The influence of Ambrosia trifida on vegetative production of A. artemisiifolia
Authors: Savic Aleksandra , Mileusnic Ana , Pavlovic Danijela , Bozic Dragana , Vrbnicanin Sava
Published: December 2020

Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed) and A. trifida (giant ragweed) are
very important weed species that are invasive in Serbia and are often found
in agricultural regions. When these weeds are present at high densities, crop
yields can be significantly reduced or even completely destroyed. Unlike A.
artemisiifolia, A. trifida is locally present in the Central Backa region
(Vojvodina province), and it is expected that its area of distribution will
expand in the future. Starting from the assumption that future distribution
of A. trifida could take on larger proportions than now, the aim of this
study was focused on examining the interaction between these two species.
Experiments were conducted using the replacement design model, in which
Ambrosia trifida/Ambrosia artemisiifolia per m2, were planted as density
ratios of 10/0; 8/2; 4/6; 6/4; 2/8, and 0/10, in a completely randomized
block system with four replications. The vegetative parameters (height and
dry mass) of A. artemisiifolia were measured in July, August and September
over a period of two years (2016 and 2017), and the results were
statistically analysed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS 23). In July 2016, the average height of A. artemisiifolia was in the
range between 35.00 and 50.40 cm, in August it was from 68.00 to 95.50 cm,
and between 83.75 and 99.80 cm in September. In the following season (2017),
the corresponding values ranged from 56.19 to 78.50 (July), 98.38 to 125.50
cm (August) and 111.19 to 148.50 (September). An increase in the number of A.
artemisiifolia plants and decrease in A. trifida counts per m2 caused an
increase in the dry mass of A. artemisiifolia per plant. The dry mass of A.
artemisiifolia ranged from 4.22 to 6.11 g/plant (July), 8.96 to 10.27 g/plant
(August) and 7.04 to 19.53 g/plant (September). In the following season,
these values ranged from 9.62 to 14.60 g/plant, 14.37 to 28.90 g/plant, and
23.43 to 40.47 g/plant in July, August and September, respectively. Minimum
values of vegetative parameters were recorded in the treatment with 2 plants,
and maximum in the treatment with 10 A. artemisiifolia plants/m2. This means
that interspecific competition is more pronounced in this ragweed species
than intraspecific competition.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Department of Architectural Design, M. Habrel
Published: December 2020

Housing policy is one of the most important in the development of cities, because the availability of housing is a fundamental human need. Analysis of research on housing construction in cities has led to the conclusion that a number of fundamentally important issues of housing policy and its elements are not reflected in the literature and create serious difficulties in improving relations in the housing sector. The article substantiates the model of housing policy for large cities of Ukraine with the disclosure of the spatial and urban aspect. Approaches to the formation of housing policy as a coordination of actions and decisions in the spatial organization and development of cities are identified, the need for systematic measures by the state, local authorities, citizens and investors is confirmed.  Spatial coordination of policy is based on the model of space (man - conditions - functions - geometry - time), can serve as a methodological tool in justifying both housing policy in general and specific housing projects in cities. Based on the five-dimensional space model, the analysis of individual dimensions and their interactions was carried out, which made it possible to structure arrays of information on the state and dynamics of the housing situation, identify indicators of spatial assessment in the city and substantiate principles, macro characteristics, requirements and regulations of housing policy. The article solves the following tasks: analysis of the domestic situation and experience of European countries in relation to housing policy; approaches to improving the housing policy of large cities are substantiated; the model of substantiation of housing policy in the cities of Ukraine is offered. The object of the study was the spatial and urban aspect of housing policy of large cities, the subject of the study - the methodological tools for its justification.
INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURAL IDEAS OF THE FUTURE DWELLINGS

