Counter-sanctions regulation: comparative legal analysis (Russia and China)
Authors: Butakova Yana Sergeevna 
Published: November 2024

A new legal regulation is being formed in the Russian Federation related to unprecedented anti-Russian sanctions. International sanctions against Russia not only became an impetus for the development of legal institutions of Russian law, but also forced to turn to foreign anti-sanctions experience of such regulation. Under these conditions, a new legal institution of Russian law is being formed – the institute of counter-sanctions (sanctions) regulation. This process is taking place against the background of growing ties between Russia and China. At the same time, in both countries, counter-sanctions regulation is at the stage of formation. In this regard, it is relevant to conduct a comparative legal analysis, identify common and different characteristics of legislation, which will allow us to form proposals for improving Chinese and Russian counter-sanctions regulation. The author applies both philosophical and general scientific methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, critical and dialectical methods) and methods specific directly to legal science (structural-logical, formal-legal, comparative-legal). The key difference between the Chinese approach to the formation of a counter-sanctions system is its focus on prohibiting compliance with the sanctions of foreign states. There is no such prohibition in Russian regulation (but several similar bills have been submitted to the legislature for consideration) and the legislative emphasis is on protecting the country and individuals from unfriendly actions of foreign states. Although the Chinese counter-sanctions regulation differs from the Russian one, it has a number of common features with it. Also, Russian regulation is more advanced and transparent in terms of mechanisms for the introduction and control of counter-sanctions. The undeniable advantage of Russian counter-sanctions regulation is undoubtedly its official consolidation within the framework of the legal system, while in China a significant part of the sanctions are outside the official legal regulation and are located in the plane of political decisions on the country's trade policy.
A. O. Hume's artistic journalism as an intertext (on the example of pamphlets of 1886-1887)
Authors: Volkova Anna Andreevna 
Published: November 2024

The subject of this article is the intertextuality in the pamphlets ("The Old Man's Hope", "The Tidal Wave, or the Progress of political activity in India", "The Star in the East, or the Bengali National League") of the British colonial figure, founder of the Indian National Congress Allan Octavian Hume, created at the initial stage of the existence of this organization – in 1886-1887. The place and significance of using someone else's text (letters and articles by the author's opponents, official documents, texts of works of fiction and precedent texts), quotations from modern and classical literature in the literary journalism of A. O. Hume, understood as part of the Anglo-Indian literature of the Victorian era, are considered. The article defines the ways of using quotations and reminiscences by the author to enhance the impact on the reader. The methods of intertext research in A. O. Hume's journalism are receptive, cultural-historical methods and a system-functional approach. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that for the first time it examines the political pamphlets of A. O. Hume from a literary standpoint. The author comes to the conclusion that intertextuality, widespread in the journalism of the Victorian era, is also manifested in the Anglo-Indian literature of the XIX century, which is exemplified by the pamphlets under study, but has its own peculiarities related to addressing colonial issues and the population of colonies. The appeal to the precedent text promotes Hume's dialogue with the reader – an educated Englishman or a representative of the Indian intelligentsia, and intertextual elements serve to create an emotionally expressed tone of pamphlets, become a means of manipulating readers' opinions, a means of irony and sarcasm, with which the publicist denounces his political opponents.
Deciphering and objectification of semantic boundaries in Venedikt Yerofeyev's short story "At My Window"
Authors: Bezrukov Andrey Nikolaevich 
Published: November 2024

