Authors: Duseja Shilpa , Parikh Hiral Akshat , Duseja Sareen 
Published: September 2024

Introduction:
Periodontitis is a persistent diseased condition of the oral tissues that manifests as loss of attachment. Alterations in immune, neural, endocrinal and behavioural systems caused by stressful life events may impair periodontal health. Using serum stress markers, this study was designed to investigate the link between periodontal infection and psychoneuroimmunologic variables.

Materials and Methods:
Four hundred systemically healthy patients in the age group of 20–60 years were selected and segregated into two groups, namely healthy periodontium group (200 subjects) and chronic periodontitis group (200 subjects) after recording plaque index, probing depth, gingival index and clinical attachment loss. The analysis of stress levels using the Social Readjustment Rating Scale and lifestyle evaluation using the Health Practice Index was done. Serum cortisol and serum chromogranin A (CgA) levels were recorded. Descriptive statistics and unpaired t-tests for comparing the differences in the parameters and Pearson’s correlation test for establishing the correlation between serum markers with clinical variables and stress levels were done. Multivariate analysis of covariance analysis was done to find the linear relation of periodontal and serum parameters (dependent variables) with psychological stress and lifestyle patterns (independent variables).

Results:
A poorer lifestyle and higher stress magnitude were more allied to worsened periodontal condition (P ≤ 0.05). Significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) concentrations of serum cortisol and serum CgA levels were observed in the chronic periodontitis group.

Conclusion:
Stress shall be regarded as a probable risk factor for periodontal infection, and it should be catered to attain benefits in patients with inexplicable periodontal disease.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with the obesity; however, certain proportion of T2DM patients is non-obese or lean (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2). Obesity has long been associated with oxidative stress; however, there are no studies available documenting levels of oxidative stress in the lean patients of T2DM. Therefore, this study was done to compare the levels of makers of oxidative stress (TL, mtDNA, TAS) and their regulators (mRNA expression of TERT, Nrf2 and Nqo1) in lean and obese patients of T2DM.

Methods:
60 newly diagnosed patients (treatment naïve) of T2DM were recruited and divided into lean (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) and obese (BMI > 25 kg/m2) groups. Relative telomere length (T/S) and mtDNA content were estimated via real-time PCR. Serum total antioxidant status (TAS) was measured using a commercially available kit. mRNA expression of TERT, Nrf2 and Nqo1 was measured by real-time PCR.

Results:
Mean T/S and mtDNA content were lower in the obese group compared to the lean group (P = 0.16 and P = 0.06, respectively). Mean serum TAS levels were higher in obese group compared to the lean group (P = 0.001). mRNA expression of TERT and Nrf2 was increased in obese group compared to the lean group. mRNA expression of Nqo1 was similar in both the groups.

Conclusion:
Obese patients of T2DM are exposed to a greater degree of OS compared to the lean patients of T2DM.

Authors: Islamiyati Anna , Kalondeng Anisa , Zakir Muhammad , Djibe Sultan , Sari Ummi 
Published: September 2024

Background:
The growth of children aged 0–60 months can impact their subsequent growth and development. This study aims to identify the vulnerable age for boys and girls, who experience growth retardation within this age range.

Methods:
The study design used was a cross-sectional approach in which each child’s measurement data was only taken once. The data were obtained from weighing results at the Health Integrated Service Post in South Sulawesi Province in 2022. The number of data analyzed was 698 children, namely 369 boys and 329 girls by considering the factors of age, weight, and height. We used a nonparametric bi-response regression model estimated using a penalized spline. The knots used are 12, 24, 36, and 48 on each model.

Results:
The value of the penalized spline regression coefficient in the model indicates that the child’s growth is slowed down and is not within normal limits. This can be seen in the weight and height of boys from the age of reaching 12 months to 24 months, only increasing by about 0.3 kg and 0.3 cm. For girls, the problem occurs from the age of 24 to 36 months, namely their weight increases by about 0.6 kg, and their height increases by about 1 cm.

Conclusions:
The analysis results show that boys’ growth slows down at 2 years of age and continues until 5 years of age. In the case of girls, their growth begins to slow when they are 3 years old until they reach 5 years old.

