found in Africa. Therefore, further studies are needed to protect the gains made so far on environmental sustainability as well as to encourage and improve the individual’s sustainable consumption practices.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyze the demographic bonus from the perspective of human capital in Indonesia. This research methodology uses qualitative methods and uses literature and documentation study techniques. This research data comes from secondary data sources, based on literature studies, and is analyzed descriptively qualitatively which emphasizes the use of scientific logic. The results of the study found that Indonesia is in a very good demographic bonus position, and is expected to be able to take advantage of the age structure, especially the portion of the productive age which has the potential to be the main driver of economic growth. Therefore, the government must have a supporting policy to encourage economic growth by having a strategy and implementing competency-based training (CBT) through the implementation of Deming's (1986) plan-do-check-action (PDCA) as a human resource development program that includes material for integrating technical skills and competencies in the form of skills, competencies, and the right point of view or character to make students become professionals. On the other hand, the government is expected to be able to create jobs and open up a wide work environment for young people, the workforce skilled as human capital.

Published: September 2021

This paper aims to examine the impact of mobile telecom service characteristics on consumer satisfaction in urban Uganda, using a Servqual model. The association between customer satisfaction level and service quality characteristics has been tested with a regression analysis. In this study, assurance as a Servqual dimension has been substituted with tariffs to exhibit its effect on customers’ satisfaction levels. Findings verified that some of the Servqual dimensions including reliability, empathy, and responsiveness have been positively affecting the customer satisfaction level in the Ugandan context. The study also demonstrated that the prices of products and services of telecom companies were not the major concerns for telecom consumers in Uganda. The study, finally, provides some practical guidelines to managers of telecom companies as well as hinting out which Servqual dimensions are valued most by customers in Uganda.

Carboxypeptidase A4 (CPA4) has shown the potential possibility as a biomarker in the early diagnosis for certain cancers. However, no previous research has linked CPA4 to therapeutic or prognostic significance in bladder cancer. Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we set out to determine the full extent of the link between CPA4 and BLCA. We further analyzed the interacting proteins of CPA4 and infiltrated immune cells via TIMER2，STRING and GEPIA2 databases. The expression of CPA4 in tumor and normal tissues was compared using the TCGA+GETx database. The connection between CPA44 expression and clinicopathologic characteristics and overall survival (OS) was investigated using multivariate methods and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The potential functions and pathways were investigated via gene set enrichment analysis. Furthermore, we analyze the associations between CPA4 expression and infiltrated immune cells with their respective gene marker sets using the ssGSEA, TIMER2, and GEPIA2 databases. Compared to matching normal tissues, human CPA4 was found to be substantially expressed. We confirmed that overexpression of CPA4 is linked with shorter OS, DSF, PFI, and increased diagnostic potential using Kaplan-Meier and ROC analysis. The expression of CPA4 is related to T-bet, IL12RB2, CTLA4, and LAG3, among which T-bet and IL12RB2 are Th1 marker genes, while CTLA4 and LAG3 are related to T cell exhaustion, which may be used to guide the application of checkpoint blockade and the adoption of T cell transfer therapy.

Background. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorder which affects the joints in the wrists, fingers, and knees. RA is often associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)-like symptoms.Aim. To examine the association between depressive symptoms (measured with the Beck Depression Inventory, BDI), anxiety (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, HAMA), and CFS-like (Fibro-fatigue Scale) symptoms and immune-inflammatory, autoimmune, and endogenous opioid system (EOS) markers, and lactosylceramide in RA. Methods. The serum biomarkers were assayed in fifty-nine RA and fifty-nine patients without increased psychopathology (PP) and fifty healthy controls.Results. There were highly significant correlations between the BDI, FF, and HAMA scores and severity of RA, as assessed with the DAS28-4, clinical and disease activity indices, the number of tenders and swollen joints, and patient and evaluator global assessment scores. A common latent vector (reflective model) could be extracted from the PP and RA-severity scales, which showed excellent psychometric properties. Partial least squares analysis showed that 69.7% of the variance in this common core underpinning PP and RA symptoms could be explained by the regression on immune-inflammatory pathways, rheumatoid factor, anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, CD17, and mu-opioid receptor levels. Conclusions. Depression, anxiety, and CFS-like symptoms due to RA are reflective manifestations of the phenome of RA and are mediated via the effects of the same immune-inflammatory, autoimmune, and EOS pathways and lactosylceramide that underpin the pathophysiology of RA. These PP symptoms are clinical manifestations of the pathophysiology of RA.
Investigation and Optimization of Mxene functionalized Mesoporous Titania Films as Efficient Photoelectrodes

