Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare, potentially fatal systemic reaction characterized by multiorgan damage involving the liver, hematopoietic system and skin, and heterogeneous manifestations of fever, rash, lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia with unpredictable course.We describe a 41-year-old female patient who developed DRESS syndrome after taking sulfasalazine prescribed for non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Treatment with intravenous and then oral glucocorticoids was effective. A review of the literature on this topic is presented.
Drivers of Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) mortality in Central and Western Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Tariq , Li Bo 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) is the only member of the order Pholidota found in Pakistan. The current study was designed to compare the mortality rate and causes of mortality of Indian pangolin from eight districts, i.e., four from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and four from Punjab, Pakistan during 2019–2022. Data were collected by using self-designed questionnaires (n = 340) and social media reports. Most of the data were collected from Facebook 53 %, followed by Instagram (22 %), WhatsApp (17 %), and OLX (10 %). Mean and standard deviation were computed for district-wise killing (mean ± SD 15.25 ± 10.21), season-wise killing (mean ± SD 30.50 ± 9.8), month wise killing (mean ± SD 10.38 ± 4.19) and area wise killing (mean ± SD 40.7 ± 17.6). The killing of 179 Indian pangolins was recorded in four districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while in Punjab 59 Indian pangolins were killed. According to interviewees, 33 % of the mortality of Indian pangolin was caused by illegal killing followed by human settlement (17 %), agricultural practices (13 %), mites and ticks (11 %), natural mortality (8 %), accidents (7 %), myth (6 %), and floods (5 %). District wildlife departments of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab arrested many people (KPK n = 83, Punjab n = 57) during 2019–2022. The highest fines were imposed by the Chakwal Wildlife Department, i.e., 20,000–60,000 PKR along with 1–4 months of imprisonment sentences. Eight dead pangolins were recovered among those six were male (75 %) and two were female (25 %). Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that PC appears to be influenced the most by mites and ticks (MT), myth, natural mortality (NM) and “flood” given their strong loadings. PC2 was heavily influenced by killed for illegal trade (KFIT), accident, and agriculture practices (AP) due to their significant negative loadings. PC3 has NM and AP as the dominant variables, KFIT, also playing a role but in the opposite direction. PC4 showed strong influences from NM (negative) and flood (positive). We concluded that the illegal killing of Indian pangolin is very high. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these unique and endangered creatures.
Production, purification, and determination of the biochemical properties of β-glucosidase in Trichoderma koningii via solid substrate fermentation
Authors: Çelen Yücetürk Selma , Azaz Ayşe Dilek 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The β-glucosidase enzyme was obtained from Trichoderma koningii Oudem. NRRL 54330 under optimal conditions by solid substrate fermentation (SSF) using corn cobs as substrate. The enzyme was purified by two-step procedures, ammonium sulphate precipitation and cefarose-4B-l-tyrosine-1-naphthylamine hydrophobic interaction chromatography, followed by biochemical and kinetic characterisation. The β-glucosidase was obtained from T. koningii using ground corn cob as substrate and Na2HPO4, pH 9, as humidification medium. The optimum conditions for enzyme production by SSF were 30 °C and 6 days. The purification efficiency of the obtained β-glucosidase was calculated to be 22.56-fold with a yield of 73.51 %. In the determination of β-glucosidase activity, p-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (pNPG) substrate was used, and the optimum pH and temperature values at which β-glucosidase showed high activity were determined to be pH 3.0 and 75 °C. The purity of the enzyme and the presence/number of subunits were checked using two different electrophoretic methods, SDS-PAGE and NATIVE-PAGE electrophoretic methods. The K
m and V
max values of the purified enzyme were determined to be 0.16 mM and 2000 EU respectively. It was also found that d-(+)-glucose and δ-gluconolactone inhibitors exhibited competitive inhibition of β-glucosidase in the presence of pNPG.

