The work deals with the transportation of cargo in small batches in an urban environment. It was found that the weekly workload of truck drivers is not always evenly distributed. This is a prerequisite for dissatisfaction among them, as well as a reason for making mistakes or the occurrence of health problems. A partial integer nonlinear mathematical model is proposed to solve the problem. The solution of the task allows the difference between the driver who has worked the longest and the one who has worked the least to be minimal and the workload of the drivers even.We offer two possible solutions of this task (the example is based on a real situation from practice). In the first case it is the rotation principle, when three interchangeable workers working three days on three different activities. In the second case, seven workers performing six activities in one week, it is precisely determined which worker must perform activities. As a result of the calculations, the option, where the difference between the minimum and maximum time is 1.7 hours for the five working days, because it varies from 33.7 hours to 35.4 hours. In this variant, the rotation principle can also be applied in order for workers to be loaded equally. These options do not exclude the search for other solutions satisfying the problem.
Arteriovenous malformation with unique drainage through the emissary vein of the foramen ovale: illustrative case
Authors: Zhao Xiaochun , Evans Alexander R , Tayebi Meybodi Ali , Hopkins Nicholas , Bowen Ira , Jen Shyian S , Preul Mark C , Balsara Karl
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

As part of the laterotrigeminal venous system (LTVS), the emissary vein of the foramen ovale (EVFO) is an underrecognized venous structure communicating between the cavernous sinus and pterygoid plexus. The sphenobasal sinus is an anatomical variation of the sphenoparietal sinus that drains directly into the EVFO. The authors present the case of a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with a unique drainage pattern through the sphenobasal sinus and EVFO.

OBSERVATIONS

A 9-year-old female initially presented with loss of consciousness and was subsequently found to have a ruptured AVM in the left basal frontal area. She underwent an immediate decompressive hemicraniectomy, with a computed tomography angiogram demonstrating a unique anatomical variation in which the sphenobasal sinus communicated with the EVFO and LTVS. The final venous drainage returned to the pterygoid plexus and external jugular vein. Postoperatively, the patient made a substantial recovery, with generalized right-sided weakness remaining as the sole deficit.

LESSONS

The authors present the case of a ruptured AVM with unique venous drainage into the sphenobasal sinus and EVFO, for which the current literature remains limited. As exemplified by this illustrative case, technique modification may be warranted in the setting of this unique anatomical variation to avoid venous sinus injury.
In Search of “Good Russians”: Ukrainian-Russian Encounters in the United States During the First Cold War
Authors: Kravchenko Volodymyr
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the topic of Ukrainian-Russian intellectual encounters in exile during the Cold War. The author focuses on Ukraine’s and Russia’s mutual representations in historical narratives in connection with their respective discourses of national identity. The article also describes sporadic attempts at establishing Ukrainian-Russian public dialogue in exile starting in the early 1960s. All of them were initiated and conducted by Ukrainian public activists and intellectuals. The author concludes that participants on both sides ascribed opposing meanings to historical terms. Russian authors, on the one hand, consistently used the modern designation “Ukrainian” as a synonym for “Little Russian,” which automatically situated Ukraine within the “pan-Russian” historical framework. Ukrainian historians, on the other hand, tried to reinterpret “Russian” as a modern national designation rather than an imperial one. Hence the Ukrainian-Russian dialogue had no chance of succeeding unless Russian participants agreed to rethink their discourse of national identity. It is no wonder that many American observers remained confused about the nature of Ukrainian-Russian debates: to them, they looked like a dead-end situation. Thus, rather than trying to find alternative interpretations of Ukrainian and Russian history, most Western specialists followed either one or the other respective national narrative.
Interpretation of the World by Aleksander Bregman, a Far-Sighted Commentator on International Affairs in Exile, in the London-Based "Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza"
Authors: Chwastyk-Kowalczyk Jolanta
Published: January 2024

The article presents the views and journalistic activities of the foreign-educated doctor of political science, émigré Polish journalist, correspondent, anti-communist Aleksander Bregman, a pioneer of Polish-German reconciliation, who preached the unpopular post-World War II views of German reunification, and the creation of an economic community of European states. This international relations expert was one of the few publicists in exile who managed to make a name for himself outside the circle of the Polish diaspora. Gifted with Benedictine diligence, he left behind countless articles scattered in the émigré press, English, French, Swiss and German journals, as well as many books whose contents are still relevant today. He was also a contributor to Radio Free Europe. Throughout all of his wartime and subsequent exile life in the UK, he was particularly associated with the London-based Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza, where he served as editor-in-chief from 1959 to 1962. In Poland, the magazine was completely banned from printing until 1989. Methods used in writing the article: qualitative press content analysis, press, heuristic, historical-critical microbiography.
Use of genocide by the Russian Federation in the conduct of hybrid activities and warfare in Ukraine
Authors: Jakubczak Ryszard
Published: January 2024

