Published: December 2024

IntroductionDuring adolescence, due to lack of experience, individuals may engage in or tolerate certain non-consensual acts under coercion. There are significant associations between forced sexual intercourse and a range of negative effects on reproductive health, as well as psychological and emotional health. Studies on non-consensual sexual acts among adolescents are rare in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This study is one of the first to focus on urban adolescents, aiming to assess the prevalence of non-consensual sexual acts and to identify associated factors.MethodsData for this study were obtained from the baseline survey of the project “Reducing the Vulnerability of Adolescents and Young Girls to Violence and HIV/AIDS Infection,” conducted in 2018 in the provinces of Kinshasa and Kasaï Oriental among adolescents aged 10-24 years. A total of 2,123 adolescents were surveyed (46.8% in Kinshasa and 53.2% in Kasaï Oriental). A structured survey questionnaire was developed in French to collect data. This questionnaire was pre-tested and corrected before use. Non-consensual sexual acts were assessed using three variables: (i) Have you ever experienced non-consensual touching, (ii) Have you ever experienced an attempted forced sexual intercourse, and (iii) Have you ever been physically forced, injured, or threatened to have sexual intercourse. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on these three variables separately.ResultsAmong all adolescents surveyed, 11.5% reported having experienced non-consensual touching, 15.3% reported having experienced an attempted forced sexual intercourse, and 5.8% reported having been physically forced, injured, or threatened to have sexual intercourse. Among the 575 sexually active adolescents, these proportions were 43.4%, 57.4% and 22.0%, respectively. Prevalences were higher among girls and in the province of Kinshasa. Factors associated with non-consensual sexual acts included gender, cohabitation with biological parents (father and mother), age at first sexual intercourse, communication about sexuality or intimate subjects with a family member, and adolescents' perceptions of the role and place of partners in intimate relationships. A quarter (25.5%) of adolescents who were victims of forced sexual intercourse and were aware of an appropriate institution or person sought help from a professional for the violence they experienced.DiscussionThe results revealed a high prevalence of non-consensual sexual acts, the significance attributed by adolescents to traditional beliefs regarding the dominant role of men in intimate relationships, and the existence of barriers preventing victims of sexual violence from seeking appropriate care. These findings advocate for providing healthcare services tailored to the needs of adolescents and adapted to sociocultural contexts.
Quantifying the effects of water management decisions on streambank stability
Authors: Wei Q. , Brookfield A. , Layzell A. 
Published: December 2024

Both natural processes and human activities alter streamflow conditions, which can significantly affect streambank erosion and stability, leading to consequences such as sedimentation of reservoirs, contamination of streams, loss of productive land, and damage to infrastructure. Hydrological conditions, which are often controlled by water management decisions and infrastructure (e.g., reservoirs and dams), are a major factor affecting streambank erosion and stability. Extensive research has explored the relationships between hydrology, water management, and streambank stability. However, limited studies directly address the impacts of water management decisions, particularly reservoir operations, on the driving mechanisms of streambank stability such as changes in pore water pressure, pressure differentials between the surface and subsurface, and gravitational forces versus shear stress. This study builds upon these existing concepts by integrating them into a model that accounts for both the effects of water management and inherent hydrologic conditions on streambank stability.The module estimates streambank stability using a factor of safety approach, with hydrologic conditions derived from an established integrated hydrologic model, HydroGeoSphere, coupled with the surface water operations model, OASIS. This module is validated and then demonstrated using simulations from the Lower Republican River Basin in Kansas, United States. Results indicate that several water management decisions, such as groundwater pumping and timing of reservoir releases, may negatively affect streambank stability by changing pore water pressure, the weight of the bank material, and the pressure differential between the surface and the subsurface. Given that most of the rivers and streams of the world are regulated by reservoir operations, this work demonstrates that water management practices need to be considered in simulations of streambank stability.