Authors: Amrouni Amina , Azouaou Lamia 
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This research work attempts to identify the determining factors of Koléa university campus generation Z students’ entrepreneurial intention.
Design/Method/Approach: The applied research method is a quantitative approach in which a sample of 93 responses were analyzed using two software tools, IBM SPSS 25 and smartPLS4, and by adopting Structural Equation Modeling and Partial Least Squares for analysis and estimation.
Findings: Results showed a significant and positive impact of subjective norms on the entrepreneurial intention of the study sample. However, entrepreneurial training, attitude towards entrepreneurship, and perceived behavioral control had no impact on the entrepreneurial intentions of these students.
Theoretical Implications: This study contributes to the extent literature on generation Z students’ entrepreneurial intention in an Algerian context by highlighting the importance of subjective norms in fostering this intention.
Practical Implications: Algerian universities should pay more attention to entrepreneurial education and trainings they offer to their students in order to incite them to create their own business.
Originality/Value: Understanding the characteristics of generation Z students is important for universities and businesses. knowing what stimulates the generation Z entrepreneurial intention is both interesting and primordial. In addition, such study in the Algerian context is scarce and still not common.
Research Limitations/Future Research: Limitations in this study include those related to the size of the sample and its area by focusing only on Koléa university students. Therefore, it is desirable to conduct more studies on the variables impacting entrepreneurial intention among Generation Z students enrolled in different Algerian institutions and to draw conclusions by extrapolating the results.

Published: April 2024

AbstractComposite materials are vulnerable to impacts that may occur during their use. Such transverse loads represent a significant threat to these materials because they can cause damage that is difficult to detect. Thus, understanding the mechanical behavior of composite materials during impacts is crucial for improving their damage resistance. Therefore, this study investigates the response of two commonly used composite panels in maritime transportation—a PVC core sandwich composite and a laminated GFRP composite—under quasi-static indentation (QSI). Using numerical simulations with Abaqus/Explicit, this investigation aims to anticipate mechanical characteristics and damage patterns during low-velocity impact. Results show a strong correlation between numerical and experimental data. The force-displacement curves aid in understanding damage sequences, with predicted maximum loads at 1.43% and 6.45% accuracy for laminated and sandwich composites. Both exhibit significant damage, including permanent indentation, matrix cracks, fiber fractures, and prevalent delamination around the impact point.
$$\pi$$ quantization in the Berry phase by the multiple degenerate points
Authors: Watanabe Fuka , Hirata Keijiro , Tojo Tatsuki , Takeda Kyozaburo 
Published: April 2024

AbstractSemiconductors have a valence band consisting of multi-subbands. Inter-subband interaction causes multiple degenerate points near the Brillouin zone center $$\Gamma$$
Γ
even when the system exhibits space-reversal asymmetry. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of the existence of multiple degenerate points on topological features using Berry parameter investigation. For reasonable generalization, we propose a model Hamiltonian that represents multiple degeneracies in a two-dimensional quantum-well system. We also explored “topological” modifications through numerical calculations of the effective magnetic field and Berry’s connection and curvature. We found that the energy dependence of the Berry phase is affected by the interaction between degenerate points.

According to the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia, from 1970 to 2019, cardiovascular diseases remain one of the main causes of death in Russia. To date, the relationship between cardiovascular mortality and deprivation in Russia remains insufficiently studied.Aim. To identify the relationship between regional deprivation and cardiovascular mortality among the adult population of Russia.Material and methods. The Russian deprivation index was used to measure the deprivation level. The index indicators were obtained from official Rosstat statistics and the All-Russian Population Census for 2010. Cardiovascular mortality by age (five-year groups) and sex in the constituent entities of Russia from 2006 to 2012 was obtained from the Russian database on fertility and mortality of the Center for Demographic Research of the Russian Economic School.Results. The fully adjusted model showed a reduction in mortality (Mortality Rate Ratio (MRR), 0,93; 95% confidence interval: 0,91-0,94) in regions with the greatest overall deprivation compared to the least deprived regions. There is a decrease in mortality in the most socially deprived regions compared to the least deprived ones. The fully adjusted model showed a trend toward increased mortality across levels of economic deprivation (from less deprived (Q2) to more deprived (Q3 and Q4) compared to least deprived regions (Q1)). Our study showed an increase in mortality in the most environmentally deprived regions — MRR, 1,02; 95% confidence interval: 1,00-1,04.Conclusion. The study established a link between general, social, economic and environmental deprivation and cardiovascular mortality.