Both the Russian hybrid activities and warfare include the use of genocide to strengthen the Krem­lin’s position and overcome Ukrainians. It can be observed within many spheres, but mainly as the Russian Federation falsely accuses Ukraine of committing genocide against Russians and claims that the West supports it. Russians commit war crimes that fulfil all the requirements to be considered genocide. The Kremlin uses genocide as a part of cognitive warfare, trying to influence not only the way the Ukrainians are thinking but also how they are behaving. In unofficial channels, there is much content showing Russian violence to generate fear and diminish the resilience of Ukrainians. Bearing in mind how much Russia has already lost with respect to the hybrid war in Ukraine, it is more and more likely that the Kremlin will focus in the future on hybrid activities and will try to exploit the potential of the threats that have already materialised. Principally, the hybrid warfare potential of genocide has been explored by Russians to various extend.
This work addresses chosen aspects of the use of genocide by the Russian Federation in the conduct of hy­brid activities and warfare in Ukraine from 2022, as well as the motivation behind it.

Authors: Hang Vu Thi Thuy , Cham Le Thi Tuyet , Hien Pham Thi Thu , Ly Pham Thi
Published: January 2024

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is grown mainly under rainfed conditions, facing water deficits in different growth stages. This study was conducted to evaluate the responses of a local cultivar, Dau tam Thanh Hoa, and three introduced mung bean cultivars (DX14, Mongo Labo, and TV06425) to water stress at the different growth stages. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse following a completely randomized arrangement with two replications. Drought was induced by withholding water at either the vegetative or flowering growth stages for 20 consecutive days. The control consisted of well-watered plants. After 8, 12, 15, and 20 days of drought, plant available water, growth characteristics, and the weights of fresh stems and roots were measured. After 20 days of drought, plants were watered to assess their recovery after 7 days and the growth characteristics, weights of fresh stems and roots, and yield components at the harvest stage were evaluated. The results showed that drought affected the growth, resilience, and yield-related factors more severely at the vegetative stage than at the flowering stage. The longer drought was imposed, the greater decline in plant growth was observed. Despite the recovery, fresh root mass and root length were still 40-50% and 10-30% worse than the control, respectively. Based on the growth responses and individual yields, Dau tam Thanh Hoa and DX14 were more tolerant to water deficit and can be used as materials for improving the drought tolerance of mung bean.

Published: January 2024

This study examined the phytochemical composition and algicidal effectiveness of Ludwigia octovalvis. The powder samples were extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction with polar solvents (water-diluted ethanol, acetone, methanol, and water). The preliminary phytochemical analyses used standard procedures following Sofowora and Harborne. Total phenolic contents in extracts were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method using a calibration curve of gallic acid. The results showed that this plant contains polyphenols, flavonoids, anthraquinones, glycosides, and saponins. The best conditions for the extraction of polyphenol compounds with a total polyphenol content of 149.22 ± 0.96 mg GAE g-1 were acetone/water 70:30 (v/v) and a solvent-to-material ratio of 20 mL g-1. The inhibitory effect of the extracts against M. aeruginosa growth increased from 40.71 to 81.56% on day 7 when exposed to concentrations of the extract from 50-200 μg mL-1 according to the cell counting method. The L. octovalvis extract was identified as an effective inhibitor of the growth of M. aeruginosa.
Environmental Efficiency of Pig Production in Chuong My District, Hanoi
Authors: Huong Le Thi Thu , Duy Luu Van
Published: January 2024

Chuong My is a suburban district of Hanoi with a rapid development of pig farming, accompanied by the problem of environmental pollution. For the sustainable development of livestock production, besides improving production efficiency, it is necessary to reduce environmental pollution. This study measured production efficiency considering environmental factors (environmental efficiency) to assess the sustainability of pig farms in the district. This study used the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model with undesirable output (COD emissions) to measure environmental efficiency in pig production. The research results showed that the average production inefficiency score was 1.07, while the average environmental inefficiency score was 1.19. This shows that if environmental factors are not considered, the measurements of production efficiency are biased. Using Tobit regression, the study showed that the factors that increased environmental efficiency were the installation of biogas digesters and the pollutant removal efficiency of manure treatment facilities. Meanwhile, increases in the volume of wastewater discharging into the treatment plants reduced environmental efficiency. These findings confirm the importance of biogas plants in manure treatment in Vietnam. To improve environmental efficiency, it is necessary to enhance the efficiency of treatment facilities and apply water-saving technologies in livestock production.

