Consumption of energy drinks among medical university students in Kazakhstan
Authors: Mussabekova Zhanna , Tukinova Assel 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Due to lack of information and deceptive advertising, young people widely consume energy drinks, although they should be careful because of their contents. Energy drinks contain high amounts of caffeine, sugar, and other additives that can stimulate the body. They can cause irritability, anxiety, insomnia and can increase heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate. Aim of this research was to study consumption of energy drinks among medical university students in Kazakhstan.

Methods
Cross-sectional study was conducted. A web-based questionnaire was used to collect information. Students enrolled in various courses at the medical university, including interns and residents, were invited to participate. A total of 764 respondents took part in the survey.

Results
Among the trainees, 41.4 % had consumed caffeinated energy drinks in the past six months, and at the time of the survey, 16.2 % of the respondents had consumed these drinks. Respondents who do not drink alcohol are 3 times (p<0.001) more likely not to use energy drinks compared to those who drink alcohol. Those who do not exercise are 4.7 times (p<0.001) more likely not to consume energy drinks compared to active athletes. Participants who had not consumed caffeinated energy drinks in the past six months were 1.8 times (p<0.001) more likely not to consume energy drinks compared to those who drank them.

Conclusions
Consumption of energy drinks by students can temporarily increase physical and mental performance, improve mood and raise energy levels, while at the same time, they also come with serious health risks. Therefore, educating students about the potential risks and the importance of a healthy lifestyle is essential.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper introduces a novel monthly consumption indicator: the IZA/Fable Swipe consumption index for Germany. It is based on credit card transactions data collected and anonymised by Fable Data from 2017 onwards. We study some of the properties of the data and use a so-called “one year look back rolling panel” method to construct a monthly consumption indicator expressed as a year on year percentage change. The data provisioning is fast and data is updated daily so that our indicator is stable with a 3 day lag. Moreover preliminary results for a month can be delivered as early as the middle of the month by comparing months partially. Our indicator is a new experimental early indicator ideal for nowcasting purposes and forecasting of breaking trends in consumer behaviour.

Pottery from Motion – A Refined Approach to the Large-Scale Documentation of Pottery Using Structure from Motion
Authors: Rummel Michael 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In recent years, interest in the usage of computer-based methods in archaeology, especially regarding field documentation, has grown significantly. In 2021, Göttlich et al. presented a new large-scale three-dimensional (3D) capture method for the documentation of pottery using structure from motion. This method, however, was only tested on a very small sample set and never truly conducted in a large-scale documentation surrounding. Consequently, we decided to test this workflow on a large-scale basis during three field campaigns (March 2022, November 2022, and March 2023) in Lebanon, documenting more than 4,000 sherds in total. In this article, I will present the results and observations of these campaigns, critically discuss the workflow involved (documentation and processing), and propose a refined workflow for this methodology. This article focuses solely on the relevant documentation and 3D processing.

Published: September 2024

Technology of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) are increasingly used for planning and natural resources management. GIS and RS is based on pixels is used as a tool of spatial modeling for predicting the erosion. One of the methods developed for predicting the erosion is a Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). RUSLE is the method used for predicting the erosion associated with runoff gained from five parameters, namely: rain erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), length of slopes (L), slope (S), and land management (CP). The main constraint encountered in the process of operating the GIS is the calculation of the slope length factor (L).This study was designed to create a plan of sustainable land use and low erosion through the RULSE erosion modeling by utilizing the remote sensing data. With this approach, this study was Â divided into three activities, namely (1) the preparation and analysis of spatial data for the determination of the parameters and estimating the erosion by using RUSLE models, (2) the validation and calibration of the model of RUSLE by measuring soil erosion at the scale of plots on the field, and Â (3) Creating a plan of sustainable land use and low erosion with RUSLE. The validation erosion shows the value of R2 = 0.56 and r = 0.74. Results of this study showed that the RUSLE model could be used in the Kalikonto watershed. The erosions at the value of the actual estimation, spatial Plan (RTRW) and land capability class in the Kalikonto watershed were Â 72t / ha / year, 62 t / ha / year and 58 t / ha / year, respectively

