Зміни вмісту ферменту Рубіско в листках рослин пшениці озимої різних сортів за дії посухи
Authors: Власюк Валерія , Бондаренко Оксана 
Published: July 2021

Посуха є основним обмежуючим фактором продуктивності багатьох сільськогосподарських культур рослин. Фотосинтез – найбільш важливий, водночас і найбільш вразливий біологічний процес. При дослідженні адаптації фотосинтетичного апарату рослин до недостатнього водозабезпечення, в якості важливої ключової ланки розглядається фермент РуБісКО. РуБісКО є основним карбоксилюючим ферментом більшості автотрофів та фотосинтетичних бактерій. Виявлено, що фермент РуБісКО складає приблизно половину всього білку в листках рослин. РуБісКО в листках є чинником, що визначає інтенсивність асиміляції СО2, тому активність РуБісКО вважають основним лімітуючим внутрішнім фактором фотосинтезу. Існує припущення, що глобальні екологічні зміни спричиняють зсув ланок лімітування продуктивності фотосинтетичного апарату, серед яких на перший план вийдуть транспорт електронів і функціонування ферменту РуБісКО. Для виявлення відмінностей вмісту ферменту РуБісКО в листках рослин пшениці озимої під дією посухи, було обрано сорти Єдність і Подільська Нива.
Результати дослідження показали, що вміст ферменту РуБісКО в рослинах озимої пшениці сорту Єдність за дії 7-денної посухи знижується на 35%. Також показано, що при таких самих умовах в рослинах озимої пшениці сорту Подільська Нива показник вмісту ферменту РуБісКО зменшується не істотно – на 7 %. Таким чином, аналіз змін вмісту ферменту РуБісКО в різних сортах озимої пшениці за дії посухи показав більш високу стійкість фотосинтетичного апарату листків рослин сорту Подільська Нива.

Published: July 2021

Згідно стратегії екологічного розвитку України до 2030 року для підвищення індекса екологічної ефективності (Environmental Performance Index, EPI) планується зменшення енергоємності ВВП з 0.286 кг (2020 рік) до 0,186 кг (2030 рік) умовного палива на один долар США. Оскільки одним із найбільш енергоємних галузей промисловості є енергетика, то така задача безпосередньо стосується цієї галузі. З точки зору екологічних проблем електричні станції взагалі та їх основні елементи повинні відповідати екологічним нормативам.
Згідно виробленої електроенергії у 2020 році ТЕС України використали мінімум 5,9 млрд м3 води з якої кількість свіжої води складає близько 10-20%. Основна частина спожитої води ТЕС (близько 90%) використовується оборотними системами охолодження (ОСО) Таким чином, ТЕС потребує великої кількості водних ресурсів, використання яких у кінцевому результаті призводить до зміни природного водного балансу навколишнього середовища, гідрологічних і водно-хімічних режимів водотоків. Все це у свою чергу призводить до небажаних змін в локальних і в перспективі глобальних екосистемах.
Метою даної роботи є разрахунок викидів оксиду вуглецю на прикладі ТЕС потужністю 2500 МВт і оцінка наслідків недостатньо ефективної роботи ОСО для паросилової частини ТЕС. Згідно розглянутої методики розраховано основні екологічні показники оксиду вуглецю для ТЕС, потужністю 2500 МВт, що використовує вугілля марки АСШ, які наведені у таблиці. Таким чином, валові викиди шкідливих речовин за рахунок недогріву води ОСО на 1⁰С складають 0,75 тис. т/рік. При цьому досліджувана умовна ТЕС за рік утворює стовп димових газів над містом Київ близько 47 метрів. Такий результат вказує на малу перспективність розвитку вугільної теплової енергетики і важливість розробки заходів покращення її ефективності.