Analyzing crop production statistics of the Philippines using the newcomb-benford law
Authors: Parreño Samuel John Estenor
Published: January 2024

The agricultural sector plays a crucial role in the Philippines, contributing significantly to its food security and economic growth. However, the sector faces various challenges that hinder its productivity and growth. To address these challenges and promote sustainable agricultural practices, accurate and reliable crop production statistics are essential for informed decision-making and resource allocation. The Newcomb-Benford Law (NBL) provides a statistical distribution pattern for leading digits in numerical datasets, offering insights into data reliability. In this research study, we applied the NBL to analyze crop production statistics for major crops (rice, corn, coconut, sugarcane, banana, cassava, and pineapple) in the Philippines. We assessed the conformity of the datasets to NBL expectations and identified significant deviations, indicating potential data accuracy issues, collection method discrepancies, or reporting irregularities. Although these deviations do not conclusively suggest fraud, they underscore the need for meticulous data validation. The first two-digit test further strengthened the findings, providing a comprehensive understanding of dataset conformity. Transparent data collection and validation processes are crucial for trustworthy agricultural statistics, supporting effective policy-making and resource allocation. Future research should investigate the root causes of the deviations, explore data processing errors, and implement stringent data validation procedures. Additionally, expanding the analysis to include other crops and conducting comparative studies between regions and time periods would enhance data integrity and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices and food security in the Philippines.

SERCA1 Overexpression in Skeletal Muscle Attenuates Muscle Atrophy and Improves Motor Function in a Mouse Model of ALS
Authors: Mázala Davi A.G. , Chen Dapeng , Chin Eva R.
Published: January 2024

Background:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and muscle function. Previous work from our lab demonstrated that skeletal muscles from a mouse model of ALS show elevated intracellular calcium (Ca2+) levels and heightened endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Objective:

To investigate whether overexpression of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ ATPase 1 (SERCA1) in skeletal muscle would improve intracellular Ca2+ handling, attenuate ER stress, and improve motor function ALS transgenic mice.

Methods:

B6SJL-Tg (SOD1*G93A)1Gur/J (ALS-Tg) mice were bred with skeletal muscle α-actinin SERCA1 overexpressing mice to generate wild type (WT), SERCA1 overexpression (WT/+SERCA1), ALS-Tg, and SERCA1 overexpressing ALS-Tg (ALS-Tg/+SERCA1) mice. Motor function (grip test) was assessed weekly and skeletal muscles were harvested at 16 weeks of age to evaluate muscle mass, SR-Ca2+ ATPase activity, levels of SERCA1 and ER stress proteins - protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), Grp78/BiP, and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Single muscle fibers were also isolated from the flexor digitorum brevis muscle to assess changes in resting and peak Fura-2 ratios.

Results:

ALS-Tg/+SERCA1 mice showed improved motor function, delayed onset of disease, and improved muscle mass compared to ALS-Tg. Further, ALS-Tg/+SERCA1 mice returned levels of SERCA1 protein and SR-Ca2+ ATPase activity back to levels in WT mice. Unexpectedly, SERCA-1 overexpression increased levels of the ER stress maker Grp78/BiP in both WT and ALS-Tg mice, while not altering protein levels of PDI or CHOP. Lastly, single muscle fibers from ALS-Tg/+SERCA1 had similar resting but lower peak Fura-2 levels (at 30 Hz and 100 Hz) compared to ALS-Tg mice.

Conclusions:

These data indicate that SERCA1 overexpression attenuates the progressive loss of muscle mass and maintains motor function in ALS-Tg mice while not lowering resting Ca2+ levels or ER stress.

Authors: Tursun Serkan , Şahin Yaşar , Alçiğir Mehmet Eray , Çínar Miyase , Karahan İrfan
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:

Cafeteria diet (CAF) is a succesful tool for establishing animal obesity model. This study purposed to show immunoexpression and oxidant-antioxidant status in the various organ tissues of Wistar rats fed CAF.

METHODS:

Two groups (six rats per group) of Wistar albino rats were fed CAF and standard chow (control) diets for eight weeks. After experimental procedure, the animals were sacrificed. Intestine, stomach, liver, kidney, spleen, heart, lung, and pancreas tissues were sent to Pathology Department and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nuclear factor- κB (NF-κB) and cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB-1) immunoexpressions were assessed. Also, plasma liver function tests and lipid levels were measured total oxidant capacity (TOC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were evaluated in both plasma and liver tissue.

