ABSTRACT
Water security is a major challenge for agricultural sustainability in Egypt. To tackle water scarcity, the reuse of wastewater such as raw agricultural drainage water (RADW) and treated sewage drainage water (TSDW) can be a potential solution. An investigation was conducted over two seasons (2022 and 2023) for 5 months (January–May) on roughly 8-month-old jojoba plants to study their tolerance for irrigation with different concentrations of wastewater (RADW, TSDW) at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% compared to the control (tap water). The study examined the effect of wastewater irrigation on growth parameters such as plant height, stem diameter, shoot numbers, leaf physical measurements, visual quality (VQ) and leaf chemical components including heavy metals (HMs), antioxidant capacity (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH]), ion leakage (IL%), superoxide anion (O2
•−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), leaf minerals, pigments, soluble carbohydrate content (SCC), total phenolic content (TPC) and proline performance in jojoba plants. The findings indicated that jojoba plants can tolerate irrigation with RADW up to a concentration of 100% and TSDW up to a concentration of 75%.
Chezy’s Resistance Coefficient in a Round-cornered Rectangle Channel
Authors: Loukam Imed , Achour Bachir 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The determination of resistance coefficients, such as Chezy’s or Manning’s coefficients, requires a great deal of sensible thought in order to express these coefficients better and more extensively in free-surface channels and aqueducts. This can be achieved if the expression of the resistance coefficient is well stated and takes into account the maximum number of parameters for governing flows in channels. However, in most practical cases, if these coefficients are not expressed by implicit models, they are generally taken as constant and arbitrary. To this end and in a rational manner, the dimensioning and design of channels requires the expression of the resistance coefficient in an easily and explicit form by adopting numerous flow parameters, namely the roughness of the walls, the aspect ratio, the slope of the channels and essentially the viscosity of the liquid. To achieve this aim, the Chezy’s resistance coefficient C is identified using the rough model method (RMM), which gives the discharge under uniform flow conditions appropriate to a round-cornered rectangle channel.

Abstract

Introduction
Early and accurate identification of high-risk patients with peripheral intravascular catheter (PIVC)-related phlebitis is vital to prevent medical device-related complications.

Aim of the study
This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model for predicting the incidence of PIVC-related phlebitis in critically ill patients.

Materials and methods
Four machine learning models were created using data from patients ≥ 18 years with a newly inserted PIVC during intensive care unit admission. Models were developed and validated using a 7:3 split. Random survival forest (RSF) was used to create predictive models for time-to-event outcomes. Logistic regression with least absolute reduction and selection operator (LASSO), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting decision tree were used to develop predictive models that treat outcome as a binary variable. Cox proportional hazards (COX) and logistic regression (LR) were used as comparators for time-to-event and binary outcomes, respectively.

Results
The final cohort had 3429 PIVCs, which were divided into the development cohort (2400 PIVCs) and validation cohort (1029 PIVCs). The c-statistic (95% confidence interval) of the models in the validation cohort for discrimination were as follows: RSF, 0.689 (0.627–0.750); LASSO, 0.664 (0.610–0.717); RF, 0.699 (0.645–0.753); gradient boosting tree, 0.699 (0.647–0.750); COX, 0.516 (0.454–0.578); and LR, 0.633 (0.575–0.691). No significant difference was observed among the c-statistic of the four models for binary outcome. However, RSF had a higher c-statistic than COX. The important predictive factors in RSF included inserted site, catheter material, age, and nicardipine, whereas those in RF included catheter dwell duration, nicardipine, and age.

Conclusions
The RSF model for the survival time analysis of phlebitis occurrence showed relatively high prediction performance compared with the COX model. No significant differences in prediction performance were observed among the models with phlebitis occurrence as the binary outcome.