Agriculture is the Backbone of the India’s economy. Agriculture is the foundation of human civilization, embodying the art and science of cultivating crops and rearing livestock for sustenance and economic prosperity. Due to the poor weather, climate conditions, lack of proper care there are huge losses to the farmers in terms of their productivity. Because of not much knowledge, education in the rural area farmers tend to commit mistakes by not giving their crop proper treatment like good fertilizers to grow the crop, taking care of the disease which has been caught up by the crop. This study aims to develop a website utilizing machine learning models for crop recommendations, taking into account inputs such as pH values, temperature, and soil nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus etc. Various machine learning algorithms including logistic regression, linear regression, support vector machines, random forests, naive bayes, xgboost, decision trees are used, with random forests and xgboost gives the higher prediction results. So basically, we are expecting that after taking valuable inputs from user like soil nutrients, images of the crop we will predict the desired output with highest efficiency. The main objective of this project is building a website which will help farmers to make the effective cultivation by providing good information like which crop is suitable for their soil, and which fertilizers are suitable to grow. Ultimately, these systems serve as a crucial tool in advancing modern agriculture, leveraging technology and data analysis to assist farmers in making decisions that contribute to food security and agricultural sustainability. Accessible through user-friendly platforms, crop recommendation systems empower farmers to harness the benefits of technology and data, thereby enhancing agricultural productivity, financial gains, and global food security through these modern agricultural advancements.
Neonazism in youth environment: emergence trends
Authors: Кочесоков Р.Х. 
Published: September 2024

В статье анализируются тенденции неонацизма в молодежной среде. Отмечается широта использования термина «неонацизм». Ему присущи шовинизм, расизм, ксенофобия, антисемитизм, гомофобия, различные черты фашизма. Многие праворадикальные группировки используют нацистскую или схожую с ней символику. Во многих европейских странах проблема возрождения нацизма становится актуальной, это происходит из-за неграмотной миграционной политики, упадка экономики, а также в целом сложной политической и социальной обстановки. Нацистский вопрос не проходит сам собой. Кроме жесткой коррекции общественного поведения, необходимо устранять и те факторы, которые вызывают озлобленность населения на представителей других национальностей и культур. Россия активно работает в данном направлении, поэтому отрицательно оценивает действия тех стран, которые не только не препятствуют возрождению радикально правых идей, но и помогают их продвижению.
The article analyzes the trends of neo-Nazism among young people. The breadth of the use of the term “neo-Nazism” is noted. It is characterized by chauvinism, racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and various features of fascism. Many right-wing radical groups use Nazi or similar symbols. In many European countries, the problem of the revival of Nazism is becoming urgent, this is due to illiterate migration policies, the decline of the economy, as well as the generally difficult political and social situation. The Nazi question does not go away by itself. In addition to strict correction of social behavior, it is necessary to eliminate those factors that cause anger among the population against representatives of other nationalities and cultures. Russia is actively working in this direction, therefore, negatively evaluates the actions of those countries that not only do not prevent the revival of radical right-wing ideas, but also help to promote them.
ANALYSIS OF PLANT MOBILOM BY AMPLIFICATION OF DNA ENRICHED IN EXTRACHROMOSOMAL RING MOLECULES
Authors: Меркулов П.Ю. , Киров И.В. 
Published: September 2024

Мобильные генетические элементы (МГЭ) занимают значительную часть геномов растений и животных и вносят большой вклад в их эволюцию и адаптацию. Способность МГЭ к транспозиции – перемещению и/или амплификации в геноме позволяет им формировать так называемый мобилом. По типу транспозиции МГЭ делятся на два больших класса: ДНК-транспозоны, перемещающиеся по геному по принципу «вырезатьвставить», и ретротранспозоны, использующие РНК посредник для транспозиции (принцип «копировать-вставить»). Среди МГЭ растительных геномов наиболее широко представлены элементы с длинными концевыми повторами - LTR-ретротранспозоны.
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) occupy a significant part of the genomes of plants and animals and make a great contribution to their evolution and adaptation. The ability of MGEs to transposition - move and / or amplify in the genome allows them to form the so-called mobile. According to the type of transposition, MGEs are divided into two large classes: DNA transposons, which move along the genome according to the “cut-paste” principle, and retrotransposons, which use an RNA intermediary for transposition (the “copy-paste” principle). Among the MGEs of plant genomes, elements with long terminal repeats, LTR retrotransposons, are most widely represented.

Достаточное фосфорное питание важно для получения высоких урожаев сельскохозяйственных культур. Фосфоритная мука является самым дешевым фосфорным удобрением, производство и применение которого создает наименьшую угрозу для окружающей среды [1]. Однако известно, что растения пшеницы обладают плохой способностью усваивать фосфор из труднодоступных форм, а гены короткостебельности, вероятно, еще больше снижают эту способность [2].
Sufficient phosphorus nutrition is important for obtaining high crop yields. Phosphorite flour is the cheapest phosphate fertilizer, the production and use of which poses the least threat to the environment [1]. However, it is known that wheat plants have a poor ability to assimilate phosphorus from hard-to-reach forms, and short stem genes probably further reduce this ability [2].