RESULTS:

The immunoexpressions of NF-κB, iNOS and CB-1 were higher in the experiment group for all tissues. TOC was significantly higher in the experiment group, for both plasma and liver tissue ( p < 0.001 and p = 0.02). TAC was higher in the experiment group’s plasma measurement ( p = 0.02), while there was no difference in the liver tissue between experiment and control groups ( p = 0.11).

CONCLUSION:

CAF-induced obesity may be related to increased immunoexpression and oxidative damage in the various organs. Systemic problems should be considered and these phenomenon should be studied more comprehensively.
The effect of sucrose consumption on eating behavior and depression during morphine withdrawal period in rats
Authors: Aslan Serkan , Köksal Eda , Karaboğa İhsan
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:

Sugary drink and junk food consumption increases during the withdrawal period, leading to subsequent psychological and metabolic alterations.

OBJECTIVES:

We aimed to investigate the relationship of sucrose consumption with serum insulin levels, leptin levels, brain Dopamine-2 receptor (D2R) expression, food consumption, and anxiety-depression findings in morphine-withdrawal rats.

METHODS:

Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups: Control, sucrose-free, 5% sucrose, 10% sucrose, 20% sucrose, and an addiction test. Saline was intraperitoneally injected to the control group, and morphine was intraperitoneally injected to the other groups for 14 days. After 14 days, naloxone was administered to the addiction test group, and addiction symptoms were observed and this group was sacrificed on the same day. Other groups were fed ad libitum with different concentrations of sucrose solution for one week. Behavioral parameters were evaluated at the end of the experiment. Leptin and insulin concentrations in serum and D2R levels in brain tissues were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. D2R concentrations in brain tissues were evaluated utilizing immunohistochemistry.

RESULTS:

We observed decreased food consumption and increased fluid consumption in rats that consumed sucrose water during the withdrawal period. The level of depression and binge eating behavior was elevated in groups consuming sucrose, and the 10% sucrose group had the highest carbohydrate consumption and anxiety levels. In addition, the 10% sucrose group had the lowest brain D2R expression. The leptin level was highest in the 20% sucrose group.

CONCLUSIONS:

These results show the possible effects of sugary drinks consumed during the withdrawal period.

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics Revealed by the Conservation Laws
Authors: Oldani Richard
Published: January 2024

It is often claimed that Einstein is wrong about quantum mechanics. However, when comparisons are made with respect to theoretical foundations rather than experimental results Einstein’s theories are found to be superior. Because he did not complete his theory its far-reaching, intuitively motivated derivations were never properly appreciated despite the fact that his is the only theory based on a relativistically correct foundation. The development of his arguments reveals that although non-relativistic theory correctly predicts what it is possible to observe (the emissions) with remarkable accuracy it neglects the other half of natural phenomena, that which cannot be observed (the absorptions), thereby violating the conservation of energy. The deficiencies in non-relativistic theory are corrected by applying Hamilton’s principle and deriving relativistic equations of motion. This allows quantum mechanical formalism in abstract space to be replaced by the juxtaposition of particle field geometries in real space. Direct application of the calculus of variations to an electron cycle reveals that the wave function represents a non-conservative force which is incomplete because it requires twice the allowable action minimum.
Exploring the Dependency between Energy Access and other Sustainable Development Goals: Global Evidence
Authors: Sadath Anver C. , Acharya Rajesh H.
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the interlinkage between energy access and other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the global context. For this purpose, we have calculated the indices for all 17 SDGs and use correlation and path analysis under structural equation modelling framework. Empirical results confirm that SDG 7 has positive and significant correlation with goal 4 and goal 12 indicating that ensuring access to modern energy resources enables women and girls to spend more time on education and gainful employment than gathering fuel. Further, energy access fosters sustainable production and consumption pattern and also promotes food security and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Aliyev Shafa , Gulaliyev Mayis , Purhani Safar , Mehdiyeva Gulsura , Mustafayev Elchin
Published: January 2024

The paper compares the energy security of three South Caucasus countries - Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. These countries differ from each other due to the use of different energy sources. The investigation used 28 indicators classified into six groups based on World Bank data to assess energy security. Indicators for each group were assessed as “stimulating” or “not stimulating” energy security. According to the results, Georgian’s energy security is less risky because of it uses renewable energy sources. Ensuring long-term energy security in Azerbaijan requires greater use of renewable energy sources. Armenia’s energy security is at higher risk due to its higher dependence on imports and poor use of renewable resources.
Influence of ESG on Sustainability Reporting: Mediation Rule of Green Innovation and Investor Sentiment
Authors: Siregar Inova Fitri , Ismail Tubagus , Taqi Muhammad , Soleha Nurhayati
Published: January 2024

