A corpus-based study of epicene pronouns used by Macedonian learners of English
Authors: Stojanovska-Ilievska Natasha 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article presents the findings of a study of the epicene pronouns used by Macedonian learners of English to refer anaphorically to compound indefinite pronouns and common-gender nouns as antecedents in their essays written in English. This study is based on the Macedonian component of the International Corpus of Learner English and aims to discover the distribution of epicene pronouns (he, he or she, and singular they), and the relationship between the choice of an epicene pronoun and particular antecedent (sub)types. The association between the use of specific epicene pronouns and the students’ gender, as well as their year of study at the university, was also investigated. The results point to a more widespread application of singular they compared to he or she and he. The findings also reveal an association between specific epicene pronouns and the degree of individuation of the antecedent. There was virtually no statistically significant difference in the students’ use of each pronoun across the academic years. It also appeared that there was no statistically significant difference between male and female participants regarding their use of epicene pronouns. Finally, the limitations of this study are discussed and directions are offered for future research.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this study, the activity concentration of artificial and natural radionuclides such as 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, and 232Th was measured in the soil under the roots; leaves; and fruits of six different fruit trees namely mulberry, fig, apricot, olive, black and white grapes in Koya district, Erbil province, Iraq. For this purpose, a high-resolution gamma spectroscopy consisting of a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector was used. In addition, the associated radiological risks from soil and fruits were assessed by calculating several radiological indices such as radium equivalent (Raeq.s), absorbed dose (Ds), indoor (AEDEs

indoor
) and outdoor annual effective doses (AEDEs

outdoor
), internal and external hazard indices, gamma index and the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELRCs). The results show that consuming these fruits is radiologically safe because they can cause an annual effective dose of about 61.72 μSv y−1 and excess lifetime cancer risk of 0.06 × 10−3 Sv y−1. On the other hand, transfer factors of radionuclides from soil to leaves; and from soil to fruits were studied. The transfer factor analysis revealed that among the studied fruits and radionuclides, apricot and mulberry exhibited the highest transfer factors for 40K, with values of 1.85 and 1.87, respectively.

Authors: Saadoon Abather , Kraus Nicholas 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article presents new tablets and fragments from the British Museum that belong to the collection of Early Dynastic and Sargonic tablets discovered at Ur. Having been overlooked for almost a century, the tablets offer new insights into Early Dynastic and Sargonic archives from Ur. Most significant among the contributions are the names of several months demonstrating that the Early Semitic calendar was in use in Ur during the Early Dynastic IIIa period. Second, the tablets contribute a new month name to the calendar of pre-Sargonic Ur and permit a possible reconstruction of the order of the months of the calendar.

Authors: Debourse Céline , Gabbay Uri 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this article, we shed new light on the series with the emic title ‘Ancient Sumerian’, previously known from the Late Babylonian ritual texts for the New Year Festival. We first establish a new reading of the title, the key to which lies in a Late Babylonian pseudepigraphic letter. Following that, we present the contents of the series, including the edition of the hitherto unpublished tablet BM 32544+ that according to its colophon belongs to the series. Finally, we discuss the possible purposes of the series in its Late Babylonian context, where ritual in its written form took on an unprecedented role in the temple cult.