Published: December 2020

Residential architecture has one of the most conservative styles based on its specifics. However, today this type of architecture seeks to actively respond to changes in the modern world. These changes are caused by multiple factors, among them are: technological and information progress; lack of resources and environmental pollution; military conflicts and population migration etc. The purpose of this article is to summarize the experience of the Department of Architectural Environment of Lviv Polytechnic National University over housing issues and outline the methodological principles of innovation in designing both individual houses and the architectural environment of residential formations. While writing this article, we analyzed the 15-year experience of Architectural Environment's Department diploma projects. The unique feature of these projects is the priority on the design of the environment. The evolution of diploma project topics is revealed on multiple distinctive examples such as the reconstruction of old buildings in Lviv and the construction of prefabricated homes and container-type housing. Futuristic settlements are represented in projects such as “The Ocean Settlements” and “Prykarpatsk - the City of Future”. Research projects were developed to study current trends in housing design and the impact of innovative technologies on planning decisions. These projects discoursed the protection of housing from traffic noise and issues related to environmental preservation. Innovative architectural ideas of future housing, developed by students in these projects, are based on a combination of aesthetic, technical, and social components of architecture. The conclusion indicates that when educating future architects, it is important to teach them the basics of the craft, as well as the ability to defend their innovative ideas. The emphasis is placed on the importance of educating the architect's personal responsibility for their own design solutions. It is stated that professional motivation and the ability to constantly renew previously acquired knowledge and skills will be among the main tasks in training future architects.

The aim of the article is to reveal the tendency to use images of the Constantinople capital's architecture in the projects of sacred buildings in Galicia at the beginning of the XXI century. Under the hieratopy of New Rome means the special status of Constantinople - the sacred center of the World Christian (Roman) State. After the fall of Constantinople, the image of New Rome became available for reproduction in previously remote corners of the Byzantine world, including in the construction of the identities of certain modern nations formed in the nineteenth century. It is underlined that the hieratopy of New Rome became an important part of Ukrainian identity searching within the sacred architecture of Galicia. It is determined that in varying degrees, it was characteristic of the search for a national manifestation both in the period of the turn of the XIX - XX centuries, and of the Independence period in the turn of the XX - XXI centuries. It is determined that for this last period, an important factor was the significant improvement of relations between the Western (Latin) and Eastern (Orthodox) churches, the rehabilitation of Eastern traditions in Roman Catholic discourse. Also the article shows examples of a number of buildings, which testify to different variants of architecture work of sacred buildings in Galicia (West Ukraine) with images of hieratopia of New Rome. Furthermore is given a ways in which it fits into the existing stereotypes of architectural manifestation of Ukrainian national identity and symbolism, as well as manifestations of Ukrainian national identity.

Authors: Ibrahim Ali Salar
Published: December 2020

Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) emergence reveals  globally a great health issue and due to the limited information and knowledge on the origin of this novel coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCoV). Therefore, this study aims to investigate the evolution and analysis of molecular epidemiology for both Spike and Envelope proteins of 20 available complete genome sequences of different bat coronaviruses including 2019-nCoV in order to find out which type of bat coronaviruses is more likely to be the origin of this new 2019-nCoV and also multiple amino acid sequences of Envelope protein for all bat coronaviruses were aligned for the purpose of finding the greater probability of novel 2019-nCoV original host   among bat coronaviruses. Phylogenetic tree analysis for Spike protein revealed that all 2019-nCoV related coronaviruses isolated from these species of species are discovered in China and Hong Kong and the Middle East bat are less likely to contribute in spreading or to become the origin of 2019-nCoV and all coronaviruses that from Hong Kong and China are located into one clade next to the clade that contains 2019-nCoV coronaviruses which indicates that this group of coronaviruses are genetically different for 2019-nCoV; moreover, Hong Kong and USA bat coronaviruses does not contain the bat coronavirus from China and are located into one clade far from the clade that contains 2019-nCoV indicates that all coronaviruses are genetically very different from 2019-nCoV, and USA bat coronavirus may has no role in generating of 2019-nCoV. The phylogenetic trees analysis of Envelope protein showed that Envelope protein of different coronaviruses are more similar in comparison to Spike protein, USA bat coronavirus has a relatively closeness relationship to 2019-nCoV. Furthermore, Envelope protein alignment showed the closely related amino acid sequence which confirms that the outcomes of phylogenetic tree analysis in which that these bat coronaviruses have genetically close relationship together and more interestingly amino acid sequence (MG772934.1) shows 100% identity with the amino acid sequence of 2019-nCoV (NC 045512.2) and the same virus has a close relationship in both Spike and Envelope due to that in both phylogenetic tree analysis are neighbored with 2019-nCoV in the same clade.