Three-Dimensional mesoporous TiO2 scaffolds of anatase phase possess inherent eximious optical behavior that are beneficial in designing photoelectrodes for solar energy conversion applications. However, substantial efforts have been devoted in maximizing the UV and/or visible light absorption efficiency, and suppressing the annihilation of photogenerated charged species in pristine mesoporous TiO2 structure for improved solar illumination conversion efficiencies. This study provides the fundamental insights into Mxene functionalized mesoporous TiO2 as photoelectrode for the first time. This novel combination of Mxene functionalized TiO2 electrodes with and without TiCl4 treatments have been successfully optimized to intensify the process of photon absorption, charge segregation and photocurrent, resulting in superior photoelectrode performance. The photocurrent measurements of prepared photoelectrodes are significantly enhanced upon increased contents of Mxene due to improved absorption efficiency within the visible region as verified by UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, as evident through structural analysis, the anatase phase of TiO2 is well grown due to increased contents of Mxene and post-deposition heat treatments. Consequently, an appreciable coverage of well-developed grains on FTO surface observed in SEM images. Thereby, the newly fabricated conductive mesoporous TiO2 photoelectrodes are potential candidates for photoinduced energy conversion and storage purposes.
Renormalizable and Unitary Lorentz Invariant Model of Quantum Gravity
Authors: Larin S. A.
Published: September 2021

We analyze the R + R2 model of quantum gravity where terms quadratic in the curvature tensor are added to the General Relativity action. This model was recently proved to be a self-consistent quantum theory of gravitation, being both renormalizable and unitary. The model can be made practically indistinguishable from General Relativity at astrophysical and cosmological scales by the proper choice of parameters.

Предлагаются безытерационные способы применения MPI+OpenMP технологии при построении и обращении предобусловливателей блочного Якоби в сочетании с неполным треугольным разложением с отсечением по параметру первого порядка IC1 и стабилизированного неполного треугольного разложения с отсечением по параметру второго порядка IC2S. При этом число блоков в блочном Якоби кратно числу используемых процессоров и числу используемых потоков. Получены оценки числа итераций метода сопряженных градиентов с предобусловливанием блочного Якоби в сочетании с IC1 или IC2S. С помощью расчетов модельных задач и ряда задач из коллекции разреженных матриц SuiteSparse показано, что применение MPI+OpenMP технологии позволяет существенно ускорить вычисления по сравнению с применением только MPI для не слишком большого числа узлов суперкомпьютерной системы.

В настоящей работе рассматривается двухкомпонентная среда с субдиффузионным транспортом и нелинейной химической кинетикой. Формально такая система может быть представлена в виде связных уравнений с производными Капуто разного порядка. С помощью линейного анализа установлено, что соотношение показателей дробных производных существенно влияет на отбор паттернов, которые могут возникать в системе. Также продемонстрирован новый тип бифуркаций, который невозможно наблюдать в аналогичной системе с обычными производными. Проведенный анализ дополнен результатами прямого численного моделирования.

Характеристики состояния атомов и ионов, вычисленные в квантово-статистической модели Хартри-Фока-Слэтера, использованы для прямого расчета дифференциальных и полных сечений процессов ионизации электронным ударом однократных ионов кислорода и азота в приближении искаженных волн. Сходимость сечений обосновывает применимость приближения для расчета сечений ударной ионизации ионов электронами в газоплазменных образованиях. Вычисленные сечения сравниваются с аналитическими приближениями и доступными экспериментальными данными. Результаты расчетов показывают, что предложенный метод дает надежные результаты, что в сочетании с применимостью модели Хартри-Фока-Слэтера в большом диапазоне температур и плотностей позволяет использовать его в широком интервале энергий и зарядов ионов.