Abstract
The current enthusiasm for circular economy (CE) offers a unique opportunity to advance the impact of research on sustainability transitions. Diverse interpretations of CE by scholars, however, produce partly opposing assessments of its potential benefits, which can hinder progress. Here, we synthesize policy-relevant lessons and research directions for a sustainable CE and identify three narratives – optimist, reformist and skeptical – that underpin the ambiguity in CE assessments. Based on 54 key CE scholars’ insights, we identify three research needs: the articulation and discussion of ontologically distinct CE narratives; bridging of technical, managerial, socio-economic, environmental and political CE perspectives; and critical assessment of opportunities and limits of CE science-policy interactions. Our findings offer practical guidance for scholars to engage reflexively with the rapid expansion of CE knowledge, identify and pursue high-impact research directions, and communicate more effectively with practitioners and policymakers.
Preideals in EQ-algebras

Published: July 2021

Abstract
EQ-algebras were introduced by Nov´ak in [15] as an algebraic structure of truth values for fuzzy type theory (FFT). Nov´ak and De Baets in [17] introduced various kinds of EQ-algebras such as good, residuated, and IEQ-algebras. In this paper, we define the notion of (pre)ideal in bounded EQ-algebras (BEQ-algebras) and investigate some properties. Then we introduce a congruence relation on good BEQ-algebras by using ideals, and then we solve an open problem in [18]. Moreover, we show that in IEQ-algebras, there is an one-to-one corresponding between congruence relations and the set of ideals. In the follows, we characterize the generated preideal in BEQ-algebras and by using this, we prove that the family of all preideals of a BEQ-algebra, is a complete lattice. Then we show that the family of all preideals of a prelinear IEQ-algebras, is a distributive lattice and become a Heyting algebra. Finally, we show that we can construct an MV-algebra form the family of all preideals of a prelinear IEQ-algebra.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background: Ethiopia is a Sub-Saharan country with very high neonatal mortality rates, varying across its regions. The rate of neonatal mortality reduction in Ethiopia is slow, and Ethiopia may not meet the third United Nations sustainable development target by 2030. This study aimed to investigate the spatial variations and contributing factors for neonatal mortality rates in Ethiopia.Methods: We analysed data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey, which used a two-stage cluster sampling technique with a census enumeration area as primary and households as secondary sampling units. A hierarchical Bayesian logistic regression model was fitted accounting for socio-economic, health service-related and geographic factors. Results: Higher neonatal mortality rates were observed in eastern, northeastern and southeastern Ethiopia, and the Somali region had higher risks of neonatal mortality. Neonates from dry and drought-affected areas had a higher risk of mortality compared to more humid and less drought-affected areas. Application of traditional substances on the cord increased the risk of neonatal mortality (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) =2.05, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.10 to 4.26) and health provider counselling on newborn dangers signs in the first two days after birth had a lower odds of neonatal mortality (AOR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.75).Conclusions: Applying traditional substances on the umbilical cord, lack of counselling services about neonatal danger signs within the first two days of birth and residing in dry and drought-affected areas were associated with a higher risk of neonatal mortality. Policy-makers and resource administrators at different administrative levels could leverage the findings to prioritise and target areas identified with higher neonatal mortality rates.
Sustainable Development of Natural Gas Vs Renewable &amp; Alternative Energy at Aburoad
Authors: SATAPATHY SUDHANSU SEKHAR , Srivast Sandeep 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background :-It has been observed that the development of Natural Gas in the form of Piped Natural Gas for household sector &Compressed Natural Gas for transport and industrial sector is a part of City Gas Distribution in India is in evolving stage. Before the establishment of Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board, the sector was not so structured & directional. Later on, the safety practices of natural gas business were looked into and guidelines were framed.How the strategic marketing of natural gas is done in the form of Piped Natural Gas for household sector &Compressed Natural Gas which is getting influenced by product supply , pricing mechanism as per demand , place with infrastructure and promotion using innovation & technologyis also discussed in this paper. Result :-This paper tries to find out the marketing strategies required to make use of natural gas as substitute to all alternative energy like coal, petrol & diesel and renewable energy like solar & wind energy available in India and particularly at Aburoad market. The result obtained on the basis of qualitative and quantitative survey indicate that as the natural gas market in India is not so matured and also there is no natural gas market Aburoad. Also the increasing pricing of alternative energy and insufficient availability of renewable energy is paving the path for higher natural gas demand and consumption which is envisaged in future perspective.The results indicate that Infrastructure &Demand are exerting stronger influence than Supply &Technology on Natural gas business at Aburoad . It means that the management needs to take steps to build up the Infrastructure &ensure Demand for strategic marketing of natural gas as compared to alternative and renewable energy.Conclusion:-Considering the climate change and for improving the living standard of the resident in the pollution free environment , it is very much important to proliferate the natural gas market and other renewable energy as compared to alternative energy
Calpain-TRPC6 Signaling Pathway Contributes to Propofol-induced Developmental Neurotoxicity in Rats
Authors: She Ying-Jun , Xu Hai-Ping , Gao Yin , Wang Qiong , Zheng Jun , Ruan Xiangcai 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background: Compelling experimental evidence suggests a risk of neuronal damage following early childhood exposure to anesthesia and sedation drugs, including propofol. We investigated whether the TRPC6 channel could protect neonate rats against neuroapoptosis following prolonged exposure to propofol. The potential role of calpain, a neuronal TRPC6 protease, was also investigated.Methods: Postnatal day (PND) 7 rats were exposed to five bolus injections of 25 mg/kg propofol or 10% intralipid at hourly intervals. Neuronal injury was assessed by the expression pattern of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end labeling staining and cleaved–caspase-3. The Morris water maze test was used to evaluate learning and memory functions in later life. Calpain activation and TRPC6 expression were also studied. Pretreatments consisting of intracerebroventricular injections of a TRPC6 agonist, TRPC6 inhibitor, or calpain inhibitor were used to confirm the role of the calpain-TRPC6 pathway in propofol-induced neurotoxicity.Results: Prolonged exposure to propofol induced neuronal injury, downregulation of TRPC6, and enhancement of calpain activity in the cerebral cortex up to 24 h after anesthesia. It also induced long-term behavioral disorders, manifesting as longer escape latency at PND40 and PND41 and as fewer platform-crossing times and less time spent in the target quadrant at PND42. These propofol-induced effects were attenuated by treatment with the TRPC6 agonist and exaggerated by the TRPC6 inhibitor. Pretreatment with the calpain inhibitor alleviated the propofol-induced TRPC6 downregulation and neuronal injury in the cerebral cortex.Conclusions: A calpain-TRPC6 signaling pathway contributes to propofol-induced acute cortical neuron injury and long-term behavioral disorders in rats.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Vision-based robotics has been the subject of several research contributions in the area of vision and control. Vision technology is becoming a pioneer in the most common applications such as localization, automated map creation, autonomous navigation, mapping analysis, or risk pattern prediction. The Stereo applications or programs use pairs of 2-D images as inputs and generate reconstructed 3-D imagery by locating the matching points. This paper introduces a method to the development of an algorithm of intelligent 3-D view reconstruction using binocular vision for robotic applications. The proposed system consists of two identical colour cameras and cameras were mounted as one stereo camera. 3-D reconstruction and visualization were performed according to the pair of 2-D images. Calibration, multi-view image acquisition, the stereo rectification process, and the disparity process were discussed in Sect. 2. Real-time captured images and stereo images from Middlebury Stereo Datasets were used to test the system and verify results in Sect. 3.
Prevalence of Carbapenem Resistance and their Genotypic Profile among Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Western India
Authors: Das Parijat , Shrutiraaj Kumar Anand , Ranjan Manish , Sen Sourav 
Published: July 2021

