Published: October 2024

This conceptual paper explores the integration of mindfulness principles into the development of transportation services for people with disabilities (PWDs) in Malaysia. Transportation plays a critical role in promoting inclusivity and enhancing the quality of life for PWDs, yet accessibility remains a significant challenge due to infrastructural barriers, lack of awareness, and limited empathy from service providers. Drawing on the concepts of mindfulness, which are rooted in awareness, empathy, and responsiveness, this paper proposes a framework that emphasizes inclusivity, respect, and collaboration among key stakeholders. The proposed framework emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that incorporates physical accessibility, staff training, and policy reforms. Inclusivity involves modifying infrastructure to meet universal design standards, while empathy requires transport providers to understand the unique challenges faced by PWDs and offer compassionate, tailored services. Responsiveness, a key element of mindfulness, calls for flexible and adaptive transport services that cater to the real-time needs of PWDs, ensuring that they can access public transportation with ease and dignity. By applying this mindful approach, the transportation system can become more accommodating and respectful toward PWDs, thereby reducing social exclusion and improving their mobility. This paper contributes to the growing body of literature on disability inclusion and provides actionable strategies for policymakers, transport providers, and disability organizations to work together in creating a more accessible public transportation system. Future research should investigate the practical application of this framework and its potential to drive policy changes that benefit PWDs across Malaysia.

Published: October 2024

Background and purpose: We aimed to examine the histological characteristics of vastus lateralis muscles in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) following femoral neck fractures and to explore the correlation between muscle fiber types and postoperative functional recovery.Methods: 34 patients undergoing THA for femoral neck fractures were included. A biopsy of the vastus lateralis muscle was performed during surgery, followed by immunohistochemical staining. Subsequently, image analysis was conducted to measure the average area of muscle fiber types and the number of type I and II muscle fibers, and the ratio of the area and the number of type II muscle fibers. Functional recovery was assessed 2 weeks post-surgery using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between type II muscle fibers and SPPB scores. The ratio of type II muscle fiber area and number strongly correlated with the SPPB scores, indicating a robust static association. The average area of type II fibers showed a strong correlation (r = 0.63, P < 0.001), as did the number of type II fibers (r = 0.53, P = 0.001). Moreover, the ratio of type II muscle fiber area and number significantly correlated with SPPB scores (area: r = 0.77, P < 0.001; number: r = 0.51, P = 0.002), indicating that larger and more numerous type II fibers are associated with better physical performance.Conclusion: The reduction of type II muscle fibers was strongly correlated with a low SPPB postoperative functional recovery in patients who underwent THA following femoral neck fractures.
Analysis of differentially expressed genes related to cell death in porcine kidney-15 cells at 24 and 48 hours post porcine parvovirus infection

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
This study aims to identify and characterize differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with porcine parvovirus (PPV)-induced cell death in porcine kidney-15 (PK-15) cells. By analyzing the biological processes enriched by these DEGs and exploring their interaction networks, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PPV-mediated cell death.

METHODS
After infecting cultured PK-15 cells with PPV for 24 and 48 hours, cell viability and cysteine-requiring aspartate protease-3 (caspase-3) activity were assessed using an enzyme marker. Apoptosis was observed using fluorescence microscopy. The genome-wide gene expression levels were analyzed through RNA sequencing. The functional enrichment of DEGs was analyzed using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database, and the protein-protein interaction network was generated using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins database.

RESULTS
Porcine parvovirus inhibits cell viability, boosts caspase-3 activity, and enhances cell death at 24 and 48 hours postinfection (HPI). Porcine parvovirus–infected cells showed 547 DEGs at 24 HPI and 1,765 at 48 HPI. Different forms of cell death were enriched in 149 genes that were upregulated at both 24 and 48 HPI. More DEGs associated with cell death were involved at 48 than at 24 HPI. These DEGs are involved in multiple signaling pathways and interact within a complex protein network.

CONCLUSIONS
Porcine parvovirus infection of PK-15 cells induces multiple cell death–related DEGs and signaling pathways.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Our study presents a promising approach to investigating the mechanism of PPV infection, with a particular focus on the induction of cell death.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Diabetic foot syndrome is a syndrome of specific conditions affecting the foot. It is a complication of diabetes. It occurs in 12–25% of patients with diabetes. Untreated, it leads to irreversible deformities and necrosis of the foot, often resulting in amputation. In this study the statistics and consequences of diabetic foot syndrome are described. Patients with diabetes need to take care of their lower limbs. Proper footwear can prevent foot wounds. Available solutions for the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot syndrome are presented herein: footwear, insoles and requirements for footwear materials. Appropriate equipment for a person with diabetes, especially one who has been diagnosed with diabetic foot syndrome or is at risk of such a condition, includes footwear and replaceable insoles. The parameters of footwear, insoles and footwear materials that are most optimal for patients with diabetes and diabetic foot syndrome were defined. The effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field and pulsed ultrasound on diabetic foot problems was evaluated.

