IntroductionGlobally, overdose deaths increased near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which created availability and access barriers to addiction and social services. Especially in times of a crisis like a pandemic, local exposures, service availability and access, and system responses have major influence on people who use drugs. For policy makers to be effective, an understanding at the local level is needed.MethodsThis retrospective epidemiologic study from 2019 through 2021 compares immediate and 20-months changes in overdose deaths from the pandemic start to 16 months before its arrival in Pinellas County, FL We examine toxicologic death records of 1,701 overdoses to identify relations with interdiction, and service delivery.ResultsThere was an immediate 49% increase (95% CI 23–82%, p &lt; 0.0001) in overdose deaths in the first month following the first COVID deaths. Immediate increases were found for deaths involving alcohol (171%), heroin (108%), fentanyl (78%), amphetamines (55%), and cocaine (45%). Overdose deaths remained 27% higher (CI 4–55%, p = 0.015) than before the pandemic through 2021.Abrupt service reductions occurred when the pandemic began: in-clinic methadone treatment dropped by two-thirds, counseling by 38%, opioid seizures by 29%, and drug arrests by 56%. Emergency transport for overdose and naloxone distributions increased at the pandemic onset (12%, 93%, respectively) and remained higher through 2021 (15%, 377%,). Regression results indicate that lower drug seizures predicted higher overdoses, and increased 911 transports predicted higher overdoses. The proportion of excess overdose deaths to excess non-COVID deaths after the pandemic relative to the year before was 0.28 in Pinellas County, larger than 75% of other US counties.ConclusionsService and interdiction interruptions likely contributed to overdose death increases during the pandemic. Relaxing restrictions on medical treatment for opioid addiction and public health interventions could have immediate and long-lasting effects when a major disruption, such as a pandemic, occurs. County level data dashboards comprised of overdose toxicology, and interdiction and service data, can help explain changes in overdose deaths. As a next step in predicting which policies and practices will best reduce local overdoses, we propose using simulation modeling with agent-based models to examine complex interacting systems.

ObjectiveTo investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of robot-assisted retrograde drilling and arthroscopic microfracture for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCLT).MethodsThis study was divided into two groups: experimental group: robot-assisted retrograde drilling group; control group: arthroscopic microfracture group. A total of 6 OCLT patients who were treated with robot navigation-assisted retrograde drilling and 10 OCLT patients who were treated with arthroscopic microfracture between October 2020 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and five females, with a mean age of 36 years. The patients were followed up for 6–12 months to compare the changes in the OCLT lesion area by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), visual analogue scale/score (VAS) and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society score (AOFAS) before and after surgery.ResultsAll 16 patients were followed up for an average of 8 months, and no complications such as joint infection, nerve injury, or active bleeding occurred during the follow-up period. Only one patient suffered discomfort involving transient postoperative pain in the operative area, but did not experience long-term numbness or chronic pain. Postoperative MRI revealed that none of the patients had severe signs of osteonecrosis, osteolysis or cystic changes of the talus, with lesion areas smaller than those before surgery. The difference was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.01). The patients in the experimental group showed a more significant improvement in the last 3 months than in the first 3 months of the follow-up period. At the last follow-up, the VAS score was 3 points in the experimental group and 2.2 points in the control group, and the AOFAS score was 88.6 points in the experimental group and 88 points in the control group, all of which were significantly higher than those before operation, and the differences were statistically significant, but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups.ConclusionBoth robot navigation-assisted retrograde drilling and arthroscopic microfracture for bone marrow stimulation (BMS) to treat OCLT in all patients obtained satisfactory effects in the short term. In addition, the follow-up revealed that with excellent efficacy and few complications, robot navigation-assisted retrograde drilling was safe and minimally invasive, and greatly reduced operative time. Consequently, robot navigation-assisted retrograde drilling for BMS was a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of OCLT.