Authors: Egorova E. N. , Neshchadina N. D. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The article presents an analysis of migration reform in the UK during the first years after its exit from the European Union (20202021). Changing immigration rules and procedures became a difficult task for the UK, as it required British lawmakers pay simultaneous attention both to the needs of the country's internal labor market and to the close economic and social ties between the country and other EU member states. After Brexit, the new immigration policy was built on the principle “people before passports”, which was supposed to abolish unconditional privileges for EU citizens, implement a selective approach to labor migrants and create convenient and transparent conditions of entry to the territory of the UK for citizens of any state interested in education, highly qualified labor activity or business development. The author examines how this principle has been put into practice and assesses the effectiveness of the new immigration rules for the UK in 2022-2024. The article analyzes the country's domestic legislation and statistical data.Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study was formed by the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena and processes in the field of international and European law: the method of system-structural analysis; the method of synthesis of socio-legal phenomena; comparative-legal method; formal-logical method; statistical method.Results of the research. The analysis revealed that after the reform immigration policy of the UK has become more practical, as it has allowed to attract highly qualified specialists, talented students and promising entrepreneurs to the territory of the country regardless of the country of their citizenship. Using a wide range of tools (such as an extensive visa system and an electronic platform for selecting candidates for visas), the updated migration policy of the UK aims to regulate migration flows with the maximum benefit for the country and increased opportunities for fulfilling the professional potential of foreign labor migrants.Discussion and conclusion. The article substantiates the application of new tools for regulating external migration in the UK; analyzes their main advantages and disadvantages.
International Legal Concept and Basics of Readmission
Authors: Yastrebova A. Yu. 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The concept of readmission, as a prevention tool regarding irregular migration, links with the interstate cooperation aimed to terminate the stay of foreigners who entered and/or reside in violation of the current legal regulations for immigration. The receiving party also extends the validity of the readmission agreements to the nationals of third countries who came from the territory of requested state. The list of grounds established in international law, basically cancelling readmission, connected with the content of universal and regional standards of human rights and represented the international legal obligations of states, is of particular importance.Materials and methods. As for the materials, the legal acts and a number of Russian and foreign scientific papers, where readmission has been studying, are presented. Methodological foundations are provided with scientific method of analysis and synthesis, formal-legal and comparative-legal methods.Research results. International legal institution of readmission presupposes the mutual obligations of states to identify personality and to establish a nationality of irregular migrants, to submit the relevant documents, to send a request, to keep people in a designated place, to take back nationals and persons who have permanent residence or carried out transit on the territory of participating states. The bilateral model agreements readmission are becoming more widespread for the moment. It seems that adoption of international regional treaty on readmission at the CIS level would promote unification of its legal definition and procedures, because model legislation has already developed.Discussion and conclusion. The Russian Federation actively participates in the expansion of bilateral agreements on readmission with both the CIS states and European and Asian countries. At the same time, the procedure for implementing readmission has been enshrined in Russian immigration legislation. The effectiveness of readmission, as a legal means of preventing irregular migration, relates to realization of joint regional programs of the states aimed to provide conditions, which allow them to control entry, stay, departure, transit and purposes of the presence of foreigners on the territory of receiving state.

Published: August 2024

Introduction. The article attempts to determine the factors that influenced the decriminalization of modern criminal law policy in taxation and its degree of influence on the state of tax discipline and tax security in general. The article analyzes the impact of changes in criminal legislation, the need for which was indicated in the Messages of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly in 2023 and 2024 on the financial security of the state in two aspects: 1) the hierarchical relationship between criminal policy and criminal policy in taxation; 2) the relationship between criminal policy in taxation and fiscal policy. Particular attention is paid to the impact of changes in certain norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on tax crimes in the direction of decriminalization of legislation on tax crime indicators.Materials and methods. When writing the article, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, logical method) and private legal methods (legal modeling, legal forecasting, legal statistics) were used.Research results. Analysis of recent changes in criminal legislation made it possible to clarify the significance of current criminal legal policy in the tax sphere, as well as in the structure of national security and financial stability of the state.Discussion and conclusion. Criminal legal policy in taxation is a dynamic phenomenon based on: 1) the organic application of the “criminalization decriminalization” approach in combination with other coercive measures provided for by tax and administrative legislation; 2) identifying the causesand patterns underlying criminal acts. Tax security, ensured by effective tax control and enforcement in the tax sphere, makes it possible to mitigate criminal legal policies in taxation. The main factors influencing criminal tax policy include the parameters of budget and tax policy, the efficiency of tax administration, including digitalization.The article analyzes the hierarchical relationship between the concepts of "criminal policy" "criminal policy in the field of ensuring national security" – "criminal policy in the field of ensuring economic security" – "criminal policy in ensuring financial security" – "criminal policy in the financial and budgetary sphere" "criminal policy in taxation". The factors that influenced the decriminalization of criminal law policy in taxation, such as the parameters and directions of budget and tax policy, the level of tax administration, have been identified.

Published: August 2024

Objetivo: Apresentar e discutir os conceitos de português como língua colonial, materna, adicional e de acolhimento no Brasil. Revisão bibliográfica: A partir de diversos autores, refletimos acerca da colonização no Brasil e dos violentos processos de imposição da língua portuguesa aos indígenas como instrumento de dominação física e política, aculturação e doutrinação religiosa, tendo o idioma atuado como ferramenta de epistemicídio. A partir desse epistemicídio perpetrado pela língua portuguesa, houve sua consolidação no território no decorrer dos séculos. Nesse sentido, discutimos sobre seu ensino-aprendizagem como língua materna da maioria da população brasileira em diversas abordagens pedagógicas. Em seguida, tratamos do ensino-aprendizagem de português como língua não materna nas perspectivas de língua adicional e de língua de acolhimento, apresentando e problematizando esses conceitos a partir dos sujeitos usuários do idioma. Considerações finais: De acordo com a literatura revisada, pode-se evidenciar a importância das pessoas envolvidas no processo de educação linguística, pois são elas que determinam a abordagem e o sentido que o idioma pode ter.