Abstract
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are the most destructive nematode species in main pistachio cultivation areas of Iran, and adversely affect crop quality and yield. So far, Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica have been reported infecting pistachio. In this study, four populations of M. arenaria were found infecting pistachio in Kerman and Khorasan Razavi provinces. The morphology and morphometrics of the recovered populations closely match the data given for other populations of the species. Molecular characterization of the recovered populations was performed by sequencing three genomic and mitochondrial regions, including D2-D3 of LSU rDNA, COII-16S and Nad5 mtDNA. The D2-D3 sequences had more than 99% identity with many sequences of tropical species. The COII-16S sequences had more than 99% identity with sequences of M. arenaria, M. morocciensis and M. thailandica. The Nad5 sequences had 99.81% identity with some sequences of M. arenaria. The D2-D3 and COII-16S sequences of M. arenaria did not form independent clades in corresponding Bayesian trees, but Nad5 sequences formed a monophyletic group in corresponding phylogeny. Based on this study, M. arenaria is present in Iran’s pistachio gardens, necessitating appropriate management measures.
Investigation of Gas-Turbine Afterburner with Aluminized Fuel-Rich Propellant

Published: October 2024

This paper describes the design and development of a compact afterburner system for a mini gas turbine engine using aluminized fuel-rich propellant. The working principle of the system is analogous to a dual combustor ramjet engine in which the propellant is burnt in the primary chamber. Hot gases from the primary chamber combust further in the secondary chamber with incoming air from the inlet. In this work, fuel-rich gases were injected into the afterburner through radially mounted gas generators. The hot gases mix with the oxygen-rich turbine exhaust and burn further, resulting in high-enthalpy gases. These high-enthalpy gases were expanded in the convergent nozzle to generate higher exit velocity. This study investigated the thrust enhancement capability of the gas turbine afterburner system with fuel-rich propellant grains at different operating conditions. Furthermore, the effect of increasing afterburner length and decreasing nozzle exit diameter on the performance of the system was also examined. An overall static thrust of about 320 and 360 N was obtained for three and four grains, respectively, with maximum unburnt fuel residues of 11% in both the cases, out of which four grain configurations achieved a maximum thrust enhancement of around 180%.

Objetivo: Identificar as principais disfunções sexuais decorrentes do tratamento de câncer do colo do útero e verificar a eficácia de recursos e tratamento fisioterapêutico nas mesmas. Métodos: Através do levantamento nas bases de dados LILACS, PubMed, BVS Brasil e Scielo, foram encontrados artigos nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Resultados: A partir do levantamento feito nas bases de dados com ajuda das palavras-chave, foram incluídos 6 artigos que abordaram informações acerca das principais disfunções sexuais pós-tratamento de câncer do colo de útero e sobre o uso de recursos e do tratamento fisioterapêutico em mulheres com essas disfunções. A fisioterapia destaca-se como uma abordagem positiva por melhorar a saúde ginecológica e a função muscular e sexual após o tratamento de câncer de colo do útero. O treinamento dos músculos do assoalho pélvico também promete melhorar a função sexual. Apesar de não ter havido um aumento significativo na função perineal, houve uma melhoria na satisfação sexual entre mulheres com anorgasmia. Considerações finais: Os estudos analisados mostraram, ainda, o efeito positivo da fisioterapia na melhora da função sexual de mulheres pós-tratamento de CCU, porém há poucas publicações sobre o assunto.
Influence of Walt Disney’s Work on Soviet Cartoons
Authors: Chashkina Lyudmila Yu. 
Published: October 2024

In the mid-1930s, Walt Disney’s cartoon characters conquered screens all over the world. The Soviet Union was not spared from this fascination. Despite the fact that Soviet animation took its first steps in the mid-1920s and by the time of the Disney craze already had several successful films (e.g., “The Rink”, “The Post Office”, “Black and White”), domestic cartoonists fell under the “Disney hypnosis”. This leads to active borrowing of Disney methods, imitation of the performing manner, copying characters. At the newly established studio “Soyuzmultfilm” with the approval of high film bosses begins work on the creation of “his Soviet Mickey Mouse”. For the basis of cartoon production take the flow method – conveyor, which allows, thanks to the use of celluloid sheets instead of paper, accelerate the production of cartoons. This method of creating cartoon pictures divides artists into supporters and opponents of Disney methods. Some of the opponents are leaving the profession, believing that the conveyor belt method would turn the art of animation into a craft.However, even uncompromising supporters of Disney animation quickly realize that direct copying of the great master’s tapes leads domestic animation to a dead end, as it becomes obvious that Disney’s tricks, techniques and images cannot be adapted to traditional stories: folk tales, fables. In addition, in the second half of the 1930s, the USSR changed its cultural policy. All this leads to the struggle against “Disney” and the search for their own unique style of Soviet animation.The article analyses the memoirs of cartoonists N.P. Khodataev, I.P. Ivanov-Vano, A.V. Ivanov, F.S. Khitruk and others, their perception of Disney’s work, their attitude to the borrowing of the master’s creative methods, as well as the experience of creating their own works using Disney technologies.

