The Late- and post-glacial history of the development of the White Sea coastal zone in the area of the Varzuga River mouth is considered as a result of the interaction of endogenous and exogenous factors of coastal morpholithogenesis. Based on geomorphological investigations, study of Holocene deposits by lithostratigraphic, diatom and radiocarbon analyses, as well as collection and analysis of published data, new results on the area’s relief development for ~13 cal ka BP have been obtained. The features of the regional hierarchical morphostructure and local post-glacial tectonics of the territory — the spatial relationships of blocks and the speed of vertical movements – were determined. The superimposed linear Nizhnevarzugskaya depression, which determined the configuration of the Varzuga River estuary in the late and postglacial time, was identified for the first time. The influence of the spatial ratio of blocks and differentiated postglacial uplift on the coastal morpholithogenesis was established. The course of changes in the relative sea level (RSL), development conditions and morphodynamics of the open coast and the estuary of the Varzuga River were reconstructed and new data on the rhythms of coastal morpholithogenesis processes (coastal, estuarine, and aeolian) obtained. Three stages of the coastal zone development were identified, corresponding to regional rhythms of changes in the relative sea level and climate: (I) Late Glacial transgression and Early Holocene regression (~12–9.8 cal ka BP), (II) Middle Holocene Tapes transgression (7.8–4.9 cal ka BP), (III) Late Holocene regression (after 4.9 cal ka BP). The upper marine boundary of the Late Glacial transgression is traced at the elevation of ~54–55 m a. s. l. to the west of the Nizhnevaruzgskaya depression, — ~39–40 m a. s. l. to the east of it, and — 22–25 m a. s. l. in the depression. The shores of lower morphostructural blocks were probably blocked by dead ice up until ~10.2–9.8 cal ka BP. During the Tapes transgression, the RSL reached a maximum (~7.8–7.6 cal ka BP; ~20 m a. s. l.), and by 4.9 cal ka BP fall to ~15 m a. s. l. The prevailing directions of sediment fluxes, winds and wave approach became similar to those of today. However, the main source of the coastal zone sedimentary supply was the erosion of glaciofluvial sediments and the input of sands from the seabed. In the interval of ~4.9–1.7 cal ka BP, the RSL decreased to ~5 m a. s. l. The sediment runoff of the Varzuga River became the main source of feeding the coastal zone.

“Forested ravine near the village
of Vlasyevo” in Moscow region
Authors: Ozerova N. A. , Kuklina A. G. , Shvetsov A. N.
Published: June 2024

In 2017–2022, field studies of the natural complexes of the natural
monument “Forested ravine near the village of Vlasyevo” (Moscow region)
were carried out. Most of the area is currently occupied by broad-leaved forest.
On the left bank of the river Gremyachevka at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries S.D. Rzhevsky, the landowner, created an arboretum with a collection
of conifers, which was considered one of the richest in Russia. It was
established that the age-old park plantings, including conifers, identified
on the right bank of the river Gremyachevka, belong to another estate
“Vysokoye”, about which nothing was previously known. In total, 34 species
of cultural origin were found, of which 21 taxa (61%) are found in centuriesold park plantings, and 13 species appeared later. Introduced conifers
are represented by 10 taxa (Abies sibirica, Larix decidua, L. sibirica, Pinus nigra,
P. sibirica, Picea abies, P. glauca, P. obovata, P. pungens and P. pungens ‘Glauca’),
most of which comes from the collection of S.D. Rzhevsky. Only P. abies,
planted in Soviet times, was able to naturalize and form a small undergrowth.
Of the invasive species with the status of Amelanchier spicata, Populus alba
and Sorbaria sorbifolia were found as part of old park plantings. It is likely
that the appearance of Symphytum caucasicum and Caragana arborescens
near the village occurred at the end of the XX century. It was noted that
all introduced species, regardless of the date of planting and the presence of the status of an invasive species, were found at the places of their planting.
Since only foundations remained from the noble estates themselves, park
plantings on the territory of the natural monument need protection and
further monitoring as preserved natural and historical objects.

