Разработана и апробирована на бурых углях Канско-Ачинского и Южно-Уральского бассейнов методика получения гуминовых (ГК), гиматомелановых (ГмК) и фульвокислот (ФК), которая позволяет достичь их высокого выхода. Наибольший выход гуминовых веществ достигнут для естественно окисленного бурого угля Тисульского месторождения: ГК - 60.9 %, ГмК - 11.3 %, ФК - 9.6 %. Изучен состав нативных бурых углей и полученных из них ГК, ГмК и ФК с использованием методов технического и элементного анализа, ИК-Фурье и 13С ЯМР (CPMAS) спектроскопии. Установлено, что химический и структурно-групповой состав ГК, ГмК и ФК имеет значимые различия. Образцы ГмК и ФК характеризуются относительно высоким содержанием кислородсодержащих алифатических групп с преобладанием карбоновых кислот и сложных эфиров по сравнению с ГК. Для ГК характерно более высокое содержание углерода, водорода и ароматических фрагментов. Образцы ГмК и ФК имеют схожий элементный и структурно-групповой состав, однако у ГмК выше содержание углерода и ароматических фрагментов.
The procedure for obtaining humic (HA), hymatomelanic (HmA) and fulvic acids (FA) that allows achieving their high yield has been developed and tested with the brown coals of the Kansk-Achinsk and the South Ural basins. The highest yield of humic substances is achieved for naturally oxidized brown coal of the Tisul deposit: HA - 60.9 %, HmA - 11.3 %, FA - 9.6 %. The composition of native brown coals, as well as HA, HmA and FA obtained from them, was studied using proximate and ultimate analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and 13C NMR (CPMAS) spectroscopy. It is established that the chemical and structural-group composition of HA, HmA and FA has significant differences. The samples of HmA and FA are characterized by relatively high content of oxygen-containing aliphatic groups with the predominance of carboxylic acids and esters in comparison with HA. Higher content of carbon, hydrogen and aromatic fragments is characteristic of HA. The samples of HmA and FA have similar elemental and structural group composition, however, HmA has a higher content of carbon and aromatic fragments.

Published: October 2024

Cataract surgery is the most common elective procedure and has been shown to increase patients' visual acuity. However, visual acuity alone cannot adequately represent their quality of life. Quality of life can be measured with a standardized questionnaire, such as the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument. Patients with better quality of life pre-operatively will benefit less from cataract surgery. This study aimed to describe patients' quality of life after long-term cataract surgery in the National Eye Center Cicendo Eye Hospital. This cross-sectional descriptive study used primary data collected using a questionnaire from March to May 2022. The subjects were 33 people with cataracts who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery at Cicendo National Eye Hospital over the past three and six months of the study. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were given the NEI-RQL 42 questionnaire. In visual clarity, patient expectations, near vision, far vision, daily fluctuations, activity limitations, suboptimal correction, and satisfaction with correction variables, an increase in value at three months was observed, yet slightly decreased at 6 months. There was decreased glare complaints, symptoms, and dependence on correction at preoperative, 3 months, and 6 months. An increase in the level of concern and appearance from preoperative, 3 months, and 6 months post-operative was observed. Thus, an improvement in the patient's quality of life is observed three months after surgery, yet decreases slightly in six months after surgery.

Published: October 2024

Nasal irrigation with saline is frequently used as an alternative therapy for sinonasal diseases since it effectively reduces sinonasal symptoms and improves the quality of life when measured by various subjective instruments. The mechanisms of action of saline irrigation remain unclear, but some hypotheses attribute the direct physical cleansing of thick mucus, allergens, and pollutants. This study aimed to determine the effect of nasal saline irrigation on the nasal mucosa using the modified Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score as the objective evaluation. This pre-post-experimental study was conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from May to June 2023. The study included 18 individuals presenting with sinonasal symptoms. Participants meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria who provided informed consent were trained in nasal saline irrigation. Patients were assessed at baseline and one week after nasal saline irrigation using endoscopy, TNSS, and MCC time. Results revealed that the mean of endoscopic scores before and after saline irrigation were 6.89±1.1 and 5.33±1.4, respectively (p-value 0.006), while the mean of TNSS scores before and after saline irrigation was 6.17±2.3 and 4.28±2.6, respectively (p-value 0.006). Thus, nasal saline irrigation significantly improves the endoscopy and TNSS scores, but not the MCC time.

Authors: Kurilova Elena , Kutergin Nikolay 
Published: October 2024

Introduction: the Russian Federation is taking effective measures aimed at preventing and solving crimes related to illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs. Most of the measures applied in practice today are not effective enough and need to be significantly improved. Despite the fact that the forces of the state and society are aimed at actively combating drug trafficking, it is necessary to improve the system of countering this type of criminal encroachment against public health. The measures taken should be comprehensive and aimed at a more detailed study of the identity of the drug offender, the search for causes and conditions conducive to the commission of the illegal acts in question. In the paper, some recommendations are made to improve the current criminal legislation in the field of combating drug trafficking and problematic issues of voluntary surrender of narcotic drugs are considered. The purpose of the study is to analyze the controversial issues of voluntary surrender of substances with limited circulation (narcotic drugs); to develop significant proposals and recommendations in the field of law enforcement on the identified issues; as well as countering (preventing) illegal trafficking in narcotic drugs in the criminal law plane, aimed at improving the effectiveness of criminal law counteraction measures. Research methods: the classical methodological concept, which includes the general scientific methods in particular, as well as a set of socio-scientific methods in its predominant component – the statistical method. Results of the study and conclusions: the authors conclude that in order to ensure the unity of the law enforcement approach, it is proposed to make clarifications in the note to Article 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely, to consolidate the concepts of “a real opportunity to dispose of them in another way” and the moment of detention within the framework of criminal procedural actions.