International Legal Regulation of Biodiversity Conservation in Northern Latitudes (Part 2)
Authors: Teymurov E. S. 
Published: September 2024

International scientific and technical cooperation is critically important for making effective decisions and measures to manage Arctic biodiversity. The 2017 Agreement on Strengthening International Arctic Scientific Cooperation creates a solid legal basis for intensifying current and designing new scientific research in order to obtain the best scientific data as a basis for conservation and resource management. The basis of the international legal regime for the conservation and management of biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction in the Arctic is the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. International legal acts on fisheries regulation have been adopted for all four areas of the high seas in the Arctic. The study of the Agreement on the Prevention of Unregulated Fishing on the High Seas in the central part of the 2018 SLA revealed significant shortcomings: when determining the spatial scope of application, an ecosystem approach is not used; a precautionary approach to fishing is not taken into account; the basis for the creation of a regional fisheries management organization is not created; the issue of fishing by third States remains open. The Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction 2023 develops a number of institutions, including IOE and EIA. An analysis of its provisions indicates the inexpediency of Russia’s participation in it, taking into account the existence of the 2017 Agreement and a significant system of organizations involved in the implementation of joint marine research projects. The 2023 Agreement is not capable of having a significant positive effect on international cooperation in the conservation of Arctic biodiversity, but on the contrary will create additional obstacles to scientific research and impose financial burdens.See the beginning: Lex russica. 2024;77(8):112-129.

THE PROBLEMAIICS OF ENSURING THE RELIABILITY OF THE SIDE SURFACE OF THE PISTONS OF BOOSTED ICES
Authors: Marchenko A.P. , Pylyov V.V. 
Published: September 2024

Prospective directions and trends in the development of special-purpose engines are analyzed. An increase in swept volume power density of engines leads to a critical raise in thermal and mechanical stress in the engine structural elements and to a corresponding reduction in its resource. Pistons are among the elements of boosted engines that are most prone to failure. Among the characteristic critical zones of the piston design, in which losses of parametric and physical reliability were observed, a separate critical zone on the loaded and unloaded side of the piston skirt near the piston pin bores is singled out. An analysis of publications was carried out and it was shown that the occurrence of the phenomenon of wear or seizures of the side surface of the piston skirt, which is observed for the boosted designs in the specified zone, is not explained exhaustively in the existing system of scientific views. Understanding the causes of the described phenomenon of loss of reliability is necessary for diagnosing and developing measures to prevent it at the design stage. The paper puts forward a hypothesis that explains the occurrence or non-occurrence of the loss of reliability in the process of deformation of the local zone of the side surface of the piston skirt during uneven expansion of the material in presence of creep and simultaneous stress relaxation with possible strengthening of the material by the property of creep limit. The possible cases of deformation of a certain local zone of the side surface of the piston in an elastic setting and in the presence of creep and stress relaxation processes are considered. It is shown that the process of creep deformation in the studied zone can end before the occurrence of reliability loss even for the materials that are unable to be strengthened by the property of creep limit or could be strengthened only insignificantly. The general ways of increasing the reliability of the side surface of the piston are outlined, related to ensuring the level of local stresses being below the creep limit, ensuring the completion of the creep process before the clearance reaches the critical values, as well as achieving strengthening of the material by the property of creep limit, for materials capable of it, before the occurrence of creep in operation.