Published: October 2024

В статье анализируются изменения экологической культуры россиян, происходящие на фоне развития в стране острых кризисных ситуаций. Рассматривается пример кризиса 2020–2021 годов, вызванного пандемией COVID-19. Цель статьи – выявление связанных с распространением, течением и отступлением пандемии COVID-19 изменений экологической обеспокоенности россиян и их вовлеченности в практики природосохранения. Анализ строится на результатах вторичного анализа данных всероссийских опросов общественного мнения 2018–2024 годов и официальной статистики 2019–2022 годов. Как показали полученные результаты, с распространением пандемии на первый план вышли подкрепленные объективными изменениями условий жизни в стране экономические страхи россиян, в связи с чем их экологическая обеспокоенность и установки на природосохранение снизились и продолжают падать даже после отступления коронакризиса. Таким образом, можно сделать вывод о том, что в кризисных ситуациях экологическая культура в стране снижается, причем происходящие изменения носят долговременный характер. Данная статья является первой статьей серии, во второй статье влияние кризисов на взаимоотношения человека с окружающей средой будет раскрыто более детально в ходе анализа пандемийной динамики экологической культуры в Казани.
The article analyzes the changes in the environmental culture of Russians taking place against the background of the development of acute crisis situations in the country. An example of the crisis of 2020–2021 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is considered. The purpose of the article is to identify changes in the environmental concern of Russians and their involvement in environmental conservation practices related to the spread, course and retreat of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis is based on the results of a secondary analysis of data from the All-Russian public opinion polls 2018–2024 and official statistics 2019–2022. As the results showed, with the spread of the pandemic, the economic fears of Russians, supported by objective changes in living conditions in the country, came to the fore, and therefore their environmental concerns and environmental conservation attitudes decreased and continue to fall even after the retreat of the coronacrisis. Thus, it can be concluded that in crisis situations, the environmental culture in the country is declining, and the changes that are taking place are of a long-term nature. This article is the first article in the series, in the second article the impact of crises on human relations with the environment will be revealed in more detail during the analysis of the pandemic dynamics of environmental culture in Kazan.

Published: October 2024

В статье дается характеристика современной промышленной политики, при этом в России сформировались разные подходы к пониманию термина промышленная политика. Традиционный подход предусматривает активную роль государства в проведении промышленной политики, а институциональный подход рассматривает возможности государства как субъекта (института) в ее проведении. Существует также либеральный подход к пониманию промышленной политики. Далее, промышленная политика трансформировалась в новую форму, при которой происходит объединение всех ранее существовавших подходов в проведению промышленной политики. Современный комплекс инструментов новой промышленной политики должен сочетать в себе элементы государственного и рыночного подходов.
The article provides a description of modern industrial policy, while different approaches to understanding the term industrial policy have been formed in Russia. The traditional approach provides for an active role of the state in implementing industrial policy, and the institutional approach considers the capabilities of the state as a subject (institution) in its implementation. There is also a liberal approach to understanding industrial policy. Further, industrial policy has transformed into a new form, which combines all previously existing approaches to the implementation of industrial policy. The modern set of instruments of the new industrial policy should combine elements of the state and market approaches.
Возможности развития садового туризма в России
Authors: Н.В. Горошко , С.В. Пацала 
Published: October 2024

Число людей, увлеченных выращиванием растений и просто любителей сада, не становится меньше. В условиях глобального роста интереса к «зеленой» повестке, увеличивается и популярность такого развитого среди населения стран «золотого миллиарда» туристского направления, как садовый туризм. Стимулами тому и старение населения (а среди пожилых людей садоводство приобрело особую популярность), и практика жизни в собственном доме, и определяемый ею интерес к ландшафтной архитектуре и дизайну. Удивительно, но в России, где «дача» стала абсолютно своеобразным и массовым явлением отечественной культуры и быта, национальной идеей и частью культурного кода, где более 14 млн жителей занимаются садоводством и огородничеством, садовый туризм остается новой нишевой разновидностью туризма. Это определило цель работы — теоретическое исследование перспектив использования объектов декоративного садоводства в качестве ресурса развития садового туризма в России. Раскрываются факторы развития садового туризма в стране, приводится характеристика объектов, составляющих ресурсную базу для развития направления, а также примеры их использования в отечественной практике. На основе swot-анализа делается вывод о перспективах развития садового туризма в России.
The number of people who are passionate about growing plants and just garden lovers is not getting smaller. In the context of the global growth of interest in the «green» agenda, the popularity of such a developed tourist destination among the population of the «golden billion» countries as garden tourism is also increasing. The incentives for this are the aging of the population (and gardening has become especially popular among the elderly), and the practice of living in one’s own home, and the interest in landscape architecture and design determined by it. Surprisingly, in Russia, where the «dacha» has become an absolutely peculiar and massive phenomenon of domestic culture and everyday life, a national idea and part of the cultural code, where more than 14 million residents are engaged in gardening and gardening, garden tourism remains a new niche type of tourism. This determined the purpose of the work – a theoretical study of the prospects for the use of decorative gardening objects as a resource for the development of garden tourism in Russia. The factors of the development of garden tourism in the country are revealed, the characteristics of the objects that make up the resource base for the development of the direction are given, as well as examples of their use in domestic practice. Based on the swot analysis, a conclusion is made about the prospects for the development of garden tourism in Russia.