Published: October 2024

The solubility challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry, particularly with orally administered drugs, are indeed significant. Low aqueous solubility often leads to poor dissolution and subsequently, low bioavailability, which can result in inconsistent drug effects among patients. Various methods have been explored to address this issue, including salt formation, solid dispersion, and complex formation.Among these approaches, Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SEDDS) have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing the solubility of lipophilic drugs. SEDDS consist of isotropic mixtures of hydrophilic solvents, co-solvents, and surfactants. They possess the unique ability to form fine oil-in-water micro emulsions upon mild agitation and dilution in aqueous media, such as gastrointestinal fluids.The advancement in SEDDS technology encompasses improvements in composition, evaluation methods, development of different dosage forms, and techniques for converting liquid SEDDS into solid forms. These advancements not only enhance solubility but also offer versatility in administration routes and dosage forms, thereby expanding the potential applications of SEDDS in pharmaceutical formulations.This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the latest developments in SEDDS, offering a detailed account of its composition, evaluation parameters, diverse dosage forms, and innovative techniques for solidification. Moreover, it highlights the diverse applications of SEDDS across various therapeutic areas, underscoring its growing significance in modern pharmaceutical research and development.

Published: October 2024

Background: Using social media to produce and present the content of the health literacy program can be effective in improving and promoting public health. This study was carried out to determine the impact of social media use on the development of health literacy.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the winter of 2022. The statistical population included all visitors to the health care centers of Ahvaz metropolis in the southwest of Iran, in which a total of 250 people participated. The standard health literacy questionnaire and the standard social media questionnaire were used to collect data. SPSS25 software was also used for data analysis.
Results: The total score for using social media was 55.14 ± 14.14, and for health literacy, it was 64.18 ± 15.80, which was in the average range (upward and close to good). There was a statistically significant relationship between age (P-value < 0.001) and education (P-value = 0.005) and using social media (P-value < 0.001). In addition, the results showed that using social media affected health literacy (P-value=0.034). This study also showed that an increase in the development of health literacy decreased the use of social media (and vice versa). In addition, people who used social media asked fewer questions (regarding their health or illness) of doctors and healthcare workers (P-value < 0.001).
Conclusion: The results showed that using social media affected people's health literacy, and people with low health literacy used social media more to promote and improve their health literacy. It is necessary to make the required plans for the optimal use of the potential capacities of these networks for the development of health literacy in society.

Abstract

High-intensity and widely tunable sources in the terahertz (THz) frequency range are highly desirable for both fundamental and applied researches. Free electron lasers (FELs) coupling between a relativistic electron beam and a copropagating electromagnetic wave in an undulator can generate intense THz light. However, most THz FEL facilities are still working with a relatively long and low-peak-current electron beam, limiting the emission efficiency and the THz pulse energy. Here, we demonstrate a superradiant THz FEL by pre-modulating the electron beam into microbunches which emit in phase and interact strongly with the generated THz waves in a one-meter-long undulator. The measurements show that the narrow-band radiation frequency can be tuned throughout the 1 THz to 15 THz range at the fundamental harmonic of electron microbunches and up to 20 THz at the second harmonic. The detected pulse energy reaches 150 microjoules at 10 THz without consideration of the transportation loss. Such kind of THz source is stable in terms of shot-to-shot pulse intensity and frequency, and is expected to enable many novel researches.

Abstract

Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) pose significant environmental challenges, particularly in medium-sized cities with diverse topographies. This study enhances UHI modeling by integrating the Random Forest machine learning algorithm with regression kriging techniques. Focusing on Cluj-Napoca, we address the complexities of spatial temperature variability and improve UHI mapping accuracy. The Random Forest algorithm models air temperature variations, and regression kriging enhances spatial interpolation by integrating explanatory variables and residuals. The findings reveal that the Random Forest algorithm significantly improves temperature variability explanation and reduces prediction errors. Results highlight notable spatial trends, with high-temperature sensors concentrated in the central eastern part of Cluj-Napoca. Improved UHI modeling has substantial implications for urban planning and smart city initiatives. Accurate temperature mapping enables targeted mitigation strategies, such as green infrastructure, improved urban design, and strategic placement of cooling systems. These efforts enhance urban livability, reduce energy consumption, and mitigate heat wave effects. This study underscores the importance of integrating advanced machine learning techniques with traditional geostatistical methods to address complex environmental challenges. The methodology and findings are relevant across scientific disciplines, offering a framework for the future.

Abstract

Brazil is recognized for its biological megadiversity, particularly noted for the variety of psittacines (Order Psittaciformes). Among them is Aratinga auricapillus, a species in decline in the wild and involved in illegal trafficking, frequently found in Centros de Triagem de Animais Silvestres (CETAS) [trans. Wildlife Screening Centers]. Feather plucking is a psychogenic behavior directly related to stress that affects captive birds. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of sex, stress level, and temperament on psychogenic feather plucking in A. auricapillus captive in Bahia, Brazil. Two groups were formed: the Control Group, consisting of five healthy individuals, and the Test Group, with five individuals exhibiting feather plucking. Analyses included clinical evaluation, plumage analysis, molecular sexing, pathogen investigation, leukogram, and an open field test. The heterophil:lymphocyte ratio was used to determine the stress level. Temperament was assessed through the open field test, classifying the animals as either shy or bold. Data analysis indicated a statistically significant association (p = 0.04) of sex with feather plucking, with females being more affected. These findings are valuable for deepening the understanding of the factors influencing feather plucking in A. auricapillus. Understanding this behavior is essential for developing management and conservation strategies for these birds in captivity.