To study the radial growth of Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongholica, MP) trees in response to climatic factors against the global warming background in the northeast part of the Greater Khingan Mountains (GKM), 101 tree cores were collected at contrasting altitudes (1100 and 650 m) in the Mordoga area, a tree-ring width chronology of MP was established for that region at both altitudes, and the relation between climatic factors and ring width trends at different time scales was investigated. The results revealed four major findings. (1) The ring width chronology of MP in the low-altitude area has better quality. (2) The growth of MP at high (low) altitude was mainly influenced by temperature (precipitation) factors. (3) Before a sudden change in temperature, there was a decreasing trend in the annual indices of MPs at higher altitudes. The chronological coefficients of MPs at both altitudes showed a significant upward trend after the increase in temperature. (4) The sliding analysis results showed that the stability of the relationship between MP growth and its response to climatic factors at both altitudes was also mostly similar. MP growth is relatively stable and sensitive and to climatic factors as temperatures increase.
Alien Chromatin from Hordeeae Grasses Enhances the Compatibility of Epichloë Endophyte Symbiosis with the Hexaploid Wheat Triticum aestivum
Authors: Simpson Wayne R. , Tsujimoto Hisashi , Hume David E. , Johnson Richard D. 
Published: May 2024

The inoculation of Epichloë endophytes into modern cereals, resulting in systemic infection, depends on the genetics of both the host and the endophyte strain deployed. Until very recently, the only modern cereal to have been infected with Epichloë, in which normal phenotype seed-transmitted associations were achieved, is rye (Secale cereale). Whilst minor in-roads have been achieved in infecting hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), the phenotypes of these associations have all been extremely poor, including host death and stunting. To identify host genetic factors that may impact the compatibility of Epichloë infection in wheat, wheat–alien chromosome addition/substitution lines were inoculated with Epichloë, and the phenotypes of infected plants were assessed. Symbioses were identified whereby infected wheat plants were phenotypically like uninfected controls. These plants completed their full lifecycle, including the vertical transmission of Epichloë into the next generation of grain, and represent the first ever compatible wheat–Epichloë associations to be created.
Aspects historiques et écologiques des relations de l’ours polaire avec les Inuit
Authors: Randa Vladimir 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Reconstituting the relationship in space-time between the polar bear and the Inuit appears as an approach to" the anthropology of the polar bear". This is based on their common history as immigrants to the Arctic regions under the effects of eco-climatic changes. Several heretofore largely unstudied similarities between animal and man can be observed with respect to their behavior and physiological adaptation to the climate and the ecosystem. The predatory nature of both the bear and the Inuit introduces a dimension of competition into their relationship, whose constant evolution is illustrated throughout several cultural phases. Comptetitiveness is expressed in relative strength and rivalry in food-seeking from their basic prey, the seal. The question as to whether the bear may have had any "cultural" role in the appropriation of Arctic space by the Inuit remains unanswered.

Le système d'élevage de la bannière Ujumqin de l'Ouest. Mongolie-Intérieure, Chine
Authors: Hell Christian , Quéré Philippe 
Published: May 2024

This work consists in a study about the present agrarian situation of a small area of Inner Mongolia (People’s Republic of China) ; the final aim is to understand the global trajectory of the evolution of the ecosystem, and of the systems of production in the Ujumqin Banner (Xilin Gol League).
The physical study (climate, ecosystem and topography) demonstrates the existence of two seasons, the pasture yields of which being very unequal. Winter is corresponding to the season of lowest pasture yield, and is directly limitating the size of the livestock, by the weakness of its fodder ressources.
In 1958, as the collectivisation of the agriculture happened (the People’s Communes), the breeding system of the region is reaching the limit of its feeding capacities, for the winter migrations out of the banners were forbidden. The growth of the livestock between 1958 and 1978 is precipitating the whole animal husbandry into an overgrazing crisis : crisis of the feeding system and, in the same time, crisis of the ecosystem. The introduction of the mowing and the decollectivisation of 1982 (redistribution of the livestock) will release the situation, by a complete change in the breeding system : it has been converted into a pastoral and transhumant system, associated with mowing, based on family exploitations, owners of their livestock, and socially differenciated by the capacities of their mowing equipment. It allows to distinguish two types of exploitation : exploitations owning their mowing equipment, and non-equipped exploitations.
Those two types are actually overshooting the social threshold of reproduction in China (seven hundred yuan by worker and by year), but at the price of an overgrazing crisis.
The only solution to remedy the non-reversing evolution since 1958, and to avoid a new mortality crisis for the livestock, would be as follows : to increase the fodder ressources of the grasslands during the winter, and, consequently, to evolve bit by bit toward an agro-pastoral breeding system.
Inuit cosmology and the problem of the third sex
Authors: Oosten Jarich Gerlof 
Published: May 2024