Published: June 2024

The waste management process is important in Bangladesh where infectious and non-infectious diseases are common. In a resource constrained region, community engagement for waste management can add great value. A youth-initiated and engaged approach to collaboration among local communities is presented in this research. This research took place over a one and half year time frame in fifteen urban, suburban, and rural regions, consisting of 55 families and 15 individuals engaged in waste management activity. The youth leaders were eager to make changes, being frustrated at the authority’s inability to solve local pollution. The collaborative teams were able to continue the work through the time period using various technology platforms. The technology leadership of youth enabled a trusted connection among youth and community members. The research work shows promise to increase communication, collaboration, and collective engagement in local problem solving. However, engagement is not gender neutral, and the work presented reflects societal gender-based challenges which requires attention. This work is expected to provide opportunities for low-resource communities towards problem solving using existing technology platforms.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from different host species
Authors: Pintér Krisztina , Pollák Boglárka Dóra , Gantelet Hubert , Magyar Tibor 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe spread of antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges of our time, making it difficult to treat bacterial diseases. Pasteurella multocida is a widespread facultative pathogenic bacterium, which causes a wide range of diseases in both mammals and birds. In the present study, antibiotic susceptibility of 155 P. multocida strains were tested using the broth microdilution method to obtain the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for 15 antibiotics. The most effective antibiotics against pasteurellosis were ceftiofur, tetracycline, doxycycline, florfenicol and tilmicosin. Of the strains, 12 proved to be multi-drug resistant (MDR). To combat antibiotic resistance, it is important to establish a pre-treatment antibiotic susceptibility profile. A well-chosen antibiotic would not only make the treatment more successful but may also slow down the spread of resistance and the evolution of MDR strains.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBotrytis cinerea is one of the fungal pathogens with the widest host plant spectrum, causing serious yield losses and significant economic damage in vineyards from year to year. As an ubiquitous, polyphagous fungal pathogen, with both saprophytic and parasitic lifestyle. The sequential use of active substances belonging to the same chemical family to protect vineyards can lead to an increase in fungal chemical resistance, which is reflected in the enrichment of point mutations in the genomic regions coding proteins involved in the mechanism of action of different pesticides. The aim of our studies was to compare the sensitivity to different fungicides of B. cinerea populations in two wine regions with different pest management practices: the Tokaj region, where the presence of B. cinerea is necessary to produce noble rot wines, and the adjacent Eger Region, where a total protection against B. cinerea is desired. Our study is the first Hungarian report of some previously studied resistance mutations in ERG27 and SDHB protein-coding genes. We identified point mutations in ERG27 transmembrane domain that have not been previously described but may affect the emergence of resistance to certain fungicides. Our study shows that the B. cinerea population of the Northern Hungary region is consistently characterized by an increase in fenhexamid resistance.

AbstractLead halide perovskites are notorious for water-sensitivity and low hardness. Consequently, polishing CsPbBr3 crystals to achieve high-quality surfaces is challenging. We present a breakthrough mechanical polishing methodology tailored to the specific needs of these soft, moisture-sensitive semiconductors. Three-dimensional optical surface profiles over ~ 1 mm2 areas demonstrate high-quality surfaces with root-mean-square roughness values (< 10 nm) that are unparalleled for melt-grown CsPbBr3. We additionally delve into the polished wafers’ fundamental optical constants and introduce an anti-reflection coating method, setting new standards for short-wave infrared transparency in CsPbBr3. These pivotal processing guidelines pave the way for advancing halide perovskite applications beyond academic curiosity.

Authors: Charykova Olga G. , Salnikova Elena V. 
Published: June 2024

Subject. The issues of spatial development of the fruit and berry market become especially important due to the increasing asymmetry in the development of administrative-territorial units of the state, strengthening of globalisation processes with simultaneous regionalisation and integration of markets. They lead not only to changes in socio-economic components, but also have a significant impact on the development of space, leading to its transformation.Objectives. To enhance theoretical provisions concerning the spatial development of the fruit and berry market and to determine the trends in the spatial development of this market in Russia. To propose measures to improve the efficiency of fruit and berry market development in terms of the spatial aspect.Methodology. We used the following methods of scientific knowledge to achieve our goals: dialectical; analysis, synthesis, and comparison. In the process of research, various literature sources were studied: periodicals, monographs, and statistical digests.Conclusions. Conclusions were drawn about the spatial development of the fruit and berry market as a combination of changes that improve food supply to the population of certain territories. The research revealed significant spatial differentiation in both production (supply) and consumption (demand) of fruits and berries. Theoretical and analytical research allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to support demand (generate demand) and supply (stimulate producers in different categories) of the domestic fruit and berry market.
Tax audits of customs payments

Published: June 2024

Subject. The article examines issues related to the organisation of audits and audit methods used to validate that all customs payments were duly calculated, recorded, and paid. Currently, these control measures are carried out separately by customs authorities, tax inspectors, and external or internal auditors. Such an approach reduces the effectiveness of audits and does not provide for the minimum level of audit risk. Therefore, this article substantiates a systematic approach to tax audits with regard to customs payments from the perspective of all stakeholders in tax relations. Objectives. To provide recommendations related to the organisation of tax audits and methodology of tax audits related to customs payments in the context of the modern digital economy and risk-based audits. Research methods. To achieve the goals, the scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, classification, and systematic approach were used. The research was based on the study of the current regulatory framework, relevant economic research papers and journals, and factual materials. Results. The authors of the article carried out an overview of the definition of “tax audits” and proposed their own definition in the context of audits of customs tax payments. The characteristics of various levels of tax audits with regard to customs payments were systematised to validate that all customs payments were duly calculated, recorded, and paid. Conclusions. It was concluded that currently there is no systematic approach among scientists to the definition of “tax audits”, as well as to its organisation and methods. The obtained results can be used for further development of ideas about tax audits with regard to customs payments which, in their turn, can contribute to making informed and effective decisions in the area of administration of taxes and levies.