Published: December 2024

IntroductionThe effects of resveratrol (RES) and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyric acid (HMB) on phenotype, immunity, digestive enzyme activity and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) contents in ileum of Tibetan sheep were investigated.MethodsA total of 120 two-month-old Tibetan sheep (15.5 ± 0.14 kg) were randomly allocated to 4 treatments: control group (basal diet), RES group (basal diet +1.5 g RES/d), HMB group (basal diet +1.25 g HMB/d), RES-HMB group (basal diet +1.5 g RES/d + 1.25 g HMB/d).ResultsResults indicated that dietary RES and (or) HMB supplementation significantly improved the phenotype (mucosal thickness and villus width), SCFAs concentrations, and digestive enzymes (lipase, cellulase, and α-amylase) (p &lt; 0.05). The relative abundance of Brevibacillus, Clostridium sensu stricto 3, and Eubacterium hallii group were increased, while the abundance of Ruminococcus and Mogibacterium were decreased (p &lt; 0.05) in the RES-HMB group. The metabolic profiling indicated an increase in the differential metabolites (DMs) including L-arginine, butanoic acid, D-mannose, and retinol were increased in the RES-HMB group (p &lt; 0.05).DiscussionIn summary, our results suggested that RES and (or) HMB supplementation improved SCFAs concentration by up-regulating the microbial community abundance (Brevibacillus, Clostridium sensu stricto 3, and Eubacterium hallii group) and metabolism (L-arginine, butanoic acid, D-mannose, and retinol), thus contributing to ileal morphology and digestive enzyme activity. These findings may provides a novel reference for the nutritional regulation to improve the production of Tibetan sheep.
Development of the reinforced concrete resistance theory in the zone about reinforcement
Authors: Kolchunov V. I. , Fedorova N. V. , Llushchenko T. A. 
Published: December 2024

The actual problem of resistance of near-reinforcement zone of concrete is solved as a problem of volumetric stress-strain state with "closure" of output integral parameters of this zone on the rod scheme of the whole reinforced concrete element synthesizing hypotheses and dependencies of various disciplines of mechanics of solid deformation body, including fracture mechanics. The calculation model of the reinforced concrete element takes into account the effect of reinforced concrete of prof. Vl.I. Kolchunov describing the mechanism of formation and development of transverse and longitudinal cracks. In this case, generalized hypotheses of linear and angular deformations for warping and gradients of jumps of relative mutual displacements of reinforcement and concrete are adopted. New functionals of reinforced concrete are constructed, which are consistent with the ideas about resistance of crosssections of rod elements in near-reinforcement zones. Physical equations for a concrete matrix modeled between transverse cracks are written. The displacement components for the near-reinforcement area are found in relation to the crack opening width at the boundary of the "concrete-reinforcement" contact in transverse, longitudinal and radial cracks, respectively. The use of the accepted assumptions and multi-level calculation scheme for the near-reinforcement region significantly brings the calculation model closer to a real assessment of physical phenomena.

Published: December 2024

Актуальность исследования заключается в том, что экономическая политика в сфере научно-технологического развития различных стран обусловлена интересами крупного капитала (ТНК), что сейчас в соответствии со сменой этапа глобализации этапом деглобализации выливается в применение западной группой стран антироссийских санкций (в XX веке – антисоветских, антигерманских, антииранских, в XXIвеке – антикитайских, антивенесуэльских, антисирийских). Проблема для России и ее регионов заключается в выборе направлений научно-технологической политики в периоды глобализации и деглобализации. Цель исследования – выявление специфики научно-технологической политики в периоды глобализации и деглобализации методом сравнительного анализа. Результат/вывод: в России обосновано применение в научно-технологической политике модели догоняющего развития.
The relevance of the study lies in the fact that economic policy in the field of scientific and technological development of various countries is conditioned by the interests of large capital (TNCs), which now, in accordance with the change of the stage of globalization, the stage of deglobalization results in the implementation of anti–Russian sanctions by a Western group of countries (in the XX century – anti-Soviet, anti-German, anti-Iranian, in the XXI century - anti-Chinese, anti-Venezuelan, anti-Syrian). The problem for Russia and its regions lies in the choice of directions of scientific and technological policy during periods of globalization and deglobalization.