The state of the heart after a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019) is very diverse and in some cases requires a complex differential diagnosis. We described a 35-year-old smoking male patient who, by the end of the first month after COVID-19, developed left ventricular dysfunction with decrease in ejection fraction to 25-30% and persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB). Echocardiography also detected local contractility disorders. A significant increase in blood anticardiac antibody titers was noted. Myocardial biopsy revealed active lymphocytic myocarditis, coronavirus ribonucleic acid, while coronary angiography revealed extensive stenosis of the anterior interventricular artery. On the first day after balloon angioplasty and stenting, the disappearance of LBBB block was noted with the appearance of deep negative T waves in the precordial leads, which did not allow ruling out a previous myocardial infarction. As a result of treatment of heart failure and steroid therapy, the structural and functional cardiac parameters and the electrocardiography were completely normalized by the end of the second year of treatment. Only a transient LBBB remained at high loads. Cardiac computed tomography after 2 years showed no delayed contrast agent accumulation in the myocardium, and coronary stenosis up to 30%.The mechanisms of complex myocardial and coronary damage (including the role of coronaritis in the atherosclerosis progression) after COVID-19 are discussed.

Establishing theoretical foundations for predicting the structural and morphological characteristics of diffusion-welded joints of the beryllium–copper composite
Authors: Syrnev B. V. , Maslennikov O. I. , Semilutskaya O. V. 
Published: April 2024

The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies regarding the quality of diffusion welding of the beryllium–copper composite. Numerical investigations of the parameters of heterodiffusion of diffusants and the thickness of the Be–Cu pair welded joint under varying temperature-time conditions were conducted. The analytical examinations revealed that the thickness of the diffusion weld at the Be–Cu joint varies between 26 and 345 µm, with the temperature increasing from 800 to 1000 °C and the holding time ranging from 20 to 120 min. The calculated layer thickness during the diffusion welding of a Be–Cu pair at 800 °C for 2 h is 65 µm, with 15 µm on the beryllium side and 50 µm on the copper side. Notably, a CuBe3 intermetallic compound zone can form in the diffusion weld, which should be considered an adverse factor that reduces the mechanical properties. To theoretically substantiate the modification of the structure and properties of the diffusion zone, a numerical study of welding was carried out using a 10 μm thick nickel foil spacer, which is readily soluble in beryllium. It was demonstrated that after exposure to temperature-time conditions at 900 °C for 20 min, a 50 µm wide diffusion-bonded joint is formed. Its structure includes two single-phase zones of solid solutions based on copper and beryllium, as well as two two-phase regions consisting of solid solutions hardened with intermetallic compounds. Since the weld lacks structural zones consisting solely of intermetallic compounds (unlike when welding the Be–Cu diffusion pair), there are grounds to anticipate a reduction in the embrittling effect on the weld. The results obtained from the analytical studies can serve as the foundation for a theoretical prediction method for assessing the quality of diffusion welding of the beryllium–copper composite.
Концепция заботы сообщества: от критики приютов к неолиберальному аутсорсингу социальных услуг. Опыт Великобритании
Authors: Здравомыслова Елена , Богданова Елена 
Published: April 2024