The notion of the third sex was developed by Saladin d’Anglure (1986, 1988) to explain the crossing of boundary lines between the sexes in premodern Inuit society. Fienup-Riordan (1990) suggested that the contrast between human beings and animals might be the dominant contrast in the Western Arctic, whereas the contrast between men and women might prevail in the Central Arctic.
In this paper I propose that this distinction is artificial. I will examine some aspects of the alimentary and sexual codes of Inuit myths and rites in the Central Arctic to assess how the relationships between human beings and animals and those between men and women determine each other in the context of the moral order of the universe.
Des usages de « jeu » dans le vocabulaire rituel du monde altaïque
Authors: Hamayon Roberte N. 
Published: May 2024

L’article rappelle les divers usages rituels de la notion de « jeu » dans les langues mongoles et toungouses et en fait un premier repérage dans les langues turques. Ces usages varient d’un système symbolique à l’autre (danse, bond, lutte, course, tir, chant, musique, mime, et même décor...), définissant pour chacun une configuration propre. Jouer un rituel n’est pas seulement l’accomplir, mais tenter d’y remporter une victoire en sorte d’infléchir positivement le cours des choses soumis à l’issue du rituel. D’où la forte présence de la notion de jeu dans l’activité divinatoire et plus largement chamanique (qu’il faille « jouer » soi-même ou « faire jouer » les esprits). Une répartition de la notion de jeu rituel s’esquisse chez les peuples turcs d’Asie centrale entre combat armé et ronde soufie, reflétant celle, idéologique, entre chamanisme et islam, tandis que la musique instrumentale tend à être monopolisée par le barde.
En conclusion, « jouer » apparaît constitutif de l’acte rituel dans cette aire. Les modes gestuels sont l’essence du jeu rituel, les productions sonores n’en sont que les attributs, susceptibles de prendre leur autonomie.

Published: May 2024

Abstract. This research was conducted with the aim of looking at the impact of economic uncertainty on short – term borrowing activities of Indonesian firms, especially on trade credit. The researcher uses quantitative research that includes a total of 7218 firm – year observations collected from 607 companies listed on IDX from 1998 to 2021. Using fixed effect panel data regression, the results show that there is a significant relationship between economic uncertainty and trade payables, trade receivables, and net credits. There was a decrease in trade payable during a crisis, on the other hand, an increase in trade receivables and net credit during years with a higher level of uncertainty.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak jumlah kunjungan wisatawan terhadap pendapatan asli daerah Kota Manado tahun 2019-2021 serta menganalisa tren dan proporsi penerimaan pajak restoran di Kota Manado. Penelitian ini menggunakan realisasi pajak restoran sebagai variabel moderasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kunjungan wisatawan tidak berrpengaruh signifikan terhadap pendapatan asli daerah Kota Manado. Hal ini disebabkan karena adanya pandemi Covid-19 di periode 2019-2021 yang menyebabkan terganggunya jumlah kunjungan wisatawan ke Kota Manado. Selanjutnya ketika kunjungan wisatawan dimoderasi oleh realisasi pajak restoran maka didapati memperkuat pengaruh kunjungan wisatawan terhadap PAD Kota Manado. Hal ini dikarenakan penerimaan pajak restoran menjadi salah satu jenis pajak penyumbang terbesar dalam PAD Kota Manado.
Development of an integral approach in the methodology of scientific research and social practice
Authors: Ilganayeva Valentyna 
Published: May 2024