From the viewpoint of the hierarchy of shoot systems crown architecture
in virginal and young reproductive individuals of Quercus robur L. in meadow
steppes and various insular pineries in the Northern Voronezh refion
is studied. The number of studied individuals is over 700. While systematized
diversity of shoot systems categories of architectural model, architectural unit
and architectural type (AT) were used. It has been established that Q. robur
in the zone of the southern forest-steppe forms the same AT as in the mixed and broadleaved forest biomes in the Oka River basin. The individuals
of the AT I prevail both under full light and canopy. Under shading most
individuals of the AT I demonstrate decrease of growth processes and
simplification of shoot systems. All AT of Quercus robur in the southern foreststeppe form a wider range of forms than in the mixed and broadleaved forest
biomes. This is caused by realization of reduction and increasing processes

Проведено аналіз даних літератури, що стосуються методів лікування пухлин молочних залоз у собак і кішок. Незважаючи на численні та багаторічні дослідження, все ще існує необхідність пошуків ефективних методів лікування онкологічної патології. Всебічний огляд поточних досліджень у даній галузі є важливим з точки зору оцінки перспектив. Лікування призначають в залежності від типу пухлини і стадії розвитку онкологічного процесу. Це лікування може включати хірургічне втручання, променеву терапію, хіміотерапію, імунотерапію, знеболення та комбінацію цих методів. Найчастіше як у собак, так і у котів застосовується хірургічна резекція, на ефективність якої впливають вік і розмір тварини, гістологічний тип і розмір пухлини, а також час між її діагностуванням та операцією. В цей час, важливу роль відіграють раннє виявлення та правильно сплановане оперативне втручання. Існує багато гістологічних варіантів пухлин молочної залози з різноманітною біологічною поведінкою. Важливим чинником для підвищення ефективності боротьби з онкологічною патологією є рання діагностика. Кілька класів препаратів для хіміотерапії використовуються як основне або допоміжне лікування. Хіміотерапія може подовжити виживання або період ремісії, але не є радикальним методом. Раннє виявлення пухлини та правильно і вчасно проведене лікування покращує загальне виживання. Останнім часом певна увага у галузі ветеринарної онкології стала приділятися таргетній терапії та імунотерапії. Зокрема, інтерферони використовуються під час різних онкологічних захворювань та їх ефективність вивчається в клінічних дослідах, в тому числі і під час пухлин молочної залози у собак і кішок. Розуміння взаємодії новоутворень та імунної системи організму є необхідним для раціональної і ефективної розробки методів застосування імунотерапії за онкологічної патології пухлин молочних залоз у собак і кішок.

Паразитарні хвороби займають більшу частину в структурі захворювань заразної етіології ставової риби та можуть нести потенційну небезпеку для споживачів продукції аквакультури. Найбільш часто реєструються захворювання що спричинюються найпростішими, моногеніями, цестодами та крустацерками. Розробка новітніх засобів, що призначені для лікування риби від ектопаразитозів, є пріоритетною задачею ветеринарної медицини. Сполуки на основі повідон йоду добре зарекомендували себе в різних галузях сільського господарства та медицини, як потужний антимікробний, противовірусний, фунгіцидний, протипротозойний, дезінфікуючий засіб. Тому розробка засобу на основі повідон йоду в рибництві є перспективною. Важливим фактором створення нового лікувального засобу є дослідження гострої токсичності і в даному випадку дослідження проводилися на рибах, так як препарат планується застосовувати в аквакультурі. Дослідження проводились на базі кафедри ветсанекспертизи, мікробіології, зоогігієни та безпеки і якості продуктів тваринництва факультету ветеринарної медицини Сумського національного аграрного університету. Для визначення показника LD50 розведення водної витяжки застосовували п'ять розведень. Повідон йод задавали у кількості 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 мг/кг Використовували для досліду питну воду відстоювали для дехлоруння протягом семи діб та аерували до концентрації розчиненого кисню в воді не менше 4 мг/дм3. Показник рН води складав 7,6. Для визначення параметрів гострої токсичності використовували особини коропів з середньою масою тіла 42±3 г. Дослідження проводили на коропах використовуючи методи Кербера, Першина та комп’ютерну програму «LD50». В результаті досліджень отримані наступні результати розрахунку середньолетальної дози встановлено за методом Кербера – 6800 мг/кг, за методом Першина – 6916,8 мг/кг, комп’ютерна програма «LD50» – 6925,9 мг/кг. В результаті розрахунку середнього показника встановлений показник 6880,9 мг/кг. Препарат на основі згідно з ГОСТ 12.1.007-76 відноситься до 4 групи токсичності (малотоксичні речовини), так як доза препарату що викликає загибель риби більше ніж 5000 мг/кг.
A review of deep eutectic solvents (DESs), Preparation, Classification, Physicochemical properties, Advantages and disadvantages
Authors: Affat Sajda
Published: June 2024

