Abstract
A series of castor oil–based polyurethane (PU) with and without the incorporation of halloysite nanoclay (HNT) were prepared via conventional method using oil bath and with the aid of microwave radiation at varying temperatures. The PUs were characterized by using attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffractometry, and transmission electron microscopy. The ATR-FTIR spectra of PUs indicated complete polymerization by the disappearance –NCO peak at 2,270 cm−1 with a shorter reaction time of ≈130 min by using microwave-assisted method compared to using conventional method (≈450 min) at the same reaction temperature of 55°C. Compared to pure HNT with d-spacing of ≈6.98 nm, an increment of d-spacing for HNT incorporated PUs synthesized by both conventional and microwave methods indicated the intercalation of PU chains within HNT layers. The sharper diffraction peak of castor oil–based PU with HNT synthesized by conventional method at 2θ = 11.6° compared to microwave-assisted method at 2θ = 11.9° indicated the formation of more crystalline PU nanocomposites by conventional method and modification of the surface morphology occurred with microwave radiation.

Изучено содержание и распределение фтора в двух почвенных катенах, расположенных в бассейнах рек Бурла и Кулунда на территории Кулундинской равнины. Использование метода катен позволило сравнить содержание фтора в почвах разных геохимических позиций рельефа, в зональных и интразональных почвах. По аналогии с другими элементами значение имеет не просто присутствие фтора в объектах окружающей среды, в том числе в почвах, а его концентрации, лежащие в основе двой­ственного характера их биологической роли – положительной или отрицательной, что требует введения санитарно-гигиенических нормативов на их содержание. В изученных почвах валовое содержание фтора варьирует в диапазоне от 13,9 до 711,03 мг/кг, водорастворимой формы – в пределах от следов до 34,65 мг/кг. Выявлено, что в засоленных солонцах, развивающихся в супераквальных ландшафтах, содержание валового и водорастворимого фтора имеет соответственно экологически критические и недопустимые концентрации, поэтому использование данных почв в сельскохозяйственном производстве сопряжено с риском накопления избыточного количества фтора в организме животных и человека.
The content and distribution of fluorine in two soil catenas located in the basins of the Burla and Kulunda rivers on the territory of the Kulunda Plain was studied. The use of the catenas method made it possible to compare the content of fluorine in soils of different geochemical relief positions, in zonal and intrazonal soils. It is not just the presence of fluorine in soils that matters, but its concentration, which underlies the dual nature of his biological role – positive or negative, which requires the introduction of sanitary and hygienic standards for his content. In the studied soils, the total content of fluorine varies from 13.9 to 711.03 mg/kg, the water-soluble form varies from 0 to 34.65 mg/kg. It was found that in saline solonetzes developing in superaquatic landscapes, the content of total and water-soluble fluorine have, respectively, ecologically critical and unacceptable concentrations, therefore, the use of these soils in agricultural production is associated with the risk of accumulation of excess amounts of fluorine in the body of animals and humans.

Одним из важнейших этапов предотвращения дефолиации лесов является его прогнозирование. Значительную роль в формировании массовых размножений лесных дефолиаторов играет погода. Именно с использованием погодных данных в качестве предикторов был построен ряд моделей, более или менее успешно работающих. Мы предприняли такую попытку для сибирского шелкопряда (Dendrolimus sibiricusTschetv.) – одного из наиболее опасных филлофагов южной тайги Сибири. Для модельной территории (южная тайга и подтайга Томской и Кемеровской областей, Красноярского края) построена модель на основе градиентного спуска (алгоритм XGBoost). Точность предсказания вспышек составила 0,952. Основными предикторами были температурные условия вегетационного периода за 4 и 5 лет до зафиксированного начала вспышки.
The outbreak prediction is one of crucial components of forest pest management. Weather plays substanial role in the leaf-eating insects outbreaks esteblishment. The weather-based prediction models in this field are numerous and more or less precise. We attempted create such model for Siberian moth (Dendrolimus sibiricusTschetv.) – one of most harmful defoliator in southern taiga of Siberia. For territory of interest (southern taiga and hemiboreal forests of Tomsk Oblast, Kemerovo Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Kray) the gradient boosting (XBGoost) model was created with accuracy 0,952. The temperatures of vegetation period 4th and 5th years before onset of outbreak are better predictors.

Conceptualizing your new reality: Should philosophers play a role in psychedelic-assisted therapy?
Authors: Quasti Christopher , Sisti Dominic 
Published: July 2024

AbstractPsychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is currently undergoing a resurgence of clinical interest for several mental health ailments. We propose that philosophers can play a significant role in PAT in both the preparation and integration phases of PAT. Philosophers can aid in the former phase by offering philosophical preparatory insights and in the latter phase by providing the conceptual language to articulate the complex philosophical aspects of a psychedelic experience.