Background: Resistance to carbapenems due to carbapenemases has been increasingly noticed worldwide. Detection of carbapenemases among Gram‑negative bacteria (GNB) is important for
both clinicians and infection control practitioners. Both phenotypic and molecular methods can be used for detection of Carbapenemases production. Molecular methods although the gold standard for detection of carbapenemases are not used routinely as they might not be immediately available coupled with expertise required, cost and infrastructure incurred and limited by the number of targets detected.
Methods: Consecutive non-repeat gram negative isolates isolated from various clinical specimens from intensive care unit (ICU) were included in the study. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on Mueller Hinton’s agar by Kirby Bauer Disc diffusion method as per the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Isolates resistant to Meropenem were further screened for carbapenemase producing genes using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results were statistically analysed.
Result: A total of 350 gram negative bacteria were screened for carbapenem resistance. Carbapenem resistance was found in 109 GNB. The metallo‑ β‑lactamases were most common carbapenemases followed by KPC.
Conclusion: Carbapenemase producing bacteria are a major threat of the 21st century. Preventing emergence and spread of these pathogens through strict infection control practices, judicious use of antibiotics and early and timely detection will contribute in preserving carbapenems, the last resort antibiotics.
Escala de clasificación y puntaje para la evaluación de las condiciones de salud de la comunidad de corales del Parque Nacional Jardines de la Reina, Cuba
Authors: Hernández Fernández Leslie 
Published: July 2021