Venedikt Yerofeyev's small prose has not been practically studied. There are no serious, fundamental works on his essays, short stories, and small narrative constructs. The subject of the analysis of this article is a small text of V. Yerofeyeva "At my window". It is worth noting that in the collected works, and in other collections of the author, it is presented in a truncated form. It has not yet been possible to find a full-fledged version, although there are a number of prerequisites for the fundamentality and monumentality of this work. The purpose of the work is to identify the semantic boundaries of the story "At my window" with a possible objectification of the semantic paradigm. In the course of scientific narrative, the focus is on the plot of the story, the figurative system of the text, and the semantic artistic paradigm. The article also defines the functional load of intertextuality, since this principle defines a complex parametric variant of the addition of a semantic field. The result of the work is the concretization of the main features of the poetics of postmodernism using the example of Venedikt Yerofeyev's story "At my Window", as well as clarifying the basic highways of this work. During the analysis of the story, the main guideline was aimed at a comparative methodology, as well as a hermeneutical reading of this text. The set of terms and concepts used in the article correlates with the poetics of postmodernism, since the prose of Venedikt Yerofeyev is part of the texts of the first wave of Russian postmodernism. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that criticism does not yet have proper analytical observations regarding this story, and there are no certain value judgments. Therefore, the reception of the text is quite justified, and the accumulation of experience will allow us to complement the overall picture of the analysis of the style of Venedikt Yerofeyev. The practical nature of the work boils down to the fact that its results can be effectively applied during the decryption of the author's main work – the poem "Moscow – Petushki". The main method of correct assessment of the story should be the combination of philosophical-historical and literary-critical highways. The syncretic nature of perception generalizes the paradigm of semantic, connotative components. The text is revealed in the obvious potential of the formal and substantive levels of fusion. Venedikt Yerofeyev's story "At my Window" is not only an existing symbolic structure, not only an unfinished aesthetic object, but also an impulsive postmodern standard for the regeneration of a semantic paradigm.
Application of composite reference intervals in the diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism in the elderly: a retrospective study
Authors: Li Peijuan , Yang Wenming , Tang Guohua , Li Zhipeng 
Published: November 2024

Background
Thyroid stimulating hormone releasing hormone (TSH) is a key indicator for diagnosing subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). We evaluated factors affecting TSH levels in elderly SCH, establishing a composite reference interval, and comparing it with traditional one in diagnosis.

Methods
We collected data on patients aged ≥60 undergoing physical examinations in Chengdu, screening the influencing factors associated with TSH. Then, a two-dimensional composite reference interval was established for TSH and FT4, and the differences between the new and traditional diagnosing methods were compared.

Results
The incidence of subclinical thyroid dysfunction was about 14%, with SCH accounting for 97%. Regression analysis found that TSH levels increase as FT4 and uric acid levels decrease. Compared with the two-dimensional composite reference interval, the traditional one has a higher incidence rate of SCH.

Conclusion
Compared with the two-dimensional composite reference interval, the traditional one is more likely to overestimate the incidence rate of SCH, leading to excessive diagnosis and treatment.
Quality improvement bundles to decrease hypothermia in very low/extremely low birth weight infants at birth: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Zhong Guichao , Qi Jie , Sheng Lijuan , Zhuang Jing , Yu Zhangbin , Wu Benqing 
Published: November 2024

Background
Numerous studies have demonstrated that hypothermia in preterm infants correlates with increased morbidity and mortality, especially among those with very low or extremely low birth weights (VLBW/ELBW). An increasing number of healthcare facilities are implementing quality improvement (QI) bundles to lower the incidence of hypothermia at birth in this vulnerable population. However, the effectiveness and safety of these interventions have yet to be fully assessed. A meta-analysis is necessary to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QI bundles in reducing hypothermia at birth among VLBW/ELBW infants.

Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science through April 22nd, 2024. Study selection, data extraction, quality evaluation and risk bias assessment were performed independently by two investigators. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1.

Results
A total of 18 studies were included for qualitative analysis and 12 for meta-analysis. For VLBW infants, meta-analysis revealed a reduction in hypothermia and an increase in hyperthermia following the introduction of QI bundles (mild hypothermia, OR 0.22, 95% CI [0.13–0.37]; moderate hypothermia, OR 0.18, 95% CI [0.15–0.22]; hyperthermia, OR 2.79, 95% CI [1.53–5.09]). For ELBW infants, meta-analysis showed a decrease in hypothermia but no increase in hyperthermia after implementing QI bundles (mild hypothermia, OR 0.46, 95% CI [0.26–0.81]; moderate hypothermia, OR 0.21, 95% CI [0.08–0.58]; hyperthermia, OR 1.10, 95% CI [0.22–5.43]).

Conclusion
QI bundles effectively reduce hypothermia in VLBW/ELBW infants, but they may also increase hyperthermia, especially in VLBW infants.