Since deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are readily available, inexpensive, highly biodegradable, and easy to synthesize, they are gaining popularity as a green alternative to hazardous organic solvents and traditional ionic liquids (ILs). DES is a mixture of hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and acceptor (HBA) that is viscous and non-water soluble. There are two main penalty areas of DES fabrication. The first is to reduce its operation temperature to lower that of  these components. The second is to produce a molten salt with a melting point lower than its components. Therefore, DESs are being utilized more and more in a range of analytical chemical applications. Different extraction techniques have been used for this kind of salt. In this review, production methods, and classification of DESs were discussed. The most physical properties of DESs were demonstrated, including melting point, viscosity, density, surface tension, phase changes in behavior, analyte solubility, instrumental compatibility, and toxicity. It also included the main advantages and disadvantages of DES production.

Human skin is an island in constant interaction between diverse microorganisms (Archaea, fungi, bacteria, and protozoa), especially the inner elbow, armpit and buttocks, of which an imminent health danger is possible during injury or their sustained proliferation. Fat-soluble lauric acid-containing palm kernel oil, hardness-giving caustic soda and water solvent were essential ingredients used to produce toilet soap in this study, via a mechanized setup. Free caustic alkali (FCA), pH and moisture content (MC), as determined for additive (honey, clove, black seed) formulations A, B, C, D and E, which are respectively in the range of 0.006-0.02%, 7.10-9.97, and 7.33-15.33%, gave a soap of desired medicinal functionality. Formulation E physicochemical property compares favorably with other soaps, including Septol, Dettol, Premier, Joy, Sunlight, and Premier Cool found in Nigerian markets. It is found that the three additives introduced into the formulation in the ratio of 33, 50 and 17%, respectively, are responsible for its septic, antioxidant, antimicrobial and sanitizing properties. With this fit achieved, improvement, packaging and mass production of the produced toilet soap already having satisfactory foam stability, lathering, cleansing, fragrance, form and quality (according to SNI standard), is encouraged in this part of the world.

Published: June 2024

This purpose of this paper is to flesh out twelve case studies under the guidance of the Marc G. Stevenson paper, "The Possibility of Difference: Rethinking Co-Management" on Ontario utilizing nine conclusions turned into topics. In it, Stevenson describes successes and failures in working with many different Indigenous communities in relation to the environment and the management of them. Overall, it shows, specifically in Ontario, a number of areas where there can be significant improvement and addressing of systemic problems, as well as progress made on present relationships, and what specifically is working in them. The intent of this paper is to further contribute to a better understanding of what may be done to improve existing relationships with Indigenous communities, and practices surrounding the environment. It will hopefully aid in future work on such topics, as an ongoing effort to do better in the understanding and respect of Indigenous communities and relationship with the environment. 
It's What Makes a House a Homo: Queer and Trans Residential Geographies of Toronto, How Identity and Kinship Influences Inhabitation of Space and Place
Authors: Casola Sam
Published: June 2024

Since the inception of Toronto's Church-Wellesley Village, mainstream discourse has classified the neighbourhood as the center of LGBT life in Toronto, grouping and defining LGBTQ2S+ histories and lives into one assumed universal experience (Idlewild, 2016; Nash, 2005; Ghazhani, 2014). Yet, The Village was established on a basis of homonormativity, which created an enclave for primarily white, middle-class, cisgender, gay men (Idlewild, 2016; Nash, 2005). The resulting marginalization of LGBTQIA2S+ individuals who did not conform to constructed norms of sexuality or gender led to their relocation beyond The Village (Nash, 2013; Bitterman & Hess, 2020). This research project explores the locations beyond The Church-Wellesley Village in which LGBTQIA2S+ individuals inhabit, including the neighbourhoods in which they reside, the housing typologies in which they live, and the ways in which identity and kinship influences inhabitation of space and place. A historic exploration of LGBTQIA2S+ dwellings and lives across the City is conducted, and a map of findings is produced. Primary data representing the current landscape is then collected, coded and utilized in forming socio-spatial maps of LGBTQIA2S+ households across Toronto and respective information related to geographic location, dwelling type, identity and kinship. Analysis of the maps is completed through a comparative approach to identify location-based themes and patterns. The project provides a deeper understanding of LGBTQIA2S+ community in Toronto by highlighting the communities' spacial experiences and living needs beyond the basis of cisgender, white, gay men. As individuals of all ages, ethnicities, genders and sexualities reside across the City, intersecting identities, kinship structures and spatial geographies of LGBTQIA2S+ individuals must be considered in order to understand and accommodate the range of lifestyles and households within the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Trust, Acceptance, and Artificial Intelligence News Anchors
Authors: Aly Tawfik
Published: June 2024