The article discusses theoretical and methodological aspects of the integral approach. It is noted that today the prerequisites for additional methodological reflection have already developed. The relevance of the topic is related to the need to understand the changes that occur in the conceptual field of integration as a process and state when achieving the integrity of structural formations and systems, in particular social ones. The main composition of the field of the concept of "integration" is noted, which is not limited to nominative aspects, but needs to be expanded at the expense of system, communicative, procedural, and spatial parameters.
Integration is considered not as development, but as a functional mechanism in the process of system development, the composition and functioning of which depends on the level of interaction in the system. It is shown that integration proceeds gradually, as the potential for combining elements in any system accumulates. It is proved that the potential of integration is provided by the development of the entire cumulative availability of its qualitative and quantitative integration parameters, in particular in the social system and its subsystems. The importance of developing an integral methodology for the formation of integral social thinking and consciousness is noted.
It is proposed to include the theory and practice of an integral approach to the education and training of specialists (teachers, managers, scientists), as well as to use the provisions of the theory and practice of an integral worldview for a wide audience.
Ten years of ideological anniversary and its reflections іn the periodicals of the USSR in the 1970s
Authors: Doiar Larysa 
Published: May 2024

The presented article was prepared as part of the research project of the Book Chamber of Ukraine, which is planned for implementation in the current year of 2023. In accordance with the formulated task — to establish the thematic and content priorities of printed publications of Ukraine in the 1970s — the author identified the raised problem as one that corresponds to the search parameter of the specified research project. This conclusion was made on the basis of a careful review of chamber and fund storage catalogs, namely: the annual catalog of 1970—1979, the alphabetical catalog within the boxes of ministries and departments of the Ukrainian SSR, the publishing catalog within the limits of metropolitan and regional publishing houses, the journal catalog of the corresponding fund storage of the State Printing Archive. Formulating the purpose of the presented article, the author proceeded from an implicative judgment about the obvious connection between the loudest ideological Soviet anniversaries of the 1970s (the 100th anniversary of the birth of V. Lenin (1970), the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (1972), the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution on the territory of the former Russian Empire (1977)) and the development of the national culture of the Ukrainian people at that time. In the context of the controversial discussion, the discourse regarding the predominant bilingualism of Ukrainians brought up by the Soviet authorities also got into the context. The primary source base for the writing of the presented article was the periodical press of the Ministry of Culture of the Ukrainian SSR, in particular, the journal "Socialist Culture" aimed at various sections of the republic's population, which in the period under study positioned itself as "a mass public and political monthly of the theory and practice of cultural construction." The concluding statement of the article is the statement about the development of Ukrainian Soviet culture in the paradigm of a harmonious combination between the socialist content and the national form of all manifestations of the cultural life of the Ukrainian SSR.
Printed publications of Ukraine 1919: campaign and propagandist segment
Authors: Doiar Larysa 
Published: May 2024

The presented article continues the historical and bibliographic studies of the author, carried out in recent years. This investigation is dedicated to the analysis of printed publications of Ukraine in 1919. The subject of the research was a variety of (books, magazines, printed and pictorial publications) publications of an agitational and propaganda nature. Considering the events in Ukraine in 1917—1921 as a struggle between three irreconcilable forces — the Bolsheviks, the White Guards and representatives of the Ukrainian national government, the author singled out their propaganda and propaganda publications. Considering the number of Soviet printed editions of 1919 preserved in the funds of the Book Chamber of Ukraine, this article includes only national-Ukrainian and White Guard editions of the specified content. A certain exception is the political memoirs of 1919 elaborated by the author, which, despite their nationally conscious authorship, place of publication and clear purpose, are full of controversial judgments of contradictory and even revealing content, which means that in a certain campaigning and propaganda sense they balance between several contemporaneous centers of struggle for power. Among the publications studied by the author, it was the memoirs that most rigidly demarcated the nationally-conscious forces of the Ukrainian liberation struggle of the specified period. The presented research is written in accordance with the requirements of modern methodology, is based on the principles of historicism, comprehensiveness and objectivity, applies general scientific (description, analysis, synthesis, generalization, classification) and special (periodization, historical-comparative, content analysis) methods of scientific research. The scientific novelty of the presented work is proven by the fact that a significant amount of materials of the State Print Archive (especially printed and pictorial editions) on the subject in question and the lack of comprehensive research that would summarize the propaganda and propaganda publications of 1919 preserved in the Book Chamber of Ukraine have not been processed.