A Novel Calcium‐Ion Battery Based on Dual‐Carbon Configuration with High Working Voltage and Long Cycling Life
Authors: Wu Shi , Zhang Fan , Tang Yongbing 
Published: April 2018

AbstractRechargeable batteries based on multivalent cations (e.g., Mg2+ and Al3+) have attracted increased interest in recent years because of the merits of natural abundance, low cost, good chemical safety, and larger capacity. Among these batteries, the Ca‐ion battery (CIB) shows attractive priority because Ca2+ has the closest reduction potential (−2.87 V vs standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)), to that of Li (−3.04 V vs SHE), enabling a wide voltage window for the full battery. However, most Ca‐ion batteries have low working voltage (below 2 V), as well as poor cycling stability (less than 50 cycles). Here, a high‐performance Ca‐ion full battery with a novel dual‐carbon configuration design with low‐cost and environmentally friendly mesocarbon microbeads and expanded graphite as the anode and cathode, respectively, is reported. This Ca‐ion‐based dual‐carbon battery (Ca‐DCB) can work successfully in conventional carbonate electrolyte dissolving Ca(PF6)2, with a reversible discharge capacity of 66 mAh g−1 at a current rate of 2 C and a high working voltage of 4.6 V. Moreover, the Ca‐DCB exhibits good cycling stability with a discharge capacity of 62 mAh g−1 after 300 cycles with a high capacity retention of 94%, which is the best performance of the reported CIBs, suggesting it is a promising candidate for next‐generation energy storage devices.

AbstractAimEstimations of central adiposity in pregnancy is a difficult undertaking due to physiological changes that occur in the body. Therefore, the value of some anthropometric measures particularly in pregnancy, such as body mass index (BMI), waist and hip measures are in doubt. The aim was to compare ultrasound (US) measured abdominal subcutaneous fat (USSFT) with other simple anthropometric methods for obesity assessment, evaluating these measures in pregnancy.MethodRecruited from a larger study, anthropometric measurements were performed between 11–14 weeks’ gestation on 575 women. Measuring height, weight, hip, waist circumference, skin‐folds of the triceps, thigh and supra‐iliac and USSFT. Percentage maternal fat mass was calculated using skin‐fold measures. Correlations of these measures were performed to gauge relationships.ResultsThe anthropometric measures demonstrated good correlation (0.54–0.93) between individual adipose measures skin‐folds, waist, hip, waist to height ratio (WSR) and USSFT with BMI, percentage fat mass and weight. USSFT correlated well with all anthropometric measures (0.54–0.73) correlating best with waist, WSR, BMI and weight. Waist/hip ratio demonstrated a poor correlation with USSFT, BMI, percentage fat mass and weight (0.3–0.41). Mean anthropometric measures were stratified across BMI categories describing adiposity distribution.ConclusionUSSFT correlates well with most anthropometric measures in early pregnancy. Limitations of the gravid uterus on waist measurements, hydration and compressibility of skin‐fold measures and pregnancy influences on weight and BMI assessments could be overcome using US measures. There is a potential for post hoc evaluation using US for pregnancy complications. Maternal research could benefit from a more accurate measure of adiposity.

AbstractLow‐cost multivalent battery chemistries (Mg2+, Al3+) have been extensively investigated for large‐scale energy storage applications. However, their commercialization is plagued by the poor power density and cycle life of cathodes. A universal polyimides@CNT (PI@CNT) cathode is now presented that can reversibly store various cations with different valences (Li+, Mg2+, Al3+) at an extremely fast rate. The ion‐coordination charge storage mechanism of PI@CNT is systemically investigated. Full cells using PI@CNT cathodes and corresponding metal anodes exhibit long cycle life (>10000 cycles), fast kinetics (>20 C), and wide operating temperature range (−40 to 50 °C), making the low‐cost industrial polyimides universal cathodes for different multivalent metal batteries. The stable ion‐coordinated mechanism opens a new foundation for the development of high‐energy and high‐power multivalent batteries.

AbstractSynthesis and characterization of two dodecacopper(I) extended metal atom chains (EMAC) assembled by two hexadentate bis(pyridylamido)amidinate‐supported hexacopper(I) string complexes (monomers) via the ligand‐unsupported cuprophilicity are described. In addition to short unsupported Cu−Cu contacts, two hexacopper fragments in these two dodecacopper EMACs show a bent conformation based on X‐ray crystallography. Compared with their THF‐bound hexacopper(I) monomers and protonated ligands, these ligand‐unsupported cuprophilic interactions are shown to be weak by Raman spectroscopy. DFT calculations suggest the ligand‐unsupported cuprophilicity originate from weak attractive orbital interactions, and the strength is estimated to be 2.4 kcal mol−1.
CRISPR interference–mediated metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum for homo‐butyrate production
Authors: Yoon Jinkyung , Woo Han Min 
Published: April 2018