The development of energy storage systems allows us to consider their usage for load profile leveling during operational planning on electricity markets. The paper proposes and analyses an application of an energy storage model to the electricity market in Russia with the focus on the day ahead market. We consider bidding, energy storage constraints for an optimal power flow problem, and locational marginal pricing. We show that the largest effect for the market and for the energy storage system would be gained by integration of the energy storage model into the market’s optimization models. The proposed theory has been tested on the optimal power flow model of the day ahead market in Russia of 10000-node Unified Energy System. It is shown that energy storage systems are in demand with a wide range of efficiencies and cycle costs.

The GOELRO Plan adopted 100 years ago is briefly characterized, and the importance and necessity of its adoption under the conditions of post-revolution devastation and foreign intervention are substantiated. It is pointed out that the scales of the modern electric power industry are incommensurable with those the plan developers imagined in their dreams. The article tells about the establishment of large state, interstate, and intercontinental electric power systems and pools that make it possible to usefully utilize the system effects, which are profitable to all participants of the pools. It is pointed out that radical changes have occurred in the technology of energy generation, transmission, distribution, storage, and consumption, and also that transformations have occurred in the structure and properties of the systems. Digitalization of the systems implies improvement in the efficiency of production processes and development of new software products to perform control of substations, regional networks, etc. The future electric power systems will acquire the response of well-developed intelligent cyber-physical systems operating on the principles of electric power internet.

Published: December 2020

En este trabajo estudiamos las configuraciones internas de los tres personajes “principales” de Pharsalia, César, Catón y Pompeyo. Ciertas características de cada personaje, como la energía demoníaca de César, la virtud inhumana de Catón o la amechania de Pompeyo impiden que cualquiera de ellos pueda ser considerado el “héroe” del en el sentido tradicional; lo mismo sucede con ciertas representaciones y acciones que se suceden en el nivel diegético, donde el carácter sanguinario de César, la boda fúnebre de Catón o las dudas constantes de Pompeyo ofrecen argumentos para cuestionar las bases éticas y morales de cada uno. Estas inadecuaciones en la estructura profunda de cada personaje se complementan unas a otras, subvirtiendo la representación heroica tradicional dentro del poema y conformando un nuevo tipo de héroe: un monstruoso héroe de tres cabezas más acorde a la naturaleza de este poema que canta el fin de una era y el nacimiento de otra, nueva y monstruosa.

Authors: ATCALI Türker , YILDIZ Ramazan
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada; neonatal ishalli buzağılarda farklı etiyolojik faktörlerin hemogram parametreleri üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Araştırmada 1-20 günlük yaşta 44 ishalli, 18 sağlıklı toplam 62 buzağı kullanıldı. Rektumdan alınan dışkı örneklerinde Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, Cryptosporidium, Rotavirus ve Coronavirus etkenlerine yönelik immunokromatografik test kitleriyle bakılıp buzağılar gruplandırıldı. Vena jugularis’den alınan kanlarda total lökosit, granülosit, lenfosit, monosit, eritrosit ve hematokrit parametreleri ölçüldü. Deney grubu buzağıların total lökosit, granülosit ve monosit düzeylerinin kontrol grubuna göre önemli düzeyde yüksek (p<0,05) olduğu saptandı. Lenfosit, eritrosit ve hematokrit düzeyleri yönünden ise kontrol ve deney grubu buzağılar arasında farklılık tespit edilmedi. İncelenen tüm hemogram bulguları yönünden alt deney gruplarındaki buzağıların kendi aralarında ve kontrol grubuyla arasındaki farkların önemsiz olduğu (p>0,05) belirlendi. Sonuç olarak hemogram parametrelerinin ishalli buzağılarda önem arz ettiği ancak etiyolojik faktörlere göre farklılık göstermediği görüldü. Bu değişikliklerin etiyolojik faktörlerin tipi, sayısı, hayvanın durumu, tablonun şiddeti/süresi gibi birçok faktörden etkilenebileceğinden dolayı değişiklik göstermediği kanısına varıldı. Konuyla ilgili daha fazla hayvan üzerinde ve çevresel faktörlerin kontrol altına alındığı çalışılmaların yapılması gerektiği görüldü.
Considerations for asthma management and viral transmission in the era of COVID-19
Authors: Pitlick Mitchell M. , Joshi Avni Y.
Published: December 2020