This study focuses on derivational suffixes that are found in textbook "Sixth Grade Elementary School" by Evan Moor. This project aims to discover the types and process of derivational suffixes in the data source, the data was collected using an observation method, and it was analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data used in this research were analyzed using theory from Plag (2003) and McCarthy (2002). The study identified four main types of derivational suffixes: nominal, verbal, adjectival, and adverbial suffixes. A total of 98 data derivational suffixes were identified. The research revealed that nominal suffixes were the most common at 58 data of suffixes included -er, -ing, -ment, -ion, -ance, -ence, and -ness. Followed by adjectival suffixes accounted 22 data, comprise suffixes like -ly, -al, -able/-ible, -ful, -ous, -less, -ive, and -ish. Adverbial suffixes with 15 instances characterized by the suffix -ly. Verbal suffixes was the least frequently found in the data analysis at 3 represented by -ize. Based on the finding indicate that derivational suffixes as the most dominant, it is relevant with the theory which is explain that the number of nominal suffixes were frequently than other suffixes. The process of derivational suffixes which is described with flat structure it really help to decide the changing of word class process happen in the data.

Purpose of the study. To conduct a comparative analysis of E-cadherin expression in inoperable patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and with different survival rates.Materials and methods. The study included 96 patients with inoperable NSCLC: 84 (87.5 %) men and 12 (12.5 %) women, whose average age was 62.4 ± 0.68 years. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was diagnosed in 78 (81.25 %) patients, and adenocarcinoma (AC) with a tumor differentiation grade of G2-G3 in 18 (18.75 %). The patients were treated and monitored at the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology. The expression of cadherins was determined in the tumor cells of the biopsy specimens. The obtained data have been processed using the Statistica 13.0 program (StatSoftInc., USA). The studied data have been checked for compliance with the normal distribution using the Shapiro-Wilk criterion.Results. The following distribution of patients with NSCLC was noted: IIA – 2 (2.1 %), IIB – 14 (14.6 %), IIIA – 51 (53.1 %), IIIB – 29 (30.2 %), i. e. the frequency of stage III is higher than stage II (83.3 % (n = 80) versus 16.7 % (n = 16), p < 0.001). Fatal outcome occurred in the SCC group within 1 year in 28 patients, within 1 to 2 years – in 30, 20 patients survived for 3 years or more. For AC, these figures were 6,5 and 7 respectively. The analysis revealed that E-cadherin expression was noted in both squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma: Me 55 [LQ 37; UQ 65] and Me 50 [LQ 40; UQ 70], respectively.Conclusions. 1. The analysis revealed that E-cadherin expression was observed in both squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinomas without statistically significant differences between the compared groups (p = 0.25). 2. Statistically significant differences in the levels of E-cadherin expression were noted in the biopsy samples of the 2 groups only with survival up to 1 year and up to 3 years or more (p < 0.05).

Estudios afirman que el reciclaje es una práctica que puede fortalecer la conciencia ambiental y promover un estilo de vida sostenible si se trabaja desde la educación básica, donde el impacto es más significativo puesto que ayuda a inculcar hábitos y valores ambientales desde edades tempranas. En este contexto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la influencia del reciclaje como alternativa de educación ambiental con estudiantes de 5º grado de educación general básica de la Unidad Educativa “Dr. Ricardo Alfonso Abad Solórzano” cantón Chone, período 2023–2024. La metodología se enmarcó en un enfoque mixto de corte cualitativo, cuantitativo y explicativo apoyado del estudio de campo documental y bibliográfico. La muestra fue 11 estudiantes de 5º grado de básica media, 4 docentes y 1 directivo del plantel. Se aplicó la técnica de la encuesta a docentes para identificar qué estrategias de conciencia ambiental aplican; se entrevistó al directivo para conocer planes y programas escolares inherentes a la conciencia ambiental; así también se participó en procesos de clases en quinto año para detectar si usan el reciclaje como estrategia que promueva la conciencia ambiental. Los instrumentos aplicados fueron validados a través de juicio de expertos. Los resultados indican que, aunque los docentes demuestran un compromiso con la enseñanza del reciclaje, enfrentan el desafío de la falta de interés por parte de muchos estudiantes; lo que se reafirma con la observación de campo que revela el nivel de participación y reflexión por parte del alumnado; sin embargo, se cuenta con el liderazgo directivo que está abierto a planificar capacitaciones y crear condiciones propicias para la promoción de la conciencia ambiental dentro de la comunidad educativa.