AbstractCombinatorial metabolic engineering enabled the development of efficient microbial cell factories for modulating gene expression to produce desired products. Here, we report the combinatorial metabolic engineering of Corynebacterium glutamicum to produce butyrate by introducing a synthetic butyrate pathway including phosphotransferase and butyrate kinase reactions and repressing the essential acn gene‐encoding aconitase, which has been targeted for downregulation in a genome‐scale model. An all‐in‐one clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats interference system for C. glutamicum was used for tunable downregulation of acn in an engineered strain, where by‐product‐forming reactions were deleted and the synthetic butyrate pathway was inserted, resulting in butyrate production (0.52 ± 0.02 g/L). Subsequently, biotin limitation enabled the engineered strain to produce butyrate (0.58 ± 0.01 g/L) without acetate formation for the entire duration of the culture. These results demonstrate the potential homo‐production of butyrate using engineered C. glutamicum. This method can also be applied to other industrial microorganisms.

AbstractCancer survivorship rates have drastically increased due to improved efficacy of oncologic treatments. Consequently, clinical concerns have shifted from solely focusing on survival to quality of life, with fertility preservation as an important consideration. Among fertility preservation strategies for female patients, ovarian tissue cryopreservation and subsequent reimplantation has been the only clinical option available to cancer survivors with cryopreserved tissue. However, follicle atresia after transplantation and risk of reintroducing malignant cells have prevented this procedure from becoming widely adopted in clinics. Herein, we investigated the encapsulation of ovarian follicles in alginate hydrogels that isolate the graft from the host, yet allows for maturation after transplantation at a heterotopic (i.e., subcutaneous) site, a process we termed in vivo follicle maturation. Survival of multiple follicle populations was confirmed via histology, with the notable development of the antral follicles. Collected oocytes (63%) exhibited polar body extrusion and were fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection and standard in vitro fertilization procedures. Successfully fertilized oocytes developed to the pronucleus (14%), two‐cell (36%), and four‐cell (7%) stages. Furthermore, ovarian follicles cotransplanted with metastatic breast cancer cells within the hydrogels allowed for retrieval of the follicles, and no mice developed tumors after removal of the implant, confirming that the hydrogel prevented seeding of disease within the host. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a viable option for safe use of potentially cancer‐laden ovarian donor tissue for in vivo follicle maturation within a retrievable hydrogel and subsequent oocyte collection. Ultimately, this technology may provide novel options to preserve fertility for young female patients with cancer.
Improving culture performance and antibody production in CHO cell culture processes by reducing the Warburg effect
Authors: Buchsteiner Maria , Quek Lake‐Ee , Gray Peter , Nielsen Lars K. 
Published: April 2018

AbstractLactate is one of the key waste metabolites of mammalian cell culture. High lactate levels are caused by high aerobic glycolysis, also known as the Warburg effect, and are usually associated with adverse culture performance. Therefore, reducing lactate accumulation has been an ongoing challenge in the cell culture development to improve growth, productivity, and process robustness. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays a crucial role for the fate of pyruvate, as it converts pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl‐CoA). The PDC activity can be indirectly increased by inhibiting the PDC inhibitor, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, using dichloroacetate (DCA), resulting in less pyruvate being available for lactate formation. Here, Chinese hamster ovary cells were cultivated either with 5 mM DCA or without DCA in various batch and fed‐batch bioreactor processes. In all cultures, DCA increased peak viable cell density (VCD), culture length and final antibody titer. The strongest effect was observed in a fed batch with media and glucose feeding in which peak VCD was increased by more than 50%, culture length was extended by more than 3 days, and the final antibody titer increased by more than twofold. In cultures with DCA, lactate production and glucose consumption during exponential growth were on average reduced by approximately 40% and 35%, respectively. Metabolic flux analysis showed reduced glycolytic fluxes, whereas fluxes in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were not affected, suggesting that cultures with DCA use glucose more efficiently. In a proteomics analysis, only few proteins were identified as being differentially expressed, indicating that DCA acts on a posttranslational level. Antibody quality in terms of aggregation, charge variant, and glycosylation pattern was unaffected. Subsequent bioreactor experiments with sodium lactate and sodium chloride feeding indicated that lower osmolality, rather than lower lactate concentration itself, improved culture performance in DCA cultures. In conclusion, the addition of DCA to the cell culture improved culture performance and increased antibody titers without any disadvantages for cell‐specific productivity or antibody quality.