Background: As the global COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded, there has been much debate surrounding the optimal management of patients with asthma who are at risk of or contract COVID-19, whether asthma and steroids are risk factors for severe COVID-19, and how transmissible
the virus is among children. Objective: The objective of this study is to provide allergists and other clinicians with pearls pertaining to the management of patients with asthma in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide some information regarding the risk
of transmission among the pediatric population. Methods: Utilizing the case of one of our own patients with asthma who developed COVID-19 as context, we review the recent literature discussing the risk of COVID-19 in patients with asthma, the management of asthma medications
in the time of the pandemic, and the risk of viral transmission. Results: Despite initial reports that asthma was a risk factor for developing severe COVID-19, subsequent investigation has shown that this is likely not true. Additionally, the use of systemic or inhaled
glucocorticoids does not appear to increase the risk of severe COVID-19, but there is no evidence guiding the use of biologic therapy. There is conflicting evidence regarding the ability of children to transmit the virus. Conclusion: We provide pearls that asthma does not
appear to be associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 and continued use of inhaled corticosteroids appears to be safe. While there is no evidence guiding the use of biologic therapies, a recent position paper suggests that they should be continued unless a patient contracts COVID-19,
at which point they should be held until clinical recovery occurs.

Exotic Radionuclides – What are they good for?
Authors: Schumann Dorothea , Maugeri Emilio , Dressler Rugard
Published: December 2020

Accelerator waste contains a number of rare isotopes that are urgently needed in various fields of scientific research. Activated components from the surroundings of high-power accelerators like the HIPA cyclotron at PSI are valuable sources for such 'isotope mining' . While the isotope
production itself is practically 'for free' , because the irradiation takes place anyway, the challenge is the chemical extraction of the required isotopes from the activated matrix material. The article presents an overview on the attempts and achievements of more than 15 years research and
development in the research group 'Isotope and Target Chemistry' at PSI and presents some of the highlights in scientific applications.
Radionuclide Chemistry in Nuclear Facilities Based on Heavy Liquid Metal Coolants: Past, Present and Future
Authors: Neuhausen Jörg
Published: December 2020

Heavy liquid metals such as lead and lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) are considered as spallation target material for next-generation neutron sources and as coolant of fast spectrum nuclear reactors that are developed to facilitate more efficient use of nuclear fuel as well as transmutation
of long-lived nuclear waste. During the operation of such facilities, the heavy liquid metal will be activated by nuclear reactions. Additionally, fission product radionuclides may be introduced into the liquid metal from leaking fuel pins or by fission of the target nuclei in spallation.
The chemical behaviour of these radioactive contaminants in the liquid metal – especially their immediate volatilization or volatilization of formed secondary compounds – may affect the safety of such facilities. The present article summarizes the activities of PSI's Laboratory
of Radiochemistry towards a better understanding of the chemistry of potentially hazardous radionuclides in LBE and discusses aspects that need to be addressed in future to support the licensing of heavy liquid metal-based nuclear facilities.

With a rising incidence of COVID-19–associated morbidity and mortality worldwide, it is critical to elucidate the innate and adaptive immune responses that drive disease severity. We performed longitudinal immune profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 45 patients and healthy donors. We observed a dynamic immune landscape of innate and adaptive immune cells in disease progression and absolute changes of lymphocyte and myeloid cells in severe versus mild cases or healthy controls. Intubation and death were coupled with selected natural killer cell KIR receptor usage and IgM+ B cells and associated with profound CD4 and CD8 T-cell exhaustion. Pseudo-temporal reconstruction of the hierarchy of disease progression revealed dynamic time changes in the global population recapitulating individual patients and the development of an eight-marker classifier of disease severity. Estimating the effect of clinical progression on the immune response and early assessment of disease progression risks may allow implementation of tailored therapies.