Throughout the world, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has become an integral part of everyday life and work. The emergence of intelligent media has resulted in significant changes to the news industry, largely due to the implementation of AI news anchors. The purpose of this study is to examine new audiences' perceptions of AI news anchors. A content analysis was conducted to determine how news audiences perceive AI news anchors. Comments posted on YouTube and Facebook videos that show AI news anchors reporting the news were analyzed. It was observed that AI news anchors have varying effects on their news audiences since they were first implemented in China in 2018. Findings show that 65% of all posted comments were negative, whereas 34% were positive. The results of this study were contradicting at times. For instance, many people consider AI news anchors to be fake because of their unrealistic movements, whereas others believe they resemble human newscasters in appearance. Furthermore, some viewers expressed concern that AI news anchors may be utilized by governments to promote propaganda or negative political messages. Moreover, findings indicate that news audiences are increasingly concerned that AI will result in the loss of jobs for real news anchors, deterring people from entering journalism or reporting professions.
Digital Marketing Research Plan for Increasing Brand Awareness of Kranicz Orchards
Authors: Bouzide Savannah
Published: June 2024

The agriculture sector predominantly uses a non-digital approach, primarily relying on loyal customers and word of mouth for their advertising (Bojkifá et al. 2018). Kranicz Orchards is my family's 150-acre fruit farm in southern Ontario; we have adopted an 'old school' tactic since establishing it in 1977. My MRP will help digitalize aspects of the farm's operations by implementing digital techniques such as paid search advertising, search engine optimization, social media, and video marketing. Thus, my research aims to analyze these various digital platform analytics about the farm to discover the overall effectiveness of social media and web platforms to help grow a business in agriculture.
Stochastic Synchronization and Coherence Resonance Near a Hopf Bifurcation
Authors: Jagdev Gurpreet
Published: June 2024

Noise is an inherent part of neuronal dynamics. Experimental studies have revealed that noise plays an important role in neural dynamics. It has been shown, for example, that noise can have a constructive effect on the functioning of biological systems such as noise-induced synchronization, which is typically studied in the context of excitable neural networks. Neural excitability and the bifurcations which result in the transition from quiescence to oscillation or bursting/spike emission largely determine the neurophysiological properties of neurons. For example, excitable neurons in the vicinity of a Hopf bifurcation have been shown to respond preferably to excitation and can be easily synchronized by a stochastic stimulus. In this thesis we study the roles of stochastic synchronization and coherence resonance in neuro-physiological models near a Hopf bifurcation. We begin by considering a mathematical model for a neural network in the vicinity of a Hopf bifurcation, where bursting can be induced by a stochastic stimulus. We show that the coherence of the network is optimized by an optimal level of stochastic stimulus. Then, we study the general class of such models by considering the canonical model for a normal form near a Hopf bifurcation. We show that synchronization is optimized by an optimal level of stochastic stimulus and may be further tuned by adjusting the coupling of our model in a non-trivial way.
Comparison of Methods for Differential Gene Expression Using Proteomics Count Data
Authors: Qiao Wei
Published: June 2024

The main goal of the thesis is to identify proteomics gene expression associated with certain experimental conditions or diseases. Many researchers have compared different statistical methods which identify differentially expressed genes. However, very few are relevant to proteomics datasets. The present research examines modeling, transformation, and normalization methods, selects certain leading packages with built-in methods for the proteomics datasets, and detects genes whose mean expressions differ among the treatment and control groups. Two methods, TweeDEseq and Limma-Voom, are recommended because they are superior to the other approaches regarding modeling the proteomics data and data manipulation. TweeDEseq, built on the Poisson-Tweedie model, is supposed to adapt any over-dispersion data. Although Limma-Voom is based on a negative binomial model, the Voom method can boost flexibility with its built-in function to generate a precision weight for each observation. Both methods perform a good trade-off between the statistical power and False Discovery Rate (FDR) control.
