The artistic value of the bestseller: the genre art of G. Yakhina’s novel “My Children”
Authors: Zang Xinyi , Guan Yuee 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The study is devoted to identifying the artistic technique “genre hybridity” in the novel “My children” by modern Russian writer Guzel Shamileevna Yakhina. The purpose of the study is to identify the hybridization of the genres of the novel “My Children”, analyse the approach to its implementation, comprehend its meaning and the effect on the formation of the author’s creative style.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material is the novel “My Children” G. Yakhina, winner of the national literary award “Big Book” in 2019. When analysing the text of the novel, a phenomenological approach, a method for reconstructing the artist’s work and his art, and textual analysis are used.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It is revealed that the text of the novel describes historical events with the help of artistic techniques characteristic of folklore genres of fairy tales and legends, and shows the essence of real history against the backdrop of fantastic flavor. “Genre hybridity” manifests itself due to the fact that the fairy-tale plots present in the text of the work play a special role, they begin to come true “in the opposite direction”. It has been established that the work reflects the author’s handwriting in the depiction of an object in the novel (Germans of the Volga region) against the background of the “ebullient era” with mythological elements, as a result of which the depth of the work’s meaning increases.CONCLUSION. It has been established that the use of genre hybridity in the novel by G. Yakhina “My Children” helps overcome the contradiction between reality and romance, historicity and fiction, providing readers with a variety of aesthetic experiences.
The texture of a media text as its key parameter
Authors: Shmeleva T. V. 
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION. The article presents an understanding of one of the parameters of a media text – its texture – in terms of its relationship with other parameters. At the same time, such a potential characteristic of a media text as polytexture is interpreted and the goal is set – to show how it determines the circulation of a text in the modern media sphere. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study is methodologically based on a semiotic interpretation of a media text and attention to the regional media field, within which texts of different discourses form texture paradigms and function along texture routes, which determines the use of discourse analysis in their study, as well as methods of semantic and stylistic analysis.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The examination of two texture paradigms of media texts – news from the discourses of health and culture – allows us to show that, taking into account the chronology of the emergence of media texts, their genres (announcement, news, post in a telegram channel, etc.), intertextuality, the relationship between the verbal and visual, etc., it is possible to establish that the initial element of the paradigms is teletext, which is explained by the commitment of the regional audience to television as a communication channel.CONCLUSION. The texture of a media text is its key parameter, which largely determines its circulation in the regional media field, the presence of its content in the attention zone of different segments of the regional audience, which essentially.

Bioleaching of Vanadium-Bearing Shale by Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans Using Pyrite as an Energy Resource
Authors: He Jingtao , Zhang Xuehui , Xiao Wei , Cai Zhenlei 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Bioleaching of vanadium (V)-bearing shale by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans using ferrous ions as the sole energy source rapidly decreases the V leaching efficiency. To reduce the formation of jarosite and improve leaching efficiency, we examined the bioleaching process of V-bearing shale-adapted A. ferrooxidans grown with pyrite, providing insight into the optimal conditions for V extraction and bioleaching. Experiments were conducted by varying the pulp density, grinding size, initial pH, initial cell concentration, and pyrite concentration. Under optimum process conditions (40 g/L pulp density, sample particle size of less than −400 mesh accounting for 56.95%, and 12 g/L initial pyrite at pH 2.00), V leaching rates were increased by 15%–25% compared to sterile controls. Moreover, this study describes the balance between V leaching from V-bearing shale by A. ferrooxidans, the synergistic effect of its oxidation products (Fe3+ and H+), and V loss by coprecipitation and adsorption of jarosite. Our findings indicate that using pyrite rather than ferrous ions as the sole energy source can reduce the influence of jarosite.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Climate change and land use are intensifying wildfires in the Brazilian Pantanal, altering the dynamics of natural grasslands. Grasslands subjected to burning can experience turnover in species composition depending on fire intensity and frequency. Understanding species persistence and regeneration strategies is essential for predicting when and where fire-induced changes in plant communities may occur. Our objective was to evaluate how fire affects the seedling stage and influences survival and development, and reproductive traits. We exposed seedlings of the grass Setaria parviflora to fire and then assessed seedling performance (e.g., survival rate, regrowth speed) and adult plant characteristics (e.g., reproduction speed, seed number per spikelet) of the surviving plants compared to those of a control group without fire exposure. We also evaluated attributes related to survival, such as culm length, leaves, architecture (tillers), and roots. The survival rate was high (77%), with regrowth speed increasing after the third day post-fire. Plants that regrew after the fire had longer roots and more tillers (± 3) compared to the control group, showing significant differences. In contrast, the control group had longer culms. Regrowth attributes reflect the primary strategy for species maintenance, and despite the faster reproduction, seed production was low. Our findings suggest that fire during the seedling stage reduces the number of seeds produced, even though it enhances reproduction speed, modifies plant architecture, and increases regeneration potential through rhizomes.
Development of a hardened industrial strain of S. cerevisiae for bioethanol production from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysates

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Sugarcane bagasse is a priority source of industrially available lignocellulose for producing residue-based fuels using microbes such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This process requires pre-treatment (such as dilute acid or steam explosion) of the lignocellulosic material, which often releases the monomeric sugars (glucose and xylose) and selected microbial inhibitors. A key bottleneck, however, remains the limited xylose ability and toxicity of the released microbial inhibitors that negatively affect the fermentation ability of the yeast. Hence, this study engineered the industrial, xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae CelluXTM4 strain for improved resistance to pre-treatment-derived microbial inhibitors by overexpressing various genes associated with inhibitor resistance phenotypes. Combinations of six homologous genes were overexpressed through 3 rounds of genomic integrations, resulting in the C4TP1 and C4TP3 groups of transformants. These were screened in 50% w/w sugarcane hydrolysate fermentations under industrially relevant conditions for bioethanol production. Key findings show that the highest bioethanol titers were from C4TP1 and C4TP3 transformants, ranging from 1.8–35.2 g/L, which far outperformed the 2.1–3.2 g/L achieved by the CelluXTM4 industrial strain. Moreover, the TFA3.3 and TFA1.4 transformants achieved 39.4 and 40.1 g/L bioethanol titers, respectively. Thus, the overexpressed genes contributed to the improved tolerance to inhibitors, resulting in a step-change improvement in fermentation performance.
Coapplication of humic acid and gypsum affects soil chemical properties, rice yield, and phosphorus use efficiency in acidic paddy soils

Published: December 2024

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of humic acid (HA), flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FG), and their combined application on soil chemical properties, rice yield, phosphorus use efficiency (PUE), and phosphorus agronomic efficiency (PAE) during rice production in acidic paddy soil, which has not been previously studied. The greenhouse experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four treatments, including a control (with no soil amendments), HA (975 kg ha− 1), FG (636 kg ha− 1), and HA combined with FG. The application of HA increased soil pH, total organic carbon (TOC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), total concentrations of P, Ca, and S, and exchangeable Ca and S. In addition, the application of HA maximized rice yield, total P uptake, PUE, and PAE. The application of FG increased the soil total Ca, whereas the coapplication of HA and FG increased TOC, CEC, available P, exchangeable Ca, exchangeable S, and total S. However, the application of FG, both alone and in combination with HA, failed to increase rice yield, PUE, and PAE owing to lower total P uptake by plants. Therefore, HA application alone is a sustainable soil management practice for acidic paddy soils. In contrast, FG application alone must be careful considered, as it resulted in disappointing agronomic effects.
Independent Testing of PIT Tags for Fisheries Research: A Framework for Standardization and Performance Evaluation
Authors: Beckley Brian , Piccinini Armando , Sherker Zachary T. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background – Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags are widely used to track animal movements and survival. Rigorous testing protocols are necessary to ensure reliability in PIT tag performance and resulting data across various environmental conditions. This study aimed to document a comprehensive testing framework for PIT tags as a model for the broader biotelemetry community, while evaluating the performance of a suite of new PIT tag offerings to determine if they met or exceeded established performance criteria. Independent testing and adherence to regionally applied standards were key components of this effort.
Results – The Voda IQ 12 mm, 10 mm, 9 mm, and 8 mm PIT tags were evaluated through a series of independent tests, including assessment of physical dimensions, electrical parameter testing, and proximity evaluations. The 10 mm and 9 mm tags passed all performance criteria, while the 12 mm tag excelled in most areas but exceeded the maximum weight threshold by 0.0022g. Despite this, the 12 mm tag showed strong detection efficiency and read range, particularly in challenging environments like the Bonneville Corner Collector. The 8 mm tags, while showing a more limited read range, offer advantages in applications requiring minimal tag burden. Independent testing played a crucial role in validating the performance of these tags under established protocols.
Conclusions – This study underscores the importance of rigorous testing for PIT tags to ensure reliability across diverse environmental conditions. Independent evaluations like these not only build confidence among stakeholders but also encourage the adoption of new technologies and vendors. The methods and results presented here offer a valuable model for testing new biotelemetry technologies, applicable across different species, ecosystems, and monitoring programs worldwide.