This study aims to investigate if the quality of sustainability reporting is particularly influenced by a company’s commitment and approach to relevant environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) factors. Companies that seriously implement good sustainability reporting are likely to produce more detailed, relevant, and measurable ESG practices. The sample criteria were non-financial sector companies that had completed sustainability reports. This study collected 430 pieces of data from 215 companies. Data were collected from the 2021-2022 sustainability reports. The results show that ESG has a positive and significant effect on green innovation, investor sentiment, and sustainability reporting, and green innovation has a significant effect on sustainability reporting. However, investor sentiment does not significantly mediate the relationship between ESG and sustainability reporting. This study can help companies understand the factors that contribute to sustainability reporting. The limitation of this study is the development of theoretical models to anticipate the controversial debate behind the effect of ESG. Future research can combine and develop theoretical models on ESG and environmental uncertainty, which refers to the different, unpredictable, and constantly changing nature of the environment in which organizations operate. Environmental uncertainty can pose risks to organizations, including risks associated with supply chain disruptions and regulatory changes.
Economic Policy Uncertainty and Corporate Investment Efficiency: Evidence from Australian Energy Companies
Authors: Trinh Nga
Published: January 2024

This study examines the impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) on corporate investment efficiency. I argue that EPU increases financing constraints or induces firms to postpone investment projects, thereby reducing their investment efficiency. Using a data set of Australian energy firms from 2010 to 2022 and the EPU index of Australia, the findings show that the EPU index has a significant and negative effect on corporate investment efficiency. The results hold in fixed-effects and dynamic GMM models and after control for firm-specific factors, suggesting that a macroeconomic factor like the EPU index also plays an important role in determining the efficiency of Australian energy companies’ investments.
The Role of Renewable Energy Consumption in Targeting Debt Sustainability in African and MENA Region Countries
Authors: Ashour Ghada H. , Sayed Mohamed Noureldin
Published: January 2024

The primary aim of this study was to explore the impact of renewable energy consumption on debt sustainability in African and Middle East and North African (MENA) countries. Other objectives were to be investigated including foreign direct investment net inflows’ effects on those countries’ public debt, besides the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and their public debt. The Fixed Effects Regression Model for Panel data analysis was employed through the utilization of different variables data of 21 countries in Africa and MENA regions, covering the period from 1999 to 2021. The conducted regression analysis incorporated central government debt as a dependent variable, and carbon dioxide emissions, FDI net inflows, the government effectiveness index, credit to the private sector, and renewable energy consumption as explanatory variables. The results revealed the existence of direct significant relationship between renewable energy consumption and central government debt, suggesting that reducing public debt leads to lower utilization of renewable energy. This could imply that going for the objective of debt sustainability requires the prevention of the wide utilization of renewable and clean energy. However, this impact could be overcome or lessened or even mitigated if it is aligned with the presence of highly effective governments and stimulated by FDINI oriented towards climate change mitigation since Green foreign direct investment inflows promotes the sustainable development and debt sustainability specifically with the presence of inverse relationship between the latest variables and central government debt. One recommendation from this research is that attracting FDI that promotes sustainable development within the context of effective governments can reduce government debt and should be explored for attaining the main objective without harming the ecological system or causing environmental degradation.

Authors: Akbar Ahsan , Gul Azeem , Sohail Mariam , Hedvicakova Martina , Haider Syed Arslan , Ahmad Sareer , Iqbal Samra
Published: January 2024

When assessing sustainability performance, researchers often ignore the implications of combining energy, economic, and environmental factors. To address this void, we assess the consequence of energy dis-aggregation proceeding carbon emissions in SAARC nations. The majority of energy resources are renewable and non-renewable, which contributes to a rise in carbon dioxide emissions. This study aims to provide a thorough understanding of the energy utilization dioxide emissions nexus. The panel data sets covering the period 1971-2020 for the SAARC nations have been used for analysis. The data set was used to assess the effect of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on emissions of carbon dioxide by factoring in other CO2-producing variables such as urbanization, primary and secondary education, globalization, and economic development. Panel Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) was used to examine the connection. According to research comparing the impact of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption upon Carbon dioxide emission, whereas non-renewable energy consumption increases CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption decreases them. Urbanization, globalization, primary education, and economic growth increase carbon emissions, while secondary education contributes to environmental quality improvement via CO2 reduction. Therefore, increasing the usage of renewable energy and enhancing awareness through higher education may help SAARC nations to reduce pollution emissions.