Globally the crop insect pests damage the 30% of agriculture production due to insect spoil, and the situation is very awful in particularly developing countries such as India.  There are large number of insect pest families are well known which induce the critical destroy to agriculture crops. Crop insect pest’s harm is one of the significant features that ruin the agriculture crop productivity, although the large-scale utilization of chemical pesticides. The successfulness of the pesticides depends upon the interaction of chemicals with the physiology of the insect of the pests. In India, the Nezara viridula Linn, is one of the critical insects because of its destructive feeding on major crop which is the utmost source of economic deprivation in agriculture. The enzymes present in the gut and salivary glands of the N. Viridula play key role in the feeding behaviour. Presently very little is investigated about the gut and salivary glands of the N. Viridula at minute level. We first time investigated the different enzymes existing in the gut and salivary gland using the chemical inference. This research work is carried out to analysis the enzymes for digestive and feeding behaviour of N. Viridula which will assist the biologists to manage the challenges are created by their resistance to the traditional chemical insecticides used for prevention of N. Viridula (a type of southern green stink bug) inhabitants and high reproductive amplitude. The extensive statistics of invertase enzymes, maltase, alpha galactosidase, amylase, esterase, proteinase and polypeptidase enzymes for the N. Viridula in salivary glands and gut inspired by this research imparts supplementary resource for further understanding of the biology of this Pentatomidae (Heteroptera) species.
Response of soybean (Glycine max L.) to application of lime and phosphate fertilizer in an acid soil of western Kenya

Published: December 2020

The effect of combining lime and phosphate fertilizer on the performance of soybean (Glycine max L.) was investigated in a pot experiment consisting of nine treatments of three rates of lime (0, 4 and 8 t ha−1) in a factorial combination with three rates of phosphorus (0, 15, and 30 kg P ha−1) at Maseno University in western Kenya. There was a significant interaction between the lime and phosphorus rate on the biomass dry weight of soybean. At the rates of 0 and 4 t ha-1 of lime, the biomass dry weight of soybean increased with increasing rates of phosphorus but at 8 t ha-1 of lime, the dry weight of soybean increased from 0 to 15 kg P ha-1 but declined at 30 kg P ha-1. There was however no significant interaction between lime and P rates on grain weight but the effects of both P and lime rate were significant. When applied without lime, 30 kg P ha-1 gave significantly higher grain (5.3 g pot-1) weight than 15 kg P ha-1 (1.6 g pot-1) of soybean, which was also significantly better than the control (0.0 g pot-1). When applied without phosphorus, both lime rates at 4 and 8 t ha−1 significantly increased grain weights of soybean compared to the control, but the grain weights of soybean between the two lime rates did not differ significantly. The highest yields of soybean were obtained when 4 t ha−1 of lime was applied with 30 kg P ha−1 (19 g pot-1). Therefore, this study demonstrates that the ameliorating deleterious effects of soil acidity through liming should simultaneous be accompanied by application of P fertilizer at appropriate rates.

For sustainable boro rice production in Bangladesh, a balanced fertilization to improve the current soil condition caused by mono-application of inorganic fertilizers and appropriate rice variety selection are very crucial. Therefore, an experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the boro season of December 2016 to May 2017 to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on two boro rice cultivars. The varieties were BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29 and eight kinds of nutrient management viz., control (no fertilizers), recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers (120-60-40 N, P2O5, K2O kg ha-1 + gypsum 60 kg ha-1 and ZnSO4 @ 10 kg ha-1), full dose of poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1, cowdung @ 10 t ha-1, poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 50% prilled urea and full dose of other inorganic fertilizers, cowdung @ 5 t ha-1 + 50% prilled urea and full dose of inorganic fertilizers, poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 75% prilled urea and full dose of inorganic fertilizers, and cowdung @ 5 t ha-1 + 75% prilled urea and full dose of other inorganic fertilizers. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Result showed that, yield and yield components of boro rice were significantly influenced by variety, nutrient management and interaction of variety and nutrient management. In respect of grain yield, BRRI dhan29 produced the maximum yield (5.46 t ha-1). BRRI dhan28 showed poor performance with all characters and gave the minimum yield (4.07 t ha-1). In case of nutrient managements, the highest yield and yield component were obtained from poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 50% prilled urea and full dose of inorganic fertilizers and produced the maximum grain yield (5.70 t ha-1). In the interaction of variety and integrated nutrient management, the highest grain yield (6.83 t ha-1) and straw yield (7.61 t ha-1) was obtained from poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 50% prilled urea and full dose of inorganic fertilizers with BRRI dhan29 variety. So, BRRI dhan29 with 2.5 t ha-1 poultry manure + 50% prilled urea and full dose of the recommended inorganic fertilizers might be a promising practice for boro rice cultivation.