Para conocer el estado de salud de los arrecifes se han creado protocolos que permiten evaluar indicadores ecológicos sobre grupos focales de organismos que habitan en ellos. En este estudio se propone una escala específica, de clasificación y puntaje de condición de salud, para seis indicadores ecológicos (densidad, número de especies por transecto, cobertura, muerte antigua, muerte reciente y densidad de reclutas) de la comunidad de corales del Parque Nacional Jardines de la Reina. Se estudiaron 29 sitios de buceo autónomo SCUBA, situados en escarpes poco profundos y designados como sitios de referencia, que fueron comparados con otros 52 sitios no utilizados para el buceo. También se estudiaron 27 crestas de arrecifes, usando como sitio de referencia la más conservada del área de estudio (La Puntica). Se aplicó la prueba no paramétrica de Kruskal Wallis y se realizó un análisis de frecuencia a través del programa Statistica 7. Para los indicadores ecológicos evaluados se propusieron cambios en la escala específica, con respecto a la sugerida para Cuba y el Gran Caribe, adecuando los niveles de la nueva escala a valores obtenidos en un análisis integral y teniendo en cuenta, fundamentalmente, los sitios de referencia. Con una condición de “Muy buena”, se clasificó la densidad con valores >20 colonias 10 m-1 en escarpes y >14 colonias 10 m-1 en crestas. El número de especies, >10 en escarpes y ≥6 en crestas. La cobertura >30 % para ambos hábitats. Muerte antigua ≤10 % para ambos hábitats. Mortalidad reciente, ≤1 % para ambos hábitats. Densidad poblacional de reclutas, >20 reclutas m-2 en escarpes y >10 reclutas m-2 en crestas. Se recomienda la creación de una escala específica de clasificación y puntaje para la condición de salud en cada AMPs, que permitiría realizar acciones de manejo acorde a características intrínsecas de sus arrecifes coralinos.

An Investigation Using Specific Absorption Rate Analysis to Diagnose Early-
stage Breast Tumor using UWB Antenna
Authors: Krishnan Rahul , M.C Jobin Christ 
Published: July 2021

Aims:
This work was focused on the detection of early-stage breast tumors and their location.

Background:
The most frequently seen disease progression and mortality in women's lives is
Breast Cancer. Because of breast cancer/tumors, the risk of mortality for women has risen exponentially.
From the 2020 deadline for breast cancer, women who died from carcinoma were 123.8 cases
per lac women between 2006-2010. This problem is also overcome by the early identification of
the tumor using different detection procedures like X-ray mammography, computerized tomography,
ultrasound imaging technique, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI), microwave imaging. Researchers carried out multiple studies in these areas.

Objective:
To detect early-stage breast tumors and their location using SAR analysis.

Methods:
The major dielectrical difference between cancerous breast tissues and normal tissues in
this technique is the microwave frequency range. The term Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) describes
the amount of energy which is absorbed (W/kg) in the breast tissue. This segment illustrates
the usefulness to diagnose the tumor position in the breast by means of maximum SAR value coordinates.
Changes in breast and tumor size are important for the risk of diagnosis. The power absorbed
in connecting with a normal breast and a tumor breast is measured and equivalent for different
breast masses. The maximum SAR is also analyzed at distinct tumor locations at various frequency
ranges.

Results:
It is observed that max SAR coordinates are very close to the actual tumor location. So,
the maximal value of SAR coordinates indicates the existence of a tumor in the breast phantom.

Conclusion:
The simulated data above strongly suggests that the Max SAR values were higher in
the breast phantom with tumor as compared to the breast without tumor. With different tumor radius
(3 mm and 5 mm) analyzed with different resonant frequencies like 3GHz, 4GHz and 5GHz at
the actual tumor location of (0, 0, 35). Even though a model representing the real properties of
breast tissue is required to assess the validation of any imaging process, so the real-time development
of an equivalent breast phantom and its execution is needed.