An unfavorable prognosis for ovarian cancer is associated with metastasis to the peritoneum and the formation of malignant ascites, which contains factors affecting the growth and survival of tumor cells. Molecular and functional analysis of ascites provides information both for clinical diagnosis and for understanding the mechanisms of progression and resistance in ovarian cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of IL-8 and WISP1 in the acellular portion of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer. In 30 patients diagnosed with ascitic ovarian cancer stage III-IV according to FIGO, before treatment, the levels of IL-8 (Kit A-8762, Interleukin-8-ELISA-BEST, JSC Vector-Best, Russia) and WISP1 (Kit SEG895Hu CloudClone Corp., China) were determined (pg/mL). Based on the results of the effectiveness of chemotherapy according to the TP scheme, all patients were divided into the following groups: without relapse, relapse-free period up to 6 months – early relapse and progression during chemotherapy. Statistical processing was carried out using Statistica 13. Analysis of patient progression-free time was carried out using the Cox regression method, and the patient survival function was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method (Jamovi 2.4.14). We found that the level of IL-8 in the acellular part of malignant ascites in ovarian cancer in patients without relapse is significantly lower than in the early relapse group (176.58 (139.68-217.01) pg/mL versus 320.43 pg/mL (250.49-369.81), p = 0.019). The level of WISP1 was significantly increased in the acellular part of ascites only in patients with progression during chemotherapy (980.51 (796.61-1524.15) pg/mL versus 770.55 (500.60- 1254.90) pg/mL in patients without relapse and 764.09 (581.55-823.38) pg/mL in patients with relapse). We found a positive strong Pearson correlation between IL-8 and WISP1 in ascites in a group of patients without relapse (r = 0.783, p = 0.012). In the multivariate version of Cox regression, the risk of relapse increases by 1.01 (1.01-1.02, p = 0.001) times with an increase in the level of IL-8 in the acellular part of ascites. When IL-8 levels in the acellular portion of ascites are above 225 pg/mL, the median progression-free time in patients with advanced ovarian cancer is 11.7 (5.2-18.2, 95% CI) months.Thus, increased levels of IL-8 and WISP1 in malignant ascites in ovarian cancer are associated with a shorter progression-free time. IL-8 in malignant ascites activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling in advanced ovarian cancer.

Let \(G=(V,E)\) be a simple connected graph. The modified Sombor index denoted by \(mSo(G)\) is defined as $$mSo(G)=\sum_{uv\in E}\frac{1}{\sqrt{d^2_u+d^2_v}},$$ where \(d_v\) denotes the degree of vertex \(v\). In this paper we present extremal values of modified Sombor index over the set of trees and unicyclic graphs.

This study examines national information communication technology policy and its impact on teaching quality in Nigerian universities. This study adopted qualitative research design as it relies on secondary data collected from books, journal articles and internet sources, and were content analyzed in relation to the scope of the study. This study is anchored on Technology Organization Environment model which offers analytical explanations on information communication technology policy implementation and teaching quality in higher educational institutions. The study concludes that the integration of information communication technology into educational system has been identified as a critical catalyst to achieving quality of teaching and learning across the globe, and since academic quality is the primary objective of Nigerian universities and has been pursued traditionally for decades, it thus becomes important to source for role or outcome specific technologies that can be used to substitute or improve the traditional teaching practices. This study therefore recommends among others that Nigeria government should intensify effort to invest more on information communication technology infrastructures aimed at improving teaching quality in Nigerian universities.
La intuición en la psicología y la psicoterapia
Authors: Lopera Echavarría Juan Diego 
Published: July 2024

El trabajo del psicólogo, ya sea en investigación o en psicoterapia, está en gran medida fundamentado en la intuición, en ese saber sedimentado que se expresa como estado de ánimo, sensación difusa u ocurrencia. Se trata de un saber que precede la invención de conjeturas y las intervenciones del clínico. Pero la intuición, capacidad prístina del ser humano, debe formarse: los prejuicios la hacen errática. Se propone una depuración de prejuicios mediante al análisis de la intuición y del propio discurso, como una vía que posibilite un ejercicio más apropiado y fluido de ese saber.
El efecto Westermarck y el Complejo de Edipo: una perspectiva evolucionista
Authors: Naranjo Sierra Carlos Andrés 
Published: July 2024

El Complejo de Edipo plantea un deseo incestuoso innato en el infante que es regulado por la norma cultural como introducción al mundo simbólico del hombre. Sigmund Freud, padre del psicoanálisis y Claude Lévi-Strauss, padre de la antropología estructural, construyeron a partir de la regulación cultural del instinto incestuoso sendas hipótesis que marcaron gran parte del pensamiento de las ciencias sociales y humanas del siglo XX. La teoría de la evolución es retomada por la psicologíaevolucionista para explicar el psiquismo, no solo en el hombre sino también en otros animales, con resultados satisfactorios. El Efecto Westermarck, enmarcado dentro de la teoría evolucionista, llamado así en honor al antropólogo finlandés que lo descubrió, ha logrado demostrar empíricamente que lo que hay por lo general en el infante no es un deseo sino un desinterés o rechazo innato por la relación incestuosa.
Robbing Woodchester: Narrative Strategies in Bishop Wærferth’s Dispute Memorandum, Sawyer 1441
Authors: Hanlon Brittany 
Published: July 2024