American superstar cities fade as remote work sparks migration southward and inland, exacerbating urban sprawl
Authors: Azhdari Abolghasem , Sigler Thomas , Pojani Dorina 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

The rise of remote work has impacted residential and employment location decisions significantly, as physical proximity is no longer necessary for many job functions. This study examines recent trends in employment and population distribution in the United States, focusing on the impact of work-from-home (WFH) in the post-COVID-19-pandemic era. Our findings reveal that the largest cities have experienced declines in their centres, while exurban and peri-urban counties – particularly in the Sunbelt – demonstrate resilience and growth. Counties with higher WFH adoption also perform better economically. Although WFH practices have not fully decoupled jobs and people, they have reinforced existing population growth patterns driven by lifestyle, affordability, taxation, and job opportunities.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is one of the key functional centers in the human brain, which participates in various higher-order cognitive functions, studies of brain connectivity in the MTL have received extensive attention. However, the brain network models have been used to be explored from the attributes of the whole-brain connectivity matrix. Brain local connectomes may be more valuable for analyzing the network mechanisms underlying brain functions and clinical neurological symptoms. Thus, in this study, we constructed the local structural connectomes for the MTL parcellations, included the amygdala, hippocampus, and parahippocampal gyrus, acquired the characteristics of the network topology parameters and the hubs distributions. Finally, we classified the major subtypes of these connectomes by hierarchical clustering, which demonstrated that the subtypes of these connectomes were closely related to the functions, providing a basis for further exploration of the functions and modifiable hubs within MTL parcellations.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
Breast cancer (BC) is a typical females’ malignant tumors. Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a critical pathway for pathogenesis of BC. Activation of UPS determined by SKP1–cullin 1–F-box protein (SCF) E3 ligase complexes. F-Box Protein 2 (FBXO2), a pivotal member of F-box proteins family, is related with UPS and mitophagy. FBXO2 have attracted increasing attention in multiple cancers. The relationship between FBXO2 and many cancers is still unclear. Therefore, systematic research on FBXO2 and pan-cancer is very important for the development and drug resistance of BC.
Method
Transcriptome expression data of 33 cancer types were acquired from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Wilcoxon’s test was performed to estimate molecular characteristic of FBOX2 in human pan-cancer. To confirmed the relationship between FBXO2 and BC, mendelian randomization (MR) was performed. Kaplan–Meier (KM) curves to analyze the survival features of FBXO2. Additionally, the protein level and methylation level of FBXO2 was explored based on Wilcoxon’s test. Single cell sequence analyses were used to furtherly confirmed the importance of FBXO2. Finally, underlying mechanism of FBXO2 was explored from various perspectives, including gene function, immune checkpoint and tumor microenvironment.
Result
Our research revealed that FBXO2 expression were up-regulation in multiple cancers through pan-cancer analyses. It was first found to be downregulated in BC. MR analyses confirmed the caused relationship on FBXO2 and BC. Protein level analyses of FBXO2 revealed that FXBO2 was downregulated in BC. KM analyses indicated that Low FXBO2 expression had poor overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (DFS) in BC. Single cell sequence analyses revealed that FBXO2 obviously enriched in malignant epithelial cell. Our research unveiled that FBXO2 was a pivotal role in BC.
Conclusion
Comprehensive analysis unveiling immunological and promising potential value of FBXO2 in BC. It provided a new insight in pathogenesis of BC.

Abstract

K2P (two-pore domain potassium) channels, a diversified class of K+-selective ion channels, have been found to affect a wide range of physiological processes in the body. Despite their established significance in regulating proliferation and differentiation in multiple cell types, K2P channels' specific role in adipogenic differentiation (adipogenesis) remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the engagement of K2P channels, specifically KCNK2 (also known as TREK-1), in adipogenesis using primary cultured adipocytes and TREK-1 knockout (KO) mice. Our findings showed that TREK-1 expression in adipocytes decreases substantially during adipogenesis. This typically causes an increased Ca2+ influx and alters the electrical potential of the cell membrane. Furthermore, we observed a reduction in differentiation and lipid accumulation in both 3T3-L1 cell lines and primary cultured adipocytes when the TREK-1 activity was blocked with Spadin, the specific inhibitors, and TREK-1 shRNA. Finally, our findings revealed that mice lacking TREK-1 gained more weight and had worse glucose tolerance when fed a high-fat diet (HFD) compared to the wild-type controls. These findings imply that TREK-1 plays an important role in the control of adipogenesis and could be a potential target for the development of therapeutic treatments for obesity.