Published: August 2024

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on solid organ transplant recipients. COVID-19 vaccination plays a crucial role in pandemic management.There is limited data on replication-defective viral vectors [ChAdOx1-nCOV (COVISHIELDTM)] and whole inactivated one BBV-152 (COVAXINTM) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). This study aims to assess the humoral immune response and adverse effects of these vaccines in KTRs after the first and second doses of vaccination.

Materials and Methods
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibody titers were measured in 285 KTRs recipients prior to vaccination, 3 weeks ± 3 days after first dose and 3 weeks ± 3 days after second dose of the COVISHIELD (n = 232) and COVAXIN (n = 55) vaccines. Anti-spike antibodies were measured by the chemiluminescence immunoassay method. The primary outcome was seroconversion after two doses of COVAXIN and COVISHIELD and secondary outcome was the incidence of adverse events to COVID-19 vaccines within one week of vaccination.

Results
At baseline, 25 (39.7%) and 67 (30.2%) of KTRs were found to be seropositive before receiving COVAXINTM and COVISHIELDTM, respectively. After first dose of vaccination, 46 (73.0%) and 158 (71.2%) were seropositive and after second dose, 51 (81.0%) and 177 (79.7%) were seropositive, respectively. Common adverse effects were fever, chills, myalgia, and headache which settled in 1–2 days. There was no episode of rejection.

Conclusion
Both ChAdOx1-nCOV and BBV-152 were well tolerated and induced robust antibody formation in KTRs in the Indian population.

Authors: Likhitha Siddarajaiah , Rameshkumar Ramachandran , Delhikumar Chinnaiah Govindhareddy , Selvan Tamil 
Published: August 2024

Background
There are two criteria to diagnose and stage acute kidney injury (AKI) in children: pediatric-Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss (p-RIFLE) and Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). This study aims to find out the extent of agreement in diagnosis (by p-RIFLE and KDIGO) and risk factors of AKI in pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).

Materials and Methods
A retrospective cohort study involving children aged ≤15 years with DKA was conducted between January 2014 and December 2022. Those with inborn errors of metabolism, septic shock, and urinary tract disease were excluded. The primary outcome was the extent of agreement in diagnosis of AKI by p-RIFLE and KDIGO. The secondary outcomes were staging agreement, risk factors, complications (hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, and cerebral edema), time to resolution of DKA, and hospital and pediatric intensive care units (PICU) stay.

Results
Data from 161 patients were collected. Mean (SD) age was 8.6 (3.7) years. Good agreement between p-RIFLE and KDIGO criteria for diagnosis of AKI was noted at admission (Kappa = 0.71, p ≤ 0.001), at 24 hours (Kappa = 0.73, p ≤ 0.001) and discharge (Kappa = 0.60, p ≤ 0.001), and for the staging of AKI at admission (Kappa = 0.81, p ≤ 0.001) at 24 hours (Kappa = 0.75, p ≤ 0.001) and discharge (Kappa = 0.48, p ≤ 0.001). On multivariate analysis, age (≤5 years: aOR = 3.03, 95% CI 1.04–8.79) is an independent risk factor for AKI at discharge by KDIGO. Cerebral edema (n = 6, 3.7%), hypoglycemia (n = 66, 41%), and hypokalemia (n = 59, 36.6%) were noted. Resolution and stay in PICU and hospitals were longer for patients with AKI.

Conclusion
p-RIFLE and KDIGO criteria showed good agreement in diagnosis and staging of AKI in pediatric DKA.
Competitions in the System of Creative Development of Russian Military Bands
Authors: Nisenbaum Andrey A. 
Published: August 2024

In the article, the author traces the chronology of the formation and development of review-competitions of military bands of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the moment of competition at the International Exposition of 1867 in Paris to the present day. And if the first competitive events held in the second half of the 19th century had an international status, then after 1917 their state developed from district and regional review-competitions to competitions on the scale of all the Armed Forces. Performances of military bands on the international arena resumed only in the second half of the 20th century due to regular trips of military bands to Europe, where the festival movement flourished at that time, which appeared in the 1990s in our country as well. The relevance of competitions was in the greater opportunity to demonstrate their creative achievements not only in the field of musical design of military rituals, but also in concert activities.The development of review-competitions went in parallel with the formation of military-music culture in Russia. The formation of professional military music education, the increase in the number of military bands and the improvement of their staffing, the publication of music literature and, together with it, the development of repertoire practice of military bands were reflected in the conditions of review competitions. In Russia’s recent history, the performance of service and concert repertoire was joined by a separately assessed section of the review-contest – the platz-concert.In addition, the regular holding of review-contests contributed to the development of the work of many national composers of the Union republics, whose various works were given a chance to come to life at these events. At the stage of the final competitions the participants were given a unique opportunity to take part in a master class of orchestral performance from the leading military orchestral ensembles of our country. By now, a stable system of holding such events in two rounds with a regular frequency of once every five years has been developed, which contributes to improving the growth of musical culture and performance skills of military orchestras.