Since Simon Keynes’s line-by-line exegesis (1992), the Fonthill Letter (S 1445) has been subject to a range of interdisciplinary approaches, including linguistic, palaeographical, historical, and literary analysis. It is evident that other vernacular documents generated by processes of litigation during the Alfredian period would benefit from a Keynes-style interpretative commentary. This article conducts a close reading of the language employed by Worcester charter draftsmen in the dispute memorandum, also known as Sawyer 1441, that records the dispute settled between Bishop Wærferth of Worcester and the priest Æthelwald concerning the woodland at Woodchester. This study establishes the importance of reading early English charters through the lens of narrative strategy by focusing on two phrases: bereafian, meaning "to rob" or "to seize" and geniman, which can be translated as "to take away" or "to seize." Worcester’s charter draftsmen consciously selected vocabulary that would protect their leased properties and positioned Worcester as victim to greedy rival claimants. By exploring the meaning and function of these phrases in contemporary Alfredian literature and earlier Latin diplomas, this study demonstrates that Alfredian charters were not written in abstract and interacted with what would now be considered as literary contexts.
Specifics of the digital regulation of the Canadian cultural industries
Authors: Shchukina Tatiana 
Published: July 2024

The Online Streaming Act and the Online News Act are two pieces of the government&apos;s digital agenda. They are separate pieces of legislation with different implementation processes. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is responsible for the regulation of the laws.
The Online Streaming Act received Royal Assent on April 27, 2023 and is the first major reform of the Broadcasting Act since 1991. It updates broadcasting policy for Canada and require online streaming services to contribute to the creation and availability of Canadian audio-visual contentin an equitable way. Online Streaming Act makes Canadian stories and music widely available to Canadians in the digital age. The law will give Canadians more opportunities to see themselves in what they watch and hear, under a new framework that better reflects Canada today.
The Online News Act received Royal Assent on June 22, 2023. It aims to ensure that dominant platforms compensate Canadian news businesses when their content is available on their services. The Act creates a bargaining framework to ensure that platforms compensate news businesses fairly. It encourages platforms to reach voluntary commercial agreements with a range of news businesses. If parties are not able to come to fair agreements independently, they would have to proceed to a mediated mandatory bargaining process. If, after mediation, the parties are still unable to reach an agreement, each party would submit a final offer, and an arbitral panel would choose one of the offers.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

This study presents a unified representation of the seepage characteristics of virtual soil, including the transition zone from Darcy to non-Darcy flow, by conducting 3D pore-level fluid simulations.　According to the concept of mathematical homogenization, the process of defining a virtual test region as a representative volume element (RVE) and then assessing the apparent permeability from virtual 3D pore flow tests in this region is established as “numerical seepage flow testing” (NSFT).　Rigid particles of a single size are placed in the virtual test area, with two types of particle configurations: regularly arranged and randomly arranged. Both Darcy and non-Darcy flows are achieved by varying the macroscopic hydraulic gradients and other material or geometrical properties for NSFTs, such as grain diameter or porosity, and the macroscopic seepage flow characteristics are discussed in terms of the relationship between the apparent permeability and Reynolds number. After confirming that the individual relationships depend on the material or geometrical properties, we propose a unified expression of apparent permeability by introducing the “permeability reduction ratio”, and various empirically derived relationships between Darcy and non-Darcy flow speed and hydraulic gradient are used as references for this expression. To validate the proposed unified expression of apparent permeability over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, the NSFT results are illustrated as a relationship between the Reynolds number and permeability reduction ratio when the porosity is fixed. The illustrated relationships confirm that the permeability reduction ratio turns out to be a function of the Reynolds number and porosity only, thus validating the proposed unified expression. Additionally, the influence of the regularity of the particle arrangement and the particle size distribution characteristics of the NSFT specimens is raised as a factor determining the functional form of the permeability reduction ratio.

Authors: Ibara Nobuya , Tsuji Tetsuya , Tokuda Yoshio , Maniwa Eri , Saito Tatsuya 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Exercise and physical activity are recommended for cancer survivors. This study aimed to identify the patient characteristics associated with behavioral changes and maintenance of exercise habits through supervised exercise therapy (SET) by licensed physiotherapists during outpatient care.
Methods
The participants in this case–control study were outpatients with cancer who underwent uninsured SET at the Matsue City Hospital Cancer Center from April 1, 2017, to April 1, 2021. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records. The participants were divided into two groups: a continuation group that continued SET for at least 24 weeks and showed sufficient behavioral change and a dropout group that dropped out of SET after less than 24 weeks and showed insufficient behavioral change. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis, with patient characteristics as the independent variable and SET continuation as the dependent variable.
Results
A total of 54 participants (median age, 58 years), including 38 female participants, were included in this study. The most common type of cancer was breast cancer, most commonly Stage IV cancer, and 33 patients (61%) were undergoing treatment. The continuation group consisted of 27 patients (50%). Factors significantly associated with SET continuation were age (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.07 [1.00–1.13]), treatment completion (4.29 [1.15–16.05]), and the QLQ-C30 dyspnea score (0.34 [0.12–0.99]).
Conclusions
Older age, treatment completion, and the absence of dyspnea were associated with SET continuation and maintenance of exercise habits in outpatients with cancer.