В статье рассматривается концепция заботы сообщества (community care), которая все глубже интегрируется в поле социальной политики на локальном, региональном, национальном и глобальном уровнях. Проекты долговременного ухода, реализуемые в России с 2016 г., также опираются на принципы заботы сообщества, как одной из форм социальной поддержки людей, частично или полностью утративших способность к самообслуживанию. Понятие заботы сообщества имеет богатую историю и тесно связано с социальными реформами, трансформациями социального государства, получает различные интерпретации и охватывает широкий круг акторов и практик социальной поддержки. В статье освещаются разнообразные грани концепции, включая историческое развитие, социально-­политические аспекты и практическое применение в адресной поддержке различных социальных групп, таких как пожилые, лица с ограниченными возможностями и люди, испытывающие расстройства психического здоровья. Особое внимание уделяется роли социальных исследователей в критике традиционных институциальных форм заботы и продвижении принципов заботы сообщества. Мы анализируем исторический опыт Великобритании, где впервые сформулировано это понятие, и рассматриваем его эволюцию – от критики институциальной заботы к развитию локальных солидарностей и борьбе за социальную инклюзию уязвимых групп в условиях неолиберального поворота в социальной политике. Мы также обсуждаем современные вызовы и перспективы community care, особенно в контексте российской системы долговременного ухода и подчеркиваем необходимость критической ревизии и адаптации существующих моделей к российскому контексту. Исследование демонстрирует, что интерпретация и социальная политика community care являются динамичными и контекстуальными процессами, непосредственно связанными с социологической экспертизой и политическими приоритетами партий и правительств.
Организационные условия формирования местных сообществ на примере деятельности сельских фольклорных ансамблей Удмуртии
Authors: Власова Татьяна 
Published: April 2024

В фокусе статьи ‒ соотношение разных институциональных форм деятельности фольклорных ансамблей в сельских учреждениях культуры Удмуртской Республики. Автор пытается осмыслить, как традиционные практики пения взаимодействуют с официальными требованиями и нормами, установленными культурными учреждениями. Практики совместного пения в современном селе исследуются с опорой на конструктивистскую парадигму с помощью методов этнографического описания и концепта «изобретения традиции». Эмпирическую базу исследования составили 36 интервью, собранных в северных, менее урбанизированных районах Удмуртии, где до сих пор сохранились самобытные практики индивидуального и группового пения. Сельская местность остается богатым исследовательским полем для изучения специфических стилей символического потребления, поддерживаемых через сохранение языка и элементы традиционной культуры. Статья выявляет, как сотрудники учреждений культуры стремятся интенсифицировать общение на удмуртском языке, включая народные песни в репертуар, соответствующий институциальным стандартам исполнения. Институциализованная народная традиция воспроизводится в практиках неформального пения на домашних праздниках и в дружеском кругу, создавая сложную сеть социальных связей между участниками сельского сообщества. Это исследование не только освещает специфику деятельности фольклорных ансамблей и практик пения в современных сельских сообществах Удмуртии, но и предлагает посмотреть на социокультурные процессы, происходящие на стыке институциального регулирования и живой народной традиции.
Взросление в терапевтической культуре: самоконтроль и самопознание как основа новой культурной модели
Authors: Андреева Анастасия 
Published: April 2024

Терапевтическая культура, пришедшая в Россию в эпоху перехода к рыночной экономике, повлияла на то, как люди стали проживать и интерпретировать свой материальный и эмоциональный опыт взросления в постсоветском обществе. Несмотря на ее распространенность и активное обсуждение в академических кругах, малоизученным остается вопрос, как именно терапевтическая культура трансформирует культурную модель взрослости. В данной статье, опираясь на фукианские концепции власти-­знания, техники заботы о себе, а также на модель терапевтической самости Силва, анализируются особенности взросления молодежи в контексте терапевтической культуры. Эмпирическую базу исследования составили 40 глубинных полуструктурированных интервью с миллениалами из Санкт-­Петербурга и Краснодара. Анализ показал, что терапевтический нарратив является главным способом презентации процесса взросления, а концепции контроля и осознанности (власти-­знания в терапевтическом контексте) выступают ключевыми в формировании культурного образа взрослости. Исследование выявило важность возрастных и гендерных различий в восприятии терапевтической культуры. «Младшие» миллениалы воспринимают ее как данность, в то время как старшее поколение относится к ней более критически и недоверчиво. Женщины используют терапевтический язык для рефлексии, осознания личных границ и обсуждения травм, в то время как мужчины применяют его в более практичном ключе. В процессе анализа представлений о взрослении сделан вывод: терапевтическая культура, воплощая власть-­знание, одновременно является инструментом заботы о себе.