Abstract

Floods often affect large areas and cause serious societal consequences. Despite its importance to society, the simultaneous occurrence of floods in multiple catchments is poorly understood in Peninsular India. This study aims to map regional variations in the spatial synchronization of river floods, assess changes in regional flood magnitudes, and identify regions with similar flood behaviour. The results indicate that regional flood trends exhibit a significant decline in flood magnitudes. However, the spatial dependence of floods varies regionally and has been increasing in recent times, often extending beyond the individual river basin boundaries. Five flood similarity clusters where the catchments within a cluster are likely to experience floods in closer time intervals are identified using the combination of F-madogram and Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) clustering algorithm. The synchrony of inter-basin flooding is often overlooked as the risks are measured at individual basins. The results of the study emphasize strong connections of floods across space beyond the individual river basin boundaries in Peninsular India. We conclude that the regional and temporal variations in spatial flood dependencies must be considered for accurate regional flood hazard risk assessment.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background: The new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) was introduced in 2023, it is income-based, and help to reduce the financial barriers for almost 9 million of uninsured residents of Canada. The objective of this study was to critically appraise the available data being released by the CDCP in terms of patients’ eligibility and providers’ enrollment and participation in the program.
Methods: Cross sectional and retrospective publicly available data released by the Government of Canada and Statistics Canada in 2024 were utilized to perform descriptive statistics with means and averages.
Results: Based on annual tax income eligibility, the number of approved applicants and the number of those receiving care, and the number of oral health care providers participating in the CDCP increased 17.4%, 221.2% and 16.6%, respectively, over the two month-period of available data. According to the providers, more than 60% of their practices would be able to accommodate the additional patient visit load forecasted by the introduction of the CDCP. As wait times for existing patients increased, the likelihood of accommodating more patients decreased.
Conclusions: The CDCP is a form of publicly-funded oral health care, but enrolment may be limited if patients do not file income taxes. Most practices seem to be able to cope with the foreseen increase in patients seeking for oral health care. Service utilization and oral health indicators are still emerging; further research is needed to explore the extent to which the CDCP is addressing oral health inequities.

Published: December 2024

The “Ladoga” carbon supersite is part of the All-Russian carbon monitoring national system, it is located in the Boreal coniferous forest zone, and work is underway here to implement measures to control the emission of greenhouse gases. This study reports data on the total and carbon-associated diversity of the soil microbes of reference soils. We obtained 729 amplicon sequence variants from 35 soil samples. Total diversity is represented by 11 phyla of bacteria and 1 phylum of methanogenic archaea (for Histosol). Carbon-cycling bacteria diversity is represented by six phyla (Actinobacteriota; Proteobacteria; Acidobacteriota; Bacteroiodota; Firmicutes; and Verrucomicrobiota). The dominant carbon-cycling bacteria in the studied soils are Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria. The analysis of α- and β-diversity allowed us to identify three clusters of microbiota different in taxonomic composition — these are topsoil of Podzol and subsoil of Podzol (statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences in abundance for Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobiota were revealed). Histosol is distinguished in a separate cluster of microbial diversity; it differs from Podzol in the abundance of carbon-cycling bacteria by Proteobacteria and Bacteroiodota (p < 0.0001). Further studies of the soil microbiome of the “Ladoga” carbon supersite should be focused on the study of functionally specialized groups of carbon and nitrogen cycle microbes and their ecosystem functions.
Avian malaria parasites (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) in mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of the Curonian Spit (South-East coast of the Baltic Sea)

Published: December 2024

In recent years, numerous studies have shown an increasing prevalence of avian haemosporidian parasites in Europe. However, little is known about the vectors of these parasites, particularly specific dipterian species transmitting malaria parasites to birds. This study aims to identify vectors of avian malaria parasites on the South-East Baltic coast. Mosquito females were collected from 2020 to 2021 on the Curonian Spit of the Baltic Sea using traps with birds as bait. All insects were identified to the species level through morphological features and the PCR method. Subsequently, they were dissected to extract salivary glands for studying the presence of avian malaria infecting stages (the sporozoites). The remaining mosquito parts were used later for molecular analysis to detect haemosporidian parasite DNA. A total of 596 mosquitoes belonging to 8 species were collected. The analysis revealed that Culex pipiens is a competent vector of avian Plasmodium relictum (genetic lineages pGRW11 and pSGS1) and a potential vector for Plasmodium vaughani (genetic lineage pSYAT05) on the Curonian Spit of the Baltic Sea.
